I quickly became depressed and angry at myself for not being about to do better in school, in addition to lack of friends due to poor social and munication skills.This went on for months until my 19th birthday. My parents sent me a cake, which was a great cake. But I remember having this large cake and absolutely no one to share it with.I ended throwing out the cake after having one piece, with about 90 % of it left over . That night I was depressed that I decided to go outside to the freezing temperature of the winter and run. I put my earphones in, went outside and ran about 2 miles at 11 p.m. on my birthday.When I got back inside I was content. I was proud of what I was able to do. The next night did the same. I wasn't quick or fit but you know that I went outside and did something. The continued for about 2 months until I finally worked up the courage to go to the gym, where I started swimming again as I used to in high school. A month went by and I started lifting weights and continually running.Looking back I can see that exercise helped cure my depression but it didn't only do that. At the gym I met new friends and back at my dorm I grew confidence to go to the end of the hall seeing people playing Super Smash Brothers and ask if I could join.So go forward to present now. I exercise every day and look forward to that hour and a half I get daily to do what I love with people who love it as well. I hope this helps someone who may be or have been in a similar situation.14. What made the author decide to run at night?A. His l9 tbirthday.B. His parents' cake.C. His loneliness.D. His friends.15.

But how did the holiday e to be? Did it originate out of a sweet, sincere wish at heart ... or was it all a giant marketing plan to sell more goods?It is, in fact, the former. When Marian McQuade first thought of the idea for the holiday, mercialism (商业主义) was the last thing on her mind. In 1956, McQuade was trying to plana celebration for the elderly members of her munity. She made the sad discovery that many of the senior citizens in the nursing home didn’t often receive visits from their families. So she set a day to appreciate grandparents.In any case, McQuade never wanted the holiday to be a money grab. Mother’s Day actually has a similar story; in fact, its founder wanted it discontinued in the 1920s after she saw how mercialized it had bee. However, it didn’t stop card panies from getting excited about the future of a new holiday. Hallmark predicted that, by 1983, Grandparents Day would bee the sixth highest card-selling holiday. But to their disappointment, it never became a mercial holiday.Many families have much more meaningful ways of celebrating the holiday. Danielle Kirsch celeb rates by trying a new activity every year with her grandmother Elsie. “This year, we’ll be painting together,” she tells RD.. Molly Arnold’s grandmother is no longer around, yet she still finds a way to honor the holiday. Arnold is the Chief Operations Officer of the Frank and Barbara Broyles Foundation, a charity she created in memory of her grandmother, Barbara Broyles, who passed away from Alzheimer’s disease.However, just because the holiday is not about mercialism doesn’t mean you can’t exchange gifts. Spruce.actually suggests that grandparents give their grandchildren gifts, especially gifts that “honor family traditions”.18. Why did McQuade found Grandparents Day?A. To grow her own business.B. To realize her parents’ dream.C. To remember her own grandparents.D. To call on people to care for the elderly.19. What does the underlined part “a money grab” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. A way to make big money.B. A celebration of one’s wealth.C. A chance to give others money.D. A deal between family members.20. Hallmark thought Grandparents Day _____.A. wouldn’t grow popular among young peopleB. would bee a mercial holidayC. would turn into a global holidayD. wouldn’t last long21.

