第一节：（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

We’ve been running for three days. Appointments, evening activities and athletic events. Now we’ve just returned from a field trip and there’s cooking to do for an event tonight.

I put on one of my husband’s T-shirts and a pair of sweatpants and start to work. I decide to ignore the table littered with books and coffee cups, the dishes that need washing and the floor that needs good cleaning. I’ll deal with the whole mess when I finish the cooking.

Suddenly I hear a knock at the door. “Hello,” calls a sunny voice. I look through the window and a beautiful friend waves her hand out there. She’s dressed from work and looks completely together (井井有条的), too together for this kind of mess. But she comes in. I cringe (畏缩) for the condition of my home, for the way I look and for the vulnerability of being a straight-up mess.

But to my surprise, my friend gives me a hug. And as I tidy the messy house, my friend and I chat freely and happily. As we chat, I find that I’m anything but ashamed.

Suddenly I realize that she’s looking at my heart, not my house. I can be real-life vulnerable with this friend because the friendship is true, and true friendships are not woven with judgment and criticism but with love. Standing there, relaxed and warmed from the inside, I’m thankful that I’m enjoying safe vulnerability, and that regardless of my mess, I am loved by my friend.

21. What’s the recent situation of the author?

A. Being ill.

B. Being busy.

C. Planning for a trip.

D. Just having moved into a new house.

22. What’s the author about to do when her friend comes?

A. To go to work.

B. To read a book for relaxation.

C. To do some washing and cleaning.

D. To prepare fo od for an evening event.

23. What can we learn about the author’s friend?

A. She comes only to be shocked at the messy house.

B. She comes well-dressed and behaves very well.

C. She comes to the author’s help.

D. She comes for an appointment with the author.

24. After chatting with her friend, the author feels _______.

B. encouraged to be a together person

C. delighted to have known such a friend

B

Rebecca Sharrock has a rare condition, which means she can remember all the events she has experienced. The events are so vivid as if they happened just moments ago. Rebecca says that she can remember every single detail of her life.

But for Rebecca, her vivid memories often become a reality. “When I relive memories, the emotions recur. So if it’s something from when I was younger, it’s like my mind is an adult but my emotions are at the age that I was then.”Rebecca said. “I also re-experience pain. For example, I remember falling over when I was three and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I’m getting painful in my left knee cap.”

However, there are times when Rebecca’s memories prove to be too overwhelming requiring her to learn relaxation and mindfulness techniques to deal with. “At school, it is a barrier. I’m not very quick at processing things, so there is always so much going through my mind.”Rebecca said. “At night, I have to sleep with the radio on and a soft light. If it’s too dark or quiet, my mind just recalls all these memories and I can’t sleep.”

In addition, Rebecca has no control over whether the memories she recalls will be positive or negative --- recalling painful experiences with such vividness that she has suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (创后伤紧张症). Rebecca said, “Recently, I went back to my old days for my sister’s graduation. Being in that building again brought all those memories flooding back. I burst into tears and had to leave.”

Rebecca and her mother, Mrs. Barnes got in touch with the University of California. It was there that Rebecca knew she had Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory(HSAM). “Finding out about HSAM has been such a positive experience. Now Rebecca has been more positive and able to do things independently.” Mrs. Barnes said.

25. What does HSAM bring to Rebecca?

A. She could have a clear mind about herself.

B. She could recall everything in her life.

C. She could predict the future well.

D. She could avoid pains in advance.

26. Why does Rebecca suffer from her memory?

A. Because it does damage to her brain.

B. Because it makes her stand out from others.

C. Because it brings her too much stress.

D. Because it causes painful emotions sometimes.

27. How is Rebecca’s life according to her mother?

A. She li ves a happy life with her mother.

B. She still needs to struggle against HSAM for years.

C. Her life improves gradually with days going by.

D. Her life is totally changed after understanding HSAM.

C

Search engines like Google make people think they are smarter than they actually are because they have the world’s knowledge at their fingertips, psychologists at Yale University have found. Surfing the Internet for information gives people a widely inaccurate view of their own intelligence and could lead to over-confidence when making decisions, experts warn.

