His lover appeared before him immediately，staring at him with love．How wonderful it would be if the wedding ceremony were held now! He, again, turned the button．A grand wedding appeared in front of him；the band was playing cheerful music；he lost himself in it deeply．Unknowingly, the desires in his heart appeared endlessly：“I also want a big house．I also want a crowd of lovely children．”He turned the button．Instantly a group of lovely kids were playing joyfully in the large living room．Again，he jumped at turning the button to the right more than half．‎ ‎ How time flies! Before he saw the blooming flowers in the garden, everything had been covered in a deep snow．Looking at himself again，he had already become so old，his hair and beard totally white．‎ ‎ He was filled with regrets：I'd rather spend my life step by step than go in such a hurry．Better let me wait patiently! The button moved to the left with a rush．Once again, he was waiting for his lover under that big tree．His restlessness disappeared completely· ‎ ‎5．The angel gave the farmer a magic button in order to __________. ‎ ‎ A．make an appointment with him B．shorten his future time ‎ C．help him enjoy beautiful flowers D．change his temper ‎6．Which of the following things didn’t the farmer enjoy after using the button ?‎ ‎ A.A satisfying wedding． B．A happy family．‎ ‎ C．Splendid music． D．Blooming flowers．‎ ‎7．What does the underlined word“restlessness”in the last paragraph mean?‎ ‎ A．Eagerness． B．Hopelessness．‎ ‎ C.Impatience． D．Amazement．‎ ‎8．What can we learn from the story?‎ ‎ A.Life can’t skip forward B．Lovers had better wait．‎ ‎ C.People should live a realistic life． D．Regrets may exist if life is not fun．‎ C Perhaps Van Gogh(1853—1890) isn’t the most famous artist in the world，but his personal story is probably the most well known．The paintings he created didn’t become famous until after he died．2015 marked the 125th anniversary of his death. An art exhibition was in Beijing till Dec.6，in which more than 3000 photos of the artist’s masterpieces were shown．However，the paintings that made him famous after his death did little for him when he was alive．‎ ‎ Van Gogh was born into a family in the Netherlands．He started his career working for an art dealer．But then he tried other things like teaching in England．He also tried to become a pri est(牧师)，but failed the exams．‎ ‎ Finally，he found something else to believe in while he was living in a small mining town in Belgium—art．He returned to his childhood love of painting and drawing．‎ ‎ He was an important and great artist in a generation that challenged the Impressionist style．Post—Impressionists，like Van Gogh, wanted to show the world as it felt to them, not always as it looked．‎ ‎ Van Gogh used different forms and colors to make his art more abstract．The way he used colors was especially impressive. In Wheatfield with Crows(1890)，the colors are very intense(强烈的)．Corn is yellow, grass is green, and crows are black. But the colors are used in such a way that it looks better than a photograph．‎ ‎ Unfortunately，Van Gogh’s art wasn’t very popular while he was alive．He was poor and was thought to have mental problems，which led him to cut off his ear and eventually die by shooting himself．Arguably, it wasn’t the art that gave him mental problems．What made him so sad may have been the difficulty of working as an artist in a practical world．‎ ‎9．What can we know about Van Gogh from the passage?‎ ‎ A．He started his career working as a teacher ‎ B．He Was a priest and a miner before he became an artist．‎ C．He did not get much wealth or fame from his works before he died．‎ D．He decided to be an artist when he discovered his love for painting．‎ ‎10．According to the passage, Van Gogh impressed people deeply by _________．‎ ‎ A．how he used colors in his paintings ‎ B．how he became rich for his paintings ‎ C．how he showed the world exactly as it looked D．how he began to love art while living in Belgium ‎11．What might have caused Van Gogh’s mental problems?‎ A．The art of painting． B．The loss of one of his ears．‎ C．Pressure from his family． D．Not being accepted or recognized．‎ ‎12．What can be the best title of this passage?‎ A．Wheatfield with Crows B．An Artist’s Sad Story C．Childhood of Van Gogh D．An Art Exhibition of Van Gogh ‎ D Chimps (黑猩猩) will cooperate in certain ways, like gathering in the war parties to protect their teeeitory. But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings，they have little instinct(本能) to help one another．Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves．Even chimp mothers regularly decline to share food with their children，who are able from a young age to gather their own food．‎ ‎ In the laboratory, chimps don＇t naturally share food either．If a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no greater effort, a plate that also provides food for a neighbor in the next cage, he will pull at random—he just doesn’t care whether his neighbor gets fed or not．Chimps are truly selfish．‎ ‎ Human children, on the other hand，are naturally cooperative．From the earliest ages, they desire to help others，to share information and to participate in achieving common goals．The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this cooperativeness in a series of experiments with very young children．He finds that if babies aged l8 months see an unrelated adult with hands full trying to open a door，almost all will immediately try to help．‎ ‎ There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help，inform and share are not taught，but naturally possessed in young children．One is that these instincts appear at a very young age before most parents have started to train their children to behave socially．Another is that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are rewarded．A third reason is that social intelligence develops in children before their general cognitive(认知的)skills，at least when compared with chimps．In tests conducted by Tomasello，the human children did no better than the chimps on the physical world tests but were considerably better at understanding the social world．‎ ‎ The core of what children’s minds have and chimps’ don’t is what Tomasello calls shared intentionality．Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking．But beyond that，even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose．They actively seek to be part of a¨we¨, a group that intends to work toward a shared goal．‎ ‎13．What can we learn from the experiment with chimps?‎ ‎ A．Chimps seldom care about others’ interests．‎ ‎ B．Chimps tend to provide food for their children．‎ ‎ C．Chimps like to take in their neighbors’ food．‎ ‎ D．Chimps naturally share food with each other．‎ ‎14．Michael Tomasello’s tests on young children indicate that they___________．‎ ‎ A．have the instinct to help others B．know how to offer help to adults ‎ C．know the world better than chimps D．trust adults with their hands full ‎15．The passage is mainly about ___________．‎ ‎ A．the helping behaviors of young children ‎ B．ways to train children’s shared intentionality ‎ C．cooperation as a distinctive human nature ‎ D．the development of intelligence in children 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出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ The first year of college is one of the best periods of life，but it can also be a challenging thing．These pieces of advice will help you live through the first year in college.‎ Manage your time． ‎ ‎ Your future success depends on the way you spend your free time. At college，it's necessary to find time for studies and for having fun．One of the best ways to manage your time during the first year is to make a schedule． 16_____ I always tried to set priorities in my study and paid more attention to my subjects．‎ Don’t be afraid to leave your comfort zone．‎ ‎ 17_____ The new circle of contacts made me hesitate to step outside my comfort zone．But finally I overcame my fears and inner constraint(拘束)．There are many wonderful ‎ people who can give you valuable advice and support if you cannot make up your mind to do something．‎ Don’t be afraid to ask for help． ‎ ‎ There’s a big amount of information you’ve got to know．You might understand how to register for classes，what the names of your professors are or how to do one or another task in a proper way．18_______ They can give you a hand if you don’t know something．Moreover, many professors，teachers and other college members can answer your questions．‎ Look for opportunities．‎ ‎ 19_________ Plus，you can get acquainted with people who will help you start a successful career．When I was a freshman student，I had a chance to take a 4-week course in Europe．Also，many of my friends worked as volunteers at local hospitals．‎ ‎____20________‎ ‎ Many students complain about the lack of literature and about the high prices of textbooks．Why not use what are offered by a college you’re studying at?
