A.Being unique.B.Being adaptable.C.Being qualified.D.Being loyal.【答案】（1）A（2）D（3）C（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了比起文憑和學(xué)歷，谷歌更看重什么。（1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Experience has taught him there are exceptional kids at many other places, from state schools in California to New York.”可知Bock的意思是經(jīng)驗告訴他，在一些別的地方，比如加利福尼亞或紐約的公立學(xué)校中，也會有一些天賦超常的人才，故選A。（2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)“Brainteasers: Gone are interview questions such as: Why are manhole covers（井蓋)round? or How many golf balls can fit in a school bus?‘Our research tells us those questions are a waste of time,’Bock said‘They39。re a really coachable skill. The more you practice, you get better at it.’”智力問答：谷歌不再出這樣的面試題了：為什么井蓋是圓的？或者是：多少個高爾夫球能裝滿一輛校車？博克說：“我們的調(diào)查顯示，這么問純粹是浪費時間。因為這些是能夠通過訓(xùn)練提高的技能，你練習(xí)得越多，就能答得更好?！庇纱送茢喑觥案采w德克薩斯州需要多少衛(wèi)生紙”這是一個腦筋急轉(zhuǎn)彎，故選D。（3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)“Leaders:The idea is not whether you were president of the student body or vice president of the bank,but rather:‘When you see a problem do you step in,help solve it,’and then critically，‘Are you willing to step out and let somebody else take over，and make room for somebody else?Are you willing to give up power?’”這不是說你得是學(xué)生會主席或是銀行副總理，而是“當你遇到問題時能不能介入，幫助解決問題”。然后是眼光要犀利，“可以退出來讓別人接管嗎？能夠讓位于別人嗎？可以放棄權(quán)力嗎？”，由此可知依據(jù)谷歌的說法，一個愿意退讓的人是一個合格的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，故選C。（4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)Googleyness: That39。s what Google calls its cultural fit. It39。s not‘Are you like us?’Bock said.‘We actually look for people who are different，because diversity gives us great ideas.’” 這點被谷歌稱作文化契合度。它并不是“你和我們一樣嗎？”博克說：“事實上，我們在尋找和我們不一樣的人，因為多樣性能給谷歌帶來卓越的想法。由此推知獨一無二的人是具有谷歌精神的人，故選A。【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，要求考生準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。3．閱讀理解 Kyle Cassidy and three other members of the Annenberg Running Group were stretching on the grounds of the University of Pennsylvania, waiting for a few lateers. The Penn colleagues and other munity members meet three days a week for a roughly 30minute jog and an occasional lecture. That39。s right― during some runs, one of them delivers a talk. Topics range from the brain to Bitcoin. But on this day last January, it would not be their normal run. The first clue that something was off was the man who sprinted past them. Running at an amazing pace, Cassidy told Runner39。s World admiringly. Cassidy discovered why the sprinter was so fleet of foot when another man ran by, yelling, Help! He took my phone and laptop! At that, the group did what running clubs do: They ran, trailing the suspect down the streets of Philadelphia until he ducked into a construction site. The runners split up. Cassidy ran around to the far side of the site to cut the thief off while the others wandered the neighborhood hoping he had dumped the loot (贓物)in a backyard. No luck. So they decided to ask residents whether they39。d seen the guy. When they knocked on the door of one row house, they were in for a surprise. Unknown to them, he had already emerged from the construction site—and was hiding behind a bush by that very house. As the owner opened the door, the suspect darted out from behind the bush ... and right into the arms of campus police, who39。d joined the chase shortly behind the runners. The members of this running group are not hardcore athletes. But they do understand the benefit of a little exercise. 39。39。Running is typically a useless sport where you turn fat cells into heat, Cassidy told The Philadelphia Inquirer. But occasionally it can be useful, and here was one of those opportunities.（1）Why do the group members gather together? do some stretching. have a regular run. deliver a lecture. cover some topics.（2）What does the underlined word sprinted in Paragraph 2 probably mean? ....（3）We can infer that the success of the chase is mainly due to____ . assistance of the runners owner of the row house campus police on patrol joint efforts of the people（4）Which of the following best describes Cassidy? and generous. and ambitious. and humorous. and demanding.【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）D（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，講述了跑步俱樂部成員和校園警察等眾人合力將搶了別人電話和筆記本電腦的嫌犯抓獲的故事。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“The Penn colleagues and other munity members meet three days a week for a roughly 30minute jog and an occasional lecture.”賓州大學(xué)的同事和其他社區(qū)成員每周集結(jié)三天，進行大約30分鐘的慢跑，可知，小組成員聚在一起是為了進行常規(guī)的跑步，故選B。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第二段中的“Running at an amazing pace,”可知，這個人跑的速度非?？?，應(yīng)該是從他們的身邊疾馳而過，由此可知畫線詞詞義為“猛沖”，故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“At that, the group did what running clubs do: They ran, trailing the suspect down the streets of Philadelphia until he ducked into a construction site.”及第四段中的“As the owner opened the door, the suspect darted out from behind the bush ... and right into the arms of campus police, who39。d joined the chase shortly behind the runners.”等細節(jié)描寫可知，眾人（跑步俱樂部成員和校園警察等）合力將搶了別人電話和筆記本電腦的嫌犯抓獲，故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Cassidy ran around to the far side of the site to cut the thief off”可知，劫案發(fā)生后，卡西迪馬上投入到對嫌犯的追捕之中，這說明他樂于助人；再根據(jù)最后一段中的“‘Running is typically a useless sport where you turn fat cells into heat,’Cassidy told The Philadelphia Inquirer. ‘But occasionally it can be useful, and here was one of those opportunities.’”卡西迪對記者說“跑步通常是一項無用的運動，你可以將脂肪細胞轉(zhuǎn)化為熱量，但偶爾也會有用，這就是其中一個機會”，這是一種詼諧的說法，說明他很幽默，可知，卡西迪既樂于助人又有幽默感，故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 Customers who e into the Waffle House recognize server Evoni Williams, a softspoken 18yearold from Texas City. It all started with a Facebook post. On the morning of March 3, Laura Wolf was eating breakfast at the Waffle House in La Marque when she overheard an older man, who reminded her of her late father, tell Williams he had trouble with his hands. The man, later identified as regular customer Adrien Charpentier, had an oxygen tank nearby and needed help cutting up his food. “Without hesitation,” Wolf wrote, Williams “took his plate and began cutting up his ham.” Impressed, Wolf posted the moment on her Facebook page to share the warmth and kindness with all. The following day, Williams39。s Facebook notification（關(guān)注）began to light up. Her friends saw Wolf39。s post and tracked her in it.160
