It was her giggling that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn't all that funny.

Walking over to the offender, I asked for the31 . Frozen, she refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet 32 between teacher and student. When she finally 33 it over she whispered, “Okay, but I didn't draw it”.

It was a hand-drawn 34 of me, teeth blackened and the words “I'm stupid” coming out of my mouth. I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind, 35 , was working angrily as I struggled not to 36 .

I figured I knew the two most likely candidates for drawing the picture. It would do them some 37 to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!

Thankfully, I was able to keep myself 38 .

When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told them how 39 this was for me. I told them there must be a reason 40 and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I sniffed in the back of the classroom.

As I 41 the notes later, many of them said something like, “I've got nothing against you,” or “I'm sorry you were hurt . ” Some kids said, “We're 42 of you.” But two notes, from the girls who I 43 were behind the picture, had a list of issues．I was too 44 , too stric t…

Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of 45 my students, I had begun commanding them to 46 .When I thought I was driving them to success, I was 47 driving them away.

I had some apologizing to do. But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card．The one 48 by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for 49 .

This was a lesson for both the kids and me. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the 50 .

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. “Bananas 300 naira.Peanuts 200 naira.” He said

in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didn’t have change, so I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.

When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it’s not that uncommon to see a little boy who s hould be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.

I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What's up”. I asked him. “I...I don't have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills. "Will this help？” I asked. He looked around nervously before ta king the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. "Thank you, sir," he said. 'Thank you very much.”

When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for school-books. What if he's a cheat？ And then I wondered why I did it Did I do it to make myself feel better？ Was I using him？ Later, I realized that I didn't know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.

Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face

"oh, gosh! Long time."

"Are you in school now？” I asked.

He nodded.

"That's good," I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. "Here," I held out a 500 naira bill. "Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. "What's wrong？” I asked. "It's a gift" .

He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat. He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, "I've been waiting to give these to you."

51. What was the author's first impression of the boy？

A. He seemed to be poor and greedy.

B. He seemed good at doing business.

C. He seemed to live a badly-off life.

D. He seemed younger than his age.

52. When the author met the boy again, he pulled over and waved to the boy with the purpose of____.

A. buying some bananas and peanuts.

B. getting back his change from the boy.

C. trying to help him with more money.

D. figuring out why he remained selling fruits.

53. Why did the author give his money to the boy？

A. Because he had enough money to do that.

B. Because he was brought up to help others.

Should every teenager be given a vaccine（疫苗）against the effects of nicotine, and so prevent them becoming addicted to cigarettes？

This controversial possibility seems likely to happen in the future, thanks to the development of a new vaccine for nicotine addiction. The vaccine was designed for people who want to quit smoking but who repeatedly relapse（复发）.But since most countries are failing

to cut the number of children taking up smoking, many people will want to know whether the vaccine should be used far more widely if it proves to be effective.

“The vaccine will be tested first on relapsing smokers, then on those who plan to quit, then on those who are not yet completely a ddicted,” says Frank Vocci of the National Institute of Drug Abuse. “The final step would be vaccinating young people before they even try smoking, but that’s a long way down the road.”

John Roberts, medical director of British drug company Xenova, is very enthusiastic. “I think prevention is a huge opportunity,” he says. “If you can take away the pleasure nicotine gives, then teenagers who start smoking are more likely to stop before it becomes a habit.”

80% of smokers start in their teens, with 360,000 teenagers and children in the US taking up the habit per year. But would the vaccine be given to all teenagers or only a selected few？“It’s hard to decide which children are most at risk of becoming smokers,” says Amanda Sandford of Action on Smoking and Health. Instead she favors education as a way of discouraging children from smoking. Nabi Biopharmaceuticals is also cautious，“It is very difficult to know what is the right age to give the vaccine to children.”

There are also worries about giving the vaccine to long-term adult smokers. Will addicted smokers simply try to beat the vaccine’s antibodies（抗体）by smoking more？ Gary Norwith, Nabi’s clinical director, says this would be almost impossible. “You’d have to stick an entire pack of cigarettes in your mou th and smoke for hours to beat the antibodies,” he says.

55.What’ Roberts’s attitude towards giving teens the vaccine？

A. Cautious

B. Worried

C. Doubtful

D. Positive

56. What may Sanford agree with？

A. Older children have the right to decide.

B. It’s important to educate children on the danger of smoking.

C. Every child should be given the vaccine.

D. Children are most at risk of becoming smokers.

57.Norwith’s words in the last paragraph suggest that_____.

A. long-term adult smokers smoke for hours every day.

B. it is hard for children to become long-term smokers.

C. the vaccine is effective in helping addicted smokers.

D. he is worried about the vaccine’s long-term effects.

58.Which of the following would be the best title for the text？

A. Stop them before they start.

B. Strong effects of nicotine.

C. More teenagers become addicted.

D. Protect teenage nicotine addiction.

While growing up in Jersey in the 1960s, I always seemed to be building things. One summer I build a model car with my father. It was a simple affair, and as a capable 12-year-old,I could have easily done it alone. But my father spent the time together with me, and before I knew it, we were both out in the garage, working away.

