B When her quadriplegic (四肢瘫痪的) son decided to get his MBA, Judy O’Connor attended every class with him to help him write and take part in classroom activities, so when her son, Marty O’Connor, graduated, he planned a surprise to thank her. On graduation day at Chapman University, little did Judy know she’d soon be the center of attention.When Marty’s name was called, his mom helped wheel him to the front, took a picture with Marty as he received his diploma and then over the loudspeaker, a voice made an announcement (宣布): The university was giving Judy an honorary MBA. “I cannot believe it. I’m proud of my son and touched to be honored,” said Judy with happy tears. To Marty, there was no doubt his mom, a retired elementary school teacher with a business degree, deserved (应得) to get her honorary MBA. Every day, Judy would sit by Marty in class, taking notes, raising her hand so he could answer questions, and silently filling in his answers on test days. Perhaps just as important, Judy gave Marty courage. At first, Marty wasn’t sure how the classroom would go for him. “But after a little while we found that by working together we could achieve a great deal,” Marty says. Over the past two years, the mother and the son had joked that Judy was putting in enough work to get her own degree. So during a meeting with the university president, Marty asked if his mother could get an honorary MBA. The president was totally on board and the school members even kept their plan very dark to make it a surprise. Marty encourages anyone in a similar situation to his to keep up hope.“Just keep an open mind, and you can start to see your difficulties as a chance to grow in your life,” he says. 24. Hearing the announcement, Judy felt _____. A. disturbed B. surprised C. satisfied D. lucky 25. What’s Marty’s attitude towards Judy’s honorary MBA? A. She should have it. B. She deserved better. C. It’ll set a good example. D. It was a dream come true. 26. What did it mean when Judy raised her hand in class? A. Judy needed the teachers to repeat everything. B. Judy had some questions to ask. C. Marty wanted to have a rest. D. Marty wanted to answer. 27. How did the school act on Marty’s suggestion? A. They disagreed at first. B. They developed a secret plan. C. They talked about it with Judy. D. They held meetings to discuss it. C Do you want to find a job that you just need to sit and sleep on a sofa? It is ridiculous but it happens. 26-year-old Anna Cherdantseva, from the city of Ufa, is a full-time sofa tester, spending up to 10 hours every day trying out new sofas for comfort and safety. Last month, Russian furniture giant MZ5 Group announced that it was taking application for a new position—full time sofa tester. Although all new products are tested in a specialized laboratory, management decided that in order to better meet the needs of consumers it needed some feedback on real-life use of its sofas. In just a few days, MZ5 received over 5,000 job applications from people eager to spend most of their time sitting and lying on sofas. “We were selecting candidates in several stages,” MZ5 Group spokesperson Anastasia Russkih said, “Initially we checked their resumes (简历), and then we let them tell us why they wanted the job.” Eventually, the furniture company shortlisted just 7 candidates, among whom Anna Cherdantseva, a 26-year-old marketing expert, proved to be the most suitable for the job. “I felt extreme competition, and it was a real fight for my dream job,” Anna said after getting selected. “I have a lot of ideas for improving the sofas, but I would prefer not to talk about them for now. I believe it will all work out between me and the sofas.” Despite describing herself as an active person, Cherdantseva says that spending about 10 hours a day sitting on sofas doesn’t sound bad at all. “Of course I will spend a lot of time on new sofas. The more time I spend on them, the better it will be for my work,” she told reporters. Anna Cherdantseva is currently on a three month probation (试用期) at MZ5, but the company claims that as long as she proves to be up to the task, they plan to offer her a permanent (长期的) position as a sofa tester. The young woman will receive a monthly salary of 56, 000 rubles ($1,000) for the first three months. It’s not so bad about the job. 28. Why did MZ5 Group want a sofa tester? A. Because it wants to satisfy its consumers better. B. Because it wants to save money by doing that. C. Because Anna Cherdantseva applied for the job. D. Because its products need to be tested. 