It’s bigger than Texas and growing. The way to clean it up now is to catch it with nets. That is both costly and slow. Instead, the Ocean Cleanup Project proposes a 62-mile-long floating barrier that would use natural currents to trap trash. If next year’s trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2020. It could reduce the trash by 42% over 10 years.‎ Easy-On Shoes In 2012, Matthew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is to go to college,” he wrote, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.” Nike assigned a design team to the challenge. This year, they came out with their solution: the FlyEase. The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike FlyEase shoes sells for $ 130.‎ An Airport for Drones（无人机）‎ As Amazon, Google, and others get ready for drone delivery service, there is one big question: What kinds of home bases will their drones have? Rwanda, in Africa, may have the answer. There, workers will soon start work on three “drone ports”. The goal is to make it easier to transport food, medical supplies, electronics, and other goods through the hilly countryside. Construction is set to be completed in 2020.‎ ‎21. What’s the advantage of the Ocean Vacuum?‎ A. It can be a money-saver. B. It can grow year by year.‎ C. It can tear plastic into pieces. D. It can be put into wide use ‎ soon.‎ ‎22. What do we know about Nike?‎ A. It offers free shoes to the disabled. B. It is designing new shoes frequently.‎ C. It provides customer-friendly services. D. It responded to Matthew’s request passively.‎ ‎23. Why is Rwanda setting up “drone ports”?‎ A. Because road travel there is rough.‎ B. Because there are too many drones.‎ C. Because they’re easier to construct than roads.‎ D. Because they are receptive to new technology.‎ B Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, or else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through Scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased（停止）. When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.‎ What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed in my mind. “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.”‎ To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). In ‎ fact, the battle of life. Of existence. Is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.‎ ‎24. Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?‎ A. Wealth results from honest effort.‎ B. The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.‎ C. For some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than Scotch and soda.‎ D. The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.‎ ‎25. The underlined sentence “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means ________.‎ A. Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face B. No pains, no gains C. Failure is the mother of success D. Bread comes from the sweat on your face ‎26. We learn from the passage that the author ________.‎ A. was a wealthy person in the community B. held a positive attitude towards an active life C. was fond of associating with celebrities（名人）‎ D. kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed ‎27. What is implied in the passage by the writer?‎ A. To use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.‎ B. Where there is a will, there is a way.‎ C. As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.‎ D. If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.‎ C Increasing numbers of airports, especially in Europe, are promoting a “silent airport” idea. It is to reduce noise pollution, such as airport-wide announcements,‎ ‎ without sacrificing timely and helpful updates of information.‎ International airports were once characterized by their high voices, competing gate announcements and so on.‎ This is all changing.‎ Angela Gittens, director general of Airports Council International (ACI), says there is a growing desire among airports and airlines they serve to “create a calm, relaxed atmosphere” without being disturbed by announcements.‎ ‎“Passengers can relax while they wait for their flight to board in the common airside lounges（休闲区）, and food and drink areas,” she says.‎ In June, Helsinki Airport in Finland – a country where the tourism slogan is “Silence, Please” – became the most recent airport to adopt the silent concept.‎ As part of its commitment to quieting things down, announcements for flights are made only in boarding gate areas.‎ Lost track of time in the shop?‎ Too bad.‎ Nobody’s going to call you to your flight, as announcements in all terminals will be made only in exceptional emergency circumstances.‎ Heikki Koski, vice president of Helsinki Airport, says that improved flight information display systems and interactive kiosks（交互式自助服务机）, together with advances in mobile technology, are changing the way airports communicate with passengers.‎ At Munich Airport, InfoGate kiosks allow for video-based, face-to-face conversation with a live customer service representative in the traveler’s language of choice. Interactive signs, on the other hand, give directions at the touch of finger. Passengers can tap a “you are here” display to get directions and approximate walking times to their destinations.‎ Of course, an airport will never be as silent as a temple.‎ There will continue to be a need for airport-wide emergency announcements, along with boarding calls.‎ But at silent airports, the later can be restricted to specific gates, as has ‎ been adopted in Helsinki.