FridayBThe BasketTwo things changed my life; my mother and a white, pretty bike basket. My mother is a strictparent and I had to earn my pocket money by doing housework around the house.One day, my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed-and there it was in the window; white, shiny, and decorated with beautiful flowers. It was so special and I knew I had to have the basket. "It's beautiful," my mother said when I pointed it out to her."Mom, please, can I get it? I'll do more housework for as long as you say, but I need that basket. I really love it...""You know," she said gently, "If you save up, you could buy this yourself.""By the time I make enough, it'll be gone!""I'll buy the basket for you, but you have to work for it," she said.My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some secret place I couldn't find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing income. And then, weeks later, I jumped for joy. Oh, happy day! I made it! I finally had the exact amount we'd agreed upon.Days later, the unthinkable thing happened. A neighbour girl appeared with the exact same basket on her shiny, new bike. The eight-year-old me cried and ran fast back home to tell my mother about this terrible news.And then came the lesson I've taken with me through my life; "Honey, it doesn't matter that the baskets look the same. Your basket is extra-special," Mom said, gently drying my hot tears. "Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself."24.

But it's not just your wonderful personality. Your body itself is an unusual machine.Lots of information has been written on the subject of "you". You might wonder about your body. Most people think that the big picture of how your body systems work together is important to understand. Sometimes the details interest us the most. Let's go on the way to get a haircut.Why don't haircuts hurt? Snip, snip—the scissors fly around your head. Your hair grows from living cells(细胞). But the hair that's cut is not alive. What's the story here?Each hair on your head grows from a root that is under your skin. The root produces hair cells a special tube called a follicle. When new hair cells are made at the root, they push older hair cells upthe follicle.As older hair cells move toward the surface of your skin, they change. They join together and harden. Then they die. The strand(股) of hair that comes out of your head does not have living cells in it. That's why a haircut follicle follicle doesn't hurt!You probably have about 100,000 hairs on your head right now. Hair strands grow all the time,then fall out and start to grow again. It usually does this in different stages. That's why you don't loseall of your hair at once.In fact, your hair is just a part of all those interesting things of your body. You might be wideeyed and staring at one of these creations. If you want to know more about them, keep reading.27. What do most people think is important to understand?A. How your body systems work together.B. Why you are an amazing and unusual person.C. What the information on the subject of you is.D. Where you can get a haircut without feeling hurt.28.

What will the writer probably talk about next?A. You will lose more hair than before as you grow older.B. Your body system can work really well for your needs.C. You like getting haircuts because they don't hurt so much.D. Your blood runs to each part of your body to keep you warm.DFollowing the crowd may not always be in a person's best interest. However, new study showsthat teens who go along with their friends may become healthier as adults. Scientists have known that close friendships help improve health. People who do their own thing may experience unpleasant feelings and get sick. Those findings inspired Joseph Allen, a scientist, to look at teen behavior. Allen's group noted that experiences during teen years might influence adult health.Scientists interviewed 171 teens every year for five years starting at the age of 13. These teens became the focal(中心的) teens in the study. The teens were asked about both positive and negative aspects of friendship. The scientists also spoke to their closest friends. They asked the friends how likely the focal person was to follow the crowd, go along with the friends or keep on doing his or herown thing.The same 171 people were interviewed again as adults, at ages 25, 26 and 27. This time, the questions surveyed each person's overall health. The scientists found a correlation between a teen's behavior and adult health. Firstly, teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults. Secondly, teens who held back their feelings were more likely to be sick as adults than those who shared feelings with a close friend. What's more, the study found that teens who went along with what their friends wanted, instead of being independent, also were healthier in their twenties.The correlation held up(依然成立) even after the scientists included other possible influences on health, such as weight, family income and drug use. Study showed that such other things did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did. For those who wonder whether they should follow the crowd or not, now they have a legitimate(合理的) reason to say yes!30. Scientists asked the focal teens .A. if they experienced unpleasant feelingsB. if they always agreed with their friendsC. about the things they kept on doing on their ownD. about the positive and negative aspects of friendship31. The underlined word "correlation " in the third paragraph probably means .A. differenceB. relationshipC. balanceD. choice32. What can we learn from the study?A. Being independent is better than working with friends.B. Many things can explain health as well as teen friendships.C. Expressing feelings to a close friend can be good for you.D. Teenagers shouldn't follow the crowd and say yes to others.33. What is the best title for the passage?A. Teens and GrowthB. Say Yes to TeensC. Friendship and HealthD. Get along with Friends四、短文7选5(5选5等)（共5小题；共10分）Ride the Escalators in the MallEscalators are a useful means of transportation. They take you up. They bring you down.

My love of flying has shaped the way I live and the person I have become. Two years ago, that passion rocketed to new heights when I had the opportunity to visit Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Arizona. For a whole week I lived in a college dorm, roomed with a total stranger and---best of all---I flew!My group took part in activities ranging from learning about the history of aviation (航空) to flying in state-of-the-art pilot training simulators (模拟装置). At least once a day, I devoted myself to learning one of the world‟s best training aircraft s, the Cessna 182. Not only did I receive thorough ground instruction, but I also got to fly. In total, I flew five hours to receive my private pilot‟s license. In that one joyous and oh-so-short week, my passion for aviation grew even stronger. Now, whenever I see a plane flying overhead, I feel a sense of pride thinking I‟ve done that.During my time in and above the Arizona desert, I learned not only about the mechanics and techniques of aviation, but also about myself and how I see the world. As I floated in that seemingly endless sea of air, I became aware of the variety and complexity of the humanity below. On the ribbons of roadways, each tiny car carried people with hopes and dreams. I wondered if any of those people had ever wished to fly like an eagle. Then I realized that each must have his or her own dreams and ambitions. That‟s what ma kes us unique. We try to respond to something special inside us. I also realized that I was especially fortunate to be making my own dream come true.Everywhere I go, I hear, “Do what makes you happy and you will be happy.” It sounds like standard advice, but I‟ve really thought about it and taken it to heart. I couldn‟t care less about how much money I make or what benefits I receive. I know that I am already in hot pursuit(追逐) of my dreams. And, even if they change, even if they finally don‟t involve avi ation, I‟ll always aim to fly with the eagles.