Molly's owner, Kate Harris, took her to an animal hospital．Doctors there were able to save Molly’s life, but soon one of her legs became very infected(感染). ‎ ‎ At first, doctors thought Molly would have to be put to sleep．But Molly changed their minds. This pony, doctors noticed, shifted her weight, and rested her good leg from time to time. Doctors knew t hat Molly had amazing intelligence, and that she wanted to live. ‎ ‎ Several doctors operated on Molly, and removed her infected leg. A false leg was made for her. The leg was a hollow cast with a pole at the bottom for balance. Doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of the leg. This horseshoe she had had a stamp of a smile face in it! ‎ ‎ After the operation, Molly walked around on all four legs, as if nothing had ever happened to her! Now, with every step she takes, she stamps a smile in the dirt．But she leaves her m ark in other ways, too.‎ ‎ Kaye Harris took Molly to the false leg center. There were children there who, like Molly, had artificial arms or legs. They were amazed to see a pony with a false leg. Molly made them smile and gave them hope.

He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again．I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me．I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up．Could he be more intent while standing up？‎ This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success．This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life．‎ Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits，and all you can do is loving and accepting them．As parents，throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids' best cheerleaders，guiding them and helping them find their way.‎ ‎ I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate．Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine．We need to learn to accept our kids' ways of doing things．Some ‎ way may have worked for me but doesn't mean we need to carry it through generations．There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique．It makes us free and happy and that's just the way I want my kids to live their own life．‎ ‎15.

As I went nearer to see what was happening I got my first introduction to yard sales. For the few dollars I had in my wallet, I was able to buy a seven-inch black-and-white portable TV. I also bought a flashlight.‎ The following weekend, at another yard sale, I saw a 14-inch color TV being sold for almost nothing. I felt I could not miss the offer and bought it. Now I had two sets and couldn’t wait to see what else I could afford the next weekend.‎ Spring ended, and by then I had accumulated almost every type of electronic equipment I had always wished to have back home.‎ Then this new idea came to mind. I had heard about a man who traveled back home every few months. He drove a truck filled with boxes of new and used stuff that people were sending to relatives. So I told my father that I would send as many types of items as I could so that he could start his resale business.‎ Every few months I would gather several boxes of American “junk” ––– televisions, toasters, fans, hair dryers, etc. and send them home. As word got out about my father’s “trash” market, people all came to buy these things.‎ Three years later, when I visited my family for the first time since leaving home, I learned that many of the families in our neighborhood had a piece of “trash”. It proved that I had the responsibility to keep people back home up to date with the latest technology you no longer need.‎ ‎25.

