It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor of the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University（SMU）in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldnt afford the operation because her family was poor.Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas. She was cleaning out the attic（阁楼）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript（手稿）. On its top page were the words, “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Gainestown boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henrys.My father then set out to sell it. Eventfully, he found himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loves the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about. But I doubt if it could have been better than his own story.5. Who found the O. Henrys manuscript?A. The girls mother. B. The authors father. C. The girl. D. The author.6.Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic?A. O. Henry once worked in Houston. B. O. Henry once stayed in Galveston.C. O. Henry once moved to Des Moines. D. O. Henry once taught at SMU.7.The underlined word “authenticated” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. named B. treated C. proved D. described8.According to the text, why did the authors father go to Des Moines?A. To sell the O. Henry story. B. To meet the author himself.C. To talk with the O. Henry expert. D. To give money to the girl.CIn ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics (策略).One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores, the womens shoe section is generally next to the womens cosmetics(化妆品) section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later. Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up. When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.9. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A. To save customers times. B. To show they are high quality foods.C. To sell them at discount prices D. To help sell junk food.10. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?A. Opening the store early in the morning.B. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread C. Inviting customers to play music.D. Displaying British wines next to French ones.11. What is the California builders story intended to prove?A. A good first impression increases salesB. The more expensive the house is, the better it sells.C. An ocean view is much to the customers taste.D. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.12. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show dishonest business practices.B. To report researches on customer behavior.C. To introduces how businesses have grown from the past.D. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.DWarm weather brought by El Niño has had mixed effects on animals in usually snowy places in North America, including New England, according to an Associated Press article.Some animals seem to benefit from having a chance to gather more food before winter, and from expending less energy in daily survival mode. Others, like snowshoe hares(雪鞋野兔), are put at center stage in predators(捕食者) view when they lack snow for disguising their white fur not a good thing for them, of course.Black bears, on the other hand, have been keeping busy gathering nuts and apples, when they would normally have settled into their winter homes by now. Vermont and Massachusetts officials have asked residents to wait till snow falls to take out their bird feeders for the sake of their safety, the article said."We suggest waiting for 6 or more inches of snow that lasts before taking out your bird feeders, especially if you have been visited in the past by bears or if there are sightings of bears in your neighborhood," Forrest Hammond, Vermont Fish and Wildlifes bear biologist, said in the article. "Due to lack of snow and frozen ground, birds are able to seek food in fields and forests for their natural foods."Snow amounts can also determine how comfortable bears are and how quickly they consume their accumulated fat during hibernation(冬眠), noted Hammond in the article. This is because snow covers and traps them in their winter homes, and also hides them from predators.13What may upset snowshoe hares because of El Niño?A. Their being caught more easily. B. Their failing to gather more food.C. Their consuming more energy.D. Their losing sight of their enemies.14Why did the officials ask people to keep bird feeders until snow falls?A. They may disturb bears.B. Theres no need to do so.C. To avoid attracting bears.D. For the safety of bears.15Which of the following is the proper title for the passage?A. Warm Weather Helps Animals SurviveB. Lack of Snow Affects North American AnimalsC. Measures Should Be Taken to Protect WildlifeD. Snow Amounts Determine Animals Winter Life 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。Bedtime problems improve kids math performance. If a school childs parents replace a bedtime story with a math discussion, the childs math skills may improve markedly, a new study shows.16"I think its a fantastic study," says James Stigler, an educational psychologist at the University of California.17Some parents think that to help their children develop academically they should read to them. Some parents understand that a little bedtime math is helpful.18The experiment was made by Beilock, psychologist Susan Levine, and some colleagues at the University of Chicago. Four hundred and twenty families were told to let the children use an app called Bedtime Math. Another 167 families were instructed to use a reading app. With a standardized test, the researchers assessed all the subjects math performance at the beginning and end of the school year.Not surprisingly, the use of the reading app made little difference to the childrens math performance.19Children who used Bedtime Math two or more times per week did better than those whose family rarely used it.Why the technique was so effective remains to be determined.20A. Educational experts generally applaud the new work.B. But Beilock says she thinks the key is talking to your child about math.C. In contrast, a little bedtime math had a significant effect.D. Some parents think that its good to do nothing before going to bed.E. To evaluate the effects of a little bedtime math, they made an experiment.F. No one thinks it has any significant effect except the educational psychologists.G. As for this, opinions vary from parents to parents.第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（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四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 。  My father brought home a sailboat when I was ten, and almost each Sunday in summers we would go sailing.
