He is an expert on black holes . He has devoted his whole life to digging into the beginning and the end of the universe. “My goal is simple,” Hawking once said. “It is to completely understand the universe(宇宙), why it is as it is and why it is there at all.”‎ Hawking’s achievements are even greater if you think about his disability（残疾）. When he was 21, Hawking caught a bad illness that slowly stopped him from moving or talking. For a period of time, he had no way to communicate except by blinking(眨眼). Later he sat on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moved two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He selected his words from the screen, which were then spoken by a voice synthesizer(音响合成器).‎ ‎“I have had the disease for most of my life,” Hawking once said, “Yet it has not stopped me from being successful at my work.”‎ ‎ Though Hawking was a disabled man , he made great achievements . He received many awards and prizes for his work during his lifetime. This included winning the Albert Einstein Award, which stands for the highest achievement in theoretical(理论的) physics.‎ ‎ Despite the fact that he is no longer with us, his legacy （遗赠）will surely live on. As Sajid Javid, a UK government minister, put it, “A brief history on Earth; an eternity（永恒的） in the stars.”‎ ‎21. From the text we can learn________.‎ ‎ A. Hawking is more famous than Einstein. ‎ B. Hawking is less famous than Einstein.‎ ‎ C. Both Hawking and Einstein are very famous.‎ ‎ D. Neither Hawking nor Einstein is famous.‎ ‎22.

The illness kept him from moving and talking.‎ ‎ C. He communicated with others by speaking.‎ ‎ D. The illness stopped him from being successful.‎ ‎ ‎ B There was a boy in India who was sent by his parents to a boarding school(寄宿学校). Before being sent away this boy was the brightest student in his class. He was at the top in every competition. He was a champion.‎ But the boy changed after leaving home and attending the boarding school. His grades started dropping. He hated being in a group. He was lonely all the time. And there were especially dark times when he felt like killing himself. All of this was because he felt worthless and that no one loved him.‎ His parents started worrying about the boy. But even they did not know what was wrong with him. So his dad decided to travel to the boarding school and talk with him.‎ They sat on the bank of the lake near the school. The father started asking him casual questions about his classes, teachers and sports. After some time his dad said, “Do you know son, why I am here today?”‎ The boy answered back, “to check my grades?”‎ ‎“No, no” his dad replied, “I am here to tell you that you are the most important person for me. I want to see you happy. I don’t care about grades. I care about you. I care about your happiness. YOU ARE MY LIFE.”‎ These words caused the boy’s eyes to fill with tears. He hugged his dad. They didn’t say ‎ anything to each other for a long time.‎ Now the boy had everything he wanted. He knew there was someone on this earth who cared for him deeply. He meant the world to someone. And today this young man is in college at the top of his class and no one has ever seen him sad!‎ Thanks a lot dad. YOU ARE MY LIFE.‎ ‎24.

If we say the questions are casual, we mean they are________.‎ A. unimportant B. strange C. special D. difficult ‎26. Why were the boy’s eyes filled with tears when he heard what his father said?‎ A. Because his father didn’t care about his grades any more.‎ B. Because he hadn’t had a talk with his father for a long time.‎ C. Because he had a chance to say his worries.‎ D. Because he was deeply moved by his father’s words.‎ ‎27. The passage mainly tells us never to _________.‎ A. send a small boy to a boarding school B. care too much about a student’s grades C. pay no attention to the power of caring D. miss the chance to say thanks to our fathers C Many people tend to complain about not having good friends in their lives. Sadly, they seem to think that their own company(陪伴) is not enough to make them happy. Nothing could be further from the truth, though. In order to get along with others, the first thing you need to do is learn to get along with yourself. Only in this way will you succeed in developing healthy, solid relationships with others.‎ Listen to your inner voice. Remember that inner voice that keeps whispering to you what you really want and need as well as what you do not really want and need. It is about time you started listening to it. In order to get to know yourself in depth, it is important to learn and accept what you ‎ want and what you do not want.‎ Learn to enjoy your own company. You will be surprised to find out how many things you can do by yourself and actually have fun in the process. Reading romantic novels, poetry or science fiction is only a few of the things that you can do by yourself, which not only can offer you hours of enjoyment, but also the chance to get to know yourself better.‎ Satisfy yourself. Pay special attention to your personal hygiene(卫生). Do your hair and nails often and experiment with new styles. Follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly to stay in good shape. No matter how busy your daily schedule is, always find at least an hour per day for yourself, when you can either relax doing absolutely nothing, or doing something that you enjoy.