AWhen I was a kid in the 1960s. my parents had a country store in the small town of Frankfort, Maine. No neighboring houses could be seen from our place,and new salesmen were always amazed at the amount of business we did. Dad's motto was, “We sell everything.” If he didn't ha ve something in store, he would pick it up for customers on his weekly trip to Bangor.One time Dad was in Bangor getting shoes for someone at a shoe factory. He saw big boxes full of shoes and asked about them. They were the mates(一双鞋中的一只) to faulty shoes that had been thrown away. He looked through the boxes and realized that there were usable brand-new shoes in there. He offered the manager five cents a shoe. Dad made the deal and got the manager to reserve any future boxes for him.Of course Mon, his bu siness partner, was more practical, and her first reaction was, “But what are you going to do with them?” Dad bought an old school bus. He cleaned it up, removed the seats and placed big containers down both sites of the aisle(通道). When all was ready, the whole family helped to put the shoes in place. At first, it looked like we had plenty of room on the bus, but Dad kept bringing home more boxes.There was no sign on the Shoe Bus. The only advertising Dad did was to place a piece of paper beside the store exit that read “Shoes $1 a pair.”When folks asked about the deal. they learned it wasn’t that easy because they had to find their own pairs. The attraction was a combination of getting a good deal on a quality pair of shoes and the thrill of the hunt.To this day I still run into people who talk about the fun they had searching for pairs in Dad's Shoe Bus.21. The author's parents ran their store well becauseA. they always had enough supplies in store.B. they won the great support of new salesmen.C. they opened it in a very crowded neighborhood.D. they did all they could to meet their customers' need.22. Why did the customers think it fun shaping in the Shoe Bus?A. There were free bus rides offered on them.B. 'They could receive better customer service.C. They could match pairs of shoes by themselves.D. There was a wide variety of shoes to choose from.23. What can we learn about the author's father from the text?A. He had a good nose for business.B. He was clever at transforming a store.C. He was patient with customersD. He had a strong preference for bargains.BFor the past 15 years, factory owner Kamal Parmar has been running an after-school program for slum kids in Ahmedabad, India, helping them with basic skills like reading and writing and even preparing for their school tests.Parmar’s story began one afternoon 15 years ago. He stopped a few kids returning home from the local school and took their exam paper and asked them a few questions. Shockingly, he made a shocking discovery--the students, even the older ones, knew nothing about reading except the alphabet. And that left him thinking that something should be done for these children.So he invited the kids to visit his workshop every evening, where he set up a temporary classroom with metal desks. The shabby school started off with 10 students. Today, the Footpath School has a total of 155 students and many of the kids that Parmar has taught in the past 15 years have gone to attend college and build successful careers.Despite having studied only till the seventh grade, he has been able to teach the kids by inventing creative techniques. He asks them to read first and then to form questions on their own and read them out. In this way, many kids learn all seven subjects in six months.Parma r’s family are very supportive of his project and are proud to see how much of an impact he has had on the kids. His students love him. Ten of his ex-students are currently serving as teachers at the school and he doesn’t have to employ any teachers.For t hose who are inspired by his story, but can’t actually volunteer at school, Parmar has a simple piece of ads ice: “Try to educate just one child a year, and see the difference it makes to the society.”24. Why did Parmar start the school?A. To earn some extra money.B. To become a good teacher.C. To help the poor kids with their education.D. To make himself famous.25. