In a few hours he would be flying to France to 31 a different life . It was a transitional（过渡期的）time in Daniels life. I wanted to leave him some words of 3

17、2 . But nothing came from my 33 and this was not the first time I had let such a moment 34 . When Daniel was five, I took him to the school-bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He looked at me - as he did now. “What is it going to be like, Dad? Will I be okay? ” And then he walked up the 35 of

18、 the bus and disappeared inside. And the bus 36 . And I had said nothing. A decade or so later, a similar 37 played itself out. I drove him to college. I tried to think of something to say to give him 38 and confidence as he started this new life. Again, words 39 me. Now, as I stood before him, I th

19、ought of those 40 opportunities. How many times have we all let such moments pass? My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always 41 never hearing him put his 42 into words and never having the memory of that moment. Now, I could feel my palms（手掌） 43 and my throat tighten. Why is it so 44 to tell a

20、 son something from the heart? My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words 45 . “Daniel, I said, if I could have picked, I would have picked you. Thats all I could say. I wasnt sure he understood what I 46 . Then he came toward me and threw his arms around me. For a m

21、oment, the world and all its people vanished（消失）, and there was just Daniel and me. He was saying something, 47 my eyes misted（视线模糊）over, and I couldnt understand what he was saying. All I was 48 of was the stubble（胡子茬）on his chin as his face pressed 49 mine. And then, the moment ended. What I had s

26、ting their new college school year, what is their first day like? BBCs Sean Coughlan described it in a recent report.According to Coughlan, at the very beginning it is not hard to spot something familiar to Chinese a stream of parents arriving with their sons and daughters at the student village. Mo

27、thers, fathers and a teenager now most likely taller than they are stand together like the three might have done on the first day of primary school.“The approach road to the student village is a long traffic jam of family cars, stuffed full with boxes, pillows and nervous families,” he writes. “The

28、door closes on a students room and parents and children go their separate ways. For many families, if childhood has a final moment, this is it.”But saying goodbye to parents is not the only similarity between college freshmen in the UK and China. In both cases, new arrivals most want to know about t

29、heir Internet connections. “Its their most urgent concern,” notes Coughlan.Even on their first day, university in the UK wont be an entirely lonely experience for some new students. “Before they arrive they have been using social networking to get to know their future roommates,” writes Coughlan.Sti

30、ll, the first night is something no UK university student ever forgets. There are people they meet and then spend three years avoiding and people who become their friends for the rest of their lives. First week stories are all about over-partying, bad cooking and misguided clothing, Coughlan says.As

31、 he concludes: “These new students are entering their own soap opera of romance, friendship and ambition. Its a huge adventure that theyve worked for years to achieve.” 51. What is the authors purpose in writing the article?A. To introduce how UK students prepare for college.B. To show different cha

32、llenges that college freshmen face in the UK and China.C. To describe how UK colleges welcome newcomers.D. To inform us about what the first day of college is like in the UK.52. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A. On the first day of college, UK freshmen dont know e

33、ach other.B. When the new semester begins, most UK freshmen drive to college by themselves.C. For many freshmen, when they say goodbye to their parents, they are also saying goodbye to their childhood.D. Most British parents stay around their childrens colleges for a few days at the beginning of the

34、 semester.53. A similarity between college freshmen in the UK and China is that _.A. the approach roads to their colleges are packed with cars filled with nervous familiesB. they have contacted their future roommates through social networking sitesC. once they get to the campus, they want to make su

35、re that they have access to the InternetD. they spend their first week getting to know their roommates and partying54. From the article, we can conclude that Sean Coughlans report is _.A. descriptive B. criticalC. sympathetic D. bitterB Its not so surprising that US First Lady Michelle Obama has cal

36、led Modern Family her favorite TV series. September saw the fun, heartwarming sitcom take home the Best Comedy Series award at the 2013 Emmys. This is the fourth year in a row that the series has won that title. The show features three families who move in and out of each others lives. The first one

37、 is a typical American family: the working dad Phil, stay-at-home mom Claire and their three children.The second family is made up of Jay, his young Hispanic wife and her son Manny. Jay, 65, is the father of Claire. He is 30 years older than his wife and everyone mistakes the two for being father an

38、d daughter.The third family is made up of a gay couple, Mitchell and Cameron, and their adopted daughter Lily. Mitchell is Jays son.On Sept 25, the show started its fifth season, in which Claire makes a big change she returns to work. The other big storylines include Jays stepson Manny starting high

39、 school and Mitchell and Cameron looking for a primary school for Lily. Will things go right for the three families?Modern Family has no spies, aliens or vampires (吸血鬼); its just about ordinary people. So what has made it such a hit?According to the Los Angeles Times, its “presentation of contempora

