Ever since she and Dad had retired and moved to their 37 farm, she’d been working in ceramics (陶艺). One of her 38 pieces was an 18-inch Christmas tree, decorated with 39. “It looks great,” she told me on the phone. “Can’t wait to show you.”

We had to drive about 2.5 hours to reach their home after they moved, and that day my husband Jim and I were going to visit. She was 40 about our drive. “Be sure to bring an emergency kit,” Mom said. “The forecast calls for snow. Maybe even a(n) 41 snow fall.”

Jim tried to joke about our situation, trying to 50 the tension. “It feels like we’ve been driving around in circles in this pasture (牧场) for 20 minutes,” he said. But I was too 51 to be in the mood for humour.

We drove 52 for a while, not knowing where we were. Then Jim pointed out the windshield. “See those bright lights? That must be a town. I don’t remember any town out here, 53 I’m going to head for it.”

We continued driving until we 54 the lights. Jim stopped the car. It wasn’t a town at all.

第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2 分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Ronit Subramanian was seven years old and he was the tallest student in his class. It made him feel very proud. But when he remembered some of the things he used to do as a small kid, he felt a little shy. He wished his mother would not tell those stories to her friends again and again.

Last week his mother’s old school friend came to see her. It was their meeting after 10 years. Ronit was just back from school but his ears pricked up when he heard his mother say in that silly tone, “You know what my Ronit used to do as a baby? He used to think everything and everyone was a part of the Subramanian family. So he would call the doggy Subramanian.” Ronit heard his mother’s friend say, “Oh!” Then he ran out of the house. “I wish mother would not do these things,” he said for the thousandth time.

That evening his mother showed him the toys and games her friend had got for him. One stuffed dolphin and a game of blocks. Ronit got out of control, “These are kids toys and games. I am a big boy now. My hero is Spiderman. That’s the toy I want for my birthday this year. Spiderman and the spray (喷雾液体) that makes the spider web.”

“Are you saying you no longer want your favourite stuffed toy? Pepper doggy?” Ronit’s mother asked. “No kids toys, I don’t want kids toys and games any more. I am a BIG BOY,” Ronit shouted.

A month later, Ronit’s parents bought him a Spider-man T-shirt and trousers, a shiny Spiderman toy and a glove with a spray bottle attached to it for his eighth birthday. “Wear the glove and then press the spray button. It will make a web pattern on th e wall,” Ronit’s father said. Ronit, and even his father, were so excited with the spray that they played it again and again to see who could make a bigger web! There was even a Spiderman cake.

Ronit went to sleep with the Spiderman toy. You see he had decided he no longer wanted his favourite stuffed toy, Pepper doggy.

As soon as his head hit the pillow Ronit fell asleep. He now slept in a room of his own. A room with sunny yellow walls. But until yesterday, he had gone to sleep with Pepper doggy. The softness of the toy always made him happy. But Spiderman was a metal toy. It was cold to touch. At night, as Ronit’s blanket slipped down the bed, the cold metal of Spiderman touched him. Ronit dreamt that he was being chased by icy monsters who were out to freeze him into a statue. In his dream he shouted for Pepper. Not finding Pepper, Ronit woke up screaming and crying.

His mother heard him crying and came into his room. “I want Pepper. He is my friend. Big boys also have doggy friends,” cried Ronit. Pe pper has crept back into Ronit’s bed. Every night, Ronit and Pepper have a new adventure. In his dreams, Ronit sees Pepper in a Spiderman outfit. Isn’t that cool?

We can make all the jokes that we want to about sponge baths (擦浴), but if we are ever ill in bed and can’t get up, we will be thankful for the nurse who helps us get clean. While I am not a nurse, and have never given anyone a sponge bath, I would imagine that it would take a lot of kindness, warmth and patience to do so.

Yet those who attended the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems Conference last month in China were introduced to Cody, a robot that performed sponge baths. The short robot can move freely in all directions. It has two “human” arms, and flexible “wrists”. It uses a camera and laser (激光) range finder to locate parts of the human body. It then uses bath gloves to clean with little pressure.

The robot was designed at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Charles Kemp of

the Healthcare Robotics Lab in the US is the senior researcher for the project. In a test run, Cody was able to remove 96% of a test subject’s dirt — not bad for a robot.

But don’t go requesting Cody yet —he’s still a model. Yet researchers believe that one day Cody may take the place of nurses for this work. Researchers say that Cody will afford patients dignity and protect their privacy. I suppose that would satisfy most patients. I am sure the robot wouldn’t make all patients feel satisfied. Even so, I can appreciate the need.

We don’t have enough nurses to go around, and in some places there aren’t enough nursing staff. For example, nursing homes are those that have the most patients who are unable to bathe themselves. Still, before robots get there, I hope they think of a better way.

