BI once heard this tale in India, where it is told as if truethough any naturalist would know it couldnt be. The country is India. A colonial(殖民地的)official and his wife are giving a large dinner party. They are seated with their guests-army officers and their wives, and a visiting American naturalist. A spirited discussion springs up between a young girl who says women have long outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era(时代、年代)and an army officer who says they havent. A womans reaction in any crisis, the officer says, is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has. The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She gestures to the servant standing behind her chair and whispers to him. The servants eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the servant place a bowl of milk on the balcony just outside the open glass doors. The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing: bait (诱饵)for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. The Americans eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place-under the table. His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra into striking. He speaks quickly, the tone of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone. “I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred-thats five minutes - and not one of you is to move a muscle. Now, ready!”The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying two hundred and eighty when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to slam the balcony doors. There is your proof! the host exclaims. “A man has just shown us perfect self-control. ”Just a minute, the American says, turning to his hostess, “How did you know that cobra was in the room?With a faint smile coming across her face she replies: Because it was lying across my foot. ”24.

A Striking Dinner PartyC. An Unbelievable Story D. A Smart HostessCOnline programs to fight depression are already commercially available. While they sound efficient and cost-saving, a recent study reports that they are not effective, primarily because depressed patients are not likely to engage with them or stick with them. The study looked at computer-assisted cognitive (认知的)behavioral therapy (CBT) and found that it was no more effective in treating depression than the usual care patients receive from a primary care doctor. Traditional CBT is considered an effective form of talk therapy(治疗)for depression, helping people challenge negative thoughts and change the way they think in order to change their mood and behaviors. However, online CBT programs have been gaining popularity, with the attraction of providing low-cost help wherever someone has access to a computer. A team of researchers from the University of York conducted a randomized(随机的)control trial with 691 depressed patients from 83 physician practices across England. The patients were split into three groups: one group received only usual care from a physician while the other two groups received usual care from a physician plus one of two computerized CBT programs. Participants were balanced across the three groups for age, sex, educational background, severity and duration of depression, and use of antidepressants(抗抑郁药).After four months, the patients using the computerized CBT programs had no improvement in depression levels over the patients who were only getting usual care from their doctors. Its an important, cautionary note that we shouldnt get too carried away with the idea that a computer system can replace doctors and therapists, says Christopher Dowrick, a professor of primary medical care at the University of Liverpool. “We do still need the human touch or the human interaction, particularly when people are depressed.”Being depressed can mean feeling lost in your own small, negative, dark world, Dowrick says. Having a person, instead of a computer, reach out to you is particularly important in combating that sense of isolation. When youre emotionally vulnerable (脆弱的), youre even more in need of a caring human being, he says. 28. Why has online CBT programs been increasingly popular?A. Because of their effectiveness in fighting depression. B. Because of their easy and inexpensive access by patients. C. Because of their recommendation by primary care doctors. D. Because of their attraction of changing mood and behavior. 29. What is the conclusion of the experiment done by researchers at the University of York?A. Online CBT programs are as ineffective as regular care from physicians. B. The combination of traditional CBT and computerized CBT is most effective. C. The online programs are more advanced than regular care from physicians. D. Online CBT programs have no advantages over regular care from physicians. 30. Which of the following statement can best convey Professor Dowricks advice on online programs?A. Their use should be encouraged by doctors. B. They should not be ignored in primary care. C. Their effectiveness should not be overestimated(高估). D. They should be used to help people touch these patients. 31. What is more important to an emotionally vulnerable person?A. A positive state of mind. B. An appropriate therapy. C. An advanced CBT program. D. A caring human being. DIts natural for parents to praise their children, but offering this praise could actually backfire, according to new science. In the study, researchers at Michigan State University looked at 123 children who were about 7. The team assessed the children to determine whether they had a growth mindset (believing that you can work harder to get smarter), or a fixed mindset (believing that your intelligence is unable to change). They then asked the children to complete a fast-paced computer accuracy task while their brain activity was recorded. Based on the data they collected, the researchers concluded that children with a growth mindset were much more likely to have a larger brain response after making a mistake, and in turn were more likely to improve their performance by paying closer attention to the task after making an error. While previous research has shown that people with a fixed mindset didnt want to admit they had made a mistake, this study found that children with a fixed mindset were able to - “bounce back” after making an error, but only if they gave their full attention to the mistakes. “The main implication here is that we should pay close attention to our mistakes and use them as opportunities to learn study author Hans Schroder told Science Daily. For parents, the lessons are clear-if a child hands you an A+ test, dont say “Youre so smart! ”Instead, say Wow, that studying really paid off! or You clearly mastered this material - way to go! Note the effort, not the intelligence. Second, focus on using errors to work together and learn. Many teachers and parents avoid addressing childrens mistakes, telling them “Its OK. Youll get it next time” Without giving them the opportunity to figure out what went wrong. Dr. Schroder says, Instead, its better to reassure children that mistakes happen, and to pay attention and work to figure out where and how they made the mistakes.”32. The underlined word “backfire in Paragraph 1 probably means “ ”. A. make a loud noise B. leave a good impressionC. have an opposite result D. produce an explosion33. According to the text, which one belongs to the group who has a “growth mindset ?A. Tom manages to correct every mistake by heart. B. Mary believes her mistakes are made by chance. C. John keeps an idea that he has a good gift for studying. D. Lily thinks she can get A+ without any effort. 34. If your child gets the best mark in the test, you should . A. praise him with some delicious food and moneyB. comment him to be cleverer than other studentsC. confirm his effort that he has made for the testD. believe that he is an honest and smart child35. What should parents do with the childs mistakes from Dr. Schroder?A. Parents should avoid talking with child about his mistakes. B. Parents should compare his mistakes with others and criticize him. C. Parents should ignore the mistakes and believe he will do better. D. Parents should analyse the mistakes with their child patiently. 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。Campuses should be safe places for children to learn and develop. However, the movie, Better Days, released on Oct 25, highlights a serious issue-school bullying. Some experts say people should treat bullying seriously and not regard it as a joke. School bullying involves hurtful words, physical attacks, even sexual violence. 36 In quite a few cases, a child is bullied merely because another sees him/her as being weak in strength or character, and he or she is singled out for violence. That the offenders are just children does not mean bullying is simply high spirits or that the children are just being naughty. 37 and it does not matter how old the perpetrator(施暴者)of the violence is or what form it takes. It is not helpful for parents and teachers to ignore the matter by saying it is a private affair between the children and they can solve it by themselves. 38 All violence should be prevented, and the most effective way of preventing bullying on campus is to call the police and let the professionals deal with it. 39 Bullying is a serious offense. While there may be no visible harm, it can leave invisible scars and wounds that can prove fatal over time. According to data from the United Nations Education, Science, and Culture Organization, over 32 percent of male pupils and 28 per-cent of female pupils suffer from campus violence with many suffering serious emotional and psychological problems as a result. 40 A. Whether verbal or physical, violence is violence. B. The bullying is only verbal insults and not threats. C. That doesnt happen； instead the bullying becomes worse. D. People even in their 50s or 60s may still suffer the hurt of childhood bullying. E. Sometimes bullying can arise out of a quarrel or conflict, but often it arises out of nothing. F. Bullying causes injury to health and makes you ill. How many of these symptoms do you have?G. Especially, in China the role of the police is not only to enforce the law, but also to educate the public about punishments for violations. 第三部分 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)阅读下列短文，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。Christmas was near a season that we took seriously in our house.
