A
Father’s Garden
My father was always a good gardener. One of my earliest memories is standing without shoes in the freshly tilled（翻耕的） soil, my hands blackened from digging in the ground.
As a child, I loved following Dad around in the garden. I remember Dad pushing the tiller（耕作机） ahead in perfectly straight lines. Dad loved growing all sorts of things yellow and green onions, watermelons almost as big as me, rows of yellow corn, and our favorite—red tomatoes.
As I grew into a teenager, I didn’t get so excited about gardening with Dad. Instead of magical land of possibility, it had turned into some kind of prison. As Dad grew older, his love for gardening never disappeared. After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own, Dad turned to gardening like never before. Even when he was diagnosed with cancer, he still took care of his garden.
But then, the cancer, bit by bit, invaded his body. I had to do the things he used to do. What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year. The rows and rows of multicolored vegetables were gone. Too tired to weed them, he simply let them be. He only planted tomatoes.
For the first few years after he died, I couldn’t even bear to look at anyone’s garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket. Three years ago, I decided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes. That morning, after breaking up a fair amount of soil, something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile. It was my eight-year-old son Nathan, happily playing in the freshly tilled soil.
36．Why did the author like the garden when he was a child？
A．He wanted to be a garden-crazy like his father. B．He loved being in the garden with his father. C．The garden was full of his favorite food. D．The garden was just freshly tilled.
37．When all the kids started their own families, the author’s father _____.
A．stopped his gardening. C．devoted more to gardening.
B．turned to other hobbies. D．focused on planting tomatoes.
38．What happened to the garden when the author’s father was seriously ill？
A．There was a great harvest. B．The garden was almost deserted. C．No plant grew in the garden at all.
D．The author’s son took charge of the garden. 39．Why did the author start his garden with tomatoes？
A．He wanted to honor his father. B．His son liked the fields of tomatoes. C．He only knew how to grow tomatoes. D．He thought tomatoes were easy to manage.

You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.
“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette （礼仪） is sort of odd （奇怪的）,” Gray told the BBC. “They （elevators） are socially very interesting but often very
awkward places.”
We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.
He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want – it’s your own little box. If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally （对角线地） across from each other to create distance. When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.
New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone.
Why are we so awkward in lifts？
“You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”
In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed （理解） as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.
40．The main purpose of the article is to _____.
A．remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevator B．tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette C．share an interesting but awkward elevator ride
D．analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator
41．According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _____.
A．turn around and greet one another B．look around or examine their phone C．make eye contact with those in the elevator D．try to keep a distance from other people
42．Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator？
43．The writer wrote the passage in a tone of ___________.
A．disapproved B．objective C．negative D．supportive
C
A deal has been signed to turn by-products from a Scottish distillery（酿酒厂）into fuel for cars.
In what is declared to be a world first, the Tullibardine distillery in Perthshire has linked up with a spin-out company from Napier University in Edinburgh. They plan to use bacteria to feed on the \"leftovers\" from the whisky（威士忌酒）making process. This will produce butanol which can be used to fuel vehicles.
More than 90% of the stuff that comes out of a whisky distillery is not whisky. It is leftovers like draff and pot ales（酒糟）— both produced in the early stages of the process. They are high in sugar and are currently used for things like fertiliser and cattle feed. Napier University's
Biofuel Research Centre （BfRC） has already shown that the right bacteria can feed on those by-products to produce butanol—a direct replacement for vehicle fuel. Now the spin-out company, Celtic Renewables, and independent whisky producer Tullibardine have signed an agreement. Together they will apply the process to thousands of tonnes of the distillery's leftovers.
Professor Martin Tangney, founder of Celtic Renewables, said \"Our partnership with Tullibardine is an important step in the development of a business which combines two important Scottish industries — whisky and renewables. This project shows that creative use of existing technologies can utilise resources on our doorstep to benefit both the environment and the economy.\"
Douglas Ross, managing director of Tullibardine, which spends £250,000 disposing of its by-products every year, said \"We are delighted to be partnering Celtic Renewables in this creative business, the obvious benefits of which are environmental. It takes a cost to us and turns it into something that has social as well as commercial value.\"
The project is being supported by a grant（拨款） from the Scottish government's Zero Waste Scotland initiative. Celtic Renewables said it eventually aimed to build a processing plant in Scotland, with the hope of building an industry that could be worth £60m a year. 44．According to the passage, what will be used to take the place of petrol？
A．whisky
B．whisky leftovers C．butanol D．draff and pot ales
45．How do people deal with whisky leftovers at present？
A．They throw them away.
B．They use them to feed people.
C．They use them to feed bacteria. D．They use them for crops or cattle.
46．What does the underlined word “utilise” in the fourth paragraph probably mean？
A．Make use of. B．Get rid of. C．Use up. D．Find out.
47．It can be inferred from the passage that____________.
A．the government either supports or opposes the project B．the technology has not been widely used yet
C．the project will benefit both the environment and the economy D．the project has brought great profit to the company
D
The discovery of the one of the world’s oldest shipwrecks（沉船）shows that European trade was thriving even in the Bronze Age, according to experts.
The ship, carrying copper and tin ingots（铸块）used to make weapons and jewelry, sank off the coast near Salcombe in Devon and is thought to date from 900 BC. But it was only last year that the South West Maritime Archaeological Group, a team of amateur archaeologists, brought its goods to the surface. The discovery was not announced until this month’s International Shipwreck Conference, in Plymouth, Devon.
It is thought that the goods — 259 copper ingots and 27 of tin — were collected from several different sources in Europe. The discovery shows the high level of maritime（海上的） trade in Europe had reached, even in ancient times. A bronze sword and three gold wrist bracelets were also found at the spot, not far from the famous Salcombe Cannon wreck, which was discovered in the 1990s.
The team have not found any of the new ship’s actual body which is thought to have been completely damaged. However, it is likely to have been powered with paddles and had a crew of around 15. The nearby 17th century Salcombe Cannon wreck, which is protected, has produced Europe’s largest collection of 17th century Moroccan gold coins. Another ship dating
back to the Bronze Age had earlier been discovered in Salcombe but produced up only 53 artifacts.
The British Museum is due to take charge of the goods and has them valued before giving the team a sum. Experts at the University of Oxford are analyzing them to establish its exact origins. Ben Roberts, a British Museum Bronze Age expert, said, “It is an exciting find. What we have here is really, really good evidence of trade. It is very possible there were also animals and people going across the Channel too. We hardly ever get to see evidence of this cross-Channel trade in action.”
48．The people who first carried the copper and tin ingots to the ship_______.
A．died in the ship
B．came from Britain
D．lived about 3,000 years ago
C．were good at making money 49．From the passage we can learn that ________.
A．people in the Bronze Age knew how to trade with other people B．people in the Bronze Age could not make weapons and jewelry C．the copper and tin ingots were used to make ships in the Bronze Age D．there is no doubt that animals went across the Channel in the Bronze Age 50．What did people discover from the famous Salcombe Cannon Wreck？
A．259 copper ingots and 27 of tin. B．Paddles used to power the great ship.
C．A bronze sword and three gold wrist bracelets.
D．Europe’s largest collection of 17th century Moroccan gold coins.
51．According to the passage, the South West Maritime Archaeological Group________.
A．has found the ship’s actual body
B．will be paid for what they found .
C．announced their discovery after they found the goods D．discovered another ship dating back to the Bronze Age

