第二十一组(建议用时：45分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解More and more people take part in marathons these days—over 30，000 people will run the London Marathon this weekend, for instance.But it’s not just the 26 miles and 385 yards that could be a daunting prospect.“I have to admit to being completely frustrated by the blocking and for 18—19 miles was just keeping away from people and being held up，”one participant grumbled after the 2012 London Marathon.“I had to overtake a lot of people and ended up with bruised(淤肿的) forearms from all the elbows，”said another.How do such crowding problems arise, and could they be reduced? Some researchers believe that we can find the answers through a more familiar system in which jams appear—road traffic flow.Martin Treiber, of the Technical University of Dresden in Germany, has previously developed models for traffic flow.One of the first attempts to model traffic flow was made in the 1950s by James Lighthill and his collaborator Gerard Whitham of Manchester University.They considered the traffic as a kind of liquid flowing down a pipe, and looked at how the flow changes as the fluid gets denser(浓稠)．At first the flow rate increases as the density increases, since you simply get more stuff through in the same period of time.But if the density becomes too high，there’s a risk of jams, and the flow rate drops sharply.Treiber’s model of a marathon uses this same principle that the flow rate first increases and then decreases as the density of runners increases, thanks to an sudden switch from free to crowded flow. He assumes that there is a range of different preferred speeds for different runners, which each maintains throughout the race.With just these factors, Treiber can calculate the flow rate of runners, knowing the “carrying capacity”(承载能力) at each point on the route.This allows Treiber to figure out how blocking might depend on the race conditions—for example, for different starting procedures.Some marathons start by letting all the runners set off at once (which means those at the back have to wait until those in front have moved forward)．Others assign runners to various groups according to ability, and let them start in a series of waves.Treiber has applied the model to the annual Rennsteig halfmarathon in central Germany，which attracts around 6，000 participants.The traditional route had to be changed in 2013，because the police were no longer willing to close a road to ensure that runners could cross safely.It could pass either over a 60m wooden bridge or through a tunnel.Treiber used his model to predict the likely blocking caused in the various options.The model predicted that a mass start would risk an overload of runners if the bridge were to be used.Only by moving the starting point further back from the bridge could the danger be avoided—and even then, if some of the numbers assumed in the model were only slightly inaccurate, there was still a risk of jams at the bridge.On the other hand, no dangerous blocking seemed likely for the tunnel route.The run organizers consulted Treiber’s team, and eventually chose this option.1．What is the worst thing while running a marathon?A．The long distance.B．Too many participants.C．The dangerous blocking.D．Serious injuries in forearms.2．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．James Lighthill is the first expert trying to model traffic flow.B．The denser the flow is, the faster the flow rate becomes.C．The flow rate increases in the beginning because fewer people passed together.D．The flow rate increases first and then decreases later when the flow is too denser.3．What is NOT true about the Rennsteig?A．It has much less participants than the London Marathon in 2014.B．It has a shorter distance than the London Marathon.C．The route was changed because the traditional one is not safe any longer.D．The participants running this marathon will pass a tunnel because this choice is safer.4．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Make a comparison between marathon and road traffic.B．Running a marathon is somewhat dangerous if it is not well organized.C．Introduce a new technology to solve the blocking problem in marathon.D．Some advice for people who are to run a marathon.Ⅱ.任务型阅读A．Get started!B．Forget your failures.C．Find and use your positive voice.D．Think about how far you have come.E．Spend time with people who inspire you.F．Accept failure as a positive learning experience.Realizing your dreams is not a matter of possibility; it’s a matter of motivating yourself to focus on the right things.You know you should be doing something, but sometimes you just don’t feel like doing anything.This discouraging situation can last a long time if you don’t head it off and take action.Here are some daily motivation tricks that might work for you.1．________This is by far the most important tip in this article, because in the end, all of the other tips in the world won’t make as much of a difference as this simple and timeless instruction：Sit down and get a move on! Do you feel the push-back of laziness? Reading more about motivation won’t help. Reviewing your to-do lists won’t help. Only doing actually helps get everything going. So stop thinking about how hard the task is going to be or how long it’s going to take you.Not starting is failing.Tell yourself, “As soon as I get going, I’ll feel more motivated.”And you’ll realize it’s not nearly as hard as you thought it would be.2．________Be aware of your selftalk and stay confident.You have the choice to replace negative self-talk with a more encouraging and friendly voice.A voice that will consider your aim as not just a possibility, but a probability; A voice that does not look at the possibility of success before taking action, but rather uses selfbelief as its driving force; A voice that all things are possible to those who commit to their dream.Tell yourself over and over again that you can do it. See what effect it has. Persist with this kind of possibility and eventually you’ll feel better about whatever it is you want to get done, and you’ll even start to fool yourself into believing it’s true.3．________There is no better way to recharge yourself for improvement than spending time with someone who motivates you.They are smart and can always encourage you to be better.Study their qualities.Study their habits.Surround yourself with them, talk to them, learn from them; they are already living and producing results at a level you admire and expect pare stories, successes and failures.Let their inner light guide you.4．________You have made so much progress, you just don’t realize it.Open your eyes and give yourself credit for all that you have done.Think about it.Write down your past successes.Consider using a journal to keep track of them.You’ll probably be pleasantly surprised when you review your results.It’s a great motivator to see how much you have improved and how far you have come.Be happy with your progress and move on.5．________Do not judge unsuccessful attempts and mistakes as an indication of your future potential, but as part of the growth process.Something does not have to end well for it to have been one of the most valuable experiences of a lifetime.When times get tough, take a deep breath, and know that most great things come when you least expect it.Being defeated is a temporary condition; giving up is what makes it permanent.And most people that gave up didn’t realize how close they were to success.Push through!Ⅲ.书面表达假定你是李华，将于2016年7月从新华外语学校毕业。

