One of the biggest complaints in modern society is being over-scheduled. Ask people how they are and
the answer usually is “super busy,” “crazy busy”. 21 is just “fine” any more.
When people aren’t super busy at 22 , they are crazy busy exercising, entertaining or parenting. And if
there is ever a still moment for thoughts—for example, while waiting 23 at the supermarket or sitting
in traffic—out come the mobile phones. So it’s worth noting a study published last month in Science, which
shows how 24 people will go to avoid the examination for our thoughts.
“We had noted that we are so dependent on our mobile phones that people seem to find any 25
they can to keep busy,” said Timothy Wilson, a psychology professor at the University of Virginia. In his
experiments involving 700 people, the majority found it 26 to be alone with their thoughts for just 6 to
15 minutes.
It could be because human beings, as problem solvers and meaning makers, when 27 , tend to
think about what’s wrong in their lives. When we aren’t 28 our Facebook page, the things we haven’t
figured out appear in our minds— 29 relationships, professional failures, health concerns, etc. Unless
there is a solution, these thoughts just 30 themselves in our heads.
But you can’t solve problems 31 you don’t allow yourself time to think about them. It has
actually been 32 by our culture, which values doing more than thinking and believes answers are in
your hand 33 in your head. “We all fell that busyness is 34 but it’s really harmful,” said
Timothy. “There’s a widespread belief that thinking will only slow you down and get 35 , but it’s the
opposite.” 36 negative feelings only makes them more powerful, he said. Allowing and 37 the
flow of thoughts is part of the solution itself, such as meditation(冥想).
Negative feelings are sometimes hard, but they are part of everyone’s life, 38 if you are busy. It
is those deep and troubling feelings, and how you 39 them, that make you who you are. While
busyness may seem to prevent the flow of sadness, it may also limit your ability to be filled with 40 .第三部分：阅读理解（共 15 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）

I was taking in the breathtaking view from the top of Sydney Harbor Bridge when I sensed I was aboutto witness something even more dramatic right in front of me. Although we were all tied to lines running
along the steel girders, a fellow climber called Mike had somehow managed to drop onto bended knee and
turn to face his girlfriend, Wendy. I knew what was coming. “Wendy, will you marry me?” he asked. There
was a quick smile and an attempted kiss and then a big beam. Mike had the answer he hoped for and all of us
burst into a round of applause.
Apparently more than 2,000 couples have become engaged ( 订 婚 ) at the summit since 1998, when it
became possible to climb it in organized tour groups. The bridge, perhaps the most recognized symbol of this
beautiful city, opened in 1932. It's still the world's largest steel-arch bridge.
We returned to the fantastic view: the famous Sydney Opera House, ferries and sailboats making their
way through the harbor, the city skyline — but I had to force myself to look down. We had climbed 1,423
steps to the top of the bridge and I didn't know whether to be delighted or scared.
Nicole Kidman has done it. So have Bruce Springsteen, Prince Harry and scores of other celebrities. But
climbing to the top clearly isn't just for the rich and famous. On the contrary, Australian youngsters do it to
celebrate their 12th birthdays. (You have to be at least 12 years old to do the climb.) A 100-year-old woman
climbed it and told guides it was on her list of things to do before she died.
You can climb during the day, at twilight, or even after dark with headlamps. People climb in all
weathers except when there's lightning in the area. In fact, over two million people have made the three-and-
a-half-hour climb to the top of the famous bridge—an adventure that cannot be done anywhere else in the
world on a bridge this big. That's probably why this climb has won a lot of tourism awards. Today, the climb
is firmly on the "to-do" list for locals as well as tourists.
43. What can we learn on the bridge is quite rare.
A. Getting engaged on the bridge is quite rare.
B. People climb the bridge on climbers’ age.
C. There are no limitations on climbers’ age.
D. Many famous people have done the climb.
44. How did the author feel when he climbed to the top of the bridge?
A. Bored and tired B. Fearful and confused
C. Excited and nervous D. Relived and relaxed
45. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To introduce the popularity of the bridge.
B. To emphasize the importance of the bridge
C. To explain the functions of the bridge.
D. To describe the fantastic view from the bridge.

