It had places where pieces had been 23 and other pieces put in, but they didn't 24 quite right. In fact, in some places where pieces were 25 .

The young man laughed, "Compared with your heart, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears." "Yes," said the old man, "Yours looks perfect but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar (伤疤) represents a person to whom I have given my 26 . I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, 27 often they give me a piece of their heart that fits into the 28 place in my heart. So the scars have me remember the love we 29 .

The old man placed it in his heart, then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the young man's heart.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A

When I was in seventh grade, I was a candy striper (护士助手) at a local hospital in my town. I volunteered about 30 to 40 hours a week during the summer.

Most of the time I spent there was with Mr. Gillespie. He never has any visitors, and nobody seemed to care about his condition. I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine, even though he responded with only an occasional squeeze (紧握) of my hand. Mr. Gillespie was in a coma (昏迷).

I left for a week for a vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr. Gillespie was gone. I didn’t have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear they might tell me he had died. So with many questions unanswered, I continued to volunteer there through my eighth-grade year.

Several years later, when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face. When I realized who it was, my eyes filled with tears. He was alive! I got up the nerve to ask him if he was Mr. Gillespie, and if he had been in a coma about five years ago. With an uncertain look on his face, he replied yes. I explained how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours talking to him in the hospital. His eyes welled up with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever received.

He began to tell me how, as he lay there comatose (昏睡的), he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time. He thought it was an angel, who was there with him. Mr. Gillespie firmly believed that it was my voice and touch that had kept him alive. Then he told me about his life. We exchanged a hug, said our good-byes and went our separate ways.

Although I haven’t seen him since, he fills my heart with joy every day. I know that I made a difference between his life and his death. As importantly, he has made a great difference in my life. I will never forget him and what he did for me: He made me an angel. 36. When the author volunteered at a local hospital, she__________.

3

B. made up her mind to become a nurse herself one day C. spent most of her time taking care of a man in a coma D. became friends with Mr. Gillespie’s visitors

B. If you spread happiness you will be happy yourself. C. Respect people and they will try hard to improve. D. Kindness is loving people more than they deserve. B

Cause and effect is one way to explain things that happen around us. Many things happen because something caused or influenced them to happen. Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what caused or influenced them to happen. Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what causes the effect. It may help you to start with the effect and use your reasoning(推理的) skills. Think about all the things you know that could be reasons for the effect you can see. For example, you may see someone putting on a heavy jacket. This is the effect. To look for a cause, think to yourself, “What would take someone put on a heavy jacket?” Maybe the person is going outside into very cold weather. Maybe the person works in the penguin pen(企鹅圈养地) at Sea World. Maybe the person is going to visit an ice skating rink where the air is kept very cold. All of these things could be a cause for putting on a heavy jacket.

Now, think about a second example. The effect is a boy named Abi has to go to the head teacher’s office. What are the possible causes? Maybe he bullied(欺负) another student. Maybe he is just being picked up early. Maybe he is being given a prize!

Here is another example for you to think about its cause and effect. Cait, 13, was trying to fall asleep when her 8-year-old brother, Doug, came into her room. He looked around a bit, but seemed really out of it. Then Doug went back into the hallway and stood there looking straight up at the hall light for quite a while. Little brothers can be very strange, but this was really much too strange. Cait’s father appeared and explained that Doug was sleepwalking. What’s the cause end effect, could you tell?

40. According to the second paragraph, which of the following is an effect? A. Someone puts on a heavy jacket. B. Someone works in the penguin pen.

C. Someone will go outside into cold weather D. Someone will go to visit an ice skating rink.

41. Abi has to go to the head teacher’s office. Which of the following isn’t the possible cause? A. He bullied another student. B. He is going shopping. C. His is being picking up early. D. He is being given a prize. 42. What was Doug doing when his sister Cait tried to fall asleep?

A. He was going outside. B. He was reading a story. C. He was sleepwalking. D. He was looking for his dad. 43. Which of the following is cause and effect?

