Google．B. Cadillac．C. Starbucks．D. Rolex．17.Which of the following statements is True？______A. Google was adopted because "googol" was not available then．B. Cadillac was named after the founding father of the company．C. Starbucks was used due to the co-founder's love for his town．D. Hans Wilsdorf intended Rolex to be universally accepted．BIf you could travel back in time five centuries，you'd encounter a freshly painted "Mona Lisa" in Renaissance Europe and cooler temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere．This was a world in the midst of the Little Ice Age and a period of vast European exploration now known as the Age of Discovery．But what if we could look 500 years into the future and glimpse the Earth of the 26th century？Would the world seem as different to us as the 21st century would have seemed to residents of the 16 century？For starters，what will the weather be like？Depending on whom you ask，the 26th century will either be a little chilly or extremely hot．Some solar output models suggest that by the 2500s，Earth's climate will have cooled back down to near Little Ice Age conditions．Other studies predict that ongoing climate change and fossil fuel use will leave much of the planet too hot for human life by 2300．Some experts date the beginning of human climate change back to the Industrial Revolution in the 18 oos，others to slash-and-burn agricultural practices in prehistoric times．Either way，tool-wielding humans alter their environment --- and our 26th century tools might be quite impressive indeed．Theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku predicts that in a mere 100 years，humanity will make the leap from a type zero civilization to a type I civilization on the Kardashev Scale．In other words，we'll become a species that can use the entire sum of a planet's energy，mastering clean energy technologies such as fusion and solar power．Furthermore，they'll be able to handle planetary energy in order to control global climate．Technology has improved significantly since the 1500s，and this pace will likely continue in the centuries to come．Physicist Stephen Hawking proposes that by the year 2600，this growth would see 10 new theoretical physics papers published every 10 seconds．If Moore's Law holds true and both computer speed and complexity double every 18 months，then some of these studies may be the work of highly intelligent machines．What other technologies will shape the world of the 26th century？Futurist and author Adrian Berry believes the average human life span will reach 140 years and that the digital storage of human personalities will enable a computerized state of living forever．Humans will farm the oceans，travel in starships and reside in both lunar and Martian colonies while robots explore the outer cosmos．18.Why does the author mention the Little Ice Age in the first paragraph？______A. To show the severity of the current global warming．B. To stress the close connection with the current climate．C. To provide contrast to the prediction of future climate．D. To illustrate the importance of protecting the environment．19.The prediction that Earth will cool down is based on ______A. changes in solar activityB. ongoing climate changeC. previous general assumptionsD. current consumption of fossil fuel20.What effect will the 26th century technologies have on human beings？______A. Humans will suffer from severe global warming．B. Cyber technology helps human personalities survive．C. Humans needn't work with the application of robots．D. Highly intelligent machines will replace humans．CHow would you describe your style？Formal？Classical？Casual？Smart？First of all，what is style？Let's hear a few words of wisdom from the wise．"Style is knowing who you are and what you want to say，" （Gore Vidal）；"Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charm，" （John Fairchild）；"Style is the perfection of a point of view，" （Robert Eberhart）；"Style is a simple way of saying complicated things，" （Jean Cocteau）；"Style is the dress of thoughts，" （Lord Chesterfield）．So，now you know what style is，you'll need to buy some clothes．But where？In the UK ，you can get really cheap，stylish，second-hand clothes at charity shops．They're great if you want exclusive labels but don't want to pay the price．The only difficulty is discovering where the really good bargains are．But don't worry，Leila Gray can help you here．She's the proud owner of a vintage Hardy Amies coat，picked up at a charity shop for ￡20---a good deal when you realize it cost more than ￡800 new．"You have to go to the richer areas of a city，" she says．"That's where all the labels are．It can take a bit of hunting around，but that is half the fun，and there's a lot of buried treasure just waiting to be discovered．" So，now you know where to buy your new，stylish clothes，how do you acquire your style？Experts say that mixing and matching from charity shops can help you find your own style----something that's really you．That's what Scottish musician Morus did．"My fashion tip is this，" he says，"Look at yourself with the eye of a graphic designer．If you can't be attractive，aim for ‘interesting' or ‘original'．" Momus' unique style could even make him happier，too．As psychologist Marilyn Elias explains，the happiest people "judge themselves by their own yardsticks，never against what others do or have"．Shoichi Aoki，the founder of Japanese street style magazine FRUiTS，agrees．"I think real fashion is what people wear on the streets，the clothes that they wear，the way that they wear them，" he says．"What you see in fashion magazines and on models has been styled and it's more commercial．" He says that his inspiration for FRUiTS came from people combining traditional Japanese clothing such as the kimono and "geta" （Japanese wooden clogs）with Western fashion．"This really caught my eye，" Aoki adds．These styles may seem wild，but Aoki's idea is not：be bold，be creative and find something that suits you．Maybe it's time to create your own look．There are many online guides to help you．Perhaps the best advice comes from a website called wikiHow，"If you see something you like，" it says，"feel free to copy，but don't make yourself a clone…mix it up and make it yours．" Think about it!21.What should you first do to choose they style that best suits you？______A. Follow the images of the wise people．B. Go for whatever is fashionable．C. Simplify complicated expressions．D. Figure out what a true style is．22.What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 2 refer to？______A. Getting clothes of leading brands．B. Buying clothes at rather low prices．C. Searching for really good bargains．D. Starting a charity shop selling clothes．23.What is the focus of Shoichi Aoki and his magazine FRUiTS？______A. Commercialization of fashion magazines．B. Expression of something personal and creative．C. Designing fashionable wear for men in the street．D. Promoting Japanese traditional clothing worldwide24.What is probably the best title for the passage？______A. How to find the style that suits youB. Where to pick up a bargainC. What to wear to develop your styleD. Whom to model to be popularDJ．K．Rowling is the author of the most successful book series in history，but her attempt to take on a new career as a screenwriter hasn't been as smooth as she may have thought it would be．