You looked so happy!After losing two grandparents within the past year, I have taken some time to reflect on what is most important. I want to let you know what a positive influence you have been on me. I am the person I am because of you.I remember being on your farm a lot when I was younger. I remember the projects you planned for us. We painted rocks to represent our family members. We made doll clothes out of colorful socks. We made many “playhouse” in the woods.We learned that if you left a bucket of soybeans in the rain, you would soon have a bucket of growing beans. We learned that if we helped pick the strawberries in the morning, we’d have them on our ice cream in the afternoon. We learned that some plants have funny names, like the elephant ear plant. We learned that you could make do with what you had. We learned that making things out of paper and cardboard was more fun than what came inside the packaging. Welearned it was OK to get dirty, but Grandma would wash us up before Mom came.You once made models of ev eryone’s houses, which made me want to be an architect. Another time, you made quilts for all of the grandkids. I still use mine every night. The edgy had worn out. But you taught me how to fix it.I love and respect you. You are always patient, with a quiet determination.Grandma, thank you for everything you have taught me. I hope that I am able to pass on all these memories and skills to my children and grandchildren.Love alwaysKelly56. After losing two grandparents, the author began to_______.A. realize her grandma’s influence on herB. become a person like her grandmaC. write to her grandma regularlyD. like her grandma very much57. On her grandma’s fans, Kelly learned to_______.A. make strawberry ice creamB. name different funny plantsC. mend the worn-out edge of her quiltD. use cupboards to make models of houses58. Kelly’s grandma________.A. was willing to help othersB. was skilled in making thingsC. wanted Kelly to be an architectD. disliked the kid’s bad behaviors59. Kelly wrote this letter mainly to _______.A. send her grandma best wishes for ChristmasB. show love and respect for her grandmaC. recall her happy life on the farmD. ask her grandma for helpBOn a February day during an unusually mild winter, I found myself missing the snowy beauty. I enjoyed the feeling that comes from watching snow fall gently from heaven while I’m cozy inside with a good fire burning in the stove. But there were more serious concerns, like the lack if rainfall making our woods more accessible to summer forest fires. Local ski fields and hotels, all dependent on a snowy season, felt sorry for vacant lifts, empty restaurants and unused snowmobiles.Then I happened to see three little robin（知更鸟）fly into our yard. What were they doing here? West of us, in the Willannette Valley, wild flowers burst this time of year. But here in central Oregon, even if a groundhog（土拨鼠）had wanted to appear, it couldn’t have broken through the froze n earth. And yet, these robins had arrived.Their presence brought me a flow of happiness. It felt like a celebration as I dug into my leg of birdseed and spread a handful on the ground. Above me, the deep blue sky was cloudless, perfectly quiet but for s ome smoke from a neighbor’s chimney. The lively could made the air fresh and clean.My robin jumped lightly toward the seed. My soul jumped with them, feeling equally carefree. Caught up in the moment of spring fever, I checked out snowless flower beds. To my delight, I spotted a green branch sticking out through the brown soil.Despite the cold, It wasn’t ready to go back inside, Just a short meeting with those robins had renewed my spirit. The next day I would return to my outdoor work with a cheerful heart and a hopeful eye for these signs of spring.60. The author missed a snowy winter because snow could______.A. prevent forest firesB. boom his businessC. promise an early springD. bring him a good feeling61. The author felt happy when finding_____.A. the sky was deep blue with cloudsB. three little robins flew into his yardC. wild flowers burst in the Willamette ValleyD. a grounding appeared through the frozen earth62. We can infer from the passage that the author______.A. would enjoy wild flowers the next dayB. though winter was already overC. longed for the coming of springD. loved robins the mostCCooking Kills Four Million People a YearPolluted airborne particle（大气悬浮颗粒）kill 7 million people a year, reports the World Health Organization.That news may not come as a surprise to anyone who has seen images of chimneys in Beijing, Delhi or Mexico. But those factories---or even the jammed roadways of modern cities---are not the biggest killer. Each year, some 4.3million people die earlier than they should because of polluted air inside their homes, says the WHO.What’s causing the air inside people’s homes to be so poisonous that it kills around 11, 000 people a day? Stoves. “Having an open fire in your kitchen is like burning 400 cigarettes an hour.” says Kirk Smith, a professor at the University of California Berkeley, whose research suggests that household air pollution from cooking killed between 3.5 million and 4million people in 2013.Not all stoves causes this kind of harm. The ones Smith’s talking about are those that the 3 billion people in the developing world use for heat and cooking, which burn solid fuels such as wood, coal, or crop waste instead of gas. The smoke from those fires produces harmful fine particles and carbon monoxide into homes. Poor ventilation then prevents that smoke from escaping, raising fine particle levels 