29. What does the underlined word “feedback” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Products. B. Consumers. C. Praise. D. Response. 30. What does Anna Cherdantseva think of getting the job? A. It was very easy. B. It was challenging. C. It was equal. D. It was interesting. 31. What can be inferred from the text? A. The company found it difficult to find suitable employees. B. Anna Cherdantseva has the chance to work steadily for MZ5. C. The company doesn’t give Anna Cherdantseva a good salary now. D. Anna Cherdantseva got the job because of her similar work experience. D People are less likely to yawn (打哈欠) when others do as they get older, a study has found. Contagious (传染的) yawning is related more closely to a person’s age than tiredness and energy levels, US-based scientists said. Researchers are now looking at whether to catch yawns from other people is a born ability, with the hope of helping treat some mental health disorders. People with some mental illnesses are reportedly less able to catch yawns researchers said, so understanding the genes that are connected with contagious yawning could open new paths for treatment. In the study, published in the journal Plos One, 328 participants were shown a three-minute video showing other people yawning. Each participant had to click a button every time they yawned. Overall, 68 percent of the participants yawned. Of those, 82 percent of people aged under 25 yawned, compared with 60 percent of people aged between 25 and 49, and 41 percent of people aged over 50. Dr Elizabeth Cirulli, assistant professor of medicine at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, led the study. She said, “This is the first study to look at a large number of factors. It is the largest study, when it comes to the number of people participating, till now.” She said she did not know why contagious yawning reduced with age. Dr Cirulli added that although age was the most important predictor(预测器) of contagious yawning, only 8% of the change in whether or not a participant yawned was explained by their age.“Most of change in the contagious yawning reaction was just not explained,” said Dr Cirulli. Robert R Provine, professor of psychology at the University of Maryland in Baltimore County, said the study was “special” as it was the first time a link between ageing and contagious yawning had been shown. Prof Provine said the findings could help to understand why laughing and coughing were so contagious. He added, “Contagious acts such as yawning and laughing remind us that we are often mindless to control our behaviour.” 32. Why do the researchers carry out studies on yawning? A. To stop yawning from spreading. B. To find out yawning is a born activity. C. To deal with some mental illnesses. D. To help prevent people from yawning. 33. What can we learn from the study on yawning? A. The study lasted for 3 minutes. B. Age has the most important influence on contagious yawning. C. People with mental disease are more likely to yawn when others do. D. A 15-year-old boy is more likely to yawn than a 50-year-old man. 34. Which of the following is Professor Provine’s opinion? A. The study is so far the largest one as for the number of people participating. B. Aging and contagious yawning are closely related. C. People are often influenced by contagious acts without knowing it. D. Factors besides age also have an effect on contagious yawning. 35. What is the best title of the passage? A. New paths for treatment of mental disorders. B. Ageing and contagious yawning. C. Influences of contagious yawning on people. D. Opinions of professors on contagious yawning. 第二节 补全短文(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Does failure really exist? If you believe you have failed, then you have.

M: Well, I’d like to, but I don’t know much about the situation at the moment… you know, about schools and all that. But I hope to move the family out there in a couple of months’ time. I don’t think I want to spend a year and a half out there on my own… I mean, without Rachel and the kids. I mean, I don’t see that much of them now as it is. W: Yeah. Well, that’s the way it is normally in our company, I suppose. M: Yeah. Well, we’ll see. Let me pay for the coffee. W: No, no. I’ll pay. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17.

