21、理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，共50分）第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。AThere are many people you are well advised to treat kindly: Your childs teacher, your husband or wife, your boss and so on. Until now, that best-behavior-required list has not included your Uber driver, or for that
22、matter, taxi drivers. Old thinking: Hey, theyre here to serve me. I dont have to make a special effort to be nice to them. Dangerously wrong. A recent New York Times story told the instructive tale of a Uber passenger, Hussein Kanji, who says hes really not sure how he made his driver angry. All he
23、knows is that his driver-generated rating went way down and the wait for a Uber car became hours instead of minutes. Beware, Uberians: If youre feeling angry when you slide into the back seat and you give your driver the silent treatment, your reputation may get damaged in the driver-generated ratin
24、gs. If youre among the people one Uber driver described as “generally negative”, watch out. Uber isnt the only front on this battlefield. The ability to rate someones service is one of the successes of the Internet. It helps everyone weed out people with bad attitudes and worse habits. These ratings
25、 should cut both ways. A while back, the auction site eBay made many of its sellers angry when it started preventing them from giving negative ratings to buyers. Until then, sellers and buyers had threatened each other with negative reviews. Too many negative reviews could get you thrown off. Then e
26、Bay shifted the balance of power to buyers. Sellers can still write a bad comment, but the overall rating cannot be anything but positive. Thus eBay has become a place where all is for the best. Think positive! We know that being nice to people all day can be exhausting. Weve also seen people who sh
27、out at those who dont measure up to their expectations for service. Uber is reportedly about to spread worldwide. It is a welcome competitor because it fits the needs of customers in a new way. We know Uber is a two-way street. But drivers who get too picky may end up with no passengers. Everyone, b
28、ehave!41. In general, people think of Uber drivers as people who _.A. they can take advantage ofB. they dont have to be nice to C. are required to be on their best behaviorD. need better treatment from customers42. Negative driver-generated ratings mean that _. A. customers have to wait for a longer
29、 time when using Uber cars B. drivers are too slow to pick up customers C. Uber drivers will never serve those customersD. customers have done damage to Uber cars43. The phrase “weed out” (Para. 6) can best be replaced by _. A. hate B. get rid of C. value D. win back44. The example of eBay in the ar
30、ticle is probably meant to show that _.A. in the Internet age, buyers have always had the advantage of ratingsB. the power of ratings should be given to both sides of a serviceC. the main reason why eBay has become a successful auction siteD. controversy between customers and sellers has only come a
31、bout recently45. The author has written this article to _.A. show that when using services like Uber, your behavior directly affects the service you getB. prove that giving and receiving bad ratings can influence your lifeC. suggest that tools like Uber and eBay can reflect what kind of person you a
32、reD. stress that both customers and service providers should be generally respectful and positiveBMuseum fans with limited time should consider a visit to Ueno Park where a variety of first class museums are concentrated closely together, including the impressive Tokyo National Museum, the National
33、Museum of Western Art, the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, the National Science Museum and Ueno Zoo along with some smaller museums.Museums in Tokyo are typically closed on one day of the week (usually Mondays) and during the New Year holidays (typically December 29 to January 4). If the regular week
34、ly closing day falls on a national holiday, most museums will open on the holiday and close the next day instead.Some museums have extended hours on certain days (typically Fridays), and some offer free entrance to selected exhibitions or on certain days of the month. Most museums allow entry until
35、30 minutes before closing time. Tokyo National Museum Hours: 9:30 to 17:00 (extended hours on some Fridays and weekends)Closed: Mondays (or following day if Monday is a holiday), New Year holidaysAdmission: 600 yen As the oldest and largest museum in Japan, it is made up of five buildings, each like
36、 a separate museum in itself. They house the largest collection of national treasures and important cultural items in the country.National Museum of Western ArtHours: 9:30 to 17:30 (until 17:00 in winter, until 20:00 on Fridays)Closed: Mondays (or following day if Monday is a holiday), Dec 28 to Jan
37、 1Admission: 420 yen, special exhibitions extra This museum displays western art, primarily by European artists. There is no permanent gallery and the rotating (轮流的) exhibits are mostly from the museums collection. Admission is free on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month.Tokyo Metropolitan Art M
38、useum Hours: 9:30 to 17:30 (until 20:00 on Fridays)Closed: First and third Monday of each month, New Year holidaysAdmission: Varies by exhibitionReopened in April 2012, this museum displays all types of art in its six galleries. There is no permanent collection, but there are multiple temporary exhi
39、bitions by various art groups.National Science MuseumHours: 9:00 to 17:00 (until 20:00 on Fridays)Closed: Mondays (or following day if Monday is a holiday), Dec 28 to Jan 1Admission: 600 yenThis museum covers both science and natural history with hands-on physics and robotics experiments and a 360 d
40、egree virtual theater relocated from the Aichi Expo.46. Visitors are advised to go to Ueno Park mainly because _. A. there are many great museums there B. it has one of the best parks in Japan C. it is a landmark building in TokyoD. it is free of charge throughout the year47. We can learn from the t
41、ext that the Tokyo National Museum _. A. is the oldest and largest museum in AsiaB. has the largest collection of artwork in Japan C. has a 360 degree virtual theater D. is full of Japans national treasures48. According to the text, you can visit the _ for free on certain days.A. Tokyo National Muse
