B Weaving hammocks（吊床） is an art that takes a sharp eye, a skilled hand and lots of patience. But in Lenwood Haddocks case, being blind works to his advantage
18、. His trained, sensitive hands can perfectly handle every step of the complicated process. Since beginning his craft in 1986, Lenwood has woven about 145,000 perfect hammocks. Now 61, Lenwood lost his sight in 1973, at age 18, during a hunting accident. “My whole worki ng career has been blind,” he
19、says. He first found a job as a woodworker, but when that organization closed, the North Carolina Division of Services for the Blind connected him with Hatteras Hammocks. On his first day of work, “I did a total of one ham mock,” Lenwood recalls, laughing. “And then I came home and laid on the sofa
20、and went to sleep. I lift weights, but I wasnt as tough as I thought until I started weaving. It takes a lot of energy, and youre standing up all day.” In time, however, Lenwood got into a good working rhythm and found he had a gift 5 for the job. At first he worked on-site at the company, but after
21、 a year Lenwood moved his operation to the home workshop where hed worked for 10 years during his woodworking days. Since Lenwood began with Hatteras Hammocks 30 years ago, the company has acquired other brands and changed its name to The Hammock Source. Today, it is the worlds largest maker and sel
22、ler of hammocks, all built by hand. 24. How old was Lenwood Haddock when he began weaving hammocks? A. 18 years old. B. 26 years old. C. 31 years old. D. 61 years old. 25.

23、 Which of the following is needed in weaving hammocks? A. Poor eyesight. B. Sensitive mind. C. Untrained craft. D.Full patience. 27. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Success of the Hammock Source Company B. The Blind Craftsman Who Makes Perfect Hammocks C. How to Weave Perfect Hammocks
24、by Hand D. How to Become a Successful Craftsman C Integrity Integrity is the quality of being honest and strong about what you believe to be right. The concept of integrity has played a key role in moral philosophy throughout history and is promoted in all societies because of its importance to soci
25、al relations. Individual integrity is vital to society, one that enables people to make use of their capacity for critical reflection, does not force people to take up particular roles and does not encourage individuals to betray each other. Besides, societies can be favorable to the development of
26、individual integrity. Individual integrity can lift up the spirits of the entire society. It can shape the lives of people living in a particular society, the lives of all fellow people and, in its broadest sense, even the destiny(命运 ) of a nation. By contrast, if those living in the society are cor
27、rupt(腐败的 ), it could have bad effects, jeopardizing the healthy morality of the society. On the other hand, a society can be favorable to the development of individual 6 integrity. Society expects and requires integrity. A society consisting of people of integrity, and people who never compromise on
28、 their principles, could have a positive mark on the personal development of its members. Being a part of such a morally lively community could serve as a basis for absorbing traits(特性 ) of good character. This could be of a distinct advantage to any individuals in the society. However, some social
29、structures are of the wrong sort for some individuals to pursue integrity. If that is the case, we have to ask questions about the moral nature of society first before raising questions about individual integrity. Questions about integrity may turn out to be about what kind of society it is, rather
30、than about the relationship between individual interests and characteristics of a society. The pursuit of adequate individual integrity often depends, not so much on understanding who one is and what one believes and is committed to, but rather understanding what ones society is and imagining what i
31、t could be. Under no circumstances can we underestimate the importance of human integrity in a society. People, who are honest, trustworthy, compassionate and caring, are the factors decisive in the growth of individuals as well as the development of a society. 28. Individual integrity has been valu
32、ed in society because _. A. it helps develop philosophy B. it is important to social relations C. it is the basis of critical thinking D. it ensures people s particular roles 29. The underlined word “jeopardizing” in Paragraph 4 probably means _. A. assessing B. strengthening C. destroying D. influe
33、ncing 30. The writer believes that _. A. individual integrity depends on what one believes B. the nature of society is decided by economic development C. the pursuit of individual integrity changes with time D. social structures guide the formation of individual integrity 31. Which of the following
34、shows the development of ideas in this passage? 7 A. B. C. D. CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点 ) C： Conclusion D Runners who encounter visual and auditory(听觉的 ) distractions(分心 ) may be more likely to suffer leg injuries, according to a research by the Association of Academic Physiatrist
35、s in Las Vegas. Runners often seek distractions from the task at hand. Whether it is music, texting, daydreaming, taking in the sights, or propping a book up on the treadmill(跑步机 ), more often than not a distraction is welcome. But, researchers from the University of Florida have recently discovered
36、 that those distractions may lead to injury. Daniel Herman, MD, PhD, assistant professor at University of Florida, and his team conducted a research on the effect of visual and auditory distractions on 14 runners to determine what effect, if any, these distractions would have on things such as heart
37、 rate, how much a runner breathes per minute, how much oxygen is consumed by the body, the speed in which runners apply force to their bodies, and the force the ground applies to the runners bodies when t hey come in contact with it. The runners were all injury free at the time of the study and ran
38、31 miles each week. Dr. Hermans team had each participant run on a treadmill three separate times. The first time was without any distractions. The second time added a visual distraction, during which the runners concentrated on a screen displaying different letters in different colors with the runn
39、ers having to note when a specific letter-color combination appeared. The third time added an auditory distraction similar to the visual distraction, with the runners having to note when a particular 8 word was spoken by a particular voice. When compared to running without distractions, the particip
40、ants had faster application of force to their left and right legs, called loading rate, with auditory and visual distractions. They also experienced an increased amount of force from the ground on both legs, called ground reaction force, with auditory distractions. Finally, the runners tended to bre
41、athe heavier and have higher heart rates with visual and auditory distractions than without any distractions at all. “Running in environments with different distractions may unfavorably affect running performance and injury risk,” explains Dr. Herman. “Sometimes these things cannot be avoided, but y
42、ou may be able to minimize potentially cumulative(累积的 ) effects. For example, when running a new route in a noisy environment such as during a destination marathon, you may want to skip listening to something which may require more attention like a new song playlist.” Dr. Hermans team will continue
43、to inv estigate the potential relationship between distracted running and leg injuries, and any effect this relationship has on different training techniques that use auditory or visual cues. 32. Paragraph 2 tells us the research _. A. process B. results C. questions D. reflection 33. Based on the r
44、esearch, runners with auditory distractions tended to _. A. breathe heavier and have lower heart rates B. get an increased amount of ground reaction force C. apply more force with less oxygen consumption D. gain a faster speed with slower loading rates 34. What can we infer from the passage? A. Runn
45、ing with distractions becomes uncommon nowadays. B. Listening to a new song while running guarantees performance. C. Runners are more likely to get injured in an environment without distractions. D. Runners are advised to minimize distractions in a destination marathon. 35. What is probably the next
46、 task for Dr. Hermans team? A. What determines training techniques. B. How distractions should be used in training. C. Why runners use auditory and visual cues. D. What effective ways can cure leg injuries. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 9 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Personally, I belie
47、ve that the female brain is mainly built for empathy the ability to understand other people and that the male brain is mainly built for building systems. 36 For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines featuring computers and sport. Y
48、ou may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up. However, this is not the case. A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and newborn boys look longer at a mobile. 37 It has also been observed that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other peoples feelings. Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys having clear functions. 38
