It was a dinner party from hell (地狱). Not because of the lovely guests. The problem was that they were all experts in cooking. And they were all waiting for a pudding (布丁) I had cooked for them.

I lifted my spoon high above the poached (水煮) peach and readied myself for it to sink easily into the peach. Instead the spoon bent at the neck. The fruit was hard, even though it had been cooked for an hour.

It was my stupid mistake. Over the past two years or so, I have passed judgment on the cooking skills of over 100 chefs (厨师). I thought it could now be fun to get some chefs to pass judgment on me. Little did I know what I was letting myself in for.

The starter was a French onion pie. It’s a classic dish and would be a test of my skills. And it’s the only cooked starter I know how to do.

Next, the main course. My wife suggested doing the lamb (羔羊肉) thing first. I agreed. It’s a good dinner party dish because even if you overcook the meat, it’s still a pleasure. The lamb is filled with a mixture of small pieces of bread, tomatoes, olives and so on. The only problem is that in this condition the meat has to come out pink, which fortunately it did.

As to the pudding, I would do peaches poached in Muscat wine with cream. There was only one problem that I had forgotten that peaches were out of season and much like rocks.

What did the guest chefs say about my cooking ability? “With all good dinner parties, as with the best restaurants, the food is by no means the only important thing and it was exciting that the party combined great diners and my hosts’ generosity. And the food? As it happens, it was really rather good — should have had a cheese course though. And the plates could have been hotter.”

24. What did the author mean by saying it was “a dinner party from hell”?

A. The guests were knowledgeable about cooking. B. He was hopelessly disorganized.

C. The guests were not welcomed. D. He failed to make a pudding.

25. Why did the author hold the dinner party?

A. To advertise his restaurant. B. To find out how it felt to be judged.

C. To express his thanks to the 100 chefs. D. To ask for opinions about his new dish.

26. What was the key to the success of the lamb dish?

A. Getting the cooking time right. B. Seasoning the lamb properly.

C. Mixing the food in order. D. Using the right cooker.

27. What was the author’s problem according to the guests’ judgment?

A. He had presented the meal improperly. B. He had missed out an important dish.

C. He had served the food on hot plates. D. He had bought fruit out of season.

C ★★★☆☆

Make School is one of the most unusual schools in the country: It lets students enter school for free if they agree to pay later after they land a job.

Ashu Desai helped create Make School in 2012. The goal at Make School is not getting good grades. It’s putting together a list of practical work able to impress Silicon Valley companies and let them make job offers.

Make School runs programs of varying lengths. Its “Product College” is a two-year computer science program that combines internships (实习) at big-name Silicon Valley companies with classes that are light on class and heavy on projects. The goal is for graduating students to have created games or other apps they can take to job interviews.

Make School depends on an “income-share agreement,” which allows students to go to school and not have to take out loans (贷款) — if they agree to pay the school a part of their future earnings.

About 85 percent of the Product College students are men. But Desai said the school is working together with organizations like Girls Who Code to raise the number of women.

Lauren Weiss, 18, has attended two summer programs at Make School. While she’s heading to college in her home state of Colorado this fall, it’s mostly because she earned a full-ride scholarship (奖学金), not because she thinks it’ll be better than the Product College.

“They’re able to teach students more than any other program ever could,” she said. “People really are pushed to grow.”

But Barmak Nassirian, director of federal policy at the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, warned that there are few rules and students may fall into traps if they don’t read the terms carefully.

Nassirian also said he was somewhat encouraged by Make School, though, in part because of the investors (投资者) who have backed it.

