My memories take me straight back to the days when I worked for John W．Rogers. While in college, I worked as an intern (实习生) at Ariel Investments. As the youngest girl of six kids from a single mom, I had very little knowledge of the business world. When I graduated, I decided to return to the company to improve myself. At the age of 22, my perspective was greatly influenced by lunching with the company's founder and then president, John W. Rogers. He told me that I would often find myself in the company of rich and successful people with big titles, lots of degrees and lots of experience. And yet, my ideas could still be as good or even better, he said. This early advice became the guiding force that has helped me throughout my entire career. When I was starting out, I thought my inexperience was holding me back, but John said that it was a good thing. He told me that being inexperienced means that you have a fresh point of view. As my tutor, John encouraged me to be brave. As my boss, he took some giant leaps of faith to support me. Because of our first lunch and the years of support that followed, I never thought twice about speaking up, raising my hand or taking a seat at the table. Staying in the background was never a choice. But John's advice came with one important warning. I needed to control my attitude. It's one thing to be firm but quite another to be rude. Similarly, there is a fine line between confidence and overconfidence. With that in mind, I have had to learn to balance the way I act around others. As someone once told me, “the goal is to be non­threatened and non­threatening at the same time.” 4．What can we learn about the author from the text? A．She went to Ariel Investments after graduation for practice. B．She made her voice heard with encouragement from her boss. C．Her tough childhood had a negative effect on her work. D．Her performance during internship was highly praised in public. 5．Due to John W. Rogers' advice, the author________． A．learned to strike a balance between work and life B．no longer felt lost and became aware of her own value C．contributed her ideas only after listening to others' D．went to a different company to display her talent 6．Who would probably benefit most from this article? A．Company bosses. B．Experienced teammates. C．Business consultants. D．Those new to a job. 7．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Encourage Your Employees to Grow B．Keep Your Attitude under Control C．Let Your Success Be Your Noise D．Live a Life with a High Goal 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为实习生时，深受公司的创始人、董事长John W. Rogers的影响，John W. Rogers鼓励作者要敢于思考、发表自己的看法，同时也教导作者要“有锋芒却不伤人”。 4．B　解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中“As my tutor, John encouraged me to be brave.”和“Because of our first lunch and the years of support ... speaking up, raising my hand or taking a seat at the table.”可知，正是John W.

Rogers给她指导，John告诉她新人的优势并鼓励她要勇敢，而这些对于刚入职场的人而言都是非常好的工作经验，因此这篇文章会让职场新手获益良多。故选D。 7．B　解析：标题概括题。根据第四段中“But John's advice came with one important warning. I needed to control my attitude.”和“With that in mind, I have had to learn to balance the way I act around ... at the same time.’”可推知，作者从John的话和自己的经历中懂得了要平衡自信与自负之间的关系，而且曾经有人告诉作者“要有锋芒，但也不要伤人”，即能控制好自己的态度。故B项适合作文章标题。 C Looking back is a wonderful thing. It allows you to see what has led you here and, hopefully, how society has changed and improved. Take, for instance, my career goal. First, I wanted, in 1999, to be a “farmer”， soon archaeologist, then driving instructor and somewhere along the way, footballer. I had grown up in a football loving family. I remember the exact moment when I said “I'm sad I can't be a footballer” while watching the game with Dad as a pre­teen. He asked why not. “Because I'm not a boy.” He immediately responded, “You can, if you want to.” “Yeah, I suppose so，” I sighed, “but no one watches women's football.” Looking back, I can see exactly why I felt like that. At school, there was an unwritten rule that sports like hockey and netball were “girl” sports and rugby and football were for the boys. I'd never seen a women's football match on TV. You see, you can't be what you can't see, and lack of representation leads, at best, to misunderstanding, and at worst, fear and negative opinions. Today, the Lionesses will take on Scotland in the World Cup, and people across the world will tune in—over 950，000 tickets have been sold so far. But, although women's football is one of FIFA's best investments—with a pound for pound return, the majority of female players are earning under a fair wage. Some argue that's because viewing statistics are lower than those of men's, but the rise in support shows the demand is there. Hopefully, more investment will push female football forward. Today, I'll be cheering on the Lionesses, because it'll mean talented, skillful female footballers being broadcast into millions of homes and maybe, just maybe, a little girl believing that she can also be a Lioness one day. 8．Which of the following best describes the author's career goals? A．Realistic.　　　　　　 B．Changeable. C．Consistent. D．Long­sought. 9．Why didn't the author believe she could be a footballer? A．She was not talented enough. B．People lost faith in women's football. C．Girls were forbidden to play football. D．She had no example to follow. 10．What can we know about women's football from Paragraph 5? A．It's better paid than men's. B．It is increasingly popular. C．It has no market demand. D．It is not profitable. 11．What does the text mainly want to tell us? A．Society advances with time. B．Women deserve equal rights. C．Each goal is worth pursuing. D．Hard work always pays off. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过讲述自己职业目标的转变及女子足球运动今昔情况的对比，充分说明了社会是与时俱进的。 8．B　解析：细节理解题。从第二段中的“First, I wanted, in 1999, to be a ‘farmer’， soon archaeologist, then driving instructor and somewhere along the way, footballer.”可知，作者的职业目标是变化的。 9．D　解析：推理判断题。根据第四段可知，作者认为她不能成为足球队员的原因在于她没有可以追随效仿的榜样。 10．B　解析：推理判断题。根据第五段可推知，女子足球运动员们的待遇不及男足运动员们，但公众对女子足球的支持率上升表明这种运动越来越受公众欢迎。 11．A　解析：主旨大意题。文章首段中的“how society has changed and improved”提到，社会是如何改变和进步的。下文作者谈到自己职业目标的转换，最终提到女子足球运动今昔情况的对比，充分说明了社会是与时俱进的。 