I was 4 among a small group of college classmates to spend a year abroad. This was long before people could travel the world 5 through social media like Facebook, Instagram and Weibo. In order to see a place, you had to go there and 6 it firsthand.Living abroad can be exciting. I thought it would be 7 because I spoke the language, but I enjoyed the little differences between the British and American culture and language. For instance, instead of 8 the British called it “rubbish”; instead of favor they spelled it “favour”.But there were also 9 that year too. One of my classes was called “Europe Since 1870”.

But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked 4 the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. I 5 out to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. 6 he came close and lit the match, his eyes inadvertently locked with mine.

I said that I feared that I'd never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. 16 without another word, he 17 my cell (牢房) and silently led me out．Out of the jail，quietly and by back routes，out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me.

I remember sitting in that dark hall listening to Mr. Zigler 1 everyone’s spirits up to the ceiling, I 2 there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to 3 people feel like that.” My father asked me 4 I meant. “I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr. Zigler,” I replied．A 5 was born.Recently, I began seeking my dream of motivating others. 6 a four-year relationship with Fortune 100 Company 7 as a sales-trainer and ending as a regional sales manager, I left the company at the height of my 8 . Many people were 9 that I would leave after earning a six-figure income. And they asked 10 I would risk everything for a dream.I made my 11 to start my own company and leave my secure position after 12 a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a 13 that changed my life. He asked us, “If a god would offer you three wishes, what would they be?” After giving us a 14 to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, “Why do you need a 15 ?” I would never forget the power I felt at that moment. I realized that 16 I had accomplished in the past had prepared me for this moment. I was ready and didn’t need a god’s help to become a motivational speaker. A motivational speaker was 17 .Having made that decision, I was immediately 18 . One week after I gave notice, my husband was laid off from his job, and now we had no 19 . But I held fast to my dream. The wonder really began to happen. In a short time my husband found a better job．And I was able to book several 20 engagements with new customers.

From the first day he entered my junior-high classroom, Willard P. Franklin existed in his own world, 1 himself from his classmates and me, his teacher. My attempts at 2 up a friendly relationship with him were met with complete indifference. I came to know that Willard was 3 a loner who seemed to have no desire or need to 4 his barrier of silence.Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday, we received word of the 5 Christmas collection of money for the less 6 people in our school district.“Christmas is a season of giving,” I told my students. “There are a few students in the school who 7 not have a happy holiday season. By 8 our Christmas collection, you will help buy food, clothing and toys for these 9 people. We’ll start the collection tomorrow.”When I 10 the donation the next day, I discovered that almost everyone had 11 except Willard P. Franklin.

I couldn’t help sharing the 14 that had taken place.“I may be wrong, 15 I believe Willard might be getting ready to become a part of the world around him,” I told the principal.“Yes, I believe it sounds 16 ,” he nodded. “And I have a hunch(直觉) we might do well to have him 17 a bit of his world with us.

They could 4 .The employer was 5 to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, 6 over time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He used bad workmanship and 7 materials. It was an unfortunate way to 8 a dedicated（献身的）career.When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to 9 the house. Then he handed the front-door 10 to the carpenter and said, “This is your house... my 11 to you.”The carpenter was shocked!What a 12 ! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.13 it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting 14 than our best into the building.

Miss Bean was angry at how badly I was being 6 , but she didn’t say this to me. Miss Bean showed her 7 for me by teaching me just like anyone else. 8 being unnoticed, I was given a 9 to show that I was smart. Miss Bean was the first teacher who ever made me 10 for myself.

2024北京人大附中高二11月统练英语考试时间：60分钟满分：100分注意：请将Ⅱ卷答案写在答题纸上，请将Ⅰ卷答案填涂到机读卡上。
Ⅰ卷一、完形填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分）When I was three, I had a very good friend named Gemma. She was fearless where I was anxious, 1 where I was conservative and skillful where I was clumsy. She was also entirely imaginary.I can’t remember when or how I “met” Gemma, and, perhaps sadder still, I don’t remember the last time I “saw” her. Even though my brain created her, she 2 me to go on adventures I would not have had the confidence to embark upon without her. So it saddened me to see the results of a recent survey showing 72% of nursery workers believed children have fewer 3 friends than they did five years ago, with 63% believing this to be a result of increased screen time.It’s thought that 40% of us had imaginary friends during our 4 . In an essay, the researchers found that81% of those surveyed had “lost” their imaginary friends after they turned 10, but most of these friendships ended 5 . Perhaps imaginary friends simply stay with us for as long as we need them, moving on when our lives become too full and loaded for our brains to make space to generate their own 6 .If you’ve enjoyed an imaginary friendship, I’d guess that you did not consciously sit down to create a perfect pal - they probably arrived 7 . as an indication of thoughts and ideas you never knew you had. Our imaginary friends prompt us to explore and honour our curiosity. It is very hard to make the time and the space to do this as an adult. In order to be a good 8 to an imaginary friend, you need to be able to make “what if?” into an exciting plan. When we grow up, we’re too quick to finish the sentence with, “what if it goes wrong?”As an adult, we might not still need imaginary friends, but maybe we need to be reminded that a little bit of 9 is good for us, and that our brains can conjure up（想起）the best ideas when they are left to their own devices. If there are fewer imaginary friends populating the worlds that our children live in, that might lead to a future with fewer artists, writers and problem-solvers, which is a real cause for 10 .1.

