Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
One skill that increasingly matters in finding and keeping a job is the ability to keep learning.When technology is changing in unpredictable ways， and jobs are hybridizing （混合）， humans need to be able to pick up new skills.Eric Schmidt， former executive chairman of Alphabet， a holding company in which Google is the biggest member， has talked of Google’s recruitment （招聘） focus on “learning animals” — people who are naturally driven to learn on their own.
An emphasis on learning has long been a hallmark of United Technologies Corporation （UTC）.Since 1996， UTC has been running a programme under which its employees can take part-time degrees and have part of tuition fees paid for them， no strings attached.Employers are often unwilling to train staff because they might leave for competitors， taking their expensively gained skills with them.But Gail Jackson， the firm’s vice-president， takes a different view.“It is better to train and have them leave than not to train and have them stay，” she says.
Such attitudes are becoming more common.When Satya Nadella took over as boss of Microsoft， he drew on the work of Carol Dweck， a psychology professor， to push the firm’s culture in a new direction.Ms Dweck divides students into two camps： those who think that abilities are innate （天生的） and fixed （reducing motivation to learn） and those who believe that abilities can be improved through learning.This “growth mindset” is what the firm is trying to encourage.It has improved its performance-review criteria to include an evaluation of how employees have learned from others and then applied that knowledge.
AT & T， a telecoms and media firm with around 300，000 employees， faces two big workforce problems： rapidly changing skill requirements in an era of big data and cloud computing， and constant labour turnover that leaves the company having to fill 50，000 jobs a year.Recruiting from outside is difficult and expensive.The firm’s answer is an ambitious plan to reskill its own people.The firm has developed short courses， and employees can work in their own time to learn new skills.
1.Why is Eric Schmidt mentioned in Paragraph 1？（ ）
A.To stress the importance of learning technology.
B.To prove skills requirements are rapidly changing.
C.To illustrate companies regard learning as a core skill.
D.To compare the hiring philosophies of Alphabet and Google.
2.What does the underlined part “Such attitudes” in Paragraph 3 refer to？（ ）
A.Companies should invest in employee training.
B.Companies should keep an eye on their competitors.
C.Companies should work hard to make their talents stay.
D.Companies should hire people holding an advanced degree.
3.What did Satya Nadella do when he became Microsoft’s CEO？（ ）
A.He divided the employees into two camps.
B.He set a new direction for business growth.
C.He included Carol Dweck into his management team.
D.He promoted a learning culture within the organization.
4.What is AT & T’s response to its workforce problems？（ ）
A.Increasing the salary of most employees.
B.Training existing staff to learn new skills.
C.Extending the working time of the employees.
D.Hiring new employees with reliable technical skills.
B
Agostino Ramelli， the 16th-century Italian military engineer， designed many devices for the changing Renaissance （文艺复兴时期） landscape.His most eye-catching machine was one meant to develop the mind： a revolving （旋转的） wooden wheel with angled shelves， which allowed users to read multiple books at one time.“This is a beautiful and well-designed machine， very useful and convenient for anyone who takes pleasure in study，” Ramelli wrote in Le diverse et artificiose machine， his illustrated masterpiece of mechanical solutions.
Ramelli never ended up building this device， but the book wheel has long attracted those who study the history of the book.In 2018， a group of undergraduate engineering students at Rochester Institute of Technology （RIT） set out to build two.They began by seriously studying the Italian engineer’s illustration and then obtained historically accurate materials.With the help of modern power tools and processes， they brought it to life.Today， one wheel is at the Melbert B.Cary， Jr.Graphic Arts Collection at RIT’s Wallace Library， and the other at the University of Rochester’s Rossell Hope Robbins Library.
Simpler book wheels did exist before Ramelli’s.Readers in the late medieval period could sit by a machine， which turned open books in a circle along a horizontal plane （水平面）， like a Lazy Susan.Steven Galbraith， who is in charge of the Cary Collection， says that the Italian engineer was trying to improve this design and meet an increasing need to cross-reference books， which were often larger and heavier.Through the 16th century， books were beginning to talk to each other a lot more — one might reference another — so a book wheel could have been convenient.
