8．As the labor market becomes more attractive，more companies are sending their employees to school．Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is the latest company to use tuition assistance for employees-which for decades has been a part of many business'benefits packages-as part of a renewed effort to bring in and cultivate talent．And while the impact of such programs has yet to be fully assessed，many see it as a positive-although gradual-movement．
"For workers，it gives them a better opportunity for development，"says Colleen Flaherty Manchester，a professor．"For firms，they are able to recruit the type of employees who have value education and are less likely to turn over，and thus have a higher level of retention（保留）．"
In all，56percent of US organizations offer undergraduate educational assistance while 52percent offer graduate assistance．
Largely driving the trend are Millennials，who happen to be the fastest-growing people in the US workforce today and to whom the idea of tuition support from employers is especially appealing．Nearly 60percent of Millennials surveyed said they would choose a job with strong professional-development potential over one with regular pay raises．Employers are absolutely adapting to Millennials in the workplace．They recognize that they need more experience，more knowledge，more mentoring to be successful．And they're asking for it．
Of more than 140，000Starbucks employees，only about 4，000have signed up for the company's College Achievement Plan．What the long-term effects such programs might have for companies'retention and turnover rates remain unclear．But，the pluses of these programs are more important than the minuses．We're going to see a lot more of this in the future．
32．Using tuition assistance for employeesC．
A．has attracted a large number of talents
B．is a trend that formed recently
C．has existed for scores of years
D．is well received by employees
33．What can we learn from what Colleen Flaherty said？B
A．It is merely beneficial to employees
B．It is a win-win event for employees and employers．
C．Valuing education has become a trend for all companies．
D．It turns out to be tough for firms to find suitable employees．
34．What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 4refer to？C
A．Regular pay raises．
B．More chances to be successful
C．Educational support
D．Professional-development potential
35．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the programs？B
A．The programs can guarantee the employees a good job．
B．The impact of the programs remains to be estimated．
C．Employees will benefit more from the programs than companies．
D．It's less likely that employees will remain in the same company after receiving the programs．

分析 本文屬于議論文，隨著勞動市場越來越激烈，為了留住員工，很多公司送員工進(jìn)行繼續(xù)教育．給員工學(xué)費(fèi)援助，作為公司的福利套餐已經(jīng)存在了幾十年；而千禧一代促進(jìn)了這樣趨勢，因?yàn)閷τ贛illennials（千禧一代，即1983-2000出生的人）而言，來自雇主的教育支持非常吸引人，他們需要這種"教育支持"，因?yàn)樗麄冃枰嘟?jīng)驗(yàn)、更多知識和更多指導(dǎo)才能成功；通過送員工進(jìn)行繼續(xù)教育，工人得到更多的機(jī)會，公司能夠留住人才，這樣可以達(dá)到對公司和員工的雙贏．不過這樣的項(xiàng)目可能會對公司保留員工和跳槽比率有怎樣的長期的影響還不清楚．

解答 32．答案C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段中的Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is the latest company to use tuition assistance for employees-which for decades has been a part of many business'benefits packages可知Fiat Chrysler Automobiles 是最近的一家給員工學(xué)費(fèi)援助的公司，這作為很多公司的福利套餐已經(jīng)存在了幾十年，故C項(xiàng)符合語境．
33．答案 B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第二段中的For workers，it gives them a better opportunity for development（對工人來說，這給予他們更好的發(fā)展機(jī)會）與For firms，they are able to recruit the type of employees who have value education and are less likely to turn over，and thus have a higher level of retention（對公司而言，它們能夠吸收重視教育不太會跳槽的員工，因此實(shí)現(xiàn)高水平的保留），判斷這對于員工和公司來說是雙贏的，故選B項(xiàng)．
34．答案 C．詞義猜測題；由第四段中"to whom the idea of tuition support from employers is especially appealing．"可知，對于Millennials（千禧一代，即1983-2000出生的人）而言，來自雇主的教育支持非常吸引人；該段倒數(shù)第二句"They recognize that they need more experience，more knowledge，more mentoring to be successful．"說明，他們意識到他們需要更多經(jīng)驗(yàn)、更多知識和更多指導(dǎo)才能成功，由此判斷他們需要"教育支持"，故選C項(xiàng)．
35．答案B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．第一段提到：while the impact of such programs has yet to be fully assessed（雖然這樣的項(xiàng)目的影響還沒有得到充分評估），及最后一段提到：What the long-term effects such programs might have for companies'retention and turnover rates remain unclear（這樣的項(xiàng)目可能會對公司保留員工和跳槽比率有怎樣的長期的影響還不清楚）．可知選B項(xiàng)．

