11."Three Apples"changed the world.The first one seduced (引诱) Eve.The second one awakened Newton.(36)G Here are some famous words from Steve Jobs to share.
On Character
I'm the only person I know who's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year.(37)B
On good design
That's been one of my mottoes-focus and simplicity.Simple can be harder than complex-You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.But it's worth it in the end because once you get there,you can move mountains.
On his outlook (人生观)
(38)A Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful,that's what matters to me.
On your working life
Your work is to fill a large part of your life,and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.(39)E If you haven't found it,keep looking.Don't settle.
On the importance of death
No one wants to die.Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there.(40)C No one has ever escaped it.And that is as it should be,because death is very likely the single best invention of life.It is life's change agent.It clears out the old to make way for the new.Right now the new is you,but someday not too long from now,you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.

A.Being the richest man in the cemetery (墓地) doesn't matter to me.
B.It's very character-building.
C.And yet death is the destination we all share.
D.It's really hard to design products by focusing on groups
E.And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.
F.This is not a one-man show.
G.The third one was in the hands of Steve Jobs.

分析 本文是一篇选句填空题,本文讲述了"三个苹果"改变了世界,第一个是引诱了夏娃;第二个砸到了牛顿头上;第三个握在乔布斯的手里.接下来又介绍了乔布斯的一些著名词汇:1、性格;2、好的设计;3、人生观;4、死亡的重要性.

37.B总结归纳题.根据此段的小标题"On character"可知该段讲述性格;再根据I'm the only person I know that's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year.可知这里是论性格的塑造.故选B.
38.A理解判断题.根据后句Saying we've done something wonderful when going to bed at night.That's what matters to me.可知"…那个对我才有关系",可知前面是对比说无意义的事.A项:Being the richest man in the cemetery (墓地) doesn't matter to me.(成为墓园中最有钱的人跟我没关系)符合题意.故选A.
39.E细节理解题.根据前句and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.可知这里想说作者伟大的事情就是热爱自己做的事.故选E.
40.C上下文理解题.根据后句No one wants to die.Even people who want to  go to heaven don't want to die to get there.可知这里想说谁也不想死,然而谁也逃不过这样的终点.C项:And yet death is the destination we all share.(但是死亡是我们共有的目的地.)符合题意.故选C.

点评 完成七选五阅读时,我们可以从关联词上查找答案.由于英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示衔接和过渡,使文章逻辑更清楚和连贯,因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索.在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来.

8.I'd planned to spend my weekend in the sun,potting flowers outdoors.But that was before the pair of crows (乌鸦).Out of nowhere,they had set up their base camp in our backyard.
We first discovered our feathered enemies on Friday morning.It was early,and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood.I figured they'd go away soon.But,no.They were getting louder and probably annoying my neighbors nearly as much as us with the noise.I admit I got a little desperate.
Then,on Sunday afternoon,I looked out the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi staring at something on the ground.I went to explore and found a small coal-black bird in the grass.Its eyes were milky,and it stayed perfectly still as my dog walked towards it.Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away.I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera.
It never occurred to me that the young would be hanging out on the ground,growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above.The second I saw this little creature I forgave the crows.
To be honest,I've never been much of a bird person.I also have a healthy respect for birds.They're basically living dinosaurs.
I wish they'd chosen another backyard.There are only so many sunny days in Seattle,and I still can't do any gardening out there.But I'm also grateful that I got to see this little bit of nature unfold up close.It's pretty amazing.
The experience has also strengthened my desire to create a beautiful backyard garden that attracts lots of bees,butterflies,and yes,birds.They are welcome here.

3.Billboard Music Awards of the Year 2015goes to Taylor Swift,a singer-songwriter,who has shaped and inspired the American music industry with her success.
When Taylor Swift first came to public notice,she was a 17-year-old newcomer who loved singing to her own guitar.She was far more enthusiastic than skilled,but apparently threw spark of superb talent.
Four year's later,Swift has become a multi-awards winner,with the biggest selling albums(唱片).For her outstanding performance,Taylor Swift was named Billboard magazine's woman in 2011.She is the youngest artist to receive honors and several Billboard Music Awards,among them Top Country Album for the five-time platinum(白金) selling Speak Now,her third album that was released that year.
"Taylor has shown the power of good songwriting with music of styles."said Bill Werde,Billboard's editorial director,"And at such a young age,Taylor has already made a major impact on music and has been an unbelievable role model for promising artists and young woman everywhere."
Swift is used to breaking chart records and winning honors since her career started.She followed that up in 2008with Fearless,which established her as a skilled songwriter with several hits,including Love Story,You Belong With Me and White Horse.
Not surprisingly,the 6-time platinum Fearless is the most awarded album in country music history in the US and her overall worldwide sales now reach 20million albums and 40million songs downloads.Swift has spent the past year on the Speak NOW World Tour in support of her third album,and now she's getting ready to go further.
According to a recent interview with The New Yorker magazine,Swift has so far written about 10songs for a 2016album.She said the new album is about feelings of growing up and becoming an adult.
"They're sad if I'm being honest."Swift told The New Yorker."They're about my heartbreaks and my moving on.But more importantly,they are about achieving contentment.You're not always going to be ridiculously happy as you grow up."

