2014年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（湖北卷）完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）When our restaurant business failed, we headed north in a camping truck to Texas, hoping to have a “fresh start”.At the 31 of Palo Duro Canyon (峡谷) State Park, I 32 a job advertisement hiring park hosts. The position offered a 33 , permanent campsite in the park, and 34 , the hosts served as a link between the park’s guests and the rangers (护林人). It was the perfect solution: a rent-free place to reorganize our lives. We entered the park and I made an 35 for the following day.The park was 36 , so it took us some time to find an available site. That evening, as we finished our dinner, my wife saw two large skunks (臭鼬) walking toward our table. We 37 climbed onto the table and, for the next four hours, waited for them to 38 our camp.Having survived that night, we were 39 that everything else would be all right. The next day we met with the people who ran the park. They explained our 40 and gave us a beautiful campsite.That evening, 41 , we learned about the canyon 42 . They were strong and cold, rocking our little camping truck violently, and we lay 43 in the dark until the winds died away.44 the weeks that followed, we learned to survive in our truck and 45 the little money my wife 46 by substitute teaching.

For a time after our business 48 I thought I might lose my family as well.Living in the tiny 49 with no television, we sat close together reading and talking.

I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behaviour could only make the job harder and their behaviour more extreme. I found something that worked, though.There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying property.I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boy’s teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my co-worker that I would take care of him.I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation:“So what happened today?”It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn’t let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.51.

At a height of almost 310 metres, it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the Shard for London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire (尖顶). He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. The sides of the building aren’t regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin, sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard. Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts (桅杆) of the ships that were once on the river Thames.The Shard has 87 floors. At the top, there is an observatory. At the moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a five-star hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.Before buildi ng work began, a lot of people didn’t want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now they are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing. There is no decoration, only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.Other critics don’t like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel. But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.55. London’s newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of ______.A. its costB. its sizeC. its shapeD. its height56. When he designed the Shard, Piano wanted it to ______.A. change London’s skylineB. inherit Lond on’s traditionC. imitate the Egyptian styleD. attract potential visitors57. The critics who refer to social division think the Shard ______.A. is only preferred by the richB. is intended for wealthy peopleC. is far away from the poor areaD. is popular only with Londoners58. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. The Shard: Cheers and ClapsB. The Shard: Work of a Great ArchitectC. The Shard: New Symbol of London?D. The Shard: A Change for the Better?CWorking with a group of baboons (狒狒) in the Namibian desert, Dr. Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology, Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a box. Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task, while others had to learn for themselves. To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were, Dr. Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.She found that personality had a major impact on learning. The braver baboons learnt, but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did. In effect, despite being made aware of what to do, they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones. The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not, even though they spent more time watching.This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals, something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things. The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive (认知的) tasks not because they aren’t clever enough to solve them, but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information.The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning. If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don’t associate with the knowledgeable individuals, or they are too shy to use the information once they have it, information may not travel between all group members, preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.59. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The design of Dr. Carter’s research.B. The results of Dr. Carter’s research.C. The purpose of Dr. Carter’s research.D. The significance of Dr. Carter’s research.60. According to the research, which baboons are more likely to complete a new learning task?A. Those that have more experience.B. Those that can avoid potential risks.C. Those that like to work independently.D. Those that feel anxious about learning.61. Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragraph 4?A. Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning.B. Some baboons are shy but active in social activities.C. Some baboons observe others but don’t follow them.D. Some baboons perform new tasks but don’t concentrate.62. Dr. Carter’s findings indicate that our culture might be formed through ______.A. storing informationB. learning from each otherC. understanding different peopleD. travelling between social groupsYou’ve flown halfway around the world; you’ve sniffed out this place that nobody in Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever heard of; so what on earth is there to do here? You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand.It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee. By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin, about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok, down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand. Not many tourists find this place, and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.There’s an apparent laziness that surrounds you here. It’s what this place offers, and it’s free of charge. The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down. You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest. You sit there and watch the sea.It’s early afternoon, so the cook comes out and asks what you’d like to eat this evening. Before long he’s rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered—every meal fresh and to order. No menu here.There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm, clear blue sea. There’s no street noise. The only sounds are the murmurs of nature.For now you just count your blessings (福祉), listing them in the sand with your toe (脚趾). You don’t have to worry about being late for work. You don’t have to do anything.The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平线), slowly narrowing to nothingness only to re-emerge again on your left, now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you. Sand to your left and sand to your right; it’s unbroken, endless. No start, no end, just sand, sun, and peace. Step off it, and you re-enter the world of traffic, stress, work, and hurry.Normally you’re the type who can’t sit still for more than ten minutes, but you’re on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and, in the right frame of mind, it stretches all the way around the world.“How could it take me so long to find it?” you wonder.63. When the author first went to Huaplee Beach, ______.A. he found it unworthwhileB. he failed to sort himself outC. he became sensitive to smellD. he had difficulty in finding it64. What is special about the food service at Huaplee Beach?A. No menu.B. Free food.C. Self service.D. Quick delivery.65. In the author’s opinion, a tourist can enjoy Huaplee Beach most when he ______.A. sits in a beach chairB. forgets his daily routineC. plans a detailed scheduleD. draws pictures in the sand66. What does the author imply by his question at the end of the passage?A. He shouldn’t have counted his blessings.B. He should have understood the wonder of nature.C. He shouldn’t have spent so much time on the trip.D. He should have come to the place earlier.For most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets, and even bicycles. Dr. Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be impossible. In that sense, they argue, the elevator’s role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk, the car and the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally (水平地), and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的) columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience—one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothi ng in common, and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that we’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to it,” Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mix ture of closeness and displeasure.” That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today, as the world’s urban population explodes, and cities become more crowded, taller, and more crowded, America’s total number of elevators—900,000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazine’s “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”—are a force that’s becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.67. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The general view of elevators.B. The particular interests of experts.C. The desire for a remarkable machine.D. The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.68. The author’s purpose in mentioning cars is ______.A. to contrast their functions with elevators’B. to emphasize the importance of elevatorsC. to reveal their secret war against elevatorsD. to explain people’s preference for elevators69. According to Prof. Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from other lifeexperiences?A. Vertical direction.B. Lack of excitement.C. Little physical space.D. Uncomfortable conditions.70. The author urges readers to consider ______.A. the exact number of elevator loversB. the serious future situation of elevatorsC. the role of elevators in city developmentD. the relationship between cars and elevators七选五：Parents and doctors have the same worry over especially low birthweight newborns. 71 A trend has therefore developed to make special formulas(配方)of extra nutrients and protein-rich foods for these tiny babies. Unfortunately, a British study has found that this practice could have negative long term effects, such as high blood pressure in adulthood.Between 1993 and 1995, Atul Singhal of the Institute of Child Health and his colleagues researched 299 full-term newborns, each of whom weighed very little for their age. The babies’moms had decided not to breastfeed(用母乳喂养).72 The rest received a formula with more nutrients and 28 percent more protein than the standard formula. The growth of all of these children was compared to that of 175 similarly low birthweight babies whose mothers had chosen to breastfeed their children for their first 9 months. 73 They found 83 babies from the normal-formula group,70 babies from the extra-formula group, and 95 babies from the breast fed group. 74 According to the latest data, children who had received the extra formula had significantly higher blood pressures than those in the other two groups.Seven human tests have indeed shown that when infants are overfed before being stopped breastfeeding, they have an increased possibility to become fat as youngsters.No matter how big a child is at birth, he or she will probably reach the same adult height no matter how quickly the baby grows. But reaching one’s adult size at a slow-to-moderate speed may have a lot of benefits, as Singhal says. 75A. Half of these children were given a normal infant(幼儿) formula for 9 monthsB. When they grow up, they might have high blood pressure.C. These babies have very little energy because they are so small.D. Six to eight years later, the researchers gave the children a series of measurements and tests.E. The results were quite surprising.F. Tiny babies will grow much slower if they are not specially fed.G. His advice to parents: Be patient. Don’t rush a child’s growth.语法填空：In my 18 years of life, there have been many things.

