ago, 18 I received a call from the Principal of our school telling me to come to the “Parent View”, which
was out of my expectation. He asked me to 19 to the group.
After the call my whole body became feverish and I felt really 20 . The whole night, I could not sleep.
Many 21 thoughts were coming. One of them was to call the Principal, with 22 , and tell him that I
could not go. I gathered some 23 . I thought, if I missed this opportunity, surely, the school would never
invite me again to any of their programs. 24 I decided to go.
When my turn came and I started speaking, my legs started shaking and my heartbeat increased. After the
speech, I met with the Principal and 25 what had happened to me. He told me that this happened to

A
Give a little sunshine!The Council on Aging (COA) runs a telephone friendship project called the Sunshine Call Program,
matching over-60s with a friendly volunteer for a daily chat over the phone. The aim is simple — to help ease the
loneliness and repair social networks.
Sheila, 77, a retired teacher, lived alone. She has been receiving calls from Rianne, a volunteer, for over two
months.
“Talking to Rianne is something I really look forward to — a breath of fresh air. We talk about everything —
theatre, her work, books we’ve read. . . Listening to someone else’s life enriches 2011 and gives you something
positive to focus on. ‘
“At the beginning, I had no expectation of how the phone calls would go, but it’s wonderful that it’s led to a
genuine friendship. Rianne helps me a lot. . . ”
Are you ready to add a little sunshine to a senior’s life?
The Sunshine Call Program initially links a volunteer with an isolate (独居的) senior for a daily call When
comfortable the volunteer introduces a second senior to the call. Then another, until there are four seniors to one
volunteer on what is essentially a conference call. Without having to leave the house, you will help the seniors
meet and make new friends. They will then exchange phone numbers to chat on their own and reduce their
isolation.
What are the volunteer qualifications?
Volunteers must have access to the Internet and be willing to be trained on the use of a chat app. COA will
provide all supplies required to make the calls. Besides, volunteers must agree to participate in monthly meetings
with other volunteers and guest speakers. All volunteers must be willing to provide a recent Criminal Record
Check, the cost of which will be borne by COA．And the most important volunteer qualification is a sense of
caring and a desire to help seniors in the community!

As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a
gigantic insect. He was lying on his hard, as it were armor-plated, back and when he lifted his head a little he
could see his dome-like brown belly divided into stiff arched segments on top of which the bed quilt could hardly
keep in position and was about to slide off completely. His numerous legs, which were pitifully thin compared to
the rest of his body, waved helplessly before his eyes.
What has happened to me? he thought. It was no dream. His room, a regular human bedroom, only rather too
small, lay quiet between the four familiar white walls. Above the table on which a collection of cloth samples was
unpacked and spread out- Samsa was a commercial traveler-hung the picture which he had recently cut out of an
illustrated magazine and put into a pretty golden frame. It showed a lady. Gregor’s eyes turned next to the
window, and the overcast sky-one could hear rain drops beating on the window-made him quite melancholy(忧郁
的). What about sleeping a little longer and forgetting all this nonsense, he thought, but it could not be done, for
he was accustomed to sleep on his right side and in his present condition he could not turn himself over. However
violently he forced himself towards his right side he always rolled on to his back again. He tried it at least ahundred times, shutting his eyes to keep from seeing his struggling legs, and only stopped when he began to feel
in him a faint ache he had never experienced before.
He thought: ”what an exhausting job I’ve picked on!“ Traveling about day in, day out. It’s much more boring
work than doing the actual business in the office, and on top of that there’s the trouble of constant traveling, of
worrying about train connections, the bed and irregular meals, casual acquaintances that are always new and never
become intimate friends. The devil take it all! He felt a slight itching up on his belly; slowly pushed himself on his
back nearer to the top of the bed so that he could lift his head more easily; identified the itching place which was
surrounded by many small white spots the nature of which he could not understand and made to touch it with a
leg, but drew the leg back immediately, for the contact made a cold shiver run through him.
