She 39 and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I 40 I was lying. I was no

I sat there 41 , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me” I soon realized that 42 Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story was just impossible.

After getting the first prize, I got this valuable advic
26、e from my father: “Do whatever interests you, and dont let the work challenge you, make sure you are challenging that work.” I have always preferred the projects which are challenging and related to real life problems. I clearly remember building a shipping program several years ago. I divided the w
27、hole project into several small sections. When I understood it clearly, I used my brainstorming skill on it, and gave some basic ideas. Then I asked my professor for help before jumping into coding (编码). At first, I did not know how to ask questions correctly and always asked the question “How do I
28、do it?” As I kept working and discussed with my professor, I became more comfortable and those “how” questions soon turned into “what if I do this and that” types of questions. It took me four days to write the code. The desire to solve the problem kept me sleepless all nights brainstorming in even
29、greater details. Every time I saw my program running smoothly, I exploded with joy. I still remember the last day of my work. I was getting some problem and didnt know what to do. At that moment, a man came in to clean. He had headphones, and he was dancing while cleaning the room. Seeing this, I bu
30、rst out laughing. That moment calmed me. I regained energy and interest and started to work again, and soon I fixed the problem.My success in the project proved that breaking up a large problem into small parts could help find a possible solution. Discussing the problem with others was also very ben
31、eficial. Now I have gained the confidence to attempt any kind of project.56. According to the passage, the writer was interested in _. A. developing traffic systems B. doing challenging projectsC. winning great prizes D. writing different codes57. The writer asked the question “how do I do it” at fi
32、rst because _.A. he had no clear idea about his program B. he was too shy to express himselfC. he wanted to be understood easily D. he preferred this kind of question58. We learn from the passage that the writers shipping program _.A. would benefit people a lot B. was done together with othersC. was
33、 difficult and needed patience D. cost much money and energy59. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Do It Yourself B. No Pains, No GainsC. Learning with Interest D. Practice Makes PerfectB One of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience. A novel can be on
34、the “bestseller” lists with a sale of up to 100,000 copies, but a popular TV show might have 70 million TV viewers. TV can make anything or anyone well-known overnight. This is the principle behind “quiz” or “game” shows, which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for prizes and money. A quiz sh
35、ow can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of dollars. Charles Van Doren, an English instructor, became rich and famous after winning money on several shows. He even had a career as a television personality. But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Doren was cheating. It turned o
36、ut that the shows producers, who were pulling the strings, gave the answers to the most popular competitors in advance. Why? Because if the audience didnt like the person who won the game, they turned the show off. The result of this cheating was a huge scandal(丑闻). Based on the show off, a movie ti
37、tled “Quiz Show” is on 40 years later. Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV. But game shows are still here, though they arent taken seriously. In fact, some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together, or that try to cause ne
38、wly-married couples to fight on TV, or that punish losers by humiliating(羞辱) them. The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on TV. People still win money, but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of millions.60. What is the most important thing as to television? A. H
39、ow many viewers they can attract B. Becoming the bestseller on the list C. How much money can be given away D. The number of people attending shows61. What does the underlined part “pulling the strings” probably mean? A. Planning the shows with effort B. Drawing the curtain on the stageC. Controllin
40、g the result secretly D. Playing “quiz” or “game” openly62. Charles Van Doren stopped his career as a television personality because _. A. he had earned enough wealth and fame. B. one of the competitors had told the truth C. the film “Quiz Show” was being shown D. his frequent appearance had bored t
41、he audience63. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. TV Game Shows are more popular than before. B. the scandal was not made known until 40 years later C. getting money is the only purpose of people taking part in shows D. people can make themselves famous by taking part in showsC The 1980s
42、was called the “Me Decade” because for many this time was marked by a fascination with the self. The idea that each person has a self may seem natural to us, but this concept is actually quite new. The idea that each human life is unique developed between the 11th and 15th centuries in Europe. Befor
43、e that time, individuals were considered in relation to a group, and even today, many eastern cultures place more emphasis on the importance of a collective self than on a unique and independent self. Both eastern and western cultures see the self as divided into an inner, private self and an outer,
44、 public self. But where they differ is in terms of which part is seen as the “real you.” Western culture tends to promote the idea of individualitya self that is separated from other selves. In contrast, many eastern cultures focus on an inter-independent self that gets its diversity in large part f
45、rom inter-relationship with others. For example, a Confucian(孔子) idea stresses the importance of “face”other peoples views of the self and keeping up ones desired status in their eyes. In the past, some Asian cultures developed clear rules about the specific clothes and even colors that people in ce
46、rtain social classes and occupations were allowed to display, and these live on today in Japanese style manuals. This style of dress is at odds with such western practices as “casual Fridays,” which encourage employees to dress informally and express their unique selves.64. According to the passage
47、, what does the author believe about the self? A. Many eastern cultures see the self connected with others. B. Those born in the 1980s are generally most self-centered than others. C. The concept that each person has a self may seem strange to eastern cultures D. Western cultures regard the self as
48、an outer, public self while eastern cultures dont.65. What does the 2nd paragraph mainly talk about? A. How eastern and western cultures see the self. B. Eastern cultures contrast sharply with western cultures C. Both eastern and western cultures appreciate the importance of self D. Eastern cultures
49、 are as important as western cultures66. A Japanese dress code is mentioned in the last paragraph to _. A. explain the importance of “face” B. say how traditional the Japanese are C. emphasize the importance of eastern cultures D. show how eastern cultures see the self in relation to others67. The u
50、nderlined phrase “at odds with” most probably means_. A. in agreement with B. in disagreement with C. in comparison with D. in need ofD I sometimes wonder if old Finchley has the right personality to be a research scientist. He keeps asking when hell be coming back. After all, it was his own fault.
