When I was a teenager, my dad did everything he could to dissuade(劝阻) me from becoming a brewer(酿酒师). He’d spent his life in local breweries, 36 making a living, as had his father and grandfather before him.

So I did as he asked. I went to business school and got a highly paid job at a business-consulting firm. 37 , after working there five years, I was haunted by 38 . Is this

what I want to be doing when I’m 50?

I remembered that some time before, my dad had been cleaning out the attic and 39 some old beer 40 . “Today’s beer is 41 water that can hold a head,” he’d told me.

I agreed. Americans pay good money for 42 beer, I thought. Why not make good beer for Americans using my family way?

I decided to quit my job to become a brewer. When I told Dad, I was hoping he’d put his arm around me and get 43 about continu ing tradition. Instead he said, “Jim, that is the 44 thing I’ve ever heard!”

45 Dad objected, in the end he became my new company’s first 46 , coughing up(支付) $40,000 when I opened the Boston Beer Company in 1984. Going from my fancy office to being a brewer was like mountain climbing: exciting, liberating and 47 . All my safety nets were gone.

Once the beer was made, I faced my biggest 48 yet: no one had ever heard of it. I needed a name that was 49 and elegant, so I called my beer Samuel Adams, 50 the brewer and patriot(爱国者) who helped to found the Boston Tea Party.

The only way to get the word out, I realized, was to sell direct. I filled my briefcase with beer and 51 every bar in Boston.Six weeks later, at the Great American Beer Festival, Sam Adams Boston Lager won the top prize for American beer. The rest is history. It wasn’t supposed to 52 this way ---what ever does? ---but in the end I was 53 to be a brewer.

My advice to all young entrepreneurs is simple: life is very long, so don’t 54 to make decisions. Life doesn’t let you55 .

36. A. barelyB. easily C. sufficiently D. adequately

37. A. Though B. Otherwise C.Still D. Anyhow

38. A. fear B. doubt C. regret D.desire

39. A.came across B. picked out C. put down D. brought about

40. A. receipts B. cans C. recipes D. labels

41. A. exactly B. particularly C. roughly D. basically

42. A. inferior B. superb C. fake D. sour

43. A. miserable B. amused C. misty D. concerned

44. A. dumbestB. smartest C. toughest D. rudest

45. A. As soon as B. As much as C. As far as D. As long as

46. A. employer B. customer C. investor D.salesman

47. A. inspiring B. relaxing C. pushing D.frightening

48. A. opportunity B. decision C. obstacle D. defeat

49. A. respectable B. honorableC. recognizable D. understandable

50. A. after B. by C. as D. for

51. A. hit B. got C. called D. promoted

52. A. make out B. reach out C.set out D. work out

Post Office

All kids will be assisted by Santa’s elves in writing a letter to Santa and then depositing it in Santa’s magical mailbox. A f ew days before Christmas, they will receive letters at their own homes from Santa.

ElfUniversity

ElfUniversity is the place where elves go to school. It’s also the place where kids enjoy making Christmas presents, coloring Christmas pictures, and even filling out applications to become elves one day.

B

The highest beef prices in almost three decades have arrived just before the start of the hot season, causing a great shock to both consumers and restaurant owners-- and relief isn't likely anytime soon. A decreasing number of cattle and growing export demand from countries such as China and Japan have caused the average price of fresh beef to climb to $5.28 a pound in February, up almost a quarter from January and the highest price since 1987.

Everything that's produced is being consumed, said Kevin Good, an analyst at CattleFax, a Colorado-based information group. Prices will likely stay high for a couple of years as cattle producers start to rebuild their cattle among big questions about whether the Southwest and parts of the Midwest will see enough rain to water the grass.

"I quit buying steaks a while ago when the price went up," said 59-year-old Len Markham, who works at Texas Tech. She says she limits red meat purchases to hamburger, choosing chicken, pork and fish instead.

Restaurant owners, too, must deal with the high prices. Mark Hutchens, owner of the 50 Yard Line Steakhouse in Lubbock, raised his menu prices for beef items by about 5 percent in November.

Since then, the owner of the small eating house has tried to make cuts elsewhere to avoid passing it on to customers. "It really puts more pressure on the small guys," he said of non-chain restaurants. "I just think you have to stay competitive and keep your costs low."

