“Why is every superhero movie an origin story ” complained Entertainment Weekly film critic Adam Markovitz after seeing a trailer （预告片） for this summer’s Man of Steel. Perhaps we love origin stories, Markovitz suggested, because they “show the exact moment when a normal guy goes from being just like us to being somehow better, faster, stronger.”
I tend to disagree. I think origin stories show us not how to become super but how to be heroes, choosing other people’s needs over the pursuit of one’s own wealth and power. I’ve learned this through hundreds of conversations at comic book meetings, where fans have been remarkably honest about their lives and the inspiration they draw from superhero stories.
I’ve found that superheroes go through three types of life-changing experiences that we can relate to. The first is trauma （创伤）, which lies at the heart of Batman’s origin story, in which Bruce Wayne commits himself to fighting crime after seeing his parents killed. In real life, many people experience “stress-caused growth” after a trauma and determine to help others.
The second life-changing force is destiny （命运）. Consider Buffy the Vampire Slayer, about a normal teenager who discovers she’s the “Chosen One” —born with supernatural powers to fight demons. Buffy is unwilling to accept her destiny, yet she throws herself into her new job.
Lastly, there’s pure chance, which transformed a young Spider-Man, who was using his power for selfish （自私的） purposes until his beloved uncle was killed by a street thug. Spider-Man’s heroism is an example of how random negative events cause many of us to reflect on our lives and choose a different path.
At their best, superhero origin stories inspire us and provide models of coping with difficulties, finding meaning in loss and trauma, discovering our strengths and using them for good purpose. (Wearing a cape or tights is not a must. )
24. How did Adam Markovitz feel about every superhero movie being an origin story
A. Surprised. B. Disappointed. C. Fascinated. D. Inspired.
25. What experience led Bruce Wayne to become a hero
A. Suffering from great stress. B. Fighting crime with great devotion.
C. Relating to Batman’s origin story. D. Witnessing his parents being killed.
26. What did Buffy do after she found her destiny
A. She couldn’t wait to accept her role. B. She used her power for selfish purposes.
C. She refused to take on the responsibility. D. She committed herself to her role eventually.
27. According to the author, why do people love origin stories
A. Because they inspire us to put others before ourselves.
B. Because they lie at the heart of every superhero movie.
C. Because they explore the impact of negative events on life.
D. Because they show how ordinary people become extraordinary.
C
In the park, there are 9485 of them. You sit on them. To rest. Read a book. Wait for a friend. Or it’s such a day when you have nothing to do, and this is a delicious place to accomplish absolutely nothing. Or you can drift off and muse on the plaque （纪念牌） attached there, representing a story behind the bench. The Central Park bench. You aren’t just sitting on wood. You are sitting on memories.
Caitlin LaMorte was the development manager for the Adopt-a-Bench program which began in 1986 as a way to finance the maintenance of the benches. If you can afford it, it’s simple enough. Pay $10000 and you get to put a plaque on a bench, saying almost whatever you want, up to a suggested maximum of four lines of 30 characters each. And then it’s there forever. Up to now,4223 of the benches have been adopted. While plenty of benches remain unadopted, some areas are sold out. For instance, all the benches facing the lake.
Benches can serve many purposes. Quite often, they’re adopted to remember a relative or friend. Or on occasion, a pet. Increasingly, Ms. LaMorte said, “we have more plaques that are happy.” Graduations or birthdays or birth wishes or wedding gifts.
Last year, Karen May figured she would adopt a bench for her children. When her elder son, Theodore, proposed to his girlfriend, Lucinda, he wrote a brief children’s book for her called “Two Red Foxes,” because foxes were a recurring theme in her upbringing (as when a fox sped across the field when her father proposed to her mother). The foxes were stand-ins for Ms. May’s son and his bride-to-be. And there was the fact that her younger son, Thornwell, went by the nickname Pup. So there is a bench facing the lake that reads, “Two Red Foxes and a Pup.” People will sit there and not know what it means. But Ms. May knows.
