Id have a long, tiring ride home, so I decided to _11_ around 5 in the morning.I was on I10 in the middle of Houston when I realized I left my inhaler behind, and had to _12_ to get it. I took the first exit I could, but when I rounded the corner, an 18wheeler was stopped dead in the exit lane.I swerved to _13_ it, but clipped the curb and my tyre blew out. I pulled into a small parking lot and found the area _14_ at 5:15 am. Ive lived in urban areas most of my life. Im fairly streetwise and not _15_ scared, but I knew I was in a pretty _16_ neighborhood.There was no one in Houston to pick me up. I immediately _17_ the doors and picked up my phone to call a tow truck. Soon a man _18_ on my drivers side window and asked if he could help me. From his _19_ and behaviour, I knew he was far more likely to _20_ than help me, so I politely _21_ him down and told him the tow truck was due any minute. He asked again, but again I politely _22_. He finally said, “Maam, you need help. It remains to be seen whether the tow truck will arrive, and you arent going anywhere until you get the tyre replaced.”I looked hard, straight into his eyes, and _23_ saw someone different from the thug (恶棍) he appeared to be at first glance. So, _24_ all rational judgment, but trusting my instincts (本能), I got out. He looked _25_, but got right to work, trying to find the _26_. It took a while, _27_ it was stored underneath the van.He _28_ the tyre, returned the seat (机座) to its place and said, “Thank you for letting me help you. You gave me a(n) _29_ when most people would never open the door to someone like me.” I left with a new tyre and a renewed _30_ in human nature.11A.set out Bset downCset about Dset aside12A.run BcontinueCreturn Dspeed13A.catch BescapeCfollow Davoid14A.crowded BdesertedCscaring Dnoisy15A.suddenly BterriblyCeasily Dlikely16A.tough BfriendlyCsafe Dmodern17A.opened BlockedCcleaned Dcovered18A.struck BpushedCtouched Dknocked19A.inspiration BattitudeCappearance Dintroduction20A.attack BbullyCrob Dcheat21A.put BbeatCturned Ddragged22A.responded BexplainedCdeclined Denquired23A.hopefully BinstinctivelyCeventually Dpurposefully24A.beyond BaboveCwithout Dagainst25A.surprised BexcitedCgrateful Dpleased26A.point BfaultCspare Dproblem27A.since BwhenCafter Dbefore28A.repaired BchangedCexchanged Dremoved29A.favor BgiftCimpression Dchance30A.relief BfaithCinterest Dunderstanding.阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)A(2014·四川绵阳第二次诊断考试)We all have our ways of marking time. As a photographer, my life is measured from one story to the next. My oldest son was born in the middle of a long story about The Endangered Species Act. My daughter came along with a pack of gray wolves.Twenty stories later, though, it was the story in Alaska that Ill remember best. It was the story about the loss of wilderness and the story during which my wife Kathy got cancer. That was the one that made time stand still. I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor (肿瘤). Cruelly, it was Thanksgiving. By Christmas, she had become very weak. Some days she was so sick that she couldnt watch TV.Early examination saves time. But ours was not early. By the time you can feel it yourself, its often bigger than the doctor wants it to be.Cancer is a thief. It steals time. Our days were already short with worry. Then came this terrible disease, unfair as storm at harvest time. But cancer also has the power to change us, for good. We learned to simplify everything, enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we dont. Cancer even made me a better father. My work had made me a stranger to my three kids. But now I pay attention to what really matters.This is not a race. This is a new way of life and new way of seeing, all from the cancer.In the end, each of us has so little time. We have less of it than we can possibly imagine. And even though it turned out that Kathys cancer had not spread, and her prognosis (诊断) was good, we tried to make it all count now, enjoying every part of every day. Ive picked up my camera again. I watch the sky, searching for beautiful light. When winter storms come, Kathy and I gather our children and take the time to catch snowflakes (雪花) on our tongues. After all, this is good. This is what were living for.31As a photographer, the author used to_.Aleave his daughter with a pack of gray wolvesBexpress his love to his family in a special wayCmiss a great many important historical momentsDdevote much more to his career than his family32Why did the author decide to stop taking pictures?ATo cure his own disease.BTo spend more time with his wife.CTo seek a better position.DTo leave the wilderness alone.33What is the biggest change the cancer has brought to the author?AHe treasures every bit of time with his family.BHe becomes a stranger to his children.CHe takes his work more seriously.DHe focuses more on medical care.34The author and his family catch snowflakes on their tongues probably because_.Athe snowflakes taste very goodBsnowflakes are what they feed onCthey regard that as a way to enjoy lifeDthere is beautiful light in the snowflakesB (2014·仙桃调研)Thanksgiving Day, a holiday designed to give thanks and blessings for a good harvest, is drawing near. But are you still having trouble with what gifts you should give? So lets take a look at some of the different gifts being sent to people from different countries, and maybe you will be able to find some inspiration.AmericansIn 1941, the United States Congress had passed a law, ruling