If the lawyer defending you in court couldn’t stop joking, you’d be understandably alarmed.However, regarding humour as insignificance is a mistake. Humour, jokes and laughter, have a vital role to play in human behaviour and interaction. They are a powerful part of social bonding and are genuinely beneficial for health via their stress-relieving properties.Why do we respond, in such powerful and rewarding ways, to things that objectively make little sense? A substantial amount of data has been generated regarding how humour works in the brain and on the various types of recognizable jokes that trigger it.Verbal puns, the most familiar type of joke, involve words that convey two meanings at once. For example, “Why did the golfer wear two pairs of trousers? In case he got a hole in one.” Here “hole in one” has two possible interpretations. Their simplicity and familiarity mean most people recognize the humour in puns. So, the brain’s humour processes are still engaged.But where does humour arise from in the brain? Considerable research points towards a specific system in the brain for recognizing humour. This system seemingly detects and resolves incongruity（不和谐）. Our brains know how things, like language and behaviors, should work. But, in the real world, many things don’t match our expectations. It seems our brains have evolved a system to recognize when this happens.If normality is subverted, it means we don’t know what’s going to happen, which creates cognitive（认知）tension. However, the system that recognizes incongruity seemingly also resolves it, by providing an explanation, or at least a confirmation that the incongruity has no negative consequences. This removes the uncertainty, relieving the tension. So, we experience a rewarding feeling. If the incongruity is not resolved, however, humour is absent. If the answer to “Why did the golfer wear two pairs of trousers?” is “in case the metal owl that lives in his gold bag attacks him”, that’s not funny. There’s unresolved incongruity.Humour is essentially our brain going, “This isn’t how things usually work, but I’m okay with it!”14. What does the author say about humor in the first two paragraphs?A. It mainly serves to entertain and amuse.B. It is essential for professional communication.C. Its harmful effects shouldn’t be ignored.D. Its positive role is often underrated.15. Why does the author mention the “hole in one” example in paragraph 4?A. To prove a theory.B. To draw a conclusion.C. To make a comparison.D. To illustrate a concept.16. What does the underlined word “subverted” in paragraph 6 probably mean?A. Overturned.B. Repeated.C. Established.D. Detected.17. What is the best title for the text?A. Jokes and the Brain’s Reward SystemB. Using Humor to Boost Brain PowerC. Unlocking Brain Secrets Behind HumorD. How Jokes Affect Brain StructuresCLia Thomas, a student at the University of Pennsylvania, is an excellent swimmer. She often beats her rivals by tens of seconds, breaking records. Her success is based on three things. One is natural talent. Another is persistent training. And the third is biology.For although she identifies as a woman, Ms Thomas was born male. Since humans cannot change their sex （unlike their self-identified gender）, she remains that way. On the eve of her biggest competition, Ms Thomas finds herself at the centre of the bad-tempered debate about whether trans women— males who identify as women— should compete in women’s sports. That, in turn, is part of a broader argument: should brute（纯粹的）biological facts sometimes override people’s deeply held feelings about their identities?This newspaper believes it is almost always unfair to allow transgender women to compete in women’s sports. The advantages bestowed by male puberty（青春期）are so big that no amount of training or talent can enable female athletes to overcome them. Florence Griffith Joyner’s 100-metres world sprinting record has stood for three decades. A male matching it would not even make it to the Olympics, let alone the final. In 2016, at an American event for high-schoolers, four of the eight boys in the 100-metres final ran faster.Much of the male advantage is granted by testosterone（睾丸素）, a potent anabolic steroid whose levels rise sharply in male puberty. For many years, many sporting bodies, following the lead of the International Olympic Committee, hoped to deal with the issue by allowing trans women to compete in women’s events provided they took testosterone-suppressing drugs. But the science suggests this does not level the playing field. Suppressing testosterone in adults, it seems, does little to undo the advantages granted by a male adolescence.Sports must therefore choose between inclusion and fairness; and they should choose fair play. That does not mean, as is sometimes claimed, that trans women would be barred from all sport. One way to make that clear would be to replace the “men’s” and “women’s” categories with “open” and “female” ones. The first would be open to all comers. The second would be restricted on the basis of biology.Sport is public, and results can be measured objectively. That means the argument that the material facts of biology should sometimes outrank a person’s subjective sense of identity is easier to make. But bias exists, as a Republican bill in Florida to restrict “instruction” in schools about gender identity or sexual orientation makes plain. That should be resisted.Most of the time, it costs little or nothing to respect people’s choices about how they wish to present themselves. In the rare cases where rights clash（不相容）, society must weigh the balance sensitively and with open eyes.18. The author mentions Joyner’s 100-metres world sprinting record to show that ________.A. most female athletes can’t rival trans women athletesB. male puberty is the best time for sports competitionC. it is unfair for Ms Thomas to compete in women’s sportsD. this record can’t make a male reach the threshold of the Olympics19.

