A
The other day I was shopping at a local store and came upon a lady from India squatting (蹲下)on the
floor looking for a certain product on the bottom shelf. She sprang up when she saw me as if to get out of
my way. Apologetically she explained that she was a cashier at a nearby store and was on her lunch break,
trying to get a few needed items before her time was up.
I reassured her, “I am in no hurry. Go ahead and do what you need to do.” While she searched for a
particular brand, she said that sometimes customers were rude to her at the store and she really appreciatedmy kindness. I told her that I had noticed cashiers being treated rudely by some people.
I also explained to her that I was a retired nurse and understood some of what she was saying first
hand. Sometimes patients, families, or doctors could be very rude or mean. But I tried to understand why
they were feeling that way and let it go. “The world would be a better place if we all acted kindly toward
each other. Those who are rude may have bad karma coming after them eventually.” I added.
She nodded and was surprised, “So you know about karma?” My reply was simple. “A little bit. Karma
is the same thing as doing something bad and it comes back to bite you on the butt.” She paused, looked
puzzled, then broke out in a big smile and covered her mouth with her hand, laughing as she walked away.
It felt so good that in a brief exchange I showed her there were kind people in the world, which might
have helped her regain her faith in humanity.
21. How did the lady react when she saw the author in the store?
A. She apologized for her rude manners. B. She invited her to have lunch together.
C. She stood up trying to make way for her. D. She kept searching for the needed product.
22. Which of the following best describes the author?
A. Kind and understanding. B. Courageous and warm-hearted.
C. Responsible and humorous. D. Sympathetic and open-minded.
23. What is the main message the author wants to convey?
A. Working as a cashier is no easy job.
B. Those who are rude deserve bad karma.
C. Doing acts of kindness will make people feel good.
D. We should treat others the way we want to be treated.
B
At around six months old, Steven chewed off part of his tongue. As he got older, he would bang his
head against walls. His parents made him wear a helmet and put his arms and legs in long socks. His
younger brother, Chris, had many of the symptoms. A day rarely passed when one of them didn’t bleed. The
boys were eventually diagnosed with congenital(先天的)insensitivity to pain.
In the meantime, outside Vancouver, British Columbia, a small company was inching toward a
break-through in understanding the brothers’ condition. The company, which is now called Xenon
Pharmaceuticals, studied rare single-gene disorders in an effort to create drugs to treat more common
diseases with similar symptoms.
In 2001, it heard about a family in Newfoundland in which four members could not feel pain. Suspecting
their illness was genetic, Xenon started hunting for more subjects. Following news reports and word of mouth,
the researchers tracked down and studied 12 families with insensitivity to pain. Xenon found one common
characteristic: mutations(突变)in a single gene, SCN9A, and the channel it encodes, Navl. 7.
“This single channel, when it is non-functioning in human beings, makes them unable to understand or
feel any form of pain,” Robin Sherrington, PHD, then senior director of bio-logical sciences at Xenon, says.
If Xenon could develop a drug — “to inhibit(抑制)the Navl. 7 channel to partly copy that absence of pain,”
he explains—it could help to relieve pain without any of the side effects of painkillers.
“I was overwhelmed when we saw both sides of the genetic coin,” Dr. Waxman remembers. “SCN9A
really is a master gene for pain.”24. Why are Steven and Chris mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce a genetic disease.
B. To show sympathy for their sufferings.
C. To make a comparison between the brothers.
D. To inform parents how to deal with kids’ injuries.
25. If a drug prohibits the Navl. 7 channel from functioning, .
A. genetic diseases will be cured B. people will be numb to any pain
C. it will arouse negative emotional feelings D. people will suffer from strong side effects
26. What can we learn from the text?
A. The structure of a gene is like a coin.
B. Painkillers seldom work on genetic diseases.
C. Gene mutations may provide medical inspirations.
D. Great breakthroughs have been made in the treatment of pain.
C
Why can people speaking the same language have such different accents? The short answer: new
accents begin to develop when isolated( 隔 绝 的 )groups of speakers start making nearly unnoticeable
changes to the way they pronounce words.
“Accent development is the first step in language change. Fifteen hundred years ago, languages like
English, Dutch and Swedish were actually all dialects of the same language, but of course then they
changed over time.” Jonathan Harrington, a linguist(语言学家)in University of Munich, is interested in
how accents first get started. But because of global communication, most communities are no longer
linguistically isolated, and recording equipment didn’t exist back when more of them were.
So how to capture the early stages of accent formation today? Harrington and his team turned to
members of the British Antarctic Survey, who speak with a variety of English accents. “When you are in
Antarctica during the winter period, there is no way in and no way out. So they were isolated together and
they had to communicate and cooperate with each other.” Harrington’s team recorded the winterers reciting
a list of words before they left for Antarctica. Then, while there, the winterers recorded themselves saying
the same words four more times. The linguists then analyzed the recordings.
Even during their short time in Antarctica, the way the winterers produced certain vowels (元音)began to
converge. For example, at the beginning of the study, some people produced the /u/ in “food” at the front of
the mouth while others used the back of the mouth. But they began to sound more similar over time.
Harrington says the research isn’t just relevant for understanding Earth’s colonial past. He thinks
there’s every reason to expect long isolation will cause astronauts on Mars missions to end up with an out-
of-this world accent.
27. What makes it hard to know how accents first started?
A. The lack of recordings in the past.
B. The isolation of most communities.
C. The fast development of new accents.
D. The big number of dialects of the same language.
28. What does the underlined word “converge” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Become simpler. B. Become similar. C. Get worse. D. Get improved.29. What may happen to astronauts returning from the Mars after a long stay there?
A. They feel much lonelier than ever before.
B. They can’t understand their mother tongue.
C. They speak with accents quite different from the locals’.
D. They don’t have any difficulty adjusting to the life on Earth.
30. Where is text probably from?
A. A guidebook. B. A news report. C. A magazine. D. A history book.