“White-tablecloth restaurants have adjusted the size of t heir steaks, making them thinner”, says Jim Robb, director of the Colorado-based LivestockMarketingInformationCenter. “And fast-food restaurants are cutting costs by reducing the number of menu items and are offering other meat options, including turkey burgers, Robb said. Chain restaurants also try to buy beef as much as they can, which essentially gives them a discount”, IowaStateUniversity assistant economics professor Lee Schulz said.

The high prices are welcome news for at least one group: ranchers(大农场经营者), especially those in Texas who for years have struggled amid drought（干旱）and high feed prices. But even as ranchers breathe a sigh of relief, some worry lasting high prices will cause consumers to permanently change their buying habits -- switching to chicken or pork. Pete Bonds, a 62-year-old Texas rancher and president of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, said that's a big concern. “But such fears may be unfounded, Robb said. “Three years ago, economists thought consumers would start finding substitutions for beef as the drought spread. We're surprised we haven't seen more of that," he said.

South Dakota rancher Chuck O'Connor thinks that consumers won’t abandon beef for good.

"I'm sure some are maybe going to cut back some, but to say that people aren't going to buy it anymore, I don't think that's going to happen," he said, adding, "I hope not."

58. The price of beef has increased because______.

A. there is a growing demand of fresh beef among Americans

B. cattle producers have succeeded in raising a new type of cattle

C. ranchers have found ways to deal with high feed prices

D. there is a lack of rain and the export of beef is increasing

59. Which method is NOT used by restaurant owners to deal with the high beef prices?

A. They have made the steaks smaller than before

B. They have increased the prices of beef-related dishes

C. They have made hamburgers with many other kinds of meat

D. They have sought discount by purchasing large amounts of beef

60. Jim Robb gives an example in the sixth paragraph in order to_____.

A. tell people that it is a tough job to look for substitutions for beef

B. explain that customers won’t change their buying habits completely

C. show his fear that chicken or pork may be an alternative to beef

D. indicate that ranchers may be least affected by the high beef prices

C

Your New Year’s plan to move more is one of the toughest to stick to, and a group of scientists working with obese(过度肥胖的)mice think they’re starting to unde rstand why

Rather than our sedentary(久坐的)lives causing weight gain, says Alexxai Kraviz, the National Institutes of Health neuroscientist who led the study, changes in brain chemistry after we start gaining weight affect our capacity to move.

“Obese mice can move just fine,” says Kravitz, who published the work with his team in Cell Metabolism“They just don’t.”

What Kravitz’s team found is that the activity of a particular dopamine(多巴胺)receptor linked to movement goes down as mice gain weight on a high-fat diet. So the nice slow down and they move less. And when the researchers restored the activity of that dopamine receptor—DR2—the mice started moving more, even though they were still obese. The team also saw that lean mice missing the DR2 receptor acted like obese mice. This is the target, says Kravitz—restoring that dopamine receptor function. “Maybe 20 or 30 years down the road, we could do that in people,” he says.

And there is one more thing: The scientists fed normal mice and the mice lacking DR2 the same high-fat diet. Both sets of mice gained weight at the same rate.

Kravitz says this is important because mice lacking DR2 move less from the get-go, whereas a normal mouse takes a little time to start seeing that dopamine receptor-related loss of exercise. The ability to exercise seems to be disconnected from weight gain, he says.

“Exercise is a healthy thing to do, but its impact on weight loss has been exaggerated,” he says. “We have to be realistic about the size of the effect of exercise on weight, as opposed to health benefits.”

Still, before you abandon your New Year’s exercise plan, keep in mind that this study was done using a high-fat diet, and not the normal calorie restriction that people maintain when they diet. That’s a big drawback to the work, says Vicki Vieira-Potter, a University of Missouri physiologist not involved in the study

“They feed the mice with high-fat diet, it damages the receptor, and that decreases activity. Those who plan to lost weight should remember high-fat diet is a nice way to cause obesity in the lab, but it’s not the same as the normal situation of obesity,” she sys.

Sine also says that a lot of the weight gain in the mice came after they stopped moving around, which indicates that the loss of movement did impact obesity.