What is the author’s attitude towards trans people in sports competition?A. disagreeableB. open-mindedC. sym patheticD. conservative21. Which might be the best title for the passage?A. Inclusion and FairnessB. Respect People’s ChoicesC. “Open” and “Female” in SportsD. Biology Matters A Great DealDThe Importance of ListeningGood communicators know the value of listening. They will tell you that in communication listening is more important than even speaking. You learn it early in your education. If you do not listen to your teacher in the classroom and follow his lecture, you may make mistakes in your responses or will have to spend more time studying and understanding the same. 22Effective listening has several advantages. Speaking exhausts you, whereas listening enriches you. A speaker betrays both his knowledge and ignorance, while a listener remains mysterious and eludes others’ judgment. When you listen attentively, you increase your knowledge of people and situations and your chances of becoming likable, friendly, and agreeable. People prefer being in the company of sympathetic listeners rather than garrulous speakers.23 Hence, they readily open their minds and hearts to those who are willing to listen to them.Thus, active listening is the foundation of any good conversation. If you want to be friendly with others and increase your zone of influence, you must listen to them most of the time and speak only when necessary. Those who always speak run the risk of attracting unwanted public attention and even ridicule, whereas good listeners quietly mingle with strangers and find new friends. 24 It helps you in teamwork, leadership, conflict resolution, negotiations, team building, and problem solving.25 It only means you have to pay attention, show respect and listen with concentration. By listening actively and paying attention, you can change the tone and tenor of any conversation. When you listen attentively, others feel comfortable in your presence and open their hearts and minds.Good listeners are enablers. They empower people. 26 When you listen attentively, you can observe and understand others and develop a better insight into their behavior. When you speak your mind will be preoccupied with what you want to say next, whereas when you listen you have a better opportunity to relax, observe and stay with the moment.A. They want to be heard and understood, rather than lectured and dominated.B. Listening helps you to know others, gather information and build relationships.C. They facilitate conversation, promote understanding and diffuse tense situations.D. Actively listening can greatly improve the quality of your relationships and communication.E. Listening does not mean you have to agree with everything or submit to everyone’s opinion.F. Your listening habits are a part of your personality and a reflection of your beliefs and attitude.G. Unfortunately, most of us do not remember this simple virtue later in life and are carried away by the charms of speech.Ⅱ卷一、补全短文（共10小题；每小题1分，共10分）阅读下面的短文，从A—J中选择适当的短语补全意思并写在答题纸上。

Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A,B,C or D on ANSWER SHEET 1.(10 points)In our contemporary culture, the prospect of communicating with - or even looking at - a stranger is virtually unbearable. Everyone around us seems to agree by the way they cling to their phones, even without a 1 on a subway.It’s a sad reality - our desire to avoid interacting with other human beings- because there’s 2 to be ga ined from talking to the stranger standing by you. But you wouldn’t know it, 3 into your phone. This universal protection sends the 4 :“Please don’t approach me.〞What is it that makes us feel we need to hid 5 our screens?One answer is fear, according to Jon Wortmann, an executive mental coach. We fear rejection, or that our innocent social advances will be 6 as “weird.〞We fear we’ll be 7 . We fear we’ll be disruptive.Strangers are inherently 8 to us, so we are more likely to feel 9 when communicating with them compared with our friends and acquaintances. To avoid this uneasiness, we 10 to turn our phones. “Phones become our security blanket,〞Wortmann says. “They are our happy glasses that protect us from what we perceive is going to be more 11 .〞But once we rip off the band-aid, tuck our smartphones in our pockets and look up, it doesn’t12 so bad.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A,B,C,or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(40 points)Text 1A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys，people are actually more stressed at home than at work. Researchers measured people’s cortisol, which is a stress marker, while they were at were work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.“Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home.〞Write one of the researchers, Sarah Damaske.In fact women even sa y they feel better at work, she notes, “It is men, not women, who report being happier at home than at work.〞Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children and without, but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn’t measure is whether people are still doing work when they’re at home, whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men, the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who say home, they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch—up—with—household tasks. With the blurring of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace inmakin g adjustments for working women, it’s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it’s not just a gender thing. At work, people pretty much know what they’re supposed to be doing：working, making money, doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure; Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life—sustaining moola.On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done,there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues—your family—have no clear rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues—your family—have no clear rewards for their labor; they need to be talked into it, or if they’re teenagers, threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices. Plus, they’re your family. You cannot fire your family. You ne ver really get to go home from home.So it’s not surprising that people are more stressed at home. Not only are the tasks apparently infinite, the co—workers are much harder to motivate.21.According to Paragraph 1，most previous surveys found that home .[A]was an unrealistic place for relaxation[B]generated more stress than the workplace[C]was an ideal place for stress measurement[D]offered greater relaxation than the workplace22.According to Damaske，who are likely to be the happiest at home?[A]Working mothers[B]Childless husbands[C]Childless wives[D]Working fathers23.The blurring of working women’s roles refers to the fact that .[A]they are both bread winners and housewives[B]their home is also a place for kicking back[C]there is often much housework left behind[D]it is difficult for them to leave their office24.The word “moola〞(Tine 4，Para 4)most probably means .[A]energy[B]skills[C]earnings[D]nutrition25.The home front differs from the workplace in that .[A]home is hardly a cozier working environment[B]division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut[C]household tasks are generally more motivating[D]family labor is often adequately rewardedText 2For years, studies have found that first-generation college student – those who do not have a parent with a college degree – lag other students on a range of education achievement factors. Their grades are lower than and their dropout rates are higher. But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education, colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them. This has created “a paradox〞in that recruiting first-generation student, but then watching many of them fail, means that higher education has “continued to reprodu ce and widen, rather than close.〞An achievement gap based on social class, according to the depressing beginning of a paper forthcoming in the journal Psychological Science.But the article is actually quite optimistic, as it outlines a potential solution to this problem, suggesting that an approach (which involves a one-hour, next-to-no-cost program) can close 63 percent of the achievement gap (measured by such factors as grades) between first-generation and other students.The authors of the paper are from different universities, and their findings are based on a study involving 147 students (who completed the project) at an unnamed private university. First generation was defined as not having parent with four-year college degree. Most of the first-generation students (59.1 percent) were recipients of Pell Grants, a federal grant of undergraduates with financial need, while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students with at least one parent with four-year degree.Their thesis – that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact – was based on the view that first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students. They cite past research by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be narrowed to close the achievement gap.Many first-generation students “struggled to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education, learn the ‘rules of the game,’ and take advantage of coll ege resources,〞they write. And this becomes more of a problem when colleges don’t talk about the class advantages and disadvantages of different groups of students. Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect studen ts’ educational experiences, many first-generation students lack of sight about why they are struggling and do not understand students ‘like them’ can improve.〞26. Recruiting more first-generation students has .[A]. reduced their dropout rates[B]. narrowed the achievement gap[C]. missed its original purpose[D]. depressed college students27. The author of the research article are optimistic because .[A]. the problem is solvable[B]. their approach is costless[C]. the recruiting rate has increased[D]. their findings appeal to students28. The study suggests that most first-generation students .[A]. study at private universities[B]. are from single-parent families[C]. are in need of financial support[D]. have failed their college29. The author of the paper believe that first-generation students .[A]. are actually indifferent to the achievement gap[B]. can have a potential influence on other projects[C]. may lack opportunities to apply research projects[D]. are inexperienced in handling their issues at college30. We may infer from the last paragraph that .[A]. universities often reject the culture of their middle-class[B]. students are usually to blame for their lack of resources[C]. social class greatly helps enrich educational experiences.[D].colleges are partly responsible for the problem in questionText 3Even in traditional offices, “the lingua franca of corporate America has gotten much more emotional and much more right-brained than it was 20 years ago,〞said Harvard Business School professor Nancy Koehn. She started spinning off examples. “If you and I parachuted back to Fortune 500 companies in 1990, we would see much less frequent use of terms like journey, mission, passion. There were goals, there were strategies, there were o bjectives, but we didn’t talk about energy; we didn’t talk about passion.〞Koehn pointed out that this new era of corporate vocabulary is very “team〞-oriented—and not by coincidence. “Let’s not forget sports—in male-dominated corporate America, it’s still a big deal. It’s not explicitly conscious; it’s the idea that I’m a coach, and you’re my team, and we’re in this together. There are lots and lots of CEOs in very different companies, but most think of themselves as coaches and this is their team and they want to win.