December 15, 2014
Dear Alfred,
I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.
Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150+ at 17, I’m anything
but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD（注意力缺陷多动障碍）. Anxious all the time, I
was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.
However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became
curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of
Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.
While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high
school, but couldn’t. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online
computer courses of your training center.
Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m
learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your
video. This has given me a purpose.
Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public, I could work
alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job-Data Analyst-this month and have been
going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to
college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.
Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about
myself because I’m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.
第3页（共23页）
This is why you’re saving my life.
Yours,
Tanis

C. She preferred taking online courses.
D. She was too slow to learn.
57. AS for the working environment, Tanis prefers .
A. working by herself
B. dealing with the public

Surviving Hurricane Sandy（飓风桑迪）
Natalie Doan, 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks
from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes
Rockaway so special,” she says.
On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast,
and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before
the city’s bridge closed.
When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of
Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering,
especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in
Brooklyn.
In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie.
Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to
helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly
people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.
“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose
how I deal with it.”
Natalie’s choice was to help.
She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie
posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house
burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.
In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new
basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-
need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the
White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.
Today, the scars（创痕）of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets
are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie
declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”
59. When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found .
A. some friends had lost their lives
B. her neighborhood was destroyed
C. her school had moved to Brooklyn
D. the elderly were free from suffering
60. According to paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most?
A. The people helping Rockaway rebuild.
B. The people trapped in high-rise building.
C. The volunteers donating money to survivors.
D. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people.
61. How did Natalie help the survivors?
A. She gave her toys to the kids.
第4页（共23页）
B. She took care of younger children.
C. She called on the White House to help.
D. She built an information sharing platform.
62. What does the story intend to tell us?
A. Little people can make a big difference.
B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. East or West, home is best.
D. Technology is power.

California Condor’s Shocking Recovery
California condors are North America’s largest birds, with wind-length of up to 3 meters. In
the1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning(铅中毒) nearly drove them to dying out. Now, electric shock
training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds.
In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild, and there are now more than 150
flying over California and nearby Arizona, Utah and Baja in Mexico.
Electrical lines have been killing them off. “As they go in to rest for the night, they just don’t see the
power lines,” says Bruce Ride out of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge the gap between lines,
resulting in electrocution9 电死) if they touch two lines at once.
So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, placed in large training areas, teach the
birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock. Before the
training was introduced, 66% of set-freed condors died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%.
Lead poisonous has proved more difficult to deal with. When condors eat dead bodies of other
animals containing lead, they absorb large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous systems and ability
to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney（肾）failures and death. So condors with high levels of lead
are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are treated with calcium EDTA, a chemical that removes lead
from the blood over several days. This work is starting to pay off. The annual death rate for adult condors
has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011.
Rideout’s team thinks that the California condors’ average survival time in the wild is now just under
eight years. “Although these measures are not effective forever, they are vital for now,” he says. “They are
truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them.”
63.California condors attract researchers’ interest because they .
A. are active at night B. had to be bred in the wild
C. are found on in California D. almost died out in the 1980s
64. Researchers have found electrical lines are .
A. blocking condors’ journey home B. big killers of California condors
C. rest places for condors at night D. used to keep condors away
65. According to Paragraph 5, lead poisoning .
A. makes condors too nervous to fly
B. has little effect on condors’ kidneys
C. can hardly be gotten rid of form condors’ blood
D. makes it different for condors to produce baby birds
66. The passage shows that .
A. the average survival time of condors is satisfactory
B. Rideout’s research interest lies in electric engineering
C. the efforts to protect condors have brought good results
D. researchers have found the final answers to the problem.
D
Why College Is Not Home
The college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy（自主性）and the
development of adult identity. However, now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence,
during which many of today’s students and are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.
第5页（共23页）
For previous generations, college was decisive break from parental control; guidance and support
needed help from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, however, continued
connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cell phones, email and social media, have increased
significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college
as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, universities have given in
to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.
To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and
experimentation. This process involves “trying on” new ways of thinking about oneself bother
intellectually（在思维方面）and personally. While we should provide “safe spaces” within colleges, we
must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and
flexibility are fostered on debate and questioning.
Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college
community（群体）differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If
students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are not facing
the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.
Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against
another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controlled by their elders. If acceptable social
behavior is too strictly defined ( 规定) and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior that
administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.
It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out, particularly when there are reasons to do
so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency. What is lacking
today is the conflict between adolescent’s desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world.
Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience
intellectual growth.
Every college discussion about community values, social climate and behavior should include
recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation, of the necessary
tension between safety and self-discovery.
67. What’s the author’s attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students?
A. Sympathetic B. Disapproving C. Supportive D. Neutral
68. The underlined word “passage” in Paragraph 2 means .
A. change B. choice
C. text D. extension
69. According to the author, what role should college play?
A. To develop a shared identity among students.
B. To define and regulate students’ social behavior.
C. To provide a safe world without tension for students.
D. To foster students’ intellectual and personal development.
70. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Science of Risk-Seeking
Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and
the reward, the risk seems worth tasking.
71
Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise
and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were
better at hunting, fighting, or exploring.
72
As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from on
ration to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
第6页（共23页）
So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-
taking could get one Killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a
result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing,
or maybe you hate it.
73
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your Willingness to take risks
increases during your teenage years.
74
To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for
new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for
risk as well.
Mean taking some risks, so your brain raisers your tolerance for risk as well.
75
For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the
rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the
waves or the shallow end of the pool.
A. It all depends on your character.
B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.
C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.

