More often than not， life has its own way of tapping us on the shoulder， whispering “Pay attention to this", which happens when we 21 expect it.
In the 1950s, I spent my days as a sixth grader in my school. One day, as I remembered, classes
22 with the usual noise made by voices and feet 23 students moved down the hall， up or down staircases. I was walking through the hallway at a rapid pace toward a large double stairway, which 24 the second and third floor of our building。 Suddenly I noticed a new sound added to those already 25 me。
As I 26 the bottom of the stairway, I found Rochelle， a girl， who wore full leg braces(支架） and heavy orthopedic(矫形） shoes， made her way across a wooden-floored room. 27 she went, Rochelle 28 us of her serious polio(小儿麻痹症) a few years earlier.

第二部分 阅读理解（第一节20小题,第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
第一节:阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑.
A
Whether you like it or not， I consider myself an honored member of East Asian society.
For the past 2 years, I’ve had the privilege of travelling to various countries in Asia, specifically Indonesia and China. These trips weren’t the typical vacations that last for roughly two weeks and consist of hurrying from one destination to the next. Rather, I completely buried myself in the culture， staying in both Indonesia and China for approximately 6 weeks。 I befriended the man who made my breakfast every day in Beijing.
After two continuous years of escaping to the Eastern Hemisphere， however， I’m staying at home。
Every day, I long for the thrill of travelling， the thrill of trying a new Asian dish, the thrill of bargaining with a vendor(小商贩) on the street for what caught my eye. I catch myself watching hours Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, and replaying the parts where he visits a small town in China or a quiet village deep in Vietnam. Occasionally, I go through the pictures from my travels， thinking of the ones where my memories origin from。
My desire to travel， in fact， makes me incredibly impulsive。 One day, I was watching my old friend Andrew Zimmern travel to Cambodia。 I watched him taste the special foods and float down a large man—made lake， staying with locals trying to find dinner。 The second the show ended, I ran upstairs to my computer and looked up plane tickets to Phnom Penh. It’s pitiful， I know。
I apologize for this unhappy story that’s been a good portion of my article. Let me try to turn things around.
Though I’m upset about not being able to travel for the summer, staying in place does have its ups。 I graduated from high school just recently. As I walked across the stage， reaching out for my high school principal’s hand with my right and taking my diploma with my left， I graduated. As I walked across the stage， suddenly, I realized I had just wrapped up one of the most important stages in my life. I was soon entering the real world， but I had one last summer that see—sawed in between the real world and the world my peers and I had just left。 I had one last summer to make memories with high school friends that I would recall during old age。文档为个人收集整理，来源于网络
Additionally， I am pleased to say I have found a job this summer。 I work at the Seneca Hill Animal Hospital and Resort where I look after dogs whose owners have left for summer vacation。 The work may be hard, but at least it paid off.
All in all， life at home so far has not been all that difficult. I’m spending time with old friends， and earning for myself, two things that could not be done outside the US。 Although I would have wanted to spend the summer in a magical land with foreign foods, languages, and people, I have to realize that life is what you make of it. That’s why I'm going to make my time at home the best vacation I’ve ever had。
41。 According to the writer, a typical vacation is one ________。
A. that lasts about a fortnight during which you hurry between destinations
B。 where you stay in some place for seven weeks
C。 where you can stay in East Asia
D。 where you needn't hurry between destinations
42。 The writer gives the example of Andrew Zimmern in Paragraph 4 to ________.
A。 explain his tiredness of trips to foreign countries
B。 express his disappointment with his friends’ holiday
C。 share with us his eagerness for trips
D. display his skills of taking photos
43. The underlined phrase “wrapped up” in paragraph 7 has a similar meaning to that in _______。
A。 He received his Christmas gift wrapped up in a box
B. The meeting wrapped up and we soon left the lecture hall
C。 She told the children to wrap up warm since it was so cold
D. The manager is wrapped up in his business， so just wait patiently
44。 We can infer from the passage that _______.
A。 in writer’s view, the two years in East Asian was another way of vacation
B。 during his stay at home， the writer never thought about his travelling
C。 without much travelling, life has been difficult for the writer
D。 freed from trips， the writer actually gained much more than merely travelling
45。 The best title of the passage can be _______.
A. An honored member of East Asian society
B。 The privilege of travelling to various countries
C。 Life without travelling is not all that difficult
D. Memories to be called up during old age
B
Once again this year， like last， I have the honor of recommending a selection of books for the TED Bookstore. Below are this year’s picks， along with the original text that appears on the bookstore cards and the introduction.
1。 TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS
When a journalist by the name of “Dear Sugar” introduced herself on The Rumpus on March 11, 2010, she made her suggestions clear a “by—the—book common sense of Dear Abby and the low quality of Cary Tennis and the rudeness of Dan Savage and…” But in the two-some years that followed, she went on to deliver something brief， more honest， more profound（深刻的）。 Collected in Tiny Beautiful Things Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar, one of the best psychology and philosophy books of 2012， is her wholehearted wisdom on life’s trickiest contexts — sometimes the simplest， sometimes the most complex， always the most deeply human。 个人收集整理，勿做商业用途
2. BIG QUESTIONS FROM LITTLE PEOPLE
The questions children ask are often so simple, so basic， that they turn unclear yet profound philosophy into requiring apple—pie-from-scratch type of answers. To explore this simplicity and expansiveness， Elwin Harris asked thousands of primary school children between the ages of four and twelve to send in their most restless questions， then invited some of today’s most well—known scientists， philosophers， and writers — including TEDsters like Alain de Botton， Mary Roach, and Richard Dawkins — to answer them. The result is Big Questions from Little People ＆ Simple Answers from Great Minds, among both the best children's books of 2012 and the year’s overall reader favorites。 Part of the money from the book benefits Save the Children.个人收集整理，勿做商业用途
3. WHERE THE HEART BEATS
In Where the Heart Beats， which was also one of the best philosophy books of 2012, longtime art critic and practicing Buddhist Kay Larson constructs an intellectual， creative， and spiritual biography of John Cage - one of the most influential composers in modern history, yet also one of history’s most misunderstood artists , whose impact reaches beyond the field of music and into art， literature, cinema. Fifteen years in the making, this superbly researched， beautifully written masterpiece weaves together a great many threads of cultural history into a whole understanding of both Cage as an artist and Zen as a lens on existence。个人收集整理，勿做商业用途
4. ADVICE TO LITTLE GIRLS
In 1865， Mark Twain did something unexpected — he penned a children’s story, in which he challenged kids to digest the intelligent humor that was， and still is, known for among his adult audiences。 Nearly a century and a half later, beloved Russian children’s artist Vladimir Radunsky and Brooklyn independent publisher Enchanted Lion are bringing Advice to Little Girls to life， imagined in the style of the scrapbooks and small albums that children of Twain’s time used for doodling(乱涂乱画) and collecting various curious things.个人收集整理，勿做商业用途
