I can remember all the pain youve caused me.Do you remember the night when you almost took my fathers life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. Hes addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went turning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasnt the only one badly hurt by you that night.Do you remember the night of my first high school party? My friendswere intrigued byyou. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen head over heels for you. Im so embarrassed, they said as I held their hair back so that they could throw up. Im sorry, they said when I called taxis for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. This wont happen again, they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night due to you.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car head-on and killed two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didnt realize her brother was among them at all. She never saw him again. And it was all your fault.I wish youd walk out of my life forever. I dont want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain youve caused. Sure, youve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage youve caused in the lives of millions is not excusable. Stop attracting the people I love!

Along with a smartphone and an accompanying app, these trackers can report how many calories youve burned and the distance youve traveled. Still curious about yourself? You can also learn the number of stairs youve climbed and steps youve taken.Not one to resist peer pressure, however, I paid $100 for a Fitbit Flex. I chose that brand on the basis of intense research: asking my friend Sari which tracker she was using.The Fitbit website offered instructions on setting up my new tracker. I entered my height and gender (性别) and certain information I considered none of its business: birth date and weight. Then, I established goals. The American Heart Association recommends that we all walk 10,000 steps a dayabout five miles, and so does Fitbit. I decided 6,000 steps was a good place for me to start.I changed my tune when, on Day 1, I hit 6,000 steps and tiny LED lights flashed on my wristband. Confident enough now, I went back to my phone and upped my goal to 8,000 steps. So, I got a little obsessed(着迷). On Day 5 at a department store, I decided to check my progress. My target number was just 275 steps away! I walked around the dress apartment watching my smartphone register each step I took. I hate to tell you how much pleasure this gave me.Now I always wear my tracker, not because Ive grown to love fitness but because I like being trendy and self-absorbed. Last night I was leaving a restaurant when Fitbit emailed to congratulate me on walking more than 10, 000 steps. Who wouldnt love a gadget （小装置） that turns your every footstep into an accomplishment?25. Why do people wear fitness trackers while running?A. To email information to others.B.

Shes nearly 12, and I notice that Im with my child nearly 24 hours a day.Living on a farm without any neighbors, Ive chosen a life that is quieter than a typical familys But rather than longing for space away from me, Sally has become increasingly dependent on my presence. What frightens me most is that she has become a “mini-me”. She pursues my hobbies, my dreams and my opinions. And thats why I pulled her to the summer camp: a nearby wilderness camp called Hawk Circle.After we ate, we drove to Hawk Circle. Once there, we got a tour of the grounds and were introduced to Sallys fellow campers. Sally stood by the group of children, holding my hand, horror in her eyes, trying to work up the courage to join in a game of soccer.“I need you for a few more minutes,” she told me, holding my hand tightly.I pulled away and walked up to one of the camp workers. “Excuse me,” I said loudly. “Id like to introduce my daughter to you. Maybe you could help her meet a few of these kids.” He came over to talk to Sally, and I kissed on her cheekand then my husband and I disappeared before Sally realized we were gone.It was not until that drive home that I finally felt it. A piece of my soul had been taken from my body. I began to shake. Tears streamed down my face. It took every bit of my strength to keep driving forward.When we arrived home, I calmed down and reminded myself why I chose this path. I want Sally to have a chance to find herself out of shadow. I dont want to see only myself in my child. I want to learn who she is. After 12 years of constantly being together, I want to finally meet my daughter for the first time.28. Why did the author sign her daughter up for the summer camp?A. Camp training we something new to here daughter.B. Her daughter had longed to go to the summer camp.C. She expected her daughter to make some new friends.D. She wanted to help build up her daughters independence.29. What happened when they arrived at the summer camp?A. Sally enjoyed meeting her fellow campers very much.B. Sally found the other campers were not easy to get along with.C. Sally felt frightened but her parents left her with a camp worker.D.

