This encounter re- appeared in a BBC's program recently.At the time of their meeting, Owusu was on free school meals, living on a public estate in Brixton,south London, where he and his sister were being raised by their mother Rose, a struggling hairdresser.Now 57, Owusu looks remarkably similar even with a graying beard. But his life has been transformed. The father of three is a human resources director, and the first black captain of the Addington golf(高尔夫球) club in its 110- year history. As a black guy, it is about breaking the glass ceiling. Speaking in its clubhouse, Owusu describes his rise in social status(地位) as a “Thatcherite Journey”. And he says it began by asking the woman herself.“To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed from that sliding- door moment. Something about her connected with me.”Thatcher told Owusu she enjoyed being called the Iron Lady.“I think it's rather a praise, don't you ” she said,“ Because so often people have said to me if you're in your job you've got to be soft and warm and human, but you've got to have a touch of steel(钢铁).” Owusu recalls the moment.“I just remember her eye contact. She was answering me, not the camera. She welcomed the question saying you've got to be tough in this world. And that stuck with me.”After the show was broadcast, Owusu said he became “a little hero in Brixton for a good three months”. Owusu added,“It all gave me extra confidence. Doors might not have opened so quickly. It was one of those key moments to make you do things maybe you wouldn't otherwise have done.”13. What do we know about Owusu when he was 13 A. He met with Thatcher twice. B. He joined a famous golf club.C. He hosted a BBC's program. D. He lived at the bottom of society.14. What do the underlined words“sliding-door moment” in paragraph 4 probably mean A. Turning point. B. Social status.C. Important decision. D. Remarkable achievement.15. Based on the text, what made a big difference to Owusu A. Others' treating him equally at work.B. Thatcher's efforts to preserve his identity.C. Others' regarding him as a hero in Brixton.D. Thatcher's faith in the necessity of toughness.16. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text A. The Art of Dialogue B. The Power of ConfidenceC. A Life-changing Meeting D. A Status-improving StoryCThere' re plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables available in local markets. But while those red juicy strawberries look fresh, consumers have no way of knowing how long the fruit can be stored at home. The same goes for distribution(配送) centers and supermarkets.Now, the food technology startup OneThird, located in the Netherlands, is looking to change that with an infrared scanner(红外线扫描仪) that can accurately predict how long fresh fruits and vegetables will last. The startup is named OneThird because one-third of food goes bad every year.The startup's founders were inspired by a UK company that uses this type of technology in the medical field and decided to see if it was applicable for food."I looked at the challenges in the food-supply chain and found out that 40 percent of food waste is fresh produce. One of the biggest causes of waste is that nobody knows shelf life," founder and CEO of OneThird, Marco Snikkers said.Quality investigations at farms and distribution centers are done by hand. An investigator checks the fruits and vegetables and makes notes about the size and quality. Then the food is sent to consumers without considering travel time or how long the produce will remain usable.Using the infrared scanner at the distribution center means that investigators can use the information to approve shipments that will ensure the produce can be distributed on a timely basis.This means that a shipment of soft tomatoes will not be sent long distances away.OneThird's scanner combines the technology of optical(光学的) scanners, image modeling, and Artificial Intelligence to provide accurate shelf-life predictions. The startup found that the technology can reduce up to 25 percent produce waste that was caused by going bad.“Global food waste has an enormous environmental impact; reducing global food waste and promotes global food security,” said Jacob Smith, a climate expert from the University of Maine.17. What problem does OneThird aim to solve A. Inefficient quality checks at distribution centers.B. The high cost of storing fresh fruits and vegetables.C. Food waste caused by uncertainty about its shelf life.D. Consumers' difficulty judging the freshness of produce.18. What inspired OneThird to come up with the idea of using infrared scanner A. The use of the device in another field. B. Observation of the food-supply chain.C . Consumer demands for fresher produce. D. Experts' advice on food waste reduction.19. What can we learn about the hand-operated quality investigations A . They are time-consuming and costly.B. They are not performed at a regular time.C. The check men tend to make wrong judgement.D. The shipping time is not taken into consideration.20. What's Jacob's attitude to OneThird's effort A. Doubtful. B. Approving C. Bearable. D. Indifferent.第二节 (每题2.5分,共12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Have you ever thought about traveling to new places. but you can't afford it If so, consider a work exchange program.

What were good colleges looking for What extracurricular activities gave you the biggest boost toward getting into a“famous” college Where were the scholarships The problem for me was that my family was poor. Even a free New York City high school had become a financial and emotional burden. My grades suffered accordingly. So I hid from my classmates and their discussions of colleges. I stayed away from school for weeks at a time. I went to cheap movies on the Street. I took long walks around the city. But mostly I tried to lose myself in books. I would read in Central Parkif I found myself there. I would read on the subways that took me from Harlem to lower New York and Brooklyn. Books and reading became my life.Somewhere along the way I discovered a unstable balance between the intimacy(亲密) of the books I read and my alienation(疏远) from a world in which I didn't seem to belong. The books which are suggested by my English teacher, were guides to a world I couldn't see but only sensed . But they were excellent guides, at hand day and night, always comforting me.Sometimes, looking back, I am sad because of my grades. I wonder what might have been if my family had not been so poor and if I had not faced so many challenges during those years. I struggled to keep up with my studies. It was a difficult time and I often felt like giving up.注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。P.1: Luckily, my English teacher appeared when I was in the darkness.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________P.2: Studying in my favorite college, I began to pursue my dream for writing.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考答案与解析第一部分 单项选择(共9题)C. distinguish解析:distinguish...from...为固定搭配,意为"区分"B. assumption解析:be predicted on the assumption that... 基于...的假设A. passion解析:have a passion for... 对...有热情,符合句意A. resist解析:rather than 后接动词原形resist,与accept形成反义对比B. blame解析:put the blame on sb 意为"归咎于某人"C. goal解析:achieve goal 实现目标,符合成为医生的语境D. reading, learned解析:动名词作主语,learned作形容词表示"博学的"C. that; that解析:reason后接定语从句用that引导,表语从句用that连接B. touching; moved解析:现在分词touching修饰物,过去分词moved表被动第二部分 阅读理解(共40分)第一节 A篇 10.