The Cary Collection’s wheel can be used for individual reading research， but it is also often used as a teaching tool. In Russia， the Museum of Languages of the World built its own version as well.
5.What can be learned about Ramelli？（ ）
A.He had an active and creative mind.
B.He built a wheel for people to read books.
C.He contributed a lot to Renaissance literature.
D.He finished Le diverse et artificiose machine at RIT.
6.What is stressed in the second paragraph？（ ）
A.Ramelli’s illustration.
B.Modern power tools and processes.
C.The book wheels made by some students.
D.The improvements made to Ramelli’s wheel.
7.What does Galbraith say about Ramelli’s wheel？（ ）
A.It was tailored for quick reference.
B.It was simpler than previous designs.
C.It was usually used on a horizontal plane.
D.It was popular in the early medieval period.
8.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text？（ ）
A.To discuss. B.To persuade.
C.To entertain. D.To report.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
With about a billion English language learners from all over the globe， English is the most popular second language worldwide.But achieving fluency in English doesn’t come without its fair share of difficulties.9.（ ）
Mixing up closely related adjectives.
English has many adjectives that are similar in both meaning and form， such as bored/boring and interested/interesting.10.（ ） Thus， it’s easy for English learners to accidentally use the wrong one.
Forgetting about gender-specific pronouns.
In many languages， object pronouns （e.g.him and her） and possessive pronouns （e.g.his and hers） are the same.11.（ ） Therefore， remembering that these pronouns in English take on genders can be demanding for some students.
Forming questions in the wrong word order.
In many languages， you can simply stick a question mark at the end of a sentence， and your statement becomes a question.12.（ ） Specifically， the statement “You are going to the store” becomes “Are you going to the store？” when it’s framed （表达） as a question.This is easy to forget， so learners often create ill-formed questions like “You are going to the store？”
Not knowing when to use the right article.
The English language contains 3 articles：“the”“an”and“a”.They come before nouns and confuse learners.As any English teacher knows， it’s extremely difficult to explain the precise rules regarding when to use “the” or “a” — and there are plenty of exceptions.13.（ ）
To sum up， there are a lot of places to go wrong when learning English！ However， don’t let this discourage you — as with any language， practice makes perfect.
A.These pairs vary by only a couple of letters.
B.A special feature of English is that all sentences need a subject.
C.In English， however， asking a question often requires a change in word order.
D.This is especially hard for learners whose native language doesn’t have articles.
E.Below are some of the most common mistakes made by English language learners.
F.For instance， in Spanish， “his book” and “her book” are both translated as “su libro”.