100 times higher than the limits that the WHO considers acceptable.Breathing this air day in day out eventually causes lots of disease; more than a third of the 4.3million die of a smoke, while a quarter die of heart disease. And around one-third of annual lung disease deaths worldwide are due to waste from coal stoves.Exposure lends to be extremely harmful for the people who spend the most time around the fire—usually women and young children. In fact, the WHO reports that household air pollution almost doubles the risk for childhood lung disease.63. According to Kirk Smith’s research, _______.A. factories are the biggest killer worldwide nowadaysB. burning 400 cigarettes an hour is extremely dangerousC. household air pollution from cooking is surprisingly harmfulD. some 4.3 million people die earlier each year than they should64. What should be the deadly killer in a household kitchens?A. Solid fuelsB. Goal stovesC. Pour gasD. Cooking smoke65. The underlined word “ventilation” in paragraph means______A. airingB. cookingC. burningD. cooling66. The author intent to tell people______A. how to avoid polluted air in their homesB. to stop cooking in the household kitchenC. to guard against household pollution from cookingD. how to prevent childhood lung diseases in householdDYour dilemma has two aspects: your employer demands loyalty, but you want to help another working woman. The question is whether you can act properly towards both. Your personal view about the unfair maternity policy makes it complicated. In the United States, paid maternity leave（带薪产假）is not an automatic benefit guaranteed by the government. Even unpaid leave is only permitted for a limited period with certain working hours.It’s understandable that you feel such divided loyalties, said Gretchen Zetoony, a licensed clin ical expert in Virginia. “On the other hand, you want to be careful not to provide information that might discomfort your employer in a negotiation; on the other hand, it’s natural to feel sympathetic toward someone in a similar situation. Particularly if you see the company’s policy as unfair.” She said.Before you give advice on negotiating a better maternity-leave package, remember to be careful with what you say. “If you are nervous that your employer could learn you had advised her, that should be a g uide for you that you may wander into a questionable area”. Zetoony said.What happens if your colleagues discover that this applicant benefits simply because of your advice. That may not be formal discrimination but it might creat a bad feeling among col leagues who are not working mothers and who didn’t joinyour organization armed with insider tips.” In this case, the risk isn’t as much as about betraying your employer or your fellow women as possibly creating conflict in the workplace if colleagues notice that you helped an applicant gain an advantage because you share some personal characteristics.” Zetoony said. If that happens, and you find that your colleagues are whispering about you, or openly complaining, address the situation with a calm sit-down. Explain that you felt you had to help this woman pass her away through the organization’s human-resources maze, and that you would do the same for anyone who asked you for advice.There might be a better way to help women negotiate maternity leave than advising them, Consider getting together with colleagues who also care about this issue to advocate for bettering family leave policies within your organization, Zetoony suggests. The more employees who join you, the more likely management are to listen, It is also applicable in other components of an employment offer where you will face such a dilemma.67. One may fall into a dilemma mainly because______A. he thinks the maternity policy unfairB. his employer breaks the maternity policyC. the US government protects his employerD. his woman colleague asks for a paid leave68. According to Zetoony, your nervousness might lead to _______A. your employer’s forgivenessB. an even more embarrassing situationC. your employer’s sympathyD. an exposure to your characteristics69. From the passage, in a similar dilemma, you’d better_______A. talk to your employer directlyB. put forward more applicable solutionsC. give your colleagues a helping hand sincerelyD. gather more colleagues to work out better policies70. What’s the author’s attitude towards maternity leave?A. SupportiveB. NeutralC. NegativeD. Critical第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Other days, I feel a sense of expectation within me just thinking about fall that makes me want to burst. Tonight, all five of us were in the family room doing our own things.At this moment, my littlest kid is my number one trouble and my number one joy. He has a tooth on the way and although it’s such a tiny thing, it’s causing so much grief. I’m holding him a lot and I’m not going to lie. I live for his afternoon nap (小睡) so I’m able to actually get dressed and use the restroom.The big E is starting school soon. The other day, I found myself a bit depressed about the end of summer and the beginning of another school year. I looked out of our front window with eyes that were heavy and a bit teary. Then, I suddenly realized just how silly this end of summer depression of mine is. I can’t change time. But, I can change my emotions and my tho ughts. I decided not to spend my final days of summer vacation walking around with a sad face. I decided to hug the last few days of summer and remind myself that before I know it, we will be back in our school routine and all will go well.This