And if you don’t know for sure, it’s a very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist, there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard (仪表板).‎ Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates (调节) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge (排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions. ‎ Time is something from which we can’t escape. Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “Who’s in charge?” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.‎ By taking control of how you spend your time, you’ll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you’ll have to spend on your outside interests.‎ The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.‎ ‎21. The underlined word “ally” in Para. 3 more likely means somebody or something that is _________.‎ ‎ A. your slave and serves you B. your supporter and helps you ‎ C. under your control and obeys you D. under your influence and follows you ‎22. The author intends to tell us that time _____________.‎ ‎ A. could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watch ‎ B. could be managed by the internal clock of human bodies ‎ C. should be well managed for our own interest ‎ D. should be saved for outside interests ‎23. In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you ________.‎ ‎ A. how to keep up with the times B. how to make up for lost time ‎ C. how to have a good time D. how to make good use of time B A Brown University sleep researcher has some advice for people who run high schools: Don’t start classes so early in the morning. It may not be that the students who nod off （打盹）at their desks are lazy. And it may not be that their parents have failed to enforce (确保) bedtime. Instead, it may be that biologically these sleepyhead students aren’t used to the early hour.‎ ‎“Maybe these kids are being asked to rise at the wrong time for their bodies,” says Mary Carskadon, a professor looking at problem of adolescent sleep at Brown’s School of Medicine.‎ Carskadon is trying to understand more about the effects of early school time in adolescents. And, at a more basic level，she and her team are trying to learn more about how the biological changes of adolescence affect sleep needs and patterns.‎ Carskadon says her work suggests that adolescents may need more sleep than they did at childhood, no less, as commonly thought.‎ Sleep patterns change during adolescence, as any parent of an adolescent can prove. Most adolescents prefer to stay up later at night and sleep later in the morning. But it’s not just a matter ‎ of choice –their bodies are going through a change of sleep patters.‎ All of this makes the transfer(转移) from middle school to high school—which may start one hour earlier in the morning ---- all the more difficult , Carskadon says. With their increased need for sleep and their biological clocks set on the “sleep late, rise late” pattern, adolescent are up against difficulties when it comes to trying to be up by 5 or 6 a.m. for a 7:30 a.m. first bell. A short sleep on a desktop may be their body’s way of saying. “I need a timeout.”‎ ‎24. Carskadon suggests that high schools should not start classes so early in the morning because ________.‎ A. it is really tough for parents to enforce bedtime B. it is biologically difficult for students to rise early C. students work so late at night that they can’t get up early D. students are so lazy that they don’t like to go to school early ‎25. The underlined phrase “nod off” most probably means “ _______”.‎ A. turn around B. agree with others C. fall asleep D. refuse to work ‎26. What might be a reason for the hard transfer middle school to high school?‎ A. Adolescents depend more on their parents.‎ B. Adolescents have to choose their sleep patterns.‎ C. Adolescents sleep better than they did at childhood.‎ D. Adolescents need more sleep than they used to.‎ ‎27. What is the test mainly about?‎ A. Adolescent heath care. B. Problems in adolescent learning.‎ C. Adolescent sleep difficulties. D. Changes in adolescent sleep needs and patterns.‎ C ‎ There was a time when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, and I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold(大胆的) and brave — and mighty forces will come to your aid.‎ Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.‎ Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.‎ ‎ Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet — and stopped him cold.”‎ ‎ Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success.‎ ‎ But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.‎ ‎ So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed of.‎ ‎28. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?‎ A. He faced huge risks.‎ B. He lacked mighty forces.‎ C. Fear prevented him from trying.‎ D. Failure blocked his way to success.‎ ‎29. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?‎ A. Swallow more than you can digest.‎ B. Act slightly above your abilities.‎ C. Develop more mysterious powers.‎ D. Learn to make creative decisions.‎ ‎30. What can be learned from Paragraph 5?‎ ‎ A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.‎ B. Trying without success is meaningless.‎ C. Repeated failure creates a better life.‎ D. Boldness can be gained little by little.‎ ‎31. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?‎ A. To encourage people to be courageous.‎ B. To advise people to build up physical power.‎ C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success.‎ D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.‎ D When next year’s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall, they will be joined by a new face: Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost (教务长) of Yale, who will become Oxford’s vice-chancellor –– a position equal to university president in America.‎ Hamilton isn’t the only educator crossing the Atlantic. Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc. have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Yet the talent flow isn’t universal. High-level personnel tend to head in only one direction: Outward from America.‎ The chief reason is that American schools don’t tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university’s budget. “We didn’t do any global consideration,” says Patricia Hayes, the board’s chair. The board（董事会） finally picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a particularly American thing, since U.S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity.‎ Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student numbers. The decline in ‎ government support has made fund-raising an increasingly necessary ability among administrators, and has made hiring committees hungry for Americans.‎ In the past few years, well-known schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2011, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen “a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position”.‎ Of course, fund-raising isn’t the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind to promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective on established practices.‎ ‎32. What is the current trend in higher education discussed in the text?‎ ‎ A. Institutions worldwide are hiring administrators from the U.S.‎ ‎ B. More international students are being admitted to American universities.‎ ‎ C. University presidents are paying more attention to fund-raising.‎ ‎ D. A lot of activists are being hired as administrators.‎ ‎33. What do we learn about European universities from the text?‎ ‎ A. The tuition they charge has been rising considerably.‎ ‎ B. They are strengthening their position by globalization.‎ ‎ C. Their operation is under strict government control.‎ ‎ D. Most of their money comes from the government. ‎ ‎34. In what way do top-level administrators from abroad contribute to university development?‎ ‎ A. They can improve the university’s image.‎ ‎ B. They will bring with them more international personnel.‎ ‎ C. They will view a lot of things from a new angle.【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ ‎ D. They can set up new academic subjects.‎ ‎35. Which of the following would make the best title of the text?‎ ‎ A. High Education Globalization. ‎ ‎ B. Global Headhunting in Higher Education.‎ ‎ C. Global Higher Education Cooperation . ‎ D. Universal Higher Education Development.‎ 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。‎ E Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations．They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago． 36 ‎ ‎ The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly．Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses． 37 So they are called "diseases of civilization"．Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.‎ ‎ Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none． 38 However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today. ‎ ‎ Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones．They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits．They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains． 39 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors．We eat more sugar．We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.‎ ‎ 40 But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.‎ ‎ A．Stone Age people lived a simple life.‎ ‎ B．These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.‎ ‎ C．In that case, they would live much healthier.‎ ‎ D．Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.‎ ‎ E．But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.‎ ‎ F．People today probably don't want to live like our ancestors.‎ ‎ G．Modern people used to suffer from "diseases of civilization".‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完型填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给出的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ A heart-warming story tells of a woman who finally decided to ask her boss for a 41 in salary.

For example, the proverb, “plucking up a crop 62 (help) it grow”, is based on the following story. It is said that a short—tempered man in the Song Dynasty (960—1279) was very anxious to help 63 rice crop grow up quickly. He was thinking about 64 day and night. But the crop was growing much slower than he expected.‎ One day, he came up with an idea 65 he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches. He did so the next day. He was very tired 66 doing this for a whole day, 67 he felt very happy since the crop did “grow” 68 (high). His son heard about this and went to see the crop. Unfortunately the leaves of the crop began to wither.‎ This proverb is saying we have to let things go in their 69 (nature) course.