The sequel（续篇），"Fantastic Beasts：The Crimes of Grindelwald"，shows that even the most successful author in the world is in need of checks and balances when making the transition to cinema．Following the sale of half a billion copies of the Harry Potter series，Rowling is working hard to extend and enrich the mythology she created around the child wizard．In contrast to the eight Harry Potter movies，which were based on the seven books and most of which were written by experienced screenwriter Steve Kloves，the "Fantastic Beasts" series is scripted only by Rowling．This time she skipped the bookstores and went straight to the movie theater．The "Fantastic Beasts" series takes its title from one of Harry Potter's textbooks．The leap backward in time，a new set of adult heroes and a globe-spanning background show that Rowling is in tune with her fans and the spirit of the times．Harry Potter and his friends started out as a typical product of 1990s naivety，but since then the loyal veteran audience has experienced the shocks of the 21st century and grown mature and discouraged．The "Fantastic Beasts" series feel less like children's fare；they deal with adults and frightening events that occurred in Europe at the end of the 1920s．It's 1927，and the criminal Grindelwald has escaped from prison to Europe．The hero，Newt Scamander，a zoologist of fantastic beasts，prefers to distance himself from politics and maintain his improvised nature reserve in London．But the young Prof．Dumbledore reminds him that neutrality is not an option in hard times．Dumbledore urges him to cross the Channel to Paris and stop Grindelwald，who is trying to plot a war to ensure the purity of the wizard race．The rough outline of the plot constitutes only part of the movie．There are many other characters who appear in the mystery．I will mention the boy Credence who continues to have a central role in the struggle between the hero and the villain，even as his background remains a mystery．Similarly，Newt's brother and partner，the snake-woman Nagini，and other new and old characters hint at an obscure past and future．Rowling populates her world with characters large and small，odd beasts and simplifies its story to lay the foundation work of the universe．The film lays strong foundations of mystery，but forgets to build any sort of structure above them．It's like a construction site where the budget ran out too fast．With movie screens full of superheroes and fantasy films，and every studio trying to float a fictional universe，Rowling is today's most creative builder of cinema worlds，but there's still a difference between her and a mega-corporation like Disney．Every character and beast is there because Rowling said so，not because the marketing division thought it wouldpromote sales of merchandise．Rowling clearly has a true passion to create a mythology，and just as clearly，she hasn't yet finished creating it．The "Fantastic Beasts" series offers a world even fuller than that of Harry Potter．Once more she collaborates with David Yates，who directed the last four Harry Potter movies and now the two "Fantastic Beasts" pictures．Still，the world she's created would be even more wondrous if Rowling had only filled it out with a crystallized or at least coherent plot．In the Harry Potter series，she mostly succeeded in making the films into independent works．But without experienced screenwriters to mediate between her imagination and the screen，the two "Fantastic Beasts" episodes are more like a chess game in which the creator moves characters from A to B as part of a broader strategy---which remains unclear．"Fantastic Beasts：The Crimes of Grindelwald" is a film made for existing fans and doesn't bother to appeal to a new audience．Not by chance does it offer a more mature world for fans who have grown up at least as much as Daniel Radcliffe．For them，the movie delivers the goods，but little of the magic remains．If Rowling continues to put out films without a beginning and an end，her world will collapse，leaving only the middle．It may be entertainment with captivating characters and effects，but it's not a movie．25.What changes has J．K．Rowling made in her writing career？______A. She was forced to abandon her original writing career and start a new one．B. She was determined to skip the bookstores and publish books on her own．C. She started a new fantasy book having nothing to do with the Harry Potter series．D. She tried to enrich the Harry Potter series as a screenwriter rather than a novelist．26.Who are probably the target audience of the "Fantastic Beasts" series？______A. Kids newly introduced to magic．B. Teenage students with grand dreams．C. Adults going through life changes．D. Professional critics of fantasy books．27.What are the features of the "Fantastic Beasts" series？______A. Complex story and exciting characters．B. Simple story but abundant characters．C. Childish story and strange characters．D. Sad story but inspiring characters．28.Big corporations like Disney choose movie characters and beasts based on ______ ．A. potential profitability of the moviesB. preference of their screenwritersC. consultation with the original authorD. investigation into successful films29.How does the author explain Rowling's failure to create a clear plot？______A. By describing shooting processes．B. By listing official statistics．C. By drawing a comparison．D. By citing examples．30.What does the author think of J．K．Rowling's performance as a screenwriter？______A. It is really a disappointment for movie goers．B. It is widely acknowledged by her book fans．C. There exits much more magic in her screenplay．D. There is still much room for improvement．三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共20.0分）I first started writing in the summer of 1998．Back then I was a teacher．After years of dreaming，I decided it was finally time to write a book．For 10 years I wrote，(31) four middle-grade novels and six pictures books almost only to editors．This was(32) in thesnail-mail age．Remember the (33) you experienced as a child waiting for birthday presents to arrive in the mail？That was me for the better part of a decade．In Spring 2009，at the last minute，I decided to hand in a middle-grade historicalnovel-in-verse to a(34) at a local writing conference．I knew in my heart that it wasmy(35)work，but I wasn't sure how it would be(36)alongside pieces meant for the adult market．But then ----I won．My prize (37) a one-on-one interview with an editor who，after (38)my manuscript，asked，"Why don't you have a（n）(39) yet？"Not long after that，I(40)with my first agent．Then in 2013，after parting with my first agent，I was again faced with the(41) for representation．This time I submitted to three agencies and got two (42)．Over the span of 20 years，I've got 18 completed manuscripts and was(43) almost 350 times．It took me 14 years to see my first book(44)the shelf．You could look at these numbers and get pretty(45)．I can look at these numbers and feel the same ．I know plenty of people with a (46) apprenticeship（学徒期）．I have friends who have been more(47)．All sorts of authors I (48) with in 2012 have published far more than I have．But here's the (49) thing I've learned in the last 20 years：My process is mine．My journey is mine．Each book finds its way on its own．The writing life is a long-term journey．There is no right way．There is no (50) fix．There is no easy road．There is a lot of frustration and disappointment，but there is joy and satisfaction，too．31.