G.Here are some of the reasons why so many people are learning the English language.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了企业越来越重视员工的学习能力的现象。
1.C 目的意图题。根据第一段内容可知，就寻找、保住工作而言，有一项技能变得越来越重要，即学习能力。Eric Schmidt曾谈到谷歌的招聘重点是寻找“学习型动物”，即能够主动学习的人。作者通过介绍谷歌的招聘理念，举例说明了企业认为学习能力是一项重要的技能。
2.A 词义猜测题。根据第二段最后三句可知，很多雇主通常都不愿意培训员工，因为这些员工在接受了昂贵的培训且获得技能后，可能会跳槽到竞争对手处。但Gail Jackson持有不同的观点，她曾说：“与其不培训员工并把他们留在公司，还不如让员工接受培训后再离开。”由此可推知，“这种态度”是指企业应该在员工培训方面作出投资。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，Satya Nadella在接任微软总裁时，为公司文化制定了一个新方向。他借鉴了一位心理学教授的观点，改进了其绩效评估标准，包括评估员工是如何向他人学习并应用所学知识的。由此可推知，Satya Nadella上任后，在企业内推广了一种学习型文化。
4.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，AT & T面临着两大劳动力问题，该公司的应对措施是一项宏伟的计划：重新培训自己的员工。该公司开发了一些短期课程，员工能利用自己的时间来学习新技能。由此可知，AT & T的应对方法是培训现有员工学习新技能。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。十六世纪意大利工程师Agostino Ramelli设计的一个复杂而奇妙的装置——书轮，现如今由来自罗彻斯特理工大学的学生们将其变为了现实。
5.A 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可知，Ramelli设计了很多精巧的装置。由此可推知，他头脑活跃，富有创造力。
6.C 段落大意题。第二段主要讲述了一群来自罗彻斯特理工大学的学生将Ramelli描述的书轮变为现实。
7.A 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句可知，Galbraith认为Ramelli是为了当时要相互参照书籍的需求而量身打造的书轮。本段中的Lazy Susan意为“餐桌转盘”。
8.D 写作目的题。本文主要讲述了罗彻斯特理工大学的学生们将意大利工程师Ramelli设计的书轮变为现实这一故事。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英语学习者最常犯的几个错误。
9.E 上文说明了全球大约有十亿英语学习者，但是要流利地使用英语并非易事。根据下文四个小标题可知，E项（下面是英语学习者最常犯的一些错误）符合语境。
10.A 空前一句指出：在英语中，很多形容词在意思和形式上都很相似，比如bored/boring和interested/interesting。下文指出结果，英语学习者一不小心就会用错。A项（这几对词语仅相差几个字母）符合语境，与下文构成因果关系。A项中的These pairs指代设空处前一句中列举的两对形容词。
11.F 空前一句指出：在许多语言中，宾格代词（例如him和her）和物主代词（例如his和hers）是相同的。F项以西班牙语进行举例说明，符合语境。F项中的both translated as “su libro”与设空处前一句中的the same相呼应。
12.C 上文指出：在许多语言中，你只需要在句子末尾加一个问号，就能把陈述句变成疑问句。C项（但在英语中，要想构成疑问句，通常需要改变词序）符合语境，与上文构成转折关系。C项中的word order与小标题中的word order构成原词复现。
13.D 上文说明了英语中有三个冠词：“the”“an”和“a”，英语老师都清楚的一点是，很难解释清楚冠词使用的准确规则，况且还有很多特殊用法。D项（对于母语中没有冠词的学习者来说，这点尤其困难）符合语境。D项中的articles与小标题中的article和上文中的articles构成原词复现。

Learning for life
[1]The more I learn， the better I know how much there is still left to learn.[2]As I journey through my life， I have become aware that acquiring knowledge is not only a means by which you can better understand the world， but also a way of appreciating how much， as an individual， you do not know. The ability to admit this should not be perceived as① a weakness， but as a strength.[3]I once had an art teacher， pointing out that it is not only what you can see that is important， but also what you cannot see.[4]When I drew a still life②， it was impressed upon me that the blank③ spaces between the objects were just as vital to the success of the composition④as the actual objects themselves.Also， as the great educator⑤ Confucius⑥stated， “When you know a thing， to recognize that you know it； and when you do not know a thing， to recognize that you do not know it—that is wisdom.”
[1]本句为“the＋比较级 ...，the＋比较级 ...”结构， 表示“越……，就越……”。
[2]As引导时间状语从句，意为“当……的时候；随着”； not only ...but also ...连接并列表语；“介词by＋关系代词which”引导定语从句，修饰先行词a means；that和how much分别引导一个宾语从句。
[3]动词-ing形式pointing out that ...what you cannot see作定语，修饰teacher； that引导的宾语从句使用了强调句，强调主语what you can see；not only ...but also ...连接两个并列的what引导的主语从句。
[4]it作形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的主语从句。“as ...as ...”结构，意为“和……一样”。
It is vital to remain lifelong learners in a rapidly changing world.As you progress through life， you may study and work in new environments.Consequently， you will be exposed to⑦ many new ideas， beliefs， practices and learning experiences.Furthermore⑧， the production of knowledge is bound to⑨ grow rapidly.[5]New knowledge is constantly being generated⑩ and what you already know is being revised all the time ， to the extent that it can be difficult to keep pace with the latest developments.[6]Indeed， you may one day do jobs that do not yet exist， use technologies that are not yet developed and resolve problems that are not yet problems！[7]This is not to suggest that there is no need for you to study in school but to acknowledge that refreshing your knowledge through lifelong learning is both essential and beneficial.
