You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931,Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren't for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O'Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the US Supreme Court. O'Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.

Elmer Alvarez was a homeless man when he found a $10K check in New Haven, Connecticut. Instead of cashing it in for himself, he looked for its rightful owner.
The owner of the large check was a real estate (房地产) agent named Roberta Hoskie. She was on a busy schedule doing business around town when her check slipped away in a busy crossing. She didn't realize she lost it until the next day.
They settled the day they met to hand over the check. Elmer came with a friend. It turned out he couldn't speak English that well and asked for the help of a stranger to translate what he wanted to do. Roberta also found something about Elmer that shocked her—Elmer was homeless.
And since Roberta is in the real estate business, she realized she could send Elmer to the real estate school to be a part of her company. Not only that, but she also rewarded him with an apartment and paid seven months' worth of rent to help him get back on his feet. Roberta's heart was drawn to Elmer's story because it reminded her of her own past.
She once lived in a shelter, as a single mom with only around $400 to raise her son—until one day, someone blessed her with a job that led her to her success right now. Her experience of being homeless reminded her that she could be a blessing to someone and change their life, too. A year after they met, Roberta and Elmer started Outreach Foundation, a transitional home for homeless teenagers, providing support like church services, substance abuse awareness, and education. Elmer's honesty is something that should be applauded. And in the end, he went from not having a roof over his head, to being capable of lending a hand to others who are really in need.

The elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people's wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.”
“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they've gone to bed.”
“It's good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I'm enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.
Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark__on the project, said: “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”

Roughly the size of a soda can, sitting on a bookshelf, a relatively harmless gadget may be turning friends away from your home. The elephant in your living room is your Internet connected security camera, a device people are increasingly using for peace of mind in their homes. But few stop to think about the effect these devices may have on house guests. Should you tell your friends, for instance, that they're being recorded while you all watch the big game together?
“It's certainly new territory, especially as home security cameras become easier to install.” says Lizzie Post, president of the Emily Post Institute, America's foremost manners advisors. “I think it will be very interesting to see what etiquette emerges in terms of whether you tell people you have a camera or not, and whether guests have a right to ask that it be turned off, if it's not a security issue.”
Post wants to make clear that she's not talking about legal rights, but rather personal preferences. She also wants to explain that there are no right or wrong answers regarding manners on this front yet, because the technology is just now becoming mainstream. Besides, the Emily Post Institute doesn't dictate manners.
When it comes to security cameras, Post says it's a host's responsibility to make sure guests feel comfortable within their home. “I'm always a fan of being open and honest. For instance, if the host casually acknowledges that there is a camera in the room by telling a story about it, that may be enough to provide an opening for a guest to say if they are uncomfortable.”
However, if a contractor is working in your home, you don't need to tell them that there are cameras watching. Then again, the air of accountability that the camera generates can also work in contractors' favor. “If anything does go wrong while they're in the house, they don't want to be blamed for it,” she says. In fact, the camera could be the thing that proves that they didn't steal the $20, or knock the vase off the table.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了是否应该告诉你的朋友你的家里安装了安全摄像头,以及它对来你家的客人的利弊。
32.For what reason may your friends feel reluctant to visit your home?
A.The security camera installed may intrude into their privacy.
B.They don't want their photos to be circulated on the Internet.
C.The security camera may turn out to be harmful to their health.
D.They may not be willing to interact with your family members.
答案:A 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Roughly the size ... turning friends away from your home.(大约一个汽水罐大小,放在书架上,一个相对无害的小玩意可能会让朋友远离你的家。)”可知,你的朋友会因为你家安装的安全摄像头导致他们的隐私遭到侵犯,而不愿意去你家。故选A。
33.What is Lizzie Post mainly discussing with regard to the use of home security cameras?
A.Legal rights.
B.Moral issues.
C.Likes and dislikes of individuals.
D.The possible impact on manners.