‎ ‎28. What is Angela Gittens’ opinion on the silent airport concept?‎ A. It makes airport noise-free.‎ B. It is intended for passengers’ benefit.‎ C. It has changed international airports’ reputation.‎ D. It has encouraged the catering industry in airports.‎ ‎29. What should passengers pay close attention to at Helsinki Airport?‎ A. Their boarding time. B. Finland’s tourism slogan.‎ C. The shops’ opening hours. D. The “you are here” display.‎ ‎30. Why is Munich Airport mentioned in the next?‎ A. To show its popularity. B. To introduce InfoGate kiosks.‎ C. To prove Heikki Koski’s words. D. To be compared with Helsinki Airport.‎ ‎31. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Technology quiets airports down B. Can airports be as quiet as temples?‎ C. Silent airports all around the world D. Technology helps airports become interactive D Bring any group of business owners or managers together, ask them the best way to promote their organizations, and you’ll get different answers. That comes as no surprise. When it comes to promoting a business, trying to find the single choice is rarely wise. You’ll see business owners and managers try radio advertising. When that doesn’t produce the results they want, they’ll change to sending direct mail. When that doesn’t create a jump in sales, they’ll buy TV commercials. When that falls short of their expectations, they’ll try a new on-line strategy… and it goes on and on.‎ For most companies, the best approach is a mix of different channels, organized ‎ in ways that allow each to build upon the others. The channel that will work best in a given situation depends on a lot of factors, including the company itself, its audience, the message being conveyed, the environment, and many more.‎ Just that radio worked well for a company’s last effort doesn’t mean that TV advertising wouldn’t be a better choice this time. Or maybe the right channel is direct mail. There’s no simple answer, because there are so many variables（变量）. If your audience is broad, then maybe radio or newspaper advertising is the right choice. If you’re targeting a carefully defined group, such as former customers, direct mail or email will probably perform better.‎ There are two important lessons here. The first is not to concentrate on trying to find a single channel that will serve all of the company’s needs, because it just doesn’t exist. The second lesson is that before you spend the first dollar to promote your business, you need to do more than a little learning. You’ll really need to understand your customers, your marketplace, your competitors, and the environments in which you do business. And you need a good understanding of what makes one marketing channel right for one situation, but not another.‎ ‎32. According to Paragraph 1, there are no ________.‎ A. cheap ads. B. unsuccessful ads. C. perfect ads. D. all-purpose ads.‎ ‎33. What is the best way to promote a business?‎ A. Using a channel that serves all of your budget.‎ B. Putting ads on various channels at the same time.‎ C. Creating an ad that appeals to all your customers.‎ D. Advertising on a channel available to consumers.‎ ‎34. When it comes to choosing an ad for a business, we should ________.‎ A. stay away from TV advertising. B. choose it based on the specific situation.‎ C. advertise on the radio or on the newspaper . D. choose it according to your customers’ budget.‎ ‎35. Before deciding on a marketing channel, you need to ________.‎ A. ask for your customers’ advice B. compare different advertising C. realize the problems with your business D. make research about all related factors 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。‎ ‎“Organic produce has become increasingly popular in recent years. However, “organic” does not mean “pesticide-free”（无农药的）or “chemical-free”. In fact, organic farmers are allowed to use a wide variety of chemical sprays and powders on their crops.‎ ‎ 36 It means that these pesticides, if used, must be got from natural sources, not synthetically（人工合成地）manufactured. Also, these pesticides must be applied using equipment that has not been used to apply any synthetic materials for the past three years. 37 What’s more, most organic farmers, and even some conventional farmers, employ mechanical and culture tools to help control pests.‎ Many people believe organic produce is healthier and safer. Nobody bothered to look at whether natural chemicals are harmful. 38 But when the studies were done, you found that about half of the natural chemicals studied could cause cancer. 39 We assume that “natural” chemicals were better and safer than synthetic materials, but we were wrong. 40 ‎ A. And the land being planted cannot have been treated with synthetic materials for that period either.‎ B. Thus, we should be more cautious in our acceptance of “natural” as being harmless.‎ C. There are many choices and decisions that we, as consumers, are asked to make.‎ D. It should be noted that we don’t know which system is more harmful.‎ E. This is a case where everyone made the same dangerous mistake.‎ F. That was because it was assumed that they posed（构成）little risk.‎ G. So what does organic mean?‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（百强校英语解析团队专供）（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题l.5分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Those who believe that they will never do well in a particular area probably never will.
