When Tal Golesworthy was told he needed a lifesaving heart operation in 1993, he said no. Golesworthy has Marfan syndrome, a genetic condition affecting body tissues.
Back in 1993, his doctor told him that his aorta (主动脉) was so enlarged that it would unavoidably break unless he underwent a major surgery. “The operation really didn’t look attractive,” says Golesworthy. What he particularly didn’t like was having to take a medicine after the operation that would prevent blood clots (血栓) but presented its own risks. “I was riding motorbikes then, and skiing, so my whole lifestyle would have been affected.”
By 2000, however, his condition had worsened. Realizing something had to be done, Golesworthy put his years of experience as a research-and-development engineer with the United Kingdom’s National Coal Board to good use. He decided he would fix himself. “Learning new stuff and developing new ideas, that was my job,” Golesworthy says.
So Golesworthy spent 30 hours in an MRI scanner, used 3D printing to create a copy of his heart aorta, and wrapped it with a special material. Strong determination together with an original yet practical solution won him the support of two leading surgeons who helped him raise the money to develop his idea.
In May 2004, at the age of 47, he became the guinea pig for his own invention. The operation was a success. It has since been used by surgeons in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands. “When you’re as motivated as I was,” Golesworthy said, “you make things happen.”
4. Why did Golesworthy refuse to take the major operation?
A. Because the heart surgery was too risky.
B. Because his way of life would be influenced.
C. Because his aorta would break during the surgery.
D. Because he assumed that it would not save his life.
5. Golesworthy is a person with .
A. resolution and new ideas B. motivation and magical power
C. curiosity and mental problems D. optimism and practical lifestyle
6. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. An expert in medicine. B. An animal with talents.
C. A subject for experiment. D. A patient with a serious disease.
7. What is the main idea of the text?
A. An engineer became a surgeon. B. A patient invented an operation.
C. A patient never gave in to death. D. An engineer helped fix his own heart.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述患有马凡氏综合症的Tal Golesworthy拒绝做手术，他用3D打印技术制作出心脏主动脉复制品，通过手术修复了自己的心脏。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“What he particularly didn’t like was having to take a medicine after the operation that would prevent blood clots (血栓) but presented its own risks. “I was riding motorbikes then, and skiing, so my whole lifestyle would have been affected.”(他特别不喜欢的是手术后必须服用一种药物，这种药物可以防止血栓，但也有风险。“我那时骑摩托车，还滑雪，所以我的整个生活方式都会受到影响。”)”可知，Golesworthy拒绝做手术是因为他的生活方式会因此受到影响。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Strong determination together with an original yet practical solution won him the support of two leading surgeons who helped him raise the money to develop his idea.(坚定的决心和一个新颖而实用的解决方案为他赢得了两位顶尖外科医生的支持，他们帮助他筹集资金来实现他的想法)”可知，Golesworthy是一个有决心和新想法的人。故选A项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“So Golesworthy spent 30 hours in an MRI scanner, used 3D printing to create a copy of his heart aorta, and wrapped it with a special material.(因此Golesworthy接受了30个小时的核磁共振扫描，用3D打印技术制作了他的心脏主动脉复制品，并用一种特殊的材料包裹起来)”可知，Golesworthy用3D打印技术制作了心脏主动脉复制品，结合最后一段中“The operation was a success.(手术成功了)”可知，他是通过手术用制作出的心脏主动脉复制品修复了自己的心脏。由此推知，划线部分所在句意为：2004年5月，47岁的他成为了自己发明物的实验对象。划线词组the guinea pig意为“实验对象”。故选C项。
【7题详解】

Sometimes when we eat, what we’re hungry for isn’t food — it’s the taste of memory. Studies show that foods we think of as comfort foods don’t contain any magical properties. What might be comforting is the feeling of proximity (亲近) to other people associated with the foods.
Thoughts about comfort foods are often linked to calories, warmth or a sense of well-being, but what we don’t think about is that they also provide something social to us. People like comfort foods because of their ability to make them feel that they belong.
When Marcel Proust, author of Remembrance of Things Past, bit into a cake at his aunt’s house, he was overwhelmed by a feeling of nostalgia. Where had this “all-powerful joy ” come from? He sensed that it was connected to the taste of tea and cake, but it “ went far beyond” those flavors, he wrote. In Proust’s case, the taste he experienced took him back to childhood experiences with a beloved aunt, to whom he formed a strong bond.
