I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father ’s requirement. Two weeks after moving back, we bought a boat and started fishing again. Fishing was one of the few things that we did while I was young and that we both enjoyed. It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us. We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before. Fishing has been healing the old wounds that have kept us apart. It is not important how many fish we catch. It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years. I’m 62 and he is 84.

Rather than trying to hide our shame or embarrassment, experts found that we are simply less aware when our actions result in a negative outcome. The research may explain why we often feel it hard to take the blame for our actions. “ Our result suggests that people may really experience less responsibility for negative than for positive outcomes,”said Patrick Haggard, leading researcher and professor of the institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London. In a series of tests, participants were asked to press a key. A sound then followed, either disapproving, neutral or approving, and they were then asked to estimate the time between the action and when they had heard the sound. Researchers found that individuals experienced different levels of responsibility depending on the outcomes. They also discovered they were significantly slower to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence, compared to when they had done well. “Effectively, we have found that we experience a negative outcome differently, not just retell it differently. We make a weaker connection when there is a bad result. And respond much more strongly when something good happens,”said Professor Haggard. When something goes right, everyone wants to take the credit, and when things go wrong, nobody is interested in putting their hands up. The researchers said our brain is “very much concerned ”with reward, as good results are key to survival. Although our own perception( 认知 ) of whether we are guilty of something or not is changed by the outcomes, this does not provide a defense if we have done something wrong. “Our experience of our own responsibilities can be misleading and can be strongly colored by the outcomes of our actions. ”said Professor Haggard.“We have to take responsibility for what actually do, not just for how we experience things. ” 28.People who don’t take the blame for their actions . A.always try to hide their shame or embarrassment. B.are only willing to take the credit when things go well C.feel less responsible for negative than for positive outcomes D.are less aware of what to do when a negative outcome happens 29.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

