When I was a baby I would stand in my wooden crib(婴儿床) and watch the world go by through the window. Some neighbors watched me watching the world go by with by big, wondering eyes and found me very interesting. They used to call me “the beauty at the window”. The early neighbors I could remember were from the second house I lived in. Peter and Paul were twins. We went to play school together although they were a year older than me. I well remember the Alsatian they had which ran into me when I was invited to their fifth birthday party. Needless to say, I was well-known for my loud screams after the party. But they said the pet was scared of my screams and didnt appear until the party was over.Peter and Paul were the first boys who encouraged me to climb the gate. I could never tell the difference between boy and girl behaviorsI just did what I thought was fun. Not only did I have a great time performing that first climb, I also got my skirts dirty, and was criticized by my mother.The Japanese neighbors I had living in this same house were my favorite, as they introduced me to sea-salt baked shrimps (烤虾) which were so crisp that you could eat the shrimp totally. They gave me some seaweed for my birthday. Thankfully, no other member in my family enjoyed the seaweed as I did. Perhaps what my mother used to joke to me was true, that I was picked up out of the dustbin that belonged to a Japanese home.Maybe sometimes it is difficult to find good neighbors in this society. But all it takes is a spark(火花) to get a fire going. I have decided to be that spark wherever I live and pass love on to my neighbors.21.

Flight Service To Pick You UpCTo the mom I used to be:Two years ago, you were happy and whole. You had a plan for life - start a new business, get involved in the Parent-teacher Association, teach your sons how to ride bicycles, spend as much time with your friends and parents as possible, watch your children mature and grow old with your husband. You were a “glass half full” person who often felt so much joy. You always looked forward, smiled and danced.Two years ago, on December 14,2012, the world changed and you changed with it. Disturbed young men with access to high-powered guns went to your sons school and killed six educators and twenty first- graders. Your eldest son Jake survived, but was changed by the day he discovered some monsters are real. He describes it as the day “when evils came to my school.” Your youngest son, Dylan, whom you thought of as a pure love, with his charming eyes and infectious giggle(微笑)，was killed. Shot multiple times, he died instantly in the arms of his special- education assistant who also died while trying to protect him.The tragedy changed all your life, not only because of losing your child, but because of the hole inside you that can never be filled. Your eldest son has been forced to grow up too fast because of the loss of his brother. The pain has altered the lines on your husbands face. The way you look at the world has changed. Your interactions with friends and family seem foreign. But the things have moved on with hopefulness. You are now someone far more realistic. You control your feelings because you fear if you really let it out, you would never recover. It would destroy you. You know what you should do is try everything to protect more children. Youre fighting a good fight, what the whole society really needs. With love, Nicole Hockley, Dylans mom28.

Youve got the pressure of studies and exams.From time to time, you may feel depressed and frustrated. When depression strikes, you have to take measures to fight it. One of the strangest ways to fight depression is to eat salt, scientists have found.Salt acts as a natural antidepressant (抗抑郁剂), researchers say. While too much can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease, not enough can cause “psychological(心理的) depressions”, a study has reported.The study, by researchers at the University of Iowa in the US, discovered that when rats are deficient in salt, they dont do activities they normally enjoy.The recommended daily salt intake for an adult is four grams, although experts say the body needs only half as much.However, most adults in the developed world consume（消耗）around ten grams a day, mainly because their diets contain high salt amounts. Today, 77 percent of US salt intake comes from processed and restaurant foods, like frozen dinners and fast food.The minerals in salt are required by the bodyin small quantitiesto help move liquid in and out of cells. But too much can cause diseases, for example high blood pressure.Today scientists are finding that salt is an addictive substancealmost like a drug.One sign of addiction is using a substance even when its known to be harmful. Many people are told to eat less salt due to health concerns, but they have trouble doing so because they like the taste and find low-salt foods tasteless.Humans have a long history of eating salt. In the Stone Age, people didnt need to find salt, because they hunted most of their food, and ate a lot of red meat, which has plenty of salt in it. But when people began to farm, about 10,000 BC, they started to eat mainly grains like rice and wheat, and very little meat. Then they had to find another way to get salt.32. What does the underlined word deficient in the third paragraph mean?A. enough B. far from enough C. more than enough D. plenty33. The major role of salt is to _.A. help the body work wellB. help fight against depressionD. help people get rid of an addiction to drugsD. help people enjoy sugary substances34. Which of the following statements is true?A. People have trouble reducing salt because they dont know it is harmful toeat too much of it.B. Before 10,000 BC, human beings did not need salt.C. The richer the country is, the more salt is eaten there.D. Taking more than 4 grams of salt a day can be harmful for an adults health.35. What kind of food should people eat more of?A. Frozen food B. Fast food C. Red meat D Low-salt food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。One of the greatest biologists the world has ever seen was Charles Darwin. Darwin was born to a middle-class family in Shrewsbury, England, in February, 1809. His father was the leading doctor of the town. 36 He loved to walk through the woods looking at plants and birds. At the proper age, he was admitted into Shrewsbury School. There he studied Latin, classical literature, and ancient history. Young Charles thought that these subjects were dull and useless. He would have preferred scientific studies. 37 In 1825, at the age of sixteen, Darwin was sent to Scotland to study medicine. He studied there for two years and continued to do poorly. He once wrote to his sister that his medical courses were completely stupid. By then, Darwins father knew that his son would never become a doctor.Darwins father then sent him to Cambridge to become a clergyman (牧师). During his Cambridge years, Darwin loved to collect beetles(甲虫), but to him it was only a hobby. He didnt take it seriously. 38 That was Professor John Henslow, the head of the Botany Department.Somehow, Darwin managed to graduate from Cambridge in 1831. Upon graduation, Professor Henslow arranged for him to go with Captain Fitzroy on a survey trip around the world. During the voyage, Darwin collected rocks, bones, and insects. He took many notes on all that he observed. 39 The widely believed theory in those days was that God created each creature separately and individually. In 1859, Darwin published his famous book, The Origin of Species. 40 The theory was instantly and very strongly attacked. Darwin was accused of destroying religion and insulting (侮辱) the human race. Today, however, Darwins theory is considered to be one of the major discoveries of modern science.A. As a result, he did poorly.B. One person at Cambridge, however, did.C. As a boy, Darwin showed a great interest in living things.D. In it, he explained his theory of evolution by natural selection.E. Shrewsbury was a busy market town surrounded by rich farmlands.F.

By the time Darwin died in 1882, he was recognized as one of Englands greatest scientists.第二部分：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，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Youve probably seen blind people walking with their trusted and gentle four-legged guides-or “seeing-eye” dogs.