Comfort foods are often thought of as being rich in calories or full of sugar. Nevertheless, other studies have also shown that the line between comfort and food isn’t as clear as “ junk food = happiness. ” Eating so-called junk food does activate the brain’s reward system, but that high is short-lived. It’s not the deep reward of real comfort. On the other hand, if you feel bad, you might as well have a salad, as long as there is something in the food to bring back pleasant memories and create a sense of belonging. Taste and smell, Proust wrote, “ stay fresh a long time. ”
8. How do comfort foods function?
A. They inspire a sense of belonging. B. They are linked to all-powerful joy.
C. They provide the calories one needs. D. They set off the brain’s reward system.
9. Why does the author mention Marcel Proust in Para. 3?
A. To express love for a special cake. B. To share a good childhood memory.
C. To. show the nature of comfort foods. D. To prove a popular belief about foods.
10. What does Para. 4 mainly talk about?
A. The less clear line between comfort and food.
B. The connection between junk food and happiness.
C. The difference between comfort foods and junk food.
D. The relationship between comfort foods and reward system.
11. Where does the passage probably come from?
A A science report. B. An advertisement.
C. A cooking guide. D. A health magazine.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。科学研究表明，安慰食物令人感到舒适的原因是其味道会唤醒人们曾经熟悉的记忆。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“People like comfort foods because of their ability to make them feel that they belong.（人们喜欢安慰食物，因为它们能让他们有归属感。）”可知，安慰食物激发了一种归属感，故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In Proust’s case, the taste he experienced took him back to childhood experiences with a beloved aunt, to whom he formed a strong bond.（在普鲁斯特的例子中，他体验到的味道把他带回了童年与心爱的阿姨的经历，他与她形成了牢固的纽带。）”可知，作者举Marcel Proust的例子来展示安慰食物的本质，故选C。
10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Comfort foods are often thought of as being rich in calories or full of sugar. Nevertheless, other studies have also shown that the line between comfort and food isn’t as clear as “ junk food = happiness. ”（安慰食物通常被认为是富含卡路里或糖分的食物。然而，其他研究也表明，舒适和食物之间的界限并不像“垃圾食品=快乐”那样清晰。）”可知，本段主要讲述安慰食物与其功能作用之间的关系，故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Studies show that foods we think of as comfort foods don’t contain any magical properties. What might be comforting is the feeling of proximity (亲近) to other people associated with the foods.（研究表明，我们认为是安慰食物并不含有任何神奇的特性。令人舒服的是与这些食物相关的其他人的亲近感。）”可知，这篇文章的主旨为科学研究表明，安慰食物令人感到舒适的原因，故本文应该是来自于科学报告，故选A。
D
Quite often, no matter how good you are, your success is dependent on how other people such as your boss, peers, clients and customers perceive your communication and responses. So when you come to people who make the key difference between helping you or holding you back, how can you influence and persuade them to give what you want?
Psychological researches repeatedly show that people generally make up their minds on whether to help or hinder you based on whether they like you or not. It is human nature. What can you do about it? You need to make a good impression on others to ensure they like you and give you what you want. Research again shows that people give opportunities to the people they like best. In fact, most people actually make up their minds about other people in the first five minutes or less of meeting someone. These are called first impressions or “moments of truth” .
Once they make up their minds, they tend to be very reluctant to change their opinions. You hardly have room for error when making that first impression on a new acquaintance. Therefore, whether you are applying for a job, going for an interview, attending a meeting with your boss or peers, or serving a customer, you need to prepare yourself mentally and rehearse how you will manage the first few minutes of your interaction. This includes doing your homework to gather information and researching all possible issues so you will know how to address them should the other party raise them unexpectedly.
It is amazing how poorly some people can come across at the beginning. The worst thing is that they do not even seem to realize it. Having good qualifications and an excellent work performance does not excuse candidates from trying to make a good first impression.
12. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Persuading people to like you. B. People making the key difference.
