　　第一节：

　　（共15小题；每小题2分，满分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。

　　A

　　Shree Bose is one of the most impressive kids graduating from Fort Worth Country Day High School this year. Bose has a large circle of friends, and there’s one who you may have heard of: President Obama. He has twice publicly recognized her achievements in cancer research and spoken with her in the Oval Office.

　　If that isn’t enough, Bose recently gave a TED Talk about her work with the cancer drug Cisplatin, which also won her first prize at the Google Science Fair and recognition as one of Glamour magazine’s Young Amazing Women of the Year.

　　After watching her grandfather struggle with liver cancer, Bose was determined to help out in any way she could. As a high school student though, her scientific choices were limited. She reached out to various hospitals and research centers, but doctors turned down her requests because they felt she was too inexperienced medically.

　　Only the North Texas Science Health Center respected her determination and chose to guide her. The results were amazing.

　　Bose chose to study a protein (蛋白质) and its reaction with the cancer drug Cisplatin. She noticed that when she prevented this protein from growing, Cisplatin was allowed to begin destroying cancer cells once again.

　　“My project not only contributes to the understanding of the relationship between the protein and Cisplatin, but also suggests a newer, more effective treatment for patients who resist Cisplatin,” Bose said.

　　Bose’s achievements aren’t limited to the lab, though. She was also captain of her swim team and editor-in-chief of her school paper.

　　Bose is currently getting practical experience at the National Institute of Health and she’ll be attending Harvard in the fall. She plans to study molecular biology and go to medical school. Eventually, she would like to be a doctor.

　　In most cases, there is only one correct answer to a question. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.

　　Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?

　　People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.

　　Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.

　　The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.

　　Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter — a person who made pots and pans.

　　The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.

　　Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.

　　Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.

　　25. Which of the following aspects are NOT covered in the surnames of the passage? A. People’s characters.

　　B. People’s occupations.

　　C. Places where people lived.

　　D. Talents that people possessed.

　　26. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.

　　A. owned or drove a cart

　　B. made things with metals

　　C. built houses and furniture

　　D. made kitchen tools or containers

　　27. Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.

　　A. Beatrice Smith

　　B. Leonard Carter

　　C. Donald Greenwood

　　D. George Longstreet

　　28. The underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a person’s _____. A. ancestors

　　B. later generations

　　C. friends and relatives

　　D. colleagues and partners

　　Even in a weak job market, the old college try isn’t the answer for everyone. A briefing paper from the Brookings Institution warns that “we may have overdone the message” on college, senior fellow Isabel Sawhill said.

　　“We’ve been telling students and their families for years that college is the only way to succeed in the economy and of course there’s a lot of truth to that,” Ms. Sawhill said. “On average it does pay off… But if you load up on a whole lot of student debt and then you don’t graduate, that is a very bad situation.”

　　One comment that people often repeat among the years of slow job growth has been the value of education for landing a job and advancing in a career. April’s national unemployment rate stood at 7.5%, according to the Labor Department. The unemployment rate for high-school graduates over 25 years old who hadn’t attended college was 7.4%, compared with 3.9% for those with a bachelor’s degree or more education. The difference is even bigger among those aged 16-24. The jobless rate for those with only a high school diploma in that age group is about 20%. At the same time, recent research by Canadian economists warns that a college degree is no guarantee of promising employment.

　　Ms. Sawhill pointed out that among the aspects that affect the value of a college education is the field of one’s major: students in engineering or other sciences end up earning more than those who major in the arts or education. The cost of tuition and the availability of financial aid are other considerations, with public institutions generally a better financial bargain than private ones.

　　She suggested two ways of improving the situation: increasing vocational-technical(职业技能) training programs and taking a page from Europe’s focus on early education rather than post-secondary learning. “The European countries put a little more attention to getting people prepared in the primary grades,” she said. “Then they have a higher requirement for whoever goes to college—but once you get into college, you’re more likely to be highly subsidized(资助).”

