In addition to tigers, there are also bears, deer, wolves, birds, etc. Location: In Madhya Pradesh state, almost 200 kilometers northeast of Jabalpur. The nearest village is Tala, which is the access point of the park. Opening Hours and Safari(游猎) Times Safaris operate twice a day, starting at dawn until late morning, and mid afternoon until sunset. The best time to visit the park is early in the morning or after 4 p.m to spot the animals. The park is closed from July 1 to September 30 due to the monsoon season(季风季节). Bandhavgarh Zones Bandhavgarh is divided into three main zones: Tala(the park’s best zone, with the most tigers), Magdhi(the second best zone to see tigers), and Khitauli(scenic and less visited, although tiger sightings do occur there; particularly good for birding). Entry Fees and Charges for Jeep Safaris Bandhavgarh has become expensive to visit in recent years. Entry fees have increased since October 2014. When going on a safari, separate fees must be paid for park entry and jeep hire. Entry tickets are priced per vehicle(up to six people). For 2015-16, park entry tickets cost as follows: Tala Zone: 2,400 rupees for Indians, 4,800 rupees for foreigners.(Up to six people) Other Zones: 1,200 rupees for Indians, 2,400rupees for foreigners.(Up to six people) Jeep Hire Expect to pay about 2,200 rupees to hire a jeep, in addition to the entry cost. This can be done at the park entrance. All hotels can arrange jeep hire and tours, but at a higher rate. It’s much less trouble though. Besides, unlike many national parks in India, it’s possible to take private vehicles into Bandhavgarh. 36. What is Bandhavgarh National Park most famous for? A. Lots of tigers. B. Beautiful birds. C. Species of bears. D. A number of wolves. 37. When can you visit the park? A. In July. B. In June. C. In September. D. In August. 38. What do we know about Bandhavgarh Zones? A. Khitauli is frequently visited. B. Magdhi has attractive scenery. C. Magdhi is good for bird-watching. D. Tala is probably the most popular zone. 39. How much should five Americans pay for entry fees to visit Magdhi Zone? A. 1,200 rupees B. 2,400 rupees C. 4,800 rupees D. 6,000 rupees 40. Which of the following statements is True about jeep hire in the park? A. Tourists can only hire a jeep from the park. B. Hiring jeeps from hotels costs less money. C. Tourists don’t have to hire jeeps. D. Jeep hire fees are included in the entry cost. B No one can accuse Howard Schultz of inaction since he returned as chief executive of Starbucks, the firm he built into a multinational only to watch it stumble under his successor. Barely a month has gone by over the past year without the firm announcing some new initiative or other. The latest came on February 17th in New York, when Mr Schultz unveiled Via, an instant coffee which, he claims, tastes just as good as Java brewed in the shop by one of the firm’s baristas (咖啡师). Mr Schultz hopes to win a share of the $17 billion or so the world spends on instant coffee — a product which, he sniffs, has not improved in decades. Starbucks itself has spent 20 years pursuing the holy grail of an instant coffee that tastes as good as the fresh stuff. Don Valencia, the firm’s first head of research and development, who created the blended and frozen frappuccino drinks that earn Starbucks $2 billion a year, could never find a way to nail down an instant formula he had developed at home. When Mr Schultz returned as chief executive, he noticed that there had been some technological advances, allowing finer grinding, for example. So he tasked the R&D team to repeat the recently deceased (亡故的)Valencia’s experiments, and found that “we had broken the code”. The name Via is a hat-tip to Valencia—though during development it was known as Java (just stir). Starbucks says it has patents that should fast deter competitors from quickly replicating Via, which will go on sale in some American stores next month. The opportunity may, however, be biggest in other countries: in Britain over 80% of coffee sold is instant, compared with just 10% in America. Assuming Starbucks drinkers decide that Via tastes good, the company will have to get the price right. At first, it will come in packets of 12 or 3 individual servings, for $3 and 98 cents respectively. That is much more than other instant coffee, but much less than a cup of coffee at one of Starbucks’ stores. The risk is that that would encourage customers to visit Starbucks less often and start making their own cup of instant. That the firm’s existing customers may abandon counter service, a trend is already gathering pace with the recession. For the first time in Starbucks’ history, same-store sales have fallen. Mr Schultz has had to accelerate the store-closure programme that he