Never before had a Kitchen so much of a History
It tells of Freedom，Success，and of the Architecture of big American cities.Because that is
where it started：in the second half of the 19th century!
Welcome to a new Era of Kitchen Interior Design
Back then，a Generation of successful American Entrepreneurs dreamt of a new style of
Architecture to express their personal wealth.This dream was realized by young architects such as
Daniel Burnham and Stanford White.They all had studied at the Ecole des BeauxArts in Paris.And
they created a new style for Architecture and Interior Design，named after the famous French Art
Institute：BeauxArts.
SieMatic BeauxArts Breaks and Creates
In fact it was not a new style at all，but a composition of styles from different periods and
cultures.Many worldfamous structures such as the Chicago Art Institute and the Statue of Liberty
account for it.But what does that have to do with your kitchen？Just as much as you want it
to.Because in the same way that the anticonventional architects back then took the freedom to
combine elements from different historical eras，today，you too can break the conventional rules
of style and create something new：your own personal composition of your kitchen.For that，
SieMatic BeauxArts offers unique opportunities：A broad range of seemingly conflicting features
that you combine to a harmonious design of your own.You can choose from menu of various
forms，appealing colors，and precious materials，to create an environment that is much more
than just a kitchen：a reflection of your personality.
56．Why did the BeauxArts style attract American entrepreneurs?
A．It helped display their money status.
B．It was created by famous architects.
C．It was named after a famous institute.
D．It represented the 19th century urban culture.
57．What is unique of SieMatic BeauxArts?A．Its designs are anticonventional.
B．Its designs come from famous structures.
C．Its customers can enjoy their own composition.
D．Its customers can choose from various new styles.
B
However wealthy we may be，we can never find enough hours in the day to do everything
we want.Economics deals with this problem through the concept of opportunity cost，which
simply refers to whether someone’s time or money could be better spent on something else.
Every hour of our time has a value.For every hour we work at one job we could quite easily
be doing another，or be sleeping or watching a film.Each of these options has a different
opportunity cost—namely，what they cost us in missed opportunities.
Say you intend to watch a football match but the tickets are expensive and it will take you a
couple of hours to get to and from the stadium.Why not，you might reason，watch the game
from home and use the leftover money and time to have dinner with friends？ This—the
alternative use of your cash and time—is the opportunity cost.
For economists，every decision is made by knowledge of what one must forgo—in terms of
money and enjoyment—in order to take it up.By knowing precisely what you are receiving and
what you are missing out on，you ought to be able to make betterinformed，more reasonable
decisions.Consider that most famous economic rule of all：there’s no such thing as a free
lunch.Even if someone offers to take you out to lunch for free，the time you will spend in the
restaurant still costs you something in terms of forgone opportunities.
Some people find the idea of opportunity cost extremely discouraging：imagine spending
your entire life calculating whether your time would be better spent elsewhere doing something
more profitable or enjoyable.Yet，in a sense it’s human nature to do precisely that—we assess the
advantages and disadvantages of decisions all the time.
In the business world，a popular phrase is “value for money.” People want their cash to go
as far as possible.However，another is fast obtaining an advantage：“value for time.” The biggest
restriction on our resources is the number of hours we can devote to something，so we look to
maximize the return we get on our investment of time.By reading this passage you are giving over
a bit of your time which could be spent doing other activities，such as sleeping and eating.In
return，however，this passage will help you to think like an economist，closely considering the
opportunity cost of each of your decisions.
58．According to the passage，the concept of “opportunity cost” is applied to ________.
A．making more money
B．taking more opportunitiesC．reducing missed opportunities
D．weighing the choice of opportunities
59．The “leftover...time” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to the time ________.
A．spared for watching the match at home
B．taken to have dinner with friends
C．spent on the way to and from the match
D．saved from not going to watch the match
60．What are forgone opportunities?
A．Opportunities you forget in decisionmaking.
B．Opportunities you give up for better ones.
C．Opportunities you miss accidentally.
D．Opportunities you make up for.
C
Most damagingly，anger weakens a person’s ability to think clearly and keep control over
his behaviour.The angry person loses objectivity in evaluating the emotional significance of the
person or situation that arouses his anger.
