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 eight­year­old niece Alisha, are on a road trip to Yosemite. Ed wants Subway, I want In­N­Out Burger, Doris wants Sonic. In the end, we compromise on McDonald's, where Alisha will get an action figure.
It's a three­hour 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 high­tech ones on planes.
We get back on the road. Ed is driving now. When all the tabloids (小报) have been read, the travel has grown tedious and anyone under age 12 asks “Are we there yet？” at ever­shortening 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 (说不出话) 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 (念旧地) 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(细想)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.
本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者的经历，说明了我们不应该沉浸在幻想和过去，应该活在当下。
8．What does the author think of daydreaming?
A．It's the favorite for many kids.

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 chicken­and­egg 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 feel­good 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 “self­oriented” 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.
本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨的是做志愿工作与健康之间的关系，研究人员经过调查发现经常参加志愿工作的人无论是身体上还是精神上都会更加健康，做志愿工作与健康之间有着紧密的联系。
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：推理判断题。根据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.可知研究人员发现经常做志愿工作的人在精神健康方面得分最高，说明经常做志愿工作的人更健康。故C项正确。
13．Why does the author mention the chicken­and­egg theory?
A．To introduce a world­famous 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：推理判断题。根据第三段第二句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.可知研究人员做了一些调整，最终的结果还是证明精神健康来自志愿工作。在第三段里作者提出the chicken­and­egg theory目的是证明先做志愿工作，然后才变得更加健康。故B项正确。
14.What may be one of the “self­oriented” 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：推理判断题。根据文章第五段第三句People who volunteered for ‘self­oriented’ 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可知自我导向的志愿理由是被迫地去做一些工作或学习或者是努力摆脱麻烦，并不是发自内心自愿的。故C项正确。
15．What is the text mainly about?
A．A chicken­and­egg 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：主旨大意题。本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨的是做志愿工作与健康之间的关系，研究人员经过调查发现经常参加志愿工作的人无论是身体上还是精神上都会更加健康，做志愿工作与健康之间有着紧密的联系。D项与文章中心思想一致。故选择D项。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
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 high­tech instruments. We'll be in a virtual (虚拟的) 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”．
本文是一篇说明文。当今随处可见戴着耳机的人们，他们沉浸在自己的世界里，与外界隔绝。戴耳机有很多好处，可以省去很多打扰和麻烦。科技改变了人们的生活习惯，本来是为了使生活更美好，但人们似乎在逐渐成为它们的奴隶。
1．G　解析：根据前一句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，人们戴着耳机，沉浸在自己的世界里，有时甚至意识不到外界发生的事情，空格后一句提到“外界环境是被关闭的”，G项They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal “digital noise reduction systems”．(他们用他们自己的“数码降噪系统”在各自的空间活动)承上启下。故选G项。
2．D　解析：根据后文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，作者认为在自己的世界中生活是很不错的，戴着耳机对于别人来说是一个信号，告诉他们现在自己不想讲话。What's even better表明空格处与后一句为并列关系，都说明戴耳机的好处。D项I don't have to deal with the noise from the environment.(我无须应对外界的噪音)符合语境。故选D项。
3．F　解析：根据前文At this precise moment, the slightest disturbance would break your concentration.可知，就在此时此刻，一点小小的干扰都会使你注意力不集中。再根据后一句Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away！” signal.可知，你耳朵上的耳机会给周围的人一种“走开，请勿打扰”的暗示。空格处与后一句为并列关系，说明耳机在不能被打扰时所起的作用。F项Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions.(用耳机听音乐就是一个很好的忽视这些打扰的方法)符合上下文文意。故选F项。
4．C　解析：根据后一句It's probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family.可知，这可能是成长阶段的一部分，此时他们只想忽略他们的整个家庭。所以这一段主要讲青少年在家里戴耳机的原因。C项In the home situation, teenagers love these wires.(青少年喜欢在家里使用耳机)符合本段文意。故选C项。
5．A　解析：根据后一句And they are changing our social habits along the way.可知，它们也在改变着我们的社交习惯，And提示空格处与后一句为并列关系，且话题一致。A项Our instruments are changing quickly.(我们的设备在快速变化)符合文意。故选A项。
第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分30分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
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 (钟爱) 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 home­like 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 rock­climbing 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.
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者把Yosemite National Park当成了自己的家，当作者看见里面有大量的垃圾的时候，开始是自己捡垃圾后来是组织大家捡垃圾。作者明白了改变事情的方法是动手去做，而不是抱怨。
1．A.distant B．hard
C．loose D．huge
答案：D
解析：考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在出去的路上，我让他们等着，我跑到了EL Capitan——一块3300英尺高的巨石那里。A.distant遥远的；B.hard坚硬的；C.loose宽松的；D.huge巨大的。根据rock后面的数据3,300 feet以及下一句话中的形容词giant“巨大的，特大的”可知，此处应选择huge，说明这块石头巨大。故选D。
2．A.climbing B．painting

本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，大学生在听课时对座位的选择与其表现之间存在某种联系。这一发现有助于老师帮助不同的学生群体，从而提高学生的学习成绩。
1．understanding
解析：考查动名词。句意：讲座是高等教育的重要组成部分，了解学生在大讲堂环境中如何互动和学习是成功学习的关键。该空作句子主语，用动名词，所以填understanding。
2．students'
解析：考查名词的所有格。句意：英国谢菲尔德哈勒姆大学的研究人员调查了学生在演讲厅中选择特定座位的原因，并研究了座位位置与学生表现之间的关系。文中表示“学生的原因”，且为复数意义，用名词所有格，所以填students'。
3．to
解析：考查固定短语。句意：英国谢菲尔德哈勒姆大学的研究人员调查了学生在演讲厅中选择特定座位的原因，并研究了座位位置与学生表现之间的关系。be related to有关，该短语是固定短语，所以填to。
4．a
解析：考查冠词。句意：互动是学习的一个关键部分，当设计活动时，了解谁和学生互动有很大的好处。文中泛指“一个好处”，great的首字母发音是辅音，所以填不定冠词a。
5．preferred
解析：考查时态。根据__61__ others were more concerned with either attracting or avoiding the lecturer's attention可知这里在描述发生在过去的事情，用一般过去时，所以填preferred。
6．while
解析：考查连词。句意：许多学生喜欢和他们的朋友坐在一起，然而，另一些人则更希望引起或避开讲师的注意力。此处应用连词while强调两者之间的对比，所以填while。
7．that/which
解析：考查定语从句。__7__ allowed them to see and hear clearly是一个定语从句，先行词是seats，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，所以填that/which。
8．easily
解析：考查副词。句意：但其他人很容易就能选到让他们不那么沮丧的座位。该空修饰动词picked，用副词，所以填easily。
9．to_achieve
解析：考查固定短语。句意：坐在一起的友谊小组倾向于取得相似的成绩。tend to有……的倾向，该短语是固定短语，所以填to achieve。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为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(手推车) 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 3­year­old 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 work­related 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?