D The days of having to carry a phone charger everywhere could soon be over. Michigan researchers have revealed a major breakthrough in harvesting energy from human motion. They say it could lead to smartphones powered for a week by the motion of a swipe(重击)． Michigan State University's low­cost device, known as a nanogenerator, has already been tested. Scientists successfully operated an LCD touch screen, a bank of 20 LED lights and a flexible keyboard, all with a simple touching or pressing motion and without the aid of a battery. The groundbreaking findings, published in the journal Nano Energy, suggest “We're on the path towards wearable devices powered by human motion，” said Nelson Sepulveda, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and lead researcher of the project. “What I foresee, relatively soon, is the capability of not having to charge your cell phone for an entire week, for example, because that energy will be produced by your movement，” said Sepulveda, whose research is funded by the National Science Foundation. Electrical energy is created when the device is compressed by human motion. The completed device is as thin as a sheet of paper. The device used to power the LED lights was palm­sized, while the device used to power the touch screen was as small as a finger. Advantages such as being lightweight, flexible and low­cost could make it a promising and alternative method in the field of Mechanical­energy harvesting. The device also becomes more powerful when folded. Sepulveda said, “You can start with a large device, but when you fold it once, and again, and again, it's much smaller and has more energy. Now it may be small enough to put in a specially made heel of your shoe so it creates power each time your heel strikes the ground.” Sepulveda and his team are also developing technology that would transmit the power generated by the heel strike to, say, a wireless headset. 12．What does the underlined word “device” in the second paragraph probably refer to? A．A piece of equipment. B．A special kind of smartphone. C．A touch screen. D．A flexible keyboard. 13．What can we learn about Nelson Sepulveda in the passage? A．He works as a journalist writing for Nano Energy. B．He plays a major role in the project of the nanogenerator. C．He invented a type of battery­free smartphone. D．He collects funds for the National Science Foundation. 14．What can we learn about the nanogenerator from the passage? A．It becomes more powerful when kept flat. B．It has already come into market in the US. C．It is lightweight and flexible though expensive. D．It makes it possible to produce power by walking. 15．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To persuade people to buy the device. B．To bring in a new way to save energy. C．To introduce a breakthrough in science. D．To honor Nelson Sepulveda for his contributions. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了密歇根的研究人员在科学上取得了一项重大突破。 12．A　解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句可知，密歇根州立大学被称为纳米发电机的低成本设备已通过测试。所以画线词的意思应该是“一种设备”，与A选项意思一致，故选A。 13．B　解析：推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句中的“Nelson Sepulveda, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and lead researcher of the project”可知，Nelson Sepulveda在纳米发电机的项目中起着重要的作用。故选B。 14．D　解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“We're on the path towards wearable devices powered by human motion (我们正在走向可穿戴设备，由人体运动来驱动)”可知，通过步行来生产动力已变成可能。故选D。 15．C　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，随身携带手机充电器的日子可能即将过去。密歇根的研究人员取得了一项重大突破， 可从人体运动中收集能量。研究人员称，从刷手机这一动作中获取的能量足以供智能手机使用一周。故选C。 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Traditional Chinese Culture Chinese culture is over 5，000 years old. 16.______． The spirit of the tea ceremony Xi Hu Long Jing (West Lake Dragon Well) and Yunnan Pu'er have long been world famous. 17.______．The spirit of the Chinese tea ceremony captures the Chinese attitude towards life and spirituality.

I would like to say that failures are not disastrous. Have faith, keep moving on, and never give up hope, and you will see your hard work pay off. I was a slow learner when I was little. Before five, I couldn't even speak in full sentences. Unlike most other children, I seldom interacted with others; I neither cried nor threw tantrums. My extreme quietness made my parents wonder if I was mentally slow, but they were not sure. Actually, I have to confess that my memories of my early childhood are quite unclear. My learning problems were the result of my mother taking some medicine when she became pregnant with me. Although I was born without any physical defects (缺陷), the medicine did affect my early intellectual development. When I was in elementary school, I learned very slowly and was as quiet as a doll. While my teacher was teaching, my mind often wandered outside the classroom to the playground. As a fifth grader, I finally started interacting with my classmates. That was the first time in my memory that I had some friends. After heading at full speed for my junior high education, my learning situation got stuck in the mud again. In my country, students entering junior high school had to take an IQ test. It was a test for schools to evaluate students' learning abilities so that they could arrange them into different levels of classes based on their IQ test scores. I was placed in the “bottom class” as a result of my below­average IQ score. Most of my teachers taught us using easy and slow methods because they considered us incapable of learning much. However, I never wanted to lose faith that I might one day succeed. That's when I discovered a strong passion for English. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1： At the age of 13，I found myself deeply interested in English. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： My story proves everyone has the ability to learn. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 Paragraph 1： At the age of 13, I found myself deeply interested in English. Aside from reading English textbooks, I developed a habit of reading English magazines, listening to English programs, and keeping an English diary. Moreover, I summarized almost every story in books or magazines to improve my writing skills. In order to strengthen my speaking ability, I often told myself those stories in English. I realized that no matter how hard or how unfair my situation was, I could choose to keep moving on rather than give up. Where there is a will, there is a way. With over 10 years of self­study, I successfully passed the exams and became an English teacher. Paragraph 2： My story proves everyone has the ability to learn. Success has nothing to do with IQ. No matter what you are interested in, you need to set a goal, and keep yourself working for that goal. Never lose faith or let go of your hope. Hope brings about passion. Passion makes you move forward, and once you learn with passion, your dreams will come true. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
