Some Unusual Celebrations
Some holidays are well-known all around the world.Among them are New Year's Eve celebrations. Also
common are days in honor of love and friendship,like Valentine's Day. Each country has its own special holidays,
too,often to mark important events in its history. Schools,banks,and government offices all close on days like
these.__________(46)A few of them are really very strange.
Of course,they are not strange to the people who celebrate them.Perhaps that is because the celebra-
tions have long traditions.Consider April Fool's Day,for example.No one knows when or why it began.Today
it is celebrated in many countries一France,England,and Australia,among others.On this day,people play
practical jokes.___________(47)The ones who laugh are the ones playing the jokes.The people they fool often
get angry.Does celebrating, this day make sense to you?
Dyngus Day in Poland seems strange,too.On this day,it is traditional for boys to pour water over the
heads of girls. Here is the strangest part:They do it to girls they like.
Other unusual celebrations take place in a single city or town. A holiday called La Tomatina is celebrated
in Bunol,Spain一 Every year,in late August,big trucks carry more than 200,000 pounds of tomatoes into this
little town.___________(48)For two hours,people in the streets throw tomatoes at each other. Everyone
ends UP red from head to toe.
August 10 marks the start of the Puck Fair,an Irish festival with a very unusual tradition.People from
the town of Killorglin go up into the mountains and catch a wild goat._________(49)
There are also some celebrations that are really strange.In the United States,sometimes one person gets
an idea for a new holiday and tries to get others to accept it. Whose idea was Public Sleeping Day? That one is
on February 28.It may seem strange,but it sounds like more fun than the one on February 9._________(50)
Do you like the idea of inventing a new holiday?If you do,then you will want to mark March 26 on
your calendar. That is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day.

第2题：
Everybody sleeps,but what people stay up late to catch—or wake up early in order not to miss—varies by culture.From
data collected,it seems the things that cause us to lose the most sleep,on average,are sporting events,time changes,and
holidays.Around the world,people changed sleep patterns thanks to the start or end of daylight savings time.Russians,for
example,began to wake up about a half hour later each day after President Vladimir Putin shifted the country permanently to“winter time”starting on October 26.
Russia’s other late nights and early mornings generally correspond to public holidays.On New Year’s Eve,Russians have the world’s latest bedtime,hitting the hay at around 3:30 am.Russians also get up an hour later on International Women’s
Day,the day for treating and celebrating female relatives.
Similarly,Americans’late nights late mornings,and longest sleeps fall on three-day weekends.Canada got the least sleep of the year the night it beat Sweden in the Olympic hockey final.
The World Cup is also chiefly responsible for sleep deprivation,the worst night for sleep in the U.K.was the night of the
England-Italy match on June 14.Brits stayed up a half-hour later to watch it,and then they woke up earlier than usual the next morning thanks to summer nights,the phenomenon in which the sun barely sets in northern countries in the summertime.That was nothing,though,compared to Germans,Italians,and the French,who stayed up around an hour and a half later on
various days throughout the summer to watch the Cup.
It should be made clear that not everyone has a device to record their sleep patterns,in some of these nations,it’s likely
that only the richest people do.And people who elect to track their sleep may try to get more sleep than the average person.
Even if that’s the case,though,the above findings are still striking,if the most health-conscious among us have such deep
swings in our shut-eye levels throughout the year,how much sleep are the rest of us losing
What do we learn about the Russians regarding sleep 《》（）A.They don’t fall asleep until very late.
B.They don’t sleep much on weekends.
C.They get less sleep on public holidays.
D.They sleep longer than people elsewhere.答案：C解析：本题考查细节理解。
由题干的大写名词Russian定位到第二段和第三段。第二段的“Russian, for example, began to wake up about a half-hour later each day”这一句是干扰句，起得晚不一定睡得早，所以答案推不出“他们比其他地方的人睡得更久”。然后看到第三段“Russia’s other late nights and early mornings generally coincided with public holidays”，所以答案为C综上，C选项正确。 -
第3题：
"He looks normal." That′ s what everybody says when I tell them my son was just diagnosed as autism (孤独症). They all say it without exception.
