I chopped it down and

A Magical Experience
One hot August afternoon, Deena Hoagland and her son Joe sat on a floating platform at
Dolphins Plus, a marine（海洋）center near their home in Florida. Nearby, a large, powerful,
six-hundred-pound dolphin circled to study the mother and her child. Suddenly, it splashed the
Hoaglands with water. That is when something amazing happened. Three-year-old Joe Hoagland
smiled. Sitting with Joe on her lap, Deena smiled, too, as her heart leapt with joy. It was the first sign
of hope she had seen in Joe since his stroke（中风）six weeks earlier.
Joe Hoagland was born with a rare heart condition that had forced him to spend much of his
first three years of life in hospitals. After a series of open-heart surgeries, Joe seemed to be doing
better, but the last surgery on his heart resulted in a stroke, which left him unable to move one side
and to see out of one eye.
Worse still, the spirit of the child, who had bravely battled his illness until then was seemingly
-8-
网址：www.longwenedu.com
broken. Afraid of his doctors and unwilling to participate in efforts at physical therapy（治疗）, Joe
grew listless, losing interest even in his favorite toys.
Having heard of a new therapeutic approach termed “dolphin-assisted therapy,” Decna phoned
Dolphins Plus and asked permission to bring her son along. There Joe met met Fonzie, the playful
dolphin. With each passing visit, Joe seemed to make more progress. Before long, he was regaining
some movement on his left side. Dolphins Plus trainers urged Joe to get into the water and swim
with his new friend. Joe, however, was reluctant. Gradually, though, Joe became more comfortable
with the large dolphin, and by mid-September, Joe was swimming with his friends.
Over the next two years, Joe fully recovered from the paralysis and partial blindness that his
doctors thought irreversible. Now a healthy, active teenager, Joe lives a life similar to any of his
friends. He visits and swims frequently with his friend Fonzie and helps his parent with Island
Dolphin Care. Deena started Island Dolphin Care to work with Dolphins Plus to share the benefits of
dolphin therapy with other special-needs children and their parents.
60．Dcena Hoagland smiled when Fonzie splashed Joe with water because
A．the dolphin’s action is amazing
B．Joe’s reaction brought her hope
C．she was affected by Joe’s joy
D．she realized Joe recovered
61．Paragraph 2-4 are written to
.
A．expose the dangers of strokes
B．identify the problems Joe faced
C．describe Joe’s recovery from beginning to end
D．show readers the process of “dolphin-assisted therapy”
62．What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 3?
A．angry and inflexible
B．more mature and silent
C．lacking energy and concern
D．cautious and shy
63．We may conclude from the passage that
.
A．dolphin therapy has helped many children to improve their lives
B．Joe recovered faster because of his desire to live with Fonzie
C．doctors’ mistake during his surgeries brought Joe great pain
D．his mother’s company contributes greatly to Joe’s recovery

It was a lovely day and Stella was enjoying the sunshine with her two children when a young
boy approached her son and pushed him to the ground.
“I’d watched him for a little while and my son was the fifth child he’d shoved,” she says. “I
went over to them, picked up my son, turned to the boy and said, firmly, ‘No, we don’t push”. What
happened next was unexpected. “The boy’s mother ran toward me,” Stella says, “I thought she was
coming over to apologize, but instead she started shouting at me for disciplining her child. Was I
supposed to sit back while her kid did whatever he wanted, hurting other children in the process?”
Getting your own children to play nice is difficult enough. Dealing with other people’s children
has become a minefield.
“Kids aren’t all raised the same,” agrees Professor Naomi White of Monash University. “But
there is still an idea that they’re the possessions of the parents. We see our children as an extension
of ourselves, so if you’re saying that my child is behaving inappropriately, then that’s somehow a
criticism（批评）of me.”
In those circumstances, it’s difficult to know whether to approach the child directly or the
parent first. There are two schools of thought.
“I’d go to the child first,” says Andrew Fuller, author of Tricky Kids. Usually a quiet reminder
that ‘we don’t do that here’ is enough. Kids have finely tuned antennae（直觉）for how to behave in
different setting. ” He points out bringing it up with the parent first may make them feel overlooked,
which could caused problems. Of course, approaching the child first can bring its own headaches,
too. This is why White recommends that you approach the parents first. “Raise your concerns with
the parents if they’re there and ask them to deal with it.,” she says.
Asked how to approach a parent in this situation, psychologist Meredith Fuller answers
“Explain your needs as well as stressing the importance of the friendship. Begin your remarks with
something like ‘I know you’ll think I’m silly but in my house I don’t want…’” He doesn’t believe
that we should be afraid of dealing with other people’s kids. “Look at kids that aren’t your own as a
potential minefield,” he says. He recommends that we don’t stay silent over inappropriate behavior,
particularly with regular visitors.
64．What did Stella do after the young boy pushed her son to the ground?
A．She made an apology to his mother.
B．She took her own boy away angrily.
- 10 -
网址：www.longwenedu.com
C．She shouted to the boy to discipline him.
D． She told him his behavior was unacceptable.
65．What does the author say about dealing with other people’s children?
A．It’s important not to hurt them in any way.
B．It’s no use trying to stop their wrongdoing.
C．It’s advisable to treat them as one’s own kids.
D．It’s possible for one to get into lots of trouble.
66．According to professor Naomi White, what will the parents probably do when other people
find fault with their kids?
A．They will feel hurt as well.
B．They will scold their kids.
C．They will lose control of themselves.
D．They will defend their child successfully.
67．According to Andre Fuller, what should one do when seeing other people’s kids misbehave?
A．Express dissatisfaction to their parents politely.
B．Make comments on inappropriate behavior.
C．Talk to the kids directly in a mild way.
D．Stress the importance of friendship.

