Howard Schultz wasn’t the first person to be carried away by the pleasant smell of a well-roasted coffee bean. But the Starbucks Coffee Co. leader was undoubtedly the first to turn that dream into a billion dollar retail business.

Schultz’s adventure started in 1981 when he traveled from New York to Seattle to check out a popular coffee bean store called “Starbucks”. It had been buying many of the Hammarplast  Swedish drip coffeemakers (滴滤式煮咖啡壶) he was selling.

There was that great smell, sure, but what caused him to fall in love with the business was the care the Starbucks owners put into choosing and roasting the beans. He was also impressed with the owners’ devotion to educating the public about the wonders of the coffee.

It took Schultz a year to convince the Starbucks owners to hire him. When they finally made him director of marketing and operations in 1982, he had another idea. This one occurred in Italy, when Schultz noticed the coffee bars that existed on almost every block. He learned that they not only served excellent espressos (蒸馏咖啡), they also served as meeting places or public squares, and there were 200,000 of them in the country.

But when he came back to Seattle, the Starbucks owners resisted Schultz’s plans to serve coffee in the stores, saying the restaurant business was competitive, and it was costly to hire waiters. After all, economic benefits were their primary motivator. Frustrated, Schultz quit and started his own coffee-bar business in 1985, named “II Giornale”. It was successful, and two years later, the original Starbucks management sold its Starbucks retail unit to Schultz for $3.8 million.

As the company began to expand rapidly in the 1990s, Schultz always said that the main goal was “to serve a great cup of coffee”. Asked about the secret of his success, Schultz told us the principles: “Don’t be threatened by people smarter than you. Compromise anything but your core values.”

24. What caused Schultz to join the Starbucks?

A. The pleasant smell of its coffee bean. B. His strong desire to improve himself.

C The owners’ impressive work attitude. D. His eagerness to sell more coffeemakers.

25. Which of the following can best describe Schultz’s personality?

A. Committed and generous. B. Sociable and helpful.

C. Motivated and considerate. D. Determined and creative.

26. Why did the Starbucks owners refuse to serve coffee in the stores?

A. Many coffee bars had existed in Seattle.

B. People preferred tasting coffee at home.

C. Workforce was insufficient in the market.

D. They tried to avoid high cost of labor force.

27. What does Schultz think contributes to his success?

A. Learning from smarter people. B. Sticking to his own core values.

C. Keeping his business a secret. D. Remembering a set of principles.

C

I need a new phone. Like many of us with older model iPhones, my battery life is just a few hours and I’ve stopped updating the operating system to extend the phone’s life. But I’m having a tough time making the final decision. It’s not the cost. It’s not the inconvenience either. It’s the environment.

Making smartphones, laptops, and other tech products takes a lot of resources. This is partly due to the carbon emissions from the producing process. Still, the most negative impact comes from the mining of the rare earth metals that make your phone work. If you’re reading this on your phone right now, you’re holding about 0.034 grams of gold, 0.34 grams of silver, and smaller amounts of other rare elements. These are tiny amounts, but consider the demand for smartphones around the world.

All of these rare elements have to be mined from inside the Earth, in places like China and some African countries. Mining is hugely environmentally destructive: forests are destroyed, the ground is disturbed, and water quality in the area takes a dive.

Now take these environmental risks, and combine them with the fact that the average lifespan (使用寿命) of a smartphone is just two years, the length of your contract with your cell phone company. After that, if you’re lucky, you get a “free” upgrade. Awesome, right? Sure, if you ignore the fact that the environmental impact of a new phone is about the same as using your old one for a decade.

It’s nearly impossible to live in the 21st century without contributing to the destruction of the environment and climate change. I am guilty as well — eat meat and occasionally fly. But that doesn’t mean that we should stop trying to do better, or ignore the consequences of our actions. I urge you to think carefully about your next smartphone purchase no matter what those Black Friday ads may be trying to tell you.

28. What does the author’s final decision refer to?

A. Going ahead with getting a new phone.

B. Taking action to help reduce pollution.

C. Updating your phone’s operating system.

D. Raising money for anew smartphone.

29. Why does the author list specific numbers in paragraph 2?

A. To reveal the consequences of making smartphones.

B. To analyze the causes of making new smartphones.

C. To emphasize the huge demand for smartphones.

D. To provide solutions to cutting smartphone use.

30. What message does the author convey in paragraph 4?

A. It is economical to upgrade your device.

B. The lifespan of smartphones is narrowed.

C. The upgrade comes at the expense of the environment.

D. Signing a contract spares users from economic pressure.

31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To push for environmentally friendly smartphones.

B. To discourage businesses from making smartphones.

C. To advise readers not to change smartphones often.

D. To demonstrate the negative effects of smartphones.

D

Experts used to believe that people assess risk like actuaries (精算师), figuring out cost-benefit analyses every time a car came too close or local crime rates rose. But a wave of psychological experiments in the1980s denied this thinking.