had started in order to correct the over-expansion which prompted his return to the helm. To keep customers coming to remaining outlets, he wants to experiment with discounts such as “cheap” combination meals of a drink and food. He also wants a visit to Starbucks shops to be a uniquely uplifting experience. Improving the smell in stores by changing the cheese used in breakfast sandwiches was a start. But ensuring that staff are enthusiastic will be especially difficult when jobs are disappearing. Mr Schultz remains hostile to unions but has decided to maintain the firm’s popular health benefits, while cutting his own pay. Will it all be enough? So far, investors seem sceptical: Starbucks’ share price remains barely a quarter of its all-time high in 2006. 41. The reason why the author maintains that Howard Schultz should not be blamed of inaction is most probably because ________. A. he would not allow his successor to destroy Starbucks. B. Starbucks spent the entire last year developing the new instant coffee. C. the new instant coffee is of the same quality as that brewed in the shop. D. he launched the new instant coffee after his return. 42. The word “hat-tip” (Line 8, Paragraph 2) most probably means ________. A. reward. B. achievement. C. surprise. D. tribute. 43. The risk of launching the instant coffee Via is that ________. A. it can be quickly imitated by market competitors. B. customers may visit Starbucks store less often. C. it may fail to cater to customers’ taste. D. the high price will prohibit people from mass purchase. 44. From the text, which of the following was a common practice in Starbucks before? A Starbucks hired baristas to guarantee the quality of the coffee brewed. B. Starbucks was a major player in the market of instant coffee. C. Starbucks provided “combination meals” with fair discounts. D. In Starbucks, employees had a high pressure of losing jobs. 45. The author’s attitude towards Schultz’s new measures seems to be ________. A. biased. B. critical. C. objective. D. pessimistic. C Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins. People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions(排放) vehicles”, but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators(发电机). Generators are fueled by something--usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal (地热) plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something. In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likely coal-burning cars. It’s just because the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not. It's as if the California Greens are covering their eyes—“If I can't see it, it's not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat—at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc. A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far—so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes or geothermal, or hydro or wind or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don't use much of those energy sources. In addition electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot. 46. What does “clueless” mean in paragraph 2? A. People see the California Greens everywhere. B. People there have no idea that so far electricity mainly comes from burning coal, oil, etc. C. People in California love to have their roofs covered with solar cells. D. People in California love to talk about zero-emissions vehicles. 47. What is the main idea of the text? A. Electric cars are not clean at all. B. Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones. C. People cast doubts on electric cars’ batteries. D. Gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle. 48. The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run ________. A. not less than 25 miles B. as far as 50 miles C. as far as 25 miles D. not more than 25 miles 49. According to the text, electric cars ________. A. are more environmentally friendly B. burn more fuel than gas-powered ones C. are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated D. are poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill 50. It can be inferred from the text that ________. A. being green is good and should be encouraged in communication B. electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins C. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment D. electric cars are not clean because we get electricity mainly by burning something D Many public figures from IT, show business, and sports have joined the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise money for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (肌萎缩性侧索硬化) research. A number of international famous people have already taken the challenge, including Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon.com founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, and Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook. Troubled musician Justin Bieber even challenged US President Barrack Obama. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge requires that participants pour a bucket of ice water on themselves and then post a video of it on social media while nominating one or more people to do the same within 24 hours. People who fail to take the challenge will have to donate $100 to The ALS Association, which advocates finding treatment and a cure for ALS. And many of those who’ve taken the challenge donated as well. ALS is a rare disease that gradually reduces patients’ muscle strength finally making them become unable to speak, move, swallow and breathe. In North America, ALS is commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, after the star baseball player who died of the disease in 1941 at the age of 38. The best-known ALS patient today is British scientist Stephen Hawking. While most people with ALS survive only two to five years after diagnosis(诊断), Hawking has had the disease for decades. The medical treatment for ALS is very expensive and cannot be covered by most social welfare programs. This creates difficulties for many ALS patients and their families, both physically and mentally. “Due to the ice bucket campaign, many people beginning to know about ALS. With more people aware and more people taking part in the fight against ALS, we can calmly work with not only other ALS organizations, but also with medical companies to speed up new treatments for people affected by the disease,” said Barbara Newhouse, President and CEO of The ALS Association. 51. Why does the author mention many famous people in Paragraph 1? A. To stress the popularity of the Ice Bucket Challenge. B. To advise us to learn from them. C. To prove they are generous. D. To introduce the target group of the Ice Bucket Challenge. 52. Paragraph 2 is mainly about the Ice Bucket challenge’s ________. A. influence B. purpose C. rules D. development 53. The person who is nominated for the challenge is required to ________. A. donate $100 to The ALS Association B. watch others videos on social media C. help find effective treatments for ALS D. pour ice water on himself within time 54. What do we know about ALS from the text? A. ALS is fairly common now. B. Lou Gehrig was first cured of ALS. C. It is rare for people with ALS to survive decades. D. Social welfare programs provide medical treatments for ALS. 55. According to Barbara Newhouse, the Ice Bucket Challenge ________. A. makes more people well aware of ALS B. teaches people how to fight against ALS C. makes medical companies help ALS patients D. attracts many people to join ALS organizations 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共35分） 第三部分：写作（共两节；满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） I was still a fresh graduate from high school; I got a chance to work. During my first day of work, I came early. I was the first one to arrive in the office. Perhaps it was due to excitement. I had performed well in my given tasks. Everything went smoothly in my work. The passion when I started was still the same passion I am feeling until now. Furthermore, I didn't forget to do well in my studies. In fact, I still managed to review my notes, to become active in classes and to score high in tests. I had learned new things as I started working there. Dealing and interacting with people were some of the remarkable learning I had. Moreover, it was also very fulfilling when I had helped my parents diminish their finances in my own ways. It is not that easy to study while working. There are truly pressures in between them. Sometimes, deadlines of the school project and errand(差事) from the boss go together. Sometimes, there are misunderstandings between colleagues. There are just some sacrifices and challenges of becoming a working student. Yet, it is my will and I am very happy with it because I am learning and growing. They say, "You can’t serve two masters at a time." It is possible, but it is a challenge. I know that I can balance studies and work. Moreover, I know that I can still keep my relationships with my family, friends and loved ones. I know that I can still share my talents despite my busy life. I just enjoy everything because every moment of being working student is a truly remarkable experience. 56. What did the author learn from work according to the text? (no more than 5 words) 57. What is the meaning of the underlined word “diminish” in paragraph 2? (one word) 58. Why is it not easy for the author to study while working? (no more than 10 words) 59. Why is the author satisfied with his becoming a working student? (no more than 8 words) 60.

