Freedom and Jeff
Freedom and I have been together 10 years this summer. She came in as a baby in 2011 with two ____1____ (break) wings, thin and dirty. We made the decision to give her a chance at life, so I took her to the vet's office. From then on, I was always around her. We had her in a huge dog carrier with the top off, and it was loaded up with shredded newspaper for her to lay in. I used to sit and talk to her, urging her to live, to fight and she would lay there looking at me with those big brown eyes. We also had to tube feed her for weeks. This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she still couldn't stand. It got to the point ____2____ the decision was made to euthanize (安乐死) her if she couldn't stand in a week.
She was going to be put down that Friday, and I was supposed to come in on that Thursday afternoon. I didn't want to go to the center that Thursday, ____3____ I couldn't bear the thought of her being euthanized, but I went anyway and when I walked in everyone was grinning from ear to ear. I went immediately back to her cage; and there she was, standing on her own, a big beautiful eagle. She was ready to live. I was just about in tears by then. That was a very good day. We knew she could never fly, so the director asked me to glove train her.
In the spring of 2013, I was diagnosed ____4____ non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (淋巴瘤). I had stage 3, which is not good, so I wound up doing eight months of chemo (化疗). Lost the hair- the whole bit.

This happened time and time again.
Fast forward to November 2013, I went in for my last checkup. I was told that if the cancer was not all gone after eight rounds of chemo, then my last option was ____6____ stem cell transplant. I went in Monday, and 1 was told that all the cancer was gone. Amazing!
So the first thing I did was ____7____ (get) up to Sarvey and take the big girl out for a walk. It was misty and cold. I went to her flight, and we went out front to the top of the hill. I hadn’t said a word to Freedom, but somehow she knew. She looked at me and wrapped both her wings around me to where I could feel them ____8____ (press) in on my back, and she touched my nose with her mouth and ____9____ (stare) into my eyes, and we just stood there like that for I didn't know how long. That was a magic moment. We _____10_____ (be) soulmates since she came in. This is a very special bird.

“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣橱) ” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet ” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”
“Why pick on my family ” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes ” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank in a faint (晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
“What happened Where am I ” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.
36. According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means ______.
A. a family honor B. a family story

Walk into a class today, however, and you'll get a completely different impression. For a start, you will now see plenty more women-the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, for example, boasts that 40% of its new enrolment is female, you will also see a wide range of ethnic groups and nationals of practically every country.
It might be tempting, therefore, to think that the old barriers have been broken down and equal opportunity achieved. But, increasingly, this apparent diversity(多样化) is becoming a mask for a new type of conformity. Behind the differences in sex, skin tones and mother tongues, there are common attitudes, expectations and ambitions which risk creating a set clones among the business leaders of the future.
Diversity, it seems, has not helped to deal with basic weaknesses in business leadership. So, what can be done to create more effective managers of the commercial world According to Valerie Gauthier, associate dean at HEC Paris, the key lies in the process by which MBA programs recruit(招募) their students. At the moment candidates are selected on a fairly narrow set of standards such as previous academic and career performance, and analytical and problem solving abilities. This is then coupled to a school's mixture of what a diverse class should look like, with the result that passport, ethnic origin and sex can all become influencing factors. But schools rarely dig down to find out what really makes an applicant succeed, to create a class which also contains diversity of attitude and approach-arguably the only diversity that, in a business context, really matters.
Professor Gauthier believes schools should not just be selecting candidates from traditional sectors such as banking, consultancy and industry. They should also be seeking individuals who have backgrounds in areas such as political science, the creative arts, history or philosophy, which will allow them to put business decisions into a wider context.
Indeed, there does seem to be a demand for the more rounded leaders such diversity might create. A study by Mannaz, a leadership development company, suggests that, while the bully-boy chief executive of old may not have been removed completely, there is a definite shift in emphasis towards less tough styles of management-at least in America and Europe. Perhaps most significant, according to Mannaz, is the increasing interest large companies have in more collaborative management models, such as those popular in Scandinavia, which seek to combine the hard and soft aspects of leadership and encourage delegated responsibility.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章介绍了商业学校的学生现在更加的多样化，但是作者担心他们会培养出来的是一样的未来领导，所以有的专家认为商业学校的学生的多样化应该在于更广泛的社会或专业的经验。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“For a start, you will now see plenty more women-the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, for example, boasts that 40% of its new enrolment is female, you will also see a wide range of ethnic groups and nationals of practically every country.”（首先，你会看到更多的女性——例如，宾夕法尼亚大学沃顿商学院宣称其新入学的学生中有40%是女性，你还会看到来自几乎每个国家的不同种族和民族的学生。），可知如今商学院的学生群体存在的特点是多样化。故选A项。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Behind the differences in sex, skin tones and mother tongues, there are common attitudes, expectations and ambitions which risk creating a set clones among the business leaders of the future.”（在性别、肤色和母语差异的背后，存在着共同的态度、期望和雄心，这可能会在未来创造出特点同质化的商业领袖。），可知作者担心会产生同质化的商业领袖。故选B项。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“They should also be seeking individuals who have backgrounds in areas such as political science, the creative arts, history or philosophy, which will allow them to put business decisions into a wider context.”（他们还应该寻找具有政治科学、创意艺术、历史或哲学等领域背景的个人，这将使他们能够将商业决策置于更广泛的背景中。），可知作者认为社会或者专业领域的多样性是最为重要的。故选B项。
【45题详解】
理解理解题。根据文章最后一段“Perhaps most significant, according to Mannaz, is the increasing interest large companies have in more collaborative management models, such as those popular in Scandinavia, which seek to combine the hard and soft aspects of leadership and encourage delegated responsibility.”（曼纳兹表示，或许最重要是，大公司对更具合作性的管理模式越来越感兴趣，比如在斯堪的纳维亚流行的那种模式，这种模式寻求将领导力的硬和软方面结合起来，并鼓励授权责任。），可知作者认为传统的商业领域以外成长起来的领袖是MBA项目应该招收培养的。故选C项。
【46题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“Perhaps most significant, according to Mannaz, is the increasing interest large companies have in more collaborative management models, such as those popular in Scandinavia, which seek to combine the hard and soft aspects of leadership and encourage delegated responsibility.”（曼纳兹表示，或许最重要的是，大公司对更具合作性的管理模式越来越感兴趣，比如在斯堪的纳维亚流行的那种模式，这种模式寻求将领导力的硬和软方面结合起来，并鼓励授权责任。）中的“which seek to combine the hard and soft aspects of leadership and encourage delegated responsibility.”是对前面的名词collaborative management models的解释，所以此处collaborative与D项joint（联合的）的意思最为接近。故选D项。
【点睛】通读文章了解主要内容揣摩中心思想，认真通读所有题目理解题意，抓住关键词，再带着问题及关键词仔细地阅读有关内容，认真地思考组织答案。比如本篇第3题关键词为Valerie Gauthier，带着关键词，找到相关信息在倒数第4段，因此相关题目答案信息应该在此段落内寻找。故此题选择B项。

