A
What I like to advise people is to find out what it is that makes them happy. What do you love to do If you truly love what you do just go ahead and try to make a living by doing it. People will throw money at you to do it. But you will always have to work hard at it. I have to draw every single day of my life. I have to draw about 20 ideas. My advice is to put aside a certain amount of time every day and make you draw or whatever, especially when you don’t feel like it. Only in this way will you be able to perfect your talent.
The first step you take is to go to your local library and ask for the publications issued in the current years. When you get these publications, try to find the names of the top people concerned and their presidents. After you find these, write down their names and addresses. Keep this list and update it every year. Next thing you want to do is to create at least 40 cartoons. Get a grid (格子) from one of the strips in the newspapers, enlarge it to whatever size you wish and draw inside this grid. Now take the best 20 of your ideas and make them into finished pieces. To do this, you would want to copy them in ink because if you were a professional cartoonist, that was what you should do. Now you can reduce the size of the finished cartoons to fit onto a regular comic’s page. By comparing yours with the others already in print, it gives you a good idea of clarity to your cartoon.
The next step is to write letters to presidents of the publication. In the letters, explain who you think would read your work, or in other words, what group do you think you would target. After you complete these, send all of your information enclosed with letters in the appropriate envelope.
Now as soon as you send out these letters, start to create a brand new strip with all new characters. Don’t get married to one idea because if your idea gets turned down then you will give up. And always remember if you receive a rejection from any of them, keep in mind that you are working on something better. You will be working on something new and more exciting and the rejection letter will not have any impact. With this in mind…
21. What is the advice from the writer in the first paragraph when you want to succeed in your life
A. Stop doing anything until you find something quite suitable for your future career.
B. Put aside a certain amount of time every day to consider how to make a living.
C. Make a living by something that you truly like to do as your profession and work hard at it.
D. Perfect your talent only by drawing some cartoons.
22. The purpose of writing a letter to the president was to ____.
A. get some money to support the later career
B. enclose the information on how to become cartoonists with the letter
C. focus his attention on the work
D. explain who would be the readers of the work
23. The underlined phrase “get married to one idea” in the last paragraph probably refers to ______.
A. having a strong desire to get married
B. fixing all attention on one idea
C. marrying someone is a good ideas
D. refusing one idea to get married
【答案】21. C 22. D 23. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者在本文中建议我们要做自己真正喜欢的事情，而且要全力以赴地去做。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“What I like to advise people is to find out what it is that makes them happy. What do you love to do If you truly love what you do just go ahead and try to make a living by doing it.(我想给人们的建议是，找出让他们快乐的是什么。你喜欢做什么？如果你真的热爱你所做的事情，那就勇往直前，试着以此谋生)”可推知，作者建议我们做自己真正喜欢的事情来谋生，并且全力以赴地去做。故选C。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The next step is to write letters to presidents of the publication. In the letters, explain who you think would read your work, or in other words, what group do you think you would target.(下一步是给出版物的总裁写信。在信中，解释你认为谁会读你的作品，或者换句话说，你认为你的目标群体是什么)”可知，写信的目的是为了解释你的目标人群是什么。故选D。
【23题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“because if your idea gets turned down then you will give up. And always remember if you receive a rejection from any of them, keep in mind that you are working on something better. You will be working on something new and more exciting and the rejection letter will not have any impact.(因为如果你的想法被拒绝了，你就会放弃。如果你被其中任何一个拒绝了，请记住你正在做更好的事情。你将从事一些新的、更令人兴奋的工作，拒绝信不会有任何影响)”可推知，作者建议我们不要把自己的思想仅仅禁锢在某一个方面，否则，一旦当我们被拒绝的时候，我们就会很放弃，因为我们没有别的选择。由此可知，划线词组get married to one idea与fixing all attention on one idea“把所有的注意力集中在一个想法上”意思一致。故选B。

