24、ut my childhood, my mother would suddenly pull over the car 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.
25、My mom has been “green” since she became concerned about the environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift (节俭). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.Mom creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife
26、in her yard. She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders(给食器) out at night, it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons (浣熊). Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses wil
27、l be set loose in the garden. I try to teach my children that 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 e
28、asily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mom didnt need to lecture; she didnt need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct for protection.I am slowing down and it isnt because of the weight
29、 of my nearly forty years on the planet, it is out of my concern for the planet itself. Ive begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted
30、 tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with a sweetness I immediately wanted to share with my mom.56. Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mothers Day?A. Beca
31、use Mothers Day falls shortly after Earth Day.B. To stress that all the older women in her family are environmentalists.C. To stress how much her mother cares about the environment.D. Because her mother shows her how to be friendly to nature on Mothers Day.57. Which of the following is NOT related t
32、o Moms “green life”?A. Rescuing a beetle from a certain tragedy. B. Saving glass jars, empty cheese containers.C. Setting a caught spider free in the garden D. Picking dandelions on busy streets.58. We can infer from the article that _.A. the author realizes that she should teach her children by exa
33、mple as wellB. the authors mother knows how to get rid of the wildlife in her yard C. the author believes that only by learning to slow down can we enjoy lifeD. the authors mother used to lecture her to protect the environment.59. The writers attitude towards her moms behavior changed in the order o
34、f _.A. understanding critical approving B. approving doubtful negativeC. negative understanding approving D. doubtful critical positiveBI lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty two. I can slightly re
35、member the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity(灾难) can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadnt been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would
36、 have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I dont mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjus
37、tments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was totally confused and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me-a potential to live, you might call it-which I didnt see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.T
38、he hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadnt been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me
39、 down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate（错综复杂的） pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.It took me y
40、ears to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt. I cant use this. I said. Take it with you, he urged me, and roll it around. The words stuck in my head. Roll it around! B
41、y rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphias Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.All my life I have set ahead of me a series of
42、 goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.60.We can lear
43、n from the beginning of the passage that _.A. the author lost his sight because of a car crashB. the author wouldnt love life if the disaster didnt happenC. the disaster made the author appreciate what he hadD. the disaster strengthened the authors desire to see61. According to the context, “a chair
44、 rocker on the front porch” in paragraph 3 means that the author _. A. would sit in a rocking chair and enjoy his lifeB. would be unable to move and stay in a rocking chairC. would lose his will to struggle against difficultiesD. would sit in a chair and stay at home62.According to the passage, the
45、baseball and encouragement offered by the man _.A. hurt the authors feeling B. gave the author a deep impressionC. directly led to the invention of ground ball D. inspired the author63What is the best title for the passage?A. A Miserable Life B. Struggle Against DifficultiesC. A Disaster Makes a Str
46、ong Person D. An Unforgettable ExperienceCEveryone, please think of your biggest personal goal. For real you can take a second. Youve got to feel this to learn it. Take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal, okay? Imagine deciding right now that youre going to do it. Imagine telling
47、someone that you meet today what youre going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image (印象) of you. Doesnt it feel good to say it out loud? Dont you feel one step closer already, like its already becoming part of your identity?Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, bec
48、ause that good feeling now will make you less likely to do it. Repeated psychology tests have proved that telling someone your goal makes it less likely to happen. Any time you have a goal, there are some steps that need to be done, some work that needs to be done in order to achieve it. Ideally, yo
49、u would not be satisfied until you had actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and they acknowledge it, psychologists have found that its called a “social reality”. The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that its already done. And then, because you felt that satisfaction, youre
