第二部分_閱讀理解 （40分）

I. 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。（30分）

A

With eight bloodshot eyes fixed on a flying object， the pains of a two-year project were about to bear fruit.

It was Wang Hongyi's first test flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle （UAV） （無人機） designed and assembled （組裝） with his teammates from the Aero-Sport Club at Shanghai Jiaotong University.

Wang is a senior mechanical engineering and automation major. He has been a plane model fan since childhood. As a freshman， he spent two nights building a model aircraft and took it to the sports field just for fun. Wu Junqi， the coach of Shanghai Jiaotong University's Aero-Sport Club， spotted Wang and told him his model was outdated.

“I was a little angry， so he took me to the lab，” says Wang. He was immediately drawn to the modern equipment and decided to join the club. As a technology fan， Wang spends most of his spare time in the lab. “He loves what he's doing， so he can stand the loneliness of doing research that others seldom have the persistence to carry out，” says coach Wu.

When Wang and his teammates were building UAV， they lived together in the lab. “We tried to spend as much time together as possible because there were thousands of problems that needed to be solved，” Wang says. They didn't even have time to celebrate when the first test flight of the UAV went well. “We needed to list the problems that occurred during the flight and analyze them to find solutions，” he says.

“Our UAV isn't finished yet， but there are many design projects and people with similar interests waiting for me，” Wang says. “The UAV is just the beginning， not the end of my aircraft journey.”

1. Why did Wang succeed in doing the research？

A. He majored in mechanical engineering and automation.

B. He had a good coach and wonderful teammates.

C. He loved what he did and would stick to it.

D. He was highly thought of by Wu Junqi.

C. Outstanding and rude. ? ? ? ? ? ? D. Kind and talented.

3. What does the writer want to do by writing the passage？

A. Encourage students to learn from Wang Hongyi.

B. Tell readers about UAV development in China.

C. Inform readers about Wang Hongyi and his UAV.

D. Call on readers to do what interests them.

4. What message does Wang Hongyi's story convey to us？

A. Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it.

B. Two heads are better than one.

C. Interest is the best teacher.

D. Actions speak louder than words.

Five years after a NASA satellite to track carbon dioxide fell into the ocean after taking off， the space agency is launching another almost exactly like it — this time on a different rocket.

The $468 million mission（任務） is designed to study the main driver of climate change resulting from smokestacks （煙囪）. Some of the carbon dioxide is absorbed by trees and oceans， and the rest rises into the atmosphere， trapping the sun's heat and warming the planet. But atmospheric CO2 levels fluctuate with the seasons and in different regions of the Earth. The natural and human activities that cause the changes are complicated. The Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2， or OCO-2 for short， will be able to take a detailed look at most of the Earth's surface to identify places responsible for producing or absorbing the greenhouse gas. “This will allow us to understand what processes are controlling how much carbon is absorbed in a given time and place，” Anna Michalak， a scientist at the Carnegie Institution for Science， who is not part of the mission， said in an email. The mission， designed to last two years， could provide data that will help scientists make predictions about future carbon dioxide levels and their influence.

NASA suffered a major scientific and financial disaster in 2009 when a rocket carrying the original satellite fell into the waters off Antarctica minutes after rising from Vandenberg Air Force Base along the central California coast. After the loss， engineers built a near-identical twin that was set to launch before dawn Tuesday. Instead of using the same rocket， the replacement will be flown on a Delta 2， a workhorse booster （主力助推器） that once faced a dark future.

5. What does the underlined word “fluctuate” in Paragraph 2 mean？

A. Increase. ? ? B. Vary. ? ? C. Drop. ? ? D. Improve.

6. From the second paragraph we can know ____.

A. the natural activities causing the climate changes are simple

B. Anna Michalak is a scientist who takes part in the task

C. most of the carbon dioxide is absorbed by trees and oceans

D. OCO-2 will help scientists predict future CO2 levels in the atmosphere

7. What caused the failure to the first satellite launch？

A. Operation error. ? B. Bad weather.

C. Poor preparation. ? D. Problems of the rocket.

8. What's the main idea of the text？

A. A NASA satellite to track carbon dioxide plunged into the ocean.

B. CO2 levels are different in different regions.

C. NASA suffered a major scientific and financial disaster in 2009.

D. NASA will give global warming satellite second try.

London Business School （LBS）

Vacation is a time for refreshment. In work， we are often called to think. Sometimes， it's good to give our brains a rest. Without a break， we may not be able to perform up to our potential. This can be a problem， not only for the employee， but for the employer as well.

“The main benefit of vacation is for the worker to come back energized，” says Weaver. “If they haven't had a break， then they're not coming back with new energy. They haven't had a chance to step back and get perspective （遠景）， and come back with renewed enthusiasm.”

