Ⅳ.阅读理解
Mario Capecchi, 70, a scientist at the University of Utah, US, got a bonus after winning the 2007
Nobel Prize for medicine: He learned he has a younger sister.
Capecchi returned to his native Italy last month and met with his halfsister Marlene Bonelli, 69, who
believed Capecchi and her mother had died during World War Ⅱ. It was really more of an introduction;
they were too young to remember when they were separated in the early days of World War Ⅱ.
Capecchi's mother gave birth to Bonelli in 1939, when her son was learning to walk. Lucy Ramberg,
who was in prison for much of the war, handed over the baby girl to friends living in Austria, where
Bonelli still lives.
Bonelli recognized Capecchi's name after he won the Nobel Prize in October and informed the media
in Austria that the famous scientist was her brother. The newspaper Dolomiten sent Capecchi photos of
Bonelli. “Looking at the pictures, it was obviously my sister,” Capecchi said, noting she was very like
his mother.
With the help of an interpreter, they reunited at a hotel. “She doesn't speak English and I don't speak
German, and neither of us speaks Italian, although I can get away with it in a restaurant,” Capecchi said.
The reunion was another dramatic(戏剧性的)turn in Capecchi's life story. Capecchi was separated
from his mother during World War Ⅱ. The two were reunited at the end of the war, when he was 9, and
they moved to the United States. As a child in America, Capecchi started on what became a brilliant
academic career.
文章大意:70 岁的美籍遗传学家马里奥·卡佩基惊喜连连,刚刚喜获 2007 年度诺贝尔医学奖,
又靠诺贝尔奖的“牵线搭桥”,终于与失散 68 年的妹妹在意大利重逢!
1.What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A.How the Nobel Prize Winner's Sister Survived World War Ⅱ
B.Mario Capecchi's Great Success in His Career
C.New Nobel Prize Winner—Mario Capecchi
D.Nobel Prize Winner Reunited with His Sister Lost in World War Ⅱ
答案:D 归纳标题题。纵观全文,主要讲述了诺贝尔奖获得者马里奥·卡佩基靠诺贝尔奖的帮
助,与失散多年的妹妹重逢一事,D 选项概括全面,可作标题。
2.The underlined word“bonus”in the first paragraph probably refers to________.
A.the money given to Mario Capecchi
B.the fame for his achievement
C.the news that his sister is still alive
D.the idea that he wants to look for his sister
答案:C 指代题。根据下文冒号后的解释:He learned he has a younger sister 可推知,此处的
“bonus”指的是他获知自己还有一个在世的妹妹。
3.How did the brother and sister separate from each other?
A.The sister was put in prison.
B.The sister was sent to Austria.
C.The brother moved to America.
D.The brother left Italy with their mom.
答案:B 细节理解题。根据第三段 Lucy Ramberg,... handed over the baby girl to friends living in
Austria...可知,Bonelli 当年是被送给奥地利的朋友了。
4.It can be inferred from the passage that Capecchi moved to America in ________.
A.1938 B.1939
C.1945 D.1947
答案:D 计算题。第一段提到 Capecchi 70 岁,第二段提到 Bonelli 69 岁,第三段提到 Bonelli
出生于 1939 年,由此可推知 Capecchi 生于 1938 年。最后一段说到他九岁时去了美国。经计算可知,
Capecchi 是在 1947 年去的美国。
5.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Mario Capecchi and his sister always knew each other.
B.Mario Capecchi's mother was out of prison finally.
C.Bonelli once reunited with her mother.
D.When Capecchi and his sister were reunited, they could communicate very well.
答案:B 推断理解题。从第一段可知 Mario Capecchi 在获得诺贝尔奖后才得知自己有一个妹
妹,故 A 选项表述有误;C 选项在文中无提及;从倒数第二段描述他们兄妹语言沟通不便可以推断
出 D 选项表述有误;从最后一段第三句话“Mario Capecchi 9 岁时和母亲重逢”可推断 B 选项正确。
The Second Day Date:2015-1-______ Weather:
Victory won't come to me unless I go to it. 胜利是不会向我们走来的,我必须自己走向
胜利。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
People can't survive without food. Long ago, early people couldn't grow
crops, so they had to live by hunting animals and gathering grains. After a tribe(部
落) had lived in an area for some time, its food supply would begin to reduce.
Then the tribe had to move to new hunting grounds where there was more food.
