I was raised in the suburbs of Cleveland, just a few blocks from the brick-faced Bertram Woods branch of the Shaker Heights Public Library system. I went there several times a week with my mother. She and I would walk in together, but as soon as we passed through the door, we each headed towards our favorite sections. The library might have been the first place I was ever given autonomy. Even when I was maybe four or five years old, I was allowed to head off on my own. Then, after a while, my mother and I would reunite at the checkout counter with our finds. Together we’d wait as the librarian pulled out the date card and stamped it with the checkout machine — that giant fist thumping the card with a loud chunk-chunk, printing a crooked due date underneath a score of previous crooked due dates that belonged to other people, other times. Those visits were dreamy, frictionless (没有摩擦的) periods that held the promise of leaving me richer than I’d arrived. It wasn’t like going to a store with my mom, which guaranteed a tug-of-war between what I wanted and what my mother was willing to buy me; in the library, I could have anything I wanted. After we had finished checking out the books, I loved being in the car and having all the books we’d gotten stacked on my lap, pressing me under their solid, warm weight, their Mylar covers sticking a bit to my thighs. It was such a thrill leaving a place with things you hadn’t paid for; such a thrill expecting the new books we would read. On the ride home, my mother and I talked about the order in which we were going to read our books, a serious conversation in which we planned how to pace ourselves through this charmed period of grace until the books were due. When I was older, I usually walked to the library by myself, lugging back as many books as I could carry. Occasionally, I did go with my mother, and the trip would be as engaging as it had been when I was small. Even when I was in my last year of high school and could drive myself to the library, my mother and I still went together every now and then, and the trip unfolded exactly as it had when I was a child, with all the same beats and pauses ‘and comments and daydreaming, the same perfect rhythm we’d followed so many times before. After my mother passed away two years ago, I plunged into a deep shadow of grief for a long time. When I miss my mother these days, I like to picture us in the car together, going for one more magnificent trip to Bertram Woods, during which we talked, laughed — as if she were still in my company, giving me inexhaustible strength. 41. In this passage, the word “autonomy” (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to “________”. A. vitality B. freedom C. inspiration D. entitlement 42. It can be inferred from the second and third paragraphs that ________. A. the author and her mother borrowed books that no other people had ever read before B. the author and her mother were dreaming of going to the library C. the author and her mother would play some games when they were shopping D. the author would fail to buy what she wanted in the store 43. After the author and her mother left the library, ________. A. they would plan to read their newly-borrowed books with feverish enthusiasm B. they would have a serious conversation about which book attracted them the most C. they would be anxious to recommend to each other the books they had borrowed D. they would agree on buying the books they had just borrowed if they enjoyed them 44. How does the author feel when she imagines herself in the car with her mother on the way to the library? A. Grieved. B. Shocked. C. Miserable. D. Comforted. 45. Following the last paragraph of this article, what would the author most likely go on to write about? A. One specific memory of a childhood trip to the library. B. The fond childhood memories of her mother taking good care of her. C How her affection for going to the library has endured into her own motherhood. D. Why her own child made up their mind to become a librarian after finishing college. C Personality used to be a one-per-customer deal: like it or not, you were who you were, and lying to a pen pal was about the closest you could get to have a different ego. That was then. With the appearance of MySpace, Facebook, and other social networking sites, a second, carefully crafted identity is now available to anyone with an Internet connection. And that has psychologists wonder: just how well do these online personalities match the person sitting at the keyboard? The answer, it turns out, is pretty well. In a recent study of 133 undergraduates with Facebook profiles, University of Texas psychologist Samuel D. Gosling measured the correlation between personality tests online and off, and found — contrary to the assumption that social networking sites can’t capture one’s features — that the students represented themselves quite faithfully. Gosling surveyed the group on a standard five-point personality test, which measures extroversion (外向性), agreeableness, sense of responsibility, emotional stability, and openness to new experiences. Then he rated the same subjects based only on their Facebook profiles, which usually included photos and lists of interests, from academic majors to favorite books and movies. Gosling found a correlation between assessments in four of the five categories, with emotional stability as the only one showing no significant results across personal and online assessments. (Gosling says he was not surprised at the latter, since emotional stability is something that people are good at hiding across most media.) While extroversion showed the highest correlation, the study suggests that “openness to new experience” is perhaps better conveyed online than in person. “Facebook users don't tend to put a lot of personal information on their pages,” Gosling says, so someone who posted touching personal stories, for example, might come off as oversharing without intending to. In short, says Gosling, Facebook users aren’t generally using the site as an image buffer, a resume enhancer, or a separate self. “They just use it as a medium for social life.” 46. What is the usual assumption about social networking sites? A. They provide good study platforms. B. They contain totally fake information. C. They are friendly to various personalities. D. They couldn’t show one’s real nature. 