It was her giggling that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn't all that funny.
Walking over to the offender, I asked for the 36 .Frozen, she refused to give it to me. I waited,all attention in the classroom on the quiet 37 between teacher and student. When she finally 38 it over she whispered, "Okay, but I didn't draw it."
It was a hand-drawn 39 of me, teeth blackened and the words "I'm stupid" coming out of my mouth.
I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind, 40 , was working angrily as I struggled not to 41 . I figured I knew the two most likely candidates for drawing the picture. It would do them some 42 to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
Thankfully, I was able to keep myself 43 .
When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told them how 44 this was for me. I told them there must be a reason 45 and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I sniffed in the back of the classroom.
As I 46 the notes later, many of them said something like, "I've got nothing 47 you," or "I'm sorry you were hurt." Some kids said, "We're afraid of you." But two notes, from the girls who I 48 were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too 49 , too strict…
Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of 50 my students, I had begun commanding them to 51 .Where I thought I was driving them to success I was 52 driving them away.
I had some apologizing to do. But the next day in the classroom, one boy
and one girl each handed me a card. The one 53 by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for 54 .
This was a lesson for both the kids and me. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the 55 .

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
How would you like an easy way to earn $2,500? All you have to do is to sit around and wait for your meals. There’s a catch, however. You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week. There are no books or television or radio for amusement. You can’t leave until the week is up. And a camera will be recording your every move.
Two people actually took the job. The idea came from Rob Thompson, a video artist. He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated. His goal was to raise people’s awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food. He decided to pay $5,000 out of his own savings to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week.
To Rob’s surprise, quite a few people answered his advertisement. He had interviewed and selected Eric, a 24-year-old restaurant worker, and Para, a 24-year-old chemist. The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide. A camera would record their experiences, which would take place in an art museum.
The week was long and difficult. They slept on a hard wooden floor. They couldn’t stand up without hanging their heads. They ate vegetables and drank water from a garden hosepipe. Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain. There were no sinks, mirrors, or toothbrushes in the cage. Their only inspiration was the two framed checks that hung on the wall outside the cage. Visitors who came here were warned, “Do not feed the humans.”
Finally it was over, and Para and Eric appeared from their cage. They had survived
the week, and they each had a $2,500 check in their hands. When Rob Thompson opened the cage, Eric came out, changed into clean clothes, and ate a chocolate bar right away. “It’s great to be able to stand up,” he said. Para just changed her clothes and left. After a week of visitors and reporters watching her, she didn’t want to talk to anyone.
56. What kind of person is Rob Thompson?
A. He is curious about people’s personal life.
B. He is kind-hearted to animals.
C. He hates people around.
D. He likes to help poor people.
57. The underlined word “catch” probably means__________.
A. unsolved problem
B. surprising wonder
C. unbelievable fact
D. hidden difficulty
58. What made it most difficult for the two to stay in the cage?
A. They didn’t know each other.
B. They couldn’t lie down to sleep in the cage.
C. They didn’t have meat to eat.
D. They had to do almost everything under others’ eyes.
59. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. Easy Way to Earn $2,500
B. Do Not Feed the Humans
C. Living Like a Chicken
D. Getting Along Well Anyway