week we plan on meeting teachers. I’m taking my girl to have her nails done before her first day of kindergarten. We want to bake a few dozen cookies. We’ll take our evening walks as usual and stay up late. And last but not least, I’ll get school cloth ready, I’ll pack lunches and write lunch notes, we’ll read“The Kissing Hand,”like we normally do, and I’ll tuck (掖好被子) my third grader and kindergartener in their little beds before the big first day.Thank you summer, you’ve been warm and wonderful, you’ve been sweet and sticky, you’ve been refreshing and exactly what we need. And your sunsets have been amazing, so thank you.56. According to Paragraph 1, the author __________.A. feels excitedB. has mixed feelingsC. feels worriedD. has bad feelings57. How will the author spend the final days of the summer vacation?A. Live a simple life.B. Stay at home and relax herself.C. Treasure the vacation.D. Walk around with a depressed face.58. From the passage, we can learn that the author __________.A. is fond of reading novelsB. has two annoying childrenC. often takes evening walksD. has no time to get dressedBEver walked to the shops only to find, once there, you’ve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years we’ve accepted that a forg etful brain is as much a part of ageing as wrinkles and grey hair. But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it all wrong.According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s – much later than previously thought.Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we retain them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years it’s been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggestsotherwise.This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, order people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving. Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed – how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with ageing. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we’re younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older we’ve learne d our lessons and are sub-consciously aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.59. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that __________.A. the young are better at handling important thingsB. people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60sC. ageing leads to the decline of the function of the brainD. wrinkles and grey hair are the only symbols of ageing60. The continuing research has found older people perform better on __________.A. vocabulary testsB. number abilityC. perceptual speedD. body balance61. People are happier with age because __________.A. they learn to value the time leftB. they know how to share feelingsC. they cannot focus on negative aspectsD. they do not realize the possible dangers62. What is the main idea of the passage?A. People get wiser with age.B. People get more forgetful with age.C. People get happier with age.D. People get more self-aware with age.CEveryone procrastinates. We put things off because we don’t want to do them, or because we have too many other things on our plates. Putting things off – big or small –is part of being human. But procrastination does have consequences. When your procrastination leaves you feeling discouraged, it is time to take action, and one of the best ways to get rid of it is to make an un-scheduled.An un-schedule is a weekly calendar of all the ways in which your time is already accounted for. You consider not only your timed commitments such as classes and meetings, but also your untimed activities such as meals, exercise, time with friends, and the like. Once you have made your un-schedule, you may be able to see your time is often filled with more activities than you realize, for instance, that you really don’t have five hours to spend writing on the night before your paper is due. Procrastinators’ views of time tend to b e unrealistic, and the un-schedule can help you outline a realistic plan.By planning accordingly, you will not only get a better night’s sleep, you may also end up witha better paper.The un-schedule might also be a good way to get started on a larger project, such as a term paper or an honors paper. You may think that you have “all semester” to get the writing done, but if you really map out how much time you have available to write on a daily and weekly basis, you will see that you need to get started sooner, rather than later. In addition, the un-schedule may reveal especially busy weeks or months, which will help you budget time for long-term projects. Perhaps most importantly, the un-schedule can help you examine how you spend your time. You may be surprised at how much time you spend watching television, and decide to make a change. It’s especially important that you build time for fun activities into your un-schedule. Otherwise, you will procrastinate in order to steal time for relaxation.You can also use the un-schedule to record your progress towards your goal. Reward yourself for your small successes. Seeing what you’ve achieved will help you reinforce (强化) the productive behavior, and you will feel more motivated in the following process.As you explore ways to conquer procrastination, don’t expect overnight transformation. You developed the habit over a long time; you aren’t going stop magically. But you can change the behavior, bit by bit. If you start to make an un-schedule now, you will eventually develop new habits.63. From Paragraph 2, we can know that procrastinators __________.A. usually have sleeping problemsB. tend to