On a Sunday morning in 2008, Vic Gundotra received a call during a religious service. It was from Steve Jobs, Apple’s former CEO. He didn’t answer, but Jobs left a message saying he had something urgent to discuss. Gundotra returned his call almost immediately.
“Hey Steve—this is Vic,” he said. “I’m sorry I didn’t answer your call earlier. I was in religious services and the caller ID said ‘unknown’, so I didn’t pick up.”
Steve laughed, saying, “Vic, unless the caller ID said ‘GOD’, you should never pick up during services.”
Vic Gundotra laughed nervously. Although Steve used to call him during the week when he was upset about something, it was unusual for him to call on Sunday and ask him to call his home. He was worried what had happened.
“Vic, we have an urgent problem. I’ve already asked someone from my team to help you, and I hope you can fix this tomorrow,” said Steve. “I’ve been looking at the Google logo on the iPhone and I’m not happy with the icon (图标). The second O in Google doesn’t have the right yellow color. It’s just wrong and I’m going to have Greg fix it tomorrow. Is that OK with you ”
The CEO of Apple, who revolutionized personal computers, the way we listen to music and the way we think of mobile devices, was worried about the yellow in the second “O” in Google.
Needless to say the problem was fixed, and Vic Gundotra said it taught him a lesson on leadership and attention to detail.
“It was a lesson I’ll never forget,” said Gundotra. “CEOs should care about details. Even shades of yellow. On a Sunday.”

Tales of the homework-burdened American students have become common, but are these stories the exception or the rule.
The National Education Association recommends that homework time increase by ten minutes per year in school. For example, a third grader would have 30 minutes of homework, while a seventh grader would have 70 minutes. Studies have found that schools tend to follow these guidelines.
A study out of the University of Michigan found that students aged six to eight spend 29 minutes doing homework per night while 9-to 12-year-old students spend 50 minutes doing homework. For high school students, they spend an average of 6. 8 hours on homework outside of school per week.
To be more specific, 45 percent of students in grades three to 12 spend more than an hour a night doing homework, including the six percent of students who report spending more than three hours a night on their homework. The study also found that 70 percent of students in grades three to 12 had at least one homework assignment in math each day. 62 percent had at least one homework assignment in a language class (English. reading, spelling, or creative writing courses) every two days and 42 percent had at least one in a science class each week.
Regardless of how much homework kids are actually doing every night, most parents and teachers are happy with the way things are; 60 percent of parents think that their children have the “right amount of homework”, and 73 percent of teachers think their school assigns the right amount of homework.
Students, however, are not necessarily on board: 30 percent of students in grades seven through 12 and 28 percent of students in grades three through six report being “very often/often” stressed out by their homework.
8. How much time are ninth graders recommended to spend on their daily homework
A. 30 minutes. B. 50 minutes. C. 70 minutes. D. 90 minutes.
9. What are the statistics in paragraph 3 about
A. The actual amount of homework for different subjects.
B. The unbalanced homework burdens in different schools.
C. The recommended daily homework for different students.
D. The average time different graders spend on daily homework.
10. Which subject has daily homework
A Language. B. Art. C. Math. D. Science.
11. What can be inferred about the amount of homework in the US
A. The majority of students feel stressed out.
B. It might be reduced just for some students.
C. The government guidelines are not scientific.
D. Most parents and teachers are unhappy with it.

Sales of green tea are rising in the US and the UK, driven largely by evidence of the health benefits. So it’s funny that a little over a century ago, this so-called super-food was considered as super-toxic.
“For most of the 19th century, there was less concern about the dangers of taking drugs than there was about the negative side effects of drinking green tea,” writes Matthew Sweet in his book Inventing the Victorians. “Readers of Victorian journalism were used to seeing reports that green tea led to horrible illnesses. Therefore, tea drinkers eventually turned to black tea.”
To be fair, the refusal of green tea should be blamed to the businessmen. Though both black and green teas are made from the leaves of the same plant, black tea is drier than the green tea, so more could be packed into the ship with lower risk of damage. But the real problem with green tea was that dishonest businessmen added the leaves of other plants to the tea leaves in order to increase the weight. Adulterated (掺假) tea was so common that when shops in London attempted to sell pure green tea, people just refused to buy it because it was considered the “wrong” color.
Fears of drinking green tea were heightened in 1839 by a paper in the famous British medical journal The Lancet. In the paper, Dr. George Sigmond studied the positive and negative effects of tea. While stating that green tea had medical benefits and was a great improvement on alcohol, he warned against overuse. He described a case, in which a woman was attacked with terrible pain at the stomach. He blamed her symptoms, on solid evidence, to drinking strong green tea on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning, without mixing it with milk, cream or sugar.
Of course, this toxic of the Victorian sitting room has now had its reputation firmly restored. Science has shown that green tea has been linked to health benefits like lower risk of stroke and some kinds of cancer.
12. What does the underlined word “super-toxic” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. A dangerous poison B. A healthy diet
C. An unreliable cure D. A pleasant drink
13. What was the real problem that turned tea drinkers away from green tea
A. High price B. Negative news coverage
C. Medical evidence D. Widespread adulteration
14. Which of the following best describes Dr. George Sigmond’s paper
A. Misleading. B. Unscientific. C. Balanced. D. Confusing.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To advertise the health benefits of green tea.
B. To explain the changed tastes for green tea.
C. To expose the dishonesty of the businessmen.
D. To warn the negative side effects of overdrinking.