了一个省略的虚拟句式“I’d get bored”来表达自己的态度。
此段独白是一则电台广播。用于解答一位即将获得工程学位的中国大学生关于美国大学毕业生求职
就业状况的疑问。
17. 答案为A。 此题为人物身份推断题，难度不大。根据材料中“Wang Ming, who is about to get an
engineering degree”可知Wang Ming 是一名马上就要毕业的学生。
18. 答案为C。 此题为有一定难度的事实细节题。根据材料中“…how American college graduates
find jobs. Right now, the answer is: not very easily.”可知美国大学生找工作也是不容易的。正确选项使
用了同义转述:“not optimistic”是“not easily”的转换表达。
19. 答案为A。 此题为有关数字的事实细节题。根据材料中“The study also showed that just 20% of
those who looked for jobs before graduation have found one by now.”可知今年只有20%的求职者在毕
业前找到了工作。三个选项都来自材料，而且分布十分紧密，很容易造成困扰，听者需边听边快速记
笔记，以分辨各数字所对应的信息。
20. 答案为B。 此题为事实细节题，需要对原文中的有关信息进行归纳总结，略有难度。根据材料中
“Engineering graduates were more likely to have started their job search already, and to have accepted a
job. This is among the best-paid professions for people with just a college degree. On average,
engineering majors expect to start at about $62,000 a year.”可知仅拥有本科学位的工程类毕业生就可
以获得最好的行业薪酬，他们所期望的起始年薪就高达$62,000，在前面提到的“不容易”的大背景
下，能推断出容易接受工作的原因和薪资水平有关。另外A 中的work experience 和C 中的 choice
均未被提及。

M: No problem. We have you arriving on the 16th of September and leaving the 24th of September —
altogether, eight nights. Will there be anything else?
W: Yes. Instead of a courtyard room, I’d like a room with a view, preferably on an upper floor.
M: I can certainly change that for you, but there will be a change in the room rate. The new rate is $199
per night, instead of the original $179.
W: That’s OK. These are all the changes. Thank you very much.
M: You’re welcome. Have a nice day!

M: Really?
W: Yeah, five of us. Why don’t you join us? We’re getting to Keswick on Friday. Then we’re going
boating on Saturday. And on Sunday, we’re going to do some shopping. Then I will take some time to
visit my aunt Lucy.
M: You’re not going to camp, are you? Isn’t it a bit cold?
W: No, we’re not. It is a bit cold. We’re staying in a country inn. It’s not like five-star hotels or anything.
But it’s really comfortable.
M: Hmm, sounds interesting. You know, it’s the boating that I don’t like.
W: Well, what are you up to?
M: Sit on my sofa all weekend and watch the DVDs I’ve just bought. And that will be a busy weekend. I
may finish watching Friends.
W: I don’t know how you can do that all weekend, Gordon. I’d get bored.
M: I know, I know. But that’s really what I want to do.

