dollars in uncashed travelers checks, and is asleep at the moment. his blue duffel(粗呢) bag lies on the floor where he dropped it. obviously, he postponed as much sleep as he could: when he walked in and we hugged, his electrical system suddenly switched off, and he headed directly for the bed, where i imagine he beat his old record of sixteen hours.it was his first trip overseas, so weeks before it, i pressed travel books on him, and a tape cassette of useful french phrases; drew up a list of people to visit; advised him on clothing and other things. at the luggage store where we went to buy him a suitcase, he headed for the duffels, saying that suitcases were more for old people. during the trip, he called home three times: from london, paris, and a village named ullapool. near ullapool, he climbed a mountain in a rainstorm that almost blew him off. in the village, a man spoke to him in gaelic, and, too polite to interrupt, my son listened to him for ten or fifteen minutes, trying to nod in the right places. the french he learned from the cassette didnt hold water in paris. the french he talked to shrugged and walked on.when my son called, i sat down at the kitchen table and leaned forward and hung on every word. his voice came through clearly, though two of the calls were like ship-to-shore communication. when i interrupted him with a “great!” or a “really?”, i knocked a little hole in his communication. so i just sat and listened. i have never listened to a telephone so attentively and with so much pleasure. it was wonderful to hear news from him that was so new to me. in my book, he was the first man to land on the moon, and i knew that i had no advice to give him and that what i had already given was probably not much help.the unused checks are certainly evidence of that. youth travels light. no suitcase, not much luggage and a slim expense account, and yet he went to the scene, and came back safely. i sit here amazed. the night when your child returns with dust on his shoes from a country youve never seen is a night you would gladly turn into a week. 21. during the trip, the authors son _.a. didnt have enough sleep b. ran out of moneyc. forgot to call his motherd. failed to take good pictures22. according to the passage, which of the following could best describe the authors son?a. polite and careless. b. considerate and independent.c. creative and stubborn. d. self-centered and adventurous.23. what does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to? a. it is important to listen to your childs story. b. its easy to interrupt the chat with your child. c. the author is proud of her son landing on the moon.d. the son no longer needs much help from his mother.24. what can we infer from the passage?a. good parents should protect their children from potential dangers.b. the world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.c. communication between parents and children is extremely important. d. its a win-win choice to give a child space to experience and explore. b.can you believe your eyes? a recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age. martin doherty, a psychologist at the university of stirling in scotland, led the team of scientists. in this experiment, doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力) of some people, using pictures of some orange circles. the researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. the first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10, and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.the first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background. one of the circles was larger than the other, and these people were asked to identify the larger one. four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time. adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.next, both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles, again of different sizes, were surrounded by gray circles. heres where the trick lies in. in some of the pictures, the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle, which was the real larger one. and the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circlesso it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.when young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures, they werent fooledthey were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy(准确性) as before. older children and adults, on the other hand, did not do as well. older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one, and adults got it wrong most of the time.as children get older, doherty said, their brains may develop the ability to identify visual（视觉的） context. in other words, they will begin to process the whole picture at once: the tricky gray circles, as well as the orange circle in the middle. as a result, theyre more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick.25. doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate_. a. childrens and adults eye-sight b. childrens and adults brains c. peoples ability to see accurately d. the influence of peoples age26. when asked to find the larger circle,_. a. children at 4 got it right about 79 % of the time with gray ones around b. only adults over 18 got it right 95% of the time with gray ones around c. children at 6 got it wrong 79 % of the time with no gray ones around d. adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around 27. according to the passage, we can know that_. a. a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white background b. an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same size c. a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size d. a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real size28. why are younger children not fooled? _. a. because they are smarter than older children and adults. b. because older people are influenced by their experience. c. because peoples eyes become weaker as they grow older. d. because their brain can hardly notice related things together. c. the united states estimates that about one out of every 10 people on the planet today is at least 60 years old. by 2050, its projected to be one out of 5. this means that not only will there be more old people, but there will be relatively fewer young people to support them.professor richard lee of the university of california at berkeley says this aging of the world has a great effect on economics. “population aging increases the concentration of population in the older ages and therefore it is costly,” he said.aging populations consume (消耗) more and produce less. with more people living longer, it could get expensive. but mr. lee says with continuing increases in worker productivity and smart planning, it can be manageable.societies have different methods for caring for the elderly, but each carries a cost. generally, there are three types of support. seniors can live off the wealth they gained when they were younger. they can rely on their family to take care of them, or they can rely on the government.in industrialized nations, governments created publicly-funded (公共资助的) support systems. these worked relatively well until recent years, when aging population growth in places like the united states and western europe began to gradually weaken the systems finances. these nations now face some tough choices. mr. lee says the elderly in some of these countries must either receive less money, retire later or increase taxes to make the system continuable.most developing nations havent built this type of government-funded support, but have instead relied on families to care for their elderly. these nations also generally have a much younger population, which means their situation is not as urgent as more developed nations. but mr. lee says that doesnt mean they can ignore the issue. “third world countries should give very careful thought to this process, to population aging and how it may affect their economies now, before population aging even becomes an issue,” he explained.29. “aging” in this text means _ .a. there are more young people than old peopleb. an increasing number of old people are dyingc. more and more young people are growing oldd. the percentage of old people in the world is increasing30. what is professor richard lees attitude towards population aging?a. indifferent. b. negative. c. optimistic. d. worried.31. the publicly-funded support systems in industrialized nations_.a. are facing the risk of failingb. have failed to provide support for the oldc. will be replaced by other support systemsd. have greatly affected the nations economies32. we can infer from the text that developing nations_.a. dont see population aging as an issue b. should prepare for population aging.c. are facing urgent situations of population agingd. have better ways to deal with population aging.第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 1 分，满分 5 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。 self-confidence, motivation (动机), support and knowledge are the main factors determining if one succeeds or fails. each of these factors influences our chances of success in a different way. 33 . lack of self-confidence is probably the most dreadful enemy of success. 34 even the most capable person is sure to fail with such an attitude. if it is your case too, improving your self-confidence is a must.motivation is equally as important as self-confidence. 35 you may even not try to achieve the goal that lies before you. it is important to find out what is the best motivation for you. if you have to do something that does not motivate you, just treat yourself with a reward after you succeed. of course, this reward should consist of something that will motivate you to pursue(追求) a success. 36 while it is not a must for succeeding in your goals, a lack of support can often lead to failure. it is also true that some people cannot succeed without a proper support from their surroundings. these people often lose their motivation or worse, their self-confidence. if you know such a person, supporting him or her is a right thing to do. also surround yourself with the right people. you will see the results soon. pursuing realistic goals is also important for a success. you should always make sure that your goals are achievable. 37 unrealistic goals usually lead to a fast failure and also make many people embarrassed.a.as we know, many people try but do not succeed.b.consider all your knowledge and skills when setting up a goal.c.motivation is something in yourself that can push you forwards.d.there are several main reasons why some people cannot succeed.e.supportive family and collective workplace are also very important.f.without it, you will not push yourself towards a better performance.g.thinking you are not good enough to achieve your goals is the same as deciding that you will not succeed.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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c 和
