We are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision-making process has been
cut by stress or peer pressure. The real test of character is whether we can learn from our mistake, by understanding
5 / 17
why we acted as we did, and then __37__ ways to avoid similar problems in the future.
Making ethical(伦理的) decisions is a(n) __38___ part of avoiding future problems. We must learn to __39___risks, because if we can't see the risks were taking, we can't make responsible choices. To recognize risks, we need to know the rules and be ___40___of the facts.For example, one who doesn't know the rules about plagiarism(剽窃)may accidentally use words or ideas without giving___41___credit or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote(引用) and cite sources as__42___. But the fact that such a violation is "unintentional" does not excuse the misconduct. Ignorance is not a(n) ____43___.
Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts, but manage to fool themselves
about the risks they're taking by using excuses: "Everyone else does it, ","i'm not hurting anyone,
or "I really need this grade. "Excuses can get very complex: "I know i'm looking at anothers exam,even though i'm supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that's not ___44___ because. I'm just checking my answers, not copying, We must be honest about our actions, and
____45____ excuses. If we fool ourselves into believing we,re not doing anything wrong, we can't
see the real choice we're making--and that leads to bad decisions.
To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if.
your actions were public, and anyone could be watching over your shoulder. Would you feel proud or ___46___of your actions? If you'd rather hide your actions, that's a good indication that
you're taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself.

A Study of Point of view and Argument
Everyday life is an interaction(互动,相互作用) of points of view. Sometimes these interactions pass by virtually___47___ like when you find yourself forced to buy the newest cell phone but suddenly stop and ask yourself, Do I even need this thing? and then realize that the latest ad campaign has____48___ you of something without you really knowing it. Sometimes these interactions with others are obvious and deeply felt, like when an emotional argument__49___over why your father won’t quit smoking even though his health is __50____---you only see your desire for him to be OK, he only sees his independence, Then there are those times when these sorts of ___51__-feel delighted. like when you voice your opinion, as you do every year at the Thanksgiving table, about some political issue, and finally- after years of trying-see the ___52___ of hmm, you may be right' on your uncle's face.
Advertising, media, novels and even the people you love often aim to___53___ our opinions. We see the usual practice of close reading not just as a method of doing the academic work of looking closely at text evidence, word and structure, but as an opportunity to bring those practices together, to ___54___our students to see the subtle messages in texts and in their lives, to help them be strong and ___55____consumers of ideas and reflective, caring members of society.
One large, multi-year study suggested that many students graduated without being able to distinguish- __56___ from the influence of carefully designed opinions and public relations, We believe educators can help ___57___this. We want our students to be able to recognize the points of view and arguments in texts and in life to see when they are happening and to-__58____engage them. We want our students to listen to those points of view and arguments with an open mindto truly listen to what other people believe and respectfully __59____or question what they are saying. We also want our students to live with the confidence of ___60____ themselves to make sound-___61___, to make sense of the world, and to take risks.