I wish I had thought about this when I was raising my first son. We never built anything together. Oh, we had a lot of fun, for sure. But we never undertook a common work of our hands.

A few years ago, when Anton, my second son, asked if we could build a tree house in the big silver maple behind our house, his suggestion immediately reminded me of the memory. Yes, I thought. Of course. My second chance. And so, one day while Anton was in school and I had some free time, I bought some wood. But one thing led to another and we got only as far as

the ladder and a simple platform. His vision for the tree house was not fulfilled that summer, and the three following summers saw me involved with other things. In the middle of our quiet supper last night, I looked at Anton, a high school stude nt now and asked, “Anton, are you still interested in finishing the tree house？” “Sure, Dad,” he said, and within that “sure” was contained, perhaps, his own self-awareness of a childhood to which he was still attached.

We continued where we had left off. I was surprised at how good a worker Anton had become. Where four years ago all he could really do with confidence was hammer nails, now he was measuring and cutting. In one moment that took my breath away, he attempted to center a support beam（支撑梁）while l ooking to me for direction. “Is it centered, Dad？” I waved him a little to the right. Then a little more. Then I said. “Perfect.”

And it was perfect. As was this second chance, I finally realized that my father hadn't had to help me build that model car in 1966. He wanted to. And that made all the difference.

59 Not having built anything together with his first son, the author felt _____.

A. disappointed

B. satisfied

C. regretful

D. relieved

60. Why didn't they finish building the tree house at first？

A. It was too hot those summers.

B. Anton wasn't confident enough.

C. They gradually lost interest in it.

D. They were both occupied with other things.

61. From the fourth paragraph, we can see that the father _____.

A. was proud of his son

B. missed the last chance

C. felt content with the tree house

D. hoped to finish the work perfectly

62. It can be inferred that the author realized _____.

A. the quiet passing of childhood

B. the difficulty in raising children

C. the children's dependence on their father

D. the significance of undertaking a common work with children

Breathe, wave and smile. Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers. The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.

It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. Each deserved it. The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement.

Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in cap and gown.

Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance.

Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. The tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion. It was as the class motto says, “Life brings us tears, smiles and memories. The tears dry; the smiles fade; but the memories last forever.”

Then came the core （核心） of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.

To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. A girl sitting next to me even started yawning. But it wasn’t boring for those receiving the diploma：they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.

A new page in the book of that person’s life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures：futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.

63. What’s the article mainly about？

A. An American high school’s graduation ceremony

Different groups around the world are working to expand the uses of mobile technology in healthcare. Patricia Mechael is executive director of an organization called the mHealthAlliance. She says, "In the world, there are six billion mobile phone subscriptions in a population of seven billion people.”

Patricia says at present a lot of work is being done to use mobile technology for mother and child health. More than 4,000 people from 50 countries have been meeting near Washington this week. The meeting is the fourth annual mHealthSummit. It brings together experts from what the organizers call the mHealth ecosystem.

In 2011 Secretary of State Hillary Clinton launched a public/private partnership called the Mobile Alliance for Maternal Action, or MAMA, Kirsten Gagnaire is the global director of MAMA. She sa ys, “There are about 800 women a day globally and about three million babies every year that die from pregnancy and childbirth-related causes. The MAMA program sends messages to mobile phones to educate women about their health. The program has a set of me ssages that cover pregnancy and the first year of a baby’s life.”Health messages may also be sent to a pregnant woman’s husband and mother-in-law. In that way they too can understand what needs to be done.

Patricia Mechael of the mHealthAlliance says messages can be text or voicemail. She says, "For example, you can have a pregnant woman in Bangladesh registered into a system that provides messages that are timed to her pregnancy that can help her know what to do, when to do certain things. And then when to go in for specific treatment issues, or prevention care.”

Even simple text messages can be important sources of information to people without Internet access. And Kirsten Gagnaire of the Mobile Alliance for Maternal Health says even online users may not understand all the information available. She says, "You have to be able to read through thousands of entries that come back to you on Google, for example, and then figure out what that information means to you. And that's not something that someone in a poor, illiterate or semi-literate kind of situation can do."

67. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mainly tell us？

A. People are paying a lot of attention to health care.

B. Mobile phones are widely used among people.

C. Almost every person has a mobile phone in the world.

D. People are trying to expand the uses of mobile technology.

68. What Kirsten Gagnaire said in the Paragraph 3 indicates that___.

A. it is important to send helpful messages to pregnant women and new mother

B. it can’t be av oided that pregnant women and newly-born babies die every day

C. lots of newly-born babies died due to their mothers’ not attending to them well

D. lots of work is being done to expand mobile phone use for mother ＆child’s health

69.What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the last paragraph？

A. It’s convenient for pregnant women to get information.

B. The Internet plays a very important role in our daily life.

C. There is a lot of useful information available on Google.

D. Text messages are important sources for certain people.

70. What is the best title for the passage？

A. Using a Mobile Phone to Read in the Spare Time

B. Helping Pregnant Women in Developing Countries

C. Using a Mobile Phone to Improve Mother ＆Child’s Health

D. Helping Pregnant Women Get Access to the Internet
