17．The man behind the Apple empire died at 56in 2011．He was one of the people who made Silicon Valley（硅谷） the capital of technological invention．Author and business consultant Jim Collins once called Jobs the"Beethoven of business"．When asked what Steve Jobs will be best remembered for，many of us would name a particular product：the iPod，the iPhone or the iPad，for example．But in the eyes of Eric Jackson，a reporter with Forbes magazine，Jobs brought the world much more than these popular devices（裝置）．Here are some of the lessons he taught us：
1．The most lasting inventions mix art and science．Jobs pointed out that the team members working with Apple were trained in anthropology（人類學(xué)），art，history，and poetry．He believed this was important in making Apple's products stand out．
2．Never fear failure．Jobs was fired by the successor he himself chose．It was one of the most public embarrassments（尷尬）of the last 30years in business．However，Jobs didn't hide away or try to get a new job．He picked himself up and got back to work．
3．You can't look forward to connecting the dots-you can only look backward．This means that，however much we try to plan things ahead of time，life is always full of unexpected things．What seems like bitter pain and defeat could turn out to sow the seeds of unimaginable success in years to come．You can't connect the dots looking forward．But you have to trust that all the dots will be connected in the future．
4．Listen to that voice in the back of your head that tells you if you're on the right track or not．Most of us simply decide that we're going to work in finance or become a doctor because it's what our parents tell us to do．Whatever your voice is telling you，it is smart to listen to it-like Jobs did．
Just as Caroline and Amy from his empire put it，"Steve was one of the most inspiring yet toughest boss ever-but who else could have built Apple？What Steve left is sure to inspire generations of creative thinkers to think differently．His influence will be felt throughout the world．"

64．From the passage，we learn thatC．
A．Steve Jobs is the first founder of Silicon Valley
B．Steve Jobs is only remembered for the popular device iPhone
C．mixing art and science is really important in making Apple's products noticeable
D．a(chǎn)ll the team members in Silicon Valley are trained in anthropology，art，history and poetry
65．According to the passage，which words can be best used to describe Steve Jobs？D
A．Popular but sensitive．   B．Brave but stubborn．
C．Different and reliable．  D．Determined and inspiring．
66．What does the phrase"picked himself up"（Paragraph 3）most probably mean？D
A．Became excited．    B．Refused to talk．
C．Got others'help．  D．Cheered himself up．
67．What's the writer's main purpose of writing the passage？C
A．To introduce readers the life story of Steve Jobs．
B．To tell readers Steve Jobs is the"Beethoven of business"．
C．To encourage readers to learn from Steve Jobs'life experience．
D．To persuade readers that they shouldn't always-follow what parents tell them to do．

14．It took an hour to clean and make the building safe．The homeowner plans to sue the robot's manufacturer．
In the United States，the lonely have Reddit and cats．In China，they have Singles'Day，which falls on Nov.11--11.11，the four ones symbolizing"bare branches，"Chinese slang for bachelors．Thought to have originated about 20 years ago as a joke on college campuses，Singles'Day was once an occasion for confessing one's feelings to that special someone．But since 2010，online retailers have transformed the holiday，also known as"Double 11，"into an epic online shopping extravaganza（盛會(huì)）alike to America's Cyber Monday．
Jack Ma，founder of Internet giant Alibaba，told Chinese Premier Li Keqiang late last month that Alibaba's sales on Singles'Day 2012 were"nearly 3.3billion"--morethandoubletheroughly1.5 billion purchased on Cyber Monday in 2012．For Singles'Day 2013，Ma expects sales to exceed 4.9billion．
The rise of singletons as a consumer group is not without its own costs．Chinese business magazine Caijing reported that big delivery companies were forced to scramble to find over 100 extra airplanes to handle the 323 million parcels they needed to deliver over the Singles'Day shopping period．
The holiday strains the logistics system：Products frequently sell out or arrive late．Even when everything moves smoothly，consumers complain about commercial gimmicks （花招）．According to the Beijing Evening News，a popular local paper，some online retailers quietly raise prices before slashing them．
Chinese are no strangers to loneliness：There are tens of millions of men in China who may never find love due to the country's massive gender imbalance，a result of the One Child Policy and a longstanding preference for male children．Chinese women don't have it easy either：Those who remain unmarried at the ripe old age of 27 risk being labeled"leftover women"．
Although poverty and singledom are often linked outcomes in China，at least one web user was sure of which was worse．"Spending Singles'Day alone isn't that scary，"he wrote．"What's scary is when you're so poor you can't even enjoy Taobao's‘Double 11．'"
59．What can we infer about America's Cyber Monday from the text？C
A．It is a day for the singles in America．
B．It is celebrated every Monday by the Americans．
C．It is an online shopping day for the Americans．
D．It doubled the sales of Alibaba's on Singles'Day 2012．
60．What is the main idea of paragraphs 3 and 4？D
A．Extra airplanes are needed to deliver the Day's shopping．
B．Products are arriving late．
C．Customers are complaining about the Day．
D．Cost is high for consumers on that day．
61．What can we know from the last two paragraphs？B
A．Being poor means being single for a lifetime．
B．Many Chinese men are single because of gender imbalance．
C．Being single is even worse than being poor in China．
D．There are more singled female than singled male in China．
62．What can we conclude about Singles'Day from the text？C
A．All online retailers will raise prices before slashing them．
B．Jack Ma first founded the festival．
C．Its original meaning is to confess one's feeling to a boy or girl．
D．The sales for Singles'Day 2013 is over 4.9 billion．