This way of life caused special problems for the tribes. They were forced
to depend on luck, as well as on their hunting skills. If they could find no game,_the whole tribe would be
in danger of starving. And when the hunters had good luck one day, they were not sure to find game the
next time. The tribes moved often because much land was needed to support their people.
As time passed by, people learned that they could grow their food. At first, the women of tribes
collected patches of wild grain. Later, people discovered that they could plant their own seeds. Farming
slowly became a way of life.
As people turned away from hunting to farming, their life changed. When the food supply became
richer and richer, they no longer moved from place to place. The success of their crops depended partly on
the weather, but there were also things they could do to help crops grow.
In the past, a tribe had to travel many miles for food. Now, only a small amount of land was necessary
to feed the whole tribe. The early tribe could grow in size because farming provided a way to feed people.
文章大意:人要生存就离不开食物,我们的祖先最初是靠种植来获取食物吗?阅读本篇了解一
下种植物是如何成为人类一种生存方式的。
1.Why did the early tribes move so often?
A.They enjoyed traveling around.
B.They had to find enough food.
C.Because of the bad weather they did not like to stay in one place.
D.They liked to go hunting everywhere.
答案:B 细节理解题。根据第一段第三、四句 After a tribe had lived in an area for some time, its
food supply would begin to reduce. Then the tribe had to move to new hunting grounds where there was
more food.可知答案为 B。
2.The underlined word “game” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A.游戏 B.比赛
C.野味 D.赌博
答案:C 词义猜测题。根据第二段第二、三句 They were forced to depend on luck, as well as on
their hunting skills. If they could find no game, the whole tribe would be in danger of starving.得知,他们
主要靠幸运活下来,如果找不到野味(猎物),整个部落会处于饿死的危险境地。由前面 hunting 便知
答案为 C。
3.When farming provided enough food to people, ________.
A.the women didn't do any work at all
B.the tribe could grow larger and life became steady
C.they did not move at all
D.they no longer went hunting
答案:B 细节理解题。根据文章最后一句 The early tribe could grow in size because farming
provided a way to feed people.便知 B 项内容正确。
4.From the passage we can infer that ________.
A.early tribes liked moving from place to place
B.hunting was interesting in early days
C.the change from hunting to farming happened very quickly
D.life was hard and unsteady for early tribes
答案:D 推理判断题。从第一段中得知,“一个部落在某一地区居住一段时间后,食物量不
断减少,该部落不得不搬到有更多食物的地方”;从第二段中得知,“他们主要靠幸运活下来,如
果找不到野味(猎物),整个部落会处于饿死的危险境地”。因此对早期的种族来说,生活是艰辛的,
不稳定的。

Ⅳ.完形填空

文章大意:招聘时,用人单位是看重大学的名气还是更注重专业技能呢?阅读本篇,感受一个
农业大学毕业生的困惑吧!
1.A.lowly B.highly
C.little D.greatly
答案:B 固定搭配题。联系全文我们可以知道,人们对农业大学,尤其是非名牌农业大学并
不看重,空前的 few 决定了其他答案不能入选。think highly of 看重……。
2.A.wellknown B.beautiful
C. important D.skillful
答案:A 逻辑推理题,从第三段中的“Sorry,if you had graduated from Peking University,we
would take you on.”我们得知,招聘者看重的是大学的名气,而不是技能的重要性。从全文来看可
排除其他选项。
3.A.greater B.less
C.fewer D.more
答案:D 逻辑推理题。本空承接上句而来,“很少有人看得起农业大学,尤其是非名牌农业
大学”,因此我们大学的毕业生找工作更加困难。A、C 不能修饰形容词比较级。B 项与语意相反。
4.A.accept B.find
C.change D.follow
答案:B 固定搭配题。find a job 意思是“找工作”。通读全文,我们可以知道,作者谈论的
是大学生找工作难的问题,而不是接受工作或改变工作,因此 A、C 不合句意。
5.A.study B.understand
C.change D.follow
答案:A 固定搭配题。作者在此将农业大学与有着令人尊敬的专业的著名大学相比。从空后
的 respected subjects 可得此答案提示。
6.A.need B.wish
C.expect D.hope
答案:C 词义辨析题。“预计我们大学的大多数毕业生都会被冷漠对待”,从下文一名大学
毕业生的求职经历,作者作出如此预测,其他选项不合句意。
7.A.teacher B.graduate
C.parent D.professor
答案:B 词汇复现题。从后文“Which university did you graduate from?When the graduate...”
