TEXT A
1. A planet believed to be remarkably similar to Earth has been discovered orbiting a distant sun-like star, bolstering hopes of finding life elsewhere in the universe, US scientists said on Thursday. The planet, which is about 60 percent larger than Earth, is located 1400 light years away in the constellation Cygnus. It was discovered by astronomer using NASA's kepler space telescope and it circles a star that is similar to size and temperature to the sun, but older.
2. \mer Jenkins told reporters on a conference call,
\rs in the habitable zone of its star. That's considerable time and opportunity for life exist on this planet.\m the sun, completing an orbit in 385 days, compared to Earth's 365-day orbit. At that distance, surface temperature would be suitable for liquid water, a condition to be believed critical for life.
3. Scientists previously have found Earth-sized planets orbiting in stars' so-called
\tar. NASA launched the Kepler telescope in 2009 to survey a sampling of nearby stars in an attempt to learn if planets like Earth were common in the galaxy.
4. \perature around non-like star,\ent larger than the Earth, this planet has a somewhat better chance of being rocky.\said, though this conclusion is based on statistic analysis and computer modeling, not direct evidence. If so, Kepler-452b could be about five times as massive as Earth and has gravity that is twice as strong as what exists on Earth surface. The planet also could have a thick atmosphere, cloudy skies and active volcanoes, Jenkin said.
5. With the discovery of Kepler-452b, the telescope has found 1030 confirmed planets include 11 other near-Earth twins, none of which circle sun-like stars. The telescope cannot see planets directly, but measures minute in light coming from target stars. Sophisticated computer programs and follow-up observations with ground based telescopes then determine if some of the light dips are caused by planets passing in front of their parent stars, relative to Kepler's line of sight. Attempts to learn if Kepler-452b has an atmosphere likely will have to wait for a new generation of more sensitive space telescope, said NASA's associate administrator John Grunsfeld.
31
According to paragraph 1, which of the following statements is TRUE? ( ) A、Planet very similar to Earth has been discovered orbiting the sun. B、The planet is about 160 percent the size of the Earth.
C、It would take a space shuttle about 1400 years to get to the planet.
D、The planet circles a star that is about the size, temperature and age of the sun. 32
What does the passage say about the Kepler space telescope? ( )
A、The telescope changes its measures every minute.
B、Computer programs and ground-based observations are used to determine whether a planet spotted by Kepler has a parent star.
C、The most important mission of the telescope was to survey a sampling of nearby stars. D、The telescope needs to wait for a new generation to discover whether Kepler-452b has an atmosphere. 33
According to paragraph 4, Kepler-452b . A、is very likely to be rocky
B、has a very slim chance of being rocky C、is very unlikely to be rocky
D、has an average chance of being rocky 34
It's very possible for life to rise on Kepler-452b because of all of the following reasons EXCEPT . A、It takes Kepler-452b 385 days to complete its orbit. B、Its parent star is very similar to the sun.
C、It's been orbiting its parent star for about 6 billion years. D、It is rocky and has liquid water. 35
It can be inferred from the passage that . A、of all the stars discovered so far, Kepler-452b is the most similar to the Earth.
B、previously found the Earth-sized planets orbiting in stars' habitable zones' are suitable for life.
C、if Kepler-452b is rocky, it could have gravity twice as strong as what exists on Earth's surface.
D、now people have found 12 Earth-like planets circling sun-like stars.

