How have you managed not to take a drink for almost 20 years? It took me almost 20 years to have the 31 to even ask my father this very personal question. When Dad first 32 drinking, the whole family was on pins and needles every time he got into a 33 that, in the past, would have started him 34 again. For a few years we were 35 to bring it up for fear that the drinking would begin again.‎ ‎“I had this little poem that I would recite to myself at least four to five times a day,” was Dad’s 36 to my 18-year-old unasked question. “The words were a constant 37 to me that things were 38 so hard that I could not deal with them,” Dad said. Then he 39 the poem with me. The poem’s 40 , yet profound words immediately became 41 of my daily routine as well.‎ About a month after this 42 with my father, I received a gift in the mail from a friend of mine. It was a book of daily sayings of wisdom with one 43 for each day of the year.‎ It has been my 44 that when you get something with days of the year on it, you naturally turn to the page that lists your own 45 .‎ I 46 opened the book to November 10 to see 47 words of wisdom this book had in store for me. I was 48 when I looked at the page, and then tears of disbelief and appreciation 49 down my face. There, on my birthday, was the exact same poem that had 50 my father for all these years! It is called the Serenity（平静）Prayer.‎ God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;‎ the courage to change the things I can;‎ and the wisdom to know the difference.‎ ‎31.

Thirst is often misinterpreted as hunger, and if you are drinking the right amount of water, you will find it much easier to avoid snacking. Look to drink at around eight or nine glasses of water every day.‎ ‎ Lower your calorie count. You can use a calorie calculator to determine how much you need to take in to maintain or lose weight. If you take in fewer calories than you burn each day, you will lose weight as a result. As a rule, an average-sized woman needs to take in less than 1,300 calories per day for extreme weight loss, as you’ll naturally burn around 2,000. Exact measurements differ based on age, height, weight and activity level.‎ ‎ Cut the junk food. Chips, soda and candy seem harmless if taken as snacks, but can seriously affect your weight loss. Limit yourself to one or two snacks per day and switch your usual snack foods for baby carrots, apples and grapes.‎ ‎ Break up your meals. If you want to lose weight, try eating four or five small meals per day instead of two or three large ones. This makes it easier for your body to process what you are consuming. Divide your required calories by the number of meals you’ll be eating to determine how large each meal should be. Space your meals out two or three hours apart — try meals at breakfast, mid-morning, lunch, afternoon and dinner.‎ ‎ Doing intense aerobic(需氧的) exercise. You have to encourage your body to burn calories if you want to drop pounds and inches. Running is by far the fastest calorie burner, with the potential for 986 calories per hour. If you’re unable to run, use an elliptical machine(椭圆机), jump rope, or participate in a high-impact aerobics class.‎ ‎51. When you are thirsty, you may mistake it as a sign .‎ A. to drink something ‎ 英语试卷 第 14 页 (共 14 页)‎ B. to eat something C. to sleep for a while D. to do some exercise ‎52. If you want to lose weight, you need to .‎ A. burn fewer calories B. eat as much as usual C. eat less than you burn D. measure your weight first ‎53. Of the following, which might be beneficial for losing weight?‎ A. Fruits. ‎ B. Hamburgers. ‎ C. Steak. ‎ D. Ice cream.‎ ‎54. Why are you advised to eat four or five small meals each day?‎ A. Because you are always hungry.‎ B. Because it’s easier for digestion.‎ C. Because it will keep you occupied.‎ D. Because you need more space.‎ ‎55. Where might this passage come from?‎ A. A travel guide.‎ B. A science report.‎ C. A medical textbook.‎ D. A health magazine.‎ B It was rainy, and I had no desire to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn’s house. But she had insisted that I come to see something at the top of the mountain.‎ So here I was, reluctantly making the two-hour journey through fog that hung like veils. By the time I saw how thick it was near the summit, I’d gone too far to turn back.‎ Nothing could be worth this, I thought as I inched along the dangerous highway.‎ ‎“I’ll stay for lunch, but I’m heading back down as soon as the fog lifts,” I announced when I arrived.‎ ‎“But I need you to drive me to the garage to pick up my car,” Carolyn said. “Could we at least do that?”‎ ‎“How far is it?” I asked.‎ ‎“About three minutes,” she said. “I’ll drive—I’m used to it.”‎ After ten minutes on the mountain road, I looked at her anxiously. “I thought you said three minutes.”‎ She grinned. “This is a detour.”‎ Turning down a narrow track, we parked the car and got out. We walked along a path that was thick with old pine needles. Huge black-green evergreens towered over us. Gradually, the peace and 英语试卷 第 14 页 (共 14 页)‎ ‎ silence of the place began to fill my mind.‎ Then we turned a corner and stopped—and I gasped in amazement.‎ From the top of the mountain, sloping for several acres across the mountain side and valleys, were rivers of flowers in numerous colors. It looked as though the sun had tipped over and spilled gold down the mountainside.