The Origins of Famous Brands
Our lives are full of brand names and trademarked products that we use every day. Although many brand names
are simple acronyms(首字母缩略词) or versions of their founders names, some of the companies we trust every
day actually have fascinating and surprising back stories.
Starbucks
It seems fitting that the most famous coffee brand in the world would take its name from one of the world’s
greatest works of literature. The inspiration for the name of the coffeehouse came from Herman Melville’sMoby
Dick. The founders’ original idea was to name the company after the Captain Ahab’s ship, but they eventually
decided that Pequot wasn’t a great name for coffee, so they chose Ahab’s first mate, Starbucks, as the name
instead.
Google was originally called Backrub, for it searched for links in every corner of the Web. In 1997, when the
founders of the company were searching for a new name showing a huge amount of data for their rapidly
improving search technology, a friend suggested the word “googol”. When a friend tried to register the new
domain (域) name, he misspelled “googol” as “google”.
Nike
Originally founded as a distributor for Japanese running shoes, the company was originally named BRS, or Blue
Ribbon Sports. In 1971, BRS introduced its own soccer shoe, a model called Nike, which is alsothe name for the
Greek goddess of victory. In 1978, the company officially renamed itself as Nike, Inc.
The right name is essential to a company’s success, and a great origin story is just as important as a great product.
An attractive origin story is one more thing that keeps customers guessing, wondering, and buying its products.
1. What is the name of the Captain Ahab’s ship?
A. Moby Dick. B. Starbucks.
C. Pequot. D. Herman Melville.
2. Why did the founders of the Google want to change its name? A. They mistook their name.
B. They wanted new customers.
C. The company’s original name was too long.
D. The company’s search technology was improving rapidly.
3. Where does the importance of the origin story of one company lie in?
A. It can change the company’s image.
B. It can add myth to the company.
C. It explains the development of the company to customers.
D. It makes customers imagine and purchase its goods.

After almost an entire year of not going shopping and vacationing, you find the numbers reflected by your
bank account meet your heart's desire.
Now the most important question comes, what to do with the earnings? Should you fulfill dreams of the
present, invest in preserving the future or perhaps keep saving it for a rainy day?
Our elders always try to teach us the value of money and its moral weakness. One may be on a winning
streak（连续成功）now，but it will not always be so. One will have days when there will be no sunshine but only
rain. and their luck will hide behind those thick grey clouds. Save for those rainy days,they say.Do not spend too
much,live within a budget,refrain fromcredit no matter how small and save for the future.
Since the very first time we earn our own money from a summer job or earning our first salary, the lessons
start. In fact, the pocket money that we receive when we are children begins the process of learning how to best
manage one's money.
People often think like this-one day when I have enough money, I will travel the world. Then, once we do
earn enough money, tomorrow's plans start shadowing our present ones. However, is it wise to keep living for that
future? Will we still enjoy or even be able to backpack in -our 50s? How will we ever enjoy our present if we are
constantly living for the future?
Good questions, aren't they? 1 say travel but don' t let yourself run dry, treat yourself to some luxuries but
also keep enough for your necessities, and enjoy your present but with a plan for the foreseeable future.Life is for
the living. so live it sensibly.
4. Why do elders teach us to save money?
A. Because there are more rainy days in life. B. Because no one can win streak.
C. Because good days may end.
D. Because money can't buy everything.
5. What does the underlined phrase "“refrain from" mean in Paragraph 3?
A. select from B. hold back C. rely on D. prefer to
6. What can we infer from the passage?
A. We should enjoy ourselves at the right time.
B. We should wait to travel until we have enough money.
C. We should live for the future no matter what.
D. We should enjoy ourselves to the fullest when we have money.

