【解析】
本文是一篇说明文,很多人有好点子,但是不知道如何把好点子变成伟大的发明,文章中对此提出了几点建议。
【1】根据本段第一句可知很多人有很棒的想法认为自己的想法会成为伟大的发明,但是不知道该如何去做。横线句要把上下文串联起来,F项“Herearesomestepsthatyoucantake下面是你可以采取的步骤”承上启下,把本段第一句和文章下面的内容连接在一起。
【2】本段告诉我们首先要对自己的发明项目进行研究,查看是否已经有人已经发明出类似的物品。如果没有,查一下相关的专利情况。如果没有类似的专利被申请,那么你就可以继续做下一步工作。故B项“Ifnot, gotothenextstep”符合上下文语境。
【3】根据横线前句One agencythatisveryreputable(声誉好的)is "LambertinMinnesota"可知"LambertinMinnesota"是一家声誉非常好的代理机构。本句应该介绍这一结构的良好服务,故G项“Theyofferfreeadviceforgoodideas他们会为好点子提供免费服务”与之对应。
【4】横线前句可知你和代理机构联系好了以后,你要带着模型以及对这个好点子的叙述。最好是把你的想法写下来,然后与对方交流。故E项“Writedownexactlyaboutyourinvention.”与上下文语境一致。
【5】横线前句告诉我们如果你的发明被某一公司购买,那么你只要等待发明给你带来的好处即可。虽然等待的时间可能会比较长,但这样的等待是值得的。故A项“Itmaytakeayearortwo”符合上下文语境。
本文设空在段尾。我们可以从以下七点考虑:
(1)空白前的一句或两句是重点语句,重点阅读以锁定关键词。
(2)通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词,如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语,选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。
(3)与前文是转折或对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词,同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。
(4)与前文是并列或排比关系。在这种情况下,通常是该段落要求补全说明本段主题的其他细节,因此
根据段落一致性原则,在原文和选项中找到相关的特征词,通常在选项中会出现表示并列/递进关系的关联词或与前文类似的句式结构,或出现同义词等其他信号线索。前面的一句与正确答案的第一句是紧密相连的。要特别注意阅读这样相连的两句,通常会找到关键的线索词句。
(5)所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联,此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句,看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。
(6)如果第一段的段尾是空白,要认真阅读,看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题,如果在段尾提出主题,会用一些信号词如转折词引出来,正确答案中应有这样的特征词。

【题目】Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible. Write your answer on the answer sheet.
When we wake up feeling sleepy and with dark circles under eyes, many of us often think: “I’m going to go to bed earlier tomorrow!” But however determined we are, chances are that we don’t stick to our promise. This behavior is called “bedtime procrastination(拖延症)”.
According to a study carried out by a group of health psychologists at Utrecht University in the Netherlands in 2014, bedtime procrastination is a common problem. In their study, 53 percent of the 2,400 participants said they didn’t follow their sleep schedule, delaying it at least twice a week.
It’s found that they delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late, but they couldn’t stop doing other unimportant things, which were keeping them up in the first place.
“People who generally have trouble resisting temptations and sticking to their intentions are more likely to delay going to bed.” Floor Kroese, a psychologist at Utrecht University, further explained to HuffPost.
Yet, according to scientists, lack of self-control is not the only thing to blame. Our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bed time. In order to check the influence of the body clock on sleep, psychologists at Ulm University in Germany studied the sleep patterns of 108 people in February. It was found that those who get up late are more likely to postpone their bedtime than those who wake early every morning.
“The intention to go to bed earlier is not enough,” Jane Kuhnel, a psychologist at Ulm University, concluded in Popular Science. “Biological processes need to support this intention.”
People always think that bedtime procrastination isn’t a big problem, but as Kroese told Popular Science, “the choices we make that affect out sleep could turn out to be pretty important for our health.”

