I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?‎ When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen…‎ At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.‎ Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful. I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.‎ I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I’ll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don’t live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.‎ ‎21. Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ______.‎ A. observing her school routine B. expressing her satisfaction C. impressing her classmates D. preserving her history ‎22. What caused a change in the author’s understanding of keeping a diary?‎ A. A dull night on the journey. B. The beauty of the great valley.‎ C. A striking quotation from a book. D. Her concerns for future generations.‎ ‎23. The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is ______.‎ A. to experience it B. to live the present in the future C. to make memories D. to give accurate representations ‎ ‎ B We’ve reached a strange—some would say unusual—point. While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. It’s the good life that’s more likely to kill us these days.‎ Worse, nearly l8 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. What’s going on?‎ We really don’t have many excuses for our weight problems. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public-health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through—up to a point.‎ In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades.‎ Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become a sort of fashion. No wonder it ranks as the world’s most body-conscious country.‎ We know what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we ‎ lack willpower.‎ Others blame good food. They say: it’s just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast food.‎ Some also blame their parents—their genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they’re normal in shape, or rather slim.‎ It’s a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do as I say—not as I do.‎ ‎24. What is the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?‎ A. The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.‎ B. Starvation is taking more people’s lives in the world.‎ C. WHO report shows people’s unawareness of food safety.‎ D. Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO’s efforts.‎ ‎25. Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?‎ A. A lot of effective diet pills are available.‎ B. Body image has nothing to do with good food.‎ C. They have been made fully aware of its dangers.‎ D. There are too many overweight people in the world.‎ ‎26. The example of Finland is used to illustrate ______.‎ A. the cause of heart disease B. the fashion of body shaping C. the effectiveness of a campaign D. the history of a body-conscious country ‎27. Which would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Actions or Excuses? B. Overweight or Underweight?‎ C. WHO in a Dilemma D. No Longer Dying of Hunger C The average American checks his／her smart phone once every six and a half minutes, or roughly 150 times each day．You probably do this without even thinking about it．This can influence how well we focus，and the degree to which we can have meaningful social communications, especially if we’re constantly interrupting ourselves with technology．This is ‎ a growing problem more so for younger people．However，some people might be more immune to this constant interruption．Many older adults may have not developed these “checking”habits，and are more focused on the present．‎ In our rapidly changing world，we value speed and efficiency(效率)，However，there’s something to be gained by being slow．When I first started giving presentations to large audiences，I was a rapid communicator．With my mind racing a mile a minute，I tried to say everything I knew about a topic to be thorough，but I noticed the crowd didn’t follow．Now，I have only one note to myself that I need as a reminder before beginning a presentation：“PAUSE”．I’ll set aside more time for questions and get more audience participation to assess the level in which my message has been understood．With pauses and the right speed，clear message appears，often with fewer words．‎ There is another chance to slow down．Slowing down can make you more aware of the Simple dangers of walking and falling．Falls can be one major cause of hurts and deaths in old age．Thus，taking time to walk down steps，avoiding a tripping(绊倒)danger or being aware of slippery surfaces is important at any age．‎ Today，there’re parts of our life that stress the benefits of being slow. And as we age，we might see the benefits of slowing down a little bit．While we often seek to prevent the process of aging，one necessity and potential benefit of aging may be to appreciate the benefits of slowing，enjoy the here and now a little bit more，and not to worry so much about the future．‎ ‎28．What made the author change his／her speech style?‎ A．His／Her high-speed thinking ability． B. His／Her fast-changing speech topics．‎ C．The audiences’ not participating． D. The audiences’ not understanding him／her．‎ ‎29．Where can you find the potential opinion that slowing down helps to avoid physical dangers?‎ A．In paragraph 1. B. In paragraph 2．‎ C．In paragraph 3． D．In paragraph 4．‎ ‎30．What is suggested in the last paragraph?‎ A．Good things are worth appreciating slowly．‎ B. Being slow is becoming a popular lifestyle．‎ C. Few people know how to enjoy being slow．‎ D. The old tend to enjoy the benefit of slowing more．‎ 第二节：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。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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岀能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项. ‎ Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. 31__‎ Researchers have identified several factors(因素)that motivate people to get involved in the volunteer work. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to enrich experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. 32 To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.‎ ‎_ 33 .To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can change people’s wish of participation from an internal factor(e. g.，”I volunteer because it’s important to me”）to an external factor (e. g.，“I volunteer because I’m required to do so”） 34 . People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.‎ ‎35__ .After some follow-up studies, it was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would be most likely to continue volunteer work The result leads to concrete advice ：” Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity ••• Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity.‎ A. How should we study volunteer behaviors?‎ B. Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer.‎ C. People also volunteer because they are required to do so.‎ D. When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future.‎ E. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate.‎ F. Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time?‎ G. To do so, it should help to understand why people volunteer and what keeps t heir interest. ‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 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，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order： I was to walk to the public library and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — 36 to read.‎ In the library, I 37 a few books off the shelf casually. The cover of a book 38 my eye. It presented a 39 of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal 40 I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was 41 ，given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.‎ There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked similar to my dog. My eyes ran 42 the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. 43 ，I had read the title. Without 44 the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.‎ Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. Though pages were turned very very 45 , I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been 46 from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of 47 ,on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.‎ My mother’s call 48 me to the real world. I 49 realized something： I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read 50. Books could be incredibly 51 and I was going to read them.‎ I never told my mother about my “miraculous’’（奇迹般的）experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable 52 in my classroom performance during the next year.
