Text 10
Experts are warning that the “El Nino” weather will probably return this summer.El Nino, which means “boy”in Spanish，happens every five to ten years.It is caused by temperatures that are hotter than normal in the Pacific Ocean.This often causes a lot of floods in some areas, like California.In other places, like Indonesia, it means there will be very little rain.Many countries that sell food to other countries may have so little rain that they can't grow enough.In the early 1980s，farmers in America were hurt because they lost most of their land in floods.Australia, on the other hand, had many very large fires across the country.In 1998，a very strong El Nino set records around the world for high temperatures.Some people say this year's weather might be just as bad.Food prices are likely to go up because of the damage to crops.

A family is a collection of people who share the same genes but cannot agree on a place to pull over for lunch. Ed and I, plus his parents and sister Doris and eight-year-old niece Alisha, are on a road trip to Yosemite. Ed wants Subway, I want In-N-Out Burger, Doris wants Sonic. In the end, we compromise on McDonald's, where Alisha will get an action figure.
It's a three-hour drive to Yosemite, but we're taking a little longer, as we're working in a tour of Highway 80's public restrooms. As the saying goes, “Not one bladder (膀胱) empties but another fills.” Many of these restrooms belong to gas stations. I prefer them to the high-tech ones on planes.
We get back on the road. Ed is driving now. When all the tabloids (小報) have been read, the travel has grown tedious and anyone under age 12 asks “Are we there yet？” at ever-shortening internals. Just outside Manteca, California, we stop for coffee. At a Starbucks checkout, Ed buys a CD of Joni Mitchell's favorite musical picks. The hope is that it will have a calming effect.
As we pull back onto the highway, it starts to pour. Then something amazing happens. As we climb the mountain, the rain turns to snow. The pines are spotted with white. We're struck dumb (說不出話) by the scene outside. For a solid 15 minutes, everyone forgets about their bladder, their blood sugar and the temperature. Alisha has never seen snow, so we pull over to make snowmen and catch snowflakes on our tongues. Then Ed realizes we need tire chains, and we have to turn back and drive 30 miles to Oakhurst. “Good，” says Doris. “There was a very nice restroom there.”

C
I fondly remember road trips as a child, sitting in the sunny backseat of my mom's car, daydreaming about other worlds and fantastic adventures. As I've grown older, my daydreams have become increasingly occupied less with fantasy but more with the reality of my past and future. Nearly everyone daydreams about their future and reflects nostalgically (念舊地) or negatively on moments of the past. These moments can provide inspiration, but if you spend too much time daydreaming in this fashion, you may be reducing your success in the present.
If you've ever planned a vacation, you're familiar with the impatient days tapping at your desk, dreaming of the lazy, relaxing days to come. Unfortunately, sometimes you end up comparing the real vacation to your imagined one, and it doesn't live up to the standard. Reflecting nostalgically on the past can also prevent present enjoyment. It is equally fun to reflect on past achievements or fun events, but it's possible to be so consumed with happy memories that you miss opportunities to create more.
We've all made mistakes that we're ashamed of; reflecting on them is an important step in correcting those mistakes and becoming a better person. But dwelling(細想)too long on your past can also be negative. If you dwell too long on a past mistake, you can begin to equate(使等同)yourself with your past and feel farther away from the person you want to be. Train your brain to think quickly about the past and future, and take only the information and inspiration that you need in order to be the best person you can without resting on your glory moments or your mistakes.
If your identity is not dependent on the past or future, every experience is new and every day is a blank page for you to write. A fun mental exercise is to always tell yourself that you're experiencing things for the first time. So take advantage of each moment you're given.
本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。文章通過作者的經(jīng)歷，說明了我們不應該沉浸在幻想和過去，應該活在當下。

A recent study surveyed 5,000 British families about their experiences with volunteering and their mental health. Participants completed the same survey every two years from 1996 to 2008.
About 20 percent of the survey participants reported doing regular unpaid work. Researchers found that these volunteers also scored highest on their mental health scores. The two were linked so directly that the more a person volunteered, the happier he was.
One could argue a chicken-and-egg theory: happier people are more likely to have the time, money, energy and resources to give back to others. But even when researchers adjusted for education, social class and total health, the link was there, suggesting that the mental increase came from volunteering and not the other way around.
According to Dr Stephen G. Post, the author of The Hidden Gifts of Helping, when you help others, your brain releases feel-good chemicals, which can help cells repair themselves and grow. And this translates to better health.