emotional intelligence because they either don't know where to focus their efforts or they haven't understood how to improve these skills on a practical level．In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders，we have found that if you're looking to develop particular EI strengths，it helps toconsider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve----and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually．The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception （how you see yourself）differs from your reputation （how others see you）．This is especially true for the development of emotional intelligence because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions．For example，most of us think that we're good listeners，but very often that's really not the case．Without this external reality check，it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance．Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do so．To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation，you should use a 360-drgree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple facets of EI．The key is to find one that guarantees confidentiality to those giving you feedback and that is focused on development and not on performance assessment．Secondly，when you get your feedback from an assessment，let that inform what you want to improve．But also consider what your goals are．When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence，you're at a huge disadvantage if you're only interested because others said you should be．Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in hour sense of self that being intrinsically（内在的）motivated to make the effort matters more when changing longstanding habits than it does when simply learning a skill ．That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the intersection of the feedback you've gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations （渴望）．Understanding the impacts of your current EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over the long haul as you do the work of strengthening your emotional intelligence．Once you've determined which EI skills you want to focus on，identify specific actions that you'll take．If you're working on becoming a better listener，for example，you might decide that when you're conversing with someone you'll take the time to pause，listen to what they have to say，and check that you understand before you reply．Keep it specific．You should also take every naturally occurring opportunity to practice the skill you're developing，no matter how small．By starting to change your routine reactions，you'll be well on your way to figuring out the old habits that aren't serving you well and transforming them into new，improved ones that do．PassageoutlineSupporting detailsIntroduction Though globally acknowledged，EI still (1) professionals，for they aren't aware of how to improve

Google．B. Cadillac．C. Starbucks．D. Rolex．17.Which of the following statements is True？______A. Google was adopted because "googol" was not available then．B. Cadillac was named after the founding father of the company．C. Starbucks was used due to the co-founder's love for his town．D. Hans Wilsdorf intended Rolex to be universally accepted．BIf you could travel back in time five centuries，you'd encounter a freshly painted "Mona Lisa" in Renaissance Europe and cooler temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere．This was a world in the midst of the Little Ice Age and a period of vast European exploration now known as the Age of Discovery．But what if we could look 500 years into the future and glimpse the Earth of the 26th century？Would the world seem as different to us as the 21st century would have seemed to residents of the 16 century？For starters，what will the weather be like？Depending on whom you ask，the 26th century will either be a little chilly or extremely hot．Some solar output models suggest that by the 2500s，Earth's climate will have cooled back down to near Little Ice Age conditions．Other studies predict that ongoing climate change and fossil fuel use will leave much of the planet too hot for human life by 2300．Some experts date the beginning of human climate change back to the Industrial Revolution in the 18 oos，others to slash-and-burn agricultural practices in prehistoric times．Either way，tool-wielding humans alter their environment --- and our 26th century tools might be quite impressive indeed．Theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku predicts that in a mere 100 years，humanity will make the leap from a type zero civilization to a type I civilization on the Kardashev Scale．In other words，we'll become a species that can use the entire sum of a planet's energy，mastering clean energy technologies such as fusion and solar power．Furthermore，they'll be able to handle planetary energy in order to control global climate．Technology has improved significantly since the 1500s，and this pace will likely continue in the centuries to come．Physicist Stephen Hawking proposes that by the year 2600，this growth would see 10 new theoretical physics papers published every 10 seconds．If Moore's Law holds true and both computer speed and complexity double every 18 months，then some of these studies may be the work of highly intelligent machines．What other technologies will shape the world of the 26th century？Futurist and author Adrian Berry believes the average human life span will reach 140 years and that the digital storage of human personalities will enable a computerized state of living forever．Humans will farm the oceans，travel in starships and reside in both lunar and Martian colonies while robots explore the outer cosmos．18.Why does the author mention the Little Ice Age in the first paragraph？______A. To show the severity of the current global warming．B. To stress the close connection with the current climate．