1、高等院校英语入学分级测试三级分类模拟题 20 及答案解析(总分：100.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Part One Fast Readin(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Six Secrets of High-Energy PeopleThere“s an energy crisis in America, and it has nothing to do with fossil fuels. Millions of us get up each morning already weary over the day holds. “I just can“t get started,“ p
2、eople say. But it“s not physical energy that most of us lack. Sure, we could all use extra sleep and a better diet. But in truth, people are healthier today than at any time in history. I can almost guarantee that if you long for more energy, the problem is not with your body. What you“re seeking is
3、 not physical energy. It“s emotional energy. Yet, sad to say, life sometimes seems designed to exhaust our supply. We work too hard. We have family obligations. We encounter emergencies and personal crises. No wonder so many of us suffer from emotional fatigue, a kind of utter exhaustion of the spir
4、it. And yet we all know people who are filled with joy, despite the unpleasant circumstances of their lives. Even as a child, I observed people who were poor or disabled, or ill, but who nonetheless faced life with optimism and vigor. Consider Laura Hillenbrand, who, despite an extremely weak body,
5、wrote the best-seller Seabiscuit . Hillenbrand barely had enough physical energy to drag herself out of bed to write. But she was fueled by having a story she wanted to share. It was emotional energy that helped her succeed. Unlike physical energy, which is finite and diminishes with age, emotional
6、energy is unlimited and has nothing to do with genes or upbringing. So how do you get it? You can“t simply tell yourself to he positive. You must take action. Here are six practical strategies that work. 1. Do something new. Very little that“s new occurs in our lives. The impact of this sameness on
7、our emotional energy is gradual, hut huge: It“s like a tire with a slow leak. You don“t notice it at first, but eventually you“ll get a flat. It“s up to you to plug the leakeven though there are always a dozen reasons to stay stuck in your dull routines of life. That“s where Maura, 36, a waitress, f
8、ound herself a year ago. Fortunately, Maura had a lifelinea group of women friends who meet regularly to discuss their lives. Their lively discussions spurred Maura to make small but nevertheless life-altering changes. She joined a gym in the next town. She changed her look with a short haircut and
9、new black T-shirts. Eventually, Maura gathered the courage to quit her job and start her own business. Here“s a challenge: If it“s something you wouldn“t ordinarily do, do it. Try a dish you“ve never eaten. Listen to music you“d ordinarily tune out. You“ll discover these small things add to your emo
10、tional energy. 2. Reclaim life“s meaning. So many of my patients tell me that their lives used to have meaning, but that somewhere along the line things went stale. The first step in solving this meaning shortage is to figure out what you really care about, and then do something about it. A ease in
11、point is Ivy, 57, a pioneer in investment banking. “I mistakenly believed that all the money I made would mean something,“ she says. “But I feel lost, like a 22-year-old wondering what to do with her life.“ Ivy“s solution? She started a program that shows Wall Streeters how to donate time and money
12、to poor children. In the process, Ivy filled her life with meaning. 3. Put yourself in the fun zone. Most of us grown-ups are seriously fun-deprived. High-energy people have the same day-to-day work as the rest of us, but they manage to find something enjoyable in every situation. A real-estate brok
13、er I know keeps herself amused on the job by mentally redecorating the houses she shows to clients. “I love imagining what even the most run-down house could look like with a little tender loving care,“ she says. “It“s a challengeand the least desirable properties are usually the most fun.“ We all d
14、efine fun differently, of course, but I can guarantee this: If you put just a bit of it into your day, your energy will increase quickly. 4. Bid farewell to guilt and regret. Everyone“s past is filled with regrets that still cause pain. But from an emotional energy point of view, they are dead weigh
15、ts that keep us from moving forward. While they can“t merely be willed away, I do recommend you remind yourself that whatever happened is in the past, and nothing can change that. Holding on to the memory only allows the damage to continue into the present. 5. Make up your mind. Say you“ve been thin
16、king about cutting your hair short. Will it look stylishor too extreme? You endlessly think it over. Having the decision hanging over your head is a huge energy drain. Every time you can“t decide, you burden yourself with alternatives. Quit thinking that you have to make the right decision; instead,
17、 make a choice and don“t look back. 6. Give to get. Emotional energy has a kind of magical quality: the more you give, the more you get back. This is the difference between emotional and physical energy. With the latter, you have to get it to be able to give it. With the former, however, you get it
18、by giving it. Start by asking everyone you meet, “How are you?“ as if you really want to know, then listen to the reply. Be the one who hears. Most of us also need to smile more often. If you don“t smile at the person you love first thing in the morning, you“re sucking energy out of your relationshi
19、p. Finally, help another personand make the help real, concrete. Give a massage (按摩) to someone you love, or cook her dinner. Then, expand the circle to work. Try asking yourself what you“d do if your goal were to be helpful rather than efficient. After all, if it“s true that what goes around comes

But when you get it home you may find that it takes twice as long as a more expensive 5 to dry your hair. The cost of the electricity

37、day五、Part Three Reading C(总题数：0，分数：0.00)六、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：10.00)I recently wrote an autobiography in which I recalled many old memories. One of them was from my school days, when our ninth grade teacher, Miss Raber, would pick out words from the Reader“s Digest to test our vocabulary. Today, mo
38、re than 45 years later, I always check out “It pays to Enrich your Word Power“ first when the Digest comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power. Reader“s Digest knows the power that words have to move peopleto entertain, inform, and inspire. The Digest editors know that the big word
39、 isn“t always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote from the February 1985 issue: “Time is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk.“ Seventeen words, only two of them more than one syllable, yet how much they convey! That“s usually how it is with Rea
40、der“s Digest. Small and simple can be profound. As chairman of a foundation to restore the Statue of Liberty, I“ve been making a lot of speeches lately. I try to keep them fairly short. I use small but vivid words: words like “hope“, “guts“, “faith“, “dreams“. Those are words that move people and sa
41、y so much about the spirit of America. Don“t get me wrong. I“m not against using big words, when it is right to do so, but I have also learned that a small word can work a small miracleif it“s the right word, in the right place, at the right time. It“s a “secret“ that I hope I never forget.（分数：10.00

44、ret“ is _.（分数：2.00）A.to avoid using big words at any timeB.to use words that have the power to move peopleC.to work a miracle by using a small wordD.to use small and simple words where possible(5).According to the author, well-chosen words can give people _.（分数：2.00）A.hope, courage, and ideasB.confi

My rate would be $50,000 a month when my new media company started. So, I began looking arou
46、nd for individuals who would be my first investors. “Angel money“ it was called. But when I reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might he able to help, I found the number got small. With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I was warned they took a
47、 huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if you struggled, they could drop you cold. As I was searching for “angel money“, I started to build a team who trusted me even though I didn“t have money for paychecks yet. Bill Becker was an expert in computer programming and image process
48、ing at a very famous Media Lab at M. I.T. With his arrival, my company suddenly had a major technology “guy“ in-house. Katherine Henderson, a filmmaker and a former real-estate dealer, joined us as our director of market research. Steve White came on as operating officer. He had worked for the devel
49、oper of a home-finance software, Quicken. We grabbed him. We had some really good people, but we still didn“t have enough money. One night, my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good business at the time. Louise was brilliant and missed nothing. She had been watching my progress closely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no guar