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Post wants to make clear ... but rather personal preferences. (Post想要表明她说的不是合法权利,而是个人偏好。)”可知,Lizzie Post(莉齐·波斯特)主要讨论是否喜欢朋友家所使用的安全摄像头。故选C。
34.According to Lizzie Post, a host's responsibility regarding security cameras is ________.
A.making their guests feel at ease
B.indicating where they are
C.turning them off in time
D.ensuring their guests' privacy
答案:A 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“When it comes to security cameras ... feel comfortable within their home.(当说到安全摄像头时,Post说主人有责任确保客人在家里感到舒适。)”可知,Lizzie Post认为主人有责任让待在他家里的客人感到自在。故选A。
35.In what way can the home security camera benefit visitors to your home?
A.It can satisfy their curiosity.
B.It can prove their innocence.
C.It can help them learn new technology.
D.It can make their visit more enjoyable.
答案:B 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“In fact, the camera ... knock the vase off the table.(事实上,安全摄像头可能能够证明他们没有偷那20美元,或者证明他们也没有打碎桌子上的花瓶。)”可推知,安全摄像头可以帮助证明客人的清白。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Michael Leviton grew up with a strict code of honesty—where truth meant not just avoiding lies. His family believed that it was important to reveal what was on your mind. If someone asked, “How are you?” the moral response was to say exactly how you were feeling and not brush the question off with a “fine” or “good”. __36__.
The consequences of that kind of honesty, however, were often complicated outside the family home.
In elementary school, teachers didn't know how to respond to him, Leviton recalled. They'd call him brave for not crying after a fall, but Leviton would accuse them of lying. “Usually, I found teachers would flee (迅速离开),” said Leviton. “There was no script for how to talk to a five-year-old who refuses to let them say he's brave.” __37__. Leviton would accuse his teachers of unfairly targeting black kids, but those same kids, while grateful he defended them, found his bluntness (直率) awkward.
__38__. If a potential employer asked him about his flaws, Leviton would spare no detail. He was incapable of creating a flattering (讨人喜欢的) portrayal of himself. “I'd be like, ‘I'm trying to get my first job here. I don't know what I'm gonna be doing in five years,’” he recalled. “They would just be like, ‘Okay! All right. Next question.’”
Gradually, Leviton came to realize that constantly revealing his true feelings could have negative impacts. __39__. He began to reply “fine” when people asked him how he was doing. When he got into arguments, instead of asking for an apology, he'd try to pretend it didn't happen. “I had to just shut up about certain things and be nice and positive and grateful, even if I didn't feel that way.” __40__—with just a bit of polite lying and better timing with the truth.
A.Today Leviton said that his life is better
B.Other children also found him hard to be around
C.This would happen multiple times within the same week
D.Pretending you were happy when you weren't was a kind of lie
E.As an adult, Leviton's complete honesty could ruin job interviews
F.He wanted someone honest and found his way of thinking refreshing
G.He sought to become a little less honest and learn to hide his feelings
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Michael Leviton(迈克尔·莱维顿)生长在一个对于诚实有着严格要求的家庭,导致他在小学时和工作的时候遇到了一些麻烦,渐渐地,他也变成了一个会说“礼貌性的谎言”的人。
36.D 根据设空前(他的家人认为说出你的真实想法很重要。如果有人问你“你感觉如何?”,正确的回答就是说出你的真实感觉,而不是只用“不错”或者“很好”来敷衍这个问题。)可知,设空前讲述了他的家人对于诚实的要求很严格,就连别人随便的一句问候,都应如实回答, D项中的“Pretending you were happy”与设空前的问题“How are you?”相呼应,即使假装你很高兴也是撒谎,故选D。
