If you are considering this option for getting your degree, don’t forget to check out this gem. Rather than give the standard sales pitch, I will list the top reasons that I chose Western Governor’s University for my master’s degree. Lower tuition (学费) The tuition is lower than comparable online schools. Each term is six months long, giving me more time to complete the requirements for the term. In addition, if I finish early and still have time left in my term, I can do a part-time job to earn enough money for the schooling. I find this option to be very cost-effective. Flexible courses If I have learned enough either through life experience, on the job training, or in class, I can take the exam and skip the course. For example, I learned a great deal about special education law from working in the field, attended conferences, and took classes for my second bachelor’s degree. I was able to take the test, and pass, thus finishing the class quickly and focusing on other areas where I needed more studying time. Personal support I have a mentor (导师) assigned to me. My mentor is my contact person for questions and support. I get calls on a regular basis. We talk about where I am in my studies, what my next steps are, and any question I may have. I also have the online communities where I can go on the discussion with my schoolmates when I have questions. Respected degree I checked with the State Office of Education to find out if this was a good way to go. I learned that a degree from Western Governor’s University was a respected degree that is considered comparable to a degree from a traditional brick and mortar (灰泥) university. I am nearly finished with my degree from Western Governor’s University. I gain confidence in my abilities, and am very happy with my decision. 36. From this passage we lean that Western Governor’s University ________. A. is a key American university B. attracts a great number of students C. is a brick and mortar university D. is a good online university 37. How can the author get enough money for his schooling? A. He depends on his family’s support. B. He does a part-time job to pay for it. C. He studies hard to get scholarship. D. He has a good job and a good pay. 38. We can infer that the author ________. A. had received a bachelor’s degree before B. never went to university before C. wanted to study special education law D. only studied the courses he liked 39. How does the author get in touch with his mentor? A. He calls his mentor at regular time. B. His mentor calls him at regular intervals. C. He calls on his mentor every few days. D. He often talks with his mentor online. 40. The author writes the article ________. A. in order to let others know his studies and dream B. in order to make others go for online universities C. to use his experience to recommend his university D. to show what he has chosen is definitely sensible B The library of Pharaoh Ramesses II is said to have borne the inscription (碑文) “the house of healing for the soul”. Dylan Thomas, an English writer, reportedly liked to relax by reading Agatha Christie’s detective novels. As for the novelist Yiyun Li, it was War and Peace that helped her get through the toughest times; when she launched a virtual reading group of Leo Tolstoy’s masterpiece in lockdown, 3,000 people signed up. In recent years, a growing body of research has backed up the idea that books not only entertain, but also help us recover and grow. They offer companionship to the lonely, insight to the anxious, and release to those who feel trapped. This feature has motivated Ann Cleeves to turn her attention to the old long-lasting bibliotherapy. She then co-sponsored such a program in northeast England, working with public health teams. Bibliotherapy is an approach using books and other forms of literature to improve a patient’s mental health. A review of several studies found such programs have a long-term effect on people’s well-being. But Cleeves has a broader idea in mind. Writing for The Guardian, she described how reading and writing fiction helped her understand her own response and allowed her to escape into a different world. The reading coaches will match their patients with appropriate poetry and novels as well as non-fiction based on patients’ condition, and will introduce them to librarians and other readers. After all, what’s uplifting to one reader will seem twee (花哨的) to another and what one finds unpleasant may be reassuring to the next. For Cleeves, it is happy to see people seek self-discovery in the world of books. Some may respond to children’s classic The Secret Garden; others will recognize themselves in Toni Morrison’s novels. An ancient idea has found fresh resonance (共鸣). 41. What did Dylan Thomas and Yiyun Li have in common? A. They sought inspiration in foreign countries. B. They turned to books for spiritual comfort. C. They had a great influence on the world literature. D. They once launched a reading group during tough times. 42 What inspired Ann Cleeves to co-sponsor the program? A. The healing power of books. B. The support from public health teams. C. The popularity of the program among people. D. The lack of such a program in northeast England. 43. What can be inferred about bibliotherapy? A. It can greatly improve public health. B. It can bring a boom in book markets. C. It can be used as a cure for depression. D. It can bring in diverse forms of literature. 44. How does a reading coach play his or her role? A. By suiting specific books to patients. B. By helping librarians sort out all kinds of books. C. By assisting readers in writing their own fiction. D. By recording readers’ response to different books. 45. Which of the following can serve as the best title of this text? A. Virtual reading groups: the rising industry in lockdown B. An inscription: the house of healing for the soul C. Novel reading: two sides to mental troubles D. Bibliotherapy: an old idea finds new life C Whether an individual is considering starting a small business or changing career paths, passion must be taken into account. While characteristics such as strong values, talent, ambition, intellect, discipline, persistence (毅力), and luck all contribute to business and career success, following your passion can often make the most significant difference of all. Before discussing passion and explaining its significance, we must first define the true meaning of success. Success is usually thought of as making large sums of wealth or achieving a certain level of fame, but true success that satisfies is not all about money. Success is better defined as an achievement of a desired aim or purpose. More than money or fame, most people desire to combine their own passions with their work while making a sustainable income. The more you earn, the less money returns, making money an elusive (难以捉摸的) definition of success. For most people, success