In the mid-1950s,I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort.One day,this approach threw me into embarrassment.
In Mrs.Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson,Indiana,we were learning to add and subtract decimals(小数).
Our teacher typically assigned daily homework,which would be recited in class the following day.On most days,our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions.
Mrs.Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets.She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.
Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students,it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer.This particular time,I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.
What I failed to expect was that several students were absent,which threw off my estimate.As Mrs.Totten made her way from the beginning of the class.I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get.I tried to work it out before she got to me,but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.
When Mrs.Totten reached my desk,she asked what answer I’d got for problem No.14.“I...I didn’t get anything,”I answered,and my face felt warm.
“Correct,”she said.
It turned out that the correct answer was zero.
What did I learn that day?First,always do all your homework.Second,in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters.Third,I would never make it as a mathematician.
If I could choose one school day that taught me the most,it would be that one.
61.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?
A.It is wise to value one’s time.
B.It is important to make an effort.
C.It is right to stick to one’s belief.
D.It is enough to do the necessary.
62.Usually,Mrs.Totten asked her students to 　　　. 
A.recite their homework together
B.grade their homework themselves
C.answer their homework questions orally
D.check the answers to their homework questions
63.The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always 　　　. 
A.asked questions in a regular way
B.walked up and down when asking questions
C.chose two or three questions for the students
D.requested her students to finish their usual questions
64.The author failed to get the questions he had expected because 　　　. 
A.the class didn’t begin as usual
B.several students didn’t come to school
C.he didn’t try hard to make his estimate
D.Mrs.Totten didn’t start from the back of the class
65.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.An Unforgettable Teacher
B.A Future Mathematician
C.An Effective Approach
D.A Valuable Lesson

C
The behaviour of a building’s users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use,according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC).The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions(排放) by 80 percent by 2050,part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2016.But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own—though extremely important—is not enough to achieve such reductions:the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too.
The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency(效率),which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.
‘Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,’explains Katy Janda,a UKERC senior researcher,‘consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design.’ In other words,old habits die hard,even in the best-designed eco-home.
Another part of the problem is information.Households and bill-payers don’t have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits.Without specific information,it’s hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices.Feedback(反馈) facilities,like smart meters and energy monitors,could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use;some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.
Social science research has added a further dimension(方面),suggesting that individuals’ behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted—whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat(恒温器),for example.
Janda argues that education is the key.She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.
66.As to energy use,the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of 　　　. 
A.zero-carbon homes
B.the behaviour of building users
C.sustainable building design
D.the reduction of carbon emissions
67.The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to “　　　”. 
A.the ways B.their homes
C.developments D.existing efforts
68.What are Katy Janda’s words mainly about?
A.The importance of changing building users’ habits.
B.The necessity of making a careful building design.
C.The variety of consumption patterns of building users.
D.The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.
69.The information gap in energy use 　　　. 
A.can be bridged by feedback facilities
B.affects the study on energy monitors
C.brings about problems for smart meters
D.will be caused by building users’ old habits
70.What does the dimension added by social science research suggest?
A.The social science research is to be furthered.
B.The education programme is under discussion.
C.The behaviour of building users is unpredictable.
D.The behaviour preference of building users is similar.
Part Ⅳ　Writing(45 marks)
Section A(10 marks)
Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
Many of us invest valuable time,energy and money planning our vacations.We do this because we know for sure that going on vacations must be good for us.Research proves this feeling without a doubt.Vacations help us perform better at work,improve our sleep quality and cushion us against depression.
Yet,despite these benefits,many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK—but not great.In order to change this,some mistakes should be avoided.A classic one for vacation planners is attempting to maximize value for money by planning trips that have too many components(组成部分).Perhaps you’re planning a trip to Europe,seven cities in 10 days,and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list.Sounds fine in theory,but hopping from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness—time to take in our new surroundings,time to be present and absorb our travel experiences.Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic issues such as how to find a good flight deal,how to get from A to B,or which destinations to add or subtract from our journey.These issues may seem important,but our psychological state of mind is far more important.
Actually,vacation happiness is based on the following top rules.First,choose your travel companions wisely,because nothing contributes more significantly to a trip than the right companions.Second,don’t spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to maintain a positive mood.Third,shop wisely,for meaningful experiences provide more long-term happiness than physical possessions.