M: Hello. Welcome to the program. In America, May and June are the traditional months for graduations.
A listener in China, Wang Ming, who is about to get an engineering degree, wants to know how American
college graduates find jobs. Right now, the answer is: not very easily. A latest study on the college job
market showed that employers wanted to hire 22% fewer graduates this year than last. The study also
showed that just 20% of those who looked for jobs before graduation have found one by now. This is
compared to half of students who had looked for a job by this time two years ago. But one difference:
fewer of this year’s graduates have started to search for jobs. Engineering graduates were more likely to

have started their job search already, and to have accepted a job. This is among the best-paid professions
for people with just a college degree. On average, engineering majors expect to start at about $62,000 a

【考点】59：关系代词．菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：我住在一对夫妇的隔壁，他们的孩子很吵．
【解答】答案A．本题考查定语从句的关系词．a couple 是先行词，这对夫妻的孩子很吵，children 和

C. Making
D. To make
【考点】BA：不定式．菁优网版权所有
【分析】以便和我们联系更容易些，你最好把这张卡片留在身边．
【解答】答案：D. 分析句子结构可知，句中的it 作make 的形式宾语，真正的宾语是"to get in touch
with us"；"make…easier"意为"使…更容易"；结合句意可知，此处" it easier to get in touch with
us"在句中应该做目的状语；意为：以便和我们联系更容易些；A．Made 是过去分词形式，通常与主语
构成被动/动宾关系；此处make 的形式宾语是it，与主语没有意义关系；故A 不正确； B．Make 通过
分析句意，本句不是祈使句，故句子开头不能使用动词原形，故B 不正确；C．Making 是现在分词形
式，通常与主语构成主谓关系，此处make 与主语没有意义关系；所以C 也不正确；D．To make 是动
词不定式用在此处做目的状语；故选D
【点评】本题考查了动词不定式作目的状语的用法．做本题时，需要正确辨别分词短语与不定式的用
法区别．

【解答】答案C．"as long as"只要；"as if"似乎，好像；"even through"即使，尽管；"in case"以防万一．根
据句意，尽管我的爷爷九十几岁了，他仍然有时打网球．这里用even though 引导让步状语从句，故
选C．
【点评】本题考查的是从属连词，要熟悉选项中从属连词的意思并结合具体的语境选择出正确的选
项．
28. ______ over a week ago, the books are expected to arrive any time now.
A. Ordering
B. To order C. Having ordered
D. Ordered
【考点】BB：过去分词．菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：这些书是一周之前订的，他们预计在现在的任何时间都可以到达．
【解答】答案D．根据句意，"书预计在现在的任何时间都可以到达"，说明书已经被预定．
而"order"与"the books"之间是被动关系，故选D．"having ordered"只能表示动作的完成，而不表示被
动．
【点评】本题考查的是非谓语动词，要分析动词与主语的逻辑关系，并结合具体的语境选择出正确的
选项．
29. The most pleasant thing of the rainy season is _____ one can be entirely free from dust.
A. what
B. that
C. whether
D. why
【考点】HD：表语从句．菁优网版权所有
【分析】雨季最令人愉悦的就是人们可以完全不再受到沙尘的困扰．
【解答】答案B．"
one can be entirely free from dust"
﹣﹣
是做系动词is 的表语，所以该部分是表语从句．
分析表语从句的句子成分可知：从句中的主语是one，can be 是复合谓语，free from dust 是形容词短
语做表语，句子是"主系表"结构，那么可首先排除连接代词what．连词whether 引导表语从句时虽然
不做成分，但是有意义，意思是"是否"；连接副词why 引导表语从句时，不仅在句中作状语，而且还
有意义，意思是"为什么"．that 引导表语从句时，只起引导作用，没有任何意义，但是不能省略．联系
句子所表达的意思可知横线处不缺意义，故用连词that 来引导表语从句．故答案选B．
【点评】本题考查表语从句，要掌握表语的用法和学会句子成分的分析．
30. The students have been working hard on their lessons and their efforts ______ success in the end.
A. rewarded
B. were rewarded C. will reward
D. will be rewarded
【考点】F1：一般将来时的被动语态．菁优网版权所有
【分析】学生们一直在刻苦学习功课，他们的努力将来一定会得到回报．
【解答】答案D．A 和B 表示过去的客观事实，根据句意，回报是将来发生的事，应该用一般将来时，
第12页（共23页）
而efforts 和reward 是被动关系，故选D．
【点评】本题考查时态和语态，要了解各个时态的用法并结合具体的语境选择出正确的选项．
31. I love the weekend, because I _____ get up early on Saturdays and Sundays.
A. needn’t

