To get an 37education , he was struggling against many difficulties. His family was poor. His Dad couldn’t afford the 38board at college, so Dale had to ride horseback 12 miles to attend classes.

He tried 42For the football team, but the coach turned him down for being too 43light . During this period Dale was slowly 44developing an inferiority complex (自卑感), which his mother knew could 45prevent him from achieving his real potential. She 46suggested that Dale （should ）join the debating team, believing that 47practice in speaking could give him the confidence and recognition that he needed.‎ Dale took his mother’s advice, tried desperately and after several attempts 48finally made it.

Because that is where it started: in the second half of the 19th century!‎ Welcome to a new Era of Kitchen Interior Design 新纪元室内设计 Back then, a Generation of successful American Entrepreneurs企业家 dreamt of a new style of Architecture to express their personal wealth. This dream was realized by young architects such as Daniel Burnham and Stanford White.‎ They all had studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. And they created a new style for ‎ Architecture and Interior Design, named after the famous French Art Institute: Beaux Arts.‎ SieMatic BcauxArts Breaks and Creates In fact it was not a new style at all, but a composition合成物of styles from different periods and cultures. Many world-famous structures such as the Chicago Art Institute and the Statue of Liberty account for 解释原因it. But what does that have to do with 有关your kitchen? Just as much as you want it to. Because in the same way that the anti-conventional architects back支持 then took the freedom to combine elements from different historical eras, today, you too can break the conventional rules of style and create something new: your own personal composition of your kitchen. For that, SieMatic BeauxArts offers unique opportunities: A broad range of seemingly conflicting features that you combine to a harmonious design of your own. You can choose from menu of various forms, appealing colors,夺目的颜色 and precious materials,珍贵材料 to create an environment that is much more than just a kitchen: a reflection of your personality. ‎ 反应自己的个性 ‎56.

Its customers can enjoy their own composition. 展示自己的构思 D.

