Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
Always believe in yourself no matter what happens to you and love the person that you are. These are laws of life that are useful to everyone, I think that before people can live happy lives, they must believe in and accept themselves.The hardest thing for you to do is to look in the mirror and like what you see, and then be thankful. And believe you can finish anything you try to do. To live a comfortable life, you must start with believing in yourself.I have struggled with believing in myself so many times in my life. Struggling with little tasks such as completing homework or memorising a piece on the piano, I would get so upset. But you never realise how much easier your life will become until you say,“I can do this!” Four or five years ago, I began taking piano lessons. One day, recital time was coming near, but I had a piece that I couldn't completely ing home with a feeling of sadness, I just considered I could not achieve this task. I sat at my piano and told myself that I would never get it finished. But on second thought, I could memorise it. So, I tried my best to play and play. Finally, I did end up finishing the piece, and the recital was able to go smoothly. The important point is that looking back on this time in my life, I can see how important it is to believe that I can complete anything I want to do if I try my best.Now, when I become upset with a piano piece, I never give up and think that I cannot do it. Always beginning with confidence, I sit down and tell myself that I can achieve my goal if I put my mind to it. I realise that I should have this mind in everything I do.So, dear friend, never give up, and believe that you can complete anything if you set your mind and heart on it.

B
Visit a middle or large size of company these days, and you' re likely to find the staff(全体职工) members sharing a large, open space. Instead of having personal offices with doors and walls, most workers sit in cubicles that are half open. Whenever workers talk on the phone, other members of staff nearby can't simply shut their doors. In fact, sometimes they can't help but overhear everything that's said. At times, the best way to focus in this type of office is to reach for one's headphones and listen to music.The open office idea is not new. It was created by a team of consultants(顾问) from Hamburg, Germany, in the 1950s. Called the office landscape(景观) plan, the idea was created to improve communication and the exchange of ideas. The design also encouraged managers and their teams to work near each other, making it easier for managers to guide projects. Now, the open office idea is often used as an excuse for companies to save money on building costs, paying no attention to the effect on working performance.Many start- ups have a great interest in the open office idea. Take Chartbeat for example, the company's 50- plus staff members get to choose their desk and chair styles, and everyone shares an open space with the CEO sitting in the middle. The office space has both single workstations and informal meeting areas where workers can relax themselves on sofas. While this design may be perfect for workers in start- ups, it may not be convenient for workers who have a great need of personal space. In 2011, Matthew Davis, an organisational psychologist(心理学家), checked over a hundred studies about office environments. He found that, to staff in open offices, it was harder to stay focused and more likely to get higher stress than those working in traditional offices. What's worse, a study in Denmark found that workers in open offices took more sick days than those working in traditional offices.Even though open office plans present hidden problems on worker health and personal needs, businesses probably won't return to traditional offices. Modern office workers tend(倾向) to need both time to focus and time to work together with others. So designing offices that account for both needs may be the best way forward.
6. What is mainly discussed about the open office in Paragraph 1
A. The benefit. B. The problem.
C. The history. D. The management.
7. What was the purpose of the office landscape plan at the beginning
A. To save space.
B. To reduce cost.
C. To improve working conditions.
D. To encourage communication.
8. If you work in Chartbeat, which of the following CAN'T you do
A. Have a casual(随意的) meeting at your convenience.
B. Share an open space with your co- workers.
C. Shut your door when someone talks on the phone.
D. Exchange your ideas with co- workers at any time.
9. What does the underlined phrase “account for” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Include. B. Record.
C. Forget. D. Translate.
10. What can we learn from the passage
A. Working in open offices can reduce higher stress.
B. The writer suggests working in traditional offices.
C. Staff members like wearing headphones to listen to music in the open offices.
D. The open offices are good for managers to guide projects and work with the staff.
Ⅳ.阅读与回答问题
Brian Kane was a rubbish collector in Denver, Colorado. Eight hours a day, five days a week, fifty weeks a year, he rode on the back of a garbage truck. At each stop, he would run to the back of buildings, and then pull heavy rubbish cans to the truck. Brian never complained.Brian saw these hardships as opportunities to become strong and fit. His job was a training ground for his lifelong dream: to climb Mount Qomolangma. On his thirtieth birthday, Brian took a leave from his job and flew to Nepal to begin the long, difficult journey up Mount Qomolangma.Brian first climbed to a basecamp(大本营). He planned to bring three oxygen containers(氧气罐) with him to the top. At 29,028 feet, it would be hard to survive(存活) without extra oxygen. Over the next two months, Brian climbed to 26,000 feet, to Camp Four— the last place to rest below the top of the mountain. But when Brian saw this camp, he fell to his knees.“ Rubbish!” he cried. Nearly a thousand empty oxygen containers littered the camp area. Humans had turned this beautiful, far- away place into a big rubbish pile(堆). Brian was very sad. But with a strong determination(决心) he continued to follow his dream. Two days later he stood proudly on the top of Mount Qomolangma. He had reached the “ roof of the world”!Two days after this great achievement, Brian put a dozen empty oxygen containers in his pack and walked down the mountain. He smiled to himself as he realised that the work of a rubbish collector is great and never done.