37.B 根据设空后(Leviton会指控他的老师不公平地对待黑人小孩,但是这些小孩尽管会因为他为他们辩护而感激他,但是他们同样也会因他的直率而感到难堪。)可知,设空后举例说明同学有时会因为他的直率而感到不舒适,故B项(其他孩子也发现很难与他在一起交朋友)引出后文,故选B。
38.E 根据设空后(如果一个潜在的老板问他关于他的缺点,他也会细细道来。)可知,E项(作为成年人,Leviton的彻底诚实可能会毁掉面试)引出后文,故选E。
39.G 根据设空前(渐渐地,Leviton开始意识到,表达出自己的真实感受可能会带来消极影响。)及设空后(当人们问他感觉如何时,他开始回复“不错”了。)可知,G项承前启后,故选G。
40.A 根据前文可知,Leviton现在不再时刻说真话,而是需要说的时候就说,不需要的时候就礼貌性地回复一下,A项(现在,Leviton说他的生活变得更好一些了)放在全文末尾,总结前文Leviton这么做的结果,故选A。

I smiled and thanked her for her gift as she skipped happily away. In that instant the little girl had completed a part of her __53__ here on Earth. In that second she had completed a moment of her mission. The __54__ is that every single thing we do is a part of our purpose here. Every single thing we do is a part of our __55__. May all your days then be full of life, learning, and love.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Gently removing the upper and lower layers of the hardwood cover, Yang Liqun takes out a sheet of paper that __56__ (repair). The gap in the ancient manuscript has been filled __57__ its former softness restored.
Yang, a 64-year-old restorer from the Yunnan Ancient Books Preservation Center, launched a project to salvage (抢救) the __58__ (severe) damaged five ancient brochures of Cham, the creation epic of the Yi ethnic group. Yang says the restored books should regain their __59__ (origin) appearance, and the restoration process should be reversible (可逆的), meaning any repair materials can be removed easily if necessary.
__60__ (base) on the specific condition of the damaged parts, restorers will come up with an appropriate plan on __61__ case-by-case basis and repair them through patching, uncurling, reshaping pages and binding.
Books __62__ (belong) to different ethnic groups served different functions and thus __63__ (store) in various conditions, which presented restorers with a range of challenges. As they were used for worship, Yi documents are often burned or greasy (沾油脂的), __64__ the pages of ancient Tibetan books have become stuck together due to __65__ (humid). Yang recalled his salvage of the Nagela Cave Tibetan Scripture, an ancient classic of Lamaism. “Mixed with mud, the pages were so messed up that we began with a solid ‘brick’.” he says.
56.______ 57.______ 58.______ 59.______
60.______ 61.______ 62.______ 63.______
64.______ 65.______
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了修复古代书籍的方法。
56.has been repaired 考查动词的时态和语态。句意:轻轻揭去上下两层硬木盖板,杨立群拿出一张已经修好的纸。根据上文“takes out”可知,杨立群拿出的纸张是已经修复好的,所以用现在完成时;主语为a sheet of paper,为单数,和动词repair为被动关系,应用被动语态。故填has been repaired。
57.with 考查介词。be filled with “被……填补”。故填with。
58.severely 考查词性转换。句意:64岁的杨立群是云南古籍保护中心的修复师,他发起了一项工程,抢救5本严重受损的彝族创作史诗古籍。修饰动词damage,应用副词。故填severely。
59.original 考查词性转换。句意:杨立群说,修复后的书籍应该恢复原来的外观,修复过程应该是可逆的,这意味着如果需要,任何修复材料都可以很容易地移除。根据设空后的“appearance”可知,设空处应用形容词,修饰名词appearance。故填original。
60.Based 考查非谓语动词。句意:修复人员会根据受损部位的具体情况,制定合适的方案,通过修补、解卷、改页、装订等方式进行修复。based on “以……为依据,在……的基础上”。故填Based。
61.a 考查冠词。on a basis “以……为基础”。故填a。
62.belonging 考查非谓语动词。句意:不同民族的书籍具有不同的功能,因而保存在不同的条件下,这给修复者带来了一系列的挑战。名词books与belong存在主动关系,应用现在分词作定语。故填belonging。
63.were stored 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据served可知,应用一般过去时,主语books为复数,且与store为被动关系。故填were stored。
64.while 考查连词。句意:彝族文献因用于祭祀,常被烧毁或沾满油脂,而藏族古籍则因潮湿而粘在一起。句中是两种情况进行比较,用连词while,表示“然而”。故填while。
65.humidity 考查词性转换。根据设空前的介词短语due to可知,设空处应用名词。故填humidity。

If a patient is suffering an incurable illness, should he or she be informed of the truth? Today our class have a discussion about it.
