　　第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　A 难度：★★

　　I often show my middle school students inspiring videos to start their day. I never know which ones will make a huge impact, but I know they always reach some level to the kids. I recently showed my students the video, where the resounding(响亮的) message was “I am enough.”

　　When the video about helping the needy was over, I went around our circle and had each student say out loud, “I am enough.” It was amazing to see their backs straighten and their faces brighten as they said the message.

　　A friend of mine also watched the video, and felt moved. He was so moved that I went to my mailbox and discovered a beautiful ring stamped with “I am enough.” My eyes were instantly filled with tears because it was such a gift of kindness he gave me. I recognized how this simple video was rippling(起涟漪). The following day, I shared the story of my gift with my class, and they were just as moved as I was. I thought the ripples would never end.

　　The following day I was leaving my classroom, and I noticed my warm-up white board had been changed. Instead of the instructions I had for the following morning, one of my students had written on it, “I am enough. You are enough.” I loved the addition of “You are enough.” because it showed me they were not only thinking about their value but the value of others. How beautiful was that? Did the ripples end there? Of course not. The next morning I received an email from one of the parents in my classroom. She told me she found her daughter had drawn a picture of hearts and the words, “I am enough. You are enough.” surrounding those. I couldn’t believe this simple saying was reaching so deeply and so far.

　　We never know the ripples we will set off when we simply reach out to others. In the case of my inspiring middle students, enough was more than enough.

　　1. What was the video including the message “I am enough.” about?

　　A. School life.

　　B. Helping others.

　　C. Teaching students.

　　D. The interaction between school and parents.

　　2. Why did tears come to the author’s eyes?

　　A. She was moved by the effect of the video.

　　B. She thought her friend was her real friend.

　　C. She received a valuable gift from her friend.

　　D. She was moved by the change of her students.

　　3. What is the white board in the classroom used to do usually?

　　A. To publish some articles.

　　B. To be used as the blackboard.

　　C. To give students instructions.

　　D. To let students give opinions.

　　B 难度：★★★

　　When David Rosenman took his 9-year-old daughter to breakfast at a coffee shop, they each were armed with an activity — he had his newspaper, and she planned to crochet(用钩针编织). But then she suggested a transmutation to their routine.

　　“Daddy, can you not read the paper or check email today? Can we just be together?” she asked.

　　Rosenman went on to detail the bonding time that followed.

　　“She showed me her yarn(纱线) project. I recalled the day she was born. We compared notes about whether or not couples at other tables were on ‘dates’. She told me about her friends and their hamsters(仓鼠). I watched her chew her breakfast sandwich and melted a little bit as I thought about how much I love her.” Rosenman wrote on Facebook.

　　When they were getting ready to leave, Rosenman walked to the counter to order a snack to bring home to his son, and returned to find a mysterious note that a woman had left with his daughter.

　　?I work at a school where many daughters don’t have fathers and those who do have never in their lives had him watch, listen, and devote 100% of his attention to her for as long as you did. You have no idea what a gift you are giving to all of the teachers who are responsible for educating them from now until they graduate,” the letter read.

　　Rosenman shared an image of the note on Facebook, hoping that his experience would encourage other parents to be more concerned about their own kids.

　　“Please don’t wait for your child or other loved ones to plead(恳求) for your attention — he or she might not,” he wrote. 揈xpect that no one will leave a note for you ?such beauty in this world is far too rare.?

　　a He also advised, “Choose to be present today — even for just a little while — for your kids. If you see it happen somewhere, consider leaving a note — it sure does leave an impression.”

　　4. The underlined word “transmutation” can be replaced by “____”.

　　A. guide

　　B. change

　　6. The woman, a stranger, wrote the note mainly to ____.

　　B. thank the father for setting a good example

　　C. hope the father would care for more children

　　D. tell their teachers didn’t care for the students

　　7. Rosenman wrote in the Facebook post mainly to ____.

　　A. tell that he got along well with his daughter

　　B. thank for the woman’s care for his daughter

　　C. want parents to care about children in time

　　D. let more know what he did to his daughter

　　C 难度：★★★★

　　People size you up in seconds, but what exactly are they evaluating(评价)? Harvard Business School professor Amy Cuddy has been studying first impressions alongside fellow psychologists Susan Fiske and Peter Glick for more than 15 years, and has discovered patterns in these interactions(互动). In her new book, “Presence”, Cuddy says people quickly answer two questions when they first meet you: Can I trust this person? Can I respect this person?

　　Psychologists refer to these factors as warmth and competence(胜任) respectively, and ideally you want to be considered as having both. Interestingly, Cuddy says that most people, especially in a professional environment, believe that competence is the foremost factor. After all, they want to prove that they are smart and talented enough to qualify your business.

