Creighton Montgomery had enough money to mould (塑造) his daughters according to his misconceptions that girls were not meant to fend for themselves so he protected them from life. What is to say is that Marianne Montgomery grew up without making any vital choices for herself. Prevented from acquiring the habits of freedom and strength of character which grow from decision-making, very rich girls, whose parents have the means to protect them in such a crippling fashion, are the last representatives of Victorian womanhood. Though they may have the boldest manners and most up-to-date ideas, they share their great grandmothers‟ humble dependence.Most parents these days have to rely on their force of personality and whatever love and respect they can inspire to exert any influence over their children at all, but there is still an awful lot of试卷第2页，共13页parental authority that big money can buy. Multi- millionaires have more of everything than ordinary people, including more parent power, and their sons and daughters have about as much opportunity to develop according to their own inclinations(意向) as they would have had in the age of absolute monarchy (君主专制) .The rich still have families. The great divide between the generations is the state of the lower and middle classes, whose children begin to drift away as soon as they are old enough to go to school. The parents cannot control the school, and have even less say as to what company and ideas the child will be exposed to; nor can they isolate him from the public mood, the spirit of the age. It is an often heard complaint of the middle-class mother, for instance, that she must let her children watch television for hours on end every day if she is to steal any time for herself. The rich have no such problems; they can keep their offspring busy from morning to night without being near them for a minute more than they choose to be, and can exercise almost total control over their environment.As for schooling, they can handpick tutors with sound views to come to the children, who may never leave the grounds their parents own, in town, in the country, by the sea, unless for an exceptionally secure boarding school or a well- chaperoned (伴护着的) trip abroad. It would have been easier for little Marianne Montgomery to go to Cairo than to the nearest newsstand. 1、The author implies that Marianne Hardwick‟s timidity were closely associated with ______. A ．the inborn characteristics of the weaker sex B ．the conditions where she was brought up C ．the consumption of her energy D ．her physical activity and longing2、Which of the following is true according to the passage?

