Sometimes the best life lessons are found deep in the roots of where we came from. My father passed away years ago, but I always remember the lessons he taught me. Three of them particularly shape my perspective day after day.‎ The first one is that little things make big things happen. To the best of my memory, when I was young, we needed to build a new shed. Those were the days when stores like Home Depot and Lowes didn’t exist. Brand-new timber (木料) was expensive, so folks often reused the materials that others in the community didn’t need. That summer, Dad and I used the boards from an old abandoned barn. We pulled them down one by one, drew the nails out and took off the tin and straightened it in order to reuse it. We got our supplies back to our yard and got to work. I don’t know how much of a help I really was, but I chose to stay beside Dad the entire period, working along with him.‎ The sun was hot that day, and sweat formed and ran down our faces. I stood there and handed him the nails one by one, which were hammered into that shed. Dad made me feel proud of my work. Even though I just handed him the nails, he repeatedly emphasized how we built the new shed “together”. He taught me that when you’re willing to do hard work, even in little things, big things come together.‎ The second one is that we should honor our promises. As a young man, my father always carried a pocket-sized Bible in his chest pocket. Shortly before the invasion of Normandy in 1944, he prayed for God’s protection and promised God that if he made it home, he would make sure his family attended church every Sunday. Well, he made it home and he kept that promise. I cannot remember a Sunday when Dad did not take my mother, my siblings and me to church — even when we were away on vacation. I now have my Dad’s pocket Bible. It is one of my most treasured possessions, and it serves as a constant reminder of my dad’s service to his country. However, it also serves as a visual representation of my dad’s firm determination to keep his promises.‎ Today, I place great value on my family and my faith, undoubtedly because of my dad’s example. This lesson of promise has been introduced into all areas of my life.‎ The third one is that listening is a way to acquire wisdom. My dad and I kept ourselves busy doing a lot of things together. During the nights of late summer, after dinner, the whole family would gather on our small porch to talk as the sun went down. Sometimes an aunt or uncle would drop by, and at other times my grandparents would be there. They would talk about the neighborhood news, the goings-on in modern Western society and politics — mostly ordinary things, but it was good to sit there listening and to be together. Moreover, sitting there on the ‎ porch as dusk faded into night, I learned the value of listening and observing. Sometimes taking a moment to pause gives us the best perspective and sometimes we find the best answers simply by listening.‎ Life in America becomes more complex. However, I like to think back to the simple lessons I learned from my father. They were the building blocks of my character and the values that still guide me today. Perhaps someone who has influence on your life taught you life lessons that helped form your character. I’m convinced that our nation could gain a lot by applying these lessons today. If we did, I think we would be reminded that the reason why our nation has become great is not merely that we have had wise leaders or well-spoken elected officials. Our nation has become great because of those ordinary Americans like my father, who have pride in their work, place great value on honesty, character and commitments, and pass those lessons on to their children and grandchildren. And that is the reason why we are still great today.‎ ‎21.While building the new shed with his father, the author        .‎ A. managed to get in touch with some folks                              B. realized how hard his father worked C. tried his best to help his father                                               D. was curious about everything ‎22.Why does the author keep his father’s pocket Bible?‎ A. He has great faith in religion.                                    B. He takes it to church every Sunday.‎ C. It reminds him to keep his promises.                D. It reminds him of his father’s survival in the match.‎ ‎23.What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?‎ A. The importance of keeping family values.               B. The factors making a country rich and strong.              ‎ C. The happy time he spent with his father.               D. Three lessons he learned from his father.‎ ‎24.It can be inferred from the passage that        .‎ A. wise leaders determine a country’s status B. ordinary people have an effect on a country’s future C. the author’s father was greater than anyone else in his heart D. the author dislikes the well-spoken officials B Every immigrant leads a double life. Every immigrant has a double identity and a double vision, being suspended between an old and a new home, an old and new self. The very notion of a new home, of course, is in a sense as impossible as the notion of new parents. Parents are who they are; home is what it is.