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者作为一名社会工作者，是如何慢慢接近因母亲离开而痛苦的达娜，使她卸下心里的防卫重新开始社交的。
1. A 根据“ how are you feeling today”和“ noticing her dirty uniform”可知,作者询问达娜感觉如何,还看到她的校服很脏，可推断她状态不好，有深深的黑眼圈， dark circles 表示“黑眼圈”。故选 A。
2. B 根据“ noticing her dirty uniform”可知,达娜的校服很脏，可推断她生活过得不好，由此可知她点头说自己吃了东西和她说“OK”一样都是谎话。故选 B。
3. C 根据“A bedroom of her own A family with love ”可知，达娜缺的东西太多，太难满足了，作者能力有限，嘲讽自己可能给不了她什么。故选C。
4. B 根据“ Repeated absence from school recently”可知,最近达娜经常缺课，屡教不改让老师失去了教导她的耐心。故选 B。
5. D 根据“ she has to work out how to wash, cook and decide between feeding herself or her younger sister”可知，达娜不仅必须处理洗漱、做饭这些生活基本问题，还得决定东西是给自己吃还是给妹妹吃这种温饱问题，因此知道所有的平方数和语法规则也没有什么用处。故选 D。
6. C 根据“ Can I get you anything ”和“ No, thanks.”可知，作者之前问达娜想要什么时被拒绝了，本句表示达娜接受了作者给她的饼干，表明这招奏效了。故选 C。

9. B 根据“ As a social worker”可知,作者是一个社会工作者，因此认为帮助达娜推倒她心里的高墙是作者自己的工作。故选 B。
10. D 根据“a biscuit to move away one of her bricks”可知，此处指要“花费”不止一块饼干才能搬走她心里的一块砖头。故选 D。
11. C 根据“ to have built such a high wall around herself”可知，达娜在心里筑起高墙，作者希望这饼干能让她卸下一点防卫，多和自己沟通。故选 C。
12. C 根据“‘OK,’ she shrugs.”可知,作者再次询问她感觉怎么样，达娜依旧作相同的回答，于是作者想转换话题。故选 C。
13. A 根据“ when her eyes rest on my arm”以及“ The sleeve of my blouse has rolled up”可知,作者的袖子卷了起来，所以达娜看到袖子下的手臂有伤疤。故选 A。
14. B 根据“ It's from a fire.”可知,作者手臂上的疤痕是火造成的，会很疼。故选 B。
15. C looks after 照顾; makes up 编造; picks up 拿起,捡起; takes down 取下。根据“ another biscuit”可知,这里指达娜拿起了另一块饼干。故选 C。

see, and then be thankful.”可知,对你来说,最难做的事就是照镜子，喜欢你所看到的，然后心存感恩，即接受你自己。故选 B。
2. B 词义猜测题。根据画线单词前的“I began taking piano lessons”以及画线单词后的“ but I had a piece that I couldn't completely memorise"可推测, recital 意为“演奏会”，故选 B。
3. C 事件排序题。通读全文可知，在第一段中，作者告诉我们，无论发生什么事你都应该相信自己，即在任何状况下都应该相信自己；在第三段中，作者列举了自己当时因不能完成小任务而感到沮丧；在第四段中，作者提及了自己在四五年前开始上钢琴课；在第五段中，作者谈到自己对弹不好钢琴曲感到沮丧时，不再放弃；在第六段中，作者认为只有用心才能够实现目标。由此可知正确的顺序是e-d-c-b-a。故选 C。
