B. Jack, who wants to become a sports coach.
C. Joe, who expects to travel around the world.
D. Jim, who loves to take part in sports competitions.
Jim found himself exhausted during a trip. When he came home, he went to see a doctor. “The reason I was tired, ” Jim says, “was that my kidneys (肾脏)were gone. ”
Jim, 69, a former Air Force pilot, immediately started dialysis(透析) three days a week. A person of his age on dialysis usually lives only about four years. Transplants are a long-shot alternative. The National Kidney Foundation estimates that 13 people die every day while waiting for a donor with the right blood and tissue types.
Jim’s wife, nephew and four family friends offered but weren’t a match. Jim was so discouraged that he was even considering not attending a reunion of some Air Force buddies(铁哥们). But his wife encouraged him to reunite with his old friends, among whom was one he hadn’t seen in 50 years: Doug Coffman. The two had met when they both were learning Vietnamese before they went overseas.
Doug, then 70, felt a strong bond with his band of brothers, even though he hadn’t seen some of them in decades. Their connection went beyond the battlefield in ways most soldiers never experience.
Doug had received help from his friends when he was in trouble, so he felt like it was a time that he could pay that ahead by donating a kidney to Jim. Fortunately, series of testing revealed not only that Doug’s tissue type matched Jim’s but also that he had the kidneys of a 35-year-old.
The transplant was a success. “It’s pretty miraculous to be able to take an organ out of one person’s body—a living organ—put it in another person’s body, and have it work, ” Doug says. “And there’s nothing finer than knowing I’ve helped another person live a better life. ”
4、From this text we know that Kidney transplant is ________.
A. Expensive B. dangerous C. a matter of luck D. an unwise choice
5、How old was Jim when he went overseas

There have been many studies that show being in nature is good for your health. Walking in the woods is good for your well-being. Living near trees can help you live longer. But when you go for a walk in the woods, what is it particularly about being in nature or being outdoors that makes you feel good Is it the sights or smells or sounds A new study finds it might have something to do with the birds you hear while you have a walk.
Researchers from California Polytechnic State University analyzed how much the natural sounds people hear when they’re outdoors influence well-being. They found that the “chorus (合唱)” of birds singing increased well-being in protected natural areas.
For the study, researchers placed 10 hidden, evenly spaced speakers(扬声器) on two parts of trails(小路) in the Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks in Colorado. They played recorded songs from 11 kinds of birds. The researchers take turns to play the birdsong for a few hours a day for a week, and then turned off the speakers for a week at a time. They interviewed hikers after they passed through the areas with the speakers.
“The main result is that hikers that heard the birdsong responded to questions that showed a higher level of well-being compared to those that did not hear the birdsong,” Biology Professor Clinton Francis, who led the research, says.
Hikers who heard more birdsong on the first part of the trail said they felt better. Those who heard more birdsong on the second part reported that they thought more birds lived along that part of the trail. This feeling of more birds helps make the hikers feel better. “With the chorus, we were able to show that natural sounds have a clear effect on the quality of hikers’ experiences,” says Francis.
8、What’s the function of the questions in paragraph 1
A. To bring in the topic of the text. B. To advise people to walk in nature.
C. To call on people to care about nature. D. To raise doubt about the research done before.
9、Why were the speakers placed along the trails
A. To broadcast chorus live. B. To remind hikers of their health.
C. To improve people’s well-being. D. To play sounds of different birds.
10、What was the final step of the research
A. Recording. B. Comparing. C. Photographing. D. Interviewing.
11、What is the best title for the text
A. Being in nature is good for people’s heath.
B. Walking in forests help people live longer.
C. Hearing birdsongs is good for people’s health.
D. Raising birds improves people’s living quality.
A team of researchers has found how to use math to study paintings to learn more about how the art developed in the western world. In their paper published in Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences, the group describes how they scanned thousands of paintings and then used mathematical algorithms (算法) to find commonalities between them over time.
Beauty, as the saying goes, is in the eye of the beholder — and so it is also with art. Two people looking at the same painting can walk away with vastly different impressions. The study of art history can serve as a channel — casting light on societal trends over time. The re-searchers further note that to date, most studies of art history have been qualitatively (定性地) based, which has led to the results with prejudice, To overcome it, the researchers with this new effort look to math to see if it might be useful in uncovering features of paintings that have been overlooked by human scholars.
The work involved digitally scanning 14, 912 paintings — all of which ( except for two ) were painted by Western artists. The data for each of the paintings was then sent through a mathematical algorithm that drew partitions on the digital images based on contrasting colors. The researchers ran the algorithm on each painting multiple times, each time creating more sections to study. For example, the first run of the algorithm might have simply created two sections on a painting — everything on land and everything in the sky. The second might have split the land into buildings in one section and farmland in another.
The researchers then ran other algorithms designed to look for patterns between the paintings. Doing so allowed them to see trends like painting styles that predominated during certain eras and long-term trends, such as the placement of the horizon (地平线). The researchers found that over the past several hundred years, painters have been placing it increasingly higher. In the 17th century, the separation between Earth and sky dominated landscapes — those done in more modern times, in sharp contrast, have the horizon very near the top of the painting.
12、Which of the following is the finding of the researchers
A. A way to research paintings. B. The development of western art.
C. The similarities between art and math. D. A scientific paper on painting and math.
13、What did the researchers expect to do with math
A. Deepen the impression of paintings.
B. Uncover the features of human scholars.
C. Make a more objective study of paintings.
D. Interpret the results of painting qualitatively.
14、How were the algorithms carried out
A. By observing buildings and farmland.
B. By linking land paintings with sky paintings.
C. By analyzing the various parts of the paintings.
D. By classifying the different colors of the paintings.
15、What can we learn about the location of the horizon in the painting
A. It has varied over time.
B. It is always very near the top.
C. It was only placed at the bottom in the 17th century.
D. It has not changed over the past several hundred years.

