gibbs. he didnt look like any doctor id ever known. he never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very kind.when doctor gibbs wasnt saving lives, he was planting trees. his house sat on ten acres, and his lifes goal was to make it a forest. he had some interesting theories about planting trees. he hardly watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. once i asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. he said you had to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. he talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water. so, instead of watering his trees every morning, hed beat them with a rolled-up newspaper. i asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees attention.doctor gibbs died a couple of years after i left home. every now and then, i walked by his house and looked at the trees that id watched him plant some twenty five years ago. they were all tall, big and robust since they have deep roots now.i planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. two years of attending these trees meant they grew up weak. whenever a cold wind blew, their branches trembled. adversity(逆境) seemed to benefit doctor gibbs trees in ways comfort and ease never could.every night before i go to bed, i check on my two sons. i often pray that their lives will be easy. but lately ive been thinking that its time to change my prayer. i know my children are going to meet with hardship. theres always a cold wind blowing somewhere. what we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we wont be torn apart.21. with the trees planted, doctor gibbs _a. kept watering them every morning b. paid little attention to themc. talked to them to get their attentiond. beat them to make them grow deep roots22. the underlined word “robust” in para.3 probably means _?a. strange b. deep c. strong d. old23. which of the following will be the authors prayer on the days ahead?a. have an easy life, without too much to worry about.b. meet people like dr. gibbs in the future.c. have good luck, encountering less hardship in their life. d. be able to stand the rain and wind in their lives.24. which of thefollowing can be the best title of the passage?a. growing rootsb. doctor gibbs and his treesc.prayers for my sonsd. watering treesbyou get anxious if theres no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. you feel upset if your phone is getting low on power and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if youre not there. all these can be called “always on” stress caused by smart phone addiction.for some people, smart phones have liberated them from the nine-to-five work. flexible working has given them more autonomy in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. for many others though, smart phones have become cruel masters in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off and relax.pittsburgh-based developer kevin holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favor of his iphone. so he developed an app moment to monitor his usage. the app enables users to see how much time theyre spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are broken. “moments goal is to promote balance in your life,” his website explains. “some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”dr. christine grant, an occupational psychologist at coventry university, said, “the effects of this always on culture are that your mind is never resting, and youre not giving your body time to recover, so youre always stressed. and the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. physical and mental health can suffer.”and as the number of connected smart phones is increasing, so is the amount of data. this is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “it actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because theyre controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said dr. christine grant.25. whats the first paragraph mainly about? a. the popularity of smart phones. b. the progress of modern technology.c. the signs of “always on” stress. d. the cause of smart phone addiction.26. kevin holesh developed moment to _.a. research how people use their mobile phonesb. help people control their use of mobile phonesc. make people better use mobile phonesd. increase the fun of using mobile phones27. whats dr. christine grants attitude towards “always on” culture?a. confused. b. positive. c. doubtful. d. critical.28. according to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means _.a. we will become less productive b. we can make a decision more quickly c. we will be equipped with more knowledge d. we can work more effectivelycresidence inn

ways. there are some people who can calculate the day of the week for any given date in 40,000 years, but who cannot add two plus two. others can perform complex classical piano pieces after hearing them once, but they cannot read or write.dr. j. langdon down first described this condition in 1887. he called these people idiot savants. an idiot savant is a person who has significant mental injury, such as in autism (自闭症) or retardation. at the same time, the person also exhibits some extraordinary skills, which are unusual for most people. the skills of the savant may vary from being exceptionally gifted in music or in mathematics, or having a photographic memory.one of the first descriptions of a human who could calculate quickly was written in 1789 by dr. benjamin rush, an american doctor. his patient, thomas fuller, was brought to virginia as a slave in 1724. it took thomas only 90 seconds to work out that a man who has lived 70 years, 17 days, and 12 hours has lived 2,210,500,800 seconds. despite this ability, he died in 1790 without ever learning to read or write.another idiot savant slave became famous as a pianist in the 1860s. blind tom had a vocabulary of only 100 words, but he played 5,000 musical pieces beautifully.in the excellent movie rain man, made in 1988 and available on video cassette, dustin hoffman plays an idiot savant who amazes his brother played by tom cruise, with his ability to perform complex calculations very rapidly.today we more clearly recognize that the idiot savant is special because of brain impairment. yet not all brain injury leads to savant skills. some studies have shown that people who have purposeful interruption of the left side of the brain can develop idiot savant skills. however few people wish to participate in such experiments. there are many excellent reasons for not undergoing unnecessary experimentation on ones brain. the term idiot savant is outdated and inappropriate. virtually all savants have a high degree of intelligence and are thus not idiots.33. what does the passage mainly talk about?a. idiot savants have areas of outstanding abilities.b. human beings have complicated thinking process.c. the brains of the idiot savants are partly impaired.d. the reasons why people have wonderful skills vary.34. which of the following can be done by rain man?a. he can play wonderful pieces of classical music.b. he can guess out exactly the length of a mans life.c. he can memorize the contents of the pictures fast.d. he can count matches dropped on the floor quickly.35. what can you infer from the passage?a. idiot savants have real talents for art and math.b. dr. down is the first person who found idiot savants.c. few people wish to risk becoming savants by brain operations.d. intentional left brain impairments will surely lead to idiot savants.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。there is one type of illness in the world that affects more people than anything else and is very deadly. what is this illness? it is depression. serious depression requires professional treatment. 36 everyones circumstances are different, but the causes of self-induced (自我诱导)depression are common: low self-esteem, hurtful thinking and a bad attitude. 37 1. examine ourselves and set a goal.first we must look at ourselves, truly and honestly examining our motives for what we wish to achieve. if you are dissatisfied because you feel you havent or cant do anything, then one step is neededto set goals. 38 think of them as sand; one grain may be insignificant but as a group they form the beach. once you have set and attained small goals for yourself, move on to slightly larger, more challenging goals. 2. 39 there are a number of factors that can make us think negatively and one of those is diet. in my opinion, a person who eats a lot of take-out and fast food is feeding their body junk. start by eating better foods which give the body much needed minerals. if your physical body is happy, its much easier for your mental body or “thinking ability” to be happy. 3. think about good things and smilethink about good memories you had, or generally think of things that make you smile. 40 a smile can be the difference between an average day and a great day. if you follow these steps, positive change is inevitable. a. go on a diet and keep a good figure.b. remember, everything you wear costs money but to wear a smile is free.c. however, self-induced depression is something each of us can change. d. feed ourselves well and be physically health. e. always start your goals relatively small and easy to attain.f. good memories help you keep a good state of mind.g. so how can we change the way we think, feel, and cultivate a cheerful attitude? 第三部分 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、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。personally i think trains are exciting and romantic. i must 41 that
