College is a unique time to discover ____25____ like an ear for poetry, or a keen moral imagination. These may not pay off ____26____, but they are part of who you are. It allows your mind to branch out, grow and blossom. Philosopher Josef Pieper might have said that when students see college exclusively in terms of work, they ____27____ their own humanity. “The point and the justification of leisure,” he wrote, are not that they make it possible for people to “function faultlessly and without ____28____” but rather that they make it possible for workers to remain human. ____29____, Pieper argued, is actually a part of work, keeping you in good working order. He saw leisure as both ____30____ our full humanity and pointing beyond its limitations. When I was in college, one of my professors lived in a dorm as a faculty adviser.

But I saw in his broad curiosity and his comfort with ____31____ discussion a way of life I never before imagined. It was the life of the mind.

D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讨论了大学教育的目的，指出大学不应仅仅被视为工作的跳板，而应是一个探索自我、培养闲暇时光能力的地方。 【21题详解】 考查动词。句意：高校自身也将毕业生就业率、起薪和职业人脉作为主要卖点来吹嘘。A. undertake承担；B. boast吹嘘，夸耀；C. estimate估计；D. access存取，进入。根据下文“as major selling points”可知，学校把就业相关数据当作宣传亮点，对应“吹嘘、夸耀”。 【22题详解】 考查形容词。句意：大多数学生表示，找到更好的工作是上大学的主要原因。A. secondary次要的；B. unique独特的；C. major主要的；D. primitive原始的。根据上文“college exists mainly for the sake of work”可知，大学主要为就业而存在，此处与mainly对应，体现就业是学生上大学的主要目的。 【23题详解】 考查动词。句意：他们想要确保学历能带来更高的收入。A. ensure确保；B. acknowledge承认；C. deny否认；D. convince说服。根据下文“that their degrees will lead to higher earnings”可知，学生奔着高薪工作上大学，是想保证学历可以转化为高收入。 【24题详解】 考查名词。句意：这是一件憾事，因为这种心态完全忽略了大学的核心意义：不在于工作，而在于精神闲暇。A. wonder奇迹；B. shame遗憾，憾事；C. success成功；D. point要点。根据下文“leaves no room for what college should primarily be about”可知，作者否定唯就业论的心态，认为这是不好的、令人遗憾的事。 【25题详解】 考查名词。句意：大学是一段独特的时光，可以发掘自身潜能，比如诗歌鉴赏力、敏锐的道德感知力。A. opportunities机会；B. peers同龄人；C. specialties专业；D. capacities能力。根据下文“an ear for poetry, or a keen moral imagination”可知，下文列举的都是人内在的素养与能力。 【26题详解】 考查副词。句意：这些素养或许无法带来经济回报，但它们是你人格的一部分。A. mentally精神上；B. financially经济上；C. culturally文化上；D. academically学术上。根据上文“salaries”和“higher earnings.”可知，对比功利的薪资收入，精神素养没有金钱层面的回报。 【27题详解】 考查动词。句意：哲学家认为，当学生只从工作角度看待大学时，他们是否定了自身的人性。A. deny否认；B. project规划；C. demonstrate证明；D. include包括。根据下文“remain humanity”可知，只看重工作、忽视精神成长，就是舍弃、否定完整的人性。 【28题详解】 考查名词。句意：他写道：“闲暇的意义与价值，绝非让人机械运转、毫无差错地埋头工作，而是让劳动者得以保有人性。” A. pause暂停；B. flaw瑕疵；C. breakdown故障；D. doubt怀疑。根据上文“function faultlessly”可知，此处用without breakdown表示“不出问题、不崩溃”，形容机械化的高效工作状态。 【29题详解】 考查名词。句意：皮珀认为，休息本身就是工作的一部分，能让人维持良好的生活与工作状态。A. Human人类；B. Salary薪水；C. Degree学位；D.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) For me, I was unaware of pizza’s healing value until I had kids. I adopted my older son, Alyosha, in Russia when he was 7. We had a good start. But one day, when he was 8, something didn’t go his way. He was still getting English under his belt, and, having not won in the matter, he announced, “I want to go back to Russia.” I looked on as he walked out the door. Then I caught up and walked alongside him as he made his way down the street. “It’s far,” I told him. He replied, “I walk.” I added, “There’s an ocean between here and Russia.” He responded, “I take a boat.” Finally, I suggested, “How about pizza?” “He responded, OK.” He never made it to Russia. When my second son came along, the waters of his life with me were roiled in his sixth year, when he wanted to play with a 5-year-old girl in a neighbor’s family. One cold, dark evening, he intended to visit Diana against my wishes. I had quite a time locating him, but I eventually found him standing on a traffic island, tears coursing down his cheeks because he couldn’t figure out how to navigate the crossing. I threw a jacket around him and gathered him into my