The future of the holiday.DScientists in Australia recently got a chance to walk in the footsteps of dinosaurs. In March, they announc ed that they’d identified thousands of dinosaur tracks along a 15-mile stretch of Australia’s northwest coast. One of the footprints is the largest dinosaur footprint ever recorded.The footprint is about 5 feet 9 inches long —large enough for most people to lie inside it. The print was likely left behind about 130 million years ago by a type of dinosaur called a sauropod. These long-necked herbivores(食草动物) were the largest known dinosaurs, with the biggest ones measuring about 130 feet long.That giant foo tprint wasn’t the only amazing discovery in the area. In total, the scientists identified the footprints of 21 different dinosaur species. That includes the first evidence of a stegosaur—a type of dinosaur with spiky(尖的)plates along its back—in Australia. It’s the most diverse group of dinosaur prints ever found in one place. “It really is a snapshot(快照)of life during the age of the dinosaurs in this particular area,” says Steve Salisbury,a dinosaur expert in Australia.The dinosaurs originally left their footprints in sand. Over time, these prints were filled with other types of sand and small stones. The tracks eventually hardened into rock. To figure out which types of dinosaurs had left them, scientists studied the size of the footprints and the patterns in which the patterns they were made.The scientists worked with a group of Aborigines (Australian natives). The Aborigines had known about the tracks for years, but they didn’t share their secret with the paleontologists until xx. The scientists and the Aborigines created a digital map of the area and made molds(模子)of some of the tracks. These can later be used to make replicas(复制品) of the footprints for museums.Officials plan to open parts of the area to the public to give visitors a chance to walk amon g the dinosaur prints too. “With tracks, you really feel like you’re seeing where one of these fantastic animals actually was millions of years ago,” says Salisbury.22. What can we learn about the huge footprint found in Australia?A. It came from a 130-foot-long dinosaur.B. It was first found by the Aborigines in xx.C. It is evidence of stegosaurs that once lived there.D. It probably belongs to one of the largest known dinosaurs.23.What’s Salisbury’s attitude towards the discoveries in Australia?A. Relieved.B. Excited.C. Confused.D. Disappointed.24.Why did the scientists work with the Aborigines?A.To have a better understanding of their history.B. To map out the future of dinosaur research.C. To learn about the tracks left by dinosaurs.D. To study the dinosaur prints in museums.25. What would be the best title for the text?A. Aborigines’ secretB.Prints from the pastC. Walking with dinosaursD.Back to the age of dinosaurs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。