40、ry US society” contributes to its success. The show presents what a typical “nuclear family” is like in the US: two parents, a big house and two or three children. When theres a fight between their kids, Phil wants to be the “cool dad” while traditional mom Claire lives by the saying “an eye for an

41、eye”. She always forces Phil to punish the troublemaker.The show also touches upon developments in interracial relations in the US by focusing on Hispanic communities. This makes sense, as “by 2040, America will no longer be a majority-white country, with the fastest growth rate among Hispanics” BBC

42、 pointed out.In addition, according to BBC, 40 percent of Americans say they have a gay friend or relative. By including Mitchell and Cameron, Modern Family reflects the changing status of gay people in the US.“The US is a melting pot so the family has come to reflect that diversity.”commented The H

43、artman Group, a US research firm.55. Which of the following is TRUE about the characters in Modern Family?A. There are always fights between Phil and Claire because of their different ways of raising kids.B. Jay, Claire and Mitchell make up a typical American family.C. Mitchell and Cameron are a gay

44、 couple and they adopted a boy.D. Jay and his wife are often not thought of as a couple because their ages are so far apart.56. Whats new in Modern Familys fifth season?A. Lily is entering kindergarten.B. Jays grandson Manny starts high school.C. Phil loses his job.D. Claire goes back to work.57. Wh

45、y is Modern Family so popular?A. It reflects current US society.B. It presents what a typical “nuclear family” is like in the US.C. It includes developments in interracial relations in the US.D. It reflects the changing status of gay people in the US.58. Which of the following best shows the structu

46、re of the article?CUnlike 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 scientists who actually chose to experiment on themselves all in the name of science, re

47、ported The Telegraph.1. 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.Experiments had been done on horses before, so he wanted to try with human pa

48、tients. 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 centimeters into his vein. He then climbed two floors to the X-ray room before pushing

49、 the pipe all the way into his heart.2. 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 stomach acid. But in 1979 an Australian scientist named Robin Warren found that the disease m

50、ight be related to a bacteria 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 bravely drank some of the bacteria. Five days later, he lost his appetite and soon was vomiting each m

51、orning he indeed had gastritis.3. Ralph Steinman (Nobel prize winner in 2011)This Canadian scientist discovered a new type of immune system cell called the dendritic cell. He believed that it had the ability to fight against cancer.Steinman knew he couldnt yet use his method to treat patients. So in

52、 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 different vaccines based on his research and a total of eight experimental therapies. Even though Steinman eventua

53、lly died from his cancer, he lived four and a half years, much longer than doctors had said he would.59. Whats the main purpose of the article?A. To introduce a few Nobel prize winners who did experiments on themselves.B. To list difficulties that scientists went through in order to make important d

54、iscoveries.C. To explain why some scientists chose to experiment on themselves.D. To introduce some dangerous experiments that Nobel prize winners did on themselves.60. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A. Forssmanns experiment ended in failure.B. Forssmann had the pipe pushed

55、all the way into his heart.C. Barry Marshall succeeded by drinking some Helicobacter pylori.D. Barry Marshalls experiment on himself confirmed that most doctors belief about gastritis was correct.61. The underlined word “gastritis” in Paragraph 5 probably means _.A. a kind of bacteriaB. a kind of st

56、omach diseaseC. a new type of therapy D. a large amount of stomach acid62. From the text, we can conclude that Ralph Steinman _.A. discovered a new type of cancer cell called the dendritic cellB. tried different therapies containing the dendritic cell on himselfC. had his request to experiment on pa

57、tients deniedD. believed that he was better than doctors at treating cancerDMost nutrition education isnt very effective. People know that an apple is better than a Snickers bar, but they often eat the Snickers bar anyway. After conducting hundreds of studies on the psychology of how and why we eat,

58、 Ive seen that its good to understand nutrition, but its much better to change your eating environment. Doing so can help you make better choices without even thinking about it.Part 1We all know children can be stubbornly habitual in what they want to eat. If kids had French fries yesterday, they wa

59、nt them again today. We came up with a simple way to interrupt this default. Instead of asking kids what they want, what if we ask them about someone they admire?We studied this with elementary schoolaged children one summer. We treated 22 kids to apple slices or fries at a fast-food restaurant. The

60、 first week, 20 of them ordered French fries, and two ordered apple slices. But the next week, we asked, “What would Batman eat : apple slices or French fries?” After they answered for Batman, we asked them what they wanted. This time, the number of kids who ordered apple slices jumped from two to t

61、en almost half of them.If you ask yourself before deciding between the salad and the cheesy bacon fries, “What would my role model choose?” youll be a lot less tempted. Thinking about what a well-liked person would do makes us less indulgent.Part 2If we knew what a skinny persons kitchen looked like