Experiments found that people who had searched on the Internet believed they were far more knowledgeable about a subject than those who had learned by normal routes, such as reading a book. “The Internet is such a powerfu l environment, where you can enter any question, and you can easily get the world’s knowledge at your fingertips.” said Mattew Fisher, a psychology professor at Yale University. “But it becomes easier to confuse your own knowledge with this source. When people are truly on their own, they would easily get more wrong answers.”

More than 1,000 students took part in a range of experiments aimed at studying the psychological impact of searching on the Internet. In one test, the Internet group were given a website link which gave the answer to the question “how does a zip work” while a control group were given a print-out of the same information. When the two groups were

tested later on an unrelated question --- “why are cloudy nights warmer?” the group who had searched online believed they were more knowledgeable even though they were not allowed to look up the correct answer.

“We also believe that the wrong sense of personal knowledge also could be perilous in some areas when people make decisions; in case where decisions have great influence such as important business trade, it may cause millions of losses and even bankruptcy of a company.” Mr. Fisher added.

The Internet is a big benefit in many ways, but there may be some disadvantages that aren’t immediately obvious and this may be one of them. “Right personal knowledge is difficult to achieve, and the Internet may be making that task even harder.”

28. According to Matthew Fisher, ________.

A. people should keep away from the Internet

B. the Internet should concentrate on expertise

C. the Internet has more benefits than disadvantages

D. people shouldn’t rely too much on the Internet

29. Researchers did the experiment through the way of ______.

A. discussion

B. assumption

C. observation

D. comparison

30. The underlined word “perilous” most probably means _______.

A. ridiculous

B. dangerous

C. beneficial

D. normal

31. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. People widely use the Internet.

B. The Internet has many advantages.

C. The Internet makes people over-confident.

D. More experiments have been done on the Internet.

D

More Americans than ever before are supporting their local food markets, and new research has found it’s not just because they believe the food is fresher and tastes better. According to a new study of the University of Iowa (UI), people are shopping farmer’s markets and joining food coops (食品合作社) at record numbers because they enjoy knowing who grows the food. These so-called “locavores (土食者)” are also driven to eat locally

grown produce and meat because their commitment to do so makes them feel a part of something greater than themselves --- a community that shares their enthusiasm for a healthy lifestyle and a sustainable environment.

For these enthusiasts, supporting the local food movement is a sort of civic duty, an act to keep their local economy away from the threats of globalization and supermarkets. “It’s not just about the economic exchange; it’s a relational exchange and it’s also an exchange of ideas.”said Ion Vasi, an associate professor at the UI and corresponding author of the study.

Vasi said the local food market is what sociologists call a “moralized market”, and that is a market in which people integrate economic activities with their values. Among the findings, the UI researchers discovered local food markets were more likely to develop in areas where local people had a strong commitment to civic participation, health and the environment. “It’s about valuing the relationship with the farmers and people who produce the food and believing that how they produce the food corresponds with your personal values.” Vasi said.

Vasi shared the results of the study at the American Sociology Association annual meeting in Chicago. For his study, Vasi examined the development of local food markets by looking at the number of farmers’ markets, food coops, community-supported agriculture providers and local food restaurants in cities across the United States. Researchers also conducted 40 interviews with consumers and producers in different local food markets in Iowa and New York.

32. What can be inferred from Para. 1?

A. Many Americans turn to foreign foods.

B. More and more American shoppers become “locavores”.

C. Fewer Americans keep a healthy lifestyle as secrets.

D. Americans know their food producers well.

33. Enthusiasts support the local food in order to ______.

A. protect their local economy

B. eat fresh and healthy food

C. protect the environment

D. deal with results that globalization brings

34. What does the underlined word “integrate” mean?

A. Balance

B. Develop

C. Combine

D. Identify

35. The study shared in the annual meeting in Chicago ________.

A. showed the development of local food markets

B. showed the exact number of local food markets

C. was accepted by the American Sociology Association

D. showed the relation between the economy and society

Interview some people. Find some people who know you and have worked with you or who have interacted with you before.
