Life in the summertime is often full of pests. Like most Long Island homeowners, I want to ensure my suburban life with pest—free living. So it was with wide—eyed wonder that I greeted the smiling exterminator（灭者）who rang my bell.

“We’ll be serving your neighbors, Mike and Sarah (I’m not familiar with either one by name),” he waved in the other direction. “Since we’ll have a team here tomorrow we’re offering a discount.” He came out with numbers beginning from $299 then in seconds to $89.

“You’ve probably been seeing the ant hills around.” he moved toward my front walkway and lawn. “And have you seen the bees that dig nests in the ground?” he continued with his head shaking up and down pushing me to do the same.

“What we do is spray（喷洒）three feet out from your foundation and three feet up.” As he was talking, and without breaking eye contact, he opened his iPad cover and began operating at the screen to show me frightening images. “It also kills other pests, like spiders. It is the best pesticide（杀虫剂）,” he said, pausing for effect.

He then went into soft talk to close the deal, correctly foreseeing that I would be worried about safety and the environmental impact on my vegetable garden, plants and our little patch of planet here on Long Island. “The products are environmentally responsible, safe with children and pets,” he said.

I’m unkind when it comes to unwanted visitors entering on my out—of—doors moments. Any insect found in my house or on my deck（露天平台）is bound to be poisoned or pancaked.

Unfortunately for the exterminator, just as I was considering making an appointment, Billy, my fearless husband, pulled into our driveway, which made me ask for a business card out of politeness instead.

24. How did the author feel at the sight of the exterminator?

A. Frightened.   B. Disappointed.  C. Surprised D. Puzzled.

25. What did the exterminator offer the author if she accepted his service?

A. A free pesticide.  B. A discount.   C. An iPad for free.  D. A group rate. 

26. Why was the author worried about the pesticide?

A. It might cause frightening images.

B. It might be too expensive for her to afford.

C. It might harm her family and surroundings.

D. It might have no effect on unwanted visitors.

27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A The author is sure to phone the salesman later.

B. Billy made up his mind to purchase the pesticide.

C. Billy drove home to prevent the author from being cheated by the exterminator. 

D. The author had planned to buy the pesticide before Billy appeared.

C

Taking a shower is relaxing You can hum a song, daydream or think about nothing, leaving the real world behind you. But did you know that showering can also benefit your mind?

A research by Scott Barry Kaufman, a psychologist from Yale University in the US interviewed over 3,000 people around the world. It turned out that nearly two—thirds of the interviewees said they had experienced new ideas in the shower and were more likely to have them in the shower than at work.

So why does a simple shower have such magic power? Science can explain it.

Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone（荷尔蒙）closely related to our creativity. “People vary in terms of their level of creativity according to the activity of dopamine”, explained Alice Flaherty, a famous American neuroscientist（神经系统科学家）. “Taking a warm shower can make us feel relaxed and therefore make the dopamine level rise and bring ‘Aha!’ moment to us.”

Besides the chemical changes, showering may give you a break from what you feel you have been stuck with. Especially when you have thought hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memories. In this way, according to American psychologist Shelley H. Carson, author of Your Creative Brain, “a showering hour may turn into an ‘incubation（孵化）period’ for your ideas.”

Compared with sitting in front of a computer, taking a shower is something we do less frequently in our daily life. When showering, we get a fresh experience with the change of location, temperature and humidity（湿度）. “New and unexpected experiences can lead to positive changes in thinking,” explained Kaufman. “Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may create a distance and force you to think from a new point of view.”

Showering allows us to enjoy the creative juices of our minds, but it needn’t just be the bathroom where you get your inspiration. For instance, Gertrude Stein, a female American writer and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows until she found the one that most inspired her. So try to create your own way to free your mind, whether it’s a walk near the ocean, a country drive or reading a book at home.

28. According to the article, what changes can showering cause?

A. Increasing the level of dopamine.

B. Bringing the terrible moment to us.

C. Leading to boredom or tiredness.

D. Setting the creative part of the brain free.

29. If one has focused on something all day, showering can help ______.

A. draw one’s attention to the outside world

B. tun one’s attention inwards

C. experience something new

D. many chemical changes take place

30. It can be inferred from the article that ______.

A. changes in the frequency of an action can create a new view

B. it is a good idea to talk with others about their sources of inspiration

C. our lives might feel longer and fuller if we frequently try new things

D. it is helpful to try something different rather than stay focused on a difficult task 

31. The example of Gertrude Stein in the last paragraph is used to ______.

A. show that creativity often comes from strange places

B. point out to readers that it’s hard to find inspiration

C. explain how to link inspiration with readers’ daily lives

D. encourage readers to find their own ways of getting inspiration

D

Carlos Slim’s proposal that we work a three—day week sounds crazy. But many, in 1922, thought Henry Ford crazy when he announced that his staff would work a five—day week.

