Things were going according to my 37, until I lost my dad suddenly to cancer, and that’s when it felt as if 38 would ever be good again. I was 39. I was tired of seeing friends accelerating into 40 life while each day felt like a challenge I had to overcome. I was sad from top to bottom and from the 41 out until I heard a quote that quite literally changed my life. ‎ ‎‘If you can’t change a situation, change your mind.’ ‎ I wrote the quote down on post-it notes and 42 them everywhere: on my bedroom mirror, across the back of my phone and 43 on my laptop keyboard. I put it on my to do lists and wrote it in my journal. I repeated it to myself 44. I wanted to feel better, and now I had a plan. Grief is real. And the things dragging me down were mostly out of my 45, but my attitude was something only I could 46. So I started over. I fiercely protected my 47 and reactions to situations the way a mother bear might care for her cub. I had 48 been such a happy person and I 49 to be that person again. ‎ ‎50, I formed a new habit. ‘If you can’t change a situation, change your mind’ became my go-to response for everything from a claustrophobic (幽闭的) subway car to a 51 date to a disagreement with a friend. Of course there were days when I felt 52 despite my best efforts. 53 there are still moments when negativity gets the best of me. ‎ But I made a promise to myself to wake up every day and try. Feeling angry and upset won’t 54 anything about so many situations I found myself in—in fact, it usually made things 55.

In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed with a genetic blood disorder, beta thalassemia. Isabelle’s body is unable to produce healthy red blood cells. As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions(输血) every 4~6 weeks since she was 11 months old. ‎ A lifetime of regular transfusions can leadto serious medical problems. Her only chance at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow transplant. Isabelle is an only child, so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through the Be The Match Registry. The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life, the gift of blood. ‎ Held at Wiley Hall Wednesday, March 26, 2014‎ Behind Heathman Dormitory/Butterfield Rd. ‎ ‎12:00PM-6:00PM Don’t forget to bring your driver’s license or another form of identification when you donate. ‎ Visit www. ribc. org to make an appointment, ‎ Sponsor Code 3390. ‎ FREE Kingston Pizza!!!‎ Marrow Donors: BE THE MATCH bethematch. org ‎●be18 to44 years old ‎ ‎●in good health ‎●give a swab(化验标本) of your cheek cells for marrow typing ‎●FREE— sponsored by Michael’s Fund www. ribc. org 800-283-8385‎ The Rhode Island Blood Centre distributes blood products to hospitals in Rhode Island and Soutbern Now England. ‎ ‎56. We can learn from the passage that .‎ A. the blood drive is organized by Isabelle’s mother B. Isabelle has been ill for 11 months C. Isabelle receives blood transfusions regularly D. doctors will sponsor Isabella’s family ‎57. To be a marrow donor, you must .‎ A. be a relative of the patient B. carry a driver’s license C. apply to Michael’s Fund D. be at least 18 years old B Everyone knows that walking is beneficial to the aging body, but did you know it keeps the mind sharper as well? Research shows that walking can actually increase the connectivity within brain, which tends to decrease as the grey hairs increase. ‎ Patterns of connectivity decrease as we got older, said Dr. Arthur F. Kramer, who led the study team at the University‎ of ‎Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Networks aren’t as well connected to support the things we do, such as driving, he said. But we found as a function of aerobic(有氧的) fitness, the networks became more reasonably connected. ‎ Kramer’s walking study, which was published in the journal Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, studied 70 adults from 60 to 80 years old in a year. Persons in the walking group, the aerobics training group, got the largest benefits, he said, and not just physically. ‎ ‎“We also measured brain function,” said Kramer, whose team used FMRI to examine brain networks. A group of 20-to-30-year olds were tested for comparison. “The aerobic group also improved in memory, attention and a variety of other cognitive(认知的) processes,” Kramer said. “As the older people in the walking group became more fit, the connectivity among different areas in the networks increased and became similar to those of the 20-year olds, “Kramer explained. ‎ But the results did not happen overnight. Effects in the walking group were observed only after they trained for 12 months. Six-month tests got no clear changes. ‎ The findings come as no surprise to Dr. Lynn Millar, an expert with the American‎ ‎College of Sports Medicine. She said while walking might seem like a simple activity, the brain is actually working to gather information from many different sources. ‎ ‎“When we walk we collect visual information, auditory information, as well as information from joints and muscles about where the foot is, how much force, and things like that,” said Millar, a professor of Physical Therapy at Andrews University, in Berrien Springs‎, ‎Michigan. ‎ ‎58. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Walking is necessary to the old B. The strengths and weaknesses of walking C. Walking helps keep body and brain young D. The latest experiment about walking ‎59. What do you think “networks” refers to in Para3?‎ A. the Internet B. the functions of the body C. the key to health D. the relationship among people ‎60. What can be concluded from the passage?‎ A. The functions of our bodies arc only related to exercise but not age. ‎ B. If the old walk often, their connectivity can be better than the young. ‎ C. It takes quite a long time to find out the effects in the walking group. ‎ D. Walking is the best way to stay mentally and physically healthy. ‎ C ‎“Everyone who matters speaks English, many in Britain and America say. In fact; a lot of people do not. But in some fields, this is approximately true: in globalized professions, the worlds single scholarly language is increasingly indispensable(不可或缺的). Among those professions is science, in which more and more work is being done in English. This is not always good A scientific lingua franca has advantages. Just imagine scientists working bard in different countries unaware of each other’s successes and failures. For centuries, Latin allowed the Copernicuses, Keplers, and Newtons of Europe to stand, in Newtons words, on the shoulders of giants.”‎ Now, non-Anglophone(不以英语为母语的) scientists learn English; English-speaking scientists hardly bother with other languages at all. The rise in the need to master more STEM subjects(science, technology, engineering and maths) has made schools give up anything that looks dispensable, and in the English-speaking countries that includes foreign languages. Lawmakers in Florida have even suggested letting schoolchildren learn a computer language to satisfy schools requirements for foreign languages. ‎ Three scientists have raised an alarm about English-only science in a paper in the journal PLOS Biology. Tatsuya Amano, Juan Gonzalez Varo, and William Sutherland looked at the fields where local knowledge matters, such as ecology and conservation. They found that 64.4% of the ‎ papers on Google Scholar mentioning conservation or biodiversity were in English. The second most common language, Spanish, was far behind, with 12.6%. Monolingual ghettos(单一语言社群) are bad for science. In 2004, the work on the transfer of H5N1 flu from birds to pigs was not widely read because it was written in Chinese while the decisive time was lost. In the study’s samples, only half of the Spanish-language papers and a third of those in Japanese has abstracts(摘要) in English. Those that did, unsurprisingly, were more likely to be published infamous journals. But the bird-flu case shows that they hardly include all the scientific research that matters. Some good scientists still can’t write in English. ‎ The solution is not to replace English, but to encourage multilingualism(多国语言的使用)wherever it is practical, and require it when necessary. This can be an advantage for non-native English-speakers Studies have shown that writing and thinking in a second language can encourage deep, clear thinking. Working in your native language encourages fluency. A bilingual person can have the best of both. ‎ More and more young scientists will speak English as a matter of course. They should ensure that clear English abstracts and keywords from their papers are available; this may be more important than the original abstract itself. But Anglophone scholars and institutions can also play a role. Where work is of particular importance to a particular country or area, they too should make sure that abstracts and keywords are available in relevant languages. Groups of scholars can share the cost of full quality translations. ‎ An alternative is that in the future all work would be done in English. In such a world other languages would fail to develop technical vocabularies and expressions needed for science. They would be used socially and at home, but not for serious work. That would be a shame. ‎ ‎61. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that .‎ A. the globalization of the English language can’t be stopped B. the level of English determines ones social status C. English is the most widely used language in science D. the influence of English as a language of wide use is reduced ‎62. What does the underlined phrase lingua franca probably mean?‎ A. Effective communication B. A research approach. ‎ C. Valuable information D. A common language. ‎ ‎63. STEM subjects and computer language are mentioned to show that .‎ A. the language used in science changes as time goes by B. the backwardness in language education is regrettable C. the importance of English is overvalued worldwide D. schools curriculums are controlled by certain laws ‎64. According to Paragraph 4, papers about local knowledge .