“I have cancer，” Mom said and held me in a tight hug.I could feel her chest shaking as she tried not to cry but failed.
For all of my twenty-four years，my mom had been supportive.Strength and protection had always flowed from her to me.Now I knew it would have to flow the other way.
Mom didn’t stay down for long.After the shock of breast-cancer，she armed herself with a notebook and a pen and a thousand questions for the doctors.She took notes on white blood cell counts and medications(药物) with long names as though she were studying for entrance exams into medical school.“The not-knowing is the worst，” she said.
The operation was successful.The chemo(化疗) was the harder part.I went with Mom to every chemo treatment.She rarely complained，though her hair was gone and her toenails and fingernails fell out one by one.She joked that she could save money on nail polish and put it toward the doctor bills，even though she never wore nail polish.“Cancer can take my hair，my nails，my health，my very life.But it can’t take my smile，” Mom said.
Mom learned to share her fears with me，and it formed an even deeper bond between us.Yet I am certain there were fears she didn’t share because she was still protecting me—worries she only shared with Dad.Even in the darkest hours，she would just joke about the cancer.Mom always said，“When you look your greatest fear in the eye and laugh at it，you take away some of its power.”
Mom was one of the lucky ones.She did beat her cancer，though not without scars.From her，I’ve learned I may not get to choose what I face，but I do get to choose how I face it.
24．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean
A．There were other ways to treat cancer.
B．I should be the one being there for Mom.
C．Mom had to stay stronger to beat cancer.
D．Knowledge of cancer would be helpful.
25．Which of the following words can best describe Mom
A．Optimistic and determined.
B．Considerate and ambitious.
C．Humorous and generous.
D．Caring and knowledgeable.
26．Why didn’t Mom share all the fears with the author
A．She only shared with Dad.
B．She would just joke about the cancer.
C．She wanted to protect the author.
D．She formed a deeper bond with the author.
27．What lesson did the author learn from Mom
A．Luck counts in beating diseases.
B．Complaint does no good to one’s health.
C．Sharing feelings helps reduce sufferings a lot.
D．Positive attitudes get one through hardship.
C
In the days before the Internet，critical thinking was the most important skill of informed citizens.But in the digital age，according to Anastasia Kozyreva，a psychologist at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development，and her colleagues，an even more important skill is critical ignoring.
As the researchers point out，we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention.They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information，so they can expose us to profit-generating advertisements.Therefore，we are no longer customers but products，and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention.To protect ourselves from this，Kozyreva advocates for learning the skill of critical ignoring，in which readers intentionally control their information environment to reduce exposure to false and low-quality information.
According to Kozyreva，critical ignoring comprises three strategies.The first is to design our environments，which involves the removal of low-quality yet hard-to-resist information from around.Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes.Likewise，we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight.As with dieting，if one tries to bank on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”，he’ll surely fail.So，it’s better to just keep them out of sight to begin with.
The next is to evaluate the reliability of information，whose purpose is to protect you from false and misleading information.It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream news agencies which have their reputations for being trustworthy.
The last goes by the phrase “do not feed the trolls.” Trolls are actors who intentionally spread false and hurtful information online to cause harm.It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight，but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts.So，it’s best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.
By sharpening our critical ignoring skills in these ways，we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding falling victim to those who try to control our attention，time，and minds.
28．What can we learn about the attention economy from paragraph 2
A．It offers little information.
B．It features depressing stories.
C．It saves time for Internet users.
D．It seeks profits from each click.
29．Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3
A．To discuss the quality of information.
B．To prove the benefits of healthy food.
C．To show the importance of the environment.
D．To explain the effectiveness of willpower.
30．What should we do to handle Internet trolls according to the text
A．Send hard facts to them.
B．Reveal their intention.
C．Correct their behaviour.
D．Turn a deaf ear to them.
31．What is the text mainly about
A．Practising the skill of critical ignoring in the digital age.
B．Reasons for critical thinking in the attention economy.
C．Maximizing the benefits of critical ignoring on the Internet.
D．Strategies of abandoning critical thinking for Internet users.
D
“Earth” has always been an odd choice of name for the third planet from the Sun.After all，if an alien examines it through a telescope，he would note that two-thirds of its surface is covered not by earth at all，but by oceans of water.
However，most of the oceans on Earth remain unexplored.For example，photographers are fond of pointing out that scientists have mapped nearly all the oceans’ surface，but less than a quarter of the seabed.Biologists think the oceans might host more than 2 million species of animals，of which they have so far identified perhaps a tenth.
A new project may change this.Launched in London on April 27th,2023，Ocean Census aims to discover 100,000 new species of ocean animals over the coming decade.Its first ship，Kronprins Haakon，set sail on April 29 for the Barents Sea.
The project is launched for two reasons.One is that the longer scientists wait，the less there will be to study.“Top on our agenda are species thought to be in the greatest danger from climate change，” says Oliver Steeds，founder of the project.“Otherwise，the forest is burning down and we won’t know what was there before it is lost.”
The second reason is technological.Biologists find about 2,000 new species a year，a rate hardly changed since Darwin’s day.Ocean Census is betting that it can go faster.Fancy cameras on remote-operated vehicles，for instance，allow scientists to scan deep-sea creatures such as jellyfish without removing them from their habitat.Just as the huge pressures of the deep sea are deadly for humans，taking such a jellyfish to the surface for examination may reduce it to gooey slime(黏液)．
Exactly what the new effort might turn up，of course，is impossible to predict.But history suggests it will be fruitful.Half a century ago，scientists discovered hot seabeds that were home to organisms living happily in conditions that，until then，had been thought harmful to life.These days，such hot seabeds are thought to be one possible candidate for the origin of all life on Earth.
32．What phenomenon is described in the second paragraph
A．The oceans are home to most of the animals.
B．The oceans have not been studied in depth.
C．Scientists enjoy photographing the oceans.
D．“Earth” is not a proper name for our planet.
33．What does Oliver Steeds most probably mean
A．More efforts from scientists are necessary.
B．Animals in the forest should be rescued，too.
C．Climate change is endangering the forest.
D．The project should start with threatened species.
34．What can we learn from the jellyfish example in paragraph 5
A．It is mature to study the oceans now.
B．Scientists should slow down their studies.
C．It is harmful to study deep-sea animals.
D．Researchers want more advanced equipment.
35．What does the author think of Ocean Census
A．Dangerous. B．Creative.
C．Promising. D．Unnecessary.

