第50题句意“但是当我的艺术公司办的越来越成功的时候，我发觉我这样单干其实是对那些我服务的人的伤害，我这样其实是限制了我自己的发展和我工作的深度”，50题肯定是个褒义词，表示公司越办越好，successful成功，选B。
第51题见50题解析，limit限制，选A。
第52题根据句意，作者通过自己的双手创办了一家公司，但是因为一直是自己单干不去寻求他人的帮助，所以这个公司的最终也做不大，I could hold in myown hands是形象的说法，end up以…告终，选C。 第53题根据上文，尽管舒适，但也被限制。But表示前后转折，选A。
第54题作者在反省自己的自以为是，根据文章主旨应该填一个贬义词来修饰self-sufficiency，四个选项中只有trap为贬义，故选D。
第55题与前面半句话take a remarkable leap forward进行对应，故此空填double，事业路途加长，故选B。 【附完形全文翻译】
和许多完美主义者一样，我真的认为自给自足是一种美德。 而且由于我的大脑是如此的善于找到它正在寻找的东西，我注意到每一个想法都被证明是正确的，所以我总是有大量的证据来解释为什么如果我自己处理所有的事情，它真的会更好。
这种想法，朋友啊，原来是伪装的魔鬼。
在70 年代和成年时，我是一个独立的艺术家，我的自立就派上用场了。 然后，在开办有组织的艺术家公司的头几年里，我发现我自己在学习任何关于网站、文案、平面设计等方面的知识。 后来，每当我的一个商业上的朋友抱怨她的网站是如何被她的设计师劫持的，我暗自觉得太满足了。至少如果我的生意犯了错误，他们都是我的。
这就是我的虚假骄傲出现的地方—我不想让别人知道我犯了错误。如果我让别人帮助我，他们会看到我的错误和误判。 独自工作，我可以保持优秀的表现。
但是随着有组织的艺术家公司变得越来越成功，我意识到自己凡事都亲历亲为反而对那些我想去服务的人造成了伤害。我限制了自己的成长和工作的深度。
我曾经用双手建立了自己的生意，最后拥有了一个自己的双手能掌控的生意。舒适，但范围有限。 一旦我愿意控制我的自负，承认我自给自足的愿景是一个陷阱，我的事业取得了显著的飞跃，收入增加了一倍。结果变化不大，差别很大。

ELECTRICITY IS AT THE CORE OF MODERN LIFE. DESPITE THIS, THE FULL STORY OF THIS REVOLUTIONARY FORCE HAS REMAINED UNTOLD—UNTIL NOW.
Simply Electrifying offers the comprehensive story of one of mankind’s most important journeys: from a time when only a few could imagine a world with electricity to today when, for most of us, a world without electricity would be unimaginable.
Since the birth of the modern science of electricity 265 years ago,
mankind has built an impressive structure to produce, deliver, and use electricity, thanks to a combination of pioneering science, innovative technology, wise business strategy, and pervasive (到处存在的)economic and environmental regulation.
Simply Electrifying brings to life the stories of the people that made it all possible—from early pathfinders like Benjamin Franklin, Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, and Albert Einstein to innovators such as Samuel Morse, Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, and Nikola Tesla. In modern
times, business strategists and economic and environmental regulation driven by many, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Rachel Carson, and even President Barack Obama, have shaped how we use and understand electricity in crucial ways. Today, Elon Musk and others are on the edge of again changing the way we think about and interact with it.
Simply Electrifying is painstakingly researched and beautifully written, showing us how both profit-makers and policy-makers must use a wide-angle lens to truly understand the past and predict the future. 56. According to the passage, the book Simply Electrifying is written to tell us . A. pioneering science of electricity B. significant journeys of electricity C. the people who invented electricity D. the research which was about electricity
57. Why is President Barack Obama mentioned in the book Simply Electrifying? A. Because a policy-maker is usually a top dog that can arouse the readers’ interest. B. Because a policy-maker can help promote the better use of electricity.