〞These terms are also intended to infuse work with meaning—and, as Khurana points out, increase allegiance to the firm. “You have the importation of terminology that historically used tobe associated with non-profit organizations and religious organizations: Terms like vision, values, passion, and purpose,〞said Khurana.This new focus on personal fulfillment can help keep employees motivated amid increasingly loud debates over work-life balance. The “mommy wars〞of the 1990s are still going on today, prompting arguments about why women still can’t have it all and books like Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In, whose title has become a buzzword in its own right. Terms like unplug, offline, life-hack, bandwidth, and capacity are all about setting boundaries between the office and the home. But if your work is your “passion,〞you’ll be more likely to devote yourself to it, even if that means going home for dinner and then working long after the kids are in bed.But this seems to be the irony of office speak: Everyone makes fun of it, but managers love it, companies depend on it, and regular people willingly absorb it. As Nunberg said, “You can get people to think it’s nonsense at the same time that you buy into it.〞In a workpl ace that’s fundamentally indifferent to your life and its meaning, office speak can help you figure out how you relate to your work—and how your work defines who you are.31. According to Nancy Koehn ,office languages become_____.[A] more emotional[B] more objective[C] less energetic[D] less strategic32.〞Team〞-oriented corporate vocabulary is closely related to_____.[A] historical incidents[B] gender difference[C] sports culture[D] athletic executives33.Khurana believes that the importation of terminology aims to_____.[A] revive historical terms[B] promote company image[C] forster corporate cooperation[D] strengthen employee loyalty34.It can be inferred that Lean In_____.[A]voices for working women[B] appeals to passionate workaholics[C] triggers debates among mommies[D] praises motivated employees35.Which of the following statements is ture about office speak?[A]Managers admire it but avoid it.[B] Linguists believe it to be nonsense.[C]Companies find it to be fundamental.[D] Regular people mock it but accept it.Text 4Many people talked of the 288,000 new jobs the Labor Department reported for June, along with the drop in the unemployment rate to 6.1percent, as good news. And they were right. For now it appears the economy is creating jobs at a decent pace. We still have a long way to go to get back to full employment, but at least we are now finally moving forward at a faster pace.However, there is another important part of the jobs picture that was largely overlooked. There was a big jump in the number of people who report voluntarily working part-time. This figure is now 830,000 (4.4 percent) above its year ago level.Before explaining the connection to the Obamacare, it is worth making an important distinction. Many people who work part-time work because this is all they can get. An increase in involuntary part-time work is evidence of weakness in the labor market and it means that many people will be having a very hard time making ends meet.There was an increase in involuntary part-time in June, but the general direction has been down. Involuntary part-time employment is still far higher than before the recession, but it is down by 640,000(7.9percent) from is its year level.We know the difference between voluntary and involuntary part-time employment because people tell us. The survey used by the Labor Department asks people if they worked less than 35 hours in the reference week. If the answer is “yes,〞they are classified as working part-time. The survey then asks whether they worked less than 35 hours in that week because they wanted to work less than full time or because they had no choice. They are only classified as voluntary part-time workers if they tell the survey taker they chose to work less than 35 hours a week.The issue of voluntary part-time relates to Obamacare because one of the main purpose was to allow people to get insurance outside of employment. For many people, especially those with serious health conditions or family members with serious health conditions, before Obamacare the only way to get insurance was through a job that provided health insurance.However, Obamacare has allowed more than 12 million people to either get insurance through Medicaid or the exchanges. These are people who may previously have felt the need to get a full-time job that provided insurance in order to cover themselves and their families. With Obamacare there is no longer a link between employment and insurance.36.Which part of the jobs picture was neglected?[A] The prospect of a thriving job market.[B] The increase of voluntary part-time jobs.[C] The possibility of full employment.[D] The acceleration of job creation.37.Many people work part-time because they_____.[A] prefer part-time jobs to full-time jobs.[B] feel that is enough to make ends meet.[C] cannot get their hands on full-time jobs.[D] haven’t seen the weakness of the market.38.Involuntary part-time employment in the US____.[A] is harder to acquire than one year ago.[B] shows a general tendency of decline.[C] satisfies the real need of the jobless.[D] is lower than befor the recession.39.It can be learned that with Obamacare,_____.[A] it is no longer easy for part-times to get insurance.[B] employment is no longer a precondition to get insurance.[C] it is still challenging to get insurance for family members.[D] full-time employment is still essential for insurance.40.The text mainly discusses_____.[A] employment in the US.[B] part-timer clssification.[C] insurance through Medicaid.[D] Obamacare’s trouble.PART BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A-G for each paragraph (41-45). There are two extra subheadings which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)[A]You are not alone[B]Don’t fear responsibility for your life[C]Pave your own unique path[D] Most of your fears are unreal[E] Think about the present moment[F]Experience helps you grow[G]There are many things to be grateful forSome Old Truths to Help You Overcome Tough TimesUnfortunately, life is not a bed of roses. We are going through life facing sad experiences. Moreover, we are grieving various kinds of loss: a friendship, a romantic relationship or a house. Hard times may hold you down at what usually seems like the most inopportune time, but you should remember that they won't last forever.When our time of mourning is over, we press forward, stronger with a greater understanding and respect for life. Furthermore, these losses make us mature and eventually move us toward future opportunities for growth and happiness. I want to share these old truths I've learned along the way.Fear is both useful and harmful. This normal human reaction is used to protect us by signaling danger and preparing us to deal with it. Unfortunately, people create inner barriers with a help of exaggerating fears. My favorite actor Will Smith once said, “Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice.〞I do completely agree that fears are just the product of own luxuriant imagination.If you are surrounded by problems and cannot stop thinking about past, try to focus on the present moment. Many of us are weighed down by the past or anxious about the future. You may feel guilt over your past, but you are poisoning the present with the things and circumstances you cannot change. Value the present moment and remember how fortunate you are to be alive. Enjoy the beauty of the world around and keep the eyes open to see the possibilities before you. Happiness is not point of future and not a moment from the past, but a mindset thancan be designed in to the present.Sometimes it is easy to feel bad because you are going to through tough times. You can be easily caught up by life problems that you forget to pause and appreciate the things you have. Only strong people prefer to smile and value their life instead of crying and complaining about something.No matter how isolated you might feel and how serious the situation is, you should always remember that you are not alone. Try to keep in mind that almost everyone respects and wants to help you if you are trying to make a good change in your life, especially your dearest and nearest people. You may have a circle of friends or relatives, try to participate in several online communities, full of people who are always willing to share advice and encouragement.Today many people find it difficult to trust their own opinion and seek balance by gaining objectivity from external sources. This way you devalue your opinion and show that you are incapable of managing your own life. When you are struggling to achieve something important you should believe in yourself and be sure that your decision is the best. You live in your skin, think your own thoughts, have your own values and make your own choices.Section III Translation46. DirectionsTranslate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.(15 points)Think about driving a route that’s very familiar. It could be your comminutes to work, a trip into town or the way home. Whichever it is, you know every twist step turn like the back of your hand. On these steps of trips it’s easy to lose concentration is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has.This is the well-travelled road effect. People tend to underestimate the time it takes to travel a familiar route.The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention. When we travel down a well-known route, because we don’t have to concentrate much, time seems to flow more quickly. And afterward, when we come to think back on it, we can’t remember the journey well because we didn’t pay much attention to it. So we assume it was shorter.Section IV WritingPart A47.

