Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a wellplanned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible，” he said.‎ ‎ But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students(NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship—young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to ￡15，000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree.NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods，” he said.‎ ‎31. How does Owain James feel about the gapyear phenomenon?‎ A．He's puzzled.‎ B．He's worried.‎ C．He's surprised.‎ D．He's annoyed.‎ ‎【文章大意】 本文主要介绍了越来越多的学生们在上大学之前采取了“间隔年”的方式，即推迟上大学的时间，在此期间挣钱赚取上学的学费等，以及人们对于这种做法的赞成和反对的观点。‎ ‎ ‎ A My colour television has given me nothing but a headache.I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit.I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later，when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventyfive dollars less than I had paid.The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed_off for the night. Fortunately, I didn't get any channels showing allnight movies or I would never have gotten to bed.‎ Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason，when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually，this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it，I had to change to another channel and then change it back.Sometimes this technique would not work，and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.‎ When neither of these methods removed the static noise，I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away.At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist，and it stopped working altogether.My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now， but I keep expecting more trouble.‎ ‎24. How does the author sound when telling the story?‎ A．Curious.‎ B．Anxious.‎ C．Cautious.‎ D．Humorous.‎ ‎24. D　推理判断题。这是一道推理作者讲述故事的时候，以什么口吻来讲述的试题。文章中第一段提到“Fortunately, I didn't get any channels showing allnight movies or I would never have gotten to bed.”；第二段提到当作者不断地摇晃电视来消除噪声的时候， 作者说了“I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉)…”。这些都体现了作者幽默的叙述手法。故选择D项。‎ ‎ ‎ B The freezing northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part—particularly to my taste, dulled by months of coldweather root vegetables—was a 7 am adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wakeup call.‎ The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 am to 1 pm, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries; the redpainted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.‎ Disappointed by many a broken, vineripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I've refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they're unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown's Grove Farm's stand, full ‎ of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal—and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn't be experiencing again for months.‎ Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown's Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where—luckily for me—I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I'd be ordering every tomato on it.‎ ‎26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?‎ A．They are soft.‎ B．They look nice.‎ C．They taste great.‎ D．They are juicy.‎ ‎ ‎ D Conflict is on the menu tonight at the cafe La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France's favourite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn't always easy. The customers—some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session—are quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论)，slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say ‘one feels’， or ‘people think’，” Lehanne told them. “Say ‘I think，’ ‘Think me’．”‎ A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn't seem more unFrench. But Lehanne's psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself: it's trying to help the city's troubled neighbourhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian ‎ cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle—longer working hours, a fastfood boom and a younger generation's desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.‎ The city's “psychology cafes”， which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middleaged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne's group just to learn to say what they feel. “There's a strong need in Paris for communication，” says Maurice Frisch, a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends. And they need to open up.” Lehanne says she'd like to see psychology cafes all over France. “If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn't exist，”she says.“If life weren't a battle, people wouldn't need a special place just to speak.”But then, it wouldn't be France.‎ ‎33. How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?‎ A．They are less frequently visited.‎ B．They stay open for longer hours.‎ C．They have bigger night crowds.‎ D．They start to serve fast food.‎ ‎34. What are theme cafes expected to do?‎ A．Create more jobs.‎ B．Supply better drinks.‎ C．Save the cafe business.‎ D．Serve the neighbourhood.‎ ‎35. Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?‎ A．They bring people true friendship.‎ B．They give people spiritual support.‎ C．They help people realize their dreams.‎ D．They offer a platform for business links.‎ ‎34．C　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation.”可以得出答案。故选C。‎ ‎35．B　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“‘If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn't exist，’ she says.‘If life weren't a battle, people wouldn't need a special place just to speak.’But then, it wouldn't be France.”可知， 心理咖啡馆在巴黎受欢迎的原因是它们能给予人们精神上的支持。故选B。‎ ‎【2014全国卷Ⅰ，A】‎ The Cambridge Science Festival Curiosity Challenge ‎ Dare to Take the Curiosity Challenge!‎ ‎ The Cambridge Science Festival (CSF) is pleased to inform you of the sixth annual Curiosity Challenge.

Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.‎ ‎ At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being ‎ for at least a mile in any direction.‎ ‎ I started wondering why I refused to run the light I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.‎ ‎ Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of a contract(契约)we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it is an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.‎ ‎ Trust is our first inclination(倾向).Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互)trust, not distrust. We do what we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'll show up; and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.‎ I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.‎ ‎65. The event made the author strongly believe that __________. ‎ ‎ A. traffic rules may be unnecessary ‎ B. doubting others is human nature ‎ C. patience is important to drivers D. a society needs mutual trust ‎ ‎66. Why was the author proud of himself?‎ ‎ A. He kept his promise.‎ ‎ B. He held back his anger.‎ ‎ C. He followed his inclination.‎ ‎ D. He made a right decision.‎ ‎【答案】‎ ‎65. D ‎ ‎66.

And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.‎ First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.‎ Let’s start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.‎ If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this ‎ case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn’t flap (摆动). It shouldn’t look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.‎ Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat. ‎ ‎48. Where can you probably find the text?‎ ‎ A. In a popular magazine. B. In a tourist guidebook.‎ C. In a physics textbook. D. In an official report.‎ ‎【答案】‎ ‎48. A ‎ ‎【2012全国卷Ⅱ，E】‎ Make Up Your Mind to Succeed Kind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone’s winner.” And their report cards sounded more positive (正面的) than ever before. As a result, Stanford ‎ University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”‎ Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here’s how they work:‎ A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent (才能) is genetic – you’re a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it’s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it’s quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.‎ On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn’t on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it’s quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.‎ We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck’s book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.‎ ‎57. What does the author think about the present generation?‎ ‎ A. They don’t do well at school. B. They are often misunderstood.‎ ‎ C. They are eager to win in sports. D. They are given too much praise.‎ ‎58. A fixed mind-set person is probably one who ___ .‎ ‎ A. doesn’t want to work hard ‎ B. cares a lot about personal safety ‎ C. cannot share his ideas with others ‎ D. can succeed with the help of teachers ‎59. What does the growth mind-set believe?‎ ‎ A. Admitting failure is shameful.‎ ‎ B. Talent comes with one’s birth.‎ ‎ C. Scores should be highly valued.‎ ‎ D. Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.‎ ‎60. What should parents do for their children based on Dweck’s study?‎ ‎ A. Encourage them to learn from failures.‎ ‎ B. Prevent them from making mistakes.‎ ‎ C. Guide them in doing little things.‎ ‎ D. Help them grow with praise.‎ ‎【答案】‎ ‎57. D ‎ ‎58. A ‎ ‎59. D ‎ ‎60. A ‎57.‎ ‎58.‎ ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】根据文章第三段中的“The fixed mind-set believes it’s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame.”可知：他相信成功但不想付出努力。‎ ‎【考点定位】考查判断推理。‎ ‎59‎ ‎60.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎【2011全国卷Ⅰ，A】‎ When milk arrived on the doorstep When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.‎ Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles.‎ ‎ And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.‎ All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to out house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.‎ There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.‎ Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch （门廊）. Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.‎ ‎56. Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer to __.‎ A. to show his magical power. B. to pay for the delivery ‎ C. to satisfy his curiosity. D. to please his mother. ‎ ‎57. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?‎ A. He wanted to have tea there. ‎ B. He was a respectable person.‎ C. He was treated as a family member. ‎ D. He was fully trusted by the family.‎ ‎58. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?‎ A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now. ‎ B. It has been driven out of the market.‎ C. Its service is getting poor. ‎ D. It is forbidden by law.‎ ‎59. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?‎ A. He missed the good old days. ‎ B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.‎ C. He missed it for his milk bottles. ‎ D. He planted flowers in it. ‎ ‎【答案】‎ ‎56. C ‎ ‎57. D ‎58. B ‎ ‎59. A ‎ ‎【解析】‎
