第一部分：閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，40分）第一節(jié)（共30分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項．

• 1．One Sunday，my family had gathered at my parents' house to feast upon Mom's wonderful cooking．During the normal dinner chatter，I noticed that my father was slurring （說話含混） his words．No one mentioned this during dinner，but I felt compelled to discuss it with my mother afterward．
     We decided that there was something seriously wrong and that Dad needed to see the doctor．
     Mom phoned me two days later． "The doctor found a brain tumor （腫瘤）．It's too large at this point to operate．Maybe they can do something then，but the odds are long．"
     Even with the treatment，my father's condition worsened，and the doctor finally informed us that this condition was terminal．During one of his stays in the hospital，we brought our baby daughter Chelsey with us when we visited him．By this time he had great difficulty speaking．I finally figured out that he wanted Chelsey to sit on his stomach so he could make faces at her．
     Watching the two of them together，I realized I was living an experience that would stay with me forever．Though grateful for the time they could share，I couldn't shake the feeling of a clock ticking in the background．
     On the visit to my parents' home during what we all know was my father's last days，my mother took Chelsey from my arms and announced， "Your father would like to see you alone for a minute．"
     I entered the bedroom where my father lay on a rented hospital bed．He appeared even weaker than the day before．
     "How are you feeling，Dad？" I asked． "Can I do anything for you？"
     He tried to speak，but he couldn't make out a word．
     "I'm sorry，but I can't understand you，" I said．
     With great difficulty he said， "I love you．"
     We don't learn courage from heroes on the evening news．We learn true courage from watching ordinary people rise above hopeless situations．In many ways my father was a strict，uncommunicative man．He found it difficult to show emotion．The bravest thing I ever saw him do was overcome that barrier to open his heart to his son and family at the end of his life．
  
  （1）Which of the following statements is TRUE？

  
  A．The writer accompanied his father to a medical examination．
  B．The writer was quick to notice the strange condition of his father．
  C．The writer's father got worse after the removal of the brain tumor．
  D．The writer's father had known about his illness before the writer discovered it．
  （2）What does the underlined sentence "the odds are long" mean？

  
  A．It takes a long time for Father to recover．
  B．Father needs love and care from his family．
  C．There's little possibility for Father to recover．
  D．They need a proper time to operate on Father．
  （3）The father had never said "I love you" to the writer before because

  ．
  A．he was not so attached to the writer
  B．he was not used to openly showing his emotions
  C．he believed in strictness and punishment
  D．he thought there was no need to tell the writer
  （4）What does the writer attempt to tell us？

  
  A．Life is short，so live your life to the fullest．
  B．Don't wait to see a doctor till it is too late．
  C．Bravely express your love for your family．
  D．We don't often value health until we lose it．

• 2．Throughout childhood，kids are encouraged to take good care of their bodies by getting enough rest，exercising regularly，eating healthful foods，and drinking plenty of water．But recently children and teenagers have been warned to protect their skin．Skin cancer is on the rise among young people．Teens should make some basic lifestyle changes to help slow this trend．
     Melanoma，a skin cancer，is the second most common form of cancer for people aged 15 to 29．Unfortunately，the risk of developing it has increased in recent years．One of the most important causes of melanoma is UV radiation （輻射） damage．Scientists think that some of this damage is directly linked to the use of tanning beds （皮膚美黑床）．Now they have found that these beds produce UVA radiation and UVB radiation，both of which are dangerous．
     Clearly，avoiding tanning beds is one way teens can protect their skin，but they must do more．They need to protect themselves from too much sun exposure as well．They must learn to stay out of the sun in summer．Doctors say that to avoid the harmful rays of the sun，young people should stay indoors between 10 a．m．a(chǎn)nd 2 p．m．，when the rays are the strongest．When teens have to be outdoors during these hours，they should use sunscreen that provides protection from both UVA and UVB rays．
     Protection is the most effective weapon in the battle against melanoma，but paying close attention to the skin is also vital．Melanoma often begins as a mole （痣） on the skin．If it's caught before it spreads below the skin's surface，it's highly curable．Therefore，teens should watch for both new moles and existing moles．If they see anything that looks unusual，they should visit a skin doctor right away．
     Teens who continue to bake in the sun to achieve that perfect tan should realize the potential consequences of their behavior．Is a sun-kissed look really worth the risk of melanoma？It's not too late to change your habits and reduce your exposure to harmful UV rays．Take action now to protect your skin and avoid this deadly disease later．
  