Section B(10 marks)
Directions:Read the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
Kids and Ponds
Years ago there was a group of kids who would hang around at some local ponds in the woods near their houses in Warwick,Rhode Island.In summer they caught frogs and fish.When winter arrived they couldn’t wait to go skating.Time passed,and the ponds became the only open space for the kids to enjoy themselves in that neighborhood.
One day,a thirteen-year-old boy from this group of kids read in the local newspaper that a developer wanted to fill in the ponds and build over a hundred small houses called condominiums.So the boy went door to door and gathered more than two hundred signatures(签名) to stop the development.A group of citizens met and decided to support him.
At the meeting of the town planning board(委员会),the boy was quite nervous at first and spoke very softly.But when he saw the faces of his friends and neighbors in the crowd and thought about what was happening to their favorite ponds,his voice grew louder.He told the town officials that they should speak for the citizens.He also insisted that they should leave enough space for children.A few days later,the developer stopped his plan.
Nine years later,when that teen was a senior in college,he was informed that the developer was back with his proposal to build condominiums.Now twenty-two years old,he was studying wetlands ecology.He again appeared before the town planning board.This time as an expert witness,he used environmental protection laws to explain restrictions on development in and around wetlands and the knowledge of wetlands ecology to help improve the development.Finally some condominiums were built,but less than half the number the developer wanted.The ponds where those kids used to hang around were protected by a strip of natural land,and are still there today.
81.What did the kids like to do at the local ponds in winter?(No more than 6 words)(2 marks)
 
82.How did the boy win the citizens’ support?(No more than 10 words)(2 marks)
 
83.What did the boy tell the town officials?(No more than 16 words)(3 marks)
 
84.What helped the boy to protect the ponds successfully nine years later?(No more than 12 words)(3 marks)

1~5 ABACC　6~10 AACCB　11~15 BCABB
16.change　17.meeting　18.light　19.gift shop
20.the package
21.D　考查非谓语动词。句意:孩子们有父母陪伴时,被允许进入这个体育场。children与accompany存在被动关系,所以用过去分词形式。
22.B　考查虚拟语气。句意:如果杜威先生在场的话,他会给那里的人们尽可能地提供帮助。主句中的would have done是对过去的情况进行虚拟假设,因此条件句的谓语动词用had done。
23.A　考查非谓语动词。句意:理解你自己的需求和交流方式与学会表达你的喜爱和情感一样重要。分析句子结构可知,句子缺少的是主语,且understand与句子的逻辑主语you为主动关系,因此选择动名词形式做主语。
24.C　考查名词性从句。句意:正如约翰·列侬曾经说过的那样,当我们正在为生活疲于奔波时,生活已离我们远去。系动词is后面是表语从句,表语从句中缺少的是主语,因此选择what。
25.D　考查情态动词。句意:——我已经为野餐准备了各种各样的食物。——你的意思是我们不必带任何东西了?can’t “不能”;mustn’t “不许,禁止”;shan’t “不会”;needn’t “不必”。
26.D　考查状语从句。句意:如果你不能全身心地投入工作,你就永远不可能取得成功。unless在此处引导条件状语从句,意为“如果不,除非”。
27.B　考查非谓语动词。句意:没有什么乐趣能比得上躺在草地中央,凝望夜空。根据句意可知,“躺在草地中央”与“凝望夜空”是同时发生的动作,因此用现在分词形式做伴随状语。
28.B　考查时态。句意:自从人类开始园艺劳动以来,我们一直在设法使我们的环境变得更加美丽。根据时间状语since the time humankind started gardening可知,主句的谓语动词使用现在完成进行时,表示动作从过去持续到现在并且还将继续进行下去。
29.A　考查倒装。句意:只有当你找到了自己内心的平静时,你才能与其他人保持良好的关系。“only+状语(从句)”位于句首时,主句采用部分倒装语序;根据时间状语从句的时态可确定主句使用一般将来时。
30.A　考查祈使句。句意:让你今天所做的事情有价值,因为你是在用生命中的一天进行交换。分析句子结构可知,主句没有主语,由此判断这是一个祈使句,所以用动词原形。
31.C　考查定语从句。句意:我一直期盼那一天,我的女儿能够读懂这本书并且知道我对她的情感。先行词是the day,定语从句结构完整,所以用when来引导。
32.C　考查时态和主谓一致。句意:我们所需要的就是一小块土地,在这儿我们可以在一年的生长季节种植各种各样的果树。句子的主语是all we need,再结合表语a piece of land可知,谓语动词用单数,排除A、D项;根据定语从句谓语动词的时态可判断用一般现在时,排除B项。
33.A　考查强调句。句意:不是做我们喜欢的事情而是喜欢我们要做的事情才使得人生幸福快乐。此处为“It’s...that...”强调句,强调的是句子的主语,故用that。
34.D　考查时态。句意:无论何时,你买礼物的话,都应该从接受者的角度来考虑它。根据句意可知,此处指通常的情况,所以用一般现在时。
35.C　考查非谓语动词。句意:要想把我们自己从身心紧张的状态下解脱出来,我们每个人都需要沉思以及内心的宁静。根据句意可知,此处需要用动词不定式做目的状语。free sb.from sth. “使某人脱离……”。
