    Mom had a two-week   23   in summer. While we enjoyed our holiday in Southeast Texas, we didn’t realize the fact that Ike   24   cause months and likely years of “labor”.

    As Ike pushed farther inland, we   33   power in Lufkin. On Sunday, our next-door neighbor told us via cell phone that our   34   had remained well. Our hopes could not have been   35  .

We wouldn’t be allowed to return home   38   September 17th. I climbed upstairs, and looked toward the hole in the roof which showed a beautiful blue sky.
Without hesitation, I shouted, “Wow! A third skylight!”

第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，共50分）
第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
There are many people you are well advised to treat kindly: Your child’s teacher, your husband or wife, your boss and so on.
    Until now, that best-behavior-required list has not included your Uber driver, or for that matter, taxi drivers. Old thinking: Hey, they’re here to serve me. I don’t have to make a special effort to be nice to them.
   Dangerously wrong.
   A recent New York Times story told the instructive tale of a Uber passenger, Hussein Kanji, who says he’s really not sure how he made his driver angry. All he knows is that his driver-generated rating went way down and the wait for a Uber car became hours instead of minutes.
   Beware, Uberians: If you’re feeling angry when you slide into the back seat and you give your driver the silent treatment, your reputation may get damaged in the driver-generated ratings. If you’re among the people one Uber driver described as “generally negative”, watch out.
   Uber isn’t the only front on this battlefield. The ability to rate someone’s service is one of the successes of the Internet. It helps everyone weed out people with bad attitudes and worse habits.
   These ratings should cut both ways. A while back, the auction site eBay made many of its sellers angry when it started preventing them from giving negative ratings to buyers. Until then, sellers and buyers had threatened each other with negative reviews. Too many negative reviews could get you thrown off.
   Then eBay shifted the balance of power to buyers. Sellers can still write a bad comment, but the overall rating cannot be anything but positive. Thus eBay has become a place where all is for the best. Think positive!
    We know that being nice to people all day can be exhausting. We’ve also seen people who shout at those who don’t measure up to their expectations for service.
   Uber is reportedly about to spread worldwide. It is a welcome competitor because it fits the needs of customers in a new way. We know Uber is a two-way street. But drivers who get too picky may end up with no passengers.
   Everyone, behave!
41. In general, people think of Uber drivers as people who ________.
A. they can take advantage of B. they don’t have to be nice to
    C. are required to be on their best behavior D. need better treatment from customers
42. Negative driver-generated ratings mean that ________.
    A. customers have to wait for a longer time when using Uber cars
    B. drivers are too slow to pick up customers
    C. Uber drivers will never serve those customers
D. customers have done damage to Uber cars
43. The phrase “weed out” (Para. 6) can best be replaced by _____.
 A. hate             B. get rid of           C. value           D. win back
44. The example of eBay in the article is probably meant to show that ________.
A. in the Internet age, buyers have always had the advantage of ratings
B. the power of ratings should be given to both sides of a service
C. the main reason why eBay has become a successful auction site
D. controversy between customers and sellers has only come about recently
45. The author has written this article to ________.
A. show that when using services like Uber, your behavior directly affects the service you get
B. prove that giving and receiving bad ratings can influence your life
C. suggest that tools like Uber and eBay can reflect what kind of person you are
D. stress that both customers and service providers should be generally respectful and positive

