17．Do you have a business brain？Are you always looking for the next big idea？Maybe，like me，you might feel setting up a new company is something you might do when you're older，when you have more experience．But that's not always the case．
While some of us may feel young adulthood is a time of uncertainly finding our place in the world，sleeping late and partying hard，others are already on a path to great business success．Take the founder of Microsoft，Bill Gates，who started his company as a young university student at Harvard in the US．There are many other examples of young entrepreneurs （企業(yè)家） who have become hugely successful，proving that there's no minimum age to becoming top dog．
But to be the next business executive requires effort．You need to acquire a keen mind and good business intelligence and above all，you need enthusiasm．Starting a new business comes with an element of risk but if you are able to spot the next big idea，it's probably worth giving it a try．Jessica Rose owns a jewelry making business and admits that"when I first started I had no business training but when I woke up one day，I thought I'd really love to be a jewelry designer．"She went on to be a successful young entrepreneur．
Being young and in business does have its drawbacks； you may worry you have nothing to bring to the table and that the people who work for you tend to be older and wiser．That's what young British entrepreneur Suleman Sacranie found．He started his third business while studying chemistry at university．He says"now I've got two additional directors who have grey hair"but when they first started he says he could tell they were thinking in the back of their heads，"I've got a kid sitting in front of me．"
You may think setting up a new start-up is easier said than done．As well as ideas，you need financial backing and expert guidance．But if you're studying hard at university and don't have the desire to go into business and make your fortune，keep on studying-an education is priceless!

29．At the very beginning，what's the author's attitude to the necessity of being aged and experienced in setting up a new company？A
A．Supportive．
B．Negative．
C．Impersonal．
D．Critical．
30．The author takes Jessica Rose for example in order to show thatB．
A．doing business needs great effort
B．enthusiasm is more important than a keen mind
C．business training is not necessary
D．it is easy to set up a new business
31．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs？C
A．Older directors shouldn't be employed if you are young．
B．Age plays an important role in setting up new business．
C．If you don't intend to set up business，just focus on your study．
D．Education is more valuable than setting up a business．

分析 本文講述了經(jīng)商創(chuàng)業(yè)所需要的因素，包括年輕、經(jīng)驗、熱情等．

解答 29．A．細節(jié)理解題．由第一段like me，you might feel setting up a new company is something you might do when you're older，when you have more experience，你可能像我一樣覺得更年長更有經(jīng)驗的時候，建立新公司就會變成一件小事，可推知作者是贊同年齡和經(jīng)驗有助于建立新公司的，故選A．
30．B．理解推斷題．由第三段when I first started I had no business training but when I woke up one day，I thought I'd really love to be a jewelry designer，當我剛開始時我沒有業(yè)務(wù)培訓(xùn)．但是當我醒來的那天，我想我真的很喜歡成為一名珠寶設(shè)計師，可知是她的熱情使得她成功，因此可推知熱情更重要，故選B．
31．C．理解推斷題．由最后一段tBut if you're studying hard at university and don't have the desire to go into business and make your fortune，keep on studying-an education is priceless可知，如果你在大學(xué)里努力學(xué)習(xí)，沒有經(jīng)商賺錢的欲望，那么堅持學(xué)習(xí)，教育是無價的．可知選C．

點評 本篇文章難點在推理判斷題上．推理判斷題要以表面文字為前提，以具體事實為依據(jù)進行推理，做出判斷．這種推理方式比較直接，考生只要弄清事實，即可結(jié)合上下文推斷出合理的結(jié)論．

7．Think for a moment about the teachers you've had at junior or senior high school．Which one did you like best？And why？Were the teachers you liked best also the ones who were the best teachers，in your opinion？（36）DAnd then begin to read further．
Some very common answers to this question are that teachers need to love their students，that they need to have expert knowledge of their subjects and that they should devote themselves completely to their work．All of these ideas are，of course，true to a certain extent．（37）A
  It's impossible for anyone to love everyone he knows，and teachers deal with a very large number of students over the years．On the other hand，teachers should certainly be able to make their students feel that they're interested in them as people．（38）G  A deep knowledge of the subject is especially important．（39）FThat's to say，a teacher needs to be trained in the skills of teaching．These skills include how to control a class．Finally，teachers have to devote a lot of time and energy to their work，of course．However，because they're also models that their students must follow，it's important that they should be well-balanced people with interests outside their school work-families，friends，hobbies，etc．（40）E

A．They're perhaps a little too simple．
B．Students ask too much from teachers．
C．Well-qualified teachers should be educated and capable．
D．Consider for a minute the qualities that make a teacher outstanding．
E．A teacher who only lives for work is likely to become narrow-minded．
F．Equally important is the ability to pass that knowledge on to the students effectively．
G．They also pay attention to the development of both their brains and their characters．

