By 2050, there will be about 1 million Amish living in the country. Over half of all Amish settlements in the US were founded after 1990. Today, there are about a quarter of a million Amish living in the US and Canada. One of the reasons for this situation is that the Amish has the highest birth rate in the country. They raise their children strictly according to religious values and their family traditions are not broken. However, as their farmland is getting limited, more and more Amish people are forced to change the way they live and adopt a new lifestyle. Especially the young Amish people are leaving their traditional home states and are moving west where land is still abundant(充足的).Today, more and more Amish people are looking for alternative ways of making a living. Raising cows and sheep is simply no longer enough to survive. They start to open up small businesses. Some have even started Internet-based shops, which is a far cry from the typical Amish tradition. More than half of Amish people earn money from work outside agriculture. Though they still have horses at home, they use modern technology at work.Many have become very successful and their businesses are developing fast. Studies show they work harder than others and that the rate of failure is much lower than that of non-Amish companies. Amish teenagers are also forced to look for work outside agriculture. This means more income for the family, but it also means they break their tradition.24. The first paragraph mainly talks about _.A. the rapid population growth of the Amish B. how the Amish becomes a religious groupC. the problems the Amish people have to faceD. where the early Amish people were found25. What causes the Amish to change their lifestyle?A. The appeal of modern life. B. The limited farmland. C. Their religious values. D. Their successful businesses.26. The underlined phrase “a far cry from” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “_”.A. under control of B. very useful to C. very different from D. in charge of.27 Which of the following can best describe the Amish?A. Honest. B. Easy-going. C. Lucky. D. Hard-working.CStudies show farmland in Africa is often lacking in important nutrients. But researchers say a combination of farming methods may help.Researchers wonder how to increase production without necessarily clearing more land to grow additional crops. American researchers say that can happen with greater use of an agricultural system called perenniation. It mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants-those that return year after year.Soil scientist John Reganold says, “One of the major problems is that the soils are fairly poor in most of the regions. So how do you grow food on poor soils? There have to be food production systems that can build the soil and improve the yield.”Mr. Reganold says poor soil may have resulted from years of weathering that washed away many nutrients. He says some farmers may have done more harm than good.“They have been actually using farming practices where theyre not putting in organic matter. Theyre not putting in fertilizers. They cant afford those things. And it just runs the soil down. So theyre worsening the situation.”The scientist says the word perenniation defines three systems that are already used in Africa. The oldest of the three is called evergreen agriculture. This is where farmers plant threes with their crops. Farmers in Africa have been doing this for sixty years, but it seems to be growing in popularity.The method is gaining widespread use in countries such as Niger, Burkina Faso, Malawi and Zambia. The trees are planted among maize(玉米), millet or sorghum crops. They not only add nitrogen (氮) to the soil through their root, but also through their leaves when they fall off and break down. At other times of the year, the trees can protect plants from strong sunlight.John Reganold says he knows of one woman who has had great success with perenniation.“She is a grandmother in her fifties. Her name is Rboda Mang yana and she started using this system about twenty years ago. And her yields initially were about a ton of maize. Now with a good year she gets four tons per hectare, four times what she was getting.”28. The purpose of the passage is to _.A. tell people how to increase productionB. introduce the oldest farming method in AfricaC. introduce an agricultural system in AfricaD. tell us how to prevent soil from being poor29. What does the underlined word “weathering” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A. Being ploughed improperly.B. Being exposed to wind and rain.C. Growing different crops.D. Being polluted severely.30. According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?A. Perenniation mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants.B. American researchers first invented perenniation.C. Poor soil is the main problem in increasing food production.D. Farmers may be more to blame for the present situation.31. Why does John Reganold mention Rhoda Mangs yana?A. To prove the farming method is effective.B. Because she is an expert at farming production.C. To show the method is very popular in Africa.D. Because she produced more grains than anyone else in the country.DApples new model iPhone 6s includes Touch ID sensor (指纹传感器), which allows users to unlock their phones with their fingerprints. Thieves might cut off victims fingertips to gain access to phones equipped with a fingerprint reader, an expert has warned.In September, Apple launched its iPhone 6s, which includes the Touch ID sensor on the devices home button that reads your fingerprint in order to unlock your phone. Marc Rogers said the sensors can provide a convenient way to unlock phones while also increasing security.But they have led criminals to commit more robberies and even chop off phone- owners fingertips, the chief researcher at mobile security firm Lookout claimed.“Cheaters have also succeeded in lifting and duplicating (复制) prints with technology that is only going to improve with time,” he added. “Thieves in some regions have worked out that you can force a victim to unlock a secured device, and in some extreme cases have also attacked victims to mutilate their hands and steal their fingerprints.”The hi-tech scanners are said to work best when combined with a pin code or another security feature. “Fingerprints can be a useful addition to security but their value depends highly on the type of fingerprint reader and how it is being used-for example, the best use of a fingerprint is to provide a convenient way to unlock something in a way to low security scenario. Mr. Rogers said. “Unlocking a device with a fingerprint, if done right, can be much more convenient than entering a pin code multiple times a day.” However, is this really something to worry about? Criminals have never been too bad about removing parts of other peoples bodies, although this is usually done after a murder to prevent identification. Kidnappers (绑架者) have learned that there is no simpler way to concentrate the mind of a victims family.32. We can infer from the first paragraph that _.A. Touch ID in iPhone 6s can allow everyone to use different fingerprintsB. thieves might bring new dangers to owners of iPhone 6sC. people are suggested not buying iPhone 6sD. the Touch ID sensor is on the devices home button33. What is the meaning of the underlined word “mutilate” in the fourth paragraph?A. take away B. break up C. cut off D. get through 34. The hi-tech scanners can work best when_.A. helped by experienced engineersB. entered long and complex passwordsC. used by all new phone usersD. combined with a pin code or another security feature 35. In which column of the website can we find the article?A. Technology. B. Travel. C. Business. D. Sports. 第二节.

