二、完形填空（共20小題;每小題1分，滿分20分）

When someone has deeply hurt you， it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible—and it can be surprisingly ?16??to your physical and ?17??health.

“People who always forgive others ?18??less depression， anger and stress and more hopefulness，” says Frederic Luskin， Ph.D.， the ?19??of Forgive for Good. “So it can help ?20??on the wear and tear on our organs， reduce the wearing out of the immune （免疫的） system and ?21?people to feel more vital.”

So how do you start the forgiveness？ Try ?22??these steps：

Calm yourself. To defuse your ?23?， try a simple stressmanagement technique. “Take a couple of breaths and think of ?24??that gives you pleasure： a ?25??scene in nature， someone you love，” Luskin says.

Dont ?26??an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you has no ?27??of apologizing，” Luskin says. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same ?28?. So if you wait for people to apologize you could be waiting a（n） ?29??long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean ?30??to the person who upsets you.

Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying （重播） your ?31??gives power to the person who caused you pain. “?32??focusing on your hurt feelings， learn to look for the love， beauty and kindness ?33??you，” Luskin says.

Try to see things from the other persons view. If you empathize （把感情移入） with that person， you may ?34??that he or she was acting out of ignorance， fear—even love.

Recognize the benefits of forgiveness. Research has shown that people who always forgive others will get more energy， better ?35??and better sleep.

Dont forget to forgive yourself. “For some people， forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge，” Luskin says. But it can rob you of your selfconfidence if you dont do it.”

16. A. beneficial?B. harmful

A

President Barack Obama has arrived in Cuba for a historic visit to the island and talks with its communist leader. He is the first sitting US president to visit since the 1959 revolution.

Speaking at the reopened US embassy in Havana， he called the visit “historic”. He also spent time in the old city.

Mr Obama will meet President Raul Castro， but not retired revolutionary leader Fidel Castro， and the pair will discuss trade and political reform. The US president emerged smiling from Air Force One with First Lady Michelle and their daughters Sasha and Malia. Holding umbrellas， the party walked in light drizzle along a red carpet to be greeted by Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez.

Two hours after landing， Mr Obama greeted staff from the US embassy with the words， “It is wonderful to be here”.

“Back in 1928， President （Calvin） Coolidge came on a battleship. It took him three days to get here， it only took me three hours. For the first time ever， Air Force One has landed in Cuba and this is our very first stop.”

President Obamas visit is the highpoint of a recent easing of ties， which included the opening of embassies last year.

But only hours before his arrival， protesters calling for the release of political prisoners were arrested in the capital， Havana. Police took away dozens of demonstrators from the Ladies in White group， formed of political prisonerswives， from outside a church where they attempt to hold weekly protests.

36. In the third paragraph， “the pair” refers to ???.

A. Barack and Michelle

B. Barack and Raul

C. Raul and Fidel

D. Fidel and Michelle

37. We can find from the passage that ???.

A. the protestersaction was not a coincidence

B. Coolidge was born and later lived in Cuba

C. Obama is the first sitting US president to visit Cuba

D. Raul met Obama at the airport

If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars， we would go in darkness happily，the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal （夜間活動(dòng)的） species on this planet. Instead， we are diurnal creatures， with eyes adapted to living in the suns light. This is a basic evolutionary fact， even though most of us dont think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet its the only way to explain what weve done to the night： Weve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.

The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences—called light pollution—whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study. Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design， which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky. IIIdesigned lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels—and light rhythms—to which many forms of life， including， ourselves， have adapted. Wherever human light spills into the natural world， some aspect of life is affected.

In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars， leaving behind a vacant haze （霾） that mirrors our fear of the dark. Weve grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit night， dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadow on Earth， is wholly beyond our experience， beyond memory almost.

Weve lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country， when nothing could be further form the truth. Among mammals alone， the number of nocturnal species is astonishing. Light is a powerful biological force， and on many species it acts as a magnet （磁鐵）. The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being “captured” by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms. Migrating at night， birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings.

Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal， throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint including most other creatures. We do need darkness. Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare， to our internal clockwork， as light itself.

Living in a glare of our own making， we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage—the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night. In a very real sense， light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe， to forget the scale of our being， which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Way—the edge of our galaxy arching overhead.

