My business
has to come before sleep
The
moment
I
fall
into
bed
at
around
10.30pm,
I’m
dead
to
the
world
...
until
－
ping!
－
it’s 3 a.m. and
I’m wide
awake.
I
instantly
check
my
phone
and
spend
the
next
40
minutes
in
bed
(25)
________
(answer)
emails on my
computer. By 4 a.m., my brain is in overdrive and
there is only one thing for
it: to get
up and start working.
I
know
most
people
are
foggy
at
this
time,
but
I
find
the
early
morning
to
be

period of great creativity. I get more
done in those few hours than the rest of the day,
(27) ________ I’m constantly
interrupted.
People ask (28)
________ I find time to run a business, prepare
presentations, write
books, network
with clients and raise a family. Well, this is the
answer: by having only
four-and-a-half
hours of sleep.
Yes, I probably (29)
________ just about do everything if I got up at
6.30 a.m., but
it would mean working in
the evening when I need to spend time with my
family. I have lots
of friends with the
same problem. We have what
we jokingly
call “
Insomniacs
(
失眠症患者
)
Group”
on
Facebook,

i
n

The Renaissance
(
文艺复兴
)
For
many
people,
the
Renaissance
means
14th
to
16th
century
Italy,
and
the
developments
in art and
architecture, music and literature which took
place there all that time. But
there is
one work which, perhaps more than any other, (33)
________ (express) the spirit
of the

(paint)
by
Leonardo
da
Vinci
in
the
years
1503-1506,
the
Mona
Lisa
is
a
mysterious
masterpiece. People want to know who
Mona Lisa is, and why
she is
smiling. (36) ________
________ people
do not know much about the Renaissance, they have
heard of this painting.
The Renaissance
was a time of scientific invention, too. Leonardo,
as well as being
one
of
the
greatest
painters
the
world
has
ever
known,
was
also
a
skilled
inventor.
Wherever
he went, he carried a notebook around
with him, (37) ________ ________ he wrote down his

They
included
detailed
drawings
of
the

engineers

build
canals
and
bridges, and (38) ________(astonish) drawings of
machines which were not to be built
until hundreds of years later, such as
aeroplanes,
parachutes
(
降落伞
),
submarines
(
潜水
艇
) and
tanks. Towards the end of his life he (39)
________ (employ) by the King of France
to do scientific research, and he did
not have a lot of time for painting. In short, he
was
an
extraordinary
genius,
an
example
of
what
has
been
described
as
“
Renaissance
man
”
:
someone interested in (40) ________ and
with many different talents.
Section B
Directions:
Complete the
following passage by using the words in the box.
Each word can
only be used once. Note
that there is one word more than you need.
A. delivery B.
alternative C. enormously D. floating E.
analyzed F.
process
G.

