13、 Kate Koralevskaya has been attracted by flight. From flying remote-controlled airplanes to building her own model ones, Kate has always considered flying a plane one of her passions, but only until recently has she been able to take that to new heights. When Kate heard about the Upwind Scholarship
14、from her school counselor, she knew it was an extraordinary opportunity to realize her dream. The programs mission is to provide all the training necessary to obtain a private pilots license (PPL) for students in between their junior and senior year of high school free of charge. After completing a
15、lengthy application and her subsequent acceptance into the program, Kate began her training last spring. Normally, recipients of the scholarship would attend ground school in person where they learn the fundamentals of flying. Due to the pandemic (大流行病), however, Kate spent hours each weekend studyi
16、ng online lessons in her room whenever she got a break from homework. Once summer came around, Kate and three peers put in two straight weeks of ground school, reviewing fight training from nine to five every day. It was the toughest part of the program, Kate said. After completing that portion of g
17、round school, Kate was finally able to begin flying at the San Carlos Airport with the other scholarship recipients from around the Bay Area. Flying, especially for first-timers like Kate, is a hands-on process involving lots of checklists to make sure the important tasks are being taken care of. No
18、w, having finished the program and earned her PPL, Kate plans on training as a fight instructor and hopes to become an airline pilot in her future. She credits the Upwind Scholarship for all shes been able to accomplish so far and hopes that anyone who shares her passion will look into it. “It is a
19、very hard scholarship to get into, and you have to be truly interested in flight,” Kate said. “It cant be something like Oh, why dont I try flying this summer? You have to be ready to do a lot of work and put in effort in order to succeed in the program. ”4. What does the underlined word “that” in P

23、现成为一名飞行员的梦想所做出的努力。【4题详解】词句猜测题。划线词前一句提到“Kate has always considered flying a plane one of her passions(Kate一直考虑将驾驶飞机视为自己的一个爱好)”,下一段中提到“it was an extraordinary opportunity to realize her dream.(这是她实现梦想的好机会。)”由此可知,Kate小时候爱好飞行,驾驶飞机是她的梦想。由此可以猜测, that指“她小时候成为一名飞行员的梦想”。故选C。【5题详解】细节理解题。 根据文章第二段中“The programs
24、 mission is to provide all the training necessary to obtain a private pilots license (PPL) for students in between their junior and senior year of high school free of charge. (该计划的任务是免费为高二和高三学生提供所需要的所有培训,可以让他们获得私人飞机飞行员执照)”可知,“Upwind Scholarship”的目标是为了让高中生成为一名私人飞机飞行员做准备。故选D。【6题详解】细节理解题。文章第三段中提到“recip
25、ients of the scholarship would attend ground school in person where they learn the fundamentals of flying.”(奖学金获得者需要到地面学校学习飞行的基础知识) 以及“Kate and three peers put in two straight weeks of ground school, reviewing fight training(Kate 和三个同学连续上了两周的地面学校,回顾飞行训练。)”可知,在疫情过后,Kate在地面学校去学习回顾飞行的基础知识。故选B。【7题详解】推理判
26、断题。文章倒数第二段提到“having finished the program and earned her PPL, Kate plans on training as a fight instructor and hopes to become an airline pilot in her future.(已经完成了这个项目,获得了私人飞机驾驶员执照,Kate计划接受飞行教官的培训,并希望将来成为一名飞行员)”可以推断,Kate很有志向;根据最后一段中Kate所说的话中 “It is a very hard scholarship to get into, and you have t
27、o be truly interested in flight,” .You have to be ready to do a lot of work and put in effort in order to succeed in the program. ”(“这是一项很难获得的奖学金,你必须对飞行真正感兴趣。”以及“为了项目的成功,你必须准备好做大量的工作和付出努力”)可以推断, Kate为了获得奖学金很努力。因此Kate很有雄心壮志,为了梦想而努力。故选D。C“A CAREER BOOK about Asians? Arent they doing fine?” So begins B
28、reaking the Bamboo Ceiling, a very large scholarly book by Jane Hyun published in 2005. Because Asian-Americans had higher incomes and education levels and committed fewer crimes than their average countrymen, they were seen as a model minority. Despite this, they rarely rose to the top of companies