It′s true. Alejandro does look like every other 31 boy. He plays, he smiles, and he runs around with the two-year-old boy′ s boundless energy until he is too tired. He laughs when you move your fingers 32 on a sensitive part of his body. And he often plays with his toys like every other young child at his age.
But most of the time, Alejandro 33 in his own little world playing with his toys all by himself even in a group of kids and ignoring you when you talk to him loudly. At that time he′s alone, no matter how hard you try to 34 him.
My wife and I get 35 .We ask for "nose kisses" or hugs and many times he doesn′t notice us. It′s extremely anxious when your child′s face is right in front of you and he won′t admit your presence.
He regularly doesn′t eat. The food often bothers him when he puts it in his mouth. He is very small 36 his age. We are told that it′s another effect of the autism.
Because autism isn′t like some other 37 , there is no set treatment. Each child needs to be treated 38 ; what works for one probably doesn′t work for another. Try a treatment. If it doesn′t work, you have to try another39 you hopefully find something that does work.
The future is cloudy, but we will try everything we can do to reach him, because we love him and we know he′s a special little boy. And we believe with the help of love, we can 40 any difficulty.

D.greatly答案：A解析：考查副词辨析。lightly“轻轻地”，secretly“秘密地”，heavily“沉重地”，greatly“非常，大大地”。根据常识，应该是用手轻触孩子身上的敏感部位。故选A。 -

第二篇
Love or Hate?
We have saved as a final set of emotions to two most important emotions connected with other people:love and its opposite,hate.Love can be seen everywhere.Yet surprisingly,love has been the subject of less scientific research than other emotions,such as anger and fear. The reason for this may be two fold.Firstly,love is a very complex emotion,difficult to describe and measure. Secondly,unlike many radical emotions,radical love is generally not a problem. Thus less medical attention has been paid to it.
What is love?This is a complex question and requires a complex answer. Love is a strong,positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing. But it is more than this.It also involves feeling of caring,protection,excitement,and tenderness.When two people are in love,they feel drawn to one another;they greatly enjoy each other's company;and they may be sexually attracted to one another.
Sometimes it is easier to think in terms of different kinds of love:romantic love,brotherly love, and so forth.Though they are different in some respects,they share one important characteristic: a strong positive feeling toward another.
Our feelings toward other people are often complex.We may love someone and,at the same time,be angry with him.Or we may love someone,even though we are jealous of him.We mighi even love someone and,at the same time,hate for some precise reason.
Hate is a strong negative emotion toward someone,and is due to anger,jealousy,or some other factor. Like love,hate can be a very strong emotion.It can also be very dangerous.The question is often asked,"Is it bad to hate?"The best answer is probably" sometimes yes and sometimes no." Usually hate does not help us.It makes us feel unhappy and makes us do things that may hurt others.However,sometimes it may be necessary to hate and hurt someone in order to protect loved ones.Which of the following is true?
A:Love has been the subject of less scientific research because it is too simple an emotion.
B:Radical love is so difficult to describe and measure that less medical attention has been paid to it.
C:To hate is always too bad.