The earliest Mother's Day celebrations date back to ancient Greece in honour of Rhea, the Mother of Gods.During the 1600s,England celebrated a day called "mothering Sunday". Celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent(四旬斋),"mothering Sunday" honoured the mothers England.During the time many of the England's poor worked as servants for the wealthy.AS most jobs were located far from their homes, the servants would live at the houses of their employers. On Mothering Sunday, the servants would have the day off and were encouraged to return home and spend the day with their mothers. A special cake,called the mothering cake, was often brought along.As Christianity(基督教) spread throughout Europe, the celebration changed to honour the "Mother Church"---the spiritual power that gave them life and protected them from harm.Over time the church festival bined with mothering Sunday celebration. People began honouring their mothers as well as the church.In the United States Mother's Day was first suggested in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe as a day devoted to peace. Then in 1907Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign(运动) to establish a national Mother's Day. Ms Jarvis persuaded her mother's church in Grafton, Virginia to celebrate Mother's Day on the second anniversary of her mother's death, the 2nd day Sunday of May.By the next year Mother's Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia.Ms Jarvis and her supporters began to write to ministers, businessmen, and politicians demanding to establish a national Mother's Day. It was successful as by 1911 Mother's Day was celebrated in almost every state. President Woodrow Wilson,in 1914, made the official announcement that Mother's Day was a national holiday and it was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day at different times throughout the year, there are some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy,Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mother's Day on the 2nd Sunday of May.21.What is the author's purpose in writing the first paragraph? ______A. To raise questions.B. To introduce the topic.C. To interestreaders. D. To solve problems.22.The earliest Mother's Day was celebrated to ______ .A. mark the birth of GreeceB. prepare forthe autumn harvestC. honour the Mother of GodsD. honour themothers of England23.The fourth and fifth paragraphs mainly talk about ______ .A. the feast of Mother's Day in the U.S.B. the origin ofMother's Day in the U.S.C. the development of Mother's Day in the U.S.D. thecelebration of Mother's Day in the U.S.24The passage is intended to ______ .A. give readers some informationB. persuadereadersC. report a storyD. amuse readersBArtificial Intelligence (AI) is making it possible for panies to monitor workers’ behavior in great detail and in real time. Start to slack off (懈怠), and AI could talk to your boss.One pany offering such services is London-based start-up Status Today. Its AI platform relies on a regular supply of employee data, including everything from the files you access to when you use a key card. From this, it builds a picture of how employees normally function and signals any unusual performance. The idea is to spot when someone might bee a security risk by doing something different from their usual behavioral patterns. “All of this gives us fingerprint of a user, so if we think the fingerprint doesn’t match, we raise a warning”, says Mircea Dumitrescu, the pany’s chief technology officer.The system also aims to catch employee actions that could accidentally cause a security breach (漏洞), like opening malware (恶意软件).“We’re not monitoring if your puter has a virus.” says Dumitrescu. “We’re monitoring human behaviors.”But catching the security breach means monitoring everyone, and the AI can also be used to track employee productivity. “It seems like they are just using the reputation of AI to give an air of lawfulness to old-fashioned workplace surveillance (监视),” says Javier Ruiz Diaz of digital campaigning organization the Open Rights Group. “You have a right to privacy and you shouldn’t be expected to give that up at work.”Exactly how panies use the system will be u p to them, but it’s hard to shake the picture of an AI constantly looking over employees’ shoulders. “It will bother people, and that could be counterproductive if it affects their behavior,” says Paul Bemal at the University of East Anglia.Phil Legg at the University of the West of England says it will never catch every security risk. “If people know they’re being monitored, they can change theirbehavior,” he says.25.According to the text, AI monitors employees by ________.A. taking pictures of themB. getting accessto their dataC. signaling their usual performanceD. catching theiractions26.What’s Javier Ruiz Diaz’s attitude towards the system?A. Doubtful.B. Supportive.C. Uncaring.D. N27.What does the underlined word “that” in paragrap h 4 refer to?A. Security breach.B. Employees’productivity.C. The right to privacy.D. Workplacesurveillance.28.Phil Legg’s concern about the system suggests that ________.A. it is too risky to be used at workB. it will affectemployees’ emotionsC. it may not be so effective as expectedD. it willencourage employee, productivityCDear Alcohol,You’ve been around forever. I can remember all the pain you’ve caused me.Do you remember the night when you almost took my father’s life? I do. He lovesy ou. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He’s addicted to you,to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them.Youjust sat back and laughed as his car went turning through the street,crashing intotwo other car s. He wasn’t the only one badly hurt by you that night.Do you remember the night of my first high school party? My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again,drinking all of you that they could.I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen head over heels for you. “I’m so embarrassed,” they said as I held their hair back so that they could throw up. “I’m sorry,” they said when I called taxis for them,walking them out and paying the driver i n advance. “This won’t happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped.Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night due to you.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lesson? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car head-on and killed two people in the other car? He died the next morning, too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson,and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn’t realize her brother was among them at all. She never saw him again. And it was all your fault.I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t wa nt anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is not excusable. Stop attracting the people I love! Stop hurting me, please!Sincerely,Me29.What did Alcohol do to the author’s father that night?A. It made him drunk and took his life away.B. It made him kill two other people when he was driving.C.

"I thought,this kid has nothing," says Susan.The image stayed with her, and she considered doing something to help. "I decidedI would use my talents to throw birthday parties for homeless kids," says Susan. Forthe next four years, Susan and her husband, Stephen, took time out from parenthoodto visit shelters to determine how best to pull off the parties.Finally, Susan launched the Birthday Party Project, a nonprofit organization,and called on friends and family to help decorate Dallas's Family Gateway Shelterwith balloons and colorful strips, celebrating the birthdays of 11 boys andgirls. 60 more homeless kids attended the celebration."The first party was better than I could have ever imagined," says Susan. Now Susanand her staff of three paid employees work with regional volunteers, also called"birthday enthusiasts(爱好者)", to plan monthly themed parties at 15shelters acrossthe country. Some of the shelters house abused or abandoned kids. Each childcelebrating a birthday that month gets a $30gift, a decorative place mat, and anindividual cake or cupcake.One of Susan's favorite parts of each party is when the kids make a wish and blow out the candles. "They rarely get a chance to dream big," says Susan. Her daughter,Lily, now seven, often helps out at the parties. Susan says, "The one thing I've always wanted is for my kid to be generous."33.What is Susan's profession? ______A. She runs a pany of her own.B. She works as aphilanthropist(慈善家).C.

