I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. But the blind woman smiled and said, “ I don’t want your money. I just want you to help me find the post office.”In a moment, I realized what I had done. I judged another person simply for what I英语试题第 9 页共 37 页guessed she had to be. I hated what I saw in myself. This incident reawakened my belief in humility（谦恭）,even though I’d lost it for a moment.The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant(移民). I left Honduras and arrived in the US at the age of 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister, and a strong, serious-minded mother. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other humble jobs, and finally I became a network engineer.In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice（偏见）. I remember a time, at the age of 17- I worked as a waiter, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. I have also witnessed（当场见到）the same英语试题第 10 页共 37 页treatment of my family and friends, so I know what it’s like, and I should have known better.But now, living in my A American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the street of Washingtoin, D.C. cured me of my blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open. By the way, I helped that lady to the post office. And in writing this article, I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.24. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. The author regretted his act of prejudice.B. The blind woman needed the money badly.C. The author was as poor as the blind woman.D. The author was a native American25. According to Paragraph 4, hearing the father’s words, the author was probably .A. very excitedB. deeply movedC. greatly inspiredD. rather hurt26. Which opinion does the author probably agree with?A. One should try to experience different kinds of life.B. One should treat others equally with love and respect.C. One should think about one’s past as often as possible.D. One should be nice to the elderly and thedisabled.27. What can be the best title of the passage?A. How my dream comes trueB.A belief that will never changeC. A priceless lesson on the streetD. Learn from your pastCRobots and humans will soon be living in harmony（和睦）. A singing robot is being taught to create jazz with a human in a project.Antonio Chella from Italy is working with a Telenoid robot. To start with, the Telenoid will be trained to follow the movements and simple sounds made by a human singer, and to connect music with different emotional states. Chella then plans to see if the robot can use these connections to create music.Intelligence is often regarded as the abilityto find connections between the existing things. But Chella suggests that a conscious(有意识的) creature should be able to go a step further and introduce new connections at result in the creation of something new.Some jazz musicians say that they should have a mental library of musical phrases so that they are able to combine them in new ways. More importantly, however, this combination happens in a state that is similar in a sense to dreaming. Chella wants to copy these states in a machine.“This work raises interesting questions about the link between consciousness and music making,” says Philippe Pasquier, a a musician and computer scientist. But he is skeptical about whether a robot musician needs a physical body.Pasquier argues that the robots are facedwith two challenges(挑战). Software that can copy Bach has already been developed. But interpretation（演绎）includes human’s different tastes and judgments. “What made the Beatles famous was not so much their works, but the fact that the interpretations of the works were wonderful,” he says.It is not yet clear how a robot would go about interpreting music in a new way. But by copying humans and then learning to sing, Chella’s r obot could provide clues.What seems to be important is that human composers often listen to lots of music made by others. So Chella;s robot had better listen to those jazz standards first.28. Which of the following is the robot’s first step before it tries to create jazz?A. Connecting actions with human’s emotions.B. Copying a human singer’s movements and sounds.C. Learning to communicate with human beings freely.D. Living with human beings in harmony.29. The underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 5 could be replaced by ““.A. worriedB. certainC. concernedD. doubtful30. What can we know about the robots like Telenoid from the text?A. They can talk with researchers.B. They are faced with two challenges.C. They will become human singers.D. They are household robots.31. What can be concluded(推断出) from the text?A. How to interpret jazz is a piece of cake for Chella’s robot.B. A new kind of software should be developed to copy Bach.C. Chella’s robot should listen to much jazz to create something new.D. Chella’s robot needs a physical body to make music.DThere are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外部的，表面的)result or a product that can easily be identified and measured．The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts．By contrast , the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine,since it is a journey and not the specific signposts(路标) or landmarks along the way．The process is not the road itself, but the attitudes, feelings people have , and th eir caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties．In this process, the journey never really ends；there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept．In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first．How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow．Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences．Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear cancause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow to adapt change or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge．Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all．These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow．If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making．32. In the author’s eye, one who views personal growth as a process would ______．A. grow up from his own achievementsB. aim high and reach his goal each timeC. face difficulties and take up challengesD. succeed in climbing up the social ladder33. For personal growth, the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT ______．A. staying away from failures andchallengesB. being quick in self-adaptationC. having an open mind to new experiencesD. being curious about more changes34. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. It is not so difficult to measure personal growth．B. To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is avoidable．C. There are only two ways to see a person’s growth．D. If you are too shy to take any risks in life, you cannot grow up．35.The best title for this passage should be ______．A. Overcoming Internal FearsB. Two Basic Ways of GrowthC. Growth—Product or ProcessD. Facing New Challenges第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

B Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on.8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Albans, a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his Class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics, and then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology. As he himself admitted, he didn't work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got high marks. It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came out. Hawking had motor neuron disease, an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before 23. At first, Hawking became very depressed. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, “Before my illness was diagnosed, I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do.” Then Hawking got married and found a job at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believed that his story showed that nobody, how hard their situation is, should lose hope. “Life is not fair,” He once said. “You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.”

