（共20小题，每小题2分，共40分）AIt was such an extremely freezing day that I decided to get a cup of hot drinking first after work. As my colleague, Ricky, and I were making our way to a coffee shop, I noticed an old gen tlema n rather poorly dressed sitt ing on a bench n earby. Obviously he was froze n, seem in gly one of the homeless or some one like that.We joined the line and waited to be served. Ricky handed the server a twenty-dollar bill, ordered three cups of hot coffee, and gestured the sever to give one to the old gen tlema n outside on the bench as a favour. The server looked at Ricky, a little perplexed, without full comprehe nsion of the request. Afterwards, there was a won derful excha nge betwee n the server and the old man in n eed of some atte nti on. I only wish I had take n a photo of the smiles on the both faces.As I was thinking about this eve nt later on, I won dered to myself why Ricky did n ' t perform this act of kindn ess himself. I suspect that deep dow n in his heart he was hop ing that this act of kindn ess might in spire others to do someth ing for this older man as well. Absolutely beautiful!There are many ways of thinking whe n we met some one as the old man in n eed of kindness and attention. Perhaps he needs a little helping hand and thank God for my colleague who in spired the others to good ness as well. Oh, by the way, the last words Ricky told the server was, “ Thego I, but for the Grace of God. ”31. What was the author's impressi on of the old gen tlema n?A. He was a greedy man.B. He took on a sig n of poor mann ers.C. He was in poor health.D. He n eeded some kind of huma n care.32. The underlined word perplexed”n the 1st paragraph probably means “________ ”.A. anno yedB. con fusedC. embarrassedD. determ ined33. Why didn 'Ricky give the favour to the old gentleman himself?A. He didn 'tknow the old gentleman.B. He was too shy to speak to stra ngers.C. He tried to in flue nee others to be kind.D. He feared the old man would refuse his help.34. What the author really thi nks absolutely beautiful is that ______ .A. an act of kindn ess could go widespreadB. a cup of coffee could warm the old manC. the server was very ki nd to customersD. Ricky had created good impressi onsBDear Pare nt,I have experie nee with pare nts who are over protective, always wan ti ng to know every stepthat their child makes no matter where they are.I know a pare nt who drove her kid almost mad with how protective she was. The pare nt would not let her child do any thi ng without her. She would always want to be with her child no matter what he was doin g. If thes house, sh child wan ted to stay the ni ght at a friendno. And now her child gets more anno yed with his pare nt tha n anything else. It is tough havi ng an over-protective pare nt.But being a protective pare nt can be a good thing. Wan ti ng to know where your kids are is just an in sti net, someth ing that comes by n ature. But it becomes over protective whe n some one pare nt is calli ng him or her 20 times a day just to see what he or she is doing. Pare nts like this aren ' t really like pents. They are more like prison guards with their child being the prisoner.Having a prison guard for a child is a torture . The only thing the child can do is sit at home. Parents like this won ' t let their children do anything. They sometimes allow themdut withfrien ds. But they have to be with them on dates and will not even let them out of their sight. With parents like this, it makes the kids feel like they have to escape just to have their own life outside of their pare nts.Wanting to protect a child is just someth ing that comes with the job of being a pare nt, but being so protective to the point that you would put a tracking chip（芯片）in your child is horrible.Si ncerely, Over-protected child35. In the first two paragraphs, the author tries to _______ .A. tell pare nts to stop their practices of over con trolB. make pare nts see if it is good to over con trol kidsC. tell his/her pers onal stories of being overprotectedD. show pare nts what it is like to be overprotected36. If a pare nt keeps track of the child by call ing one or two times, it can be see n as _____ .A. overprotectiveB. con siderateC. unconcernedD. un reas on able37. When a child has a torture from pare ntal overprotecti on, he or she probably ______ .A. men tally and physically suffersB. drops out of schoolC. academically and morally failsD. ends up in pris on38. What' s the main message for parents in this letter?A. Being overprotective is good for their children.B. Childre n should not be allowed to go out on their own.C. Children don ' t want toatched all the time.D. Pare nts should leave their childre n completely alone.CIf you have a private car, there may be opportunities to do more than just drive around where you live. You n eed to work out the details for a long trip. Any where you go, your end goal is to arrive safely and in good time at your destination. You might be very annoyed if your car breaks dow n or you experie nee some emerge ncy, particularly if it could have bee n preve nted. So if you want to have a smooth trip, these tips can be helpful.Firstly, it is best to guarantee that your car is running properly and doesn ' re quire any generalmaintenance （维修）.Be certain to set up any needed service in advanee so it can be completed before your trip.It is additi on ally importa nt to have what you may n eed if you meet car trouble along the way. For example, will you remember to check the air pressure in your spare tire when you check the four tires currently on your vehicle? It should be adequately inflated （鼓起的）so you could drive on it if something happens to one of the other tires.If you need to fix your car during the trip, you should have the right equipment with you and be able to use it. There are of course other mecha nical problems that you simply don how to deal with. It might be wise to have con tact in formatio n for towi ng （拖车）services and roadside assista nee readily available in case of emerge ncy.For a family trip, be equipped for unexpected interruptions. When you have kids, it is essential to have things available for them to do as well as food and drink. Remember