in the top 10 among the most diverse (各色各样的) companies in America.With this being the case, a lot of times we run into situations where there is a language impedimentLast week while I was at work, one of my coworkers twisted her wrist while lifting something that might have been too heavy for her.This particular coworker of mine speaks little English and my Spanish needs “much” work.But we have never had a problem with communication.When I ran into her shortly after her injury, I took a look and I knew that a simple first aid routine was in order.With me being an athlete, I knew that a simple procedure called “RICE” (rest, ice, compression, and elevation) was what she needed until she was able to get to the doctor.With little understanding of what I was doing, she trusted that I meant to help.Today she came up to me while I was getting my breakfast, and without a word she hugged me and patted me on my back.When I asked why the wonderful affection，she simply said “thank you for taking care of my arm when I got hurt”She went on to tell me that her doctor told her putting ice on her injury was a good thing but she never would have known to do it.As she was telling me this, I saw how my random act of kindness had had an impact on her.With me just taking an extra minute out of my day to help her, I made a friend.This time I opened my arms and hugged her and I was thankful to have such a moment because you see, this lady has served me breakfast every day for the last four years and I had never exchanged more than greetings and breakfast orders with her.【语篇解读】作者通过自己的经历告诉我们一次不经意的善举可带来巨大的影响。9Why did the authors coworker get hurt in the company?ABecause she didnt know a knowledge of first aid.BBecause she was too careless when she was working.CBecause she was weak to lift something too heavy.DBecause she had trouble in communicating with others.解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句中的“one of my coworkers twisted her wrist while lifting something that might have been too heavy for her”可知，作者的同事手腕受伤的原因是搬了过重的东西。答案：C10The underlined word “impediment” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”Abarrier BcommunicationCrelation Dagreement解析：词义猜测题。第二段第一句讲到作者的公司在美国各种各样的公司中位列前十，可猜测其员工在语言交流方面会有问题，结合第三段的最后两句可推知，作者和同事之间许多时候会遇到语言障碍。答案：A11Why did the authors coworker hug her and pat her on her back?ABecause she was painful.BBecause she was thankful.CBecause she was hungry.DBecause she was excited.解析：推理判断题。根据文章第五段第二句“When I asked why the wonderful affection，she simply said thank you for taking care of my arm when I got hurt”可知，作者帮助了同事，因此她这么做是感谢作者。答案：B12Whats the best title of the passage?AA small act of kindness makes a wonderful effectBHelping others makes people happyCThe bridge we were meant to cross easilyDEven a small kindness is never forgotten解析：主旨大意题。文章通过作者的亲身经历，向我们展示了一次不经意的善举所带来的重大影响，因此A项正确。答案：ADThe latest Chinese “god song” (an Internet term to describe pop songs that spread virally through the Internet) is still stirring up fierce debates between those who view it as a milestone for Chinese pop music going global and those who regard it as a bad image of China.Last week, Little Apple, written and performed by Chopsticks Brothers, won the AMA International Song Award and the_duo performed the song at the 2014 American Music Awards in Los Angeles.Another Chinese pop singer, Zhang Jie, won the International Artist Award.But while fans of these singers are thinking highly of the awards and the performance by Chopsticks Brothers at the AMA celebration, there are others who are less excited.They have questioned the value of the awards and what effects it will have on Chinese cultures “going abroad”， claiming it may leave foreign audiences with a poor impression of Chinese pop music，and even Chinese culture.The Little Apple phenomenon, both home and abroad，can be more easily understood and judged if we look at it from a business perspective rather than a cultural perspective.The professional promoters behind the duo have developed a clear strategy to promote the duo and their works, not just this particular song.Little Apple was originally released to promote the duos film Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon.From the very beginning a viral marketing strategy was used to promote the song, which immediately went viral on the Internet due to its repetitive rhythm, easytoremember lyrics，simple and funny dance and, most importantly, grass roots nature.The video accumulated more than 1 billion hits on Chinas major video websites.Although the song was generally dismissed by music professionals who criticized it as “musical junk food”， Little Apples popularity nationally paved the way for promoting the duo internationally.【语篇解读】这是一篇新闻报道，主要讨论了网络神曲小苹果所引发的争议。13The writers attitude to the song of Little Apple is _Aopposed BnegativeCobjective Dcritical解析：作者态度题。根据第三段的整体内容可知，文章就人们对网络神曲小苹果的看法进行了正反两方面的客观陈述，即作者对这首歌持客观态度，故选C项。答案：C14What do the underlined words “the duo” in Paragraph 2 refer to?ALittle Apple. BChopsticks Brothers.CZhang Jie. DAmerican singers.解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句“Last week, Little Apple, written and performed by Chopsticks Brothers, won the AMA International Song Award and the duo performed the song at the 2014 American Music Awards in Los Angeles.”可推知，the duo的意思是“一对表演者”，此处代指小苹果的表演者“筷子兄弟”，故选B项。答案：B15We can learn from the passage that _ALittle Apples popularity is also a success of the marketing strategyBLittle Apple is generally thought worthless by the AMACLittle Apple is really popular with all people in ChinaDLittle Apple was originally released as a pop song on the Internet解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第一句“From the very beginning a viral marketing strategy was used to promote the song, which immediately went viral on the Internet due to its repetitive rhythm, easytoremember lyrics，simple and funny dance and, most importantly, grass roots nature.”可推知，小苹果的流行本身就证明了它是一个成功的营销策略，故选A项。答案：A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。Organizing your timeYou can set a budget for your time just as you can set a budget for your money.Since youre trying to reduce worry rather than increase it, go into this process with a focus on maximizing (使最大化) your personal time, rather than cramming as much as you can into each day.Set a sleep schedule._16_ Give yourself a onehour target for bedtime in the evening, and set a strict time to get up in the morning.Be sure that the space between your bedtime and the start of your day gives you roughly an hour more than the amount of sleep you actually need._17_Take care of tasks at the same time every day.Plan time for daily health care, commuting (乘公交上下班往返)，work, shopping, eating, and chores (日常事务)Add in time for anything else you do most days, such as homework，exercise, or an active hobby._18_ All the time left over is your free time, to use for relaxation or whatever else you want._19_For example，you might plan to go, dropping on your way home from work, to save the extra trip.For many people, an irregular work schedule makes this kind of budgeting difficult._20_AHowever, you can still plan to work around your schedule in the same order every day.BStick to it, even on weekends.CTry to combine trips outside the home to maximize your free time.DDifferent days call for different approaches.ETherefore, you wont lay down and start worrying about whether or not youll fall asleep on time.FSit comfortably and focus on your breathing until the rest of your thoughts become quiet.GPut them in a specific order that works for you.答案：16.B17.E18.G19.C20.A第二部分英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。In an old city of Hungary, there used to be a boy who was very rich and clever but nothing could make him feel happy.He had almost everything a boy could ever want, so he was only _21_ in the most rare objects.One day his parents bought him a very strange _22_When the boy went to see his reflection (影像) in it, he looked very _23_He tried smiling，_24_ his reflection continued with its sad expression.The boy went off to buy sweets and lots of toys._25_，he came home as happy as he could be，but he _26_ looked sad in that mirror, “What a(n) _27_ mirror!
