It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote, “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can you help?”I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and whic h no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat t here, only looking up to look at the children’s drawing on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon-in complete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company(陪伴). But why did he never look at me?“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,”I thought, “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.“It’s your turn,” he said.After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university.Now he had really started to live his own life.Maybe I gave David something. But 1 also leaned that one, without any words, can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an car that listens.41. When he first met the author, David ________.A. felt a little excitedB. walked energeticallyC. looked a little nervousD. showed up with his teacher42. As a psychologist, the author ________.A. was ready to listen to DavidB. was skeptical (怀疑的)about psychologyC. was able to describe David’s problemD. was sure of handling David’s problem43. David enjoyed being with the author because he ________.A. wanted to ask the author for adviceB. needed to share sorrow with the authorC. liked the children’s drawings in the officeD. beat the author many times in the chess game44. What can be inferred about David?A. He recovered after months of treatment.B. He liked biking before he lost his family.C. He went into university soon after starting to talk.D. He got friends in school before he met the author.。

While the other coats drooped(低垂), this one looked as if it were 1 itself up. The coat had beautiful tailoring, a Fifth Avenue label and a(an) 2 price of $28, which was popular just then with 3 , but could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better, bearing that 4 of classic elegance(优雅). John tried it on and the fit was perfect.John 5 the coat to school the next day and came home wearing a big smile "Did the kids like your coat?" I asked. "They loved it," he said, 6 folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat. Over the next few weeks, a 7 came over John. Agreement replaced contrariness (作对) and reasoned discussion replaced fierce 8 . He became more mannerly and 9 , eager to please. He would generously loan his younger brother his tapes and lecture him 10 his behavior.When I mentioned this incident to his teacher and 11 what caused the changes, she said laughing. "It 12 be his coat!" Another teacher told him she was giving him a good 13 not only because he had earned 14 but because she liked his coat. At the library, we ran into a friend "Could this be John?" he asked surprisingly, 15 John's new height, assessing the cut of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another.John and I both know we should never 16 a person's clothes for the real person within them.17 there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see and for18 what is on the inside to what is on the outside.For John it is a time when it is as easy to try on different approaches to 19 as it is to try on a coat.

