It was 1st January, the first day of the year and a holiday for me. I thought of getting the bank work out of the way. The bank person just nodded to my 35 “Happy New Year” when I sat in front of him.He was busy at that moment. After a few minutes he took my form and started filling in my details. I sat there 36 why we had computerized banking if we were still filling in forms.After waiting for a few more minutes, in which I showed all 37 of being impatient, I asked him if my work was done. He shouted even without looking at me, “Nothing is done, it will take time!”Just then I saw his morning cup of tea which had been lying there for ten minutes, untouched. The tea had turned 38 cold while he was doing his work. Suddenly I felt what this man must be feeling when customers 39 me came always in a hurry to get their work done. We did not even 40 the need to thank them for being there. He must be feeling so 41 that “here comes another person who will push me for doing his work first.”On an instinct(直觉) I told him, “Sir, please have your tea, I am not in a hurry.” He suddenly looked up at me and for the first time we had eye contact. I saw both of us sailing in the same boat. I felt that he was also 42 the small things in life like a cup of hot tea for a few more minutes. He gave me a smile and said, “It is an everyday affair with me; you are not in a hurry but 43 else will come, who will be in a hurry.”He really touched my heart with his wise 44 . I felt that we had all put shields (盾牌) on our hearts like we put gloves on our hands. All this time I thought of him as a robot, someone who was there for my convenience, 45 today I suddenly felt a strange closeness with him. I promised to be more friendly with people who helped me and be 46 that they were there for me.35. A. sad B. angry C. polite D. honest36. A. requiring B. wondering C. expecting D. arguing37.

We took a taxi and it wasn’t long before we arrived at the gate of the park. On seeing the green trees and blooming flowers, Tim couldn’t wait to take pictures. It was at that moment that we found his camera was gone. He searched all over his backpack but just couldn’t find it. Suddenly it occurred to me that he might have left it in the taxi. With anxiety and hope, we found out the invoice of the taxi, on which a phone number was printed, so I immediately got in touch with the taxi company. About half an hour later, the driver returned with the camera and you could imagine the wide smile spreading across Tim’s face. Both of us were grateful to the driver, and Tim, in particular, insisted on taking a photo with him.Tim and I enjoyed ourselves during the rest of the day, but it was that taxi driver who made our day.三、One possible version:Jim, look at this interesting picture. I think it tries to convey that we need to look at things from different angles.As we can see, the two kids are looking at the same number in the opposite direction and having an argument about whether the number is 6 or 9. They feel confused why the obvious truth seems invisible to the other. Similar arguments happen in our daily life when we observe things from our own points of view, just like the two kids in the picture. However, if we can exchange their angles, we may find the others’ “ridiculous” opinions also make sense.Therefore, let’s learn to handle problems from different perspectives and appreciate others’ points. Do you agree, Jim?可以接受的立意:1.要从不同角度看问题，尊重他人;2. 相信自己，不要人云亦云；3. 做事之前要确定标准；……。

The lion had just lain down beside him，his head warm on Bertie，s feet，when Father cleared his throat and began, “You’ll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We’v e found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England. ”His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. “But the lion,” he cried, “What about the lion?”“I’m afraid there’s something else I have to tell you, ” his father said. Looking across at Bertie’s mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days.“No! You can’t send him to a circus!” said Bertie. “People will come to see him. He’ll be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will laugh at him. He’d rather die. Any animal would ! ” But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up.Bertie felt completely betrayed. He waited until he heard his father’s deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels，he crept downstairs in his pyjamas ，took down his father’s rifle from the rack and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his armsround the lion’s neck. The time had come.“Be wild now”，he whispered. “You’ve got to be wild. Don’t ever come home. All my life I’ll think of you. I promise I will. ” He buried his head in the Iion5S neck. Then, Bertie clambered down the hill and walked away.When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.There was only one thing left to do. With tears filling his eyes and his mouth，he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the Iion9S head.56.Bertie’s mother was sad probably because she _____.A. had been seriously ill recentlyB. had decided to send Bertie to schoolC. knew selling the lion would upset BertieD. knew Bertie would hate to go to England57.The underlined word “they” in Para. 4 probably refers to _____.A. some audienceB. other animalsC.