64. According to the passage, the author thinks ________.

A. a nurse’s job is of great importance

B. few people like doing a nurse’s job

C. a nurse’s job doesn’t need skills

D. anyone can do a nurse’s job

65. We can learn from the passage that ________.

A. Cody wears two gloves while working

B. Cody performed sponge baths in Japan

C. Cody can clean all the dirt of the patient

D. Cody’s wrists can’t bend

66. Why does the author think patients may be satisfied with the robot?

A. The robot is able to wash them much cleaner.

B. The robot is able to make them more relaxed.

C. The robot is very humorous and can make them happy.

D. The robot helps them keep their self-respect and doesn’t let out their secrets.

D

Brian and Martha were classmates in their high school. While Brian was considered the most popular student for his friendliness, Martha was not popular but

she was a very smart student with high hopes for her future. Years later, Martha is a lawyer; however, she still has a problem with building relationships. Though she is professionally sound, not many of her clients like her and she is still single. On the other hand, Brian is a happily married man and running his own business. He did not go to college but is happy and content with his life and he is welcomed by all the people around him. Martha is intelligent but her lack of Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a hindrance to her being a popular lawyer while Brian, with an average IQ, is happy and successful in life because of his excellent EI skills.

EI, is a term that descri bes the ability to recognize, assess and manage one’s emotions and react appropriately to others.

Hiring the right person with the right skill is of concern for head hunters. Nowadays, the hiring process has become increasingly complicated (复杂的); companies not only focus on the hard skills (e.g. technical skills, work experience and education) but also personality features. Qualities like stress management and assertiveness (果断自信) skills are important factors in success.

Ever since the researchers found out that those with high EI are more successful, the importance of EI in the workplace has been accepted. Since the workplace includes groups of people with various ideas, a higher EI is necessary to achieve goals. Good management of emotions improves the quality of our decisions. People with high EI are the best performers, have high levels of ability to create good relationships with others and thus are more satisfied at work. Emotionally balanced employees are self-confident, optimistic and good at managing disagreements and stress.

Unlike IQ which does not change after our teens, EI can continue to grow and develop as it is largely a learned skill.

67. Which of the following statements about Brian and Martha is TRUE?

A. Both are greatly liked by the people around them.

B. Brian has higher EI while Martha has higher IQ.

C. Martha has higher EI while Brian has higher IQ.

D. Brian is single while Martha is happily married.

68. The examples of Brian and Martha are used to show that _______.

A. intelligence plays no role in people’s success

B. EI determines whether you are successful or not

C. EI is very important to people’s success

D. different people have different abilities

69. The underlined word “hindrance” in the first paragr aph refers to _______.

A. something that is very popular

B. something that is very stressful

C. something that helps you to achieve your goal

D. something that makes it difficult to achieve your goal

70. Emotional Intelligence refers to people’s a bility to _______.

A. get respect and love from all the people around them

B. pretend to be happy all the time though they don’t feel so

C. manage their own emotions and react appropriately to others

D. assess their emotions and say “yes” to people on all occasions

第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

To take control of your life, recognize that habits are response (响应) patterns to situations. If you are a smoker, you reach for a cigarette when the coffee is served, but not during the soup. You don’t smoke or even don’t want to in church, in the theater, in a courtroom, or in other places where no one usually smokes. Given the right conditions, you will light up.

In order to break a habit, then, you must recognize that you must deal with the source of satisfaction — that is, you must change your ways and give up the real or imagined benefits; you must be aware of what you are doing, and you must consider the situation that has become associated with the habit.

A number of methods for habit breaking have been proposed by therapists (治疗学家) working from different points of view. Here I will review some of them and recommend the one that I believe is the most effective.

One method for habit breaking is through practice. This is repeating a habit over and over again until you are totally bored with it. This method can be used when you seem to be unaware of when or why you are doing something. This process calls attention to the situations involved, which makes them recognizable so that preventive action can be taken.

Another method that can be used is the decreasing gradually method. This is a long-term process and works only if you are seriously interested in breaking the habit. If the habit is related to a serious problem such as heart disease, your will to break the habit that contributed to the problem.

Another method is to quit the addiction. You may experience stress with this approach or you may perhaps experience some joy out of being able to make such a complete break. This is not a method, but a decision that you make and are willing to stick with despite the possible discomfort that you will experience.

Finally, in my judgment the best way to break any habit is to follow the five main points:

1. Recognize that the habit is a strong urge that is rooted in deeper psychological problems.

2. Keep a record of urges and count the number of times that you actually give in to them.

3. Develop an awareness of the chain of events that leads to or results in the unwanted behavior.

4. Learn relaxations methods as a means of preventing the urges.

5. Replace a response that is incompatible (不一致的) with the unwanted behavior.

If you really desire to quit any habit and take control of your life, this five easy steps really work.

Hi, Jack，

I think what you are worrying about is not a big problem. When students move between classes, old friendships often suffer as new ones seem to take their places. But it isn’t always the case. If you truly value the friendship, you should be able to make an effort to promote it. There is nothing to stop you spending time with your friend. Find him or her during the breaks between lessons or at some other time. Explain that you feel as if the two of you are growing apart and that you don’t want this to happen. He or she will most probably be very touched by this and try to promote the relationship. If he or she feels the same way, you can arrange more time

together after class or at weekends. The worst thing is just to worry about something but do nothing to make it right. Try taking some action!

Good luck!

Yours,

Tom