Stop Trying to Keep Up with the Joneses
It is so easy to get caught up in a never-ending circle of comparing yourself to others and yet this seldom is beneficial.You may have heard the expression，“ 36 ” To me，this rings true as I have found it is quite difficult to compare myself to others and feel joyful at the same time.
37 Typically，comparison leads to regarding others as superior to you in some ways and feeling inadequate or inferior.“I am not as successful，capable and attractive as they are.” “Why don’t I have what they have？” We use comparison as an avenue for self-criticism，“What’s wrong with me I must be an inadequate loser.” 38
We often tell ourselves we are acceptable only if we meet certain standards，and we evaluate how we measure up by looking at others.The tendency is to conclude that we are not measuring up，particularly if we have a low sense of self-worth. 39 We don’t just ask ourselves，“What’s wrong with me？” We worry what others will think：“What’s wrong with them？” The fear of rejection creates uneasiness and anxiety.
Comparison could be deceptive. 40 This may be temporarily true，yet a comparison is an internal process that is ultimately based on our thoughts and sense of self，not external circumstances.We can always find something else to compare，another expectation we tell ourselves we are not meeting.
To stop comparing ourselves to others，we have to recognize that the comparison game is unwinnable and exhausting and stop playing.
A．This blocks self-acceptance.
B．Comparison is the thief of joy.
C．Values are a solution to comparison.
D．This can solidify your sense of self-acceptance.
E．Comparison robs us of joy and fuels self-criticism.
F．It tells us meeting expectations will make us happier.
G．And we worry others will judge our assumed failures.

I started stuttering(结巴) at 10 when my father died.I lost confidence when speaking，especially in unfamiliar situations.Science seemed a(n) 41 for me as I assumed that research is done alone and requires little interaction with others. 42 ，I soon learned it’s hardly a job for someone afraid to talk.
Throughout the course of my doctoral studies，I practiced every talk I had to 43 over and over until I was sure I would not have to think about the contents when presenting.During group meetings，where my familiar workmates already knew about my 44 ，I learned to speak up.But in a 45 audience，such as a departmental seminar(研讨会)，I kept quiet.If I had question during a talk，I would wait to ask the speaker 46 or just keep it to myself.
This all 47 when I moved to a new institution and was asked to start a seminar series.And suddenly I was inviting potential speakers and planning their 48 .I soon realized I could not just sit back and 49 as before，but I was worried that my stutter might trip me up in front of my fellow workers.Anyway，I managed to push that 50 aside and accept the responsibility.
The first few talks were quite 51 .As I got more practice week after week，I discovered the 52 went far beyond being a good host.
I still 53 sometimes，and I carefully choose my words to 54 my stutter.But I know that facing my 55 has helped me become a better researcher.

