I sat back and started to register a sense of achievement: I was act

11、ually reading Chinese. The language was starting to make sense. But before the sense of satisfaction was half formed，Teacher Liao said, “Budui！”It meant, literally, “Not correct.”You could also translate it as “no” “wrong” “nope” “uhuh” and “flatly and clearly incorrect”. There were many Chinese wor

12、ds that I didnt know，but I knew that one well.A voice in my head whined “All of the rest of them were right；isnt that worth something？”But for Teacher Liao it didnt work like that. If one character was wrong, it was simply budui.“Whats this word？” I asked, pointing at the character I had missed.“Zhe

13、the zhe in Zhejiang.”“The third tone？”“The fourth tone.”I breathed deeply and read the section again, and this time I did it perfectly. That was a victoryI turned to Teacher Liao and my eyes said (or at least I imagined them saying )“How do you like me now？” There seemed to be some satisfaction in h

14、er eyes, but she simply said, “Read the next one.”It was her way of teaching.Success was expected and failure was criticized and immediately corrected.You were right or you were budui；there was no middle ground.I grew to hate budui. The bu was a rising tone and the dui dropped abruptly, just as my c

15、onfidence was built and then it broke down all at once.And it bothered me all the more because I knew that Teacher Liao was only telling the truth：Everything I did with the language was budui. I was an adult, and as an adult I should be able to accept criticism where it was needed. But that wasnt th

16、e American way；I wanted to be praised for my effort；I didnt mind criticism as long as it was candycoated. For Teacher Liao, the single B on the report card matters much more than all the As that surround it: Keep working; you havent achieved anything yet.And so I worked harder. I was frustrated but

17、I was also stubborn; I was determined to show Teacher Liao that I was dui.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述作者在学习汉语时遇到了一位汉语老师，她的教授方式不同于美国人的教授方式，由此引发了作者的一番感想。4Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “whined” in Paragraph 3?ABurst out. BGave in.CReturned. DComplained.D词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“All of the res

18、t of them were right；isnt that worth something？”可知，作者脑海中的声音是：其他汉字都读对了，难道这不值一提吗？由此可知，此处应是作者的抱怨，故选D项。5What did the author expect from Teacher Liao after he tried again?AImmediate correction.BA new challenge.CAn encouraging response.DA strict comment.C推理判断题。根据第八段中的“. I turned to Teacher Liao and my eye

23、wo pressure parameters (参数)，delivering reliable and accurate measurement of plant operations. The unique aspect of this digital technology is that it measures two parameters in one sensor module, providing additional insight into a plants operations. It is the only sensor in the world that does this

24、.DPharp transmitters (发射机) use silicon (硅) resonant (谐振的) sensor technology to measure both differential (差别)and still pressure. The sensor consists of two Hshaped crystal silicon resonators that shake at a certain frequency and, when pressure is applied, the frequency of one resonator increases whi

25、le the other decreases. By monitoring these frequencies digitally, both differential and still pressure can be measured at the same time. The frequency output is directly read by the central processing unit of the transmitter.DPharp can be used in any processing plant across any industryoil and gas

26、to food and drinks. DPharps unique digital sensing technology allows engineering firms and plant engineers to create designs that will equate to an average reduction of 40 percent. Where they would typically use five measuring devices, they are using three by using the multisensing technology. That

27、is a significant cost reduction in the number of devices installed and the added benefit is that, as there are less devices, the engineering and design is less complex, which means less materials and less equipment to maintain. Furthermore, there are fewer transmitter spares required，which reduces c

30、BThe central processing unit of the transmitter.CMonitoring devices.DThe operator of the plant.B细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The frequency output is directly read by the central processing unit of the transmitter.”可知，频率输出由发射机的中央处理单元直接读取。10What is the plants attitude to DPharp?ACautious. BAmbiguous.CFavorable. DD

31、isapproving.C推理判断题。根据最后一段第二、三句可知，差压变送器独特的数字传感技术使工程公司和工厂工程师能够创造出相当于平均减少40%的设计。他们通常会使用五个测量设备，但他们通过使用多传感技术，仅用三个测量设备就可以了。由此可推知，工厂对差压变送器的态度是支持的。11What is the text mainly about?AHow DPharp is bringing value across production plants.BHow sensor works in a different way.CWhy DPharp is efficient and reliable

32、.DWhere DPharp can be used.A主旨大意题。通读全文内容尤其最后一段最后一句“Tony Farah，Product Manager，said that more organisations are seeing the significant benefits of smart devices like DPharp.”可知，本文主要介绍了差压变送器为生产工厂带来的价值。DLast year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 55million people in the U. S. are “gig worke

33、rs” which are more than 35 percent of the U. S. workforce. That number is projected to jump to 43 percent by 2020.People are drawn to gig work(零工)because it brings in a little extra income without a major time commitment. And recent technologies like Skype, Slack, and Dropbox have made the gig life

34、a reality, giving you maximum freedom, an ideal worklife balance，and the chance to pursue your passions.If youre thinking of joining the gig economy its never been easier. One of the great things about the gig economy is that you dont have a boss breathing down your neck. As a freelancer, you no lon

35、ger have to cater to a company culture or work schedule that might cause physical or emotional stress.Instead，you get to choose the type of work you do and who you work with. But this degree of freedom requires a corresponding amount of discipline. With no boss to make sure youre on task, its all on

36、 you.A lot of gig workers start their careers by hopping on a project because the employer is desperate and in need of help. On the employers end，its tough to take on people for higher management positions when the pool of talent is full of gig workers who havent been given an opportunity to improve

37、 their skills. Businesses have to evolve to learn how to account for an influx(涌入)of temporary workers. It is harder for gig workers to become skilled and get promoted.The workforce is becoming more advanced and educated by the day. You have to keep learning and keep up with industry trends to maint

38、ain a competitive edge. This is true even for people in traditional office settings, but its critical if youre your own boss.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了零工经济的优势和劣势。12What made the gig life a reality?AAn ideal worklife balance.BNew technologies.CA little extra money.DMaximum freedom.B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“And rece

44、 choices can be made.What dont kids need? 18 Too much focus on overweight leads toward more weight gain.A new data analysis of two studies found that children whose parents considered them to be “overweight” tended to gain more weight over 10 years than children whose parents considered them “normal

45、 weight”. Children whose parents label them as “overweight” had a negative selfperception about their bodies. They were engaged in more attempts to lose weight. 19 The clear message from this study is that dieting is more likely to lead to weight gain, not weight loss, in both children and adults. P

46、sychology researchers Eric Robinson and Angelina Sutin argue that the stigma of being labeled overweight as a child might actually gain weight in the future. 20 For the study, childrens height and weight were measured at age 4 or 5, and parents were asked to describe whether they thought the childre

47、n were best described as underweight, normal weight, overweight or very overweight. When the children were 12 or 13, they used images to best depict what they perceived their bodies to look like and were asked whether or not they engaged in any dieting behavior. Height and weight measurements were t
