You can either travel or read, but either your body or soul must be on the way. The popular saying has
inspired many people to read or go sightseeing. Traveling just like reading, is a refreshing journey from the
busy world. Books, brain food, can keep you company on your travel.

B
When I was a boy, our extended immigrant family would sometimes gather at my aunt’s tiny house
over the summer. Relatives from all over the country would come in to visit. The adults would crowd
together in the living room to talk and catch up on each other’s lives. And the kids would be sent out into
the front yard to play when dinner was slowly cooked for all of us.
Those were the days before video games, smart phones, and motorized toys, so we often ended up
playing an old game. I remember one of those moments especially. As I was the youngest and smallest of
all the kids there, I got caught first and couldn’t catch anyone else. My brothers and cousins were all too
fast for me, and I grew more and more frustrated. I finally fell my face first into the dirt. I got up with tears
forming in my eyes. Then I saw one of my female cousins Susan standing there. She started to run but was
going much slower than before. I easily caught up and seized her. Then she turned to me, smiled, and said,
I’m it! You’d better run! Iran off laughing with glee while she turned and started to chase others.
Now I see how her act of kindness that day saved me from sadness and returned me to joy. It didn’t
matter that we hardly ever saw each other. I know we are family and she loves me.
In her wonderful book Box of Butterflies, Roma Downey writes, “We are all one, we all belong to each
other, and we are one big, beautiful family.” Perhaps it is time that we all started to treat each other that
way. Perhaps it is time that we shared our love, our kindness, our laughter, and our joy with everyone
without fear. Perhaps it is time to finally and forever bring this world together in one big family reunion.
24. When the adults were chatting, the kids would __________.
A. play video games B. sit in the front yard
C. learn to cook dinner D. play traditional games
25. The author was able to catch Susan because ________.
A. the others ran too fast B. the author was good at running

B. The author can’t meet Susan any more.
C. The author urges others to love their family.
D. The author believes the world will become a big family.
27. What could be the best title of the passage?
A. A memory of my childhood. B. Sharing of goodness unites us.
C. Kindness brightens our life. D. A good deed is invaluable.
C
Please take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. Imagine telling someone you meet
today what you’re going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesn’t it feel
good to say it out loud? Don’t you feel one step closer already? Well, bad news: you should have kept your
mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.
Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would
not be satisfied until you’d actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and he
acknowledges(认可) it, psychologists have found it’s called a “social reality”. The mind is kind of tricked
into feeling that it’s already done. And then, because you’ve felt that satisfaction, you’re less motivated to
do the actual hard work necessary. This goes against the traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends
our goals, right?
In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a Professor of Psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he
did some new tests that were published. It goes like this: 163 people across four separate tests—everyone
wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment(许诺) to this goal to the
room, and half didn’t. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards
their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Now those who kept their mouths shut
worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to
go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when
asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.
28. What do the words “social reality” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Completion of the goal. B. Necessary hard work.
C. People’s acknowledgement. D. A sense of satisfaction.
29. What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us?
A. Writing down the goal is very helpful.
B. Achieving personal goal needs more time.
C. Keeping the goal secret makes people work harder.
D. Making the goal public makes people less satisfied.
30. How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about people’s goal?
A. By giving figures. B. By giving examples.
C. By making a survey. D. By making comparison tests.
31. What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal?
A. You will be more confident. B. You will not gain satisfaction.
C. You are less likely to realize it. D. You’ll be much more motivated.
D
Compared with solar and wind energy, which are booming, tidal( 潮 汐 的 ) power is a loser in the
clean-energy competition. But if you did want to build a tidal power station, there are few better sites than
the mouth of the River Severn, in Britain. Its tidal range, the difference in depth between high and low tides,
of around 15 metres is among the largest in the world.
Engineers and governments have been toying with the idea since at least 1925. But none of the
suggested projects has materialised. Price is one objection. A study thought that tidal energy might cost
between ￡ 216 and ￡ 368($306-521) per MWh of electricity by 2025, compared with ￡ 58-75 for
seagoing wind turbines(轮机) and ￡55-76 for solar panels. Environmentalists also worry that any plant
would change the tides, making life harder for wildlife.
An engineer called Rod Rainey thinks he has a way around both problems. He plans to replace the
conventional turbines of previous plans with a much older technology. Specifically, he plans to span(横跨)
the river mouth with a line of water wheels. This is a design that dates back to the early days of the
Industrial Revolution. Examples can be found fixed to the sides of old watermills(水磨).
But there would be nothing old-fashioned about Mr Rainey’s wheels. Thirty metres high and sixty
wide, they would be made from ordinary steel. Two hundred and fifty of them, along with the supporting
structures, would be floated into place and secured to the seabed, creating a line 15km long. Together, they
could supply power at an average rate of 4GW. That is about as much as two biggish nuclear power
stations would manage. Substituting one of the wheels with a set of locks would provide a shipping channel
about twice the width of Panama Canal, permitting upstream ports such as Avonmouth and Cardiff to
continue operating.
32. What is special about the mouth of the River Seven?
A. The tidal range there is about 15 meters.
B. It has the largest tidal range in the world.
C. The tidal power station has been built there.
D. Its power plant makes life harder for wildlife.
33. What was people’s initial attitude towards tidal power?
A. Opposed. B. Supportive. C. Controversial. D. Doubtful.
34. What are the locks used for?
A. Support. B. Transportation. C. Securing wheels. D. Producing electricity.
35. What’s the best tittle for the text?
A. Rainey invented turbines. B. Rainey’s tidal power station.
C. Tidal power in the River Seven. D. An old idea might be made practical.
第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We know that choosing a college major can be very hard. But have no fear! Your choice of major will
not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. Here’s what you need to know about college
majors before you commit.
What is a major?
36 Beyond general college requirements, you’ll also take a group of courses in a subject of your
choosing such as Chemistry, Literature, or Political Science.
How important is my major?
The major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Many graduates find jobs that
have nothing to do with what they studied in college. If you intend to earn a professional degree after
college, you will probably need certain courses. 37
When do I declare a major?
This varies widely across schools and programs. 38 Others require that you declare upon a
major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.
39
Definitely. One of the most exciting aspects of college life is that it introduces you to new subjects and
arouses new passions. However, keep this in mind. Every major has necessary coursework. If you change
your major late in the game, it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree.
What are minors and double majors?
If one field of study doesn’t satisfy your intellectual appetite, consider a minor. A minor is similar to a
major in that it’s an area of academic concentration. 40 A double major provides you with an
understanding of two academic fields. It allows you to become familiar with two sets of values and views
while it also requires you to fulfill two sets of requirements.
A. Can I change my mind?
B. Is my major time-consuming?
C. It’s your specialized area of study in college.
D. Most students find one major is more than enough.
E. Some schools may give you one year or more to decide.
F. But many future doctors major in non-science related fields.
G. The only difference is that it doesn’t require as many classes.