B. Why not? C. What for? D. Yes, I’d like to. 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查情景交际。A. Thanks a lot.多谢。B. Why not? 为什么不呢？C. What for? 为什么呢？D. Yes, I’d like to.是的，我想去。根据答句中Have you come out first in the exam?（你在考试中得了第一名吗？）的疑问可知，问为什么请了吃饭，故用What for? 句意：——今晚我们一起去吃饭。——为什么呢？你在考试中得了第一名吗？故选C。 【名师点睛】 情景对话主要考查英语的日常用语、习惯用语以及各种场合的交际性语言。考生做此类题型时，要从实际出发，仔细阅读上下文，找出上下文之间的联系，抓住交际中的关键点，从而选择出正确的选择项。如本题抓住答句中的Have you come out first in the exam?这个反问，从而得出疑问“为什么请我吃饭？”，从而选出答案。 2. Though small, the country has _____ plants from desert grasses to tropical jungle. A. extreme B. abundant C. artificial D. poisonous 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词辨析。A. extreme极端的；B. abundant丰富的；C. artificial人造的；D. poisonous有毒的。句意：虽然小，这个国家有着丰富的植物，从荒漠草原到热带丛林。根据后面的from desert grasses to tropical jungle可知，植物类型应该是很丰富的，故选B。 3. —Peter has spent too much time on novels recently. —That may ____ his poor grade in the exam. A. account for B. answer for C. apply for D. stand for 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语辨析。A. account for说明，导致；B. answer for对……负责；C. apply for申请；D. stand for代表。句意：——彼得最近花了太多时间看小说。——这也许是他考试成绩不好的原因。故选A。 【名师点睛】 考查动词短语辨析，首先要弄清楚各个动词短语的含义，有些动词短语要多掌握常见的含义，比如本题选项中account for常见的含义有：说明（原因、理由等）；导致，引起；（在数量、比例上） 占； 对…负责。故我们在平时的学习过程中，只有加强记忆，并无捷径。同时，做题时，一定要注意结合句子的含义选出符合题意的选择项。 4. Miss Rice once music in a public school for years and now is an actress. A. had taught B. has taught C. taught D. has been teaching 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：赖斯小姐过去在公立学校教了很多年音乐，现在是一名演员。此题表达的是过去与现在的对比，事情发生在过去，用一般过去时。故C项正确。 5.

Don’t worry不要担心；D. No doubt毫无疑问。由“It’ll be more interesting”可知，妈妈不介意一些朋友来参加聚会，空格处用“一点也不”。故选A。 8. —Dad, you should have taken me to the football match this morning. —I had intended to, but I couldn’t spare any time, I _____ a report. A. had written B. wrote C. was writing D. would write 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。根据I had intended to, but I couldn’t spare any time可知，那个时间我正在写一份报告呢，故用过去进行时。句意：——爸爸，今天早上你应该带我去看足球赛。——我本打算去的，但我抽不出任何时间，我那时在写一份报告呢。故选C。 9. There is no easy way to remember prepositions, as it is one area of English____ the rules seem very irregular.

A. Being praised B. Praised C. Having praised D. To praise 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。答句中省略了has made him in such high spirits recently。因为答语缺少主语，应该用动名词或动名词短语。he与praise是动宾关系，用被动。句意：——什么使他最近这么情绪高涨？——因成功通过考试而被老师表扬。故选A。 【名师点睛】 动名词相当于名词，具备名词的特征，在句中可以作主语、宾语、表语和定语等。动名词和现在分词的构成方式一样，但用法不同，现在分词具备动词的特征，有时态和语态的变化，学习时要注意区分和掌握。 11.

A. when B. where C. that D. which 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查同位语从句。本题考查的是同位语从句，句中的the new cement plant shouldn’t be built near the school.是来解释说明名词proposal的内容的，空格处连接词只起连接作用，无意义，故用that连接。句意：新水泥厂不应该建在学校附近的建议在会上被提出来。故选C。 13. I thought there would be many people at the show, but when I arrived, I found ________. A. nobody B. nothing C. no one D. none 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查代词辨析。句意：我原以为会有很多人来看演出，但我到的时候，我发现一个人也没有。A.nobody没有人；B.nothing什么也没有；C.no one没有人；D.none没有人。no one （等于nobody）一般用来回答who,及含anyone，anybody引起的疑问句。none 一般用来回答how many +n,how much +n及含any+n引起的疑问句。nothing 一般用来回答含anything的一般问句及what引起的特殊问句。根据“there would be many people”可知，我发现一个人也没有。故选D项。 14. ____ of danger in the street at night, the girl doesn’t dare to go out without someone ____ her. A. Warned; accompanied B. Warned; accompanying C. Warning; accompanied D. Warning; accompanying 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。整个句子没有连词，句子已经有谓语动词，所以第一空是非谓语动词，warn与she之间是被动关系，故用过去分词；第二空是with的复合结构，someone与accompany之间是主动关系，故用现在分词。句意：被警告晚上在街上有危险，没有人陪她，这个女孩不敢出去。故选B。 15.