38. According to the passage， human being ???.

A. prefer to live in the darkness

B. had to stay at home with the light of the moon

C. are used to living in the day light

D. were curious about the midnight world

39. What does “it” （Paragraph 1） most probably refer to？

A. The planet.?B. The moon.

C. The sky.??D. The night.

40. The writer mentions birds and frogs to ???.

A. provide examples of animal protection

B. show how light pollution affects animals

C. compare the living habits of both species

D. explain why the number of certain species has declined

41. It is implied in the last paragraph that ???.

A. human beings cannot go to the outer space

B. light pollution has destroyed some of the world heritages

C. light pollution does harm to the eyesight of animals

D. human beings should reflect on their position in the universe

Ernest Hemingway was not only a commanding figure in 20thcentury literature， but was also a pack rat. He saved even his old passports and used bullfight tickets， leaving behind one of the longest paper trails of any author.

“Ernest Hemingway： Between Two Wars，” which opens on Friday at the Morgan Library & Museum， is the first major museum exhibition devoted to Hemingway and his work. The largest and most interesting section focuses on the 20s， Hemingways Paris years， and reveals a writer we might have been in danger of forgetting： Hemingway before he became Hemingway.

The exhibition does not fail to include pictures of the bearded， manly， Hem. Hes shown posing with some kudu he has just shot in Africa and on the bridge of his beloved fishing boat， the Pilar， with Carlos Gutiérrez， the fisherman who became the model for “The Old Man and the Sea.” But the first photo the viewer sees is a big blowup of a handsome， cleanshaven， 19yearold standing on crutches. This is from the summer of 1918， when Hemingway was recovering from wounds at the Red Cross hospital in Milan and trying to turn his wartime experiences into fiction.

The evidence at this exhibition suggests that， in the early days， he often wrote in pencil， mostly in cheap notebooks but sometimes on whatever paper came to hand. The first draft of the short story “Soldiers Home” was written on sheets he appeared to have snatched from a telegraph office. The impression you get is of a young writer seized by inspiration and sometimes barreling ahead without an entirely clear sense of where he is going.

F. Scott Fitzgerald （some of whose letters with Hemingway is also on view） famously urged him to cut the first two chapters of “The Sun Also Rises，” complaining about the “elephantine facetiousness” of the beginning， and Hemingway obliged， getting rid of a clunky opening that now seems almost “meta”. In 1929， in a ninepage penciled critique， Fitzgerald also suggested numerous revisions for “A Farewell to Arms.” Hemingway took some of these， but less graciously， and soon afterward his friendship with Fitzgerald came to an end.

The papers at the Morgan show a Hemingway who is not always sure of himself. There are running lists of stories he kept fiddling with， and there are lists and lists of possible titles， including the 45 he considered for “Farewell” and 47 different endings for the novel.

In display case after display case， you see Hemingway during his Paris years inventing and reinventing himself， discovering as he goes along just what kind of writer he wants to be. In a moving 1925 letter to his parents， who refused to read “In Our Time，” his second story collection， he writes， “You see Im trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across—not just to describe life—or criticize it—but to actually make it alive. So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing. You cant do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful.”

By the time the Second World War broke out， Hemingway had solidified into the iconic figure we now remember： Papa. Even J. D. Salinger calls him this. And a blustery， cranky Hemingway appears in 1949 when aboard the Pilar he grabs an old fishing diary and begins scrawling an angry letter to Harold Ross， the editor of The New Yorker， complaining about Alfred Kazins review of “Across the River and Into the Trees，” not， in truth， a very good book. But， Hemingway， often drinking and depressed， didnt know it， his best work was behind him by then.

42. We can conclude from the Morgan show that sometimes Hemingway was a person ???.

A. unconfident but full of inspirations

B. stubborn but full of enthusiasm about love

C. casual but full of heroism

D. badtempered but full of strange habits

43. What does the writer truly mean by saying “Hemingway before he became Hemingway”？

A. Hemingway wrote many masterpieces before he killed himself.

B. Hemingway was once a war correspondent before he became a famous writer.

C. Hemingway devoted all his strengths to writing before he won the Nobel Prize.

D. Hemingway kept exploring the world and adjusting himself before he became a commanding figure in literature.

44. According to the Morgan show， readers are likely to see ????in Hemingways works.

（1） tough men who cant be defeated

（2） antiwar fighters

（3） the dark side of the world as well as its beauty

（4） love affairs between a man and a woman

（5） the story of a family business

A. （1）， （3）?????B. （2）， （4）

C. （1）， （5）?????D. （3）， （5）

I recently read a newspaper article about an 8yearold boy who found an envelope containing more than $600 and returned it to the bank whose name appeared on the envelope. The bank traced the money to its owner and returned it to him. All is right with the world. Right？ Wrong.

