As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me?” I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.”‎ He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas.‎ As we came back to the convenience store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn’t know I could do this.” I told her about some of the other things I do (ski, travel the world by myself, etc.). As her father was taking her off my bike, she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, I’m going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things, and I will too.” Her father turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek. He hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.” I believed what he said. Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer.‎ ‎24.

A special gift.‎ C According to a new US study, couples who expect their children to help care for them in old age should hope they have daughters because they are likely to be twice as attentive overall. ‎ The research by Angelina Grigoryeva, a sociologist at Princeton‎ ‎University, found that, while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage, men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.  ‎ Using data from the University‎ of ‎Michigan Health and Retirement Study, a study which has been tracking a cross-section of over-50s for the last decade, she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours. ‎ ‎“Whereas the amount of elderly parent care daughters provide is associated with limitations they face, such as employment or childcare, sons’ caregiving is associated only with the presence or absence of other helpers, such as sisters or a parent’s spouse(配偶),” she explained.‎ ‎“Sons reduce their relative caregiving efforts when they have a sister, while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.” ‎ ‎“This suggests that sons pass on parent caregiving responsibilities to their sisters.” ‎ In the UK, the 2011 census(人口普查) showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities – a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade. ‎ But many are doing so at the risk of their own health. The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a full- time job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts(相对应的人) who are not careers.‎ 28. Where can you probably find the text?‎ A. In a popular science journal B. In a heal care guideline C. In a physics textbook D. In a tour booklet 29. According to the study we know that______.‎ A. American couples are preferring daughters to sons a lot B. sons are twice likely as daughters to care for parents in old age C. having a brother makes women less likely to do their fair share D. men tend to take less care of their parents than women ‎ 30. Which of the following statements is true?‎ A. The number of people providing care has increased by 6.5 million. ‎ B. More people have left behind their work to look after the elderly.‎ C. Many people who both work and care others can be threatened by health problems.‎ D. People shouldn’t take much responsibility to care for the old.‎ 31. What’s the attitude of the author in the article?‎ A. positive B. subjective C. objective D. negative D Why do people lie? Many psychologists agree that lying can start from childhood. There are various reasons why children make false statements. They usually tell untruthful stories to cover up the mistakes that they have done in the past. Lying is also a way to avoid receiving punishments from parents. If parents fail to reprimand their children for making up false stories, then there is a possibility that they will continue to lie during their teenage years. ‎ Teenagers lie because they want to be accepted by their friends. This is the main reason why they create stories that are not true just to become presentable and acceptable to other people. In some instances, teenagers tell untruthful statements to avoid criticisms from their families and friends.‎ As teenagers grow, lying becomes one of their habits. Their knowledge on making up untruthful stories becomes more developed. People lie in workplaces if they fail to meet the deadlines and if they fail to accomplish and do their tasks efficiently. Some of the common lies made in workplaces are getting sick and having emergencies at home. The danger involved in frequent lying is when it becomes a character. Frequent lying causes the development of the condition known to doctors as pathological(病态的) lying.‎ Pathological lying is a mental health condition, which is associated with individuals who have the urge to tell untruthful statements. Patients suffering from it make up stories about everything and anything. These individuals pretend to meet the standards of other people who they want to please. These patients cheat other people because it gives them an unexplained pleasure. One of the best ways of treating pathological liars is to help them tell true statements and stories at all times. This may be hard for them, but as they are accustomed to it, they will start to realize that they will be more accepted by their families and other people if they stop themselves from making up false stories.‎ ‎32. The underlined word “reprimand” in Paragraph 1 means “ ”.‎ A. satisfy B. criticize C. discourage D. praise ‎33. Teenagers tell lies mainly because they want to______?‎ A. avoid being punished. B. fool other people.‎ C. attract others’ attention. D. satisfy others.‎ ‎34. What are patients suffering pathological lying most likely to do?‎ A. They really want to play jokes on others B. They always like making up pleasing stories C. They usually want to show off themselves by making some statements D. They often suffer from some other diseases.‎ ‎35. How does the writer explain pathological lying ?‎ A. By showing some typical examples ‎ B. By predicting the future consequences C. By analyzing its causes and development ‎ D. By listing a group of phenomena 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。‎ There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. 36 . While others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths(缪见):‎ l I'll never lose weight—I come from a fat family Wrong! While we can't change the body type we are born with, we can't blame our genes for making us fat. There's plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families. 37 .‎ l ‎ 38 .‎ Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.‎ l Exercise is boring Wrong! 39 . The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that's fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.‎ l No pain, no gain Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something's wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. 40 .‎ A. And the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little.‎ B. I am fat because I burn calories slowly C. Anything will be interesting if you do the same kind of exercise.‎ D. If they don't, rest and seek medical advice.‎ E. And the main reason is that their parents are fat.‎ F. Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively G. Some people believe that they can't help putting on weight as they get older.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（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。‎ When I was young, my mom only had one eye.
