Mary Allen was my best friend—like the sister I ever had. We did everything together—piano lessons，movies，swimming and horseback riding.
When I was 13，my family moved away. Mary and I kept in touch through letters and we saw each other on special occasions—like my wedding and Marys. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes， and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back， stamped “Address Unknown”.
Over the years， I thought of Mary often. I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I need to share my sorrow when my brother and then my mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could fill.
One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a picture of a young woman who looked a lot like Mary and whose last name was Wagman—Marys married name.“There must be thousands of Wagmans，” I thought， but I wrote to her anyway.
She called as soon as she got my letter.“Mrs. Tobin！” she said excitedly， “Mary Allen Wagman is my mother.” Minutes later I heard a voice that I recognized at once， even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and asked about each others lives.
Now the empty place in my heart is filled， and there is one thing that Mary and I know for sure： We wont lose each other again！

Short Essay on Antisocial （反社會的） Behaviour in Children
Childrens insecurities and frustration （沮丧） show up directly or symbolically in their free play. The aggressive， destructive， unsocial， or antisocial attitudes are acted out in play. As professionally mature physical educators， health educators， and recreation specialists we must try to structure play situations that will explain impulses， feelings， and fantasies. Games and sports often become substitute responses which redirect behaviour. Hambridge illustrates how structured play therapy （療法） enables child and therapist （治疗师） to bring energy to bear where it will count. The therapist acts to focus attention， to excite further activity， to give approval， to gain information， or to set limits. The structured play situation is used as a stimulus （刺激物） to enable the independent， creative free play of the child in treatment.
In tracing the evolution of play therapy， Lebo concludes that if play therapy had developed solely from the theoretical explanations of play it would be used to educate children to play properly.
Bernstein insists that play is a natural means of expression for the child and can be clinically useful in diagnosis （诊断）， therapy， and research. Play may reduce anxiety in children and be helpful in evaluating the need for mental help.
Cox in studying sociometric status and individual adjustment before and after play therapy， found that sociometric status was shown to be an effective index of adjustment for a group of 52 orphans， aged 5 to 13 years. The findings supported the theory that the sociometric status is a sensitive and valid index of behavioural change.
Chittenden used play situations as a means of helping children get a better understanding of their own problems and as a means of finding whether they gained in understanding. Play was used also as a means of direct teaching of manners and techniques that would help children to avoid quarrels.
Shaw found that an inconsistent or conflicting environment holds back the development of socially approved behaviour. He showed quite dramatically the influence of the group， or small part of society and its mores， upon the attitude and behaviour of individuals.
Wattenberg noted that in any group of criminals， the first signs of behaviour difficulties appear in later childhood， often before the age of ten. For eleven year olds， poor school performance and gang activities are strongly related.
Frustrations met in school may have led to hostile feelings which were expressed in destruction of property or fighting. The author suggests that for those who failed in efforts to earn social recognition in sports or scholarship， daring deeds of theft may have been compensation. 41. How can a therapist treat a child who shows signs of antisocial behavior？
A. By designing proper sports or play situations.
B. By explaining impulses， feelings and fantasies.
C. By enabling independent and creative free play.
D. By clinically diagnosing and researching.
42. Who might agree that if a child plays freely he may feel less worried？
A. Lebo.B. Bernstein.
C. Cox.D. Chittenden.
43. We can infer from the passage that Shaw focuses on the effect of on children.
A. gang activities
B. misunderstanding
C. poor school performance
D. peer pressure
44. The underlined words “daring deeds” in the last paragraph most probably refer to “”.
A. improper behaviorB. brave action
C. helpful thoughtD. extreme sports
D
I recently read a newspaper article about an 8yearold boy who found an envelope containing more than $600 and returned it to the bank whose name appeared on the envelope. The bank traced the money to its owner and returned it to him. All is right with the world. Right？ Wrong.
As a reward， the man who lost the money gave the boy $3. Not a lot， but a symbol of his appreciation nonetheless and not compulsory. After all， returning money should not be considered extraordinary. A simple “thank you” is adequate. But some of the teachers at the boys school felt a reward was not only appropriate， but also required. Outraged at the apparent stinginess of the person who lost the cash， these teachers took up a collection for the boy. About a week or so later， they presented the boy with a $150 check， explaining they felt his honesty should be praised and advocated. Evidently the virtues of honesty and kindness have become commodities that， like everything else， are subject to inflation.
