Im so organized, my half of the closet could be a display at The Container Store. My husbands half of the closet? Just thinking about it make my head ache. I carried my suitcase downstairs. Bill was in the kitchen cooking. Looking at the messy kitchen, I shouted, “Why do you have to be so messy?” Bill look hurt, “What?” I sighed and left for the airport. On my last flight, an elderly couple had the seats in my section. They held hands during takeoff. Later I caught them looking into each others eyes. Something about that look was familiar. Then I realized: it was the look Bill and I had worn in our wedding photographs. I couldnt resist asking them about the secret of their long-lasting marriage. “Have fun together,” the man said, “and never take each other for granted.” Her words circled in my head long after we landed. Bill wasnt perfect. But then, was I? I kept complaining about his messiness and forgot his kindness, his ability to see the bright side of every situation-qualities that ran so much deeper, the reasons I had married him in the first place. I took out my cell phone and called Bill. “I miss you already.” I said. “I miss you too, Kim,” he said. As soon as my flights were over, I rushed home. Bill met me at the door. “I have a surprise for you.” he said and led me into the kitchen. I glanced around the room. He really had worked hard. In spite of the fingerprints on that microwave floor, I could see our reflection in it: my husband and I, our smiles glowing with love for each other, just like in our wedding photos.21. Why did Kim get so angry with her husband? A. She found his weaknesses one morning. B. She didnt love him any more. C. He left things in an untidy state. D. He turned a deaf ear to her complaints.22. Whats special about the old couple? A. They never quarreled with each other. B. They often made fun of each other. C. They kept their lives so fresh. D. They took each other for granted.23. Kim changed her attitude towards her husband after _. A. she realized Bill wasnt perfect B. she got inspired by the old couple C. her husband had cleaned up the kitchen D. they had their wedding photos taken24. The best title of the passage might be _. A. Love You, Lover Your Mess B. Love is Blind, Love is messy C. The Wedding Photos D. A Loving Old CoupleB The Year In Miracles: Inspirational Quotes These miracle (奇迹）stories inspire use with their heroes, amazing acts of kindness, and moments of grace.Walking home from work as a New York City bus driver, Stephen St. Bernard, 52, heard screaming and saw seven-year-old KeylaMcCree standing on top of an air-conditioning unit outside the window of her third-floor apartment. He rushed over in time to catch the child as she fell the 25 feet. The force of the lifesaving catch tore a tendon(腱）in St. Bernards shoulder; the girl suffered only minor injuries.When a gunman opened fire on the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin, in Oak Creek, 65-year-old Satwant Singh Kalela saved lives while sacrificing his own by fighting the murderer with a butter knife. Around the same time, Lt Brian Murphy urged fellow officers to help others despite having been shot nine times at close range. He survived. In a record-setting chain of anonymous (匿名的）giving, total strangers from all over the country donated a kidney to someone in New Jersey. Inspired by the anonymous gift to her uncle, the receivers niece, Teresa A. Gavin donated her kidney to Brook R. Kitzman, a needy patient in Michigan. Kitzemans ex-boyfriend continued to pay it forward by giving a kidney to someone he didnt know in Pennsylvania. When it was all over, 30 receivers and 30 donors had participated in the chain.After her student fell into a flooded mine, a kindergarten teacher near Hanover, Germany, jumped in after him and didnt stop falling for 75 feet. Once she splashed down, she kept the boys head above the cold water for two hours until they were rescued.25. During the lifesaving move, Stephen St. Bernard _.