50、 less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary. So, this goes against the conventional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals.Peter Gollwitzer 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 test
51、s everyone wrote down their personal goals.Then, half of them announced their commitment to this goal to the room, and half didnt. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them toward their goals, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Now, those who kept the
52、ir mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes, on average, and when asked afterward, said that they felt that they had a long way to go to still achieve their goals. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes, on average, and when asked afterward, said that they felt much closer to achi
53、eving their goals.So audience, next time you want to tell someone your goal, what will you say? (Silence) Exactly well done.64. What is the article mainly about?A. The importance of having personal goals.B. Tips on achieving your personal goals.C. Studies on why people tend to keep their personal go
54、als secret.D. Why its not necessarily wise to announce your personal goals to others.65. According to the article, when you tell your friends your goals, _.A. you feel more pressure to try to make them happenB. they feel jealous of your satisfaction and stand in your wayC. you make yourself believe
55、that you are close to achieving themD. it becomes easier for you to make them come true thanks to the support of others66. What did Peter Gollwitzer find in his tests?A. Writing down personal goals inspired people to work hard to achieve them.B. Those who didnt tell others their goals were more like
56、ly to achieve them.C. Those who kept working hard tended to feel that they were closer to realizing their goals.D. Those who made their goals public worked harder than those who kept them secret. D WHAT sets Spain apart from the rest of Europe? It might be “siestas”, the three-hour lunch break that
57、is customary (惯例的) in the country. The Spanish start work at 8 or 9 am, but in the early afternoon they usually take a three-hour break. After lunch, people can be seen napping in cars or on benches. During hot summer afternoons, Spanish village streets are often totally deserted . When they return
58、to their offices at 4 pm, Spanish workers often have to make up for the lost time by working until 8 or 9 pm. So, while most other Europeans are sound asleep, Spaniards are still having dinner or watching television. “Everything in Spain happens later, from meal times to broadcast entertainment,” de
59、scribed AP. “This work schedule is a Spanish cultural vice,” said Nuria Chinchilla, head of the International Center on Work and Family at the University of Navarra in Barcelona. “Changing to the European schedule should be the most urgent (紧急的) project for the government.” Many Spanish people compl
60、ain about their never-ending workdays, and some even think the issue has affected the countrys development. “In Spain we sleep almost an hour less than the World Health Organization recommends,” lawmakers in the Spanish parliament wrote in a proposal. “This has a negative effect on productivity, str
61、ess, accidents and school dropout rates.” Thats why, last September, they recommended that Under the proposed newuthe government turn back the clocks by one hour. schedule, the lunchtime break would be cut to an hour or less. And a regular eight-hour workday would be introduced. However, some doubt
62、that changing the time zone would reverse low productivity, which comes more from the countrys service-oriented economy (服务型经济), according to Maria Angeles Durant, a sociologist with the Spanish National Research Council. But Ignacio Buqueras, the president of the Association for the Rationalization
63、 of Spanish Working Hours, told The New York Times that “changing the Spanish schedule would allow families more free time together and boost Spains economy.” The Spanish government is treating the campaign seriously, but it hasnt taken any action yet, reported The New York Times. Spains siesta is n
64、ot actually a product of its relaxed Mediterranean (地中海的) culture. At the start of the 20th century, Spain had the same working hours as many parts of Europe. It was during World War II that the country moved the clocks forward to align (结盟) them with those of Nazi Germany. The same thing happened i
65、n Portugal. After the defeat of Hitler, Portugal returned to Greenwich Mean Time, but Spain did not.67.Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Spain hopes to boost its economy by changing its work schedule.B. Spain will change the time zone to allow families more free time together.C. Spains long lunc

The typical workday in Spain includes a long break at lunch.68.What does the underlined word “siesta” mean?A. nap B. noon C. afternoon tea D. lunchtime break69.Which of the following is not the benefit of changing the Spanish work schedule?A.

Meanwhile书面表达（25分）【参考范文】Nowadays all the students have to turn to dictionaries once in a while during their study. Some think that it is better to use t
87、he e-dictionary. They consider that an e-dictionary is smart and cool to use as well as time-saving. Meanwhile, it has many other practical functions. But a printed dictionary is not so convenient to carry.However, some others hold the opposite view. They think the printed dictionary has more entrie
88、s which are complete, detailed with more examples while the e-dictionary provides limited information. Personally, I prefer the e-dictionary. First, its very handy and cute. Besides, its very practical and helpful. Not only is it a dictionary, it can also serve as a calculator, a calendar, and a timekeeper as well. Sometimes it can even teach the learner how to pronounce a word. Above all, most entries of the e-dictionary are up to date.