tourist﹣heavy area and tourists are constantly feeding the ponies foods，despite sighs asking them not to．By feeding the ponies，tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car，and make them harder to gather during the area's annual pony drift（迁移）．The purpose of a pony drift is to gather them up so their health can be checked，the baby ones can be stooped from feeding on their mother's milk，and those who've gone beyond their limited area can be returned to their correct area．Some of them are also later sold，in order to limit the number of ponies according to the rules set by Natural England．Three weeks ago，I witnessed a small near﹣disaster a few mils west of here．While walking，I noticed a pony roll over on his back．"Hello!"I said to him，assuming he was just rolling for fun，but he was very still and，as I got closer，I saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily．I began to properly worry about him．Fortunately，I managed to get in touch with a Dartmoor's Livestock Protection officer and send her a photo．The officer immediately sent a local farmer out to check on the pony．The pony had actually been trapped between two rocks．The farmer freed him，and he began to run happily around again．Dartmoor has 1，000or so ponies，who play a critical role in creating the diversity of species in this area．Many people are working hard to preserve these ponies，and trying to come up with plans to find a sustainable（可持续的）future for one of Dartmoor's most financially﹣troubled elements．51．Why are tourists asked not to feed the ponies？A．To protect the tourists from being bittenB．To keep the ponies off the petrol stationC．To avoid putting the ponies in dangerD．To prevent the ponies from fighting52．One of the purposes of the annual pony drift is．A．to feed baby ponies on milkB．to control the number of poniesC．to expand the habitat for poniesD．to sell the ponies at a good price53．What as the author's first reaction when he saw a pony roll on its back？A．He freed it from the trapB．He called a protection officerC．He worried about it very muchD．He thought of it as being naughty54．What does the author imply about the preservation of Dartmoor's ponies？A．It lacks people's involvement．B．It costs a large amount of moneyC．It will affect tourism in Dartmoor．D．It has caused an imbalance of species．55．（8分）What Theresa Loe is doing proves that a large farm isn't a prerequisite for a modern grow﹣your﹣own lifestyle．On a mere 1/10 ofan acre in Los Angeles，Loe andher family grow，can（装罐）and preserve much of the food they consume．Loe is a master food preserver，gardener and canning expert．She also operates a website，where she share her tips and recipes，with the goal of demonstrating that everyone has the ability to control what's on their plate．Loe initially went to school to become an engineer，but she quickly learned thather enthusiasm was mainly about growing and preparing her own food．"I got into cooking my own food and started growing my own herbs（香草）and foods for thatfresh flavor，"she said．Engineer by day，Loe learned cooking at night school．She ultimately purchased a small piece of land with her husband and began growing their own foods．"I teach people how to live farm﹣fresh without a farm，"Loe said．Through her website Loe emphasizes that"anybody can do this anywhere．"Got an apartment with a balcony（阳台）？Plant some herbs．A window？Perfect spot for growing．Start with herbs，she recommends，because"they're very forgiving．"Just a little of the herbs"can take your regular cooking to a whole new level，"she added．"I think it's a great place to start．"Then？Try growing something from a seed，she said，like a tomato or some tea．Canning is a natural extension of the planting she does．With every planted food，Loe noted，there's a moment when it's bursting with its absolute peak flavor．"I try and keep it in a time capsule in a canning jar．"Loe said．"Canning for me is about knowing what's in your food，knowing where it comes from．"In addition to being more in touch with the food she's eating，another joy comes from passing this knowledge and this desire for good food to her children："Influencing them and telling them your opinion on not only being careful what we eat but understanding the bigger picture，"she said，"that if we don't take care of the earth，no one will．"55．The underlined word"prerequisite"（Para.1）is closest in meaning to""．A．recipeB．substituteC．requirementD．challenge56．Why does Loe suggest starting with herbs？A．They are used daily．B．They are easy to grow．C．They can grow very tall．D．They can be eaten uncooked．57．According to Loe，what is the benefit of canning her planted foods？A．It can preserve their best flavor．B．It can promote her online sales．C．It can better her cooking skills．D．It can improve their nutrition．58．What is the"the bigger picture"（Para.6）that Loe wishes her children to understand？A．The knowledge about good food．B．The way to live a grow﹣our﹣own life．C．The joy of getting in touch with foods．D．The responsibility to protect our earth．59．（8分）Hilversum is a medium﹣sized city between the major cities of Amesterdam andUtrecht in theGooi area of North Holland，the Netherlands．Unlike most of theNetherlands，Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand．Once called the Garden of Amsterdam，it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding forests．They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness．For Dutch people，Hilversum is all about textile（纺织）and media industries，and modern architecture．In history，Hilversum was largely an agricultural area．Daily life was marked by farming，sheep raising and wool production．A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum．They built themselves large villas（别墅）in the wooded surroundings of the town．One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers，currently the wealthiest family of the Netherlands．They moved in after big success in the textileindustry and aided a substantial textileindustry in Hilversum．But the textile boom lasted only several decades．The last factory closed in the 1960s．The change to a media economy started in 1920，when theNederlandseSeintoestellenFabriek （NSF）established a radio factory in Hilversum．Most radio stations settled in the large villas in the leafy areas of thetown．Television gave another push to the local economy．Hilversum became the media capital of theNetherlands，and Dutch television stars moved into the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town．In the early 1900s，modern architects W．M．Dudok and J．Duiker placedhundreds of remarkable buildings in Hilversum．These modern architecturalmasterpieces（杰作）are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open airmuseum．