第二组(建议用时：25分钟)阅读理解AAndy is the most unreasonable, pigheaded life form in the world, and he makes me so angry that I could scream! Of course, I love him like a brother. I have to because he is my brother. More than that, he is my twin!That’s right. Andy and Amy (that’s me) have the same curly hair and dark eyes and equally stubborn characters. Yet, though we may look alike, on most issues we usually take completely opposite positions. If I say day, you can count on Andy to say night.Just this week, the hot topic in school was all about the PTA’S proposal (提议) to adopt a school dress principle. Every student would be required to wear a uniform. Uniforms! Can you imagine? Oh, they would be uniforms in color. The dress style would be sort of loose and free.Boys would wear white or blue buttondown shirts, a school tie, blue or gray pants, and a navy blue blazer (运动夹克). Girls would wear white or blue blouses or sweaters, blue or gray pants or skirts, along with a navy blue blazer.Socks or tights could be black, gray, blue, or white. The teachers are divided: Some are in favor of the uniforms, others are opposed. The headmaster has asked the students to express their opinions by voting on the issue before making their decisions. She will have the final word on the dress principle.I think a dress principle is a good idea. The reason is simple. School is tough enough without worrying about looking cool every single day. The fact is, the less I have to decide first thing in the morning, the better. I c an’t tell you how many mornings I look into my closet and just stare, unable to decide what to wear. Of course, there are other mornings when my room looks like a storm had hit it, with bits and pieces of a dozen different possible clothes on the bed and on the floor.I also wouldn’t mind not having to see guys wearing oversized jeans and shirts. And I certainly would welcome not seeing kids showing off designerlabeled clothes.Andy is surprised at my opinion. He says he can’t believe that I would be willing to give up my allAmerican teenage birthright by dressing like—well, like a typical teenager. Last night, he even dragged out Mom and Dad’s high school photo albums. What a couple of peaceloving hippies (嬉皮士) they were！“Bruce Springsteen never wore a s chool uniform. Bob Dylan wouldn’t have been caught dead in a school uniform！If I have to wear a uniform, I won’t feel like me！” he declared.To which I replied, “So your personal heroes didn’t wear school uniforms. Big deal! They went to high school about a million years ago! I feel sorry for you, brother dear. I had no idea that you are so fragile that you would be completely destroyed by gray or blue pants, a white or blue shirt, a tie, and a blazer.”That really made him angry. Then he said, “You’re just mimicking (模仿) what you hear that new music teacher saying！”“That is so not true. I’m saying exactly what I think，” I said, raising my voice in what mom would call “a very rude manner.”“You have always been stupid, and you know it！” he shouted.“Is that so? Anyone who doesn’t agree with you is automatically stupid. And that’s the stupidest thing of all！” I said.Fortunately, the bell rang before we could do each other physical harm, and wewent thankfully to our separate classes.The vote for or against uniforms took place later that day. The results of the vote and the headmaster’s decision will be announced next week. I wonder what it will be. I know how I voted, and I’m pretty sure I know how Andy voted.How would you vote — for or against?1．Amy and Andy quarrel because ________．A．they share a cupboardB．Amy likes to show offC．they both have the word for dress principleD．they always take the opposite views on issues2．The story is about ________．A．a conflict of opinions between boys and girlsB．a historical event and is told in the third personC．a personal experience and is told in the first personD．a school policy decision that will affect parents and students3．Amy’s position on school uniforms is most likely based on ________．A．logical conclusions drawn from her own observation and personal experience B．an emotional reaction to what she has been told by people in authority C．her preference for designerlabeled clothesD．not liking anything her brother likes4．Which of the following is the best statement of Andy’s position?A．School clothing should reflect parents’ values.B．Teenagers should never follow the latest fashions in dress.C．How one dresses should be an expression of one’s individuality.D．Wearing school uniforms means one less decision every morning.5．Which of these statements from the story is a form of an emotional appeal?A．The teachers are divided: some are in favor of uniforms; others are opposed.B．You are so fragile that you would be completely destroyed by gray or blue pants.C．The results of the vote and the headmaster’s decision will be announced next week.D．The hot topic in school was all about the PTA’s proposal to adopt a school dress principle.6．What is the best title for the passage?A．A School Dress PrincipleB．My Stubborn Twin BrotherC．Endless Fights with My BrotherD．For or Against? — That Is the QuestionBTeachers and parents usually call attention to the pictures when they read storybooks to preschool children. But a new study suggests that calling attention to the words and letters on the page may lead to better readers.The twoyear study compared children who were read to this way in class with children who were not. Those whose teachers most often discussed the print showed clearly higher skills in reading, spelling and understanding. These results were found one year and even two years later.Shayne Piasta, an assistant professor of teaching and learning at Ohio State University, was an author of the study. She says most preschool teachers would find this method manageable and would need only a small change in the way they teach. They already read storybooks in class. The only difference would be increased attention to the printed text.Ms. Piasta says if you get children to pay attention to letters and words, it makes sense that they will do better at word recognition and spelling. But she says research suggests that very few parents and teachers do this in a systematic way.The report appears in the journal Child Development.More than three hundred children aged four and five were observed in classrooms in Ohio and Virginia. The children came from poor families and were below average in their language skills. This put them at risk of reading problems later.For thirty weeks, the children took part in a program called Project STAR, for Sit Toget her And Read. The project is based in Ohio State. It tests the shortterm and longterm results of reading regularly to preschool children in their classrooms.Laura Justice in Ohio State was an investigator for the study. She heads the Preschool Language and Literacy Laboratory. She says one of the areas that interests researchers is known as the “locus of learning”．