arms. “How about pizza?” He wiped his tears on his sleeve and sniffed, “OK.” A short while later his persistence was eased by the sweet taste of pizza. Both of these adventures suggested the enduring value of what I call “the pizza cure”. Its beauty lies in its simplicity. By way of example, one of my students recently told a minor personal crisis to me. Nothing I said could pull him out of his marsh of hopelessness, so I acted. I took him to a local pizza joint and watched as he tucked into a pizza. Moments later the clouds had parted and the light shone through. The world once again seemed manageable. To appropriate a well-worked saying, a slice of pizza is sometimes worth a thousand words of comfort. 36. Why did Alyosha want to go back to Russia? A. He was forced to learn English and didn’t want to. B. He didn’t win an award for English at school. C. His learning English was not going well. D. He missed Russia his home country a lot. 37. What does the underlined word “roiled” in the 4th paragraph mean? A. mixed. B. upset. C. quieted. D. lifted. 38. How does the author support the main idea of the passage? A. With three different stories. B. With two stories and one example of subsequent outcomes. C. By arguing with causal analysis. D. By demonstrating various effects of a single action. 39. Which statement is the closest equivalent of the main idea of the passage? A. Just be there for your children, say nothing, and watch. B. Grief and love are inseparable in our lives. C. Lost in sadness, we need others on our way to healing. D. A simple gesture speaks louder than well-versed speeches. 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. A 39. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者通过给孩子和自己学生吃披萨的方式，帮助他们缓解悲伤情绪，体现了简单行动的巨大力量。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But one day, when he was 8, something didn’t go his way. He was still getting English under his belt, and, having not won in the matter, he announced, “I want to go back to Russia.”(但是有一天，在他8岁的时候，事情没有按照他的意愿发展。他还在学习英语，因为没有在这件事上获胜，他宣布：“我想回俄罗斯。”)”可知，Alyosha想回俄罗斯是因为他的英语学习不顺利。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“...when he wanted to play with a 5-year-old girl in a neighbor’s family. One cold, dark evening, he intended to visit Diana against my wishes. I had quite a time locating him, but I eventually found him standing on a traffic island, tears coursing down his cheeks because he couldn’t figure out how to navigate the crossing.(……当时他想和邻居家一个五岁的小女孩玩。在一个寒冷漆黑的晚上，他不顾我的反对，执意要去找Diana。我花了好一阵子才找到他，发现他站在一个交通岛上，泪流满面，因为他不知道怎么过马路)”可知，儿子六岁时，不顾作者的反对，执意去找邻居家的小女孩玩，但却不知道怎么过马路，只能在交通岛上泪流满面，这件事说明他们平静的生活被扰乱了。故划线词roiled的意思是“扰乱”，与upset意思相近。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。作者在第二、三段讲述与大儿子Alyosha的披萨故事，在第四段讲述了与小儿子的披萨故事，在第五段中“By way of example, one of my students recently told a minor personal crisis to me. Nothing I said could pull him out of his marsh of hopelessness, so I acted. I took him to a local pizza joint and watched as he tucked into a pizza. Moments later the clouds had parted and the light shone through. The world once again seemed manageable.(举个例子，我的一个学生最近告诉我他遇到了一个小小的个人危机。我说什么也无法让他摆脱绝望的泥潭，于是我采取了行动。我带他去当地的披萨店，看着他吃披萨。不一会儿，云开雾散，阳光透了过来。世界似乎又变得可以掌控了)”讲述了与一个学生分享披萨的故事。由此可知，作者是通过三个不同的故事来支持文章最后的观点“To appropriate a well-worked saying, a slice of pizza is sometimes worth a thousand words of comfort.(套用一句老话来说，有时候，一片披萨胜过千言万语的安慰)”。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段“To appropriate a well-worked saying, a slice of pizza is sometimes worth a thousand words of comfort.(套用一句老话来说，有时候，一片披萨胜过千言万语的安慰)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者通过给孩子和自己学生吃披萨的方式，帮助他们缓解悲伤情绪，体现了简单行动的巨大力量。故D项“A simple gesture speaks louder than well-versed speeches.(一个简单的举动胜过精心准备的言辞)”与文章主旨相符。 (B) Dining Welcome on board.