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The students’ poor reading ability.B. The students’ bad living conditi ons.C. The students’ terrible school exam result.D. The students’ lack of basic life skills.26. Which words can be used to describe Parmar?A. Diligent and intelligent.B. Selflessly and imaginative.C. Modest and patient.D. Humorous and rich.27. Parm ar’s advice in the last paragraph is to call on more people to.A. teach poor kidsB. work in his own factoryC. contribute more money to schoolsD. listen to his storiesCIf you want to be productive, you must complete work. Almost everything we do has many stages to completion and in many situations, you don’t actually create value until you finish the last stage. Farmers can’t sell their grain until it is harvested. Automakers can’t sell cars that have made it 90% of the way through the assembly line(生产线). Most employers aren’t going to pay you for having a degree unless you finished the last class and graduated.Now all those things require starting, but if you have work in progress, the most valuable thing you can do is to pick something and finish it. Finishing is where you start benefiting from the value you’ve created. I’ve noticed that many successful people aren’t the ones who are the smartest or have the best ideas. They are often the ones who do the best job of taking an idea and completing it. A good idea fully carried out is better than a great idea that never gets completed.Does this mean you need to finish everything you start? Not necessarily, but if you don’t think something is worth finishing, be honest with yourself and terminate the project. Don’t leave hundreds of half finished efforts lying around physically or mentally acting like you are going to come back and pick them up. If you need to drop something , do so strategically and intentionally. If you’ve put significant e ffort into a project, you may still benefit from finishing it even if you wouldn’t start it again based on changed circumstances. For example, if you are in your last few months before graduating from college and realize you don’t want to career in what yo u are majoring in, you probably should go ahead and graduate because there is significant value in having the degree---even if you don’t intend to actually work in that field.What projects do you have that are currently in progress? Can you find something and finish it?28. Why do many people become successful according to the author?A. They are the smartest.B. They have the best ideas.C. They start things smoothly.D. They make ideas fully completed.29. What does the underlined word “terminate” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Develop.B. End.C. Plan.D. Support.30. According to the author, which of the following is the correct way of creating value?A. A man decides to finish all he starts to doB. Farmers hurry to sell their crops before they are ripeC. A college student chooses to study until he gets his degreeD. A student keeps a half-filled stamp album around for future use31. What is the best title for the text?A. Finishing vs. Starting.B. Well Begun is Half Done.C. Planning vs. Performing.D. It is Easier Said than Done.DThe Nazca Lines are a series of large ancient geoglyphs (地画) in the Nazca Desert, in southern Peru. It is ranging from geometric patterns to drawings of different animals and stylizedhuman-like forms. The ancient lines can only be truly taken in from high in the air, leaving generations puzzled as to how these precise works could have been completed long before the documented invention of human flight.The Lines were first spotted when commercial airlines began flying across the Peruvian desert in the 1920s. Who built them and what was their purpose? Are they roads, star pointers, maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures? Did they have a plan? These markings are like a vast puzzle.The Nazca Lines are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs in the world. There are also huge geoglyphs in Egypt, Malta, United States (Mississippi and California), Chile, Bolivia and in other countries. But the Nazca geoglyphs, because of their numbers, characteristics, dimensions and cultural continuity as they were made and remade throughout a certain history period, form the most impressive archeological (考古学的) group.The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it, due to the combination of the climate (one of the driest on Earth, with only twenty minutes of rainfall per year) and the flat, stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level. With no dust or sand to cover the plain and little rain or wind to erode (腐蚀) it, lines drawn here tend to stay drawn. These factors, combined with the existence of lighter-colored subsoil beneath the desert surface, provide a vast writing pad that is suited to the artist who wants to leave his mark eternal.32. What can we know about the Nazca Lines from the first two paragraphs?A. They were built as a big map.B. They were formed by nature.C. They are ancient lines in caves.D. They are huge markings in a desert.33. How many factors make the Nazca Lines the most impressive?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.34. Why are the Nazca Lines well preserved?A. Because of the wind at ground level.B. Because of the existence of soft soil.C. Because of the climate and geography.D. Because of the thick sand on the top.35. What does the underlined word “eternal” probably mean?A. Non-stop.B. Ever-lasting.C. Real-life.D. High-end.第二节(共 5 小题,每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)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。

