Being poor is a terrible feeling when your 3-year-old finishes his meal and says: “Can I have some more bread and jam please, Mummy?” And you break down in tears, because you don’t know how to tell him that there is no more food. With ￡6, I went to the supermarket, picked up some food and started to cook at home. It was time for me to make a change and get back on my feet. I began to write a series of articles for the website named Hunger Hurt in July 2011.‎ A few months later, local food bank gave me some help-- with some free vegetables every month, which made my life a little easier. I began to write recipes， posting them on my blog. To my surprise, families, students and those poor people told me how much it helped to see healthy recipes made from affordable supermarket vegetables.‎ My Life took unexpected turns. I was invited to give a speech on food , interviewed for an Oxfam report on food banks and asked to write a cookery book.‎ When I got the money from the book, for the first night in almost two years, I went to bed without worrying. Now, I have a well-paid job and a beautiful home, and I’ll never forget the days when I worked hard for a good life.‎ ‎21.The writer started to cook because _______.‎ A．the food at the supermarket was unhealthy B．she was advised to do so by someone C．she had to feed themselves in a cheap way ‎ D．her son preferred home-cooked food ‎22.According to the text, the food bank _______.‎ A．helps sell the food in supermarkets B．brings people together who care about food waste C．gives out food to those people who are in need ‎ D．write healthy recipes to food lovers around the world ‎23. The writer’s first post of recipes _______.‎ A．attracted only housewives B．was given little notice C．moved the readers D．drew much attention ‎24.Which could be the best title?‎ A．Success lies in your own hands B．A lesson hard life teaches me C．A mother’s dream job D．what a loving mother B I’m a speed reader. Have been since I was a teen. Mother worked for the continuing education department of a university, and they were offering a class on speed reading and needed one more person to fill out the class. I became that one person.‎ The class met for only an hour or two for a few weeks, but when the goal of a class is speed, you don’t need to meet for long. The instructor said to make our eyes go across the lines of words as fast as they could and not to be concerned about what the words meant. I read Animal Farm in 10 ten minutes. Cover to cover. The instructor asked what the book was about. I said I didn’t know, but if I had to guess I’d say it was about animals on a farm. He looked displeased.‎ I’ve been speed reading ever since. I can’t stop and I can’t slow down. Today, for example, I plan on reading Churchill’s History of the English Speaking Peoples over lunch. I hope it’s more memorable than Animal Farm.‎ As a result of all this speed-reading, I often experience a delay between what I think I read and what something actually says.‎ The other day I passed by a mall with a large sign that said “Auto Theft Sale”. I thought how efficient it was for auto thieves to simply sell all the stole cars in a big tent at the mall. A half-mile later it dawned on me that the sign had said “Auto Tent Sale”.‎ Every time I drive through a construction zone, I gasp (屏气). The sign says: “Hit a Worker $10, 000 (about 62,000 yuan).” It reads like they’re offering a reward. Of course, it’s not an offer. It’s just that my eyes rarely take in the last line that says, “Fine.” It’s a $10, 000 fine if you hit a worker. Someone really needs to rephrase that one.‎ Speed reading has bitten me on the backside more than once. Especially as a writer. Just ask any of my editors.‎ ‎25. Why was the author able to attend classes on speed reading?‎ ‎　 A. She took a chance and filled one vacancy (空缺).‎ ‎　 B. She was the only teenager applicant for the class.‎ ‎　 C. She’d already practiced speed reading before.‎ ‎　 D. Her mother found her gifted in speed reading.‎ ‎26. What left the instructor unsatisfied in the class?‎ ‎　 A. It took the author ten minutes to complete Animal Farm.‎ B. The class was only an hour or two for a few weeks.‎ C. The author read fast but didn’t get the main idea of the book.‎ D. All the class actually failed to follow his advice.‎ ‎27. The author tends to prove that there is always a delay in her understanding after speed reading by ________.‎ A. making comparisons B. analyzing cause and effect C. drawing a conclusion D. giving examples ‎ ‎28. Which of the following best describes the author?‎ A. Talented and productive. B. Truthful and humorous.‎ C. Careless and quick-tempered. D. Proud and hot-headed.‎ C ‎ Some of the best research on daily experience is rooted in rates of positive and negative interactions, which has proved that being blindly positive or negative can cause others to be frustrated or annoyed or even to tune out.‎ Over the last two decades, scientists have made remarkable predictions simply by watching people interact with one another and then scoring the conversations based on the rate of positive and negative interactions. Researchers have used the findings to predict everything from the likelihood that a couple will divorce to the chances of a work team with high customer satisfaction and productivity levels.‎ More recent research helps explain why these brief exchanges matter so much. When you experience negative emotions as a result of criticism or rejection, for example, your body produces higher levels of the stress hormone, which shuts down much of your thinking and activates conflict and defense mechanisms (机制). You suppose that situations are worse than they actually are.‎ When you experience a positive interaction, it activates a very different response. Positive exchanges increase your body’s production of oxytocin (后叶催产素), a feel-good that increases your ability to communicate with, cooperate with and trust others. But the effects of a positive occurrence are less dramatic and lasting than they are for a negative one.‎ We need at least three to five positive interactions to outweigh every one negative exchange. Bad moments simply outweigh good ones. Whether you’re having a conversation, keep this simple short cut in mind: At least 80 percent of your conversations should be focused on what’s going right.‎ Workplaces, for example, often see this. During performance reviews, managers routinely spend 80 percent of their time on weaknesses and “areas for improvement”. They spend roughly 20 percent of the time on strengths and positive aspects. Any time you have discussions with a person or group, spend the vast majority of the time talking about what is working, and use the remaining time to address weaknesses.‎ ‎29. The underlined phrase “tune out” in Paragraph 1 probably means .