  （1）Teens are warned to protect their skin because

  ．
  A．their lifestyles are not healthy
  B．skin helps slow the radiation damage
  C．skin cancer is growing among teenagers
  D．they spend longer time staying outdoors
  （2）In Paragraph 2，the author mainly talks about

  of melanoma．
  A．the cause
  B．the prevention
  C．the symptom
  D．the treatment
  （3）

  is the effective protection of skin．
  A．Using tanning beds
  B．Eating more healthful foods
  C．Visiting a skin doctor frequently
  D．Reducing exposure to strong UV rays

• 3．The biggest criticism （批評） of social networking is that our young people are losing their offline friends to online friends．In fact there is a lot of research that shows these criticisms are generally unfounded．Research by Allen et al．found that people are not replacing offline friends with online companions but are using them to support their offline relationships．They also found that our online friendships actually allow us to have discussions with a much more diverse set of people than in the real world and improve our psychological happiness．
     However，there is one part of social networking that is deeply worrying．We find ourselves in a hyper-connected world where people access social media day and night，excited to make announcements about the tiniest details of their lives．Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character．
     Professor Larry D．Rosen，in his book iDisorder，presents evidence that social networking is turning us into narcissists （自戀者）．He says that young people who overuse social networking sites can become vain，aggressive，and show anti-social behavior in their offline lives．But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing--empathy．This is the emotion that bonds us together；it allows us to see the world from our friends' points of view．Without it，we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships．
     Sherry Turkle，a professor of social sciences at MIT，suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone．This is something confirmed by a study where 200 university students were asked to go without social media for 24 hours．Many admitted an addiction to their online social network；most complained that they felt cut off from family and friends．But being alone is a time，Turkle argues，when we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are．It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others．She believes，as is the title of her 2011 book，that we are simply "Alone Together．"
     These potential changes in our characters are rather disturbing．If nothing is done，our young people could well be in trouble．Therefore，suggestions about ways to encourage our young people to avoid the problems of social networking should be made，so they can develop the kinds of friendships that are required to grow into well-adjusted and happy adults．
  
  （1）The underlined word "unfounded" in Paragraph 1 probably means

  ．
  A．undoubted
  B．false
  C．a(chǎn)cceptable
  D．illegal
  （2）In this passage，the author mainly argues that

  ．
  A．internet culture causes various problems
  B．we are losing some most important emotions
  C．online friendships do good to offline friendships
  D．social networking affects young people's personalities
  （3）By the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4，Turkle probably means

  ．
  A．we rely on social network for connection
  B．being alone is necessary for being together
  C．being alone makes us know ourselves better
  D．we hardly communicate while being together
  （4）From the passage，we can learn that

  ．
  A．we are becoming unable to understand others well
  B．young people will develop offline friendships
  C．young people can't go without social media
  D．social media have more advantages

• 4．There is no doubt eCommerce is growing，and it will continue to grow．However，physical stores would not die as a result of the rise of eCommerce，at least not in the near future．The idea that eCommerce is taking over physical stores has already misguided many people．Physical stores are far from vanishing，and there are some solid reasons for it．
     The projections for online spending is optimistic with＄150 billion expected to be spent in the coming three years，yet we are also expecting＄300 billion in spending at physical stores in the same duration．Do you still think that physical-store shopping is too small to sustain the eCommerce blow？
     Even though consumers are staying away from physical stores that follow older concepts，yet we are seeing the rise of fresh concept stores all around the US．We are seeing innovative and attractive success stories of physical stores，ranging from clothes stores to restaurants to health spas．It would be easy to assume that this trend will continue．
     Indeed，many shopping malls are dying，yet there are still those shopping centers that are performing well．You can see this for yourself by visiting shopping malls near you．What I want to emphasize here is that not all shopping centers are made equal，just like not all eCommerce retailers are made equal．Both shopping malls and eCommerce sites can lose business if they fail to maintain productivity through improvements and innovations．When you visit shopping centers that are serious about their business，you would see their shops and parking lots packed．
     On the other hand，even e-tailers like Amazon have experimented with pop-up shopping concepts．It is important to bear in mind that consumers prefer face-to-face interactions instead of online interactions during shopping，meaning that physical stores are going to stay there．
     Still，eCommerce retailers are seeing all of their excitement disappear as they settle the sales tax problem associated with e-tailing．As of now，five states of America have already imposed sales tax on purchases through eCommerce sites，and e-tailers in those states have already witnessed 6 to 12 percent decrease in sales．
     This reinforces the fact that physical stores are here to stay，and if you are still undervaluing their growth，you are omitting a huge chunk of the retail representation．
  
