One of my favorite _16_ to do this is by developing my own helping ritual. These little acts of _17_ are opportunities to be of service and reminders of how good it feels to be kind and _18_. We live in a rural area of the San Francisco Bay Area. Most of what we see is _19_ nature. One of the _20_ to the beauty is the litter that some people throw out of their car windows as they are _21_ on the rural roads. One of the few _22_ to living out the rural areas is that public services, such as litter collection, are less _23_ than they are closer to the city. A helping ritual that I practice _24_ with my two daughters is picking up litter in our surrounding areas. Weve bee so accustomed to doing this that my _25_ will often say to me in a pleasant voice, “ There is some littler, Daddy; _26_ our car!” And if we have enough _27_, we will often pull over and pick it up. It seems strange, but we actually _28_ it. We pick up litter in parks, on sidewalks, practically anywhere. Once I even saw a(n) _29_ picking up litter close to our house. The man who I didnt know smiled at me and said, “I _30_ saw you doing this, and it seem like a good idea.”Picking up litter is only _31_ of an endless supply of possible helping rituals. You might like holding a door open for people, visiting and _32_ lonely old people in nursing homes, or shoveling（铲）snow off someone elses driveway. Think of something that seems effortless _33_ helpful. Its worthwhile, personally rewarding, and can be a good example. Your acts of kindness can _34_ others to do the same things.

His brain has recently been digitally imaged in 3D to ensure future generations have online access to his undiscovered treasures.No, its not Einsteins brain. His name was Henry Molaison. You may not have heard of his name but his contribution has influenced our life. Scientists are learning new ways for treating diseases such as Alzheimers, mainly due to the research conducted on Henry. Henry had part of his brain removed in 1953. However, his ability to form memories was unexpectedly changed. Henry could remember some events and people from his life before the operation, though he could not form new memories. If you met Henry, he would forget meeting you seconds later. Henry only lived in the moment, and nowhere else. The operation had removed key parts of the brain responsible for helping remember the details of our lives. Henry had no choice; his life existed only in the Now. Henry would have forgotten the entire meeting moments after it was over. Unable to live a normal life, Henry engaged in simple daily activities such as shopping, watching television, and doing puzzles. He spent most of his time serving as the subject of countless research projects. Henry could still learn new skills and tasks. He could retain theses skills, but had no idea where or when he had learned them. His brain has multiple memory systems. Memory is not a single process which occurs in the entire brain. Instead, various parts of the brain are responsible for our memory. Due to his inability to remember hed done so many times before, Henry was a willing participant and never grew tired of serving the science munity. Giving scientists the map for learning how and when the brain forms memories is Henrys greatest contribution. This is the priceless gift that wont easily be forgotten. 36.

