From the experience I learnt a lot about how the attitude of the leader can 53 the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and 54 them. I helped them to see themselves 55 , and they built themselves into winners.

第三部分: 阅读理解 (共 15 小题; 每小题 2 分, 满分 30 分)
请阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
“Cat got your tongue?”
Someone may have said this to you the last time you were speechless. The popular phrase from the 1800s refers to a violent whip (鞭子) with nine stinging threads called a “cat-o’-nine-tails” that was used in maritime punishments. A visit from this cat would likely leave a sailor speechless.
“Let the cat out of the bag.”
No, this is not what your mom yelled after you cleaned your room. This expression means to disclose something that has been kept secret. Its origin can be traced to a trick from the 1800s, when folks went to market supposedly carrying a baby pig for sale in a bag. Instead, the bag contained a cat, and if the trick was discovered, the “cat was out of the bag.”
“More than one way to skin a cat.”
There are always several ways to solve any problem, according to this English proverb from the 1670s. However, catfish are popular in southern American culture, and there are several ways to remove the tough skin before cooking.
“Dead cat on the line.”
The origin of this expression, meaning that there’s something wrong or suspicious, again has to do with catfish. Fishing lines with multiple hooks were hanging in the water, and the lines were checked every day. If a fisherman checked his friend’s line and there was a dead catfish on it, it meant that something was wrong because the line had not been checked. (Maybe his friend was just sick of eating catfish!)
“To bell the cat.”
In one of Aesop’s fables, a family of mice comes up with the idea of putting a bell around the neck of the threatening house cat. They all thought it was a good idea, but who would actually put the bell around the cat’s neck? The job fell to the mouse that proposed the idea. The moral? It is easy to propose impossible solution, but be careful — you might be the one asked to commit.
56.Which of the following best fits the blank in the sentence “All agreed to ask the employer for a pay rise, but _____.” ?
A. nobody let the cat out of the bag B. there was more than one way to skin a cat
C. nobody offered to bell the cat D. there was a dead cat on the line
57.The purpose of the passage is to _____.
A. explain the association between idioms and cultures
B. inform readers of some curious cat idioms and origins
C. entertain readers with interesting stories behind idioms
D. stress the importance of studying English idioms
B
It’s amazing how we grow from careless kids to responsible teens. What happens in the course that makes us responsible now? It’s the seed that we sow in the beginning which grows and becomes a huge tree. As I sit here, silently thinking about my growth, I wonder over some questions which don’t have an answer but it’s because of such unanswerable situations that life has become a roller coaster ride.
As a kid, I used to read a lot of story books. In one particular book, I read a story of a bird. From then on, that has become an integral (必不可少的) part of my life. It described a male bird which takes a lot of pain to build a nest and the female bird takes shelter in it and nourishes the baby. When the bird learns to fly, the whole family flies off to a different place leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to grow their family in it. It made me wonder. How could they so easily sacrifice their house built with so much effort?
One night, when I was deep in sleep, I got this particular dream. I was walking miles on the endless road, totally isolated but lined with beautiful trees on the either side. Fascinated by the greenery, I marched towards it only to end up deeper and deeper into the greenery. I happened to stop upon seeing something. It was a massive, wonderful house. I fell in love with that amazing part of art. Yeah, it was indeed a piece of art with every nook and corner touched artistically and lovingly. I don’t know why I felt that it was done lovingly. Maybe because, things turn out to be beautiful only when we put our love into it — just like the food prepared by mom which tastes more delicious with her love.
I explored the house only to fall more in love with it. There was a sloping roof which matched with the greenery around; the large central open courtyard reminded me of the activities that might have taken place there which felt lively even now when it is completely deserted. The small water body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of the house — of course, it was all dried up now. It’s really wonderful how such things add life to the spaces which otherwise just become structures. Such liveliness and happening turns the house into a home. They say ‘THE HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS’ but now I began to feel it. This is where my heart belongs. This is what I’ destined to do.
When I woke up from the dream, I was clear about everything. I realized where that mile of walk was intending me to lead. I realized what message my dream wanted to convey me. And years later, when finally my turn of choosing my destination came, I simply closed my eyes, held that book in my hand, pressed it against my chest and relived the dream. When I opened my eyes, I was sure what to do. I decided to choose the road — less traveled. Yes, I took up architecture as my profession because this is what I am destined to do. I wanted to do the same thing that the male bird
in the story did, to take pain in building a beautiful house and let others stay in it. This is my dream come true and the happiness that I gain now from this profession is indescribable.
58. To the writer, “he seed that we sow in the beginning” (Paragraph 1) is _______.
A. his story books B. his mother’ food
C. the story of the bird D. the house in his dream
59. Mom’s food always tastes better because .
A. mom cooks with her love B. mom is experienced in cooking
C. moms are better cooks than fathers D. we are so familiar with mom’s food
60. In the writer’s dream, what part of the house attracted him most?
A. The greenery surrounding the house. B. The fact that the house was very large.
C. The liveliness he sensed around the house. D. The body of water that keeps the house cool
61. The above passage is mainly about _______.
A. where the true meaning of responsibility lies
B. how the writer finally becomes an honest citizen
C. what we need to do when we are seeking fortune
D. why the writer takes up architecture as his career
C
Who do you feel closer to — your mom or your dad?
