Parents shower their kids with affection，but it is intermingled with the desire to help their children achieve success．Parents are happy when their child studies hard，practices hard，wins first place，gets into a famous college．‎ The wolf of conditional love is hidden in these homes．The parents feel they love their children in all circumstances．But the children often think differently．They feel that childhood is a performance—on the athletic field，in school and beyond．The shadowy presence of conditional love produces a fear，the fear that there is no completely safe love．‎ Meanwhile，children who are uncertain of their parents’ love develop a great hunger for it. This conditional love is1ike an acid that affects children’s criteria to make their own decisions about their own colleges，majors and careers．At key decision-points，they unconsciously imagine how their parents will react．‎ These children tell their parents those things that will bring praise and hide the parts of their lives that won’t. Studies suggest that children who receive conditional love often do better in the short run．They can be model students．But they suffer in the long run. They come to hate their parents．They are so influenced by fear that they become afraid of risk．‎ Parents today are less likely to demand obedience(顺从) with explicit rules and lectures．But they are more likely to use love as a tool to exercise control. But parental love is supposed to ignore achievement. It’s meant to be an unconditional support -a gift that can not be bought and cannot be earned．‎ ‎21．What does the underlined word “intermingled” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. Greeted． B. Mixed． C. Compared． D. Separated．‎ ‎22．Some children can’t make their own decisions probably because________.‎ A. they have too many options B. they are lacking in parents’ advice C. they are doubtful about parents’ love D. they care too much about parents’ reaction ‎23．What’s the author’s opinion about parental love？‎ A.

He was 76.‎ Considered by many to be the world’s greatest living scientist, Hawking was also a cosmologist, astronomer, mathematician and author of numerous books including the landmark“A Brief History of Time,” which has sold more than 10 million copies.‎ With fellow physicist Roger Penrose, Hawking combined Einstein’s theory of relativity with quantum theory(量子理论) to suggest that space and time would begin with the Big Bang and end in black holes. He also discovered that black holes were not completely black but emit(释放) radiation and would likely eventually evaporate(蒸发) and disappear. “It will be difficult enough to avoid disasters on planet Earth in the next 100 years, let alone next thousand, or million. The human race shouldn’t have all its eggs in one basket or on one plant. Let’s hope we can avoid dropping the basket until we have spread the load.”‎ Hawking suffered from ALS (amyotrophic latcral sclerosis), a disease which is usually fatal within a few years. He was diagnosed in 1963, when he was 21, and doctors initially gave him only a few years to live. The disease left Hawking wheelchair-bound and paralyzed. He was able to move only a few ‎ fingers on one hand and was completely dependent on others or on technology for everything—bathing, dressing, eating, even speech. “I have been lucky that my condition has progressed more slowly than is often the case. But it shows that one need not lose hope.” Dramatically, he even guest-starred in the “Star Trek”, “The Simpsons” and the 2014movie “The theory of Everything”.‎ Hawking leaves behind three children and three grandchildren. “We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today,” Hawking’s children, Lucy, Robert and Tim, said in a statement. “He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years. His courage and persistence with his brilliance and humor inspired people across the world. “We will miss him forever.”‎ ‎24．From the passage, we can learn that .‎ A. Hawking was diagnosed with the fatal disease since he was born.‎ B. Hawking was once the main character in the movie and TV series.‎ C. Hawking just published one book titled “A Brief History of Time”‎ D. Hawking had to rely on other people and technology to do everything in life.‎ ‎25．Which of the following is NOT believed by Stephen Hawking?‎ A. The space and time would end in black holes.‎ B. Black holes are not exactly black in color.‎ C. The disasters can be avoided in the next thousand or million years.‎ D. Black holes can give off radiation and will disappear in the end.‎ ‎26．What does the underlined sentence mean?‎ A. The humans should explore other planets to live.‎ B. The humans should stay together to fight the disasters.‎ C. The earth will be destroyed if humans continue to live here D. No other planets can replace the earth as the living place.‎ ‎27．What would be the best title of the passage?‎ A. A Star Just Went Out in the Cosmos B. The Achievements of Stephen Hawking C. Stephen Hawking’s Suffering of the Disease D.

You might not feel lonely right now, but there might be times when you do. Here are some tips on dealing with loneliness:‎ Be positive about yourself. 51． If you constantly think of yourself as ugly, mean, or unattractive, then it will be difficult for you to connect with others. You must accept yourself before you can accept others. It’s common that you might have some negative qualities. So does everyone else. So in order to ‎ get rid of loneliness, you should focus on your positive side and think of yourself in a positive way.‎ Have an attitude of gratitude (感恩).52． It’s easy to focus on the negatives in life, but don’t forget that there are also many positives. Remember them and be thankful. What does this have to do with loneliness? Well, if you are grateful, then you will become cheerful.53． See the positive side of others. Just as you should see the positive side of yourself, you should also see the positive side of others. Everyone has shortcomings, but everyone also has a positive side.54． That will make you like them and make it easier for you to connect with them.‎ ‎55． The more you think about yourself, the more likely it is for you to have a pity party and feel lonely. For example, you might think that nobody likes you or cares about you. So it’s important that you shift your attention away from yourself. It can be as simple as smiling at your neighbors or holding a door for a stranger.‎ A. Join a community group.‎ B. Do something for others.‎ C. Negative thoughts can kill you.‎ D. Instead, try to make more friends.‎ E. And that will attract people to you.‎ F. Count your blessings and be grateful for them.‎ G. So choose to value the positive aspects of them.‎ 五、短文改错 ‎56．假如英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌的以下作文，文中共有10 处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加，删除或修改。‎ 增加: 在缺词处加一个漏字符号(/),并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除: 把多余的词用斜线() 划掉。‎ 修改: 在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意: 1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词:‎ ‎2.只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起) 不计分。‎ This afternoon I went to see my grandfather by a bus.