What does this absurd episode say about our society？ It seems the role models our children look up to these days—in this case， teachers—are more confused about values than their young charges. A young boy， obviously well guided by his parents， finds money that does not belong to him and he returns it. He did the right thing. Yet doing the right thing seems to be insufficient incentive （刺激） for action in our modern world. The greed of the 1980s has left us with the everpresent question： whats in it for me？ The promise of the golden rule—that someone might do a good turn for you someday—merits only scorn （譏笑） in the materialistic and fastpaced society of the 1990s.In fact， it is this fast pace that worsens the problem. Modern communications have pushed us into an instant world. With the world racing by us， we have no patience to wait for someone to pay dividends for our good deeds. Immoral virtues are running out of control in our culture. As a society， we seem to be on the point of losing our internal control—the ethical boundaries that guide our actions and feelings. Instead， our ethical standards have been eclipsed by external “stuff” as a measure of our worth. We pass this obscene message on to our children. We offer them money for learning how to convert fractions to decimals. Refreshments are given as a reward for reading.In fact， in one national reading program， a party awaits the entire class if each child reads a certain number of books within a fourmonth period. We call these things incentives， telling ourselves that if we can just reel them in and get them hooked， then the internal rewards will follow. I recently saw a television program where schoolage children were featured as the participants in a program that offers a $10 a week “incentive” if they do not try to run away from school again. Isnt the daily dilemma of wandering around on the streets， hungry and thirsty， enough to discourage them from running away again？ No， it isnt， because we as a society wont allow it to be. Nothing is permitted to succeed or fail on its own merits anymore.
The simple virtues of honesty， kindness and integrity suffer from an image problem and are in desperate need of better publicity （宣揚）. One way to do this is by example. If my son sees me feeling happy after Ive helped a friend clean her basement， then he may do likewise. If my daughter sees me spending a rainy afternoon baking a pumpkin pie instead of spending money at the mall， she may get the message that there are some simple pleasures that dont require a purchase. I fear that in our socalled upwardly mobile world we are on a downward spiral towards becoming morally bankrupt. We may soon make ourselves worthless inside， while desperately clinging to a shell of appearances.
45. What does the underlined word “stinginess” in Paragraph 2 mean？
A. Being greedy for profits.
B. Being seen as ridiculous.
C. Being indifferent to others.
D. Being reluctant to spend money.
46. Teachers raising money for the boys are those who .
A. believe virtue should not get rewarded
B. think an adequate reward is not a must
C. are at a loss as to values and goods
D. get angry that honesty gets no rewards
47. Which of the following is TRUE about peoples values in the 1980s and the 1990s？
A. Doers of good deeds in the 1990s would get teased.
B. Many people in the 1990s were anxious to get rewarded for doing good deeds. C. The internal control in the 1980s caused a serious ethical problem.
D. People in the 1980s deserved more of wealth than what was necessary.
48. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean？
A. Our deciding internal factors have lost their grounds.
B. External incentives have corrupted our ethical standards.
C. Wealth has become the only measure of our ethical standards.
D. Ethical standards guiding our actions and feelings have changed.
49. What can be inferred from the passage？
A. The author passes positive energy to society.
B. Schoolage children remain at school for a reward.
C. The more we award children， the more they will learn.
D. The author does his part to set an example to the two children.
50. What is the authors understanding of publicity for virtues？
A. Moral values are bound to get improved in the future.
B. Virtues are suffering from an image problem currently.
C. Images of virtues badly need to be promoted by example.
D. Well climb up the social ladder consistent with moral worth.
四、任務型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Most people can remember a phone number for up to thirty seconds. When this short amount of time elapses， however， the numbers are erased from the memory. How did the information get there in the first place？ Information that makes its way to the short term memory （STM） does so via the sensory storage area. The brain has a filter which only allows stimuli that is of immediate interest to pass on to the STM， also known as the working memory.
There is much debate about the capacity and duration of the short term memory. The most accepted theory comes from George A. Miller， a cognitive psychologist who suggested that humans can remember approximately seven chunks of information. A chunk is defined as a meaningful unit of information， such as a word or name rather than just a letter or number. Modern theorists suggest that one can increase the capacity of the short term memory by chunking， or classifying similar information together. By organizing information， one can optimize the STM， and improve the chances of a memory being passed on to long term storage.