47. What is the central focus of Samuel D. Gosling’s research on Facebook profiles and personality? A. Proving that emotional stability cannot be assessed through any online platform. B. Demonstrating that people deliberately misrepresent their personalities on social media. C. Comparing online personality presentations with offline traits to evaluate authenticity. D. Advocating for Facebook as a tool for professional resume enhancement. 48. Which showed no connection between personality tests online and off? A. Emotional stability. B. Extroversion. C. Sense of responsibility. D. Openness to new experience. 49. Why do Facebook users stay true to themselves online? A. True personality beautifies image. B. Only cheats invest in a false identity. C. The site is a medium for social life. D. Various interests can be shared there. 50. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To offer a recommendation. B. To introduce a finding. C. To defend a viewpoint. D. To present a phenomenon. D People in business often make decisions based on their own personal feelings or instincts. It is quite horrifying to see people being guided by some unknown force. But how wise is it, really, to let your instincts drive your decisions? In the decision-making process, relying on instincts only makes sense when you have a vast experience to support you. Simply ‌“feeling” that something is right or should be done is highly subjective and can drown you. On the other hand, there is a more rational (理性) approach to making decisions. Data and analysis have long been associated with informed decisions. These reduce the likelihood (可能性) of errors and increase the chances of success. Big, systematic data is mostly the foundation of most of our decisions, personal and business alike. But with its extreme usability comes a complication: what do you do if you strongly feel something should not be done, even if the data insists that it should? This seemingly easy question is what drives the need to understand the relationship between instincts and data in the decision-making process. Without making things complicated, the solution to this dilemma is using data and instincts in conjunction to arrive at the best possible decisions. Instinctive decisions are always backed by previous experiences or information, which acknowledges that instinctive decisions have worked in the past. Decisions are not about making the choice and braving the consequences because you want to blindly trust your instincts. They are about combining your inner wisdom with the knowledge of systematic data to make the best decisions. Sometimes, rational analysis and data are impractical to be employed in certain situations. Absence of definitive criteria, and time and resource constraints, and novel situations are instances which limit the practicality of data. The only possible option is to rely on what your instincts tell you. In these situations, instincts can help you make effective and quick decisions. Combining instinctive and rational analysis produces well-rounded decisions. It reduces the chances of making mistakes, and has increasingly become a favorite approach to decision-making among leaders of today. 51. What does the author say business people often do? A Strive to make sense of some unknown forces. B. Avoid being driven by their own feelings. C. Draw on a vast wealth of past experience. D. Rely on instincts in decision-making. 52. What should we take into account in order to make informed decisions? A. The likelihood of errors. B. Systematic data and analysis. C. The complexity of circumstances. D. Personal feelings and business strategies. 53. What should people do in a decision-making process if instincts disagree with data? A. Resolve the dilemma with previous experience. B. Figure out which of the two is more reliable. C. Combine the two together. D. Prioritize instincts over data. 54. What should we do when facing various factors that limit the practicality of data? A. Make a rational and systematic analysis. B. Explore the most feasible options. C. Resort to our inner wisdom. D. Apply definitive criteria. 55. What does it take for decisions to become the best according to the author? A. Applying instincts and data in conjunction. B. Assessing all factors when making a choice. C. Recalling what has actually worked in the past. D. Refraining from trusting instincts randomly. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共35分） 第二部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 Wang Yi, born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫) in Jiangsu Province in 1989, has written eight books with one movable finger. Restricted to a wheelchair as she began to grow up, she even has difficulty eating and bathing. Her future seems bleak in the eyes of others, but Wang and her parents have remained optimistic throughout. Since childhood, Wang’s parents have been telling her to regard herself as a normal person even if she is physically disabled. She practiced performing daily activities repeatedly. With the assistance of her parents, she learned to live with her physical disability and aimed to be an outstanding writer. Before the age of 17, Wang completed nine years of compulsory education and acquired much literary knowledge. With the encouragement of her teacher, she became more determined to chase her dream of writing. Sitting in a wheelchair, Wang pursues her dream in her own way. While she only has one movable finger on her right hand, she has managed to write eight books with a total of more than a million words. “For me, writing is not a tool to make a living, but my necessary life mode. It has become a medium for me to communicate with the world. Only when I am involved in writing can I feel complete,” she stressed. Wang hopes her story can push more disabled people to strive. “The sense of value and dignity comes from social recognition and equal treatment, as well as from the efforts of the disabled themselves.” She also hopes every reader can experience the strength of life when they are reading her works so that they will be inspired. Jidi Majia, Vice Chairman of the China Writers Association commented, “Although Wang Yi has a disability, the spirit shown in her works is positive. Besides, Wang’s lyrics (抒情诗) show a unique understanding of the value of life.” 56. What does Wang Yi suffer due to cerebral palsy?