28. What makes Make School different from other schools?

A. It is run by big-name companies. B. It can provide job offers for students.

C. It allows students to pay after getting jobs. D. It focuses on grades more than practical work.

29. What can we learn about “Product College”?

A. It designs apps for students. B. It helps students pay back their loans.

C. It interviews students for Silicon Valley. D. It is trying to attract more women students.

30. What is Lauren Weiss’s opinion about Make School?

A. It is a school worth attending. B. It values school rules above all else.

C. It is poorer than colleges in Colorado. D. It offers various entertainment programs.

31. What is Barmak Nassirian’s attitude to Make School?

A. Optimistic. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.

D ★★★☆☆

Mr. Lon Lee Alle is from Singapore. He was recently visiting an Indonesian island so he could see the famous Komodo dragons. Mr. Lon did not want to pay for a tour guide, but he really wanted to take some close-up photos of the dragons when they were eating. Like most wild animals, Komodo dragons do not like to be disturbed when food is around. They turned on Mr. Lon and one of them took a large bite out of his leg. He was rushed to hospital by speedboat. Luckily, he survived.

Komodo dragons are the largest and heaviest lizards (蜥蜴) in the world. They can only be found on a few Indonesian islands including Komodo Island. They have lived on earth for a very long time, and remain killing and eating machines. They have a very strong sense of smell which they use to help find their next meal. They will eat almost anything they find. Even though Komodo dragons can run up to 20 kilometres per hour, they prefer to wait for their kill.

When the attack does come, the dragon attacks the animal’s feet first, knocking it over. Then, its sharp (锋利的) and fearsome teeth pull the animal to pieces. These teeth contain small pieces of meat from meals it has already eaten and are filled with bacteria — sometimes up to 60 different types. One bite will cause an infection in the wounded animal that will lead to a very painful death a few days later. The Komodo dragon will follow the animal, waiting for it to fall down. It has recently been discovered that Komodo dragons also have venom (毒液) in their mouth. The venom causes animals to bleed to death — if the infection does not get it first.

Today, there are about 4,000 Komodo dragons in the wild. Five people have been killed and 30 injured by dragon bites in the past 40 years.

32. What happened to Mr. Lon Lee Alle?

A. He was fooled by the tour guide.

B. He got lost on an Indonesian island.

C. He paid a lot to take Komodo dragons’ photos.

D. He was seriously injured by a Komodo dragon.

33. What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the text?

A. To start a discussion. B. To bring up the topic.

C. To provide an explanation. D. To offer basic knowledge of the topic.

34. What do we know about Komodo dragons?

A. They’re native to Indonesia. B. They’re impatient hunters.

C. They’re picky about food. D. They’re really smelly.

35. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. How Komodo dragons survive after being attacked.

B. How Komodo dragons’ venom kills an animal.

C. How Komodo dragons infect other animals.

D. How Komodo dragons hunt for food.

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。

Stress is so common that many people choose to ignore it. But without proper management, stress can become much more serious. Listed here are 5 proven ways to deal with stress.

1. Breathe

36 Slow, deep breathing stops the mind focusing on whatever else might be going on, and actively lowers stress levels. Practicing breathing can help you to build up a great attitude to your life.

2. Write

Instead of allowing a jumble (混乱) of thoughts and ideas to jump around inside your head, let them fall out onto your computer keyboard instead. 37

They don’t even have to make sense. Minutes later, you might be surprised at how light, airy and carefree you feel.

3. Walk

If you’re feeling stressed, drop everything and go for a walk. 38 Walking provides your body with an ideal outlet (完美的出口) for the build-up of energy that stress can create.

4. Sleep

Sleep is certainly necessary for avoiding high stress levels. Everyone needs good amounts of rest, and remaining glued to a computer screen and working for the whole day without taking a break will result in stress. 39

5. Laugh

If you’re stressed, the last thing you probably feel like doing is laughing. 40 If you are able to smile during your day, you’ll soon begin to see the effects of stress slowly disappear.

A. Stress is not good for people’s health.

B. Deep breathing lowers the blood pressure.

C. Laughing can calm the nerves and reduce stress.

D. Or write down your feelings onto a piece of paper.

E. Keep yourself at an easy speed and breathe properly.

F. Taking a deep breath in stressful situations has proven to be helpful.

G. Take frequent breaks away from the screen and see your stress disappear.

We went out to dinner tonight to celebrate my daughter’s beautiful performance. We don’t do this often because of our 41 budget.

I noticed a very 42 mom come in with her three children, maybe about age 4 or 5. She looked like she had just 43 work. She sat with her children quietly taking care of them and 44 all their needs.