means being proud of their achievements and being part of something that matters. This is particularly true when it comes to meaningful work. If an individual decides to follow their passion, there is a greater likelihood that money and traditional success will follow because the time and effort invested in the adventure come with enthusiasm and zeal (热情). If enthusiasm and passion are present, people tend to be more resilient (有承受力) when encountering obstacles. People who are passionate about what they do, rather than just "in it for the money," tend to be people who have more positive outlooks and can overcome difficulty through problem-solving. Also, the more passionate someone is about their job, the more inclined (倾向于) they are to work hard on self-improvement, increasing their chances of success. One of the most successful companies in the world is Apple. Apple's founder and most remarkable leader was the late Steve Jobs. In an article titled “The Seven Success Principles of Steve Jobs”, writer Carmine Gallo outlines seven factors responsible for Jobs’ success. The article is based on interviews with Apple employees and Steve Jobs himself. The first principle? “Do what you love.” Steve Jobs believed in the power of passion and once said, “People with passion can change the world for the better.” Jobs claimed that his passion for his work made all the difference. 46. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________. A. introduce the topic B. make a comparison C. present an argument D. propose a definition 47. By saying “The more you earn, the less money returns, making money an elusive definition of success.” in Paragraph 3, the author means ________. A. sometimes you don’t get much reward for your hard work B. money doesn't always define success C. if you want to be successful, you need a steady income D. the more you earn, the less money returns, which is not a sign of success 48. What could we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Most people intend to choose meaningful jobs. B. If you follow most people's course, success is just around the corner. C. Working with enthusiasm is more likely to succeed. D. If you are always proud of yourself, you will succeed easily. 49. The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________. A. situations B. risks C. threats D. difficulties 50. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Steve Jobs and His Success Principles B. Follow Your Passions, and Success Will Follow C. Secrets to Success D. Passion and Your Career D Likely to suffer from loss of memory from time to time? Smart cameras can now remind you. Khai Truong at the University of Toronto in Canada and his colleagues have created a smartphone app that records interactions with household objects. The system involves a barcode-like markers that the user sticks to objects whose use they would like to track. With the smartphone worn around your neck, the app automatically records a short video clip when a marked object comes into view. “The user is able to look through the application and see the last time they interacted with it.” says Truong. The app can help people track the state of objects — such as whether they locked a door or switched a light off — as well as routine actions. At present it successfully records about 75% of interactions, but only works for fixed objects. A similar but separate system can solve the problem. E. Akin Sisbot and Jonathan Connell at IBM Research in New York have invented a ceiling-mounted (安装在天花板上的) camera that monitors objects and people. It continuously watches an area such as a tabletop in your home, tracking the placement of objects in relation to one another. It also remembers who first brought an object into the field of view as well as anyone moved it for afterwards. When asked, “Where is my wallet?” the system might respond, “It is next to the vase, under the magazines.” The camera could also be used in factories or operating theatres to track a vital tools, says Sisbot. For now, the camera uses a deep sensor to spot things. It is limited to detecting objects thicker than 3 centimeters, meaning that it has trouble with thin objects such as a closed laptop placed flat on a table. The accuracy of such smart camera systems may need to improve before they are widely adopted. “You’ve got to trust the technology for it to be of any comfort or reassurance.” says Geoffrey Ward at the University of Essex in UK. 51. How does the smartphone app mentioned in Paragraph 2 work? A. By switching of electricity automatically. B. By scanning barcodes of household objects. C. By recording the movement of marked objects. D. By informing owners of potential dangers. 52. The smart cameras may be designed for______. A. lazy students B. the blind C. young adults D. forgetful people 53. What is the limitation of the ceiling-mounted camera? A. It is unlikely to make a sound. B. It is unable to recognize movable objects. C. It fails to find objects thinner than 3 centimeters. D. It hardly senses objects without barcode-like markers. 54. What is Geoffrey Ward’s attitude towards smart camera systems? A. Neutral. B. Supportive. C. Skeptical. D. Opposed. 55. What is the best title for the text? A. New smartphones make life easier B. Camera designers face new challenges C. Smart cameras help inerease home security D. New systems help people with memory problems 第II卷主观题 (共10分) 阅读表达 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读表达 “Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy---they're given after all. Choices can be hard.” I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30, and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most start-ups don’t and I wasn't sure what to expect. She told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I had been a garage inventor. I had always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion. I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people and a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him that I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park，listened carefully to me and finally said“That sounds like a really good idea，but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job.”That logic made some sense to me，and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice，but ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I would regret trying and failing. And I suspected that I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration, I took the less secure path to follow my passion, and I'm proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices. 56. What inspired the author to start Amazon 16 years ago? (No more than 15 words) 57. How did the author’s wife respond to his crazy idea of building an online bookstore? (No more than 10 words) 58. What was the attitude of the author’s boss towards his starting a company online?