D:We can have at the same time two opposite feelings for another.答案：D解析：save的含义有“挽救，储存，保留，解放”。根据文章第一段的上下文我们知道作者是说我们往往把情感中最后的部分保留给和他人相关的最重要的两种感情，因此选择选项A。 keep up是指“保持”，不符合上下文。
文章提到爱是positive feeling，而恨是negative feeling，因此两者是完全对立的情感。并且第一段第一句就讲到了爱的反面是恨，因此选项D是正确的。
文章第三段最后一句总结道无论哪种类型的爱，它们共同的特点是“a strong positive feeling toward another"，即讨另一个对象强烈的积极的感情。因此只有选项B是正确的。
文章最后一段第一句讲到恨是由于“anger, jealousy, or some other factor”造成的，因此选项A是正确的。选项C列举的是构成爱的因素，选项D不应该说恨是积极的情感。
文章第四段解释人类的感情是复杂的，不是单一的，我们可以对他人同时怀有不同种类的感情。因此选项D是正确的。选项A, “too simple an emotion”错误，第一段说对爱的研究较少有两个原因：首先是，爱是非常复杂的感情，很难描述和衡量。其次，强热的爱并不是个问题。选项B不正确，“强烈的爱很难描述和衡量”和“很少的药物治疗”之间并无因果关系。很少药物治疗的原因应该是强烈的爱并不是个问题。选项C的描述也不正确，作者认为恨有时也是好的。 -

Semco
At 21,Ricardo Semler became boss of his father's business in Brazil,Semco,which sold parts for ships.
Semler Junior worked like a madman,from 7:30 a. m.until midnight every day.One afternoon,while touring
a factory in New York,he collapsed.The doctor who treated him said,"There's nothing wrong with you.But if
you continue like this,you'll find a new home in our hospital."Semler got the message.He changed the way
he worked.In fact,he changed the ways his employees worked too.
He let his workers take more responsibility so that they would be the ones worrying when things went
wrong. He allowed them to set their own salaries,and he cut all the jobs he thouuht were unnecessary.like
receptionists and secretaries._______(46)"Everyone at Semco,even top managers,meets guests in
reception,does the photocopying,sends faxes,types letters and dials the phone."
He completely reorganized the office:instead of walls,they have plants at Semco,so bosses can't shut
themselves away from everyone else._________(47)As for uniforms,some people wear suits and others wear
T-shirts.
Semler says,"We have a sales manager named Rubin Agater who sits there reading the newspaper hour
after hour. He doesn't even pretend to be busy.But when a Semco pump on the other side of the world fails
and millions of gallons of oil is about to spill into the sea,Rubin springs into action._________(48)That's
when he earns his salary.No one cares if he doesn't look busy the rest of the time."
Semco has flexible working hours;the employees decide when they need to arrive at work.The
employees also evaluate their bosses twice a year._________(49)
It sounds perfect,but does it work?The answer is in the numbers:in the last six years,Semco's revenues
have gone from $35 million to $212 million.The company has grown from 800 employees to 3,000.Why?
Semler says it's because of"peer pressure".Peer pressure makes everyone work hard for everyone else.
__________(50)In other words,Ricardo Semler treats his workers like adults and expects them to act like
adults.And they do.__________（50）
A:If somone isn't doing his job well,the other workers will not allow the situation to continue.
B:This saved money and brought more equality to the company.
C:And the workers are free to decorate their workspace as they want.
D:He knows everything there is to know about our pumps and how to fix them.
E:Most managers spend their time making it difficult for workers to work.
F:Also,Semco lets its workers use the company's machines for their own projects,and makes them take holidays for at least thirty days a year.答案：A解析：该空格前一句提到Semler撤销了一些非必需的工作岗位，例如秘书和接待员，而后一 句应说明这样做的好处：既经济又平等，即B选项的内容。
该段主要讲的是办公室结构的变化，例如老板和员工的办公室都是用植物隔开的，还 提到了员工的着装也比较自由，因此这里选C较为合适，即员工可以随心所欲地装饰他们自己的办公室。
该段以负责公司油泵维修的Ruhin Agater为例米作说明。该空前一句提到公司的油泵 (pump）出问题的话Rubin Agater会马上采取行动，故推测他是这方面的专家，因此该题选D。
该段第一句说明公司在工作时间方面具有灵活性，员工可以自己决定几点来上班。只 有F项的内容（允许员工使用公司的机器来做自己的项目，而且员工每年至少有三十天的假 期）和这一思路吻合。
该段前两句中提到Semler说这源自同事的压力，它让每一个员工为其他员工努力工 作。因此选A。第6部分：完形填空 -

E:If someone isn't doing his job well,the other workers will not allow the situation to continue.