Say Goodbye to Post-holiday Syndrome
You’ve spent countless days waking up late, enjoying watching your favorite TV shows and lying on the
beach. 31 It’s time to go back to work. Here are some tips to make the shift from vacation to work
smoother.
Tidy up your work-space first.
Chances are you’ll be greeted by piles of unopened mail, files, and other office items sitting on your desk.
32 The longer you wait, the more likely these items will be sitting around your desk later in the week.
33
You may feel the urge to work on three different things at the same time in order to catch up on work.
However, this is not the most efficient approach. Instead, you should make a point to focus your mind and
to only work on one item or task at a time.
Remove unnecessary distractions.
It’s incredibly important to get serious about cutting out obvious distractions. This way, you can catch
up on things efficiently without being bothered every five minutes. 34
Make plans to enjoy yourself the first week back.
35 Scheduling a lunch date or two with friends can make the week back seem a bit less painful.
Treat yourself to your favorite drink at the local caféduring your cof fee break.
It may take several days for you to finally get readjusted and that’s perfectly fine. Stay calm, focused
and relaxed. You’ll be back to your old routine at work before you know it.
A. Do one thing at a time.
B. Make a list of tasks based on their importance.
C. Then you suddenly come to an uncomfortable realization.
D. So it’s a good idea to attend to these items as soon as you can.
E. You’re back at work, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy yourself.
F. Rather than ignoring these items, take a few minutes to process them.
G. Switch off your cell phone, and close out of any social media accounts.

There’s a gigantic study that’s been done in 38 cultures. 56 turns out that in every culture, bothmales and females desire their potential mates to be bright. But we don’t have our IQs 57 (print) on
our forehead. How do we know that someone’s 58 (intelligence)? In Western cultures, at least, it’s
often by the person’s sense of humor. Because creating and appreciating jokes both require us to make 59
(connect) between many separate pieces of information, 60 (have) a sense of humor shows that we
possess a wide knowledge and 61 we know how to think about things in novel and creative ways.
Take a cartoon 62 example: a mouse is standing outside his house, having just pulled a gun on
a cat, who pretends to give in by raising one paw ( 爪 ). “Six rounds. Nine lives. You do the math,” the cat
says. In order to appreciate this joke, you need to know that mice are 63 (usual) the victims of cats,
many guns have six bullets( 子 弹 ), and cats 64 (say) to have nine lives because of their ability to
always land on their feet. You also need to be able to do some math 65 (understand) that the cat has
the advantage in this scene after all.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
In 1968, I was a student at the Levon & Sophia Hagopian Armenian High School in Beirut. When the
time came to register for tenth grade, I went to the principal’s office and told the staff my parents could
not pay the tuition( 学 费 ). Although I was the top student in my class, I was sent home. This was a
heartbreaking experience, as I loved being in school and desperately wanted to continue my education.
I went home and spent the day helping my father at his tire-repair shop. He could barely earn enough
to pay the tuition of my two brothers.
A very old man saw me in the shop and wondered why I was not in school. I told him I was sent home
because of lack of funding. He offered to help by calling the principal of another school to ask him to
register me tuition-free. Even though the school was far away from my home, I could not pass up the
opportunity to continue my education.I took a city bus to downtown Beirut and went to the principal’s office. Embarrassed to tell him that I
was supposed to get free tuition, I told the principal that arrangements had been made for me to study at a
discounted tuition. I was shocked when the principal screamed at me that there was no such thing as a
discounted tuition. I immediately turned around and rushed back to my father’s tire shop. It was at that
moment that my hope was totally ruined.
However, things took an unexpected turn three days later. One of my classmates from Sophia came
over. Our principal had sent her to tell me that I should come back to school. When I arrived, I told the
registrar (教务主任) that I could not pay the tuition. She informed me that my tuition was fully paid and
that I should join my classmates. I asked who had paid it so I could thank that wonderful individual. But I
was told that the benefactor wanted to remain anonymous (匿名) and keep it a secret.