C. To provide contrast to the prediction of future climate．D. To illustrate the importance of protecting the environment．19.The prediction that Earth will cool down is based on ______A. changes in solar activityB. ongoing climate changeC. previous general assumptionsD. current consumption of fossil fuel20.What effect will the 26th century technologies have on human beings？______A. Humans will suffer from severe global warming．B. Cyber technology helps human personalities survive．C. Humans needn't work with the application of robots．D. Highly intelligent machines will replace humans．CHow would you describe your style？Formal？Classical？Casual？Smart？First of all，what is style？Let's hear a few words of wisdom from the wise．"Style is knowing who you are and what you want to say，" （Gore Vidal）；"Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charm，" （John Fairchild）；"Style is the perfection of a point of view，" （Robert Eberhart）；"Style is a simple way of saying complicated things，" （Jean Cocteau）；"Style is the dress of thoughts，" （Lord Chesterfield）．So，now you know what style is，you'll need to buy some clothes．But where？In the UK ，you can get really cheap，stylish，second-hand clothes at charity shops．They're great if you want exclusive labels but don't want to pay the price．The only difficulty is discovering where the really good bargains are．But don't worry，Leila Gray can help you here．She's the proud owner of a vintage Hardy Amies coat，picked up at a charity shop for ￡20---a good deal when you realize it cost more than ￡800 new．"You have to go to the richer areas of a city，" she says．"That's where all the labels are．It can take a bit of hunting around，but that is half the fun，and there's a lot of buried treasure just waiting to be discovered．" So，now you know where to buy your new，stylish clothes，how do you acquire your style？Experts say that mixing and matching from charity shops can help you find your own style----something that's really you．That's what Scottish musician Morus did．"My fashion tip is this，" he says，"Look at yourself with the eye of a graphic designer．If you can't be attractive，aim for ‘interesting' or ‘original'．" Momus' unique style could even make him happier，too．As psychologist Marilyn Elias explains，the happiest people "judge themselves by their own yardsticks，never against what others do or have"．Shoichi Aoki，the founder of Japanese street style magazine FRUiTS，agrees．"I think real fashion is what people wear on the streets，the clothes that they wear，the way that they wear them，" he says．"What you see in fashion magazines and on models has been styled and it's more commercial．" He says that his inspiration for FRUiTS came from people combining traditional Japanese clothing such as the kimono and "geta" （Japanese wooden clogs）with Western fashion．"This really caught my eye，" Aoki adds．These styles may seem wild，but Aoki's idea is not：be bold，be creative and find something that suits you．Maybe it's time to create your own look．There are many online guides to help you．Perhaps the best advice comes from a website called wikiHow，"If you see something you like，" it says，"feel free to copy，but don't make yourself a clone…mix it up and make it yours．" Think about it!21.What should you first do to choose they style that best suits you？______A. Follow the images of the wise people．B. Go for whatever is fashionable．C. Simplify complicated expressions．D. Figure out what a true style is．22.What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 2 refer to？______A. Getting clothes of leading brands．B. Buying clothes at rather low prices．C. Searching for really good bargains．D. Starting a charity shop selling clothes．23.What is the focus of Shoichi Aoki and his magazine FRUiTS？______A. Commercialization of fashion magazines．B. Expression of something personal and creative．C. Designing fashionable wear for men in the street．D. Promoting Japanese traditional clothing worldwide24.What is probably the best title for the passage？______A. How to find the style that suits youB. Where to pick up a bargainC. What to wear to develop your styleD. Whom to model to be popularDJ．K．Rowling is the author of the most successful book series in history，but her attempt to take on a new career as a screenwriter hasn't been as smooth as she may have thought it would be．The sequel（续篇），"Fantastic Beasts：The Crimes of Grindelwald"，shows that even the most successful author in the world is in need of checks and balances when making the transition to cinema．Following the sale of half a billion copies of the Harry Potter series，Rowling is working hard to extend and enrich the mythology she created around the child wizard．In contrast to the eight Harry Potter movies，which were based on the seven books and most of which were written by experienced screenwriter Steve Kloves，the "Fantastic Beasts" series is scripted only by Rowling．This time she skipped the bookstores and went straight to the movie theater．The "Fantastic Beasts" series takes its title from one of Harry Potter's textbooks．The leap backward in time，a new set of adult heroes and a globe-spanning background show that Rowling is in tune with her fans and the spirit of the times．Harry Potter and his friends started out as a typical product of 1990s naivety，but since then the loyal veteran audience has experienced the shocks of the 21st century and grown mature and discouraged．The "Fantastic Beasts" series feel less like children's fare；they deal with adults and frightening events that occurred in Europe at the end of the 1920s．It's 1927，and the criminal Grindelwald has escaped from prison to Europe．The hero，Newt Scamander，a zoologist of fantastic beasts，prefers to distance himself from politics and maintain his improvised nature reserve in London．But the young Prof．Dumbledore reminds him that neutrality is not an option in hard times．