American Brian Linden first came to China at the end of August 1984. That month of this year, the 61-year-old man visited his hometown, Chicago. But wherever he is, Linden always holds China in his heart as his “spiritual homeland”.
His plans for September were to deliver lectures with a focus on China, before returning to Xizhou town in Dali, Yunnan to oversee the operation of the Linden Center — his namesake hotel brand and cultural exchange center founded in 2008. “The initial intention behind establishing the Linden Center was to build a bridge for cultural exchanges between China and the world,” says Linden. “What China has accomplished in 40 years is a miracle. I want to tella better story of China to the world. ”
Before coming to China, he was a part-time night school college student, who cleaned carpets for a living. One day, he went to clean the carpet of an instructor who had just returned from China. He was captivated by the teacher’s amazing stories about China. Soon after, he saw a poster announcing scholarships to study overseas in China and applied. “It changed my life,” he says.
While undertaking graduate studies at Nanjing University, he met his wife Jeanee, a Chinese-American woman. The couple took train journeys across the country with their sons,not only exploring China’s beautiful landscapes but also feeling the people’s warmth and kindness.China has given so much to Linden that he, in turn, wanted to contribute to China’s growth and promote the country to the outside world.
Linden’s team transformed the courtard into a hotel according to the principle of “preserving the old as it was”, conserving the ethnic Bai architecture, layout (布局), and wooden carvings. International visitors not only booked guestrooms at the center but also explored the surrounding Bai villages under the guidance of its staff. Linden hopes to go beyond enhancing global understanding of China in general to boosting people-to-people exchanges with the US in particular.
4. Why did Linden set up the Linden Center
A. To make a big fortune in China.
B. To achieve his wife’s and sons’ dreams.
C. To memorize his special experience in China.
D. To promote cultural exchanges between China and the world.

