Our love of the natural world is partially baked into our genes, a study carried out by researchers from the University of Queensland and the National University of Singapore suggests. Using data collected by Twins UK, the most detailed and extensive twin study ever carried out, the team compared the genetic heritability (遗传可能性) of two types of trait—how strongly a person feels connected to nature, and the amount of time they spend in nature. They found that identical twins, who share almost all of their genes, were more similar to each other than the twins who share around half of their genes in their appreciation of nature.
This genetic influence was present in between 34 per cent for frequency of garden visits and 48 per cent for public nature space visits, they say. “I’m truly surprised by what we have found,” said study co-author Prof Richard Fuller, of the University of Queensland. “This means there may be genetic differences among people’s connection with natural environments and how they experience them. Our results help to explain why some people have a stronger desire than others to be in nature.” Previous studies have shown that the environment in which people are raised and live in, be it urban or rural, influences how strongly they desire to be among nature or seek outdoor experiences, with those in more rural areas having a closer relationship with nature. However, this is the first study to suggest that genetics plays a role in how strongly we feel a connection to nature.
As more and more people living in urban areas are reporting lower levels of happiness, and are at a higher risk of mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety, the study highlights the importance of bringing people closer to nature, the researchers say, “Spending a little time at home in the garden can be a great way to experience some nature.” said lead author of the study Dr Chia-Chen Chang, of the National University of Singapore. “Increasing accessibility to nature for urban residents through projects such as shared gardens will be hugely beneficial and will play an important part in improving people’s wellbeing overall.”
24、How did the researchers conduct the study
A. By analyzing the previous relevant data.
B. By tracking lifestyles and moods of twins.
C. By carrying out surveys among twins.
D. By filming daily behaviors of twins.
25、Why does Prof Richard Fuller feel surprised by the result
A. It implies that genetics may affect people’s connection with nature.
B. It shows that people prefer to visit gardens rather than public spaces.
C. It confirms that environment influences our desire for nature.
D. It means that rural residents have a closer relationship with nature.
26、What does Paragraph 3 mean
A. Garden is the only way for urban residents to experience nature.
B. The significance of nature in urban areas can’t be underestimated.
C. Urban residents spare no effort to live in harmony with nature.
D. Mental health problems get increasingly worse in urban areas.
27、Where is the passage most likely taken from
A. A journal. B. A book review. C. A speech. D. A novel.
She went on talking about her husband and how and why they’d moved here. I was starting to think I’d made a mistake by coming. But then she started talking about something else that really stirred my blood. She knew all about me and Tom Sawyer and the money we’d gotten! Only she said it was $10,000 instead of $6,000.
“Yes,” she said. And that poor boy. His pappy was a hard old man. He took that boy away, and next thing you know, the boy is murdered. He never had a chance.”
“Who done it ” I asked. I wanted to see what other folks knew about me and Pap.
“Some thought old man Fin did it himself, but that same night a slave ran away. They think it was the slave that killed him. Folks are out hunting for him right now, and there’s a $300 reward for whoever finds him.”
All that talk gave me the jitters. I needed to look busy, so I took up a needle off the table and tried to thread it. My hands shook, and I wasn’t doing a very good job. The woman smiled at me so I put the needle back down.
She kept looking at me pretty curious. Then she said, “What did you say your name was, honey ”
“M—Mary Williams.”
“I thought you said your name was Sarah.”
“Yes, ma’am. Mary is my middle name.”
“Come on,” she egged. “What’s your real name Is it Bill or Tom or Bob What is it ”
I was shaking like a leaf. I didn’t know what to say. “How’d you know I was a boy ”
“Cause when you thread a needle, you’re supposed to hold it still and put the thread through. You did just the opposite. Now tell me your real name.”
“George Peters,” I lied.
“Well, trot along now Sarah Mary Williams George Peters. And if you get into any trouble, just send word to me, Mrs. Judith Loftus.”
I rushed out and hopped into the canoe. I had to get back to Jim. I knew now that there were folks out there looking for him just to get that $300 reward.
28、In the sentence “His pappy was a hard old man”, whose father is the hard old man
A. Mary’s. B. Jim’s. C. Huck’s. D. George’s.

C. Exchanging the boy. D. Killing the boy.
30、Why did “I” take up a needle

A. From his looks. B. From his questions.
C. From his voice. D. From his behavior.
A number of studies have shown that employees who view their work as a calling tend to do better on subjective measures, such as work and life satisfaction, than those for whom a job is chiefly a means to a paycheck.
New research finds gains in objective terms too. The researchers began by analyzing data from the Wisconsin Study, which collected information on thousands of high school graduates over many years. Those who described their work as a calling in 2004 earned more than others that year, after various aspects were accounted for, and the pattern held when participants were surveyed again in 2011.