‎ A. often fail to receive timely attention they deserve B. are increasingly known with the help of Google Scholar C. are usually published without English abstracts D. are more likely to appear in little-known journals ‎65. In the author’s view, apart from English, other 1anguages . ‎ A. are more suitable for scientific research B. will gradually lose technical vocabularies C. are certain to be used socially and at home D. should be widely used in serious work D It was a sunny Monday morning in the spring of 1966. I drove down York Avenue looking for a customer. I was stopping at a light just opposite New York Hospita1 when I saw a well-dressed man dashing down the hospital steps. He was waving to me. Just then, the light turned green, the driver behind me honked impatiently, and I heard a policeman’s whistle. But I wasn’t about to lose this ride. Maybe the man could make me have a lucky start. ‎ LaGuardia‎ ‎Airport‎, please,” the man said after jumping in, “And thanks for waiting.”‎ After what seemed a long silence, he started a conversation.‎ ‎“How do you like driving a taxi?”‎ ‎“It’s OK,” I said, “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes, But if I could get a job making $100 a week more, ld take it just like you would.” ‎ His reply interested me. “I would not change jobs if it meant I had to take a cut of a hundred a week,” I’d never heard anyone say such a thing. ‎ I’ve always been curious about people. Many times during long rides, Id developed a close relationship with my passengers. And quite often Id received very good advice from accountants, lawyers and plumbers. Maybe it was that this fellow clearly loved his work; maybe it was just the pleasant mood of a spring morning. Somehow I decided to ask for his help. ‎ ‎“Could I ask a big favor of you? I have a son, 15, a good kid. He’s doing well in school. We’d like him to go to camp this summer, but he wants a job, but I can’t offer him one such.” I paused. “Is there any possibility that you might get him some kind of a summer job—even if he doesn’t get paid?” He didn’t talk and I was starting to feel foolish for bringing up the subject. After a long time, he said, “Well, the medical students have a summer research project. Maybe he could fit in. Have him send mo his school record. It was the last time I ever saw him. ‎ That evening sitting around the dining room table with my family, I announced proudly, “This could be a summer job for you, Robbie.” He read it out loud: “Fred Plum, N. Y. Hosp.” My wife: “Is he a doctor?” My son: “Is he an apple?” After I yelled and finally threatened to cut off his allowance, Robbie sent off his grades the next morning. ‎ The fruit joke continued for a few days, but gradually the incident was forgotten. Two weeks later, when I arrived home from work, my son was smiling. Ho handed me a letter addressed to him. The letterhead read “Fred Plum, MD, Neurologist-in Chief, New York‎ ‎Hospital.” He was to phone Plums secretary for an interview. Robbie got the job. The white lab coat he wore made him feel a lot more important than ho really was as he followed Plum around the hospital, doing minor tasks for him. The following year, ho was given more responsibility. As high school graduation neared, Plum was kind enough to write letters of recommendation for universities. Much to our delight, Robbie was accepted at Brown‎ ‎University. He worked at the hospital for a third year and gradually developed a love of the medical profession As university graduation approached Robbie applied to medical school, and Plum again wrote letters proving his ability and character. Eventually Robbie was admitted to New York‎ Medical ‎College. ‎ Some might call it fate, and I guess it was. But it shows you that big opportunities can come out of ordinary encounters—even something as ordinary as a taxi ride. ‎ ‎66. Tee reason why the author was unwilling to lose the ride was that he thought .‎ A. tee traffic light was still red. ‎ B. good luck could come to him C. he didn’t hear a policeman’s warning. ‎ D. the driver behind him was waiting patiently ‎67. What probably did Plum mean by saying I would not change jobs if it meant I had to take a cut of a hundred a week. ‎ A. Plum was very satisfied with his present job. ‎ B. Plum thought taxi driver was a poor job, and the author should quit his job. ‎ C. Plum believed that changing jobs meant the rise of his salary. ‎ D. Plum hoped that he would change his job if his salary were cut down. ‎ ‎68. What led the author to decide to turn to Plum for help?‎ A. The sunny morning left him in a good mood. ‎ B. The author had no ability to give his own son a summer job. ‎ C. Ho had always received good advice from the passengers. ‎ D. The pleasant feeling he developed when talking with Plum. ‎ ‎69. From the story, we learn that Plum was .‎ A. helpful and responsible B. friendly and distinguished C. kind-hearted and outgoing D. good-tempered and grateful ‎70. Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?