( )56. Two years ago, the author ___________.A. was admitted to a universityB. stayed in a university for one weekC. saw the launch of the rocketD. made good friends with an astronaut( )57. Paragraph 2 is mainly about _________.A. which aircraft the author got to flyB. how the author learned to flyC. what the author learned about simulatorsD. why the author got a pilot‟s license( )58. According to the author, ________ makes people unique.A. flying like an eagleB. trying something specialC. having their own dreamsD. learning unusual techniques( )59. From the last paragraph, we can learn that the author _________.A. cares a lot about money and benefitsB. brings happiness to othersC. pursues his aims whatever happensD. offers advice wherever he goesBDo you know electricity can change the way we taste food? Proving this fact is arevolutionary electric fork designed by Japanese researchers that can make any dishtaste salty.According to Hiromi Nakamura, a Post Doc Research Fellow at Tokyo‟s Meiji University, the technology can be very useful for people on special diets. Patients withhigh blood pressure, for instance, can easily go on a low-salt diet and still enjoydelicious food. And with the fork, there‟s absolutely no risk of over-salting their food. Luckily, the voltage(电压) is so small that there is no risk of electrocution(触电) either.The idea of adding electricity to food was first exposed as an experiment at the Computer Human Interaction Conference in Austin, Texas, in 2012. Nakamura and her team connected a wire to a 9-volt battery and passed it through a straw placed in a cup of sweet lemonade. Volunteers reported that the charged lemonade tasted …blander‟, because the electricity created the taste of salt.Nakamura has improved the technology to be able to transfer an electric charge to food through forks and chopsticks. “The metallic part of the fork is one electrode（电极）, and the handle is the other,” Nakamura explained. “When you take a piece of food with the fork and put it in your mouth, you connect the circuit. When you remove the fork from your mouth, you disconnect the circuit. So it actually works as a switch.”Simon Klose, host of food program Munchies, who recently visited Nakamura to try out the fork himself, called this form of …food hacking‟ one of the greatest eating experiences he‟d ever had. “When I first heard of electric food, it sounded scary,” he said. He later continued to use a charged fork to eat pieces of fried chicken, and found that the saltiness considerably increased as the electricity was connected.Nakamura has been eating …electric‟ food for the past three to four years in an at tempt to understand it better. “For me, …food hacking‟ is about strengthening or weakening real food,” she said. “It may seem like we‟re cooking but we‟re actually working on the human senses.”( )60. The electric fork may benefit people who__________.A. need to go on a dietB. have high blood pressureC. prefer food free of saltD. show interest in tasty food( )61. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us _________.A. how the electric fork worksB. what makes the circuit connectedC. how the technology was improvedD. why the electric fork was invented( )62. From the passage, we learn that the electric fork______.A. creates virtual tasteB. changes people‟s dietsC. helps cure diseasesD. replaces salt in cookingCTea Vs CoffeeTea and coffee are two of the most widely consumed drinks in the United States. With popularity and interest in tea continuing to grow in recent years, many consumers have recently considered making the switch from coffee to tea, if they have not done so already. All the buzz surrounding tea and coffee may have you wondering, what are the differences? As it turns out, the differences are many and varied.In the US, interest in tea ranges from coast to coast with the highest in Hawaii and California but stretching to the eastern states of Vermont and New York. On the other hand, the highest interest in coffee tends to be concentrated more in the north and western regions(地区), with the highest search volumes appearing in the states of Hawaii, Washington and Minnesota.Differences between tea and coffee also vary in origin and production. All tea comes from the harvested leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, while there are about 60 different species of coffee plants. Production of tea is quicker and more efficient: Camellia sinensis plants only need to grow for three years before they are ready to process; coffee plants take up to five years.Perhaps the most concerning issue consumers have when considering making the switch to tea is the question of caffeine. The good news is, when it comes to tea and caffeine, there is something for everyone. Unlike coffee, which typically only comes in decaffeinated and regular, there are several varieties of tea available, based oncaffeine preference.From herbal teas that are naturally free of caffeine, to high quality green and black teas that offer less than half the caffeine of coffee, to high caffeine teas such as our specially formulated HiCAF® blends that contain slightly more caffeine than a cup of coffee, there is a variety sure to suit your needs. As an added bonus, the lower acidity levels in tea tend to be gentler on the stomach for a more comforting pick-me-up.So what is the answer, coffee or tea? If you are looking for the most healthful benefit possible, tea is probably the winner. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If, like many Americans, the rising popularity in tea has your interest piqued, the images below will help to clearly spell out the differences between tea and coffee. ( )63. It can be learned from the passage that ______.A. coffee is of much higher production than teaB. tea and coffee are from harvested leaves of plantsC. the popularity of tea is growing constantly in the USD. there is no regional difference in drinking tea and coffee( )64. According to the passage, which of the following contains the least caffeine?A. Green tea.B. Black tea.C. Herbal tea.D. HiCAF® blends.( )65. What is the author‟s attitude to wards tea?A. Positive.B. Cautious.C. Skeptical.D. Negative.( )66. The underlined word “piqued” in the last paragraph probably means.A. reducedB. lostC. expressedD. excitedDBy now, we are all aware that social media has had a tremendous influence on our culture, in business, on the world-at-large. Social media websites revolutionized the way people communicate and socialize on the Web. However, aside from seeing your friends‟ new baby on Facebook, or reading about Justin Bieber‟s latest conflict with the law on Twitter, what are some of the real influences?Social networks offer the opportunity for people to re-connect with their old friends and acquaintances, make new friends, share ideas and pictures, and many other activities. Users can keep pace with the latest global and local developments, and participate in campaigns and activities of their choice. Professionals use social media sites like LinkedIn to enhance their career and business development. Students can work together with their peers to improve their academic and communication skills.Unfortunately, there are a few downsides too to social networking. If you are not careful, immoral people can target you for cyber bullying and disturbance on social sites. School children, young girls, and women can fall victim to online attacks which can create tension and suffering. If you are a victim of cyber bullying, do not take it lying down, but try to take appropriate legal action against the attacker.Many companies have blocked social networks as addicted employees can distract themselves on such sites, instead of focusing on work. In fact, studies show that British companies have lost billions of dollars per year in productivity because of social media addiction among employees.Also, what you carelessly post on the Net can come back to trouble you. Revealing(泄露) personal information on social sites can make users vulnerable(易受伤害的)to crimes like identity theft, stalking, etc. Many companies perform a background check on the Web before hiring an employee. If a potential employee has posted something embarrassing on social media, it can greatly affect their chances of getting the job. The same holds true for our relationships too, as our loved ones and friends may get to know if we post something undesirable on social networks.Social media has its advantages and drawbacks as each coin has two sides. It is up to each user to use social sites wisely to enhance their professional and social life, and exercise caution to ensure they do not fall victim to online dangers.( )67. Paragraph 2 mainly shows that social networks _________.A. benefit users in various waysB. offer professionals good chancesC. guide users to make right choicesD. help students finish their homework( )68. Faced with problems caused by social media, some companies ________.A. take legal action against the attackersB. avoid posting embarrassing informationC. refuse to hire potential addicted employeesD. forbid the use of social networks during work time ( )69. The main purpose of this passage is to _________.A. share experiences in using social mediaB. provide some advice on social problemsC. raise public awareness of social problemsD. remind people to wisely use social media( )70.