Researchers found that people use a set of mental shortcuts for measuring danger. And they tend to do it unconsciously, meaning that instinct (直觉) can play a much larger role than they realize. Ideally, these shortcuts help people figure out which ones to worry about and which to disregard. But they can be imperfect.

When you encounter a potential risk, your brain does a quick search for past experiences with it. If it can easily pull up multiple alarming memories, then your brain concludes the danger is high. But it often fails to assess whether those memories are truly representative.

A classic example is airplane crashes. If two happen continuously, flying suddenly feels scarier—even if your conscious mind knows that those crashes are a statistical aberration (统计异常)with little influence on the safety of your next flight. But if you then take a few flights and nothing goes wrong, your brain will most likely start telling you again that flying is safe.

That tendency can cut in both directions, leading to either alarm or complacency (自大). Though flu kills tens of thousands of Americans every year, most peoples’ experiences with it are relatively ordinary. “We’re conditioned by our experiences,” said Paul Slovic, a University of Oregon psychologist. “But experience can mislead us to be too comfortable with things. We are also conditioned to focus heavily on new threats, looking for any cause for alarm. ”

Maybe the most powerful shortcut of all is emotion. Our brains translate emotional reactions into what we believe are reasoned conclusions, even if hard data tells us otherwise. The world in our heads is not a precise copy of reality. Our expectations about frequency of events are misinterpreted by the popularity and emotional intensity of the messages to which we are exposed.

32. What does the underlined word “disregard” in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Fear. B. Ignore. C. Support. D. Prevent.

33. Why does the author give an example of airplane crashes?

A To demonstrate how to take a shortcut.

B. To emphasize the importance of experience.

C. To prove people are good at measuring risks.

D. To explain memories can be misleading.

34. What makes mental shortcut imperfect?

A. Representative memories. B. Reasoned conclusions.

C. Scary reports. D. Misinterpreted messages.

35. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A. How we stick to our beliefs B. How our brains evaluate threat

C. How our past experiences shape us D. How we make our best choices

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Fitness tracking devices often recommend we take 10,000 steps a day. But the goal of taking 10,000 steps is not, as many of us believe, rooted in science. ____36____

The 10,000-steps target became popular in Japan in the 1960s. A clock maker, hoping to benefit from interest in fitness after the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games, mass-produced a pedometer (计步器) with a name that, when written in Japanese characters, resembled a walking man. ____37____ Therefore, it created a walking aim that, through the decades, somehow got planted in our global consciousness — and fitness trackers.

But today’s best science suggests we do not need to take 10,000steps a day. ____38____ In that study, people who walked for about 8,000 steps a day were half as likely to die prematurely (过早地) from heart disease or any other cause as those who had 4,000 steps a day. ____39____ The extra steps did not provide much additional protection against dying young, either.

 ____40____ If, like many people, we currently take about 5,000 steps a day during the course of everyday activities like shopping and housework, adding the extra 2,000 to3,000 steps would take us to a total of between 7,000 and 8,000 steps most days, which seems to be the step-count sweet spot.

A. It also translated as “10,000-steps meter”.

B. Really many of us reach that 10,000-step goal.

C. In fact it is based on history rather than research.

D. But the statistical benefits of additional steps were slight.

E. The 8,000-steps a day could be a reasonable and achievable goal.

F. A study found that 10,000 steps a day are not a must for a long life.

G. The risks for early death continued to drop among those taking more steps.

The Students’ Union

第二节 （满分25分）

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Another term had started and I had to attend the first lecture of the new course. The lecturer told us to make groups of two students for a project. I looked to the right and there was my classmate Jack sitting there. And I decided myself that he would be my group member. On the left side, there was an older woman who was from an open university. We talked about the project and decided to make a group of three. During the break, she told me that, last year, she didn’t manage to pass the course, so she would try again.

Later we got an email from our lecturer saying it was not allowed to make groups of three students. The old lady then tried to find some groups, but failed. I knew she wouldn’t find other groups, so I told her that we could do the project together. I had to say good bye to Jack.

After many meetings, we finished the project. In the last meeting, I told her I had difficulty in finding a summer job. I was living in a small town and there weren’t many jobs available and neither had I any previous experience. She advised me to keep doing it, as one would finally answer someday. She then thanked me for helping her and before leaving she said “see you”.

Two weeks later, I got an email from a company saying they had received my job application and decided to call me for a job interview. I appeared for the interview and answered the questions interviewers raised. In the end, they asked me where I had learned about the open job position. In fact, I had no idea so I told them I didn’t remember well. They called me three days later and told me I could start in May. That would be the first time I would be working as a software engineer and I couldn’t describe what I felt like.

 注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；
