And you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps. ... You must also commit to the adventure. Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you've been blessed (赐予)with and go.‎ ‎●J.K. Rowling, ‎Harvard‎ ‎University Half my lifetime ago ,I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich...But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty(贫穷), but failure. The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure, you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.‎ ‎●Steve Jobs, Stanford University Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith...Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied ‎ is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle.‎ ‎●Bill Gates, Harvard University We need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another. They are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities ,smaller organizations, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches and deal with the world's inequities（不公平）like hunger, poverty, and so on.‎ ‎21. What Michael Dell said is to urge us to     .‎ A. listen to our heart B. learn from our mistakes ‎ C. follow others' example D. pursue our dreams ‎22. What did J.K. Rowling fear most when she was studying in university?‎ A. Failure. B. Hunger. C. Poverty. D. Appearance.‎ ‎23. What does Bill Gates suggest people do?‎ A. Master as much advanced technology as possible.‎ B. Make joint efforts to rid some global problems.‎ C. Make contributions to the environment.‎ D. Take responsibility for their own behavior.‎ B Brown cows may not actually make chocolate milk, but pink silkworms (蚕) do produce pink silk, a team of scientists has discovered. To see if they could produce predyed silk—silk that comes colored, straight from the source—the team fed ordinary silkworms mulberry (桑树) leaves that had been sprayed (喷洒) with fabric (织物) dyes (染色剂). Out of seven tested dyes, only one worked, producing a thread that reminded me of pinkdyed hair.【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ And yes, the worms themselves take on some color before they produce silk. Their colorful diets did not affect their growth, the team, which included engineers and biologists from the CSIRNational Chemical Laboratory in India, reports in the journal ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. (The researchers didn't look too deeply into how the dyes affected the silkworms' health. After all, silkworms die when people harvest ‎ their silk.)‎ The team made dyeing silk this way because coloring fabric normally uses large amounts of fresh water. The water gets polluted with dangerous chemicals in the process, requiring costly treatment before factories can send it back into waterways. Dyeing silk directly by feeding silkworms would avoid those waterwashing steps. Scientists are just starting to study this idea. However, it remains to be seen if it's commercially successful. In this experiment, the Indian team tested seven dyes, which are cheap and popular in the industry.‎ The scientists found different dyes moved through silkworms' bodies differently. Some never made it into the worms' silk at all. Others colored the worms and their silk, but the color disappears before the silk is turned into fabric. Only one dye, named “direct acid fast red”， showed up in the final, washed silk threads. By the time it made it there, it was a pleasant, light pink.‎ ‎24．The text is most probably a(n) ________.‎ A．science report B．tourist guide C．animal experiment D．fashion advertisement ‎25．Silkworms can produce pink silk because ________.‎ A．they are born pink B．they are dyed pink C．they grow in pink water D．they are fed dyed food ‎26．Where is the experiment carried out?‎ A．In America. B．In India. C．In Israel. D．In China.‎ ‎27．How many dyes have been proved successful in the experiment?‎ A．One. B．Three. C．Five. D．Seven.‎ C New research shows that kids from low-income families may be falling behind their peers because an important part of their brains is underdeveloped.‎ Researchers from MIT’ s McGovern Institute for Brain Research compared the brains of 12-and 13-year-olds from rich families with the brains of their peers from lower-income families. They found that one particular area of the brain—the neocortex(新皮质),which plays a key role in memory and learning ability—is thinner in children from lower-income households.‎ This is a crucial part of the brain for young students, who are often tested based on their ability to recall large chunks of information. Children who had a ‎ thinner neocortex performed poorly on standardized tests,researchers found.More than 90% of high-income students scored above average on a statewide math and English/Language Arts standardized test,compared with less than 60% of low-income students.Differences in cortical(脑皮层) thickness could account for almost half of the income-achievement gap in this sample,researchers wrote.‎ ‎“Just as you would expect, there’ s a real cost not living in a supportive environment. We can see it not only in test scores,in educational attainment,but within the brains of these children,”says psychological scientist John Gabrieli,a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at MIT and one of the study’s authors.‎ Since a 2011 study published by Stanford University professor Sean Reardon found that the gap between standardized test scores of high-income and low-income students has grown by about 40% since the 1960s,there’ s been a lot of research aimed at finding links between income and achievement, rather than race alone. The MIT study found low-income children were equally likely to have a thinner neocortex,no matter their races.‎ Gabrieli and his co-authors can’ t say exactly why poor children’ s brains develop differently because there are too many possibilities to count.Their findings do,however,underline the importance of early intervention(干预) to ensure that low-income kids get the tools they need to succeed.