It's almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure. If you have a fear of failure, you might be uncomfortable setting goals. But goals help us decide where we want to go in life. Without goals, we have no sure destination.
Many experts recommend visualization（形象化） as a powerful tool for goal setting. Imagining how life will be after you've reached your goal is a great motivator to keep you moving forward. However, visualization might produce the opposite results in people who have a fear of failure. In his article, researcher Thomas Langens showed that people who have a fear of failure were often left in a strong negative mood after being asked to visualize goals and goal attainment.
So, what can you do instead？
Start by setting a few small goals. These should be goals that are slightly, but not overwhelmingly, challenging. Think of these goals as \"early wins\" that are designed to help improve your confidence. For example, if you've been too afraid to talk to the new department head （who has the power to give you the promotion you want）, then make this your first goal Plan to stop by her office during the next week to introduce yourself. Or, imagine that you've dreamed of returning to school to get your MBA（工商管理硕士）, but you're convinced that you're not smart enough to be accepted into business school. Set a goal to talk with a school counselor or admissions officer to see what's required for admission.
Try to make your goals tiny steps on the route to much bigger goals. Don't focus on the
end picture getting the promotion, or graduating with an MBA. Just focus on the next step introducing yourself to the department head, and talking to an admissions officer. That's it.
Taking one small step at a time will help build your confidence, keep you moving forward, and prevent you from getting overwhelmed with visions of your final goal. 52．What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about？
A．the fear of failure
B．the difficulty in setting goals
D．the importance of setting goals
C．the reasons for failure
53．Why does the author mention the opinion of Thomas Langens？
A．To tell the results of setting goals B．To prove the limitations of visualization C．To draw the readers’ attention to the topic D．To stress the importance of visualization 54． How does the fourth paragraph develop？
A．by analyzing causes
B．by making comparisons D．by giving examples
C．by following the order of space 55．What is the main theme of the passage？
A．Skills to set your goals.
B．Ways to overcome your fear of failure. C．Having a goal is vital to success.
D．Visualization is a powerful tool for goal setting. 四、写作（共两个写作任务，满分35分） 写作一（满分l5分）

As can be seen in the material, people turn a blind eye to the aged people in urgent need on the road, which is a big shame for society.

In conclusion, we should not give up good deeds. The few dishonest cases can not prevent us from helping others. 写作二：（满分20分）
How to Relax before Exams
Many of us feel somehow nervous whenever we are taking an important exam. Nervousness not only does harm to students’ health but also disturbs our studies. So it’s necessary for us students to learn to relax. I think it’s very important to have a right attitude towards exams. Exams are only a means of checking what we have learned. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about the results of the exams. Before an exam , making a scientific study plan and keeping a peaceful mind can help to reduce the pressure from the exam. We can also relax ourselves by doing sports and listening to music. Besides, enough sleep and a balanced diet will work as well.
Follow my advice and you will enjoy your school life.
