Not knowing what else to do, the two survivors agreed that the

18、y had no alternative but to pray to God.However, to find out whose prayers were more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of t

19、he island, and he was able to eat its fruit. But the other mans parcel of land remained barren.After a week, the first man became lonely and decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the island. But on the other side

20、of the island, there was nothing.Soon thereafter the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island

21、, and in the morning he found a ship docked at his side of the island.The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island, considering the other man unworthy to receive Gods blessings since none of his prayers had been answered.As the ship was about to leav

22、e, the first man heard a voice from Heaven booming, “Why are you leaving your companion on the island?”“My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them,” the first man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered and so he doesnt deserve anything.”“You are mistaken!” the voice rebu

23、ked him. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings.”“Tell me,” the first man asked the voice, “what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?”“He prayed that all your prayers would be answered.”For all we know, our blessings are

24、 not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. So what you do for others is more important than what you do for yourself.1、The first mans wife is _.Aa swimmer who got to the island by accidentBan angel sent by God to keep him companyCa survivor from another wrecked shipDa

34、4（8分） We all have defining moments in our lives - meaningful experiences that stand out in our memory. Many of them owe a great deal to chance: a lucky encounter(相遇) with someone who becomes the love of your life. A new teacher who spots a talent you didnt know you had. These moments seem to be the

35、product of fate or luck. We cant control them.But is that true? No necessarily. Defining moments shape our lives, but we dont have to wait for them to happen. We can be the authors of them. It is possible to create defining moments if we understand more about them. Our research shows that they all s

36、hare a set of common elements. We start by asking: why do we remember certain experiences and forget others? In the case of big days, such as weddings, the answer is pretty clear-its a celebration that is grand in scale and rich in emotion. No surprise that its more memorable than a maths lesson. Bu

37、t for other experiences in life -from holidays to work projects-its not so clear why we remember what we do.Consider an experiment in which participants were asked to submerge(浸入) their hands for 60 seconds in buckets filled with 14 water. (Remember 14 water feels much colder than 14 air.) They were

38、 then asked to submerge their hands for 90 seconds instead of 60, but during the final 30 seconds, the water warmed up to 15. The participants were then given a choice: would you rather repeat the first trial or the second?Psychologists have explained the reasons for this puzzling result. When peopl

39、e assess an experience, they tend to forget or ignore its length. Instead, they seem to rate the experience based on two key moments: the best or worst moment, known as the peak, and the ending.In the participants memories, what stood out for them was that the longer trial ended more comfortably tha

40、n the shorter one. So when we assess our experiences, we dont average our minute-by-minute feelings. Rather, we tend to remember flagship moments: the peaks, the pits(低谷) and the transitions. What we dont remember are the bits in between-sometimes there is little to distinguish one week from the nex

41、t.Partly this is because there may be only a dozen moments in your life that show who you are-those are big defining moments. But there are smaller experiences, too, in the context of a memorable holiday, romantic date or work achievement. Once we understand how we remember certain moments and why,

42、we can start to create more moments that matter.1、How does the author understand defining moments?AWe can create defining moments in our lives.BDefining moments are just out of our control.CNo similarities exist between defining moments.DDefining moments consist of smaller experiences.2、We can learn

43、 from the experiment that _.Athe striking moments are more likely to be remembered.Bthe length of an experience determines our memory of itCit is meaningful to distinguish the bits in between flagship moments.Dall the components of an experience should be equally remembered3、What would probably be d

44、iscussed in the following part of the text?AWhat to prepare for lifes trials.BWhy to create defining moments.CWhom to owe our good fates to.DHow to create lifes big moments.25（10分） Laughter is part of the universal human vocabulary. All members of the human species understand it. Unlike English or F

45、rench or Swahili, we dont have to learn to speak it. We re born with the capacity to laugh.Very little is known about the specific brain mechanisms responsible for laughter. Contrary to folk wisdom, most laughter is not about humor; it is about relationships. To find out when and why people laugh, I

46、 went with several assistants to local malls and recorded what happened just before people laughed. Over a 10-year period, we studied over 2,000 cases of naturally occurring laughter.We found that most laughter does not necessarily follow jokes. People may laugh after a variety of statements, such a

47、s, “Here comes Mary,” “How did you do on the test?” or “Do you have a rubber band?” These certainly arent jokes.We believe laughter evolved from the panting (喘氣的) behavior of our ancient ancestors. Today, if we tickle (使發(fā)癢) chimps, they dont laugh. But, instead, they produce a panting sound. Thats t

48、he sound of ape laughter, and its the root of human laughter.Apes laugh in the kinds of situations that lead to human laughter, like games that involve chasing. Other animals produce sounds during play, but they are so different from laughter. Rats, for example, produce high sounds during play and w

49、hen tickled, but these are very different in sound from human laughter.Laughter is often positive, but it can be negative too. Theres a difference between “l(fā)aughing with” and “l(fā)aughing at”. People who laugh at others may be trying to drive them out of the group.No one has actually counted how much p

50、eople of different ages laugh, but young children probably laugh the most. At ages 5 and 6 we probably laugh more than at any other times. Adults laugh less than children, probably because they play less.Work now underway will tell us more about the brain mechanisms behind laughter, how it has evolv

51、ed, and why were so susceptible to tickling.1、What was the purpose of the decades research?ATo prove that people laugh because of humour.BTo find out the real reason for people s laughter.CTo research people s different reaction on jokes.DTo record conversations among shoppers in malls.2、What can we

52、 learn from the text?APeople who play more tend to laugh more.BApes produce high sounds when tickled.CScientists know the brain mechanisms responsible for laughter well.DThe situations in which apes laugh are very different from those in which humans laugh.3、What does the underlined word “susceptibl

53、e” in the last paragraph probably mean?ASensitive.BFlexible.CAddictive.DReliable.4、Which of the following might be the best title for the text?AThe Impact of LaughterBThe Meaning of LaughterCA Big Mystery: Why Do We Laugh?DLaughter: The Most Beautiful Words第三部分 語言知識運用（共兩節(jié)）第一節(jié)（每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短

59、17 with this back-up plan? If you want to be a writer, go for it! Pursue writing!Mr. Ralstons 18 to follow my dreams was the little nudge(推動) I decided to help me push past my 19 of not making it as a writer and simply Go for it!Thats what an encouraging word will do when spoken in love in 20 season