【解答】答案A．"needn't"没必要，不需要；"mustn't"禁止；"wouldn't"不愿意；"shouldn't"不应该．根据
句意，周六和周日"不需要"早起，故选A．
【点评】本题考查情态动词，要掌握情态动词的用法并结合具体的语境选择出正确的选项．
32. Newly-built wooden cottages line the street, _____ the old town into a dreamland.
A. turn
B. turning
C. to turn
D. turned
【考点】B3：现在分词．菁优网版权所有
【分析】新建的木屋林立在街道的两旁，使古镇变成了一个梦幻之地．
【解答】答案B．题目考查现在分词表伴随状况．句意：新建的木屋林立在街道的两旁，使古镇变成了
一个梦幻之地．A．turn 错误，句中 已经有谓语动词，只能选择一个非谓语动词．turn 的逻辑主语是
cottages，两者是主动关系，故用现在分词，表示主动和伴随，故选B．
【点评】本题考查非谓语动词，属于中档题．
33. I really enjoy listening to music ___ it helps me relax and takes my mind away from other cares of the
day.
A. because
B. before

【解答】答案A．"because"因为；"before"在…之前；"unless"除非，如果不；"until"直到…根据句意，我
非常喜欢听音乐，因为它能让我放松，使我不去想其它的事情．前后是因果关系，故选A．
【点评】本题考查原因状语从句，要掌握具体的语境选择出正确的连词．
34. Why didn’t you tell me about your trouble last week? If you ___ me, I could have helped.
A. told
B. had told
C. were to tell
D. would tell
【考点】E9：过去完成时；GJ：虚拟语气．菁优网版权所有
【分析】你上周为什么没有告诉我你遇到麻烦？如果你告诉我的话，我就会帮助你了．
【解答】答案B．本题考查的是虚拟语气，根据句意，"你上周为什么没有告诉我你遇到麻烦"，表示与
过去的虚拟，句型结构为if+主语+had done，主语+would/could/might/should+have done，故选B．
【点评】本题考查虚拟语气，要掌握与过去，现在，将来虚拟时的句型结构并结构具体的语境选择出

【分析】我并不惧怕明天，因为我见过昨天并深爱着今天．
【解答】答案：C．分析句子内容可知，我不害怕明天的原因是我见过昨天并深爱着今天，两者构成了
一种因果关系，所以用表示原因的连词for，本句属于前果后因；so 可引导结果，and 表并列，而but
表示转折，均不符合句意；故选C．
【点评】对于连词的运用要认真分析句子之间的逻辑关系，结合连词的具体用法即可做出正确的选
择．

【分析】[生死较量]
文章讲述了一个和死亡赛跑的故事．1925 年寒冷的一月，在北阿拉斯加一个叫诺姆（Nome）的
小镇，因为大雪失去了与外界的联系．更可怕的是医生检查到一种致命的传染病"白喉"，如果不马上
救治，小镇上的孩子都会遭殃．一面是急需药物，一面是最近的药品供应站还在千里之外，加上大雪
封路，水陆不通．紧急时刻，诺姆镇的官员们想到了一个办法：先用列车将药品从安克拉治送到尼纳
纳，再用狗拉雪橇运送．从而展开了一场生死接力．在经历了重重考验后，药物及时送达，诺姆镇的
孩子们获救了．
第14页（共23页）
【解答】36-40 ABDCB 41-45 CDABA 46-50 CDCDC 51-55 ABADB
36．A Dr. Welch 是检查出一个叫Billy 的男孩得了白喉，故选A．
37．B 由前后句意可知，Dr. Welch 希望药品能尽快地送到，但是最近的供应点有1000 公里远，因而
选B，表示"很无助"．
38．D 由前面的句子的句意可知，Dr. Welch 希望药品能尽快送到．_____，最近的供应点有1000 公
里远，可知前后位转折关系，用并列连词however．
39．C 由句子中的关键词by ship 可知，对应的应该是harbor（港口），因选C．
40．B 前面说到了下雪的天气，所以这句话里面应该是snowy roads（雪地），应选B．
41．C 由动词的时态had died，表示动作在过去的一段时间完成，应该用过去完成时，这里表示到（某
个具体时间点）为止，要用by．
42．D 前面说到Billy 和三个其他孩子去世了，这句说明还有二十个孩子_____，可以推知是生病了，
选D．
43．A 由后文可知，出现了新的运输方式，They would have the medicine sent by
44
from
Anchorage to Nenana. From there, dogsled（狗拉雪橇）drivers
known as
﹣
"mushers"
would __
﹣
45__
it to Nome in a relay（接力），可知是想到了新的方法/主意，故选A．
44．B 由上文The town’s
39
was already full of ice, so it couldn’t come by ship. Cars and horses
couldn’t travel on the
40
roads. Jet airplanes and big trucks didn’t exist yet. 可排除选项ACD．
45．A Dogsled（狗拉雪橇）drivers would ____ it to Nome．本句可以把插入语拿掉，结合上下文可知，
是"带上"药品，故用carry．
46．C 由前后句子可知，是Shannon 将药交给下一只狗的时候，它的脸都冻黑了．因此选用when．
47．D 结合前后句可知，Norton Sound 是一个结了冰的水域，所以应该是穿过这条结冰的水域，答案
为D．A frozen body 意为结了冰的水面．
48．C 由后面的句子Norton Sound was covered with ice, which could sometimes break up without
warning.（水面结了冰，有时会毫无预兆地裂开），可知其危险性，故答案为C．
49．D 根据前后句可知，假如Seppala 掉进水里…and so would the sick children of Nome.（诺姆镇的
孩子也会____），可以推知是"完蛋了"，die，选D．
50．C 根据动词block 可知，是block one’s way，挡住了某人的路，因此选C．
51．A 由后面的内容可知，Balto put his nose to the ground…是在找路，因此可以推知Kaasen 找不到
路，选find．
52．B 此处为Balto 是在试图找到路，应为try to do sth，选B．
53．A 可以采用排除法，Balto 找到了路线后，不可能是leave，bite 和play，而是赶紧赶路，因此为
run．答案为A．
54．D 由Dr. Welch had the medicine．可以推知，Kaasen and his dog 是到达了，因此为arrived．
55．B 诺姆镇的孩子因为有了药而____，根据前文可以推知，故事最后的结果是﹣﹣孩子们成功获
救了，因此为saved．