我们得知,去求职的是一名毕业生。本文讨论的是非名牌、非热门专业大学生就业难的问题,因此
A、C、D 不合句意。
8.A.held B.built
C.had D.offered
答案:A 固定搭配题。“在广州举办的人才招聘会”。held 在这里为过去分词作定语,意思
是“举办”。B、D 与人才交流会不能连用。have 也有“举办”的意思,但不能用于被动结构。
9.A.give B.share
C.let D.hand
答案:D 固定搭配题。联系上下文我们可以得知,这名毕业生要参加求职面试,因此他首先
要递交(hand in)他的面试推荐表。give in 意思是“屈服,投降”;share in 意思是“分担”;let in
意思是“让……进入”,都不符合句意。
10.A.time B.turn
C.chance D.interview
答案:B 逻辑推理题。由前文的 He joined a queue...我们知道,他是站在求职者的队伍中排队
等候,因此作者说“当轮到他时”。
11.A.address B.telephone
C.name D.number
答案:C 前后照应题。从后文“What?I've never heard of that university.”我们得知,这名毕
业生告诉他的是他们学校的校名,而不是地址或电话。
12.A.with B.away
C.up D.without
答案:D 词义辨析题。他甚至没有看一眼推荐表。从空后的 even 可以得到此答案提示。A 项
与语意相反,B、C 两项都是副词,后面不能接 doing 作宾语。
13.A.books B.subjects
C.request D.knowledge
答案:D 前后照应题。按照常规,面试者应该注重学生的技能和学识。
14.A.pity B.surprised
C.angry D.sorry
答案:C 背景常识题。听了这番话,生气是正常的。
15.A.really B.certainly
C.finally D.proudly
答案:A 逻辑推理题。由空后问句可知,作者想知道面试者想得到的究竟是什么。
16.A.or B.and
C.but D.so
答案:A 逻辑推理题。这里表示选择。
17.A.much B.some
C.many D.most
答案:B 逻辑推理题。要得到本空的答案,我们首先要弄明白作者的态度:作者对面试者拒
绝农业大学的毕业生感到极度气愤。他认为农业大学的毕业生并不比名牌大学的毕业生能力差。因
此他认为,从总体上来说,只有少数的农业大学毕业生不如名牌大学的毕业生。C、D 有较大干扰
性。但根据作者的态度来看都不如 B 合适。
18.A.explain B.mean
C.say D.translate
答案:B 前后照应题。弄明白上空的答案此题便随之迎刃而解。some students 并不能代表 all of
us。say 的主语一般是人。
19.A.practical B.popular
C.lucky D.sure
答案:D 固定搭配题。“...we are going to try to do as well as those from key universities.”是作者
确信的内容。
20.A.impress B.warn
C.prove D.disappoint
答案:A 固定搭配题。“我们要用我们的技能给雇主留下深刻印象。”C 项有一定干扰性,
空后的 the employers 决定了 C 项不正确;impress sb.意思是“给某人留下深刻印象”。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected means of handling the difficult situations in our
lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying“no”, criticizing, getting the other
fellow to do what you want without losing his face. For some jobs, it's the only tool that can succeed. It is a
way to discuss subjects so sensitively that a serious dialogue may start a quarrel. For example, many
believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in
any other forum.
Humor is often the best way to keep a small misunderstanding from escalating into a big deal.
Recently a neighbor of mine had a quarrel with his wife as she drove him to the airport. Airborne, he felt
miserable, and he knew she did, too. Two hours after she returned home, she received a long distance
phone call. “Person to person for Mrs. an aPologize , ”intoned the operator.“That's spelled ‘P’as
in...”. In a twinkling, the whole day changed from grim to lovely at both ends of the wire.
An English hostess with a quick wit was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guests whom
she hoped to enlist in a major charity drive. Austerity(节俭)was a fashion in England at the time, and she
had asked her children to serve the meal. She knew that anything could happen and it did, just as her son,
with the studied concentration of a tightrope walker, brought in a large roast turkey. He successfully
elbowed the swinging dining room door, but the backswing threw the bird onto the dining room floor.
