Dickens skipping through a 42 door? There are double doors, sliding doors, stage doors and glass doors. The 43 and mystery of a door lies in its quality of being hidden. A glass door is not a door at all, but a window. The meaning of a door is to 44 what lies inside; to keep the heart in suspense.

Also, there are many ways of opening doors. There is the cheery 45 of elbow with which the waiter opens the kitchen door. There is the sympathetic and awful 46 of the dentist?s maid who opens the door into the operating room and, without speaking, 47 that the doctor is ready for you.

But the closing of doors could be 50 , A door closed brings 51 to an end. And there are degrees of sadness in the closing of doors. A door slammed is a confession of weakness. A door 52 shut may often be the most tragic gesture in life.

The opening and closing of doors is a part of the serious fluency of life. Life will not stay 53 and let us alone. We are 54 opening doors with hope, closing them with despair. Life 55 not much longer than a pipe of tobacco, and destiny knocks us out like the ashes.

Dear Duke University Admissions, B Thank you for your rejection letter of March 26, 2015. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me admission into the Fall 2015 freshman class at Duke. This year I have been fortunate enough to receive rejection letters from the best and the brightest universities in the country.

B Do I exist?

Obviously!

Until Descartes came along in the seventeenth century, everyone assumed that we exited. Obviously. The fact seemed so mind-blowingly obvious that it wasn?t really discussed. We could see ourselves in the mirror, we could feel pain and pleasure, we could think thoughts for ourselves and, more importantly, perhaps, all the world?s main religions assumed that we do exist. So we exist.

No you don?t it!

You don?t exist. That?s because it?s impossible to show once and for all that you do. There?s no proof. You might think you exist-that you are sitting at a table reading this book, for instance-but how could you show with 100 percent certainty that this is true? There?s no experiment that could prove it. Although Descartes said just you could prove your own existence by the fact that you are able to think, this isn?t actually, according to the British philosopher A. J. Ayer. Just because we know that we are thinking, this doesn?t mean that there is a “you” doing the thinking. It just shows that the thoughts are happening, not that anyone is having them. Thoughts exists, “You” don?t.

_____________!

What a waste of time this question is. Although you can argue until the end of time whether you exist or not, it doesn?t get you anywhere. Unless you forget about this unanswerable question, you?ll be stuck thinking about it forever, and that isn?t of any use to anyone. Move on. Think about something more important! This very roughly, is the view of almost all philosophers, who prefer to answer other, apparently more useful, questions.

Yes, but…

You exist, but not in the way you might think. According to the great French philosopher Ren Descartes, you can’t show that anything exists—apart from your own self. The existence of the entire world can be doubted in one way or another, but the facts you’re having thoughts shows that there might be something (that’s you) having them. This let Descartes to write the famous

philosophical phrase, “ I think before I am”.

【文章解读】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了Do I exist这个问题，最后以笛卡尔的“我思故我在”来回扣主题。

60. Which of the following can be the missing heading? A. Forget about it B. What a ridiculous point C. Think about it D. What a pointless question 【答案】D

【解析】考查主旨大意题。

根据文章该部分的内容，特别是第一句话What a waste of time this question is可知这是一个无意义的问题，判断选D。

61. This passage is anything but a(n)___________. A. comment B. discussion C. argument D. debate 【答案】A

【解析】考查判断推理题。

A. comment评论；B. discussion讨论；C. argument争论；D. debate争论。根据题干关键词anything but绝不是，通读全文，根据文章的这几部分可知这是一场辩论性质的议论文，不是评论。故选A。

62. The famous answer to the question “Do I exist?” is ___________. A. No, you don?t exist. B. I think, therefore, I am. C. Yes, you do exist. D. It won’t get you anywhere 【答案】B

【解析】考查细节辨认题。

根据文章最后一段的This let Descartes to write the famous philosophical phrase, “ I think before

I am”可知该问题“我存在吗”的答案是我认为我存在，所有我是。故选B。

C

Knots are the kind of stuff that even myths are made of.

In the Greek legend of the Gordian knot, for example, Alexander the Great used his sword to slice through a knot that had failed all previous attempts to unite it. Knots, enjoy a long history of tales and fanciful names such as “Englishman?s tie, ” “and “cat?s paw. ” Knots became the subject of serious scientific investigation when in the 1860s the English physicist William Thomson (known today as Lord Kelvin) proposed that atoms were in fact knotted tubes of ether（醚）. In order to be able to develop the equivalent of a periodic table of the elements, Thomson had to be able to classify knots — find out which different knots were possible. This sparked a great interest in the mathematical theory of knots.

