阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从21–40各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
Leaving home is both a good and a sad thing. It is a goal for every child and parent to eventually achieve 21 , but it is nevertheless sad when it happens.
One Sunday in August, my son and I worked to 22 his car for a journey. He would move across the country after twenty years of 23 under my roof. We started early, 24 our work went slowly into the afternoon.
25 I was carefully packing the car, the Sunday baseball game came on. Our hometown Cardinals were playing against the Atlanta Braves. 26 unhappy thoughts about his departure, I completely forgot about the game. Just then, my son called, “Dad, come on in. Let’s 27 the rest of the game.” Looking at his red-colored eyes, I 28 realized that he, too, found this to be a 29 time and that he, too, wanted to 30 one last father-son moment. I led the way to the TV set without 31 .
There, 32 , we found the Cardinals losing 3—1 . “How come? They won the champion last season.” He whispered without doubt. “That’s fine,” I 33 , wanting so much to keep this last moment before he left. “Let’s watch anyway.”
Then came a 34 . The Cardinals took the lead. In that one moment we were 35 , excitedly jumping up and down and experiencing a joy that I could 36 imagine happening on that bittersweet afternoon. The 37 of that day was replaced by enjoying an exciting baseball game. It was a wonderful feeling that made the day, the trip, our life, seem so 38 .
And then he left.
I believed in 39 moments that happen when I least expect them. Such moments appear and then disappear, just like my son as he drove off that afternoon to start a new 40 in his life.

第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
Many more babies will be born before the Year of the Horse ends, because couples in China try to avoid having babies in the Year of the Sheep, which starts on Feb 19, 2015. The reason: traditionally it is believed that “sheep babies” lead a difficult life.
The truth is, there is no evidence to prove that people born in a sheep year are more likely to lead a difficult life. Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs, and movie stars Chow Yunfat and Zhang Ziyi were all born in the Year of the Sheep. In fact, not many young people agree with the saying that the zodiac sign(生肖) has a bearing on a person's life. Yet many young couples are pressured by their superstitious(迷信的) parents into not having babies in the Year of the Sheep.
Superstition, as its dictionary description says, is a blind belief that an object, action or circumstance not logically related to a course of events influences its outcome. Many people regard black cats as unlucky when they are unlucky only for mice. The number 13 is considered unlucky in the West, but it was a number favored by ancient Chinese. The “rich” number “8” is viewed as lucky in China, yet it doesn't look different from any other number in the West.
But such is the influence of superstition on some people that they undergo cesarean section(剖腹产), even without going into labor, to give birth before the beginning of a year they consider unlucky. Doctors warn that cesarean section ahead of time breaks the laws of nature which could affect the baby’s brains and health, but some people ignore their advice. On the social side, the sudden increase in the number of births in one year will make it even more difficult for children to get admission
- 13 -
to schools and raise the demand for jobs when they grow up.
However, children born in a baby boom year can bring some troubles along with them because they will be locked in a tougher competition for educational, natural and material resources. To some degree, their competition begins even before they are born, because their mothers have to wait longer for their regular medical check-ups and to secure a bed in a hospital for childbirth.
In China where more often parents guide or even force their children to choose the subjects to study and the vocations to compete for, zodiac signs are of least or no importance. The really important thing is to encourage children to fly their imagination and develop their unique skills.
41. Why do many young couples in China avoid babies in a sheep year?
A. They are not fond of the Year of the Sheep.
B. The number 2014 is not a lucky number for babies.
C. Their parents ask them not to have babies in this year.
D. Babies born in the Year of the Sheep will live a hard life.
42. Chow Yunfat and Zhang Ziyi are mentioned in the text to prove that _________.
A. they were born in the same year
B. they don’t believe in superstition
C. they are successful people of the Year of the Sheep
D. people have misunderstanding of the Year of the Sheep
43. In some doctors’ opinion, if people undergo cesarean section in advance,___________.
A. it will have bad influence on the babies
B. they could avoid the unlucky year
C. it will go against the laws and they will be punished
D. it will be more difficult for children to be admitted to schools
44. In the last paragraph, the author wants to state__________.
A. the importance of choosing good subjects
B. the difficulty of preparing for competition
C. the meaning of making use of zodiac signs
D. the necessity of developing children’s abilities
45. We can infer from the passage that ___________.
A. children have no freedom to make their own choices in China
B. some Chinese people depend more on superstition than doctors
C. Number 13 in the West is considered the same as Number 8 in China
D. educational, natural and material resources decrease in a baby boom year
B
There are lots of extreme challenges out there, each as dangerous as the others. We have listed top 4 extreme challenges.
Top 4 The Yukon Arctic Ultra
The Yukon Arctic Ultra is a race through the Arctic covering 435 miles. Participants can compete on either bikes, skis or if they really want a challenge
- 13 -
they can compete on foot! This is in addition to carrying their kit on their back in temperatures between -20℃ and -50℃ with risks of snow storms and avalanches(雪崩). There is a strict time limit of 13 days to make sure nobody freezes to death although most end up retiring long before that.
Top 3 The Red Bull X-Alps
In true Red Bull fashion this challenge pushes the extremes. Known as the world’s toughest adventure race, it starts in Salzburg, Austria and winds through the alps to Monaco, by foot or para-glider(滑翔伞). This is around 621 miles as-the-crow-flies. Participants are only allowed to travel between the hours of 05:00 and 22:30. Participants compete solo and are accompanied by a two-man support team to help with food, logistics and moral support.
Top 2 The Patagonia Expedition Race
The Patagonia Expedition Race takes teams of four through previously unknown lands in the Patagonia region of Argentina and Chile. Participants receive no assistance as they cross the region by trekking, climbing, kayaking and mountain biking covering plains, mountains, glaciers, forests, swamps, rivers, lakes and so on.
Participants come from all over the world to compete in an exploration of one of the most untouched and deserted places in the world. The land is diverse, the challenge is real, the Patagonia Expedition Race really changes lives.
Top 1 The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge
Of course the number one extreme challenge is the 3,000 miles row across the Atlantic Ocean. Starting in La Gomera in the Canaries and finishing in Antigua in the Caribbean, Participants compete in four different classes: solo, pairs, fours and open. The challenge takes about three months to finish and is equal to going from London, England to St. Petersburg, Russia and back again.