December 15, 2014
Dear Alfred,
I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.
Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150+ at 17, I’m anything
but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD（注意力缺陷多动障碍）. Anxious all the time, I
was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.
However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became
curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of
Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.
While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high
school, but couldn’t. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online
computer courses of your training center.
第15页（共23页）
Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m
learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your
video. This has given me a purpose.
Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public, I could work
alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job-Data Analyst-this month and have been
going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to
college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.
Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about
myself because I’m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.
This is why you’re saving my life.
Yours,
Tanis

Surviving Hurricane Sandy（飓风桑迪）
Natalie Doan, 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks
from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes
Rockaway so special,” she says.
On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast,
and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before
the city’s bridge closed.
When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of
Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering,
especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in
Brooklyn.
第16页（共23页）
In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie.
Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to
helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly
people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.
“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose
how I deal with it.”
Natalie’s choice was to help.
She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie
posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house
burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.
In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new
basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-
need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the
White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.
Today, the scars（创痕）of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets
are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie
declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”
59. When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found .
A. some friends had lost their lives
B. her neighborhood was destroyed
C. her school had moved to Brooklyn
D. the elderly were free from suffering
60. According to paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most?
A. The people helping Rockaway rebuild.
B. The people trapped in high-rise building.
C. The volunteers donating money to survivors.
D. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people.
61. How did Natalie help the survivors?
A. She gave her toys to the kids.
B. She took care of younger children.
C. She called on the White House to help.
D. She built an information sharing platform.
62. What does the story intend to tell us?
A. Little people can make a big difference.
B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. East or West, home is best.
D. Technology is power.

California Condor’s Shocking Recovery
California condors are North America’s largest birds, with wind-length of up to 3 meters. In
the1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning(铅中毒) nearly drove them to dying out. Now, electric shock
training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds.
In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild, and there are now more than 150
flying over California and nearby Arizona, Utah and Baja in Mexico.
Electrical lines have been killing them off. “As they go in to rest for the night, they just don’t see the
power lines,” says Bruce Ride out of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge the gap between lines,
resulting in electrocution9 电死) if they touch two lines at once.
So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, placed in large training areas, teach the
birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock. Before the
training was introduced, 66% of set-freed condors died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%.
Lead poisonous has proved more difficult to deal with. When condors eat dead bodies of other
animals containing lead, they absorb large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous systems and ability
to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney（肾）failures and death. So condors with high levels of lead
are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are treated with calcium EDTA, a chemical that removes lead
from the blood over several days. This work is starting to pay off. The annual death rate for adult condors
has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011.
Rideout’s team thinks that the California condors’ average survival time in the wild is now just under
eight years. “Although these measures are not effective forever, they are vital for now,” he says. “They are
truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them.”
63.California condors attract researchers’ interest because they .
A. are active at night B. had to be bred in the wild
C. are found on in California D. almost died out in the 1980s
64. Researchers have found electrical lines are .
A. blocking condors’ journey home B. big killers of California condors
C. rest places for condors at night D. used to keep condors away
65. According to Paragraph 5, lead poisoning .
A. makes condors too nervous to fly
B. has little effect on condors’ kidneys
C. can hardly be gotten rid of form condors’ blood
D. makes it different for condors to produce baby birds
66. The passage shows that .
A. the average survival time of condors is satisfactory
B. Rideout’s research interest lies in electric engineering
C. the efforts to protect condors have brought good results
D. researchers have found the final answers to the problem.

