22、to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle from tragedy while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car.Though Mothers Day follows Earth Day, for me, they have always been related to each other. My mom has been “green” since she became concerned about the
23、 environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift (节俭).

25、t looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions (蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. M

46、cientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.
47、By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early were more l

56、“Mom, I have cancer.” These four words catapulted my son and me on a journey that lasted two years. On that day I felt a wave of paralyzing fear.Scott was the oldest of my four children. He was 33 years old and a successful assistant principal at SamRayburn Hifht School in Pasadena, Texas. He and hi
57、s wife Carolyn were busy raising four active children. Scott was 62, weighed 200 pounds and had never been sick a day in his life.A few month earlier a mole(痣)on his neck had changed color. “Dr.Warner called,” Scott said that spring morning. “Its melanoma.(黑素瘤)” I tried to comfort him, naming all th
58、e people I knew who had survived skin cancer. Yet, I felt small tentacles of fear begin to wrap around my chest.Our next stop was MDAnderson, the famous cancer hospital in Houston. Scott had surgery at the end of May and was scheduled for radiation treatments over the summer recess. “There is an 80
59、percent chance it wont reoccur,” the doctors said. At the end of summer, all his tests came back negative and Scott was back at school in the fall. However, in December, Scott discovered a lump on his neck. It was examined and the result came back “malignant.(恶性的)” We now realized that Scott fell in
60、to the 20 percent category. I could feel the tentacles tightening around my chest. He entered the hospital for an aggressive treatment, a combination of interferon and interleukin.After five months of treatment, he had radical surgery on his neck. The test results were encouraging, only three of the
61、 33 lymph nodes(淋巴结) removed were malignant. We were very hopeful.For the next six months, Scotts follow-up visits went well. Then in October, X-ray revealed a spot on his lung. The spot was removed during surgery and the doctors tried to be optimistic. It was a daily battle to control the fear and
62、panic each setback brought.In January, he was diagnosed as having had a “disease explosion.” The cancer had spread to his lungs, spine and liver and he was given three to six months to live. There were times during this period when I felt like I was having a heart attack. The bands constricting my c
63、hest made breathing difficult.When you watch your child battle cancer, you experience a roller coaster of emotions. There are moments of hope and optimism but a bad test result or even an unusual pain can bring on dread and panic.Scott was readmitted to the hospital for one last try with chemotherap
64、y. He died, quite suddenly, just six weeks after his last diagnosis. I was completely destroyed. I had counted on those last few months.The next morning I was busy notifying people and making funeral arrangements. I remember having this nagging feeling that something was physically wrong with me. It
65、 took a moment to realize that the crushing sensation in my chest was gone. The thing every parent fears the most had happened. My son was gone. Of course, the fear had been replaced by unbearable sorrow.After you lose a child, it is so difficult to go on. The most minimal tasks, combing your hair o
66、r taking a shower, becomes monumental. For months I just sat and stared into space. That spring, the trees began to bloom; flowers began to pop up in my garden. Friendswood was coming back to life but I was dead inside. During those last weeks, Scott and I often spoke about life and death. Fragments
67、 of those conversations kept playing over and over in my mind.“Dont let this ruin your life, Mom.”“Make sure Dad remodels his workshop.”“Please, take care of my family.”I remember wishing I could have just one more conversation with him. I knew what I would say, but what would Scott say? “I know how
68、 much you love me, Mom. So just sit on the couch and cry.” No, I knew him better than that. Scott loved life and knew how precious it is. I could almost hear his voice saying, “Get up Mom, Get on with your life. Its too valuable to waste.”That was the day I began to move forward. I signed up for a c
69、ake decorating class. Soon I was making cakes for holidays and birthdays. My daughter-in-law told me about a writing class in Houston. I hadnt written in years, but since I was retired I decided it be time to start again. The local college advertised a Life Story Writing class that I joined. There I
70、 met women who had also lost their children. The Poet Laureate of Texas was scheduled to speak at our local Barnes and Noble. I attended and joined our local poetry society. I never dreamed that writing essays and poems about Scott could be so therapeutic. Several of those poems have ever been publi
71、shed. In addition, each group brought more and more people into my life.I dont believe you ever recover from the loss of a child. Scott is in my heart and mind every day. However, I do believe you can survive.Scott fought so bravery to live and he never gave up. He taught me that life is a gift that
72、 should be cherished, not wasted. It has taken years to become the person I am today. The journey has been a difficult, painful process but certainly worth the effort and I know that my son would be proud.55How old was Scott probably when he died? A33 B35 C37 D4056What does the underlined sentence “
73、The bands constricting my chest made breathing difficult” probably imply?AIt implies that Scotts mother was likely to have a heart attack.BIt implies that there was something wrong with Scotts mothers chest.CIt implies that Scotts mother was very upset and panic because of Scotts severe illness.DIt
74、implies that the cancer had spread to her chest just like her son.57Which of the following statements best shows the authors feeling about Scotts death?AIt was a daily battle to control the fear and panic each setback brought.BShe felt a wave of fear.CShe felt a feeling of fear begin to wrap around
75、her chest.DThe fear had been replaced by unbearable sorrow.58From Scott and his mothers conversation, we can know that Scott is _.Aconsiderate and responsible Bhumorous and brave Cdetermined and optimistic Dsensitive and loving59The author intends to tell us that_.Ait takes a long time to make a per