C. Confused. D. Concerned.

C. Conserve the traditions. D. Combine the old and the new.
7. What would be the suitable title for the text

C. A Couple Is Puzzled by the Traditional Chinese Culture
D. An American Shares His “Chinese Homeland” with the World

Habitat improvement and a series of protective measures have played a crucial role in the rise of the population of Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys(滇金丝猴) , one of the planet’s most endangered animals.
The Yunnan snub-nosed monkey, also known as the black-and-white snub-nosed monkey, lives in high-altitude areas at more than 3,000 meters above sea level in Southwest China’s Yunnan province and the neighboring Xizang autonomous region. About 65 percent of its population inhabits the Baima Snow Mountain National Nature Reserve.
“Currently, the reserve is home to about 3,000 Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys,” said Lai Jiandong, head of the Wildlife Protection Station at the Baima reserve. When the reserve was first established in 1983, however, the population numbered a mere 800.
Lai stresses the continuous enhancement of management levels within the Baima reserve, including the adoption of cutting-edge technologies for monitoring and protecting not only the snub-nosed monkeys but also other endangered wildlife species.
“In recent years, using technologies like infrared(红外线) cameras, we have taken pictures of rare and endangered creatures such as leopards, jackals and sambar deer,” Lai noted, emphasizing the important role of such advancements in wild animal protection.
The primary duties of the Wildlife ProtectionStation involve the daily care of the snub-nosed monkeys in the Weixi Lisu autonomous county, as well as the sheltering and rescue of injured animals. “Over the past few years, we have provided assistance to more than 200 wild animals, including Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys, pandas and macaques,” said Lai.
The Yunnan snub-nosed monkey is under China’s national first-class protection and has been listed as an endangered species on the Red List of Threatened Species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. They will be better protected.
8. Which isn’t a factor that contributes to the increase of the population of Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys
A. Rising public concerns. B. Advanced technologies.
C. Protective measures. D. Improved living habitats.
9. What do we learn about Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys
A. They only live in Yunnan province.
B. Their population has dropped sharply since 1983.
C. They are well-protected by the Wildlife Protection Station.
D. Over 200 Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys have been rescued up to now.
10. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. People rescue many injured animals in Yunnan.
B. Infrared cameras have captured images of rare wildlife.
C. Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys increase in high mountains.
D. Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys are the most endangered animals.
11. Where may the passage come from
A. A textbook. B. A newspaper.
C. An advertisement. D. An economic journal.
D
While often seen as a negative (消极的) emotion, anger can also be a powerful motivator (促进因素) for people to achieve challenging goals in their lives, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
“People often believe that a state of happiness is perfect,” said lead author Heather Lench, PhD, a professor in the department of psychologcal and brain sciences at Texas A & M University, “but previous research suggests that a mix of emotions, including negative emotions like anger, results in good outcomes.”
The functionalist theory of emotion suggests that all emotions, good or bad, are reactions to events within a person’s environment and help that person to make proper actions, according to Lench. For example, sadness may suggest that a person needs to seek help or emotional support, while anger may indicate a person needs to take action to overcome an obstacle (障碍).
To better understand the role of anger in achieving goals, researchers conducted a series of experiments involving more than 1,000 participants and analyzed survey data from more than 1,400 respondents. In each experiment, participants either had an emotional response (such as anger, amusement, desire or sadness) or a neutral (中性的) emotional state, and then were presented with a challenging goal. Across all the experiments, anger improved people’s ability to reach their goals compared with a neutral condition in a variety of challenging situations.
“Our research adds to the growing evidence that a mix of positive and negative emotions promotes well-being, and that using negative emotions as tools can be particularly effective in some situations,” Lench said.
12. What is commonly believed concerning people’s emotions
A. It is believed that a state of joy is great.
B. A feeling of sadness leads to poor effect.
C. Anger is actually a positive emotion.
D. Pride acts as an obstacle to success.
13. Why did researchers do a seres of experiments
A. They hoped to overturn the previous findings.
B. They hoped to prove that a state of happiness is ideal.
C. They hoped to find the relationship between positive and negative emotions.
D. They hoped to have a better understanding of the role of anger in attaining goals.
14 What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The problem of the research. B. The background of the research.
C. The process of the research. D. The significance of the research.
15. What’s Lench’s attitude to their research
A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Uncaring. D. Critical.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My first term at MIT was amazing-I was very motivated and got all A’s, with everything being passed. My second semester went pretty well, too, but I struggled very much in organic chemistry and ended up with a B. That was my first B ever, and though I was disappointed, I shook it off and tried to stay positive.
I was not even sure why I took organic chemistry, since I was interested in math. My parents were pressuring me to become a doctor like them so I guess I was trying to appease (安抚) them. But at the same time, I was desperately running away from them and their control. I was very conflicted and had no idea what I want to do in the future.
I had always excelled in math and so I chose to pursue that. I didn’t know it at that time,but my very sense of self-worth was based on the fact that I was good at math. But my third semester ended up with a D in math, and I didn’t do that well in my other classes, either.
I started skipping classes more and more; sleeping more and more. It seemed like all my friends were doing so well, getting some internship (实习) opportunities over the summers, while my parents made me fly home and stay with them every summer. The next semester I got 2 F’s.
In my fifth semester, I realized that I was awful at higher-level math and so I switched my major to computer science. I had lost all confidence in myself. I attended a few classes at the beginning of the semester, but after the first midterm exam, I completely stopped. My only relief was the dance team I was on. As expected, I failed all of my classes and had to withdraw (退学) from MIT.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Since I was forced to withdraw, I had no choice but to tell my parents.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I graduated with the highest honor, and now I am fortunate enough to have started my PhD.

American Brian Linden first came to China at the end of August 1984. That month of this year, the 61-year-old man visited his hometown, Chicago. But wherever he is, Linden always holds China in his heart as his “spiritual homeland”.
His plans for September were to deliver lectures with a focus on China, before returning to Xizhou town in Dali, Yunnan to oversee the operation of the Linden Center — his namesake hotel brand and cultural exchange center founded in 2008. “The initial intention behind establishing the Linden Center was to build a bridge for cultural exchanges between China and the world,” says Linden. “What China has accomplished in 40 years is a miracle. I want to tella better story of China to the world. ”
Before coming to China, he was a part-time night school college student, who cleaned carpets for a living. One day, he went to clean the carpet of an instructor who had just returned from China. He was captivated by the teacher’s amazing stories about China. Soon after, he saw a poster announcing scholarships to study overseas in China and applied. “It changed my life,” he says.
While undertaking graduate studies at Nanjing University, he met his wife Jeanee, a Chinese-American woman. The couple took train journeys across the country with their sons,not only exploring China’s beautiful landscapes but also feeling the people’s warmth and kindness.China has given so much to Linden that he, in turn, wanted to contribute to China’s growth and promote the country to the outside world.
Linden’s team transformed the courtard into a hotel according to the principle of “preserving the old as it was”, conserving the ethnic Bai architecture, layout (布局), and wooden carvings. International visitors not only booked guestrooms at the center but also explored the surrounding Bai villages under the guidance of its staff. Linden hopes to go beyond enhancing global understanding of China in general to boosting people-to-people exchanges with the US in particular.

