14、反射建筑对大西洋迁徙过程中的鸟类造成了致命的伤害。 “我们住在一个玻璃的时代， ”约有9万只鸟因撞到了城市的建筑上而丧命。它们通常在附近的公园觅食之后，撞到了玻璃建筑的低层上。这种撞击是继栖息地减少之后，对迁徙鸟类造成致命的第二个主要因素，死亡数量估计一年攀升到10亿。 近几十年里，随着玻璃设置的办公室和公寓数量的增加，也就要我们号召建造一些对鸟类没有那么大杀伤力的建筑。圣弗朗西斯科在七月份采取了鸟类安全标准建造房屋。美国绿色建筑协会，一个非盈利性的工业组织开始鼓励建造一些注重环境型的建筑，并于今年秋天引进鸟类安全标准，作为环境认证过程的一部分。 但是，解决方案并不容易。少数研究者用紫外线信号

Javits会展中心正在实施改造方案，近期的大多数建筑主要是针对减少鸟类撞击问题而设计的。建筑少用反射玻璃，而采用点式型。 Passage 2 Todays students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F.D.R., and they live in a world where amazing innov

30、讲述了学校的企业家才能教育。 全文翻译当今的学生比起罗斯福大多是听着比尔盖茨的事迹长大的，同时，他们生活在一个革新很普遍的世界中。毕竟，目前18岁这一代人在8岁的时候，斯坦福大学的两个学生创建了Google；马克扎克伯格在2004 年创建了 Facebook，那时他还在哈佛上学，那些孩子们正要上高中。他们是伴着数字长大的，所以渴望去享受生活。 要发掘像这样的潜质儿童，最简单的方法就是检查一下企业家才能教育，那里的大学和学院试着让孩子认清机会、把握机会。 去年，考夫曼基金会发表了一则报告，在校园里实行推进创新的财政计划，报告显示，在2年到4年间提供超过5 000个企业家才能培训计划 比起1985
31、年仅有的250个课程有所增加。考夫曼基金会副会长 Lesa Mitchell说基金会扩大了它的学术影响力，而这曾经仅在经济类院校使用。现在，企业家才能这个概念在工程计划、医学类院校及艺术领域兴起。 “我们感兴趣的是让这个概念在所有领域中使用， ”她说， “我们需要把这个概念从经济类院校中传播出去。 ” 不管是课程还是他们自身，各专业的学生都应具备这样的思想，写一些商业计划，进而通过一种模式(通常是市场模式下)来审视这些计划。闲暇时，普度大学的农业经济类学生发明了豆子的新用法；希拉丘兹工业设计专业的学生在专门实验室创造了耐用技术。 企业家才能运动受到一些人的批判，特别是那些把大学时代视为一个广泛
32、学术研发的时期。“根据国家需求，我认为企业家才能没有占有很高地位， ”Daniel S. Greenberg说，销售科学：校园资本主义的风险、回报和妄想一书的作者。 巴布森大学校长 Leonard A. Schlesinger说创新能否被教出来这一问题是一个长期备受争议的话题。 Passage 3 Question 11 to 15 are based on the following passage: Regret is as common an emotion as love or fear, and it can be nearly as powerful. So, in a new p

34、s, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103,to talk about their most notable regret .Participants were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of something they did or didnt do, and whether it was something that could still be fixed。 The most commonly mentioned regret involve
35、d romance (浪漫的事)(18%)-lost loves or unfulfilled relationships. Family regrets came in second (16%)，whit people still feeling badly about being unkind to their brothers or sisters in childhood. Other frequently reported regrets involved career (13%) ,education (12%)，money(10%) and parenting(9%)。 Rose

