They may lake away some people’s jobs. C. They will give people less freedom when driving. 19. Which is the biggest benefit of self-driving cars? A. They are time-saving. B. Roads will be safer. C. People will travel more. 20. Why aren’t customers asking for self-driving cars? A. People love driving. B. People don’t want them. C. People can’t imagine them. 【答案】18. B 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【原文】The rise of autonomous vehicles has already had an enormous impact, with car companies investing billions of dollars to be the first to see their self-driving models on the road. Self-driving cars will probably be safer since there is no human error involved. There are also negative aspects too. What will all the taxi and truck drivers do? However, I believe in autonomous vehicles for one simple reason. Think about how much time we spend driving cars daily. The average American spends one hour driving to work per day, and 10 hours behind the wheel per week in total. That is a lot of extra free time during the day to just sit back, read a book, and relax. While some people think self-driving cars will give us less freedom. I think they will give us more. Imagine you wanted to take a trip across the country. Instead of having to prepare yourself for a long and stress-filled journey, you could just go to sleep at night and wake up at your destination in the morning. By making transportation more convenient, autonomous cars will give us more freedom rather than less. In addition, they will also make our roads safer. No wonder that, for the first time ever, companies are pouring billions into a product that no customer asked for. It’s not that nobody wants it, or that we love driving, but that the technology is too exciting for most people to imagine. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Here are books including stories related to the moon. Moon’s First Friends by Susanna Leonard Hill Ages 4 to 8 This amazing book will introduce some interesting elements like astronauts and spaceships to your kids. This book explains how the moon always stays up in the sky, from where it could witness everything happening over the earth and the life here, but it does not have any living object on itself, which might make the moon lonely. However, the loneliness of the moon ends up one day as humans from the earth decide to send spaceships and astronauts to the moon. Whose Moon Is That ? by Kim Krans Ages 3 to 7 Curiosity within kids is unsatisfiable. They are going to love this story about the ownership of the moon. Children will get to learn about different animals through the story as different animals claim that the moon belongs to them along with the stars. However, the moon belongs to none, and it is there to spread light. A very important lesson about relationships and sharing is conveyed through the story. My Little Half-Moon by Douglas Todd Jennerich Ages 5 to 8 This book will allow your kid to use their imagination to seek the reason behind the half-moon. A little boy in the story believes that the moon is half because it lost its other half, which must be making it feel alone. Then the boy decides to stay together with the moon. This book is highly recommended for your child with the beautiful message of kindness. A Big Mooncake for. Little Star by Grace Lin Ages 4 to 8 There could not be a more interesting method to learn about the moon’s phases. This story is about a star baking a mooncake with her mother. However baking the mooncake is not easy for the baby star as the moon keeps changing its shape. The book would encourage kids to get engaged in activities like cooking, and they would also get to know about the different shapes of the moon. 21. Who writes the book suitable for a three-year-old kid? A. Susanna Leonard Hill. B. Kim Krans. C. Douglas Todd Jennerich. D. Grace Lin. 22. What do Moon’s First Friends and My Little Half-Moon have in common? A. They teach children to be considerate. B. They explain the importance of sharing. C. They involve human keeping the moon company. D. They encourage children to become astronauts. 23. Which of the following makes it hard for the baby star to make the mooncake? A. Complex process. B. Lack of nice tools. C. Diversity of materials. D. Moon’s changeable shapes. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四本关于月球的儿童读物。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据标题“Whose Moon Is That ? by Kim Krans”项下内容“Ages 3 to 7 (3至7岁)”可知Kim Krans写的书适合3岁孩子读；故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据标题“Moon’s First Friends by Susanna Leonard Hill”项下内容“However, the loneliness of the moon ends up one day as humans from the earth decide to send spaceships and astronauts to the moon. (然而，月球的孤独终有一天会结束，因为地球上的人类决定向月球发送宇宙飞船和宇航员。)”