Eventually all suns will 16 their fuel, explode and then become cold and dark. Matter itself will disappear and the universe will become 17 for the rest of time.

This was the general drift of my thoughts as my wife and I18 my eldest son as a freshman at college. That moment at the dorm is 19 at the kindergarten door, at the gates of summer camp, at every occasion of parting and 20 . But it comes surprising, taking what you 21 most.

Our ancestors thought this parting should take place 22 . In many societies adolescents were sent away to live with friends or relatives right after adolescence. This was supposed to 23 the conflicts that come from 24 teenagers and their parents very near.

I’m sure my father realized it at a(n) 31 moment. And I certainly didn’t notice or understand. At first, he was a giant who held my hand and 32 my sky. Then a middle-aged man who paid my bills. Now, decades after his passing, a much-loved 33 . But I can remember the last time I hugged him in his home, where I always had a room. I can only hope to leave my son the same.

My son, those days have been the greatest wonder and 34 of my life. And there will always be a 35 for you.

What does it mean to say that we live in a world of persuasion? It means that we live among competing interests. Your r oommate’s need to study for an exam may take priority over pizza. Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade.

In such a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our points of view. When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not always prevail — other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situation, and the merit of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.

Some people, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an unwelcome interruption into their lives. Just the opposite, we believe that persuasion is unavoidable —to live is to persuade. Persuasion may be ethical or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring or degrading. Persuaders may enlighten our minds or get our vulnerability. Ethical persuasion, however, calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners. Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make. Therefore, the most basic part of education is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other.

Beyond its personal importance to us, persuasion is necessary to society. The right to persuade and be persuaded is the bedrock of the American political system, guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution.

38. According to the passage, persuasion means ______.

A. changing others’ points of view

B. exercising power over other people

C. getting other people to consider your point of view

D. getting people to agree with you and do what you want

39. The underlined word in the secon d paragraph “prevail” means ______.

A. win

B. fail

C. speak

D. listen

40. The passage mainly discusses ______.

A. that people persuade to get what they want

B. that people persuade in different ways

C. that persuasion is widely accepted and appreciated

D. that persuasion is important and it is all around us

C

A few years ago, in one experiment in behavioral psychology, Stanley Mailgram of Yale University tested 40 subjects for their willingness to obey instructions given by a "leader" in a situation in which the subjects might feel a personal dislike of the actions they were called upon to perform. Specifically, Mailgram told each volunteer "teacher-subject" that the experiment was in the noble cause of education, and was designed to test whether or not punishing pupils for their mistakes would have a positive effect on the pupils' ability to learn.

The teacher-subjects were placed before a panel of thirty switches with labels ranging from "15 volts of electricity ( slight shock) " to "450 volts ( danger - severe shock) " in steps of 15 volts each. The

teacher-subject was told that whenever the pupil gave the wrong answer to a question, a shock was to be administered. The supposed "pupil" was in reality an actor hired by Mailgram to pretend to receive the shocks by giving out cries and screams. Mailgram told the teacher-subject to ignore the reactions of the pupil, and to administer whatever level of shock was called for.

As the experiment unfolded, the "pupil" would deliberately give the wrong answers to questions, thereby bringing on various electrical punishments, even up to the danger level of 300 volts and beyond. Many of the teacher-subjects balked at administering the higher levels of punishment, and turned to Milgram. In these situations, Milgram calmly explained that the teacher-subject was to carry on with the experiment and that it was important for the sake of the experiment that the procedure be followed through to the end. what Mailgram was trying to discover was the number of teacher-subjects who would be willing to administer the highest levels of shock, even in the face of strong personal and moral revulsion(反感) against the rules and conditions of the experiment.

Before carrying out the experiment, Milgram explained his idea to a group of 39 psychiatrists and asked them to predict the average percentage of people who would be willing to administer the highest shock level of 450 volts. The overwhelming consensus was that basically all the teacher-subjects would refuse to obey the experimenter. The psychiatrists felt that "most subjects would not go beyond 150 volts" and only a small percentage of about one in l,000 would give the highest shock of 450 volts.

What were the actual results? Well, over 60 per cent of the teacher-subjects continued to obey Milgram up to the 450-volt limit! In repetitions of the experiment in other countries, the percentage was even higher, reaching 85 per cent in one country: How can we possibly account for this result?

