10、项填在题卡上将该项涂黑。 AMany of the worlds most people were once successful failures. Here are the stories of a few of them.Abraham Lincoln(1809-1865)Abraham Lincoln was one of Americas greatest leaders, taking the country through the Civil War(from 1860 to 1865). However, his life was never easy. He started
11、numerous businesses that failed, he went bankrupt twice, and was defeated in 26 campaigns for public office. He later said, “My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.”Vincent Van Gogh(1853-1890)Van Gogh is one of the most famous and influential p
12、ainters in the history of Western Art. Hes renowned for paintings such as The Starry Night. The potato Eaters and Sunflowers. However, during his lifetime, Van Gogh sold only one painting for a very small amount of money. Despite this, he carried on painting, something even going without food so he
13、could complete his collection of over 800 known works.Albert Einstein(1879-1955)Albert Einstein won the Noble Prize in Physics in 1921. However, he wasnt always considered a “genius”. He didnt speak until he was four, and couldnt read until he was seven. His teachers and parents thought he was slow,
14、 so he was expelled from school and couldnt get into the Zurich Polytechnic School. He later famously said, “Success is failure in progress.”Stephen King(born 1947)Stephen King is one of the best-selling authors of all time, but his first book, Carrie, was rejected by about 30 publishers. Eventually
15、, Stephen threw it in the bin, but his wife fished it out and encouraged him to resubmit it, which he didsuccessfully this time!21. Which statement is true about Abraham Lincoln?A. He led the American War of Independence B. He never succeeded in his businessC. He was full of courage and perseverance
16、 D. He is the greatest president of the United States22. Who became famous all over the world after his death?A. Albert Einstein B. Vincent Van Gogh C. Albert Einstein D. Stephen King23. What was the most likely reason for Albert Einsteins dropping out of school?A. He didnt do something as soon as h
17、e could B. He couldnt speak or readC. His teacher thought he was stupid D. He didnt obey the school rules24. What do these people have in common?A. They are all AmericansB. They are known for their writingsC. They were born in the same centuryD. They all suffered failure before they succeededBThe wo
18、rlds population is projected to reach 11 billion by the end of the century.Feeding that many people will be a challenge, and it is further complicated by the impact of climate change on agriculture. That is why some people advocate an unusual way to boost the food supply and feed people sustainably
19、by eating less meat and more insects.About 2 billion people already eat bugs. Mexicans enjoy chilly-toasted grasshoppers. Thais tuck into cricket stir-fries and Ghanaians snack on termites. Insects are slowly creeping on to Western menus as novelty items, but most people remain squcamish(拘谨).Yet the
20、re are three reasons why eating insects makes sense.First, they are healthier than meat. There are nearly 2000 kinds of edible insects, many of them packed with protein, calcium, fiber, iron and zinc. A small serving of grasshoppers(蚱蜢) can contain about the same amount of protein as a similar sized
21、 serving of beef, but has far less fat and far fewer calories.Second, raising insects is cheap, or free. Little technology or investment is needed to produce them. Harvesting insects could provide livelihoods to some of the worlds poorest people.Finally, insects are a far more sustainable source of
22、food than livestock. Livestock production accounts for nearly a fifth of all greenhouse-gas emissions, thats more than transport. By contrast, insects produce relatively few greenhouse gases and raising them requires much less land and water. And they eat almost anything.Despite all this, most Weste
23、rners find insects hard to swallow.One solution is to use protein obtained from bugs in other products such as ready meals and pasta sauces. Not having to look at the bugs and emphasizing the environmental benefits might make the idea of eating insects a bit more palatable.25. What is the direct rea
24、son why some people advocate eating insects?A. Insufficient food supply B. Climate changeC. The rapid increase of population D. Insects high nutrition26. From the passage, we can infer that .A. eating insects is healthier than eating meatB. eating insects is popular among westernersC. eating insects
25、 can help people lose weightD. eating insects causes less damage to the environment27. How can we make it more acceptable to eat insects?A. By closing your eyes when eating insectsB. By eating insects together with other foodC. By putting insects nutrients into other food productsD. By considering t
26、he environmental benefits of eating insectsCEvery day we are exposed to images, videos, music and news. In this age of visual and aurditory(听觉的) hyper-stimulation (过渡刺激的), the medium of radio is making a great comeback. “Were at the beginning of a golden age of audio,” said US-based podcaster（播客）Ale
27、x Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald. In the last month alone, 15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast. These statistics, released by Edison Research, show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present days digital podcast format. The term “podc
28、ast” was invented in 2004, but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years. With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smartphones and tablets, podcast sales have jumped.The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatform delivery and on-demand capabilities ( 功能).
