A
Have you seen the movie Coco? What about Finding Nemo? Did you watch The Incredibles? These movies may seem different, but they actually share a lot in common. For starters, they were all made by an animation studio called Pixar.
How can one studio make movies that everyone loves? The secret: Pixar tells stories that audiences of all ages and backgrounds can connect with.The most important part of any Pixar movie is the story itself.
GREAT STORYTELLING IS HARD WORK
Storytelling is an art and a skill. Pixar creators know this. They have put a lot of time and thought into what makes a great story. One Pixar storyboard artist named Emma Coates created a list called "The 22 Rules of Storytelling According to Pixar. These are the rules that all Pixar stories must follow in order to be called a good story.
One rule is that "You admire a character for trying more than for their successes. In Finding Dory, Dory isn't a perfect character. She finds it hard to remember things. She makes silly mistakes, but never stops trying to find her parents. This makes her the hero of her story. If you have ever tried hard for something, you can relate to Dory
- 34 -
GREAT STORYTELLING CONNECTS US
Why are the stories that Pixar tells important? They get the audience to feel the story Feelings of anger, fear, sadness, joy, and love are universal. In this way, Pixar's stories have the power to show audience members that we are more alike than different. Because we can connect with the characters' emotions, we can connect with each other
The stories that Pixar tells are very creative. No two movies are the same! But the stories and, more importantly, the feelings in each are universal. Even though we, ve never traveled the the power of these stories inspires us. They push us to better understand each other and to seek out our own adventures

B
Is your promotion really necessary? Many workers focus their hopes on climbing the scale of their organizations. The prospect of higher pay helps explain their ambition,but so does the greater status that comes with each successive(连续的) title.
This climb can often end in disappointment. The Peter Principle, developed by Laurence Peter for a book published in 1969, states that workers get promoted until they reach their level of incompetence. It makes perfect sense. If you are good at your job, you rise up the career ladder. Eventually, there will be a job you are not good at and at that point your career will stop.
There is another problem with chasing the promotion fantasy. Many companies have a strong tendency to promote the best sales people. Convincing others to buy goods and services is a useful skill, requiring charm and persistence. But, as the authors point out, these are not the same capabilities as the strategic planning and administrative competence needed to lead a sales team.
The research then looked at what happened after these super-salespeople were promoted Their previous sales performance was actually a negative indicator of managerial success.The sales growth of workers assigned to the star sellers was 7.5 percentage points lower than for those whose managers were previously weaker performers.
The trick to avoiding this curse is to stick to what you like doing. If you enjoy teaching, don't be a headmaster or college principal. If you like writing articles and columns, editing other people’s work may not give the same degree of satisfaction.
- 34 -
Another problem with pursuing frequent promotions is that it turns you into a supplicant, endlessly in search of favourable feedback from the higher-ups. This can lead you to lose control of your work-life balance. In Charles Handy's new book, 21 Letters On Life And Its Challenges, the experienced management theorist recalls an insight when working for Royal Dutch Shell,an oil giant. "In exchange for the promise of financial security and guaranteed work, I had sold my time to complete strangers with my permission for them to use that time for their own purpose,” he writes.

【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中The Peter Principle, developed by Laurence Peter for a book published in 1969, states that workers get promoted until they reach their level of incompetence. It makes perfect sense. If you are good at your job, you rise up the career ladder. Eventually, there will be a job you are not good at and at that point your career will stop.“由劳伦斯•彼得(Laurence Peter)在1969年出版的一本书中提出的“彼得原则”(The Peter Principle)指出,彼得定理指出,在官僚机构中,只要员工表现良好,可以胜任某一职位,他就会一直得到提拔,直到他们到达一个他们不能胜任的职位为止,然后他们就会一直待在这个职位上,不会再有晋升。”由此判断出,人们的职业生涯在某种程度上是有限度的。故选B。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中Another problem with pursuing frequent promotions is that it turns you into a supplicant, endlessly in search of favourable feedback from the higher-ups. This can lead you to lose control of your work-life balance.“频繁升职的另一个问题是,它会让你变成一个乞求者,无休止地从上级那里寻求他对你的积极的反馈。这导致你失去平衡生活与工作的控制权。”由此判断出,Charles Handy's new book 21 Letters On Life And Its Challenges被提到是为了说明追求晋升的严重后果。故选C。
【40题详解】
标题判断题。根据最后一段So that shiny promotion may not be for everyone. Beware the curse of overwork an/dissatisfaction. 所以光鲜的晋升可能并不适合所有人。当心随之而来的诅咒——过度劳累和满意度降低。”由此可知,这篇文章讲述的是晋升的诅咒。所以B项“晋升的诅咒”是最佳主题。故选B。
【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上,做出一定的推理判断,从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话,也可能是某几句话,所以,推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案:即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。根据第六段中Another problem with pursuing frequent promotions is that it turns you into a supplicant, endlessly in search of favourable feedback from the higher-ups. This can lead you to lose control of your work-life