Not everyone experiences anger in the same way；what angers one person may amuse
another.The specific expression of anger also differs from person to person based on biological
and cultural forces.In contemporary culture， physical expressions of anger are generally
considered too socially harmful to be tolerated.We no longer regard duels(决斗) as an appropriate
expression of anger resulting from one person’s awareness of insulting behaviour on the part of
another.
Anger can be identified in the brain，where the electrical activity changes.Under most
conditions EEG(脑电图) measures of electrical activity show balanced activity between the right
and left prefrontal(额叶前部) areas.Behaviourally this corresponds to the general evenhanded
disposition(意向) that most of us possess most of the time.But when we are angry the EEG of the
right and left prefrontal areas aren’t balanced and，as a result of this，we’re likely to react.And
our behavioural response to anger is different from our response to other emotions，whether
positive or negative.
Most positive emotions are associated with approach behaviour：we move closer to people
we like.Most negative emotions，in contrast，are associated with avoidance behaviour：we
move away from people and things that we dislike or that make us anxious.But anger is an
exception to this pattern.The angrier we are，the more likely we are to move towards the object of
our anger.This corresponds to what psychologists refer to as offensive anger：the angry person
moves closer in order to influence and control the person or situation causing his anger.Thisapproachandconfront behaviour is accompanied by a leftward prefrontal asymmetry(不对称) of
EEG activity.Interestingly， this asymmetry lessens if the angry person can experience
empathy(同感) towards the individual who is bringing forth the angry response.In defensive
anger，in contrast，the EEG asymmetry is directed to the right and the angry person feels
helpless in the face of the angerinspiring situation.
61．The “duels” example in Paragraph 2 proves that the expression of anger ________.
A．usually has a biological basis
B．varies among people
C．is socially and culturally shaped
D．influences one’s thinking and evaluation
62．What changes can be found in an angry brain?
A．Balanced electrical activity can be spotted.
B．Unbalanced patterns are found in prefrontal areas.
C．Electrical activity corresponds to one’s behaviour.
D．Electrical activity agrees with one’s disposition.
63．Which of the following is typical of offensive anger?
A．Approaching the source of anger.
B．Trying to control what is disliked.
C．Moving away from what is disliked.
D．Feeling helpless in the face of anger.
64．What is the key message of the last paragraph?
A．How anger differs from other emotions.
B．How anger relates to other emotions.
C．Behavioural responses to anger.
D．Behavioural patterns of anger.

August 1990，Boston
Dear Maya Shaoming，
To me，June 6,1990 is a special day.My longawaited dream came true the minute your
father cried，“A girl！” You are more than just a second child，more than just a girl to match
our boy.You，little daughter，are the link to our female line，the legacy of another woman’s
pain and sacrifice 31 years ago.
Let me tell you about your Chinese grandmother.Somewhere in Hong Kong，in the late
fifties，a young waitress found herself pregnant(怀孕) by a cook，probably a coworker at herrestaurant.She carried the baby to term，suffered to give it birth，and kept the little girl for the
first three months of her life.I like to think that my mother—your grandmother—loved me and
fought to raise me on her own，but that the daily struggle was too hard.Worn down by the
demands of the new baby and perhaps the constant threat of starvation，she made the painful
decision to give away her girl so that both of us might have a chance for a better life.
More likely，I was dropped at the orphanage(孤儿院)steps or somewhere else.I will
probably never know the truth.Having a baby in her unmarried state would have brought shame on
the family in China，so she probably kept my existence a secret.Once I was out of her life，it
was as if I had never been born.And so you and your brother and I are the missing leaves on a
family tree.
Do they ever wonder if we exist?
Before I was two，I was adopted by an Anglo couple.Fed three square meals a day，I grew
like a wild weed and grasped all the opportunities they had to offer—books，music，education，
church life and community activities.In a family of blueeyed blonds， though，
I_stood_out_like_a_sore_thumb.Whether from jealousy or fear of someone who looked so
different，my older brothers sometimes teased me about my unpleasing skin，or made fun of my
clumsy walk.Moody and impatient，burdened by fears that none of us realized resulted from my
early years of need，I was not an easy child to love.My mother and I conflicted countless times
over the years，but gradually came to see one another as real human beings with faults and
talents，and as women of strength in our own right.Lacking a mirror image in the mother who
raised me，I had to seek my identity as a woman on my own.The Asian American community has
helped me regain my double identity.as a woman on my own.The Asian American community has
helped me regain my double identity.