第二节　(满分25分)
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。
Having already obtained many medals since starting to play golf at the age of ten，Larry，at sixteen，had developed into one of the best young golf prospects in the country.And he was elected the most valuable player of his high school team.Following his junior year，Larry matched himself against seventy-four of the nation’s best junior golfers in national competitions，and he performed better than the majority of them.
Larry’s performance drew the interest of coaches from some of the best college golf teams in the country.Wanting to stay close to home，he accepted a scholarship to the University of Houston.“Just think，everything will be taken care of，and I’ll be close to home.And it won’t cost us anything，” Larry told his mother，Missy.“And I’ll be playing for one of the best college teams in the country.”
Fighting back tears，Missy hugged her son，knowing he had worked so hard to win a scholarship to make things easier for her.That summer，Larry worked even harder than ever on his golf game，hitting hundreds of balls daily and taking a part-time job in a golf club at night to prepare for college.
Late that summer，unfortunately，Larry had a terrible car accident.“I’m sorry，but we have to cut off your son’s arm below the elbow(肘)，” one doctor told Larry’s parents.“Is he going to be all right？” Missy asked.“We don’t know，” the doctor answered.
Upset，Larry’s father wondered about his son’s reaction to the loss of his left arm.“How will Larry ever get along without golf？” he thought.He also realized there was a far more pressing matter than an unclear golf career.“They’ve got to save Larry’s life，” he said to himself.“That’s all that matters now.”
After almost ninety days，Larry’s condition finally improved and he was no longer in danger.One night Larry awakened，found his left hand missing，and cried helplessly.His father raced to the hospital.“Dad，how am I ever going to play golf？” he asked.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
“Honey，you still have one arm left，” his father replied.
Larry’s father reached out to various companies and asked if they could design an artificial hand for Larry.

W：Good morning，folks.I’m Connie Johnson here with this week’s weather report. Today，we’re going to see blue skies and a high of 90 degrees.Don’t forget your sunscreen! It’s only 9：00 in the morning，and the temperature has already risen to 85 degrees.Looking at the week ahead，it’s clear that we’ve officially entered summer. Tuesday through Friday，we’ll see temperatures in the 80s and 90s. We’ll get a bit of a break this weekend，when temperatures drop to the mid-70s.This week and possibly part of next week，there will be periods of high winds，especially in the south.Please watch out for wildfires，and if you see any smoke，be sure to call emergency services right away.We don’t want another fire like the one we had in Middleton County last year. When temperatures are this hot，it’s important to drink a lot of water，and to stay out of the sun. It’s especially important to watch young children and older people for signs of overheating and loss of water.Well，that’s it，folks.Stay cool out there!

“I have cancer，” Mom said and held me in a tight hug.I could feel her chest shaking as she tried not to cry but failed.
For all of my twenty-four years，my mom had been supportive.Strength and protection had always flowed from her to me.Now I knew it would have to flow the other way.
Mom didn’t stay down for long.After the shock of breast-cancer，she armed herself with a notebook and a pen and a thousand questions for the doctors.She took notes on white blood cell counts and medications(药物) with long names as though she were studying for entrance exams into medical school.“The not-knowing is the worst，” she said.
The operation was successful.The chemo(化疗) was the harder part.I went with Mom to every chemo treatment.She rarely complained，though her hair was gone and her toenails and fingernails fell out one by one.She joked that she could save money on nail polish and put it toward the doctor bills，even though she never wore nail polish.“Cancer can take my hair，my nails，my health，my very life.But it can’t take my smile，” Mom said.
Mom learned to share her fears with me，and it formed an even deeper bond between us.Yet I am certain there were fears she didn’t share because she was still protecting me—worries she only shared with Dad.Even in the darkest hours，she would just joke about the cancer.Mom always said，“When you look your greatest fear in the eye and laugh at it，you take away some of its power.”
Mom was one of the lucky ones.She did beat her cancer，though not without scars.From her，I’ve learned I may not get to choose what I face，but I do get to choose how I face it.

