　　(2015·南通高三调研)Someone recently asked me when I became more confident about my abilities as an entrepreneur. I thought it was a funny question, __16__ Im not very confident at all, and constantly filled with __17__ about every decision I make.

　　It doesn?t exactly hold me back in my work; it is just that I am very __18__ of what I do, and I?m always __19__ on the way I work, think and talk. I have also learned over the years that making a decision is often more important than making the __20__ decision. Preferably your decisions are the right ones, but inaction or indecisiveness is more __21__ than making the wrong decision every now and then.

　　There is one thing I have learned over the years that I wish I had learned earlier in my career. And that is the __22__ that I am not stupid.

　　It sounds logical, but I often sat in on meetings and heard people explain things and then __23__ to myself, “I don?t understand that. Maybe I?m stupid？” or I would hear about a startup and I would not __24__ their business model and think Im stupid. Or I would hear an entrepreneur speak and think, “That all __25__ like bullshit, but I must be stupid, because other people seem to love it.”

　　A couple of years ago, I came to the __26__ that I was not stupid at all. When people in meetings say things I don?t understand I __27__ up and tell them so. Usually, I hear a sigh of __28__ in the room and find out nobody understood what was being talked about.

　　When I don?t understand a business model, it usually means there is not one, or it __29__. Turns out I?m not stupid and __30__ I don?t understand it, most people won?t understand it at all. __31__ doubting my own abilities I?ve learned to __32__ my “bullshit radar” a bit more and not understanding something is a clear sign that something is __33__.

　　My advice to young entrepreneurs is this: You are not stupid! If something does not make __34__， if it sounds stupid, if you do not understand it, something is wrong! Trust your gut (本能的)__35__. Feel free to not know and be honest when you don’t understand something!

　　(2015·扬州第二次调研)Given its subject matter and time slot, A Bite of China was initially considered a “weak player” on TV.

　　“Man is what he eats，” said Ludwig Feuerbach. From its very beginning, A Bite of China is not just a documentary about food. “The scenes of digging for bamboo shoots, hanging hams, catching fish using a net, opening a steamer filled with white steamed buns, and pulling wheat dough into thin strands for noodles move us to tears. What a lovely China！” a viewer said.

　　A Bite of China is a serious documentary providing a unique view of Chinese as well as the relations between people, food and society from the perspective of food.

　　The touching documentary reminds some people of their mother, and makes some realize that every grain comes from hard and laborious toil. Some people see patriotism in the documentary, and some consider it a great cultural export.

　　How did this documentary achieve a tremendous influence beyond its subject matter in such a short time?

　　“It is not empty propaganda (宣传) about China’s splendid food culture. Instead, it shows the techniques used in making food and their production process as well as the lives of ordinary people, thus striking a chord with the audience，” an Internet user said. The success of the documentary should be attributed to sincerity and reality. Nowadays, many works of art that have high investment, high technology, and magnificent scenes lack nothing but sincerity and reality.

　　It is said sarcastically that Americans like to shoot sci­fi films because they have no history, while Chinese like to shoot time­travel dramas to the past because they have no future. The correctness of this arbitrary conclusion is debatable, but it has raised a thought­provoking question. Works that are created behind closed doors and fail to reflect reality or that only focus on the luxury lives of a few people and ignore ordinary people?s desire for ample food and clothing will not touch people?s hearts.

　　A Bite of China shows that a commercial documentary promoting patriotism can be full of touching details, that the emotions of ordinary Chinese people should be exhibited even in publicizing China overseas, and that even a completely commercial program can achieve both artistic and commercial success.

　　“We made this documentary with our respect and love for food，” said director Chen Xiaoqing. Being sincere is the most important thing for artists because they cannot move others unless they themselves are first moved, and cannot convince others unless they themselves are first convinced. Sincerity is the “secret” for making this documentary so popular, and every cultural creator should learn from its success.

　　38．A Bite of China has all the following emotional influences EXCEPT ________.

　　A．reminding people of their memories about family

　　B．making people treasure every grain

　　C．arousing people’s patriotism towards their country

　　D．calling on people to export their culture

　　39．Which of the following statements about A Bite of China is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．It only focuses on the luxury lives of a few people in China.

　　B．It stresses the emotions of ordinary Chinese people in its shooting.

　　C．It has been considered a “weak player” on TV since it was produced.

　　D．It provides a unique view of Chinese from the perspective of humanity.

　　40．Which would be the best title for the passage?

　　A．Sincerity and Reality, Great Success

　　B．Food and Culture, Commercial Program

　　C．Techniques and Art, Huge Popularity

　　D．Patriotism and Respect, Tremendous Influence

　　C

　　(2015·南京三校联考)Depression can be a devastating illness, plaguing millions of people worldwide with feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and fatigue. Despite numerous antidepressant drugs, as many as a third of patients don?t respond to medication. This has forced doctors to be more creative in finding different treatments for the condition.

