I went over to Gatsby’s house et about seven o’clock. I felt nervous among all these people I didn’t know, so I walked around looking for Gatsby.

The man at the table looked at me and smiled.
“I think I have seen you before,” he said politely. “Were you in the army during the war? Were you in the First Division?”
“Why, yes I was.” I was surprised.

“Do you want to fly with me tomorrow, young fellow?” he asked.
I wanted to go and accepted. I was about to ask his name when he said to me, “Are you having a good time now?”

“I thought you knew, young fellow. I’m sorry — I suppose I’m not a very good host.”

Katy Perry became the most popular person on Twitter in 2013 and, with nearly 70 million followers, she was still the most popular person on Twitter in 2014. She is so popular that she is still the Queen of Twitter.
It seems the Grammy Awards (格菜美奖) just don’t prefer Katy Perry--the US singer and songwriter has been nominated (提名…为候选人) 13 times for her music without ever taking home a prize. But Twitter users and music lovers obviously don’t see eye to eye with the award committee (奖项委员会).
In an interview with USA Today she shared her secrets to successfully managing social media (社交媒体), giving tips such as “don’t use it just to promote yourself”, “don’t be self-indulgent (放纵自己的)” and “don’t pay attention to your haters”.
On social media, Katy doesn’t fight back against every rumour or criticism (谣言或批评) . Her great music also keeps her style. She sticks to herself and pays no attention to anyone who says otherwise.
This year, the pop star brought her Prismatic World Tour to Guangzhou and Shanghai. Tickets were sold out shortly after they went on sale online.
Katy first made her entrance into the music business in 2008 with her hit single I Kissed a Girl, and she became internationally famous, with the album Teenage Dream in 2010. Katy was unwilling to become a pop-rock idol, and she developed a special style with her colourful dresses and straightforward words of songs. In a conversation with USA Today, Katy offered this opinion: “If you tried to please everyone, you’d have no sense of self. You’d lose yourself in the process of being a people-pleaser and there would be nothing special left.”
30. Katy Perry became very popular on Twitter __________.
A. only once
B.13 times
C. for one year
D. in 2013
31. The underlined expression “see eye to eye” is closest in meaning to “__________”.

D. be in disagreement
32. Katy Perry successfully managed social media because she __________.
A. was pleased with it

Failure is part of life. How people respond to (回应) it is very important both to their decisions and achievements.
We may have such expectations: “If I reach that goal, how happy would I feel?” In a recent study, we wanted to understand how such expectations may change when facing failure. Are people able to predict (预测) their own happiness?
The old saying “The grass is always greener on the other side.” suggests that people spend much time expecting things they can’t have. But is this a good model for how ordinary people face failure? According to the story The Fox and the Grapes, failure often leads us to drop our earliest plan. In the story, the fox jumps with all his strength, yet he fails to reach the grapes. Finally, he walks away, concluding that the grapes were sour.
So, which is it: greener grass or sour grapes? We did an experiment to research how people respond to failure.
About 1,200 participants (参加者) joined in the study. On the practice before a test, half of them were told that they had performed in the bottom 20 percent, while the other half, in the top 20 percent. They were then asked to predict how they would feel if they got a high score on the actual test.
The research results showed that those who received poor feedback (反馈) on the practice predicted that they would feel less happiness and less pride, compared to those who received strong feedback. However, when they received a top score on the actual test later, they were just as happy as the other half, and much happier than they had predicted before. This suggests that the first failure made people devalue (降......的价值) how good it would feel to succeed in the future.
The question though, is why failure makes us devalue our future happiness.
According to Professor Jon Elster, people don’t always know what they want, and often change their wishes to match the things they can reach. When the result doesn’t fit the one they expected, they protect themselves by devaluing the goal — rather than devaluing themselves. In other words, we tend to protect our positive (积极的) sense of self by refusing to accept the possible happiness of future achievements.
Separation (脱离) from personal goals can be useful, if it helps people give up the impossible goals and set better and more achievable ones. However, if the sour-grape effect comes too early and people become fearful of failure, they could miss the chance to try again and don’t realize that what once seemed impossible is now within reach,
37．What does the story The Fox and the gapers suggest?
A. The result depends on what goal is set.
B. Difficulties result in a higher expectation.
C. Failure makes future success less attractive.
D. Past performance doesn’t help predict future happiness.
38．Why did the researchers organize a practice before the actual test?
A. To let them know about their real ability.
B. To compare their feelings towards success later.
C. To make them feel worried about their performance.
D. To make them know more about the test they were going to take.
39．What do we know from the passage?
A. The participants cared more about strong feedback.
B. The happier people are those who predict less happiness.
C. The participants’ performance failed to match their abilities.
D. People devalue the goal to keep a positive view of themselves.
40．What is the writer trying to tell us?
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. Separation stops people from changing wishes.
C. Something that seems impossible is worth trying sometimes.
D. The sour-grape effect pushes us to keep moving forward.

阅读短文及文后A～B选项，选出可以填入41～45各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Since the great success of cloning(克隆) the sheep Dolly, the cloning of human beings is no longer a fictional (虚构的) story but can be proved to be medically possible. 41 I just want to say: NO! NEVER!
42 For example, they believe that if we could clone a new Einstein, we would make more progress on physics; and if we could get a new Shakespeare, we would enjoy more classic literary works and ... But how can we make sure that another Hitler could not be brought back to life “thanks to” cloning? Moreover, can we give birth to a baby who exactly shares your grand grandpa’s genes? We would be confused by that relationship. 43
Some scientists believe that we can get the organs (器官) we need to save people’s life from the cloned persons. But is it unfair to them? Even if they are not created by nature but by technology, they are a kind of life. 44 I do not suppose this action is humane.
45 It is against the natural law. Life should be a cycle from birth to death and then rebirth and re-death. Every round of change can produce more varieties of genes. Therefore, our human beings can live rather than copying ourselves repeatedly, which I believe would lead to the final retrogression (退化) of human species.