A. Tony got up and had a glass of water. B. We came home and found him sleeping.

C. The ball was lost and a window was broken. D. Tim was late again and his teacher got angry. C

In meditation (冥想), people sit quietly and focus their attention on their breath. As they breathe in and out, they attend to their feelings. As thoughts go through their minds, they let them go. Breathe. Let go. Breathe. Let go.

According to a recent study at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, three months of training in this kind of meditation causes a marked change in how the brain allocates (分配) attention. It appears that the ability to let go thoughts that come into mind frees the brain to attend to more rapidly changing things and events in the outside world. Expert meditators are better than other people at catching such fast-changing stimuli (刺激), like facial expressions.

The study provides evidence for changes in the workings of the brain with mental training. People can learn and improve abilities of all sorts with practice, everything from driving to playing the piano. The study has shown that meditation is good for the brain. It appears to reduce pressure and help to develop a sense of good health and happiness.

In an experiment, 17 volunteers with no meditation experience in the experimental group spent three months meditating 10 to 12 hours a day. A control group also with no meditation experience meditated for 20 minutes a day over the same period. Both groups were then given the tests with two numbers in a group of letters. As both groups looked for the numbers, their brain activity was recorded.

Everyone could catch the first number. But the brain recordings showed that the less experienced meditators were likely to grasp the first number and hang onto it, so they missed the second number. Those with more experience gave less attention to the first number, as if letting it go, which led to an increased ability to grasp the second number. This shows that attention can change with practice.

Just ask Daniel Levision, who meditated for three months as part of the study. “I am a much better listener,” he said. “I don’t get lost in my own personal reaction to what people are saying.” 44. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________. A. feelings B. thoughts C. people D. minds 45. Meditators manage their daily tasks better because they ________. A. are given less pressure B. allocate their attention better C. practice them more frequently D. have more stimuli for life 46. In the experiment, volunteers doing meditation for longer hours ________. A. were used to memorizing numbers in groups B. usually ignored the first number observed

C. were more likely to catch both of the numbers D. paid more attention to numbers than to letters

47. The study proves that ________. A. human attention can be trained B. meditation improves one’s health C. brain activity can be recorded D. meditators have a good sense of hearing D

In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.

Asians are immigrating (移民) to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before.

Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.

The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. For these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.

Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kids” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a university education.

48. Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because ________. A. they hope their children may easily find a job there

B. the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countries C. all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countries D. the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends 49.“Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids ________. A. without parents B. living abroad alone C. with university education D. speaking no English

50. Some Asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents ________. A. want to leave their own country B. want them to go to university C. return to their countries to work D. want them to be independent 51. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Parents want better education for their kids. B. Parents feel lonely and miss their families.

C. Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem. D. Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family. E

People are being lured(引诱) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service, and don’t realize that they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information. Facebook then

6






attempts to make money by selling their data（资料） to advertisers that want to send targeted (目标的)messages.

Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook, because people don’t really know what their personal details are worth.

The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook—you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things—your city, your photo, your friends’ names—were set, by default（默认）, to be shared with everyone on the Internet.

According to Facebook’s vice president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “less satisfying experience.”

Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?

The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. “I think the senators rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,”Schrage admits.

I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade（侵犯) our privacy, it’s only the beginning，which is why I’m considering deactivating（撤销) my account(账号). Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t trust. That is too high a price to pay.

52. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph? A. It is a website that sends messages to targeted users. B. It makes money by putting on advertisements. C. It earns money by selling its user’s personal data. D. It provides a lot of information to its users. 53. What does the author say about most Facebook users? A. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook. B. They are unwilling to give up their personal information. C. They don’t identify themselves when using website. D. They care very little about their personal information.

54. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage? A. To help its users make more friends. B. To obey the Federal guidelines. C. To make money by attracting more users. D. To offer better service to its users. 55. Why does the author plan to stop using his Facebook account?

A. He is dissatisfied with its service. B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy. C. He doesn’t want his personal data badly used. D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.