62、, we could set up our own kitchens in a similar way. Once we got into peoples homes, we took pictures of everything: their dishes, sinks, refrigerator shelves, counters, snacks, pet-food dishes, tables, lighting even random items held up by magnets on their refrigerators. Then we spent eight months

63、coding these kitchens to see what thin people do differently. We wondered if big kitchens turn us into big people. But it turns out that kitchen size isnt the problem. Its what you see in the kitchen. The average woman who kept potato chips on the counter weighed eight pounds more than her neighbor

64、who didnt. “In sight, in stomach.” We eat what we see, not what we dont. 63. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined part “less indulgent”?A. self-confident B. self-controlled C. self-estimated D. self-centered64. Whats the writers purpose of writing this passage?A. To give ad

65、vice on how to become slim.B. To warn people that nutrition education is important for our daily life.C. To tell us that someone children admire may influence their eating habits.D. To introduce some innovative ways to help us eat healthier.65. Which of the following statements is NOT true according

66、 to the passage?A. Changing your eating environment is more effective than understanding nutrition in order to eat healthier.B. The role model way has no effect on children at all when they choose what to eat.C. Setting up our kitchens just like the slim persons will help us eat healthier. D. It is

67、not the size of the kitchen but what we see in the kitchen that turns us into big people.66. What is the best title for part 2?A. The Slim Persons Kitchen B. How to decorate your KitchenC. Kitchen size makes a difference D. Big kitchens are more popularEIf you remember taking class notes in longhand

68、(速记), theres a good chance you also remember more about a variety of topics than todays students do. A study investigated whether taking notes by hand helps you learn better than taking notes on a laptop. It was no contest. Study authors and psychologists Pam A. Mueller of Princeton University and D

69、aniel M. Oppenheimer of the University of California Los Angeles conducted three separate experiments involving a total of 327 students. All students got the same lectures, but some used laptops, and others took notes by hand. When it came to learning the concepts, the handwriters won. When it came

70、to retrieving facts, the groups were comparable, except when given time to go home and look at their notes, at which point the handwriters did better. “Even when allowed to review notes after a weeks delay, participants who had taken notes with laptops performed worse on tests of both factual conten

71、t and conceptual（概念的）understanding,” the study states. Learning suffered not because of “multitasking” or the distraction available to students using Wi-Fi enabled laptops. In the lab, scientists allowed no extraneous（不相干的）activity. Students who paid attention and took deep notes on their laptop sti

72、ll didnt learn as wellin fact, the study suggests the thoroughness of their notes contributes to the problem. Laptop users tend to record long, verbatim quotes, which they type mindlessly. Handwriters are more selective. They “wrote significantly fewer words than those who typed,” according to the s

73、tudy. By processing and selecting the more important information, they studied more efficiently, said researchers. Heres whats a bit frightening: When the laptop students were instructed to cut down or eliminate the verbatim note taking, they couldnt. The study adds to a ton of evidence that for lea

74、rning, writing is better and that the hand has a “unique relationship with the brain when it comes to composing thoughts and ideas.” Of course, the chance of persuading students to put away their laptops is probably zero. Many of them cant write longhand, a forgotten subject in many American schools

75、, itself a source of controversy. So are we stuck with traditional classrooms and learning techniques if we want the brightest pupils? Perhaps not: Another possibility, some have suggested, is apps that permit handwriting on tablets, a compromise that students might accept.67. The reason why taking

76、notes by hand is considerably better than taking notes on a laptop may be that_.A. longhand note takers engage in more processing than laptop note takersB. students using laptops paid attention and took deep notesC. handwriters have a tendency to use long verbatim quotesD. laptop users are more sele

77、ctive when taking notes68. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “verbatim”?A. 板书的 B. 冗长的 C. 完全照字面的 D. 重要的69. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The experiments show that there are advantages of longhand over laptop note taking. B. In many American schools, longhand has always been popular

78、with the students.C. When allowed to review notes after a weeks delay, participants who had taken notes with laptops performed equivalently to longhand note takers.D. There is a good chance that many students will put away their laptops and take class notes in longhand.70. The passage is most likely

I learned this from one of my experiences that I went through during Senior One school life. When news came that I was not chosen as a member

87、 of the volleyball team of our school for my poor performance in the tryout, I was so frustrated that I almost decided to give up playing volleyball. However, my best friend Miranda analyzed my problems, pointing out that my laziness and poor preparation accounted for my failure. From then on, I dev

88、oted my spare time to practicing playing and consulting my teacher about skills every day. When another chance of trying out arrived, I got fully prepared and tried my utmost, as a result of which I was selected and became one of the most important players on our school team. From this story, I am definitely convinced that we are able to seize an opportunity as long as we get well prepared, and that the better prepared we are, the more likely we are to achieve our goals.