可知人类决定将宇宙飞船和宇航员送往月球，即人类将陪伴月球；根据标题“My Little Half-Moon by Douglas Todd Jennerich”项下内容“Then the boy decides to stay together with the moon. (于是男孩决定和月亮呆在一起。)”可知男孩决定和月亮呆在一起，即人类陪伴月球，故Moon’s First Friends和My Little Half-Moon这两本书的共同点是涉及到了人类与月球为伴；故选C项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据标题“A Big Mooncake for. Little Star by Grace Lin”项下内容“However, baking the mooncake is not easy for the baby star as the moon keeps changing its shape (然而，对小星星来说，烤月饼并不容易，因为月亮的形状一直在变化)”可知月球的形状不断变化导致小星星做月饼很难；故选D项。 B In the sport of track and field, athletes compete not only with one another but against themselves, and with each race they try to achieve a new personal best. For one Nebraska teen running in what would likely be his final cross-country outing before graduating from high school, Brandon Schutt's personal best turned out not to be about marking the fastest time but displaying the biggest heart. A mile into the 3.1-mile race, however, Schutt realized he wasn't going to be able to keep up the necessary drive. Rather than risk injury, he slowed to a comfortable pace that would allow him to simply enjoy the moment and the day. Meanwhile, as a student in Omaha Burke High School, Blake Cerveny was running a very different kind of race. Aiming to beat his own personal record, after a fast start, he continued to push himself hard. With less than 400 meters to go, Cerveny's legs cramped（抽筋）up and failed him. Determined to finish, Cerveny rose from the ground and continued on, only to fall again after another 150 meters…and again, he got up and started running. This time he'd made it only 25 meters more before going down. But he wasn't done yet. Less than 100 meters from the finish line, he lay curled on the ground. His legs had simply given out. Before Cerveny's dad could reach his son, another runner—Brandon Schutt—was at his side to offer a helping hand. His first attempt to get Cerveny up failed, but like Cerveny, he refused to quit, too. With a second pull, Cerveny was on his feet. At a measured jog, with Cerveny holding Schutt for support and Schutt helping Cerveny maintain balance, the two completed the final 75 meters of the course together. Schutt even made sure the injured runner crossed the finish line first, securing his opponent a faster time. Although Cerveny was automatically disqualified for having received help, Schutt's time for the race would stand. 24. What can we learn about Schutt at the beginning of the running? A. He was confident to win the first place. B. He was nervous about the coming graduation. C. He was clear about his own strengths and weaknesses. D. He was dissatisfied with the annoying surrounding things. 25. Why did Cerveny take part in the competition? A. To break his own running record. B. To show his difference from others. C. To be admitted into the national team. D. To turn his father's dream into reality. 26. What happened to Cerveny during the running? A. He helped Schutt finish the race. B. He had the first fall at 150 meters. C. He finally finished the race faster than Schutt. D. He injured his own arms on account of the falls. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Sportsmanship Is What We Should Respect B. A Hero Runner Carries A Competitor To The Safe Place C. Runners Met Again After Crossing The Finish Line Together D. A Teen Runner Helped A Competitor Finish The Race After He Fell Down 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【分析】本篇是记叙文。田径运动员往往把重点放在打破纪录上，但是运动员Brandon Schutt为了帮助竞争对手而放弃了自己的竞争机会，这是真正的鼓舞人心的体育精神。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Brandon Schutt's personal best turned out not to be about marking the fastest time but displaying the biggest heart. (布兰登·舒特的个人最好成绩并不是记录最快的时间，而是表现出最大的定力和勇气。)”和“however, Schutt realized he wasn't going to be able to keep up the necessary drive. (然而，Schutt意识到他无法保持必要的动力。)”可推断，Schutt对自己的优缺点很清楚。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Aiming to beat his own personal record, after a fast start, he continued to push himself hard. (他的目标是打破自己的个人记录，在快速出发后，他继续努力。)”可知，Cerveny参赛的目的是打破自己的纪录。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Schutt even made sure the injured runner crossed the finish line first, securing his opponent a faster time. (Schutt甚至确保受伤的Cerveny第一个冲过终点线，让他的对手更快地冲过终点线。)”可知，Schutt帮助Cerveny率先冲过终点线，而他自己落在了后面。故选C项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Schutt even made sure the injured runner crossed the finish line first, securing his opponent a faster time. Although Cerveny was automatically disqualified for having received help, Schutt's time for the race would stand. (Schutt甚至确保受伤的Cerveny第一个冲过终点线，让他的对手更快地冲过终点线。尽管Cerveny因为接受了帮助而自动被取消了比赛资格，但Schutt的比赛时间仍然有效。)”可知，本文讲述了运动员Brandon Schutt在比赛中帮助竞争对手Cerveny的感人故事。故选D项。 