We always celebrated my Dad’s November birthday on
Thanksgiving Day, even after he entered a nursing home. As years went on, these
events took on a(n) 36 meaning -a traditional birthday party for Dad, and a personal 37 for all that he had done for me in
my life.
When we knew that it might be Dad’s 38 birthday, the whole family
decided to come together for a huge birthday celebration at the 39 home. It was a crowded party
with all of us sitting around him. Dad was a wonderful 40 , and here was a biggest audience
he’d ever had.
During a quiet moment, I announced that it was now
Dad’s turn to 41 stories from us. I wanted everyone
to tell Dad what we loved about him.
42 , we told stories from
our hearts, 43 Dad listened with wet, flashing
blue eyes. We 44 all kinds of lost memories - stories about when we were little, stories about when Dad
was young and stories that are shared as family 45 . Even the littlest grandchildren
couldn’t 46 to tell their grandfather why they
loved him. For a man who had been kind to so many people in his life, here was
our 47 to honor him.
A few months later, at Dad’s memorial service, we
fully realized what we had given Dad that night. Those were the stories people
normally tell at a 48 . They are told, then, full of tears,
with the hope that the departed will
49 hear the outpouring
of love. But we had given those loving 50 to Dad when he was 51 , told through laughter, accompanied by
hugs and joy. I’m sure the stories and memories 52 over in his mind during his last
months and days.
Words do 53 , and they are enough. We need to say
them, to speak them 54 to the ones we love, for everyone else
to hear. That’s the way to
55 love, and our
chance to honor a person in life.

第三部分 阅读理解 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
As you dash outdoors in the middle of winter, you
might make it halfway down the block before realizing that your ears are
freezing because you forgot your hat.
Now, scientists have shown that even though you’ve had
an apparent memory lapse (丧失),your brain never forgot what you should have done.
Memory works mainly by association. For example, as
you try to remember where you left your keys, you might recall you last had them
in the living room, which reminds you that there was an ad for soap on
television, which reminds you that you need soap, and so on. And then, as
you’re heading out the door to buy soap, you remember that your keys are on the
kitchen counter.
Your brain knew where the keys were all along, it just
took a round-about way to get there.
Now, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological
Studies are studying associative memory in monkeys to figure out just how this
complicated process works.
First, the researchers trained a group of monkeys to
remember arbitrary pairs of symbols.
The researchers showed the monkeys one symbol (cold
weather) and then gave them the choice of two other symbols, one of which (a
hat) would be associated with the first. A correct choice would earn them a sip
of their favorite juice.
Most of the monkeys performed the test perfectly, but
one kept making mistakes.
“We wondered what happened in the brain when the
monkeys made the wrong choice, although they apparently learned the right
pairing of symbols,” said study leader Thomas Albright.
Albright and his team observed signals from the nerve
cells in the monkey’s inferior temporal cortex (ITC), an area of its brain used
for visual pattern recognition and for storing this type of memory.
As the monkey was deciding which symbol to choose,
about a quarter of the activity in the ITC was due to the choice behavior.
Meanwhile, more than half of the activity was in a
different group of nerve cells, which scientists believe represent the monkey’s
memory of the correct symbol pairing, and surprisingly, these cells continued
to fire even when the monkey chose the wrong symbol.
“In this sense, the cells ‘knew’ more than the monkeys
let on in their behavior,” Albright said. “Thus, behavior may vary, but
knowledge endures.”
56. The example of the keys and soap is given to
explain the relationship between _________.
A. memory lapse and human brain B.
memory and association
C. memory and television ads
D.
memory and our daily life
57. Which of the following best explains the general
idea of the text?
A.
Your brain may forget something, but not always.
B. Activity is a round-about way to memory.
C. Your brain remembers what you forget.
D. Monkeys have better memory than us.
58. The underlined word “endures” may best be replaced
by ________.
A.
disappears
B.
increases C. improves D. remains

beard under a man’s lower lip), unibrow(two eyebrows joining together) and supersize - the fast food industry phrase for extra large meals.

installed in a computer to track a user’s activities)while biodiesel(生物柴油)and avian
influenza(禽流感)came from the
world of science.
America’s first dictionary -Noah Webster’s A Compendious Dictionary of the English

