At St. Francis High School in La Canada, Calif. ,there’s something to be said about math teacher Jim Connor.
Truth is, Connor can be a bit of a drudge. But the 70-year-old Vietnam vet says he’s not here to entertain his students. “It drives me crazy when people say school should be fun,” he says. “I mean, it’s nice if it could be, but you can’t make school fun.”
And for years, the kids thought that’s all there was to him — until last November, when senior Pat McGoldrick learned they didn’t know the half of him.
Pat was in charge of a student blood drive and had just come to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for a meeting. And he says it was weird: whenever he told someone he went to St. Francis High School, they all said, “Oh, you must know Jim Connor. Isn’t he wonderful? ”
“It was disbelief, really,” Pat says. “It was almost kind of finding this alter ego (另一面) that he has.” Inside the blood donor center, Pat found a plaque listing all the top blood donors at the hospital, including the record holder, Jim Connor. Then he learned something even more unbelievable: that whenever Connor isn’t torturing kids with calculus (微积分), he’s on a whole other tangent-cuddling sick babies. Three days a week for the past 20 years, Jim has volunteered at the hospital, stepping in become involved in an activity when parents can’t, to hold, feed and comfort their children.
“They tend to calm for him,” Nurse Erin says. “They tend to relax with him. They fall asleep with him.”
“I just like them and relate to them somehow,” Connor says.
Connor has never been married; he has no kids of his own. But he has fallen hard for these babies.
“I’ve always respected him, but now it’s to an even different degree — really to the point where I try to emulate him,” Pat says. “He’s the epitome of a man of service.”
4. What do we learn from paragraph 2?
A. School can never be fun.
B. Connor is highly demanding.
C. Connor’s students drive him crazy.
D. Connor thinks education is for all.
5. What did Pat find out about Mr Connor?

B. Mr Connor was awarded for his love toward babies.
C. Mr Connor used to he a very strict teacher.
D. Mr Connor had a unique teaching philosophy.

【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Inside the blood donor center, Pat found a plaque listing all the top blood donors at the hospital, including the record holder, Jim Connor. Then he learned something even more unbelievable: that whenever Connor isn’t torturing kids with calculus (微积分), he’s on a whole other tangent-cuddling sick babies. Three days a week for the past 20 years, Jim has volunteered at the hospital, stepping in become involved in an activity when parents can’t, to hold, feed and comfort their children. (在献血中心里，帕特发现一块牌子，上面列出了医院里所有的顶级献血者，包括记录保持者吉姆·康纳。然后，他发现了更难以置信的事情：只要康纳不用微积分折磨孩子，他就会去拥抱生病的婴儿。在过去的20年里，吉姆每周有3天在医院做志愿者，在父母不能做的时候参与到一项活动中来，抱着，喂着，安慰着他们的孩子)”可知，康纳先生不仅捐了血，还贡献了自己的时间。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段““They tend to calm for him,” Nurse Erin says. “They tend to relax with him. They fall asleep with him.”(“他们往往会因为他而平静下来，”艾琳护士说。“他们往往和他在一起很放松。他们和他一起入睡。”)”可推知，康纳先生有能力和那些被他抱着的孩子们交流。故选C。
【7题详解】

C
Cutlery (餐具) including chopsticks, knives, forks and spoons which delivers an electric shock to change the taste of food could help cut down salt in fast food. Scientists have developed a pair of chopsticks, which can make food taste saltier, sour or bitter without the need for extra seasoning (调味). They are also working on a spoon and fork that could make food taste spicier or sweeter. This “digital seasoning” technology could help food manufacturers and restaurants to reduce the amount of salt they put into food without relinquishing taste.
They work by delivering pulses of electricity to the tip of the tongue to stimulate the tastebuds(味蕾). Dr Nimesha Ranasinghe, an assistant professor who led the work on the electric cutlery, said, “This technology is aimed at creating a virtual taste sensation.”
Some Chinese takeaway food and ready meals were recently found to contain up to 11 times more salt than a bag of crisps — more than half of an adult’s daily allowance. Salt is known to be linked to serious health problems like heart disease and stroke.
But using a pair of electric chopsticks could help cut salt levels without influencing the taste, said Dr Ranasinghe. The technology, which Dr Ranasinghe initially developed while at the University of Singapore, works by installing two electrodes (电极) into each chopstick or the end of a spoon. These electrodes send a weak current through the tip of the tongue when they touch it to stimulate the taste buds.