……(to be continued)
41．What might Gregor Samsa look like when he woke up?
A．A normal commercial traveler. B．Something ridiculous.
C．A huge insect with thick legs. D．A lady in the gift frame.
42．What can we know about Samsa’s room?
A．It was a regular room and tidy.
B．There was no window for him to look outside his tiny room.
C．Its walls were dull and pale.
D．There was a magazine and a pretty golden frame on the table.
43．How might Samsa feel when he found his transformation?
A．Extremely frightened. B．Indifferent.
C．Relieved. D．Unreal.
44．Samsa couldn’t turn over because ___________.
A．his present condition restricted him
B．it rained hard outside, which distracted him
C．it was just the right position and the side he used to lie in
D．it was painful to do as he might knock his feet on the wall
45．What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A．Samsa felt unsatisfied about his life before.
B．Samsa would rather do actual business.
C．Samsa couldn’t identify where was itching however he tried.
D．The white spots felt cold when Samsa touched them.

When plates are set on the table, phones, rather than forks, are at the ready. At this point in our social media
entanglement (纠缠)，the fact that the camera eats first is pretty much a given. Sure, some chefs, including
Michelin rated star chefs, express their displeasure at this, but efforts to make the table a screen-free domain have
mostly fallen flat.
New research from Aston University has found that people are indeed influenced by the food photos that
their friends post on social media. For example, for every serving of fruits and vegetables that a person thinks
their friends are eating, they’ll eat one-fifth of a serving more. This number makes more sense within the context
of the recommended “five a day”, meaning someone who’s being influenced would make a point of eating six
portions of fruits or vegetables. Similarly, for every three portions of junk food that a person sees friends
consuming on social media, they’ll eat an extra one.
The researchers have suggested that social media can be very beneficial when it comes to people’s choices of
food and their diets. Study supervisors Dr. Jason Thomas said, “The implication is that we can use social media as
a tool to encourage each other’s eating choice within friendship groups, and use this knowledge as a tool for
public health interventions.”
Actually, the daily food situation is somewhat different from everything else posted on social media. People
also desire to copy what they see but they need good social media literacy skills in order to grasp what’s realistic
and what’s absurd. It is necessary to avoid the fake perfection of social media.
It gets boring trying to figure out what to eat three times a day, week after week, so no wonder people want to
take the path of least resistance and eat what their friends are eating. Unfortunately, most of what gets posted is
the more time-consuming recipes or the attractively styled restaurant meals. By all means, keep your antennae (触
角) out for new ideas, but gather them from food magazines, cookbooks, store flyers, reliable cooking websites,
and recommended recipes from friends and family.
46．What phenomenon is talked about in Par.1?
A．The influence of social media on people’s diet.
B．People’s taking photos of food before eating.
C．Chefs’ efforts to make the table screen-free.
D．The pursuit of dining in fancy restaurant.
47．What’s the consequence of people’s seeing their friends’ online post?
A．They’ll copy what their friends do.
B．They’ll take junk food more seriously.
C．They’ll consume more than their friends.D．They’ll care more about their friends’ eating habits.
48．What’s Dr. Jason Thomas’s attitude towards social media?
A．Positive. B．Doubtful.
C．Concerned. D．Unclear.
49．What might people referring to others’ diets be advised to do?
A．Form their own diet styles.
B．Find the similarities among others’ diets.
C．Avoid aiming for perfection in daily meals.
D．Enhance their critical thinking and skepticism.
50．What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A．Point out the unreality of social media.
B．Call on people to enrich their knowledge in cooking.
C．Introduce the general classification of food posted online.
D．Encourage people to broaden their sources of food inspiration.

Many people love the Halloween season, particularly young ones. It’s not hard to understand. The Halloween
season is a time for fun-sized candy, giving rocks to trick or treaters, apple cider donuts, and frights. The very last-
frights, are generally all in good fun. But can they be dangerous? Can someone be scared to death?
