I’d have a long, tiring ride home, so I decided to __11__ around 5 in the morning. I was on I­10 in the middle of Houston when I realized I left my inhaler behind, and had to __12__ to get it. I took the first exit I could, but when I rounded the corner, an 18­wheeler was stopped dead in the exit lane. I swerved to __13__ it, but clipped the curb and my tyre blew out. I pulled into a small parking lot and found the area __14__ at 5：15 am. I’ve lived in urban areas most of my life.

He asked again, but again I politely __22__. He finally said, “Ma’am, you need help. It remains to be seen whether the tow truck will arrive, and you aren’t going anywhere until you get the tyre replaced.” I looked hard, straight into his eyes, and __23__ saw someone different from the thug (惡棍) he appeared to be at first glance.

As a photographer, my life is measured from one story to the next. My oldest son was born in the middle of a long story about The Endangered Species Act. My daughter came along with a pack of gray wolves. Twenty stories later, though, it was the story in Alaska that I’ll remember best. It was the story about the loss of wilderness — and the story during which my wife Kathy got cancer. That was the one that made time stand still. I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor (腫瘤). Cruelly, it was Thanksgiving. By Christmas, she had become very weak. Some days she was so sick that she couldn’t watch TV. Early examination saves time. But ours was not early. By the time you can feel it yourself, it’s often bigger than the doctor wants it to be. Cancer is a thief. It steals time. Our days were already short with worry. Then came this terrible disease, unfair as storm at harvest time. But cancer also has the power to change us, for good. We learned to simplify everything, enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we don’t. Cancer even made me a better father. My work had made me a stranger to my three kids. But now I pay attention to what really matters.This is not a race. This is a new way of life and new way of seeing, all from the cancer. In the end, each of us has so little time. We have less of it than we can possibly imagine. And even though it turned out that Kathy’s cancer had not spread, and her prognosis (診斷) was good, we tried to make it all count now, enjoying every part of every day. I’ve picked up my camera again. I watch the sky, searching for beautiful light. When winter storms come, Kathy and I gather our children and take the time to catch snowflakes (雪花) on our tongues. After all, this is good. This is what we’re living for. 31．As a photographer, the author used to________. A．leave his daughter with a pack of gray wolves B．express his love to his family in a special way C．miss a great many important historical moments D．devote much more to his career than his family 32．Why did the author decide to stop taking pictures? A．To cure his own disease. B．To spend more time with his wife. C．To seek a better position. D．To leave the wilderness alone. 33．What is the biggest change the cancer has brought to the author? A．He treasures every bit of time with his family. B．He becomes a stranger to his children. C．He takes his work more seriously. D．He focuses more on medical care. 34．The author and his family catch snowflakes on their tongues probably because________. A．the snowflakes taste very good B．snowflakes are what they feed on C．they regard that as a way to enjoy life D．there is beautiful light in the snowflakes B (2014·仙桃調(diào)研)Thanksgiving Day, a holiday designed to give thanks and blessings for a good harvest, is drawing near. But are you still having trouble with what gifts you should give? So let’s take a look at some of the different gifts being sent to people from different countries, and maybe you will be able to find some inspiration. Americans In 1941, the United States Congress had passed a law, ruling the fourth Thursday of November to be Thanksgiving Day. The make­up parade (游行) is hard to miss, therefore cosmetics (化妝品)，such as cosmetic mirrors, skincare products and sunglasses, may be good choices for gifts. Egyptians In ancient Egypt, Harvest Festival was celebrated in honor of their harvest god Min during the spring season because that was when their harvest season would fall. The festival starts with a parade, followed by banquets, a ball and sports. Because music and movies are very popular here, CDs and DVDs are always great gifts. Moreover, art is also welcomed. One thing that should be noted is that blue and yellow colors need to be avoided since they are forbidden in the country. Chinese The Chinese have the traditional festival “Mid­Autumn Festival”， celebrated by families on the 15th of August in Chinese lunar calendar. Mooncakes and fruits are common gifts. But believe it or not, it is becoming a trend for an increasing number of young Chinese to celebrate the Western Thanksgiving. Carnations are a good present for mothers during the festival. Gloves are also a good idea, especially as the weather is cold. Jews Sukkot, a Jewish festival celebrated for the autumn harvest, has a history of over 3,000 years. During the eight­day of Sukkot, Jews build many cabins, using branches, to memorize their ancestors’ chancel(圣所)．