Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
After a car crash left 14-year-old Collin Smith unable to walk, doctors told him he had a 20 percent chance of finishing high school. The opportunity to attend college seemed even slimmer. Yet eight years later, Collin earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from High Point University. Collin had achieved the nearly impossible --- with the help of a kind man five decades his senior.
Dial back to 2005. Ernest Greene had just moved to the same area that Collin and his parents lived. The families did not know each other. But when Ernest heard about Collin's accident and the fact that his parents would not be able to care full-time for their son, Ernest says, he felt a calling. “The Lord was leading me to help,” he says. He had time to spare.
Ernest approached Collin’s parents with the idea that he would look after the boy while they were at work. The Smiths gratefully accepted. Collin, now23, says it was hard for him to understand then “how someone I didn’t know would drop everything to help me.”
Ernest sought training to care for Collin and then began arriving at the Smiths’ home early on weekday mornings. He would help Collin get out of bed, wash, and dress. He would help him have breakfast. Then he’d drive Collin to school. And at 3 p.m., every day, Ernest would drive back to pick him up. Then, while the two waited for one of Collin's parents to get home, “we played a lot of Monopoly,” says Ernest with a laugh.
Collin graduated from high school with the rest of his class and was accepted to nearby High Point. Ernest accompanied him to every class. “The first year was interesting,” Ernest recalls. “Collin didn't want to stick out.” Ernest. on the other hand, says he took full advantage of the opportunity, taking down notes and often commenting in class.
On graduation day, Ernest received an honorary degree in humanities. “I was floored,” he says. But Collin wasn't surprised. “Ernest is an example of the way a man should live --- calm, humble," he says.
56. Which of the following is true about Collin and Ernest?
A. Collin was fifty years younger than Ernest.
B. Ernest and Collin knew each other since Collin was born.
C. Collin’s parents hired Ernest to look after him.
D. Ernest spared some time after work to care for Collin.

A. He waited at home for Collin's parents.
B. He attended the classes with Collin.
C. He drove back to nearby High Point.
D. He played Monopoly by himself.
58. What does the word “floored” (in paragraph 6) most probably mean?
A. disappointed B. tired C. praised D. astonished
59. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. How Ernest helped Collin achieve a seemingly impossible goal.
B. How Collin's strong will got himself through the tough years.
C. How Ernest and Collin helped each other to finish their college education.
D. How Ernest's family found him a good way to conquer the fatal disease.

(C)
① Running is often tiring and a lot of hard work, but nothing beats the feeling you get after finishing a long workout around the track .
② But while it’s long been believed that endorphins (脑内啡) – chemicals in the body that cause happiness – are behind the so-called “runner’s high”, a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon than we previously knew.
③ According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids (内源性大麻素) may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling.
④ To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice.
⑤ Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise, along with many other chemicals. After exercising on running wheels, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety.
⑥ But after being given a drug to block their endorphins, the mice’s behavior didn’t seem to change. However, when their endocannabinoids were blocked with a different drug, their runner’s high symptoms seemed to fade.
⑦ “The long-held notion of endorphins being responsible for the runner’s high is false. Endorphins are effective pain relievers, but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out,” Patrick Lucas Austin wrote on science blog Lifehacker.
⑧ Similar studies are yet to be carried out on humans, but it’s already well known that exercise is a highly effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety.
⑨ The UK’s National Health Service even prescribes (开药方) exercise to patients who are suffering from depression.
⑩ “Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy, which might put you off being more active. Regular exercise can boost your mood if you have depression, and it’s especially useful for people with mild to moderate (中等的) depression,” it wrote on its website.
⑪ It seems like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout, even if we don’t fully understand where it comes from. At least if we’re feeling down, we know that all we have to do is put on our running shoes.
63. What did scientists from German universities recently discover?
A. Working out is a highly effective way to treat depression.
B. The runner’s high could be caused by endocannabinoids.
C. Endorphins may contribute to one’s high spirits after running.
D. The level of endorphins and endocannabinoids could affect one’s mood.
64. The scientists gave mice drugs in their experiment to _______.
A. find what reduces the runner’s high symptoms
B. see the specific symptoms of the runner’s high
C. identify what is responsible for the runner’s high
D. test what influences the level of endocannabinoids released
65. The underlined word “notion” in Paragraph 7 has the closest meaning to _______.
A. effect B. goal C. question D. belief
66. According to the UK’s National Health Service, regular workouts _______.
A. are the best way to treat depression
B. can help ease depression symptoms
C. only work for those with serious depression
D. can help people completely recover from depression

Directions：Read the passage carefully．Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box．Each sentence can be used only once．Note that there are two more sentences than you need．

