16、r a few moments, my passenger started a conversation. It began ordinarily enough: “How do you like driving a cab?” “Its OK,” I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes. How about you?”His reply intrigued me. “I would not change jobs even if I could make twice as much money doing

17、something else.” Id never heard that before. “What do you do?” “Im in the neurology (神学)department at New York Hospital.” I believe that people are put together for a reason. I decided to ask for this mans help. We were not far from the airport. “Could I ask a big favor of you? I have a son, 15, a g

18、ood kid. He wants a job, but a 15-year-old cant get hired unless his old man knows someone who owns a business, and I dont.” I paused. “Is there any possibility that you could get him some kind of a summer job?”He didnt respond for a while. Finally, he said: “Well, the medical students have a summer

19、 research project. Maybe he could fit in. Have him send me his school record.” I tore off a piece of my brown lunch bag, and he scribbled his name on it and paid me. It was the last time I ever saw him. After I nagged (唠叨), yelled, and finally threatened to cut off his allowance (零用钱) my son Robbie

20、sent off his grades to the guy the next morning. Two weeks later, when I arrived home from work, my son was beaming (眉开眼笑). He handed me a letter from my passenger, “Fred Plum, MD, Neurologist-in-Chief, New York Hospital”. Robbie was to call my passengers secretary for an interview. Robbie got the j

21、ob. He did minor tasks, unpaid, but he fit in well. The following summer, he worked at the hospital again with more responsibility. As high school graduation neared, Dr Plum was kind enough to write letters of recommendation for Robbie. Much to our delight, he was accepted by Brown University. Robbi

22、e did well in college and medical school, and he eventually did a four-year residency (住院医生实习期) in obstetrics and gynecology (妇产科). Finally, Dr Robert Stern, the son of a taxicab driver, became OB-GYN chief resident at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. Some might call it fate, and I guess it was

23、. But it shows that something as ordinary as a taxi ride can change your life. 24. What does the underlined word “intrigued” in the third paragraph mean? A. Confused. B. Benefited. C. Interested. D. Challenged. 25. After the author got the passengers name, he _. A. found that his son got the summer

24、job immediately B. had difficulty persuading his son to send his school record C. found his son wasnt interested in getting a summer job D. asked for his help more than once 26.

25、s his job and devotes himself to it. C. Robbie was very eager to work at New York Hospital. D. Dr. Plum promised to help the author without hesitation. 27.

26、o do what he could for his son D. taught his son by example COverhearing a one-sided cell phone call is more distracting than eavesdropping on both sides of a conversation, a new study finds. “People find cell phone conversations annoying survey results indicate that up to 82percent of people do,” V

27、eronica Galvn, a cognitive ( 认 知 的 ) psychologist at the University of San Diego, told Tech News Daily. “We were curious to see what cognitive effects overhearing cell phone conversations might have, since they are now so pervasive in everyday life.” To see how precisely cell phone chatter might dis

28、tract people, Galvn and her team had about 150 volunteers complete a task where they had to unscramble letters to form words for instance, rearrange “suohe” to form“house”. As the volunteers performed the task, the scientists carried out a conversation in the background that volunteers were unaware

29、was part of the study. Half the volunteers overheard one side of a chat carried out on a cell phone, while the rest overheard the conversation as a discussion between two people in the room with them. The discussions involved topics such as shopping for furniture, a birthday party and meeting a date

30、 at the mall. The people who overheard the one-sided mobile phone call thought the background conversation was far more distracting than those who heard it as a chat between two people. People not only thought cell phone conversations were more attention-catching, but they also remembered more words

31、 and content from the cell phone discussions than they did from two-sided conversations and made fewer errors recognizing which words were part of the phone call. Past research suggests this is due to how one-sided conversations are more unpredictable than ones where people can hear both sides of a

32、discussion. “Not knowing where the conversation is heading is what makes cell phone calls more distracting,” said study co-author Rosa Vessal at the University of San Diego. Galvn recalled how distracting cell phone calls could be in her own life. “Wed been doing the study for a couple of months, an

33、d I was at the store looking at clothes, and the lady next to me was on a cell phone saying, Yeah, he was in jail last night,” Galvn said. “I had no idea what she was talking about it was just a snipped-off conversation without context (语境), and it really was different from a conversation you could

34、hear both sides of.” 28. What does the underlined word “distracting” mean in the first paragraph? A. Annoying. B. Frightening. C. Puzzling. D. Interesting. 29. Which of the following is TRUE about the experiment that Galvn did according to the article? A. Males and females were asked to perform the

35、task separately. B. The researchers told volunteers to ignore the distractions. C. Volunteers were asked to unscramble letters while they were distracted. D. Volunteers needed to recognize whether some words were part of the conversation they overheard.30. According to the experiments results, when

