counter, but only one staff person was there to take care of the customers. some customers ordered quite an amount of fish for that staff person to work on. at last i was the second in line. all i wanted was a couple of crabs and should get out of there in no time.noticing it was very busy at the fish counter, another staff person came over to help. i was ready to be served, but the staff person went to the end of the line and began to help a couple of ladies with snail (蜗牛). the customers in front of me, being served, turned around and looked at me sympathetically and the customer behind me called to the staff person, “you should start here,” pointing at me. he was, well, ignored.if someone asked me, “what is the most important rule to follow in america?” i would reply without hesitation. “wait your turn at all times.” wherever you go here in this country, you will find people waiting in a line quietly to get anything: whether in the supermarkets, department stores, bus stops, or gas stations, its just a matter of waiting your turn. in a larger sense, “wait your turn” is more than just a guideline it is a very basic rule that reflects the fundamental value of the western cultures. but in some situations your turn does not always come based on when you get there and how long you have waited in line, just like my case at the store. even though this did not often happen, it did make me feel upset.21. what happened to the author at the store?a. he was ill-treated by a customer.b. he wasnt served upon his order.c. he was asked to be served later. d. he was asked to do others a favor.22. what does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?a. his belief. b. his culture. c. his experience. d. his rule.23. why did the author write the text?a. to emphasize his kindness to others. b. to introduce some western cultures to us.c. to express his belief and his feeling.d. to show his disbelief in queuing rule.b装订线the stories we share with one another are important. they show wisdom and provide inspiration. they are important to our development. but sometimes people choose not to tell.consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: people are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of ebola.there is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. bobette buster said it was like this, “the fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. when they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”there are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share, and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secretespecially those that embarrass someone else.most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. and the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.honesty and openness is important. it proves we are trustworthy. it displays we are human. we are not perfect or better. it highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. but with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? no, of course not. there is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.24. whats the function of the example in paragraph 2?a. it reflects that people are concerned about the spread of ebola.b. it shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.c. it concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.d. it proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.25. one of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _.a. story-sharing highlights the importance of hard work姓名班级装订线考号b. people sometimes have no courage to share their storiesc. people are used to exposing their weaknessesd. some stories make people feel sad26. which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in paragraph 3?a. unfolded b. broken c. freed d. untouched27. the writer aims to convince us to _.a. share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselvesb. be open to people close to you by sharing some secretsc. remove the dangers that can be caused by untold storiesd. realize the importance of being honest when making friendsc sometimes，you just cant help it; maybe youre watching a sad movie, or thinking about the friend who moved away. next thing you know, you feel pressure in your throat, your eyes are watering, and you have tears running down your cheeks. according to ad vingerhoet, a professor of psychology at tilburg university，in the netherlands, who is one of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying, there are three types of tears. basal tears are the first type. they act as a protective barrier between the eyes and the rest of the world . next are reflex tears. they wash your eyes clean when something gets in them. finally，there are emotional tears. “these are released in response to emotional states,” explains vingerhoets. scientists believe crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other. “humans are very complex social creatures,” says lauren bylsma，a professor at the university of pittsburgh, in pennsylvania. “it seems that tears serve to arouse help and support from others”, she says.vingerhoets agrees. “i think that the reason why humans shed tears has something to do with our childhood,” he says, “thats the time when we are still dependent on adults for love and protection and care. the major advantage of emotional tears is that you can target them at a specific person.” vingerhoets says this ability could have come in handy in prehistoric times, when humans were living among dangerous animals. tears were a safer way to get attention. “in this case, it is better to use a silent signal to ask for help. ”he says. vingerhoets and byhma do frequent studies to better understand why humans cry. according to byhma, there is still much more to discover. “its surprising, ” she says，“how much we still dont know.”28. in the scientists opinion, crying is _ . .a. a means of relying on each other b. a result of human kindnessc. a cause of personal growthd. a sign of human weakness29. the underlined phrase “ this ability ” in paragraph 4 refers to the ability to _ . .a. seek help wiselyb. aim tears at someonec. cry emotionallyd. appeal to other people30. from the passage, we learn that ad vingerhoets and lauren bylsma _ . .a. hold different opinions about the causes of tears b. have learned enough about tearsc. are working together to study tearsd. think positively of the effects of tears31. what can be a suitable title for the passage?a. the types of tears b. the components of tearsc. the opinions about tears d. the science of tears das the days get shorter and the chilly weather rolls in, we all want to curl up in a blanket and hibernate until spring rolls around. but making time to get outside in the sun, even when its cold out, could have bigger mood benefits than you might realize.while the link betweensunshine and mental healthis nothing new, new research from brigham young university (byu) has shown that the association may be even stronger than previously realized. it finds that sunlight exposure is by far the greatest weather-related factor determining mental health outcomes. in other words: more sunshine, more happiness.for the study, a psychologist, a physicist and a statistician from byu teamed up to compare daily environmental data from the universitys physics and astronomy weather station with emotional health data archived by day for 16,452 adult therapy patients who were being treated at the byu counseling and psychological services center.exposure to sunlight is a significant factor in seasonal affective disorder. researchhas shownthat the brain produces more of the feel-good neurotransmitter serotonin on sunny days than it does on darker days. whats more, lack of sunlight is linked withlower vitamin d levels, which in turn has been correlated (相关) with depression and low energy. if youre getting enough sun, your emotions should remain relatively stable, the researchers found. but as the amount of sunlight in the day is reduced, levels of emotional pain can soar. other weather variables including temperature, pollution and rain were not found to have an impact on mental health.“we were surprised that many of the weather and pollution variables we included in the study were not significantly correlated with clients scores on the distress measure once we had accounted for sun time ,” dr. mark beecher, a professor of psychology at the university and the studys lead author, told the huffington post. “people tend to associate rainy days, pollution, and other meteorological phenomena with sadness or depression, but we did not find that.”32. what does the author suggest we do in paragraph 1?a. realize the benefits of sunshine b. avoid hibernating in springtimec. enjoy sun shine even in cold weather d. curl up in a blanket in cold weather33. the underlined word “soar” in paragraph 5 most probably means?a. vary unstably b. rise sharply c. drop slightlyd. change greatly34. what does the passage say about the research done by byu?a. it is done on normal adults of various agesb. it is carried out by dr. mark beecher alonec. it finds that temperature affects mental healthd. it concludes the sunshine means happiness 35. what can be inferred from the passage?a. lower vitamin d levels are helpful in keeping us energeticb. the more sunshine we get, the less excited we are likely to feel c. the research findings are inconsistent with the popular beliefd. the link between sunshine and mental health was unknown before.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。“ the calm before the storm” is a very familiar expression. it is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument. 36 they noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become calm and the winds would drop.but why is it often so calm before a storm? 37 according to us website howstuff works, a calm period occurs because many storms, tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and damp air from the surrounding area. as this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as fuel for the storm, like petrol in a car .once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. 38 so once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm.39 first count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. a good judgment is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.however, due to the complexity of storm system, calm doesnt always go first. so, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. 40 装订线a. british sailors created the phrase in the late 1600s. b. there is no definite answer to the question.c. weather reports sometimes cannot be trusted. d. science has given us the answer.e. as the air declines, it becomes warm and dry, which is stable.f. thats the most reliable way to predict the next display of natures temper.g. the weather network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is.第三部分 完型填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）after my husbands chinese