A. whichever B. whatever C. though D. however 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查引导让步状语从句的引导词。句意：作为学生，无论我们已经充分利用时间学习到了何种程度，仍有提升的空间。A. whichever无论哪一个（强调选择）；B. whatever无论什么；C. though虽然；D. however 无论如何。题干中需要的是修饰名词短语full use的形容词，whatever属于形容词性质，可修饰名词，故选B。 第二节：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31-50各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将其涂黑。 Sometimes a certain day has a special meaning.

In a word总而言之。反过来，(与老人家交谈的)那些时刻也塑造了“我”。故选C。 【35题详解】 考查名词辨析。A. tradition传统；B. process过程；C. habit习惯；D. trip旅行。根据上文“Every moment I spend...”以及下文“Those moments of sharing and listening...”可知，本段的中心为“我”与老人家交谈所花的时间，由此推知，在这个过程中，“我”不但了解了学校以外的生活和经历，参与这个过程也使“我”获得了一份礼物，即人与人之间的(情感)联系。故选B。 【名师点睛】 解答完形填空的技巧： 1、可以根据词语之间的习惯搭配，或固定搭配。 2、结合生活，利用生活常识，去做恰当选择。 3、运用上下文对照。解完形填空题时，单独看一句话是找不到正确答案的，需要读下句或者若干句才能明白。所谓上下对照，即在上文和下文中找到与正确答案相同的关键词。因此，在做题时要边读边大脑中储存上下文信息的能力，捕捉关键词。例如第2题，根据下文“I carefully________ the old color on their nails. As I applied new color...”可知，作者是帮助老人美甲，除去旧颜色，涂上新颜色。从而选择出正确答案。 4、词语或词义复现。词汇复现往往会使语篇中的句子相互衔接得更紧密，利用词语的复现，对解题很有帮助。 第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50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 Bandhavgarh National park in India is best known for its amazing setting, as well as having the highest concentration of tigers in India. In addition to tigers, there are also bears, deer, wolves, birds, etc. Location: In Madhya Pradesh state, almost 200 kilometers northeast of Jabalpur. The nearest village is Tala, which is the access point of the park.

The best time to visit the park is early in the morning or after 4 p.m to spot the animals. The park is closed from July 1 to September 30 due to the monsoon season(季风季节). Bandhavgarh Zones Bandhavgarh is divided into three main zones: Tala(the park’s best zone, with the most tigers), Magdhi(the second best zone to see tigers), and Khitauli(scenic and less visited, although tiger sightings do occur there; particularly good for birding). Entry Fees and Charges for Jeep Safaris Bandhavgarh has become expensive to visit in recent years. Entry fees have increased since October 2014. When going on a safari, separate fees must be paid for park entry and jeep hire. Entry tickets are priced per vehicle(up to six people). For 2015-16, park entry tickets cost as follows: Tala Zone: 2,400 rupees for Indians, 4,800 rupees for foreigners.(Up to six people) Other Zones: 1,200 rupees for Indians, 2,400rupees for foreigners.(Up to six people) Jeep Hire Expect to pay about 2,200 rupees to hire a jeep, in addition to the entry cost. This can be done at the park entrance. All hotels can arrange jeep hire and tours, but at a higher rate. It’s much less trouble though. Besides, unlike many national parks in India, it’s possible to take private vehicles into Bandhavgarh. 36. What is Bandhavgarh National Park most famous for? A. Lots of tigers. B. Beautiful birds. C. Species of bears. D. A number of wolves. 37. When can you visit the park? A. In July. B. In June. C. In September. D. In August. 38. What do we know about Bandhavgarh Zones? A.