點(diǎn)評 閱讀要在整體理解文章的基礎(chǔ)上，在做細(xì)節(jié)題時(shí)根據(jù)題干定位細(xì)節(jié)，在語境中正確理解原句，然后對照選項(xiàng)做出合理的判斷；必要的時(shí)候要進(jìn)行推理，透過句子表面看作者的真正意圖．

19．Fly Alone for the First Time
I began flying lessons at the age of 14； but the Federal Aviation Administration requires you to be 16before you make flight by yourself．So I had to wait for two long years until I could fly a plane by myself．I used that time to master the basic maneuvers （要領(lǐng)） of flying．I learned emergency procedures and practiced hundreds of takeoffs and landings until I could land the airplane smoothly without bouncing it down the runway．It wasn't always easy，and many times I would come home feeling discouraged and thinking maybe everyone was right-I would never learn to fly，but by the next day，I was always eager to try again．
On the day of my 16th birthday，I made my first solo flight，which meant I could finally fly alone．The night before，my dad，who was my flight instructor，explained that the winds were forecast to be high．He said if we were in the air by dawn，the winds would probably be calm enough for me to solo．The next morning it was cold，but the sky was completely clear，and the winds were calm．I expected my dad to stay in the plane for at least three takeoffs and landings．But after the first one，he told me to pull off the runway，and he got out of the plane．
I was alone．As I climbed higher and higher，the world began to change．Everything on the ground became miniature．Houses，cars，and all looked like tiny toys that could fit in the surface of my hand．I made three takeoffs and landings that day．Each landing was perfect．It was one of the happiest days of my life．
Today，as a flight instructor，I stand alongside runways watching as my own students take to the sky on their first solo flights．I understand the joy faces，which always bring me back to that day when my dream came true．I learned that no matter how people tell you that you can't do something，if you believe in yourself，you can succeed．

44．When practicing flying，the authorD．
A．met several times of emergencies 
B．was worried about his own safety
C．couldn't wait to fly alone in the sky 
D．sometimes doubted his ability to fly
45．The underlined word"miniature"probably means"C"．
A．distant  
B．unclear  
C．small 
D．high
46．What was the father concerned about before his son flied alone？B
A．Whether his son was brave enough．
B．Whether it would be too windy．
C．Whether he was able to protect his son．
D．Whether there were negative comments．
47．What lesson does the author learn from his experience？A
A．Be confident and you will succeed．
B．Be responsible and you can grow up．
C．Give up something and you may win more．
D．Think hard and you can achieve your dream．

16．The world's most popular banana is facing a major health crisis．According to a new study，a disease caused by a powerful fungus（真菌）is killing the Cavendish banana，which accounts for 99% of the banana market around the globe．The disease，called Tropical Race 4 （TR4），has affected banana crops in southeast Asia for decades．In recent years，it has spread to the Middle East and the African nation of Mozambique．Now experts fear the disease will show up in Latin America，where the majority of the world's bananas are grown．
  Once a banana plant is infected with TR4，it cannot get water and nutrients．TR4 lives in soil，and can easily end up on a person's boots．If the contaminated boots are then worn on a field where Cavendish bananas are grown，the disease could be transferred．"Once a field has been contaminated with the disease，you can't grow Cavendish bananas there anymore，"Ploetz says．
  Cavendish bananas are popular among consumers．Ploetz says，"Consumers like the way Cavendish looks and tastes．"
  But Cavendish is also particularly attacked by TR4．"And they are all easily infected with this disease．So once one plant gets infected，it just runs like wildfire throughout that entire plantation．"
  Bananas have faced this kind of crisis before．In the mid-1900s，the most popular banana at the time was nearly wiped out by an earlier version of TR4．
  One solution to the problem，Ploetz says，is to try to develop new bananas that can resist TR4．"It really needs to be done，but we don't have it yet．"He notes that we still have time before we need to worry about the Cavendish banana disappearing．
27．The underlined word"contaminated"in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by"D"．
A．replaced    
B．supplied    
C．prevented  
D．infected    
28．If a banana plant is infected with TR4，the banana plant will probably die ofA．
A．thirst       
B．cold       
C．heat       
D．poison
29．We can infer that the disease，called TR4 canA．
A．last for a long time in the soil            
B．be cured easily with chemicals
C．be prevented from spreading easily        
D．damage a person's boots
30．which of the following is the best title？D
A．Hello，Bananas!
B．Say No to Bananas!
C．Bananas or TR4？
D．Bye-Bye，Bananas？