　　In the past two decades, researchers have tied depression to a seemingly unrelated condition：inflammation (炎症), the bodys natural response to stress. It could rise from injury or infection, or even emotional issues like an unhappy marriage or problems at work. Some amount of inflammation is generally beneficial, as it increases production of cytokines (细胞因子), proteins that help us heal and protect us from the effects of overwork.

　　But excessive cytokine levels, and the inflammation they bring on, could come at a cost — a number of studies suggest that high levels of cytokines could contribute to depression.

　　Cytokines can reach the brain several ways: directly through the blood­brain barrier or indirectly by binding to nerve fibers elsewhere, which send signals to the brain to produce the inflammation molecules. In the brain, cytokines can disturb the production and release of several important signaling chemicals, including serotonin, dopamine and glutamate, which help control emotion, appetite, sleep, learning and memory. It?s thought that a lack of serotonin activity in the brain causes depression; most antidepressants increase the activity. But cytokines also have been shown to activate stress hormone signaling in the brain, which may also serve to develop depression.

　　With all the evidence implicating inflammation in depression, doctors have been anxious to test anti­inflammatory drugs as a potential treatment. Four small studies published between 2006 and 2017 by research groups in Europe and Iran found that adults diagnosed with depression who took aspirin or another anti­inflammatory drug called Celecoxib, along with an antidepressant, got more relief from feelings of sadness, hopelessness, guilt and fatigue compared with those taking an antidepressant alone. However, Andrew Miller, a professor of psychiatry at Emory University, thought something was amiss in these small, limited studies. None of them looked at whether the participants had to have high levels of cytokines before they?d see a benefit from anti­inflammatory drugs. “Unfortunately, much of the field has fallen into the trap of viewing inflammation as the be­all, end­all，” Miller says. He and his colleagues wanted to see whether the effect of these drugs was limited to the depression patients with high cytokine levels, or if it helped all people diagnosed with depression.

　　41．Which of the following illustrates how depression is developed?

　　A．infection→inflammation→cytokines→depression

　　B．stress→overwork→inflammation→depression

　　C．cytokines→stress→infection→depression

　　D．inflammation→infection→stress→depression

　　42．We can infer from the passage that ________.

　　A．depression will be an incurable disease for a long time

　　B．we have a long way to go before depression can be satisfyingly treated

　　C．people who are hard­working are more subject to depression

　　D．aspirin can effectively help relieve people of many emotional problems

　　43．The underlined word “excessive” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”．

　　A．intermediate

　　B．mild

　　C．appropriate

　　D．overmuch

　　44．Which of the following shows the right structure of the passage?

　　(①­⑤represent Paragraphs 1­5)

　　(2015·苏锡常镇高三调研)“Have you put any salt in it？”

　　“Certainly not, maam，” answered Marie, amazed by the question. “You told me yourself that I was never to put salt in it.”

　　Upon this, Madame Duparc snatched up the saucepan without saying another word, turned to the cupboard, and stretched out her hand toward one of four salt­cellars which always stood there. Then_she_sprinkled_salt_into_the_saucepan_—_or,_if_not_salt_something_which_she_took_for_salt.

　　The hasty­pudding made, Marie poured it from the saucepan into a soup­plate which her mistress held. Madame Duparc herself then took it to her father, Monsieur De Beaulieu. Then she and her daughter, and one of her sons, remained with the old man while he was eating his breakfast. Marie, left in the kitchen, prepared to clean the saucepan; but, before she could do so, she was suddenly called in two different directions by Madame De Beaulieu and Madame Duparc. The old lady wished to be taken to mass, and her mistress wanted to send her on a number of errands. It was half­past eleven in the forenoon before she got back to the kitchen.

　　The first news that met her on her return was that Monsieur De Beaulieu had been suffering, ever since nine o?clock, from a violent attack of vomiting and colic. Madame Duparc ordered her to help the old man to bed immediately; and inquired, when these directions had been followed, whether Marie felt capable of looking after him herself, or whether she would prefer that a nurse should be sent for. Being a kind­hearted, willing girl, always anxious to make herself useful, Marie replied that she would gladly undertake the nursing of the old man; and thereupon her bed was moved at once into Monsieur De Beaulieu?s room.

　　Meanwhile Madame Duparc fetched from a neighboring apothecary?s one of the apprentices (学徒) of the shop to see her father. The apprentice was quite unfit to meet the emergency of the case, which was certainly serious enough to require the attention of his master, if not of a regularly qualified physician. Instead of applying any internal remedies, the apprentice stupidly tried blistering. This course of treatment proved utterly useless; but no better advice was called in. After he had suffered for hours without relief, Monsieur De Beaulieu began to sink rapidly toward the afternoon. At half­past five o’clock he had ceased to exist.