Our working week seems normal to us because it is what we all always do. He certainly could be for those he cared about most when he made his three—day—week statement at a business conference in Paraguay: the workers who are not ready to retire. As Mr. Slim said, it no longer makes sense for people to stop working in their fifties or sixties when they may still have up to a third of their lives ahead of them. “People are going to have to work for more years, until they are 70 or 75, and just work three days a week—perhaps 11 hours a day.” he said.

Keeping older employees at work makes sense for societies, especially those with a declining number of young people who are expected to support long—living retirees,

He appeared to be suggesting that these short—week workers earn the same as they did full—time. That is what happens at Telmex, his Mexican fixed—line phone company, where those qualified for retirement can choose to work four—day weeks on full pay.

Older workers elsewhere might prefer shorter weeks on reduced pay—and eight or nine—hour days rather than 11. Their companies might value keeping their experience while saving money on their salaries. What about everyone else? There are those who are unemployed, or in unstable jobs, who would be delighted to have three secure, well—paid days of work a week.

Shorter weeks don’t work in every job, but they work in more jobs than most tradition—bound managers think. Agreeing to them requires two shifts（转变）in management thinking. The first is the realization that much of the time spent in offices is wasted anyway. Second, senior executives（管理人员）need to understand that the best way to measure people is by the work they produce—not by how much time they spend at their desks.

People living longer, in better health, are changing working life too. Mr. Slim’s idea is in tune with the times.

32. According to paragraph 2, why did Mr. Slim think it unwise for people in their fifties or sixties to retire?

A. Because they have longer life to live in their future.

B. Because they have children and old parents to support.

C. Because they have much interest in their present work.

D. Because they have more experience than young workers.

33. What can we infer from the passage?

A The decision of working five days a week by Ford was considered normal in the past.

B. Old people continuing working can reduce young people’s pressure to support their old parents.

C. Some companies don’t want their old workers to go on working because they can save money.

D. Much time spent at work is wasted if managers don’t agree to reduce old employees’ working time.

34. What does the underlined phrase “in tune with” mean in the last paragraph?

A. Different from. B. Superior to. C. Far from. D. Consistent with.

35. What is the best title for this passage?

A. Retire Or Not, This Is A Question!

B. Shorter Weeks Is Welcome By All

C. Working Three Days A Week: A Great Idea

D. Carlos Slim—Crazy For More Resting Time

第二节（满分12.5分）根据文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项，选项中的两项为多余选项。

Here are over 7,000 languages in the world, each of which has its own features and advantages. Any individual language is perfectly capable of enabling communication    36   .

Show Formality With A Pronoun（代词）

There are plenty of ways to show respect in English, but what English is missing is the formal “you”. But English has a single, widely accepted second—person pronoun. This is also why English doesn’t have a standard form for addressing more than one person.

   37   . Back in the days of Old English, the word “thou” was the singular you and “ye” was the plural you. By the 13th century, these two had shifted, so “thou” was the informal you and “ye” was the formal one. But over the past several centuries, the pronouns shifted again: “ye” became “you” and replaced both of them.

   38    

How many vowels（元音）does English have? Well, if you look at the alphabet, it has only five: A, E, I, O and U. Six if you throw in Y. But if you actually listen to English there are a lot more. English tries its best to reflect this in its writing system, but the fact of the matter is that people learning English through reading are going to struggle to figure out what vowels sound like. When you throw in different dialects and clusters（群组）like “trough, though, tough”, you can see how tricky a language this really is.    39    

You could say, then, that there’s nothing on this list English “can’t” do. We probably won’t wake up tomorrow and suddenly have a completely different word order, but the Englishes spoken 10, 50 and 100 years from now will all differ from the ones we speak today.    40   .