3．One of my main concerns when I am helping people achieve their goals is how they measure success．I see individuals getting frustrated as they struggle hard for success．
One of the main reasons that cause this frustration is that people allow their definition of success to be determined by someone or something else．Another is that they become frustrated at their own apparent lack of success when comparing themselves to other people．
We are individuals with individual wants，skills and experiences．We should look at our own skills to determine what is successful to us．We should look inwards to determine what it would mean for us to be successful in our own mind rather than someone else's．
Evaluating a successful person needs to look at his pathway to success，his actions，his determination and translate that into his own experience to see how he can improve himself．
You must set your own course of action，and stay on your course．You alone must determine what success means to you．Do what you do to the best of your ability and the rest will take care of itself．For example，I believe that I am successful but I am not a millionaire!Others may not see me as successful in their eyes but that does not matter．It is how I see myself that is important to me and my life．
Here is the truth．Being a success is doing your best，not being the best．Success is not something you become； it is something you continue being．
When we get to that point，we will experience a lot more joy and a lot less frustration．And that sounds good to us!
Remember the great quote from Napoleon Hill，"If you cannot do great things，do small things in a great way．"
25．What's the best title of this passage？C
A．Frustration Determines Success
B．The Importance of Frustration to Success
C．How to Measure Success
D．Evaluations of a Successful Person
26．In terms of success，the writer thinks people feel frustrated because theyD
A．struggle too hard               
B．know little about others
C．a(chǎn)re often discouraged          
D．underestimate themselves
27．According to the passage the writer advises us toC．
A．a(chǎn)ttach the importance to others'attitude and evaluation
B．learn from others，failure
C．set a proper goal and work hard to realize it
D．look at others'skills to determine what is successful to us．

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

With the cold weather season rapidly approaching, caring for dry skin may become more challenging. Here are some tips on how to protect your skin and keep it healthy throughout the colder months of the year.

1.

Avoid harsh(刺激性的) cleansers containing sulfates or alcohol, and choose a gentle cleanser. Harsh cleansers may disrupt the PH balance of your skin and cause dryness.

Switch to a face oil

2. In order to avoid dryness, rub about 3 to 5 drops of oil the palm of your hands and then gently pat it into the skin. Face oils offer the benefit of conditioning the skin and protecting it from the cold air.

Exfoliate(去死皮)

Exfoliating is very important because it helps to get rid of dead skin cells and encourages skin cell renewal. 3. However, especially when the skin is feeling extra dry, it is important to use a gentle product and not to overdo it.

4.

If you don’t feel thirsty and struggle with taking in enough liquids, try to drink tea, sweetened with a little raw honey. Dehydrated skin cells have a slower turnover rate, which results in dull skin and more visible fine lines.

5. The most advantage is that you will spend the cold season with comfort and confidence.

A. Drink plenty of water

B. Eat homemade soups

C. Use mild facial cleansers

D. Follow the above tips, you may own nice skin and look better.

E. Here are three of the most common example of skin discomfort.

F. After cleansing your face, your skin still takes the risk of dryness.

G. Moreover, dead skin cells won’t allow your face oil to enter the skin deeply.