When making a conscious effort to memorize something， such as information for an exam， many people engage in “rote rehearsal”. By repeating something over and over again， we are able to keep a memory alive. Unfortunately， this type of memory maintenance only succeeds if there are no interruptions. As soon as a person stops rehearsing the information， it has the tendency to disappear. When a pen and paper are not handy， you might attempt to remember a phone number by repeating it aloud. If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to come in before you get the opportunity to make your phone call， you will forget the number instantly. Therefore， rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from the short term to long term memory. A better way is to practice “elaborate rehearsal”. This involves assigning semantic meaning to a piece of information so that it can be filed along with other preexisting long term memories. Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable（可取回的）. Retrieving information can be done by recognition or recall. Humans can recall memories that are stored in the long term memory and used often. However， if a memory seems to be forgotten， it may eventually be retrieved by prompting. The more cues a person is given （such as pictures）， the more likely a memory can be retrieved. This is why multiple choice tests are often used for subjects that require a lot of memorization.
（51） to STMThe short term memory is also （52） to as the working memory， which information makes its way to via the sensory storage area.
Ways to （53） the STM
● One can increase the capacity of the short term memory by chunking， or classifying similar information together.
● One can make a memory more （54） to be passed on to long term memory， with information （55）.
The （56） of rote rehearsal
● “Rote rehearsal” can help keep a memory alive， but the kind of memory can only maintain （57） interruptions.
● The information （58） to disappear once the rehearsal of it is stopped.
Another type of memoryInformation can be （59） more easily by encoding information semantically. It doesnt matter when a memory seems to be forgotten， because （60） can help one pick it up.

请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
A bookseller in Chongqing municipality has been leaving novels on trains and at stations to inspire more commuters to read， after seeing British actress Emma Watson take part in a similar project in London.
Author and bookstore owner Jiang Lin， 29， randomly placed 40 works along the citys lightrail system on Sunday.
“I considered the needs of commuters，” he said. “I hope strangers can feel comforted by the books and feel connected with other readers.”
Those who find a book can read it in public or take it home， but they are encouraged to leave it again on public transportation once they have finished with it， Jiang said.
Up to now， more than 20 people have come onboard and are now working on a more detailed plan to spread the love of reading.
The idea is welcomed by quite a few people， saying that the campaign is of great importance when it comes to helping people improve reading skills. Others， however， set forth a totally different argument， pointing to the fact that books left on the lightrail were damaged and even littered.
“I believe there are many book lovers like me in China， and this project will be welcomed across the country，” Jiang said. 【写作内容】

五、One possible version：
Recently， the Book Fairy Campaign， which happened in Chongqing underground， has raised peoples awareness of reading and caused a hot debate about whether it is of much significance to carry out this event which has also brought about negative effects.
As we know， Chinas average reading time is among the least throughout the globe， which sets alarm bells ringing. How can we change the present situation？ The London project can serve as an example to be followed. As to the phenomenon that a large quantity of books has been damaged or ignored， I suppose it takes time for commuters to develop civilized behavior. Far from satisfactory as it is now， it will surely improve.
Gorky once said， “Books are the stepping stones to human progress.” Therefore， we should read as many books as possible. Meanwhile， creating a beneficial reading atmosphere is essential to building a lifelong learning society. The government as well as individuals is supposed to make more efforts.

Mary Allen was my best friend—like the sister I ever had. We did everything together—piano lessons，movies，swimming and horseback riding.
When I was 13，my family moved away. Mary and I kept in touch through letters and we saw each other on special occasions—like my wedding and Marys. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes， and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back， stamped “Address Unknown”.
Over the years， I thought of Mary often. I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I need to share my sorrow when my brother and then my mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could fill.
One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a picture of a young woman who looked a lot like Mary and whose last name was Wagman—Marys married name.“There must be thousands of Wagmans，” I thought， but I wrote to her anyway.
She called as soon as she got my letter.“Mrs. Tobin！” she said excitedly， “Mary Allen Wagman is my mother.” Minutes later I heard a voice that I recognized at once， even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and asked about each others lives.
Now the empty place in my heart is filled， and there is one thing that Mary and I know for sure： We wont lose each other again！
38. I want to find Mary .
A. to share my stories

Short Essay on Antisocial （反社會的） Behaviour in Children
Childrens insecurities and frustration （沮丧） show up directly or symbolically in their free play. The aggressive， destructive， unsocial， or antisocial attitudes are acted out in play. As professionally mature physical educators， health educators， and recreation specialists we must try to structure play situations that will explain impulses， feelings， and fantasies. Games and sports often become substitute responses which redirect behaviour. Hambridge illustrates how structured play therapy （療法） enables child and therapist （治疗师） to bring energy to bear where it will count. The therapist acts to focus attention， to excite further activity， to give approval， to gain information， or to set limits. The structured play situation is used as a stimulus （刺激物） to enable the independent， creative free play of the child in treatment.