The truck started on the second try, and he backed out, shifted gears, and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun. Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading south on Washington 11, running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the highway as it swung east a little before meeting U.S Route 20.Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt impressed,stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called "memory snapshots." The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane, picking up U.S Route 2, which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota. He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog, a golden retriever, maybe, for travels like this and to keep him company at home. But he was frequently away; overseas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal. Still, he thought about it anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork. "I must get a dog then." He said to himself.Drives like this always put him into a sentimental mood. The dog was part of it. Robert Kincaid was alone as it's possible to be – an only child, parents both dead, distant relatives who had lost track of him and he of them, no close friends.He thought about Marian. She had left him nine years ago after five years of marriage. He was fifty–two now, that would make her just under forty. Marian had dreams of becoming a musician, a folksinger. She knew all of the Weavers' songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle. When he was home in the old days, he drove her to the shows and sat in the audience while she sang.His long absences – two or three months sometimes – were hard on the marriage. He knew that. She was aware of what he did when they decided to get married, and both of them had a vague (not clear) sense that it could all be handled somehow. It couldn't when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and, she was gone. The note read, "Robert, it didn't work out, I left you the Harmony guitar. Stay in touch."He didn't stay in touch. Neither did she. He signed the divorce papers when they arrived a year later and caught a plane for Australia the next day. She had asked for nothing except her freedom.(1)Which statement is true according to the passage?A.Kincaid's parents were dead and he only kept in touch with some distant relatives.B.Kincaid would have had a dog if he hadn't been away from home too much.C.Kincaid used to have a golden retriever.D.Kincaid needed a dog in doing his hard fieldwork.(2)Why did Kincaid stop to take photos while driving?A.To write “memory snapshots”.B.To remind himself of places he might want to visit again.C.To avoid forgetting the way back.D.To shoot beautiful scenery along the road.(3)What can you know about Marian?A.She died after five years of marriage.B.She was older than Kincaid.C.She could sing very well and earned big money.D.She was not a professional pop singer.(4)We can draw a conclusion from the passage thatA.Marian knew what would happen before she married Kincaid.B.Kincaid thought his absence would be a problem when he married Marian.C.It turned out that Marian could not stand Kincaid's absence and left him.D.After Marian left him, they still kept in touch with each other.阅读理解We all, at one time or another, have pretended to be a rock star, singing and dancing along to our favorite song. Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults, in the privacy of our homes. Me? I love to do that when I drive! I turn on the radio, find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm. Most of the time, I do this on my way to work.Yes, that is true. I will be in my nice work clothes, jamming while driving or stopped at a traffic light. I get weird looks from some people and others laugh. Personally, I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly!The definition for the word silly, according to the dictionary is: stupid, foolish and nonsensical. I know many people do not want to look foolish. So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is foolish!No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect. I don't care how educated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal, how rich, and so on… No one is perfect! So why pretend to be something you are not?Life is so short… You never know when this beautiful journey will be over, so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity(呆板)? Here is a quote by Souza, that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life: Dance as though no one is watching you,Love as though you have never been hurt before,Sing as though no one can hear you,Live as though heaven is on earth."When we were kids, we had no idea of what limitations were and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others. However, as we grew up, we lost that childlike innocence.So don't lose the child that still lives within you. The next time you feel down, go turn on your favorite song, and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow. Or watch something that makes you laugh. Laughter is the best medicine to whatever ails you and nothing is better than laughing so hard that your tummy hurts. Trust me, you will feel a whole lot better, and who doesn't want to feel good?(1)According to the passage, what does the writer usually do?A.He pretends to be a rock star.B.He dances in his own home.C.He sings songs while going to work.D.He gets jammed on his way to work.(2)What do other people think of the writer?A.They think that the writer is strange.B.They look down upon the writer.C.They believe that the writer is lonely.D.No one is interested in the writer.(3)What is the writer's opinion about the people who look very serious?A.They are honest.B.They are silly.C.They are perfect.D.They are educated.(4)The writer quotes Souza to show that _______.A.life is a beautiful journeyB.life is full of rigidityC.life is like a great recipeD.life is to be treasured(5)The underlined part "the child" in the last paragraph probably refers to _______.A.the writerB.any childC.the feeling of being a childD.the time of being a child阅读理解Imagine your body is like the house you live in. Every day, your family creates rubbish. The rubbish builds up until it is put out for the weekly garbage collection.Now, say you put three bags of garbage out, but because one of the collectors was away sick, only two bags are collected. You take the leftover bag inside to be put out again next week. The following week you put out another three bags, plus the leftover bag from last week. But again, only two bags are collected. Imagine this cycle is repeated over the following weeks.This is a simple description of what happens to your body when your kidneys (肾) don't work efficiently. Your body is not thoroughly emptied of waste products. Other areas of the body such as blood pressure and red blood cell production are affected and the insidious process that may lead to kidney failure begins.It's not uncommon for people to lose up to 90 percent of their kidney function before developing any symptoms. There may be no warning signs. This makes early detection(诊察) difficult.Kidney's main job is to remove toxins (毒素) and unwanted water from our blood. Every day our kidneys clean an average of 200 litres of blood. Kidney failure may be a gradual and silent process, going unnoticed because there is no apparent pain.Research shows that more than 25 percent of patients found to require dialysis (透析) do not see a kidney specialist until less than 90 days before dialysis starts. Some risk factors for kidney disease such as age and genetic make-up are out of our control; however, some changes in lifestyle may help prevent kidney damage. Two major risk factors for kidney disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, have been on the rise over the lastfew decades. Both conditions are chiefly affected by being overweight and not getting enough exercise, which are the potential factors for the disease.(1)The author gives the example of the house we live in to indicate that ________.A.it's safe and harmless for our body to keep some wasteB.it doesn't matter much if the waste in our body is not emptied in timeC.it's important for our body to empty the waste in time every dayD.our body will not produce any waste if our kidneys work efficiently(2)The underlined word "insidious" (in Paragraph 3) means ________.A.gradual and unnoticedB.apparent and fastC.smooth and safeD.painful and long(3)We can infer that when we find some symptoms related to our kidneys, ________.A.the kidney failure beginsB.the kidneys may have been seriously damagedC.we have lost about 10 percent of kidney functionD.the kidneys can still work properly(4)How many factors of kidney disease are mentioned in the passage?A.Three.B.Four.C.Five.D.Six.(5)Which of the following helps prevent kidney damage?A.Go to see a kidney specialist shortly before dialysis starts.B.Go to see a kidney specialist whenever you find any warning sign.C.Try to keep low blood pressure and a stable lifestyle.D.Take enough exercise and make early detection of kidney disease.阅读理解The Diet Zone: A Dangerous PlaceDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word "diet" everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential(潜力)of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically. Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically.On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤) instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word "diet" in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don't have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.(1)From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.A.diet products fail to bring out people's potentialB.people have difficulty in choosing diet productsC.diet products are misleading peopleD.people are fed up with diet products(2)In Paragraph 3, "gain comes without pain" probably means_______.A.losing weight is effortlessB.it costs a lot to lose weightC.diet products bring no painD.diet products are free from calories(3)Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products .A.are over-consumedck basic nutrientsC.are short of chemicalsD.provide too much energy(4)Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?Notes: CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionA. B. C. D.四、单词填空16.The Internet has already changed our lives so p ________ that we can't live a day without going online.17.The vast forests of West Africa ________(缩小)all these years due to the deforestation of local people.

