Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?‎ Jane Addams(1860-1935) Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the ‎ poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.‎ Rachel Carson(1907-1964) If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today.

Our farm is at least a dozen miles from even the most basic of services. Therefore, I take weekly trips to the shop to get supplies. About a month ago, I finished loading up the car and was about to leave, when a piece of paper on the ground caught my eye. I picked it up and read it carefully.‎ It was a receipt (收据) from the State Motor Vehicle Division, recording the owner's payment of her Vehicle's Registration fees. At first I thought that I could find the owner. So I waited there for about an hour. Although the receipt had been swept by the wind, where would I find the owner in the busy, crowded parking lot? I looked over the receipt for contact or any personal data, perhaps a license tag (牌照) or telephone number. I checked the date, the fees paid, noted the name of the owner and pocketed the paper. I concluded that the best and easiest step to take was to put the receipt in an envelope and send it to the owner first the next morning.‎ ‎  By the end of the week, I received a beautiful "thank you" letter from a very grateful and happy woman containing a handwritten message and a card. In the letter, the woman explained how the wind snatched (夺去) her receipt from a pocket in her car's passenger door. She had searched everywhere for quite some time before giving up.‎ It felt great to know I had helped someone avoid a loss by doing something which at first glance (一瞥) seemed little and unimportant.‎ ‎25. What can we learn about the author? ‎ A. He lives downtown in Hawaii. ‎ B. He is patient and willing to help others. ‎ C. He is too poor to have basic supplies for his family. ‎ D.

How did the woman feel when receiving the author's envelope? ‎ A. proud.                B. disappointed. C. appreciated.           D. angry.‎ ‎28. What can be the best title for the text? ‎ A. A Lesson I Will Never Forget      B. Never Lose Heart or Give up ‎ C. Little Things Still Mean a Lot     D. Think Carefully Before You Act ‎ C One Sunday, my son asked me if he could ride up to his elementary school on his bike and meet his friend. He wanted both of them to ride back to our house so they could play video games and jump on the trampoline (蹦床). I have to admit, part of me wanted to say no. We could go to pick him up or his parents could bring him over here, I thought. But my son is eleven years old now.And after all, I do let him ride his bike to school. But I also drive my daughter to school and I can see him on the way, making sure he is getting there safely.‎ ‎ My husband thinks I am overprotective. I don’t dare to let my children walk anywhere without one of us going along. As you go out of our neighborhood, there is a shopping center across the street. My son always asks if he can ride his bike or walk over to the drugstore by himself. But crossing that street is just too dangerous. The cars fly around the corner like they’re driving in a car race. What if he gets hurt? What if some teenager bullies（欺凌弱小者，横行霸道者）are hanging out in the parking lot?‎ ‎ I want so much to give my children the freedom that I enjoyed having when I was growing up but I hesitate to do so, because there are dangers around every corner. Too many kidnaps(绑架), too many sex offenders(罪犯；冒犯者). I went online and discovered there are 41 sex offenders in my area alone.‎ ‎ I honestly don’t think my mom worried about such things when her children were young.‎ Growing up in the 1970s was indeed very different. I never wore a helmet(头盔)when I rode a bike. We were all over the neighborhood, on our bikes and on foot, coming home for dinner and then back out again until dark. We rode in the back of the truck and didn’t wear seat belts. I walked to and from school every day.‎ ‎29. What did the author feel unwilling to let her son do?‎ ‎ A. Ride his bike to meet his friend.‎ ‎ B. Play video games. C. Bring his friend home. D. Jump on the trampoline. 30. What does the author mean when she says "But my son is eleven years old now."? A. He is a bit too young to go out alone. ‎ ‎ B. He is old enough to be given some freedom now. C. He has reached the legal age for riding a bike. D. He can’t protect himself from road dangers. 31. Which of the following is NOT considered by the author as a potential threat to kids? A. The drugstore. B. Teenager bullies. C. Kidnaps. D. Cars racing by. 32. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. The social security back in the 1970s was no better than it is today.‎ B. Today’s children face less risk than those in the 1970s.‎ C . Children in the 1970s enjoyed more freedom than those today.‎ D. Children today are more obedient to their parents. ‎ D Teenagers are damaging their health by not getting enough sleep because they are distracted(分散) by electronic products in their bedrooms, according to a survey.‎ UK advice body The Sleep Council said "junk sleep" could rival（比得上） the consumption of unhealthy junk food as a major lifestyle issue for parents of teenage children. It brings no less harm than junk food to one’s health. Its survey of 1,000 teenagers aged 12 to 16 found that 30 percent managed just 4 to 7 hours sleep as opposed to（形成对照）the recommended 8 or 9 hours by the experts. Almost a quarter said they fell asleep more than once a week while watching TV, listening to music or using other electronic products.‎ ‎“This is an extremely worrying situation,” said Dr Chris Idzikowski of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre. “What we are seeing is the appearance of Junk Sleep ---that is sleep which is of neither the length nor quality that it should be in order to feed the brain with the rest it needs to perform properly at school.”‎ Nearly all the teenagers had a phone, music system or TV in their bedroom, with around two-thirds possessing all three. Almost one in five of the teenage boys said the quality of their sleep had been impacted by leaving their TV or computer on. The survey also found that 40 percent of teenagers felt tired each day, with girls aged 15 to 16 doing the worst. However just 11 percent said they were bothered by the lack or quality of sleep.‎ ‎“I'm surprised that so few teenagers make the link between getting enough good quality sleep and ‎ how they feel during the day,” Idzikowski said. “Teenagers need to wake up to the fact to feel well, perform well and look well; they need to do something about their sleep.”