31、 It is also a semi-autobiographical（半自传的）story of author W. Somerset Maugham.At first glance，the book seems like an anti-fairytale, going against the usual moral values of courage and kindness. However, readers will see that the English author was exploring the same kind of values. The only differen
32、ce is that he delivered his message through a story with more suffering.The main character, Philip Carey, leads a difficult life. Besides having to live with a clubfoot （畸形足）, his peers make fun of him for it. Though he is offered a scholarship from Oxford, he turns it down. He would rather study “t
33、hings that matter” in Germany. He generously helps a woman with whom he is fascinated, but this causes him to drop out of medical school-he gave her all his money. Penniless, he becomes a hunger-stricken vagabond（流浪汉）, takes a low-paid job for the sake of survival, and finally gets back to medical t
34、raining and settles down.Philips altruism（利他主义）is often regarded as a weakness by other characters, but does this lead to his downfall？Quite the opposite. Philips goodwill to a patient, Mr. Athelny, led to him marrying the eldest Atpelny girl, who cherishes（珍惜） him with all her heart.What is more, e
35、ven in hisunsuccessfulearly days, Philips courage in unfavorable circumstances helps him form friendships and a support network that get him through tough times. This is how he finds his most valued long-term companions. Last but not least, his hardships give him empathy（共情）.As French writer Romain

Philip Careys bad marriage.B. Philip Careys foot disability.C. Philip Careys tough life.D. Philip Careys generos
37、ity.22. What can we conclude from Philip Careys story?A. It is never too late to mend.B. Kindness wins out.C. Experience must be bought.D. No gains without pains.23. What is the authors attitude towards the novel Of Human Bondage？A. Doubtful.B. Reserved.C. Objective.D. Appreciative.【答案】21. C 22. B 2
38、3. D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过W. Somerset Maugham的半自传小说人性的枷锁讨论了人的生命究竟有什么意义？【21题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章第三段第一句中心句“The main character, Philip Carey, leads a difficult life.(主人公菲利普凯里过着艰难的生活。)”及本段内容可知，本段主要介绍了菲利普凯里的艰苦生活。故选C。【22题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段“He generously helps a woman with whom he is fascinated, but this causes him
39、to drop out of medical school-he gave her all his money.( 他慷慨地帮助了一位令他着迷的女人，但这却导致他从医学院退学他把所有的钱都给了她。)”和第五段“Philips goodwill to a patient, Mr. Athelny, led to him marrying the eldest Atpelny girl, who cherishes（珍惜） him with all her heart.(菲利普对病人阿特尔涅先生的好意，促使他娶了阿特佩尔尼家的大女儿为妻。阿特尔涅的女儿一心一意地爱着菲利普。)”可推断，我们能够从菲
40、利普凯里的故事中了解到，人间处处有温情。故选B。【23题详解】推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“What is more, even in his unsuccessful early days, Philips courage in unfavorable circumstances helps him form friendships and a support network that get him through tough times. This is how he finds his most valued long-term companions. Last but not le
41、ast, his hardships give him empathy（共情）.(更重要的是，即使在他“不成功”的早期，菲利普在不利环境中的勇气帮助他建立了友谊和支持网络，帮助他度过艰难的时期。他就是这样找到他最宝贵的长期伴侣的。最后但并非最不重要的是，他的苦难给了他同情心。)”可以推断，作者对小说人性的枷锁是欣赏的。故选D。BAttention managers: the next time you need to inspire your team creatively, be more attentive to your employees feelings when you deliv
42、er negative feedback.Kim, who worked as a software engineer for Samsung after graduation from college, is familiar with having his creative work picked apart. “I personally hate hearing negative feedback as most people do and I wondered if it really improved my performance, particularly when it came
43、 to completing creative tasks.” In two studies, Kim found that negative feedback could help or prevent creativity. What was most important was where the criticism comes from.When creative professionals or participants received criticism from a boss or a peer, they tended to be less creative in their
44、 later work. Interestingly, if a person received negative feedback from an employee of lower rank, they became more creative.It makes sense that employees might feel threatened by criticism from their managers. Supervisors (监督员，管理者) have a lot of power in deciding promotions or pay raises. So negati
45、ve feedback from a boss might cause career anxiety. It also stands to reason that feedback from a co-worker might also be received as threatening. We often compete with our peers for the same promotions and chances.What Kim found most surprising was how criticism proved to improve supervisors throug
46、h lessons learned from negative feedback that came from their followers (employees that they manage).“But we tend to believe we shouldnt criticize the boss,” says Kim. In reality, most supervisors dont hate negative feedback since they want to learn from it. Another reason is that they are in a natu
47、ral power position and can deal with the discomfort of negative feedback better.As for giving suggestions to employees, bosses should point out a followers poor performance or weak points in time. But they should keep their feedback specific to tasks. Explain how the point theyre discussing relates
48、to only their task behavior, not to aspects of the person. Meanwhile, feedback receivers need to worry less when it comes to receiving criticism.24. Whats the purpose of Kims study?A. To improve his essays for graduation.B. To know the influence of criticism on creativity.C. To compete with co-worke
49、rs for promotions and chances.D. To encourage a culture of criticizing each other in the workplace.25. What amazed Kim mostly in the study?A. Some people enjoy negative feedback.B. Managers criticism can prevent creativity.C. Followers criticism may benefit managers.D. Criticism from co-workers can
50、cause anxiety.26. Which of the following would the author agree with?A. Workers should accept all the criticism from others.B. People should try to avoid criticizing their co-workers.C. Bosses should give criticism specifically and appropriately.D. Workers should avoid exposing their own personal ma
51、tters.【答案】24. B 25. C 26. C【解析】【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了Kim的研究发现负面反馈可以有助于创造力，也可以抑制创造力。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“In two studies, Kim found that negative feedback could help or prevent creativity. What was most important was where the criticism comes from. （在两项研究中，Kim发现负面反馈可以帮助或阻止创造力。最重要的是批评来自哪里。）”可知，Kim研究的目的是了解批评
52、对创造力的影响。故选B。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第五段中“What Kim found most surprising was how criticism proved to improve supervisors through lessons learned from negative feedback that came from their followers (employees that they manage). （Kim发现最令人惊讶的是，通过从下属(他们管理的员工)的负面反馈中吸取教训，批评可以提高管理者的工作。）”可知，研究中最让Kim惊讶的是下属的批评可能对管理
53、者有利。故选C。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“bosses should point out a followers poor performance or weak points in time. But they should keep their feedback specific to tasks. Explain how the point theyre discussing relates to only their task behavior, not to aspects of the person.（老板应该及时指出下属的不好的表现或不足，但他们的反馈应该针对
54、具体任务。要向下属解释他们所讨论的观点是如何只与他们的任务行为有关，而与这个人的各个方面无关。）”可知，作者认为老板在对下属给予批评时，应该对工作中的哪些不好表现给出明确而适当的批评，并且应该解释这些批评只是针对他们在完成工作任务中的表现。故选C。CStarting in the late 1980s, the plastics industry spent tens of millions of dollars encouraging recycling through advertisements and recycling projects, telling people plastic
55、s could be recycled. But their own internal records showed that industry officials long knew that plastic recycling on a large scale came with high costs but poor results.A report sent to top industry directors in April 1973 said that plastic recycling was not as easy as people thought and sorting p