TEXT B
The majority of successful senior managers do not closely follow the classical rational model of first clarifying goals, assessing the problem, formulating options, estimating likelihoods of success, making a decision, and only then taking action to implement the decision. Rather, in their day-by-day tactical maneuvers, these senior executives rely on what is vaguely termed intuition to manage a network of interrelated problems that require them to deal with ambiguity, inconsistency, novelty, and surprise and to integrate action into the process of thinking.
Generations of writers on management have recognized that some practicing managers rely heavily on intuition. In general, however, such writers display a poor grasp of what intuition is. Some see it as the opposite of rationality; others view it as an excuse for capriciousness.
Isenberg’s recent research on the cognitive processes of senior managers reveals that managers’ intuition is neither of these. Rather, senior managers use intuition in at least five distinct ways. First, they intuitively sense when a problem exists. Second, managers rely on intuition to perform well-learned behavior patterns rapidly. This intuition is not arbitrary or irrational, but is based on years of painstaking practice and hands-on experience that build skills. A third function of intuition is to synthesize isolated bits of data and practice into an integrated picture, often in an Aha-experience. Fourth, some managers use intuition as a check on the results of more rational analysis. Most senior executives are familiar with the formal decision analysis models and tools, and those who use such systematic methods for reaching decisions are occasionally leery of solutions suggested by these methods which run counter to their sense of the correct course of action. Finally, managers can use intuition to bypass in-depth analysis and move rapidly to engender a plausible solution. Used in this way, intuition is an almost instantaneous cognitive process in which a manager recognizes familiar patterns.
One of the implications of the intuitive style of executive management is that thinking is inseparable from acting. Since managers often know what is right before they can analyze and explain it, they frequently act first and explain later. Analysis is inextricably tied to action in thinking/acting cycles, in which managers develop thoughts about their companies and organizations not by analyzing a problematic situation and then acting, but by acting and analyzing in close concert.
Given the great uncertainty of many of the management issues that they face, senior managers often instigate a course of action simply to learn more about an issue. They then use the results of the action to develop a more complete understanding of the issue. One implication of thinking/acting cycles is that action is often part of defining the problem, not just of implementing the solution.
36
According to the text, senior managers use intuition in all of the following ways EXCEPT to?( )
A、Speed up of the creation of a solution to a problem. B、Identify a problem.
C、Bring together disparate facts. D、Stipulate clear goals. 37
The text suggests which of the following about the writers on management mentioned in line 1, paragraph 2?
A、They have criticized managers for not following the classical rational model of decision analysis.
B、They have not based their analyses on a sufficiently large sample of actual managers. C、They have relied in drawing their conclusions on what managers say rather than on what managers do.
D、They have misunderstood how managers use intuition in making business decisions. 38
It can be inferred from the text that which of the following would most probably be one major difference in behavior between Manager X, who uses intuition to reach decisions, and Manager Y, who uses only formal decision analysis?( )
A、Manager X analyzes first and then acts; Manager Y does not.
B、Manager X checks possible solutions to a problem by systematic analysis; Manager Y does not. C、Manager X takes action in order to arrive at the solution to a problem; Manager Y does not. D、Manager Y draws on years of hands-on experience in creating a solution to a problem; Manager X does not. 39

TEXT C
Roger Rosenblatt's book Black Fiction, in attempting to apply literary rather than sociopolitical criteria to its subject, successfully alters the approach taken by most previous studies. As Rosenblatt notes, criticism of Black writing has often served as a pretext for expounding on Black history. Addison Gayle's recent work, for example, judges the value of Black fiction by overtly political standards, rating each work according to the notions of Black identity which it propounds.
Although fiction assuredly springs from political circumstances, its authors react to those circumstances in ways other than ideological, and talking about novels and stories primarily as instruments of ideology circumvents much of the fictional enterprise. Rosenblatt's lit
erary analysis discloses affinities and connections among works of Black fiction which solely political studies have overlooked or ignored.
Writing acceptable criticism of Black fiction, however, presupposes giving satisfactory answers to a number of questions. First of all, is there a sufficient reason, other than the facial identity of the authors, to group together works by Black authors?
Second, how does Black fiction make itself distinct from other modern fiction with which it is largely contemporaneous? Rosenblatt shows that Black fiction constitutes a distinct body of writing that has an identifiable, coherent literary tradition. Looking at novels written by Black over the last eighty years, he discovers recurring concerns and designs independent of chronology. These structures are thematic, and they spring, not surprisingly, from the central fact that the Black characters in these novels exist in a predominantly white culture, whether they try to conform to that culture or rebel against it.
Black Fiction does leave some aesthetic questions open. Rosenblatt's thematic analysis permits considerable objectivity; he even explicitly states that it is not his intention to judge the merit of the various works? Yet his reluctance seems misplaced, especially since an attempt to appraise might have led to interesting results. For instance, some of the novels appear to be structurally diffuse. Is this a defect, or are the authors working out of, or trying to forge, a different kind of aesthetic? In addition, the style of some Black novels, like Jean Toomey's Cane, verges on expressionism or surrealism; does this technique provide a counterpoint to the prevalent theme that portrays the fate against which Black heroes are pitted, a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression? In spite of such omissions, what Rosenblatt does include in his discussion makes for an astute and worthwhile study. Black Fiction surveys a wide variety of novels, bringing to our attention in the process some fascinating and little-known works like James Weldon Johnson's Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man. Its argument is tightly constructed, and its forthright, lucid style exemplifies levelheaded and penetrating criticism. 41
The author of the text is primarily concerned with . A、Evaluating the soundness of a work of criticism. B、Comparing various critical approaches to a subject.
C、Discussing the limitations of a particular kind of criticism. D、Summarizing the major points made in a work of criticism. 42
The author of the text believes that Black Fiction would have been improved had Rosenblatt . A、Evaluated more carefully the ideological and historical aspects of Black fiction.
B、Attempted to be more objective in his approach to novels and stories by Black authors. C、Explored in greater detail the recurrent thematic concerns of Black fiction throughout its history.
D、Assessed the relatives literary merit of the novels he analyzes thematically. 43
The author's discussion of Black Fiction can be best described as . A、Pedantic and contentious. B、Critical but admiring. C、Ironic and deprecating.
D、Argumentative but unfocused. 44
The author of the text employs all of the following in the discussion of Rosenblatt's book EXCEPT . A、Rhetorical questions B、Specific examples
C、Comparison and contrast D、Definition of terms 45
The author of the text refers to James Weldon Johnson's Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man most probably in order to . A、point out affinities between Rosenblatt's method of thematic analysis and earlier criticism.
B、clarify the point about expressionistic style made earlier in the passage.
C、qualify the assessment of Rosenblatt's book made in the first paragraph of the passage.
D、give a specific example of one of the accomplishments of Rosenblatt's work.

