While posing in our costumes the night before, we knew something was wrong, just not how wrong.Grandmas house was the central gathering place of my family. Sunday lunches, birthday dinners, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas all were our traditions, with her as hostess. While my parents were busy running their small business, there were many nights when Grandma fed me and put me to bed in her spare room, until they came to get me. I spent my summers at Grandmas and I went everywhere with her. I couldnt imagine a time when she wouldnt be around me.Then November 1,1991 began her month-long stay in the hospitalshe suffered from a rare infection (感染)called nocardia asteroides. After being born in the year of the Great Depression, living through World War II, raising three kids, and being widowed at the age of 48, Grandma never expected to live into her seventies. The infection in her brain seemed to confirm that she wasnt long for this world. But thats not the end of her story. A team of doctors successfully removed the abscess(脓肿), and Grandma even made it into a local medical journal. Her doctor called her “the brain lady”.Grandma celebrated her 85th birthday in March this year. In the almost 23 years since her recovery, shes seen two of her four grandchildren get married and welcomed three great-grandsons.

Gary.CWhat were you doing before you started reading this? Were you fully focused on another article? Or eating breakfast? Organizing your day? Or were you staring out of the window, feeling restless and bored?It is likely to have been the latter. Brief moments of boredom are universal, and are frequently what drives us to stop what we are doing and move to something that we hope will be more exciting.But although boredom is common, it is neither unimportant nor favorable, according to Dr John Eastwood, a psychologist at York University, Toronto. Eastwood is the joint author of The Unengaged Mind, a major new paper on the theory of boredom.Boredom, he points out in the paper, has been connected with overeating, depression, anxiety, and an increased risk of making mistakes. Mistakes at work might not be a matter of life and death for most of us, but if you are an air traffic controller, pilot or nuclear power plant operator, they most certainly can be.Commercial polo Sami Franks confirms that boredom can make pilots lose attention. “When you fly a lengthy distance, there are two pilots, one of whom is monitoring all the screens while the other does the paperwork, talks to air traffic control and so on. You need to be alert(警觉的) for landing and takeoff, but once youre 500 ft above the runway, the planes on autopilot(自动驾驶仪) and it can be very quiet and boring. In a study I saw of pilots who woke up after a short sleep. 30% of them reported seeing the other pilot asleep too,” said Franks.However, Dr Esther Priyadharshini, a senior lecturer in education at the university of East Anglia, has studied boredom and says it can be seen in a positive light. “We cant prevent boredomits an unavoidable human emotion. We have to accept it and find ways to control it. We all need downtime. Theres no need to be fully busy with work at all times.” she says.Children who complain that they have nothing to do on rainy holidays may try to find other things to focus on. The artist Grayson Perry has reportedly spoken of how long periods of boredom in childhood may have improved his creativity.“We all need vacant time to mull(深思熟虑)things over,” says Priyadharshini.28. The study mentioned by Franks shows that _.A. pilots need to be alert for landing and takeoffB. pilots must work well together when flyingC. boredom can make pilots lose attentionD. flying a plane is generally quite fun29. Which of the following might be Perrys opinion on boredom?A. It often leads to failure. B. It has a beneficial effect.C. It is more likely to happen to children. D. It makes children lose interest in learning.30. What is the best title for the text?A. Why am I so bored?B. Is boredom bad for you?C. Can I have your attention? D. How can I get rid of boredom?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 Science of Risk-SeekingSometimes We decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 31 Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, righting, or exploring. 32 As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why arent we all jumping; out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 33 No matter where you arc on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to lake risks increases during your teenage years. 34 To help yon do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.Mean taking sonic risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.35 For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, well continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.A. It all depends on your character.B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.第三部分 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。That morning, I got on the train as always.
