William Cary said he has learned to appreciate small victories with his 17-year-old son Ben, who has autism and doesn’t speak, so he choked up while describing how proud he was when Ben buttoned his pants for the very first time after going to the bathroom. But one victory that Ben achieved long ago was surfing. Since the age of six, he has been participating in Surfers Healing surf camps for children with autism.
The annual event returned recently to Tourmaline Surf Park in California. More than 150 children took turns riding the waves with 15 professional surfers as well as a small group of volunteers. Ben could hardly wait to get in the water with surfer Graham. Within minutes of hitting the sand, Ben mounted a long board (冲浪板) and Graham gently pushed him out into the thigh-high surf. Graham, who has an 11-year-old son with autism, said he’s seen firsthand how children immediately transform when they’re rolling in the ocean waves.
Surfers Healing was started 20 years ago by surfer Izzy Paskowitz and his wife, Danielle. One day while in Hawaii, their son Isaiah had a meltdown (情绪失控) on the beach and Izzy tried to distract the boy by tossing him into the waves. Suddenly, the boy’s anger was replaced by smiles and wonder, and Surfers Healing was born. Each year, the foundation hosts 25 camps around the world serving more than 5,000 autistic children, ranging in age from 3 to 25. About half of the group participating recently was new to the sport.
Paskowitz said the ocean has a healing power on people with autism. The rhythm of the waves calms them, and the sounds, sights, textures and temperatures create such a sensory overload (负荷) that it forces the mind to focus. Many of the children arriving at the beach initially covered their ears from the crash of the waves, but gradually these sensitivities disappeared. One teen camper who traveled with her mom from Arizona wouldn’t get out of the car for more than an hour. Finally, she was coaxed (哄骗) to take a brief ten-minute ride in the knee-high waves on a body board. As she returned to shore, a volunteer awarded her a small trophy for participation.
1.What was most probably the reason why Cary choked up
A. He was proud that his son was a good surfer.
B. He achieved a small victory.
C. He took pride in his autistic son learning to take care of himself.
D. He was too surprised to see his autistic son button his own pants.
2.Which of the following statements is true
A. Ben has suffered from autism since he was six.
B. Around 150 people took part in the recent surfing event in Tourmaline Surf Park.
C. Autistic people usually range in age from 3 to 25.
D. Surfing is so stimulating to our senses that it forces autistic children to focus.
3.How did Surfers Healing come into being
A. It was initiated 20 years ago by a foundation.
B. A boy went crazy on the beach of Hawaii two decades ago.
C. Surfer Izzy Paskowitz and his wife realized the healing effects of surfing 20 years ago.
D. Surfer Izzy Paskowitz’s son was cured of autism by surfing two decades ago.
4.What is the best title for the passage
A. From Chaos to Peace B. Surfing Washes Away Autism Symptoms
C. The Surfers’ Club D. Transforming Powers of Surfing
“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said each time I faced disappointment or even depression. “If you carry on, one day, something good will happen. And you’ll realize that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”
Mother was right, but I didn’t realize that until I graduated from college in 1932. I had decided to try for a job in radio and then work my way up to be a sports announcer. I hitchhiked (搭顺风车) to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station — and got turned down every time. In one studio, a kind lady told me that in most cases, big stations couldn’t risk hiring an inexperienced person. “Go out in the remote areas and find a small station that’ll give you a chance,” she said. I went back home to Dixon, Illinois.
While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I applied. The job sounded just right for me.
But I wasn’t hired. My disappointment must have shown. “Everything happens for the best.” Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to hunt for jobs. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, my frustration boiled over. I asked aloud, “How can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station” I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling, “What was that you said about sports Do you know anything about football” Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. The preceding autumn, my team had won a game in the last 20 seconds with a 65-yard run. I did a 15-minute boost to that play, and Peter told me I would be broadcasting Saturday’s game!
On my way home, as I have had many times since, I thought of my mother’s words, “If you carry on, one day, something good will happen. It wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”

