One or two people noticed him but walked on by. I decided to stop and check if he was ok. When I spoke to him, he said some words I couldn’t make out. From his breath it was obvious he’d been drinking. I kept trying to speak to him until I got his name—Carlton. I asked him where he lived, and he told me a number and a road name that I recognized. It was only a ten-minute walk from here. ‎ Part of me wanted to help but there’s also fear arising. He was much bigger than me, six feet three inches or so. In the end I decided to go for it and help him walk home. I got him to his feet, he held onto my shoulders and arms, and we walked slowly to his home.The walk took about 40 minutes instead of the usual ten. Every few steps he stopped to pull his trousers back up because he did’t have a belt. Throughout the walk, I felt a constant worried. ‎ Halfway to his home, he stopped, took out his phone from his pocket and then handed it to me. I asked him why he was doing that, and he said, “To test your loyalty.”That moment struck（打动） me. All this time I was worried about what he might do to me. And it meant I didn’t have the ability to empathise（感同身受）with what he was feeling. He was likely feeling the same worry. So when he handed me his phone, as a sign of trust, I felt touched and honored at this act of courage. We walked the rest of the way to his home. When we got close,before I got to see the door number,‎ ‎ I noticed he recognised his home. When we walked up, sure enough, it was the door number he had told me. I felt a sense of relief.I handed him back his phone, he thanked me and I made my way home, now with a lesson in empathy.‎ ‎1.

What message does the passage intend to convey?‎ ‎ A. Kindness is in itself a reward.‎ ‎ B. Put yourself in others’ shoes.‎ ‎ C. Think twice before you leap ‎ D. Never judge a book by its cover. ‎ ‎ B Is there a magic cutoff period when children become responsible for their own actions? Is there a wonderful moment when parents can become spectators(旁观者)in the lives of their children and say, “it’s their life,” and feel nothing?‎ ‎ When I was in my twenties, I stood in a hospital corridor(走廊) waiting for doctors to put a few stitches(缝几针)in my son’s head. I asked, “When do you stop worrying?” A nurse said, “When they get out of the accident stage.” My mother just smiled faintly(淡淡地)and said nothing.‎ ‎ When I was in my thirties, I sat on a little chair in a classroom and heard how one of my children talked incessantly, disturbing（扰乱） the class. As if to read my mind, a teacher said, “ Don’t worry. They all go through this stage, and then you can sit back, relax, and enjoy them.” My mother listened and said nothing.‎ ‎ When I was in my forties, I spent a lifetime waiting for the phone to ring, the cars to come home and the front door to open.‎ ‎ My friends said that when my kids got married I could stop worrying and lead my own life. I wanted to believe that, but I couldn’t forget my mother’s faint smile and her occasional （偶尔的）“You look pale. Are you all right? Call me the minute you get home.”‎ ‎ Can it be that parents are sentenced(判决) to lifetime of worry? Is concern(挂念，忧虑)for one another handed down like a torch(火炬)? Or is it a good quality that raises us to the highest form of life?‎ ‎ One of my children became quite impatient recently, saying to me, “ Where were you? I have been calling for three days, and no one answered. I was worried!”‎ ‎ I smiled a faint smile.‎ ‎5.The author’s mother just smiled and said nothing because____.‎ A. she didn’t care about the author’s son ‎ B. she was not worried about the author C.she knew what had happened and what would happen D.she tried to give the author some help ‎6..