But part of me will always be missing:my beginnings,my personal history,all the delicate
details that give a person her origin.Nevertheless,someone gave me a lucky name “Siu Wai.”
“Siu” means“little,” and “Wai” means “clever.” Therefore,my baby name was “Clever little one.”
Who chose those words?Who cared enough to note my arrival in the world?
I lost my Chinese name for 18 years.It was Americanized for convenience to “Sue.” But like
an illfitting coat,it made me uncomfortable.I hated the name.But even more,I hated being
Chinese.It took many years to become proud of my Asian origin and work up the courage to take
back my birthname.That,plus a little knowledge of classroom Cantonese,is all the Chinese
culture I have to offer you.Not white,certainly,but not really Asian,I try to pave the way between
the two worlds and bridge the gap for you.Your name,“Shaoming,” is very much like mine—
“Shao” means “little.” And “ming” is “bright,” as in a shining sun or moon.Whose lives will you
brighten,little Maya? Your past is more complete than mine,and each day I cradle you in your
babyhood,generously giving you the loving care I lacked for my first two years.When I pat you,I
comfort the lost baby inside me who still cries for her mother.Sweet Maya,it doesn’t matter what you “become” later on.You have already fulfilled my
wildest dreams.
I love you,
Mommy

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
The expression，"everybody's doing it，"is very much at the center of the concept of peer
pressure．It is a strong influence of a group，especially of children，on members of that
group to behave as everybody else does．It can be positive or negative．Most people
experience it in some way during their lives．
People are social creatures by nature，and so it is hardly surprising that part of their self﹣
respect comes from the approval of others．This instinct （天性） is why the approval of
peers，or the fear of disapproval，is such a powerful force in many people's lives．It is the
same instinct that drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work，or to
answer"fine"when a stranger asks"how are you？"even if it is not necessarily true．There is a
practical aspect to this：it helps society to function efficiently，and encourages a general level
of self﹣discipline that simplifies day﹣to﹣day interaction．
For certain individuals，seeking social acceptance is so important that it becomes like an
addiction； in order to satisfy the desire，they may go so far as to abandon their sense of
right and wrong．Teens and young adults may feel forced to use drugs，or join gangs that
encourage criminal behavior．Mature adults may sometimes feel pressured to cover up illegal
activity at the company where they work，or end up in debt because they are unable to hold
back the desire to buy a house or car that they can't afford in an effort to"keep up with the
Joneses．"
However， peer pressure is not always negative． A student whose friends are good at
academics may be urged to study harder and get good grades．Players on a sports team may
feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win．This type of influence can also get a
friend off drugs，or to help an adult take up a good habit or drop a bad one．Study groups and
class projects are examples of positive peer groups that encourage people to better
themselves．
Schools try to teach kids about the dangers of negative peer pressure．They teach kids to stand
up and be themselves，and encourage them to politely decline to do things that they believe
are wrong．Similarly，it can be helpful to encourage children to greet the beneficial influenceof positive peer groups．

第五部分 书面表达(满分25分)
请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
When we read newspapers，we often come across such English words as “AIDS” and “PK.”
When we watch TV，we frequently hear words like “NBA” or “PM2.5.”When we speak，we
automatically use words like “OUT” or “Byebye.” English words and expressions like these are
getting popular.They have already become part of our daily language.And 239 English words have
been included in the latest Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese.
The inclusion has started a heated discussion.A group of scholars signed a letter of complaint
over the inclusion of these English words，which，they think，goes against Chinese language
policies.They not only worry that Chinese is borrowing an increasing number of English wordsbut are also concerned that the inclusion may hurt the dignity of the Chinese language.However，
others are in favor of the inclusion because it is hard to say whether it will threaten the Chinese
language.They believe the selection is mostly a result of their function and use in daily life.
