            • 1． （2016•日照一模）Billboard Music Awards of the Year 2015goes to Taylor Swift，a singer-songwriter，who has shaped and inspired the American music industry with her success．
              When Taylor Swift first came to public notice，she was a 17-year-old newcomer who loved singing to her own guitar．She was far more enthusiastic than skilled，but apparently threw spark of superb talent．
              Four year’s later，Swift has become a multi-awards winner，with the biggest selling albulns．For her  consummate performance，Taylor Swift was named Billboard magazine’s womall in 2011．She is the youngest artist to receive honors and several Billboard Music Awards，among them Top Country Album for the five-time platinum（白金） selling Speak Now，her third album that was released that year．
              “Taylol has shown the power of good songwriting with music of styles．”said Bill Werde，Billboard’s editorial director，“And at such a young age，Taylor has already made a major impact on music and has been an unbelievable role model for promising artists and young woman everywhere．”
              Swift is used to breaking chart records and winning honors since her career started．She followed that up in 2008with Fearless，which established her as a skilled songwriter with several hits，including Love Story，You Belong With Me and White Horse．
              Not surprisingly，the 6-time platinum Fearless is the most awarded album in country music history in the US and her overall worldwide sales now reach 20million albums and 40million songs downloads．Swift has spent the past year on the Speak NOW World Tour in support of her third album，and now she’s getting ready to go further．
              According to a recent interview with The New Yorker magazine，Swift has so far written about 10songs for a 2016album．She said the new albuna is about feelings of growing up and becoming an adult．
              “They’re sad if I'm being honest．”Swift told The New Yorker．“They’re about my heartbreaks and my moving on．But more importantly，they are about achieving contentment．You’re not always going to be ridiculously happy as you grow up．”

              A．a skilled songwriter    B．an outstanding artist

            • 2． This is a true story about a boy who，the world might say，was a terrible underachiever．While in the eighth grade，he failed subjects repeatedly．High school wasn’t much better； he flunked Latin，algebra，English，and received a grade of zero in physics．The boy managed to make the school golf team，but he lost the most important golf match of the season．
              It’s not that his peers（同龄人） disliked this boy； it’s just that they never really seemed to notice him much．Even“Hellos”in the hall were a rarity．Out of all the failures in his life，there was something that did hold great importance to this boy，his love of drawing．Although in high school，the cartoons he submitted to the yearbook were rejected，once out of school，the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he approached Walt Disney Studios with drawing works．I wish I could say the studios loved his work and immediately hired him，but such was not the case； another huge rejection．
              Despite his lack of successes，this boy did not give up．He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons，about a little boy who was regarded as a loser and a nobody．
              The name of this boy was Charles Schulz，the creator of the famous Charlie Brown and comic dog Snoopy．
              In life，it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody．We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work，or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall，and no one seems to notice or care．Deep inside，we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer，but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance，we may feel worthless，just like Charlie Brown who couldn’t even manage to fly a kite or kick a football properly．
              Just as Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent，so too，we must realize that nobody is a nobody．We all have special gifts and talents，and every human being is deserving and capable of being loved and appreciated．

              31．The underlined word“flunked”in Paragraph 1is closest in meaning to    ．
              A．failed     B．learned    C．achieved     D．misunderstood
              32．What can we infer about the boy in Paragraph 2？    
              A．He was hated by his peers．
              B．He achieved great success in drawing in high school．
              C．His work was refused by Walt Disney Studios．
              D．He earned the praise from Walt Disney Studios．
              33．When the boy suffered many defeats，he    ．
              A．gave up his dream finally           B．wrote some articles in magazines
              C．he turned to others for help        D．he wrote himself as a loser in cartoons
              34．In the last two paragraphs，we are advised    ．
              A．to open up our eyes
              B．to believe we can make some difference
              C．to learn more skills for development
              D．to ask for more appreciation and love
              35．Which of the following is the best title of the passage？    
              A．Nobody Is a Nobody．
              B．A Hard-working Boy Is Successful．
              C．We Should Turn Failure into Success．
              D．One Cannot Succeed without Talents．

