三、完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）

A

A 6-year-old girl asked her mother , “ Can flowers speak ? ”

“ Oh , my dearie , if flowers can’t speak , how 36 the spring is , and who will look around it ? ”

The little girl smiled with 37.

At the age of 16 , the girl asked her father , “ Can the stars in the sky speak ? ”

“ Oh , my daughter , if the stars can speak , the sky will be noisy , and who will 38 for the peaceful heaven ? ”

The little girl smiled with satisfaction again .

At the age of 26 , the girl had become a mature female . One day she asked in 39 her husband , a diplomat , “ Was the way I 40 and spoke appropriate at the grand party last night ? ”

“ Great ! ” the diplomat had no 41 of flattering（恭维）, “ When you spoke , it was like the melodious music ; though you spoke so much , it was not 42 ; when you were silent , you were like a fragrant lotus flower ; though quiet , it involved everything … Sweetheart , can you tell me how you 43 it ? ”

His wife said with a smile , “ At the age of 6 , I learned from my mother as a teacher 44 to dialogue with nature . At the age of 16 , I learned from my father as a writer when to speak and when not . Before I 45 you , I learned from historians , philosophers , writers , musicians and diplomats what kind of speech I should 46 when I meet different kinds of people . Honey , I have also 47 thoughts , wisdom , courage and love from you ! ”

B

Life is short . Are you doing what you love ? Are you living your passion ?

If not , why ? I am guessing most people will answer that 48 with “ I have a mortgage（按揭）, and three kids to 49 . ” In the real world people have responsibilities . They have to make 50 . You aren’t supposed to be happy with your job but you do it because you have to .

To be frank , they are wrong . You can take 51 of your responsibilities and also be happy with your job . We spend over 1/3 of our day , at least five days a week 52 our jobs . This is a lot of time to be wasting on something we don’t 53 , is it not ? Why not spend that time doing something you truly are 54 about for 50 hours a week instead of something that lacks 55?

Love What You Do . Do What You Love .

四、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

请阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的A，B，C，D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

Dear Dad ,

Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father’s Day cards . They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you . Yet as I selected and read , it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you .

You’ll soon be 84 years old , Dad , and you and I will have had 55 Father’s Days together . I haven’t always been with you on Father’s Day but I’ve always been with you in my heart .

You know , Dad , there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap . You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other .

The Father-Daughter Duel shifted into high gear（档位）when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the 54 Chevy whether you liked it or not . The police officer who sent me home after you reported the Chevy stolen didn’t have much tolerance for a stubborn 16 year old , while you were so tolerant about it , Dad , and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life .

Our relationship picked up when I married a man you liked , and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left . Somewhere along the line , the generation gap disappeared . I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together , rather like a fine wine .

But the strangest thing happened last week . I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car . It didn’t immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car . It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere . Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day .

I guess what I’m trying to say , Dad , is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today . Honoring a father on Father’s Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking . It’s about loving someone more than words can say , and it’s wishing that it never had to end .

I love you , Dad .

Love ,

Jenny

56. What caused Jenny to write the letter ?

A. Getting along well with her father .

B. Being away on previous Father’s Day .

C. Visiting a card exhibition at a mall .

D. Failing to find a satisfactory card .

57. What does the underlined phrase “ turned around ” in Para. 5 mean ?

A. Because better .B. Changed unexpectedly .

C. Went worse .D. Progressed unsteadily .

58. What can we learn from Para. 6 ?

A. Jenny seldom saw her father drive that huge car .

B. Jenny had never realized her father’s being weak .

C. Jenny’s father slapped her on the face somewhere .

D. Jenny knew her father’s real age from that day on .

59. Jenny wrote her father this letter to __________ .

A. inform him of their conflictsB. apologize for her being stubborn

C. express her genuine love to himD. remind him of the early incident

B

Roughly half of college students will have some degree of depression at some point during their time in school . Even more startling , 6.2 percent of college students surveyed in 2012 considered suicide and 1.3 percent attempted it , according to an American College Health Association study released this spring . If you’re feeling depressed on campus , you may find the following tips helpful .

