11、 person who thinks about you? Youre not alone. Everyone has received an unwanted gift at least once in his or her life. That doesnt mean the item is bad or useless. It simply means that it doesnt work for you.If you find yourself with something nice but that doesnt fit into your lifestyle, consider

12、regifting it. Before you do that, make sure you understand the manners of this practice that is more and more common as people find it difficult to make ends meet to a great extent.There are specific things you should do to an item. Failure to do any of them may create an awkward situation. You neve

13、r have to lie about what you are doing, but you dont want to be in the position of having to explain anything. For example, remove the original wrapping paper and rewrap it in your own; make sure the box is in good condition so the item doesnt appear used; check the item and make sure there are no c

14、ards or names on the packaging; inspect the item and make sure it is in excellent condition.When you get ready for regifting, consider having a white elephant gift exchange for your next celebration. This removes all the embarrassment of being caught regifting because thats the whole purpose of the

15、event.

18、rted that climate change might actually be helping ancient trees thrive(长得健壮). Now there seems to be more positive newsthis time about the coral in our oceans whose population has been severely affected in last few decades by rising temperatures, disease and human carelessness.Coral reefs as you pro

19、bably know are not just colorful calcium carbonate(钙碳酸盐)structures that provide shelter to a wonderful number of fish, but also a close relationship or partnership between coral polyps(珊瑚虫) and single celled living things called zooxanthellae(虫黄藻). The coral polyps give the zooxanthellae a home and

20、in return the later provide the coral polyps with their vivid color and food. They support each other in a fantastic balance, one that is getting severely damaged by the rising temperatures which are causing the coral polyps to reject their zooxanthellae friends, removing their color and food source

21、.Scientists estimate the phenomenon of rising temperatures combined with disease has destroyed the coral reef population by more than 80%. It is therefore no wonder that scientists all over the world are looking for solutions to try to restore this all important link to sea life. However, while huma

22、n efforts like planting the coral again have been somewhat successful, they are not enough to replace all the coral that has been dying due to climate change. That is probably why reports by various researchers about certain types of coral being able to not only survive the changing ocean conditions

23、, but also thrive in it, are being met with such enthusiasm. The most recent findings show that despite higher temperatures the coral reefs seem to be thriving.These findings are consistent with the lab research conducted by the scientists who tried growing different varieties of coral in waters wit

24、h higher temperature to see how they would react. They were surprised to discover that most of them survived and some seemed to adapt and grow normally. Encouraged by these and other similar findings, more energetic species have been introduced to see if coral reefs can be restored to their former g

25、lory. A program is busy analyzing the worlds oceans to find more varieties that can be used for this same purposeHowever, we are not out of the woods yet! Scientists are still not sure how they would introduce these varieties to areas where they are not abundant and more importantly what the consequ

26、ences would be on the surrounding sea life. Hopefully, the combination of new scientific research and fewer human mistakes will allow our beautiful coral to thrive again!1、Which word can be used to complete the following relationship?Coral reefs are a bridge between coral polyps and zooxanthellae.Co

Yet it dwells in my memory that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that I shall never forget.On a

30、winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old ladys house. As a result, the stone headed straight for a small window. We knew we were in trouble. We ran faster off her roof.I was too scared about getting caught to be concerned about the old lady with the broken windo

31、w in winter. However, a few days later, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably.I made up my mind to save my paper delivery money. In three weeks I had the seven dollars and put the

32、 money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it. After that, I walked up to the old ladys house secretly, and put the letter I didnt sign through the letter hole. My soul felt relieved and I

33、could have the freedom of, once again, looking straight into the old ladys kind eyes.The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and she thanked me for the paper, giving me a bag of cookies she had made herself. I thanked her and continued to eat the cookies while walking.After several cookies, I

36、d.24（8分）Exactly five years ago, on New Years Eve, I was invited to a childrens ball by a man high up in the business world, who had his connections, his circle of acquaintances, and his close friends. So it seemed as though the childrens ball was merely an excuse for the parents to come together and

37、 discuss matters of interest to themselves, quite innocently and casually.I was an outsider, and, as I had no special matters to air, I was able to spend the evening independently of the others. There was another gentleman present who like me had just stumbled upon (偶然发现) this affair of domestic hap