He was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap! Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse declared the warning, “There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in t he house.”The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said,“Mr Mouse, I can tell you this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me, I cannot be bothered by it.”The mouse turned to the pig and told him, “There is a mouse t rap in the house.”“I am so sorry, Mr Mouse,” sympathized the pig, “but there is nothing I can do about it but pray; be assure d that you are in my prayers.”The mouse turned to the cow, who replied, “A mouse trap, am I in grave danger, huh?”So the mouse returned to the house, head down and depress ed to face the farmer’s mouse trap alone.That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a mouse trap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did notsee that it was an evil snake whose tail the trap had caught. T he snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the h ospital. She returned home with a fever. Now everyone knew to treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient. His wif e’s sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butche red the pig. The farmer’s wife did not get well, in fact, she died , and so many people came for her funeral. The farmer had th e cow slaughtered to provide meat for all of them to eat.So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem a nd think that it does not concern you, remember that when the least of us is threatened, we are all at risk.21. We may infer that the passage is most probably a ______.A. fairy taleB. fableC. science fictionD. news report22. We could see from the passage that the mouse was ____ __.A. kind and warm-heartedB. well-informedC. good at cheating othersD. foolish and rude23.

The underlined word “ingredient” (Paragraph 7) refers to ______.A. the mouseB. the pigC. the snakeD. the chickenBIt might sound unbelievable that two kids under the age of ten would choose to hang out at a hotel instead of going to Disne y World, just minutes away, but that’s exactly what happened when we visited the new Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Wa lt Disney World Resort last month. What kind of a hotel makes kids forget about Disney World?Check In: As I was signing the necessary paperwork at the fro nt desk, my kids were taken away by Wayne, the receptionist, to a large interactive map of the resort in the entrance hall. u sed the touch screen to show the kids the entire resort and tal ked about all ofthe fun things to do, like the kid’s club, the waterslides, and the game room. I’ve never seen so much attention paid to the kids at check-in — such a cool touch.The Room: Not only were there kid-sized robes in the room, there were play things, NatGeo Kids magazines, chocolate lollypops, and milk chilling in the refrige rator. Plus, the room was designed from a family perspective. The sinks and shower settings were easily reachable, and the king bed and very comfortable sofa pull-out could easily fit a family of four, if not five. We had plenty of room.The Pools: There’s a large shallow infinity pool. There’s a me andering lazy river. There’s a water park. There’s an area for pool volleyball and basketball. And there are two very fun wat erslides. We spent many hours roaming among them all, and j ust hanging out in a private teepee-shaped cabana next to the waterslides. So fun!No Surcharges: There’s no resort fee. If you want to use one of the cool cabanas around the pools, it’s included. For the kid s club, you can use it as much or as little as you want to and t he Hideout game room has a lot of activities, like pinball, at no cost. We took advantage of pretty much everything around th e hotel except for the spa, and our final bill only showed our r oom charges, taxes, and meals. And if my kids were still under five, their meals would have been free.25. The passage is written by the author mainly to ________.A. advertise a hotel at Walt Disney World ResortB. introduce the good service Walt Disney providesC. recall the experience that they once had in a hotelD. share information about a hotel near Disney World26. Customers don’t need to pay for ________ when they stay in the hotel.A. cool cabanasB. roomsC. the spaD. taxes27. What can we learn from the passage?A.The