Clearly, there was no point in keeping the others, so I look out the nail scissors to cut them all off. “What are you doing, Mom?”my daughter cried, “ your nails look great! Don’t cut them!” “But they’re ruined,”I said, waving the broken one in her face. “They’re not ruined,”she said .” you still have nine nails left!” I hesitated, with the scissors still in my hand. My nails certainly weren’t perfect anymore, and the opposite of “perfect”is “ruined”, right? I mean, this is how I think about most things: it’s all or nothing. Take my finances for example. I can spend weeks being sensible and buying only essential items, such as food for my family. And then one day, I’ll see something expensive that I really like and buy it. Then, I think to myself,“well, I already spent 100dollars on that dress last week,so I may as well spend 50dollars on this lipstick （ 口 红 ） ”and give up saving entirely, I’ve thought about why I act this way, but I don’t know what causes this behavior. I seem to go from “good”to“complete disaster”in a matter of moments. My brain only sees“perfect”or “disaster”,which is extremely unhelpful. We humans are never just good or bad-we are far more complex. We have wins and we have losses and, occasionally, they are hard to tell apart. Some people understand this instinctively （ 本 能 地 ）， while others struggle. For most of us, learning not to do the thing we’re used to requires effort and discomfort. However, we should remind ourselves that we sometimes make mistakes, and that this doesn’t mean we’ve failed. We need to accept that things will sometimes go wrong. Indeed, failure is part of life. We all fall occasionally, and we normally get straight back up. And so, with my daughter’s words ringing in my ears, I decided to keep my nine nice nails. I feel annoyed every time I look at my hands , but I ‘m determined to live with my choice. It’s a perfect exercise in imperfection. Maybe soon, I’ll switch off my computer the next time I feel like I might buy something else I don’t need, although I may need my daughter there to guide me again. 21. why did the author want to cut off her nails? A.She got all of them ruined. B.She didn’t like long nails at all. C.She didn’t want to have imperfect nails D.She wanted to prevent them being broken. 22. what is the author’s problem with her life? A. She is rather crazy about shopping B. She looks at life in an extreme way C. She is too careful with her finances D. She is unwilling to change her mind. 23. What does the author think of failure? A. It is just a normal part of life B. It can help people to be stronger C. It can completely destroy our life D. It is something we need to overcome B My son Sam is 16 and autistic(自闭症). There’s a lot of going on in that beautiful and brilliant mind of his, but even on a good day he can be easily at a loss. Throw in some diagnosed anxiety, an inability to read social cues(信号) and an unexpected change to his daily routine, and you have the way to deal with a very public meltdown(崩溃)。 It was Sam’s very first day at high school. We’d set up a plan for how he’d get home: I’d pick him up outside the shop near his school at 3:30 pm and I believed this was a perfect plan. Unknown to me, very bad weather was on its way and I was unable to warm him to take a shelter. With the combination of his dead phone battery and my dead car battery, I was running late and unable to communicate that to him. As a result, he was left alone and extremely frightened. He became very upset outside the shop,exactly where I’d told him to wait. This was when a beautiful older Vietnamese lady not only went to CHECH ON him, but took him inside her shop, calmed him down, got my phone number form him and called me. Five years later he continued to go into her shop every afternoon, bought a drink, had a chat and she sent him home with enough bread and rolls to feed a small nation. Sam will graduate this year, and I’m increasingly feeling the need to drop by the shop to let this wonderful lady know that she has saved Sam, and that she has saved me. I’m not sure if I can communicate all of this, but at least I will get to thank her. There are people I will not get to thank, though-the many kind strangers who have been there for Sam. And believe me, if you’re wondering if this world is a complete mess right now , I ‘m here to say that is not. So I guess this is a love letter to those of you who have helped a stranger out of the goodness of your heart. Pleased know hyou are appreciated, that your beautiful heart and kindness are appreciated , and that , perhaps unknowingly, you have make a great difference in someone’s life. 24. what can we learn about Sam from the first paragraph? A. He is rather slow with his studies B. He can deal with sudden changes well C. He has difficulty in dealing with things D. He tries hard to learn how to read social cues 25. The underlined part “check on ”in paragraph 4 probably means“____” A.discover B.visit C.recognize D. examine 26. what happened to Sam after his first day at high school? A.He could get on well with his classmates B.He made good friends with the nice lady C. He brought the lady some food to thank her D.he became willing to communicate with others. 