三、完形填空（20空）
I consider myself something of an expert on apologies. A quick temper has 1 me with plenty of opportunities to make them. In one of my earliest 2 , my mother is telling me, “Don’t watch the 3 when you say ‘I’m sorry’. Hold your head up and look the person in the 4 , so he’ll know you 5 it.”
My mother thus made the key point of a(n) 6 apology: it must be direct. You must never 7 to be doing something else. You do not 8 a pile of letters while apologizing to a person 9 in position after blaming (责备) him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your 10 . You do not apologize to a hostess(女主人), whose guest of honor you treat 11 , by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad 12 .
One of the important things you should do for an 13 apology is readiness to 14 the responsibility(责任) for our careless mistakes. We are used to making excuses, which leaves no 15 for the other person to 16 us. Since most people are open-hearted, the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling 17 about themselves. That, after all, is the 18 of every apology. It 19 little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly at fault: answering for(对……负责) one’s 20 encourages others to take their share of the blame.
17、A. provided B. mixed C. compared D. treated
18、A. dreams B. courses C. memories D. ideas
19、A. side B. ground C. wall D. bottom
20、A. mind B. soul C. face D. eye
21、A. imagine B. enjoy C. mean D. regret
22、A. useful B. successful C. equal D. basic
23、A. pretend B. forget C. refuse D. expect
24、A. hold on B. put away C. look through D. pick up
25、A. poorer B. weaker C. worse D. lower
26、A. fault B. reason C. result D. duty
27、A. cruelly B. freely C. roughly D. foolishly
28、A. manners B. excuses C. efforts D. roles
29、A. active B. effective C. extra D. easy
30、A. raise B. perform C. admit D. bear
31、A. situation B. need C. sign D. room
32、A. advise B. forgive C. warn D. blame
33、A. wiser B. warmer C. better D. cleverer

Nowadays Senior 3 students are generally faced with a lot of pressure, that is rather common. To reduce it, the following suggestion may help. First of all, know exactly what lead to your pressure, and then you can take measures to deal with it. Secondly, set a goal that is not too high. In the other words, don’t put too many pressure on yourself. Thirdly, find a way to relax yourself occasionally. For example, you can listen music, go swimming or just simple go walking. Eventually, make friends with others, such as your classmates, your teachers and our parents. They will understand you and come to your help when you were really in trouble. In a word, never get yourself sticking in the pressure, for “impossible is nothing”.

③上文“Many people are not aware of the problems caused by the crime.(许多人没有意识到盗用身份造成的问题)”说明人们并未意识到盗用身份带来的危害，E项“They wake up from their carefree attitude only when they become a victim and suffer the damages caused by the crime.(只有当他们成为受害者并遭受犯罪所造成的损害时，他们才会从无忧无虑的态度中觉醒)”讲只有成为受害者后才会意识到问题的严重性，与上文语意相关，且句中“wake up”与上文“not aware of”形成对比。故选E项。
④根据下文“This is why it is of importance that every person should become cautious when using the Internet. The following tips may prevent you from identity theft.(这就是每个人在使用互联网时都应该谨慎的原因。以下建议可能会防止你的身份被盗窃)”可知，本段讲使用互联网应谨慎，要防止你的身份被盗用，F 项“There is no cure for identity theft except prevention.(预防是阻止身份盗用犯罪的唯一办法)”讲阻止身份盗用犯罪的唯一办法是“预防”，是下文“every person should become cautious when using the Internet”的原因，并引出关于“prevent you from identity theft”的建议。故选F项。
⑤根据下文“Your date of birth, names of schools attended, phone number or the names of your parents are often required to verify an identity, and thieves can use this information, too.(你的出生日期、就读学校的名字、电话号码或你父母的名字经常被要求用来验证身份，身份盗用罪犯也可以使用这些信息) ”可知，犯罪分子会盗用个人信息，所以作者的第二建议应该是不要泄露你的个人信息，B项“Give away your personal information on social networking sites with the utmost caution.(在社交网站上泄露你的个人信息时要格外小心)”符合语境。故选B项。

