However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.To reach our goal of losing weight --- the output, we need to control what we eat --- the input ( 输入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input.This is a bad way to construce goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input.Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an ac tionable resolution: “I’ll stop having desert forlunch,” or “I’ll walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.Recently a new science behind incentives (激励) , including in education, has been discussed. For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books, while in others, the incentives were based on output, like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect when based on output. Fryer’s conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because do not know how to do better on exam, aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control.As long as you have directly control over your goal, you have a much higher chance of success. And it’s easier to start again if you fail, because you know exactly what you need to do.If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe, for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isn’t a goal because it’s too general. Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, don’t stop with this general wish. Think bout an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday.In the long run, these new goals could become a habit.21.The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because _______ .A. it is hard to achieve for most AmericansB. it is focused too much on the resultC. it is dependent on too many thingsD. it is based on actionable decisions22.In Rola nd Fryer’s research, some students did better than the others because ______ .A. they obeyed all the general rulesB. they paid more attention to examsC. they were motivated by their classmatesD. they were rewarded for reading some books23.According to the writer, which of the following statements is a good goal?A. “I’ll give up desert.”B. “I’ll study harder.”C. “I’ll cut down my expense”D. “I’ll spend more time with my family”24.The writer strongly believes that we should ________ .A. develop good habits and focus on the outcomeB. be optimistic about final goals and stick to themC. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habitsD. set ambitious goals that can balance the input ang outputBThe Brown BearMy wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures ofshore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An agreesive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back---- the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five or six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack----- The first time I felf panic.Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.25.The brown bear approached the family in order to _______.A. catch shore birdsB. start an attackC. protect the childrenD. set up a barrier for itself26.The bear finally went away after it _______.A. felt safeB. got injuredC. found some foodD. took away the camera27.The writer and his family survived mainly due to their ______ .A. prideB. patienceC. calmnessD. cautiousnessCPeople aren’t walking any more---if they can figure out a way to avoid it.I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn’t in any hurry, either, I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(免疫的), for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good day’s walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of streng th and skill. Itdid not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced –and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrhams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise—the most familiar and natural of all.It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world, He cannot learn in a car.The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don’t dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to en joy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.I say that the green of forests is the mind’s best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.28.What is the national sickness?A. Walking too muchB. Traveling too muchC. Driving cars too muchD. Climbing stairs too much.29.What was life like when the author was young?A. People usually went around on foot.B. People often walked 25 miles a dayC. People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.D. People considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.30.The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that____.A. middle-aged people like getting back to natureB. walking in nature helps enrich one’s mindC. people need regular exercise to keep fitD. going on foot prevents heart disease31.What i s compared to “a steel river” in Paragraph6?A. A queue of carsB. A ray of traffic lightC. A flash of lightningD. A stream of peopleDHere is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularlywomen) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over emails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines how people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone of a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away from the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is already set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.32.The passage is mainly about ________.A. communication typesB. the workplace atmosphereC. customs and social mannersD. living conditions and standards33.Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A. They put efficiency in the first place.B. They dislike face-to-face communication.C. They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.34.In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?A. When greeting seniors.B. When meeting the host alone.C. When attending a presentation.D.When dining with business partners.35.In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?A. In Brazil.B. In Singapore.C. In the United Arab Emirates.D. In Switzerland.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain SharpEveryone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing. 36.1.Read on for some techniques worth trying.37.People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50percent reduced chance of Alzheimer’s disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study.38.Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do.There’s evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long orshort-term goals appear to do better.

I read a newspaper report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking，an important British scientist.“The complexity of a computer as it exists today is probably less than the brain of an earthworm，”he said.“But，as technology advances，computers will become more complex，and a time may come when the Internet may develop‘consciousness.’In other words，the Internet will be able to think，have feelings，and may well be able to act on its own.”If Professor Hawking is right，I may change my attitude about computers.As I grow older each day，1 would like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.21.What’s the meaning of the title“Count Me Out”?A.Get me out of the Internet world.puters are trying to take control of lifeC.Modern technology pushes old people away.D.Do not expect me to be a supporter of the Internet.22.According to Paragraph2，the author thinks computers are___.A.unnecessaryB.convenientC.expensiveD.advanced23.What might the author 1ike about the future computer?A.Taking blames.B.

