its still what makes a man a good citizen. this is my code, and i try to live by.21. why do people think taxicab drivers are bad according to the passage?a. taxicab drivers are dishonest.b. most taxicab drivers are tough fellows.c. they have been cheated by taxicab drivers before.d. some taxicab drivers did not return their lost properties.22. how did the author return the diamond ring to the lady?a. by giving her a call and visiting her.b. by sending her a letter asking her to claim the ring in person.c. by advertising in the papers.d. by going back to where she got off and traced her down for almost 2 days.23. the underlined phrase “a rainy day” in paragraph 4 refers to _.a. a time when a family has financial problemsb. a day when it rainsc. a day when the author cant drive a taxid. a time when the author has trouble with drunksbdomestic (驯养的) horses now pull ploughs, race in the kentucky derby, and carry police. but early horses werent tame (驯服的) enough to perform these kinds of tasks. scientists think the first interactions humans had with horses were far different from those today.thousands of years ago, people killed the wild horses that lived around them for food. over time, people began to catch the animals and raise them. this was the first step in domestication.as people began to tame（驯养） and ride horses, they chose to keep those animals that had more desirable characteristics. for example, people may have chosen to keep horses that had a gentle personality so they could be ridden more easily. people who used horses to pull heavy loads would have chosen to keep stronger animals. characteristics like strength are partly controlled by the animals genes. so as the domesticated horses reproduced, they passed the characteristics on to their young. each new generation of horses would show more of these chosen characteristics.modern day horse breeds (繁殖)come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. this variety didnt exist in the horse population before domestication. the shetland horse is one of the smallest breedstypically reaching only one meter tall. with short, strong legs, the animals were bred to pull coal out of mine shafts (矿井) with low ceilings. huge horses like the clydesdale came on the scene around 1700. people bred these heavy, tall horses to pull large vehicles used for carrying heavy loads.the domestication of horses has had great effects on societies. for example, horses were important tools in the advancement of modern agriculture. using them to pull ploughs and carry heavy loads allowed people to farm more efficiently. before they were able to ride horses, humans had to cross land on foot. riding horses allowed people to travel far greater distance in much less time. that encouraged populations living in different areas to interact with one another. the new form of rapid transportation helped cultures spread around the world.24. before domestication horses were _.a. caught for sports b. hunted for foodc. made to pull ploughsd. used to carry people25. the author uses the shetland horse as an example to show _.a. it is smaller than the clydesdale horseb. horses used to have gentle personalitiesc. some horses have better shapes than others d. horses were of less variety before domestication26. horses contributed to the spread of culture by _.a. carrying heavy loadsb. changing farming methodsc. serving as a means of transportd. advancing agriculture in different areas27. the passage is mainly about _.a. why humans domesticated horsesb. how humans and horses needed each otherc. why horses came in different shapes and sizesd. how human societies and horses influenced each othercwhether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said cynthia breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company jibo. while household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. for example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. this allows them to respond more appropriately to the user. the jibo robot, arranged to ship（上市）later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. you can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. the robot doesnt just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. it can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos. social robots are not just finding their way into the home. they have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces. fellow robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. the companys “oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the products location in the store. it can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for. the more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. but oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “we have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us，” said breazeal. 28. how are social robots different from household robots?a. they can control their emotions. b. they are more like humans. c. they do the normal housework. d. they respond to users more slowly. 29. what can a jibo robot do according to paragraph 3?a. communicate with you and perform operations.b. answer your questions and make requests. c. take your family pictures and deliver milk. d. obey your orders and remind you to take pills. 30. we can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will _. a. train employeesb. improve technologiesc. be our workmates d. take the place of workers31. what does the passage mainly present?a. a new design idea of household robots. b. marketing strategies for social robots. c. an introduction to social robots. d. information on household robots. dtwo friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. in fact, according to an official report on youth violence, in our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence. given that this is the case, why arent students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?first of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. a report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). for example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. the problem isnt in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution-stay calm. once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. rude words, name-calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fire. on the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.after both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution: listening. listening allows the two sides to understand each other. one person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speakers position. then the two people should change roles.finally, students need consider what they are hearing. this doesnt mean trying to figure out whats wrong with the other person. it means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. for example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. students need to ask themselves questions such as these: how did this start? what do i really want? what am i afraid off? as the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. even if it doesnt, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.there will always be conflict in schools, but that doesnt mean there needs to be violence. after students in atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to educators for social responsibility, 64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves. learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. in that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.32. from paragraph2 we can learn that _.a. violenceismorelikelytooccuratlunchtimeb. studentstendtolosetheirtempereasilyc. asmallconflictcanleadtoviolenced. theeatinghabitofastudentisoftenthecauseofafight33.why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in paragraph5?a. tomakeclearwhattherealissueis.b. togetreadytobuynewthings.c. tofindoutwhotoblame.d. tofigureouthowtostoptheshoutingmatch.34.after the conflict resolution program was started in atlanta,it was found that_.a. moreteachersfeltbetteraboutthemselvesinschoolsb. therewaslessstudentcooperationintheclassroomc. therewasadecreaseinclassroomviolenced. theteacher-studentrelationshipgreatlyimproved35. the writers purpose for writing this article is to_.a. complainaboutproblemsinschooleducationb. advocateteachingconflictmanagementinschoolsc. teachstudentsdifferentstrategiesforschoollifed. informteachersofthelateststudiesonschoolviolence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how to overcome challenges in your lifewe all face tough and difficult challenges in life. to overcome challenges you need to have that“never quit” attitude in life. if you develop it. youll overcome quite a bit.motivate yourself. say yes, i can.” the challenge should bring out the best of you in this situation. slow it down, and think that process through. 36 if you develop that mindset(心态)，youll get it done. 37 remain calm when youre facing serious troubles and problems in life. you have to recollect yourself, and calm down. you cant solve problems when youre panicking. take a deep breath, relax, and slow it down. think things through calmly.let failure and fear fuel you in a positive way. everyone fails at times. if you fail the first, second, or third time, dont give up. 38 learn what made you fail and overcome these challenges. simplify the challenge youre facing. make the challenge easier than it is 39 as you getrough each step, you develop more confidence and you believe you can get it done, and then you will.stay positive and confident 40 you have to find out all the ways you can use toovercome it, and put them to full use with all your effort. its our own mental stability that is the difficult part .when you do it mentally, youll actually be able to do it.a. stay calm and cool-headedb. think the best not the worst.c. start by breaking it down into steps.d. to overcome a challenge, you have to believe you can really do it.e. most people will avoid any challenge, because theyre scared of failingf. develop that confidence in saying theres no way youre going to fail at this.g. pick yourself up, learn from why youve failed, and move on in a positive direction.第三部分语言知识运用(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a、b、c和d四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项it has been difficult to sit on the bench most of the time, watching my team from the sideline. i always 41 why i am not good enough to be on the floor. after endless hours of work and devotion, 42 myself through drill after drill, the last thing i want is to be a cheerleader. the feeling of being 43 is sometimes too much and drives me to 44 on the spot. i often feel as though my 45 are wasted and my time is eaten away, devoted to 46 it is heartbreaking to be a spectator for the game i love, knowing that no one has enough faith to give me the chance to 47 on the floor. tears well up, but i 48 them back. i shouldnt be so 49 over something so silly. away from the game, its easier to put my thoughts tog
