I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.‎ My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.‎ I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.‎ I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.‎ ‎24. Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule?‎ A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated.‎ B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.‎ C. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.‎ D. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.‎ ‎25. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ______.‎ A. meet her father who was already an old man B. keep her appointment with the eye doctor C. join in the holiday celebration of the company D. finish her work before the deadline approached ‎26. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. The Two Saddest Words. B. The Emotional Well-being.‎ C. The Most Useful Rule. D. The Peace of Mind.‎ C Cold weather during winter months may keep many people from leaving home and running in the open air.‎ However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance.‎ Many people say running in the winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather.‎ That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate and the body’s dehydration (脱水) levels are lower ‎ than in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.‎ This information comes from sports scientists at St. Mary’s University in London. John Brewer is a professor of applied sport science at St. Mary’s.‎ For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an “environmental chamber.” The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions. Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners.‎ ‎“We’ve got a group of subjects into the environmental chamber, we’ve changed the conditions to replicate the summer or winter and we’ve got them to run a 10km under both of those conditions and taken various measurements on each runner while they’ve been completing their 10km.”‎ Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way in which we lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through droplets of sweat. He says the body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin.‎ ‎27. What can we know about running in winter?‎ A. It increases pressure of the body. B. It improves the function of body.‎ C. It makes your heart rate higher. D. It needs more water than in summer.‎ ‎28. What can we know about the research according to the text?‎ A. Researchers interviewed the subjects ‎ B. Subjects were asked to run in winter and summer.‎ C. Subjects built the “environmental chamber”. ‎ D. Biological measurements of the runners were recorded.‎ ‎29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “replicate” in Paragraph7?‎ A. Combine. B. Remember. C. Copy. D. Decorate.‎ ‎30. What’s the best title for the passage? ‎ A. Environmental Chamber ‎ B. The Way of Losing Heat C. Running in Cold Weather Improves Performance ‎ D. Biological Measurements of the Runners 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。‎ ‎ Personally, I believe that the female brain is mainly built for empathy—the ability to understand other people—and that the male(男性) brain is mainly built for building systems. _____31_____For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines featuring computers and sports.‎ ‎    You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave as they grow up. However, this is not the case. A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and that newborn boys look longer at a mobile. ___32___It has also been observed that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other people’s feelings, and that boys seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys having clear functions. ___33___‎ ‎    People whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost males. Math and engineering, which require high levels of systems-thinking, are also the disciplines men choose. Why do men and women have the differences? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons as men that connect the right and left parts of the brain. Because of it, women have a better ability to multitask than men. ____34____‎ ‎    Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another.‎ ‎    Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender(性别) is better than the other, but this is not the case. My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, and that both genders have their own strengths and weaknesses. ___35____It is not true. The study simply thinks of males and females as two groups, and explores what differences exist.‎ A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.‎ B. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adults' workplace.‎ C. Their preference for building systems may change over time.‎ D. They can consider many sources of information at the same time.‎ E. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.‎ F. That suggests certain differences between male brains and female brains are biological.‎ G. Others may think the theory creates a belief about what a particular type of person is like.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 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。‎ Draper, the owner of a secondhand bookstore, was sorting through a pile of old books when an envelope fell from one.
