She came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during World War I when she was only 8 years old. During the trip she survived stormy seas，little food, and an attack by a German U-boat. After getting here，her large family worked hard to build a new life in America. They never had much money but were rich in love.‎ One day，when I was about 5 or 6 years old, my parents and brothers went on a trip. It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend. Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by herself. She made me a special breakfast that first morning. However, all I could do was to complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it. Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room. I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes. It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it. ‎ I walked over to Nanny, climbed on her lap, and for the first time in my short life I did something else too. I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me. She smiled, rubbed my head, and told me I was a good boy even though I didn’t feel like one then.‎ That memory just like my Nanny’s love will stay in my heart forever. It is a sign of both strength and wisdom. Asking for forgiveness helps us to learn, to grow, and to love.‎ ‎21.

And I have to admit that when I first started working at Sassy in 1987, I was excited about that part of my job for the first couple of months，anyway. Then I noticed how stars would fool me around for months. I could never get enough time with a star to find out anything interesting, and some acted just simply rudely. I started hating the way I was treated, and I was really disappointed to see that these people I had worshipped (崇拜）before were pretty ordinary. So I decided I would just tell the truth instead of keeping up their myths(神秘). If the star was a bad guy, I would say so. If I thought anyone was stupid, I did not hold back that information.‎ I thought readers would appreciate that kind of honesty. Surprisingly, many of them hated me for it. I have gotten so many attacks on my character. In their eyes, being famous is everything, even more desirable than being truly creative and talented.‎ Why do we need stars? In fact, the media created stars to satisfy our basic need for gossip ‎ (闲话). Over time, talking about people we have never met and we are never likely to meet has become what we are crazy about. Thus, some people are more interested in the personal lives of the stars than in the lives of their own family and their own friends. That is why it is so ridiculous when a star wants to discuss only his or her work in an interview-as we care. We want the dirt on their personal lives.‎ There is another reason we worship stars. As a whole, our society is not as religious as it once was. It seems that people need something to fulfill them the way religion once did. Star worship exists as an unfulfilling desire for true heroes.‎ We make them stars, but then their reputation makes us feel unimportant, and we truly feel better about ourselves when they die. I am part of this whole process. No wonder I feel soiled at the end of workday.‎ ‎28. What are the stars like according to the author?‎ A. They always treat others rudely.‎ B. They always talk about something dull.‎ C. They are actually ordinary people.‎ D. They are usually honest and polite,‎ ‎29. We worship stars because ______.‎ A. we need true mental heroes to support us B. we can learn something useful from famous stars C. we concern about the stars, family and friends D. we like talking about the stars, dressing styles ‎30. When the author is writing this article, his tone sounds ______.‎ A. excited B. angry C. worried D. calm ‎31. What is the main purpose of the author writing the passage?‎ A. To show the disadvantages of working with stars.‎ B. To remind us not to worship famous stars blindly.‎ C. To laugh at the failures of stars he has interviewed.‎ D. To talk about the reasons why we worship stars.‎ D Yawning（打呵欠） sends out certain messages -either “Oh, this movie is so boring” or “I probably need to get some sleep”. But did you know that a yawn can also help your brain to cool down when it is overheated?‎ A new study, led by a research team at Princeton University, has indicated that yawning could be the brain’s natural way of regulating temperature. People yawn more often when the temperature outdoors is lower than their body temperature but are less likely to yawn when it is hotter outdoors, according to Sciencedaily. com.‎ The research team did an experiment on 160 people, 80 in summer and 80 in winter, to examine how often they yawned at different air temperatures. The study found that people yawned more often in winter than in summer. Scientists say that when the air temperature is lower outside the body, there is heat exchange between the overheated brain and the cool air. But when the air temperature is higher than or equal to the body, people are less likely to yawn because the hot air they breathe in will make the brain even hotter.‎ When people yawn, their jaw is also stretched, which increases blood flow and may also help cool the brain.‎ The study showed that the amount someone yawned could be related to the amount of time they spent outside. The longer they spent outside in summer, the less they yawned. Nearly 40 percent of participants yawned within their first five minutes outside, but after that the percentage was reduced to less than 10 percent.‎ However, the result was the opposite in winter. The number of people who yawned increased when they spent more than five minutes outdoors. But the change was only slight compared to summertime.‎ According to Gallup, this is the first report to show that yawning frequencies change depending on season. This could help us to understand better the way our brains work. It may also help us understand the reason why frequent yawning can sometimes be a sign of brain disease.‎ ‎32. The research team did the experiment ______.‎ A. to prove people yawn in winter and in summer equally B. to indicate brain can regulate temperature naturally C. to find the frequency of people’s yawning D. to show the real reason why people yawn ‎33. The information we get from Paragraphs 5 and 6 is that ______.‎ A. longer outdoor summertime results in more yawns B. yawning frequency changes with outdoor time C. yawning frequency increases with outdoor time D. longer outdoor wintertime leads to fewer yawns ‎34. According to the text, people yawn more often ______.‎ A. when the air temperature is lower outside the body B. when the hot air breathed in makes the brain hotter C. when the air temperature is higher than the body D. when the air temperature is equal to the body ‎35. What could be the best title for the text?‎ A. Yawning Is A Sign of Brain Disease B. Yawning Carries Some Information C. Yawning Benefits Your Body D. Yawning Cools Your Brain 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概括每段主题的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Procrastination (拖延) is a phenomenon we are familiar with. When we procrastinate, we waste our free time and put off important tasks we should do till it’s too late.   36   Here, I will share some personal steps taken to overcome procrastination with great success.‎ Break your work down into little parts. Part of the reason why we procrastinate is that we find the work too overwhelming (巨大的)for us. Break it down into little parts, and then focus on one part at a time. If you still procrastinate after doing so, break it down even further.   37  ‎ Change your environment. Look at your work desk and your room. Do they make you want to work or do they make you sleepy?   38  ‎ Create a detailed timeline with specific deadlines. Having just one deadline for your work is like an invitation to procrastinate. That’s because we would get the impression that we have time and keep pushing everything back until it’s too late.   39   In this way, you know you have to finish ‎ each task by a certain date.‎ ‎  40   I’m pretty sure if you spend just 10 minutes talking to people like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, you’ll be more inspired to act than if you spend the 10 minutes doing nothing. The people we are with influence our behavior.‎ A. Seek out someone who has already achieved the similar outcome to your goals.‎ B. Hang out with people who inspire you to take action.‎ C. Having a companion makes the whole process much more fun.‎ D. If it’s the latter, you should begin to change your workspace.‎ E. It’s a bad habit eating us away and stopping us achieving greater success in life.‎ F. Break down your project, and then create an overall timeline with specific deadlines for each small task.‎ G. Soon, your task will be so simple that you will be thinking you can do it now.‎ 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。‎ As a teenager, I felt I was always letting people down.