B 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章是一份航班餐食菜单，含米其林合作港式美食，本月主打福建特色菜系。菜单品类丰富，涵盖中西菜品、甜品及多样饮品，选用新鲜时令食材。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据Dining中“Welcome on board.( 欢迎登机。)”、DUDELL’S SPECIAL COLLABORATION中“Enjoy our renewed selection of ‘Hong Kong Flavours’ that bring beloved local delights to the skies.( 我们全新推出的“香港风味”系列菜品，将深受喜爱的本地美食呈现在空中。)”以及Chinese Classics中“We are delighted to introduce ‘Chinese Classics’ on your flight today, showcasing the richness and vibrancy of China’s Eight Great Cuisines.( 我们很高兴为您在本次航班上带来“中国经典美食”这一特色服务，展示中国八大菜系的丰富多样与活力。)”可知，文章多处关键词明确表明这是飞机上的菜单，且菜单包含米其林餐厅合作菜品、松露等高端食材，符合头等舱餐饮标准。由此可知，最有可能阅读这份菜单的人是飞机头等舱乘客。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据Chinese Classics FEATURE OF THE MONTH中“This month’s selection comes from Fujian.( 本月的精选菜品来自福建。)”可知，本月“中华经典”特色栏目专门推出福建菜，因此福建菜是本月菜单的特色。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据MAIN中，第三行（粗体）：“Red wine beef with roasted mushroom(红酒烩蘑菇牛肉)”；第四行（普通字体）：“truffle mashed potato(松露土豆泥)”可知，Refreshment和Main分两行呈现的菜品均遵循“主菜（含核心食材）+ 配套配菜”的格式。 (C) Manufacturers of products that claim to be environmentally friendly will face tighter rules on how they are advertised to consumers under changes proposed by the Federal Trade Commission. The revised “Green Guides” warn marketers against using labels that make broad claims, like “eco-friendly”. Marketers must qualify their claims on the product packaging and limit them to a specific benefit, such as how much of the product is recycled. “This is really about trying to cut through the confusion that consumers have when they are buying a product and that businesses have when they are selling a product,” said Jon Leibowitz, chairman of the commission. The revisions come at a time when green marketing is on the rise. According to a new study, the number of advertisements with green messages in mainstream magazines has risen since 1987, and peaked in 2008 at 10.4%. In 2009, the number dropped to 9%. But while the number of advertisements may have dipped, there has been a rapid spread of ecolabeling. There are both good and bad players in the eco-labeling game. In the last five years or so, there has been an explosion of green claims and environmental claims. It is clear that consumers don’t always know what they are getting. A handful of lawsuits have been filed in recent years against companies accused of using misleading environmental labels. In 2008 and 2009, class-action lawsuits were filed against SC Johnson for using “Greenlist” labels on its cleaning products. The lawsuits said that the label was misleading because it gave the impression that the products had been certified (认证) by a third party when the certification was the company’s own. “We are very proud of our accomplishments under the Greenlist system and we believe that we will succeed in these cases,” Christopher Beard, director of public affairs for SC Johnson, said, while acknowledging that “this has been an area that is difficult to navigate.” About once a week, I have a client that will bring up a new certification I’ve never even heard of and I’m in this industry, said Kevin Wilhelm, chief executive officer of Sustainable Business Consulting. “It’s kind of a Wild West, anybody can claim themselves to be green.” Mr. Wilhelm said the excess of labels made it difficult for businesses and consumers to know which labels they should pay attention to. 43. What do the revised “Green Guides” require businesses to do? A. Manufacture as many green products as possible. B. Indicate whether their products are recyclable. C. Specify in what way their products are green. D. Attach eco-friendly labels to all of their products. 44. What was SC Johnson accused of in the class-action lawsuits? A. It misled consumers to believe that all its products were truly green. B. It gave a third party the authority to label its products as environmentally friendly. C. It misled consumers to believe that its products had been certified by a third party. D. It sold cleaning products that were not included in the official “Greenlist”. 45. How did Christopher Beard defend his company’s labeling practice? A. There were no clear green labeling guidelines. B. His company’s products had been well received by the public. C. It was in agreement with the successful practice in the market. D. No law required the involvement of a third party in certification. 46. What does Kevin Wilhelm imply by saying “It’s kind of a Wild West”? A. Businesses compete to produce green products. B. Each business acts its own way in green labeling. C. Consumers grow wild with products labeled green. D. Anything produced in the West can be labeled green. 