in todays society, it is far easier to make children lose concentration than to teach personal development 50 and thats a common problem. for example, it is much easier for parents to buy a new toy or turn on the television for their children than to 51 their curiosity (好奇)in a natural way. this strong 52 to know the world will lead them through self-learning, by which they would slowly value the 53 of hard work and patience. basically, the easiest method for parents to teach patience to their children is not by 54 them things, but by giving their children an opportunity to learn what they are interested in. thus, parents can teach their children the same 55 lessons that they have painfully learned too. the point is, realize what they lack and take action immediately.36. a. neglect(忽略)b. refusec. promised. hesitate37. a. teachersb. doctorsc. housesd. bedrooms38. a. cleverb. oldc. richd. good39. a. as a result of b. for the purpose ofc. instead of d. regardless of40. a. prepareb. understandc. valued. accept41. a. besidesb. otherwisec. somehowd.therefore42. a. less thanb. more thanc. not more thand. no more than43. a. positiveb. littlec. naturald. immediate44. a. attentionb. helpc. attituded.contribution45. a. provideb. organizec. watchd. require46. a. needb.developc. drawd. improve47. a. timeb. patiencec. effortd. hope48. a. asb. unlessc. sinced. though49. a. learnb. researchc.teachd. have50. a. directionsb. experiencesc. coursesd. skills51. a. satisfyb. showc.studyd. follow52. a. positionb. pointc. orderd. desire53. a. costb. rewardsc. relationsd. differences54. a. passingb. readingc. buyingd. making55. a. interestingb. hardc. speciald. strange第三部分阅读理解（共15题，每题2分，满分30分） ai have this old clock that belonged to my mom. my dad gave it to me years ago after mom passed away. i have mixed feelings about keeping the clock. i love it because it was my moms, but it also holds some bad memories. you see, it chimes (打钟报时). it counts out the hour and rings once on the half hour. or at least it used to. now you never know what number it will ring. when my mother was at home dying from cancer, she asked for the clock to be unplugged (拔去插头等). hearing the hours count down really angered and frightened her. mom passed away. i decided i wanted to get the clock fixed so i could remember the good hours we had with her. i took it to a local clock shop the other day. “i know this has no particular value as a clock, but it was my moms and i need to get it fixed,” i said to the shop owner. i went on to describe the problem. “we get a lot of these in,” he told me. “heres what i do. we remove the clock works (机件) and replace it with a battery -operated movement (机芯) that chimes electronically,” he told me. “you cant fix this?” “no, we dont have the time nor the parts.” i thanked him and went home. i called a few other places and was told the same thing. “how incredibly sad,” i told the last one disappointedly. we copy the original instead of creating something new. we duplicate (复制); we dont originate (发明). how incredibly sad that we have become a society that replaces craftsmanship (手艺) with convenience and easy fixes. sadly, this is also our attitude toward life itself. each of us is an original, one of a kind. but we find it so much easier to copy anothers style than to develop our own. we are wannabes (崇拜别人的人) rather than “hey-world-look-at-me”. we fail to see the real value in who we are, so we spend our lives trying to be someone else.56. the author decided to get the clock fixed because it _. a. was a really old and valuable clock b. left the author with mixed feelings c. was the only thing that his mother had left him d. brought him memories of being with his mother57. what did the clock shop owners tell the author? a. it would cost a lot to repair the clock. b. they could only make the clock electronic. c. the parts that the clock needed were electronic. d. they had never repaired a clock like this before.58. the purpose of the article is to criticize _. a. the irresponsible clock shop owners b. people who do not value things with a history c. people who do not have a creative attitude toward lifed. peoples ignorance (无知) of traditional craftsmanship b unlike chemists and physicists, who usually do their experiments using machines, biologists and medical researchers have to use living things like rats. but there are three nobel prize-winning scientists who actually chose to experiment on themselves all in the name of science, reported the telegraph. werner forssmann (nobel prize winner in 1956) forssmann was a german scientist. he studied how to put a pipe inside the heart to measure the pressure inside and decide whether a patient needs surgery (手术).experiments had been done on horses before, so he wanted to try with human patients. but it was not permitted because the experiment was considered too dangerous.not giving up, forssmann decided to experiment on himself. he anaesthetized (麻醉) his own arm and made a cut, putting the pipe 30 centimeters into his vein (血管). he then climbed two floors to the x-ray room before pushing the pipe all the way into his heart. barry marshall (nobel prize winner in 2005) most doctors in the mid-20th century believed