A. Fight high anxiety
B. Oxiacetam—a magic drug D. Problems on high-altitude sites
C. Keep sharp at altitude 【答案】C
【解析】主旨大意题。本文首段讲 smart drug“健脑药”帮助缓解 altitude sickness“高原反应”，中间段 落按顺序叙述了“高原反应”的症状、专家们针对“高原反应”所做的实验及其结果、“高原反应”的原 因等，结尾段再次提到 oxiracetam 这种健脑药可帮助缓解“高原反应”。文章整体围绕“高原反应”展 开，所以 C 最恰当。
【点评】C 篇科技文围绕“高原反应”展开，整体篇幅不长，生词稍多，难度中等。主要考察考生对 细节题的理解，需要准确定位并作出准确的判断。
D
If you read The Fault in our stars only to find a young adult romance of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters, then you definitely underestimate the power of sophisticated symbolism, emotions, and literature John Green offers. I remember someone saying “You don’t read a great book; i t re ads you. ” The fault in our stars is one of those books. It gives you the concept of what cancers are like, of how children in particular fight them, reveals and reminds you of your first love in life, always the youngest and the most innocent. I will resist my urge to tell you the plot and spoil the whole story, but I promise you every single page here is worth a great deal of excitement, humor and a bunch of other stuff listed down here which I think are interesting.
The book gives lives to where we find deaths. The joy of living comes in when terminal cancer is nothing more than just, “a side effect of dying”, when you can laugh in the misfortunes of disease and say “ I?m on a rollercoaster that only goes up, my friend.” The fault in our stars, however, stars with Hazel?s “depression” like many of us starts a new day. Thus, Hazel?s mother wants her cancer-stricken daughter to have a life, putting her in the Support Group. Later on, Issac and Augustus give her hope and something to believe in. The friendship tied by the shared intellectual curiosity and dreams. The story is so carefully plotted that even though Hazel doesn?t go to school like other kids, her life is so in touch with ours. Everyone in a while will feel as if everything goes wrong, that it sucks at being what it?s supposed to be. Bad grades, getting dumped, or even having a terminal disease. “The pain demands to be felt.” But after all, how long should it take us to give sufferings a break is subject to be viewed personally, since it would determine whether or not we become a type of Peter Van Houten, Hazel?s favorite writer in the novel.
John Green also cares about your dreams and ambitions. As you read through chapters, especially toward the end, you will find out Hazel and Augustus have widely different ideas of what they think is a “good life.” Here I find a reflection of my soul in Augustus?s, with all his desire to leave a mark on the world. Such a guy he is seeking for glories and meanings of life, fearing most oblivion. Others may find themselves, in contrast, caring not about recognition. They are like Hazel Grace, seeing heroism as an act of noticing and
loving and sharing. Both ideas are beautiful and proofed to be fearless to be together despite any mental or physical challenges lying on their way to the pursuit of happiness.
① “Apparently, the world is not a wish-granting factory.” The book embraces the restless,
innocent desires of young minds. ② Would you care for a trip to Amsterdam when you?re at the 4th
stage of cancer to find out what happens after the end of your favorite book? Would you dare to love the dying, to be okay to love when you?re dying, or to forgive yourself for hurting those who love you in case you die?
③_ In the book, you will find John Green mentions about how “some infinities are greater than
other infinities,” which means, I think, infinities can be defined, expanded and shrunk. _ ④
Infinities are
created by taking chances, and if we fail while doing so, then the fault is simply in out stars, not ourselves.
Funny, romantic, unputdownable and profound, The fault in our stars is definitely one of the best young adult fiction books in the century. It may touch the readers in many different ways. In here some will find humor, some will find encouragement, and some will find a book as a bond for a new love story. But if you insist that you only want to read a good love story in The fault of in our stars, that?s fine too. It?s an excellent book that reminds us of those who are important. 65. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 implies
A. readers? views tend to vary on the same book
B. readers choose books based on their tastes C. books are created to cater to different needs
D. books can reflect readers? life 【答案】D
【解析】推断判断题。根据第 1 段划线部分后句子的判断可知，The fault in our star“s
是这样一类书”，
则下文 It 就是指代“这一类书”。下文 It gives you 后面的句子就是对这类书的描述，其中包括了重 大疾病、特殊的斗争和生命里的爱。这些是生命中的一个个部分。所以 D 选项是正确的。
66. According to John Green, what is the basis for the friendship between Hazel and Augustus?
A. Dreaming of the same good life.
B. Suffering from the common disease.
C. Being curious and enterprising in life.
D. Being attracted to each other for uniqueness. 【答案】C
【解析】推断判断题。定位文章第 2 段第 6 行，“The friendship tied by the shared intellectual curiosity and dreams.”译为“他们的友谊由他们共有的求知欲和梦想连结。”正确答案为 C，对生命中的一切有好 奇心和进取心。
67. The author believes that he is somewhat like
C. Augustus
D. Peter Van Houten
A. Hazel 【答案】C
B. Issac
【解析】推断判断题。定位文章第 3 段第 3 行，“Here I find a reflection of my soul in Augustus?s.”译 为“在 Augustus 这里我发现我的灵魂的映像。”说明作者发现自己的感受与 Augustus 的观点相像。 68. Where does the sentence “We can all learn a lot from how Hazel and Augustus take chances and make the best out of them.” belong?