By controlling the frequency and strength of the electric current, the researchers can stimulate either sourness, saltiness or bitterness. They say up to 80% of people experience changes in saltiness and sourness with the devices and 70% can sense changes in bitterness.
Dr Ranasinghe said he was also working on ways of imitating sweetness and spiciness by rapidly heating and cooling the tongue. It could lead to a spoon that allows desserts to taste sweet while having lower sugar levels or a fork that can give a curry extra heat without the need for extra chilies (辣椒). Dr Ranasinghe said: “We have some early findings of imitating sweetness, a mint-cool sensation and hot or spicy sensations.”
8. What seasoning cutlery has been developed?
A. Chopsticks. B. Knives. C. Forks. D. Spoons.
9. How does the seasoning cutlery work?
A. It cuts down salt in food.
B. It adds extra seasoning in food.
C. It delivers an electric shock to the tongue.
D. It weakens our taste sensation in our mind.
10. What does the underlined word “relinquishing” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Removing. B. Attracting. C. Acquiring. D. Compromising.
11. What does the text mainly want to tell us?
A. Give yourself an electric shock to make takeaways healthy.
B. Try to eat at home instead of having take-out food to stay healthy.
C. Make your food taste saltier by using a pair of electric chopsticks.
D. Reduce the amount of salt in your food to avoid health problems.
【答案】8 A 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究人员研发了一种电子筷，使食物尝起来更咸，有助于减少食盐摄入，同时不会影响食物的口味。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Scientists have developed a pair of chopsticks, which can make food taste saltier, sour or bitter without the need for extra seasoning (调味).(科学家发明了一种筷子，可以使食物尝起来更咸、更酸或更苦，而不需要额外的调味品)”可知，研究人员研发了一种可以调味的筷子。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Cutlery (餐具) including chopsticks, knives, forks and spoons which delivers an electric shock to change the taste of food could help cut down salt in fast food.(包括筷子、刀、叉和勺子在内的餐具可以通过电击来改变食物的味道，这有助于减少快餐中的盐分)”以及第二段中“They work by delivering pulses of electricity to the tip of the tongue to stimulate the tastebuds (味蕾).(它们通过向舌尖发送电脉冲来刺激味蕾)”可知，这种餐具的工作原理是向舌尖发送电脉冲，以刺激味蕾。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“They are also working on a spoon and fork that could make food taste spicier or sweeter.(他们还在研究一种能让食物尝起来更辣或更甜的勺子和叉子)”可推知，划线词所在句意为：这种“数字调味”技术可以帮助食品制造商和餐馆在不放弃味道的情况下减少食物中的盐含量。由此推知，划线词relinquishing意为“放弃”。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Cutlery (餐具) including chopsticks, knives, forks and spoons which delivers an electric shock to change the taste of food could help cut down salt in fast food.(包括筷子、刀、叉和勺子在内的餐具可以通过电击来改变食物的味道，这有助于减少快餐中的盐分)”可知，本文主要介绍了研究人员研发了一种电子筷，使食物尝起来更咸，有助于减少食盐摄入，同时不会影响食物的口味。由此可知，C项“用一双电筷子让你的食物尝起来更咸”能够总结文章大意。故选C。
D
What does it mean to live a good life? This question has been debated for centuries. In the field of psychology, two main concepts of the good life have been quite popular: A happy life full of pleasure and positive emotions, and a meaningful life full of purpose and sacrifice. But what if these aren’t the only options?
In recent years, a long-neglected version of the good life has been receiving greater attention: the psychologically rich life. It is full of complex mental engagement, a wide range of intense and deep emotions, and diverse, novel, surprising and interesting experiences. Sometimes they are neither pleasant nor meaningful. However, they are rarely boring or monotonous.
After all, both happy and meaningful lives can become monotonous and repetitive. A person with a steady office job, married with children, may be satisfied and find his or her life meaningful and still be bored. Also, the psychologically rich life doesn’t necessarily involve economic richness. For instance, consider Hesse’s character Goldmund, who has no money but pursues the life of a free spirit.
Research has found psychological richness is related to, but partially distinct from, both happy and meaningful lives. Psychological richness is related with openness to experience and experiencing both positive and negative emotions more intensely. But is the psychologically rich life one that people actually want?
In a new study, Oishi and his colleagues asked people in nine countries the degree to which they value a psychologically rich life, a happy life and a meaningful life. They found many people’s self-described ideal lives involve psychological richness. When forced to choose a life, however, the majority chose a happy life and a meaningful life. Even so, a minority of people still favored the psychologically rich life, ranging from 6.7% in Singapore to 16.8% in Germany.
