I was riding with some friends, and a bottle was passed around the car. Everyone was taking swigs(一大口). When the bottle got to me, I thought: “What should I do?” I took a swig. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I had to drive home later that night.I went back to my car, got in and drove off. At a stop sign I saw a policeman sitting in the parking lot across the street. His headlights were turned on, and I knew he was going to follow me. Then he flashed his lights at me. All I could think was: “Oh no, that swig!”I pulled over and waited for him to come to my door. It felt like forever. “Can I see your license and registration, please, Miss?” I gave them to him. He took them and went back to his car for a while. When he returned, he asked if I had been drinking.“No,” I said. He asked me to step out of my car.“Walk heel to toe down the white line, please.” I passed the test. Next he had me stand on my left foot, lift my right foot and hold it for 30 seconds. I’m not the most coordinated (动作协调的) person and I can’t even walk and chew gum at the same time, so, needless to say, I didn’t pass. Then he asked me to take a breathalyzer test.That was where I messed up. I told him I didn’t want to and didn’t understand why I had to. The officer asked me three more times, and I continued to refuse. He told me to turn around and place my hands behind my back. He arrested me right then and there.The policeman drove me to a police station 20 minutes from my home. He called my parents and told them where I was.I went to court two months after that, charged with refusing to obey an officer. I got a $700 (4,340 yuan) fine and 40 hours of community service. I’ll be on probation (缓刑) for a year, and I’ll have to take the driving test again. I lost my license for a whole year.This was a huge learning experience for me. It opened my eyes to how easy it is to make a stupid decision. I want everyone reading this to know that it’s not right to drink and drive. It definitely isn’t worth losing your license over.36．According to the first paragraph, we may know that the author __________.A. forgot she had to drive home later when riding with her friendsB. would rather she had not accepted to drink that night.C. felt just one mouthful would not affect her drivingD. could not find out her driving license on the way37．Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A. The author was in prison for 40 hours and had to do something about community service.B. The author considered that her punishment shouldn’t be so serious.C. The author was really sorry that she had made such a serious mistake.D. The author believed she would have avoided punishment if she had followed the policeman. 38．What is the main purpose of the article?A. To warn people against driving after drinking.B. To explain how policemen test drivers.C. To show that severe punishment works.D. To blame the author’s thoughtless friends.BIt’s no secret that doing good makes others happy – but did you know it can make you happy as well?According to a study, people participating in meaningful activities were happier and felt that their lives had more purpose than people who only engaged in pleasure-seeking behaviors.Try giving these four things to others to start your journey to a happier and healthier lifestyle. Your TimeWith a busy life, it can be hard to find any time to give away. However, volunteering your time has great benefits, including making new friends and connections, learning new skills and even advancing your career.According to a paper about the link between health and volunteering, volunteering is connected with lower instances of depression and reduces the risk of dying by 22 percent.Your AttentionMost of us think we’re good listeners, but according to psychologist Paul Donoghue, most people are aware that others d on’t listen as well as they could. In addition, they’re not fully aware that they themselves aren’t listening.When practicing mindfulness meditation(正念禅修), you focus on what you experience in the moment and let your thoughts and emotions pass through without judgment. Did you know that giving someone your undivided attention helps you also? When done well, active listening strengthens your focus－which is a major part of good meditation.Your CompassionThe psychological meaning of compassion is the ability to understand another person’s emotional state. Compassion differs from empathy(移情) in that those who experience compassion not only put themselves in another person’s shoes, but also want to reduce that person’s suffering.A brain-imaging study showed that the brain’s pleasure centers are equally active when we give money to the poor as when we receive money ourselves.Your MoneyAccording to an experiment, those who spend money on other people are significantly happier than those who spend the same quantity of money on themselves.Whether or not you can offer other gifts, donating money helps make real change happen. It represents time spent, compassion and careful attention to the needs of others.39．