A. ① 【答案】B
【解析】这题是要求把一个句子放入到某段合适的位置中，首先要提取句子中的关键信息，再去段 落中对应。本句中关键词“take chances”和“make the best out of them”，那么回第四段去找他们如 何 take chances，定位到②后面讲到他们在 Hazel 癌症晚期还去阿姆斯特丹去解开心中对于一本书的 疑团，所以可以把题干中的句子放在②处。
B. ② C. ③ D. ④
69. What is to blame if we fail to create infinities?
A. Our luck. 【答案】A
B. Our desire. C. Our ability. D. Our identity.
【解析】细节定位题。根据 infinities 定位到第四段倒数第三行开始，然后读到本段最后一句“if we fail while doing so, then the fault is simply in our stars, not ourselves”，意思是如果我们尽力了，那么失误或 者失败就不在于我们自己而在于 stars，这里的 stars 意思就是 luck。
70. Who is the book The fault in our stars mainly intended for?
A. Patients with terminal diseases.
B. Kids wishing for a bright future.
C. Adults recalling their golden days.
D. Teenagers with some life experience. 【答案】D
【解析】这题问这本书的读者主要是哪类人群，做这类题目不像细节题，只要定位到某段某个地方 就可以，这类题需要在阅读全文时注意捕捉里面的信息得出答案。第二段第八行“her life is so in touch with ours”这里的 ours 就是关键信息，我们只需弄懂 ours 具体指哪类人就可以。在下面一行“Bad grades, getting
dumped, or even having a terminal disease.”这些经历可以指向选项 D，有着一些生活经验的青 少年。
【点评】D 篇是一篇书名为 The fault in our stars《星云里的错》的书评。整体篇幅较长，题目难度中 等偏下，需要考生耐心阅读文章，定位正确方可获得正确答案。68、70 题稍有难度，需要句子所在 文章前后文推敲才能正确理解。

Everything we do involves risk. In our professional lives, trying to avoid risk is itself a risk: work too cautiously, and we risk missing the chance to grow and shine, and our careers may suffer for it.
We cannot avoid risk yet we often avoid thinking about it. That is a shame, because if we think strategically about risk, we can use it to increase our chances of coming through difficult situations with our goals intact. Rather than pretending risk doesn?t exist, why not learn to manage it to our own benefit?
The first step: Acknowledge the risks your projects face. Start by writing a list of the things that can go wrong. That may sound gloomy, but it?s essential. Your list need to be very thorough, and probably never can be. But try to identify common risks-like the departure of a key colleague for a new job or the failure of a new technique upon which your project depends. The types of risks you identify will depend on the specifics of your work.
Once you have a list of risks, evaluate each one in two scales:
Likelihood. Force yourself to honestly assess how likely each risk is.
Impact. Then think about how much damage could occur under each situation.
Now it?s time to draft a second, more-detailed list. Go back through your initial list and consider how you might make each potential negative outcome less likely to occur, and also how you might minimize the damage to your project if one does happen. In project-management term, this step is known as risk mitigation. A mitigation is anything that makes a risk less likely to spoil your overall goal.
Once you have drafted your list of mitigations, the final step is to go down that list and think about which ones are “worth it”. Look at all the information you?ve gathered about your risks and mitigations, and make a call about what it makes sense to do. You probably have more intuition in this area than you realize, because most of us instinctively do risk-mitigation calculations in the nonwork areas of our lives. For instance, every time you decide whether or not to buy a guarantee on a new electronic toy, you?re doing this calculation in your head.
You have probably been intuitively doing some sort of risk analysis in your work life, too. Moving to a more explicit analysis (but one that is more qualitative than quantitative-unless you like to play with numbers)
can encourage you to acknowledge when you?re making overly optimistic assumptions. And this gives you a better chance to make plans that will withstand the failure of at least a couple of those assumptions.
Bringing your risk analysis out from the field of intuition can also help you overcome a tendency to overly ignore risk. It is easier to go ahead and take a big risk when you know that you have mitigations in place and a backup plan if things go wrong.
Thinking about risk can be a big scary, but really, ignoring risk is the riskiest behavior of all.