In almost every culture in the world, mothers are thought to be more important than fathers during children’s development and more likely to build strong bonds with their children.
This belief had existed for a long time until scientists started asking a new question: What do fathers contribute to their children besides their genes? They must mean something, or they would have disappeared from children’s lives at an earlier time in evolution（进化）. So, a new science of fatherhood was born.
American journalist Paul Raeburn collected the discoveries over the years and put them into his new book, Do Fathers Matter? What Science Is Telling Us About the Parent We’ve Overlooked, hoping to make people better see the many ways that fathers influence their children.
For example, Ronald Preston Rohner, a scientist at the University of Connecticut, US, spent several years studying how being accepted or rejected by parents influences children’s personality. He found that children who are accepted by both their parents are usually independent and hold a positive worldview while those who feel turned down by either parent may turn out hostile and negative.
Melanie Horn-Mallers, a psychologist at California State University, found that sons who have happy memories of their fathers are better able to handle day-to-day stress after growing up.
Another study, by Richard Koestner at McGill University, Canada, focused on how children develop empathy（同理心）. After looking at various possible factors, Koestner found one to be more important than others — how much time their fathers spend with them.
“We were amazed to find that how affectionate parents were with their children didn’t matter much to the development of empathy,” said Koestner. “And we were astounded at how strong the father’s influence was.”
Indeed, evidence shows that fathers make unique contributions to their children’s happiness. However, that doesn’t mean that children in families without fathers are definitely going to become failures. Just look at US President Barack Obama. He is a great example of what can be achieved by people who grow up in single-mother households.
62. It’s been discovered by scientists that children feeling refused by their parents ______.
A. often shape their own ideas B. are less likely to be successful
C. usually manage to live with stress
D. tend to hold negative worldviews
63. Based on the passage, the development of empathy in children is influenced most by ______.
A. how happy they are with their fathers
B. how affectionate they are with their parents
C. how much time their fathers spend with them
D. how well their fathers get on with their mothers
64. The underlined word “astounded” in Paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. surprised B. delighted C. confused D. upset
65.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To find out why children have better bonds with their mothers.
B. To report on a book studying how fathers influence their children.
C. To tell how different in the influences of mothers and fathers on children.
D. To explain what influences children’s personality most during their development.D.
I have only once been in trouble with the law. The whole process of being arrested and taken to court was a rather unpleasant experience at the time, but it makes a good story now. What makes it rather disturbing was the arbitrary circumstances both of my arrest and my subsequent fate in court.
It happened in February about twelve years ago. I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October. I was still living at home at the time.
One morning I was in Richmond, a suburb of London near where I lived. I was looking for a temporary job so that I could save up some money to go traveling. As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry, I was taking my time, looking in shop windows, strolling in the park, and sometimes just stopping and looking around me. It must have been this obvious aimlessness that led to my downfall.
It was about half past eleven when it happened. I was just walking out of the local library, having unsuccessfully sought employment there, when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talking to me. I thought he was going to ask me the time. Instead, he said he was a police officer and he was arresting me. At first I thought it was some kind of joke.
But then another policeman appeared, this time in uniform, and I was left in no doubt.
“But what for?” I asked.
“Wandering with intent to commit an arrestable offence.” he said.
“What offence?” I asked.
“Theft.” he said.
“Theft of what?” I asked.
“Milk bottles,” he said, and with a perfectly straight face too!
“Oh,” I said.
It turned out there had been a lot of petty thefts in the area, particularly that of stealing milk bottles from doorsteps.
Then I made my big mistake. At the time I was nineteen, had long untidy hair, and regarded myself as part of the sixties’ “youth counterculture”. As a result, I wanted to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident, so I said, “How long have you been following me?” in the most casual and conversational tone I could manage. I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of situation, and it confirmed them in their belief that I was a thoroughly disreputable （品行不端的）character.
A few minutes later a police car arrived.
“Get in the back,” they said. “Put your hands on the back of the front seat and don’t move them.”
They got in on either side of me. It wasn’t funny any more.
At the police station they questioned me for several hours. I continued to try to look worldly and familiar with the situation. When they asked me what I had been doing, I told them I’d been looking for a job. “Aha,” I could see them thinking, “unemployed”.
Eventually, I was officially charged and told to report to Richmond Magistrates’ Court the following Monday. Then they let me go.
I wanted to conduct my own defense in court, but as soon as my father found out what had happened, he hired a very good lawyer. We went along that Monday armed with all kinds of witnesses, including my English teacher from school as a character witness. But he was never called on to give evidence. My “trial” didn’t get that far. The magistrate （法官） dismissed the case after fifteen minutes. I was free. The poor police had never stood a chance. The lawyer even succeeded in getting costs awarded against the police.
