In August 2011, he stepped down as CEO, handing over to Tim Cook.When asked what Steve Jobs is best remembered for, many of us would name a _42_ product: the iPod, the iPhone or the iPad, for example. According to the Wall S
25、treet Journal, Jobs “proved the appeal of well-designed products over the sheer (纯粹的) power of technology itself and shifted the way consumers interact (互动) with technology in an increasingly digital world”.But in the eyes of Eric Jackson, a reporter with Forbes magazine, Jobs brought much more to t
26、he world than these _43_ devices. Some of the lessons he taught us were _44_ inspiring. Jobs once _45_ his philosophy as trying to make products that were at “the intersection (交集) of art and technology”. He said this was always an important part of what made Apples products stand out.Jobs also taug
27、ht people how to face _46_. He was fired by the successor (继任者) he himself chose. Despite this, Jobs didnt hide away.

Because taxi drivers are tough，people get the 54 impression that they are bad. Taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will
32、 act as 55 fellows. You read in the papers almost every week where a taxi driver turns in money or jewels or like that people leave in their cars. If they werent honest，you wouldnt be reading those _56_ in the papers. One time，I found an emerald（翡翠的）ring in my car. I remembered helping a lady with a
33、 lot of suitcases that day，so I went back to where I had dropped her off. It took me almost two days to wait for her in order to return her ring to her. I didnt get as much as “thank you.” But，I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she did.I was born and _57_ in Ir

40、ch 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)During my ninth-grade year, I suffered from“anorexia nervosa”. It was not enough to be thin. I had to be the thinnest. Now, however, fully re
41、covered, I can reflect back and realize that my wishes were more complex than fitting into size five pants. Many of my hidden emotions were related to my relationship with my father. As I was growing up, his work always came first. Sometimes I would not see him for up to two weeks. Not only did he d
42、evote his whole self to his work, but he expected me to do the same (“You cannot get anywhere unless you go to the best universities!”). Though, consciously, I never felt pressure to please him, I began dieting after the first time he told me I looked fat.At the time, all I knew was that I had to be
43、 thinthinner than anyone else. Every month my father went to Europe for a week or so and on the days he left, sorrow and emptiness swallowed me: Daddy was leaving. Then, I turned to focus on a mysterious weaknessa helpless childlike emotion that came from starving. I liked to know that I needed to b
44、e taken care of; maybe Daddy would take care of me.Now, two years later and thirty-eight pounds heavier, I have come to realize that I cannot change my fathers inability to express his feelings. Instead, I must accept myself. I know that I am a valuable person who struggles to achieve and accomplish
45、. But I cannot struggle solely for others. By starving, I attempted to gain pride in myself by obtaining my fathers approval or acknowledgment of my value as a person. But the primary approval must come from me, and I feel secure now that I can live with that knowledge safely locked in my mind.65. W

48、roud of herself for working hard to succeed.C. She has had great confidence in herself since childhood.D. She has changed her fathers way of expressing himself.68. Whats the writers purpose of writing this passage?A. To blame her father.B. To report a case of child abuse.C. To reflect on a stage of
49、growing up.D. To teach people how to lose weight. (B)The financial climate, the job market, family tensions, Obama moving into the Lincoln bedroom. Even the climates getting in on the list. Yup, change is everywhere in these years.If youre not careful, all kinds of strange things might happen in you
50、r otherwise ordered life, so its best to work at avoiding change whenever it rears its head（抬头）.Here are 5 ways to do just that:1. Ignore any opportunities.How many times have you taken a chance, only for things to go wrong? How many times have you seized an opportunity only for it to slip between y
51、our fingers?Theres always another screw-up（皱脸）waiting for you, so its better to stay right where you are. Where you are right now is a known quantity its safe, warm and comfortable. Doesnt that sound better than going out there, screwing up and looking stupid?2. Set your expectations low.If youre on
52、e of the people out there looking to make a change in these years rather than having change made for you, youd better set your expectations low.3. Keep on running and dont look back.The best thing to do is to set things out so that you can do everything. Its good to be busy and running around after
53、everyone else will mean that everyones happy and theres no room for change to happen. Its a win-win!4. Recognize that most changes are too big.Face it; there are some tasks youre just not up to. Landing that exciting new job, getting a promotion, taking on the big project or building a relationship
54、that really works these are all big challenges and you dont want to bite off more than you can chew.5. Ignore that little voice insideYou might sometimes hear a little voice in your head that tells you youre not happy or that something has to change. This little trouble maker can speak up at any tim
55、e and throw the Spanner of Confusion in the works, and it has only one thing on its mind to take you out of your comfort zone and make you change.Imagine if everyone went around listening to what they really wanted and acted on it - chaos.No, best to ignore it and carry on with what youre doing.69.
