25. Bags of Love
Last year,I was assigned to work at an office near my mother’s house,so I stayed with her for a month.During that time,I helped out with the housework and contributed to the groceries.
After less than a week,I started noticing that the groceries were running out pretty quickly﹣we were always suddenly out of something.(25) (wonder) how my mum could consume them so quickly,I began observing her daily routine for two weeks.To my surprise,I found that she would pack a paper bag full of canned goods and head out every morning at about nine.Eventually,I decided to follow her and (26) happened truly amazed me.She was taking the food to the refugee camp,in (27) she distributed it to children.
I asked around and found out that my mum was very well known in the area.The kids were very friendly with her and even looked up to her as if she were their own mother.Then it hit me﹣shy would she mot want to tell me about what she (28) (do)?Was she worried about how I would react or that I would stop (29) (buy) the groceries if I found out?
When she got home,I told her about my discovery.(30) she could react,I gave her a big hug and told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret (31) me.She told me that some of the children lived with an older lady in a shelter while others slept on the streets.For years,my mum has been helping out by giving them whatever food she could spare.I was so impressed by (32) selfless she was.
33.(8分)(2016•上海)Stress:Good or Bad?
Stress used to be an almost unknown word,but now that we are used to talking about it,I have found that people are beginning to get stressed about being stressed.
In recent years,stress(33) (regard) as a cause of a whole range of medical problems,from high blood pressure to mental illness.But like so many other things,it is only too much stress(34) does you harm.It is time you considered that if there were no stress in your life,you would achieve a little.If you are stuck at home with no stress,then your level of performance will be low.Up to a certain point,the more stress you are under,the (35) (good) your performance will be.Beyond a certain point,though,further stress will only lead to exhaustion,illness and finally a breakdown.You can tell when you are over the top and on the downward slope,by asking yourself (36) number of questions.Do you,for instance,feel that too much is being expected of (37) ,and yet find it impossible to say no?Do you find yourself getting impatient of (38) (annoy) with people over unimportant things?…If the answer to all those questions is yes,you had better(39) (control ) your stress,as you probably are under more stress than is good for you.
To some extent you can control the amount of stress in your life.Doctors have worked out a chart showing how much stress is involved in various events.Getting married is 50,pregnancy 40,moving house 20,Christmas 12,etc.If the total stress in your life is over 150,you are twice as likely (40) (get)ill.

Golden Rules of Good Design
What makes good design?Over the years,designers and artists have been trying to (41) the essentials of good design.They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design.There are four as follows.
Less is more.This saying is associated with the German﹣born architect Mies van der Rohe.In his Modernist view,beauty lies in simplicity and elegance,and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means.Design should avoid unnecessary (42)
More is not a bore.The American﹣born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly,the result is (43) design.Post﹣Modernist designers began to (44) with decoration and color again.Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen (45) such as ovens and kettles.
Fitness for purpose.Successful product design takes into consideration a product’s function,purpose,shape,form,color,and so on.The most important result for the user is that the product does what is (46) .For example,think of a(n) (47) desk lamp.It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user.It also needs to be stable.Most importantly,it needs to (48) light where it is needed.
From follows emotion.This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger.He believes design must take into(49) the sensory side of our nature﹣sight,smell,touch and taste.These are as important as rational(理性的) thinking.When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste,we appreciate a cool﹣looking device that allows us to easily(50) the toothpaste onto our brush.
51. In the 1960s,Douglas McGregor,one of the key thinkers in the art of management,developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y.Theory X is the idea that people instinctively (51) work and will do anything to avoid it.Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.
In any case,despite so much evidence to the (52) ,many managers still agree to Theory X.They believe,(53) ,that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively,or that decisions must be imposed from (54) without consultation.This,of course,makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.
Different cultures have different ways of (55) people.Unlike authoritarian management,some cultures,particularly in Asia,are well known for the consultative nature of decision﹣making﹣all members of the department or work group are asked to (56) to this process.This is management by the collective opinion.Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things,which are based on general (57) .Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional (58) managers cannot.
A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative,to make decisions on their own without(59) managers first.This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing:(60) the number of management layers in companies.After de﹣layering in this way,a company may be (61) with just a
top level of senior managers,front﹣line managers and employees with direct contact with the public.Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has (62) been the case.Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to (63) that the overall business plan is being followed,and that operations become more profitable under the new organization,rather than less.
Another trend is off﹣site or (64) management,where teams of people linked by e﹣mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses.Project managers evaluate the (65) of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects,rather than the amount of time they spend on them.

