For several 37 all I could do was to 38 there and looked down at him. My first tho
20、ught was he must need 39 with his homework or he was trying to 40 me for some news.Finally I asked. “What was that all about?”“Nothing.” He said, “My teacher said we should 41 our parents that we love them and see what they say. Its 42 .”The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this
21、“experiment” and how the other parents had 43 .“Basically, most of the fathers had the 44 reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first 45 we try this”, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say.

22、he teacher explained. “feeling loved is an important part of 47 . Its something all human beings 48 . What I am trying to tell the children is that its too 49 we all dont express those feelings. A boy should be 50 to tell his dad that he loves him.”The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how 51
23、it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us.When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for 52 second. And just before he 53 away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you, too.”I dont know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pre

27、下列短文,从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项, 并将该项填在答题卡上。（A） At the bells ringMy mother had been in a deep sleep for three days. A Do Not Resuscitate (不要心肺复苏) sign hung over her bed. Every time I looked at the sign, I was sad. She was 88 years old and had had a long illness. She was still in her own apartment, but I h
28、ad arranged for round-the-clock nursing care for her. I did not leave her side during those three days. On the fourth morning, I asked my husband to pick me up and drive me home so that I could get clean clothes. My husband and I decided that we would stop at the funeral home (殡仪馆) to make arrangeme
29、nts. The doctor had said that she would not last more than a few days at most. We felt it would be better to make the funeral arrangements while we were still relatively calm, rather than after the emotional trauma (身体或精神上的创伤) ofdeath had set in. I quickly showered, dressed and threw a few clothes i
30、nto a bag. Then suddenly I changed my mind about stopping off at the funeral home. Something inside me toldme that we had to get back before it was too late. The nurse met me at the door. Its some kind of miracle! she shouted. Your mothers eyes are open! My mother was propped up (支撑) , staring strai
31、ght at me. She had a questioning look on her face, as if to ask: Where am I? Or, perhaps: Where am I going? I have replayed that look in my mind over and over again. It looked like fear of the unknown. She needed the comfort of being in my arms as she began her journey. I held her body gently, and s
32、oftly told her how much I loved her. Then I felt that she was gone. I asked the nurse how long my mothers eyes had been open before I arrived. Only a few minutes, the nurse said. When I heard you ring the bell downstairs, I said to your mother: Theres your daughter. Now dont die before she gets here
33、. And she did hold on. She waited for you. Something told me not to stop for anything on the way back to my mothers apartment; something told my mother to open her eyes when I rang the bell. It was some kind of miracle.56. What is the central theme of the article?A. The authors love for her mother.
34、B. The miracle before the authors mother died.C. To tell us not to wait until it is too late to show our love.D. How the authors mother lived with illness.57. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A. The authors mother was seriously ill because of an emotional trauma she
35、 had suffered. B. The author made the funeral arrangements before her mother died.C. The author moved to live with her mother when her mother got sick.D. The authors mother asked for nothing to be done if she stopped breathing.58 .Why did the author change her plan to stop off at the funeral home in
36、 the end? A. Because the nurse called to say her mother had gotten worse.B. Because she was told that her mother had been awake.C. Because she suddenly felt that she had to get back as quickly as possible.D. Because something inside her told her that her mother might recover.59. What can we conclude
37、 from the article?A. The authors mother didnt open her eyes until the author arrived.B. The authors mother died of fear of the unknown.C. The author and her mother had a short talk before her mother died.D. The author appreciated that she could keep her mother company before she died. B Jungle（丛林）co
38、untry is not friendly to man, but it is possible to survive there. Besides the right equipment, its vital(important) for you to know a few important things about woodcraft.A compass is always necessary if you dont want to get lost. Although the sun in the day and the stars at night can also help you
