He had more than 160 reports as a reporter on the Metro desk and more than 170 in 19 months as a national journalist based in Kansas City, Mo. But perhaps the most important piece of writing that A. G. Sulzberger did for The New York Times before Wednesday — when he was named deputy publisher — was not an article and was not published in The Times, but was all about The Times.
That work came to be known as the “innovation (创新) report”， which zeroed in on the importance of a digital future for the newspaper his family has owned since 1896 and said The Times risked losing its leading place if it did not make sweeping changes.
In a conversation in his office on Wednesday, Mr. Sulzberger said he saw the innovation report and the thinking that led to his conclusions as “a wake up call to the newsroom that we were at risk of missing the moment”．
“It was always easy to see how changes will endanger the traditions of the place，” he said, “but what became really clear to me was not changing was the more dangerous course if we cared about the traditions of the place.”
Unlike some of the former deputy publishers in his role, Mr. Sulzberger has been more experienced in the newsroom than in advertising or consumer marketing. Still, his colleagues described him as a quick study whose modesty masked deep inner confidence. Besides, in the newsroom or out on an assignment, Mr. Sulzberger did not show off his connection to The Times' owners. “I recognized the name，” said Vincent Bova, a video editor who figured in a feature article that Mr. Sulzberger wrote in 2010. “I mean, I knew I was dealing with royalty. There was no reason for me to bring that up with him, and he didn't.” So Mr. Sulzberger, in some way, has qualified himself for the position since long time ago.

A．urge revolutions in The Times
B．gain the position of deputy publisher
C．promote changes in New York City
D．show directions to his family future

6．How does the author show us what Mr. Sulzberger is like in the last paragraph
A．By comparing him with others.
B．By interviewing him in person.
C．By giving examples of his routines.
D．By quoting comments from others.
7．What does the author think of Mr. Sulzberger according to the passage
A．Casual. B．Objective.
C．Admirable. D．Critical.

Patients in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease often struggle to remember recently learned information, meaning they forget things like important appointments or where they left their keys. But it seems that these memories are not lost. They are still filed away in the brain somewhere; they just can't be easily accessed.
Now, researchers at MIT have developed a means of getting back memories in mice suffering from Alzheimer's. The method relies on a technique that uses light to control genetically modified neurons (转基因神经元). Currently it is too early to be used in human trials as it involves inserting light emitting (发光) equipment into the subjects' brains, but the same principles still apply, the researchers said.
“The important point is that this is evidence of concept. That is, even if a memory seems to be gone, it is still there. It's a matter of how to get it back，” said senior researcher Susumu Tonegawa.
The team took two groups of mice, one genetically engineered to develop Alzheimer's and one healthy. They then placed them into a room and gave them a mild electric shock. All of the mice showed fear when put back in an hour later. When placed in the room a third time several days later, the Alzheimer's mice acted normally. They had forgotten the shock.
The researchers were then able to bring back the memory of the shock by activating (激活) the cells in which the memories were stored. Even when the mice were put into an unfamiliar room, they showed fear when the cells associated with the shock were activated.
“Short term memory seems to be normal, on the order of hours. But for long term memory, these early Alzheimer's mice seem to be damaged，” said lead researcher Dheeraj Roy. “Directly activating the cells that we believe are holding the memory helps them get it back. This suggests that it is indeed an access problem to the information, not that they're unable to learn or store this memory.”
8．What can we learn about the researchers at MIT
A．They are the pioneers of brain research.
B．They have used the method in human trials.
C．They can cure Alzheimer's using the new method.
D．They can get back memories in mice with Alzheimer's.
9．Why did the Alzheimer's mice behave normally a third time
A．They failed to remember the electric shock.
B．They were accustomed to the situation.
C．They managed to overcome the fear.
D．They activated the association automatically.
10．For long term memory, the early Alzheimer's mice ________.
A．can transform their brain cells
B．can't learn new tricks well
C．can easily get back their memory
D．can't access the information stored
11．The main purpose of the text is to ________.
A．introduce a method of a research
B．report the latest discovery about a disease
C．give advice on how to improve memory
D．explain how the brain stores information

