阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I always experienced guilt when I passed by without giving a coin or two to a beggar.
My conscience was pricked again on a tour of Venice in 2010. I had taken refuge from the crowds in a quiet canal-side café. Outside the café was an old woman kneeling on the ancient cobbled stones, begging. Steady streams of tourists were walking past her. A lone young back-packer stood away from the crowds drinking something, but I noticed he was also observing the woman.
A tourist group glanced at the woman and walked on. Another group of tourists arrived and, again, walked past her. The backpacker watched. Then, as I prepared to leave, I stopped at the sight of the backpacker stepping forward and placing some money in the woman’s cup. He did this rather ostentatiously(炫耀地), just before the arrival of another tourist group. I watched as the leader of the group stopped and put some money in the cup. Having been shown the way, other tourists followed suit and added more coins to the woman’s cup.
The young backpacker repeated this process in front of the next tour party going past. Once again, the subtle peer (同伴)pressure worked on the tourists, who all added coins to the cup. His work done, the young man walked over to the old beggar woman, patted her shoulder and said, “I hope that helps a bit.”
I don’t know if the woman understood his English or realized what had just happened, but I did. I placed some money in the woman’s cup and continued my travels, light-hearted after witnessing such an act of caring.

More than 2 million US teenagers have suffered a serious bout（发作) of depression in the past year, according to a federal government survey released on Tuesday.
On average, 8.5 percent of adolescents aged 12 to 17 described having had a major depressive episode in the previous year, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration reported.
But there were "striking differences" by sex, with 12.7 percent of girls and 4.6 percent of boys affected.
Depression is the leading cause of suicide, which in turn is the third-leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-olds in the United States.
"The data Combined 2004 to 2006 data showed that rates of past year major depressive experience among youths aged 12 to 17 generally increased with increasing age," the researchers wrote.
Researchers at SAMHSA and RTI International in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, prepared the report using data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.
More than 67,700 youths aged 12 to 17 answered questions about mood and depression. They were also asked to rate how depression affected them using the Sheehan Disability Scale(残疾量表), which measures impact on family, friends, chores at home, work and school.
Researchers defined a major depressive episode as two weeks or longer of depressed mood or loss of interest or pleasure, and at least four other symptoms such as problems with sleep, energy, concentration or self-image.
Nearly half of the teenagers who had major depression said it severely damaged their ability to function in at least one of the areas on the disability scale.
"Fortunately, depression responds very well to early intervention and treatment," SAMHSA Administrator Terry Cline said in a statement.
25．The underlined word “ episode ” in paragraph 2 probably means _____.
A. experiment B. experience C. expression D. feeling
26．What can be implied, but is not stated directly?
A. depression is the third-leading cause of suicide.
B. There were over 2 million American teens suffering depression in the past two years.
C. The students surveyed were aged between 12 and 17.
D. There were more girl students suffering depression than boys.
27．The main symptoms of a serious depressive episode include ____ .
A. no family or friends or jobs or interests at all.
B. low spirits, lack of sleep, energy and self-image, and poor concentration.
C. poor health, sex discrimination, less energy and loss of interests
D. suicide, sadness, lack of confidence and depression.
28．What will the following paragraph probably talk about according to the passage ?
A. How to recover from stress B. How to have a happy feeling
C. How to prevent and treat depression D. How to live a comfortable life
C
The sound of a mosquito can mean trouble in many parts of the world. The bite of the mosquito can be deadly. The insects carry serious diseases like malaria (疟疾). It is estimated that almost 630,000 people died from malaria and malaria related causes in 2012, and most of these cases were in African countries.
In the United States, a group of California scientists are working to develop a more effective and less costly substance (物质) to protect people from mosquitoes. The researchers are investigating the sense of smell in mosquitoes. They found the insects use the same receptor for identifying carbon dioxide in human breath as they do for the smell of our skin. Anandasankar Ray, who is leading the investigation, says scientists tested more than a million chemical compounds (化合物) until they found a substance called Ethyl Pyruvate. He says Ethyl Pyruvate makes the mosquitoes' receptors inactive. “When we apply Ethyl Pyruvate to a human arm and offer it to hungry mosquitoes in a cage, very few of the mosquitoes are attracted to the human arm because only a few of them are able to smell it out,” said Ray.
Genevieve Tauxe, a member of the research team, says it was not easy to find the neurons (神经元) of noble cells that recognize both the smell of human breath and skin. “With the device used to examine the mosquito, we are able to insert a very small electrode (电极) into the part of the mosquito's nose, where its smelling neurons are and where the smell is happening,” said Tauxe.
Anandasankar Ray says a product based on Ethyl Pyruvate may cost less to produce than DEFT, the most effective chemical treatment now in use. He says DEFT is too costly for most people who live in areas affected by malaria.