  （1）The underlined word "projections" in Paragraph 2 probably means

  ．
  A．intentions
  B．a(chǎn)ssessments
  C．performances
  D．predictions
  （2）What can we infer from the passage？

  
  A．E-tailers are more creative businesses．
  B．Fresh concepts help build good business．
  C．Fewer consumers will visit physical stores．
  D．Physical stores can't stand the blow of eCommerce．
  （3）What is the best title for this passage？

  
  A．Is Offline Spending Greater Than Online Spending？
  B．Online Stores V．S．Physical Stores-What's the Difference？
  C．Will Physical Stores replace eCommerce in the Near Future？
  D．Does eCommerce Success Mean Physical Stores Will Disappear？
  （4）Which of the following shows the development of the passage？（CP：Central Point P：Point Sp：Sub-point （次要點(diǎn)） C：Conclusion）

  
  

  A．

• 5．Is My Dog a Wolf？
     In the old days wolves and dogs shared the same ancestor． （1）

  ．And wolves stayed wolves．Even though it has been thousands of years since dogs have been wild，many things a dog does by instinct （本能） a wolf also does．
     Why does my dog chew my stuff？
     It's not because he's mad at you．The baby wolf chews on a deer bone for several reasons．There is some small nutritional value gained by chewing bones． （2）

  ．But mostly，it is just fun and tastes good．Most of us don't leave deer bones lying around the house，so table legs，shoes，and sticks probably seem like good bone replacements．Many dogs get scared or bored when they are left alone，and chewing on something can be comforting and entertaining to them．（3）

  ．So when he eats your homework，it really means he misses having you around．
     Why does my dog play with dirt？
     （4）

  ．Wolves dig holes to hide leftover food and bones，so they'll have a nice snack for later．Some dig to catch small underground animals，which make tasty snacks．Or they dig to create a cool hole to lie in during the summer…or a warm snow cave in the winter．Adult wolves dig underground caves for their babies to provide shelter and safety．Dogs may dig for some of the same reasons，but one thing is for sure：newly dug dirt has all sorts of interesting smells which they are crazy about．
     Once you understand that dogs and wolves are similar，you can look at the ways they are different．In the wild，wolves live by wolf rules．Most of their days are spent caring for the young，resting，and hunting． （5）

  ．Their willingness to do this is probably the biggest difference between the two species．That's why dogs can become human's friends while wolves never．
  
  A．Dogs，however，must live by people rules both inside and outside the home．
  B．If that "something" smells like you，it is all the more attractive．
  C．Digging is a survival tool for wolves，but it's just fun for dogs．
  D．Gradually，dogs changed to become their own species．
  E．Wolf and dog noses also do more than just smell．
  F．It is also the way wolves brush their teeth．
  G．How are they different？

  Almost 400 years ago， an Italian scientist names Galileo（伽利略） began to question Aristotle's（亞里斯多德） theories of falling objects． He was not ready to believe anything just because Aristotle said so． He decided to do some experiments test Aristotle's theory． Galileo lived in a city of Pisa， which there is a leaning tower about 180 feet in height． From the top of the tower Galileo dropped a light ball and a heavy ball at exact the same time． They both fell at about the same speed and hit the ground together． As we know it now， heavy objects and light objects fall at the same speed if air holds them back． A feather falls slower than a stone only because the air holds the feather back more than it did the stone．