‎ A. Actions Speak Louder than Words. ‎ B. Fate Favors the Minds That Are Prepared. ‎ C. Small Opportunities Make a Big Difference. ‎ D. Good Communication Skills Are Half Done. ‎ 第II卷 非选择题(三部分, 共35分)‎ 第四部分: 任务型阅读(共10小題;毎小題1分, 满分10分)‎ ‎ 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。‎ ‎ 注意：每个空格只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应的横线上。‎ As technologies are being developed, and are then quickly replaced by as yet unimaginable new ones, humans will need to become increasingly adaptable to society with lifelong learning. In ‎ this digital age, the need for children to learn and memorize facts is reduced. It is being replaced by the need t learn how to sieve(筛选) and gain information for any important aspect of “truth?”. ‎ Today’s pre-schoolers will enter the workforce around 2035. Although we cannot forecast exactly what their world will be like then, we do know that children and adults will continue to need the basics of the 3Rs (reading, writing, and maths), They will also need greater abilities to learn how to learn, and to possess problem-solving, critical thinking skills, and to be adaptable in the face of rapid change. ‎ Most discussions about “21st -century skills” stress the need for schools to focus on so-called “soft” skills and character traits(such as creative thinking and curiosity) in addition to cognitive(认知的) skills(such as problem-solving and critical analysis). It’s interesting that early childhood education already includes a strong focus on these so-called “soft” skills. Early years learning has a stronger focus on whole child development than school education. ‎ Future learners will benefit a lot from an excellent start in early learning if they are to deal with challenges. It is important that early education curricula focus on the process and the outcome of both soft and hard skills to create the most competent learners. ‎ We should also realize the family also plays an important role in enriching young children’s development. Any early childhood education and care system that ignores this reality will not be able to fulfill children’s potential. Evidence suggests support from parents, delivered through early childhood education has more impact. Indeed, a clearer understanding of how others have handled and adapted to change in the recent past will help prepare children to deal with the challenges and changes they will face. ‎ Perhaps it is time to construct a new curriculum and to create a new early childhood education and care system that includes a workforce which is fit for purpose, well-rewarded and well-educated. Such a system may truly provide the learning process young children deserve. They and all their fellow citizens will need to sustain(维持) the system and to face the challenges thrown at them by the bravo now world we have entered. ‎ ‎ ‎ Prepare children for their future Introduction l With the fast development of technologies, lifelong learning serves an important role in people’s 71 to society. ‎ l The digital age has witnessed the 72 in the need for children to learn and memorize facts. ‎ l Sieving and gaining information for truth is especially important nowadays. ‎ ‎73 in the future The basics of 3Rs will still be necessary in the future but people should develop greater abilities in some other aspects.‎ Early learning l Most discussions about “21st-century skills” 74 soft skills and character traits, as well as cognitive skills. ‎ l ‎75 children’s soft skills have been paid close attention to in early childhood education. ‎ l An excellent start in early learning can be 76 for future learners to handle challenges. ‎ l Early education curricula should give focus on the process and outcome of both soft and hard skills. ‎ ‎77 education l We should be 78 that family education also helps enrich young children’s development. ‎ l ‎79 gained from parents will be of great help in making children ready for future challenges and changes. ‎ Conclusion Together with a new curriculum, a high quality 80 should be built for a new early childhood education and care system. ‎ 第五部分 单词拼写(共10小题；每小题 0.5分，满分5分)‎ 根据所给中文或首字母写出相应单词的正确形式，每空一词。‎ ‎81.

The son, well dressed, waves proudly in the middle while the father behind bends forward to hold the jacket and the mother in front rolls out the carpet, sweating. ‎ It shows a common phenomenon nowadays that children are the focus of families, shouldering the hope of their parents. Parents arrange everything for their children and spare no effort to pave the way for their success. As a consequence, children become so reliant on their parents that they have no independent thought or creative ideas. ‎ Such a situation is of great concern. In my opinion, overprotection and too much care are extremely bad for children’s development. Instead of doing everything for them, parents should encourage their children to overcome difficulties and inspire them to develop by themselves. Only in this way can they grow up to be independent and become truly successful. ‎
