I just cant come with an answer.”Mom was aware that her sons selfrespect had been damaged by the ranking system,but she didnt know what to say to help.She tended to say that intelligence differs and that yes,her sons friend really
27、 was the smarter boy.But that would so upset her son .Thank goodness she resisted the temption (诱惑)to say it .Her son and his friend went on tohigh school that year,but despite trying as hard as he could,her sons friend still outdid him.But she was proud of her boy for his hard work, sincerely proud
28、,It was aroud this time that she decided to take him on a trip to the seaside,On the trip,she at last found an answer for him.Today her son no longer care about rankings.He doesnt have to,for he himself is now the top of the class at the national unversity he attands,After university his Teachers an
29、d peers fully expect him to have promising career.Invited to speak to his old high school,he mentioned a valuable childhood experience,It concerned that holiday his mother had prepared for them:“Once,on a trip to the sea,my mother and I were lying on the beach,She pionted to the sea and said to me:D
30、o you see the seabirds fighting for food out there? When a wave comes near,the little birds rise quickly The clumsy(笨拙的) seagulls are far slower and have to struggle to get away from the wave.But these clumsy birds prove to have the biggest,strongest wings,which allow the bird to travel the futhest,

34、eaning with the underlined word “outdid”? A.was equal to B.laughed at C did better than D.worked harder thanBThomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, was a good and tireless writer, and he wrote The Declaration of Independence. There is much we can learn from him. Here are some of
35、 the things he said and wrote:Go and see. Jefferson believed that a free man obtains knowledge from many sources besides books, and personal investigation is important as well.Judge for yourself. Jefferson refused to accept other peoples opinions without careful thought. “Neither believe nor reject
36、anything，” he wrote to his nephew.Learn from everyone. Jefferson once visited the French nobleman, Lafayette, and said to him, “You must go into the peoples home as I have done ，look into their cooking pots and eat their bread. If you will only do this, you may find out why people are dissatisfied.
37、”Do what you believe is right. In a free country, there will always be conflicting ideas， and this is a source of strength. It is not unquestioning agreement but conflict that keeps freedom alive. Though Jefferson was for many years the object of strong criticism, he never answered his critics. He e
38、xpressed his philosophy, “There are two sides to every question. If you take one side with decision and act on it with effect, those who take the other side will of course resent(憎恶）your actions. ”Trust the future and trust the young. Jefferson felt that the present should never be chained to custom
39、s which have lost their usefulness. “The earth belongs to the living generation. ” He didnt fear new ideas, nor did he fear the future. “How much pain has been caused by evils which have never happened?” he remarked，“I expect the best, not the worst. ”60.