To test the relationship of causes and effects, the researchers created three videos in which an employee Sam spoke of his work as being a calling, or a job, or nothing special. Participants were asked to watch one of the videos before answering questions about what kind of bonus and raise “Sam” should receive and whether he should be promoted. Those who observed the “calling” Sam were far more likely than the others to award a bonus. They gave him higher raises than people gave to the “job” Sam, and they were more likely to recommend him for promotion.
Analyses showed that the higher rewards resulted from the feeling that the Sam who saw his job as a calling was a better performer and was more committed to the organization—even though the videos showed the same level of performance. The unfounded impression can also have negative effects, they said. “Managers might expect ‘calling’ employees to maintain positivity in the face of challenges; when they do not, these employees might experience worse negative reactions than ‘job’ employees”.
32、What kinds of employees does the passage talk about
A. Those from different customs. B. Those with different attitudes.
C. Those with different education. D. Those from different countries.
33、What do the words “the pattern held” mean in the second paragraph
A. The story stayed uninteresting. B. The feeling became stronger.
C. The situation remained unchanged. D. The drawing was valuable.
34、What’s the participants’ attitude towards the “calling” Sam
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproved. D. Unclear.
35、What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A. The “calling” Sam might be treated badly on certain occasions.
B. The “calling” Sam always performed better than other workers.
C. The wrong impression can have negative effects on managers.
D. The three videos that the employees watched were of little use.
三、七选五
36、Do you always fall asleep on bus journeys
①_______ I have been suffering from being unable to sleep for many years. Some nights when I can’t sleep, I’ll head to the coach where I can usually fall asleep within minutes. My friend also told me that sometimes he was stressed out by his work and he couldn’t sleep at night. But when he was traveling on the bus, he was able to sleep well. Since this happens regularly, I decided to find some answers. ②_______
One popular view is about the white noise. It is a continuous sound like the hum of tires or the purring of the car. White noise masks (掩盖) distracting noise and is helpful for people who have trouble getting sleep. ③_______ When you’re riding a vehicle, white noise is continuously emitted (发出), making it easier for passengers to drift off to dreamland.
Another view as to why it’s easy to fall asleep in buses or trains is because of the rocking (摇晃) movement that’s similar to what comforted us when we were babies. However, it’s not the movement itself that leads to a better sleep. ④_______ If you were rocked to sleep as a baby, you’d have that association (联想) that when you experience a rocking motion, you go to sleep.
An increase in carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) in public transportation can be one reason, too. ⑤_______ Carbon dioxide increases when there are lots of people in a small space. This will lead to lack of oxygen (氧气), which will affect the brain’s performance and reduce activity in the cerebral cortex, making people sleepier.
A. Rather, it’s the link between rocking and sleeping.
B. Why do we sleep better on the coach than in our bed
C. It may also help mothers settle babies with mild sleep problems.
D. Cars and other vehicles are a perfect environment that produces it.
E. Buses and trains get crowded every day with people going to and from work.
F. It seems to be much easier to fall asleep on a running bus than in the comfortable bed.
G. The running vehicle offers a comfortable rocking environment for those with sleep problems.
四、完形填空（15空）
If somebody informs you that you have a leaf in your hair, smile politely and say, “Oh. Thanks.” When you turn to find it is the cute guy who asks smart questions, try to look as 1 as possible. Brush the 2 out of your hair as though its presence was accidental, as though you’re not upset.
Remind yourself that you will likely find another among the thousands on the 3 . If he continues to walk 4 you and talk to you, then you have a difficult situation. You must decide if the attention is pity or interest. You must decide which kind of attention you’d rather have. You must decide whether you want any 5 at all.
Maybe he will not go 6 as quickly as you expected. Perhaps you will find yourself nearing a bench with him in the park at the corner. Do not tap on the bench before sitting down. Do not think about how good it would feel to be racing through the park right now, with the mud under your sneakers. Pretend to be how you imagine a(n) 7 girl would be; nod and smile in the 8 places.
Do not be too serious. Maybe he will talk about movies or books. Maybe about his school or his work. 9 with him and ask him questions.
If he seems exceptionally 10 and accepting, you may be attracted to say more about the disorders that rule your life. So 11 he asks about you, you must answer very carefully. “I play the piano,” you might say. Your favorite composer Rachmaninoff, of course. “I like to 12 ” is starting to get a bit risky, but you could try it if you’re brave. “Too bad,” he may say. “You won’t be running for a while.” “I know” is a good, simple 13 . Change the subject.
But even if you do, you will have to 14 home eventually. The light will begin to fade or the 15 will threaten another rain. Let him make the first move toward parting.

Other times, you might be free to act as you wish, and you know you want to do something, but you just don’t know ④______ to do.

