The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best to save him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched. Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called “laughing gas”. Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didnt seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himselfHe asked a friend to help him Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Wells teeth. Wells felt no pain at all.As he didnt know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out. Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event. 24Long ago，when the sick man was operated on, he _ Acould feel nothing B. could not want anythingCcould feel all the pain Dcould do anything25Using the laughing gas, the people did not seem to _ A be afraid of anything Bfeel pain Cwant to go to the parties Dbe ill26If a man took less laughing gas than he should have when an operation went on, he _Afelt nothing Bfelt very comfortable Cstill felt pain Dwould die27One who took too much of the laughing gas _ Awould laugh all the time Bwould be very calmCwould never feel pain D. would die.CHousework is a frequent source of disputes (争论) between lazy husbands and their hard-working wives, but women have been warned not to expect men to pull their weight any time soon.A study from Oxford University has found that men are unlikely to be doing an equal share of housework before 2050. Mothers, the researchers warned, will continue to shoulder the burden of childcare and housework for the next four decades, largely because housework such as cleaning and cooking is still regarded as “ womens work”.The gap between the amount of time men and women spend on housework has narrowed slowly over the past 40 years. But it will take another four decades before true housework equality (平等) is achieved, the study concluded.The research found that in the Nordic countries, the burden of housework is shared more equally between men and women. In the UK, women spend an average of four hours and forty minutes each day on housework, compared with two hours and twenty-eight minutes for men. This is an improvement from the 1960s, when British women typically spent six hours a day on housework, while men spent just 90 minutes every day.But progress towards housework equality appears to be slowing in some countries. Dr Oriel Sullivan, a research reader from Oxfords Department of Sociology, said, “weve looked at what is affecting the equality in the home, and we have found that certain tasks seem to be given according to whether they are viewed as mens work or womens work.”Dr Sullivan said cultural attitudes taught at school may be responsible for the views of housework. “At school it is much easier for a girl to be a tomboy, but it is much more difficult for a boy to enjoy baking and dancing,” she said.28.The underlined part “pull their weight” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to “_”. A.lose weightB.be lazy C.earn moneyD.do equal housework 29.Women will continue to do more housework before 2050 mainly because _. A.men are too busy to help B.they would like to do so C.they can do better in housework D.housework will still be considered as womens work 30.From Paragraph 4 we know that in the UK _. A.men now spend just 90 minutes a day on housework on average B.women now are too busy with their work to do housework C.women now spend less time on housework than before D.housework is shared equally between men and women 31.In Dr Sullivans opinion, what is to blame for the housework inequality? A.Cultural attitudes towards housework. B.Policies made by the government. C.The time spent on work. D.The type of housework. DEvery school has an ugly girl. In my primary school, it was me.From first grade through fourth, I had to wear heavy orthopedic(整形外科的)shoes because of my weak ankles. I sounded like overweight elephant wearing bricks whenever I took a single step. “Hey, Bigfoot!” “Geez, youre going to start an earthquake!” Then in sixth grade I had to start wear glasses. Mom asked for the least expensive ones and that made me look like a fool. “Four eyes!” “Couldnt you cover up more of your faces? Why stop at the eyes?” In Seventh, I started competing on the city swim team, thinking that if I got a killer body, nobody would notice my face. Wrong again. I loved being fast and winning ribbons now and then, but now I had red, wet eyes from the chlorine(氯) in the pool. I also did not develop a killer body. I changed my strategy at Eighth grade, the last year of middle school. I offered my help to anyone who needs. I worked for other girls, so they could hang out with their friends. My new program began to work. People who would never have acknowledged my existence before were suddenly seeking me out. Id been feeling pretty good until one day I went to Christines house to help her fill envelopes. Going into each envelope was invitation to Christines birthday party; it was a big event at a fancy hotel. Complete with dinner. She asked me to help her address these envelopes. There was no envelope for me. My heart was broken. I tried to escape from all the eyes. High school had to be better, right？ Yes and no. Now that Im here, I know there are still lots of shallow people judging you on what youre wearing or how cool your hair is , but there are also kids who talk to you because they liked your answers or just as youre kind, honest, and a good friend. I still do kind things because I like the feeling I get when I am helping people. I, with my friends, went to Childrens hospital, playing games and reading to the sick kids. I still had wet red and not a smart look, but you cannot tell me I am not beautiful. Every time I visit hospital, five-year-old Terry grasps my hand, “Morri, you are so nice. I want to grow up to be just like you.” 32.Why was Morri laughed at by her classmates when she was in primary school? A.She had weak ankles and eyesight. B.Her glasses couldnt cover up her face. C.She couldnt get along well with them. D.She looked like an overweight elephant. 33.Which of the following is the real reason for Morri competing on the city swim team? A.To win more ribbons. B.To shift(转移)others attention from her face. C.To develop a killer body. D.To have red wet eyes. 34.From what Morri experienced in the last year of middle school, we can learn that _. A.her classmates thought highly of her B.she was popular among her classmates C.she was often cheated by her classmates D.her classmates just made use of her 35.The passage is intended to encourage people to _. A.address as many as invitation envelopes as possible B.take more sport activities including swimming C.take others comments into careful consideration D.take positive attitude towards disadvantages in life 第二节（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。ForgivenessForgiveness is a quality that is difficult to possess. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.36 Try the following steps：Calm yourself. 37You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.Dont wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same way. 38 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.39 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offenders point of view.Dont forget to forgive yourself. 40 But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you dont do it.A. How should you start to forgive?B. Why should you forgive?C. Try to see things from your offenders angle.D. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.F. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.G. To make your anger die away, try a simple stressmanagement technique(方法).第三部分 语言知识及应用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的四个选项（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。 I was said to be the worst student in my class, and my family thought I was hopeless.
