A
Alan Naiman was known for being very careful about how he spent his money. But even those closest to him had no knowledge of the fortune he quietly gathered and the last act he had planned.
Naiman died of cancer at age 63 last January. The man from the American state of Washington gave most of his money to groups that help the poor, sick, disabled and abandoned children.
He gave them $11 million. The large amount of his fortune shocked the groups that received his gifts and even his best friends. That is because Naiman had been known to repair his own shoes with duct tape. He had sought deals to buy food from grocery stores at closing time and taken friends out to lunch at low cost restaurants.
Naiman died unmarried and childless. He loved children but also was intensely private. He saved, invested and worked extra jobs to gather money. He rarely spent the money on himself after seeing how unfair life could be for children who suffer most.
Naiman was a former banker who worked for the past 20 years at the state Department of Social and Health Services. He earned $67,234 a year and also took on side jobs. Sometimes, he worked as many as three at a time. He saved and invested enough to make several millions of dollars. He also received millions more from his parents after they died.
He left $2.5 million to the Pediatric Interim Care Center in Washington. The center is a private organization that cares for babies born to mothers who abused drugs and children with drug dependency. The center used the money to pay off its mortgage (按揭) and buy a new vehicle to transport the children.
Naiman gave $900, 000 to the Treehouse, where children without parents can choose toys and necessities for free. Treehouse is using Naiman’s money to expand its college and career support services Statewide.
1. Why were Naiman’s best friends shocked at his donation?
A. He left nothing to his relatives. B. He was dishonest in his economic conditions.
C. He received wealth from his parents secretly. D. He used to be very careful to spend money.
2. Naiman was greatly concerned about _________.
A. his money B. his career C. children in trouble D. life after retirement
3. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. Why Naiman’s parents turned rich. B. Where Naiman’s fortune came from.

Goldfish have pretty boring lives, so maybe it’s a good thing they can only concentrate for nine seconds! But according to a new research, humans are becoming like goldfish.?Our attention span (时长) is getting shorter ...and it’s all because of technology.
“We move quickly from one site to another on the web,” said Doctor Ted Selker, a computer scientist from Massachusetts, “and we are losing the ability to concentrate.” With millions of websites to choose from, the attention span of the average internet user is just seconds.?There are other digital distractions（分心）too: email, instant messaging and quickie movies on websites.?
Some people are worried about the effect on young people.?“You need time to understand and think about what you read,” said Julia Wood, from London. “Young people search the net all the time and their brains become full of useless information but there is no time to make sense of it.?I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer.”
Other teachers are trying more unusual methods to improve students’?concentration. Anne Savan, from Wales, was so worried about her students that she started playing Mozart during her science lessons.?She says that it had an amazing effect: “The music made them calmer, and their concentration was much better.”
But not everyone believes that there is a problem.?Ray Cole, an educational psychologist says,?“On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isn’t worth reading. They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, before stopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully.?In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill.”
8.?Why does the writer mention “goldfish”?
????A.?To introduce background. ??????????? B.?To compare two species.
C.?To introduce a topic. D.?To suggest a way out.