The boy stood rooted; guests stared at their plates. Moving only her head the hostess smiled at her
son,“No harm, Daniel,” she said.“Just pick him up and take him back to the kitchen”,she enunciated
clearly so he would think about what she was saying, “and bring in the other one.”
A wink and a one liner instantly changed the dinner from a red faced embarrassment to a conspiracy
of fun.
1.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Humor is the key to success in our work and our lives.
B.Humor enables us to cope with difficult situations effectively.
C.Humor is the only best way to criticize someone without losing his face.
D.Humor makes fun of difficult situations.
答案:B 主旨大意题。从文章结构看,作者在首段中就提出了本文的中心论点,而其后的段
落都是围绕中心论点加以说明。
2.Which of the following is NOT stated in the passage?
A.Comedians on TV are believed to have done a lot in making people more tolerant of racial and
religious differences.
B.To make up differences, humor is a most acceptable as well as a most effective means.
C . People often turn to humorous ways when meeting with difficult situations because of its
effectiveness.
D.Only by adopting the means of humor can one succeed in some jobs.
答案:C 推理判断题。选项 A、D 内容分别在第一段的第五句和第三句中,B 项意思和第一
段所讲的意思相同。
3.What caused the roast turkey to drop onto the floor?
A.The backward movement of the door.
B.The son's hasty behavior.
C.Someone happened to be at the door.
D.The bird raised by the family.
答案:A 细节理解题。由第三段的最后一句可知“他成功地用肘部推开了门,但是复位的门
却将火鸡打到了地上”。故选 A。
4.By saying“...and bring in the other one.”, the hostess meant that________.
A.the son had to cook another turkey for the guests
B.she already had made more than one turkey ready for the dinner
C.some other dish would be served instead of a turkey
D.the son could serve the same turkey after it was cleaned
答案:C 推理判断题。文中并未提及是否有第二只火鸡,但是这里含有幽默的意思,同时联
系文章最后一段的叙述,可推知女主人的意思是让她的孩子把火鸡拿到厨房,用其他饭菜招待客人。
5.What do you think would probably be the result if the hostess got angry and scolded the son?
A.It would make the embarrassing situation worse.
B.The son would refuse to serve the guests any more.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
(2014·浙江,B 篇)Here is some mustknow information from a handbook on how people behave in
doing business in some countries.
In Brazil
Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to
touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek
kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to
be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there's no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil.
Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring facetoface
communication over mails or phone calls.
In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow.
Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So
be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fastpaced. Singaporeans are
direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is
respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing
outright with someone with a higher rank.
In the United Arab Emirates
In the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles.
The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should
cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and
down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at
restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are
onetoone, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural
tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.
In Switzerland
The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private
lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that
comes from a deep respect for others' time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe.
They also have clear structure in their companies. Higherups make the final decisions, even if others
might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their
hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.
文章大意:本文是应用文。常言道,入乡随俗,入国问禁。因为文化不同,不同的国家有不同
的礼仪,本文讲述了做生意时容易出错的几个国家。
1.The passage is mainly about ________.
A.communication types
B.the workplace atmosphere
C.customs and social manners
D.living conditions and standards
答案:C 主旨大意题。从文章开始的主旨句“...on how people behave in doing business in some
countries”可以知道,本文讲述的是在一些国家做生意时要注意的风俗习惯。A 项有一定干扰性,从
communication types 看,A 项说的是交流类型,因此不合适。
2.Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?
A.They put efficiency in the first place.
B.They dislike facetoface communication.
C.They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.
D.They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.
答案:D 细节理解题。从原文“In Singapore”部分的“For example, people avoid disagreeing
outright with someone of a higher rank”可以知道,新加坡人不与老板争吵,是因为他们避免与比自己
职位高的人出现分歧。
3.In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?
A.When greeting seniors.
B.When meeting the host alone.
C.When attending a presentation.
D.When dining with business partners.
答案:B 细节理解题。由原文中“In the United Arab Emirates”部分中的“When meetings are
onetoone, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse”可以知道,在阿联酋,如果你单独与主人
见面,应该拒绝喝咖啡。本题是直接细节题,误选其他选项,是因为对原文细节理解的偏差。
4.In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?
A.In Brazil.
B.In Singapore.
C.In the United Arab Emirate.
D.In Switzerland.