There were fears that the items may have contained the cancercausing colouring Sudan Ⅰ.Do you have any desire to take the food provider to court because it fed you something dangerous?After all, the law supposedly gives people the right to fight for their rights.But some experts have said it might not be so wise to go directly to court.Qiu Baochang, a lawyer in Beijing, suggested that consumers deal with the problem by consulting KFC.“In addition to the high costs,consumers’complaints are unlikely to win their case unless they can prove they have had the banned dye at KFC，”Qiu explained.One problem for those wanting to take action against the fast food chain is that few customers ask for or keep receipts.And, this is just the first step.If they can prove that their health has been damaged by KFC, they can sue(控告) the company.But that would be almost impossible to do so because the Sudan Ⅰ damage is aA KFC spokesperson said on Monday that the company was confident of being able to24.A.Because the company was afraid of not being able to handle customers’complaints.B.Because colouring Sudan Ⅰ may have been contained in those items.C.Becau se the KFC’s restaurants were accused of selling poisonous food to the customers.D.Because these items were no longer popular with the customers.25.The reason why the expert suggested not going directly into court is that______.A.the costs will be highB.consumers canⅠD.all of the above26.This passage most probably appears in______.A.a noticeB.a book on foodC.a story bookD.a newspaper27.What is the general idea of the passage? ______A.KFC’s Beijing restaurants pulled three more items from their menus last week.B.How the consumers dealt with the KFC problem.C.How KFC handled the customers complains.D.Consumers never forgot to ask for or keep receipts.CAn ExperimentMaterials：Newspaper，‘ACE’hardware ruler(1／8“thick)，a flat table.Purposes：We’11 show that there is air pressure pushing on as，from every direction while we’re on this Earth.Procedure：First put a thin ruler on a flat table with a little less than half of it hanging off the edge of the table(see the drawing on the right).Next place a sheet of newspaper over the ruler flat against the table.Make sure to have as 1ittle air as possible under the paper so that the fold line of the，newspaper is at the ruler.Then quick-ly strike the end of the ruler hanging off the edge of the table.If you strike it quick enough,.the ruler will break near the table edge.What’s going on?The Earth is covered in a layer of air that is nearly 80 miles thick and at sea 1evel exerts or“pushes”hard almost 15pounds of pressure per square inch.That means that a full sheet of newspaper laid out flat has nearly 9，300 pounds of air above it.When you break the ruler above，you are able to break it because of the“heavy”air pushing down on the paper while you quickly strike the ruler.At first, the table is pushing back on the paper，and if you move the ruler quick enough，other air around the edges of the paper can’t get under the paper fast enough，so you are trying to lift that 9，300 pounds with the ruler! Some air gets under the paper，but not enough.so the ruler breaks.28.By doing the experiment，we may realize .A.that air exits everywhereB.why there are directionsC.that we live with air pressureD.how air helps on the Earth29.How many steps are there in this experiment?A.2.B.3.C.4.D.530.The underlined word”execs”probably means.A.covers completelyB.advocates activelyC.influences graduallyD.presses heavily31.The ruler breaks under a quick strike mainly because ofA.the air pressure on the newspaperB.the heavy weight of the newspaperC.the heavy weight of the flat tableD.the strong power used on the rulerDOnce upon a time two brothers who lived on neighbouring farms fell into conflict. It was the first serious one in 40 years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labor and goods as needed .Then the long cooperoration fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.One morning there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter’s toolbox. “I’m looking for a few days’ work“ he said. “Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there I could help with. Could I help you? ”“Yes,” said the older brother. “I do have a job for you. Look across the creek(河沟) at that farm. That’s my neighbor, in fact, it’s my younger brother. Last week there was a meadow（草地）between us and he took his bulldozer（推土机）to the river levee（堤）and now there is a creek between us. Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I’ll go him one better. I want you to build me a fence — an 8-foot fence —so I won’t need to see his place or hisface any more. Cool him down , anyhow.”The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation. I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.”The older brother had to go to town, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing, nailing, and hammering.About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer’s eyes o pened wide, his jaw dropped.There was no fence there at all. It was a bridge — a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work — and his younger brother, was coming across, his hand spread out ..“You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I’ve said and done.”The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hand. They turned to see the carpenter lift his toolbox on his shoulder. “No, wait! Stay a few days. I’ve a lot of other projects for you,”said the older brother.“I’d love to stay on,” the carpenter said, “but, I have many more bridges to build.”32.What was the life for the two brothers before the conflict ?A. They live a poor , miserable life .B. They were friendly neighbours ,helping each other .C. They never speak to each other .D. They live together as one family.33.The underlined word “spite” in paragraph 4 probably means ______________.A. try to pleaseB. make angry on purposeC. laught atD. look down upon34.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage ?A. The younger brother used his bulldozer to dig a creek .B. After the conflict John was angry with his younger brother.C. At first the carpenter planned to build an 8-foot fence as John asked him to.D. The two brothers made peace at last .35.The best title for this passage is _______________.A. A Fine Piece of WorkB. A Clever CarpenterC. A Conflict between Two BrothersD.

