10、 a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not. In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said， “Mrs. Smith, you se
11、e, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didnt finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story
12、suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldnt get much education. But Louis didnt give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind. Wasnt I the “blind
13、” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give
14、up?I didnt expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next daywith an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these inspiring words：“See what you can do when you keep trying？”21. The author didnt finish the reading in class beca

17、ated with respect. D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges. BLife can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks (挫折) and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desiresthat little something more we w
18、ant for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱) that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place. This tension between what we feel we can have and
19、 what were seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人的) suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think its easier to just give up. But were never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is usthe real us. Its the part that bel
20、ieves in life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little “dead” inside because youre dropping “you”. So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck, how do we break these patterns?Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good ad
21、vice for a new adventure or just getting through todays challenges. While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mindor the minds of those close to ususually says we cant. That isnt a reason to stop; its just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something aga
22、in. It has done it many times before. Its all about starting simple and doing it now. Decide and act before overthinking.

25、A. Its important to learn to accept sufferings in lifeB. Its easier than we think to get what we want. C. Its impractical to change our way of thinking. D. Its harder than we expect to follow a new course. CScience has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help
26、 bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that theres always a temptation(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character，and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of write
27、rs who have failed to resist the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed abou
28、t human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others arent?To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines(学科). Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his boo
29、k in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the readers attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear a
30、bout the science of child development, and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole，Brookss story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair,
31、some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brook
32、ss attempt to translate his tale into science.29. The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to_Aexplain why many writers use science in their worksBdemonstrate the value of Brookss new bookCremind the reader of the importance of scienceDillustrate where science can
33、 be applied 30. According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?AIts strong basis. BIts clear writing.CIts convincing points. DIts memorable characters.31. What is the authors general attitude towards the book?AContradictory. BSupportive. CCritical. DCautious.32. What
34、 is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?ABrookss translation skills. BBrookss life experiences.CDeath of the characters. DProblems with the book.DBefore I had my son, I spent two years working with children with disabilities. I learnt that shouting and threats of punishment wou
35、ld result in a disaster. Coming up against their behaviour could only make the job harder and their behaviour more extreme. I found something that worked, though.There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of h
36、im. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying property.I was in the craft room working with some other children when my coworker told me that this boys te
37、acher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my coworker that I would take care of him.I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He ne
38、eded connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation：“So what happened today？” It was purely a
39、question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didnt let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed maki
40、ng her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and wa
41、s quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize. 33.

42、didnt want to make it worse. D. She hadnt thought of a coping strategy.34.

43、 in the end? A. He was regretful about his behaviour. B. He was sorry about his reputation.C. He was fearful of the authors warning. D. He was sad for the authors misunderstanding.第二节 （共 5 小题，每题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从段短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips for cooking on a tight schedule From my experi
