三、阅读理解 (共20小题; 每小题2分, 满分40分)
A
I took my dog, Phil, to the vet’s (兽医诊所) yesterday. When the doctor came into the room, he was limping (跛行).
“What’s wrong ” I said. “Oh, it’s my knee. They want me to really appreciate the operation I’m about to have, so they delayed it another month, so I would suffer more,” he replied.
It was then for the first time I actually showed my scar to someone. “Look, I had an operation on my arm.” My wife has been telling me that it really didn’t look bad. It healed very nicely. When I showed it to the doctor and his assistant, they said, “That’s terrible!”
That’s when I discovered something.
“Doctor, when I was a kid, I fell. I remember showing the scar to all my friends because I thought it was ‘cool’. Having a scar at that age was like having a battle injury.”
“Then I went into the young adulthood and vanity (虚荣心) took over. I was in a band and never wanted anything to scar my beautiful face. Now, at 59, I just joined that group of older folks who are proud to compare operations, aches and pains,” I said struggling to get it out without laughing.
The winner is the one who is in the worst shape, I guess. Then there are those at any age, who use their scars as an excuse. The kind of excuse holds them back, limits them and provides a crutch for why they aren’t happy. “Too short”... “too fat”... “my family”... “ever since we had children” and so on.
All scars never heal because we keep picking at (扯拉) them. I promised I’d never do that, yet today I didn’t even hesitate to show the doctor my scar. It’s okay. I see it as returning to my childhood. What scars do you have

After a disabled woman’s cat started a house fire, her specially trained dog came to the rescue and then died when trying to help the cat still in the house, Jamie Hanson said the 13-year-old dog named Jesse，brought the phone so she could call 911 and also brought her artificial leg.
“She got me outside and then she heard the cat upstairs and went up there to get the cat out but she wouldn’t come back to me,” Hanson, 49, said at a news conference at Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center where she was being treated for her injuries.
“She received third-degree burns on an arm in the fire at her home,” the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Department said, adding that both pets died in the fire.
Hanson, who lost a leg in a car accident three years ago, said she was on the couch watching television when the cat ran over the back of the couch.
“And he jumped onto a table that had a candle on it and tipped it over and finally set the artificial plants on fire,” she said.
Hanson said she fell off the couch and was unable to get her artificial leg from the table. “So my dog got my leg for me and went to get the phone and brought it to me, so I could call 911.”
She said she tried to put the prosthetic leg on, but it was too hot, and the dog, a German shepherd, came to her aid again before going back inside for the cat.

Mother Teresa, whose name was Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, was born on August 26th, 1910 in Skopje, Macedonia. She always wrote her birthday as 27th of August because it was the day of her baptism (洗礼), which was always more important to her than her birthday. For her work with the poor around the world, she received the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize.21世纪教育网
In 1928, she accepted a religious order and took the name Teresa. The order immediately sent her to India. A few years later, she began teaching in Calcutta. In 1948 the Catholic (天主教的) Church agreed her request and let her enter the convent (女修道院) and she began to work for the poor people. She became an Indian citizen in the following year. In 1950, she set up a religious organization in Calcutta. The organization provided food for the poor people and then she set up hospitals, schools, youth centers, and homes for the sick and the dying poor. It now has branches in 50 Indian cities and 30 other countries.
Besides the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa has received other awards for her work with the poor people.
On September 5th, 1997, Mother Teresa passed away, but she will continue to inspire people all over the world through her lasting present of love and faith. Mother Teresa often reminded the world that she was a nun (修女), not a social worker, and that prayer and communication with God were at the deepest heart of her every action.