            • 3． As more and more people speak the global languages of English，Chinese，Spanish，and Arabic，other languages are rapidly disappearing．In fact，half of the 6，000-7，000languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century，according to the United Nations Educational，Scientific，and Cultural Organization （UNESCO）．
              In an effort to prevent language loss，scholars from a number of organizations-UNESCO and National Geographic among them-have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect．
              Mark Turin，a scientist at the Macmillan Center，Yale University，who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas，is following in that tradition．His recently published book，A grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture，grows out of his experience living，working，and raising a family in a village in Nepal．
              Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin，who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India，Nepal，Bhutan，and China．But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record．
              At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials-including photographs，films，tape recordings，and field notes-which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection．
              Now，through the two organizations that he has founded-the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project-Turin has started a campaign to make such documents，found in libraries and stores around the world，available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected．Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet，Turin notes，the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities．

              56．Many scholars are making efforts to    ．
              A．promote global language
              B．rescue disappearing languages
              C．search for language communities
              D．set up language research organizations
              57．What does“that tradition”in Paragraph 3refer to？    
              A．Having records of the languages．
              B．Writing books on language teaching．
              C．Telling stories about language users．
              D．Living with the native speakers．
              58．What is Turin’s book based on？    
              A．The cultural studies in India．
              B．The documents available at Yale．
              C．His language research in Bhutan．
              D．His personal experience in Nepal．
              59．Which is true about Turin？    
              A．He wants to simply record the voices of the languages．
              B．He wants the young people to know more about their languages．
              C．He will not give the material found by himself to other scholars．
              D．He will not study the material found at the University of Cambridge．
              60．Which of the following best describes Turin’s work？    
              A．Write，sell and donate．
              B．Record，repair and reward．
              C．Design，experiment and report．
              D．Collect，protect and reconnect．

            • 4． Now 16years old，Kelsey has her cow-Iris，a 6-year-old Jersey with a silky tan coat and soulful brown eyes．She also has established Fort Bantam Creamery，a one-cow dairy based on a self-designed and profitable cow-share program．
              Kelsey’s Fort Bantam Creamery customers purchase a share of Iris for 15，andthenpayafeetoKelsey（3.50per half gallon of milk） to board，care for and milk that share of the cow．At 3.50 per half gallon，Iris’milk is about double the cost of milk from grocery stores in the area，but no one is complaining．One of Iris’share holders drives more than 100 miles round trip to get the milk，on top of paying a 15dollars ferry toll．
              Kelsey had her own ideas for Iris’care．She says she wanted her cow to be grass-fed because milk from grass-fed cows is higher in carotene（胡萝卜素）and vitamin E than milk from grain-fed cows．In part，that’s because fresh grass has more of these nutrients than grain．Another factor behind the high nutrient content is that a grass-fed cow produces less milk than a grain-fed cow，and because any given cow has only a set amount of vitamins to transfer to her milk； the less milk she produces，the more vitamins are in each glass．
              “One thing that people should know before they get a dairy cow，”Kelsey says，“is that they take a lot of your time．”Kelsey milks Iris by hand twice a day，305days a year．When Kelsey started，she says，it took her about 45minutes to milk the cow； today，she gets the job done in less than half that time．Having a cow to milk every day also means little time off．“If you do go on vacation，”Kelsey says，“you have to get someone to do the milking for you，which is not as easy as getting a neighbor to watch your dog or cat．”When she goes away，Kelsey is fortunate to have a cheese-making friend，Charlene Osman，who gladly milks Iris in exchange for the milk．

              64．Which of the following is TRUE according the passage？    
              A．The nutrient content of milk has little to do with the cow’s food．
              B．Now Kelsey does the milking as skillfully as Charlene Osman．
              C．Charlene Osman can gain the milk without paying Kelsey a fee
              D．Jersey is a kid who wears a silk coat and has emotional eyes．
              65．What does the underlined word“Shareholders”in Paragraph 2refer to？    
              A．People who pay Kelsey for partial ownership of Iris

              C．People who transport milk products for Kelsey
              D．People who govern Kelsey’s sales of raw milk