Everyone
knows
that
the
Internet
has
changed
how
business operate, governments function
and people live.
However, a new, less
41 technological trend is just
as
transformative:
“
big
data.
”
Big
data
starts
with
the
fact
that there is a lot more information 42 around
these days than ever before and it is
being put to extraordinary new uses.
Consider language translation, for
example. When IBM first started to work on machine
translation in the 1990s, it just fed a
small number of high-quality translation into a
computer
and
programmed
it
to
infer
which
word
in
one
language
is
the
best 43
for
another.
Although
this 44 revolutionized
the
task
of
translation,
the
result
was
far
from
being
perfect.
Then,
in
2006,
Google
burst
in.
Instead
of
millions
of
pages
of
texts,
the
search
giant
45 billions, from corporate websites to
documents in every language from the
European Union. The result is that its
translations are much better than
IBM
’
s were and
it
covers
65
languages.
Large
amounts
of 46 data
defeated
small
amounts
of
cleaner
data.
Another good example of how big data
can be 47 helpful is online shopping. Using
data collected from customer shopping
habits, today, Amazon can 48 who
is most likely
to
purchase
what
and
when.
Details
such
as
your
history
and
wish
list
help
the
company
gain
a
glimpse
(
一瞥
)
into
your
interests.
Goods
will
then
be
dispatched
to
a
logistics
center
(
物
流中心
) near you
and get packed before you even order, meaning that
when you do make an
online purchase,
same-day 49 would be possible.
With
big data, instead of trying to understand exactly
why an engine breaks down or
why a
drug
’
s side effect
disappears, researchers can instead collect and
analyze massive
quantities of
information about such events and everything that
is associated with them,
looking for
50 that might help predict future occurrences.
Big
data
answers
not
why
but
what.
Finally,
it
will
mark
the
moment
when
the
“information
society
”
finally fulfills
the promise implied by its name.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions:
For
each
blank
in
the
following
passage
there
are
four
words
or
phrases
marked
A,
B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or
phrase that best fits the context.
Are we too slow to praise and quick to
blame? It seems we are.
Praise
is
like
sunlight
to
the
human
spirit;
we
cannot
flower
and
grow
without
it.
And
yet,
we
are
somehow 51 to
give
our
fellows
the
warm
sunshine
of
praise.
To
make
matters
worse, most of us
are only too ready to apply to others the cold
wind of 52 .
It’s strange how
chary
(
吝啬的) we are
about praising. Perhaps it’s because few of
us know how to accept compliments
gracefully. 53 ,
we are embarrassed
and
shrug off
(
不
予理睬
) the words we are really
so glad to hear. Because of this 54 reaction,
direct
compliments are surprisingly
difficult to give. That is why some of the most
valued pats
on the back are those which
come to us 55 , in a letter or passed on by a
friend. When
one thinks of the speed
with which
spiteful
(
< br>恶意的
) remarks are conveyed, it seems
a pity
that there isn’
t more
effort to pass 56 comments.
It’s
especially
rewarding
to
give
praise
in
areas
where
effort
generally
goes
unnoticed
or
57 . An artist gets complimented for a glorious
picture, a cook for a perfect meal.
But
do you ever tell your 58
manager
how pleased you are when the shirts are done just
right?
Praise
is
particularly
appreciated
by
those
doing
59 jobs:
gas-station
attendants,
waitresses
－
even
housewives. Do you ever go into a house and say,
“What a tidy room”?
Hardly
anybody
does.
Shakespeare
said,
“Our
praises
are
our
wages.”
Since
so
often
praise
is the only 60 a housewife
receives, surely she of all people should get her
measure.
Teachers agree about the value
of praise. One teacher writes that instead of
drowning
students’ compositions in
critical
red ink, the teacher
will get
far more
61 results
by finding
one or two things which have been done better than
last time, and commenting
62
on them. “I believe that a student
knows when he has handed in something above his
usual standard,” writes the teacher,
“and that he waits
hungrily for a brief
comment in
the
margin
(
空白处
) to show him that
the teacher is
aware of it,
too.”
To
give
praise 63
the
giver
nothing
but
a
moment's
thought
and
a
moment’s
effort.
It is such a small 64
.
And yet consider the results it may produce. “I
can live for
two months on a good
comp
liment,” said Mark Twain. So, let’s
be
65 to the small
excellences
around
us
—
and
comment
on
them.
We
will
not
only
bring
joy
into
other
people’s
lives, but also,
very often, add happiness into our own.

Section B
Directions:
Read
the
following
three
passages.
Each
passage
is
followed
by
several
questions
or unfinished statements. For each of
them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.
Choose the one that fits best according
to the information given in the passage you have
just read.
(A)
Dad,
I’m writing to you as
I feel it’s been quite a while since we last spoke
(two years
to be exact, you hung up on
me). So how is Germany? How old are your other
children now?
What have you been up to
this year? I finished my A-levels this summer. But
enough small
talk. On our European road
trip in the summer, the journey took us close to
your house and
I asked Mum and my
stepdad if we could pay a visit so that I could
see you. Outside your
house, I couldn’t
bring myself to get out of the car and knock on
the door.
I’ve tried so many
diffe
rent forms of communication
－
email, the phone and I
also
suggested Skype. Yet I still can’t
get through to you.
My mum,
stepdad and I sat around the table trying to work
out why I had felt unable
to knock on
your door that day. At last it came to me. I
think, perhaps subconsciously,
I was
saving myself the grief of your response.
Why can’t your parental obligations
stretch to all three of your children, not just
your two recent ones? In our previous
conversations, which ended suddenly, as your older
son
ne
eded
to
be
put
to
bed,
I’d
ask
you
how
he
was
doing
at
school,
and
you’d
talk
about
the weather. No one listening would be
able to tell there was any difference between our
relationship and one you might have
with a neighbour.