So volunteering can help improve both your physical and mental health—on one condition. You have to mean it. People who volunteered for “self-oriented” reasons, either because they were forced to do so for work or school or because they were trying to get away from problems in their lives, had a mortality (死亡率) risk that was similar to those who didn't volunteer at all. It was only when people were volunteering out of a true sense of sympathy that they saw any health benefits.
So whether it's arranging books at the library or walking dogs at the animal shelter, find a cause that's important to you and give it a try. Volunteering is a good way to develop a sense of connection that not only helps your community, but may also be good for you.
本文是一篇說明文。主要探討的是做志愿工作與健康之間的關(guān)系，研究人員經(jīng)過調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)經(jīng)常參加志愿工作的人無論是身體上還是精神上都會更加健康，做志愿工作與健康之間有著緊密的聯(lián)系。
12．Who are healthier according to the study?
A．People who are happier.
B．People who are good at taking exams.
C．People that work as volunteers regularly.
D．People that make a large amount of money.
答案：C
解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一句和第二句About 20 percent of the survey participants reported doing regular unpaid work. Researchers found that these volunteers also scored highest on their mental health scores.可知研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)經(jīng)常做志愿工作的人在精神健康方面得分最高，說明經(jīng)常做志愿工作的人更健康。故C項正確。
13．Why does the author mention the chicken-and-egg theory?
A．To introduce a world-famous theory.
B．To point out that volunteering came first.
C．To prove happy ones would like to help others.
D．To tell us that the cause and the effect are mixed.
答案：B
解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第二句But even when researchers adjusted for education, social class and total health, the link was there, suggesting that the mental increase came from volunteering and not the other way around.可知研究人員做了一些調(diào)整，最終的結(jié)果還是證明精神健康來自志愿工作。在第三段里作者提出the chicken-and-egg theory目的是證明先做志愿工作，然后才變得更加健康。故B項正確。
14.What may be one of the “self-oriented” reasons?
A．You try your best to solve others' problems.
B．You are filled with pity for the foster kids.
C．You have the duty to look after the old.
D．You're always willing to help others.
答案：C
解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第五段第三句People who volunteered for ‘self-oriented’ reasons, either because they were forced to do so for work or school or because they were trying to get away from problems in their lives可知自我導向的志愿理由是被迫地去做一些工作或?qū)W習或者是努力擺脫麻煩，并不是發(fā)自內(nèi)心自愿的。故C項正確。
15．What is the text mainly about?
A．A chicken-and-egg theory.
B．Happiness has a lot to do with health.
C．A sense of connection is important to us.
D．Volunteering willingly is good for health.
答案：D
解析：主旨大意題。本文是一篇說明文，主要探討的是做志愿工作與健康之間的關(guān)系，研究人員經(jīng)過調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)經(jīng)常參加志愿工作的人無論是身體上還是精神上都會更加健康，做志愿工作與健康之間有著緊密的聯(lián)系。D項與文章中心思想一致。故選擇D項。
第二節(jié)(共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分)
閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what's happening around them. __1__ Outside life is shut out. So are you one of “them”？
For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. __2__ What's even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says, “I'm not available for chatting at the moment！”
Suppose, you're at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough, but a colleague suddenly turns up. At this precise moment, the slightest disturbance would break your concentration. __3__ Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away！” signal.
__4__ It's probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework, they can just turn up the volume on their MP3 player, smile, and say “Yes, Mum.” Problem solved.
Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears—but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instruments. We'll be in a virtual (虛擬的) world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like. In this world, we will all be permanently plugged in. __5__ And they are changing our social habits along the way.
In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It's so strange—suddenly, I don't feel like wearing my earphones anymore.
A．Our instruments are changing quickly.
B．I also have wires hanging from my ears.
C．In the home situation, teenagers love these wires.
D．I don't have to deal with the noise from the environment.
E．After all, I am listening to my favorite music and would rather not be disturbed.
F．Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions.
