B “There’s a mother in PICU (儿童重症监护病房) who wants to talk about a kit she received.” the nurse told me. “Something about it made her cry.” I’ve been a child-1ife specialist at the Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital since 2000. I help families understand diagnoses and treatment plans and manage the ups and downs that come with caring for a sick child. Tough talks with parents are part of the job, it still makes me feel nervous. The kits the nurse was talking about were something I had recently introduced to the hospital: Comfort Kits from Guideposts. They were supposed to make a child’s experience here easier, not upsetting. When I came across the kits at a conference, I fell in love with them. A treasure box of items designed not only to entertain kids, but to comfort and inspire them. There’s a coloring book, a stress ball, a CD of relaxing music, a hairy star named Sparkle, a journal and much more. I really believed these kits would help kids. I wished I hadn’t been mistaken. At the patient’s room in PICU I saw a little girl, sleeping soundly, surrounded by tubes and machines. My eyes met her mother’s. The kit was open on her lap and tears were running down her cheeks. “I’m Shannon. I manage the Child Life Department.” I said. “I’m sorry if the kit upset you. It’s a new item…” The mother shook her head. “This has been one of the worst days of my life. I felt so scared and alone. Then I was handed this box. I know it’s for my daughter, but it’s just the comfort I needed. I wanted to say thank you.” With that I knew Comfort Kits belonged here. We’ve been using them for almost three years now. Each child who’s admitted to the hospital receives one. Every day I see kids coloring, journaling, playing with Sparkle. But as this mom showed me Comfort Kits aren’t just for kids. The hope they bring, which can be in short supply in hospitals sometimes, is felt by the whole family. 24. The author introduced Comfort Kits to the hospital to_________. A. relax nurses B. cure kids of diseases C. comfort parents D. benefit sick kids 25. Why was the girl’s mother crying? A. She couldn’t wake her kid. B. She felt alone and scared. C. She was moved to tears. D. She worried about her kid’s illness. 26. Which of the following can replace the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. There may be lack of hope in hospitals. B. Kits are in great need in hospitals. C. Parents are often in low spirits in hospitals. D. Medical supplies are not enough in hospitals. 27. What’s the author’s attitude towards Comfort Kits? A. Disappointed. B. Excited. C. Nervous. D. Confident. C In English the sky is blue, and the grass is green. But in Vietnamese there is just one color category for both sky and grass: xanh. For decades cognitive (认知) scientists have pointed to such examples as evidence that language largely determines how we see color. But new research with four-to six-month-old babies indicates that long before we learn language, we see up to five basic categories of color — a finding that suggests a stronger biological element to perceive (感知) color than previously thought. The study, published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, tested the color-discrimination abilities of more than 170 British babies. Researchers at the University of Sussex in England measured how long babies spent staring at color swatches, a system known as looking time. First babies were showed one swatch repeatedly until their looking time decreased — a sign they had grown bored with it. Then the researchers showed them a different sample and noted their reaction. Longer looking times were explained to mean the babies considered the second sample to be a new color. Their increasing responses showed that they distinguished among five colors: red, green, blue, purple and yellow. The finding “suggests you come by nature to make color distinctions, but given your culture and language, certain distinctions may or may not be used.” explains lead author Alice Skelton, a doctoral student at Sussex. The study systematically explored babies’ color perception, showing how we perceive colors before we have the words to describe them, says Angela M. Brown, an experimental psychologist at the Ohio State University’s College of Optometry, who was not involved with the new research. The results add a new challenge to the long nature-versus-nurture(先天与后天) debate and the so-called SapirWhorf hypothesis (假设) — the idea that the way we see the world is shaped by language. In future work, Skelton and her colleagues are interested in testing babies from other cultures. “The way language and culture interact is a really interesting question,” she says. “We don’t yet know the exact systems, but we do know how we start off.” 28. What’s the finding of the new research? A. It clarifies what makes babies perceive colors. B. It proves human color recognition is inborn. C. It finds how many colors babies can perceive. D. It shows the color culture is shaped by language. 29. According to the new research, we can learn that_________. A. swatches affect babies in memory and attention B. longer looking times are based on the psychology C. researchers determine babies’ color perception D. babies can tell the differences of some colors 30. In Paragraph 5, the word “interact” probably means_________. A. experience B. introduce C. influence D. imagine 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Rainbow in the Baby’s World B. A Journey to the World of Colors C. A New Challenge: Language vs. Culture D. Different Babies, Different Color Perception D Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding. We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first. Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical (按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works. Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can — then let the unconscious take over. When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable. One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Then, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep. An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing. Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired. 32. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to　　　　　　. A. delay tasks B. work hard C. seek help D. accept failure 33. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue? A. Writing essays in strict order. B. Building up physical strength. C. Leaving out the toughest ideas. D. Dealing with the hardest task first. 34. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue? A. Before starting a difficult task. B. When all the solutions fail. C. If the job is rather boring. D. After finding a way out. 35. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us ____________ . A. ignore mental problems B. get some nice sleep C. gain complete relief D. find the right solution 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。

