More often than not, my stories are pieced together, written, and edited in a series of _36_ moments. If Im working while the kids are home, I have the added _37_ of tuning out their chaos. Ill write and write until I fall under a spell, and just when I was getting _38_, it happens-Camille will _39_ into my office wearing a big smile-and a smelling diaper (尿布).I wish I had a daily _40_, a solid time no one can interrupt, but I dont. I may go days or even weeks without writing. I hate these _41_, but much as I like to believe the world needs my writing, my daughters need me much more. So for now I write when I can. While this arrangement works, I sometimes _42_ how productive Id be if my life wasnt stop-and-go. With time on my side, I could be a writing machine, _43_ at once what would normally take me months. This leads me to a question I find _44_ to all parents: Do kids hold back or _45_ our dreams? Children are needy by nature, and regardless of how much _46_ we show them, they want more. By the time we tend to them, were tired out-and _47_ in the mood to follow our dream. They push our personal pleasures _48_ and slow us down, making tortoises out of hares. On the other hand, children add a richness to our lives that I believe inspires better work, thus _49_ for time we lose. As a writer, I dont find inspiration sitting at my puter. _50_, I find it when Im out living, and the _51_ I take because of my children-going to the ballpark, birthday parties, even doctor visits-put me in _52_ with people who constantly set off new ideas. Many ideas arise through _53_ conversation, which can _54_ me like thunder. Immediately, Ill make a mental note, knowing that someday Ill use that _55_ in a story.36. A. quietB. stolenC. criticalD. precious37. A. courageB. challengeC. instructionD. priority38. A. directionB. inventionC. inspirationD. application39. A. crawlB. runC. jogD. tiptoe40.

For administrators, it is something else entirely: a device that lets them use radio frequency technology-with scanners tucked behind walls and ceilings-to track her whereabouts. Anson Jones is the first school in San Antonios Northside Independent School District to roll out the new nametags, which are part of a pilot program (试验项目) intended to ensure that the district receives all of the state dollars. In Texas, school finance is a numbers game: schools receive money based on the number of students counted in their homeroom classes each morning. At Anson Jones, as at other schools, many students were in school but not in homeroom, so they were not counted and the district lost money, said Pascual Gonzalez, a spokesman for the district. “We were leaving money on the table,” he said, adding that the district expects a $2 million return on an initial investment of $261,000 in the technology at two pilot schools. But the radio frequency identification nametags have prompted concerns from civil liberties groups and electronic privacy watchdogs, which fear a Big Brother atmosphere in Texas public schools. Matthew Simpson, a policy strategist for the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, said the technology was easy to acquire, meaning people outside a school might be able to monitor a student if they obtained the students unique tracking number. Mr. Simpson said the technology was originally designed for shipping goods and for cattle. “It was never intended for people,” he said. But students and educators at Anson Jones say they are excited about the practical advantages - getting to eat lunch faster by scanning their bar codes in the lunch line, or being able to locate a child quickly in an emergency. Northside is not the first district to use the tracking devices. Two Houston-area districts began the program several years ago. The Spring district, for example, started using the technology in xx as a way to track elementary students getting on and off buses. It expanded the program to high school students three years ago and has so far recovered $400,000, said Karen Garrison, a spokeswoman for the district. “Our system still focuses on safety but has the added benefit of recovering average daily attendance funding,” Ms. Garrison said. Wendy Reyes, the principal of Anson Jones, said only one parent had plained about the program at her school. On the first day of classes at Jay High School, home to the other pilot program school in Northside, several parents staged a protest across the street from the school, though most did not have students in the district. Many students, teachers and parents at the middle school feel the technologys benefits outweigh privacy concerns, Ms. Reyes said. 56. This passage is mainly about _.A. a pilot program in the USB. an eighth grader at Anson JonesC. nametags that track studentsD. money invested in technology57. From the passage we can learn that most students and parents _ nametags.A. dont mindB. plain aboutC. like to decorateD. refuse to use58.