In tracing the evolution of play therapy， Lebo concludes that if play therapy had developed solely from the theoretical explanations of play it would be used to educate children to play properly.
Bernstein insists that play is a natural means of expression for the child and can be clinically useful in diagnosis （诊断）， therapy， and research. Play may reduce anxiety in children and be helpful in evaluating the need for mental help.
Cox in studying sociometric status and individual adjustment before and after play therapy， found that sociometric status was shown to be an effective index of adjustment for a group of 52 orphans， aged 5 to 13 years. The findings supported the theory that the sociometric status is a sensitive and valid index of behavioural change.
Chittenden used play situations as a means of helping children get a better understanding of their own problems and as a means of finding whether they gained in understanding. Play was used also as a means of direct teaching of manners and techniques that would help children to avoid quarrels.
Shaw found that an inconsistent or conflicting environment holds back the development of socially approved behaviour. He showed quite dramatically the influence of the group， or small part of society and its mores， upon the attitude and behaviour of individuals.
Wattenberg noted that in any group of criminals， the first signs of behaviour difficulties appear in later childhood， often before the age of ten. For eleven year olds， poor school performance and gang activities are strongly related.
Frustrations met in school may have led to hostile feelings which were expressed in destruction of property or fighting. The author suggests that for those who failed in efforts to earn social recognition in sports or scholarship， daring deeds of theft may have been compensation. 41. How can a therapist treat a child who shows signs of antisocial behavior？
A. By designing proper sports or play situations.
B. By explaining impulses， feelings and fantasies.
C. By enabling independent and creative free play.
D. By clinically diagnosing and researching.
42. Who might agree that if a child plays freely he may feel less worried？
A. Lebo.B. Bernstein.
C. Cox.D. Chittenden.
43. We can infer from the passage that Shaw focuses on the effect of on children.
A. gang activities
B. misunderstanding
C. poor school performance
D. peer pressure
44. The underlined words “daring deeds” in the last paragraph most probably refer to “”.
A. improper behaviorB. brave action
C. helpful thoughtD. extreme sports
D
I recently read a newspaper article about an 8yearold boy who found an envelope containing more than $600 and returned it to the bank whose name appeared on the envelope. The bank traced the money to its owner and returned it to him. All is right with the world. Right？ Wrong.
As a reward， the man who lost the money gave the boy $3. Not a lot， but a symbol of his appreciation nonetheless and not compulsory. After all， returning money should not be considered extraordinary. A simple “thank you” is adequate. But some of the teachers at the boys school felt a reward was not only appropriate， but also required. Outraged at the apparent stinginess of the person who lost the cash， these teachers took up a collection for the boy. About a week or so later， they presented the boy with a $150 check， explaining they felt his honesty should be praised and advocated. Evidently the virtues of honesty and kindness have become commodities that， like everything else， are subject to inflation.
What does this absurd episode say about our society？ It seems the role models our children look up to these days—in this case， teachers—are more confused about values than their young charges. A young boy， obviously well guided by his parents， finds money that does not belong to him and he returns it. He did the right thing. Yet doing the right thing seems to be insufficient incentive （刺激） for action in our modern world. The greed of the 1980s has left us with the everpresent question： whats in it for me？ The promise of the golden rule—that someone might do a good turn for you someday—merits only scorn （譏笑） in the materialistic and fastpaced society of the 1990s.In fact， it is this fast pace that worsens the problem. Modern communications have pushed us into an instant world. With the world racing by us， we have no patience to wait for someone to pay dividends for our good deeds. Immoral virtues are running out of control in our culture. As a society， we seem to be on the point of losing our internal control—the ethical boundaries that guide our actions and feelings. Instead， our ethical standards have been eclipsed by external “stuff” as a measure of our worth. We pass this obscene message on to our children. We offer them money for learning how to convert fractions to decimals. Refreshments are given as a reward for reading.In fact， in one national reading program， a party awaits the entire class if each child reads a certain number of books within a fourmonth period. We call these things incentives， telling ourselves that if we can just reel them in and get them hooked， then the internal rewards will follow. I recently saw a television program where schoolage children were featured as the participants in a program that offers a $10 a week “incentive” if they do not try to run away from school again. Isnt the daily dilemma of wandering around on the streets， hungry and thirsty， enough to discourage them from running away again？ No， it isnt， because we as a society wont allow it to be. Nothing is permitted to succeed or fail on its own merits anymore.
