His attitude didn't soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home，Dad never met me，even in severe weather. If I grumbled，he'd say in his loudest fathervoice，"That's what your legs are for！"‎ ‎ The walk didn't bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn't seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.‎ ‎ It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop，I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.‎ ‎ A row of hedges(树篱)edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey，I always had a sense of relief to see the hedges because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening，the hedges had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedges，moving toward the house. Upon closer observation，I realized it was the top of my father's head. Then I knew，each time I'd come home，he had stood behind the hedges，watching，until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care，after all.‎ ‎ On later visits，that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home，I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair."So，my son，it's you！" he'd say，his face lengthening into pretended surprise.‎ ‎ I replied，"Yes，Dad，it's me. I'm home."‎ ‎21．What does the underlined word "grumbled" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?‎ ‎ A．Accepted happily. B．Explained clearly.‎ ‎ C．Agreed willingly. D．Spoke unhappily.‎ ‎22．What made the author feel upset was ______. ‎ ‎ A. the tiredness after long hours in labs ‎ B．the fear of seeing something moving ‎ C．the feeling of being less than valued ‎ D．the loneliness of riding the bus home ‎23．The author's father watched behind the hedges because _____.‎ ‎ A．he was concerned about his son's safety ‎ B．he wanted to help his son build up courage ‎ C．he didn't want to meet his son at the doorway ‎ D．he didn't think his son was old enough to walk alone ‎24．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A．My Father's Secret B．My College Life ‎ C．My Terrible Journey Home D．Riding the Bus Alone B ‎ Many people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometown behind. Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.‎ ‎ One of the first considerations may be finance. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.‎ ‎ Another major factor is location. Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake. Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college. Distance from home may also come into consideration. If family is a top priority, that person should stay close to home; on the other hand, if independence is desired, a campus farther from home would be more appropriate.‎ ‎ School size also plays a major role in the decision process. If you want to get to know your teachers, a small college is suitable. For those of you who consider yourself a "people person" and want a wide range of activities, a large college is more fitting. Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decisionmaking process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.‎ ‎ Crucially, one must first take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match. Similarly, an average school for an aboveaverage student would not work well. The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there, there probably will be one that is close. Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.‎ ‎25．When it comes to going to college the author thinks ______．‎ ‎ A．students will become homesick ‎ B．students are unwilling to leave their home ‎ C．economic situation is the first to consider ‎ D．students are eager to attend their ideal university　‎ ‎26．What does the underlined part a "people person" in the passage mean?‎ ‎ A．A very sociable person. B．A very particular person. ‎ ‎ C．A person of great capacity. D．A person of great importance.‎ ‎27．Which is the most important factor when choosing a college？　‎ ‎ A．The location of a college. B．The coming challenges.‎ ‎ C．School size. D．The examination result.‎ C ‎ They are most likely to be healthy, wealthy and wise, according to the old saying.‎ But those who are early to bed and early to rise do not always have the upper hand, researchers say. They have revealed that night owls are generally brighter and wealthier than those able to get up early in the morning.‎ ‎ Experts from the University of Madrid carried out tests on around 1,000 teenagers and found that those who preferred to stay up late demonstrated the kind of intelligence associated with honored jobs and higher incomes. ‘Larks' or ‘morning people’, however, often acquired better exam results, possibly because lessons are held at the wrong time of day for night owls. The researchers examined the habits and body clocks of the youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep ‎ in later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early and were at their peak in the morning. School performance and inductive (归纳的) intelligence, or problem solving, were measured and academic grades in the major subjects were also taken into account. The results showed that evening types scored higher than morning types on inductive reasoning, which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and a strong indicator of academic performance. They also had a greater capacity to think conceptually as well as analytically. Such abilities have been linked to innovative thinking, more admired occupations and better incomes.‎ ‎ Famous night owls include President Obama, Charles Darwin, Winston Churchill, Keith Richards and Elvis Presley. George W. Bush, who is regularly in bed by 10pm, Thomas Edison, Napoleon, Condoleezza Rice, who wakes at 4.30am, and Ernest Hemingway are among those known as larks. Jim Horne, professor of psychophysiology at Loughborough University, said: "Evening types tend to be the more active and creative types, like the poets, artists and inventors, while the morning types are the deducers (推断者), as are often seen with civil servants and accountants." A previous study of US Air Force recruits found evening types were much better at thinking laterally (横向) to solve problems than larks.