F: Also,Semco lets its workers use the company's machines for their own projects,and makes them take holidays for at least thirty days a year.答案：B解析：空格前一句是对“save money”的例证，后一句是对“equality”的例证，恰好可以作为A 项所述内容的例证。
本段主要讲Semler如何改造公司的外表，而选项中只有C提到这方面的内容，“员工可 以随意装饰自己的工作空间”放在这里是和前后两句话的并列。因此选C。
上一句说到“但如果Semco在地球另一端的油泵坏了，上百万加仑的油即将注人大海 时，Robin就会立刻跳起来行动”，下一句需要进行解释。因此选项B“他了解关于我们公司油泵的任何事情，并能修理”最符合题目要求。
这一段讲述了Semco给予员工的自由，而选项中只有F项“Semco也允许员工用公司的 机器做自己的项目，并且一年至少能休假30天”与此内容相关，因此选F。

第9题：
True Friendship-Recognition How can we find true friendship in this often phony， temporary world？ Friendship involves recognition or familiarity with another's personality. Friends often share likes and dislikes， interests， pursuits， and passion. How can we recognize potential friendship？ Signs include a mutual desire for companionship and perhaps a common bond of some kind. Beyond that， genuine friendship involves a shared sense of caring and concern， a desire to see one another grow and develop， and a hope for each other to succeed in all aspects of life. True friendship involves action： doing something for someone else while expecting nothing in return； sharing thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement or negative criticism. True Friendship-Relationship， Trust， Accountability True friendship involves relationship. Those mutual attributes we mentioned above become the foundation in which recognition transpires into relationship. Many people say， "Oh， he's a good friend of mine，" yet they never take time to spend time with that "good friend. "Friendship takes time： time to get to know each other， time to build shared memories， time to invest in each other's growth. Trust is essential to true friendship. We all need someone with whom we can share our lives， thoughts， feelings， and frustrations. We need to be able to share our deepest secrets with someone， without worrying that those secrets will end up on the Internet the next day! Failing to be trustworthy with those intimate secrets can destroy a friendship in a hurry. Faithfulness and loyalty are keys to true friendship. Without them， we often feel betrayed， left out， and lonely. In true friendship， there is no backbiting， no negative thoughts ，no turning away. True friendship requires certain accountability factors. Real friends encourage one another and forgive one another where there has been an offense. Genuine friendship supports during times of struggle. Friends are dependable. In true friendship， unconditional love develops. We love our friends no matter what and we always want the best for our friends. Sometimes we need to be alone.（）

第12题：
单选题True Friendship-Recognition How can we find true friendship in this often phony， temporary world？ Friendship involves recognition or familiarity with another's personality. Friends often share likes and dislikes， interests， pursuits， and passion. How can we recognize potential friendship？ Signs include a mutual desire for companionship and perhaps a common bond of some kind. Beyond that， genuine friendship involves a shared sense of caring and concern， a desire to see one another grow and develop， and a hope for each other to succeed in all aspects of life. True friendship involves action： doing something for someone else while expecting nothing in return； sharing thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement or negative criticism. True Friendship-Relationship， Trust， Accountability True friendship involves relationship. Those mutual attributes we mentioned above become the foundation in which recognition transpires into relationship. Many people say， "Oh， he's a good friend of mine，" yet they never take time to spend time with that "good friend. "Friendship takes time： time to get to know each other， time to build shared memories， time to invest in each other's growth. Trust is essential to true friendship. We all need someone with whom we can share our lives， thoughts， feelings， and frustrations. We need to be able to share our deepest secrets with someone， without worrying that those secrets will end up on the Internet the next day! Failing to be trustworthy with those intimate secrets can destroy a friendship in a hurry. Faithfulness and loyalty are keys to true friendship. Without them， we often feel betrayed， left out， and lonely. In true friendship， there is no backbiting， no negative thoughts ，no turning away. True friendship requires certain accountability factors. Real friends encourage one another and forgive one another where there has been an offense. Genuine friendship supports during times of struggle. Friends are dependable. In true friendship， unconditional love develops. We love our friends no matter what and we always want the best for our friends. True friends must have common interests.（）ATrue

Semco
At 21,Ricardo Semler became boss of his father's business in Brazil,Semco,which sold parts for ships.