As a reward， the man who lost the money gave the boy $3.Not a lot， but a symbol of his appreciation nonetheless and not compulsory. After all， returning money should not be considered extraordinary. A simple “thank you” is adequate. But some of the teachers at the boys school felt a reward was not only appropriate， but also required. Outraged at the apparent stinginess of the person who lost the cash， these teachers took up a collection for the boy. About a week or so later， they presented the boy with a $150 check， explaining they felt his honesty should be praised and advocated. Evidently the virtues of honesty and kindness have become commodities that， like everything else， are subject to inflation.

What does this absurd episode say about our society？ It seems the role models our children look up to these days—in this case， teachers—are more confused about values than their young charges. A young boy， obviously well guided by his parents， finds money that does not belong to him and he returns it. He did the right thing. Yet doing the right thing seems to be insufficient incentive （刺激） for action in our modern world. The greed of the 1980s has left us with the ever—present question： whats in it for me？ The promise of the golden rule—that someone might do a good turn for you someday—merits only scorn （譏笑） in the materialistic and fast-paced society of the 1990s. In fact， it is this fast pace that worsens the problem. Modern communications have pushed us into an instant world. With the world racing by us， we have no patience to wait for someone to pay dividends for our good deeds. Immoral virtues are running out of control in our culture.

As a society， we seem to be on the point of losing our internal control—the ethical boundaries that guide our actions and feelings. Instead， our ethical standards have been eclipsed by external “stuff” as a measure of our worth. We pass this obscene message on to our children. We offer them money for learning how to convert fractions to decimals. Refreshments are given as a reward for reading. In fact， in one national reading program， a party awaits the entire class if each child reads a certain number of books within a four-month period. We call these things incentives， telling ourselves that if we can just reel them in and get them hooked， then the internal rewards will follow. I recently saw a television program where school-age children were featured as the participants in a program that offers a $10 a week “incentive” if they do not try to run away from school again. Isnt the daily dilemma of wandering around on the streets， hungry and thirsty， enough to discourage them from running away again？ No， it isnt， because we as a society wont allow it to be. Nothing is permitted to succeed or fail on its own merits anymore.

The simple virtues of honesty， kindness and integrity suffer from an image problem and are in desperate need of better publicity （宣揚(yáng)）. One way to do this is by example. If my son sees me feeling happy after Ive helped a friend clean her basement， then he may do likewise. If my daughter sees me spending a rainy afternoon baking a pumpkin pie instead of spending money at the mall， she may get the message that there are some simple pleasures that dont require a purchase. I fear that in our so-called upwardly mobile world we are on a downward spiral towards becoming morally bankrupt. We may soon make ourselves worthless inside， while desperately clinging to a shell of appearances.

45. What does the underlined word “stinginess” in Paragraph 2 mean？

A. Being greedy for profits.

B. Being seen as ridiculous.

C. Being indifferent to others.

D. Being reluctant to spend money.

46. Teachers raising money for the boys are those who ???.

A. believe virtue should not get rewarded

B. think an adequate reward is not a must

C. are at a loss as to values and goods

D. get angry that honesty gets no rewards

47. Which of the following is TRUE about peoples values in the 1980s and the 1990s？

A. Doers of good deeds in the 1990s would get teased.

B. Many people in the 1990s were anxious to get rewarded for doing good deeds.

C. The internal control in the 1980s caused a serious ethical problem.

D. People in the 1980s deserved more of wealth than what was necessary.

48. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean？

A. Our deciding internal factors have lost their grounds.

B. External incentives have corrupted our ethical standards.

C. Wealth has become the only measure of our ethical standards.

D. Ethical standards guiding our actions and feelings have changed.

49. What can be inferred from the passage？

A. The author passes positive energy to society.

B. Schoolage children remain at school for a reward.

C. The more we award children， the more they will learn.

D. The author does his part to set an example to the two children.

50. What is the authors understanding of publicity for virtues？

A. Moral values are bound to get improved in the future.

B. Virtues are suffering from an image problem currently.

C. Images of virtues badly need to be promoted by example.

D. Well climb up the social ladder consistent with moral worth.

Antibiotics， insulin， organ transplantation， HIV treatments and heart-bypass surgeries—it reads like an A to Z of medical progress. But the major progress has something in common： they were all developed and tested by using animals. Actually， animals are used for research in a variety of settings. Whether or not humans should use animals for testing purposes， however， is a controversial subject.

