In the past 12 months, more than 20 provinces have introduced many policies to encourage students to start their own companies, such as allowing them to quit studying but keep their student status for two to eight years. But a report by human resources website Zhaopin released recently still found that only 3.1 percent of students said they will start their own business, down from 6.3 percent in 2015.‎ ‎ “The Chinese government, universities and investors have provided a friendly environment for young startups. However, the failure rate of fresh graduates founding startups is still too high due to the lack of experience, resources and networking," said Wang Yixin, a senior consultant at Zhaopin. "In addition, universities have paid a lot of attention to innovation and creative thinking instead of starting up companies. This is another reason for the low desire on campus to found startups."‎ ‎　 At the same time, college graduates’ interest in further education has also declined, leading to an increase in students wanting employment from 71.2 percent last year to 75.6 percent this year. Nearly 30 percent of those graduates accepted offers from the internet industry.‎ Though some geniuses in the Internet industry created miracles, many industry insiders hold the idea that before one starts up, one has to know how to produce products, how to sell them, how to manage a company. Those lessons you cannot expect a fresh graduate to know so the students should work a few years first. They also insist that students complete their studies first because a diploma still matters in china.‎ ‎21. The government are trying to encourage students to _________.‎ ‎ A. find employment after graduation ‎ ‎ B. continue their study at school ‎ C. set up their own businesses ‎ ‎ D. leave school without a diploma ‎22. The 2nd and 3rd paragraphs focus on ________.‎ ‎ A. what contributes to the success of starting a business ‎ B. why there are more students choosing to find employment ‎ C. how students’ interest in further education shapes their career views ‎ D. who are working together to create a good environment for young startups ‎23. What is the industry insiders’ suggestion to the university students?‎ ‎ A. Immediately start their own companies after graduation ‎ B. Start their own companies while at school ‎ C. Quit study to start their own companies ‎ D. Finish studies and work a few years first B ‎ Years ago, a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast. He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic because of the awful storms. As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received a steady stream of refusals.‎ ‎ Finally, a short thin man approached the farmer. “Are you a good farmhand?” the farmer asked him. “Well, I can sleep when the wind blows.” answered the little man.‎ ‎ Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, desperate for help, hired him. The little man worked well around the farm, busy from dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the man’s work.‎ ‎ Then one night the wind howled loudly in from offshore. Jumping out of bed, the farmer rushed to the man’s sleeping quarters（地方）. He shook the little man and yelled, “Get up! A storm is coming! Tie things down before they blow away!”‎ The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, “No sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows.”‎ Annoyed by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on the spot. Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. To his amazement, he discovered that the cows were in the barn, the chickens were in the coops, and the doors were barred. The windows were tightly closed. Everything was tied down. Nothing could blow away.‎ The farmer then understood what the little man meant, so he returned to his bed to sleep while the wind blew.‎ ‎24. What does the underlined word “reluctant” in Paragraph 1 mean? ‎ ‎ A. happy B. unwilling ‎ ‎ C. interested D. eager ‎25. Why did the farmer hire the little man?‎ ‎ A. The little man was hard-working ‎ B. He couldn’t find any other worker ‎ C. The little man was a good farmhand ‎ D. He was satisfied with the little man’s answer ‎26. How did the farmer feel about his new farmhand’s work at first?‎ ‎ A. Delighted B. Disappointed ‎ ‎ C. Annoyed D. Interested ‎27. What did the farmhand really mean by saying he could sleep in blowing wind?‎ ‎ A. No wind could wake him up from his sleep ‎ ‎ B. The wind comforts him to fall asleep easily ‎ C. He enjoys sleeping with the wind blowing ‎ D. He is always well-prepared for emergencies C Many Chinese kids，known as “leftbehind” children，hardly ever see their parents，because their parents are migrant workers.‎ Li Ling,11，is a leftbehind child.Her parents have been working in Zhejiang for 10 years，while she lives with her grandparents in Guangdong.She was reunited with her parents ‎ last Spring Festival.As the number of migrant workers in China increases，the number of leftbehind children is rising fast.Li is one of the 61.02 million leftbehind children under 17.They account for 37.7 percent of rural children and 21.88 percent of all Chinese children.‎ ‎“The large number of leftbehind children has already become a social issue.If left unsolved，it will cause serious problems，”Wang Zhenyao，director of the China Philanthropy Research Institute，told China Daily.The education level of adults supervising (监督) these children is generally not that high.They can only take care of the children’s personal safety and daily living，being unable to care for their educational and spiritual needs.Meanwhile，the absence of parental support will make some leftbehind children lack selfconfidence.They may be slower in physical and emotional growth than their peers.Others may even become “problem youths”．‎ To solve this problem，the government is taking action.For instance,30 provinces and cities have allowed certain children to attend school and take the college entrance exam in the city where their parents are.However，Wang suggested that the country do more，such as making policies encouraging migrant workers to work in their hometowns.He also said that a wellbalanced child welfare system is needed.“These children are the future of the nation，so they deserve our loving care and protection，” Wang said.‎ ‎28．Leftbehind kids hardly see their parents because________.‎ A．they are poor and in rural areas B．they are brought up by their grandparents C．