What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Mother’s love B. Endless concern ‎ C.A faint smile D. Parents and children ‎ C.‎ ‎ Is technology making us unhealthy? Are computers affecting our health? Many people think they have affected us because we spend more time playing on computers, watching TV and using our mobile phones to talk, text and playing games.‎ ‎ Our bodies: Levels（水平） of obesity(肥胖) are rising and are especially worrying among young children but this isn’t just a problem about what we eat. Many people especially teenagers, like sitting in front of TV sets or computers for hours, just watching or playing games. As a result, they do less exercise.‎ ‎ Our brains: Research into the effects on the human brain of playing computer games is ongoing. Recent studies have looked at the impact(影响) on beta brainwave activity, which is important for emotional（情感的） development, planning and self-control. Though we haven’t evidence（证据） to show how it affects us, researchers think that tiredness may affect the levels of beta brainwave activity, and sitting in front of a TV set or computer for a long time easily causes one to feel tired. So parents who don’t want to spoil（破坏） their children’s fun could control the time they spend on the computer.‎ ‎ Communications: As leading computer game consumers, are we spending too much time in front of computers? Does it mean that we spend less time communicating with other people? What effect does this have on our lives?‎ ‎ It certainly seems that children today are spending more time indoors than their parents did when they were little children used to regular play in the streets or in parks. Today, empty parks clearly show how “ play time” has changed because of advances in affordable technology like home computers.‎ ‎9. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?‎ A. we can only use computers to play games B.teenagers today take less exercise than their parents C.research has shown playing computer games affects our brains less.‎ D.parents should not keep their children away from computers for their health.‎ ‎10. The writer use the example of “empty parks” to show ____.‎ A. the parks today are not so attractive for people as before B.how computers have taken the place of parks C.technology has affected the children’s “play time”‎ D.children today spend more time in the streets instead of in the parks ‎11.What can we infer from the passage?‎ A. Obesity has nothing to do with what we eat B. parents mustn’t allow their children to play computer games for their health C. we should keep away from computers to keep health D. parents should limit the time their children spend on computers ‎12. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. the various reasons why some teenagers become very fat B. technology is harmful to young people C.the effects of technology on young people D. parents should encourage children to do more exercise to keep healthy ‎ D Birds have been observed to sleep while in flight for the first time ever. Because of some flights that can often last several days, weeks, or even longer, some sea birds have long been thought of being able to fall fully asleep while “on the wing”, though it was not proven.‎ ‎ Now researchers say they have evidence which shows birds can sleep in flight. Scientists from Max Planck Institute used a sample of 15 adult female frigatebirds (军舰鸟) to test the sleep patterns. Each bird had a small electroencephalogram (EEG脑电图) sensor fitted to record changes in the animals’ brain activity as they flew for up to 10 days and over 3,000 kilometres.‎ ‎ The readings showed that during flight the birds could sleep using one hemisphere of the brain, or both together. It was known that frigatebirds could sleep with one “half” of the brain, which allows them to keep one eye open and “connected” to the awake half.‎ ‎ According to the research, it is sleeping technique used by birds for finding directions. “Frigatebirds sleep mostly while circling in rising air and keep the eye connected to the awake hemisphere facing the direction of flight, suggesting that they watch where they are going,” says the study.‎ ‎ Despite the ability to fall “fully” asleep, the birds were found to do it less in the air compared to one land. They slept “very little and less deeply while in flight. This suggests that though it is possible, falling totally asleep is not very good during flight which will need the bird’s attention.‎ ‎ The researchers said the short sleep could be serving as “power naps” to keep the birds going until they return to land. Further study could help us understand why lack of sleep affects humans so badly.‎ ‎13. The phrase “on the wing” in the first paragraph may mean __________.‎ A. sleeping. B. fighting. C. flying. D. thinking.‎ ‎14. Why did the researchers fit the frigatebirds with EEG sensors?‎ A. To know animals’ brain activity. B. To get some of the good samples.‎ C. To help the birds fly much longer. D. To use the birds to find directions.‎ ‎15. How do the sleeping birds find the directions?‎ A. They keep one eye connected to the awake part.‎ B. They sleep less when they are circling in rising air.‎ C. They pay special attention to the way.‎ D. They have a good sleep before they start flying.‎ ‎16. What is the best title of the text?‎ ‎ A. A Study on Birds in Flight B. Birds Can Sleep in Flight C. Flying Birds’ Brain Activity D. Sleep With Half of the Brain viruses.‎ 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7个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。‎ With the summer holiday just around the corner, it seems like everybody is busy planning their vacations.
