2、e expert Dr.Dirk Helbing says understanding more about ants could help solve one of the headaches of modern life road congestion.His team set up an “ant motorway” with two routes of different widths from the nest to some sugar syrup (糖浆). Soon the narrower route became congested. But when an ant ret
3、urning along the congested route to the nest collided with another ant just starting out, the returning ant pushed the newcomer onto the other path. However, if the returning ant had enjoyed a troublefree journey it did not redirect the newcomer.The result was that just before the shortest route bec

The team found that even though ants being rerouted sometimes took a longer route, they still got to the

9、wcomer to wait here patiently.CThe ant cant redirect the newcomer.DThe ant will push the newcomer to the other route, so traffic jams wont form.解析：选D由第三段的第三句话可知答案。4Whats the advice that Dr.Helbing gives us?AThe cars cannot be allowed to communicate with vehicles coming in the opposite direction.BThe

Here are som
11、e tips that can make a big difference：Watch what you say. Children are very sensitive to parents words. Remember to praise your child not only for a job well done, but also for effort.But be truthful. For example, if your child doesnt make the soccer team, avoid saying something like, “Well, next ti
12、me youll work harder and make it.” Instead, say something like “Well you didnt make the team, but Im really proud of the effort you put into it.”Be a positive role model. If you are excessively harsh (严酷的) on yourself, pessimistic, or unrealistic about your abilities and limitations. Your child may
13、eventually mirror you. Raise your own selfesteem, and your child will have a great role model.Identify and redirect your childs inaccurate beliefs. Its important for parents to identify kids irrational beliefs about themselves, whether they are about perfection, attractiveness, ability, or anything
14、else. Helping your child set more accurate standards and be more realistic in evaluating himself or herself will help your child have a more healthy selfconcept. For example, a child who does very well in school but struggles with math may say, “I cant do math. Im a bad student.” Not only is this a
15、false generalization, but its also a belief that will set your child up for failure. Encourage your child to see the situation in its true light. A helpful response might be：“You are a good student. You do well in school. Math is just a subject that you need to spend more time on. Well work on it to
16、gether.”Help your child become involved in constructive experiences. Activities that encourage cooperation rather than competition are especially helpful in fostering selfesteem. For example, mentoring (辅导的) programs in which an older child helps a younger one learn to read can do wonders for both c

20、达的意思相反，因此单词的意思是“不合理的”。CLife is difficult.It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it. Then life is no longer difficult.Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties re
21、present a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or, loneliness or regret
22、 or anger or fear.These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems
23、 are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. A
24、s Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.9From the passage, it can be inferred that _.Aeverybody has problemsBwe become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of lifeClife is diffi

This was 28 years ago, but wherever Dr Vincent are, I want to thank him for not only _39_ my life, but helping me live a(n) _40_ productive life.21A.seriousBdeadlyCheavy Dstrange解析：选A从下文中“I nee
46、ded heart operation”的情况看，这里是“serious heart problem”。其中deadly“致命的”；heavy“沉重的”；strange“奇怪的”，这些意思均不符合题意。22A.will BpatienceCmoney Denergy解析：选C根据下文中“get financial help”可以知道，这里指妈妈没有钱，而不是没有“毅力、耐心或精力”。23A.should BwouldCshall Dmust解析：选B此处是过去将来时态的情景。本句的意思是“不做手术就会活不到13岁”。should和shall“应该”；must“必须”，都不符合上下文的意思。24
47、A.keeping BlosingCholding Dgetting解析：选D结合本句后面的“several organizations”和“get financial help”，这里是指“和几个组织取得联系之后”，get in touch with“和取得联系”符合题意。25A.able BreadyCeager Dhappy解析：选A此处说明Dr Vincent具备这种能力。be able to do sth.意思是“能够做某事”；be ready to do sth.“准备做某事”；be eager to do sth.“渴望做某事”；be happy to do sth.“高兴做某事
48、”。根据它们的意思，A项符合这里的情景。26A.quiet BrichChonest Dgentle解析：选D结合下文Dr Vincent对“我”的言行举止来看，Dr Vincent是一位“温文尔雅、善良而且有耐心的”人，所以用gentle来形容他很恰当。27A.check BresearchCtest Dwatch解析：选C根据“before operation”可知，此处是指做手术之前“test”。check“检查，核实”；research“研究”；watch“观看”；test“检验，测试”，侧重于通过一定的技术、仪器等手段。28A.called on Bcalled atCcalled
49、up Dcalled in解析：选D从上文中的“I was crying”到下文中的“Dr Vincent to calm me down”可知，“我”哭的时候Dr Vincent并不在场，所以这时是“call in”。call on指“拜访某人”；call at指“拜访某地”；call up有“打电话”的意思；call in在此处的意思是“请进来”。29A.prevent BcomfortCprotect Dmove解析：选B上文中的“.to calm me down”是重要的解题线索；所以选comfort(安慰)；而prevent“阻止”；protect“保护”；move“移动”，这些均和
50、上下文的意思不符。30A.Later BHoweverCInstead DLuckily解析：选A联系上文中的“have a test”可知，“后来”(later)才到了做手术的时间。这四个词都是副词，later“后来”；luckily“幸运地”；instead“代替”；however“然而”，表示转折。根据上下文的逻辑关系及意义，这里指“后来”。 31A.At times BIn timeCAt the time DIn no time解析：选Cat times“有时候”；in time“及时地”；at the time“那时候”；in no time“马上”。根据上下文语境，“我”在那时是
51、“the second or third person to have it”。32A.surprised BfrightenedCsatisfied Ddelighted解析：选B根据本段中的“I was crying”以及“I was only the second or third person to have it.”等内容都可以看出“我”是害怕的(frightened)。33A.nothing BanythingCsomething Deverything解析：选D根据本句中的“Dr Vincent reassured me he would see to it that . ”，是
52、想说明一切(everything)都会好的。其他选项和此处的语境不一致。34A.extremely BspeciallyCfairly Dhardly解析：选A根据后面“.but very successful”所表示出的逻辑关系，说明手术是“十分”(extremely)痛苦地。35A.took BcarriedCbrought Dheld解析：选C从上文能够推测出，这里是指Dr Vincent给我“带来”(bring)一个可爱的小动物。take强调“拿走”；carry侧重“携带”；hold“拿着”。36A.thing BawardCsupport Dgift解析：选D联系上文中的“broug
53、ht me a lovely animal”，和下文中的“I gave him a hug”可以选出正确选项。37A.made BtookClost Dwasted解析：选B根据后面的“the time”知道，这里指“花费”(take)时间；A、C和D项均不符合题意。38A.alone BstrangeCcomfortable Dsick解析：选A根据上文中的“a scared little girl”，说明这里作者手术后没人陪伴，其感觉是“孤单的”(alone)。39A.giving BsavingCsending Dpassing解析：选B结合“This was 28 years ago”
54、说明这位医生当年“拯救”了作者的性命；save ones life是“救了某人的命”。此处描述了作者的感受，也是全文的一个总结。40A.common BusualCnormal Dordinary解析：选C这里是指过正常的(normal)生活。common“常见的”；usual“通常的”；normal“正常的”；ordinary“普通的”。.语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)Last summer, my friend and I hired a car and headed for Toronto.