29、. A mix of individual, cultural and organizational barriers the “bamboo ceiling” of the books title seemed to prohibit them from rising.Fifteen years later Asians are still under-represented. In the technology sectors, Asians make up over 30% of the workers but less than 15% of bosses. In 2017 Asian

Satya Nadella runs Microsoft and Sundar Pichai leads Alphabet. But few other Asians have joined their ranks and, revealin
31、gly, these stars all have Indian roots. There are fewer South Asians in America than East Asians, but they still made up 13 of all 16 Asian S&P 500 CEOs.Why are there so few Asians among Americas business elite? And if a bamboo ceiling is to blame, why do South Asians break through more easily? Thes
32、e questions are the focus of a study by Jackson Lu of MIT Sloan School of Management and colleagues, who surveyed hundreds of senior executives and business-school students. They found that while discrimination exists, it is not destiny. South Asians endure greater racism than East Asians but still
33、outperform even whites (if success is weighed against share of population). Their research also rules out lack of ambition: a greater share of Asians than whites endeavor for high-status jobs.That leaves culture. The researchers conclude that South Asians tend to be more determined and confident tha
34、n East Asians in how they communicate at work, which fits Western concepts of how a leader should behave. The same tendency for confident remarks featured in “The Argumentative Indian”, a book by Amartya Sen, a Nobel-prize winning economist. The researchers owe East Asians silence to Confucian value

A roof made of bamboo typical of Asian buildings.C. Promotion obstacles facing Asian employees in America.D. Th
36、e invisible discrimination against Asians in the USA.9. What does “under-represented” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Lacking representatives.B. Hard to show their talents.C. Being underestimated.D.

37、n South Asians?A. A small population.B. Discrimination.C. Lack of ambition.D. Culture.11. Why do South Asians succeed in American business more easily?A. Western people prefer modesty to confidence in communication.B. The confidence they demonstrate consists with Western leadership.C. They endure gr
38、eater racism and become more ambitious.D. Their ambition urges them to endeavor for high-status jobs.【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章以一本名为Breaking the Bamboo Ceiling的书为引入,指出了在美国的亚洲员工面临晋升障碍的社会现象,同时南亚人比东亚人更容易晋升,分析了产生这一现象背后的种种原因。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Because Asian-Americans had higher incomes a
39、nd education levels and committed fewer crimes than their average countrymen, they were seen as a model minority. Despite this, they rarely rose to the top of companies. A mix of individual, cultural and organizational barriers the “bamboo ceiling” of the books title seemed to prohibit them from ris
40、ing.(由于亚裔美国人的收入和教育水平更高,犯罪行为也比一般同胞少,他们被视为模范少数族裔。尽管如此,他们很少能升到公司的高层。个人、文化和组织的障碍书名中的“bamboo ceiling”混合在一起,似乎阻止了他们的晋升)”可知,“bamboo ceiling”指的是在美国的亚洲员工面临的晋升障碍。故选C。【9题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“In the technology sectors, Asians make up over 30% of the workers but less than 15% of bosses. In 2017 Asians made up roughl
41、y 6% of the countrys population but only 3% of the bosses of S&P 500 (标准普尔 500 指数) firms.(在科技行业,亚洲人占员工总数的30%以上,但占老板总数的不到15%。2017年,亚洲人约占美国人口的6%,但在标准普尔500指数成分股公司的老板中,亚洲人只占3%)”可知,15年后,亚洲人在行业中仍然没有得到充分的代表,即亚洲人缺乏代表。故画线词意思为“缺乏代表”。故选A。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“South Asians endure greater racism than East Asians
42、 but still outperform even whites (if success is weighed against share of population). Their research also rules out lack of ambition: a greater share of Asians than whites endeavor for high-status jobs.(南亚人忍受着比东亚人更严重的种族主义,但表现仍然超过白人如果成功与人口比例相比较的话。他们的研究也排除了缺乏雄心壮志的可能性:努力获得高职位的亚洲人比白人要多)”以及最后一段中“That le