One might firstly argue that there must be some sort of built-in animal aggression instinct(本能) that was activated by the experiment. A modern socio-biologist might even go so far as to claim that thisaggressive instinct was of survival value to our ancestors in their struggle against the hardships of life onthe plains and in the caves, finally finding its way into our genetic make-up.

Another explanation is to see the teacher-subjects' actions as a result of the social context in which the experiment was carried out. As Mailgram himself pointed out, "Most subjects in the experiment see their behaviour in a larger context that is good and useful to society-- the pursuit of scientific truth. The psychological laboratory has a strong claim to legitimacy(合法性) and gains trust and confidence in those who perform there. An action such as shocking a victim, which in isolation (单独看来) appears evil, acquires a completely different meaning when placed in this setting. "

Here we have two different explanations. The problem for us is to sort out which of these two polar explanations is more reasonable. This is the problem of modern sociobiology -- to discover how hardwired genetic programming decides the interaction of animals and humans with their environment, that is, their behavior. Put another way, sociobiology is concerned with explaining the biological basis of all behavior.

41. Why did Mailgram do the experiment?

A. To discover people's willingness for orders from leaders.

B. To display the power of punishment on ability to lean.

C. To test people's willingness to sacrifice for science.

D. To explore the biological basis of social behavior.

42. What does the underlined phrase "balked at" most probably mean?

A. commented on

B. hesitated in

C. got rid of

D. looked down upon

43. Before the experiment took place the psychiatrists_________.

A. believed that a shock of 150 volts was unbearable

B. failed to agree on how the teacher-subjects would respond to instructions

C. under-predicted the teacher-subjects' willingness to follow experimental procedure

D. thought that many of the teacher-subjects would administer a shock of 450 volts

44.Which of the following is mentioned as one possible factor that explains the teacher-subjects' behavior?

A. Economic factor.

B. Biological factor.

C. Cultural factor.

D. Historical factor.

45. What's the author's purpose with this article?

A. To introduce a problem sociobiology deals with.

B. To explain a scientific phenomenon.

C. To report an experiment that focuses on education.

D. To argue against a scientific view.

Bit by bit, the sand dust that fills the sky is dying down. The blue sky and the burning sun once again hang over the desert.

He is on the road, driving his beat-up yellow cab. The sides of the road are littered with damaged vehicles. Masses of smoke in the distance tell him that a war is being dragged on throughout his country.

I t’s a fine day despite the choking heat. Not a breath of wind is blowing.

A group of vehicles are traveling towards him, carrying many passengers. The scene reminds him of the market days in this country when crowds of trucks transport folks to the markets; the only difference is, this time, they are not trucks, but tanks, carrying foreigners, guns in hand. He stares at them. They stare back. So they pass by one another.

“The damned war!” he whispers bitterly. Two days ago, a bomb fell on the market in fron t of his house, destroying nearly everything in sight. He survived by luck. He decided then and there that he would give up this cab business. This will be his final run. After this, he will leave this place together with his wife and children.

“Shala and my children, we’ll soon meet each other again, after I’m done here.” He turns his head to take a glance at a photo of his wife and children. The glass on the frame is broken, but their smiles in the picture do not fail to provide him with the only comfort that he has.

Shortly he arrives at a checkpoint. Tanks sit by the side of the road, the sight of which sends a marked coldness through his backbone. A bunch of soldiers armed to the teeth stand by. A foreign soldier signals him to stop. He calms himself down and pulls over. During the past few days, nearly no civilian(平民)vehicles come out of the capital city, his car being the only one on roads.

A few foreign soldiers come up to him, one, two, three, four, five. The leader bends over to have a look at the old car, then at him. “Where do you come from and where are you going?” With a smile on his face, he answers with a broken speech in the tongue that the soldier can understand, “Sir, I come from the capital. I’m leaving that place because it is a very dangerous place to be, with the war and everything.”

While talking, he hands a cigarette over to the soldier, then lights it up for him.

“When will the war end?” he asks.

“It won’t take long. We’ll soon give all of you in the capital the true freedom.” The soldier breathes a deep mouthful. He seems to have spotted the phot o in the car, “The cigarette is not bad at all. Are those your wife and kids? I have two of my own, roughly the same age.”

“Oh, yes, they are mine and they are constantly on my mind. They left the city a bit earlier, and I’m on my way to be reunited with t hem. Perhaps I’m never coming back. Driving a cab around during war times is too dangerous. I’m giving up the business.” He looks at the soldier, still smiling.