So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors- or doesnt it? While such tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly. With the percentage of people over age 65 expected to nearly double by 2050, it s important to weigh the health benefits of screening against the risks and costs of routine testing. In many cases, screening can lead to additional examinations and operations to remove cancer, which can cause side effects, while the cancers themselves may be slow-growing and may not cause serious health problems in patients remaining years. But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has bee so ingrained (根深蒂固的) that when health care experts remended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a noisy reaction among doctors, patients and social groups. Its hard to uproot deeply-held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data. Certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment. And clearly, people over age 75 who have other risk factors for cancer, such as a family history or previous personal experience with the disease, should continue to get screened regularly. But for the rest, the risk of cancer, while increased at the end of life, must be balanced with other factors like remaining life expectancy. A recent study suggests that doctors start to make more objective decisions about who will truly benefit from screening-especially considering the explosion of the elderly. Its not an easy calculation to make, but one that makes sense for patients. Dr. Otis Brawley said, “Many doctors are ordering these tests purely to cover themselves from medical disputes. We need to think about the wise use of health care, which means making some difficult decisions with elderly patients, and going against the misguided belief that when it es to health care, more is always better.”63. Routine cancer screening for the elderly people makes sense because _. A. it is believed to contribute to a long life B. it is part of their health care packageC. they are more sensitive about the health D. they are in greater danger of tumor growth64. How do some researchers now look at routine cancer screening for the elderly?A. It adds too much to their medical bills.B. They are doubtful about its necessity.C. It helps increase their life expectancy.D. They think it does more harm than good. 65. What is the traditional view about women screening for breast cancer?A. It is a must for adult women. B. It applies to women over 50. C. It is intended for young women.D. It doesnt apply to women over 74. 66. What does the writer say is the general view about health care?A. Better care, longer life.B. Prevention is better than cure.C. Better early than late.D. The more, the better. DIt has been said that “Happiness is like a butterfly which, when run after，is always beyond our grasp，but which，if you sit down quietly，may dance beside you.”Social scientists have caught the butterfly. After 40 years of research，they find happiness results from three major origins：genes(基因)，events and values. Armed with this knowledge and a few simple rules，we can improve our lives and the lives of those around us. We can even construct a system that carries out our founders promises and gives Americans the power to seek happiness.Scientists have studied happiness for decades. They begin simply enoughby asking people how happy they are.The data available to social scientists is the University of Chicagos General Social Survey，a survey of Americans conducted since 1972.The numbers on happiness from the survey are surprisingly similar. Every other year for four decades，about a third of Americans have said theyre “very happy” and about half report being “pretty happy.” Only about 10 to 15 percent typically say theyre “not too happy.” Scientists have used advanced techniques to check these responses，and such survey results have proved accurate.Beneath these averages are some differences. For many years，researchers found that women were happier than men，although recent studies show that the gap has narrowed or may even have changed to the opposite. Politicians might be interested to learn that traditional women feel particularly happy：about 40 percent say they are very happy. That makes them slightly happier than traditional men and obviously happier than openminded women. The unhappiest of all are openminded men；only about a fifth consider themselves very happy.But even the people of the same age，sex，and so on vary in their happiness. What explains this?The first answer involves our genes. Researchers at the University of Minnesota have tracked twins who were separated as babies and raised by separate families. These researchers found that we receive a surprising part of our happinessaround 48 percent from parents.(Since I discovered this，Ive been blaming my parents for my bad moods.)If about half of our happiness is determined by our genes，what about the other half？Its attractive to suppose that onetime eventslike getting a dream job or receive an unexpected giftwill permanently bring the happiness we seek. And studies suggest that such events do control a big part of our happinessup to 40 percent.But while onetime events do govern a fair amount of our happiness，each events influence proves rather shortlived. People suppose that major changes like moving to California or getting a big raise will make them permanently better off. They wont. Huge goals may take years of hard work to meet，and the struggle itself may be worthwhile，but the happiness they create dissipates after just a few months.To review：About half of happiness is genetically determined. Up to an additional 40 percent es from the things that have occurred in our recent pastbut that wont last very long.That leaves just about 12 percent. That might not sound like much，but the good news is that we can bring that 12 percent under our control. It turns out that choosing to seek four basic values of faith，family，munity and work is the surest path to happiness, given that a certain percentage is genetic and not under our control in any way. To go after the happiness within our reach，we do best to devote ourselves to faith，family，munity and meaningful work.67. The first paragraph of the passage serves as _A. a description of a scene B. an introduction to the topicC. an analysis of a research project D. an explanation of an old saying68. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5 that _A. most Americans feel unhappy B. women are always happier than menC. about 40%of American women are very happy D. traditional men are happier than openminded women69. The underlined word“dissipates”(Paragraph 9) probably means _A. disappear B. return C. occur D. last70. The main purpose of this passage is to _A. stress the importance of happiness B. clarify the causes of lasting happinessC. advocate the ways of seeking happiness D. show the results of the study on happiness第四部分 任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) On my first job as sports editor for Leader Enterprise, I didnt get a lot of fan mail, so I was attracted by a letter that was dropped on my desk one morning.When I opened it, I read:“ A nice piece of writing on the Tigers.