43、aves culture.(这样一来就只剩下文化这种原因)”可推知,根据Jackson Lu的研究,东亚人升职比南亚人少的主要原因是文化。故选D。【11题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The researchers conclude that South Asians tend to be more determined and confident than East Asians in how they communicate at work, which fits Western concepts of how a leader should behave.(研究人员得出的结论是,南亚
44、人在工作中的沟通方式往往比东亚人更有决心和自信,这符合西方关于领导者的行事概念)”可知,南亚人更容易在美国商业中成功,是因为他们表现出的信心与西方领导一致。故选B。DGreat work is work that makes a difference in peoples lives, writes David Sturt, Executive Vice President of the O.C. Tanner Institute, in his book Great Work: How to Make a Difference People Love. Sturt insists, howe
45、ver, that great work is not just for surgeons or special-needs educators or the founders of organizations trying to eliminate poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. The central theme of Great Work, according to Sturt, is that anyone can make a difference in any job. Its not the nature of the job, but what y
46、ou do with the job that counts. As proof, Sturt tells the story of a remarkable hospital cleaner named Moses.In a building filled with doctors and nurses doing great life-saving work, Moses the cleaner makes a difference. Whenever he enters a room, especially a room with a sick child, he engages bot
47、h patients and parents with his optimism and calm, introducing himself to the child and, Sturt writes, speaking “little comments about light and sunshine and making things clean.” He comments on any progress he sees day by day (“youre sitting up today, thats good.”) Moses is no doctor and doesnt pre
48、tend to be, but he has witnessed hundreds of sick children recovering from painful surgery, and parents take comfort from his encouraging words. For Matt and Mindi, whose son McKay was born with only half of a heart, Moses became a close friend. As Sturt explains, “Moses took his innate (与生俱来的) tale
49、nts (his sensitivity) and his practical wisdom (from years of hospital experience) and combined them into a powerful form of patient and family support that changed the critical-care experience for Mindi, Matt and little McKay.”How do people like Moses do great work when so many people just work? Th
50、at was the central question raised by Sturt and his team at the O.C. Tanner Institute, a consulting company specialized in employee recognition and rewards system.O.C. Tanner launched an exhaustive Great Work study that included surveys to 200 senior executives, a further set of surveys to 1,000 man
51、agers and employees working on projects, an in-depth qualitative study of 1.7 million accounts of award-winning work (in the form of nominations (提名) for awards from corporations around the world), and one-on-one interviews with 200 difference makers. The results of the study revealed that those who
52、 do great work refuse to be defeated by the constraints of their jobs and are especially able to reframe their jobs: they dont view their jobs as a list of tasks and responsibilities but see their jobs as opportunities to make a difference. No matter, as Moses so ably exemplifies (例证), what that job
53、 may be.12. According to Sturt, which of the following is TRUE?A. Its not the nature of the job, but what you do that makes a difference.B. Anyone in the world is responsible to delete poverty and change the world.C. Anyone can make a difference in peoples lives no matter what kind of job he does.D.
54、 Surgeons, special-needs educators and founders of organizations can succeed more easily.13. According to this passage, how does Moses, a common hospital cleaner, make a difference in peoples lives?A. By keeping optimistic and calm when facing patients and their parents at hospital.B. By showing his
55、 special gift and working experience when working at hospital.C. By showing his sympathy and kindness to patients when entering their rooms.D. By pretending to be a doctor or nurse when entering a room with a sick child.14. The word “constraints” in the last paragraph probably refers to _.A. demands