‎ Yet home, like parentage, must be legitimized(合理) through love; otherwise, it is only a fact of geography or biology. Most immigrants to America found their love of their old homes betrayed: they did not really abandon their countries; their countries abandoned them. In America, they found the possibility of a new love, the chance to nurture new selves.‎ Not uniformly, not without exceptions. Every generation has its Know-Nothing movement. Its understandable fear and hatred of alien invasion is as true today as it always was, but in spite of all this, the American attitude remains unique. Throughout history, exile has been a disaster; America turned it into a triumph and placed its immigrants in the center of a national epic.‎ The epic is possible because America is an idea as much as it is a country. America has nothing to do with loyalty to a dynasty and very little to do with loyalty to particular place, but everything to do with loyalty to a set of principles. To immigrants, those principles are especially real because so often they were absent or violated in their native lands. It was no accident in the ’60 and ‘70s, when alienation was in flower, that it often seemed to be “native” Americans who felt alienated, while aliens or the children of aliens upheld the native values. The immigrant’s double vision results in a special, somewhat skewed perspective on America that can mislead but that can also find revelation in the things that to native Americans are obvious. Psychiatrist Robert Coles speaks of those “who straddle worlds and make of that very experience a new world.”‎ ‎“Home is where you are happy.” Sentimental, perhaps, and certainly not conventionally patriotic, but is appropriate for a country that wrote the pursuit of happiness into its founding document. That continues for the immigrant in America, and it never stops, but it comes to rest at a certain moment. The moment is hard to pin down, but it occurs perhaps when the immigrant’s double life and double vision joint together toward a single state of mind. When the old life, the old home fade into a certain unreality: places one merely visits, in fact or in the mind, practicing ‎ the tourism of memory. It occurs when the immigrant learns his ultimate lesson: above all countries, America, if loved, returns love.‎ ‎25. How can we understand the underlined sentence in Para1?‎ A. Parents have nothing to do with home. B. Home is irreplaceable just like parents.‎ C. New home can somewhat represent parents. D. Parents and home are essentially different.‎ ‎26. What’s the result of American’s unique attitude toward immigrants?‎ A. Immigrants have played an important role in America’s history.‎ B. Immigrants have endured more sufferings than those in other countries.‎ C. Immigrants have been a disaster to America’s development.‎ D. Immigrants have posed fear and hatred on America.‎ ‎27. What does the underlined word “That” in Para5 refer to?‎ A. Traditional patriotism           B. Immigrants’ double life and vision C. The pursuit of happiness.        D. Returned love from ‎America C ‎ Exercise seems to be good for the human brain，with many recent studies suggesting that regular exercise improves memory and thinking skills．But an interesting new study asks whether the apparent cognitive benefits from exercise are real or just a placebo effect — that is，if we think we will be “smarter” after exercise，do our brains respond accordingly？The answer has significant implications for any of us hoping to use exercise to keep our minds sharp throughout our lives．‎ While many studies suggest that exercise may have cognitive benefits，recently some scientists have begun to question whether the apparently beneficial effects of exercise on thinking might be a placebo effect．So researchers at Florida State University in Tallahassee and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign decided to focus on expectations，on what people anticipate that exercise will do for thinking．If people’s expectations jibe (吻合) closely with the actual benefits，‎ then at least some of those improvements are probably a result of the placebo effect and not of exercise．‎ For the new study，which was published last month in PLOS One，the researchers recruited 171 people through an online survey system，they asked half of these volunteers to estimate by how much a stretching and toning regimens (拉伸运动) performed three times a week might improve various measures of thinking．The other volunteers were asked the same questions，but about a regular walking program．‎ In actual experiments，stretching and toning program generally have little if any impact on people’s cognitive skills．Walking，on the other hand，seems to substantially improve thinking ability．‎ But the survey respondents believed the opposite，estimating that the stretching and toning program would be more beneficial for the mind than walking．The estimates of benefits from walking were lower．‎ These data，while they do not involve any actual exercise，are good news for people who do exercise．