Rather than talk about how he feels, often a man would express his love by buying the woman cosmetics (化妆品), or bringing home a flower, or giving up the control of the remote (遥控器).
And when men do talk, they’d prefer to talk about actions rather than emotions. For example, a lot of men would choose to express their long-range faith in a relationship by talking about next summer’s vacation plans, not by starting a conversation about undying love.
Men just prefer to say their plans with plane tickets, rather than poetry. It’s one of the reasons why men are more comfortable talking at work (the practical world) than they are at home (the castle that emotion built). But you can bring out his great communicator by making him feel more like he’s operating in the work mode, even when the topic at hand is your love life.
When men talk less and women want more, the conflict can escalate. Like when a policeman is questioning an unwilling witness, more silence equals more questions. A full 65 percent of men we surveyed recently told us that they don’t want their partners to ask them more questions about themselves.
It’s clear that some men are just tired of feeling like they’re on the witness stand. They’re not necessarily hiding anything; many men simply prefer not to have to tell confusing feelings that they may not even understand themselves.
An age-old method can make things better: back off a little, give him room to operate in a conversation, and he’s more likely to open up.
50. A man is likely to show his concern for woman by .
a. buying her make-up b. offering her flowers
c. talking about feelings d. handing over the remote
A. a, b, c B. a, b, d C. b, c, d D. a, c, d

A. actions B. feelings
C. long-term friendship D. conversations

A. They may give men a surprise by buying plane tickets.
B. They can ask men if they have a great time during working.
C. They might create a warm home environment first of all.
D. They can give men the feeling that they are talking at work.
53. The underlined word “escalate” has the similar meaning to .
A. decrease B. disappear C. change D. increase
54. Why are men unwilling to be asked about themselves
A. They have more private affairs than women.
B. They don’t want to be seen as criminals.
C. They don’t want to be involved in confusing feelings.
D. They have worse ability of understanding themselves.

Pick something he/she would enjoy or ask your teen to pick the class he/she would like to participate in. This way you give your teen power to choose what he/she wants to do. The point is your teen cannot make friends if he/she has no place to meet new people.
2. Guide him or her on how to ________. For example: Teach your teen to carefully choose his or her friends. Direct your teen to ask himself or herself what he/she is looking for in new friends. Get your teen to write down 5 qualities or characteristics he/she would like the new friends to have.

三、阅读理解 (共20小题; 每小题2分, 满分40分)
A
Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying...
Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you’re unhappy!
Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are a monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.
Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still!
Posture (姿势). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you normally don’t sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult, which can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.
Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse your lips. You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don’t wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you’re not pleased.
Face. When you lie, you might put on a false
face. But that expression would crack briefly, allowing displays of true emotions such as happiness, sadness, disgust (厌恶) and fear to come through.
36. When someone is keeping his arms behind his back, he tries to tell you that .
A. he is outgoing B. he is angry
C. he is not afraid D. he is cool21世纪教育网
37. If you want to appear confident, you should .
A. move your arms a lot
B. keep your head level
C. move your head a little
D. cross your arms

A. Moving around a lot more than normal.
B. Not sitting straight with the shoulders inwards.
C. Having the lips pursed to hold back an angry comment.
D. Keeping the arms to the sides of the body.
39. What can we infer from the passage
A. Different people in different countries must have the same understanding of the same body movement.
B. Body language can express more meanings than words do in communication.
C. We cannot communicate with others without words.
D. It’s not polite to use body language in formal communication.
40. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A. Body language, the most commonly used language
B. Arms tell more than legs

D. One simple movement lets slip secrets of mind

Gaochun County, a picturesque county in east China’s Jiangsu Province, was expected to be named the first “slow city” in China in November this year.21世纪教育网
The arrival of Pier Giorgio Oliveti, chairman of the World Slow City Union, raised the idea of a slow city, which has become popular all over the world. In Shanghai, Oliveti said that the slow city movement was founded in his hometown of Italy in October of 1999. “Italy is the birthplace of slow food, which emphasizes nutrition, flavor and taste,” he said.
Oliveti said the idea of a slow city has also expanded constantly during its development, which has led to some special requirements today. For instance, the slow city always emphasizes a small town and its residents, keeps a unique identity, characteristics and keeps the natural state of the town. It adopts technology without losing traditional customs and offers to provide a clean environment, a fair deal and healthy food for all. In addition, the slow city has to be eco-friendly with a population of no more than 50,000, and it must be deeply devoted to protecting and keeping the purity of the natural environment as well as greatly promoting and carrying out sustainable (可持续的) development technologies.
The ecological tour of Gaochun County includes an area of about 49 square kilometers with around 20,000 residents. It has a lot of tea, bamboo fruits, herbs (草本植物) and other green food ecological bases as well as rich folk culture resources.[来源:21世纪教育网]
There are now 135 slow cities in 24 countries across the world that have been named since the founding of the organization in 1999.

a. have less and low-speed traffic

C. b, c and e. D. c, d and e.

A. protect the environment of local schools B. control the population of big cities
C. give people more time to travel D. improve quality of life
43. Which of the following is NOT true about the slow city movement
A. The slow city movement was started in Italy.
B. “Slow city” is a movement to eat slowly in Italian cities.

