When I was a boy, our extended immigrant family would sometimes gather at m y aunt’s tiny house over the summer. Relatives from all over the country would come in to visit. The adults would crowd together in the living room to talk and catch up on each other’s lives. And the kids would be sent out into the front yard to play when dinner was slowly cooked for all of us.
Those were the days before video games, smart phones, and motorized toys, so we often ended up playing an old game. I remember one of those moments especially. As I was the youngest and smallest of all the kids there, I got caught first and couldn’t catch anyone else. My brothers and cousins were all too fast for me, and I grew more and more frustrated.
I finally fell my face first into the dirt. I got up with tears forming in my eyes. Then I saw one of my female cousins Susan standing there. She started to run but was going much slower than before. I easily caught up and seized her. Then she turned to me, smiled, and said, I’m it! You’d better run! Iran off laughing with glee while she turned and started to chase others.
Now I see how her act of kindness that day saved me from sadness and returned me to joy. It didn’t matter that we hardly ever saw each other. I know we are family and she
loves me.
In her wonderful book Box of Butterflies, Roma Downey writes, “We are a ll one, we all belong to each other, and we are one big, beautiful family.” Perhaps it is time that we all started to treat each other that way. Perhaps it is time that we shared our love, our kindness, our laughter, and our joy with everyone without fear. Perhaps it is time to finally and forever bring this world together in one big family reunion.

C
Please take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. Imagine telling someone you meet today what you’re going to do. Imagine their congr atulations and their high image of you. Doesn’t it feel good to say it out loud? Don’t you feel one step closer already? Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.
Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you’d actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and he acknowledges(认可) it, psychologists have found it’s called a “social reality”. The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it’s already done. And then, because you’ve felt that satisfaction, you’re less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary. This goes against the traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right?
In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a Professor of Psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he did some new tests that were published. It goes like this: 163 people across four separate tests—everyone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment(许诺) to this goal to the room, and half didn’t. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Now those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.
28. What do the words “social reality” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Completion of the goal.
B. Necessary hard work.
C. People’s acknowledgement.
D. A sense of satisfaction.
29. What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us?
A. Writing down the goal is very helpful.
B. Achieving personal goal needs more time.
C. Keeping the goal secret makes people work harder.
D. Making the goal public makes people less satisfied.
30. How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about peo ple’s goal?
A. By giving figures.
B. By giving examples.
C. By making a survey.
D. By making comparison tests.
31. What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal?
A. You will be more confident.
B. You will not gain satisfaction.
C. You are less likely to realize it.
D. You’ll be much more motivated.
D
Compared with solar and wind energy, which are booming, tidal(潮汐的) power is a loser in the clean-energy competition. But if you did want to build a tidal power station, there are few better sites than the mouth of the River Severn, in Britain. Its tidal range, the difference in depth between high and low tides, of around 15 metres is among the largest in the world.
Engineers and governments have been toying with the idea since at least 1925. But none of the suggested projects has materialised. Price is one objection. A study thought that
tidal energy might cost between ￡216 and ￡368($306-521) per MWh of electricity by 2025, compared with ￡58-75 for seagoing wind turbines(轮机) and ￡55-76 for solar panels. Environmentalists also worry that any plant would change the tides, making life harder for wildlife.
An engineer called Rod Rainey thinks he has a way around both problems. He plans to replace the conventional turbines of previous plans with a much older technology. Specifically, he plans to span(横跨) the river mouth with a line of water wheels. This is a design that dates back to the early days of the Industrial Revolution. Examples can be found fixed to the sides of old watermills(水磨).
But there would be nothing old-fashioned about Mr Rainey’s wheels. Thirty metres high and sixty wide, they would be made from ordinary steel. Two hundred and fifty of them, along with the supporting structures, would be floated into place and secured to the seabed, creating a line 15km long. Together, they could supply power at an average rate of 4GW. That is about as much as two biggish nuclear power stations would manage. Substituting one of the wheels with a set of locks would provide a shipping channel about twice the width of Panama Canal, permitting upstream ports such as Avonmouth and Cardiff to continue operating.
32. What is special about the mouth of the River Seven?
A. The tidal range there is about 15 meters.
B. It has the largest tidal range in the world.
C. The tidal power station has been built there.
D. Its power plant makes life harder for wildlife.
33. What was people’s initial attitude towards tidal power?
A. Opposed.
B. Supportive.
C. Controversial.
D. Doubtful.
34. What are the locks used for?
A. Support.
B. Transportation.
C. Securing wheels.
D. Producing electricity.
35. What’s the best tittle for the text?
A. Rainey invented turbines.
B. Rainey’s tidal power station.
C. Tidal power in the River Seven.
D. An old idea might be made practical. 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。

