It was during that time that I learned about 19 in the workplace. As a temporary stall member, I was often treated very 20 , probably largely due to the bad reputation that temporaries have for being 21 . However, unlike the typical temporary worker, I arrived on time, took 22 from senior staff, and did my work immediately every day, 23 experiencing some most disrespectful treatment of my working career.
I remember a time working as an 24 to female vice president of a large government agency, I was often left alone all day in the office with no 25 . The vice president was often out of the office, but never bothered to let me 26 , so I would wait half the day for her to arrive and give me an assignment. When she did arrive, she usually sent me to 27 files from various companies. One time, I confused one of the names that she mentioned and brought the 28 file. She and her staff ended up 29 me instead of simply correcting me.
When I 30 found a full-time position in my chosen field, the first thing I swore to do was treat everyone I 31 with respect, 32 for the entire year when I was a temporary, I 33 what it was like to be disrespected, and I swore never to treat anyone like that.

AHN is the only standards based nationally focused homestay organization in Australia. We have decades of experience in managing homestays for international students, using proven methods, standards, training, and a communications network to ensure that every student, and every host, has a safe, culturally rich experience. Our hosts offer more than rooms for rent; they offer a support system and authentic interest in welcoming a student to Australia.
Superior Homestay Experiences
We believe that choosing a homestay for accommodation when coming to a new country ensures a more successful experience for international students. Our students can expect to enjoy a supportive, friendly home while adjusting to Australian culture and the community they will be living in. Our program includes:
* Homestay management and support throughout the entire homestay experience
* Extensive national criminal background checks for hosts
* Student support services including banking and transportation
* Comprehensive on line training and orientation for hosts and students
* Professionally staffed 24/7 critical incident contact centre
* Management of all homestay payments for students and hosts
How Our Homestays Work
AHN will match each student with a host family located near the students place of education. The host will provide the student with a private bedroom, an agreed upon meal plan, and will assist the student in learning the local customs and transportation systems, as well as generally helping the student become acquainted with the Australian way of life. Students are encouraged to share information about their home cultures and countries, as our hosts also wish to have a unique cultural experience.
Our Hosts
Our hosts are carefully selected to ensure that our students are placed in environments that are not only safe and comfortable but also welcoming. Our hosts are truly interested in enjoying a shared cultural experience with their students. We conduct national criminal background checks, in-home interviews, and complete home inspections. We stay in contact with both the host and the student during the homestay period. We want all visiting students to have the most positive experience possible when beginning their educational journey in Australia.

For centuries, medical pioneers have refined a variety of methods and medicines to treat sickness, injury, and disability, enabling people to live longer and healthier lives.
“A salamander (a small lizard-like animal) can grow back its leg. Why cant a human do the same?” asked Peruvian-born surgeon Dr. Anthony Atala in a recent interview. The question, a reference to work aiming to grow new limbs for wounded soldiers, captures the inventive spirit of regenerative medicine. This innovative field seeks to provide patients with replacement body parts.
These parts are not made of steel; they are the real things—living cells, tissue, and even organs.
Regenerative medicine is still mostly experimental, with clinical applications limited to procedures such as growing sheets of skin on burns and wounds. One of its most significant advances took place in 1999,when a research group at North Carolinas Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine conducted a successful organ replacement with a laboratory-grown bladder. Since then, the team, led by Dr. Atala, has continued to generate a variety of other tissues and organs—from kidneys to ears.
The field of regenerative medicine builds on work conducted in the early twentieth century with the first successful transplants of donated human soft tissue and bone. However, donor organs are not always the best option. First of all, they are in short supply, and many people die while waiting for an available organ; in the United States alone, more than 100,000 people are waiting for organ transplants. Secondly, a patients body may ultimately reject the transplanted donor organ. An advantage of regenerative medicine is that the tissues are grown from a patients own cells and will not be rejected by the bodys immune system.
Today, several labs are working to create bioartificial body parts. Scientists at Columbia and Yale Universities have grown a jawbone and a lung. At the University of Minnesota, Doris Taylor has created a beating bioartificial rat heart. Dr. Atalas medical team has reported long-term success with bioengineered bladders implanted into young patients with spina bifida (a birth defect that involves the incomplete development of the spinal cord). And at the University of Michigan, H. David Humes has created an artificial kidney.
So far, the kidney procedure has only been used successfully with sheep, but there is hope that one day similar kidney will be implantable in a human patient. The continuing research of scientists such as these may eventually make donor organs unnecessary and, as a result, significantly increase individualschances of survival.
