She was very well-dressed, carrying a Prada bag with tastefully applied make-up indeed, she had an unmistakable air of wealth, material success and even authority. I suspected she worked as a highly-paid Wall Street lawyer or stockbroker or something of that sort. So, I was curious to see what she was so focused on. The Wall Street Journal perhaps? The Economist?‎ Quite the contrary; rather, she was concentrating on a romance novel. Then I realized that I have known many women who love romance novels—smart, attractive, successful, “liberated,” modern females who nonetheless find some kind of deep satisfaction and thrill from those hyper-romantic, artificial and extremely unrealistic tales of handsome, manly heroes falling in love with virginal women, enduring a series of adventures, then no doubt having a happy ending.‎ These romance stories are to literature what hot dogs are to fine food. Yet, the genre(体裁) remains enormously popular. Consider some of these surprising statistics from the good folks at the Romance Writers of America (RWA):‎ ‎*More than 9,000 romance titles were released last year, with sales of about $1.44 billion (more than triple the taxes produced by classic literary fiction).‎ ‎*More than 90 percent of the market are women (okay, that’s not at all surprising).‎ ‎*Readers are typically women between the ages 30 and 54 who are themselves involved in a romantic relationship (betraying the stereotype that only lonely women long for these tales of love and adventure).‎ ‎*Almost 40 percent of romance book consumers have an annual income of between $50,000 and $99,900 (placing them firmly in the middle class).‎ I had thought that romance novels accounted for a very small share of the literary market, so I was quite surprised that this part has such enormous popularity. But I must wonder why so many women—forty years after the women’s liberation movement—continue to enjoy themselves in the ‎ fanciful tales?‎ I’m not sure if it represents a kind of “rejection” of the women’s liberation movement, but clearly something is missing in the lives of contemporary ladies. A romance author named Donna Hatch who focuses on the Regency period (early 19th century Britain) explained the appeal of such books this way: “Regency men were civilized and treated women with courtesy. When a lady entered the room, gentlemen stood, doffed their hats, offered an arm, bowed, and a hundred other little things I wish men still did today. But they were also very athletic; they hunted, raced, boxed, rode horses. They were manly. Strong. Noble. Honorable. And that is why I love them!”‎ Mrs. Hatch may have expressed the secret desires and attitudes of untold millions of her peers—that is, in the early 21st century, have women grown tired of the burdens and expectations that the “freedoms” they have gained give them? Is this a rejection of modern feminism? Do women long for days of old when men were masculine gentlemen and women were feminine and protected as precious treasures and regarded as possessions?‎ Perhaps most women (even the ones who get lost in romance novels) do not want to go all the way back but it is obvious,______.‎ ‎21. What is the function of the opening paragraph?‎ A. To summarize the whole passage. B. To prove the author’s argument.‎ C. To lead in the main topic of the passage. D. To raise problems that will be solved later.‎ ‎22. What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph imply?‎ A. Romance novels are satisfying and thrilling.‎ B. Romance novels are not of much “nutrition”.‎ C. Romance novels are as popular as hot dogs.‎ D. Romance novels are an essential part of contemporary life.‎ ‎23. In the author’s opinion, what is missing in the lives of contemporary women?‎ A. Authority. B. Dignity. C. Liberty. D. Care.‎ ‎24. Which sentence can be put in the blank in the last paragraph?‎ A. they prefer tales of innocent romance to classics B. they are unhappy with how the world has turned out C. true love described in romance novels does exist in reality D. romance novels provide them with an access to society B If there is any such thing as a sea monster, chances are that it looks much like a frilled shark (皱鳃鲨)! This fearsome but interesting creature is one of the most rarely sighted species on earth. Let’s take a closer look at the habitat, appearance and feeding behavior of the frilled shark.‎ While very little is known about the frilled shark, it is thought to live in the deepest, darkest parts of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and only come to the surface when sick or injured. It is believed that they are able to survive at a depth of about 5,150 feet but are more commonly found in waters 50-200 feet deep. There is a small but convincing body of research that suggests the frilled shark is a vertical migrator, moving from deep to deeper waters on a regular basis.‎ While this mysterious beast is called a shark, many believe it looks more like an eel(鳗鱼) with a long, slim body about five to six feet in length. It has a head that’s triangular in shape similar to that of a poisonous snake and large oval eyes giving off a strange and frightening green light. The unusual creature has six pairs of gills (鳃), each with the frilled edges for which the sea monster was named.