Paragraph 1：
Yours,
Li Hua
I went to my classroom, feeling extremely puzzled. I kept wondering who had been so kind to give me
this golden opportunity to continue my education. I went back to the principal’s office after classes and
begged the registrar to disclose the name of the benefactor. Hard as I tried to talk her into giving me a clue,
she insisted that she had to keep the secret. Then I had no alternative but to make a promise that I wouldn’t
go and thank the person and risk the registrar’s getting fired for breaking confidentiality.
Paragraph 2：
The registrar was finally persuaded to inform me that it was my teacher, Ms. Balian. She went on
explaining that when the school year started and Ms. Balian noticed my desk was empty, she inquired why I was not in school. After learning the truth, she then told the principal to deduct my tuition from her salary.
The whole year I sat in Ms. Balian’s class, but was unable to express my appreciation for her kind gesture.
Yet I would never forget the kindness and generosity, without which I probably would have spent the rest
of my life repairing tires at my father’s tire-repair shop.答案解析

then.

W: Henry, I heard you saved your little brother’s life last night. Could you tell me what exactly happened?
M: Yes, Mrs. Brown. I was in my bedroom playing the guitar with my friend Jason and my three-year-old
brother Mike, when my brother put a piece of a toy in his mouth.
W: When did you notice it?
M: I didn’t notice until I found he was fighting for
breath. W: What did you do?
M: I immediately asked Jason to find my father, who was somewhere near the house. But then I saw Mike
was turning purple.
W: You must have been very worried.
M: Certainly. But I knew what I should do. Luckily, I’d learned how to perform first-aid skills. Finally, I
helped Mike cough up that little thing.
W: You’re really great! Without you, your brother might have been in great
danger. M: Yes. When my father finally came, Mike was crying but he was totally
fine.
W: Good. Can you share your story a bit later in class
today? M: Certainly, Mrs. Brown.

M: Can you tell me some interesting activities in the library?
W: Yes. We offer a lot of activities and the most popular one is Story Time for children. It takes place in the
Children’s Room on Thursday mornings at eleven.M: Isn’t there a family movie night?W: Yes. But it’s not at night anymore. We used to have Family Movies on Fridays when the library is open
until nine, but now we have a different activity at that time, so we had to switch Family Movies to the
weekend — Saturday afternoon.
M: How much do you charge for the movies?
W: They’re all free. The movie starts at 2:30 in the Reference
Room. M: And what takes place on Friday evenings?
W: We’ve just started a weekly Lecture Series. We have a different speaker every week, and the lectures
cover all different kinds of topics.
M: That sounds like something I’d be interested in. When does it start?
W: The lecture starts at 6:30 in the Meeting Room. But you’d better come early, or there will be no seats
left for you.
M: I got it. Thanks.

M: Welcome to the Lego Toy Factory. We started making the toy here in 1949. Here is a display of
Windsor Castle, in England. This is the Empire State Building in the United States, made up of
10,000 pieces. You can see similar displays in stores around the world. You are standing in the
original factory where Lego was born, right here in Denmark. The first thing you will notice is that
they are made entirely by machines. There are about 1,000 in total. The bricks start out as tiny pieces of
plastic in these different colored tubes. Then the plastic is melted at 200 degrees. Next, we cool them
and shape them into different sizes. This process takes about 10 seconds. We make about 200 million
pieces every hour and 15 billion per year. This is Roger, the creative mind behind all our Lego sets
and creations. He is one of only ten people that work at the factory every day. This includes those who
repair the machines and our cleaning staff.