“Where is it that a child learns something? Where is that space? We think we have identified it pretty well in terms of fostering (助长) some children’s knowledge about print.” says Laura Justice. She also says this knowledge can be gained by having focused discussions when reading a book to a child. Laura Justice says, “We think we understand how information about print is transmitted from the adult to the child. And we think we have centered on this intervention that really helps adults center on the things that children need and want to learn.”There are different ways that teachers and parents can talk to children about print. They can point to a letter and discuss it, and even trace the shape with a finger. They can point out a word, “This is ‘dog’．” They can discuss the meaning of the print or how the words tell the story. And they can talk about the organization of the print —for instance, showing how words are written left to right in English.7．When reading storybooks to their children, parents usually ________．A．attract attention to the picturesB．discuss the stories with each otherC．tell some background information firstD．ask some questions about the stories8．Shayne Piasta suggests that preschool teachers should ________．A．read storybooks regularly in classB．learn to manage their class wellC．often discuss the printed words and lettersD．search for a better method of reading9．The children who joined in Project STAR were ________.A．mostly cleverer than othersB．very poor in their readingC．especially good at language skillsD．worried about reading problems10．The underlined word “locus” in Paragraph 8 can be replaced by ________．A．difficulty B．importanceC．best way D．exact place11．The last paragraph mainly tells us ________．A．why we should discuss the meaning of the printB．how we can teach children about printC．the shape of the letter is the focus of teachingD．English words are usually written from left to right阅读理解A1．解析：选D。

Why do so many people share even the minutest details of their daily activities? In this article, we will try to understand the motivating factors for people to share information online.1．________Often, we verbally share information with our friends in the office or at home. Our intention behind sharing information is to educate，entertain, or pleasantly surprise our friends. This is true while sharing information online as well. If you look at the Facebook wall posts of your friends, you will realize that most of their status updates are usually famous quotes, entertaining videos, inspirational images, funny jokes, etc..As The New York Times study found out, 94% of the respondents said they put in a lot of thoughts on how the content they are sharing will be beneficial to others.2．________The information that they share reflects the type of personality they have, and the things they care about. Also, many people who are not comfortable talking about their areas of interest in the presence of others, find it convenient to share the information online with likeminded to The New York Times study, 68% of the respondents said that they shared to make people know more: about them and the things they are concerned about.3．________78% of the respondents in The New York Times study said they are so busy that they do not have the time to meet each other in person. The Internet has been used as a great alternative to meet friends and improve the relationship between friends. A lot of people now “meet” each other online, rather than in traditional places like restaurants and pubs.4．________Sharing information that people think will make a difference to the viewpoint of others who are a part of the World Wide Web, or add to theirperception (理解) of things, is one of the basic motivations why people engage in online sharing. Also, the fact that people are appreciated for their efforts encourages them to share information online frequently. In The New York Times study, 69% of the respondents said that they shared because it made them feel that they were more involved with the world.5．________The Internet is a great medium to share information quickly and get the word out, and this is one of the primary reasons why people use it to spread information about certain causes and brands. 84% of the respondents said that they shared to lend their support to causes that they care about.As we can see, a majority of users make good use of the Internet to engage with people, and get a sense of fulfillment.Ⅲ.书面表达近年来，人们对中国传统节日的关注程度日益下降，而洋节日却越来越受到人们的追捧。

第二十九组(建议用时：25分钟)阅读理解AHe was in the first third grade class I taught at Saint Mary’s School in Morris, Minn.All 34 of my students were dear to me, but Mark Eklund was one in a million.Very neat in appearance, he had that happytobealive attitude that made even his occasional misconduct delightful.Mark often talked constantly. I had to remind him again and again that talking without permission was not acceptable.What impressed me so much, though, was his sincere response every time I had to cor rect him for misbehaving.“Thank you for correcting me, Sister！” I didn’t know what to make of it at first, but before long I became accustomed to hearing it many times a day.One morning my patience was growing thin when Mark talked once too often, and th en I made a new teacher’s mistake.I looked at him and said，“If you say one more word, I am going to tape(用胶带封上) your mouth shut！”It wasn’t ten seconds later when Chuck, another student, blurted out, “Mark is talking again.” I hadn’t asked any of the students to help me watch Mark, but since I had stated the punishment in front of the class, I had to act on it.I remember the scene as if it had occurred this morning. I walked to my desk, very deliberately opened my drawer and took out a roll of masking tape.Without saying a word, I proceeded to Mark’s desk, tore off two pieces of tape and made a big X with them over his mouth.I then returned to the front of the room.As I glanced at Mark to see how he was doing, he winked at me.When I walked back to Ma rk’s d esk and removed the tape, his first words were, “Thank you for correcting me, Sister.”One Friday, I asked the students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.Then I told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.It took the remainder of the class period to finish the assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed me the paper.That Saturday, I wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and I listed what everyone else had said about that individual.On Monday I gave each student his or her list.Before long, the entire class was smiling.“Really？” I heard the whispers.“I never knew that meant anyt hing to anyone！”“I didn’t know others liked me so much！”