　　.阅读理解

　　With a million 18-25s unemployed,it’s not an easy time for young people looking to get on the job ladder.However,through the statistic I saw an opportunity that I decided to take.Throughout the past years I have worked hard to develop a number of projects to help young people gain an advantage in their careers and in life.With the support of Levi Roots,who created Reggae Reggae sauce.I founded UnITe Computing in 2011 and since have enjoyed working with clients(客户) such as Google UK,the University of Australia and others.Though this journey has had its ups and downs,I am proud of how far we have come.

　　The main issue I have faced so far in my business life has been gaining the trust of others.If you are 19,not very many people believe you when you say you run a number of businesses.In fact I have been laughed at and even told to get a job by some.This was a major obstacle I had to face.To overcome it I simply established a professional and positive reputation among colleagues,friends and in the media in order to build credibility for myself and my businesses.Age should not limit your ability to succeed and I have gained more respect due to my willingness to give back and reward the communities which support me.

　　One of the young business people I personally support is Ryan Farquharson who runs Lovethequote.com.He says,“To anybody that has an urge to run their own business I would absolutely say go for it,anyone can do it!”

　　It’s this go-getting attitude that I firmly believe needs to be encouraged and developed among today’s young people.The“one million unemployed youth”statistic is a key drive for change and an opportunity to get up and make something of yourself,you simply have to go for it and pick up support.That is what my journey and my story aims to inspire.

　　【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。面对很多年轻人找不到工作的现状,同样身为年轻人的作者从中嗅得商机并创办了自己的公司,帮助其他年轻人赢在起跑线上。

　　A.failed to find a satisfying job

　　B.enjoyed working for himself

　　C.followed Levi Roots’ advice

　　2.The underlined word“obstacle”in Paragraph 2 means 　. 

　　A.pressure B.difficulty

　　C.frustration D.disappointment

　　答案:B

　　解析:词义猜测题。由于年龄小,作者不能取得别人的信任,因此如何取得别人的信任成为作者在创业途中碰到的最大“难题”。

　　3.By mentioning Ryan Farquharson,the author wants to 　. 

　　A.show the achievement Ryan Farquharson has made

　　B.encourage young people to turn to him for support

　　4.Which of the following words can best describe the author?

　　A.Determined and generous.

　　B.Considerate and optimistic.

　　C.Sympathetic and productive.

　　.语篇填空

　　(2015·山东日照校际联考)

　　A man looking at his smartphone while walking across a railway crossing in Nanjing 1.(have)a close knock on Oct.22.He was so 2.(absorb)in his smartphone that he didn’t see a train approaching until it brushed past him,3.(throw)him to the ground.This should serve 4. a warning that people should be aware of their surroundings,especially 5.　 crossing roads. 

　　6.(lucky),the man survived a brush with death,but the incident forced the driver 7.　(stop)the train.An 18-minute delay followed the incident,8. led to a break in the running of other trains on the route. 

　　Smartphone 9.　(addicted)has spread like an infectious disease.It’s evident that it will do great harm to society.What’s even 10.(bad),some addicts become impatient with relatives and friends. 

　　Some people blame the smartphone for the tragedy,yet in fact people’s weakening self-control and self-discipline are to blame.

　　答案与解析:

　　【语篇导读】如今手机上瘾现象非常严重,这种现象对人们的生活有着很大的危害。文章告诉我们是我们的自控力和自我约束力差而导致此种现象,并非手机本身的问题。

　　1.had　解析:考查一般过去时。根据时间状语“on Oct.22”可知,此处是在描述发生在过去的事情,故用一般过去时。

　　2.absorbed　解析:考查固定短语。be absorbed in“专心致志,全神贯注”,是固定短语。

　　3.throwing　解析:考查现在分词。根据语境可知,此处表示“火车与他擦身而过,把他摔在了地上”,train和throw之间是主动关系,故用现在分词作伴随状语。

　　4.as　解析:考查固定结构。serve as“起作用,产生效果”,此处表示“这应该给人们起一个警告作用”。

　　5.when/while　解析:考查连词。根据语境可知,此处表示“尤其是当过马路的时候”,故用when或while,此处是省略了“主语+be动词”。可还原为:especially when/while they are crossing roads。

　　6.Luckily　解析:考查副词。幸运的是,这个男子与死亡擦肩而过,但是这个事件迫使驾驶员停下了火车。结合句意,在句首修饰整个句子应该用lucky的副词形式,即Luckily。

　　7.to stop　解析:考查动词不定式。force sb to do sth “迫使某人做某事”,为固定结构。

　　8.which　解析:考查非限制性定语从句。因为这件事耽搁了18分钟,导致路线上其他火车的运行中断了。此处用which引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面的“An 18-minute delay”。

　　9.addiction　解析:考查名词。分析句子成分可知,此处作主语,故用addicted的名词形式addiction“上瘾”,addict作名词时意为“对……着迷的人”,此处不符合语境。

　　10.worse　解析:考查形容词比较级。what’s even worse“甚至更糟糕的是”,even修饰形容词和副词比较级,故用worse。

　　.短文改错
