But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. And the major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Consider these factors when picking your major. Career Prep Choose a major because it will prepare you for a specific career path or advanced study. Maybe you already know that you want to be a nurse, a day trader, or a web developer. Before you declare, take a class or two in the relevant discipline, check out the syllabus for an advanced seminar, and talk to students in the department of your choice. Make sure you’ re ready for the coursework required for the career of your dreams. Earning Potential Future earning potential is worth considering — college is a big investment, and while college can pay you back in many ways beyond salary, this can be a major factor for students who are paying their own way or taking out loans. According to PayScale.com, the majors that lead to the highest salaries include just about any type of engineering, actuarial mathematics, computer science, physics, government, and economics. Keep your quality of life in mind, too — that six figure salary may not be worth it if you’re not happy at the office. Subjects You Love Some students choose a major simply because they love the subject matter. If you love what you’re studying, you’re more likely to fully engage with your classes and college experience, and that can mean better grades and great relationships with others in your field. If your calling is philosophy, don’t write it off just because you’ re not sure about graduate school, or what the job market holds for philosophers. Many liberal arts majors provide students with critical thinking skills and writing abilities that are highly valued by employers. Undecided? Explore your interests. If you truly have no idea what you want to study, that’s okay — many schools don’t require students to declare a major until you are a second-year student. That gives you four semesters to play the field. Exploring your interests will help you find your best fit major — and maybe even your ideal career. 31. You don’t need to feel fearful when choosing your major because _______________. A. your major has completely nothing to do with your future B. you are not limited to only one particular career for your whole life C changing career fields is unavoidable in your life D. you only spend a little time on whatever subject you choose 32. What do we learn about from Para.3? A Your college investment will be all given back to you in the form of high salary. B. Future career earning is viewed as the top concern for most college students. C. High salary will not be worthwhile at the cost of your unhappy office work. D. If you choose engineering-related majors, you are sure to earn high salary. 33. What can we infer from the passage? A. You are advised to choose liberal arts majors for what are provided. B. Worse grades result from poor relationships with others in college. C. Employers like liberal arts majors more than science majors in job market. D. Some students don’t necessarily need to decide their choices of majors upon entering college. 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了选大学专业无需焦虑，并从职业准备、收入潜力等方面给出选专业的参考因素。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life.(但不必担心！你所选的专业不会把你一辈子局限在某一个特定职业中)”可知，选专业不用恐慌是因为不会被限定在单一职业中。故选B。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Keep your quality of life in mind, too — that six figure salary may not be worth it if you’re not happy at the office.(也要牢记生活质量 —— 如果在工作岗位上不开心，六位数的薪水也可能不值)”可知，高薪若以工作不开心为代价是不值得的。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If you truly have no idea what you want to study, that’s okay — many schools don’t require students to declare a major until you are a second-year student. (如果你真的不知道自己想学什么，那也没关系——很多学校不要求学生在大二之前申报专业)”可知，部分学生入学时不必立刻确定专业。故选D。 B Decades ago, my friend Caetlin received a special assignment from the poet Robert L. Hass, who instructed each student to memorize three poems of their choosing from The Norton Anthology of American Literature—not for any urgent exam reason, he claimed, but instead to prepare them for their unavoidable future occasions when you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have. If the task was as a strange one, it’s because the act of memorizing a poem feels curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us encounter poetry at all. When I was in graduate school, working toward a degree in English literature, I mostly limited myself to essays. It was only in my 40s that I began to change my ways. It happened in a flight to Seattle. For hours, I read nothing else but a poem. Sometimes I spoke its lines aloud, my voice masked by the airplane’s thrum. Sometimes I went through the whole poem at once, and sometimes I repeated a single stanza (诗节) over and over, and by the time my plane landed on the West Coast, I had the whole thing, all 40 lines of it, in my head. Because the process is as simple as it is very boring, memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has. But as you run your hands through the rock, the lines at last come together again, and the scattered text transforms back into a treasure. In other words, poetry survives continuously by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different from us, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are. Some of the poems I’ve memorized are already fading, and that’s fine. I know that if I spend a little time with them, they’ll sing in me again. Others keep beating in me like a new pulse. I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become. 