In 2010,the planetary(行星的)defence team at NASA had identified and logged 90 percent of the asteroids(小行星)near Earth measuring 1km wide. These"near Earth objects",or NEOs, are the size of mountains and include anything within 50 million kilometers of Earth's orbit.With an estimated 50 left to log, NASA says none of the 887 it knows about are a significant danger to the planet.
Now NASA is working towards logging some of the smaller asteroids,those measuring 140 metres wide or more. Of the 25, 000 estimated asteroids of this size,so far about 8, 000 have been logged, leaving 17, 000 unaccounted for. Considering that a 19-metre asteroid that exploded above the city of Chelyabinsk in Russia in 2013 injured 1, 200 people,these middle sized asteroids would be a serious danger if they enter Earth's orbit. ①
Whether NASA can find the remaining middle-sized NEOs depends on getting the money to build NEOCam,a 0. 5-metre space telescope which would use infrared(红外线的)light to locate asteroids.
② Once logged,the planetary defence team would still need to work out how to defend the planet against being hit by the truly worrying asteroids-the PHAs.
"Potentially Hazardous Asteroids"(PHAs)are rocks close enough to pass within 7. 5 million kilometres of Earth's orbit. NASA has created a map of 1, 400 PHAs,none of which are expected to be a threat in the next one hundred years. _③ With technology already available,NASA can track these objects and make predictions about possible impact,at which point two defence solutions could be launched.
The first is DART-the Double Asteroid Redirection Test. Plans are scheduled to test DART on the moon of an asteroid called Didymos. "Didymoon"is 150 metres wide,orbiting its 800-metre mother, and hopefully the impact of DART will knock it out of its orbit enough for Earth-based telescopes to pick up.
Another suggested defence against a PHA on course to hit Earth is to blow it up
- 34 -
using a nuclear weapon. It may sound like a plot from a film, and it was the subject of the 1998 film Armageddon, but the Hypervelocity Asteroid Mitigation Mission for Emergency Response (HAMMER) is a genuine NASA proposal. ④ The eight-ton rockets would be fired at an approaching asteroid with the hope of bumping it off course. If the asteroid was too close to Earth for this plan to work, the rockets would carry nuclear bombs to blow it up instead.
41. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word“log”?
A. record B. protect
C. decide D. discover
42. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A. NASA has measured 90 percent of the asteroids
B. The asteroids are proved to be no danger to the planet
C. There are still many unlogged asteroids near Earth.
D Middle-sized asteroids are more likely to enter Earth's orbit
43. What can we infer from the passage?
A. PHAs are a big concern but not an immediate threat in the short term
B. People needn't worry about the middle-sized asteroids with the help of DART.
C. A special telescope will provide a complete defence against asteroids hitting Earth
D. It is likely that Didymoon will be knocked out of its orbit, dropping to Earth
44. Where does the following sentence fit best in the passage?
"If it did get the money, it could probably achieve its goal in ten years”
A. ① B. ②
C. ③ D. ④

