And so can older people, much older. Meet 70-year-old Jerry Reid, who just graduated from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He earned a bachelor’s degree. ‎ Mr. Reid might not look like the average college student; his hair is definitely grayer. But still Jerry Reid’s age is easy to forget, other UVA students know him as one of their own. ‎ Mr. Reid sat into the “Hoo Crew,” a group that cheers loudly for the school at sports events. He also joined a men's group on campus. He sang drinking songs along with many other students. Mr. Reid’s school friends say they can talk to him just about anything. ‎ About a half century ago, in his 20s, Mr. Reid was not in school. Instead, he was racing cars and chasing girls. But he says his friend Bill invited him to UVA parties.‎ ‎“Bill told me what a terrible life I had unless I came up here and went to school with him,” said Reid.‎ That was in 1963. Jerry Reid says it took him 48 years to take that advice. In 2011, he entered college. UVA Professor Luke Wright says Mr. Reid influences students. He opened the minds of the young adults. The teacher says Mr. Reid showed them that life does not end at 40. Instead, the 70-year-old college graduate believes that getting older can be the beginning of a dream. ‎ ‎“Remember that path that you left waits for you. It’s there. It’s yours. All you must do is to get out of your own way and get back to it. And, that's exactly what I did,” said Reid.‎ Mr. Reid says that he and his wife Susan now would take some time off to enjoy his college degree. Then, he’ll return to UVA to begin studying for his graduate degree. ‎ ‎25. Which of the following is true of Mr. Reid?‎ A. He was laughed at by other students. B. He was interested in study in his youth.‎ C. He enlarged the views of young peopleD. He got his graduate degree at the age of 70.‎ ‎26. From the third paragraph, we can infer that Mr. Reid was _________.‎ ‎ A. considerate B. independent C. intelligent D. energetic ‎27. What does Paragraph 6 mainly discuss?‎ A. How Mr. Reid realizes his dream. B. What teachers think of Mr. Reid.‎ C. When Mr. Reid entered college. D. Why the students likes Mr. Reid.‎ ‎28. What lesson can we learn from the story of Jerry Reid?‎ A. It is never too late to learn. B. Two heads are better than one. ‎ C. Actions speak louder than words. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.‎ C Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag.‎ Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts (收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are ‎ hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.‎ Among the bag makers’ arguments, many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.‎ The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.‎ Environmentalists don’t dispute (质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.‎ ‎29. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?‎ A. Help increase grocery sales. B. Recycle the waste material.‎ C. Stop things falling off trucks. D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.‎ ‎30. What does the word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. Bans on plastic bags. B. Effects of city development.‎ C. Headaches caused by garbage. D. Plastic bags hung in trees.‎ ‎31.What is the disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag maker?‎ A. They are quite expensive B. Replacing them can be difficult C. They are less strong than plastic bags D. Producing them requires more energy ‎32. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Plastic, Paper or Neither B. Industry, Pollution and Environment C. Recycle or Throw Away D. Garbage Collection and Waste Control D Almost every child is scared of something, from monsters in the cupboard to dogs ‎ in the park. But the fact that such fears are common and normal doesn’t mean they can be taken lightly. Kids experience fears and phobias (恐惧症） much more strongly than adults. And the influence of the fear can be physical as well as psychological (心理的）. It can build up so they almost seem scared of everything-a kind of childhood anxiety. Dr. Creswell says: “Your child may always seem to expect the worst to happen and lack confidence as they grow up.” So don’t make the same old mistake of treating them as if they’re silly for being a “scared cat”. Handling the fears is essential.‎ Children can be born nervous and if you have such a baby, you’ll tend to prevent them from getting worried. So if they fear dogs, You’ll keep them away from dogs, but in fact that can just confirm to the child that dogs are scary. What is worse, keeping your child away from what they fear can turn that feeling into a phobia. Instead, you should encourage them to get in touch with the thing they fear, in a safe and supportive environment. Dr. Andy Field, a researcher of childhood fears, says: “You shouldn’t force, for example, an anxious child to go up to a dog. But you can approach it yourself, show them there is nothing to be afraid of, stroke (抚摸） it, and talk about the dog being friendly. Once your child dares to stroke a dog-one that’s good with children, of course-then you should encourage them to carry on until they feel calmer, and reward them for‘being brave’.”‎ ‎33.Children’s fears are usually taken lightly because   .‎ A. they will not develop into phobias B. their influence is psychological C. they exist widely in the world D. they will disappear gradually ‎34.If we fail to help children to overcome fears, they will .‎ A. make the same old mistake B. overcome them by themselves ‎ C. experience the worst of things D. grow up lacking self-confidence ‎ ‎35.According to Dr. Andy Field, if a child is afraid of a cat, parents should   .‎ A. tell the child not to be afraid of it B. show the child it’s safe to approach it C. keep the child away from it D. ask the child to stroke it 第二节 七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ Flash Mob: The Pop Culture ‎ If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don’t need to feel surprised. They are a flash mob. Who are they? Are they mobs (暴民)? _ 36_ Actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly separate.‎ A flash mob is usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks. _37_ At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some tasks such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their lungs for 30 seconds. Then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive.‎ Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper’s Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003 at Macy’s department store. More than one hundred people stepped onto the ninth floor carpet department of Macy’s department store, gathering around an expensive carpet. Following this flash mob, about 200 people flooded the lounge of the Hyatt hotel and applauded for about fifteen seconds. _38__‎ Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing, but it might also frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. _39 _They also have enormous economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.‎ ‎_40_ People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. Hundreds of his fans gathered outside the railway station in Liverpool. They were singing and dancing Michael’s famous song “Beat It” together. And in another example, some people took part in a flash mob to tell more people not to use negative words.‎ Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.‎ A. Don’t be confused by their name.‎ B. People are attracted by the silly and harmless activities.‎ C. The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular.‎ D. Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change their gathering place.‎ E. A later mob saw hundreds of people in Central Park making bird noises.‎ F. The messages may be forwarded to friends, who forward to more people.‎ G. Undoubtedly, flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节 完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ About two years ago, I was at a stop sign when I heard whimpering(微弱的叫声)coming from inside a car parked on the street next to me.