C
Computer power is moving into the “cloud” — networks of data centers that use the Internet to supply all kinds of services, from e-mail and social networks to data storage and analysis.
The rise of cloud computing is rapid and causing huge changes in the tech industry. The old guard is suffering: this week’s $67 billion merger (合并) between Dell and EMC, makers of computers and storage devices respectively, was a marriage forced by the rise of the cloud. Disruptive (捣乱的) newcomers are blooming: if Amazon’s cloud-computing unit were a stand-alone public company, it would probably be worth almost as much as Dell and EMC combined.
The gains for customers have been equally dramatic. Compared with older IT systems, cloud computing is often much cheaper. It adds tremendous flexibility: firms that need more computing capacity no longer have to spend weeks adding new servers and installing software. In the cloud they can get hold of it in minutes. Their applications can be updated continually, rather than just every few months. Individual users can reach their e-mails, files and photos from any device. And cloud services also tend to be more secure, since providers know better than their customers how to protect their computing systems against hackers.
But cloud computing makes one problem worse. In the old IT world, once a firm or a consumer had decided on an operating system or database, it was difficult and costly to switch to another. In the cloud this “lock-in” is even worse. Cloud providers go to great lengths to make it easy to upload data. They accumulate huge amounts of complex information, which cannot easily be moved to an alternative provider.   
Cloud firms also create a world of interconnected services, software and devices, which is convenient but only for as long as you don’t adventure outside their universe. Being locked in to a provider is risky. Firms can start to tighten the screws by increasing prices. If a cloud provider goes bust (崩溃), its customers may have trouble getting back their data.
These risks have already caused a debate about whether the cloud needs stricter regulation. Some European politicians want to force cloud providers to ensure that data can be moved between them. That is too heavy-handed, because strict rules will inhibit (阻碍) innovation in what is still a young industry. The history of computing suggests that common standards may well appear naturally in response to customers’ demands — just as in personal computers, where it is now much easier to use the same files on different systems. 高考英语模拟试题库  
In the meantime, a few commonsense measures can reduce the risk of lock-in. Firms that use more than one cloud provider to host their data are less affected. So are those that keep their most important information in their own data centers. Consumers can take precautions, too. Some services are better than others at enabling users to move data between providers (Google does well on this score). Cloud computing promises its users many benefits, but don’t mistake it for some sort of digital heaven.
50. The author takes “the merger between Dell and EMC” for example to show ________.
   A. the influence of cloud computing on computer and storage device makers
   B. the miserable sufferings of old computer companies
   C. the rapid development of new computer companies
   D. the interaction between old companies and newcomers
51. With wide applications of cloud computing customers can ________.
   A. pay less for the older IT systems    B. gain more computing capacity quickly
   C. know better about defeating the hackers       D. install software within weeks
52. The problem of “lock-in” can be dangerous because ________.
   A. it can make data easily be moved to another provider
   B. it can create a network of services connected with devices
   C. it may make it difficult for customers to recover their data
   D. it will discourage an argument about stricter rules
53. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that ________.
   A. the European politicians’ advice is perfect
   B. customers’ demands play a role in setting standards
   C. lock-in is caused by firms’ storing information in their own centers
   D. Google enables users to provide services and move data
54. Which of the following sayings can best express the main idea of the passage?
   A. Everything has its time and that time must be watched.
   B. The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence.
   C. A candle lights others and consumes itself.

D
“Why do we have to learn all this dumb stuff?”
Of all the complaints and questions I have heard from my students during my years in the classroom, this was the one most frequently asked. I would answer it by telling the following legend.
One night a group of nomads (游牧民) were preparing to retire for the evening when suddenly they were surrounded by a great light. They knew they were in the presence of a godly being. With great expectation, they awaited a heavenly message of great importance that they knew must be especially for them.
Finally, the voice spoke, “Gather as many pebbles (鹅卵石) as you can. Put them in your bags. Travel a day’s journey and tomorrow night will find you glad and it will find you sad.”
The nomads shared their disappointment and anger with each other. They had expected the inspiration of a great universal truth that would enable them to create wealth, health and purpose for the world. But instead they were given a silly task that made no sense to them at all. However, the memory of the brilliance of their visitor caused each one to pick up a few pebbles and store them in their bags while voicing their displeasure.
They traveled a day’s journey and that night while making camp, they reached into their bags and discovered every pebble they had gathered had become a diamond. They were glad they had diamonds. They were sad they had not gathered more pebbles.
It was an experience I had with a student, whom I shall call Alan, early in my teaching career that illustrated the truth of that legend to me.
When Alan was in the eighth grade, he majored in “trouble” with a minor in “suspensions (停学)”. He had studied how to be a bully and was getting his master’s degree in “thievery”.
Every day I had my students memorize a quotation from a great thinker. As I called the roll (点名), I would begin a quotation. To be counted present, the student would be expected to finish the thought.
“Alice Adams — ‘There is no failure except...’ ”
“ ‘In no longer trying.’ I’m present, Mr. Schlatter.”
So, by the end of the year, my young pupils would have memorized 150 great thoughts.
“People nowadays know the price of everything and the value of nothing.”
“No pains, no gains.”
“If you can conceive it, and believe it, you can achieve it.”
No one complained about this daily routine other than Alan — right up to the day he was expelled (开除) and I lost touch with him for five years. Then one day, he called. He was in a special program at one of the neighboring colleges and had just finished parole（假释）.
He told me that after being sent to juvenile hall (少管所) and finally being shipped off to the California Youth Authority for his wrong doings, he had become so disgusted with himself that he had taken a razor blade and cut his wrists.
He said, “You know what, Mr. Schlatter, as I lay there with my life running out of my body, I suddenly remembered that quote you made me write 20 times one day. “There is no failure except in no longer trying.” Then it suddenly made sense to me. As long as I was alive, I wasn’t a failure, but if I allowed myself to die, I would most certainly die a failure. So with my remaining strength, I called for help and started a new life.”
At the time he had heard the quotation, it was a pebble. When he needed guidance in a moment of crisis, it had become a diamond. And so it is to you, I say, gather all the pebbles you can, and you can count on a future filled with diamonds.
55. What does the underlined sentence “it will find you sad” (Para. 4) mean?
   A. The God told the nomads to gather pebbles that made no sense to them.
   B. The pebbles won’t enable the nomads to create fortune.
   C. The God didn’t give the nomads the message they expected.
   D. The nomads regretted not having gathered as many pebbles as possible.
56. Which of following sentences from the passage brings out the author’s sense of humor?
   A. They were given a silly task that made no sense to them at all. (Para. 5)
   B. He majored in “trouble” with a minor in “suspensions”. (Para. 8)
   C. People nowadays know the price of everything and the value of nothing. (Para. 13)
   D. You can count on a future filled with diamonds. (Para. 19)
57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
   A. Not all the nomads gathered and stored some pebbles in their bags.
   B. Students who finished the half-sentence quotation were counted present.
   C. All students don’t like the daily routine of finishing the half-sentence quotation.
   D. It was the strong faith of never dying a failure that saved Alan’s life.
58. Why did Alan want to kill himself after being shipped off to the California Youth Authority?
   A. He hated the hard life in the juvenile hall.
   B. He was expelled by the school in the end.
   C. He was badly treated at the California Youth Authority.
   D. He felt so disappointed and hopeless about himself and his future.
59. According to the passage, we can conclude that Mr. Schlatter is an educator of ________.[:.]
   A. sympathy and kindness                    B. wisdom and patience
   C. generosity and creativity                   D. faith and devotion
60. Which of the following may probably be the best title?
   A. A Naughty Trouble-marker                 B. Pebbles and Nomads
   C. The Magic Pebble                        D. A Quotation that Saved Life