8．No offence to you，but scientists have found that mosquitoes may find your feet as attractive as Limburger cheese．If that's you，don't feel embarrassed-it doesn't mean you're not washing them enough．Mosquitoes are simply attracted by certain DNA．
A UK research team recently investigated the genetic role in mosquito attraction by testing the bite appeal of 18twin sisters and 18 non-twin sisters．In a series of tests，20hungry mosquitoes were released into the end of a Y-shaped tube and allowed to choose left or right．Down either path was one sister's hand，releasing its delicious natural odors but protected from bites behind a net screen．After testing all 36pairs，scientists found that the twin pairs had consistently more similar attraction scores than the non-twin ones did-specifically，67 percent of a person's insect appeal had to do with her genes．
So what's the deal：does DNA smell？Thankfully，no．But specific DNA does attract unique species of microbacteria to your body-and those are what mosquitoes just can't resist．
Each of us，right now，is covered with about 100 trillion microbes（微生物），outnumbering our human DNA ten to one．Maybe weirder still：scientists believe we share only a fraction of these microbial species with one another，making our'microbiome'-the world of bacteria living in and on us-unique，just like our fingerprints．In addition to producing many of the vitamins and chemicals in our blood，our microbiome is thought to be responsible for most of our distinct odors as well．
Different mosquitoes prefer different smells from different parts of the body-that's why Anopheles gambiae （known for spreading malaria） prefers biting hands and feet，while others go right for the armpits or groin．And those smells come from chemicals produced by our microbiomes．So the next time a group of hungry mosquitoes swarms your cousin but leaves you bite-free，thank your DNA for the world of microscopic creatures on your skin that produce just the right smell to keep the bloodsuckers away．

32．The research conducted by the UK team suggested thatD．
A．more mosquitoes chose the twin pairs
B．more mosquitoes chose the non-twin pairs
C．Non-twin pairs had more similar attraction than twin pairs
D．most insect appeal had to do with a person's DNA
33．What does the word"those"in Paragraph 3 refer to？B
A．a(chǎn) specific DNA
B．the microbateria
C．the smell of body
D．the attractive blood
34．From Paragraph 4，we can learn thatB．
A．we are part of our microbiome．
B．our microbiome contributes to our distinct odors
C．our microbiome will decide our fingerprints in some way
D．our microbiome produces vitamins and nutrients in our blood
35．What does the passage mainly talk about？D
A．We are attractive to the mosquitoes．
B．Different mosquitoes prefer different smells．
C．DNA that attracts mosquitoes makes us unique．
D．Mosquitoes are simply attracted by certain DNA．

2．In 1967，a 20-year-old student at Syracuse University became the first woman to officially participate in the Boston Marathon．Fifty years later，Kathrine Switzer crossed the finish line of the Boston Marathon wearing the same number．

"In 1967，few would have believed that marathon running would someday attract millions of women，become an appealing event in the Olympics and on the streets of major cities，help transform views of women's physical ability and help redefine their economic roles in traditional cultures，"Switzer wrote．"We've come a light year but we still have a long way to go．"

24．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about？D

1．The movies just wouldn't be the same without the warm buttery taste of popcorn（爆米花）．Amazingly，this delicious treat started its life as a corn kernel（玉米粒）---and not from just any corn．Popcorn is a type of sweet corn that was originally grown in Mexico and spread to China，India and elsewhere．It is the only kind of corn that will pop．Today，most of the world's popcorn is grown in the United States．
Every popcorn kernel contains a tiny drop of water，surrounded by soft starch （淀粉）．When the popcorn is heated，the water turns into steam．This puts pressure on the surrounding hard kernel，forcing it to explode．The soft starch increases about 40times in size as the corn kernel turns itself inside out．
In the 1500s popcorn was an important food source for the Aztec Indians of central and southern Mexico．But it wasn't only food．It was also used in ceremonies or on red dresses and in necklaces．By the time the Europeans arrived in America，popcorn had spread through most of the American Indians．
Some early American settlers ate popcorn with cream and sugar for breakfast．But it wasn't until the late 1800s that popcorn became popular．The demand for popcorn increased and farmers began farming popcorn．The first mobile popping machine was invented in 1885，and popcorn was sold by street sellers much like hot dogs that are sold today．
During the Great Depression of the 1930s，the popcorn business still thrived as people could still afford it．Then in the 1950s television arrived and popcorn consumption decreased．People stayed home and stopped going to the theatre．But the link between movies and popcorn had already existed．Soon people began making popcorn at home on the stove and，later，microwave popcorn was introduced．
Today the movies have regained popularity and popcorn has once again become the favorite．

32．Popcorn was first planted inD．
A．China
B．America
C．India
D．Mexico
33．Why does the corn kernel pop when heated？B．
A．Because it is covered with soft starch．
B．Because the pressure inside is too big．
C．Because the starch becomes bigger in size．
D．Because there is water inside the kernel．
34．We can know from the passage thatA．
A．popcorn began to be farmed in the late 1800s
B．popcorn was only a kind of food in the 1500s
C．hot dogs used to be sold by street sellers
D．people stop eating popcorn while watching movies now
35．The underlined word"thrived"in the fifth paragraph probably means"D"．
A．started to disappear
B．was seriously affected
C．suffered a lot
D．developed very well．
