1推理判斷題。第一段That morning, William escaped from a mental health hospital, where he'd been diagnosed(診斷) with schizo-affective disorder. He headed straight to the bridge, convinced that his disease was a life sentence. (那天早上,威廉從一家精神病院逃了出來,他在那里被診斷出患有精神分裂-情感障礙。他直奔大橋,確信他的疾病是終身監(jiān)禁。)由此推斷出,威廉爬上橋是因?yàn)樗牟∈顾チ讼M。故選B。

2詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段William felt faith, like he could talk to him. 可知,威廉姆感覺到了信心,說明戴維的做法打動(dòng)了他。struck a chord 意思是“打動(dòng)”,故選A。

3推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段 戴維說的話 It's cold here. Why not have some coffee in a warm cafe? Everything will be OK. (這里很冷。為什么不在暖和的咖啡館喝點(diǎn)咖啡呢?一切都會(huì)好起來的。)很明顯戴維和威廉姆素不相識(shí),但是戴維能停下來,去耐心地勸說威廉姆,所以他是一個(gè)關(guān)心他人的人。A. Diligent.勤勉的; B. Strong-willed. 意志堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的;C. Caring. 關(guān)心他人的;D. Generous.慷慨的。故選C。

4細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中Eager to thank him in person, he posted a Facebook message nicknaming the good man Mike. His Find Mike post was shared millions of times around the world, as far as Canada. (為了親自感謝他,他在Facebook上發(fā)了一條消息,稱這個(gè)好人為邁克。他尋找邁克的帖子在世界各地被分享了數(shù)百萬次,甚至遠(yuǎn)至加拿大。)可知威廉通過在網(wǎng)上發(fā)布消息,找到了戴維。故選D。

通過對(duì)關(guān)鍵詞,關(guān)鍵短語或者是關(guān)鍵的句子的把握是解決推理判斷題的重要解題方法之一,它們往往隱藏著深層的意思。小題3根據(jù)第五段 戴維說的話 It's cold here. Why not have some coffee in a warm cafe? Everything will be OK. (這里很冷。為什么不在暖和的咖啡館喝點(diǎn)咖啡呢?一切都會(huì)好起來的。)很明顯戴維和威廉姆素不相識(shí),但是戴維能停下來,去耐心地勸說威廉姆,所以他是一個(gè)關(guān)心他人的人。A. Diligent.勤勉的; B. Strong-willed. 意志堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的;C. Caring. 關(guān)心他人的;D.

【題目】Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.

The enduring power of print for learning in a digital world

Today's students see themselves as digital natives, the first generation to grow up surrounded by technology like smartphones, tablets and e-readers. We’ve seen students now equipped with school-issued iPads and access to e-textbooks. Given this trend, it might be assumed that students' familiarity and preference for technology translates into better learning outcomes. But more and more studies show that it’s not always the case. So, there are some lessons that can be conveyed to us about print’s place in an increasingly digital world.

We all read for many reasons. Sometimes we're looking for an answer to a very specific question. Other times, we want to browse a newspaper for today’s headlines. As we’re about to pick up an article or text in a printed or digital format, we should keep in mind why we're reading. There’s likely to be a difference in which medium works best for which purpose.

One of the most consistent findings of the studies is that, for some tasks, medium doesn't seem to matter. If all students are being asked to do is to understand and remember the big idea or gist of what they’re reading, there’s no benefit in selecting one medium over another. But when the reading assignment demands more engagement or deeper comprehension, students may be better off reading print. Teachers could make students aware that their ability to comprehend the assignment may be influenced by the medium they choose. This awareness could lessen the difference in students’ judgments of their performance compared with how they actually performed.

In another experiment, researchers were able to create meaningful records of college students based on the way they read and comprehended from printed and digital texts. Among those records, it was found that a select group of undergraduates who actually comprehended better when they moved from print to digital. But they actually read slower when the text was on the computer than when it was in a book. Using this select group as a model, students could possibly be taught or directed to fight the tendency to glide through online texts.

【題目】Ways to save time

We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.

1But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.

Get Out of Bed Earlier.

If you normally get up at 7:30 a.m. try getting up at 7:00 a.m. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish.2

Do the Important Tasks First.

Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). 3If you work like this, you’ll usually save time. The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.

Reduce Interruptions.

If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter.4

5

A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you’re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to deal with.

A. Stay Focused on Your Work.

B. Take Breaks When Necessary.

C. Would you want me to make your day longer?

D. I can’t magically make all your days 25 hours long.

E. Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.

F. Constant interruptions don’t just eat up time, they also break your concentration.

G. You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.
