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 of myself at your age was not poverty, 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 encourage us to ________.‎ A．listen to our heart B．run after our dreams C．follow others’ example D．learn from our mistakes ‎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 contributions to the environment.‎ C．Work together to solve some global problems.‎ D．Take responsibility for their own behavior.‎ B Everybody, at some point in their lives, has experienced failure. It could be something as simple as not getting the job you wanted, or getting fewer marks even after hard work. But what makes you is not your failure, but how you get back up after being hit.‎ Once, a young school boy was caught in a fire accident in his school and was assumed that he would not live. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body. Even if he were to survive, he would be lame throughout his life.‎ But the brave boy did not want to die nor did he want to be lame. Much to the amazement of the doctor, he did survive. But unfortunately from his waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just hung there, lifeless. Eventually he left the hospital. But his determination to walk was unshakable. At home, when he was not in bed, he had to stay in a wheelchair. One day, he threw himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him. He reached the fence, raised himself up and then began dragging himself along the fence, firmly determined. He did this every day, with faith in himself that he would be able to walk unaided. With his iron determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, then to walk on and off, then to walk by ‎ himself and then to run.‎ He began to walk to school, and then run to school, to run for the joy of running. Later in college he was on the track team.‎ In February 1934, in New York City's Madison Square Garden, this young man who was not expected to survive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run - this determined young man, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the world's fastest mile.‎ A good example of the power of positive(积极的) thinking and faith in oneself, Glenn Cunningham continues to be an inspiration for many, and his story, a brilliant evidence to how one can bounce back even when all difficulties are piled against one, to the degree that death seemed the preferable choice.‎ ‎24．What was the doctor's opinion about Glenn?‎ A．There was a little chance that Glenn could survive.‎ B．Great determination could make a difference to Glenn.‎ C．Glenn was able to walk with his own great effort D．Glenn could live a normal life with the upper half of his body.‎ ‎25. The underlined word “unaided” means __________.‎ ‎ A. for himself B. without help ‎ C. with disability D. without hesitation ‎26．What do we know about Glenn?‎ A．Glenn took recovery exercise in hospital.‎ B．Glenn inspired people with his moving story.‎ C．Glenn won the first place in Marathon.‎ D．Glenn organized a track team in college.‎ ‎27．What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A．Stand up after failure B．Strengthen determination C．Go after dreams D．Face difficulty bravely C I came to Rio‎, ‎Brazil to work one year ago. So what have I found here?‎ You need to learn Portuguese I started studying Portuguese about two years ago. I didn’t end up improving my Portuguese as ‎ much as I’d hoped before I came here. While Spanish and Portuguese are structurally quite similar, there are huge differences between the two. You can’t just magically understand Brazilians if you speak Spanish.‎ I didn’t need to bring heels Going out in cities like Buenos Aires is a big deal. You get dressed up, you do your hair, and you definitely wear heels- at least if you’re going out to dance. I had no idea how wrong I was. Yes, Rio is a city, but it’s a city on the beach. Of course, there are fancy clubs that probably expect everyone to show up in dress shoes(时装鞋), but most of the places I’ve been to are fine with sneakers, even for dancing.‎ Learning about pop music is a must Whenever I go out and a pop song comes on, every single other person there sings along to all the words. I still haven’t understood if there are only 25 songs that get played in public or if people really do just have a fantastic memory for lyrics, but either way, I wish I’d spent a bit more time practicing Brazilian pop music so I wouldn’t look like such a lost foreigner.‎ Airplanes are a surprisingly sensitive subject In Brazil, the credit for modern flight goes to Alberto Santos Dumont. Brazilians say the Wright Brothers’ use of a catapult(飞机弹射器) was technically cheating and point to their man as the real pioneer of the plane. Therefore, be careful before bringing up the subject of planes in Brazil unless you’re ready for a lecture.‎ ‎28. What can we infer about Brazilians?‎ A．They are fond of dancing. B．They understand Spanish.‎ C．They have a good memory. D．They are informally dressed.‎ ‎29．How did the author react when the others were singing?‎ A．She felt like an outsider . B．She felt ashamed.‎ C．She sang along. D．She pretended to be lost.‎ ‎30．What topic should you avoid in Rio?‎ A．Pop music. B．Dressing styles.‎ C. The history of planes. D．Spanish.‎ ‎31．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ A．To tell us something about Brazil.‎ B．To give foreigners in Rio some suggestions.‎ C．To share her life in Rio as a foreigner.‎ D．