A
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 world-
famous 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 opportunities
C．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.This approachandconfront
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 her restaurant.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 influence of 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 “Bye-
bye.” 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 words but 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.