Dudok alone shaped most of 20th century Hilversum and approximately 75buildings still bear his unique characteristics．His masterpiece，Hilversum Town Hall，was built in 1928﹣1931．It has wide international fame and is included in manyarchitecture textbooks．The building has remarkable shape and looks like acombination of"blocks"．Actually，one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking or biking the W．M．Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum．59．Hilversum is different form most of the Netherlands in that．A．it has a large populationB．it is cut off form big citiesC．is has many beautiful gardensD．it is in a hilly area with sandy soil60．What was the greatest contribution of the Brennikmeijers to Hilversum？A．Building a railway link to Amsterdam．B．Helping its textileindustry to develop．C．Constructing large villas for the poor．D．Assisting its agricultural industry．61．The beginning of the media industry in Hilversum was marked by the establishment of．A．a radio factoryB．the media capitalC．a radio stationD．a TV station62．What is known about W．M．Dudok's Hilversum Town Hall？A．It consists of approximately 75buildings．B．It looks like an open airmuseum in the city．C．It is a classic example in architecture textbooks．D．It has shaped most of 20th century Hilversum．63．（8分）The oddness of life in space never quite goes away．Here are some examples．First consider something as simple as sleep．Its position presents its ownchallenges．The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag．If you leave your arms out，they float free in zero gravity，often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny ballet （芭蕾）dancer．"I'm an inside guy，"Mike Hopkins says，who returned from a six﹣month tour on the International Space Station．"I like to be wrapped up．"On the station，the ordinary becomes strange．The exercise bike for the American astronaut has no handlebars．It also has no sear．With no gravity，it's just as easy to pedal violently．You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want．Without gravity to help circulate air，the carbon dioxide you exhale（呼气）has a tendency to form an invisible（隐形的）cloud around your head．You can end up with whatastronauts call a carbon﹣dioxide headache．Leroy Chiao，54，an American retiredastronaut after four flights，describes what happens even before you float out of your seat．"Your inner ear thinks you're falling．Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you're standing straight．That can be annoying﹣that's why some people feel sick．"Within a couple of days﹣truly terrible days for some﹣astronauts'brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear，and space sickness disappears．Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous．For instance，astronauts lose bone mass．That's why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration（NASA）puts in right on the workdayschedule．The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as itis about keeping any individualastronaut healthy．NASA is worried about two things：recovery time once astronauts return home，and，more importantly，how to maintainstrength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round﹣trip to Mars．63．What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space？A．Deciding on a proper sleep position．B．Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag．C．Seeking a way to fall asleep quickly．D．Finding a right time to go to sleep．64．The astronauts will suffer from a carbon﹣dioxide headache when？A．they circle around on their bikesB．they use microcomputers without a stopC．Theyexercise in one place for a long timeD．they watch a movie while pedaling65．Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because？A．their senses stop workingB．they have to stand up straightC．they float out of their seats unexpectedlyD．their brains receive contradictory messages66．One of NASA's major concerns about astronauts is．A．how much exercise they do on the stationB．how they can remain healthy for long in spaceC．whether they can recover after returning homeD．whether they are able to go back to the station．67．（8分）Science has a lot of uses．It can uncover laws of nature，cure diseases，make bombs，and help bridges to stand up．Indeed science is so good at what it does that there's always a temptation（诱惑）to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful．David Brooks，author of The Social Animal：The Hidden Sources of Love，Character，and Achievement，appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation．Brooks gained fame for several books．His latest book The Social Animal，however，is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books．It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics．The book focuses on big questions：What has science revealed about human nature？What are the sources of character？And why are some people happy and successful while others aren't？To answer these questions，Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines（学科）．Considering this，you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts．But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox（非常规的），and perhaps unfortunate，way．Instead of introducing scientific theories，he tells a story，within which he tries to make his points，perhaps in order to keep the reader's attention．So as Harold and Erica，the hero and heroine in his story，live through childhood，we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction．Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters．On the whole，Brooks's story is acceptable if uninspired．As one would expect，his writing is mostly clear and，to be fair，some chapters stand out above the rest．I enjoyed，for instance，the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own．While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters，the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie eslewhere．These problems partly involve Brooks's attempt to translate his tale into science．67．The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to．A．illustrate where science can be appliedB．demonstrate the value of Brooks's new bookC．remind the reader of the importance of scienceD．explain why many writers use science in their works68．According to the author，which of the following could be a strength of the book？A．Its strong basis．B．Its convincing points．C．Its clear writing．D．Its memorable characters．69．What is the author's general attitude towards the book？A．Contradictory．B．Supportive．C．Cautious．D．Critical．70．What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph？A．Problems with the book．B．Brooks's life experience．C．Death of the characters．D．Brooks's translation skills．第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分20分）第一节：完成句子（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）阅读下列各小题，根据汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应题号后。

