Night after night, she came to tuck (掖被子) me in, even long after my childhood years. Following her long habit, she'd lean down and push my long __16__ out of the way, then kiss my forehead.

I don't remember when it first __17__ annoying me—her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, __18__ they felt work?worn and rough __19__ my young skin. One night, I shouted out at her. “Don't do that anymore—your hands are too rough.” She didn't say anything in __20__. But never again did my mother end my day with that __21__ expression of her love.

Mom no longer has Dad, and on special occasions, I find myself drawn next door to __29__ the night with her. So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I slept in the __30__ of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly __31__ my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently, __32__ my forehead.

For the thousandth time, I recalled the night my young voice complained, “Don't __33__ that anymore—your hands are too rough！”Catching Mom's hand in hand, I blurted out (脱口而出) how sorry I was for that night. I thought she'd remember, as I did. But Mom didn't know what I was talking about. She had forgotten—and forgiven—long ago. That night, I fell asleep with a new __34__ for my gentle mother and her __35__ hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

第二部分阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

If a noisy neighbor is blasting music at all hours of the day and night, drowning out your phone conversations and interrupting your sleep, you can call the police. But what is a whale to do? Natural noise from waves, wind, rain and even earthquakes is common in oceans. Unfortunately, man?made noise from oil and gas drilling, sonar, and ships is also present.

Low frequency noise has doubled off the California coast every decade since the nineteen sixties. The main reasons are ships' propellers(螺旋桨). They not only generate continuous low frequency sound, some propellers cavitate(形成气穴), which means they create air bubbles that collapse, creating loud popping sounds.

Whales use low frequency calls to communicate across thousands of miles of ocean. They are threatened by noise pollution because it can prevent them from contacting each other and from locating their foods. Endangered humpback and right whales, which use fibrous baleen to strain food from the water, are the most at risk.

Scientists studying right whales off Canada's east coast have discovered that whales are sending louder calls through the water to make themselves heard. Because they invest more energy in making calls, they have less energy available for finding food and mating. Other scientists measuring whale calls against background noise pollution have discovered that right whales have lost about eighty percent of their normal communication areas. This could seriously affect the survival of this already threatened species.

Scientists don't have badges and guns, but they are trying to correct the noise pollution problem. By tracking ships and marine mammals and understanding how noise travels, they are creating sound maps. They hope to get shipping lanes moved so that the noise pollution ships create will not overlap with areas most important to the whales.

36．What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．Whales are in danger because of the noise.

B．Noise pollution is affecting whales.

C．Natural noise is good for whales.

D．How to protect whales endangered.

37．The following statements are true EXCEPT ________．

A．you can call the police if you are disturbed by a noisy neighbor

B．low frequency noise has doubled off the Canadian coast every decade since the 1960s C．noise pollution can prevent whales from contacting each other and from locating prey D．endangered humpback and right whales are the most at risk

38．We can infer from the last paragraph that ________．

A．some areas important to whales are overlapped with the ship lanes

B．scientists are creating the sound maps by tracking ships and marine mammals

C．if scientists have guns, they can correct the noise pollution

D．scientists have worked out a plan to protect the whales

Kelly Reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water. Panic moment! She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on, but nothing worked. Her first reaction? She got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new model at full price.

A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness. About 66 percent of those surveyed suffer from nomophobia or “no mobile phone phobia”. Interestingly, more women worry about losing their phones than men.

Fortunately, there's a solution.

The first step is to figure out whether you have nomophobia. Checking your phone too often is one thing, but the true sign of the problem is that you can't conduct business or go about your routine when the fear becomes so severe.

Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? That's another sign of the problem. If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day, there may be a problem.

Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: Leaving the phone behind and not checking e?mail or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety. Even if this leads to a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with not having your phone.

Of course, there are also technological alternatives. Luis Levy, a co?founder at Novy PR, says he uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone. To find it, he can just go to a website and see the phone's location.

