At age 14, Kristin Beale suffered injuries in an accident. She was riding one Jet Ski on a lake when a schoolmate ran over her, leaving her with a serious spinal cord (脊髓) injury.
Before the accident, Beale was an active student at Henrico’s Deep Run High School, involved in competition cheerleading and hockey. Afterward, she had to relearn how to perform daily tasks. “When I was in hospital, doctors told my parents I would be a vegetable, and that I wouldn’t be able to breathe or swallow. I wanted to disprove everything they had on their list,” she says.
Beale began writing about her experiences while working on her recovery in California. By the time she finished, she had written 32 stories. She narrowed them down and eventually gathered them into her first nonfiction book, “Greater Things”, about how people react to her and how she has overcome her injuries and stays positive. “I never thought it would become a book, but that’s how it all started,” Beale says.
Her second book, “Date Me”, is a collection of comics coming from three dozen unsuccessful dates. “I would turn those dates into comic strips,” Beale says. Instead of typical banter, she says, each meeting was a “disability-centered date. It felt like interviewing about my disability. I would open up on the dates.” Trying to find humor in something that is not really funny. Beale drew comics about her dates’ reactions to her wheelchair-bound status. She didn’t start dating to get material for a book. Beale notes, “I love to meet people, go out and do things. It turned into,’ How can I turn a waste of time and hurt feelings into something good ’”
Now working as a literary scout for her publisher, Morgan James Publishing in Hampton, Beale continues to write. Another nonfiction book, “A Million Suns”, details her journey “from the darkness of disability into the sunlight of circumstance” and how she has found happiness.
4. What might be on the doctors’ “list” for Beale
A. Daily tasks for treatment. B. Consequences of Beale’s injury.
C. Diets during recovery. D. Instructions on using drugs.
5. Why did Beale begin writing stories during her recovery
A. To publish a book of her own. B. To cheer herself up in the hospital.
C. To record her experiences after injury. D. To encourage the patients with disabilities.
6. How did Beale usually behave while dating
A. She didn’t take it seriously. B. She was careful and sensitive.
C. She talked with a sense of humor. D. She was honest and open-minded.
7. What’s the theme of the book “A Million Suns”
A. Beale’s skills in successful dates. B. Beale’s theory on true happiness.
C. Beale’s dream of a brighter future. D. Beale’s struggle with spinal cord injury.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了14岁的Kristin Beale在一次事故中脊髓严重损伤，她没有放弃。Beale在加州康复期间开始写她的经历，并在此后继续写作。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““When I was in hospital, doctors told my parents I would be a vegetable, and that I wouldn’t be able to breathe or swallow. I wanted to disprove everything they had on their list,” she says.(“当我在医院的时候，医生告诉我的父母，我将成为一个植物人，我将无法呼吸或吞咽。我想推翻他们清单上的所有东西，”她说)”可知，医生给Beale的“清单”上可能有Beale受伤的后果。故选B。
【5题详解】

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I would open up on the dates.” Trying to find humor in something that is not really funny. Beale drew comics about her dates’ reactions to her wheelchair-bound status.(约会的时候我会敞开心扉。”试着在一点都不好笑的事情中找到幽默。Beale画了一些漫画来描述她的约会对象对她轮椅状态的反应)”推知，Beale在约会时通常诚实且思想开放。故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“She was riding one Jet Ski on a lake when a schoolmate ran over her, leaving her with a serious spinal cord (脊髓) injury.(她在湖上玩水上摩托艇时被一名同学碾过，导致脊髓严重损伤)”以及最后一段“Another nonfiction book, “A Million Suns”, details her journey “from the darkness of disability into the sunlight of circumstance” and how she has found happiness.(另一本非虚构类书籍《一百万个太阳》详述了她“从残疾的黑暗走向环境的阳光”的旅程，以及她是如何找到幸福的)”可知，《一百万个太阳》这本书的主题是Beale与脊髓损伤的斗争。故选D。
C
If quiet listening involves being silent to give people room to talk, loud listening is about saying things intended to get a reaction out of them. This was the way Steve Jobs listened. He would put a strong point of view on the table and insist on a response. Why do I call this listening, instead of talking, or even yelling (吼叫) Because Steve didn’t just challenge others; he insisted that they challenge him back.