这是一篇说明文。2010年,美国国家航空航天局的行星防御小组已经识别并记录了90%直径为1公里的近地小行星。这些“近地天体”,或称近地天体,有山脉那么大,包括距地球轨道5000万公里范围内的任何物体。据估计还有50个卫星需要记录,美国国家航空航天局表示,它所知道的887个卫星中没有一个对地球构成重大威胁。所以科学家计划设立小行星预警系统。
【41题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段中NASA says none of the 887 it knows about are a significant danger to the planet.“美国宇航局表示,他们所知道的887个行星中没有一个对地球构成重大威胁。”和第二段中的Of the 25, 000 estimated asteroids of this size,so far about 8, 000 have been logged, leaving 17, 000 unaccounted for.“在估计的2.5万颗这种大小的小行星中,迄今为止大约有8000颗已被记录在案,还有1.7万颗下落不明。”由此可知,With an estimated 50 left to log“估计还有50个待记录”中log得意思是“记录”。故选A。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的Of the 25, 000 estimated asteroids of this size,so far about 8, 000 have been logged, leaving 17, 000 unaccounted for.“在估计的2.5万颗这种大小的小行星中,迄今为止大约有8000颗已被记录在案,还有1.7万颗下落不明。”由此可知,从前两段我们可以知道“在地球附近还有许多未被记录的小行星。”故选C。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中"Potentially Hazardous Asteroids"(PHAs)are rocks close enough to pass within 7. 5 million kilometres of Earth's orbit. NASA has created a map of 1, 400 PHAs,none of which are expected to be a threat in the next one hundred years. 潜在危险的小行星是距离地球轨道750万公里以内的岩石。美国国家航空和宇宙航行局(NASA)绘制了一张1400个PHAs的地图,预计在未来100年里,这些PHAs都不会构成威胁。由此推知,PHAs是一个大问题,但在短期内不会构成直接威胁。故选A。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段Whether NASA can find the remaining middle-sized NEOs depends on getting the money to build NEOCam,a 0. 5-metre space telescope which would use infrared(红外线的)light to locate asteroids.“美国宇航局能否找到剩余的中等大小的neo,取决于能否获得建造NEOCam的资金。5米的太空望远镜,利用红外线来定位小行星。”再根据第四段中Once logged,the planetary defence team would still need to work out how to defend the planet against being hit by the truly worrying asteroids-the
- 34 -
PHAs.“一旦登录,行星防御小组仍然需要找出如何保护行星免受真正令人担忧的小行星撞击的方法。”由此可知,所给句子"If it did get the money, it could probably achieve its goal in ten years” “如果它真的得到了这笔钱,它可能会在10年内实现自己的目标。”放在第四段开头最合适,起到承上启下的作用。故选B。
【点睛】做词义猜测题时,利用上下文提供的情景和线索,进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推测词义,最常见的就是利用上下文语境、常识和语法关系推断词义。尤其是抓住所需推断词汇前后的含义。本题第1小题,根据第一段中NASA says none of the 887 it knows about are a significant danger to the planet.“美国宇航局表示,他们所知道的887个行星中没有一个对地球构成重大威胁。”和第二段中的Of the 25, 000 estimated asteroids of this size,so far about 8, 000 have been logged, leaving 17, 000 unaccounted for.“在估计的2.5万颗这种大小的小行星中,迄今为止大约有8000颗已被记录在案,还有1.7万颗下落不明。”由此可知,With an estimated 50 left to log“估计还有50个待记录”中log得意思是“记录”。故选A。

Monday dawned warm and rainless. Aurelio Escovar, a dentist without a degree, opened his office at six. When he had a handful of instruments arranged on the table, he sat down to polish the false teeth. He seemed not to be thinking about what he was doing, but worked steadily.
The sharp voice of his eleven-year-old son interrupted his concentration.
“Papa”
“What?”
“The Mayor wants to know if you'll pull his tooth”
“Tell him I’m not here.”
He was polishing a gold tooth. He held it at arm's length, and examined it with his eyes half closed. His son shouted again from the little waiting room.
“He says you are, too, because he can hear you”
The dentist kept examining the tooth. Only when he had put it on the table with the finished work did he say, "So much the better. He took several pieces of a bridge out of a cardboard box where he kept the things he still had to do and began to polish the gold.
“Papa”
- 34 -
“What? “ He still hadn't changed his expression
"He says if you don't take out his tooth, he'll shoot you.”
Without hurrying, with an extremely calm movement, he stopped his work and pulled the lower drawer of the table all the way out. There was a revolver(左轮手枪).”OK, ” he said . “Tell him to come and shoot me." He rolled the chair over opposite the door, his hand resting on the edge of the drawer.
The Mayor appeared at the door. He had shaved the left side of his face, but the other side swollen and in pain, had a five-day-old beard
The dentist saw many nights of desperation in his dull eyes. He closed the drawer with his finer tips and said softly, “Sit down”
“Good morning, "said the Mayor.
“Morning,” said the dentist.
While the instruments were boiling, the Mayor leaned his head on the headrest of the chair and felt better. His breath was icy. When he felt the dentist approach, the Mayor held his breath and opened his mouth.
Aurelio Escovar turned his head toward the light. After inspecting the infected tooth, he closed the Mayor's jaw with a cautious pressure of his fingers. "It has to be without anesthesia(麻醉).
"Why?“”
‘Because you have an abscess(脓肿).”
The Mayor looked him in the eye. "All right, he said, and tried to smile
The dentist did not return the smile. He did all the preparation work without looking at the Mayor.
It was a lower wisdom tooth. The dentist spread his feet and grasped the tooth with the hot forceps(钳子). The Mayor seized the arms of the chair with all his strength. The dentist moved only his wrist. Without rancor(怨恨), rather with a bitter tenderness, he said , “Now you will pay for our twenty dead men.”.
The Mayor felt the great pain in his jaw, and his eyes filled with tears. But he didn't breathe until he felt the tooth come out. Then he saw it through his tears. It seemed so foreign to his pain that he failed to understand his torture of the five