            • 5． When I was a high school student，mathematics looked like a big hurdle（障碍）for me and several of my classmates．When we reached the ninth class，we got Mr．Iyer，a strict maths teacher who was also our class teacher．He always stuck to his discipline．We had to arrive on time，pay undivided attention to his lectures，and dared not neglect any of h is homework．
              Even so，as our class teacher，we got to know him better．Noticing some of us fidgeting one day as the mid-term exams approached，he stopped solving a mathematical problem to ask us why．“There’s too much to do，”we sighed．“We’re afraid we’ll never manage to finish our revision before the exams．”
              “Nothing is impossible，”Mr．Iyer told us．“This classroom is on the second floor．Do you have a problem reaching here？”
              We reacted with blank stares．
              “No，you don’t!”he said，answering his own question．“You have a staircase to help you climb up to this level．No one expects you to make it in two giant leaps．You simply take one step at a time．Any task can be solved if you focus on the immediate action to be taken．The rest w ill take care of itself，if you keep at it．One step at a time．That’s the secret．”
              Then he wrote down an o ld motto on the blackboard-the longest journey starts with a single step．Having heard his staircase analogy（比拟），w e understood why he asked us the question and we saw him in a new light．
              Most of my classmates scored distinctions in maths．And I went on to become an English teacher．To this day，whenever I pass on Mr．Iyer’s invaluable advice to my own students，they brighten up at the prospect of a lighter academic burden．

              24．What can we learn from the first paragraph？    
              A．Maths was difficult for most of the author’s classmates．
              B．The students thought Mr．Iyer was not a good teacher．
              C．Mr．Iyer would punish the students neglecting his discipline．
              D．The students showed great fear to Mr．Iyer．

              A．excited    
              B．nervous        
              C．hardworking  
              D．calm
              26．Why did the author and his classmates react with blank stares？    
              A．Because they were too tired to understand what Mr．Iyer said．
              B．Because they felt surprised at such an unbelievable problem．
              C．Because they had no interest in any subjects that were no good for their exam s．
              D．Because they first thought reaching the second floor had no connection with the worry．

              B．one can reach his/her goals in a giant leap
              C．tasks can be solved under the guide of the teacher

            • 6． It was Mother’s Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son，Tenyson．As we were leaving，we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete．Her husband was with her，but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock．
              Walking towards the scene，Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple．He said to me，“Mum，it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone．”
              At the front of the supermarket a charity group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds．Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower．“It will make her feel better，”he said．I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea．So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up．“Just take it，”she replied．“I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture．”
              By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived，and were attending the injured woman．As we walked up to her，my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment．He said he was just too scared to go up to her．
              Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him，“My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better．”
              At that，the old man started crying and said，“Thank you so much，you have a wonderful son．Happy Mother’s Day to you．”
              The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower，telling her who it was from．Though badly hurt and shaken，the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile．

            • 7． A lot of small business owners put themselves in an embarrassed position in their own companies．Consider this scene：the company owner who has thirty individuals working for him in the business does all the work．
              Stop the actual wrong belief that you're the only one who can do the JOB!
              You are an individual．．The best way to replace yourself is not through someone else，but with a System!A system or program doesn't always make reference to something high-tech．It's more about the actual administration process flow that gets issues running smoothly．
              Systemizing your business is vitally important for the success of the company．About 80%of what's completed in your business can be systemized．Take a moment to determine all of the routine things that are done in your company．Now record the best way to achieve these duties．
              However，creating systems isn't enough．You have to ensure that the methods are simple to follow，and easy to complete．If you do not allow it to be easy，it won't be done，or at best it won't be consistent．
              With systems and processes in position．it's simply using a few people to operate individual systems．A great number of companies that possess established systems have made great achievements through the years．Burger King is a good actual life example．
              To construct a great business，replace yourself with a good program right now!

              28．What does"an embarrassed position"in Paragraph 1refer to？    
              A．The employees are made to do all the work．

              C．Nobody would like to work for business owners．
              D．There are not enough employees in the company．
              29．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3imply？    
              A．It's necessary for the company owner to do all the work．

              C．The company owner should learn to rest．

              C．Your company will be successful so long as you have a system．
              D．It will help a company run smoothly．

            • 8． If you didn't look  at them，they weren't there，right？On seeing those in rags on the corner，I only wanted the light to turn green fast enough so that I wouldn't have to keep pretending not to see them．
                   Then，one day，as I was holding the hand of my best friend Jane who was young but dying of breast cancer，she told me that she made every moment count by slowing down and by seeing everything．I held her hand for five years and then she passed away．She did teach me something．It took a while for her words to really sink in．I can be a slow learner．
                    I started by seeing everything，and focused on their presence．One day I saw a Vietnam veteran（老兵）．I asked him what would make his day．

