The only problem with our plan was that this pasture was guarded by a huge, mean Hereford bull. Mr.Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in the township, maybe even the county, and we believed him. But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was something fishy about his claim. For one thing, we remembered Mr.Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another, Elsie seemed like an odd name for a bull. Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the pasture, but then another problem surfaced. Mom said she would talk to Mr.Blickez if we would take our cousin Joanie along with us. Joanie was almost two years older than me and a head taller. If her teasing ever got around my grade school, it would be all over for me. In fact, I still had a headache from a quarrel with her that morning. “I’m not going swimming with that dumb girl cousin.” I told my mom. “Either Joanie goes with, or you stay home alone,” Mom said in her serious tone. I gave in and we set out. On our way across the pasture, Walt yelled suddenly. Elsie had approached him quietly and was licking(舔) his back. Joanie and I dove under the wire fence, but while I was on the ground I looked up and saw that Elsie wasn’t a big mean bull after all. She was going to keep licking my brother’s back as long as he stood still. We had many good days growing up and visiting our secret swimming hole guarded by the so- called “big mean bull”. And as it turned out, for a girl cousin, Joanie hasn’t been too bad. She’s been one of my best friends over the years. 24. What’s the meaning of the underline word “fishy” in Paragraph 2? A. Funny.

Instead of looking at nature, I checked my e-mail. Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed（推特简讯）. Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning. I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vacation, but my head wasn’t. So this year I made up my mind to try something different: withdrawal from the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by giving the iPad to my wife. The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration （沮丧）. I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely breaking away from e-mail, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio—and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to do all along: read books. This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem. I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. “I don’t need it,” I said. However, as we return to post-vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back at work? There are times when the need to know what’s being said right now is great. I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two. I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked. 28. What do we know about the author’s last summer vacation? A. He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view. B. His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel. C. He hated himself for acting as if he were working on vacation. D. He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable. 解析：根据第一段中 I was behaving as if I were still in the office．可知作者对于自己在假期里 玩手机上瘾，而导致就和在办公室上班一样而感到生气。故 C 选项正确。 答案：C 29 What did the author do to keep away from the Internet this year? A. He cut off his cellphone signal. B. He handed his iPad to his wife. C. He refused to cheat in his house. D. He listened to the radio most of the time. 解析：根据第二段 I started by giving the iPad to my wife．一句，可知作者首先就把手机交给 了自己的妻子。故答案选 B。 答案：B 30. When back at work, the author will probably choose to ________. A. keep control of when and how to use the Internet B. continue to road more and more books C. stay away from the Internet for ever D. stop checking what is being said right now completely 解析：根据第六段中 I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely．But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes 一句可知答案 A 正确。 答案：A 31. What is the author’s opinion of a great vacation in the passage? A. A vacation is having nothing to do but read all day. B. A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overvalued. C. A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative. D. A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wishes to. 解析：根据最后一段 I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive.可知假期就是换个节奏，让大脑可以休息以便于更有创造力，故答案 C 正确。 答案：C D Before I studied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred. While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be. I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The joke wasn’t only funny, it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got. The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you envy one of your friends, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him. In short, we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions, he will certainly like it a lot. 32. What did the author find out after studying psychology? A. Only good jokes make people laugh B. Many factors lead to people laughing. C. Funny things can make people laugh. D. Laughter can make people healthy. 解析：根据第一段中 While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke 一句可知作者发现有很多因素 导致人们发笑，故 B 选项正确。 答案：B 33. Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians? A. They played a trick on the pedestrians. B. The pedestrians behaved in a funny way. C. They could feel the pedestrians’ happiness. D. Their emotion was approved of by the show. 解析：根据第二段 That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got．一句，可知人们在感 到好笑的同时，也体会到自己被认同，故答案选 D。 答案：D 34. What does the underlined word “belittling” probably mean? A. Annoy B. Blame C. Look down on D. Make up to 解析：根据前面 making fun of（取笑）可知此处为贬义词，故选 C。look down on 瞧不起。 答案：C 35. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 解析：通读全文可知，本文第一段一出话题，第二、三段进行举例阐述，最后一段进行总结， 故答案 B 正确。 答案：B 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。 High school can be quite the stressful time for any student.

They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways, 62 they are too serious and too strict with their children, and that they seldom give their children a free hand. Parents often find 63 difficult to win their children’s trust and they always forget how they themselves felt when young. Young people like to act without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Adults worry 64 （much） easily. Most of them plan things ahead. Young people make their parents angry with their 65 （ choose ） in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble: It just shows that they feel cut off 66 the adult’s world, and they have not yet been accepted into their world. That’s why young people want to make a new culture of 67 own.

Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. All you want is 68 （leave） alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after 69 （be）a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents’ control. If you plan to control your life, you’d better win your parents.