previous nights.
The dentist gave him a clean cloth. "Dry your tears, "he said.
The Mayor did. He was trembling. While the dentist washed his hands, he saw the shabby ceiling and a dusty spider web with spider's eggs and dead insects.
The dentist returned, drying his hands.”Go to bed,” he said, “and gargle(漱口)”with salt water.
The Mayor stood up, said goodbye with a casual military salute, and walked toward the door, stretching his legs.
“Send the bill, ” he said.
“ To you or the town?
The Mayor didn’t look at him. He closed the door and said through the screen,” __70__”
45. Why did the dentist say he was not there(Para. 6) when the Mayor wanted to have his tooth pulled?
A. Because he was only a dentist without a degree
B. Because he was unwilling to treat the Mayor
C. Because he was too busy to attend to the mayor.
D. Because he was still polishing the Mayor's gold tooth
46. What does the underlined sentence"He says if you don' t take out his tooth, he'll shoot you imply?

Holidays are good for workers and companies alike
The swimming suits have been dug out of drawers. The beach shoes have been brought back from the shed. Tens of millions are about to go on their annual holiday. They will go away for at least a week.
A vacation means workers get more sleep without the early-morning alarm. In addition, they no longer suffer the pain of the daily transport: the crowded railway carriages or roads And best of all, there are no meetings to suffer. In short, holidays reduce stress.
- 34 -
It also gives workers a chance to recharge their mental batteries. Heading to a new location allows employees to clear their thoughts. After all,there is more to life than spreadsheets(电子数据表) and sales forecasts. For those on vacation, the occasional work-related thought might occur when walking quietly along the beach, or through a wood. Often such ideas will be all the more original for being dreamed up in a moment of relaxation.
Although it does lead to crowded traffic, there is something to be said for the European tradition of taking holidays in August. The predictability of the season means that companies can adjust their plans accordingly. Even those people who are in the office can enjoy an easier pace of life. Most of their customers and suppliers are on a break so there is not much that anyone can do.
Indeed, just as employees need a break from the workplace, companies sometimes need a break from their employees. After a trading scandal(丑闻) at Societe Generale, a French bank recommended that all traders take a two-week break at some point in the year. The aim was to make sure that any unusual dealing patterns would be discovered while the employee who was suspected of doing something improper was away from his desk.
Senior managers can also benefit from seeing what happens when their juniors head to the beach.Does office efficiency improve as soon as a mid-level manager disappears? If so, this suggests that he or she is not running the department well. Does an underling(下属) do a good job when the boss is away? In that case, they may need a promotion.
Work can be annoying but, as any unemployed person will tell you, it is better than the alternative. . It gives purpose to people's days and, on occasion, can even be fun. But not every day.Some days it is better to be reading a book. By a pool, in the sunshine.

【详解】这是一篇读写任务型写作。首先用约30词概括上述信息的主要内容。根据According to the regulation,primary and middle school teachers are allowed to criticize and give proper punishment to students who violate school discipline, social order, laws and rules, as well as those who cause chaos可知,An official notice has been issued to grant teachers the right to properly punish students.可知,“已经发布了一份官方通知,授予教师适当惩罚学生的权利。”另外,根据文章内容可知,The public are concerned about this regulation, expressing their opinions on it from different perspectives.“公众对这一规定表示关注,并从不同角度表达了自己的看法。”关于“教师对违纪违规学生实施一定的惩戒”是赞成的,“学校是一个每个学生都应该遵守规则的地方,如果不遵守,他们就应该对自己的行为负责”;至于“如何管教学生”,我认为适当的措施是首先要防止学生违反校规。学校规章制度的发布应该是透明的,这有助于所有相关的人知道学生在校园应该如何表现。此外,为了有效的沟通,老师应该对学生更有耐心。只有大家共同努力,学生才能学会遵守学校的规章制度。写作时注意准确运用时态,本文应该用一般现在时态;上下文意思要连贯,符合逻辑关系,尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式,同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。特别注意在选择句式时要富有变化。要注意书写,认真查验是否有漏写情况等。
