第一节（共 小题；每小题 分，满分 分）
Look at the center circles of Diagram A and Diagram B. Which of the center circles looks
larger? In Diagram B? In fact, they are exactly the same size.
Then look at the picture on the right. What do you see? A vase? Or two faces？Does the
picture change quickly from one to the other again and again? Maybe or maybe not, but you can
never see them at the same time.
“What’s happening? Is something wrong with my eyes?” You may wonder at what you see.
Don’t worry. Here is how it goes:
When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains and then our brains interpret the
information. However, sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way. It
seems that our eyes are playing a joke on us. This often happens and we call it “visual illusion (错
误)”.
Movie makers often make use of visual illusions. They make the objects around actors much
smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than
they usually are. The movies Jurassic Park and Honey I shrunk the kids just make use of visual
illusions.
21. Why does the center circle in Diagram A look smaller than that in Diagram B?
A. Something is wrong with our eyes.
B. The two circles are not the same size.
C. The two pictures change quickly from one to the other.
D. Our brains interpret the information in a wrong way.
22. What’s the right order according to the passage?
a. We look at things with our eyes. b. Our brains interpret the messages.
c. Our brains tell us what we have seen. d. Our eyes send messages to our brains.
A. c a b d B. a d b c C. a c d b D. b c a d
23. What do movie makers make use of visual illusions for?
A. To make the actors seem different in size
B. To make the actors much braver
C. To help the actors become stronger
D. To help the actors look better

Everyone knows booking all your accommodation with the same hotel chain earns loyalty
points, which can be traded for free stays and the occasional bottles of wine. Now a study shows
that there could be performance benefits too.
People often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings. This is
a phenomenon known to psychologists as the “first-night” effect. This is because if a person stays
in the same room the following night, he or she tends to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her
colleagues at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, set out to investigate (调查) the
origins of this effect.
Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans
evolved. The puzzle was in what way it can be beneficial. She also knew from previous work
conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that
they can rest while remaining alert (警觉的 ) enough to avoid predators(捕猎者). This led her to
wonder if people might be doing the same thing and feeling tired the next day as a result.
To take a closer look, the team studied 35 young and healthy people as they slept in the
unfamiliar environment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The
participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored each time
with neuroimaging(神经影像) techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Their heart
rates, muscle and eye movements were also recorded.
Dr. Sasaki found that, as expected, the participants slept worse on their first night in the lab
than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less
overall. During deep sleep, the participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and
dolphins. More specifically, on the first night only, the left brain did not sleep as deeply as the
right brain did.
Wondering if the left brains indeed remained awake to process information detected in the
surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping
participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps（哔哔声） of the same tone and irregular beeps of
a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left brain stayed alert to keep guard in
a strange environment, then it would react to the random beeps by waking people up and would
ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.
Based upon these feelings, Dr. Sasaki argues in Current Biology that the first-night effect is a
mechanism that has evolved to function as something of a neurological（神经学的） night
watchman to wake people up when they hear noises when sleeping in an unfamiliar environment.
24. What puzzled the researchers about the first-night effect?
A. What role it has played in evolution.
B. What benefit can be gained from it.
C.To what extent it can affect people.
D. The relationship between it and circumstances.
25. When doing the new research, Dr. Yuka Sasaki ________.
A. conducted studies on young and old people
B. got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins
C. found birds and dolphins had nearly the same sleeping patterns
D. found half of birds’ and dolphins’ brains remain awake while asleep

26. What did Dr. Sasaki do when she re-ran the experience?
A. She analyzed the negative effects of irregular tones on brains.
B. She recorded the participants’ adaptation to changed environment.
C. She exposed the participants to two different kinds of noises.
D. She compared the responses of male and female participants.
27. What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment?
A. They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones.
B. They tended to regard irregular beeps as a threat.
C. They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps.
D. They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others.

The freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the
chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say
“sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素 C), thinking of beaches and orange
trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness.
Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon)
filled the weekend, but the best part-------particularly to my taste, dulled by months of
cold-weather root Vegetables------was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that
proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.
The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1
p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the
red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large,
soft and round red tomatoes.
Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的 ) promise, I’ve refused to buy
winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home
they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular
table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These
were the real deal and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going
to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.
Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that
Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the
Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where-------luckily for me------I was planning to have dinner that very night.
Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.
28. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?
A. Exciting. B. Boring.
C. Relaxing. D. Annoying.
29. What made the author’s getting up late early worthwhile?
A. Having a swim. B. Breathing in fresh air.
C. Walking in the morning sun. D. Visiting a local farmer’s market.
30. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?
A. They look nice.. B. They are soft
C. They taste great. D. They are juicy.

31. What was the author going to that evening?

C. Eat in a restaurant. D. Buy fresh vegetables.

The comeback
Fausto Ruiz got off the boat at the port of the city where he was born fifty years ago, and to
which he had been away for twenty years. There were lots of new buildings up on the hills around
the city now, buildings which he didn’t recognize. Yet many of the old buildings were exactly the
same, although many of the old shops were there no more.
He walked up the main road and saw that there was still one small cafè there which was the
same as it had been. Walking into the cafè, he recognized the owner behind the bar as well as the
waiter working there. They both looked much, much older. Fausto felt certain that he didn’t look
as old as they did, even though they were all twenty years older now.
Fausto sat at a table and waited. He raised his arm and shouted to the waiter, then to the
owner behind the bar, but it was useless. They didn’t come and ask him what he wanted. They
were ignoring him.
Angry, Fausto got up and walked out of the cafè. Such ignorant people, he thought. Now I
remember why I left this town twenty years ago, and why I never came back.
He walked along the main street as far as the main square in the town, and when he arrived
there he remembered the other reason why he had never come back. In the main square there was
the theatre. He had a terrible memory of what happened there twenty years ago.
Twenty years ago, Fausto Ruiz was the most famous singer in the world. He had sung in all
of the most famous opera houses in the world. Everywhere he went, people paid large sums of
money for tickets. When they saw him sing they clapped and applauded and cheered. When he
was at the height of his fame, Fausto decided to come back and held a concert in the theatre.
The concert was announced, and all the tickets sold out within a few hours. Thousands of
people crowded into the theatre to see the legendary Fausto Ruiz sing in the theatre.
There was silence as Fausto walked onto the stage. Then he began to sing, one of his best
known songs. And at the end of the song, there was just silence. Fausto waited, very surprised for
a moment, and then started to sing another song. At the end of this song, there was silence for a
moment. Then the people began to boo, and to hiss. Fausto tried to cover the noise by singing
another song, very loudly this time. But it got worse. The louder he sang, the louder the boos and
hisses became. Soon, there was a rain of rotten fruit and vegetables and smelly old shoes falling
down. Fausto was extremely angry. He stormed off the stage and out of the theatre. He left his
hometown that night, and he said that he would never, ever go back there ever again.
Now, he decided to walk into the theatre. As he walked in he saw it was the same man selling
tickets in the box office. Fausto said hello to him but the man said nothing and ignored him. “Still
the same” thought Fausto. He felt sad, and left the theatre and decided to see the house where he
had been born.
He walked all the way across the town, expecting to be recognized by people. He saw some
men in the park, who were the same age as he was, and he remembered them. They were his
friends when he was at school. He walked over to them to say hello, but they, too, ignored him.
He was so angry and so disappointed that he began to shout, “I am the great Fausto Ruiz!!!
高一英语 第 页 ? 11 N?
The greatest singer the world has ever heard!!!” Nobody took any notice of him.
When he finally reached his old house, he at least had a pleasant surprise. Outside the house,
there was a statue（雕塑）, and it was a statue of himself. “ Finally!” thought Fausto, “Somebody
has recognized my genius!”
Fausto went to have a closer look. There was some writing at the bottom of the statue.
“Fausto Ruiz” it said, “Singer”. Fausto was disappointed that it did not say “the greatest singer in
the world”, but at least it was a statue. There was some more writing. He looked carefully at it.
There was his date of birth, fifty years ago. And then there was something else. It was another date,
and it was yesterday. …It was the date of his death.
32. When he returned home twenty years later, Fausto Ruiz really expected ______.
A. to see the great changes in his hometown
B. that the people as old as him could remember who he was
C. that the people could still appreciate his singing
D. to tell the people there that he could still recognize them
33. Which of the following directly caused him to leave his hometown?
A. His singing in the most famous opera houses in the world.
B. Too much admiration for him and his singing.
C. What the people did to him in the theater.
D. His willingness to be famous all over the whole world.
34. The underlined sentence “Then the people began to boo, and to hiss” shows that the people
there _____.
A. thought highly of him and his singing
B. became very excited when hearing him singing
C. were ignoring him and his singing
D. were extremely disappointed in him and his singing
35. We can say that Fausto Ruiz is ______ according to the story.
A. open-minded and humorous B. ignorant and stupid
C. lively and cheerful D. sensitive and proud