hotel isn’t an ideal choice for a family of more than four.B. The two kids of the author should have been over five year s old.C. The author spent hours playing pool volleyball and basketb all.D. The receptionist showed children around Disney World Re sort.CThe terrible college entrance exam is not only a big challenge for Chinese high school students, but also a very i mportant exam in the lives of South Korean students.Although the long, cold winter has already started in South K orea, the annual (一年一度的) national exams have made the atmosphere very heated. More than 675,000 South Korean high school graduates took the college entrance exam last Wednesday. They usually tak e exams in Korean, maths, sociology (社会学), history and foreign languages.Officially there is one college place for every 1.33 students. B ut because all the students want to go to the top universities in the country, the competition can reach one place for 10 stu dents. The students want to attend these colleges for both the ir famous names and better job opportunities.Because students face fierce competition, they have to study very hard to realize their dreams. Park Seung said he and his classmates often go to school before 7:30 am. After school ha s finished at 6:30 pm, most of them go to the library to continu e their study instead of returning home. Since many libraries i n are open 24 hours a day, they often stay long into the night. Many of the Senior 3 students only sleep for three to four hou rs a day.“I feel a lot of pressure，but I have to study very hard in order to make my dream com e true. This is my lifetime goal and it will be a turning point in my life which could decide mThe exam day is a very serious day for the whole of . Vehicles are not allowed within a 200-metre radius (范围) of allthe test sites to make sure the students have quiet surroundin gs. Tooting (吹奏) of horns is forbidden, even airplanes are ordered to avoid l anding and take-off near the test sites during listening comprehension test hou rs.Students are told their scores in December before they apply for college. This is followed by face-to-face oral tests. There are public and private universities in . M any private universities are well-known, but their fees can be 18, 000 yuan each term. This ha s made a lot of students think again.28. In South Korean ________.A. there is only one collegeB. there is only one top collegeC. there are only top universitiesD. there are a nu mber of colleges29. We can infer that there are almost ________ college places for high school graduates.A. 675, 000B. 507, 520C. 500, 000D. 600, 00030. Airplanes are not permitted to land near the test sites ____ ____.A. when the test begins B. when the test is going onC. during some period of the testD. during the tests31.

The study's lead author, Erica Kenney, at first planned to look into the amount of sugary drinks kids were drinking in schools. However, during her research she found that many ki ds were simply not drinking enough waterKenney and her team examined data from a group of 4,000 c hildren, aged 6 to19, between the years of 2009 and 2012. Th e data was taken from the National Health and Nutrition Survey,a study on the health of children in the conducted each yea r by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.While looking through the survey results, she noticed that more than half of the kid who took part in the study were dehy drated (脱水的). Of' that group, boys were 76% more likely than girls not to have enough water in their system. Nearly one quarter of the kids in the survey reported drinking no plain water at all. .“These findings highlight(突出) a possible health issue that wasn't given a lot of attention i n the past," Kenney said in a statement. “Even though for mos t of these kids this is not an immediate and great health threat , this is an issue that could really be reducing quality of life an d well-being for many children and youth."The United States-National Agriculture Library says average kids need between 10 to 14 cups of water every day. This water can come from a mix of drinks and foods that contain high amounts of water, s uch as celery, melons or tomatoes. It is also recommended that flui ds（液体）come from water instead of sugary drinks that are high in calo ries and can lead to weight problems.32 What was Erica Kenney's purpose in doing the study?A.