51、Nobody tries out what has just been invented on themselves any more but Finchley. Well, he must have pumped about a thousand cubic centimeters into himself before I noticed he was clearly becoming smaller. It was funny watching him, because his clothes remained the same in size. They simply piled up
52、 around him so that he looked like a small boy in his fathers clothes. But he kept getting smaller and smaller. As my colleague Dawson and I watched him, he disappeared! All we could see was Finchleys clothes on the floor. They looked so strange, because the lab coat was on top, shirt and trousers i
53、nside and, I suppose, underclothes inside again. It gave me a strange feeling, and I think Dawson was a bit shaken, too. Dawson was sitting on his chair in front of a microscope hed been using to examine a family of mites(螨虫). He looked through the scope kind of absently again, and was nearly scared
54、 to lose awareness when he found old Finchley waving back from the other end. It seems as if Finchley had taken a free ride on a dust mite and landed on the land of the mite family. Of course, we didnt know till Finchley told us later. But anyhow, as I said, Dawson nearly passed out. He jumped off h
55、is chair and pointed at the microscope, too shocked to speak.68. Finchley disappeared because _. A. he took something poisonous B. he was changed into a dust mite C. his fathers clothes totally covered him up D. what he and his colleagues invented resulted in his disappearance69. It frightened Dawso
56、n to see Finchley _. A. got into his scope by accident B. was waving through his telescope C. suddenly got lost in his clothes D. gradually disappeared in the lab70. It can be inferred that Finchley, Dawson and the writer have possibly invented _. A. some kind of medicine B. a new powerful microscop
57、e C. a machine to make people small D. a new way to make a culture of mite71. It can probably be concluded that Finchley _. A. passed out there and then B. is not fit to be a scientist C. is a devoted scientist D. will remain tiny all the timeEA new study has been carried to test the role of story t
58、elling in lowering blood pressure. Dr. Thomas Houston, a professor of the University of Massachusetts Medical School, led a group of scientists that researched how pre-recorded videos of hypertension (高血压) patients talking about their medical histories helped another group of patients with high bloo
59、d pressure to control their condition over several months. Houston was surprised by their studies that suggested that communication can be a powerful tool in medicine. They showed that those who had had similar experiences, when talking to someone with a similar background, could help change their b
60、ehavior to become healthier. Hypertension is difficult to control, since it is dependent on diet, exercise and mental state. Medical treatments with drugs, and lifestyle therapies(疗法) have been relatively ineffective because people find it hard to follow those medical requirements. In the test, his
61、team carefully chose their story-tellers from 230 members of a patients community with whom they could most easily relate. Next, they divided their study population into two groups. One received three interactive DVDs containing the tellers stories of their experiences in living with and treating th
62、eir hypertension. The other were given educational discs on an unrelated health topic. The study volunteers reported that they had listened to the DVDs, and after three months, those who heard the stories of the hypertensive patients lowered their blood pressure. While the study did not address how
63、the story-telling influenced the patients behavior, Houston doubts that watching patients of similar backgrounds who had a similar medical experience helped to motivate them to seek medical help to their hypertension. They found that after six months the difference in blood pressure between those wh
64、o watched the story-tellers and those who observed the unrelated videos remained, suggesting that the story-telling continued to have an effect.72. We can learn from the text that the pre-recorded videos _. A. tell medical histories of hypertension patients B. introduce some medical treatments of hy
65、pertension C. introduce a good lifestyle for hypertensive patients D. tell scientific discoveries of the scientist group73. Houston was surprised to find that _. A. hypertension is really difficult to control B. communication has some medical effects C. medical treatments have no effect at all D. pe
66、ople dont follow the medical requirements74. The underlined word address in the last paragraph most probably means _. A. persuade B. observe C. attend D. announce75. Which of the following could be the best title of the text? A. The stories of some hypertension patients. B. Medical treatments of blo
67、od pressure. C. Storytelling may help lower blood pressure. D. Suggestions about how to lower blood pressure.第卷(非选择题，共35分)四、写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）以下标有题号的每一行均有一个错误，请找出，并按下列情况改正： 此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉； 此行缺一个词：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（），在该行右边横线上写出该加的词；此行错一个词：在错的词下划一横线，在该行右边横线上写出改