D．Caring and knowledgeable.
答案　A
解析　推理判断题。根据第四段中“She rarely complained”和倒数第二段中“Even in the darkest hours，she would just joke about the cancer.”可知，作者的妈妈很乐观；根据第三段中“She took notes on white blood cell counts and medications(药物) with long names as though she were studying for entrance exams into medical school.”和最后一段中“She did beat her cancer，though not without scars.”可以看出作者的妈妈要战胜病魔的坚定决心，故选A。
26．Why didn’t Mom share all the fears with the author
A．She only shared with Dad.
B．She would just joke about the cancer.
C．She wanted to protect the author.
D．She formed a deeper bond with the author.
答案　C

In the days before the Internet，critical thinking was the most important skill of informed citizens.But in the digital age，according to Anastasia Kozyreva，a psychologist at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development，and her colleagues，an even more important skill is critical ignoring.
As the researchers point out，we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention.They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information，so they can expose us to profit-generating advertisements.Therefore，we are no longer customers but products，and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention.To protect ourselves from this，Kozyreva advocates for learning the skill of critical ignoring，in which readers intentionally control their information environment to reduce exposure to false and low-quality information.
According to Kozyreva，critical ignoring comprises three strategies.The first is to design our environments，which involves the removal of low-quality yet hard-to-resist information from around.Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes.Likewise，we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight.As with dieting，if one tries to bank on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”，he’ll surely fail.So，it’s better to just keep them out of sight to begin with.
The next is to evaluate the reliability of information，whose purpose is to protect you from false and misleading information.It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream news agencies which have their reputations for being trustworthy.
The last goes by the phrase “do not feed the trolls.” Trolls are actors who intentionally spread false and hurtful information online to cause harm.It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight，but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts.So，it’s best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.
By sharpening our critical ignoring skills in these ways，we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding falling victim to those who try to control our attention，time，and minds.
28．What can we learn about the attention economy from paragraph 2
A．It offers little information.
B．It features depressing stories.
C．It saves time for Internet users.
D．It seeks profits from each click.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中“As the researchers point out...and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention.”可知，注意力经济让我们接触到盈利的广告，它从每次点击中寻求利润。故选D。
29．Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3
A．To discuss the quality of information.
B．To prove the benefits of healthy food.
C．To show the importance of the environment.
D．To explain the effectiveness of willpower.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中“The first is to design our environments...Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes...So，it’s better to just keep them out of sight to begin with.”可推知，作者在第三段提到节食者，是为了强调，我们需要建立一个让那些吸引眼球的东西远离我们视线的数字环境，即表明环境的重要性。故选C。
30．What should we do to handle Internet trolls according to the text
A．Send hard facts to them.
B．Reveal their intention.
C．Correct their behaviour.
D．Turn a deaf ear to them.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Trolls are actors who intentionally spread false and hurtful information online to cause harm...it’s best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.”可知，对付网络喷子，我们最好对他们充耳不闻。故选D。
31．What is the text mainly about
A．Practising the skill of critical ignoring in the digital age.
B．Reasons for critical thinking in the attention economy.
C．Maximizing the benefits of critical ignoring on the Internet.
D．Strategies of abandoning critical thinking for Internet users.
答案　A
解析　主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But in the digital age...an even more important skill is critical ignoring.”和第三段中“According to Kozyreva，critical ignoring comprises three strategies.”以及后文具体介绍这三种策略，所以本文主要讲述了在数字时代要养成批判性忽视的习惯。故选A。
D
“Earth” has always been an odd choice of name for the third planet from the Sun.After all，if an alien examines it through a telescope，he would note that two-thirds of its surface is covered not by earth at all，but by oceans of water.
However，most of the oceans on Earth remain unexplored.For example，photographers are fond of pointing out that scientists have mapped nearly all the oceans’ surface，but less than a quarter of the seabed.Biologists think the oceans might host more than 2 million species of animals，of which they have so far identified perhaps a tenth.
A new project may change this.Launched in London on April 27th,2023，Ocean Census aims to discover 100,000 new species of ocean animals over the coming decade.Its first ship，Kronprins Haakon，set sail on April 29 for the Barents Sea.
The project is launched for two reasons.One is that the longer scientists wait，the less there will be to study.“Top on our agenda are species thought to be in the greatest danger from climate change，” says Oliver Steeds，founder of the project.“Otherwise，the forest is burning down and we won’t know what was there before it is lost.”