答案:D 细节理解题。从“In Switzerland”部分的倒数第三句话“They also keep their hands visible at
the table and their elbows off the table”可以知道,在瑞士,人们要把手放到桌子上。

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。
A
A Chinese saying goes: Women can hold up half of the sky. Similarly, a large
number of women in Western European countries wish that they were born men.
The number is said as high as 60% in Germany.
“Women often wish that they had the same chance as men have, and believe
it is still men's world,” said Dr James Holden, one of the scientists who did the study.
Anne Harper has a very good job for an international oil company. She also believes in “Women's
Liberation(解放)”.
“I don't wish that I were a man,” she says. “And I don't think many women do. But I do wish that
people would stop looking down upon us women. At work, for example, we often do the work that men do
but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs that are usually the best ones and open only to men. If you're a
man, you have a much better chance of leading an exciting life. How many women pilots are there... or
engineers or scientists?”

Marie was born on November 7, 1867, in Poland. Unfortunately, the
family was poor. In fact, Marie worked for six years to support her elder sister
Bronya. When Bronya finished medicine at the Sorbonne in Paris in 1891,
24yearold Marie went to Paris to begin her own education.
In July 1893, Marie passed her physics examination first in her class at
university. At this time, she met Pierre Curie, a young scientist. Marie and Pierre
discovered that they had much in common. They both believed that science was the most important part of
their lives. They didn't care about money or about being comfortable. They fell in love, and got married on
July 26, 1895. Marie and Pierre Curie were very happy. They discussed their work and the latest scientific
events, such as the discovery of X rays. Marie was interested in this research, and began to look for
unknown elements that had such rays. Pierre Curie stopped his own research in order to help Marie with
her work. He realized that she was about to make an important discovery.
In 1898, the Curies found two new elements that gave off radiation. They named these elements
polonium and radium. In those days, no one knew that such radioactive materials were dangerous. In fact,
Marie Curie created the word “radioactive” to describe these materials. They kept working. Finally, in
1902, they proved the existence of radium.
On June 25, 1903, Marie became the first woman to receive the doctor's degree of science from the
Sorbonne. Then, in 1903, the Academy of Science at Stockholm, Sweden awarded the Nobel Prize for
physics to Marie and Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerei for their discoveries in radioactivity.
On a rainy day in April, 1906, Pierre was killed in a street accident. Marie was heartbroken, but she
continued working. Then, in 1910, she isolated radium. It was the biggest accomplishment of Marie
Curie's career. In 1911, she received the Nobel Prize again, for chemistry. She was the first woman to
receive the Nobel Prize, and the first person to receive it a second time.
文章大意:她是镭元素的发现者,她曾两次获得诺贝尔奖,她就是伟大的女科学家——居里夫
人。

答案:B 推理判断题。根据第一段和第二段可知,Marie Curie 在巴黎上的大学。由此可推断,
她在波兰上完了中学。
26.Pierre Curie stopped his own research because ________.
A.he had no money to carry out his own research
B.he was suffering from a severe disease
C.he realized that Marie Curie was closer to an important scientific discovery

答案:C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句可知,Pierre Curie 意识到妻子将有重大发现,因
此他停下自己的研究去帮助她。
27.It took the Curies 4 years to ________.

Ryan Howes, a clinical psychologist from California, says “Forgiveness is a sensitive act that can feel
like it opens us up to more pain. But we need to have a way to process and let go of the effects of injury, or
we risk serious physical and emotional consequences.”
People who forgive tend to have better relationships, feel happier and more optimistic, and overall,
enjoy better psychological wellbeing.__36__ It's a difficult process.
There's no single guidebook for forgiveness, though several experts sell their own methods.
Howes suggests focusing on four elements:
Express the emotion. Let yourself feel hurt and angry. Express it to the person who made you feel that
way.__37__ Write a letter; you don't need to send it. Shout your emotions at the top of your lungs while
you're in the car, alone, with the windows down.
__38__ We want explanations ?even if we don't agree with them. “Was it a misunderstanding?
Were you mad at me? Some sort of cognitive framework (认知框架) is necessary, even if you don't like
the reason.”
Rebuild safety.__39__ That might mean an apology, reassurance from the person in question, distance
or stronger boundaries.
Let go. Perhaps it's the hardest part: making a conscious decision not to hold a grudge (怨恨).
If you're in a relationship, this means not bringing up past wrongs. By letting go, you give up your
role as the victim and become equals again.__40__
A.Otherwise, talk to a friend or even an empty chair.