Barely a month has gone by over the past year without the firm announcing some new initiative or other. The latest came on February 17th in New York, when Mr Schultz unveiled Via, an instant coffee which, he claims, tastes just as good as Java brewed in the shop by one of the firm’s baristas (咖啡师). Mr Schultz hopes to win a share of the $17 billion or so the world spends on instant coffee — a product which, he sniffs, has not improved in decades. Starbucks itself has spent 20 years pursuing the holy grail of an instant coffee that tastes as good as the fresh stuff. Don Valencia, the firm’s first head of research and development, who created the blended and frozen frappuccino drinks that earn Starbucks $2 billion a year, could never find a way to nail down an instant formula he had developed at home. When Mr Schultz returned as chief executive, he noticed that there had been some technological advances, allowing finer grinding, for example. So he tasked the R&D team to repeat the recently deceased (亡故的)Valencia’s experiments, and found that “we had broken the code”. The name Via is a hat-tip to Valencia—though during development it was known as Java (just stir). Starbucks says it has patents that should fast deter competitors from quickly replicating Via, which will go on sale in some American stores next month. The opportunity may, however, be biggest in other countries: in Britain over 80% of coffee sold is instant, compared with just 10% in America. Assuming Starbucks drinkers decide that Via tastes good, the company will have to get the price right. At first, it will come in packets of 12 or 3 individual servings, for $3 and 98 cents respectively. That is much more than other instant coffee, but much less than a cup of coffee at one of Starbucks’ stores. The risk is that that would encourage customers to visit Starbucks less often and start making their own cup of instant. That the firm’s existing customers may abandon counter service, a trend is already gathering pace with the recession. For the first time in Starbucks’ history, same-store sales have fallen. Mr Schultz has had to accelerate the store-closure programme that he had started in order to correct the over-expansion which prompted his return to the helm. To keep customers coming to remaining outlets, he wants to experiment with discounts such as “cheap” combination meals of a drink and food. He also wants a visit to Starbucks shops to be a uniquely uplifting experience. Improving the smell in stores by changing the cheese used in breakfast sandwiches was a start. But ensuring that staff are enthusiastic will be especially difficult when jobs are disappearing. Mr Schultz remains hostile to unions but has decided to maintain the firm’s popular health benefits, while cutting his own pay. Will it all be enough? So far, investors seem sceptical: Starbucks’ share price remains barely a quarter of its all-time high in 2006. 41. The reason why the author maintains that Howard Schultz should not be blamed of inaction is most probably because ________. A. he would not allow his successor to destroy Starbucks. B. Starbucks spent the entire last year developing the new instant coffee. C. the new instant coffee is of the same quality as that brewed in the shop. D. he launched the new instant coffee after his return. 42. The word “hat-tip” (Line 8, Paragraph 2) most probably means ________. A. reward. B. achievement. C. surprise. D. tribute. 43. The risk of launching the instant coffee Via is that ________. A. it can be quickly imitated by market competitors. B. customers may visit Starbucks store less often. C. it may fail to cater to customers’ taste. D. the high price will prohibit people from mass purchase. 