2.performance [考查名词。句意:这个计划的意图是改善员工的表现。此处employee修饰名词作定语,意为“员工的表现”,故填performance。]
3.officials [考查名词。句意:人力资源官员说,如果员工睡得好,他们的工作效率会更高。谓语动词say用的是一般现在时的复数形式,为保持主谓一致,主语也应是复数形式,故填officials。]

9.because [考查连词。句意:它估计美国经济每年损失632亿美元,主要是因为工人每晚睡眠时间不超过七个小时。前面句子是结果,后面句子是原因,应填入表示“因为”的连词,故填because。]
10.were found [考查时态语态。句意:兰德公司(Rand Corporation)于2015年进行的一项研究表明,每晚睡眠时间少于七个小时的员工的生产率远低于睡眠时间八个小时以上的员工。members与find之间是动宾关系,因此find要用被动语态,根据主句中A 2015 study by the Rand Corporation showed可知,从句谓语动词用一般过去时,故填were found。]

Ⅰ.阅读理解
At first glance, the business world is no place for young women as my cofounders and I have been told on many occasions. In spite of this pessimistic view of women's opportunity in business, we three collegeage girls with zero experience in business started off with a highly ambitious goal: to start a seaweed farm in North Carolina, and grow as much seaweed as possible to help reduce carbon emissions (排放量) and nutrient pollution from agricultural sources.
In the beginning, our ideas were either ignored or scoffed by the researchers from whom we sought help and advice. But we carried on with our research—if others wouldn't provide us answers, we weren't afraid to try to work them out ourselves. We discovered which species could grow in warmer waters, and we'd identified potential markets on which we planned to put the product. We've spent the last two years setting up the first seaweed farm in NC, applying for a patent (专利) and competing with five final teams in front of the United Nations for $1 million.
Despite all of our efforts,many industry experts remained unwilling to take us seriously. But as often happens in business, the same characteristics we were ignored were, in reality, our biggest competitive advantages. Our age gave us the strength to bounce back after failure, and our experience as environmental scientists,rather than businesswomen, helped us find new marketing opportunities. For every 10 farmers who claimed nobody would ever want to feed their cows seaweed, we found one who was interested. For every 15 cosmetics producers who refused to answer our cold calls, we stuck to retaining the one with an interesting idea for seaweed lotion.
Over the course of our early business development efforts, we have had access to a wealth of resources, programmes, and individuals who work constantly to help us succeed. By staying focused on achieving our dreams, our team has demonstrated that entrepreneurship (创业) is exactly the right place for hopefuls.
1.What was the major cause of their difficulty in starting business?
A.They were women.
B.They were young.
C.They lacked experience.
D.They suffered prejudice.
2.What did they do to make their business successful according to the passage?
A.They expanded their seaweed farms.
B.They experimented on seaweed species.
C.They got their product officially recognized.
D.They consulted the United Nations.
3.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.How they benefited from their weaknesses.
B.How they got others interested in seaweed.
C.How they made themselves more competitive.
D.How they approached potential customers.
4.Which of the following can best describe the three women?
A.Naive and simpleminded.
B.Ambitious and selfcentred.
C.Adventurous and persistent.
D.Stubborn and courageous.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和其他两个同学在大学毕业后坚持种植海草创业的过程,虽然遇到很多困难,但是对梦想的渴望使她们坚持不懈,最终取得成功。
1.D [细节理解题。根据第一段中的At first glance, the business world is no place for young women as my cofounders and I have been told on many occasions.可知,她们被告知商界不适合年轻女性,这是一种偏见,故选D项。]
2.B [细节理解题。根据第二段中的we weren't afraid to try to work them out ourselves可知,她们试着自己进行研究,故选B项。]
3.A [主旨大意题。根据第三段中的But as often happens in business, the same characteristics we were ignored were, in reality, our biggest competitive advantages. 以及下文列举的事例可知,她们知道,自己被忽视的那些特征实际上是她们最大的竞争优势,所以她们利用自己的优势克服了困难,故选A项。]
4.C [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的By staying focused on achieving our dreams, our team has demonstrated that entrepreneurship is exactly the right place for hopefuls.可知,她们坚持梦想,敢于创业,故选C项。]

How to keep healthy
Ten years ago I used to be very healthy.I went to work by bike and I got a lot of exercise at the weekend.I played tennis a lot and went for long walks.In those days,I didn't earn very much.I had a job in an office,which wasn't very good,but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed.
Then,about 8 years ago,I got a much better job.The pay was better.But the hours were a lot longer.I bought a car and drove to work every day,and began to take people out to lunch.And I began to be overweight,too.I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at the weekend,because I just didn't have any time for things like that any more.There was a lot of stress in a job like mine;perhaps that was why I started drinking more than I used to.For example,I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home,and then I started filling the glass to the top.Then I had another glass,and then another.I started smoking a lot,too.I never used to smoke at all.
Two months ago I had a heart attack.At first I just couldn't believe it.“I'm too young and I want to keep healthier,”I said.Luckily it wasn't very serious.I was in hospital for a few days and they did a lot of tests.The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less.He told me to do a lot of other things.For example,he advised me to work less and get more exercise.But I just haven't any time!My job takes everything out of me!
Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job.Perhaps I could do something that I used to do.But if I do that,I won't earn much.I have a family to support.I just don't know what I should do.
注意:1.续写的词数应为150左右;

[参考范文]
Later,I knew one person who really believed in keeping fit. She looked at least 10 years younger.She told me her story.Two years ago,she was overweight because she used to smoke a lot,about 30 cigarettes a day;she never got any exercise and she often stayed at home all day.She never went out,except for shopping.If she had to go out,she only drove a car instead of walking.One day she looked at herself in the mirror,thinking that she was too fat.
But now her story has completely changed the way I live.I've stopped eating meat and have started eating far more fresh vegetables.At first my husband and daughter didn't like the new food.I sold my car and bought a bike.What's more,I've started doing yoga exercise at the weekend.With my encouragement,my husband often goes cycling with me now and my daughter jogs with me in the evening.We've lost weight and we are much healthier than we used to be.