Call me what you want…”中的Count sb out，意为“不把某人算在内”.由此可推出题目的意思是不要期待我成为网络的支持者.所以正确答案为D项.22.A事实细节题.根据第四段前三句可知，“我”被告知，进入互联网有特定的优势，可以遍及世界发送爱的信息，甚至可以跟在线遇到的意中人结婚，这点小事并没有激发“我”的兴趣，所以作者认为电脑不必要，正确答案应为A项.23.A推理判断题.根据最后一段最后一句可知，随着年龄的增长，“我”想成为新网络世界的一员，希望未来电脑能承担责任.所以可推断出正确答案为A项.B篇24.B细节理解题.根据第一段的第二句“这些菜里面很有可能含有致癌物质苏丹红Ⅰ号”可判断出正确答案.A“公司害怕处理顾客们的投诉”，这与文章中叙述相反，文章最后一段明确说了公司随时准备着按法定程序处理顾客的投诉；C“该饭馆向顾客出售有毒食品”，这是对文章不准确的理解；D“这些菜肴不受顾客的喜欢”，在文中并没有提到.25.D全文理解题.A说诉讼费用太高，B说顾客很难证明食物中含有苏丹红Ⅰ号，C说顾客很难证明苏丹红Ⅰ号对他们的身体健康造成了影响.A.B.C文中都有提及，因此答案是D.26.D推理判断题.全文讲了北京的这家餐馆的三种菜肴有可能含有致癌物质苏丹红Ⅰ号，引出顾客是否向该公司提出投诉并获得赔偿的争论.这显然是新闻报道的特点.A是通知，B是食谱，C是故事书，显然它们与文章内容没有什么关系，故均应排除.27.A主旨归纳题.文章第一段的第一句就说了北京的一家餐馆撤了他们的三大菜肴，并围绕这个事情所产生的社会影响展开.B说顾客怎样处理这些投诉案件，这只是文章的一方面；C说该家饭馆怎样处理投诉问题，文中并没有说该问题就处理好了，只是说了公司随时准备着按法定程序处理顾客的投诉；D说顾客从没有忘记保留发票，这恰好与文章陈述的事实相反.C篇28.C29.B30.D31.AD篇32.B 细节理解题从第一段可知.33.B 词义猜测题.结合语境.34.C 推理判断题.从第五段木匠的答语来判断，她根本就没打算按要求修建隔开兄弟俩得篱笆.35.A 全文讲述木匠利用自己的技术，在俩兄弟之间搭建一座木桥，化解兄弟间的冤仇.因此，无论从具体的桥还是寓意的桥来讲都是一件“杰作”.A答案作题目寓意深刻耐人寻味.三、七选五36.B37.D38.A39.E40.G四、完形填空41.C从下文内容可知，我一次次哀求他们允许我也弹奏一下钢琴.42.D我的哥哥姐姐们说我“太”小了，不允许我弹.43.A语境说听姐姐练习弹奏，由此判断本题选A，我在钢琴上弹奏姐姐训练的功课曲目.44.C从搭配和含义看，这里只有C符合语境：他们就让我弹钢琴了.45.B这里表示这些演奏钢琴的时刻难忘.46.A这里表示当作者遇到不开心的事，就使劲弹奏雷格泰姆(一种节奏强劲的音乐)，直到挫折感消失.47.B直到我能勇敢地面对世界.48.A祸不单行，遇到这两件伤心事，伤心的作者在钢琴上发泄，直到她弹奏得几乎累趴下了.这里用动词drop表示“累倒，累趴下”.49.D这里表示在我的钢琴键盘上给人们传授钢琴知识，用key指琴键.50.C大火吞噬了我的房子，用lose表示“丧失”.51.A上文说房子被烧毁，下文说觉得好像失去了老朋友，由此判断选A，钢琴被大火烧毁了.52.B保险理赔的钱使我能再买一台钢琴.这里用supply表示“提供”.53.C我收到一个信封.54.B从下文可知信封里装的礼券是购买钢琴的.55.A妈妈知道我是不会自己去买的，于是在去世前把这些都安排好了.56.C我把父母的肖像悬挂在钢琴旁.57.B想像父母在天国倾听我的演奏.58.A在母亲给我买的钢琴上弹奏，我想像父母在天国微笑者倾听我的音乐，这样一来我就觉得开心，每支曲子都是献给他们的，我有了快乐和力量.59.B这里用reminder表示“提醒物”：这台新钢琴提醒我，旧事物一去不复返，新生命在开始.60.D这里用begin与前面的pass away呼应，开始新生活.五、语法填空61.on 62.However 63.her 64.when 65.terribly66. it 67.that/ which 68.were 69.a/one 70.Trembling六、短文改错e→miles2.which→where3.a→the4.去掉for5.are→there are6.interested→interesting7.Unlike→like8.are→is9.在on后加the10.for →in七、书面表达参考范文As is shown in the char t, most students don’t have enough sleep. Surprisingly, most of the surveyed students sleep less than 7 hours. Only a few students sleep 7 to 9 hours. And those who sleep more than 9 hours are in the minority.Many factors contribute to this problem. First of all, due to the fierce competition, students can only achieve success by working hard. Secondly, with too much homework to do, students have busy schedules. Other factors, such as sleeping condition, noisy environment and pressure from life should also be considered.Therefore, effective measures should be taken to solve the problem. Most importantly, teachers should give less homework. In the meanwhile, students should improve their studyefficiency so that they can have enough sleep at night.。

A report.BFreedom and ResponsibilityFreedom’s challenge in the Digital Age is a serious topic. We are facing today a strange new world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it.Some 2,500 years ago Greece discovered freedom. Before that there was no freedom. There were great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhere. Egypt and Babylon were both tyrannies, one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses.In Greece, in Athens (雅典), a little city in a little country, there were no helpless masses. And Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed, and the unwritten, which must be obeyed if free men live together. They must show each other kindness and pity and the many qualities without which life would be very painful unless one chose to live alone in the desert.The Athenians never thought that a man was free if he could do what he wanted. A man was free if he was self-controlled. To make yourself obey what you approved was freedom. They were saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair. Each one felt responsible for the welfare of Athens, not because it was forced on him from the outside, but because the city was his pride and his safety. The essential