behind．（）A.butB.orC.soD.and【答案】B【解析】答案：B根据句意，"We need to master this technology immediately""我们必须掌握技术"可知，"or"意为"否则的话"符合题意．"but"表示转折，so意为因此，and并列连词．我们需要立即掌握这个技术，否则我们会落后．考查连词，考生需联系上下文做出判断．2.---Jack，you look so great！---Thanks!I have lost 20pounds since I ______ my personal trainer six months ago．（）A.hired B.have hired C.hire D.had hired【答案】A【解析】答案是A．考查动词的时态，由于这是一个由since引导的时间状语从句，故主句用一般过去时，从句用现在完成时．根据句意，可知答案选A…-Jack你真棒．-谢谢！自从六个月前我聘请了我的私人教练，我已经见到了20磅了．高考题目对时态的考查是重点，谓语动词要与时间状语保持一致，时态与时间是密不可分的，各种时态却要受到时间和语言环境的限制，根据题干提供的时间或者时间状语体现的时间来判断句子的时态是最直接的解题方法，扎实的语法功底加上准确的理解至关重要3.______ my father doesn't say a lot in daily life，he gives me much love and affection．（）A.BecauseB.WhenC.AlthoughD.If【答案】C【解析】答案C．because"因为"，引导原因状语从句．when"在…时候"，引导时间状语从句．although"尽管，虽然"，引导让步状语从句．if"如果"，引导条件状语从句．分析可知前后两句话之间是逻辑上的"让步"关系，再结合句子所表达的意思可知答案选C．虽然我的父亲在日常生活中言语不多，但他给了我很多的爱和关怀．本题考查从属连词的用法．连词的用法辨析，要注意分析主从句之间的逻辑关系，再确定相应的连词，同时注意不同的连词的语义及用法区别．4.Yesterday we went to the library to do some reading，only to find that it ______．（）A.had closedB.had been closedC.wil closeD.will be closed【答案】B【解析】答案：B．根据时间状语Yesterday可知，是指过去的事实，而图书馆关门应该是在我们去之前，所以为过去的过去，应该使用过去完成时，而it与close之间我逻辑上的动宾关系，需要使用被动语态；故选B．昨天，我们去图书馆读书，却发现图书馆早已经关门了．过去完成时态表示过去的过去，时间状语是过去的参照时间．和现在完成时态不同的是，现在完成时态的参照时间是现在．学习时，要注意区分．5.Helen ran out of the classroom in tears，but no one knew ______ she was so sad．（）A.whenB.whetherC.thatD.why【答案】D【解析】答案：D．根据no one knew 说明后面整句是宾语从句，结合句意，海伦流着泪冲出了教室，但没人知道她为什么如此地伤心．因此宾语从句she was so sad缺原因状语，故选D海伦流着泪冲出了教室，但没人知道她为什么如此地伤心．本题考查宾语从句的连接词，在充分分析句型基础上便能选出正确答案．6.The traffic in Beijing will be better when Subway Line 16 ______ into service．（）A.would be putB.was putC.will be putD.is put【答案】D【解析】答案是D．本题考查被动语态．根据句意判断，"Subway Line 16"和"put"之间是被动关系；由主句的将来时判断，Subway Line 16是将被投入使用，排除A和B；该句是when 引导的时间状语从句，时间状语从句中往往用一般现在时表示将来，故选D．当16号地铁投入使用后北京的交通将会好转．本题考查被动语态，要分析主语和动词之间的关系，联系动词本身的特定用法；在掌握被动结构的基本形式"be/get+过去分词"的基础上理解不同时态的被动语态的结构，最后进行综合判断．7.---Henry，can you go to the concert tonight？---I'm afraid I can't．I will give the ticket to ______ wants to enjoy it．（）A.someoneB.whomeverC.everyoneD.whoever【答案】D【解析】答案：D．根据I will give the ticket to，说明后面整句是介词后的宾语从句，而宾语从句wants to enjoy it可知句子不完整，缺主语成分，whomever无论是谁，作宾语，排除B，选项AC后应加who，定语从句，故选D．---亨利，你今晚去听音乐会吗？---我恐怕不能．我将把票给无论是谁想要欣赏音乐会的人．本题考查宾语从句，在在充分分析句型基础上，同时熟知疑问词加ever及定语从句的基础上便不难选出此题答案．8.In December of 2015，the Second World Internet Conference was held in Wuzhen，______ theme is to ensure peace and security in cyberspace．（）A.whoseB.whichC.whenD.where【答案】A【解析】答案A根据句子分析可知，___theme is to ensure peace and security in cyberspace是非限制性定语从句，可知在从句中缺少定语，故用whose，表示"…的"，根据句意，可知选A．2015年12月份，第二届世界互联网大会在温州举行，它的主题是维护网络安全和稳定．本题考查非限制性定语从句．考生需掌握非限制性定语从句的特征并结构具体语境做出判断．9.______ your own needs is as important as learning to express your emotions．（）A.UnderstandB.UnderstandingC.UnderstoodD.Having understood【答案】B【解析】答案是B．本题考查动名词做主语．分析句子结构发现，谓语动词is前______ your own needs 在句中充当主语，而动词能充当主语的形式是动名词和动词不定式，A是动词原形，C是过去分词或过去式，都不能做主语，所以排除A和C；D项可以是动名词的完成式，动名词的完成式要强调动名词的动作在谓语动词之前，而本题中没有时间上的先后关系，所以排除D；由此分析得出答案是B．理解你的需要与学习表达情感一样重要．对于非谓语动词的选择，首先要根据句子的结构判断句中缺少的是谓语动词还是非谓语动词；如果是非谓语动词，在理解非谓语动词的基本用法的基础上再根据句子的结构做出判断．10.It takes a long time to restore nature_______ it is damaged．（）A.sinceB.unlessC.onceD.until【答案】C【解析】答案：C．根据选项since自从…，unless除非…，once一旦，until直到…，再结合句意，一旦被破坏，要花很长时间才能恢复自然，可知此处缺少了一个引导时间状语从句的连接词，故C正确．一旦被破坏，要花很长时间才能恢复自然．本题考查时间状语从句的连接词，在充分分析句型再结合语义的基础上便能选出正确答案，同时要注意其他选项的意思，11.It has been foggy for five days．How I wish it______ sunny now!（）A.would beB.wereC.had beenD.is【答案】B【解析】答案是B．本题考查wish引导的宾语从句．wish引导的宾语从句往往用虚拟语气，与现在事实相反的愿望用过去时，be 动词用were；与过去事实相反的愿望用过去完成时；与将来事实相反的愿望用could/would+do；根据本题题干中的now可知是与现在事实相反的愿望，所以答案是B．已经连续五天多雾了．我多么希望现在是晴天．在掌握虚拟语气的规则的基础上，判断题干属于什么类型的虚拟，然后根据语境，选用恰当的动词形式表达虚拟．12.When someone turns away his body，it means impatience and a desire ____ a conversation．（）A.to escapeB.escapedC.escapingD.having escaped【答案】A【解析】答案是A．本题考查不定式做定语．题干中名词desire后面的escape充当定语，表示"渴望做…"，常常用动词不定式短语做desire的定语，构成"a desire to do"；过去分词做定语表示被动，不符合句意，所以排除B；现在分词完成式不做定语，所以排除D；现在分词一般式做定语表示"正在进行"，且单个的分词做定语必须放在被修饰的词的前面，所以排除C，答案选择A．当某人转过他的身子，那就意味着不耐烦以及想逃避一个对话．首先判断选项中的动词在句中是以谓语还是非谓语形式出现，然后根据选项在句中的功能结合非谓语的基本用法做出合理的判断．13.Drivers are supposed to limit the speed in neighborhoods because children ____ be playing there．（）A.shouldB.mustC.mayD.would【答案】C【解析】答案是C．本题考查情态动词的辨析．should应该；must必须；may也许；would会．根据句意，"也许"有孩子在附近玩，所以驾驶员开车要限速，所以答案选C．在附近开车应该限速因为小孩子们也许会在周围玩．要在正确理解情态动词的基本含义的基础上，整体理解语境中的情感态度，做出合理的判断．14.It's bad for your eyes if you keep them ______ on the screen for a long time．（）A.fixedB.fixC.fixingD.having fixed【答案】A【解析】答案：A 句中fix作keep的宾语补足语，fix与them之间构成动宾关系，要用表示被动的过去分词．故选A．你如果眼睛长时间盯着屏幕会对眼睛有害的．过去分词是非谓语动词的一种，用法很灵活，分为简单式done（表示与谓语同时或几乎同时发生的动作）；完成式having been done（表示先于谓语的动作）．学习时，要把握其用法特征：表示被动和完成．同时还要注意区分现在分词和不定式．15.In ______ hottest reality show Running Man III，Luhan is ______ only new member．（）A.a；不填B.a；anC.the；theD.the；不填【答案】C【解析】答案是C．本题考查定冠词的用法．第一空特指真人秀"奔跑吧，兄弟（3）"，所以用the，排除A和B．第二空考查"the only"表示"仅有的，唯一的"；所以判断答案是C．在最热的真人秀奔跑吧，兄弟（3）中，鹿晗是唯一的新成员．掌握冠词要关注两大方面：一是积累有关不定冠词、定冠词和零冠词的相关的规则；二是积累特掌殊的短语．II、完形填空(本大题共20小题，共30.0分)A eed a DayIt was a busy day as usual．I was making sandwiches and

daughter Kelly is a cautious person．She needs to warm up to situations，is hesitant to try new things．When with close friends，she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants，"Girls rule，boys drool．"But when that comfort zone is not around her，she is shy and nervous．This has been challenging for me at times．"Shy"is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me．But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence．This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team．This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels．And this year she completed her first kids'triathlon （三项全能）．On Saturday，with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son's birthday party later in the day，we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon．We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her，we got all the equipment she'd need，and we kept talking about the race．But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn，she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times．She was nervous but trying to keep it together．And then it was her turn．From the second she jumped into the water，my heart soared．My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen．She dominated （主宰）that swim，crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face．I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life．It wasn't because she did a sport or anything like that．It was because she was afraid of something and conquered（克服）that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn't seen before．All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling．She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day．I won the chance to see my girl shine．Shine on，sweet baby．36.Kelly is nervous when A．A.situations are new to herB.boys are around herC.she changes into a