An evergreen tree is a Christmas tradition in many American homes. The tree is usually a pine or fir dressed with lights and other colorful decorations.
Families might buy a cut tree or go to a tree farm and cut one down themselves. Some people bring a live tree in a pot into their home for the holidays and then put it back outdoors. Some people rent a Christmas panies might bring the same live tree to the same family year after year. Or the tree might get planted in a park or someplace else where it could help the environment.

If I left the decisions up to my daughter, she’d never play competitive sports. In her first season of forced sports, when she was four years old, she cried every time she kicked the soccer ball. She stopped on the way from the parking lot to the soccer field, wailing that her legs hurt. And worse, she cried, “I’m sweating!”
A few years have passed, and she just completed her fourth soccer season. She’s starting her second year of softball. Sports trophies (奖杯) line her window platform.
I learned from the years of football, soccer and baseball in my son’s youth that kids need to experience being on a team, and they might not beg you to sign them up. You might have to force it on them.
They need to learn about sacrificing, and about commitment. If you read parenting articles out there, you’ll find plenty of folks who shy away from competitive sports because they want their kid to always feel like a winner. I don’t know what kind of idyllic (田园的) life these parents must be leading, but in my world, I’m thinking I need to sign my kids up for something that will teach them about life’s devastating disappointments.
Hence, I think my daughter picked up some good life lessons when her team lost almost every game in the last season. Sometimes life is like that. Sometimes you get a bad call, the people on your team suck, you’re tired and don’t feel like playing, the coach is mean to you, someone scratches your face and steals the ball. And the next week, you put on your uniform, and try your best.
51. What attitude does the author have towards competitive sports
A. He supports children in taking part in competitive sports.

A. She hates the author signing her up for competitive sports.
B. She hasn’t realized the importance of competitive sports.
C. She wants to give up competitive sports. [来源:21世纪教育网]
D. She now likes competitive sports.
53. What should we do if a child doesn’t like competitive sports, according to the author
A. Get him interested in sports first.
B. Sign him up for competitive sports.
C. Leave him alone.
D. Give him some trophies first.
54. In what way is life similar to sports
A. They both mean a lot to children. B. They both need great courage.
C. They are both full of hard times.
D. They both can teach children good lessons.
55. We can infer from the fourth paragraph that competitive sports .

One of the conditions to get a good job and also to keep it is the patience. If you make decisions without consulting (磋商) with someone else then there are two reasons: the first one: you are so well prepared in your field that you are always right and what you decide is the best and the second one: you don’t think carefully and you take everything for granted. As a result of that, and your image will be ruined.
Hasty climbers often have sudden falls, especially when they are young and inexperienced. When you are young you feel that you know all. However, when you try to solve new situations you’ll realize you don’t know as much as you think you knew. Time helps you gain experience and improves your abilities. All it takes is a little more patience and more accepting others’ advice.

Much has been written about body language during a job interview. Experts from across many fields are full of advice on just how to present your best performance in an interview using conscious (自觉的) body language choices. While many of these experts say there is a “secret” system for making the most of an interview, the reality is that most of them focus on a few general types of behaviors that have the greatest effect during a job interview.

Don’t play with any papers or notes you have in front of you, and don’t lean (倚靠) your arms heavily on the table. Keep your body position open and make eye contact while listening to and answering questions.
Leaving the interview location — No matter how you feel about your performance during the interview, carry yourself with confidence till you leave the interview location.