belief of the first free government in the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for the state.But discovering freedom is not like discovering computers. It cannot be discovered once for all. If people do not prize it, and work for it, it will go. Constant watch is its price. Athens changed. It was a change that took place without being noticed though it was of the extreme importance, a spiritual change which affected the whole state. It had been the Athenian’ s pride and joy to give to their city. That they could get material benefits from her never entered their minds. There had to be a complete change of attitude before they could look at the city as an employer who paid her citizens for doing her work. Now instead of men giving to the state, the state was to give to them. What the people wanted was a government which would provide a comfortable life for them; and with this as the primary object, ideas of freedom and self-reliance and responsibility were neglected to the point ofdisappearing. Athens was more and more looked on as a cooperative business possessed of great wealth in which all citizens had a right to share.Athens reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom from responsibility. There could be only one result. If men insisted on being free from the burden of self-dependence and responsibility for the common good, they would cease to be free. Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom. It is to be had on no other terms. Athens, the Athens of Ancient Greece, refused responsibility; she reached the end of freedom and was never to have it again.But, “the excellent becomes the permanent”, Aristotle said. Athens lost freedom forever, but freedom was not lost forever for the world. A great American, James Madison, referred to: “The capacity (能力) of mankind for self-government.” No doubt he had not an idea that he was speaking Greek. Athens was not in the farthest background of his mind, but once man has a great and good idea, it is never completely lost. The Digital Age cannot destroy it. Some how in this or that man’s thought such an idea lives though unconsidered by the world of action. One can never be sure that it is not on the point of breaking out into action only sure that it will do so sometime.25.What does the underlined word “tyrannies” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Countries where their people need help.B. Powerful states with higher civilization.C. Splendid empires where people enjoy freedom.D. Governments ruled with absolute power.26.People believing in freedom are those who________ .A. regard their life as their own businessB. seek gains as their primary objectC. behave within the laws and value systemsD. treat others with kindness and pity27.What change in attitude took place in Athens?A. The Athenians refused to take their responsibility.B. The Athenians no longer took pride in the city.C. The Athenians benefited spiritually from the government.D. The Athenians looked on the government as a business.28.What does the sentence “There could be only one result.” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Athens would continue to be free.B. Athens would cease to have freedom.C. Freedom would come from responsibility.D. Freedom would stop Athens from self-dependence.29.Why does the author refer to Aristotle and Madison?A. The author is hopeful about freedom.B. The author is cautious about self-government.C. The author is skeptical of Greek civilization.D. The author is proud of man’s capacity.30.What is the author’s understanding of freedom?A. Freedom can be more popular in the digital age.B. Freedom may come to an end in the digital age.C. Freedom should have priority over responsibility.D. Freedom needs to be guaranteed by responsibility.CIn 2004, when my daughter Becky was ten, she and my husband, Joe, were united in their desire for a