Who is the happiest according to the study mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. Bill, who is often invited to play golf by his wealthy uncle.B. Tom, who is on the way to be the richest man in the world.C. Mike, who is not well-off but often does what he can to those in need.D. John, who is a disabled young man but has married a verybeautiful girl.40．What does the underlined word “depression” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. pleasureB. unhappinessC. connectionD. misunderstanding 41．Which of the four gifts matters most according to the author?A. Time.B. Money.C. Attention.D. Compassion. 42．What is the purpose of the passage?A. To encourage people to help others.B. To give the meaning of “happiness”.C. To offer a practical way of life.D. To show his kindness.CAs every computer owner knows, when their machines run a complex program they get pretty hot. In fact, cooling the processors can be expensive, especially when you're dealing with huge banks of computer servers. But what if that energy could heat private homes? A Dutch energy firm aims to do just that.Data centers of large Internet firms, such as Google, Apple, Microsoft and others, contain thousands of computer servers. As they process information they generate enormous amounts of heat requiring cooling towers that dissipate it into the atmosphere.A Dutch firm thinks paying for electricity to run the servers and then paying again to cool them is a waste of energy. Boaz Leupe, CEO of the start-up Nerdalize, says it’s actually quite simple."We don't actually have to build the data center, which saves a lot of costs in infrastructure and we don't have the cooling overhead, plus that you have the environmental benefit, that the kilowatt hour you are using is used twice, once to heat the home and once to compute the clients task without the cooling overhead," says Leupe.The company developed what it calls an e-Radiator, a computer server that also works as an alternative heating source. Leupe says that five Dutch homeowners are experimentally using them in their homes.“We reimburse the electricity the server uses, and that we can do because of the computer clients on the other side, and, in that way, home owners actually get heating for free, and computer users don't have to pay for the overhead of the data center,” says Leupe.One of the participants in the year-long experiment, Jan Visser, says the amount of heat produced by e-Radiator depends on the work being done by the server’s processors so it cannot be used as the primary source. But he is ready to try it.“If it gives good enough warmth, you can use less of your existing central heating, and there is the chance for a home owner to pay less bills.”Nerdalize says e-Radiators generate temperature of up to 55 degrees Celsius and could save up to $440 in annual heating costs.43．Which one is true according to the passage？A. It is expensive to deal with huge banks of computer servers.B.A Dutch energy firm attempted to heat private homes.C. Computer servers generate large quantities of heat.D. The cooling tower is a waste of energy.44．The underlined phrase “overhead” in the third paragraph probably means______.A. daily costB. fixtureC. foreheadD. method45．What is NOT true about e-Radiator according to the passage?A. It is a computer server used as an alternative heating source.B. It has been launched onto the market.C. It is environmentally friendly.D. It can save users’ money.46．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage ?A.A New Kind of Data ServersB. Data Servers Could Heat Private HomesC. How to Heat the Private Homes with ComputersD. An Alternative Heating SourceDChildren love to play and laugh throughout their days at school or at home. Finding the time to laugh with your children may be the best thing you can do for the relationship. Encourage your children to develop a good humor by laughing at the jokes they make up on the spot. This will help them grow confident and build their self-esteem. If you do not get the joke, you can ask why they think the joke is funny.Honest feedback will help your children develop funnier jokes. You can take them to your local library and have them pick up a few joke books. Then you can head back home or out to the park and read it together for a good laugh. You can take turns reading jokes to each other from the book or make up a few yourselves. But if they make a joke at the expense of another person, you may want to discuss the difference between making fun of yourself and making fun of others. In turn try not to make jokes at your children’s expense, you need to set an example that they can follow. Learning to laugh at oneself is a great quality to attain. You can set an example by laughing at your own mistakes. This is a great way to help reduce your own stress as well as your children’s. Laughing may make the situation seem lighter and easier to work through. By doing this your children will be better prepared to handle any difficulties.Most importantly laughing will bring you closer together as a family. You can have your family find different ways to laugh. You can play games. You can start a staring contest, arm wrestling contest, thumb wars contest and have a prize for the winners. You can all watch your best funny movies and act out the best parts together after enjoying them. You could hold a contest to see who can make the other members of the family laugh more by doing something funny. Kids will be able to enjoy the good time they had with their parents. The family that laughs together stays together!47．