In real life, however, this is not always possible. The poem “Those Winter Sundays” by

12、Robert Hayden expresses the speakers regret over the way the speaker, when he was young, _25_ (treat) his father. It is only when he looks back on how he has grown up _26_ he begins to understand his fathers unselfish love.In remembering the small things his father did _27_ him and his family, such

13、as lighting a fire in the morning and polishing his shoes, the speaker begins to understand an aspect of parental love that escaped _28_ notice in the past.As he recalls how his father warmed the house, the speakers coldness toward his father starts to melt away. In its place is love and gratitude.

14、It dawns on him that love is not just hugging and kissing, or always warm and affectionate, but _29_ well be cold and stern in appearance. In fact, mature love often requires self-discipline and self-sacrifice.During our stressful teen years, we may find that our parents, especially our fathers, hav

15、e difficulty_30_ (show) their love for us verbally sometimes when we need it most. This is certainly very discouraging. However, if we remember _31_ (be) grateful or not so self-centered, we will see that their love has always been there, only _32_ (express) in ways different from what we may have e

16、xpected.(B)Once upon a time, a boy was walking through a large woods _33_ he found a big blackboard hanging on an old tree trunk. It came complete with a box of chalk pieces, and bright sparks were flying from the tips of every piece of chalk. The boy took a piece of chalk and started to draw on the

17、 blackboard: first a tree, then a rabbit, and then a flower Magically, whenever he finished a figure, it came to life and jumped out of the blackboard. Before long, the place became a wonderfully green and fertile forest, full of animals playing happily._34_ (excite), the boy also drew his parents a

18、nd brothers and sisters enjoying a picnic, with their sandwiches and cold meats. He also drew the paper plates and the empty tins of sardines（沙丁鱼） left on the ground, _35 _ always happened on their picnics. But when these bits of litter came to life, _ 36_ awful happened: around every paper plate an

19、d every empty tin, the forest turned grey, and this greyness started spreading quickly everywhere: to the grass, to the flowers, to the animals The boy realized the litter was _ 37_ (blame) for all the greyness, so he ran through the forest with the blackboard rubber in his hand to rub it out wherev

20、er it landed. He was quick and lucky, and didnt leave a single piece of litter. The forest and its animals managed to recover, and they played together for the rest of the day. The boy never again saw that blackboard, but now, every time he goes to the countryside with his family, he _38_ remember t

21、hat adventure and is the first _39 _ (pick) up any litter. And he is sure to remind the others that anything _40_ (leave) in the woods can do more damage to the environment than they ever would have expected.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word

22、 can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. allowB. makeC. physicallyD. approachE. dragF. angle G. stillH. equallyI. balance J. position K. efficientlyWe need more men in our hospital, not as doctors, but as nurses. Over the last few years, I have found that having male

23、 nurses is a real bonus, and they definitely have a place in our hospital. There are several reasons for wanting male nurses here, not only because half the population in our country is male. Men _41_ excellent carers and are _42_ good at taking care of others. In fact, many men take good care of th

24、eir children, wives, parents, sisters, brothers, and even their nieces and nephews. Another reason that men can become great nurses is that in general, men are _43_ stronger than women. Male nurses can help _44_ heavy objects, or if, for example, a patient cannot move from the waist down, male nurse

25、s can help move the patient into a comfortable _45_. Also, male nurses can be a great help in keeping patients _46_ while they receive painful treatment, such as when bandages covering wounds are changed. Another advantage to having male nurses is that they see things from a different _47_ from wome

26、n and bring a male way of thinking to problem-solving. This allows the hospital to work more effectively than if we only _48_ problems one way. Having a mix of male and female nurses also helps create a fun atmosphere, which helps patients recover faster. Currently, only 7 percent of our nursing sta

27、ff are men; this number is far too low, and the problem requires correction. Having more male nurses will help create a positive _49_ between male and female staff, and it will _50_ patients the choice of a male or female carer. I am determined to take on more male nurses here at Central Hospital. I

28、 will be organizing an open day soon to allow interested young men to visit our hospital and find out more about nursing. Hopefully, we will have more male nurses in our hospital soon! III. Reading Comprehension Section A （15分）Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words

29、or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Many of us have characteristics that are inherited from our families. Maybe we have our fathers eyes or our grandmothers hair color _51_ features that result from the genes we inherit. But there ar

30、e other elements of our personalities such as behaviors and viewpoints that we pick up by _52_ our parents. Perhaps we have picked up our mothers love of cleaning or our dads sense of humor. Now, researchers at the University of Michigan believe there may be a specific viewpoint we can thank our par

31、ents for: the way we _53_ work. The researchers referred to previous studies that identified three main ways of viewing work.First, there are job-oriented (以求职为目的的)people, those who _54_ to see their job as simply a way to make money. They _55_ to clocking out（打卡下班）every day and pursuing fun activities _56_ the office. If you have a job-oriented father, you may view work this way. _57_, if you grew up close to your