have a scent？When someone is hapy，can you smell it？You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile，hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug．But can youalso smell their happiness？Surprising new research suggests thathappiness does indeed have a scent，and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell，reports Phys．org．For the study，12young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them．All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers，and all were asked to abstainfrom drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period．Those sweat samples were then given to 36equally healthy young women to smell，while researchers monitored their reactions．Only women were selected to smell the samples，apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling-though it's unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents．Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents-particularly their facial expressions-indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them．"Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell，"said study co-author Gun Semin，a professor at Koc University in Turkey．This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent，but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others．The study also found that other emotions，such as fear，seem to carry a scent too．This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell，but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings．Researchers have yet to isolate（分离）exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is，but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be．Happiness perfumes，for instance，could be invented．Scent therapies（香味疗法）could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety．Perhaps the most surprising result of the study，however，is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated，and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us．43.What is the main finding of the new research？______A.Men produce more sweats．B.Negative emotions have a smell．C.Pleasant feelings can be smelt out．D.Women have a better sense of smell．44.The underlined part"abstain from"in Paragraph 3probably means ______ ．A.avoidB.practiceC.continueD.try45.What is the application value of the new research？______A.Perfumes could help people understand each other．B.Some smells could be developed to better our mood．C.Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases．D.Some smells could be created to improve our appearance．46.We can learn from the last paragraph that ______ ．A.happiness comes from a scent of sweat。

Some days, it makes me want to cry. Other days, I feel a sense of expectation within me just thinking about fall that makes me want to burst. Tonight, all five of us were in the family room doing our own things.At this moment, my littlest kid is my number one trouble and my number one joy. He has a tooth on the way and although it’s such a tiny thing, it’s causing so much grief. I’m holding him a lot and I’m not going to lie. I live for his af ternoon nap (小睡) so I’m able to actually get dressed and use the restroom.The big E is starting school soon. The other day, I found myself a bit depressed about the end of summer and the beginning of another school year. I looked out of our front window with eyes that were heavy and a bit teary. Then, I suddenly realized just how silly this end of summer depression of mine is. I can’t change time. But, I can change my emotions and my thoughts. I decided not to spend my final days of summer vacation walking around with a sad face. I decided to hug the last few days of summer and remind myself that before I know it, we will be back in our school routine and all will go well.This week we plan on meeting teachers. I’m taking my girl to have her nails done before her first day of kindergarten. We want to bake a few dozen cookies. We’ll take our evening walks as usual and stay up late. And last but not least, I’ll get school cloth ready, I’ll pack lunches and write lunch notes, we’ll read“The Kissing Hand,” l ike we normally do, and I’ll tuck (掖好被子) my third grader and kindergartener in their little beds before the big first day.Thank you summer, you’ve been warm and wonderful, you’ve been sweet and sticky, you’ve been refreshing and exactly what we need. And your sunsets have been amazing, so thank you.56. According to Paragraph 1, the author __________.A. feels excitedB. has mixed feelingsC. feels worriedD. has bad feelings57. How will the author spend the final days of the summer vacation?A. Live a simple life.B. Stay at home and relax herself.C. Treasure the vacation.D. Walk around with a depressed face.58. From the passage, we can learn that the author __________.A. is fond of reading novelsB. has two annoying childrenC. often takes evening walksD. has no time to get dressedBEver walked to the shops only to find, once there, you’ve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old f riend? For years we’ve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of ageing as wrinkles and grey hair. But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it all wrong.According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s –much later than previously thought.Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we retain them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years it’s been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, order people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving.Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed – how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with ageing. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we’re younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the wo rld, but as we get older we’ve learned our lessons and are sub-consciously aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.59. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that __________.A. the young are better at handling important thingsB. people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60sC. ageing leads to the decline of the function of the brainD. wrinkles and grey hair are the only symbols of ageing60. The continuing research has found older people perform better on __________.A. vocabulary testsB. number abilityC. perceptual speedD. body balance61. People are happier with age because __________.A. they learn to value the time leftB. they know how to share feelingsC. they cannot focus on negative aspectsD. they do not realize the possible dangers62. What is the main idea of the passage?A. People get wiser with age.B. People get more forgetful with age.C. People get happier with age.D. People get more self-aware with age.CEveryone procrastinates. We put things off because we don’t want to do them, or because we have too many other things on our plates. Putting things off – big or small –is part of being human. But procrastination does have consequences. When your procrastination leaves you feeling discouraged, it is time to take action, and one of the best ways to get rid of it is to make an un-scheduled.An un-schedule is a weekly calendar of all the ways in which your time is already accounted for. You consider not only your timed commitments such as classes and meetings, but also your untimed activities such as meals, exercise, time with friends, and the like. Once you have made your un-schedule, you may be able to see your time is often filled with more activities than you realize, for instance, that you really don’t have five hours to spend writing on the night before your paper is due. Pr ocrastinators’ views of time tend to be unrealistic, and the un-schedule can help you outline a realistic plan. By planning accordingly, you will not only get a better night’s sleep, you may also end up with a better paper.The un-schedule might also be a good way to get started on a larger project, such as a term paper or an honors paper. You may think that you have “all semester” to get the writing done, but if you really map out how much time you have available to write on a daily and weekly basis, you will see that you need to get started sooner, rather than later. In addition, the un-schedule may reveal especially busy weeks or months, which will help you budget time for long-term projects. Perhaps most importantly, the un-schedule can help you examine how you spend your time. Youmay be surprised at how much time you spend watching television, and decide to make a change. It’s especially important that you build time for fun activities into your un-schedule. Otherwise, you will procrastinate in order to steal time for relaxation.You can also use the un-schedule to record your progress towards your goal. Reward yourself for your small successes. Seeing what you’ve achieved will help you reinforce (强化) the productive behavior, and you will feel more motivated in the following process.As you explore ways to conquer procrastination, don’t expect overnight transformation. You developed the