A. Represent All Its Vowels In Writing

B. Express The Standard Form Of Respect

C. One of the strange things, though, is that English used to have both of these

D. However, there are two things English can’t do but other languages can

E. English needs to keep moving to stay alive and it’s exciting to think about where it could go

F. When you only know English, you’re getting a limited look at what language as a whole can do

G. This differs a lot from a language like Spanish, which for the most part has only one sound per letter

The House Fairy

As young parents, my husband and I felt that at age 6 and 8, our children were old enough to be cleaning their rooms and making their beds. But they thought    41   . My complaints, repeating myself, even self—justified shouting were landing on    42    ears. I felt frustrated（沮丧的）, and very often a whole afternoon’s scolding would end with their bursting into tears. I realized I needed to    43    my methods of mothering”.

One day while they were at school, I had great fun tidying their rooms. On their desks, in plain    44    I left the cards: “Dear Bill (the other card was    45    to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the House Fairy.”    46    arriving back, the children were    47    excited to receive the little note from the House Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the House Fairy waiting for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and    48    asking them to play a certain violin    49    Each day, thank—you notes would be worded differently to keep the ideas fresh.

Sometimes the House Fairy would suggest a little    50   : “If you can finish your homework today and    51    it before dinner, I’d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in    52    of jobs especially well done the day before.

   53    I can’t remember how long the House Fairy continued leaving her love notes. When they were no longer age appropriate（合适的）, we used various versions of Post—Its. The bathroom mirror became the    54    centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be posted.

We all benefited from and    55    the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true legacy of the House Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文 

“Next Friday we’ll have the annual Egg Drop Challenge. The challenge is simple you have to build a protective container to keep an egg from breaking when dropped over the stadium wall.” said Mr. Beal.

Cassie and I grinned at each other. Always working on projects together, we’re perfect combination. She’s brainy while I am creative.

While waiting for Cassie to come over and work on the container, I made my favorite sandwich with the fluffy marshmallow（棉花糖）cream. That gave me an idea: We can put some marshmallow cream under the egg as a cushion（垫子）.

I later told Cassie about it. But Cassie wasn’t interested. “I got a better idea. We put the egg in a basket with a parachute（降落伞）attached.” She said.

“It will never work.” I said.

“And Marshmallow cream will?” Cassie rolled her eyes. “The parachute is better than that stupid idea.”

I couldn’t believe it. She never called my idea “stupid” before. “Then I will build mine and you build yours, and we’ll just see whose is better.”

“Fine!” Cassie stormed out. And just like that, our friendship was smashed, like an egg dropped from the top of a stadium without marshmallow cream to protect it.

When Friday arrived, I saw Cassie’s Egg Force One. She had a handkerchief to create a small parachute. It was tied to a basket and, in the center of it, her egg.

My Egg—cellent Egg Cream didn’t look quite scientific. I used a layer of marshmallow cream and a layer of jelly（果冻）to support the egg.

The competition started. Everyone in my class carried their egg containers up three stadium steps and dropped them over the side wall. If your egg broke, you were out. If the egg survived, you had to walk up three more steps and drop it again. This went on until the last egg broke.

Possible Version One:

By the fourth launch, only Cassie and I were left. The class called “One, two, three” I let go of my box. Then I raced down the steps, trying to get to the bottom before Cassie did. I finally found my brave little Egg—cellent Egg Cream. I didn’t even have to open the box to see the results. Yolk and egg white mixed with yellow jelly seeped from the corner. My heart raced as I looked at Cassie’s basket. It was empty.

“My egg flew out,” She explained, pointing to a broken shell in the grass. “You know what? I guess it will survive if we put some marshmallow inside your parachute basket.” I started to rethink about the possibility of combining the two ideas. Cassie looked at me, and her glare softened. Then I grinned. She giggled. Neither of us win the competition. But Cassie and I knew we had won something more important than the Egg Drop Challenge. Maybe some friendships aren’t like eggs after all. They can survive a little bouncing.

Possible Version Two:

By the fourth launch, only Cassie and I were left. We stared at each other as if we were enemy. Neither of us would like to accept our idea was a failure. Mr. Beal announced the start of our fourth try. “Three, two, one!” I let go of my Egg—cellent Egg Cream with my palms sweating. What I could see from above was the yellow transparent liquid mixed with white spots. Immediately, I realized I lost the game. Feeling upset, I still wondered whether Cassie’s parachute had landed safely.

“My egg flew out,” She explained, pointing to a broken shell in the grass. Kids were booing as they had already known there wouldn’t be a winner of this year. Later, Mr. Beal declared we were having a tie this year. I approached Cassie and patted on her shoulder, realizing the challenge shouldn’t have a negative impact on our friendship. Cassie said softly, “Even though our eggs die so easily, our friendship won’t. Next year, we are going to work out a perfect container together.