If you often play and laugh with your children, you can_______ .A. develop a good humorB. become proud and confidentC. make up some funny jokesD. get along well with each other48．The underlined word “them” refers to _______.A. funny jokesB. interesting booksC. your childrenD. the family49．We can infer that when your children make mistakes you should_____ .A. teach them to laugh at the mistakesB. blame them seriouslyC. punish them at onceD. tell them to do better in future50．The author advises in Para.4 that people make their family members laugh by_______ .A. having a partyB. having some kinds of contestsC. doing some houseworkD. reading joke books51．What can be the best title for the text?A. The More You laugh, the Better You’ll BeB. Laughing Every Day Is SimpleC. How to Laugh in Everyday LifeD. Laughter Is Good for Your FamilyEDyslexia is a learning disorder, it interferes with the ability to recognize words, and for some readers to understand what they have read. Experts say dyslexia affects about five to ten percent of the population of the United States. Researchers have long known that people with dyslexia write or read words and letters backwards in the wrong order.But a new study shows that people with dyslexia may have trouble redirecting their attention between senses, from seeing something to hearing something. The study suggests something that might help dyslexic people learn more quickly - play video games.Vanessa Harrar of Britain’s University of Oxford led the study. She reported the findings in the journal Current Biology. The study suggests that dyslexic people may have trouble moving quickly from what they read to what they hear.In the study, Doctor Harrar tested 17 people with dyslexia and 19 others without reading problems. The volunteers were asked to push a button as quickly as possible when they heard a sound, saw a light or experienced both together. Doctor Harrar compared the speed of their reactions. She foundthat people with dyslexia were just as fast as the others when they saw only a picture or heard only a sound. But the Dyslexics had a slower reaction time when they heard a sound and saw a picture at the same time, this may have an effect on how dyslexic children are taught how to read. Doctor Harrar feels like playing video games could help dyslexic people shift from seeing to hearing more quickly. She adds that images in video games force the eyes to move and focus quickly. “Video game types of things pop out of here and there, they move your eyes around the screen quite quickly in response to things quite quickly, and the more you play a video game the faster you get that kind of thing. So, the video game is really training the attention system to move quickly,” said Harrar. When children learn the alphabet, they usually see the letter first and then hear the sound, or they see and hear the letter at the same time. The study shows that Dyslexics might learn more quickly if they hear the sound of a letter or word first before seeing it. 52．According to Doctor Harrar’s study, the dyslexic people have difficulty in______.A. recognizing wordsB. reading words backwardsC. writing letters in orderD. shifting from seeing to hearing53．Which factor affects the way dyslexic children are taught to read?A. They react more slowly to a single picture or sound.B. They react as fast as others to a single picture or sound.C. It takes them longer to react to sounds and pictures together.D. It is difficult for them to understand before seeing the word.54．How does the author suggest Dyslexics are taught based on the research finding?A. By putting hearing previous to seeing.B. By training the attention on games.C. By seeing first and then hearing later.D. By moving the eyes around the screen. 55．What can be the best title of the passage?A. Video Games Might Help DyslexicsB. Dyslexia Affects Attention between SensesC. Video Games Can Train the Attention SystemD. Dyslexics Might Learn Better through Sound第II卷（非选择题）四、语法填空：共10题每题1分共10分A man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight 56 he became angry when the child tried to decorate a box 57 (put) under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl 58 (bring) the gift to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.”The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out 59 box was empty.

Only a short time later, an accident took the life 64 the child. For many years, her father kept that gold box by his bed and 65 he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.五、短文改错：共10分66．In the summer holiday, we traveled to Qingdao and paid visit to my uncle there.