66.One early morning,I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again.My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word“Poems”appeared in big,hot pink letters.
“Is it good?”I asked her.
“Yeah,”she answered.“There’s one I really like and you’ll like it,too.”I leaned forward.
“‘Patty Poem,’”she read the title.Who is Patty?I wondered.The poem began:
She never puts her toys away,
Just leaves them scattered①where they lay,…①散乱的
The poem was just three short sections.The final one came quickly:
When she grows and gathers poise②,②稳重
I’ll miss her harum﹣scarum③ noise,③莽撞的
And look in vain④ for scattered toys.④徒劳地
And I’ll be sad.
A terrible sorrow washed over me.Whoever Patty was,she was a mean girl.Then,the shock.
“It’s you,honey,”My mother said sadly.
To my mother,the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves.To me,the“she”in the poem was horror.It was my mama who would be sad.It was so terrible I burst out crying.
“What’s wrong?”my mother asked.
“Oh Mama,”I cried.“I don’t want to grow up ever!”
She smiled.“Honey,it’s okay.You’re not growing up anytime soon.And when you do,I’ll still love you,okay?”
“Okay,”I was still weeping.My panic has gone.But I could not help thinking about that silly poem.After what seemed like a safe amount of time,I read the poem again and was confused.It all fit so well together,like a puzzle.The language was simple,so simple I could plainly understand its meaning,yet it was still beautiful.I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry,words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.
I have since fallen in love with other poems,but“Patty Poem”remains my poem.After all,“Patty Poem”gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits,but because it was the one that hurt me the most.

70. Is there link between humans and climate change or not?This question was first studied in the early 1900s.Since then,many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference.In 1997,the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008 to 2012.Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020.More recently,the Paris Agreement,stuck by nearly 200 countries,also aims to limit global warming.But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.

73. Enough“meaningless drivel”.That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.
The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report,released last week,has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.
“The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,”says Andrew Miller,the chair of the committee.Instead,he says,firms should provide a plain﹣English version of their terms.The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.
It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme,but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis.“we need to think through how we make that work in practice,”says Miller.
Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark?“I think if you went and did the survey,people would like to think they would,”says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton,UK,who studies open data.“We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.”But what would happen in practice is another matter,he says.
Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand,but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new.“We still don’t know how significant the long﹣term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20years’time,”he says.
Shadbolt,who gave evidence to the committee,says the problem is that we don’t know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving.Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently,he says.
The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect,even if users have apparently permission,show that the current situation isn’t working.If properly administered,a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to.Although they would still have to actually read them.
73.What does the phrase“meaningless drivel”in paragraphs 1and 3 refer to?
A.Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.
B.Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.
C.Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.
D.Insignificant data collected by social media firms.
74.It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether .
A.social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark scheme
B.people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they think
C.a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scale
D.the kitemark would help companies develop their business models
75.Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because .
A.their users consist largely of kids under 20years old
B.the language in their contracts is usually harder to understand
C.the information they collected could become more valuable in future
D.it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of
76.The writer advises users of social media to .
A.think carefully before posting anything onto such websites
B.read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemark
C.take no further action if they can find a kitemark
D.avoid providing too much personal information
77.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A.Say no to social media?
B.New security rules in operation?
C.Accept without reading?
D.Administration matters!

78.(8分)(2016•上海)Walking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed to reduce congestion(拥堵) at some of the country’s busiest stations.
In the first move of its kind,all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量) at the height of the rush hour.
A six﹣month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid﹣April,eliminating the rule of standing on the right and walking on the left.The move,imitating a similar structure in Far Eastern cities such as Hong Kong,is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times.it could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years.
According to London Underground,only 40percent of travelers walk the full length of long escalators,leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the“standing“side.
A three﹣week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any one time of could be raised by almost a third.Peter McNaught,operations director at London Underground,said:“It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standing still,but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true.This new six﹣month trial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term.”
Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4high.Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk up﹣meaning only one side was used at all times.Research has shown that it is more effective use of escalators over 18.5to ban walking.
The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2,500people between 8:30am and 9:30am on a typical day,rising to 3,250during the researching period.
In the new trial,which will be launched from April 18,one of three“up”escalators will be standing only,with a second banning walking at peak times.A third will remain a mix of walking and standing.
(Note:Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
78.What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left?
79.What did last year’s three﹣week trial at Holborn station prove?
80.The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least in height.
81.In the new trail,in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours,the other“up”escalators will be used for .

