All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom’s vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to thr ow her timing off, so she didn’t care much about my bedtime.Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel（桶）of paint but couldn’t really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did!I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. I hadn’t turned 5 yet.As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder（驾雪橇者）, I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn’t realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped（包裹）heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d’Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.35. What can be inferred about the aut hor’s family?A. His father was a cruel man.B. His parents didn’t love him.C. His parents used to be very busy.D. His mother didn’t have any jobs.36. What happened when the author was 4?A. He learned to smoke.B. He was locked in a basement.C. He was arrested by the police.D. He nearly caused a fire accident.37. Which of the following is true?A. Leonhard was good at driving dog sleds.B. The author spent his whole childhood in Alaska.C. Leonhard often visited the author’s family after 1950.D. The author suffered a lot while taking the dog sled in Alaska.38. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?A. To look back on his childhood with adventures.B. To describe the extreme weather of Alaska.C. To express how much he misses Leonhard.D. To show off his pride in making trouble.CA schoolgirl saved her father’s life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious allergic(过敏的) reaction which stopped his heart .Izzy , nine ,restarted father Colm’s heart by stamping(踩)on his chest after he fell down at home and stopped breathing .Izzy’s mother, Debbie, immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in time to save her father, so decided to use CPR .However, she quickly discovered her arms weren’t strong enough, so she stamped on her father’s chest instead.Debbie them took over with some more conventional chest compressions(按压) until the ambulance arrived .Izzy, who has been given a bravery award by her school, said：“I just kicked him really hard ,My mum taught me CPR but I knew I wasn’t strong enough to use hands .I was quite scared .The doctor said I might as well be a doctor or a nurse, My mum said that Dad was going to hospital with a big footprint on his chest .”“She’s a little star,” said Debbie, “I was really upset but Izzy just took over . I just can’t believe what she did. I really think all children should be taught first aid. Izzy did CPR then the doctor turned up, Colm had to have more treatment on the way to the hospital and we’ve got to see an expert.”Truck driver Clom, 35, suffered a mystery allergic reaction on Saturday and was taken to hospital, but was sent home only for it to happen again the next day. The second attack was so serious that his airway swelled, preventing him from breathing, his blood pressure dropped suddenly, and his heart stopped for a moment.He has now made a full recovery from his suffering.39. Izzy kicked her father in the chest_________.A. to express her helplessnessB. to practise CPR on himC. to keep him awakeD. to restart his heat40. What’s the right order of the events?A. ③①②④B.④②③①C. ③④②①D. ④③①②41. What does Paragraph 8 mainly talk about?A .What Colm suffered. B. Colm’s present condition.C .What caused Colm’s allergy. D. Symptoms of Colm’s allergic reaction.42. Why does the author write news?A. To describe a serious accident.B. To prove the importance of CPR.C. To report a 9-year-old girl’s brave act. D .To call people’s attention to allergic reaction.DWith around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pyjamas（睡衣）.Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting（警报）systems, this governs the sleep/ wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the “night owl” schedule of sleep.This is opposed to the “early bird” schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight. Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classif ied as “night owls” and only 10 percent can be classified as “early birds”—the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.43. What does the author stress in Paragraph 1?A. Many students are absent from class.B. Students are very tired on Monday mornings.C. Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.D. Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.44. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?A. Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.B. Students don’t sleep well because of alerting systems.C. One’s body clock governs th e sleep/wake cycle independently.D. Adolescents’ delayed sleep/wake cycle isn’t the preferred pattern.45. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “classified”?A. Criticised.B. Grouped.C. Organised.D. Named.46. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Functions of the body clock.B. The “night owl” phenomenon.C. Human beings’ sleep behaviour.D. The school schedule of “early bird”.EWomen are friendly. But men are more competitive, Why? Researchers have found it’s all down to the hormone oxytocin(荷尔蒙催生素). Although known as the love hormone, it affects the sexes differently.“Women tend to be social in their behavior. They often share with others, But men tend to be competitive, The y are trying to improve their social status,” said Professor Ryan.Generally, people believe that the hormone exytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interaction（互动）such as falling in love or giving birth.But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy.Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relationships, but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship.Professor Ryan’s recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37.Half of the participants（参与者received oxytocin. The other half received placebo（安慰剂）.After a week, the two groups switched with participants. They went through the same procedure with the other material.Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions. Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions. The questions were about telling friendship from competition. And their answers should be based on gestures, body language and facial expressions.The results indicated that, after treatment with oxytocin, men’s ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.Professor Ryan thus concluded: “ Our exper iment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise people’s abilities to better distinguish different social interactions. And the behavior differences between men and women are caused by biological factor（因素）that are mainly hormonal.”47. What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text?A. Placebo.B. Oxytocin.C. The gesture.D. The social status.48. What can we learn from Professor Ryan’s previous experiment?A. Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way.B. Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love.C. Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about others’ success.D. Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand people’s behavior differences.49. Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment?A. To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social interactions.B. To know the differences between friendship and competition.C. To know people’s different abilities to answe r questions.D. To test people’s understanding of body language.50. The author develops the text by _______.A. explaining people’s behaviorB. describing his own experiencesC. distinguishing sexual differencesD. discussing research experiments第II卷（非选择题共60分）第三部分写作（共三节，共60分）第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题，请注意题后的词数要求。

