Even before I opened my mouth, he was shaking his head.It was September 1957, and my family had just arrived in California. My father only got work two or three days a week. Our poor savings were gone, and as the eldest boy of the family, I was the only one able to help.“l(fā)et me work the rest of the week, and if you dont like the way I do the job, dont pay me.”I said. The tall man stared at me, then nodded. At Morts, I worked very hard. Near the end of the day he called me up to him. “How much did that card at school say this job paid? he asked. “One dollar an hour. I whispered. Actually I was willing to take less.“Thats not enough for someone who works as hard as you, Mort said. “You start at 1.25.”O(jiān)ver the next few weeks I learned a lot about Mort. Our store was closed on Sundays, so every Saturday evening Mort urged me to take home the leftover soup. It was a meal in itself, a treat for my struggling family.One Saturday after work. I was about to step in my house when I saw a large man in my fathers chair. He was swearing at my father. I quietly walked into the kitchen and listened through the door. The man wanted to take our car. Dad offered to make the three payments that were due, but the man demanded the entire sum-325-or the car. I slipped out of the door, thinking: Who might have 325? Who would even consider lending me so much money?The only person I could think of was Mort. I ran back to his deli and told him my tale. “So, could you possibly lend my father 325?I finished, realizing how absurd it sounded. Although Morts eye bored(挖) holes in my face, he gave me 325, saying, “I ll take back half your wages until its repaid.”That night I was a hero to my family, But the real hero was Mort Rubin, who quietly raised my salary every month afterwards. He made the world a better place.4. Why does the author talk about his family in Paragraph 2? A. To show his strong desire for a job. B. To reflect his poor living conditions. C.

Strict and calculating.CResearch finds that children who play violent games or watch violent TV can bee violent themselves, but what drives this change? Are the kids simply copy what they see on the screen, or could gaming have a more profound effect on their brains, affecting behavior?To explore that question, Dr. Vincent Matthews and his colleagues at Indiana University, who have long studied media violence, looked at what happened in the brains in 28 students who were randomly assigned to play either a violent, first-person shooter game or a non-violent one every day for a week. None of the participants had much previous gaming experience.At the start of the study, researchers used functional MRI to scan brain activity in the participants, all young adult men, while they pleted lab-based tasks involving either emotional or non-emotional content. The participants were then scanned again while they repeated the same tasks after a week of playing the video games.Researchers found that those who played the violent video games showed less activity in areas that involved emotions, attention and inhibition(抑制) of our impulses(沖動(dòng)). “Behavioral studies have shown an increase in aggressive behavior after violent video games, and what we show is the psychological explanation for what the behavioral studies are showing,” say Matthews. “Were showing that there are changes in brain function that are likely related to that behavior.”Its not clear how long-lasting the changes may be. When Matthews brought the participants back after a week of not playing video games, their brain activity had changed again, recovering to more normal reactions, but their brain functions still werent quite the same as before they were exposed to the violent games.8. What do we know about the participants?A. Both teenagers and adults were chosen. B. The participants had never played any puter games before. C. 28 participants were all young adult men. D. The participants were carefully divided into two groups.9. After playing a violent video game, a person is more likely to be _.A. concentrative B. impulsive C. calmD. tired10. What does the underlined part “more profound” in Paragraph I most probably mean?A. Greater. B. Shorter. C. negative D. positive.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. What Causes Children to Be Violent B. How Matthews Carried Out His Study C. Say “No” to puter Games D. How Playing Violent Video Games May Change the BrainD When a laptop or smart phone battery starts losing its power, the only options are to buy an expensive replacement, or just keep it plugged in all the time. But one woman may have found the answer to this problem.Mya Le Thai is a scientist studying at the University of California. She recently discovered a process that may lead to batteries that last forever.Thai said she had been frustrated that the batteries for her wireless devices degraded over time, until they failed to charge fully. Thai did not like having to keep her laptop connected to an electrical outlet(電源插座) to keep it powered on. So, she decided to do something about that problem. At first, she and her team at UC Irvine thought about inventing a new battery. But as they experimented, Thai discovered something that might permit lithium-ion(鋰離子) batteries to last forever.Lithium-ion batteries power most wireless devices. Over time, the batteries lose the ability to hold a charge. Most of these batteries have a life span of about 7,000 charging cycles before they die. One of the reasons lithium-ion batteries degrade is their use of nanowires to carry electricity. Nanowires are extremely thin, A human hair is thousands of times thicker, for example. Nanowires are extremely efficient carriers of electricity, which makes them useful in batteries. But Thai said their thinness also makes them weak. Nanowires break and fracture over time,” she said. “Thats why they lose capacity.”But, Thai had a theory - the nanowires might last longer if covered with a gel(凝膠). She and her team tested this theory.“ It was a long process and a lot of work, Thai said. The team tried many coverings for the wires. PMMA, a type of plastic, was one of them. The nanowires were coated with PMMA and cycled through charges 200,000 times. The PMMA-coated nanowires showed no evidence of damage. The results suggest that batteries could last forever, without losing charging ability. Thai said 200,000 cycles amount to about three months on just one device. Thai hopes to continue her research to understand why this gel works so well and to see if any other gel could create better results. 12. What caused Thai to work on lithium-ion batteries? A. She found that batteries cant be powered fully. B. She disliked the batteries for her laptop. C. She thought batteries were too expensive. D. She and her team were assigned to invent a new battery.13. Which of the following sentences is TRUE about nanowires? A. They are too weak to carry electricity. B. They last only 7,000 charging cycles. C.They are the main cause of battery degrading. D. They are not suitable to use in batteries.14. The breakthrough may most probably lie in_. A. a new kind of battery B. new materials for batteries C. coating nanowires in gel D. a new way of charging batteries15. What may be the best title for the passage? A. Why batteries are degrading B. Scientist invents life-long battery C. Nanowires discovered by scientist D. Nanowires trying on new coating第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題3分,滿分15分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Modern life is making us lonelier, and recent research indicates that this may be the next biggest public health issue following obesity and substance abuse. 16_ Changes in modern society are considered to be the cause. We live in nuclear family units, often living large distances away from our extended family and friends, and our growing reliance on social technology rather than face-to-face interaction is thought to be making us feel more isolated (孤立的). 17 Relocating to a new area, losing a loved one, and starting a course at university are all key times when people feel lonely. Some people believe this experience of loneliness motivates us to reconnect with others and to seek out new friendships to reduce the “social pain” that we feel. 18 But for some, when reconnection is not easy or not possible and a person is socially isolated, he can remain in this unfortable loneliness state for a number of years, which is linked to poor mental health.There are a number of misunderstandings regarding those who experience loneliness. Certainly all of us feel it from time to time. 19 They may be socially isolated due to decreased mobility and loss of friends and partners. But it is not often acknowledged that loneliness also affects people at all ages, including children, and is particularly mon in the teenage years.Another myth (謬見) is that loneliness is typically associated with being alone, but it also affects people when they are surrounded by others and well connected socially. 20 A. They think it is useful to us.B. So why are we getting lonelier?C. Loneliness affects all of us at some point in our lives.D. But how on earth can we get rid of this upsetting “friend”?E. Loneliness almost acpanies us all the time and everywhere.F. But it is monly known that loneliness particularly affects the elderly.G. This is because loneliness is about the quality not the quantity of relationships. 第三部分 英語知識運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿分55分）第一節(jié) （共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。A small village by the sea depended on fishing to survive.
