　　Most people report that they do not usually feel confident. But exciting things can happen when we actually believe in ourselves. Here is a man who believed in his own ability even as a boy, and that confidence helped shape his adult life.

　　At the turn of the last century, a young boy quit school to help with the family expenses. When he was fifteen, he became interested in automobiles(汽车) and worked in a garage. He subscribed to a correspondence home study course on automobiles and, after a long day in the garage, studied at the kitchen table by lamplight.

　　When he felt ready, he walked into the Frayer-Miller Automobile Company of Columbus, Ohio. When Mr. Frayer noticed him, he asked, “Well, what do you want?”

　　“I just thought I’d tell you I’m coming to work here tomorrow morning,” the boy replied.

　　“Oh! Who hired you?”

　　“Nobody yet, but I’ll be on the job in the morning. If I’m not worth anything, you can fire me.”

　　Early the next morning the young man returned to the plant. Noticing the floor was thick with metal shavings and accumulated dirt, the boy got a broom and set out to clean the place.

　　Because of his self-confidence and work ethic, the boy’s future was predictable. He went on to stand out in many fields, including automobile racing, piloting World War I planes and founding what was to become one of America’s largest airline companies — Eastern Airlines.

　　People who become more confident habitually encourage themselves. Without confidence, we are not likely to move far in the direction of our dreams. But become our own best friend and almost anything will be possible. It is important that we always believe in ourselves. In order to reach victory, we must believe in ourselves even when we make mistakes and fall short.

　　24. How did the boy learn knowledge concerning automobiles?

　　A. He attended school in the daytime.

　　B. He studied hard at home.

　　C. He read books in the garage where he worked.

　　D. He turned to some instructors for help.

　　25. We can learn from the boy’s words that _________.

　　A. he believed in himself B. he looked down upon others

　　C. he was very generous D. he wanted to show off his competence

　　26. Due to his efforts and confidence, the man _____.

　　A. made World War I planes B. learned much knowledge in a garage

　　C. achieved everything in his life D. set up the Eastern Airlines

　　27. What is the purpose of the passage?

　　A. To inspire us with self-confidence.

　　B. To tell us an interesting story.

　　C. To inspire us to work hard.

　　D. To stress the importance of realizing our dream

　　阅读理解B篇：

　　24.B。细节理解题。根据第二段“worked in a garage”、“home study course”和“studied at the kitchen table by lamplight”可知B正确，A选项“attended school in the daytime”意为“在白天上学”，C选项“read books in the garage”意为“在车库读书”，D选项“turned to some instructors for help”意为“向导师寻求帮助”，均不符合文意，故排除A，C，D。

　　25.A。推理判断题。根据第四段小男孩说的话“I’m coming to work here tomorrow morning.”和第六段“Nobody yet, but I’ll be on the job in the morning. If I’m not worth anything, you can fire me”可推知这小男孩认为自己能够胜任工作，即使是在没被人确定雇佣的情况下也带着信心和勇气准备第二天开始工作，故选A。选项B中的“looked down upon others(看不起别人)”，选项C中的“generous(慷慨大方的)”以及选项D中的“show off his competence(炫耀他的能力)”在原文没有提及，故排除B，C，D。

　　26.D。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段 “Because of his self-confidence and work ethic”和“founding(创办) what was to become one of America’s largest airline companies — Eastern Airlines”可知选项D“set up the Eastern Airlines”正确。A选项“made World War I planes”与原文“piloting(驾驶)”不符，B选项原文未提及，C选项“achieved everything”中的“everything”过于绝对，故排除A，B，C。

　　27.A。写作目的题。由全文内容可知，文章主要通过讲述一个自信的小男孩最终颇有成就的故事点出自信这一主题，并在最后一段如这句话“It is important that we always believe in ourselves.”鼓励人们要相信自己，故选A。

　　C

　　People who are obese(肥胖) have a worse memory than their thinner friends, a small study shows.

　　Tests on 50 people showed that being overweight was linked to worse “episodic memory” or the ability to remember past experiences.

　　The study in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology argues that a less vivid memory of recent meals may lead to overeating. However, other aspects of memory — such as general knowledge — show no signs.

　　Tests on rats have previously shown that with burgeoning waistlines come poorer performances in memory tests, but the evidence in humans has been mixed.

　　Fifty people with a Body Mass Index (BMI) ranging from 18 (healthy) to 51 (very obese) took part in a memory test — a bit like doing a treasure hunt on your own. They had to “hide” objects at different times and on different scenes displayed on a computer screen. They were later asked to recall what they had hidden, when and where. The results showed obese people’s scores were 15% lower than thinner people.

　　Dr. Lucy Cheke, from the University of Cambridge, told the BBC News website, “The suggestion we’re making is that a higher BMI is having some reduction on the vividness of memory, but they’re not drawing blanks and having amnesia(失忆症). As a matter of fact, if they have a less strong memory of a recent meal, with a less strong impact in the mind, then they may have less ability to regulate how much they eat later on.” Hunger hormones(激素) play a huge role in how much we eat, but it has already been recognized that our minds have a key role too.