Obviously, this approach works only when people feel confident enough to rise to the challenge. Just as some people are frightened by quiet listening, other people are offended (冒犯) by loud listening. If you are a loud listener, how do you deal with people who are either constitutionally unable to stand up to an aggressive (强势的) boss or whose position is too unimportant to allow them to feel secure, even if the larger culture welcomes this behavior
If you have a loud listening style, you need to go to some lengths to build the confidence of those who you’re making uncomfortable. And as people witness one another challenging the boss, they will grow to feel it’s safe to do so as well. You don’t have to adopt Steve’s style to be a loud listener. Paul Saffo, an engineering professor at Stanford, describes a technique he calls “strong opinions, weakly held.” Saffo has made the point that expressing strong, some might say unacceptable, positions to others is a good way to get to a better answer, or at least to have a more interesting conversation.
I love this approach in my sales work. I’ve always found that saying what I think really clearly and then going to great lengths to encourage disagreement is a good way to listen. I tend to state my positions strongly, so I have had to learn to follow up with, “Please poke holes in this idea — I know it may be terrible. So tell me all the reasons we should not do that in our marketing.”
8. What kind of listener was Steve Jobs
A. He would listen attentively. B. He would push for a response.
C. He presented his views peacefully. D. He seldom contradicted the speaker.
9. On what occasion can you use the loud listening style according to the author
A. When you feel sure about your topic.
B. When you’re facing a rather aggressive boss.
C. When people talking to you are in a lower position.
D. When people feel safe about challenging your authority.
10. What does the underlined part “poke holes” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Find mistakes. B. Become interested. C. Make predictions. D. Keep balanced.
11. What does the author most probably do
A. A college professor. B. A business manager.
C. A book reviewer. D. A television presenter.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了“大声倾听”这种倾听方式的特点以及具体应用。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“This was the way Steve Jobs listened. He would put a strong point of view on the table and insist on a response.(这就是史蒂夫·乔布斯倾听的方式。他会提出一个强有力的观点，并坚持要求对方作出回应)”可知，史蒂夫·乔布斯是会要求回应的听众。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“If you have a loud listening style, you need to go to some lengths to build the confidence of those who you’re making uncomfortable. And as people witness one another challenging the boss, they will grow to feel it’s safe to do so as well.(如果你的倾听风格是大嗓门，那么你就需要花些力气去建立那些被你弄得不自在的人的信心。当人们目睹彼此挑战上司时，他们也会逐渐觉得这样做是安全的)”可知，当人们对挑战你的权威感到安全时，你可以使用大声听的方式。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“I know it may be terrible. So tell me all the reasons we should not do that in our marketing.”可知，作者认为在想法中找出错误是很糟糕的，作者认为不应该在营销中这么做。故划线词意思是“找出错误”。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I love this approach in my sales work.(我喜欢在我的销售工作中使用这种方法)”以及“So tell me all the reasons we should not do that in our marketing.(所以请告诉我，我们不应该在营销中这么做的所有理由)”结合选项可推知，作者有可能是业务经理。故选B。
D
“Giraffenap” has been created by a Japanese company and is intended to allow the user to take a rest while standing when you feel tired or sleepy with the aim of improving performance at work.
Rather than relying on coffee and endless yawns to try and make it through the workday Koyoju Plywood Corporation declared about the “Giraffenap” that the nap box will allow you to “be refreshed” in just 20 minutes.
Giving in to your sleepiness and taking a 20-minute nap will apparently help improve your performance by recovering from tiredness, reducing stress, restoring memory and concentration, and improving creativity. A study by NASA has found that pilots who took a 26-minute nap experienced a 34 percent improvement in performance, and a 16 percent improvement in reaction time. “As a new way to take a break, we will provide a space where you can take a nap while standing in the office,” the site explains.
But why does it have to be standing Well, the site explains that the research by Hokkaido University showed that sleeping while standing allows you to reach a sleep state in which you breathe lightly, so when you wake up you can feel the effect of a nap without having to sleep too much, and you can quickly return to work without feeling dizzy. Plus, making the box vertical (垂直的) rather than horizontal means that it takes up half as much floor space and makes it less likely that your boss will say there just isn’t room. The box also comes equipped with a fire extinguisher, smoke detector, and LED lighting for safety, and it blocks out sound from the outside to ensure a calm, sleep-worthy environment.
Now, I know what you’re thinking—wouldn’t you just fall down if you tried to sleep while standing Well, not with Giraffenap’s design. The box is equipped with four points to support the body at the head, butt, legs and feet, meaning you can relax in the box while still remaining upright.
12. Where is the “Giraffenap” designed to be used
A. At home. B. In the field.
C. In the workplace. D. In the classroom.
13. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. The benefits from taking a nap. B. The new finding by NASA.