But too much light at other times may actually cause such mood disorders. Long-lasting exposure to light at night brings depression, a new study finds, at least in animals.The new data confirm observations from studies of people who work night shifts, says Richard Stevens of the University of Connecticut Health Center. Mood disorders join a growing list of problems, including cancer, obesity and diabetes—that can occur when light throws life out of balance by disturbing the biological clock and its timing of daily rhythms.In the new study, Tracy Bedrosian and Randy Nelson of Ohio State University exposed mice to normal light and dark cycles for four weeks. For the next four weeks, half of the mice remained on this schedule, and the rest received continuous dim light throughout their night. Compared with mice exposed to normal nighttime darkness, those getting dim light at night lost their strong preference for sweet drinks，“ a sign they no longer get pleasure out of activities they once enjoyed，” Bedrosian says.In a second test, mice were clocked on how long they actively tried to escape a pool of water. Those exposed to night lights stopped struggling and just floated in the water, a sign of “behavioral despair”，10 times as long as the mice that had experienced normal nighttime darkness. All symptoms of depression disappeared within two weeks of the mice returning to a normallight-dark cycle, the researchers report. The scientists also could quash the behavioral symptoms by injecting (注射)the brains of animals with a drug that prohibits the activity of certain molecules linked with human depression. This finding further suggests that light at night may cause something related to depression.Human studies linking nighttime light and mood disorders are important but can’t easily detect molecular underpinnings (分子基础)as animal studies can，says George Brainard of Thomas Jefferson University. The new work, he says, suggests that the change of the biological clock by light at night can be “an extremely powerful force in regulating biology and behavior. ”63.After being exposed to continuous nighttime light，the mice _____.A. changed their preferencesB. escaped from the water more eagerlyC. remained active as beforeD. showed less interest in their favorites64.What does the underlined word “quash” in Para. 4 probably mean?A. studyB. predictC. easeD. cause65.We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.A. light at night may have practical valueB. the biological clock is beneficial to humansC. human mood disorders cannot be healed easilyD. human studies are more important than animal studies66.What is the main idea of the passage?A. Nighttime light may foster depression.B. A drug has been found to cure mood disorders.C. The study on animals can be applied to humans.D. Human biological clock can be controlled by light.DWhy Doesn’t Anybody Copy Apple?Apple’s products are the envy of the world. They have been spectacularly successful and arewidely imitated, if not copied. The minute Apple crystallizes a product, everyone knows how tocompete. This idea that the basis of competition is set by Apple and then the race is on to climb thepath of improvement is unquestionable. When Apple releases a product that defines a category ordramatically changes the structure of an industry, it becomes obvious what needs to be built. But what I wonder is why everyone wants to copy Apple’s products but nobody wants to copy being Apple?I can think of two reasons. Firstly, Apple is not worth copying because it’s not successful; secondly, Apple’s success cannot be copied because it is a magical process.There is a great deal of evidence for the first hypothesis. The idea of Apple being successful is not something reflected in its stock price. Being valued lower than the average company in the S&P(标准普尔)500 indicates that to whatever degree Apple was successful in the past, it’s not seen by the vast majority of observers as successful in the future. Why should one bother copying Apple if it results in being punished with a low valuation? If one works really hard at innovation and then that innovation becomes commoditized(商品化）very quickly, why should one bother?When innovation practitioners are asked what makes Apple successful, the answers regarding the cause of this success border on the mythical. The climax of this hypothesis is the “ chief-sorcerer” theory of success which places one magician，like Steve Jobs，in charge of casting all the right spells (符咒）.What about Apple’s own opinion of what makes it tick? Tim Cook refers to a great team and integration of hardware，software and services as unique Apple advantages. It’s a better explanation. Integration is something that can take a long time, but it is possible with great effort. A few companies are starting to make moves in that direction, but efforts are half-hearted. There is no “move the Earth” panic to be come an integrated company from Samsung, Google or Microsoft.My own suspicion is that Apple is more aware of what makes it special than it lets out. However, as Tim points out, it’s nota formula. It’s complex, it’s subtle, but it’s not magic. It’s a process that requires a degree of faith and courage.67.When a new product of Apple comes out, often it _____.A. ruins an industry dramaticallyB. starts a revolution of an industryC. puts itself in an unbeatable positionD. is soon overtaken by imitated products68.According to the passage, other companies don’t “copy being Apple” because _____.A. Apple is not a successful companyB. they have no access to relevant resourcesC. it’s hard to find a magician like Steve JobsD. being Apple takes more than time and efforts69.We can infer from Para. 5 that _____.A. other companies are dedicated to integrationB. Apple itself is fully aware of its unique advantagesC. Apple will hold the leading position in this industryD. other companies don’t have a great team as Apple does70. What does the author think of Tim Cook’s statement?A. Convincing.B. Disappointing.C. Unquestionable.D. Acceptable.E ApathyApathy is a state of lacking interest, enthusiasm or concern. 