When I began to study flower arranging, I was slowly developing a deeper understanding of the 16
between all life.
In our first class, my teacher said that flowers can 17 talk and that they each have their own 18
of being beautiful. They have “prana” life force, so you have to pay full attention to them, rather than 19
your own ideas of beauty on them. So I began to ask the flowers how they wanted to be 20 and what
positioning would make them 21 most beautiful. I waited and listened.
Even after the flowers had been 22 in the vase, I would discover sometimes that in the morning they
had rearranged themselves during the night. Even if they were secured in the 23 ，they always seemed to
be silently straining(尽力)to find their 24 place. At the same time, they were not 25

day, to water them. Watching other people spraying water on the arrangements sometimes, I would feel so 27
by the scene. Small drops of water on the flowers touched the source of life and nourished the heart of beauty.
This experience made me feel how 28 it could be, if our minds are set in the right way to water
not only plants, but 29 ,to treat all living creatures in a way that 30 them their right to be
beautiful, in their own 31 and time.
What we came to notice was that flowers could also 32 . Our teacher urged us to always 33

When we made our arrangements with this kind of 35 ,we found that the flowers remained
beautiful and fresh for many more days than expected.

Once, during my summer holidays, my father was sick, but he worked in the rice field just the same, because
there was so much to do. As I looked at his thin figure, crawling (缓慢移动) ahead of me, I thought of my own
depressing future. I was tied to the land by job after backbreaking job, unlike other boys who had freedom to
pursue happiness. Why were there people in the world who would never know what it was like to toil (苦干), and
others, like me, who had been toiling ever since they were small boys, season after season, year after year? Why
were some people sitting before electric fans or in air-conditioned rooms, while I was out of breath and sweating
under the blazing sun? Why was there mud and more mud in front of me?
Only we farmers were willing to crawl, to assume the lowliest of positions in order to have a better harvest.
Even a horse, when working for man, stands tall. I was suddenly consumed with great pity and great respect for
poor farmers, and the focus of my attention began to extend beyond myself and my family. This was an importantturning point in my life.
While resting beside a field one day, my brothers and I resolved to pursue useful knowledge and technology
to help ourselves and other farmers improve our circumstances, and lighten our burden of labour. This resolve
gave me strength so that when I went to university, lighten our burden of labour. This resolve gave me strength so
that when I went to university, and later to the US on a scholarship, my spirit rose above personal hardships.
Crawling in the mud had taught me to lake bleeding and sweating as part of my life, and not to be afraid in the
face of difficulties. But what was more important was that I had learned the meaning of “You reap what you sow”.
Mother used to say, “Judge a man not by his face, but by his fields.” I appreciate more and more the meaning
of these words. The land is dependable, as long as you are willing to toil on it. When the wind blew and the green
rice plants moved like waves in a sea, stunningly beautiful, a deep sense of satisfaction swelled up (充满) in me.
I laboured hard in the simple, isolated countryside of my home, and I am proud of this. Although later I went
into academic research, I shall always remember what working in the rice fields taught me: plant your feet firmly
on the ground, work hard and you will be rewarded.
41．What did the author think of his job as a farmer in Paragraph 1?
A．Unhappy but promising. B．Free and meaningful.
C．Busy but rewarding. D．Exhausting and hopeless.
42．What motivated the author to change his present life?
A．The concern for his father’s sickness. B．His pity and respect for poor farmers.
C．His eagerness for knowledge and technology. D．His wish to have a better harvest.
43．How does the author understand his mother’s words in Paragraph 4?
A．A man should be judged by his academic background.
B．A man’s sense of satisfaction comes from the land.
C．A man willing to toil in his field is bound to reap a harvest.
D．A man shouldn’t be proud of his appearance.
44．According to the last paragraph, it can be inferred that the author________.
A．achieves great success in his academic career B．benefits a lot from his previous experience
C．lives in the isolated countryside D．takes pride in his hometown
45．What could be the best title for the passage?
A．Crawling in the Rice Fields B．Sticking to Your Dreams
C．Lightening the Burden of Labour D．Sparing No Effort to Work

Human beings have always had an ability to attend to several things at once. Nor is electronic multitasking
entirely new! We’ve been driving while listening to car radios since they became popular in the 1930s. But there is
no doubt that multitasking has reached a kind of warp speed in the era of Web-enabled computers, when it has
become routine to conduct several IM (即时通讯) conversations, watch TV and use the computer all at once.
But what’s the impact of this media consumption? And how are these multitasking devices changing how
kids learn, reason and communicate with one another? Social scientists and educators are just beginning to deal
with these questions, but the researchers already have some strong opinions.
Although multitasking kids may be better prepared in some ways for today’s fast-paced work placed, many
scientists are positively alarmed by the trend. Kids that are instant messaging while doing homework, playing
games online and watching TV, aren’t going to do well in the long run. On the positive side, multitasking students
tend to be extraordinarily good at finding and using information. And probably because modern childhood centers
around visual (视觉的) rather than print media, they are especially skilled at analyzing visual data and images.
Many educators and psychologists say parents need to actively insure that their teenagers break free of
uncontrollable engagement with screens and spend time in the physical company of human beings — a growing
challenge not just because technology offers such a handy option but because many teenagers and college students
say over-committed (任务过量的) schedules drives much of their multitasking.
Just as important is for parents and educator to teach kids that it’s valuable, even essential, to occasionally
slow down, unplugs and take time to enjoy life beyond the screen.
46．What is the main idea of this passage?
A．How is multitasking defined in the information age?
B．How do people see new technology and the social change it brings about?
C．How does technology change modern family life?
D．What’s the impact of multitasking on young people?
47．The expression “warp speed” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A．low speed B．high speed
C．steady speed D．too much time alone
48．According to some teenagers and college students, what causes their multitasking?
A．Too much tasks and arrangements. B．Too much time alone.
C．Inability to focus. D．Fear of being neglected.
49．According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE?
A．Humans have begun to engage in the multitasking behaviors since the information age.B．Multitasking is a critical skill that students are required to learn at school.
C．Only parents can help their kids to get rid of the multitasking habits.
D．Multitasking may prepare students for the reality of today’s fast-paced work environment.
50．What do educators and psychologist advise parents to do about their multitasking kids?
A．To cut off home internet connection.
B．To seek medical treatment.
C．To encourage their kids to have some social life.
D．To help their kids to set personal goals.