These numbers went up when the desire for a psychologically rich life was measured indirectly. To understand what a person wishes their lives might have been, it is important to explore what people wish they had avoided in their lives. When asked what they regret most and whether undoing this event would have made their lives happier, more meaningful or psychologically richer, about 28% of Americans said undoing the regrettable event would have made their lives psychologically richer.
These findings suggest that while most people strive to be happy and have meaning in their lives, a sizable number of people are content merely living a psychologically rich existence.
As Oishi and his colleagues conclude, “We believe that taking the psychologically rich life seriously will deepen and enrich our understanding of well-being.” At the end of the day, there is no one singularly acceptable path to the good life. You have to find a path that works best for you.
12. According to the passage, the psychologically rich life _______.
A. means living a luxurious life
B. involves various intense emotions
C. combines pleasure with purpose
D. emphasizes openness and repetition
13. What does Oishi’s research indicate?
A. The Germans prefer psychological richness to a happy life.
B. Undoing regrettable events has enriched many people’s lives.
C. A hidden desire for psychological richness exists among some people.
D. People with psychological richness tend to describe their lives as ideal.
14. We can learn from the passage that _______.
A. purpose outweighs pleasure in terms of significance
B. the choice of a good life differs from person to person
C. a positive mindset helps us understand our well-being
D. we should never be content and always strive for the best
15. What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To compare different concepts of a good life.
B. To explain how to live a psychologically rich life.
C. To persuade people to attain psychological richness.
D To draw attention to a less familiar version of a good life.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章提出除了传统观念的好的生活之外，另一种好生活——心理丰富的生活应该得到关注。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“It is full of complex mental engagement, a wide range of intense and deep emotions, and diverse, novel, surprising and interesting experiences.”（它充满了复杂的心理参与，广泛的强烈和深刻的情感，以及多样的、新奇的、惊奇的和有趣的体验。）可知，心理丰富的生活包含了各种强烈的情感。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据倒第二段“These findings suggest that while most people strive to be happy and have meaning in their lives, a sizable number of people are content merely living a psychologically rich existence.”（这些发现表明，虽然大多数人努力让自己快乐，让自己的生活有意义，但仍有相当数量的人仅仅满足于心理上丰富的生活。）可知，Oishi的调查显示在一些人当中，隐藏着一种对心理丰富的渴望。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据第五段最后两句“When forced to choose a life, however, the majority chose a happy life and a meaningful life. Even so, a minority of people still favored the psychologically rich life, ranging from 6.7% in Singapore to 16.8% in Germany.”（然而，当被迫选择一种生活时，大多数人选择了幸福的生活和有意义的生活。即便如此，仍有一小部分人青睐心理富裕的生活，从新加坡的6.7%到德国的16.8%不等。）可知，对于好的生活的选择因人而异。故选B。
4.推理判断题。文章第一段中提出问题“What does it mean to live a good life? ”（过好生活意味着什么?）并指出“In the field of psychology, two main concepts of the good life have been quite popular: A happy life full of pleasure and positive emotions, and a meaningful life full of purpose and sacrifice.”（在心理学领域，关于美好生活的两个主要概念一直很流行：一个是充满快乐和积极情绪的幸福生活，一个是充满目标和牺牲的有意义的生活。）然后提出问题“But what if these aren’t the only options?”（但如果这些不是唯一的选择呢?）所以文章的目的是想提出一种不与传统概念相同的另一种好的生活的选择，并在第二段中提出“In recent years, a long-neglected version of the good life has been receiving greater attention: the psychologically rich life.”（近年来，一个长期被忽视的美好生活的版本越来越受到关注：心理丰富的生活。）可知这篇文章的主要目的是让人们注意到不太熟悉的美好生活。故选D。
第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分）
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。
The word “diary” comes from the Latin word “diarium”, which means “daily allowance”. ____16____And it is used for business notes, planning activities, keeping track of scheduled appointments, or documenting what has already happened. Some doctors suggest that writing in a diary is a good form of self-study.
In America, from the 1940s through the 1980s, a diary was thought of mostly as a way to privately express one’s deepest thoughts while keeping notations about the day. ___17___ Many times, movies would show a teenage girl beginning to write in her diary while she said aloud, “Dear diary”
___18___ A diary kept by a young German Jewish girl by the name of Anne Frank provides us with invaluable lessons about history, for she documented her experiences while she hid from the Nazis during their occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. Her diary became one of the world’s most widely read books and is the basis for many films.
