Social networking sites, such as micro-blog, blog and the Facebook, have actually become __37__ of the school hallways (走廊), so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to __38__ your online __39__ and conversations with friends?‎ In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were __40__ with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they had no __41__ to be good at new technology. __42__, more and more parents are beginning to __43__ just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the __44__ to educate themselves about social networking sites.‎ These days many people are __45__ to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over __46__ that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is __47__ when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.‎ It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our __48__ lives.

The passage is intended to ______.‎ ‎ A. stress the priority for housing in the University of Tennessee ‎ B. introduce sponsorships from governments, organizations and corporations ‎ C. teach students how to preserve their International Undergraduate Merit Scholarship ‎ D. inform students of the application for UT’s International Undergraduate Merit Scholarship B Almost one hundred fifty years ago, Charles Darwin, the famous British naturalist, proposed a surprising new theory about the cause of human emotions. Facial expressions, he argued, are more than the visible signs of an emotion; to some extent they actually cause the emotion. The theory was controversial and, at the time, impossible to prove.‎ Within the last few decades, psychologists have been investigating the idea that we can put smiles in our hearts by first putting them on our faces. In a research study, volunteers were asked to say words that placed their facial muscles into either smiles or frowns. The purpose of the task was not explained. After the experiment, the volunteers who said words like ‘cheese’ were measurably happier than those who ‎ said words like ‘few’.‎ To explain these results, the researchers theorized that there is a relationship between facial expressions and the temperature of the blood entering the brain. According to their theory, the muscle contraction (收缩) produced by a facial expression raises or lowers the temperature of the blood that flows through the person’s face. The change in temperature is slight — less than 1℃. The blood vessels (血管) in the face connect to the carotid artery, which leads to the hypothalamus, an area of the brain believed to control emotions. The researchers theorized that warmer blood, which is associated with frowning, leads to feelings of unhappiness. A smile, which is created by a different set of muscles, lowers the blood temperature and tends to produce a feeling of happiness.‎ In another study, volunteers were told exactly which facial muscles to contract but they were not told which emotion they were mimicking (模仿). As they produced the muscular movements of a particular emotional expression, they tended to experience that emotion. For example, while making a fearful expression, they reported feeling more fear than anger, sadness, or despair.‎ Acceptance of the research relating emotions to facial expressions, especially the blood temperature theory, is far from universal. However, some psychologists hope that the phenomenon may be useful in treating mild depression. They do agree, though, that facial expressions are not the most important causes of emotion. Encouraging people to smile while they are mourning (哀痛), for example, would do little to lessen their grief.‎ ‎58. Why was Darwin’s theory not accepted when it was put forward?‎ ‎ A. People could not think of a way to test the theory.‎ ‎ B. Accurate measurement of blood temperature was not possible.‎ ‎ C. Scientists did not fully understand the function of the hypothalamus.‎ ‎ D. Most scientists mistakenly believed that emotions were caused by thoughts.‎ ‎59. According to Paragraph 2, after volunteers said words that placed their facial muscles into smiles, the researchers _____.‎ ‎ A. drew off some blood entering the volunteers’ brains ‎ B. explained the purpose of the study to the volunteers ‎ C. placed the volunteers’ facial muscles into frowns ‎ D. determined how happy the volunteers felt ‎60. What words can be used to complete the following process of changes?‎ Blood temperature __________.‎ A person says ‘cheese’.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ The ___________ is affected.‎ The person feels happy.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ A. rises; carotid artery B. falls; hypothalamus C. rises; hypothalamus D. falls; carotid artery ‎61.What is the passage mainly about?‎ ‎ A. The role of the hypothalamus in one’s experiencing emotions.‎ ‎ B. The potential uses of facial expressions in treating mild depression.‎ ‎ C. The theory that facial expressions may contribute to emotions.‎ ‎ D. The range of emotions felt by volunteers in experiments. ‎ C In the US, well-being tends to be highest in a person’s earliest and latest years. But elsewhere, new research shows, quality of life follows a very different pattern. ‎ ‎“I’m nearly 70 years old, and I can tell you that bad things begin to happen as you get older,” said Angus Deaton, a professor of economics and international affairs. This is not particularly surprising information. ‎ What is surprising, though, is that in terms of psychological well-being, a person’s later years — even with declining health and in the face of ageism — tend to be some of their best. ‎ In recent years, a growing number of researchers have supported the idea that well-being tends to follow a roughly U-shaped curve (曲线), peaking in youth and old age and bottoming out somewhere around a person’s 40s or 50s.‎ For example, in a study published in The Lancet, Deaton and other researchers from London University, Stony Brook University, and the University of Southern ‎ California put the U-shaped curve in context to look at the relationship between age and well-being across four different groupings: wealthy English-speaking countries, Eastern Europe and former members of the Soviet Union, sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America and the Caribbean.