Instead, he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18. He works for a small firm in Liverpool, where most young people of his age are finding jobs. Davids biggest headache is what to do with his money. Though he has high payment, he cannot drive a car, or get credit cards(信用卡). David got his job four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels(普通成绩) and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs, ” he said. “I suppose 35, 000 sounds a lot but I hope it will come to more than that this year.” He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 20 a week as he lives with his parents. But most of his spare time is spent working. “Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school, ” he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway. I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement(退休) is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.” 21. Why is David so different from other young people of his age? A. He earns an extremely high paymentB. He has got a jobC. He lives at home with his parentsD. He does not go out much22. Davids greatest problem is that _. A. he cant be treated as an adult by the bank B. he doesnt make as many games as he wishesC. he doesnt know what to buy with the money D. he is too young to drive a car23. He was employed by the company because _. A. he had worked in a computer shop B. he had written some computer programsC. he is clever and works hard at his lessons D. he had learnt to use computers at school24. He left school after taking six O-levels because _. A. he was afraid of getting too old to start computing B. he did not enjoy schoolC. he wanted to work with computers D. he wanted to earn a lot of moneyBDecember 15, 2014Dear Alfred，I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150+ at 17, Im anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldnt. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, Im learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your videos. This has given me a purpose.Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the jobData Analystthis month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.Thank you. Youve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because Im doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.This is why youre saving my life.Yours,Tanis25. Why didnt Tanis go to college after high school?A. She had learned enough about computer science.B. She had more difficulty keeping focused.C. She preferred taking online courses.D. She was too slow to learn.26.

Tanis wrote this letter in order to _.A. explain why she was interested in the computerB. share the ideas she had for her profession C. show how grateful she was to the centerD. describe the courses she had taken so farCA few years ago, a company called Space Marketing came up with a plan to send a milelong advertisement into space. To advertising agencies (机构), it would have been “a dream come true”. However, advertising standards agencies finally decided not to allow Space Marketing to go ahead with their plans and they were forced to give them up.Space may indeed be the final place for advertisers, because on Earth we are already surrounded by advertising wherever we are and whatever we are doing. Apart from the obvious adverts that we see every day on TV, and in newspapers and magazines, there is a whole other world of advertising messages for our attention .There are ads that we see on the side of the bus we catch to work, for example. And what about the logos (商标) we see on the clothing of the people we walk past in the streets?Most of the time, we are probably not even aware of (意识到的) these less obvious advertising methods, but that doesnt mean that they dont work. Take product placement, for example. You are in a cinema, watching the latest Hollywood movie. Look carefully at the make of car your favorite actor is driving. And what about his watch? Can you see what brand it is? Chances are, you can, and the company that owns the brand is likely to have paid thousands for it to appear in the film.So, whether Space Marketing finally succeeds in sending ads into space or not is perhaps less important than it might seem. This would not change a thing. Our everyday lives are already strongly influenced by advertising whether we realize it or not.28. What happened to the plan of sending an ad into space?A. It came to nothing.B. It was a dream come true.C. It had to wait a few years before it was carried out.D. It was supported by the advertising standards agencies.29. How does the author explain the “other world” of advertising messages?A. By showing research findings B. By explaining research findings C. By giving instructions D. By using examples30. As a form of advertising , product placement .A. costs a little B. doesnt work C. is less obvious than TV ads D. mainly appears in Hollywood movies31. What does the author suggest at the end of the text？A. We live in a world of advertising. B. Weve changed a lot because of advertising.C. Space Marketing leads in the advertising industry.D. Space ads will mark the beginning of a new world. D Another ReasonIt was a quiet village in which there was a military camp. It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldnt work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they were all drunk. Of course they found the officer was angry.“Im sorry, sir,” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.”And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldiers turn. He said, “Im sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but”Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, “If you say something was wrong with your bus, Ill punish you at once!”“No, no, sir,” said the young man. “My bus was all right, but the dead horses were in its way!”32. The military camp was built in the village to _. A. stop the soldiers going to townsB. stop the soldiers meeting their friendsC. train the new soldiersD. make the young men live quietly33.Mr. Hunt let the nine soldiers have a holiday because _. A. he was kind to themB. they felt lonelyC. they had something important to doD. they were the best of all34. The young officer was worried because _. A. a traffic accident had happenedB. he was afraid something happened to the nine soldiersC. the nine soldiers didnt come back on timeD. the nine soldiers drank too much in the town35.

Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 37 As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why arent we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 38 No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 39 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well. 40 For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, well continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.AIt all depends on your character.BThose are the risks you should jump to take.CBeing better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.DThus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.EThis is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.FHowever, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.GNew brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.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，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。My dad always collected coins.