However, a young South African man has come up with an interesting alternative—he spends his days spreading the joy of reading and selling books written by his favorite authors．He is Philani Dladla , who is known as Pavement Bookworm.While people don't know much about how the 24-year-old became a homeless man and how long he has been selling books on the streets, the world's attention has been focused on the young man recently. Thanks to an interview conducted by South African director, TebogoMalope.In the video named Pavement Bookworm, the cheerful Dladla talks about his passion(热爱) for books and how reading helped keep him away from a life of drugs and live a different life. The well-spoken young man also talks about his favorite authors and clearly appreciates what makes him a fan of each one of them.Not surprisingly, after Malope uploaded the "Pavement Bookworm" video on YouTube. Dladla has become a celebrity(名人). In addition to being interviewed by other journalists, he has also received several job offers and even a visit from Steven Sidley, the author of Entanglement who hand-delivered(人工递送) his latest book to the enthusiastic reader.The best thing is that this newly found fame has led to a business boom. Locals now go out of their way to seek Dladla for book discussions and most importantly to buy his recommendations. What' s heart-warming is that despite being hardly able to make ends meet，Dladla does not accept money from children who are interested in getting a book from him. In order to keep up with theincreased demand，Malope is collecting book donations on behalf of the cheerful young man whose mission(使命) in life is to spread his passion for reading!36．Dladla is different from other homeless people in that_____.A.he is making a living by selling books on the streetB.he is the only person who has changed the worldC.he depends on the money from others to surviveD.he has been interviewed by famous reporters37．What can we learn about Dladla in the video named Pavement Bookworm?A.The young man was used to taking drugs.B.He makes comments on different authors worldwide.C.The young man was good at giving speech after reading.D.Reading has offered him an opportunity to get improved.38．How has the video influenced Dladla according to the passage?A.Many famous authors have decided to give him books free of charge.B.He has always been surrounded by many readers with interest.C.He has become a figure interviewed and visited by others.D.His story has been well described in a famous book.39．Which of the following words can best describe Dladla?A.Ambitious.B.Creative.C.Passionate.D.DeterminedBWhy are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation (积累)in your body.Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes (酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity(肥胖). When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food movesslowly through the digestive tract(消化道), where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens(过敏原) and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common. To stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize(中和) the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balan ce. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach. 40．It can be inferred from Para.2 that __________.A.foods with natural enzymes help people keep fitB.we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foodsC.it is essential for people to protect their vital organsD.giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle41．Processed foods are unhealthy because they __________.A.destroy body’s cellsB.may lead to obesityC.are difficult to digestD.stop body’s metabolism42．What is the main purpose of this passage?A.To warn people of the problem of obesity.B.To advocate (提倡) eating more raw and whole foods.C.To inform people of the harm of processed foods.D.To tell the differences between raw and processed foods.43．What is likely to be talked about following the last paragraph?A.Different causes of acid accumulation.B.Correct ways to cook raw foods.C.Suitable types of raw and whole foods.D.Active approaches to avoid acid.CA survey sponsored by an international temporary service agency found that U. S. managers believe that people with a sense of humor do better at their jobs, compared with those who have little or no sense of humor. In fact, about 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humor do better.The survey went on to point out that the results suggest that a sense of humor may helplight-hearted employees keep their jobs during tough times. And, what's more, it may push them up the corporate ladder past their humorless colleagues.Why? It seems that those with a sense of humor are better communicators and better team players. Studies have shown that happy workers are more productive. In fact, a researcher at California State University found that humor could help the employees to release tension.Research done by psychologist Dr. Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia showed that humor helps us think. When people feel stuck on important projects, they tend to feel angry or depressed. According to Dr. Trice's research, taking time out to laugh can help us to get rid of negative feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaffected by past defeat.If humor is really this important, then why don't we use it more often on the job? Most likely, the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humor in the workplace. They tend to think humor and laughter are unproductive or unprofessional, or perhaps both. However, it is important to realize that some humor is not suitable for the workplace, and that it is often used at wrong times.44．Most people think a sense of humor can ________.A.help you to do your work betterB.make you have a rich lifeC.make you pleased with your workD.help you to make more friends45．