B. Spending more is likely to stimulate your motivation for more earning.
C. It gives you options and frees you from relying on someone else’s priorities.
D. Living with less is the most efficient way to control your financial future.
E. Actually, your parents have already given you too much.
F. What you want is respect and admiration from other people.
My wife and I recently welcomed a child into the world．His only interest right now is keeping us awake ．But one day，he'll need to learn something about finance．When he does，here are some suggestions．
1. You might think you want an expensive car，a fancy watch，and a huge house．But you don't． ___67___ You think having expensive stuff will bring it．It almost never does-especially from the people you want to respect and admire you．
2. I hope you're poor at some point．Not struggling，and not unhappy，of course．But there's no way to learn the value of money without feeling the power of its scarcity．It teaches you the difference between necessary and desirable． ___68___ These are essential survival skills．
3. Don't stay in a job you hate because you made a career choice at 18．Almost no one knows what he or she wants to do at that age．Many people don't know what they want until they're twice that age．（These are the signs you're in the wrong career．）
4. The best thing money buys is to control over your time． ___69___ One day you'll realize that this freedom is one of the things that makes you truly happy．
5. Your savings rate has a little to do with how much you earn and a lot to do with how much you spend．I know a dentist who lives paycheck to paycheck，always on the edge of ruin．I know another person who never earned more than 50，000and saved a fortune．The difference is entirely due to their spending． ___70___．
6. Don't listen to me if you disagree with what I've written．The world you grow up in will have different values and opportunities than the one I did．More important，you'll learn best when you disagree with someone and then are forced to learn it yourself．（On the other hand，always listen to your mother．）
IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Are you a textaholic?
71.Do you spend over an hour each day texting your friends? Do you frequently neglect work, study and leisure activities to check your phone for text messages? Are you moody and emotional if you are separated from your mobile phone? Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk any more, and do your thumbs from texting too much?
If you answered ‘Yes’ to any of the above questions. then the chances are that you are a textaholic. A textaholic can be defined as someone who is addicted to sending and receiving text messages. The main symptoms are a strong will to text which takes precedence over everything else, and withdrawal symptoms if messages fail to come in, leading to anger, depression and a lack of self-respect. Other problems include sleeplessness, eye strain, and repetitive strain injury due to constant messaging, not to mention expensive phone bills. The root of the problem, as with many addictions, is the desire to escape from emotional difficulties such as stress, anxiety and relationship problems. Experts warn that text addiction is likely to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young.
So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic? The key is to get your life back in balance. Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive and consider leaving your mobile phone behind occasionally when you go out. Most importantly. make a point of spending quality time with friends and family, and make time to re-learn the art of face-to-face conversation instead of conducting your relationships by means of text messages. Not only will you save time and money, but you may also rediscover the pleasure of true communication.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
After a car crash left 14-year-old Collin Smith unable to walk, doctors told him he had a 20 percent chance of finishing high school. The opportunity to attend college seemed even slimmer. Yet eight years later, Collin earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from High Point University. Collin had achieved the nearly impossible --- with the help of a kind man five decades his senior.
Dial back to 2005. Ernest Greene had just moved to the same area that Collin and his parents lived. The families did not know each other. But when Ernest heard about Collin's accident and the fact that his parents would not be able to care full-time for their son, Ernest says, he felt a calling. “The Lord was leading me to help,” he says. He had time to spare.
Ernest approached Collin’s parents with the idea that he would look after the boy while they were at work. The Smiths gratefully accepted. Collin, now23, says it was hard for him to understand then “how someone I didn’t know would drop everything to help me.”
Ernest sought training to care for Collin and then began arriving at the Smiths’ home early on weekday mornings. He would help Collin get out of bed, wash, and dress. He would help him have breakfast. Then he’d drive Collin to school. And at 3 p.m., every day, Ernest would drive back to pick him up. Then, while the two waited for one of Collin's parents to get home, “we played a lot of Monopoly,” says Ernest with a laugh.
Collin graduated from high school with the rest of his class and was accepted to nearby High Point. Ernest accompanied him to every class. “The first year was interesting,” Ernest recalls. “Collin didn't want to stick out.” Ernest. on the other hand, says he took full advantage of the opportunity, taking down notes and often commenting in class.
On graduation day, Ernest received an honorary degree in humanities. “I was floored,” he says. But Collin wasn't surprised. “Ernest is an example of the way a man should live --- calm, humble," he says.
56. Which of the following is true about Collin and Ernest?
A. Collin was fifty years younger than Ernest.
B. Ernest and Collin knew each other since Collin was born.
C. Collin’s parents hired Ernest to look after him.
D. Ernest spared some time after work to care for Collin.

