For one Spanish woman, it is a neighbor playing the piano. The woman has taken her neighbor to court. Now she wants to send her neighbor to prison for over seven years on the charges of psychological damage and noise pollution.‎ In a country known for its noisiness, the case has raised eyebrows. Neighbors often complain about street noise in Spain, but people seeking prison time for someone practicing the piano is unheard of. At the trial, sonia Bosom says she has been suffering noise pollution up to now due to the practice sessions of Laia Martin, who lives below her. Martin, 27, didn't admit that she played at home that often, saying she took regular classes in other towns and mostly practiced at home on the weekends.‎ On the first day of the trial, the newspaper reported that Bosom told the court she now hated pianos so much that she couldn't even stand seeing them in a film.‎ Bosom says years of hearing constant playing has caused her "psychological injury". Medical reports show she has suffered from a variety of problems, including insomnia (失眠), anxiety, and panic attacks.‎ She says tests by local authorities have found that the sound levels made by the piano are up to 10 decibels (分贝) higher than the limit. City authorities have asked the family several times to either stop the piano playing or soundproof (隔音) the room. The family told the court they carried out soundproofing work twice but the complaints continued.‎ The court hasn't made a final decision. A spokeswoman says the trial will end before May.‎ ‎21. Bosom wants to send Martin to prison because .‎ A. Martin's playing the piano damaged her health B. Bosom suffered from heart attack C. Martin refused to take regular classes in other towns D. Martin flew a jet over her head ‎22. How did Laia Martin respond to the complaints?‎ A. She stopped playing the piano. B. She soundproofed the room.‎ ‎ C. She didn't admit she played at home. D. She took her neighbor to court.‎ ‎23. Which of the following may probably be the best title for the passage?‎ A. A 7-year Sentence Caused by the Piano B. Pianist Charged with Noise Pollution C. Health Problems of a Spanish Woman D. Actions Against Noise by Local Authority B Winters are long and unforgiving in North Dakota. The winter of 1996 was especially brutal. It was a difficult time in my own life too. A neck injury had kept me flat in bed for nearly a year. "Just in time for Easter," my husband, Dick, said. But how could I feel the joy when the snow was four feet deep and I had months of painful physical treatment ahead?‎ I was doing the dishes one day, feeling hopeless when there was a tap against the glass. It was a branch of the troublesome cottonwood (棉白杨). Back in the fall of 1979, it was a new subdivision (细枝)then. The people who'd briefly occupied the house before us had placed the pipe from the pump next to it. The earth was so wet that the poor thing had fallen down, most of its bare root system pointing skyward, blowing hopelessly back and forth in the cold wind. Dick decided to pull it out one day, but I protested.‎ ‎"Look at how hard it's trying!" I said, pointing to the way it strongly kept hold of the earth. "It deserves a chance."‎ Dick borrowed some tools. We packed dry soil around the tree and put up some stakes (桩) into the ground, making it stand upright. That winter was still terrible. Surprisingly, in the spring my "rescue stick" put forth a few leaves, then with lots of branches. By the 1990s that little stick was a giant, towering over the house.‎ Now the tapping at the window continued, louder as the wind picked up, almost as though to tell me to look up. At last, I did. I caught my breath. In the window against the icy blue sky, thousands and thousands of fresh red buds were waving in the wind.‎ The tree was bursting with life and I had a wonderful Easter.‎ ‎24. What is the meaning of the underlined word "brutal" in Paragraph 1 ?‎ A. Busy. B. Hard. C. Long. D. Warm.‎ ‎25. How did Dick rescue the new subdivision?‎ A. By supporting the stick firmly. B. By watering the stick regularly.‎ C. By distributing chemical fertilizer. D. By lighting the stick day and night.‎ ‎26. The author writes the last paragraph mainly to .‎ A. inform us of the current condition of his cottonwood B. imply that he'd spent the hardest time and felt hopeful C. tell us that the tree had survived from the awful winter D. suggest what he was going to do for the coming festival ‎27. Which of the following can serve as the main idea of the passage?‎ A. A friend in need is a friend indeed. B. There is no garden without its weeds.‎ C. Success is the accumulation of sweat. D. While there is life, there is hope.‎ C ‎ Do you ever pull your phone out of your pocket, thinking it is vibrating (振动), only to find that it isn't?‎ ‎ This phenomenon, which scientists call "phantom (幻觉的) phone vibration", is very common. Around 80% of people surveyed say they have imagined their phones vibrating when they were actually still.‎ ‎ So, what leads to this universal behavior? According to the BBC, the explanation lies in your brain's ability to discover signals from the outside world.‎ ‎ When your phone is in your pocket, there are two possible states: it is either vibrating or not. Meanwhile, you also have two possible states of mind: the judgment that the phone is vibrating, or that it isn't.