We know that choosing a college major can be very hard. But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. Here’s what you need to know about college majors before you commit.
What is a major?
36 Beyond general college requirements, you’ll also take a group of courses in
a subject of your choosing such as Chemistry, Literature, or Political Science.
How important is my major?
The major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Many graduates find jobs that have nothing to do with what they studied in college. If you intend to earn a professional degree after college, you will probably need certain courses. 37
When do I declare a major?
This varies widely across schools and programs. 38 Others require that you declare upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.
39
Definitely. One of the most exciting aspects of college life is that it introduces you to new subjects and arouses new passions. However, keep this in mind. Every major has necessary coursework. If you change your major late in the game, it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree.
What are minors and double majors?
If one field of study doesn’t satisfy your intellectual appetite, consider a minor.
A minor is similar to a major in that it’s an area of academic concentration. 40 A double major provides you with an understanding of two academic fields. It allows you to become familiar with two sets of values and views while it also requires you to fulfill two sets of requirements.
A. Can I change my mind?
B. Is my major time-consuming?
C. It’s your specialized area of study in college.
D. Most students find one major is more than enough.
E. Some schools may give you one year or more to decide.
F. But many future doctors major in non-science related fields.
G. The only difference is that it doesn’t require as many classes.

From the age of five, I was constantly surrounded by fear. It started when I was sent to boarding school.

Instead, they made me do the ‘walk of 43 ’, carrying a packet of wet sheets through all the 44 as they announced, ‘Make way for the bed-wetter,’ and 45 the children to laugh and shout horrible things. That happened
46 .
I grew into a problem 47 and spent much time in bars drinking to forget the hopelessness and 48 . That’s where I met my first husband, who turned out to be a 49 man. It was only when he 50 me into a state of unconsciousness that things changed.

That’s when I 57 I was a really good business person.

第二节语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Should naps(小睡) actually 61 (take) during the day? Well, we certainly know from 62 (evident) in the sleep center and that of many other scientists that naps can give you benefits for both your brain 63 your body. But naps can actually be 64 double-edged sword because while we’re awake during the day, we’re building up sleepiness or sleep pressure. So when you try to fall asleep at night, you’ll fall asleep quickly and then you’ll stay asleep. And when we sleep, we actually release that sleepiness so that we wake up the next morning feeling 65 (refresh).
So if you take a nap during the day, especially if you take it too late in the afternoon, you will actually release some of that sleepiness and it will make it much 66 (hard) to fall asleep and stay asleep soundly throughout the night. So the advice would be if you don’t struggle with your sleep and you can nap 67 (regular), then naps are just fine.
But if you do find it difficult 68 (fall) asleep or stay asleep at night, then you should avoid naps and try to build up that healthy sleepiness in the evening.
The ideal nap depends on 69 you want from that nap. Different stages of sleep actually give you different types of brain and body 70 (benefit).

To support the activity name “Green Travel, Start with Me”, I talk to my parents about my ideas. They were very supportive, say they would not drive work from then on. In the following weeks, as they promised, I went to school by bike every day, while my parents went to work by bus. Though we were tired, but we all felt happily.