解析：推理判断题。由文章第一段“Our love of the natural world is partially baked into our genes, a study carried out by researchers from the University of Queensland and the National University of Singapore suggests.(昆士兰大学和新加坡国立大学的研究人员进行的一项研究表明，我们对自然世界的热爱部分源于我们的基因。)”以及下文可知，这是一篇说明文，通过研究发现人们亲近自然和基因有关，该种类型文章最可能出现在科学杂志上。故选A。
28、答案：C
解析：推理判断题。第二段“He took that boy away, and next thing you know, the boy is murdered.(他把那孩子带走了，接下来，那孩子就被谋杀了)”以及第四段“Some thought old man Fin did it himself, but that same night a slave ran away.(有人认为是费恩老头自己干的，但就在那天晚上，一个奴隶跑了)”可知，此处的His pappy指本文主人公哈克贝利·费恩的父亲。故选C。
29、答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“He took that boy away, and next thing you know, the boy is murdered.(他把那孩子带走了，接下来，那孩子就被谋杀了)”可知，it是指上文中的the boy is murdered。故选D。
30、答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第五段“All that talk gave me the jitters.(那些谈话使我紧张不安)”可推知，作者很紧张，于是拿起针线掩饰与缓解自己的紧张情绪。故选C。
31、答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第四段“Cause when you thread a needle, you’re supposed to hold it still and put the thread through. You did just the opposite.(因为当你穿针的时候，你应该拿着它不动，然后把线穿过去。你做的正好相反)”可知，本文主人公的动作露出了破绽。故选D。
32、答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A number of studies have shown that employees who view their work as a calling tend to do better on subjective measures, such as work and life satisfaction, than those for whom a job is chiefly a means to a paycheck. (许多研究表明，将工作视为使命的员工在工作和生活满意度等主观指标上往往比那些将工作主要视为赚钱手段的员工做得更好)”可知，本文内容主要是关于对工作持不同态度的员工的。故选B。
33、答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“Those who described their work as a calling in 2004 earned more than others that year, after various aspects were accounted for, and the pattern held when participants were surveyed again in 2011. (在考虑了各种因素后，那些在2004年将自己的工作描述为一种使命的人当年的收入高于其他人，2011年再次对参与者进行调查时the pattern held)”可知，画线部分表示与之前相同的模式，即情况没有改变。故选C。
34、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Analyses showed that the higher rewards resulted from the feeling that the Sam who saw his job as a calling was a better performer and was more committed to the organization—even though the videos showed the same level of performance. (分析表明，更高的奖励来自于这样一种感觉，即把自己的工作视为使命的山姆表现更好，对组织更忠诚——尽管视频显示的表现水平相同)”可知，参与者对“呼唤”山姆的态度是支持的。故选A。
35、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The unfounded impression can also have negative effects, they said. “Managers might expect ‘calling’ employees to maintain positivity in the face of challenges; when they do not, these employees might experience worse negative reactions than ‘job’ employees”. (他们说，这种毫无根据的印象也会产生负面影响。“管理者可能希望‘召唤’员工在面对挑战时保持积极;如果他们不这样做，这些员工可能会经历比‘工作’员工更糟糕的负面反应。”)”可知，作者在最后一段中暗示了“calling”的山姆在某些场合可能会受到不好的对待。故选A。
36、答案：①-⑤FBDAE
解析：这是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了为什么人们总是在乘坐交通工具的时候睡着的原因。
①该空为本段主旨句，用于总起下文。后文“I have been suffering from being unable to sleep for many years. Some nights when I can’t sleep, I’ll head to the coach where I can usually fall asleep within minutes. My friend also told me that sometimes he was stressed out by his work and he couldn’t sleep at night. But when he was traveling on the bus, he was able to sleep well.(多年来我一直饱受失眠之苦。有些晚上我睡不着，我就去坐马车，通常几分钟就能睡着。我的朋友还告诉我，有时他工作压力太大，晚上睡不着觉。但是当他在公共汽车上旅行时，他能睡得很好。)”分别举例说明自己和朋友的相同情况，那就是在家晚上睡不着觉，反而是在车上睡得更好。F项“在行驶中的公共汽车上入睡似乎比在舒适的床上容易得多。”同时提到在家的情况和在外面乘坐公交车的情况，符合段意。故选F项。