On graduation day at Chapman University, little did Judy know she’d soon be the center of attention.When Marty’s name was called, his mom helped wheel him to the front, took a picture with Marty as he received his diploma and then over the loudspeaker, a voice made an announcement (宣布): The university was giving Judy an honorary MBA. “I cannot believe it. I’m proud of my son and touched to be honored,” said Judy with happy tears. To Marty, there was no doubt his mom, a retired elementary school teacher with a business degree, deserved (应得) to get her honorary MBA. Every day, Judy would sit by Marty in class, taking notes, raising her hand so he could answer questions, and silently filling in his answers on test days. Perhaps just as important, Judy gave Marty courage. At first, Marty wasn’t sure how the classroom would go for him. “But after a little while we found that by working together we could achieve a great deal,” Marty says. Over the past two years, the mother and the son had joked that Judy was putting in enough work to get her own degree. So during a meeting with the university president, Marty asked if his mother could get an honorary MBA. The president was totally on board and the school members even kept their plan very dark to make it a surprise. Marty encourages anyone in a similar situation to his to keep up hope.“Just keep an open mind, and you can start to see your difficulties as a chance to grow in your life,” he says. 24. Hearing the announcement, Judy felt _____. A. disturbed B. surprised C. satisfied D. lucky 25. What’s Marty’s attitude towards Judy’s honorary MBA? A. She should have it. B. She deserved better. C. It’ll set a good example. D. It was a dream come true. 26. What did it mean when Judy raised her hand in class? A. Judy needed the teachers to repeat everything. B. Judy had some questions to ask. C. Marty wanted to have a rest. D. Marty wanted to answer. 27. How did the school act on Marty’s suggestion? A. They disagreed at first. B. They developed a secret plan. C. They talked about it with Judy. D. They held meetings to discuss it. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。为了使四肢瘫痪的Marty完成毕业，他的母亲陪他一起上课，在Marty获得毕业证书的那天，他的母亲也被授予了荣誉学位。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I cannot believe it.(我简直不敢相信)”可知，听到宣布之后，Judy感到非常吃惊。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To Marty, there was no doubt his mom, a retired elementary school teacher with a business degree, deserved (应得) to get her honorary MBA.(对Marty来说，他的母亲是一位退休的小学教师，拥有商学学位，毫无疑问，她理应获得荣誉MBA学位)”可知，Marty认为Judy应该获得该荣誉。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Every day, Judy would sit by Marty in class, taking notes, raising her hand so he could answer questions, and silently filling in his answers on test days.(每天，Judy都会在课堂上坐在Marty旁边，做笔记，举手让他回答问题，在考试的日子里默默地填写他的答案)”可知，Judy在课堂上举手意味着Marty想要回答问题。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The president was totally on board and the school members even kept their plan very dark to make it a surprise.(校长完全同意，学校成员甚至把他们的计划保密，使它成为一个惊喜)”可知，对于Marty的提议，学校的反应是制定了一个秘密计划给Judy一个惊喜。故选B。 C Do you want to find a job that you just need to sit and sleep on a sofa? It is ridiculous, but it happens. 26-year-old Anna Cherdantseva, from the city of Ufa, is a full-time sofa tester, spending up to 10 hours every day trying out new sofas for comfort and safety. Last month, Russian furniture giant MZ5 Group announced that it was taking application for a new position—full time sofa tester. Although all new products are tested in a specialized laboratory, management decided that in order to better meet the needs of consumers it needed some feedback on real-life use of its sofas. In just a few days, MZ5 received over 5,000 job applications from people eager to spend most of their time sitting and lying on sofas. “We were selecting candidates in several stages,” MZ5 Group spokesperson Anastasia Russkih said, “Initially we checked their resumes (简历), and then we let them tell us why they wanted the job.” Eventually, the furniture company shortlisted just 7 candidates, among whom Anna Cherdantseva, a 26-year-old marketing expert, proved to be the most suitable for the job. “I felt extreme competition, and it was a real fight for my dream job,” Anna said after getting selected. “I have a lot of ideas for improving the sofas, but I would prefer not to talk about them for now. I believe it will all work out between me and the sofas.” Despite describing herself as an active person, Cherdantseva says that spending about 10 hours a day sitting on sofas doesn’t sound bad at all. “Of course I will spend a lot of time on new sofas. The more time I spend on them, the better it will be for my work,” she told reporters. Anna Cherdantseva is currently on a three month probation (试用期) at MZ5, but the company claims that as long as she proves to be up to the task, they plan to offer her a permanent (长期的) position as a sofa tester. The young woman will receive a monthly salary of 56, 000 rubles ($1,000) for the first three months. It’s not so bad about the job. 28. Why did MZ5 Group want a sofa tester? A. Because it wants to satisfy its consumers better. B. Because it wants to save money by doing that. C. Because Anna Cherdantseva applied for the job. D. Because its products need to be tested. 