It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not. In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said,“Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind. Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; Ijust needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up? I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an“A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?” 24. The author didn’t finish the reading in class because. A. He was new to the class 第 7 页 共 14 页 B. He was tried of literature C. He had an attention disorder D. He wanted to take the task home 25. What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage? A. He had good sight B.

Encouraging 27. What is the main idea of the passage? A.The disabled should be treated with respect. B.A teacher can open up a new world to students. C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts. D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges. C Having an older brother or sister comes with plenty of benefits. Big brothers and sisters tend to look out for their younger siblings, and despite the occasional rocky moments, many siblings have lifelong close relationships. However, a new study finds the interesting downside: children with older brothers take longer when it comes to developing language skills. The study, conducted by a group of researchers in Paris, France, builds on the earlier research that had already established that having older siblings is associated with poor linguistic(语言的) development. Now, researchers say they have come to a more specific conclusion: only children with older brothers exhibit these linguistic difficulties. One would assume that children with older brothers would grow up around more conversation on a daily basis, thus speeding up their language development. Yet researchers say such children actually take longer than their older brothers to begin developing these skills. Researchers studied more than 1,000 children from their birth to the age of five and a half years old. Each child's language skills were tested at ages 2, 3, and 5.5, using tests specially 第 8 页 共 14 页 designed to measure numerous aspects of language development such as vocabulary, syntax (句 法), and verbal reasoning. What the research team discovered was significant: children with older brothers had, on average, a two-month delay in their language development compared to children with older sisters. When explaining this phenomenon, researchers have proposed two hypotheses (假设). The first hypothesis is that older sisters tend to talk more often than older brothers, which would make up for parents potentially being less present than they were for their first child. The second is that older sisters usually compete with their siblings less than older brothers for their parents' love. So far, the study's authors say they can't say for certain why children with older brothers have a harder time developing language skills. In the future they would like to investigate if cultures or locations impact the results of the study. 28．People may enjoy having brothers and sisters because ________. A．siblings may affect the speed of language learning B．they share the happy moments on rocky mountains C．older brothers and sisters will take care of younger ones D．all siblings will stay close to each other no matter what happens 29．What does the previous research suggest about having older siblings? A．Many children prefer having brothers and sisters. B．It will affect the younger one's language development. C．Older brothers may have something to do with the linguistic difficulties. D．Children with older brothers would grow up around more conversation on a daily basis. 30．Why do children with older brothers experience the delay in language development? A．Probably because older brothers are eager for more attention. B．Probably because parents tend to focus more on the first child. C．Probably because children with older brothers are usually less competitive. D．Probably because older sisters get less love from their parents compared to older brothers. 31．Which one is the best title for the passage? A．Having Older Siblings: A Good Thing or A Disaster? B．The Delay of Your Children's Language Development C．Why Do Children Suffer from Poor Language Skills? D．Older Brothers May Affect Younger Ones in Language Learning D 第 9 页 共 14 页 Who're happier，men or women？Research shows it's a complex question and that asking whether males or females are happier isn't really that helpful，because basically，happiness is different for women and men. Women's happiness has been declining for the past 30 years ， according to recent statistics.And research shows that women are twice as likely to experience depression compared with men.Gender(性别) differences in depression are well confirmed and studies have found that biological，psychological and social factors contribute to the difference. Early studies on gender and happiness found men and women were socialized to express different feelings.Women are more likely to express happiness，warmth and fear，which help with social bonding and appear more consistent with the traditional role as a primary caregiver，while men display more anger，pride and disrespect，which are more consistent with a protector and provider role. Recent research suggests that these differences are not just socially ，but also genetically related.Studies have looked into these findings further and discovered that females use more areas of the brain containing mirror neurons(镜像神经元) than males when they process feelings.Mirror neurons allow us to experience the world from other people's view，to understand their actions and intentions.This may explain why women can experience deeper sadness.Women tend to experience more negative feelings ， such as more guilt ， shame and to a lesser degree ， embarrassment. Psychologically it seems men and women differ in the way they process and express feelings.With the exception of anger，women experience feelings more strongly and share their feelings more openly with others.Studies have found in particular that women express more appreciation—which has been linked to greater happiness.This supports the theory that women's happiness is more dependent on relationships than men's. 32．Which feeling are men more likely to show compared with women? A．Warmth. B．Depression. C．Happiness. D．Disrespect. 33．What factors cause women to share feelings more openly? A．Psychological factors. B．Biological factors. C．Educational factors. D．Social factors. 34．One can probably read the text from ． A．a science fiction B．a culture brochure C．a nursery guide D．a health magazine 35．What is the text mainly about? 第 10 页 共 14 页 A．Men and women differ in biology and psychology. B．Men and women experience happiness differently. C．Social roles have a great effect on men and women. D．Women's happiness has declined in the past years. 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余 选项. From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money, and time 36 Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spent in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule: Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there’s nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? 37 Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 38 It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for future meal. 39 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule. Hopefully that gives you a good start. 40 And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live! A. Try new things. B. Ability is easily improved. C. Make three or four instead. D. Understand your food better. E. Cooking is a burden for many people. F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden. G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 第 11 页 共 14 页 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 My fiancé (未婚夫) and I were excited about shopping for our first home.