Animal testing allows researchers to develop new medicine and treatments， advancing the field of medicine and improving the health of society. For example， many drugs used to treat or prevent cancer， HIV， diabetes， etc， have resulted from tests performed on animals. Many advocators of animal testing support the practice for this reason， even if they do not support testing， cosmetics or other non-essential substances on animals. No one chooses to use animals where there in no need. In fact， animal research has contributed to 70 percent of Nobel prizes for physiology or medicine.

Animal testing also enables scientists and researchers to test the safety of medicine and other substances with which humans have regular contact. Drugs， for example， may create significant risks to humans， so testing them on animals first gives researchers a chance to determine their safety before human trials are performed. While scientists understand the differences between humans and animals， the similarities are considered significant enough to produce relevant data that they can then apply to humans. This， animal testing reduces harm to humans and saves lives， not only because the exposure to risky substances is minimized， but because some new medicine and treatments have positive effects on humansoverall quality of life.

However， a significant number of animals are harmed or die as a result of experiments and testing. Unfortunately， many of the substances used on animal subjects never receive approval for human use or consumption. Those who oppose animal testing consider this a very important point， because saving humans from suffering is no excuse for the death of laboratory animals. Opponents also argue that animals are dissimilar enough from humans to make the results of animals tests unreliable. Related criticism is that testing causes stress in animals， meaning that they do not react to experimental substances in the same way that they might in natural circumstances， making the results of experiments less valid.

Using animals as research subjects is also expensive because they require food， shelter， care and treatment in addition to the costs of experimental substances. Long-term or multi-stage tests can increase the costs of the practice as well. The actual price paid for animals is also worth considering. In this respect， researchers take on an additional burden.

請(qǐng)閱讀下面文字及圖表，并按照要求用英語(yǔ)寫一篇150詞左右的文章。

In a small village there lived a lazy Brahmin Ramdas. He would do nothing but daydream whole day. One sunny afternoon， Ramdas was very hungry. With great difficulty， he got up and stretched his arms. Stepping out of his hut， he exclaimed， “What a beautiful day. How I wish I could go back to sleep. But then， I will have to go out and get my food.” After bathing， Ramdas took out a bowl and went out to beg.

By begging the whole day he managed to get a pot full of milk. He hung this pot on the ceiling above， lay down on his bed and started day dreaming again.

“It is this pot of milk that is going to make me rich，” he thought. “I will use it to make butter. From the butter， I will be able to make ghee. I really am clever！”

“I will then go to the market and sell the ghee，” his dream continued. “With the money I get， I will buy a pair of goats. They will have kids after six months. Soon I would have an entire herd of goats.”

“Then I will continue my business. I will trade the goats for cattle. I will buy some more cows and own a farmhouse. I will start a dairy farm. Once I earn a handsome amount I will employ people in my farm. I can also open a sweet shop in the middle of the village. I will make sweets out of the cows milk.” The Brahmin kept smiling to himself.

“How smart I am，” he thought. “The day I become a rich businessman， I will build a big house right in the middle of the village. There will be a splendid garden and a swimming pool in front of the house. Early morning I will bathe in the blue waters of the pool. Seeing such an abundant lifestyle， the village headman will come to my house and plead for my hand for his beautiful daughter.” “After I get married，” Ramdas continued dreaming. “Ill make her work throughout the day. If she fights with me， I will jump up and give her a kick！”

Lost in his thoughts， he struck out with his foot， breaking the pot， and drenched （使?jié)裢福?himself with the milk. He saw the broken pot and cried. He lost whatever he had because of his laziness and day dreaming.

五、One possible version：

Brahmin Ramdas would daydream rather than do anything. One day he got a pot full of milk by begging. He pictured that he could become wealthy and get married but failed.

Laziness is the biggest enemy of our life， which steals everything from us by and by. When we are lazy， we are not full of passion and we will not work hard towards our goal. To make things worse， we will become physically sick if we are lazy. For example， during last summer holidays， I stayed in bed， playing computer games all day with the air conditioner on. As a result， I had a bad cold and I was unable to focus on my homework for days.

The National Examination is approaching. If we want to be admitted to our ideal university， we have to overcome the devil laziness. No lazy man can reach the summit of success. Be diligent now and we will have a bright future. （159w）
