Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best Jits the context.‎ The expression, "everybody's doing it," is very much at the center of the concept of peer pressure. It is a social influence applied on an individual in order to get that person to act or believe in a(n) ___41___ way as a larger group. This influence can be negative or positive, and can exist in both large and small groups.‎ People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly ___42___that some part of their self-respect comes from the approval of others. This instinct explains why the approval of peers, and the fear of ___43___, is such a powerful force in many people's lives. This instinct drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer a simple “fine" when a stranger asks "how are you?" even if it is not necessarily true.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.‎ ‎（A）‎ ‎“You can use me as a last resort(选择), and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids’ lacrosse(长曲棍球) club.‎ I guess that there’s probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on … At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, “Alright. Yes, I’ll do it.”‎ I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.‎ Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community(社区) as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.‎ In that sense, I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I’d freely like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?‎ ‎56. What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph l？‎ A. She knows little about the club.‎ B. She isn’t good at sports.‎ C. She just doesn’t want to volunteer.‎ D. She’s unable to meet her schedule.‎ ‎57. What does the underlined phrase “tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. Encourage teamwork.‎ B. Appeal to feelings.‎ C. Promote good deeds.‎ D. Provide advice.‎ ‎58. What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3?‎ A. She gets interested in lacrosse.‎ B. She is proud of her kids.‎ C. She’ll work for another season.‎ D. She becomes a good helper.‎ ‎59. Why does the author like doing volunteer work?‎ A. It gives her a sense of duty.‎ B. It makes her very happy.‎ C. It enables her to work hard.‎ D. It brings her material rewards.‎ ‎【答案】56. C 57. B 58. D 59. B ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文中讲述了作者成功说服了一个家长参加志愿者团队，并且这位家长后来成为这个团队中有力的帮手，同时作者在参与志愿者活动过程中也获得了很多快乐。‎ ‎【56题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的You can use me as a last resort(选择), and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it.可知，这位家长说如果其他人都不愿意做志愿者的工作，她会做这份工作，作者可以把她当作最后的备选，也就是她不愿意做志愿者的工作。故选C。‎ ‎【57题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据划线前句she may just need a little persuading.和下面的一句话I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on 可知，作者为了劝服这位家长，举了两个例子。故可知，划线句此处应是“煽情”之意。故选B。‎ ‎【58题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段中这位家长作出的贡献及the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team.可知，她最终成为了志愿者队伍中的重要的一员，也即是说，她成了一个好帮手。故选D。‎ ‎【59题详解】‎ 细节理解题。题干问作者为什么喜欢做志愿者工作。根据第四段最后两句Connecting to the community(社区) as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.可知，为社区做贡献可以带来真正的快乐，参加志愿者活动活动能让人感觉快乐。故选B。‎ ‎(B)‎ History Fair Competition Understanding history is vital to understanding ourselves as a people and as a nation.

They suddenly became extinct. Smaller species survived. The large, slow-growing animals were easy game, and were quickly hunted to extinction. Now something similar could be happening in the oceans.‎ That the seas are being overfished has been known for years. What researchers such as Ransom Myers and Boris Worm have shown is just how fast things are changing. They have looked at half a century of data from fisheries around the world. Their methods do not attempt to estimate the actual biomass (the amount of living biological matter) of fish species in particular parts of the ocean, but rather changes in that biomass over time. According to their latest paper published in Nature, the biomass of large predators (animals that kill and eat other animals) in a new fishery is reduced on average by 80% within 15 years of the start of exploitation. In some long-fished areas, it has halved again since then.‎ Dr. Worm acknowledges that the figures are conservative. One reason for this is that fishing technology has improved. Today's vessels (船)can find their prey using satellites and sonar, which were not available 50 years ago. That means a higher proportion of what is in the sea is being caught, so the real difference between present and past is likely to be worse than the one recorded by changes in catch sizes. In the early days, too, longlines (多钩长线) would have been more filled with fish. Some individuals would therefore not have been caught, since no baited hooks (带饵钩)would have been available to trap them, leading to an underestimate of fish stocks in the past. Furthermore, in the early days of longline fishing, a lot of fish were lost to sharks after they had been hooked. That is no longer a problem, because there are fewer sharks around now.‎ Dr. Myers and Dr. Worm argue that their work gives a correct baseline, which future management efforts must take into account. They believe the data support an idea current among ‎ marine biologists, that of the “shifting baseline". The idea is that people have failed to detect the massive changes which have happened in the ocean because they have been looking back only a relatively short time into the past. That matters because theory suggests that the maximum sustainable yield （产量）that can be cropped from a fishery comes when the biomass of a target species is about 50% of its original levels。. Most fisheries are well below that, which is a bad way to do business.‎ ‎63. The extinction of large prehistoric animals is noted to suggest that____.‎ A. large animals were easily hurt in the changing environment B. small species survived as large animals disappeared C. large sea animals may face the same threat today D. slow-growing fish outlive fast-growing ones ‎64. By saying these figures are conservative, Dr. Worm means that ________.‎ A. fishing technology has improved rapidly B. the catch-sizes are actually smaller than recorded C. the marine biomass has suffered a greater loss D. the data collected so far are out of date ‎65. Dr. Myers and other researchers hold that____ .‎ A. people should look for a baseline that can't work for a longer time B. fisheries should keep the yield below 50% of the biomass C. the ocean biomass should restore its original level D. people should adjust the fishing baseline to changing situation ‎66. The writer seems to be mainly concerned with most fisheries’____ .‎ A. biomass level B. management efficiency C. catch-size limits D. technological application ‎【答案】63. C 64. C 65. D 66.