‎ ‎28．What’ s the function of the first paragraph?‎ A. To list some findings.B. To give some advice.‎ C. To do some comparisons.D. To show the main idea of the text.‎ ‎29．What does the underlined word “crucial” in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A. Special. B. Important.C. Separate. D. Unknown.‎ ‎30．What John Gabrieli says in Paragraph 4 mainly shows the importance of 　　　.‎ A. cognitive abilityB. educational attainment C. having developed brainsD. living in supportive surroundings ‎31．What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A.Wealthy parents do better in raising children.‎ B.Differences exist between poor children and rich ones.‎ C.Poor children study harder due to their financial conditions.‎ D.Poor children have thinner neocortex than their wealthy peers.‎ D ‎ Yesterday night, over a dinner with my elder brother’s family, a topic of happiness came up. My wife, Marla, a psychologist, was sharing Csikszentmihalyi’s concept of “flow” with us. Marla explained that according to the research on flow, people are happiest when they are absorbed in a task that is just challenging enough for them to experience a sense of mastery(熟练).‎ ‎ A few moments later my brother, Yuri, offered the following opinion: “The first and only, necessary and sufficient factor for happiness is to stop associating happiness with pleasure. The two — happiness and pleasure — have nothing to do with each other.”‎ ‎ This morning, with my cup of coffee, I searched through a pile of books on my bedside table and—at the bottom—found a book by Bertrand Russell, I started reading but didn’t finish. In it, I found the following thought:‎ ‎ “The human animal, like others, is adapted to a certain amount of struggle for life, and when 【…】his whims (突发奇想) 【are satisfied】 without effort, the mere absence of effort from his life removes an essential ingredient of happiness.”‎ ‎ The conversation came full circle: people are happiest when they are in a state of flow ( Csikszentmihalyi’s language )…which is the effortful devotion in a moment…which has nothing to do with pleasure.‎ ‎ Indeed, as Yuri insisted : happiness–as–pleasure is a myth; the association between happiness and pleasure is nothing but a semantic(语义的) habit; psychologically, the two—happiness and pleasure—are arguably different; and breaking up this association between pleasure and happiness might, in fact, be a powerfully first step in pursuit of happiness.‎ ‎ As I look back on that exchange, I recall that there was an effort, a struggle to find a common understanding about this seemingly difficult idea—a struggle that made me happy.‎ ‎32. The author wrote this text mainly to_______.‎ A. look back on the happy night B. advise readers to read Bertrand Russell C. tell readers how to be happiest D. show different opinions on family gathering 33. According to Marla, people feel happiest when they______.‎ A. get what they want without effort B. master the happiness around them C. involve themselves in a challenging task D. experience things that can bring pleasure 34. What writing style is used by the author to explain happiness?‎ A. Giving examples. B. Using quotes.‎ C. Making comparisons. D. Offering arguments.‎ ‎35. The best title of the text may probably be______.‎ A. The struggle for life B. Happiness as pleasure C. A topic over the dinner D. The effort for happiness 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。‎ Social Phobia It’s natural to feel nervous, or shy in front of others at times. Most people manage to get through these moments when they need to. 36 It’s probably more than shyness. It may build up into a powerful fear. As a result, people feel uncomfortable participating in everyday social activities. This is called social phobia (also called social anxiety).‎ ‎ 37 It prevents them from chatting with friends in the lunchroom, joining an after-school club, or going to a party. Sometimes, they even feel too nervous to ask a question in class or go to a teacher for help. Social phobia not only prevents people from trying new things. It also prevents them from making the normal, everyday mistakes that help people improve their skills still further.‎ It is really sad, isn’t it? But the good news is that people with social phobia ‎ can learn to manage fear, develop confidence and communicating skills and stop avoiding things that make them nervous. Of course it’s not always easy. Dealing with social phobia takes patience, courage to face fears and the willingness to practice. 38 ‎ Therapists (治疗师) can help people create a plan for facing social fears and build the skills and confidence to overcome it. And family or friends are especially important for them. 39 Friends and family can encourage them to pick a small goal to aim for, remind them to go for it, and be there when they might feel discouraged. Good friends and family are there to celebrate each small success along the way.‎ ‎ Little by little, someone who decides to deal with extreme shyness can learn to be more comfortable. 40 As shyness and fears begin to melt, confidence and positive feelings build. Pretty soon, the person is thinking less about what might feel uncomfortable and more about what might be fun. ‎ A. Friends can overcome their fears. ‎ B. Social phobia makes people lonely or disappointed over missed opportunities. ‎ C. They are not able to make eye contact with classmates. ‎ D. But for some, the anxiety can be extreme.‎ E. Each small step forward helps build enough confidence to take the next small step.‎ F. It also takes a commitment to go forward rather than back away when feeling shy.‎ G. The support from those key people helps them gather the courage to try something new.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I was required to read one of Bernie Siegel’s books in college and was hooked on his positivity from that moment on.