37、答案：①happiness②when③on④have been marked⑤printed⑥a⑦commonly⑧represents⑨its⑩performing
解析：①happiness.考查名词的数。句意：它可以用来表示幸福，这里用名词形式happiness作动词show的宾语，表示抽象概念，为不可数名词，故填happiness.
②when.考查定语从句。句意：这一天会有特别的事情发生。先行词为day，在定语从句中作时间状语，所以用when引导，故填when.
③on.考查介词。句意：这个表达可能是基于教堂的习俗。be based on基于，故填on.
④have been marked.考查时态语态。句意：近六百年来，教堂日历都用红色标记以表示特殊的神圣日子。根据时间状语For almost six hundred years，可知用现在完成时态，根据固定搭配be marked with标志着，可知用被动语态，主语为复数名词，故填have been marked .
⑤printed.考查过去分词。句意：今天的日历仍然用红色标出节日和特殊日子。陪你的和它所修饰的词之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语，故填printed.
⑥a.考查冠词。句意：例如，这可能是你期待已久的一天，一个结婚的日子。泛指一个，所以用不定冠词，故填a.
⑦commonly.考查副词。句意："隆重欢迎（Rolling out the red carpet）"是另一个常用表达，表示对任何形式的热烈欢迎。修饰动词，所以用副词，故填commonly.
⑧represents.考查时态和主谓一致。句意："隆重欢迎（Rolling out the red carpet）"是另一个常用表达，表示对任何形式的热烈欢迎。描述现状，所以用一般现在时态，主语which指代先行词expression，故填represents.
⑨its.考查形容词性物主代词。句意：当一个城市的棒球队赢得冠军回家时，它可能会铺上红地毯欢迎他们。放在名词前面，所以用形容词性物主代词，故填its.

First of all, know exactly what to your pressure, and then you can take measures to deal with it. Secondly, set a goal that is not too high. In other words, don’t put too pressure on yourself. Thirdly, find a way to relax yourself occasionally. For example, you can listen music, go swimming or just go walking. Eventually, make friends with others, such as your classmates, your teachers and parents. They will understand you and come to your help when you really in trouble. In a word, never get yourself in the pressure, for “impossible is nothing”.
解析：本文为说明文。这篇短文介绍现在高三年级的学生们通常面对很大压力，给出一些建议让学生们减少压力。
1.考查定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰上文整个句子，且从句中缺少主语，故应用关系代词 which，that 不能引导非限制性定语从句。故 that 改为 which。
2.考查名词的数。suggestion 是可数名词。根据下文的内容可知是多个建议，要用复数形式。故 suggestion 改为 suggestions。
3.考查主谓一致。句意：首先，要知道是什么导致了你压力，然后你就可以采取措施来解决它。what lead to your pressure 是宾语从句，主句谓语是一般现在时，结合句意，可知谓语用一般现在时，从句中主语是 what，谓语用第三人称单数形式。故 lead 改为 leads。
4.考查冠词。句意：第二，设立一个不太高的目标，换句话说，不要给自己施加太多压力。结合句意，表示“换句话说”短语为 in other words，句中多了 the。故去掉 the。
5.考查形容词。句意：不要给自己施加太多压力。句中的 pressure 为不可数名词。many 修饰可数名词的复数，而 much 修饰不可数名词。故 many 改为 much。
6.考查介词。句意：你可以听音乐，游泳或只是简单的散步等。结合句意，表示“听音乐”短语为 listen to music。故 listen 后添加 to。
7.考查副词。分析句子可知，本句中的 go 是动词，修饰动词要用副词 simply，表示“简单地”。故 simple 改为 simply。
8.考查代词。句意：和其他人交朋友，例如你的同学、老师和你们的父母。本句是祈使句，其逻辑主语是 you。故指“你的父母”，应用 your。故 our 改为 your。
9.考查动词时态。此处主句为一般将来时，时间状语从句应用一般现在时表将来，且主语为 you，谓语动词应用 are。故 were 改为 are。
10.考查非谓语动词。此处为“get sth. done”结构，sick 与 yourself 构成被动关系，故应用过去分词作宾补。故 sticking 改为 stuck。