第二节：下面文章中有5处(第61～65题)需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. Control of Respiration
B. Basic Tips for Preserving Cut Flowers
C. Role of Respiration
D. Most Important Aspect of Flower Care
E. Need for Clean Water
F. Ways of Stopping Respiration
61. __________
While everybody enjoys fresh cut flowers around his house, few people know how to keep them for as long as possible. This may be done by keeping in mind a few simple facts. The key to keeping fresh cut flowers for a week or more without floral preservatives (which contain biocides that kill bacteria and fungus) is to keep the water fresh and the stems free of air pockets so they can continue to draw up water.
62. __________
An important thing to remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperature. For example, studies have shown that cut carnations (康乃馨) retain their freshness eight times longer when kept at 12℃ than when kept at 26℃. Keeping freshly harvested flowers at the right temperatures is probably the most important aspect of flower care.
63. __________
Flowers are not intended by nature to live very long. Their biological purpose is simply to attract birds or insects, such as bees, for pollination (授粉). After that, they quickly dry up and die. The process by which flowers consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide, called respiration (呼吸), generates the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape and color. The making of seeds also depends on this energy. While all living things respire, flowers have a high level of respiration. A result of all this respiration is heat, and for flowers the level of heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high. Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower. Thus the greater the level of respiration, the sooner the flower dies.
64. __________
How, then, to control the rate at which flowers die? By controlling respiration. How is respiration controlled? By controlling temperature. We know that respiration produces heat, but the reverse is also true. Thus by maintaining low temperatures, respiration is reduced and the cut flower will age more slowly.
65. __________
Another vital factor in keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in which they are placed. Flowers find it difficult to “drink” water that is dirty or otherwise polluted. Even when water looks and smells clean, it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers. To rid the water of these unwanted substances, household chlorine bleach (含氯漂白剂) can be used in small quantities. It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach (at 4% solution) be added to each liter of water. The water and solution should also be replaced each day.

第二节：书面表达（满分30分）
Possible version:
Dear Sir /Madam,
Learning that you are organizing this activity to share books worldwide, I am writing to apply for it for the simple reason that I love reading and I own a large number of books, which I want to share with other book lovers.
You’ve introduced two ways to share books: wild release and controlled release. Of the two, the latter wins my favor. By the means of controlled release, I only need to deliver books to other participants, not only are books shared but it can build up a bridge connecting readers from different parts of the world as well.
If you could provide more specific information, I would be well grateful. Looking forward to your reply.[:]
                                                                       Yours
                                                                       Li Hua