C. Confused. D. Concerned.
6. What is the principle of Linden’s team while changing the courtyard into a hotel

Habitat improvement and a series of protective measures have played a crucial role in the rise of the population of Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys(滇金丝猴) , one of the planet’s most endangered animals.
The Yunnan snub-nosed monkey, also known as the black-and-white snub-nosed monkey, lives in high-altitude areas at more than 3,000 meters above sea level in Southwest China’s Yunnan province and the neighboring Xizang autonomous region. About 65 percent of its population inhabits the Baima Snow Mountain National Nature Reserve.
“Currently, the reserve is home to about 3,000 Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys,” said Lai Jiandong, head of the Wildlife Protection Station at the Baima reserve. When the reserve was first established in 1983, however, the population numbered a mere 800.
Lai stresses the continuous enhancement of management levels within the Baima reserve including the adoption of cutting-edge technologies for monitoring and protecting not only the snub-nosed monkeys but also other endangered wildlife species.
“In recent years, using technologies like infrared(红外线) cameras, we have taken pictures of rare and endangered creatures such as leopards, jackals and sambar deer,” Lai noted, emphasizing the important role of such advancements in wild animal protection.
The primary duties of the Wildlife ProtectionStation involve the daily care of the snub-nosed monkeys in the Weixi Lisu autonomous county, as well as the sheltering and rescue of injured animals. “Over the past few years, we have provided assistance to more than 200 wild animals, including Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys, pandas and macaques,” said Lai.
The Yunnan snub-nosed monkey is under China’s national first-class protection and has been listed as an endangered species on the Red List of Threatened Species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. They will be better protected.
8. Which isn’t a factor that contributes to the increase of the population of Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys
A. Rising public concerns. B. Advanced technologies.
C. Protective measures. D. Improved living habitats.
9. What do we learn about Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys
A. They only live in Yunnan province.
B Their population has dropped sharply since 1983.
C. They are well-protected by the Wildlife Protection Station.
D. Over 200 Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys have been rescued up to now.
10. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. People rescue many injured animals in Yunnan.
B. Infrared cameras have captured images of rare wildlife.
C. Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys increase in high mountains.
D. Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys are the most endangered animals.
11. Where may the passage come from
A A textbook. B. A newspaper.
C. An advertisement. D. An economic journal.

While often seen as a negative (消极的) emotion, anger can also be a powerful motivator (促进因素) for people to achieve challenging goals in their lives, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
“People often believe that a state of happiness is perfect,” said lead author Heather Lench, PhD, a professor in the department of psychologcal and brain sciences at Texas A & M University, “but previous research suggests that a mix of emotions, including negative emotions like anger, results in good outcomes.”
The functionalist theory of emotion suggests that all emotions, good or bad, are reactions to events within a person’s environment and help that person to make proper actions, according to Lench. For example, sadness may suggest that a person needs to seek help or emotional support, while anger may indicate a person needs to take action to overcome an obstacle (障碍).
To better understand the role of anger in achieving goals, researchers conducted a series of experiments involving more than 1,000 participants and analyzed survey data from more than 1,400 respondents. In each experiment, participants either had an emotional response (such as anger, amusement, desire or sadness) or a neutral (中性的) emotional state, and then were presented with a challenging goal. Across all the experiments, anger improved people’s ability to reach their goals compared with a neutral condition in a variety of challenging situations.
“Our research adds to the growing evidence that a mix of positive and negative emotions promotes well-being, and that using negative emotions as tools can be particularly effective in some situations,” Lench said.
12. What is commonly believed concerning people’s emotions
A. It is believed that a state of joy is great.
B. A feeling of sadness leads to poor effect.
C. Anger is actually a positive emotion.
D. Pride acts as an obstacle to success.
13. Why did researchers do a seres of experiments
A. They hoped to overturn the previous findings.
B. They hoped to prove that a state of happiness is ideal.
C. They hoped to find the relationship between positive and negative emotions.
D. They hoped to have a better understanding of the role of anger in attaining goals.
14. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The problem of the research. B. The background of the research.
C. The process of the research. D. The significance of the research.
15. What’s Lench’s attitude to their research
A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Uncaring. D. Critical.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一项实验表明，愤怒是人们实现人生中具有挑战性目标的强大动力。