Some students who are against it insist that the patients should be informed of the truth of their illness, so that they can make proper decision according to their health. Contrary to the above belief, some students hold the view that a white lie isn't acceptable. They worry that once told about their condition, patients may lose their hope, which will make the situation worse.
In my view, whether people should tell a white lie or not depends on what kind of person the patient is. If the patient has a strong will to live and a positive attitude, telling them the truth will be helpful to the treatment. But if the patient is the opposite, we had better not do so.

Honesty Carries Kindness
By morning, Fred knew what he had to do. He had not slept a wink but had sat in the corridor all night thinking. He stretched his body and went back to his room. His brother Gray was still asleep.
It was Saturday and there was no school. Fred's mother asked him to do some shopping for her. On his way out, he glanced at his motorcycle which was parked at the side of the house. There was no hiding the broken front lamp and the dent (凹痕) and scratches (刮痕) on the side of the motorcycle. Fred took a deep breath and went to complete his shopping.
It was late morning before Fred was free to carry out his plan. He marched down the road to Mr Green's house. When he arrived and called out the usual greeting, Mrs Green appeared at the doorway and greeted him warmly. She invited him in and served him tea and some cakes. Fred nervously asked to speak to Mr Green. She told him that her husband was out but would be home very soon. Sure enough, the elderly man returned in ten minutes.
Fred cleared his throat a few times while his host waited patiently. Finally, he started to talk, admitting that he had come to take responsibility. “I'm so sorry. I was careless yesterday and knocked into your parked car in front of the post office,” said Fred.
Mr Green looked at the 17-year-old youth, surprised. “So, you are saying that you dented my car and then ran away?”
Fred went red. He nodded. “I'm sorry for not telling you earlier. I was too frightened.”
The elderly man smiled and said, “but you're not too frightened to acknowledge the mistake now?” Fred said with uncertainty, “I could not sleep last night thinking about it. I knew I had to do the right thing.”
Mr Green was silent for a minute before saying in a kind voice, “you think that it is the right thing to cover up for your brother?”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Fred went pale, his eyes wandering.
Fred thanked Mr Green for his kindness and what he had taught him.
写前导读:本文是一篇记叙文。Fred(弗莱德)误以为他的兄弟Gray(格雷)撞到别人的车没有负责,决定替Gray去承担,但发现车主Mr Green(格林先生)却已经知道真相。Green是怎样知道真相的,他选择怎么做?Fred知道真相后是什么感受?
[精彩范文]
Fred went pale, his eyes wandering. “You know the truth?” he whispered. Mr Green smiled, “Yes, your brother told me himself just now.” The elderly man explained that Gray had told him everything. Fred looked sincerely at him, “Will my brother be arrested?” Mr Green denied. Seeing Fred's relieved expression, he went on, “I know you are trying to protect your brother. However, I hope your brother will learn from this. As for you, remember that it is unwise to hide the truth.”
Fred thanked Mr Green for his kindness and what he had taught him. Taking a load off his mind, he set off home lightheartedly and joyfully. He was delighted the truth was known and no one was to blame. His brother's courage in making a clean breast of everything made him happy and proud. He also realized that it's not appropriate to hide the truth, which might not protect his younger brother but harm him instead. Staring at the clear sky, he knew he could look forward to a good night's sleep.