[5]what引导主语从句；to the extent that意为“达到这种程度以至于……”。
[6]句中三个并列结构do jobs、use technologies、resolve problems后面都各自跟了一个that引导的定语从句。
[7]there is no need to do sth意为“没必要做某事”；that引导一个宾语从句；refreshing your knowledge through lifelong learning为动词-ing短语作主语。
So， how can you proceed ？Firstly， lifelong learning is an attitude.Lifelong learners are those who have an open mind .Be objective and make yourself open to new knowledge and ideas.[8]Do not criticize them or reject them simply because they differ from what you know or believe.At the same time， you need to develop critical thinking skills so that you do not blindly accept new ideas.Instead， you should inquire further to assess the truth of what you are being told.[9]Secondly， take advantage of opportunities for lifelong learning—for example， you could register online and subscribe to e-learning courses， which have become increasingly popular in recent years.[10]You could also visit the local library， where resources are rich and diverse.[11]Finally， understand that it is not sufficient to simply know something or to understand what you know， because for knowledge to have concrete value， it must be applied.Importantly， after its application， there must then follow a review process of analysis， evaluation and improvement so that your comprehension of the world becomes a continuous process.
[8]what引导宾语从句，作介词from的宾语。
[9]which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词e-learning courses。
[10]where引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the local library。
[11]that引导的宾语从句中，it作形式主语，真正的主语是or连接的两个并列的动词不定式短语。what you know为what 引导的宾语从句，作 understand 的宾语。
In summary， in a world of constant change， one should never cease to learn.Lifelong learning will help you develop your skills and further your career， and will boost your sense of self-worth and keep your mind active.Therefore， know what you know and use it； know what you do not know and embrace it； know that you will never know all there is to know and wonder at it.

【参考译文】
终身学习
我学得越多，就越明白要学的东西还很多。当我走在人生的旅途中时，我开始领悟到，求知不光是让你能更好地了解世界的一种手段，也是洞悉自己作为个体还有多少未知的一种方式。能承认自己尚且无知不应被认为是一种缺点，而应是一种优势。我曾经有过一位美术老师，他（她）向我指出，重要的不仅仅是你能看到的东西，你看不到的东西也很重要。当我在画静物时，我意识到，成功的构图中，物体之间的留白和实际的物体本身一样关键。而且，正如伟大教育家孔子所言：“知之为知之，不知为不知，是知也。”
在一个瞬息万变的世界里，保持终身学习是极为重要的。当你在人生旅途中前行时，你可能会置身新环境中学习和工作。因此，你会接触到许多新观点、新信仰、新实践和新的学习经历。此外，知识的产生必然是迅速增长的。新的知识不断涌现着，你已有的认知一直在被修正，以至于难以跟上最新的发展。的确，可能有一天你会从事目前还不存在的职业，使用现在还未开发的技术，解决当下还不是问题的问题！这并不是说学校教育对你来说没有必要，而是承认通过终身学习来更新你的知识是必不可少且十分有益的。
那么，该如何做到呢？首先，终身学习是一种态度。终身学习者是那些有着开放心态的人。客观看待事物，让自己接纳新知识和新理念。不要仅仅因为它们与自己的认知或信念不同，就加以批评或拒斥。同时，你需要培养批判性思考能力，以免对新观点一味盲从。相反，当你听到新的说法时，应当进一步探究真相。其次，利用终身学习的机会——例如，你可以在线注册，订阅在线学习课程，近年来这类课程越来越受欢迎。你也可以去本地的图书馆，那里有丰富多样的资源。最后，要明白仅仅是知道某事或理解你所知道的知识是不够的，因为要让知识发挥实际价值，必须对其加以应用。重要的是，将知识付诸实践后，必须随之跟进一个分析、评估和改进的回顾环节，这样你对世界的理解就是一个连续的过程了。
总之，在一个日新月异的世界里，一个人绝不能停止学习。终身学习会帮助你提升个人能力，推动职业发展，也会帮助你增强自我价值感并保持思维活跃。因此，要知道自己知道什么并运用所知；要知道自己不知道什么并接纳未知；要知道人生有涯而知无涯，对未知抱有一颗探究之心。

Learning for life
[1]The more I learn， the better I know how much there is still left to
learn.[2]As I journey through my life， I have become aware that
acquiring knowledge is not only a means by which you can better
understand the world， but also a way of appreciating how much， as an
individual， you do not know.