In fact, my father, who 36 from Indian Government service, had never traveled by air before, so I just took this 37 to make his experience wonderful. In spite of being asked to 38 tickets by train, I got them tickets on Jet Airways.The moment I handed over the tickets to him, the 39 was very obvious on his face. Just like a schoolboy, he was 40 himself busily on that day. We all went to the airport together, asking for a window seat and waiting 41 for the security check-in to happen. He was completely 42 himself and I, too, was overcome with 43 watching him experience all these things. 44 my parents were about to go in for the security check-in, he walked up to me with 45 in his eyes and thanked me, saying the trip meant a great deal to him.As a child, did we think about the 46 our parents had to make to satisfy many of our wishes? Did we 47 say thanks for all that they have done for us? Many times, when my parents asked me some questions, I would actually answer back without 48 . When my daughter asks me something, I have been very 49 in answering. Now I realize how they must have felt at those moments. Let us realize that old age is a second 50 and just as we take care of our children, the same 51 and same care need to be given to our parents and elders.52 my dad saying thank you to me, I would want to say I’m sorry fo r making him53 so long for this small dream.

As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports weren’t written until the final threat.I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student (技校学生). They’re called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they d on’t often make school honor rolls (光荣榜).But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.My son, with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts (零件) from a junkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The cost was $25 instead of $800.Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need bui lders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.56. What used to be the author’s hope for his son?A. To avoid becoming his clone.B. To resemble him in appearance.C. To develop in a different direction.D. To reach the author’s unachieved goals.57. What can we learn about the author’s children?A. His daughter does better in school.B. His daughter has got a master’s degree.C. His son tried hard to finish homework.D. His son couldn’t write his book reports.58. The author let his son repair the car because he believed that ________.A. His son had the ability to fix itB. it would save him much timeC. it wouldn’t cause him any more lossD. other motorheads would come to help59. In the author’s eyes, motorheads are ________.A. tidy and hardworkingB. cheerful and smartC. lazy but brightD. relaxed but rude60. What did the author realize in the end?A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.B. It is important for one to make the honor roll.C. Architects play a more important role than builders.D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.BE veryone looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person’s ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead to a better life and a better way of doing things. All these, however, remain true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who miss the “good old days”, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes more efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to. The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication gadgets, such as mobile phones and iPads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally. A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off.With efficiency also comes mass production. Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today. Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch (手法, 风格) when making these products. For example, many handicrafts (手工艺品) are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handcraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people’s attitude. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new “past” is created.61. According to Paragraph 1, progress can benefit people when they are willing to ________.A. live a better lifeB. look for better methodsC. change ways of livingD. accept technology and advance steadily62. The underlined word “gadgets” is closest in meaning to ________.A. toolsB. messagesC. barriersD. skills63. The author explains “efficiency comes with a price” by ________.A. describing a processB. using examplesC. following time orderD. making classification64. Compared with home-made handicrafts, machine-made products ________.A. lack great accuracyB. lack the personal touchC. are of high valueD. are quite welcome65. What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4?A. It can destroy old traditions.B. It can lead to social progress.C. It can be used to correct mistakes.D. It can be used to preserve old products.66. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. Progress can suit the needs of daily life.B. People review the past with great regret.C. Technology should be introduced in a fixed way.D. People’s attitude decides the use of technology.CSoaping up your hands may do more than just get rid of germs. It may wash away the inner confusion you feel right after being forced to make a choice between two appealing choices, according to a new study. The study buil ds on past research into a phenomenon known as “the Macbeth effect”.It turns out that Shakespeare was really onto something when he imagined Lady Macbeth trying to clean her conscience (良知) by rubbing invisible bloodstains from her hands. A fewyears ago, scientists asked people to describe a past wrong act. If people were then given a chance to clean their hands, they later expressed less guilt than people who hadn’t cleaned.This finding fascinated W. S. Lee, a researcher. “Anything from the past, any ki nd of negative emotional experiences, might be washed away,” says Lee.He decided to test hand washing’s effect on one kind of bad feeling: the tension we feel after being forced to choose between two attractive choices, because picking one choice makes us feel that we’ve lose the other. People usually try to calm this inner conflict by later exaggerating (夸大) the positive aspects of their choice.He had students rank 10 different music CDs. Then he offered students one CD as a gift. Some students then use liquid soap. Others only looked at the soap or sniffed (嗅) it. “Actually, you do not need water and soap,” says Lee.Later, the students again had to rank all the music. People who didn’t wash their hands had the normal response --- they scored their take-home CD higher, suggesting that they now saw it as even more attractive than before. But this wasn’t true for the hand washers. They ranked the music about the same. “They feel no need at all to justify the choice,” says Lee.But the implications of it jus t aren’t clear. Schwarz says it’s too soon to know whether people should head for a sink after making a tough choice. He says washing may help decision-makers by cleaning away mental disorder. But perhaps if they don’t go through the usual post-decision process of justifying their choice, they might feel more sorrow in the long run.67. The Macbeth effect refers to the fact that ________.A. Shakespeare did scientific research before writing MacbethB. soaping up one’s hand may help wash away the inne r confusionC. people feel less guilty by removing invisible germs from their handsD. people generally feel less ashamed after washing their hands68. According to Lee, after people make the choice ________.A. they will overstate the goodness of their chosen choiceB. they will feel regretful for not choosing anotherC. they will feel free due to the feeling of losing the other choiceD. they will not think of their chosen choice to calm their inner conflict69. According to Lee, the hand washers consider the judgment of choice ________.A. more scientificB. unnecessaryC. a little convincingD. absolutely useless70. What does Schwarz need to research more?A. Whether people need to justify their choice.B. Whether people feel more sorrow after washing hands.C. Whether washing hands help over a long period of time.D. Whether washing hands is helpful to make a choice.71. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Is Washing Hands Necessary to Defeat TensionB. Washing Hands Washes Our MindC. Washing Hands Helps Make a Better ChoiceD. Washing Hands Reduces the Stress of DecisionII 卷(满分31分)V. 词语填空根据句意用所给单词或短语的正确形式填空(共16小题;每题1分;共16分)72.