【答案】43. C 44. C 45. A 46. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了美国联邦贸易委员会提出的改革建议，那些声称对环境友好的产品制造商在向消费者做广告时将面临更严格的规定。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The revised “Green Guides” warn marketers against using labels that make broad claims, like “eco-friendly”. Marketers must qualify their claims on the product packaging and limit them to a specific benefit, such as how much of the product is recycled.(修订后的“绿色指南”告诫营销人员不要使用那些笼统宣称“环保”的标签。营销人员必须在产品包装上对他们的宣称进行限定，并将其限定在特定的益处上，比如产品的回收利用率是多少)”可知，修订后的“环保指引”要求企业对标签的使用更具体化，所以C选项“说明他们的产品在哪些方面是绿色的”更具体，符合题意。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段“The lawsuits said that the label was misleading because it gave the impression that the products had been certified (认证) by a third party when the certification was the company’s own.(这些诉讼称，该标签具有误导性，因为它让人误以为这些产品已获得第三方认证，但实际上认证工作是由该公司自己完成的)”可知，诉讼指控该公司误导消费者，让消费者误以为产品获得第三方认证，实际是自我认证。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““We are very proud of our accomplishments under the Greenlist system and we believe that we will succeed in these cases,” Christopher Beard, director of public affairs for SC Johnson, said, while acknowledging that “this has been an area that is difficult to navigate.”(“我们在‘绿色清单’制度下取得的成果令我们深感自豪，我们相信在这些案例中我们也能取得成功。”庄臣公司公共事务主管克里斯托弗·贝德说道，同时他也承认“这是一个颇具挑战性的领域。”)”可知，通过“没有明确的绿色标签指导准则” 为他公司的标签标注做法进行辩护。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s kind of a Wild West, anybody can claim themselves to be green.(这有点像“西部荒野”式的局面，任何人都可以自诩为环保人士)”和“Mr. Wilhelm said the excess of labels made it difficult for businesses and consumers to know which labels they should pay attention to.(威廉姆斯先生表示，过多的标签使得企业和消费者难以分辨哪些标签值得关注)”可推知，Kevin Wilhelm说“这有点像狂野的西部”的意思是每家企业在绿色标签方面都有自己的做法。 Section C (8分) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” could eventually become less of a baby song and more of an elegy (挽歌). Seeing stars keeps getting more difficult because “artificial lighting is making the night sky about 10% brighter each year,” according to a study that analyzed reports from more than 50,000 amateur stargazers. ____47____ To illustrate the magnitude of the change, researchers gave this example: A child is born where 250 stars are visible on a clear night. ____48____. “We are losing, year by year, the possibility to see the stars, which has been a universal human experience,” said Fabio Falchi, a physicist at Chile’s University of Santiago de Compostela. “If you can still see the dimmest stars, you are in a very dark place. But if you see only the brightest ones, you are in a very light-polluted place.” “____49____,” said Christopher Kyba, a physicist at the German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam. But the satellites used aren’t able to detect light with wavelengths toward the blue end of the spectrum (光谱) — including the light from energy-efficient LED bulbs. More than half of the new outdoor lights installed in the United States in the past decade have been LED lights, according to the researchers. The satellites are also better at detecting light that scatters upward, like a spotlight, than light that scatters horizontally, like the glow of an illuminated billboard at night. Georgetown University biologist Emily Williams, who was not part of the study, said skyglow disrupts circadian rhythms (昼夜节律) in humans and other forms of life: “____50____. And when sea turtle babies hatch, they use light to orient toward the ocean — light pollution is a huge deal for them.” A. Prior studies of artificial lighting, which used satellite images, had estimated an annual increase of 2% in sky brightness. B. That’s a much faster rate of change than scientists had previously estimated looking at satellite data. C. That could effectively bring an end to the all-time popular children’s rhyme. D. By the time that child turns an adult, only less than half of the stars are still visible. E. Migratory songbirds normally use starlight to orient where they are in the sky at night. F. Human beings are not the only victim affected by the disruption of artificial light overflow. 【答案】47. B 48. D 49. A 50. E 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了人造光对夜空的影响以及光污染对人类及动植物昼夜节律、生存迁徙的负面影响。 【47题详解】 上文“Seeing stars keeps getting more difficult because “artificial lighting is making the night sky about 10% brighter each year,” according to a study that analyzed reports from more than 50,000 amateur stargazers.