with children with disabilities．I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster．Coming up against their behaviour could only make the job harder and their behaviour more extreme．I found something that worked，though．There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him．One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine．His appearance created an atmosphere of tension．He spent the entire session running around，hitting and kicking，and destroying property．I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co﹣worker told me that this boy's teacher was in tears，and could not get control of the situation．As we were talking，the boy ran in．I told my co﹣worker that I would take care of him．I closed the door．He was full of energy，throwing things around and making a huge mess．But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me．He needed connection，and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it．So I sat back down and kept quiet．Then he slowed down and began making a rocket．I talked to him about it．We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation："So what happened today？"It was purely a question，no blame or anger in my tone．I believe that if I had criticized him，the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed．He told me that the teacher didn't let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked．He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her runaround and saw it as a game．I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset．This again was stated simply as a fact．I suggested that next time he had a session，he talk about what he hoped to do at the start，which might be easier for everyone．He agreed and was quiet for a moment．Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize．51．The boy made trouble for his teacher because he．A．was accused of destroying propertyB．was told not to yell at other childrenC．was made to do things against his willD．was blamed for creating an air of tension52．Why didn't the author do anything about the boy's bad behavior at first？A．She didn't want to make it worse．B．She didn't mind the huge mess at all．C．She was tired of shouting and threats．D．She hadn't thought of a coping strategy．53．The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by．A．playing games with himB．giving him a good suggestionC．describing his teacher's feelingsD．avoiding making critical remarks54．Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end？A．He was sorry about his reputation．B．He was regretful about his behavior．C．He was fearful of the author's warning．D．He was sad for the author's misunderstanding．55．（8分）London's newest skyscraper （摩天大楼）is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build．At a height of almost 310metres，it is the tallestbuilding in Europe．The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London．However，not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better．The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano．When he began designing the Shard for London，Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire （尖顶）．He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city．The sides of the building aren't regular．So the building has an unusual shape．It looks like a very thin，sharp piece of broken glass．And that is how the building got the name：the Shard．Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition．The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts （桅杆）of the ships that were once on the river Thames．The Shard has 87floors．At the top，there is an observatory．At the moment the building is empty，but eventually there will be a five﹣star hotel．There will also be top quality restaurants，apartments and offices．Before building work began，a lot of people didn't want the Shard though the plans were approved．Now they are still unhappy about the Shard．Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York，but not in London．They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape．But that is the only thing．There is no decoration，only flat surfaces．The Egyptians did that 4，500years ago．They also think the Shard is too big for London．It destroys the beauty of the city．Other critics don't like what the Shard seems to represent．They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal．Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel．But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London．So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor．The Shard now dominates the London skyline．It is not certain，however，that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city．55．London's newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of．A．its costB．its sizeC．its shapeD．its height56．When he designed the Shard，Piano wanted it to．A．change London's skylineB．inherit London's traditionC．imitate the Egyptian styleD．attract potential visitors57．The critics who refer to social division think the Shard．A．is only preferred by the richB．is intended for wealthy peopleC．is far away from the poor areaD．is popular only with Londoners58．Which would be the best title for the passage？A．The Shard：Cheers and ClapsB．The Shard：Work of a Great ArchitectC．The Shard：New Symbol of London？D．The Shard：A Change for the Better？59．（8分）Working with a group of baboons （狒狒）in the Namibian desert，Dr．Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology，Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a box．Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task，while others had to learn for themselves．To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were，Dr．Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake．She found that personality had a major impact on learning．The braver baboons learnt，but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did．Ineffect，despite being made aware of what to do，they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did．The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones．The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not，even though they spent more time watching．This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals，something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things．The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive （认知的）tasks not because they aren't clever enough to solve them，but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information．The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning．If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don't associate with the knowledgeable individuals，or they are too shy to use the information once they have it，information may not travel between all group members，preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning．59．What is the first paragraph mainly about？A．The design of Dr．Carter's research．B．The results of Dr．Carter's research．C．The purpose of Dr．Carter's research．D．The significance of Dr．Carter's research．60．According to the research，which baboons are more likely to complete a new learning task？A．Those that have more experience．B．Those that can avoid potential risks．C．Those that like to work independently．D．Those that feel anxious about learning．61．Which best illustrates the"mismatch"mentioned in Paragraph 4？A．Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning．B．Some baboons are shy but active in social activities．C．Some baboons observe others but don't follow them．D．Some baboons perform new tasks but don't concentrate．62．Dr．Carter's findings indicate that our culture might be formed through．A．storing informationB．learning from each otherC．understanding different peopleD．travelling between social groups．63．（8分）You've flown halfway around the world；you've sniffed out this place that nobody in Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever heard of；so what on earth is there to do here？You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand．It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee．By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out，it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland．Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin，about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok，down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand．Not many tourists find this place，and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along．There's an apparent laziness that surrounds you here．It's what this place offers，and it's free of charge．The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down．You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest．You sit there and watch the sea．It's early afternoon，so the cook comes out and asks what you'd like to eat this evening．Before long he's rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered﹣every meal fresh and to order．No menu here．There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm，clear blue sea．There's no street noise．The only sounds are the murmurs of nature．For now you just count your blessings （福祉），listing them in the sand with your toe（脚趾）．You don't have to worry about being late for work．You don't have to do anything．The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon （地平线），slowly narrowing to nothingness only to re﹣emerge again on your left，now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you．Sand to your left and sand to your right；it's unbroken，endless．No start，no end，just sand，sun，and peace．Step off it，and you re﹣enter the world of traffic，stress，work，and hurry．Normally you're the type who can't sit still for more than ten minutes，but you're on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and，in the right frame of mind，it stretches all the way around the world．"How could it take me so long to find it？"you wonder．63．When the author first went to Huaplee Beach，．A．he found it unworthwhileB．he failed to sort himself outC．he became sensitive to smellD．he had difficulty in finding it64．What is special about the food service at Huaplee Beach？A．No menu．B．Free food．C．Self service．D．Quick delivery．65．In the author's opinion，a tourist can enjoy Huaplee Beach most when he．A．sits in a beach chairB．forgets his daily routineC．plans a detailed scheduleD．draws pictures in the sand66．What does the author imply by his question at the end of the passage？A．He shouldn't have counted his blessings．B．He should have understood the wonder of nature．C．He shouldn't have spent so much time on the trip．D．He should have come to the place earlier．67．（8分）For most city people，the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains，jets，and even bicycles．Dr．Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider a misunderstanding．Without the elevator，they point out，there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings，and city life as we know it would be impossible．In that sense，they argue，the elevator's role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars．In fact，according to Wilk，the car and the elevator have been locked in a"secret war"for over a century，with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally （水平地），and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical （垂直的）columns．If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators，it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief，boring，and even awkward experience﹣one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common，and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that we're hanging from a cable in a long passage．In a new book，Lifted，German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience，studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience．"After 150years，we are still not used to it，"Bernard said．"We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure．"That mixture，according to Bernard，sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives．Today，as the world's urban population explodes，and cities become more crowded，taller，and more crowded，America's total number of elevators﹣900，000at last count，according to Elevator World magazine's"2012Vertical Transportation Industry"﹣are a force that's becoming more important than ever．And for the people who really，really love them，it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are．67．What does the underlined word"this"in Paragraph 1refer to？A．The general view of elevators．B．The particular interests of experts．C．The desire for a remarkable machine．D．The enthusiasm for transport vehicles．68．The author's purpose in mentioning cars is．A．to contrast their functions with elevators'B．to emphasize the importance of elevatorsC．to reveal their secret war against elevatorsD．to explain people's preference for elevators69．According to Prof．Bernard，what has made the elevator ride different from other life experiences？A．Vertical direction．B．Lack of excitement．C．Little physical space．D．Uncomfortable conditions．70．The author urges readers to consider．A．the exact number of elevator loversB．the serious future situation of elevatorsC．the role of elevators in city developmentD．the relationship between cars and elevators．第四部分书面表达第一节完成句子（共11小题；每小题2分，满分50分）阅读下列各小题，根据汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应题号后．71．（2分）The community college has to cut down on staff．（save）为了省钱，那所社区学院只好裁员．72．（2分）So far the well﹣known