28. What is the Adopt-a-Bench program intended for
A. Raising funds for bench care. B. Placing more plaques on benches.
C. Marketing the unadopted benches. D. Attracting visitors to the central park.
29. What does the underlined word “stand-ins” probably mean
A. Relatives. B. Wishes. C. Symbols. D. Gifts.
30. Why did Karen May adopt the bench
A. To remember two red foxes and a puppy. B. To secure a lakeside bench for family use.
C. To promote her son’s newly published book. D. To celebrate her children’s special moments.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Adopt-a-Bench Program B. Two Red Foxes and a Pup
C. Benches With Stories to Tell D. A Creative Gift in the Park
D
Two small white dogs appeared as I arrived at a ranch house a few miles off the highway in Hempstead, followed by John Mendola, a retired police officer. He introduced me to the dogs, Princess Ariel and Princess Jasmine. They were named for a deceased dog named Princess to whom they are similar in every detail. And they should be: they are Princess’s clones.
It has now been nearly thirty years since cloning mammals （哺乳动物） became possible. The technology has mainly been used to produce cattle, sheep, and pigs. However, since 2005, more than two thousand dogs have been successfully cloned. Biologically, it is not very different from that of cloned cows or sheep, but in other respects the cloning of pets raises a host of ethical （伦理的） and identity issues.
There are issues of exploitation （剥削） —both of grieving owners who hope to bring back their lost pets, and of the unseen animals whose bodies are used in making a clone. There’s the issue of supply: the production of tailored dogs in a society when so many good, naturally born ones in shelters are in need of adoption. Finally, there’s an existential issue: who, exactly, is produced when a dog is cloned Dogs are seen by most owners as a species of individuals, with distinct personalities. We keep them for companionship. As a result, we have placed our ideas of selfhood onto them, giving them preferences, fears, and moods. But, if it is dogs’ individuality that we value, how can we accept the idea that their unique and unreproducible selves can, in fact, be reproduced
As a matter of fact, among the people who have cloned their dogs, many struggled to say exactly what it was about the original animal that they had wanted to reproduce, especially in contrast to other dogs they had loved but hadn’t felt like cloning. Many spoke of the original as simply “special”—but the specific nature of that specialness seemed almost impossible to be explained. Perhaps the desire was less about re-creating the original dog than about bringing back the unique relationship that had been established with the animal.
32. What can we learn about the two white dogs in the first paragraph
A. They were named after a princess. B. They were clones of a late dog.
C. They were distinct from each other. D. They were naturally produced by Princess.
33. How is the cloning of dogs different from that of other mammals
A. It has higher success rates. B. It raises more moral concerns.
C. It is technically more challenging. D. It stirs greater public curiosity.
34. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the cloning of dogs
A. Unclear. B. Objective. C. Favourable. D. Disapproving.
35. Why do people desire to clone their dogs
A. To deal with the identity issue. B. To reproduce the original animal.
C. To recreate a distinctive emotional bond. D. To find out the specialness of the original dog.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Everybody lies to some degree. 36 However, nobody wants to be caught. Of course there’s a huge gap that separates little white lies from the whoppers （弥天大谎）, but learning how to tell if someone is lying is a skill that’ll always come in handy. Here’s what to watch for.
37
There are many signs someone could be lying. For example, one may make too little or too much eye contact, sweat or flush in their face, and have difficulty controlling the volume and tone of their voice. 38 Hand gestures that normally accompany talking may occur with less frequency. Arm and leg movements may also be fewer. It seems that liars would become more concentrated on telling the lie, so they get quieter in their body.
Ask questions——quickly.
If you suspect you’re being lied, try this technique, which experts say can trip up a liar. Try asking questions quickly—one after the other. “The first lie is easy,” explains Kang Lee, professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education’s Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development. “ 39 When you continue to ask questions and put people on the spot, it gets harder to maintain the lie.”
Check for emotional “leaks”.