He gave me a cent for every nail I 2 out of old boards.I got my first 3 job, at JM‟s Restaurant in town, when I was 12. My main responsibilities (职责)were 4 tables and washing dishes, 5 sometimes I helped cook.Every day after school I would 6 to JM‟s and work until ten. Even on Saturdays I 7 from two until eleven. At that age it was difficult going to work and 8 my friends run off to swim or play. I didn‟t necessarily like work, but I loved what working 9 me to have. Because of my 10 I was always the one buying when my friends and I went to the local Tastee Freez. This made me 11 .Word that I was trustworthy and hard-working 12 around town. A local clothing store offered me credit (赊帐) 13 I was only in seventh grade. I immediately 14 a $68 sports coat and a $22 pair of shoes. I was 15 only 65 cents an hour, and I already owed the storekeeper $90! So I learned 16 the danger of easy credit. I paid it 17 as soon as I could.My first job taught me self-control, responsibility and brought me a 18 of personal satisfaction few of my friends had experienced. As my father, 19 worked three jobs, once told me, “If you 20 sacrifice (奉献) and responsibility, there are not many things in life you can‟t have.” How right he was!1．A．Before B．Within C．From D．By2．A．pulled B．put C．picked D．pressed 3．A．usual B．real C．main D．particular 4．A．sweeping B．packing C．clearing D．emptying 5．A．or B．so C．but D．even6．A．head B．turn C．change D．move 7．A．studied B．worked C．played D．slept 8．A．helping B．having C．watching D．letting 9．A．asked B．told C．promised D．allowed 10．A．study B．power C．age D．job 11．A．proud B．friendly C．lucky D．hopeful 12．A．ran B．got C．flew D．carried 13．A．although B．while C．if D．since 14．A．sold B．borrowed C．charged D．wore 15．A．keeping B．making C．paying D．taking 16．A．gradually B．greatly C．hardly D．early 17．A．out B．over C．away D．off 18．A．point B．level C．part D．sign19．A．he B．that C．who D．whoever 20．A．understand B．demand C．offer D．fearIt was the night before the composition was due. As I looked at the list of topics (题目), “The Art of Eating Spaghetti (意大利面条)”caught my eye. The word“Spaghetti”brought back the 1 of an evening at Uncle Allen‟s in Belleville 2 all of us were seated around the table and Aunt Pat 3 spaghetti for supper. Spaghetti was an exotic (外来的) treat in 4 days. Never had I eaten spaghetti, and 5 of the grown-ups had enough experience to be 6 it. What laughing 7 we had about the 8 respectable method for moving spaghetti from plate to mouth. 9 , I wanted to write about that, but I wanted to 10 it down simply for my own 11 , not for Mr. Fleagle, my composition teacher. 12 , I would write something else.When I finished it the night was half gone and there was no 13 left to write a proper composition for Mr. Fleagle. There was no choice next morning but to 14 my work. Two days passed before Mr. Fleagle returned the 15 papers. He said, “Now, class, I want to read you a composition, …The Art of Eating Spaghetti‟.”My words! He was reading my words out 16 to the whole class. 17 laughed, then the whole class was laughing with open-hearted enjoyment.