34. Why did Robert L. Hass advise students to read poems? A. To become literature professors. B. To prepare for the coming exams. C. To compose more original poems. D. To relieve their future loneliness. 35. Why does the author say that memorizing a poem begins as a crime? A. It’s out of date to recite poems. B. Repetition wastes a lot of time. C. Repetition ruins the poem’s beauty. D. It’s a shame to read poems on plane. 36 How does understanding poetry influence us? A. By broadening self-understanding. B. By refreshing our good memories. C. By helping us survive the hard life. D. By reminding us to forget the past. 37. What is the author’s attitude towards memorizing poetry in the last paragraph? A. Doubtful. B. Reserved. C. Appreciative. D. Critical. 【答案】34. D 35. C 36. A 37. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者朋友多年前被诗人Robert L. Hass布置了一项特别任务——背诵三首诗，以及作者自己后来开始背诵诗歌的经历和感悟。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“not for any urgent exam reason, he claimed, but instead to prepare them for their unavoidable future occasions when you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have(他声称，这不是因为任何紧急的考试原因，而是为了让他们为将来不可避免的孤独时刻做好准备，届时诗歌将成为你唯一拥有的东西)。”可知，Robert L. Hass的目的是为了让学生在未来孤独时有所依靠，以缓解孤独感。故选D。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Because the process is as simple as it is very boring, memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has(因为这个过程既简单又无聊，背诵一首伟大的诗总是开始得像是一种罪过。重复的无聊减少了它所具有的巨大魅力)。”可知，作者认为背诵诗歌的过程中，重复的无聊会破坏诗歌的魅力，因此开始背诵诗歌时就像是一种罪过。故选C。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“In other words, poetry survives continuously by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different from us, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are(换句话说，诗歌通过成为读者的一部分而不断存在。它之所以能做到这一点，是因为它是如此的具体，与我们如此的不同，以至于接受它扩展了我们对自己是什么的感觉)。”可知，理解诗歌可以扩展我们对自我的认识，影响我们对自我的理解。A选项“By broadening self-understanding.(通过拓宽自我理解)”符合题意。故选A。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become(我不会向你保证背诵诗歌会让你的生活变得更好，但它会让你变得更多：更多地接触语言，接触其他思想，也许还有你可能成为的样子)。”可知，作者对背诵诗歌持赞赏的态度，认为背诵诗歌可以让人更多地接触语言、其他思想和可能的自我。故选C。 C Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries. Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they? In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others. A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not. Here’s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.” 38. What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club? A. They’re unfair. B. They’re conservative. C. They’re objective. D. They’re strict. 39. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science? A They think themselves smart. B. They look up to great thinkers. C. They see gender differences earlier than boys. D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs 40. Why are more geniuses known to the public? A. Improved global communication. B. Less discrimination against women. C. Acceptance of victors’ concepts. D. Changes in people’s social positions. 41. What is the best title for the text? A. Geniuses Think Alike B. Genius Takes Many Forms C. Genius and Intelligence D. Genius and Luck 【答案】38. A 39. D 40. A 41. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章由问题“谁是天才?”引入，论述了世人对天才的狭隘定义，提出事实上“天才”有很多种形式，不要让思维限制了我们的“天才”能力。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“It is said that history is written by victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club-women, or people of a different color or belief-they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.(据说历史是由胜利者书写的，而那些胜利者为进入天才俱乐部设定了标准。当俱乐部以外的天才——女性或不同肤色或信仰的人——做出贡献时，他们不会被承认并且被其他人拒绝。)”可知，作者认为那些“胜利者”对进“天才俱乐部”设置的标准是不公平的，因为女性或者不同肤色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承认的。故选A。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief. Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.(更糟糕的是，研究发现女孩们是按照这个信念行事的。六岁左右，她们开始避免那些据说是“非常非常聪明”的孩子参加的活动。)”可推知，女孩容易受到社会信仰的影响，认为自己不适合做“聪明孩子”做的事情。故选D。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.(在一个拥有持续的全球交流的联网的世界里，我们随时随地都能看到天才的出现。)”可知，进步的全球通讯让更多的天才被公众所知道。故选A。 【41题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，结合文章第一段提出问题“Who is a genius?(谁是天才)”和最后一段的“And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance, and simple geniuses, who are able to change the world.(我们看得越多，就越会发现，像性别、种族和阶级这样的社会因素并不能决定天才的外表。正如一位作家所说，未来的天才来自那些具有“智慧、创造力、毅力和那些能够改变世界的简单天才。)”可知，天才不一定是那些有巨大贡献的人，他们也可以是某一方面比较突出的普通人。由此可知B项“天才有多种形式”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B。 