第一节(共 10 小题:每小题 2.5 分,满分 25 分)
A
It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The
crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth.
If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything.
I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my
six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort...
trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out
again, toward the house.
Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward
the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running
back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed
him on his journey.He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the
water he held in them. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them.
He had a much greater purpose. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing sight.
Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I
almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously
suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap up the
water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand.
I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known
working so hard to save a life. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they
were suddenly joined by other drops... and more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. It was
as if God, Himself, was weeping with pride.
21. Why did the author follow her son?
A. Because there might be danger. B. Because her son was doing a good deed.
C. Because she intended to help. D. Because she was curious.
22. Which of the following statements is Not True according to the passage?
A. Rain was in great need.
B. Billy carried water with his small hands.
C. There were few trees in the woods.
D. Billy walked into the woods and then returned over and over again.
23. At the end of the story, the author might experience different feelings EXCEPT that _____
A. Billy was a pride. B. God was touched by Billy's activity.
C. the rain should have dropped earlier. D. it was worthwhile to have given birth to Billy.
B
Robots are being used for the first time in hospitals. “Robot-nurses” perform a variety of
tasks such as delivering medicine, food and laboratory samples to sickrooms and taking away
waste. Patients aren’t treated by robots, as this is still done by medical staff. The idea is to employ
robots to transport supplies between departments.
“Nurses often have to break off from what they are doing to gather supplies,” says Peter
Seiff, who makes the robots called TUGs. Research shows any interruption in medical work can
lead to errors—a nurse may forget whether she has given medicine and may give a patient double the dose (剂量) or none at all.
The robots vary in size according to what job they perform, but normally take the shape of a
metal box on wheels, with a box on the side containing their software.
After being programmed, the robots are able to find their way around a hospital unassisted.
They also contain scanning technology to create electronic pictures or a “memory” of routes on
their hard drives to help them go through passages, doors and other obstacles. Each robot is also
monitored at the producer’s headquarters (总部) in case it runs into any difficulties.
Trials show TUGs reduce the time it takes for a patient to receive medicine, and stop drugs
from going missing. A study at the University of Maryland Medical Centre in the U.S. found that
when three TUGs were used over the course of a year, the average length of time from the
drugstore receiving a prescription to the patient receiving it dropped from 74 minutes to 30
minutes and saved nurses 6,123 hours finding medicines. It also cut the number of medicines that
went missing to zero.
“The biggest complaints we receive from patients is that the nurses don’t spend enough time
with them. Anything that frees nurses is a boon,” says Katherine Mulligan, director of nursing at
the hospital, “The TUGs allow nurses to spend more time focusing on patient care. Nurse
satisfaction has improved.”
24. Why do the patients complain before ?
A. the nurses don’t spend enough time with patients. B. the nurses often make errors.
C. the nurse often give a patient double the dose. D. the robots may interrupt the treatment.
25. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. All robots have the same size. B. Robots are unable to find their way by themselves.
C. Robots can do many tasks. D. Robots cannot get help if they run into difficulties.
26. What is the main idea of paragraph 5?
A. Experiments show “Robot-nurses” perform well. B. “Robot-nurses” can save time.
C. “Robot-nurses” can cut the number of medicine.[来 D. “Robot-nurses” vary in size.
27.What is the attitude of the author to robot-nurses?
A. disappointed. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. disapproval.
C When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding
the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached
adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better
marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.
These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from
Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more
productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained
competence ( 能 力 ) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George
Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about
themselves, others felt good about them.”
Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31
and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their
boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and
ability to deal with problems.
The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was
surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have
warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less
likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and
economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working—at any age—is
important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and
competence—the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that
people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who
know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live
magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one
loves and to love one’s work.”
28. What do we know about John?
A. He enjoyed his career and marriage. B. He had few childhood playmates.
C. He received little love from his family. D. He was envied by others in his childhood.
29. Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by _____.
A. recording the boys’ effort in school B. comparing different sets of scores
C. evaluating the men’s mental health D. measuring the men’s problem solving ability
30. What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Quick to react B. Having a thin edge C. sudden and rapid D. Clear and definite第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)
What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More Respect
As teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults, the transition( 过 渡 ) into
adulthood has begun. With so many physical and emotional changes going on, certain manners
are often forgotten and other adult traits (特征) are not yet accepted as a way of life. 31 By
doing the following things, you will earn more respect.
Contribute to the household
At the very least, clean up after yourself. As a teenager, you are old enough to clean up after
yourself. When you make a mess, clean it up. This includes, but is not limited to, your dishes and
your room. All chores (零星工作) that you do help to reduce the load of the person who did them
before. Now that you’re old enough and capable, why shouldn’t you contribute to the
household? 32
Be responsible
33 Whether they are basic things, like brushing your teeth or doing your homework , or
more involved chores that contribute to the household, simply fulfill your responsibilities on time.
When adults know that they can rely on you, their trust and respect for you will increase.
34
Instead of taking the easy approach and asking for help, make an effort to solve your
problems on your own first. The “easy way” is only easy for you, but it is an extra task for the
person from whom you are seeking help. 35 Depending on the problem, 15 minutes of effort is
usually a good guideline. When you become a good problem solver, you increase your value to
the community.
A. Everyone has certain responsibilities.
B. It will make your life more pleasant.
C. The people doing the chores before will greatly appreciate the help.
D. By being aware of these manners and traits, you can manage them sooner.
E. Solve more of your own problem without asking for help
F. Seek help only after you have made an honest effort to solve your own problems.
G. When speaking to a group, speak loud enough.

