I work as a volunteer（志愿者）for an organization that helps the poor in
Haiti. Recently I took my son Barrett there for a week, hoping to 16 him.
Before setting out, I told Barrett this trip would be tiring and 17. For
the first two days, he said almost nothing. I worried the trip was too 18
for a 17-year-old. Then, on day three, as we were 19 over high rocky
mountains, he turned to me and grinned（咧嘴笑）, “Pretty hard. ”
After that there was no turning back. A five-year-old girl, wearing a
dress several sizes 20 large and broken shoes, followed Barrett around,
mesmerized （着迷） . He couldn’t stop 21 . Later he said 22. “I wish I could
speak French.” I was 23 －this from a boy who hated and 24 French classes
throughout school.
Usually silent, he 25 Gaby, our host, and kept asking questions about the
country and its people. He blossomed（活泼起来）.
26 , the moment that really took 27 breath away occurred in a village deep
in the mountains. I was 28 a woman villager for an article. 135
centimeters tall, she was small in figure but strong in 29 . Through
determination, she had learned to read and write, and 30 to become part of
the leadership of the 31 .
Learning her story, Barrett was as 32 as I by this tiny woman’s
achievements. His eyes were wet and there was a 33 of love and respect on
his face. He had finally understood the importance of my work.
When leaving for home, Barrett even offered to stay 34 as a volunteer. My

第二部分：阅读理解（共 20 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 40 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
If you are lost in the mountains, stay calm in the face of darkness,
loneliness, and the unknown. It will greatly increase your chances of
survival（生存）. Many people think that preparing necessary equipment and
knowing how to use it are very important, but actually eighty percent of
mountain survival is your reaction to fear.
Find a hiding place.
Unnecessary labor will make you sweat and make you cold. Find a hiding
place around you before trying to start your own construction. If you are
in a snow-covered area, you may be able to dig a cave in deep snow for
protection from the wind. You should try to hide yourself in the middle of
the mountain if possible. Stay out of the valleys－cold air falls, and the
valley floor can be the coldest area on the mountain.
Signal rescuers for help.
The best time to signal rescuers is during the day. Signal for help from
the highest point possible－it will be easier for rescuers to see you, and
any sound you make will travel farther. If you take a box of matches and a
space blanket（a special blanket for traveling）, build three smoky fires
and put your blanket－gold side facing out－on the ground.
Do not walk away.
It will make finding you more difficult, as search teams will be trying to
follow your path and may miss you if you have gone off in a different
direction. Searchers often end up finding a car with no one in it.
If you get frostbite（冻伤）, do not rewarm the affected area until you’re out
of danger.
You can walk on frostbitten feet, but once you warm the area and can feel
the pain, you will not want to walk anywhere. Try to protect the
frostbitten area and keep it dry until you are rescued.
36．When lost in the mountains, you can increase your chances of survival
if you ______.
A．take a space blanket with you
B．do more physical labor
C．try to find a car immediately
D．walk as far as possible to find help
37．According to the passage, people most probably fail to survive if they
______.
A．do not take enough equipment
B．stay in the middle of the mountain
C．do not keep themselves warm
D．stay in a snow-covered area
38．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Don’t travel by yourself.
B．Mountain traveling is dangerous.
C．Don’t get frightened in danger.
D．Avoid going to unfamiliar place.

B
At a few minutes past five. Dave noted that the blanker of darkness was
lifting. He was just able to make out the heavier masses that eventually
appeared as the familiar trees that lined the road at the base of the
hill. The upper reaches of the sky showed lighter shades of gray.
Dave got out of bed quietly and dressed quickly. He mixed a spoonful of
instant chocolate into a glass of cold water, and his impatience forced
him to finish the drink in gulps.
As he walked down toward the lake, Dave paused to reach for the fishing
pole and gear box on the bench where he had left them the night before.
By the time he reached the small boat, a thick white mist（雾气）had spread
over the surface of the water. He stepped into the boat, sat down, and
rowed out of the weed beds that lined the edge of the shore.
The outer fringe （边缘） of the lake disappeared as the boat moved forward
noiselessly. All he could see was the enveloping whiteness. He could not
tell where the boat and the surrounding air met the surface of the lake.
Dave rowed steadily ahead, relying on a mental picture of the
surroundings. Then the mist began to rise, slowly. It soon rested inches
above the still surface of the lake. The heavy silence was now being
broken by the fish breaking through the surface as they leaped out of the
water for low-flying insects.
The magic time had arrived. Dave raised his pole. Dawn was broken. He was
excited with expectancy.
39．Dave got up early in the morning to ______.
A．enjoy the scene of the lake
B．seek adventure at the lake
C．go fishing in the lake
D．take a walk by the lake
40．According to the story, which of the following is TRUE?
A．Dave broke the quietness of the lake.
B．Dave was familiar with the surroundings.
C．Dave took a picture of the lake with him.
D．Dave forgot the fishing pole at the beginning.
41．The underlined word“It” in Paragraph 6 refers to ______.
A．fish
B．boat
C．silence
D．mist
42．What can we learn from the end of the story?
A．Dave was hopeful of catching a lot of fish.
B．Dave wished the weather would be better.
C．Dave was happy that dawn was broken.
D．Dave expected someone else would come.