42、fersons Philosophy C. Jeffersons TeachingD. Jeffersons Life StoryCIn the late 1970s,many people in North America turned their attention to environmental problems ，and new steel and glass skyscrapers were widely criticized. Some ecologists (生态学家）pointed out that a number of tall buildings in a city o
43、ften overburden public transportation.Skyscrapers are also lavish consumers of electric power and water. In just one recent year, the addition of 17 million square feet of skyscraper office space in New York City itself has already raised the top daily demand for electricity by 120, 000 kw enough to
44、 supply the entire city of Albany in New York area for a single day.Glasswalled skyscrapers can also be especially wasteful. The heat loss ，or gain， through a wall of half 一 inch plate glass is more than ten times that through a typical ordinary wall filled with bricks or board. In order to decrease
45、 the pressure on heating and air conditioning equipment, builders of skyscrapers have begun to use doublelayered glass ，and reflective glasses coated with silver or gold mirror films that could reduce glare (强光）as well as heat gain. However, mirror walled skyscrapers may raise the temperature of the
46、 surrounding air and affect neighboring buildings as well.Skyscrapers put a severe pressure on a citys sanitation (卫生）facilities, too. If fully occupied, the towers just within the central area of New York would alone produce 2. 25 million gallons of waste water each yearas much as the city size of
47、Stanford， Connecticut, which has a population of more than 109，000.63.The underlined phrase“ lavish consumers ”in the 2nd paragraph probably means _ A. trash producers B. great spenders C. pressure makers D. poor customers64.Glass walls of skyscrapers are specially mentioned in order to _.A. show ho
48、w skyscrapers manage to lessen their pressureB. explain why skyscrapers can control its air conditionsC. describe further how wasteful skyscrapers could be D. present the stability of skyscrapers in modern buildings65.From the last paragraph we can learn that _.A. central New York skyscrapers are a
49、large waste water producer B. the central area of New York is as large as the city of StanfordC. more than 109，000 people live in the skyscrapers in New YorkD. New York produces 2. 25 million gallons of waste water each year66.When the writer talks about skyscrapers ，his tone sounds _A. positiveB. d
50、oubtfulC. gratefulD. negative DYawning sends out certain messages -either “Oh ，this movie is so boring” or “I probably need to get some sleep”. But did you know that a yawn can also help your brain to cool down when it is overheated?A new study, led by a research team at Princeton University, has in
51、dicated that yawning could be the brains natural way of regulating temperature. People yawn more often when the temperature outdoors is lower than their body temperature but are less likely to yawn when it is hotter outdoors, according to Sciencedaily. com.The research team did an experiment on 160
52、people, 80 in summer and 80 in winter, to examine how often they yawned at different air temperatures. The study found that people yawned more often in winter than in summer. Scientists say that when the air temperature is lower outside the body, there is heat exchange between the overheated brain a
53、nd the cool air. But when the air temperature is higher than or equal to the body, people are less likely to yawn because the hot air they breathe in will make the brain even hotter.When people yawn, their jaw is also stretched ，which increases blood flow and may also help cool the brainThe study sh
54、owed that the amount someone yawned could be related to the amount of time they spent outside. The longer they spent outside in summer, the less they yawned. Nearly 40 percent of participants yawned within their first five minutes outside, but after that the percentage was reduced to less than 10 pe
55、rcent.However, the result was the opposite in winter. The number of people who yawned increased when they spent more than five minutes outdoors. But the change was only slight compared to summertime.According to Gallup, this is the first report to show that yawning frequencies change depending on se
56、ason. This could help us to understand better the way our brains work. It may also help us understand the reason why frequent yawning can sometimes be a sign of brain disease.67. The purpose of the experiment is _.A.to find the frequency of peoples yawningB.to indicate brain can regulate temperature
57、 naturallyC. to prove people yawn in winter and in summer equallyD.to show the real reason why people yawn68.The information we get from Paragraphs 5 and 6 is that _.A.longer outdoor summertime results in more yawnsB. yawning frequency increases with outdoor timeC.yawning frequency changes with outd
58、oor time D.longer outdoor wintertime leads to fewer yawns69. Acorrding to the text，people yawn more often _.A.when the air temperature is equal to the bodyB.when the hot air breathed in makes the brain hotterC. when the air temperature is higher than the bodyD. when the air temperature is lower outs

What could be the best title for the text?A.Yawning Is A Sign of Brain DiseaseB.Yawning Cools Your BrainC.Yawning Benefits Your BodyD.Yawning Carries Some Information 第二卷 非选择题 共45分第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分lO分） 阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意各小题的词数 要求)。A long red bridge stretches out a
60、cross water. It runs across the Golden Gate. This is not the entrance to some sacred (神圣的）land，but it is just as magical. The Golden Gate is where San Francisco Bay meets the Pacific Ocean, and at night the scene of the bridge lit up over the water takes your breath away.Welcome to San Francisco, a
61、place famous for its beautiful parks, hilly streets and lovely beaches. But the bridge is undoubtedly the most well-known symbol of the city. Before its completion in 1937, the bridge was considered impossible to build because of the foggy weather ，powerful winds, and strong ocean currents (洋流)in th
62、e city. However, despite the difficult conditions, the bridge was built in no more than four years. Its total length is nearly 2 kilometers.San Francisco ranks first on Lonely PlanetS list of best cities to visit in 2013. According to the worlds largest travel publisher, it came top as a result of i
63、ts cultural mix.According to the US 2010 census (人口普查），21 percent of the citys population is made up of Chinese people. San Franciscos Chinatown is the largest outside of Asia and the oldest in North America. Two traditional festivals, the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, are the biggest eve
