(10 points) One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life can be 1 when you are not busy finding fault with it.Several years ago I 2 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 3 by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 4 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 5 person.Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 6 . Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 7 to deal with was that the day before the 8 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 9 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 10 . It wasnt until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 11 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 12 everything so harshly(刻薄). She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 13 as well.Perhaps most of us arent as extreme at fault-finding, 14 when were honest, we can be sharply 15 of the world. Im not suggesting you 16 problems, or that you pretend things are 17 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are 18 most of the time, and especially when its not a really big 19 .Train yourself to bite your tongue, and with a little 20 , youll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, youll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.1、AlonelyBgreatCquietDuneasy2、AreceivedBansweredCexpectedDrejected3、AthreatenedBinterruptedCbotheredDspoiled4、AanythingBeverythingCsomethingDnothing5、AcaringBboringCinterestingDsurprising6、AattitudeBplanCmeasureDexplanation7、AurgentBunnecessaryCcertainDimpossible8、AoccasionBeventCaccidentDadventure9、AmemoryBnoticeCevidenceDchoice10、AhearBcontributeCexpressDadmit11、Aaware ofBafraid ofCcurious aboutDconfused about12、AdiscussBrealizeCjudgeDsettle13、AfamilyBlifeCcareerDeducation14、AsoBorCbutDfor15、AproudBsureChopefulDcritical16、AfaceBcreateCsolveDignore17、ArarerBbetterCstrangerDworse18、Aat leastBat lastCby farDso far19、AtaskBdealCresultDduty20、ApracticeBspeechCrestDpitySection II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.

(40 points)Text 1The old traditional saying about sleeping with one eye open in an unfamiliar place may not be too far off the mark. Over the course of three experiments on 35young and healthy volunteers, researchers in a new study measured brain activity during two continuous nights of sleep.Sasaki and colleagues performed a series of lab tests by stimulating the left and then the right hemisphere(大脑的半球)with sounds. On the second night, there wasnt any difference in reactions to tests between the left and right hemispheres, even during deep sleep. This suggests that there is a first-night-only effect specifically in one hemisphere of the brain during deep sleep, the authors conclude. The way participants responded to the sleep lab tests points to the potential for the brain to be on high alert for danger during the first night in unfamiliar surroundings. While this may be bad news for business travelers who regularly make brief overnight trips, it may not be as troublesome for people who go away for longer periods of time, Sasaki added by email. “Frequent travel may lead to unrestful sleep,” Sasaki said. “But if you stay for a few days at the same place, your sleep might catch up.”Some birds have been found to actually sleep with one eye open and one side of the brain awake when theyre in a dangerous setting, and some marine mammals have similar abilities, the authors note. But the new study focuses on healthy volunteers but not people with insomnia or other sleep disorders, the authors note.“The clinical implications havent been confirmed at the moment,” Finan, a psychiatry (精神医学)and behavioral health researcher said. “However, the level of specificity provided by these analyses could be an important first step in understanding what sleep disorders like insomnia(失眠) arise from, which is thought to be driven in many patients by continuing having a lot of worries.”1、What do the underlined words “may not be too far off the mark” in Paragraph 1 mean?AMay make senseBMay be ridiculous.CMay cause