The second reason is technological.Biologists find about 2,000 new species a year，a rate hardly changed since Darwin’s day.Ocean Census is betting that it can go faster.Fancy cameras on remote-operated vehicles，for instance，allow scientists to scan deep-sea creatures such as jellyfish without removing them from their habitat.Just as the huge pressures of the deep sea are deadly for humans，taking such a jellyfish to the surface for examination may reduce it to gooey slime(黏液)．
Exactly what the new effort might turn up，of course，is impossible to predict.But history suggests it will be fruitful.Half a century ago，scientists discovered hot seabeds that were home to organisms living happily in conditions that，until then，had been thought harmful to life.These days，such hot seabeds are thought to be one possible candidate for the origin of all life on Earth.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了正在实施的“海洋普查计划”的必要性及有利条件。
32．What phenomenon is described in the second paragraph
A．The oceans are home to most of the animals.
B．The oceans have not been studied in depth.
C．Scientists enjoy photographing the oceans.
D．“Earth” is not a proper name for our planet.
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。根据第二段内容以及关键句“but less than a quarter of the seabed”“of which they have so far identified perhaps a tenth”可知，这些论述证明了该段首句“However，most of the oceans on Earth remain unexplored.”描述的这一现象，即科学家们对海洋的研究还很浅显。故选B。
33．What does Oliver Steeds most probably mean
A．More efforts from scientists are necessary.
B．Animals in the forest should be rescued，too.
C．Climate change is endangering the forest.
D．The project should start with threatened species.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第四段Oliver Steeds的话“Top on our agenda are species thought to be in the greatest danger from climate change”可知，他认为受到气候变化威胁最大的物种应作为该项目的首要任务，由此推知，他想表达的是这个项目应该从濒危物种开始。故选D。
34．What can we learn from the jellyfish example in paragraph 5
A．It is mature to study the oceans now.
B．Scientists should slow down their studies.
C．It is harmful to study deep-sea animals.
D．Researchers want more advanced equipment.
答案　A
解析　推理判断题。根据第五段中“Fancy cameras on remote-operated vehicles，for instance，allow scientists to scan deep-sea creatures such as jellyfish without removing them from their habitat.”可知，无需将水母从栖息地移走，通过远程操作工具上的高级摄像机扫描就能够对其进行研究，这个举例是为了证明该段首句“The second reason is technological.”的论述。由此推知，海洋研究的技术已经比较成熟。故选A。
35．What does the author think of Ocean Census
A．Dangerous. B．Creative.
C．Promising. D．Unnecessary.
答案　C
解析　观点态度题。根据最后一段中“Exactly what the new effort might turn up，of course，is impossible to predict.But history suggests it will be fruitful.”可推断，作者认为这个项目会带来富有成效的成果，是有前景的。故选C。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Stop Trying to Keep Up with the Joneses
It is so easy to get caught up in a never-ending circle of comparing yourself to others and yet this seldom is beneficial.You may have heard the expression，“ 36 ” To me，this rings true as I have found it is quite difficult to compare myself to others and feel joyful at the same time.
37 Typically，comparison leads to regarding others as superior to you in some ways and feeling inadequate or inferior.“I am not as successful，capable and attractive as they are.” “Why don’t I have what they have？” We use comparison as an avenue for self-criticism，“What’s wrong with me I must be an inadequate loser.” 38
We often tell ourselves we are acceptable only if we meet certain standards，and we evaluate how we measure up by looking at others.The tendency is to conclude that we are not measuring up，particularly if we have a low sense of self-worth. 39 We don’t just ask ourselves，“What’s wrong with me？” We worry what others will think：“What’s wrong with them？” The fear of rejection creates uneasiness and anxiety.
Comparison could be deceptive. 40 This may be temporarily true，yet a comparison is an internal process that is ultimately based on our thoughts and sense of self，not external circumstances.We can always find something else to compare，another expectation we tell ourselves we are not meeting.
To stop comparing ourselves to others，we have to recognize that the comparison game is unwinnable and exhausting and stop playing.
A．This blocks self-acceptance.
B．Comparison is the thief of joy.
C．Values are a solution to comparison.
D．This can solidify your sense of self-acceptance.
E．Comparison robs us of joy and fuels self-criticism.
F．It tells us meeting expectations will make us happier.
G．And we worry others will judge our assumed failures.
36．答案　B
解析　根据上文“You may have heard the expression”以及下文“To me，this rings true as I have found it is quite difficult to compare myself to others and feel joyful at the same time.”可知，此处应填入一句与比较和快乐相关的表达，B选项“Comparison is the thief of joy.”符合语境，故选B。
37．答案　E
解析　根据下文“Typically，comparison leads to regarding others as superior to you in some ways and feeling inadequate or inferior.”和“We use comparison as an avenue for self-criticism”可知，此段在阐述比较会带来的负面情绪，E选项“Comparison robs us of joy and fuels self-criticism.”能够很好地概括该段内容，符合语境。故选E。
38．答案　A
解析　根据上文“We use comparison as an avenue for self-criticism，‘What’s wrong with me I must be an inadequate loser.’”可知，自我批判阻碍了自我认可，A 选项“This blocks self-acceptance.”承接上文，符合逻辑，故选A。
39．答案　G
解析　根据下文“We don’t just ask ourselves，‘What’s wrong with me？’ We worry what others will think：‘What’s wrong with them？’”可知，此处强调我们除了担心自己，还担心他人对我们的评价，G选项“And we worry others will judge our assumed failures.”引出下文内容，故选G。
40．答案　F
解析　根据上文“Comparison could be deceptive.”可知，此处应说明比较具有欺骗性的原因，F选项“It tells us meeting expectations will make us happier.”符合语境，故选F。
第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分)
第一节　(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)

