We were wearing heavy helmets on our heads and had thick leather straps around our waists, which made seats that hung from a thick wire overhead. The wire was hung between the platform we stood on and another platform far in the distance.This was the zip line(滑索), an adventure I had vowed I would not do on our family trip to Costa Rica. I was afraid of heights, afraid of falling, and afraid of zipping through the air above the rainforest at 30 miles per hour. Yet here I was, fastened in and ready to go.“Who goes first?” our guide asked. My sisters exchanged a glanceneither of them stepped forward. Id been teased for being a “scary cat” ever since I was four when I tripped (绊倒) and fell on an escalator（自动扶梯）. Even my parents, while relieved by my cautious ways, were worried that Id miss out onenjoyable activities. No longer willing to let life pass me by, I stepped to the edge of the platform, sat back in the leather seat, and pushed off. Absolute terror filled me as I screamed and zoomed through the trees with my eyes squeezed shut. Before I could totally process what was happening, I landed safely on the second platform.As my sisters flew in behind me, the guide attached me to the next wire, and I was off again. This time, fear was replaced with excitement, and I was able to look around me as I zipped. Therea toucan (犀鸟)! And was that a sloth (树懒) right at eye level?By the time we had finished all the zip line journeys, I was shouting not with terror but with joy. And to think how close I'd come to missing it all!21. Why had the writer vowed not to go on the zip lines?A. She thought she would not be able to see anything.B. She had a fear of heights.C. She was afraid of the rainforest animals.D. She hated wearing the helmet and straps.22. What made the writer decide to go on the zip lines?A. The encouragement of his own.B. The tease of his sisters.C. The support of his parents.D. The order of his guide.23. How did the writer find the zip line journey in the end?A. Tiresome and unhappy.B. Nothing but frightening.C. Risky but rewarding.D. Joyful but fruitless.BIts not unusual to see an unreasonable child lying on the ground drumming his heels. Beside him is a desperate mother yelling at the top of her lung. Raising a well-behaved kid is really a head-scratching thingIf you took all the parenting styles around the world and ranked them by their gentleness， theInuit(因纽特人)approach would certainly rank near the top. All the moms mention one golden role: Dont shout or yell at small children. Inuits no-yelling policy is their central component to raising cool-headed kids. The culture views scolding, or even speaking to children in all angry voice, as inappropriate, although little kids are pushing parents' buttonsPlayful “storytelling” is another trick to sculpting kids behavior. But this storytelling differs hugelyfrom those fairy tales full of moral lessons. Parents“retell”what happened when a boy threw a tantrum(发脾气 )by way of what Shakespeare would understand all too well：putting on a“drama”. After the child has calmed down, the parents will review what happened when the child misbehaved, usually starting with a question: “Can you show us how to throw a tantrum?”Then the child has to think what he should do. If he takes the bait and performs the action，the mom will ask a follow-up question with a playful toneFor example：“Does that seem right?” or “Are you a baby?” She is getting across the idea that“big boys”wont throw a tantrumKids brains are still developing the circuitry（线路） needed for self-control. What you do in response to your childrens emotions shapes their brains. So next time, seeing your boy misbehave, try using the Inuits storytelling approach. And dont forget to keep coo1. After all，boys will be boys24. Which of the following best explains“pushing parents buttons”underlined in Paragraph2? ATalking with parentsBMaking parents annoyedCExposing parents faultsDPlaying with parents buttons25. What do we know about Inuits “storytelling”?AIt aims at playing a trick on kids BIt raises kids awareness of morality CIt analyzes Shakespeares dramas DIt comes after a child misbehaves26. Whats the authors attitude to childrens misbehavior?ATolerantBCautiousCUncaring DSkeptical 27Whats the main idea of the text?AValues of reading literary works BInuits approach to parenting CCauses of childrens misbehavior DParents responses to“storytelling”CFor some time, psychologists have been studying how personality traits( 特 点 ）affect health and health-related choices. Not surprisingly, they have found that people blessed with innate conscientiousness, meaning that they are organized and predictable, typically eat better and live longer than people who are disorderly. They also tend to have immaculate