to have everything packed, also including a first aid bag in case of any minor injuries or sickness. In cold weather, you should have extras like bla nkets to keep you warm if you get stuck.39. Why do you have to get adequately prepared for your long car trip?A. To avoid break ing traffic laws.B. To make the travel trouble-free.C. To reduce the cost on the trip.D. To behave n ormally as drivers.40. Before start ing the trip, you must make sure ______ .A. your car is in perfect con diti onB. your car n eeds gen eral maintenanceC. you have long trip drivi ng experie neeD. your passe ngers liste n to you41. When you can ' t man age a ssdrvice for your car, you ' d best ______ .A. borrow convenient equipme ntB. review the service docume ntsC. i nform the in sura nee compa nyD. seek n earest roadside assista nee42. From the last two paragraphs we can infer that ______ .A. you ' ve got to learn how to fix a carebore starting a long tripB. most long dista nee trips are dan gerous in one way or ano therC. children need more than just food and drink for a long tripD. it is not a good idea to take kids with you on a long tripDFor some reason we are reminded that we primates （灵长目动物）need love. Kim Bard and her colleagues carried out a study on 46 chimpanzee （大猩猩）orphans, which had lost their mothers. The study showed that primate babies that had tight relati on ships with mother figures did much better on cognitive （认知） tests than babies who only grew up with fellows, but this is not breaking news. In fact, it 's old news.In the 1950s, Harry Harlow did a series of experiments with baby monkeys, which showed that lack of love and comfort would make for a crazy monkey. Harlow made a cage that included a wire monkey “ mother ”with a plastic face. Then he equipped the “ mother ” with a milk The cage also had another wire “ mother ” who was covered with soft cloth. The baby monkeys spent all their time with the cloth “ mother ” and only went to the wire “ mother ”Harlow 'ms onkey experiment was important because, at the time, childcare experts, and everybody'grsandmother had a “ notouch, no comfort ”policy toward children. They advised parents not to respond to crying babies. They thought that babies should sleep alone to become independent. But Harlow 's work changed that policy. Mothers were soon allowed to have their babies next to them in the hospital.The current chimpanzees research based on Harlow 'wsork shows that mother s'lovedoesn ' t just make for a psychologically心理）healthy child, it also makes for a smart child. The highly raised chimpanzees do better than those that are not loved, and the well-raised chimpanzees do even better than human kids on IQ tests.We are social animals which need love. We need to be held and talked to and made to feel that at least one person wants to be with us all the time.43. Through the study, Kim Bard concluded that ______ .A. lack of mother love affects a child 's mental growthB. mother love improves a child 's physical developmentC. chimpanzees do better than monkeys in IQ testsD. mother love helps raise a more independent child44. In Harlow 's experiment, the baby monkeys _________ .A. stay more often with the wire “mother ” with milkB. are emotionally attached to the clothed wire “mother ”C. refuse to take the two wire s”“ams orethael rmothersD. respond in the same way to both wire “mothers ”45. What shows Harlow 's experiment changed the childcare policy?A. Babies ' separation form mothers.B. A “no touch, no comfort ” policy.C. Babies stayed with their mothers.D. Grandmothers replaced mothers.46. The current research on chimpanzees further proved that mother love ______ .A. is not needed by everybodyB. contributes to overweightC. prevents independenceD. helps babies in more than one wayEYou have to read “between the lines ” to get the most out of anything. I mean you need to “write between the lines. ” Marking up a book is an act of love. You shouldn 't ma which isn 't yours. Librarians or your friends who lend you books expect you to keep them clean,and you should. If you decide that I am right about the usefulness of marking books, you will have to buy them. Most of the world ' s great books are available today, in reprint editions, at less than a dollar.There are two ways one can own a book. The first is the property right you establish bypaying for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. But this act of purchase is only the first step to possession. Full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself, and the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it. An example may make the point clear. You buy a bee fsteak and get it from the butcher -box to'yosuircoewn. But you do not own thebeefsteak in the most important sense until you eat it and get it into your blood. I am arguing that books, too, must be absorbed in your blood to do you any good.Confusion about what it means to own a book leads people to a false respect for paper, cover, and type —a respect for the physical thing —the art of the printer rather than the wisdom of the author. They forget that it is possible for a man to get the idea, to possess the beauty, which a great book contains, without signing his name on the cover. Having a fine library doesn ' t prove that its owner has a mind enriched by books; it proves nothing more than that he, his father, or his wife, was rich enough to buy them.47. In the beginning, the author advises readers to _____ .A. borrow a bookB. purchase a bookC. keep clean a bookD. write in a book48. According to the author, real ownership of a book comes to you when you have ______ .A. paid for itB. signed your name on itC. really learned from itD. borrowed it from a friend49. Marking up a book is a sign that _____ .A. you understand it and have it do good to youB. you have its ownership and the right to mark itC. you don ' t have the habit to keep it cleanD. you aren ' t aware of the writer ' s wisdom50. What does the author discuss in the last paragraph?A. The process of printing a book.B. The meaning of owning a book.C. The wisdom of writing a book.D. The value of buying a book.第二节根据对话内容，从对话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。