“After we overthrow your dictator(独裁者), you won’t have that to worry about. You can come back and pick up your life again.” The soldier is leaning on the door of the car. It is perhaps the first time in many days that he has seen a happy face among the local people. It cheers him up.

“Mayb e, but I have to go to see my family. If you would pay us a visit, my wife will prepare a good meal for all of you. Come with me. This is going to be my last business run and I won’t even charge you.”

“Can’t make it. We’re on duty. Give our regards to your wife and kids.” The soldier is a bit excited, thinking maybe quite some locals have open arms for them after all. “Oh, yes, I almost forgot. The south is battle-infected. Where is your family?”

Still smiling, he picks up the broken picture frame, presses a kiss on the photo, then turns around, staring into the eyes of that soldier, not quite himself from excitement, and the other foreign soldiers

holding guns. Words drop out of his lips slowly but firmly:

“Paradise.”

Perhaps the last thing he sees is the confused, fearful, twisted expression on the face of that soldier, and the cigarette end dropping from his fingers.

Then he pushes the button.

46. What is this passage mainly about?

A. A cruel war going on in the country.

B. A brave defender of the country.

四、任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)

To most people, climate change means melting snowcaps and helpless polar bears suffering hotness under increasingly serious temperatures. But most of the world’s populations aren’t likely to see an iceberg in their lifetimes, much less a stranded polar bear in the wild. That explains why the dangers of these environmental changes haven’t exactly earned high priority on most people’s list of attention-worthy crises. The politicization of climate change --- the never-ending debate over whether it exists, for example, its implications and potential solutions --- further discourages the public from action.

But what if climate change is instead about an increase in childhood asthma(哮喘), or a surge in infectious diseases? That’s what some climate change experts are considering, as they steer the conversation about global warming toward the public health issues it raises.

According to a recent study, framing global warming as a public health issue produces the most emotionally compelling(强制性的)response among people. Matthew Nisbet, co-author of the study, says such positive actions are critical for communicating the importance of climate change to a broader and more diverse proportion o f Americans who may not care about environmental issues. “You have to give them a sense of hope that they can become part of something that addresses the problem,” he says.

The Obama administration seems to be getting the message. Earlier this month, the White House chose to honor medical and environmental professionals in its Champions of Change program, for their efforts in “protecting public health in a changing climate”.

Even Champion of Change recipient Gary Cohen says that the re-branding will require the backing of medical professionals, who serve as the hubs(中心)of education for raising community awareness about the health consequences of climate change.

Sociologist Sabrina McCormick agrees that doctors potentially have a unique role that can top poli tical differences. “The public really care about what they say,” McCormick says. That’s why anti-smoking advocates focused on educating medical professionals to quit smoking first before addressing the greater public.

The timing may also be right for such conversations as well. With unemployment now below 7%, coupled with the frequency in extreme weather, people may be more likely to accept public health efforts

aimed at reducing their exposure to potentially costly health problems that might be emerging from

第五部分:书面表达(满分25分)

请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语一篇150词左右的文章。

In order to lessen pollution for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, Beijing and its neighboring regions set tight limits on car use, ordered factories and construction sites to close and declared a holiday for public-sector employees.

The tough pollution-reduction measures greatly improved air quality and the phrase "APEC Blue" was created on social media to describe the clear sky that came with a heavy price tag.

Following the APEC air pollution control plan, between Nov. 1 and Nov. 12, 2014, the city's-daily PM 2.5 density (浓度) fell greatly, a 55% reduction compared with the same period last year, according to the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau.

Daily average levels of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and PM 10 decreased by 57%,31% and 44% from the same period in 2013, it said.

According to the bureau, the control of vehicle and factory emissions(排放物),the 'two biggest sources of smog, is the most effective measure.

第五部分:One possible version:

During the APEC meetings some measures concerning pollution control were adopted, including limiting the number of cars, closing factories and offering a holiday, improving the air quality of Beijing greatly.

I think we can learn a valuable lesson after "APEC Blue" appeared in Beijing. For one thing, the government is capable of fighting air pollution. For another, it is the consumption of fossil fuels that leads to serious smog in north China.

It is everyone's duty to try to keep the sky blue every day. There are many things we can do to fight air pollution. First, we should use public transportation as often as possible instead of driving cars, which will reduce air pollution. Second, it is a good habit to recycle used objects, which can help us save energy. Third, the government should take measures to encourage companies to stick to energy saving and pollution reduction.