be unrealistic in daily lifeC. spend more time in doing exerciseD. often fail to notice untimed activities64. Which of the following statements best reflects an un-schedule?A. “Now I have more time for fun.”B. “I can start my big project later.”C. “I’ll treat myself to a movie for my progress.”D. “I’m going to have more time to finish my paper.”65. According to the writer, people need to make an un-schedule because of their __________.A. interests in doing things differentlyB. determination to try out new thingsC. inability to manage time properlyD. lack of concentration on a project66. The author writes the passage to __________.A. show concernsB. offer suggestionsC. express dissatisfactionD. make commentsDI wish documentaries, not movies. I read history books, not fiction. I use every free moment to accomplish one of the tasks on my never-ending checklist, and I am completely filled with thoughts of productivity. An hour sleeping is an hour wasted. And like the rest of 21st century America, I like it. But this fixation on productivity is increasingly destroying character and transforming men into robots.New York Times columnist David Brooks warned American University students of this cultural decline in a speech. “We cut off all things spiritual and emotional in a competitive urge to stand out”, he said, “The pressure to succeed professionally, to acquire skills, to do the things you need to do to succeed in an information age economy really became the overwhelming (难以应付的) pressure, and it sort of eclipses the thinking about character and morality.Many students happily go to college, viewing it as a next step on their rise to professional achievement. Forcing as many success-building activities into their schedules as they can, they enjoy keeping busy with little sleep. “Today’s outstanding kids are likely to spend theirafternoons and weekends shuttling from one skill-improving activity to the next,” Brooks wrote in an article, “We fear failure more than we desire success.”A century ago, college was about character building. Today, our characters are in decline. We are experts on economics, material things and professional skills. We fail to discuss andunderstand relationships, emotions and all things spiritual. Philosophers Karl Popper divided the world into two categories: Clocks and Clouds. Clock problems are those that can be taken apart, examined and solved through deductive reasoning (演绎推理). Clouds cannot be taken apart. Cloud problems represent whole systems that need to be understood in a different way. “When we have a Cloud problem, we try to turn into a Clock problem,” Brooks said. And in a reason-centered culture, adding titles to one’s resume becomes a trend. At American University, 85 percent of seniors (and 89 percent of business majors) graduate with at least one practical experience which is often helpful to a student’s future career, but can sometimes draw focus away from academics.To prevent the death of man’s character, B rooks urges rediscovering our human natures through falling in love. And by love he means love for a task, job, or another person. “Synchronicity is key to happiness,” he said. Rather than crazily increasing our long lists of accomplishments, we need to lose ourselves in what we do, and success will come on its own.67. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that people __________.A. are controlled by timeB. are keen on reading booksC. are changing their charactersD. are eager to achieve more68. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “eclipses” means __________.A. deletesB. weakensC. worsensD. emphasizes69. The last paragraph mainly tells us that __________.A. love is more important than focusB. the focus on human natures countsC. more work contributes to happinessD. success comes from devotion to work.70. The purpose of this passage is to __________.A. bring awareness to character buildingB. stress the importance of productivityC. warn about the pressure to seek successD. criticize students’desire for achievements 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）Weighing the OptionsMaking decisions when shopping is often a tough call. Even if you’re satisfied with the first dress you try on, would you go on looking for alternatives, comparing styles and prices, until literally dropped dead?Psychology researchers have studied how people make decisions and concluded there are two basic styles. “Maximizes” like to take their tim e and weigh a wide range of options, –sometimes every possible one –before choosing. “Satisficers” would rather be fast than thorough. __________ (71) So even if they see what would seem to meet their requirements, they can’t make a decision until after they’ve examined every option to make sure that they’re making the best possible choice. Researchers followed 548 job-seeking college seniors at 11 schools from October through their graduation in June. They found that the maximizers landed better jobs. __________ (72)“The maximizers is kicking himself because he can’t examine every option and at some point had to just pick something,” they say. “Maximizers make best decisions and end up feeling bad about them. __________ (73)”Satisficers also have high standards, but they are happier than maximizers. Maximizers tend to be more depressed and to report a lower satisfaction with life, his research found. Faced with so many choices in our lives, we need to learn how not to waste time and energy on our decision-making. _________ (74) For instance, if you’re picking a restaurant for lunch meeting, first deciding on a certain part of town or type of cuisine can narrow your options.Once you’ve arrived at a decision, stick with it. __________ (75) To limit the nu mber of options you can set a time for decision-making. Say you are buying a new bag, you could spend an amount of time studying features, price and value – but if you give yourself only five minutes to make a decision, and there are only bags you can cons ider, you’ll save time. You’ll be happier with your decision, too.A. Maximizers are people who want the best.B. First of all, decrease your range of options.C. Comparing is often a must when you make a decision.D. Just accept that no decision is ever completely perfect.E. Satisficers make good decisions and end up feeling good.F. The other is to make decisions more accurately at the beginning.G.