42、umB. National Museum of Western ArtC. Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum D. National Science Museum49. The passage is most likely taken from _.A. a tourist guideB. a geographic reportC. a travel journalD. a science textbookCComputer power is moving into the “cloud” networks of data centers that use the I
43、nternet to supply all kinds of services, from e-mail and social networks to data storage and analysis. The rise of cloud computing is rapid and causing huge changes in the tech industry. The old guard is suffering: this weeks $67 billion merger (合并) between Dell and EMC, makers of computers and stor
44、age devices respectively, was a marriage forced by the rise of the cloud. Disruptive (捣乱的) newcomers are blooming: if Amazons cloud-computing unit were a stand-alone public company, it would probably be worth almost as much as Dell and EMC combined. The gains for customers have been equally dramatic
45、. Compared with older IT systems, cloud computing is often much cheaper. It adds tremendous flexibility: firms that need more computing capacity no longer have to spend weeks adding new servers and installing software. In the cloud they can get hold of it in minutes. Their applications can be update
46、d continually, rather than just every few months. Individual users can reach their e-mails, files and photos from any device. And cloud services also tend to be more secure, since providers know better than their customers how to protect their computing systems against hackers.But cloud computing ma
47、kes one problem worse. In the old IT world, once a firm or a consumer had decided on an operating system or database, it was difficult and costly to switch to another. In the cloud this “lock-in” is even worse. Cloud providers go to great lengths to make it easy to upload data. They accumulate huge
48、amounts of complex information, which cannot easily be moved to an alternative provider. Cloud firms also create a world of interconnected services, software and devices, which is convenient but only for as long as you dont adventure outside their universe. Being locked in to a provider is risky. Fi
49、rms can start to tighten the screws by increasing prices. If a cloud provider goes bust (崩溃), its customers may have trouble getting back their data. These risks have already caused a debate about whether the cloud needs stricter regulation. Some European politicians want to force cloud providers to
50、 ensure that data can be moved between them. That is too heavy-handed, because strict rules will inhibit (阻碍) innovation in what is still a young industry. The history of computing suggests that common standards may well appear naturally in response to customers demands just as in personal computers
51、, where it is now much easier to use the same files on different systems. In the meantime, a few commonsense measures can reduce the risk of lock-in. Firms that use more than one cloud provider to host their data are less affected. So are those that keep their most important information in their own
52、 data centers. Consumers can take precautions, too. Some services are better than others at enabling users to move data between providers (Google does well on this score). Cloud computing promises its users many benefits, but dont mistake it for some sort of digital heaven. 50. The author takes “the
53、 merger between Dell and EMC” for example to show _. A. the influence of cloud computing on computer and storage device makers B. the miserable sufferings of old computer companies C. the rapid development of new computer companies D. the interaction between old companies and newcomers51. With wide
54、applications of cloud computing customers can _. A. pay less for the older IT systems B. gain more computing capacity quickly C. know better about defeating the hackers D. install software within weeks52. The problem of “lock-in” can be dangerous because _. A. it can make data easily be moved to ano
55、ther provider B. it can create a network of services connected with devices C. it may make it difficult for customers to recover their data D. it will discourage an argument about stricter rules 53. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that _. A. the European politicians advice is perfect
56、 B. customers demands play a role in setting standards C. lock-in is caused by firms storing information in their own centers D. Google enables users to provide services and move data54. Which of the following sayings can best express the main idea of the passage? A. Everything has its time and that
57、 time must be watched. B. Thegrasslooksgreenerontheothersideofthefence. C. A candle lights others and consumes itself. D. Every white has its black, and every sweet has its sour.D“Why do we have to learn all this dumb stuff?”Of all the complaints and questions I have heard from my students during my
58、 years in the classroom, this was the one most frequently asked. I would answer it by telling the following legend.One night a group of nomads (游牧民) were preparing to retire for the evening when suddenly they were surrounded by a great light. They knew they were in the presence of a godly being. Wit
59、h great expectation, they awaited a heavenly message of great importance that they knew must be especially for them.Finally, the voice spoke, “Gather as many pebbles (鹅卵石) as you can. Put them in your bags. Travel a days journey and tomorrow night will find you glad and it will find you sad.”The nom
60、ads shared their disappointment and anger with each other. They had expected the inspiration of a great universal truth that would enable them to create wealth, health and purpose for the world. But instead they were given a silly task that made no sense to them at all. However, the memory of the br
61、illiance of their visitor caused each one to pick up a few pebbles and store them in their bags while voicing their displeasure.They traveled a days journey and that night while making camp, they reached into their bags and discovered every pebble they had gathered had become a diamond. They were gl
62、ad they had diamonds. They were sad they had not gathered more pebbles.It was an experience I had with a student, whom I shall call Alan, early in my teaching career that illustrated the truth of that legend to me.When Alan was in the eighth grade, he majored in “trouble” with a minor in “suspension