Samuel Pepys, who lived during the 17th century, is the earliest diary keeper that is famous today. His diary is also an important documentation of history, for it gives personal insight （洞察力） into London’s Great Plague and the Great Fire. His diary is being published on the Internet, and it’s interesting to note that there has been a new entry every day since January of 2003. It will continue over the course of several years to come. ___19___
Today’s electronic version of the diary, the web log or “blog” has once again stretched the diary to be much more than a personal account of the day’s events. There are blogs to document recipes, traveling, movies, independent news, product announcements, photos, and anything else that needs to be recorded over time. Search engines like Technorati. com have been created to keep track of the more than 112 million blogs that are currently public.___20___
A. It refers to a book for writings by date.
B. In its newest form, the diary has become more popular than ever.
C. Reading his diary is fascinating, and it makes his life all the more real to us.

G. In those times, and even continuing on today, writing in a diary was like writing to a special friend.
【答案】16. A 17. G 18. E 19. C 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了日记的起源、用途及其演变过程。
【详解】1. 从上句“The word “diary” comes from the Latin word “diarium”, which means “daily allowance”.”（“diary”这个词来自拉丁语“ diarium”，意思是“每日津贴”。）可以看出这里是解释“diary”一词的来源，那么下一句应该是给“diary”下的定义，选项A.“它指的是一本按日期写的书。”讲述了这个词的定义，符合题意。故选A。
2. 根据前一句“In America, from the 1940s through the 1980s, a diary was thought of mostly as a way to privately express one’s deepest thoughts while keeping notations about the day.”（在美国，从20世纪40年代到80年代，日记被认为是作为一种方式来私下表达一个人内心深处的想法同时保留关于这一天的记录），G项“在那个时代，甚至在今天，写日记就像是给一个特别的朋友写信。”中In those times对应前一句中的from the 1940s through the 1980s，故选G。
3. 根据下文“A diary kept by a young German Jewish girl by the name of Anne Frank provides us with invaluable lessons about history, for she documented her experiences while she hid from the Nazis during their occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. Her diary became one of the world’s most widely read books and is the basis for many films.”（一个名叫安妮·弗兰克的年轻德国犹太女孩的日记为我们提供了宝贵的历史教训，因为她记录了她在二战期间躲避纳粹占领荷兰期间的经历。她的日记成为世界上最广泛阅读的书籍之一，也是许多电影的基础。）可知，讲述了德国犹太女孩安妮·弗兰克的日记，她的日记成为了世界上最广泛阅读的书籍之一，也是很多部电影的基础。作为例子讲述了保留下来的个人的日记的历史意义，可知空处的内容应为“在作者死后，那些私人的思考可能具有历史意义。”选项E.“这些个人的反思可能在作者死后很久仍具有历史意义。”切题，故选E。
4. 根据前文“Samuel Pepys, who lived during the 17th century, is the earliest diary keeper that is famous today. His diary is also an important documentation of history, for it gives personal insight （洞察力） into London’s Great Plague and the Great Fire. His diary is being published on the Internet, and it’s interesting to note that there has been a new entry every day since January of 2003. It will continue over the course of several years to come. ”（塞缪尔·佩皮斯，生活在17世纪，在今天是著名的，也是最早的日记记录者。他的日记也是一个重要的历史记录，因为它提供了个人对于伦敦的大瘟疫和大火的见解。他的日记正在互联网上发表，有趣的是，自2003年1月以来，每天都有一个新的条目。这将在未来几年持续下去。）本段主要讲述生活在十七世纪Samuel Pepys的日记的也是有历史意义的，因此可以推断阅读他的日记可以帮助我们可以更好地了解他的生活，选项C.“阅读他的日记是很有趣的，这使得他的生活对我们来说更加真实。”承接前文，符合题意。故选C。

【答案】At present, Internet slang has become more and more popular among the teenagers. According to a survey conducted by our Students’ Union, students’ opinions on this issue are divided as follows.
Most of the students are in favor of Internet slang. About 35% of the students hold the view that Internet slang is vivid and fashionable. Another 33% of them enjoy its humor and intelligence. And a quarter of the students believe it makes chatting on the Internet more convenient. However, there are 7% of the students thinking Internet slang lacks depth of thought and is too casual. In addition, it is hard for most people to understand and accept this kind of slang. If it is used too much in a passage, it may make readers confused, and even cause misunderstanding.
In my opinion, living in the Information Age, if we are not familiar with Internet slang, we are likely to fall behind.
