第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
I was raised in a house where my sisters and I weren't trusted by our mother to manage our own appearance. A few years ago, I was home for a visit when my mom, now in her early 70s, called me into her bedroom. We were about ready to leave for dinner. “I don't know what to wear,” She complained. “You girls always look so good. ”
I paused in the doorway and looked at her,wondering if I'd misheard. “What do you mean?” I asked her. “You know what to wear.”“No,” she answered. “ I don't. Can you
pick some for me?” I was so surprised.
This was the same woman that, in 1989, told my younger sister she wasn't allowed to leave the house wearing a pair of ripped(撕碎的) jeans; the same woman that, in high school,called me while I was out at a party to ask if my hair was tied up, “You look better with it down,” she told me. Before I could answer I realized, suddenly, that my mother not only wanted my opinion, but needed it. I pulled a pair of blue jeans and a light blue sweater. “Wear this with your black shoes,” I told her. She did. My mother certainly doesn't need anyone to take care of her. In fact, she still cares for my grandmother who lives with her. But with that question, my mother and I started the role reversal(转换) that happens to all parents and all children, from caregivers to receivers.
Now, if I'm visiting or we're together, it's rare for her to wear anything without checking with me first. But every so often, it seems like she asks me just to be able to disagree with my answer and pick out something on her own. And when she does, I just tell her what I think of the way she looks. Sometimes it's “great”, and sometimes it's “awful”.
21.How did the author react the first time her mother asked her for advice on clothes?
A.She was happy to do something for her mother.
B.She came to realize that her mother needed her care.
C.She was worried that her mother was too old to live alone.
D.She had no idea what was suitable for her mother.
22.When the author gives her opinion about clothes, what does her mother do?
A.She always accepts her suggestions happily.
B.She sometimes chooses to follow her own ideas.
C.She is often surprised by what the author says.
D.She still shows uncertainty about what to wear.
23.What's the author's purpose of writing this article?
A.She wants to show what it is like to have a strict mother.
B.She wants to remind readers to visit their parents often.
C.She wants to stress her mother's great influence on her.
D.She wants to show how the roles of parents and their children reverse.

Up to now Jack has helped some children from poor countries all over the world, by sending them each $ 200 a month. The money was used for the children's study, food, medicine and clothing.

He said that the meeting was very exciting. “When I met her, I felt very, very happy.” he said, “And I saw that the money was used for_a_good_cause. It brought me happiness.

Ecofriendly Vauban, lied in the southwest part of Germany, has everything—treelined streets, perfect houses—but it's missing one urban feature of the last 100 years or so: the car. And Vauban residents don't mind one bit. Vauban doesn't ban cars entirely. Rather, it just tries to reduce the use of cars by creating “parkingfree” and “carfree” living. In Vauban, parking spots are a nono private property. Cars can only be parked in public parking lots, so living without a car saves residents the cost of parking in the public lot. Cars also are prevented from using certain roads and must stick to strict speed limits. With these limitations, fewer than 20 percent of residents own cars. And now, with a population of 5,500, it's attracting attention from around the world. Can an ecofriendly city like Vauban be a model for Americans to stop their over reliance on the cars?
Sometimes when I watch a news report what's in the back of my mind is what isn't being reported or stressed. While this ecofriendly city is inspiring in that it shows residents getting exercise and fresh air through the majority use of bicycles, as well as good oldfashioned walking, common sense would tell you that even for a place like Vauban, Germany, it owes its existence to the cars.
Do you think that bicycles were able to transport all the construction materials that were needed to build and maintain the ecofriendly homes and businesses in Vauban? It took cars to help build this city. It's one of the paradoxes of life that sometimes in order to get away from relying on something like the car, you actually have to rely on that very thing at the beginning and into the foreseeable future to some degree.
I myself haven't owned a car for more than 14 years, and mostly get around town running, walking, or using public transportation. There are times I wish I had one, since it would make many things easier, but overall I'm glad not to have to deal with the headaches of owning a car, which caused me to get rid of it in the first place. And all the walking and running has helped to keep me fit and healthy. To get even close to being like ecofriendly Vauban, Americans will need to absolutely change the way they live. Commuting (乘车上下班) patterns will have to change, public transportation will have to be invested in, and so on. And though ending our love affair with the car will be impossible during my lifetime, we may at least start to see more Vaubanlike areas in the USA.
We can hope that Americans will consider using their feet more to get around, cutting down on pollution, and giving themselves some more exercise.
28.Why don't over 80% of the residents in Vauban own car?
A.The streets there are very narrow.
B.There are many limitations on the use of cars.
C.The government limits the number of cars.
D.Most cars belong to their public property.
29.From Paragraph 3 we can know that getting away from cars in cities are ________.
A.opposite things B.big shortcomings
C.great strengths D.firm bases
30.How does the writer feel of not owning a car?
A.Curious. B.Proud.
C.Grateful. D.Regretful.
31.What is the attitude towards Americans about the lifestyle according to the writer?
A.Not mentioned.
B.They are not ecofriendly.
C.They have too many cars.
D.They work hard.
D

“Engineering is such a good job—you make good money, travel around the world, solve amazing problems and help people.” She says.
The mission of Dream Big is to show people the good that engineers can do to the world. “That was the impulse of making this movie,” MacGillivray explains, “We want to explain engineering in a way that will get the kids very excited about it. ” “Whoever and wherever you are, you can become an engineer,” he adds, “all you need is the creative spirit.”

Have you ever wondered how the trainers at Sea World get the 19,000pound whale to jump 22 feet out of water and perform tricks? They get that whale to go over a rope farther out of the water than most of us can imagine. __36__.
So how do the trainers at Sea World do it? The first thing they do is reinforce (强化) the behavior that they want repeated—in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope. __37__, in a position where the whale can't help but do what's expected of it. Every time the whale goes over the rope, it's given positive reinforcement and gets fed with fish. But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing—no criticism, no warning and no feedback. __38__.
Positive reinforcement is the key of that simple principle that produces such splendid results. And as the whale begins to go over the rope more often than under, the trainers begin to raise the rope. It must be raised slowly enough so that the whale doesn't starve.
__39__. Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistently. Secondly, undercriticize. People know they need help when they mess up. __40__, people will not forget the event and usually will not repeat it.
So we need to set up the circumstances so that people can't fail. Overcelebrate, undercriticize...and know how far to raise the rope.
A.This is a great challenge
B.And the whale stays right where it is
C.If we figure out a way to motivate the whale
D.They start with the rope below the surface of the water
E.If we undercriticize, punish and discipline less than expected
F.Whales are taught that their negative behavior won't be acknowledged
G.The simple lesson to be learned from the whale trainers is to overcelebrate

第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的概要。
Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century,people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease,as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry Ⅳ, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease,the nobleman should not go out.
Though the belief in the merit (好处) of dirt was longlived,dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18 century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many firsttime parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt,which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary,Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist (免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter (后者) position is gaining some ground.