The ability to admit this should not be perceived as① a weakness， but as a
strength.[3]I once had an art teacher， pointing out that it is not only
what you can see that is important， but also what you cannot
see.[4]When I drew a still life②， it was impressed upon me that the
blank③ spaces between the objects were just as vital to the success of the
composition④as the actual objects themselves.Also， as the great
educator⑤ Confucius⑥stated， “When you know a thing， to recognize
that you know it； and when you do not know a thing， to recognize that
you do not know it—that is wisdom.”
[1]本句为“the＋比较级 ...，the＋比较级 ...”结构， 表

[2]As引导时间状语从句，意为“当……的时候；随着”；
not only ...but also ...连接并列表语；“介词by＋关系代词

[3]动词-ing形式pointing out that ...what you cannot see作

what引导的主语从句。
[4]it作形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的主语从句。
“as ...as ...”结构，意为“和……一样”。

It is vital to remain lifelong learners in a rapidly changing world.As
you progress through life， you may study and work in new
environments.Consequently， you will be exposed to⑦ many new ideas，
beliefs， practices and learning experiences.Furthermore⑧， the
production of knowledge is bound to⑨ grow rapidly.[5]New knowledge
is constantly being generated⑩ and what you already know is being revised
all the time ， to the extent that it can be difficult to keep pace with
the latest developments.[
6]Indeed， you may one day do jobs that do not yet exist， use
technologies that are not yet developed and resolve problems that are not

study in school but to acknowledge that refreshing your knowledge
through lifelong learning is both essential and beneficial.

lifelong learning 终身学习
So， how can you proceed ？Firstly， lifelong learning is an
attitude.Lifelong learners are those who have an open mind .Be
objective and make yourself open to new knowledge and ideas.[8]Do
not criticize them or reject them simply because they differ from what
you know or believe.At the same time， you need to develop critical
thinking skills so that you do not blindly accept new ideas.Instead， you
should inquire further to assess the truth of what you are being told.[
9]Secondly， take advantage of opportunities for lifelong learning—for
example， you could register online and subscribe to e-learning
courses， which have become increasingly popular in recent
years.[10]You could also visit the local library， where resources are rich
and diverse.[11]Finally， understand that it is not sufficient to simply
know something or to understand what you know， because for knowledge
to have concrete value， it must be applied.Importantly， after its
application， there must then follow a review process of analysis，
evaluation and improvement so that your comprehension of the world
becomes a continuous process.

