19、，满分20分）We read a story about a woman who moved to a small town. After being there a short time, she 36 to her neighbor about the poor service she received at the local drugstore. She was hoping her new acquaintance would repeat her 37 to the stores owner. The next time the 38 went to the drugstore,
20、the druggist greeted her with a big smile, told her how 39 he was to see her again, and said he hoped she liked their town. He also offered himself 40 a resource to the woman and her husband as they got 41 . Then he took care of her order quickly and efficiently.Later the woman reported the unbeliev
21、able 42 to her friend. “I suppose you told him how poor I thought the 43 was?” she declared. “Well, no,” the neighbor said. “ 44 and I hope you dont mindI told him you were 45 at the way he had built up this small town drugstore, 46 that you thought it was one of the best-run drugstores youd ever se
22、en.”That womans neighbor understood that people 47 respect. In fact, most people will do nearly anything for you if you treat them 48 . And that means making it clear to them that their 49 are important, their preferences are respected, and their opinions are 50 . It means giving them the benefit of
23、 the doubt. Or as poet-philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson put it, “Every man is 51 to be valued by his best moments.”Where love focuses on giving to others, respect shows a 52 to receive from them.

35、y reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates wearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyo
36、ne to act this way?”Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my
37、home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at
38、 the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip （掷） a coin. Headsthe commander, and tailsthe peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before
39、this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became qu
40、iet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second c
41、hance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmasters office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing mome
42、nt at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!58. What did the authors classmates think about his report? A. Controversial. B. Ridiculous. C. Boring. D. Puzzling.59. Why was the author confused about the task? A. He was unfamilia
43、r with American history B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin C. He forgot his teachers instruction D. He was new at the school60. In the end, the author turned things around _ A. by redoing his taskB. through his own efforts C. with the help of his grandfatherD. under the guidance of his hea
44、dmasterCExercise may help to safeguard the mind against depression（沮丧）through previously unknown effects on working muscles, according to a new study involving mice. Mental health experts have long been aware that even mild, repeated stress can contribute to the development of depression and other m
45、ood disorders in animals and people. Scientists have also known that exercise seems to cushion against depression. But precisely how exercise, a physical activity can reduce someones risk for depression, a mood state, has been mysterious. So for the new study, researchers at the Karolinska Institute
46、 in Stockholm studied the brains and behavior of mice in a complicated and novel fashion.We cant ask mice if they are feeling cheerful or in low spirits. Instead, researchers have pictured certain behaviors that indicate depression in mice. If animals lose weight, stop seeking out a sugar solution w
47、hen its available because, probably, they no longer experience normal pleasures or give up trying to escape from the cold-water zone just freeze in place, they are categorized as depressed. And in the new experiment, after five weeks of frequent but low-level stress, such as being lightly shocked, m
48、ice displayed exactly those behaviors. They became depressed. The scientists could then have tested whether exercise blunts (延缓) the risk of developing depression after stress by having mice run first. But, frankly, from earlier research, they wanted to know how, so they bred pre-exercised mice. A w
49、ealth of earlier research by these scientists and others had shown that aerobic exercise, in both mice and people, increases the production within muscles of an enzyme (酶) called PGC-1alpha. The Karolinska scientists suspected（怀疑） that this enzyme somehow creates conditions within the body that prot
50、ect the brain against depression. Then, the scientists exposed the animals, which without exercising, were in high levels of PGC-1alpha to five weeks of mild stress. The mice responded with slight symptoms of worry. But they did not develop depression. They continued to seek out sugar and fought to
51、get out of the cold-water zone. Their high levels of PGC-1alpha appeared to make them depression-resistant（抵抗的）. Finally, to ensure that these findings are relevant to people, the researchers had a group of adult volunteers complete three weeks of frequent endurance training, consisting of 40 to 50
52、minutes of moderate cycling or jogging. The scientists conducted muscle biopsies (活体检查) before and after the program and found that by the end of the three weeks, the volunteers muscle cells contained substantially more PGC-1alpha than at the studys start.The finding of these results, in the simples
53、t terms, is that “you reduce the risk of getting depression when you exercise,” said Maria Lindskog, a researcher at the Karolinska Institute.61. The researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm conducted the new study hoping to know_. A. if exercise cushions against depressionB. what can le
54、ad to depression in animals and people C. if stress can contribute to the development of depressionD. how exercise contributes to reducing someones risk for depression 62. We can infer from the new experiment conducted by researchers at the Karolinska Institute that mice are depressed except when _.