Most people can't live to 100． Those who do live so long can hardly walk， let alone take part in any activities． A few people， however， take part in dangerous activities even though they are more than 100 years old﹣ They keep going and going! There is a great grandmother who likes challenging herself although she is 101 years old this year．
Mary Hardison believes that people should always be cheerful and more importantly， take on all kinds of adventures while they physically still can． So， instead of celebrating her 101st birthday with a boring party， she decided to go paragliding（滑翔跳伞）﹣ an idea she got from her 75﹣year﹣old son who recently took it up as a hobby．

Working up a credit score for Walter Cavanagh has got to be a mathematical nightmare ﹣ the man has nearly 1，500 valid credit cards to his name and holds the Guinness Record for the most credit cards． Mr． Plastic Fantastic ﹣ a title given to him by Guinness World Records ﹣ is also the proud owner of the world's longest wallet， which can hold about 800 cards． But he uses it only to carry a few cards， while the rest are safely kept in bank safedeposit boxes．
Cavanagh started collecting credit cards in the late 1960s． "One of my best friends and I made a silly bet： the guy who could collect the most credit cards by the end of the year would win dinner，" he said． " I got 143 cards by the end of the year， and my friend gathered 138．" After winning that bet， Cavanagh decided to simply keep going with his unusual collection． He got credit cards from gas stations， airlines， bars， and even ice cream stores．
If there's one card missing from Cavanagh's collection， it's that from the Newberry Company． They repulsed his application for a card in the early 1970s， even though he'd collected over 100 by then． They said he had too much credit． Therefore， so far he hasn't had a Newberry card in his collection．
Cavanagh hasn't stopped applying for new cards ﹣ he's held the Guinness Record since 1971 and has no intention of letting go of it． He copies whole pages from a U．S． directory of businesses and keeps sending applications． If he receives a rejection， he writes back to the company explaining his goal and ambition． But he doesn't count useless cards in his total collection．
Thanks to all the cards to his name， Cavanagh has access to about ＄1.7 million at any moment． Despite this privilege， he has managed to maintain an excellent credit score．
The 72﹣year﹣old retired financial planner and credit expert has only one piece of advice to share： "Never use a card to buy anything you can't pay off in a couple of months． If you don't have the discipline， you shouldn't have the cards．"
28. Cavanagh began to collect credit cards when he ．
A. owned a very long wallet
B. made a bet with his friend
C. wanted to create a Guinness Record
D. was treated to dinner by his friend．
29. What does the underlined word "repulsed" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？
A. Rejected．
B. Recalled．
C. Repeated．
D. Recognized．
30. What do the underlined words "the discipline" in the last paragraph probably refer to？
A. Having many cards to your own name．
B. Buying things by card and paying off in time．
C. Managing to own more privileges for your card．
D. Using a card to buy things as many times as possible．
31. What do we know about Cavanagh's cards？
A. Some of them are useless．
B. They are safely kept in his long wallet．
C. They have brought him fame and privilege．
D. Fewer new cards are added to his collections．
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. B 31. C

【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。Walter Cavanagh拥有近1500张有效的信用卡，并拥有最多的信用卡记录，他建议我们要有控制自己的能力，不要超出自己的能力消费。本文介绍了他收集信用卡的经历。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中Cavanagh started collecting credit cards in the late 1960s. “One of my best friends and I made a silly bet（打赌）; the guy who could collect the most credit cards by the end of the year would win dinner,”可知，Cavanagh在和朋友打赌之后开始收集信用卡。故选B。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段开头部分If there’s one card missing from Cavanagh’s collection, it’s that from the Newberry Group. They repulsed his application for a card in the early 1970s以及后文Therefore, so far he hasn’t had a Newberry card in his collection.可知，他的申请被Newberry Group拒绝，所以他没有Newberry的信用卡，repulsed意为“拒绝”，故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Never use a card to buy anything you can’t pay off in a couple of months. If you don’t have the discipline, you shouldn’t have the cards.”可知，在最后一段Cavanagh建议我们要有控制自己的能力。“the discipline”的原则就是：用信用卡买东西，就要及时还款。故选B。

