11、ted to Rochdale infirmary（養老院）. Carpenter, 84, lives alone, but she is increasingly unsteady on her feet, and if she falls, she hasnt the strength to get up again. Previously, a call to 111 would call nursing staff who could put her back into a chair, but it was increasingly clear she wasnt coping,

12、and needed more support.This isnt like any old hospital, however. Today Carpenter isnt in bed but sitting in a chair, dressed in her own clothes, a fat Dan Brown book in front of her. “You dont feel like youre in hospital,” she says.Two side rooms have been furnished with small groups of tables and

13、chairs, with bright tablecloths. Those patients who are able can help themselves to food at mealtimes and sit with others to eat, or go to the library to select another turner. A physiotherapist helps Carpenter with her painful back, and is working to help improve her confidence on stairs.Previously

14、, an elderly person in Carpenters condition would most likely have ended up in an acute hospital ward(病房).There, very frequently, people of her age would get stuck, and many would go downhill fast.“They come into hospital, and our model in the NHS is to put them to bed,” says Steve Taylor, the divis

15、ional director for community services. “Put your pyjamas on, you stay in that bed, we will feed you and toilet you.”Shockingly quickly, he says, patients can lose what abilities they previously had. “And then, when it comes time to discharge you, you can no longer walk.”This is probably the biggest

16、challenge facing the NHS the problem of an older population, the long years of illness that many of us will face and a fragile social care system underpinning it all.1、Whats the main idea of the first paragraph?ACarpenter often falls at home.BNo one looks after Carpenter.CThere is something wrong wi

17、th Carpenters legs.DCarpenter is in such poor condition that she had to go to hospital.2、How might Carpenters feel living in the new hospital?ALonely.BDesperate.CRelaxed.DCurious.3、In which section of a newspaper can you find this text?ASociety.BTechnology.CFamily.DMedicine.22（8分）An image is worth a

18、 thousand kilos? Okay, so maybe not a thousand kilos, exactly, but a study shows how a photo diary can keep dieters motivated, making them more likely to achieve their target weight.Elias Kuzmar Daza, a medical professional from Colombia, studied the motivation levels of patients on weight loss prog

19、rams at a nutrition clinic.Different measurements were taken of the patients each week, including body mass index (指標) food and exercise diaries, etc. to record their progress. In addition, full-body photographs were taken each week, which proved to be very motivating and a key factor in patients co

20、mpleting the full program.Over the course of the sixteen-week program, a full ninety percent of patients, aged between 16 and 72, saw the treatment through to the end, with seventy percent successfully meeting their weight loss aims. Among those monitored, one measurement proved particularly motivat

21、ing: waistline.This finding indicates that the majority of the patients who attended the clinic did so motivated by image, rather than any underlying condition. It should be pointed out that eighty percent of them were female.Another useful finding of this study was that patients did not necessarily

22、 need to attend the clinic in person for the program to be effective. A support line was set up, which patients could call to submit their measurements. They also took and sent their own full-body photographs to the researcher. Fifty percent of patients completed the program in this way.Summarizing

23、the findings, Kuzmar says: “What patients want is a photo, rather than cold numbers.” These photos serve as visual confirmation that all their hard work is paying off, encouraging them on to further weight loss.1、What is the purpose of the study?ATo show losing weight is very easy.BTo compare severa

24、l ways to lose weight.CTo prove the effect of images in weight losing.DTo see how many people can lose weight successfully.2、How many patients in the clinic reached their weight-loss goals?A50%. B70%.C80%. D90%.3、What can give people most motivation when they are trying to lose weight?AFriends encou

DTheir standard blood pressure.4、What must the patients do to complete the weight-loss program?AGo to the clinic every week.BCall to submit their measurements.CReport to the professional every day.DTake full-body photographs each week.23（8分）

26、 Can you trust your very first childhood memories? Maybe not, a new study suggests.Past researches show that peoples earliest memories typically form around 3 to 3. 5 years of age. But in a recent survey of more than 6,600 people, British scientists have found that 39 percent of participants claimed

27、 to have memories from age 2 or younger. These first memories are likely false, the researchers said. This was particularly the case for middle -aged and older adults.For the study, researchers asked participants to describe their first memory and the age at which it occurred. Participants were told

28、 they had to be sure the memory was the one that had happened. For example, it shouldnt be based on a photograph, a family story or any source other than direct experiences. Then the researchers examined the content, language and descriptive details of these earliest memories and worked out the like

29、ly reasons why people would claim to have memories from an age when memories cannot form.As many of these memories dated before the age of 2, this suggests they were not based on actual facts, but facts or knowledge about their babyhood or childhood from photographs or family stories. Often these fa

30、lse memories are fired by a part of an early experience, such as family relationships or feeling sad, the researchers explained.We suggest that what a rememberer has in mind when recalling fictional early memories is a mental representation consisting of remembered pieces of early experiences and so

31、me facts or knowledge about their own babyhood or childhood, study author Shania Kantar said in a journal news release, Additionally, further details may be unconsciously inferred or added. Such memory-like mental representations come over time, to be collectively experienced when they come to mind,