C The “diet” in diet drinks maybe a false promise for some soda lovers. True, they deliver the taste of a soda experience, without the calories. Yet, new research shows they can also leave people with increased appetite. A study published recently in JAMA Network open adds to the evidence that drinks made with sucralose, an artificial sweetener (甜味剂), may increase the appetite among some people. “We found females and overweight people had greater brain reward activity after consuming the artificial sweetener,” says study author Katie Page, a physician at the University of Southern California. Both groups ate more food after consuming drinks with sucralose, compared with after regular sugar-sweetened drinks. In contrast, the study found males and people of healthy weight did not have an increase in either brain reward activity or hunger response, suggesting they’re not affected in the same way. One theory is that it’s not the artificial sweetener itself that has a direct effect on the body. The idea is that artificial sweeteners may confuse the body by tricking it into thinking sugar is coming. “You are supposed to get sugar after something tastes sweet,” explains Swithers, “Your body has been used to that.” But the sugar never arrives, which may lead to the body’s less efficiency in processing sugar that s consumed later. Swithers’ lab has also documented that when animals with a history of consuming artificial sweeteners get real sugar, their blood sugar levels rise higher than those of animals not fed artificial sweeteners. “It’s a small effect, but overtime this could contribute to potentially significant consequences,” she says. If this is happening in some people who consume diet soda, it could add to the risk of Type 2 diabetes (糖尿病), because when blood sugar rises, the body has to release more insulin (胰岛素) to absorb the sugar. “So what you’re doing is that you are kind of pushing the system harder,” Swithers says. 28. What can we learn from Katie page’s study? A. Females enjoying diet drinks consume more food. B. Artificial sweeteners help males with better appetite. C. Diet drinks increase hunger response of healthy people. D. people consuming sucralose have greater brain reward activity. 29. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The effect of sugar. B. Response to sweetness. C. Artificial sweetener. D. The absence of sweetness. 30. What can we infer from Susan Swithers’words in the last paragraph? A. More insulin release helps sugar level rise. B. people drinking diet soda hardly absorb sugar. C. Type 2 diabetes mainly results from artificial sweeteners. D. Consuming artificial sweeteners might cause health problems. 31. What does the passage mainly talk about? A The potential of artificially-sweetened drinks. B. The wisdom of choosing healthy sweet drinks. C. The underlying link between diet drinks and health. D. The differences among artificially-sweetened drinks. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对于一些苏打爱好者来说，无糖饮料中的“减肥”可能是一个虚假的承诺。新的研究表明，它们也会让人食欲大增，反而会对身体造成伤害。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中“We found females and overweight people had greater brain reward activity after consuming the artificial sweetener (我们发现，女性和超重者在食用人造甜味剂后，大脑的奖励活动更大)”和“Both groups ate more food after consuming drinks with sucralose, compared with after regular sugar-sweetened drinks. In contrast, the study found males and people of healthy weight did not have an increase in either brain reward activity or hunger response, suggesting they’re not affected in the same way. (与常规加糖饮料相比，两组人在饮用含有三氯蔗糖的饮料后都吃了更多的食物。相比之下，研究发现，男性和体重健康的人的大脑奖励活动或饥饿反应都没有增加，这表明他们没有受到同样的影响)”可知，女性相比于男性来说，在喝了无糖饮料后更容易吃得更多。故选A项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。由第三段中“The idea is that artificial sweeteners may confuse the body by tricking it into thinking sugar is coming. “You are supposed to get sugar after something tastes sweet,” explains Swithers, “Your body has been used to that.”(这种想法是，人造甜味剂可能会诱使身体认为糖即将到来，从而误导身体。Swithers解释道：“你应该在尝到甜的东西后得到糖。你的身体已经习惯了that。”)”可知，人造甜味剂可能会误导身体，让它误以为糖来了，说明人的身体已经习惯尝到了甜的东西后一定会得到糖，这是身体对糖的反应，that指代“对甜味的反应”。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中““It’s a small effect, but overtime this could contribute to potentially significant consequences,” she says. If this is happening in some people who consume diet soda, it could add to the risk of Type 2 diabetes (糖尿病), because when blood sugar rises, the body has to release more insulin (胰岛素) to absorb the sugar. (她说：“这是一个小影响，但随着时间的推移，这可能会产生潜在的重大后果。”如果这种情况发生在一些喝无糖汽水的人身上，可能会增加患2型糖尿病的风险，因为当血糖升高时，身体必须释放更多的胰岛素来吸收糖)”可知，摄入人工甜味剂可能会导致重大的健康问题。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了对于一些苏打爱好者来说，无糖饮料中的“减肥”可能是一个虚假的承诺。新的研究表明，它们也会让人食欲大增，反而会对身体造成伤害。由此可知，C项“无糖饮料与健康之间的潜在联系”能概括全文大意。故选C项。 