第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)
阅读下面短文, 从每题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Is traditional fairytales good all the time？Recent research found one in five parents have abandoned those old classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Hansel and Gretel and they’re in favor of more modern books.
One third of parents said their children have been left in tears after hearing the terrible details of Little Red Riding Hood. The survey of 2,000 adults was carried out to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM, which starts tonight at 9:00 pm on Watch, and sees six series based on traditional fairytales. The research found a quarter of parents wouldn’t consider reading a fairytale to their child until they had reached the age of five, as they cause too many awkward questions. And 52 percent of the parents said Cinderella didn’t send a good message to their children as it portrays (描绘) a young woman doing housework all day. Similarly, Goldilocks and the Three Bears was also a tale likely to be left on the book shelf as parents felt it condones (宽恕) stealing.
Steve Hornsey, General Manager of Watch, said: “Bedtime stories are supposed to relax the children and send them off to sleep soundly. But as we see in GRIMM, fairytales can be dark and dramatic tales so it’s understandable that parents worry about reading them to young children. As adults we can see the innocence in fairytales, but a five year old with an over active imagination could think they are true. Despite the dark nature of classic fairytales, as we see in GRIMM, good will defeat evil and there is always a moral to the story.”
Though half of parents said traditional tales are more likely to have a strong moral message than a lot of modern kids’ books, two thirds of mums and dads said they were no longer appropriate to comfort youngsters before bed. On the contrary, they might give their children nightmares.
21.Which of the traditional fairytales tells one can get away with stealing?
A.Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
B.Little Red Riding Hood.
C. Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
D. Hansel and Gretel.
22.What’s the author’s attitude towards traditional fairytales?
A.Objective. B.Supporting. C.Disapproving. D.Doubtful.
23. .Which of the following is TRUE about the recent research?
A.Steve Hornsey General Manager of Watch led the research.
B.20% parents thought old classics aren’t fit for modern children.
C.People like more modern books because old classics are out of
17
date.
D.About 30% parents were moved to tears after hearing some classic fairytales.

Hi, everybody. Over the past couple months, most of the political headlines you’ve read have probably been about the government shutdown and the launch of the Affordable Care Act(平价医疗法案). And I know that many of you have rightly never been more frustrated with Washington.
But if you look beyond those headlines, there are some good things happening in our economy. And that’s been my top priority（优先考虑）since the day I walked into the Oval Office.
After decades in which the middle class was working harder and harder just to keep up, and a punishing recession（衰退）that made it worse, we made the tough choices required not just to recover from crisis, but to rebuild on a new foundation for stronger, more durable economic growth.
Five years later, we have fought our way back. Our businesses have created 7.8 million new jobs in the past 44 months. Another 200,000 Americans went back to work last month.
The American auto industry has come back with more than 350,000 new jobs –-- jobs putting out and selling the high-tech, fuel-efficient cars the world wants to buy. And they’re leading the charge in a business that has added jobs for the first time since the 1990s –-- a big reason why our businesses sell more goods and services “Made in America” than ever before.
We decided to stop our addiction to foreign oil. And today, we produce more renewable energy than ever, more natural gas than anybody, and for the first time in nearly 20 years, America now produces more oil than we buy from other countries.
We decided to fix a broken health care system. And even though the task has been rough, so far, about 500,000 Americans gain health coverage starting January 1st. And by the way, health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years.
And one more thing: since I took office, we’ve cut our deficits (赤字) by more than half. And that makes it easier to invest in the things that create jobs –-- education, research, and so on.
Imagine how much farther along we could be if both parties were working together. Think about what we could do if the few didn’t hold the economy hostage (人质) every few months, or waste time on dozens of votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act rather than try to help us fix it.
In the weeks ahead, I’ll keep talking about my plan to build a better bargain for the middle class. Good jobs. A good education. A chance to buy a home, save, and retire. And yes, the financial security of affordable health care. And I’ll look for any willing partners who want to help.
Because of your hard work and tough sacrifices over the past five years, we’re
17
pointed in the right direction. But we’ve got more work to do to keep moving that way. And as long as I’m President, I’ll keep doing everything I can to create jobs, grow the economy, and make sure that everyone who works hard has a chance to get ahead. Thanks, and have a great weekend.
24. Which of the following is not the reason for people’s frustration with the government?
A. The government shutdown B. Unemployment rate
C. The addiction to foreign oil D. Cancelling the Affordable Care Act
25. Why does the president mention more goods and services “Made in America”?
A. To show that American goods and services are very popular.
B. To indicate that American people should be dependent on themselves.
C. To show that the employment rate has been increased.
D. To show that American auto industry enjoys high technology.
26. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “repeal”?
A. put an end to B. try hard to fix C. make stronger D. get accustomed to
27. According to the speech, which of the following can be implied?
A. American people have every reason to feel frustrated with the government.
B. Health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years.
C. The president feels sorry that the economy is not moving in the right direction.
D. Some government officials don’t agree with the president on the medical care system.