(一项分析了五万多名天文爱好者反馈报告的研究显示，观赏星空正变得愈发困难，因为“人工照明正让夜空的亮度每年增加约 10%”。)”给出10%的年度增幅数据。 B选项“That’s a much faster rate of change than scientists had previously estimated looking at satellite data.(这一变化速度远比科学家此前通过卫星数据预估的要快得多。)”用That指代该数据，承接说明这个增速远超以往预估。 【48题详解】 上文“A child is born where 250 stars are visible on a clear night.(一个孩子出生时，晴朗的夜晚能看到250颗星星。)” 以孩子出生为时间起点举例，D选项“By the time that child turns an adult, only less than half of the stars are still visible.(等到这个孩子成年时，能看到的星星不足一半。)”以孩子成年为时间终点，形成时间跨度对比，直观体现星星逐年减少、光污染加剧，贴合举例目的。 【49题详解】 下文“But the satellites used aren’t able to detect light with wavelengths toward the blue end of the spectrum (光谱) — including the light from energy-efficient LED bulbs.(然而，目前所用的卫星无法探测到光谱蓝光波段的光线，节能LED灯发出的光线就包含在此范围内。)”指出卫星监测的不足，A选项“Prior studies of artificial lighting, which used satellite images, had estimated an annual increase of 2% in sky brightness.(以往针对人造灯光的研究依靠卫星图像，预估夜空亮度年增幅仅为2%。)”先铺垫过往卫星研究的内容与数据，为下文介绍卫星局限做铺垫，前后呼应。 【50题详解】 根据上文“skyglow disrupts circadian rhythms in humans and other forms of life.(光污染扰乱人类和其他生物的昼夜节律)”和下文“And when sea turtle babies hatch, they use light to orient toward the ocean — light pollution is a huge deal for them.(海龟幼崽破壳而出后，也会借助光线辨别方向、爬向大海，而光污染对它们来说是个很大的问题。)”可知，上文指出光污染危害各类生物，下文举海龟例子，E选项“Migratory songbirds normally use starlight to orient where they are in the sky at night.(迁徙鸣禽通常依靠星光在夜间辨别方位。)”先举鸟类例子，并列举例，衔接And后的并列句式，结构一致。 IV. Summary Writing (10分) 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Why Being Sensitive is a Strength There are plenty of traits we take pride in but being “sensitive” is usually perceived as a weakness. It’s used to mean you’re fragile, or just overreacting. The message sensitive people get is that they should “overcome” their sensitivity and “toughen up.” However, sensitivity is largely lasting. Sensitive people are born to process information more deeply than others do, enabling them to notice what others miss, feel intensely, and have a vivid inner life. Such depth yields gifts. The most well-known sensitive gift is creativity. Many artists, musicians, and actors are themselves sensitive people. But creativity doesn’t end with the arts. The same ability translates to innovation. Many of our greatest thinkers and scientists throughout history have been sensitive people. They tend to be deep thinkers who spend more time and energy turning problems over in their heads-and end up seeing more possibilities and solutions. A second strength sensitive people have is their decision-making ability. Such an ability may give them an advantage. In a 2008 computer simulation (模拟) of natural selection, creatures who spent more resources considering their options and comparing them to past results, as sensitive people do, came out ahead long-term compared to less-sensitive creatures. They amassed more resources over time and out-survived others. In the wilderness, that might mean tracking down game when everyone is hungry. In the boardroom, it means steering companies to the top of their industry. But perhaps the greatest advantage of sensitive people is what we call the “Boost Effect”. The “Boost Effect” means that sensitive people get more of a boost from the same things that help anyone. They are energized by any form of training or support. If you’re a sensitive person, you can activate this ability by cultivating a supportive environment around yourself and by seeking out resources such as mentoring, training, therapy, or coaching. If any of this sounds like you, you might be more sensitive than you realize. If so, you have probably felt the pressure to hide it. But that’s a trap. Trying to do so only cuts you off from your gifts. So stop hiding, Embrace it, and show it to the world. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Although sensitivity is often wrongly seen as a weakness, it is actually a lasting strength. Sensitive people possess unique gifts: creativity and innovation, better long-term decision-making, and the “Boost Effect”, which allows them to benefit more from support. Therefore, they should embrace rather than hide their sensitivity. 【解析】 【导语】文章主要论述了敏感并非弱点，而是持久力量，敏感者拥有独特天赋，应拥抱而非隐藏敏感。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ①There are plenty of traits we take pride in but being “sensitive” is usually perceived as a weakness. ②However, sensitivity is largely lasting. ③The most well-known sensitive gift is creativity. ④A second strength sensitive people have is their decision-making ability. ⑤But perhaps the greatest advantage of sensitive people is what we call the “Boost Effect”. ⑥So stop hiding, Embrace it, and show it to the world. 2. 缜密构思 将第1、2个要点进行整合，将第3、4、5三个要点进行整合，用第6个要点进行总结。 3. 遣词造句 Although sensitivity is often wrongly seen as a weakness, it is actually a lasting strength.

