13、It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25.

21、分50分）第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。AIt all began with a stop at a red light.Kevin Salwen was driving his 14-year-old daughter, Hannah, back from a sleepover in 2006 . While waiting at a traffic light, they saw a black Mercedes Coupe on one side and a homeless man begging for

22、 food on the other.“Dad, if that man had a less nice car, that man there could have a meal.” Hannah protested. The light changed and they drove on, but Hannah was too young to be reasonable. She pestered （纠缠）her parents about inequity, insisting that she wanted to do something.“What do you want to d

23、o?” her mom responded. “Sell our house?”Warning! Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic(理想主义的) teenager. Hannah seized upon the idea of selling the luxurious family home and donating half the money to charity, while using the other half to buy a smaller replacement home.Eventually, thats wha

24、t the family did. The project crazy, impetuous （鲁莽的） and utterly inspiring is written down in detail in a book by father and daughter scheduled to be published next month: “The Power of Half.” Its a book that, frankly, Id be nervous about leaving around where my own teenage kids might find it. An im

25、pressionable child reads this, and the next thing you know your whole family is out on the street.At a time of great needs in Haiti and elsewhere, when so many Americans are trying to help Haitians by sending everything from text messages to shoes, the Salwens offer an example of a family that came

26、together to make a difference for themselves as much as the people they were trying to help. In a newspaper a week ago, it described evidence from brain scans that unselfishness lights up parts of the brain normally associated with more primary satisfaction. The Salwens experience confirms the selfi

27、sh pleasures of selflessness.Mr. Salwen and his wife, Joan, had always supposed that their kids would be better off in a bigger house. But after they downsized, there was much less space, so the family members spent more time around each other. A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a more fa

28、mily-friendly house.41. What does the underlined word “inequity” most probably mean in Paragraph 3?A. Unfairness. B. Satisfaction.C. Personal attitude. D. Reasonable statement.42. What does the underlined sentence “Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager.” means? _A. Never ignore an

29、idealistic childs words.B. Give an answer to the child if he or she is reasonable.C. Unless a child is realistic, never give an answer immediately.D. Dont respond to a childs demands without consideration.43. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The Salwens regretted selling their house.B. T

30、he Salwens intend to buy another big house.C. The family relationship of the Salwens is much closer.D. Small houses rather than big ones can bring happiness.44. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Mercedes Coupe is only an ordinary car which is quite cheap.B. Unself

31、ishness has nothing to do with peoples primary satisfaction.C. Hannah asked her parents to do something charitable and they sold their house.D. The writer decided to follow suit and s his house.45. The best title for the passage should be “_”. A. The Less, the Better B. An Expected SatisfactionC. So

32、mething We Can Live Without D. Somewhat Crazy but InspiringBFrom earliest times, the English, for instance, have believed in certain symbols and customs which could bring good fortune as well as ward off evil spirits. Old customs seldom die, so dont be surprised because some of these customs are sti

33、ll practiced daily in todays society. Below are symbols of luck from a popular culture magazine.u Old BootIn ancient days, old boots or shoes were said to hold the good spirit and courage of their owners. Therefore, it was a common belief that an old boot was a good luck charm. For instance, if a fi

34、sherman caught himself an old boot instead of fish, it is believed that at the end of the day he would be able to catch and take home a huge amount of fish. In north England, the wives of sailors would usually throw old boots or shoes at the departing(离开) ships to ensure their husbands safe journey.

35、 Old boots were also left on the roofs of old houses to drive off evil spirits. u WoodBack in pagan (异教徒) times, touching the tree was a sign of respect to the gods after a favor has been requested, or thanks to the gods for a request that had been fulfilled. Later, the British still held their beli

36、ef that wood is holy as Christ died on a wooden cross. Even now, people still have the habit of trying to touch or knock on wood after talking bad things about other people, and so on, so that the action will get rid of any bad luck during the day.u HorseshoeThe horseshoe is considered a lucky symbo

37、l in English customs. It is similar to the other symbols associated with good fortune in other cultures such as “U”. “U” shape is often said to be the symbol of fertility and also possesses power to drive away evil spirit. As it is made of iron and used for horses, horseshoes are also linked to stre

38、ngth and power. As a result, combining all these signs of good luck, the horseshoe is regarded as a powerful device to bring fortune and keep evil spirits away. It is usually nailed to the front door to protect the household from uninvited visitors like witches and evils. However, the horseshoe must

39、 be placed in a standing “U” position so that the good fortune will be held by the household. u Rabbits FootIn the old English custom, the hare (not rabbit) was said to have an evil eye, whose glance can only be countered by people who own a hares foot. In the old days, it was said that the warrior