All consumer problems solved
One of these days, I will call up the courage to telephone my broadband service provider to find
out why I am unable to read my office e-mail from home. I am not looking forward to it; my last call
was answered by someone who clearly could not wait to get rid of me.
Why is everything so difficult? We can now buy a huge range of electronic products at
ever-lower prices. We can compare prices online and have goods delivered to our door. And we can
do all that in the certain knowledge that what arrives will not work.
At least I know I am not alone in these problems. James Womack and Daniel Jones in the
Harvard Business Review ask: “Why does consumption—which should be easy and
satisfying—require so much time and energy?”
The answer to all these problems, they say, is lean consumption（精益消费）. Their idea is an
- 11 -
网址：www.longwenedu.com
extension of lean production, as first practiced by Toyota. Workers who saw faults occurring could
stop the assembly line (生产线)to ensure they were corrected and this solves the faults permanently.
They argue that the same principles can be applied to solve consumers’ problems today.
How would it work? Take help lines, for example. At present, they try to solve problems after
they have occurred. They do not do it very well, either. Help line workers are rewarded for their
“efficiency”, in other words how many callers they deal with – which is why they are so eager to
move on to the next one. Help lines should do more that help people with problems, the writers say.
The help line staff should use the calls to identify common problems, which can then be solved –
equal to the stopping of the Toyota line.
“This same concept can be applied to the process of consumption, ”the writers say. “For
example, why can’t a single provider solve a customer’s problems by evaluating his specific needs
and then determining the best equipment, software and services? The provider could then obtain, fix,
take care of, upgrade and replace the required articles for a standard fee.”
The method the writers are recommending could improve the processes, get rid of problems and
lower the cost of consumption. Let us hope it happens soon.
68．The author doesn’t want to call his broadband service provider because
A．it will take a long time
B．he doesn’t expect them to be helpful
C．it will be difficult to explain the problem
D．he is afraid to be looked down upon
69．How did Toyota deal with faults in the producing process?
A．Faults were dealt with after accidents.
B．The assembly line was shut down more and more often.
C．Problems were identified and corrected during the process.
D．Workers were required to find fault with each other’s performances.
70．Which of the following actions can be called “lean consumption”?
A．Providers try to save the consumers’ time and trouble.
B．Producers correct and solve faults during the production.
C．Producers serve their customers for a standard fee.
D．Providers set up a help line to give advice to customers.

A．increase the number of help lines
B．make life easier for consumers
C．result in consumers paying more fees

Fear can be fun. Many young people queue up to ride very fast and scary roller coasters（过山
车）screaming but enjoying themselves. Other people like to read “goose bumps （鸡皮疙瘩）”
books or watch horror movies at night, scared to death but feeling excited. Why do people like being
scared?
Fear is an ancient way of surviving. Being scared makes animals, including humans escape
from danger and save themselves. It is because of fear that we have lived through millions of years
of evolution. Those who lacked a strong fear response were more likely to be killed, leaving the
more fearful and careful to pass their genes onto the next generation.
How do scientists explain why shaking over such scary things is fun? “Some kids will go to a
scary movie and love it and laugh over it, others will feel anxious and hide their faces and some
won't even set foot in the cinema," said Ned Kalin, a US scientist. "Which kind of person you are
depends partly on experiences you've had and partly on your genes."
What happens in the brain when something frightens you? Nerves that begin at the eyes and
ears lead to a part of the brain called the amygdala. When you suddenly see a snake, for example, the
amygdala makes you freeze, perspire, have a quickened heartbeat, or run very fast. However, seeing
the snake also uses another part of the brain, the cortex. It analyzes the situation, and if it finds that
the snake is only made of rubber it tells your heart and the rest of your body to calm down. Think of
2
the amygdala as the engine and the cortex as the brake.
0
Back to the first question: Why do some people
0 like to make themselves scared? One reason is
9
that we can play games with fear, find ways to reduce
the scariness by looking away or thinking of
0
something else," Kalin said. "To believe we have
5 control over a situation gives us a feeling of
power.” “Scary movies or novels are good practice0to prepare young people for the real thing. Thrills
8
such as roller coaster rides also go to the brain's pleasure centre.”

One possible version:
Recently there has been a heated discussion in our class about whether we should use
traditional characters instead of simplified characters.
Opinions are divided into two groups. Some students think traditional characters should be used
in our daily life because it will help us know more about the origin of Chinese culture. They also

think traditional characters were created according to a strict set of rules, so they look more
beautiful.
However, the others hold different opinions. They think traditional characters are difficult to
learn and write, which brings inconvenience to people. More importantly, they believe it will be a
barrier to promoting Chinese culture to the world.
In my opinion, people have been used to simplified characters. It will not be a good idea to
change them into a more complicated form. But people should learn more about traditional
characters and be able to recognize them in some particular occasions.
第二节 开放作文（15 分）
One possible version:
In the picture we can see a family in a car, The mother and the father are trying to drive it in
opposite directions with their child sitting between them, looking rather confused.
It reminds me of a common phenomenon in some families. When there are some decisions for
the family to make, the parents hold different opinions and turn a deaf ear to each other, not to
mention the child’s ideas. For example, when it comes to what their child should major in at
university, they will have a heated argument regardless of the child’s intention.
I think parents should try to improve their communication and take their children’s opinions
into consideration so as to reach an agreement.