56、B. advantagesC. disadvantagesD. limitations15. What can we infer from the passage?A. Great work is work that makes a difference in peoples lives no matter what you do.B. If a boss has trouble recognizing his employees, he can ask O. C. Tanner for advice. C Moses makes a difference through his sensit
57、ivity and his practical wisdom.D. Those who do great work are never defeated by others or their jobs themselves.【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过例子说明了伟大工作的中心主题是,任何人都可以在任何工作中有所作为。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段句子“The central theme of Great Work, according to Sturt, is that anyone can make a diffe
58、rence in any job.”( 斯图特认为,伟大工作的中心主题是,任何人都可以在任何工作中有所作为。)可知“不管做什么样的工作,任何人都可以有所作为”这一表述正确。故选C项。【13题详解】细节理解题。由文章第二段句子“Whenever he enters a room, especially a room with a sick child, he engages both patients and parents with his optimism and calm, introducing himself to the child and, Sturt writes, speaki
59、ng little comments about light and sunshine and making things clean. ”(每当他走进一个房间,特别是有一个生病的孩子的房间,他就会用他的乐观和冷静来吸引病人和家长,向孩子自我介绍,并且,斯图特写道,摩西会说关于光和阳光,以及如何把东西弄干净的小评论。”)可知,清洁工摩西在医院面对病人和父母时,会保持乐观和冷静。故选A项。【14题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“ are especially able to reframe their jobs”( 尤其能够重新定义自己的工作)可知,在工作上有所成就的人拒绝被工作本身的“
60、局限性”打败。“constraints”意思是局限性。故选D项。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段句子“That was the central question raised by Sturt and his team at the O.C. Tanner Institute, a consulting company specialized in employee recognition and rewards system.”( 这是斯图特和他的团队在O.C.Tanner 研究所提出的核心问题,该研究所是一家专门研究员工认可和奖励系统的咨询公司。)可知,如果一个老板在获得员工认可方
61、面有困难,他可以向O.C.Tanner寻求建议。故选B项。【点睛】在阅读文章中,作者常常让读者领会文章中不明确表达出来而暗含在其中的意思。这就需要读者在阅读过程中,在全面掌握文章所给出的信息的基础上,运用自己的知识认真思考问题,领会作者的言外之意。这种从“已知”推出“未知”的过程,就是推论,是我们阅读过程中必须掌握的一种解题技巧。如第四小题,文章中并没有关于“如果一个老板在获得员工认可方面有困难”这个信息。但是通过句子“That was the central question raised by Sturt and his team at the O.C. Tanner Institute,
62、 a consulting company specialized in employee recognition and rewards system”可以判断出该信息正确。第二节 七选五(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5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,选项中有两项为多余项。When it comes to getting ahead, is IQ or EQ more important?

69、ared with the Geniuses.【答案】16. D 17. C 18. B 19. A 20. F【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。一项关于蝴蝶和天才的思想实验彻底解决了智商和情商哪个更重要的问题。【16题详解】根据后文“So if you asked people whether theyd rather be a butterfly or a genius, Im betting most people wouldnt hesitate before choosing genius. ”(所以如果你问人们是愿意做一只蝴蝶还是一个天才,我敢打赌大多数人在选择天才之前都会毫不犹豫。
70、)可知,此处是讲做蝴蝶不如做天才好,所以选项D(蝴蝶很漂亮,但缺乏力量。)切合文意。故选D。【17题详解】根据上文“Imagine two groups of people. Well call them the Geniuses and the Butterflies for short.”(想象两组人。我们简称他们为天才和蝴蝶。)可知,后文会分别陈述两组人。再结合后文“They come up with one ground-breaking invention every 10 human lifetimes.”(他们每10个人一生中就有一个突破性的发明。)可知,此处是介绍Geniuse
71、s这一组,所以选项C(Geniuses这一组就是天才)切合文意。故选C。【18题详解】根据前文“But what the Butterflies lack in cognitive(认知的)horsepower, they make up for in social skills.”(但是蝴蝶们在认知能力上的不足,在社交能力上得到了弥补。)可知,此处是讲蝴蝶出色的社交能力,所以选项B(每只蝴蝶有10个朋友。)切合文意。故选B。【19题详解】根据后文“The one where the people are a hundred times smarter(the Geniuses)or the
72、one where theyre 10 times more social(the Butterflies)?”(是聪明一百倍的人的天才社会还是社交能力优秀十倍的蝴蝶社会?)可知,此处是讲这两个社会哪个更好,所以选项A(哪个社会更好?)切合文意。故选A。【20题详解】根据前文“But without them, new ideas dont spread fast enough to-make big impact.”(但如果没有他们,新思想的传播速度就不足以产生重大影响。)可知,此处是讲有社交能力的人也很重要,根据后文“This fascinating thought experiment
73、is good news for the communicators and connectors of the world, but its also a valuable lesson for anyone putting-together a team.”(这个令人着迷的思维实验对于世界上的沟通者和连接者来说是好消息,但对于任何组建团队的人来说也是宝贵的一课。)可知,此处是讲情商对团体的成功更加重要。所以选项F(就团队成功而言,情商比单纯的智商更重要。)切合文意。故选F。第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分25分)第一节 完形填空(共15小题,每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各