To encourage us to learn a foreign language.‎ D Some people state they never forget a face. But what does that saying mean? Is there really no limit to the number of faces a person can remember?‎ A new study has found that, on average, people can remember as many as 5,000 faces. That number comes from a group of researchers at the University of York in England, There have been many studies recently on facial recognition. But the authors of this study say theirs is the first time that scientists have been able to put a number to the abilities of humans to recognize faces.‎ During the study, people spent one hour writing down as many faces from their personal lives as possible, Then, they wrote down famous faces they know, such as actors, politicians and other public people. The results showed that the participants knew between 1,000 and 10,000 faces, which is very shocking to the researchers. Rob Jenkins, coauthor of the study, said one explanation about it may be that some people have a natural ability for remembering faces. He also said it could be because of different social environments. Some people may have grown up in more populated places. So they may have had more social contact throughout their lives.‎ The ability to tell individual people apart is “clearly important.” In today’s modern world of big cities, televisions and social media, we meet thousands of people. Our facial recognition abilities help us to deal with the many different faces we see on the screens, as well as those we know.‎ The people in the study included 25 men and women. They are between 18 and 61 years old. “It would be interesting to see whether there is a peak age for the number of faces we know”, Jenkins said it is possible that we gather more faces throughout our lifetime. But, he added, there also may be an age at which we start to find it harder to remember all of those faces.‎ ‎32．How is the study different from the previous ones?‎ A．It is the first study on facial recognition.‎ B．It lists the number of faces people can recognize.‎ C．The study includes participants of all ages.‎ D．Participants could only recognize faces from personal lives.‎ ‎33．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A．The difference of social environments. B．People’s natural ability to learn.‎ C．The wide range of the numbers. D．The necessity of facial recognition.‎ ‎34．What will the researchers probably focus on after this study?‎ A．Why older people remember more faces. ‎ B．How our ability to remember faces vary at different ages.‎ C．Whether people’s ability to remember faces is necessary.‎ D．When people can remember the most faces.‎ ‎35．What can be a suitable title for the text? ‎ A．Human Beings Never Forget a Face B．Face Recognition Benefits Humans C．The Brain Remembers Thousands of Faces D．The Key to Remembering More Faces 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。‎ ‎ Universities are doing everything they can to become a green campus. But there are also items students can do to make your campus more eco-friendly.‎ ‎1. Recycle everything, especially paper!‎ There is a large amount of paper a college student goes through every term.  36 ．We know that these things can’t be avoided, but the way you handle the use of all the paper can really help create a better green campus.‎ ‎2. Buy green.‎ ‎37 ．Paper, cleaning products and water are products that can be bought as recycled goods. They’re slightly more expensive than the normal products, but it’s worth it to make a green campus.‎ ‎3. Walk and bike to school.‎ Most campuses, especially those that are trying to become a more eco-friendly campus, have pretty good public transportation.  38 ．Walking or biking will help make your campus a green university.‎ ‎4.  39 ．‎ A water bottle can be refilled at any water fountain and can easily be drunk in class or while riding a bike. This will save the environment by decreasing the amount of plastic waste on your ‎ campus.‎ ‎5. Buy used clothing.‎ It is usually thought of as something to do to save money.  40 ．Recycling clothes minimizes the use of resources to make clothing and puts a dent in the problem of worldwide sweatshops.‎ A. Carry a water bottle.‎ B. Buy recycled goods as much as possible.‎ C. It is also good for the environment!‎ D. Paper made of this kind of wood is much stronger.‎ E. It includes class notes, term papers, student newspapers and so on.‎ F. On top of that, almost all universities are pedestrian (步行者) friendly.‎ G. Universities call on all the students to learn to recycle all the waste paper.‎ 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；每小题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。‎ We hired  two cabs and visited Abu. We fixed our luggage on top of the  41  and started ‎ out. During the journey back, we stopped for a tea. That ’s when I noticed 42  that the rope with which the luggage was  43  in one of the carriers had come loose and one of the  44  was ‎ missing. It must have 45  somewhere along the way. Although it didn’ t contain any  46  ‎ things just clothes and some food, we decided to retrace (折返)our steps, driving back four kilometres,  47  the bag. But Luck wasn’ t our friend: We could not  48  it and returned to Ahmedabad unhappy.‎ After about a(n)  49 , one day, while in my office, I got a call from my assistant that a 50 ‎ Mr Shah wanted to see me. I called him into my 51  and asked him: “How can we help you?”‎ ‎ To which he said, “No, sir. I have not come for any official help.
