But with due respect to my son’s feelings, I have the 48 of parting. I know something he doesn’t --- incomprehensible to the young. He is experiencing the 49 that come with beginnings. His life is starting for real. I have begun the long letting go. Put another way: He has a wonderful future in which my part 50 decreases.
I’m sure my father realized it at a(n) 51 moment. And I certainly didn’t notice or understand. At first, he was a giant who held my hand and 52 my sky. Then a middle-aged man who paid my bills. Now, decades after his passing, a much-loved 53 . But I can remember the last time I hugged him in his home, where I always had a room. I can only hope to leave my son the same.
My son, those days have been the greatest wonder and 54 of my life. And there will always be a 55 for you.

第三部分:阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

A
Homonym: a word that has the same spelling and the same pronunciation as another world, but a different meaning
Same spelling, different meaning
Imagine, then a situation where two words are spelt and pronounced exactly the same way, but have completely different meanings. Welcome to the world of homonyms. Take, for example, the word ‘fail’ --- it can be a kind of festival, and adjective to describe the color of your hair or how you should play a game.
Don’t take it literally
So how do you know which meaning someone is referring to? --- You don’t, except by the context. Obviously, if someone asks you to ‘give them a hand’, they don’t want you to remove what is at the end of your arm.
What’s in a name?
Sometimes even the context doesn’t help much --- the result can be amusing. These sentences play with the double meaning of a noun:
I used to be a banker, but I lost interest.
Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn’t control his pupils?
A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital. When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was, the nurse said: ‘No change yet’.
More ambiguity
And these examples play with the different meanings of a verb:
I wondered why the ball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.
No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation.
A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat.
Double trouble
And sometimes a word can be a noun and a verb, but have different meanings. Can you work this one out?
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
If you like these homonyms, you will be pleased to know that English has plenty more!
Explanations of jokes in the text
I used to be banker, but I lost interest. (I became bored with the job / I lost money)
Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn’t control his pupils? (students / parts of his eyes)
A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital. When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was, the nurse said: ‘No change yet’. (no difference in the situation / no money)
I wondered why the ball was getting bigger. Then it hit me. (the ball hit me / I suddenly realized)
No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation. (became known / fell out)
A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat. (can’t be better / difficult to mix with a fork)
Time flies like an arrow. (time goes quickly) Fruit flies like a banana. (insects enjoy eating fuit.)
56. Which of the following statements about homonyms is NOT true?
A. They share the same spellings regardless of meanings.
B. We can’t know their meanings without context.
C. We may still feel confused even with context.
D. Their ambiguity brings great trouble to our life.
57. The “beat” in the sentence “A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat, making for a satisfying breakfast.” has a similar meaning to _____.
A. The rain was beating down on the tin roof.
B. Taking the bus sure beats walking.
C. The doctor could feel no pulse beating.
D. You’ve been working too hard, you look dead beat.
B
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
58. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ______.
A. the reasons for success B. the meaning of success
C. the standards of success D. the importance of success
59. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.
A. work makes one feel pain B. one tends to enjoy his work
C. one gives up his work easily D. it takes a lot of time to succeed
60. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Successful people like to show their great skills.
B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
61. What is the main theme of the passage?
A. Having a goal is vital to success.
B. Being good is different from being great.
C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.
C
Phantom vibrations——the phenomenon where you think your phone is vibrating but it's not——have been around since the mobile age.Today, they’re so common that researchers have devoted studies to them.
For Valerie Kusler, who works on a cattle farm, the feeling is complicated by the cows. “The
cows’moo is very muffled, it kinda sounds like…errrrrr,” she says.“So that's very similar to what
my phone sounds like when it vibrates on my desk or in my purse.”
Other people may not confuse cows for their phones, but research shows phantom vibration
symptom is a near-universal experience for people with smartphones
Nearly 90 percent of college undergraduates in a 2012 study said they felt phantom vibrations. The number was just as high for a survey of hospital workers, who reported feeling phantom
vibrations on either a weekly or monthly basis.
“Something in your brain is being triggered(触发)that's different than what was triggered
just a few short years ago,” says Dr Larry Rosen, a research psychologist who studies how
technology affects our minds.
