I was a college freshman ‎ and had stayed up most of the night before laughing and talking with friends. Now just before my first class of the day my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier and my head was drifting down to my desk to make my textbook  a pillow. A few minutes’ nap time before class couldn’t hurt, I thought. Boom! I lifted my head immediately and my eyes opened wider than saucers. I looked around with my heart beating quickly trying to find the cause of the noise. My young professor was looking back at me with a mischievous, boyish smile on his face. He had intentionally dropped the pile of textbooks he was carrying onto my desk. “Good morning !” he said, still smiling. “I’m glad to see everyone is awake. Now let’s get started.” For the next hour I wasn’t sleepy at all. It wasn’t from the shock of my professor’s textbook alarm clock either. Instead, it was from the attractive discussion he led. With knowledge and good humor, he made the material come alive. His insights were full of both wisdom and loving kindness. And the enthusiasm and joy that he taught with were contagious（有感染力的）. I left the classroom not only wide awake, but a little smarter and a little better as well. I learned something far more important than not sleeping in class that day too. I learned that if you are going to do something in this life, do it well, do it with joy, and make it an expression of your love. What a glorious place this world would be if all of us did our work joyously and well ! What a beautiful world we could create if every doctor, teacher, musician, cook, waitress, poet, miner, farmer, and laborer made their work an expression of their love ! Don’t sleepwalk your way through life then. Wake up! Let your love fill your work and your soul. Life is too short not to live it well. 24. What did the author want to do just before his first class of the day? A. Talk with his friends.                B. Take a short sleep.     C. Get his eyes examined.              D. Stay away from the class. 25. The underlined word “mischievous” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.     A. naughty        B. tricky      C. sensitive          D.‎ ‎ dishonest 26. What else did the author learn that day?     A. Students should not sleep in class but respect their teachers.     B. Everyone should love his job and sleepwalk his way through life.     C. Life is too limited to make your work an expression of your love.     D. People from all walks of life should do their jobs with wisdom and love. 27. What can be inferred from this passage?     A. The professor often kept his students sharp by using a textbook alarm.     B. The author was attracted by the professor’s great wisdom and enthusiasm.     C. The author left the two-hour period not only wide awake, but a little smarter.     D. Though the author was frightened awake, he was not clear-headed in the class ‎ ‎ C Nowadays the U.S. students are sleepy in school because they spend too much time texting , playing video games, watching TV, and using the media in other ways. “Heavy media use interferes（干预） with sleep by reducing sleep duration（持续时间）, making it harder to fall asleep, and lowering sleep quality,” Meilan Zhang, an assistant professor at the University of Texas at El Paso, wrote in her research review in the journal, Sleep Medicine. But the relationship between youth’s media use and sleep is not so simple, said Michael Gradisar, who authored both that review and the Sleep Medicine meta-analysis. “Technology use is the new evidence when we are trying to answer ‘Why are school-age children sleeping less’” said Mr. Gradisar, an associate professor of psychology at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia.‎ There may be safe limits to technology use, Mr. Gradisar stated. For instance, recent research results indicate that using a bright screen for an hour before bed or even playing violent video games for less than that will not necessarily interfere with teenagers’ sleep, he wrote.‎ But longer periods of usage can be harmful to sleep, Mr. Gradisar added. Rather than delaying school start times, he said, the first step should be educating parents about limiting the hours that their children are using technology before bed, and enforcing a consistent bedtime. Early school start times are also commonly blamed for students’ sleepiness, especially for adolescents. Secondary schools around the nation and the world have been delaying start times, often with positive results.‎ ‎ Mr. Minnich of the TIMSS and PIRLS International Study Center hesitated to put blame to any particular factor. But he did think that cost-saving measures to consolidate（合并）bus routes might help explain U.S. students’ sleepiness.‎ ‎“For those children who board the bus first, they must get up earlier, may end up sleeping on the way to school, and may end up arriving at school sleepy.” he said. 28．Which of the following may be the best title for the text？‎ A．Kids benefit a lot from technology. ‎ B．Some tips can help kids sleep well.‎ C．Several factors affect kids’ sleep. ‎ D．Several sleep troubles appear at school. ‎ ‎29．According to Meilan Zhang , .‎ A．students are good at using the media B．students’ sleep is affected by the media C．students ues the media during sleeping D．students suffer from technology badly ‎30．Which of the following may be the good way to help kids sleep better？ A．Their playing time must be limited. ‎ B．Technology is forbidden at home. C．They are allowed to go to school early. ‎ D．Parents should be well educated. 31．Who are most likely to be interested in the text A．The officials. B．The teachers. ‎ ‎ C．The parents. D.The researchers.