As I felt my heart sink deep down into the holes of darkness, I considered every word the doctor spoke to me. She _36_ I had a disorder, and that I might never be able to have children 37 completely unaware of the great 38 she was bringing to me in a matter of seconds.
It was difficult to try and understand the effect such 39 could have upon a woman, especially a woman recently married. 1 felt as though all light inside me had been 40 permanently.
As a young girl 1 had always 41 my children looking much like me, and my future husband, and that I would be a(n) 42 mother. Therefore, I spent quantities of time teaming about my disorder. I talked with other women who had 43 it, and who had become mothers despite all difficulties. I believed in my heart
that i could 44 this.
It wasn't until about a year into trying, after continuous 45 _ pregnancy tests, that hope started to die within me. My husband did everything he could to 46 me, and to make promises to me. 47 of it mattered when I was as deep into myself as I was.
A friend gave me a(n) 48 to a natural, spiritual healer who 49 listened and coached, without prescribing (开药方). I started seeing this healing coach twice every single week for almost three months, 50 1 saw changes in myself that I would never have imagined. I had been so 51 with myself and my pity, that I had been 52 to the gifts that God had supplied me with, already.
One of the greatest 53 I learned was that I was trying to control something that was 54 my hands, and the outcome was even 55 . It was time to be appreciative, and to wake up every morning thankful for such a beautiful life.

第三部分阅读理解（共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
The sun is setting like a huge orange ball. It's the cool evening on a stretch of beach. The water is patting the shore, the breeze is blowing slightly. There are one or two joggers and a couple of fishermen. Most people have gone home for the day.
An old man, with rounded shoulders, bushy eyebrows, and bony features, carves the bucket up to the dock (码头) that goes out into the water. He stands on the dock and all of a sudden there come a mass of dancing dots -seagulls! The man takes out of his bucket handfuls of shrimps (虾) and begins to throw them on the dock. Some seagulls land on his shoulders, some land on his hat, and they eat the shrimps. Long after the shrimps are gone his feathered friends remain.
Why is this man feeding seagulls? What could push him to do this as he does week after week?
The man in that scene is Eddie Rickenbacher, a famous World War II pilot. His plane, The Flying Fortress, went down in 1942. No one could imagine that he and his eight passengers should escape death by climbing into two boats for thirty days. They fought thirst, the sun and sharks. But what nearly killed them was starvation. Their foods were gone within eight days and they didn't have anything left.
Every day Rickenbacher and the passengers would have a daily afternoon devotional and prayer time. One day after the devotional, Rickenbacher put his hat over his eyes and tried to get some sleep. Within a few moments he felt something on his head. He knew in an instant it was a seagull. All the others on the two boats noticed the seagull. No one spoke, no one moved. Rickenbacher quickly grabbed the seagull and with thanksgiving, they ate the flesh of the bird. They used the remains for fish bait (鱼饵and survived.
56. When evening falls, the beach is

The Most Fantastic Staircases in the World
Infinity and beyond
The architecture of the staircase combines form
and function, upper and lower space. It can represent
power or status, or symbolize spiritual uplift and the
climb to knowledge. A new book published by Thames
& Hudson, The Staircase: The Architecture of Ascent
explores the history and meaning of the staircase, from
the simple, straight-flight steps of the Mayan pyramids,
to the spiral ramp(螺旋型坡道) of
Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum and the
computer-aided designs of today.
The steps of the Toltec-Maya pyramid at Chichen Itza
is the ancestor of all stair design. Appearing to stretch up tc
the sky, this style of staircase came to symbolize a rise to
heaven and infinity, and has captured artists' imaginations.
Let there be light
The "lantern" at the dome (圆屋顶) of a staircase is an
important design feature -allowing the light to stream in.
The view shown here of the lantern of the Chateau of
Chambord in the Loire, France, shows the flat ceiling
decorated with coffering (方格天花板). The Chateau marks a
high point in the development of the staircase, reflecting the
Renaissance (文艺复兴}) architects' liking for the spiral
structure around an open space.