A mathematical knot looks very much like a familiar knot in a string, only with the string?s ends joined. In Thomson?s theory, knots could, in principle at least, model atoms of increasing complexity, such as the hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms, respectively. For knots to be truly useful in a mathematical theory, however, mathematicians searched for some precise way of proving that what appeared to be different knots were really different — the couldn?t be transformed one into the other by some simple manipulation（操作）. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the Scottish mathematician Peter Guthrie Tait and the University of Nebraska professor Charles Newton Little published complete tables of knots with up to ten crossings. Unfortunately, by the time that this heroic effort was completed, Kelvin?s theory had already been totally discarded as a model for atomic structure. Nevertheless, even without any other application in sight, the mathematical interest in knot theory continued at that point for its own sake. In fact, mathematical became even more fascinated by knots. The only difference was that, as the British mathematician Sir Michael Atiyah has put it, “the study of knots became a special branch of pure mathematics. ”

Two major breakthroughs in knot theory occurred in 1928 and in 1984. In 1928, the American mathematician James Waddell Alexander discovered an algebraic expression that uses the

arrangement of crossings to label the knot. For example, t2-t+1 or t2-3t+1, or else. Decades of work in the theory of knots finally produced the second breakthrough in 1984. The New Zealander-American mathematician Vaughan Jones noticed an unexpected relation between knots and another abstract branch of mathematics, which led to the discovery of a more sensitive invariant known as the Jones polynomial.

【文章解读】该文章主要讲述了一个新的数学分支的历史，就是不是Knot展开了讨论。 63. What is surprising about knots?

A. They originated from ancient Greek legend. B. The study of knots is a branch of mathematics. C. Knots led to the discovery of atom structure. D. Alexander the Great made knots well known. 【答案】B

【解析】考查细节辨认题。

根据文章第三段的最后一句话“the study of knots became a special branch of pure mathematics.可知knots已经变成数学的一个分支了。故选B。 64. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. No other application found except tables of knots. B. The study of knots meeting a seemingly dead end. C. Few scientist showing interest in knots. D. The publication of complete tables of knots. 【答案】A

【解析】考查词义猜测题。

根据文章前文的without any other application in sight判断that代指的是No other application found except tables of knots，故选A。

65. According to the passage, ______ shows the most updated study about knots.

M: Finally, I?ve got the chance to put on my new suit tonight. I hope to make a good impression on your family.

Thank you for coming, everyone. Today?s presentation will show how we see the development of the motor car in the short to medium term, and that is why we have invited all of you here today. Let?s start with power. It?s clear that petrol-driven engines have no future. Already there are many alternative fuel vehicles on the market, powered by anything from solar power to natural gas. Some independent thinkers have even produced cars that run on vegetable oil. But as we all know, of all these alternative fuel vehicles, the most practical are electric vehicles. Sure , in the past electric vehicles have their problems, namely, a limited driving range, and very few recharging points, which limited their use. Now , however, recent developments in electric vehicle technology mean they can match conventional petrol engines in terms of performance and safety. Let?s not forget that electric vehicles are cleaner. Plus, importantly, the power source is rechargeable, so this

does not involve using any valuable resources, Moving on to communications, very soon, cars will be linked to GPS satellites, so they?ll do all the driving for you. What controls remain for the users will be audio-based, so, for example, you?ll just have to say “a bit warmer”, and the air conditioning will adjust automatically. You?ll also be able to receive email, music and movies, all via an internet link. So just type in the destination you want, sit back, sleep, watch your movie, whatever.

ELMONT, N. Y. (AP)---Elmont High School senior Harold Ekeh had a plan—he would apply to 13 colleges , including all eight Ivy League schools, figuring it would help his chances of getting into at least one great school.

It worked, And then some, The teenager from Long Island was accepted at all 13 schools, and now faces his next big test: deciding where to go.

“I was stunned, I was really shocked, ”Ekeh told The Associated Press during an interview Tuesday at his home near the Belmont Park racetrack, his four younger brothers running around.

