Yet parents often 36 to give their children what they had when they were young. For example, todays generations of children most

18、ly have their own private 37 with a television, their own cell phone, their own computer, and finally when they are 38 enough they will even have their own cars. 39 all of these things, children do not 40 these gifts as much as previous generations did, 41 children are often 42 just spoiled(被宠坏的) ,

19、and all these things give them 43 enjoyment when they really need some 44 to their own development. Finally, children 45 these short-term activities in order to fight against their boredom, and as a result of this, kids 46 shorter periods of attention with little 47 . The obvious question that you m

20、ay be asking is probably that: 48 patience is a virtue, then why dont parents 49 it? In todays society, it is far easier to make children lose concentration than to teach personal development 50 and thats a common problem. For example, it is much easier for parents to buy a new toy or turn on the te

21、levision for their children than to 51 their curiosity (好奇)in a natural way. This strong 52 to know the world will lead them through self-learning, by which they would slowly value the 53 of hard work and patience. Basically, the easiest method for parents to teach patience to their children is not

22、by 54 them things, but by giving their children an opportunity to learn what they are interested in. Thus, parents can teach their children the same 55 lessons that they have painfully learned too. The point is, realize what they lack and take action immediately.36. A. neglect(忽略)B. refuseC. promise

26、clock that belonged to my mom. My dad gave it to me years ago after mom passed away. I have mixed feelings about keeping the clock. I love it because it was my moms, but it also holds some bad memories. You see, it chimes (打钟报时). It counts out the hour and rings once on the half hour. Or at least it

27、 used to. Now you never know what number it will ring. When my mother was at home dying from cancer, she asked for the clock to be unplugged (拔去插头等). Hearing the hours count down really angered and frightened her. Mom passed away. I decided I wanted to get the clock fixed so I could remember the goo

28、d hours we had with her. I took it to a local clock shop the other day. “I know this has no particular value as a clock, but it was my moms and I need to get it fixed,” I said to the shop owner. I went on to describe the problem. “We get a lot of these in,” he told me. “Heres what I do. We remove th

29、e clock works (机件) and replace it with a battery -operated movement (机芯) that chimes electronically,” he told me. “You cant fix this?” “No, we dont have the time nor the parts.” I thanked him and went home. I called a few other places and was told the same thing. “How incredibly sad,” I told the las

30、t one disappointedly. We copy the original instead of creating something new. We duplicate (复制); we dont originate (发明). How incredibly sad that we have become a society that replaces craftsmanship (手艺) with convenience and easy fixes. Sadly, this is also our attitude toward life itself. Each of us

31、is an original, one of a kind. But we find it so much easier to copy anothers style than to develop our own. We are wannabes (崇拜别人的人) rather than “hey-world-look-at-me”. We fail to see the real value in who we are, so we spend our lives trying to be someone else.56. The author decided to get the clo

32、ck fixed because it _. A. was a really old and valuable clock B. left the author with mixed feelings C. was the only thing that his mother had left him D. brought him memories of being with his mother57. What did the clock shop owners tell the author? A. It would cost a lot to repair the clock. B. T

33、hey could only make the clock electronic. C. The parts that the clock needed were electronic. D. They had never repaired a clock like this before.58. The purpose of the article is to criticize _. A. the irresponsible clock shop owners B. people who do not value things with a history C. people who do

34、 not have a creative attitude toward lifeD. peoples ignorance (无知) of traditional craftsmanship B Unlike chemists and physicists, who usually do their experiments using machines, biologists and medical researchers have to use living things like rats. But there are three Nobel prize-winning scientist

35、s who actually chose to experiment on themselves all in the name of science, reported The Telegraph. Werner Forssmann (Nobel prize winner in 1956) Forssmann was a German scientist. He studied how to put a pipe inside the heart to measure the pressure inside and decide whether a patient needs surgery

36、 (手术).Experiments had been done on horses before, so he wanted to try with human patients. But it was not permitted because the experiment was considered too dangerous.Not giving up, Forssmann decided to experiment on himself. He anaesthetized (麻醉) his own arm and made a cut, putting the pipe 30 cen