My foot still hadn‟t healed (痊愈) from a (n) 1 injury.I had 2 whether or not I should attend the meet. But there I was, 3 for the 3,000 meter run.“Ready…set…”The gun popped and we were off. The other girls rushed 4 me. I felt 5 as I fell farther and farther behind.“Hooray!”shouted the crowd. It was the loudest 6 I had ever heard at a meet. The first-place runner was two laps (圈) ahead of me when she crossed the finish line.“Maybe I should 7 ,”I thought as I moved on. 8 , I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I ran 9 and decided not to 10 in track next year. It wouldn‟t be worth it, 11 my foot did heal.When I finished, I heard a cheer—12 than the one I‟d heard earlier. I turned around and 13 , the boys were preparing for their race. “They must be cheering for the boys.”I was leaving 14 several girls came up to me. “Wow, you‟ve got courage!” one of them told me.“Courage? I just 15 a race!” I thought.“I would have given up on the first lap,” said another girl, “We were cheering for you. Did you hear us?”Suddenly I regained 16 . I decided to 17 track next year.

A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can 1 swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still 2 away. A mother who has not 3 the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star”or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follow: 4 we have learned something, additional learning increases the 5 of time we will remember it.In children, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and 6 ourselves of poems such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderrella or Snow White. We not only learn but 7 .The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习)for an examination, 8 it may result in a passing grade, is not a 9 way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, 10 , is usually a good investment toward the future.1．A．only B．hardly C．still D．even 2．A．move B．drive C．travel D．ride 3．A．thought about B．cared for C．showed up D．brought up 4．A．Before B．Once C．Until D．Unless 5．A．accuracy B．unit C．limit D．length 6．A．remind B．inform C．warn D．recall 7．A．recite B．overlearn C．research D．improve 8．A．though B．so C．if D．after 9．A．convenient B．demanding C．satisfactory D．swift10．A．at most B．by the way C．on the other hand D．in the endThe birthrate in Europe has been in a steady decrease since the 1960s. European countries, realising crisis is at hand, are providing great encouragement for parents to create more babies in the 21st century.Affairs Ministry concluded last year that, 1 cash encouragement, some women just don‟t want to be 2 holding the baby. “What we know is that it‟s good for the 3 if men and women share the burden of having children,”says Soren Kindlund, family policy adviser at the Swedish ministry. 4 Swedish parents can take their paid leave as they wish, men use a mere 12% of it, 60% of fathers do not take even a(n) 5 day off work.Experts fear that the tendency for women to use most of the parental leave could make employers 6 to give young women the permanent jobs they need to qualify for paid maternity leave(产假). In January, Sweden decided to allow new fathers two months‟paid leave, with a warning: use it or 7 it.Kindlund admits that men are under 8 to stay at work, even though parental pay comes out of the public purse. “It‟s not popular among bosses and perhaps with other men in the workplace,” he says, “But it‟s good for the father and for the child if they can 9 a relationship.”In Norway, a(n) 10 policy has worked wonders. 70% of dads in Norway now take parental leave, and the birthrate of 1.85 children per woman is one of the highest in Europe. 1．A．in spite of B．at the cost of C．in addition to D．due to2．A．sent B．left C．caught D．seen 3．A．birthrate B．income C．health D．spirit4．A．Just as B．Only if C．Even though D．Now that 5．A．one B．mere C．only D．single 6．A．willing B．reluctant C．likely D．unable 7．A．reserve B．misuse C．ignore D．lose 8．A．discussion B．attack C．control D．pressure 9．A．make out B．add up C．build up D．set aside 10．A．impersonal B．similar C．severe D．globalA little boy invited his mother to attend his school‟s first teacher-parent meeting. To the little boy‟s 1 , she said she would go. This 2 be the first time that his classmates and teacher 3 his mother and he felt 4 of her appearance. Although she was a beautiful woman, there was a severe scar (疤痕) that 5 nearly the entire right side of her face. The boy never wanted to 6 why or how she got the scar.At the meeting, the people were 7 by the kindness and natural beauty of his mother 8 the scar, but the little boy was still embarrassed (尴尬) and 9 himself from everyone. He did, however, get within 10 of a conversation between his mother and his teacher.The teacher asked 11 , “How did you get the scar on your face?”The mother replied, “12 my son was a baby, he was in a room that caught fire. Everyone was 13 afraid to go in because the fire was 14 , so I went in. As I was running toward his bed, I saw a long piece of wood coming down and I was running toward his bed, I saw a long piece of wood coming down and I placed myself over him trying to protect him. I was knocked 15 but fortunately, a fireman came in and saved both of us.”She 16 the burned side of her face. “This scar will be 17 , but to this day, I have never 18 what I did.”At this point, the little boy came out running toward his mother with tears in his eyes.