D “Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity, ” said the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. I’ve never watched her show, but when a self-made billionaire gives life advice it’s probably worth listening to. Her point is that blind luck is very rare. You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you. If you’re a Chinese, you may already be familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump for a rabbit to run out and break its neck. A book by the UK psychologist Richard Wiseman, called The Luck Factor, argues we can all make ourselves luckier. It’s most about going to a temple to burn some incense in hopes that the gods will give you good fortune, but practical advice you can follow each day. Wiseman conducted an experiment as part of his studies. First he divided volunteers into two groups: those who said they were lucky in life and those who said they were not. He gave everyone a newspaper and asked them to look through it to count how many photographs it had inside. On average, the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs while the lucky people took just seconds. Why? On the second page of the newspaper, a command, “Stop counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper,” was written in big letters. The unlucky people mostly did not spot the message. It’s easy to compare this situation to a young person looking for jobs in a local paper. They might search so hard for one type of position that they miss an even better opportunity. People who are “lucky”, in fact, keep an open mind and don’t go through the same routine every day. In a word, try to turn bad luck into good. Even if you do fall down and break a leg, the time spent at home can be used wisely to study English. 42. Which of the followings most agrees with the writer’s point? A. Success is for those who are prepared. B. Rome was not built in a day. C. All is not gold that shines. D. A good heart defeats ill fortune. 43. What do you know about Oprah Winfrey? A. She became famous through her family background. B. She was very lucky and seldom suffered difficulties in her life. C. She is a British talk show host. D. She became successful by her own effort. 44. The writer quoted the Chinese tale of a farmer in order to show ________. A. man can defeat mature B. luck is your own hand C. bad luck can turn into good D. never waiting for the chance to come 45. From the experiment Wiseman drew the conclusion that ________ A. lucky people are quick-minded B. unlucky people are slow to read C. lucky people often have an open mind D. unlucky people are more creative 46. The underlined word “spot” is the closest in meaning to “________”. A. Discover B. Mark C. Make D. Receive 【答案】42. A 43. D 44. D 45. C 46. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了运气属于有准备的人，介绍了和幸运相关的一项研究，指出“幸运”的人，其实是保持开放的心态，每天都不走同样的路，应该试着把坏运气变成好运气。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段““Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity, ” said the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. I’ve never watched her show, but when a self-made billionaire gives life advice it’s probably worth listening to.(美国脱口秀主持人奥普拉•温弗瑞说：“运气就是准备遇上机会。”我从来没看过她的节目，但当一个白手起家的亿万富翁给出人生建议时，或许值得一听)”推知，作者会同意A选项“成功属于有准备的人”这个观点。故选A。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I’ve never watched her show, but when a self-made billionaire gives life advice it’s probably worth listening to.(我从来没看过她的节目，但当一个白手起家的亿万富翁给出人生建议时，或许值得一听)”可知，Oprah Winfrey靠自己的努力获得了成功。故选D。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Her point is that blind luck is very rare. You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you. If you’re a Chinese, you may already be familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump for a rabbit to run out and break its neck.(她的观点是，盲目的运气是非常罕见的。你可能会幸运地找到一份好工作，但这并不意味着你应该坐在家里等待机会来找你。如果你是一个中国人，你可能已经熟悉了这样一个故事：一个农民在树桩旁等待一只兔子跑出来折断它的脖子)”推知，作者引用“守株待兔”的故事来进一步说明个人努力的重要性，绝不要等着机会到来。故选D。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“People who are “lucky”, in fact, keep an open mind and don’t go through the same routine every day.(“幸运”的人，其实是保持开放的心态，每天都不走同样的路)”可知，怀斯曼从实验中得出结论：幸运的人往往思想开放。故选C。 【46题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“On average, the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs while the lucky people took just seconds. Why? On the second page of the newspaper, a command, “Stop counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper,” was written in big letters.(平均而言，不幸的人花了大约两分钟来数照片，而幸运的人只花了几秒钟。为什么？在报纸的第二页上，一条命令：“停止计数。这份报纸上有43张照片，”他用大写字母写道)”可知，幸运的人只花了几秒钟就发现了这条信息，而不幸的人大多没有发现这个信息。故画线词意思是“发现”。故选A。 第四节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Wang Yi, who can’t walk or even communicate normally, has written eight books with one movable finger. Wang was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫) in Jiangsu Province in 1989. Restricted to a wheelchair as she began to grow up, she even has difficulty eating and bathing. However, Wang and her parents have stayed roseate throughout. Since childhood, Wang’s parents have been telling her to regard herself as a normal person even if she is physically disabled. She practiced performing daily activities repeatedly. With her parents’ help, she learned to live with her physical disability and aimed to be an out-standing writer. Before the age of 17, Wang completed nine years of compulsory education and acquired much literary knowledge. With the encouragement of her teacher, she became more determined to pursue her dream of writing. Literature has become a medium for her to communicate with the world. Sitting in a wheelchair, Wang pursues her dream in her own way. Though she only has one movable finger on her right hand, she has managed