10、ained about young people, and today is no different. Isnt it clear that compared with our glorious selves, kids these days are selfish social network addicts?However, this summer, my impression of todays kids has been restored by the story of Rachel Beckwith. She could teach my generation a great de
11、al about maturity and unselfishness even though shes just 9 years old, or was when she died on July 23.At age 5, Rachel had her long hair cut off and sent to Locks of Love, which uses hair donations to make artificial hair for children who have lost their own hair because of cancer or other diseases
12、. After that, Rachel announced that she would grow her hair long again and donate it again. And thats what she did.Then when she was 8 years old, her church began raising money to build wells in Africa through an organization called Charity: Water. Rachel was astonished when she learned that other c
13、hildren had no clean water, so she skipped her ninth birthday party. Rachel set up a birthday page on the Charity: Water website with a target of $300. Instead of presents, she asked her friends to donate $9 each to Charity: Water. Finally Rachel raised only $220 which had left her just a bit disapp
14、ointed.Then, on July 20, a serious traffic accident left Rachel critically injured. Church members and friends, seeking some way of showing support, began donating on Rachels birthday page Charitywater.org/Rachel and donations reached her $300 goal, and kept rising.But Rachel couldnt hear that she h
15、ad raised beyond the $47,544 that the singer Justin Bieber had raised for Charity: Water on his 17th birthday. “I think Rachel would have been overjoyed for she secretly had a crush on (迷恋) him,” Rachels mom said.When it was clear that Rachel would never come to life, the family decided to remove th
16、e life support system. Her parents donated her hair for the final time to Locks of Love, and her organs to other children.Word about Rachels last fund-raising spread. Contributions poured in, often in $9 each. The total donations soon topped $100,000, then $300,000.This is a story not just of one gi
17、rl, but of a young generation of outstanding problem-solvers working creatively.21When was it that Rachels hair was donated for the final time to Locks of Love?A. At her age of 5. B. After her death.C. Right after the traffic accident. D. Before her ninth birthday.22What does the text mainly talk ab

A lesson from Rachel.23What does the author think of todays kids after he knew the story of Rachel Beckwith?A. They are good at social network. B. They are unselfish as grown-ups.C. They can get problem
19、s solved effectively. D. They have narrow minds and care about nothing.BMy mom takes pride in the fact that I was talking in three and four word sentences before I was ten months old. Some say its a gift while others simply think I talk too much.As my thirties came to a close, I found myself reflect
20、ing on my life. Im very happy and have no significant regrets. However, when I looked back on those times of difficulty, I saw a clear common denominator(特征): I didnt seem to know when to stop talking. Whether it was hurting someones feelings, or having carelessly told a secret, the incident could h
21、ave been avoided, had I closed my mouth sooner. So I decided to practice the power of quiet.To take this step, I needed to understand how people could sit comfortably in a group and not talk. Why does my husband feel completely content to say nothing in a conversation? Hes highly intelligent and has
22、 wonderful opinions but hell sit quietly and just listen. Even when hes asked a pointed question, hell answer with few words while still communicating effectively. What a talent!Can you imagine being happy just listening? In surveying those I know who talk less than I do, I got two answersthey eithe
23、r didnt feel confident enough to speak up, or they just didnt feel the need to participate in the conversation. Of course there were other reasons for not talking, but these were the two most popular answers.The first one didnt work for me. Im just fine letting people know what I think about them, a
24、nd hopefully it will make the conversation much more interesting. The second one didnt work either. I do feel the need to participate. I feel it physically like an electrical pulse through my body; sometimes its so strong that it causes me to behave badly in the form of interrupting or speaking in a
25、n unusually loud voice. I had to look further.An interesting thing happened on this journey to the power of quiet. During my weekly yoga class, it came to me like an answer so clear that the words rang in my head like soft, heavenly bells.I talked too much so people would know I cared about them. It
26、 was my way of taking care of those I love. I decided before my fortieth birthday, that from that day forward, those around me would know I loved them, and cared what they thought and felt, but I was going to practice the power of quiet. As my forty-second birthday approaches, I can say that decidin
27、g to talk less has been more about focusing on quality rather than quantity. Ive found that listening more shows those who I care about that I really do care how they feel. Now when I break in, it means more to them. Oh, sure, I still have my short periods of talking too much, but for the most part
28、this has been one resolution that I can call a success.24. The writer was determined to practice the power of quiet because of _. A. other peoples criticisms B. her reflections on her past life C. her mothers advice D. her age25. In Paragraph 3 the writer mentions her husband mainly _. A. to show ho
29、w one communicates effectively B. to explain the reason for his silence in a conversation C. to give her high opinion of his communication skills D. to give an example of those who have the power of quiet26. By “I had to look further”, the writer means she had to _. A. look into the future in order
30、to succeed in practicing the power of quiet B. try harder to prevent herself from talking too much C. find out other reasons why she should talk less D. survey people in other areas who talk littleCBeing less than perfectly well-dressed in a business setting can result in a feeling of great discomfo
31、rt that may well require treatment to remove or clear. And the sad truth is that “clothing mismatches” on the job can ruin the day of the person who is wearing the inappropriate attire(着装)and the people with whom he or she comes in contact.Offices vary when it comes to dress codes. Some businesses h
32、ave very high standards for their employees and set strict guidelines for office attire, while others maintain a more relaxed attitude. However, it is always important to remember that no matter what your companys attitude is regarding what you wear, you are working in a business environment and you
33、 should dress properly. Certain items may be more appropriate for evening wear than for a business meeting, just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment. Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position. A senior vice president has a d
34、ifferent image to maintain than that of a secretary or sales assistant. Like it or not, you will be judged by your personal appearance.This is never more apparent than on “dress-down days”, when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could. In fact, people will pay more att
35、ention to what you wear on dress-down days than on “business professional” days. Thus, when dressing in “business casual” clothes, try to put some good taste into your wardrobe choices, recognize that the “real” definition of business casual is to dress just one notch(等级) down from what you would no
36、rmally wear of business-professional attire days.Remember, there are borders between your career and our social life. You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business. Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there. Is the fina
37、l destination the opera, the beach, or the office? Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make the manand the woman. When in doubt, always misjudge on the side of dressing slightly more traditionally than the situation demands.27. What is the passage mainly abou
38、t?A. How to dress properly in a business setting.B. A president of a company should dress differently from a secretary or sales assistant.C. The differences between professional and casual dress.D. Improper dress will make a person feel uncomfortable.28. Which of the following statements is true?A.
39、Every company has strict rules regarding office dress.B. You can wear whatever you like if your company doesnt have standards for dressing.C. You should dress according to the business setting even when there are no fixed rules.D. In companies with relaxed rules on office dress, you cant spot a mana

