Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention. And especially if its given from the heart. When people are talking，theres no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what theyre saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us dont value ourselves or our love enough to know this. Ithas taken me a long time to believe in the power of simplesaying “Im so sorry，” when someone is in pain.One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell herstory people often interrupted to tell her that they once hadsomething just like that happening to them. Her pain becamea story about themselves. Eventually she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand，we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen，they know we care.I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs，until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down，to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry，they find me there with them.This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they weretoo shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I knowthat a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.21What does the author value most in the communication with each other? ADeep understanding. BAttention from heart. CSaying “Im sorry” DDoing nothing.22The woman patient stopped telling her story to most people because_.Ashe didnt get enough respect from others Bpeople often told her their own opinionsCpeople couldnt understand her sad situation Dshe was discouraged by being often interrupted23If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying，you may_. Astop him from letting out his sorrow Bmake him embarrassed Cencourage him to continue to cry Dhurt his feelings24Which of the following might be the authors opinion about communication? AJust listen. BKeep silent. CBe careful. DTell your own story.BI used to have a friend that was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the news that he might only live up to six months was a great shock to him, his family, and his friendsHowever, in spite of the serious illness, he was initially determined to look into all available treatments that might cure or extend his lifeI think that when you find yourself in such situations, you tend to look up every possible way for hope of saving your lifeWith months going on and his health grew worse, I noticed an unexpected change in attitude that came over himHe had also been a happy person with a cheerful personality, but rather than give in to discouragement and self-pity, he took comfort in God and humanityHis talks focused on others rather than himself, and he spoke of the afterlife as something he was prepared for, believing that his concerned ancestors, including his mother and father, were there waiting for himIn the last few months, weeks, and days of his life, he was kindly cared for by family, friends, his loving wife, who looked after both his physical and emotional needs, and workers from a local hospice（安养院）came to the home to regulate his medication and provide any other needed supportHe didnt complain about his fate, and he willingly allowed others to serve himIndeed, one might think why God allows death and suffering in our world, but for me, such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness for othersYou often cant learn these important attributes in the lap of luxury, and perhaps, such an experience is the greatest and final gift the illness can give those left behind25Which word can best describe the mans initial reaction as soon as he was diagnosed with cancer? AAstonished BAnnoyed CTerrified DConfused26What did the man do after he first learned of his illness? AHe was operated on immediately BHe researched cancer treatments CHe retired from his job DHe felt sad, doing nothing27What was the mans main source of comfort after several months with the disease?AHis family and friends BThe care from othersCHis doctors encouragement DHis belief in humanityCWould you want a doctor who got high marks in medical school just for trying hard? Apparently many college students would have no problem with that. They believe students are owed a good grade simply because they put a lot of effort into a class.The researchers asked more than 800 undergraduates if they agreed or disagreed with some statements. For example: If I have completed most of the reading for a class, I deserve a B in that course. And: A professor should not be annoyed with me if I receive an important call during class.Just16 percent thought it was OK to take that phone call. But 66 percent agreed that a professor should consider effort and not just the quality of a students work when deciding grades. And 40 percent thought they should get a B, the second highest mark, just because they did most of the reading for class.Some experts are not surprised that students often see no difference between effort and results. Social critics like to say that in childrens activities these days everyone gets an award just for trying, so no one will feel rejected.Yet competition to get into the best colleges is fiercer than ever. Students may worry that low grades will keep them out of graduate school or a good job.And there may be another explanation: pressure from parents to get a good return on the familys investment. These days, college can cost more than a house.A former teaching assistant recently wrote to the New York Times about his experience with grade expectations. He would try to explain it this way when students asked for a top grade just for studying hard in chemistry class:What if a baseball player came to spring training and worked harder than all the others, but still could not play well? Would the team accept him anyway, just because he tried so hard?The students would say no. But most of them would still ask for an A.28.What does the passage mainly discuss? AWhether students deserve high marks just for trying hard.- W d j, D0 R J5 BWhether students are allowed to answer calls in class. O+ h8 M4 Z d CHow students can get a good grade in the course.DWhy students put a lot of efforts in their studies.- / b* W h. D2 O 29. According to the research, most of the students _.A. thought it was all right to answer the call during class.B. thought they did most of the work for class and should get a B.C. objected to deciding grades only by the quality of a students work.D. agreed that they should be given top grades because of their hard work.30.

