【解析】

本文為記敘文。文章介紹了著名影星Audrey Hepburn(奧黛麗·赫本)的生平事跡。1953年主演的《羅馬假日》使她一舉成名。從1989年直至1993年去世,赫本一直擔任聯(lián)合國兒童基金會的特使,為拉美和非洲兒童提供了很大的幫助。

1細節(jié)理解題。第一段提到了她的身份,第五段提到她的婚姻,最后兩段提到她的貢獻。所以她的婚姻、身份和貢獻在文章中都提到了,唯獨沒有提及她的宗教信仰,故選D。

2細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks”和“she returned to London after the war”二戰(zhàn)期間,她在荷蘭生活和學習。她母親認為是安全的,不會受到德國的攻擊。戰(zhàn)后回到倫敦上大學時,可知,B 項符合題意。

3推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段和第三段前半部分可知,二戰(zhàn)期間其父母不在德國生活,故B項錯誤;根據(jù)第二段中“she realized she wasn’t going to be a ballerina”可知是她主動放棄的,C項錯誤;根據(jù)第三段中的“But it was Audrey Hepburn's move to America that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character “Gigi”in the Broadway play of the same name to great critical praise”由文章第三段內(nèi)容可知,但是奧黛麗·赫本移居美國給她帶來了真正的名聲。1951年,她在百老匯同名劇中扮演了“吉吉”這個角色,受到了極大的好評。但并不是她扮演的最有名的角色,因此D項錯誤。故選A項。

4細節(jié)理解題。結(jié)合文章內(nèi)容可知,戰(zhàn)后她從荷蘭回到倫敦后開始拍電影,1953年她獲得奧斯卡最佳女演員獎,1964年她在我的窈窕淑女中扮演了一個角色。1989年,聯(lián)合國兒童基金會任命奧黛麗為親善大使。她周游世界各地,以支持UNLCEF項目。根據(jù)內(nèi)容進行排序可以判斷,C項順序正確。故選C

【題目】 We have most friends at the age of 26 after having spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle, new research has claimed.

The research into friendship shows that our social circle peaks at 26 years and 7 months, at which we typically have five close friends.Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months, with men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months.

The research, by Forever Friends, shows that about a third of adults meet their closest friends while at school,with about a fifth saying they meet them at work.

Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship.The research points out that 25 to 34yearolds make 22 friends via Facebook, compared to 18 to 24yearolds who make 12, and 35 to 44yearolds who make just four.

Forever Friends' relationship coach Sam Owen says, “It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notesgiving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference.”

Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving, while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% to drift away from childhood friends.

With growing pressure being put on friendship these days,it's important to make time for our friendship.

Most students do an IQ test early in their school career. Even if they never see their results, they feel that their IQ is 1 determines how well they are going to do in life.

【題目】Alibaba, Bank of China and Huawei—these are the dream employers for Chinese students, according to a new survey.

“The survey of more than 55,000 students, conducted by the research firm Universum, has found that roughly a quarter want to work for an international company, while only 9% want to work for a start-up. Five percent want to start their own business.”

The students said that work-1ife balance was the most important career goal, followed by job stability. When it comes to desirable companies, Bank of China has been named the top choice by business students for seven consecutive years, and the gigantic state-owned firm shows no signs of giving up its lead.

William Wu, the China country manager for Universum, said that banking remains an attractive industry for young Chinese. “China’s government is now emphasizing the revolution of the finance industry, which leaves the younger generation with the impression that although banking is a traditional industry, there are still a lot of development opportunities.” Wu said.

E-commerce giant Alibaba (BABA, Tech30) improved six places from 2014, ranking second among business students. Alibaba’s rise shouldn’t come as much of a surprise—the company held a record-breaking $25 billion IPO in September.

Among engineering students, Alibaba was once again a bridesmaid. Instead, Huawei—a telecoms infrastructure firm that now makes consumer products-took the top spot.

“Both of these companies are pioneers in terms of local companies going international.” said Wu. “It shows that… an international development strategy has a positive influence among Chinese young talents.” Tech companies ruled the rankings for humanities students, with Alibaba—which was ninth in 2014 landing at the top. Last year, Apple was the Number l choice of Chinese students.

1What’s the percentage of the surveyed students who want to join a company set up recently?

A. Five percent.

B. Twenty-five percent.

C. Nine percent.

D. Twenty percent.

2What is the second most important career goal for the students?

A. Work-life balance.

B. Job stability.

C. Alibaba.

D. Their own business.

3In William Wu’s viewpoint, a native company that _______ will attract graduates.

A. is rooted only in China

B. makes consumer products

C. goes international

D. just aims at the foreign market

4What does the passage want to tell us mainly?

A. What companies students want to work for.

B. Why students have to go to university.

C. How a company can develop well.

D. Where students’ success lies in.
