Following her long habit, she'd lean down and push my long _16_ out of the way, then kiss my forehead. I don't remember when it first _17_ annoying meher hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, _18_ they felt workworn and rough _19_ my young skin. One night, I shouted out at her. “Don't do that anymoreyour hands are too rough.” She didn't say anything in _20_. But never again did my mother end my day with that _21_ expression of her love.With the passing years, my thoughts returned to that night. By then I missed my mother's _22_. Sometimes the _23_ seemed very close, sometimes far away. But always it was in my mind. Now I'm not a little girl anymore. Mom is in her midseventies, and those hands I _24_ thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family. She's been _25_ doctor, reaching into a medicine box to _26_ a young girl's stomach ache or soothe (緩和) a boy's injured _27_. Now, my own children are grown and _28_. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special occasions, I find myself drawn next door to _29_ the night with her. So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I slept in the _30_ of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly _31_ my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently, _32_ my forehead.For the thousandth time, I recalled the night my young voice complained, “Don't _33_ that anymoreyour hands are too rough!” Catching Mom's hand in hand, I blurted out (脫口而出) how sorry I was for that night. I thought she'd remember, as I did. But Mom didn't know what I was talking about. She had forgottenand forgivenlong ago. That night, I fell asleep with a new _34_ for my gentle mother and her _35_ hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.16A.hair Bbed Cchair Darm17A.delayed Bstarted Callowed Davoided18A.but Bor Cso Dfor19A.past Bunder Cagainst Dabove20A.debt Breply Cdanger Dtotal21A.familiar Bdifficult Canxious Dsad22A.words Bpresents Cbooks Dhands23A.courage Bincident Cfailure Dsatisfaction24A.recently Bseldom Cnever Donce25A.his Bits Cour Dher26A.treat Bblame Cignore Ddoubt27A.toy Bshirt Cglass Dknee28A.disappointed Bhidden Cmissing Dgone29A.spend Bdesign Corder Dforget30A.hotel Btrain Cbedroom Doffice31A.knocked over Bgave out Cran across Dapplied for32A.directed Btouched Coperated Draised33A.eat Bcook Cwin Ddo34A.instrument Bargument Cappreciation Dinvention35A.fat Bcaring Cdirty Dstrong第二部分閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。A“When I grow up, I want to be”Almost all of us have thought about, or been asked to think about, our future careers. Our answers may differ greatly. Even now your aspirations (志向) may have changed from when you were in primary school.However, it seems career options aren't only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by Teens, doctors, lawyers and bankers were some of the most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow. This is in line with a similar survey carried out in the UK in May 2011 by job website monster. co. uk, in which medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17.Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions. Their prestige (聲望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are some of the most esteemed members of society, and they make good money. Joining these highprofile (引人注目的) professions is often seen as a sign of upward social mobility.It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in. Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career. British young men list the UK business tycoon (大亨) Alan Sugar, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg as their top role models “for their wealth”, just as Chinese teenagers see being a banker as a good and fun pathway to “wealth”However, not every child has the makings of a doctor, lawyer or banker. There are those who see fulfillment (成就感) and happiness in other areas, and many teenagers dare to ink more individuality into their career options. As the Teens' survey discovered, a variety of unconventional (非傳統(tǒng)的) jobscoffee shop owner, gourmet (美食家), waiter at a fast food restaurantare among teenagers' career choices. They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.With every choice comes responsibility and challenge, and all career paths require specific education and training, you have to learn to balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.36What is the top career choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17 according to the article?ALaw. BMedicine. CBank. DEducation.37According to the article, all of the following are the benefits of being a doctor except _Athe oldest profession Brespect from othersChigh pay Dupward social mobility38What can we learn from the last paragraph?AAccording to your particular talents and skills,you can choose your favorite career.BSpecific education and training can help get a good job.CWhatever career you choose, you should balance optimism, confidence and being realistic according to your particular talents and skills.DResponsibility is the most important when you choose a good job.39What's the passage mainly about?ACareers in teenagers' mind. BChoosing a good job is very important.CTeenagers in the UK like doctors. DThe choice of career needs challenge.BIf a noisy neighbor is blasting music at all hours of the day and night, drowning out your phone conversations and interrupting your sleep, you