77、5个段落需要添加首句(第61-65题)。请从以下选项(A. B. C. D. E和 F)中选出适合各段落的首句。选项中有一项是多余选项。A. How inner beliefs can helpB. How to develop positive habitsC. Improve your lifeD. You can do itE. Action planF. Why are habits so importantThe single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single d
78、ay. It is as simple as that. Your habits will determine whether you are successful or not. If you have strong and healthy positive habits, it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you are guaranteed to succeed in the long run. 81. Because you repeat the same actions and the same beha
79、viors every single day, a single positive action will not change your life, but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a significant impact on your life. For example, if you go to the gym one time, you wont see a big difference in your life. However, if you go to the gym 1,000 times over a f
80、ive year period, you will see a big difference in your body. The same principle applies to finance, health, relationships, work, career, and school. Simple positive actions repeated every single day will have a great impact on your life in the long run.82. Theres nothing easier than developing posit
81、ive habits. You simply have to do every single day the action you want to make a habit. If you want to develop the habit of running, run almost every day. If you want to develop the habit of eating healthy, eat healthy every day. If you want to develop the habit of reading, read every day. Habits ar
82、e created by repetition. The more you do an action, the easier it becomes in the long run.83. If you want to be successful in changing your habits, you should think about changing your inner beliefs about your habits. For example, your old belief was: “I love cigarette because it makes me feel good
83、and relaxed. I need cigarette to be happy and relaxed.” If you keep this belief, you wont be able to keep your resolution to stop smoking for very long. Instead, you should adopt this new belief: “I love yoga because it makes me feel good and relaxed. Cigarette is poisonous and destroys my body. Yog
84、a makes me happy.” You should analyze your beliefs and make sure they wont stop you from changing your habits. The same is true when you try to form positive habits. If you want to start eating healthy food, here are some positive beliefs you should start thinking about: “Healthy food is very good f
85、or my health. It gives me a lot of energy and I feel very good.”84. Its now time for you to develop positive habits in your life and avoid your negative habits. Write down 3 positive habits that you would like to develop and 3 negative habits that you would like to get rid of. For each positive habi
86、t, write down exactly what actions youre going to take every single day in order to develop the new habit. For each negative habit, write down exactly what actions youre not going to take in the next weeks. Here are some positive habits that will lead to success: exercise, healthy food, reading, sav
87、ing, studying, healthy relationships, hard work, etc. Here are some negative habits to get rid of: gambling, drug and alcohol abuse, overeating, shyness, etc.85. Everybody can change. All it takes is courage and commitment. Decide right now to improve your life by changing your habits. Take action r
88、ight now! Dont be afraid. Yes, you will probably make mistakes along the way. But never forget that success is guaranteed for you if you have positive habits in your life. If you refuse to quit, success will be yours.第卷(非选择题部分,满分40分)试题见答题卷英语 第二节:任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)61. _ 62. _ 63. _ 64. _ 65. _第三