their parents are making a living in other cities D．their parents don’t go back home on Spring Festival ‎29．Which of the following is true according to the passage?‎ A．Li Ling hasn’t seen her parents for about 10 years.‎ B．Leftbehind children have become problem youths.‎ C．There are 61.02 million leftbehind children in China.‎ D．Much remains to be done to settle the leftbehind kids issue.‎ ‎30．The purpose of the passage is________.‎ A．to criticize the migrant workers who leave their children at home B．to focus on the present situation of leftbehind children C．to worry about the present situation of leftbehind children D．to call on the government to educate the migrant workers ‎31．In which column of a newspaper can we most probably find this passage?‎ A．Education.　 B．Society.‎ C．Entertainment.　 D．Employment.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ D ‎ As the longer life and rapid decrease in the laborage population are expected，extending the retirement age is a wise choice for the government.This is why at the Third Plenum (全会) of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China it was agreed that there should be a study on the subject.‎ It is undoubtedly necessary for the government to adjust its policies to meet the ‎ challenge of an increasingly aging society. According to the government，China’s senior citizens above the age of 60 will reach 200 million，about 14.8 percent of the population，by the end of this year，and the figure is expected to grow to 248 million by the year of 2020 and more than 400 million by 2050，when they will account for 30 percent of the population. Meanwhile，extending the retirement age will result in several benefits—slowing the rapid increase of the retired，reducing the rapid decline in experienced workers and keeping the laborage population at a considerable size for stable economic development.‎ However，before the policy is drawn up there will need to be thorough research，so there can be careful consideration of the interests of all parties to make sure that the new policy does not harm the interests of workers in different jobs.‎ There are 112 million workers who do heavy physical labor and may not be willing to put off their retirement to a later age.And the opinions of government employees and other whitecollar workers will also need to be listened to before a policy is introduced to extend their retirement to a later age.‎ No doubt it will be impossible to please all，but it should be possible to make the policy acceptable to the most.Anyway，any extensions that will hopefully help reduce the negative influences of our increasingly aging society also need to be fair.‎ ‎32．The text mainly tells us________.‎ A．China is going to enter an aging society B．China has planned to extend the retirement age C．extending the retirement age will bring about multiple benefits D．all people agree to accept the policy ‎33.Which of the following is true?‎ A．China’s old people above the age of 50 will be about 14.8 percent of the population.‎ B．There will be about 248 million elders by 2050.‎ C．Extending the retirement age may reduce the experienced workers.‎ D．Extending the retirement age may contribute to the economic development of China.‎ ‎34．What can be inferred from the text?‎ A．All the workers will be pleased with the policy.‎ B．The whitecollar workers go against the policy.‎ C．There can be many difficulties in extending the retirement age.‎ D．The government should please all so as to give up the policy.‎ ‎35．What is the author’s attitude towards the policy?‎ A．Doubtful.　 B．Objective.‎ C．Optimistic.　 D．Opposed.‎ 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。‎ No personal success, achievement, or goal, can be realized without self-discipline. _____36___ It is the ability to control one’s impulses, emotions, desires and behavior. To possess it is to be able to make the decisions, take the actions, and carry out your plan ‎ regardless of the obstacles, discomfort, or difficulties that may come in your way.‎ How to develop self-discipline? We’ll explore it together.‎ ‎• Start with baby steps. No process takes place overnight. ________37________ So, begin by making the decision to go forward and learning what it takes to get there.‎ ‎• Learn what motivates you and what your bad triggers are. ________38________ Sometimes it is very difficult to fight off urges, so know the areas where your resistance is low and how to avoid those situations. Remove the temptations and surround yourself with encouraging items such as motivating slogans and pictures of what you want to achieve.‎ ‎• Make certain behaviors a routine. Once you have decided what’s important to you and which goals to strive for, establish a daily routine that will help you achieve them. ________39________ They can put you in a negative frame of mind and hinder（阻碍）your self-discipline. A poor attitude can also be a bad habit.‎ ‎• ________40________ Michael Jordan has always maintained that his greatness as a basketball player came as much from his willingness to work hard at his craft, as it did his talent. It was his desire through discipline and focus that made him one of the best basketball players ever. If it worked for him, it could certainly work for the rest of us.‎ A. What is self-discipline?‎ B. Engage in sports or activities. ‎ C. Get inspiration from those you admire.‎ D. You can begin by learning about yourself!‎ E. If you try to do too much at once, you could injure yourself and have a setback. ‎ F. Meanwhile, get rid of some of your bad, self-defeating habits, whatever they may be. ‎ G. It does mean learning how to focus your mind and energies on your goals until they ‎ are accomplished.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎ I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job.

Cars bring us a lot of convenience, however, serious problems, such as air pollution and traffic jams, are caused.‎ How to solve these problems is a great challenge to everyone. My suggestion is that we should ride bicycles. There is no doubt that riding bicycles can surely do us good. First, riding bicycles means using cars less, which is a good way to decrease traffic jams. Second, riding bikes is environmentally friendly. We can not only save more energy, but also live a low-carbon life. What’s more, we exercise our body by riding bicycles , which is good for our health.‎ Since there are so many advantages, why not join us and ride bicycles?‎ Thank you!‎
