If it were up to me, I’d write this piece next week or even later. Let the dust settle a bit. But I have my father’s insistent voice in my head: the story is now, so you write it now. No one wants to read last week’s news.
My father Michael was a journalist. He started at age 16 on his local paper, the Luton News, and after nine years there, he went on to a six-decade career that saw him write more than 40 biographies of Hollywood stars and spend a quarter-century presenting a weekly radio show.
From him I learned about deadlines and accuracy, and absorbed his rule about professional clothing, one he had been taught by his first boss. Even when he was working at home, my father would follow that rule: shirt and tie, every day.
There were other less obvious lessons. The first is about being manly. Driven
and competitive, he wasn’t present for the birth of any of his three children, but he was the very model of being loving and faithful. My father never took me to the football or taught me to change a tyre. In a pub, he might manage some drinks, but his main focus would usually be the food menu. He was a model of a different kind of maleness.
But perhaps the biggest lesson I learned from him was about resilience. He got deep blows, losing both his wife and firstborn child, my sister Fiona, within two years of each other. And yet, somehow, he got back up again. He taught himself to cook and continued to dress neatly, picking out a bright jacket that ensured he stood out in a room. He would meet editors and write stories with the same hunger he had
65 years earlier. Younger colleagues keep using the same word about him: appealing.
I hope I learned his resilience, the way I learned about being a journalist. People keep telling me that my father was proud of me; and the truth is I was proud of him. Raised in a hard-up corner of wartime England, he went off to see the world—and he never stopped looking forward and upward, staring at the stars.
4. What has made the author write down the text so soon?
A. His father’s words motivated him to do so.
B. He wanted to settle down after the writing.
C. He wanted to write it before he forgot it.
D. It was the story he insisted on writing.
5. What was the author’s impression of his father?
A. He always managed to dress up following the fashion.
B. He sometimes had a hard time meeting the work deadline.
C. He trained the author to be manly and do the basic things.
D. He was competitive at work and remained a loving Dad.
6. What was the best lesson the author learned from his father?
A. The necessity of keeping good shape.
B. Quick recovery from suffering or blow.
C. The ability to get a content career.
D. The pride one takes in his/her parents.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Dad Left a Deep Impression on Me for His Work
B. Dad Proved Faithful and Loving for the Family
C. My Dad Showed How to Be a Journalist and a Man
D. I Learned to Recover Quickly after a Suffering
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C
【解析】

【4题详解】

根据第一段“…But I have my father’s insistent voice in my head: the story is now, so you write it now. No one wants to read last week’s news.”可知我原本希望晚些时候再写文章，但父亲告诉不要等待，要立刻写最时新的内容，所以我才会迅速写下来。

故A项正确。

【5题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第四段第二句“The first is about being manly. Driven and competitive, he wasn’t present for the birth of any of his three children, but he was the very model of being loving and faithful.”可知父亲给我的印象是在工作方面很有竞争性，在生活里非常有爱心也值得信赖。

故D项正确。

【6题详解】

根据第五段“But perhaps the biggest lesson I learned from him was about resilience. He got deep blows, losing both his wife and firstborn child, my sister Fiona, ….And yet, somehow, he got back up again. He taugh t himself to cook and continued to dress neatly, picking out a bright jacket that ensured he stood out in a room.”可知父亲给我最大的教训是他有极强的适应能力，母亲和我的姐姐在两年内相继去世，父亲迅速从失去亲人的痛苦中恢复过来，投入到工作和生活之中。