【分析】本篇主要介绍了美国著名管理大师以及行为科学家麦格雷戈的“X理论﹣Y理论”﹣﹣消极的X理论,即人性本恶,在工作中人本能地不喜欢工作;积极的Y理论,即人性本善,在工作中人都有在工作中获得满足感的潜能.
【解答】51﹣55 DABDC 56﹣60 BADAC 61﹣65 BBDAC
51.D desire 需求,欲望;seek 寻找; lose 失去,丢失; dislike 不喜欢.本句简单介绍了X理论,由后半句and will do anything to avoid it可以推知,人们本能地_______工作,这里应该是dislike.
52.A many managers still agree to Theory X(管理者们仍然同意X理论),由despite…still关键词可知,即使有很多关于Y理论的有力证据,管理者仍然坚持X理论,因而,空格处代表的是“Y理论”,即是X理论的相反,故选contrary.
53.B vice versa 反之亦然;for example,比如;however 然而;otherwise 否则.根据整句内容,这里是顺势举例,没有转折的意思,因此为for example.
54.D 根据前后句的解释,X理论是一种赞同专制的理论,因此此处为above(上头,上面的阶级),表示决定impose(强加)自上头,在没有任何协商的情况下(without any consultation).
55.C 由后文内容可知,不同的文化,有不同的管理人的办法,在这一点上,西方开始效仿东方国家.这里为managing.

58.D Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional (58)___ managers cannot.此处指出女性能够成为效率更高的管理者,因为她们有让人达到共同目标的手段,这里存在男性和女性的对比,that引导定语从句,表示“男性没有的一种力量”,因而为male.
59.A 由前一句可知to encourage employees to use their own initiative(鼓励员工的主动性),因此后一句表达“不需要征询管理者的同意”,征询,asking.
60.C 此句关键字为downsizing(精简,裁员),因而冒号后为解释前句的意思,因此为reducing(减少).
61.B 后一句为After de﹣layering in this way的结果,可知结果是“只剩下了最高的高级管理者,最前沿的管理者以及直接接触公众的雇员(a top level of senior managers,front﹣line managers and employees with direct contact with the public),答案B.
62.B Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has (62)___been the case.比起传统中自己处理事情,授权更多地采用委托他人来解决事情.根据句意,应为traditionally.
63.D deny否定,admit 承认,assume 夺取,假定,ensure 确保;此处提到授权的好处,应该是“确保”,答案为D.
64.A virtual虚拟的,ineffective无效的,day﹣to﹣day 日复一日的,on﹣the﹣scene 现场的,根据后文内容,teams of people linked by e﹣mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses,可知是虚拟的.

69.A 推理判断题.根段据文章的最后一段“I have since fallen in love with other poems,but“Patty Poem”remains my poem.After all,“Patty Poem”gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits,but because it was the one that hurt me the most.”可知:这首诗歌让作者感受到了诗歌的美,让作者爱上了诗歌,不是因为这首诗提起了我的精神,而是因为它是让我感触最深的一首诗.因此是这首诗歌引领作者发现了诗歌的力量,故答案选A.

【解答】I really hope that my article will be published in a newspaper someday.
本句是表达的自己的一种主观愿望,所以用一般现在时,从句中愿望的内容可以用一般将来时.

该句的翻译可以使用不同的句式来表达:What is the point of/in doing sth??/Is there any point (in)doing sth做某事有意义吗?后面的动词不定式作目的状语.line up to do sth,为做某事而排队.
【点评】我们可以鼓励学生使用非谓语动词的形式来表达句子的意思.

【点评】对于翻译句子要灵活的运用复合句,结合句子的意思来选择恰当的短语和句式.
86.【分析】翻译:The moment my aunt gained her diploma after four years of hard work,she was filled with joy.
