ended up choosing to study electrical engineering in college.Several engineering jobs later,though,Ma had a change of heart.He wanted to enter the restaurant business.It was in his blood.After a11,his parents had owned a Chinese restaurant in Arkansas.His uncle also owned one in New York.Ma has a clear memory of when he decided to open his own restaurant.His parents could not understand why he would leave such a good job to open a restaurant.But Ma remained certain.He was going to do things different from his parents.He was able to learn from their one major mistake as restaurant ownersthey knew very little about the art of cooking.“My parents knew nothing about cooking or owning a restaurant,so they could only let their excellent chef start to go across the street and open a Chinese restaurant and it really put my parents in a bad situation.”So,at age 30,Ma decided to return to a cooking school named International Culinary Center.Then he received training in French cooking.He wanted to study the fundamentals of cooking so that he could work as a chef in his own restaurant.He originally didnt know anything about cooking.Never cooked through his entire life up until this point.Ma soon learned that he enjoyed cooking.He discovered it was similar to engineering.“Professional cooking is consistency,efficiency,cleanliness and its all about the process of things which you know my background in engineering was,”said Ma.In 2009,Ma opened his first restaurant in Virginia.It is called Maple Avenue,which serves American cuisine.At Maple Avenue,Ma did everything,and he worked long hours,seven days a week.His long hours paid off.Ma opened his fourth restaurant last year,Kyirisan in Washington,D.C.He mixes his training in French cooking with his Chinese heritage to create new dishes.Kyirisans success is due to the creative menu and food,Ma says.“I think you can create your own success,just by working hard.Not because youre smarter than anybody,not because youre more creative than anybody,just by working hard.”24.Why did Ma want to open his own restaurant?A.He felt it difficult to be an engineer.B.He had to help his parents support his family.C.He was greatly influenced by his family.D.His parents and his uncle all owned restaurants in New York.25.What made his parentsbusiness poor?A.They lacked the professional management.B.They were cheated by their

cookers.C.Necessary skills.D.General steps.27.What is the key factor for Mas final success?A.His being smarter than anybody else.B.His hard work and great effort.C.The places he chose for his restaurants.D.The help from his parents and his wife.CEvery year between May and September,all 54 employees of Basecamp,a Chicagobased web applications company,work a short week:just four daysa total of 32 hours.They work a conventional five-day week the rest of the year.“Thats plenty of time to get great work done.This is all we expect and all we want from people,”says Jason Fried,co-founder.“Working 60 or 70 hours is unnecessary.In fact,if you have to work 60 or 70 hours a week,theres a management problem.”The companys summer workload must fit reduced hours,Mr.Fried insists,otherwise the benefits of a shorter weekto recover from work,enjoy time with family and pursue outside interestswould be undone.His thought chimes with new research that finds it is not just long hours that are harmful to employees physical and mental health.It is also the intensity of worktight deadlines and an unrelated pace.Moreover,it suggests that intense work harms career prospects.That is because long hours and intensity reduce the quality of the work.The study,to be published in the Industrial and Labor Relations Review,concludes that the level of intensity we apply to the work we do is generally“a stronger predictor of unfavourable outcomes than overtime work”.The researchers,Argyro Avgoustaki,assistant professor of management at ESCP Europe and Hans Frankort,senior lecturer in strategy at Cass Business School,compared people in similar jobs and education levels,and found they were more likely to suffer poorer wellbeing and low career prospects,including satisfaction,security and promotion,when they worked at an intense level for long periods.28.What can we learn about the company?A.Working 32 hours is unnecessary.B.There is a management problem.C.Its summer workload is suitable for its shorter hours.D.Its employees work a four-day week conventionally.29.What does the underlined phrase“chime with”in paragraph 4 mean?A.Contribute to.B.Consist withC.Deal withD.Go against.30.What are harmful to employees health according to Mr.Fried?A.Career prospects and intensity.B.Tight deadlines and reduced hours.C.Long hours and intensity.D.Career prospects and poorer well-being.31.From which is the text probably taken?A.A health magazine.B.A biology textbook.C.A culture report.D.A travel brochure.DIt is perhaps unsurprising that a study started and funded by the wool industry would conclude that wool is the best material to sleep in.The study,by the University of Sydney,has found that wearing wool pyjamas(睡衣)over cotton can result in up to 15 minutes extra sleep.Wool,apparently,regulates body temperature better and keeps our bodies in the“warm comfort zone”for betterquality sleep.Wool has also been called a“superfibre”thanks to its drying functions(especially useful for those who suffer night sweats),which is the selling point.The National Sleep Foundation,a US nonprofit,lists wool among its recommended materials to sleep in.It also promotes silk,which it calls a “the regulator”, but warns it might be“slippery”as well as expensive.According to a survey last autumn,40%of adults in the UK wear pyjamas in bed,20%wear underwear and a third wear nothing.But guess what? That survey was also conducted by the wool industry to push its