Then Mark said, “Thank you for teaching me, Sister.”No one ever mentioned those pieces of paper in class again.I never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents.Several years later, after I returned from vacation, my parents met me at the airport.Mother gave Dad a sideways glance and simply said，“Dad？” My father cleared his throat as he usually did before saying something important.“The Eklunds called last night，” he bega n.“Reall y？”I said.“I haven’t heard from them in years.I wonder how Mark is.”Dad responded quietly.“Mark was killed in the Vietnam War，” he said.“The funeral(葬礼) is tomorrow, and his parents would like it if you could attend.”I had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. Mark looked so handsome, so mature.After the funeral, Mark’s mother and father found me.“We want to show you something，”his father said.“They found this on Mark when he was killed.We thoughtyou might recognize it.” Opening a billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times.I knew without looking that the pieces of paper were the ones on which I had listed all the good things that Mark’s classmates had said about him.“Thank you so much for doing that，” Mark’s mother said.“As you can see, Mark behaved better and better at school.It’s all because of you and your list.”Mark’s classmates started to gather around us.Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said，“I still have my list.It’s in the top drawer of my desk at home.” Chuck’s wife said, “Chuck asked me to put this in our wedding album.”“I have mine too，”Marilyn said.“It’s in my diary.” Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her w allet and showed her worn list to the group.“I carry this with me at all times，” Vicki said without batting an eyelash.“I think we all saved our lists.”That’s when I finally sat down and cried.1．The purpose of Paragraph 1 is to ________．A．introduce the topic of the storyB．inform readers of the writer’s jobC．introduce the main character of the storyD．make a comparison between the writer’s students2．Which of the following aspects of Mark impressed the writer most?A．His bravery shown in the Vietnam War.B．His constant talking without permission.C．His neat appearance and easy going manner.D．His sincere response after his bad behavior was corrected.3．Mother’s giving Dad a sideways glance and father’s clearing his throat show that ________．A．they felt it hard to tell the writer about Mark’s deathB．they were not sure whether the writer would attend Mark’s funeralC．they were afraid that the writer woul dn’t believe the news of Mark’s death D．they felt it necessary to persuade the writer into comforting Mark’s parents 4．Which can be seen as the climax (the most important point) of the story?A．Students’ being asked to list each ot her’s strongest point on the paper.B．The writer’s making a big X with two pieces of tape over Mark’s mouth.C．The writer’s being shown the worn pieces of paper kept in Mark’s wallet.D．Students’ smiling and whispering when they received the lists on Monday.5．At the end of the story, the writer sat down and cried, realizing that ________．A．Mark behaved so well that he gained the respect of his classmatesB．the lists made as a task in class should have meant so much to her students C．Mark’s death in the Vietnam War was a heavy blow to his familyD．Mark’s classmates kept their lists as a sweet memory of their happy school life6．What is the message conveyed in the story?A．Attitude means everything.B．Praise works wonders in a way.C．Patience is necessary for a teacher.D．Friendship between classmates is unforgettable.BFive or six years ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention.A professor who conducted research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else.Because we can’t see what wecan’t see, our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act.He had us watch avideo of six people tossing (投掷) basketballs back and forth, three in white shirtsand three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the peoplein white.The tape rolled, and everyone began counting.Everyone except me.I’m dyslexic (患阅读困难症的), and the moment I saw thattape with the confusing basketball tossers, I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep trackof their movements, so I let my mind wander.I became curious, though, when about30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla (大猩猩) walked in among the players.She (welater learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) stared at the camera, beather chest with her fist, and then went away while they continued passing the balls.When the tape stopped, the professor asked how many people had counted at leasta dozen basketball tosses in all.Hands went up all over.He then asked who had counted13, 14, and congratulated those who had scored the perfect 15.Then he asked, “Andwho saw the gorilla？”I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my tableand one of only three or four in the large room to do so.He had set us up, trappingus in our own attention blindness.Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasn’t theone who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managedto miss the gorilla in the midst.Attention blindness is the fundamental organizing principle of the brain, andI believe that it presents us with a great opportunity.My take is different fromthat of many neuroscientists: where they see the shortcomings of the individual,I sense an opportunity for cooperation.Fortunately, given the interactive natureof most of our lives in the digital age, we have the tools to control our differentforms of attention and take advantage of them.It’s not easy to admit that everything we’ve learned about how to pay attentionmeans that we’ve been missing everything else.It’s not easy for us logical, intelligent, confident types to admit that the very key to our success —our abilityto discover a problem and solve it, an achievement obtained in all those years inschool and beyond — may be exactly what limits us.No one ever told us that our wayof seeing left out everything else.7．Which of the following is TRUE about the writer when the tape was played?A．Like everyone else, the writer was counting carefully.B．The writer had difficulty keeping track of the tossers’ movements.C．The writer showed great curiosity about what the players were doing.D．The writer tried hard to stop her mind from wandering.8．What’s the total number of basketball tosses by the player in white shirtsin the video?A．13. B．14.C．15. D．30.9．Most of the people failed to notice the gorilla in the video because ________．A．they focused on the basketball tossing onlyB．they were trapped by the basketball playersC．they did not know what they were supposed to doD．they did not listen to the lecture carefully10．The underlined word “take”in Paragraph 5 most probably means “________ ”．A．understanding B．impressionC．scene D．preference11．In the writer’s opinion, attention blindness ________．A．should be viewed as a shortcoming of the individualB．might be overcome if we can discover problems and solve themC．makes it possible for us to work together for a shared purposeD．helps us to become logical, intelligent and confident types of people阅读理解A1．解析：选C。