habit over a long time; you aren’t going stop ma gically. But you can change the behavior, bit by bit. If you start to make an un-schedule now, you will eventually develop new habits.63. From Paragraph 2, we can know that procrastinators __________.A. usually have sleeping problemsB. tend to be unrealistic in daily lifeC. spend more time in doing exerciseD. often fail to notice untimed activities64. Which of the following statements best reflects an un-schedule?A. “Now I have more time for fun.”B. “I can start my big project later.”C. “I’ll treat myself to a movie for my progress.”D. “I’m going to have more time to finish my paper.”65. According to the writer, people need to make an un-schedule because of their_______.A. interests in doing things differentlyB. determination to try out new thingsC. inability to manage time properlyD. lack of concentration on a project66. The author writes the passage to __________.A. show concernsB. offer suggestionsC. express dissatisfactionD. make commentsDI wish documentaries, not movies. I read history books, not fiction. I use every free moment to accomplish one of the tasks on my never-ending checklist, and I am completely filled with thoughts of productivity. An hour sleeping is an hour wasted. And like the rest of 21st century America, I like it. But this fixation on productivity is increasingly destroying character and transforming men into robots.New York Times columnist David Brooks warned American University students of this culturaldecline in a speech. “We cut off all things spiritual and emotional in a competitive urge to stand out”, he said, “The pressure to succeed professionally, to acquire skills, to do the things you need to do to succeed in an information age economy really became the overwhelming (难以应付的) pressure, and it sort of eclipses the thinking about character and morality.Many students happily go to college, viewing it as a next step on their rise to professional achievement. Forcing as many success-building activities into their schedules as they can, they enjoy keeping busy with little sleep. “Today’s outstanding kids are likely to spend their afternoons and weekends shuttling from one skill-improving activity to the next,” Brooks wrote in an article, “We fear failure more than we desire success.”A century ago, college was about character building. Today, our characters are in decline. We are experts on economics, material things and professional skills. We fail to discuss and understand relationships, emotions and all things spiritual. Philosophers Karl Popper divided the world into two categories: Clocks and Clouds. Clock problems are those that can be taken apart, examined and solved through deductive reasoning (演绎推理). Clouds cannot be taken apart. Cloud problems represent whole systems that need to be understood in a different way.“When we have a Cloud problem, we try to turn into a Clock problem,” Brooks said. And in a reason-centered culture, adding titles to one’s resume becomes a trend. A t American University, 85 percent of seniors (and 89 percent of business majors) graduate with at least one practical experience which is often helpful to a student’s future career, but can sometimes draw focus away from academics.To prevent the death of man’s character, Brooks urges rediscovering our human natures through falling in love. And by love he means love for a task, job, or another person. “Synchronicity is key to happiness,” he said. Rather than crazily increasing our long lists of accomplishments, we need to lose ourselves in what we do, and success will come on its own.67. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that people __________.A. are controlled by timeB. are keen on reading booksC. are changing their charactersD. are eager to achieve more68. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “eclipses” means __________.A. deletesB. weakensC. worsensD. emphasizes69. The last paragraph mainly tells us that __________.A. love is more important than focusB. the focus on human natures countsC. more work contributes to happinessD. success comes from devotion to work.70. The purpose of this passage is to __________.A. bring awareness to character buildingB. stress the importance of productivityC. warn about the pressure to seek successD. criticize students’ desire for achievements七选五Weighing the OptionsMaking decisions when shopping is often a tough call. Even if you’re satis fied with the first dress you try on, would you go on looking for alternatives, comparing styles and prices, until literally dropped dead?Psychology researchers have studied how people make decisions and concluded there are two basic styles. “Maximizes” like to take their time and weigh a wide range of options, – sometimes every possible one –before choosing. “Satisficers” would rather be fast than thorough.__________ (71) So even if they see what would seem to meet their requirements, they can’t make a decision until after they’ve examined every option to make sure that they’re making the best possible choice. Researchers followed 548 job-seeking college seniors at 11 schools from October through their graduation in June. They found that the maximizers landed better jobs. __________ (72)“The maximizers is kicking himself because he can’t examine every option and at some point had to just pick something,” they say. “Maximizers make best decisions and end up feeling bad about them. __________ (73)”Satisficers also have high standards, but they are happier than maximizers. Maximizers tend to be more depressed and to report a lower satisfaction with life, his research found.Faced with so many choices in our lives, we need to learn how not to waste time and energy on our decision-making._________ (74) For instance, if you’re picking a restaurant for lunch meeting, first deciding on a certain part of town or type of cuisine can narrow your options.Once you’ve arrived at a decision, stick with it. __________ (75) To limit the number of options you can set a time for decision-making. Say you are buying a new bag, you could spend an amount of time studying features, price and value – but if you give yourself only five minutes to make a decis ion, and there are only bags you can consider, you’ll save time. You’ll be happierwith your decision, too.A. Maximizers are people who want the best.B. First of all, decrease your range of options.C. Comparing is often a must when you make a decision.D. Just accept that no decision is ever completely perfect.E. Satisficers make good decisions and end up feeling good.F. The other is to make decisions more accurately at the beginning.G. Their starting salaries were 20 percent higher but they felt worse about their jobs. WRITING 1 你的英国朋友Tom 将来你家共度除夕，你打算当天下午去地铁站接他。

2015-2016学年北京市海淀区高一(上)英语期末考试
