【题目】I am Peter Hodes, a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March 2012, I’ve done 89 trips ---- of those, 51 have been abroad, I have 42 hours to carry stem cells (干细胞) in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.
I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you ---- there are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient ---- please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed (改道) me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.
For this courier job, you’re consciously aware that in that box you’ve got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.
【1】 Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph 1?
A. provider B. collector
C. delivery man D. medical doctor
【2】 Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours?
A. The ice won’t last any longer.
B. The donor can only wait for that long.
C. The operation needs that much time.
D. He cannot stay away from his job too long.
【3】Which fight did the woman put Peter on first?
A. To Newark. B. To London.
C. To Providence. D. To Washington.
【答案】
【1】C
【2】A
【3】A
【解析】

【题目】Everybody in this world is different from one another. But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?
As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it's not easy to change later in life.
Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money.
According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail.
The ant-works first
Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don't care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.
The cricket-fun first
The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.
The snail-lives under pressure
The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure whether they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.
【1】People with the character of the snail would like to ________.
A. enjoy life at the moment without thinking much about the future
B. put work before everything else
C. live a luxury life at all costs
D. take the risk of investing a large sum of money
【2】Our beliefs and values are affected by the following except ________.
A. society B. our family
C. education D. money
【3】This passage mainly talks about ________.
A. the relation between man and insects
B. the spending nature of people
C. the insects in nature
D. the problems with dealing with money
【4】Which of the following has the character that the author prefers?
A. The ant. B. The cricket.
C. The snail. D. None of the above.

【题目】【1】 We’ve all heard about the power of our attitude, and that it's our attitude that determines how much we succeed in life.
1. Identify and understand what you want to change. The first step towards change is clearly understanding what needs to be changed. 【2】 When it comes to changing your attitude, you need to do an honest and in-depth self-evaluation so you could point out exactly which of your traits need to be improved or totally changed.
2.【3】
We all need to know that what we're trying to accomplish can in fact be achieved; that we can be more optimistic, more social or more patient. Find someone who has the kind of attitude that you want to have, and let his or her life give you inspiration and encouragement to move beyond your temporary failures in your journey towards becoming a better person.
3. Think about how your attitude change will affect your life. To be able to overcome all the difficulties that lie ahead of you in your journey towards self betterment, you need to figure out exactly what this supposed change could bring to your life. Will changing your attitude mean a happier family or social life? Will a change in your attitude mean a more successful career or business? Fix your mind on the things that would come as a result of your attitude change and you will have a greater chance of reaching your goal.
4. Choose the right company. As they say, “Bad company corrupts good character.” You don't expect yourself to be able to change if you go on surrounding yourself with people who possess all the negative traits that you want to change. Consider befriending new people, especially those who are optimistic and have a healthy attitude towards life. 【4】
5. 【5】 Often, the greatest obstacle between us and our goals is ourselves or our inability to trust in what we are able to do. If you don't believe in yourself or believe that you or your life can change, it just won't happen—you will either never start, or give up quickly so you won't have even given yourself the opportunity to succeed.
A. Believe that you are able to change.
B. Look for a role model.
C. You will see that your effort to change will be easier with these kinds of people as friends.
D. Setting clear goals is the key to success in any endeavor.
E. Our personalities and attitudes are developed through our relationships and experiences.
F. It is right to try hard to have a strong mind.
G. Our attitude towards life determines life's attitude towards us.

记叙文 | 曼德拉的去世及对他的缅怀 | 321 | ★★★☆☆ | 8分钟 |
People around the world are remembering Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s first black president. He died Thursday at the age of 95.
South African President Jacob Zuma said, ＂The nation has lost its greatest son, and our people have lost a father. ＂
Mandela had been in poor health for several years. He was repeatedly treated in hospital, most recently for a lung infection. He became infected with tuberculosis(肺结核) many years ago while in prison.
Nelson Mandela was the main leader in efforts to end white minority rule in South Africa. He spent 27 years in prison for his part in fighting apartheid(种族隔离)—the nation’s policy of discrimination(歧视)against blacks.
Many world leaders, past and present, are remembering Nelson Mandela.
Frederick W. de Klerk was South Africa’s last apartheid leader. He freed Mandela from prison in 1990. Later, the two men won the Nobel Peace Prize. Mr. de Klerk said people will remember Mandela for the importance he placed on reconciliation(和解) — being able to reach a settlementspan> between conflicting sides. He said their relationship was, in his words, ＂often stormy＂, but he said they were＂always able to come together at critical(关键的)moments. ＂
In the United States, President Barack Obama called Mandela an influential, brave and profoundly good human being. Mr. Obama said Mandela will be remembered for leaving a free South Africa at peace. ＂I am one of the countless millions who drew inspiration from Nelson Mandela’s life. My very first political action — the first thing I ever did that involved an issue, or a policy, or politics — was a protest against apartheid. I would study his words and his writings. ＂
In London, British Prime Minister David Cameron called Mandela a true global hero. In his words, a great light has gone out in the world.
【1】What does the underlined word ＂stormy＂ in Para. 6 mean?
A. rainy B. fierce C. peaceful D. challenging
【2】What can we learn from the passage?
A. Frederick W. de Klerk is still an enemy of Mandela.
B. President Barack Obama learned a lot from Nelson Mandela’s life.
C. Nelson Mandela fought for the independence of South Africa.
D. Jacob Zuma called Mandela a true global hero.

【题目】Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technologic I shift.
It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars y there doesn't seem to be a dear generational divide. The public overall is split on whether they'd like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.
The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how varying the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now-and no one can get one yet-but among those who are open to them, every age group is similarly involved.
Actually, this isn't surprising. Whereas older generations are sometimes unwilling to adopt new technologies, driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular. Older adults, especially those with limited moving or difficulty driving on their own, are one of the classic use-cases for driverless cars.
This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones.
When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are easily noticeable based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education. 59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.
Where a person lives matters, too. More people who live in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.
While there's reason to believe that interest in 8elf-driving cars is going up across the hoard, a person's age will have little to Ho with how self-driving cars can become mainstream. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.
【1】Which of the following can be the influence of a new technology, according to the passage?
A. It often reads to great inventions in other related fields.
B. It contributes greatly to the advance of society as a whole.
C. It further widens the gap between the old and the young.
D.It usually draws different reactions from different age groups.
【2】Why does the driverless car appeal to some old people?
A. It helps with their moving.
B. It saves their money and energy.
C. It adds to the safety of their travel.
D. It makes their life more interesting
【3】What is likely to affect one's attitude toward the driverless car?
A. The length of their driving experience.
B. The amount of training they received.
C. The location of their living place.
D. The field of their special interest.