D After losing an important deal in India, a business negotiator learned that her counterpart (对方) felt as if she had been rushing through the talks. The business negotiator thought she was being efficient with their time. Their cultures have different views on how to conduct negotiations, and in this case, the barrier prevented a successful outcome. Research shows that deal-making across cultures tends to lead to worse outcomes as compared with negotiations conducted within the same culture. As we know, cultures are characterized by different behaviors, communication styles and norms (准则). Consequently, when negotiating across cultures, we bring different views to the bargaining table, which in turn may result in potential misunderstandings that can lead to a lower likelihood of discovering value-creating solutions. Cultural conflict in negotiations is linked with the fact that we, at most times, interpret others’ behaviors, values, and beliefs through the lens (透镜) of our own culture. To overcome this, it is important to rescarch the customs and behaviors of different cultures as well as understand why people follow these customs and exhibit these behaviors in the first place. Just as important, not only do countries have unique cultures, but teams and organizations do too. Before partaking in any negotiation, take the time to study the context and the person on the other side of the bargaining table, including the various cultures to which he belongs, whether the culture of his culture, the culture of engineering, or his particular company’s corporate culture. The more you know about the client, the better off you’ll do in any negotiation. Therefore, we see the negotiator has learned her Indian counterpart would have appreciated a slower pace with more opportunities for relationship building. She seems to have run into the issue: Using time efficiently in the course of negotiations is generally valued in the United States, but in India, there’s often a greater focus on building relationships early in the process. By doing research on the clients’ cultures, they can adjust their negotiation method and give themselves a better chance of creating a valuable negotiation experience for both themselves and their counterpart. 32. What resulted in the business woman’s failure in her negotiation in India? A. Her slow work style. B. Their personal conflicts of interests. C. Her poor communication capacity. D. The differences between their cultures. 33. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The analyses about the findings of the research. B. The deep reasons for failed cross-culture negotiations. C. The common misunderstandings in negotiations. D. The causes of conflicts between negotiators’ views. 34. What does the author mainly want to say in Paragraph 4? A. Rescearch is necessary before negotiating. B. People should respect cultural differences. C. Meeting cultural differences is fairly common. D. Cross-culture conflicts result from ignorance. 35. What is the function of the last paragraph? A. To come up with a new conclusion. B. To recommend a negotiation method. C. To summarize the above paragraphs. D. To share different opinions on the example. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何通过了解不同的文化来应对文化冲突，从而在跨文化谈判中达成合作。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Their cultures have different views on how to conduct negotiations, and in this case, the barrier prevented a successful outcome. (他们的文化对如何进行谈判有不同的看法，在这种情况下，这种障碍阻碍了成功的结果)”可知，双方的文化差异导致了生意谈判失败。故选D项。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“As we know, cultures are characterized by different behaviors, communication styles and norms (准则). Consequently, when negotiating across cultures, we bring different views to the bargaining table, which in turn may result in potential misunderstandings that can lead to a lower likelihood of discovering value-creating solutions. (正如我们所知，文化以不同的行为、沟通方式和规范为特征。因此，当跨文化谈判时，我们会把不同的观点带到谈判桌上，这反过来可能会导致潜在的误解，从而降低发现创造价值的解决方案的可能性)”可知，该段主要分析的是跨文化谈判失败的深层原因，即不同的文化往往有不同的观点，有可能导致潜在的误解。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Before partaking in any negotiation, take the time to study the context and the person on the other side of the bargaining table, including the various cultures to which he belongs, whether the culture of his culture, the culture of engineering, or his particular company’s corporate culture. The more you know about the client, the better off you’ll do in any negotiation. (在参加任何谈判之前，花点时间研究背景和谈判桌上的对方，包括他所属的各种文化，无论是他的文化、工程文化，还是他所在公司的企业文化。你对客户了解得越多，你在谈判中就越有利)”可推知，作者在该段想要表达的是在谈判前进行调查研究很有必要，对对方的文化越了解，越有利于谈判的进行。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，第一段给出跨文化谈判失败的案例，第二、三、四段从该案例出发，分析了跨文化谈判往往会失败背后深层次的文化原因，以及解决这种跨文化问题的方法，最后一段回到案例本身，结合上文的原因和方法，给案例中的人提供了具体的建议。由此推知，该段旨在归纳上文。故选C项。 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。 Positive Ways to Greet the Morning I don’t always get up early in the morning. Even if I’ve got enough sleep, I rarely leap out of bed in a hurry to go.