29. What does the underlined word “feedback” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Products. B. Consumers. C. Praise. D. Response. 30. What does Anna Cherdantseva think of getting the job? A. It was very easy. B. It was challenging. C. It was equal. D. It was interesting. 31. What can be inferred from the text? A. The company found it difficult to find suitable employees. B. Anna Cherdantseva has the chance to work steadily for MZ5. C. The company doesn’t give Anna Cherdantseva a good salary now. D. Anna Cherdantseva got the job because of her similar work experience. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了MZ5公司为了更好地满足顾客对于沙发的需求，得到真实的使用反馈，设立了沙发测试员这一职位。Anna Cherdantseva成为比较适合的人选，对于目前在该公司处于试用期的她来说，她表达了对这一工作的期待。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Although all new products are tested in a specialized laboratory, management decided that in order to better meet the needs of consumers it needed some  feedback   on real-life use of its sofas. (尽管所有新产品都在专门的实验室进行测试，但管理层决定，为了更好地满足消费者的需求，它需要一些关于沙发实际使用情况的反馈)”可知，MZ5集团想要进行沙发测试，是为了更好地满足消费者的需求。故选A。 29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Although all new products are tested in a specialized laboratory(尽管所有的新产品都在专门的实验室里进行测试)”可知，所有的沙发新产品都要在专门的实验室进行测试，没有真实的体验者。且根据划线词前文“in order to better meet the needs of consumers(以便更好地满足消费者的需求)”设立沙发测试员这一职位的目的为了更好的满足顾客的需求，由此推知，从沙发测试者那里获得沙发的真实体验感受才能更好的改进以满足需求，由此推知，划线单词feedback应是“反馈”含义，与Response（回复）的意思相近。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I felt extreme competition, and it was a real fight for my dream job(我感受到了激烈的竞争，这是一场为我梦想的工作而进行的真正的战斗)”可知，在她看来，得到这份工作是有挑战性的。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Anna Cherdantseva is currently on a three month probation (试用期) at MZ5, but the company claims that as long as she proves to be up to the task, they plan to offer her a permanent (长期的) position as a sofa tester.(安娜·切尔丹瑟娃目前在MZ5公司有三个月的试用期，但该公司声称，只要她能胜任这项任务，他们就计划给她提供一个沙发测试员的永久职位)”可知，她有机会进入该公司工作。故选B。 D People are less likely to yawn (打哈欠) when others do as they get older, a study has found. Contagious (传染的) yawning is related more closely to a person’s age than tiredness and energy levels, US-based scientists said. Researchers are now looking at whether to catch yawns from other people is a born ability, with the hope of helping treat some mental health disorders. People with some mental illnesses are reportedly less able to catch yawns, researchers said, so understanding the genes that are connected with contagious yawning could open new paths for treatment. In the study, published in the journal Plos One, 328 participants were shown a three-minute video showing other people yawning. Each participant had to click a button every time they yawned. Overall, 68 percent of the participants yawned. Of those, 82 percent of people aged under 25 yawned, compared with 60 percent of people aged between 25 and 49, and 41 percent of people aged over 50. Dr Elizabeth Cirulli, assistant professor of medicine at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, led the study. She said, “This is the first study to look at a large number of factors. It is the largest study, when it comes to the number of people participating, till now.” She said she did not know why contagious yawning reduced with age. Dr Cirulli added that although age was the most important predictor(预测器) of contagious yawning, only 8% of the change in whether or not a participant yawned was explained by their age.“Most of change in the contagious yawning reaction was just not explained,” said Dr Cirulli. Robert R Provine, professor of psychology at the University of Maryland in Baltimore County, said the study was “special” as it was the first time a link between ageing and contagious yawning had been shown. Prof Provine said the findings could help to understand why laughing and coughing were so contagious. He added, “Contagious acts such as yawning and laughing remind us that we are often mindless to control our behaviour.” 