Colleges themselves ____21____ their graduates’ employment rates, starting salaries and career networks as major selling points. A majority of students say that getting a better job is a ____22____ reason for going to college. They want to ____23____ that their degrees will lead to higher earnings. That’s a ____24____, because this mentality leaves no room for what college should primarily be about: not work but leisure. College is a unique time to discover ____25____ like an ear for poetry, or a keen moral imagination. These may not pay off ____26____, but they are part of who you are. It allows your mind to branch out, grow and blossom. Philosopher Josef Pieper might have said that when students see college exclusively in terms of work, they ____27____ their own humanity. “The point and the justification of leisure,” he wrote, are not that they make it possible for people to “function faultlessly and without ____28____” but rather that they make it possible for workers to remain human. ____29____, Pieper argued, is actually a part of work, keeping you in good working order. He saw leisure as both ____30____ our full humanity and pointing beyond its limitations. When I was in college, one of my professors lived in a dorm as a faculty adviser. He invited students in for coffee and conversation about anything — literature, science, politics. At that time, I knew almost nothing of his life beyond the university. But I saw in his broad curiosity and his comfort with ____31____ discussion a way of life I never before imagined. It was the life of the mind. Precious few areas of American life are not ____32____ by work. College professors often contribute to the problem. We fly through a hundred slides in a 50-minute lecture. We pride ourselves on how ____33____ our classes are. It’s not easy to make space for leisure within universities that look increasingly like ____34____. Still, at their best, colleges offer an alternative to the culture that ____35____ people solely for their labor. Yes, a college education will help someone earn more in a career. That’s a good thing. But life is much more than work. 21. A. undertake B. boast C. estimate D. access 22. A. secondary B. unique C. major D. primitive 23.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) For me, I was unaware of pizza’s healing value until I had kids. I adopted my older son, Alyosha, in Russia when he was 7. We had a good start. But one day, when he was 8, something didn’t go his way. He was still getting English under his belt, and, having not won in the matter, he announced, “I want to go back to Russia.” I looked on as he walked out the door. Then I caught up and walked alongside him as he made his way down the street. “It’s far,” I told him. He replied, “I walk.” I added, “There’s an ocean between here and Russia.” He responded, “I take a boat.” Finally, I suggested, “How about pizza?” “He responded, OK.” He never made it to Russia. When my second son came along, the waters of his life with me were roiled in his sixth year, when he wanted to play with a 5-year-old girl in a neighbor’s family. One cold, dark evening, he intended to visit Diana against my wishes. I had quite a time locating him, but I eventually found him standing on a traffic island, tears coursing down his cheeks because he couldn’t figure out how to navigate the crossing. I threw a jacket around him and gathered him into my arms. “How about pizza?” He wiped his tears on his sleeve and sniffed, “OK.” A short while later his persistence was eased by the sweet taste of pizza. Both of these adventures suggested the enduring value of what I call “the pizza cure”. Its beauty lies in its simplicity. By way of example, one of my students recently told a minor personal crisis to me. Nothing I said could pull him out of his marsh of hopelessness, so I acted. I took him to a local pizza joint and watched as he tucked into a pizza. Moments later the clouds had parted and the light shone through. The world once again seemed manageable. To appropriate a well-worked saying, a slice of pizza is sometimes worth a thousand words of comfort. 36. Why did Alyosha want to go back to Russia? A. He was forced to learn English and didn’t want to. B. He didn’t win an award for English at school. C. His learning English was not going well. D. He missed Russia his home country a lot. 37. What does the underlined word “roiled” in the 4th paragraph mean? A. mixed. B. upset. C. quieted. D. lifted. 