②上文“Since this happens regularly, I decided to find some answers.(由于这种情况经常发生，我决定找出一些答案。)”提到关键词answers“答案”，所以空处用于承接上文，需要和某个“问题”相关。B项“为什么我们在车上比在床上睡得好？”为问句，符合文意且同时可以承接下文“One popular view is about the white noise.(一种流行的观点是关于白噪音。)”对“答案”做出举例说明。故选B项。
③上文“White noise masks distracting noise and is helpful for people who have trouble getting sleep.(白噪音可以掩盖分散噪音，对失眠的人有帮助。)”提到关键词white noise“白噪音”；下文“When you’re riding a vehicle, white noise is continuously emitted, making it easier for passengers to drift off to dreamland.(当你在开车时，白噪音会不断发出，让乘客更容易进入梦乡。)”提到白噪音的产生环境。由此推出，空处承上启下，需要同时提到白噪音和车。D项“汽车和其他交通工具是产生它的完美环境。”符合句意，选项中的it代指白噪音。故选D项。
④上文“However, it’s not the movement itself that leads to a better sleep.(然而，并不是运动本身能带来更好的睡眠。)”转折说明运动本身和睡眠不构成因果关系；下文“If you were rocked to sleep as a baby, you’d have that association that when you experience a rocking motion, you go to sleep.(如果你像婴儿一样被摇晃着入睡，你会有这样的联想，当你经历摇晃运动时，你就会入睡。)”提到关键词rock“摇晃”和睡觉的关系，故空处承上启下也需要提到“摇晃”和睡觉的关系。A项：“更确切地说，是摇晃和睡觉之间的联系。”符合文意。故选A项。
⑤上文“An increase in carbon dioxide in public transportation can be one reason, too.(公共交通中二氧化碳的增加也是原因之一。)”提出观点，涉及公共交通中的二氧化碳含量；下文“Carbon dioxide increases when there are lots of people in a small space.(当很多人在一个小空间里时，二氧化碳会增加。)”谈到“小空间”里的二氧化碳增多。故空处承上启下，也需要谈到某个小空间和二氧化碳增加的情况。E项“公共汽车和火车每天都挤满了上下班的人。”提到公共汽车和火车，即“小空间”，“挤满了上下班的人”表示，人多，自然二氧化碳含量就会升高。故选E项。
37、答案：C
解析：考查形容词词义辨析。句意：当你发现帅哥问了一些聪明的问题时，尽量表现得正常一点。A. amazed惊讶的；B. anxious焦虑的；C. normal正常的；D. passive被动的。根据下文中的“Brush the ___2___ out of your hair as though its presence was accidental, as though you’re not upset.”可知，作者建议把树叶从头发上弄掉，就像是树叶的出现是偶发的，像是没什么让人不高兴的，由此可知，此处应是表现的尽可能的“正常”符合语境。故选C项。

43、答案：A
解析：考查形容词词义辨析。句意：假装成你想象中的典型女孩的样子；在正确的地方点头和微笑。A. typical典型的；B. eager渴望的；C. professional专业的；D. individual个人的。根据下文中的“nod and smile”可知，点点头并且微笑应该是一个“典型的”女孩与一个刚认识的男孩在一起时的表现。故选A项。

47、答案：D
解析：考查连词词义辨析。句意：所以如果他问起你，你必须非常小心地回答。A. unless除非；B. until直到；C. before在……之前；D. if如果。根据语境以及下文中的“you must answer very carefully.”可知，本文讲述的是与刚认识的男孩如何打交道，此处提出回答时要小心一些，由此可推断，此处表示“如果”他问你问题”应如何回应，此处是一种假设的情况。故选D项。
48、答案：A
解析：考查动词词义辨析。句意：“我喜欢跑步”开始变得有点冒险，但如果你勇敢的话，你可以尝试一下。A. run跑步；B. swim游泳；C. cycle骑行；D. fly飞翔。根据下文中的“You won’t be running for a while.”可知，你这段时间没有跑步，由此可推断，此空处指的是“跑步”符合语境。故选A项。

52、答案：①an②that③are stuck④what⑤showing⑥for⑦themselves⑧to ease⑨strategies⑩truly
解析：这是一篇说明文。文章讲述无聊就像一种恼人的瘙痒，而我们可以通过找到对个人有意义的追求，将挑战和新奇完美结合来摆脱无聊。
①考查冠词。句意：无聊就像一种烦人的欲望，当你知道你想做一些事情而不是你现在正在做的事情时，这种欲望就会变得更强。分析句子可知，这里表示“一种烦人的欲望”，所以应用不定冠词表泛指，且annoying为元音音素开始的单词。故填an。
②考查强调句。句意：有时是这种情况造成的，比如当你被困在重复的工作轮班中，或者礼貌地听健谈的邻居说话。分析句子可知，这里考查It is...that...的强调句句型，本句对主语the situation强调。故填that。
③考查时态语态。句意：有时是这种情况造成的，比如当你被困在重复的工作轮班中，或者礼貌地听健谈的邻居说话。分析句子可知，这里考查谓语动词，时态与上文对应用一般现在时，主语you是谓语动词stick动作的承受者，故用被动语态。故填are stuck。
④考查连词。句意：其它时候，你可以随心所欲，你知道你想做什么，但你就是不知道该做什么。分析成分可知，这里考查疑问词+to do形式，且do后面缺宾语，指代物，所以应用疑问词what。故填what。
⑤考查非谓语。句意：与此相关的是，有研究表明，无聊可以增加创造力，因为它激励我们反思和寻找它的意义。分析句子可知，此空考查非谓语，逻辑主语research与show之间是主动关系，再由句意可知，这里应用现在分词作后置定语。故填showing。
⑥考查介词。句意：与此相关的是，有研究表明，无聊可以增加创造力，因为它激励我们反思和寻找它的意义。分析句子可知，这里考查search for...表“搜索……”，为固定搭配。故填for。
⑦考查代词。句意：他们往往同意时间过得很慢，他们发现很难让自己快乐起来。分析句子可知，这里表示“让自己快乐起来”，所以此空应用反身代词作宾语。故填themselves。
⑧考查非谓语。句意：他们经常通过饮酒和药物来缓解不适，尽管这种策略只能暂时缓解表面的不安。分析句子可知，此空应填不定代词作目的状语。故填to ease。
⑨考查主谓一致。句意：他们经常通过饮酒和药物来缓解不适，尽管这种策略只能暂时缓解表面的不安。空处为从句谓语动词，根据谓语动词relieve可知，此处应填strategy的复数形式。故填strategies。
⑩考查词性转换。句意：要想真正克服无聊，秘诀是找到对个人有意义的追求，将挑战和新奇完美结合。此处应填副词作状语修饰动词overcome。故填truly。
53、答案：lies in
解析：考查动词短语。结合语境表示“每一个挑战都蕴藏着机遇”应用动词短语lie in，陈述客观事实用一般现在时，主语为opportunity，谓语用三单形式。故填lies in。
54、答案：make a difference