55、A. they attempt to escape from the cold-water zoneB. they stop searching for the sugar waterC. they stand still in place D. they cant experience normal pleasures any longer63. Researchers asked a group of adult volunteers to complete three weeks of frequent endurance training in order to _.A. know i
56、f exercise can help to safeguard the mind against depressionB. know if they can endure 40 to 50 minutes of moderate cycling or joggingC. ensure they can lose weight after moderate cycling or jogging D. confirm the findings above are also relevant to people64. It can be concluded from the passage tha
57、t_.A. the mice with high levels of PGC-1alpha are easier to develop depressionB. athletes are more likely to develop depression than ordinary peopleC. the enzyme called PGC-1alpha helps to reduce depressionD. in the past mental health specialists didnt know exercise could help reduce depressionD In
58、2004, when my daughter Becky was ten, she and my husband, Joe, were united in their desire for a dog. As for me, I shared none of their canine lust. But why, they pleaded. “Because I dont have time to take care of a dog.” But well do it. “Really? Youre going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the
59、dog?” Yes, yes, and yes. “I dont believe you.” We will. We promise. They didnt. From day two （everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day）, neither thought to walk the dog. While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to schedule her vet appointments, to f
60、eed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one. As she looked up at the three new humans in her life （small, medium, and large）, she calculated, “The medium one is the sucker in the pack.” Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld （心灵融合）. Shed look at me with those sad
61、 brown eyes of hers, beam her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she became my feet as I read, and splaying across my stomach as I watched television. Even so, part of me continued to resent walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised. No
62、t fair, Id balk （不心甘情愿地做） silently as she and I walked. “Not fair,” Id loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home. Then one day January 1, 2007, to be exact my husbands doctor uttered an unthinkable word: leukemia （白血病）. With that, I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospi
63、tal, doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of hospitalizations, Becky, 12 at the time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moments notice for medical emergencies.
64、Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained. Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with. As the months went by, I began to realize that I actual
65、ly wanted to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the days medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the days upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise. When
66、 serious illness visits your household, its not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you know acts differently. Not Misty. Take her for a walk, and she had no interest in Joes blood counts or bone marrow test results. On the
67、street or in the park, she had only one thing on her mind: squirrels! She was so joyous that even on the worst days, she could make me smile. On a daily basis she reminded me that life goes on. After Joe died in 2009, Misty slept on his pillow. Im grateful to a point. The truth is, after years of ba
68、lking, Ive come to enjoy my walks with Misty. As I watch her chase after a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminds me, too, that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future, theres almost always some me
69、asure of joy to be extracted from the moment.65. Why didnt the writer agree to raise a dog at the beginning of the story?A. She was afraid the dog would get the family into trouble.B. It would be her business to take care of the dog.C. Her husband and daughter were united as one.D. She didnt want to

The elephant revealed that calmness would be obtained when ones senses and attention were focused. (32词)Inspired by what the elephant said, I realized the ability to focus ones attention is
91、 the key to success. Any person, if easily distracted, is unable to achieve his success.This reminds me of what happened in my primary school. I once signed up for too many various after-class activities. As a result, I didnt spend enough time on my studies. Consequently, I fell behind and failed in exams.Since then I know that one should focus on one thing before it is well done. As a Senior Three student, having set a clear goal, I will give priority to it, trying to resist any temptation. Im fully aware that only with a determined mind can I achieve my goal.