‎ ‎33. According to the experts, how many hours should teenagers sleep every night?‎ ‎ A. 4 to 7 hours     B. 8 or 9 hours     C. 6 or 7 hours     D. 7 or 8 hours ‎34. Which of the following is NOT true about “junk sleep”?‎ A. It’s a kind of sleep with poor quality.‎ B. It’s kind of sleep with shorter hours.‎ C. It’ s not as harmful as junk food to one’s health.‎ D. It’s mainly caused by the electronic products in the bedroom. ‎ ‎35. The underlined word “impacted” Paragraph 4 can probably be replaced by “ .”‎ A. improved       B. destroyed       C. affected       D. inspired ‎36. What should be the best title this passage? A. Junk Food and Junk Sleep B. A Survey about Junk Sleep C. Junk Sleep Is Damaging Teenager’s Health D. How to Avoid Junk Sleep ‎ ‎ ‎ E Are traditional fairytales good all the time? Recent research found one in five parents have abandoned those old classics such as  Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Hansel and Gretel and they prefer more modern books. One third of parents said their children have been left in tears after hearing the terrible details of Little Red Riding Hood. The survey of 2,000 adults was carried out to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM(格林), which starts tonight at 9:00 pm on Watch, and sees six series based on traditional fairytales. The research found a quarter of parents wouldn’t consider reading a fairytale to their child until they had reached the age of five, as they cause too many awkward（尴尬的）questions. And 52 percent of the parents said Cinderella didn’t send a good message to their children as it portrays (描绘) a young woman doing housework all day. Similarly, Goldilocks and the Three Bears was also a tale likely to be left on the book shelf as parents felt it condones (宽恕) stealing. Steve Hornsey, General Manager of Watch, said: “Bedtime stories are supposed to relax the children and send them off to sleep soundly. But as we see in GRIMM, fairytales can be dark and dramatic tales so it’s understandable that parents worry about reading them to young children. As adults we can see the innocence in fairytales, but a five year old with an over active imagination could ‎ think they are true. Despite the dark nature of classic fairytales, as we see in GRIMM, good will defeat evil and there is always a moral(道德准则,教育意义) to the story.” Though half of parents said traditional tales are more likely to have a strong moral message than a lot of modern kids’ books, two thirds of mums and dads said they were no longer proper to soothe youngsters before bed. On the contrary, they might give their children nightmares(噩梦).  37.Which of the following is TRUE about the recent research？ A. Steve Hornsey General Manager of Watch led the research. B. 20% parents thought old classics aren’t fit for modern children. C. People like more modern books because old classics are out of date. D. 30% parents were moved to tears after hearing some classic fairytales. 38. Why aren’t some traditional fairytales read by parents to children? A. They are forbidden to read according to the rules. B. They are difficult for their children to understand. C. They are too scary for their young children to hear. D. They don’t have any strong moral messages in them. 39. Which of the traditional fairytales tells one can get away with stealing? A. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.  B. Little Red Riding Hood. C. Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  D. Hansel and Gretel. 40. What’s the author’s attitude towards traditional fairytales? A. Objective. B. Supporting. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful. 41.The underlined word “soothe” in the last paragraph means “　　　　”.  A. surprise B. astonish C. stress D. comfort ‎ F Before I studied psychology（心理学）, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred．While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke．When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be． ‎ ‎ I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians （行人）crossing streets, everyone laughed their hearts out．The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly．The joke wasn’t only funny, it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians．That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got． The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it．For example, if you envy（嫉妒）one of your friends, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous(忌妒的) of him． In short, we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke．I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh．All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions, he will certainly like it a lot． 42. What did the author find out after studying psychology?‎ ‎ A．Only good jokes make people laugh.‎ ‎ B．Many factors lead to people laughing．‎ ‎ C．Funny things can make people laugh.‎ ‎ D．Laughter can make people healthy．‎ ‎43.Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians?‎ ‎ A．They played a trick on the pedestrians．‎ ‎ B．The pedestrians behaved in a funny way．‎ ‎ C．They could feel the pedestrians’ happiness．‎ ‎ D．Their emotion was approved of by the show．‎ ‎44.What does the underlined word “belittling” probably mean?‎ ‎ A．Annoy.‎ ‎ B．Blame.‎ ‎ C．Look down on.‎ ‎ D．Make up to.‎ ‎45.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?‎ A．‎ ‎ B．‎ C．‎ ‎ D．‎ 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。‎ Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock 46 Here’s how to make one. ● ‎47 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it's important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.‎ ‎● Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 48 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.‎ ‎● Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating(补偿，弥补)on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 49 ‎ ‎● Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record. 50 If not, take another look at other methods you could try.‎ A. Get a sleep specialist. B. Find the right motivation. C. A better plan for sleep can help. D. And consider setting a second alarm. E. If the steps you take are working, keep it ‎ up. F. Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day. G. Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the café to get coffee.‎ Ⅲ. 完形填空（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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。‎ ‎ Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength. 51 the story of this boy for example.