D
The idea of progress started to flower in the 17th century. At that time, many wise thinkers believed that man liberated by reason would rise to ever greater heights of achievement. The many expressions of human nature?would be the engines of progress: language, business, science, and moral sensibility?（道德感）. Unfortunately, most of those engines have failed to bring the desired human progress.
The modern age has belonged to material progress and its main source has been?science. Science gives people huge power to change the world. But can people be trusted to use it always for good? Think of biotechnology and information technology. And it is not just that scientific progress does not deliver the emotional good. People also fear that mankind is failing to manage science properly. The forests are disappearing; the ice is melting; privacy is leaking; life is becoming a depressing march in an ugly world.
The point is not that science is harmful, but that scientific progress?needs to be mapped tidily onto human progress. That relies on moral sensibility in its widest sense. This liberal force offers hope for a better future. The very idea of moral sensibility probably sounds out-of-date. But researchers find that people desire?a sense of moral purpose which would give life dignity. People want to determine how the world works, not always to be determined by it. Moral sensibility is why people will suffer for their beliefs，?and why acts of noble self-sacrifice are so powerful．
It is admitted that our moral ideals will never be realized completely. But sometimes, however imperfectly, we can make progress. Human dignity requires the love of ideals for their own sake, but nothing requires that the love be returned. Human progress is neither guaranteed nor hopeless. Instead, it is up to us.
12. What do we know about human progress from Paragraph 1?
A. Human beings were greatly liberated by the idea of progress.
B. Language failed to serve as an expression of human progress.
C. People?began to think about human progress in the 17th century.
D. Many thinkers in the 17th century were optimistic about human progress.
13. Why does science fail to bring the desired human progress?
A. Scientific progress does not give people dignity.
B. Proper governing is not guaranteed in the use of science.
C. Science is misunderstood because of improper management.
D. The engine of progress is sensitive and unreliable.
14. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Depressing life. B. Harmful science. C. Human progress. D. Moral sensibility.
15．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To stress the fun_ction of the idea of progress.
B. To express concern about the death of moral sensibility.
C. To show the importance of moral sensibility in human progress.
D. To blame the harm of material progress to human development.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school. 16 Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.
The disease, known as “March Madness”, refers to the yearly 65–team US men’s college basketball tournament. 17 Teams compete against each other in a single-elimination (单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.
Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends. 18 Colleagues against bosses.
Big-name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little-known universities.
This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little-known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. 19
College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. 20 About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling (赌) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $ 500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post–season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.
A. Husbands against wives.
B. The players will go all out for the games.
C. But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.
D. College students will ignore piles of homework.
E. People are willing to spend more money on watching it.
F. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.
G. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.?

The idea of progress started to flower in the 17th century. At that time, many wise thinkers believed that man liberated by reason would rise to ever greater heights of achievement. The many expressions of human nature?would be the engines of progress: language, business, science, and moral sensibility?（道德感）. Unfortunately, most of those engines have failed to bring the desired human progress.
The modern age has belonged to material progress and its main source has been?science. Science gives people huge power to change the world. But can people be trusted to use it always for good? Think of biotechnology and information technology. And it is not just that scientific progress does not deliver the emotional good. People also fear that mankind is failing to manage science properly. The forests are disappearing; the ice is melting; privacy is leaking; life is becoming a depressing march in an ugly world.
The point is not that science is harmful, but that scientific progress?needs to be mapped tidily onto human progress. That relies on moral sensibility in its widest sense. This liberal force offers hope for a better future. The very idea of moral sensibility probably sounds out-of-date. But researchers find that people desire?a sense of moral purpose which would give life dignity. People want to determine how the world works, not always to be determined by it. Moral sensibility is why people will suffer for their beliefs，?and why acts of noble self-sacrifice are so powerful．
It is admitted that our moral ideals will never be realized completely. But sometimes, however imperfectly, we can make progress. Human dignity requires the love of ideals for their own sake, but nothing requires that the love be returned. Human progress is neither guaranteed nor hopeless. Instead, it is up to us.
12. What do we know about human progress from Paragraph 1?
A. Human beings were greatly liberated by the idea of progress.
B. Language failed to serve as an expression of human progress.
C. People?began to think about human progress in the 17th century.
D. Many thinkers in the 17th century were optimistic about human progress.
13. Why does science fail to bring the desired human progress?
A. Scientific progress does not give people dignity.
B. Proper governing is not guaranteed in the use of science.
C. Science is misunderstood because of improper management.
D. The engine of progress is sensitive and unreliable.
14. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Depressing life. B. Harmful science. C. Human progress. D. Moral sensibility.
15．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To stress the fun_ction of the idea of progress.
B. To express concern about the death of moral sensibility.
C. To show the importance of moral sensibility in human progress.
D. To blame the harm of material progress to human development.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school. 16 Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.
The disease, known as “March Madness”, refers to the yearly 65–team US men’s college basketball tournament. 17 Teams compete against each other in a single-elimination (单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.
Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends. 18 Colleagues against bosses.
Big-name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little-known universities.
This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little-known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. 19
College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. 20 About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling (赌) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $ 500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post–season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.
A. Husbands against wives.
B. The players will go all out for the games.
C. But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.
D. College students will ignore piles of homework.
E. People are willing to spend more money on watching it.
F. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.
G. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.?