第二十六组(建议用时：25分钟)阅读理解A(2015·高考浙江卷)In 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.From 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 me 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 homeoffice 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—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 hereandnow of an exercise that has never once ended in victory，she reminds me，too，that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future，there’s almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.1．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

story that tells about this common and natural human sentiment．The busiest woman in Labrador during one bitter cold Christmas not very long ago, was an Australian nurse by the name of Kate Austen. But Nurse Austen was not too busy to acknowledge with a long, friendly letter every gift of food or clothing received for distribution to the natives in that cold and poor district of the north.Among the gifts was a box of knittings for children, knitted(编织) and sent by a woman in Toronto.Nurse Austen was busy, exhausted and not feeling too well that winter.She could have written just ordinary routine notes of acknowledgement.But_that_was_not_her_way．She sat down and wrote the woman in Toronto a real letter telling all about the village, and the names of the children who were wearing the knitted gloves and caps, and what they said when they got them，and how they looked when they wore them.She wanted the woman who had knitted andsent all those lovely knittings “to see how much happiness and warmth she had created”．Not long after，she received the following answer from Canada.Dear Miss Austen：Your letter made me happy.I did not expect such a full return.I am eighty years old, and I am blind.There is little I can do except knit, and that is why I knit so many caps and sweaters and scarves.Of course I cannot write this, so my daughter inlaw is doing it for me.She also sewed the seams and made the buttonholes for the knitted things.I know something of the work you are doing.At the age of nineteen I married a man who was going to China to be a missionary(传教士)．For forty years, with an occasional year at home in America, we worked in China, and during that time our two sons and a daughter were born to us, of whom only one son survives.After forty years, my husband’s health began to fail.We returned to the States where he took charge of a settlement house in Brooklyn, New York.A surprising number of the problems we faced there were similar to the problems we had met in China.When my husband died, I came to Toronto to live with my son and daughterinlaw.They are very good to me, and I pride myself that I am little trouble to them, though it is hard for a blind old lady to be sure of anything.What I most want to say，my dear, is this.For sixty years I have been making up missionary packages of such clothing or food or medicine or books as I could collect.In various parts of the world and to various parts of the world I have sent them.Sometimes I have received a printed note of acknowledgement from the headquarters depot or mission board, sometimes nothing.Occasionally I have been informed that my contribution was planned for Syria or Armenia or the upper Yangtze.But never before in all that time have I had a personal letter picturing the village and telling me who is wearing the clothing and what they said.I did not suppose that ever in my lifetime I should receive a letter like that.May God bless you.Sincerely yours，Laura N. Russell7．The underlined word “sentiment”(in Paragraph 1) most probably means“ ________ ”．A．view point B．gentle feelingC．way of thinking D．expression of attitude8．The underlined sentence “But that was not her way” (in Paragraph 3) implies that ________．A．she would not just write an ordinary letter of thanksB．she was too busy to write a note of acknowledgementC．she was not busy, exhausted or feeling too well that timeD．she wrote a letter telling all about the village and the children9．Why was Laura so happy when she received the letter from Miss Austen?

第二十组(建议用时：25分钟)阅读理解AThe event that stands out in my memory happened one morning in 1983 when I was 14 years old.I was at home with my mother, getting ready for the afternoon session of school.I was doing my homework when I heard raised voices.At first I thought nothing of it—customers in the motorcycle shop directly below us often became unruly and loud, but I soon realized this was different.“Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop，” someone yelled.Then a thick burning smell filled the air.When I opened the front door of our flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke, billowing up from the ground floor, greeted me.The motorcycle shop had caught fire.My mum, who had been working in the kitchen, hurried to the living room.We rushed out of the door and along the corridor through the smoke.We were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Mum stopped in her tracks.She turned around and headed back the way we came.I had no idea what she was doing, but I followed suit.Mum had suddenly remembered the Korean lady in her 70s who lived next door to us, who we called Makcik.Mum began banging on Makcik’s door, but to no avail.As the smoke thickened around us, I could see many of our neighbors—some still in their pyjamas—running for safety.“She would have run for safety like everyone else！” I cried.Mum refused to give up.“I know Makcik’s still inside，” she said as she pounded the door. “Go downstairs，shaji.Go now！”However, frozen with fear, I stood rooted to the spot.By then, both of us were coughing and our eyes were stinging.Time seemed to stand still, though we were probably there for only two or three minutes.Just as I was beginning to suffocate(窒息), the door opened.Makcik stood there, totally confused.Mum was right—she had been unaware of what was happening.Grabbing her hand, Mum led Makcik downstairs and outside to a safe spot where people had gathered to witness the fire.The firemen had just arrived and set about fighting the blaze, which was reaching up to the two floors above the motorcycle shop.Comprehending the gravity of the situation, Makcik broke down.Holding my mother’s hands tightly, and with tears flowing down her cheeks, she spoke to Mum.I could not hear what she said, but there was no mistaking her gratitude.I learned later that Makcik was sleeping when the fire broke out.I dread to think what would have happened if Mum had not turned back for her.Soon the firemen put out the billowing flames.There were no deaths or injuries, though the motorcycle shop was completely destroyed.Although the fire had damaged our corridor badly, it was put out before it could spread into our flat.Our home had been saved, though everything was covered in soot(黑灰) and an awful smell hung in the air.And, sadly, my pet lovebirds were dead.I felt terrible for not saving them in my haste.However, the thought of Mum’s courageous act in saving a human life brought great relief.Years later, I asked Mum about this incident.She said she was familiar withMakcik’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping.When I asked if she was scared, Mum replied：“When a loved one is in danger, the thought of fear never crosses th e mind.”During my school days, whenever I wrote an essay about courageous deeds, I always focused on soldiers risking their lives to save others.It never occurred to me to write about my mum who had, in her determined way, saved our elderly neighbor.Today I know better.Maria Thomas, a timid and modest lady, someone who would not be mistaken for a superhero, had turned out to be my real hero.1．