My father was a highly educated, intelligent gentleman. He could debate or discuss for hours on almost any topic and hold your 31 in the process. I thought there was nothing he wasn’t 32 to do.
A few days before my younger brother’s 7th birthday, Dad planned to assemble(装配) a new 33 as a special birthday surprise. After nearly an hour of 34 the instructions, Dad was still unable to 35 the new bike together. Later he 36 the paper of instructions, 37 up his tool box, and decided to take the bike back to the local toy store and pay extra 38 to have it correctly assembled there. 39 an idea came to him, as he called out to Lovett, the quiet little man who cut our grassland.
“Lovett, have you ever assembled a boy’s bicycle?”
As Lovett walked towards the bike, Dad handed him the 40 . Lovett handed it back to him, saying, “No, thanks. I can’t read. When you can’t read, you have to 41 .” Less than 15 minutes later, the new bicycle was 42 assembled, with no 43 parts remaining. Dad shook Lovett’s hand, patted him on the back, thanked him, and hid the bike.
On the night after my brother received his shiny new gift, Dad announced at the family dinner table what had happened several days earlier. He took great 44 in telling it over and over again---he used it as an example of thinking.
He did not refer to illiteracy(文盲) , but strongly taught us to use
our 45 . The joke was on my father, 46 he was able to turn it into a learning tool, and I liked him even more after that incident. I also gained a new 47 for Lovett. To me he had 48 been the old yard man who didn’t 49 much, but after that day, he seemed to smile 50 , even walk taller. It’s amazing what a real nod of approval can do to lift people up.

A
Let’s pay a visit to some of the most amazing and unusual places in the world, from icy hotels to temples on the side of cliffs(悬崖).
Hotel de Glace — Canada
If you don’t mind the cold, this igloo(冰屋) style hotel is certainly for you. Nearly everything, including the bedding, is made of ice! This hotel is so well insulated(隔热) that whatever the temperature outside is, the temperature inside never changes more than a few degrees. It’s around 23 degrees to be exact. Since it is made of ice the hotel does have some dress requirements that can be found on their website. Arctic sleeping bags are provided for every guest, including children. For more information, visit the website: http://www.icehotelcanada.com.
The Tigers Nest Monastery — Bhutan
Built directly onto a cliff side, this ancient temple has claimed its spot since 1692. Rich in history, Tigers Nest is constructed around eight attractive caves on the mountainside. Most of the caves are easy to reach through the natural rock stairways. However, some are more difficult, and can only be reached by shaky rope bridges. Visit the website http://www.bhutantouroperators.net/taktsang-monastery.php for more information.
Dinosaur Provincial Park — Canada
Known to be one the greatest fossil locations in the world, Dinosaur Provincial Park has nearly 500 specimens (标本) in all shapes and sizes. The park itself has a vast collection of fossils and a unique natural ecosystem. For more information, please visit http://tpr.alberta.ca/parks/dinosaur/index.aspx.
Leshan Giant Buddha — Sichuan China
The world’s largest Buddha sits on the edge of two great rivers. Construction is believed to have started around the year 713, and at the time of this construction it was the tallest carved statue in the world. All 233 feet of the stature was carved from the surrounding cliffs and preserved in amazing condition. Even the 2008 earthquake was not enough to shake it.

