One summer I was driving from my hometown of Tahoe City, California to New Orleans, Louisiana. In the middle of the desert, I passed a young man standing by the roadside. He had his 36 out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time 37 you’d be called a jerk (混蛋) for passing by somebody 38 . Several days later I was still 39 about the hitchhiker (搭便车的人), about how I didn’t even lift my foot 40 the accelerator (加速踏板 ) for him. “Does anyone stop any more?” I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois’s famous line—“I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.” Was that 41 these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey 42 the US without any money, just 43 on the good will of others. What would happen? Would he find food, shelter and support? The idea intrigued (激起兴趣) me. The week I 44 37, I realized that I had never done something truly crazy. 45 I decided to really do it: travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. I would only accept 46 of rides, food and places to sleep. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states. I was treated kindly 47 I went. I was 48 by people’s readiness to help a stranger. In Oregon, a house painter named Mike 49 the cold weather and asked if I had a coat. I didn’t, so he gave me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker in Michigan named Tim invited me to a 50 dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me a tent. I refused, but Tim insisted, packing it into my bag himself. I found people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or 51 with them whatever they happened to have. Those who had the 52 to give often gave the most. I’m grateful to all the people I met for their 53 , their food, their shelter and their gifts. My faith in ordinary folks was 54 . I was proud to live in a country where people were still willing to help. In spite of everything, you can still depend on the 55 of strangers. 36. A. finger B. thumb C. foot D. hand 37. A. that B. where C. when D. which 38. A. in need B. in danger C. in trouble D. in favor 39. A. worrying B. considering C. thinking D. bringing 40. A. rise B. set C. ride D. lift 41.

B It’s amazing how we grow from careless kids to responsible teens. What happens in the course that makes us responsible now? It’s the seed that we sow in the beginning which grows and becomes a huge tree. As I sit here, silently thinking about my growth, I wonder over some questions which don’t have an answer but it’s because of such unanswerable situations that life has become a roller coaster ride. As a kid, I used to read a lot of story books. In one particular book, I read a story of a bird. From then on, that has become an integral (必不可少的) part of my life. It described a male bird which takes a lot of pain to build a nest and the female bird takes shelter in it and nourishes the baby. When the bird learns to fly, the whole family flies off to a different place leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to grow their family in it. It made me wonder. How could they so easily sacrifice their house built with so much effort? One night, when I was deep in sleep, I got this particular dream. I was walking miles on the endless road, totally isolated but lined with beautiful trees on the either side. Fascinated by the greenery, I marched towards it only to end up deeper and deeper into the greenery. I happened to stop upon seeing something. It was a massive, wonderful house. I fell in love with that amazing part of art. Yeah, it was indeed a piece of art with every nook and corner touched artistically and lovingly. I don’t know why I felt that it was done lovingly. Maybe because, things turn out to be beautiful only when we put our love into it — just like the food prepared by mom which tastes more delicious with her love. I explored the house only to fall more in love with it. There was a sloping roof which matched with the greenery around; the large central open courtyard reminded me of the activities that might have taken place there which felt lively even now when it is completely deserted. The small water body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of the house — of course, it was all dried up now. It’s really wonderful how such things add life to the spaces which otherwise just become structures. Such liveliness and happening turns the house into a home. They say ‘THE HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS’ but now I began to feel it. This is where my heart belongs. This is what I’ destined to do. When I woke up from the dream, I was clear about everything. I realized where that mile of walk was intending me to lead. I realized what message my dream wanted to convey me. And years later, when finally my turn of choosing my destination came, I simply closed my eyes, held that book in my hand, pressed it against my chest and relived the dream. When I opened my eyes, I was sure what to do. I decided to choose the road — less traveled. Yes, I took up architecture as my profession because this is what I am destined to do. I wanted to do the same thing that the male bird in the story did, to take pain in building a beautiful house and let others stay in it. This is my dream come true and the happiness that I gain now from this profession is indescribable. 58. To the writer, “he seed that we sow in the beginning” (Paragraph 1) is _______. A. his story books B. his mother’ food C. the story of the bird D. the house in his dream 59. Mom’s food always tastes better because . A. mom cooks with her love B. mom is experienced in cooking C. moms are better cooks than fathers D. we are so familiar with mom’s food 60. In the writer’s dream, what part of the house attracted him most? A. The greenery surrounding the house. B. The fact that the house was very large. C. The liveliness he sensed around the house. D. The body of water that keeps the house cool 61. The above passage is mainly about _______. A. where the true meaning of responsibility lies B. how the writer finally becomes an honest citizen C. what we need to do when we are seeking fortune D. why the writer takes up architecture as his career C If you could change your child’s DNA in the future to protect them against diseases, would you? It could be possible because of technology known as CRISPR-Cas, or just CRISPR. CRISPR involves a piece