that gastritis was down to stress, spicy food or an unusually large amount of stomach acid (胃酸). but in 1979 an australian scientist named robin warren found that the disease might be related to a bacteria (细菌) called helicobacter pylori. so he teamed up with his colleague, barry marshall, to continue the study. when their request to experiment on patients was denied, marshall bravely drank some of the bacteria. five days later, he lost his appetite and soon was vomiting (呕吐) each morning he indeed had gastritis. ralph steinman (nobel prize winner in 2011) this canadian scientist discovered a new type of immune system cell (免疫细胞) called the dendritic cell. he believed that it had the ability to fight against cancer.steinman knew he couldnt yet use his method to treat patients. so in 2007, when doctors told him that he had cancer and that it was unlikely for him to live longer than a year, he saw an opportunity. with the help of his colleagues, he gave himself three different vaccines (疫苗) based on his research and a total of eight experimental therapies (疗法). even though steinman eventually died from his cancer, he lived four and a half years, much longer than doctors had said he would.59. the main purpose of the article is to _. a. list some famous nobel prize winners. b. introduce a few nobel prize winners who did experiments on themselves. c. describe some dangerous experiments that nobel prize-winners did on themselves. d. list some difficulties that scientists go through to make important discoveries in biology .60. which of the following is true according to the article? a. forssmanns experiment ended in failure. b. forssmann had the pipe pushed all the way into his heart. c. barry marshall succeeded by drinking some helicobacter pylori. d. barry marshall was given full responsibility for the study on gastritis at first.61. the underlined word “gastritis” in paragraph 5 probably means _. a. a kind of stomach disease b. a kind of immune cell c. a new type of therapy d. a type of leg cancer62. from the text, we can conclude that ralph steinman _. a. had his request to experiment on patients denied b. believed that cancer comes from stress and spicy food c. discovered a new type of cancer cell called the dendritic cell d. tried different therapies containing the dendritic cell on himself calibaba started taking the lead in china, simply enough, by connecting big chinese manufacturers(制造商)with big buyers across the world. its business-to-business site, a allowed business to buy almost everything. alibabas advantage wasnt hard to identify: size. alibaba is just big, even by chinese standards. its marketplaces attract 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a yearand alibaba is just the middleman. it encourages people to use its marketsnot charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.if you want a quick look into the influence of alibaba on daily chinese life, take my experience. i moved to beijing almost a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted. “youre looking for what exactly? why not try it? ” my chinese teacher asked me one day. with that, my wonderful new relationship with alibaba began. alibabas original business-to-business model now is secondary to consumer buying. chinese retail（零售）buying makes up 80% of alibabas profit, and leading that group is taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things youll ever find. tm is alibabas other big site, where you can find brand name goods from nike and unilever near the lowest prices. what i have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the u.s. is how china has gone beyond traditional shoppingbig-box retailers especially in favor of online purchases on taobao and a few other sites. in smaller towns than beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is taobao. i have a list of some of my recent purchases on taobao for a sense of how extensive the marketplace is. almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. im not even a big buyer, because i need friends to help me search the chinese-language site. when i was searching my purchase history on my chinese teachers ipad, which helps me buy goods, i looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.63. alibabas advantage mainly lies in _. a. its big size b. its business-to-business service c. its not charging small sellers d. its low price64. what can we learn from the underlined sentence in the passage? a. alibaba is of middle size among all the online sites b. alibaba will continue to develop. c. alibaba stands out as the best online site. d. alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers.65. what can be inferred from the passage? a. the authors chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover. b. taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites. c. alibabas business-to-business service earns more money than retail now. d. tm provides more profit than taobao.66. what is the passage mainly about? a. shopping online is taobao. b. the influence of shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping. c. alibaba greatly influences peoples daily purchase in china. d. how the author purchases online in china. d