the fourth Thursday of November to be Thanksgiving Day. The makeup parade (游行) is hard to miss, therefore cosmetics (化妆品),such as cosmetic mirrors, skincare products and sunglasses, may be good choices for gifts.EgyptiansIn ancient Egypt, Harvest Festival was celebrated in honor of their harvest god Min during the spring season because that was when their harvest season would fall. The festival starts with a parade, followed by banquets, a ball and sports. Because music and movies are very popular here, CDs and DVDs are always great gifts. Moreover, art is also welcomed. One thing that should be noted is that blue and yellow colors need to be avoided since they are forbidden in the country.ChineseThe Chinese have the traditional festival “MidAutumn Festival”, celebrated by families on the 15th of August in Chinese lunar calendar. Mooncakes and fruits are common gifts. But believe it or not, it is becoming a trend for an increasing number of young Chinese to celebrate the Western Thanksgiving. Carnations are a good present for mothers during the festival. Gloves are also a good idea, especially as the weather is cold.JewsSukkot, a Jewish festival celebrated for the autumn harvest, has a history of over 3,000 years. During the eightday of Sukkot, Jews build many cabins, using branches, to memorize their ancestors chancel(圣所)A feast is held during the second day in these specific cabins. Hanukkah is the original name of the festival. Thus lamps and lanterns are always in proper use. In addition, silk is considered to be the ideal gift for this holiday.35Which countries hold some parades during the festivals?AEgypt and Jewish countries.BAmerica and Egypt.CChina and Egypt.DChina and America.36What will you buy as Thanksgiving gifts to visit a Jewish friend?ASunglasses. BCDs.CGloves. DSilk.37What can we learn from the passage?AMooncakes have not been popular as before.BChinese people wont buy flowers as gifts in the festival.CGloves are not so welcome as fruits.DYoung Chinese people prefer to celebrate the Western Thanksgiving.38The best title of this passage should be_.AHow to buy Thanksgiving giftsBA variety of Thanksgiving giftsCThe function of Thanksgiving giftsDHow to send Thanksgiving giftsC (2014·黄冈调研)Searching the Internet may help middleaged and older adults keep their memories sharp, US researchers said.Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, studied people doing web searches by recording their brain activity.“What we saw was people who had Internet experience used more of their brain during the search,” Dr. Gary Small, a UCLA expert on aging, said. “This suggests that just searching on the Internet may train the brain that it may keep it active and healthy,” said Small.“This is the first time anyone has simulated an Internet search task while scanning the brain,” Small said. His team studied 24 normal volunteers between the ages of 55 and 76. Half were experienced at searching the Internet and the other half had no web experience. Otherwise, the groups were similar in age, gender and education.Both groups were asked to do Internet searches and book reading tasks while their brain activity was monitored.“We found that in reading the book task, the visual, cortex the part of the brain that controls reading and language was activated,” Small said, “In doing the Internet search task, there was much greater activity, but only in the Internetsavvy (了解) group.”It appears that people who are familiar with the Internet can engage in a much deeper level of brain activity. Activities that keep the brain engaged can preserve brain health and thinking ability. Small thinks learning to do Internet searches may be one of those activities.39What did the researchers do when volunteers were doing web searches?AThey studied the Internet.BThey activated their brain.CThey monitored their brain activity.DThey recorded their memories.40Which was different between the two volunteer groups?AHealth. BWeb experience.CSchool Education. DAge.41How many tasks did the volunteers do?AOne. BTwo.CThree. DFour.42What can we conclude from the passage?AWeb searching benefits the brain.BReading books keeps the brain engaged.CWatching TV makes the brain active.DDoing activities damages the brain.D(2014·安徽蚌埠第二次教学质量检测)We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed no examination is perfect but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency (效率), the values and the purpose of each teacher.Without examinations, employers will look for employees (受雇者)from the highly respected schools and from families known to them a form of favourtism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an illrespected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability (不合适)of a dull child attending a wellrespected school. This defend of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her schools reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favoured school.The opponents(反对者)of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic classes. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.43The underlined word“favouritism”in Paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that _.Abright children also need certificates to get satisfying jobsBchildren from wellrespected schools tend to have good jobsCpoor children with certificates are favoured in job marketsDchildren attending ordinary schools achieve great success44What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author?ASchools for bright children would los