37、timeters into his vein (血管). He then climbed two floors to the X-ray room before pushing the pipe all the way into his heart. Barry Marshall (Nobel prize winner in 2005) Most doctors in the mid-20th century believed that gastritis was down to stress, spicy food or an unusually large amount of stomac

38、h acid (胃酸). But in 1979 an Australian scientist named Robin Warren found that the disease might be related to a bacteria (细菌) called Helicobacter pylori. So he teamed up with his colleague, Barry Marshall, to continue the study. When their request to experiment on patients was denied, Marshall brav

39、ely drank some of the bacteria. Five days later, he lost his appetite and soon was vomiting (呕吐) each morning he indeed had gastritis. Ralph Steinman (Nobel prize winner in 2011) This Canadian scientist discovered a new type of immune system cell (免疫细胞) called the dendritic cell. He believed that it

40、 had the ability to fight against cancer.Steinman knew he couldnt yet use his method to treat patients. So in 2007, when doctors told him that he had cancer and that it was unlikely for him to live longer than a year, he saw an opportunity. With the help of his colleagues, he gave himself three diff

41、erent vaccines (疫苗) based on his research and a total of eight experimental therapies (疗法). Even though Steinman eventually died from his cancer, he lived four and a half years, much longer than doctors had said he would.59. The main purpose of the article is to _. A. list some famous Nobel prize wi

42、nners. B. introduce a few Nobel prize winners who did experiments on themselves. C. describe some dangerous experiments that Nobel prize-winners did on themselves. D. list some difficulties that scientists go through to make important discoveries in biology .60. Which of the following is TRUE accord

43、ing to the article? A. Forssmanns experiment ended in failure. B. Forssmann had the pipe pushed all the way into his heart. C. Barry Marshall succeeded by drinking some Helicobacter pylori. D. Barry Marshall was given full responsibility for the study on gastritis at first.61. The underlined word “g

44、astritis” in Paragraph 5 probably means _. A. a kind of stomach disease B. a kind of immune cell C. a new type of therapy D. a type of leg cancer62. From the text, we can conclude that Ralph Steinman _. A. had his request to experiment on patients denied B. believed that cancer comes from stress and

45、 spicy food C. discovered a new type of cancer cell called the dendritic cell D. tried different therapies containing the dendritic cell on himself CAlibaba started taking the lead in China, simply enough, by connecting big Chinese manufacturers(制造商)with big buyers across the world. Its business-to-

46、business site, A allowed business to buy almost everything. Alibabas advantage wasnt hard to identify: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its marketplaces attract 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a yearand Alibaba is just the middleman. It encourag

47、es people to use its marketsnot charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience. I moved to Beijing almost a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 2

48、0 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted. “Youre looking for what exactly? Why not try it? ” my Chinese teacher asked me one day. With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began. Alibabas original business-to-business model now

49、 is secondary to consumer buying. Chinese retail（零售）buying makes up 80% of Alibabas profit, and leading that group is Taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things youll ever find. TM is Alibabas other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike an

50、d Unilever near the lowest prices. What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S. is how China has gone beyond traditional shoppingbig-box retailers especially in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers

51、have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao. I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how extensive the marketplace is. Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. Im not even a big buyer, because I need friend

52、s to help me search the Chinese-language site. When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teachers iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.63. Alibabas advantage mainly lies in _. A. its big size B. its busine

53、ss-to-business service C. its not charging small sellers D. its low price64. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the passage? A. Alibaba is of middle size among all the online sites B. Alibaba will continue to develop. C. Alibaba stands out as the best online site. D. Alibaba acts as a

54、 bridge between the buyers and sellers.65. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The authors Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover. B. Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites. C. Alibabas business-to-business service earns more money than retail now. D. TM prov

55、ides more profit than Taobao.66. What is the passage mainly about? A. Shopping online is TaoBao. B. The influence of shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping. C. Alibaba greatly influences peoples daily purchase in China. D. How the author purchases online in China. DHi, everybody. On Friday