                    I bought him a cup of coffee a stack of pancakes，some eggs，and so on．After our meal Together，I asked him if there was anything else that would make his life a bit easier．
              “A new pair of socks，“he said．
                   Socks，really？I actually happened to be wearing a nice pair of wool hiking socks at that very  moment．I  told  him that I wanted to give him the pair I was wearing，if he would accept  t．Finally，he agreed．We sat down on a bench，and he started to first take off his boots，then remove the black socks that had once been white off his feet．I think a layer or two of skin might have come off with them．Taking his new pair of socks，he held the socks up to his cheeks and said they were warm and smelled as good as me，pools of tears in his eyes．
                   Such a simple luxury  （奢侈品）  I  used  to take  for granted．Now，I  always  have  an  extra pair with me in my car．They are always my best pair，just waiting to be given away．

            • 9． In the late summer of 2004，days before I was to move to a city in China，to teach English for a year，I spoke to an acquaintance who had spent a few years in the country．
              “Holidays are hard，”he said．“But strangely，not so much Christmas．Christmas isn’t that bad．It’s Thanksgiving that’s hard．”
              At the time，surviving the holidays was the least of my worries．I was moving to a country where I didn’t speak the language，understand the culture，or know the history，in order to do a job that I had never done and didn’t know how to do．And not only that，I was going to a city that I hadn’t even heard of，and could find no information about online．Other than that，I was completely equipped．
              Within a couple of months，the euphoria of being in China had worn off，and I found myself settling into a routine．I taught two hour-long classes of 15and 16-year-olds，and，because I assigned no homework and rarely gave out tests，spent the afternoons either reading or making a halfhearted attempt to learn Chinese．
              When Thanksgiving came around，I decided it’d be easiest if I just ignored it．In China，this isn’t difficult； unlike Christmas，which many Chinese people cerebrate with decorations，music，and festivities，Thanksgiving slips past unnoticed-it’s just another Thursday．
              And so it was．As I sat on my sofa，however，watching another film from the James Bond box set I bought for 12 dollars at a local shop，I felt a sense of shame．What was I doing？It was Thanksgiving，damn it．I needed to have a proper Thanksgiving dinner．
              There was only one problem．As in most small Chinese cities，there’s no turkey，or cranberry sauce，or stuffing，yams，pumpkin pie，or anything else．In fact，in the entire city of 700，000 people，there was exactly one restaurant whose food even resembled，at a distance，Thanksgiving fare．
              Kentucky Fried Chicken．And so that’s where I headed．

              26．Before beginning his teaching in a Chinese city，the writer    ．

              B．little expected the hardships

            • 10． We regularly hear how important consumer spending is for the economy．The story goes like this：the more consumers spend，the more money circulates in the economy，which contributes to healthy job growth and profits．Keynes，a British economist，went as far as to say that individuals saving their money may actually be hurting the economy．Sounds troubling，doesn't it？
              Fear not．You aren't actually hutting anyone else by saving money．Strong economic growth only comes from one place：savings．Not consumption．In fact，economic activity should not be mistaken for economic growth．For example，somebody takes their money，walks into a store，and purchases goods．The store increases its revenue．
              But what happens to all of those goods and services that people have chosen not to consume by saving their money？Simple：Other people are allowed to consume them．Think of it this way：When you lend out your savings，you are actually saying，"Here，I am not going to consume right now，so why don't you？"Banks simply play the middleman：they collect lots of people's savings and then lend out lots of funds．
              It takes an unbelievable amount of goods and services to construct a building．It takes food，shelter，and entertainment for all of the workers，as well．Without savings，it is quite impossible to finance such a construction．The coordination（协调）between savings and consumption is a necessary basis for sound economic growth．This coordination is also why consumer lending （say，to borrow a big sum of money to buy a car） is not productive，in a strict sense．It doesn't increase the net （净的） amount of wealth of an economy．Those savings could have been used to construct，say，factory equipment．
              None of this means consumption and spending are"bad"things．They simply do not make us wealthier．Alter all，the final goal of production and savings is to consume．But to say that consumption is the engine of economic growth is to put the cart before the horse．Or，to rephrase：the consumption of wealth can never make you wealthier．Happier，perhaps．Wealthier，no．