Have you ever come out of a steamy hot shower and tried to look at your reflection in the mirror when it’s
completely steamed and fogged up? I often think that is how we tend to view our beauty—through fogged up
mirrors. We are seeing ourselves but the picture isn’t exactly clear! The mirrors have been fogged up through
different life experiences and memories as we have grown up, and now blend together to form our own definition
of our beauty.
The first mirror is formed as a young child and is often based on what was said about us from our parents and
those around us. I remember being told that I was a cute child, so that when I got a little older and was around six
or seven and another child tried to tell me I was ugly- everything within me rose up against the statement because
my self-belief in what my parents had said stood strong.
The second mirror is the mirror of adolescence, those formative years when we are pushed into the big wild
world and out of the protection of home. As a teenager I went to a boarding school, and I was one of the only two
black people in the entire school. Children being naturally curious, I felt like I was asked a million and one
different questions about both my hair and skin tone- -and I don’t think there has ever been a time when I have
been more acutely aware of my appearance, which in turn opened up the door for me to question how I looked and
to thankfully embrace my differences.
The final mirror comes from socially constructed ideas of beauty. We are often faced with numerous images
in the media, popular culture, society, peers and social media, which can create a false ideal of beauty in our eyes.
We tend to compare ourselves to those ideals and use it as some sort of margin (差值) of measurement.
However, real beauty comes from within. It is acceptance of yourself, perceived flaws and all. You are a
masterpiece, a unique blend of genes and life experiences. It’s essential to appreciate yourself like any other work
of art or natural wonder, without judgement. Maybe it’s time to create a fourth mirror, a new mirror that is wiped

51．What do the fogged-up mirrors represent according to the first paragraph?
A．The difficulties of seeing oneself in the mirror.
B．The various sources of beauty standards.
C．The unclear perceptions of one’s beauty.
D．The life experiences and memories.
52．How did the author react when someone called her ugly?
A．She felt embarrassed.
B．She completely denied it.
C．She sought comfort from her parents.
D．She questioned what her parents had said.
53．What can we learn about social constructed ideas of beauty?
A．They push teens out of home protection.
B．They arouse acute awareness of one’s appearance.
C．They may mislead people’s idea of beauty.
D．They are the exact measurement of beauty.
54．What does the author suggest as a possible fourth mirror?
A．A mirror not affected by external factors.
B．A mirror going against society’s expectations.
C．A mirror reflecting one’s childhood experiences.
D．A mirror showing the beauty ideals from social media.
55．The passage is mainly written to tell us that we should________.
A．bring happiness to those around us
B．keep our resolve despite obstacles
C．change ourselves to achieve an ideal
D．embrace our real inner beauty
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）
When Brantley Harrison and her family rescued a tiny, injured squirrel back, then released her back into the
wild, they didn’t expect to ever see her again. Nine years later, however, little Bella, they called the squirrel Bella,
still comes to visit them almost every day—as long as snacks are provided, of course.
As a baby, the terrible attack made by an owl (猫头鹰) left Bella near death, she was carefully taken in by the
Greenville County, South Carolina family, and raised by them alongside three other squirrels named Larry, Curly,
and Moe. Bella stayed with the Harrisons until she had healed successfully thanks to a regular diet of fruit, nuts,
and baby food, and was ready to jump on the trees in the forest. The sweet squirrel never goes too far from her
adopted home, though, and stops by to say hello whenever she can, despite how much time has passed.
“Bella sits right at the front door waiting for someone to notice she has come by for a visit. If no one notices
her, she will jump over to the dining room window to wait for someone to see her,” Brantley told The Dodo. The
little lady just isn’t ready to part with the family that succored her life. Whenever she stops by, she asks for
nothing more than a handful of nuts.
What is the most amazing part? A few years after Bella’s original stay at the Harrison house, she found her
way back to them with an injured foot—and a belly full of babies—spending another few months of recovering.
“It was truly amazing to watch the baby I raised raise her own babies,” Brantley said. Bella now even has her own
Instagram page, where her human family documents her adventures, with almost 4 thousand followers!
56．What happened after little Bella was injured by an owl? (No more than 10 words)
57．How did the Harrisons take care of little Bella? (No more than 15 words)
58．What does the underlined word in the third paragraph mean? (Only 1 word)
59．What brought Bella back to the Harrisons a few years after its original stay? (No more than 10 words)
