1、Fighting for a Brighter Future for WomenWhen I was asked what it means to be a woman running for president, I always gave the same answer that I was proud to be running as a woman, but I was running because thought I\'d be the best president.But I am a woman and, like millions of women, I know there are still barriers and biases (偏见) out there, often unconscious, and I want to build an America that respects and embraces the potential of every last one of us.I ran as a daughter who benefited from opportunities my mother never dreamed of. I ran as a mother who worried about my daughter\'s future and a mother who wants to leave all children brighter tomorrows.To build that future I see, we must make sure that women and men understand the struggles of their grandmothers and their mothers, and that women enjoy equal opportunities, equal pay, and equal respect.Let us resolve and work toward achieving very simple propositions (命题): there are no acceptable limits, and there are no acceptable prejudices in the 21 st century in our country.You can also be so proud of it, from now on, it will be unremarkable for a woman to win primary state victories, unremarkable to let a woman in a close race to be our nominee (被提名者), unremarkable to think that a woman can be the president of the United States. And this is truly remarkable my friends.We are disappointed that we couldn\'t go all of the way, especially the young people who put so much into this campaign. It would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours.We always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. And when you stumble (绰倒), keep faith. And, when you\'re knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can\'t or shouldn\'t go on.As we gather here today in this historic, magnificent building, the 50th woman will leave the Earth and orbit (绕轨道运行) overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House.Hillary Clinton was elected president of the United States.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题的难度较大，需要通读全文做出判断。有考生根据新闻常识记忆，希拉里·克林顿不是美国总统，选了B，从而失分。要严格按照文章的本意来选择答案。第一段谈到I（希拉里）参加了总统选举，但是全文没有提及被选为美国总统的事情，所以本题是未提及的，答案是C。

C.excited

D.moved

正确答案:A

答案解析:这座城市发生的大变化使所有的参观者惊讶。本题难度不大，干扰项干扰不强。astonished和surprised都可指“吃惊的”，B项指“使惊吓”，最佳答案是A。

3、Travel Across AfricaFor six hours we shot through the barren (荒芜的) landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I\'d bought in a market in Mozambique.Southern Africa was full of stories and visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring (咆哮) of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.And then the other things, dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto livng in one room, a kilometre from clean water.As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty and we hadn\'t seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye. Something moved close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn\'t know how long they had been there next to us.I shouted to Dan: "Look!" But he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened."Wild horses?" he said. "Why didn\'t you wake me up, Sophia?""I tried, but they were gone after a few seconds.""Are you sure you didn\'t dream it?""You were the one who was sleeping!""Typical," he said, "The best photos are the ones we never take."We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.While driving Daniel and Sophia saw wild horses.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题难度不大，认真阅读文章后半部分不难找到答案。答案依据是，例如，这一句：I shouted to Dan: "Look!" But he was in a deep sleep...。

4、Practically all animals communicate either through sounds or through soundless codes.【单选题】

A.Certainly

B.Probably

C.Almost

D.Absolutely

正确答案:C

答案解析:差不多所有动物都能或通过声音或通过无声的方式进行交流。本题有一定难度，虽然选项都是常用副词，但干扰项干扰较大。practically和almost都有“几乎，差不多”的意思，是近义词。A项指“肯定地”，B项指“可能”，D项指“绝对地”，最佳答案是C。

5、Money or Friendship or Both1. Friends and money don\'t mix. It\'s a dangerous combination since a fight over money is one of the fastest ways to end a friendship. But what if a friend asks you to tend him or her some money? If you don\'t lend your friend the money, you risk losing the friend. If you do lend your friend the money, you risk losing both the friendship and your money.2. We have to face facts, so here are some situations you might run across with your buddies (伙伴) and some helpful tips (忠告) on how to deal with them. Thinking about why this person needs to borrow in the first place. If he is always living beyond his means, it is his fault, not yours. Any Sensible person would not put himself in a position of debt so often. So simply say "no" to this friend. Even if your friend really needs that money for emergency use and you are willing to help him, before you dive into your pocket, follow this reality check: Do you have the extra money? Are you sure you don\'t need it? Are you willing to write off that amount if it\'s not returned? If your answers are negative, do yourself a favor and say "no".3. Let\'s assume you can\'t stand saying "no" to your friend because you don\'t want him living off cat food. What do you do? Write down these details on a sheet of paper before opening up your wallet:Amount of the loan.Date of the loan.Time of repayment.Amount of interest (if any).Lender\'s and borrower\'s signature.This will at least keep the borrower from forgetting the loan so easily, If your friend\'s loan is past due, it\'s important that you ask him－and it\'s actually not rude. The longer you wait, the more you are brood (忧伤), and the more your resentment builds.4. You can send him a friendly reminder via E - mail. Tell him something like "I\'m going over my bank account and I\'m just wondering when we\'ll be able to settle that money thing." E - mail saves you from an uncomfortable face - to - face confrontation. There is almost no chance of turning a bad reaction into an argument. Unlike a public conversation, an E - mail message will always be private.5. After asking two or three times, you might have to write it off. That\'s what happens. If he just doesn\'t have the money or is unwilling, then what kind of friend is that?If your friend refuses to return the money ____. 【单选题】

A.you can remind your friend of it via E - mail

B.you can lend more money to him or her

C.you must get to know why he or she needs that money

D.if you should lend money to your friend

E.you can call the police to settle the issue

F.there is no need to maintain a friendly relation with him or her

正确答案:F

答案解析:本题难度也不大，答案依据不难找到。答案依据在最后一段。最后一段这一句，after asking two or three times, you might have to write it off and the friendship with it，谈到在两三次要账未成后，就可以结束友谊了，回来看选项，F项符合文章句意，是答案。
