Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.Much later that night, the question of why Id stopped for that light came back to me. I think Istopped because its part of a contract(契约)we all have with each other. Its not only the law, but it is an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we dont go through red lights.Trust is our first inclination(倾向).Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互)trust, not distrust. We do what we say well do; we show up when we say well show up; and we pay when we say well pay. We trust each other in these matters, and were angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.25. Why did the author get impatient while driving?A He was lonely on the road. BHe came across too many traffic lights. B CHe got tired of driving too long. DHe was slowed down by a truck. 26. What was the authors immediate action when the traffic light turned red?ALooking around for other cars. BDriving through it. CStopping still. DChecking out for traffic police. 27. The event made the author strongly believe that _. Atraffic rules may be unnecessary Ba society needs mutual trust Cpatience is important to drivers Ddoubting others is human nature 28. Why was the author proud of himself ?AHe kept his promise. BHe made a right decision. CHe followed his inclination. DHe held back his anger. CI am Peter Hodes , a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March xx, Ive done 89 tripsof those , 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells（干细胞）in my little box because Ive got two ice packs and thats how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, weve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said:“Well, Im really sorry, Ive got some bad news for youthere are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said:“In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please, please, youve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job, youre consciously aware that in that box youve got something that is potentially going to save somebodys life.29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph1?A. provider B. medical doctorC. collector D. delivery man30. Why does Peter have to plete his trip within 42 hours?A. He cannot stay away from his job too long.B.The ice wont last any longer.C. The operation needs that much time.D. The donor can only wait for that long.31. Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?A. To London. B. To Washington. C. To Providence. D. To Newark.DAs more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations UNESCO and National Geographic among themhave for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India , Nepal, Bhutan, and China . But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record. At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials-including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field noteswhich had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now, through the two organizations that he has founded the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of munities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech munities.32. Many scholars are making efforts to _.A. promote global languages B. set up language research organizations.C. search for language munities D. rescue disappearing languages33. What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to ?A. Telling stories about language users.B. Writing books on language teaching.C. Having full records of the languages.D. Living with the native speakers.34. What is Turins book based on?A. The cultural studies in India. B. His personal experience in Nepal. C. His language research in Bhutan. D. The documents available at Yale. 35. Which of the following best describe Turins work?A. Collect, protect and reconnect. B. Record, repair and reward.C. Write, sell and donate. D. Design, experiment and report.第二节（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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Every child is a good seed of the future. Children are gifts that God has given to parents to faithfully care for. But whether you are a mom or a dad, it isnt easy to raise children to be adults.36 Walk the walk, but dont just talk the talk. 37 Thats to say, they dont like it when you are just telling them to “Do as I say, not as I do”. So, set an example to them.Listen to your teens. This takes more than just hearing and needs paying close attention and sincerely caring about what they have to say. If teens do not e to their parents for advice or support when they face difficult situations in life, theres usually a reason. 38 Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Often, young people simply need to talk and express their sadness, questions, or concerns. Trying to solve their problems simply adds more trouble to the situation. 39 But before that, show them that you care for them by listening. 40 In a society where so many marriages break up, countless teens have no loving parent or role model that they need, Whether you believe it or not, parents are the biggest influence in their teens life.A. Being a good student takes practice.B. They will ask for advice when they are ready for it.C. Most likely, it is because the parent is not a good listener.D. Here are some practical steps you can take to be a good example.E. They are watching you closely and modeling their lives after you.F. Realize that you influence your teens beyond your own imagination.G. But it is easier for parents to raise children today than over 50 years ago.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题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中选出最佳选项。Once upon a time, there lived two parent parrots.