‎ A series of questions filled my mind. Who created such beauty? Why? How?‎ As we approached the home that stood in the center of the property, we saw a sign that read: “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking.”‎ The first answer was: “One Woman—Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain.” The second was: “One at a Time.” The third: “Started in 1958.”‎ As we drove home, I was so moved by what we had seen, I could scarcely speak. “She changed the world,” I finally said, “one bulb(球茎) at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it.”‎ The wonder of it would not let me go. “Imagine,” I said, “if I’d had a vision and worked at it, just a little bit every day, what might I have accomplished?”‎ Carolyn looked at me sideways, smiling. “Start tomorrow,” she said. “Better yet, start today.”‎ ‎56. What was the weather like when the author drove to visit her daughter?‎ A. It was snowing. ‎ B. It was foggy.‎ C. It was freezing. ‎ D. It was sunny.‎ ‎57. What can be inferred about the daughter?‎ A. She told a white lie to her mother.‎ B. She was an experienced driver.‎ C. She didn’t know the way very well.‎ D. She knew everything about the woman.‎ ‎58. The mother began to enjoy herself when .‎ A. they were driving in the car B. they were at the garage C. they were on their way back D. they were walking in the woods ‎59. Which of the following can best describe the owner of the property?‎ A. Crazy and silly.‎ B. Determined and persistent. ‎ C. Brave and careful.‎ D. Beautiful and courageous.‎ ‎60. What do you think the mother will do after this visit?‎ A. She will look after her grandchildren.‎ B. She will pay a second visit to the garden.‎ C. She will begin to do something meaningful.‎ 英语试卷 第 14 页 (共 14 页)‎ D. She will come and live with her daughter.‎ C Abraham Lincoln, a self-taught lawyer, was elected 16th president of the United States in November 1860, shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War. Lincoln proved to be a smart military strategist and a competent leader: His Emancipation Proclamation(解放宣言) paved the way for slavery’s abolition, while his Gettysburg Address stands as one of the most famous speeches in American history. In April 1865, with the Union on the brink of victory, Abraham Lincoln was killed; his untimely death made him a hero to the cause of liberty, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest presidents in U.S. history.‎ On January 20, 1981, Reagan took office. Only 69 days later he was shot by a would-be killer, but quickly recovered and returned to duty. His grace and wit during the dangerous incident caused his popularity to soar.‎ At the end of his two terms in office, Ronald Reagan viewed with satisfaction the achievements of his innovative program known as the Reagan Revolution, which aimed to motivate the American people and reduce their reliance upon Government. He felt he had fulfilled his campaign pledge of 1980 to restore “the great, confident roar of American progress and growth and optimism.”‎ When George W. Bush, at the age of 54, became the 43rd president of the United States, it was only the second time in American history that a president’s son went on to the White House. John Quincy Adams, elected the sixth president in 1824, was the son of John Adams, the second president. While John Adams had brought up his son to be president, George Bush, the 41st president, insisted he was surprised when the eldest of his six children became interested in politics, became governor of Texas, and then went on to the White House.‎ Barack Obama served as the 44th President of the United States. His story is the American story — values from the heartland, a middle-class upbringing in a strong family, hard work and education as the means of getting ahead, and the belief that a life so blessed should be lived in service to others.‎ With a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas,‎ 英语试卷 第 14 页 (共 14 页)‎ ‎ President Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. He was raised with help from his grandfather, who served in Patton’s army, and his grandmother, who worked her way up from the secretarial pool to middle management at a bank.‎ ‎61. Of the four presidents, who is regarded as an excellent public speaker?‎ A. Abraham Lincoln. ‎ B. Ronald Reagan. ‎ C. George W. Bush. ‎ D. Barack Obama.‎ ‎62. When Donald Reagan left the White House, he felt that .‎ A. he regretted having been elected President B. he still had much to do for the country C. he had kept his promise to the people D. he was becoming more popular with the people ‎63. Which of the following presidents took office first?‎ A. George W. Bush. ‎ B. John Adams.‎ C. John Quincy Adams. ‎ D. George Bush. ‎ ‎64. Of the four presidents, who successfully realized his American Dream?‎ A. Abraham Lincoln. ‎ B. Ronald Reagan. ‎ C. George W. Bush. ‎ D. Barack Obama.‎ ‎65. Of the four presidents, who was not able to finish his term of service?‎ A. Abraham Lincoln. ‎ B. Ronald Reagan. ‎ C. George W. Bush. ‎ D. Barack Obama.‎ D Boomerang children who return to live with their parents after university can be good for families, leading to closer, more supportive relationships and increased contact between the generations, a study has found.