But do you know it can also make you look good? People who increased their intake over just six weeks developed a healthy glow and appeared more attractive, researchers found. Scientists at St Andrews University found eating them slightly increased yellow and red pigments in the volunteers skin. They monitored the food intake of 35 people and took pictures of their faces, arms and hands using a sensitive camera at the start, and after three and six weeks. Increasing their intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day was found to make the person look more healthy and an extra 3.3 portions could enhance their attractiveness, when their photographs were rated by others.Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids(类胡萝卜素)，which are known to protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays, and can also prevent age-related diseases including heart disease and cancer. But while it was known eating extreme amounts of certain vegetables such as carrots could turn skin orange，it was not known a small increase was perceptible(被觉察）to othersand was seen as appealing.A camera measured changes to the skins redness, yellowness and lightness, and found it significantly changed in people who naturally increased their intake. These changes were not evident in three weeks. Using light sensors, the researchers showed these red and yellow hues were linked with the levels of carotenoids in their skin. There are hundreds of carotenoids but those thought to have the most dramatic effect are lycopene(番茄红素)which gives tomatoes and red peppers their red colourand beta-carotene found in carrots as well as broccoli, squash, and spinach. Skin colour is also affected by chemicals called polyphenols(多元酚)，found in apples, blueberries and cherries, which cause blood rush to the skin surface.32. What do we know from the research?A. If you take in a little more fruit and vegetables, you will obviously look more attractive in three weeks.B. People who increased their intake of greens by 3.3 portions a day were found the most attractive after six weeks.C. Increasing your intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day can greatly improve your health.D. The researchers took the pictures of the 35 people in the research at different stages.33. Which of the following is NOT the function of carotenoids？A. They can protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays.B. They can prevent heart disease and cancer. C. They can keep you in good health.D. They can prevent age-related diseases.34.Which of the statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Weve already known eating extreme amounts of carrots can turn skin orange.B. We knew in the past that eating a few more carrots could make us look appealing.C. The research showed the improvement in skin is linked with the levels of carotenoids in it.D. Among hundreds of carotenoids, lycopene is thought to have the most dramatic effect35. Which can be the best title of the passage?A. Eating fruit and vegetables does good.B. Eating fruit and vegetables makes you look good.C. How to become attractive？D. Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids.第二节（共5小题； 每小题2分，满分10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。The Value of TearsTears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. They can leave you embarrassed and without energy. However, crying is a fact of life，and tears are very useful. Even when youre not crying, they make a film over the eyes surface. 36 When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “ People worry about showing their emotions, afraid that once they lose control theyll never get it back.” 37 After we cry, the feelings that caused the tears often disappear,Sometimes people become much stressed and cant cry. Whatever emotion they are feeling-shock, anger, fear, or sadness is being held back. But everyone has the need to cry. Psychologist Vera Diamond explains that her treatment often consists of giving people permission to cry. 38 Patients practice crying just to become used to express emotions. She suggests safe, private places to cry, like under the bedcovers or in the car. Crying is a way of ease tension, but people dont like it when others cry because it makes them tense. 39 And theyll do just about anything to make you stop. In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. Its good not to cry during a tense business discussion. 40 You should also act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better. “And,” she adds, “Once your tears have taken away the stress, you can begin to think calmly of ways to deal with the problem.” Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. If you find yourself near someone crying, deal with it. And never be afraid to cry yourself.A. They too may be holding back a need to cry.B. They cry for different reasons.C. She gives crying exercises.D. It contains a chemical against infection（炎症）.E. The fact is no emotion lasts forever.F. It forms in response to the stress on the surface of the eye.G. But once youre safely behind closed doors, dont just cry.第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节， 满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A,B,C,D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The nurse approached him, smiling. “The labor is going great,” she said. “wouldnt you like to come in？”“Oh, no.” The man shook his 41 .The nurse 42 the mothers side, and the labor progressed 43 .