All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn't care much about my bedtime.Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little Are going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel（桶）of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going.

My mum taught me CPR but I knew I wasn't strong enough to use hands. I was quite scared. The doctor said I might as well be a doctor or a nurse. My mum said that Dad was going to hospital with a big footprint on his"She's a little star," said Debbie, "i was really upset but Izzy just took over. I just can't believe what she did. I really think all children should be taught first aid. Izzy did CPR then the doctor turned up. Colm had to have more treatment on the way to the hospital and we've got to see an expert."Truck driver Colm, 35, suffered a mystery allergic reaction on Saturday and was taken to hospital, but was sent home only for it to happen again the next day.

Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting (警报) systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the "night owl" schedule ofThis is opposed to the "early bird" schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight. Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as "night owls" and only 10 percent can be classified as "early birds" - the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.43. What docs the author stress in Paragraph I?A. Many students are absent from class.B. Students are very tired on Monday mornings.C. Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.D. Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.44. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?A. Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.B. Students don't sleep well because of alerting systems.C. One's body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently.D. Adolescents' delayed sleep/wake cycle isn't the preferred pattern.45. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "classified"?A. Criticised.B. Grouped.C. Organised.D. Named.46. What docs the text mainly talk about?A. Functions of the body clock.B. The "night owl" phenomenon.C. Human beings' sleep behaviour.D. The school schedule of "early birds".EWomen are friendly. But men are more competitive. Why? Researchers have found it's all down to the hormone oxytocin (荷尔蒙催生素). Although known as the love hormone, it affects the sexes differently."Women tend to be social in their behavior. They often share with others. But men lend to be competitive. They are trying to improve their social status," said Professor Ryan.Generally, people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interactions (互动) such as falling in love or giving birth.But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy.Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relationships, but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship. Professor Ryan's recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37. Half of the participants（参与者）received oxytocin. The other half received placebo (安慰剂).After a week, the two groups switched with participants. They went tlirough the same procedure with the other material.Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions. Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions. The questions were about telling friendship from competition. And their answers should be based on gestures, body language and facial expressions.The results indicated that, after treatment with oxytocin, men's ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.Professor Ryan thus concluded: "Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise people's abilities to better distinguish different social interactions. And the behavior differences between men and women are caused by biological factors (因素) that are mainly hormonal."47. What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text?A. Placebo.B. Oxytocin.C. The gesture.D. The social status.48. What can we learn from Professor Ryan's previous experiment?A. Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way.B. Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love.C. Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about others' success.D. Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand people's behavior differences.49. Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment?A. To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social interactions.B. To know the differences between friendship and competition.C. To know people's different abilities to answer questions.D. To test people's understanding of body language.50. The author develops the text by______.A. explaining people's behaviorsB. describing his own experiencesC. distinguishing sexual differencesD. discussing research experiments第二节补全对话Mary: Mike, how do I look in these blue jeans?Mike: 51 They really suit you, Mary!Mary: Thanks, you know, these kinds of jeans are in style now.Mike: 52Mary: I mean...they are very popular these days; everyone is wearing them!Mike: You are great at keeping up with fashions.Mary: Well, 53Mike: Perhaps you can help me pick out a pair of jeans now, since you are an expert.Mary: 54 I would be happy to help you with your fashion change!A.