He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion. The company's description of its product reads like a prescription for anxiety: “60 million phones are lost, stolen or damaged each year. You'll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can quickly reconnect with family, friends and work, as soon as the very next day！”

39．Why does the author mention Kelly's experience in the first paragraph?

A．To introduce the topic for discussion.

B．To inform us that mobile phones are useful.

C．To warn us that we should be careful.

D．To tell us we should get phones ready for a trip.

40．The underlined word “nomophobia”in Paragraph 2 means ________．

A．habits of using mobile phones B．fear of losing mobile phones

C．eagerness for new mobile phones D．independence of mobile phones

41．Which of the following is a way to treat nomophobia?

A．Avoiding using phones for some time.

B．Learning more about modern technology.

C．Protecting one's phone against any damage.

D．Not using a mobile phone in one's daily work.

42．What is the passage mainly about?

A．Attitudes toward mobile phones. B．New mobile phone technology. C．Disadvantages of mobile phones. D．Solutions to nomophobia.

C

Tempted by a chocolate bar? Maybe indulging (沉迷于) every so often is not a bad thing especially if it's dark chocolate.

According to a Swedish study in the journal of the American College of Cardiology that looked at more than 33，000 women, the more chocolate the women said they ate, the lower their risk of stroke.

The results add to a growing body of evidence linking cocoa consumption to heart health, but

they aren't a free pass to gorge on (贪婪地吃) chocolate.

“Given the observational design of the study, findings of this study cannot prove that it's chocolate that lower s the risk of stroke，”said Susanna Larsson from Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, in an e?mail to Reuters Health.

While she believes chocolate has health benefits, she also warned that eating too much of it could be counterproductive (起反作用的)．

“Chocolate should be consumed in moderation (适中) as it is high in calories, fat and sugar. As dark chocolate contains more cocoa and less sugar than milk chocolate, consumption of dark chocolate would be more beneficial.”

Larsson and her colleagues tapped into data from a mammography study that included self?reports of how much chocolate women ate in 1997.The women ranged in age from 49 to 83 years.

Over the next decade, there were 1，549 strokes among the group. The more chocolate women ate, the lower their risk.

Among those with the highest weekly chocolate intake, more than 45 grams, there were 2.5 strokes per 1，000 women per year. That figure was 7.8 per 1，000 among women who ate the least, less than 8.9 grams a week.

Scientists speculate (推测) that substances known as flavonoids (类黄酮), in particular so?called flavanoids, may be responsible for chocolate's apparent impact on health.

According to Larsson, flavonoids have been shown to cut high blood pressure, a risk factor for strokes, and improve other blood factors linked to heart health. Whether that theoretical benefit translates to real?life benefits remains to be proven by strict studies, however.

Nearly 800，000 people in the United States suffer a stroke every year, with about a sixth of them dying of it and many more left disabled.

For those at high risk, doctors recommend blood pressure medicine, quitting smoking, exercising more and eating a healthier diet, but so far, chocolate isn't on the list.

43．The researchers who study chocolate lovers with fewer strokes are from ________．A．America B．Sweden C．Britain D．Spain

44．What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．Whether eating chocolate can lower the risk of stroke has been solved.

B．There are many people in the United States suffering a stroke every year.

C．Doing more exercise is beneficial to health.

D．Whether eating chocolate can lower the risk of stroke remains to be studied.

45．What's the main idea of the passage?

A．A study about stroke.

B．Chocolate lover may have fewer strokes.

C．A study about the benefit of chocolate.

D．Eating more dark chocolate does good to health.

Young children whose mothers talk with them more frequently and in more detail about people's thoughts and feelings tend to be better at taking another person's perspective(观点)than other children of the same age.

That's what researchers from the University of Western Australia found in a new study published in the journalChild Development.

“Parents who frequently put themselves in someone else's shoes in conversations with their children make it more likely that their children will be able to do the same，”said lead author Brad Farrant.

Researchers of the UWA's Telethon Institute for Child Health Research looked at the influence of how parents interact with their children to learn more about how people develop the ability to take another's perspective.