The simple virtues of honesty， kindness and integrity suffer from an image problem and are in desperate need of better publicity （宣揚）. One way to do this is by example. If my son sees me feeling happy after Ive helped a friend clean her basement， then he may do likewise. If my daughter sees me spending a rainy afternoon baking a pumpkin pie instead of spending money at the mall， she may get the message that there are some simple pleasures that dont require a purchase. I fear that in our socalled upwardly mobile world we are on a downward spiral towards becoming morally bankrupt. We may soon make ourselves worthless inside， while desperately clinging to a shell of appearances.

四、任務型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Most people can remember a phone number for up to thirty seconds. When this short amount of time elapses， however， the numbers are erased from the memory. How did the information get there in the first place？ Information that makes its way to the short term memory （STM） does so via the sensory storage area. The brain has a filter which only allows stimuli that is of immediate interest to pass on to the STM， also known as the working memory.
There is much debate about the capacity and duration of the short term memory. The most accepted theory comes from George A. Miller， a cognitive psychologist who suggested that humans can remember approximately seven chunks of information. A chunk is defined as a meaningful unit of information， such as a word or name rather than just a letter or number. Modern theorists suggest that one can increase the capacity of the short term memory by chunking， or classifying similar information together. By organizing information， one can optimize the STM， and improve the chances of a memory being passed on to long term storage.
When making a conscious effort to memorize something， such as information for an exam， many people engage in “rote rehearsal”. By repeating something over and over again， we are able to keep a memory alive. Unfortunately， this type of memory maintenance only succeeds if there are no interruptions. As soon as a person stops rehearsing the information， it has the tendency to disappear. When a pen and paper are not handy， you might attempt to remember a phone number by repeating it aloud. If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to come in before you get the opportunity to make your phone call， you will forget the number instantly. Therefore， rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from the short term to long term memory. A better way is to practice “elaborate rehearsal”. This involves assigning semantic meaning to a piece of information so that it can be filed along with other preexisting long term memories. Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable（可取回的）. Retrieving information can be done by recognition or recall. Humans can recall memories that are stored in the long term memory and used often. However， if a memory seems to be forgotten， it may eventually be retrieved by prompting. The more cues a person is given （such as pictures）， the more likely a memory can be retrieved. This is why multiple choice tests are often used for subjects that require a lot of memorization.
（51） to STMThe short term memory is also （52） to as the working memory， which information makes its way to via the sensory storage area.
Ways to （53） the STM
● One can increase the capacity of the short term memory by chunking， or classifying similar information together.
● One can make a memory more （54） to be passed on to long term memory， with information （55）.
The （56） of rote rehearsal
● “Rote rehearsal” can help keep a memory alive， but the kind of memory can only maintain （57） interruptions.
● The information （58） to disappear once the rehearsal of it is stopped.

五、書面表达（满分25分）
请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
A bookseller in Chongqing municipality has been leaving novels on trains and at stations to inspire more commuters to read， after seeing British actress Emma Watson take part in a similar project in London.
Author and bookstore owner Jiang Lin， 29， randomly placed 40 works along the citys lightrail system on Sunday.
“I considered the needs of commuters，” he said. “I hope strangers can feel comforted by the books and feel connected with other readers.”
Those who find a book can read it in public or take it home， but they are encouraged to leave it again on public transportation once they have finished with it， Jiang said.
Up to now， more than 20 people have come onboard and are now working on a more detailed plan to spread the love of reading.
The idea is welcomed by quite a few people， saying that the campaign is of great importance when it comes to helping people improve reading skills. Others， however， set forth a totally different argument， pointing to the fact that books left on the lightrail were damaged and even littered.
“I believe there are many book lovers like me in China， and this project will be welcomed across the country，” Jiang said. 【写作内容】

五、One possible version：
Recently， the Book Fairy Campaign， which happened in Chongqing underground， has raised peoples awareness of reading and caused a hot debate about whether it is of much significance to carry out this event which has also brought about negative effects.
As we know， Chinas average reading time is among the least throughout the globe， which sets alarm bells ringing. How can we change the present situation？ The London project can serve as an example to be followed. As to the phenomenon that a large quantity of books has been damaged or ignored， I suppose it takes time for commuters to develop civilized behavior. Far from satisfactory as it is now， it will surely improve.
Gorky once said， “Books are the stepping stones to human progress.” Therefore， we should read as many books as possible. Meanwhile， creating a beneficial reading atmosphere is essential to building a lifelong learning society. The government as well as individuals is supposed to make more efforts.