C ．Middle-class mothers usually steal time for their children.D ．Rich parents may have more control over their children than the middle-class parents do 3、What can we know about Creighton Montgomery's daughters from the passage? A ．They did not have up-to-date ideas. B ．They were unintelligent. C ．They did not have much freedom. D ．They had no physical activity.4、It can be learned from the passage that multimillionaires‟ children have ______.A．little opportunity to develop according to their own inclinationsB．absolute opportunity to develop according to their own inclinationsC．more opportunity to develop according to their own inclinations than ordinary children D．as much opportunity to develop according to their own inclinations as ordinary children 5、What is the main idea of this passage?A．The rich control their children's lives without being near them.B．The generation gap only occurs in the lower and middle classes.C．Rich parents have more authority over their children than poor parents.D．Rich girls who are being overprotected by their parents are rather dependent.You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd,” Gray told the BBC. “They are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, liftusers unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want –it‟s your own little box.If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance.When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.New entrants(新进入者) to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone.Why are we so awkward in lifts?“You don‟t have enough space,” Professor B abette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the试卷第4页，共13页Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm‟s length of distance between us. And that‟s not possible in most elevators.” In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (理解) as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.6、The main purpose of the article is to______. A ．remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevator B ．tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette C ．share an interesting but awkward elevator ride D ．analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator7、According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _____. A ．turn around and greet one another B ．look around or examine their phone C ．make eye contact with those in the elevator D ．try to keep a distance from other people8、Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?9、The under lined phrase “size up” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _____. A ．judge B ．ignoreC ．put up withD ．make the best of 10、According to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of _____. A ．someone‟s odd behaviors B ．the lack of spaceC ．their unfamiliarity with one anotherD ．their eye contact with one anotherThe National Trust in Britain plays an increasingly important part in the preservation for public enjoyment of the best that is left unspoiled of the British countryside. Although the Trust has received practical and moral support from the Government, it is not a rich governmentdepartment. It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings of Britain. It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public. Its primary duty is to protect places of great natural beauty and places of historical interest.The attention of the public was the first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and the castles of Britain by the death of the Lord Lothian, who left his greatseventeenth-century house to the Trust together with the 4500-acre park and estate surrounding it. This gift attracted wide publicity and started the Trust‟s “Country House Scheme”. Under this scheme, with the help of the Government and the general public, the Trust has been able to save and make accessible to the public about 150 of these old houses. Last year, about 1.75 million people paid to visit these historic houses, usually at a very small charge.In addition to country houses and open spaces, the Trust now owns some examples of ancient wind and water mills, nature reserves, 540 farms and nearly 2500 cottages or small village houses, as well as some complete villages. In these villages no one is allowed to build, develop or disturb the old village environment in any way and all the houses are maintained in their original 16th century style. Over 4,000 acres of coastline, woodland, and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development or disturbances of any kind are permitted. The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect the peace, beauty and wildlife. Over the past 80 years the Trust has become a big and important organization and an essential and respected part of national life. It helps to preserve all that is of great natural beauty and of historical significance not only for future generations of Britons but also for the millions of tourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historic and cultural heritage.11、The National Trust is a ______.A．government agency depending on voluntary servicesB．non-profit organization depending on voluntary servicesC．government department but is not richD．private organization supported by the government12、The National Trust is devoted to ______.A．preserving the best public enjoymentB．providing the public with free access to historic buildingsC．offering better services to visitors home and abroadD．protecting the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings试卷第6页，共13页13、We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Lord Lothian ______. A ．donated all his money to the Trust B ．started the “Country House Scheme” C ．saved many old country houses in Britain D ．was influential in his time14、All the following can be inferred from the passage EXCEPT ______. A ．the Trust is more interested in protecting the 16th century houses B ．many people came to visit the historic houses saved by the Trust C ．visitors can get free access to some places owned by the Trust D ．the Trust has a story which is longer than 80 years15、The underlined word “invade” in the last Paragraph is closest in meaning to _____. A ．come in without permission B ．enter with invitation C ．visit in large numbers D ．appear all of a suddenWhen we found him, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were torn, his hands bleeding. Before we reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked unsteadily a few yards through the woods and fell again. After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night. We found him just in time.This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. What had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk, if he had made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway or off a known path.Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it‟s still largely a question of observation. A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes the shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a swamp, and the way a tree leans across a path. With these in mind, he is still likely to turn around many times, but he is seldom lost.There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does come across some strange problem that puts him into the “lost” situation. A rainstorm may catch him without a compass in his pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light.When this happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may also be concerned about the inconvenience that he will cause his friends when he doesn‟t show up. This false pride may lead h im to keep on the move in a false effort to find his way against all difficulties.The person who thinks ahead is seldom in great danger. He‟ll be safe if he observes carefully, thinks ahead, and remains calm.16、The writer suggested that if the man had not been found, ______. A ．he would have been shot by a gun B ．he would have become confusedC ．he would have been attacked by wild animalsD ．he would have been in great danger17、According to the text, if a person gets lost in the forest, at the very beginning,___. A ．he will worry about being laughed at B ．he will push himself to find his way outC ．he will feel sorry that he didn‟t prepare well enoughD ．he will feel it is convenient to ask for help from his friends18、What is the most important when a person tries to find his way in the woods? A ．Intelligence. B ．Observation. C ．Direction. D ．Chance.19、The writer tells the story of the lost man as an example of people who ______. A ．go into the woods by themselves B ．keep their head when they are in trouble C ．are frightened when they think they are lost D ．don‟t know how to signal for help properly 20、What is probably the best title for the passage? A ．A Man Lost in the Woods B ．Timely Rescue in the Woods C ．Don‟t Panic When Lost in the Woods D ．A Pathfinder in the Woods二、完形填空（题型注释）试卷第8页，共13页The day I was given the news was a cold Saturday. My mom sat me on the floor and opened her mouth to give me the most words I'd ever heard: “Grandma Billie has been diagnosed with cancer.” Tears filled my eyes immediately. Mom continued, “Grandma is old and her body is too . There‟s nothing they can do to treat her.” I knew this wasn't my mom‟s fault but I was so . I was almost yelling at my mom, “So, they‟re just going to let her ?”We had to just wait for her to die. I couldn't even the thought. We went to the hospital right away. The doctor said, “Billie has a tumor in her . She won't be able to because it hurts her too much. One option is a feeding tube, but there are times when it will be uncomfortable.” At th e end, the doctor sighed, “With a feeding tube, she would probably have three at most.”My whole family on my mom‟s side was really and they were all looking to God to make this easy. I couldn't handle it. If God was so wonderful and so then why did he allow all these awful things to happen to good people? Why was he letting my grandma die? I came and visited every day after practice. Grandma would tell me the stories over and over again, but every time I was just as surprised and excited to hear them. She was getting really fast and every time I came to see her it broke my heart more. 3 weeks later, after the softball practice, I was getting ready to see grandma when mom appeared in the locker room. She opened her mouth but at first no words came out. She again, “You can‟t go to see grandma today because she just died.” Silence. I couldn‟t anyone else in the room.

And the very concept of garden birds was meaningless. The term hadn’t even been invented. Garden birds are creatures of our making.