　　But in fact warmth, or trustworthiness, is the most important factor in how people evaluate you. “From an evolutionary view,” Cuddy says, “it is more important to our survival to know whether a person deserves our trust.” It makes sense when you consider that in cavemen days it was more important to figure out if your fellow man was going to kill you and steal all your possessions than if he was competent enough to build a good fire.

　　Cuddy抯 new book explores how to feel more confident. While competence is highly valued, Cuddy says it is evaluated only after trust is established. And focusing too much on displaying your strength can backfire( 产生事与愿违的不良后果). Cuddy says MBA interns(实习生) are often so concerned about coming across as smart and competent that it can lead them to skip social events, not ask for help, and generally come off as unapproachable.

　　These overachievers are in for a rude awakening when they don’t get the job offer because nobody got to know and trust them as people. “If someone you’re trying to influence doesn’t trust you, you’re not going to get very far; in fact, you might even cause doubt because you come across as manipulative(会摆布人的),” Cuddy says. “A warm, trustworthy person who is also competent gains admiration, but only after you’ve established trust does your strength become a gift rather than a threat.”

　　8. What does the passage mainly tell about?

　　A. People judge you on your look and mind at first sight.

　　B. People judge you on your presence at first sight.

　　C. People judge you on your interaction at first sight.

　　D. People judge you on your warmth and competence initially.

　　9. The underlined word “foremost” can be replaced by ____.

　　A. very valuable

　　B. changing

　　C. extremely important

　　D. accessible

　　10. Why does Cuddy refer to cavemen days?

　　A. To stress the importance of survival.

　　B. To show the hardship of ancient times.

　　C. To stress the importance of trust.

　　D. To tell us the importance of ability.

　　11. According to the passage, Amy Cuddy ____.

　　A. thinks highly of confidence

　　B. lays trust on the basic position

　　C. has a negative attitude to overachievers

　　D. says people who want to influence others are approachable

　　D 难度：★★★

　　It’s been a busy morning for Cletus, Meynard, Victoria and others of their furry band. They’ve sniffed their way across 775 square meters of fields to remove the danger that has killed thousands of Cambodians: land mines(地雷). Meet the Hero Rats: intelligent, surprisingly cute creatures with some of the most sensitive noses in the animal kingdom. Sent from Africa, where they successfully cleared minefields in Mozambique and Angola, they began the same task in northwestern Cambodia early this month and have already scored good results.

　　20,000 square meters has been declared mine-free around this village where more than 15 people have been killed or wounded by the explosives, forcing some to abandon their homes and rice fields and seek jobs elsewhere. One villager, Khun Mao, says the rats have been sniffing for suspected mines in a rice field he had been afraid to plant for years. He says, “While it is too soon to say whether the rodents(啮齿动物) can remove every mine. To me, these rats are wonderful.” “The villagers have started to get excited about farming their land again. You can see the light on their faces,” says Paul McCarthy, Cambodia program manager for the Belgian nonprofit organization APOPO.

　　Two-year-old Victoria proved particularly swift — “very active,” one team member calls her. At another field, Merry and Meynard were completing three hours of effort as a midday sun beat down on the earth. The pair had earlier nosed around on an explosive, stopping moving just above it and scratching the ground — the learned response when a rodent detects TNT(黄色炸药) inside a land mine. Unlike standard mine detectors, the super-sniffers pick up only TNT and not other metal objects. And unlike wage-earning humans, the rats work for peanuts — and their other favorite, bananas. Theap Bunthourn, a member of the 34-member team, tells other advantages of using rats: They are cheaper to acquire and train than mine-sniffing dogs and easier to transport.

　　12. Some villagers have to leave their homes because they ____.

　　A. are afraid of land mines

　　B. want to find well-paid jobs

　　C. are tired of working on farms

　　D. don’t like the village any more

　　13. What’s Paul McCarthy’s attitude towards the super-sniffers?

　　A. Doubtful.

　　B. Opposed.

　　C. Indifferent.

　　D. Confident.

　　14. What will rats do when they find land mines?

　　A. They will stop and rub their feet against the ground.

　　B. They will head for safety as quickly as possible.

　　C. They will ask their owners for peanuts or bananas.

　　D. They will dig up the land mines all by themselves.

　　15. What’s the main idea of the passage?

　　A. Rats will replace mine detectors in future.

　　B. How can rats be trained to sniff minefields?

　　C. The hero rats sniff out Combodia’s minefields.

　　D. Land mines have killed many people in Combodia.

　　. If they lower their eyes and become silent, they are uncomfortable with something you have said.

　　It will take several meetings for your Czech business associates to become familiar with you and appear comfortable and friendly.
