In the classic TV production, one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs. Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night light, she takes one last look at ‎ the bedroom and says, “Dear night lights, protect my sleeping children.” As a mother, I know how much she loves her children.‎ ‎ It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting well after a short period of homesickness. For us, though, it’s another story. Like most parents, I love checking in on my children at night. But now she’s gone, and I find night times the hardest. I miss her most at night.‎ In my neighborhood, most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off. We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.‎ ‎ For us moms, seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And it’s not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didn’t get any easier. “You feel like something has been taken away from inside you” said one of them.‎ ‎ I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile, as I keep my cell phone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night, I like to think that messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.‎ ‎24. The writer was deeply impressed by the scene in Peter Pan because ________.‎ A. the scene was very exciting and interesting ‎ B. the scene showed a mother’s deep love for her children C. the scene taught her and her daughter a good lesson D. she watched the scene with her daughter ‎25. After her daughter went to college, the writer ________.‎ A. realized she hadn’t done enough for her daughter ‎ B. often cried as she missed her daughter so much C. didn’t get used to the change for a long time D. failed to have a good sleep every night ‎26. What is the underlined word “melancholy” in Paragraph 3 similar in meaning to?‎ A. Sadness. B. Anger. C. Excitement. D. Happiness.‎ ‎27. According to the last paragraph, why did the writer keep her cell phone close to her in bed?‎ A. To call her daughter any time.‎ B. To wait for her daughter’s calls.‎ C. To wait for her daughter’s messages.‎ D. To say good night to her daughter.‎ C Warm weather brought by El Nino has had mixed effects on animals in usually snowy places in North America, including New England, according to an Associated Press article.‎ Some animals seem to benefit from having a chance to gather more food before winter, and from expending less energy in daily survival mode. Others, like snowshoe hares, are put at center stage in predators’(捕食者) view when they lack snow for disguising their white fur — not a good thing for them, of course.‎ Black bears, on the other hand, have been keeping busy gathering nuts and apples, when they would normally have settled into their winter homes by now. Vermont and Massachusetts officials have asked residents to wait till snow falls to take out their bird feeders for the sake of safety, the article said.‎ ‎“We suggest waiting for 6 or more inches of snow that lasts before taking out your bird feeders, especially if you have been visited in the past by bears or if there are sightings of bears in your neighborhood,” Forrest Hammond, Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s bear biologist, said in the article. “Due to lack of snow and frozen ground, birds are able to seek food in fields and forests for their natural foods.”‎ Snow amounts can also determine how comfortable bears are and how quickly they consume their accumulated fat during hibernation(冬眠), noted Hammond in the article. This is because snow covers and traps them in their winter homes, and also hides them from predators.‎ ‎28. What may upset snowshoe hares because of El Nino?‎ A. Their being caught more easily. B. Their failing to gather more food.‎ C. Their consuming more energy. D. Their losing sight of their enemies.‎ ‎29. Why did the officials ask people to keep bird feeders until snow falls?‎ A. They many disturb bears. B. There’s no need to do so.‎ C. To avoid attracting bears. D. For the safety of bears.‎ ‎30. What do the bear biologist’s words imply?‎ A. Warm weather benefits birds in winter. B. Bears are common nowadays.‎ C. Bears live mainly on birds in winter. D. A heavy snow is on the way.‎ ‎31. Which of the following is the proper title for the passage?‎ A. Warm Weather Helps Animals Survive B. Snow Amounts Determine Animals’ Winter Life C. Measures Should Be Taken To Protect Wildlife D. Lack of Snow Affects North American Animals D Blind tasting is a very strange activity. Contrary to what many imagine, it has nothing to do with blindfolds. It involves tasting a wine without seeing the label and it can deliver shocking surprises. I tasted seven champagnes(香槟) blind with a group of professionals recently. There was a shock when they discovered the wine most of them preferred carried a label they regarded as their least favorite. That sort of result is especially common with champagne, the most image-driven rather than quality-driven wine of all. But it happens all the time when wine is tasted blind.        ‎ Because I’m interested in how wines really taste instead of how I think they should, I taste wine blind as often as I can, especially when assessing similar young wines. But blind tasting when you know absolutely nothing about the wine in front of you is something completely different. The most difficult Master of Wine exams include three sessions during which you have a dozen glasses in front of you and nothing more helpful than a printed exam paper asking you to identify (鉴定) each wine as closely as possible, and assess its quality.        ‎ Now that the MW is behind me, I taste wine completely blind only very rarely, and never in public. So my blind tastings these days are round the dinner table with good friends and once a year when I act as a judge, with Hugh Johnson, in the Oxford v Cambridge wine-tasting competition. This is the most extraordinary match, always held before the Boat Race but taken just as seriously nowadays. This year’s taste took place at the end of last month, as usual in the Oxford and Cambridge Club on Pall Mall in London. ‎ ‎32. Which of the following is true about Blind tasting?‎ A. Blind tasting is the professional way to identify a wine.‎ B. Blind tasting usually has the right result.‎ C. Blind tasting means tasting a wine with one’s eyes covered.‎ D. Blind tasting is tasting a wine without seeing the label.‎ ‎33. Why did the professionals get shocked at the result of their blind tasting?‎ A. They got all the results correctly.  ‎ B. The writer made no mistakes.‎ C. They didn’t recognize their favorite at all.  ‎ D. Champagnes can not be tasted blind.‎ ‎34. Which of the following interests the writer most?‎ A. Assessing young wines.             B. Master of Wine exams.‎ C. Tasting wine blind in public.             D. Oxford v Cambridge wine-tasting competition.‎ ‎35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. The Boat Race is taken more seriously than the wine race.‎ B. The Oxford v Cambridge wine-tasting competition is held annually.‎ C. I didn’t act as a judge last year.‎ D. Pall Mall is chosen as the competition place for the first time.  ‎ ‎ ‎ 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。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ It’s such a common event that you probably never asked yourself why you sleep. ___36___. In fact, for sleep researchers, it’s one of the biggest unanswered questions in the field.‎ Stop and think about it for a second. Why should we sleep? ___37___ . But we sleep every night, even when we have had plenty of rest. There are, no doubt, several different answers to this question, but let’s just consider one general purpose of sleep: ___38___. Human beings are creatures that are normally active during daylight hours, when our senses functions most effectively. ___39___. We can’t see objects well, our ‎ color vision is entirely lost, and we don’t have the smelling or hearing sharpness of other animals. So it actually does make sense to have us stay where we are during the dangerous period when night-waking animals are walking here and there. And one sure way to make sure we don’t fall down everywhere and get lost or eaten is to have us not move for seven or eight hours, rising again only when the light is back and our survival chances are better.‎ ‎ It’s not the only reason we sleep. ___40___. Perhaps even the most important one.‎ A. Is it because we get tired?‎ B. Should that put human beings in a terrible situation?‎ C. But from a scientific point of view, this is far from an ordinary matter.‎ D. But in terms of evolution, it may have been one of the first reasons.‎ E. Furthermore, if you were designing an animal, would you have it come into long periods of unconsciousness every twenty-four hours?‎ F. Sleep as a survival approach.‎ G. At night, humans do rather poorly.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分；满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I had just started my second year studying at Cambridge University when I was faced with the news I had never expected.

It was really a   52   to persuade them to agree. Treatment began and I was up and down from Cambridge to London every other week. It made me feel  53  , but to a much lesser degree than I had expected. I was   54  to read, eat and socialize exactly as I used to. I slept a lot and rested a lot, but I also worked hard at my studies. It gave me focus, and it also gave me purpose. Completing my   55   at the end of term felt like a great personal victory.