Semler Junior worked like a madman,from 7:30 a. m.until midnight every day.One afternoon,while touring
a factory in New York,he collapsed.The doctor who treated him said,"There's nothing wrong with you.But
if you continue like this,you'll find a new home in our hospital." Semler got the message.He changed the
way he worked.In fact,he changed the way his employees worked too.
He let his workers take more responsibility so that they would be the ones worrying when things went
wrong. He allowed them to set their own salaries,and he cut all the jobs he thought were unnecessary,like re--
ceptionists and secretaries._______________ (46)"Everyone at Semco,even top managers,meets guests in recep-
tion,does the photocopying,sends faxes,types letters and dials the phone."
He completely reorganized the office:instead of walls,they have plants at Semco,so bosses can't shut
themselves away from everyone else._______________ (47)As for uniforms,some people wear suits and others
wear T-shirts.
Semler says,"We have a sales manager named Rubin Agater who sits there reading the newspaper hour
after hour. He doesn't even pretend to be busy.But when a Semco pump on the other side of the world fails
and millions of gallons of oil are about to spill into the sea,Rubin springs into action.______________(48)
That's when he earns his salary. No one cares if he doesn't look busy the rest of the time."
Semco has flexible working hours;the employees decide when they need to arrive at work.The employees
also evaluate their bosses twice a year.______________ (49)
It sounds perfect,but does it work?The answer is in the numbers:in the last six years,Semco's revenues
have gone from$35 million to $212 million.The company has grown from eight hundred employees to
3,000.Why?
Semler says it's because of"peer pressure".Peer pressure makes employees work hard for everyone
else._______________ (50)In other words,Ricardo Semler treats his workers like adults and expects them to act
like adults.And they do.__________（47）
A:This saved money and brought more equality to the company.
B:He knows everything there is to know about our pumps and how to fix them.
C:And the workers are free to decorate their workspace as they want.
D:Most managers spend their time making it difficult for workers to work.
E:If someone isn't doing his job well,the other workers will not allow the situation to continue.
F: Also,Semco lets its workers use the company's machines for their own projects,and makes them take holidays for at least thirty days a year.答案：C解析：上一句说到“他允许他们自己制定薪水，并削减他认为不必要的像接待员和秘书这样 的工作”，此处应该解释这种做法的原因。选项A说明“这样可以减少开支，并给公司带来更 多平等”，与上下文联系最紧密。
本段主要讲Semler如何重新布置公司，而选项中只有C项提到这方面的内容，且放在 这里和前后两句话并列。
上一句说到“但如果Semco在地球另一端的油泵坏了，上百万加仑的油即将注入大海 时，Robin就会立刻跳起来行动”，这一句需要说明Robin怎样行动，因此选项B“他了解关于我 们公司油泵的任何事情，并能修理”最符合题目要求。
这一段讲述了Semco给予员工的自由，而选项中只有F项“Semco也允许员工用公司的机器做自己的项目，并且一年至少能休假30天”与此内容相关，因此选F。
上一句说到同事的压力让员工努力为他人工作，这一句应具体解释这种压力如何发挥 作用，因此选E。第6部分：完形填空 -

Batteries Built by Viruses
What do chicken pox,the common cold,the flu,and AIDS have in common?They're all diseases caused by viruses,tiny microorganisms that can pass from person to person. It's no wonder that when most people think about viruses,finding ways to steer clear of viruses is what's on people's minds.
Not everyone runs from the tiny disease carriers,though. In Cambridge,Massachu- setts,scientists have discovered that some viruses can be helpful in an unusual way. They are putting viruses to work,teaching them to build some of the world's smallest rechargeable batteries.
