In childhood, we often linked fear with imagination, afraid that a monster was hiding behind the door or under the bed, or that an airplane would crash on our houses.
As we grow up. we’re often encouraged to think of __36____ as weakness. However, scientists have actually shown that human beings tend to be optimists. So maybe that’s __37____ we think of fear, sometimes, as a danger in and of itself. “Don’t worry.” we like to say to one another. “Don’t panic”. In English, fear is something we __38____.

So that way. if their worst fears came true, their businesses were ___53___.
And maybe if we all ___54___ to read our fears, they could offer us something as ___55___ as our favorite works of literature: a little wisdom, a bit of insight and a version of that most elusive thing —the truth.

After my pubic lectures on evolution, someone in the audience asks. “Are we still evolving?” People want to know if humans are getting taller, smarter, better looking or more athletic. My answer is truthful but disappointing: We’re almost certainly evolving, but we don’t know in what direction or how fast.
We’ve seen some evolution in our species over the past few millennia(千年), but it was detected by reconstructing history from DNA sequences. For example, we know that during the past 10,000 years, several populations of humans — those keeping sheep, cows or goats for milk — gained the ability to digest dairy products. This trait was useless in our earlier ancestors who, after babyhood, never encountered milk. And in the past 3,000 years, Tibetans have acquired genetic adaptations that allowed them to develop well in their high-altitude, low-oxygen home. But these well-documented changes are limited to particular populations, so the evidence for recent evolution of our entire species, remains not much.
The authors of “Evolving Ourselves” disagree. Not only, they claim, are we evolving faster than ever, but we’re doing it to ourselves. Juan Enriquez and Steve Gullans argue that humans have controlled evolution — not just in our own species but virtually in all species: “For better or worse, we are increasingly in charge. We are the primary drivers of change. We will directly and indirectly determine what lives, what dies, where, and when. We are in a different phase of evolution: the future of life is now in our hands.”
According to the authors, we’ve replaced natural selection with what they call “unnatural selection.” Overfishing, for example, has reduced the average size of many fish species, for taking the biggest fish selects in favor of those that reproduce when younger and smaller.
Yet while there’s no doubt that we’re changing the planet, the claim that we’re completely changing evolution on the planet does not follow. Let’s take those fish that are evolving to reproduce smaller and younger. This phenomenon has been documented in many species that we eat, but this is just a minuscule fraction (极小的一部分) of the 30,000 known species of fish.
The authors speak with unwarranted assurance about how our species is evolving in response to nearly everything. When they assert, for example, our ingestion (摄取) of drugs and exposure to chemicals mean that “our children’s brains are evolving fast,” they are overplaying their hand and abusing the word “evolution.” Out children’s brains may be changing fast in response to the new pharmacological (药理学的) environment, but change alone is not evolution.
58．The two examples in Paragraph 2 are given to ________.
A. show in what direction humans evolve
B. explain the importance of DNA sequences
C. illustrate the evidence for evolution of our entire species is insufficient
D. demonstrate how slow humans have evolved over the past few millennia
59．The authors of “Evolving Ourselves” claim that ________.
A. humans dominate the future of other life
B. fish become smaller because of natural selection
C. humans are to blame for changing the planet for the worse
D. the boundary between natural selection and unnatural selection is unfixed
60．What is the major question discussed in the passage?
A. Are humans still evolving?
B. Is unnatural selection powerful?
C. Are humans the main driver of evolution?
D. Does evolution require many genetic changes?
C
America’s businesses are getting older and fatter, while many new businesses are dying in infancy.
A study last month by the Brookings Institution found that the proportion of older firms has grown steadily over several decades, while the survival rate of new companies has fallen. In addition, young people are starting companies at a sharply lower rate than in the past.
A new report from the National Association of Manufacturers shows a major cause: The cost of obeying government regulations has risen to more than $2 trillion (12.26 trillion yuan) annually, or 12 percent of the GDP, and this cost falls disproportionately on smaller, newer businesses.
It’s risky, difficult and expensive to start a business, and getting more so. Governments are imposing various new rules on a seemingly daily basis: health insurance, minimum wage increases and, most recently in California, compulsory paid sick days for even hourly employees. These regulations shift huge social welfare costs directly onto often-struggling small businesses, while being proportionally much less costly for larger companies.
This is partly an unintended issue of resources-established companies can cope with new costs more easily—but it’s also deliberate. For instance, big insurance companies got a seat at the table to help write Obamacare, but less politically powerful firms—like medical device manufacturers-got squeezed.
Mature, successful corporations can employ ex-lawmakers with connections, distribute campaign contributions and even write regulations for themselves. They are also more likely to want to protect steady revenue streams than revolutionize their industry.
Major companies that have been so ill-managed they would otherwise collapse-airlines, car companies and banks—stagger (蹒跚) on because politicians ride to the rescue with bags of taxpayer money.
The genius of our unique system of government is the determination to protect and defend the rights of the individual over the rights of the nation. As such, the rise of a well-connected oligarchy (寡头政治) that protects big business at the expense of small business, and the established over the new, is opposite to American ideals.
Income inequality—which is directly caused by faulty government policy—is being promoted as the reason to impose more of that bad policy. But let’s be perfectly clear, we do not have a free market but one where government picks winners and losers through regulations and financial aids.