1．The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past．With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones，writing by hand has become something of nostalgic （懷舊的）skill．However，while today's educators are using more and more technology in their teaching，many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful---both in school and in life．
Virginia Berninger，professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington，says it's important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand．
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand．The study，published in 2009，found that when writing with a pen and paper，participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate．
In a more recent study，Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student's writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write．"Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary，word meaning and concepts．It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas．"Berninger said．
Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then transcribe（轉(zhuǎn)換）"those words in the mind into written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen，"the study said．Seeing the words in the"mind's eye"helps children not only to turn their ideas into words，says Berninger，but also to spot（發(fā)現(xiàn)） spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time．
"In our computer age，some people believe that we don't have to teach spelling because we have spell checks，"she said．"But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level，they won't have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer．"
67．What makes writing by hand a thing of the past？C
A．The absence of blackboard in classroom．
B．The lack of practice in handwriting．
C．The use of new technologies in teaching．
D．The popular use of smartphones．
68．Berninger's study published in 2009B．
A．indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper．
B．focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer．
C．found that good essays are made up of long sentences．
D．discussed the importance of writing speed．
69．Which of the following best shows the role of spelling？D
A．Spelling improves one's memory of words．
B．Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas．
C．Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas．
D．Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability．
70．What conclusion could be drawn from the passage？A
A．Handwriting still has a place in today's classrooms．
B．Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching．
C．Computers can help people with their choice of words．
D．Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade．

11．An entire industry has been built upon the assumption that image is everything，but when it comes to it，an appealing image is not enough．If there is no substance（事實(shí)）behind the image，the product，service or person will fail eventually．
First of all，one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services．Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection．Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies．But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created，the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back．For example，the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness．But the recent scandal（丑聞）showed that behind that image，it cheated in business practices．Despite the previous positive image，the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit．Although the image had been nearly perfect，the reality，behind the image has led to tile downfall of the word-famous accounting firm．
Similarly，personal advisers can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars．Putting out positive news releases，making sure that only the best photographs are published，and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons．But once again，history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune．With people，just as with products and services，image is certainly important，but without positive substance behind the image，failure is close．
To summarize，it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success，whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the"selling"of a person．But image is only half of the equation（等式）．What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself--the person or product must deliver truth on that image or there is little chance for long-term success．
67．The down fall of the Arthur Andersen accounting firm is due toB．
A．its previous images                 
B．its dishonesty in business
C．its bad management                
D．its poor service
68．Why did some famous people fall from grace？A
A．They failed to live up to their images．
B．Their images were not well built up．
C．They felt much pressure from the public．
D．They paid little attention to fame and fortune．
69．The structure of the passage isA．

70．The author tries to argue thatD．
A．image creates everything            
B．image is the key to success
C．truth is unlikely ever to be equaled    
D．truth and image are equally important．

Some animals，like the red-eyed tree frog，may scare enemies away with their color，Red-eyed tree frogs sleep during the day．If a meat-eating animal comes up to them and they open their eyes，the bright red color of their eyes might shock the animal long enough to give the red-eyed tree flog time to hop away to safety．

16．Which do you think is the best way to keep healthy？
With the development of the society，people no longer worry about where their next meal comes from as they did in the old days．They become more and more concerned about their health problem．Different people come up with different views：eating green food，doing outdoor exercises or going to hospital for medical treatment frequently．As far as I am concerned，the best way to keep healthy is to develop a good quality of psychology（心理）．
According to some surveys，nowadays，most patients are not physically sick but mentally（精神上） ill．They feel the burden on their shoulders is much heavier than others，so they can't step out of the shadow of depression and sadness．They need to release their spirit to the nature．
Besides，if you have developed a good quality of psychology，you'll become more sociable and thus more willing to play your part in the society．Joining in some keep-fit clubs or attending some travel agency，which by themselves are various versions of physical exercise，will benefit you a lot．
As a poem says，youth is not a period of time； it's a state of mind．Everybody wants to keep young at heart because youth is a symbol for endless energy and passion for living．
Keep a good quality of mind，or keep a sense of humour，even if you are 80，and you'll never be old．