Would you like to join in? —________. Everyone should do his bit. A. You asked for it B. You bet C. You have my word D. You’ve got me there 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查情景交际。A. You asked for it你自找的；B. You bet当然了。 C. You have my word我向你保证。D. You’ve got me there你难住我了。句意：青年人联盟委员会正在寻找垃圾分类的志愿者，你愿意参加吗？当然了，每个人都应该做出自己的贡献。故B项正确。 【点睛】情景交际用语的考查关键在于理解上下文语境，同时要注意辨析选项的意思。平时熟记各种情景下的不同的交际用语，尤其是一些与汉语相差较大的表达。做这类试题，要求同学们按照所给的情景，选择最佳问句或答句，完成题目。要想做好这类题目，关键是平时要养成讲英语的良好习惯，努力提高口语水平，熟练掌握日常会话项目中常用的问答语。 2. Recent research has ________ the cause of the new virus that has claimed thousands of lives. A. cast light on B. caught hold of C. made sense of D. laid stress on 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：最近的研究揭示了这种夺去数千人生命的新病毒的起因。A. cast light on阐明，解释；B. caught hold of抓住；C. made sense of理解，弄懂；D. laid stress on强调。由“Recent research”和“the cause of the new virus”可知，句子表示“最近的研究揭示了这种夺去数千人生命的新病毒的起因”，空格处意为“阐明，解释”。故选A。 3.

A. must have been B. would have been C. must be D. could be 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查情态动词和时态。句意：——昨晚我给你打电话了，但没人接。——对不起，我一定是睡着了。分析可知，前文提及打电话无人应答，后文解释原因：肯定当时在睡觉。must have been doing表示肯定当时正在做某事，符合语境要求。C项must be doing表示肯定现在正在做某事，与语境不符。故选A项。 5.

If you are considering this option for getting your degree, don’t forget to check out this gem. Rather than give the standard sales pitch, I will list the top reasons that I chose Western Governor’s University for my master’s degree. Lower tuition (学费) The tuition is lower than comparable online schools. Each term is six months long, giving me more time to complete the requirements for the term. In addition, if I finish early and still have time left in my term, I can do a part-time job to earn enough money for the schooling. I find this option to be very cost-effective. Flexible courses If I have learned enough either through life experience, on the job training, or in class, I can take the exam and skip the course. For example, I learned a great deal about special education law from working in the field, attended conferences, and took classes for my second bachelor’s degree. I was able to take the test, and pass, thus finishing the class quickly and focusing on other areas where I needed more studying time. Personal support I have a mentor (导师) assigned to me. My mentor is my contact person for questions and support. I get calls on a regular basis. We talk about where I am in my studies, what my next steps are, and any question I may have. I also have the online communities where I can go on the discussion with my schoolmates when I have questions. Respected degree I checked with the State Office of Education to find out if this was a good way to go. I learned that a degree from Western Governor’s University was a respected degree that is considered comparable to a degree from a traditional brick and mortar (灰泥) university. I am nearly finished with my degree from Western Governor’s University. I gain confidence in my abilities, and am very happy with my decision. 36.