Infact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak betweenour 40s and 60s – much later than previously thought.Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we retain them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years it’s been assumed that brain, muchlike the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happensto people as they age suggests otherwise.This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive(认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically,order people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words youcan remember) and problem solving.Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed – how fastyou can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with ageing. A recent US studyfound older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. Itis thought that when we’re younger we need to focus more on the negative aspectsof life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get olderwe’ve lea rned our lessons and are sub-consciously aware that we have less time leftin life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.59. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that __________.A. the young are better at handling important thingsB. people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60sC. ageing leads to the decline of the function of the brainD. wrinkles and greyhair are the only symbols of ageing60. The continuing research has found older people perform better on __________.A. vocabulary testsB. number abilityC. perceptual speedD. body balance61. People are happier with age because __________.A. they learn to value the time leftB. they know how to share feelingsC. they cannot focus on negative aspectsD. they do not realize the possible dangers62. What is the main idea of the passage?A. People get wiser with age.B. People get more forgetful with age.C. People get happier with age.D. People get more self-aware with age.CEveryone procrastinates. We put things off because we don’t want to do them, or because we have too many other things on our plates. Putting things off – big orsmall – is part of being human. But procrastination does have consequences. Whenyour procrastination leaves you feeling discouraged, it is time to take action,and one of the best ways to get rid of it is to make an un-scheduled.An un-schedule is a weekly calendar of all the ways in which your time is already accounted for. You consider not only your timed commitments such as classes and meetings, but also your untimed activities such as meals, exercise, time with friends,and the like. Once you have made your un-schedule, you may be able to see your timeis often filled with more activities than you realize, for instance, that you reallydon’t have five hours to spend writing on the night before your paper is due. Procrastinators’ views of time tend to be unrealistic, and the un-schedule can helpyou outline a realistic plan. By planning accordingly, you will not only get a better night’s sleep, you may also end up with a better paper.The un-schedule might also be a good way to get started on a larger project, suchas a te rm paper or an honors paper. You may think that you have “all semester” toget the writing done, but if you really map out how much time you have available towrite on a daily and weekly basis, you will see that you need to get started sooner, rather than later. In addition, the un-schedule may reveal especially busy weeksor months, which will help you budget time for long-term projects.Perhaps most importantly, the un-schedule can help you examine how you spend your time. You may be surprised at how much time you spend watching television, and decideto make a change. It’s especially important that you build time for fun activitiesinto your un-schedule. Otherwise, you will procrastinate in order to steal time for relaxation.You can also use the un-schedule to record your progress towards your goal. Reward yourself for your small successes. Seeing what you’ve achieved wi ll help you reinforce (强化) the productive behavior, and you will feel more motivated in the following process.As you explore ways to conquer procrastination, don’t expect overnight transformation. You developed the habit over a long time; you aren’t going stop magically. But you can change the behavior, bit by bit. If you start to make anun-schedule now, you will eventually develop new habits.63. From Paragraph 2, we can know that procrastinators __________.A. usually have sleeping problemsB. tend to be unrealistic in daily lifeC. spend more time in doing exerciseD. often fail to notice untimed activities64. Which of the following statements best reflects an un-schedule?A. “Now I have more time for fun.”B. “I can start my big project later.”C. “I’ll treat