TEXT D
Bernard Bailyn has recently reinterpreted the early history of the United States by applying new social research findings on the experiences of European migrants. In his reinterpretation, migration becomes the organizing principle for rewriting the history of preindustrial North America. His approach rests on four separate propositions.
The first of these asserts that residents of early modern England moved regularly about their countryside; migrating to the New World was simply a natural spillover. Although at first the colonies held little positive attraction for the English-they would rather have stayed home? By the eighteenth century people increasingly migrated to America because they regarded it as the land of opportunity. Secondly, Bailyn holds that, contrary to the notion that used to flourish in America history textbooks, there was never a typical New World community. For example, the economic and demographic character of early New England towns varied considerably.
Bailyn's third proposition suggest two general patterns prevailing among the many thousands of migrants: one group came as indentured servants; another came to acquire land. Surprisingly, Bailyn suggests that those who recruited indentured servants were the driving forces of transatlantic migration. These colonial entrepreneurs helped determine the social character of people who came to preindustrial North America. At first, thousands of
unskilled laborers were recruited; by the 1730s, however, American employers demanded skilled artisans.
Finally, Bailyn argues that the colonies were a half-civilized hinterland of the European culture system. He is undoubtedly correct to insist that the colonies were part of an Anglo-American empire. But to divide the empire into English core and colonial periphery, as Bailyn does, devalues the achievements of colonial culture. It is true, as Bailyn claims, that high culture in the colonies never matched that in England. But what of seventeenth-century New England, where the settlers created effective laws, built a distinguished university, and published books?
Bailyn might respond that New England was exceptional. However, the ideas and institutions developed by New England Puritans had powerful effects on North American culture. Although Bailyn goes on to apply his approach to some thousands of indentured servants who migrated just prior to the revolution, he fails to link their experience with the political development of the United States. Evidence presented in his work suggests how we might make such a connection. These indentured servants were treated as slaves for the period during which they had sold their time to American employers. It is not surprising that as soon as they served their time they passed up good wages in the cities and headed west to ensure their personal independence by acquiring land. Thus, it is in the west that a peculiarly American political culture began, among colonists who were suspicious of authority and intensely anti-aristocratic.
46
Which of the following statements about migrants to colonial North America is supported by information in the text?( )
A、larger percentage of migrants to colonial North America came as indentured servants than as free agents interested in acquiring land.
B、Migrants who came to the colonies as indentured servants were more successful at making a livelihood than were farmers and artisans.
C、Migrants to colonial North America were more successful at acquiring their own land during the eighteenth century than during the seventeenth century.
D、By the 1730s, migrants already skilled in a trade were in more demand by American employers than were unskilled laborers. 47
The author of the text states that Bailyn failed to . A、Give sufficient emphasis to the cultural and political interdependence of the colonies and England.
B、Describe carefully how migrants of different ethnic backgrounds preserved their culture in the United States.
C、Take advantage of social research on the experiences of colonists who migrated to colonial North America specifically to acquire land.
D、Relate the experience of the migrants to the political values that eventually shaped the character of the United States. 48
Which of the following best summarizes the author’s evaluation of Bailyn’s fourth proposition?( )
A、It is totally implausible. B、It is partially acceptable. C、It is highly admirable.
D、It is controversial though persuasive. 49
According to the text, Bailyn and the author agree on which of the following statements about the culture of colonial New England?( )
A、High culture in New England never equaled the high culture of England.
B、The cultural achievements of colonial New England have generally been unrecognized by historians.
C、The colonists imitated the high culture of England, and did not develop a culture that was uniquely their own.
D、The southern colonies were greatly influenced by the high culture of New England. 50
The author of the text would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about Bailyn's work?( )
A、Bailyn underestimates the effects of Puritan thought on North American culture. B、Bailyn overemphasizes the economic dependence of the colonies on Great Britain. C、Bailyn’s description of the colonies as part of an Anglo-American empire is misleading and incorrect.
D、Bailyn failed to test his propositions on a specific group of migrants to colonial North America.