of RNA, a chemical messenger, designed to work on one part of DNA; it also uses an enzyme (酶) that can take unwanted genes out and put new ones in, according to The Economist. There are other ways of editing DNA, but CRISPR will do it very simply, quickly, and exactly. The uses of CRISPR could mean that cures are developed for everything from Alzheimer’s to cancer to HIV. By allowing doctors to put just the right cancer-killing genes into a patient’s immune system, the technology could help greatly. In April scientists in China said they had tried using CRISPR to edit the genomes (基因组) of human embryos. Though the embryos would never turn into humans, this was the first time anyone had ever tried to edit DNA from human beings. With this in mind, the US’ National Academy of Sciences plans to discuss questions about CRISPR’s ethics (伦理问题). For example, CRISPR doesn’t work properly yet. As well as cutting the DNA it is looking for, it often cuts other DNA, too. In addition, we currently seem to have too little understanding of what DNA gives people what qualities. There are also moral questions around “playing God”. Of course, medicine already stops natural things from happening — — for example, it saves people from infections. The opportunities to treat diseases make it hard to say we shouldn’t keep going. A harder question is whether it is ever right to edit human germ-line (种系) cells and make changes that are passed on to children. This is banned in 40 countries and restricted in many others. However, CRISPR means that if genes can be edited out, they can also be edited back in. It may be up to us as a society to decide when and where editing the genome is wrong. Also, according to The Economist, gene editing may mean that parents make choices that are not obviously in the best interests of their children: “Deaf parents may prefer their children to be deaf too; parents might want to make their children more intelligent at all costs.” In the end, more research is still needed to see what we can and can’t do with CRISPR. “It’ s still a huge mystery how we work,” Craig Mello, a UMass Medical School biologist and Nobel Prize winner, told The Boston Globe.“We’re just trying to figure out this amazingly complicated thing we call life.” 62. What is the article mainly about? A. What we can and can’t do with CRISPR. B. How CRISPR was developed by scientists. C. The advantages of CRISPR and arguments about its ethics. D. Chinese scientists’ experiment of using CRISPR to edit human embryos. 63. According to the article, the technology of CRISPR ________. A. is banned in 42 countries and restricted in many others B. is very safe because it only cuts the DNA it is looking for C. could cause parents to make unwise choices for their children D. could help us discover the link between DNA and the qualities it gives people 63. It can be concluded from the article that CRISPR ________. A. allows scientists to edit genomes for the first time B. could be helpful in the treatment of cancer and HIV C. is a technology that uses an enzyme to work on RNA and DNA D. has proven to be the most effective way to protect children against diseases 64. What is the author’s attitude toward CRISPR? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Worried. D I have only once been in trouble with the law. The whole process of being arrested and taken to court was a rather unpleasant experience at the time, but it makes a good story now. What makes it rather disturbing was the arbitrary circumstances both of my arrest and my subsequent fate in court. It happened in February about twelve years ago. I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October. I was still living at home at the time. One morning I was in Richmond, a suburb of London near where I lived. I was looking for a temporary job so that I could save up some money to go traveling. As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry, I was taking my time, looking in shop windows, strolling in the park, and sometimes just stopping and looking around me. It must have been this obvious aimlessness that led to my downfall. It was about half past eleven when it happened. I was just walking out of the local library, having unsuccessfully sought employment there, when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talking to me. I thought he was going to ask me the time. Instead, he said he was a police officer and he was arresting me. At first I thought it was some kind of joke. But then another policeman appeared, this time in uniform, and I was left in no doubt. “But what for?” I asked. “Wandering with intent to commit an arrestable offence.” he said. “What offence?” I asked. “Theft.” he said. “Theft of what?” I asked. “Milk bottles,” he said, and with a perfectly straight face too! “Oh,” I said. It turned out there had been a lot of petty thefts in the area, particularly that of stealing milk bottles from doorsteps. Then I made my big mistake. At the time I was nineteen, had long untidy hair, and regarded myself as part of the sixties’ “youth counterculture”. As a result, I wanted to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident, so I said, “How long have you been following me?” in the most casual and conversational tone I could manage. I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of situation, and it confirmed them in their belief that I was a thoroughly disreputable （品行不端的）character. A few minutes later a police car arrived. “Get in the back,” they said. “Put your hands on the back of the front seat and don’t move them.” They got in on either side of me. It wasn’t funny any more. At the police station they questioned me for several hours. I continued to try to look worldly and familiar with the situation. When they asked me what I had been doing, I told them I’d been looking for a job. “Aha,” I could see them thinking, “unemployed”. Eventually, I was officially charged and told to report to Richmond Magistrates’ Court the following Monday. Then they let me go. I wanted to conduct my own defense in court, but as soon as my father found out what had happened, he hired a very good lawyer. We went along that Monday armed with all kinds of witnesses, including my English teacher from school as a character witness. But he was never called on to give evidence. My “trial” didn’t get that far. The magistrate （法官） dismissed