71 _____ They may also exhibit unfeelingness. Christians have condemned apathy as a lack of love and devotion to God and His works.72 _____ Also meaning “absence of passion” in Greek, the term “apatheia” was used by the Stoics(禁欲主义者)to show a desirable state of indifference towards events and things which lie outside one’s control.The modem concept of apathy became well known after World War I，when it was called “shell shock. ” Soldiers, living in the trenches among the bombing and gun fires, saw the battlefields filled with dead and wounded companions. 73 _____ In 1950，US novelist Passos wrote “Apathy is one of the characteristic responses of any living being when it is subjected to something too tense or too complicated to deal with. ” US philosopher Robert M. Hutchins summarizes the concerns about political indifference. He claims that the death of democracy is not likely to be a sudden murder from ambush (埋伏）74 _____ There may be other things contributing to a person’s apathy. Activist Dave Meslin argues that apathy is often the result of social systems actively blocking engagement and involvement. He describes various barriers that prevent people from knowing how or why they might get involved in something. 75 _____ These include ：political media that make it difficult for potentially interested people to find relevant information，and media descriptions of heroes as “ chosen ” by outside forces rather than self-motivated. He suggests that we redefine social apathy as a result of poorly designed systems that fail to invite others to participate.A. It will be a slow process of fading away from apathy and indifference.B. Apathetic people may lack a sense of purpose or meaning in their life.C. He focuses on designed choices that deliberately or indeliberately exclude people.D. The word “dispassion” is used for “apatheia”，so as not to confuse it with apathy.E. So they gradually developed a sense of disconnected numbness to normal social interaction.F. Although the word “apathy” originates from “apatheia”，it is important not to confuse the two terms.G. Author John McManamy argues apathy is a psychological problem for some depressed people，in which they get a sense that “nothing matters”.第一节情景作文（20分）假设你是红星中学高三（1)班的学生李华。

Every child was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.As some jobs were more interesting than others, the children were eager to be given one of the best. Among them Rita stood out. She was a kind and quiet girl. Last year she carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. She was the favorite to be given the best job —— to look after the class dog.But this year there was a big surprise. Each child received one of the normal jobs, like preparing the books for the lessons, cleaning the blackboard or looking after one of t he pets. But Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box with some sand and one ant. Although the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita could not help feeling disappointed.“I will turn this little task into something great,” Rita said to herself. She started to study everything about the little ant, gave it the best food and made the box perfect. The ant ended up growing quite a little bigger.One day, the teacher announced that Rita’s class had been chosen to accompany Doctor Martinez to the tropical rainforest to study all kinds of insects in summer, because the class had best cared for the little ant.The class was filled with joy. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible. And children learnt that to be given the most important tasks you have to know how to be responsible even in what are apparently the smallest tasks.50. How did Rita feel when she was given her job?A. Disappointed.B. Interested.C. Worried.D. Excited.51. The class was chosen to go to the rainforest because _______.A. everyone did a good jobB. Rita looked after the ant wellC. Rita was given the best jobD. the children studied the ant52. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?A. Being a good student will get praise and prizes.B. Every teacher thanked Rita for being kind and quiet.C. Studying insects can help people become more successful.D. We should be responsible for the job even if it seems small.CA great many people, when they speak of home, tend to connect it with a certain atmosphere, certain physical surroundings (环境), and certain emotional attitudes within themselves. This sentimentality(多愁善感) toward home is something that has come down to us from the past. Many modern people do not have it, and I think it is a good thing that they do not.In the old days, life was difficult. Enemies could attack you and kill or rob you, and you had little protection against them. People did not live in well-built houses where doors could be locked. They did not have the protection of an organized police force or telephones which could call the police instantly. How did this influence the way people felt about home? Small family groups clung(贴近) tightly together for protection against beasts and against other men.Today, thanks to modern transportation and well-organized society, thousands of people willingly and eagerly leave the surroundings where they were born, and the oftener they do so, the less sentiment they are likely to have for those surroundings. I lived in England for three years, and I noticed that boys and girls lef t their parents’ homes and lived in places of their own. There they could just telephone and ask an agency to provide them with a house or an apartment, which was their home. How has the meaning of this word “home” been changed by such activity? What does home mean to those people or to families who often move about, living in first one hotel and then another? I believe that for them home means a place where they can have privacy.As for me, the atmosphere and surroundings of the place where my parents live have no sentimental attachment(依恋). Home is where I can shut the door and be by myself. When I left my parents several years ago, I was anxious to leave. You might call it unfeeling, but that