AAn incredible dog has mastered more than just the doggy paddle (狗刨式游泳) — the golden brown pet helps disabled children learn how to surf. Ricochet’s owner Judy Fridono said, ―I was working with her at balance and coordination (协作). Her balance is so good that she can help to stabilize the board for the kids. And it makes them feel good to know that Ricochet is there with them, keeping them company.‖After becoming an expert, two-year-old Ricochet helps the disabled children build up the confidence to get on the board themselves. Dressed in a yellow jacket, Ricochet helps to counter-balance the board and acts as a reassuring presence.Ms. Fridono knows what an impact her beloved dog can have. She herself was severely disabled since her teens. Having Ricochet around lifts her spirits, and inspires her to conquer her pain to get on the board. ―Rico chet has taught me to focus on what I can do, rather than what I can’t,‖ she said.One of those who have benefited from Ricochet’s skills is six-year-old Ian McFarland. In 2008 a car crash left him with brain damage. Although he had loved surfing before the accident, he was too nervous to go back into the water. His fear turned to excitement, when he was told he could try a tandem (双人) surf session with Ricochet. Their session was a success and by the end of it, Ian was smiling from ear to ear. As well as helping with treatments, Ricochet also raised £5,000 to help continue Ian’s recovery.Over the last 10 months, Ricochet’s excellen t performances on the sea have raised more than £30,000 for a number of charity causes.1. According to the passage, Ricochet is .A. a doctorB. a dogC. a dog ownerD. a disabled boy2. What role does Ricochet play according to the passage?A. She acts as a pet to please its owner.B. She accompanies the disabled children at home.C. She helps the disabled children learn to surf.D. She works as a guide dog for the blind.3. Ian McFarland considers Ricochet’s work to be .A. challengingB. doubtfulC. attractiveD. satisfying4. Which statement can best describe Ricochet?A. The two-year-old dog is severely disabled.B. Ricochet helps youngsters build up their confidence.C. Ricochet helps youngsters in their daily life.D. Ricochet is a lifesaver on the sea.BNever before in Chinese history has a documentary film aroused so much public enthusiasm. Everybody is talking about a new 7-part documentary called A Bite of China which was recently broadcast late at night on CCTV I. The documentary describes various gourmet items across the vast Chinese culinary (烹饪) landscape.According to Taobao, China’s biggest online retail website, just five days after the series began to air, nearly 6 million people went to the site in search of various local specialities, particularlythose mentioned in the documentary. More than 7.2 million deals were concluded. A ham producer from Yunnan Province saw his sales grow 17-fold in five days.Ho wever, one can’t help but believe that the documentary’s popularity is probably linked to the endless stream of terrible food security issues that have emerged in recent years. In one well-received article, a netizen wrote, ―I wonder how many felt so empty-hearted and sighed after watching the film .Formaldehyde(甲醛) sprayed cabbage, Sudan Red colored salty eggs, restaurants using gutter oil. The list is long…‖A varied and ancient food culture that is famous world-wide and which should have made the Chines e proud ends like this: one can only sigh. Food is the most vital thing in people’s lives. Yet China’s food industry is a typical description of ―bad money driving out the good‖. The market is huge while the cost of faking and cheating is so low for unscrupulous (不道德的) businessmen; and the punishment is too light. Take the milk industry as an example. Although Sanlu, the company that sold the melamine-adulterated milk powder, was punished, thousands of other dairies didn’t work hard to improve the quality. In order to allow national brands to survive, Chinese authorities are happy to loosen their regulations.As the documentary shows, people are attracted not to gourmet items like matsutake, a species of rare mushroom grown naturally in remote forests, but to common Chinese dishes like barley, lotus root or tofu. They are what meet our basic needs. This explains why people are so excited about A Bite of China---it is a reminder that there is still a world out there where food is excellent and people have dignity.5. The underlined word ―gourmet items‖ probably means________.A. beautiful clothesB. latest technologyC. delicious foodD. great inventions6. The second paragraph mainly talks about______.A. the producer of the documentB. the content of the documentC. the history of Chinese gourmetD. The popularity of the document7. We can infer from what a netizen wrote in one well –received article that ______.A. none of the television viewers have a knowledge of the Chinese food cultureB. there is a huge contrast between the ancient food culture and the realityC. the price of food is too high for many common peopleD. the documentary was made by a world-famous Chinese director8. According to the passage, China’s food industry is full of faking and cheating because_____.A. there are still so many poor people at the present timeB. the punishment for unscrupulous businessmen isn’t serious enoughC. the Chinese government encourages it to do soD. the food technology is not so advanced as in developed countriesCFor a while, my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. ―Come on!‖ My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. ―You’ll feel great.‖Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighb orhood jogging army, I’m not alone in my opinion.First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet take a real pounding（重击）running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something elseto worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, ―I love being out there with just my thoughts.‖ Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week;it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to w ork when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.9. The underlined word ―them‖(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _____.A. heart attacksB. back problemsC. famous joggersD. physical weaknesses10. What was the writer’s attitude towards jogging in the beginning?A. He felt it was worth a try.B. He was very fond of it.C. He was strongly against it.D. He thought it must be painful.11. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?A. He disliked doing exercise outside.B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.D. He was worried about being left alone.12. From the writer’s experience, we can conclude that______.A. not everyone enjoys joggingB. he is the only person who hates joggingC. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fitD. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sportDHave you got a Facebook account? Are you thinking of getting one? Jamie Simmonds has just signed up. Let’s see how she’s getting along.As from June 2012, Facebook had over 955 million active users. The average Facebook user has 130 friends. Facebook is translated into more than 70 different languages. The world spends 700 billion minutes a month on Facebook. Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook page says he’s a Harvard graduate, even though he actually dropped out to focus on Facebook. The site is valued at between $7.9 and $11 billion.13. Which of the following is conveyed in this passage?A. Visiting Facebook website took up a large part of Jamie’s time and energy.B. Jamie is enthusiastic about her present job.C. Facebbook was created by a Harvard graduate, Mark Zuckerberg.D. Compared with Facebook, Twitter is a better choice for Jamie.14. Why did Jamie’s boyfriend ask her whether she had broken up with him?A. He had seen photos of Jamie dancing on the table.B. She showed in her Facebook that she was still not dating anyone.C. Her boyfriend was angry that she refused to add him as her friend.D. He saw the name of her ex-boyfriend on his news feed.15. What does the word ―un-frie nd‖ mean in the underlined sentence ―Someone’s un-friended me!‖?A. Be unfriendly to othersB. Remove a name from friend listC. Have a quarrel with somebodyD. End friendship with somebody第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项，并将其答案标号涂在答题卡上对应题目的选项处。

