As Christmas drew near
2、er, her desire for a bicycle seemed to die, or so we thought. We bought some lovely dolls, and a doll house. Then, much to our surprise on December 23rd, she said that she “ really wanted a bike more than anything else”.It was just too late, with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buy
3、ing last minute gifts, to take the time to select the “right bike” for our little girl. It was Christmas Eve around 9:00 pm. Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, lay comfortably in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child. “What if I make a little
4、bicycle out of clay（黏土）and write a note that she could trade the clay model for a real bike” her dad asked. “This is an expensive item and she is such a big girl, it would be much better for her to pick it out.” So he spent the next four hours painstakingly （尽心地） working with clay to make a tiny bik
5、e On Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud. “Does this mean that I trade this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?” Beaming, I said, “Yes,” Almie
6、had tears in her eyes when she replied “I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. Id rather keep this than get a real bike.” At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!21. In the end, Almies parents failed to buy her a new bicy
7、cle as a Christmas gift because A. her desire for a bicycle disappeared graduallyB. they thought dolls were more suitable for her than a bikeC. she preferred the bike made of clayD. her parents had no time to select a “right bike” for her22. What can be inferred from the last sentence of the text？ A
8、. The parents were happy and encouraged.B. The parents felt comfortable and relaxed.C. The parents were moved and felt proud of the girl.D. The parents felt disappointed and sorry for the girl.23. What is the best title for the text? A. A Clay BikeB. A Great and Considerate FatherC. A Lovely Little
9、GirlD. An Unforgettable Christmas EveBNowadays, people all over the world have various ways of dealing with a common cold. Some take over-the-counter（非处方的）medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies（治疗）like herbal tea or chicken soup. However, here is the tough truth about the c
10、ommon cold: nothing really cures it. Then why do people sometimes still believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, a professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so its easy to believ
11、e its medicine rather than time that deserves to be praised, USA Today reported. To many of us, it still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something as common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To understand it,
12、you first need to know how antiviral（抗病毒的）drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw（拼图）, which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D
13、model to study its surface before they can develop an antiviral drug that is effective enough. The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus（鼻病毒）A and B. But they didnt find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them lead to the
14、common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B dont work well when used against C. “This accounts for most of the previous failures of drug trials against Thinovirus,” study leader Professor Ann Palmenberg at University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, told Science Daily. Now, more than 1
15、0 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly-detailed 3-D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses. With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon,
16、we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that dont really work.24. What does the author think of popular remedies for curing a common cold? A. They are really quite effective.B. They are slightly helpful.C. They still need to be improved.D. They actually dont work.25. How do antiviral d
17、rugs work? A. By identifying the viruses and breaking them up directly.B. By reshaping the top layers of the target cold viruses.C. By attacking the viruses one after another like finishing a jigsaw.D. By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.26. What can we infer from the passa
18、ge? A. The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.B. Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold.C. Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.D. Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.27. What is the best tit
19、le for this passage? A. Drugs against cold virusesB. Helpful home remediesC. No current cure for common coldD. Research on cold virusesCMy brother Stanley died last January from cancer, and I spent a lot of time with him in hospital over his last few months. I witnessed the care he received and, at
20、the time, I thought it was poor. It shocked and hurt me. While Stanley was sick, I was a medical student. I therefore had an investment (投入) in the medical profession. It gave me an insiders view of the care Stanley received, when most people spending time with a very sick loved one only have an out
21、side view. However, as I see now, it made me judge the care that his doctors and nurses gave him too harshly (严厉地). We experienced long waits in emergency departments, and doctors were unsure of the particulars of Stanleys case. We waited around for doctors to arrive, but they seldom turned up. But
22、worst of all was Stanleys senior doctor. Near the end, he announced coldly that there was nothing left to try. “All the options have been used,” he said. And with that, he departed (离开), never to be seen again. All this affected the way I thought about my studies. Did I want to work in a field where
23、 people treated patients as if they were numbers on a chart? After Stanley passed away, I finished my studies and graduated with all the rest of the students in my year. They went on to get jobs in hospitals, while I took a year out. I simply couldnt face working in medicine. Eventually, I applied f
24、or and got a position as a cancer doctor in a busy clinic in a big city. Now I was a cancer doctor myself, and I often had to tell patients bad news. It is a terribly difficult thing to inform someone that they have a grave illness. I also found that I couldnt always answer patients questions. They
25、would want to know whether they could be cured, or how long they would live for, but it wasnt always possible to say. It was then that I understood what a difficult job health providers do. It made me think back to my encounters with doctors and nurses when Stanley was sick. Perhaps what I had thoug
26、ht was unprofessionalism or coldness was just a reflection of the demanding nature of the work. I began to see my patients as Stanley, and myself no longer as his sister, but one of his caregivers. Now I was in their shoes the people who spend every day caring for others.I still miss Stanley horribl
27、y, but at least now the anger has gone.28. Why was the author upset in hospital?A. It was too late to cure her brother.B. The care given was far below her expectations.C. The treatment was too painful for the author to bear.D. She couldnt help the doctors with her medical knowledge.29. The underline
28、d word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _.A. the insiders view of the careB. the care her brother receivedC. the authors medical professionD. the authors long stay in hospital30. The author wrote this article mainly to _.A. give advice on how to become a doctorB. stress the importance of being a caregi
29、ver in daily lifeC. share how she became a doctor after her brothers deathD. explain how her attitude toward being a caregiver changed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.When we eat potato chips, its often difficult to stop until the bags empty. We open a bag of chips, and
30、before we know it, theyre all gone. So why cant we control ourselves when it comes to eating this salty snack? 31 Scientists at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, US, found that certain neurons (神经元) can make us want to eat salt. The neurons take note of whether our bodies are short
31、 of sodium (钠), the main part of salt. 32 To come to their conclusion, the scientists did experiments on mice. They found that when mice lack sodium, their body produces a chemical. 33 More research showed that adding salt to meals makes people enjoy their food more, which may cause us to continue e
32、ating even if were full. Scientists from Deakin University in Australia asked healthy people to eat the same food for lunch for four weeks. 34 At the same time, the scientists measured how much these people ate. They also asked the people how they felt about each meal-if they felt happy or were stil
33、l hungry after eating, for example. The results showed that salt made people consume 11 percent more food than usual. 35 “But when we add salt to that food, all of a sudden those controls are gone,” researcher Russell Keast told Time. So the next time you finish a whole bag of chips to yourself, don
34、t feel so bad about it just blame it on your brain.A. Eating less salt can be difficult at first.B. Then, they send signals to our brain to encourage us to eat more salt.C. When eating low-salt meals, they had better control over how much they ate.D. It could be down to something inside our brain.E.
35、 While too much salt can lead to health problems, not enough can cause depression.F. This chemical then makes the neurons in question become active.G. Each week, the amount of salt in the food was changed.第三部分：英语知识运用 (共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项,并
