11、 bright news that confirmed the goodness of mankind. As a journalist, I wrote many human interesting stories during my career. Thats why the story about the guys in the bakery caught my eyes.When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didnt

While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their community.The flood water rose in the street

13、 outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the owner managed to get to them, they

14、 had made so much bread that we took the loaves to loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent，“Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should just feel _forlorn_.

Everyone in the village was excited and was busy preparing for the happy event. The villagers were very proud of Salem as

19、he worked long hours and cared about the people in his village. While others were enjoying the prewedding celebrations, together with the nurses, the groom was busy delivering a baby in his clinic.The bride was in her room happily arranging her hair and make-up, getting ready for the arrival of her

20、guests. Her family and friends had excitedly prepared the henna (涂指甲花) party. Grandma and Mum were busy in the kitchen with the food they had made for the henna feast for the day before Friday. Samias friend Mariam was making the wedding cake. Her friend Shaikha was collecting the brides dress from

21、the tailor. At 12 noon the henna maker arrived. Following the tradition, she started decorating the brides hands. There was an air of excitement in the room. Grandma started singing a traditional folk song.Suddenly, the bride felt a strange tingling (麻刺感) in her hand. It grew worse and worse. Her ha

22、nd became red and swollen soon. Grandma said, “Oh dear, I think it best that you wash your hands immediately.” As an emergency first aider, Mariam suggested applying some cold cream on Samias hand and ran off and returned with some in her hand. Neither of these worked. Mum took control and phoned Sa

23、lem but in vain. Without hesitation, she took Samia to the hospital urgently with Dad and other friends. Dr Ahmed looked at her hand and said, “Youve had an allergic reaction to the henna.

26、u arent using your time with 100% efficiency. There are gaps in everyones schedule where they arent doing anything important. Even if your schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of time where you arent working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.Why arent you completely efficient?

27、Its because time isnt the limiting factor. If it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions. Instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate(拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.

28、The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention. Energy levels limit your productivity because when youre tired, you can have ample time and still not get everything done. Your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million

29、things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.You might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices. But even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything. The reason its hard to “

30、find time” isnt a lack of time. Its because you dont have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.I first suspected time wasnt the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago. I was insanely busy, but at that time I still exercised re

31、gularly. I had daily-to-do lists with over twenty items, and I still found time to exercise. However, after a few weeks off, due to illness, I stopped exercising. I was not busy by any standards, in fact, my schedule was incredibly light. Despite this free time, I found it hard to find time to exerc

32、ise. It seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone. How can I explain this odd experience? I believe you have known it.1、If someone cant work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is _.Aa schedule without gapsBbreaks and distractionsCthe limited timeDt

33、he limited energy2、According to paragraph 4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can _.Awork without any restBfocus on many things at a timeCfind some more time in a dayDdo some exercise regularly3、After a few weeks off, what was the change of the writers life?AHe had a longer daily to-do

34、 list with over twenty items.BHe stopped doing exercise because of the lack of energy.CHe found it hard to find time to exercise because he was busier.DHe pushed most of the things later and later in his schedule.4、The writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to _.Aprove wh

35、at the real limiting factor isBshow us how busily he needs to workCexplain how important a healthy body isDtell us what an odd experience he has24（8分）It is one of the oldest magic tricks in the booka magician locks a woman in a box, with her head and feet sticking out from either end, and saws (锯) i

36、t in half. But when she finally jumps out of the box, the woman is unharmed.This trick was introduced nearly a century ago. It has been around for some time, but it never goes wrong. Why is it so successful? The answer is simple: the human mind is easily fooled.Our brain processes the world around u

37、s based on information that sensory organs, including the eyes, pick up. For instance, when we see a cow or a horse standing behind a tree, we automatically “fill in” the part of the animals body that is hidden from our sight. “So the brain is taking this kind of very sparse (匮乏的) information about

38、the world and its generating this rich world by filling in information,” Stephen Macknik, a scientist at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Arizona, US, told Science magazine.But since our brains are filling in the gaps, sometimes they get it wrong. They tend to be driven by our previous experienc