was the way I felt. On the day of my departure for the United States, my grandmother cried. My father, however, showed that he knew how I felt. “Son,” he said, “I am not sorry that you are leaving us. I only hope that you make the most of your time.”53. Why are modern people willing to leave their parents’ homes?A. Because they can afford the money to live outside.B. Because there are no wild animals or enemies around.C. Because the society provides them with the feeling of safety.D. Because they are not actually satisfied with their environment.54. What can we learn from the article?A. Surroundings influence the way that people act.B. Not many modern people have sentimentality toward home.C. Rights to privacy are well protected in modern society.D. Older people can hardly understand the leaving of the young.55. What is the best title for the passage?A. The History of HomeB. People and HomeC. Different Ideas about HomeD. Ideas of Home Have ChangedDDepression is not a choice. Rather, it is a true medical condition like high blood pressure or heart disease. In the United States alone, more than 17 million people suffer from depression with women being twice as likely as men to suffer from the disease. Depression crosses racial and socioeconomic lines. Anyone can suffer from it, and those that do are not “crazy” or “weak”. They have a serious yet highly treatable disease.Feeling down? You’re not alone. If depression seems pretty common, it is. One in every ten adults suffers from depression. And that’s what has scientists confused. If depression causes harm to the body, why is it so widespread in the population? Some scientists think they may have the answer. Depression may have an evolutionary (进化) benefit. It may improve one’s chances of fighting off infection (感染).Scientists have known that depressed people show an immunoreactive(免疫反应性的) condition known as inflammation (炎症)，even when they are not infected. For several years they have been finding that genes (基因) linked to depression also affect the function of the immune system. Stress, which can lead to depression, also change the immune system. These findings suggested that depression was somehow linked to the body’s ability to fight disease .Some scientists now come up with the idea that depression might have had an evolutionary advantage in the days before modern medicine and antibiotics(抗生素). Infection was a major cause of death in early human history. Surviving those infections determined which genes were passed to the next generation.They suspect that depression helped people, especially children, survive infection. Extreme tiredness leads to inactivity and less social contact which helps keep infection from spreading. Having no appetite helps avoid food sharing which can also spread infection. Sleeplessness, which is associatedwith both depression and immune system activation, may have been a mechanism to keep a person alert (机警) to fight off enemies after injury.If scientists are correct about this link, it could lead to new treatments for depression. They are interested in drugs that treat conditions where the immune system attacks the person’s own body, known as auto immune diseases. It is possible that medicine known to treat auto immune disease may be successful in treating depression also.56. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means ______.A. there is a depression line between different groups and societiesB. people at a higher social position may tend to suffer from depressionC. people who are living with depression could connect with each otherD.anyone can get depression whatever their economic states and backgrounds are.57. In Paragraph 2 the author ______.A. introduces an idea on depressionB. gives an example to show his ideaC. explains how depression worksD. describes the depression problems58. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Depression can spread infection.B. Stress may affect the function of the immune system.C. Women are less likely to suffer from depression.D. Modern medicine is widely used for treating depression.59. The writer mainly wants to tell people that depression ______.A. is serious but highly treatable diseaseB. could have its advantages in scientific research.C. may improve one’s chances of fighting off infectionD. is a true medical condition like high blood pressure七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie's feet, when Father cleared his throat and began, "You'll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We've found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England."His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. "But the lion, " he cried, "What about the lion? ""I'm afraid there's something else I have to tell you, " his father said. Looking across at Bertie's mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days."No! You can't send him to a circus!" said Bertie. "People will come to see him. He'll be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will laugh at him. He'd rather die. Any animal would! " But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up.Bertie felt completely betrayed （出卖）. He waited until he heard his father's deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels, he crept （蹑手蹑脚地移动） downstairs, took down his father's rifle （步枪） and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms. round the lion's neck. The time had come."Be wild now" , he whispered. "You've got to be wild. Don't ever come home. All my life I'll think of you. I promise I will. " He buried his head in the lion's neck. Then, Bertie climbed down the hill and walked away.When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.There was only one thing left to do. With tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion's head.(1) Bertie's mother was sad probably because she.A. had been seriously ill recentlyB. had decided to send Bertie to schoolC. knew selling the lion would upset BertieD. knew Bertie would hate to go to England(2) The underlined word "they" in Para. 4 probably refers to.A. some audienceB. other animalsC.