“‘It's simply awe-inspiring to consider that this planet, Kepler-452b, has spent 6 billion years in the habitable zone of its star. ’‘That's considerable time and opportunity for life exist on this planet.’ he said. Kepler- 452b is positioned as far from its parent star as Earth is from the sun, completing an orbit in 385 days, compared to Earth's 365-day orbit. At that distance, surface temperature would be suitable for liquid water, a condition to be believed critical for life.”
考虑到这颗开普勒-452b行星已经在其恒星的可居住区呆了60亿年,这简直令人敬畏。”他说:“在这颗行星上有相当长的时间和生命存在的机会。”开普勒-452b的位置与地球与太阳的距离一样远,与地球365天的轨道相比,它在385天内完成了一个轨道的运转。这个距离使表面温度对液态水来说十分适宜,而这一条件被认为是生命的关键。

【关键词】senior managers use intuition;EXCEPT 【主题句】
第3段
First, they intuitively sense when a problem exists. Second, managers rely on intuition to perform well-learned behavior patterns rapidly. This intuition is not arbitrary or irrational, but is based on years of painstaking practice and hands-on experience that build skills. A third function of intuition is to synthesize isolated bits of data and practice into an integrated picture, often in an Aha-experience. Fourth, some managers use intuition as a check on the results of more rational analysis. Most senior executives are familiar with the formal decision analysis models and tools, and those who use such systematic methods for reaching decisions are occasionally leery of solutions suggested by these methods which ru
n counter to their sense of the correct course of action. Finally, managers can use intuition to bypass in-depth analysis and move rapidly to engender a plausible solution.
首先,他们直觉地感觉到有问题存在。第二,管理者依靠直觉快速地执行良好的行为模式。这种直觉不是武断的,也不是非理性的,而是建立在多年的苦练和实践经验的基础上形成的。直觉的第三个功能是将孤立的数据和实践合成一个完整的画面,通常是在Aha体验中。第四,一些管理者用直觉来检验分析结果的合理性。大多数高级管理人员都熟悉正式的决策分析模型和工具,而那些使用这种系统方法来做出决策的人偶尔会对这些方法提出的解决方案心存疑虑,这些解决方案与他们对正确行动方案的感觉背道而驰。最后,管理者可以利用直觉绕过深入的分析,迅速采取行动,提出一个合理的解决方案。

【关键词】 one major difference in behavior;intuition;only formal decision analysis 【主题句】第4段
One of the implications of the intuitive style of executive management is that thinking is inseparable from acting. Since managers often know what is right before they can analyze and explain it, they frequently act first and explain later. Analysis is inextricably tied to action in thinking/acting cycles, in which managers develop thoughts about their companies and organizations not by analyzing a problematic situation and then acting, but by acting and analyzing in close concert.高级管理直觉风格的一个含义是,思考与行动密不可分。由

Innovation-driven development is essential to sustained growth of the world economy. What we are seeing is a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. It has reached a historic juncture when major breakthroughs are within sight. Countries need to step up cooperation in innovation. We need to facilitate
integration of science and technology with economic growth, and increase the sharing of innovation results. We need to remove barriers that hamper the flow of knowledge, technology, talents and other factors of innovation, and support our businesses in
technical exchanges and cooperation on their own accord. This is a way to unleash the potential for innovation. And, to benefit mankind with the better use of knowledge, we need to tighten the protection of intellectual property. The least desirable is for us to stifle the flow of knowledge, or to create or even widen the technology divide among us. 52
“赢家”和“输家”有很多含义。当我们称一个人为赢家时,并非意味着他使别人一败涂地。我们口中所谓的赢家是指,无论作为个人还是社会的一员,都能够真实表现出守信、可靠、负责、真诚的可贵品质。
赢家不会置身于一种概念,去想像他们“理当”成为何种人;相反,他们按人性行事。因此,他们不会费神地装模作样,故作姿态,玩弄他人。他们很清楚爱与装爱、傻与装傻、真才实学与故作高深之间的区别。赢家们无需用面具掩饰自己。
赢家们不惧怕作独立思考和运用自身的知识。他们既懂得区分事实与想法,又不会装作通晓一切。他们倾听他人意见,品评他人言论,从而得出自己的结论。赢家们懂得尊重和敬佩他人,但却不会完全为他人所限制、摧垮、束缚或吓倒。
赢家们不会装作可怜,博取同情;也不会怨天尤人,开脱自己。相反,他们承担生活中自己应尽的责任。