On a Sunday morning in 2008, Vic Gundotra received a call during a religious service. It was from Steve Jobs, Apple’s former CEO. He didn’t answer, but Jobs left a message saying he had something urgent to discuss. Gundotra returned his call almost immediately.
“Hey Steve—this is Vic,” he said. “I’m sorry I didn’t answer your call earlier. I was in religious services and the caller ID said ‘unknown’, so I didn’t pick up.”
Steve laughed, saying, “Vic, unless the caller ID said ‘GOD’, you should never pick up during services.”
Vic Gundotra laughed nervously. Although Steve used to call him during the week when he was upset about something, it was unusual for him to call on Sunday and ask him to call his home. He was worried what had happened.
“Vic, we have an urgent problem. I’ve already asked someone from my team to help you, and I hope you can fix this tomorrow,” said Steve. “I’ve been looking at the Google logo on the iPhone and I’m not happy with the icon (图标). The second O in Google doesn’t have the right yellow color. It’s just wrong and I’m going to have Greg fix it tomorrow. Is that OK with you ”
The CEO of Apple who revolutionized personal computers, the way we listen to music and the way we think of mobile devices, was worried about the yellow in the second “O” in Google.
Needless to say the problem was fixed, and Vic Gundotra said it taught him a lesson on leadership and attention to detail.
“It was a lesson I’ll never forget,” said Gundotra. “CEOs should care about details. Even shades of yellow. On a Sunday.”

Even shades of yellow. On a Sunday.”(“这是一个我永远不会忘记的教训,”Gundotra说。“首席执行官们应该关注细节。甚至是深浅不一的黄色。在星期天。”)”可知,本文通过Vic Gundotra与Steve Jobs之间的一次交往来说明Steve Jobs十分注重细节,因此最好的标题是B选项“A Story About Steve Jobs’ Attention to Details(乔布斯注重细节的故事)”,故选B。

Tales of the homework-burdened American students have become common, but are these stories the exception or the rule.
The National Education Association recommends that homework time increase by ten minutes per year in school. For example, a third grader would have 30 minutes of homework, while a seventh grader would have 70 minutes. Studies have found that schools tend to follow these guidelines.
A study out of the University of Michigan found that students aged six to eight spend 29 minutes doing homework per night while 9-to 12-year-old students spend 50 minutes doing homework. For high school students, they spend an average of 6. 8 hours on homework outside of school per week.
To be more specific, 45 percent of students in grades three to 12 spend more than an hour a night doing homework, including the six percent of students who report spending more than three hours a night on their homework. The study also found that 70 percent of students in grades three to 12 had at least one homework assignment in math each day. 62 percent had at least one homework assignment in a language class (English. reading, spelling, or creative writing courses) every two days and 42 percent had at least one in a science class each week.
Regardless of how much homework kids are actually doing every night, most parents and teachers are happy with the way things are; 60 percent of parents think that their children have the “right amount of homework”, and 73 percent of teachers think their school assigns the right amount of homework.
Students, however, are not necessarily on board: 30 percent of students in grades seven through 12 and 28 percent of students in grades three through six report being “very often/often” stressed out by their homework.
8. How much time are ninth graders recommended to spend on their daily homework
A. 30 minutes. B. 50 minutes. C. 70 minutes. D. 90 minutes.
9. What are the statistics in paragraph 3 about
A. The actual amount of homework for different subjects.
B. The unbalanced homework burdens in different schools.
C. The recommended daily homework for different students.
D. The average time different graders spend on daily homework.
10. Which subject has daily homework
A. Language. B. Art. C. Math. D. Science.
11. What can be inferred about the amount of homework in the US
A. The majority of students feel stressed out.
B. It might be reduced just for some students.
C. The government guidelines are not scientific.
D. Most parents and teachers are unhappy with it.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】

