She was happy that her daughter could experience something she never did as a teen but was fearful of letting her travel to such a remote part of the world.Alexia was 16 at the time, a student at Westwood High School. The school sponsored a humanitarian trip for 26 students and two teachers to spend 18 days living in a mountain village to build a one-room school. Even though Armato trusted her daughter, the other students and the teachers, she was worried about the side effects from the travel vaccines, possible accidents, and medical care.Now that Alexia was home, Armato said she saw her daughter‟s new maturity, greater confidence and independence. “This is the best thing I ever did,” Alexia said. “The experience was so eye-opening and life-changing. You‟re with people who are not as lucky as you are. They live in very poor conditions but they‟re so happy and outgoing. You say, …My God. I‟m taking everything for granted back home.‟”She said they built a one-room school from scratch with no mechanical cement mixers. They used their hands, shovels and basic tools. She and another student lived with a local family in a small village about eight hours outside the capital, Quito. Despite the initial strangeness and knowing only basic Spanish, she said they grew very close and felt like a family.Every year, groups of students at Montreal High School like Alexia pack their bags and fly off with classmates and teachers to developing countries where they volunteer for a variety of projects.“Armato‟s worries are very common among parents,”says Bill Nevin, a teacher at St. George‟s High School. He organizes a humanitarian rip to India to the Sheela Bal Bhavan orphanage and says the three biggest fears families have are health, security and contact.21. When hearing the news that her daughter would go on a school trip to Ecuador, Armato was _______.A. proud and happyB. supportive but concernedC. fearful and nervousD. excited but puzzled22.

When parents learn that their child has hearing loss, they are faced with many difficult decisions. These decisions can include choosing therapies and schools, as well as finding financial help for hearing aids or cochlear implants (人工耳蜗).Help Me Hear Foundation is a public charity that gives the gift of hearing to deaf children from families existing on very low incomes around the world. The foundation offers life-changing services for impoverished families, and provides real help for children with hearing impairment who may otherwise be left behind in schools or society due to their lack of hearing.Help Me Hear Foundation believes that a child‟s first years of development are critical. Being able to hear is vital to human, and Help Me Hear Foundation seeks to provide a positive lasting impression on society through its programs. Help Me Hear Foundation has many goals, including relieving the burden on communities with hearing-impaired infants and children, and strengthening the social structure of families and neighborhoods.Recipients of Help Me Hear Foundation‟s benefits receive state-of-the-art hearing devices that otherwise would cost thousands of dollars per child over the course of their lifetime. The Foundation raises money through donations for hearing aids and cochlear implants, which saves recipients and their families on average over $50,000 on related expenses.The Foundation tries to be a transparent charity, and wants to be a catalyst for allowing deaf and hearing-impaired children to develop in a typical fashion alongside their peers.Needy families can obtain information on specific services, and find out about deafness education by visiting the Help Me Hear Foundation‟s website.

Let‟s face it. Thinking our life is good enough doesn‟t come naturally to many people. When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment. Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction. Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.Focus on what you are thankful for. Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have. Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be. Focus on what you are thankful for. Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our well-being. Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back frommoving forward in a more positive manner. What happened in the past is done and gone, so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment.When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life we are likely to be less satisfied. Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position. Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you. Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you. Stay present and focus on the task you‟re undertaking at the moment. D on‟t let the life pass you by because you‟re always on the go and distracted by ambition.Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment and it will become more natural.32. How can we live with contentment?A. To change our lifestyle.B. To have a motivation in life.C. To give less attention to what we are grateful for.D. To realize the difference between needs and desires.33. What‟s the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Make wise decisions.B. Know the present situationC. Let go of regrets.D. Remember the past.34. The underlined word “elide”(in Paragraph 5) probably means “__”.A. enjoyB. changeC. createD. neglect35. What should you do to put yourself in a good mood?A. Make time for simple pleasures.B. Learn from successful people.C. Focus on your future goals.D. Create chance to learn more.第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Mary is digging in the ground for a photo, when along comes John. Seeing that there is no one in sight, John starts to scream. John‟s angry mother rushes over and drives Mary away. Once his mum has gone, John helps himself to Mary‟s potato.We‟ve all experienced similar annoying tricks when we were young—the brother who stole your ball and then got you into trouble by telling your parents you had hit him. But Mary and John are not humans. They‟re African baboons(狒狒). ___36___John‟s scream and his mother‟s attack on Mary could have been a matter of chance, but John was later seen playing the same tricks on others. ___37___Studying behavior like this is complicated but scientists discovered apes(猿) clearly showed that they intended to cheat and knew when they themselves had been cheated. ___38___ An ape was annoying him, so he tricked her into going away by pretending he had seen something interesting. When she found nothing, she “walked back, hit me over the head with her hand and ignored me for the rest of the day.”Another way to decide whether an animal‟s behavior is deliberate is to look for actions that are not normal for that animal. A zoo worker describes how an ape dealt with an enemy. “He slowly stole up behind the other ape, walking on tiptoe. When he got close to his enemy, he pushed him violently in the back, then ran indoors.” Wild apes do not normally walk on tiptoe.____39___ But looking at the many cases of deliberate trickery in apes, it is impossible to explain them all as simple copying.It seems that trickery does play an important part in ape societies. ____40___ Studying the intelligence of our closest relative could be the way to understand the development of human intelligence.A. In most cases the animal probably doesn‟t know it is cheating.B. An amusing example of this comes from a psychologist working in Tanzania.C. And playing tricks is as much a part of monkey behavior as it is of human behavior.D. So the psychologists asked his colleagues if they had noticed this kind of trickery.E. The ability of animals to cheat may be a better measure of their intelligence than their useof toolsF. This use of a third individual to achieve a goal is only one of the many tricks commonlyused by baboons.G. Of course it‟s possible that it could have learnt from humans that such behavior works,without understanding why.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）quickly turned into an entire cart load of stuff.