can call the police. But what is a whale to do?Natural noise from waves, wind, rain and even earthquakes is common in oceans. Unfortunately, manmade noise from oil and gas drilling, sonar, and ships is also present.Low frequency noise has doubled off the California coast every decade since the nineteen sixties. The main reasons are ships' propellers(螺旋槳). They not only generate continuous low frequency sound, some propellers cavitate(形成氣穴), which means they create air bubbles that collapse, creating loud popping sounds.Whales use low frequency calls to communicate across thousands of miles of ocean. They are threatened by noise pollution because it can prevent them from contacting each other and from locating their foods. Endangered humpback and right whales, which use fibrous baleen to strain food from the water, are the most at risk.Scientists studying right whales off Canada's east coast have discovered that whales are sending louder calls through the water to make themselves heard. Because they invest more energy in making calls, they have less energy available for finding food and mating. Other scientists measuring whale calls against background noise pollution have discovered that right whales have lost about eighty percent of their normal communication areas. This could seriously affect the survival of this already threatened species.Scientists don't have badges and guns, but they are trying to correct the noise pollution problem. By tracking ships and marine mammals and understanding how noise travels, they are creating sound maps. They hope to get shipping lanes moved so that the noise pollution ships create will not overlap with areas most important to the whales.40What does the passage mainly talk about?AWhales are in danger because of the noise.BNoise pollution is affecting whales.CNatural noise is good for whales.DHow to protect whales endangered.41The following statements are true EXCEPT _Ayou can call the police if you are disturbed by a noisy neighborBlow frequency noise has doubled off the Canadian coast every decade since the 1960sCnoise pollution can prevent whales from contacting each other and from locating preyDendangered humpback and right whales are the most at risk42We can infer from the last paragraph that _Asome areas important to whales are overlapped with the ship lanesBscientists are creating the sound maps by tracking ships and marine mammalsCif scientists have guns, they can correct the noise pollutionDscientists have worked out a plan to protect the whales43According to the description of whales, we can know that _Athe noise made by the ships has a bad effect on the area where whales liveBwhales can communicate with each other by diving into the deep waterCwhales cannot find mates because they don't have enough energyDthe communication between whales is through low frequency callsCKelly Reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water. Panic moment! She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on, but nothing worked. Her first reaction? She got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new model at full price.A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness. About 66 percent of those surveyed suffer from nomophobia or “no mobile phone phobia”. Interestingly, more women worry about losing their phones than men.Fortunately, there's a solution.The first step is to figure out whether you have nomophobia. Checking your phone too often is one thing, but the true sign of the problem is that you can't conduct business or go about your routine when the fear becomes so severe.Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? That's another sign of the problem. If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day, there may be a problem.Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: Leaving the phone behind and not checking email or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety. Even if this leads to a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with not having your phone. Of course, there are also technological alternatives. Luis Levy, a cofounder at Novy PR, says he uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone. To find it, he can just go to a website and see the phone's location.He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion. The company's description of its product reads like a prescription for anxiety: “60 million phones are lost, stolen or damaged each year. You'll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can quickly reconnect with family, friends and work, as soon as the very next day!”44Why does the author mention Kelly's experience in the first paragraph?ATo introduce the topic for discussion.BTo inform us that mobile phones are useful.CTo warn us that we should be careful.DTo tell us we should get phones ready for a trip.45The underlined word “nomophobia” in Paragraph 2 means _Ahabits of using mobile phones Bfear of losing mobile phonesCeagerness for new mobile phones Dindependence of mobile phones46Which of the following is a way to treat nomophobia?AAvoiding using phones for some time.BLearning more about modern technology.CProtecting one's phone against any damage.DNot using a mobile phone in one's daily work.47What is the passage mainly about?AAttitudes toward mobile phones. BNew mobile phone technology.CDisadvantages of mobile phones. DSolutions to nomophobia.DTempted by a chocolate bar? Maybe indulging (沉迷于) every so often is not a bad thing especially if it's dark chocolate.According to a Swedish study in the journal of the American College of Cardiology that looked at more than 33,000 women, the more chocolate the women said they ate, the lower their risk of stroke.The results add to a growing body of evidence linking cocoa consumption to heart health, but they aren't a free pass to gorge on (貪婪地吃) chocolate.