‎ D Back in 2003 an 86-year-old man drove his Buick through a crowded farmers’ market. Nine people were killed. More than fifty-four people were hurt, fourteen with serious injuries. When he finally stopped, the 86-year-old man got out his car and screamed at people to get out of the way. No alcohol or drugs were found in his system. Apparently, he was just old and confused.‎ This is a frightening accident, and it is not a rare one. There are many examples of elderly drivers driving into swimming pools, houses, storefronts, or worse.‎ In our teenage years we all hear “driving is not a right, it’s a privilege.” That is still true, and there comes an age when driving is no longer a privilege that can be allowed. After a certain age, eyesight and dementia(痴呆) are very serious concerns. Undoubtedly, these age-related problems affect some older adults’ driving ability. By the time a person is between eighty-five and ninety years old, his ‎ or her driving privileges should be examined.‎ Licensing laws vary greatly from state to state, and it’s time for a national law on the maximum age limit for driving. The motivation for this law is safety. Another option is to start with laws that ban anyone over the age of eighty-five from driving after sundown, because driving conditions are not as safe as daylight hours. Still another option that may allow older drivers to continue driving could be new technology. Maybe a voice warning system that cautions drivers on busy streets or at traffic lights. Finally, since there are laws against driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, shouldn’t some prescription（处方） drugs also be included? The average 85-year-old is undoubtedly taking at least one or two prescription drugs daily.‎ The thought of an 86-year-old driver with failing eyesight running down the road in a two-ton piece of metal is unsettling to us all. Driving at an advanced age is not only challenging for the elderly drivers, it’s dangerous for the rest of us. ‎ ‎32．The first paragraph is written in order to show .‎ A．the harm of driving at an old age B．the importance of traffic safety C．traffic accidents are on the rise D．many elderly drivers are careless ‎33．The author suggests that there should be new laws against driving .‎ A．over eighty-five B．between sunset and dawn C．with the help of voice warning systems D．under the influence of prescription drugs ‎34．The underlined word “unsettling” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “ ”.‎ A．disappointing B．worrying C．touching ‎ D．interesting ‎35．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?‎ A．How to keep old people safe on the road?‎ B．Are drivers well protected by licensing laws?‎ C．Should there be an age limit for elderly drivers?‎ D．Is driving a right or a privilege for an old person?‎ 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。‎ Today we eat on the go, at our desks and even in front of computers. We eat takeout, delivered and packaged meals, ______36______‎ ‎“Over the past three decades, people have started eating out more than ever before and purchasing（购买） more prepared foods at the grocery store, which tend to contain more fat, salt and sugar than their home-made foods,” noted（指出） US healthy living website SparkPeople.‎ ‎_____37_____ It encourages us to value the time we spend preparing, sharing and consuming food, as a recent USA Today article put it. It all started in 1986 with the efforts of Slow Food’s founding father, Italian activist Carlo Petrini, who wanted to bring back food varieties and flavors that had gone dark in the face of industrialization._____38____ Now, his idea is almost the mainstream.‎ Starting at the table, the movement promotes an unhurried way of life founded on the idea that everyone has a right to cooking pleasure, and that everyone must also take responsibility to “protect the heritage (遗产) of food, tradition and culture that make this celebration of the senses possible”, wrote The Phnom Penh Post.‎ ‎“ ______ 39_____ It means turning down the speed at which we eat and increasing the amount of time we spend dining together with other people,” Althea Zanecosky, spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association, told The Huffington Post. “ ______40_______ Dinner table conversations keep families together,” noted the Belgian non-profit organization Greenfudge.‎ A. It is a way to bring back the social togetherness of yesterday.‎ B. It seems that we have adapted our foods to our fast-paced lives.‎ C. So, the Slow Food Movement has occurred against this fast-food trend.‎ D. Slow Food doesn’t necessarily mean food that takes a long time to cook.‎ E. It is based on the idea that we should spend as much time as possible on cooking.‎ F. It’s not only the food itself but also the time we spend dining together that matters.‎ G. At that time, he asked people to follow a more sustainable (可持续的) living model.‎ 第三部分 英语知识应用 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面的短文，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。‎ One day, I went to my favorite cafe for lunch.

Many students took an active part in the activity. However, some students who are poor at handwriting don’t want to improve their handwriting. The reasons are as follows: On one hand, they think that there is no need to waste time improving their handwriting because they can just use a computer. On the other hand, they believe that they are too busy with their studies to find time to practice. Besides, practicing handwriting is so difficult that they can’t make great progress in a short time. In my view, Students’ beautiful and neat handwriting is beneficial to themselves. What’s more, good handwriting is always appreciated by people, especially by teachers. Therefore, more emphasis should be placed on this aspect in future.‎