Imagine a town with crosswalks but no pedestrians, cars and trucks but no drivers. Welcome to Mcity, a fake “city” built by researchers who are testing out the driverless cars of the future.
The controlled test environment, which opened today (July 20, 2015) at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, covers 32 acres (the size of about 24 football fields) and contains all the trappings of a real suburb or small city. There is an entire network of roads lined with sidewalks, streetlights, stop signs and traffic signals. There’s even a “downtown” area complete with fake buildings and outdoor dining areas.
The idea behind Mcity is simple: test out new driverless car innovations in a human-free environment before these technologies are unleashed in the real world.
"Mcity is a safe, controlled, and realistic environment where we are going to figure out how the incredible potential of connected and automated vehicles can be realized quickly, efficiently and safely," Peter Sweatman, director of the Mobility Transformation Center at U-M, said in a statement.
The roads of Mcity are built to stand up to “rigorous, repeatable” testing, according to MTC officials. While Mcity drivers don't have to compete with real pedestrians, there will be one mechanical foot-traveler (a robot-like machine named Sebastian) that steps out into traffic to see whether the automated cars can hit the brakes in time. The fake city also features a traffic circle, a bridge, a tunnel, some unpaved roads, and even a four-lane highway with entrance and exit ramps, according to a report by Bloomberg Business.
In addition to evaluating fully automated, or driverless cars, the researchers also hope to test out so-called connected vehicles within Mcity’s limits. Connected cars can either communicate with one another (vehicle-to-vehicle control, or V2V) or with pieces of equipment, such as traffic lights, that are located near roadways (vehicle-to-infrastructure control, or V2I).
Even the smallest details of Mcity have been planned out in advance to copy the conditions that connected and automated vehicles could face in the real world. For example, there are street signs covered up with graffiti, and faded yellow and white lane markings line the streets.
Mcity is just one part of a much larger project that MTC and its partner organizations are establishing in an effort to get a whole fleet of connected and driverless cars on the road in Ann Arbor by 2021. In addition to the fake city, MTC is also continuing to launch connected and semi-autonomous(半自动) cars on real roadways. Eventually, the University of Michigan and the Michigan Department of Transportation said they hope to put 20,000 connected cars on the roads of southern Michigan.
32. According to the passage, Mcity ________.
A. is a real town used to evaluate the function of future cars
B. is a fake city with transportation system but no pedestrians
C. covers an area of 32 acres with as many as 24 football fields
D. owns a downtown area with a bridge and some unpaved roads
33. Why did researchers build Mcity
A. To test new driverless cars.
B. To make a real suburb or small city.
C To control road environment.
D. To build an entire network of roads.
34. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. some connected and semi-autonomous cars have been put into use
B. the researchers plans to create a robot-like machine to direct the traffic
C. the widespread use of driverless cars will soon come into reality in America
D. MTC is attempting to make connected and driverless cars available on real roads
35. How does the passage mainly develop
A. By presenting descriptions of the design.
B. By describing a cause and its effects.
C. By providing the time order.
D. By comparing the opinions.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. A
【解析】

【点睛】完形填空是高考英语中最难的一个题，正确解答完形填空题是考试成功至关重要的保障。完形填空所选的文章都是具有逻辑关系、意义相连的语篇，因此，在行文中不可避免地会出现词语的复现、前后同义或反义、相互照应等现象。所以，解题时应联系上下文寻找相关线索，如某一个词的原词、指代词、同义词、近义词、上义词、下义词和概括词等。完形填空的解题方法很多，而词汇复现法就是最常见的方法之一。词汇复现包括原词复现、同义词复现、同根词复现、概括词复现以及结构复现等。本题中的12小题中的idea和thought采用了同义词或原词复现的方法。但由于我们在做题时不可能总是重复地阅读文章，因此，在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆相关信息的能力。