Dylan Thomas, an English writer, reportedly liked to relax by reading Agatha Christie’s detective novels. As for the novelist Yiyun Li, it was War and Peace that helped her get through the toughest times; when she launched a virtual reading group of Leo Tolstoy’s masterpiece in lockdown, 3,000 people signed up. In recent years, a growing body of research has backed up the idea that books not only entertain, but also help us recover and grow. They offer companionship to the lonely, insight to the anxious, and release to those who feel trapped. This feature has motivated Ann Cleeves to turn her attention to the old long-lasting bibliotherapy. She then co-sponsored such a program in northeast England, working with public health teams. Bibliotherapy is an approach using books and other forms of literature to improve a patient’s mental health. A review of several studies found such programs have a long-term effect on people’s well-being. But Cleeves has a broader idea in mind. Writing for The Guardian, she described how reading and writing fiction helped her understand her own response and allowed her to escape into a different world. The reading coaches will match their patients with appropriate poetry and novels as well as non-fiction based on patients’ condition, and will introduce them to librarians and other readers. After all, what’s uplifting to one reader will seem twee (花哨的) to another and what one finds unpleasant may be reassuring to the next. For Cleeves, it is happy to see people seek self-discovery in the world of books. Some may respond to children’s classic The Secret Garden; others will recognize themselves in Toni Morrison’s novels. An ancient idea has found fresh resonance (共鸣). 41. What did Dylan Thomas and Yiyun Li have in common? A. They sought inspiration in foreign countries. B. They turned to books for spiritual comfort. C. They had a great influence on the world literature. D. They once launched a reading group during tough times. 42. What inspired Ann Cleeves to co-sponsor the program? A The healing power of books. B. The support from public health teams. C. The popularity of the program among people. D. The lack of such a program in northeast England. 43. What can be inferred about bibliotherapy? A. It can greatly improve public health. B. It can bring a boom in book markets. C. It can be used as a cure for depression. D. It can bring in diverse forms of literature. 44. How does a reading coach play his or her role? A. By suiting specific books to patients. B. By helping librarians sort out all kinds of books. C. By assisting readers in writing their own fiction. D. By recording readers’ response to different books. 45. Which of the following can serve as the best title of this text? A. Virtual reading groups: the rising industry in lockdown B. An inscription: the house of healing for the soul C. Novel reading: two sides to mental troubles D. Bibliotherapy: an old idea finds new life 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. C 44. A 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要讲述了书籍不仅具有娱乐功能，还可以帮助人们恢复和成长。Ann Cleeves资助了一个阅读疗法项目，为这种古老的疗法赋予了新的生命。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Dylan Thomas, an English writer, reportedly liked to relax by reading Agatha Christie’s detective novels. As for the novelist Yiyun Li, it was War and Peace that helped her get through the toughest times;(据报道，英国作家迪伦·托马斯喜欢通过阅读阿加莎·克里斯蒂的侦探小说来放松。至于小说家李翊云，《战争与和平》帮助她度过了最艰难的时期)”可知，迪伦·托马斯和李翊云都会转向书籍寻求精神慰藉。故选B项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In recent years, a growing body of research has backed up the idea that books not only entertain, but also help us recover and grow. They offer companionship to the lonely, insight to the anxious, and release to those who feel trapped.(近年来，越来越多的研究支持了这种观点，即书籍不仅能娱乐我们，还能帮助我们恢复和成长。它们为孤独的人提供陪伴，为焦虑的人提供洞察力，为那些感到被困的人提供解脱)”以及第三段“This feature has motivated Ann Cleeves to turn her attention to the old long-lasting bibliotherapy. She then co-sponsored such a program in northeast England, working with public health teams. (这一特点促使Ann Cleeves将注意力转向古老的长期阅读疗法。然后，她与公共卫生团队合作，在英格兰东北部共同赞助了这样一个项目)”可知，是书籍的治愈能力鼓舞了Ann Cleeves共同赞助长期阅读疗法项目。故选A项。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Bibliotherapy is an approach using books and other forms of literature to improve a patient’s mental health.(阅读疗法是一种利用书籍和其他形式的文献来改善患者心理健康的方法)”可知，阅读疗法可以用来改善患者的心理健康，由此可推测阅读疗法可以用来治疗抑郁症。故选C项。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The reading coaches will match their patients with appropriate poetry and novels as well as non-fiction based on patients’ condition, and will introduce them to librarians and other readers.(阅读教练将根据患者的情况为患者匹配合适的诗歌、小说和纪实文学，并将它们介绍给图书馆员和其他读者)”可知，阅读教练通过为患者匹配合适的书籍来发挥作用。