C
Volunteering abroad is a great way to help others, improve your skills and become a more confident, independent person. Not only do you travel to an exotic country, you also meet like-minded people, and at the end of it you have something to put on your CV to impress employers with. But did you ever stop to think about how great it is for the people on the receiving end?
In this context, Daniela Papi has a point—foreigners rushing heroically to volunteer in a country they’ve never heard of are unlikely to make a difference. But turning volunteering camps into classrooms, as Papi seems to advocate in her article, risks throwing the baby out with the bath water of volunteering.
Rather, learning should be a natural part of the experience, and the key to creating such an environment is positioning everyone as equals. In order for that to happen, volunteers need great leaders who create an environment of equality:
When, a few years ago, I joined a group of international volunteers to help a small farming community in the Swiss Alps, we were all quite ignorant about the local conditions. But thanks to our group leader, it was both a helpful project for the locals and a fun and eye-opening experience for us．Before we had even traveled (at our own expense) to the mountaintop village, our group leader had spent time with the villagers preparing the project to make sure it would be of benefit to them. She arranged for us to help in different areas, ensuring that we always worked alongside locals rather than for them. It was never “us” and “them”, but always “we”, like a big family. As a result, conversation flowed and we learned a great deal just by casually talking to the locals as we worked．At the end, we left with a deep appreciation for the labor of love that goes into producing the food we eat every day—an appreciation we could treasure ourselves and share with our friends．
Volunteering isn’t about saving someone’s life, or even about changing it. It’s about touching a different world and reminding ourselves that there is much, much more to life than the daily routines we take for granted．With that knowledge, maybe, just maybe, we can go on to really change the world．
By Lukas Thibaut

A. blind enthusiasm fails to make the experience rewarding
B. foreigners are not welcome in some local communities
C. the author agrees with Daniela Papi’s opinions