Dumbledore urges him to cross the Channel to Paris and stop Grindelwald，who is trying to plot a war to ensure the purity of the wizard race．The rough outline of the plot constitutes only part of the movie．There are many other characters who appear in the mystery．I will mention the boy Credence who continues to have a central role in the struggle between the hero and the villain，even as his background remains a mystery．Similarly，Newt's brother and partner，the snake-woman Nagini，and other new and old characters hint at an obscure past and future．Rowling populates her world with characters large and small，odd beasts and simplifies its story to lay the foundation work of the universe．The film lays strong foundations of mystery，but forgets to build any sort of structure above them．It's like a construction site where the budget ran out too fast．With movie screens full of superheroes and fantasy films，and every studio trying to float a fictional universe，Rowling is today's most creative builder of cinema worlds，but there's still a difference between her and a mega-corporation like Disney．Every character and beast is there because Rowling said so，not because the marketing division thought it wouldpromote sales of merchandise．Rowling clearly has a true passion to create a mythology，and just as clearly，she hasn't yet finished creating it．The "Fantastic Beasts" series offers a world even fuller than that of Harry Potter．Once more she collaborates with David Yates，who directed the last four Harry Potter movies and now the two "Fantastic Beasts" pictures．Still，the world she's created would be even more wondrous if Rowling had only filled it out with a crystallized or at least coherent plot．In the Harry Potter series，she mostly succeeded in making the films into independent works．But without experienced screenwriters to mediate between her imagination and the screen，the two "Fantastic Beasts" episodes are more like a chess game in which the creator moves characters from A to B as part of a broader strategy---which remains unclear．"Fantastic Beasts：The Crimes of Grindelwald" is a film made for existing fans and doesn't bother to appeal to a new audience．Not by chance does it offer a more mature world for fans who have grown up at least as much as Daniel Radcliffe．For them，the movie delivers the goods，but little of the magic remains．If Rowling continues to put out films without a beginning and an end，her world will collapse，leaving only the middle．It may be entertainment with captivating characters and effects，but it's not a movie．25.What changes has J．K．Rowling made in her writing career？______A. She was forced to abandon her original writing career and start a new one．B. She was determined to skip the bookstores and publish books on her own．C. She started a new fantasy book having nothing to do with the Harry Potter series．D. She tried to enrich the Harry Potter series as a screenwriter rather than a novelist．26.Who are probably the target audience of the "Fantastic Beasts" series？______A. Kids newly introduced to magic．B. Teenage students with grand dreams．C. Adults going through life changes．D. Professional critics of fantasy books．27.What are the features of the "Fantastic Beasts" series？______A. Complex story and exciting characters．B. Simple story but abundant characters．C. Childish story and strange characters．D. Sad story but inspiring characters．28.Big corporations like Disney choose movie characters and beasts based on ______ ．A. potential profitability of the moviesB. preference of their screenwritersC. consultation with the original authorD. investigation into successful films29.How does the author explain Rowling's failure to create a clear plot？______A. By describing shooting processes．B. By listing official statistics．C. By drawing a comparison．D. By citing examples．30.What does the author think of J．K．Rowling's performance as a screenwriter？______A. It is really a disappointment for movie goers．B. It is widely acknowledged by her book fans．C. There exits much more magic in her screenplay．D. There is still much room for improvement．三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共20.0分）I first started writing in the summer of 1998．Back then I was a teacher．After years of dreaming，I decided it was finally time to write a book．For 10 years I wrote，(31) four middle-grade novels and six pictures books almost only to editors．This was(32) in thesnail-mail age．Remember the (33) you experienced as a child waiting for birthday presents to arrive in the mail？That was me for the better part of a decade．In Spring 2009，at the last minute，I decided to hand in a middle-grade historicalnovel-in-verse to a(34) at a local writing conference．I knew in my heart that it wasmy(35)work，but I wasn't sure how it would be(36)alongside pieces meant for the adult market．But then ----I won．My prize (37) a one-on-one interview with an editor who，after (38)my manuscript，asked，"Why don't you have a（n）(39) yet？"Not long after that，I(40)with my first agent．Then in 2013，after parting with my first agent，I was again faced with the(41) for representation．This time I submitted to three agencies and got two (42)．Over the span of 20 years，I've got 18 completed manuscripts and was(43) almost 350 times．It took me 14 years to see my first book(44)the shelf．You could look at these numbers and get pretty(45)．I can look at these numbers and feel the same ．I know plenty of people with a (46) apprenticeship（学徒期）．I have friends who have been more(47)．All sorts of authors I (48) with in 2012 have published far more than I have．But here's the (49) thing I've learned in the last 20 years：My process is mine．My journey is mine．Each book finds its way on its own．The writing life is a long-term journey．There is no right way．There is no (50) fix．There is no easy road．There is a lot of frustration and disappointment，but there is joy and satisfaction，too．31.