考试用时120分钟第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂。
A.A.have a night time journeyB.become a member of the zooC.stay in one of Chester and Cheshire’s hotelsD.join one of the daily animal talks in the zoo2.What is special about LANTERN MAGIC?A.Animals can be adopted.B.Visitors can get cheaper zoo tickets.C.Festive characters and lanterns can be seen.D.Visitors can do voluntary work for the zoo.3.You can get the information about the membership at ________.A. B./hotelsC./talks D./christmasBPlants go into a state of complete “panic” when it rains, according to surprised scientists. This response is so unusual because plants obviously need water to live. The researchers think that the “panic” response is due to the fact that moisture creates the number one way for diseases to spread in vegetation.Biochemist Harvey Millar from the University of Western Australia explained: “When a raindrop splashes across a leaf, tiny droplets of water go in all directions. These droplets can contain bacteria, or viruses. A single droplet can spread these up to 10 meters to surrounding plants.” The longer a leaf is wet, the greater the chance that a disease can take hold.So this is why the researchers think plants react to rain like humans would react to someone sneezing on them. They conducted an experiment in which they mimicked rain with a spray bottle and noticed rapidmicroscopic reactions from the plants that are invisible to the human eye. After the first 10 minutes of artificial raining, over 700 genes in the plants were said to respond in a panic-like manner and most of them continued to do so for around 15 minutes. In this time chemical reactions like how the plant creates proteins and its hormone balance were affected.A single touch of water activated an immediate response from plants. The reactions created warning signals that travelled from leaf to leaf and resulted in the plant producing a range of protective measures. Plants that were repeatedly watered eventually suffered from stunted growth and delayed flowering.Interestingly, the plants were also found to be communicating their “fears” with nearby vegetation. They did this by producing airborne chemicals that can be picked up by other plants and inform them what’s going on and how they’re coping. Millar said: “If a plant’s neighbors have their defence systems turned on, they are less likely to spread disease, so i t’s in their best interest for plants to spread the warning to nearby plants.”4.Paragraph 2 mainly talks about ________.A.how droplets spread bacteria or virusesB.why plants get into a “panic” when it rainsC.how tiny drops of water go in all directionsD.that longer leaves can take hold of more diseases5.The underlined word “mimicked” is closest to ________ in meaning.A.poured B.fetchedC.contained D.imitated6.Why does the author mention the experiment in Paragraph 3?A.To question the ideas mentioned above.B.To introduce a new topic for discussion.C.To offer additional topic-related information.D.To compare it with previous experiments.7.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Plants respond to water slowly.B.Plants shut their defence systems when it rains.C.Plants only communicate within their own species.D.Plants may not grow well when watered too frequently.CPeople speak English in different parts of the world. The same words can be used in different ways, depending on where you live. People can also have completely different ways of saying the same thing.The Oxford English Dictionary(OED) is asking the public to help it add new words. Editors want to find the regional differences in English around the world. They want to expand its record of the language.Last year, the OED, BBC Radio and the Forward Arts Foundation teamed up to find local words in the United Kingdom. It resulted in more than 100 regional words and phrases being added to the dictionary. One was “cuddy wifter”, which m eans a left-handed person.Now, the OED is widening its search to English speakers around the world. Eleanor Maier, an editor at OED, said the response has been great. Editors are listing a bunch of suggestions to include in the dictionary.These include H awaii’s “hammajang”, which means “in a disorderly state”. Another is the word for a swimming costume, “dookers” or “duckers”.

