    PART FOUR  WRITING
    SECTION A
    Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.
    Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
    As a parent you may realize the importance education has in our lives, however, your child hates listening to any of your arguments, thoughts and ideas. A student uninterested in education will miss college lectures and perform extremely poorly in assessment tests. In the worst cases, students may stop attending the school or college and sit at home without any concern for career, education and life. In order to encourage the students back to their college life and career, parents should first find out what causes the lack of motivation in students.
    Low self-respect in students forces them to give up challenges. Even if these students try and complete some tasks, they’re clouded by many negative thinking patterns that block the flow of confidence in their personalities.
    Lack of love at home can also result in the lack of motivation in students. If the parents are away from the kids or students and they’re unaware of what their kid is doing in school, then the child feels neglected and steps back from taking responsibilities and challenges.
    Constant poor performance lowers the self-confidence of the student and the student will feel lost in the crowd of brilliant students. Such academic pressures can make students lose their motivation.
    Nothing can be a better motivation for students than their teachers and parents. Schools should organize motivation activities for students, like games, sports and competitions, which are important for the whole personality development of the students. Involve them in some activities like dancing, music etc. that they are interested in, so that they can learn new hobbies and increase their confidence. You should stop ignoring your child’s studies and do understand his need to be heard. In short, lack of motivation in students can be completely reduced if the parents and teachers understand the kid and support him / her to break any of his / her negative patterns of thought.

    第二节：阅读填空（共10小题，每题1分，满分10分）
    认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空填一个单词。
    Whenever we meet with difficulty or failure, teachers, parents or others often say to us or perhaps we say to ourselves, “Never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion , the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
    One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel disappointed and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail , we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.
    Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted.
    Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.
    In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not , we will learn something , and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. Furthermore, if we give up , we have no chance of attaining our goals any more , but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.
    Topic: Never Give UP
    Possible meanings and the author’s opinions:
    1.The words “ Never give up” can__71__ others or oneself and express one’s determination.
    2.A person who wants to ___72___ should have the quality . So we should never give up.
    The ___73____ :
    1.If we give up too easily, maybe we will achieve ____74___, so when we fail in our first attempt at something new, we should not___75____ ourselves but try again.
    2.Always giving up means that we will not be able to ___76____ any progress.
    3.Never giving up will make us learn from the mistakes we’ve made before and learn the ___77____ so as not to make the same mistakes.
    4.To reach our goals and develop the confidence which can help us ___78____ourselves, we must not give up but challenge ourselves.
    Conclusions:
    If you give up, you will have no__79____of reaching your goals. Never give up and you will attain your goals sooner or ___80____

    Baekeland and Hartmann report that the “short sleepers” had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.
    In general, these “short sleeps” appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, conformist(不动摇) in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or workers full-or part-time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “normal” or “acceptable” to their friends and associates.
    When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.
    The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic(疯人).
    The “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers.”
    Many of the “long sleepers” were shy, anxious, introverted (内向), inhibited (压抑), passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly state that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.
    64. According to the report,______.
    A) many short sleepers need less sleep by nature
    B) many short sleepers are obliged to reduce their nightly sleep time because they are busy with their work
    C) long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the day
    D) many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during their childhood
    65. Many “short sleepers” are likely to hold the view that _____.
    A) sleep is a withdrawal from the reality
    B) sleep interferes with their sound judgement
    C) sleep is the least expensive item on their routine program
    D) sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles
    66. When sometimes they cannot enjoy adequate sleep, the long sleepers might ____.
    A) appear disturbed
    B) become energetic
    C) feel dissatisfied
    D) be extremely depressed
    67. Which of the following is Not included in the passage?
    A) If one sleeps inadequately, his performance suffers and his memory is weakened
    B) The sleep patterns of short sleepers are exactly the same as those shown by many mental patients
    C) Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleep
    D) Short sleepers would be better off with more rest

    Vingo sat in front of three men and three women. One of the women sat beside him and introduced herself. “We’re going to Florida,” she said brightly. “What some wine?” He smiled and thanked her.
    “Are you married”
    “I don’t know.”
    “You don’t know?” She said.
    “Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife,” he said. “I told her that I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldn’t stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, or if it hurt her too much, well, she could forget me. Get a new guy, I said—she’s a wonderful woman. I told her she didn’t have to write to me. And she didn’t. Not for three and a half years.”
    “And you’re going home now?”
    “Yeah,” he said shyly. “Well, last week, I wrote to her again. We used to live in Brunswick, and there’s an oak tree(橡树) just as you come into town. I told her that if she didn’t have a new guy and if she’d take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I ‘d get off and come home. If she didn’t want me, forget it ---no handkerchief, and I’d go on through.”
    Now Brunswick was 20 miles, 10 miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances of joy—they saw the oak tree covered with yellow handkerchiefs—20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, a tree that stood like a flag of welcome billowing (飘扬) in the wind.
    36. Where did the conservation between Vingo and the woman probably happen?
    A. On a bus   B. In a coffee shop.  C. On a plane.   D. In a prison.
    37. How long hadn’t Vingo and his wife live together?
    A. Only one year. B. About ten years.  C. About seven years  D. Nearly four years
    38. When Vingo was in prison, his wife ___________.
    A. often wrote to him        B. married another man
    C. still loved him as before    D. taught the kids at home
    39. According to the young people, the handkerchiefs on the oak tree were ______.
    A. flags of honesty  B. flags of happiness  C. a sign of freedom  D. a sign of wisdom