故B项正确。

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。

本文是一篇记叙文，作者介绍了父亲对自己的巨大影响，从个人事业到做人，都给自己树立了很好的榜样。

C项与文章主旨相符，ABD都只是文章这的部分内容，不能涵盖本文全部内容。

所以选择C项。

C
At a time when almost anything can be purchased with just one click, it’s become an automatic response to simply replace what breaks. Generations raised in the earlier half of the 20th century will say that this wasn’t always so: household appliances （器具）, clothing, electronics and more used to be bought under the assumption that, with the occasional repairs, they would last a lifetime.
Now, some conscientious consumers are taking matters into their own hands and joining the Repair Café movement. Founded in Amsterdam in 2009 by sewing expert Martine Postma, the original nonprofit has expanded to more than 1,500 locations worldwide. These pop-up events, which are run by volunteers, offer lessons in how to fix anything from fixing a button to an unresponsive laptop.
“There’s juice and treats and you get to meet new people,” says Bennett, a retired civil servant and volunteer fixer at the Repair Cafe Toronto, where she mends jewellery. She brings her own specialized tools but says most items could be repaired by anyone with a pair of pliers and some determination. “Something that is broken took time and resources to make, so if you’re throwing it out, you’re wasting those resources. ”
If you can’t find a Repair Cafe near you, it’s easy to start one. RepairCafe. org offers a starter manual with step-by-step instructions.
Changing how we acquire things is necessary, but there’s also something to be said for simply not getting them in the first place. “Most of us have more than wh at we need,” says Marina. “This can lead to a lot of anxiety, like—think about everything packed in the back of your closet; do you own those things or do they own you?” She suggests we train ourselves to make mindful purchases.
Lazarovic, whose delayed purchase went even further, explains that less shopping has freed up more time for family activities, dinner with friends and making art. By doing so, as she puts it, “I got out of that need-to-buy-it craze and in the end
I feel good that I’ve made something.”
8. How would people raised in the 1940s deal with broken home appliances?
A. Sell them at a lower price.
B. Press the button to find the fault.
C. Repair them to last longer.
D. Donate them to recycling stations.
9. What does Bennett say about her work?
A. She likes the good food people bring for her work.
B. Helping make repairs means saving resources.
C. She will set up her own Repair Cafe soon.
D. She learned to repair jewels after she retired.
10. Which of the following best explains “conscientious” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A. Responsible.
B. Generous.
C. Powerful.
D. Irreplaceable.
11. What good does Lazarovic think less shopping will do to us?
A. It’ll make us less anxious about used things at home.
B. It’ll force us to make donations of unwanted things.
C. It’ll lead us to explore the world more responsibly.
D. It will provide us more time for beneficial events.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文，现代人习惯于扔掉坏掉的东西，带来了资源的极大浪费。

文章中介绍了呼吁人们节约资源修理坏物品的“the Repair Café movement”，同时还呼吁人们少买东西，多留时间参加有益的活动。

【8题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第一段最后一句“Generations raised in the earlier half of the 20th century will say that this wasn’t always so: household appliances（器具）, clothing, electronics and more used to be bought under the assumption that, with the occasional repairs, they would last a lifetime.”可知在20世纪前半叶出生的人通常会修复损坏的物品，让它们使用得更为长久。

故C项正确。

【9题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第三段最后一句“Something that is broken took time and resources to make, so if you’re throwing it out, you’re wasting those resources. ”可知Bennett 认为坏了的东西在生产的时候需要花费资源，如果它们坏了我们就把它们扔掉了，这是浪费
资源。

使用她认为修理坏了的东西等于节约资源。

故B项正确。

【10题详解】
猜测词意题。

根据本句“Now, some conscientious consumers are taking matters into their own hands and joining the Repair Café movement.”中后半句“joining the Repair Café movement”可知这些人参加了“the Repair Café movement”,他们不是把坏了的东西扔掉，而是修理坏了的东西。

说明他们都是对环境有责任心的人。

故A项正确。

【11题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段“Lazarovic, whose delayed purchase went even further, explains that less shopping has freed up more time for family activities, dinner with friends and making art. By doing so, as she puts i t, “I got out of that need-to-buy-it craze and in the end I feel good that I’ve made something.”可知Lazarovic认为少买东西可以让我们有更多时间参加家庭活动、和朋友聚会、学习艺术修身养性等，这些都是对我们有益的活动。