It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote, “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can you help?”I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and whic h no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawing on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon-in complete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company(陪伴). But why did he never look at me?“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought, “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.“It’s your turn,” he said.After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.Maybe I gave David something. But 1 also leaned that one, without any words, can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an car that listens.41. When he first met the author, David ________.A. felt a little excitedB. walked energeticallyC. looked a little nervousD. showed up with his teacher42. As a psychologist, the author ________.A. was ready to listen to DavidB. was skeptical (怀疑的)about psychologyC. was able to describe David’s problemD. was sure of handling David’s problem43. David enjoyed being with the author because he ________.A. wanted to ask the author for adviceB. needed to share sorrow with the authorC. liked the children’s drawings in the officeD. beat the author many times in the chess game44. What can be inferred about David?A. He recovered after months of treatment.B. He liked biking before he lost his family.C. He went into university soon after starting to talk.D. He got friends in school before he met the author.45. What made David change?A. His teacher’s help.B. The author’s friendship.C. His exchange of letters with the author.D. The author's silent communication with him.BNormally a student must attend a certain number of course in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for degree consists of thirty-six course, each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks, while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective(预期的,未来的)employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of word, but in spite of this some students still find time for great. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.46. Normally a student would at least attend ________ classes each week.A. 36B. 12C. 20D. 1547.