Analogical ability — the ability to see common relations between objects, events or ideas — is a key skill that underlies human intelligence and differentiates humans from other apes.
While there is considerable evidence that preschoolers can learn abstract relations, it remains an open question whether infants (婴儿) can as well. In a new Northwestern University study, researchers found that infants are capable of learning the abstract relations of sameness and difference after only a few examples.
“This suggests that a skill key to human intelligence is present very early in human development and that language skills are not necessary for learning abstract relations,” said lead author Alissa Ferry, who conducted the research at Northwestern.
To trace the origins of relational thinking in infants, the researchers tested whether seven- month-old infants could understand the simplest and most basic abstract relation — that of sameness and difference between two things. Infants were shown pairs of items that were either the same — two Elmo dolls — or different — an Elmo doll and a toy camel — until their looking time declined.
In the test process, the infants looked longer at pairs showing the novel (新奇的) relation, even when the test pairs were composed of new objects. In other words, infants who had learned the same relation looked longer at test pairs showing the different relation during the test. This suggests that the infants had noticed the abstract relation and found when the relation changed.
“We found that infants are capable of learning these relations,” said Ferry, now doing post-doctoral research at the International School for Advanced Studies in Italy. “Additionally, infants exhibit the same patterns of learning as older children and adults — relational learning benefits from seeing multiple examples of the relation and is blocked when attention is drawn to the individual objects composing the relation.”
Susan Hespos, a co-author of the study and associate professor of psychology at Northwestern’s Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, said, “We show that infants can form abstract relations before they learn the words that describe relations, meaning that relational learning in humans does not require language and is a fundamental human skill of its own.”
1.How do the infants show they recognize the sameness or difference between two things
A. By looking at the difference longer.
B. By describing the difference happily.
C. By smiling at the difference.
D. By crying at the difference loudly.
2.What does the underlined word “fundamental” (in the last paragraph) mean
A. Basic. B. Evident. C. Useful. D. Complicated.
3.What can we infer from the passage
A. Apes have analogical ability.
B. Infants have difficulty gaining analogical ability.
C. Scientists have done little research on analogical ability.
D. Infants learn words later than analogical ability.
4.What is the passage mainly about
A. Evidence on preschoolers’ abstract learning.
B. Infants born with analogical ability.
C. Human skills related to analogical ability.
D. A skill key to human intelligence.
四、七选五
Taking a vacation with friends could turn out to be the getaway of a lifetime or one that’s a total disaster. How do you make sure the trip is a success 1.. Here are some tips on planning a vacation with friends that’s memorable in the right kind of way.
Establish expectations first
You may think that you and a friend have the same idea of a holiday because you both want to go to the beach, but you might be interested in relaxing while your friend is looking forward to going to nightclubs. 2. or you are setting yourself up for conflict.
Have an itinerary (旅行路线)
When traveling with others, set an agenda ahead of time to avoid any last-minute, tense negotiation. Either work with a travel adviser to create the itinerary or delegate (委派) one person in the group for the job — it should show when activities start, and how long and what exactly they are. 3..
Build in some space
You don’t have to spend all your time with your friend. 4.. Order room service for breakfast one day or plan other meals and a few tours for just you and your family. But it’s best to schedule these ahead of time — not when you feel that you cannot spend another minute together.
5.
Deciding who is paying for what and how it will be tracked should be discussed before your trip. You can end up with one person who doesn’t drink feeling angry that they are splitting the bills with people who order expensive bottles of wine, and this is the kind of anger that can destroy a friendship.
A. Choose the ways to treat friends
B. Figure out money matters first
C. Make sure you understand each other’s ideas of vacation
D. In fact, taking breaks makes your time together more enjoyable
E. Different ways to parent may not matter at home but can be obvious on vacations
F. It’s all about choosing the right travel partners and going in with some ground rules
G. And everything should be optional, so whoever isn’t interested doesn’t have to join
五、完形填空
It used to be an American tradition: as soon as school let out for the summer, many teens ______ their fast food uniform or grocery store apron and went to ______ at a summer job. But the ______ that seemed routine for people of the ______ is becoming a rarity.
When Pew ______ the average employment rates of ______ during summer months between 1948 and 20xx, it found that the number of teens who do summer jobs has ______ in recent decades. In 1974 and 1984, over 55 percent of teens between the ages of 16 and 19 held jobs during July. ______ that number fell to just below 45 percent in 20xx — and by 20xx, things were even ______, with only 31.6 percent of teens ______ during the summer.
Pew notes that the ______ a teen is, the less likely he is to ______ a job. Last summer, 20 percent of 16-and 17-year-olds had jobs and 43.6 percent of 18-and 19-year-olds were employed.
Why aren’t kids ______ more work It’s tricky. Pew cites falling youth employment over time, but notes that other ______ like early school schedules and the rise of ______ summer internships (实习) might be to blame. And the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not ______ unpaid internships as employment, so all the teens doing internships aren’t being counted in these estimates (估算).
But ______ summer employment doesn’t just mean more time to______ with friends. It can have ______ effects on teens who don’t get a ______ to build their job skills, says Andrew Sum, a youth employment expert. He told the Pew Charitable Trusts’ Christine Vestal that for every year teens work, they can expect a 14 to 16 percent rise in their income during their twenties.

