Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people avert their gaze and keep on walking rather than stop and get involved. ‎ ‎“There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed.” says a psychologist. “The first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help. In order to take action, you have to work against them. ” Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping. ‎ ‎◆Why should I be the one? I'm probably not the most competent (有能力的) person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance. ‎ ‎◆What if he doesn't really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others. ‎ ‎◆No one else looks concerned—this must not be a problem. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.‎ ‎“If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and assess the situation instead of walking on,” says the psychologist. “Then retry to involve other people; you don't have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes it's just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, ‘It looks like we should do something.’ Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you.” ‎ ‎1. According to a study of by-standers, what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk?‎ A.

The main purpose of the text is to tell readers _____. ‎ A. to give others a hand B. to be more competent ‎ C. not to risk looking foolish D. to stop and assess the situation B The Poetry Foundation, recently named American poet Jack Prelutsky as the nation's first children's poet laureate (桂冠诗人). The group created the award as a way to increase children's love of poetry.‎ As children's poet laureate, Jack Prelutsky will give two public readings in the next two years. He will also advise the Poetry Foundation about children's literature and take part in projects concerning children and poetry.‎ Jack Prelutsky has been writing poetry for children for over forty years. He has written more than thirty five books of poems. His first book was called A Gopher in the Garden. It was published in 1967. His latest is called Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant and Other Poems.‎ Jack Prelutsky is well known for creating new words by combining two words to create a new kind of creature. For example, he combined “radish” with “shark” to get “radishark”. “Lion” and “broccoli” became “broccolion”. He also created “umbrellaphant”， a mixture of the words “umbrella” and “elephant”．‎ Jack Prelutsky says that children like his poems because he writes about things they care about. Poetry researchers say that Jack Prelutsky's poems recognize children's feelings. An example of this is the poem My Sister Is a Werewolf which is about how it feels to be different.‎ Jack Prelutsky also writes poems about American holidays. His poem It's Halloween is a very famous one about the holiday celebrated at the end of October.‎ ‎6. Which of the following can be the BEST title of the passage?‎ A.

He is famous for creating new words.‎ C I am sure we’ve all come across inspiring quotes（引言）that made us nod in agreement or made us think, “Wow, that’s good quotes”. But we end up going back to procrastinating（拖延）on whatever it was we were procrastinating on. So is it worthwhile to read these inspirational quotes? Well, that depends.‎ Quotes, books, articles, audio programs… all of these things are just tools and they’re only effective when you use them. I don’t know about you but most quotes I read don’t do anything for me. However, every now and then, I will come across one that will positively affect me in some way such as reminding me to be grateful, getting me to work out extra hard at the gym without being pressed by my wife, or never give up when things get tough.‎ From my experience, reading quotes is more effective when you’re actually trying to motivate yourself rather than just reading them for the sake of reading them. The second you feel the urge to take action, you’d better immediately get up off your chair and take action.‎ These quotes aren’t for everyone. If you have read tons of them and have never been motivated or had a positive change in the way you look at life or how you treat others, or these quotes don’t help you to insist on doing something when you feel like giving up on it, then it’s probably not worthwhile to read more of them. If you have ‎ done something a bunch of times and it’s not giving you the results you want, don’t keep doing it. Try something else.‎ Now if you’ve found some value in reading these quotes in the past, continue to make them more effective by letting them guide your life.‎ ‎11. What attitude does the author have towards most quotes he has read?‎ A. Negative. B. Grateful. C. Doubtful. D. Interested ‎12. What does the author’s wife expect him to do? ‎ A. To be grateful for life. B. To exercise at the gym ‎ C. To do extra work at home D. To read more inspiring quotes ‎13. For whom will the quotes be effective according to the author?‎ A. Those who understand them thoroughly. ‎ B. Those who lack practical tools in life.‎ C. Those who have no one to turn to for help.‎ D. Those who take immediate action after reading them.‎ ‎14. What is implied in Paragraph 4?‎ A. Some quotes may have a bad influence on people.‎ B. You shouldn’t waste time on the things you don’t like.‎ C. Many ways can motivate you besides reading inspiring quotes.‎ D. You’d better keep away from a quote if it doesn’t benefit you.‎ ‎15. What is the purpose of the passage?‎ A. To persuade people not to waste time on quotes.‎ B. to explain how to make inspiring quotes effective.‎ C. to encourage people to read more inspiring quotes.‎ D. to give people advice on how to choose useful quotes.‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Four simple ways to stay positive Trying to stay positive, both in good times and bad, is a great way to improve your quality of life. Try these four methods on a daily basis.‎ Don’t think a lot about negativity.‎ Of course, staying positive 24 hours a day, seven days a week is a bit difficult. Letting things get to you is normal, and it’s actually healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while. It’s when those negative moments control your life that your emotional balance is at risk.  　 16 　 However, don’t give that sadness another second in your day.‎ ‎　 17 　 ‎ What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside. Fill yourself with good, healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and limit snacking. Exercise is equally of great importance. Take a few days out of your week for at least a half an hour of activity, and try to stick to a routine. 　 18 　‎ Be kind to others.‎ ‎　 19 　 Making someone’s day a bit brighter not only puts a smile on his or ‎ her face, but also yours as well. Remember to smile and treat each person with pity and respect. Good deeds are contagious (传染的), and your positive attitude may spread among others.‎ Take it one day at a time.‎ Being positive isn’t an instant thing. It’s a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day. 　 20 　 Instead, focus on living in the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better.‎ A. Eat healthy and stay fit.‎ B. Take your lunch breaks outside.‎ C. Don’t worry about what the future may bring.‎ D. Gratefulness helps you appreciate life in bad times.‎ E. Good feelings come from acts of kindness and selflessness.‎ F. Take a few minutes to feel sad and accept what happened.‎ G. Even going outside for a walk and enjoying the sunshine improves your mood.‎ 第二部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ The life of George Washington was well-known for punctuality.