Post-00s is a documentary about growing up. It covers almost every aspect of millennials’ experiences on their path toward adolescence - their struggles with schoolwork, their relationship with peers, their confusion if a younger brother or sister is born into the family, and their growing desire to keep a distance from their parents. But this five-episode series was different from any other TV program with a similar theme.
Post-00s was film over a period of 10 years, during which the show's makers followed a group of kids from when they were infants through to when they became teenagers. In other words, the show's "character" grow older for real, and their stories are all real.
"Coming-of-age" stories, as they're known, have special appeal. They satisfy our curiosity of looking at someone else' life, and we become more and more attached to the characters as if we truly know them. And while we enjoy the truthfulness of the stories because nothing is set in advance, we also cannot help but feel the cruelty of reality. After all, there's no re-writing of the script (副本) and there's no turning back - this is real life.
12 / 17
This realness can also be seen in Boyhood. a 2014 film that won the Silver Bear award for best director at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival. During a period of 12 years, the film follows the life of Mason Jr. played by US actor Ellar Coltrane - from when he was 6 to when he finished high school.
One of Boyhood's appeals comes from its "ordinariness". Mason Jr. isn't some child genius....He is a quietly spoken, fairly typical American boy, growing up in the Texas suburbs.
He likes riding his bike and playing video games.
While coming-of-age stories may look ordinary on the outside, they often allow us to look underneath the surface and see something extraordinary— the power of life itself.
69. In the documentary, we see post-00's growing experience EXCEPT .
A. how they deal with their studies.
B. how they help look after brothers or sisters.
C. how they get along with people of their age
D. how much they long to be independent of their parents
70. What do Post-00 and Boyhood have in common?
A. They're intended to win an award for best director.
B. The heroes and heroines are characters themselves.
C. They're a kind of reality show of ordinary kids' growth.
D. The stories are based on true life but polished by writers.
71. Audience are interested in "coming-of-age" stories because .
A. they can see the truth of life
13 / 17
B. they know the characters well
C. they are much fond of gossip.
D. they appreciate stories of daily life
72. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. Post-00s are different geniuses.
B. Actors are ordinary characters.
C. Documentary is real life
D. Life is one big Story
Section C(4')
Directions: complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. Our baby was not doing well, so Effie financed my wife's trip to New York for consultation with a specialist
B. Give your help to those in greater need.
C. The oddest part of the whole affair is that people whom I help often help others later on.
D. Effie worked diligently all her life.
AB. "Pay me whenever you like," said Effie, climbing back into her truck.
AC. "Don't give it to me all at once," she said.
14 / 17
“Any apples today?” Effie asked cheerfully at my window. I followed her to her truck and bought a kilo. On credit, of course. Cash was the one thing in the world I lacked just then 73 .
All pretense(借口) of payment was dropped when our funds, food and fuel decreased to alarming lows. Effie came often, always bringing some gift: a jar of peaches or some firewood There were other generosities. 74 Effie was not a rich woman. Her income, derived from investments she had made while running an interior decorating shop, had never exceeded $200 a month, which she supplemented by selling her apples. But she always managed to help someone poorer.
Years passed before I was able to return the money Effie had given me from time to time. She was ill now and had aged rapidly in the last year. "Here, daring," I said, "is what I owe(欠) you", 75 "Give it back as I gave it to you - a little at a time.” I think she believed there was magic in the slow discharge of a love debt.
The simple fact is that I never repaid the whole amount to Effie, for she died a few weeks late. By now, the few dollars Effie gave me have been multiplied many times. But curious thing began to happen.
Whenever I saw a fellow human in financial trouble, I was moved to help him. I can't afford to do this always, but in the ten years since Effie’s death, I have indirectly repaid my debt to her.
76 At that time, it seemed that my debt would forever go unsettled. So the account can be marked closed, for Effie’s love will go on in hearts that have never known her.

The Grasshopper in Van Gogh Painting
Art conservators (管理员) dream of finding hidden secrets in the masterpieces they look after. Rarely do they expect to find a dead grasshopper.
Conservators at the Nelson-Atkins museum of art in Kansas City said they discovered the dead insect in one of its star paintings, Vincent van Gogh’s Olive Trees, when it (77)_______ (scan) as part of the research for a catalogue of its French painting collection.
It was spotted by Mary Schafer. She told a local broadcaster that she found it in the work’s lower foreground. Looking at the painting with the microscope ，I came across the tiny body of a grasshopper covered in the paint, so it must have occurred in the wet paint back in 1889.
“We can connect it to Van Gogh painting outside, so we think of him battling the elements, dealing with the wind, the bugs, and then he’s got to walk back to his studio through the fields. What’s fun is that we can come up with all these stories for (78)_______ the insect landed in the paint.”
Schafer said they were curious to know if the grasshopper could be studied further to possibly identify (79) season Van Gogh painted Olive Trees.
Michael Engel, a professor at the University of Kansas, was approached to examine the grasshopper further. He discovered that part of the insect’s body was missing and there was no sign (80) movement in the surrounding paint. In other words, it was already dead (81)_______ it somehow landed on the artist’s wet canvas and could not be used for dating purposes.
Van Gogh painted Olive Trees in 1889, the year after his falling out with his friend Gauguin, (82)_______ may have led to his famous act of self-mutilation in the history of art: cutting off his own ear.
The grasshopper may not help in any art historical research but it has become a talking point for museum visitors, looking closely into the painting to see whether they can spot the dead insect.V. Translation (17%)