A feast is held during the second day in these specific cabins. Hanukkah is the original name of the festival. Thus lamps and lanterns are always in proper use. In addition, silk is considered to be the ideal gift for this holiday. 35．Which countries hold some parades during the festivals? A．Egypt and Jewish countries. B．America and Egypt. C．China and Egypt. D．China and America. 36．What will you buy as Thanksgiving gifts to visit a Jewish friend? A．Sunglasses. B．CDs. C．Gloves. D．Silk. 37．What can we learn from the passage? A．Mooncakes have not been popular as before. B．Chinese people won’t buy flowers as gifts in the festival. C．Gloves are not so welcome as fruits. D．Young Chinese people prefer to celebrate the Western Thanksgiving. 38．The best title of this passage should be________. A．How to buy Thanksgiving gifts B．A variety of Thanksgiving gifts C．The function of Thanksgiving gifts D．How to send Thanksgiving gifts C (2014·黃岡調(diào)研)Searching the Internet may help middle­aged and older adults keep their memories sharp, US researchers said. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, studied people doing web searches by recording their brain activity. “What we saw was people who had Internet experience used more of their brain during the search，” Dr. Gary Small, a UCLA expert on aging, said. “This suggests that just searching on the Internet may train the brain — that it may keep it active and healthy，” said Small. “This is the first time anyone has simulated an Internet search task while scanning the brain，” Small said. His team studied 24 normal volunteers between the ages of 55 and 76. Half were experienced at searching the Internet and the other half had no web experience. Otherwise, the groups were similar in age, gender and education. Both groups were asked to do Internet searches and book reading tasks while their brain activity was monitored. “We found that in reading the book task, the visual, cortex — the part of the brain that controls reading and language — was activated，” Small said, “In doing the Internet search task, there was much greater activity, but only in the Internet­savvy (了解) group.” It appears that people who are familiar with the Internet can engage in a much deeper level of brain activity. Activities that keep the brain engaged can preserve brain health and thinking ability. Small thinks learning to do Internet searches may be one of those activities. 39．What did the researchers do when volunteers were doing web searches? A．They studied the Internet. B．They activated their brain. C．They monitored their brain activity. D．They recorded their memories. 40．Which was different between the two volunteer groups? A．Health. B．Web experience. C．School Education. D．Age. 41．How many tasks did the volunteers do? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 42．What can we conclude from the passage? A．Web searching benefits the brain. B．Reading books keeps the brain engaged. C．Watching TV makes the brain active. D．Doing activities damages the brain. D (2014·安徽蚌埠第二次教學(xué)質(zhì)量檢測(cè))We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it. Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed — no examination is perfect — but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency (效率), the values and the purpose of each teacher. Without examinations, employers will look for employees (受雇者)from the highly respected schools and from families known to them — a form of favourtism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill­respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability (不合適)of a dull child attending a well­respected school. This defend of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favoured school. The opponents(反對(duì)者)of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic classes. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer. 43．The underlined word“favouritism”in Paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that ________. A．bright children also need certificates to get satisfying jobs B．children from well­respected schools tend to have good jobs C．poor children with certificates are favoured in job markets D．children attending ordinary schools achieve great success 44．What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author? A．Schools for bright children would lose their reputation. B．There would be more opportunities and excellence. C．Children from poor families would be able to change their schools. D．Children’s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation. 