38. In the latest field of regenerative medicine, what are replacement parts made of?
A. Donated cells, tissues and organs.
B. Rejected cells, tissues and organs.
C. Cells, tissues and organs of ones own.
D. Cells, tissues and organs made of steel.
39. What have scientists experimented successfully on for a bioartificial kidney?
A. Patients. B. Rats.
C. Sheep. D. Soldiers.
40. Why is generative medicine considered innovative?
A. It will provide patients with replacement soft tissues.
B. It will strengthen the human bodys immune system.
C. It will shorten the time patients waiting for a donated organ.
D. It will make patients live longer with bioartificial organs.
41. What is the writers attitude towards regenerative medicine?
A. Positive. B. Negative.
C. Doubtful. D. Reserved.

She almost did not run. Christine Williams admits that now. She could barely put one foot after another following the wake(守靈) for her sister, who had died in an automobile accident. But she did run. With the cheers of friends and strangers reaching her heart, Williams set a C.W. Post record in Boston. Now she will run again, in the national Division II cross-country championships in Evansville, Ind. She wanted to be sure she was doing the right thing by running. She was the middle of three sisters, between Kerry, who is 25, and Jennifer, who was 18.
Just going through any motions was hard enough, but Christine Williams wanted to know if she should put on her uniform and her shoes and run through the woods on an autumn afternoon, in the awful gaping time between her sisters wake and her funeral. “I kind of got upset beforehand.” Williams admitted. Not a chatterbox under normal conditions, she now holds herself the best way she can, the fewer words the better. She almost walked away from the start line. But her friend Angela Toscano, who had flown up to Boston with her, directly from the wake, was standing near the line and talked her through it. “She said my sister would have wanted me to run.” Christine said. And that was enough to get her started.
The accident happened just after midnight on Nov, 4. Four young women were driving in an unfamiliar area of Long Island in Eastport, N.Y., when one of them apparently ran a yield sign, and the car was hit by another vehicle. Heather Brownrigg and Jennifer Williams died, and their friends April Brown and Kaci Moran were treated at a hospital and released.
The crash made the papers. April Brown was charged with drunken driving and driving without a license.
The wake began on Nov. 6. The next day Christine was to run with the Post cross-country team at the regional meet. Rich Degnan, the Post coach, and Post officials offered a car service and tickets on the last flight-to Boston for Christine and Toscano. When they arrived at the hotel, the entire team was waiting up for her.
Everybody knew about it at the regional meet. Degnan had to arrange for the flexibility of an alternate, just in case Christine could not go. Several times during the race, Christine felt she could not continue. But then she heard her friends and all those other people, those strangers from other colleges, calling her name. She thought about Jennifer. And she ran. She finished fourth in 22 minutes 58 seconds, breaking the Post record for the 6-kilometer distance by 15 seconds. And although the Post team didnt qualify for the nationals, Christine did.
42. The efforts Christines Post team made for her include the following EXCEPT .
A. offering car service and flight tickets to Boston
B. arranging for a substitute for her beforehand
C. taking care of her food and uniforms
D. cheering for her during the race
43. We can learn from the passage that .
A. Christines two sisters were killed in the accident
B. Christines athletic performance stood out in the race
C. Christine flew to Boston after her sisters funeral
D. Christine broke the Post record in national meet in Boston
44. What is the crucial factor contributing to Christines success in the race?
A. Diligent practice. B. Excellent coaching.
C. Good relationships. D. Firm determination.
D
“What defines you?” Thats what Lizzie Velasquez asked the crowds of people who came to hear her motivational speeches.
Due to a rare syndrome(綜合症), from the second when Velasquez was born incredibly ugly, the doctors prepared her parents to accept absolutely nothing out of her, no crying, no walking, no crawling and literally nothing. But her parents decided to take her home, love her and raise her the best as they could. They brought her up completely normally, so normally that when she started kindergarten she had no clue that she was different.
Unfortunately, she had to find it out in a way like a big slap of reality for a 5-year-old. No one wanted to play with her or stand by her. No one wanted to have a single thing to do with her. As a little girl, she couldnt understand, because she was raised still normally. So she had to go home and ask her parents. And they encouraged her to go back to school and be herself so eventually everyone would see she was just like them. So again, at such a young age, she was forced to a situation where she could either choose to be happy or choose to give up. Luckily, she chose to be happy.
When she was in high school, one day she was shocked to click on one video of herself labeled “the Worlds Ugliest Woman”, which was only 8 seconds long but had over 4 million views. The comments that went along were horrible. “Why would her parents keep her?!” read one; “Kill it with fire!” said another. And they continued on and on. She wanted to fight back at some of the commentators, like one specifically who told her to put a gun to her head and kill herself. So again, she was put in the position to choose happiness or to choose to give up.
And again with the help of family, Velasquez found the strength to channel the hatred into motivation and to rise above the cruelty. At that moment, she was going to let her goals, her success and her accomplishments be the things that define her, not her outer appearance, not the doctors who said she would accomplish nothing or those people who called her a monster.