In the business of day-to-day life, we often forget to stop and be grateful for the present moment. 36 It has many mental and physical benefits. If you want to work on being more grateful, try shifting your focus throughout the day. Work on practicing mindfulness, which can help you appreciate the present moment, you should also find a balance, allowing yourself to feel grateful. Dependable. Choose someone who you are sure will show up for every scheduled workout or who will call you if they can’t make it. It is a drain (消耗) on your valuable energy especially before training to have to constantly remind your partner. 37 Mindfulness is also about paying attention to your breath. Breathing is a vital bodily function that we often do not notice throughout the day. Start making a conscious effort to focus on your own breathing. Breathing is a natural process that follows a certain rhythm. Therefore, when our minds wander and stressful thoughts occur, focusing on the breath can help us stay calm. 38 wa Find a comfortable place to sit. 39 Think of three or four phrases that sum up your core desires. For example, you might come up with something like, “May I be happy in my pursuits. May I have good health. May I be calm and patient throughout the day.” Say this prayer for yourself. 40 Direct it towards someone you are thankful for in your life. For example, “May my mother be happy in her pursuits. May my mother have good heath, etc.” A. Focus on the breath. B. Then, direct it outwards. C. As a result, we feel regretful later. D. However, being grateful is important. E. Find a number of things that can motivate you. F. Close your eyes and imagine your wish for your life. G. It can also allow us to return to the present moment and appreciate it. 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；

I haven’t been here since I was a child. I have a totally different memory of it. W: It’s fine. I think it’ll be great for the reunion if we clean it up a bit. Text 5 M: Every morning, I eat an egg at 7:00, brush my teeth at 7:05, leave my house at 7:15, and ride my bike to the subway. W: Do you have to do everything at the same time every day? Sounds like you need to relax… Text 6 M: The floor looks super clean. Did you call the cleaning company? W: Nope. My foot is broken. I stay at home. So I did it myself. M: With a broken foot? Was that a good idea? W: Don’t worry, Dave. M: You could have called Brenda. She would have done it for you. W: I’m not asking your little sister to clean my floors, Dave. Anyway, it wasn’t as hard as you think. I have been using a Roomba recently. M: Oh, that cleaning robot? I’m jealous, Sandra. I wanted one, but I didn’t have 500 extra dollars. W: I know. They’re so expensive. I got mine from my boss when I was Employee of the Year two years ago. Text 7 M: Where were you this morning, Julie? Mom and I were going to take you to school. W: Oh, thanks, Dad. I thought you saw my note. I took the bus early in the morning. M: An early bus? I thought you were a night person. W: We had band practice. We’re playing at the game next month, and I was excited. But now… M: Uh-oh. What happened? W: It’s the uniforms. I saw them, and now I’m sorry I ever started playing the flute. M: Ugly? I’m sure you’d look great in anything, Julie. W: It’s not that. They’re made out of wool. Wool! In August! M: Dear Lord! You’ll all get way too hot. W: Well, it’s worse for the saxophone players. M: I guess the drummers have the same problem. W: Yes. They complained, but the school doesn’t have money to buy new clothes for us. Text 8 W: Is that your dog? He’s not very friendly. M: Yeah, that’s Sammy. I’m sorry he’s a little anxious. He’s usually quite playful, but he had a rough day. W: How does a dog have a rough day? Don’t they just chase rabbits and sleep? M: Well, I took him to a dog park, and a larger dog bit him. I’m worried Sammy will be afraid of strangers forever. W: Well, that explains it. Don’t worry about it. Why don’t I sit over here on this chair and calm him down? M: Thanks for understanding. I’ll get you something to drink. W: Thanks, but I’m sorry I’m early. I really thought the invitation said 7 o’clock. M: That’s all right. Most people start dinner parties at 6:30, but mine’s an hour later because everyone’s going to the football game. W: Oh, dear. I wish I were a fan. I should have known that. Text 9 M: Waitress! I think there’s something wrong with our bill. W: No, I don’t think so…$10 for the drinks, 15 for the small plate, and 20 for the main dish. M: What? I knew the cheese sticks were 15. I always order cheese sticks, but I thought the main dish was $10. W: Oh, that explains it. You think the bill should be $35. M: Yes, exactly. I was wondering what happened to the rest of my change. I should have gotten back 15, not 5! W: I understand. Sometimes people aren’t honest, but I think this was an honest mistake. Didn’t you order the sea cucumbers for dinner? M: Yes, and they were delicious. Best cucumbers ever! I’m so glad I’m a vegetarian. W: Sir, I am so sorry. Have you ordered sea cucumbers before? They aren’t vegetables, you know. M: Really? I thought it was a vegetable that grew in the ocean. W: Nope. They’re seafood. M: Oh, no! W: I’m so sorry, sir. I assumed you understood what you were ordering. M: Actually, Jenny took my order. Maybe I can talk to her. W: She had an emergency at home. I came in to take over her tables. But I’m sure if I talk to the manager, we can give you a discount for the order. M: That’s OK. Text 10 Good morning, Brooklyn High School, and welcome to another year. I’m Harvey Briggs, the school director, and I’ll be broadcasting these morning announcements every day at 8:15 a.m. in the school hall. And of course, we have a poster wall in the cafeteria with sign-ups for school activities. Don’t forget to sign up for the football team. The team loves Bill Wyatt, our head coach, and many of our former football players have gone to good colleges for free because of their skills. This year, we have a new system for our lunch menu. The food we offer each week will be emailed to your parents. They will choose lunch food for you and pay through their Parents Direct account. One last announcement for today: We have a new smart phone policy. Students will not be allowed to bring smart phones into the teaching buildings. We’ve provided special lockers inside the school gate to keep your phones safe while class is in session. If you need to contact family members during class hours, come to the office and talk to the school staff. We hope you all have a successful school year!