第一节 完形填空(共 20 小题;每小题 1.5 分,满分 30 分) I had worried myself sick over Simon’s mother coming to see me. I was a new 36 , and I
gave an honest account of the students’ work. In Simon’s case, the grades were awfully low. He

with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his 38 .
So when Simon’s mother entered the room, my palms( 手 掌 心 ) were sweating. I was
completely 39 for her kisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you,” she said, surprising
me beyond speech. 40 me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he 41
me, he had begun to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had 42 spent an
afternoon at a friend’s house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the 43 I had
nurtured(培养) in her son. She kissed me again and left.

50 of the room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention,
51 more, and became happy. And it was all because he 52 to be the last kid in the last row.
The boy who most needed 53 was the one who took the last seat that day.
It taught me the most 54 lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I’m thankful that
it came 55 and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
As is known to all, many things can be measured in terms of data. Sometimes data can
indeed tell the truth. With the help of data we can easily know the price of a can of Coke in the
supermarket or the result of a football match or the temperature of a certain day. Obviously, data
can make our life easier and more comfortable. What is more important, data seem to be fairer
than words or statements. If the data are true, we don’t have to worry about being cheated.
Nowadays, as lies exist in the world, data are expected to tell the truth. Therefore, many of us
would rather believe data.
On the other hand, if we judge things only by data from the so-called specific research, aren’t
we a little too narrow-minded? Many people often treat the so-called specific data unwisely just to
make sure that they are making the right decisions. But sometimes we may find that data aren’t
everything. For example, how can you tell that somebody isn’t a good student just because he or
she doesn’t get high marks in the final examination?
There are many things in our life which cannot be measured by data. For example, the degree
of your feeling happy in your life, the depth of love between you and your friends, and the faith
you have in your country. We can only feel them in our hearts but can never express them in data.
There is no doubt that analyzing the exact data is important to assessment of an actual event.
But data should be dealt with wisely. We often get wrong data which mislead us. We should try
our best to be wise thinkers. Remember, data have no feeling but we humans have. Data do not
mean much to people if we do not have the abilities to analyze the data with the knowledge and
confidence to judge whether they are true or false.
Data are data after all. Life is much more colorful than the pale data. So give the cold data a warm heart and we’ll find that the world is far more wonderful than the pale data can describe.