She decided to be a motivational speaker and 2013 was the eighth year of her motivational speaking. She decided to write a book. During her first year in college, she published her first book Lizzie is beautiful in English and Spanish and then the second one Be beautiful, be you and then the third. She decided to graduate from college and she got her degree from Texas State University in May, 2013. One of the biggest motivations for her to accomplish all those things was that Youtube video. She will go back to that video and look at every hateful and nasty comment and it will inspire her to keep going and work even harder.
Lizzie Velasquez once made the headlines as the worlds ugliest woman, but she finally shrugged off the hurtful comments about her looks as just words. Now, she is not letting anything or anyone hold her back and is using her devotion to religion to help diminish the hatred that comes her way by overriding it with an inspirational message of love and acceptance. She has resolved to take charge of her life by killing the negativity with ambition and is consistently redefining what it means to be beautiful on her own terms. And she wins!
45. Reactions towards Velasquezs appearance are as follows EXCEPT .
A. the doctors advised accepting nothing out of her
B. her parents decided to bring her up as normal
C. her classmates refused to keep her company
D. netizens intentionally pushed her to kill herself
46. According to Velasquez, what is the best response to those who commented bitterly online?
A. Fighting right back.
B. Deleting the comments.
C. Turning to her family.
D. Making achievements.
47. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means .
A. she could be easily set off by those hurtful comments
B. she painfully managed to focus on her achievements
C. she didnt care about those hurtful comments eventually
D. she felt sad whenever looking back on the hurtful words
48. Which of the following can best describe Velasquez?
A. Optimistic and determined.
B. Flexible and sympathetic.
C. Diligent and outspoken.
D. Brave and considerate.
49. The sentence “At that point she was deciding how she was going to revenge(报复) and finally she decided to fight back in a different way.” can be put at the end of Paragraph .
A. 3 B. 4
C. 5 D. 6
50. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Appearance: something to define you
B. Velasquez: a brave and beautiful heart
C. Achievement: something to support you
D. Speech: a way to make you stronger
四、任務型阅读(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
Deep reading, as opposed to superficial (shallow) reading we do on the Web, is an endangered practice, one we ought to take steps to preserve as we would a historic building or a significant work of art.
Recent research has illustrated that deep reading, characterized as a unique experience different kind from the mere understanding of words, is slow, immersive (沉浸的), rich in sensory detail and emotional and moral complexity. Although deep reading does not, strictly speaking, require a conventional book, the limits of the printed page are uniquely helpful to the deep reading experience. A books lack of hyperlinks (超链接), for example, frees the reader from making decisions—should I click on this link or not—allowing her to remain fully absorbed in the story.
That immersion is supported by the way the brain handles language rich in detail, indirect reference and figures of speech: by creating a mental representation that draws on the same brain regions that would be active if the scene were unfolding in real life. The emotional situations and moral dilemmas that are the material of literature are also vigorous (有活力的) exercise for the brain, driving us inside the heads of fictional characters and even, studies suggest, increasing our real-life capacity (能力) for recognition.
None of this is likely to happen when were browsing through a website. Although we call the activity by the same name, the deep reading of books and the information-driven reading we do on the Web are very different, both in the experience they produce and in the capacity they develop. A growing body of evidence suggests that online reading may be less satisfying, even for the “digital natives” to whom it is so familiar. Researchers reported that 39% of children and teens read daily using electronic devices, but only 28% read printed materials every day. Those who only read onscreen were three times less likely to say they enjoy reading very much and tell which book they like best. The study also found that young people who read daily only onscreen were nearly twice less likely to be above-average readers than those who read daily in print or both in print and onscreen.
All in all, the disappearance of deep reading would harm the intellectual and emotional development of generations growing up online, as well as the preservation of a critical part of our culture: the novels, poems and other kinds of literature that can be appreciated only by readers whose brains have been trained to understand them.

五、One possible version:
The Spring Festival is a traditional time for family members to celebrate together. But in modern society, people have more choices like travelling and even making money besides going home. (30 words)
Quite a few things give rise to the phenomenon. On one hand, the Internet makes it very convenient for children to keep in touch with their parents, so the Spring Festival is not as important as it was in terms of reunion. On the other hand, high living expenses put great pressure on some people. So it seems quite worthwhile earning a high income during this period. Also, the crowded journey and expensive tickets make people reluctant to go home.
Personally, the Spring Festival is more than a vocation but a tradition we must value and pass down from generation to generation. Every time I go home, I will have a heart-to-heart talk with my parents. I also enjoy the ceremony like making jiaozi and appreciating lanterns. (127 words)
