He has been a plane model fan since childhood. As a freshman, he spent two nights building a model aircraft and took it to the sports field just for fun. Wu Junqi, the coach of Shanghai Jiaotong Universitys Aero-Sport Club, spotted Wang and told him his model was outdated. “I was a little angry, so he took me to the lab,” says Wang. He was immediately drawn to the modern equipment and decided to join the club. As a technology fan, Wang spends most of his spare time in the lab. “He loves what hes doing, so he can stand the loneliness of doing research that others seldom have the persistence to carry out,” says coach Wu. When Wang and his teammates were building UAV, they lived together in the lab. “We tried to spend as much time together as possible because there were thousands of problems that needed to be solved,” Wang says. They didnt even have time to celebrate when the first test flight of the UAV went well. “We needed to list the problems that occurred during the flight and analyze them to find solutions,” he says. “Our UAV isnt finished yet, but there are many design projects and people with similar interests waiting for me,” Wang says. “The UAV is just the beginning, not the end of my aircraft journey.”21.

Actions speak louder than words.BFive years after a NASA satellite to track carbon dioxide fell into the ocean after taking off, the space agency is launching another almost exactly like it this time on a different rocket.The $468 million mission(任务) is designed to study the main driver of climate change resulting from smokestacks (烟囱). Some of the carbon dioxide is absorbed by trees and oceans, and the rest rises into the atmosphere, trapping the suns heat and warming the planet. But atmospheric CO2 levels fluctuate with the seasons and in different regions of the Earth. The natural and human activities that cause the changes are complicated. The Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2, or OCO-2 for short, will be able to take a detailed look at most of the Earths surface to identify places responsible for producing or absorbing the greenhouse gas. This will allow us to understand what processes are controlling how much carbon is absorbed in a given time and place, Anna Michalak, a scientist at the Carnegie Institution for Science, who is not part of the mission, said in an email. The mission, designed to last two years, could provide data that will help scientists make predictions about future carbon dioxide levels and their influence.NASA suffered a major scientific and financial disaster in 2009 when a rocket carrying the original satellite fell into the waters off Antarctica minutes after rising from Vandenberg Air Force Base along the central California coast. After the loss, engineers built a near-identical twin that was set to launch before dawn Tuesday. Instead of using the same rocket, the replacement will be flown on a Delta 2, a workhorse booster (主力助推器) that once faced a dark future. 25. What does the underlined word “fluctuate” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Increase B. Vary C. Drop D. Improve26. From the second paragraph we can know_. A. the natural activities causing the climate changes are simpleB. Anna Michalak is a scientist who takes part in the taskC. most of the carbon dioxide is absorbed by trees and oceansD. OCO-2 will help scientists predict future CO2 levels in the atmosphere27. What caused the failure to the first satellite launch?A. Operation error. B. Bad weather. C. Poor preparation. D. Problems of the rocket.28. Whats the main idea of the text? A. A NASA satellite to track carbon dioxide plunged into the ocean.B. CO2 levels are different in different regions.C. NASA suffered a major scientific and financial disaster in 2009.D. NASA will give global warming satellite second try CStudents are basing their research for business school on their network of contacts, skills and knowledge to acquire and the brand value associated to it.

In work, we are often called to think. Sometimes, its good to give our brains a rest. Without a break, we may not be able to perform up to our potential. This can be a problem, not only for the employee, but for the employer as well. “The main benefit of vacation is for the worker to come back energized,” says Weaver. “If they havent had a break, then theyre not coming back with new energy. They havent had a chance to step back and get perspective（远景）, and come back with renewed enthusiasm.” Long working hours without a break, insecurity（不安）about ones job, and other work-related worries can lead to burnout and stress. Humans can usually adapt to pressure, but not for a limitless amount of time. “It is a problem of relating good workers and having them loyal to the firm while theyre there,” says David Maume, PhD, professor of sociology at the University of Cincinnati. He says burnout can also affect employees productivity, creativity, and effectiveness. In addition, high levels of stress are likely to be precursors (前兆) to depression, which can hit both the employer and employees pocketbook. Even people who manager to remain productive at work can have problems. If theyre always at work, then theyre not with their family and friends. If theyre working while on vacation, for the time that theyre on the job, theyre not really present. An unbalanced emphasis on work can strain family and social life. When you come up for air, you may see that youre alone, or that your relationships have gone on without you.32. Whats the main benefit of a vacation? A. The manager can be more creative. B. The worker can step back and get more excited C. The worker can come back with new energy. D. The worker can adapt to pressure much better.33.

How to spend the vacation effectively. B. Why the workers need a vacation. C. How to deal with the daily pressure. D. Why the workers need new energy. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The revision period is, arguably, the most difficult part of any exam process.