But too much light at other times may actually cause such mood disorders. Long-lasting exposure to light at night brings depression, a new study finds, at least in animals.The new data confirm observations from studies of people who work night shifts, says Richard Stevens of the University of Connecticut Health Center. Mood disorders join a growing list of problems, including cancer, obesity and diabetes—that can occur when light throws life out of balance by disturbing the biological clock and its timing of daily rhythms.In the new study, Tracy Bedrosian and Randy Nelson of Ohio State University exposed mice to normal light and dark cycles for four weeks. For the next four weeks, half of the mice remained on this schedule, and the rest received continuous dim light throughout their night. Compared with mice exposed to normal nighttime darkness, those getting dim light at night lost their strong preference for sweet drinks, "a sign they no longer get pleasure out of activities they once enjoyed, "Bedrosian says.In a second test, mice were clocked on how long they actively tried to escape a pool of water. Those exposed to night lights stopped struggling and just floated in the water, a sign of "behavioral despair", 10 times as long as the mice that had experienced normal nighttime darkness. All symptoms of depression disappeared within two weeks of the mice returning to a normal light-dark cycle, the researchers report. The scientists also could TAL#NBSP quash the behavioral symptoms by injecting（注射）the brains of animals with a drug that prohibits the activity of certain molecules linked with human depression. This finding further suggests that light at night may cause something related to depression.Human studies linking nighttime light and mood disorders are important but can't easily detect molecular underpinnings（分子基础）as animal studies can, says George Brainard of Thomas JeffersonUniversity. The new work, he says, suggests that the change of the biological clock by light at night can be "an extremely powerful force in regulating biology and behavior."(1) After being exposed to continuous nighttime light, the mice.A. changed theirpreferencesB. escapedfrom the water more eagerlyC. remained active as beforeD. showed less interest intheir favorites(2) What does the underlined word "quash"in Para. 4 probably mean?A. studyB. predictC. easeD. cause(3) We can learn from the last paragraph that.A. light at night may have practical valueB. the biological clock is beneficial to humansC. human mood disorders cannot be healed easilyD. human studies are more important than animalstudies(4) What is the main idea of the passage?A.

They have been amazingly successfuland are widely imitated, if not copied. The minute Apple launches a product, everyone knows how to compete. This idea that the basis of competition is set by Apple and then the race is on to climb the path of improvement is unquestionable. When Apple releases a product that defines a category or dramatically changes the structure of an industry, it becomes obvious what needs to be built. But what I wonder is why everyone wants to copy Apple's products but nobody wants to copy being Apple?I can think of two reasons. Firstly, Apple is not worth copying because it's not successful; secondly, Apple's success cannot be copied because it is a magical process.There is a great deal of evidence for the first assumption. The idea of Apple being successful is not something reflected in its stock price. Being valued lower than the average company in the S&P（标准普尔）500 indicates that to whatever degree Apple was successful in the past, and it's not seen by the vast majority of observers as successful in the future. Why should one bother copying Apple if it results in being punished with a low valuation? If one works really hard at innovation（革新）and then that innovation becomes commoditized（商品化）very quickly, why should one bother?When innovation practitioners are asked what makes Apple successful, the answers regarding the cause of this success border on the mythical. The fabulous part of this assumption is the "chief-sorcerer" theory of success which places one magician, like Steve Jobs, in charge of casting all the right spells.What about Apple's own opinion of what makes it tick? Tim Cook refers to a great team and integration（一体）of hardware, software and services as unique Apple advantages. It's a better explanation. Integration is something that can take a long time, but it is possible with great effort. A few companies are starting to make moves in that direction, but efforts are half-hearted. There is no "move the Earth" feeling to become an integrated company from Samsung, Google or Microsoft.My own suspicion is that Apple is more aware of what makes it special than it lets out. However, as Tim points out, it's not a formula. It's complex, it's subtle, but it's not magic. It's a process that requires a degree of faith and courage.(1) When a new product of Apple comes out, often it.A. ruins an industry dramaticallyB. starts a revolution of an industryC. puts itself in an unbeatable positionD. is soon overtaken by imitated products(2) According to the passage, other companies don't "copy being Apple"because.A. Apple is not a successful companyB. it's hard to find a powerful magicianC. they have no access to relevant resourcesD. being Apple takes more than time and efforts(3) We can infer from Para. 5 that.A. other companies are dedicated to integrationB. Apple itself is fully aware of its unique advantagesC. Apple will hold the leading position in this industryD. other companies don't have an extraordinary team as Apple does(4) What does the author think of Tim Cook's statement?A. Convincing.B. Disappointing.C. Unquestionable.D. Acceptable.