45．The opponents of the examination system will agree that________. A．jobs should not be decided by systematic selection B．computers should be selected to take over many jobs　 C．special classes are necessary to keep the school standards　 D．schools with academic subjects should be done away with　 46．The passage mainly focuses on ________. A．schools and certificates B．examination and equality C．opportunity and employment D．standards and reputation E (2014·揚(yáng)州第四次調(diào)研)While on vacation in distant locales, people often find that time moves quite differently than in the places they’re used to.Robert Levine and his colleagues have studied the speed of life in cities around the world and across the U．S.In a series of experiments they measured how fast a single pedestrian in a downtown center covered a distance of 60 feet, timed how long it took to complete a simple commercial transaction, and recorded the accuracy of randomly selected clocks in the downtown business area.They found that places with a faster pace of life also had stronger economies, and that people in larger cities tended to move faster than those in less populated areas. So as you might expect, fast­moving people are associated with fast­moving economies. But does that faster life translate into greater happiness? In faster places, people were more likely to smoke, less likely to take the time to help strangers in need, and more likely to die from heart diseases. Yet Levine and his colleagues found that people in faster places tended to report feeling somewhat happier with their lives than those who lived in slower places. A city’s pace of life was indeed “significantly related” to the physical, social, and psychological well­being of its inhabitants. However, the relationship between income and reported happiness is far from obvious.According to the “Easterlin paradox (悖論，反論)” (named after economist Richard Easterlin), once people have enough money to meet their basic needs, having more money is not necessarily correlated with higher self­reported happiness. Easterlin’s claims are controversial and not universally accepted; even if his theory is correct, wealthier nations might be happier overall if they address the basic needs to more of their people. In any case, the ongoing debate indicates that we need to be careful when making connections between happiness and overall economic factors. Among individuals in a society, busyness — or the feeling of busyness — seems to be an important factor in well­being. That feeling of busyness — of having a lot to do and too little time in which to do it is often associated with stress and anxiety. However in many contexts being “busy” is badge of honor — Busy parents are seen as devoted to their children’s well­being and the busy lawyer can charge a premium hourly rate. In US studies, the happiest people reported that they were busy in the sense that they had little excess time, yet did not feel rushed. Levine’s work raises the possibility that an individual’s feelings about their use of time contribute as much or more to their happiness as does economics. Now the big challenge is to find out which way the causal chain works: Does the feeling of being active, yet not rushed，contribute to happiness? Or does happiness allow people to perceive(覺察) their use of time in positive ways? 47．What can we learn about Levine’s study? A．It calculated a person’s walking distance during a certain period. B．It was carried out for some commercial purposes. C．It researched life rhythm in various economies and areas. D．It was mainly conducted in the western world. 48．Which of the following does Easterlin paradox support? A．People in faster places may suffer from poorer health. B．Happiness is possible only when one’s basic needs are met. C．People in underdeveloped countries are less happier. D．High income does not necessarily ensure life satisfaction. 49．The underlined word “inhabitants” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________. A．people who have some unusual habits B．people who live in a particular place C．people who have stable and good jobs D．people who are healthy and happy 50．We can infer from Paragraph 4 that ________. A．busy people definitely have a higher degree of happiness B．people will feel relaxed if they have nothing to do C．being actively engaged contributes to life satisfaction D．busy people are supposed to make more money 答 案 Ⅰ.1.選B　考查名詞辨析。句意：在那些艱難的日子里，我一定是父母莫大的安慰，因?yàn)槲覐臎]有辜負(fù)他們的期望。根據(jù)前后兩分句之間的邏輯關(guān)系以及選項(xiàng)意思可知，在艱難歲月中，“我”能夠不辜負(fù)父母期望，定會(huì)令他們感到欣慰，故選B，意為“令人感到安慰的人，安慰，舒服”。A項(xiàng)意為“成就”；C項(xiàng)意為“失望”；D項(xiàng)意為“支持”。 2．選D　考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析。句意：在迪士尼樂園，每年有大約80萬的植物要重新栽植，因?yàn)榈鲜磕針穲@拒絕豎起讓游客不要踐踏植物的牌子。put down“寫下，記下”；put out“熄滅，撲滅”；put off“推遲”；put up“豎立”。根據(jù)句意可知D項(xiàng)正確。 3．選C　考查動(dòng)詞辨析。句意：盡管這個(gè)提議很受歡迎，但令我們失望的是它僅僅觸及了問題的表面。根