A child is born into a family and becomes a part of the society later. There have to be certain principles in place to determine one’s behavior and ensure a harmonious society.My family values were primarily shaped by my mother. As a child, she always reminded me to be punctual and to work harder. But her greatest gift was teaching me the importance of honesty. She taught me that mistakes in life were unavoidable, but I should never sacrifice my honesty to cover for my mistakes.Honesty has been with me ever since. In my friendships, I’m always willing to admit to errors and never pretend to be all-knowing. That’s why many friends come to me for help. They know I’ll be straight-forward and tell them the truth, not only the things they want to hear. As my mother said: “When we’re honest, we earn others’ trust and society’s credit”.附2：评分说明（主观题部分）语法填空评分说明：按照所给答案给分。

But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty up set and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish”, I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun huts their eyes…The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them..When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.31. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A. He could not catch a fish.B. His father was not patient with him.C. His father did not teach him fishing.D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.32. What did the author’s father really mean?A. To read about fish.B. To learn fishing by oneself.C. To understand what fish think.D. To study fishing in many ways.33. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _________.A. in deep water on sunny daysB. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlightD. in shallow water under waterside trees.34. After entering the business world, the author found _________.A. it easy to think like a customerB. his father’s fishing advice inspiringC. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonableD. it difficult to sell services to poor people35. This passage most likely comes from _________.A. a fishing guideB. a popular sales bookC. a novel on childhoodD. a millionaire’s biographyCDaniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.36. By watching TV, children learn _________.A. images through wordsB. more than explicit meaningsC. more about images than wordsD. little about people’s psychology37. An educational program is best watched by a child _________.A. on his ownB. with other kidsC. with his parentsD. with his teachers38. Which of the following is most related to children’s readin g ability?A. Radio-listeningB. Television-watchingC. Parents’ reading listD. Parents’ educational background39. Anderson believed that _________.A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he isB. the younger a child is, the more he watches TVC. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TVD. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school40. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To advise on the educational use of TV.B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on chi ldren.C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.D. To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas.DIt was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the 'decline of class' and 'classless society' in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice, Most people said this accent sounded 'educated' and 'soft'. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional（地区的）city accents. These accents were seen as 'common' and 'ugly'. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song 'Common People' puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may 'want to live like common people' they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.41. A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain ________.A. it is time to end class distinctionB. most people belong to middle classC. it is easy to recognize a person’s classD. people regard themselves socially different42. The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.A. varietyB. most people belong to middle classC. authorityD. qualification43. The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded as _________.A. regionalB. educatedC. prejudicedD. unattractive44. British attitudes towards accent _________.A. have a long traditionB. are based on regional statusC. are shared by the AmericansD. have changed in recent years45. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The middle class is expandingB. A person’s accent reflects his classC. Class is a key part of British societyD. Each class has unique characteristics.答案仅供参考：1-5 ADCAB 6-10 DCADC 11-15 ABACD16 a 17 Luckily 18 for 19 was left 20 when21 fell 22 without 23 to sell 24 where 25 him26-30 ABBAC 31-35 ACDBB 36-40 BCDCD 41-45 DBDAC 46-50 FCBDA。

Though giant pandas may appear perfectly happy chewing bamboos, scientists recently discovered that they would rather have something sweeter. Scientists chose 1because the animals are herbivores (食草动物), which would mean that they would love sweets. However, the plant they choose, the bamboos, has a very 2 sugar content and is therefore not considered sweet. Could this mean that pandas have 3 their hobby for sweet things?The pandas were given six kinds of sweet liquids that are 4 found in fruits and vegetables. They were also given 5 at the same time. In each of the taste tests, the animals 6 the natural sweeter liquids and ignored the water 7 . They ate up all the sweet liquids and the water was left untouched.What was even more interesting is that when the scientists 8 the water with five different man-made sweeteners, ones that humans find delicious, the pandas were not as 9 . In these tests, they picked the water instead. The scientists believe that it could be either because pandas found them to be too 10 or not sweet enough and that the mixture could not 11 the pandas.The scientists were not too 12 by the results, since pandas in zoos have always shown a preference for treats like apples, sweet potatoes and even mooncakes.

Started in 1984 as a one-off conference, TED has become a worldwide community of the people who seek deeper understanding of the world. The attendees are mostly influential people including scientists, musicians, adventurers, religious leaders and so on. The speakers are given a maximum of 18 minutes to present their ideas on any topic. Since June 2006, the talks have been posted on the websites and offered for free viewing online, and by November 2012, TED talks had been watched over one billion times worldwide.第二节：读写任务（共1小题；满分25分）One possible version:It’s difficult for Chinese parents to get along with their children because they expect them to be under their control. Instead of showing dissatisfaction, children should improve the relationship by talking to parents openly, expressing gratitude and sharing responsibilities.Honestly, like many of my peers, I find it difficult to get along well with my parents. Though it may sound embarrassing, I have to admit that sometimes I am impatient when talking to my parents, without any eye contact. More terribly, I even pretend to obey my parents, while secretly I will do the things that my parents never allow me to do.In my opinion, the reason why children and their parents can’t get along well is that there is a generation gap between them. On the one hand, parents expect too much on their children. They often set goals which are beyond their children’s capacity. On the other hand, children are dissatisfied with their parents’way of parenting. Such being the case, greater misunderstandings between parents and children arise.To improve the relationship, both parents and children should communicate more to better understand each other. And parents should give kids more encouragement instead of complaints. Thus, the relationship can be stabilized.基础写作评分说明基础写作主要考查考生语言结构的应用能力：能够用正确、规范的语言表达特定的内容。