四、七选五20、【来源】 2013年北京海淀区高三一模第20题2015~2016学年北京西城区北京市第一五九中学高三上学期月考第46题ApathyApathy is a state of lacking interest, enthusiasm or concern.1They may also exhibit unfeelingness. Christians have condemned apathy as a lack of love and devotion to God and His works.2Also meaning "absence of passion" in Greek, the term "apatheia" was used by the Stoics（禁欲主义者）to show a desirable state of indifference towards events and things which lie outside one's control.The modern concept of apathy became well known after World War I, when it was called "shell shock." Soldiers, living in the trenches among the bombing and gun fires, saw the battlefields filled with dead and wounded companions.3In 1950, U.S. novelist Passos wrote "Apathy is one of the characteristic responses of any living being when it is subjected to something too tense or too complicated to deal with. " U.S. philosopher Robert M Hutchins summarizes the concerns about political indifference. He claims that the death of democracy is not likely to be a sudden murder from ambush（埋伏）.4There may be other things contributing to a person's apathy. Activist Dave Meslin argues that apathy is often the result of social systems actively blocking engagement and involvement. He describes various barriers that prevent people from knowing how or why they might get involved insomething.5These include: political media that make it difficult for potentially interested people to find relevant information，and media descriptions of heroes as "chosen"by outside forces rather than self-motivated. He suggests that we redefine social apathy as a result of poorly designed systems that fail to invite others to participate.A. It will be a slow process of fading away from apathy and indifference.B. Apathetic people may lack a sense of purpose or meaning in their life.C. The word "dispassion" is used for "apatheia" , so as not to confuse it with apathy.D. He focuses on designed choices that unintentionally or intentionally exclude people.E. So they gradually developed a sense of disconnected numbness to normal social interaction.F. Although the word "apathy" originates from "apatheia", it is important not to confuse the two terms.G. Author John McManamy argues apathy is a psychological problem for some depressed.五、书面表达21、【来源】 2013年北京海淀区高三一模第21题2015~2016学年北京石景山区北京市苹果园中学高三上学期月考第22题2015~2016学年北京西城区北京师范大学附属实验中学高三上学期期中第23题假设你是红星中学高三（1)班的学生李华。

（共26分，每小题2分）CA great many people, when they speak of home, tend to connect it with a certain atmosphere, certain physical surroundings(环境), and certain emotional attitudes within themselves. This sentimentality(多愁善感) toward home is something that has come down to us from the past. Many modern people do not have it, and I think it is a good thing that they do not.In the old days, life was difficult. Enemies could attack you and kill or rob you, and you had little protection against them. People did not live in well-built houses where doors could be locked. They did not have the protection of an organized police force or telephones which could call the police instantly. How did this influence the way people felt about home? Small family groups clung(贴近) tightly together for protection against beasts and against other men.Today, thanks to modern transportation and well-organized society, thousands of people willingly and eagerly leave the surroundings where they were born, and the oftener they do so, the less sentiment they are likely to have for those surroundings. I lived in England for three years, and I noticed that boys and girls left their parents' homes and lived in places of their own. There they could just telephone and ask an agency to provide them with a house or an apartment, which was their home. How has the meaning of this word “home” been changed by such activity? What does home mean to those people or to families who often move about, living in first one hotel and then another? I believe that for them home means a place where they can have privacy.As for me, the atmosphere and surroundings of the place where my parents live have no sentimental attachment(依恋). Home is where I can shut the door and be by myself. When I left my parents several years ago, I was anxious to leave. You might call it unfeeling, but that was the way I felt. On the day of my departure for the United States, my grandmother cried. My father, however, showed that he knew how I felt. "Son," he said, "I am not sorry that you are leaving us. I only hope that you make the most of your time."53. Why are modern people willing to leave their parents' homes?A. Because they can afford the money to live outside.B. Because there are no wild animals or enemies around.C. Because the society provides them with the feeling of safety.D. Because they are not actually satisfied with their environment.54.What can we learn from the article?A. Surroundings influence the way that people act.B. Not many modern people have sentimentality toward home.C. Rights to privacy are well protected in modern society.D. Older people can hardly understand the leaving of the young.55.What is the best title for the passage?A. The History of HomeB. People and HomeC. Different Ideas of HomeD. Ideas of Home Have ChangedDIf scientist s are correct about this link, it could lead to new treatments for depression. They in drugs thatbody, known as auto immune diseases.