‎ ‎ The findings contradict research published earlier this year showing that returning adult children trigger a significant decline in their parents’ quality of life and wellbeing.‎ ‎ The young adults taking part in the study were “more positive than might have been expected” about moving back home – the shame is reduced as so many of their peers are in the same position, and they acknowledged the benefits of their parents’ financial and emotional support. Daughters were happier than sons, often slipping back easily into teenage 英语试卷 第 14 页 (共 14 页)‎ ‎ patterns of behaviour, the study found.‎ ‎ Parents on the whole were more uncertain, expressing concern about the likely duration of the arrangement and how to manage it. But they acknowledged that things were different for graduates today, who leave university with huge debts and fewer job opportunities.‎ ‎ The families featured in the study were middle-class and tended to view the achievement of adult independence for their children as a “family project”. Parents accepted that their children required support as university students and then as graduates returning home, as they tried to find jobs paying enough to enable them to move out and get on the housing ladder.‎ ‎ “However,” the study says, “day-to-day tensions about the prospects of achieving different dimensions of independence, which in a few extreme cases came close to conflict, characterised the experience of a majority of parents and a little over half the graduates”.‎ Areas of disagreement included chores, money and social life. While parents were keen to help, they also wanted different relationships from those they had with their own parents, and continuing to support their adult children allowed them to remain close.‎ ‎66. What is the finding of the previous research?‎ A. Boomerang children made their parents happier.‎ B. The parents were looking forward to their children’s return.‎ C. The parents’ quality of life became worse than before.‎ D. Boomerang children never did any housework.‎ ‎67. The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 2 may be best replaced by .‎ A. cause ‎ B. defeat ‎ C. arise ‎ D. allow ‎68. What is the attitude of the college graduates towards returning home?‎ A. They are ashamed of turning to their parents for help.‎ B. They are glad that they could come back.‎ C. They are doubtful about whether they should return.‎ D. They are proud to be independent from the family.‎ ‎69. What can be inferred as the reason for the “boomerang children” phenomenon?‎ A. The children want to keep in closer touch with their parents.‎ B. The parents are willing to provide support to their children.‎ C. It is harder for the children to secure a satisfying job.‎ D. There is more house work needed to be done by the children.‎ ‎70. What is the side effect of the “boomerang children” phenomenon?‎ A. Both parents and children enjoy a more harmonious relationship.‎ B. Neither parents nor children want to do the chores at home.‎ C. Not only parents but also children want to be independent.‎ D. There are occasional quarrels between parents and children.‎ 英语试卷 第 14 页 (共 14 页)‎ 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共35分)‎ 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。‎ One out of many important things for the whole family to do is to have dinner together. Researchers began reporting the benefits of family dinner about a decade ago, focusing mainly on how it affects children. Studies show that those families who eat dinner at least 3 or 4 times a week together, benefit in many ways. ‎ Eating together helps families achieve open communication and build stronger and healthier relationships. Children have better grades at school and are better adjusted as teens and adults, and the entire family enjoys healthier nutrition. For many families, eating dinner together proves to be a good and effective way to reduce the risk of youth rates of addiction, and helps to nurture healthier children. It is also a great time to share the events of the day, discuss news and ideas and just be together and enjoy each other’s company. ‎ During dinner time parents have better opportunity to show that they are the prior to their children. Sitting at the same table and sharing meals is where and when parents can find out more about their children’s school performance, daily activities and attitudes toward life. When parents have all this information they can better direct their kids toward positive things in life. They also have better chance to reduce the possibility that children will get involved with alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs. ‎ However, family researchers say that the benefits of family dinner by no means can be considered as automatic. Parents can sit down to dinner with their kids every day and achieve nothing. Family dinner may not benefit if there is too much arguing going on, if there is no meaningful conversation or, what is even worse, if there is just plain silence during gathering. ‎ ‎71.

To pay back, we should spare no effort to work hard in every subject so that we can be admitted into our dream universities. It goes without doubt that only by acquiring as much advanced knowledge as possible can we shoulder more responsibilities not only for the society but also for the future of our country.