一、现代文阅读（36分）
(一)现代文阅读I(9分)
阅读材料，完成各题。
在大多数汉代艺术作品中，有一种以农业经济为基础，以儒家伦理与人情之常为基础的美学观，呈现了“朴厚” 的特色。汉乐府中常见的“上言加餐饭”、“努力加餐饭”，是用质朴的方式来表达对亲人的恩爱和祝福，在平凡得不能再平凡的一碗白饭中寄托着对生活的爱与肯定。其厚重之情只有放在那个不尚奢华、安分为人的时代才能被理解。汉代的美，正美在这日日月月的人情之常。汉初，这个刚建的帝国就战兢兢地稳定着农业经济，把在不断动荡中破坏的生民基础一点一点整合起来。汉代律法有意地压抑先秦时期工商业奇巧的暴富发展，使百姓安分于土地之上和伦常秩序之中，没有对人生的妄想，没有奇迹式的憧憬，也没有巨变和幻灭。大约到东汉末，《古诗十九首》一类的作品忽然有变，一种不安的声音逐渐突破了人情之常的和音。从原来注重生活事实的描述，转到更多地对内心本质的感叹，从原来百姓的人情之常转到了对个人特殊心情的哀怜。自汉武帝扩大乐府组织广泛地采诗合乐，到东汉末年《古诗十九首》的出现，这四百年是中国诗歌由民间文艺发展到文人创作的过渡时期，进而形成魏晋艺术的变局。脱离了生产的文人，更专注于形式技巧的追求，对自然与生活产生了更细致敏感的情思。艺术的主流不再是流布在广大土地上的民间歌谣与石刻画像上的农渔之乐，而是狷狂自傲、放任不羁的“名士”以纤细的情感和精致的技术唱出的“离群”哀歌。这些文人艺术家是更精细了，而精细只是无奈与挫败，是感伤与退避，不再是昂扬的奋战。在魏晋时期，艺术形式与技巧空前丰收，专业化的艺术家大量出现，艺术工作从“工匠”逐渐转移到“文人”身上，从事艺术工作的人在社会上有了更被承认与肯定的地位。
(选自蒋勋《美的沉思》，有删改)
1. 结合文意，简要分析汉代艺术“朴厚”特色的形成原因。
2. 《古诗十九首》的出现，表现出哪些变化?

It’s a tempting habit for them to look at their smartphone rather than make eye contact with someone. There
is so much to look at: photographs, social media feeds, messages and emails. No wonder they are glued to their
screens. But is it good for them?
There have been many claims about the damage looking at screens does to our eyesight. Some people feared
staring at a small bright box could make us short-sighted. This is a particular concern for children and young
people, who spend a higher percentage of time using electronic devices. BBC reporter, Rory Jones, says, “There is
enough evidence that no matter how long teenagers are spending looking at screens, they come across
information about issues such as anorexia and self-harm that could prove damaging to their mental health.”

festivals springing up in diverse parts of the world. Here is a list of four noteworthy art fairs.

biggest contemporary art fair in the world. Art Basel takes place over a 5-day period each June in Basel,
Switzerland. The high cost of renting space for gallery owners is offset（抵消）by the huge attendance at the fair.

As the MOOC craze continues to explode, anyone interested in taking an online course faces a tricky question:
Which course to take? Here are five aspects that you should consider before you start.
(1)What is your learning style?
Many MOOCs are video-based. Other courses use presentation formats. Some also require participation in
group work. If you want to stay motivated during your course, think about how you enjoy learning.
Are you a visual learner, preferring to use images to understand a topic? If so, a video-based course will work
well for you. If you are a verbal learner who gains new information by speaking and writing, try a text-based
course with lots of note-taking. Social learners, meanwhile, will thrive in forum discussions and project-based

Thank you. It’s my great honor to be given this award.
You cannot imagine that I have always been a late starter. Years ago, when I was 16, I took an important exam
— GCE(General Certificate of Education), which turned out to be a failure. My dad was reading my report card and
saw that my position in class was 29th, but the number in class was 29. It meant that I had achieved the
distinction of being bottom of my class.
I wasn’t lazy, and I was really trying. You can picture how I felt. Dad put his hand on my shoulder and said,
“You can only do the best you can, but whatever you decide to do, make sure you love it.” He was a really sweet
guy and a great man. I knew his attempt to hide his disappointment with some of his encouraging words. I was