C
Some children are natural-born bosses. They have a strong need to make
decisions, manage their environment, and lead rather than follow. Stephen
Jackson, a Year One student, “operates under the theory of what’s mine is
mine and what’s yours is mine.” Says his mother. “The other day I bought
two new Star Wars light sabers （剑） .Later, I saw Stephen with the two new
ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones.”
“Examine the extended family, and you’ll probably find a bossy
grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in every generation. It’s an
inheritable trait.” Says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical
University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly
bossy can gradually gain dominance（支配地位）when they sense their parents are
weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other.
Whether it’s inborn nature or developed character at work, too much
control in the hands of the young isn’t healthy for children or the
family. Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior, says family
psychologist John Taylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to
Cooperation, “have secret feelings of weakness” and “a desire to feel
safe.” It’s the parents’ role to provide that protection.
When a “boss child” doesn’t learn limits at home, the stage is set for a
host of troubles outside the family. The overly willful and unbending
child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or
trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one
likes your bossy ways.
“I see more and more parents giving up their power,” says Barkley, who has
studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years. “They bend too far because
they don’t want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also
fell less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn,
feel more anxious.”
43．Bossy children like Stephen Jackson ______.
A．make good decisions
B．show self-centeredness
C．lack care from others
D．Have little sense o fear
44．The underlined phrase“inheritable trait” in Paragraph 2 means ______.
A．inborn nature
B．developed character
C．accepted theory
D．particular environment
45．The study on bossy behavior implies that parents ______.
A．should give more power to their children
B．should be strict with their children
C．should not be so anxious about their children
D．should not set limits for their children
46．Bossy children may probably become ______.
A．relaxed
B．skillful
C．hesitant
D．lonely
47．What is the passage mainly about?
A．How bossy behavior can be controlled.
B．How we can get along with bossy children.
C．What leads to children’s bossy behavior.
D．What effect bossy behavior brings about.

D
Researchers are placing robotic dogs（机器狗）in the homes of lonely old people
to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan
Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a
professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the
influence of robotic dogs on old pelple’s depression, physical activity,
and life satisfaction. “No one will argue that an older person is better
off being more active, challenged, or stimulated（刺激）,” Edwards points out.
“The problem is how we promote （使……成为现实） that, especially for those
without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution.”
In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the
houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home,
researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old people
will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after
AIBO. Then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has
inspired any changes in the life of its owner.
“I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a
seventy-year-old lady. “When I’m watching TV. he’ll stay in my arms until
he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”
The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some
advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly
are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with
it . A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.
“At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic
dog, because it was metal and not furry, ”Beck says. “But it’s amazing how
quickly we have given up that belief.”
“Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more-valuable
health helper. They will record their masters’ blood pressure. oxygen
levels, or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help
stimulate older people’s minds. ”
48．The purpose of Beck and Edwards’ study is to ______.
A．understand human-animal relationship
B．make lonely old people’s life better
C．find the causes of old people’s loneliness
D．promote the animal-assisted research
49．In the research, the old people are asked to ______.
A．note the activities of AIBOs
B．keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks
C．record their feelings and activity.
D．analyze the collected information
50．What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?
A．It is easier to keep at home.
B．It can help the disabled people.
C．It responds to all the human order.
D．It can watch TV with its owner.
51．The author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may ________.
A．cure certain diseases
B．keep old people active
C．change people’s beliefs
D．look more like real dogs

Attitude is an internal(内在的) state that influences the choices of personal
action made by the individual(个人). Some researchers consider that
attitudes come from differences between beliefs and ideas: others believe
that attitudes come from emotional states. Here, we focus on the effects
of attitudes upon behavior, that is, upon the choices of action made by
the individual.
The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously influenced
greatly by attitudes. Whether one listens to classical music or rock,
whether one obeys the speed limit while driving, whether one encourages
one’s husband or wife to express his or her own ideas－all are influenced
by attitudes. These internal states are acquired(获得) throughout life from
situations one is faced with in the home, in the streets, and in the
school.
Of course, the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation
will be largely determined by the particulars of that situation. An
individual who has a strong attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast
when he is in a hurry and no police cars in sight. A child who has a
strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny when she thinks no one will
notice. But the internal state hich remains unchanged over a period of
time, and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of
situations, is what is meant by an attitude.
Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single
incidents, as when an attitude toward snakes is acquired by an experience
in childhood at the sudden movement of a snake. They can result from the
individual’s experiences of success and pleasure, as when someone acquires
a positive attitude toward doing crossword puzzles by being able to
complete some of them, and frequently, they are learned by copying other
people’s behavior, as when a child learns how to behave toward foreigners
by observing the actions of his parents. Regardless of these differences,
there is something in common in the learning and modification(修正) of
attitudes.
52．According to the passage, attitudes __________.
A．come from different situations in one’s life
B．are largely affected by one’s behavior
C．remain unchanged in one’s daily life
D．could be chosen according to one’s will
53．The author uses the examples in Paragraph 3 to show ______.
A．people often make mistakes when they are not noticed
B．people with good attitudes may sometimes do bad deeds
C．particulars of a situation may influence an individual’s action
D．an individual may change his or her attitude fairly easily
54．Which of the following is TURE about the learning of attitudes?
A．Attitudes are only learned through one’s success.
B．Attitudes learned in danger will last longer.
C．Copying others’ behavior is not a good idea.
D．Attitudes can be learned from one’s parents.
55．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Differences of Attitudes.
B．Nature of Attitude.