myself to a movie for my progress.”D. “I’m going to havemore time to finish my paper.”65. According to the writer, people need to make an un-schedule because of their__________.A. interests in doing things differentlyB. determination to try out new thingsC. inability to manage time properlyD. lack of concentration on a project66. The author writes the passage to __________.A. show concernsB. offer suggestionsC. express dissatisfactionD. make commentsDI wish documentaries, not movies. I read history books, not fiction. I use everyfree moment to accomplish one of the tasks on my never-ending checklist, and I am completely filled with thoughts of productivity. An hour sleeping is an hour wasted. And like the rest of 21st century America, I like it. But this fixation on productivityis increasingly destroying character and transforming men into robots.New York Times columnist David Brooks warned American University students of this cultural decline in a speech. “We cut off all things spiritual and emotional in a competitive urge to stand out”, he said, “The pressure to succeed professionally,to acquire skills, to do the things you need to do to succeed in an information age economy really became the overwhelming (难以应付的) pressure, and it sort of eclipsesthe thinking about character and morality.Many students happily go to college, viewing it as a next step on their rise to professional achievement. Forcing as many success-building activities into their schedules as they can, they enjoy keeping busy with little sleep. “Today’s outstanding kids are likely to spend their afternoons and weekends shuttling fromone skill-improving activity to the next,” Brooks wrote in an article, “We fear failure more than we desire success.”A century ago, college was about character building. Today, our characters are in decline. We are experts on economics, material things and professional skills. Wefail to discuss and understand relationships, emotions and all things spiritual. Philosophers Karl Popper divided the world into two categories: Clocks and Clouds.Clock problems are those that can be taken apart, examined and solved through deductive reasoning (演绎推理). Clouds cannot be taken apart. Cloud problems represent whole systems that need to be understood in a different way.“When we have a Cloud problem, we try to turn into a Clock problem,” Brooks said.And in a reason-centered culture, adding titles to one’s resume becomes a trend.At American University, 85 percent of seniors (and 89 percent of business majors) graduate with at least one practical experience which is often helpful to a student’s future career, but can sometimes draw focus away from academics.To prevent the death of man’s character, Brooks urges rediscovering our human natures through falling in love. And by love he means love for a task, job, or another person. “Synchronicity is key to happiness,” he said. Rather than crazily increasing our long lists of accomplishments, we need to lose ourselves in what we do, and successwill come on its own.67. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that people __________.A. are controlled by timeB. are keen on reading booksC. are changing their charactersD. are eager to achieve more68. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “eclipses” means __________.A. deletesB. weakensC. worsensD. emphasizes69. The last paragraph mainly tells us that __________.A. love is more important than focusB. the focus on human natures countsC. more work contributes to happinessD. success comes from devotion to work.70. The purpose of this passage is to __________.A. bring awareness to character buildingB. stress the importance ofproductivityC. warn about the pressure to seek successD. criticize students’ desire for achievements七选五 Weighing the OptionsMaking decisions when sh opping is often a tough call. Even if you’re satisfied with the first dress you try on, would you go on looking for alternatives, comparing styles and prices, until literally dropped dead?Psychology researchers have studied how people make decisions and concluded there are two basic styles. “Maximizes”like to take their time and weig h a wide rangeof options, –sometimes every possible one –before choosing. “Satisficers” would rather be fast than thorough.__________ (71) So even if they see what would seem to meet their requirements, they can’t make a decision until after they’v e examined every option to make sure that they’re making the best possible choice. Researchers followed 548 job-seeking college seniors at 11 schools from October through their graduation in June. They found that the maximizers landed better jobs. __________ (72) “The maximizers is kicking himself because he can’t examine every option and at some point had to just pick something,” they say. “Maximizers make best decisions and end up feeling bad about them. __________ (73)”Satisficers also have high standards, but they are happier than maximizers. Maximizers tend to be more depressed and to report a lower satisfaction with life, his research found.Faced with so many choices in our lives, we need to learn how not to waste time and energy on our decision-making._________ (74) For instance, if you’re picking a restaurant for lunch meeting, first deciding on a certain part of town or type of cuisine can narrow your options.Once you’ve arrived at a decision, stick with it. __________ (75) To limit the number of options you can set a time for decision-making. Say you are buying a new bag, you could spend an amount of time studying features, price and value – but if you give yourself only five minutes to make a decision, and there are only bags youc an consider, you’ll save time. You’ll be happier with your decision, too.A. Maximizers are people who want the best.B. First of all, decrease your range of options.C. Comparing is often a must when you make a decision.D. Just accept that no decision is ever completely perfect.E. Satisficers make good decisions and end up feeling good.F. The other is to make decisions more accurately at the beginning.G. Their starting salaries were 20 percent higher but they felt worse about their jobs.WRITING 1 你的英国朋友Tom 将来你家共度除⼣，你打算当天下午去地铁站接他。

