Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.‎ I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words. ‎ It takes confidence to make a new start — there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.‎ Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.‎ The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal - that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.‎ It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck -of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher -to be a published writer - is unbelievably rewarding（有回报的）.‎ ‎24. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?‎ A.I was being aimless about a suitable job.B. I was trying to find an admirable job.‎ C. I was waiting for good fortune. D. I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.‎ ‎25. The author decided to write a novel ______ .‎ A. to finish the writing course B.to satisfy readers’ wish C. to realize her own dream D. to earn more money ‎26. How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?‎ A. Disturbed. B. Uncertain. C. Confident. D.Ashamed. ‎ ‎27. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?‎ A.There is no end in sight when starting to do something.‎ B. Hard work can lead to success.‎ C. She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.‎ D. It pays to stick to one’s goal. ‎ C About 150 years ago, a village church priest, Patric Bronte, in Yorkshire, England, had three lovely, intelligent daughters but his hopes fell entirely on the only male successor(继承人), Branwell, a youth with remarkable talent in both art and literature.‎ Branwell’s father and sisters saved their pennies to pack him off to London’s Royal Academy of Arts, but if art was his calling, he dialed a wrong number. Within weeks he ended up going back home, a penniless failure.‎ Hopes still high, the family landed Branwell a job as a private tutor, hoping this would free him to develop his literary skills and achieve the success and fame that he deserved. Failure again.‎ Still, the selfless sisters set aside their own goals, farming themselves out as teachers and governesses in support of their increasingly indebted brother, convinced the world must eventually recognize his genius. As failure multiplied, Branwell turned to alcohol, then opium, and ‎ eventually died as he had lived: a failure. So died hope in the one male — but what of the three sisters?‎ During Branwell’s last years, the girls published a book of poetry at their own expense (under a pen name, for fear of reviewers’ prejudice(偏见) against females). Even Branwell might have laughed: they sold only two copies.‎ They didn’t give up. Instead, they continued in their spare time, late at night by candlelight, to pour out their contained emotion, writing of what they knew best, of women in conflict with their natural desires and social condition, in reality, less fiction than autobiography (自传)! And 19th century literature was transformed by Anne’s Agnes Grey, Emily’s Wuthering Heights, and Charlotte’s Jane Eyre.‎ But years of sacrifice (牺牲) for Branwell had eventually ruined their health. Emily took ill at her brother’s funeral and died within 3 months, aged 29; Anne died 5 months later, aged 30; Charlotte lived only to age 39. If only they had been highly thought of instead of sacrificed.‎ No one remembers Branwell’s name, much less of his art or literature, but the Bronte sisters’ tragically short lives teach us even more of life than literature.‎ ‎28. What might lead to the sad ending of the three Bronte sisters?‎ A. Their poor family.‎ B. The failure of their brother.‎ C.That to be a writer was a really tough road to go.‎ D. The social prejudice against women in those days.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined part probably mean in paragraph 2 ?‎ A. He gave a wrong call to a person. ‎ B. He shouldn’t have spent much on art.‎ C. He was not talented in art at all. ‎ D. He was actually not promising on the way of art.‎ ‎30. According to the passage, what can be inferred from the story of Branwell?‎ A. A person’s success is largely due to the support of his family.‎ B. Gift is a burden for a person.‎ C. Gift is not necessarily a guarantee of success.‎ D. Too many choices may lead to success in none.‎ ‎31. Were Patric Bronte alive, what might he regret most?‎ A. Not taking good care of his children. B.Putting all of his eggs in one male basket.‎ C. Intending his son for an artist or a writer.D. Sacrificing too many pennies for his son.‎ D According to a new research from the University of Cambridge in England，sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs．‎ The farm animals, who are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar humans. However, their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel．‎ The recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society: Open Science, shows the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces， including those of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson．‎ Initially, the sheep were trained to approach certain images by being given food rewards．Later，they were able to recognize the images for which they had been rewarded．The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle, though their ability to do so declined by about 15percent - the same rate at which a human's ability to perform the same task declines.‎ ‎"Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are intelligent, individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers,” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the Cambridge study. "We've shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, close to those of humans and monkeys."‎ Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human beings, and some disorders of the brain, including Huntington's disease, affect this ability．‎ ‎"Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntington's disease, that develop over a long time and affect cognitive(认知的) abilities. Our study gives us another way to monitor how these abilities change," Morton said.‎ ‎32. According to the new research，what's unusual about sheep? A. They can recognize human faces from photographs.‎ B. They can recognize their handlers. C. They can tell animals from humans. ‎ D.They have large brains close to monkeys.‎ ‎33．How did the researchers train the sheep? A. By guiding them to follow their handlers. ‎ B. By rewarding them with food. C.By showing photos of humans and monkeys by ‎ turns. D. By showing photos of famous people.‎ ‎34. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Sheep have a higher face-recognition ability than monkeys． B. The sheep's face-recognition ability stays the same when shown photos at any angle． C. The new discovery is beneficial to the study of cognitive ability changes．‎ D. The sheep's face-recognition ability may prevent some disorders of the brain．‎ ‎35. What's the best title of the passage? A. How Sheep Recognize Human Faces. B.The Secret Life of Sheep.‎ C. A Scientific WayOf Feeding Sheep. D. A New Discovery About Sheep. ‎ 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 all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or springclean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.‎ ‎36 But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.‎ ‎◆ Get Out of Bed Earlier If you normally get up at 7：‎30 a．m., try getting up at 7：‎00 a．m. That halfhour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish.37‎ ‎◆ Do the Important Tasks First Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.‎ ‎38 The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.‎ ‎◆ Reduce Interruptions If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions don't just eat up time, they also break your concentration.‎ When you've got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. 39 Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.‎ ◆ ‎40 ‎ A few minutes' chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.‎ When you're working, work. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get ‎ a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you're facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it's easier to deal with.‎ A．Stay Focused on Your Work B．Take Breaks When Necessary C．If you have an office door, close it.‎ D．If you work like this, you'll usually save time.‎ E．Would you want me to make your day longer?‎ F．I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long.‎ G．Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节，满分55 分）‎ 第一节: 完形填空（共20 小题；每小题1.5 分，满分30 分）‎ ‎“Rebuttal (辩驳)?!” I questioned Mrs. Faccenda’s ability to teach students.