‎ What’s behind the late-in-life rising? “You accumulate emotional wisdom as you get older. You know, when you’re 25, you go on blind dates with people that, when you’re 50, you know you should stay away from,” Deaton said, “You just learn how to live your life better.”‎ The problem, though, is that a life in San Francisco, for example, may be lived very differently from a life in Santiago or St. Petersburg. As Gallup showed with its World Poll in 2013, the average person’s sense of well-being varies greatly from country to country. ‎ While the study didn’t go into why these geographic differences exist — “Your guess is as good as mine,” Deaton said — he did offer a few common-sense theories. “In the high-income English-speaking countries, the elderly gets treated very well indeed,” he said. “In places with poor health care, by contrast, the negatives of ageing may outweigh the profit of emotional wisdom.”‎ But, he added, the particular distribution of each well-being curve is likely generation-specific, with present-day feelings shaped at least partly by the events a person has witnessed over his or her lifetime. “In the former Soviet Union countries, for instance, the collapse of communism was not that terrible for younger people, who could go abroad and do all sorts of things like going to graduate school,” he explained, “But older people lost a lot of their pensions and health care. So it was very bad for them.” ‎ ‎62. The author is surprised to learn that _______.‎ ‎ A. quality of life in different countries follow very different patterns ‎ B. varieties of bad things will occur to people as a result of aging process ‎ C. physical well-being doesn’t necessarily lead to psychological well-being ‎ D. a person tends to be at the peak of his psychological well-being in his later years ‎63. Which of the following probably reflects American people’s well-being?‎ Middle age Old age Youth Youth Old age Middle age A. B.‎ Middle age Old age and youth Middle age Youth Middle age Old age C. D. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎64. Which does NOT belong to the findings of Deaton’s study about well-being?‎ ‎ A. Ages have a great effect on people’s well-being. ‎ ‎ B. Well-being follows a roughly U-shaped curve.‎ ‎ C. People tend to accumulate emotional wisdom as they age. ‎ ‎ D. There’re some reasons for the existence of geographic differences. ‎ ‎65. What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Younger people are willing to adapt themselves to new situations. ‎ ‎ B. Older people are bent to experience terrible events in their lifetime. ‎ ‎ C. A specific generation are likely to witness a particular well-being curve. ‎ ‎ D. Life experiences are vital to promoting people’s sense of well-being. ‎ D When you’re at a party, do you suddenly feel desperate to escape to somewhere quiet such as a bathroom and just sit there? Until I read Quiet: The Power of Introverts (内向的人) in a World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain, I think it is just me. Other partygoers grow increasingly dynamic as the night wears on while I feel so eager to go home. But it’s not just me. It’s a characteristic shared by introverts the world over. “We fell this way because our brains are sensitive to over-stimulation (过度刺激),” writes Cain. So that’s why I’m like that!‎ Cain has always been an introvert in a world that misguidedly respects extroverts. We make them our bosses and our political leaders. We foolishly admire their self-help books. Cain writes, “Private occasions that make me feel connected with the joys and sorrows of the world often come in the form of communication with writers and musicians I’ll never meet in person. Before the Industrial Revolution, American self-help books praised characters. Nowadays it’s personality. ‎ She also adds, “We introverts attempt to imitate extroverts, and the stress of not being ‘true to ourselves’ can make us physically and mentally ill.” One introvert Cain knew spent so much of his life trying to attach himself to the extrovert ideal that he ended up catching pneumonia (肺炎). This would have been avoided if he’d spent more time in bathrooms.‎ At the Harvard Business School, socializing is “an extreme sport”, where extroverts are able to get more book deals and art exhibitions. Cain had to convince a publisher that she could overcome stage fright (怯场) at book festivals before he agreed to take her on. In America, extroverted parents tend to send their introverted children to psychologists to have their introversion “treated”. We think extroverts are great because they’re charming, chatty and self-assured, but in fact we’re committing a severe error structuring our society around their meaningless talk. ‎ At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They prefer listening to speaking, reading to partying, creating to self-promoting and working on their own to brainstorming in teams. Although they are often described as quiet, it is to introverts that we owe many of the great contributions to society. ‎ Most unusually, we form workplaces around the extrovert ideal. In open-plan offices group-think favors extroverts. The loudest, most socially confident and quickest on their feet win the day while the quietly well-informed tend not to get a word in. School classrooms are increasingly designed to reflect such a flawed (有瑕疵的) environment. Children are rewarded for being outgoing rather than being original. “You can’t ask a teacher for help unless everyone in your group has the same question”, reads a sign in one New York classroom. Even though Gandhi, Rosa Parks, Steve Wozniak, J.K. Rowling and Anna Eleasor Roosevelt have described ‎ themselves as introverts, they are at their best when lonely. ‎ Cain says an introverted child “is an orchid (兰花) who dies easily and is most likely reduced to depression, anxiety and shyness, but under the right conditions an orchid can grow strong and magnificent”. When I get to this part, I think “Yes, we are like orchids! With good care we can become extremely successful in the things that matter to us.”