32. Why do the researchers carry out studies on yawning? A. To stop yawning from spreading. B. To find out yawning is a born activity. C. To deal with some mental illnesses. D. To help prevent people from yawning. 33. What can we learn from the study on yawning? A. The study lasted for 3 minutes. B. Age has the most important influence on contagious yawning. C. People with mental disease are more likely to yawn when others do. D. A 15-year-old boy is more likely to yawn than a 50-year-old man. 34. Which of the following is Professor Provine’s opinion? A. The study is so far the largest one as for the number of people participating. B. Aging and contagious yawning are closely related. C. People are often influenced by contagious acts without knowing it. D. Factors besides age also have an effect on contagious yawning. 35. What is the best title of the passage? A. New paths for treatment of mental disorders. B. Ageing and contagious yawning. C. Influences of contagious yawning on people. D. Opinions of professors on contagious yawning. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文是关于打哈欠与人的年龄的关系的研究，结果表明年龄越大传染哈欠越少。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers are now looking at whether to catch yawns from other people is a born ability, with the hope of helping treat some mental health disorders.(研究人员目前正在研究被他人传染打哈欠是否是一种天生的能力，希望能帮助治疗一些心理疾病)”可知，研究人员研究打哈欠的目的是希望有助于治疗心理疾病，故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Of those, 82 percent of people aged under 25 yawned, compared with 60 percent of people aged between 25 and 49, and 41 percent of people aged over 50.(总的来说，68%的参与者打哈欠。其中，25岁以下的人中有82%会打哈欠，而25岁至49岁之间的人中有60%会打哈欠，50岁以上的人中有41%会打哈欠)”可知研究结果表明年龄越大传染哈欠越少，可以推知15岁的孩子比50岁的人更容易打哈欠，故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He added, “Contagious acts such as yawning and laughing remind us that we are often mindless to control our behaviour.”(他补充说：“打哈欠和大笑等传染性行为提醒我们，我们经常无意识地控制自己的行为。”)”可知，人们经常在不知情的情况下受到传染性行为的影响，故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“People are less likely to yawn (打哈欠) when others do as they get older, a study has found. Contagious (传染的) yawning is related more closely to a person’s age than tiredness and energy levels, US-based scientists said.(一项研究发现，随着年龄的增长，人们打哈欠的可能性会降低。美国科学家称，传染性哈欠与一个人的年龄关系更密切，而不是疲劳和精力水平)”结合本文是关于打哈欠与人的年龄的关系的研究，结果表明年龄越大传染呵欠越少，可知B选项“衰老与传染哈欠”最符合文章标题。故选B。 第二节 补全短文(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Does failure really exist?

Instead, take it one day at a time and focus on making progress. Be sure that you don’t see difficulties as failures. Difficulties mean only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet. That’s it!

D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何正确看待失败。 【36题详解】 根据上文“If you believe you have failed, then you have. If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t.（如果你认为你失败了，那么你就失败了。如果你认为你没有能力成功，那你就没有。）”和下文“The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born.（当你决定放弃或停止朝着目标努力的那一刻，失败就诞生了。）”可知，空处承上启下，说明失败存在于人的思想中。B项：Failure only exists in your own mind!（失败只存在于你自己的思想中！）符合语境。故选B。 【37题详解】 空处为段落小标题。根据下文“Most people give themselves out without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too difficult or their energy dies down. Don’t do that!（大多数人在没有意识到的情况下就放弃了。他们愿意努力工作以达到他们的目标，但只有当事情变得太困难或他们的精力消失。别干那事！）”可知，本段主要讲述了不要轻易放弃。A项：Never give up on yourself.（永远不要放弃自己。）符合语境。故选A。 【38题详解】 根据上文“They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too difficult or their energy dies down. Don’t do that!（大多数人在没有意识到的情况下就放弃了。他们愿意努力工作以达到他们的目标，但只有当事情变得太困难或他们的精力消失。别干那事!）”和下文“Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.（不放弃，不承认失败，不灰心。）”可知，空处和上文形成转折关系，说明要努力达到目标。F项：Instead, make up your mind to reach your goal!（相反，下定决心去实现你的目标！）符合语境。故选F。 【39题详解】 根据本段标题“Don’t believe in a clear finish line for goals.（不相信目标有明确的终点线。）”和上文“It’s a good idea to set a general timeline, but remember that something will be beyond your control.（设定一个大致的时间表是个好主意，但要记住有些事情是你无法控制的。）”可知，空处说明目标具体什么时候能实现是不确定的。E项：You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.（你永远不能确切地说你的目标什么时候会实现。）符合语境。故选E。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Difficulties mean only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet.（困难只意味着一件事：现在还不是你完成目标的时候。）”可知，D项中的“you have not done enough yet”与“it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet”对应。D项：It simply means you have not done enough yet.（这只是说明你做得还不够。）符合语境，与上文话题一致。故选D。 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节, 满分45分) 第一节 完形填空(共20小题; 每小题1. 5分, 满分30分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 It was coming up on Mother’s Day.
