He never yelled at us for playing in his yard. I remember him as someone who was a lot nicer than most of the adults in our community.‎ When Dr. Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees. His house sat on ten acres, and his life’s goal was to make it a forest.‎ The good doctor had some interesting theories concerning plant care and growth. He never watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them so that each successive tree generation would grow weaker and weaker. So you have to make things rough for them and weed out (淘汰) the weaker trees early on. He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in search of moisture. I took him to mean that deep roots were to ‎ be treasured.‎ So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. Smack! Slap! Pow! I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.‎ Dr. Gibbs passed away a couple of years after I left home. Every now and again, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twenty-five years ago. They’re extremely tall, big and robust since they have deep roots now. However, the trees in my garden trembled in a cold wind although I had watered them for several years.‎ It seems that adversity(逆境) and suffering benefit these trees in ways comfort and ease never could. I stood there deep in thought.‎ Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I stand over them and watch their little bodies, the rising and falling of life within. I often pray for them. Mostly I pray that their lives will be easy. But I think that it’s time to change my prayer(祷词) because now I know my children are going to encounter hardship. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we won't be torn apart.‎ ‎61. According to Dr. Gibbs’ theories, trees will become weaker if they _. A. are lack of care B. are watered C. are weeded out D. are beaten ‎62. According to Para.3 and Para.4, we can infer that Dr. Gibbs’ motto(座右铭)‎ may be _.‎ A. “Seeing is believing” B. “Put everything in proper use” C. “Practice makes perfect” D. “No pain, no gain”‎ ‎63. Which of the following may be the author’s best prayer for his two sons now? A. I wish them strong wings, with which they can fly higher and touch the sky.‎ B. I wish them nice fortune so that they can meet people like Dr. Gibbs in the future.‎ C. I wish them deep roots into the earth since the rains fall and the winds blow often.‎ D. I wish them great shades under the tree since the sunlight is always sharp and bitter.‎ B Flying down a mountain at high speed is exciting. Being surrounded by beautiful, snow-covered scenery is peaceful. It is not difficult to see why skiing is such a popular sport.‎ Introduced to China just a few years ago, skiing has increased in popularity among sport lovers, including some high school students. Yi Dan, a senior high school student in Beijing, is planning to go to Harbin with her family and friends to ski over the coming winter holidays. “My father taught me to ski when I was ‎12. Since then I did it every winter,” she said. “I really like the feeling when you’re gliding down the mountain. It is like flying.”‎ While skiing today gives people a lot of pleasure and excitement, it was not invented for that reason. Skiing was started by people who enjoyed the feeling of pain.‎ Modern downhill skiing was invented in 1643, by a Swiss named Phlogiston. As a member of a small group of masochists (受虐狂), Phlogiston was not satisfied by common self-harm activities, such as eating glass. After thinking over the matter for some time, he finally announced to his friends that he had found a solution. “It seems to me,” he announced with a touch of pride, “that if we attached long pieces of wood to our feet, and hurled (掷) ourselves down snowy mountain slopes, we could really do ourselves some serious damage.”‎ Phlogiston went to the village blacksmith, who attached two pieces of wood to his feet. With this equipment, he managed to glide down a mountain before jumping into a valley never to be seen again. The success of the sport was assured.‎ Modern skiing has improved greatly on Phlogiston’s original idea. People say that a distant cousin of Phlogiston was the first to realize that skiing could ‎ be made into a business. From a su icidal act, skiing became a sport, and from a sport,‎ it became an industry.‎ ‎64. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Skiing’s origin. B. Skiing’s popularity. C. Skiing’s future. D. Skiing’s benefits.‎ ‎65. We can learn from the text that skiing . A. was invented in the 16th century.‎ B. was introduced to China not long ago C. was invented for pleasure and excitement D. is enjoyed most in China ‎66. It can be inferred from the text that Phlogiston _.‎ A. made skiing into a business B. put his idea into practice with friends’ help C. came up with the idea suddenly D. hated having a peaceful life ‎67. The underlined word “suicidal” in the last paragraph probably means _. A. self-killing B. creative C. self-taught D. helpful C Why do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity (长寿)? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.‎ The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic (神经质的) than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. Thes e findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough time.‎ Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas has no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.‎ Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.‎ Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother’s personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000‎ Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we’re adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.‎ Personality isn’t destiny (命运), and everyone knows that individual can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isn’t just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.