As we were leaving, we found that onlyminutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there wasbloodeverywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, its not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower.“It will make her feel better,”he said. I was amazed that hed e up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we couldbuya flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I cant take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son becameintimidatedby all thebloodand medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the flower to thewomans husband and told him, “ My son wasvery upset for your wife and wanted to give her thisflower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mothers Day to you.” The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, tellingherwho it was from.

I was amazed that hed e up with such a sweet idea.可知Tenyson建议为摔倒的老人买花，我很支持他。故B项正确。26. 猜测词义题。根据划线词后y all thebloodand medical equipment中的“血和医疗设备”可知推测，通常孩子对这类东西都很害怕。所以该词意为“frightened”。故A项正确。27. 主旨大意题。本文是一篇记叙文，作者和儿子在商店里遇见了一位妻子和丈夫在超市购物摔倒在地，儿子主动买花安慰老人，作者非常高兴。所以B项中“Flower Power”和文章主旨一致。CHey, ladies!

And any person who doesnt think so is just not as strong as you.Nowadays we are so prone to do anything and everything to make us look as young and perfect as possible.

What kind of twisted（扭曲的）game are we really playing with ourselves?So I would like to make a suggestion for all women out there to give yourself a break at least this summer. Take a couple of pictures without all of that make-up on. You dont need it every single day, especially not this hot summer! Youll be surprised that the more confident you are about showing the real side of you, the more attractive you will be to everyone else.Yes, the saying, “Beauty es from within” is an old one, definitely still holds some troth today.

They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment. They pay $5 for a caramel brulee latte because they like expensive coffee drinks. Its undeniable that behavior es from our inner dispositions（性情）, but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern, by observing our own behavior. We can be strangers to ourselves. If we knew our own minds, why should we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book, we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes. Actually, we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are. Moreover, we dont just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character - we infer characters that werent there before. Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us, which we fail to recognize.Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didnt.Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us. We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition. Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people bee what they do, though it may not be in pliance（符合）with their true desires. Therefore, we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonneguts advice: “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”32. According to the passage, personalities and attitudes are monly believed to _.A. determine ones behaviorB. reflect ones tasteC. influence ones surroundingsD. result from ones habits33. Which of the following would Daryl Bern most probably agree with?A. A kind person will offer his seat to the oldB. One buys latte out of true love of coffeeC. One recycles plastics to protect the environmentD. The return of a wallet can indicate ones honesty34. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?A. We fail to realize our inner dispositionsB. We can be influenced by outside pressuresC. Our behavior is the result of our true desiresD. Our characters can shape our social relationships35. What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?A. Personalities and attitudes B. Preferences and habitsC. Behavior and personalities D. Attitudes and preferences【答案】32-35 ADBC【解析】32. A细节理解题。根据第一段Its generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes.可知，人格和态度通常被认为会决定一个人的行为。故选A。33. D推理判断题。根据第二段Its undeniable that behavior es from our inner dispositions（性情）, but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern, by observing our own behavior.可知，我们的行为来自于我们的内在倾向，所以可以推断出，返还一个钱包可以表明一个人的诚实。故选D。34. B词句猜测题。根据第三段Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didnt.（也许我们回收，因为我们的妻子和邻居会反对，如果我们没有。）可知，我们可能会受到外界压力的影响。故选B。35. C主旨大意题。本文主要讨论了行为和个性之间的关系。故选C。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。 Creativity is a skill that you can work on with time, training, and effort.

I myself went through this _41_ process and found something that has changed my _42_ at college for the better: I discovered ASLAmerican Sign Language (美式英语).I never felt an urge to _43_ any sign language before. My entire family is hearing, and so are all my friends. The _44_ languages were enough in all my interactions (交往). Little did I know that I would discover my _45_ for ASL.The _46_ began during my first week at college. I watched as the ASL Club _47_ their translation of a song. Both the hand movements and the very _48_ of municating without speaking _49_ me. What I saw was pletely unlike anything I had experienced in the _50_. This newness just left me _51_ more.After that, feeling the need to _52_ further. I decided to drop in on one of ASL clubs meetings. I only learned how to _53_ the alphabet that day. Yet instead of being discouraged by my _54_ progress, I was excited. I then made it a point to _55_ those meetings and learn all I could.The following term, I _56_ an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking was _57_. I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant. _58_, if there had been any talking, it would have _59_ us to learn less.

