11．It was the afternoon of December 24，the day before Christmas； and as the newest doctor in our office，I had to work．The only thing that brightened my day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow I was dating-a dozen long-stemmed red roses．
As I was cleaning my office，I was told a lady urgently needed to speak with me．As I stepped out，I noticed a young，tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms．Nervously，she explained that her husband-a prisoner in a nearby prison-was my next patient．She told me she wasn't allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son．Her request was for me to let the boy's father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before I called him for his appointment．Since my schedule wasn't full，I agreed．After all，it was Christmas Eve．
A short time later，her husband arrived-with chains on his feet and hands，and two armed guards as bodyguards．The woman's tired face lit up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her．I kept glancing out to watch them laugh，cry and share their child．After almost an hour，I called the prisoner back to my office．The patient seemed like a gentle and modest man．I wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions．I tried to make him as comfortable as possible．
At the end of the appointment，I wished him a Merry Christmas，a difficult thing to say to a man headed back to prison．He smiled and thanked me．He also said he felt saddened by the fact he hadn't been able to get his wife anything for Christmas．On hearing this，I was inspired with a wonderful idea．
I'll never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful，long-stemmed roses．I'm not sure who experienced the most joy-the husband in giving，the wife in receiving，or myself in having the opportunity to share in this special moment．
67．What can be inferred from the first paragraph？D
A．The writer was a newcomer to her office．
B．A fellow sent her a dozen red roses as Christmas present．
C．She was at work with a light heart．
D．She was in low spirits because she had to work before Christmas．

A．having her baby examined
B．having her husband examined
C．getting a chance for her family to get together

A．to be sent to hospital

点评 人物故事类阅读理解文章是高考英语常考材料之一．这类文章一般可分为人物传记和短篇故事两类．这两类阅读材料一般较长，即词数多，而且命题也较多，特别是推理判断题和事实细节题多．在做此类阅读理解题时往往是材料看得懂，题目不好做的感觉．因此，在阅读材料时要重点放在事情发展的过程和结果上，注意把握事件的发展进程及人物之间的关系，细节与主题的关系，用以说明人物性格特点的事实、作者的态度等，这些内容往往是推理判断题的命题点．至于事实细节题的解答，同学们切忌想当然或者凭印象，一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择．

1．It is common to have difficulties sleeping during the day．Humans are naturally wired to sleep best at night and be awake during the day．However，modern work schedules require some people to try to accommodate the unnatural schedule of shift（轮班）work-being awake at night and sleeping during the day．
In order to make this adjustment，you need to pay special attention to your sleep environment and your preparation for sleep．If shift work is a necessary part of your work life，here are some suggestions that may help．
Arrange to sleep uninterrupted in a quiet，dark room．This means you may have to turn off or unplug your phone，hang darkening curtains on the windows or wear a sleep eye mask，and train your family and friends to leave you alone while you sleep．
Fit in a nap（小睡）．When your daytime sleep period is too short，taking a short nap of less than 30 minutes just before work or on a break has been shown to improve alertness and enhance performance．
Develop and follow a sleep routine．It's best if you go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day．Try not to vary this too much on weekends．Your body likes routine．
Take extra care to make healthy choices．You may be tempted to reach for unhealthy foods or nicotine to stay awake or alcohol to try to sleep．But ultimately these choices are more harmful than helpful．
If you have tried all these things and are still having problems getting enough quality sleep during the day，talk to your doctor or a sleep specialist．Sometimes medications（药物治疗）may be helpful and safe．In other cases，there may be an underlying sleep disorder that needs to be addressed．