In summary， in a world of constant change， one should never
cease to learn.Lifelong learning will help you develop your skills and
further your career， and will boost your sense of self-worth and keep
your mind active.Therefore， know what you know and use it； know
what you do not know and embrace it； know that you will never know all
there is to know and wonder at it.
cease vi.& vt.（使）停止，终止，结束
self-worth n.自我价值感
我学得越多，就越明白要学的东西还很多。当我走在人生的旅途
中时，我开始领悟到，求知不光是让你能更好地了解世界的一种手
段，也是洞悉自己作为个体还有多少未知的一种方式。能承认自己尚
且无知不应被认为是一种缺点，而应是一种优势。我曾经有过一位美
术老师，他（她）向我指出，重要的不仅仅是你能看到的东西，你看
不到的东西也很重要。当我在画静物时，我意识到，成功的构图中，
物体之间的留白和实际的物体本身一样关键。而且，正如伟大教育家
孔子所言：“知之为知之，不知为不知，是知也。”
【参考译文】
终身学习
在一个瞬息万变的世界里，保持终身学习是极为重要的。当你在
人生旅途中前行时，你可能会置身新环境中学习和工作。因此，你会
接触到许多新观点、新信仰、新实践和新的学习经历。此外，知识的
产生必然是迅速增长的。新的知识不断涌现着，你已有的认知一直在
被修正，以至于难以跟上最新的发展。的确，可能有一天你会从事目
前还不存在的职业，使用现在还未开发的技术，解决当下还不是问题
的问题！这并不是说学校教育对你来说没有必要，而是承认通过终身
学习来更新你的知识是必不可少且十分有益的。
那么，该如何做到呢？首先，终身学习是一种态度。终身学习者
是那些有着开放心态的人。客观看待事物，让自己接纳新知识和新理
念。不要仅仅因为它们与自己的认知或信念不同，就加以批评或拒
斥。同时，你需要培养批判性思考能力，以免对新观点一味盲从。相
反，当你听到新的说法时，应当进一步探究真相。其次，利用终身学
习的机会——例如，你可以在线注册，订阅在线学习课程，近年来这
类课程越来越受欢迎。你也可以去本地的图书馆，那里有丰富多样的
资源。最后，要明白仅仅是知道某事或理解你所知道的知识是不够
的，因为要让知识发挥实际价值，必须对其加以应用。
重要的是，将知识付诸实践后，必须随之跟进一个分析、评估和改进
的回顾环节，这样你对世界的理解就是一个连续的过程了。
总之，在一个日新月异的世界里，一个人绝不能停止学习。终身
学习会帮助你提升个人能力，推动职业发展，也会帮助你增强自我价
值感并保持思维活跃。因此，要知道自己知道什么并运用所知；要知
道自己不知道什么并接纳未知；要知道人生有涯而知无涯，对未知抱
有一颗探究之心。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
One skill that increasingly matters in finding and keeping a job is the
ability to keep learning.When technology is changing in unpredictable
ways， and jobs are hybridizing （混合）， humans need to be able to
pick up new skills.Eric Schmidt， former executive chairman of
Alphabet， a holding company in which Google is the biggest member，
has talked of Google’s recruitment （招聘） focus on “learning
animals” — people who are naturally driven to learn on their own.
An emphasis on learning has long been a hallmark of United
Technologies Corporation （UTC）.Since 1996， UTC has been running
a programme under which its employees can take part-time degrees and
have part of tuition fees paid for them， no strings attached.Employers are
often unwilling to train staff because they might leave for competitors，
taking their expensively gained skills with them.But Gail Jackson， the
firm’s vice-president， takes a different view.“It is better to train and
have them leave than not to train and have them stay，” she says.
Such attitudes are becoming more common.When Satya Nadella took
over as boss of Microsoft， he drew on the work of Carol Dweck， a
psychology professor， to push the firm’s culture in a new direction.Ms
Dweck divides students into two camps： those who think that abilities are
innate （天生的） and fixed （reducing motivation to learn） and those
who believe that abilities can be improved through learning.This “growth
mindset” is what the firm is trying to encourage.It has improved its
performance-review criteria to include an evaluation of how employees
have learned from others and then applied that knowledge.