B.Control your feelings.
C.Understand why.
D.Before you forgive, you need to feel reasonably sure that the act won't reoccur.
E.Still, no one ever said forgiveness was easy.
F.It's a promise to yourself to stop feeling hurt and to fully move on.
G.You may feel helpless, or like life is meaningless.
答案:本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了原谅的 4 个因素。
36.E 根据后文是 It's a difficult process 可知,这里的 difficult 和 E 中的 no easy 是同义表达。
故选 E。
37.A 根据前文 Express it to the person who made you feel that way 可知,这里以 a friend or an
empty chair 作为自己的发泄对象,发泄自己的愤怒。
38.C 根据后文中的几个连续的问号可知是理解为什么的问题。故选 C。
39 . D 根 据 后 文 中 的 That might mean an apology, reassurance from the person in question,
distance or stronger boundaries.可知 D 正确。
40.F 根据前文 By letting go, you give up your role as the victim and become equals again.可知,
通过放松,你自己放弃牺牲品的角色,使自己和对方成为平等的地位。故选 F。

A
Several hundred strangers received “love letters” from a young man on the street. The
letter was written and given out by Yang Yang,who asked passersby,as he handed them the
notes,“Do you suffer from pressure?”He was a student majoring in human resources at
Chongqing University of Science and Technology,who hoped to show his disappointment
with job hunting.
Yang's story has caught media attention perhaps because it is similar to those of millions
of recent graduates seeking jobs and struggling for survival in the country's wealthiest cities.
They have diplomas,rather than professional skills,and come to big cities in hopes of better
lives,only to find lowpaying jobs and poor living conditions.
They are China's “ant tribe(蚁族)”,a term coined by sociologist Lian Si from Peking
University in his 2009 book,Ant Tribe. “They're so similar to ants. They share small and
narrow living areas. They're intelligent and hardworking,yet nameless and underpaid. ”
The term also speaks to their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the jungle—only
the strongest survive.
A survey in Lian's another book published this year,Ant Tribe Ⅱ,found nearly 30
percent of “ants” are graduates of famous universities—almost three times last year's
percentage. Most had degrees in popular majors. In addition,7. 2 percent of “ants” have at
least a master's degree compared to 1. 6 percent in 2009.
An “ant's” average monthly salary is 1,904 yuan,with about 64 percent of them earning
less than 2,000 yuan a month.
Another survey in the 2010 Annual Report on the Development of Chinese Talent found
more than 1 million “ants” live in big cities.
“Most ants are from rural families or small towns,and their experiences in ordinary
universities didn't arm them well enough to fight with competitors in big cities' employment
markets. ” Professor Zhang Ming at Renmin University of China said.
The “ant tribe's” embarrassing living situations have become a serious social problem,
and the government should develop smaller cities to attract more graduates from big cities,
Zhang believed.
However, “ants” expect more study and training opportunities in big cities,which keeps
them positive despite their situations.
56.Yang's story is introduced in order to ________.
A.analyze graduates' difficulties in finding jobs
B.lead to the topic of the article— “ant tribe”
C.tell readers a story about those big cities
D.show a clever way of dealing with pressure
答案 B [推理判断题。文章用这个年轻人的故事反映出了就业的艰难,从而导入
“蚁族”这个中心话题。]
57.The “ants” fail to find highpaying jobs mainly because ________.
A.they have no diplomas from good universities
B.they do not have necessary professional skills
C.their majors do not meet the needs of society
D.those from rural areas are not treated equally
答案 B [细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句话可知答案。]
58.Professor Zhang thought “ants” problems could be solved by ________.
A.creating more jobs for graduates in big cities
B.developing smaller cities to attract graduates
C.sending graduates to rural areas and small towns
D.training graduates to improve their ability
答案 B [细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段的内容可知,张教授认为解决问题的
方法是发展比较小的城市来吸引毕业生。]
59.By writing this article,the author mainly means to show ________.
A.despite better educations,“ants” are still struggling
B.despite difficulties,“ants” have a promising future
C.better education,better job opportunities
D.Ant Tribe is a good book to help understand today's China
答案 A [目的意图题。作者通过这篇文章讲述了现阶段“蚁族”大学毕业生在社会
上“挣扎”的生活状态。]

What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher ? I think the following would be
generally accepted.
