I realized that whenever Im watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesnt like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometime even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Years Eve to check out what every household was making.I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room , a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumping fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds.Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat be-fore the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.I dont think its right to criticize ones choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.Its not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think its a delicacy, and its connected to their culture. I think its a wonderful tradition.4. What did the writer become aware of?A. She had ever typed a report about seeds.B.

Peter decided to use the money he made for a days work, as well as the $10 per year he earned for his service, to give back to his community.“Ive got nothing but good things from the city and the citizens,” Peter said. “I take what I make in a day and add that $120 that the police association was going to give me, and Ill just add it up to $500 and get some gift cards for people.”So after fourteen years serving as a police officer, Peter spent his last day doing that. Using his own money, Peter purchased five gift cards from Target and five gift cards from the grocery chain Cub Foods worth $ 50 each and handed them out to strangers in Brooklyn Center.It took him about two hours to give away the cards and that he could put smiles on a lot of peoples faces, including one woman he stopped after noticing the condition of her car. “Her car was really old and really damaged. I saw her windshield wipers were stuck in the up position,” Peter recalled. “I explained what I was doing and gave her a gift card, and immediately, she lit up with a smile.”Once people overcame the initial shock of what he was doing, Peter said he received a lot more hugs that day. Monique Drier, who stayed with Peter, said Peter has always wanted to give back and didnt really want the attention. “He didnt even have a going-away party,” Drier said.Peter, who started his new job three days ago, said he still wanted to continue giving back to the community. “Community service is extremely important, and when youre fortunate in life, you should give back to others who arent as fortunate as you,” Peter said. “Thats what makes the world go round.”8.

Peter returned what he earned in his work to the police station.DNisha Pradhan is worried. The recent college graduate just turns 21 and plans to live on her own. But shes afraid she wont be able to stay safe. Thats because she isnt able to smell.Back home, her family do her smelling for her. Shes moved in with them for now, but shes looking for a place of her own. “Now that Im searching for ways or place to live as an independent person, I find that the sense of smell is important to how we live our lives,” Pradhan says.She says when she was a child she liked to eat and ate a lot. But there came a point where she lost interest in food. “One of the first things that people notice whenever they have a smell problem is that food doesnt taste right any-more,” says Beverly Cowart, a researcher. Thats because eating and smell go hand in hand. How food tastes often relies on what we smell. “When you lose your sense of smell, your whole sense of food flavor s changed and reduced,” Cowart says, “You can still taste the basic tastes. What youre missing are the small distinctions.”“When I go out to eat I have often found that that food is very tasteless to me. I never feel full,” she says. “I think a lot of us today like to pretend to be food lovers and we all like to talk about Oh, I think this could use a little bit more flavor, or I think this has a hint of meat, I cant really participate in those conversations,” she says.Pradam thinks her smell loss also may have affected her memory. Pradhan may be on to something, according to biologist Paul Moore. “When smell signals come in, you feel about them first. And then you think about it and then the memory is laid down. So without the feel part, the thinking about its part doesnt come. And that means no new smell memory gets created.”12. What problem does Pradhan meet with at present?A. That she has no sense of smell.B. That she doesnt have her own house.C. That she lacks life skills to live alone.D. That she is too nervous to live alone.13. What can we infer from what Beverly Cowart said?A. People with a smell problem have no food tastes.B. Lack of smell sense makes eating a dull experience.C. Different food tastes the same for people of smell loss.D. People feel hungry easily for lack of smell sense.14. When eating out, Pradhan_.A. has a sense of being full quicklyB. often has a good appetiteC. pretends to have good smell senseD. feels left out sometimes15. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. Pradhan may be crazy.B. Pradhan may be foolish.C. Pradhan may be right.D. Pradhan may be forgettable.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可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。This habit was picked from my teacher back in 1988. Back then it seemed trivial（琐碎）and not likely to make any significant influence on my life. 16 The habit that has made the greatest influence on my life is scheduling. In my mind, it is the tiny daily habit that indeed can be life-changing. Scheduling is not just about the ordering of tasks throughout the day. 17 If you are able to design the right schedule and follow it, you are able to gain massive rewards for your work. 18 However, everything is likely to boil down to the most precious asset（财富）, namely time. If you are able to master your time and follow the schedule, you will not lose any minute doing things that do not matter or add no value. The tiny daily habit of scheduling your day is important. In the short term, it might seem boring and inefficient. 19 It can provide you with the greatest opportunity possible. 20 A. Master your timeB. Only time will tell.C. Forming tiny daily habit is not an easy task for us.D. However, a few years later I realized its true power.E. It is about the proper allocation and usage of your time and effort.F. One can endlessly argue about the things that have the biggest value in our lives.G. However, in the long run, the habit of scheduling your tasks and plans will pay off.笫二部分：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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和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。Please Beat MeI once had the opportunity to meet Dan Miller, an Amish neighbor of mu dad.