offices.What has been less clear is whether neat environments can produce good habits even in those who arent necessarily innately conscientious. To find out, researchers at the University of Minnesota conducted a series of experiments. In the first experiment, they randomly assigned a group of college-age students to spend time in two office spaces, one of which was very neat, the other wildly cluttered (乱堆) with papers and other work-related stuff. The students spent their time filling out questionnaires unrelated to the study.After 10 minutes, they were told they could leave with an apple or a chocolate bar. Those students who sat in the orderly office were twice as likely to choose the apple as those who sat among the mess.A second experiment, however, found that working in chaos has its advantages, too. In this one, college students were placed in a messy or a neat office and asked to dream up new uses for Ping-Pong balls. Those in messy spaces generated ideas that were significantly more creative, according to two independent judges, than those in offices where stacks of papers and other objects were neatly arranged.The results were something of a surprise, says Dr. Vohs, the leader of the study. Few previous studies found much virtue in disorder. The broken window theory, proposed decades ago, holds that even slight disorder and neglect can encourage indifference and poor discipline.But in the study by Dr. Vohs, disordered offices encouraged originality and a search for novelty. In the final portion of the study, adults were given the choice of adding a health “boost” to their lunchtime smoothie that was labeled either “new” or “classic.” The volunteers in the messy space were far more likely to choose the new one; those in the tidy office generally chose the classic version.“Disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition,” Dr. Vohs and her co-authors conclude in the study, “which can produce fresh insights.”The implications of these findings are also practical. “My advice would be, if you need to think outside the box for a future project”, Dr. Vohs says, “then let the clutter（杂乱东西） rise and free your imagination. But if your primary goal is to eat well or to go to the gym, pick up around your office first. By doing this, the naturally messy can acquire some of the discipline of the conscientious.”28. The underlined word “immaculate” in paragraph 1 probably means .A. tidyB. messyC. terribleD. comfortable29. Which of the following can best explain the broken window theory?A. Bad news has wings.B. Misfortune may be an actual blessing.C. Chaos begets（引发）chaos.D. When a door shuts, a window opens.30. Which of the following will Dr. Vohs probably agree with?A. More virtue exists in organized people.B. Creativity results from tidiness and discipline.C. Workers good habits guarantee the success of a project.D. Disorderly surroundings help to create new ideas.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 become a more thankful personIn the business of day-to-day life, we often forget to stop and be grateful for the present moment.

One day, my professor took me aside and asked a very simple question, “Why are you in my class when its obvious that you have little or no 36 in chemistry?”I came up with an explanation by 37 pressure from my dad, but he knew it was just a an 38 excuse. He gave me the following advice.“Success can only be measured by oneself, and each of us is 39 . Your success will not be the same as mine, as your neighbors or your parents. There is no secret formula(公式), no examination you have to 40 , and no guarantee, but there is a secret ingredient 41 . To be successful in life in the broadest sense, you must pursue your passion. 42 it is fixing cars or exploring the world, you must be passionate about your 43 and set a path to achieve it. Only then will you find true 44 .”Since I was just nineteen years old, that was pretty profound advice to 45 , but I knew instinctively ( 本 能 地 ) that he was 46 . I made a conscious self-examination of my short life to 47 where my passion was hiding. It was so 48 that even my kid sister could have told me my true passion was music. It was in my genes. I could play the piano by ear, but had 49 considered music as a hobby.Could I be a successful musician? Or a songwriter? Or a music critic? There was only one way to find out, so I took my professors 50 and switched to the universitys music school. I studied harmony and composition, learned how to play a clarinet(单簧管) and 51 the symphony orchestra. I felt as though I was on top of the world, and that 52 has never left me.Im now fifty-four years old, and a very happy and 53 man. As I look at the walls of my small office, I still get a thrill at seeing the rec