The latest findings throw new light on the origins and social structure of the groups that built megaliths in this region—a history that has long been hidden in mystery.For their study, the international team of researchers analyzed the genomes—the complete set of genetic material in a cell—of 24 Stone Age individuals from five megalithic burial sites in Ireland, Scotland and Gotland, a large Swedish island in the Baltic Sea.This analysis showed that many of the individuals buried at each megalith, who all lived between 3,800 B.C.and 2,600 B.C., according to radiocarbon-dating of their remains, were closely related via family ties.The results also showed that the individuals buried at the megaliths were related to Neolithic farmers in northern and western Europe but genetically distinct from other hunter-gatherers. This was particularly noticeable at the Ansarve site on the island of Gotland.“The people buried in the Ansarve tomb are remarkably different on a genetic level compared to the individuals dug out from hunter-gather contexts, showing that the burial tradition in this megalithic tomb, which lasted for over 700 years, was performed by distinct groups with roots in the EuropeanNeolithic expansion,” Magdalena Fraser, co-first author from Uppsala University, said in the statement. 12.What’s the significance of the new findings?A.It reveals the family ties between people in Ireland and Sweden.B.It implies that many people buried in the tombs were closely related.C.It indicates the long-hidden mystery concerning DNA analysis.D.It suggests that the megaliths became tombs thousands of years ago.13.How did the researchers reach their findings?A.By interviewing individuals. B.By travelling to different regions.C.By analyzing genes. D.By studying the burial sites.14.Which is true according to the latest findings?A.Some people buried in the tombs were related to farmers.B.Few people buried in the tombs were genetically different.C.All the people buried at megaliths had family relationships.D.People buried in the Ansarve tomb were dug out 700 years later.15.What’s the main idea of this passage?A.Megaliths served as tombs thousands of years ago.B.People buried at the megaliths were recently analyzed.C.Latest findings shed light on a mystery about burials.D.Stone-Age people in Ireland and Sweden had close ties.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。

AThere are many ways to get involved and volunteer at the National Museum of American History. Becoming a Museum Ambassador is one of them. To learn more about this volunteer program, please see the descriptions below.Museum Ambassadors at the American History Museum are a mobile source of information that helps bridge the gap between two other volunteer groups here at the museum—information desk specialists, who provide orientation(方向)assistance when guests arrive, and volunteer docents(讲师), who provide Highlights tours, facilitate hands-on demonstrations and circulate through many of our exhibitions to interact with visitors. Each year, our Museum Ambassadors help over 100,000 people get the most out of their visits by welcoming groups, circulating throughout the museum's public zones to answer basic questions, and directing visitors to programs and exhibitions of interest. The museum has also employed the Museum Ambassadors to assist with special projects and events as needed.To learn more about what Museum Ambassadors do, check out what Larry has said, "As museum ambassadors, we get to share in the curiosity of a child, the nostalgia(怀旧)of returning visitors, the treasure hunt of students assigned to find important historical objects, and the amazement of those experiencing our eye on the nation's history for the first time. We can help recommend a meaningful museum visit just for you. There's more. We're also traffic cops when elevators and escalators break and extra eyes for museum security."If you enjoy…•interacting with diverse audiences, age groups and learn ing styles.•working in an often busy and changing environment.If you have…•strong interpersonal and communication skills.•an interest in history and communication.If you can…commit to three shifts a month(weekday Ambassadors)or twice a month(weekend Ambassadors).The museum is open 364 days a year, including weekends and holidays.•handle frequent walking, standing, and talking.To ApplyTo learn more information about the application process, please contact Ruth Shirley.NOTE: Acceptance into the program is subject to successful completion of an interview and background investigation.1.Which one is the responsibility of Museum Ambassadors?A.To receive visitors at the entrance.B.To take full charge of museum security.C.To direct visitors to their exhibitions of interest.D.To help visitors with hands-on demonstrations2.A qualified Museum Ambassador should____________.A.enjoy communicating with peopleB.speak at least two foreign languagesC.have academic background in historymit to working three shifts at weekends3.The author writes this passage mainly to__________.A.introduce volunteer programs for teenagersB.provide special tours to meet different needsC.invite people to visit the American History MuseumD.attract potential applicants for Museum AmbassadorsBAt 74 James Patterson has sold more than 425 million