Exercise: Physical activity releases endorphins – chemicals that produce an overall positive feeling within the body , which fight depression naturally . Mental health experts claim that exercise is a solution to those feeling mild or moderate depression . However , for those severely depressed , simply doing sports is not enough .

Use school counseling services : Campuses don’t employ mental health experts simply to throw thousands of dollars down the drain . Their job is to help students , so experts recommend you use them . Most students , however , are hesitant to take a trip to their college’s counseling center , fearing being laughed at by peers . As a result , some schools like Texas Christian University , are testing students for mental health problems when they get sick and visit the campus health clinic .

Take advantage of technology : Staying in touch with family members and friends from childhood and high school has become easier than ever with the coming of Facebook and video chat services like Skype . While mental health experts insist that it’s important to make friends in your new environment and be involved in the college community , it’s also significant to keep in touch with the people you knew before college .

Go to sleep : Following a fairly regular sleep pattern can defend you against depression . In college , many students’ sleep patterns are irregular thanks to late-night studying and partying , which is harmful to their mental health . Research strongly suggests that sleep is the key to learning and memory formation .

60. According to the passage , physical activity __________ .

A. is regarded as the best way to fight depression

B. contributes to the release of endorphins

C. can’t help the seriously depressed students

D. improve people’s ability to learn and memorize

61. It can be inferred from the 3rd paragraph that __________ .

A. employing mental health experts on campus is a waste of money

B. students with mental health problems can’t get on well with others

C. going to college’s counseling center for help requires a lot of courage

D. sick students in Texas Christian University must take psychological tests

C

Denmark is one of the happiest nations on earth with some of the best quality of life . You don’t need statistics to understand the Dane’s happy lot . Walk around any Danish town and you’ll experience some of the most harmonious civic spaces anywhere . Their intimate scales and perfect transport systems combine the rich history and bold modern lines of the built environment to delight the eye , and the locals’ manners and sense of humor is refreshing .

Denmark’s capital Copenhagen is a remarkable city with well-preserved medieval streets , renowned art galleries , Michelin-starred restaurants and a healthy business center . Finding something to do is never a problem and if all else fails , just admiring the streets with a hotdog in hand is an enjoyable way to spend a few hours .

Beyond the capital and the bigger cities , Denmark offers a mix of lively towns such as Ribe and Odense plus rural countryside , medieval churches , Renaissance castles and tidy 18th-century villages .

The coastline of Denmark with its sand dunes and greenery is a sight that always attracts visitors . So , no matter what time of year you’re in Denmark , you shouldn’t miss out on a trip to the nearest beach .

It’s hard , in short , to find fault with the place . The visitor’s most heartfelt complaint is usually the cost of visiting Denmark . True , it is not a cheap destination , but no more so than the UK , and which nation’s public transport system would you rather use ?

Cheer yourself up by thinking of the country’s remarkable organization and clockwork railway timetable as being financed by the extremely high taxes paid by your hosts . When viewed in this way , this first-rate destination seems like good value , and you get the fairy tales thrown in for free : the Danish royal family is genuinely loved and respected by the vast majority of its citizens , not least handsome Prince Frederik , his beautiful Australian-born princess-bride , Mary , and their young family .

64. Which of the following words can best describe Danes ?

A. Polite and humorous .B. Happy and romantic .

C. Kind and friendly .D. Out-going and humorous .

65. The writer implies in the last two paragraphs that __________ .

A. Visiting the U.K. will cost less than travelling in Denmark .

B. The transport system in the UK can’t equal that in Denmark .

C. People in Denmark pay high taxes to welcome visitors .

D. The Danish royal family plays an important role in politics .

66. How does the passage mainly develop ?

A. By providing examples .B. By making comparisons .

C. By giving descriptions .D. By following time order .

67. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage ?

C. To share experiences of travelling in Denmark .

D. To describe the happy life people live in Denmark .

When we talk about superstitious（迷信的）beliefs , the beliefs associated with Friday the 13th , no doubt , deserve a special mention . In fact , such is the fear associated with this date that people just can’t seem to stick to their daily routine on this day . The data from Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute suggests that somewhere around 17 to 21 million Americans are affected by the fear associated with this day , i.e. the combination of Friday and 13 . Even worse , the financial losses caused on this day amounts to as much as US$800 million every year .

