1 Ford’s great strength was the manufacturing process--not invention．Long before he started a car company，he was a worker, known for picking up pieces of metal and wire and turning them into machines．He started putting cars together in 1 89 1, although it was by no means the first popular automobile，the Model T showed the world just how creative Ford was at combining technology and market． 2 The company’s assembly line alone threw America’s Industrial Revolution into overdrive (高速运转)．Instead of having workers put together the entire car, Ford’s friends，who were great toolmakers from Scotland，organized teams that added parts to each Model T as it moved down a line．By the time Ford’s Highland Park plant was humming(嗡嗡作响)along in 1914，the world’s first automatic conveyor belt could turn out a car every 93 minutes． 3 The same year Henry Ford shocked the world with t11e$5-a．day minimum Wage scheme． the greatest contribution he had ever made．The average Wage in the auto industry then was$2.34 for a 9-hour shift．Ford not only doubled that．he also took an hour off the workday．In those years it was unthinkable that a man could be paid that much for doing something that didn’t involve an awful lot of training or education．The Wall Street Journal called the plan“an economic crime’．and critics everywhere laughed at F0rd．V> 4 But as the wage increased later to daily$10，it proved a critical component of Ford’s dream to make the automobile accessible(可及的)to a11 The critics were too stupid to understand that because Ford had lowered his costs per car，the higher wages didn’t matter--except for making it possible for more people to buy cars． 23 paragraph 1 24 paragraph 2 25 paragraph 3 26 paragraph 4 A Ford’s Followers B The Assembly Line C Ford’s Great Dream D The Establishment of the Company E Ford’s Biggest Contribution F Ford’s Great Talent 27 The assembly line made it possible to 28 Ford was the first to adopt 29 Higher wages enabled many people to 30 Ford’s higher-wage and lower-cost strategy was strongly A criticized by the media B the low wage in the auto industry C own a car D Produce cars in large numbers E the 8-hour-shift practice F combined technology and market 第4部分：阅读理解(第31～45题，每题3分，共45分) 下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题，每道题后面有4个选项。请根据文章的内容， 从每题所给的4个选项中选择1个最佳答案，涂在答题卡相应的位置上。 第一篇 Sleepless at Night
It was a normal summer night．Humidity(湿气)hung in the thick air． I couldn’t go to sleep．partly because of my cold and partly because of my expectations for the next day．My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a surprise． Sweat stuck to my aching body．Finally, I gathered enough strength to sit up．I looked out of my small window into the night．There was a big bright moon hanging in the sky, giving off a magic light． 。 I couldn’t stand the pressure anymore，SO I did what I always do to make myself feel better．1 went to the bathroom and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste．I cleaned my teeth as if there was no tomorrow．Back and forth，up and down． Then 1 walked downstairs to look for some signs of movement，some life．Gladiator, my cat。 frightened me as he meowed(喵喵地唱出)his sad song．He was on t11e 01d orange couch(长沙 发)，sitting up on his front legs，waiting for something to happen．He looked at me as if to s吼 “I’m lonely, pet me．I need a good hug(紧抱)．”Even the couch begged me to sit on it． In one movement I settled down onto the soft couch．This couch represented my parents’ marriage，my birth，and hundreds of other little events． As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily．My mind was flooded with questions： What’s life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down Gladiator’s body, I had a new thought；each touch sang a different song． I forget a11 about the heat and the next day’s surprise．The atmosphere was SO full of warmth and silence that I sank into its alms．Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms．I felt all my worries slowly move away． 31 The author could not go to sleep partly because A it was too cold． B it was too dry． C he had a cold． D he had a fever． 32 What was the weather like that night?