I started stuttering(结巴) at 10 when my father died.I lost confidence when speaking，especially in unfamiliar situations.Science seemed a(n) 41 for me as I assumed that research is done alone and requires little interaction with others. 42 ，I soon learned it’s hardly a job for someone afraid to talk.
Throughout the course of my doctoral studies，I practiced every talk I had to 43 over and over until I was sure I would not have to think about the contents when presenting.During group meetings，where my familiar workmates already knew about my 44 ，I learned to speak up.But in a 45 audience，such as a departmental seminar(研讨会)，I kept quiet.If I had question during a talk，I would wait to ask the speaker 46 or just keep it to myself.
This all 47 when I moved to a new institution and was asked to start a seminar series.And suddenly I was inviting potential speakers and planning their 48 .I soon realized I could not just sit back and 49 as before，but I was worried that my stutter might trip me up in front of my fellow workers.Anyway，I managed to push that 50 aside and accept the responsibility.
The first few talks were quite 51 .As I got more practice week after week，I discovered the 52 went far beyond being a good host.
I still 53 sometimes，and I carefully choose my words to 54 my stutter.But I know that facing my 55 has helped me become a better researcher.
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者患有口吃，为了逃避交流，作者投向了科学，但后来作者意识到研究也需要说话，经过不断地练习讲话以及作者思想的转变，作者逐渐克服了口吃的问题，直面恐惧让作者成了一名更好的研究者。

44．A.failure B．career
C．habit D．problem
答案　D
解析　根据“my familiar workmates”可知，熟悉作者的同事知道作者有口吃问题。故选D。
45．A.larger B．cleverer
C．less attentive D．more enthusiastic
答案　A
解析　根据“such as a departmental seminar(研讨会)”可知，这里与“group meetings”相对，表示在大庭广众之中。故选A。

