My grandpa Nybakken, a carpenter, is no 36 . Several decades ago, he made a mistake — a(n) 37 mistake, though. On a cold Saturday, Grandpa was building some wooden cases for the clothes his 38 was sending to an orphanage (孤儿院) in Congo. On his way home, he 39 into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. So he drove back to the church. His search proved 40 . When he 41 replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the cases. His brand new glasses, having 42 him ＄20 that very morning, were heading for Congo! He had to drive home 43 . Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to give a report on Sunday night at my grandfather’s church, 44 Grandpa and his family also attended. “But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the 45 you sent last year. You see, the bandits(土匪) had just swept through the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate.” “ 46 I had the money, there was simply no way of 47 those glasses. 48 not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day. Then your cases arrived. When my staff 49 the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on top.” Then, still gripped (吸引注意) with the 50 , he continued: “Folks, when I tried 51 the glasses, it was as thought they had been custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!” The people listened, 52 for the miraculous glasses. But the director surely must have 53 their church with another, they thought. There were no glasses on their 54 of items to be sent overseas. But an ordinary carpenter was sitting 55 in the back, with tears streaming down his face. 36. A. expectation B. success C. luck D. exception 37. A. perfect B. foolish C. avoidable D. common 38. A. factory B. church C. family D. country 39. A. turned B. reached C. filled D. put 40.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked. One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.” I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands. “For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up. Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.” 56. By saying “Karl became withdrawn”, the author means that the boy changed entirely and ________.

A. the speaker was too moved to say anything to the mother B. the speaker waited for the mother to finish speaking C. the speaker didn’t want the mother to recognize his voice D. the speaker was unable to interrupt the mother 58.

The “Bystander Apathy Effect” was first studied by researchers in New York after neighbours ignored --- and in some cases turned up the volume on their TVs --- the cries of a woman as she was murdered (over a half-hour period). With regard to helping those in difficulty generally, they found that: women are helped more than men; men help more than women; attractive women are helped more than unattractive women. Other factors relate to the number of people in the area, whether the person is thought to be in trouble through their own fault, and whether a person sees himself as being able to help. According to Adrian Furnham, Professor of University College, London, there are three reasons why we tend to stand by doing nothing: “Shifting of responsibility” --- the more people there are, the less likely help is to be given. Each person excuses himself by thinking someone else will help, so that the more “other people” there are, the greater the total shifting of responsibility. “Fear of making a mistake” --- situations are often not clear. People think that those involved in an incident may know each other or it may be a joke, so a fear of embarrassment makes them keep themselves to themselves. “Fear of the consequences if attention is turned on you, and the person is violent.” Laurie Taylor, Professor of Sociology at London University, says: “In the experiments I’ve seen on intervention（介入）, much depends on the neighborhood or setting. There is a silence on public transport which is hard to break. We are embarrassed to draw attention to something that is happening, while in a football match, people get involved , and a fight would easily follow.” Psychotherapist Alan Dupuy identifies the importance of the individual: “the British as a whole have some difficulty intervention, but there are exceptional individuals in every group who are prepared to intervene, regardless of their own safety. These would be people with a strong moral code or religious ideals.” 60. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Pretty women are more likely to be helped. B. People on a bus are more likely to stop a crime. C. Religious people are more likely to look on. D. Criminals are more likely to harm women. 61. Which factor is NOT related with intervention according to the passage? A. Sex. B. Nationality. C. Profession. D. Setting. 62. Which phenomenon can be described as the “Bystander Apathy Effect”? A. A man is more likely to help than a woman. B. In a football match, people get involved in a fight. C. Seeing a murder, people feel sorry that it should have happened. D. On hearing a cry for help, people keep themselves to themselves. 63. The author wrote this article _______. A. to explain why bystanders behave as they do B. to urge people to stand out when in need C. to criticize the selfishness of bystanders D. to analyze the weakness of human nature

Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough，the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth，and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth，but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment。This view, now held by most experts can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to say that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters，parents and children，usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine that now we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence. 67. By using the example that two people closer in blood relationship are closer in intelligence that writer wants to prove _ . A. intelligence is given at birth B. intelligence can be developed by environment C. intelligence can be developed by experience D. education plays an important part in the development of education 68. A child who lives in rich and varied surroundings turns out higher in intelligence because ________. A. his family is rich and therefore can afford to develop his intelligence B. he can break the limits of intelligence fixed at birth C. his family is rich and provides him with various healthy food D. these surroundings are likely to help him reach the limits of their intelligence 69. Writer of this article believes that _________. A. the development of one’s intelligence is determined by many factors working together B. environment plays the most important role in the development of intelligence C. education plays the most important role in the development of intelligence D. birth plays the most important role in the development of intelligence 70. The best title for this passage might be . A. Intelligence B. Birth and Environment C. The Answer to a Question D. Intelligence and Education

Some futurologists have assumed that the vast increase of women in the workforce may portend（预示）a rejection of marriage. Many women, according to this hypothesis, would rather work than marry. The opposite of this concern is that the outlook of becoming a multi-paycheck household could encourage marriage. In the past, only the earnings and financial prospects of the man counted in the marriage decision. Now, however, the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a marriage partner. Data show that economic downturns tend to put off marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead. As the economy comes to life, the number of marriages also rises. The increase in divorce rates follows to the increase in women working outside the home. Yet, it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause-and-effect conclusions. The effect of a wife’s work on divorce is no less cloudy than its effect on marriage decisions. The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage. But the reverse is equally plausible（似是而非的）. Tensions grounded in financial problems often play a key role in ending a marriage. By raising a family’s standard of living, a working wife may strengthen her family’s financial and emotional stability. Psychological factors also should be considered. For example, a wife blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house. She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce. On the other hand, if she can find fulfillment through work outside the home, work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union. Also, a major part of women’s inequality in marriage has been due to the fact that, in most cases, men have remained the main breadwinners. A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house. Depending upon how the couple reacts to these new conditions, it could create a stronger equal partnership or it could create new insecurities. 71. It is said in the passage that when the economy moves to a worse situation, _________. A. men would choose working women as their marriage partners B. more women would get married to seek financial security C. even working women would worry about their marriages D. more people would prefer to remain single for the time being 72. The underlined word “rejection” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _________. A. accepting B. refusing C. producing D. confusing 73. If women find fulfillment through work outside the home, _________. A. they are more likely to control their marriage partners B. their husbands are expected to do more housework C. their marriage ties can be strengthened D. they tend to put their career before marriage 74. One reason why women with no career may seek a divorce is that ________. A. they feel that they have been robbed of their freedom B. they are afraid of being bossed around by their husbands C. they feel that their partners fail to live up to their expectations D. they tend to suspect their husbands loyalty to their marriage 75. Which of the following statements can best summarize the authors view in the passage? A. The stability of marriage and the divorce rate may reflect the economic situation of the country. B. Even when economically independent, most women have to struggle for real equality in marriage. C. In order to secure their marriage women should work outside the home and remain independent. D. The effect of the growing female workforce on marriage varies from case to case.
