It helps you understand common expressions when you are studying English. Now, let ’s say you are a regular listener to the show and you want to learn t he meaning of the saying to be cut from the same cloth . So you write to us requesting more information. Then I write a show about that expression. You could say that program is tailor-made just for you. We will explain it like this: A tailor makes men ’s clothing. When a tailor goes to work, he or she first takes measurements. The tailor then makes clothing for just that individual, not a group of people. We call that kind of clothing tailor-made. But now, let ’ s get back to our earlier expression — to be cut from the same cloth . When making a business suit, a tailor cuts the coat from the same piece of cloth. This way, the color and quality of the material match. Let ’s say Felix and Catherine design video games. The two young designers both want to design good games that help children. They also have the same sense of humor. So, you could say they are cut from the same cloth. They are also good friends. So if Catherine were in need, Felix would give her the shirt off his back . Now, we praise people who roll up their sleeves and who give you the shirt off their backs. We tip our hats to these people. OK, another phrase. Catherine has been out of work for a month, and she is on pins and needles for months, hoping for a job offer. Tailors often use pins and needles when making clothes. Most pins and needles are made of metal —and they are sharp! They would hurt you if you sat on them. So if you are on pins and needles, you are anxiously waiting for something to happen. 21. How can we describe twins according to the passage? A. They are tailor-made. B. They are on pins and needles. 专业的教育资料 - 2 - C. They are cut from the same cloth. D. They tip their hats to each other. 22. In which situation may we give a friend the shirt off our backs? A. He has done a good deed. B. He is lacking in food. C. He is curious about something. D. He is waiting for his exam scores. 23. From where can you find the passage? A. An academic magazine. B. A radio program. C. An entertainment report. D. A TV show. B I found a police report that had been filed in Florida 17 years before. It said a boy was hit and his body was thrown 19 yards. But he wasn’t thrown; he was dragged that far and caught in the chains of the truck. It said someone fled the scene, but that someone was my older brother, Alex, and he didn ’t flee. He rushed over to his friend, but the boy was already dead. It said , But , Alex had just turned 15. This was the day we never spoke about. We thought it would make a difference in helping him step out of the shadow of that accident. So I didn ’t bring it up until one night, when we were 30 and 31, I asked if he ever thought about the day Jonathan died. But he responded with an unpleasant laugh and a cold silence. Before the accident, we were inseparable. After the accident, we didn ’t have words for any conversation. I was desperate to reconnect and convinced that the only way to do so was to get as close as I could to that day. I tracked down the police report. I wrote down the driver ’s name and found his phone number. I told him I wanted to know about an accident he was involved in back in 1999. He told me it was the hardest time in his life. I told him I wanted to find a way to take away my brother ’s pain. “You can’t. ” he said “But if you want to lessen it, let him talk to you, and once those words start coming, you’ ll realize that asking is the easy part. 专业的教育资料 - 3 - Listening is the hard part. ” I hung up the phone but didn ’t stop there. I tracked down the witnesses. A year after the first phone call, I met with my brother and told him about the people I had spoken to and what they had said, and his instinct( 本能 ) was to confirm and correct each detail. That was my opening, and his too. Later I was able to ask what no one in my family ever had: “Could you just start at the beginning and tell me everything? ” And he did. 24. How did the police report in Paragraph 1 appear to be in the author ’ s opinion? A. Fact-free. B. Ambiguous. C. Persuasive. D. Cautiously-worded. 25. Why did the author avoid referring to the accident? A. To avoid arguing with his brother. B. To protect his brother from others ’ scolding. C. To help relieve his brother ’s pain. D. To show trust in his brother ’s innocence. 26. What may the author ’s brother need most after the accident? A. Other s’ real understanding. B. Others ’ immediate company. C. Others ’ sincere listening. D. Others ’ detailed asking. 27. Which is the best title for the passage? A. The Accident No One Talked About B. The Experience Shaping My Brother C. The Question No One Cared About D. The Moment Changing My Brother ’s Life C Research finds that children who play violent games or watch violent TV can become violent themselves, but what drives this change? Are the kids simply copy what they see on the screen, or could gaming have a more profound effect on their brains, affecting behavior? To explore that question, Dr. Vincent Matthews and his colleagues at Indiana University, who have long studied media violence, looked at what happened in the brains 专业的教育资料 - 4 - in 28 students who were randomly assigned to play either a violent, first-person shooter game or a non-violent one every day for a week. None of the participants had much previous gaming experience. At the start of the