High and mighty
The spirit of the Baroque (巴洛克) appears in the
monumental staircase of the Palazzo Canossa in Mantua,
Lombardy, Italy, built in the 1600s for the Gonzaga
family, who ruled that part of northern Italy from the 14th to
the 18th centuries. The figures that greet the visitor on the
landing include two large dogs, symbolizing the powerful
family.
High drama
The palaces of Germany and Austria show
German Baroque at its most dramatic and rich. At the
Wǘrzburg Resident, the ceiling is covered in a painting
by Venetian artist Giambattista Tiepolo describing the
four comers of the earth above the great staircase.
60. The stair designers of today draw inspiration from____
A. the Guggenheim Museum
B. the Toltec-Maya pyramid
C. the Chateau of Chambord
D. the Wǘrzburg Residenz
61. Which of the following designs would probably be of the Renaissance style?
A. A simple, straight staircase.
B. A flat ceiling left bare.
C. A spiral staircase with careful decoration.
D. A plain dome of a staircase,
62. The staircases of the Palazzo Canossa and the Wǘrzburg Resident
A. are both built in the Baroque style
B. both describe the four comers of the earth
C. symbolize spiritual uplift and a rise to heaven
D. have the figures of dogs above their staircases
C
We regularly hear how important consumer spending is for the economy. The story goes like this: the more consumers spend, the more money circulates in the economy, which contributes to healthy job growth and profits. Keynes, a British economist, went as far as to say that individuals saving their money may actua]ly be hurting the economy. Sounds troubling, doesn't it?
Fear not. You aren't actually hurting anyone else by saving money. Strong economic growth only comes from one place: savings. Not consumption. In fact, economic activity should not be mistaken for economic growth. For example, somebody takes their money, walks into a store, and purchases goods. The store increases its revenue.
But what happens to all of those goods and services that people have chosen not to consume by saving their money? Simple: Other people are allowed to consume them. Think of it this way: When you lend out your savings, you are actually saying, "Here, I am not going to consume right now, so why don't you?" Banks simply play the
middleman: they collect lots of people's savings and then lend out lots of funds.
It takes an unbelievable amount of goods and services to construct a building. It takes food, shelter, and entertainment for all of the workers, as well. Without savings, it is quite impossible to finance such a construction. The coordination (协调) between savings and consumption is a necessary basis for sound economic growth. This coordination is also why consumer lending (say, to borrow a big sum of money to buy a car) is not productive, in a strict sense. It doesn't increase the net (净的) amount of wealth of an economy. Those savings could have been used to construct, say, factory equipment.
None of this means consumption and spending are "bad" things. They simply do not make us wealthier. After all, the final goal of production and savings is to consume. But to say that consumption is the engine of economic growth is to put the cart before the horse. Or, to rephrase: the consumption of wealth can never make you wealthier. Happier, perhaps. Wealthier, no.
63. What is the author's attitude towards Keynes' theory?
A. Approving.
B. Reserved.
C. Uncertain.
D. Critical.
64. The underlined word "revenue" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_____”
A. cost
B. reputation
C. interest
D. income
65. The author holds the view that
A. governments shall cut out banks as financial middleman
B. economic activity is equal to economic growth
C. consumer lending is the engine of economic growth
D. consumption is likely to lead to increased happiness
66. According to the author, which chart could show the effect of savings on economy?
67. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. The Saving Behavior of the Economy
B. Consumption: a Key Concept in Economy
C. Consumer Spending and Economic Growth
D. The Truth about Savings and Consumption

Kino, Juana, and Coyotito begin their long march north. They walk all night and make camp in a roadside shelter at sunrise. Along the way, Juana begins to doubt whether the pearl is worth far more than the dealers offered, but Kino points out that his attackers would not have tried to steal the pearl were it worth nothing.
The family hurries farther into the shade for another rest. As Juana plays with Coyotito，Kino wakes from a dream and demands that they keep quiet. Moving forward, he spots three trackers following them. He decides to lose them up in the mountains.