C. Winning strategies for a job interview. D. Making a good first impression.
13. Which is the way people tend to decide whether to like other people or not?
A. They make quick decisions.
B. They change their opinions frequently.
C. They prefer people who are experienced.
D. They pay much attention to good qualifications.
14. Which of the following strategies might help in an interview?
A. Show your friendliness and confidence.
B. Ask the interviewers for homework to do.
C. Know as much as possible about the situation.
D. Do something unexpected to impress interviewers.
15. What will probably be talked about in the next part of the passage?
A. Examples of how good first impressions help people succeed.
B. Some practical advice to help make a good first impression.
C. Questions that might be asked by the interviewers.
D. How to win over people who don't like you at first.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】

【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的倒数第二句话“In fact, most people actually make up their minds about other people in the first five minutes or less of meeting someone.(事实上，大多数人在和别人见面的前五分钟甚至更短的时间内就对别人有了想法)”可知，人们决定是否喜欢别人，很快就会做出决定。故选A。

第三部分 翻译
46. 在任何情况下我们都不应该匆忙地下结论。(circumstances;倒装句) （汉译英）
【答案】Under/In no circumstances should we jump to a conclusion.
【解析】
【详解】考查名词短语和倒装句。题中“在任何情况下”应用短语“Under/In no circumstances”。短语“匆忙下结论”应用短语“jump to a conclusion”。句子常规结构应该是“we should not jump to a conclusion”，否定词放句首短语中，句子要使用半倒装，助动词“should”前置放在句子主语“we”之前。故翻译为Under/In no circumstances should we jump to a conclusion.
47. 老实说，我们应该更注重学生的身体心理健康，而不是学习成绩。(emphasis;rather than) （汉译英）
【答案】To be honest, we should place/put/lay more/greater emphasis on the physical and mental health of students rather than on their academic performances.
【解析】
【详解】考查名词和连词。表示“老实说”用to be honest；表示主语“我们”用we；表示“应该”用should；表示“更注重”用place/put/lay more/greater emphasis on；表示“学生的身体心理健康”用 the physical and mental health of students，表示“而不是”用rather than；表示“（他们的）学习成绩”用academic performances。故翻译为：To be honest, we should place/put/lay more/greater emphasis on the physical and mental health of students rather than on their academic performances.
48. 出于对大自然的热爱，他一直都致力于环境保护。(out of; commit) （汉译英）
【答案】Out of his passion for nature, he has committed himself to environmental protection all his life.
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构、固定句型。表示“出于对大自然的热爱”为介词短语out of his passion for nature，作状语，out of one’s passion“出于某人的热爱”是固定短语，介词for表示“对于”；根据句意可知，本句表达过去的动作一直持续到现在，用现在完成时，注意主谓一致，表示“他一直都致力于环境保护”为he has committed himself to environmental protection all his life，commit oneself to sth“致力于某事”是固定句型。句首字母大写，故可翻译为Out of his passion for nature, he has committed himself to environmental protection all his life.
49. 他因为工作压力过大，他患上抑郁症，这给我们所有人敲了一个警钟。(consequence；warning；非限制性定语从句) （汉译英）
【答案】He suffered from depression as a consequence of excessive pressure from work, which gave all of us a warning/ served as a warning to all of us.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词、名词和非限制性定语从句。表示“压力”应用名词pressure，表示“工作压力过大”为短语 excessive pressure from work，表示“抑郁症”应为名词depression，根据提示词consequence可知，患上抑郁症是遭受过大工作压力的结果，表示“他因为工作压力过大，他患上抑郁症”应为He suffered from depression as a consequence of excessive pressure from work，根据提示词warning和句意可知，这件事情给我们敲响了警钟，应使用which引导的非限制性定语从句，可表示为which gave all of us a warning/或which served as a warning to all of us。故翻译为He suffered from depression as a consequence of excessive pressure from work, which gave all of us a warning/ served as a warning to all of us.。
50. 他坚持说自己是无辜的，坚持要求经理向他道歉。(insist) （汉译英）
【答案】He insisted that he was innocent, and that the manager make an apology to him.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型。动词insist“坚持说”后接that引导的宾语从句用陈述语气；insist“坚决要求，坚持要求”后接that引导的宾语从句用虚拟语气。根据句意可知，主句描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时。表示“他坚持说自己是无辜的”为he insisted that he was innocent；表示“坚持要求经理向他道歉”用连词and连接that引导的宾语从句，为and that the manager (should) make an apology to him。句首字母大写，故可翻译为He insisted that he was innocent, and that the manager make an apology to him.