the skin of the older swimmers B A shocking 1 00 million sharks are killed every year around the world by humans． C In fact,94 per cent of the world’s 400 species are harmless to humans D It is a worrying situation and some areas have put measures in place to protect these special fish． ’ 、 E And to make this point clear, the museum has set up a special touching pool for children． F More than half of the sharks caught are smaller than 1 metra long. 第6部分：完形填空 (第51~65题，每题1分，共15分) 阅读下面的短文，文中有15处空白，每处空白给出了4个选项，请根据短文的内容从 4个选项中选择1个最佳答案，涂在答题卡相应的位置上。 Migrant(移民的)Workers In me past twenty years, there has been all increasing tendency for workers to move from one country to another．While some countries have restricted(限制)most (51)to local people，others have attracted and welcomed migrant workers．This is particularly the case in the Middle East, (52)increased 0il incomes have enabled many countries to call in outsiders to improve local facilities(设施)．Thus the Middle East has attracted oil-workers (53)the U．S．A．and Europe．It has also brought in workers from many other countries， (54)South Korea and Japan． In view of the difficult living and working (55)in the Middle East，it is not surprising that the pay is high to attract suitable workers．Many engineers and technicians．Can (56) at least twice as much money in the Middle East as they Carl in their Own country, and this is a major (57)． Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating(补偿的)advantage．For example，the (58) living conditions often lead t0 increased friendship when workers have to (S9)on each other for safety and comfort．In a similar way，many migrant workers Can save large sums of money partly because of the (60)of entertainment(娱乐) facilities．The work is often complex and full of problems but this merely presents greater challenge to engineers who prefer to find solutions to problems rather than do——(61) work in their home country． One major problem which (62) migrant workers in the Middle East is that their jobs are temporary ones．They are nearly always on (63)，so it is not easy for them to plan ahead with great confidence．This is to be (64)since no country welcomes a large number of foreign workers as permanent residents．In any (65)，migrant workers accept this disadvantage，along“也others，because of the considerable financial benefits which they receive． 51A acts B jobs C activities D user 52A which B what C who D where 53A from B with C in D about 54A opposing B limiting C including D asking 55A role B conditions C difficulty D event 56A earn B borrow C offer D cast 57A advance B difficulty C event D attraction 58A necessary B possible C difficult D good 59A depend B look C base D go 60A range B lack C price D number 61A routine B causal C additional D interesting 62A invites B affects C needs D hates 63A investment B strike &nbssp; 吸引合适的工人也就不奇怪了。“条件”英语用“conditions”。“role”是“作用”， “difficulty”是“困难”，“event”是“事件”。这些选项跟句子内容不相关。 56正确答案为A。第二段的第二句(接55中提到的那个句子)的意思是：许多工程师 和技术员在中东挣的工资至少是在他们自己国家的两倍，这是一个主要的吸引力。可 见“earn”(挣)是合适的选择。 57正确答案为D。56中的后一个小句中提到了“吸引力”。“吸引力”英语用“attraction”。 58正确答案为C。第三段的第一个句子是这么说的：有时候，不利的地方也可以从有利 的地方中得到补偿。这是个主题句。接着应是举例说明。后半个句子说的是：当工人 们不得不为了安全和舒适相互依赖时就加深了友谊。这是一种得到补偿的有利的东 西，那么前半句空格中应填入的最合适的词显然是“difficult”(困难的)。“necessary” 是“必须的”，“possible”是“可能的”，“good”是“好的”。这些选项填入后，句子 前半部分表达的不是不利的地方，而是有利的地方，跟主题句不能构成连贯的语段。 59正确答案为A。58中已经说到了“相互依赖”。“相互依赖”英语用“depend on”。 60正确答案为B。所在句子是对主题旬的进一步说明。该旬的意思是：同样地，由于缺 乏娱乐的设施，许多迁移来的工人可以积蓄大量的钱。这也是一种补偿。“缺乏”英 语用“lack”。 ． 61正确答案为A。所在句子的意思是：工作往往是复杂的，问题很多，但是，这充其量 是对工程师提出了挑战，而工程师们倒是愿意解决问题，而不愿意在自己的国家做一 般性的工作。“一般性的”用routine。 62正确答案为B。最后一段的第一句话的意思是：影响来中东的工人的一个主要问题是， 他们的工作是临时性的。“affects”是“影响”的意思。 63正确答案为C。62中谈到的句子是最后一段的主题句。接着应该是说明。63所在的 句子就是说明。意思是：他们差不多总是订合同的，因此不大可能很有信心地超前安 排。“合同”英语用“contract节。 64正确答案为D。所在句子是对上一个句子(63中的句子)的解释。因此用“expected” 是正确的。全句的意思是：这些是在预计之中的， 因为没有一个国家会欢迎许多外 国工人成为他们的永久居民。“suggested”是“表明”、“建议”的意思，“reported”是 “报道”，“argued”是“认为”。 65正确答案为D。文章的最后一个句子表明，迁移来的工人显得很无奈。整个句子的意 思是：不管怎么样，迁移来的工人只能接受这种以及其他方面的不利之处，因为他们 得到的经济方面的好处还是很多的。“不管怎么样”，英文用“in any case”。https://www.unjs.com/