As we flipped through the pages of history , we realized that Friday the 13th bears the brunt of bad luck associated with number 13 , the unluckiest number , and Friday , the unluckiest day of the week . Number 13 has always been considered unlucky , mainly as a result of it being associated with various occurrences in mythology . While some associate it with the instance of Norse mythology , in which the god of joy and gladness – Balter , was killed in a dishonest manner by Loki – the god of discord and mischief , who was the 13th guest , others associate it with the Last Supper , in which the 13th guest was Judas , who betrayed Jesus to his enemies for 30 pieces of silver .

Similarly , Friday has also been a sign of bad luck to many people , with incidents like Jesus being crucified（在十字架上钉死）on this unfaithful day , contributing to this belief . It is also widely believed that Cain killed Able on this very day of the week . The fear of Friday the 13th is known as friggatriskaidekaphobia and paraskevidekatriaphobia , the former combining the words frigga , meaning Friday , and triskaidekaphobia , meaning the phobia of number 13 . Over the period , the belief that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day has just become one of the most widely accepted superstitions , which consequently causes much blind panic and unreasonable fear in the world .

68. What does Friday the 13th refer to according to passage ?

A. The 13th Friday of a year .

B. The fear of the number 13 on Fridays .

C. A fixed date of a year that can bring bad luck .

D. The 13th day of a month falling on a Friday .

69. We can learn from the passage that __________ .

A. superstition is more popular among the uneducated

B. religion is an important contributing factor to superstition

C. Numbers are believed to bring people bad luck in history

D. The belief of Friday the 13th is based on folk stories

A troubled young man in Connecticut laid his hands on the kinds of guns that no civilian should ever have and shot 20 children and 6 adults . It was a tragedy that “ broke the hearts of America ” , as President Barack Obama said . The obvious way to prevent the next such massacre is gun control . And , yes , we need it now . Voters need to be loud , politicians need to be brave , and the gun lobby needs to be defeated . Perhaps Barack Obama , no longer up for election , will no longer be chicken .

But American violence doesn’t just come from the weapons we buy and the gun shows we frequent . It’s much deeper than that . This is also the country that supplies three-quarters of the world’s arms trade . These are weapon sales authorized by our government and by a Democratic President . International weapon sales by America between 2010 and 2011 tripled . The same Democratic President continues a policy of targeted ( often poorly ) assassinations in Pakistan .

This country also supplies most of the world’s violent entertainment . America leads the world in massacres in life , and in film too . The most popular movie this week , “ SKyfall , ” is a load of fun ; but every emotional climax involves a shooting , sometimes with small guns sometimes with large ones . Firearms have long been identified with manliness in popular culture . Ever more they are identified with womanliness , too . The most popular culture . Every more they are identified with womanliness , too . The most popular video game this week is “ Halo 4 ; ” the most popular novel is Tom Clancy’s “ Treat Vector ; ” the second and s\third best-selling works of nonfiction are “ Killing Kennedy ” and “ Killing Lincoln , ” respectively . Every author , and every creator , should have the right to make what they want . Still , every civilian has a right to choose what to see and what to buy .

Violence is sometimes essential to art , and often to foreign policy , too . But the cruel killing in Newtown , the worst single event in this country in eleven years and three months , should lead to a moment of deep reflection . It’s time to talk about guns ; but it’s also time to talk about a lot more .

72. What does the underlined word “ massacre ” in paragraph 1 probably mean ?

A. Awful accidentB. Serious condition

C. Mass killingD. Great destruction

73. The author lists some examples of violent entertainment EXCEPT __________ .

A. moviesB. booksC. songsD. games

74. Which of the following would the author probably agree with ?

A. Gun control is the only solution to violence in America .

B. Arms trade can benefit our society if limited to a certain degree .

C. Readers should be given the right to choose what they want .

D. Violence in art should share the blame for the killing in America .

75. The best title for the passage would probably be __________ .

A. The Roots of Violent Movies

B. America’s Culture of Violence

C. Bloody Killing Shocked America

D. Divide on Gun Control in America