56、The purpose of writing this passage is _.A. to attract the readers interest in change in these yearsB. to discuss whether people should change in these yearsC. to introduce ways to avoid change in these yearsD. to tell the readers the news of American PresidentObama and others70. The underlined sent
57、ence “You dont want to bite off more than you can chew” implies_.A. there are some big challenges you cant fightB. you have big challenges to fightC. you are afraid of challenging some difficult tasksD. you are too small to eat too much food71. The best way of dealing with that little voice inside i
58、s _.A. to change something at onceB. to have a chat with the speakerC. to discuss it with the trouble makerD. to ignore it and go on with what you are doing (C)People want action on noise, a recent public meeting in Brisbane showed. Some want technical improvements such as quieter air conditioners o
59、r better sound barriers around major roads. Others want tougher laws to restrict noise from building sites or to require owners to take responsibility for barking dogs. But the highest priority was a noise complaints system that works.Brisbane City Council receives more complaints about noise than a
60、ll other problems put together. So it conducted a survey and found that about half its residents are upset by noise in one form or another traffic, mowers, pool pumps, air conditioners or loud parties. This inspired the Council to bring together more than 100 citizens one evening to talk through a r
61、ange of options. The meeting found the present regulatory system bizarre. Depending on the problem, responsibility for noise can lie with the Council, the Environment Protection Authority, one of three government departments or even the police. So complainants often feel they are getting the run-rou
62、nd. When the people at the forum were asked to vote for changes, the strongest response was for a 24-hour noise hotline to be the first port of call for all complaints. The forum also favored regulatory measures, such as tougher minimum standards for noise in appliances like air conditioners. This e
63、ven makes economic sense, as noise is a waste of energy and money. Other measures the meeting supported were wider buffer (缓冲) zones around noisy activities and controls to keep heavy traffic away from residential areas. But there are obvious conflicts. Many people like to have a bar within walking
64、distance if they feel like a drink, but they dont want a noisy pub keeping them awake when they want an early night. Most people want to live near a major road providing good access to other parts of the city, but they dont want the problem of road noise. Some were most interested by the proposals a
65、imed at behavioral change. There was strong support for measures to reduce traffic: better public transport, cycleways and footpaths, even charges for road use. Many people optimistically thought industry awards for better equipment would stimulate the production of quieter appliances. It was even s
66、uggested that noise from building sites could be alleviated (减轻) if Brisbane adopted daylight saving, thus shifting the working day and providing longer, quieter evenings.72. According to the recent public meeting in Brisbane, what was the first step to take in order to reduce noise pollution?A. Pro
67、duce quieter air conditioners.B. Provide better sound barriers around major roads.C. Establish a noise complaints system.D. Make stricter laws to require owners to take responsibility for barking dogs.73. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. the Brisbane residents were satisfied with the pr
68、esent noise regulatory systemB. many people in Brisbane preferred to live near a pub to which they have easy accessC. nearly all the inhabitants in Brisbane were bothered by noise in one form or anotherD. noise pollution is the most serious among pollution complaints in Brisbane74. Brisbane City Cou
69、ncil brought together citizens to talk through solutions to the noise problem mainly due to _.A. the result of the survey carried out by itselfB. a noise complaints system that worksC. people asking for tougher laws on noiseD. requirements of an effective noise complaints system75. How could noise f
70、rom building sites be alleviated if Brisbane adopted daylight saving? A. If daylight saving was adopted, the daytime would be prolonged and the night would become quieter.B. If daylight saving was adopted, the working hours during the daytime would be shortened while the night would be extended and
71、thus quieter.C. If daylight saving was adopted, the night would be shortened and thus quieter.D. If daylight saving was adopted, both the daytime and the night would be shortened and the noise would be reduced.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F