解析：考查动词短语。根据中文 提示可知，表示“改变”或者“有影响”可用动词短语make a difference，为固定搭配，与前面to构成不定式，在本句中作定语。故填make a difference。
55、答案：Take advantage of
解析：考查祈使句和固定短语。对比中英文句子可知，空格处意为“利用”，是固定短语take advantage of，句子是祈使句，因此空格处动词用原形，位于句首的单词首字母大写，故填Take，advantage，of。
56、答案：rate shooting up
解析：考查名词和动词短语。根据中文提示可知，表示“速度”可用rate，为可数名词，而这里应用单数形式；表示“个头猛蹿”应用动词短语shoot up，为固定短语，且由句意和后文getting left far behind可知，这里应用现在分词作状语。故填rate；shooting up。
57、答案：from their point of view
解析：考查介词短语。“从某人的角度”可用介词短语from one’s point of view表示，“他们的”用形容词性物主代词their。故填from their point of view。
58、答案：make it
解析：考查固定短语。结合语境表示“及时赶到，赶上”可知短语为make it to，且上文为短语be able to do sth.，应填动词原形。故填make it。
59、答案：in the wrong apologize
解析：考查介词短语和动词。根据中文提示可知，表示“错了”可用in the wrong，为固定搭配，在本句中作表语；表示“道歉”应用apologize，为动词，与前面to构成不定式，在本句中作宾语。故填in the wrong；apologize。
60、答案：whose count on
解析：考查动词短语和定语从句。根据中文提示可知，表示“依靠”可用count on，为动词短语，在从句中作谓语，且分析句子可知，这里考查定语从句，先行词为someone ，为人，在从句中作定语，修饰support，所以应用关系词whose。故填whose；count on。
61、答案：
Dear Mary,
I have been missing you since we met last time. At the end of this September, a sports meet was held in our school, where over 2,000 students watched this event. I can’t wait to share it with you.

Hope for your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Our love of the natural world is partially baked into our genes, a study carried out by researchers from the University of Queensland and the National University of Singapore suggests. Using data collected by Twins UK, the most detailed and extensive twin study ever carried out, the team compared the genetic heritability (遗传可能性) of two types of trait—how strongly a person feels connected to nature, and the amount of time they spend in nature. They found that identical twins, who share almost all of their genes, were more similar to each other than the twins who share around half of their genes in their appreciation of nature.
This genetic influence was present in between 34 per cent for frequency of garden visits and 48 per cent for public nature space visits, they say. “I’m truly surprised by what we have found,” said study co-author Prof Richard Fuller, of the University of Queensland. “This means there may be genetic differences among people’s connection with natural environments and how they experience them. Our results help to explain why some people have a stronger desire than others to be in nature.” Previous studies have shown that the environment in which people are raised and live in, be it urban or rural, influences how strongly they desire to be among nature or seek outdoor experiences, with those in more rural areas having a closer relationship with nature. However, this is the first study to suggest that genetics plays a role in how strongly we feel a connection to nature.
As more and more people living in urban areas are reporting lower levels of happiness, and are at a higher risk of mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety, the study highlights the importance of bringing people closer to nature, the researchers say, “Spending a little time at home in the garden can be a great way to experience some nature.” said lead author of the study Dr Chia-Chen Chang, of the National University of Singapore. “Increasing accessibility to nature for urban residents through projects such as shared gardens will be hugely beneficial and will play an important part in improving people’s wellbeing overall.”