It can be inferred from the passage that ________．A．firefighters broke in and saved Makcik from the fireB．Makcik ran for safety like everyone else after the fire broke outC．Makcik survived the fire owing to my mum’s timely rescueD．people headed back to Makcik’s flat at the request of my mother2．Receiving no response from Makcik, Mum still refused to leave because ________．A．she didn’t realize that the fire was quickly surrounding herB．she was sure that Makcik must be sleeping at that timeC．she was convinced that Makcik must be too scared to moveD．she was informed that Makcik was in desperate need of help3．What made Makcik break down after she reached a safe spot?A．The big fire was spreading rapidly.B．People’s terrible screams shocked her.C．Mum’s sudden appearance moved her deeply.D．The serious situation made her confused.4．Which of the following best explains the sentence “When a loved one is in danger, the thought of fear never crosses the mind.”？A．Love makes all hard hearts gentle.B．Love warms more than a thousand fires.C．Love is never paid but with true love.D．Love fears no danger.5．The writer mentions the soldiers and Mum in the last paragraph to ________．A．highlight Mum’s courage and determination by making comparisonsB．show respect for firemen’s courageous deeds by providing explanations C．convey Mum’s influence on my attitude to danger by offering analyses D．emphasize the neighbor’s gratitude to Mum by giving examples6．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．My Neighbor：A Narrow EscapeB．The Firefighting：A Thrilling StoryC．My Mother：The superheroD．The Fire：An Unforgettable ExperienceBMost parents of kids under age 8 don’t worry about how much time they spend watching TV or using other media, from computers to smart phones to tablets PCs, according to a new survey that found a child’s use of media often reflects how much time parents spend in the similar way.“We generally found that media us e is not a source of conflict in the home” for families with young children, Ellen Wartella, a researcher from Northwestern University，told USA Today.She led a survey of 2，326 parents who have children aged 8 and younger.It found that in 80 percent of families, children’s media use was not a problem, with 55 percent “not too” or “not at all” concerned about it.It also showed parents have more positive than negative feelings about how mediaconsumption affects a child’s learning and the development of creativity.The exception is video games, which are viewed more negatively than TV, computers or mobile devices.“Parents rated video games as more likely to have a negative effect on children’s school performance，attention time, creativity, social skills, behavior and sleep than any other medium，” the researchers said in a news conference about the survey.“The findings exposes a generational shift (转移) in parental attitudes about technology’s role in young children’s lives, ”said Wartella.“Today’s parents grew up with technology as a central part of their lives, so they think about it differently than earlier generations of parents，instead of a battle with kids on one side and parents on the other, the use of media and technology has become a family affair.”The researchers identified three media environments created by parents：mediacentric (39 percent of families), mediamoderate (45%)and medialight (16%). Children in mediacentric families spend at least thr ee hours more each day watching TV or using computers，video games and tablet PCs don’t make parenting easier.And 88 percent of parents say they are most likely to turn to toys or activities to keep their children occupied.Slightly fewer turn to books (79%) and TV(78%)．The survey didn’t look at how media affects children.That’s a topic that the American Academy of Pediatrics has handled a number of times.The AAP says studies have found too much media use can lead to attention problems, school difficulties, sleep and eating disorders and being fat.In addition, the Internet and cell phones can provide platforms for illegal and risky behaviors.“By limiting screen time and offering educational media and nonelectronic formats (格式)such as books, newspapers and board games, and watching television with their children, parents can help guide their children’s media experience.Putting questionable content into context and teaching kids about advertising contributes to their media literacy (素养), ”it says.The pediatricians’ group says parents should have “screenfree zones” and TV should be turned off during dinner.At most, it recommends children and teens engage with entertainment media for no more than two hours a day and that should be highquality content.It is important for kids to spend time on outdoor play, reading, hobbies and using their imaginations in free play.“Kids under 2 should not use television and other entertainment media because their brains are developing quickly and they learn best from direct human interaction，” the group says.An article on screen time by the Mayo Clinic also notes problems linked to over screen time，including being fat, irregular sleep, behavioral problems, weak school performance, violence and less time for active and creative play.7．Parents have more negative than positive feelings about media consumption like ________．A．computers B．smart phonesC．video games D．tablets PCs8．Most parents don’t worry about kid’s media use because ________．A．they can limit the screen timeB．they want their children happyC．they also grew up with technologyD．they can teach their children themselves9．From the data of the survey, we learn ________．A．children in mediacentric families are smarter than othersB．children in medialight families spend one hour watching TVC．more than half of the parents think children’s media use was a problem D．mediacentric children spend more than three hours each day on media use 10．To make parenting easier, most parents probably________.A．try to persuade their children to read booksB．ask their children questions while watching TVC．allow their children watching TV or using computersD．turn to toys or activities to keep their children occupied11．Which of the following is a suggestion by the researchers?A．Media use time for babies under 2 should be limited.B．Entertainment media use should be highquality content.C．Schools should provide more time for active and creative play.D．Home media use should provide platforms for illegal and risky behaviors.阅读理解A1．解析：选C。