Sales of green tea are rising in the US and the UK, driven largely by evidence of the health benefits. So it’s funny that a little over a century ago, this so-called super-food was considered as super-toxic.
“For most of the 19th century, there was less concern about the dangers of taking drugs than there was about the negative side effects of drinking green tea,” writes Matthew Sweet in his book Inventing the Victorians. “Readers of Victorian journalism were used to seeing reports that green tea led to horrible illnesses. Therefore, tea drinkers eventually turned to black tea.”
To be fair, the refusal of green tea should be blamed to the businessmen. Though both black and green teas are made from the leaves of the same plant, black tea is drier than the green tea, so more could be packed into the ship with lower risk of damage. But the real problem with green tea was that dishonest businessmen added the leaves of other plants to the tea leaves in order to increase the weight. Adulterated (掺假) tea was so common that when shops in London attempted to sell pure green tea, people just refused to buy it because it was considered the “wrong” color.
Fears of drinking green tea were heightened in 1839 by a paper in the famous British medical journal The Lancet. In the paper, Dr. George Sigmond studied the positive and negative effects of tea. While stating that green tea had medical benefits and was a great improvement on alcohol, he warned against overuse. He described a case, in which a woman was attacked with terrible pain at the stomach. He blamed her symptoms, on solid evidence, to drinking strong green tea on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning, without mixing it with milk, cream or sugar.
Of course, this toxic of the Victorian sitting room has now had its reputation firmly restored. Science has shown that green tea has been linked to health benefits like lower risk of stroke and some kinds of cancer.
12. What does the underlined word “super-toxic” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. A dangerous poison B. A healthy diet
C. An unreliable cure D. A pleasant drink
13. What was the real problem that turned tea drinkers away from green tea
A. High price B. Negative news coverage
C. Medical evidence D. Widespread adulteration
14. Which of the following best describes Dr. George Sigmond’s paper
A. Misleading. B. Unscientific. C. Balanced. D. Confusing.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To advertise the health benefits of green tea.
B. To explain the changed tastes for green tea.
C. To expose the dishonesty of the businessmen.
D. To warn the negative side effects of overdrinking.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是绿茶在欧美日益流行,可在十八世纪绿茶却被看成是超级毒药,本文解释了原因。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“For most of the 19th century, there was less concern about the dangers of taking drugs than there was about the negative side effects of drinking green tea(在19世纪的大部分时间里,人们对服用药物的危害的担忧要少于对饮用绿茶的负面影响的担忧)”和“Readers of Victorian journalism were used to seeing reports that green tea led to horrible illnesses.(维多利亚时代的新闻读者已经习惯了看到绿茶导致可怕疾病的报道)”可推断,在维多利亚时代,绿茶被认为是有毒的,因此划线词“super-toxic”指的是“危险的毒药”,和A选项“A dangerous poison(危险的毒药)”意思相近。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But the real problem with green tea was that dishonest businessmen added the leaves of other plants to the tea leaves in order to increase the weight.(但绿茶的真正问题在于,不诚实的商人在茶叶中加入了其他植物的叶子,以增加茶叶的重量)”可知,无良商人掺假才是人们放弃绿茶的根本原因。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In the paper, Dr. George Sigmond studied the positive and negative effects of tea. While stating that green tea had medical benefits and was a great improvement on alcohol, he warned against overuse.(在这篇论文中,George Sigmond博士研究了茶的积极和消极影响。虽然他说绿茶有医疗功效,而且对酒精有很大的改善作用,但他警告不要过度饮用)”可知,该研究既涉及饮绿茶的好处,也提示了暴饮可能带来的问题。由此推知,George Sigmond博士的论文是客观、公正的。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Sales of green tea are rising in the US and the UK, driven largely by evidence of the health benefits. So it’s funny that a little over a century ago, this so-called super-food was considered as super-toxic.(绿茶在美国和英国的销量正在上升,主要是因为有证据表明绿茶有益健康。有趣的是,一个多世纪以前,这种所谓的超级食物被认为是超级有毒的)”及最后一段“Of course, this toxic of the Victorian sitting room has now had its reputation firmly restored. Science has shown that green tea has been linked to health benefits like lower risk of stroke and some kinds of cancer.(当然,维多利亚时代客厅里的这种有毒物质现在已经恢复了它的名声。科学表明,绿茶对健康有益,比如降低中风和某些癌症的风险)”可推知,本文主要是解释人们在过去两个多世纪里对绿茶的偏好变化的原因。故选B。