2015-2016学年北京市海淀区高一（上）英语期末考试一、阅读理解（共10小题；共20分）AThe Corn PlantingHatch is nearly seventy. He and his wife had a son, Will, who was a fellow always cheerful, bright, alert and a great favorite with all of us.After high school, Will went to Chicago, where he became a student in the art Institute. Another young fellow, Hal, from our town was also a student at the University in Chicago. They got together and had a good many long talks. I got it from Hal that in Chicago, Will's straightforwardness made him popular with all the young fellows.After Hal graduated, he came home and got a job. He used to go quite often to see Will's father and mother. The talk was always of Will. Hal said Will's parents were like two children wanting to know every little detail Hal could remember about their son's life in the big city.It was a spring night when Hal got a wire. Will had been killed in a car accident. We went along to take the message to Hatch and his wife. Hal did knock and old Hatch came to the door. Hal told him everything right into old Hatch and his wife. Old Hatch didn't say a word and stood there. The door went shut again with a bang. Suddenly, after a long time, the old man got a hand corn-planter and his wife got a bag of seed corn, and in the moonlight, that night, after they got that news, they were planting corn. They did a row across the field, and then at the end of each row they knelt side by side by the fence. The whole thing went on in silence.It was the first time in my life I ever understand something about the connection between certain people and the earth—a kind of silent cry, down into the earth, of those two old people, putting corn down into the earth. It was as though they were putting death down into the ground that life might grow again.1. What made Will popular in the Art Institute?A. His artistic talent.B. His good character.C. His family background.D. His friendship with Hal.2. According to paragraph 3, Will's parent .A. were very childrenB. were very talkativeC. were eager to know about their son's lifeD. were fond of the life in the big city3. On hearing the news of his son's death, Hatch .A. planted cornB. pushed Hal outC. burst into tearsD. fell on the floor4. According to the last paragraph, the old couple's behavior was to .A. reduce their painB. have a better harvestC. memorize their sonD. pray for their son's rebirthBThe Importance of After-school ProgramsIn the old model of teaching and molding the behavior of youngsters and teens, the home and the school had always been the two institutions tasked to provide counseling, support, learning and providing avenues for character development. With the increasing number of kids who are not able to go to school for various reasons from poverty to disenfranchisement, the need for alternative methods to help children outside schools is being brought into the spotlight. In this article, we explore some of the methods of after-school education and character building that is pivotal to mold in young minds despite the inadequacy of education institutions to open its doors to everyone.Here are some of the more common after-school and beyond-school activities that can be found in many communities all over the world.Sports Clubs. Sports has long been known as a key vehicle for molding minds and teaching them the value of teamwork, sacrifice, determination, hard work and many other important values. Beyond school, there are many sports clubs that offer an avenue for kids to bond together doing things that they are passionate about. Common examples in this area cover sports such as basketball, baseball, soccer, swimming, and more recent trends like skateboarding and surfing to name a few.Performing Art Clubs. While some kids easily gravitate towards sports, there are others who feel more at home on-stage or in a performing arts training room. Common examples include drama, ballet, dance, The Glee Club, painting classes, piano and violin lessons and many others. These classes hammer home the importance of being confident in your talents and taking pride in being able to perform in front of a crowd. Many of the best Hollywood actors and actresses that we know today started in school and community plays where they discovered their calling for the performing arts.Remedial Classes. While these are not necessarily considered to be part of school, these are intended to provide extra classes to help kids with their lessons. Common examples are those in difficult subjects like literature and reading, or sciences and mathematics.After School Nutrition Programs. Especially in impoverished communities where nutrition is a major problem, there are many organizations that provide students with warm and nutritious meals before they are allowed to go home. These supplementary feeding programs are essential activities to ensure that proper nutrition is maintained despite the tough financial standing of families in a specific neighborhood.5. If you are confident in yourselves, you can participate in .A. Performing Art ClubsB. Sports ClubsC. Remedial ClassesD. After School Nutrition Programs6. The After-school Programs now are intended for .A. body buildingB. character buildingC. helping kids in neighborhoodD. helping kids outside school7. Where can most probably we find the passage?A. On a notice board.B. On a university website.C. In an educational magazine.D. In an English teaching book.CReading books has always been regarded among the charms of cultured life and is respected and envied by those who rarely give themselves that enjoyment.This is easy to understand when we compare the difference between the life of a man who does no reading and that of a man who does. The man who doesn't have the habit of reading is imprisoned in his immediate world, in respect to time and space. He is limited to contact and conversation with a few friends, and he sees only what takes up a book, he immediate neighborhood. From this prison there is no escape. But the moment he takes up a book he immediately enters a different world, and if it is a good book, he is immediately put in touch with one of the best talkers of the world. This talker leads him on and carries him into a different country or age, or unburdens to him some of his personal regrets, or discusses with him some aspect of life that the reader knows nothing about.But there is more to it than this. The reader is always carried away into a world of thought and reflection. Even if it is a book about physical events, there is a difference between seeing such events in person or living through them, and reading about them in books. The best reading is therefore that which leads us into deep though, and not that which is merely the report of events.The great are mainly concerned with getting reports about events and happening without value for further thinking.The poet Huang Shanku said, "A scholar who hasn't read anything for three days feels that his talk has no flavor, and his own face becomes hateful to look at in the mirror." What he means, of course, is that reading gives a man a certain charm, which is the entire aim of reading, and only reading with this purpose can be called an art. One doesn't read to "improve one's mind," because when one begins to think of improving his mind, all the pleasure of reading is gone. He is the type of person who says to himself, "I must read Shakespeare, so I can become an educated man". I'm sure that man will never become educated. Anyone who reads a book with a sense of obligation does not understand the art of reading.8. According to the passage, what is the advantage of reading?A. We can escape from our immediate world.B. We can experience the same feeling as the author.C. We can be led to thinking and reflecting.D. We can reduce our own regrets in life.9. The poet Huang Shanku is quoted to explain .A. the main pleasure of readingB. the status of reading as an artC. the importance of improving one's mindD. the influence of reading on one's appearance10. The author wants to show the importance of reading for .A. mastery of skillsB. enrichment of soulC. improvement of mindD. collection of information二、阅读与表达(混合式)（共10小题；共20分）The classroomAt the sight of my old professor, I froze.I had not seen him in sixteen years. I suddenly felt unprepared for this meeting—I hoped that he hadn't noticed my arrival. But Morrie was smiling at me, waiting for me to go inside.The sun beamed in through the window, lighting up the floor. We had been talking there for nearly two hours. The phone rang yet again and Morrie asked his helper, Connie, to get it. She had been writing the callers' names in Morrie appointment book. People who wanted to have a talk with him. A discussion group.It was clear I was not the only one interested in visiting my old professor—the Morrie hotline "Nightline" had made him well-known—but I was impressed with all the friends that Morrie seemed to have. I though about my friends in college. Where had they gone?"You know, Mitch, now that I'm dying. I've become much more interesting to people.""You were always interesting.""Ho," Morrie smiled, "You're kind."No, I'm