“The results from our study suggest that the benefits of aerobic exercise are not a placebo effect,” said Cary Stothart，a graduate student in cognitive psychology at Florida State University，who led the study．‎ If expectations had been driving the improvements in cognition seen in studies after exercise，Mr．Stothart said，then people should have expected walking to be more beneficial for thinking than stretching．They didn’t，implying that the changes in the brain and thinking after exercise are physiologically genuine．‎ The findings are strong enough to suggest that exercise really does change the brain and may，in the process，improve thinking，Mr．Stothart said．That conclusion should encourage scientists to look even more closely into how，at a molecular level，exercise remodels the human brain，he said．It also should encourage the rest of us to move，since the benefits are，it seems，not imaginary，even if they are in our head．‎ ‎28．Which of the following about the placebo effect is TRUE according to the passage？‎ A．It occurs during exercise． B．It has cognitive benefits．‎ C．It is just a mental reaction． D．It is a physiological response．‎ ‎29．Why did the researchers at the two universities conduct the research？‎ A．To discover the placebo effect in the exercise．‎ B．To prove the previous studies have a big drawback．‎ C．To test whether exercise can really improve cognition．‎ D．To encourage more scientists to get involved in the research．‎ ‎30．What can we know about the research Cary Stothart and his team carried out？‎ A．They employed 171 people to take part in the actual exercise．‎ B．The result of the research removed the recent doubt of some scientists．‎ C．The participants thought walking had a greater impact on thinking ability．‎ D．Their conclusion drives scientists to do research on the placebo effect．‎ ‎31．What might be the best title for the passage？‎ A．Is it necessary for us to take exercise？ B．How should people exercise properly？‎ C．What makes us smarter during exercise？ D．Does exercise really make us smarter？‎ D ‎ The new Swedish gender-neutral (性别中立的) word “hen” was introduced at two Stockholm nurseries in 2012. It is used for describing either male or female, or someone not wanting to be described with those terms. Today “hen” is frequently used by Swedish children and adults alike. Now other European countries are joining the gender-neutrality trend.‎ ‎“Fourteen major retailers(零售商) have made changes since we started our campaign almost two years ago,” reports Tricia Lowther, a mother-of-one in northern England and a member of the Let Toys Be Toys initiative, which lobbies for gender-neutral toy aisles. “They’ve taken down boys’ and girls’ signs. The blue and pink aisles remain, but things are happening.” The retailers doing away with boys’ and girls’ toy signs are major ones indeed: Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Boots. Marks & Spencer has gone even further, making its toy labelling gender-neutral.‎ In the efforts to achieve gender equality in the children world, no country has gone as far as Sweden. The nurseries that first introduced “hen” still use it, and others have joined them. “All children should be able to wear what they want. Dresses are not just for girls. And pink is a beautiful colour that should be available to everybody,” says Maria Hulth of a gender equality consulting firm.‎ ‎“Sweden is really the pioneer,” says Lann Hornscheidt, a professor of gender studies. “No other country has made such an effort to break down gender barriers among children.”‎ Though there are no official statistics regarding the number of Swedish nurseries using “hen”, Maria Hulth notes that individual teachers now often opt to use “hen” even when it’s not the nursery’s policy. But, she notes, “Swedish nurseries’ and primary schools’ gender-neutral efforts don’t end at the neutral word. They’re putting a lot of effort into avoiding words like boys and girls, instead just saying ‘children’.‎ To its supporters, Sweden’s nursery world of “hen” and pink-for-all is a civil rights heaven. But, Dr David Eberhard argues that a new word won’t change the fact that the vast majority of people identify either as men or women. “Whatever you choose to call people, the biological differences between men and women remain,” he notes. “We should treat each other with respect, but ignoring biological gender differences is crazy. Making us the same won’t create more equality.” He thinks boys should be allowed to play with dolls – and girls with cars – if they like to. “But”, he adds, “calling them hen instead of him or her? That’s child cruelty.”‎ Given that Sweden is the world’s fourth most gender-equal country, as measured in the World Economic Forum’s latest gender gap report (only Iceland, Finland and Denmark score higher), practices like the use of “hen” suggest an already progressive country trying to fix a minor problem.‎ ‎“Far from it, the gender gap creates poverty among women,” argues Hornscheidt. “Movements like the use of “hen” are all part of an effort to create a more just world.”‎ ‎32.The author mentions some major retailers in Paragraph 2 to show___________.