The key factor in an imagined scare-caused death is a little chemical that anyone who’s played a particularly
intense game of hide-and-seek is very familiar with: adrenaline (肾上腺素). Fear puts the body in a state of severe
emotional anxiety, which in turn causes the autonomic fight-or-flight response.
The fight-or-flight response is an evolutionary defence mechanism (机制) which acts in your best interest
when there is a noticed threat. You sweat a lot, your anxiety is exacerbated, your blood glucose (葡萄糖) levels
are increased, and your heart rate is higher. Like a cornered animal, you’re a bit less reasonable, a bit stranger, but
a bit more ready to survive.
Now, back to the adrenaline. Adrenaline causes all of these processes, but there’s just one organ, which, if
overloaded, can lead to sudden death. The human body doesn’t immediately come to an end as soon as a kidney
(肾) fails, but when a heart stops working, the whole business fails. This is what happens to your body during an
adrenaline rush.
Adrenaline causes calcium (钙) to enter the heart at a higher rate, and when there’s more calcium rushing
原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 8through the heart, it has harder time resetting to its normal resting rate. This can cause a dangerous condition,
which prevents blood from pumping to the rest of the body. Without immediate treatment, this can lead to sudden
death.
Of course, such cause of death isn’t unique to being scared. Any event that increases one’s adrenal level
could lead to this dangerous condition. So if you are planning on scaring others the next Halloween season, be
sure to do it in a controlled setting, especially if you have a history of heart problems.
51．What do we learn about the fight-or-flight response mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A．It makes us think in a better way.
B．It prevents adrenaline from rising.
C．It has nothing to do with little kids.
D．It is meant to help us survive better.
52．The underlined word “exacerbated” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.
A．acquired B．relieved C．worsened D．addressed
53．What will probably happen during the dangerous condition according to Paragraph 5?
A．Having a failed kidney.
B．Having faster blood circulation.
C．Having too much calcium in our blood.
D．Having irregular heartbeats.
54．We can learn from the passage that we should ________.
A．enjoy Halloween in a controlled way
B．avoid low blood glucose levels
C．exercise to protect ourselves from heart disease
D．avoid scaring others during the Halloween screen
55．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Is it enjoyable to frighten others?
B．Is it possible to be scared to death?
C．Why is too much adrenaline dangerous?
D．What to watch out for during the Halloween season?
第 II 卷第三部分：写作
第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
My name is Brooke Parsons, and the story of my life is different. One day, in April, 1993, I was home alone
when I had a stroke. When my parents came home, they took me to the hospital to learn what lay ahead for all of
us. The stroke has left me with permanent brain damage. The doctors suggested I quit school. However, I chose
the opposite.
After returning to high school, I learned very slowly. I had to decide whether or not to complete the twelfth
grade in 2 years. Thinking I would fail if I chose to do it in one year, finally I made my decision. The staff at
school were very supportive and helped me through the rough times. Finally, I graduated from high school.
Graduating from high school was a huge achievement for me. That was an opportunity for me to be really proud
of just how far I had come with all the odds I had to beat.
I can now walk, talk, dress myself, feed myself and be the independent person I am today. I have achieved
my VCE and I am now at university, studying to be a social worker. I have been a scholarship winner. I have
become a life-long member of the local musical band. All of these achievements are beyond my imagination. Now
I am even in a novel called Second Chances by Neil Mitchall.
I could have easily listened to the doctors when I first had my stroke, but I decided I was going to prove them
wrong as they did not know me, nor did they know just how determined I would be.
It’s a big world out there. I have done and achieved so much and never once will I allow the odds to get the
better of me, as there is still a whole lot more things out there for me to do. I love life and I am living it to the
maximum
56．How was the author affected by the stroke? (no more than 6 words)
57．What decision did he make after returning to school? (no more than 10 words)
58．What did the authors efforts bring him? (no more than 10 words)