Present第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）AMargeaux Wolberg was sitting with the other 12-year-olds in her class when one of the girls turned to her and asked, “Is your mom dead?”She never came to school like the other mothers to volunteer in the library or help the teachers. It was always Margeaux’s dad who did that.Margeaux reached for her laptop, typed a few words into Google and showed her classmate a list of hits with her mother’s name and job titles, from chief information officer at to her current role as vice-president of technology business operations at PayPal. “See, my mom’s not dead,” she said. “My mom’s famo us.”Kirsten Wolberg, 45, tells this story with pride. She doesn’t fall into the guilt trap these days when she has to miss a school play. Instead she is content that her two daughters are growing up with such a strong role model: a woman in a high-powered job in Silicon Valley.Long before either of her kids was bom , Wolberg and her future husband Michael had a conversation about how they would divide household and childcare duties. “I said, ‘Listen ，one of the things that’s really important to me is to have a parent at home full time，，” she remembers. “ 4And it can’t be me.，”Michael Wolberg, 43，worked for years for a pharmaceutical distributor（医药分销商）. But when Margeaux was bom, he quit — or retired, as he likes to say — to become a stay-at-home dad. And he hasn’t looked back. The relative quiet of spending 12 hours a day alone with a child suits his personality better than an office, he says, and much better than it would ever suit his wife.“She’s spent many, many years trying to get to the place where she is and even further，” he says, “and this lifestyle of crawling(爬行) around on the floor and changing diapers(尿片）and all kinds of other things is not for her.”56.From the first three paragraphs we know that Margeaux ______.A. felt hurt by her classmatesB. was proud of her motherC. felt disappointed with her motherD. was looked down upon in the school57.According to the passage, Kirsten ______.A. finds it hard to seek her kids’ understandingB. is glad to have set a good example to her kidsC. is as successful in her career as her husbandD. feels sorry for not helping in her girl’s school58. Why did Michael choose to be a stay-at-home dad?A. He was tired of his job。

How can you seek help from the Writing Centre?A. By applying onlineB. By filling in a sign-up formC. By calling the centreD. By going to the centre directlyBPeople aren’t walking any more--- if they can figure out a way to avoid it.I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my ca r to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps.But I used the car. And I wasn’t in any hurry, either, I had mer ely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(免疫的), for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my ow n two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good day’s walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking wa s a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced –and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liber ty.Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrhams, pointed out re cently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exerc ise--- the most familiar and natural of all.It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of g oing on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flower, ins ects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very f eel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have mad e it our way of life. Many people don’t dare to approach Natur e any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all th reat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.I say that the green of forests is the mind’s best light. And non e but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasti ng.5. What was life like when the author was young?A. People usually went around on foot.B. people often walked 25 miles a dayC. People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.D. people considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.6. The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove thatA. middle-aged people like getting back to natureB. walking in nature helps enrich one’s mindC. people need regular exercise to keep fitD. going on foot prevents heart disease7. What is compared to “a steel river” in Paragraph6?A. A queue of carsB. A ray of traffic lightC. A flash of lightningD. A stream of people8. What is the author’s intention of writing this passage?A. To tell people to reflect more on life.B. To recommend people to give up drivingC. To advise people to do outdoor activitiesD. To encourage people to return to walkingCChoosing the Right Resolution (决定)Millions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution th ey started 2013 with, a goal of losing weight. However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.To reach our goal of losing weight --- the output, we need to control what we eat --- the input ( 输入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to contro l the input. This is a bad way to construct goals. The alternativ e is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of resolving t o lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “I’ll stop having des sert for lunch,” or “I’ll walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentratingon the outcome.Recently a new science behind incentives (激励) , including in education, has been discussed. For example , researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he g ave students incentives based on input, like reading certain b ooks, while in others, the incentives were based on output, lik e results on exams. His main finding was that incentives incre ased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output. Fryer’s conclusion was that the intensives for inputs m ight be more effective because students do not know how to d o better on exam, aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control.As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a much higher chance of success. And it’s easier to start agai n if you fail, because you know exactly what you need to