C. The ways of improving productivity. D. The pilots’ experience with the “Giraffenap”.
14. Why does the “Giraffenap” come in a vertical shape
A. It will ensure the sleepers’ safety. B. The sleepers can breathe slowly.
C. It will occupy much less floor space. D. The sleepers can enter a deeper sleep state.
15. What can we infer about the sleepers in the “Giraffenap”
A. They have limited mobility. B. They will be disturbed by noise.
C. They come out feeling pretty dizzy. D. They’re likely to suffer injuries.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了日本一家公司发明的“Giraffenap”的特殊之处和工作原理、意义等。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段““Giraffenap” has been created by a Japanese company and is intended to allow the user to take a rest while standing when you feel tired or sleepy with the aim of improving performance at work. (日本一家公司发明了这款名为“Giraffenap”的睡椅，当你感到疲倦或困倦时，它可以让你站着休息一下，以提高工作效率)”可知，Giraffenap被设计用于工作场所。故选C。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第三段“Giving in to your sleepiness and taking a 20-minute nap will apparently help improve your performance by recovering from tiredness, reducing stress, restoring memory and concentration, and improving creativity. A study by NASA has found that pilots who took a 26-minute nap experienced a 34 percent improvement in performance, and a 16 percent improvement in reaction time. “As a new way to take a break, we will provide a space where you can take a nap while standing in the office,” the site explains. (向困倦屈服，小睡20分钟，显然能帮助你从疲劳中恢复过来，减轻压力，恢复记忆力和注意力，提高创造力，从而提高你的表现。美国国家航空航天局的一项研究发现，小睡26分钟的飞行员在工作表现上提高了34%，反应时间提高了16%。该网站解释说：“作为一种新的休息方式，我们将提供一个空间，让你站在办公室里打盹。”)”可知，第三段主要讲述了小睡的好处。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四段中“Plus, making the box vertical (垂直的) rather than horizontal means that it takes up half as much floor space and makes it less likely that your boss will say there just isn’t room. (另外，把盒子竖着放而不是横着放意味着它只占一半的地板空间，这样你的老板就不太可能说没有地方放了)”可知，它是垂直的是因为它将占用更少的占地面积。故选C。
15题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Now, I know what you’re thinking—wouldn’t you just fall down if you tried to sleep while standing Well, not with Giraffenap’s design. The box is equipped with four points to support the body at the head, butt, legs and feet, meaning you can relax in the box while still remaining upright. (现在，我知道你在想什么——如果你站着睡觉，难道不会摔倒吗？好吧，Giraffenap的设计不会。这个盒子有四个点来支撑身体的头部、臀部、腿和脚，这意味着你可以在盒子里放松，同时保持直立)”可知，“Giraffenap”中的睡眠者行动受限。故选A。

One day, Alex, a 12-year-old school boy in a small town, got the news that the World Chess Championship was taking place in the neighboring city of Grandington. Fueled by his deep passion for chess, Alex decided to enter the competition, even though he was not officially invited.

The tournament organizers were surprised to see such a young boy standing before them, but they couldn’t turn him away. Sensing his determination, they allowed him to participate, considering it a good opportunity for the other players to show their skills against a young talent.
As the championship progressed, Alex’s opponents thought nothing of him due to his age. They saw him as an easy win, but little did they know that Alex possessed a strategic mind and a skill of unconventional moves. With each round, Alex astonished the players with his brilliant plays. Word quickly spread about the young talent who had accidentally entered the championship. The media became excited by Alex’s story, and soon cameras and reporters flocked to capture his journey.

At age 14, Kristin Beale suffered injuries in an accident. She was riding one Jet Ski on a lake when a schoolmate ran over her, leaving her with a serious spinal cord (脊髓) injury.
Before the accident, Beale was an active student at Henrico’s Deep Run High School, involved in competition cheerleading and hockey. Afterward, she had to relearn how to perform daily tasks. “When I was in hospital, doctors told my parents I would be a vegetable, and that I wouldn’t be able to breathe or swallow. I wanted to disprove everything they had on their list,” she says.
Beale began writing about her experiences while working on her recovery in California. By the time she finished, she had written 32 stories. She narrowed them down and eventually gathered them into her first nonfiction book, “Greater Things”, about how people react to her and how she has overcome her injuries and stays positive. “I never thought it would become a book, but that’s how it all started,” Beale says.
Her second book, “Date Me”, is a collection of comics coming from three dozen unsuccessful dates. “I would turn those dates into comic strips,” Beale says. Instead of typical banter, she says, each meeting was a “disability-centered date. It felt like interviewing about my disability. I would open up on the dates.” Trying to find humor in something that is not really funny. Beale drew comics about her dates’ reactions to her wheelchair-bound status. She didn’t start dating to get material for a book. Beale notes, “I love to meet people, go out and do things. It turned into,’ How can I turn a waste of time and hurt feelings into something good ’”
Now working as a literary scout for her publisher, Morgan James Publishing in Hampton, Beale continues to write. Another nonfiction book, “A Million Suns”, details her journey “from the darkness of disability into the sunlight of circumstance” and how she has found happiness.