“If you'd asked me 10 years ago, or maybe even five years ago if I felt an itch beneath where my pocket of my jeans was, and asked me what I would do, I'd reach down and scratch it because it was probably a little itch caused by the neurons firing(神经元刺激),”he says. Now, of course, the itch triggers him to reach for his phone. Rosen says it's an example of how our devices are changing how our brains process information.
“We’re seeing a lot of what looks like obsessive behavior. People who are constantly picking
up their phone look like they have an obsession. They don't look much different from someone
who's constantly washing their hands. I’m not saying that it is an obsession, but I’m saying that it
could turn into one, very easily," Rosen says.
While 9 out of 10 participants in the study of college students said the vibration feeling
bothered them only a little or not at all, Rosen still recommends backing away from our phones
every once in a while to keep our anxiety levels down.
“One of the things I’m really adamant about in spite of being very pro-technology, is just
away from the technology for short periods," Rosen says."And by short periods.I mean, maybe just 30 minutes or an hour.”
62. According to the article, phantom vibrations_____.
A. are mainly caused by neurons firing
B. affect people mostly working on farms
C. help our brains better process information
D. started troubling people in recent years
63. The underlined word "adamant" in the last paragraph probably means_____.
A. curious B. determined C. satisfied D. cautious
64. It can be concluded from Larry Rosen's research that_____.
A. phantom vibrations could probably result in obsessive behavior
B. the use of smartphones has completely changed the way our minds work
C. most people feel uncomfortable when they experience phantom vibrations
D. hospital workers are more likely to suffer from phantom vibrations than students
65. According to Larry Rosen, the most effective measure against phantom vibrations is to_____.
A. move to a quieter neighborhood
B. stop using smartphones in poor condition
C. take a break from using smartphones occasionally
D. keep a close watch on your anxiety levels
D
A four-year-old girl sees three biscuits divided between a stuffed crocodile and a teddy bear. The crocodile gets two; the bear one. “Is that fair?” asks the experimenter. The girl judges that it is not. “How about now?” asks the experimenter, breaking the bear’s single biscuit in half. The girl cheers up: “Oh yes, now it’s fair. They both have two.” Strangely, children feel very strongly about fairness, even when they hardly understand it.
Adults care about fairness too --- but how much? One way to find out is by using the ultimatum (最后通牒) game, created by economist Werner Guth. Jack is given a pile of money and proposes how it should be divided with Jill. Jill can accept Jack’s “ultimatum”, otherwise the deal is off, and neither gets anything.
Suppose Jack and Jill don’t care about fairness, just about accumulating cash. Then Jack can offer Jill as little as he likes and Jill will still accept. After all, a little money is more than no money. But imagine, instead, that Jack and Jill both care only about fairness and that the fairest outcome is equality. Then Jack would offer Jill half the money; and Jill wouldn’t accept otherwise.
What happens when we ask people to play this game for real? It turns out that people value fairness a lot. Anyone offered less than 20-30% of the money is likely to reject it. Receiving an unfair offers makes us feel sick. Happily, most offers are pretty equitable; indeed, by far the most common is a 50-50 split.
But children, and adults, also care about a very different sort of (un)fairness, namely cheating. Think how many games of snakes and ladders have ended in arguments when one child “accidentally” miscounts her moves and another child objects. But this sense of fairness isn’t about equality of outcome: games inevitably have winners and losers. Here, fairness is about playing by the rules.
Both fairness-as-equality and fairness-as-no-cheating matter. Which is more important: equality or no-cheating? I think the answer is neither. The national lottery(彩票), like other lotteries, certainly doesn’t make the world more equal: a few people get rich and most people get nothing. Nevertheless, we hope, it is fair --- but what does this mean? The fairness-as-no-cheating viewpoint has a ready answer: a lottery is fair if it is conducted according to the “rules”. But which rules? None of us has the slightest idea, I suspect. Suppose that buried in the small print at lottery HQ is a rule that forbids people with a particular surname (let’s say, Moriarty). So a Ms Moriarty could buy a ticket each week for years without any chance of success.
How would she react if she found out? Surely with anger: how dare the organisers let her play, week after week, without mentioning that she couldn’t possibly win! She’d reasonably feel unfairly treated because ___________________.