Before the early 1960’s people interested in the differing roles of the left and right hemispheres(半球) of the brain depended almost entirely on facts drawn from animal research, from studies of patients with one-sided brain damage. But it was possible to find out which brain hemisphere was most involved in speech and other functions in normal people by having them listen to two different words coming to the two ears at the same time. This became known as the “dichotic listening” procedure. When several word pairs are given in a row, people are unable to report them all, and most right-handers prefer to report, and report more correctly, words given to their right ears. This seems to be related to the fact that signals from the right ear, although sent to both hemispheres, are better sent to the left hemisphere which controls speech. People who have speech represented(回忆) in the right hemisphere, a very unusual occurrence even in left-handed people, more correctly report what their left ears hear.
In contrast to the right-ear advantage for speech, there is generally a left-ear advantage for another type of auditory(听觉的) signal: music. When right-handed people listen to melodic(调子美妙的) patterns they report them better from the left ear.

A. An Introduction to Speech Damage in Patients with Brain Damage.
B. An Investigation into the Role of the Brain’s Hemispheres.
C. An Analysis of Left and Right-handed People.
D. An Examination of “Dichotic Listening”.

A. two different words in the same ear twice
B. the same word twice in the same ear
C. two different words in different ears
D. two different words twice in two ears
34. According to the passage, right-handed people normally _______.
A. have better hearing in their both ears
B. have little difficulty in reporting words given to their right ears
C. are unable to report word pairs given to their left ears
D. correctly report word pairs given in a row
35. According to the passage, music is best appreciated when heard by _______.
A. the left ear of right-handers
B. people with a left-ear advantage
C. left-handers in their right ears
D. right-handed people who understand melodic patterns

___36___ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.

参考范文：
Everyone has a person he wants to say thank-you to in his deep heart.I owe my great gratitude to my mother.
My mother is a primary school teacher who graduated from a teachers college. She is a devoted mother as well as a kind and patient teacher. I was attended considerately by her every day, especially this year when I am in Senior Three. She often cooks delicious dishes for me and helps me clean up my room. What’s more, she even accompanies me deep into the night every time I am doing my homework. Most important of all, whenever I get upset or lose heart, she will comfort me and encourage me until I have cheered up. I appreciate her motto “Heaven will always leave a door open. As long as you work hard, you will definitely succeed.”
So now I spare no efforts in studying and focus all my attention on my lessons in order to be admitted to a famous university next year, so that I can reward my mother.

W: I’m trying to get there as fast as I can. I need to deposit some money at the bank and mail some letters at the post office. But first, I’ve really got to find a ladies’ room!

W: Have you looked in the mirror today?
M: Uh, not since I woke up this morning… Why? Did I forget to do my hair or something?
W: Well, let’s just say that green ties and pink shirts don’t really mix…

M: I’m starving! What have you got to eat around here?
W: Um, not much. I really wasn’t expecting anyone over, so…
M: All you have in here is some salad and one of those health drinks that only girls drink…
W: Look. I don’t show up at your door without calling and criticize your food, do I?
Text 4
W: Do you have any idea what time it is now? Have you ever heard your phone?
M: I’m sorry. But my phone ran out of power. I got back here as fast as I could because I knew you’d be worried.

