第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）
第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Growers around the world are using new methods to grow grapes to make wine. They use natural and organic methods to control harmful insects and weeds instead of using chemicals. Now, a winery in Canada has adopted a natural way to control its grapevines(葡萄藤). The Featherstone Winery is in southern Ontario. The grapevines, like other plants, need to be cut every year.
Cutting grapevines must be done very carefully. Only a targeted area of leaves is removed from the lower part of the vines to help the grapes grow better. But at the Featherstone Winery, no man or machine does the cutting. Instead, the job is done by 40 little wooly lambs.
David Johnson owns the vineyard. He says he learned about using lambs while visiting wineries in New Zealand. The young lambs are perfectly designed to do the job. They eat the grape leaves on the lower parts of the vine. But they are not tall enough to reach the grapes. They only weigh about 22 kilograms, so they do not beat down the soil. And their waste makes good organic fertilizer. In addition, using the lambs costs much less than hiring workers to cut the vines for seven weeks in summer. And when the cutting is done in August, the lambs become tasty dishes.
Mr Johnson says he had a difficult time finding enough lambs to do the job. There are about 50 million lambs in New Zealand. But there are not nearly as many
in Ontario. Also, some organic pesticides(杀虫剂) are harmful to lambs. And the lambs must be watched to make sure they do not eat too much of the grapevines.
David Johnson says the lambs help him carry out his environmental ideas about farming. They are lovely and peaceful and he likes having them in his vineyard. People visiting the vineyard also enjoy watching the lambs do their job.
21. Farmers who grow grapes with natural and organic methods_____________. .
A. don't cut grapevines every year
B. don't use chemicals to control harmful insects and weeds
C. don't need to control harmful insects and weeds
D. don't use organic fertilizer
22. Which of the following statements about using lambs to do the cutting is WRONG?
A. Using lambs costs more than hiring workers.
B. Lambs won't eat the grapes.
C. David Johnson learned this way in New Zealand.
D. Lambs can be eaten after the cutting is done.
23. We can infer from the passage that David Johnson_____________________. .
A. owns several wineries in Canada
B. buys lambs from New Zealand
C. is concerned about protecting the environment
D. loves keeping lambs instead of farming
B
Feeling good and having humor in our lives can do wonders for our position and productivity（工作效率）, which means that there is definitely a place for some humor on the job. Having a smiling face will help your coworkers and supervisors feel better being around you, and you may well end up harvesting the rewards by laughing more in the workplace. But you need to know how to apply humor in your work environment.
One of the main rules with humor in the workplace is to avoid argument when you are joking. Stay well away from joking about political affairs(事件), race and religion. Never make fun of other people within your organization, as you are trying to win friends with the people you work with, and not set against them. If you can't help yourself, please be extremely careful.
Making jokes about the ups and downs of your trade is a safe way to add wit(机智风趣) to the place of work. You will have the benefit of knowing precisely what your coworkers have to face each and every day, and it's much better as it helps
to let go of tensions and lower stress levels by getting them to chuckle（咯咯笑）about the situations they come across frequently.
The very best time for some humor is when you are not working, but still in the region of the people you work with, such as a coffee or lunch break. You can also make an effort to be funny on the job, but when you are working, it's a good idea to use jokes much more discreetly than you would normally do.
In general, humor in the workplace can flex your creative mus cles and be a great help to your job.
24. What is a proper topic for you to joke about at work?
A. A funny political leader.
B. Another person's religious belief.
C. A person in your group.
D. A mistake you made at work.
25. What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. Being humorous at work can win you friends.
B. We should always have humor at work.
C. We should be careful when making jokes at work.
D. We should never joke about a person at work.
26. The underlined word "discreetly" in the fourth paragraph means__________. .
A. carefully
B. randomly
C. humorously
D. secretly
27. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The benefits of having humor.
B. How to be a humorous person.
C. Good manners in the workplace.
D. How to make jokes at work.
C
The world's richest man might seem to have it all, but Bill Gates has one regret. The self-made
billionaire said he felt stupid for not knowing any foreign languages.
Speaking in his third Ask Me Anything question-and-answer session for online forum Reddit(红迪网), the Microsoft founder said that he wished he spoke French, Arabic or Chinese.
He said, "I took Latin and Greek in high school and got As and I guess it helps my vocabulary. I keep hoping to get time to study one of these—probably French because it is the easiest. I did Duolingo for a while but didn't keep it up."
Gates, who is worth $79.3 billion, praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for surprising an audience in Beijing when he spoke fluent Chinese. "Mark Zuckerberg amazingly learned Chinese and did a Q & A with Chinese students—unbelievable, isn't it?" he said.
This isn't the first time for Gates to admit his regret over language. He also showed his habits at home and personal insights.
Last February, Gates said he likes to do the dishes himself—to his own special standards every night and also told the interviewer that his wife, Melinda, would likely want Samuel L. Jackson to play her husband in a biopic(传记片).
He also admitted that he would pick up a $100 bill if he found it on the street.
As he took the top spot on Forbes(福布斯) 28th Annual Billionaires list last year for the fourth time, he said he is pretty basic when it comes to spending on clothes and food, but that he enjoys investing(投资) in shoes and rackets(球拍) when he plays tennis.
When asked a life lesson he had to learn the hard way, the billionaire said staying up too late is a habit he is still trying to break. "Don't stay up too late even if the book is really exciting. You will regret it in the morning. Pam still working on this problem," he said.
28. The underlined part in paragraph 8 may actually mean that______________. .
A. it is important to lay a good foundation of life
B. food and clothing are basic needs for people's life
C. he doesn't spend much money on food and clothes
D. he never cares about buying food and clothing
29. What advice did Bill Gates give?
A. Avoid staying up too late.
B. Be a good language learner.
C. Do the dishes yourself at home.
D. Pick up the $100 bills in
the streets.
30. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Bill Gates is also the founder of Facebook.
B. Bill Gates topped the list of Forbes 28 times.
C. Bill Gates was good at learning languages in high school.
D. Bill Gates' wife wants Samuel to play a game with Gates.
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。
(务必将对应答案填写在71-75处, 如选项为EFG请直接涂该字母)
Everyone Can Be Great; You Just Need To Know How Whether you want to be a great student, a brilliant researcher, an excellent parent or a highly successful businessman, you will have the same mindset(思维方式). You have a goal, your values and ethics(道德)are rock solid, you persevere(坚持), and you keep victory in sight. Sounds simple, right? Well, not really. 31 Set big goals.
If you have minor goals or objectives, you will never be great. 32 Big goals drive you farther. Write the goals down. To achieve your goals you also need to know your strengths and weaknesses. Self-criticism is also helpful to achieve your targets.
Remember your values.
33 You will not cheat in exams and you will not invest in shady(可疑的)stocks. Honesty and fair, ethical business practices will stand the test of time and are a vital part in achieving greatness.
Learn to handle difficulties.
Read any book you want on all the great success stories of our times from Albert Einstein, Nelson Mandela, Steve Jobs, to Bill Gates. They all had one thing in common. 34
35
In seeking greatness, many people neglect（忽略） to look after the emotional, spiritual, and wellness aspects of their lives on this planet. Work takes over 95% of their lives. But with small changes, you can transform the quality of your relationships and regain work-life balance.
A.Manage your work-life balance.
B.Enjoy life and forget about work.
C.They had to face troubles and failures, but they did not quit.
D.Take every chance you get to learn from others and build a network.
E.Here are some things you need to concentrate on to make sure you know how
to be great.

of being great.