I rushed out of the 1 in search of it. I was wildly excited, and as 2 as if I were going on the stage. Finding the 3 quite easily, I ran breathlessly through a door which said “Enter without knocking, if you please.”The simple atmosphere of the office 4 me. The woman looked carefully at me 5 through her glasses, and then 6 me in a low voice. I answered softly. All of a sudden, I started to feel rather 7 . She wondered why I was looking for this sort of 8 . I felt even more helpless when she told me that it would be 9 to get a job without 10 . I wondered whether I ought to leave, 11 the telephone on her desk rang. I heard her say：“12 , I‟ve got someone in the 13 at this very moment who might 14 .”She wrote down a 15 , and held it out to me, saying：“Ring up this lady. She wants a 16 immediately. In fact, you would have to start tomorrow by cooking a dinner for ten people.”“Oh yes,” said I —17 having cooked for more than four in my life. I 18 her again and again, and rushed out to the 19 telephone box. I collected my thoughts, took a deep breath, and rang the number.

She told the front-desk clerk she had had a(n) 3 vacation, but was heart-broken about 4 several rolls of Kodak color film she had not yet 5 . At that moment she was particularly 6 over the loss of the pictures she had shot at our Polynesian Luau, 7 this was a memory she especially treasured.Now, please understand that we have no written service rules 8 lost photos in the park. 9 , the clerk at the front desk 10 Disney‟s idea of caring for our 11 . She asked the woman to leave her a couple rolls of 12 film, promising she would take care of the rest of our show at Polynesian Luau.Two weeks later the guest received a 13 at her home. In it were photos of all the actors of our show, 14 signed by each performer. There were also 15 of the public procession (游行队伍)and fireworks in the park, taken by the front-desk clerk in her own 16 after work. I happened to know this 17 because this guest wrote us a letter.