The “junk” is not welcomed in the author’s home country ‎【答案与解析】 ‎ 作者自接触到庭院销售后，一发而不可收拾。别人弃之不用的东西，却被作者当成宝贝送回了家乡。‎ ‎25．B推理判断题。作者在第二段提到当时首次接触庭院销售，仅用几美元就买了一台电视机和一个手电筒，由此可推测是人们在他们自家的院子里出售不想要的东西的地方。‎ ‎26．C细节理解题。结合第三段前两句的内容可知作者感觉到不能错过这次机会的原因是这台彩电非常便宜，几乎不用花钱。‎ ‎27．A作者态度题。第四段中提到作者搜集了几乎各种类型的电子设备并一直希望把它们带回家，下文中提到运回家的这些“垃圾”‎ 深受父老乡亲的喜欢，再结合最后一段最后一句的内容可知作者认为自己购买的这些东西是有用的。‎ ‎28．A推理判断题。作者购买的是庭院销售的廉价物品，运回自己的家乡后深受欢迎，文章最后提到自己有责任让家乡的人跟上最新技术的步伐，由此可推测作者来自一个贫穷的地方。‎ Passage 7‎ I learnt about the Pygmalion effect (皮格玛丽翁效应) when I was 7 years old at Riverdale School in Palmerston North and I copied Melissa Crawford’s answers in a spelling test. Before that I was average at school but after that, because Melissa Crawford was smart, and I got all the right answers, I got put in all the smart kids groups.‎ From then I did really well at school because it was believed by the teachers that I would and I also got grouped with the smart kids. This experience that occurred at my primary school shows just how important the Pygmalion effect is in terms of being around mentors (导师) that expect that you' re going to do well and also being around people who are smart.‎ The Pygmalion effect is one principle you want to use if you want to make money fast. Have mentors that expect you will make money fast and as an extra boost hang around, copy and learn from other people who are also making money fast.‎ Yesterday this site had over 5000 unique visitors and the traffic to it is increasing all the time. A year ago I contacted a group of people who got lots of traffic m their sites and I learnt from them. Truthfully I don’t know if they expected me to start getting decent traffic to websites but 1 imagined they did so they might as well have.‎ So there you have it the Pygmalion effect.‎ P. S. My grammar and spelling are not that great nowadays but that's actually completely irrelevant (不相关的) when it comes to getting lots of visitors to your site.‎ ‎29. When did the author learn about the Pygmalion effect?‎ A . Before he took the spelling test. B. After he cheated in the spelling test.‎ C. When he did badly in exams. D. After he finished primary school.‎ ‎30. The author got grouped with the smart kids because ______.‎ A. he was an average pupil at school B. he did better than expected ‎ C. Melissa Crawford was smart D. he did better than all the others at school ‎31. What does the underlined word “contacted” mean in the passage?‎ A. lost touch with B. made friends with C. got in touch with D. was concerned about ‎32. From the passage we can infer that ______.‎ A. the author was busy-meeting visitors every day ‎ B. there was lots of traffic in his city C. the author opened a website himself ‎ D. the author's grammar was poor at school ‎【答案与解析】‎ 文章通过自己的经历告诉我们皮革马利翁的神奇力量。‎ ‎29.B细节理解题。根据I copied Melissa Crawford’s answers in a spelling test判断，是在他考试作弊以后。‎ ‎30.B细节理解题。作者原先学习平平，由于考试作弊，成绩出色，所以老师把他列为聪明的学生之中。‎ ‎31.C词义猜测题。根据learn from them判断，该词的意思是“取得联系”。‎ ‎32.C推理判断题。从when it comes to getting lots of visitors to your site看，作者有自己的网站。‎ Passage 8‎ Before she appeared on the reality show(真人秀) Britain’s Got Talent, Susan Boyle was just an ordinary middle-aged British woman.

However, the apathy of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public, as Internet forums have seethed with anger, and people are questioning the morality of society.‎ High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public.‎ But in recent years, the perception（观念）of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are perceived to be affecting society’s values.‎ On Sept. 2. an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed, his face striking the pavement. Yet, no one came to his aid, and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose.‎ Some have linked the absence of good Samaritans (模范人物)to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her.‎ A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt（免除）Samaritans from liability（责任）, yet laws themselves cannot solve society’s morality dilemma.‎ Cao Lin‎, a China Youth Daily commentator, said in a signed article published on Monday that the worry of liability should not be an excuse for not helping, and this case exposes the decline of humanity in Chinese society.‎ ‎42.

Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the world’s greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon. “It is very clear,” he told me. “They were all Jews and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.” As a result, every Jewish parent’s dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.‎ Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture (培育) talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most competitive society, with stronger discipline than ours,” says Isaac Stern, children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. The Koreans and Chinese as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.‎ That’s a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work,‎ ‎ biological inheritance plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.‎ ‎47. Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because ________.‎ A. it would allow them access to a better life in the West B. Jewish children are born with excellent musical talent C. they wanted their children to enter into the professional field D. it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own countryA）‎ ‎48. Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that ________.‎ A. are highly motivated in the education of music ‎ B. treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full development C. encourage people to compete with each other D. promise talented children high positions（B）‎ ‎49. Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies according to the passage?‎ A. a natural gift. B. extensive knowledge of music.‎ C. very early training. D. a prejudice-free society.（A）‎ ‎50. Which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Jewish Contribution to Music B. Training of Musicians in the World C. Music and Society D. The Making of Music Prodigies ‎【答案】ABAD
