　　I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight（货物）yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirtytwo. I can still

　　36

　　the brightness of sunshine. It would be

　　37

　　to see again, but a

　　38

　　can do strange things to people. I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the

　　39

　　of them made me

　　40

　　the more what I had.

　　Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more quickly a person is able to make these adjustments, the more

　　41

　　his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never

　　42

　　. I was totally confused and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me—the

　　43

　　to live—which I didn’t see, and they made me want to

　　44

　　against blindness.

　　The hardest

　　45

　　I had to learn was to believe in myself. I am not talking about simply the kind of

　　46

　　that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: the confidence that I am, despite being imperfect, a real,

　　47

　　person; that there is a special place where I can make myself fit.

　　It took me years to discover and

　　48

　　this confidence. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt. “I can’t use this.” I said. “Take it with you,” he

　　49

　　me, “and roll it around.” The words

　　50

　　in my head. “Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought

　　51

　　: playing baseball. At Philadelphia’s Overbrook School for the Blind I

　　52

　　a successful variation of baseball and I called it ground ball.

　　All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to be clear about my

　　53

　　. It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach

　　54

　　that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would

　　55

　　sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.

　　36. A. remember B. affect C. measure D. bring

　　37. A. possible B. wonderful C. hopeful D. reasonable

　　38. A. question B. mistake C. disaster D. situation

　　39. A. importance

　　B. value C. loss D. attention

　　43. A. right

　　B. plan C. place D. potential

　　第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）

　　第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　A

　　The Dangers at the Beach

　　British beaches look harmless, but there are hidden dangers.

　　Allergy

　　The lesser weever is the fish to look out for on British beaches. It lies almost buried in the sand with just its mouth and fin exposed, a trap for unlucky fishermen and beachgoers walking around in the shallows. If you stand on a weever fish, it’ll sting (刺) you badly. The sting may cause heart attacks, and shock, though usually it just causes pain, redness and swelling.

　　Many people have an allergic reaction to the fish and may start to sweat, develop a faster heartbeat and feel sick as the poison gets further into the body. People who have been stung should take painkillers and if they develop an allergic reaction to the sting, an antihistamine (a drug used to treat an allergy) is recommended.

　　Sea currents

　　But fish are the least of your worries on the beach. The force of the sea is much more dangerous than anything swimming about inside it.

　　Coastguards are warning the public not to swim if there is a red flag flying on a beach and to find out about local tides and currents.

　　Dangerous swimming

　　The Coastguard Agency says people should not swim if they feel unwell, for at least an hour after a meal, if they have been drinking alcohol or if they are cold and tired. They also warn against swimming alone, swimming too far out to sea if you have breathing problems.

　　Pollution

　　A recent study of UK beaches showed more than 10% are failing to meet standards for clean water. The Marine Conservation Society said polluted water was still being pumped into the sea in some areas and was winding its way onto beaches. But the water companies say the society’s standards are too tough and that 90% of British beaches pass European standards.

　　56. What can we learn about the lesser weever from the passage?

　　A. Its poison can be washed off by water.

　　C. It buries itself deep in the sand. D. It can be dangerous on the beach.

　　B. Its sting is usually serious.

　　57. From the passage, we know you’d better swim ______.

　　A. when there is a red flag flying on the beach

　　B. when there are strong sea currents

　　C. together with friends

　　D. just after eating

　　58. Which of the following can best describe the UK beaches?

　　A. Most beaches in the UK are fine.

　　B. There is no pollution on UK beaches.

　　C. Most beaches fail to meet European standards.

　　D. 10% of British beaches meet European standards.

　　B

　　Three-year-old Teddy Lasry was sleeping in his cowboy outfit (套装) yesterday at his family’s Fifth Ave. apartment when he shot up in bed screaming. A 3-foot-long black-and-white snake twisted around his left arm and had just bitten his little finger.

　　“The babysitter (a person taking care of children while their parents are away for a short time) was frightened to death,” said Teddy’s father, David Lasry, who, along with his wife, Evelyn, was at work when the snake appeared about 4:00 pm.