copies of his 200 novels globally, making him one of the highest paid authors in the world. "I do not work for a living. I play for a living. I love doing it," Patterson tells CNBC. But Patterson's road to success didn't happen overnight. He started writing as a side hustle and he faced a lot of rejection before getting his first book published.Patterson grew up in the woods in Newburgh, New York with an insurance salesman father and a schoolteacher mother. Despite having dreams of being a writer, the idea "always seemed presumptuous", Patterson says. But after reading books by James Joyce, "it really turned me on to reading, and then I started writing," he says.After college, Patterson got his first job as a junior copy writer at the advertising agency J. Walter Thompson. While climbing the corporate ladder, Patterson wrote his first book, The Thomas Berryman Number in the mid-70s. The book "got turned down by 31 publishers", Patterson says. But after it was finally published in 1976, "then it won an Edgar Award for best first novel." The Edgar Award, which is named after Edgar Alan Poe, honors the best writers in mystery fiction and non-fiction.Despite publishing his first book at age 26, Patterson didn't have a bestseller until he was 40. "It wasn't like all of a sudden," he says. In fact, Patterson kept his day job for decades and got promoted to CEO of J. Walter Thompson in 1988. During that time, Patterson says he would read well over 100 books a year to help spark his creativity. "I have a huge imagination and I'm constantly asking, what about this? What about that?" he says.Despite his success, Patterson says he doesn't like to give advice, especially about writing. But he credits his own success to his work ethic and passion. "I also don't take myself too seriously," he says. "Yeah, I sell a lot of books, so what?"1.What do we know about James Patterson?A.He produced a bestseller when he was 26.B.He read a lot of books to get source of inspiration.C.He worked as a full-time writer when he was young.D.He got inspiration for his first book when climbing a ladder.2.What does the underlined word "presumptuous" mean in paragraph 2?A.Unrealistic.B.Contradictory.C.Imaginative.D.Inspiring.3.What can we infer about James Patterson from the last paragraph?A.He has sold a lot of books.B.He doesn't take his job seriously.C.He values positive attitudes to work.D.He is unwilling to give advice to readers.4.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.The Secret to Career SuccessB.A Tough Road to a Bestseller WriterC.An Edgar Award WinnerD.A Not-to-be-missed FictionCWhen you're feeling low or even a little depressed, what do you want to do? The answer for most of us is not very much. Our natural response to a bad mood is to rest with our comfort of choice and hibernate(蛰伏) a bit.But according to new science, the best way to fight off the depression is to force yourself to get out there and do something new. You might have to drag yourself off the sofa, but this research shows you'll be happier for the effort.For the study, the research followed the daily movements of 122 study subjects, using the location-tracking features of their phones for three to four months. They also sent subjects regular text messages asking them to report on their mood.The scientists discovered the more people visited new and different locations, the happier they felt both that day and the next. Variety and novelty seem to lift our mood. "We also find that if we feel better today, we're likely to move around and have more novel experiences and have more experiential diversity the following day," study coauthor and NYU psychology professor Catherine Hartley said."These results suggest a reciprocal link between the novel and diverse experiences we have during our daily exploration of our physical environments and our subjective sense of well-being." Hartley commented.This isn't the first time science has linked new experiences with positive brain benefits. Previous studies have shown that new and challenging experiences light up learning centers in the brain.Just as experience has probably taught you, you learn a lot faster when you get outside your comfort zone. If you've been stuck at home a lot lately, it's no shock that you feel lazy. Your brain is missing out on the novelty and exploration it desires. The good news is, if you can force yourself to do something new, you'll feel you can grow smarter.1.According to new science, what should we do to lift our spirits?A.Explore the outside worldB.Have a complete restC.Choose to enjoy our hobbiesD.Stay in the comfort zone2.How did the researchers conduct the study?A.By phoning the subjects.B.By analyzing the subjects' locations.C.By referring to previous relevant studies.D.By tracking the subjects' movements and moods.3."A reciprocal link" in Paragraph 5 means a link that proves _______.A.strong but temporaryB.weak and indirectC.beneficial to each otherD.suitable for each other4.