For every hour we work at one job we could quite easily be doing another, or be sleeping or watching a film. Each of these options has a different opportunity cost—namely, what they cost us in missed opportunities. 下文为例 Say you intend to watch a football match but the tickets are expensive and it will take you a couple of hours to get to and from the stadium. Why not, you might reason, watch the game from 59 home and use the leftover money and time to have dinner with friends? This—the alternative use of your cash and time—is the opportunity cost.‎ For economists, every decision is made by knowledge of what one must forgo放弃—in terms of money and enjoyment—in order to take it up. By knowing precisely what you are receiving and what you are missing out on, you ought to be able to make better-informed, more reasonable decisions. Consider that most famous economic rule of all: there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Even if someone offers to take you out to lunch for free, the time you will spend in the restaurant ‎ still costs you something in terms of forgone opportunities.‎ Some people find the idea of opportunity cost extremely discouraging: imagine spending your entire life calculating whether your time would be better spent elsewhere doing something more profitable or enjoyable. Yet, in a sense 在某种意义it’s human nature to do precisely that—we assess the advantages and disadvantages of decisions all the time.‎ In the business world, a popular phrase is “value for money.” 现金价值People want their cash to go as far as possible. However, another is fast obtaining an advantage: “value for time.” The biggest restriction on our resources is the number of hours we can devote to something, so we look to maximize the return we get on our investment of time. 60 By reading this passage you are giving over a bit of your time which could be spent doing other activities, such as sleeping and eating. In return, however, this passage will help you to think like an economist, closely considering the opportunity cost of each of your decisions.‎ ‎58. According to the passage, the concept of “opportunity cost” is applied to被用于 ________.‎ A. making more money B. taking more opportunities C. reducing missed opportunities D. weighing the choice of opportunities ‎59. The “leftover ... time” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to the time ________.‎ A. spared for watching the match at home B. taken to have dinner with friends C. spent on the way to and from the match D. saved from not going to watch the match ‎ ‎60. What are forgone opportunities? 放弃的机会 A. Opportunities you forget in decision-making. B. Opportunities you give up for better ones.‎ C. Opportunities you miss accidentally. D. Opportunities you make up for.‎ C科普知识类阅读 介绍一些与愤怒有关的表现以及医学原理和人们生气的时候表现出的行为模式。‎ Most damagingly, anger weakens减弱 a person’s ability to think clearly and keep control over his behaviour. The angry person loses objectivity客观性 in evaluating the emotional significance of the person or situation that arouses his anger.‎ Not everyone experiences anger in the same way; what angers one person may amuse another. The specific expression of anger also differs from person to person 61 based on biological and cultural forces. In contemporary 当代 culture, physical expressions of anger are generally considered too socially harmful to be tolerated. We no longer regard duels (决斗) as an appropriate expression of anger resulting from one person’s awareness of insulting behaviour on the part of another. ‎ Anger can be identified in the brain, where the electrical activity changes. Under most conditions EEG (脑电图) measures of electrical activity show balanced activity between the right and left prefrontal (额叶前部) areas. Behaviourally this corresponds to the general even-handed disposition (意向) that most of us possess most of the time. But when we are angry the EEG of the right and left prefrontal areas aren’t balanced and, as a result of this, we’re likely to react. And our behavioural response to anger is different from our response to other emotions, whether positive or negative. 脑电图在额叶前部会出现不平衡的现象62‎ Most positive emotions are associated with approach behaviour:行为模式we move closer to people we like. Most negative emotions, in contrast, are associated with avoidance behaviour: 逃避行为we move away from people and things that we dislike or that make us anxious. But anger is an exception to this pattern.63 The angrier we are, the more likely we are to move towards the object of our anger. This corresponds to符合于 what psychologists refer to as of ensive anger: the angry person moves closer in order to influence and control the person or situation causing his anger. This approach-and-confront behaviour is accompanied by a leftward prefrontal asymmetry (不对称) of EEG activity. Interestingly, this asymmetry lessens变少 if the angry person can experience empathy (同感) towards the individual who is bringing forth 产生the angry response. In defensive anger, in contrast, the EEG asymmetry is directed to 指向the right and the angry person feels helpless in the face of the anger-inspiring situation.‎ ‎61. The “duels” example in Paragraph 2 proves that the expression of anger ________.‎ A. usually has a biological basis B. varies among people C. is socially and culturally shaped D. influences one’s thinking and evaluation ‎62. What changes can be found in an angry brain?‎ A. Balanced electrical activity can be spotted.‎ B. Unbalanced patterns are found in prefrontal areas. 额前区 C. Electrical activity corresponds to one’s behaviour.‎ D. Electrical activity agrees with one’s disposition.‎ ‎63. Which of the following is typical特点 of offensive anger?‎ A. Approaching the source of anger. B. Trying to control what is disliked.‎ C. Moving away from what is disliked. D. Feeling helpless in the face of anger.‎ ‎64. What is the key message of the last paragraph?‎ A. How anger differs from other emotions. B. How anger relates to other emotions.‎ C. Behavioural responses to anger. D. Behavioural patterns of anger. 愤怒的模式 D社会生活类阅读 August 1990，Boston Dear Maya Shao-ming,‎ To me, June 6,1990 is a special day. My long-awaited期待已久 dream came true the minute your father cried, "A girl!" You are more than just a second child, more than just a girl to match our boy. You, little daughter, are the link to our female line, the legacy of another woman's pain and sacrifice 31 years ago. 65‎ Let me tell you about your Chinese grandmother. Somewhere in Hong Kong, in the late fifties, a young waitress found herself pregnant (怀孕) by a cook, probably a co-worker at her restaurant. She carried the baby to term, suffered to give it birth, and kept the little girl for the first three months of her life. I like to think that my mother—your grandmother—loved me and fought to raise me on her own, but that the daily struggle was too hard. Worn down by the demands of the new baby and perhaps the constant threat of starvation, she made the painful decision to give away her girl so that both of us might have a chance for a better life.66‎ More likely, I was dropped at the orphanage (M JLR) steps or somewhere else. I will probably never know the truth. Having a baby in her unmarried state would have brought shame on the family in China, so she probably kept my existence a secret. Once I was out of her life, it was as if I had never been born. And so you and your brother and I are the missing leaves on a family tree.‎ Do they ever wonder if we exist?‎ Before I was two, I was adopted by an Anglo couple. Fed three square meals 美餐a day, I grew like a wild weed and grasped all the opportunities they had to offer—books, music, education, church life and community activities. In a family of blue-eyed blonds, though, I stood out显眼 like a sore thumb.显而易见 67Whether from jealousy or fear of someone who looked so different, my older brothers sometimes teased me about my unpleasing skin, or made fun of my clumsy walk. Moody易怒的 and impatient, burdened by fears that none of us realized resulted from my early years of need, I was not an easy child to love. 68My mother and I conflicted countless times over the years, but gradually came to see one another as real human beings with faults and talents, and as women of strength in our own right. Lacking a mirror image in the mother who raised me, I had to seek my identity as a woman on my own. The Asian American community has helped me regain my double identity.‎ But part of me will always be missing: my beginnings, my personal history, all the delicate微妙的 details that give a person her origin. Nevertheless, someone gave me a lucky name "Siu Wai." "Siu" means "little," and "War means "clever." Therefore, my baby name was "Clever little one." Who chose those words? Who cared enough to note my arrival in the world?‎ I lost my Chinese name for 18 years. It was Americanized美国化 for convenience to "Sue." But like an ill-fitting不合适 coat, it made me uncomfortable. I hated the name. But even more, I hated being Chinese. It took many years to become proud of my Asian origin and work up the courage to take back my birth-name. That, plus a little knowledge of classroom Cantonese, is all the Chinese culture I have to offer you. Not white, certainly, but not really Asian, I try to pave the way between the two worlds and bridge the gap缩小差距 for you. Your name, "Shao-ming," is very much like mine—"Shao" means "little." And "ming" is "bright," as in a shining sun or moon. Whose lives will you brighten, little Maya? Your past is more complete than mine, and each day I cradle you in your babyhood, generously giving you the loving care I lacked for my first two years. When I pat you, I comfort the lost baby inside me who still cries for her mother.‎ Sweet Maya, it doesn't matter what you "become" later on. You have already fulfilled my wildest狂野的 dreams.‎ I love you,‎ Mommy ‎65. Why is June 6, ‎1990 a special day for Mommy?‎ A. Her dream of being a mother came true.‎ B.