‎ The feeding behavior of the frilled shark has never been studied or even observed by human eyes. However, it is almost certainly a predator (食肉动物). After all, researchers believe, why else would it need 300 sharp teeth?! Scientists theorize that these dangerous teeth make it possible for a slow moving fish like the frilled shark to catch squid and other deep-sea creatures.‎ As research into the habitat, appearance and feeding behavior of this strange creature continues, there’s a good chance that we will gain a full understanding of this unusual species one day. Until then, the frilled shark remains one of the great mysteries of the deep.‎ ‎25. What can we infer about the frilled shark from Paragraph 2?‎ A. It is hard to see them in a healthy state on the ocean surface.‎ B. They migrate from ocean to ocean in the deepest waters.‎ C. They usually live in oceans at a depth of over 5,150 feet.‎ D. It is a rare species threatened by human activities.‎ ‎26. Where can you find the information about the shark’s appearance?‎ A. In Paragraph 2. B. In Paragraph 3.‎ C. In Paragraph 4. D. In Paragraph 5.‎ ‎27. The frilled shark got its name because of______.‎ A. the place where it was found B. the place where it was born C. its appearance D. its character ‎28. How do scientists know the frilled shark is a predator?‎ A. From its behavior. B. From its habitat.‎ C. From its teeth. D. From its gills.‎ ‎29. What is the author’s attitude to solving the mystery of the frilled shark?‎ A. Doubtful. B. Cautious.‎ C. Disapproving. D. Optimistic.‎ C To learn to think is to learn to question. Those who don't question never truly think for themselves. These are simple rules that have governed the advancement of science and human thought since the beginning of time. Advancements are made when thinkers question theories and introduce new ones. Unfortunately, it is often the great and respected thinkers who end up slowing the progress of human thought. Aristotle was a brilliant philosopher whose theories explained much of the natural world, often incorrectly. He was so esteemed by the scientific community that even 1，200 years after his death, scientists were still trying to build upon his mistakes rather than correct them!‎ Brilliant minds can intimidate upandcoming thinkers who are not confident of their abilities. They often believe they are inferior to the minds of giants such as Aristotle, leading many to accept current paradigms instead of questioning them.‎ I, like many thinkers of the past, once believed in my mental inferiority. I was certain that my parents, my teachers—adults in general—were always right. They were like a textbook to me; I didn't question what was written on those pages. I respected them, and accepted whatever they told me. But that attitude soon changed. My mind's independence was first stimulated in the classroom.‎ A stern, 65yearold elementaryschool science teacher once told me that light is a type of wave. I confidently went through years of school believing that light is a wave. One day，however I heard the German exchange student mention that light could be made up of particles. As the others laughed at his statement, I started to question my beliefs.‎ Maybe the teachers and textbooks hadn't given me the whole story. I went to the library, did ‎ some research and learned of the lightasawave versus lightasaparticle debate. I read about Einstein's discovery of the dual nature of light and learned the facts of a paradox(悖论) that puzzles the world's greatest thinkers to this day. Light behaves as both a particle and a wave, it is both at once. I realized I had gone through life accepting only half of the story as the whole truth.‎ Each new year brought more new facts, and I formulated even more questions. I found myself in the library after school, trying to find my own answers to gain a more complete understanding of what I thought I already knew. I discovered that my parents and teachers are incredible tools in my quest for knowledge, but they are never the final word. Even textbooks can be challenged. I learned to question my sources. I learned to be a thinker. I once believed that everything I learned at home and at school was certain, but I have now discovered to reexamine when necessary.‎ Questions are said to be the path to knowledge and truth, and I plan to continue questioning. How many things do we know for sure today that we will question in the future? At this moment, I know that our sun will burn for another five billion years, and I know nothing can escape the gravity of a black hole. This knowledge, however, may change in the next 20 years—maybe even in the next two. The one thing we can control now is our openness to discovery. Questions are the tools of open minds, and open minds are the key to intellectual advancement.‎ ‎30. In the first paragraph, Aristotle is taken as an example to show that ________.