I was a college freshman and had stayed up most of the night before laughing and talking with friends. Now just before my first class of the day my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier and my head was drifting down to my desk to make my textbook a pillow. A few minutes nap time before class couldn’t hurt, I thought.‎ BOOM! My head jerked up and my eyes opened wider than saucers. I looked around with my heart beating quickly trying to find the cause of the noise. My young professor was looking back at me with a mischievous, boyish grin on his face. He had intentionally dropped the pile of textbook he was carrying onto his desk. “Good morning!”,he said, still smiling. “I am glad to see everyone is awake. Now let’s get started.”‎ For the next hour I wasn’t sleep at all. It wasn’t from the shock of my professor’s textbook alarm clock either. It was instead from the fascinating discussion he led. With knowledge and good humor he made the material come alive. His insights were full of both wisdom and lovingkindness. And the enthusiasm and joy that he tanght with were contagious（有感染力的）.I left the classroom not only wide awake, but a little smarter and a little better as well.‎ I learned something far more important than not sleeping in class that day too. I learned that if you are going to do something in this life, do it well, do it with joy, and make it an expression of your love. What a glorious place this world be if all of us did our work joyously and well. What a beautiful world we could create if every doctor, teacher, musician, preacher, cook, mechanic, waitress, businessman, fisherman, poet, miner, farmer, and laborer made their work an expression of their love. Don’t sleepwalk your way through life then. Wake up ! Let your love fill your work and love fill your soul. Life is too short not to live it well.‎ ‎56．What happened to the student just before his first class of the day?‎ A．He had stayed up most of the night.‎ B．He was not himself at the moment.‎ C．He got painful eyes and a heavy head.‎ D．He wanted to take a nap before class.‎ ‎57．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean ?‎ A．badly behaved B．evil C．naughty D．unconscious ‎58．Which of the following I TURE ?‎ A．Although the student was frightened awake, he was not clearheaded in the class.‎ B．The student was fascinated with the professor’s wisdom and enthusiasm.‎ C．The professor often kept his students sharp by using a textbook alarm.‎ D．The student left the twohour period not only wide awake, but a little smarter.‎ ‎59．What else did the student learn that day ?‎ A．People from all walks of life should do their jobs with wisdom and love.‎ B．Everyone should love his job and sleepwalk his way through life.‎ C．Students should not sleep in class and they should respect their teachers.‎ D．Life is too limited to make your work an expression of your love.‎ B Why should ear, nose, tongue and eyes be called special senses? The basic reason is that these are the channels through which we maintain contact with the surroundings. Though apparently it may feel like these are individual sensory organs, they do show some connections. Interestingly, our hearing is less sharp after we eat a heavy food. Isn’t it good for a sound nap after a stomachfull meal? That does not mean we go deaf after a heavy meal, but the hearing pitch（强度）does change after that.‎ We usually owe it to our tongue that we have taste, but do you know that unless saliva（唾液）dissolves something, our tongue cannot recognize the taste of the food eaten. Taste is nothing but the food chemicals dissolved in the saliva being sensed by the taste buds present on the tongue. Try to dry off your tongue and mouth with a tissue paper and then taste something.‎ Woman are much better smellers than man. They are born with this characteristic ability and can correctly make out the exact fragrance of the sample. We all can store almost 50,000 different scents, which are strongly tied to the memories.‎ Pupils（瞳孔） do not respond to light alone, but to the slightest bit of noise around too. Thus surgeons, watchmakers and those professionals who have to perform a very delicate job do prefer to have a soundfree environment. Even a small noise can enlarge their pupils, change the focus and make them see less clearly.‎ Each and every one of us has an individualistic or characteristic smell, which is unique to us,‎ ‎ except for the identical twins. This smell isn’t very noticeable yet can be sensed even by a newborn. It may be due to this scent that the newborn recognizes the presence of his parents around. Many of us can point out the smell of our significant friends and colleagues. This is guided, to a great degree, by genetics but it is also influenced by the environment, diet and so on. This all together creates the unique chemistry that is individualistic for each person.‎ ‎60．What may happen after you have had a rich lunch?‎ A．Your eyes become weak and can’t see well.‎ B．You may feel fresher and more energetic.‎ C．Your hearing pitch may be decreased.‎ D．Your tongue may lose the function of taste.‎ ‎61．We can infer from the underlined sentence that __________.‎ A．your tongue must be dried so as to taste something.‎ B．if your tongue is dried without any saliva on it, it will not work.‎ C．your tongue alone can recognize the taste of food eaten.‎ D．if your tongue is dried with a tissue paper, it may work as well as before.‎ ‎62．What makes each person different from anyone else except for twins according to the passage?‎ A．The particular smell of a person.‎ B．The characteristics of a person.‎ C．The style of one’s behavior.‎ D．The ability to distinguish various scents.‎ ‎63．Which of the following may be the best title of this passage?‎ A．The Sensitivity of Sensory Organs B．The Functions and Connections of Sensory Organs C．