An Israeli law banning too skinny models went into effect with the start of 2013. The law, approved last March in Israel, requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18.5 for three months before a fashion show. That means a woman who is 68 inches tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.
“This law is another step in the war against eating disorders,” said physician Adatto. “Underweight models,” he explained, “can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny.”
But some critics in this country say it is misguided, focusing on weight instead of health. They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry. “I think it’s an approach that isn’t going to work.” said eating disorder expert Susan Ice, who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models.
But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like sh e needed to be hospitalized. He said. “I realized that only legislation(立法) can change the situation. There was no time to waste;
so many girls were dieting to death.”
However, the efforts to regulate models’ weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health.
Still, folks including Ice say there’s no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to de al with. “Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders, but it makes it harder,” she says. “It’s a difficult recovery environment, worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal.”
64. One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is ________.
A. to change the working conditions of models
B. to lower the chance of skinny models’ death
C. to provide guidance for women worshiping thinness
D. to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders
65. In the opinion of the c ritics, the law won’t succeed because.
A. it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit.
B. it doesn’t provide a proper approach that can work well.
C. it doesn’t create a healthy working environment for models.
D. the fashion industry is much too influential.
66. What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation?
A. Meeting an ambitious but too skinny model.
B. Establishing his fashion model agent.
C. Being interviewed by a reporter.
D. Seeing a model die from eating disorders.
D
In face of global warming, much effort has been focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through a variety of strategies. But while much of the research and innovation has concentrated on finding less-polluting energy alternatives, it may be decades before clean technologies like wind and solar meet a significant portion of our energy needs.
In the meantime, the amount of CO2 in the air is rapidly approaching the limits proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). “As long as we’re consuming fossil fuels, we’re putting out CO2,” says Klaus Lackner, a geophysicist at Columbia University, “We cannot let the CO2in the atmosphere rise indefinitely.”
That sense of urgency has increased interest in capturing and storing CO2, which the IPCC says could provide the more than 50% reduction in emissions needed to reduce global warming. “We see the potential for capture and storage to play an integral (基本的) role in reducing emissions,” says Kim Corley, Shell’s senior advisor of CO2and environmental affairs. That forward thinking strategy is gaining support. The U.S. Department of Energy recently proposed putting $1 billion into a new $2.4 billion coal-burning energy plant. The plant’s carbon-capture technologies would serve as a pilot project for other new coal-burning plants.
But what do you do with the gas once you’ve captured it? One option is to put it to new uses. Dakota Gasification of North Dakota captures CO2 at a plant that converts (转换) coal into synthetic（合成的）natural gas. It then ships the gas 200 miles by pipeline to Canada, where it is pumped underground in oil recovery operations. In the Netherlands, Shell delivers CO2to farmers who pipe it into their greenhouses, increasing their production of fruits and vegetables.
However, scientists say that the scale of CO2emissions will require vast amounts of long-term storage. Some propose storing the CO2 in coal mines or liquid storage in the ocean, Shell favors storing CO2 in deep geological structures such as saline (盐的) formations and exhausted oil and gas fields that exist throughout the world.
67. What does the author intend to tell readers?
A. How to find more oil and natural gases.
B. How to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
C. How to deal with the greenhouse gas creatively.
D. How to make good use of solar and wind energy.
68. According to the passage, the following statements are true EXCEPT that _______.
A. the idea of capturing and storing CO2 is supported by the American government
B. it is widely accepted that the CO2captured should be stored in deep geological structures
C. capturing and storing CO2is intended to handle the problem with global warming
D. long-term storage of CO2 is no easy job because of the scale of CO2 emissions
69. By using CO2, Dutch farmers have been able to _______.
A. increase their production of fruits and vegetables
B. convert coal into synthetic natural gas
C. pump it underground in oil recovery operations
D. make exhausted oil and gas fields productive
70. How would you understand the underlined part in the third paragraph?
A. It means a project training new pilots who will serve the new strategy.
B. It refers to the coal-burning energy plant that U.S government sponsors.
C. It implies the carbon-capture technologies will be popular once successful.
D. It shows the new idea of reduction of CO2 emissions needs a large sum of investment.

第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。

每个空格只填一个单词。

Learning is a daily adventure that one carries throughout life, and we should keep learning something new every day. To become a lifelong learner, first of all you should learn where your talents and interests lie. You can try many different things so that you’ll find you’re not only good at a few things. Be careful of past memories that tell you to stay away from certain things. This can soon prevent you seizing chances to try many new things. Anyway, be careful not to let past experiences like these cut off opportunities for you now.
To make learning fun, you need to see learning as an exploration, not a chore (杂事). Don’t just force yourself to learn things because they’re important or necessary. Instead, learn things you need to learn and you love to learn. Follow your
heart, as well as your sense of duty. Even when you’re learning the things you have to, seek to go beyond what you’re being asked to learn. Look at the history, case studies, different applications, etc., to make your learning experience much more colorful.
Doing reading as much as you can is also helpful. So make friends with local new and used book sellers. Through reading you’ll never stop learning. Wise people read lots of books all the time; it’s as simple as that. And reading will help you know the d iscoveries and mistakes of others so that you don’t have to learn things the hard way. So remember that books, newspapers, and magazines are all reading, and as are websites, reviews and other online sources of information.
Asking the right questions can be more important than having the answers. So be sure to listen closely and understand the response. Sometimes a response is difficult to understand. Feel free to take notes, ask more questions and break down the response into smaller components (成分) to make sense of it. You can keep a diary or notebook to record what you learn and what questions you still have. Questions can teach as much as, or more than, answers.
To be a lifelong learner, often evaluate (评估) and apply what you learn. Does it make sense? Is it true? Try to answer these questions and make good evaluation about what you’re learning. In addition, applying what you learn is the best way to test it and it’ll help you learn it more completely and keep it longer.

One possible version:
Today the quality of our natural environment has become an important issue. This problem results from various reasons.
The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded. We are running out of our natural resources and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot survive. Concerned people have made some progress in environmental protection. Governments of many countries have established laws to protect the air, forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution. Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental problems. People should be further educated to recognize the importance of the problems, to use modern methods of birth control, to conserve our natural resources and recycle our products.
In my opinion, I think we should take measures to control the increase of population, and every one of us should try his best to protect our environment. If all of us can do our part, I am sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in the future.