Then he 31 : He’d seen us sitting by the lake all those times; he knew how much we loved the place and we were the people they wanted to live there.

Since 2011, the country has grown more corn than rice. Corn production 57 (jump) nearly 125 percent over the past 25 years, 58 rice has increased only 7 percent. A taste for meat is actually behind the change: An important part of its corn is used 59 (feed) chickens, pigs, and cattle. Another reason for corn’s rise: The government encourages farmers to grow corn instead of rice to improve water quality. Corn uses less water than rice and creates less fertilizer(化肥) runoff. This switch has decreased 60 (pollute) in the country’s major lakes and reservoirs and made drinking water 61 (safe) for people. According to the World Bank, China accounts 62 about 30 percent of total global fertilizer consumption. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005— 63 the government started a soil-testing program which gives specific fertilizer recommendations to farmers — and 2011, fertilizer use dropped by 7.7 million tons. That prevented the emission(排放) of 51.8 million tons of carbon dioxide. China’s approach to 64 (protect) its environment while feeding its citizens “offers 65 (use) lessons for agriculture and food policymakers worldwide.” says the bank’s Juergen Voegele. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节（满分 15 分） 假定你是李华，你校将举办“中国印象”摄影展。请给你的新西兰朋友 Henry 写封邮件， 邀请他参展。内容包括： 1. 展览的目的； 2. 展览的时间和地点； 3. 作品的要求和截止日期。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为 80 左右； 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 第二节（满分 25 分） 第 13 页 共 14 页 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Jenny was a pretty eight-year-old girl. One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store, Jenny saw a plastic pearl necklace, by which she was totally defeated. How eagerly she wanted it! But when he saw the price, her heart sank a little. She gathered up her courage and asked her mother if she would buy it for her, her mother said, “Well, it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money. I can buy you the necklace, but when we get home we should make up a list of housework that you can do to pay for the necklace.” Jenny agreed immediately, feeling a burst of joy. So her mother bought the pearl necklace for her. Jenny worked on her housework determinedly and earnestly every day. Soon Jenny had paid off the pearls. Jenny had a very loving daddy. When Jenny went to bed, he would read Jenny her favorite story. One night when he finished the story, he said, “Jenny, do you love me?” “Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you,” the little girl said delightedly, with a broad smile on her face. “Well, then, give me your pearls.” Hearing that, Jenny froze there, an anxious expression twisting her face. “Oh! Daddy, not my pearls! But you can have Rosy, my favorite doll. Remember her? You gave her to me last year for my birthday. Okay?” “Oh no, darling, that's okay.” Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss, gently and calmly. “Good night, little one.” A week later, her father once again asked Jenny after her story, “Do you love me?” “Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you.” the little girl murmured softly, trying to escape from her father’s eyes. “Well, then, give me your pearls.” “Oh, Daddy, not my pearls! But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse. Do you remember her? She's my favorite.” The little girl begged. “No, that's okay,” her father said, smiling broadly and sweetly and brushed her cheek again with a kiss. “God bless you, little one.