“Perhaps by finding smells that can attack other target receptors, we will be able to improve upon DEFT and finally have the next generation of insect behaviour control products,” said Ray.
29．The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means ________.
A. a substance that protects people from mosquitoes
B. a piece of equipment that sends signals
C. a device that reacts to light
D. a sense organ that reacts to changes
30．According to the passage, Ethyl Pyruvate can ________.
A. kill the mosquitoes' smelling neurons
B. cause the mosquitoes to lose their senses of smell
C. result in the inactiveness of the mosquitoes' receptors
D. make the mosquitoes uninterested in human breath and skin smell
31．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Ethyl Pyruvate—an Insect Behaviour Control Product
B. Malaria—a Serious Disease Causing 630,000 Deaths
C. Scientists Find a New Substance to Fight Mosquitoes
D. A New Generation of DEET Has Been Developed to Kill Mosquitoes
32．This passage most probably appears in ________.
A. a textbook of medical schools B. a collection of doctors' essays
C. the column of newspaper ads D. the health column of a magazine

D
A treasure trove hidden for centuries has been discovered in the underground vaults(墓穴)of a temple in southern India. The treasures include gold, diamonds and precious stones. The estimated value of the hoard is reportedly 22 billion US dollars.
Hundreds of armed police have been deployed around the temple. Meanwhile, a debate about how to use the money has also broken out across the country. After discovering the treasure trove in Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple in the southern Indian state of Kerala, the local government has assured security of the temple.
Elaborating(详述) on the security arrangements, Venugopalan Nair, Additional Director General of the Kerala Police, says the latest security devices are being used to guard the temple.
Venugopalan Nair, Additional Dir. Gen. of Kerala Police, said, "We are trying to bring in the latest technology with regards to surveillance(监视) cameras, with regards to, you know digitalizing the various things which are available inside. We are keeping a constant sort of surveillance for every movement, which happens in the whole area surrounding the temple."
According to temple authorities, the crowd at the temple has increased steeply after news of the discovery of the treasure trove. And the Administrative Officer of the Temple says the government has initiated appropriate steps to control the curious crowds visiting the temple.
G. Jayasekharan Nair, administrative officer, said, "To control the crowds the government itself is taking a lot of measures. They are trying to do whatever is possible from the premises(房屋) of the temple. Apart from all that, the government has taken a favorable step and we are satisfied with them."
Over the last week, a seven-member team of investigators broke into five secret subterranean vaults, and discovered jewels that have been lying untouched for hundreds of years.
As estimates of the treasures' worth rise, a fierce debate is growing regarding what to do with the discovery. Kerala's top elected leader said the wealth would remain with the temple, while others say it should be used to pay for poverty alleviation(扶贫). However, the government is standing for the Supreme Court's ruling on ownership of the treasure found in the temple.
33．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. The treasures include gold, diamonds and some old coins.
B. The treasure trove has been lying unknown for hundreds of years before it is discovered.
C. The local people are very curious about the treasure and the temple.
D. The whole area surrounding the temple is under close watch.
34．What G.Jayasekharan Nair said means that .
A. what the government does means little
B. the crowd will make trouble without proper control
C. more effective measures should be taken
D. the temple is of great value
35．How will the government deal with the treasure mentioned in the passage?
A. It will be used to pay for poverty alleviation.
B. It will be returned to its owner.
C. It will be kept in the vaults.
D. It hasn’t been decided yet.
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you're looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, pick up the phone. Not being able to see the other person and the body language can make the chatting difficult. 36 Here are some tips to guide you through an average phone conversation in English.
1．Greetings
Every phone call should begin with a polite greeting such as “Hi, how've you been？” or “Nice to hear from you”. Even if you're calling a business contact for a specific purpose, it'd be rude to jump right into business. 37
2．Getting to the point
There always comes the point where you want to move on from friendly chatting and get down to business. What should you do in this situation? 38 However, if you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversation by saying “So what can I do for you？”
3．Interrupting without offence
Sometimes you may happen to be speaking with a very talkative person. 39 Keep in mind when you'd like to interrupt, and be sure to do it politely. For example, begin with “I'd like to say something here”．
4．Closing the call
This can be the trickiest part of the conversation! It may be the time to offer good wishes if it's appropriate. 40 Sometimes it's easiest to just say you enjoyed speaking to the other person. Also remember cleverly saying the word well at the beginning of a sentence can indicate you're ready to end the conversation.
A．Use the phrase “I'm just calling to...” to change to the topic at hand.
B．Additionally, you may want to confirm any plans you've made.
C．You should make a little small talk at the beginning.
D．You'd better greet him or her in a friendly way.
E．So it may be difficult to get a word in.
F．Practice English through phone calls.
G．Never fear, though!