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.Novelty improves learning effectiveness. It's harmful to get stuck at home too long.C.Your brain desires novelty and exploration. .Exploration is linked with positive emotions.DMillions watch the Oscars every year, but I'm always interested in the Razzies(金酸梅奖), which recognize cinematic underachievement. For all the attention given to what we like, what we dislike can be just as important, interesting and empoweringFrench sociologist Pierre Bourdieu saw dislike as snobbery. He saw all judgments of taste, favorable or not, as performances of class. The rich could justify their place, he argued, by claiming to have more refined tastes. Knowing which literature or art to praise could signal to. others their rightful place at the top of society. Oversimplified his theory might be, it is not entirely wrong.Furthermore, dislikes are often used as a way not to stand apart but to fit in. It means learning the unspoken rules of what's OK to like or dislike, and to proclaim those likes or dislikes loudly for others to hear. When some of us swim against the social tide, we might be savvy(精明的)enough to label our likes as "guilty pleasures", which both acknowledges the rules and apologizes for violating them.In my research, though, I found that dislike isn't just a form of snobbery.We interviewed over 200 people, a diverse group in race, age, and social class. All the interviewees tended to actively dislike media content far more when they felt they couldn't escape it. Many people can't choose the radio station that's playing at work, or what's on TV at the bar. Moreover, some of us are subjected to more annoyance than others. Remote controls, for instance, have long been seen as a special right of dads, with women and kids given less power to changethe channel. Everyone turns to media hoping for specific needs to be met, but those who have those needs realized less often are those who might dislike more often.Therefore, speaking about dislikes is an act of resistance—a refusal to allow public space to be conquered by the media content that doesn't connect.Dislike can certainly transform into anger or hate, but it may also take a more playful form. Sometimes we could see people joyfully watch the object of their dislike and offer a commentary of criticism, instead of tuning out and turning off. Why? Reveling in dislike can help regain control in a world that overwhelms everyone with content. Keeping the despised shows at hand rather than avoiding them can help the dislikers speak up in the court of public opinion. Or some might enjoy their dislikes as a way to avoid ruining certain relationships. Many of us can probably relate to the experience of having a friend who insists we watch something against our will.What if, rather than resenting the show or the person, we simply embrace it in all of its embarrassing glory? By all means, pay attention to the advice to "ignore the haters". But a lot can be learned by listening to the dislikers.1.According to Paragraph 3, people label their likes as "guilty pleasures" when they_________.A.follow the mainstreamB.take pride in their tasteC.set up the unspoken rulesD.try to fit into a certain group2.What can we learn from the passage?A.Dislikes can he found mostly among the rich.B.Learning about literature and art is an act of snobbery.C.Expressing dislike helps maintain one's social relationshipsD.Exposure to unwanted media content intensifies people's dislike.3.What does the underlined phrase "Reveling in" in the text probably mean?A.Taking delight inB.Showing concern for.C.Drawing lessons from.D.Establishing connection to4.What message does the author try to convey in this passage?A.We are encouraged to launch debates over hot issues in public.B.Staying away from the haters is a sensible means to avoid trouble.C.Embracing our dislikes can be a way to deal with power imbalanceD.The media should aim to meet the needs of different groups of audience.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

Lopburi for history buffsBypass the tour groups at the ancient city of Ayutthaya and head two hours north of the capital, Bangkok, for a peaceful walk through Thai history. Lopburi, one of Thailand's oldest cities, boasts Khmer-era temples and the uncrowded ruins of King Narai's Palace, which was built in the 1600s. It's also known for the monkeys that gather at Phra Prang Sam Yot temple in the center of town.Ban Krut for beach bumsIn Ban Krut, travelers will find one of the cleanest and quietest stretches of white sandy beach within driving distance of Bangkok. This sleepy seaside community, known mostly by locals, is a five-hour drive or six-hour train trip down the Gulf of Thailand. Don't miss the magnificent Wat Tang Sai, a huge, fairy tale castle-like Buddhist temple.Cave for holiday hikersHiking trails, wetlands and forests make Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park a weekend adventure worthy of topping your Thailand to-do list. The park's crown jewel is the extraordinary Phraya Nakhon Cave. Come early to catch the picturesque chamber flooded with morning sunshine that spotlights the royal pavilion that sits inside. River Kwai for nature loversMost visitors come for the beaches, but the rivers and parks in Thailand's Kanchanaburi province have much to offer. Scenic trails and waterfalls abound in Sai Yok and Erawan national parks. Just two hours from Bangkok is the bridge made famous in the book Bridge over the River Kwai by French author, Pierre Boulle, and the 1957 Academy Award-winning 1957 film adaptation of the same name.