‎ I finished Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking a month ago and I can’t get it out of my head. It is in many ways an important book — so persuasive, timely and heartfelt that it should effect change in schools and offices. It’s also a good idea to write a book that tells introverts how awesome and undervalued they are. I’m thrilled to discover that some of the characteristics I’ve found shameful are actually indicators that I’m amazing. It’s a Female Eunuch of anxious bookworms. I’m not surprised that it went straight to number one on The New York Times best-seller list. ‎ ‎66. Cain feels connected to the outside world mainly by _______.‎ ‎ A. talking to writers and musicians B. socializing with political leaders ‎ C. enjoying books and music D. going to different parties ‎67. Which of the following reflects Cain’s opinion?‎ ‎ A. Mental diseases can cause changes in our personalities.‎ ‎ B. Trying to change our real characters will make us suffer.‎ ‎ C. Structuring our society around talks makes a difference.‎ ‎ D. Introverts make comparatively fewer contributions to society. ‎ ‎68. The underlined sentence in the passage is used to _______.‎ ‎ A. draw a conclusion B. provide a typical example ‎ C. analyze a reason D. present a sharp contrast ‎69. In Cain’s opinion, an “orchid” child _______.‎ ‎ A. is likely to be shy but enthusiastic B. is reluctant to overcome depression ‎ ‎ C. can achieve success with proper care D. can change conditions and ‎ grow strong ‎70. What does the author think of Cain’s book mentioned in the passage?‎ ‎ A. It tends to overvalue the introverts. B. It has already become a hit with readers. ‎ ‎ C. It will bring complete reforms in schools. D. It motivates readers to be amazing people. ‎ 第二卷（三部分，共35分）‎ 第四部分 任务型阅读（满分10分）‎ 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最适当的单词。每空只填一个单词。‎ If you haven't heard or seen anything about road rage (路怒症) in the last few months, you've probably been avoiding the media. There have been countless stories about this new and scary phenomenon, and you have most likely run into aggressive driving or road rage recently if you drive at all. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, 41,907 people died on the highways last year. Of those deaths, the agency estimates that about two-thirds, were caused at least in part by aggressive driving behavior.‎ Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now and why is it something that seemed almost nonexistent a few short years ago? Experts have several theories. One suggestion is overcrowding. In the last decade, the number of cars on the roads has increased by more than 11%. and the number of miles driven has increased by 35%. However, the number of new road miles has only increased by 1%. That means more cars in the same amount of space. Also, people have less time, but more things to do. With people working and trying to fit extra chores and activities into the day, stress levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads to short tempers. These factors, when combined in certain situations, can spell Road Rage.‎ Whether you are getting angry at other drivers, or another driver is upset with you, there are things you can do to avoid any major conflict. If you are susceptible (easily influenced) to road rage, the key is to discharge your emotion in a healthy way.‎ ‎1. Keep your driving environment calm. Creating a positive driving environment will help keep you calm and you are more likely to pay no attention to the road rage of others. For example, you can listen to music that makes you happy.‎ ‎2. Allow yourself plenty of time. Being late will make you anxious and impatient, so you'll be more likely to get angry at other drivers and make irresponsible driving decisions that will make them angry at you. Leaving yourself plenty of drive time will help you stay relaxed.‎ ‎3. Be a polite driver. Allow other drivers pass you or get over into your lane if needed. Helping other drivers will put you and them in a more peaceful state of mind and following the rules of the road will keep you safe.‎ ‎4. Avoid confrontation (对抗). If an angry driver yells at you or shares a rude gesture out of his or her window, don't make eye contact or yell back. Keep your eyes on the road and ignore the angry driver. Fighting and driving angrily is dangerous to both of you as well as the other drivers and will only make things worse.‎ Road Rage Present (71) ________‎ It's estimated that in the last year, about two-thirds of the deaths on the high way (72) ________ from aggressive driving behavior at least in part.‎ ‎(73) ________ for road rage The following factors in certain situations can (74) ________ for Road Rage.‎ ‎·The roads have been (75) ________ with cars in the last decade.‎ ‎·People have less time and more things to do, so their stress levels have been high enough to create anxiety, (76) ________ to short tempers.‎ ‎(77) ________ on how to avoid the conflict The key to avoiding it is to discharge your emotion (78) ________.‎ ‎·Keep your driving environment calm, then you are more likely to (79) ________ the road rage of others.‎ ‎·Allow yourself plenty of time. Your (80) ________ and impatience will make you more likely to get angry or make irresponsible driving decisions.‎ ‎·Be a polite driver.‎ ‎·Avoid confrontation.‎ 第五部分： 单词拼写（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）‎ 请根据所给首字母填入所缺单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上，每个空格只填1个单词。‎ ‎81.

Maybe some of your thoughts go something like this: Life will be better once I’m out of debt. I can’t wait until I’m retired because then I can do what I want when I want. If only I lived somewhere warm, I could exercise all year round and I would be so fit. If I could just lose 10 pounds, I know I would feel better.‎ Truth is some of your problems may go away once you have met all of your “if only” and “better when’s”, but it won’t make the perfect life that fairy tales are made of. New problems will arise and you’ll likely find yourself wishing for this “perfect” life to be different still.