（3）特殊疑问句的强调句型：被强调部分（通常是疑问代词或疑问副词）+is/was+it+that/who+其它部分？e.g. When and where was it that you were born

2. not...until...句型的强调句：
句型为：It is/was not until+被强调部分+that+其它部分：
e.g. 普通句：He didn't go to bed until/till his wife came back.
强调句：It was not until his wife came back that he went to bed.
3. 强调谓语动词：用助动词do, does或did加动词原形来强调谓语动词。注意：此种强调只用do/does和did，没有别的形式；过去时态用did，后面的谓语动词用原形。如：Do come early. 务必早来。He did send you a letter last week. 昨天他确实寄给你一封信。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。许多感人的故事至今仍深深地留在人们的心中。文章讲述了汶川地震时感人的故事。文章告诉我们“一个人如果在危险的时候爱别人，那他就是伟大的。”
【详解】1.考查情感动词-ed和-ing的用法。句意：许多感人的故事至今仍深植于人们的心中。情感形容词，-ed形式通常修饰“人”；-ing形式通常修饰“物”。故把moved改成moving。

6.考查并列连词。句意：婴儿正在睡觉，一点也没有受伤。此处是并列的递进关系而非转折关系。故把but改成and。
7.考查介词。句意：妈妈和你在一起。be with“和……在一起”。故把for改成with。
8.考查副词。句意：这个故事深深地感动了很多人，包括我。此处表示抽象概念“深深地”。故把deep改成deeply。
9.考查名词的数。句意：当我读到这些话的时候，我忍不住流下了眼泪。根据these可知后面的名词用复数形式。故把word改成words。
10.考查固定搭配。句意：一个人如果在危险的时候爱别人，那他就是伟大的。固定搭配：in danger“在危险中”。故把the去掉。

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
What I like to advise people is to find out what it is that makes them happy. What do you love to do If you truly love what you do just go ahead and try to make a living by doing it. People will throw money at you to do it. But you will always have to work hard at it. I have to draw every single day of my life. I have to draw about 20 ideas. My advice is to put aside a certain amount of time every day and make you draw or whatever, especially when you don’t feel like it. Only in this way will you be able to perfect your talent.
The first step you take is to go to your local library and ask for the publications issued in the current years. When you get these publications, try to find the names of the top people concerned and their presidents. After you find these, write down their names and addresses. Keep this list and update it every year. Next thing you want to do is to create at least 40 cartoons. Get a grid (格子) from one of the strips in the newspapers, enlarge it to whatever size you wish and draw inside this grid. Now take the best 20 of your ideas and make them into finished pieces. To do this, you would want to copy them in ink because if you were a professional cartoonist, that was what you should do. Now you can reduce the size of the finished cartoons to fit onto a regular comic’s page. By comparing yours with the others already in print, it gives you a good idea of clarity to your cartoon.
The next step is to write letters to presidents of the publication. In the letters, explain who you think would read your work, or in other words, what group do you think you would target. After you complete these, send all of your information enclosed with letters in the appropriate envelope.
Now as soon as you send out these letters, start to create a brand new strip with all new characters. Don’t get married to one idea because if your idea gets turned down then you will give up. And always remember if you receive a rejection from any of them, keep in mind that you are working on something better. You will be working on something new and more exciting and the rejection letter will not have any impact. With this in mind…
21. What is the advice from the writer in the first paragraph when you want to succeed in your life
A. Stop doing anything until you find something quite suitable for your future career.
B. Put aside a certain amount of time every day to consider how to make a living.
C. Make a living by something that you truly like to do as your profession and work hard at it.
D. Perfect your talent only by drawing some cartoons.
22. The purpose of writing a letter to the president was to ____.
A. get some money to support the later career
B. enclose the information on how to become cartoonists with the letter
C. focus his attention on the work
D. explain who would be the readers of the work
23. The underlined phrase “get married to one idea” in the last paragraph probably refers to ______.
A. having a strong desire to get married
B fixing all attention on one idea
C. marrying someone is a good ideas
D. refusing one idea to get married
B
Most people can't live to 100． Those who do live so long can hardly walk， let alone take part in any activities． A few people， however， take part in dangerous activities even though they are more than 100 years old﹣ They keep going and going! There is a great grandmother who likes challenging herself although she is 101 years old this year．
Mary Hardison believes that people should always be cheerful and more importantly， take on all kinds of adventures while they physically still can． So， instead of celebrating her 101st birthday with a boring party， she decided to go paragliding（滑翔跳伞）﹣ an idea she got from her 75﹣year﹣old son who recently took it up as a hobby．
So on her birthday， cheered on by her big family， she tied herself up together with expert instructor Kevin Hintze， and jumped down fearlessly from the sky near her home in Ogden， Utah． And， it was not just a simple jump either． According to Kevin Hintze， the grandmother encouraged him to turn around， as they made their way down．
This is not the first time that Mary has done something "wild" and "crazy"． For her 90th birthday she rode all the adult rides at Disneyland． And， she is not done yet﹣ For her 102nd birthday she hopes to go down the 3，000 feet Alpine Slide at Utah's Park City Mountain Resort!
Not surprisingly， this great action has made Mary Hardison very famous and also earned her a place in the Guinness World Records where she broke a 2007 record set by a 100﹣year﹣old British woman． What an amazing lady!
24. What do we know about Mary Hardison？
A. She took up paragliding as her hobby at the age of 75．
B. She is a 101﹣year﹣old lady who likes challenging herself．
C. She was recorded in the Guinness World Records in 2007．
D. She is the oldest woman in the Guinness World Records．
25. From whom did Mary get the idea of going paragliding？

