I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C, thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part—particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables—was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.‎ The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m., rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.‎ Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened (蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal—and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.‎ Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where―luckily for me—I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.‎ ‎24. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?‎ A. Exciting. B. Boring. C. Relaxing. D. Annoying.‎ ‎25. What made the author’s getting up early worthwhile?‎ A. Having a swim. B. Breathing in fresh air.‎ C. Walking in the morning sun. D. Visiting a local farmer’s market.‎ ‎26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?‎ A . They are soft. B. They look nice. C. They taste great. D. They are juicy.‎ ‎27. What was the author going to do that evening?‎ A. Eat in a restaurant. B. Check into a hotel. C. Go to a farm. D. Buy fresh vegetables.‎ C 10‎ Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.28‎ Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?‎ To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines（学科）. Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.‎ On the whole, Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, 29his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s attempt to translate his tale into science.30/31‎ ‎28. The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to__________.‎ A. illustrate where science can be applied B. demonstrate the value of Brooks’ new book C. remind the reader of the importance of science D. explain why many writers use science in their works ‎29. According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?‎ A. Its strong basis. B. Its convincing points. ‎ C. Its clear writing. D. Its memorable characters.‎ ‎30. What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?‎ A. Contradictory. B. Supportive. C . Cautious. D. Critical.‎ ‎31. What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?‎ A. Problems with the book. B. Brooks’s life experience.‎ C. Death of the characters. D. Brooks’s translation skills.‎ D Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since．A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water．He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away．He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son．A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears．‎ One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something,‎ 10‎ ‎ additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it．33‎ In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them．We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks．We not only learn but overlearn．‎ The multiplication tables（乘法口诀表）are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood．34‎ The law of over learning explains why cramming（突击学习）for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course．By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned．A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development．35‎ ‎32．What is the main idea of paragraph 1?‎ ‎ A．People remember well what they learned when they were little．B．Children have a better memory than grown-ups．‎ ‎ C．Poem reading is a good way to learn words． D．Stories for children are easy to remember．‎ ‎33．The author explains the law of overleaming by_________．‎ ‎ A．presenting research findings B．setting down general rules C．making a comparison D．using examples ‎34．According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______．‎ ‎ A．a result of overlearning B．a special case of cramming ‎ C．a skill to deal with math problems D．a basic step towards advanced studies ‎35．What is the author's opinion on cramming?‎ ‎ A．It leads to failure in college exams． B．It's helpful only in a limited way．‎ ‎ C．It's possible to result in poor memory． D．It increases students' learning interest．‎ 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。‎ What roles do your parents play in your family? 36 But in modern families, mothers have their own careers, and fathers also help out when it comes to doing household chores and taking care of the kids.‎ This is probably why recently, the slogan “Loved by kids, approved by mums” on a brand of cereal (麦片粥) from US company Kellogg’s led to heated discussion online. Some US campaign groups complained that the slogan was biased (歧视) against stay-at-home men. 37 ‎ Indeed, the roles of men and women have changed over time.As the number of dual-income households increases, more and more men have changed their views on their roles in families, accounting for a more equal distribution of labor between mothers and fathers. And many choose to be stay-at-home dads. 38B They have to struggle with career and childcare, but also face doubts over whether they’re doing enough. “ 39C You’re also measured by how much time you’re able to spend with your kids and how much you’re able to do with your family.” Matt Schneider, co-founder of a US-based network serving for stay-at-home dads, told CBS News.‎ However, there is no need for stay-at-home fathers to feel cast down. 40 There are always special moments that 10‎ ‎ make it worthwhile for them. “When my son crawls towards me, hugs me and says ‘I love you’, I wonder if he knows what that means.” a stay-at-home dad called Scott Durkin told ABC News. “But you get all … warm inside.”‎ A. Their hard work is bound to pay off.‎ B. However, the biggest problem has come.‎ C. It’s not just about being a paycheck(薪水) father anymore.‎ D. Before being a father, you are mainly measured by your work.‎ E. In the past, women were more likely than men to look after family members.‎ F. Staying at home can hardly help them form a close relationship with their kids.‎ G. They even charged the company with what they described as “cereal discrimination”.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 ‎（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ When our second child was born，Jim and I thought she was perfect，but the doctor _41_ that her feet were turned inward．“Left _42_, it would be a problem，”he told us．‎ We _43_ to do anything we could to help our baby．When she was only two weeks old，I brought her back to the doctor, just as he had _44_，and the doctor put her tiny feet into casts(铸件).

Of course, the show’s director agreed happily.‎ But when Jimmy got on the stage, something surprising happened. He went through his short song and then stayed. The applause grew louder and louder and he kept staying. Pretty soon, he had been on the stage for fifteen, twenty, and then thirty minutes. One of his 65 (assist) behind the stage stopped him and said, “I had thought you had to leave pretty soon. What happened?” ‎ Jimmy answered, “I did have to leave, but I can show you the reason 66 I stayed. You can see 67 yourself if you look at the front row.