故选A项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“This feature has motivated Ann Cleeves to turn her attention to the old long-lasting bibliotherapy.(这一特点促使Ann Cleeves将注意力转向古老的长期阅读疗法)”以及最后一段“An ancient idea has found fresh resonance.(一个古老的想法得到了新的共鸣)”可知，本文主要介绍了古老的阅读疗法得到了新的共鸣，所以“阅读疗法：一个旧的想法找到新的生命”可以作为文章标题。故选D项。 C Whether an individual is considering starting a small business or changing career paths, passion must be taken into account. While characteristics such as strong values, talent, ambition, intellect, discipline, persistence (毅力), and luck all contribute to business and career success, following your passion can often make the most significant difference of all. Before discussing passion and explaining its significance, we must first define the true meaning of success. Success is usually thought of as making large sums of wealth or achieving a certain level of fame, but true success that satisfies is not all about money. Success is better defined as an achievement of a desired aim or purpose. More than money or fame, most people desire to combine their own passions with their work while making a sustainable income. The more you earn, the less money returns, making money an elusive (难以捉摸的) definition of success. For most people, success means being proud of their achievements and being part of something that matters. This is particularly true when it comes to meaningful work. If an individual decides to follow their passion, there is a greater likelihood that money and traditional success will follow because the time and effort invested in the adventure come with enthusiasm and zeal (热情). If enthusiasm and passion are present, people tend to be more resilient (有承受力) when encountering obstacles. People who are passionate about what they do, rather than just "in it for the money," tend to be people who have more positive outlooks and can overcome difficulty through problem-solving. Also, the more passionate someone is about their job, the more inclined (倾向于) they are to work hard on self-improvement, increasing their chances of success. One of the most successful companies in the world is Apple. Apple's founder and most remarkable leader was the late Steve Jobs. In an article titled “The Seven Success Principles of Steve Jobs”, writer Carmine Gallo outlines seven factors responsible for Jobs’ success. The article is based on interviews with Apple employees and Steve Jobs himself. The first principle? “Do what you love.” Steve Jobs believed in the power of passion and once said, “People with passion can change the world for the better.” Jobs claimed that his passion for his work made all the difference. 46. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________. A. introduce the topic B. make a comparison C. present an argument D. propose a definition 47. By saying “The more you earn, the less money returns, making money an elusive definition of success.” in Paragraph 3, the author means ________. A. sometimes you don’t get much reward for your hard work B. money doesn't always define success C. if you want to be successful, you need a steady income D. the more you earn, the less money returns, which is not a sign of success 48. What could we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Most people intend to choose meaningful jobs. B. If you follow most people's course, success is just around the corner. C. Working with enthusiasm is more likely to succeed. D. If you are always proud of yourself, you will succeed easily. 49. The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________. A. situations B. risks C. threats D. difficulties 50. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Steve Jobs and His Success Principles B. Follow Your Passions, and Success Will Follow C. Secrets to Success D. Passion and Your Career 【答案】46. A 47. B 48. C 49. D 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章指出：无论一个人是在考虑创业还是改变职业道路，激情都是必须考虑的因素，与价值观、天赋、抱负、智力、纪律、毅力和运气等特征相比，追随激情更有助于商业和事业的成功。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Whether an individual is considering starting a small business or changing career paths, passion must be taken into account. While characteristics such as strong values, talent, ambition, intellect, discipline, persistence (毅力), and luck all contribute to business and career success, following your passion can often make the most significant difference of all. (无论一个人是在考虑创业还是改变职业道路，激情必须考虑在内。尽管诸如强烈的价值观、天赋、抱负、智力、纪律、毅力和运气这些特点，都有助于企业和事业成功，追随你的激情会产生最显著的影响。)”可知，作者介绍了文章的主题：激情促成事业的成功，因此推断第一段的目的是介绍主题。故选A项。 47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“The more you earn, the less money returns, making money an elusive(难以捉摸的) definition of success.