To protest(抗议) against unfairness, then, is to make an accusation of bad faith. From this viewpoint, an equal split between the crocodile and the bear seems fair because (normally, at least), it is the only split they would both agree to. But were the girl to learn that the crocodile doesn’t like biscuits or that the bear isn’t hungry, I suspect she’d think it perfectly fair for one toy to take the whole. Inequality of biscuits (or anything else) isn’t necessarily unfair, if both parties are happy. And the unfairness of cheating comes from the same source: we’d never accept that someone else can unilaterally(单方面地) violate agreements that we have all signed up to.
So perhaps the four-year-old’s intuitions(直觉) about fairness is the beginnings of an understanding of negotiation. With a sense of fairness, people will have to make us acceptable offers (or we’ll reject their ultimatums) and stick by the (reasonable) rules, or we’ll be on the warpath. So a sense of fairness is crucial to effective negotiation; and negotiation, over toys, treats etc, is part of life.
66. From Paragraph 2 to 4, we can conclude _____.
A. people will sacrifice money to avoid unfairness
B. fairness means as much to adults as to children
C. something is better than nothing after all
D. a 30-70 split is acceptable to the majority
67. Which of the following does fairness-as-no-cheating apply to?
A. divisions of housework B. favoritism between children
C. banned drugs in sport D. schooling opportunities
68. Which of the following best fits in the blank in Paragraph 7?
A. the lottery didn’t follow the rules
B. she was cheated out of the money
C. the lottery wasn’t equal at all
D. she would never have agreed to those rules
69. The chief factor in preventing unfairness is to _____.
A. observe agreements B. establish rules
C. strengthen morality D. understand negotiation
70. The main purpose of the passage is to ______
A. declare the importance of fairness B. suggest how to achieve fairness
C. present different attitudes to fairness D. explain why we love fairness

请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。
When you feel disappointed, you should know it is natural and normal, and everyone will experience it to some extent in their life. Sometimes life deals us a difficult hand, and events and trials arise that we have no control over. Other times it is our own actions themselves that cause our trials. Regardless of the nature of our trials, disappointment is part of life’s journey and how we deal with it will largely determine the quality of our life. Here are some steps to help us to make our journey more enjoyable.
Firstly, redefine our rules. It is assumed that everyone has an internal “rule” in their mind. If our internal rules are too perfect, then they will discourage us greatly. For example, if we have a rule that says we need to be perfect, it is likely that we will spend a large amount of time feeling sad and disappointed. So when we feel disappointed, it is wise to review and redefine our rules.
Want an example of an encouraging rule? Try this one: I am happy and I am successful since I have made my greatest efforts.
Secondly, remind ourselves now and then of the reasons why we are seeking the very goal. As a matter of fact, there are many cases where we have forgotten our original purposes along the way. So it is of great help to remember the reasons why we are committed to a path in the first place when we feel down. By revisiting those reasons, we will likely renew our commitment and not get hung up on the disappointment of the moment.
Thirdly, think about our larger vision and recommit to it. Disappointment is merely a setback on what will eventually be a great and inspiring journey. So when we have those momentary setbacks, it is helpful to think about our larger vision and recommit to it. In our larger vision, therefore, a disappointment is a very valuable experience, which serves as a good educator and makes us more able to meet the challenges of the future.
Finally, reset and have a new start. Resetting and starting anew prevents us from abandoning ourselves to self-pity and forces us to get up and move forward. Don’t live in the past. Take what the past has taught us and keep moving. Wake up the very next day as if our whole life is ahead of us and we have the chance to start fresh. Nothing that happened in the past can stop us from creating the life that we have always desired or from accomplishing the goals that we are seeking.

参考范文
The message I get from the passage is that about the future people from Mainland China are most optimistic, which, as a good quality, is greatly emphasized in the picture.
I don’t think this result is surprising. In my opinion, Chinese people have at least two reasons to be optimistic. Firstly, China has a most dynamic economy and her people’s living conditions are constantly being improved, which increases their faith in the future. Secondly, compared to many other countries and regions, China enjoys a peaceful and stable social environment, the positive effects of which can never be overestimated.