C.People were quicker to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence. D.Participants were asked to count the time between pressing a key and hearing the sound. 30.How is the passage developed? A.By giving examples. B.By quoting research findings. C.By analyzing cause and effect. D.By providing data. 31.According to the passage, a person who is concerned with reward is . A.awkward B.natural C.absurd D.stubborn D A team led by Professor Theoder Berger, from the University of Southern California, can now manipulate( 操 纵) brain cells in rats so that memories stored in the hippocampus, a brain area crucial for memory formation, are activated or suppressed(抑制 ). It ’s said that the technology could one day have medical applications. In the study, researcher first trained rats to remember which of two levers( 杠杆 ) they pressed first, then to press the other lever. As the rats performed the task, the scientists carefully monitored the electrical activity in each creature’s hippocampus to find the pattern of nerve-cell activity involved in making a solid memory. Using the same glass needles they had used to record the nerve activity, they stimulated ( 刺激 ) nerves in the same pattern and found that the animals ’ performance in the task got even better. The rats made fewer errors and were able to remember which lever was the “correct”one for a longer period of time. The scientists went a step further and suppressed the rats’ memories with a drug called Mk801, which caused them to forget their task. When the animals’brain cells were later stimulated with the“correct”pattern, they remembered again which lever to press. “What ’s really exciting about this study is that when they played back the ‘good’ patterns—the patterns when the animal got the task right — it did appear to improve memory,”said Dean Buonomano, an associate professor at the University of California. The final goal, Berger said, is to help people with stroke( 中风 ) and epilepsy( 癫痫症 ) and the like strengthen memories and to help doctors treat them. The technology might even help sufferers of post-traumatic( 创伤后 ) stress disorder. But first, researchers would have to show that they can stimulate or suppress far more complex memories than the ones in the rat experiment. “Here ,it ’s a simple task,”Buonomano said. In contrast, humans ’ memories are very rich and specific ⋯ “We have very many steps to go before this can be achieved,”he said. 32.How does “the technology ”in Paragraph 1 act? A.It manipulates brain cells. B.It stores memories in the hippocampus. C.It activates memories stored in the brain. D.It suppresses memories stored in the brain. 33.In what order did the researchers conduct the rat experiment? a.Monitor the electrical activity in the rat ’s hippocampus. b.Suppress the rat’s memory with a drug called MK801. c.Stimulate the rat’s nerves in the same pattern. d.Stimulate the rat ’s nerves in the same pattern for a second time. e.Train the rats to remember the order of the two levers they pressed. A.a, e, b, c, d B.a, e, c, d, b C.e, a, c, d, b D.e, a, c, b, d 34.When their nerves were stimulated, the rats . A.forgot their task B.completed the task better C.made no errors in their task D.remembered which lever they had pressed for a shorter time 35.What can we infer from the article? A.MK801 is a drug that can be used to stimulate nerves. B.The study is expected to be used to help stroke and epilepsy patients recover completely. C.Using the study to improve human s’ memories still face many challenges. D.Researchers have studied far more complex memories than the ones in the rat experiment. 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。 Teenagers are especially likely to suffer loneliness. Here are some suggestions for speeding a recovery from loneliness. Reach out to others, but start small. A smile and a friendly greeting for the student behind you in line at the cafeteria won ’t make you best friends. 36 It also can make it easier to interact the next time. Find a safe place to make connections. If going to the school dance makes you feel like you just don’t belong, try joining a special-interest group. Maybe it ’s the drama club or the marching band 37 . Find other ways of making connections. Lonely people hunger for acceptance and friendship. Sometimes feeling accepted and liked comes more easily when you do something for others. 38 Teach a child in reading. Take notes for a disabled classmate. You might be surprised at the connections you make after reaching out in these ways. 39 Loneliness is an absence of quality friendships, not of a particular quantity of friends. That ’s why it ’s important to know how to select a friend. The best friendships are those based on similar values and attitudes. You get what you expect, so expect the best. If you expect others to be friendly, you will behave in similar ways. 40 It goes away as teens learn how to find their way through their social world and connect with others. A.But it will make you both feel pretty good. B.So consider becoming a volunteer. C.Some teens aren’t so adaptable, however. D.Encourage people to be friendlier to you. E.Choose the right people. F.For most young people, loneliness is only temporary. G.Look for a group that allows you to ease in gradually. 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、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。 It has often been said that a person’s life is the sum total of their experiences.

A visitor came along who was 45 about what was cleaned in the home, but couldn ’t tell by 46 since the sponges all looked the same.

When the first sponge was squeezed, some cola came out, so the visitor 48 someone cleaned the kitchen with that one. Upon squeezing the second, he found motor oil, so 49 , someone was cleaning the garage. In the third, baby powder came out when it was squeezed, which 50 that the baby’s nursery was done. And 51 ,in the last one was wax, which was 52 on the floor. As the visitor laid the last sponge down, he again remarked on their similarity. They all looked the same 53 they were squeezed.

As we go through 57 , our “sponge”is filled with things we 58 through experiences.

For example, if two pieces of advice are given to solve a problem, one from a new friend and the other from 62 old friend, people always tend to adapt the latter one, 63 the new friend ’s advice may be better. 64 (disagree) with the old proverb, I believe that new friends are not 65 (necessary) worse than old friends. Why? Because the __66__ ( long)of time cannot determine whether your friendship is better or not. Once you call someone friend, he must be a reliable person,__67__ interests are in common with 68 (you). As time goes by, a friend ’s outside look may change, but the inside characters of him and his interests 69 (change). It is just these unchangeable characters and interests that make him a friend to you. 70 , on this point, there is no difference between old friends and new friends. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 35 分） 第一节 短文改错（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有 10 处语言错误， 每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（ ），并在其下面写出该加的词 删除：把多余的词用斜线（＼）划掉。 修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意： 1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2. 只允许修改 10 处，多者（从第 11 处起）不计分。 Nowadays, mobile payment is becoming more and more popular with our shopping.