In the kitchen of my mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand（木架）with a small notepad（记事本）and a hole for a pencil.
I’m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother.Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did.Surely it can’t be the same pencil? The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.
“I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these year.” I say to her, walking bank into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil.“You still use a pencil.Can’t you afford a pen?”
My mother replies a little sharply.“It works perfectly well.I’ve always kept the stand in the kitchen.I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days.”
Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently.My mother smiles and says, “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty.One of the children must have taken the paper.So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back.It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”
This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician.I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work.Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards.Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics.Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible（看不到的）exhibits at every meal.

A.To leave messages. B.To list her everyday tasks.
C.To note down maths problems. D.To write down a flash of inspiration.
2.What is the author’s original opinion about the wooden stand?
A.It has great value for the family.
B.It needs to be replaced by a better one.
C.It brings her back to her lonely childhood.D .It should be passed on to the next generation.
3.The author feels embarrassed for_______.
A.blaming her mother wrongly.
B.giving her mother a lot of trouble.
C.not making good use of time as her mother did.

In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events.They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful.Negative events like “serious illness of a family member” were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage.When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress — it only shows how much you have to deal with.And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.
By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe.And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports.Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message.Women’s magazines ran headlines like “Stress causes illness!” If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events.
But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow.Even if stressful events are dangerous, many — like the death of a loved one — are impossible to avoid.Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription (处方) for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble.Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.
The concept that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people.It assumes we’re all vulnerable (脆弱的') and passive in face of tough conditions.But what about human initiative (主动性) and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental strength than they had before.We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and mental strain.
1.The result of Holmes-Rahe’s medical research tells us ________.
A.how to handle major events causes stress
B.what should be carried out to avoid stress

4.Why is “such simplistic advice” (Line 1, Paragraph 3) impossible to follow?
A.People have to get married someday.
B.You could be missing chances as well.