40. steps 41. who
42. the 43. fight
44. on 45. yourself
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇演讲稿。讲述了用两年去改变自己。
【36题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：两年不算什么，但与此同时，两年可以完成很多事情。分析句子结构可知，accomplish作本句谓语，和主语a lot之间是被动关系，用被动语态，空前是情态动词，后接动词原形。故填be accomplished。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：你可以尝试一项你一直想开始的运动，然后变得很擅长。此处是固定搭配：want to do sth.意为“想做某事”。故填to start。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意：你可以创业，并取得巨大成功。根据“You can start a business”和“make it a big success”可知，两句是并列关系，应用and连接。故填and。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：两年时间不算什么，很容易浪费，但只要迈出小步，做出实质性承诺并保持一致性，你就能让它变得有意义。空处修饰空后的形容词，用副词修饰。故填extremely。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：两年时间不算什么，很容易浪费，但只要迈出小步，做出实质性承诺并保持一致性，你就能让它变得有意义。空前是形容词，所以空处应填名词作宾语，step意为“步”，为可数名词，根据句意，此处用复数形式。故填steps。
【41题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：不要让你的过去决定你是什么样的人。分析句子结构可知，空处引导宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，指人，可以用who引导。故填who。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：你不必一直是同一个人。此处是固定搭配：the same意为“相同的”。故填the。
【43题详解】
考查动词。句意：年龄只是一个数字，我们都应该激发自己的独特性，与自己的局限性作斗争。根据and可知空处和前文的inspire并列，作并列谓语，所以空处应填动词原形。故填fight，
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：通过每天做你喜欢的事情，即使只有几分钟，你会学会享受这个过程。此处是固定搭配：on a daily basis意为“每天”。故填on。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意：你会看到自己的进化。根据语境可知宾语和主语指代的是同一个人，此处应用反身代词符合语境，根据句意此处you指的是你自己。故填yourself。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My first term at MIT was amazing-I was very motivated and got all A’s, with everything being passed. My second semester went pretty well, too, but I struggled very much in organic chemistry and ended up with a B. That was my first B ever, and though I was disappointed, I shook it off and tried to stay positive.
I was not even sure why I took organic chemistry, since I was interested in math. My parents were pressuring me to become a doctor like them so I guess I was trying to appease (安抚) them. But at the same time, I was desperately running away from them and their control. I was very conflicted and had no idea what I want to do in the future.
I had always excelled in math and so I chose to pursue that. I didn’t know it at that time,but my very sense of self-worth was based on the fact that I was good at math. But my third semester ended up with a D in math, and I didn’t do that well in my other classes, either.
I started skipping classes more and more; sleeping more and more. It seemed like all my friends were doing so well, getting some internship (实习) opportunities over the summers, while my parents made me fly home and stay with them every summer. The next semester I got 2 F’s.
In my fifth semester, I realized that I was awful at higher-level math and so I switched my major to computer science. I had lost all confidence in myself. I attended a few classes at the beginning of the semester, but after the first midterm exam, I completely stopped. My only relief was the dance team I was on. As expected, I failed all of my classes and had to withdraw (退学) from MIT.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Since I was forced to withdraw, I had no choice but to tell my parents.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I graduated with the highest honor, and now I am fortunate enough to have started my PhD.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Since I was forced to withdraw, I had no choice but to tell my parents. I was very nervous. But instead of yelling or hitting me, they just held me and hugged me tightly. The next day, my dad took me to a nearby art college to go on my education. Before my first biology test, I was more than nervous. But I passed finally. Then I joined in a biology lab. Gradually, I regained my confidence. Not until at that moment did I realize that I liked it very much. I wanted to be a scientist and I would work hard to realize it.
I graduated with the highest honor, and now I am fortunate enough to have started my PhD. Though it ended up taking me 5 years to graduate from college, I can say now that failing out of MIT was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I have realized that a person is not their grades. I have realized how much my parents loved me and I never could have recovered without their support, and I thought we finally understood each other. I was more than grateful to them. I finally discovered my passion in life, and now I get to put together my intense curiosity for biology with my love for math!
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为中心展开，主要描写作者从上大一时的自信满满，各学科都得A，到学不会，考不及格的变化。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“被迫辍学以后，我别无选择，只能告诉我的父母。”可知，第一段可描写作者把辍学的事情告诉他的父母之后，得到父亲的原谅，作者继续找到新的学校继续学习，并意识到自己喜欢生物，梦想成为一名科学家。
②由第二段首句内容“我以最高荣誉毕业，现在我很幸运开始攻读博士学位。”可知，第二段可描写作者获得荣誉之后，对父母的感激，以及自己的感悟。