emotional intelligence because they either don't know where to focus their efforts or they haven't understood how to improve these skills on a practical level．In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders，we have found that if you're looking to develop particular EI strengths，it helps toconsider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve----and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually．The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception （how you see yourself）differs from your reputation （how others see you）．This is especially true for the development of emotional intelligence because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions．For example，most of us think that we're good listeners，but very often that's really not the case．Without this external reality check，it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance．Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do so．To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation，you should use a 360-drgree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple facets of EI．The key is to find one that guarantees confidentiality to those giving you feedback and that is focused on development and not on performance assessment．Secondly，when you get your feedback from an assessment，let that inform what you want to improve．But also consider what your goals are．When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence，you're at a huge disadvantage if you're only interested because others said you should be．Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in hour sense of self that being intrinsically（内在的）motivated to make the effort matters more when changing longstanding habits than it does when simply learning a skill ．That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the intersection of the feedback you've gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations （渴望）．Understanding the impacts of your current EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over the long haul as you do the work of strengthening your emotional intelligence．Once you've determined which EI skills you want to focus on，identify specific actions that you'll take．If you're working on becoming a better listener，for example，you might decide that when you're conversing with someone you'll take the time to pause，listen to what they have to say，and check that you understand before you reply．Keep it specific．You should also take every naturally occurring opportunity to practice the skill you're developing，no matter how small．By starting to change your routine reactions，you'll be well on your way to figuring out the old habits that aren't serving you well and transforming them into new，improved ones that do．PassageoutlineSupporting detailsIntroduction Though globally acknowledged，EI still (1) professionals，for they aren't aware of how to improve

2020年盐城中学高三英语第一次联考试题及参考答案
2020年盐城中学高三英语第一次联考试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ANothing beats live music, but the venue makes a difference. When you're able to score tickets to an incredible concert in an incredible place, you won't forget the experience. Here are some of the coolest music venues from around the world. If you haven't been to any of these, you've got some traveling to do.Red Rocks, Morrison, the United StatesRed Rocks might be the most beautiful and famous venue in the United States. At 6,450 feet above sea level, Red Rocks is a geologically formed natural stage. Its massive sandstone provides a perfect stage for jam bands. If you're into the blues and jazz, you'll have no trouble finding something in line with your interests.Meet Factory, Prague, Czech RepublicSmallest venues on this list, Meet Factory is an art gallery, theater, and music venue. The venue only accommodates 1,000 people, so you won't see any huge names come through. Still, it's a great place to see up-and-coming local acts, and if you've got an eye for contemporary art, you'll love your time here.Arena of NÎmes, NÎmes, FranceOriginally built around A. D. 70, the Arena of Nimes presents concertgoers with an interesting question: Should they enjoy the music, or marvel at the architecture? The Arena is, after all, one of the world's best-preserved Roman theaters. Many major touring acts plan stops at the Arena of Nimes, especially during the venue's annual festival.Sydney Opera House, Sydney, AustraliaThe Sydney Opera House is one of the world's most famous performing venues. I's also one of the most distinctive buildings in Sydney, thanks to the breathtaking design by Danish architect Utzon. It hosts about 40 events per week, so whether you're into jazz, rock, classical music, or opera, you'll find something to watch.1.Where can you enjoy music in natural beauty?A.At Red Rocks.B.At Meet Factory.C.At Arena of Nimes.D.At Sydney Opera House.2.What is special about Meet Factory?A.It enjoys breathtaking scenery.B.It hosts both musical and artistic events.C.It is the largest venue of all.D.It is famous for contemporary music.3.What do the listed music venues have in common?A.They have a long history.B.They are built near the sea.C.They accommodate thousands of people.D.They are beautiful tourist attractions.BI cried the first time I saw the Notre Dame（巴黎圣母院）years ago. I'd waited my entire life to see this great French architecture, and experienced it in its full glory on a bright sunny day. Last night, I again cried for the centuries-old church while watching it burn.I hadn't expected to spend my evening that way. My friend and I were having dinner at a cafe a block or so away from the Notre Dame, choosing to skip going inside with the intention to go back the next day.However, we heard that it caught fire, so we left the cafe and ran towards the church, following heavy smoke from it, and soon we joined a nearly silent crowd. Some were praying, some were crying, but most were staring in disbelief at the disaster happening before us. The fire continued to get worse. About 400 firefighters were working to control the fire. We could see their flashlights shining as they inspected the front from a balcony.The Notre Dame is part of the heartbeat ofParis, I reflected on the experiences I've had there, from attending a bread market out front to admiring the beautiful windows and architecture inside. It is a spot that helps makeParismagical. And here we were, watching it burn down. It was too much to handle, but it was impossible to look away.About 9：30 pm, the gathered crowd spontaneously（自发地）began to sing Hymns（圣歌）to the church. We sang along with the group, feeling at once less like tourists and more like members of them. I hadn't imagined all that before.For hundreds of years, the Notre Dame hasseen the most joyous and the most terrible moments in the lives of both France and her people. And when everyone was able to become one emotional force, it showed that even in her darkest hour, the Notre Dame was still there to bring us all together.4. Why did the author cry for the Notre Dame for the first time?A. She was touched by its greatness.B. She was sorrowful to watch it burn.C. She was regretful for missing its glory.D. She was excited about French cultures.5. What was the author doing when the Notre Dame caught fire?A. Heading for a faraway cafe.B. Visiting a church with a friend.C. Eating nearby with a friend.D. Wandering along the street alone.6. What can we know about the fire scene?A. People expressed their sadness in different ways.B. People were nervously rushing in different directions.C. Hundreds of volunteers joined in putting out the fire.D. Firefighters kept people away with shining flashlights.7. What impressed the author most?A. The church allowed visitors to gaingreat experiences.B. Many foreign tourists became members of the church.C. The church survived disasters for hundreds of years.D. People were brought together to sing to the church.CAbout a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views ofmany people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.8. Why did Lori make the call?A. She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.B. She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.C. She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.D. She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.9. What impressed “I” by Lori?A. Lori was good at running recruiting.B. Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs.C. Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.D. Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.10. What can we infer from the passage?A. Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.B. None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.C. Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.D. A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.11. What is the best title of the passage?A. It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder.B. Facebook’s Biggest Problem.C. Applying for a Job in Facebook.D. A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.DAs I work in theLarkwhistle Garden in Dyer's Bay, Ontario, I take my time and the garden is teaching me about working with the earth. I recognize that there will be both successes and failures and there are many variables(变量)that affect them both.The quality of the seeds planted has a bearing on how the plants will grow. The weather can be too hot, too cold, or exactly right, and usually varies between all three. Weeds seem to grow in the garden and need to be taken care of, pulled, and removed to ensure they do not eat into the fruits, vegetables, and flowers we have so lovingly planted.I take time to stand back and rest, and to observe the plants and how they are growing. Each plant is unique and develops in the way that is best for them. Some have large broad leaves to shadow their fruit from the severe rays of the sun, while other plants are more open, their fruit needing the light to grow and ripen.Getting my hands dirty, feeling the sweat on my forehead, and the strength and flexibility of my body as I dig, bend and work under the warm summer sun, reminds me I am alive in ways I would not have remembered sitting on the couch.It is attractive to move things around, to transplant, and to disturb the natural order of how plants grow. The garden teaches me that it is important to know when to disturb things and when to let them be. The garden's life cycle follows a pattern that is repeated according to laws of nature, birth, growth, and then dies and it teaches us to accept this fact.12. How many variables may affect the growth of plants in the garden?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.13. What can we learn about the author?A. He feels exhausted while gardening.B. He enjoys life from working practice.C. He takes pleasure in harvesting fruits.D. He dreams away his time in the garden.14. How is the garden tended by the author?A. Its rank grass is got rid of.B. Its plants are left to grow freely.C. Its temperature is controlled properly.D. Its plants with large broad leaves are cut off.15. What fact does the author learn from gardening?A. Life takes its course.B. Hard work benefits health.C. Time is short and precious.D. Gardening brings good harvest.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020年江苏省盐城中学高三英语第一次联考试卷及答案
2020年江苏省盐城中学高三英语第一次联考试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AA 21-year-old female student has become the youngest womanever to be elected as Mayor (市长) after first entering politics to campaign about food.Labor Party (工党) member Rosie Corrigan was elected as Mayor of Selby a market town in North Yorkshire, on Monday. The student’s election was unchallenged to the mayoralty, following a year serving as deputy mayor. Corrigan has just finished her second year studying politics at theUniversityofHull. A political activist since secondary school, lifelong Selby citizen Corrigan has always been ambitious. As a member of the UK Youth Parliament, she co-founded the Selby Youth council, and then went on to run for and win the local council election as a Labour candidate (候选人) aged just 18.Corrigan plan to use her year in office to further encourage political awareness in the youth of Selby. By breaking a political record of being the youngest woman ever elected inUKhistory, Corrigan hopes this will break the misunderstanding of Selby being a sleepy town with old-fashioned views. “It’s an honor to be the Mayor of my lovely hometown,” Corrigan told a newspaper. “I plan on using the year to encourage children and young people to champion their communities.”The politics student’s election has been supported whole heartedly by the politicians she has worked with throughout her early-developing career, including thebackingof former deputy Prime Minister (副首相) John Prescott. Simon Darvill said in an interview, “I hope that the success of Rosie and others like her encourages more young people to get involved in politics and change where they live for the better.”1. Which statement is true according to Paragraph 2?A. Corrigan is new to the political scene of Selby.B. Corrigan became interested in politics in childhood.C. Corrigan has been living in Selby since she was born.D. Corrigan founded the Selby Youth council by herself.2. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A. Corrigan plans to further her time in office by at least a year.B. The people of Selby are passive and have out-of-date views.C. Corrigan is the youngest person ever elected inUKhistory.D. Corrigan intends to increase Selby’s youth’spolitical involvement.3. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “backing” in Paragraph 4?A. ApprovalB. AppreciationC. PraiseD. SupportBChimps use loud calls and gestures to make their feelings known but until now, the exact meaning for individual movements has remained a mystery. Now researchers believe they have translated the key gestures used in the chimp community and identified their intentions for the first time.From 4,351 gestures, experts were able to identify 66 that are used for 19 specific message meanings, including showing a foot to tell a child they can climb on their back. The researchers were able to narrow down these 66 gestures to 36 that are used intentionally to achieve 15 purposes. The translations were made by Dr Catherine Hobaiter and her colleagues at St Andrews University in Scotland.Dr Hobaiter used behavior sampling and filmed all recorded cases of gestural communication. Other gestures include stomping their feet to ask another chimp to stop what they are doing, and slapping objects together to ask another to follow them. Of the 19 meanings,17 encouraged interactions to start, or to develop, such as “move closer,” and “change play”. Some of the gestures were found to have more than one meaning. and only 10 of the 66 gestures were used for only a single meaning.Researchers collected a total of 471 video clips from two social groups of chimps at a shelter near Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. As well as identifying what the gesture means, they also discovered the technique needed to increase the chances of success.