C. creating such an environment D. a natural part of the experience

B. The volunteers worked in areas separated from the locals.
C. The group leader made sure that the project would be beneficial to both sides.
D. The group leader made sure that the volunteers got to know the local conditions．

D
The sun is shining brightly in through the window on her face. Mrs. Benet sat at her kitchen table, working a crossword puzzle. Crosswords were nice; they filled the time, and kept the mind active. She needed just one word to complete this morning’s puzzle; the clue was “a Swiss river,” and the first of its three letters was “A”. Unfortunately, Mrs. Benet had no idea what the name of river was, and could not look it up. Her atlas was on her desk, and the desk was in the guest room, currently being occupied by her grandson Victor.
Looking up over the tops of her glasses, Mrs. Benet glanced at the kitchen clock: it was almost 10 a.m. Land sakes! Did the boy intend to sleep all day? She noticed the pain in her wrist again, and put down her pen. Anyhow, at 87 years of age, she was glad she could still write at all. She had decided long ago that growing old was like slowly turning to stone; you couldn’t take anything for granted. She stood up slowly, painfully, and started walking to the guest room. The trip, though only a distance of about 25 feet, seemed to take a long while. Mrs. Benet arrived at the door to the guest room. It stood slightly open, and she looked through the opening. Victor lay sleeping on his side, his arms bent, his expression slightly pained. Get up, lazy bones, she wanted to say. Even in childhood, Mrs. Benet had never slept past 4 a.m.; there were too many chores (杂事) to do. How different things were for Victor’s generation! Her youngest grandson behaved as if he had never done a chore in his life. Twenty-one years old, he had driven down to Florida to visit Mrs. Benet in his shiny new car, a gift from his dear parents. Victor would finish college soon, and his future appeared bright — if he ever got out of bed, that is.
Something Victor had said last night over dinner had disturbed her. Now what was it? Oh yes; he had been talking about one of his college courses ——a “gut”，he
- 13 -
had called it. When she had asked him to explain the word, Victor had said it was a course that you took simply because it was easy to pass. Mrs.Benet, who had not even had a high school education, found the word unpleasant. If she had been allowed to continue her studies, she would never have taken a “gut” ...
The memory flooded back then, still painful as an open wound all these years later. It was the first day of high school. She had graduated from grammar school the previous year, but her father had forbidden her to go to high school that autumn, saying she was needed on the farm. After much tearful begging, she had gotten him to promise that next year, she could start high school. She had put up with a whole year of chores instead of books, with animals and rough farmhands for company instead of people of her own age. Now, at last, the glorious day was at hand. She had put on her best dress (she owned two), her heart racing hopefully.
But her father was waiting for her as she came downstairs.
“Where do you think you’re going?” he asked.
“To high school, Papa.”
“No, you’re not. Take that thing off and get back to work. ”
“But Papa, you promised!”
“Do as I say!” he thundered.
There was no arguing with Papa when he spoke that way. Tearfully, she had to drag herself upstairs to change clothes. Mrs. Benet still wondered what her life would have been like if her father had not been waiting at the bottom of the stairs that day, or if somehow she had found the strength to disobey him...
Suddenly, Victor moved slightly, without waking, and whispered something unintelligible. Waken from her daydreaming, Mrs. Benet stared at Victor. She wondered if he was having a nightmare (恶梦）.
55. From the second paragraph we know that Mrs. Benet felt it _______ to be getting older.
A. enjoyable B. terrible
C. unbearable D. acceptable
56. By saying “if he ever got out of bed” (Para. 3) Mrs. Benet thought Victor was _______ .
A. too tired to get up B. impolite to oversleep
C. promising but lazy D. old enough to help with chores
57. Why did Mrs. Benet dislike Victor’s use of the word “gut”？
A. Because it reminded Mrs. Benet of her grammar school classes.
B. Because it showed that Victor didn’t take education seriously.
C. Because it indicated that college courses were too easy to pass.
D. Because it implied that Mrs. Benet was lacking in high school education.
58. The year after Mrs. Benet graduated from grammar school was _______________.
A. spent entirely away from her fellows
- 13 -
B. ruined by illness and hardship
C. filled with travel and adventure
D. used for reading and writing
59. Mrs. Benet’s memory of the day when she prepared to start high school indicates that_______.
A. she had already decided to take up a job