61. Alexxai Kravitz is likely to agree that______.

A. high-fat food leads to the lack of DR2

B. less movement results from weight gain

C. weight gain leads to the inactivity of DR2

D. the lack of DR2 results in less movement

62. What can we infer from the research mentioned in the passage?

A. High-fat diet is bound to cause obesity.

B. High-fat diet has little influence on the rate of weight gain

C. The research team aim to deal with human obesity

D. Obese mice’s ability to move is affected by the inactivity of DR2

63. The underlined word “exaggerated” in Paragraph 7 can be replaced by “______”

A. underestimated

B. excluded

C. overlooked

D. overemphasized

64. According to Vicki Vicki-Vieira-Potter, ______.

A. Alexx ai Kravitz’s team misread the results of the research

B. the total loss of movement can do harm to the function of DR2

C. besides diet, other factors behind obesity shouldn’t be ignored in daily life

D. obesity is mainly caused by high-fat diet people take.

When Charles Lee handed me the small red notebook in 1974, he changed my life. “While you are traveling, you should keep notes of things you see and do,” he explained.

I was 20 years old, a junior in college, spending a term at the University of London. Charles was

a retired traveling salesman. I was staying with him in his cottage in Kendal, located in the Lake

District of northern England. It was a one-week homestay the university arranged for us before classes began.

I took his advice. I wrote in the notebook every day during the homestay. Back in London, I recorded weekend trips to Wales, Yorkshire, France, and Spain. I commented on my classes, professors, and classmates. I contrasted my life at a small college in the US with my wandering through the streets of London, my introduction to life in a big city, and my initial travels outside the US. I tracked ideas I had about my life and my future.

When I wrote in the notebook, I struggled with a sense of my audience and purpose. Who would read this? Were these writings just for me, or did I want others to read them? Was I recording events and ideas just as a prompt(提示)to memory, or was there some larger purpose for this daily exercise?

I knew I was recording events, thoughts, words that were important to my life. I imagined a future me sitting down to read the pages. I wondered what it would feel like to read those words later.

I wondered where I would be and what my life would be like.

I filled the notebook Charles gave me. I bought a new one and filled it. Then another and another.

I continued writing in notebooks for four decades. By that time, they filled two boxes in my garage.

I had reread some of the journals. Specific volumes had provided me with the background I needed for dozens of articles for magazines. But I had never read them all. Recently, I decided to bring my collection of notebooks into my office and replay my life. As I opened the first box, I suddenly became nervous would I like the former me described on those pages? There was a risk in opening that first notebook. I did it anyway.

Charles had been right. I remembered the big events and the central happenings, but on each page were many details I hadn’t retained(保留).

The pages revealed highlights from college classes and stories about roommates and friends. I read anxious comments I’d written as I’d launched my teaching career, learned to write lesson plants, assigned grades for student work, and solved discipline problems. I reflected on my coming marriage, then the wedding, and eventually the proud moments when I held each of my three girls as a father. I recounted more trips---returning to Europe, teaching in South America, going on safari(游猎)in Africa, and exploring Greenland. I relived memories of trails hit, rivers crossed, and mountains climbed.

The writings in those journals framed my life. I hadn’t written every day. I often skipped a few days or even weeks, but I always picked up the writing when it felt important. Journals went with me when I traveled , and I often wrote in them at school when my own students were writing.

It took several long evenings to read through the notebooks, taking me on tour spanning(持续)42 years. As I read I could recall sitting on a bench in Trafalgar Square in London or in our apartment in Peru to write to the future me. It was then that I realized: I am now the person I was writing to throughout those years.

65. What can we learn about Charles Lee?

A. He was an Englishman the author came across

B. He gave the author a notebook as birthday present

C. The author gained valuable experience of life from him

D. The author once lived in his house as a college graduate

66. One reason why the author kept writing journals was that he wanted to _______.

A. let others read what he wrote in the future

B. know what his life would be like in the future

C.live up to Ch arles Lee’s expectation for him

D. leave something special to his three daughters

67. How did the author feel when he opened the first box filled with his journals?

A. Curious

B. Surprised

C.Worried

D. Disappointed

68. By mentioning the highlights in Paragraph 10, the author intends to tell us _________.

A. the regrets he had about his life

C. the big events that happened to him

D.the benefits of keeping journals

D. had kept writing journals for five decades

70. What would be the best title for the passage?

第II卷(非选择题，共35分)

第四部分任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

Life is not easy when you are pursuing something worthwhile and ready to learn from the best experiences. It always takes tests and then fails us to learn anything worthwhile. Here are five life lessons which people will learn the hard way in majority of cases.

