He did temporary jobs for the first few years and then joined a Malaysian construction firm, where he learnt to drive, repair machines, work on the Internet and even speak English fluently.‎ ‎“In those 13 years, I learnt everything—driving, mechanic work, and how to set up a small factory. This made me gain much confidence to do almost all jobs,” says Tenzing.‎ However, as his mother was getting older, on December 12, 2006, Tenzing returned to his hometown in Assam. Having visited several farms, he came to know that tea could be easily exported and many tea companies were buying tea; so he also decided to grow tea on his farm. But as his family had never grown tea, he had no idea how to do it.‎ Being a layman (外行）in this field, Tenzing went to meet with many tea experts and followed their instructions. But whenever he sprayed pesticide (农药）on his farm, he’d get a headache and feel indisposed. So he started looking for alternatives（替代物）, Tenzing did his research online and finally in 2007, he connected with people from a Canadian non-governmental organization and invited them to his farm, where they trained him. Thus, Tenzing started growing tea organically（有机地）.‎ Today Tenzing has 25 acres of land, in which 7.5 acres is used for tea planting, and he grows almost all types of fruits and vegetables. His success inspired many, and farmers from other parts of the country also started coming to his farm to learn organic farming. He has trained about 30,000 farmers so far. Every year almost 100 tourists visit his farm from various parts of the world like the UK, Australia, Germany, etc.‎ ‎24. What can we know about Tenzing?‎ A. He was mistreated at a young age. B. He lived a happy childhood.‎ C. He received much formal education. D. He had great learning ability.‎ ‎25. Why did Tenzing want to grow tea on his farm?‎ A. Tea sold very well at that time. B. His mother was getting older.‎ C. His land was best for tea growth. D. He was tired of temporary jobs.‎ ‎26. What does the underlined word “indisposed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ A. Unmoved. B. Motivated C. Uncomfortable. D. Touched.‎ ‎27. What can be inferred about Tenzing’s farm according to the last paragraph?‎ A. It has been the biggest one around. B. It is famous nationally and globally.‎ C. It is made use of mostly to grow tea. D. It has become a hot tourist attraction.‎ C For so long，failure has been pictured as something negative, something to be ashamed of and something to be kept a secret．But a Swedish psychologist, Samuel West, has decided to put our worst fears on the table. He is opening a museum—the Museum of Failure—in Helsingborg, Sweden this June．‎ Instead of showing successes, as museums usually do, the Museum of Failure will display over 60 “failed” products from big-name companies such as Nokia, Apple and Coca-Cola. “I really hope you see that these mega-brands that everybody respects, they screw up too,” West told The New York Times. “I hope that makes you feel less nervous about learning something new. ”‎ West’s opinion isn’t a new one. Albert Einstein once said，“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. ”And this idea has been embraced by lots of companies in the US. Silicon Valley, for example, is the home of some of the world’s most creative companies，yet its slogan turns out to be, quite surprisingly, “Fail fast, fail often. ”‎ However，there are reasons for this. “The best companies are those that encourage failure, embrace out-of-the-box thinking, and allow employees to make mistakes and see what happens,”wrote Simon Casuto of Forbes. ‎ But some people are skeptical of this so-called “culture of failure”. They are worried that if failure becomes “a symbol of honor”，as Wired magazine put it, it may even be seen as “uncool” when one tries to reduce the risk of failure. This may push people to care too little and try too little. ‎ ‎“Sometimes people hide behind failure, when they could have prevented it, ”wrote Anna Isaac of The Telegraph．‎ So it's important that you set apart the two kinds of failure—the kind that makes you a loser and the kind that takes you forward. The key is whether you’ve learned something from your mistakes. ‎ ‎“Learning is the only process that turns failure into success,” West told The Guardian. “If you don’t learn from your failures, then you’ve really failed. ”‎ ‎28．What does the underlined phrase “screw up” mean in the second paragraph?‎ A．Make a profit. B．Make a mess. C．Make a highlight. D．Make a risk.‎ ‎29．What message does the slogan “Fail fast, fail often. ” convey?‎ A．The more failure, the better. B．Accept failure, and try new things.‎ C．The more you fail, the less success you achieve. D．Failure is more important than success.‎ ‎30．Which magazine shows doubt about the culture of failure?‎ A．The New York Times. B．Forbes. C．Wired. D．The Guardian.‎ ‎31．What’s West’s opinion about failure?‎ A．Failure’s value lies in learning from it. ‎ B．