Long working hours without a break， insecurity（不安） about one's job， and other work-related worries can lead to burnout and stress. Humans can usually adapt to pressure， but not for a limitless amount of time.

“It is a problem of relating good workers and having them loyal to the firm while they're there，” says David Maume， Ph.D， professor of sociology at the University of Cincinnati. He says burnout can also affect employees' productivity， creativity， and effectiveness.

In addition， high levels of stress are likely to be precursors （前兆） to depression， which can hit both the employer and employee's pocketbook. Even people who manage to remain productive at work can have problems. If they're always at work， then they're not with their family and friends. If they're working while on vacation， for the time that they're on the job， they're not really present.

An unbalanced emphasis on work can strain family and social life. When you come up for air， you may see that you're alone， or that your relationships have gone on without you.

12. What's the main benefit of a vacation？

A. The manager can be more creative.

B. The worker can step back and get more excited

C. The worker can come back with new energy.

D. The worker can adapt to pressure much better.

13. The underlined word “there” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to the ___.

A. vacation B. home C. university D. company

14. When a worker is always at work， he is likely to get more and more ___.

A. absent-minded B. energetic C. skillful D. active

15. Which of the following is the best title of the text？

A. How to spend the vacation effectively

B. Why the workers need a vacation

C. How to deal with the daily pressure

D. Why the workers need new energy

The revision period is， arguably， the most difficult part of any exam process. The exam itself — usually between one and three hours. _1_ However， the knowledge that it is the culmination （頂點） of the entire process should provide some comfort. A well-structured revision plan can help you revise well. Below are my top tips for creating a well-structured and comprehensive revision plan， which will provide the best chance of success in the summer.

1. _2_

It ought to go without saying that planning your revision timetable must be done before anything else， to ensure there is enough time for comprehensive coverage of all subjects. With most exams starting at the end of June， the revision plan should be in place by the end of March at least.

2. Continual assessment

_3_ In order to chart （跟蹤記錄） your development effectively， we recommend that our students attempt practice papers in each subject， marked according to the relevant mark scheme and curriculum.

3. Order your subjects strategically

_4_ Ordering your subjects in an effective manner can help to do this. For example， scheduling English revision to appear early in your revision plan may provide useful when revising essay-based subjects such as History， and Politics later on.

4. Each subject is different

Depending on your learning style， you may find one easier than the other. More unusual exam types， such as performance exams， require their own unique attention. _5_

A. Besides， your time allocation （分配） may be dependent on your own aptitude in that subject.

B. Make a detailed timetable

C. Pressure and nerves can undoubtedly make it an uncomfortable experience.

D. Revision is a process of improvement.

E. Plan early

The weather was terrible that night. The summer thunderstorm had knocked out the power. Luckily， there was enough candle light flickering （閃爍） on the kitchen table. With the candle light， I could see the card I was writing to my husband's _1_ （cousin） in Finland.

Dear Heli and Rislo，

You are on my mind tonight because we are using the candles you gave us when you visited us two years ago. There was a horrible summer thunderstorm this evening and the power went ? _2_， and your candles were just _3_ we needed. They have lit our dinnertime， the bedrooms and now I am _4_ （sit） by one in the kitchen...

What I didn't say to Heli and Risto is that we never burned the candles before because they， well， smell like a campfire. And so they stood in iron candlesticks until we needed them.

I'm so _5_ （thank） that we had candles on hand that dark night. And I'm equally as thankful that I had a beautiful card on hand， too， or I would have _6_（let） the opportunity to keep in touch with faraway family escape. It would have turned into another one of those moments _7_the thought of sending a card crossed my mind but never actually happened.

The candle burned slowly. After I finished my card to Finland， I enjoyed ?_8_ （look）through the rest of my “Someone Cares” greeting cards. The air was fresh and cool， and I had cards and enough light to write. I _9_ （find） a birthday card for my nephew's 10th birthday， a thinking-of-you card for my aunt， and a fun greeting card for an old friend and I began writing. Candles and cards were two things that made a thunderstorm _10_ the perfect storm.

The other day we held class meeting to discuss how family conditions influence high school students. Different student have different opinions about it. Some students put it that if a student live in bad conditions， he can't get what he wants to. Some argue that these who enjoy favorable family conditions can easily get convenience if necessarily. There is no doubt whether it is of great help to their study and future life. Besides， others hold the view that it is against the development of their ability to live independently.

I think high school students are no longer children. So they should learn to live by their own and get well preparing for their future life. Only in this way can they become useful to society and enjoy a colorful life in the future.