“I promise.” “I swear to you it’ll never happen again.” “I give you my word.” “Honestly.Believe me.” Sure, I trust.Why not? I teach English composition at a private college.With a certain excitement and intensity, I read my students’ essays, hoping to find the person behind the pen.As each semester progresses, plagiarism (剽窃) appears.Not only is my intelligence insulted as one assumes I won’t detect (查明) a polished piece of prose (散文) from an otherwise-average writer, but I feel a sadness that a student has resorted (求助于) to buying a paper from a peer.Writers have styles like fingerprints and after several assignments, I can match a student’s work with his or her name.
Why is learning less important than a higher grade-point average (GPA)(平均成绩点数)? When we’re threatened or sick, we make conditional promises.“If you let me pass math I will …” “Lord, if you get me over this before the big homecoming game I’ll…” Once the situation is behind us, so are the promises.Human nature? Perhaps, but we do use that cliché (陈词滥调) to get us out of uncomfortable bargains.
Six years ago, I took a student before the dean.He had turned in an essay with the vocabulary and sentence structure of PhD thesis (博士毕业论文).Up until that time, both his out-of-class and in-class work were borderline passing.
I questioned the person regarding his essay and he swore that it was the consequence of his hardwork, but he had already had a given sheet of paper so he understood what was asked.He sat one hour, then turned in part of a page of unskilled writing and faulty logic.I confronted him with both the essays.“I promise…, I’m not lying.I swear to you that I wrote the essay.I’m just nervous today.”
The head of the English department agreed with my finding, and the meeting with the dean had the boy’s parents present.After an hour of discussion, touching on eight of the boy’s previous essays and his grade-point average, which indicated he was already on academic probation (留校察看), the dean agreed that the student had plagiarized (剽窃).His parents protested, “He’s only a child” and we instructors were wiser and should be compassionate (有同情心的).College people are not really children and most times would resent being labeled as such… except in this uncomfortable circumstance.
1.According to the author, students commit plagiarism mainly for ________.
A.moneyB.degree
C.higher GPAD.reputation
2.The sentence “Once the situation is behind us, so are the promises” implies that ________.
A.students usually keep their promises
B.some students tend to break their promises
C.the promises are always behind the situation
D.we cannot judge the situation in advance
3.The “borderline passing” (Line 3,Para.3) probably means ________.
A.excellentB.extremely poor
C.above averageD.not very good
4.The boy’s parents thought their son should be excused mainly because ________.
A.teachers should be compassionateB.instructors were wiser
C.he was only a childD.he was threatened
5.Which of the following might serve as the title of this passage?
A.Human NatureB.Conditional Promises
C.How to Detect CheatingD.The Sadness of Plagiarism
四、阅读表达
The world is moving so fast these days that if you do not have the right education, you could get left behind.Technology touches every part of our daily lives—even the fast food industry relies on computer assisted systems to speed things to their customers.If you cannot figure out the computer at your local fast food shop, where will that leave you?
Once upon a time, you could have a good life with nothing more than a high school diploma, but those times are gone now.Competition for even the lowest level jobs is fierce, and most employers will give the edge to that extra education now.Jobs that never required a degree before now will certainly be given to the most educated candidate as markets grow tighter and tighter.
Education is not only important on the job front, however.Recent studies show that continually learning will keep your brain more healthy.The more active you keep your brain now, the more active it will remain in the long run.It does make sense if you think about it: if you start jogging, your body feels healthier after a while and will actually long for exercise.The same could probably be said for your brain: make it work to learn something new, and it will continually seek out the stimulation (刺激) of new information to keep itself sharp.
Education is important for your sense of self and self-esteem.If you allow yourself to think that you are poorly educated, you therefore deserve an old car, small house and poor life.Stop feeling sorry for yourself and take charge of your own fate.Realize that you are a different person now and evaluate why you did so poorly in the past.Was it because you just could not learn, or because you did not want to focus on your education at that time? You are an adult now and will be more focused and goal driven.Never say no to education, never say no to yourself.
1.Why does the author mention “the fast food industry” in the first paragraph? (no more than l0 words)
______________________________
2.What does the underlined phrase “give the edge to” mean? (no more than 3 words)
______________________________
3.According to this passage, what should we do to keep our brain acute? (no more than 10 words)
______________________________
4.Who are the suggestions in the last paragraph probably for? (no more than 15 words)
______________________________
5.In your opinion, why is education very important? (no more than 15 words; no less than 10 words)
______________________________

明代文学的一个特色是集团林立，流派纷呈，标新立异，争讼不息。
明代以前，文人的结合往往是具有较多共同特点的作家同声相应、同气相求而成，且围绕着一时的文学大家或权势人物组成一个圈子。明初，先后以文坛三杨（杨士奇、杨溥、杨荣）和李东阳等台阁文人为核心，其他文人也以趣味相投，自相结合，或窗下切磋以攻文，或林下逍遥以娱老，各文人集团之间尚未形成相互攻讦的风气。
成化、弘治以后，统治集团日见腐败，词臣的文柄旁落，逐步由“文章之贵贱操之在上，其权在贤公卿”，转变为“操之在下，其权在自立”的局面，也改变了原来台阁创作追求雍容典雅之风。而城市的发达，也有利于文人相对集中，并