72、 for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Classroom participationB. Differences in American university educationC. Examination systemD. Competition among studentsE. Honest policy in students school workF. Students responsibility for learning76 There is considerable var
73、iety in university classrooms in the United States. Because of diverse teaching methods and non-standardized curricula (课程), no two courses are the same. Undergraduate courses are considerable different from graduate courses. The classroom atmosphere in expensive, private universities may differ fro
74、m that in community colleges，which are free and open to everyone.77 Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the students oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which t
75、he student has a passive role (i.e., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures.78 Many teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the student. If a long reading assignment is given, instructors
76、expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. (Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams.) The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one i
77、nterested only in getting high grades.79 Ideally, the teacher-student relationship at universities is characterized by trust. The honor system, put forward by the teacher and the university demands that the student be honest in all areas of school work. Thus, cheating on tests, Plagiarizing (抄袭) in
78、written work, presenting others ideas as original, and turning in homework completed by someone else are all prohibited (禁止).80 Relationships between students in the classroom can be cooperative or competitive. International students should not hesitate to ask for help if it is needed. There are cou
79、rses, however, where grades are calculated in relation to other students scores. Therefore, in classes where such a grading curve is used, students may be reluctant to share lecture notes or information for fear that their own grades will suffer.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then
80、answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.World Is Growing DarkerYouve heard the term “global warming”, but having you heard about “global dimming”? As the earth has grown warmer during the last 50 years, it has also grown darker.In May, scientists from several cou
81、ntries gathered in Montreal to compare their measurements of the suns radiation. During the last 50 years, the amount of sunshine reaching the earths surface has declined by roughly 10 percent, says Gerald Stanhill, a retired scientist who worked at the Israeli Agriculture Ministry.Global warming an
82、d global dimming seem to have the same cause: air pollution. Most scientists agree that the invisible greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), released into the air by cars and industry, have warmed the atmosphere. A warmer atmosphere, in turn, holds more water vapor in the
83、form of thicker clouds, which block more sunlight, says Beate Liepert, an atmospheric scientist at Columbia University.Another form of air pollution is adding to the effect. Tiny particles（颗粒）of soot（煤烟）spewed into the atmosphere help water condense into droplets, forming denser clouds. The soot als
84、o reflects sunlight back into space or absorbs it before it reaches the ground.Scientists use radiometers（辐射计）to measure the amount of sunlight striking the earth. One type of radiometer is a black plate covered by a glass dome. The temperature of the plate indicates how much sunlight is falling on
85、it. Hundreds of radiometers around the world have been measuring sunshine since the 1950s.The measurements have varied from place to place. Sunlight in Hong Kong, for example, has decreased by 37 percent.How has global dimming affected life on the earth? No one is sure. It could be offsetting global
86、 warming. It could also be affecting the productivity of plant life, which depends on sunshine for growth.“There could be a big gorilla sitting on the dining table, and we didnt know about it,” Veerabhadran Ramanathan, a scientist at the University of California, told the New York Times. “There are
87、many, many issues that it raises.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. “Global dimming” of the earth is featured by _.82. Why is “global dimming” caused by air pollution according to the passage? 83. Tiny particles of soot add to global dimming mainly
88、 because they _.84. What does the sentence “There could be a big gorilla sitting on the dining table, and we didnt know about it” in the last paragraph mean? 第卷（共45分）I.
