My brother is a rare kind of guy. He’s smart and kind. And my friends say he’s lovely. But it’s how he handles things and how he treats his friends and his family that make me feel more proud. He applied to 14 colleges. He was accepted by all but one, the one he wanted, Brown University. So he took his second choice, and off he went to a first year. When he came home for summer vacation, he said he’d move to Rhode Island near Brown, find a job, and do whatever he could to become known in the area. He’d work his heart out and do his best at everything. Someone, he was sure, would notice. This was a big deal for my parents as it meant agreeing to a year without college. But they trusted him and encouraged him to do whatever he thought it would take to realize his dream. It wasn't long before he was hired as an amateur(业余的)play director at Brown. Now was his chance to shine, and shine he did. He put every bit of himself into the job. He met teachers and school officials, talked to everyone about his dream and never hesitated to tell them what he was after. And, sure enough, at the end of the year, when he reapplied to Brown, he was accepted. We were all happy, but for me the happiness went very deep. I had learned an important -1- lesson — a lesson no one could have taught me with words. If I work hard for what I want, and if I keep trying after I've been turned down, my dreams can also come true. This is a gift I still hold in my heart. 1、My brother had many good qualities.（ ） A: True B: False C: Not Given 2、Only one university accepted my brother.（ ） A: True B: False C: Not Given 3、My brother's first year at college was terrible.（ ） A: True B: False C: Not Given 4、My brother would like to find a job in Rhode Island.（ ） A: True B: False C: Not Given 5、My parents disagreed with my brother’s plan.（ ） A: True B: False C: Not Given 6、My brother took every opportunity to promote himself.（ ） A: True B: False C: Not Given 7、My brother never told anyone what he was after.（ ） A: True -2- B: False C: Not Given 8、My brother applied to Brown University three times.（ ） A: True B: False C: Not Given 9、My brother set a good example for me.（ ） A: True B: False C: Not Given 10、I wanted to go to college, too.（ ） A: True B: False C: Not Given 第二部分：阅读选择（第 11-15 题，每题 2 分，共 10 分 ） 阅读下面短文，请从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A 、B 、C 、D) 中选出一个最佳选项 。并 在答题卡相应位置上将该项涂黑。 People born in autumn live longer than those born in spring and are less likely to fall chronically(慢性地) ill when they are in their old age, according to an Austrian scientist. Based on census(人口普查) data collected from more than one million people in Austria, Denmark and Australia, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in the northern German town of Rostock found the month of birth was related to life span over the age of 50. Seasonal differences in what mothers ate during pregnancy and infections(感染)occurring at different times of the year could have an impact on the health of a new-born baby and affect its life span in old age. "A mother giving birth in spring spends the last phase of her pregnancy in winter, when she will eat less vitamins than in summer”, said Gabriele Doblhammer, one of a team of scientists who carried out the research, "The mother stops -3- breast-feeding and starts giving her baby normal food in the hot weeks of summer. Then, the baby is prone to infections of the digestive system." In Austria adults born in autumn lived about seven months longer than those born in spring; in Denmark adults with birthdays in autumn outlived those born in spring by about four months. In the southern part of the Earth, the picture was similar. Adults born in the Australian autumn lived about four months longer than those born in the Australian spring. Based on death certificates and census data the study focused on people born at the beginning of the 20th century. Doblhammer said that the seasonal pattern persists, although nutrition at all times of the year has improved since then. 11、The Demographic Research was based on the census data for more than one million people in（ ）. A: Denmark, Austria and Australia B: Austria,Australia and Germany C: Australia, Germany and Denmark D: Germany,Austria and Denmark 12、Food taken by mothers（ ）may affect one's life span. A: after giving birth B: at different seasons C: during pregnancy D: in the last period of pregnancy 13、The clause"the picture was similar"probably means（ ）. A: people in Australia prefer scenery in autumn to that in spring B: people born in theAustralian autumn outlive those in the Australian spring C: scenery in theAustralian autumn is better than that in theAustralian spring D: scenery in theAustralian autumn is the same as that in theAustralian spring 14、It can be inferred that Gabriele Doblhammer still believes（ ）. A: women in pregnancy eat more in spring than in autumn B: women prefer to give birth in autumn rather than in spring C: people born in autumn cannot outlive those born in spring -4- D: people born in autumn live longer than those born in spring 15、The best title of this passage would be（ ）. A: Life Span and Diseases B: Life Span and the Health of Mother C: People Born in Spring Live Longer D: People Born in Autumn Live Longer 第三部分： 概括段落大意和补全句子（第 16-25 题，每题 1 分，共 10 分） 阅读下面短文，请完成短文后的 2 项测试任务：(1)从 从 16-19 题后所给的 6 个选项中为第 1-4 段每段选择 1 个正确的小标题； (2)从 从 20-25 题后所给的 6 个选项中选择 5 个正确 选项，分别完成每个句子 。在答题卡相应位置上将答案选项涂黑 。 How to Forgive, Forget and Let Go 1 Forgiving someone does not mean releasing them from an earlier guilt. What if the person who wronged you is not living? What if the person is someone who made you extremely embarrassed during school 20 or 30 years ago? Letting go of emotional pain does not mean that nothing happened; it means that you no longer want to be controlled by it. 2 Recognize that forgiveness is not denial. Whatever caused the pain was a real incident. Denying that it happened means it is too painful to work through the emotions. There is no timeline on forgiveness. Some steps take longer to get through, and it is acceptable to set them aside for a period of time. Part of forgiveness is understanding whether or not someone takes responsibility for what happened, and may even show regret. 3 Understand that not everyone who forgives reconciles with the person who caused the pain.There are relationships that are harmful and even physically dangerous. While it is possible to forgive the past and move beyond it, it may also mean that the person who was involved can no longer play an active role in your life. If a person or situation is not safe, it may be best not to reconcile the relationship now. Work on forgiveness at a time when you are emotionally healthy and physically safe. -5- 4 Make a conscious decision to forgive someone. Even if they never apologize for what happened, determine within yourself that it is fine to proceed without this apology. Apologies should not be asking for forgiveness. Apologies should be offered as an effort of true regret. They should be admitting that taking personal responsibility for the situation is important. Even without that apology, make up your mind to forgive, forget, and eventually let go. Task 1 16、Paragraph 1 （ ） 17、Paragraph 2 （ ） 18、Paragraph 3 （ ） 19、Paragraph 4 （ ） A: Forgiving should be at safe time. B: Forgiving is not to deny what happened. C: Forgiving is not to free someone from blame. D: Forgiving can happen without an apology. E: Forgiving can lead us away from the past hurt. Task 2 20、You may forgive someone（ ）. 21、There is no fixed time（ ）. 22、Even if you've forgiven someone,（ ）. 23、Don't rush to forgive those（ ）. 24、Some people apologize merely（ ）. 25、If you expect an apology, （ ）. A: you may not become friends B: to offer forgiveness C: who are still dangerous to you D: who wronged you long time ago E: you may never get rid of emotional pain -6- F: who only forgive those showing regret G: for being forgiven 第四部分：填句补文（第 26-30 题，每题 2 分，共 10 分） 下面的短文有五处空白，短文后有六个句子，其中五个取自短文，请根据短文内容将其分别 放回原有位置，以恢复文章原貌 ，并 在答题卡相应位置上将答案选项涂黑 。 选文出自教材 P105 Critical Reading Critical reading applies to non-fiction writing in which the author puts forth a position or seeks to make a statement.