“A wonderful emotion to get things moving when one is stuck is anger. It was anger more than anything else that had set me off, leading to productivity and creativity，” Mary Garden, a Scottish musician, said.
Creative people may experience emotions very deeply and strongly, and feel at times they need to shut off or escape from some of them.
Sharon M. Barnes is a psychotherapist, serving children, teens and adults with social & emotional needs. She said, “Many highly creative people have emotions and are in touch with their feelings, but they struggle to find their balance emotionally.”
Sharon once thought about why social and emotional needs are so vital to and yet so difficult for so many highly creative people. She found the answer when talking with one of the painters consulting her. She helped the painter deal with strong emotions connected with the hard times he was going through. “As I was talking with him, a picture suddenly appeared in my head: emotions are much like ocean waves，” she said. “Ocean waves come in many shapes, sizes, speeds and intensities (强度). So do emotions. Ocean waves are influenced by many things including the gravitational pull (万有引力) of the moon, the shape and movement of the ocean floor and the weather. Our emotions are influenced by the gravitational pull of our relationships, the ups and downs of our health and energy, and the ‘weather’ of the events in our lives.” “Sometimes life can seem like the experience of a surfer caught in the ‘washing machine’， where he gets caught in wave after wave and can have trouble even coming up for air，” she added.
12．What do Mary Garden's words suggest
A．Anger can be of great help to her.
B．She never tries to control her anger.
C．She often feels angry when working.
D．Anger is often the theme of her music.
13．What does Barnes think of highly creative people
A．They experience strong emotions more often.
B．It's difficult for them to deal with their emotions.
C．It's unnecessary for them to control their emotions.
D．They don't have a good understanding of themselves.
14．Why does Barnes compare emotions to ocean waves
A．They can be influential.
B．They can be dangerous.
C．They are too changeable to deal with.
D．They are too strong to control at times.
15．What may be the best title for the text
A．Waves and creativity
B．Learning about emotions
C．How to control emotions
D．Creative people's emotions

Things to stop doing if you want to exercise
How many times have you been told doing exercise is great Yet, we regularly spend time not exercising. However, there are several things you can stop doing to help you make up your mind to exercise.
Stop waiting to feel like exercising. After 20 years of exercise, it's a rare morning that I really feel like getting out of bed at 5：30 for a workout (锻炼). __16__ So, why do I do it It isn't the wish to exercise that gets me out of bed, but a combination of habit and discipline (纪律)．
Stop setting unrealistic (不切实际的) goals. Yes, it seems like working out for a week or two should produce a good result — your pants should be falling off your body after all that pain and suffering. The reality is a little less than thrilling. __17__ Sometimes it's even worse — you may actually gain weight. This usually lasts for a limited time, but it's still no fun to experience.
Stop making excuses. We can all come up with tons of reasons to leave exercise out. We're too busy. We're tired. __18__ Strangely enough, people who exercise have the same problems, but they somehow manage to exercise every day.
__19__ If there's one thing that's certain in life, it's that we will fail. You are likely to fail in taking exercise.

The trick isn't to try to be perfect, but to allow for those times in your life when you just can't work out.
A．Stop being afraid to fail.
B．I don't even want to get up at all.
C．We really need to clean out the car.
D．Stop waiting for the perfect time to exercise.
E．Too often, we wait for the reason to exercise.

