Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish?‎ Sometimes ,people think they already know the answer to a question or the solution (解决办法) to a problem. Sometimes, they really do know an answer or a solution, but without thinking they are important.‎ Charles Darwin didn’t settle for (满足于) just thinking he knew something. And, he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.‎ Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are exactly the same size and shape. If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way. Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight (紧的) little ball and let it drop along with the other sheet. What happens? You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn’t be worth anything.‎ But this simple experiment is important. It explains part of our present-day understanding of physics, ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton. And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek physics. ‎ Science sometimes stops to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them. ‎ Even the simplest idea, which we might think is foolish, can shake the foundations of science.‎ ‎24.The passage tells us that Charles Darwin   . ‎ A. was a great English scientist B. always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficult C. thought even the simplest thing was important D .didn’t get well with others ‎25.The underlined phrase “set aside” most probably means    ‎ A. throw away B. store up C. put to use D. realize ‎26.The author of the passage tries to   ‎ A. convince us that Charles Darwin, Galileo and Newton are the greatest scientists in the world ‎ B. draw the conclusion that basic sciences are simple things C. prove that two sheets of paper, with the same size and shape, will fall at the same speed ‎ D. draw our attention to everyday happenings around us ‎27.Which one of the following is true?‎ A. Darwin really did fools’ experiments.‎ B. According to some people Darwin did foolish experiments.‎ C. It is believed by all people that things could be important though they seemed to be simple.‎ D. Galileo and Newton worked out ancient Greek physics.‎ c It was Christmas,1961.I was teaching in a small town in Ohio where my third graders were eagerly waiting for the great day of giving gifts. Each day the children made something new—strings of popcorn, hand-made trinkets(小饰品) and bells made from wallpaper ,which we hung from the ceiling .One girl was just watching. I wondered what would happen to this child, once so happy, now so quiet. I hoped the festivities would please her, but nothing did.‎ We made cards for parents, for sisters and brothers, for grandparents, and for each other. ‎ At home the students made fried marbles. So I made each of my students a little bag for carrying their fried marbles home.‎ The day finally came. We were all excited as we exchanged the presents. But the girl just sat watching quietly. I had made a special bag for her. I wanted to see her smile .She opened the bag carefully. I waited, but she turned away. ‎ After school the children left. I was sitting down in a chair to catch my breath, when she came to me with a small white box in her hands.‎ ‎“For me?” I asked with a smile. She nodded .I opened the box. There inside, a fried marble hung from a golden chain.‎ In a flash I knew—she had make it for her mother ,the mother she would never see again, the mother who had died just three weeks before.‎ I held out the chain. She took it in both her hands and put it on my neck. I whispered, “Oh, Maria, it is so beautiful. She would have loved it.” Neither of us could stop the tears. She ran into my arms. And for that moment I became her mother, for she had given me the greatest gift of all: herself.‎ ‎28. What was the author probably?‎ A. A college student. B. A middle school student.‎ C. A kind teacher. D. A famous writer.‎ ‎29 .What did the author prepare for the students?‎ A. Strings of popcorn.   B. Hand-made trinkets.‎ C. Some nice bells. D. Some little bags.‎ ‎30.“The day” in Paragraph 3 refers to   . ‎ A. New Year’s Day B. Christmas Day C. Graduation Day D. Mother’s Day ‎31.Why was the girl not as pleased as other children?‎ A. Because she couldn’t make anything.‎ B. Because her family was very poor.‎ C .Because she thought of her mother who had died.‎ A. Because she didn’t want to give others any gifts.‎ D Conventional wisdom is a major barrier to innovation(创新)that threatens the survival of companies everywhere. It’s based on the assumption that old ideas will always work, so they shouldn’t be challenged. While this may be a valid assumption in situations that don’t change, it’s unlikely to hold true in a changing situation. In today’s rapid changing global environment, old methods often don’t work, and stubbornly using them can lead to major problems.‎ Most people seem to agree with conventional wisdom because it gives one a false sense of security. If everyone else believes it, then it must be true. Individuals who use conventional wisdom are certain that they are right, and being right is good. They want to continue using old ideas rather than take risks with changes that might not work. In 1977, Ken Olsen, co-founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation(DEC), stated “There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home.” Despite being a dominant leader in the computer industry, DEC no longer exists.