Steve, a twelve-year-old boy with alcoholic parents,
was about to be lost forever, by the U.S. education system. He had been
failing since first grade. Steve was a big boy, looking more like a teenager
than a twelve year old, yet, Steve went unnoticed... until Miss White.
Miss White was a smiling, young, beautiful redhead,
and Steve was in love! For the first time in his young life, he couldn’t take
his eyes off his teacher; yet, still he failed. He never did his homework, and
he was always in trouble with Miss White. His heart would break he was punished
for failing to turn in his homework! Still, he did not study.
In the middle of the first term of school, the entire
seventh grade was tested for basic skills. Steve hurried through his tests, and
continued to dream of other things.
His heart was in the woods, where he often escaped alone, trying to shut
out the sights, sounds and smells of his alcoholic home.
One day, Miss White’s impatient voice broke into his
daydreams.
“Steve!” he turned to look at her.
“Pay attention!”
Steve locked his eyes on Miss White with adolescent
adoration, as she began to go over the test results for the seventh grade.
“You all did pretty well,” she told the class, “except
for one boy, and it breaks my heart to tell you this, but...” She hesitated.
“...The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing
my class!”
She just stared at Steve, as the class turned around
for a good look. Steve dropped his eyes and carefully examined his fingertips.
After that, it was war!! Steve still wouldn’t do his
homework even as the punishments became more severe.
“Just try it! ONE WEEK!” He was unmoved.
“You’re smart enough! You’ll see a change!” Nothing
happened.
“Give yourself a chance! Don’ give up on your life!”
Nothing.
“Steve! Please! I care about you!”
Wow! Suddenly, Steve got it!! Someone cared about him?
Someone, totally perfect, CARED ABOUT HIM!
Steve went home from school, thoughtful, that
afternoon. He, quickly,
gathered up his camping things, this time including his schoolbooks.
Determined, he headed for the woods.
The following Monday he arrived at school on time, and
he waited for Miss White to enter the classroom. She walked in, all sparkle and
smiles! God, she was beautiful! He expected her smile to turn on him. It did
not.
Miss White, immediately, gave a quiz on the weekend
homework. Steve hurried through the test, and was the first to hand in his
paper. With a look of surprise, Miss White took his paper. Obviously puzzled,
she began to look it over. Steve walked back to his desk, his heart beating
within his chest. As he sat down, he couldn’t resist another look at the lovely
woman.
Miss White’s face was in total shock! She glanced up
at Steve, then down, then up. Suddenly, her face broke into a bright smile. The
smartest boy in the seventh grade had just passed his first test!
From that moment nothing was the same for Steve. Life
at home remained the same, but life still changed. He discovered that not only
could he learn, but he was good at it! And he continued this course throughout
his school life.
After high-school Steve entered the Navy, and he had a
successful military career. During
his Naval career, he inspired many young people, who without him, might not
have believed in themselves.
You see, it’s simple, really. A change took place
within the heart of one boy, all because of one teacher, who cared.
67. According to the passage, Miss White can NOT be
described as___________.
A. young and beautiful
B.
smiling but strict
C. charming and encouraging D. impatient but loving
68. How did Miss White’s expression change when she
got Steve’s paper?
A. satisfied ―shocked ―surprised ―puzzled
B. puzzled ―surprised ―shocked ―satisfied
C. surprised ―puzzled ―shocked ―satisfied
D. surprised ―shocked ―satisfied ―puzzled
69. Which of the following statements is NOT right
according to the passage?
A. Steve fell in love with Miss White at the first
sight of her.
B. Steve’s parents were so addicted to drinking that
they paid little attention to Steve’s life.
C. Steve would rather stay in the woods to keep
himself away from his home.
D. Having being punished many times, Steve determined to
work hard and passed his first test.

第Ⅱ卷 (两部分 共35分)
第四部分 任务型阅读 (共10小题;每小题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的空格处里填人最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格填1个单词。
I used to be the messiest person alive. Over the years, through watching
others and by trial and error, I have finally found ways to come up with plans,
organize them and follow through with them.
Make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan
happen. Make a list of all of the steps that need to be accomplished and think
about what needs to be done.
Detail everything thoroughly and read over it so you can start coming up
with some mental solutions of how to carry out your plans.
You should ensure that if for some reason way one doesn’t work, you have
way two and way three to lean back on. Therefore, different ways are needed at
hand. It’s just a matter of being organized. Chances are that there is always
more than one way of doing things, and chances are that if one of those ways
doesn’t work, one of the other ones will.
Committing yourself to finishing at least part if not all of your plan at
once is also necessary. It will show that you not only have initiative to get
things rolling, but that you are interested in the results obtained with making
the move to get everything done.
If you make a commitment to finish before a specific time, make sure that
you carry that out, and be sure to do everything in the way you said you would,
within the time-frame you set for yourself.
Don’t try to tackle more things all at a time. All that does is delay
your progress, distract you and make you lose your interest, motivation and
energy.
Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible.
You will only achieve this by sticking to the order of the plan and not
deviating or trying to do more at a time.
Last but not the least, you should never abandon things mid-project. It
will only annoy everyone around you including yourself. Unfinished plans are a
waste of time, energy and, in some cases, even money.
So, don’t be afraid of organization. The older we get, the more necessary
it becomes to have the skills necessary to follow through with confidence and
to be able to carry through plans in an organized and manageable way. It pays
to be organized, after all.