to write eight books with a total of more than a million words. “For me, writing is not a tool to make a living, but my necessary life mode. Only when I am involved in writing can I feel complete.” she stressed. Wang hopes that every disabled person can live without discrimination. “The sense of value and dignity comes from the efforts of the disabled themselves, as well as from social recognition, acceptance and equal treatment.” She also hopes that readers can experience the strength of life, the warmth of family and the beauty of the times when they are reading her works. Jidi Majia, Vice Chairman of the China Writers Association commented, “Although Wang Yi has a disability, the spirit shown in her works is positive. Besides, Wang’s lyrics (抒情诗) show a unique understanding about the value of life.” 47. What does Wang Yi suffer with cerebral palsy?(no more than 12 words) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 48. What does the underlined word “roseate” most probably mean?(1 word) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 49. Why does Wang Yi consider writing a necessary life mode?(no more than 15 words) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 50. According to Wang Yi, what matters most for the disabled?(no more than 10 words) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 51. What do you think of Wang Yi? Give your reasons.(no more than 20 words) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】47. She has difficulty in eating and bathing in her wheelchair. 48 Positive/Optimistic. 49. Because it helps her communicate with the world and feel complete. 50. They can live with the sense of value and dignity./They can live without discrimination. 51. She is determined and hard-working. Because she has overcome her disability to write 8 books. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了王怡——一个先天脑瘫但意志坚定的女孩，靠一根手指写了8本书，总字数超过100万字。 【47题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段的句子“Wang was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫) in Jiangsu Province in 1989. Restricted to a wheelchair as she began to grow up, she even has difficulty eating and bathing.(王于1989年出生在江苏省，患有脑瘫。随着她的成长，她只能坐轮椅，甚至连吃饭和洗澡都有困难)”可知，脑瘫使王怡只能坐在轮椅上，甚至连吃饭和洗澡都有困难。故答案为She has difficulty in eating and bathing in her wheelchair. 【48题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据划线词下文的“Since childhood, Wang’s parents have been telling her to regard herself as a normal person even if she is physically disabled. She practiced performing daily activities repeatedly. With her parents’ help, she learned to live with her physical disability and aimed to be an out-standing writer. Before the age of 17, Wang completed nine years of compulsory education and acquired much literary knowledge. With the encouragement of her teacher, she became more determined to pursue her dream of writing.(从小，王的父母就告诉她，即使身体残疾，也要把自己当作一个正常人。她反复练习日常活动。在父母的帮助下，她学会了忍受身体上的残疾，并立志成为一名杰出的作家。在17岁之前，王完成了9年的义务教育，并获得了许多文学知识。在老师的鼓励下，她更加坚定了追求写作梦想的决心)”可知，尽管身有残疾，但在父母的鼓励和帮助下，王怡能够积极乐观的面对生活，且有坚定的梦想。所以，划线单词的意义为“乐观的；积极的”。故答案为Positive/Optimistic。 【49题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段的句子“Literature has become a medium for her to communicate with the world. Sitting in a wheelchair, Wang pursues her dream in her own way. Though she only has one movable finger on her right hand, she has managed to write eight books with a total of more than a million words.(文学成为她与世界交流的媒介。坐在轮椅上的王用自己的方式追求着自己的梦想。虽然她的右手只有一个活动的手指，但她已经写了八本书，总字数超过100万字)”及“Only when I am involved in writing can I feel complete.(只有当我写作时，我才能感到完整)”可知，王怡认为写作是一种必要的生活方式是因为写作是她与世界交流的方式，并且使她感到完整。故答案为Because it helps her communicate with the world and feel complete. 【50题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段的句子“Wang hopes that every disabled person can live without discrimination. “The sense of value and dignity comes from the efforts of the disabled themselves, as well as from social recognition, acceptance and equal treatment.”(王希望每一个残疾人都能不受歧视地生活。“这种价值感和尊严感来自于残疾人自身的努力，也来自于社会的认可、接纳和平等对待。”)”可知，王怡认为，对于残疾人来说，重要的是他们能不受歧视地生活。或者说他们可以活得有价值，有尊严。故答案为They can live with the sense of value and dignity./They can live without discrimination. 【51题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第二段的最后一句“With the encouragement of her teacher, she became more determined to pursue her dream of writing.(在老师的鼓励下，她更加坚定了追求写作梦想的决心)”和第三段的句子“Though she only has one movable finger on her right hand, she has managed to write eight books with a total of more than a million words.(虽然她的右手只有一个活动的手指，但她已经写了八本书，总字数超过100万字)”可知，虽然身有残疾，但她有坚定的梦想，并且用一个可以活动的手指写了八本书，总字数超过100万字。说明她是一个意志坚定且刻苦努力的人。故答案为She is determined and hard-working. Because she has overcome her disability to write 8 books. 第五节 书面表达（共1小题，满分15分） 52. 上海合作组织峰会（SCO Summit）在天津成功举行，你作为一名天津的高中生，有幸成为一名志愿者。请你写一篇短文（120词左右），向来津的朋友介绍天津的特色，内容包括： 1. 天津的历史与现代交融的特色（如海河Haihe River、古文化街Ancient Culture Street、天津之眼Tianjin Eye等）。 2. 推荐一种特色美食或一种文化体验。 3. 表达你作为东道主的自豪与欢迎之情。 Charming Tianjin, Friendly Ambassador: My City, My Introduction Dear friends, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you. 【答案】Dear friends, A warm welcome to Tianjin, proudly having hosted the SCO Summit.

Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. And the major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Consider these factors when picking your major. Career Prep Choose a major because it will prepare you for a specific career path or advanced study. Maybe you already know that you want to be a nurse, a day trader, or a web developer. Before you declare, take a class or two in the relevant discipline, check out the syllabus for an advanced seminar, and talk to students in the department of your choice. Make sure you’ re ready for the coursework required for the career of your dreams. Earning Potential Future earning potential is worth considering — college is a big investment, and while college can pay you back in many ways beyond salary, this can be a major factor for students who are paying their own way or taking out loans. According to PayScale.com, the majors that lead to the highest salaries include just about any type of engineering, actuarial mathematics, computer science, physics, government, and economics. Keep your quality of life in mind, too — that six figure salary may not be worth it if you’re not happy at the office. Subjects You Love Some students choose a major simply because they love the subject matter. If you love what you’re studying, you’re more likely to fully engage with your classes and college experience, and that can mean better grades and great relationships with others in your field. If your calling is philosophy, don’t write it off just because you’ re not sure about graduate school, or what the job market holds for philosophers. Many liberal arts majors provide students with critical thinking skills and writing abilities that are highly valued by employers. Undecided? Explore your interests. If you truly have no idea what you want to study, that’s okay — many schools don’t require students to declare a major until you are a second-year student. That gives you four semesters to play the field. Exploring your interests will help you find your best fit major — and maybe even your ideal career. 31. You don’t need to feel fearful when choosing your major because _______________. A. your major has completely nothing to do with your future B. you are not limited to only one particular career for your whole life C. changing career fields is unavoidable in your life D. you only spend a little time on whatever subject you choose 32. What do we learn about from Para.3? A. Your college investment will be all given back to you in the form of high salary. B. Future career earning is viewed as the top concern for most college students. C. High salary will not be worthwhile at the cost of your unhappy office work. D. If you choose engineering-related majors you are sure to earn high salary. 33 What can we infer from the passage? A. You are advised to choose liberal arts majors for what are provided. B. Worse grades result from poor relationships with others in college. C. Employers like liberal arts majors more than science majors in job market. D. Some students don’t necessarily need to decide their choices of majors upon entering college. B Decades ago, my friend Caetlin received a special assignment from the poet Robert L. Hass, who instructed each student to memorize three poems of their choosing from The Norton Anthology of American Literature—not for any urgent exam reason, he claimed, but instead to prepare them for their unavoidable future occasions when you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have. If the task was as a strange one, it’s because the act of memorizing a poem feels curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us encounter poetry at all. When I was in graduate school, working toward a degree in English literature, I mostly limited myself to essays. It was only in my 40s that I began to change my ways. It happened in a flight to Seattle. For hours, I read nothing else but a poem. Sometimes I spoke its lines aloud, my voice masked by the airplane’s thrum. Sometimes I went through the whole poem at once, and sometimes I repeated a single stanza (诗节) over and over, and by the time my plane landed on the West Coast, I had the whole thing, all 40 lines of it, in my head. Because the process is as simple as it is very boring, memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has. But as you run your hands through the rock, the lines at last come together again, and the scattered text transforms back into a treasure. In other words, poetry survives continuously by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different from us, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are. Some of the poems I’ve memorized are already fading, and that’s fine. I know that if I spend a little time with them, they’ll sing in me again. Others keep beating in me like a new pulse. I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become. 34. Why did Robert L. Hass advise students to read poems? A. To become literature professors. B. To prepare for the coming exams. C. To compose more original poems. D. To relieve their future loneliness. 35. Why does the author say that memorizing a poem begins as a crime? A. It’s out of date to recite poems. B. Repetition wastes a lot of time. C. Repetition ruins the poem’s beauty. D. It’s a shame to read poems on plane. 