10、ant keep the items after getting a refund. BMy family and I never talked about school as the ticket to a future. I was in the classrooms, but I wasnt there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to hide. I was 13 years old, but I already hated being who I was.I

11、had an English teacher, Mr. Creech, who knew I couldnt read. In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed. But at the same time, it made me realize that I needed to change the situation. I was determined it wouldnt hap

12、pen again. Later that day, Mr. Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read. From then on, I never gave up practicing reading.Now I was 41 years old. One day, I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friends and family. On my way from the airport, I saw Mr. Cree

13、ch buying himself a drink. I rushed over and reached into my pocket to pay for him. “Do I know you?” he asked. “Yes, sir, you do know me,” I answered excitedly. “My name is Anthony Hamilton. You taught me English.” The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy hed once encouraged.“Im so gl

14、ad I had a chance to see you,” I said. “And Mr. Creech, I have great news to share.” I told him I had learned to read. But that wasnt all. I had become a published author and an active speaker. “The next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom, please encourage him to read as well,”

15、I added. The experts say what once worried me has a name: dyslexia (诵读困难症). But I can tell you it was a lack of desire for education. 24. Why did the author want to hide?A.

18、d an active speaker.C. Dyslexia was the underlying reason that made the author unable to read. D. The author was grateful to Mr. Creech. CA team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of ne

19、w high-tech integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“Its extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bun

20、ch of individual components,” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually no

21、ne of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of whi

22、ch individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything its connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can

23、 be built and manufactured.While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers fields or on the battlefield. “Basically, it shoul

24、d be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer ope

25、n scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.” 28. Which of the followi

26、ng statements was the difficulty engineers met while making the robotic fly? A. They did not have sufficient fund. B. No ready-made components were available. C. There was no model in their mind.D. It was hard for them to assemble the components.29. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4? A. T

27、he robotic fly has been put into wide application. B. The robotic fly consists of a flight device and a control system. C. Information from many sources can be collected by the robotic fly. D. The robotic fly can just fly in limited areas at present.30. Which of the following can be learned from the

28、 passage? A. Woods design can replace animals in some experiments. B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments. C. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects. D. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.31. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A

29、. The Development of Robotic FlyB. Robotic Fly Promotes Engineering ScienceC. Harvards Efforts in Making Robotic Fly D. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect DThe joy of absenceHow some companies fight the curse of presenteeism (出勤主义)?RONALD REAGAN famously joked that “its true hard work never kille

30、d anybody, but I figure, why take the chance?” Beyond a certain level, extra effort seems to be self-defeating. Studies suggest that, after around 50 hours a week, employee productivity declines sharply.But that doesnt stop some managers from demanding that workers stay chained to their desk for lon

31、g periods. Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce group, recently praised the 996 model, where employees work from 9a.m. to 9p.m., six days a week, as a “great opportunity”. Yet presenteeism is the curse of the modern office worker.There will be days when you do not have much to do;

32、 perhaps because you are waiting for someone else in a different department, or a different company, to respond to a request. As the clock ticks past 5p.m., there may be no purpose in staying at your desk. But you can see your boss hard at work and, more importantly, they can see you. So you make an

33、 effort to look busy.The consequence is often wasted effort. Rather than work hard, you slave to make bosses think that you are. But presenteeism has more serious consequences. As well as reduced productivity, this can mean greater medical expenses for the employer. According to a study in the Journ

34、al of Occupation and Environmental Medicine, these costs can be six times higher for employers than the costs of absenteeism among workers. None of this is to say that employers are not called to expect workers to be in the office for a proper period of time. Surely there will be a need for some (pr

35、eferably short) meetings. Dealing with colleagues face-to-face creates a feeling of togetherness, allows for a useful exchange of ideas and enables workers to have a better sense of their mutual needs.Turning an office into a prison, with inmates (囚犯) allowed home for the evenings, does nothing for

36、creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine tasks are automated. To be productive you need presence of mind, not being present in the flesh. 32. Why does the author mention Ronald Reagans joke in Para. 1?A. To encourage people to grasp the chance to work hard.B. To show tha

37、t hard work is harmless.C. To introduce the topic of the passage.D. To praise Ronald Reagans accomplished joking skills.33. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence?A. Extra effort causes problems or difficulties.B. With extra effort, we can defeat anybody.C. We should say no to extra effort.D

38、. Extra effort isnt necessarily helpful.34. According to the passage, which of the following situation is helpful to the company?A. Your team has a ten-minute meeting after work for an urgent problem.B. You dont go home until 7:30 p.m. because your boss is in his office and he can see you. C. The ma

39、nager tours the engineering department at 7:30 p.m. to check people are at their desks. D. You attend the office even when you suffer lower back pain.35. Whichofthefollowing opinionsagrees withthe passage?A. Some managers expect workers tie themselves up with a chain to their desks.B. Reduced produc

40、tivity can mean greater medical expenses for the employer. C. With growing demand of creativity on office workers, a prison-like office is not a wise option.D. Presence of mind guarantees your productivity.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。What does Wi-Fi stand for?Long

41、gone are the days of dial-up and waiting for your turn to use the computer. Its easier than ever to connect to the Internet in the digital world today. 36 Wi-Fi is a wireless network that uses radio frequency signals to connect to the Internet or send messages between devices without wires. Everythi

42、ng from your phone and laptop to tablets and printers can use Wi-Fi, thanks to these waves. 37 Two years later, a group of companies formed the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, now the Wi-Fi Alliance), a global non-profit organization created to promote the new Wi-Fi standard. None of

43、 that history explains what Wi-Fi stands for, because the phrase doesnt stand for anything. Wi-Fi is a trademarked term describing the device or technology based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) wireless communication standard 802.11, according to the Wi-Fi Alliance. 3

44、8 So the Wi-Fi Alliance hired the marketing company Interbrand to come up with a shorter name: Wi-Fi, according to one of the founding Alliance members. 39 The rumor that it stands for “Wireless Fidelity (无线保证)” is thanks to the Alliance. Some members didnt understand the branding or marketing for W

45、i-Fi. They felt consumers would want an explanation for the name. So the Alliance agreed to include a tagline: The Standard for Wireless Fidelity. Thats why so many people assume Wi-Fi stands for wireless fidelity, but the tagline came after the name. 40 Dont add to the confusion and stop miss-assoc

46、iating these phrases by learning the real meaning behind these acronyms (缩略词). A. Thats a mouthful.B. This is mostly thanks to Wi-Fi.C. The name caused a misconception about Wi-Fi.D. There is some debate surrounding the question what Wi-Fi stands for.E. In 1997, a committee of industry leaders appro

47、ved a common Wi-Fi standard.F. Several years ago, a common standard of Wi-Fi was set up by several companies.G. Plus, the Alliance removed the tag, although the confusion it brought still lives on today.第二部分 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，

56、tea had begun to be exported to Japan and Korea before the Tang Dynasty (618-907). In the early period of the 17th century, Chinese tea 61 (export) to Europe. The tea from China is in great abundance and variety. To tell if a pot of tea is nice you can mainly rely 62 the color, smell, taste and form.
