His attitude didnt soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled, hed say in his loudest father-voice, “Thats what your legs are for!”The walk didnt bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didnt seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge（树篱）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my fathers head. Then I knew, each time Id come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, its you!” hed say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise. I replied, “Yes, Dad, its me. Im home.” 21. What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.

BI have been teaching animal behavior at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado for 10 years. The course is one of the most popular in the prison. Prisoners have to earn the right to attend the course and they work hard to get in.One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with people, because animals dont judge them. They trust animals in ways they dont with humans.Yet, they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another. Many admit that their own “animal behavior” is what got them into trouble in the first place. I teach that though there is competition and aggression in the animal kingdom, there is also a lot of cooperation（合作）and sympathy.Many of the students want to build healthy relationships, and they find that the class helps them. I use examples of the social behavior of group-living animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining（维持）friendships among people who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group.Its clear that science inspires the students here and it also gives them hope. I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane（人道）societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations. One went on to receive a masters degree in nature writing.Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would not have done. It opens the door to understanding, trust, cooperation and hope. Theres a large population of people to whom science could mean a lot, if only they could have access to it. The class helps me, too. I get as much out of it as the students and it has made me a better teacher.25. The authors course is welcomed by the prisoners because _. A. they consider animals their best friends B. they are curious about animal kingdomC. they feel it easier to get along with animalsD. they are more familiar with animal behavior26. The author used wolves as an example to _. A. provide the prisoners with more knowledge B. explain the cruel side of group-living animals C. help the prisoners realize the importance of teamworkD. inform the prisoners that animals get people into trouble 27. We can infer from the text that some prisoners _. A. have turned over a new leaf B. are required to attend the course C. are willing to learn working skills D. prefer humane education to science CMelbourne, Australia Melbourne is a hot-spot travel destination, and its easy to see why with its beautiful beaches and busy city life.

Yes, there is no Start button in the lower left corner, and this might be a real puzzle of many Windows users. Also, many users have had a problem to get used to the new interface（界面）introduced by Windows 8. The biggest problem that is worth noticing is that Windows 8 was originally designed for touch screen users, and this may have a bad effect on desktop users who have gotten used to doing everything with the help of their keyboard and mouse.32.

Luckily, here are 4 tips to help form positive patterns. 1. Self-awareness When a negative thought pops into your mind, immediately correct it. Instead of telling yourself “Thats a nice shirt, but I cant afford it,” change the message to “That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it.” 37 Of course, everyone complains sometimes. But the less frequently you complain, the better you will feel. 2. Distance yourself 38 Excuse yourself and go somewhere quiet, somewhere outdoors in the fresh air. Think of something pleasant before returning. You have to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand（困境）. 3. Dont try to change complainersIf you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social event, simply choose silence. Let their words bounce off you while you think of something else. Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a target. 39 If someone says, “I hate Mondays, weekends are too short,” try to think, “Im glad I rested up over the weekend, so Im ready to make some improvement on that big project.” 4. 40 When someone is shouting at you angrily, throw the responsibility back at them by asking, “So what do you intend to do about it?” In most cases, complainers dont really want a solution. They just want to speak them out. If you make them aware that they themselves have to find the solutions, they will leave you alone and find someone else to complain to. If so, you will be happy. A. Find solutions B. Change responsibility C. You have got a lot of company. D. By doing this, it will lead to positive behaviors. E. But you can redirect the discussion in your own mind. F. Whenever possible, escape from negative conversations. G. You will never know what they are going to talk about.第三部分 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Dont let Auroras small stature（身材）fool youher spirit is strong.