Things to stop doing if you want to exercise
How many times have you been told doing exercise is great Yet, we regularly spend time not exercising. However, there are several things you can stop doing to help you make up your mind to exercise.
Stop waiting to feel like exercising. After 20 years of exercise, it's a rare morning that I really feel like getting out of bed at 5：30 for a workout (锻炼). __16__ So, why do I do it It isn't the wish to exercise that gets me out of bed, but a combination of habit and discipline (纪律)．
Stop setting unrealistic (不切实际的) goals. Yes, it seems like working out for a week or two should produce a good result — your pants should be falling off your body after all that pain and suffering. The reality is a little less than thrilling. __17__ Sometimes it's even worse — you may actually gain weight. This usually lasts for a limited time, but it's still no fun to experience.
Stop making excuses. We can all come up with tons of reasons to leave exercise out. We're too busy. We're tired. __18__ Strangely enough, people who exercise have the same problems, but they somehow manage to exercise every day.
__19__ If there's one thing that's certain in life, it's that we will fail. You are likely to fail in taking exercise. It's not that you are weak. __20__ There will be times when you're sick, injured, on vacation or going through something that forces you to give up your exercise program. It's just what happens. The trick isn't to try to be perfect, but to allow for those times in your life when you just can't work out.
A．Stop being afraid to fail.
B．I don't even want to get up at all.
C．We really need to clean out the car.
D．Stop waiting for the perfect time to exercise.
E．Too often, we wait for the reason to exercise.
F．It's simply that you can't expect to be able to exercise all the time.
G．Sometimes, nothing much happens except sore muscles and disappointment.
语篇解读：如果你想要下定决心坚持锻炼，就应该摒弃一些关于锻炼的错误认知。
16．选B 上一句作者提到20年来他很少愿意早起，B项说自己甚至不想起床，两句之间是递进关系。
17．选G 根据本空后的“Sometimes it's even worse”可知，此处也是说一种锻炼达不到预期的糟糕情况，G项说有时候锻炼只会带来酸痛的肌肉和失望，故为正确答案。
18．选C 本段主旨是停止找借口不去锻炼，C项就是上文提到的tons of reasons中的一个借口，与本空前的两句话构成并列。
19．选A 此处需要一个主旨句。根据本段中的关键信息词fail 可知A项为正确答案。
20．选F 上一句说不能坚持锻炼的原因并非是因为无能，F项说的是真正的原因，两句中的It's not that 和It's simply that形成对比。此外，下文举的例子正是对F项的补充说明。
Ⅲ.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
The neighborhood kids must use a spotter. As soon as Anton's __21__ is detected, they pour out of their homes and run to him, __22__ he were a conquering hero.

When I finally call Anton in for supper, they __27__ him to the door. Ashley asks __28__， “Will he come out again？” I said gently, “If Anton eats his peas.”
I once didn't understand where the __29__ lay. And then, the other day, as I was watching him playing outside with his younger followers I think I __30__ it. Anton will give anybody a(n) __31__ to form a friendship with him, and his interests are so general that he's genuinely __32__ of almost anything: a jump in the river, a game of badminton, frog collecting, skateboarding ...

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，讲的是体育锻炼不仅能让我们强身健体，而且能让我们精力充沛，与同事和谐相处，提高工作效率。
41．have discovered 考查时态。本句中的时间状语“over the past decade”表明该句应用现在完成时。
42．on 考查介词。名词impact与介词on连用，表示“对……的影响”。
43．can 考查情态动词。研究表明，把经常性的锻炼纳入日常生活中能提高注意力，增强记忆力，帮助减少压力。can“能，会”，符合语境。
44．suggesting 考查非谓语动词。动词suggest与其逻辑主语evidence之间是主谓关系，因此用现在分词作后置定语。
45．researchers 考查名词。本句缺主语，故填research的名词形式。依据下一句中的“They found”可知，这里应用复数形式，指研究人员让这些员工报告自己的表现。
46．when/after 考查连词。分析句子结构可知，此处指当员工参加锻炼时或参加锻炼后，故填when或after。
47．They 考查代词。根据上文中的“over 200 employees ... self report ...”可知，这里指这些被调查的员工，故用They。
48．However 考查副词。根据下文中的“many of us can't take exercise regularly”可知前后文在内容上形成对比，且空后有逗号，故此处应用However。
49．what 考查主语从句。分析句子结构及语境可知，空处引导主语从句且作动词mean的宾语，故what“什么，所……的”符合语境。
50．started/should start 考查固定句式。在it is time (that) ...的句式中，that后面的从句用“主语＋did/should do ... ”结构，其中不能省略should。
Ⅴ.短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

Let's develop a healthy lifestyle
According to a survey among middle school students, many students have the following bad habits: staying up late; going to school without breakfast and often eating instant noodles; spending much time chatting on QQ or playing computer games.
As we know, if we often stay up late, we will feel tired and sleepy during the daytime and cannot concentrate in class. Going to school without breakfast or eating instant noodles will cause a lack of nutrition. Spending too much time on QQ or computer games will do harm to our eyes.
In terms of study and health, we should develop a healthy lifestyle. First, go to bed earlier instead of staying up late. Second, keep a balanced diet to build up our bodies. Third, don't spend too much time on the Internet. Actually, there are varieties of activities for us to relax ourselves, such as doing sports or listening to music.