I was born in Rockville, Maryland into an immigrant (移民的) family that came to America from Mainland China in the 1940’s. Last summer, I was in Beijing to work at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
For 20 years I was regarded as Chinese or Asian in America. So answering the question “Where are you from ” in China with “United States” was a little uncomfortable, sometimes for both sides. Some co-workers were surprised at my use of chopsticks and my taste for Chinese food, as if being “American” could only mean eating at McDonald’s.
Luckily, I was not always looked on as an American. One afternoon, I took a bus back to my apartment. A local (当地人) was talking with a white American in English. When the American got up at his stop, I took his seat and heard the local’s conversation with a friend sitting on the other side of her. The local told her friend she often talked with foreigners and that was the best way to learn spoken English. Meanwhile, I sat there and wanted to tell her that an American was still next to her.
Then I received a call from a friend about meeting up to watch Peking Opera the next day. When I hung up my cellphone, the woman sitting next to me asked for how long I had been learning English in order to speak it that well. She was a bit disappointed at my answer that I was born in the US, but the question led to an interesting conversation on language learning.

When I started teaching at school, I was sure I would change the world and touch children who needed love.
Although my students seemed to respond pretty well to my teaching, there was a small group of girls who became more and more hostile (敌对的) towards me.
One day a fight happened in my classroom. Attempting to end it, I stepped in (居中调停) to face one of these hostile young women, who started hitting me in the face. Two boys jumped up to control the girl, but the damage was done.
While the girl was suspended (暂时停学) for a few days, I was determined that she would not return to my classroom. But I also prayed. I wanted to see all the students right there in my daily work at school.
On the top of my daily lesson-plan book, I wrote this statement, “To see all the children in my classroom is always beautiful.” With this view I could expect to heal any anger towards the girl in my heart.
After her suspension, she returned to my classroom. The student’s young mother was trying to raise six children while her husband was away in the war. The mother and I agreed to work together to help her oldest daughter.
There were no more incidents of anger the rest of the year. In fact, in the seven years I remained at that school, I taught all six of this family’s children. When the youngest was in my class, the mother told me, “Our family loves you. Every year one of my kids says, ‘I hope I’m in her class!’”

Once upon a time, there was a little weasel (鼬鼠). His name was Horace. Unlike all the other weasels, Horace was very bookish.
He had a copy of The Little Prince that he had found out behind a chicken house. The third chapter of the book was missing and the back cover was broken, but it was the only book he had, and he loved it. While all the other weasels spent their time playing, Horace would read instead. This made the other weasels surprised, but they let it go by.
Then, one day, the Earth was invaded (入侵) by space aliens. These aliens were a group of giant librarians. Because they were librarians, they had of course done their research before they began their invasion.
Meanwhile, the librarians went out to make contact with the species with whom they felt the most affinity (密切关系). They had hoped that they could find the great works of weasel literature, but they found that this was not so. The giant weasel librarian aliens were very disappointed. “Is there no weasel at all who loves books as we do ” (Naturally, they had learned to speak the weasel language.) “No,” said the weasels.
At last, they came to the town where Horace lived. Here the weasels said “Yes!” They found Horace and placed him in their libraries, where at last he got a complete edition of The Little Prince. He read it every day for the rest of his life.

In most places children are banned from working. But at a theme park in Japan, boys and girls can fight fires, catch thieves and also perform the more boring tasks of making hamburgers and delivering parcels.
Kidzania, in a shopping centre in Tokyo, is like a real town where children can act out their dreams of future careers. The streets are lined with shops and even a bank. Everything inside is two-thirds normal size to accommodate (容纳) the young workers. After their parents buy the ticket, children can try several jobs.
Being a firefighter is a dream of many children. Children are being trained in the fire station of the town. Suddenly an alarm bell rings and they put on firefighter clothes before running towards the scene. The scene is created with lighting and fake smoke, but for children it is real enough. “Sometimes it’s too hard for them,” says the worker Ryoko Ishikura. “Some kids are in tears when they hear the alarm and the fire breaks out. But even with tears in their eyes they go on running and fight the fire bravely.”
The idea for Kidzania started in Mexico. It arrived in Japan three years ago and there are also parks in Chile, Indonesia and Portugal. Another one is opening soon in Dubai.
The children are rewarded for their efforts in “Kidzos”, the theme park money. In most countries it is quickly spent in shops and restaurants. But in Japan, children form long queues at the theme park’s bank. “I’ll keep it in the bank,” said nine-year-old Noa Morita, who wants to be a fashion designer.
47. What do children mainly do in Kidzania
A. They are trained to be volunteers.
B. They play roles in children’s movies.
C. They experience their future jobs.
D. They learn how to make and save money.
48. When children arrive at a fire scene in Kidzania, they .
A. are frightened to run away B. call the firefighters quickly
C. tried to put out the fire bravely D. are trained to fight the fire
49. How did Noa Morita deal with her Kidzos
A. She spent it quickly in shops. B. She put it in the park’s bank.
C. She asked her parents to keep it for her.
D. She used it to pay for fashion courses.
50. What can we learn about Kidzania from the text
A. The idea came from America.
B. Japan is the fourth country to build it.
C. Everything inside it is almost half normal size.
D. It looks like a real town with shops and a bank.

Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock in London. The name was given in honor of Sir Benjamin Hall, who was in charge of the works when the bell was installed in 1856.
The clock has become a symbol of the United Kingdom and London. When a television or film-maker wishes to quickly show a non-UK audience a certain location in Britain, a popular way to do so is to show an image of the Clock Tower. The Clock Tower is also often voted as the Most Iconic London Film Location.
The Clock Tower is a focus of New Year celebrations in the United Kingdom, with radio and TV stations tuning to its chimes (报时钟声) to welcome the start of the year. 21世纪教育网
Londoners who live an appropriate (适当的) distance from the Clock Tower and Big Ben can, by means of listening to the chimes both live and on the radio or television, hear the bell strike thirteen times on New Year’s Eve. This is possible due to what amounts to an offset between live and electronically transmitted chimes since the speed of sound is much slower than the speed of radio waves. Guests are invited to count the chimes aloud as the radio is gradually turned down.
The Clock Tower has appeared in many films, most notably in the 1978 version of The Thirty-Nine Steps, in which the hero attempted to halt the clock’s progress (to prevent a linked bomb blowing up) by hanging from the minute hand of its western face. It was also used in the film, Shanghai Knights, starring Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson, and was depicted (描述) as being destroyed in Aliens of London. In the Walt Disney film The Great Mouse Detective, it is even shown being destroyed by a UFO!
51. From Paragraph 2, we know that Big Ben is .
A. a landmark of the UK and London B. a most popular scene for film makers
C. a must-see sight for tourists to London
D. a popular place where to have pictures taken21世纪教育网
52. Why do some people hear the bell strike thirteen times on New Year’s Eve
A. They are standing too far away.
B. There is something wrong with Big Ben.
C. There’s some technical problems in the radio broadcasting.
D. They hear the striking live and by radio waves at the same time.
53. The underline word “halt” in Paragraph 5 means “ ”.
A. look into something B. get something to stop
C. make something work again
D. draw people’s attention to something
54. In which of the following movies is the clock destroyed
A. The Thirty-Nine Steps and Shanghai Knights.
B. Shanghai Knights and Aliens of London.
C. Aliens of London and The Thirty-Nine Steps.
D. The Great Mouse Detective and Aliens of London.21世纪教育网
55. What would be the best title of the text 21世纪教育网

B. Sir Benjamin Hall — the founder of Big Ben
C. Big Ben — significance in popular culture21世纪教育网
D. Big Ben and New Year’s celebrations

It’s important that you know some basic safety tips when you choose toys for your kids. Good toys are a great investment, but they just need to be safe. Believe it or not, there are quite a few dangerous toys on the market. So, here are some simple tips to keep in mind that will help you buy the safe ones.
●Tip 1 Consider the size of the toys.
When you are considering toys for your kids, the first thing you need to do is to consider the size of the toys. You don’t want to purchase toys that come with small parts, such as wheels, eyes, or buttons. If these parts come off, they can be swallowed. This is especially important if you happen to have kids who are under the age of four.
●Tip 2
The shape of the toys you choose should also be taken into consideration. Make sure that they don’t have any blunt (钝的) ends or edges that are very sharp. Metal toys and glass toys should be avoided.
●Tip 3 Find out about surface safety.
Find out about the safety of the surface before you purchase any toys. Try to find a label that will let you know if there are any toxic substances (有毒物质) that you need to know about. Some toys lately have been painted with paint that was toxic, and other toys often contain liquids in them that are toxic to kids if they happen to leak out.
●Tip 4 Beware of strings.21世纪教育网
Beware of strings when you are buying toys. Strings can be very dangerous to your children, especially if you have younger children. They can get wrapped up around your children’s body, and this is very dangerous, especially if the string gets wrapped around their neck. So, it’s best to avoid toys .
56. What does the text mainly talk about (Please answer within 8 words.)

