27、【1】

Have you heard statements like “If you love me, you would do this for me” or “You should be ashamed of yourself”？Statements like these are used by people to make you feel guilty because you have made a mistake and disappointed someone, or if someone wants a favor of you.

Guilt is a destructive (毁灭性的) emotion that is a waste of time. 【2】 To overcome guilt from your life, use the following steps：

Know the past can’t be changed.

Whatever happened or whatever you did in the past, you can’t remove or change it by feeling guilty. If you cry and shout, you will not make the past different. It is better to concentrate on the present. 【3】

【4】

If you hurt someone while not meaning it, apologize for what you have said or done and then forgive yourself. What happened in the past will teach you a lesson, so you won't repeat it again, but it is important to forgive yourself.

Let the people you deal with know you are not easy to feel guilty.

If your boss gives you a hard time because you don’t work overtime and starts saying that there is no money award for you to make you feel guilty, then you can say things like “That is perfectly fine. I will get the award next time.”

【5】 Don’t deny guilt or run away from it. Analyze it and deal with it. No matter how much time you spend feeling guilty, you are not going to be able to change it.

A．You have to face guilt to overcome it.

B．Try to learn from your experience.

C．Do something useful to improve your life and your future.

D．Don't let anyone make you feel guilty.

E．So you should learn to remove guilt.

F．Someone has disappointed you.

G．It is not important to apologize.

28、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Werewolves (狼人) aren’t the only creatures affected by the moon’s cycles（周期）. A full moon also affects people’s sleep more or less, reports a Swiss team of scientists. Even people who sleep in a lab without windows could reduce their sleeping time a little once a month.

To test the moon’s influence, 33 adults of both sexes and ages of many kinds spent several nights in a sleep lab. As they slept, researchers recorded their brain activity, eye movements and hormone levels (荷尔蒙水平). On nights closer to a full moon, the sleepers took an average of five minutes longer to fall asleep, and slept for 20 minutes less. In addition, brain activity fell by 30 percent during the sleep. And hormone levels that help control sleep cycles went down. On these nights, the sleepers complained they couldn’t sleep well even though they didn’t know the moon’s cycle. On the bright side, no sleeper turned into a werewolf.

The Swiss team doesn’t know how the moon affects sleep. The gravity (重力) of the moon causes ocean tides（潮汐）to rise and fall. But that force is too weak to affect sleep, Gajochen says. He believed some body’s biological clock may be affected by the moon cycles. There may be another reason, says David Dinges. This sleep researcher at the University Of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia says that the body clock is very sensitive（敏感的）to light at night. Those sleepers could have been affected by having too much moonlight before arriving at the lab.

【1】The writer mentioned “werewolves” in the first paragraph to ________.

A．show there are the moon’s cycles

B．attract people’s attention to the report

C．introduce a creature to readers

D．ask people not to sleep alone in the lab

【2】What happened to the sleepers during the experiment on a full moon?

A．They slept for about five minutes longer.

B．They could only sleep for 20 minutes.

C．Their brains were not as active as they were

D．They complained they were too tired to sleep.

【3】The last paragraph is developed mainly by ________.

A．analyzing (分析) reasons

B．explaining differences

C．making comparisons

D．following the time order

【4】The passage is mainly about ________.

A．the sleeping problems caused by the moon’s cycles

B．the influence of the moon on human sleeping habits

C．the moon’s influence on sleeping and its possible reasons

D．the ways to get a better sleep on a full moon night

29、   I remember my first true introduction to art fondly. It was my second year of university and I was a confused 19-year-old at the time, unsure of what academic path I wanted to pursue. I knew that I had always been fascinated by things that made me question the world around me, and my art history class was the first time I really got to get my feet wet.

My professor, a post-graduate with natty (齐整的) hair, entertained us with her stories of travel and revealed the arts of the world to us, something that had not been touched on since my primary school years. The grand story of time was told in broken Greek sculptures, figures whose amazingly detailed limestone carvings were often missing arms and heads to the brittle ravages (无情的破坏) of time. We explored the patterns of the Medieval era and the early Renaissance religious symbolism of Michelangelo and Botticelli. We analyzed the mustard (芥末黄) and chiaroscuro (明暗对比) glare of the Baroque paintings of Caravaggio and El Greco, and we were amazed by the sandcastle-naturalism of the Spanish architect Gaudi. The history of art has fascinated me ever since.

I never had a talent for art myself, but I always did have a well-grounded appreciation for those who did. In primary school, we explored art through music and painting classes, but once we entered secondary school, art was an elective course and quickly limited to the dustbins of my memory. It was only after that humble art history class that I realized what I had been missing.

I strongly believe that a well-rounded society needs everyone to have an early education in the arts. A healthy society needs all its members to open their eyes—and their minds—so that they can learn what is true and beautiful, just as the famous Greek philosopher Plato said, “The reflection of beauty causes the soul to grow wings”.

【1】What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence in the first paragraph?

A．The author got lost in the art history class due to the confusion.

B．The author was starting to figure out the exact academic path.

C．The author was starting to learn to appreciate art.

D．The author wet his feet because of carelessness.

【2】Why did the author mention the professor?

A．To show his love for Greek sculptures.

B．To show the beginning of his love for art.

C．To tell readers the professor’s love for grand stories.

D．To tell readers what the Renaissance religious symbolism is.

【3】What’s author’s attitude towards art education?

A．Ambiguous

B．Supportive

C．Opposed

D．Doubtful

【4】What’s the purpose of the passage?

A．To advocate the popularity of art history.

B．To propose a change in the education of art history.

C．To urge people to explore more art classes in an early age.

D．To arouse people’s awareness of the importance of early art education.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

One windy day in March, Kitty Miller was on her way to school, when she spotted a great pile of lovely red apples in a store window. "Oh, how lovely!” she said. If only Mamma could have one!"

Kitty's mother was very poor. She had been a dressmaker ever since Mr. Miller died, and had worked so hard to earn a living for herself and Kitty that she had become sick. She had to lie in bed all day, and when Kitty was away at school, the house was very lonesome to her.

When Kitty reached the school that day, her thoughts were full of her sick mother and the lovely apples. She was usually a good student, but today she made so many mistakes that the teacher looked at her in surprise. The little girl could only sit at her desk, with her book before her, and dream of those red apples. When school was dismissed, Kitty started slowly homeward. She had gone only a short distance when she saw a gentleman in front of her drop his wallet. Running quickly forward, she picked it up. It felt quite heavy in Kitty's little hand.

There must be a good deal of money in it, thought Kitty. "How I wish I could keep it. Then I could buy Mamma a red apple and so many other things she needs." But she knew this would not be right, so she hurried after the gentleman. Touching him on the arm, she said, "Please, Sir. You dropped your wallet." "Thank you, dear," said the gentleman, taking the wallet. Then noticing how poorly dressed she was, he said, “Why did you not keep the wallet, my child?”

"Because that would be stealing,,, replied Kitty. “But,” she continued honestly, "before I thought I must give it back to you, I did wish I could keep it, for then I could buy Mamma a red apple. "

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；
