December 15, 2014
Dear Alfred,
I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.
Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150+ at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.
However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.
While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t . So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.
Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.
Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public , I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.
Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I’m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.
This is why you’re saving my life.
Yours,
Tanis

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
Coffee is one of the most popular drinks throughout the world today. In fact, according to some estimates, over 30% of all adults in the world drink coffee at least once a day on the average. Coffee contains a kind of drug called caffeine. Caffeine is a chemical that stimulates (刺激) the nerves of the body. Drinking coffee tends to make people a little bit more awake―at least for a short time―because of this stimulating effect on the nervous system. A cup of coffee has, on the average, about 3% caffeine in it.
One story of the discovery of the coffee plant relates to this effect of caffeine. According to the story, coffee was discovered in East Africa. The story says that coffee was first found by a goat farmer named Kaldi. This was about the year 850. Kaldi was leading his animals through the mountains and the goats were stopping repeatedly to eat the plants near the path. Suddenly, some of the goats started jumping up and down in a very strange way. Kaldi figured out that the goats were acting this way because of the plants they were eating. Kaldi himself tried eating some of the green beans (豆荚) that the goats had been eating. He, too, felt the stimulating effect of the beans. Kaldi wanted to prove what had happened, so he picked some of the beans and took them back to the village, where he told his story.
The green bean got the name "Kaffa" and later "coffee" because the beans were discovered in a place called Kaffa in Africa. Then for years, people used to eat a few of the green Kaffa beans when they were in the mountains and needed extra energy to do their work. It was later found that the coffee beans could be picked and then dried until they turned brown, and then they could be stored. If the beans were dried and stored, they could be used at any time.
1.What is the purpose of drinking coffee?
A. To become more awake. B. To become more healthy.
C. To become more happy. D. To become more clever.
2.How did the goats react after eating the plants?
A. They fell asleep. B. They could not find their way home.
C. They started jumping up and down. D. They wanted to eat more.
3.Why did the green bean get the name "Kaffa"?
A. Because Kaldi loved his home village very much.
B. Because Kaldi's goats loved the green bean very much.
C. Because the beans were discovered in a place by this name.
D. Because the beans could be picked and dried.
C

四、七选五
(2016打开模拟选编)下面文章中有5个段落需要添加首句(第1~5题)。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出适合各段落的首句。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A.Try different new things.
B.Avoid “black and white thinking”.
C.Associate with optimistic people.
D.Make a plan to stop thinking negatively.
E.Understand the benefits of staying positive.
F.Adopt the motto “everything happens for a reason”.
Develop a positive attitude towards life
When you are going through a challenging time,people will just instruct you to think positively.More often than not,thinking positively proves a strategy for interpreting everything that happens to you in a useful,constructive way.If you want to know how to think more positively,just follow these tips.
1.________Choosing to think more positively will not only help you take control of your life and make your everyday experiences more pleasant,but it will have countless benefits on your mental and physical health as well as your ability to deal with change.Being aware of these benefits can help you be even more motivated to think positively on a regular basis.One of the most important benefits of positive thinking is that you are more likely to have better coping skills during times of stress.
2.________Don't think everything you are faced with either is or it isn't.In fact,there is what we call the shades of gray in life.Therefore,if something doesn't turn out the way you want it to,make a list of all of the outcomes in between to see that things aren't as serious as they seem.For example,if you get a late start on a paper and think you shouldn't bother because you won't finish it in time,consider the other possibilities.You could finish half the paper and still get a better grade than if you don't turn it in.
3.________That means deciding to overcome the negativity that is going on around you—and there will always be plenty of it.Think of what you can do today that is good for you and others.Decide how you will react in ways that will make a difference to your life.Don't let other people ruin your plan.People will often make things seem more important or worrisome than they really are.Making a plan to be more positive will already be a move in the right direction.This will help you to stay positive because you will feel a greater sense of control over your life and your choices.
4.________Experiencing a wide variety of life will do wonders.Stepping out of your comfort zone can often take you by surprise and knock those negative thoughts or black and white thoughts right back into their cave.Something as simple as trying a new food in a restaurant can lead to the discovery of new tastes and different feelings,along with the release of negative impressions.Visiting a new town,city,or country and see how other people view the world can help put a positive spin on your life.
5.________Optimism is infectious.If you want to be infected by optimism,you should spend time with people who can provide something of value.Look for the positives in other people too—finding what is good in people.Learn to praise people around you.Connect with people who have many passions and want to share them with you.Avoid seeing anyone with a negative outlook,unless you really care about that person and want to change their thoughts.If you tend to think negatively,you'll be falling into a trap.

【参考答案】
一、语法填空
【语篇导读】 成都有许多百万富翁,亚洲最大的建筑和诱人的宾馆,但作者最喜欢的是“国宝”——大熊猫。
1.attraction [考查名词的用法。空格前有形容词和物主代词,因此要用其名词形式。]
2.was allowed [考查动词时态。根据语境及allow sb to do sth这一固定句式可知,此处要用一般过去时的被动语态形式。]
3.officially [考查副词的用法。修饰谓语动词应当用副词形式。]
4.to [考查固定短语。go back to为固定短语,意思是“回到,追溯到”。]
5.when [考查副词的用法。由句子结构可以判断这是一个定语从句,先行词是表示时间的in the mid-1980s,从句中缺少状语,因此填写关系副词when。]
6.permitted [考查定语从句关系副词的用法。因为句中已有谓语动词was,故此处要用非谓语动词形式。因permit与reporter为逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词。]
7.introducing [考查动名词的用法。由句子结构可知,introduce作谓语动词include的宾语。而British visitors是introduce这一动作的承受者。故用动名词形式。]
8.its [考查物主代词的用法。根据空格后的名词及前文中的a lively three-month-old twin可知要用形容词性物主代词。]
9.days [考查名词复数。few用来修饰可数名词复数,故答案为days。]
