【解析】本文是一篇記敘文，講述了史蒂夫·喬布斯，蘋果公司的創(chuàng)始人的創(chuàng)業(yè)經(jīng)歷。
(1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“After Steve Jobs graduated from high school, he went to college but decided to drop out because it was so expensive that he had to sleep on the floor in his friends' rooms.” 他上了大學(xué)后，但由于學(xué)費(fèi)太高，不得不輟學(xué)，不得不睡在朋友房間的地板上。由于學(xué)費(fèi)高，不得不輟學(xué)，即是他的經(jīng)濟(jì)出出了問(wèn)題，由此可推斷出A是正確的。
(2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“he and a friend…started a company in a garage on April 1, 1976. Jobs named their company ----Apple”他和一個(gè)朋友開(kāi)始于車庫(kù)；根據(jù)第三段中的“After 10 years of hard time and failures, starting from two kids working in a garage Apple computer eventually grew into a big company” 經(jīng)過(guò)10年的艱難和失敗，兩個(gè)人從開(kāi)始在車庫(kù)工作，到蘋果電腦最終成長(zhǎng)為一家大公司。公司經(jīng)歷了10年的艱難和失敗，可知最早是從車庫(kù)開(kāi)始創(chuàng)業(yè)的，是一個(gè)艱難的開(kāi)始。 因此B是正確的。
(3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段可知：?jiǎn)滩妓贡黄入x開(kāi)后，蘋果是來(lái)自競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手微軟的重重壓力之下和1996宣布的數(shù)十億美元的損失。蘋果需要史蒂夫·喬布斯，1997他被任命為蘋果首席執(zhí)行官。在他的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下，蘋果恢復(fù)了盈利能力，推出了iPhone和iPad等新產(chǎn)品�？芍窃贘obs的努力下才讓公司起死回生的，也就是劉是Jobs給了公司第2次生命，故選C。
(4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)Jobs所說(shuō)的“有時(shí)候生活會(huì)用磚頭打你的頭，不要失去信心。我確信唯一讓我堅(jiān)持下去的是我熱愛(ài)我所做的一切。你必須找到你所愛(ài)的。如果你還沒(méi)有找到，繼續(xù)找�！笨芍菬釔�(ài)自己所做的事，才會(huì)成功。也就是熱情是你成功的關(guān)鍵，故選D。

【題目】A new study has found the amount of antibiotics（抗生素）given to farm animals is expected to increase by two-thirds over the next 15 years.Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to the increasing need for meat,milk and eggs.However,the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotic-resistant infections（感染）.Such infections are already a major public,health concern in the United States.

The World Health Organization notes when people stop living in poverty（貧困）,the first thing they want to do is eat better,rather than earn more money.For most people,that means their diet should contain more meat.With the rapid development of Asia,people there are eating nearly four times as much meat,milk and other milk products as they did 50 year ago.

To meet the need,farmers have put many animals into smaller spaces.As the animals are crowded together,the easiest way to deal with some of the problems d crowding is to give them antibiotics.It's clear that antibiotics help animals stay healthy in a crowded environment and grow faster.But bacteria can develop resistance to the drugs gradually.

Nowadays,doctors find antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer work.The bacteria have learned ways to fight against the drugs.The heavy use of antibiotics in animals is responsible for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide.In the United States,at least two million people get drug-resistant infections each year and at least 23,000 die from an infection.

Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth.And the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose.

【1】What accounts for the increasing amount of antibiotics given to farm animals?

A. The desire for new drugs. B. The less effective antibiotics.

C. The outdated farm technology. D. The need for more various foods.

【2】What do most people want to do first when they get rid of poverty according to the WHO?

A. Making a lot of money. B. Focusing more on health.

C. Having more meat in their diet. D. Living in a better environment.

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Antibiotics do harm to animals.

B. Antibiotics help animals stay healthy.

C. Antibiotics are used heavily in Europe.

D. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria spread to people.

【4】What's the passage mainly about?

A. A new way of raising farm animals.

B. The advantages of using antibiotics.

C. The reason for banning the use of antibiotics.

D. The negative effect of antibiotics in farm animals.

My father used to be an amateur wrestler (業(yè)余摔跤者) and national champion. He was forced by his father to give up the sport in order to obtain gainful employment, which meant he wouldn't be able to win a medal for our country. Therefore, he made a vow that his unborn son would.

【題目】In a strange example of “art inspires life”，the selfdrying jacket that Marty McFly wore in the movie，Back to the Future Ⅱ，has actually become a reality. A model has already been created and a Kickstarter campaign plans to raise funds for mass production.