‎ ‎28. The following features belong to night owls except that _______.‎ ‎ A. Night owls are much healthier, wealthier and wiser ‎ B. Night owls have a strong ability to reason logically ‎ C. Night owls stay up late and sleep later in the morning ‎ D. Night owls are expert in analyzing and innovative thinking ‎29. What's the author's attitude towards night owls?‎ ‎ A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Subjective. D. Objective.‎ ‎30. According to the passage, which of the following is true?‎ ‎ A. The early bird will catch the worm.‎ ‎ B. Morning types have a tendency to do some creative jobs.‎ ‎ C. Night owls usually do poorer in the examinations than larks.‎ ‎ D. President Obama and George W. Bush are models of night owls.‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ You often find somebody who works around you complaining all the time, don't you？ 31 About 70% of Americans say being around nonstop complainers sometimes has a bad influence on them. Luckily, here are 4 tips to help form positive patterns.‎ ‎1．Selfawareness ‎ When a negative thought pops into your mind, immediately correct it. Instead of telling yourself "That's a nice shirt, but I can't afford it"， change the message to "That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it"． 32 ‎ Of course, everyone complains sometimes. But the less frequently you complain, the better you will feel.‎ ‎2．Distance yourself ‎ 33 Excuse yourself and go somewhere quiet，somewhere outdoors in the fresh air. Think of something pleasant before returning. You have ‎ to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand (难以摆脱的困境)．‎ ‎3．Don't try to change complainers ‎ If you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social event, simply choose silence. Let their words bounce off you while you think of something else. Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a target. 34 If someone says, "I hate Mondays；weekends are too short，" try to think, " I'm glad I rested over the weekend, so I'm ready to make some improvement on that big project."‎ ‎4． 35 ‎ ‎ When someone is shouting at you angrily，throw the responsibility back at them by asking, "So what do you intend to do about it？" In most cases, complainers don't really want a solution. They just want to speak them out. If you make them aware that they themselves have to find the solutions, they will leave you alone and find someone else to complain to. If so，you will be happy.‎ ‎ A．Find solutions[来源:Z.xx.k.Com]‎ ‎ B．Change the responsibility ‎ C．You have got a lot of company.‎ ‎ D．By doing this, it will lead to positive behavior.‎ ‎ E．But you can redirect the discussion in your own mind.‎ ‎ F．Whenever possible, escape from negative conversations.　‎ ‎ G．You will never know what they are going to talk about. ‎ 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分〉‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ "Mum，you're always on the computer！" Laure complained.‎ ‎ "No，I'm not，" I 36 ．‎ ‎ "Every day I come home from school you're working on the computer."‎ ‎ "Well，at least I'm here 37 you！"‎ ‎ My daughter was right. Day after day，in my home office，I would stare into space as my 38 typed out the thoughts of a speaker or research completed for an article. It seemed that my work as a writer and speaker 39 my fingers to the keyboard and my mind to valuable ideas. What Laure did not 40 was that during her day away，I'd also be doing a lot of housework. It was only around three in the afternoon that I'd 41 seat myself at my desk for a few 42 moments of deep thought. Then she'd come from school.‎ ‎ I was 43 of myself on being available to my children. After all，I am a speaker on child behavior and parenting. But Laure's observation 44 my heart. In her eyes，I must have been a mom who was 45 but unapproachable. I wouldn't make such an image before her. My relationship with my children is more 46 than any other work.‎ ‎ "Laure，" I called，"come here a minute."‎ ‎ She wandered to my doorway. I had decided to have her 47 me when I was too devoted to work. I wanted her to have the 48 to let me know when she thought I was cold.‎ ‎ After I explained my 49 and the fact that I chose home office to be accessible to her and her sister，I offered Laure the following 50 ．‎ ‎ "Whenever you feel I'm ignoring you or you need my 51 ，I want you to 52 me，" I said."Just come up and give me a little hug. That'll be our signal that you 53 me."‎ ‎ Years later we still have that 54 sign. I've become much more sensitive to my daughters' comings and goings. 55 she always gives me a little hug to remind me of the real reason why I work at home.‎ ‎36．A. thought　　　 B．refused C．defended D．approved ‎37．A. for B．over C．against D．after ‎38．A. feet B．hands C．eyes D．ears ‎39．A. connected B．adjusted C．switched D．added ‎40．A. foresee B．realize C．believe D．suspect ‎41．A. luckily B．gradually C．instantly D．finally ‎42．A. anxious B．precious C．busy D．rare ‎43．A. proud B．ashamed C．afraid D．scared ‎44．A. filled B．broke C．touched D．mended ‎45．A. suitable B．available C．acceptable D．reasonable ‎46．A. important B．funny C．obvious D．wonderful ‎47．A. warn B．persuade C．encourage D．remind ‎48．A. patience B．time C．power D．honor ‎49．A. pressure B．dream C．schedule D．symptom ‎50．A. promise B．chance C．answer D．attempt ‎51．A. help B．attention C．contribution D．advice ‎52．A. hug B．shake C．kiss D．expose ‎53．A. miss B．possess C．need D．scold ‎54．A. unknown B．unexpected C．unfinished D．unspoken ‎55．A.

Suddenly a crow（乌鸦）perched（栖息）on their window.‎ The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.”‎ After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you, it’s a crow!”‎ After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, “What is this?”‎ At this time some expression of irritation（恼怒）was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father with a rebuff（生硬回绝）. “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this?”‎ This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?”‎ A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered（发皱的）diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:‎ ‎“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the ‎ same question.