第二节　(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
In Chinese culture，long noodles are thought to symbolize long life，which 56____________(become) part of the culture and history of longevity noodles and has been documented for more than 1,000 years.
In northern China，noodles are a popular Chinese New Year custom，where the traditional custom is 57. (have) dumplings on the first day and noodles on the second day.In other places，people don’t have longevity noodles during Chinese New Year，but they do make a bowl of dalumian，northern-style 58. (boil) noodles with cut-up meat，mushrooms and an egg，59. longevity noodles for their family’s birthday.
In North America，longevity noodles，no matter which type，are a popular Chinese New Year dish among Chinese 60. (community)．This shouldn’t come as a surprise，given the huge size of the country and its many 61. (region) cuisines and traditions.As for why many Chinese Americans 62. (main) associate the tradition with Chinese New Year，it 63.___________(believe) that when people are away from their ancestral roots，they may not feel their identity for the rest of the year，64. during festivals，the love for their culture would explode.As 65. result，the degree of continuity and symbolism of one’s culture in an overseas community often goes beyond that of the local.
56．答案　has become
解析　考查时态和主谓一致。空处为which引导的定语从句中的谓语，与“has been documented”并列，时态与其一致，所以空处的时态为现在完成时，主语which代指前面的句子，看作单数，助动词用has。故填has become。
57．答案　to have
解析　考查不定式。空处对主语custom进行具体说明，应用不定式作表语，故填to have。
58．答案　boiled
解析　考查过去分词作定语。分析句子可知，空处在句中作定语，动词boil与名词noodles之间为被动关系，所以此处用过去分词，意为“被煮熟的面条”，故填boiled。
59．答案　as
解析　考查介词。根据句意可知，这里指“作为”，介词as“当作，作为”符合题意，故填as。
60．答案　communities
解析　考查名词复数。among“在……中”，为介词，通常指在三者及三者以上中，所以此处用名词复数communities，故填communities。
61．答案　regional
解析　考查形容词。空处在句中作定语，修饰名词cuisines，所以应用形容词regional，故填regional。
62．答案　mainly
解析　考查副词。空处在句中作状语，修饰动词associate，所以应用副词mainly，故填mainly。
63．答案　is believed
解析　考查固定句式。根据上下文语境可知，空处用一般现在时，此处表示“人们相信……”应用“It is believed that...”，故填is believed。
64．答案　but/while
解析　考查连词。根据上文“when people are away from their ancestral roots，they may not feel their identity for the rest of the year”及下文“during festivals，the love for their culture would explode”可知，上下文为转折关系，因此此处用连词but/while，故填but/while。
65．答案　a
解析　考查冠词。固定短语as a result意为“结果”，故填a。

Adversity and Courage
参考范文

Having already obtained many medals since starting to play golf at the age of ten，Larry，at sixteen，had developed into one of the best young golf prospects in the country.And he was elected the most valuable player of his high school team.Following his junior year，Larry matched himself against seventy-four of the nation’s best junior golfers in national competitions，and he performed better than the majority of them.
Larry’s performance drew the interest of coaches from some of the best college golf teams in the country.Wanting to stay close to home，he accepted a scholarship to the University of Houston.“Just think，everything will be taken care of，and I’ll be close to home.And it won’t cost us anything，” Larry told his mother，Missy.“And I’ll be playing for one of the best college teams in the country.”
Fighting back tears，Missy hugged her son，knowing he had worked so hard to win a scholarship to make things easier for her.That summer，Larry worked even harder than ever on his golf game，hitting hundreds of balls daily and taking a part-time job in a golf club at night to prepare for college.
Late that summer，unfortunately，Larry had a terrible car accident.“I’m sorry，but we have to cut off your son’s arm below the elbow(肘)，” one doctor told Larry’s parents.“Is he going to be all right？” Missy asked.“We don’t know，” the doctor answered.
Upset，Larry’s father wondered about his son’s reaction to the loss of his left arm.“How will Larry ever get along without golf？” he thought.He also realized there was a far more pressing matter than an unclear golf career.“They’ve got to save Larry’s life，” he said to himself.“That’s all that matters now.”
After almost ninety days，Larry’s condition finally improved and he was no longer in danger.One night Larry awakened，found his left hand missing，and cried helplessly.His father raced to the hospital.“Dad，how am I ever going to play golf？” he asked.

“Honey，you still have one arm left，” his father replied.“And you’ve got the heart of a champion.We’ll figure something out.” Larry looked at his father，tears streaming down his face，but there was a flicker of determination in his eyes.His father continued，“You’ve overcome so much already，and you’ll overcome this too.We’ll find a way for you to play golf again.” Larry nodded，feeling a spark of hope despite the overwhelming loss.
Larry’s father reached out to various companies and asked if they could design an artificial hand for Larry.Many responded.After months of trials and adjustments，they finally developed a prosthetic arm that allowed Larry to grip and swing a golf club.Larry practiced tirelessly，adapting his technique and learning to play with his new arm.His hard work paid off as he gradually regained his skills and confidence.The following year，Larry returned to the golf course，not just as a player，but as an inspiration to everyone who witnessed his remarkable comeback.