36、overhearing one-sided cell phone call, people _. A. tended to be more aware of the loud voice of the speaker B. usually felt annoyed that the speaker was using a cell phone in public C. couldnt help trying to figure out constantly where the conversation is heading D. finished their unscrambling task

37、s faster than those who heard a chat between two people 31. How does the article mainly develop? A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons. C. By following the order of time. D. By presenting a result and analyzing its reasons. DBig dogs apparently die younger than smaller ones mainly becau

38、se they age quickly, researchers say. Normally, larger mammals live longer than smaller ones; for instance, elephants can get up to 70 years old in the wild, while house mice reach only 4years.But the opposite seems true when you compare animals within one species-in mice, horses and perhaps even hu

39、mans. We can especially see how much it hurts to have a bigger body with dogs, a species that comes in various shapes and sizes. The heaviest known dog may have been Zorba, an English breed that weighed 155 kilograms, while the smallest dog alive may be Meyzi which is less than 110 grams. Large bree

40、ds often die young compared with smaller ones, with a 70- kilogram Great Dane having an average life span (寿命) of about 7 years, while a 4-kilogram toy poodle can expect to live up to 14 years. To figure out the possible tradeoffs of large size, researchers figured out at what age dogs from 74 breed

41、s died, using data from more than 56,000 dogs that visited veterinary (兽医) teaching hospitals. The researchers focused on why large dogs lived shorter lives on average. The scientists found that large breeds apparently aged more quickly; the speed at which the risk of death increased with age was gr

42、eater with larger breeds than smaller ones. Indeed, among dog breeds, an increase of 2 kilograms in body mass leads to a loss of approximately 1 month of life expectancy. “Their lives seem to end in fast motion,” said researcher Cornelia Kraus, a biologist at the University of Gttingen in Germany. T

43、he investigators now want to look at the growth and health histories of a large number of dogs and figure out the leading causes of death for large dogs. For instance, bigger canines apparently suffer from cancer more often, which could make sense; large dogs grow more than smaller breeds do, and ca

44、ncer is rooted in abnormal cell growth. These new findings might be able to help unravel (解密) the biological links between growth and death, the scientists added. 32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article? A. Smaller dogs usually age at faster rates than big dogs. B. Dogs sizes don

45、t vary much compared to different species. C. The life spans of dogs differ a lot based on their body sizes. D. The biggest dog is about 100 times heavier than the smallest dog. 33. If a 70-kilogram Great Dane has an average life span of about 7 years, how long will A. 7 years and 5 months. B. 6 yea

46、rs and 7 months. C. 7 years and 10 months. D. 6 years and 2 months. 34. The underlined word “tradeoffs” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _. A. disadvantages B. exchanges C. chances D. improvements 35. According to the last three paragraphs, the scientists are planning to _. A. find out what l

47、arger dogs do to stay healthy B. find out ways to extend the life spans of dogs C. find out why cancer attacks bigger dogs more often D. find out the most common causes of death for larger dogs 第二节（共 5 小题;每小题 2. 5 分, 满分 12. 5 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。 When you sleep, do you eve

48、r realize that you are dreaming? If yes, then you have had a lucid dream (清醒梦). _36_ Only some people are able to have them. Now, scientists have found ways to help more people to have lucid dreams, Live Science reported. Denholm Aspy from the University of Adelaide in Australia found that certain s

49、kills are key to helping people have lucid dreams.First, people can train themselves to figure out whether they are dreaming or not. For example, someone may look at a clock, look away, and then look back. _37_ Then, they might dream about this trick while sleeping. But in their dreams, the time on

50、the clock may change very quickly. So people know they are dreaming. Another trick is to wake up after five hours of sleep. _38_ During this time, repeat the words, “The next time Im dreaming, Ill remember that Im dreaming.” Then, go to bed again to enter rapid eye movement (REM，快速眼球运动) sleep. In RE

51、M sleep,people are more likely to be aware of their dreams. Scientists found that those who used these tricks had a 17 percent success rate at having lucid dreams. _39_ In a lucid dream, people might study a hobby and then become better at it in real life, according to Aspy. For example, you might l

52、earn to play the piano in a lucid dream. _40_ A. Then, stay awake for a while. B. The time should stay the same. C. This was far higher than if they did nothing. D. People learn new skills faster in a lucid dream. E. It is hard for most people to have a lucid dream. F. Then, your real-life piano ski

53、lls might improve. G. Some people will need more time to fall asleep and have a dream. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节,满分 30 分） 第一节（共 15 小题;每小题 1 分,满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出可以填 入空白处 的最佳选项。 Every year, as soon as Halloween is over, our son Matthew waits for the lights.