the case after fifteen minutes. I was free. The poor police had never stood a chance. The lawyer even succeeded in getting costs awarded against the police. And so I do not have a criminal record. But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on. I had the“right” accent, respectable middle-class parents in court, reliable witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good lawyer. Given the obscure nature of the charge, I feel sure that if I had come from a different background, and had really been unemployed, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty. While asking for costs to be awarded, my lawyer’s case quite obviously revolved（回转） around the fact that I had a “brilliant academic record”. Meanwhile, just outside the courtroom, one of the policemen who had arrested me was gloomily complaining to my mother that another youngster had been turned against the police. “You could have been a bit more helpful when we arrested you,” he said to me reproachfully （责备地）. What did he mean? Probably that I should have looked outraged and said something like, “Look here, do you know who you’re talking to? I am a highly successful student with a brilliant academic record. How dare you arrest me!”Then they, probably, would have apologized perhaps even taken off their caps, and let me on my way. 66. The first man who came up to him was ______. A. not a policeman B. a good joker C. a uniformed policeman D.a policeman in plain clothes 67. The court never asked the author’s English teacher to give evidence because _______. A. he was found to be unqualified as a character witness B. the author wanted to conduct his own defense in court C. the case was dismissed before the trial reached that stage D. the time for the trial was limited to fifteen minutes only 68. The author believes that he would most probably have been declared guilty if _______. A. the magistrate had been less gentle B. he had really been out of work C. he had been born in a lower— class family D. both B and C 69. In the opinion of one of the policeman who had arrested the author, the whole thing might not have occurred if ______. A. he hadn’t wandered aimlessly B. he had tried to look cool C. he had protested strongly at the time D. he had begged to be allowed to go home 70. We can see from the passage that the author ______. A. has never broken the law B. has broken the law only once C. has broken the law on more than one occasion D. once broke the law without knowing it Ⅴ.任务型阅读（共 10 小题，每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） The key to the relationship between creativity and dishonesty A new study by Lynne Vincent and Maryam Kouchaki demonstrates that believing that you are a creative person can create feelings of entitlement when you think that creativity is rare and valuable. That feeling of entitlement can be costly for you and your organization as it can cause you to be dishonest. Many organizations now are recognizing the importance of creativity and are attempting to encourage their employees to be creative. However, there is a cost to that creativity when creativity is seen as a rare and unique attribute (属性 ). The findings in this study are based on several laboratory experiments, in addition to a study of employees and supervisor pairs. While creativity is in most cases valued, such as other positive attributes, including practicality or intelligence, it may be over-valued compared to those other positive attributes because creativity is by definition (本质上 ) rare. That sense of rarity then creates a sense of entitlement. People see their creative efforts as special and valuable and feel that they are worthy of extra rewards for their creative efforts. That entitlement can cause them to steal in order to get the rewards. However, it is naive (天真的) to assume that employees in companies that have developed a strong identity as creative, such as Apple, Google, and IDEO, would be necessarily more dishonest due to their creativity. “The key to the relationship between creativity and dishonesty is the sense of rarity,” said Vincent. “When individuals identified themselves as creative and believed that creativity was rare, entitlement appeared. However, if individuals believed that creativity was common, that sense of entitlement was reduced.” When people in the laboratory experiments believed that their creativity was rare compared to common, they were more likely to lie for money. However, when people believed that being practical was rare compared to common, the increased sense of psychological entitlement and dishonesty did not occur. The effect was seen in organizations too. Although creativity is important in the business world, the dark side of creativity has only partly studied. However, as creativity is becoming more important for organizations, it is important for organizations to understand how to encourage creativity. Encouraging creativity in organizations is not as simple as telling employees to be creative. Defining what it means to be creative and what creativity means in that context is important. When people define creativity in terms of being rare and valuable, seeing yourself as a creative person can cause entitlement and dishonesty. However, if organizations define creativity as a common and everyday behavior or an attribute that many people can have, organizations may be able to encourage employee creativity without encouraging employee dishonesty.

I definitely disapprove of what her children’s behavior. Several factors may contribute to the thought-provoking phenomenon shown in the cartoon. First, in a bid to pursue a higher living standard in the modern society, younger generations seem to lose the basic social value to support their aged parents. Besides, the whole society doesn’t attach great importance to the need of the seniors, leaving them lonely and helpless. Personally, supporting elderly people should be a top priority. It is high time that we should be fully aware of the necessary to care for the elderly both physically and mentally. For one thing, the government and departments concerned are supposed to construct and perfect health care and pension insurance system for the old. For another, as individuals, we should do all we can to offer love and care to those aged. Only with joint efforts can we bring older generation real well-being.