People with higher levels of education had the most career regrets. And those with no romantic partner tended to
39、 hold regrets regarding love. Broken down(分解、细分)by sex, more women(44%) than men (19%) had regrets about love and family-not surprising, since women “value social relationships more than men,” the authors write. In contrast ,men (34%) were more likely than women (27%) to mention work-related regrets
40、, wishing theyd chosen a different career path, for instance ,or followed their passion。(80)Many participants also reported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children。 There was an even split between regrets about inaction (not doing something) and action (do something you w
41、ish you didnt) .But, like previous studies, the current research found that some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time: people tend to hang on longer to the regret of inaction; meanwhile, regrets of action tend to be more recent。 11.In the second paragraph, the author shows _。A. t
42、he researchers findings B. the importance of family C. the importance of money D. the importance of career 【答案】A。一网解题：一目一行浏览第二自然段，第二段讲述的都是数据，也同时 B与 C与 D选项原文中都有提及，那么我的天，那么我们该何去何从，简直是无所适从了，那么此情况下，答案绝对是 A。即调查研究的结果。 即 A选项包容了其余三个选项的内涵。12. According to the passage , college student participants mainly had
43、 regrets about their _。A. family and childhood B. study and major C. career and job D. romance and fear 【答案】B。一网解题：题干关键词：college student participants。大学生遗憾的是什么。充分利用常识储备，答案应该是 B。因为 A选项你不应该，也没有道理；同样的道理排除 C与 D选项；认证答案：带着题干关键词：college student participants一目一行定位答案范围在：第三段第二句话。定位句：college students, who pred
44、ictably tend to have education-focused regrets,studied harder or a different major. 即 B项 study and major。意为学习和专业。13.The word “notable” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _。 A. common B. capable C. wonderful D. remarkable 【答案】D。一网解题：一目一行定位第一段，其实只要我们仔细翻译一下词语所在的句子，答案也就一目了然了：找了370个志愿者，年龄从19
45、到103岁，目的是要他们谈一谈自己到目前为止，最_的遗憾。所以空格处应该填入“最大、最典型”的意思。同时前面稍远的句子也给了有用的信息：find out what the typical American regrets most。即最主要，最典型的遗憾，故 D remarkable“值得注意的”为正确答案。14. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. The less education he or she has, the more regrets she or he would have。 B. The more education
46、he or she has, the less regrets she or he would have。 C. More women than men had regrets about love and family。 D. The regret of action seems to last longer than that of inaction。 【答案】 C。一网解题：此类题目要么带着选项内容去原文中寻找，要么利用前面题目提供的信息，要么利用常识储备完成，要么等完成其它题目后，再来做。利用常识储备，排除 A与 B选项，因为这两个选项表达的意思几乎一模一样：“受教育越少，留下的遗憾就
47、越多”与“受教育越多，留下的遗憾就越少” 。难道不是一回事吗？毫不犹豫排除这两个选项；C 选项：女人当然比男人更加在乎家庭，当然女人在爱情和家庭方面的遗憾多于男人，这观点是完全符合我们的常识储备的；D 选项：不行动的遗憾要比行动的遗憾持久。有些人为了不留下遗憾，干脆不作为。这种现象有，可能还有一定的市场，但与我们的做人是违背的，排除，个别现象而已。答案是 C。认证答案：带着选项内容一目一行猎取有价值的信息：定位第五段，more women than men had regrets about love and family 故 C对。原文第四段，学历越低的人，对学历及教育的遗憾越多，A 项不明
48、确；学历越高的人，对事业的遗憾最多，B 项是对文章的曲解。最后一段，不行动的遗憾要比行动的遗憾持久，D 与其意思相反，故排除。 15. What is the main idea of this passage? A. How regret is understood by a typical American。 B .Common regrets is more important than love and hate。 C. Why regret is more important than love and hate。 D. How regret has shaped Americans
49、。【答案】B。一网解题：主旨题。方法前面已经有了讲述。A 选项与第13小题相悖，讲述的是各个阶层、各个年龄段人士的“regret 遗憾” ，排除；其余题目都没有涉及到 why和 How，答案是B。B选项：人们的遗憾比较多，不仅仅局限于爱呀恨的。第12小题不就提及了大学生的遗憾是：学习与专业。后悔当初没有努力学习，或者专业没有选择好等等。世界上还有比爱呀恨的更加重要的东西。认证答案：开篇讲述“遗憾” 的概念，引出两位研究者的调查，然后详细列出了各种常见遗憾的表现形式。所以文章主旨为美国人常见的遗憾。 全文翻译遗憾和爱与恐惧一样，是一种普通的情感，同时它又能产生强大的力量。因此，在一项新报告中，两个研究者试图找出美国人最典型的遗憾是什么。电话调查显示，西北大学管理系营销教授及心理学家 Neal Roese和伊利诺伊大学心理学博士 Mike Morrison调查了年龄从19岁到103岁的370个美国人，让他们谈论一下各自最遗憾的事。参与者被问到遗憾是什么，何时发生，这些遗憾是否是他们造成的，这些遗憾是否还会继续下去。 被提及的最普遍的遗憾中有18%和浪漫有关，失恋或分手。16%的家庭遗憾位居第二，比方说，儿时对兄弟姐妹的不友善情绪仍然存在。其他的