A. He waited at home for Collin's parents.
B. He attended the classes with Collin.
C. He drove back to nearby High Point.
D. He played Monopoly by himself.
58. What does the word “floored” (in paragraph 6) most probably mean?
A. disappointed B. tired C. praised D. astonished
59. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. How Ernest helped Collin achieve a seemingly impossible goal.
B. How Collin's strong will got himself through the tough years.
C. How Ernest and Collin helped each other to finish their college education.
D. How Ernest's family found him a good way to conquer the fatal disease.

① Running is often tiring and a lot of hard work, but nothing beats the feeling you get after finishing a long workout around the track .
② But while it’s long been believed that endorphins (脑内啡) – chemicals in the body that cause happiness – are behind the so-called “runner’s high”, a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon than we previously knew.
③ According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids (内源性大麻素) may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling.
④ To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice.
⑤ Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise, along with many other chemicals. After exercising on running wheels, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety.
⑥ But after being given a drug to block their endorphins, the mice’s behavior didn’t seem to change. However, when their endocannabinoids were blocked with a different drug, their runner’s high symptoms seemed to fade.
⑦ “The long-held notion of endorphins being responsible for the runner’s high is false. Endorphins are effective pain relievers, but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out,” Patrick Lucas Austin wrote on science blog Lifehacker.
⑧ Similar studies are yet to be carried out on humans, but it’s already well known that exercise is a highly effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety.
⑨ The UK’s National Health Service even prescribes (开药方) exercise to patients who are suffering from depression.
⑩ “Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy, which might put you off being more active. Regular exercise can boost your mood if you have depression, and it’s especially useful for people with mild to moderate (中等的) depression,” it wrote on its website.
⑪ It seems like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout, even if we don’t fully understand where it comes from. At least if we’re feeling down, we know that all we have to do is put on our running shoes.
63. What did scientists from German universities recently discover?
A. Working out is a highly effective way to treat depression.
B. The runner’s high could be caused by endocannabinoids.
C. Endorphins may contribute to one’s high spirits after running.
D. The level of endorphins and endocannabinoids could affect one’s mood.
64. The scientists gave mice drugs in their experiment to _______.
A. find what reduces the runner’s high symptoms
B. see the specific symptoms of the runner’s high
C. identify what is responsible for the runner’s high
D. test what influences the level of endocannabinoids released
65. The underlined word “notion” in Paragraph 7 has the closest meaning to _______.
A. effect B. goal C. question D. belief
66. According to the UK’s National Health Service, regular workouts _______.
A. are the best way to treat depression
B. can help ease depression symptoms
C. only work for those with serious depression
D. can help people completely recover from depression

F. What you want is respect and admiration from other people.
My wife and I recently welcomed a child into the world．His only interest right now is keeping us awake ．But one day，he'll need to learn something about finance．When he does，here are some suggestions．
1. You might think you want an expensive car，a fancy watch，and a huge house．But you don't． ___67___ You think having expensive stuff will bring it．It almost never does-especially from the people you want to respect and admire you．
2. I hope you're poor at some point．Not struggling，and not unhappy，of course．But there's no way to learn the value of money without feeling the power of its scarcity．It teaches you the difference between necessary and desirable． ___68___ These are essential survival skills．
3. Don't stay in a job you hate because you made a career choice at 18．Almost no one knows what he or she wants to do at that age．Many people don't know what they want until they're twice that age．（These are the signs you're in the wrong career．）
4. The best thing money buys is to control over your time． ___69___ One day you'll realize that this freedom is one of the things that makes you truly happy．
5. Your savings rate has a little to do with how much you earn and a lot to do with how much you spend．I know a dentist who lives paycheck to paycheck，always on the edge of ruin．I know another person who never earned more than 50，000and saved a fortune．The difference is entirely due to their spending． ___70___．
6.

IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Are you a textaholic?
71.Do you spend over an hour each day texting your friends? Do you frequently neglect work, study and leisure activities to check your phone for text messages? Are you moody and emotional if you are separated from your mobile phone? Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk any more, and do your thumbs from texting too much?
If you answered ‘Yes’ to any of the above questions. then the chances are that you are a textaholic. A textaholic can be defined as someone who is addicted to sending and receiving text messages. The main symptoms are a strong will to text which takes precedence over everything else, and withdrawal symptoms if messages fail to come in, leading to anger, depression and a lack of self-respect. Other problems include sleeplessness, eye strain, and repetitive strain injury due to constant messaging, not to mention expensive phone bills. The root of the problem, as with many addictions, is the desire to escape from emotional difficulties such as stress, anxiety and relationship problems. Experts warn that text addiction is likely to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young.
So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic? The key is to get your life back in balance. Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive and consider leaving your mobile phone behind occasionally when you go out. Most importantly. make a point of spending quality time with friends and family, and make time to re-learn the art of face-to-face conversation instead of conducting your relationships by means of text messages. Not only will you save time and money, but you may also rediscover the pleasure of true communication.