C. Because policy-makers can decide the future of the use of electricity on the market.
even
D. Because policy-makers can take control of the economy through electricity. 答案：56-57 BB 解析：
第56题：B 广告信息类文章，首段信息为文章主旨。定位第一段最后一句“for most of us，a world without electricity would be unimaginable”可见电力在世界上的重要性。
第57题：B 根据第三段“and even President Barack Obama, have shaped how we use and understand electricity in crucial ways”可知通过引用奥巴马的例子来强调如何运用和理解电力是至关重要的，故这本书可以帮助人们更好地运用电力。记住，例子本身不能说明自己，而是要论证它想论证的核心道理！
B
As countless unmade beds and unfinished homework assignments prove, kids need rules. Yet how parents make demands can powerfully influence a child’s social skills, psychologists at the University of Virginia recently found after the conclusion of a study investigating the transition from adolescence to adulthood.
Initially 184 13-year-olds filled out multiple surveys, including one to assess how often their parents employed psychologically controlling strategies, such as inducing guilt or threatening to withdraw affection. The kids rated, for example, how typical it would be for Dad to suggest that “if I really cared for him, I would not do things that caused him to worry”or for Mom to become “less friendly when I did not see things her way. ”
The researchers followed up with the subjects at ages 18 and 21, asking the young adults to bring along a close friend and, later, a romantic partner if they had one. These pairs were asked to answer hypothetical (假设的) questions that were purposefully written to inspire a difference of opinion. “We wanted to see whether they could navigate a disagreement in a healthy way, ” says study leader Barbara Oudekerk, now at the U. S. Department of Justice’s bureau of statistics.
In the October issue of Child Development, Oudekerk and her colleagues report that the 13-year-olds who had highly controlling parents struggled in friendly disagreements at age 18. They had difficulty stating their opinions in a confident, reasoned manner in comparison to the kids without controlling parents. And when they did speak up, they often failed to express themselves in warm and productive ways.
The researchers suspect that pushy parents ruin their child’s ability to learn how to argue his or her own viewpoint in other relationships. Although parents do need to set boundaries, domineering strategies imply that any disagreement will damage the bond itself. Separate findings suggest that parents who explain the reasons behind
their rules and turn disagreements into conversations leave youngsters better prepared for future arguments.
The consequences of tense or domineering relationships appear to get worse with time. This study also found that social difficulties at 18 predicted even poorer communication abilities at age 21. Psychologist Shmuel Shulman of Bar-Ilan University in Israel, who did not participate in the work, thinks these conclusions convincingly reveal how relationship patterns “carry forward” into new friendships. 58. What will happen to the teenagers with pushy parents? A. They lose social skills.
B. They have trouble presenting opinions. C. They express themselves in an aggressive way. D. They fail to inspire a difference of opinion.
59. What does the underlined word “domineering”in Paragraph 5 mean? A. alternative B. conservative C. powerful D. forceful
60. It can be inferred from the findings that parents should . A. communicate with children when setting rules B. learn new ways to establish new friendships C. seek more controlling strategies
D. help children develop abilities to follow rules 答案：58-60 BDA 解析：
第58题：B 第五段首句“The researchers suspect that pushy parents ruin their child’s ability to learn how to argue his or her own viewpoint in other relationships”以及第四段“They had difficulty stating their opinions in a confident, reasoned manner in comparison to the kids without controlling parents ”可知pushy parents的孩子是在表达观点上有困难的。
第59题：D 本题考察词义理解和句意理解，A项alternative是替代的，B项conservative保守的，powerful强大的，forceful强有力的，强劲的。联系横线所在句“Although parents do need to set boundaries ，domineering strategies imply that any disagreement will damage the bond itself”可知父母制定的界限和策略会使得任何分歧损害纽带本身，因此可排除A,B。C项powerful是褒义词，而根据本文controlling parents给孩子带来的坏影
