解答 11-15 BCACD   16-20 BBCDB   21-25 DBADB 26-30 DACDA
11．B     考查动词辨析．根据"a room with two double beds and a bathroom"可知，我和父亲共同分享一间有着两个双人床和一个浴室的房间．故B正确．
12．C   考查形容词辨析．根据上文内容，父女两共有这样一个放着两张双人床，还圈出一个浴室的房间，从而可推知，空间应该是狭小的，故C正确．
13．A    考查介词短语辨析．根据下文"my stepmother had…us both out of the house the previous week"可知，作者的继母把我们赶出了家门，故是爸爸的第二次婚姻出现了问题，"in trouble   处于困境中"，所以选A正确．
14．C     考查动词短语．根据整句话的意思以及下文的叙述可知，爸爸的婚姻遭到麻烦，继母把父女两赶出了家门，与赶出有意思相近的动词就是"kicked"了，故C正确．
15．D      考查名词辨析．根据下文"what to do withme"可知，爸爸不知道该怎么做；"have no idea 不知道"故D正确．
16．B     考查动词短语辨析．上文作者说她与父亲被继母赶出家门，下文作者写了到另一个家庭里生活并得到很到的照顾，由此可知，作者的家庭破裂时，另一个家庭出现了，"show up    出现"故B正确．
17．B     考查连词辨析．根据"their onlydaughter，Su，my best friend，asked them to．"是Barbaraand Roland把我带到他们家中；因为他们的女儿是我的好朋友，所以用because．故选B．
18．C     考查动词辨析．根据下文"with them for thenext seven years．"可知，作者是与他们生活了七年．故选C．
19．D     考查动词短语辨析．作者能够有吃饭的钱、有病能看医生、学习上获得帮助、夜晚的拥抱等这些都是在新的家庭里得到的，作为他们的女儿，父母是要确保孩子的这些的，A，B，C均不符合上下文逻辑，根据句意分析故D正确．
20．B      考查连词辨析．根据上下文逻辑，就我能说出来的，B项最佳．
21．D     考查名词辨析．对Beaches来说，我和SU之间没有任何区别，我也是他们的女儿．故D正确．
22．B     考查动词短语辨析．根据语境可知，当我和"Su"进入大学了，他们把我的房间留下来，可见是动身去读大学，"leave for  前往；动身去…"故B正确．
23．A     考查不定代词辨析．根据下文"they had heard the whole story from Su．"可知，‘The Beaches'已经知道我的故事了而且是整个故事；故选A项．
24．D     考查动词辨析．根据上文"When I was seven，my mother died and from then on my father relied on other people"可知，父亲要靠别人抚养他的孩子．故选D．
25．B     考查形容词辨析．根据作者与‘The Beaches'生活之前，她遭遇了家庭破裂的事，这对于一个孩子的影响是很大的，使作者产生对生活的消极态度是可以理解，也是符合常理的，而且下文作者说"that love was shaky and untrustworthy"爱是摇摆不定的，不可信的；可知选B项．
26．D     考查连词辨析．要不是因为"The Beaches"，我就会成为一个痛苦的，愤世嫉俗的女人．句中"would havebecome"是关键，它决定了前面的空是but for而不是"thanks to"；故选D．
27．A     考查名词辨析．根据全文大意可知，作者与他们共同生活，他们也把作者当做女儿来看待，所以他们给予"我"的应是一个家庭．故选A．
28．C     考查名词辨析．他们让我免于被我的过去使我麻痹颓废．故选C项．
29．D     考查动词短语辨析．根据文章后一部分，作者因为"The Beaches"一家而从原来的消极对待生活变成积极面对，她也由此相信爱，相信有家．故D正确．
30．A      考查形容词辨析．"我"是住在Beaches家的，不是在那里出生的．故选A．

14．What motivates（激发） us to take on life's challenges？Is it money，fame，power，or something else？Most businesses operate today on the carrot-and-stick system of rewards（奖赏） and punishments．Employees are rewarded for good performance，and punished for performing badly．This usually works well in situations where workers are performining simple tasks，like cheching products or packing boxes．
However，for jobs that repuire creativity，such as writing or designing，it's a different matter．In actual fact，people in these jobs are not so much motivated by outer factors like cash rewards．They do their job because they like it．They like the challenge of it，they like the mastery of it，they like the creativity that it requires．These factors are generally called inner motivators，which can be further broken down into autonomy，mastery and purpose．
Autonomy refers to self-direction．The greatest things that have happened in all kinds of societies--western，eastern，modern，ancient-have been the result of people being able to do what they wanted to do．People，like these Iranian portesters in July 2009，follow the human nature to resist（抵制） control and direct their own lives．
Mastery is the desire to become better at something that matters．A recent Harvard business school research shows that the biggest motivator at work by far is making porgress．People，making progress one day，are more likely to be motivated to make greater progress the next day．
And finally，purpose，to do what we do in service of something larger than ourselves．It is not necessarily something like reducing-green-house gases from the atmosphere，but can be simply writing a great story that helps people understand world a little bit better or creating something that brings beauty to somebody's life．
Today's business managers，facing the increasingly competitive pressures of a global marketplace，should question their traditional attitudes about what actually motivates us as humans．

12．Many teachers worry about the effects of television with young people．According to studies，many children spend more time watching television than they spend in school．Because so much viewing，children may not be develop the habit of read and the ability to enjoy themselves．No one worries much about the radio program young people listen to，although radios can be very noise．Teachers also wonder about the effects of television commercials．
On one year the average child will see 25，000television commercials，all planned and written by grown-ups to make children to want things that they don't real need．

For over 2000 years, the good old iron horseshoe has remained the only reliable footwear f horses, but an Austrian company is ready to “take the horse out of the Iron Age” with the world’s first equine(似马的) running shoes, the Megasus Horserunners.

Charly Forstner, the founder of Megasus, learned that over 50% of horses that , put down suffered from severe hoof (蹄) and leg problems. 20 years ago, he decided to devote his life to coming up with a better alternative to the iron horseshoe. Recently he created truly revolutionary-clip-on running shoes for horses.

While the iron horseshoe is known for its durability and adjustability it also has some serious flaws-it’s heavy, restricts movement, has no shock absorption, channels heat and cold to the inner hoof, and the need for nailing can destroy the hoof horn. But finding hoof boots that don’t rub on a horse, leg and hoof, are easy to put on and remove, and stay on all kinds of terrain(地形), can be a real struggle. The Megasus Horserunners claim to combine all the qualities of both choices, while getting rid of the downsides.

“The innovative Megasus Horserunners offer many advantages. They are lightweight, can be adjusted individually, easy to put on, and offer protection without permanence,” a Megasus press release states.

“It can also stay put in all kinds of terrain including mud and water plus it allows the hoof to be flexible. The product is also designed to protect the sole from bruising, cracking and other injuries by offering shock absorption. It does not accumulate snow, dirt or mud and is easy to clean.”

After successful tests, Megasus sought to raise some money for production through crowdfunding online, asking for ?100,00. Finally, they managed to raise ?169,136. The first Megasus Horserunners are scheduled to be shipped in July 2017.

2.Which of the following is close to the underlined word “flaw” in Para. 4?

A. loss B. mistake

3.How did Megasus get their fund to produce their products?

A. They collected money on a platform online.

B. They raised money among their campaigners.

C. They borrowed money from the local banks.

D. They launched a campaign in the market.
