　　4. C.

　　Conversation Two

　　W: I have many business English students. When I teach in the classroom, (5) we often end up talking about things like success and what leads to success, and it's interesting that many of them mention the element of luck.

　　M: Right.

　　W: Luck is important to success, but since you've seen that fantastic video on the TED Talks website by Richard St. John...he doesn't mention luck at all.

　　M: Well, I'm a firm believer that people can make their own luck. I mean, what people regard as luck you can actually create to a degree.

　　W: Sure. (6-1) I think a lot of what people consider luck is attributed to how you respond to the opportunities that come your way.

　　M: Yes. Very good point.

　　W: (6-2) Seizing the opportunities. But was there any point in the video that you thought was particularly interesting?

　　M: Yes, actually there was. Something very impressive to me is many people think that luck is important and that natural talent is something you must have in order to be successful (7) And in the video we saw, the point about getting good at something is not about having some natural talent. It's all about practice,practice, practice.

　　W: Definitely yeah. Natural talent helps in some way. But at the end of the day, you really do need to work hard and get really, really good at what you do.

　　M: Sure.

　　W: I thought one interesting thing in the video was the idea of passion being so important. And there're people who really love what they do--of course, you're going to want to work harder and put the time and effort into it. (8) And the funny thing is that if you love what you do and are really passionate about it and work really hard, then money kind of comes automatically.

　　Recording Two

　　In the past few months, I've been traveling for weeks at a time with only one suitcase of clothes. One day, I was invited to an important event, and I wanted to wear something special for it. I looked through my suitcase but couldn't find anything to wear. (19) I was lucky to be at the technology conference then, and I had access to 3D printers. So I quickly designed a skirt on my computer, and I loaded the file on the printer.It just printed the pieces overnight. The next morning, I just took all the pieces, assembled them together in my hotel room, and this is actually the skirt that I'm wearing right now.

　　So it wasn't the first time that I printed clothes. (20) For my senior collection at fashion design school, I decided to try and 3D print an entire fashion collection from my home. The problem was that I barely knew anything about 3D printing, and I had only nine months to figure out how to print five fashionable looks.

　　I always felt most creative when I worked from home. I loved experimenting with new materials, and I always tried to develop new techniques to make the most unique textiles for my fashion projects.

　　One summer break, I came here to New York for an internship at a fashion house in Chinatown. We worked on two incredible dresses that were 3D printed. They were amazing--like you can see here. But I had a few problems with them. (21) They were made from hard plastics and that's why they were very breakable.The models couldn't sit in them, and they even got scratched from the plastics under their arms.

　　So now, the main challenge was to find the right material for printing clothes with, I mean the material you feed the printer with. (22) The breakthrough came when I was introduced to Filaflex, which is a new kind of printing material. It's strong, yet very flexible. And with it, I was able to print the first garment, a red jacket that had the word "freedom" embedded into it. And actually, you can easily download this jacket, and change the word to something else, for example, your name or your sweetheart's name.

　　So I think in the future, materials will evolve, and they will look and feel like fabrics we know today, like cotton or silk.

　　26.G.hypotheses

　　27.B.contextual

　　28.A.arena。空格位于形容词之后，据此判断可填入名词，并与public连用构成固定搭配。故推测句意为“我们的国家需要更多科学家登上公共舞台”。因此填入A.arena“舞台，竞技场”。在备选项中，digitS意为“数字”，inertia意为“惯性，惰性”，warrant意为“授权，授权令”，均不符合文意，且不能与public搭配，故排除。

　　29.C.convincing。空格位于以that引导的定语从句中，此定语从句使用了主系表结构，据此判断应填入形容词，且此形容词可以用来修饰language“语言”。根据句意“他们能够用令人信服并且让人们听得懂的语言，对公众解释自己的所作所为”可知，答案为C.convincing“有说服力的，使人信服的”。在备选项中，indefinite意为“不确定的”，与文意相反，故排除。

　　30.I.incorporate

　　31.D.devoted

　　32.N.reaping。空格位于句子的主体结构之外，描述主句动词所引发的结果，属于结果状语成分，据此判断可填人现在分词。根据句意“美国将大约17%的可支配收入专门用于科学研究，­­________­­­­­­­了数十年的经济增长”可知，答案为N.reaping“收获”。在备选项中，impairing意为“损害”，不符合文意，故排除。

　　33.E.digits

　　34.M.pride。空格位于句子的谓语动词处，且此动词应能够与on构成固定搭配，备选项中只有M.pride“以……为豪”，符合语法要求。所在旬意为“我们不仅为我们的科研质量自豪，也为我们的科研为改进世界所做出的贡献自豪”。在备选项中，hasten意为“加速”，indulge意为“放纵，使沉溺于”，均与文意不符，故排除。

　　35.F.hasten