44. From the text, which of the following was a common practice in Starbucks before? A. Starbucks hired baristas to guarantee the quality of the coffee brewed. B. Starbucks was a major player in the market of instant coffee. C. Starbucks provided “combination meals” with fair discounts. D. In Starbucks, employees had a high pressure of losing jobs. 45. The author’s attitude towards Schultz’s new measures seems to be ________. A. biased. B. critical. C. objective. D. pessimistic. 【答案】41. D 42. D 43. B 44. A 45. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文围绕星巴克前CEO霍华德・舒尔茨重返岗位后的行动展开，介绍其推出速溶咖啡Via的背景、技术突破、市场定位，同时分析该产品面临的风险，以及舒尔茨为改善星巴克经营所采取的其他措施，并提及投资者对这些举措的怀疑态度。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“No one can accuse Howard Schultz of inaction since he returned as chief executive of Starbucks, the firm he built into a multinational only to watch it stumble under his successor. Barely a month has gone by over the past year without the firm announcing some new initiative or other. The latest came on February 17th in New York, when Mr Schultz unveiled Via, an instant coffee which, he claims, tastes just as good as Java brewed in the shop by one of the firm’s baristas ( 咖啡师).(自从霍华德·舒尔茨重新担任星巴克首席执行官以来，没人能指责他不作为。他把星巴克打造成一家跨国公司，却眼睁睁地看着它在继任者的领导下步履蹒跚。在过去的一年里，该公司几乎一个月都没有宣布什么新举措。最近的一次是在2月17日，舒尔茨先生在纽约推出了一种名为Via的速溶咖啡，他声称这款咖啡的味道和星巴克的咖啡师在店里煮的咖啡一样好)”可知，作者认为舒尔茨不应被指责无所作为，最可能的原因是他重返后推出了新款速溶咖啡Via。故选D。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“The name Via is a hat-tip to Valencia—though during development it was known as Java (just stir).(Via这个名字是对巴伦西亚的hat-tip—— 尽管在研发阶段它被称为Java（意为“只需搅拌”）)”，结合前文“Don Valencia, the firm’s first head of research and development, who created the blended and frozen frappuccino drinks that earn Starbucks $2 billion a year, could never find a way to nail down an instant formula he had developed at home.(公司的第一任研发主管唐·瓦伦西亚创造了混合和冷冻星冰乐饮料，为星巴克带来了每年20亿美元的收入，但他永远无法找到一种方法来确定他在家里开发的速溶配方)”以及舒尔茨团队是在重复巴伦西亚的实验后成功研发出Via，可推断 hat-tip在此处表示对巴伦西亚的致敬，即划线词与tribute同义。故选D。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The risk is that that would encourage customers to visit Starbucks less often and start making their own cup of instant(风险在于，这会促使顾客减少光顾星巴克的次数，转而开始自己冲泡速溶咖啡)”可知，推出速溶咖啡Via的风险是顾客可能会更少光顾星巴克门店。故选B。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The latest came on February 17th in New York, when Mr Schultz unveiled Via, an instant coffee which, he claims, tastes just as good as Java brewed in the shop by one of the firm’s baristas (咖啡师).(最近的一次是2月17日在纽约，那时舒尔茨先生公布了速溶咖啡Via，他称这款咖啡的口感与星巴克咖啡师在店内冲泡的爪哇咖啡一样好)”可推断，星巴克此前的常规做法是雇佣咖啡师来保证冲泡咖啡的品质。故选A。 45题详解】 推理判断题。文章客观呈现了舒尔茨的举措：既介绍其推出Via的突破、为改善经营采取的门店关闭和折扣策略，也明确指出潜在风险（如顾客减少到店、员工积极性问题），还提及投资者的怀疑态度，全文未加入作者个人偏见，由此推测作者对舒尔茨新举措的态度是客观的。故选C。 C Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins. People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions(排放) vehicles”, but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators(发电机). Generators are fueled by something--usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal (地热) plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something. In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likely coal-burning cars. It’s just because the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not. It's as if the California Greens are covering their eyes—“If I can't see it, it's not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat—at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc. A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far—so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes or geothermal, or hydro or wind or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don't use much of those energy sources. In addition, electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads.