The jackets，named SDJ01，are classified as wearable tech，because of the inner air circulation(環(huán)流；循環(huán)) system that speeds the drying process from the inside out. Under normal circumstances，you can expect the jacket to dry in about 1－2 minutes after being exposed to rain or a spilled drink. If you jump into a pond to escape danger，it will probably take longer.

“Think of how quickly your clothes dry when you turn a standard fan on them. Now imagine how quickly breathable(透氣的)，water resistant(抗……的) material dries when exposed to concentrated，highpressure air. In lab tests，our jacket consistently experienced noticeable drying effects after just 30 seconds，with the average time of about a minute to achieve a 90% drying effect，” explained Aaron Coleman，lead designer at Falyon Wearable Tech，which is producing the jacket.

“This is something that has been on my mind for years，” he said. He didn’t want it to be just a movie prop，but an actual usable jacket. “We wanted to follow the basic design of the jacket from the movie Back to the Future Ⅱ but update it a bit，adding more pockets for all the things people carry around these days.”

Eventually，Coleman and his team hit upon the perfect combination of water resistant material and highpressure air circulation to achieve complete drying in just one minute. The outer layer is made of water resistant nylon，with insulation(絕緣材料) made of polyester fibre on the inside. It dries itself through a couple of socalled “air amplifiers(放大器)” attached to the sides，which force more air through the jacket.

According to the makers，the SDJ01 is ideal for rainy days and spills，and the fans are perfect to cool off on days “when you’re just a little too warm，but it’s too cold to take off your jacket”．

【1】How long does the SDJ01 take to achieve a 90% drying effect，on average?

A. About 30 seconds.

B. About a minute.

C. About 1－2 minutes.

D. Longer than 2 minutes.

【2】According to Aaron Coleman，in what way is the design different，compared with the jacket in Back to the Future Ⅱ？

A. The number of pockets.

B. The function of pockets.

C. The colour of pockets.

D. The shape of pockets.

【3】What is the main achievement by Coleman and his team in developing the SDJ01?

A. The noticeable drying effects of high pressure air on wet clothes.

B. The inner air circulation system can speed the drying process from the outside.

C. The perfect combination of water resistant material and highpressure air circulation.

D. The various functions of water resistant materials during rainy days and spills.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The ideal design of a selfdrying jacket.

B. Marketing strategies for a selfdrying jacket.

C. The development of a selfdrying jacket.

D. A basic introduction to a selfdrying jacket.

The latest study by the University of Florida has found that eating from smaller, less beautiful, and even paper plates will help prevent overeating. Eating with a fork instead of a spoon can help you lose weight, the researchers say. Much to their surprise, they find that putting mirrors in the dining room will also help reduce weight.
The researchers asked 185 college students to choose a chocolate cake or a fruit salad, and evaluated the taste. Those who ate in a room with a mirror scored the taste of junk food much lower than those in a room without a mirror. But the taste of fruit salad remained the same in any case.
Lead scientist, Dr. Ata Jami, says that a glance in the mirror tells people more than just about their physical appearance. It enables them to view themselves objectively (客觀地) and helps them to judge themselves and their behavior in the same way that they judge other people.
The mirrors were found to push people to compare and match their own behavior with accepted social standards. The researchers believe it proves that people don't want to look in the mirror when they feel they are following the social standards. When they look in the mirror with mouths full of junk food, feelings of discomfort and failure can be increased. Therefore, the presence of the mirror lowers the taste of unhealthy food.
However, researchers say this is only the case if people select the food they are eating, because they are responsible for that choice. The researchers suggest that mirrors be placed in dining rooms and other eating spaces, so that people will start eating more healthily.
（1）Researchers are amazed to find that ______.
A.paper plates make food look nicer
B.people using a fork will eat more
C.mirrors can help people lose weight
D.people will eat more in front of a mirror
（2）What can be inferred from the study?
A.Some teenagers got involved in it.
B.People were required to eat with a spoon.
C.People preferred a chocolate cake to a fruit salad.
D.The mirror may not affect the taste of healthy food.
（3）According to Dr. Ata Jami, the mirror ______.
A.makes people judge others correctly
B.makes people well judge themselves
C.is a necessary part of people's daily life
D.can only show the appearance of a person
（4）How does the mirror affect the taste of junk food?
A.By making people hungry.
B.By showing the social standards.
C.By attracting people to healthy food.
D.By causing a feeling of discomfort.