　　Dr. Cheke concluded, “It is too early to talk in terms of advice, but we are certainly beginning to observe how obesity causes itself to continue.”

　　28. What does the underlined word “burgeoning” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

　　A. Changing. B. Declining. C. Swinging. D. Increasing.

　　29. Which of the following is TRUE about the experiment?

　　A. The researchers compare the performances of people with various BMIs.

　　B. Fifty subjects are required to seek for objects hidden by the researchers.

　　C. All aspects of memory will be influenced by obesity.

　　D. The number of rats tested is the same as that of people.

　　30. Dr. Lucy Cheke’s words indicate that _______.

　　A. it’s high time that they provided suggestions on dealing with obesity

　　B. it’s our minds rather than hunger hormones that play an important role

　　C. having a higher BMI has a negative influence on memory to some extent

　　D. if suffering from weak memory, people cannot regulate behaviors

　　31. Where does this text probably come from?

　　A. An entertainment magazine. B. A science report.

　　C. An advertisement. D. Science fiction.

　　阅读理解C篇：

　　28.D。词义猜测题。由文章内容和文章前四段可知，肥胖与记忆力差有关联。D选项代入原文句子“with increasing waistlines come poorer performances in memory tests”意为“记忆测试中较差的表现伴随着腰围的日益增长”，故选D。

　　29.A。根据第五段中“Fifty people with a Body Mass Index (BMI) ranging from 18 (healthy) to 51 (very obese) took part in a memory test”和第五段最后一句点明结果“The results showed obese people’s scores were 15% lower than thinner people.”可知，A选项“compare the performances of people with various BMIs(对比具有不同体重指数的人的表现)”正确。根据第五段“They had to ‘hide’ objects”和“recall what they had hidden”可知，B选项 “hidden by the researchers”与原文不符，故排除选项B ;根据第三段“other aspects of memory — such as general knowledge — show no signs(没有迹象)”可知，C选项 “All aspects of memory will be influenced by obesity”与原文不符，故排除选项C ;根据第四段可知，原文未提及被测试的rats的数量，故排除D。

　　30.C。推理判断题。根据第六段“a higher BMI is having some reduction(降低) on the vividness of memory”可推知，C选项“having a higher BIM has a negative influence(负面影响/消极影响) on memory to some extent”正确，故选C。选项A中的“it’s high time that they provided suggestions on dealing with obesity(他们是时候为解决肥胖问题提出建议了)”与原文最后一段“too early to talk in terms of advice”不符，故排除A。选项B中的“it’s our minds rather than(而不是)hunger hormones that play an important role”与原文第六段最后一句“Hunger hormones(激素) play a huge role, but it has already been recognized that our minds have a key role too.”不符，故排除B。选项D中的“cannot regulate behaviors”太过绝对，与原文第六段“have less ability to regulate how much they eat later on”不符，故排除D。

　　31.B。推理判断题。此题推断文章出处，由全文内容以及文中出现的“study”，“result”，“test”和“conclude”可知，本文是研究人员通过实验测试来得出结论，故选B“A science report(科学报道)”。A选项“An entertainment magazine”意为“娱乐杂志”， C选项“An advertisement”意为“广告”，D选项“Science fiction”意为“科幻小说”，均不符合文意，故排除A，C，D。

　　D

　　Educators across the U.S. are calling for major changes to the admission process in higher education.

　　The National Center for Educational Statistics (or NCES) reported that U.S. colleges and universities received more than 9 million applications between 2013 and 2014 and admitted more than 5 million students. But the problem is not in the number of students, a new report says. The report is called “Turning the Tide — Making Caring Common.”

　　The report argues that the process schools use to choose students causes major problems. David Hawkins is the Executive Director for Educational Content and Policy. He says that most colleges and universities require many things from students when they apply.

　　Schools usually require an essay describing a student’s interests or why they want to study at that school. The schools also ask for letters from teachers describing why a student is a good candidate. But, Hawkins says, schools are most concerned with a student’s high school grades and standardized test results.

　　The Education Conservancy is an organization that fights to make higher education equal and available. Lloyd Thacker is the Executive Director of the Education Conservancy, saying that the college admission process has changed a lot.

　　“Over the past 30 years, college admissions have become more complex.” He says that ranking systems for colleges and universities are a big part of the problem.

　　U.S. News and World Report is a media company that creates a list of what it calls “America’s Best Colleges.” The company bases the list on information collected from colleges and universities across the country. This information includes results of standardized tests like the SAT from all of a school’s students. Higher average test results help put schools higher on the list.

　　Thacker claims, “Too many students are learning to do whatever it takes in order to get ahead, even if that means sacrificing their own individuality, their health, their happiness and behavior...”

　　“The impact on students and on parents is that college is all about where you go. The rank has nothing to do with the quality of education that goes on at the college.”

　　The Harvard report states that the best way to change the admission process is by changing college applications.

