and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative(负面的) consequences of a decision.the research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways.“stress affects how people learn，” says professor mara mather.“people learn better about positive than negative outcomes under stress.”for example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images(影像)with either rewards or punishments. in one experiment, some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. in both cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadnt gone through the stress.this phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stressat those moments, only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind. but the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. not only are rewarding experiences remembered better, but negative consequences are also easily recalled.the research also found that stress appears to affect decisionmaking differently in men and women. while both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different.men who had been stressed by the coldwater task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way. in stressful situations in which risktaking can pay off big, men may tend to do better; when caution weighs more, however, women will win.this tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.64we can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to _.akeep rewards better in their memorybrecall consequences more effortlesslycmake risky decisions more frequentlydlearn a subject more effectively65according to the research, stress affects people most probably in their _.aways of making choicesbpreference for pleasurectolerance of punishmentsdresponses to suggestions66the research has proved that in a stressful situation, _.awomen find it easier to fall into certain habitsbmen have a greater tendency to slow downcwomen focus more on outcomesdmen are more likely to take risksba（2013四川卷）31. what you have just read is a _. a. note b. report c. schedule d. poster32. what is going to take place on 2 february, 2013? a. a big

asked. “next time you want to change anything, ask me first,” he said, and left. i had made just one small change. but its not that i hadnt been warned. my colleagues had said he was responsible for the resignations of the two previous secretaries. as the weeks went by, i came to look down on jack.after another of his episodes had left me in tears i stormed into his office. “what?” he said suddenly. “jack, the way youve been treating me is wrong. ive never had anyone speak to me that way. as a professional, its wrong for me to allow it to continue,” i said. jack smiled nervously, “susan, i make you a promise that i will be a friend. i will treat you as you deserve to be treated, with respect and kindness.” jack avoided me the rest of the week, and never questioned my work again. i brought cookies to the office one day and left some on his desk. another day i left a note: ”hope your day is going great. ” over the next few weeks, there were no more jack episodes. one year later i discovered i had breast cancer, and was scared. the statistics were not great for my long-term survival.one day, however, jack visited me in the hospital and silently handed me a bundle with several bulbs inside. “tulips(郁金香),” he said. i smiled, not understanding. “if you plant them when you get home, theyll come up next spring. i think you will be there to see them when they come up. next spring you will see the colours i picked out for you.” tears clouded my eyes and he left. i have seen those red and white striped（有条纹的） tulips push through the soil every spring for over ten years now. this past september the doctor declared me cured. at a moment when i was praying for just the right word, a man with very few words said all the right things. after all, thats what friends

d. my family and i lived across the street from southway park since i was four years old. then just last year they city put a chain link fence around the park and started bulldozing (用推土机推平) the trees and grass to make way for a new apartment complex. when i saw the fence and bulldozers, i asked myself, “why dont they just leave it alone?”looking back, i think what sentenced the part to oblivion (别遗忘) was the drought (旱灾) we had about four years ago. up until then, southway park was a nice green park with plenty of trees and a public swimming pool. my friends and i rollerskated on the sidewalks, climbed the tress, and swam in the pool all the years i was growing up. the park was almost like my own yard. then the summer i was fifteen the drought came and things changed. there had been almost no rain at all that year. the city stopped watering the park grass. within a few weeks i found myself living across the street from a huge brown desert. leaves fell off the park tress, and pretty soon the trees started dying, too. next, the park swimming pool was closed. the city cut down on the work force that kept the park, and pretty soon it just got too ugly and dirty to enjoy anymore. as the drought lasted into the fall, the park got worse every month. the rubbish piled up or blew across the brown grass. soon the only people in the park were beggars and other people down on their luck. people said drugs were being sold or traded there now. the park had gotten scary, and my mother told us kids not to go there anymore. the drought finally ended and things seemed to get back to normal, that is, everything but the park. it had gotten into such bad shape that the city just let it stay that way. then about six months ago i heard that the city was going to “redevelop” certain worn-out areas of the city. it turned out that the city had planned to get rid of the park, sell the land and let someone build rows of apartment buildings on it. the chain-link fencing and the bulldozers did their work. now we live across the street from six rows of apartment buildings. each of them is three units high and stretches a block in each direction. the neighborhood has changed without the park. the streets i used to play in are jammed with cars now. things will never be the same again. sometimes i wonder, though, what changes another drought would make in the way things are today. 53. how did the writer feel when he saw the fence and bulldozers? a. scared. b. confused. c. upset. d. curious. 54. why was the writer told not to go to the park by his mother? a. it was being rebuilt. b. it was dangerous. c. it because crowded. d. it had turned into a desert. 55. according to the writer, what eventually brought about the disappearance of the park? a. the drought. b. the crime. c. the beggars and the rubbish. d. the decisions of the city. 56. the last sentence of the passage implies that if another drought came, _. a. the situation would be much worse b. people would have to desert their homes c. the city would be fully prepared in advance d. the city would have to redevelop the neighborhood四 、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共25分）某中学生英语报社举办中学生爱护环境人人有责征文比赛。请根据图画所提供的信息写一篇征文，可结合生活实际， 谈谈你的看法，投给这家报社。注意：1内容连贯，适当发挥；2词数：100字左右。一 、单项填空解析：当such与some，other，these/those，no等代词连用时，such置于这些代词之后；no修饰名词时，相当于not a或者not any，故其后不再使用冠词。答案：c解析：考查定语从句。此处为“不定代词of关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，关系代词在从句中作定语，所以用whose。答案：ca。 “2010 world expo”和“people of the whole chinese nation”是特指；victory是泛指。【译文】 尽管他自己也在危险中，charles尽了他的一切努力救助他的仆人。【答案及简析】 c。 此题中could后省略了do,而不定式to rescue是目的状语。答案：a考查定语从句。句意为：在访问过哈尔滨之后，大多数外国友人都说，他们永远不会忘记在那里度过的那段时光。句式分析可知，先行词为the time，从句中缺少宾语成分(作spend的宾语)，故应用which或that来引导定语从句。故答案选a。二 、完形填空 (a)4549 aadca 5054 bdcab三