(你赚的越多，金钱带来的回报就越少，这使得金钱成为成功的一个难以捉摸的定义)”，以及第二段的最后一句“Success is usually thought of as making large sums of wealth or achieving a certain level of fame, but true success that satisfies is not all about money. (成功通常被认为是获得大量的财富或获得一定程度的名声，但真正让人满意的成功并不全是金钱。)”，第三段的第二句“More than money or fame, most people desire to combine their own passions with their work while making a sustainable income. (比起金钱或名声，大多数人更渴望将自己的激情与工作结合起来，同时获得可持续的收入。)”可推知，通过说赚得越多，金钱带来的回报，作者的意思是：金钱并不总是能定义成功。故选B项。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。第四段“For most people, success means being proud of their achievements and being part of something that matters. This is particularly true when it comes to meaningful work. If an individual decides to follow their passion, there is a greater likelihood that money and traditional success will follow because the time and effort invested in the adventure come with enthusiasm and zeal (热情). (对大多数人来说，成功意味着为自己的成就感到骄傲，为成为重要事情的一部分感到骄傲。当涉及到有意义的工作时尤其如此。如果一个人决定追随自己的激情，金钱和传统的成功就更有可能随之而来，因为投入到冒险中的时间和努力伴随着激情和热情)”可知，带着激情投入工作，这份工作就变得有意义了，这时更有可能获得金钱以及传统意义的成功。故选C项。 【49题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句子“If enthusiasm and passion are present, people tend to be more resilient (有承受力) when encountering obstacles.(如果拥有热情和激情，当遭遇到obstacles时,人们往往更有承受力，)”，以及下一句“People who are passionate about what they do, rather than just ‘in it for the money,’ tend to be people who have more positive outlooks and can overcome difficulty through problem-solving. (那些对自己所做的事情充满激情的人，而不仅仅是‘为了钱才干这活’，往往是那些有更积极的态度，并能够通过解决问题来克服困难的人。)”可知，obstacles与下文中的difficulty语意相近，故选D项。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是文章第一段可知，在考虑创业还是改变职业道路时，与价值观、天赋、抱负、智力、纪律、毅力和运气相比，激情是最有助于企业和事业成功的因素。并结合倒数第二段“Also, the more passionate someone is about their job, the more inclined (倾向于) they are to work hard on self-improvement, increasing their chances of success. (此外，一个人对自己的工作越有激情，他们就越倾向于努力自我完善，增加成功的机会。)”，B项“Follow Your Passions, and Success Will Follow (追随你的激情，成功就会随之而来)”作为本文标题，最为贴切。故选B项。 D Likely to suffer from loss of memory from time to time? Smart cameras can now remind you. Khai Truong at the University of Toronto in Canada and his colleagues have created a smartphone app that records interactions with household objects. The system involves a barcode-like markers that the user sticks to objects whose use they would like to track. With the smartphone worn around your neck, the app automatically records a short video clip when a marked object comes into view. “The user is able to look through the application and see the last time they interacted with it.” says Truong. The app can help people track the state of objects — such as whether they locked a door or switched a light off — as well as routine actions. At present it successfully records about 75% of interactions, but only works for fixed objects. A similar but separate system can solve the problem. E. Akin Sisbot and Jonathan Connell at IBM Research in New York have invented a ceiling-mounted (安装在天花板上的) camera that monitors objects and people. It continuously watches an area such as a tabletop in your home, tracking the placement of objects in relation to one another. It also remembers who first brought an object into the field of view as well as anyone moved it for afterwards. When asked, “Where is my wallet?” the system might respond, “It is next to the vase, under the magazines.” The camera could also be used in factories or operating theatres to track a vital tools, says Sisbot. For now, the camera uses a deep sensor to spot things. It is limited to detecting objects thicker than 3 centimeters, meaning that it has trouble with thin objects such as a closed laptop placed flat on a table. The accuracy of such smart camera systems may need to improve before they are widely adopted. “You’ve got to trust the technology for it to be of any comfort or reassurance.” says Geoffrey Ward at the University of Essex in UK. 51. How does the smartphone app mentioned in Paragraph 2 work? A. By switching of electricity automatically. B. By scanning barcodes of household objects. C By recording the movement of marked objects. D. By informing owners of potential dangers. 52. The smart cameras may be designed for______. A. lazy students B. the blind C. young adults D. forgetful people 53. What is the limitation of the ceiling-mounted camera? A. It is unlikely to make a sound. B. It is unable to recognize movable objects. C. It fails to find objects thinner than 3 centimeters. D. It hardly senses objects without barcode-like markers. 54. What is Geoffrey Ward’s attitude towards smart camera systems? A. Neutral. B. Supportive. C. Skeptical. D. Opposed. 55. What is the best title for the text? A. New smartphones make life easier B. Camera designers face new challenges C. Smart cameras help inerease home security D. New systems help people with memory problems 【答案】51. C 52. D 53. C 54. B 55. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款帮助人们追踪物体的状态的智能手机应用程序，这个系统可以追踪物体来帮助记忆力不好的人。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Khai Truong at the University of Toronto in Canada and his colleagues have created a smartphone app that records interactions with household objects. The system involves a barcode-like markers that the user sticks to objects whose use they would like to track. (加拿大多伦多大学的Khai Truong和他的同事开发了一款智能手机应用程序，可以记录与家用物品的互动。该系统包括类似条形码的标记，用户可以粘在他们想要追踪的对象上)”及第三段中的“With the smartphone worn around your neck, the app automatically records a short video clip when a marked object comes into view. (把智能手机戴在脖子上，当有标记的物体出现时，该应用会自动录制一段短视频)”可知，这款智能手机应用程序是通过记录有标记物体的运动工作的。故选C。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Likely to suffer from loss of memory from time to time? Smart cameras can now remind you.(时常遭受失忆的痛苦吗？智能相机现在可以提醒你)”可推知，智能相机可能是为健忘的人设计的。故选D。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“It is limited to detecting objects thicker than 3 centimeters, meaning that it has trouble with thin objects such as a closed laptop placed flat on a table.(它只能探测厚度在3厘米以上的物体，因此很难探测平放在桌子上的封闭笔记本电脑等较薄的物体)”可知，安装在天花板上的相机的局限性是它找不到小于3厘米的物体。故选C。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““You’ve got to trust the technology for it to be of any comfort or reassurance.” says Geoffrey Ward at the University of Essex in UK.(“你必须相信这种技术，它才会带来任何安慰或安心。”英国埃塞克斯大学的杰弗里·沃德说)”可推知，杰弗里·沃德对智能摄像系统的态度是支持的。故选B。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Likely to suffer from loss of memory from time to time? Smart cameras can now remind you.(时常遭受失忆的痛苦吗？智能相机现在可以提醒你)”及下文介绍可知，文章主要介绍了一款帮助人们追踪物体的状态的智能手机应用程序，这个系统可以追踪物体来帮助记忆力不好的人。由此可知，New systems help people with memory problems(新的系统帮助人们解决记忆问题)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。 第II卷主观题 (共10分) 阅读表达 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读表达 “Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy---they're given after all. Choices can be hard.” I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30, and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most start-ups don’t and I wasn't sure what to expect. She told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I had been a garage inventor. I had always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion. I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people and a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him that I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park，listened carefully to me and finally said,“That sounds like a really good idea，but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job.”That logic made some sense to me，and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice，but ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I would regret trying and failing. And I suspected that I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration, I took the less secure path to follow my passion, and I'm proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices. 56. What inspired the author to start Amazon 16 years ago? (No more than 15 words) 57. How did the author’s wife respond to his crazy idea of building an online bookstore? (No more than 10 words) 58. What was the attitude of the author’s boss towards his starting a company online? (No more than 10 words) 59. What’s your understanding of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (No more than 15 words) 60. What is the most important factor when you make your career choice? Give your reasons. (No more than 20 words) 【答案】56. The fact that the Internet usage was growing sharply / fast per year. That the Internet usage was growing at 230 percent per year./The fact that more and more people were using the Internet. 57. She responded by telling me to go for it / my dream. She wanted / inspired me to follow my passion. 58. He thought it a good idea but unsuitable for me./He didn’t support his idea (to start a company online)./He wasn’t in favor of his idea (to start a company online). He held a negative attitude towards his idea. 59. For all of us, our choices decide / determine who we are finally. For all of us, our choices determine what we get finally./For all of us, our choices have a great effect on our life / future finally. 60. Interest, without which I can’t devote myself to the career and overcome the challenge./Better career prospects. (A good pay.) I hope to choose a career that can lead me to a bright future. 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。记叙了作者16年看到互联网的迅猛增长因此有了创办亚马逊的想法，对此想法作者的妻子表示支持作者追求自己的梦想和激情，而作者的老板则持反对态度，最终作者选择了一条不太安全的道路来追寻我的激情，作者也为自己的选择感到自豪。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2300 percent per year.
