The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.‎ ‎ Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back---- the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.‎ I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.‎ Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.‎ The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.‎ Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack----- The first time I felt panic.‎ Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.‎ ‎25. The brown bear approached the family in order to _______.‎ A. catch shore birds B. start an attack C. protect the children D. set up a barrier for itself ‎26. The bear finally went away after it _______.‎ A. felt safe B. got injured C. found some food D. took away the camera ‎27. The writer and his family survived mainly due to their ______ .‎ A. pride B. patience C. calmness D. cautiousness C Choosing the Right Resolution ‎ ‎ Millions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution they started 2013 with, a goal of losing weight. However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.‎ ‎ To reach our goal of losing weight --- the output, we need to control what we eat --- the input. That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construct goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable(可行的) resolution: “I’ll stop having desert for lunch,” or “I’ll walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.‎ ‎ Recently a new science behind inspiration, including in education, has been discussed. For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he gave students inspiration based on input, like reading certain books, while in others, the inspirations were based on output, like results on exams. His main finding was that encouragements increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output. Fryer’s conclusion was that the inspirations for inputs might be more effective because they do not know how to do better on exam, apart from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control.‎ ‎ As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a much higher chance of success. And it’s easier to start again if you fail, because you know exactly what you need to do.‎ ‎ If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe, for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isn’t a goal because it’s too general. Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, don’t stop with this general wish. Think about an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday.‎ ‎ In the long run, these new goals could become a habit.‎ ‎28. The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because _______ .‎ A. it is hard to achieve for most Americans B. it is focused too much on the result C. it is dependent on too many things D. it is based on actionable decisions ‎29. In Roland Fryer’s research, some students did better than the others because ______ .‎ A. they obeyed all the general rules B. they paid more attention to exams C. they were motivated by their classmates D. they were rewarded for reading some books ‎30. According to the writer, which of the following statements is a good goal?‎ A. “I’ll give up desert.” B. “I’ll study harder.”‎ C. “I’ll cut down my expense” D. “I’ll spend more time with my family”‎ ‎31. The writer strongly believes that we should ________ .‎ A. develop good habits and focus on the outcome B. be optimistic about final goals and stick to them C. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habits D. set ambitious goals that can balance the input and output D Multitasking What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed at the entrance? Or the soft background music?‎ But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.‎ A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into ‎ its stores, customers’ intension to purchase increased by 80 percent.‎ When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.‎ Some years ago, the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’ disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.‎ Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut (椰子) scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.‎ ‎32. According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store? A. Friendly assistant. B. Unique scents.‎ C. Soft background music D. attractive window display.‎ ‎33. E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _______ .‎ A. show the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores B. urge shop assistants to change their attitude C. push stores to use sights and sounds D. introduce the rise of e-commerce ‎34. The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means _______ .‎ A. a platform that exhibits goods B. a spot where travelers like to stay C. a place where customers love to go D. a target that a store expects to meet ‎35. The main purpose of the passage is to ______ .‎ A. compare and evaluate B. examine and assess C. argue and discuss D. inform and explain 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。‎ Hollywood movies are regularly filled with sex and violence. They can be exciting films but sometimes all you want is a little light-hearted entertainment.‎ ‎   Have you heard of Bollywood? All singing, all dancing and unrealistic, it is the perfect alternative to normal Hollywood movies. Bollywood is the Indian film industry, based in Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay.   36  Yet Bollywood is the largest producer of films in the world. This year the Indian Filmgare Awards, Bollywood's Oscars, turn 50 years old.‎ ‎   The typical Bollywood movie usually has the following ingredients: a cup of romance, a tea-spoon of comedy, a dash of international sight-seeing, served with a huge slice of singing and dancing.

The films tell them the impossible is possible and that true love conquers all.‎ ‎      39   Behind the beautiful scenes, Bollywood still emphasizes traditional family values. In most films, if two lovers want to break an arranged marriage, they can't just run away. They must win over their parents.‎ ‎    Bollywood is a decent refreshing replacement for those over-stimulating Hollywood films.   40   They will take you to a brighter, cheerier and more colorful world, where it's still cool to dance around a tree and sing a love song.‎ A．Bollywood has gradually won its reputation on the world stage.‎ B．There is never any mention of politics, poverty or war.‎ C．Most Chinese school kids have probably never seen an Indian film.‎ D．Bollywood films are mostly comic romances with light-hearted incidental music.‎ E.  Bollywood pays great attention to traditional values. ‎ F．The result is a fun-filled musical.‎ G．So if you're tired of all that Hollywood actions, check out the following Bollywood films.‎ 第II卷 第二部分：语言知识利用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：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四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Many years ago, my dad was diagnosed with an illness that couldn’t be cured.