2．In my early 30s，I used an expired（过期的） student ID to buy discounted movie tickets．I'd tell myself，I'm buying a ticket I wouldn't have otherwise bought．I think many people have done similar things； however，we still think of ourselves as honest citizens．Researchers who study these behaviours believe that character isn't the real reason．We might break the rules under some conditions and in some mind-sets，but not in others．
Years ago，Francesca Gino，a professor at Harvard，and Dan Ariely，a behavioural economist at Duke，wondered if people with highter IQs were more likely to cheat．They found that cleverness wasn't closely connected to dishonesty，but creativity was．The more creative you are，the easier it is to retell the story of what happened when you behaved dishonestly．
Harvard University psychologist Joshua Greene argues in his book Moral Tribe that we may be born without having a clear sense of right and wrong，but our culture sharpens it．If your tribe downloads pirated（盗版）music，you're likely to go with the flow．
Harvard researcher Leslie John，along with two colleagues conducted an experiment．They told volunteers that others in the room were making more money than they were for getting questions right on a test．Guess what happened？That group，which considered itself disadvantaged，cheated more than those who believed that everyone received an equal payment．
The real threat is that rule breaking worsens over time．Behavioural psychology offers a few antidotes．Keep yourself fed and well-rested-we're likelier to bebave badly when hungry or tied．Reflect on how your actions look through others'eyes and see yourselves in a positive light．In a Stanford study，when researchers uesd the verb cheat-please don't cheat-participants still cheated freely because they felt distanced （疏远）from the act．When the noun was used-don't be a cheater-hardly anyone did．
28．According to Francesca Gino，who are likeliest to break the rules in a company？B
A．Accountants．B．Designers       C．Cleaners．D．Typists．
29．Why did volunteers in Leslie John's experiment cheat more than others？C
A．Because they were not as smart as others．
B．Because they thought others cheated too．
C．Because they felt a sense of unfairness．
D．Because they were tired and hungry．
30．The underlined word"antidotes"in the last paragraph canbe replaced byB．
A．explanations．B．solutions        C．studies         D．novels．
31．What's the best title for the text？A
A．Why people break the rules．
B．How people break the rules．
C．The influence of breaking the rules．
D．Different ways of breaking the rules．
19．After Dinner Car Troubles
A complaint was received by the president of a major car company："This is the fourth time I have written to you，and I don't blame you for not answering me because I must sound crazy，but it is a fact that we have a tradition in our family of having ice cream for dessert after dinner each night．Every night after we've eaten，the family votes on which flavor of ice cream we should have and I drive down to the store to get it．I recently purchased a new Pantsmobile from your company and since then my trips to the store have created a problem．You see，every time I buy vanilla（香草） ice-cream my car won't start．If I get any other kind of ice-cream，the car starts just fine．I want you to know I'm serious about this question，no matter how silly it sounds：What is there about a Pantsmobile that makes it not start when I get vanilla ice-cream，and easy to start whenever I get any other kind？"
The Pantsmobile company president understandably doubted about the letter，but he sent an engineer there anyway．The engineer had arranged to meet the man just after dinner time，so the two got into the car and drove to the grocery store．The man bought vanilla ice-cream that night and，sure enough，after they came back to the car it wouldn't start for several minutes，the engineer returned for three more nights．The first night，the man got chocolate．The car started right away．The second night，he got strawberry and again the car started right up．The third night he bought vanilla and the car failed to start．
There must be a logical reason why the man's car wouldn't start when he bought vanilla ice-cream．What was it？After doing more research into the case，the engineer eventually found out the cause．Vanilla ice-cream was the most popular flavor and was on display in a little case near the express check out，while the other flavors were in the back of the store and took more time to select and check out．This mattered because the man's car was experiencing vapor （蒸汽） lock，which is excess （过度的） heat boiling the fuel in the fuel line and the resulting air bubbles（气泡） blocking the flow of fuel until the car has enough time to cool．When the car was running，there was enough pressure to move the bubbles along，but not when the car was trying to start．
Moral of the story：Sometimes even crazy-sounding problems are real．A better moral：Chocolate ice-cream cures vapor lock．

28．What can we know from the first paragraph？B
A．The family ate more ice-cream than other food at dinner．
B．The company had paid less attention to the man's complaints．
C．The man drove the second-hand Pantsmobile to buy desserts．
D．Whenever the man bought chocolates，he couldn't start the car．
29．After several letter complaints，the car company sent an engineer toA．
A．check the problem out          
B．warn the man not to make trouble
C．repair the problem car          
D．drive the car for him
30．Which was the right order that caused the car problem？A
A．excess heat→boiling the fuel→creating air bubbles→block the flow of fuel
B．creating air bubbles→excess heat→boiling the fuel→block the flow of fuel
C．block the flow of fuel→excess heat→boiling the fuel→creating air bubbles
D．creating air bubbles→boiling the fuel→excess heat→block the flow of fuel
31．The author really wants to tell us thatD．
A．chocolate ice cream can settle a car problem
B．buying a popular ice-cream may lead to problems
C．car companies should be more responsible
D．what doesn't seem sensible sometimes exists．

18．A cold and wet summer across the UK has caused a"dramatic fall"in the amount of honey produced by British bees，a survey of beekeepers has revealed．
Yields are down 72% compared to 2011，research by the British Beekeepers'Association （BBKA） suggested．The majority of those surveyed said the rain and cold weather was the main reason the harvest was poor．More than 2，700beekeepers in England，Wales and Northern Ireland were surveyed in the BBKA's annual Honey Survey．The honey harvest was lowest in London，where hives produced an average of 2.5kg of honey．In Northern Ireland，hives yielded the highest average of 11.7kg of honey-but the figure is only half the amount normally produced by bees in the area．Earlier this year，the cold and wet conditions forced the organization to issue a mid-summer warning to feed honey bee colonies with sugar syrup if necessary to avoid starvation．
A hard summer in 2012may mean there are fewer honey bees in 2013．Honey bees produce honey as a food store．Normally，this store would be enough to see them through the winter months．The BBKA warned the worst may be yet to come，as a lack of food for bees and wet conditions mean breeding queens have been unable to produce a large enough brood to see colonies through the winter．Bad weather in spring prevented honey bees in many areas from collecting nectar （花蜜） from early flowering crops such as oil seed rape，and the rain continued in many places throughout June and July preventing honey bees from feeding on later crops．
In London，where yields were hardest hit，beekeeping experts said that in addition to the bad weather there was a lack of food for bees in the city．Angela Woods，secretary of the London Beekeepers'Association，said："Rather than putting beehives on office roofs，we encourage companies in London who want to help to look at different ways of supporting bees and beekeepers．
Tim Lovett，the BBKA's public affairs director said，"there has been greater emphasis on"training and developing"beekeepers in recent years．We need more resources to put into training，education and bee health research，to continue to support our honey bees and other pollinators．Well trained beekeepers are better equipped to deal with the adverse conditions we have seen this year．Without training，this year's situation might have been a lot worse．

65．Which of the following may have the closest meaning to the underlined word"colonies"in P2？D
A．areas
B．territories
C．possessions
D．groups
66．What is the most probable cause of a great decline in honey yield？C
A．Bees are not well kept．
B．Bees can not adapt the natural change．