And so I do not have a criminal record. But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on. I had the “right” accent, respectable middle-class parents in court, reliable witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good lawyer. Given the obscure nature of the charge, I feel sure that if I had come from a different background, and had really been unemployed, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty. While asking for costs to be awarded, my lawyer’s case quite obviously revolved （回转） around the fact that I had a “brilliant academic record”.
Meanwhile, just outside the courtroom, one of the policemen who had arrested me was
gloomily complaining to my mother that another youngster had been turned against the police. “You could have been a bit more helpful when we arrested you,” he said to me reproachfully （责备地）.
What did he mean? Probably that I should have looked outraged and said something like, “Look here, do you know who you’re talking to? I am a highly successful student with a brilliant academic record. How dare you arrest me!” Then they, probably, would have apologized perhaps even taken off their caps, and let me on my way.
66. The first man who came up to him was ______.
A. not a policeman B. a good joker
C. a uniformed policeman D.a policeman in plain clothes
67. The court never asked the author’s English teacher to give evidence because _______.
A. he was found to be unqualified as a character witness
B. the author wanted to conduct his own defense in court
C. the case was dismissed before the trial reached that stage
D. the time for the trial was limited to fifteen minutes only
68. The author believes that he would most probably have been declared guilty if _______.
A. the magistrate had been less gentle B. he had really been out of work
C. he had been born in a lower— class family D. both B and C
69. In the opinion of one of the policeman who had arrested the author, the whole thing might not have occurred if ______.
A. he hadn’t wandered aimlessly B. he had tried to look cool
C. he had protested strongly at the time D. he had begged to be allowed to go home
70. We can see from the passage that the author ______.
A. has never broken the law B. has broken the law only once
C. has broken the law on more than one occasion D. once broke the law without knowing it
第二卷 非选择题（共35分）
一、任务型阅读：（共10题，每题1分，共10分）
Worry about time pressure is so routine that it has become a common cultural vocabulary. Everybody, it seems, is stressed out about time, and achieving “balance” between work and family has become quite difficult for middle-class family life.
Just as businesses are shifting from Industrial Age to networks, so, too, is the American family undergoing a social revolution. With many educated mothers and fathers working longer hours, they are linked to their kids by a web of cellphones and e-mails.
Kids are taking part in more activities actively and are using information technologies to develop their own electronic networks of relationships, from friends at school to cousins in distant cities.
Others have mastered the art of combining work duty and home life in a way that was not possible before, answering an e-mail from work one minute and helping with homework the next. And the younger members of the family—already far more experienced in networking than their parents—are getting a chance to see what approaches work and what falls flat.
Historically, the organization of the family has mirrored, to some degree, the organization of the workplace. Take the classic middle-class family of the 1950s and 1960s for example. With a secure job, Dad could afford to work not much more than 40 hours a week, and Mom could stay at home to raise the children. The family of that time did many things together. The classic example is eating dinner every evening at the kitchen table.
Fast forward to the 2000s. Today, both Mom and Dad are more likely to have careers. The combined workweek of a husband and wife in their prime working years with children is 68 hours, up from 59 hours in 1979. The better educated the couple, the more hours they put in. At the same time, their jobs have changed. The rote work is being done by computers. At home, standards for a healthy, emotionally rich family life are a lot higher than they used to be. Schedules during spare time are filled with all kinds of lessons for the kids, and exercise classes for Mom.
Now, parents' goal is to raise children to the creative and adaptable both to compete successfully with their Chinese and Indian peers(同龄人). To achieve these goals, families are learning to turn technology to their advantage. Many time-pressed workers now realize that technology creates greater possibilities for busy families to stay in touch and, at the same time, increase family time.
But just as e-mails and conference calls fill up time on the job, people often use the technology to fill too much in at home as well. You have to control the technology and make it work for you, not work you. If you tell yourself, “I'm not going to check my e-mail for two days,” you should never break your promise.

As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, and no cages either. It was obvious that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the rope of the same size to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away.”
The man was amazed. These animals can break free from their bonds at any time, but because they believe they can’t, they are stuck right where they are.

作文：
Some adult elephants, which could have easily broken away from the rope which confined them, chose to remain where they were. This was largely due to their conditioned thinking pattern, which was formed from their early age.
The passage casts light on the moral that once the fixed thinking pattern is deeply rooted in one’s mind, it becomes extremely challenging for him to make any positive changes to the circumstances. Ridiculous as it may sound, it is not uncommon for us to see some vivid examples around. For instance, some of us invariably blame our failure in exams on our poor genes inherited from our parents, thus never adopting any effective approaches to polish up this subject.
To eliminate this vicious thinking pattern, I should determinedly turn to my teachers or parents for help. I will talk my problems through and seek their suggestions. Once finding out the underlying reasons for my fixed thinking pattern, I will think out of the box and see things from a different angle.