In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.说明，电动车一点也不环保，有可能更脏。故选A。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中A gallon of gas may drive your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far说明，一加仑汽油可能让你的汽车跑25英里，但用一加仑汽油发出来的电则不能让你的电动汽车跑25英里，也就是不超过25英里，故选D。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far— so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones.可知，电动车消耗的能源比汽油车要多。故选B。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容可知，电动车所需要的电，是需要通过燃烧煤炭等自然资源的，所以电动车并不如人们所认为的那样清洁无污染。故选D。 D Many public figures from IT, show business, and sports have joined the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise money for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (肌萎缩性侧索硬化) research. A number of international famous people have already taken the challenge, including Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon.com founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, and Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook. Troubled musician Justin Bieber even challenged US President Barrack Obama. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge requires that participants pour a bucket of ice water on themselves and then post a video of it on social media while nominating one or more people to do the same within 24 hours. People who fail to take the challenge will have to donate $100 to The ALS Association, which advocates finding treatment and a cure for ALS. And many of those who’ve taken the challenge donated as well. ALS is a rare disease that gradually reduces patients’ muscle strength, finally making them become unable to speak, move, swallow and breathe. In North America, ALS is commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, after the star baseball player who died of the disease in 1941 at the age of 38. The best-known ALS patient today is British scientist Stephen Hawking. While most people with ALS survive only two to five years after diagnosis(诊断), Hawking has had the disease for decades. The medical treatment for ALS is very expensive and cannot be covered by most social welfare programs. This creates difficulties for many ALS patients and their families, both physically and mentally. “Due to the ice bucket campaign, many people beginning to know about ALS. With more people aware and more people taking part in the fight against ALS, we can calmly work with not only other ALS organizations, but also with medical companies to speed up new treatments for people affected by the disease,” said Barbara Newhouse, President and CEO of The ALS Association. 51. Why does the author mention many famous people in Paragraph 1? A. To stress the popularity of the Ice Bucket Challenge. B. To advise us to learn from them. C. To prove they are generous. D. To introduce the target group of the Ice Bucket Challenge. 52. Paragraph 2 is mainly about the Ice Bucket challenge’s ________. A. influence B. purpose C. rules D. development 53. The person who is nominated for the challenge is required to ________. A. donate $100 to The ALS Association B. watch others videos on social media C. help find effective treatments for ALS D. pour ice water on himself within time 54. What do we know about ALS from the text? A. ALS is fairly common now. B. Lou Gehrig was first cured of ALS. C. It is rare for people with ALS to survive decades. D. Social welfare programs provide medical treatments for ALS. 55. According to Barbara Newhouse, the Ice Bucket Challenge ________. A. makes more people well aware of ALS B. teaches people how to fight against ALS C. makes medical companies help ALS patients D. attracts many people to join ALS organizations 【答案】51. A 52. C 53. D 54. C 55.

During my first day of work, I came early. I was the first one to arrive in the office. Perhaps it was due to excitement. I had performed well in my given tasks. Everything went smoothly in my work. The passion when I started was still the same passion I am feeling until now. Furthermore, I didn't forget to do well in my studies. In fact, I still managed to review my notes, to become active in classes and to score high in tests. I had learned new things as I started working there. Dealing and interacting with people were some of the remarkable learning I had. Moreover, it was also very fulfilling when I had helped my parents diminish their finances in my own ways. It is not that easy to study while working. There are truly pressures in between them. Sometimes, deadlines of the school project and errand(差事) from the boss go together. Sometimes, there are misunderstandings between colleagues. There are just some sacrifices and challenges of becoming a working student. Yet, it is my will and I am very happy with it because I am learning and growing. They say, "You can’t serve two masters at a time." It is possible, but it is a challenge. I know that I can balance studies and work. Moreover, I know that I can still keep my relationships with my family, friends and loved ones. I know that I can still share my talents despite my busy life. I just enjoy everything because every moment of being working student is a truly remarkable experience. 56.

I strongly recommend the worn-out basketball used by the 2010 provincial championship basketball team. Firstly, it witnesses the team’s hard work — its worn surface tells of countless training sessions and intense matches, embodying the school’s spirit of perseverance. Secondly, it unites the whole school: the championship not only brought glory but also boosted students’ sense of belonging and pride. This basketball is more than a sports item; it’s a symbol of our school’s vibrant campus culture and collective spirit, making it a precious part of our 50-year history.