38、piness. He was the first to attract my attention. His appearance was not that of a man of noble birth. He was tall, rather thin, very serious, and well dressed. Obviously he had no heart for the family celebration. The instant he went off into a corner by himself the smile disappeared from his face,

39、 and his thick dark brows knitted into a frown(皱眉). He knew no one except the host and showed every sign of being bored to death, though bravely keeping the role of thorough enjoyment to the end. Later I learned that he was a provincial, had come to the capital on some important business, had brough

40、t a letter of recommendation to our host, and our host had taken him under his protection, not at all with love. It was merely out of politeness that he had invited him to the childrens ball.They did not play cards with him. They did not offer him cigars. No one entered into conversation with him. P

41、ossibly they recognized the bird by its feathers from a distance. Thus, my gentleman, not knowing what to do with his hands, was compelled(迫使) to spend the evening stroking (抚摸) his whiskers(胡须). His whiskers were really fine, but he stroked them so eagerly that one got the feeling that the whiskers

42、 had come into the world first and afterwards the man in order to stroke them.1、According to the author, the real purpose of the children ball was that _.Athe parents wanted to make their children happyBthe parents had a chance to meet and socializeCthe host hoped to make the guests happyDthe host w

43、anted to give a welcome to an important guest2、The gentleman was unhappy because _.Ahe was one of the poor relatives of the hostBhe was from the countrysideChe was trying to do some business with the hostDhe was not really welcome in the ball3、The gentleman touched his whiskers eagerly just because

44、_.Ahe liked his whiskers very much Bhe had the habit of doing soChe was embarrassed in the ball Dhe felt uneasy wearing whiskers4、When the author was telling the story, he was _.Ahumorous BseriousCjoking Ddoubtful25（10分）The key to getting people to work together effectively could be giving them the

45、freedom to choose their collaborators (合作者) and the comfort of working with established contacts, new research suggests.In the study, David Melamed, an assistant professor of sociology at the Ohio State University and lead author of the study, and his co-authors found participants through the Amazon

46、 Mechanical Turk website a service that allows researchers to hire people from around the world for a variety of purposes. For this study, all participants were from the United States.Those who agreed to participate played online games in which each player started out with 1,000 monetary units that

47、translated to $1 in real money they could pocket. If one player agreed to pay another player 50 monetary units, that second person would actually acquire 100 units. Each of the 16-round games included about 25 participants, some of whom participated in multiple games. In all, 810 people participated

48、 in the research.Some of the games included random networks, where certain people could interact. Others included clustered (群集的) networks, in which a small group had multiple connections an arrangement that was designed to mimic (模拟) real life, where humans often run their lives in packs. And the n

49、etworks were either static (静态的) or dynamic (动态的). In static networks, a player could interact only with the appointed partners. In dynamic networks, participants could cut their ties with another player and form new connections. Furthermore, some of the games included reputation information. Partic

50、ipants were labeled based on their history of willingness to share money. The idea was to test whether those known to collaborate were favored by other players based on reputation a factor shown in previous research to play a significant role in whether a person is likely to partner with another.Mel

51、amed and his research partners were surprised to find that whether people are likely to partner with others had nothing to do with reputation in this study. The findings might have departed from previous studies because of the difference in size and study design, he said, explaining that much of the

52、 previous work in this area was conducted in groups of 100 or fewer and mostly involved student subjects. The Turk network used for the new study has been shown to be representative of the U.S. population in terms of age, race and other factors and the introduced players had no previous connections.

53、Cooperation rates overall were high and highest when the participants were cooperating in clusters and had the ability to drop a partner in favor of another. “What really seems to matter is the ability to change the structure of a network,” Melamed said. “And the patterns of relationships also made

54、a difference. Those in a known cluster with multiple connections cooperated more.”1、What did David Melamed and his partners do for their study?AThey hired 810 people globally.BThey gave each participant $1,000.CThey designed 16-round online games.DThey asked each participant to take part in only one

55、 game.2、Compared with previous research, the new study found that _.Areputation played no role in cooperationBstudent subjects were more likely to partner with othersCplayers having connections before were more cooperativeDcooperation rates were influenced by age, race and other factors3、It can be i

56、nferred that the purpose of the study led by David Melamed is to discover _.Ahow to change the patterns of relationshipsBwhat leads people to collaborate most willinglyCwhat kind of person is the most popular in a teamDwhether its proper to drop a partner in favor of another第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.