Yosemite Park is one of the most beautiful locations in the United States. A national park that covers over 1,100 miles of land, it stretches across the western slopes (斜坡) of the Sierra Nevada mountains. So it supports a wide variety of biological diversity (生物多样性).

The Thanksgiving Coat, written by Elizabeth Hoadley and illustrated (插图) by her talented 5-year daughter, Kailee, is a fine example of what level that teaching and learning can rise to.
This inspiring and motivational children’s book is based on a true story that began with Kailee’s visit with her mother to a food bank to provide much needed food for poor families. After a call from Kailee’s school asking her to spearhead donations to a local food bank, Elizabeth Hoadley took her daughter to the grocery store to select the food that they would give.
Kailee was full of questions for her mother —Who would get the food Were there children involved Did the children have toys to play with, a bed to sleep on and a coat to keep them warm The Thanksgiving Coat is a direct result of Kailee’s probing questions and her concern about the children who might be hungry and cold.
The Thanksgiving Coat speaks to the values and beliefs that we should all develop and pass on to our children. But, Hoadley is very specific about how to sensitize our children to the issues of homelessness and hunger without scaring them.
Because of the urgent call for help from the food bank, Hoadley was able to join with Kailee in creating a way to reach out to others who didn’t have as much as they did and needed help. Children will learn the lesson of giving and gratitude when they read The Thanksgiving Coat, and it may inspire them to create their own methods of giving.

We all need a vacation, whether with the entire family or your significant other. Unfortunately, many of us will not be able to follow through with vacation plans. But now, there is an alternative that is catching on rather quickly and it is called a “Staycation”. A staycation is just what it sounds like, a vacation but you stay at home. It might not sound interesting, but you can turn it into a fun and relaxing getaway.
Tell family and friends your plans. In their eyes you are truly on vacation and they only need to contact you in case of an emergency.
Go outside; don’t let the kids sleep all day. Go out and birdwatch, go fishing, explore the parks and nature, take in all you can of the outside world. You can even have a relaxing day at the beach, soak in some sun, and let the kids go swimming.
Go on a picnic; have the kids fly kites. Bring some bubbles, and have a nice day with the wind blowing in your hair. Watch as the kids run and play and enjoy the beautiful outdoors.
Camping is another fun way to have a staycation. If you have a camping ground in your area, you can go camping for a day or two and show the kids how it is to live right in the heart of Mother Nature.
Just remember, it really doesn’t matter where you decide to go, whether home or away. As long as you create quality time with your family you can strengthen the bonds that may have been pushed aside during all the long stressful work hours. Time is the most important thing you can give to your husband, wife and kids, enjoying every moment together, and you will have lasting memories in your hearts.
46. What is mainly talked about in the passage
A. The popularity of a staycation. B. The importance of a vacation.
C. Where to spend your vacation this year. D. How to plan a staycation.
47. You should tell family and friends your plans so that .

D. they can help you make preparations
48. Which of the following is NOT a good way to have a good staycation

C. To go to the parks. D. To relax on the beach.
49. What is the most important thing of taking a staycation

Kids won’t eat their vegetables Name them again, scientists say. In a new study, 186 four-year-old children were given regular carrots and, on other lunch days, they were given the same vegetables which were renamed X-ray Vision Carrots.
The study suggests kids like vegetables with cool names better and the influence of these names might continue to exist. Children continued to eat about 50 percent more carrots even on the days when they were no longer called cool names.
The research, which was funded (资助) by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, was put up at the yearly meeting of the School Nutrition Association in Washington DC.
“Cool names can make for cool foods,” says Brian Wansink of Cornell University. “Whether it is ‘power peas’ or ‘dinosaur broccoli trees,’ giving the food a fun name gets kids to think that it will be more fun to eat. And it seems to keep working—even on the next day,” Wansink said.
Similar results have been found with adults. A restaurant study showed that when the Seafood Filet was changed to Succulent Italian Seafood Filet, sales increased by 28 percent and the taste rating (评级) increased by 12 percent. “The same food, but different expectations, and different experience,” said Wansink, the author of Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think.
The study was done in pre-schools (幼儿园), but the researchers believe the same tricks can work with children .
“I’ve been using this with my kids at home,” said a researcher Collin Payne. “Whatever inspires their imagination seems to inspire their appetite (胃口).”