24、How did the researchers conduct the study
A. By analyzing the previous relevant data.
B. By tracking lifestyles and moods of twins.
C. By carrying out surveys among twins.
D. By filming daily behaviors of twins.
25、Why does Prof Richard Fuller feel surprised by the result
A. It implies that genetics may affect people’s connection with nature.
B. It shows that people prefer to visit gardens rather than public spaces.
C. It confirms that environment influences our desire for nature.
D. It means that rural residents have a closer relationship with nature.
26、What does Paragraph 3 mean
A. Garden is the only way for urban residents to experience nature.
B. The significance of nature in urban areas can’t be underestimated.
C. Urban residents spare no effort to live in harmony with nature.
D. Mental health problems get increasingly worse in urban areas.
27、Where is the passage most likely taken from
A. A journal. B. A book review. C. A speech. D. A novel.
She went on talking about her husband and how and why they’d moved here. I was starting to think I’d made a mistake by coming. But then she started talking about something else that really stirred my blood. She knew all about me and Tom Sawyer and the money we’d gotten! Only she said it was $10,000 instead of $6,000.
“Yes,” she said. And that poor boy. His pappy was a hard old man. He took that boy away, and next thing you know, the boy is murdered. He never had a chance.”
“Who done it ” I asked. I wanted to see what other folks knew about me and Pap.
“Some thought old man Fin did it himself, but that same night a slave ran away. They think it was the slave that killed him. Folks are out hunting for him right now, and there’s a $300 reward for whoever finds him.”
All that talk gave me the jitters. I needed to look busy, so I took up a needle off the table and tried to thread it. My hands shook, and I wasn’t doing a very good job. The woman smiled at me so I put the needle back down.
She kept looking at me pretty curious. Then she said, “What did you say your name was, honey ”
“M—Mary Williams.”
“I thought you said your name was Sarah.”
“Yes, ma’am. Mary is my middle name.”

A number of studies have shown that employees who view their work as a calling tend to do better on subjective measures, such as work and life satisfaction, than those for whom a job is chiefly a means to a paycheck.
New research finds gains in objective terms too. The researchers began by analyzing data from the Wisconsin Study, which collected information on thousands of high school graduates over many years. Those who described their work as a calling in 2004 earned more than others that year, after various aspects were accounted for, and the pattern held when participants were surveyed again in 2011.
To test the relationship of causes and effects, the researchers created three videos in which an employee Sam spoke of his work as being a calling, or a job, or nothing special. Participants were asked to watch one of the videos before answering questions about what kind of bonus and raise “Sam” should receive and whether he should be promoted. Those who observed the “calling” Sam were far more likely than the others to award a bonus. They gave him higher raises than people gave to the “job” Sam, and they were more likely to recommend him for promotion.
Analyses showed that the higher rewards resulted from the feeling that the Sam who saw his job as a calling was a better performer and was more committed to the organization—even though the videos showed the same level of performance. The unfounded impression can also have negative effects, they said. “Managers might expect ‘calling’ employees to maintain positivity in the face of challenges; when they do not, these employees might experience worse negative reactions than ‘job’ employees”.
32、What kinds of employees does the passage talk about
A. Those from different customs. B. Those with different attitudes.
C. Those with different education. D. Those from different countries.
33、What do the words “the pattern held” mean in the second paragraph
A. The story stayed uninteresting. B. The feeling became stronger.
C. The situation remained unchanged. D. The drawing was valuable.
34、What’s the participants’ attitude towards the “calling” Sam
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproved. D. Unclear.
35、What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A. The “calling” Sam might be treated badly on certain occasions.
B. The “calling” Sam always performed better than other workers.
C. The wrong impression can have negative effects on managers.
D. The three videos that the employees watched were of little use.

36、Do you always fall asleep on bus journeys
①_______ I have been suffering from being unable to sleep for many years. Some nights when I can’t sleep, I’ll head to the coach where I can usually fall asleep within minutes. My friend also told me that sometimes he was stressed out by his work and he couldn’t sleep at night. But when he was traveling on the bus, he was able to sleep well. Since this happens regularly, I decided to find some answers. ②_______
One popular view is about the white noise. It is a continuous sound like the hum of tires or the purring of the car. White noise masks (掩盖) distracting noise and is helpful for people who have trouble getting sleep. ③_______ When you’re riding a vehicle, white noise is continuously emitted (发出), making it easier for passengers to drift off to dreamland.
Another view as to why it’s easy to fall asleep in buses or trains is because of the rocking (摇晃) movement that’s similar to what comforted us when we were babies. However, it’s not the movement itself that leads to a better sleep. ④_______ If you were rocked to sleep as a baby, you’d have that association (联想) that when you experience a rocking motion, you go to sleep.
An increase in carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) in public transportation can be one reason, too. ⑤_______ Carbon dioxide increases when there are lots of people in a small space. This will lead to lack of oxygen (氧气), which will affect the brain’s performance and reduce activity in the cerebral cortex, making people sleepier.
A. Rather, it’s the link between rocking and sleeping.
B. Why do we sleep better on the coach than in our bed
C. It may also help mothers settle babies with mild sleep problems.
D. Cars and other vehicles are a perfect environment that produces it.
E. Buses and trains get crowded every day with people going to and from work.
F. It seems to be much easier to fall asleep on a running bus than in the comfortable bed.
G. The running vehicle offers a comfortable rocking environment for those with sleep problems.
四、完形填空（15空）
If somebody informs you that you have a leaf in your hair, smile politely and say, “Oh. Thanks.” When you turn to find it is the cute guy who asks smart questions, try to look as 1 as possible. Brush the 2 out of your hair as though its presence was accidental, as though you’re not upset.