39、 to find your direction, they are not always available because of the often very thick jungle rooftop overhead.Keep calm if you lose your way. Try to decide how long it has been since you were sure of your position. Cut marks on four sides of a tree, so that you will be able to see them from any dir
40、ection. Except in an emergency, never try to travel through the jungle at night.Whenever possible, it is wise to follow streams and rivers that run in your general direction. This may give you many extra miles of travel. But in the end it will save time and energy. Nothing is more exhausting(tiring)
41、 than hacking a trail through unbroken jungle. Bamboo grows along the banks of many jungle streams. Since it is hollow and extremely strong, it makes a perfect raft.Finding water that is safe to drink can be a problem. Many clear and fresh-looking streams and rivers carry deadly germs. Such water mu
42、st always be boiled before you drink it. Luckily, the jungle has many kinds of plants and vines that give water. Water from almost all plants is pure enough to drink. But stay away from vines that have bitter or milky sap(树液).Many jungle plants also provide food. Before you go into the jungle, learn
43、 to recognize the varieties of plants that can be eaten. If you havent had a chance to do this, watch what kinds of fruit and nut the birds and monkeys choose. Such food is almost always safe for man. When you see an animal in the jungle, you can be sure that the source of food is somewhere close by
44、. That source may mean for you a difference between going to sleep well-fed or hungry.60.The underlined word “woodcraft” in the first paragraph most probably refers to .A. rafts made of wood and bambooB. suggestions for traveling in the jungleC. art of carving objects from woodD. obtaining(get) drin
45、king water from trees 61.Following streams and rivers will help you to .A. save many extra miles of travelB. keep away from dangerous animalsC. avoid crossing unbroken jungleD. have a constant source of drinking water62.The best way to be sure of enough food in the jungle is to .A. learn ahead of ti
46、me what plants can be eatenB. catch those animals other animals live onC. travel only along streams and riversD. watch the animals eating habits63.We can conclude from the passage that .A. the jungle is no place for us human beingsB. getting well prepared is a must for survival in the jungleC. nobod
47、y can get out of the jungle alive in the darkD. plants can provide us with both safe food and clean water COn the bus, every head is lowered to a cell phone, iPad, or other digital device (电子设备). But does this mean more and more people are getting into reading the digital way? According to a survey,
48、 only 1.2 percent of Chinese people say they read a lot. But 38.6 percent said they read on digital devices like cell phones and e-books. This is a 17.7 percent increase from 2010. Many experts are talking about a trend (趋势) toward fragmented (碎片式的) reading- reading many short messages or items on a
49、 digital device like a cell phone instead of one long text in a book. Zhao Jianmin, a professor at Shanghai University, said fragmented reading was part of modern life. The fast pace (节奏) of life leaves many people no time to sit and read a whole book, he said. So making use of fragmented time to re
50、ad is sure to be a trend. Fragmented reading has its advantages. People can get hold of large amounts of information and knowledge in a short time. Digital reading is faster than traditional deep reading. However, some experts fear the trend of digital reading will lead people to read in a shallow w
51、ay. According to Xu Guosheng, chief of the Application Research Office at the Chinese Academy of Press and Publication, fragmented reading makes it harder for people to reflect on what they read. He also warned fragmented reading could make people lazy about remembering facts because they know they
52、can always just search for answers online. Fragmented reading is sometimes good, but dont let it occupy all your time, suggested Tian Zhiling. He said it was important to read quality books in a deeper way, even if that meant forcing yourself to do so. He said we read not only for knowledge and for
53、practical use, but also, for spiritual satisfaction. He suggested people choose easy books first, then gradually move onto more difficult ones.64. What are the disadvantages of fragmented reading according to the article?a. It takes up too much time.b. It is too shallow.c. It makes people lazy about
54、 remembering things.d. Its hard to deal with the large amounts of information you get from fragmented reading.A. a, b B. b, c C. c, d D. a, d65. How does Tian Zhiling think people should read?A. They should make the most of their time on the bus to read on digital devices.B. They should spend days r
55、eading whole novels at a time.C. They should read on digital devices but also read quality books. D. They should read in an interactive and fun way rather than in the traditional way. 66. What can we conclude from the article? A. More Chinese people read a lot this year than in 2010. B. Students sho