products.So,basically,the wool industry wants us to just follow everything they say,like sheep.It is well known that worrying has a negative impact on our ability to sleep,so perhaps not stressing too much about pyjama material is the best advice.Then again,perhaps there is something else to worry aboutskincare experts are trying to persuade us that cotton pillowcases cause wrinkles because of friction.The National Health Service doesnt seem to care about pyjama material,however.Its sleep health guidance includes a room temperature of between 18and 24,thick curtains to increase darkness and keeping tech in other parts of the house.So wear what you wantthe advice that also applies when youre awake.32.What is mainly talked about in the first two paragraphs?A.The introduction of the wool industry. B.The disadvantages of a super-fibre.C.The scientific ways of sleeping. D.The advantages of wool pajamas.33.What can we infer from the third paragraph?A.The survey conducted by the wool industry is not correct.B.Most people wear pyjamas in bed in the UK.C.The purpose of the survey is to advertise.D.We believe what the wool industry say.34.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Pyjamas material shouldnt be stressed too much.B.People should wear wool pyjamas in bed.C.Curtains should be made of woo1.D.People should use cotton pillowcases.35.Whats the writers attitude towards pyjamas?A.Uninterested.B.Objective. C.Ambiguous. D.Doubtful.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。 .For many people,the college admissions process can seem mysterious.36_.Schools present what they want in the form of big data.That information is available to anyone online.Students can use big data when seeking admission to colleges or universities where they will be strong candidates.This increases their chances for admission and financial aid.37_.Use data to find the best fitColleges provide admissions and financial aid statistics.The information can be found by searching for the colleges name and the term“common data set”or at websites for comparing colleges.And knowing about the students who were accepted can help applicants.38_.Target schools that want youInformation about how a school examines applicants can be found in the data sets“admissions factors”.They show how each school rates the measures of admission,everything from class rank to after school activities.Many schools,for example,think the difficulty of an applicants high school classes and their grade point average are“very important.”39_.“Level of applicants interest”is another issue. 40_Most U.S.colleges do not fully meet the financial needs of their students,even when federal student loans are considered.The size of a students need depends on how willing each school is to give them money.Cost is important,say most experts.They warn that while it is important to have a college education,you do not want to finish school with a large debt.A.Avoid schools that do not give much moneyB.But what college admissions officials want is not a secretC.Here is what college applicants should look forD.Get true evidence of interest from applicantsE.Some schools consider standardized tests as important while others do notF.The scholarship is widely provided for college students in the United StatesG.By doing so,the applicants can focus on more suitable schools 笫三部分 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，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Early in Thanksgiving week,I told the eight-year-olds in my class about my plan.“Id like all of you to do extra jobs to buy food for someone who 41 might not have a nice dinner.”I wanted the children to take action and see that its more 42 to give than to receive.The kids arrived in class 43 their hard-earned money and couldnt wait to go shopping.When we 44 toward the checkout,pushing a cart filled with turkey and all the decorations,someone 45 some flowers that sent them racing.I pronounced,“You cant eat flowers.It was more 46 to use any extra money to buy some flour.”“Flowers!”Kristine cried.The group hurried toward the holiday plants.Defeated.I 47 at good-sized plants before us.But 48 in the middle was a pot of purple roses.“Shell like them,”the children 49 .An agency had given us the name and address of a 50 grandmother.Soon we were 51 to her house.The atmosphere in the bus was absolutely not spiritual.Between the noise and those purple flowers,I wasnt sure that any 52 about giving and receiving was getting through.When Amy put the roses on the table,the woman seemed 53 .She was wishing it was a bag of flour,I thought.As we 54 our seat belts returning,we could see her kitchen window.The woman 55 waved goodbye,and then walked past the turkey,past the 56 ,straight to the roses.She put her face in their flowers.When she 57 her head,there was a smile on her lips.She was 58 before our eyes.The children were quiet.In that brief moment,they had seen for themselves the power they 59 to make anothers life better.And I had seen something too.This wonder had been created not by adult 60 but by youthful enthusiasm.41.A.thereforeB.howeverC.moreoverD.otherwise42.A.blessedB.occupiedC.abandonedD.interested43.A.challengingB.graspingC.wonderingD.admitting44.A.headedB.turnedC.jumpedD.rolled45.A.observedB.watchedC.spottedD.adopted46.A.specialB.reasonableC.responsibleD.automatic47.A.glaredB.pointedC.shoutedD.approached48.A.dressedB.foldedC.lostD.stuck49.A.agreedB.whisperedC.questionedD.quarrelled50.A.mercifulB.gloriousC.powerfulD.needy51.A.continuingB.planningC.bouncingD.managing52.A.painB.lessonC.natureD.art53.A.surprisedB.disturbedC.embarrassedD.concerned54.A.widenedB.fastenedC.1engthenedD.enlarged55.A.insideB.belowC.nearbyD.outdoors56.A.opportunitiesB.expectationsC.choicesD.decorations57.A.touchedB.droppedC.shookD.raised58.A.transformedB.multipl