He found out last week he had been accepted to Princeton University. That made him eight for eight in the Ivy League—he had already been accepted to Yale University , Brown University, Columbia University , Cornell University , Dartmouth College, Harvard University and University of Pennsylvania. His other acceptances came from Johns Hopkins University, Massachusetts

Institute of Technology, New York University, Stony Brook University and Vanderbilt University.

“We are so proud of him, ” said his mother , Roseline Ekeh.“Hard work, dedication, prayer brought him to where he is today. ”

Born in Nigeria, Harold was eight years old when his parents brought the family to the United States.

“It was kind of difficult adjusting to the new environment and the new culture, ” he said. But he saw his parents working hard, “and I took their example and decides to apply myself” He referenced that effort in his college essay, writing, “Like a tree, uprooted and replanted, I could have withered in a new country surrounded by people and languages I did not understand. Yet, I witnessed my parents persevere despite the potential to give in. I faced my challenges with newfound zeal; I risked insults, spending my break talking to unfamiliar faces, ignoring their sarcastic remarks. ”

Harold “is tremendously focused in everything he does.” said John Capozzi, the school?s principal, “He?s a great role model. All the students and faculty are so proud of him. ”

Harold is the second Long Island student in as many years to get into all eight Ivies. Last year, William Floyd High School?s Kwasi Enim chose to go to Yale.

Harold, who has a 100. 51 grade-point average and wants to be a neurosurgeon, said he was leaning toward Yale, and had heard from Enin, offering congratulations.

insecure themselves find it harder to provide children with security, it says. And the report calls for more help so parents can develop such crucial bonds. The study focuses on the application of the theory of attachment—a key theory in child development and psychology. This says the degree to which children are secure and resilient as they grow up depends on their own early experiences with their mothers and fathers and how they have bonded.

The report from the Sutton Trust education charity, entitled Baby Bonds, makes the case that it has an important impact on children?s future educational chances as well as their emotional well-being. It is based on an analysis of more than 100 studies on the issue, including home visits and assessments and observations of children in a range of countries. The trust argues that

although psychologists have been aware of attachment theory, it has not been seen by policy makers as a key influence on educational attainment. And it asks them to take this into account. The report says when babies and toddlers do not form these strong parental bonds—known as secure attachment—they are more likely to exhibit poor language and poor behavior before they reach school.

And it cites international studies which suggest this continues late into life, with insecure children more likely to leave school early or duck out of employment or training. They are also more likely to suffer from aggression, defiance and hyperactivity later in life.

The Sutton Trust says its analysis of the research suggests that about 40% of children in the UK lack a secure attachment with their parents. Lead author Sophie Moullin said that when her team looked at large scale representative studies in a number of countries they all found, from their observations, that between 38% and 42% of children suffered from poor attachment in all the different study locations. She added: “Secure attachment really helps children with emotional and social development and at school it really helps them to manage their behavior. Shouting, looking out of the window, hitting each other…These are the things that teachers will tell you that are stopping children from learning. It?s really only as we understand more about these behavior problems that we have decided that a lot of it goes back to this early bonding with parents. ”

Research director at the trust Conor Ryan said: “Better bonding between parents and babies could lead to more social mobility, as there is such a clear link to education, behavior and future employment. The educational divide emerges early in life, with a 19—month school readiness gap between the most and least advantaged children by the age of five.

This report clearly identifies the fundamental role secure attachment could have in narrowing that school readiness gap and improving children?s life chances. “More support from health visitors, children?s centers together with local authorities in helping parents improve how they bond with young children could play a role in narrowing the education gap. ”

The dancer?s left foot is elegantly wrapped in her ballet shoe, tied to the ankle with a silk ribbon. The shoeless right foot, however, looks horribly different. Bruises and scars occupy every inch of her toes. （36 words）

I can only imagine the untold hardship the dancer must have endured for the endless hours of practice to look so glamorous on the stage. Likewise, behind every seemingly stunning success, there can be failures, disappointments, and embarrassments. When the whole world is crazy for JK

Rowling?s Harry Potter stories, rarely do people know it was after the books had been turned down 12 times by the publisher that they finally came out. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart. However, when we admire others? success, we should remember it is not from nowhere.

I have imagined the dancer to be my friend. I will, instead of telling her how awesome her dancing is, ask her to take good care of herself, for health is the real elegance of life. （130 words） 【思路点拨】 本文是话题作文，要求学生就芭蕾舞蹈者的鞋写出自己的感想，故应用一般现在时和第一人称。