AT & T， a telecoms and media firm with around 300，000
employees， faces two big workforce problems： rapidly changing skill
requirements in an era of big data and cloud computing， and constant
labour turnover that leaves the company having to fill 50，000 jobs a
year.Recruiting from outside is difficult and expensive.The firm’s
answer is an ambitious plan to reskill its own people.The firm has
developed short courses， and employees can work in their own time to
learn new skills.

学习能力的现象。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了企业越来越重视员工的
学习能力的现象。
1. Why is Eric Schmidt mentioned in Paragraph 1？（ ）
A. To stress the importance of learning technology.
B. To prove skills requirements are rapidly changing.
C. To illustrate companies regard learning as a core skill.
D. To compare the hiring philosophies of Alphabet and Google.
解析： 目的意图题。根据第一段内容可知，就寻找、保住工作
而言，有一项技能变得越来越重要，即学习能力。Eric Schmidt曾
谈到谷歌的招聘重点是寻找“学习型动物”，即能够主动学习的
人。作者通过介绍谷歌的招聘理念，举例说明了企业认为学习能力
是一项重要的技能。
2. What does the underlined part “Such attitudes” in Paragraph 3 refer
to？（ ）
A. Companies should invest in employee training.
B. Companies should keep an eye on their competitors.
C. Companies should work hard to make their talents stay.
D. Companies should hire people holding an advanced degree.
解析： 词义猜测题。根据第二段最后三句可知，很多雇主通常
都不愿意培训员工，因为这些员工在接受了昂贵的培训且获得技能
后，可能会跳槽到竞争对手处。但Gail Jackson持有不同的观点，
她曾说：“与其不培训员工并把他们留在公司，还不如让员工接受
培训后再离开。”由此可推知，“这种态度”是指企业应该在员工
培训方面作出投资。
3. What did Satya Nadella do when he became Microsoft’s CEO？（ ）
A. He divided the employees into two camps.
B. He set a new direction for business growth.
C. He included Carol Dweck into his management team.
D. He promoted a learning culture within the organization.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，Satya Nadella在接
任微软总裁时，为公司文化制定了一个新方向。他借鉴了一位心理
学教授的观点，改进了其绩效评估标准，包括评估员工是如何向他
人学习并应用所学知识的。由此可推知，Satya Nadella上任后，在
企业内推广了一种学习型文化。
4. What is AT & T’s response to its workforce problems？（ ）
A. Increasing the salary of most employees.
B. Training existing staff to learn new skills.
C. Extending the working time of the employees.
D. Hiring new employees with reliable technical skills.
解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，AT & T面临着两
大劳动力问题，该公司的应对措施是一项宏伟的计划：重新培训自
己的员工。该公司开发了一些短期课程，员工能利用自己的时间来
学习新技能。由此可知，AT & T的应对方法是培训现有员工学习
新技能。
B
Agostino Ramelli， the 16th-century Italian military engineer，
designed many devices for the changing Renaissance （文艺复兴时期）
landscape.His most eye-catching machine was one meant to develop the
mind： a revolving （旋转的） wooden wheel with angled shelves，
which allowed users to read multiple books at one time.“This is a
beautiful and well-designed machine， very useful and convenient for
anyone who takes pleasure in study，” Ramelli wrote in Le diverse et
artificiose machine， his illustrated masterpiece of mechanical solutions.
Ramelli never ended up building this device， but the book wheel has
long attracted those who study the history of the book.In 2018， a group
of undergraduate engineering students at Rochester Institute of Technology
（RIT） set out to build two.They began by seriously studying the Italian
engineer’s illustration and then obtained historically accurate
materials.With the help of modern power tools and processes， they
brought it to life.Today， one wheel is at the Melbert B. Cary，
Jr.Graphic Arts Collection at RIT’s Wallace Library， and the other at
the University of Rochester’s Rossell Hope Robbins Library.