“Given the observational design of the study, findings of this study cannot prove that it's chocolate that lowers the risk of stroke,” said Susanna Larsson from Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, in an email to Reuters Health.While she believes chocolate has health benefits, she also warned that eating too much of it could be counterproductive (起反作用的)“Chocolate should be consumed in moderation (適中) as it is high in calories, fat and sugar. As dark chocolate contains more cocoa and less sugar than milk chocolate, consumption of dark chocolate would be more beneficial.”Larsson and her colleagues tapped into data from a mammography study that included selfreports of how much chocolate women ate in 1997.The women ranged in age from 49 to 83 years.Over the next decade, there were 1,549 strokes among the group. The more chocolate women ate, the lower their risk.Among those with the highest weekly chocolate intake, more than 45 grams, there were 2.5 strokes per 1,000 women per year. That figure was 7.8 per 1,000 among women who ate the least, less than 8.9 grams a week.Scientists speculate (推測(cè)) that substances known as flavonoids (類黃酮), in particular socalled flavanoids, may be responsible for chocolate's apparent impact on health.According to Larsson, flavonoids have been shown to cut high blood pressure, a risk factor for strokes, and improve other blood factors linked to heart health. Whether that theoretical benefit translates to reallife benefits remains to be proven by strict studies, however.Nearly 800,000 people in the United States suffer a stroke every year, with about a sixth of them dying of it and many more left disabled.For those at high risk, doctors recommend blood pressure medicine, quitting smoking, exercising more and eating a healthier diet, but so far, chocolate isn't on the list.48The researchers who study chocolate lovers with fewer strokes are from _AAmerica BSweden CBritain DSpain49Why would eating moderate dark chocolate be more beneficial?ABecause it contains more cocoa and less sugar than milk chocolate.BBecause it contains high in calories, fat and sugar.CBecause it has a lot of flavonoids.DBecause it has a lot of vitamins.50What can we infer from the last paragraph?AWhether eating chocolate can lower the risk of stroke has been solved.BThere are many people in the United States suffering a stroke every year.CDoing more exercise is beneficial to health.DWhether eating chocolate can lower the risk of stroke remains to be studied.51What's the main idea of the passage?AA study about stroke.BChocolate lover may have fewer strokes.CA study about the benefit of chocolate.DEating more dark chocolate does good to health.EYoung children whose mothers talk with them more frequently and in more detail about people's thoughts and feelings tend to be better at taking another person's perspective(觀點(diǎn))than other children of the same age.That's what researchers from the University of Western Australia found in a new study published in the journal Child Development.“Parents who frequently put themselves in someone else's shoes in conversations with their children make it more likely that their children will be able to do the same,” said lead author Brad Farrant.Researchers of the UWA's Telethon Institute for Child Health Research looked at the influence of how parents interact with their children to learn more about how people develop the ability to take another's perspective.The twoyear study involved more than 120 Australian children aged between four and six, including children with typically developing language and others delayed in language acquisition(習(xí)得)The children completed tasks which were designed to assess their language skills, ability to infer others' beliefs and use these to predict others' behavior, and their ability to shift flexibly between different perspectives.Among children with typically developing language, the researchers found that mothers who talked more often and in greater detail about people's thoughts and feelingscommenting on how another person might react to a particular situation as well as their own feelings about the topichad children with better language skills and better perspectivetaking skills.Children with delayed language acquisition were also delayed in their development of perspectivetaking skills. This displays the role played by language as children develop the ability to take another's perspective.“Solving the many challenges that the world faces today requires us all to get better at taking the perspective of other people,” said Brad Farrant.52According to the text, to help children gain better perspectivetaking skills, parents should _Agive their children more chances to express themselvesBtalk more with their children about people's feelingsCencourage their children to guess other people's thoughtsDspend more time playing with their children53Which have an effect on the development of children's perspectivetaking skills?AThe surrounding environ
