In 2003, he set up a recording booth in Grand Central Station and 17 the StoryCorps Project. I say had learned, through his work as a documentary radio producer, that a microphone makes people ask questions of others that they 18 wouldn’t ask. I say reflects in his book Ties That Bind: Stories of Love and Gratitude from the First Ten Years of StoryCorps: “We can19 the most meaningful poetry in the words and stories of the ordinary people around us, 20 we just have the courage to ask meaningful questions and the patience to 21 closely to the answers.”Asking meaningful questions requires 22 because asking is such a countercultural (反传统的) activity in our culture of telling, observes Edgar Schein in his recent book, Humble Inquiry: The Gentle Art of Asking Instead of Telling.Our problem-solving culture 23 people who know things and tell others what they know. In this culture, having to ask is regarded as a(n) 24 of weakness or ignorance. Asking briefly gives the other person 25 in the conversation and makes you seem 26 .Those with the most 27 tend to tell more often than ask, and those who ask are 28 viewed as naive (无知的) or annoying or both. Case in point: Just last week, someone said her boss told her not to 29 so many questions during meetings. He insisted, “It makes it seem as if you don’t 30 what you’re doing.” Yet the primary 31 of asking, according to Schein, are that we generate better ideas and make fewer 32 in judgment.Asking good questions 33 courage, patience, and, as Edgar Schein says, skill and art. He says a question 34 have “the skill and the art of drawing someone out, of asking questions to which you do not already know the answer, of building a relationship 35 curiosity and interest in the other person.”16.

INSIDER Family membershipBDuring my first year at Hotchkiss, my advisor recommended the math team as my winter co-curricular activity (课程辅助活动), but I did not take her advice. It seemed too academic to be interesting! Instead, I chose wrestling (摔跤).Although wrestling did prove to be interesting, it gave me sprains (扭伤) in both my wrist and my ankle. So in my second year, I decided to try something less physically competitive – the math team.The math wing was nearly empty 15 minutes after the last class had ended, and I walked to my first math team meeting at the end of the hall. Although I had suspected it a little, I was still surprised to find the room filled with East Asian and Indian students – no white or black students at all.I had always thought that an all-Asian society in the US would be boring or unproductive; after all, I came to the US to learn more about a foreign culture. However, friends from my math team soon became not only the group of people with whom I was most comfortable, but also a group from whom I learned a lot.The very first meeting started off with a math game that made everyone feel relaxed and broke the ice. After our orientation meeting (介绍会), we began to meet nearly every evening, except on Saturdays, to work on American Mathematics Competition problems individually.We then discussed them in groups that were divided up according to our mathematical skills. Whenever someone in a group had difficulty doing a math problem, the group would stop and explain it until that person understood. When we encountered (遇到) a hard problem that no one could solve, we usually got together and worked on the problem on the whiteboard so that we could share our ideas and perspectives (观点).Outside of math team meetings, our team also gathers to work on other projects or go to competitions representing the school. The challenging yet inviting atmosphere in the math team allows us to discuss questions freely, without worrying about looking stupid; it allows us to find great friends and develop our math skills.40. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The size of the math team.B. The makeup of the math team.C. The academic level of the math team members.D. The motivation of the math team members.41. According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The math team aims to prepare students for mathematics competitions.B. The author was sure that only Asian students would be on the math team.C. Students would ask for a teacher’s help when they came across a difficult problem.D. The author changed her opinion of this all-Asian society after she joined the math team.42. What does the author think of spending time with the math team?A. It is very easy and relaxing.B. It is challenging and rewarding.C. It is competitive and frustrating.D. It encourages independence.CA new superhero show is coming to TV, and it is difficult to see how it could fail. US author George R.R. Martin, well known for writing the books that became the popular Game of Thrones (《权力的游戏》) show, announced on his blog on Aug 7 that television company University Cable Productions is going to make a TV show of his Wild Cards (《百变王牌》) series of books.So, where does the title of Wild Cards come from?The main idea of the series is that just after World War II, an alien virus hit the world –at first over New York in the US –and changed the course of history. A whole 90 percent of those affected by the virus died instantly (立即), but of those 10 in 100 who survived, nine were horribly disfigured –in the books’ language, they drew the “joker” from the pa ck of cards. Meanwhile, just 1 percent were given an “ace” and gifted with comic-book-style superpowers.The stories’ superheroes include Jetboy, a great pilot who tries to save the world from the virus released over New York; Doctor Tachyon, a good-natured and interestingly-dressed member of the alien race that unleashed the virus in 1946 by mistake and has been searching for a cure to help the jokers; and the Great and Powerful Turtle, who uses his abilities to put himself in a flying shell and fight crime.Alongside these aces, the disfigured jokers are hated and even cause 1960s US civil rights fights in the Wild Cards timeline.As the books’ website puts it: “Everything up until 1946 is how we remember it. After that year, many things change.”From this point in the stories’very different history, Martin and his writers put together a world that has the magic of the comic books it was inspired by but, he says, none of the problems with logic (逻辑) that these stories have.“Development (of the TV series) will begin immediately on what we hope will be the first of several series,” v Martin wrote on his blog. He described the books as “a universe, as large and exciting as the comic book universes of Marvel and DC (though considerably more realistic), with an enormous number of characters”.How could the show not succeed? As David Barnett wrote in The Guardian: “With Martin’s name attached to it, it’s certainly going to attract curious Game of Thrones fans, even if they have no familiarity with the books.And despite some poor reviews for the latest comic book movies, especially DC’s Batman Superman (《蝙蝠侠大战超人》) and its newest release, Suicide Squad (《X特遣队》), the public’s love for superheroes seems to continue.”43. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the Wild Cards series?A. The course of history began to change in 1960.B. Most people were horribly disfigured because of an alien virus.C. All the superheroes are humans who have gained superpowers from a virus.D. The magic of the world it created was inspired by superhero comic books.44. The underlined word “unleashed” in the fourth paragraph probably means ______.A. copiedB. activatedC. releasedD. caught45. The Wild Cards series is ______.A. horrible but inspiringB. realistic and humorousC. thrilling and largeD. straightforward but exciting46. According to David Barnett, ______.A. many people hold low expectations for the Wild Cards showB. the Wild Cards show was inspired by the latest comic book moviesC. Martin’s name will guarantee attention for the Wild Cards showD. there are many similarities between Wild Cards and Game of ThronesDPlease, a round of applause (掌声) for the Indian man who sang for 80 hours straight, setting a Guinness world record in 2010. It was an impressive feat (成就), to be sure, but let’s just hope he still has a voice. According to Indian newspapers, Rajesh Burbure has been told to keep silent for several days so his vocal cords (声带) can heal.It was reported that Burbure and his family are in a celebratory mood. “It’s a proud moment for all of us,” his wife told the DNA India website.I, on the other hand, am unable to share their enthusiasm. Don’t get me wrong, I hope that Burbure lives forever, sells a million records and becomes an international celebrity. But his record singing for 80 hours straight is about as meaningful to me as the other interesting but crazy feats listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.Granted (的确), I’m not really qualified (有资格的) to speak on the subject. I’ve got no world records to my name and I never expect to have any. Then again, maybe I am qualified to speak for those of us who have better things to do than train for years to sing 80 hours of pop songs.But let’s not just pick on poor Burbure. He’s not the only person chasing meaningless honors. The Guinness Book of World Records is full of the names of people who at one time grew the longest hair, built the biggest bicycle or baked the largest cheesecake.To all of these enterprising (有胆识的) souls I ask, simply, “What was it all for?”Some people believe that it helps us measure ourselves and understand our own position in the world and how we fit in. But in my opinion, even with painstaking effort, you became a footnote in a thick book that no one reads, except for you and the person who will eventually overtake you with one more hour of singing, a few more centimeters of steel or a few more grams of cheese.After all, records are made to be broken.47. From the text, we can conclude that the author ________.A. has no Guinness records, so he admires Burbures’ featB. feels it is a pity he was not invited to share the happiness with the BurburesC. thinks singing for 80 hours straight is completely meaninglessD. is quite worr ied about Burbure’s vocal cords48. Before someone wins a Guinness record, he or she has to _______.A. become an international celebrityB. know all about Guinness recordsC. practice a great dealD. bear great stress for fear of injury49. We can infer from the article that _______.A. after the 80 hours of singing, Burbure could no longer speakB. Burbure’s wife didn’t support his attempt to make a Guinness recordC. many have criticized Burbure for his stupid behaviorD. challenging a Guinness record may be harmful to the health50. The author’s attitude to some Guinness world records is _______.A. positiveB. impressedC. negativeD. touched第Ⅱ卷（共35分）第四部分: 任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)Young people are definitely less courageous ( 勇敢的) than they were 30 years ago. Why is this? It’s because they are spoiled, and take for granted everything that they have or are given.Thirty years ago, there wasn’t nearly as much blatant (公然的) disrespect for elders, peers, or other people in general. At that time, young people were taught that to get anything or get anywhere in life, they’d have to work for it and earn it.If young people aren’t being taught the basics of respecting others, and aren’t being taught that they need to work to make a living, then where are they to learn courage?Courage isn’t necessarily about risking your life, for whatever reason. It is about being able to face any kind of hardship, and to make decisions and face the consequences of those decisions.Courage means being able to learn from hard times, and to take those lessons with you through life. It means having the resourcefulness (足智多谋) to find ways to deal with your problems yourself, and not being afraid to do so.Too many young people now rely on parents, siblings, older relatives and others to get them through life. Too often they turn to these figures whenever they get into trouble, and expect to have their problems solved for them.If we are to help our young people become more courageous, we should stop spoiling them, stop doing everything for them, and teach them the skills necessary to make basic life decisions on their own.Once these basic principles are instilled (灌输) in our young people, I think we’ll find that they are more courageous than we could have dreamed, and more like the young people of thirty years ago than we had ever imagined.It’s time to go back to older values and ideas, and to bring courage back into our young people and society.Theme (1)______with young people 30 years ago, those are less courageous.The behavior of young people today *They generally show (2) ______for elders and other people. *They take for granted whatever they have or receive.*Many of them are too (3) ______ on their parents or other relatives to get them through life.(4)_______ *They are not (5) ______ of the basics of respecting others.*They are not taught to work hard to (6) ______ their dreams. *They don’t have the (7) ______ to make wise decisions and overcome difficulties independently.*They tend to expect others, such as their parents or siblings, to help them out when they are in (8) ______.Tips *Never (9) ______ them; only help them when necessary.*Teach them the skills they need to make basic life decisions by themselves.Conclusion It’s time we went back to older values and ideas, and (10) ______ courage back into our young people and society.第五部分: 单词拼写(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分)1.