I carry a Rubik’s Cube (魔方) in my backpack. Solving it quickly is a terrific conversation starter. I usually ask people to try it first. They just turn the cube over in their hands, not even knowing where to begin. That’s exactly what it was like for me to learn how to read. Letters and words were out of order. Nothing made sense because I am dyslexic.
The Rubik’s Cube has made me believe that sometimes you have to take a few steps back in order to move forward. This was a reflection of my own life when I had to leave public school after the fourth grade. It’s embarrassing to admit, but I still couldn’t always spell my full name correctly. As a fifth-grader at a new school specializing in what’s called “language-processing disorder”, I had to start over. I then spent the next four years learning how to learn and find strategies that allowed me to return to my district’s high school with the ability to communicate my ideas and express my intelligence.
Now, I can easily solve the 5×5×5. I discover that just before it is solved, a problem can look like a mess, and then suddenly you can find the solution. Early in my Rubik’s career, I became so frustrated that I took the cube apart and rebuilt it. I believe that sometimes you have to look deeper and find answers in unexpected places. The Rubik’s cube taught me that to accomplish something big, it helps to break it down into small pieces. I learned that it’s important to spend a lot of time thinking, to try to find connections and patterns. I believe that there are surprises around the corner.
Like life itself, the Rubik’s cube can be frustrating puzzle. So everyday I carry a Rubik’s cube in my backpack as a reminder that I can achieve my goals, no matter what obstacles I face.
56.The author took the Rubik’s Cube apart because ______.
A. he couldn’t work out how to solve it
B. he hated it and wanted to destroyed it
C. he wanted to learn how to rebuild it
D. he was eager to find the connections
57.The underlined word “dyslexic” in Paragraph 1 probably means a person who has trouble with ______.
A. remembering B. reading C. speaking D. listening
58.Why did the author leave the public school?
A. He had to take steps back in order to relearn the basic things at another school.
B. He was so crazy about the Rubik’s Cube that he wanted to solve it first.
C. His interest shifted to learning how to communicate with other people.
D. He was afraid to go to the public school because he could not spell his name.
59.The author carries a Rubik’s Cube in his backpack to ______.
A. start conversations with strangers B. compete with others
C. take it apart and rebuild it D. encourage him to succeed
60.Which would be the best title for the text?
A. Unforgettable Lessons About Life
B. Approaches to Solving the Rubik’s Cube
C. Accomplishing Big Things in Small Stages
D. Surprises Around the Corner
C
From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created:the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem. Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial(长期的) victims and martyrs(殉道者). They are leaves tossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.
If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.
61. People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they ______.
A. are ready to change their minds
B. can’t exercise control over themselves
C. don’t have the power to face their fate
D. are easily affected by windy weather
62. Losers would think that ______.
A. success is the result of hard work
B. their failure is only because of bad luck
C. working hard will lead to success
D. they don’t make efforts to succeed
63. It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that ______.
A. setting our expectations is essential before taking action
B. developing confidence is the key to future success
C. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D. whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes
64. The last paragraph serves as ______.
A. the proof of the author’s points
B. an introduction to another topic
C. the conclusion of the argument
D. a comparison between two views
65. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Develop our confidence. B. The secrets of success.
C. Success is a choice. D. How to achieve success.
D
Young sunflowers turn and swing every day. New findings add to evidence that the plants are animal-like. Harmer, a professor in the University of California at Davis’ Department of Plant Biology, carried out a series of experiments on sunflowers in the field, in pots outdoors and in indoor growth chambers.
By staking plants so that they could not move, Harmer showed that he could destroy their ability to track the sun. He also noticed that sunflowers prevented from moving were not as tough and leafy as those that were free to move. When plants were moved indoor with a settled overhead light, they continued to swing back and forth for a few days.
The indoor plants did start tracking the “sun” again when the apparent source of lighting was moved across the room. The plants could reliably track the movement and return at night when the artificial day was close to a 24-hour cycle, but not when it was closer to 30 hours.
When sunflowers track the sun, the east sides of their stems grew more rapidly than the west sides. At night, the west sides grew faster as the stem swung the other way. The team identified a number of genes that were expressed at higher levels on the sunward side of the plant during the day, or on the other side at night. A plant growth-regulating hormone, called auxin, appears to be a key driver.
The “dance” to the sun cycle obviously slows when the sunflower matures and its flowers open up. At that point, the plants stop moving during the day and settle down facing the sun in the east.
“Bees like warm flowers.” Harmer said, adding that the bees are
cold-blooded, so landing on a warm flower saves them energy and perhaps feels really good.
“The morning warmth changes the flowers in a way to make them more appealing to insects, perhaps causing them to release more attractive scents earlier in the day.” he said. “We’re currently testing this idea.”
66. Why did Harmer do the experiment on sunflowers?
A. To see how sunflowers grow up.
B. To show what sunflowers’ genes are.
C. To study why sunflowers track the sun.
D. To check if sunflowers swing in cloudy days.
67. What does the underlined word “staking”(Par 3) probably mean in ?
A. Tracking. B. Fastening. C. Preserving. D. Presenting.
68. What is the result of sunflowers being stopped from moving?
A. They won’t grow well.
B. They will grow faster than usual.
C. They won’t swing back though set free.
D. They will produce a number of new genes.
69. What would happen to the sunflowers if they became fully grown?
A. They would swing as usual.
B. They would move back and forth.
C. They would stop turning.
D. They would track the sun.
70. Bees are fond of dancing ______________.
A. on cold sunflowers B. in the circle of flowers
C. on warm sunflowers D. on the mature sunflowers

第三部分:写作
第一节:阅读表达(共5个小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
What will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology. With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Today’s leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.
In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cell, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometimes between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs (The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on—in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones).
It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.
71. What are the present major killers according to the writer? (No more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________.
72. What does the underlined word in the 1st paragraph “revolution” mean? (No more than 5 words)
____________________________________________________________________________.
73. How can human live longer in the future? (No more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________.
74. Why are scientists sure that the life of cells can not go much beyond 120 years?(No more than 20 words)
____________________________________________________________________________.
75. If human can live longer in the future, do you think it is bad or good for the society?(No more than 20 words)