故D项正确。

D
Researchers say they have developed technology that could predict heart attacks years before they happen. They report using mathematical systems to examine CT images of a patient’s heart. A CT scan uses X-rays and a computer to make detailed pictures of bones, organs and other tissue inside the body.
The new method was developed by researchers at the University of Oxford in England.
A report on their study was published in the medical journal The Lancet. Also taking part in the study were teams from Germany and the US.
Most heart attacks result from a build-up of fatty tissue inside arteries（动脉）that carry blood from the heart to other areas of the body, thus blocking this flow of blood and causing a heart attack.
Currently, doctors use CT scans to learn when a sticky substance called plaque has already built up inside an artery. The new technology is designed to predict which arteries are at risk for future buildup.
The researchers reported using computers to examine CT scans to measure how much fat is present around heart arteries. That fat changes when an artery becomes affected, serving as an early warning system for heart attacks.
Charalambos, a professor at Oxford University, said he believes the research shows this method could be very effective in getting patients to take early steps to prevent future problems, adding that researchers had yet to estimate exactly how many heart attacks could be prevented. But he said he believes the technique could help identify between 20 to 30 percent of people at risk of having one.
He added that the new technology will make such predictions easier because it works together with existing CT technology. The research was based on two large, independent studies of 4,000 patients in Germany, and the US. A company with ties to Oxford University is developing a service to examine CT scans of patients around the world, Reuters reported.
12. What’s the aim of the new technology?
A. To predict ways to block fatty issues in heart arteries.
B. To provide detailed pictures of how arteries work.
C. To build computer models of the image of a heart.
D. To decide which arteries are likely to have fat built up.
13. When does a heart attack generally happen according to the text?
A. When the CT scan affects the flow of blood in the heart.
B. When fat around heart arteries blocks the flow of blood.
C. When a sticky material flows into an artery near the heart.
D. When bones and organs of the body begin to be weak.
14. What is an early warning for heart attacks?
A. A change of fat happening around heart arteries.
B. The finding of a sticky material in the blood.
C. The presence of fat around the bones and organs.
D. The aging and failure of arteries near the heart.
15. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. The harm of fat build-up to heart arteries.
B. The use of CT scans to prevent of heart attacks.
C. Research into the early warning of heart attacks.
D. The warning the body gives about heart attacks.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。

本文是一篇说明文，研究人员开发出新技术预测心脏病的发生，同时解释了心脏病发生的原理。

ABD都只是部分内容，C项与文章中心思想一致。

故选择C项正确。

【点睛】本文小题4考查了主旨大意题，ABD三项内容都只是文章部分内容，不能涵盖整体思想。

属于以偏概全。

所谓以偏概全，这就是说此类题型的选项中往往出现这些干扰项目：⑴．局部信息，即选项的内容小于文章的内容。

考生认为此选项有含有中心句的成分，就认为可以作为中心句，就犯了以点概面、以偏概全的错误。

⑵．范围过宽，即选项的内容大于文章的内容。

考生认为中心句的内容全涵盖在此选项里，就认为此选项正确，就犯了外延大而内涵小的错误。

本文小题4ABD三项都属于第一种情况，用局部信息代替中心思想。

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

本文是一篇说明文，人人都需要工作，工作方面的规则十分重要。

文章中详细介绍了四条与工作相关的有效建议。

【16题详解】
本句可以从线索词上得出答案，根据前句“This knowledge can not only help you find a good job.”中的not only可知本句应该使用“but also”连接，A项“It can also help your job search, saving precious time.”与上文一致，都在解释工作规则的好处。

所以选择A 项。

【17题详解】
横线前句“Don’t look for jobs while you’re working, and never use a work computer to search job listings.”建议我们不要在工作电脑上搜寻工作，因为你的工作电脑属于现公司，现公司可以得到你的电脑上所有信息，不利于你现在的工作。

G项“You see, your work computer belongs to the company, and they have access to everything on it.”符合上下文语境，所以选择G项。

【18题详解】
横线后句“Always answer positively, even if the truth is negative.”建议我们要说积极内容，不要抱怨以前工作的不利之处。

C项“This is not the time to complain about your boss or the company.”与后句一致，所以选择C项。

【19题详解】
横线前句“Great a networking tool as social media is, NEVER post that you’re looking for a job on Facebook or any other social media accounts.”建议我们不要把自己寻找工作的信息传到网上，现在是网络时代，咨询传播比较发达，你的信息很快就会传到你的公司，对你的工作带来负面影响。

D项“Otherwise, this message will find its way to people from your office.”与语境一致，所以选择D项。

【20题详解】
横线后一句“It presents a n opportunity for you and your boss to have a frank discussion about what could make the job a better fit for you.”可知当老板和你沟通的时候，一定要诚实表达你的意见和观点，这样才可以让老板知道你的诉求，找到最适合你的工作。

B项“If your current employer talks to you about it, be honest.”符合语境，所以选择B 项。

For the first time I shared my story in front of dozens of people ___29___ judging me, and suddenly all the ___30___ fears about speaking publicly started ___31___.
