Finally, I dragged myself 36 .‎ The first thing I thought of after getting up was to 37 . I went to the kitchen and prepared a breakfast that was fairly 38 , but was still too big for my appetite (食欲)that day. I kept telling myself that I 39 eat.

We had 44 time, so I thought we could practise parking. I 45 , with the wheel hitting the pavement. After that, the little bit of confidence I had was 46 . I tried two more times, but did not improve much. Then we went towards the driving 47 site.‎ I waited twenty minutes—just enough time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my 48 . I wasn’t sure of myself at all. I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday.‎ The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite well. The 49 that came with it hit me like a wave.

The passage is probably taken from a _____.‎ A. newspaper B. textbook C. dictionary D. storybook B When I was at the age of thirteen, I had an opponent, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn't a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.‎ He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you're really like? Well, you now have that girl's opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”‎ I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a very clear picture of myself.‎ I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That's just for you.” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”‎ Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life. I've never had a better piece of advice.‎ ‎55. What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint (抱怨)？‎ A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her ‘enemy’ had said.‎ B. He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.‎ C. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.‎ D. He told her to pay attention only to the things that were true.‎ ‎56. What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?‎ A. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.‎ B. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.‎ C. Week by week she discovered more shortcomings and pointed them out to me.‎ D. She kept on adding new shortcomings to the list so that it was growing longer and longer.‎ ‎57. Why did her father listen to her quietly?‎ A. Because he wasn't quite sure which girl was telling the truth.‎ B. Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.‎ C. Because he knew that his daughter was telling the truth.‎ D. Because he wanted to show his anger by keeping silent for a while.‎ ‎58. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?‎ A. My Father B. The Best Advice I've Ever Had C. My Childhood D. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend C All too often, a choice that seems sustainable (可持续的)turns out on closer examination to be problematic. Probably the best example is the rush to produce ethanol (乙醇)for fuel from corn. is a renewable resource — you can harvest it and grow more, almost limitlessly. So replacing gas with corn ethanol seems like a great idea.‎ One might get a bit more energy out of the ethanol than that used to make it, which could still make ethanol more sustainable than gas generally, but that's not the end of the problem. Using corn to make ethanol means less corn is left to feed animals and people, which drives up the cost of food. That result leads to turning the fallow (休耕)land-including, in some cases, rain forest in places such as Brazil—into farmland, which in turn gives off lots of carbon dioxide into the air. Finally, over many years, the energy benefit from burning ethanol would make up for the forest loss. But by then, climate change would have progressed so far that it might not help.‎ You cannot really declare any practice “sustainable” until you have done a complete life-cycle analysis of its environmental costs. Even then, technology and public keep developing, and that development can lead to unforeseen and undesired results. The admirable goal of living sustainably requires plenty of thought on an ongoing basis.‎ ‎59. What might directly cause the loss of the forest according to the text?‎ A. The greater need for farmland B. The increasing carbon dioxide in the air C. The growing demand for energy to make ethanol D. The big change in weather.‎ ‎60. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “______”.‎ A. burning ethanol B. the forest loss ‎ C. climate change D. the energy benefit ‎61. The author thinks that replacing gas with corn ethanol is ______.‎ A. acceptable B. useless C. admirable D. impractical ‎62. What does the author mainly discuss in the text?‎ A. Technology B. Environmental protection ‎ C. Ethanol energy D. Sustainability D At present, more and more people discover that they are too busy to relax themselves. We have no time to tell a bed-time story to our children, or enjoy a nice dinner with our family, or take a break to think about how we live the precious life, or even meet friends. All we notice is that the distinctions that used to guide and steady us — between Sunday and Monday, public and private, here and there — are gone. We have more ways to communicate, but less and less to say. Partly because we're so busy communicating.‎ Maybe that's why more and more people I know, even if they have no religious belief, seem to be turning to yoga, or meditation, or tai chi. Some friends of mine try to go on long walks every Sunday, or to “forget” their cell phones at home. A series of tests in recent years have shown that their brains become both calmer and sharper after spending time in quiet rural settings.