40、Queen Boadicea of Norfolk, East Britain, brought a hare with her to ensure luck in battle against the Romans who had invaded her kingdom. This brought people to believe that the hare had magical powers. However, the pagan practice of worshiping the hare eventually stopped after most British began to

41、 believe in Christianity in the 6th century. Nevertheless, many British carried hares feet in their pocket or purse. Later, rabbits were introduced in Britain from the other European countries, and since rabbits can be caught more easily than hares, the rabbits foot replaced the hares foot as a luck

42、y charm.u CoinCoins, especially gold coins, were said to bring good fortune to the person who possessed them. Gold, like in any other culture, was always a symbol of wealth. In the past, lucky gold coins were turned into rings to be worn as a cure for many types of illness. Sometimes, brides put the

43、m in a shoe to ensure a good married life. The English also dropped coins into wells to make a wish in the hope that their dreams would come true. This is due to the fact that people at that time believed there were good spirits who lived in the wells, fountains or springs. 46. Which symbol of luck

44、is seen as a sign of strength and power?A. HorseshoeB. Old bootC. WoodD. Rabbits foot47. To get rid of bad luck after speaking ill of other people, the English are likely to _.A. drop gold coins into wellsB. carry hares feet in their pocketC. touch or knock on woodD. throw old boots at the sailing s

45、hip48. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Coins and old boots could be thrown to ensure a happy married life.B. Rabbits foot as well as wood is related to some religious belief.C. Both wood and coins could be touched to show thanks to the gods.D. Old boots and hors

46、eshoes should be put on the roof to drive away evils.49. What is the passage mainly about?A. The origin of five symbols of luck around the world.B. Some lost customs about good fortune in the English culture.C. The differences of five symbols of luck in the English culture.D. An introduction to some

47、 symbols of luck in the English culture.CA woman named Emily renewing her drivers license at the County Clerks office was asked by the woman recorder to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. What I mean is, explained the recorder, do you have a job, or are you just

48、a Of course I have a job, responded Emily. Im a mother.We dont list mother as an occupation . Housewife covers it, said the recorder emphatically.I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation, this time at our own Town Hall. The Clerk was obviously a career woman, c

49、onfident, efficient, and possessed of a high sounding title . “What is your occupation? she asked.What made me say it. I do not know . The words simply popped out. Im a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair, and look

50、ed up as though she had not heard right.I repeated the title slowly, emphasizing the most significant words. Then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire. Might I ask, said the clerk with new interest, just what you do in your field? Coolly,

51、without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesnt), in the laboratory and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Im working for my Masters (the whole damned family), and already have four credits (all daughte

52、rs). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?) and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.There was an increasing note

53、 of respect in the clerks voice as she completed the form, stood up, and personally showed me to the door. As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (依托) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants-aged 13, 7, and 3. Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model, (a 6- month- old

54、 baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.I felt proud! I had scored a beat on bureaucracy(官僚主义)! And I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and irreplaceable to mankind than just another mother.Motherhood . What a glorious career! Especially

55、 when theres a title on the door.50. What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder at the beginning of the passage?A. The recorder was impatient and rude. B. The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was.C. The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced.

56、D. Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by society. 51.

Because the author cared lit

57、tle about rewards. B. Because she admired the authors research work in the lab. C. Because she thought the author did admirable work. D. Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of. 53. What did the author think of the job as a mother of four?A. demanding and rewarding B. satisfying

58、 and interesting C. tiring and annoying D. disgusting and challenging54. What is the authors purpose of writing the passage?A. To show that how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it. B. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect. C. To show that the author had a

59、 grander job than Emily. D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work. DTom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a longhandled brush. He stopped by the fence in front of the house where he lived with his aunt Polly. He looked at it, and all joy left him. The fence was lo

60、ng and high. He put the brush into the whitewash and moved it along the top of the fence. He repeated the operation. He felt he could not continue and sat down.He knew that his friends would arrive soon with all kinds of interesting plans for the day.They would walk past him and laugh. They would ma

61、ke jokes about his having to work on a beautiful summer Saturday. The thought burned him like fire.He put his hand into his pockets and took out all that he owned. Perhaps he could find some way to pay someone to do the whitewashing for him. But there was nothing of value in his pocketsnothing that could buy even half an hour of freedom. So he put the bits of toys back into his pockets and gave up the idea.At this dark and hopeless moment, a wonderful idea came to him. It filled his mind with a great, bright light. Calmly he picked up the bru
