While their parents were outside welcoming their older sister home from school, the wires in the familys laundry room caught fire and before anyone knew what was happening, the bedroom next door was consumed in flames. Harleys father was able to rescue his two youngest daughters and save their lives, but Harley was severely burned on 80 percent of her body and her parents were told that she was likely to pass away. Over the next several months, Harley would put up with surgery after surgery and remain hooked up to a ventilator(呼吸机) at the hospital. When she was finally released to go home, Harley had no idea that the toughest battle had not even begun yet. When Harley started school just a few years later, she realized for the first time how cruel her peers could be. Bullied for her appearance and called hateful names, she began to consider ending her life while only in Grade 8. When her friends were getting their first boyfriends and going on their first dates, she was sitting at home wondering if she should end her life. But in 2013, something changed. It was not something on the outside but something inside Harley. She made the conscious decision to become more like the carefree, laughing, joyous little girl that she had not seen since that night in 1997. So for the first time in her life, she put on a blue dress and walked outside into the light of day throwing caution to the wind and daring anyone to try to rain on her parade.5.What was the toughest battle for Harley?A.Her sisters death.

Sitting comfortably in the airplane seat, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat as I realized I had left my dress shoes at home. I was wearing runningshoes for an important speech.I knew I could buy a new pair when I landed. Too late; the stores were already closed. What about in the morning? No, the next day was Sunday and my speech was scheduled for 9:00 a.m. Ninety seconds later, however, my cold sweat has been replaced with a single idea.The next morning, I began my speech, “You might be wondering why I am wearing running shoes today. Well, its about this request here. When Im done speaking, Ill be running door to door and I want every one of you to come running with me, too.” My little “goof-up” became a clever demonstration(示范) of action speaking louder than words.My shoe lesson number two.My brother was getting married. We had just witnessed the signing of the papers at their house, and they were rushing over to another place for the ceremony. As we locked up their house, my wifes shoes broke. So off to the nearest shoe store we flew. We knew they would wait for us before starting the ceremony. What we did not know was how long they would wait.That day, my wife performed a miracle(奇迹) that no other woman had done before or since. She went into the store and came out just five minutes later with the perfect pair of shoes.Perhaps the most important lesson here is that, contrary/opposite to popular belief, the shoe does not make the man/woman.

D Men are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity (名人) chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver,according to a report from Oxford University. The effect of the celebrity role models,who have given cooking a more manly picture,has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961. According to the research by Prof.Jonatahn Gershuny,who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford,men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking,up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961. Prof.Gershuny said,“The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend.There has been 40 years of sexual equality,but there is another 40 years probably to come.” Women,who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking,now spend just one hour and seven minutesa great fall,but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men. Some experts have named these men in aprons as “Gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”,who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay,Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall,Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd. “I was married in 1974.When my father came to visit me a few weeks later,I was wearing an apron when I opened the door. He laughed,” said Prof.Gershuny. “That would never happen now.” Two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week,even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table.Prof.Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a tablewith many “family meals” in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room,and shared by family members. “The family meal has changed a lot,and few of us eatas I did when I was a childat least two meals a day together as a family. But it has survived in a different format.”12.What is one reason behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before?A.The development of sexual equality campaign.B.The influence of popular female chefs.C.The change of females view on cooking.D.The improvement of cooks status.13.What does the author think about the time men and women spend on cooking?A.Men spend more time cooking than women nowadays.B.It will take 40 years before men spend more time at the stove than women.C.Women spend much less time on cooking than before.D.There is a sharp decline in the time men spend on cooking compared with 1961.14.How did Prof. Gershuny see the family meal according to the passage?A.It has become a thing of the past.B.It is very different from what it used to be.C.It shouldnt be advocated in modern times.D.It is beneficial to the stability of the family.15.Which is the best title for the passage?A.The Changes of Family MealsB.Equality between Men and WomenC.Cookinga Thing of the Past for WomenD.Cooking into a New Trend for Men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。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Fight Laziness?Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.16._.Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation(动力)once they arrive at home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.Another way to fight laziness is to change our mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.17._.Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations (诱惑)that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness.18._.Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.19._. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others at home may finally follow your example and perform their own tasks. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.20._. Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.A. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.C. To fight family laziness, set an example.D. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.E. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.F. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.G. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.第二部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 (共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A mother and daughter living in my community are two of the most unfriendly people I have ever come across in my life.
