i have a wonderful job, a happy family, and so much to be thankful for. so how come i spend all my time working? last summer my family took our first vacation in four years, the best thing ive done for myself and my family in a long time. this year, im making sure to take time to enjoy life and celebrate its many blessings.do you have any words for 2014?21the underlined word “multitasker” probably refers to a person who .a. makes a living by writingb. always fails to finish a task on timec. has several things to do at the same timed. pays more attention to fitness and housekeeping22why does the writer have “health” as one of his three words?a. he wants to take better care of others.b. hes gaining weight and feeling bad.c. he did not take any exercise in the past.d. he got the idea from his son.23what can we learn from the passage?a. the word “celebrate” can remind the writer to enjoy life.b. the writer has a vacation with his family every four years.c. the word “focus” can help the writer focus on his family.d. the writer used to be overweight for lack of exercise. b do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact? do you argue whether its cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit? if you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. the first blind man who felt the elephants trunk said it was like a snake. the second who felt the elephants side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animals tusk(长牙). the fourth, who had hold of the elephants tail insisted that it was like a rope. the fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arm around one of the elephants legs.the sixth, who was tall and got hold of the elephants ears, said it was like a huge fan. each mans idea of the animal came from his own experience. so if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, its often because his experience in the matter is different from yours. to see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. get three large bowls. put ice water in one. put hot water in the second. put lukewarm（不冷不热的） water in the third. now put your left hand in the ice water. put your right hand in the hot water. after thirty seconds, put both hands in the lukewarm water. your right hand will tell you the water is cold. your left hand will tell you its hot !24. what makes people think about simple facts differently ? a. the fact that simple facts differ from one another b.the fact that people have different experience in the same simple fact c. the fact that people often disagree with one another d. the fact that its hard to make up ones mind about simple facts25. the writers advice is _. a. we should never think about simple facts b. we should never judge something with a one-sided view c. we should not agree about simple facts d. we must learn from the six blind men26. what do you think of the six blind man? a. they are the examples of those who look on things only from one side. b. they are skilled at exploring different things. c. they are all experts in studying elephant. d. they are the examples of those who always refuse to trust friends.27. after reading the last paragraph, we may think of _. a. newtons law b. galileos theory of falling objects c. einsteins theory of relativity d. marxs theory on capital (资本) c regardless of their family background, the childrens reactions to new environments have struck the public. in one episode of dad! , the five-year-old daughter of former olympic diving champion tian liang cries and hides behind her father when they arrive at a rural village. in an episode of the other series, a young girl in tianjin breaks down into a tearful fit after being asked by her father to go out alone to buy eggs and a pancake. in the eyes of some observers, these kids show no sense of independence, and the reason is put down to parents who are overly sheltering. but television viewers and parents were heartened when the sobbing tianjin girl finally wiped away her tears as she returned holding the pancake. in the case of tians daughter, she eventually began to take care of her younger companions and learned to seek help from people she didnt know. the father of the tianjin girl felt “delightfully shocked” and said. “she used to have to be accompanied by her mother or grandmother. now she has the courage to do it all by herself. ” the shows have led many parents to change how they raise their children. shanghai mother liang jing said she would try to “give some training” to her shy son, asking him to tidy up his toys. lin yi, a parenting expert in beijing, said giving kids a chance to do things for themselves helps to raise their sense of achievement, which carries benefits throughout their lives. ”28. what attracts the audiences eyes in the programs?a. what the kids family background is like. b. where childrens real comfort zone is.c. how children react to new environments. d. why those children are independent. 29. what is tian liangs daughter expected to do in the show?a. go out to buy something alone. b. hide in a safe place to avoid a danger.c. make friends with strange adults. d. live in a rural village with her father. 30. it can be inferred from the underline words “delightfully shocked” that . a. father is more important than mother in a family b. children deserve a chance to be independent c. parents should provide a safe environment d. the children are as fragile as parents expected31. the shows are bound to raise a wave of discussion about . a. protecting good traditions b. the social safety c. approaches to parenting d. the influence of tv programmesdwhy doesnt anybody copy apple?apples products are the envy of the world. they have been spectacularly successful and are widely imitated, if not copied. the minute apple crystallizes a product, everyone knows how to competethis idea that the basis of competition is set by apple and then the race is on to climb the path of improvement is unquestionablewhen apple releases a product that defines a category or dramatically changes the structure of an industry, it becomes obvious what needs to be built. but what i wonder is why everyone wants to copy apples products but nobody wants to copy being apple?i can think of two reasons. firstly, apple is not worth copying because its not successful; secondly, apples