Micro-expressions often show a person’s real thoughts. If you were to watch people very closely on videotape, you would see them showing their true emotion just before they show the fake expression designed to cover up the lie. But these extremely brief facial movements, some only lasting a quarter of a second, aren’t easy to spot. 40 And intentional liars tend to add other expressions, like smiling, to hide a lie.
So here’s hoping that the next time someone throws a lie your way, you’ll know just how to catch it.
A. Listen to the voices.
B. Get better at body language.
C. The follow-up lie is more difficult.
D. Interestingly, people who are lying often become more still.
E. Even professionals trained in lie detection can’t always tell them apart.
F. In some cultures, it’s considered inappropriate to maintain eye contact.
G. Lies occur between friends, teachers and students, husbands and wives.

A month later, I was fitted with my new hearing 53 . I hadn’t realized how much I was 54 with my damaged hearing until the moment it was given back to me. I burst into happy tears. I was so grateful for all the medical 55 and technology that gave me back my hearing.

第二节 （满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“The cleaners said I could pick our stuff today,” Jet’s mom said on the drive to school.
“Do you think they were able to clean Big Dog ” Jet asked, trying not to sound too worried.
But he was worried. Big Dog was his favourite stuffed animal. Grandpa had won it for him at the fair when he was five years old. Jet was eight now, and he didn’t need to sleep with it or anything. But he did need it. He needed it to sit on the shelf above his bed—the shelf that was now charred （烧焦的） by the house fire.
“I’m not sure what they were able to save,” Mom said. “They said they weren’t able to save our photo albums. I sure will miss those pictures.” Jet could tell she was really sad.
“I’ll pick you up after school, and we’ll go through the boxes together. Then we’ll see if your Big Dog can come back to us.” Mom said before she hugged him good-bye and drove off.
Jet tried to focus on his schoolwork all day, but he couldn’t keep his mind off Big Dog. He clutched （紧抓） his backpack through the halls as if he were carrying his old stuffed friend. During library time, he checked out a book about dogs. At break time, his friends were playing games while his mind was completely occupied by Big Dog.
RRRRRRINNNGGG! Time for art class.
Mr. Light said it was “artist’s choice” day, so they could work on whatever they wished.
Jet stared at an empty page. He thought of his mom picking up the boxes of things that had been damaged by the fire. Then he remembered how sad his mom was about the photo albums. Most things could be replaced at the store. But the pictures were gone forever. If only the photo album could somehow be saved, Jet thought. He wished there was a way to get those memories back, to bring a smile to his mom’s face again.
注意：
(1) 续写词数应为150左右；
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Then, all of a sudden, he knew what he could draw.
Paragraph 2: Jet gave his mom a huge hug, and said, “I have a surprise for you too! ”.

Dear friends from New Zealand,

One Possible Version:
Paragraph 1:
Then, all of a sudden, he knew what he could draw. He started with a picture of himself opening presents in front of a Christmas tree. Then one of him and his mom camping. Then there was one of Grandpa, standing tall and smiling, holding out a stuffed toy—Big Dog. The lines of Big Dog came easily, as if Jet had memorized every detail. By the time class was over, Jet had a small album stretched out and was ready to surprise her mom. When Jet’s mom picked him up from school, however, Jet’s eyes were caught by Big Dog in the back seat. He squeezed Big Dog around the neck and hugged it tightly, feeling the familiar softness against his cheek. But then, something inside him shifted. He remembered the album in his backpack.
Paragraph 2:
Jet gave his mom a huge hug, and said, “I have a surprise for you too!” Digging into his backpack, Jet pulled out the small album. “I know we lost a lot of things in the fire, and the photo albums were really special to you.” he said in a soft voice. As Jet’s mom flipped through the pictures, she laughed and cried. There she saw the drawings of their favorite memories. Each picture captured a moment they had shared, a moment they thought they’d lost in the fire. That night, after they unpacked more of the boxes, Jet carefully placed Big Dog back on the shelf above his bed. Maybe the fire had taken some things, but it hadn’t taken what mattered most—their love, their memories, and the chance to keep making new ones.