Firstly,the teacher's personality should be lively and attractive. This does not rule out
people who are plainlooking,or even ugly,because many such people have great personal
charm. __71__.
Secondly,it is not merely desirable but essential for a teacher to have a capacity for
sympathy,a capacity to understand the minds and feelings of children. __72__—not of what
is wrong,but of the weaknesses and immaturity of children,which cause them to make
mistakes.
Thirdly,I hold it essential for a teacher to be both intellectually and morally honest. This
means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths and limitations , and will have
thought about and decided upon the moral principles by which his life shall be guided.
__73__. That is part of the technique of teaching,which demands that every now and then a
teacher should be able to put on an act—to enliven(使生动)a lesson,correct a fault,or award
praise.
A teacher must be capable of infinite patience. __74__,for we are none of us born like
that.
Finally,I think a teacher should have the kind of mind which always wants to go on
learning. __75__;there is always something more to learn about. There are three principal
objects of study : the subjects which the teacher is teaching ; the methods by which the
subjects can best be taught to the particular pupils in the classes he is teaching ; most
importantly,the children,young people,or adults to whom the subjects are to be taught.
A.This,I may say,is largely a matter of selfdiscipline and selftraining
B.Closely related to this is the capacity to be tolerant
C. Teaching is a job at which one will never be perfect
D.Children,especially young children,live in a world that is rather larger than life
E.There is no contradiction (自相矛盾)in my going on to say that a teacher should be a
bit of an actor
F.But it does rule out such types as the overexcitable,sad,cold,and frustrated
G.There are two fundamental principles of British education today
答案 71. F 72. B 73. E 74. A 75. C
The Sixteenth Day Date:2015-2-______ Weather:
All things in their being are good for something. 天生我才必有用。
The research carried out by the University of Bari in Italy could help prove hospitals
who are accused of wasting money on art and decoration as it suggests a pleasant
environment helps patients ease discomfort and pain.
A team headed by Professor Marina de Tommaso at the Neurophysiopathology Pain
Unit asked a group of men and women to pick the 20 paintings they considered most ugly
and most beautiful from a selection of 300 works by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and
Sandro Botticelli. They were then asked to look at either the beautiful paintings,or the ugly
paintings,or a blank panel while the team zapped(照射)a short laser pulse at their hand,
creating a sensation as if they had been stuck by a pin. The subjects rated the pain as being a
third less intense while they were viewing the beautiful paintings , compared with when
looking at the ugly paintings or the blank panel. Electrodes measuring the brain's electrical
activity also confirmed a reduced response to the pain when the subject looked at beautiful
paintings.
While distractions,such as music,are known to reduce pain in hospital patients,Prof de
Tommaso says this is the first result to show that beauty plays a part.
The findings,reported in New Scientist,also go a long way to show that beautiful
surroundings could aid the healing process.
“Hospitals have been designed to be functional,but we think that their artistic aspects
should be taken into account , too , ” said the neurologist. “Beauty obviously offers a
distraction that ugly paintings do not. But at least there is no suggestion that ugly
surroundings make the pain worse. I think these results show that more research is needed
into the field how a beautiful environment can alleviate suffering. ”
Pictures they liked included Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh and Botticelli's Birth of
Venus. Pictures they found ugly included works by Pablo Picasso,the Italian 20th century
artist Anonio Bueno and Columbian Fernando Botero. “These people were not art experts so
some of the pictures they found ugly would be considered masterpieces by the art world,”
said Prof de Tommaso.
【解题导语】 意大利巴里大学日前开展的一项研究表明,舒适愉悦的环境有助于减轻
病人的痛苦。这一发现有力地驳斥了认为医院不应该把钱浪费在艺术品装饰上的说法。
研究人员相信新的研究会对患者起到新的治疗作用。
64.The underlined word “alleviate” in the 5th paragraph probably means “______”.
A.cure B.ease C.improve D.kill
答案 B [词义猜测题。根据文章的第一段最后一句 as it suggests a pleasant
environment helps patients ease discomfort and pain可以得出本题的答案为ease(缓解,
减轻),而不是“治愈”“消灭”或“增加”。]
65.How many artists have been mentioned in the passage?
A.4. B.5. C.6. D.7.