If you fail，you are a loser.‎ C．It’s not necessary to try to reduce the risk of failure. ‎ D．Failure is the key to putting you forward.‎ D For many, music is as important to the human experience as eating and breathing. We hear music everywhere—at home, the gym, parties and stores. But what kind of music do we prefer to listen to, and when and why do our musical preferences change?‎ The relationship between the change of seasons and musical preferences was the focus of a ‎ study led by psychologist Terry Pettijohn. He and his team based their research on a previous study that examined the relationship between popular music preferences and the Environmental Security Hypothesis (假设). The results showed that over time, when social and financial conditions were more risky, the songs of the year that were slower, longer, more comforting and serious were most popular. And during periods in which social and financial conditions were generally stable（稳定的）, the result is opposite.‎ Building on these findings, Pettijohn and his team wondered if the Hypothesis could also be applied to the change of seasons. For college students, the participants in this study, autumn begins at the start of the academic school year. Gone are the carefree days of summer, when school is out. When summer comes back, stealing an hour of daylight, which feel like losing precious time. Winter means colder temperatures, shorter days, and, in many places in the country, snow. Spring, however, is a different story. It represents a fresh start and when clocks spring forward, we gain an extra hour of day light. As students walk into summer, they’re absorbed in the sunshine and social activity—and enjoy a break from school.‎ But do changing seasonal conditions influence musical preferences? To answer this question, the researchers designed two studies. What did they find? Both groups of college students favored more serious music during the seasons of fall and winter, and more active and energetic music during the spring and summer seasons. And these findings, Pettijohn argues, have practical significances.‎ ‎32. The purpose of the question raised in Paragraph 1 is to ________.‎ A. present a different opinion on music B. prove where to listen to music matters C. introduce the topic on musical preferences D. stress the importance of music to humans ‎33. What influences a person’s choice of music types according to the previous study?‎ A. Whether one has enough free time. B. Whether one lives in a stable situation.‎ C. Whether one is exposed to sunlight. D. Whether one chooses to change his life.‎ ‎34. What does Paragraph 3 imply?‎ A. Spring has a special meaning to people.‎ B. Students aren’t fond of school in any season.‎ C. The Hypothesis disagrees with Pettijohn’s studies.‎ D. The length of summer time is longer than winter time.‎ ‎35. How does Pettijohn feel about the findings of his studies?‎ A. It’s unexpected. B. It’s important. C. It’s humorous. D. It’s discouraging.‎ 第二节(共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。选项中有两项多余。‎ In any college application process, the interview is very important.‎ A quick look at interview tips will tell you to smile, make eye contact, and shake the interviewer’s hand firmly. 36 ‎ So, what should you do?‎ The interviewer must decide if you’re a good fit for the university. 37 ‎ ‎ 38 Interviewers are constantly surprised by how many really smart and hardworking students do so little research before they go into their interview. You should, for example, find out where your interviewer is from, what he or she studied, and maybe even find publications he or she has written. This can be done easily by searching for a few minutes online. ‎ More importantly, you should do a lot of research on the university beyond simply ‎ knowing its ranking（名次） in league tables. Interviewers hate it when you say you want to go to their university just because it’s famous. 39 After all, you would want this school to choose you over another excellent Chinese student. ‎ Finally, make sure you “do your homework”. If you're interested in biology, be sure to know the biology professors’ names. If you’re interested in hiking and camping, be sure to know the name of the outdoors club at the schoo1. 40 ‎ A．Remember that preparation is the key.‎ B．They will lead to your success in the interview.‎ C．That means it’s important to succeed as socially well-adjusted.‎ D．Tie your interests and goals to what the school in particular has to offer.‎ E．First of all, dress appropriately to leave a good impression. ‎ F．Unfortunately, few tell you what it is that the interviewer is really looking for. ‎ G．Instead, you should explain why you chose them over other great universities. ‎ 第三部分(共两节，满分30分) ‎ 第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分) ‎ The first time I remember noticing the crossing guard was when he waved to me as I drove my son to school.