4. What might be on the doctors’ “list” for Beale
A. Daily tasks for treatment. B. Consequences of Beale’s injury.
C. Diets during recovery. D. Instructions on using drugs.
5 Why did Beale begin writing stories during her recovery
A. To publish a book of her own. B. To cheer herself up in the hospital.
C. To record her experiences after injury. D. To encourage the patients with disabilities.
6. How did Beale usually behave while dating
A. She didn’t take it seriously. B. She was careful and sensitive.
C. She talked with a sense of humor. D. She was honest and open-minded.
7. What’s the theme of the book “A Million Suns”
A. Beale’s skills in successful dates. B. Beale’s theory on true happiness.
C. Beale’s dream of a brighter future. D. Beale’s struggle with spinal cord injury.

If quiet listening involves being silent to give people room to talk, loud listening is about saying things intended to get a reaction out of them. This was the way Steve Jobs listened. He would put a strong point of view on the table and insist on a response. Why do I call this listening, instead of talking, or even yelling (吼叫) Because Steve didn’t just challenge others; he insisted that they challenge him back.
Obviously, this approach works only when people feel confident enough to rise to the challenge. Just as some people are frightened by quiet listening, other people are offended (冒犯) by loud listening. If you are a loud listener, how do you deal with people who are either constitutionally unable to stand up to an aggressive (强势的) boss or whose position is too unimportant to allow them to feel secure, even if the larger culture welcomes this behavior
If you have a loud listening style, you need to go to some lengths to build the confidence of those who you’re making uncomfortable. And as people witness one another challenging the boss, they will grow to feel it’s safe to do so as well. You don’t have to adopt Steve’s style to be a loud listener. Paul Saffo, an engineering professor at Stanford, describes a technique he calls “strong opinions, weakly held.” Saffo has made the point that expressing strong, some might say unacceptable, positions to others is a good way to get to a better answer, or at least to have a more interesting conversation.
I love this approach in my sales work. I’ve always found that saying what I think really clearly and then going to great lengths to encourage disagreement is a good way to listen. I tend to state my positions strongly, so I have had to learn to follow up with, “Please poke holes in this idea — I know it may be terrible. So tell me all the reasons we should not do that in our marketing.”

“Giraffenap” has been created by a Japanese company and is intended to allow the user to take a rest while standing when you feel tired or sleepy with the aim of improving performance at work.
Rather than relying on coffee and endless yawns to try and make it through the workday, Koyoju Plywood Corporation declared about the “Giraffenap” that the nap box will allow you to “be refreshed” in just 20 minutes.
Giving in to your sleepiness and taking a 20-minute nap will apparently help improve your performance by recovering from tiredness, reducing stress, restoring memory and concentration, and improving creativity. A study by NASA has found that pilots who took a 26-minute nap experienced a 34 percent improvement in performance, and a 16 percent improvement in reaction time. “As a new way to take a break, we will provide a space where you can take a nap while standing in the office,” the site explains.
But why does it have to be standing Well, the site explains that the research by Hokkaido University showed that sleeping while standing allows you to reach a sleep state in which you breathe lightly, so when you wake up you can feel the effect of a nap without having to sleep too much, and you can quickly return to work without feeling dizzy. Plus, making the box vertical (垂直的) rather than horizontal means that it takes up half as much floor space and makes it less likely that your boss will say there just isn’t room. The box also comes equipped with a fire extinguisher, smoke detector, and LED lighting for safety, and it blocks out sound from the outside to ensure a calm, sleep-worthy environment.
Now, I know what you’re thinking—wouldn’t you just fall down if you tried to sleep while standing Well, not with Giraffenap’s design. The box is equipped with four points to support the body at the head, butt, legs and feet, meaning you can relax in the box while still remaining upright.
12. Where is the “Giraffenap” designed to be used
A. At home. B. In the field.
C In the workplace. D. In the classroom.
13. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. The benefits from taking a nap. B. The new finding by NASA.
C. The ways of improving productivity. D. The pilots’ experience with the “Giraffenap”.
14. Why does the “Giraffenap” come in a vertical shape
A. It will ensure the sleepers’ safety. B. The sleepers can breathe slowly.
C. It will occupy much less floor space. D. The sleepers can enter a deeper sleep state.
15. What can we infer about the sleepers in the “Giraffenap”
A. They have limited mobility. B. They will be disturbed by noise.
C. They come out feeling pretty dizzy. D. They’re likely to suffer injuries.