Peoples clothes on dress-down days dont receive much attention.C. On dress-down days, you can wear whatever you like.D. People are usually more careful about wh
41、at they wear on dress-down days than on other occasions.30. Which of the following is NOT the rule in the passage with regard to business dress?A. For a business meeting and a concert, you should dress differently.B. Remember to ask others for advice when you are not sure about what to dress.C. Thin

43、etimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 31 Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.The reason why any of us
44、take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 32 As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why arent we all jumping out of air
45、planes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 33 No ma
46、tter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 34 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for ri
47、sk as well. 35 For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active. As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, well continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the
48、pool.It all depends on your character.Those are the risks you should jump to take.Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.How
49、ever, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.第三部分: 语言应用（共两节，满分30分）第一节: 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。At just 18 years old, Ca

Although you might be emb
61、arrassed to admit how many times you do this, dont worry - psychological findings have shown its 57 (complete) normal.In fact, the pleasure we have from getting a like is equal to 58 of eating chocolate or winning money, and we cant help wanting more. According to the findings of the UCLA Brain Mapp
62、ing Center, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit (反馈电路)in the teens brains are particularly sensitive, and the social and visual parts of their brains were activated when they received likes 59 anInstagram-like social network.The research also showed that though the t
63、humbs up might come from complete 60 (strange), the good they have from it worked all the same. So, does it mean we should try our best to win as 61 thumbs up as possible? Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention.In Why are people eager for attention by M.Farouk Radw
64、an, he explained several cases 62 people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to copy these conditions. 63 (feel) overlooked, neglected and unappreciated might also lead you to long for atten
65、tion. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple.If people could
66、 adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem(自尊) but on something larger than their self, , such as what they can create 64 contribute to others, they would be 65 (little)likely to be affected by some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem, wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker i
67、n the Journal of Social Issues. Crocker suggests that its about having a goal that is bigger than the self. So perhaps the answer to our addiction to likes is simply to focus on something larger than ourselves - a tall order, but a worthy one.第四部分: 写作（共两节，满分25分）第一节: 应用文写作（满分10分）假如你是学生会主席李华，你校要举办首届英语

93、. It is an unusual college. It is located high in the mountains in California, not in a college town. The campus is a collection of old buildings with no beautiful classrooms. The only college-like thing about Deep Springs is its library. Students can use the 17000 books 24 hours a day. The library
94、is never crowded because there are only 24 students at the college, and they are all male. There are only five professors. These teachers believe in the college, but they are not well-paid. In fact, they only get paid about 9000 dollars a year. The college gives teachers and students something more
95、important than money peace and quiet. There is no place like Deep Springs. Students are there to learn and they cannot run away from their problems because there is no place to run to. At most colleges, students can close their books and go to a film, or they can go out to restaurants or parties, but the students at Deep Springs have completely different activities. They can talk to each other or their teachers, or they can go out for a walk in the mountains, and that s about it. Deep Springs is far from the world of restaurants and cinemas. There isnt even one television set on campus.