29、 You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when youre walking to the shops, waiting in a queue or riding the subway. Similar to television shows, podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week.Donna Jackson, 22, Sydney University media graduate, listens to p
30、odcasts two or three times a week, via iTurns. “I listen while Im wandering around the house doing something else. It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable And its an easy way of keeping in touch with whats going on in the rest of the world,” she said, “I mainly listen to BBC podcasts,
31、but recently Ive also been listening to This American Life and Serial. They have a special skill to really draw you in.”Unlike television and music, the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers. Blumberg says this owes to the podcasts ability “to create close relationshi
32、p and emotional connection.” Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust, majoring in social work and arts, agrees. “When youre listening, it feels as if the voice of the podcasts storyteller is talking directly to you. Its comforting,” said Proust.It seems the age-old tradition of verbal storytell
33、ing is very much alive and well.28. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that.A. traditional broadcast has come back B. Americans love listening to the radio C. podcasts have become very popular today D. smartphones sell well because of podcasts29. The writer mentions Donna Jackson mainly to_
34、.A. tell how young people relax themselves B. explain why young people like podcastsC. introduce what programs podcasts are presentingD. show how popular podcasts are presenting30. Paragraph 5 is mainly about.A. the influence of radiosB. the advantage of podcastsC. readers impression on radiosD. peo
35、ples reaction to the medium31. What is probably the best title of the passage?A. Return of RadioB. Opinions of PodcastC. Features of RadioD. Technology of PodcastDCrown shyness(树冠羞避）is a mysterious natural phenomenon in which the crowns of some tree species do .not touch each other, but get separate
36、d by a gap clearly visible from ground level. The effect usually occurs between trees of the same species, but has also been observed between trees of different species. There are many theories going around, most of which make sense, but no one has been able to prove without the shadow of a doubt wh
37、y some trees avoid touching each other. In his 1955 book Growth Habits of the Eucalypts，Australian forester M. R. Jacobs writes that the growing tips of the trees are sensitive to abrasion (擦伤），which results in crown shyness phenomenon. This theory was also supported by Dr Miguel Franco. Some experi
38、ments have shown that if trees displaying crown shyness are artificially prevented from swaying(摇摆） in the wind and touching each other, they gradually fill up the gaps between them. But while the above theory is arguably the most widespread, its certainly not the only one. Some scientists have sugg
39、ested that crown shyness is a mechanism to stop the spreading of leaf-eating insects. These pests have been knownto work together and create stractures that extend up to 10 cm off of tree branches, in order to reach other plants,so the gaps are thetrees natural defense method. One Malaysian scholar
40、studied many trees, but found no traces of abrasions, despite their clear crown shyness. Instead, he suggests that the growing tips of the trees were sensitive to light levels and stopped growing when they got too close to other trees. Plants are able to sense how close they are to other plants and
41、in order to get more light, they give off some chemical to stop other trees from growing too close. Whatever the reason, one thing is for sure, plants are more intelligent than people.32. What can we know about crown shyness?A. It can cause abrasion between trees.B. It only happens between the same
42、species.C. It has been discovered for only half a century.D. No agreement has been reached about its real cause.33. What will happen if trees showing crown shyness are stopped from swaying?A. The gaps between the trees will grow wider.B. The trees will stop growing and even die.C. The gaps between t
43、he trees will remain the same.D. The crown shyness phenomenon will disappear.34. What does the underlined word “mechanism” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Tip.B.Theory.C.Way.D.Plan，35. Which statement might the Malaysian scholar agree with?A. Some insects stop trees growing too close.B. Trees compet
44、e with their neighbors for light.C. Trees wont touch each other to avoid diseases.D. Trees have special ways to attack others.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中存两项为多余选项。The average computer user has between 5 and 15 username/password combinations to log in different kinds of accou
45、nts. Some demand you use a specific number of symbols and digits, while others require you to change your password every 60 days. The feeling of confusion resulting from memorizing these login information has grown so common that it actually has a name: password fatigue(疲劳).Having to remember so man
46、y different passwords is annoying, but it can also be dangerous. Because it is virtually impossible to remember a unique password for each of these accounts, many people leave handwritten lists of usernames and passwords on or next to their computers. _36 While these practices make it easier to reme
47、mber login information, they also make it easier for thieves to hack into accounts.Single Sign-On (SSO) confirmation and password management software can help solve this problem. With SSO, users only need to remember one password to login to the main system. 37 SSO software is typically used by larg
48、e companies, schools, or libraries. 38 If a user loses or forgets the password required to log in to SSO software, the user will then lose access to all of the applications linked to the SSO account. Users who rely on password management software face the same problems.Although most websites or netw
49、ork systems allow users to recover or change lost passwords by providing email addresses or answering a prompt（提示）, this process can waste time and cause further frustration. What is more, recovering a forgotten password is only a temporary solution. _39 Some computer scientists have suggested compu
50、ters rely on biometrics(生物测定学). _40The use of biometrics raises questions concerning privacy and can also be expensive to practice.Software engineers and computer security experts are still searching for the cure to password fatigue. Until they find the perfect solution, however, everyone will simpl
51、y have to rely on the password system currently in place.A. It does not address the larger problem of password fatigue.B. These software programs have been built into many major web browsers.C. The problem with password management software makes users feel powerless.D. The SSO software then automati
52、cally logs the user in to other accounts within the system.E. However, SSO confirmation and password management software also have drawbacks.F. This is a method of recognizing human users based on unique traits, such as fingerprints, voice, or DNA.G. Others solve this problem by using the same passw

Id been 41to find a seat
54、because I had got in at the first station. In a few minutes, the seats were all 42, and many other people had to stand in the jam-packed aisles(走廊).One of them was a little girl.

And then, I began to think instead, “Why hadnt I offered it to her even earlier? What was _57me?”Somehow, the gift of gratitude she given me was far beyond the slight discomfort. It