‎ ‎ Ideally, you match the four states correctly. However, sometimes your brain decides that the consequences of missing a call are more serious than a "false alarm". Therefore, you become more sensitive to vibrations so that you don't miss anything.‎ ‎ This is just like the fire alarm in your home—it can be annoying when it goes off in response to just a tiny bit of smoke. But that's a small price to pay compared to a fire really breaking out because the alarm fails to alert you.‎ ‎ Now, you might still ask: why can't our brains just make every judgment correctly without being too sensitive to false signals?‎ ‎ The answer is that your brain bears a heavy burden every day. "You get a large amount of sensory information that's coming from your eyes, ears and skin, and you can't deal with all that information all the time," Michael Rothberg, a researcher at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, US, told Live Science.‎ ‎ For example, the rustling (沙沙声) of clothing or the growling (咕咕声) of your stomach may both lead your brain to believe that they come from the vibration of your phone—it is like trying to hear your name being called in a noisy room.‎ ‎ So, perhaps you should just check your phone whenever you think it's vibrating. It's not too much trouble to do that, is it?‎ ‎28. According to this passage, phantom phone vibration .‎ A. is common among people with mental problems B. can measure people's ability to collect information C. happens when our brains react sensitively to false signals D. helps our brains to make very quick and accurate decisions ‎29. Why is the fire alarm used as an example in this passage?‎ A. To show us the fire alarm is as sensitive as the phone vibration.‎ B. To help us understand the cause of phantom phone vibration better.‎ C. To tell us the phone vibration usually happens when a fire breaks out.‎ D. To convince us it's important to check our phones like checking a fire alarm.‎ ‎30. According to Michael Rothberg, which is mainly responsible for phantom phone vibration?‎ A. A noisy background. B. A lack of much attention.‎ C. A heavy burden every day. D. An overflow of sensory information.‎ ‎31.What does the author suggest we do about phantom phone vibration?‎ A. We should always fully believe our own sense of listening.‎ B. We should just check our phones whenever we think they're vibrating.‎ C. We should ignore the vibration bothering when our phones are actually still.‎ D. We should think of the vibration carefully before we make correct judgments.‎ D ‎ So many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful event. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.‎ ‎ A friend of mine, recently told me that she hadn't spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn't speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, "I can't do that. He's the one who should apologize." After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ ‎ Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn "small stuff (问题)" into really "big stuff" in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn't mean that you're wrong. Everything will be fine. You'll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.‎ ‎ You'll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be "right", they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don't, that's okay too. You'll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you'll be more peaceful yourself.‎ ‎32. The underlined word "rekindle" in Paragraph 1 probably means " ".‎ ‎ A. recover B. develop C. accept D. replace ‎33. In the author's opinion, we hold on to our anger often because we think .‎ ‎ A. we can turn small issues into big ones B. our happiness is more important ‎ C. our own opinions matter most D. others will be less defensive ‎34. The best thing to do after a quarrel is to .‎ ‎ A. let go of our own fights B. realize that you are wrong ‎ C. expect others to give in D. apologize to others first ‎35. What would be the best tide for the passage?‎ ‎ A. Be Peaceful B. Reach Out and Give C. Small and Big Stuff D. Enjoy Your Friendship 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。（注意：选E涂AB F=BC G=CD）‎ Building Trust in a Relationship Again Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 36 . That is a risk. But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.‎ Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we’ve been suffered from, lied to , misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can’t ‎ trust anymore. 37 . It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.‎ l ‎ 38 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.‎ l ‎ 39 If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested or violated.‎ l You didn’t lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 40 Instead, It’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.‎ A. Learn to really trust yourself.‎ B. It is putting confidence in someone.‎ C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.‎ D. Remember that you can expect the best in return.‎ E. They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.‎ F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.‎ G. Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分60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。 ‎ I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters.