B. she had strongly desired to continue her education
C. she had done especially well in grammar school
D. she had hesitated over her choice of clothes
60. The passage as a whole is mainly about _______________ .
A. whether Mrs. Benet should fight for her schooling opportunity
B. Mrs. Benet’s struggle to keep painful memories
C. whether Mrs. Benet will go up to wake Victor up
D. Mrs. Benet’s concern for Victor’s study
第二节：下面文章中有5处（第61-65题）需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的句首，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. We don’t care about the things we get easily.
B. It takes time and effort to be an expert in any area.
C. We should stick to rules undoubtedly and bravely.
D. Sometimes we have to ignore or break the regulations.
E. It takes great amount of courage to take the road less traveled.
F. You don’t have to live your life in a way society wants you to.
Most of the time, we learn the lessons from the old and wise as they have already been where we are and have done what we do. But rarely does life teach us something in an easy way. It always takes tests and then fails for us to learn anything worthwhile. Here are five life lessons which people will learn the hard way in majority of cases.
61. _______________________
People usually get discouraged when it takes more time than they thought it will. First and foremost, keep in mind that people refer only to those who have already achieved what you want to be, which most people fail to do. They look at other unsuccessful people and apply those criteria to them even before they take action. Look at any successful person and you’ll notice one thing common in all of them. They took time to learn and mastered their craft like no one else. There is no elevator to success; you have to take the stairs.
62. _______________________
Decades of old beliefs, customs and practices are being performed these days and are followed blindly without being questioned. Parents sometimes force their children to select a career they don’t want because other children have selected that career. Girls are made to follow some practices in their family which makes no sense to them at all. Worst of all, people follow them without even asking. There is no harm in
- 13 -
old customs and beliefs but when you pursue them before your interest, sooner or later you’ll realize that you should first do what you think is right.
63. _______________________
Undoubtedly, this is true in all the areas of life. Take health for example. Very few people take their health seriously. They know that if their health is lost, they won’t be happy, still they eat junk food and never exercise, keep accumulating fat and keep spending on weight loss programs. Still nothing works. Why? The real reason behind is that they have got health for free. We spend thousands on cars and take care of them nicely. Imagine what would have been the price of human body if we had to pay for it? And then imagine how well we would take care of it if we had paid a huge amount of money to get our body.
64. _______________________
More often, we are always asking ten people before taking any step. We always want to confirm that we are sure and do not make any mistake. We follow the same path that everyone suggests, do the same thing everyone does, and hang out with the same people we work with. Why? Because we are scared. But when you get bored with life, you realize that you are not meant to do what everyone does and that your destiny is different from anyone else’s out there in the world. However, it always takes a tremendous amount of guts to follow your own trail.
65. _______________________.
Rules are everywhere. We follow rules so that things are in order and no one is disturbed unnecessarily. This is true in case of traffic and other company rules but when it comes to your life, there are rules made by people who are scared to do something apart from their routine and therefore they made rules to prevent others doing so. But when time passes by and you think you are not being directed towards your goal and these so called rules are your biggest obstacles, break them down. Sometimes, we need to be bold and act courageously.

For a brighter future, numerous students say goodbye to their family and friends in China and board a plane for education abroad. As far as I’m concerned, the advantages of studying abroad outweigh its disadvantages if they can fit in with the life there. Xie Lei, the daughter of my neighbor, is a perfect instance.
Time flashed back 5 years ago when Xie Lei first went to study in England and came across countless difficulties. However, she soon got used to the life and was admitted to a world-class university there. Now she is doing an excellent job in Shanghai due to her international education background.
From what Xie Lei underwent, I can safely draw the conclusion that it’s wise to study abroad as long as they are able to cope with the difficulties.