‎ Learn to respect your own boundaries(分界线). Find out what your boundaries are and learn to respect them. You are the only one who knows what you can and what you cannot accept.‎ ‎28. If you want to have a good relationship with others, you should first ________.‎ A. get into the habit of living alone B. make many friends in society C. always tell the truth D. learn to be your own best friend ‎29. What is the purpose of listening to your inner voice?‎ A. To keep a good state of mind. B. To know more about yourself.‎ C. To enjoy the time by yourself. D. To form a relationship with others.‎ ‎30. In order to satisfy yourself , the writer gives some suggestions EXCEPT ________.‎ A. eating healthily B. exercising regularly ‎ C. experimenting with new hair style D. keeping on cleaning the house ‎31. What is the structure(结构) of the passage?‎ ‎ ‎ D What Is Self-tracking All about”‎ Have you ever monitored（监测） something about yourself? Perhaps you’ve tracked（追踪） ‎ how many kilometers you’ve run, how many hours you’ve slept or how many calories you’ve eaten in a day. ‎ If so, you’ve taken part in a movement called the “Quantified Self Movement.” Individuals（个人）gather information AD about their daily activities in this popular movement, also called self-tracking. This may sound difficult, but technology is making the process easier. ‎ Perhaps you’ve wanted to change a bad habit but couldn’t. Self-tracking may be your answer. The idea is to take information about your everyday activities and analyze them to help form a healthier lifestyle. ‎ Recently, tools such as smart phones, journals and apps, along with newly published wearable things, are making self-tracking extremely easy. Today, one can use Fitbit, the Jawbone Up, Google Glass or a smart watch to record personal data including sleeping hours, stress levels, heart rate and mood. ‎ So why does a person self-track? Someone may be trying to lose weight or improve their sleep patterns. Another person feels tired after eating. Self-tracking could help him to know what foods make him sleepy and watch his diet. ‎ Monitoring daily activities isn’t a new concept. In past years, athletes and their coaches kept notes detailing nutrition(营养), training and sleep patterns in order to achieve an athletic goal. Similarly, doctors have also helped patients to record parts of their lifestyles and eating habits to help fight allergies, headaches and other health problems. However, it wasn’t until 2007 that magazine editors Gary Wolf and Kim Kelly, who started tracking every move they made, coined the term “Quantified Self.” Wolf says that the new tools will change our sense of self with the purpose of making us more effective in the world. ‎ Although self-tracking has many advantages, Dennis Nash, president of Data Speaks Health Solutions, says self-tracking has its drawbacks（不利之处）. Once people start tracking their daily activities, it can become an addition people like to do often. Also, they might begin to worry too much about their health. ‎ While self-tracking doesn’t guarantee（保证） that one’s quality of life will improve, it can highlight ‎ ‎（突出，强调）the importance of eating well and exercising daily. After all, the Quantified Self Movement’s focus is motivating people to apply enough energy to make healthier choices. ‎ ‎32. People choose self-tracking because _______.‎ A. it collects personal data and leads to self-improvements B. it records how many hours you sleep a day C. it watches your eating habits ‎ D. it increases your movement ‎33. The writer mentions tools such as smart phones and apps in Paragraph 4 to show _______.‎ A. we depend too much on them ‎ B. it is easier to do self-tracking ‎ C. they do harm to people’s health ‎ D. equipment is necessary to do self-tracking ‎ ‎34. Self-tracking was firstly put forward by _______.‎ A. scientists of Data Speaks Health Solutions B. athletes and their coaches C. doctors and their patients D. two magazine editors ‎ ‎35. You can find this article in the part of _______.‎ A. Education B. Travel C. Health D. News 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填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job.    36   ‎ So, you have to give a speech and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble （犯错误）over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”   Cheer up!  37   Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then ‎ spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly.   38   Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.   Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief.  39   And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.   If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet?   40   A. It doesn’t have to be that bad. B. Take several deep breaths before your speech. C. This article gives some advice on how to give good speech. D. Say what you have to say and then stop. E. Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with. F. Never forget your audience.