AThere is a bar in our town with the name “The White Horse”. It 's Mr. Webster's. Few people went to the bar last year, but thi ngs are quite different now.There was a picture of a white horse on the door of the bar. T hen a stranger came in one day, drank something, looked aro und the bar and then said to Mr. Webster "Few people come here. Take down the picture of the white horse and put on a pi cture of a black horse instead.""But the name of the bar is ‘The White Horse’.” Mr. Webster s aid."Yes, but do it." The man said. Then he went out of the bar.[] Mr. Webster went to an artist and said, "I want a picture of a b lack horse."The next day a picture of a black horse was on the door of the bar instead of that of the white horse. Soon after the door op ened, a man came in and said, "There is a mistake on the doo r of your bar, and the picture is different from the name." The man looked, sat down and drank something.Then another man came in and said the same, and then anot her and another. A lot of people came in and said "The pictur e on your door is wrong." And they all stopped and drank in M r. Webster's bar.1. The stranger told Mr. Webster to take down the picture of t he white horse because he knew ________.A. people would come in and tell the picture was different from the nameB. the picture of the white horse wasn't good for the barC. people would understand the picture different from the nam eD. a picture of a black horse showed good luck2. Mr. Webster agreed with the stranger ________.A. because he knew he was an artistB. though he didn't like the black horseC. though he wasn't ready to do it at firstD. because he want ed to change the picture3. More and more people came to the bar because ________.A. it had changed its nameB. they wanted to show t he mistakeC. the bar had a black horseD. the black horse was bet ter than the white one4. From the story we have learned that ________.A. if your business isn't good, you'd better change the name o r the pictureB. when you have difficulty, don't give upC. if you are in trouble, you should take others' ideasD. when a good name is given, it can cause successBWhy do people lie? A person lies to get himself out of a difficu lt or stressful situation or he lies to gain some benefits. So ho w should we go about recognizing those common indications(暗示) that someone is lying? Let's begin.Scratching(抓，挠) the neck，throat or mouth. When a person tells lies，he will put himself under pressure and this tends to heat up th e whole body. In order to release this heat，the liar will start to scratch his body to release the heat. Shaking of a leg or a foot. When telling a lie，a person controls his facial expression because he knows that the other person is looking at his face. However，when one is totally focused on controlling the upper body，the lower body will get out of control，which is an indication of lying.Eye direction. When a person is trying to answer a hard quest ion，usually the eyes will be looking to the left to recall things from his memory. When one cannot find the answer，the eyes will shift to look at the right which indicates that he is constructing something that is usually a lie.For more techniques to become a more effective communicator，please refer to other articles on this website.5.The writer wrote this passage to ________.A．tell us how to detect lies through body languageB．tell us the importance of detecting liesC．prove that lies can be easily detectedD．explain why people tell lies6．According to the writer，the liar will start to scratch his body because ________.