One Dollar a Night in New York
When it comes to finding a place to stay for a night in New York, things don’t always come cheap.
However, artist Miao Jiaxin, a Shanghai native who moved to New York in 2006, is offering people the chance to stay in his apartment in Brooklyn. ___47___
Guests can easily book Miao’s room on the Internet. Nevertheless, although they will be housed in his apartment, it appears to have more in common with a jail cell than a regular bedroom as a cage in the center of the room is where guests will stay.
___48___ Guests must stay in the cage for three hours each morning. “From 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., you can’t access the Internet, and there are no electronic devices, books, radio, pens or craftwork. You can’t talk to anybody. You can’t do Yoga or any other exercises. And you can’t even sleep,” writes Miao. If you break any of those rules above, you will be fined 100 dollars.
Meanwhile, the cage is monitored and recorded by two cameras and the activity of guests is filmed for the whole time they stay in the cell.
___49___ They can enjoy great views of New York on the roof deck outside the room.
The room is inspired by the alienation (疏离感) Miao felt as a new immigrant—feelings he believes are universal. “It’s not for fun. It’s for an experience. ___50___” said Miao.
A. It’s too expensive for common people to afford.
B. Actually, Miao’s room is so popular that you have to book three months in advance.
C. It’s only one dollar a night.
D. Miao says that to live in his jail cell, people don’t have to be a criminal, but there are a number of rules that need to be followed.
E. More like a psychological New York City experience.
F. Despite the strict rules, guests are given a key to the cage to let themselves in and out as they please.
【答案】47. C 48. D 49. F 50. E
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了一个2006年搬到纽约的艺术家Miao Jiaxin，正在为人们提供住在他布鲁克林公寓的机会，一晚只要一美元。但是不同之处在于他公寓的房间是笼子，此外房客还必须遵守一些规则。
【47题详解】
结合上文When it comes to finding a place to stay for a night in New York, things don’t always come cheap. However, artist Miao Jiaxin, a Shanghai native who moved to New York in 2006, is offering people the chance to stay in his apartment in Brooklyn.（要在纽约找个地方住一晚，价格可不便宜。然而，艺术家Miao Jiaxin，一个2006年搬到纽约的上海人，正在为人们提供住在他布鲁克林公寓的机会。）中however可推知艺术家Miao Jiaxin的布鲁克林公寓与上文提到的在纽约住一晚价格昂贵情况相反，他的公寓非常便宜。故C选项“一晚只要一美元。”符合语境。故选C。
【48题详解】
根据下文Guests must stay in the cage for three hours each morning. “From 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., you can’t access the Internet, and there are no electronic devices, books, radio, pens or craftwork. You can’t talk to anybody. You can’t do Yoga or any other exercises. And you can’t even sleep,” writes Miao. If you break any of those rules above, you will be fined 100 dollars.（客人每天早晨必须在笼子里呆三个小时。“从上午9点到下午12点。在美国，你无法上网，也没有电子设备、书籍、收音机、笔或工艺品。你不能和任何人说话。你不能做瑜伽或其他任何运动。你甚至都睡不着。”如果你违反以上任何一条，你将被罚款100美元。）可知是在说明住在这些牢房一样的房间里的规则有哪些，故D选项“苗说，住在牢房里的人不一定是罪犯，但有一些规则需要遵守。”符合语境。故选D。
【49题详解】
根据下文They can enjoy great views of New York on the roof deck outside the room.（他们可以在房间外的屋顶平台上欣赏纽约的美景。）可知房客们还是可以自由进出笼子，去屋顶平台欣赏纽约美景。故F选项“尽管有严格的规定，客人还是可以随意进出笼子。”符合语境。故选F。
【50题详解】
结合上文It’s not for fun. It’s for an experience.（不是为了好玩。这是一种体验。）中experience可对应到E选项“More like a psychological New York City experience.（更像是纽约的心理体验。）”代入符合上下文语境。故选E。