Stephen St. Bernard and Rick Ruzzamenti27. Kitzmans former boyfriend gave his kidney away to someone in _. A. Wisconsin B. Michigan C. California D. PennsylvaniaCAn Ofsted (英国教育标准办公室）study reports that teachers are discouraging students who want to leave school and work as apprentices (学徒）in beauty salons (美容中心）or hair dressers.Inspectors questioned 105 young people for a report on apprenticeships published on Wednesday. They found several examples of young people who felt they had been laughed at by their teachers for wanting to progress to work-based learning, particularly in care or hairdressing, rather than stay on at school.Right or wrong, is it any surprise that this is happening? From 2014，the government will measure schools according to the rate of their pupils who go to university. Brian Lightman, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, says the government has already put teachers under “very great pressure to focus on academic subjects”.On the other hand, the Education Act 2011，which came into force in November, places schools under a duty to give fair career advice to pupils. This advice must include information on all post-16 education and training choices, including apprenticeships. This doesnt appear to be happening in several schools, according to Ofsteds report. Many of the young people the inspectors talked to said the advice they had received on apprenticeships was “unsatisfactory”.Schools were also blamed for lack of work experience courses, which are particularly important for teenagers considering an apprenticeship. They help students decide whether they enjoy a line of work and enable employers to see whether those on work experience have the potential to be hired as apprentices in future years.But there is a good reason why they cant do this: theyd be unable to adapt to GCSE (英国齊通中等教育证书）exams if they did. Sometimes, it seems, schools just cant win.28. Why do teachers oppose the students leaving school and working as apprentices?A. The government urges teachers to concentrate on academic subjects.B. The students are only wasting time working as apprentices.C. Employers are under great pressure of taking GCSE exams.D. Employers dont give students chances to work as apprentices.29.Pressure for schools to provide pupils with career advice comes from _A. Association of School and College LeadersB. Education Act 2011C. GCSE examsD. Ofsted30. The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 5 refers to _.A. schools B. employersC. work experience courses D. teenagers considering an apprenticeship31. What does the author think of teachers discouraging students working as apprentices?A. Surprising. B. Understandable. C. Wrong. D. Right.DAs many people hit middle age, they often start to notice their memory is not what it used to be. We suddenly cant remember where we put the keys just moments ago. As the brain fades, we mildly refer to these occurrences as “senior moments”. While seemingly no big deal, this loss of mental focus can potentially have a detrimental influence on our professional, social, and personal happiness.Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家）are increasingly showing theres actually a lot that can be done. The brain needs exercise in much the same way our muscles do, and the right mental exercise can greatly improve our basic cognitive (认知）functions. Now, a new San Francisco Web-based company has taken it a step further and developed the first “brain training program” Lumosity. It is far more than an online place to exercise your mental skills. Thats because they have combined these exercises into a Web-based program that allows you to systematically improve your memory and attention skills. The program records your progress and provides detailed feedback (反馈）on your performance and improvement. Most importantly, it constantly improves the games you play to build on the strengths you are developing.Obviously it does work. The company says, according to the clinical trials, its users have reported clearer and quicker thinking, improved memory for names, numbers, directions, etc and better concentration at work. While many of the games at Lumosity are free, a reasonable subscription fee is required to use the full program over the long term. However, Lumosity is currently offering a free trial of their program to new users who create an account so that you can see how well it works before you decide to subscribe.32.The underlined word “detrimental” probably means _.A. harmful B. beneficial C. major D. decisive33. What is Lumosity?A. A program aiming to exercise your muscles.B. A Web-based company located in San Francisco.C. An online program offering brain training exercises.D. A series of games providing detailed feedback.34.If you want to be a user of Lumosity, _.A. no fee is required for you to use the full program.B. an account is not necessary for trial useC. youre asked to pay a reasonable fee before subscriptionD. you can try it for free before you buy the full version35.The writer intends to _through the passage.A. persuade people to try LumosityB. introduce neuroscience to readersC. show his support for online gamesD. question the effect of the program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。（如果所用的答题卡没有E、F、G选项，则选E涂A、B,选F涂A、C,选G 涂 A、D。）How to Become an Effective LeaderThe key to becoming an effective leader is not to focus on making other people follow, buton making yourself the kind of person they want to follow. 36_ It takes time tobecome a trustworthy leader.As you prepare yourself to become a better leader, use the following guidelines to help you grow:1. Dont be self-centeredThe truly great leaders are not in leadership for personal gain. 37 _ Perhaps that is why Lawrence D. Bell remarked, “A man who cannot bother to do little things for others are unlikely become a good leader.”2. 38 _Rare is the effective leader who didnt learn to become a good follower first. That is why a leadership institution such as the United States Military Academy teaches its officers to become effective followers first.3. Work with excellenceNo one respects and follows mediocrity (平庸)Leaders who earn the right to lead give their all to what they do. They bring into play not only their skills and talents, but also great passion and hard work. 39 _4. Give your power awayWhat makes leadership so special is that you become a better leader by sharing whateverpower you have, not by saving it all for yourself. 40 _ If you use your power toempower others, your leadership will extend far beyond your grasp.A. Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less.B. They lead in order to serve other people.C. Become a good follower first.D. Leaders help people to reach their potential.E. They perform on the highest level of which they are capable.F. Youre meant to be a river, not a pool.G Leadership isnt learned or earned in a moment.第三部分英语知识运用（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）“Shabby” is the very word that comes, also describes my state of mind when I think back to that time and place.