Simpler book wheels did exist before Ramelli’s.Readers in the late
medieval period could sit by a machine， which turned open books in a
circle along a horizontal plane （水平面）， like a Lazy Susan.Steven
Galbraith， who is in charge of the Cary Collection， says that the Italian
engineer was trying to improve this design and meet an increasing need to
cross-reference books， which were often larger and heavier.Through the
16th century， books were beginning to talk to each other a lot more —
one might reference another — so a book wheel could have been
convenient.
The Cary Collection’s wheel can be used for individual reading
research， but it is also often used as a teaching tool. In Russia， the
Museum of Languages of the World built its own version as well.

段中的Lazy Susan意为“餐桌转盘”。
8. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text？（ ）
A. To discuss. B. To persuade.
C. To entertain. D. To report.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
With about a billion English language learners from all over the
globe， English is the most popular second language worldwide.But
achieving fluency in English doesn’t come without its fair share of
difficulties.9.（ ）
Mixing up closely related adjectives.
English has many adjectives that are similar in both meaning and
form， such as bored/boring and interested/interesting.10.（ ）
Thus， it’s easy for English learners to accidentally use the wrong one.
Forgetting about gender-specific pronouns.
In many languages， object pronouns （e.g.him and her） and
possessive pronouns （e.g.his and hers） are the same.11.（ ）
Therefore， remembering that these pronouns in English take on genders
can be demanding for some students.
Forming questions in the wrong word order.
In many languages， you can simply stick a question mark at the end
of a sentence， and your statement becomes a question.12.（ ）
Specifically， the statement “You are going to the store” becomes
“Are you going to the store？” when it’s framed （表达） as a
question.This is easy to forget， so learners often create ill-formed
questions like “You are going to the store？”
Not knowing when to use the right article.
The English language contains 3 articles：
“the”“an”and“a”.They come before nouns and confuse
learners.As any English teacher knows， it’s extremely difficult to
explain the precise rules regarding when to use “the” or “a” — and
there are plenty of exceptions.13.（ ）
To sum up， there are a lot of places to go wrong when learning
English！ However， don’t let this discourage you — as with any
language， practice makes perfect.
A. These pairs vary by only a couple of letters.
B. A special feature of English is that all sentences need a subject.
C. In English， however， asking a question often requires a change in
word order.
D. This is especially hard for learners whose native language doesn’t
have articles.
E. Below are some of the most common mistakes made by English
language learners.
F. For instance， in Spanish， “his book” and “her book” are both
translated as “su libro”.
G. Here are some of the reasons why so many people are learning the
English language.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英语学习者最常犯的几
个错误。
9. E 上文说明了全球大约有十亿英语学习者，但是要流利地使用英
语并非易事。根据下文四个小标题可知，E项（下面是英语学习者最
常犯的一些错误）符合语境。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英语学习者最常犯的几
个错误。
10. A 空前一句指出：在英语中，很多形容词在意思和形式上都很
相似，比如bored/boring和interested/interesting。下文指出结果，英语
学习者一不小心就会用错。A项（这几对词语仅相差几个字母）符合
语境，与下文构成因果关系。A项中的These pairs指代设空处前一句
中列举的两对形容词。
11. F 空前一句指出：在许多语言中，宾格代词（例如him和her）和
物主代词（例如his和hers）是相同的。F项以西班牙语进行举例说
明，符合语境。F项中的both translated as “su libro”与设空处前一句
中的the same相呼应。
12. C 上文指出：在许多语言中，你只需要在句子末尾加一个问
号，就能把陈述句变成疑问句。C项（但在英语中，要想构成疑问
句，通常需要改变词序）符合语境，与上文构成转折关系。C项中的
word order与小标题中的word order构成原词复现。
13. D 上文说明了英语中有三个冠词：“the”“an”和“a”，英语
老师都清楚的一点是，很难解释清楚冠词使用的准确规则，况且还有
很多特殊用法。D项（对于母语中没有冠词的学习者来说，这点尤其
困难）符合语境。D项中的articles与小标题中的article和上文中的
articles构成原词复现。
谢谢观看！