56、, I had a discussion with working women in Rhode Island about the economic challenges they face in their own liveschallenges shared by many of you. Thanks to the work weve all put in, our economy has come a long way these past six years. Over the past 55 months, our businesses have added 10.3 millio

57、n new jobs. For the first time in six years, the unemployment rate is below 6 percent. And on Thursday, we learned that over the past six months, our economy has grown at its fastest pace since 2003. But the gains of a growing economy arent yet felt by everyone. So weve got to harness（增强） this momen

58、tum（动力）, and make the right choices so that everyone who works hard can get ahead. In recent weeks, Ive talked about these choices, from raising the minimum wage to creating new jobs in construction and manufacturing. Today, I want to focus on what I discussed with those women the choices we need to

59、 make to help more women get ahead in todays economy. Right now, women make up almost half of our workers. More women are their familys main breadwinner than ever before. So the simple truth is, when women succeed, America succeeds. And we should be choosing policies that benefit womenbecause that b

60、enefits all of us. Women deserve fair pay. Even though its 2014, there are women still earning less than men for doing the same work. We dont have second-class citizens in this countrywe shouldnt in the workplace, either. So lets make sure women earn equal pay for equal work, and have a fair shot at

61、 success. Women deserve to be able to take time off to care for a new baby, an ailing parent, or take a sick day for themselves without running into hardship. So lets make sure all Americans have access to paid family leave(带薪休假). Pregnant workers deserve to be treated fairly. Even today, women can

62、be fired for taking too many bathroom breaks, or forced on unpaid leave just for being pregnant. Thats wrongand we have to choose policies that ensure pregnant workers are treated with dignity and respect. New parents deserve quality, affordable childcare. Theres nothing like the peace of mind that

63、comes with knowing that your kids are safe while youre at work. And the benefits that children get out of early enrichment can pay off for a lifetime. But in many states, sending your kid to daycare costs more than sending them to a public university. So lets start demanding Pre-K for our kids. And

64、when most low-wage workers are women, but Congress hasnt passed a minimum wage increase in seven years, its long past time that women deserve a raise. About 28 million workers would benefit from an increase in the minimum wage to ten dollars and ten cents an hour. And more than half of those workers

65、 are women. The local businesses where these workers spend their money would benefit, too. So lets do this - lets give America a raise. All of these policies are common sense. All of them are within our reach. Weve just got to speak up and choose them. Because theyll build a stronger America for all

66、 of us.Thanks, and have a great weekend.67. The underlined word “breadwinner” in Paragraph 5 probably means _. A. the person who wins a lot of bread B. the person who takes part in the competition C. the person who earns the money to support the family D. the person who makes policies68. Which is th

67、e true fact according to the passage? A. During the last half year, our economy has grown fastest since 2003. B. All of us have felt the gains of a growing economy. C. We have never fires any women because of her taking too many bathroom breaks. D. The local businesses will not benefit a lot because

68、 of the increase in the minimum wage.69. Which is NOT included in the new policies that would help women and working families get ahead? A. Equal pay for equal work. B. Increase access to high-quality child care and paid family leave. C. Raise the minimum wage. D. Get rid of racial discrimination.70

69、. The best title for this Weekly Address may be _. A. Say no to sex discrimination. B. Its time to help women and working families. C. Lets build a stronger country. D. Equal pay for equal work.第二卷第四部分任务型阅读（共10题，每题1分，满分10分）Educating girls quite possibly harvests a higher rate of return than any othe

70、r investment available in the developing world. Womens education may be an unusual field for economists(经济学家), but increasing womens contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its focus on encouragement, provides an explanation for why so many

71、girls are deprived of(剥夺)an education.Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody elses family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than

72、boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school the prophecy (预言) becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of neglect.An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set

73、of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educ

74、ated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to

75、20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a great effect on health practices, including family planning.Topic: The significance of female (71) _ in devel