But last June, Walmart told Alaskan fisheries that it would not be buying salmon sourced from fisheries not certified by the Marine Stewardship Council.Now Walmart is caught between two forces–Alaska fisheries and “buy American” enthusiasts who think the company’s first responsibility should be to American industry, and environmentalists who think Walmart should make as strong a commitment to environmentally sustainable industry as possible.But from a broader perspective, this latest noise is an object lesson in why the concept of corporate (公司的) responsibility has shortcomings to begin with. Walmart—like most successful corporations—is pretty good at offering products their customers want at low prices. When it tries to promote broader public goods, like a clean environment, or lower unemployment for veterans, it’s nowhere near as successful. Here’s a few of Walmart’s more notable corporate-responsibility confusion:The Buy-American Debacle: Walmart’s first major corporate responsibility push wasan effort in the 1980s to promote American-made products. But the campaign ran aground (搁浅) after a NBC investigation revealed that the company was actually selling products manufactured in India as “Made American.”The Going Green Campaign: Walmart launched on a sustainability campaign aimed at making the retail giants operations much more environmentally friendly. Though Walmart and the media have done much to raise visibility of these efforts, the actual results have been lacking. According to a recent report from the Institute for Local Self Reliance (ILSR), Walmart’s sustainability campaign is much more focused on making its operations appear green to customers than stopping doing things that would actually help the environment, like reducing emissions.In reality, these examples simply show that one can’t realistically expect corporations to behave in a way that is opposite to making profits. But that doesn’t mean that the goal of fishing sustainability isn’t achievable. It’s just that the corporate structure isn’t our best means of achieving them—the government is. 4.What is the function of the Marine Stewardship Council?A.To advocate sustainable fishing practices. B.To persuade supermarkets to buy its products.C.To solve disagreements between fisheries and supermarkets.D.To guarantee the safety of goods supplied by supermarkets.5.According to the author, Walmart’s corporate responsibility is ________. A.confusing B.heavyC.environmental-friendly D.unsatisfying6.From Paragraph 5, we know ________.A.Walmart’s sustainability campaign worked wellB.Walmart might have profited at the cost of the environmentC.ILSR’s report was part of Walmart’s campaign planD.Walmart had no intention to protect the environment at all7.Who should be mainly responsible for achieving the goals of fishing sustainability? A.The company structure B.WalmartC.The government D.The Marine Stewardship Council【答案解析】 ADBC3 A cloudless Southern California sky looms over the Pro Park Course for the Pro Skate Park Series. Here to compete are some of the top female skaters in the world.The women skaters range in age from early adolescence to early 30s, but in a sport that embraces youth, there is one who stands out. At 8 years old, Sky Brown, would be the youngest skater, male or female, ever to compete at this series.She is known to some — a minor star of the viral age. When her first video was posted to YouTube, Sky initially gained a little internet fame as a premature andlevel-headed 4-year-old — highly intelligent, well-spoken beyond her years, hugely talented, and yet grounded. Four years later, it was announced that she would be competing at Huntington Beach. Still, the question remains: Is she truly ready, or will this be another case where reality comes crashing down hard on all the hype? And then, it turns out to be anything but. Sky goes out and presents one surprise after another. Commentators Neal Hendrix and Chris Pastras are left in awe, “Half of the pros can't do.” The only thing that makes the prodigy look like a kid is her size. In every other regard, she holds her own with skaters 10 and 20 years her senior. Before the competition at Huntington, Sky was a curiosity. After, she is a competitor.Sky's first memory of a skateboard is seeing her father, Stuart, doing a few tricks in front of the family home. “It always looked really fun,” says Sky. “I just kept begging to try it.” Sky progressed quickly, although she never had a formal coach. Somehow she just had the knack. Every movement, every shift in weight, every push and pull of body on board, she absorbed. Then, she did it herself.“You get so close to making it,” she says of her process, “and think you're about to land it, and then it takes you 100 more times.