after the first IS minutes；it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pyjamas （睡衣）．Obviously，students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule．All human beings possess a body clock．Along with other alerting （警报）systems，this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour．Typically，the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents，which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings．This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the"night owl"schedule ofThis is opposed to the"early bird"schedule，and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight．Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings．Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night．Research findings have shown that about 20percent of people can be classified as"night owls"and only 10percent can be classified as"early birds"﹣the other 70percent are in the middle．Although this is clearly not true for all students，for the ones who are true night owls this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday．43．What docs the author stress in Paragraph I？．A．Many students are absent from class．B．Students are very tired on Monday mornings．C．Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well．D．Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays．44．Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2？．A．Most students prefer to get up late in the morning．B．Students don't sleep well because of alerting systems．C．One's body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently．D．Adolescents'delayed sleep/wake cycle isn't the preferred pattern．45．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word"classified"？．A．Criticised．B．Grouped．C．Organised．D．Named．46．What docs the text mainly talk about？．A．Functions of the body clock．B．The"night owl"phenomenon．C．Human beings'sleep behaviour．D．The school schedule of"early birds"．第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．选项中有两项多余选项．（共1小题；每小题10分，共10分）51．（10分）Mary：Mike，how do I look in these blue jeans？Mike：（51）They really suit you，Mary!Mary：Thanks，you know，these kinds

was still amazed"和下文中对松鸡性情的介绍"they usually fly off when they hear humans approaching"可知，松鸡和人密切接触的情况是不常见的，答案选D．12．B 考查连词辨析．前句提到"they're hard to spot"人们很难看到松鸡，后句内容说它们见到人类的接近就会飞走，由此可知人们很难见到松鸡的原因是它们惧怕人类，后句和前句是因果关系，故答案选B．13．A 考查名词辨析．根据下文倒数第二段"As spring went and summer came"可知．当Tom看到这只松鸡的时候是春天，故答案选A．14．C 考查动词辨析．此处讲述的是Tom第一次看到这只松鸡时候的情景，空后提到这只松鸡正在地边走动，所以是Tom看到，注意到，故选C．15．D 考查副词辨析．从上文内容"they usually fly off when they hear humans approaching"可知松鸡是怕人的，见到人就飞走，而这只松鸡不怕人，所以是让人惊讶的情况，选D．16．B 考查形容词辨析．从空前内容"unafraid"可知松鸡不怕人，由此推断应该是好奇Tom在做什么，其他不符合语境，选B．17．C 考查形容词辨析．从后句内容"she got more comfortable around him"可知这只松鸡不怕Tom，而且在他身边越来越自在，此外在文章倒数第二段也提到"friendly grouse"，由此可知这只松鸡是友好的，选C．18．C 考查形容词辨析．从空后内容"decided to call her Mildred"可知，作者和丈夫给松鸡取了名字，由此判断他们对这只松鸡越来越喜欢，be fond of 意思是"喜欢"，选C．19．D 考查动词辨析．前面提到Tom看到松鸡走近他身边，后面又说没看到她，由此判断他是假装没看见，想看看松鸡会如何反应．选D．20．A 考查动词辨析．上文提到Tom故意装作没看到这只松鸡，空后又描述松鸡去啄Tom的手，由此判断松鸡是想引起Tom的注意，不想被忽视，选A．21．B 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解．A put放；B backed后退；C place安置，放；D man带走．从描述的情景可以推测松鸡啄了Tom之后就退后看他的反应，选B．22．A 考查名词辨析．根据上文的叙述可知在Tom不理睬松鸡的情况下，松鸡反反复复地去啄Tom，然后看他的反应，这对它来说是一种游戏，选A．23．B 考查动词辨析．根据下文内容"summer came"可知夏天到了松鸡更加频繁地外出走动了，选B．24．A 考查副词辨析．从上文内容可知松鸡一点一点地接近人类，胆子越来越大，最后都飞到Tom身上，由此判断答案选A．25．C 考查名词辨析及语境理解．根据作者描述的情景可知松鸡呆在Tom的腿上，所以是作者趁机拍了张照片，而且下文"hunters would stop and take pictures"也是很好的提示，选C．26．A 考查形容词辨析．本文讲述的内容是松鸡和人的友好相处，而且上文多次提到松鸡在人们身边很comfortable，比如"and she got more comfortable around him和．Mildred felt comfortable enough to jump up on Tom's leg"，所以答案选A．27．B 考查名词辨析．根据情理可知，要想提醒人们应该是树立起一个警示牌，而且空前动词put也只能和sign构成搭配，故答案选B．28．C

Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy．Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relationships，but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship．Professor Ryan's recent experiment used 62men and women aged 20to 37．Half of the participants（参与者）received oxytocin．The other half received placebo （安慰剂）．After a week，the two groups switched with participants．They went tlirough the same procedure with the other material．Following each treatment，they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions．Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions．The questions were about telling friendship from competition．And their answers should be based on gestures，body language and facial expressions．The results indicated that，after treatment with oxytocin，men's ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved，but in women it was the。

All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn't care much about my bedtime.Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little Are going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel（桶）of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when 1 made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me.

At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well.I was wrapped (包裹) heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.35.

My mum taught me CPR but I knew I wasn't strong enough to use hands. I was quite scared. The doctor said I might as well be a doctor or a nurse. My mum said that Dad was going to hospital with a big footprint on his"She's a little star," said Debbie, "i was really upset but Izzy just took over. I just can't believe what she did. I really think all children should be taught first aid. Izzy did CPR then the doctor turned up.

Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting (警报) systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the "night owl" schedule ofThis is opposed to the "early bird" schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight. Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of peoplecan be classified as "night owls" and only 10 percent can be classified as "early birds" - the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.43. What docs the author stress in Paragraph I?A. Many students are absent from class.B. Students are very tired on Monday mornings.C. Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.D. Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.44. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?A. Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.B. Students don't sleep well because of alerting systems.C. One's body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently.D. Adolescents' delayed sleep/wake cycle isn't the preferred pattern.45. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "classified"?A. Criticised.B. Grouped.C. Organised.D. Named.46. What docs the text mainly talk about?A. Functions of the body clock.B. The "night owl" phenomenon.C. Human beings' sleep behaviour.D. The school schedule of "early birds".EWomen are friendly. But men are more competitive. Why? Researchers have found it's all down to the hormone oxytocin (荷尔蒙催生素). Although known as the love hormone, it affects the sexes differently."Women tend to be social in their behavior. They often share with others. But men lend to be competitive. They are trying to improve their social status," said Professor Ryan.Generally, people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interactions (互动) such as falling in love or giving birth.But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy.Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relationships, but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship. Professor Ryan's recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37. Half of the participants（参与者）received oxytocin. The other half received placebo (安慰剂).After a week, the two groups switched with participants. They went tlirough the same procedure with the other material.Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions. Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions. The questions were about telling friendship from competition. And their answers should be based on gestures, body language and facial expressions.The results indicated that, after treatment with oxytocin, men's ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.Professor Ryan thus concluded: "Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise people's abilities to better distinguish different social interactions. And the behavior differences between men and women are caused by biological factors (因素) that are mainly hormonal."47. What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text?A. Placebo.B. Oxytocin.C. The gesture.D. The social status.48. What can we learn from Professor Ryan's previous experiment?A. Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way.B. Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love.C. Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about others' success.D. Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand people's behavior differences.49. Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment?A. To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social interactions.B. To know the differences between friendship and competition.C. To know people's different abilities to answer questions.D. To test people's understanding of body language.50. The author develops the text by______.A. explaining people's behaviorsB. describing his own experiencesC. distinguishing sexual differencesD. discussing research experiments第二节补全对话Mary: Mike, how do I look in these blue jeans?Mike: 51 They really suit you, Mary!Mary: Thanks, you know, these kinds of jeans are in style now.Mike: 52Mary: I mean...they are very popular these days; everyone is wearing them!Mike: You are great at keeping up with fashions.Mary: Well, 53Mike: Perhaps you can help me pick out a pair of jeans now, since you are an expert.Mary: 54 I would be happy to help you with your fashion change!A.

They typed them and handwrote them.