CManufacturers, sellers, and advertisers love to tell us that advertising will save us money. They are always convincing us that placing ads in and on everything from video games to toilet paper will save consumers money through the theory that the advertising pays the cost of part of the item or the service, allowing the seller or provider to charge less than they otherwise would. Nonsense!A couple of years ago, I planned to buy a Kindle （一种电子书阅读器）. I decided to choose the one with the ads or “Special Offers” as Amazon called it, due to the overall purchase price, which was lower, and the promises of money-saving offers and in addition, I would have to accept the basic ads. Well, things were good for about six months. I did indeed receive some offers such as $10 off a $50 purchase, or the opportunity to buy certain books for only $1. Then the offers dried up when the Kindle Fire came out. Suddenly the majority of the special offers were restricted to（限于）Kindle Fire owners. Now there are very few offers for them, either. The only things I now receive are true ads: Things for me to look at, but which hold no value for me at all. The advertising I ever allowed because I thought it was supposed to be a benefit to me is no longer benefiting me. Frankly, it makes me mad. I fell for the “Advertising will save you money” strategy that so many sellers like to throw around. I did my research and thought that it would be different with the Kindle. But it wasnt. Once they needed to sell a different product, those holding the older product got left behind. And now that they need to cut profit margins（利润率）, even those holding the newer product are not receiving the offers that came in the “heyday（全盛期）” of the special offers. Sure, you pay a little bit less for the model that displays ads, but beyond that the money-saving aspect is long gone. 46. The author thinks ads _.A. wont bring customers good value as describedB. actually benefit the producers in many waysC. cant make targeted customers know the goodsD. pay for services for the customers in new ways47. Why did the author choose to buy the Kindle with the ads?A. Because of his faith in the quality of the goods.B. Because other customers remended it strongly.C. Because he was persuaded by the shopkeeper.D. Because of the attractive prices and promised offers.48. Through the experience of buying the Kindle, the author realized that _.A. customers just need to receive and enjoy the ads at homeB. the prices offered in the ads were a good value for customersC. ads wouldnt always bring customers expected benefitsD. the higher the prices, the better the quality49. The underlined words “fell for” in the last paragraph mean _.A. behaved well to make somebody believe somethingB. was tricked into believing something that was not trueC. was encouraged to buy or to use new productsD. did something in the same way as someone else did50. By writing the text, the author mainly wants to _.A. expose the lies behind the special pricesB. find more strategies to resist the mean sellersC. warn us not to believe what attractive ads say D. tell us we can save money after choosing special offersDForced to give up her little baby for adoption, Sue Farrell was always haunted by the pain, which inspired her to bee a foster（代养）mother later on, since the pain of that separation never left her. It seemed only in this way can the pain be lightened. “My experience was the reason why I was so motivated to bee a foster carer. I wanted to give the care that I hoped my son had had when I was forced to give him away to the children who need it.” She said. Now, after devoting half her life to unwanted children, the great woman and her husband John are believed to have had the countrys largest foster family in Britain. They have fostered 100 children since 1984, offering long-term day care for children at their home. Mrs. Farrell said, “Its been a way of life. They all bee part of the family and my life. They start thanking you years later. If we get a knock on the door one day, therell be someone standing there wanting to say thanks. I never forget any of them.” The loving foster mum says she never forgets the children she cared for. Though having another two children of their own, the Farrells never gave up looking for their long-lost son, Stuart. And hard work pays off. They found him. As a father of two now, the bank manager enjoys regular contact with the whole family. The couple are due to receive their award from Coventry KEEP program for their selflessness, which supports carers to help them manage childrens behavior.Fostering is certainly a family tradition for Mrs. Farrell. As well as her grandmother offering care, Mrs. Farrells mother also offered a home to homeless children. She cared for 12 as a long-term foster carer from 1978 until 1993. Mrs. Farrell hopes her experiences will encourage others to step forward, and there will be more and more foster carers in her country. So these unwanted children can benefit a lot. 51. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?A. The pain kept ing to Sues mind and she couldnt forget it.B. Sue was always troubled by something that never really existed.C. Sue was interested in adopting unwanted little babies.D. The regretful feeling kept appearing on Sues face.52. What drove Mrs. Farrell to begin fostering?A. The tradition of fostering in her family.B. Heartbreak she suffered from when giving away her baby. C. The wish to bee Britains largest foster family.D. Her own experience as a homeless child.53. From Paragraph 3, we can know that _.A. The son named Stuart is the Farrells only childB. Sue Farrell would like to give care to unwanted childrenC. Sue Farrell was in charge of Coventry KEEP programD. Sue Farrell managed to find their long-lost son54. Which of the following is TRUE?A.

Sue threw herself heart and soul into the foster childrenD. the couple aimed to win awards from Coventry KEEP program第II卷（非选择题，共35分）请将答案写在答题纸上第三部分：写作第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，并根据题目要求用英语回答问题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。From the moment were born, we begin to die, but death is actually a fairly new invention. As a natural way of life, death has been around for only a small percentage of the time that life has been on our planet. Our planet is about 4.6 billion years old. Life began about 3.8 billion years ago. For most of those 3.8 billion years, living creatures were immortal (不死的), and did not die. From 3.8 billion years ago to one billion years ago, each living creature was made up of a single cell. A single-celled creature would grow to a certain size, and then split into two, and each of those two cells would then keep on growing until they divided and so forth. These single-celled creatures would never die of old age. They might die from being run over by a rolling stone, or from being eaten by another bigger single-celled creature, but apart from that they would not die. But about 1 billion years ago, some of the single-celled beings evolved into creatures with many different types of cells. These new creatures had some cells for thinking, other cells for moving, other cells for digestion, and so on. And at the same time, death was born. It seems strange, but there actually are a few advantages of dyingat least, as far as the species is concerned. Firstly, an immortal species cant adapt to any changes in the environment. Only their children, with a slightly different DNA, can. Another disadvantage of immortality is that the parents and their kids would be fighting for the same amount of food. And thirdly, the DNA of these immortal creatures would constantly be damaged by radiation from space, and chemicals in the environment, leading to more shortings in the eggs carried by the mother. 56. What does the writer mean by saying that death is a new invention? (No more than 20 words)57. What does the word “evolved” underlined in Paragraph 3 mean? (No more than 2 words)58. Do single-celled creatures die? If so, what do they die from? (No more than 15words)59. According to the passage, whats the