27. what is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To express her thanks to kind people B. To remind us all to help autistic people C. To show how difficult life is for autistic people D. To tell us how to make a difference in other’s lives. C If you’ve ever had a dog, you know just how deep a connection you can develop with “man’s best friend”. But a dog’s life is much shorter than humans, about 12 to 15 years long, which means every dog owner has to go through the heartbreaking moment when their loving their loving pet passes away. Why not make a clone of that dog then? This is the solution offered by a South Korea company, Sooam Biotech Research Foundation. The company has already successfully cloned at least 400 dogs, mostly for US customers, ever s9ince it pioneered the technique in 2005. Now , sooam Biotech has introduced its business to UK dog owners as well, offering them dogs that look just like their lost ones. To clone a dog, researchers first need to take a skin cell from a living dog or one that has just died. Meanwhile, another dog is selected to supply an egg. Researchers then replace the DNA in the egg with that from skin cell and implant the egg into the womb(子宫) of a female dog. The egg grows into a puppy over the following two months. The whole process takes less than a day, but it comes at a shockingly high price –around 63000dollars. But if you can’t afford it now, you can also save the cell in a laboratory and access it at a later date. However, magical as cloning might sound, there is no guarantee that the cloned dog will be a perfect copy of the original one. Just like identical twins of human, they share the exactly same DNA but there will still be small differences between them. “the spots on a Dalmatian(斑点狗) clone will be different, for example,” Insung Hwang, head of Sooam Biotech, told The Guardian. Dog owners will also have to accept the fact that personality is not “clneable”. Apart from genes, personality is also determined by upbringing and environment, which are both ranoom elements that cloning technologies simply cannot overcome,Professor Tom Kirkwood at Newcastle University, UK, told The Telegraph. Perhaps bringing our dogs back by cloning is not the best way to remember them after all. Kirkwood, a dog owner himself, pointed out, “An important aspect of our relationship with them is coming to terms with the pain of letting go. 28. What service does Sooam Biotech Researcher Foundation offer? A. Making copies of pet dogs. B. Giving pet dogs identical twins C. Helping dogs give birth to more puppies D. Helping dog owners love their dogs more 29. Which order is correct in the dog cloning process? a. An egg is taken from another dog b.a skin cell is taken from the pet dog c. The egg grows into a puppy in two months d.The egg is placed in the womb of a female dog e. The DNA in the egg is replaced by the DNA from the skin cell. A. a-d-b-e-c B. a-e-b-d-c C. b-a-d-e-c D. b-a-c-d-c 30. What can we learn about dog clonign from the passage? A. it has not been put into practice until recently B. it is very popular among US and UK pet owner C. it might not give the owners an exactly same dog. D. it is very expensive and usually takes half a year to complete. 31. What does Kirkwood think of dog cloning? A. He disagrees with it B. He supports it C. He is courious about it D. He thinks it unbelievable D Are you a procrastinator(拖拉者)？It’s a common problem. And it can be harmful, as previous research has shown that people who procrastinate have higher levels of stress and lower well-being, reported the Asoociation for psychological Science in the US. But a new study has found a way to deal with problem: Be more connected to your future self. Psychologists think that each person believe that they are really two people: “Present Me” and “Future Me”. “people act as if they perfer their current selves’ needs and desires to those of their future selves,” wrote pyschologists Neil Lewis and Daphna Oyserman. Oyserman and Lewis decided to try to find a way to make “Present Me”imagine exactly how “Future Me” would feel the night before a big paper was due, though “Present Me” hadn’t started yet. They made “Present Me” think about a far-off event as a number of days away, not months or years. Thinking about events in this way meant that something like a friend’s wedding seemed 16.3 days sooner when considered in days rather than months and 11.4 months sooner when considered in months rather than years. The researchers also tried to find out whether people would take action sooner if they were told a certain event was happening in X days rather than years. For example , participants imagined they had a newborn child, and that the child would need to go to college in either 18 years or 6570 days. The researchers found those in the “days”condition planned to start saving four times sooner than those in the“years” condition. So if you think of your life in days instead of years, you may get things done quicker. 32. What did Oyserman and Lewis intend to do through their study？ A. To work on a solution to test if someone is a procrastinator. B. To find out whether human beings usually have two different characters C. To discover procrastinators are more likely to have a lower sense of well-being D. To prove it’s helpful to connect our current selves more with future selves. 33. The underlined part “this way”in paragraph 4 refers to “_________” A. setting up tough deadlines B.following schedules strictly C.counting in smaller units of time D.imagining how your future self will feel 34. What helps prevent people from procrastinating? A. Comparing their future selves with present selves B. Considering their current selves’ nees and desires. C.Thinking about far-off events in days rather than years D.Marking important events on a calendar as a reminder 35. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. A way to get things done in time. B.The harmful effects of procrastinating C.The reason to overlook future needs and desires D.The way to reduce stress and improve happiness 第二节（共五小题，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够填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂 黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you’re a gamer who’s constantly glued to your phone, it could be time to ask for medical help.