W: Hi, James! It’s me, Diane. Oh, I’m so glad I caught you. I was just talking to Drake, and…
M: I’m sorry. But I think you dialed the wrong number. My name is Daniel.

W: Hi, welcome to Burger Palace. Can I take your order, please?
M: Yeah. Two bacon cheeseburgers and two orders of fries, please.
W: All right. Would you like anything to drink with that?
M: No, thanks. We’ve got sodas at home.
W: So, that’s going to be to go, right?
M: That’s right.
W: OK. Your total is $17.
M: Here’s a twenty. Keep the change.
W: Oh, thank you so much! You are Number 255. Your order should be ready in about five minutes.

M: Can you see how close we are on the map?
W: It looks like we’re pretty close, but these smart phone maps are hard to read.
M: Yeah, I always prefer to look at a paper map. I think I still have some in the pocket of the right door, if you wanna grab one…
W: No, I’d probably be even worse at that. Uh-oh, I think you were supposed to turn left back there.
17
M: You mean that you were supposed to tell me to turn left back there?
W: Yeah, I’m sorry. I don’t have one of these kinds of phones, so I’m afraid I don’t really know what I’m doing. Do you want to pull over and take a look?
M: No. It’s okay. Just push that little button on the side of the phone to turn on the sound. That will allow us to hear the directions out loud.

W: Hey, are you watching YouTube?
M: Yeah. I love all the funny videos that people post.
W: Have you ever seen the YouTube show Epic Meal Time(《超级开饭时间》)?
M: Uh, no. I didn’t know YouTube had shows. I thought it was only home videos and music videos…stuff like that.
W: Well, YouTube also has channels, just like regular TV. There are many different kinds of shows every week. Most of them are shorter and cheaper to make than regular TV, though.
M: YouTube is even cooler than I thought! So, what’s Epic Meal Time?
W: There’s a group of guys who make the unhealthy meals they can possibly cook. Everything has bacon on it. Most things are fried, and there is a ton of cheese on everything. We’re talking tens of thousands of calories in one meal! In this show, the main guy introduces the meal, and then you see them shopping for the ingredients. You watch them cook everything. And at the end, they all eat it with their friends!

W: Brett, can I ask you a question about your dog?
M: Sure. What’s up?
W: Well, I have to get my little Ferguson some medicine.
M: Oh, is everything all right?
W: Yes, of course. It’s not like he’s sick or anything. I give him medicine every month as part of his regular care, so he doesn’t get any diseases from insects or other dogs.
M: Oh, right. I do that for Fargo, too.
W: Yeah. That was what I was going to ask you about. Where do you buy your dog’s medicine? I asked my vet, and she told me the prices. I almost dropped dead right there!
M: Yeah. Unfortunately, most special pet stores sell them at fixed prices that are set by the companies that make them. You can usually find discounts of ten or fifteen percent for a lot of those stores, though.
W: Well, that’s not a huge help for something that’s two hundred dollars per year! Isn’t there any other way?
17
M: Well, you can order some medicines from websites that are based in other countries where the prices are lower.

This is the Lakewood Public Address System. This is not a test like the one we had last week. I repeat, this is not a test. The Western Hill Fire is spreading toward Lakewood much quicker than we had expected. Currently, we expect the fire to come within twenty miles of Lakewood by six o’clock this evening. We are therefore requiring all residents to leave this area immediately.
Springfield to the north, Point Cabina Station to the east, and Galveston to the south are all in the safe zone. It will take less than thirty minutes to drive to any of these towns. Take as many things as you can fit in your car, but do not delay. We have orders from the state police to make sure that the entire town of Lakewood is empty by five o’clock today. You have plenty of time to get all your family members, pets, and belongings together, so there is no need to panic. Stay calm, but get started as soon as possible.