B. Kevin Hintze．
C. Her grandson．
D. Her 75﹣year﹣old son．
26. How does the author feel about Mary's action？

Working up a credit score for Walter Cavanagh has got to be a mathematical nightmare ﹣ the man has nearly 1，500 valid credit cards to his name and holds the Guinness Record for the most credit cards． Mr． Plastic Fantastic ﹣ a title given to him by Guinness World Records ﹣ is also the proud owner of the world's longest wallet， which can hold about 800 cards． But he uses it only to carry a few cards， while the rest are safely kept in bank safedeposit boxes．
Cavanagh started collecting credit cards in the late 1960s． "One of my best friends and I made a silly bet： the guy who could collect the most credit cards by the end of the year would win dinner，" he said． " I got 143 cards by the end of the year， and my friend gathered 138．" After winning that bet， Cavanagh decided to simply keep going with his unusual collection． He got credit cards from gas stations， airlines， bars， and even ice cream stores．
If there's one card missing from Cavanagh's collection， it's that from the Newberry Company． They repulsed his application for a card in the early 1970s， even though he'd collected over 100 by then． They said he had too much credit． Therefore， so far he hasn't had a Newberry card in his collection．
Cavanagh hasn't stopped applying for new cards ﹣ he's held the Guinness Record since 1971 and has no intention of letting go of it． He copies whole pages from a U．S． directory of businesses and keeps sending applications． If he receives a rejection， he writes back to the company explaining his goal and ambition． But he doesn't count useless cards in his total collection．
Thanks to all the cards to his name， Cavanagh has access to about ＄1.7 million at any moment． Despite this privilege， he has managed to maintain an excellent credit score．
The 72﹣year﹣old retired financial planner and credit expert has only one piece of advice to share： "Never use a card to buy anything you can't pay off in a couple of months． If you don't have the discipline， you shouldn't have the cards．"
28. Cavanagh began to collect credit cards when he ．
A. owned a very long wallet
B. made a bet with his friend
C. wanted to create a Guinness Record
D. was treated to dinner by his friend．
29. What does the underlined word "repulsed" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？
A. Rejected．
B. Recalled．
C. Repeated．
D. Recognized．
30. What do the underlined words "the discipline" in the last paragraph probably refer to？
A. Having many cards to your own name．
B. Buying things by card and paying off in time．
C. Managing to own more privileges for your card．
D. Using a card to buy things as many times as possible．
31. What do we know about Cavanagh's cards？
A. Some of them are useless．
B. They are safely kept in his long wallet．
C. They have brought him fame and privilege．
D. Fewer new cards are added to his collections．
D
Imagine a town with crosswalks but no pedestrians, cars and trucks but no drivers. Welcome to Mcity, a fake “city” built by researchers who are testing out the driverless cars of the future.
The controlled test environment, which opened today (July 20, 2015) at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, covers 32 acres (the size of about 24 football fields) and contains all the trappings of a real suburb or small city. There is an entire network of roads lined with sidewalks, streetlights, stop signs and traffic signals. There’s even a “downtown” area complete with fake buildings and outdoor dining areas.
The idea behind Mcity is simple: test out new driverless car innovations in a human-free environment before these technologies are unleashed in the real world.