答案 C [数字计算题。本文提到的艺术家有 Leonardo da Vinci,Sandro Botticelli,
Vincent Van Gogh,Pablo Picasso,Anonio Bueno,Columbian Fernando Botero 六人。]
66.From the last paragraph,we know that________.
A.some artists' paintings were beautiful,so they were masterpieces
B.only art experts could judge they were masterpieces or not,though ugly
C.the artists mentioned above were not really art masters
D.some of them were art masters,while others were not
答案 B [推理判断题。本段的最后一句的意思为:这些人不是艺术家,所以一些
他们认为难看的作品其实都是世界名作。]
67.Which of the following is the suitable title for the passage?
A.Beautiful surroundings can ease pain
B.Ugly paintings could be masterpieces
C.More research should be done in the field
D.Latest environmental research
答案 A [主旨大意题。根据全文内容和研究结果可知,本题答案为 A。B、C 只
是研究结果中的一部分,不能概括全文。D 的范围过大。]

We are familiar with an old saying that “Clothes make the man” , which means
goodlooking outfits may possibly make a person better respected and look more like a true
gentleman. __71__ Naturally,he may be well respected and gracefully treated even though
he doesn't seem so respectable as others imagined. Instead,if a man is poorly or commonly
dressed,he can't avoid being looked down upon and unfairly treated,__72__ As far as these
people are concerned , what one wears is taken as an essential signal of status and an
expression of characteristics. Consequently,clothes do seem to help make a good impression
on others,and gain more respect.
__73__ I think the good impression one leaves on others based on clothes doesn't last
long. Only good internal quality and beauty will impress people forever and never fade.
__74__ On the contrary,when people who are fascinated by a person's clothes eventually
find out that he is an undesirable person,they would think he is pretentious and may even
treat him with contempt(蔑视).On top of this,people who attach too much importance to
clothes would waste their time and money on it. Besides,it adversely affects their effort on
the things that really matter.
In summary,__75__. Nothing can count more than good internal quality in building up
the man. Therefore only one's internal beauty and knowledge are more decisive of a person's
value.
A.clothes do help in making an initial image,but do not make the man.
B.As a result,all the people spare no money to buy expensive fine clothes.
C.Clothes just make a man look better but will in no sense make a better person.
D.But I have a different view on this issue.
E.Thus,a man should be always dressed like a gentleman.
F.for many people judge others only by the way they dress.
G.If a man is well dressed,he will probably gain more confidence and dignity.
71.G [从下文的信息“Instead,if a man is poorly or commonly dressed,he can't
avoid being looked down upon and unfairly treated”可看出,空中的句子与此句为意义
相反的两个排比句,也应该以 If 开头,因此选 G 项。]
72.F [从前边标号是逗号可知,只可能在 A 和 F 两项中选择,又因为前边谈
的是穿着不好会被看不起,遭到不公平对待,所以此空中应该用 for 引导的并列分
句说明原因。]
73.D [从后边一句的意思来看,作者对穿着的看法与第一段提到的人们的普遍
看法恰恰相反,所以此空中的句子应该由转折连词 But 引导,故选 D。]
74.C [因为前边说的是只有内在的素质和美会给人留下永久的印象,永不“褪
色”,所以空中的句子应该说的是衣服只是一种外在的美,不会使一个人素质更高,
这就与后边的“On the contrary”相吻合。]
75.A [此处是作者对前面论述的总结,故 A 项最佳。]

【参考范文】
A sense of humor is considered to be one of the most important human qualities which
improve our life in different ways. Firstly,at school,a humorous teacher can help students
focus their attention very easily,and the students will become more active and creative when
experiencing the joy of learning. Secondly,humor has a positive effect on our health. It's said
that laughter is the best medicine. Thirdly,humor helps us remove stress and have a positive
attitude toward life. Finally , I believe humor can be a powerful and delightful way to
establish close friendships with people.
编后记:理想像什么?有人说,理想无影无形,无色无味,什么也不
像。我说,理想像满天繁星,驱散夜空的黑暗;理想像猎猎劲风,鼓起生
命的风帆;理想像灰姑娘的水晶鞋,展现生命的光华;理想像展翅高翔的
海燕,呼唤着生命风暴的更加猛烈。对于今天的我们来说,理想更像高悬
天际的启明星,指引我们攻坚克难,占领人生的制高点。
祝愿同学们在新学期学习进步,快乐成长!家长们工作顺利,身体健康。