56、uld force themselves to read in order to get high marks. C. Reading on a digital device is harmful to peoples physical health. D. The changes in peoples reading habits partly mirror the changes in society. 67. What is the main point of the article? A. The results of a national reading survey. B. An
57、explanation and analysis of a new trend in reading. C. The worldwide trend toward digital reading. D. A call to return to traditional deep reading. D I look in the mirror, and Im not happy with what I see. I dont have a perfect face. I look in the magazines and all I see are girls with fair hair, bl
58、ue eyes, and, of course, a-pretty little nose. Theyre on the outside of the buses that I take home, the television programs I watch, and the billboards I walk under. Almost every advertisement I see shows this human physical perfection. These billboards not only tell me what to drink, but also how t
59、o look.Our society place more importance on a persons physical beauty, rather than their ability, honesty and character. We have influenced women to go through painful surgeries（手术）and starve themselves to become this society constructed physical model. To be a beautiful woman in the 21st century do
60、esnt mean that you are a brilliant doctor or caring mother. It means you have the perfect jaw structure, eyes and lips. It means that you can be six feet tall and weigh one hundred and ten pounds.But what about the women who are starting to leave their youth? Instead of looking at aging as a sign of
61、 wisdom, we try to prevent the aging process(过程）. Its a kind of funny thing to want to look eighteen when fifty. Fifty is a relaxed age, when you can step back and look at all youve achieved(successfully complete something). It is when your hard work pays off. Unfortunately, our society just sees yo
62、u as “old”. To stop the aging process, women buy wrinkle creams, do eye lifts and face lifts. They spend thousands of dollars to win the hopeless battle against age. I remember when I was about thirteen years old and going through teens, I had oily hair, and a half developed body. I hated the way I
63、looked. I used to cry to my mother all the time, but she would just laugh and tell me that you dont want anyone to like your appearance. Its your heart that is important, because beauty fades. I knew that she was right. If you work on your heart enough, people will start to see the beauty in you, wh
64、ich lasts and remains on even after you die.68. The main idea of the first paragraph is that . A. the author doesnt have a perfect face B. women have to look beautiful C. photos of beautiful girls can be seen everywhere D. there are too many beauties in daily life69. Whats the authors attitude towar
65、ds being old? A. Its a pity that people have to get old. B. Its a fruitful and wise time. C. Its stupid to try to stay young. D. Its a pity that society looks down upon the old.70. It is that regard(s) the physical beauty as more important. A. women themselves B. the authors parents C. newspapers an
66、d magazines D. society71. Whats the authors opinion about beauty? A. The author doesnt like the beauties our society values. B. It is not important whether a person looks beautiful or not. C. It is a persons heart and inner qualities that are important rather than the physical beauty. D. The author
67、feels appearance is important to a person. E“Humans should not try to avoid stress any more just as they would not shun food, love or exercise,” said Dr. Hans Selye, the first physician to record the effects of stress on the body. While heres one question that continuous（持续的）stress is harmful, sever
68、al studies suggest that challenging unexpected and difficult situations can be good for you. In a 2001 study of 158 hospital nurses, those who faced considerable work demands but dealt with the challenge were more likely to say they were in good health. In a study at the Academic Center, researchers
69、 put volunteers through a stressful experience: a timed task that required memorizing a list followed by a short test. Those who did well on the memory test had an increase in levels of immunoglobulin A, which is the bodys first line of defense against germs(细菌). Stress makes the body produce certai
70、n stress hormones. In short bursts these hormones have a positive effect including improved memory function. They can help nerve cells deal with information and put it into storage, says Dr. Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University in New York. But in the long run these hormones can have a harmful eff
71、ect on the body and brain. “Continued stress is not good for you,” says Dr. Bruce, “its the short burst of stress that could be protective.”72. The passage is mainly about .A. how to avoid stress B. how to deal with stress effectivelyC. the benefits of the short burst of stress D. the effect of stre
72、ss hormones on memory73. The underlined word “shun” (Para. 1) most probably means . A. cut down on B. stay away from C. run out of D. put up with74.