第三组(建议用时：45分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解Strange Wedding Traditions around the WorldFlinging raw rice and breaking a glass underfoot may seem like strange ways to celebrate a marriage, at l east if you’re not used to American customs. Strange as some U．S. wedding traditions may be, they certainly cannot take the (wedding) cake for overall wedding weirdness.Those honors go to these 5 strange wedding traditions around the globe.Blackening of the Bride and Groom (Scottish)For Scotland’s tradition of blackening of the bride, which has expanded to now include the groom, absolutely anything goes. This includes tars, feathers, pillow stuffing, dirt, rotting food, sour milk, flour—you name it and you get it, you can certainly pile it on.The blackening takes place prior to the wedding, which at least spares the tux (无尾礼服) and the wedding dress, but any time or location is fair game.Once blackened, the lucky newlywedtobe is paraded through the streets or tied to a tree as said “friends” announce the wedding.Blackening suppose dly prepares the person for any humiliation (羞耻) that life has yet to bring, as nothing could be as humiliating as being blackened.Breaking Dishes (German)Throwing plates is typically something you do after you’ve been married a few years, unless you’re from Germany.The wonderful tradition of breaking dishes actually takes place prior to the wedding at the rehearsal dinner.Tradition says the more dishes you break, the more good luck the new bride will receive.This counts double if she’s lucky enough to get a brand new set of china as a wedding gift.After this part, the bride and groom join forces to sweep up the mess, a gesture that ensures nothing will ever get broken in their home again.Keep Your Feet on the Floor (Irish)Irish legend has it that the bride must keep her feet on the floor while she’s dancing with the groom to ensure little fairies attracted by her beauty won’t kidnap her.The quick and clever fairies are always eager to get their hands on beautiful things, and legend says the bride has long been a prime target. Irish legends throughout the ages full of tales of fairies stealing brides, although it’s not clear where the brides end up and if the destination is better than where she planned to spend her honeymoon.Passing a Rolling Pin(擀面杖)(Polish)How many Polish people does it take to pass a rolling pin? It depends on how many people are at the Polish wedding! The tradition is pretty much what it sounds like，as people stand in a circle and pass a rolling pin from one person to the next，but there’s a rule—no hands are allowed，and each person must grad and then pass the pin along using only their legs.While it is not immediately evident what the tradition means or why people do it，it is evident it would be great video to capture for future generations to enjoy.No Bathroom Breaks for Three Days(Tidong tribe，Northern Borneo)Can your bladder (膀胱)really explode? Folks who follow a marriage tradition in Northern Borneo put this question to the test.Newlyweds in the Tidong tribe must stay in their home for three days—without a single bathroom break.That means no No.1, no No.2 during this threeday period. The background of this tradition is extremely unclear... as is the feeling people probably get after not relievingthemselves for half a week.1．Why is it before the wedding that Scottish people blacken newlyweds?A．They are occupied during the wedding.B．They don’t want to look ugly in the wedding.C．They don’t want to blacken their wedding dresses.D．They need to spare time to clean their blackened faces.2．Which of the following wedding traditions has an origin from local tales?A．Blackening of the Bride and Groom.B．Keep Your Feet on the Floor.C．Passing a Rolling Pin.D．No Bathroom Breaks for Three Days.3．Which of the following wedding traditions is supposed to occur at the wedding ceremony?A．Blackening of the Bride and Groom.B．Breaking Dishes.C．Passing a Rolling Pin.D．No Bathroom Breaks for Three Days.4．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．The blackened Scottish couple are not allowed to be exposed to others except friends.B．The Germans even break a set of delicate china which is a wedding gift.C．Fairies in Irish legend will kill the bride if her feet are not kept on the floor.D．Newlyweds in Tidong tribe follow “No Bathroom Breaks for Three Days”to test their bladder.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(2015·浙江杭州第一次高考质检)A．Delaying your responsibilities.B．Neglecting sleep.C．Communicating with the person next to you.D．Performing your duty.E．Making thoughtless decisions.F．Reflecting over every detail.What We Should Avoid When We’re StressedIt’s safe to say we’re a little less than logical when and that puts us at risk to make some mistakes. The next your worries spiking, pay attention to these five behaviors.1．________It may seem helpful to let it out—and for the most part it can be cathartic(精神集中发泄的)—but mind the longexisting problem. Studies show that stress is an infectious emotion, and soon your stress has beco me someone else’s, too. A hateful anxiety cycle isn’t good for anyone. Instead, try hanging out with your best friend while doing a few activities you enjoy. One 2011 study showed that quality time with your best friend forever can help ease your worries.2．________Ever heard the phrase “Don’t go to bed when you’re angry”？ Well, here’s another one to file in your rulebook: Don’t make a big decision when you’re stressed. Researchers from Harvard monitored a group of students and found that students who reported high levels of stress were worse at making good longterm choices because their minds were absorbed. In other words, that important decision about a job or that choice to make a down payment on a house should probably wait until you’re a little more relaxed.3．________We’ve all been there. We get overcome and de cide the best way todeal with our todo list is to just ignore it. That delay habit we create when we’re stressed may feel good at the time—but it’s certainly not helping later on. Instead of putting off something entirely, try breaking up your tasks into pieces. Research suggests we work best in 90minute intervals (间隔). Dedicate yourself to your work during those intervals—then give yourself a rest by taking a look at those puppy videos.4．________It can feel natural to think about every single hiccup (打嗝)when something goes wrong, but that nonstop overthinking could be harming our health. According to a 2013 study published in the journal PLOS ONE, those who reflect over negative thoughts and emotions are more at risk of depression and anxiety. The study also suggests that our psychological response to the negative occurrence seems to have more of an impact than the actual event itself. If you find yourself worrying about every detail, try a few mindfulness to get you back to the present moment. Let those thoughts float away.5．________Stress can ruin your sleep routine, and the worst thing you can do is to just give into the stress. Watching a TV show until the early hours may seem like the only way to get your mind off things, but research shows your burning screen could be messing with your sleep even more. If you’re stressed and struggling to sleep, try smelling some lavender(薰衣草) or even a warm bath.