38. How does the author support the main idea of the passage? A. With three different stories. B. With two stories and one example of subsequent outcomes. C. By arguing with causal analysis. D. By demonstrating various effects of a single action. 39. Which statement is the closest equivalent of the main idea of the passage? A. Just be there for your children, say nothing, and watch. B. Grief and love are inseparable in our lives. C. Lost in sadness, we need others on our way to healing. D. A simple gesture speaks louder than well-versed speeches. (B) Dining Welcome on board.

(C) Manufacturers of products that claim to be environmentally friendly will face tighter rules on how they are advertised to consumers under changes proposed by the Federal Trade Commission. The revised “Green Guides” warn marketers against using labels that make broad claims, like “eco-friendly”. Marketers must qualify their claims on the product packaging and limit them to a specific benefit, such as how much of the product is recycled. “This is really about trying to cut through the confusion that consumers have when they are buying a product and that businesses have when they are selling a product,” said Jon Leibowitz, chairman of the commission. The revisions come at a time when green marketing is on the rise. According to a new study, the number of advertisements with green messages in mainstream magazines has risen since 1987, and peaked in 2008 at 10.4%. In 2009, the number dropped to 9%. But while the number of advertisements may have dipped, there has been a rapid spread of ecolabeling. There are both good and bad players in the eco-labeling game. In the last five years or so, there has been an explosion of green claims and environmental claims. It is clear that consumers don’t always know what they are getting. A handful of lawsuits have been filed in recent years against companies accused of using misleading environmental labels. In 2008 and 2009, class-action lawsuits were filed against SC Johnson for using “Greenlist” labels on its cleaning products. The lawsuits said that the label was misleading because it gave the impression that the products had been certified (认证) by a third party when the certification was the company’s own. “We are very proud of our accomplishments under the Greenlist system and we believe that we will succeed in these cases,” Christopher Beard, director of public affairs for SC Johnson, said, while acknowledging that “this has been an area that is difficult to navigate.” About once a week, I have a client that will bring up a new certification I’ve never even heard of and I’m in this industry, said Kevin Wilhelm, chief executive officer of Sustainable Business Consulting. “It’s kind of a Wild West, anybody can claim themselves to be green.” Mr. Wilhelm said the excess of labels made it difficult for businesses and consumers to know which labels they should pay attention to. 43. What do the revised “Green Guides” require businesses to do? A. Manufacture as many green products as possible. B. Indicate whether their products are recyclable. C. Specify in what way their products are green. D. Attach eco-friendly labels to all of their products. 44. What was SC Johnson accused of in the class-action lawsuits? A. It misled consumers to believe that all its products were truly green. B. It gave a third party the authority to label its products as environmentally friendly. C. It misled consumers to believe that its products had been certified by a third party. D. It sold cleaning products that were not included in the official “Greenlist”. 45. How did Christopher Beard defend his company’s labeling practice? A. There were no clear green labeling guidelines. B. His company’s products had been well received by the public. C. It was in agreement with the successful practice in the market. D. No law required the involvement of a third party in certification. 