18、r-old Harley was asleep with her younger sister in their home in Eden, North Carolina. While their parents were outside welcoming their older sister home from school, the wires in the familys laundry room caught fire and before anyone knew what was happening, the bedroom next door was consumed in fl
19、ames. Harleys father was able to rescue his two youngest daughters and save their lives, but Harley was severely burned on 80 percent of her body and her parents were told that she was likely to pass away. Over the next several months, Harley would put up with surgery after surgery and remain hooked
20、 up to a ventilator（呼吸机）at the hospital. When she was finally released to go home, Harley had no idea that the toughest battle had not even begun yet. When Harley started school just a few years later, she realized for the first time how cruel her peers could be. Bullied for her appearance and calle
21、d hateful names, she began to consider ending her life while only in Grade 8. When her friends were getting their first boyfriends and going on their first dates, she was sitting at home wondering if she should end her life. But in 2013, something changed.

22、ething inside Harley. She made the conscious decision to become more like the carefree, laughing, joyous little girl that she had not seen since that night in 1997.

25、l rose from the darkCDuring the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States. Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considere
26、d an important force in history. Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband,
27、 John, the second President of the United States. But little or no notice was taken of these contributions. During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books.Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors writing about wome
28、n. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians. Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources. During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of a
29、ctivities in which women were engaged. National, regional, and local womens organizations compiled accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored. These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of womens history in the United
30、States one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliff College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later generations of historians.Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nine
31、teenth century, most of the writing about women conformed to the “great women“ theory of history, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on “great men.“ To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wr
32、ote biographies, or else important women produced their autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working for womens right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great of ordinary woman. The lives of ordinary people continued,
33、 generally, to be untold in the American histories being published.28. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The role of literature in early American historiesB. The place of American women in written historiesC. The keen sense of history shown by American womenD. The “great women“ approach to his
34、tory used by American historians29. The word “they“ in line 12 refers to . A. efforts B. sources C. writings D. authors30. In the second paragraph, what weakness in nineteenth-century histories does the author point out?A. They put too much emphasis on daily activitiesB. They left out discussion of
35、the influence on money or politics.C. The sources of the information they were based on were not necessarily accurate.D. They were printed on poor quality paper.31. What use was made of the nineteenth-century womens history materials in the Schlesinger Library and theSophia Smith Collection?A. They
36、were combined and published in a series of books about women.B. They formed the basis of college courses in the nineteenth century.C.

37、body Copy Apple?Apples products are the envy of the world. They have been amazingly successful and are widely imitated, if not copied. The minute Apple launches a product, everyone knows how to compete. This idea that the basis of competition is set by Apple and then the race is on to climb the path
38、 of improvement is unquestionable. When Apple releases a product that defines a category or dramatically changes the structure of an industry, it becomes obvious what needs to be built. But what I wonder is why everyone wants to copy Apples products but nobody wants to copy being Apple?I can think o
39、f two reasons. Firstly, Apple is not worth copying because its not successful; secondly, Apples success cannot be copied because it is a magical process.There is a great deal of evidence for the first assumption. The idea of Apple being successful is not something reflected in its stock price. Being
40、 valued lower than the average company in the S&P（标准普尔）500 indicates that to whatever degree Apple was successful in the past, and its not seen by the vast majority of observers as successful in the future. Why should one bother copying Apple if it results in being punished with a low valuation? If
41、one works really hard at innovation and then that innovation becomes commoditized（商品化）very quickly, why should one bother?When innovation practitioners are asked what makes Apple successful, the answers regarding the cause of this success border on the mythical. The fabulous part of this assumption
42、is the “chief-sorcerer“ theory of success which places one magician, like Steve Jobs, in charge of casting all the right spells(符咒).What about Apples own opinion of what makes it tick? Tim Cook refers to a great team and integration（一体）of hardware, software and services as unique Apple advantages. I
43、ts a better explanation. Integration is something that can take a long time, but it is possible with great effort. A few companies are starting to make moves in that direction, but efforts are half-hearted. There is no “move the Earth“ feeling to become an integrated company from Samsung, Google or
44、Microsoft.My own suspicion is that Apple is more aware of what makes it special than it lets out. However, as Tim points out, its not a formula. Its complex, its subtle, but its not magic. Its a process that requires a degree of faith and courage.32. When a new product of Apple comes out, often it _
45、.A. starts a revolution of an industryB. ruins an industry dramaticallyC. puts itself in an unbeatable positionD. is soon overtaken by imitated products33. According to the passage, other companies dont “copy being Apple“ because_.A. Apple is not a successful companyB. they have no access to relevan
46、t resourcesC. its hard to find a magician like Steve JobsD. being Apple takes more than time and efforts34. We can infer from Para. 5 that _.A. other companies are dedicated to integrationB. Apple itself is fully aware of its unique advantagesC. Apple will hold the leading position in this industryD
47、. other companies dont have an extraordinary team as Apple does35. What does the author think of Tim Cooks statement?A. Doubtful B. Acceptable. C. Unbelievable D. Disappointing.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Ways to Track Your Personal Health Information on Your