【答案】Make sure you can stop to reflect on your success and failures from time to time in your growth/in the process of your growth, which can’t be ignored.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和定语从句。“确保”是固定短语make sure，其后跟宾语从句，可省略引导词that，“你在人生的成长过程中”是in your growth/in the process of your growth，“不时地”是固定短语from time to time，“停下来做某事”是stop to do sth.，“反思”是reflect on，“自己的成功和失败”是your success and failures，“这是不容忽视的”用which引导的非限制性定语从句，which指代前面整个主句，“不容忽视”是can’t be ignored，因此整个句子翻译 为“Make sure you can stop to reflect on your success and failures from time to time in your growth/in the process of your growth, which can’t be ignored”，故答案为Make sure you can stop to reflect on your success and failures from time to time in your growth/in the process of your growth, which can’t be ignored。

THE EAGLE
This is the kind of story you need when it seems like the world is out of control
Freedom and Jeff
Freedom and I have been together 10 years this summer. She came in as a baby in 2011 with two ____1____ (break) wings, thin and dirty. We made the decision to give her a chance at life, so I took her to the vet's office. From then on, I was always around her. We had her in a huge dog carrier with the top off, and it was loaded up with shredded newspaper for her to lay in. I used to sit and talk to her, urging her to live, to fight and she would lay there looking at me with those big brown eyes. We also had to tube feed her for weeks. This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she still couldn't stand. It got to the point ____2____ the decision was made to euthanize (安乐死) her if she couldn't stand in a week.
She was going to be put down that Friday, and I was supposed to come in on that Thursday afternoon. I didn't want to go to the center that Thursday, ____3____ I couldn't bear the thought of her being euthanized, but I went anyway and when I walked in everyone was grinning from ear to ear. I went immediately back to her cage; and there she was, standing on her own, a big beautiful eagle. She was ready to live. I was just about in tears by then. That was a very good day. We knew she could never fly, so the director asked me to glove train her.
In the spring of 2013, I was diagnosed ____4____ non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (淋巴瘤). I had stage 3, which is not good, so I wound up doing eight months of chemo (化疗). Lost the hair- the whole bit. I missed a lot of work. ____5____ I felt good enough, I would go to Sarvey and take Freedom out for walks. Freedom would also come to me in my dreams and help me fight the cancer. This happened time and time again.
Fast forward to November 2013, I went in for my last checkup. I was told that if the cancer was not all gone after eight rounds of chemo, then my last option was ____6____ stem cell transplant. I went in Monday, and 1 was told that all the cancer was gone. Amazing!
So the first thing I did was ____7____ (get) up to Sarvey and take the big girl out for a walk. It was misty and cold. I went to her flight, and we went out front to the top of the hill. I hadn’t said a word to Freedom, but somehow she knew. She looked at me and wrapped both her wings around me to where I could feel them ____8____ (press) in on my back, and she touched my nose with her mouth and ____9____ (stare) into my eyes, and we just stood there like that for I didn't know how long. That was a magic moment. We _____10_____ (be) soulmates since she came in. This is a very special bird.

