As_37_as I could,I sat beside her and talked to her about the baby moving inside me.‎ On February 3,2013,at about the same time my labor（分娩）_38_,mother opened her eyes.When they told me this at the_39_,I called her home, “Mom,listen!The baby is coming!You're going to have a new grandchild!”‎ ‎“Yes!Yes!I know!”‎ Four beautiful words!The first clear words she'd spoken in mouths!‎ When I_40_again an hour later,the nurse at her house told the_41_message: Mom sat up,smiling,with her oxygen tubes removed.When I brought Jacob home,Mom was sitting in her chair and_42_to welcome him.Tears of joy blocked my eyes as I_43_my son in her arms and she ‎ clucked（发出咯咯声）at him.They knew each other at that time. ‎ Then she was quietly into a coma（昏迷）and_44_peacefully.Memories of my son's birth will always be_45_for me,but it was then that I learned love has the power to overcome any worries and any sorrow.And love can last forever.‎ ‎31.A.attending B.losing C.defending D.defeating ‎32.A.courageous B.interesting C.funny D.lucky ‎33.A.tired B.blind C.disabled D.depressed ‎34.A sorrow B.love C.baby D.body ‎35.A.coming B.disappearing C.falling D.unexpecting ‎36.A.admit B.hold C.drop D.permit ‎37.A.soon B.fast C.early D.often ‎38.A.started B.failed C.ended D.continued ‎39.A.office B.hospital C.house D.station ‎40.A.got up B.woke up C.called up D.looked up ‎41.A.impossible B.possible C.necessary D.terrible ‎42.A.likely B.ready C.free D.nervous ‎ ‎43.A.hugged B.threw C.took D.laid ‎44.A.passed away B.turned over C.settled down D.gave out ‎45.A.proud B.frightening C.bittersweet D.exciting 第三部分 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）‎ A Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060.Let's make believe（假装；虚构）it is about sixty years from now.Of course,things have changed and life is very different.‎ Voyages to the moon are being made every day.It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe.As a number of scenic spots on the moon,many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned,naturally.In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon,every room has at least one picture window.Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old.‎ What are people eating now?People are still eating food.They haven't yet started to take on heir（继承）supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power.They may some day.But many foods now come in pill form,and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.‎ Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago,most of our planet's surface has to be filled.The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests.The harvest is always good.‎ Farming,of course,is very highly developed.Very few people have to work on the farm.It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.‎ People are now largely vegetarians（素食者）.You see,as the number of people increases,the number of animals decreases.Therefore,the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds.We know the causes and cure of disease and pain,so it is possible to get rid of diseases.No one has to be ill any more.‎ Such would be our life in 2060.‎ ‎40.When was the passage written?‎ A.In about A.D. 2060.

B.Interested. C.Tired. D.Nervous.‎ ‎53.We know from paragraph 3 that Jay______.‎ A.didn't live in China for long B.didn't use body language well C.was funny in his students' eyes D.often talked about his class after class ‎54.What did Jay do when his students asked him questions?‎ A.He often replied in Chinese. B.He tried his best to answer them.‎ C.He answered them in a few words. D.He often didn’t answer them at once.‎ ‎55.The text is meant to______.‎ A.tell how to be a good teacher B.give some tips on English learning C.show thanks to the author's teacher D.tell about a teacher the author once had C Are some people born clever,and others born stupid?Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience?Strangely enough,the answer to these questions is yes.To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth,and no education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence.On the other hand,a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person's intelligence are fixed at birth.Whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment.This view,now held by most experts,can be supported in a number of ways.‎ It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with.The closer the blood relationship between two people,the closer they are likely to be intelligent.Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population,it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different.If,on the other hand, we take two identical twins,they will very likely to be as intelligent as each other.Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children,usually have similar intelligence,and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.‎ Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments.We ‎ might send one,for example,to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring.We would soon find differences in intelligence developing,and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part.This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other,but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.‎ ‎56.The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him______.‎ A.at birth B.through education C.both at birth and through education D.neither at birth nor through education ‎57.If a child is born with low intelligence,he can______.‎ A.become a genius ‎ B.still become a genius if he should be given special education C.reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundings ‎ D.not improve his intelligence in his life ‎ ‎58.In the second paragraph,the underlined sentence means “if we______.”‎ A.pick any two persons B.take out two different persons C.choose two persons who are relative D.choose two persons with different intelligence ‎59.The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows______.‎ A.the importance of their intelligence B.the role of environment on intelligence C.the importance of their positions D.the part that birth plays ‎60.The best title of the passage can be______.‎ A.Surroundings B.Intelligence C.Dependence on Environment D.Effect of Education 第Ⅱ卷（共45分）‎ 第四部分 写作（共三节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分,满分10分）‎ ‎61.It is annoying that Tom's parents always c Tom with his other classmates.‎ ‎62.It is not a good method to （批评）your students whenever they make a mistake in their ‎ oral English.‎ ‎63.What the teacher said to him had a deep e on his later behaviour.‎ ‎64.It is a （传统的）way eating dumplings to spend our Spring Festival.‎ ‎65.The girl's nice p have gamed her good relationship with her partners.‎ ‎66.You'd better not （打扰）the sleeping old professor.‎ ‎67.Her gentle sweet song makes the audience r .‎ ‎68.The small house looks more beautiful with the （背景）of blue sky and white cloud.‎ ‎69.It is said that many official leaders are i in the case of economic crime.‎ ‎70.The little baby （假装）to be sleeping when its parents woke him up.‎ 第二节 阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）‎ The 82-year-old Frances Wood entered the Nazarene University two years ago.At that time,her husband of 59 years died,which left her a little lonely and sad.As a result,she started to study at university.‎ Ms Wood said that she was the oldest student on campus,and was known as "Granny Franny".The lady is just like a grandma away from home.The students wanted to vote Ms Wood as the homecoming queen,but the granny refused to accept the honor.So instead,the school honored her during half time at a football game by making her become the homecoming granny queen,the first award of its kindness ever given by the school.Ms Wood got a standing ovation（鼓掌）and was presented with flowers.To prove her popularity further,she had three male youths holding on her arm for the evening ceremony.‎ Ms Wood took classes in finance,history and literature at university.She said after being widowed two years before,she needed something different to do.When she got to college,she said it was a little surreal being surrounded by the young ones."I think this is unbelievable and dreamlike to do this,"she said.‎ Eager to get into her little classmate circle,she handed out homemade business cards with her phone number and e-mail address,so that the students could reach out to her.The cards also featured a photo of her,saying "about 10 years ago".‎ ‎71.What subjects did Ms Wood take up at university?