　　The horrified babysitter called 911 and the building’s doorman. The doorman and two cable TV workers helped take the snake off the boy’s arm and put it in a garbage bag. Police rushed Teddy to Mount Sinai Medical Center, where he spent two hours attached to a heart monitor as a precaution in case the snake was poisonous. It wasn’t. Experts at the snakebite treatment center at Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx, where policemen took the snake, found out it was a non-poisonous California king snake.

　　But how did it end up in Teddy’s bed?

　　A little detective work determined that the snake had escaped two weeks ago from its cage in the apartment of a doctor whose family lives four floors below the Lasrys. The apologetic owner said his son’s pet snake likely traveled up the water pipes and into his neighbor’s apartment. “It’s a very gentle, very harmless snake,” he said. “It’s handled by our family all the time.”

　　David Lasry believed the pet was simply hungry after two weeks of wandering. Evelyn said her son seems to have overcome his fright by thinking of himself as a hero cowboy as he rode in the back of the police car to the hospital.

　　“I told Teddy he’s a pretty snake, a nice pet snake who got out of his cage,” Evelyn said. “But he asked, ‘Why did he bite my finger, Mamma?’ And I said, ‘Because he saw that you are a big boy, Teddy, in your cowboy outfit and he got scared.’”

　　59. What did the babysitter do after Teddy was bitten by a snake?

　　A. She made an emergency call. B. She called the TV company.

　　C. She ran out of the apartment. D. She took the snake off Teddy’s arm.

　　60. We can learn from the passage that the snake _______.

　　A. was poisonous B. was deserted by its owner

　　C. was kept in a cage by its owner D. escaped to the apartment downstairs

　　61. From the passage, we know _______.

　　A. the snake was used to being touched

　　B. Teddy was awake when the snake arrived

　　C. Teddy’s mother was at home when the snake turned up

　　D. Teddy needed a heart machine to stay alive for two hours

　　62. Teddy probably believed he was attacked because _______.

　　A. his parents weren’t at home

　　C. he was asleep B. the snake was scared of him

　　D. the snake was hungry

　　C

　　Students who date(约会) in middle school have significantly worse study skills. They are four times more likely to drop out of school and report twice as much alcohol and tobacco use as their single classmates, according to new research from the University of Georgia.

　　“Romantic relationships are a trademark of adolescence, but very few studies have examined how adolescents differ in the development of these relationships,” said Pamela Orpinas, study author and professor in the College of Public Health and head of the Department of Health Promotion and Behavior.

　　Orpinas followed a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grade.

　　Each year, the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviors, including the use of drugs and alcohol. Their teachers completed questionnaires about the students’ academic(学术的) efforts. He found that some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school, and these students always had the best study skills according to their teachers. Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school.

　　“At all points in time, teachers considered the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having the worst study skills,” according to the journal article. Study skills refer to behaviors that lead to academic success such as doing work for extra credit (学分), being well organized, finishing homework, working hard and reading assigned chapters.

　　“Dating a classmate may be as complicated as dating a co-worker,” Orpinas said, “when the couple break up, they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps see the ex-partner dating someone else. It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and could divert (转移) attention from studying.”

　　“Dating should not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school,” Orpinas concluded.

　　63. According to the passage, students who date in middle school may_____

　　A. have poorer academic performances

　　B. be more likely to hurt others

　　C. enjoy better school lives

　　D. be less likely to use alcohol and tobacco

　　64. When doing his study, Orpinas ________________.

　　A. followed a group of students of 6th and 12th grade

　　B. completed a survey and a report each year

　　C. found that the students’ study skills have connection with their frequency of dating

　　D. completed questionnaires about the students’ academic efforts

　　65. What can possibly happen to the school couples after they break up?

　　A. They don’t want to see each other any longer.

　　B. They will think it’s reasonable to get depressed.

　　C. They will miss their ex-partners sometimes.

　　D. Their attention to studying will be affected.

　　66. Orpinas’ attitude towards dating in middle school is_____

　　A. supportive

　　B. negative

　　C. positive

　　D. unconcerned

　　D

　　Basically, without the possibility of failure, there is little possibility of success. Education is in danger of becoming a branch of the entertainment industry. Although education should indeed be entertaining where possible, it cannot always be fun. Often, it needs the “hard yards”.

　　Some educationalists feel that if something causes worry it should be avoided at all costs. I would disagree. Facing up to challenges helps develop children. Avoiding challenges can severely limit their potential. Tougher children are able to try and fail. The less tough may simply fail to try anything new.