【题目】 “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” Eleanor Roosevelt once said. If we want to accomplish anything in life, let us remember that we should never give up.
Viennese - born composer Frederick Loewe, whom we remember from his musical scores that include My Fair Lady, Gigi and Camelot, was not always famous. He learned to play the piano with the great masters of Europe and achieved huge success as a musician and composer in his early years.
But when he immigrated to the United States, he failed as a pianist. For a while he tried other types of work. But he never gave up his dream and continued to play the piano and write music. During those years, he could not always afford to make ends meet by playing the piano.
One day, bent over the keyboard, he heard nothing but the music that he played with inspiration. When he finished and looked up, he was surprised to find that he had an audience - three men who were seated on the floor. They said nothing and made no movement toward the piano. Instead they dug into their pockets, took out all the money they had, placed it on the piano and walked out, empty-handed. Deeply touched by the beauty of his music, these men recognized excellence and responded to it.
Whatever you do, try your best. If what you do is worth doing and if you believe that who you are is of value, then you cannot afford to be content with mediocrity (平庸). When you choose the path of excellence through this life, you will bring out the best in yourself and receive the best it can offer in return.
【1】What can we learn from Roosevelt’s words?
A.It is difficult to do our best.
B.It is important to be successful in life.
C.We should be strict with ourselves.
D.We should face the future with the most dreams.
【2】What happened to Frederick Loewe after he immigrated to America?
A.He lost his hearing.B.He led a hard life for a while.
C.He enjoyed great success.D.He became a famous pianist.
【3】Why did the three men pay Frederick?
A.They were supposed to do that.B.They wanted to show their sympathy.
C.They were moved by his performance.D.They wanted to make friends with him.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.Practice makes perfect.B.Never give up your dream.
C.It’s never too old to learn.D.Rome was not built in a day.

【题目】Asia’s mountain glaciers (冰川) will lose at least a third of their mass through global warming by the century’s end, with serious consequences for millions of people who rely on them for fresh water, researchers have said. The high mountains of Asia consist of a geographical region surrounding the Tibetan Plateau, holding the biggest store of frozen water outside the poles. It feeds many of the world’s great rivers, including the Ganges, the Indus and the Yarlung Zangbo River, on which hundreds of millions of people depend.
Nearly 200 nations adopted the Paris Agreement in 2015, which sets the goal of limiting warming to a level of “well below” 2°C, while “pursuing efforts” to achieve a lower ceiling of 1.5°C. Earth’s surface has already warmed by about 1°C, according to scientists.
The Asian high mountains, the new study said, were already warming more rapidly than the global average. A global temperature rise of 1.5°C would mean an average increase in the region of about 2.1°C, with differences between mountain ranges - all of which will warm by more than 1.5°C. The Hindu Kush mountain range would warm by about 2.3°C and the eastern Himalaya Mountains by 1.9°C, the study forecast.
“Even if temperatures stabilize at their current level, (glacier) mass loss will continue for decades to come,” the researchers added. “For the high mountain glaciers to survive, it is vital to reduce the global temperature increase to the lowest possible level.”
A study in July in the journal Nature Climate Change said there was only a 5% chance of holding global warming under 2°C. For 1.5°C, the chance was about 1%. On current trends, some experts project Earth is on track to warm by about 3°C.
【1】What is stressed about Asia’s mountain glaciers in the first paragraph?
A. The reason for its melting.
B. Its importance.
C. Its geographical condition.
D. The consequences caused by its decrease.
【2】What do we know about the temperature on the earth’s surface?
A. It keeps up its normal level.
B. It has risen too much since the Paris Agreement was made.
C. It is far below the level that the Paris Agreement demands.
D. It is near the lower ceiling that the Paris Agreement demands.
【3】How may we guarantee these glaciers, continued existence, according to researchers?
A. Hold global warming under 2°C.
B. Try to save water as much as we can.
C. Keep global temperature increase to a minimum.
D. Make the global temperature stable at its current level.
【4】How does the author develop the passage?
A. Giving examples. B. Describing.
C. Presenting data. D. Comparing.

【题目】SummaryWriting
Sociologists have long recognized that organization of less than 200individuals can operate through the free flow of information among the members.Once their size goes beyond this figure, the organizations are getting lessflexible. So it seems necessary to prevent total disorder resulting fromfailures of communication.
One solution to this problem would, of course, be tostructure large organizations into smaller units of a size that can act as agroup. By allowing these groups to build reliance on each other, largerorganizations can be built up. However, merely having groups of, say, 150 willnever of itself be a complete solution to the problems of the organization.Something else is needed: the people involved must be able to build directpersonal relationships. To allow free flow of information, they have to be ableto communicate with each other in a casual way. Maintaining too formal astructure of relationships inevitably prevents the way a system works.
The importance of this was drawn to my attention twoyears ago by the case of a TV station. Whether by chance or by design, it sohappened that there were almost exactly 150 people in the station. The wholeprocess worked very smoothly as an organization for many years until they weremoved into purpose-built accommodation. Then, for no apparent reason, the workseemed to be more difficult to do, not to say less satisfying.
It was some time before they work out what the problemwas. It turn out that, when the architects were designing the new building,they decided that the coffee room where everyone ate their sandwiches at lunchtimes was an unnecessary luxury and so did away with it. And with that, theyaccidentally destroyed the close social networks that strengthened the wholeorganization. What had apparently been happening was that, as people gatheredinformally over their sandwiches in the coffee room, useful information wascasually being exchanged.