39、es and we expect things to go as they have in the past even if sometimes they do not.This tendency explains magicians success in fooling people with well-known coin tricks. For example, when you see a magician throw a coin up and down in one hand and then fake a coin thrown to the other hand, you wo

40、uld naturally believe that the coin is in the other hand.Apart from the information gaps, magicians also use the “blind spots” theory when doing their shows.The most well-known experiment demonstrating this theory is called the “invisible gorilla (大猩猩)”, in which volunteers watch a video of two bask

41、etball teams. They are asked to count how many times the teams wearing white shirts pass the ball. In the meantime, a person dressed as a gorilla walks onto the court. But shockingly, half of the viewers dont notice the gorilla, even when they appear to be looking directly at it.Magicians employ thi

42、s tactic (招数), what they call “misdirection”, in almost every one of their acts. They direct our attention somewhere else using comedy and music, which can make us miss stuff during the performance.1、The magic trick is mentioned in the first paragraph to _.Aintroduce the steps of the magic trickBpro

43、ve magic tricks seldom go wrongCreveal how magic tricks are designedDget us to wonder how magicians trick the mind2、We can conclude from the passage that the human mind is easily fooled because our brain _.Amay have difficulty remembering what we just sawBfills in information about the magic worldCi

44、s influenced by our previous experiencesDprocesses far more information than our sensory organs pick up3、What does the underlined word “invisible” in paragraph 7 refer to?AUnnoticed. BUnimportant.CUnpleasant. DUnprepared.4、During the “invisible gorilla” experiment, people watching the video ignore t

45、he “gorilla” because _.Athey dont look directly at itBthey are not interested in itCthey are too focused on countingDthey consider it to be a distraction5、Why do magicians usually use comedy and music when they play magic tricks?ATo get viewers to stay focused on the show.BTo make the show more fun

46、and exciting.CTo draw viewers attention away from a secret action.DTo create information gaps between magicians and viewers.25（10分）Physics could soon make it possible to replace those heavy glass lenses（镜头）on cameras with “metalenses” materials engineered to focus light at a fraction（少量）of the weigh

47、t and size of traditional lensing.A team from Harvard Universitys school of engineering has designed a metalens that can focus nearly the entire visible light. Previous metalenses could focus only narrow color wavelengths, or wavelengths outside the visible.When light moves through glass, the differ

48、ent wavelengths that make up the light slow at different rates. This causes their paths through the glass to bend, so that they separate. Pass a beam of white light through a prism（棱镜）, and this effect will cause a rainbow to burst out the other end. This presents a challenge to lens makers; a singl

49、e focusing element will project a picture that has colors from red to violet hitting different spots on the film.So, modem camera lenses use many different glass elements to reverse that effect, pushing the different wavelengths of light back onto a single focal point, although that doesnt work perf

50、ectly; many photographers know the pain of buying an expensive lens only to find a violet edge around the subjects in their photographs.A metalens takes a different approach to focusing light. Instead of using the reflection of glass, a metalens uses tiny structures, typically made of titanium dioxi

51、de（二氧化钛）, to bend wavelengths toward the metalens focal point. In the past, though, metalenses could bend just one wavelength at a time, or in more advanced cases, a narrow band of the visual light. The newly created metalens bends nearly the full.Metalenses have other challenges to overcome before

52、they can compete seriously with traditional glass. The most significant one: resolution（分辨率）, according to a journal article. None of the metalenses so far are particularly sharp compared with their best glass competitors. But, again, as the technology progresses, it could address that limitation. M

53、etalenses might not land on store shelves anytime soon, but they are coming.1、What do we know about the “metalenses” from Paragraph 1?AIts small. BIts expensive.CIts visible. DIts narrow.2、Why is it tough in making lens?ALight is low at different rates.BLight path is bent when light travels.CAn imag

54、e has colors from red to violet.DWhite light will cause different colors.3、What does the underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 4 mean?AChange. BExchange.CIncrease. DImprove.4、Whats unique in ways of focusing light for a new metalens?AIt throws the glass light back.BIt uses metals in the structure.C

55、It nearly makes the visual light all bend.DIt is more advanced and narrow.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（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26（30分）In most peoples eyes, I was a golden girl when I was eighteen years old： I was president of the college drama society, a member of the student