A Newborn’s Sensory Organs D．Different Senses Between Men and Woman C Mom was right! If you say thank you, for even the smallest gift or slightest show of kindness, you’ll fell happy.‎ Gratitude（感谢）, says Robert A. Emmons, a professor of psychology at the University‎ of ‎California, is an extremely important element of happiness, In his most recent book, Thanks! （Houghton Mifflin, ＄30.95）, Emmons uses the first major study on gratitude to prove mom’s point. In acknowledging and promoting this muchignored expression of thankfulness, he explains how people have benefited —even improved their health.‎ As one of the leading scholars of the positive psychology movement, he admits gratitude may be difficult to express. He recommends you begin by acknowledging that life is good and full of events and elements that make daily existence a wonder.‎ Second, recognize that the source of life’s goodness is more than just you. That source may be your mom, a friend, partner, child, colleague at work or play, a caregiver or God —or any combination of these.‎ Expressing gratitude should not be a reaction. Instead, it should be a state of mind, To feel grateful when life is a breeze and you have more than what you need is easy, To be grateful in times of crisis —anger, hatred and bitterness—is easier. Also, too many people are aware of life’s blessings only after these are lost.‎ It’s crisis and chaos—danger, disease, disability and death — that bring many individuals to realize just how dependent they are on others. Yet it’s the way each of us begins life and ends it. It’s too hard that so many people waste those decades in between laboring under the illusion（幻觉） that they are selfsufficient, says Emmons.‎ I’m not a reader or advocate of selfhelp books, but I am thankful for the reference I found in a newspaper article to the research Emmons was conducting on gratitude involving organ donors and recipients（接受者）. The chance discovery led me to this book.‎ Mom implied that kindness seems to find its way back to the giver because life really is all about giving, receiving and repaying. So I’ll follow her advice and say: Thank you, Professor Emmons.‎ ‎64．What is mainly discussed in the text?‎ A．Being thankful will keep you fit.‎ B．Mom is great for her being thankful.‎ C．There are many ways of being thankful.‎ D．Gratitude is of vital importance to happiness.‎ ‎65．It will be easier for you to feel grateful when ‎ A．you live a comfortable life B．you receive gifts on your birthday C．you get help during your hard times D．you are congratulated on your success ‎66．Mom may most probably agree with the following point that .‎ A．it is easy to express your gratitude B．kindness may somehow be repaid C．people should always think of giving rather than receiving D．only deeds like organ donation are worth your gratitude D Birds have long been known to be the disease carries for years, but now they are receiving so much pressure due to Avian Bird Flu.

The answer is that we must equip ourselves to deal with different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis. The three steps are:‎ Get the facts Why is it so important to get the facts? Unless you have the facts, you can’t possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently. Without the facts, all you can do is wandering around in confusion. It’s not an easy job to get facts. When you are worried, your emotions are riding high.‎ ‎ 71 .‎ When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person. 72 You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree. Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case. You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.‎ ‎ 73 ‎ Whenever you are worried, write down the questions that make you worry. And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step. For example, what am I worrying about? What can I do about it? Here is what I am going to do about it. After carefully weighing all the facts, you can calmly come to a decision.‎ Act on that decision ‎ 74 How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you? Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry. 75 ‎ If you know a situation is beyond your power, say to yourself:“It is so; it cannot be otherwise.”‎ Don’t permit little things to ruin your happiness. Try to cultivate a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness.‎ A．Accept what cannot be avoided.‎ B．There comes a time when you must decide and never look back!‎ C．But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way.‎ D．Unless you take your action, all your factfinding and analysis is a sheer waste of energy.‎ E．Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.‎ F．This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence.‎ G．Analyze the facts.‎ 第II卷（非选择题，共35分）‎ 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节 短文改错（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌的以下作文。文中共有 ‎10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错去涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下写出该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线（＼）划掉。‎ 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意：1.每处错误及其修改均只限一词；‎ ‎ 2.只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。‎ January7th, 2013 Fine Last Friday, I attended two painting lesson. In one class a student painted with her feet dip into ink, and made a painting where there were lovely footprints. Moreover, in the other class, another student used a brush to paint so beautiful the landscape that I had a true scene in my mind. As it is often the case, we did things as told before. We may make fewer mistakes and achieve success by following which we have known or learnt. But take it serious that we need to make a change and try something new, and we will never make a breakthrough.