Why College Is Not Home
The college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy（自主性）and the
development of adult identity. However, now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence,
during which many of today’s students and are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.
For previous generations, college was decisive break from parental control; guidance and support
needed help from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, however, continued
connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cell phones, email and social media, have increased
significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college
as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, universities have given in
to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.
To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and
experimentation. This process involves “trying on” new ways of thinking about oneself bother
intellectually（在思维方面）and personally. While we should provide “safe spaces” within colleges, we
must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and
flexibility are fostered on debate and questioning.
Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college
community（群体）differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If
students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are not facing
the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.
Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against
another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controlled by their elders. If acceptable social
behavior is too strictly defined ( 规定) and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior that
administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.
It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out, particularly when there are reasons to do
so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency. What is lacking
today is the conflict between adolescent’s desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world.
Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience
intellectual growth.
Every college discussion about community values, social climate and behavior should include
recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation, of the necessary
tension between safety and self-discovery.
67. What’s the author’s attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students?
A. Sympathetic B. Disapproving C. Supportive D. Neutral
68. The underlined word “passage” in Paragraph 2 means .
A. change B. choice
C. text D. extension
69. According to the author, what role should college play?
A. To develop a shared identity among students.
B. To define and regulate students’ social behavior.
C. To provide a safe world without tension for students.
D. To foster students’ intellectual and personal development.
70. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?

【分析】本文讲述了当下的大学教育现状﹣﹣大学原本是培养学生独立性和成年特征的场所，是学
生从"家"到"社会"的过渡，然而现在的大学教育却成了青年的"安居"场所，青年人越来越不能承担起
作为成年人的责任．作者分析了形成这种现象的原因并且提出了相关的改进建议．
【解答】BADC
67．B 猜测作者情感态度．第二段记叙了这种现象﹣﹣上一代人里，大学生是从同龄人中获得帮助
和指引；而这二十年里，大学生从父母处获得帮助．第三段里作者表明了自己的态度﹣﹣To prepare
for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation.
以及While we should provide "safe spaces" within colleges, we must also make it safe to express
opinions and challenge majority views. 以及综合全文的中心思想（可在第一段和最后一段找到），作
者并不赞同"continued parental guidance to college students"（大学生继续父母的指导）．故答案为B
disapproving．
68．A 词义理解题．可在第二段找到原句"Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the
shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they
should provide the same environment as that of the home." 结合句意可知，接受家的庇护到大学生的
独立性和承担成人的责任是一个"过渡"，是一种变化过程，因此答案为A，change．
69．D 中心思想归纳题．由全文大意以及最后一段总结段的作者的意见Every college discussion
about community values, social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental
importance of student autonomy and self-regulation, of the necessary tension between safety and self-
discovery. 以及第三段的关键句Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered on debate and
questioning.可知第三段关键句的同义句是D 选项，作者主张加强大学生的独立性以及个性发展．故
答案为D．
70．C 写作结构分析题．全文第一段作者提出了全文的中心思想，最后一段再次呼吁．第二和三段是
现象和建议的关系（第二段陈述的是一种现象"在孩子上大学时，家长仍继续指引；学校也提倡给大
学生提供跟家一样舒适的环境."，第三段提出针对这一现象的建议），第四五段是对第三段的建议进
行分述，第六段是进一步说明第五段的内容﹣﹣如果不这样做的话产生的结果．因此答案为C．
【点评】做本题时，首先需要通读全文，把握文章的主旨大意；其次，快速浏览后面的题目，并结合问
题到文中相应的段落去寻找答案；另外，本文问题的设置旨在考查对全文或段落的主旨大意的概括

The Science of Risk-Seeking
Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and
the reward, the risk seems worth tasking.
71
Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise
and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were
better at hunting, fighting, or exploring.
72
As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from on
ration to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-
taking could get one Killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a
result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing,
or maybe you hate it.
73
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your Willingness to take risks
increases during your teenage years.
74
To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for
第20页（共23页）
new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for
risk as well.
Mean taking some risks, so your brain raisers your tolerance for risk as well.
75
For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the
rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the
waves or the shallow end of the pool.
A. It all depends on your character.
B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.
C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.