Viruses and batteries may seem like an unusual pair,but they're not so strange for engi-neer Angela Beicher,who first came up with the idea. At the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology(MIT)in Cambridge,she and her collaborators bring together different areas of science in new ways.In the case of the virus-built batteries,the scientists combine what they know about biology,technology and production techniques.
Beicher's team includes Paula Hammond,who helps put together the tiny batteries,and
Yet-Ming Chiang,an expert on how to store energy in the form of a battery.“We're working on things we traditionally don't associate with nature，”says Hammond.
Many batteries are already pretty small. You can hold A,C and D batteries in your hand. The coin-like batteries that power watches are often smaller than a penny. However, every year,new electronic devices like personal music players or cell phones get smaller than the year before. As these devices shrink,ordinary batteries won't be small enough to fit in-side.
The ideal battery will store a lot of energy in a small package. Right now,Belcher's model battery,a metallic disk completely built by viruses,looks like a regular watch battery. But inside,its components are very small一so tiny you can only see them with a powerful microscope.
How small are these battery parts?To get some idea of the size,pluck one hair from your head. Place your hair on a piece of white paper and try to see how wide your hair is一 pretty thin,right?Although the width of each person's hair is a bit different,you could probably fit about 10 of these virus-built battery parts,side to side,across one hair. These micro-batteries may change the way we look at viruses.How tiny is one battery part?
A: Its width is one tenth of a hair.
B: It equals the width of a hair.
C: It is as thin as a piece of paper.
D: Its width is too tiny to measure.答案：A解析：题干意为“根据第一段的内容来看，人们试图……”。利用题干及备选项中的细节信息词/短语people , microorganisms , chicken pox , flu , various diseases , virus-related diseases , medicines作为定位线索，在第一段中找到相关句：What do chicken pox, the com-mon cold,the flu，and AIDS have in common?They're all diseases caused by viruses（与vi-rus-related diseases呼应）,tiny microorganisms that can pass from person to person. It's no wonder that when most people think about viruses,finding ways to steer clear of viruses is what's on people's minds．第一段第二句提到“这些都是由病毒引起的疾病”，这说明病毒会引起疾病。第三句提到“难怪大部分人一提到病毒，首先想到的是如何躲避病毒”，这说明因为病毒会引起疾病，所以人们都想尽力避开病毒，因此C项“因为病毒会造成各种疾病所以躲避病毒”是答案。虽然选项B也提到了躲避病毒，但是选项B后半句中提到的躲避的原因是因为病毒是看不见的，这在短文中没有提到，因此选项B属于“无中生有”的干扰项。提示：备选项中只要一部分信息在短文中没有被提及，该选项也属于“无中生有”的干扰项；备选项中只要有一部分信息与短文中的相关信息不一致，则该选项陈述的信息与短文信息不一致。
题干意为“Beicher所在的小组现在在做什么？”利用题干及备选项中的细节信息词/短语Belcher's team , at present , ways , mass-producing micro-batteries , virus genes作为定位线索，在第二段和第三段中找到相关句：（第二段）Not everyone runs from the tiny dis-ease carriers,though. In Cambridge,Massachusetts,scientists have discovered that some vi-ruses can be helpful in an unusual way.They are putting viruses to work, teachiig them to build some if the world's smallest rechargeable batteries.（第三段）Viruses and batteries may seem like an unusual pair,but they're not so strange for engineer Angela Belcher,who first came up with the idea．At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)in Cambridge, she and her collaborators（与Belcher's team呼应）bring together different areas of science in new ways. In the case of the virus-built batteries,the scientists combine what they know a-bout biology, technology and production techniques．定位线索词集中出现在第三段中，该段第一句提到“病毒和电池的搭档似乎并不常见，但这对于工程师Belcher来说却并不陌生。她最先产生了这一想法”。该句中提到的“这一想法”回指上文（第二段）中提到的putting viru-ses to work,teaching them to build some of the world's smallest rechargeable batteries，即用病毒制造世界上最小的充电电池。由此可知C项“用病毒制造电池”是答案。