Remind yourself that you will likely find another among the thousands on the 3 . If he continues to walk 4 you and talk to you, then you have a difficult situation. You must decide if the attention is pity or interest. You must decide which kind of attention you’d rather have. You must decide whether you want any 5 at all.
Maybe he will not go 6 as quickly as you expected. Perhaps you will find yourself nearing a bench with him in the park at the corner. Do not tap on the bench before sitting down. Do not think about how good it would feel to be racing through the park right now, with the mud under your sneakers. Pretend to be how you imagine a(n) 7 girl would be; nod and smile in the 8 places.
Do not be too serious. Maybe he will talk about movies or books. Maybe about his school or his work. 9 with him and ask him questions.
If he seems exceptionally 10 and accepting, you may be attracted to say more about the disorders that rule your life. So 11 he asks about you, you must answer very carefully. “I play the piano,” you might say. Your favorite composer Rachmaninoff, of course. “I like to 12 ” is starting to get a bit risky, but you could try it if you’re brave. “Too bad,” he may say. “You won’t be running for a while.” “I know” is a good, simple 13 . Change the subject.
But even if you do, you will have to 14 home eventually. The light will begin to fade or the 15 will threaten another rain. Let him make the first move toward parting.

36、答案：①-⑤FBDAE
解析：这是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了为什么人们总是在乘坐交通工具的时候睡着的原因。
①该空为本段主旨句，用于总起下文。后文“I have been suffering from being unable to sleep for many years. Some nights when I can’t sleep, I’ll head to the coach where I can usually fall asleep within minutes. My friend also told me that sometimes he was stressed out by his work and he couldn’t sleep at night. But when he was traveling on the bus, he was able to sleep well.(多年来我一直饱受失眠之苦。有些晚上我睡不着，我就去坐马车，通常几分钟就能睡着。我的朋友还告诉我，有时他工作压力太大，晚上睡不着觉。但是当他在公共汽车上旅行时，他能睡得很好。)”分别举例说明自己和朋友的相同情况，那就是在家晚上睡不着觉，反而是在车上睡得更好。F项“在行驶中的公共汽车上入睡似乎比在舒适的床上容易得多。”同时提到在家的情况和在外面乘坐公交车的情况，符合段意。故选F项。
②上文“Since this happens regularly, I decided to find some answers.(由于这种情况经常发生，我决定找出一些答案。)”提到关键词answers“答案”，所以空处用于承接上文，需要和某个“问题”相关。B项“为什么我们在车上比在床上睡得好？”为问句，符合文意且同时可以承接下文“One popular view is about the white noise.(一种流行的观点是关于白噪音。)”对“答案”做出举例说明。故选B项。
③上文“White noise masks distracting noise and is helpful for people who have trouble getting sleep.(白噪音可以掩盖分散噪音，对失眠的人有帮助。)”提到关键词white noise“白噪音”；下文“When you’re riding a vehicle, white noise is continuously emitted, making it easier for passengers to drift off to dreamland.(当你在开车时，白噪音会不断发出，让乘客更容易进入梦乡。)”提到白噪音的产生环境。由此推出，空处承上启下，需要同时提到白噪音和车。D项“汽车和其他交通工具是产生它的完美环境。”符合句意，选项中的it代指白噪音。故选D项。
④上文“However, it’s not the movement itself that leads to a better sleep.(然而，并不是运动本身能带来更好的睡眠。)”转折说明运动本身和睡眠不构成因果关系；下文“If you were rocked to sleep as a baby, you’d have that association that when you experience a rocking motion, you go to sleep.(如果你像婴儿一样被摇晃着入睡，你会有这样的联想，当你经历摇晃运动时，你就会入睡。)”提到关键词rock“摇晃”和睡觉的关系，故空处承上启下也需要提到“摇晃”和睡觉的关系。A项：“更确切地说，是摇晃和睡觉之间的联系。”符合文意。故选A项。
