Mrs. Decker is now in a stable condition; her husband said, “What I told her was, you are alive and you get to see your kids grow up. ” Joe Decker told the reporters. Mr. Decker said that he had sent a text message to his wife from his workplace to tell her a tornado was heading for their three-story home. She rushed their eight-year-old son Dominic and five-year-old daughter Reese into the basement, where she tried her best to protect them from the storm. Mrs. Decker typed out what had happened by using an iPad in the hospital. She saw part of the house collapse（坍塌）on her and pulled her daughter out of the way. She doesnt remember anything after that. The home, which was partly built by Mr. Decker and his wifes father, is now completely destroyed, with a bathtub 200 feet away in a filed, the Courier Journal reported.

Inspiring B. Thrilling C. Touching C. InterestingC Taste is such a subjective matter that we dont usually conduct preference tests for food. The most you can say about anyones preference, is that its one persons opinion. But because the two big cola companies-Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola are marketed so aggressively, we have wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-Cola Classic or Pepsi fans: find your brand in a blind tasting.We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic or Pepsi, Diet (低糖的) Coke, or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought they d have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand.We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi, then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants choices with what mere guess-work could have accomplished.Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed they could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse-only 7 of 27 identified all four samples correctly. While both groups did better than chance would predict, nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half of the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so tiredness, or taste burnout, was not a factor. Our preference test results suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.28. It is implied in the first paragraph that _. A. the purpose of taste tests is to promote the sale of colas B. the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companies C. the competition between the two colas is very strong D. blind tasting is necessary for identifying fans29. According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to _. A. find out the role taste preference plays in a persons drinking B. reveal which cola is more to the liking of the drinkers C. show that a person s opinion about taste is mere guess-work D. compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks30. The word burnout underlined in Paragraph Five, refers to the state of _. A. being seriously burnt in the skin B. being unable to burn for lack of fuel C. being badly damaged by fire D. being unable to function because of excessive use31. The authors purpose in writing this passage is to _. A. show that taste preference is highly subjective B. argue that taste testing is an important marketing strategy C. emphasize that taste and price are closely related to each other D. recommend that blind tasting be introduced in the quality control of colasD The greatest contribution to civilization in the century may well be the air-conditioning- and American leads just as amazing is the speed with which this situation came to be. Air-conditioning began to spread in industries as a production aid during World War . Today most Americans need to take air-conditioning for granted to homes, offices, factories, theatres, shops, studios, schools, hotels, and restaurants, and we can see it almost everywhere in todays America. But not everybody is aware that high cost and easy comfort are merely two of the effects of the vast cooling of American. In fact, air conditioning has substantially altered the countrys character and customs. Many of the byproducts are so conspicuous（显而易见的） that they are scarcely noticed. To begin with, air-conditioning transformed the face of America by making possible those glassy, boxy, sealed-in skyscrapers. It has been indispensable, no less, to the functioning of sensitive advanced computers, whose high operating temperatures require that they be constantly cooled. . . It has, at will, forced families into going back into families with closed doors and shut windows to improve the effects of the air-conditioning, reducing the interactions of neighborhood life. I think there is no need explaining the seriousness of this consequence（后果）. It is really surprising that the publics often noted withdrawal into self-pursuit and privacy has kept in pace with the historic spread of air-conditioning. Though science has little studied how habitual air-conditioning affects mind and body, some medical experts suggest that, like other technical avoidance of natural changes in climate, air-conditioning may damage the human capacity to adapt to stress. If so, air-conditioning is only like many other greatly useful technical developments that liberate（解放） man from nature by increasing his productivity and power in some way - while indirectly weakening him in others.32. According to this passage, which of the following played a role in the forming of the unique character of U.S.? A. Its advanced computerized civilization. B. Its excessive use of air-conditioning. C. Its publics retreating into self-pursuit. D. Its greatest contribution to human civilization.33. According to the author, the chief consequence brought about by the wide application of air-conditioning is _. A. the loss of human capacity to adapt to changes in climate B. the reduction of social communications of neighborhood life C. the active life style of all its users D. the decreased human production and power34. The tone of this passage reveals that air-conditioning _. A. has little effect on its users B. has more effect on body than on mind C. brings only damage to its users D. does harm as well as good to its users35. What is the authors overall attitude towards air-conditioning? A. NeutralB. ObjectiveC. CriticalD. Compromising 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。Culture ShockCulture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings (of surprise, uncertainty, confusion, etc.) felt when people have to operate within a different and unknown cultural or social environment, such as a foreign country.Generally speaking, we could say that there are four stages of culture shock. The first stage is called “the honeymoon”. In this stage, you are excited about living in a different place. 36 The next stage is “the hostility(敌意)stage”. In this stage, you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was. 37 Moreover, people dont treat you like a guest anymore.Then you come to the third stage called “recovery”. In this stage, you start to feel more positive. _38_ The whole situation starts to become more favorable and you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it.The last stage of culture shock is called “adjustment”. In this stage, you have reached a point where you actually feel good. 39 The things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand. Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable. Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages. 40 It also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another (e.g., from high school to college). AYou feel that friends should help each other to deal with culture shock. BAnd you try to develop comprehension of everything you dont understand.CIn addition, culture shock is not limited to the overseas visitor.DYou become tired of many things about the new culture. EYou have learned enough to understand the new culture.FYou begin to understand you need to travel a lot.GAnd everything seems to be marvelous and everybody seems to be so nice to you. 第三部分 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从4160各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I met Ryan，a young man with cerebral palsy (脑瘫)，in my biology class.
