AOne windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds dashing and dancing in the exciting atmosphere above the earth. As the strong winds gusted against the kites, a string kept them in check.Instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the controlling string and the clumsy tail kept them in tow(牵引), facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They flew beautifully even as they fought the forced restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”Yet freedom from control simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic gentle wind. It flew ungracefully to the ground and landed in a twisted mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”. Free to lie powerless in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground,and to settle down lifeless against the first roadblock.How much like kites we sometimes are. There always exist misfortunes and restrictions, rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength. Prohibition is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition. Some of us pulled at the rules so hard that we never fly fast to reach the heights we might have obtained. If we keep all the commandment(戒律), we will never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.Let us each rise to the great heights, recognizing that some of the prohibitions are actually the steady force that helps us climb and achieve.26. In the passage the writer watched _________.A. many young people enjoying the sunny dayB. many birds dashing and dancing in the skyC. many young people flying multicolored kitesD. the strong winds blowing against the sky27. What enables a kite fly gracefully in the sky according to the story?A. The kite itself and strange shapes.B. A long string and blowing wind.C. A windy spring day and blue sky.D.

It was blown helplessly around.29. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A. To give up tips on how to fly kites effectively.B. To warn us that freedom is actually powerless.C.

Where to FlyC. Why to Fly KitesD. Fly to FreedomBOur most commonly held code for success is broken. Conventional wisdom holds that if we work hard we will be more successful, and if we are more successful, then we’ll be happy. If we can just find that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow. But recent discoveries in the field of positive psychology have shown that this code is actually backward: Happiness fuels success, not the other way around. When we are positive, our brains become more engaged, creative, motivated, energetic, and productive at work. This discovery has been repeatedly borne out by rigid research in psychology and neuroscience(神经学), management studies, and the bottom lines of organizations around the globe.In The Happiness Advantage, Shawn Achor, who spent over a decade living, researching, and lecturing at Harvard University, draws on his own research—including one of the largest studies of happiness and potential at Harvard and others at companies like UBS to fix this broken code. Using stories and case studies from his work with CEOs of Fortune 500 in 42 countries, Achor explains how we can reprogram our brains to become more positive in order to gain a competitive ability at work.Based on seven practical, actionable principles that have been tried and tested everywhere from classrooms to boardrooms, stretching from Argentina to Zimbabwe, he shows us how we can capitalize on the Happiness Advantage to improve our performance and maximize ourpotential.A must-read for everyone trying to stand out in a world of increasing workloads and stress, The Happiness Advantage isn’t only about how to become happier at work. It’s about how to acquire the benefits of a happier and more positive mode of thinking to achieve the extraordinary in our work and in our lives.31. Which of the following is the traditional code for success?A. Hard word→success→happiness.B. Success→happiness→hard word.C. Happiness→hard word→success.D. Hard work→happiness→success.32. What do we know about the new discovery in paragraph 1?A. Conventional code for success is totally useless.B. The more we are successful, the happier we are.C. Positive psychology is really backward.D. Happiness contributes greatly to success.33. Why did the writer write the book The Happiness Advantages?A. To reprogram one’s brain to be healthier.B. To make people more positive and competitive.C. To study stories and cases of CEOs.D. To make a lecture at Harvard University.34. The underlined phrase “capitalize on” in paragraph 3 is closes in meaning to _________.A. provide fund forB. make full use ofC. write big letters forD. stand out in35. What is the purpose of the writer in writing the passage?A. To help people stand out in the world.B. To arouse people’s sense of happiness.C. To help people decrease the work stress.D. To strongly recommend the book.CIf you are a sleep deprived(被剥夺) teacher, you may not be aware of the term woodpeckering(啄木鸟式点头), but you’ve probably done it. It happens the day following a bad night’s sleep. You’re sitting in a long meeting and you can barely keep your eyes open, so you support your head up with your hand. Next thing you know, you are moving your sleeping head back to its upright position. Do this a few times and you are woodpeckering.I thought I knew sleep deprivation when I did my medical internship(实习) in hospital. That year I frequently went 36 hours with no sleep. When I finished my stay in neurology(神经内科), I welcomed the promise of full nights of sleep ever after. It went pretty well for the next 10 years until I became a school