63、s (停学)”. He had studied how to be a bully and was getting his masters degree in “thievery”.Every day I had my students memorize a quotation from a great thinker. As I called the roll (点名), I would begin a quotation. To be counted present, the student would be expected to finish the thought.“Alice Ad
64、ams There is no failure except. ”“ In no longer trying. Im present, Mr. Schlatter.”So, by the end of the year, my young pupils would have memorized 150 great thoughts.“People nowadays know the price of everything and the value of nothing.”“No pains, no gains.”“If you can conceive it, and believe it,
65、 you can achieve it.”No one complained about this daily routine other than Alan right up to the day he was expelled (开除) and I lost touch with him for five years. Then one day, he called. He was in a special program at one of the neighboring colleges and had just finished parole（假释）.He told me that
66、after being sent to juvenile hall (少管所) and finally being shipped off to the California Youth Authority for his wrong doings, he had become so disgusted with himself that he had taken a razor blade and cut his wrists.He said, “You know what, Mr. Schlatter, as I lay there with my life running out of
67、my body, I suddenly remembered that quote you made me write 20 times one day. “There is no failure except in no longer trying.” Then it suddenly made sense to me. As long as I was alive, I wasnt a failure, but if I allowed myself to die, I would most certainly die a failure. So with my remaining str
68、ength, I called for help and started a new life.”At the time he had heard the quotation, it was a pebble. When he needed guidance in a moment of crisis, it had become a diamond. And so it is to you, I say, gather all the pebbles you can, and you can count on a future filled with diamonds.55. What do
69、es the underlined sentence “it will find you sad” (Para. 4) mean? A. The God told the nomads to gather pebbles that made no sense to them. B. The pebbles wont enable the nomads to create fortune. C. The God didnt give the nomads the message they expected. D. The nomads regretted not having gathered
70、as many pebbles as possible.56. Which of following sentences from the passage brings out the authors sense of humor? A. They were given a silly task that made no sense to them at all. (Para. 5) B. He majored in “trouble” with a minor in “suspensions”. (Para. 8) C. People nowadays know the price of e
71、verything and the value of nothing. (Para. 13) D. You can count on a future filled with diamonds. (Para. 19)57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Not all the nomads gathered and stored some pebbles in their bags. B. Students who finished the half-sentence quotation were
72、 counted present. C. All students dont like the daily routine of finishing the half-sentence quotation. D. It was the strong faith of never dying a failure that saved Alans life.58. Why did Alan want to kill himself after being shipped off to the California Youth Authority? A. He hated the hard life
73、 in the juvenile hall. B. He was expelled by the school in the end. C. He was badly treated at the California Youth Authority. D. He felt so disappointed and hopeless about himself and his future.59. According to the passage, we can conclude that Mr. Schlatter is an educator of _. A. sympathy and ki
74、ndness B. wisdom and patience C. generosity and creativity D. faith and devotion60. Which of the following may probably be the best title? A. A Naughty Trouble-marker B. Pebbles and Nomads C. The Magic Pebble D. A Quotation that Saved Life第二节：下面文章中有5处(第6165题)需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题。
75、选项中有一项是多余选项。A. Control of RespirationB. Basic Tips for Preserving Cut FlowersC. Role of RespirationD. Most Important Aspect of Flower CareE. Need for Clean WaterF. Ways of Stopping Respiration61. _While everybody enjoys fresh cut flowers around his house, few people know how to keep them for as long
76、 as possible. This may be done by keeping in mind a few simple facts. The key to keeping fresh cut flowers for a week or more without floral preservatives (which contain biocides that kill bacteria and fungus) is to keep the water fresh and the stems free of air pockets so they can continue to draw
77、up water.62. _An important thing to remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperature. For example, studies have shown that cut carnations (康乃馨) retain their freshness eight times longer when kept at 12 than when kept at 26. Keeping freshly harvested flowers at the right temperatu
78、res is probably the most important aspect of flower care.来源:学科网ZXXK63. _Flowers are not intended by nature to live very long. Their biological purpose is simply to attract birds or insects, such as bees, for pollination (授粉). After that, they quickly dry up and die. The process by which flowers cons
79、ume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide, called respiration (呼吸), generates the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape and color. The making of seeds also depends on this energy. While all living things respire, flowers have a high level of respiration. A result of all this respiration i
80、s heat, and for flowers the level of heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high. Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower. Thus the greater the level of respiration, the sooner the flower dies.64. _How, then, to control the rate at which flowers die? By controlling re
81、spiration. How is respiration controlled? By controlling temperature. We know that respiration produces heat, but the reverse is also true. Thus by maintaining low temperatures, respiration is reduced and the cut flower will age more slowly.65. _Another vital factor in keeping cut flowers is the qua
82、lity of the water in which they are placed. Flowers find it difficult to “drink” water that is dirty or otherwise polluted. Even when water looks and smells clean, it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers. To rid the water of these unwanted substances, household
83、chlorine bleach (含氯漂白剂) can be used in small quantities. It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach (at 4% solution) be added to each liter of water. The water and solution should also be replaced each day.非选择题部分（共40分)第三部分：写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）下面短文中有10处语言错误。请在有错误的地方增加、删除或修