What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?A. Kids should often be exposed to summer camps.B. Sometimes parents need to let go of their children,C. Parents shouldnt influence their children too much.D. Children are usually a real reflection of their parents.DCan you figure out someones name just by looking at him or her?The answer may not be a definite “yes”, but a study by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, found that you would at least have a clue, since people with certain names tend to share similar facial appearances.For example, if someone is named Bob, hes likely to have a round and joyful face, while someone named Tim tends to have a narrower face and a more serious look.People have long been associating names with certain cultural expectations, which may be responsible for the studys results. For example, a woman named Katherine is usually considered to be more reliable than a girl named Bonnie. Previous studies also found that people with traditionally African-American names such as DeShawn and Jamal are more likely to be seen as dangerous and violent by their teachers and are less likely to be hired in jobs.These stereotypes（固定模式）have become so widespread that theyve even affected how people look at themselves. In fact, people tend to subconsciously（下意识地）change their own personalities to fit into these stereotypesKatherines may try hard to be trustworthy and Bonnies may care less about the mistakes they make.“We develop the personality that other people expect us to exhibit,” said lead researcher Youat Zwebner, according to The Telegraph. In other words, its not that names change people, but people try to live up to their names.And our faces may even change over time, based on these stereotypes.“Usually, we think that faces are very fixed but now we show that theyre not,” the studys co-author Ruth Mayo told UKs iNews.According to Mayo, the use of different facial expressions can allow people to develop different looks. “If you smile a lot, you have different wrinkles around your eyes and your mouth from if you frown（皱眉）a lot,” she said.32. Why did the author use the names Bob and Tim as an example?A. To prove the influence of names on our emotions.B. To present the cultural expectations of certain names.C. To show the correct method of guessing someones name.D. To explain the possible connections between names and looks.33. Which of the following are considered cultural stereotypes by the author?A. A boy name Tim tends to be cautious.B. A boy named Jamal tends to be violent.C. A boy named DeShawn appears dangerous.D. A girl named Bonnie is likely to be seen as joyful.34. Which of the following would Yonat Zwebner probably agree with?A. Peoples faces become fixed as they grow into adults.B. The way people are looked at changes their personalities.C. People could change their personalities by using different names.D. People should focus on sound and meaning when choosing names.35. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Name may make looksB. Name can change peopleC. Appearance may affect jobsD. Appearance can carry culture.笫二节（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Self-talk helps us allTalking to yourself may seem a little shameful. If youve ever been overheard criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a speech, youll know the social problems it can cause. 36 Talking to ourselves, whether out loud or silently in our heads, is valuable. Far from being a sign of madness, self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do, manage our activities and control our emotions.Psychologists call self-talk private speech-language that is spoken out loud but directed at yourself. We do a lot of it when we are young. As children, we use private speech to control our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others. 37 Psychological experiments have shown that this so-called inner speech can improve our performance in tasks like telling what other people are thinking. One recent study suggests that self-talk is the most effective when we talk to ourselves in the second person: as “you” rather than “I” .We keep the private speech we use as children insidebut we never truly put away the out-loud version. 38 Youre sure to see an athlete shouting at himself or herself. 39 Hearing different points of view means our thoughts can end up in different places, leading to a solution to a problem, just like a regular dialogue, and might turn out to be one of the keys to human creativity.Both kinds of self-talk-silent and out loud-seem to bring many different benefits to our thinking. 40 A. But theres no need for embarrassment.B. If you want proof, turn on a sports channel.C. As we grow older, we keep this system inside.D. Take a trip to any preschool and watch a small child playing with toys.E. Words to the self, spoken silently or aloud, are so much more than just chatter.F. According to the well-known saying, talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.G. Self-talk seems to be a very good way of solving problems and working through ideas.笫三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Yesterday I was walking along a busy road when I noticed a young man standing near the pedestrian crossing, selling toys.Usually I would 41 and hurry past such sellers before being approached to buy something.