‎ ‎68. The aim of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is __.‎ A. to see whether people’s personality affects their life span B. to find out if one’s lifestyle has any effect on their health C. to investigate the role of exercise in living a long life D. to examine all the factors contributing to longevity ‎69. What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people? A. They have a good understanding of evolution.‎ B. They are better at negotiating an agreement. C. ‎ They generally appear more resourceful.‎ D. They are more likely to get over hardship.‎ ‎70. What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation? A. Easy-going people can also live a relatively long life.‎ B. Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times. C. Such personality characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity. D. Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity.‎ ‎71. What does the recent study of Norwegian mothers show？ A.Children’s personality characteristics are invariably determined by their mothers.‎ B. People with unhealthy eating habits are likely to die sooner.‎ C. Mothers’ influence on children may last longer than fathers’.‎ D. Mothers’ negative personality characteristics may affect their children’s life spans.‎ D We all know a picky eater (挑食者) or two, or maybe you’re the picky eater, avoiding food adventures at all costs, because you’re convinced you’ll hate whatever new and bad-looking food is put on your plate. But why is it that some people are picky eaters while others are willing to try pretty much anything that can be eaten?‎ There’s no single explanation for the picky eating habit, but rather, experts suggest genetics and environments are to blame. Picky eaters are typically unwilling to try new foods, which can be the result of their DNA and upbringing.‎ Marcia Pelchat, Ph.D., says, “A group in Finland studied what we call food neophobia, which means ‘fear of the new,’ and they found that there’s some genetic basis for this.”‎ But neophobia can be greatly influenced by your surroundings, too. “If you have parents who don’t really like to try anything new, you’ll also be exposed to fewer new foods.”‎ People who are less adventurous may be more hesitant to try new foods, as trying anything new, food included, requires you to step outside of your comfort zone. ‎ ‎“There’s a thrill-seeking personality trait,” Pelchat says. “It’s been shown, especially with spicy (辛辣的) food, that there’s some connection between trying new foods and thrill seeking,” she explains.‎ Most adult picky eaters start as child picky eaters. “It’s normal for children to go through a picky stage when they’re very young, and that makes sense evolutionarily,” Pelchat says. When our primitive ancestors first tried new foods, they had to be cautious to avoid being poisoned. But as we get older, if we continue to avoid new foods, pickiness can remain.‎ For those who are simply picky, certain social situations can cause anxiety. “Adult picky eaters have trouble going to business lunches or someone’s house for the weekend,” Pelchat adds.‎ Your taste can change over time, but that requires taking a chance on new foods. But to even have a try at being less picky, you have to be committed. “The most common reason for wanting to change is social,” Pelchat says. Expanding your eating horizons can make everything from a date (约会) to a vacation easier and more enjoyable.‎ ‎72. According to experts, the picky eating habit is due to people’s _. A. DNA only B. upbringing only C. DNA and growing environments D. bad dining experiences and personalities ‎73. If one has food neophobia, he might .‎ A. eat only a few kinds of food B. have trouble trying new foods C. be addicted to some kind of food D. get poisoned if eating certain foods ‎74. Which statement about adult picky eaters is true? A. They’re often unwelcome in social situations.‎ B. They behave less picky during business lunches.‎ C. They all went through a picky stage in childhood.‎ D. They’re motivated to change often by social purposes.‎ ‎75. Which can be the best title of the passage? A. Picky Eaters and Food Adventurers B. Why You’re a Picky Eater C. The Bad Effects of Pickiness D. How to Change the Picky Eating Habit V. 阅读表达（10%）‎ 第二卷 I used to be a selfish girl and I only thought of myself. I did not care about helping others, but only about my look, clothes, money and grades.‎ One day, I was suddenly influenced by my neighbor, who is now in college, and ended up wanting to volunteer for others. He had so much fun with volunteering and told me that he felt extremely good after helping others. I hoped to get the same results, for I felt worthless everywhere then. I viewed almost everything in a negative way, and I figured I had to experience something that would make me appreciate things that I had.‎ I volunteered at the nursing home for a year where my neighbor volunteered. I brought snacks, coffee and games for the elderly patients, talked to them while sharing snacks, and played games like chess and checkers with them. Because they were Koreans, they often had trouble communicating with the helpers who were hired to help them. I sometimes translated things for them and offered to be their translator whenever they needed help.‎ By volunteering at the nursing home, I changed a lot. I realized how lucky I am to speak both Korean and English and that I should help other people learn Korean as well. I had learned many life lessons through volunteering. By helping others, I felt needed in society. Not only did it boos t my confidence, but it also allowed others to benefit from it.‎ Volunteering is a great opportunity to improve oneself, others, and the whole society.