20.Chinese female film stars,like Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi,due to the charm of their films,have set a good image for Chinese women in the world.Compared with Chinese women,the image of Chinese men is not so good in the eyes of Western women,the Shanghai Evening Post reported.
    In March 2006,Zhang Jiehai,a doctorate(博士学位) holder at the Sociology Institute of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences,led a research team to investigate how Western women look at Chinese men.The survey shows that many Western women think Chinese men are mostly known for their care for the family.Chinese men,as the Western women say,are willing to spend money for women.As to their shortcomings,Western women think that Chinese men do not have good manners and that some Chinese men have the habit of spitting everywhere,keeping nails and hair long,picking their noses and ears in public places,and not cleaning their teeth thoroughly.These bad habits make many Western women think that Chinese men are unwilling to take care of their personal image.
    The survey was carried out in two ways,by questionnaires and interviews.All the respondents(调查对象) agreed that Chinese men show much tender loving care for the family and that many Chinese men do know how to respect women.They open the door for women and carry their handbags for them.For some American women,the bad image of Chinese men in the world is largely because of Hollywood films.In many Hollywood films,Chinese men usually do not have a good image.But this has been changed by Hong Kong film star Chow Yun-Fat.After the Chinese film Crouching Tiger,Hidden Dragon was shown in cinemas in the United States in 2002,many Westerners began to change their impression of Chinese men.
32.Which statement best expresses the main idea of the first paragraph?D
A.Chinese female film stars enjoy as great fame as Chinese male film stars in the world.
B.Chinese male film stars do not perform well in their films in the eyes of Western women.
C.Chinese female film stars don't like Western male film stars.
D.Chinese female film stars have set a good image for Chinese women.
33.Which is NOT mentioned as the shortcoming of Chinese men in Paragraph 2?B
A.Spitting everywhere.
B.Speaking too loudly in public places.
C.Not cleaning their teeth thoroughly.
D.Picking their noses and ears in public places.
34.In some American women's eyes,Chinese men's images are bad because ofC.
A.Chinese female film stars
B.Chinese male film stars
C.Hollywood films
D.Film stars in Hong Kong
35.What does the passage mainly deal with?A
A.Chinese men in the eyes of Western women.
B.Foreign film stars and Chinese film stars.
C.Chinese women in the eyes of Western men.
D.Chinese film stars in Hollywood films.
1.FROM dogs and cats to pandas and penguins,lists of adorable animals can be very varied.However,when it comes to scary animals,the answers are often more or less the same-snakes and spiders are among the most dreadful ones for the majority of us.
However,most of us have never been bitten by a snake or a spider.So does this mean we are born with a fear of certain things?
Scientists have been actively looking into it for a long time.For example,studies have suggested that babies find live animals much more interesting than stuffed (毛绒填充的) ones.This interest continues even if those animals are snakes and spiders.
A study published in Psychological Science in 2008seemed to show that snakes did have a different impact on babies.When scientists presented babies with animal videos along with random sounds of happy or frightened human voices,they found that babies looked at snakes for longer than any other animal however the voices sounded.
Now,a team from Rutgers University in New Jersey,US has tried to challenge the idea that babies are born with a fear of snakes and spiders.According to the BBC,the researchers measured babies'physiological (生理的) responses as they watched videos of snakes and elephants paired with both fearful and happy voices.
Scientists then set out to surprise the babies to see how they would react.They presented them with an unexpected bright flash of light as they watched a video.As the BBC explained,a surprise like this would be more intense (强烈的) if the babies were already scared,just like when we watch scary films and jump more if we are already scared.
However,according to their findings,published recently in the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology,babies'surprised responses were not bigger when watching a video of a snake,even when it was shown with a fearful voice.Their heart response was also lower,which also made it seem that babies were not scared.
"Children do not have an innate fear of snakes,"concluded the study.Even if previous studies had suggested that babies have different responses to snakes,it isn't necessarily related to fear."It's possible that paying more attention to something might make fear learning easier later on.It leads to fear learning,"said research co-author Vanessa LoBue.She further explained that it was a good thing that humans didn't have an inborn fear of snakes because it would make a young infant's  desire to explore new things less strong.
Instead,we have evolved to quickly learn to be afraid of something if it turns out to be dangerous.

62.What is the article mainly about?B
A.How people's fear of snakes and spiders has evolved.
B.Whether humans are born with a fear of snakes and spiders.
C.Why snakes and spiders are considered the most dreadful animals.
D.How babies react differently from adults to snakes and spiders.
63.What was the finding of the study published in Psychological Science in 2008?D
A.The longer babies looked at snakes in the video,the less scared they were.
B.The fearful voices babies heard when watching snake videos doubled their fear of snakes.
C.Babies'responses to the snake in the videos were greatly affected by the types of voices they heard.
D.Babies took more interest in snakes than the other animals in the videos regardless of which human voices they heard.
64.The underlined word"innate"in the second-to-last paragraph is the closest in meaning toA.
A.from birth     B.from learning      C.lasting     D.immediate
65.How did babies react when the researchers from Rutgers University surprised them while they were watching a video of a snake?C
A.They paid more attention to the snakes when they heard a fearful voice.
B.Babies'heart responses changed slightly when they heard a fearful voice.
C.A fearful voice didn't make their surprised response become more intense.
D.They became more scared when they experienced an unexpected bright flash of light.
66.According to Vanessa LoBue,since babies don't have an inborn fear of snakes,B
A.it would make it easier for them to learn fear
B.it would make them more willing to explore new things
C.it would lead them to stay away from dangerous things
D.it would encourage them not to be afraid of anything.