do. If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal woul d be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a caf e, for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. S pending less money isn’t a goal because it’s too general. Simi larly, if you want to spend more time with your family, don’t stop with this general wish. Think about an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday.In the long run, these new goals could become a habit.9. The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mist ake because_______ .A. it is hard to achieve for most AmericansB. it is focused too much on the resultC. it is dependent on too many thingsD. it is based on actiona ble decisions10. In Roland Fryer’s research, some students did better than the others because _________ .A. they obeyed all the general rulesB. they paid more attention to examsC. they were motivated by their classmatesD. they were rewarded for reading some books11. According to the writer, which of the following statements i s a good goal?A. “I’ll give up dessert.”B. “I’ll study harder.”C. “I’ll cut down my expense”D. “I’ll spend more time with my family”12. The writer strongly believes that we should ________ .A. develop good habits and focus on the outcomeB. be optimistic about final goals and stick to themC. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habitsD. set ambitious goals that can balance the input and outputDThe baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert （警觉）. Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have pla ced a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it ca refully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by anot her, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards c hange from one to the other, her gaze（凝视） starts to lose its focus — until a third, with three black sp ots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the nu mber two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming int o the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same ex periment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the s ame return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were s hown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect sep arate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the p attern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. B abies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a s creen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just t wo; likewise （同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to s pots.13. Babies are sensitive to the change in______.A. the size of cardsB. the colour of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects14. Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies’ interest.15. Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Children’s literature.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year‟s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put something in it.Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg,” and folks saved coins in pygg jars.The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two wor ds changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born.Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money--- college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.5. What is the piggy bank strategy?A. Paying 1% income tax at a time.B. Setting a goal before making a travel plan.C. Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.D. Aiming high even when doing small things.6. Why did the writer‟s pa rents give him a piggy bank as a gift?A. To delight him with the latest fashion.B. To encourage him to climb mountains.C. To teach him English pronunciation.D. To help him form the habit of saving.7. The piggy bank originally was ________.A. a cheap clay containerB. a potter‟s instrumentC. an animal-shaped dishD. a pig-like toy for children8. The last paragraph talks about ________.A. the seriousness of educating childrenB. the enjoyment of taking a great tripC. the difficulty of starting a businessD. the importance of managing moneyCThe behaviour of a building‟s users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放）by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own — though extremely important- is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too.The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率)，which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.…Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,‟explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher，…consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design. ‟In other words，old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home.Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill-payers don‟t have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information，it‟s hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈）facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors，could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.Social science research has added a further dimension (方面），suggesting that individuals‟ behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted — whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器) , for example.Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.9. As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of________.A. the behaviour of building usersB. zero-carbon homesC. sustainable building designD. the reduction of carbon emissions10. What are Katy Janda‟s words mainly about?A. The necessity of making a careful building design.B. The importance of changing building users‟ habits.C. The variety of consumption patterns of building users.D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.11. The information gap in energy use _______.A. affects the study on energy monitorsB. can be bridged by feedback facilitiesC. brings about problems for smart metersD. will be caused by building users‟ old habits12. What does the dimension added by social science research suggest?A. The social science research is to be furthered.B. The education programme is under discussion.C. The behaviour preference of building users is similar.D. The behaviour of building users is unpredictable.DThe kids in this village wear dirty, ragged clothes. They sleep beside cows and sheep in huts made of sticks and mud. They have no school. Yet they all can chant the English alphabet, and some can make words.The key to their success: 20 tablet computers(平板电脑) dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U.S. group called One Laptop Per Child.The goal is to find out whether kids using today‟s new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they‟re already amazed. “What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten,” said Matt Keller, who runs the Ethiopia program.The fastest learner—and the first to turn on one of the tablets—is 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse. The device‟s camera was disabled to save memory, yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work. He called himself a lion, a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia.With his tablet, Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows. Then he spelled words on his own. “Seven months ago he didn‟t know any English. That‟s unbelievable,” said Keller.The project aims to get kids to a stage called “deep reading,” where they can read to learn. It won‟t be in Amharic, Ethiopia‟s first language, but in English, which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs.13. How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village?A. It contributes to their self-study.B. It trains teachers for them.C. It helps raise their living standards.D. It provides funds for building schools.14. It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa could _______.A. draw pictures of animals.B. learn English words quickly.C. write letters to researchers.D. make phone calls to his friends.15. What is the aim of the project?A. To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs.B. To make Amharic widely used in the world.C. To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language.D. To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