“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣橱) ” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet ” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”
“Why pick on my family ” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes ” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank in a faint (晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
“What happened Where am I ” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.
36. According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means ______.
A. a family honor B. a family story

Picture a typical MBA lecture theatre twenty years ago. In it the majority of students will have conformed to (符合)the standard model of the time: male middle class and Western. Walk into a class today, however, and you'll get a completely different impression. For a start, you will now see plenty more women-the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, for example, boasts that 40% of its new enrolment is female, you will also see a wide range of ethnic groups and nationals of practically every country.
It might be tempting, therefore, to think that the old barriers have been broken down and equal opportunity achieved. But, increasingly, this apparent diversity(多样化) is becoming a mask for a new type of conformity. Behind the differences in sex, skin tones and mother tongues, there are common attitudes, expectations and ambitions which risk creating a set clones among the business leaders of the future.
Diversity, it seems, has not helped to deal with basic weaknesses in business leadership. So, what can be done to create more effective managers of the commercial world According to Valerie Gauthier, associate dean at HEC Paris, the key lies in the process by which MBA programs recruit(招募) their students. At the moment candidates are selected on a fairly narrow set of standards such as previous academic and career performance, and analytical and problem solving abilities. This is then coupled to a school's mixture of what a diverse class should look like, with the result that passport, ethnic origin and sex can all become influencing factors. But schools rarely dig down to find out what really makes an applicant succeed, to create a class which also contains diversity of attitude and approach-arguably the only diversity that, in a business context, really matters.
Professor Gauthier believes schools should not just be selecting candidates from traditional sectors such as banking, consultancy and industry. They should also be seeking individuals who have backgrounds in areas such as political science, the creative arts, history or philosophy, which will allow them to put business decisions into a wider context.
Indeed, there does seem to be a demand for the more rounded leaders such diversity might create. A study by Mannaz, a leadership development company, suggests that, while the bully-boy chief executive of old may not have been removed completely, there is a definite shift in emphasis towards less tough styles of management-at least in America and Europe. Perhaps most significant, according to Mannaz, is the increasing interest large companies have in more collaborative management models, such as those popular in Scandinavia, which seek to combine the hard and soft aspects of leadership and encourage delegated responsibility.
42. What characterizes the business school student population of today
A. Greater diversity B. Intellectual maturity.
C. Exceptional diligence. D. Higher ambition.
43. What is the author's concern about current business school education
A. It will arouse students' unrealistic expectation.
B. It will produce business leaders of a uniform style.
C. It focuses on theory rather than on practical skills.
D. It stresses competition rather than cooperation.
44. What aspect of diversity does Valerie Gauthier think is most important
A. Age and educational background.
B. Social and professional experience.
C. Attitude and approach to business.
D Ethnic origin and gender.
45. What applicants does the author think MBA programs should consider recruiting
A. Applicants with prior experience in business companies.
B. Applicants with sound knowledge in math and statistics.
C. Applicants from outside the traditional sectors.
D. Applicants from less developed regions and areas.

One Dollar a Night in New York
When it comes to finding a place to stay for a night in New York, things don’t always come cheap.
However, artist Miao Jiaxin, a Shanghai native who moved to New York in 2006, is offering people the chance to stay in his apartment in Brooklyn. ___47___
Guests can easily book Miao’s room on the Internet. Nevertheless, although they will be housed in his apartment, it appears to have more in common with a jail cell than a regular bedroom as a cage in the center of the room is where guests will stay.
___48___ Guests must stay in the cage for three hours each morning. “From 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., you can’t access the Internet, and there are no electronic devices, books, radio, pens or craftwork. You can’t talk to anybody. You can’t do Yoga or any other exercises. And you can’t even sleep,” writes Miao. If you break any of those rules above, you will be fined 100 dollars.
Meanwhile, the cage is monitored and recorded by two cameras and the activity of guests is filmed for the whole time they stay in the cell.
___49___ They can enjoy great views of New York on the roof deck outside the room.
The room is inspired by the alienation (疏离感) Miao felt as a new immigrant—feelings he believes are universal. “It’s not for fun. It’s for an experience. ___50___” said Miao.
A. It’s too expensive for common people to afford.
B. Actually, Miao’s room is so popular that you have to book three months in advance.
C. It’s only one dollar a night.
D. Miao says that to live in his jail cell, people don’t have to be a criminal, but there are a number of rules that need to be followed.
E. More like a psychological New York City experience.
F. Despite the strict rules, guests are given a key to the cage to let themselves in and out as they please.