‎ A. he is the greatest and respected philosopher of all time B. huge influence of great thinkers may block human thought C. advancements are made when thinkers question theories D. great thinkers often make mistakes and then correct them ‎31. What does the underlined word “intimidate” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. Frighten. B. Encourage. C. Strengthen. D. Persuade.‎ ‎32. The author began to question his previous beliefs because ________.‎ A. what he learned from textbooks before turned out to be wrong B. he was inspired by the different ideas from an exchange student C. he was laughed at by other students for his unacceptable statement D. he was not satisfied with his life and desperate to achieve success ‎33. According to the passage, the author ________.‎ A. looks down upon great thinkers all the time B. never doubts what he has learned in the textbook C. always throws himself into the laboratory D. determines to be a thinker and questioner ‎34. We can conclude from the last paragraph that ________.‎ A. the author is not quite sure about his future B. we human beings don't dare to predict future C. questioning is necessary to promote advancement D. the theory of black holes will change in two years ‎35. What does the passage mainly talk about?‎ A. Following rules. B. Challenging yourself.‎ C. Questioning giants. D. Predicting future.‎ 第二节 七选五阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分 10分）‎ In school，do you rush from one subject to another? When things happen at such a fast pace，it is easy to get lost of what you are doing or learning. It is important to stop yourself every now and then to think about what you’ve been doing or learning.‎ ‎ 36. By being calm and going slowly, you give your brain a chance to evaluate the input it has already received. Some people prefer to do these self-reflections only in their mind. Others keep a journal or written notes. 37.‎ Use natural breaks as opportunities to stop and reflect. 38 . This makes it easier for someone to begin self-reflection. Sometimes you know the unit is over because there is some kind of test.‎ Find a quiet place. You can even be sitting at your desk at school when you finish something early and the other students are still working. 39. Let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some connections. Sometimes just pausing to think deeply allows your brain to make connections. Having a lot of connections allows your brain to quickly get back information when you need it again.‎ ‎ 40. For example, maybe you learned about a certain body system, but you’re not sure ‎ how it works together with the other body systems. Maybe you learned a new way to work out a math problem，but you’re not sure when to use it. Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic.‎ Self-reflection is important to a successful student. If you have never taken the time to do self-reflection, try it now.‎ A. Slow down and calm your mind.‎ B. Think about things that you are not sure of.‎ C. School textbooks are divided into chapters and units of study.‎ D. If you are going to review, take out paper or your reflection diary.‎ E. Write down some notes on the new things that you learned in the unit.‎ F. Either method works, depending on your own personal learning.‎ G. Self-reflection means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind.‎ 第三部分 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。‎ One day in early December, we woke up to discover a heavy fall of snow. “Mom, can we go 41 after breakfast?” my eleven-year-old daughter Erica begged. I didn’t want to 42 her request, so we headed towards the only 43 in our town. ‎ When we arrived, the hill was crowded with people. We found an open spot next to a thin man and his three-year-old son. The boy was already lying in the sled, 44 to be launched. “Come on, Daddy!” he called. ‎ The man looked over at me. “Okay if we go 45 ?” he asked.‎ ‎“Sure. Looks like your son is ready to go,” I said. With that, he gave the boy a huge 46 , and off he flew! And the father ran after his son at full speed. ‎ ‎“He must be afraid that his son is going to 47 somebody,” I said to Erica. “We’d better be 48 , too.”‎ Then we also skied down the hill at a great speed. As we returned to the top, I noticed that the man was 49 his son, who was still lying in the sled, back up to the summit. When we reached the top, the boy was ready to play again. Again, the father 50 him down the hill, and then pulled both the boy and the sled back up. The little boy was terribly spoilt by his father, I thought. ‎ ‎51 he was small, the child could pull his own sled up the hill once in a while. This 52 went on for more than an hour, but the man never 53 , and he was very happy instead. Finally, I could 54 it no longer. I called to him, “You have tremendous 55 !”‎ The man smiled and said, “He has cerebral palsy (脑瘫). He can’t walk. ”‎ I was dumbstruck (惊呆的). It had all seemed so happy, so 56 , that it never occurred to me that the child might be 57 . Although I didn’t know the man’s name, I told the 58 in my newspaper column. Either he or someone he knew must have recognized him, 59 shortly afterward, I received this letter:‎ Dear Mrs. Silverman, ‎ The energy I expended on the hill that day is 60 compared to what my son does every day.