(36) When we don't give our bodies enough water, our organs cannot work properly. We are also easier to catch a disease. When we are sick, drinking plenty of water should be one of the first things we do. (37)Is your body asking for more water?If you experience headaches, sleepiness, allergies or dizziness (头昏眼花),your body might be telling you to drink more water. (38)Even problems such as nervousness or forgetfulness can be caused by lack of water. In addition, the medicines that treat these illnesses can sometimes dry out your body further. The more water you are lacking in, the worse your health will be-no matter how much medicine you take.(39)How much water is enough for you?Most experts suggest drinking at least 8-ounce glasses of water every day. However,if you weigh more than 128 pounds, you need even more water. Drink an extra glass of water for every 15 pounds of body weight.Drink more water in the hot summer months and when you exercise to replenish (补充) the water loss through sweating. Caffeine makes your body lose water very quickly. So drink extra water if you drink beverages such as coffee, tea and soda.Helpful tipsTry these tips to help yourself drink more water.●Don't wait until you are thirsty to drink. (40)●Plan to have enough water.●Carry a bottle of pure water with you wherever you go.●Don't hesitate by frequent trips to the toilet.Drinking plenty of water can take as much time as you need and prevent serious illness in the future. So pour yourself a glass of water and drink up!A. Drink water occasionally.B. All kinds of drink will contribute to your health.C. If you're thirsty, you're already lack of water.D. Instead, we usually depend on drugs to make us well.E. Lack of water may be the real reason for your sickness.F. Therefore, it is important to listen to your body when it asks for a drink! G. With this in mind, it's no surprise that drinking enough water is crucial for good health.四、完形填空(本大题共20小题,共30.0分)Many years ago at Christmas time, I parked my car in the town centre on my way tothe post office to post my Christmas cards.It was the last posting day for Christmascards if they were to be (41) before Christmas.(42) I came outof the car park, I saw a boy who was (43) and holding his fight handside.I (44) some bigger boys had perhaps bullied him and he wasin (45) .I had to go to his aid and see if I could (46) .He told me that his sister who was a (47) had bought him a Christmaspresent.It was a mobile phone.He only had it days when he (48) it andcracked the screen!

AA couple from Miami, Bill and Simone Butler, spent sixty-six days in a life raft (救生艇)in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their boat, in Simony, they met some whales (鲸).“ They started to hit the side of the boat,” said Bill,“ and then suddenly we heard water. ” Two minutes later, the boat was sinking. They jumped into the life raft and watched the boat go under the water.For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water—two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw(生的).Then the line broke. “So we had no more fish until somethi ng very strange happened. Some sharks(鲨鱼) came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands.”About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them.

Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took the time to ask me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to admit the fact to her. After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball.I also learned from Steve that personal property is a sacred thing. After I founda shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to so meone else the small dog my father carved from a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and still remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on my shoulder.Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?”I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should ever think of hurting a living thing is if it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.24. What is the main subject of the passage?A.

Not the disease itself —there is no such thing as a high incidence rates of cancer. Except for lung cancer, mostly caused by cigarette smoking, the incidence rates are not on the rise. However, some kinds of cancer are decreasing. But the fear of cancer is catching, and the country stands at risk of an anxiety. The earth itself is coming to seem like a huge carcinogen(致癌物). The ordinary, more or less, scientific statement that something between 80 and 90 percent of all cancers are due to things in the environment is taken to mean that none of us will be safe until the whole environment is “cleaned up.” This is not at all the meaning.The 80-percent calculation is based on the unthinkable differences in the incidence of cancer in various societies around the world — for example, the highincidence of liver cancer in Africa and the Far East, stomach cancer in Japan, breast cancer in Western Europe and North America, and the relatively low figures for breast cancer in Japan and parts of Africa and for liver cancer in America. These data show there may be specific environmental influences, but largely based on personallife-style, which determines the incidence of various forms of cancer in different communities —that is all the data suggest. The overall incidence of cancer, counting up all the cases, is probable roughly the same everywhere.28.