dog. As for me, I shared none of their canine lust.But why, they pleaded. “Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” But we’ll do it. “Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” Yes, yes, and yes. “I don’t believe you.” We will. We promise.They didn’t. F rom day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day) , neither thought to walk the dog. While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to schedule her vet appointments, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one. As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small, medium, and large), she calculated ,”The medium one is the sucker in the pack .”Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵融合) . She’d look at m e with those sad brown eyes of hers, beam her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand — which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she became my fifth appendage(附肢), snoring on my home-office couch as I worked, cradling against my feet as I read, and splaying across my stomach as I watched television.Even so, part of me continued to resent walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised. Not fair , I’d balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked . “Not fair, ” I’ d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home.Then one day — January 1, 2007 , to be exact —my husband ’ s doctor uttered an unthinkable word: leukemia ( 白血病) .With that, I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital, doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of hospitalizations, Becky, 12 at the time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment's notice for medical emergencies. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with.As the months went by, I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the day's upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.When serious illness visits your household, it's not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you know acts differently.Not Misty. Take her for a walk, and she had no interest in Joe's blood counts or bone marrow test results. On the street or in the park, she had only one thing on her mind: squirrels! She was so joyous that even on the worst days, she could make me smile. On a daily basis, she reminded me that life goes on.After Joe died in 2009, Misty slept on his pillow.I'm grateful一to a point. The truth is, after years of balking, I've come to enjoy my walks with Misty. As I watch her chase after a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminds me, too, thatno matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future , there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.31.why didn't the writer agree to raise a dog at the beginning of the story?A. She was afraid the dog would get the family into trouble.B. It would be her business to take care of the dog.C. Her husband and daughter were united as one.D.

People will change their attitude toward you when you are in difficulty.DSalvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exitingthrough the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.37.Which of the following best describe Dali according to Paragraph 1?A. Optimistic.B. ProductiveC. Generous.D. Traditional.38.What is Dali’s The Persistence of Memory considered to be?A. One of his masterworks.B. A successful screen adaptation.C. An artistic creation for the stage.D. One of the beat TV programmes.39.How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?A. By popularity.B. By importance.C. By size and shape.D. By time and subject.40.What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Artworks.B. Projects.C. Donations.D. Documents.三、七选五根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

It helped display their money status.B. It was created by famous architects.C. It was named after a famous institute.D.