It takes consistent time and effort to be an expert in any area. People usually get discouraged when it takes more time than they thought it would. At this time, people refer only to people who have already achieved what they want to do. Look at any successful person and you’ll notice one thing common in all of them: they took time to learn and mastered their skill like no one else. There is no elevator to success; you have to take the stairs.

You don’t have to live yourlife in a way society wants you to. Many old beliefs are being performed these days and are followed blindly. Parents sometimes force their children to select a career they don’t want because other children have selected t hat career. Worst of all, people follow them without even asking. There is no harm in believing in old beliefs but when you pursue them before your interest, sooner or later you’ll realize that you should first do what you think is right.

We don’t care abo ut the things we get easily. Take health for example. Very few people take their health seriously. They know that if their health is lost, they won’t be happy, but they still eat junk food and never exercise. Why? Because they don’t take their health serio usly and the real reason behind that is they have got it for free. We spend thousands on cars and take care of them nicely. Imagine what would have been the price of human body if we had to pay for it?

Be brave to take the road less traveled. In our whole life, we always want to follow the same path that everyone suggests, do the same thing everyone does, take the same career path everyone takes, wear the same clothes everyone wears, and hang out with the same people we work with. Why? Because we are scared to fail. But when you get bored of life, you realize that you are not meant to do what everyone does and that your destiny is different than anyone else’s out there in the world. But the price we pay to realize this is high because it takes a great amount of courage to follow your own trail by listening to your heart.

Break the rules sometimes. We follow rules so that things are in order and no one is disturbed unnecessarily. This is true in case of traffic and other company rules but when it comes to your life, there are rules made by people who are scared to do something apart from their routine and therefore they made rules to prevent others doing so. But when time passes by and you think you are not being directed towards your goal and these so-called rules are your biggest obstacles, BREAK THEM. Sometimes, we need to be bold and act courageously.

Too Much Care Spoils A Child

As is shown in the picture above, the blooming plant is being destroyed by over-watering.Often people do things with good intentions, but the result may be quite different.Such can also be the case with us while we grow up.

To spare us the kind of hardships they had in their childhood, our parents tend to offer us too much care, for example, making beds, washing clothes and even carrying school bags for us.They are doing all these without knowing that they are actually spoiling us.

As far as I am concerned, we children can't depend on our parents in everything, and at the same time our parents are supposed to let ourselves do whatever we can.As children, what we really need is to experience difficulties and take challenges so that we can learn from our own mistakes and grow to be independent.Only in this way can we become stronger to shoulder our due responsibilities.

2017年江苏省英语高考阅读C

2017年江苏省英语高考阅读C A new commodity brings about a highly profitable,fast-growing industry,urging antitrust（反垄断）regulators to step in to check those who control its flow. A century ago,the resource in question was oil. Now similar concerns are being raised by the giants（巨头）that deal in data, the oil of the digital age. The most valuable firms are Google,Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. All look unstoppable. Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up. But size alone is not a crime. The giants' success has benefited consumers. Few want to live without search engines or a quick delivery. Far from charging consumers high prices, many of these services are free (users pay, in effect, by handing over yet more data). And the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves, too. But there is cause for concern. The internet has made data abundant, all-present and far more valuable, changing the nature of data and competition. Google initially used the data collected from users to target advertising better. But recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new services: translation and visual recognition, to be sold to other companies. Internet companies’ control of data gives them enormous power. So they have a “God’s eye view” of activities in their own markets and beyond. This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful. Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking

B I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul — he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would hav e listened to their agents or the studio powers. The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft （技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core（核心）of our relationship off the screen. We shared the bel ief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back—he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps fo r kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events. I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words. 24.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first? A. Paul Newman wanted it. B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent. C. He wasn’t famous enough. D. The director recommended someone else. 25.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship? A. They were of the same age. B. They worked in the same theater. C. They were both good actors. D. They have similar characteristics. 26.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Their belief. B. Their care for children. C. Their success. D. Their support for each other. 27.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To show his love of films. B. To remember a friend. C. To introduce a new movie. D. To share his acting experience. C Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle —named the Transition – has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon. Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000. And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway. Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly.