‎ In my own case, I often turn to extreme measures to try to keep my sanity (头脑清醒)and ensure that I have time to do nothing at all. I've not yet used a cell phone and I've never Tweeted or entered Face Book. I try not to go online till my day's writing is finished, and I moved from Manhattan to rural Japan.‎ None of this is a matter of principle or asceticism(苦行主义); it's just pure selfishness. Nothing makes me feel better — calmer, clearer and happier — than being in one place, absorbed in a book, a conversation, a piece of music. It's actually something deeper than mere happiness: it's joy, which David Steindl-Rast describes as “that kind of happiness that doesn’t depend on what happens.” That is the highest of the highest we have been longing for — The Joy of Quiet.‎ ‎63. The writer sometimes doesn’t anything because _____.‎ A. he is out of work ‎ B. he can enjoy himself in his leisure time C. whatever he does makes no sense ‎ D. he is worried about his writing ‎64. What does the writer mean when using the word “forget” in the second paragraph?‎ A. Trapped in busy work, they are really forgetful.‎ B. They think cell phone is not a suitable means of communication.‎ C. They leave their cell phones at home on purpose.‎ D. They hate modern techniques such as the cell phone.‎ ‎65. Which of the following is right ?‎ A. Slowing down to find deep-down joy is necessary.‎ B. The writer is unwilling to help others since he is selfish.‎ C. It is better to go back to the ancient times since we are so busy now.‎ D. We have more to say because we have more ways to communicate.‎ ‎66. What is the main idea of the article ?‎ A. To feel better, we should do nothing at all.‎ B. We can do some sports such as yoga to relax.‎ C. The importance of spending time in quiet.‎ D. The more we communicate, the better we will feel.‎ E When I was traveling around in Sweden several years ago, I was shocked by the large number of young fathers pushing their babies in strollers (推车)or accompanying their young children in parks. Later, I found out that this was due to Sweden's generous parental leave policy, which gives new parents significant paid leave from work and encourages gender equality in the workplace and at home.‎ The Swedish government provides a total of 13 months of shared paid leave for parents, paying them 80% of their salaries, up to a limit. However, this time must be split between the parents, with each taking at least two months off from work. By encouraging both parents to participate fully in child care responsibilities early on, this policy helps to reduce the negative effect of parenting on careers.‎ Most developed countries have mandatory (强制性的)paid parental leave. The United States does not, though some states do provide for some paid maternity leave. In the USA new parents face a difficult and costly situation, with limited time and money to care for babies. Our governments often talk about the importance of children and families, but our policies make it very difficult for people to have them without putting their careers and finances at risk. We should change this by establishing our own national paid parental leave program.‎ Such a program would not be free, of course, but it would be affordable. Sweden’s leave program costs just 0.8% of its GDP, a small price to pay for a widespread benefit for families. This is not a selfish proposal；I do not have any children and would be unlikely to benefit directly from any of this.‎ Parenting is not a universal choice. But it is a standard part of the life path for many. People should not be forced to choose between their careers and their family life, and women should not face unfair workplace treatment due to parenting. Early parenting duties shouldn't be seen as the sole responsibility of mothers. Instead, they should be a shared responsibility for couples. A generous parental leave program aimed at all parents is an excellent way to achieve these goals.‎ It is time that we established our own national paid parental leave program.‎ ‎67. What was the writer impressed by while traveling through Sweden a few years ago?‎ A. Many baby strollers in parks. ‎ B. Many homeless children in streets.‎ C. Many mothers feeding their babies. ‎ D. Many young fathers caring for children.‎ ‎68. Which of the following is true about Sweden's parental leave policy?‎ A. Fathers can take a 6-month parental leave.‎ B. Fathers can take a 13-month parental leave.‎ C. Parents are paid 100% of their salaries if they take parental leave.‎ D. Sweden’s leave program costs about 8% of its GDP.‎ ‎69. The passage suggests that ______.‎ A. high prices will be paid for the USA to establish a national paid parental leave program B. in the USA parenting is now seen as a shared responsibility for couples C. American women are sometimes treated unfairly in the workplace because of parenting D. none of the American states provides for some paid maternity leave ‎70. What's the main idea of this passage?‎ A. Swedes enjoy paid parental leave. ‎ B. Paid parental leave benefits new parents.‎ C. The US needs a paid parental leave program. ‎ D. Parenting is not a universal choice.‎ 第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分50分）‎ 第一节：完成句子（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）‎ 阅读下列各小题，根据汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应题号后。‎ ‎71. ____________________ all night reading the documents, he felt very tired the next day.