46. What does Kevin Wilhelm imply by saying “It’s kind of a Wild West”? A. Businesses compete to produce green products. B. Each business acts its own way in green labeling. C. Consumers grow wild with products labeled green. D. Anything produced in the West can be labeled green. Section C (8分) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” could eventually become less of a baby song and more of an elegy (挽歌). Seeing stars keeps getting more difficult because “artificial lighting is making the night sky about 10% brighter each year,” according to a study that analyzed reports from more than 50,000 amateur stargazers. ____47____ To illustrate the magnitude of the change, researchers gave this example: A child is born where 250 stars are visible on a clear night. ____48____. “We are losing, year by year, the possibility to see the stars, which has been a universal human experience,” said Fabio Falchi, a physicist at Chile’s University of Santiago de Compostela. “If you can still see the dimmest stars, you are in a very dark place. But if you see only the brightest ones, you are in a very light-polluted place.” “____49____,” said Christopher Kyba, a physicist at the German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam. But the satellites used aren’t able to detect light with wavelengths toward the blue end of the spectrum (光谱) — including the light from energy-efficient LED bulbs. More than half of the new outdoor lights installed in the United States in the past decade have been LED lights, according to the researchers. The satellites are also better at detecting light that scatters upward, like a spotlight, than light that scatters horizontally, like the glow of an illuminated billboard at night. Georgetown University biologist Emily Williams, who was not part of the study, said skyglow disrupts circadian rhythms (昼夜节律) in humans and other forms of life: “____50____. And when sea turtle babies hatch, they use light to orient toward the ocean — light pollution is a huge deal for them.” A. Prior studies of artificial lighting, which used satellite images, had estimated an annual increase of 2% in sky brightness. B. That’s a much faster rate of change than scientists had previously estimated looking at satellite data. C. That could effectively bring an end to the all-time popular children’s rhyme. D. By the time that child turns an adult, only less than half of the stars are still visible. E. Migratory songbirds normally use starlight to orient where they are in the sky at night. F. Human beings are not the only victim affected by the disruption of artificial light overflow. IV. Summary Writing (10分) 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Why Being Sensitive is a Strength There are plenty of traits we take pride in but being “sensitive” is usually perceived as a weakness. It’s used to mean you’re fragile, or just overreacting. The message sensitive people get is that they should “overcome” their sensitivity and “toughen up.” However, sensitivity is largely lasting. Sensitive people are born to process information more deeply than others do, enabling them to notice what others miss, feel intensely, and have a vivid inner life. Such depth yields gifts. The most well-known sensitive gift is creativity. Many artists, musicians, and actors are themselves sensitive people. But creativity doesn’t end with the arts. The same ability translates to innovation. Many of our greatest thinkers and scientists throughout history have been sensitive people. They tend to be deep thinkers who spend more time and energy turning problems over in their heads-and end up seeing more possibilities and solutions. A second strength sensitive people have is their decision-making ability. Such an ability may give them an advantage. In a 2008 computer simulation (模拟) of natural selection, creatures who spent more resources considering their options and comparing them to past results, as sensitive people do, came out ahead long-term compared to less-sensitive creatures. They amassed more resources over time and out-survived others. In the wilderness, that might mean tracking down game when everyone is hungry. In the boardroom, it means steering companies to the top of their industry. But perhaps the greatest advantage of sensitive people is what we call the “Boost Effect”. The “Boost Effect” means that sensitive people get more of a boost from the same things that help anyone. They are energized by any form of training or support. If you’re a sensitive person, you can activate this ability by cultivating a supportive environment around yourself and by seeking out resources such as mentoring, training, therapy, or coaching. If any of this sounds like you, you might be more sensitive than you realize. If so, you have probably felt the pressure to hide it. But that’s a trap. Trying to do so only cuts you off from your gifts. So stop hiding, Embrace it, and show it to the world. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.