‎ A. the influence of the gender-neutral campaign B. these retailers’ efforts to promote toy sales C. the importance of making boys and girls equal D. the varieties of toys for children to choose from ‎33.The underlined word “opt” in Paragraph 5 is closes in meaning to ___________.‎ A. hesitate     B. prefer     C. pretend     D. refuse ‎34. Which of the following would Lann Hornscheidt most probably agree with?‎ A. Both men and women should wear pink clothes to show equality.‎ B. Kids and adults will stay equal if they both use the word “hen”.‎ C. Sweden has taken the lead in advocating the real gender equality.‎ D. There are no biological gender differences between men and women.‎ ‎35. What is the purpose of the passage?‎ A. To seek a new solution to gender inequality.‎ B. To introduce a new development in gender equality.‎ C. To stress the significance of Sweden’s gender neutral movement.‎ D. To compare Sweden’s education with that of other European countries.‎ 第二部分 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。‎ Weighing the Options ‎    Making decisions when shopping is often a tough call. Even if you’re satisfied with the first dress you try on, would you go on looking for alternatives, comparing styles and prices, until literally dropped dead?‎ ‎    Psychology researchers have studied how people make decisions and concluded there are two basic styles. “Maximizers” like to take their time and weigh a wide range of options—sometimes every possible one—before choosing. “Satisficers” would rather be fast than thorough.‎ ‎    36. __________ So even if they see what would seem to meet their requirements, they can’t make a decision until after they’ve examined every option to make sure that they’re making the best possible choice. Researchers followed 548 job-seeking college seniors at 11 schools from October through their graduation in June. They found that the maximizers landed better jobs. 37. _________.‎ ‎    “The maximizer is kicking himself because he can’t examine every option and at some point had to just pick something,” they say. “Maximizers make good decisions and end up feeling bad about them. 38. _________‎ ‎    Satisficers also have high standards, but they are happier than maximizers. Maximizers tend to be more depressed and to report a lower satisfaction with life, their research found.‎ ‎    Faced with so many choices in our lives, we need to learn how not to waste time and energy on our decision-making.‎ ‎    39. ________ For instance, if you’re picking a restaurant for a lunch meeting, first deciding on a certain part of town or type of cuisine can narrow your options.‎ ‎    Once you’ve arrived at a decision, stick with it. 40. __________ To limit the number of options you can set a time limit for decision-making. Say you are buying a new bag, you could spend an amount of time studying features, price and value—but if you give yourself only five minutes to make a decision, and there are only these bags you can consider, you’ll save time. You’ll be happier with your decision, too.‎ A. The other is to make decisions more accurately at the beginning.‎ B. Satisficers make good decisions and end up feeling good.‎ C. First of all, decrease your range of options.‎ D. Comparing is often a must when you make a decision.‎ E. Maximizers are people who want the best.‎ F. Just accept that no decision is ever completely perfect.‎ G. Their starting salaries were 20 percent higher but they felt worse about their jobs.‎ 三.语言知识技能运用（共两节，共45分）‎ ‎【一】完形填空（每题1.5分，共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。‎ Teaching anyone to think of others before themselves is, I believe, a life-long effort.

The reason is that I an busy preparing myself for the coming final examination.‎ ‎ I strongly recommend my friend Mary, who is the most suitable choice to take my place next week. She began to learn painting at an early age and has a good knowledge of the traditional Chinese painting, which, together with her active personality and perfect spoken English, will help make your activity a success.‎ Sorry again for any inconvenience caused by my absence.‎ Best wishes.‎ Yours sincerely,‎ Li Hua 听力材料 Text 1‎ W: The construction in front of our building has been going on for about two months now, and it’s driving me crazy! Plus, there’s no reason they need to start at seven o’clock in the morning.‎ M: True enough. Let’s see what we can do about it. I’ll talk to them first thing in the morning.‎ Text 2‎ W: John, you’ve been to Asia before, right?‎ M: Sure, lots of times. Are you thinking of taking a trip there?‎ W: Maybe. What places would you recommend?‎ Text 3‎ W: How is your book coming, Jason?‎ M: Uh, it’s okay. I talked to some soldiers about their experiences in the war. Now, I just have to ‎ organize my information and expand on their stories.‎ Text 4‎ W: Did you hear that John passed the Step One United States Medical Licensing Examination?‎ M: Finally! It’s about time!‎ W: Yeah, he’s really happy. He invited us out for drinks tonight.‎ Text 5‎ M: Could you get onto the couch and lie on your back, please? Now, I am going to take your left leg and see how far you can raise it. Keep the knee straight. Does that hurt at all?‎ W: Yes, just a little.