When Doctor Gibbs wasnt saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting theories about planting trees. He hardly watered his new trees.Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants damaged them because it made them growweaker. He said he had to make things difficult for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water.So, instead of watering his trees every morning, hed beat them with a rolled up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees attention.Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Sometimes I walked by his house and looked at the trees Id watched him plant 25 years ago. They were tall and strong.I planted several trees myself a few years ago. Two years of caring for these trees meant they grew up weakly. Whenever a cold wind blew, my trees trembled. Adversity seemed to benefit Doctor Gibbs trees in ways fort and ease never could.Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often pray that their lives will be easy. But lately Ive been thinking that its time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to experience difficulties. Theres always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we wont be torn apart.21.How did the author feel about Doctor Gibbss planting trees at first?A. Great.B. Impractical.C. shocked.D. Puzzled.22.What did Doctor Gibbs do to the trees he planted?A. He let them grow quickly.B. He beat them to get their attention.C. He helped them search for water.D. He read a newspaper near them.23.What does the word Adversity in paragraph 5 mean?A. Bad weather.B. A shortage of water.C. Enough care or attention.D. Difficult living conditions.24. What does the author learn from Doctor Gibbs?A.Elders are treasures.B. Two heads are better than one.C. No pain, no gain.D. Only those who bear the most bee the highest.B.A lifetime of active exercise will let you keep the body of a 20-year-old well into your 70s, scientists have found.The physical decline (衰退) thought to be an unavoidable part of ageing is actually the result of notexercising enough, according to the research, which found that regular cyclists kept the muscles, lungs, and even the immune system (免疫系统) of people years younger. Besides, many serious health problems could be prevented if people became more active, researchers insist.Janet Lord, a leading researcher, said, “Our findings prove the false belief that ageing automatically makes us weaker. We now have strong evidence that encouraging people to do regular exercise throughout their lives can solve the problem that we are living longer but not healthier.”She looked at 125 cyclists aged 55 to 79 who had been exercising regularly for 25 years and pared them with 75 ordinary people of a similar age and 55 people aged 20 to 36. On a series of physical measures, the cyclists showed no difference from people much younger in their immune systems and making T cells.Now Professor Lord aims to discover how much exercise people need to do to stay young. “You neednt work out a lot. It may be intensity (强度) that helpslike going up and down the stairs ten times a day.”While there is no magic method of staying mentally and physically fit in later life, the benefits of keeping active can never be ignored, whatever your age or state of health.25. According to the research, what is the reason for physical decline?A.The failure of lungs.B. The poor state of health.C. The increase of physical activity.D. The lack of regular exercise.26. Which of the following statements would Professor Lord probably agree with?A.Ageing automatically makes people increasingly weaker.B. People need a large amount of exercise to stay young.C. The intensity of exercise matters in slowing down ageing.D. What people need to stay fit in later life is a magic method.27. What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To stress the importance of being physically active.B. To explain the effects of the immune system.C. To introduce the ways to stay fit.D. To discuss the benefits of regular cycling.CWe bet that on cold winter days, many of you love to stay in your warm home and, every now and then, e out into the kitchen for a snack. Unfortunately, plenty of small insects like to do the same thing! Winter is the time when small insects enter your house without an invitation. The season can be difficult for such creatures. In winter the air is cold, the ground is hard and many trees have no leaves. Sosmall insects do what they have to do to survive.Monarch butterflies head south to warmer climates. Ants crowd in deep underground colonies and eat food they have been storing all year. Many insects go into a deep sleep called diapauses. Therere different kinds of diapauses, but all are similar to hibernation, a time when bigger animals bee inactive in the cold. Insects go into an inactive period, too, but it often isnt when the temperature drops.They rely on more dependable signals in the environment. For example, many insects can tell how much sunlight theres each day. They use that to tell themselves when to shut down. Insects are cold-blooded, meaning that their inside temperature is the same as the outside. They cant move much when it gets below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. So they search for any warm place.Theyre looking for protection. These guys have been doing this for 300 million years, so they dont really know theyre ing into your house. The home is a recent event in terms of their evolutionary (进 化的) behavior. They enter through tiny cracks or e in unnoticed on your clothes or shoes. Remember that they may be entering your homes for warmth and food, but they dont care about humans.28. What often decides insects diapauses?A. The lower local temperature.B. The amount of sunlight.C. The insects inside temperature.D. Kinds of environmental signals.29. According to the text, insects enter humans homes to.A. seek for protectionB. look for enough foodC. attack humansD. show their evolutionary results30. What would be the best title for the text?A. Insects life on cold winter days.B. Good relations between humans and insects.C. Why do insects go into your home in winter?D. What does diapause mean?第2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。 Four Ways to Give Truly Meaningful GiftsBuying someone you love a gift that expresses your truest feelings isnt always easy. But when you get it right, the joy they show is worth it. 31 Listen up.While you may think its a great idea to surprise someone by giving them something you think is meaningful, its best to get them exactly what they have told you. For example, you heard friends say they wanted the newest bike but you bought them a gym membership instead. 32 So get them what theyve specially asked for. 33 In the spirit of showing love, we might go big. However, we may not be thinking of what really makes the person happy. You might think buying your father the latest TV is perfect, but then when you get it home, it lights up the living room like a stadium and is totally wrong for the space. So think smart.Keep it open.Many of us may consider giving cash impersonal（没人情味的）. But this may save you some concern. The receiver can be allowed to choose whatever they want. In a recent survey of over 7,000 Black Friday shoppers, 39 percent said the receiver they were shopping for was “picky（挑剔）”. 34 Create an experience.Visit websites where you can get the latest tickets for a play, buy a surf lesson, or even something unexpected like a flight lesson. 35 For example, if your kids are into NASCAR, just imagine the look on their faces when you score them a ride at a race car driving school. So give them a time that they will remember to heart.A. Ignore the size.B. Go for something big.C. Well, that was the wrong move.D .If possible, cut down the cost of the gifts.E. These are things that can create a lasting memory.F. Heres how to discover a gift your receiver will love.G. So save yourself the second guess and give cash instead.第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分 60 分）第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 完形ALast weekend I took a bus to New York City.