Fear and not having a clear idea of what we want are two of the main reasons we fail in life.
Our relationships are mainly affected by our fears and insecurities, along with the lack of respect,
honesty, responsibility and appreciation.
36 We choose and create our beliefs, fears and opinions based on all our experiences
in life. Even though things and life are the way they are, mainly, we all have different opinions and
beliefs about everything and everybody. 37 They may limit our capacity and
intelligence but what really matters is the opinion we have about ourselves. You either choose to
accept and follow what other people believe or you decide to be yourself and live according to the
reality of life.
38 It is extremely important to understand how this image created by your beliefs
and imagination, directs and influences your growth. This image that you create about yourself
determines who you are and how you feel. It determines how successful you become and how far
高一英语 第 页 ? 11 N?
you can get in life. 39
Even though beliefs create the mental images that influence our behavior, actions and results,
in the end, beliefs are mental states that have nothing to do with reality. People can think whatever
they want about you, but it is entirely up to you either to believe those images and act accordingly,
or to picture yourself reaching the stars.
We have to be clear what really matters and what will shape your destiny is what you think
about yourself, nothing else but the image you create about yourself. Believe blindly in yourself !
Everything starts in the mind. If you really want to accomplish your dreams, picture yourself
having and living the life you want. 40 It doesn't matter how bad or difficult the
circumstances may look like.
A. Other people have opinions about us too.
B. Believe in yourself and be confident !
C. Self-image plays a very important role in our life.
D. In short, you are as happy or sad as you see yourself.
E. Experiences are acquired through our journey in life.
F. More importantly, you should show your respect to others, as well.
G. By living life as it is and being yourself, you create an image about yourself.

There is a fine line between a parent who is active and open-minded and one that doesn’t
know when to let go (放手 ). As my daughter, Nicole, 41 to leave home for college, I’m
discovering how hard it is to stay on the right side of this line. When I hold 42 the apron
strings (围裙带 ) connecting us, Nicole, eager to 43 independence, tries to loosen my grasp.
What 44 is an awkward mother-daughter, push-me, pull-you kind of tango.

Mother’s question: “Have you thought of taking an advanced placement class (高阶课程 ) so
that you can 45 college credit?”
Daughter’s response: “No, I’m not interested in that.”
……
I bit my lip a few times and Nicole shot me a few glares.
Two months ago, she was 46 to a great university. However, I was still the mother having
a 47 time letting go. The night before the introductory meeting of the university, I had read the
course catalog carefully and 48 courses which I thought looked good. We met on the campus
the next afternoon, and Nicole’s face 49 with excitement, “I have had my entire schedule
figured out,” she said. “Already?” I was astonished, 50 she should have discussed it with me. I
examined the schedule. Nicole hadn’t taken a (an) 51 one of the courses I had suggested.
Every course she had chosen 52 suited her interests. Just then I saw a mature, capable young
woman with a 53 mind and the ability to shape her future. She no longer needed her mother to
evaluate every 54 she made. I felt proud, though still a bit 55 .