B 60. D【解析】41. A我自己经历了这个探索的过程。根据前文While high school does not generally encourage students to explore new aspects of life, college sets the stage for that exploration可知大学为探索提供了平台，所以这里指的是作者“探索”的过程。searching寻找的，探索的；planning计划的； natural自然的；formal正式的。故选A。42. B我发现有些东西改变了我的大学生活经历。progress进步； experience经历； major主修课目； opinion观点。故选B。43. C我以前从没有过学习手语的冲动。choose选择；read看，读； learn学习；create创造。故选C。44. D 根据前文My entire family is hearing, and so are all my friends.可知，作者的家人及朋友都可以听得到，作者认为在平时的交流中，再加上肢体语言就足够了。official官方的；foreign外国的；body肢体的；spoken口语的； 故选D。45. A我没想过我会发现自己对美式手语的热爱。前文中I never felt an urge to learn any sign language before作者表明以前从未想过学习手语，而根据后文内容可知作者非常喜欢手语。love热爱；concern关心，顾虑；goal目标；request请求。故选A。46. C故事发生在我上大学的第一周，这里作者开始讲述在大学学习手语的事情。meeting会议；trip旅行；story故事；task任务。故选C。47. B在ASL 俱乐部表演一首歌的翻译时，我正观看着。分析可知ASL 俱乐部是手语俱乐部，应该是在用手语表演一首歌。record记录；perform表现，表演；recite背诵；discuss讨论。故选B。48. A手部的动作和不用语言进行交流的想法吸引了我。作者当时在看手语表演，而手语就是为了想借助手势进行交流。idea想法；amount数量；dream梦想；reason原因。故选A。49. D分析语境可知ASL 俱乐部的表演吸引了作者，否则作者也不会去学习手语。disturb打扰；support支持；embarrass使.难堪；attract吸引。故选D。50. B我所看到的和我在过去经历的事情完全不同。 end结束，末尾；past过去；course课程；distance距离。固定短语in the past在过去 故选B。51. D这种新奇的感觉使我想了解更多。分析语境可知作者被手语吸引，想要进一步了解，所以也有了后文中的参加手语俱乐部的会议上手语课的经历。show展示；act行动；say说；want想要。故选D。52. B在那之后，我感觉到想要探索更多关于手语的东西，我参加了ASL 俱乐部的一次会议。exercise锻炼；explore探索；express表达；explain解释。故选B。53. C那天我只学会了写字母表。作者第一次参加手语俱乐部的会议，学会的应该是最基本的写字母表。当然，打印字母表、在字母表上签名、数字母表和学习手语都没有联系。print打印；write写；sign签名；打手势；count数。故选C。54. A我并没有因为缓慢的进步而沮丧，相反我很兴奋。因为作者只学会了写字母表，所以进步是很慢的。slow缓慢的；steady平稳的； normal正常的；obvious明显的。故选A。55. C我下定决心参加俱乐部所有的会议去学习我能学习的一切。chair主持；使入座；sponsor赞助 ；attend参加；organize组织。attend meeting参加会议。故选C。56. D接下来的一个学期，我报名上了一个手语班。miss错过，想；念pass通过；give up放弃；register for报名注册。故选D。57. A教授的耳朵听不见，任何口语交流都是禁止的。根据后文if there had been any talking可知在课堂上没有口语交流。prohibit禁止；wele欢迎；ignore忽视；repeat重复。故选A。58. C反而，如果当时有口语交流，那只会造成我们学的手语更少。根据前文I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant.可知作者很快意识到安静并不是令人不愉快的。反而有口语交流会影响手语的学习。lastly最后，终于；thus因此；如；instead反而；however然而。故选C。59. B如果当时有口语交流，那只会造成我们学的手语更少。require要求；cause造成 ；allow允许；expect期待。故选B。60. D现在我很感激当时的安静并且享受它带来的一种新的交流方式。由此可知手语对于作者来说是一种新的交流方式。easy简单的；popular受欢迎的；quick快速的 ；new新的。故选D。第 II 卷第三部分 英语知识运用第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。I first met Steve Jobs years ago at a yard pool party.