G．They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal “digital noise reduction systems”．
本文是一篇說明文。當今隨處可見戴著耳機的人們，他們沉浸在自己的世界里，與外界隔絕。戴耳機有很多好處，可以省去很多打擾和麻煩。科技改變了人們的生活習慣，本來是為了使生活更美好，但人們似乎在逐漸成為它們的奴隸。
1．G　解析：根據(jù)前一句They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what's happening around them.以及后一句Outside life is shut out.可知，人們戴著耳機，沉浸在自己的世界里，有時甚至意識不到外界發(fā)生的事情，空格后一句提到“外界環(huán)境是被關(guān)閉的”，G項They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal “digital noise reduction systems”．(他們用他們自己的“數(shù)碼降噪系統(tǒng)”在各自的空間活動)承上啟下。故選G項。
2．D　解析：根據(jù)后文What's even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says, “I'm not available for chatting at the moment！”可知，作者認為在自己的世界中生活是很不錯的，戴著耳機對于別人來說是一個信號，告訴他們現(xiàn)在自己不想講話。What's even better表明空格處與后一句為并列關(guān)系，都說明戴耳機的好處。D項I don't have to deal with the noise from the environment.(我無須應對外界的噪音)符合語境。故選D項。
3．F　解析：根據(jù)前文At this precise moment, the slightest disturbance would break your concentration.可知，就在此時此刻，一點小小的干擾都會使你注意力不集中。再根據(jù)后一句Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away！” signal.可知，你耳朵上的耳機會給周圍的人一種“走開，請勿打擾”的暗示?？崭裉幣c后一句為并列關(guān)系，說明耳機在不能被打擾時所起的作用。F項Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions.(用耳機聽音樂就是一個很好的忽視這些打擾的方法)符合上下文文意。故選F項。
4．C　解析：根據(jù)后一句It's probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family.可知，這可能是成長階段的一部分，此時他們只想忽略他們的整個家庭。所以這一段主要講青少年在家里戴耳機的原因。C項In the home situation, teenagers love these wires.(青少年喜歡在家里使用耳機)符合本段文意。故選C項。
5．A　解析：根據(jù)后一句And they are changing our social habits along the way.可知，它們也在改變著我們的社交習慣，And提示空格處與后一句為并列關(guān)系，且話題一致。A項Our instruments are changing quickly.(我們的設(shè)備在快速變化)符合文意。故選A項。
第三部分：語言運用(共兩節(jié)，滿分30分)
第一節(jié)(共15小題；每小題1分，滿分15分)
閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。
I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13. My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to EL Capitan, a __1__ rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew immediately I wanted to climb it. That has been my life's passion (鐘愛) ever since—__2__ the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. I've long made Yosemite my _3__.
About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of __4__， like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It's beyond me why visitors started respecting the place less and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way. I tried _5__ trash (垃圾) myself, but the job was too big. I would _6__ an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so _7__ it that I decided something had to _8__.
As a rock-climbing guide, I knew _9__ about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a __10__. On that day, more than 300 people _11__. Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was _12__ how much we were able to accomplish. I couldn't believe the _13__ we made—the park looked clean!
I often hear people _14__ about their surroundings.I would say the only way to change things is by _15__ rather than complaining. We need to teach by example.
本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者把Yosemite National Park當成了自己的家，當作者看見里面有大量的垃圾的時候，開始是自己撿垃圾后來是組織大家撿垃圾。作者明白了改變事情的方法是動手去做，而不是抱怨。

第二節(jié)(共10小題；每小題1.5分，滿分15分)
閱讀下面短文，在空白處填入1個適當?shù)膯卧~或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。
Choice of seating in the lecture hall can affect a college student's performance, a study suggests.
Lectures are a main part of higher education, and __1__ (understand) how students interact and learn within the lecture theatre environment is central to successful learning. Researchers from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK examined __2__ (student) reasons for choosing particular seats in a lecture hall, and investigated how seating positions are related __3__ students' performance.
“Interaction is a key part of learning and knowing who the students are interacting with can be __4__ great benefit when designing activities，” said David P．Smith of Sheffield Hallam University.
Many students __5__ (prefer) being able to sit with their friends，__6__ others were more concerned with either attracting or avoiding the lecturer's attention. Some students chose seats __7__ allowed them to see and hear clearly. But others __8__ (easy) picked seats that made them feel less depressed, they said.
Friendship groups who sat together tended __9__ (achieve) similar grades, and students who sat alone at the edges were likely to do worse than average.
Lecturers may be able to use these findings to offer assistance to __10__ (anxiety) students，and to support the learning of all students by encouraging interactions between the different groups.