As their climbing grows steeper, Kino varies and doubles back on their way to mislead the trackers. As the sun begins to set, Kino and Juana reach a nearby opening and refill their water supply at a pool and stream, where Juana washes Coyotito. From the lookout, Kino spies the trackers at a distance below, hurrying up the slope (山坡) Kino misleads the trackers by creating a false track up the cliff (悬崖) and going down again to take shelter with
Juana and Coyotito in a nearby cave.
By evening, the crackers arrive at the pool, where they make camp and eat. In the cave, Coyotito grows restless, and Juana quiets him. Kino notices that two of the men have settled into sleep, while the third keeps watch.
Kino takes off his clothes to avoid being seen by the watchman, hiding behind a palm tree waiting for a move before the moon rises. Just as he is ready to spring, the moon appears, and he realizes that his opportunity has been lost.
Suddenly, Coyotito lets out a cry. The watchman shoots in the direction of the cry. As the watchman shoots, Kino springs upon the trackers, killing the watchman and seizing the gun. Knocking one of the other men out with a fierce blow, he watches as the last man attempts to flee up the cliff. The man makes little progress before Kino stops him with a first shot, and then murders him with another shot between the eyes. In the moment that follows, Kino hears the blood-curdling cry issuing from his wife, mourning the death of Coyotito.
Later the next day, Kino and Juana walk side by side into La Paz, with Juana carrying Coyotito's body in a sack over her shoulder. They walked, with unmoving eyes, all the way to the sea. At the edge of the water, Kino stops and pulls the pearl from his pocket. He stares into it carefully, and a flood of evil (邪恶的) memories washes over him. Kino holds the pearl out in front of him, and then throws it out into the ocean.
68. What can be inferred from the passage?

One butterfly species has come back from near extinction (k}) and is beginning to quickly adapt to warmer weather, a new research has found.
The research, presented at the Butterfly Conservation's international conference, found that the quino checkerspot butterfly has both moved to higher, cooler altitudes and has chosen an entirely new plant on which to lay its eggs. The butterfly, once thickly settled in Mexico and California, has witnessed a sharp drop in its numbers as climate change sees temperatures in their natural habitats (栖息地) become too hot and dry for the food plant its babies eat.
Camille Parmesan, professor at Plymouth University .said that while the butterfly's movement is encouraging, it also points to the need for habitat protection. If the butterflies --and potentially other species -adapt quickly enough to move to higher altitudes, it's required that healthy environments exist in those altitudes in which the
butterflies can settle. It's also required that these species have corridors (走廊) by which to move to higher altitudes, so that they can avoid getting killed by roads or long stretches of developed land.
Scientists believe the quino checkerspot is the first butterfly species to change habitat and diet so quickly, but it's not the only species to be forced to adapt to climate change. A 2013 study found that, while trees aren't moving northward as quickly as scientists expected, they're instead speeding up their lifecycles, causing younger trees to replace older trees at a higher rate. Certain desert plants, on the other hand, have migrated (迁徙) surprisingly far upslope, with some moving more than 800 feet from their 19631owermost boundaries.
Other species aren't adapting so quickly, however. The migration patterns of many butterfly species are being changed by earlier and warmer springs -something that's happening to some bird species as well. This changed migration timing could lead to mismatches in food and weather conditions for the migrating species, with food sources that were traditionally obtainable at a migration destination hatching or blooming (开花) too early for the birds or butterflies to consume.
72. We can learn from the passage that the quino checkerspot butterfly
A. will be certain to die out in the very near future because of global warming
B. is suffering from a drop in its population due to cold climate
C. has moved to cooler places and chosen another food plant for its babies
D. adapts well to their natural habitats in Mexico and California
73. How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?
A. By making lists.
B. By using examples.
C. By analyzing causes.
D. By making comparisons.
74. In response to warmer temperatures, the trees are
A. quickening their birth and death rates
B. the only species to be forced to move uphill
C. moving northward as quickly as scientists expected
D. moved to cooler places at a rate of 800 feet per decade
75. According to the last paragraph, when the species arrive at the migration destination, they might____
A. lay their eggs too early
B. suffer from severe diseases
C. have no food sources
D. change weather conditions