He simply may not be able to resist. A University of lowa(UI) study found teenagers are far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behaviors. The findings may help explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the long-term pay off of studying.an,anmotivation for them. Even when a behavior is no longer in a teenager's best interest to continue, they will, because the effect of the reward is still there and lastsFor parents,that means limiting distraction (分心的事情)so teenagers can make better choices. Take the homework and social media dilemma: At 9 p.m., shut off everything except a computer that has no access to Facehook or Twitter, the researchers advise. not saying they shouldn't be allowed access toVaidya says. But some help in netting their concentration is necessary for them so they can develop those impulse-control skills.”In their study,Vaidya and co-author Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers are impulsive(冲动的),make bad decisions,and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes(额叶)of their trains are not fully developed. But the UI researchers wondered. whether something more fundamental was going on with adolescents to cause behaviors independent of higher-level reasoning.wanted to try to understand the brain's reward system how it change from chillhood to Says Vaidya, who adds the reward character in the human brain is easier than decision-making. “We've been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and whether there is more to adolescence behavior than anunder-developed frontal lobe,”he adds.For their study ,the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents, aged 13 and 16,and 40 adults, aged 20 and 35 to participate.In the future,researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological (神经学上的)aspects of their results.12.What does the passage mainly tell us?A.The initial rush of texting is less attractive for adolescents than the long-term pay off of studying.B.Always, rewards are attractive to teenagers.C.Resistance can be controlled well by adolescents.D.Getting rewards is the greatest motivation for adolescents to study. 13.Which statement agrees with Vaidya's idea?A.The influence of the reward is weak in adolescents.B.Parents should help children in making decisions.C.Children should have access to the Internet.D.Children need help in refocusing their attention.14.What result does teenagers' brain underdevelopment lead to?A.Doing things after some thought.B.Making good decisions.C.Joining in dangerous actions.D.Escaping risky behavior.15.How did the researchers carry out their study?A.By making a comparison of brain examinations.B.By examining adults’ brain.C.By examining teenage brain.D.By building the train’s reward system.【答案解析】 BDCA5 Why are some people successful and others aren’t? What’s the secret of success? 16.Many of Gladwell’s ideas appear in his social psychology bestsellerOutliers.17. Gladwell thinks that this is just an excuse for not trying… and if you really want to be good at something, you have to work at it. “Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good,” Gladwell writes. “It’s the thing you do that makes you good.”Central to the book is the “10,000-hour rule”. It means that if you want to be among the best in the world, you need to practise something for 10,000 hours. 18. For example, the Beatles played live in Hamburg more than 1,200 times between 1960 and 1964, which is more than 10,000 hours of playing time. And when Microsoft chairman Bill Gates was 13, he was given access to a high school computer (one of the few available in the country), allowing him to practise computer programming for more than (Yes, you guessed it!) 10, 000 hours.19. Take the example of Christopher Langan, who’s mentioned in the book. He’s got an IQ of between 195 and 210 (Albert Einstein’s IQ was estimated to have been between 160 and 180). As a boy at school, Langan was able to take an exam in a foreign language he’d never studied and pass it after just skim-reading a text book for three minutes. However, Langan never graduated from university and worked in labour-intensive jobs his whole life. This proves that intelligence alone will not lead to success—you need hard work, support, finance and opportunities. Gladwell adds, “No one — not rock stars, not professional athletes, not software billionaires, and not even geniuses — ever makes it alone.”20. Even after you’ve put in your 10,000 hours of practice, you still need one other key ingredient — luck. So, you could be the most amazing guitarist in the world, but unless you’re lucky enough to play in front of a record company executive who sees a way of exploiting that talent, you aren’t going to be seeing your name in lights.A.It isn’t just a question of time and support.B.Author Malcolm Gladwell thinks he knows.C.That’s equal to three hours a day for 10 years.D.Of course, many people argue that you can create your own “luck”.E.The popular view is that some of us are born talented and others aren’t.F.The interesting thing is that success has nothing to do with intelligence.G.Someone who’s willing to practise something for 10,000 hours is probably active. 【答案解析】 16—20 BECFA6 Lehrner always wanted to design roller coasters.

One of the most common complaints I hear from families is that they are not close. They may be close in proximity, but still not feel close as a 36_. They may live next door or in the same house, but not feel 37 .Closeness is about 38 . We feel close when we feel 39 , when we feel loved and when we simply enjoy being together. We may live far apart and still feel close, or we may 40 a home yet feel distant.Closeness is a family trait that 41 over time.