Scientists researched the effects of short- and long-term sleep loss and found that those who suffer long-term sleep loss may function normally soon after waking up, but experience steadily slower reaction times as the day goes by, even if they had tried to catch up the previous night.The research has important safety significances in an increasingly busy society, not just forshift-workers but for the roughly one in six Americans who regularly get six hours or less of sleep a night.“We know that staying awake 24 hours without sleep will affect your performance to do all sorts of things, and this effect equals to drinking too much when driving,” said lead researcher Dr. Daniel Cohen of Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital. But when those who suffer long-termsleep loss become all-nighters, “the harm is increased ten times,” Cohen said.The National Institutes of Health says adults need seven hours to nine hours of sleep for good health.Regularly getting too little sleep increases the risk of health problems, including memory impairment and a weakened immune system. More immediately, too little sleep affects reaction times; sleepiness is to blame for car crashes and other accidents.It has critically important complicated and unexpected results for anyone who works “crazy hours” and thinks they are performing fine with a few hours of weeknight sleep, said Harris, director at New York’s Montefiore Medical Center. “Don’t think you can just bank up your sleep on the weekend, because it doesn’t work that way,” he warned.51.The text mainly advises people ______.A.to sleep more time B.to sleep in on SaturdayC.to sleep scientifically D.to sleep little on weekend52.People with long-term sleep loss ______.A.are quicker in thinking B.may feel refreshed soon after waking upC.are surely energetic D.can have a strong sense of security53.What can we learn from the text?A.Most of the Americans get six hours or less of sleep a night.B.Staying up is worse for those who suffer long-term sleep loss.C.Traffic accidents have little to do with sleepiness.D.One in six Americans are all-nighters.54.Which of the following is the immediate effect of long-term sleep loss?A.Health problems B.Immune systemC.Reaction times D.Memory impairment55.The underlined p hrase “bank up” in the last paragraph most probably means ____.A.pile up B.pick up C.add up D.build upⅣ.阅读表达(10%)Are you a shy person Do you find shyness prevents you from thinking clearly and performing well in your work Overcoming shyness takes time and it is certainly worth taking some steps.

In fact, everyone can overcome shyness. Next time you meet strangers or have to speak before others, try to be brave. You can do it. What’s more, the older you are, th e more experience you have.

Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission.

It explained his absence from class the day before.I had seen Mikey himself writing the note at his desk. Most parental-excuse notes(请假条)I received were penned by my students. If I were to deal with them, I’d be busy 24 hours a day.The forged excuse notes made a large pile, with writing that ranged from imaginative to crazy. The writers of those notes didn't realize that honest excuse notes were usually dull: “Peter was late because the alarm clock didn’t go of.”Isn’t it remarkable, I thought, how the students complained and said it was hard putting 200 words together on any subject? But when they produced excuse notes, they were brilliant.So one day I typed out a dozen excuse notes and gave them to my classes. I said, “They’re supposed to be written by parents, but actually they are not. True, Mikey?” The students looked at me nervously.“Now, this will be the first class to study the art of the excuse note---the first class, ever, to practice writing them. You’re so lucky to have a teacher like me who has taken your best writing and turned it into a subject worthy of study.”Everyone smiled as I went on, “You used your imaginations. So try more now. Today I’d like you to write ‘An Excuse Note from Adam to God’ or ‘An Excuse Note from Eve to God’.” Heads went down. Pens raced across paper. For the first time ever I saw students so careful in their writing that they had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends.The next day everyone had excuse notes. Heated discussions followed. The headmaster entered the classroom and walked up and down, looking at papers, and then said, “I’d like you to see me in my office.”When I stepped into his office, he came to shake my hand and said, “I just want to tell you that that lesson, that task, whatever the hell you were doing, was great. Those kids were writing on the college level. Thank you.”60. What did the author do with the students found dishonest?A. He reported them to the headmaster.B. He lectured(训诫)them hard on honesty.C. He had them take notes before lunch.D. He helped improve their writing skills.61. The underlined word “forged” in the third paragraph means .A. formerB. copiedC. falseD. honest62. The author found that compared with the true excuse notes, the produced ones by the students were usually .A. less imaginativeB. more impressiveC. loss livelyD. more serious63.The author had the students practice writing excuse notes so that students could learn .A. the importance of being honestB. how to write excuse notes skillfullyC. the value of creative writingD. how to be creative in writing64. What did the headmaster think of the author’s way of teaching?A. Effective.B. DifficultC. Misleading.D. Reasonable.CDo you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized(分类)as “honor” helps you create this life of good feelings.Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.Say a store clerk fails to charge(收费)us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate(证明;表明)that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility(崇高,高贵).There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions.Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it’s started, it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.65. According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our .A. self-respectB. financial rewardsC. advertising abilityD. friendly relationship66. The author thinks that keeping silent about the unchanged item is equal to .A. lyingB. stealingC. cheatingD. advertising67. The phrase “bringing the error to the clerk’s attention” in Paragraph 5 means .A. telling the truth to the clerkB. offering advice to the clerkC. asking the clerk to be attentiveD. reminding the clerk of the prices68. How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?A. We’ll be very excited.B. We’ll feel unfortunate.C. We’ll have a sense of honor.D. We’ll feel sorry for the clerk.69.
