simple man with simple perspectives. so my experience of foreign culture boils down to three basic stages: anger, acceptance and appreciation. when i began my life in china i was often filled with frustration and 1 over the way things were. things were seen as clearly “ 2 ” and i rejected the view of there being other ways of doing things. afterwards i came to 3 different ways of doing things but still saw my own ways as superior.my views were still heavily colored by 4 and i often accepted situations i felt 5 by simply coining the phrase thats china, 6 china was a backward country that simply didnt do things correctly. finally, however , i came to understand and appreciate the new 7 and ways of doing things, sometimes using them as effectively as the 8 .for example, fish is never 9 with the head in my country, thus my feelings went from “ugh! i cant eat this! the fish is 10 at me saying, youre a 11 man. take this off the table,” to “ill let my friends enjoy, but ill just stick with the other dishes,” and to would anyone mind if i eat the eyeball?it is not the same with every westerner, and some take 12 than others to go through the three stages. it all depends on how 13 you are and how tightly you 14 to your own culture. it took a little over a year of living in china before i finally appreciate the new culture. now, im more 15 in china than in my own country.1. a.

were tours of the old school building and a picnic at confederate park. several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days. ms. mabel yates, the english teacher for over fifty years, was wheeled to the park.some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(嘟囔声)when ms.yates was about to speak. many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined.then ms. yates started to speak:“i cant tell you how pleased i am to be here. i havent seen many of you since your graduation, but i have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. i have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. although i havent appeared in person, i have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the births your children, in my imagination.”ms. yates paused and started crying a bit. then she continued:“it was my belief that if i pushed you as hard as i could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. regardless of our motives, i can see that you have all been successful in you chosen path.”“there is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. you have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and i want you to know i love you all from the bottom of my heart.”there was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. the clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar(呼喊). lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all

endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. with the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill. however, while todays educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful-both in school and in life.virginia berninger, professor of educational psychology at the university of washington, says its important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks-both on a computer and by hand. the study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.in a more recent study, berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a students writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active, which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. it is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” berninger said.spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换) “those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. seeing the words in the “minds eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says berninger, but also to spot(发现) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time.“in our computer age, some people believe that we dont have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “but until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they wont have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”31. what makes writing by hand a thing of the past?a. the absence of blackboard in classrooms.b. the use of new technologies in teaching.c. the lack of practice in handwriting.d. the popular use of smartphones.32. berningers study published in 2009 _.a. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.b. indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.c. found that good essays are made up of long sentences.d. discussed the importance of writing speed.33. which of the following best shows the role of spelling?a. spelling improves ones memory of words.b. spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.c. spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.d. spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.34. what does “minds eye” in paragraph 5 mean?a. window. b. soul c. picture. d. imagination.35. what conclusion could be drawn from the passage?a. computers can help people with their choice of words. b. spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.c. handwriting still has a place in todays classrooms.d. functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade. cwith the tesla roadster and other plugin (插入式) electric vehicles hitting the road，demand is growing for accessible refueling points to recharge them. carbon day automotive，a chicagobased company，has now demonstrated a solarpowered recharging point，known as the solar plugin station，which lets motorists easily charge their cars using electricity that has been produced without any environmental damage.the solar plugin station has gone on show in chicago as part of the citys bid to host the 2016 olympic games. according to carbon day automotive，the solar plugin station on show in chicago is part of the vital infrastructure(基础设施) required for electric vehicles in chicago and was the focus of a recent visit by the international olympic committee.these solarpowered electricity points will be used daily to fuel the citys electric vehicles with power from the sun. by producing the electricity from pollutionfree solar cell，the co2 emissions are reduced to zero.“solar energy and electric vehicles are a partnership that is one more step to reducing our dependence on foreign oil,” says richard lowenthal, ceo of coulomb technologies.coulomb technologies recently developed the components (部件) required for individual recharging stations，marketed as charge point networked charging stations.carbon day automotive is the midwest distributor for the charge point stations. the solar plugin station consists of giant solar panels (电池板) that shade the tiny charge point networked charging station.the solar panel is connected to an underground battery pack，ready for everyday refueling.“without these stations it would be like driving around in a traditional car without the availability of gas stations，” says scott emalfarb，ceo at carbon day.“the day of true plugin electric vehicles will be here sooner than most people realize and the world needs to be ready to accommodate them.”36. the solar plugin station is used as part of the bid to host the olympics mainly because _.a. its

preschoolers turn up their noses at carrots or celery, a small reward like a sticker for taking even a taste may help get them to eat previously disliked foods, a uk study said.though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young children to eat their vegetables, the idea is actually controversial, researchers wrote in the american journal of clinical nutrition. thats because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked, said jane wardle, a researcher at university college london who worked on the study. verbal praise, such as “brilliant! youre a great vegetable taster,” did not work as well.the study found t hat when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a “tiny taste” of a disliked vegetable, it gradually changed their attitudes. the children were also willing to eat more of the vegetables-either carrots, celery, cucumber, red pepper, cabbage or sugar snap peas-in laboratory taste tests, the study said.researchers randomly assigned（分派）173 families to one of these groups. in one, parents used stickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable. a second group of parents used verbal praise. the third group, where parents used no special vegetable-promoting methods, served as a “control”.parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the “target” vegetable every day of 12 days, soon after, children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables-and were willing to eat more in the research lab, going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12-day experience. the turnaround also seemed to last, with preschoolers in the sticker group still willing to eat more of the once disliked vegetable three months later.why didnt the verbal praise work? wardle said the parents words may have seemed “insincere” to their children.41the purpose of writing the passage is .ato introduce a practical method of making children eat vegetablesbto show the procedure of an experiment on childrens dietcto explain why children hate to eat vegetablesdto present a proper way of vernal praise to parents42the underlined word “backfire” in paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.ashoot from behind the backbmake a fire in the backyardcproduce an unexpected resultdachieve what was planned43according to the passage, which of the following statements is true?amost children are born to dislike carrots or celery.bit remains a question whether rewarding is a good way to get children to eat vegetables.coral praise wokrs quite well in encouraging children to eat vegetables.dchildren in the sticker group will never lose interest in eating vegetables.44how did the researchers get their conclusion from the experiment?aby comparison.bby asking questions.cby giving examples dby discussion.45what can we learn from the last paragraph?achildren like rewards, not verbal praise.bparents should praise their children in a sincere tone.cchildren are difficult to inspire.dparents should give up verbal praise. 第二节 信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) （注意：信息匹配题请答在机读卡上，选项e