They have already become part of our daily language. And 239 English words have been included in the latest Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese.‎ The inclusion has started a heated discussion. A group of scholars signed a letter of complaint over the inclusion of these English words, which, they think, goes against Chinese language policies. They not only worry that Chinese is borrowing an increasing number of English words but are also concerned that the inclusion may hurt the dignity of the Chinese language. However, others are in favor of the inclusion because it is hard to say whether it will threaten the Chinese language. They believe the selection is mostly a result of their function and use in daily life.‎ ‎[写作内容]‎ ‎1. 用约 30 个单词写出上文概要;‎ ‎2. 用约 120 个单词发表你的观点,内容包括:‎ ‎(1)支持或反对汉语词典收录英语词汇;‎ ‎(2)用 2- 3个理由或论据支撑你的观点。‎ ‎[写作要求]‎ ‎1. 可以支持文中任一观点,但必须提供理由或论据;‎ ‎2. 阐述观点或提供论据时,不能直接引用原文语句;‎ ‎3. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称;‎ ‎4. 不必写标题。‎ ‎[评分标准]‎ 内容完整,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当。‎ ‎81. 支持:‎ Today, more and more English words find their way into the Chinese language. Even the ‎ Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese includes 239 English words. Some people support it while others do not.‎ Generally, I am in favour of the inclusion. As the number of English learners is on the rise, it’s not difficult for them to understand these words in Chinese contexts. Besides, it is, on some occasions, more convenient to use English words. Most people nowadays use “IT” instead of its translation “xinxi jishu.” In our global village, we can see that it’s not uncommon for one language to borrow words from other languages. In English, there are many words borrowed from Latin, French, or even Chinese. In fact, Chinese has never stopped taking words from other languages, say, “ganbu” or “minzhu” from Japanese.‎ So, it’s safe to conclude that it is reasonable to include English which facilitates daily communication.‎ 反对:‎ With English words getting popular in both media and daily life, a Chinese dictionary has included 239 of them, leaving the public divided into two opposing groups: “For” and “Against.” ‎ I tend to take the “Against” side for two reasons. Firstly, this inclusion has actually polluted our mother tongue. Sooner or later, many English accents will rise and fall with the four Chinese tones. And, rules don’t tell us how to pronounce such English-turned Chinese words as “wifi” and “Out” in a Chinese way! Secondly, such an inclusion may give rise to prejudices of the educated against those with little knowledge of English. Just for one illustration, while college students take “Bye-bye” for granted when parting from each other, it may unconsciously hurt the feelings of someone who is used to “zaijian.”‎ In short, not only has the inclusion poisoned Chinese, it may also bring about distance between the Chinese people.‎