Its customers can enjoy their own composition.D. Its customers can choose from various new styles.BEveryone looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person’s ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead to a better life and a better way of doing things.All these, however, remain true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.However,at the back of the minds of many people,especially those who miss the “good old days”, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes moreefficient,people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish .The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or to see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication gadets, such as mobile phones and ipads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally.A personal visit carries with the additional feature of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse our selves or turn the other persons off.With efficiency also comes mass production.Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today.Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handcrafts(手工艺品) are now produced in a factory.Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people’s attitude. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our need s, a new “past” is created.23.According to Paragraph 1, progress can benefit people when they are willing to _______.A. live a better lifeB. look for better methodsC. change ways of livingD. accept technology and advance steadily24.The underlined word “gadgets” is closest in meaning to _______.A. toolsB. messagesC. barriersD. skills25.The author explains “efficiency comes with a price” by _______.A. describing a processB. using examplesC. following time orderD. making classificationpared with home-made handicrafts, machine made products _______.A. lack great accuracyB. lack the personal touchC. are of high valueD. are quite welcome27.What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4?A. It can destroy old traditions.B. It can lead to social progress.C. It can be used to correct mistakes.D. It can be used to preserve old products.28.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. Progress can suit the needs of daily life.B. People review the past with great regret.C. Technology should be introduced in a fixed way.D. People’s attitude decides the use of technology.CIt was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore. Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan.Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and—most important —sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater. Mr. Bellow did not mind if you did.That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.We’d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke.Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They’re really memori es of the screen, not memories of my life.29.In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner?A. 1952B. 1962C. 1972D. 198230.What does the underlined word”It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The heatB. The theater.C. The Music ManD. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance31.What do we know about Mr. Bellow?A. He loved children very much.B. He was a fan of John Wayne.C. He sold air conditioners.D. He was a movie star.32.Why did the author and his/her brother see the same movies several times?A. The two movies were really wonderful.B. They wanted to avoid the heat outside.C. The manager of the theater was friendly.D. They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater.33.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The author turned out to be a great singer.B. The author enjoyed the heat wave of 1962.C. The author’s life has been changed by the two movies.D. The author considers the experience at the theater unforgettable.DWhen I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor of the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University（SMU）in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn’t afford the operation because her family was poor.Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas.She was cleaning out the attic（阁楼）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript（手稿）. On its top page w ere the words, “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Gainestown boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henry’s.My father then set out to sell it. Eventfully, he found himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loved the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about. But I doubt that it could have been better than his own story.34.Who found the O. Henry’s manuscript?A. The girl’s mother.B. The author’s father.C. The girl.D. The author.35.Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic?A. O. Henry once worked in Houston.B. O. Henry once stayed in Galveston.C. O. Henry once moved to Des Moines.D. O. Henry once taught at SMU.36.The underlined word “authenticated” in Paragr aph 2 probably means __________.A. namedB. treatedC. provedD. described37.According to the text, why did the author’s father go to Des Moines?A. To sell the O. Henry story.B. To meet the author himself.C. To talk with the O. Henry expert.D. To give money to the girl.三、七选五This Way to DreamlandDaydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for beingunaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetf ul and clumsy._38.__They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. __39.__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots orotherwise looking like a fool?First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others.Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.__40. _ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it w hile you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower orwalking, or even making meaningless drawings.It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concerntrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep._41. _Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.____42.Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in theclouds.A. Having interesting things to think about also helps.B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relatively, Coke or Post-it notes.D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hardto understand.G. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re inthe daydream zone.四、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

