四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
Sharing Beauty
It was in October. I was aimlessly wandering down the street, heading into a most gloriously
beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but it seemed
everyone was in a hurry.
I took the next-best action. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady
behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She looked at me as though I were
from some other planet. She hesitated, and then seemingly against her better judgment, she moved
toward the door.
When she got outside I said to her, “Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at
it and I just had to share it with someone.”
For a few seconds we just looked. Then I said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world.” I thanked her for coming out to see it; she we nt back inside and I left. It felt good to share
the beauty.
Four years later my situation changed greatly. I came to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I
was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. I lived in a trailer park which, at the time, I
considered a real come-down, and I had to do my wash in the community laundry room.
One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a magazine and read an article
about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage,
moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: clothing
sales in a department store.
Then something that happened to her changed everything. She said a woman came into her
department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, “Go
and she had realized the truth in that statement.
in his heaven and all is right with the world,”　
From that moment on, she turned her life around.
56. The author asked the woman to go outside to ______. A.admire the sunset B. cheer her up
C.offer some help
D.have a chat
57. Four years later, the author ______.
A. found her dream job
B. put an end to her marriage
C. worked in a laundry room
D.
lived in the same community

A. disappointed
B. puzzled
C. inspired
D. overjoyed
B
There is a lot of talk these days about how kids should be interested in science. Here?s an area
of science for everyone, and these cool new books might inspire you to discover your inner
scientist.
Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled b y Catherine Thimmesh, 58 pages, ages 9-12
Seeing a picture or a model of a dinosaur, do you wonder how anybody knows what they
look like? After all, nobody has seen a living dinosaur. This book explains how scientists and
artists work together to re-create dinosaurs. As scientific discoveries have been made, the models
have changed. Scientific tests may one day expose what a dinosaur?s coloring was, b ut now artists
have to use their imagination to determine how these huge creatures looked.
Beyond the Solar System by Mary Kay Carson, 128 pages, ages 10-13
This book takes readers back to the beginnings of space exploration—thousands of years ago,
when people began star observation—and forward to today?s search for planets in distant parts of
the Milky Way. Along with history lessons, readers get 21 activities, such as making a black hole
and creating a model of Albert Einstein?s universe using a T-shirt. The activities are perfect for
cold winter days.
Ultimate Bugopedia by Darlyne Murawski and Nancy Honovich, 272 pages, ages 7 and older If you?re always on the lookout for butterflies, this book is for you. Hundreds of color photos
of common and unusual insects fill this hardcover. There are fascinating stories related to the
photos. For example, do you know an insect feeds on the tears of Asian cattle? There?s a
question-and-answer section with an insect scientist and advice on how to help preserve
endangered insects.
Journey Into the Invisible by Christine Schlitt, 80 pages, ages 9-12
If you use a magnifying（放大的）glass, you know a leaf looks quite different. This book
explains what microscopes do and then shows what happens to things around the house when
watched with this amazing scientific tool. The bacteria in your mouth, when magnified 20,000
times, look a bit like swimming pool noodles. Fascinating photos are paired with suggestions
about how to learn about the world around you, just by looking a little closer.

Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices, while
driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they are away
from physical reality.
People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that
“addicted” was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and
similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media
than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.
The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on
their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural
disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest
information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.
I see people trapped in a pathological（病态的）relationship with time-sucking technology,
where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I
am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption
of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.
What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in
charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of
breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so
much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become
the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West
But it?s time
is famous for proclaiming the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.”
to discover that it does not work for technology.
Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies.”To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long
ago could be fantastic without today?s overused technology.
______.
63. The underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 2 probably means
A. advantage
B. attraction
C. adaption
D. attempt
64. From the passage, technology companies aim to ______.
A. attract people to buy their products
B. provide the latest information
C. improve people?s quality of life
D. deal with cultural diseases
65. It can be inferred from this passage that people ______.
A. consider too much technology wonderful
B. have realized the harm of high-tech
devices
C. can regain freedom without high-tech devices
D. may enjoy life better without
overused technology
66. What?s the author?s attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?
A. Neutral.
B. Sceptical.
C. Disapproving.
D. Sympathetic.
D
Did you see American figure skater, Jeremy
Abbott, crash to the ice during the short program
at the Sochi Olympics, rolling into the wall,
clutching his side in pain. Ten seconds later, he
got up and continued his skate—despite the pain,
embarrassment and fear. All I could think was:
this kid?s got courage. In business we have a
word for it—resilience, the ability to gain
strengths and confidence from overcoming
unpleasant events.
However, opposite examples appeared in Sochi Olympics as well. For them, failure is someone else?s fault, because they do not accept personal responsibility. Therefore, they have to pay a high price for this attitude. After years of studying failure, I have learned one thing: modesty and open-mindedness in the face of mistakes is the single best thing you can do to improve results. Everyone fails, but not everyone recovers from failure. The key is to learn from it rather than get beaten by it.
The good news is that each of us has the potential to live a resilient life on and off the job. It may be difficult, but that just makes it all the more powerful and important. If you believe the above paragraph to be true, then you?re probably more resilient than you think you are. It takes confidence to be resilient but that too much confidence is a killer is so true of leadership. For example, Ron Johnson, the ill-fated CEO of JC Penney, was so stubborn that he completely missed all sorts of signals from employees and customers and instead listened to all those who agreed with him, which failed his strategy. Bouncing back from failure requires that you recognize something has gone wrong, and you were the one who made it happen.
The challenge of resilience is not just about our work. When parents help their kids deal with every challenging situation, they are doing an unhelpful action to their children. Parents want to protect their kids from failure, but doing so takes away the opportunity from them to practice not
just a life skill but an essential work skill. When self-esteem becomes more important than results, we are accidently training young people to become less adaptable, not more.
Resilience is not just about getting up off the floor, but also being ready for whatever comes next, even when you don?t know what it is. Failures and setbacks are no longer unusual events, but regular features of a dynamic, competitive and highly demanding work environment. Getting up to finish your skate is no longer optional.
67. The example of Jeremy Abbott shows that one should ______.
A. recover from failure
B. stick to his own viewpoint
C. take others? opinions to heart
D. challenge difficulties bravely
68. According to the author, what can best build up resilience?
A. Being positive and powerful.
B. Being competitive and helpful.
C. Being modest and open-minded.
D. Being confident and responsible.
69. Which of the following examples shows us resilience?
A. A teacher offers students timely help and care.
B. A determined athlete practices skating hard every day.
C. A confident leader persuades his staff to follow his plan.
D. A student has got a low grade but continues to work hard.
70. Which might be the best title for the passage?
A. An Example of Resilience: Ron Johnson
B. Resilience: A Lesson from Sochi
C. Optional Challenges of Resilience
D. Resilience in Family Education
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能
填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding. ____71_____
The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. ____72_____ Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don?t have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.
The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely
understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader?s u nderstanding. ___73___ Otherwise
means understanding more, not one person could never learn from another. Here “learning”　
remembering more information.
What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding.
_____74_____ Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved.
___75___ It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.
A. The writer should have a better communicating skill.
B. Such communication between unequals must be possible.
C. We can get access to the content of those materials easily.
D. The writer must be “superior” to the reader in understanding.
E. Thus, we can employ the word “reading” in two distinct senses.
F. Reading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information.
entertainment.
G. Besides gaining information and under standing, there?s another goal of reading—第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）

This afternoon, we held a class meeting to say goodbye to Zhang Qiang, who was going to study abroad. In the beginning, he made a brief speech to express his true love for the class and his
wish for an everlasting friendship with us. We were all moved to tears. Then came the moment to present him with the special gift, a heart-shaped board with some photos recording the unforgettable days we had spent together. Afterwards, we signed on his T-shirt expressing our best wishes and encouragement as a reminder.
At last, we had a photo taken to memorize th is precious moment. True friendship won?t be weakened by distance. We?ll surely miss him and wish him good luck in the future.。