海淀区2014届高三年级第一学期期末练习英语2高考英语2014-01-21 1228goals you should have set for yourself at the beginning and retool （改组）them as necessary. Goals should be realistic and specific, but that doesn’t mean they cant be flexible. Instead of looking at your project as a disaster or failure, view it with success. Concentrate on how great it will feel after it is finally done, after you have put your all into it. instead of focusing on a possible unsatisfactory performance one single time, take a moment to sit back and reward yourself for all that you have accomplished.Above all, don’t live with regrets. Success is never easy. It remains up to you whether you will give up , or fight through the tough battles to earn whatever you want. Keep reaching for your goals and you will achieve them. One small setback is nothing if you really want something and are willing to work for it.63．According to the passage, the philosophy “two steps forward, one step back” means thatwhen meeting with a setback.A．we are supposed to q uit and ignore the hard workB．we’d better think it over before making a decisionC．we should stop to think before taking further actionD．we are expected to look at things in an all-round way64．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to .A．a perfornnance B．a success C．agoal D．a project65．When we suffer a setback, the most important thing to dois .A．to keep moving forward to your goalsB．to de pend on others’ support and adviceC．to sit back and reward yourself for your successD．to focus on a possible unsatisfactory performance66．What is the passage mainly about?A．How to avoid the bumps.B．How to deal with the setbacks.C．Different attitudes to the setbacks.D．Different suggestions on your goals.DNow that the recession（经济衰退）is most likely over, it’s time to start looking at which companies, institutions, and individuals developed well during this unpleasant period. In the downturn that began in December 2007, the recession ruined the w ealthiest cconsumer markets—the united States, Europe, Japan—there were very few safe shelters. But some countries, such as Peru, managed to grow right through the global recession. And some companies arranged their business so that they resisted the contraction and benefited from the trends affecting their industry. Some even managed to bring more business.Chief among the Great Recession’s winners is McDonald’s.McDo nald’s sales growth in 2014 was greater than in 2006 and 2007. while many restaurants reduced their business operation, it opened nearly 600 stores in 2014. and the chain has achieved same-store sales growth in each of 2014’s first seven months.In 2014, after a decade of severely trading up to higher quality consumer goods and services, Americans began to trade down with a vengeance（报复）. McDonald’s, which has 44 percent of its 32,000 stores in the United States, was set up to profit from trading downin two ways. Fist, in a recession, people eat out less and at home more frequently. And when they eat out, they eat at cheaper places. McDonald’s is so cheap, efficient, and convenient that it was a practical alternative to cas ual restaurants like Ruby Tuesday.In the United States, McDonald’s may be a cheap source of caloriesin food. In other parts of the world, McDonald’s is an appealingbrand, identified with middle-class, westernized consumerism. Much of the world, such as China, India, is still not developed for the Golden Arches. Coincidentally, these are the right places where its business has continued to grow during the global recession. While it faces operational challenges in markets, McDonald’s has benefited form a weakening dollar and rising incomes in Asia.The question now for investors（投资者）is whether McDonald’s can survive the recovery. [来源学#科#网Z#X#X#K]When people feel better-off, will they still stop by? The growth in same-store sales in the United States has come down a little in recent months. And there’s a rising amount of the population that has grown accustomed to eating healthier and better. Going forward, McDonald’s may face larger cultural barriers in the United States than in China.67．From the passage we can infer that in the recession.A．the developing countries grew wealthierB．the rich countries became unable to recoverC．the Western companies suffered a great lossD．the opportunities were brought as well as challenges68．McDonald’s managed to remain popular in the recession mainly because of .A．its good operation B．the American food cultureC．its low price and convenience D．the weak value of dollars69．The underlined word “contraction” in Paragrap h Imeans .A．formal written agreement B．influence on industryC．disappointing management D．process of reduced trade70．What can be the best title for this passage?A．Who Won the RecessionB．Who Traded down in the RecessionC．How Western Business Survived the RecessionD．How McDonald’s Kept Growing after the Recession第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共2014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。