A smart city is one that uses technology to collect data in real-time to manage resources and assets within that city. These assets include water supply, public transportation, and even people. By being able to gather and analyze data in real-time, cities can become more efficient, safer and improve the quality of life for their residents. For example, San Francisco uses IoT (Internet of Things) technology to monitor the activity of vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians at intersections. The technology provides real-time data to the city’s transportation management center, which can use it to develop street and crosswalk plans that improve safety.Another city using IoT technology is Singapore, which has developed a system that monitors water quality in its reservoirs. The technology enables the city to identify pollution at its source, take swift action, and prevent contamination of its water supply.Smart cities are not without their challenges. Security is a major concern with hackers having the potential to access and exploit sensitive data. Furthermore, there is a risk of discrimination as not all residents may have equal access to the technology that makes smart cities possible.1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. The definition and benefits of smart cities.B. The challenges of IoT technology.C. The importance of improving safety in cities.D. The potential for inequality in smart cities.2. What is one example of IoT technology being used in smart cities?A. Monitoring water quality in reservoirsB. Developing safety plans for crosswalksC. Using data to improve public transportationD. Collecting data to improve energy efficiency in buildings.3. Why might some people be concerned about smart cities?A. They may cause pollution.B. They may promote inequality.C. They may be too expensive to maintain.D. They may require too much data analysis.Passage 2：Some people have a lot of difficulty sleeping. There are many potential reasons for this, and a lot of advice on how tocure it. Some people say that taking a hot bath before bedcan help. Others suggest reading a book or drinking some tea. But perhaps one of the most effective ways to improve sleepis to reduce the amount of blue light exposure in the evening. Blue light is a wavelength of light that can inhibit the production of melatonin, a hormone that helps us sleep. This type of light is emitted from our electronic devices, such as smartphones, computers, and televisions, and it can disruptour internal clock and make us feel more awake.One way to reduce blue light exposure is to avoid using electronics in the hour before bedtime. Another way is to use a blue light filter. There are a variety of filters available online that can be placed over screens to reduce blue light exposure.1. What is one potential cause of difficulty sleeping?A. Reading before bedB. Drinking tea before bedC. Exposure to blue lightD. Inadequate exercise2. What is the main effect of blue light on the body?A. It helps the body produce melatonin.B. It can stimulate the body's internal clock.C. It can help us stay awake and alert.D. It can cause headaches and migraines.3. What is one way to reduce blue light exposure?A. Do not use electronics in the hour before bedtime.B. Read a book before bed instead of using electronics.C. Take a hot bath before bed to relax.D. Look out the window for 30 minutes before sleeping.阅读理解部分答案：Passage 1: 1.A 2.B 3.BPassage 2: 1.C 2.B 3.A题型：作文高三英语写作训练：世界读书日假定你是某中学生李华，请你写一封信给你的笔友Matt，邀请他一起参加学校于3月29日举行的世界读书日活动。

The Chinese maker known for low-priced phones on Thursday unveiled (发布) a new model that Chairman Jun Lei said is comparable to Apple's iPhone 6 but thinner, lighter and much cheaper. The phone starts at 2, 299 yuan ($375), less than half the 5,288 yuan ($ 865) price of an iPhone 6 in China.Xiaomi, founded in 2010, passed South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. in the second quarter of last year as the best-selling smartphone brand in China by number of phones sold.The company is expanding into India and other developing markets but has yet to announce plans to enter the United States or Europe.Xiaomi "is a respected brand that already has an Apple-like following" in China, said analyst Brian Blair, who tracks mobile device makers at Rosenblatt Securities. Apple is still a relatively small player in China, selling about 45 million iPhones there last year, Blair estimates, but will continue to grow."Apple is very much a premium (高端的) brand," said Blair. "The company that's more at risk is Samsung, which has been losing share in that market."Privately held (私人控股的) Xiaomi said last year's sales tripled to 61. 1 million phones and revenue (收益) more than doubled to 74. 3 billion yuan ($12.2 billion). The company, based in Beijing, recently completed a round of fundraising from investors that it said valued Xiaomi at $ 45 billion, making it one of the world's most valuable technology brands.Xiaomi ran into legal trouble in India in December after a court blocked sales while it hears a complaint by Sweden's LM Ericcson that the Chinese company violated its patents.In a blog post earlier this month, Lei called the case a "rite of passage" (成年礼) for a young company.21.Which of the following statements is true?A. Xiaomi sold more cellphones than Samsung in 2010 in China.B. Compared to Xiaomi, Apple's iPhone 6 is thinner and lighter.C. Low-price is Xiaomi's advantage over Apple's iPhones.D. The company is expanding into the United States or Europe.22.What can be inferred from the passage according to Brian Blair?A. More than 45 million iPhones will be sold this year.B. Xiaomi can beat Apple in the market of China.C. He thinks Xiaomi is superior to Apple.D. Samsung will be closed for losing share in the market.23.How is the 5th paragraph developed?A.