    Everyone knows the story of Benjamin Franklin’s famous kite flight. He was a man of many talents and interests. His natural curiosity about things and the way they work made him try to find ways to make them work better. Although he made important discoveries and advancements, Ben didn’t “invent” electricity. He did, however, invent the lightning rod which protected buildings and ships from lightning damage.
    In colonial America, most people warmed their homes by building a fire in a fireplace even though it was kind of dangerous and used a lot of wood. Ben figured that there had to be a better way. His invention of an iron furnace stove allowed people to warm their home less dangerously and with less wood. The furnace stove that he invented is called a Franklin stove. Interestingly, Ben also established the first fire company and the first fire insurance company in order to help people live more safely.
    As the postmaster, Ben had to figure out routes for delivering the mail. He went out riding in his carriage to measure the routes and needed a way to keep track of the distance. He invented a simple odometer and attached it to his carriage.
    In his old age, Ben retired from business and public service and wanted to spend his time reading and studying. He found, however, that his old age had made it difficult for him to reach books from the high shelves. Even though he had many grandchildren to help him, he invented a tool called a long arm to reach the high books. The long arm was a long wooden pole with a grasping claw at the end.
    Later, other famous inventors, like Thomas A. Edison and Alexander Graham Bell, would follow in Ben’s footsteps by trying to find ways to help people live better. Today’s curious thinkers are keeping Ben’s traditions alive by inventing new and improved ways to make things work.
    68. We can learn from the passage that Benjamin Franklin ___________________.
    A. made his first invention using a kite
    B. made his living by delivering the mail
    C. set up some companies to help people to live better
    D. made a stove which used other fuels instead of wood
    69. The underlined word “odometer” in Paragraph 3 refers to something that ________.
    A. contains the mail                                                 B. shows the direction
    C. makes the carriage go fast                    D. records total miles covered
    70. Benjamin Franklin invented a long arm in order to _________.
    A. replace his disabled arm
    B. play games with his grandchildren
    C. get books from the bookshelf more easily
    D. clean and tidy his house and the bookshelf
    71. The last paragraph mainly wants to tell us that _____________.
    A. Ben was the most famous inventor.
    B. other inventors learned a lot from Ben.
    C. Ben’s spirit of inventing remain with us.
    D. thinkers are more likely to become inventors

    Some years ago, a Miami woman walking through an office building noticed two men standing together．Several minutes after her leaving, the men murdered a person working in the building．The police determined that the woman was the only witness and could possibly describe them．However, her memory of the men proved disappointingly unclear．Several days later, psychologist Ronald Fisher was brought in to obtain a more complete account from the woman．His interview produced a breakthrough—the woman reported a clear picture of one of the suspects．The important information enabled the police lo arrest the suspect and close the case．
    The police asked Fisher for help because of his rich knowledge in cognitive interview, a kind of memory - rebuilding process．Memory researchers have found that people trying to remember a past event often only recall part of the relevant information．Human memory is selective and it is often distorted by stress．But a person's accurate recall of an event or understanding of a question can be improved using specific interviewing techniques．The "cognitive interview" was developed in the late 1990s．It encourages the witness to take an active role in recalling information rather than giving answers only to someone else's questions．The witness first describes what happened in his or her own words, with no interviewer interruptions．The interviewer then goes further with specific techniques, such as having the witness tell the details of what happened from different perspectives （角度）．
    The cognitive interview focuses on guiding witnesses through four general recalling techniques: thinking about physical surroundings and personal feelings that existed at the time of past events; reporting everything that conies to mind about those events, no matter how broken it is retelling events in a variety of time orders, such as from beginning to end, end to beginning, forward or backward; and adopting different perspectives while recalling events．
    Experiments with police detectives trained in this demanding interview method find that they obtain nearly 50% more information from witnesses than before training, while error rates remain about the same．It is proved that cognitive interviews are quite important tools in improving the accuracy and completeness of witness testimony （证词）．
    67．The purpose of the passage is to _____．
    A．give an account of a murder case
    B．introduce an idea of cognitive interview
    C．prove Fisher was an expert in cognitive interview
    D．help a witness to recall information in a cognitive interview
    68．What is required to recall in a cognitive interview for a witness?
    A．The exact time at which a murder took place．
    B．The information about the event in the time order．
    C．The important things that come to his or her mind．
    D．The surroundings and feelings at the time of the event．
    69．The key point in a cognitive interview is that______
    A．the witness is encouraged to take part in recalling information
    B．the interviewer should interrupt the witness from time to time
    C．the interview should take place outside the police station
    D．the witness should recall details at the scene of the event
    70．The underlined word "distorted" in the passage probably means " ____