success cannot be copied because it is a magical processthere is a great deal of evidence for the first hypothesis. the idea of apple being successful is not something reflected in its stock pricebeing valued lower than the average company in the s&p（标准普尔）500 indicates that to whatever degree apple was successful in the past, its not seen by the vast majority of observers as successful in the futurewhy should one bother copying apple if it results in being punished with a low valuation? if one works really hard at innovation and then that innovation becomes commoditized（商品化）very quickly, why should one bother?when innovation practitioners are asked what makes apple successful, the answers regarding the cause of this success border on the mythical. the climax of this hypothesis is the “chief-sorcerer” theory of success which places one magician, like steve jobs, in charge of casting all the right spells（符咒）what about apples own opinion of what makes it tick? tim cook refers to a great team and integration of hardware, software and services as unique apple advantages. its a better explanationintegration is something that can take a long time, but it is possible with great efforta few companies are starting to make moves in that direction, but efforts are half-heartedthere is no “move the earth” panic to become an integrated company from samsung, google or microsoftmy own suspicion is that apple is more aware of what makes it special than it lets out however, as tim points out, its not a formulaits complex, its subtle, but its not magicits a process that requires a degree of faith and courage32when a new product of apple comes out, often it _aruins an industry dramaticallybstarts a revolution of an industrycputs itself in an unbeatable positiondis soon overtaken by imitated products33according to the passage, other companies dont “copy being apple” because _.a. apple is not a successful companyb. they have no access to relevant resourcesc. its hard to find a magician like steve jobsdbeing apple takes more than time and efforts34we can infer from para. 5 that _aother companies are dedicated to integrationbapple itself is fully aware of its unique advantagescapple will hold the leading position in this industrydother companies dont have a great team as apple does35what does the author think of tim cooks statement?aacceptable bdisappointing cunquestionable dconvincing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。tips for cooking on a tight schedulefrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people dont cook more often: ability, money and time. 36 . money is a topic ill save for another day. so today i want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:1. think ahead. the moments when i think cooking is a pain are when im already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. so think about of the coming week. when will you have time to cook? do you have the right materials ready? 37 2. make your time worth it. when you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. are you making one loaf of bread? 38 it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. so save yourself the effort for a future meal. 3. 39 this may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation.（实验、尝试） it gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes（烹饪法） that can work well with your appetite and schedule. the more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule. hopefully that gives you a good start. 40 and dont let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!a. try new things. b. ability is easily improved. c. make three or four instead. d. understand your food better. e. cooking is a burden for many people. f. let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden. g. a little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on. 第三部分：语言知识运用（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，掌握其大意，然后从3655各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。a man hired a taxi outside the airfield.the cab had a woolen carpet with 41 lace（花边、蕾丝） edges. on the glass partition（隔板） that 42 the drivers seat was a copy of a famous painting.its windows were all clean.the customer was very much 43 and said to the driver，“ive never seen a nicer 44 .”“thank you for your praise.”the driver answered 45 .“the car isnt mine,” said the driver. “it belongs to the company.i used to be a 46 of cabs.when they returned, all of them were as 47 as garbage cans with cigarette butts and rubbish 48 here and there.on the seats and door-handles could be found something _49_ like peanut sauce or chewing gum. why so? i thought if the car itself were very clean the passengers would most 50 be considerate and refrain（克制、避免） from littering.”“so when i got a 51 to be a taxi-driver, i began 52 my idea into practice-to tidy and 53 the car. now before a new passenger gets on my car，id make a check and be sure it is in good order. when my car 54 after a days work, it always remains 55 .”when doing a thing, one makes efforts and wants to see the result. to change others, one has to make twice the 56 but get half the result. to change oneself is the other way round-more fruit with less effort. one had better ask oneself why one makes _57_ on others much more than on oneself. _ 58_ you take enough care to do as best as you can for other peoples sake, your efforts will yield results. if you 59 the inner world of your own, examine yourself and wipe out the dust and dirt, instead of fixing your eyes on other people, you will find a cheerful 60 for yourself and create a pleasant environment for others.41.a.ugly b.excitingc.brilliantd.favorite42.a.separated b.covered c.protected d.prevented43.a.moved b.annoyed c.disappointed d.surprised44.a.seat b.carpet c.garage d.cab45. a.naturally b.smilingly c.hopefully d.firmly46.a.driver b.cleaner c.repairerd.customer47.a.attractive b.pleasant c.dirtyd.clean48.a.spread b.extended c.dottedd.1eft49.a.funny b.busyc.stickyd.clumsy50.a.likely b.willinglyc.extremely d.regularly51.a.permit b.1icense c.certificate d.passport52.a.put b.take c.make d.get53.a.provide b.drive c.decorate d.describe54.a.speeds b.leaves c.arrives d.returns55.a.clean b.pretty c.brightd.dirty56.a.progress b.effort c.attempt d.trial57.a.suggestionsb.comments c.demands d.decisions58.a.thou