Positive.D. Doubtful.BEtymology, the study of words and word roots, may sound like the kind of thing done by boring librarians in small, dusty rooms．Yet etymologists actually have a uniquely interesting job．They are in many ways just like archaeologists （考古学家）digging up the physical history of people and events．The special aspect of etymology is that it digs up history, so to speak, through the words and phrases that are left behind．The English language, in particular, is a great field to explore history through words As a language, English has an extraordinary number of words．This is partly due to its ability to adapt foreign words so readily．For example, " English" words such as kindergarten （from German）, croissant （from French）, and cheetah （from Hindi）have become part of the language with little or no change from their original sounds and spellings．So English-language etymologists have a vast world of words to explore．Another enjoyable thing about etymology for most word experts is solving word mysteries （谜）．No, etymologists do not go around solving murders, like the great detective Sherlock Holmes．What these word experts solve are mysterious origins of some of our most common wordsOne of the biggest questions English language experts have pursued is how English came to have the phrase OK．Though it is one of the most commonly used expressions, its exact beginning is a puzzle even to this day．Even its spelling is not entirely consistent-unless you spell it Okay, it is hard even to call it a word．Etymologists have been able to narrow OK’s origin down to a likely, although not certain, source（来源）．It became widely used around the time of Martin Van Buren's run for president in 1840．His nickname was Old Kinderhook．What troubles word experts about this explanation is that the phrase appeared in some newspapers before Van Buren became well known．It is likely that Van Buren could be called its primary source Etymologists will doubtlessly keep searching for the initial source．However, it is clear that OK’s popularity and reputation have topped those of the American president to whom it has been most clearly linked．25.The author mentions the words like "croissant" in Paragraph 2 to indicate ．A．words have changed a lot in the two languagesB．what English-language etymologists are exploring nowC．English has absorbed many words from other foreign languagesD．the English vocabulary is difficult to the non-English-speaking people26.The underlined word "pursued" in Paragraph 4 means ．A．looked upon B．dug up C．put in D．set down27.We can learn from the passage that etymologists ．A．discover the possible origin of wordsB．help detectives to solve mysterious murdersC．write interesting stories for some newspapersD．explore the English language as well as the recent events28.What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To present the history of English wordsB．To explain the procedure of an etymologist's jobC．To introduce the pleasure of the study of words and word roots．D．To teach readers how to distinguish English and non-English wordsCWhen I was 12, I got a part-time job on a dairy farm, milking cows. We milked 65 cows twice a day. One day, I complained to my father about having to go milk those cows, saying it was tiring. He said, you know, boy, to work is a blessing. I looked at the men who'd worked harder. I had a feeling I had been told something really important, but it took many years before it sunk in.Back then, going to college was a rare privilege. My father told me if I'd picked something to study that I liked doing, I'd always look forward to my work. But he also added, even having a job you hate is better than not having a job at all. I wanted to be a farmer, but I joined a military program to help pay for college. And what started out as an obligation to the Army became a way of life that I stayed committed to for 37 years.In the late 1980s, during a visit to Bangladesh, I saw a woman with her baby on her back, breaking bricks with a hammer. I asked a local officer why they weren't using a machine to make the work easier. He told me a machine would put that lady out of work. And as bad as that woman's job was, it was enough to keep a small family alive. It reminded me of my father's words: to work is a blessing.After seeing a lot of people like that woman in Bangladesh, I've come to believe that people without jobs are not free. They're victims of crime, poor health, and depression. People who have jobs can have a home, send their kids to school, develop a sense of pride, contribute to the good of the community and even help others. When we can work, we are free. We are blessed.29.Which can be the best title of the text?A. My chosen way of lifeB. To work is a blessingC. Why should I workD.

The Huffington Post released a list of seven mistakes we need to let go of in order to become happier people. Let’s take a look.1.Placing too much emphasis on fulfillment (成就感)Those who put a lot of pressure on themselves to be happy feel more lonely on a daily basis than those who do not, according to research conducted at the University of Denver, US. 2.Keeping it all inKeeping it all together during tough times can hurt you. Crying is the body’s emotional response to outside triggers (诱因). By suppressing it, you may be damaging your mental and physical health.3.Looking at your smart phone all the timeConnecting with others may be the key to happiness, but a recent University of Michigan study found that the more time participants spent on social networking sites, the less happy they felt.4.Not movingIt’s no secret that a healthy lifestyle is a big part of happiness. Somethin g as simple as a walk can help you increase your creativity and expose you to essential vitamins.5.Not reflecting on the pastIn a 2012 study on nostalgia (怀旧) and emotion, participants reported a higher sense of physiological (生理的) comfort when they looked back on the past. Affection for heartwarming memories helps people relate their past experiences to the present in order to create a greater sense of meaning.6.Resisting changeA study on the psychology of choices shows that the human brain naturally tries to avoid loss –but that resistance can cause stress. Whether it’s fear of the unknown or fear of losing what you currently have, the pressure to hold on to the present can harm your future life satisfaction.7.Not being mindfulSetting aside time for meditation (沉思) allows your body to relax, cultivates (培养) an attitude of gratitude (感恩) and lowers your stress level, according to researchers at University of California, Los Angeles, US.32.What is the main purpose of the article?A.