　　32. When choosing students, colleges and universities attach greatest importance to _______.

　　A. their personal interest

　　B. their academic performance

　　C. their teachers’ opinion

　　D. their reasons for application

　　33. The media company ranks the schools on the basis of_______.

　　A. peoples’ attitude towards the schools

　　B. employment rate of its graduates

　　C. the schools’ teaching quality

　　D. information like test results

　　34. Which of the following does Lloyd Thacker probably agree with?

　　A. Colleges are supposed to admit more and more students.

　　B. It is necessary to apply for a proper university by referring to the rank.

　　C. There is little relationship between colleges’ rank and the quality of education.

　　D. The better the applicants’ grades are, the more likely they will be admitted.

　　35. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

　　A. Higher Rankings Matter a Great Deal.

　　B. Colleges Look to Change Admission Process.

　　C. Colleges’ Admission Process Makes a Difference.

　　D. Testing Results Determine Students’ Fate.

　　阅读理解D篇：

　　32.B。细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“schools are most concerned with(最关心)a student’s high school grades and standardized test results.”可知，选项B“their academic performance(学业成绩)”正确。

　　33.D。细节理解题。根据第七段中“bases the list on information”和“This information includes results of standardized tests like the SAT”可知，选项D“information like test results(类似测试结果的信息)”正确。A选项“peoples’ attitude towards the schools”意为“人们对学校持有的态度”，B选项“employment rate of its graduates”意为“毕业生的就业率”，C选项“the schools’ teaching quality”意为“学校的教学质量”，均不符合文意，故排除A，B，C。

　　34.C。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The rank has nothing to do with(与…毫无关系) the quality of education that goes on at the college.”可推知，C选项“There is little relationship between colleges’ rank and the quality of education.”正确，故选C。选项A中的“Colleges are supposed to admit(应该录取) more and more students”与原文不符，故排除A。选项B中的“It is necessary to apply for a proper university by referring to(参考) the rank.”与原文倒数第二和倒数第三段Thacker持有的观点不符，故排除B。选项D中的“The better the applicants’ grades are, the more likely they will be admitted.”意为“申请者的成绩越好，他们越有可能被学校录取”是学校的做法，而根据原文第五段讲到Thacker所在的组织“fights to make higher education equal and available”，故选项D不符合题意，故排除D。

　　35.B。主旨大意题。根据文章的描述，美国高等教育的招生过程中存在问题，教育工作者呼吁对此进行改变。故选项B“Colleges Look to Change Admission Process”正确。A选项“Higher Rankings Matter a Great Deal” 主题词为“更高的排名”，不符合文意，故排除A;C选项“Colleges’ Admission Process Makes a Difference”意为“大学的招生过程有影响力”，偏离文章讨论的中心，故排除C;D选项“Testing Results Determine Students’ Fate.”意为“测试结果决定学生的命运”，不符合文意，故排除D。

　　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。

　　Procrastination (拖延症) is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer from it. 36 . They only stare into space, eat snacks, surf the Internet, watch videos and look at their pretty peers sitting around them who, most likely, are doing nothing either.

　　According to a recent report by the BBC, 95 percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20 percent of the world’s population are chronic procrastinators, complicating their lives with their constant delaying of tasks.

　　The figures are discouraging. 37 . Just look at Hamlet, who is perhaps the world’s most famous procrastinator. And his indecision leads to tragedy (悲剧) in the biggest way.

　　Procrastinators like to find excuses to justify their behavior, but BBC columnist Rowan Pelling says they are all wrong. 38 . Pelling says this is nonsense, as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time. She says the behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel nervous and ashamed, inconveniences others, and annoys loved ones. Pelling also points out that procrastination is particularly shameful in a society that views swift action as praiseworthy, and, at times, even as morally good.

　　39 . Piers Steel, a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastination Equation, believes humankind is “designed ” to procrastinate. Nevertheless, he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand. 40 . Break the task down into small pieces and work your way through them methodically. The second is ingenious. Give a trusted friend a sum of money and tell them that if you don’t complete the task you have undertaken by a specific time, they can keep it or donate it to a cause you hate.

　　A. The first one is obvious

　　B. But this does nothing to break the spell

　　C. They could spend whole days in the library doing nothing useful

　　D. Procrastinators are less wealthy, less healthy and less happy than those who don’t delay

　　E. Many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure

　　F. Fortunately, social scientists have thrown their weight behind efforts to understand this behavioral weakness and offer strategies to control it

　　G. Paralyzed by their habit to procrastinate, they write microblogs about their fears, asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue

　　36—40.CDEFA

　　36.C。 选项的they指代上句的students; 选项中的doing nothing useful对应后面的stare into space, eat snacks, surf the Internet……等，并在第一段末复现了doing nothing。

　　37.D。 哈姆雷特(莎士比亚悲剧剧名及该剧的主人公)例子中的tragedy对应了选项中的less happy。

　　38.E。由后面的Pelling says this is nonsense, as work done at the last minute is more likely

　　to have mistakes than work done on time 可知。

　　39.F。 由后面的believes humankind is“designed”to procrastinate可知。

　　40.A。 由后面的The second is ingenious 可知。