Another document a year later showed that there was serious doubt widespread that plastic recycling could get profits on an economic basis.Despite this, three former top officials said the industry supports recycling as a way to beat back a growing trend of stopping using pl

We dont want to see the pollution of the environment either and are willing to solve this problem,” say
59、s Jim Becker, vice president of Chevron Phillips Chemical Company.However, the more plastics are recycled, the less money the industry will make. And the industry now produces many more different and complex kinds of plastics that are more costly to sort and in many cases cant be recycled at all. Ef
60、forts to reduce the use of plastics are increasing worldwide, but any plan to slow the growth of plastics will cause the whole industry to lose billions of dollars in the future.27.

63、es.30 Whats the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Reducing plastics production has become a new trend.B. Changes in plastics increase the difficulty of recycling.C. Plastic recycling puts the plastics industry in a dilemma.D. The plastics industry spends more improving the quality of plastics.【答案】2
64、7. D 28. A 29. D 30. C【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今塑料回收成本高，效果不佳的问题，指出制造塑料的公司鼓励人们回收塑料是为了获得更多的销售，但是塑料工业已经开始愿意承担更多的社会责任。全世界都在努力减少塑料的使用，但任何减缓塑料增长的计划都将导致整个行业在未来损失数十亿美元。【27题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Starting in the late 1980s, the plastics industry spent tens of millions of dollars encouraging recycling through adverti
65、sements and recycling projects, telling people plastics could be recycled.(从上世纪80年代末开始，塑料行业投入了数千万美元，通过广告和回收项目鼓励回收，告诉人们塑料可以回收)”以及第三段中“The plastics industry is under fire, but we want to continue to make plastic products,” Thomas, an official from a company making plastics says.“ If the public think t
66、he recycling is working, then theyre not going to be so worried about the environment.”(一家塑料制造公司的官员托马斯表示：“塑料行业正受到攻击，但我们希望继续生产塑料产品，如果公众认为回收是有效的，那么他们就不会那么担心环境了。”)可知，塑料行业鼓励公众回收塑料以增加销量。故选D。【28题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Despite this, three former top officials said the industry supports recycling as a way to beat
67、 back a growing trend of stopping using plastics in the 1980s. (尽管如此，三名前高级官员表示，塑料行业支持回收利用，以遏制上世纪80年代停止使用塑料的日益增长的趋势)”以及后文“but we want to continue to make plastic products”可知，but表示转折，说明塑料行业正在遭受严厉批评，但人们希望继续生产塑料产品，即划线部分意思是“严厉批评”。A. criticized severely严厉批评；B. increasingly popular日益流行；C. growing fast快速增长；
68、D. declining rapidly快速下滑。故选A。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The public gradually doubt the idea that the plastics industry could do a satisfying job in dealing with plastics and protecting the environment. But now we have already funded new technologies to change this situation. We dont want to see the pollut
69、ion of the environment either and are willing to solve the problem,” says Jim Becker, vice president of Chevron Phillips Plastics Company.(雪佛龙菲利普斯塑料公司副总裁Jim Becker说：“人们逐渐怀疑塑料行业在处理塑料和保护环境方面能做得令人满意。但是现在我们已经资助了新技术来改变这种情况。我们也不想看到环境污染，我们愿意解决这个问题”)”可推知，从Becker话中我们可以了解到塑料工业开始承担更多的社会责任。故选D。【30题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后
70、一段“However, the more plastics are recycled, the less money the industry will make. And the industry now produces many more different and complex kinds of plastics that are more costly to sort and in many cases cant be recycled at all. Efforts to reduce the use of plastics are increasing worldwide, b
71、ut any plan to slow the growth of plastics will cause the whole industry to lose billions of dollars in the future.(然而，回收的塑料越多，这个行业赚的钱就越少。现在这个行业生产的塑料种类更多，种类更复杂，分类成本更高，而且在很多情况下根本无法回收。全世界减少塑料使用的努力都在增加，但任何减缓塑料增长的计划都将导致整个行业在未来损失数十亿美元)”可知，最后一段的主旨是塑料回收使塑料工业陷入困境。故选C。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