Politics is, and always has been, about balancing competing interests seeking to benefit themselves, and that’s as it should be, but the force of government should never be used to reduce competition, kill innovation or support and extend artificial monopolies (垄断) by harming the consumer, the taxpayer and the economy. Policy must breed our new and small businesses or see the as-yet undreamed of innovations that could be our bright future die in infancy.
61．We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. over several decades, new companies have grown steadily
B. mature, successful corporations prefer to maintain their stable incomes
C. less politically powerful firms also have their voice in making regulations
D. the cost of obeying government regulations falls equally on all businesses
62．We can infer from the last three paragraphs that ________.
A. the rise of a well-connected oligarchy is contrary to American ideals
B. the state economy may depend on those innovative businesses
C. income inequality is what the government should take action to resolve
D. the government picks winners and losers through the law of free market
63．It can be concluded from the passage that ________.
A. larger and older firms have a command of resources of various aspects
B. most of the ex-lawmakers work in mature, successful corporations
C. politicians like providing financial aids to the companies of worse operation
D. big insurance companies have better relationship with Obama
64．As to the development of smaller businesses, the writer is ________.
A. contented B. confident C. concerned D. convinced
D
The phone ID flashed, “Emergency Vet”. “Oh no” I whispered. I could not lose Merlin now.
Ron and I had tried to have children for a long time with depressing results. I threw myself into my work. Any maternal feelings I had were spent on Merlin.
I couldn’t wait to get home from work each night. I wanted to pick up that warm bundle of loving fur and nestle him. I wanted to sing “Rock-a-bye Merlin”, as I did every night as he would put his paws around my neck.
Merlin was my comfort especially at times when I wondered if God was listening. But last night something had changed. Not only did I sing “Rock-a-Bye Merlin”, but I asked, “What will I do after you’re gone?”
Although Merlin was 19 years old, a senior in the age of a cat, he didn’t look or act that way. I didn’t want to accept the fact that he was nearing the end of his lifetime. My job at the law firm was so demanding and stressful that I couldn’t imagine getting through the day without Merlin waiting to greet me at home.
I dialed the vet’s number. I asked for my husband but he already left. Then I took a breath and asked the question that no one wants to ask, “Is my Merlin still alive?” The nurse said “yes.”
Ron came home and said that Merlin had almost no red blood cells left. White blood cells were replacing them. Merlin would need expensive transfusions most likely on a monthly basis. We both knew Merlin was running out of time. I asked Ron to drive me to the vet so I could say goodbye to my little boy cat but he was beat tired and it was late. Ron said if Merlin was still alive the next morning then he would take me to the vet.
The next morning I called the vet. Merlin had survived the night. After driving to the vet, I went into the examining room. The nurse brought Merlin and placed him on an examining table on his side. His eyes were tightly shut. I thought he died already. I carefully edged my hand to reach his body. His body felt warm, but when I spoke his name there was no response. No response to his name or that I was there and that I loved him. I was extremely sad. In that examining room I felt helpless. I wondered how many people in an examining room felt as helpless as I did. Feeling driven to prayer I yelled, “God this isn’t good enough. I need to see my Merlin the way I remember him, I need a miracle and I need it now!”
At that moment, God granted a miracle. Merlin’s favorite compliment entered my mind. I said, “Merlin, You are Beautiful and You are Gorgeous, do you hear me?”
One eye opened.
I said “Gotcha”. I kept repeating those words.
Merlin opened the other eye and, one limb at a time, got up. He was waiting for that phrase. He
wanted to hear that he was beautiful and gorgeous again.
Then I experienced another miracle.
There was no sound in that examining room until Merlin started walking to me. From out of nowhere, or maybe from heaven, I clearly heard a song we sung in church often: “It Is Well With My Soul.” I remembered thinking, “Yes, it is well with my Soul. I got to see my little boy cat one more time.”
Merlin walked to me. He put his face in mine, which he had never done before. He rubbed a circle around my face twice. Merlin said goodbye with his face and marked me for life.
Ron appeared shocked that Merlin was up and had walked to me. I said to Merlin, “Tell God you are a good boy and how much we love you” and then handed him back to the nurse.
Tears of gratitude poured forth in memory of a miracle. You see for nineteen years God spoke to me through a special cat named “Merlin.” On Merlin’s last day, God proved he heard me when he granted a miracle. That miracle gave me time to say goodbye.
65．Ron’s wife couldn’t lose Merlin because ________.
A. Merlin was her adopted child for nineteen years
B. Merlin could supply her with comfort and warmth
C. she failed to give birth to her own biological child
D. she would sing her usual song to no one later in life
66．What did Ron’s wife think of Merlin?
①comfortable ②demanding ③long life ④full of devotion ⑤lovely ⑥religious
A. ①②⑥ B. ①②③ C. ④⑤⑥ D. ③④⑤
67．What does “The next morning I called the vet.” in Paragraph 8 imply?
A. The writer turned to the vet because Merlin was in desperate condition.
B. The writer was so hopeless as to ask a favor of the vet.
C. Ron would accompany her wife to the vet lo live up to his promise.
D. Ron did not care about Merlin so that the writer called the vet.
68．When Merlin reached the examining room, .
A. he shut his eyes lightly and was obviously dead
B. his body felt warm because the writer rubbed him hard
C. the writer chanted prayers to him trying to waking him up
D. the writer felt helpless to have no timely surgical operation
69．We can infer from the passage that .
A. we have to have faith in the church to get miracles in future life
B. God will not disappoint us if we are devoted to our loved ones
C. couples should have a child or something to fill in their free time
D. doctors may not always be reliable when our loved ones need their help
70．Which of the following can be the proper title?
A. The Miracle Granted B. A Dying Cat
C. God Accompanying Us D. Gratitude Out Of Miracle