　　This shocking catastrophe, startling and suspicious as it was, did not appear to disturb the nerves of Madame Duparc. She lost no time in sending for the nearest nurse to lay out the body of Monsieur De Beaulieu. On entering the chamber of death, the nurse found Marie there alone, praying by the old man’s bedside. “He died suddenly, did he not？” said the nurse. “Very suddenly，” answered Marie. “He was walking about only yesterday in perfect health.” Soon afterward the time came when it was customary to prepare supper. Marie went into the kitchen mechanically, to get the meal ready. Madame Duparc, her daughter, and her youngest son, sat down to it as usual. Madame De Beaulieu, overwhelmed by the dreadful death of her husband, was incapable of joining them.

　　When supper was over, Marie assisted the old lady to bed. Then, worn out though she was with fatigue, she went back to the nurse to keep her company in watching by the dead body. Monsieur De Beaulieu had been kind to Marie, and had spoken gratefully of the little attentions she had shown him. She remembered this tenderly now that he was no more; and she could not find it in her heart to leave a hired mourner to be the only watcher by his death­bed. All that night she remained in the room, entirely ignorant of what was passing the while in every other part of the house — her own little bedroom included, as a matter of course.

　　About seven o’clock the next morning, after sitting up all night, she went back again wearily to the kitchen to begin her day’s work. Her mistress joined her there, and saluted her instantly with a scolding.

　　“You are the most careless, slovenly girl I ever met with，” said Madame Duparc. “Look at your dress; how can you expect to be decent on a Sunday, if you wear your best pair of pockets on week­days？”

　　45．What implication can we draw from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?

　　A．Salt was something necessary to make the hasty­pudding.

　　B．Madame Duparc deliberately sprinkled salt into the saucepan.

　　C．Salt was likely to be mistaken for other ingredients.

　　D．Madame Duparc was criticizing Marie in a silent way.

　　46．From the passage, we can learn that Marie ___________________________________.

　　A．intended to put salt into the hasty­pudding

　　B．cleaned the saucepan after the breakfast

　　C．fetched a physician from the apothecary’s

　　D．had a busy day when the disaster happened

　　47．Paragraph 6 mainly tells us that________.

　　A．Monsieur De Beaulieu wasnt properly treated

　　B．it was impossible to fetch a qualified physician then

　　C．the apprentice made a mistake during the treatment

　　D．Madame Duparc knew nothing about medical treatment

　　48．When Monsieur De Beaulieu fell ill，________.

　　A．Marie undertook the nursing of him willingly

　　B．all the family members were concerned about him

　　C．the nurse knew exactly the reason for his illness

　　D．Marie was severely scolded for leaving him alone

　　49．The cause of Monsieur De Beaulieus death probably lies in________.

　　A．Maries careless attendance on him

　　B．the indifference from his wife

　　C．the salt previously put into his breakfast

　　D．his old age and poor health condition

　　50．According to the article, its safe to conclude that ________.

　　A．Madame Duparc was deeply worried about her father

　　B．there was nothing suspicious in the old mans death

　　C．the apprentice should answer for the old mans death

　　D．something terrible was going to happen to Marie

Some amount of inflammation ... increases production of cytokines (细胞因子)”和第三段中“a number of studies suggest that high levels of cytokines could contribute to depression”可知答案选A。

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，节选自英文短篇小说The Poisoned Meal。 Marie在一户人家做佣人。作者描述了Marie一天的辛苦劳作和受到的不公正待遇，穿插着Monsieur De Beaulieu的死亡，将Marie的善良、勤劳与她的遭遇进行了对比。45．选B　推理判断题。根据文章第二段中Marie对Madame Duparc所说的话“You told me yourself that I was never to put salt in it.”可知，Madame Duparc告诉Marie不能在锅里放盐，由此结合第三段中“stretched out her hand toward ... something which she took for salt”可知，Madame Duparc自己却把盐放进了锅里，故可推知Madame Duparc是故意把盐洒在锅里的。故答案选B。

　　48．选A　推理判断题。根据文章第五段最后一句中“Being a kind­hearted, willing girl ... Marie replied that she would gladly undertake the nursing of the old man”可知，Marie自愿照顾Monsieur De Beaulieu。故答案选A。

　　49．选C　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中Madame Duparc明知不可以却故意放盐的事实，结合第四段中“The hasty­pudding made”(匆忙制作的布丁)和文章第五段第一句中对Monsieur De Beaulieu发病的描述“ever since nine oclock, from a violent attack of vomiting and colic”可知，他的死亡原因很有可能是之前的早餐加入的盐。故答案选C。

　　50．选D　推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段的最后一句和最后一段第一句可知，Madame Duparc大声责备Marie，说她粗心懒散，由此可以预测Marie接下来会遭受不幸的事情(Madame Duparc可能会把她父亲的死亡归咎在Marie身上)。故答案选D。