teacher and experienced a whole new level of sleep deprivation.Teachers’ working hours go far beyond the 8 am to 5 pm schedule of kids in school. There are hours spent at staff meetings, correcting homework, preparing for the next day- and then there is the worrying. What I did in a hospital emergency room required no more intensive mental energy than what is need to keep 30 kids attentive enough to learn what I was teacher.Good teachers are like magicians keeping a dozen balls in the air to come at right time, with alarm set for 6 am to finish grading papers, memories of the day that’s gone- including the students who didn’t understand something, forgot their lunch or were embarrassed by wrong angers. All these will become sleep-resistant barriers. And also with some financial stress,you’ll have a cycle of insomnia(失眠) with unwelcome consequences.With inadequate sleep comes irritability(易怒), forgetfulness, lower tolerance of even minor annoyances, and less efficient organization and planning. These are the very mental nuseles that teachers need to meet the challenges of the next day. In wanting to do a better job the next day, the brain keeps bringing up the worries that deny the rest it needs.36. After a bad night’s sleep, usually the direct effect for the next day is to _________.A. keep one’s eyes open all the timeB. move head back and forthC. raise one’s head in upright positionD. keep nodding like a woodpecker37. The writer’s new level of sleep deprivation began since he _________.A. did his medical internship in hospitalB. began to teach in a schoolC. left hospital ten years agoD. went 36 hours with no sleep38. From paragraph 3 we can infer that _________.A. Teachers’ work is comfortableB. correcting homework needs less timeC. working in hospital is even tougherD. teaching needs more mental energy39. Good teachers’ sleep problems are mainly due to the _________.A. common sleep-resistant barriersB. embarrassment for wrong answersC. diligence and devotion to teachingD. misunderstanding of their students40. What does the writer really want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Unfavorable effects of inadequate sleep are variousB. Lay down worries and sleep well first for the next day.C. Teachers should often practice mental muscles.D. Better job has nothing to do with inadequate sleep.DAn absolute description of the threat hanging over the world’s mammals, reptiles, amphibians(不如、爬行、两栖动物) and other life forms has been published by the well-known scientific journal, Nature. A special analysis carried out by the journal indicates that an astonishing 41% of all amphibians on the planet now face extinction while 26% of mammal species and 13% of birds are similarly threatened.Many species are already critically endangered and lose to extinction, including the Sumatran elephant, Amur leopard and mountain gorilla. But also in danger of vanishing for the wild, it now appears, are animals that are currently rated as merely being endangered.In each case, the finger of blame points directly at human activities The continuing spread of agriculture is destroying million of hectares of wild habitats(栖息地)every year, leaving animals without homes, while the introduction of newly-come species, often helped by humans, is also damaging native populations. At the same time, pollution and overfishing are destroying ocean ecosystems.“Habitat destruction, pollution or overfishing either kill off wild creatures and plants orleaves them badly weakened,”said Derek Tittensor, an ocean ecologist at the World Conservation Monitoring Centre in Cambridge. “The trouble is that in coming decades, the additional threat of worsening climate change will become more and more common and could then kill off these survivors.”The problem, according to Nature, is worsened because of the huge gaps in scientists knowledge about the planet’s biodiversity. Evaluations of the total number of species of animals and plants alive vary from 2 million to 50 million. In addition, evaluations of current rates of species’ disappearances vary from 500 to 36, 000 a year. “That is the real problem we face,”added Tittensor. “The scale of uncertainty is huge.”In the end, however, the data indicate that the world is heading cruelty towards a mass extinction-which is defined as one involving a loss of 75% of species or more. This could arrive in less than a hundred years or could take a thousand, depending on extinction rates.41. What’s the main idea of the first two paragraphs?A. Figures about some wild animals are astonishing.B. “Nature”is the famous journal around the world.C. Many endangered species are close to extinction.D. Some rare species have appeared around the world.42. The direct reason for the extinction of some species is _________.A. continuous appearance of new speciesB. destructive activities of human beingsC. more and more homeless animalsD. the great change of ocean ecosystem43. From paragraph 4 we know that another future threat is _________.A. destruction of habitatsB. overfishing and pollutionC. the worsening climate changeD. killing off wild creatures and plants44. What is the real problem we are facing now according to paragraph 5?A. The killing of wild creatures and cutting of trees.B. The global warming caused by human beings.C. The destruction of ocean ecosystem by pollution.D. Evaluation of current rates of species’ disappearances.45. What does “This” in the last sentence refer to _________?A. mass extinctionB. extinction ratesC. extinction timeD. 75% of species or moreIII 写作(共两节, 满分40分)第一节基础写作(共1小题；满分15分)【题文】你接受了一项写作任务，要为英语校报写一篇时事快讯。