A good way to begin this process is by asking yourself some tough questions.1. What can I learn from this?Take responsibility for what went wrong. OK, so it was not all your fault -but some of it was. Successful people dont make excuses or blame others. 37 So you should look at the experience objectively (客观地).2. Do I need to acquire or improve some skills?Did the problem reveal the lack of skills on your part? How could you learn or improve those skills? Perhaps there are books or courses or people you could turn to. 38 3. Who can I learn from?Is there someone to whom you can turn for advice? Did a boss, colleague or friend see what happened? 39 Most people do not ask for help because they believe it to be a sign of weakness rather than strength. Its not. It shows that you are ready to learn and change.4. What will I do next?Now draw up an action plan. Will you try something similar or something different? Revisit your goals. Failure doesnt mean you have to give up; maybe you just need to change it in another way. _40 A. Make a self-development plan to acquire the skills and experience you need.B. In fact the only way to avoid failure is to do nothing new.C. Make them stepping stones to future success.D. If they are constructive and supportive then ask them for some feedback and guidance.E They take responsibility for the failure.F. You can now reset your sights on your destination and plan a new course.G. The important thing is how we deal with failure.第三部分. 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分)第一节（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从题中所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Perhaps what we like most about the successful man who has a sense of humor is that he doesnt seem to take himself too 41 . The average person expects the man in a powerful 42 to be too vain and self-centered. “Walt Dizzy is just a plain, ordinary guy. Its absolutely amazing,” Harvey tells his friends, “Hes really not different from any one of us. Boy, Ill tell you, success didnt spoil him.” 43 it was Walt Dizzys aptitude(才能) for making the people around him feel 44 that relaxed everyone who met him and gave people the impression that hes “one of the boys”.Its always a surprise and a 45 when people discover that successful individuals are basically not different from anyone else. The majority of people 46 highly successful men and women to be very solemn and earnest because they 47 such big decisions. An executive who has a relaxed 48 and good sense of humor leaves a favorable impression. Youve undoubtedly often heard someone say, 49 discussing one of these tycoons(大人物), “I can identify with him.” The party who makes the remark has absolutely 50 in common with the tycoons, but the 51 atmosphere, not the man himself, becomes the means of identification.Greeting someone 52 whom you are about to do business with a warm smile is the best way to introduce yourself. People cant 53 immediately liking such an individual. He seems humble, and theyre impressed with his informal manner. They notice his “human side,” and he 54 them over at once. People want to cooperate with this kind of man. A 55 first meeting sets the stage beautifully for the formal discussions.On the other hand, theres the humorless, dull type who turns you completely 56 . Stanley Shtick, president of a large food company, is a good 57 . “He is the coldest fish Ive 58 met,” says Zelda Zoftik, “You would think he was the King of England, the way he acts,” she 59 . “The longer it is before I meet with him again, the 60 .”41.Asimply Bhighly Cseriously Deasily42.Asituation Btradition Clocation Dposition43.ANaturally BActually CGradually DEventually44.Acomfortable Bconscious Cnervous Dreliable45.Apressure Brelief Cpleasure Dshock46.Awant Bhope Cexpect Dthink47.Ado Btake Ccarry Dmake48.Apersonality Bsmile Cfigure Dshape