题干意为“下列哪个选项的词义与第五段中shrink的词义相反？”该题属于词汇题。首先找到shrink在短文中所在的语境，并依据该语境判断出shrink的词义是“收缩”，也就是“缩小”，因此它的反义词是expand“增大，扩张”。所以答案为D。
题干意为“第六段中关于Belcher所研制的电池的陈述哪个正确？”利用题干及选项中的细节信息词/短语Belcher's battery, metal, watch battery, microscope, metallic disk作为定位线索，在第六段中找到相关句：The ideal battery will store a lot of energy in a small package. Right now，Belcher's model battery,a metallic disk completely built by viru-ses,looks like a regular watch battery. But inside,its components are very small一so tiny you can only see them with a powerful microscope．定位线索词集中出现在第六段第二句中，该句意为“Belcher的电池模型是完全由病毒构成的金属圆盘，看起来就像普通的手表电池”。显然，B项“它是一种手表电池”与短文意思不一致：短文中出现的手表电池是用作比较，而不是说Belcher 的电池模型是手表电池。该句意思与D项“它是一种金属圆盘，里面有病毒”一致，因此D是答案。C项“它只能在显微镜下才能看见”，这与第六段最后一句意思不一致：第六段最后一句提到“电池里面的部件很小―小到用高倍显微镜才能看到”，这是在讲述电池部件的情况，并非说电池也需要用显微镜才能看见，因此选项D陈述的信息与短文内容不一致。 -
第17题：
Text l If comfortably outpacing your rivals is the main measure of automotive achievement,Tesla's electric car is a resounding success.The Model S last year outsold its nearest luxury rival,Mercedes's petrol-engined S-class,by 30qo in America.And in its top specification the Tesla will also beat the Cerman car in the race from 0-60mph.As a battery-maker Tesla is also moving fast.This week it announced plans to build a"gigafactory"in America to make lithium-ion power-packs,that it hopes will propel its vehicles to the mainstream.Tesla's acceleration has been rapid.Launched a decade ago by Elon Musk,a founder of PayPal and serial tech entrepreneur,last year it sold around 22,000 cars and by the end of 2014 hopes to be making l,000 a week.In early 2015 Tesla will add the Model X,a medium-sized SUV,to its range.However,Tesla's impressive growth has not yet tranalaLed into significant profits.A series of b8ttery fires also briefly dented sales growth last year.Nevertheless,Tesla's shares surged on February 25th,to value the company at over$30 billion after Morgan Stanley,a bank,joined its adoring fans.It reckons that the battery factory will not only propel it along the road to mass manufacturing but also make it a leading competitor in low-cost enerOr storage,Lhe key to making renewable energy more practical.The bank is also confident that Tesla's Silicon Valley location will put it in the driverless front seat of autonomous motoring.A recent meeting with Apple,and the iPad-like control panel of the Model S,have convinced some ob~servers that a takeover-and an iCar are around the corner,although Mr Musk insists that his firm is not for sale.Tesla has defied its doubters with the success of the Model S,a smartly styled luxury car.It may not share the outrageous looks of a supercar like the Lamborghini Aventador,but it has the performance without the$400,OOO-plus price tag.The most basic Model S costs$64,000 in America.This has won it rave reviews in the motoring press,often sniffy about other electric cars with limited ranges and duff looks.By designing a large car wiLh a big battery pack,Tesla has diminished"range anxiety"-one version can d0 310 nules（500km）between charges.