⑤上文“An increase in carbon dioxide in public transportation can be one reason, too.(公共交通中二氧化碳的增加也是原因之一。)”提出观点，涉及公共交通中的二氧化碳含量；下文“Carbon dioxide increases when there are lots of people in a small space.(当很多人在一个小空间里时，二氧化碳会增加。)”谈到“小空间”里的二氧化碳增多。故空处承上启下，也需要谈到某个小空间和二氧化碳增加的情况。E项“公共汽车和火车每天都挤满了上下班的人。”提到公共汽车和火车，即“小空间”，“挤满了上下班的人”表示，人多，自然二氧化碳含量就会升高。故选E项。

43、答案：A

52、答案：①an②that③are stuck④what⑤showing⑥for⑦themselves⑧to ease⑨strategies⑩truly
解析：这是一篇说明文。文章讲述无聊就像一种恼人的瘙痒，而我们可以通过找到对个人有意义的追求，将挑战和新奇完美结合来摆脱无聊。
①考查冠词。句意：无聊就像一种烦人的欲望，当你知道你想做一些事情而不是你现在正在做的事情时，这种欲望就会变得更强。分析句子可知，这里表示“一种烦人的欲望”，所以应用不定冠词表泛指，且annoying为元音音素开始的单词。故填an。
②考查强调句。句意：有时是这种情况造成的，比如当你被困在重复的工作轮班中，或者礼貌地听健谈的邻居说话。分析句子可知，这里考查It is...that...的强调句句型，本句对主语the situation强调。故填that。
③考查时态语态。句意：有时是这种情况造成的，比如当你被困在重复的工作轮班中，或者礼貌地听健谈的邻居说话。分析句子可知，这里考查谓语动词，时态与上文对应用一般现在时，主语you是谓语动词stick动作的承受者，故用被动语态。故填are stuck。
④考查连词。句意：其它时候，你可以随心所欲，你知道你想做什么，但你就是不知道该做什么。分析成分可知，这里考查疑问词+to do形式，且do后面缺宾语，指代物，所以应用疑问词what。故填what。
⑤考查非谓语。句意：与此相关的是，有研究表明，无聊可以增加创造力，因为它激励我们反思和寻找它的意义。分析句子可知，此空考查非谓语，逻辑主语research与show之间是主动关系，再由句意可知，这里应用现在分词作后置定语。故填showing。
⑥考查介词。句意：与此相关的是，有研究表明，无聊可以增加创造力，因为它激励我们反思和寻找它的意义。分析句子可知，这里考查search for...表“搜索……”，为固定搭配。故填for。
⑦考查代词。句意：他们往往同意时间过得很慢，他们发现很难让自己快乐起来。分析句子可知，这里表示“让自己快乐起来”，所以此空应用反身代词作宾语。故填themselves。
⑧考查非谓语。句意：他们经常通过饮酒和药物来缓解不适，尽管这种策略只能暂时缓解表面的不安。分析句子可知，此空应填不定代词作目的状语。故填to ease。
⑨考查主谓一致。句意：他们经常通过饮酒和药物来缓解不适，尽管这种策略只能暂时缓解表面的不安。空处为从句谓语动词，根据谓语动词relieve可知，此处应填strategy的复数形式。故填strategies。
⑩考查词性转换。句意：要想真正克服无聊，秘诀是找到对个人有意义的追求，将挑战和新奇完美结合。此处应填副词作状语修饰动词overcome。故填truly。
53、答案：lies in
解析：考查动词短语。结合语境表示“每一个挑战都蕴藏着机遇”应用动词短语lie in，陈述客观事实用一般现在时，主语为opportunity，谓语用三单形式。故填lies in。
54、答案：make a difference
解析：考查动词短语。根据中文 提示可知，表示“改变”或者“有影响”可用动词短语make a difference，为固定搭配，与前面to构成不定式，在本句中作定语。故填make a difference。
55、答案：Take advantage of
解析：考查祈使句和固定短语。对比中英文句子可知，空格处意为“利用”，是固定短语take advantage of，句子是祈使句，因此空格处动词用原形，位于句首的单词首字母大写，故填Take，advantage，of。
56、答案：rate shooting up
解析：考查名词和动词短语。根据中文提示可知，表示“速度”可用rate，为可数名词，而这里应用单数形式；表示“个头猛蹿”应用动词短语shoot up，为固定短语，且由句意和后文getting left far behind可知，这里应用现在分词作状语。故填rate；shooting up。
57、答案：from their point of view
解析：考查介词短语。“从某人的角度”可用介词短语from one’s point of view表示，“他们的”用形容词性物主代词their。故填from their point of view。
58、答案：make it
解析：考查固定短语。结合语境表示“及时赶到，赶上”可知短语为make it to，且上文为短语be able to do sth.，应填动词原形。故填make it。
59、答案：in the wrong apologize
解析：考查介词短语和动词。根据中文提示可知，表示“错了”可用in the wrong，为固定搭配，在本句中作表语；表示“道歉”应用apologize，为动词，与前面to构成不定式，在本句中作宾语。故填in the wrong；apologize。
60、答案：whose count on
解析：考查动词短语和定语从句。根据中文提示可知，表示“依靠”可用count on，为动词短语，在从句中作谓语，且分析句子可知，这里考查定语从句，先行词为someone ，为人，在从句中作定语，修饰support，所以应用关系词whose。故填whose；count on。
61、答案：
Dear Mary,
I have been missing you since we met last time. At the end of this September, a sports meet was held in our school, where over 2,000 students watched this event. I can’t wait to share it with you.

Their perseverance and friendship as well as talents left a deep impression on me. Not only should we achieve academic success, but we ought to live healthily and help each other.
Hope for your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