study, researchers used functional MRI to scan brain activity in the participants, all young adult men, while they completed lab-based tasks involving either emotional or non-emotional content. The participants were then scanned again while they repeated the same tasks after a week of playing the video games. Researchers found that those who played the violent video games showed less activity in areas that involved emotions, attention and inhibition( 抑制 ) of our impulses( 冲动 ). “Behavioral studies have shown an increase in aggressive behavior after violent video games, and what we show is the psychological explanation for what the behavioral studies are showing, ” say Matthews. “We’re showing that there are changes in brain function that are likely related to that behavior. ” It ’s not clear how long-lasting the changes may be. When Matthews brought the participants back after a week of not playing video games, their brain activity had changed again, recovering to more normal reactions, but their brain functions still weren’t quite the same as before they were exposed to the violent games. 28. What do we know about the participants? A. Both teenagers and adults were chosen. B. The participants had never played any computer games before. C. 28 participants were all young adult men. D. The participants were carefully divided into two groups. 29. After playing a violent video game, a person is more likely to be ______. A. concentrative B. impulsive C. calm D. tired 30. What does the underlined part “more profound ” in Paragraph I most probably mean? A. Greater. B. Shorter. C. More negative D. More positive. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? 专业的教育资料 - 5 - A. What Causes Children to Be Violent B. How Matthews Carried Out His Study C. Say “No” to Computer Games D. How Playing Violent Video Games May Change the Brain D More and more comments sections are being shut down online. Autumn Phillips had had enough. On Aug. 19, the executive editor of the Quad-City Times in Iowa, and Illinois, US visited her website, qctimes. Com , and saw a story about a man who had been shot to death. When she got to the readers ’ comments section at the end, she was shocked by what she saw. Below the story was a growing string of comments — a racist remark about democratic( 民主的 ) voters, a negative comment about police , So Phillips decided to do something she had been thinking about for a long time: she shut down the comments section. Phillips was not alone in making such a move. Last week, NPR announced it too was closing its online comments section. The decisions don ’t mean that the news outlets are no longer interested in what their audiences are thinking. Both stressed their eagerness to hear from readers and listeners on social networks. But both agreed that comments had deviated from their original intention. And so they had. In the early days of digital journalism, comments were seen as a key part of this new media, a wonderful opportunity for strengthening the dialogue between news producers and their audiences. It was a welcome change, given that for long many news organizations were far too separated from their readers. Much more back and forth conversation seemed like healthy and welcome evolution. Sadly, that ’s not the way things turned out. Rather than a place for exchanging ideas, comments sections became the home of ugly name-calling, racism and anti-women language. Besides their poisonous quality, comments seem out of place today. “Since we made the announcement, I ’ ve received an outpouring of responses from our readers, ” she says. “I ’ ve heard from parents whose children were hurt by our online comments. I ’ve heard from people who said they would n’ t send in letters to 专业的教育资料 - 6 - the editor because they were attacked so fiercely by comments, and it wasn ’t worth it. ” 32. Why did Autumn Phillips shut down the comments section? A. It was put to wrong use. B. Her website was attacked heavily. C. It exposed many illegal issues. D. She was angry about readers ’ comments. 33. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 indicate about comments? A. They were out of date. B. They had gone against their original intentions. C. They were full of sensitive information D. They couldn ’t interest the audience. 34. What was the welcome change in the early digital journalism? A. Readers ’ having more access to news. B. Readers ’ making less negative comments. C. Readers ’ freedom to express their thoughts. D. Readers ’ active involvement in the new industry. 35. How do many readers feel about Autumn Phillips ’ move? A. Cautious. B. Hopeful. C. Surprised. D. Grateful. 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 3 分,共 15 分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的七个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。 How to Be Good at Sports If sports are something that interests you, it stands to reason that you would want to be good at them.

When you meet people from different cultures, it is important 63 (understand) what you can and cannot do. If we are not aware 64 these differences, some unusual 65 (thing) might happen. For instance, in China, it 66 (be) rude to put the chopsticks into a bowl of rice straightly as it is often done for the dead. If you visit Nepal, you will find Nepalese often greet each other with the hands pressed together instead of shaking hands, 67 in North America and the UK, people greet one another by 68 (shake) hands.