‎ M: Let me just call Dr. Bronson. ‎ Text 6‎ W: Are you going to vote on whether or not to close the cafeteria?‎ M: Yeah. I was going to vote this afternoon after my history class.‎ W: Which option are you going to vote for?‎ M: I’m going to vote to close the cafeteria and open a barbecue grill on campus.‎ W: You think those kinds of places are better than the cafeteria in the Student‎ ‎Center?‎ M: Sure. I like variety. So, the more food choices to select from, the better! I don’t like the food in the cafeteria. It’s too much like the food in my high school cafeteria.‎ W: I don’t think the cafeteria food is that bad.‎ M: Another reason I don’t like the cafeteria is that it’s always so crowded. I can never find a place to park my bike during lunch.‎ Text 7‎ W: Excuse me, is this the baggage claim area from AM 231?‎ M: Yes, can I help you?‎ W: Well, this is my baggage claim tag. But I still can’t find my checked baggage.‎ M: Don’t worry. I am sure it will come in a minute. The baggage checked in the first would come out later, for the porters put it in the airplane earlier than others.‎ W: Thank you, but I am a little worried.‎ M: How many pieces of luggage do you have? Can you describe them?‎ W: I have two suitcases and one bag. One is a large dark blue leather suitcase. Another one is a ‎ medium gray leather suitcase. Also, I have a light brown small bag. All of them have my name tag on them.‎ Text 8‎ W: Hello, can I speak to Sam?‎ M: This is Sam speaking.‎ W: Sam, this is Jane. Could you review the results of the survey on sporting activities again? We need to plan out our proposal for this Friday’s business meeting.‎ M: Sure, Jane. I’ve summarized the results, broken down by consumer age groups and sporting activities. The survey was carried out among 550 men and women between the ages of 18 and 55, and the results have been organized in terms of the following age groups: 18 to 26, 27 to 35, 36 to 45, and 46 to 55. According to the results, the most active group is the 18-to-26 group, followed by people 36 to 45 years old.‎ W: Okay.‎ M: As far as particular sports are concerned, people in these two groups reported jogging as their favorite recreational sport, followed by skiing, tennis, swimming, and cycling.‎ W: And what about these groups broken down by sex?‎ M: Oh, Jane, thanks for bringing that up. Men appear to be slightly more active than women in the 18-to-26-year-old age group, but women seem more active in the other three groups.‎ W: Hmm. Based on what you have said, I think we should consider targeting the 18-to-26-year-old age group in the future.‎ M: I agree with you.‎ Text 9‎ M: I heard from my friend that you have a lot of classic guitars here. I love guitars, and I am a big music fan. Do you think that you could show me some of your more special pieces?‎ W: Sure! We have a large number of old guitars. Most of them are Fenders, and almost all of them were guitars that the great guitar players liked to use. For example, we have the guitar that Jimi Hendrix played in the 1970s.‎ M: Jimi Hendrix was okay, but I’m really more of a Jimmy Page fan. Do you have any of his old guitars?‎ W: Yes, we do. We have the Fender that he played at his famous 1975 show in Chicago. It’s ‎ priced a little higher than our other guitars, though, because he signed the back of it.‎ M: Wow. That is absolutely amazing. There’s no price you can put on something like that. A real fan would pay anything just to have that.‎ W: Well, would you like to take it home, sir?‎ M: Not this time, thank you. I came by your shop because I was curious about your classic guitars. But now that I am here, I think I will buy a small guitar for my nephew to learn to play. Do you have anything like that here?‎ W: Certainly, I’ll be happy to show you that now, if you’d like. If you ever have any other questions about our collection of classic guitars, please feel free to visit our website or come by the shop any time.‎ Text 10‎ W: Dr. Wallace, could you tell me something about health insurance in America, please?‎ M: Certainly. Most universities and colleges in the United States have a health insurance plan for international students. It generally costs around $‎300 a year now. You may think it is a waste of money, but if you have even a small medical problem, the insurance will help you to pay the bills. So, you should take out a medical insurance policy when you arrive at the university. I am sure the International Students Office will help you with that. Private doctors are the standard form of medical care in America, but there are also college clinics, public and private clinics, etc. The quality of medical care can be very different at these different places, so it would be better if you ask an American friend for advice before going to see a doctor. Before you leave China, I suggest you have a check-up. If there is something wrong, you can have it taken care of in your own country. Don’t forget to take your personal and family health records abroad with you. They provide important and useful information if you need to go to the hospital. But remember to take good care of yourself. Don’t work too hard...‎ 版权所有：高考资源网(www.ks5u.com)‎
