Throughout his career as one of the world’s most recognizable cosmic thinkers, he regularly threw himself into pop culture’s comedic ring with cameos（客串）on programs such as The Simpsons and Late Night with Conan O’Brien.‎ These appearances defined Hawking’s personal life as mush as his universe-shaking theoretical work. Humor, however, was not just one side of his personality, but a key to overcoming the disease he struggled against since 1963.‎ ‎“Keeping an active mind has been vital to my survival, as has maintaining a sense of humor,” Hawking said in a 2013 documentary. “I am probably better known for my appearances on The Simpsons and on The Big Bang Theory than I am for my scientific discoveries.”‎ At 21, Hawking was diagnosed with a condition similar to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis（肌萎缩性侧索硬化症）, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. According to the ALS Association, “Half of all people affected with ALS live at most three or more years after diagnosis. Twenty percent live five years or more; only ten percent will live more than ten years.”‎ The disease would eventually shut down Hawking’s motor functions, making him speechless and unable to move without a wheelchair. Doctors initially said he would be dead in two years. His condition, however, proved to be a rare slow-acting version.‎ But Hawking fought through his worse physical state, rising to a position ‎ as a celebrated professor of mathematical at the University of Cambridge and altering the popular conception of physics with his 1988 bestseller, A Brief History of Time.‎ ‎“When I turned 21, my expectations were reduced to zero,” he said in a TV show. He added, “It was important that I came to appreciate what I did have. It’s also important not to become angry, no matter how difficult life is, because you can lose all hope if you can’t laugh at yourself and at life in general.”‎ ‎24．What was Hawking like according to the text?‎ A. He was kind and brave. ‎ B. He was friendly and adventurous.‎ C. He was humorous and strong-minded. ‎ D. He was shy and uncommunicative.‎ ‎25．How did Hawking deal with ALS?‎ A. He did further research into the disease.‎ B. He kept a positive attitude towards his disease.‎ C. He did more exercise and spoke a lot with others.‎ D. He went to hospital to have a health check regularly.‎ ‎26．What can be learnt from the story of Hawking?‎ A. Laughter is the best medicine.‎ B. Lost time is never found again.‎ C. Everything comes to him who waits.‎ D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.‎ ‎27．What can we know from the text?‎ A. ALS is a common disease in England.‎ B. Doctors once abandoned treatment for Hawking.‎ C. Playing roles in comedy was Hawking’s favorite.‎ D. It’s almost a wonder that Hawking can survive the disease.‎ 参考答案：24-27． B A D B ‎【解析】本文主要讲了霍金被确诊为肌萎缩性侧索硬化症后，是如何积极面对，最终创造奇迹的。‎ ‎24．C 细节理解题 根据第二段第二句话Humor, however, was not just one side of his personality, but a key to overcoming the disease he struggled against since 1963.可知霍金是一个幽默的人，而且从1963年就开始与疾病作斗争。所以说霍金是一个幽默而又意志坚定的人，故选C。‎ ‎25．B 细节理解题 根据第六段But Hawking fought through his worse physical state, rising to a position as a celebrated professor of mathematical at the University of Cambridge and altering the popular conception of physics with his 1988 bestseller, A Brief History of Time.可知霍金克服身体状况，最后成为著名的数学教授。所以说他对自己的病保持着积极的态度。故选B。‎ ‎26．A 推理判断题 从最后一段“It was important that I came to appreciate what I did have. It’s also important not become angry, no matter how difficult life is, because you can lose all hope if you can’t laugh at yourself and at life in general.”可知霍金以积极的心态对待自己的疾病，最终改变肌萎缩性侧索硬化症不可战胜的说法，所以我们可以推断出微笑是治病的良药，故选A。‎ ‎27．D 推理判断题 根据第四段According to the ALS Association, “Half of all people affected with ALS live at most three or more years after diagnosis. Twenty percent live five years or more; only ten percent will live more than ten years.”可知确诊为肌萎缩性侧索硬化症的病人最多活三年或者三年多点；20％的人能活五年或者更长；只有10％的人能活十年以上。霍金能活到76岁确实是一个奇迹，故选D。‎ ‎[三]‎ I think it was October, 1982. A friend had business dealings in the city of Reno, Nevada, and I was asked to accompany her on an overnight trip. While she conducted her business, I was aimlessly wandering down Virginia Street，heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to ‎ speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but I couldn’t make eye contact with anyone. Quickly I slid into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She 1ooked at me as though I were from some other planet and said, “Well…’’ Surprisingly, she followed me out.‎ ‎ When she got outside I said to her, “Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.”‎ ‎ For a few seconds we just 1ooked. Then I said, “God’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world.” I thanked her for coming out to see it and sharing the beauty.‎ ‎ Four years later my situation had changed considerably. I had come to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a Unity Magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: cosmetic sales in a department store. We had a lot in common. ‎ ‎ Then something happened to her that changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, “God’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world.”, and she had realized the truth in that statement and that she simply had not been seeing it. From that moment on, she turned her life around.‎ ‎24. Why did the writer slid into a department store?