Marketers have more options in today’s increasingly multilingual society — a variety of electronic
and print media can address groups of consumers in different languages. Various factors influence the choice of media and language. In some cases, it’s simply practical to advertise in the consumer’s native language, particularly if many of the consumers in this group are primarily monolingual. In other cases, by advertising on, say, a Spanish television channel in the US, an advertiser may earn the respect of the consumer by addressing him in his native language, as well as develop positive associations with the medium and its unique content. Now, marketers have another factor to consider when deciding where to advertise and in what language. A paper. Do bilinguals have two personalities? A special case of cultural frame switching published by researchers at the University of Texas, shows that bilingual individuals exhibit different personality characteristics when speaking different languages.
Lead researcher Nairan Ramirez-Esparza, tested individuals who were bilingual in English and Spanish for various personality traits, and found that the subjects answered the questions differently when asked in English and Spanish. The new work built on past research showed the values of subjects changed when they were surrounded by stimuli from different cultures.
How can marketers take advantage of “cultural frame switching”? It may sound challenging without specific research, but at least for Spanish, English bilinguals in the US, there is now some hard data on the language-related personality shift. Extrapolating to other language combinations may be possible, too. Since the Spanish/English bilingual results seem to be in agreement with testing of monolingual Spanish and English speakers, language-specific testing of bilingual subjects may not be essential to get an idea of what kind of cultural frame switching might occur in other bilingual combinations. Rather, comparing known personality differences for each language/ culture would give an indication of the differences bilingual individuals would exhibit.
I think it would be a mistake to over-emphasize this phenomenon over other criteria affecting the selection of appropriate media and language to reach a target market. Clearly, the major considerations of demographics (人口统计资料), perception of the medium, language fluency, etc. should remain major factors. Besides, the language-driven cultural frame switching may not make much difference to many products or services. If the product does attract one cultural personality more, though, it may make sense to exploit that difference of the other decision criteria are more or less equivalent.
The researchers point out that the differences aren’t great. Even if slight, though, the differences are noticeable.
Cultural Frame Switching: Different Language, Different Personality
Concept of cultural frame switching
Cultural frame switching refers to the phenomenon of shifting from one cultural mindset to another when people are 71． to their new cultural environment.
Applications of cultural frame switching
Cultural frame switching is a factor marketers now take into 72． to reach target customers.
Personality shift proves to be 73． for Spanish/ English bilinguals, which makes it not 74． to do language-specific testing of bilingual subjects.
Looking for the known personality differences between each language/culture would give marketers a better 75． of how bilingual individuals would 76． in two different cultures.
Facts about cultural frame switching
It’s wrong to put too much 77． on the functions of cultural frame switching.
Compared with other criteria, the language-driven cultural frame switching simply plays a (n) 78． role in marketing success.
Providing that a product 79． to a certain cultural personality more, the difference is worth employing.
Conclusion
The effect different languages have on personality is 80． but noticeable.

81. 请阅读下面短文及图画，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
On a sunny day a shepherd (牧羊人) walked with his two hungry sheep along a winding country path. He managed to have them two tied to each other just in case they should go separated. It was quite a long time before they arrived at a place where there was merely a small amount of fresh grass on each side of the path. Both of the sheep were so hungry that they hurried to the grass but in the separate direction as the picture showed. Unfortunately the rope fastening them was not long enough. No matter how hard they struggled, neither was able to reach the grass in front of them.
The shepherd was about to help them when he was surprised to find that one of them should voluntarily abandon the struggle, and went along with the other. Consequently, together the two sheep enjoyed the fresh grass on one side happily, and then the grass on the other.

第五部分：书面表达（满分25分）
81. Possible version:
The fable shares with readers a story about two sheep, both of whom choose cooperation rather than competition in order to have access to the fresh grass of different sides.
As a matter of fact, the fable mirrors that different attitudes may bring about different results. As an old saying goes, union means power. A chopstick breaks easily, while a bunch of them does not. Cooperation is therefore the best policy in any case because it can lead to a win-win situation, where both sides can gain benefit by virtue of joint efforts.
In my daily life, I often cooperate with my classmates when playing basketball, taking part in running races or going in for community-service activities. I learn a lot from my classmates and friends by following their advice. Meanwhile, I also do my part to help them in return. It is teamwork that helps us secure numerous victories.