My parents worked day and night to keep a roof over our heads and food on our table. It's true that we had little money and few goods, but we got plenty of love and attention. I was very happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics. I fell in love with baseball at an early age, a love so deep that I almost gave it my all. I practiced hard every day and that made me a little closer to my dream. By the time I was sixteen, I had made great progress: I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fast ball and hit anything that moved on the field. I was also lucky: my high school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but also taught me how to believe in myself. One particular incident (事件) with my coach Ollie Jarvis changed my life forever. It was the summer holiday in Senior 2 and one of my friends recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and I could also begin to save money for a house for my mother, which was what I had always dreamed of. The prospect (前景) of this summer job was attractive and I wanted to jump at this chance. Then it hit me that I would have to give up summer baseball training to deal with the work schedule. I was afraid of telling my coach, who would certainly be against my plan. I hesitated for several days. At last, I spurred (给……打气) myself with the advice my mother often gave us, "If you make your bed, you have to lie in it." I made up my mind. Paragraph1: When I told my coach Ollie Jarvis, he was as angry as I expected him to be. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2： “Well,” he asked, “is $3.5 an hour from the summer job the price of a dream?” _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph1: When I told my coach Ollie Jarvis, he was as angry as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said, with a serious look on his face, “but your playing days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.” I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mother a house was worth facing his disappointment. “How much are you going to make at this summer job, son? ” he demanded. “$ 3.5 per hour,” I replied in a low voice. Paragraph2： “Well,” he asked, “is $ 3.5 an hour from the summer job the price of a dream?” That simple question set me thinking. It made me understand the difference between wanting something right now and having a long-term goal. Determined to put all my heart into baseball, I promised the coach that I would give up the job. That summer, I dedicated myself to baseball training, and the next year, I was given a baseball scholarship to a university. Finally, I signed with a famous team for $ 1.7 million, and certainly bought my mother the house of my dream. 【解析】 【导读】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者从小家里很贫穷，为妈妈买一所房子一直是他的梦想。为此他一直都在努力练习棒球，并且进步飞快。高二年级的暑假，他有了放弃进行夏季棒球训练去做一份暑期工作的想法，但是教练Ollie Jarvis坚决反对，极力劝说，让他明白了现在想要一些东西和有一个长期目标之间的区别，这也最终帮助他实现了梦想。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我告诉我的教练Ollie Jarvis时，他就像我想象的一样生气。”可知，第一段可描写教练Ollie Jarvis坚决反对他不参加棒球训练去做暑期工作的想法。 ②由第二段首句内容“那么，”他问，“暑期工作每小时3.5美元是一个梦想的价格吗？”可知，第二段可描写教练Ollie Jarvis给作者讲梦想的价格是什么，让他明白了现在想要一些东西和有一个长期目标之间的区别，最终他实现了梦想。 2.续写线索：教练很生气——教练提问——教练解释——作者反思——作者实现梦想 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.回答说： reply /respond/answer ②.专注于：dedicate…to… /devote…to…/concentrate on ③.获得：be given /gain /obtain 描述类 ①.有限的：limited/ restricted/confined ②. 著名的：famous/well-known 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Moon’s First Friends by Susanna Leonard Hill Ages 4 to 8 This amazing book will introduce some interesting elements like astronauts and spaceships to your kids. This book explains how the moon always stays up in the sky, from where it could witness everything happening over the earth and the life here, but it does not have any living object on itself, which might make the moon lonely. However, the loneliness of the moon ends up one day as humans from the earth decide to send spaceships and astronauts to the moon.