According to the first paragraph,Tesla is____A.a luxury car brand that beats all its rivals
B.a car-maker that aims at high-end customers
C.a battery-maker that has become mainstream
D.an electric car brand that also produces battery答案：D解析：细节题。定位到第一段。该段第二行提到luxury-词，但是指的是Mercedes．并不是Tesla．故选项[A]的luxury car brand表述不当，而beats all its rivals更是过度夸大，故选项[A]是错误的。而选项[B）的high-end customers“高端客户”更是无中生有。选项[c]的b8ttery-maker只是Tesla的部分业务，而且has become mainstream“已经成为主流”也与原文不符，故该项错误。只有[D]项的an electric car brand that also produces battery“同时生产电池的电动跑车品牌”能够概括Tesla，分别对应该段第二行的Tesla's electric car和第四行的As a battery-m8ker Tesla is also moving fast.故答案为[D）。 -

Some Unusual Celebrations
Some holidays are well-known all around the world.Among them are New Year's Eve celebrations.Also common are days in honor of love and friendship,like Valentine's Day.Each country has its own special holidays,too,often to mark important events in its history.
Schools,banks,and government offices all close on days like these.______(1)A few of them are really very strange.
Of course,they are not strange to the people who celebrate them.Perhaps that is because the celebrations have long traditions.Consider April Fool's Day,for example.No one knows when or why it began.Today it is celebrated in many countries一France,England,and Australia,among others.On this day,people play practical jokes.______(2)The ones who laugh are the ones playing the jokes.The people they fool often get angry.Does celebrating this day make sense to you?
Dyngus Day in Poland seems strange,too.On this day,it is traditional for boys to pour water over the heads of girls.Here is the strangest part:They do it to girls they like.
Other unusual celebrations take place in a single city or town.A holiday called La Tomatina is celebrated in Buriol,Spain.Every year,in late August,big trucks carry more than 200, 000 pounds of tomatoes into this little town.______(3)For two hours,people in the streets throw tomatoes at each other.Everyone ends up red from head to toe.
August 10 marks the start of the Puck Fair,an Irish festival with a very unusual tradition.People from the town of Killorglin go up into the mountains and catch a wild goat. ______(4)
There are also some celebrations that are really strange.In the United States,sometimes
one person gets an idea for a new holiday and tries to get others to accept it.Whose idea was Public Sleeping Day? That one is on February 28.It may seem strange,but it sounds like more fun than the one on February 9.______(5)
Do you like the idea of inventing a new holiday?If you do,then you will want to mark
March 26 on your calendar.That is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day.______(3)
A:They bring him back to town,put a crown on his head,and make him king for three days.
B:Some of the days people celebrate,however,are less serious.
C:That is supposed to be Toothache Day.
D:Then begins the world's biggest food fight.
E:Some people have fun imagining new holidays.
F:Jokes are supposed to be funny,but these jokes do not make everyone laugh.答案：D解析：the days（天，节日；复数），带有定冠词说明其上一句应该有该词出现。how-ever（然而；表示转折），说明此句与其上一句是转折关系。less serious（不那么严肃），说明其上一句应该属于正常或严肃的事情。空白处所在句子为，“学校、银行和政府机构都在这样的节日中停休。”“其中有些天又非常奇怪。”很明显应补入B项。
but（可是，但是）承上启下，转折。these jokes（这些恶作剧），说明前一句肯定有jokes（玩笑）这个词。not...laugh（不……笑），说明下一句一定会是“哭”或“生气”。文中说“这一天，人们开着戏弄人的玩笑。”“发笑的人是开玩笑的人，而被戏弄的人往往会很生气。”很明显应补入F项。
Then(然后，接着），起承上启下作用。（应注意：该词引导的是一个全倒装句，“the world's biggest food fight”是主语，“begins”是谓语）。the world's biggest food fight 中的food（食物）非常重要，说明其前一句中肯定有“食物”这类词。文中说：“每年的八月末，大卡车载着二十多万磅的西红柿进入这个小镇。”很明显应补入D项。
They（他们；指人，复数）；him（他；指人或动物）。文中说，“Killorglin城的人们上山抓了一只野山羊。”很明显应补入A项。
That（这一或那一），代词，指代前一句中的某个名词。Toothache Day（牙痛日），说明其前一句一定会有“某月某日”，才能定为（大写的）……日。空白处50的前一句：“似乎很奇怪，可是听起来比这更有趣的是2月9日。”很明显应该补入C项。 -