However, scientists who study the brain have learned many interesting things from studying the brains of daydreamers. Far from being a waste of time, recent research has shown that daydreaming is a healthy and useful activity for all of our brains.To study the brain, scientists use special devices that scan the brain and show pictures of which parts of the brain are active at certain times. When a person is daydreaming, the device will show a distinct pattern of activity in the brain called the “default” mode of thinking. In the default mode, the top or outside part of the brain is very active. Actually, several regions of the brain are interacting in this mode. Some scientists describe this mode as a time when the brain focuses on itself rather than focusing on the environment around the person. Typically, this occurs when a person is doing simple, undemanding work or performing routine ac tions that don’t need much attention, like walking to school or cooking simple foods. People tend to daydream during such activities.The importance of daydreaming lies in developing both creative and social skills. When the mind is not engaged in dealing with one’s immediate situation or problem, then it is free to wander. A time of wandering allows the mind to create things. New inventions may be imagined, or possible solutions to a problem can be planned. For example, solutions to problems in relationships with other people may spring to mind. In fact, most daydreams involve situations with others. Perhaps these are daydreams based on past memories, or daydreams of what might be in the future. In either case, daydreams help us develop the appropriate skills we can use in real interactions with others.As brain specialist Dr. Marcus Raichle of Washington University explains: “When you don’t use a muscle, that muscle really isn’t doing much. But when your brain is supposedly doing nothing and daydreaming, it’s really doing a great amount.” During the so-called “resting state” the brain isn’t resting at all!14. Which question does the passage mainly focus on?A. Can daydreams reduce the hours we sleep?B. How is daydreaming different from sleeping?C. What is the right way to daydream?D. Why is daydreaming good for people?15. Which of the following is NOT involved in daydreaming?A. One’s immediate environment.B. Several regions of the brain.C. The “default” mode of thinking.D. The outside part of the brain.16. What does the brain focus on in the default mode?A. A person’s immediate situation.B. Appropriate relationships.C. The brain itself.D. Routine actions.17. Which statement would Dr. Raichle agree with?A. The brain develops one’s m uscles.B. The brain and our muscles both need rest.C. The brain is a lot like a muscle.D. The brain is different from a muscle.CWhen I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor of the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University(SMU) in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn’t affo rd the operation because her family was poor.Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas. She was cleaning out the attic(阁楼) one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript(手稿). On its top page were the words, “By O. Henry.” It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Galveston boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henry’s.My father then set out to sell it. Eventually, he found himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loved the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about. But I doubt that it could have been better than his own story.18. Who found the O. Henry’s manuscript?A. The girl’s mother.B. The author’s father.C. The girl.D. The author.19. Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic?A. O. Henry once worked in Houston.B. O. Henry once stayed in Galveston.C. O. Henry once moved to Des Moines.D. O. Henry once taught at SMU.20. The underlined word “authenticated” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. treatedB. discoveredC. provedD. described21. According to the text, why did the author’s father go to Des Moines?A. To sell the O. Henry story.B. To meet the author himself.C. To talk with the O. Henry expert.D. To give money to the girl.DI am sure we’ve all come across inspiring quotes that made us nod in agreement or made us think, “Wow, that’s good quotes”. But we end up going back to procrastinating（拖延）on whatever it was we were procrastinating on. So are these inspirational quotes even worth reading? Well, that depends.Quotes, books, articles, audio programs… all of these things are just tools and they’re only effective when you use them. I don’t know about you but most quotes I read don’t do anything for me. However, every now and then, I will come across one that will positively affect me in some way such as reminding me to be grateful, getting me to work out extra hard at the gym without being pressed by my wife, or never give up when things get tough.From my experience, reading quotes is more effective when you’re actually trying to motivate yourself rather than just reading them for the sake of reading them. The second you feel the urge to take action, you’d better immediately get up off your chair and take action.These quotes aren’t for everyone. If you have read tons of them and have never been motivated or had a positive change in the way you look at life or how you treat others, or these quotes don’t help you to insist on doing something when you feel like giving up on it, then it’s probably not worth your time reading more of them. If you have done something a bunch of times and it’s not giving you the results you want, don’t keep doing it. Try something else.Now if you’ve found some value in reading these quotes in the past, continue to make them more effective by letting them guide your life.22. What attitude does the author have towards most quotes he has read?A. Negative.B. Grateful.C. Doubtful.D. Interested23. For whom will the quotes be effective according to the author?A. Those who understand them thoroughly.B. Those who lack practical tools in life.C. Those who have no one to turn to for help.D. Those who take immediate action after reading them.24. What is implied in Paragraph 4?A. Some quotes may have a bad influence on people.B. You shouldn’t waste time on the things you don’t like.C. Many ways can motivate you besides reading inspiring quotes.D. You’d better keep away from a quote if it doesn’t benefit you.25. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To persuade people not to waste time on quotes.B. to explain how to make inspiring quotes effective.C. to encourage people to read more inspiring quotes.D. to give people advice on how to choose useful quotes.第二节选句填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