How can you seek help from the Writing Centre?A. By applying onlineB. By filling in a sign-up formC. By calling the centreD. By going to the centre directlyBPeople aren’t walking any more--- if they can figure out a way to avoid it.I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn’t in a ny hurry, either, I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness：motorosis. It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(免疫的), for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good day’s walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced –and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrhams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise--- the most familiar and natural of all.It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significanceof seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don’t dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.I say that the green of forests is the mind’s best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.5. What was life like when the author was young?A. People usually went around on foot.B. people often walked 25 miles a dayC. People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.D. people considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.6. The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove thatA. middle-aged people like getting back to natureB. walking in nature helps enrich one’s mindC. people need regular exercise to keep fitD. going on foot prevents heart disease7. What is compared to “a steel river” in Paragraph6?A. A queue of carsB. A ray of traffic lightC. A flash of lightningD. A stream of people8. What is the author’s intention of writing this passage?A. To tell people to reflect more on life.B. To recommend people to give up drivingC. To advise people to do outdoor activitiesD. To encourage people to return to walkingCChoosing the Right Resolution (决定)Millions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution they started 2013 with, a goal of losing weight. However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.To reach our goal of losing weight --- the output, we need to control what we eat --- the input ( 输入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to controlthe input. This is a bad way to construct goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution：“I’ll stop having de s sert for lunch,” or “I’ll walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.Recently a new science behind incentives (激励) , including in education, has been discussed. For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books, while in others, the incentives were based on output, like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effec t on output. Fryer’s conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because students do not know how to do better on exam, aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control.As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a much higher chance of success. And it’s easier to start again if you fail, because you know exactly what you need to do.If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe, for example. This is awell-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isn’t a goal because it’s too general. Si milarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, don’t stop with this general wish. Think about an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday.In the long run, these new goals could become a habit.9. The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because_______ .A. it is hard to achieve for most AmericansB. it is focused too much on the resultC. it is dependent on too many thingsD. it is based on actionable decisions10. In Roland Fryer’s research, some students did better than the others because_________ .A. they obeyed all the general rulesB. they paid more attention to examsC. they were motivated by their classmatesD. they were rewarded for reading some books11. According to the writer, which of the following statements is a good goal?A. “I’ll give up de s sert.”B. “I’ll study harder.”C. “I’ll cut down my expense”D. “I’ll spend more time with my family”12. The writer strongly believes that we should ________ .A. develop good habits and focus on the outcomeB. be optimistic about final goals and stick to themC. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habitsD. set ambitious goals that can balance the input and outputDThe baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert （警觉）. Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视）starts to lose its focus — until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns：she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise （同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.13. Babies are sensitive to the change in______.A. the size of cardsB. the colour of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects14. Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies’ interest.15. Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Children’s li terature.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Some people claim to be suffering and say they want to change. Yet, their actions suggest 26 . Someone who is unhappy may not want to give up his 27 because it is a tool he uses to win sympathy or play the role of a martyr(乞怜者) 28 asking themselves, “Do I really want to change myself ?”Wanting to change is the first step and the second step is accepting29 . We should know not our parents or neighbors. It means we 30blaming the world for our suffering. It means we can’t look for 31 .Sidney Madwed explains, “Every man is the 32 of his own life. He builds it 33 the way he wants it. 34 , after he has built what he wants, he sometimes decides and looks for someone or something to blame 35 changing himself.” If we are unhappy it is because we are doing something wrong.36 will change until we change ourselves. 37 , we have tochange our thoughts, beliefs, and views. When we grasp this point, we will be 38 to move forward. “ If a person has so little 39 of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but himself, he will find his attempts 40 .”Many people , despite a 41 attempt to change, give up trying and return to their old ways. The main reason for this is that they 42 too soon. They want to see 43 changes overnight. And 44 theydon’t, they give up.