"Our coffee is loved by millions worldwide." Do you often see this kind of advertising in your country?
Statements like these that no one can prove are called puffery. Puffery is legal, even though it cannot be
proved. In fact, puffery has been called "a license to lie", as it is regarded as an opinion rather than an
objective statement.
Using puffery to raise awareness of products and to increase sales, is a common advertising method.
Some people, however, worry about puffery. One of the concerns is whether consumers are misled by false
advertising. Therefore, advertisements containing puffery sometimes can be tested in the courts, and the
decisions that are made help to tell the difference between acceptable puffery and illegal advertising.
On the one hand, if a company tells the public that it sells the country's best-loved" or favorite product,
this is thought to be puffery, rather than an objective description of market share. Similarly, the companydoes not have to produce proof that such puffery is actually supported by numbers or facts. In other words,
advertisements such as the world's best cup of coffee" are impossible to prove. They are too good to be true
and thus it is expected that any consumer will understand how subjective they are. Such advertisements are
therefore not thought of as misleading. In fact, puffery like this in these advertisements is often considered to
add to the entertainment value.
On the other hand, a company that states their products is the safest" or cheapest" needs to show proof,
because statements that are objective need to be supported by proof or statistics. Consumer rights
organizations can run tests to examine whether or not such statements agree with the fact. Companies should
thus be very careful when making factual statements about a product.
A primary function of advertising is to create product awareness. As consumers, we need to know -about
competing products, so we can make wise decisions on which one to buy. While it is important that
advertisers are monitored to ensure they do not mislead consumers, it can be argued that puffery is a good
way of raising awareness of new products. As long as there are effective ways of monitoring advertisements
to prevent deliberate deception (欺骗) in safety and quality, it seems that most puffery is relatively harmless.
Rather, it has become part of advertising, which most consumers can laugh at rather than being misled.
46. By “ Our coffee is loved by millions worldwide", the passage intends to .
A. describe a fact B. introduce the topic
C. present an argument D. provide background information
47. The function of puffery is mainly to help .
A. describe products' market share B. raise awareness of new products
C. test the advertisement in the courts D. run tests to examine the new products.
48. What does the author think of puffery?
A. It is acceptable with effective monitoring.
B. It is misleading for it uses the false information.
C. It is harmful for it plays tricks on consumers.
D. It is convincing for it helps consumers to choose wisely.
49. Which can be the best title of this passage?
A. Functions of Advertising B. Puffery in Advertising
C Consumers and Advertising D. The Art of Advertising

Dear Mummy,
This last trip to India with you has brought home to me a few hard facts- facts that I wanted to avoid
seeing for some time. As you well know, you and I have had a few arguments and several days of tension
during the trip. I must admit sometimes I really do not know how to communicate to you what I really feel.
Words seem to fail on both sides. That's why I am writing this letter. Perhaps it will be a bit easier. ①
As I approach my seventeenth year, I suddenly ask myself where I belong.1 know this is the usual
teenage identity crisis. You came to this country when you were slightly older than I am and married my
father. You admired the American lifestyle and tried to be an American as much as you could. I am the
daughter of you, a mother who is Indian, and a father who is American. Of course, I am American. Except for
a few trips to India I have little to do with India outwardly. But I feel how much you would like me to
become Indian sometimes. I cannot explain it with examples. But I feel it in my bones. The India that you
never quite shake off comes back to you now and you want to see your daughter live it, at least partly. ②
Yes, Mummy, I know I am wrapped up in many superficial (肤浅的) things, things my friends indulge in (沉
迷于) and I can understand your need to protect me. But I am part of them and in order for me to be acceptedby my friends, sometimes I need to do things which do not always please me either. I need their approval and
I want to be like them sometimes. But your good intentions to teach me those good Indian things then clash.
Although I dislike the superficiality of my friends, I cannot move back to your culture just because it is better
for you or more ancient or deep. ③
My dearest mother, I cannot be protected by you. Forgive me if I remind you of something you related
to me many times. You could not be protected by my grandparents (your parents) when you decided to
embrace this culture along with my father. ④ Nor can you protect me despite the fact that we are not
separated by physical distance. Perhaps we are separated by something else and I suspect that is India.
I have never written a letter like this before in my short life. I feel good about writing this and would like
to hear what you have to say, Ma, perhaps you and I can still be friends in a way that you and your mother
could not be. Let’s try. I love you.
Yours,
Rita
50. What can we learn from this letter?
A. Rita and her mother had a pleasant trip in India.
B. Rita always asks herself where she belongs.
C. Rita wants to be accepted by her friends.
D. Rita's mother allows her freedom to do as she wishes.
51. This sentence “Let me live the life I am surrounded by and suffer as I wish.” can
be best placed at .
A.① B. ② C.③ D.④
52. The underlined word“clash in Paragraph 2 probably means
A. come into existence B. come into disagreement
C. come into view D. come into effect
53. Which words can best describe Rita's personality?
A. Hesitant and ignorant. B. Thoughtful and generous.
C. Ambitious and humorous. D. Independent and communicative.
54. Which kind of social problem can be reflected from this private letter?
A. Politics. B. Race. C Religion. D. Identity.
55. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Rita expects more protection from her mother.
B. Rita expects more Indian cultural influence from her mother.
C. Rita expects more communication and respect from her mother.
D. Rita expects more attention and care from her mother.

living space with someone else. 56
Following these tips to make sure you and your roommate keep things pleasant and supportive throughout the
year.
1. Be clear about your expectations from the beginning
Do you know in advance that you hate it when someone hits the snooze button fifteen times every

best ways to remove problems before they become problems.

borrow, use, or take anything without getting permission first.

often you bring people over. If your roommate studies best in the quiet, and you study best in a group, can
you take turns who goes to the library and who stays in the room?
4. If nothing else, follow the golden rule
60 No matter what your relationship is at the end of the year, you can take comfort knowing you