　　She also is a supporter of technical training—to teach students how to be workers, such as plumbers, welders and computer programmers—because “employers are desperate” for workers with these skills.

　　32. People usually think that _____.

　　A. the cost of technical schooling is a problem

　　B. one will not succeed without a college degree

　　C. technical skills are most important for landing a job

　　D. there is an increased competition in getting into a college

　　33. What does the underlined part “taking a page from” mean?

　　A. hearing from.

　　B. changing from. C. differing from.

　　D. learning from.

　　34. What can we infer from the passage?

　　A. Public institutions charge more for education.

　　B. European universities are stricter with students.

　　C. Students with certain skills are in great demand. D. Canadian students prefer to major in engineering.

　　35. Which would be the best title for the text?

　　A. Is the ‘Go to College’ message overdone?

　　B. The new requirement of Labor Market

　　C. Primary education in European countries

　　D. Is technical training more popular?

　　Encouraging Positive Relationships

　　Choosing one’s friends is an important part of growing up. And although you can’t choose your children’s friends, you can have a positive influence on the relationships they make throughout their formative years. Use the following strategies to help your children to build positive relationships with their friends.

　　● Encourage diversity.

　　36

　　In addition to exposing your kids to more diversity, it will also help them learn more about themselves.

　　● Avoid criticism. Avoid criticizing friendships, but be honest with your kids when you’re concerned.

　　37

　　This may make them defensive and less receptive to what you have to say. Do be open and willing to listen to what they have to say, and talk about what makes you nervous.

　　●

　　38

　　If you feel that one of your child’s friends is having a negative influence on him, invite that friend to spend time with you and your child together so that you can have a positive influence on the relationship.

　　● Engage in community service. Engage your family in service and volunteering (or join a social group) through a local church, school, or other nonprofit organization.

　　39

　　●

　　40

　　When talking about a friend who has a negative influence on your child, focus your comments on that friend’s behaviors, not on her personality. For example, instead of calling your child’s friend irresponsible for smoking, you could point out that the behavior has a negative effect on her health and recommend ways for your child to help her quit.

　　A. Offer advice.

　　B. Get involved.

　　C. Don’t condemn (谴责) your child’s friends.

　　D. Help your kids find the group that they fit with.

　　E. These events can be great places to meet new friends.

　　F. It’s important to develop positive relationships with family members as well.

　　第一节 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）Long before, there was a large mountainside, where rested an eagle’s nest with four large eagle eggs. One day

　　61

　　earthquake rocked the mountain, causing one of the eggs to roll down the mountain to a chicken farm

　　62

　　(locate) in the valley below. The chickens were kind enough to care for the eagle’s egg, and an old hen volunteered to nurture (哺育) and raise the large egg.

　　One day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. Sadly,

　　63

　　, the eagle was raised to be a chicken. Soon, the eagle believed he was nothing more

　　64

　　a chicken. The eagle loved his present family, but his spirit cried out

　　65

　　more. While playing on the farm one day, the eagle happened to notice a group of mighty eagles soaring in the skies. “Oh,” the eagle cried, “I wish I could soar like those birds.”

　　The chickens roared with

　　66

　　(laugh), “You cannot soar with those birds. You are a chicken and chickens do not soar.”

　　The eagle continued staring at his real family up above,

　　67

　　(dream) that he could be with them. Each time the eagle would let his dreams

　　68

　　(know), he was told it couldn’t be done. That is

　　69

　　the eagle learned to believe. The eagle, after time, stopped dreaming and continued to live like a chicken. Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the eagle passed away.

　　You become what you believe you are. So, if you ever dream of becoming an eagle, follow

　　70

　　dreams... not the words of a chicken.

　　When my parents got home, I asked that I could keep the dog. To my surprised and joy, they agreed. Up to now, he has become member of our family and everyone had enjoyed his company.