“Human children use gestures to communicate before they produce their first words, and their earliest gestures typically appear around 10 months of age,” explained the researchers. “In great apes, there is good evidence that language-trained individuals are capable of acquiring and understanding signals, but this is far less clear in their natural communication. ”4. Chimps slap the objects to____________.A. tell others to stop what they are doingB. ask others chimps to join themC. gather other chimps to move closerD. encourage interactions to start5. What did researchers find after studying 471 video clips?A. Chimps trained in language are good at understanding signals.B. Two social groups of chimps live at a shelter near Kinshasa.C. Language-trained individuals do well in natural communication.D. Chimps’earliest gestures appear around 10 months of age.6. How is the last paragraph developed?A. By analyzing causes.B. By examining differences.C By making comparisons. D. By following time order.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A A New Research on Chimps B. Human Children and ChimpsC. Getting the Chimps Trained for LanguageD. Translating the Sign Language of ChimpsCAs is commonly known,Antarcticais an icy continent with extreme environment. However, a new study provides evidence that the area had a rainforest in the past.The researchers collected a piece of Earth sediment from under the seafloor off the coast ofAntarctica. In the sediment, they discovered forest material that was estimated to be about 90 million years old. At that period, dinosaurs were the ruler animals of the land.Johann Klages, a German geologist, was the lead writer of a study on the findings, published in the journalNature. He said the sediment was collected from a depth of about 30 meters below the ocean floor. Klages said an examination showed that the material didn’t form in the ocean.The researchers estimate that the area — about 900 kilometers from the South Pole — had average yearly temperatures of about12°Cto13°C. The soil included fine dirt particles and hard clay, as well as substances linked to at least 65 different kinds of plants, the study found. Although no animal remains were found, Klages said there were likely dinosaurs, flying reptiles and many insects in the environment.The research represents new evidence of the major climate changes Earth experienced in the past — and is currently undergoing today. The soil in the sediment dates back to the planet’s warmest period of the past 140 million years, with sea level about 170 meters higher than today. The researchers said that the rainforest environment inAntarcticawas especially surprising because each year, the area experiences a four-month polar night when there is no sunlight to fuel plant life. Klages said no ice sheets were present during the time, but seasonal snowfall was likely.8. What can we learn about the sediment collected?A. It formed in the age of dinosaurs.B. It was found on theAntarcticaland.C. Ancient forest material was found in it.D. Some dinosaur remains were found in it.9. How did the researchers reach their findings?A. By analyzing the Earth sediment.B. By exploring ice inAntarctica.C. By collecting data on climate.D. By researching special plants.10. What can be indicated in the last paragraph?A. Seasonal snowfall made the forest disappear.B. Antarctica was much colder 140 million years ago.C. Antarctica’s natural environment has changed greatly.D. Polar nights inAntarcticaare getting shorter than before.11. What is the main idea of the text?A. Rainforest disappeared fromAntarctica.B. Antarctica had a different history of climate.C. Researchers studied a piece of Earth sediment ofAntarctica.D.Antarcticahad an extreme environment containing ice and snow.DJapan is known to have higher than average rates of stomach cancer. Recently, the town of Kaneyama in Yamagata Prefecture decided to get its 6, 000 residents (居民) tested.However, the frozen urine samples (尿样) are not tested in conventional ways. Instead, Professor Masao Miyashita and his team are using them in a trial to determine if specially trained cancer-sniffing dogs can accurately detect the disease. Though the study is still in its early stages, Miyashita is thrilled with the results. He said, “In our research so far, cancer detection dogs have been able to find signs of cancer with an accuracy of nearly 100 percent.”Researchers have known about the animals’ superior sensory skills for decades. However, their ability to detect cancer in humans came to light in 1989, after a dog sniffed out early-stage malignant melanoma (恶性黑色素瘤) on a patient’s leg in London. Since then, scientists from many countries have conducted studies to test dogs’ great skill at identifying cancer chemicals.While most dogs can be trained for the task researchers say the best candidates are dogs that are precise, quiet, and perhaps even a little shy. The training process is similar to how dogs are taught to learn any trick — by rewarding them with treats! However, it takes much longer because the dogs have to learn to separate the “cancer scent (气味)”from the thousands of organic compounds (有机化合物) in the human body. Researchers begin byexposing the dogs to urine samples from people with cancer, people with other diseases, and patients with no health issues, Once the dogs are able to accurately identify cancer, they are further trained to detect particular kinds of cancer.Successful as they may be, experts think dogs are unlikely to replace conventional tests. For one, it takes about seven years and costs as much as $45,000 to train a single dog. Klaus Hackner, a researcher and physician who studies dogs detecting cancer in breath samples at Krems University Hospital in Austria, is also not convinced dogs can be relied upon alone. Patients, therefore, have to receive further tests to confirm if they have the disease.12. What do we know about the cancer-sniffing dogs mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. They have done a great job.B. They are trained in a special way.C. They can easily learn to distinguish cancer.D. They can be seen in many Japanese hospitals.13. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?A. Offer readers some advice.B. Add some background information.C. Summarize the previous paragraphs.D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.14. What kind of dog is suitable for the cancer-sniffing job?A. Smart and brave.B. Active and faithful.C. Strong and patient.D. Careful and peaceful.15. What is Klaus Hackner’s opinion on cancer-sniffing dogs?A. They should work as a team.B. They need to receive more training.C. They can replace doctors in detecting cancer.D. They should be used together with traditional tests.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
