In mid-December, my husband and I had been informed that he had cancer and that he was going to die. He had less than a year left, the doctors said.In the years since that painful season, I have come to look back upon New Years Eve as an ending and a beginning. New Years Eve brings a halt to the endless commitments that fill our daily lives and a chance to reflect.New Years Eve is full of possibility and anticipation. What will be the surprising experiences and delightful successes in the coming year? But also, what disappointments are waiting for us in the next twelve months?In many ways, New Years Eve and the days that surround it are a line between past and future. That line is made up of a series of moments of transition(过渡) that take us out of the old and into the new. Transition can be challenging for many of us. Its about letting go of the familiar and diving headlong (迅猛地) into the unfamiliar.Just as, back then, I had to face letting go of the life I had led with my beloved husband and stepping into a new world as a widowed mom. I find that each year I have to step out of the version of me that suited the year that is ending and ease into the version of me who will rise to the goals I am holding for myself for the year ahead.Last year at this time, I sat in a chair in southern France and drank in the stillness(沉静) and beauty of the countryside around me. The three children and I had brought into this world talked and laughed around the table beside me as we enjoyed a lunch of bread and cheese.I was filled with a sense of joy and I had a glowing(热情洋溢的) heart that was full of hope. It was another ending and another beginning. May we all transition into the best of what lies ahead. May we all find happiness this holiday season.24What does the underlined word “halt” in Paragraph 2 mean most probably?AStop.BBeginning.CMeaning.DTradition.25Whats the main cause of the authors unhappiness on New Years Eve a decade before?AThe pressure she faced in her work.BThe health problem her husband faced.CThe information received from her family.DThe relationship between her and her husband.26Whats the authors attitude towards the thing people should do at New Year?ASet challenging goals for the next year.BBreak with daily routines and form a new habit.CSpend more time with family members.DThink about the past and get ready for the future.27Whats the main purpose of writing the passage?ATo memorialize her husband.BTo show how she got through a hard time.CTo share her view of New Years Eve.DTo remind us that uncertainty is part of life.C Please take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. Imagine telling someone you meet today what youre going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesnt it feel good to say it out loud? Dont you feel one step closer already? Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not be satisfied until youd actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and he acknowledges(认可) it, psychologists have found its called a “social reality”. The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that its already done. And then, because youve felt that satisfaction, youre less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary. This goes against the traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right?In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a Professor of Psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he did some new tests that were published. It goes like this: 163 people across four separate testseveryone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment(许诺) to this goal to the room, and half didnt. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Now those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.28What do the words “social reality” in Paragraph 2 mean?ACompletion of the goal.BNecessary hard work.CPeoples acknowledgement.DA sense of satisfaction.29What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us?AWriting down the goal is very helpful.BAchieving personal goal needs more time.CKeeping the goal secret makes people work harder.DMaking the goal public makes people less satisfied.30How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about peoples goal?ABy giving figures.BBy giving examples.CBy making a survey.DBy making comparison tests.31What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal?AYou will be more confident.BYou will not gain satisfaction.CYou are less likely to realize it.DYoull be much more motivated.D Many of us know about Russias Lake Baikal from our textbooks, or by listening to Chinese singer Li Jians hit song, Lie Baikal. But over the past decade, the worlds deepest freshwater lake has been in the spotlight for an extreme sport.Each March since 2005, about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon. They come to explore the lakes breathtaking beauty and challenge themselves in unpredictable conditions. The 26-mile (41.84-kilometers) journey starts on the lakes eastern shore. In March, the ice is a meter thick and iron-hard. Runners cross this frozen surface, finishing on the western side of the lake.Known as the “blue eye of Siberia”, Lake Baikal has exceptionally clear waters. This means its ice is almost perfectly transparent (透明的). “Seen from above, a runner on the ice looks as if he or she were jogging through space.” The New York Times noted.The landscape might be beautiful, but its also harsh. Strong winds blast (侵袭) across the lake and frostbite can occur within half an hour. Runners say the cold climate is what draws them. They want to test their limits.“When you are in such an environment, you dont have cars around you, and you dont have the noise around. I think these extreme races allow you to be alone with nature.” Alicja Barahona, a 64-year-old runner from the US, told ABC news.The location offers some strange and unique characteristics for this marathon. The finishing line is visible from the start, but the endless white offers no progress markers. The race also ends with little fanfare (隆重的欢迎). Tourists crowding the ice are mostly addicted to snapping selfies (自拍) and just ignore the runners.For some runners, the absence of spectators makes the race more challenging, because its lonely. They must fight with themselves. “You are alone on Baikal. It is your race. You are alone with yourself. All you need to do is to defeat yourself.” Veronique Messina, a French runner, told the Telegraph.32What can we know about the Baikal Ice Marathon from the article?AIt takes runners from the northern end to the southern end of the lake.BIt involves extreme weather and beautiful scenery.CIt attracts more and more participants each year.DIt is about 26 kilometers in length.33How does the Baikal Ice Marathon differ from other marathons?AOnly men are allowed to run in this race.BThe runners are often distracted by tourists.CThere are many progress markers on the ice.DThe runners can see the finishing line from the start.34What is the most challenging part of the race for Messina?AThe cold climate.BThe long distance.CNoisy surroundings.DLoneliness.35How many reasons are listed to show the loneliness?A5. B4. C3. D2.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。 Cold weather during winter months may keep many people from leaving home and running in the open air. However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. 36Many people say running in winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds.37That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate and the bodys dehydration (脱水) levels are lower than in warmer conditions. 38This information comes from John Brewer, who is a professor of applied sport science at St. Marys. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an environmental chamber. The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room.39Brewersays he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners.He says that the most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Wear gloves on your hands.40And especially wear more than one layer ofclothing to keep sweat away from your skin.AYet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather.BWe have good reasons to run in winter.CWear shoes that will keep you from falling.DMany feel nervous when running in the cold weather.E. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.F. In fact, running in cold weather helps improve ones performance.G. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 （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 was a cold winters afternoon.

The problem, however, was not making the teeth, 62 was keeping them in place. They had to tie each tooth to the one on either side of it. Only rich people could afford false teeth, 63 were usually made of gold or silver. As more and more people wanted new teeth, poor people 64 (sell)their teeth to the rich so that they could buy food and clothing. During the next 200 years, many changes were made to false teeth although some of these were not really improvements. Towards the end of the 19th century, for example, cheap elastic teeth were i