36. How does understanding poetry influence us? A. By broadening self-understanding. B. By refreshing our good memories. C. By helping us survive the hard life. D. By reminding us to forget the past. 37. What is the author’s attitude towards memorizing poetry in the last paragraph? A. Doubtful. B. Reserved. C. Appreciative. D. Critical. C Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries. Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they? In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others. A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not. Here’s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.” 38. What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club? A. They’re unfair. B. They’re conservative. C. They’re objective. D. They’re strict. 39. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science? A. They think themselves smart. B. They look up to great thinkers. C. They see gender differences earlier than boys. D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs 40. Why are more geniuses known to the public? A. Improved global communication. B. Less discrimination against women. C. Acceptance of victors’ concepts. D. Changes in people’s social positions. 41. What is the best title for the text? A. Geniuses Think Alike B. Genius Takes Many Forms C. Genius and Intelligence D. Genius and Luck D “Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity, ” said the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. I’ve never watched her show, but when a self-made billionaire gives life advice it’s probably worth listening to. Her point is that blind luck is very rare. You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you. If you’re a Chinese, you may already be familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump for a rabbit to run out and break its neck. A book by the UK psychologist Richard Wiseman, called The Luck Factor, argues we can all make ourselves luckier. It’s most about going to a temple to burn some incense in hopes that the gods will give you good fortune, but practical advice you can follow each day. Wiseman conducted an experiment as part of his studies. First he divided volunteers into two groups: those who said they were lucky in life and those who said they were not. He gave everyone a newspaper and asked them to look through it to count how many photographs it had inside. On average, the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs while the lucky people took just seconds. Why? On the second page of the newspaper, a command, “Stop counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper,” was written in big letters. The unlucky people mostly did not spot the message. It’s easy to compare this situation to a young person looking for jobs in a local paper. They might search so hard for one type of position that they miss an even better opportunity. People who are “lucky”, in fact, keep an open mind and don’t go through the same routine every day. In a word, try to turn bad luck into good. Even if you do fall down and break a leg, the time spent at home can be used wisely to study English. 42. Which of the followings most agrees with the writer’s point? A. Success is for those who are prepared. B. Rome was not built in a day. C. All is not gold that shines. D. A good heart defeats ill fortune. 43. What do you know about Oprah Winfrey? A. She became famous through her family background. B. She was very lucky and seldom suffered difficulties in her life. C. She is a British talk show host. D. She became successful by her own effort. 44. The writer quoted the Chinese tale of a farmer in order to show ________. A. man can defeat mature B. luck is your own hand C. bad luck can turn into good D. never waiting for the chance to come 45. From the experiment Wiseman drew the conclusion that ________ A. lucky people are quick-minded B. unlucky people are slow to read C. lucky people often have an open mind D. unlucky people are more creative 46. The underlined word “spot” is the closest in meaning to “________”. A. Discover B. Mark C. Make D.

Before the age of 17, Wang completed nine years of compulsory education and acquired much literary knowledge. With the encouragement of her teacher, she became more determined to pursue her dream of writing. Literature has become a medium for her to communicate with the world. Sitting in a wheelchair, Wang pursues her dream in her own way. Though she only has one movable finger on her right hand, she has managed to write eight books with a total of more than a million words. “For me, writing is not a tool to make a living, but my necessary life mode. Only when I am involved in writing can I feel complete.” she stressed. Wang hopes that every disabled person can live without discrimination. “The sense of value and dignity comes from the efforts of the disabled themselves, as well as from social recognition, acceptance and equal treatment.” She also hopes that readers can experience the strength of life, the warmth of family and the beauty of the times when they are reading her works. Jidi Majia, Vice Chairman of the China Writers Association commented, “Although Wang Yi has a disability, the spirit shown in her works is positive. Besides, Wang’s lyrics (抒情诗) show a unique understanding about the value of life.” 47.