三、阅读理解 (共20小题; 每小题2分, 满分40分)

It was a normal Saturday morning, and everyone was in a good mood. The year was 2000 and I was then only 6 years old. I remember it like it was yesterday though. We were just eating breakfast when we received a phone call. We received phone calls all the time, so it was nothing new to me. However, this phone call was an important one. I soon heard and saw my mother crying on the couch(沙发)with my father comforting her. My brother, sister, and I didn’t know what had happened, as they had not told us yet. Later, I was told that my grandfather was in the hospital because he had a heart attack. I did not know what to think. I had never heard of a heart attack, but I figured (认为) that it must be serious if he was in the hospital.
My grandfather and grandmother lived far away from us and we did not get to see them often. It was a long trip. My mother rushed to the hospital while my father stayed at home with my brother, sister and me.

Li Denghai, with his muddy boots and tanned(晒黑的) face, may not look like he is one of China’s famous agricultural pioneers. But the 61-year-old man from Shandong Province has made scientific breakthroughs(突破), which made great contributions to China’s food security(安全). His main work has been in achieving the higher output of corn production.21世纪教育网
Li, who holds the world record for the highest output of summer corn, once says, “Corn has a life; it sings and dances. If you listen clearly, it can speak to you.” He started his research in 1969 when he was 20 and just dropped out of a high school. He then read an article which pointed that corn output per mu in the USA was six times higher than that in China. He was shocked and set out to work on just a small piece of land round the clock to see if he could increase the output. He often went to the field with a flashlight late at night, if he had been away during the day. By careful nurturing (照料) he managed to double the output.
Li Denghai was awarded the “China Award for Significant Contribution to the Maize (玉米) Industry” in 2005, and the same year the company named after his own name came into the market on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Li, however, is never happier than when he is in the middle of his cornfields. “I can forget my tiredness when talk to my corns,” he says.