‎ A. gain courage B. stop listening C. sing aloud D. feel stressed ‎30. What will happen if you experience negative emotions?‎ A. Much of your thinking will be prevented. ‎ B. The situations are sure to become worse.‎ C. You will feel an urge to improve and become better.‎ D. You’ll be motivated to resolve conflicts with people.‎ ‎31. From Paragraph 4, we can learn that .‎ A. we need a positive feeling to beat one negative feeling B. the effect of negative feelings lasts longer than that of positive ones ‎ C. our conversation should center on what needs improvement D. positive interactions have greater effects than negative ones ‎32. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. Harmful Negatives. B. Less Time on Strengths and Positive Aspects.‎ C. How to Be a Productive Manager. D. More Positive Interactions.‎ D Cheating is nothing new. But it’s becoming a lot more sophisticated. Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin was caught out once. A photo taken after the speech she’d given on a “return to conservative principles” showed her left hand covered with crib notes. These included the words “energy, budget cuts, tax” and “lift Americans’ spirits”. The word “budget” had been crossed out. Video footage also showed her reading from her hand when asked what top three things a conservative-led congress should do. Writing notes on your hand is one way to cheat in an exam. But these days, it’s a lot easier ... especially with the Internet. ‎ Anyone who wants to cheat in an exam can probably find the answers online. There are hundreds of sites offering solutions to all sorts of tests. And it’s a lucrative business. One operator in Oregon made $‎700,000 in about nine months before his arrest. The owner of a website in Ohio pocketed more than $300,000. And a famous overseas site is estimated to sell about 146,000 sets of answers and take in about $10 million per year. Actually, getting hold of the exam answers isn’t that hard. Some do the exam themselves and use button cameras or document-scanning pens to copy the tests. Others organize for a group to take tests repeatedly until they can memorize the entire exam between them. Others simply bribe exam administrators. ‎ At the moment, such business is booming. More and more companies now require their employees to take professional exams. And hundreds of businesses and trade organizations have introduced formal certification programs to measure employee skills. In the US alone, at least 2 million exams are taken every year for information technology certification. But employees also have to take exams for all sorts of professions from crane operators to court reporters to school bus drivers and financial planners. Test officials estimate that hundreds of thousands of test-takers have used the Internet to buy answers for professional tests. And a recent survey found that 28 percent of test centres had at least one cheating incident over the last five years. In one incident, tens of thousands of soldiers obtained answers to tests in a range of military skills. ‎ Many see this as a cause for concern. Many tests are for work in sensitive areas such as defence installations and hospitals. Now, how would you feel if you knew that the people in charge of the computers controlling nuclear weapons might have cheated in their tests, and may not really know what they’re doing? ‎ ‎33. Why does the author mention Sarah Palin in the first paragraph? ‎ A. To show much disagreement as to cheating among political leaders.‎ B. To discourage average people from writing notes on their hands.‎ C. To exhibit the fact that cheating is common in various fields.‎ ‎ D. To introduce the negative influences of cheating in front of the public.‎ ‎34. The underlined word “lucrative” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.‎ A. . profitable B. stable C. ripe D. fresh ‎35. What is the main cause of more cases of cheating?‎ ‎ A. The formation of employee skills. ‎ B. The requirement of taking professional exams.‎ ‎ C. The popularity of the cheating industry. ‎ D. The availability of information technology.‎ 第二节 七选五 (共5题, 每小题2分,满分10分)‎ The Art of Slow ‎Reading If you are reading this article in print, chances are that you will only get through half of what I have written. And if you are reading this online, you may not even finish a fifth. ___36__ They suggest that many of us no longer have the concentration to read articles through to their conclusion.‎ So are we getting stupider? Actually, our online habits are damaging the mental power we need to process and understand textual information. Round-the-clock news makes us read from one article to the next without necessarily engaging fully with any of the content. Our reading is frequently stopped by the noise of the latest email and we are now absorbing short bursts of words on Twitter and Facebook more regularly than longer texts. ___37___ But we are gradually forgetting how to sit back, think carefully, and relate all the facts to each other.‎ ‎___38___ A desperate bunch of academics want us to take our time while reading, and re-reading. They ask us to switch off our computers every so often and rediscover both the joy of personal engagement with printed texts, and the ability to process them fully. What’s to be done then? Most slow readers realize that total rejection of the web is extremely unrealistic. They feel that getaway from technology for a while is the answer. ___39___‎ Personally, I’m not sure whether I could ever go offline for long. Even while writing this article, I am switching constantly between sites, skimming too often, absorbing too little. Internet reading has become too rooted in my daily life for me to change. I read essays and articles not in hard copy but as PDFs. I suspect that many readers are in a similar position.___40___ You can download a computer application called Freedom, which allows you to read in peace by cutting off your Internet connection. Or if you want to avoid being disturbed by the Internet, you could always download offline reader Instapaper for your iPhone. If you’re still reading my article, that is slow reading.‎ A. The Internet is probably part of the problem.‎ B. Now some campaigns are advocating slow reading.‎ C. But if you just occasionally want to read more slowly, help is at hand.‎ D. These are the two findings from the recent research projects.‎ E. Because of the Internet, we have become very good at collecting information.‎ F. Slow reading can help connect a reader to neighborhood and become popular.‎ G. Some of them have suggested turning their computers off for one day a week.‎ 第三部分  完形填空（共20小题：每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、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。‎ I was living in Sao Paulo Brazil.