"Mcity is a safe, controlled, and realistic environment where we are going to figure out how the incredible potential of connected and automated vehicles can be realized quickly, efficiently and safely," Peter Sweatman, director of the Mobility Transformation Center at U-M, said in a statement.
The roads of Mcity are built to stand up to “rigorous, repeatable” testing, according to MTC officials. While Mcity drivers don't have to compete with real pedestrians, there will be one mechanical foot-traveler (a robot-like machine named Sebastian) that steps out into traffic to see whether the automated cars can hit the brakes in time. The fake city also features a traffic circle, a bridge, a tunnel, some unpaved roads, and even a four-lane highway with entrance and exit ramps, according to a report by Bloomberg Business.
In addition to evaluating fully automated, or driverless cars, the researchers also hope to test out so-called connected vehicles within Mcity’s limits. Connected cars can either communicate with one another (vehicle-to-vehicle control, or V2V) or with pieces of equipment, such as traffic lights, that are located near roadways (vehicle-to-infrastructure control, or V2I).
Even the smallest details of Mcity have been planned out in advance to copy the conditions that connected and automated vehicles could face in the real world. For example, there are street signs covered up with graffiti, and faded yellow and white lane markings line the streets.
Mcity is just one part of a much larger project that MTC and its partner organizations are establishing in an effort to get a whole fleet of connected and driverless cars on the road in Ann Arbor by 2021. In addition to the fake city, MTC is also continuing to launch connected and semi-autonomous(半自动) cars on real roadways. Eventually, the University of Michigan and the Michigan Department of Transportation said they hope to put 20,000 connected cars on the roads of southern Michigan.
32. According to the passage, Mcity ________.
A. is a real town used to evaluate the function of future cars
B. is a fake city with transportation system but no pedestrians
C. covers an area of 32 acres with as many as 24 football fields
D. owns a downtown area with a bridge and some unpaved roads
33. Why did researchers build Mcity
A. To test new driverless cars.
B. To make a real suburb or small city.
C. To control road environment.
D. To build an entire network of roads.
34. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. some connected and semi-autonomous cars have been put into use
B. the researchers plans to create a robot-like machine to direct the traffic
C. the widespread use of driverless cars will soon come into reality in America
D. MTC is attempting to make connected and driverless cars available on real roads
35. How does the passage mainly develop
A. By presenting descriptions of the design.
B. By describing a cause and its effects.
C. By providing the time order.
D. By comparing the opinions.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项
___36___You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here is how:
Plan your time carefully. When planning your work you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. ___37___ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
Make good use of your time in class. ___38___ Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. ___39___ If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test so don’t be over worried.
___40___ You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
A. There are other methods that might help you with your studying.
B. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.