From the age of five, I was constantly surrounded by fear. It started when I was sent to boarding
school. I used to 41 the bed and, the first night it happened, I knocked on the nuns’(修女) door to ask
for 42 . Instead, they made me do the ‘walk of 43 ’, carrying a packet of wet sheets through all
the 44 as they announced, ‘Make way for the bed-wetter,’ and 45 the children to laugh and
shout horrible things. That happened 46 .
I grew into a problem 47 and spent much time in bars drinking to forget the hopelessness and
48 . That’s where I met my first husband, who turned out to be a 49 man. It was only when he
50 me into a state of unconsciousness that things changed. I knew I couldn’t go back—if I did, I would
51 . So I decided to remove the layers of pain and cruelty and 52 them with happiness and success.
I started to read books about how to think highly of yourself. I got into 53 and won competitions, I
realised, ‘I am not a 54 person like the nuns and my husband told me.’ I decided to take the 55
I used in sport—my determination to keep 56 —and apply them to everything in my life. That’s when
I 57 I was a really good business person.
Whatever your past has been, don’t 58 it for who you are today. Try and find something 59
in it. That’s the only possible way to 60 those things, be brave and turn everything around.

第二节 语法填空（共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Should naps( 小 睡 ) actually 61 (take) during the day? Well, we certainly know from 62
(evident) in the sleep center and that of many other scientists that naps can give you benefits for both your
brain 63 your body. But naps can actually be 64 double-edged sword because while we’re
awake during the day, we’re building up sleepiness or sleep pressure. So when you try to fall asleep at
night, you’ll fall asleep quickly and then you’ll stay asleep. And when we sleep, we actually release that
sleepiness so that we wake up the next morning feeling 65 (refresh).
So if you take a nap during the day, especially if you take it too late in the afternoon, you will actually
release some of that sleepiness and it will make it much 66 (hard) to fall asleep and stay asleep
soundly throughout the night. So the advice would be if you don’t struggle with your sleep and you can nap
67 (regular), then naps are just fine.
But if you do find it difficult 68 (fall) asleep or stay asleep at night, then you should avoid naps
and try to build up that healthy sleepiness in the evening.
The ideal nap depends on 69 you want from that nap. Different stages of sleep actually give you
different types of brain and body 70 (benefit).

To support the activity name “Green Travel, Start with Me”, I talk to my parents about my ideas. They
were very supportive, say they would not drive work from then on. In the following weeks, as they
promised, I went to school by bike every day, while my parents went to work by bus. Though we were
tired, but we all felt happily. Last Friday, the class meeting was held. Some parents were invited, including