The two?year study involved more than 120 Australian children aged between four and six, including children with typically developing language and others delayed in language acquisition(习得)．

The children completed tasks which were designed to assess their language skills, ability to infer others' beliefs and use these to predict others' behavior, and their ability to shift flexibly between different perspectives.

Among children with typically developing language, the researchers found that mothers who talked more often and in greater detail about people's thoughts and feelings—commenting on how another person might react to a particular situation as well as their own feelings about the topic—had children with better language skills and better perspective?taking skills.

Children with delayed language acquisition were also delayed in their development of perspective?taking skills. This displays the role played by language as children develop the ability to take another's perspective.

“Solving the many challenges that the world faces today requires us all to get better at taking the perspective of other people，”said Brad Farrant.

46．According to the text, to help children gain better perspective?taking skills, parents should ________．

A．give their children more chances to express themselves

B．talk more with their children about people's feelings

C．encourage their children to guess other people's thoughts

D．spend more time playing with their children

47．Which of the following is TRUE about the study?

A．Over one hundred American children took part in it.

B．All the children had delayed in language acquisition.

C．The children in the study were around five years old.

D．Mothers helped their children to complete the tasks.

48．Which have an effect on the development of children's perspective?taking skills?

A．The surrounding environments. B．Mothers' perspectives.

C．Personal characters. D．Language skills.

49．In the last paragraph, Brad Farrant ________．

A．stressed the importance of perspective?taking skills

B．expressed his concern about the world's challenges

C．showed how to take the perspective of other people

D．explained why other people's opinions were important

50．According to the text, we can learn ________．

A．parents should talk to their children frequently no matter how old their children are

B．it was Brad Farrant who wrote the study in Child Development

C．the only way to improve language skills is talking to children more often

D．parents who are always thinking about others will help their children do the same way

第三部分任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

请认真阅读下列短文，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：每个空格只填一个单词。

Weibo, or micro?blogs, the Chinese version of Twitter, has become a way of life in China, especially for the young.

Our train bumped into something. Our carriage has fallen onto its side. Children are screaming. Come to helpus please! Come fast!

This is the first message sent from a high?speed train that crashed on July 23rd, 2011 in China's Zhejiang province.

Not only was it a cry for help, which saved tens of lives, but it also contributed to a wave of unprecedented (史无前例的)“citizen journalism”on China's micro?blogs. Within ten hours, the message was reposted over one hundred thousand times, which was something the girl, Xiao Yang, who wrote it had never imagined. She said, “I just w anted to survive at that moment, so I posted a message on Weibo. I didn't know it would help us to be rescued so quickly.”

After the crash, China's twenty million strong micro?bloggers demonstrated tremendous(巨大的)and unfamiliar power. They joined rescue efforts, helped survivors and monitored the officials investigating the accident.

As with traditional media, Weibo functions as a mirror on society, sparking debates and enlightening discussions. But what's different about the micro?blogging site is that anyone—not just journalists—can take a photo, record a video clip or write a quick note about what is happening around them.

I can fully accept this new Weibo lifestyle. Almost everyone has Weibo now. I read news on Weibo and it helps me with my life. I also write or repost news sometimes.

Clearly, Weibo enables millions of Chinese to become “citizen journalists”，opening them up to fresh news and views on their community, country and world.

This has led to many micro?bloggers keeping a closer eye on the authorities. In response, the government is also using Weibo as a tool to respond to citizens' queries(质询). And in Beijing, micro?bloggers have already left thousands of messages, urging the government to solve problems they consider urgent.

Wang Hui, general d irector of Beijing Information Office, said, “Weibo has created a platform for government officials to better understand what the citizens are thinking about and what they really need. This bottom?to?top information transmission channel is innovative and will become a new trend for government officials to provide better services for the people.”

But, however compelling(引人注目的)Weibo may be, much information it provides turns out to be rumors. Weibo, as a platform, not only helps the Chinese people express their views, but also trains the government in facing public opinion.

Meanwhile, for Xiao Yang, a simple message saved her life. And for millions of others, Weibo means much more than just a simple touch on a smart phone.