第三十组(建议用时：45分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解What is funny? The short answer is：who knows? The joke that causes a burst of laughter from one listener might be met with a puzzled look from another.In general, you should avoid jokes at any business or social gathering where there are more than two people in your conversation group.If there are only two people —and they consist of you and your best friend—go ahead and tell it.Admittedly, a few people possess a perfect sense of timing，appropriateness, and joke delivery. You are probably not one of them.You might be quite funny and have many great jokes.But there’s a place for jokes — over dinner with family or hiking with friends, but business or social affairs with colleagues and acquaintances (熟人) are not it.It takes a whole other level of joketelling ability to put a joke into the more formal conversations.The best jokes come into the conversation so that by the time listeners realize a joke is in progress, the punchline that produces humour is being delivered — to their surprise and delight.Jokes don’t translate well when you’re in a group with mixed backgrounds：those whose first language is not English, those who might not understand a special term or an “in” expression, young people who wouldn’t catch a reference to some bit of culture familiar to older people—and vice versa (反之亦然)．Never joke about another person in the group—about their name，habits, hometown, profession, appearance, or past.It’s not a question of whether the joke is cheery or appropriate.No one enjoys being singled out this way.When you are the subject of the joke, the laughter doesn’t feel good no matter how hard you try to tell yourself they’re not laughing at you.Because that’s what it feels like.What do you say if you realize your joke upsets someone？Apologize briefly and as sincerely as you can, and hope that someone changes the subject.Try saying：“I’m sorry.I should have known better.” or “I’m sorry.I wasn’t thinking.”What do you do if people don’t get your joke or don’t appear to find it as funny as you do? First, do not retell it, only louder this time, hoping the point of the joke will be seen.Second, don’t try to push people to get it.People do not like people whose jokes they don’t understand.They feel stupid and need to blame someone.If you want to leave with the goodwill of your listeners, say something to make them feel less foolish.You could say：“I don’t know why I tell jokes when I’m so poor at it.”The world needs laughter, and good humour is a success wherever it goes, so this caveat (告诫)about joke telling is not meant to dampen high spirits or to advocate dull conversation.If you’re a gifted story teller and you know people love your jokes, go for it.We need your kind.The rest of us will save our jokes for family and close friends.1．According to the passage, it might be appropriate for you to tell a joke at a business or social gathering if ________.A．the joke is well chosenB．you have complete confidence in your listeners’ sense of humorC．only you and your best friend are involved in the conversationD．the audience consists of your colleagues and acquaintances2．Why do some jokes fail to work?A．Because the punchline is too long to catch.B．Because the joketeller uses wrong words and expressions.C．Because the joketeller and listeners don’t share the same background knowledge.D．Because the jokes are not properly translated into the listeners’ native language.3．When people do not understand a joke they hear, they tend to ________．A．believe it’s the joketeller’s faultB．get someone to retell the jokeC．ask for explanationD．say something foolish4．Which of the following best describes the writer’s opinion on joketelling?A．Nobody knows what makes a joke funny.B．We should not tell jokes unless we are asked to do so.C．Joketelling is a very complex thing.D．Jokes should be told only to friends and family members.Ⅱ.任务型阅读A．Study your industry.B．Avoid common mistakes.C．Don’t overwork yourself.D．Get to know your boss better.E．Improve your communication skills.F．Always come to the table with a solution.With a new year approaching, many people have an “out with the old and in withthe new” mentality—and work is usually a big part of that.If you’re feeling thatway, here are several tips that can help you become better at your job in 2014.1．________One of the most common mistakes made by both managers and, employees today, isthat too often, both are afraid to come to the table and talk about essential issues.Taylor says, “Fear of conflict is so overwhelming(无法抵抗的)，but if you communicate bravely, more frequently, and honestly in 2014, and you’re not afraidto work through conflict, you’ll likely reduce your stress and be a better worker.”Too much time is spent reflecting on misunderstood employee communications, which,if left unaddressed, eventually leads to conflict.2．________“Your boss controls your destiny(命运)so it’s in your best interest to get toknow them better both personally and professionally，” says Andy Teach, author ofFrom Graduation to Corporation：The Practical Guide to Climbing the Corporate LadderOne Rung at a Time.“It doesn’t mean you need to be friend s with them or hang outwith them, but you do need to learn what makes them tick.The more you communicatewith your boss, the better it is for you.”3．________“Share ideas with context and a clear path for implementation(执行)for theleader to evaluate.The more you present any issues with recommended solutions andthen implement those solutions in a timely and effective manner, the more the leadership team will rely on you and think about you for future projects and new responsibilities，” Meador says.4．________If you’re already an overachiever, have been called a “workaholic”，or are generally exhausted，then you need to slow down and break the habit of setting impossible goals for yourself in the New Year.You may have to readjust and expect,say 75% of your workload to beachieved in a set period in order to feel fulfilled.If you’re a manager, this approach may take some of unnecessary pressure off staff, too.5．________“Your industry is changing all the time and you need to keep up with what’s happening now，” Teach says.Most industries have trade magazines or websites that have the latest news in that industry.It’s important to read these so that you are well informed and can discuss recent industry events and changes with your coworkers, supervisors，and rmation is power.Ⅲ.书面表达你们学校将于2016年10月1日举行建校100周年校庆活动。

small，can sometimes cause a big fire，which puts many people in great danger.Some may even die from the fire.
I hope you will give up smoking after learning about these risks and stay healthy.