not, I thought."Here's the thing," he said, "People see me as a bridge. I'm not as alive as I used to be, but I'm not yet dead. I'm sort of ……in-between."He coughed, then smiled again. "I'm on the last great journey here-and people want me to tell them what to pack."The phone rang again."Morrie, can you talk?" Connie asked."I'm visiting with my old friend now," he announced, "Let them call back."I cannot tell you why he received me so warmly. I was hardly the best student ho had left him sixteen years earlier. Had it not been for "Nightline", Morrie might have died without ever seeing me again. I had no good excuse for this. I had become too wrapped up in my own life. I was busy.What happened to me? I asked myself. Morrie's voice took me back to my university years, when I though rich people were evil, a shirt and tie were prison clothes, and life without freedom to travel around the world was not a good life at all. What happened to me?I traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck and I never even realized I was doing it. Yet here was Morrie talking with the wonder of our college years, as if I'd simply been on a long vocation."Have you found someone to share your heart with?" he asked."Are you giving to your companies?Are you at peace with yourself?""Are you trying to be as human as you can be?"I hesitated, wanting to show I had been struggling with such questions. What happened to me? I once promised myself I would never work for money, that I would live in beautiful and inspirational places.Instead, I had been in the same city for ten years now, at the same workplace, visiting the same shop. I was thirty-seven, tied to computers and cell phones. I wrote articles rich athletes who, for the most part, could not care less about people like me. I was no longer young. I did not have long discussions about the meaning of life.My days were full, yet I remained, much of the time, unsatisfied.What happened to me?任务一：根据短文内容，判断正误，正确的为T，错误的为F。

Some days, it makes me want to cry. Other days, I feel a sense of expectation within me just thinking about fall that makes me want to burst. Tonight, all five of us were in the family room doing our own things.At this moment, my littlest kid is my number one trouble and my number one joy. He has a tooth on the way and although i t’s such a tiny thing, it’s causing so much grief. I’m holding hi m a lot and I’m not going to lie. I live for his afternoon nap (小睡) so I’m able to actually get dressed and use the restroom.The big E is starting school soon. The other day, I found myself a bit depressed about the end of summer and the beginning of another school year. I looked out of our front window with eyes that were heavy and a bit teary. Then, I suddenly realized just how silly this end of summer depression of mine is. I can’t chan ge time. But, I can change my emotions and my thoughts. I decided not to spend my final days of summer vacation walking around with a sad face. I decided to hug the last few days of summer and remind myself that before I know it, we will be back in our school routine and all will go well.This week we plan on meeting teachers. I’m taking my girl to have her nails done before her first day of kindergarten. We want to bake a few dozen cookies. We’ll take our evening walks as usual and stay up late. And last but not least, I’ll get school cloth ready, I’ll pack lunches and write lunch notes, we’ll read“The Kissing Hand,”like we normally do, and I’ll tuck (掖好被子) my third grader and kindergartener in their little beds before the big first day.Thank you summer, you’ve been warm and wonderful, you’ve been sweet and sticky, you’ve been refreshing and exactly what we need. And your sunsets have been amazing, so thank you.56. According to Paragraph 1, the author __________.A. feels excitedB. has mixed feelingsC. feels worriedD. has bad feelings57. How will the author spend the final days of the summer vacation?A. Live a simple life.B. Stay at home and relax herself.C. Treasure the vacation.D. Walk around with a depressed face.58. From the passage, we can learn that the author __________.A. is fond of reading novelsB. has two annoying childrenC. often takes evening walksD. hasno time to get dressedBEver walked to the shops only to find, once there, you’ve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years we’ve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of ageing as wrinkles and grey hair. But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it all wr ong.According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s –much later than previously thought.Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we retain them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years it’s been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, order people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving.Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed – how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with ageing. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we’re younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older we’ve lea rned our lessons and are sub-consciously aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.59. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that __________.A. the young are better at handling important thingsB. people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60sC. ageing leads to the decline of the function of the brainD. wrinkles and grey hair are the only symbols of ageing60. The continuing research has found older people perform better on __________.A. vocabulary testsB. number abilityC. perceptual speedD. body balance61. People are happier with age because __________.A. they learn to value the time leftB. they know how to share feelingsC. they cannot focus on negative aspectsD. they do not realize the possible dangers62. What is the main idea of the passage?A. People get wiser with age.B. People get more forgetful with age.C. People get happier with age.D. People get more self-aware with age.CEveryone procrastinates. We put things off because we don’t want to do them, or because we have too many other things on our plates. Putting things off –big or small –is part of being human. But procrastination does have consequences. When your procrastination leaves you feeling discouraged, it is time to take action, and one of the best ways to get rid of it is to make an un-scheduled.An un-schedule is a weekly calendar of all the ways in which your time is already accounted for. You consider not only your timed commitments such as classes and meetings, but also your untimed activities such as meals, exercise, time with friends, and the like. Once you have made your un-schedule, you may be able to see your time is often filled with more activities than you realize, for instance, that you really don’t have five hours to spend writing on the night before your paper is due. Procrastinators’ views of time tend to be unrealistic, and the un-schedule can help you outline a realistic plan. By planning accordingly, you will not only get a better night’s sleep, yo u may also end up with a better paper.The un-schedule might also be a good way to get started on a larger project, such as a term paper or an honors paper. You may think that you have “all semester” to get the writing done, but if you really map out how much time you have available to write on a daily and weekly basis, you will see that you need to get started sooner, rather than later. In addition, the un-schedule may revealespecially busy weeks or months, which will help you budget time for long-term projects. Perhaps most importantly, the un-schedule can help you examine how you spend your time. You may be surprised at how much time you spend watching television, and decide to make a change. It’s especially important that you build time for fu n activities into your un-schedule. Otherwise, you will procrastinate in