32、 so for the individual, they quite simply are memories, which particularly point to babyhood. Importantly, the person remembering them doesnt know this is fictional, study co-author Martin Conway said In fact, when people are told that their memories are false they often dont believe it. 1、What can

33、we learn from a recent study?AMemories form after the age of 3.BParticipants are good at telling storiesCAdults are likely to form false memoriesDEarliest memories may play a trick on us2、Which source did the researchers require for the earliest memories?AA direct experience.BA family story.CA famil

34、y photo.DA sad feeling.3、What are these fictional early memories according to Kantar?AThey are repeated mental representations.BThey are a collection of early experiences.CThey are a combination of both facts and fictions.DThey are further details of remembered experiences.4、Which part of a newspape

35、r is this text probably taken from?ASociety.BPsychology.CTechnology.DHealth.24（8分） As parents, we want our children to reach their full academic potential. We read to them, encourage their special talents, and support them when they have problems. If they choose to participate in music or sports, we

36、 also help them reach their potential in those areas. These are all good goals.There is, however, an even more important goal. It is a goal more difficult than excellence in arithmetic or soccer or the violin. Parents are responsible for providing their children with a moral compass. They need to nu

37、rture and treasure goodness in their children. Every child has the capacity to become a good, decent human being. To fulfill this capacity, children need the guidance and support of parents and other adults. Raising good, moral children is the most important job we will have.What is a good, decent h

38、uman being? While we may differ on some details, most would agree that respect for others, kindness and caring, honesty and honor, and a reverence (尊重) for life are key. Good, decent human beings are people with a firm sense of direction and purposea moral compassto guide their lives. Children need

39、our help to develop these characteristics and values.While most people try to act with honor and kindness, doing so consistently is difficult and requires lifelong effort. Goodness is not easy for an adult and it is even more difficult for a child. They do not have the knowledge, experiences, or cog

40、nitive skills to understand the impact and consequences of their actions.Reinforcement is sometimes an efficient approach to building positive behavior. The child behaves in a desired way and the parents provide reinforcement. The behavior then typically increases in frequency. This approach works f

41、or teaching “Please” and “Thank you”. The new behavior is maintained, because it helps the child get along in the world.Loving, everyday interactions are the beginning of raising moral children. The child who falls and receives adult concern learns how to treat others kindly when they stumble (絆倒).

42、The child who makes a mistake and is encouraged to try again learns how to support others. When parents intercede (調解) graciously for their child, the child can see the basis for friendship. When we treat children with respect and care, we provide a positive model of how to behave. These early exper

43、iences establish patterns for their treatment of others.1、What are adults supposed to do to make children become good, decent human beings?ATo encourage their children to learn more about sports or music.BTo help their children to develop their special talents.CTo support their children when they ha

44、ve problems.DTo reinforce positive behavior through everyday interaction2、Why is it difficult for a child to act with honor and kindness?ABecause it is difficult for adults to do so.BBecause a child is not mature enough to do so.CBecause a child does not understand the abstract concept of “goodness”

45、.DBecause a child does not have a model to follow.3、The author talks about teaching “Please” and “Thank you” to demonstrate that _.Asaying “Please” and “Thank you” is a good habitBpoliteness is the nature of a moral compassCpoliteness helps the child get along in the worldDreinforcement is an effici

46、ent approach to building positive behavior4、What conclusion can we draw from the passage?AEvery child without exception will become a good, decent human being.BTheres a universally accepted criterion for “a good, decent human being”.CThe more reinforcement, the more the child behaves in a positive w

47、ay.DThe child with a single parent will not become a good, decent human being.5、What is the purpose of the last paragraph?ATo emphasize the importance of adults concern when a child falls.BTo show how to guide children to develop friendship.CTo explain why adults should treat children with respect a

48、nd care.DTo show how love and everyday interactions work in molding a moral child.25（10分）Its said that you dont know a man until you walk a mile in his shoes. And you also dont know what its like for older people to travel until you accompany one on a trip.After flying with my elderly father from Wa

49、shington, DCto L.Ain July, I began to realize that a companion has important tasks that can make a journey easier for older people. I booked non-stop tickets on JetBlue to avoid tiring, confusing connections, and we flew directly into small, manageable Long Beach Airport. Even though my father could

50、 walk, I arranged with the airline for wheelchair assistance, which meant we got on board first.When I took him back to the airport for his return flight to Washington, I got permission from JetBlue to wait with him at the gate instead of saying goodbye at the security checkpoint. I wished hed had a

51、 first-class seat and access to a comfortable airline club. Better yet, I wish I had flown with him both ways. As I watched the attendant wheel him to the lift that took him from the tarmac（飛機跑道）to the plane, I felt like an anxious mom sending her child to school for the first time.Things can go awr

52、y on a plane trip. And then there is the horrifying story about Joe and Margie. When they landed at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, a wheelchair attendant met them to help with a connection. But somehow Margie, who had Alzheimers disease, disappeared.I didnt need to worry about my father wa

53、ndering away. At 82, his mind was sharper than mine. But his hearing was poor, so I worried about what would happen if he missed an important announcement. Fortunately, everything went just fine. Careful planning made the trip successful.Next time I travel with a senior, Ill know better. I hope ther