‎ ‎  People seem to forget that since innovation is a change, there can be no innovation without change. Unfortunately, conventional wisdom prevents leaders, followers and companies from changing and therefore innovating. If companies don’t innovate, but their competitors do, the future is likely to be problematic. Breaking from conventional wisdom has led to many of the most innovative companies and products in history across many industries, so it has a powerful effect on business success.‎ Ted Turner(founder of CNN) knew little, if anything, about the news business, but he knew it was inconvenient to watch news only at the dinner hour, as was common before CNN. Turner’s solution was to create a cable channel devoted to news 24 hours a day. The news establishment reflected conventional wisdom at the time, and predicted his idea would fail because no one wanted to watch the news all day. However, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that viewers don’t have to watch the news all day for the CNN to work. Viewers just have to watch when they want to get information. Due to conventional thinking, the critics failed to recognize the opportunity that was clear to Ted. They assumed that only what was familiar to them could work in the future.  ‎ Conventional wisdom prevents creativity, flexibility and risk-taking, so unconventional ‎ leaders enthusiastically break from it. To survive, boom and maintain competitive advantage, companies must be flexible when reacting to change.‎ ‎32. DEC has disappeared probably because ________.‎ A. the CEO stuck to the conventional ideas ‎   B. the consumers didn’t like its products ‎   C. the leaders lacked the sense of security ‎   D. the employees took many risks with changes ‎33. The founding of CNN is used as an example to prove ________.‎ ‎   A. missing opportunities could lead to failure ‎   B. watching news at the dinner hour is convenient C. changing could contribute to business success ‎  D. conventional wisdom influences business success ‎34. What does the underlined part probably mean?‎ ‎   A. Rocket scientists can ensure the CNN works properly.‎ ‎   B. It’s easy to know people needn’t watch the news all the time.‎ ‎   C. It’s necessary to understand when people watch the news.‎ ‎   D. Most of the viewers don’t like to watch the news at work.‎ ‎35. The passage is mainly written to tell us that ________.‎ ‎   A. old methods are changing with time ‎   B. opportunities lead to business success ‎   C. successful companies need wise leaders ‎   D. conventional wisdom limits innovation 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。‎ ‎4 Key Strategies for Running to Lose Weight ‎ As one of the most active exercises out there, running is an extremely efficient way to burn calories and lose weight. A 150-pound person will burn approximately 100 calories per mile when running. 36 ‎ ‎1. Healthy Eating is the First Step ‎ If you want to lose weight by running, keep in mind that you’ll only lose pounds if you burn more calories than you consume. To lose a pound, you have to burn, through exercise or life functions, about 3500 calories. 37 Runners do have special nutrition needs, but the basic principles for healthy eating still apply. Try choosing smaller portions of high-fat and high-calorie foods and eating more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. ‎ ‎2. Follow a training schedule ‎ Sticking to a training schedule is a simple way to stay motivated to run. 38 So it’s much harder to postpone or skip workouts. Following a schedule can also help you avoid a running injury by not increasing your mileage too quickly. ‎ ‎3. Run regularly ‎ If you don’t want to follow a schedule, you still need to have some consistency with your running because you won’t lose weight by running once a week. It’s best to get some activity every day. 39 If you find that your motivation to run is suffering, follow some necessary tips to get inspired. ‎ ‎4. 40 ‎ Incorporating speed work or interval training (running at a very fast speed for short intervals of time) into your running routine can also help your weight loss efforts. Speed work burns a great amount of calories in a short period of time. You’ll also increase your muscle mass, causing you to burn more calories throughout the day.‎ A. Keep it challenging[]‎ B. Eat for Performance ‎ C. You’ll know exactly what you need to do every day and each run builds on the next. ‎ D. So you’ll need to combine running with a healthy diet. ‎ E. If you’re hoping to use running to lose weight, here’s some advice on how to be successful.z F. Here are ways to improve your running motivation. ‎ G. But if that’s not possible, try to shoot for at least 3-4 times per week. ‎ 第二节:完形填空(共20小题;每小题1。5分,满分30分)‎ It was already half past seven and I was running late again for the dinner appointment ‎ with my wife, Eleanor.