order to steal time for relaxation.You can also use the un-schedule to record your progress towards your goal. Reward yourself for your small successes. Seeing what you’ve achiev ed will help you reinforce (强化) the productive behavior, and you will feel more motivated in the following process.As you explore ways to conquer procrastination, don’t expect overnight transformation. You developed the habit over a long time; you are n’t going stop magically. But you can change the behavior, bit by bit. If you start to make an un-schedule now, you will eventually develop new habits.63. From Paragraph 2, we can know that procrastinators __________.A. usually have sleeping problemsB. tend to be unrealistic in daily lifeC. spend more time in doing exerciseD. often fail to notice untimed activities64. Which of the following statements best reflects an un-schedule?A. “Now I have more time for fun.”B. “I can start my big project later.”C. “I’ll treat myself to a movie for my progress.”D. “I’m going to have more time to finish my paper.”65. According to the writer, people need to make an un-schedule because of their __________.A. interests in doing things differentlyB. determination to try out new thingsC. inability to manage time properlyD. lack of concentration on a project66. The author writes the passage to __________.A. show concernsB. offer suggestionsC. express dissatisfactionD. make commentsDI wish documentaries, not movies. I read history books, not fiction. I use every free moment to accomplish one of the tasks on my never-ending checklist, and I am completely filled with thoughts of productivity. An hour sleeping is an hour wasted. And like the rest of 21st century America, I like it. But this fixation on productivity is increasingly destroying character and transforming men into robots.New York Times columnist David Brooks warned American University students of this cultural decline in a speech. “We cut off all things spiritual and emotional in a competitive urge to stand out”, he said, “The pressure to succeed professionally, to acquire skills, to do the things you need to do to succeed in an information age economy really became the overwhelming (难以应付的) pressure, and it sort of eclipses the thinking about character and morality.Many students happily go to college, viewing it as a next step on their rise to professional achievement. Forcing as many success-building activities into their schedules as they can, they enjoy keeping busy with little sleep. “Today’s outstanding kids are likely to spend their afternoons and weekends shuttling from one skill-improving activity to the next,” Brooks wrote in an article, “We fear failure more than we desire success.”A century ago, college was about character building. Today, our characters are in decline. We are experts on economics, material things and professional skills. We fail to discuss and understand relationships, emotions and all things spiritual. Philosophers Karl Popper divided the world into twocategories: Clocks and Clouds. Clock problems are those that can be taken apart, examined and solved through deductive reasoning (演绎推理). Clouds cannot be taken apart. Cloud problems represent whole systems that need to be understood in a different way.“When we have a Cloud problem, we try to turn into a Clock problem,” Brooks said. And in a reason-centered culture, adding titles to one’s resume becomes a trend. At American University, 85 percent of seniors (and 89 percent of business majors) graduate with at least one practical experience which is often helpful to a student’s future career, but can sometimes draw focus away from academics.T o prevent the death of man’s character, Brooks urges rediscovering our human natures through falling in love. And by love he means love for a task, job, or another person. “Synchronicity is key to happiness,” he said. Rather than craz ily increasing our long lists of accomplishments, we need to lose ourselves in what we do, and success will come on its own.67. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that people __________.A. are controlled by timeB. are keen on reading booksC. are changing their charactersD. are eager to achieve more68. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “eclipses” means __________.A. deletesB. weakensC. worsensD. emphasizes69. The last paragraph mainly tells us that __________.A. love is more important than focusB. the focus on human natures countsC. more work contributes to happinessD. success comes from devotion to work.70. The purpose of this passage is to __________.A. bring awareness to character buildingB. stress the importance of productivityC. warn about the pressure to seek successD. criticize students’desire for achievements七选五Weighing the OptionsMaking decisions when sh opping is often a tough call. Even if you’r e satisfied with the first dress you try on, would you go on looking for alternatives, comparing styles and prices, until literally dropped dead?Psychology researchers have studied how people make decisions and concluded there are two basic styles. “Maximizes” like to take their time and weigh a wide range of options, – sometimes every possible one –before choosing. “Satisficers” would rather be fast than thorough.__________ (71) So even if they see what would seem to meet their requirements, they can’t make a decision until after they’ve examined every option to make sure that they’re making the best possible choice. Researchers followed 548 job-seeking college seniors at 11 schools from October through their graduation in June. They found that the maximizers landed better jobs. __________ (72)“The maximizers is kicking himself because he can’t examine every option and at some point had to just pick something,” they say. “Maximizers make best decisions and end up feeling bad about them. __________ (73)”Satisficers also have high standards, but they are happier than maximizers. Maximizers tend to be more depressed and to report a lower satisfaction with life, his research found.Faced with so many choices in our lives, we need to learn how not to waste time and energy on our decision-making._________ (74) For instance, if you’re picking a restaurant for lunch meeting, first deciding on a certain part of town or type of cuisine can narrow your options.Once you’ve arrived at a decision, stick with it. __________ (75) To limit the number of options you can set a time for decision-making. Say you are buying a new bag, you could spend an amount of time studying features, price and value –but if you give yourself only five minutes to make a decision, and there are only bags you can consider, you’ll save time. You’ll be happier with your decision, too.A. Maximizers are people who want the best.B. First of all, decrease your range of options.C. Comparing is often a must when you make a decision.D. Just accept that no decision is ever completely perfect.E. Satisficers make good decisions and end up feeling good.F. The other is to make decisions more accurately at the beginning.G. Their starting salaries were 20 percent higher but they felt worse about their jobs. WRITING 1 你的英国朋友Tom 将来你家共度除夕，你打算当天下午去地铁站接他。

Last Saturday, our class visited the Museum of the Anti-Japanese War. When our school bus arrived at the Museum, we got off and entered in line. The moment we went into the exhibition room, we were attracted by the pictures and descriptions about the war on the wall. Some students took notes while others had a little discussion. We were shocked at the cruelty of the war. Then we gathered in another room and listened to an old soldier telling the stories about the war. Therefore, we had a better understanding of the history.
Before we left, we all came to the front of the museum and took a picture with the old soldier in memory of our visit. We were very glad to meet such a true hero.
We hope by visiting the museum more people can remember what happened in the war and treasure the peaceful life.。