‎ A. She found it was boring with nobody talking to her.‎ B. She wanted to buy something for her friend.‎ C. She wanted to find somebody sharing the beautiful sunset.‎ D. She thought it was her responsibility to share the natural beauty with others.‎ ‎25. What does the sentence “God’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world” mean?‎ A. We should be optimistic in the face of uncertainty.‎ B. We should believe in God who can help us when we are in trouble.‎ C. We should never hold the belief that God can change our life.‎ D. We should be independent and enjoy ourselves in spite of difficulties.‎ ‎26. What do you think finally changed the writer’s attitude towards life?‎ A. The old magazine she came across. B. The encouragement from the woman.‎ C. The sunset they enjoyed four years ago. D. The woman’s story.‎ ‎27.What may be the best title for the text?‎ A. Depending on yourself B. Sharing beauty ‎ C. Struggling every day D. Never giving up halfway 参考答案：24--27DADB ‎[四]‎ Although his 1-year-old smart-phone still works perfectly, Li Jijia already feels the need to replace it.‎ ‎“There are many better ones available now. It's time to upgrade(更新）my phone.”‎ Li’s impatience is shared by many. Shortly after the season when new products are released（发布，发售）, many consumers feel the urge to upgrade their electronic equipment, even though the ones they have still work just fine.‎ As consumers’ minds are occupied by Apple’s newly released products and debate whether the Google tablet is better than the new Amazon Kindle, it might be time to take a step back and ask: “Do we really need the latest upgrades?”‎ According to Donald Norman, an American author, “planned obsolescence (淘汰）” is the trick behind the upgrading culture of today’s consumer ‎ electronics industry.‎ Electronics producers strategically release new upgrades periodically, both for hardware and software, so that customers on every level feel the need to buy the newest version.‎ ‎“This is an old-time trick---they’re not inventing anything new,” Norman said. “This is a wasteful system through which companies--many of them producing personal electronics-- release poor-quality products simply because they know that, in six months or a year, they’ll put out a new one.”‎ But the new psychology of consumers is part of this system, as Norman admitted, “We now want something new, something pretty, the next shiny thing.” In its most recent year, Apple's profit margin(利润) was more than 21 percent. At Hewlett-Packard, the world’s biggest PC maker, it was only 7 percent.‎ Apple’s annual upgrades of its products create sales of millions of units as owners of one year’s MacBook or iPhone line up to buy the newest version, even when the changes are slight. ‎ As to Li Jijia, the need for upgrading his smart-phone comes mainly from friends and classmates. When they are switching to the latest equipment, he worries about feeling left out.‎ ‎“Some games require better hardware to run,” said Li. “If you don't join in, you lose part of the connection to your friends.”‎ ‎25. What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s greed for new products?‎ A. Supportive. B. Optimistic. C. Critical. D. Unclear.‎ ‎26. How do the electronics companies successfully promote their latest products?‎ A. They make full use of the “planned obsolescence” strategy.‎ B. They make a fool of customers by recycling their old products.‎ C. They control the customers’ way of thinking while shopping.‎ D. They invent new products to attract the youth like Li Jijia.‎ ‎27. Why is Apple Company interested in producing latest version of its product?‎ A. To provide customers with better service.‎ B. To defeat other competitors like Hewlett-Packard. ‎ C. To establish a favorable image of itself among its customers.‎ D. To make huge profits out of its business.‎ ‎28. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Li Jijia feels the need to replace his smart-phone as a result of____.‎ A. new psychology B. peer pressure C. life style D. friends' expectation 参考答案：25-28ACBD ‎[五]‎ When my brother and I were young, my mom would take us on Transportation Days. ‎ It goes like this: You can’t take any means of transportation more than once. We would start from home, walking two blocks to the rail station. We’d take the train into the city center, then a bus, switching to the tram, then maybe a taxi. We always considered taking a horse carriage in the historic district, but we didn’t like the way the horses were treated, so we never did. At the end of the day, we took the subway to our closest station, where Mom’s friend was waiting to give us a ride home—our first car ride of the day.‎ The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mom taught us how to get around. She was born to be multimodal (多方式的). She understood that depending on cars only was a failure of imagination and, above all, a failure of confidence—the product of a childhood not spent exploring subway tunnels. ‎ Once you learn the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the train and the platform, nothing is frightening anymore. New cities are just light-rail lines to be explored. And your personal car, if you have one, becomes just one more tool in the toolbox—and often an inadequate one, limiting both your mobility and your wallet.