本文是一篇說明文。研究表明，大學生在聽課時對座位的選擇與其表現(xiàn)之間存在某種聯(lián)系。這一發(fā)現(xiàn)有助于老師幫助不同的學生群體，從而提高學生的學習成績。
1．understanding
解析：考查動名詞。句意：講座是高等教育的重要組成部分，了解學生在大講堂環(huán)境中如何互動和學習是成功學習的關(guān)鍵。該空作句子主語，用動名詞，所以填understanding。
2．students'
解析：考查名詞的所有格。句意：英國謝菲爾德哈勒姆大學的研究人員調(diào)查了學生在演講廳中選擇特定座位的原因，并研究了座位位置與學生表現(xiàn)之間的關(guān)系。文中表示“學生的原因”，且為復數(shù)意義，用名詞所有格，所以填students'。
3．to
解析：考查固定短語。句意：英國謝菲爾德哈勒姆大學的研究人員調(diào)查了學生在演講廳中選擇特定座位的原因，并研究了座位位置與學生表現(xiàn)之間的關(guān)系。be related to有關(guān)，該短語是固定短語，所以填to。
4．a(chǎn)
解析：考查冠詞。句意：互動是學習的一個關(guān)鍵部分，當設(shè)計活動時，了解誰和學生互動有很大的好處。文中泛指“一個好處”，great的首字母發(fā)音是輔音，所以填不定冠詞a。
5．preferred
解析：考查時態(tài)。根據(jù)__61__ others were more concerned with either attracting or avoiding the lecturer's attention可知這里在描述發(fā)生在過去的事情，用一般過去時，所以填preferred。
6．while
解析：考查連詞。句意：許多學生喜歡和他們的朋友坐在一起，然而，另一些人則更希望引起或避開講師的注意力。此處應用連詞while強調(diào)兩者之間的對比，所以填while。
7．that/which
解析：考查定語從句。__7__ allowed them to see and hear clearly是一個定語從句，先行詞是seats，關(guān)系詞在從句中作主語，指物，所以填that/which。
8．easily
解析：考查副詞。句意：但其他人很容易就能選到讓他們不那么沮喪的座位。該空修飾動詞picked，用副詞，所以填easily。
9．to_achieve
解析：考查固定短語。句意：坐在一起的友誼小組傾向于取得相似的成績。tend to有……的傾向，該短語是固定短語，所以填to achieve。
10．a(chǎn)nxious
解析：考查形容詞。句意：講師可以使用這些發(fā)現(xiàn)為焦慮的學生提供幫助。該空修飾名詞students，用形容詞，所以填anxious。

第二節(jié)(滿分25分)
閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。續(xù)寫的詞數(shù)應為150左右。
The most delicious memories seem to happen during the holidays. And like a squirrel preparing for winter, I put them away to enjoy slowly during the long winter months. Sometimes, I enjoy them for years.
Among them are sweetest recollections: my little girls at the church play and the moment they got their first angel wings; a pink dolly stroller(手推車) wheeled into the bedroom with a tiny voice declaring, “Look what Santa Claus brought me！”； or New Year's snowmen wearing bright scarves borrowed from a grandma's fragrant drawer.
But there is one memory that is a little bittersweet—sort of like 80% dark chocolate, but still good for you.
This story brings to mind a colorful candy dish and a very little boy. The occasion was somewhere between Christmas and New Year when a few candies in a dish remained behind, a bright spot in dull winter gray.
Wrapped in December's chill, my then 3-year-old grandson, Justin, and I had dashed from the warmth of my parked car into the building where I planned to take care of a few work-related tasks.
A smiling secretary greeted us as we brushed the snowflakes and rubbed our hands to chase away the cold. Then with my grandchild close to my side, I busied myself, finishing the items of business that had brought us there. But while his hand remained in mine, his eyes fell on the candy dish sitting nearby.
As we turned to leave, the thoughtful and very observant woman behind the desk asked the question all children wait to hear.
“Honey，” the kindly woman said, peering over her glasses at Justin. “Would you like a candy bar？” she asked, her hand pushing the dish close for an easier reach.
The boy looked up questioningly, his eyes meeting mine, permission hanging in the air. A slight nod from me and then a hurried beeline to the candy dish followed. One candy bar was already in his hand.
答案
Paragraph 1：
“Justin！” I said from the doorway. By this time his pudgy hands had grabbed one—and only one—and he made his way back to me. My voice was somewhat serious as I realized manners had been forgotten. “What do you say？” Hearing this, the little boy turned on his heel, promptly returning to the candy dish. “Get grandma one, too！” I laughed. The secretary laughed. And even little Justin innocently giggled at the fun we were having.
Paragraph 2：
In the humor of the moment, I felt something hard to swallow. There was a truth that lingered long after the strawberry candy taste had disappeared. What example had I set for this little one while often in my care? Was he learning more about “getting” and less about gratitude—that heartfelt “thank you”？ In the years since, I've always loved to remember that moment. But one gift I hope we all leave with our children is the importance of a grateful heart. Really, what could be sweeter?
