author of the success principles. what jack had become was a version of what i wanted to be. during his talk, jack1his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, who wants this?hnadsshot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom jack wouldchoose. but i ran up thestairsto the stage and grabbed the bill from his hand. he turned to me and said, “yes, thats it! instead of waiting around for opportunities, simply take the initiative and create what we want!”after this week, i asked for his personal e-mail address and sent him e-mail sharing my views and dreams. he kindly e-mailed back simple encouragement such as “keep thinking and playing bigger; its much more fun that way. love, jack.” then i got occupied with other things in life and i stopped e-mail jack.a year later, my dream gradually faded. i had this idea if i got back in touch with jack. i e-mailed him again and again but got no response. as i sat down at my computer to check my e-mail for the fifth time in 15 minutes, an inspiration came like lighting: what was i doing? was i waiting for the prize of life? i knew i needed to do something about all this waiting. i was going to write a book, which i would call “waiting for jack”!it all sounded good, but then reality hit. some nights i cried and wanted to give up. i wrote and rewrote. even though i could feel the fear, i did it anyway. fortunately, three years later, waiting for jack turns out a best-seller on amazon!we all have a “jack” for whom we waitwhether its a person, a place or a thing. now i would like to ask you: what are

lawmakers want to change time-off policies. supporters say paid leave is the right thing to do. opponents say it will kill economic growth. in 2014, the united nations reported that papua new guinea(巴布亚新几内亚) and the u.s. are the only two - out of 185 - countries in the world that do not offer workers paid time off to care for newborns. however, several state governments and some private businesses in the u.s. have provided the benefits for their workers.not every american agrees that requiring businesses to pay workers for leave is a good idea. tricia baldwin is a business woman. she is secretary and treasurer for her familys company. her company employs 400 workers. she says giving all of them paid leave would ruin her company. instead, reliable contracting gives paid leave to employees who have stayed with the company for at least five years. she says paid leave is simply another government order that adds more costs to doing business. president obama supports paid leave for workers. recently, he proposed a measure called the healthy family act. it would allow workers to earn up to seven paid days of sick leave a year to care for themselves or family members.mr. obama also wants congress to approve a measure giving all workers six weeks of paid leave to have and care for a new baby.u.s. lawmakers who support the proposed measure say paid leave is good for the families and for businesses. representative don beyer says paid leave is an encouragement to parents to return to the job. mr. beyer says training a new employee can cost a company a years worth of income. but u.s. lawmakers who oppose the bill say they do not want to restrict businesses by requiring them to provide paid leave. they are offering a different measure. the working families flexibility act would allow employees to work extra hours and earn either time off or more pay.28. if a woman in the u.s left to care for her newborn baby, she _.a. wouldnt get extra time offb. would get lower payc. would pay for her leave or she will be firedd. wouldnt get paid leave29. tricia baldwin opposes paid leave because it will _.a. kill the national economic growthb. not be enough to relieve the workers burdenc. add more costs to doing businessd. ruin companies rules30. some of the lawmakers are opposed to the proposed measure to require paid leave because they think _.a. it encourages parents to return to the jobsb. it will add companies cost of training new employeesc. it gives workers more economic guaranteesd. it reduces employees working time31. what is the best title for the passage?a. how to reform the rules of paid leave in the u.s.b. will the u.s pay workers for family leave?c.is it good for the u.s to pay workers for family leave?d. why doesnt the u.s pay workers for family leave?d one in five people carry a smart gene variant(变体)linked to long lifespan, bigger forebrains and enhanced mental ability, researchers have found.weve known for a long time that people lose cognitive(认知) abilities as they age, but now were beginning to understand that factors like klotho can give people a boost in aging. genetic variation in klotho could help us predict brain health and find ways to protect people from the diseases that happen to us as we grow old, like alzheimers disease(老年痴呆症),” said senior author, dena dubal of university of california.the klotho gene affects a protein found in the kidneys and the brain that regulates many different body processes. about one in five people carry a single copy of the varian, known as kl-vs,which boosts levels of the protein and is associated with a longer lifespan and improved heart and kidney function. a small minority, 3% of the population, has two copies, which is linked to a shorter lifespan.in the new study scientists scanned the brains of 422 men and women aged 53 and over who were also tested for the klotho gene. they found that participants with a single copy of the gene variant also had a larger brain region known as rdlpfc, which is especially likely toshrinkwith age. loss of neurons in this area may be one reason why older people are sometimes easily distracted and find it difficult to do more than one task at the same time.researcher dr jennifer yokoyama said, “ the brain region enhanced by genetic variation in klotho is vulnerable(脆弱的)in aging and some mental disease. in this case, bigger size means better function. it will be important to determine whether the structure increase associated with carrying one copy of kl-vs can offset the cognitive shortage caused by disease.”people who have one copy of a variant kl-vs tend to live longer and have lower chances of suffering a stroke (中风),whereas people who have two copies may live shorter lives and have a higher risk of stroke.32. what can we learn from the second paragraph?a. peoples cognitive abilities do not decline if people have klothob. with the clear understanding of klotho, alzheimers disease can be cured now.c. genetic variation in klotho could be helpful in treating mental disease in elderly peopled. genetic variation in klotho could lead people to suffer from alzheimers disease33. if a person carries two copies of the gene variant, he/she may _a. have better kidney funtcitonb. have a shorter lifespanc. have a higher level of the protein in his/her bodyd. suffer from some cognitive disease34. the reason why older peoples attention is easily distracted may be that _.a. they have fewer neurons in the rdlpecb. their brain region is too largec. they have two copies of the gene variantd. they have more neurons in the rdlpec35. what does the underlined word “offset” in paragraph 5 probably mean?a. preventb. balancec. keepd. promote第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10 分) 根据短文内容,

things, better known as clutter. actually, she did write a book on the issue, which is called “the life-changing magic of tidying up”. 36 it has sold more than 2 million copies.marie kondo says people can improve their lives by changing the way they think about all their stuff- everything from books, documents and photographs to clothing and personal mementoes. “ 37 ” and this is pretty good.” ms. kondo writes.this is not the first time an organizing expert has written a book on clutter. other books suggest wonderful things will happen when you organize your home. one book says that if you

she told the business insider website that some of her clients have lost weight. “your self-perception is improved by living in a clean and neat room,” she said. “this can change lifestyles and, in turn, appearances.”marie kondo teaches a method of organizing she calls konmari. it is more of an event or ceremony. this is the part that followers say makes it more lasting. ms. kondo says konmari creates a different relationship between you and your possessions. if the object meant something to you or served you well, you thank it for its service before throwing or giving it away. in her book, ms. kondo suggests that you touch the item and ask one simple question: does it bring me joy? 40 if it doesnt, you give it away so that it may give joy to someone else.a. her book is a best-seller around the worldb. marie kondo makes some of the same claimsc. on the contrary, marie kondo disagrees with it.d. unnecessary things just take up too much space in your home.e. if it doesnt, you give it away so that it may give joy to someone else.f. another book says that if you make clutter disappear, you will also lose weight.g. when you put your house in order, you put your affairs and your past in order too.第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节, 满分45分)第一节 完形填空 (共20小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分30分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中, 选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 its a blessing to do somebody a favor, but sometimes its a