‎ On Transportation Days, we might stop for lunch on Chestnut Street or buy a new book or toy, but the transportation was the point. First, it was ‎ exciting enough to watch the world speed by from the train window. As I got older, my mom helped me unlock the mysteries that would otherwise have paralyzed my first attempts to do it myself: How do I know where to get off? How do I know how much it costs? How do I know when I need tickets, and where to get them? What track, what line, which direction, where’s the stop, and will I get wet when we go under the river?‎ I’m writing this right now on an airplane, a means we didn’t try on our Transportation Days and, we now know, the dirtiest and most polluting of them all. My flight routed me through Philadelphia. My multimodal mom met me for dinner in the airport. She took a train to meet me. ‎ ‎29. Which was forbidden by Mom on Transportation Days?‎ ‎ A. Havinga car ride. B. Taking the train twice.‎ C. Buying more than one toy. D. Touring the historic district.‎ ‎30. According to the writer, what was the greatest benefit of her Transportation Days?‎ A. Building confidence in herself. B. Reducing her use of private cars.‎ C. Developing her sense of direction. D. Giving her knowledge about vehicles.‎ ‎31. Which means of transportation does the writer probably disapprove of (不赞成)?‎ A. Airplane. B. Subway. C. Tram. D. Car.‎ 参考答案：29-31 DCC ‎ ‎[六]‎ One of the greatest contributions（投稿）to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文) showing ‎ how it was used. ‎ This was a huge task. So Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American Surgeon（外科医生）who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,” 50 miles from Oxford. ‎ Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors. ‎ But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always refuse to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell（囚室）at the Broadmoor Asylum（精神病院）for the Criminally insane. ‎ Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds. ‎ In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend. ‎ Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient. ‎ ‎32. According to the text, the first Oxford English Dictionary _______. ‎ A. came out before Minor died B. was edited by an American volunteer ‎ C. included the English words invented by Murray D. was intended to be the most ambitious English dictionary ‎33. How did Dr. Minor contribute to the dictionary? A. He helped Murray to find hundreds of volunteers. ‎ ‎ B. He sent newspapers, magazines and books to Murray. C. He provided a great number of words and quotations. D. He went to England to work with Murray. ‎ ‎34. Prof. Murray and Dr. Minor became friends mainly because _______.‎ A. they both served in the Civil War B. they had a common interest in words C. Minor recovered with the help of Murray D. Murray went to America regularly to visit Minor ‎35. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The history of the English language. ‎ B. The friendship between Murray and Minor. C. Broadmoor Asylum and its patients. ‎ D. Minor and the first Oxford English Dictionary. ‎ 参考答案： 32-35 BADB ‎[七]‎ I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn't want me for the film-it wanted somebody as well known as Paul-he stood up for me. I don't know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers． The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors：humorous，aggressive，and making fun of each other-but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core （核心）of our relationship off the screen． We shared the belief that if you're fortunate enough to have success，you should put something back-he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in ‎ the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events. I last saw him a few months ago. He'd been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn't talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words．‎ 21. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first？ ‎ A. Paul Newman wanted it． B. The studio powers didn't like his agent． C. He wasn't famous enough． D.

Their support for each other．‎ 24. What is the author's purpose in writing the test？ ‎ A. To show his love of films． B. To remember a friend． C. To introduce a new movie． D.

However, it’s never easy especially for those with children. So, when I found out I was going to stay in South Korea for a year, I was nervous about how my five children, particularly my eldest daughter Abigail, would take the news since it meant I wouldn’t be home to see her graduate from high school.‎ To my surprise, Abigail told me not to worry and even suggested we make the news known among family members. “We’ve been lucky you haven’t had to be sent abroad yet. Anyway, we can get connected through the Internet. See me on your phone.” Abigail said. She stepped into many of my roles when I was gone. I wanted to find a way to thank her and show her how proud I was of her. I started planning the special surprise when my request to return home a few weeks earlier to attend Abigail’s graduation ceremony(典礼) was approved.‎ When my time in South Korea finally came to an end, I flew home, and stayed in a hotel. On Abigail’s graduation day, I hid in an office behind the stage waiting until I heard her name called. I just kept thinking “Don’t cry. Don’t trip in your heels. Don’t fall over.” At last! Abigail was up on stage. I slipped up behind her, whispered in her ear, and around she turned! “I was just thinking, like, ‘You aren’t supposed to be here. What? What?