B In the sport of track and field, athletes compete not only with one another but against themselves, and with each race they try to achieve a new personal best. For one Nebraska teen running in what would likely be his final cross-country outing before graduating from high school, Brandon Schutt's personal best turned out not to be about marking the fastest time but displaying the biggest heart. A mile into the 3.1-mile race, however, Schutt realized he wasn't going to be able to keep up the necessary drive. Rather than risk injury, he slowed to a comfortable pace that would allow him to simply enjoy the moment and the day. Meanwhile, as a student in Omaha Burke High School, Blake Cerveny was running a very different kind of race. Aiming to beat his own personal record, after a fast start, he continued to push himself hard. With less than 400 meters to go, Cerveny's legs cramped（抽筋）up and failed him. Determined to finish, Cerveny rose from the ground and continued on, only to fall again after another 150 meters…and again, he got up and started running. This time he'd made it only 25 meters more before going down. But he wasn't done yet. Less than 100 meters from the finish line, he lay curled on the ground. His legs had simply given out. Before Cerveny's dad could reach his son, another runner—Brandon Schutt—was at his side to offer a helping hand. His first attempt to get Cerveny up failed, but like Cerveny, he refused to quit, too. With a second pull, Cerveny was on his feet. At a measured jog, with Cerveny holding Schutt for support and Schutt helping Cerveny maintain balance, the two completed the final 75 meters of the course together. Schutt even made sure the injured runner crossed the finish line first, securing his opponent a faster time. Although Cerveny was automatically disqualified for having received help, Schutt's time for the race would stand. 24. What can we learn about Schutt at the beginning of the running? A. He was confident to win the first place. B. He was nervous about the coming graduation. C. He was clear about his own strengths and weaknesses. D. He was dissatisfied with the annoying surrounding things. 25. Why did Cerveny take part in the competition? A. To break his own running record. B. To show his difference from others. C. To be admitted into the national team. D. To turn his father's dream into reality. 26. What happened to Cerveny during the running? A. He helped Schutt finish the race. B. He had the first fall at 150 meters. C. He finally finished the race faster than Schutt. D. He injured his own arms on account of the falls. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Sportsmanship Is What We Should Respect B. A Hero Runner Carries A Competitor To The Safe Place C. Runners Met Again After Crossing The Finish Line Together D. A Teen Runner Helped A Competitor Finish The Race After He Fell Down C The “diet” in diet drinks maybe a false promise for some soda lovers. True, they deliver the taste of a soda experience, without the calories. Yet, new research shows they can also leave people with increased appetite. A study published recently in JAMA Network open adds to the evidence that drinks made with sucralose, an artificial sweetener (甜味剂), may increase the appetite among some people. “We found females and overweight people had greater brain reward activity after consuming the artificial sweetener,” says study author Katie Page, a physician at the University of Southern California. Both groups ate more food after consuming drinks with sucralose, compared with after regular sugar-sweetened drinks. In contrast, the study found males and people of healthy weight did not have an increase in either brain reward activity or hunger response, suggesting they’re not affected in the same way. One theory is that it’s not the artificial sweetener itself that has a direct effect on the body. The idea is that artificial sweeteners may confuse the body by tricking it into thinking sugar is coming. “You are supposed to get sugar after something tastes sweet,” explains Swithers, “Your body has been used to that.” But the sugar never arrives, which may lead to the body’s less efficiency in processing sugar that s consumed later. Swithers’ lab has also documented that when animals with a history of consuming artificial sweeteners get real sugar, their blood sugar levels rise higher than those of animals not fed artificial sweeteners. “It’s a small effect, but overtime this could contribute to potentially significant consequences,” she says. If this is happening in some people who consume diet soda, it could add to the risk of Type 2 diabetes (糖尿病), because when blood sugar rises, the body has to release more insulin (胰岛素) to absorb the sugar. “So what you’re doing is that you are kind of pushing the system harder,” Swithers says. 28. What can we learn from Katie page’s study? A. Females enjoying diet drinks consume more food. B. Artificial sweeteners help males with better appetite. C. Diet drinks increase hunger response of healthy people. D people consuming sucralose have greater brain reward activity. 29. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The effect of sugar. B. Response to sweetness. C. Artificial sweetener. D. The absence of sweetness. 30. What can we infer from Susan Swithers’words in the last paragraph? A More insulin release helps sugar level rise. B. people drinking diet soda hardly absorb sugar. C. Type 2 diabetes mainly results from artificial sweeteners. D. Consuming artificial sweeteners might cause health problems. 31. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The potential of artificially-sweetened drinks. B. The wisdom of choosing healthy sweet drinks. C. The underlying link between diet drinks and health. D. The differences among artificially-sweetened drinks. D After losing an important deal in India, a business negotiator learned that her counterpart (对方) felt as if she had been rushing through the talks. The business negotiator thought she was being efficient with their time. Their cultures have different views on how to conduct negotiations, and in this case, the barrier prevented a successful outcome. Research shows that deal-making across cultures tends to lead to worse outcomes as compared with negotiations conducted within the same culture. As we know, cultures are characterized by different behaviors, communication styles and norms (准则). Consequently, when negotiating across cultures, we bring different views to the bargaining table, which in turn may result in potential misunderstandings that can lead to a lower likelihood of discovering value-creating solutions. Cultural conflict in negotiations is linked with the fact that we, at most times, interpret others’ behaviors, values, and beliefs through the lens (透镜) of our own culture. To overcome this, it is important to rescarch the customs and behaviors of different cultures as well as understand why people follow these customs and exhibit these behaviors in the first place. Just as important, not only do countries have unique cultures, but teams and organizations do too. Before partaking in any negotiation, take the time to study the context and the person on the other side of the bargaining table, including the various cultures to which he belongs, whether the culture of his culture, the culture of engineering, or his particular company’s corporate culture. The more you know about the client, the better off you’ll do in any negotiation. Therefore, we see the negotiator has learned her Indian counterpart would have appreciated a slower pace with more opportunities for relationship building. She seems to have run into the issue: Using time efficiently in the course of negotiations is generally valued in the United States, but in India, there’s often a greater focus on building relationships early in the process. By doing research on the clients’ cultures, they can adjust their negotiation method and give themselves a better chance of creating a valuable negotiation experience for both themselves and their counterpart. 32. What resulted in the business woman’s failure in her negotiation in India? A. Her slow work style. B. Their personal conflicts of interests. C. Her poor communication capacity. D. The differences between their cultures. 33. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The analyses about the findings of the research. B. The deep reasons for failed cross-culture negotiations. C. The common misunderstandings in negotiations. D. The causes of conflicts between negotiators’ views. 34 What does the author mainly want to say in Paragraph 4? A. Rescearch is necessary before negotiating. B. People should respect cultural differences. C. Meeting cultural differences is fairly common. D. Cross-culture conflicts result from ignorance. 35. What is the function of the last paragraph? A. To come up with a new conclusion. B. To recommend a negotiation method. C. To summarize the above paragraphs. D. To share different opinions on the example. 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。 Positive Ways to Greet the Morning I don’t always get up early in the morning.

My parents worked day and night to keep a roof over our heads and food on our table. It's true that we had little money and few goods, but we got plenty of love and attention. I was very happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics. I fell in love with baseball at an early age, a love so deep that I almost gave it my all. I practiced hard every day and that made me a little closer to my dream. By the time I was sixteen, I had made great progress: I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fast ball and hit anything that moved on the field. I was also lucky: my high school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but also taught me how to believe in myself. One particular incident (事件) with my coach Ollie Jarvis changed my life forever. It was the summer holiday in Senior 2 and one of my friends recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and I could also begin to save money for a house for my mother, which was what I had always dreamed of. The prospect (前景) of this summer job was attractive and I wanted to jump at this chance. Then it hit me that I would have to give up summer baseball training to deal with the work schedule. I was afraid of telling my coach, who would certainly be against my plan. I hesitated for several days. At last, I spurred (给……打气) myself with the advice my mother often gave us, "If you make your bed, you have to lie in it." I made up my mind. Paragraph1: When I told my coach Ollie Jarvis, he was as angry as I expected him to be. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2： “Well,” he asked, “is $3.5 an hour from the summer job the price of a dream?” _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
