The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life. They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages. Let me tell you about Tyler.Tyler was born infected with HIV: his mother was also infected.From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications to enable him to survive.When he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest.This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back. Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream.At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.Tyler wasnt willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease.It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine-laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon.All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him.Tylers mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast that she needed to dress him in red.That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly spot him.This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo (精力充沛的人) like Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIV-infected mother.When it became apparent that he wasnt going to survive, Tylers mom talked to him about death.She forted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven.A few days before his death, Tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and whispered, “I might die soon.Im not scared.When I die, please dress me in red.Mom promised shes ing to heaven, too.Ill be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me.”24. What is the boys trouble after his birth according to the passage? A. Being deafB. Being blind.C. Being infected with HIVD. Being disabled.25. Why does the author think the relationships with the children are gifts? Because he _.A. made friends with the childrenB. was deeply movedC. leaned a great deal from themD. hod a lot of sympathy for them26. What do we know from the passage?A. The boy could not breathe.B. The boy had trouble with breath.C. The boy stopped breathing at times.D. The boy breathed smoothly.27. Which of the follow might serve as a possible title for this passage?A. Mother and sonB. A caring motherC. Dying in redD. My unusual professionCYou know the saying Youre as young as you feel. Well, there may be some truth, according to researchers at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Ellen Langer, a Harvard psychologist who studies how the mind influences the body, and colleagues reviewed the scientific literature for evidence that a persons perception of their age might influence their health. They published their results in the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science.In one study that Langer led, 47 women had their hair done. The women who thought their new hairdos made them look younger did look younger to objective observers, who were shown before-and-after pictures. The women who thought they looked younger also showed a drop in blood pressure. Another study involving 4,421 men found that thise who became bald(秃顶)at a relatively young age were more likely to get cancer and heart disease than men who did not. Similarly, another study involving 2,017 men found that those who lost their hair early were more likely to develop heart disease. “We believe that the feelings associated with being older than ones real age account for some of these health outes,” the researchers wrote.The researchers also described studies that found that women who had children later in life were more likely to be healthier and live longer than those who had children early, which they attributed to the fact that these mothers tend to spend more time with younger women. Similarly, people who marry younger partners tend to live longer than those who marry older partners, according to other studies.Taken together, the research “supports the general mind-body hypothesis(假说)that when a younger mind is prepared, a younger body can acpany it.” While the mechanism remains unclear, the researchers figured that suggestions associated with aging can “make one unconsciously or consciously aware of old age and set in motion a series of physiological processes that can have real effects on short-term and long-term health.”28. The underlined word “perception” in Paragraph 2 means .A. view B. appearance C. Influence D. creation29. Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 3?A. Blood pressure is highly related to hairdos. B. Feeling older than real age may be tied to health problems.C. Getting cancer or heart disease is the cause of hair losing.D. The women who love hairdos look younger than those dont.30. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that .A. a younger mother is more likely to live longerB. the younger one of a couple lives much longerC. often staying with younger people can benefit peoples healthD. people who want to live longer need to marry at a young age31. The passage mainly tells us that .A. Getting bald too early is not good to marry youngB. Women had better give birth later in their lifeC. Feeling younger to a couple is very important to their healthD. Peoples feeling of their age may have an effect on their own healthDGlobal warming threatens to hold back human progress, and make unachievable all UN targets to reduce poverty, according to some of the worlds leading international and development groups. In a report published today, Oxfam, Greenpeace and other groups say rich governments must immediately address climate change to avoid even “unbearable levels” of worldwide poverty. “Food production, water supplies, public health and peoples livelihoods are already being damaged and weakened,” the report says. “There is no approach possible. The world must meet its mitments to achieve poverty reduction and also deal with climate change, which are closely linked.”The report, which draws on UN predictions of the effects of climate change in poor countries over the next 50 years, says poor countries will experience more flooding, declining food production, more disease and the extinction of entire eco-systems on which many of the worlds poorest people depend. “Climate change needs to be addressed now. The poor will bear the great consequence of it. The frontline experience of many of us working in international development indicates that munities are having to fight more extreme weather conditions.”Climate change will cause great damage to agriculture and water supplies and will increase diseases. “By 2025 the number of the worlds population living in countries of significant water stress will almost double, to 6 billion people. Tropical (热带的) and sub-tropical areas will be hardest hit those countries already suffering from food shortage”. Poor countries mostly do not need hi-tech solutions, but would most benefit from education, research and being shown how to farm better. The report says unchecked global warming, more than wars or political upheaval (政变), will displace millions of people and unsettle many countries.32. Which of the following is NOT related to global warming according to the passage?A. FitnessB. Food productionC. Water suppliesD. Farming33.What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. settleB. speakC. occupyD. write an address34.Where may the passage be taken from?A. A diaryB. A novel C. A magazineD. A news report35. Which of the following is the main topic discussed in the passage?A. Global warming: causing damage to agricultureB. Global warming: causing damage to water suppliesC. Global warming: a bigger threat to humansD. Global warming: a bigger threat to the poor第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。As CEO, you need to realize that each team member plays a role in your pany and each individual is part of the whole. If you want to work effectively, your team must be harmonious. Heres how:Build trust and respect. Make a team-oriented environment based on trust and respect without which there will only be limited success. A start-up is like a ship going through highuncertainty. The captain needs the trust of his team, because people follow trust and honesty,not a person. 36_Be true to your word. If you demand high productivity and quality work. youd better be as good as your word. You get what you give. 37 When team members notice that you are a reliable person, they will imitate your behavior38 If you want to improve teamwork, help people get to know each other better.Organize in-person meetings for all workers (all teams) at least once a year-more often if at all possible. Informal conversations bring people together and warm up human relationships. One option is to invite your team to play a game, like football or basket ball. If players want to win, they have to focus on cooperation. 39 Take advantage of conflict. 40 Somewhere, somehow, conflict will show up. When confrontation between employees gets out of hand in a start-up, the CEO must face it. Don t plicate the situation by deciding what is good or bad. Listen to all sides carefully and then talk to other team members who observed the quarrel. Brainstorming solutions favorable for both sides may even result in ideas that would never have e to mind without the conflict.A. Organize a meeting for all employees.B Lay stress on the importance of teamworkC. A good team will always be efficient and productive.D. There are no teams without occasional misunderstandingsE. If you promise to do something, be sure you will fulfill itF. Thus their pure characters are exposed and real relationships are builtG. The stronger the trust is. the better the team will navigate without the captain on board第三部分语言知识运用(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)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。Happy birthday!

People in some countries _49_ the aged as a source of _50_ and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at _51_”Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden.

However, dressed as a young person, she _57_ much more respect.Unfortunately, the _58_ population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living longer. _59_ babies are being born.