Now something similar could be happening in the oceans.”可知，这种生长缓慢的大型动物很容易被猎杀，很快就灭绝了，现在海洋里也可能发生类似的事情，由此可知，提到史前动物的灭绝就是为了表明大型海洋动物如今可能也面临同样的威胁，故C项正确。‎ ‎【64题详解】‎ 词句猜测题。根据画线句后的“One reason for this is that fishing technology has improved.

Most fisheries are well below that, which is a bad way to do business.”可知，迈尔斯博士和沃姆博士认为，他们的工作给出了一个正确的基准，未来的管理工作必须考虑到这个基准，他们相信这些数据支持了海洋生物学家当前的一个想法，即“改变基线”。这个想法是，人们未能察觉到海洋中发生的巨大变化，因为他们回顾过去的时间相对较短，这一点很重要，因为理论表明，当一个目标物种的生物量达到其原始水平的50%时，可以从渔业中获取的最大可持续产量，大多数渔业都远低于这个水平，这是一种不好的经商方式，由此可知，他们认为人们应该根据情况的变化调整捕鱼基线，故D项正确。‎ ‎【46题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章内容，特别是最后一段中的“That matters because theory suggests that the ‎ maximum sustainable yield （产量）that can be cropped from a fishery comes when the biomass of a target species is about 50% of its original levels.

Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of same coin. ___67___ Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.‎ ‎___68___ More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.‎ You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. ___69___ So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity(清晰) of thoughts can help you move forward.‎ Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. ___70___ They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.‎ Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot ‎ but can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough. ___71___You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.‎ You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned.

Summary Writing ‎72.阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。‎ Parents everywhere praise their kids. Jenn Berman, author of The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy and Confident Kids, says, “We’ve gone to the opposite extreme of a few decades ago when parents tended to be more strict.” By giving kids a lot of praise, parents think they’re building their children’s confidence, when, in fact, it may be just the opposite. Too much praise can backfire and, when given in a way that’s insincere, make kids afraid to try new things or take a risk for fear of not being able to stay on top where their parents’ praise has put them.‎ Still, don’t go too far in the other direction. Not giving enough praise can be just as damaging as giving too much. Kids will feel like they’re not good enough or that you don’t care and, as a result, may see no point in trying hard for their accomplishments.‎ So what is the right amount of praise? Experts say that the quality of praise is more important than the quantity. If praise is sincere and focused on the effort not the outcome, you can give it as often as your child does something that deserves a verbal reward. “We should especially recognize our children’s efforts to push themselves and work hard to achieve a goal,” says Donahue, author of Parenting Without Fear: Letting Go of Worry and Focusing on What Really Matters. “One thing to remember is that it’s the process not the end product that matters.”‎ Your son may not be the best basketball player on his team. But if he’s out there every day and playing hard, you should praise his effort regardless of whether his team wins or loses. Praising the effort and not the outcome can also mean recognizing your child when she has worked hard to clean the yard, cook dinner, or finish a book report. But whatever it is, praise should be given on a case-by-case basis and be proportionate(相称的) to the amount of effort your child has put into it.‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】Parents tend to go to extremes when it comes to praising their kids. (要点一) Yet, both ‎ too much and too little praise can be equally damaging. (要点二) When giving praise, parents should be sincere and concentrate on the process instead of the result. (要点三) Similarly, they ought to give praise for how much effort their kids have invested in the work they’re involved in.