　　I’m not advocating putting children under pressure. The real debate is perhaps what pressures are unavoidable. It’s not about “throwing children into the deep end”, but rather encouraging them to put their foot in the water and giving them the skills to float.

　　This latter approach is basically the work I and my team do at the University of Hull. We measure mental toughness and then provide interventions to improve this. These interventions include psychological skills such as goal setting, relaxation and thought control. So, for example, many children will say: “What happens if it goes wrong?” We work hard to change this so that the sentence reads: “What happens if it goes right?” One word difference, but a world away when thinking about challenges.

　　We try to help children deal more effectively with life using a three-step approach. Firstly, it is important to set realistic and achievable goals. Then it is a matter of finding out what factors (因素) are helping children to achieve these goals and what factors are working against this. The final step is to discover which of these factors can be controlled, or at least influenced, and what factors the child is in reality stuck with. Redirecting children’s energies to movable obstacles (障碍) can produce huge life changes.

　　However, I think that for most of us we have become stress averse (反对的) and overreact to it. It has always been there, and it has always been the case that some people enjoy it, some need help to deal with it and some people’s lives are ruined by it.

　　Showing our children that stress can be faced with and beaten offers them a way forward. The more a fear is avoided, the bigger it gets.

　　67. From the passage, we know the writer believes _____.

　　A. education needs challenges

　　B. education should always be fun

　　C. children should avoid facing challenges

　　D. the more challenges, the better for the children

　　68. The writer disagreed with some educationalists because _____.

　　A. some children are less tough B. some pressures are avoidable

　　C. some challenges do good to children D. some children are unaware of their potential

　　69. What do the writer and his team do at the University of Hull?

　　A. Record what the children do in stressful situations.

　　B. Make the children tougher mentally and physically.

　　C. Put the children under pressure by giving them challenges.

　　D. Give the children challenges and suggest suitable approaches.

　　70. What is the correct attitude towards stress according to the writer?

　　A. We should try our best to avoid stress.

　　B. We should love stress because stress is unavoidable.

　　C. We should put ourselves to the test in stressful situations.

　　D. We should experience stress and learn skills to deal with it.

　　第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）

　　根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。

　　Travel Manners

　　Every culture has its own unwritten list of behavior that is acceptable. Every society also has its taboos, or types of behavior that are considered a violation of good manners.

　　The word taboo comes from the Tongan language and is used in modern English to describe verbal and nonverbal behavior that is forbidden or to be avoided.

　　71

　　They tend to be specific to a culture or country, and usually form around a group’s values and beliefs. What is considered acceptable behavior in one country may be a serious taboo in another.

　　Verbal taboos usually involve topics that people believe are too private to talk about publicly, or relate to one’s manner of speaking. In many cultures, for example, it is considered bad manners to discuss subjects such as sex or religion in public. In some countries, the volume (音量) of one’s voice may annoy people.

　　72

　　73

　　For example, one of the biggest differences among many Western, Asian, and African cultures is the use of eye contact (接触). In the US, people make eye contact when they talk to others.

　　74

　　In many Asian and African cultures, however, children are taught to lower their eyes when talking to their elders, or those of higher rank, as a way to show respect.

　　Certain gestures made with the hands can have very different meanings depending on the country you are in. Crossing your middle finger over your forefinger is the sign for good luck in many western countries.

　　75

　　Also, in some Asian countries, moving your hands a lot while talking, or ‘talking with your hands’, is considered unsuitable.

　　Behavior that is acceptable and non-offensive in one culture can be highly offensive in another. When visiting a foreign country, be aware of some of the basic differences, as this will help to ensure a more enjoyable trip.

　　A. Nonverbal taboos usually relate to body language.

　　B. In Vietnam and Argentina, however, it is a rude gesture.

　　C. In spite of what some people may think, taboos are not universal.

　　D. Cancer is a taboo subject and people are frightened to talk openly about it.

　　E. Learn a country’s customs so that you don’t hurt the local people unconsciously.

　　F. They might think that someone who is speaking or laughing loudly is rude or aggressive.

　　G. If a person avoids eye contact, others might think they are being dishonest or unconfident.