Cleaning became an obsession (使人痴迷的事) with Will Palmer after he had a operation of a cornea (角膜) transplant. Before the operation, Mr. Palmer was happy to leave the housework to his wife. However, since he had a cornea transplant, he has become liking to do the dusting and washing up, and developed the good habit he didn’t have before.
Mr. Palmer said, “Since having the transplant operation, my vision is almost 20/20. I can now notice every spot of dust and dirt, and can’t help but have a go at cleaning it up. For some reason seeing the grime(尘垢) gets on my nerves and I have to do something about it. It started as a joke that I must have been given the cornea of a woman. There’s a reason why men don’t clean like this and I think it’s because we just don’t see the dirt, but I see it everywhere I go.”
Mr. Palmer developed corneal disease Fuchs Dystrophy six years ago. The condition caused the inner surface of the cornea — the thin layer that covers and protects the iris (虹膜) and pupil (瞳孔) that is responsible for two thirds of the eye’s vision — to slowly die. This meant that over time, the sight of Will’s right eye had dropped so much that everything appeared unclear. It was also sensitive to light. Later, Mr. Palmer got the cornea transplant.
Scientific studies have suggested that up to a third of organ transplant patients have inherited changes in their personalities, preferences and skills from their donors. Researchers have proposed various theories, including the idea that memories are stored in organ tissue as well as the brain and can therefore be passed on to transplant patients.
46. Will Palmer almost lost his vision as a result of .
A. an incident B. a kind of cancer
C. an eye disease D. the short-sight
47. Why did Will Palmer think his cornea was from a woman
A. Because he was more anxious than before
B. Because he became obsessed with cleaning
C. Because he developed a habit of fast reading
D. Because he could see things more clearly
48. Some memories can be passed on to transplant patients from the donors for .
A. they are sensitive to choose the body
B. they are likely to live in the donors for ever
C. they are unchangeable once they came into being
D. they are stored well in organ tissue
49. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage 21世纪教育网
A. Will Palmer’s vision recovered well after the operation.
B. Will Palmer can see nothing except the dirt around him.
C. Will Palmer develops all the same preferences as the donor.
D. Will Palmer used to do housework together with his wife.
50. The passage intends to .
A. warn us to protect our sight B. give an example of transplant
C. introduce a new cure for eye disease D. offer us some news on medicine
D
Dolphins are the second brightest creatures after humans in the world — even more clever than chimpanzees(黑猩猩). Experts say it is now time for dolphins to be treated as “non-human persons” after research showed their brains have many features connected with high intelligence. Just like us: A bottlenose dolphin shakes hands. They believe it is cruel to keep such intelligent animals in amusement parks, or to kill them for food or by accident when fishing. Some 300,000 whales and dolphins die in this way every year.
A study carried out by Lori Marino, a zoologist at Emory University in Atlanta, scanned (扫描) the brains of dolphin species and compared them to the brains of humans, monkeys and chimpanzees. She said, “Many dolphin brains are larger than our own and second in whole only to the human brain when corrected for body size.”
Dolphins have long been known for their intelligence. However it had been believed that chimpanzees — who can achieve the intelligence levels of three-year-old children — were the brighter of the two.
New studies suggest that in fact dolphins — especially species such as the bottlenose — are more intelligent. They have particular personalities, a strong sense of the self and can think about the future. They are also “cultural” animals, with new types of behavior being picked up by one dolphin from another. In one piece of research, bottlenose dolphins were shown to be able to recognize themselves in a mirror and use it to observe various parts of their bodies.
Dolphins’ famous intelligence has also made its way into fiction. In Douglas Adams’s story, the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, dolphins escape from Earth after humans fail to understand their warnings that the planet is about to be destroyed.
51. Why are dolphins considered as “non-human persons”
A. Because they are highly intelligent creatures.
B. Because they can shake hands like humans.
C. Because they can amuse humans in parks.
D. Because they are more lovely than chimpanzees.
52. The brains of dolphins are smaller than those of .
A. whales B. monkeys C. chimpanzees D. humans
53. According to the research, bottlenose dolphins can .
a. think about the future b. learn from each other
c. recognize themselves in mirrors d. help humans protect the earth better
A. a, b, d B. a, c, d C. a, b, c D. b, c, d
54. What can we infer from the passage
A. People haven’t treated dolphins well enough.
B. Whales are just as intelligent as dolphins.
C. Monkeys have larger brains than chimpanzees.
D. Dolphins will develop more human behaviors.
55. Douglas Adams let dolphins appear in the story to .
A. draw people’s attention B. show their intelligence
C. prove humans’ intelligence D. express their warnings

第一节 阅读表达 (共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)
Many international students choose large schools. But a growing number of them are attending smaller ones.
Douglas Bennett, the president of Earlham College in Indiana, has written several articles aimed at helping students choose a college that best fits their needs. He says one of the important things for the international students to consider is the size of a school. He says Earlham College is small for a reason. “We’re that small because we think we educate much more effectively and much more powerfully because we stay small. It stretches everyone more. It draws everyone into more different kinds of activities.”
Of course, there are also good arguments for attending a larger school. Many big schools are widely recognized. And in some cases that might lead to more job interviews than a degree from a lesser known college. Larger schools also have more money, which can mean more resources for education and research.
In addition to size, Douglas Bennett says there are other important things to consider. For example: Which programs at the school are the strongest Some schools have stronger programs in the sciences. Others are stronger in the liberal arts. Also, what do the school’s top students go on to do after they graduate What kinds of activities are offered that might add to the educational experience Are there sports teams What about a radio station or newspaper
But Douglas Bennett says . “The most important choice you make is who you choose to be yourself. If you’re prepared to bring your best self to the college, then it matters where you go to college. On the other hand, if you choose not to prepare to work very hard, it doesn’t matter where you go.”
56. What’s the best title of the passage (within 8 words)

One possible version:
A traffic accident happened at 9:40 this morning. At the crossroad near the post office, the traffic lights turned red, but a red truck didn’t stop as if the driver hadn’t noticed it. Unluckily, it ran into a white car, whose driver was injured. Immediately, someone called the police and they came a few minutes later. The driver of the white car was sent to hospital at once. At the same time, the truck driver was taken to the police station. Obviously it was the truck driver who broke the traffic rule and he would be punished. Luckily, the car driver was not seriously hurt, but he should stay in hospital for another day to make sure he was all right.