Many people don't use humor more in the workplace because __________.A.they like keeping silent when workingB.they don't know the positive effects of humorC.they think they should obey the rulesD.they don't like joking or laughing46．A person with a sense of humor is easier __________.A.to feel surprisedB.to get along withC.to be worriedD.to be successful47．What is the main idea of the passage?A.People with a Sense of Humor.B.Humor Is Important in the Workplace.C.Humor and Humorless.D.Everyone Likes Humor.DA new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern Eng land. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children’s safety on the roads.Until now the local government has only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school.The new plan is to be fired out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government said in the past that they would not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school’s headmaster. Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than ￡20 a term. They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make one morejourney to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.48．What is the aim of the plan?A.To prevent the students’ road accidentsB.To relieve the traffic pressureC.To save time for the parents and studentsD.To help the parents save money49．How can the local government arrange the new bus service at a low cost?A.By letting the bus run in the morning onlyB.By limiting the number of the studentsC.By getting the support from the headmasterD.By linking the new bus service with the existing one50．Which of the following is possible if the plan is carried out?A.The bus company will make much more moneyB.The children can choose whatever school they likeC.The parents can get rid of their worriesD.The students in Limington School can have free bus rides51．This passage is most probably _____A.a personal letterB.an advertisementC.a headmaster’s reportD.a newspaper articleEWe are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.So, you have to give a speech—and you’re terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble(结巴) over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later youthink, “Thank goodness, it’s over. I’m just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”Cheer up! It doesn’t have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you’ll see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens.52．The main idea of this article is that ________.A.you can improve your speaking abilityB.a poor speaker can never changeC.one should make a short speechD.it is hard to make a speech53．Paragraph 2 implies that ________.A.many people talk too longB.many people are happy to give a speechC.many people do not prepare for a speechD.many people are afraid of giving a speech54．The phrase “talk over their heads” means ________.A.speak too loudlyB.look at the ceilinge difficult wordsD.look down upon them55．The title for this passage may be ________.A.Try to Enjoy a SpeechB.How to Give a Good Speech。

They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information that governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.Today many governments have special departments that protect customers and workers. I n the U.S., for example, there is a department that tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars that we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.36．What is the passage mainly about?A.Conditions in the work place.B.The freedom of industries in the past.C.Changes in industrial production.D.The safety and health of workers and customers.37．According to the passage, we can get the conclusion that in the past __________.A.workers often got ill because of the poor working conditionspanies were free to put out any products they wanted toC.many people were killed by dangerous productsD.industries were as careful in management as they are today38．It is implied in the passage that ____________.ernments and companies had different opinions about the safety of productsernments paid little attention to the safety of products.ernment officials often did not listen to scientistsD.in the past no safety laws were introduced by governments39．The special departments protect customers and workers in many ways EXCEPT by ____.A.testing new productsB.designing new productsC.controlling the sale of productsD.inspecting work placesBThomas Brodie-Sangster’s cars and action figures weren’t just toys. “They would always be characters, and I would always put on stupid voices,” says Thomas (Born on 16 May 1990). For him, acting was just a matter of moving childhood games to a set.Maturity and independence came to Thomas early as he started work at ten. After his first audition (试镜), he learned about rejection. Though hurt and disappointed, he took a part in a tiny, unknown TV film in 2001. No one noticed his performance – no one except screenwriter Richard Curtis. Two years later, he played Sam, a twelve-year-old in love in Curti s’s LoveActually. After that hit film, he played actor Colin Firth’s son in NannyMcPhee. Firth then joined a film called TheLastLegion and supported Thomas for its lead role. As a result, the boy played Rome’s final ruler in the action-adventure.At about 16, Thomas had to make a decision. Did he really want to devote his life to acting? “Many people in the public aren’t letting you be you because they see you as something special”, he says. Also, friendship made during filming was often broken soon after the project finished. Despite these things, he found enough joy and satisfaction in the work to continue. Actually, Thomas seems to find joy in difficulty itself. He played 10-year-old Adolf Hitler in a TV movie and a teenage Paul McCartney in NowhereBoy. The subject of his film DeathofaSuperhero made it his most challenging film. Still, he found a positive message in its story of a schoolboy with cancer.Thomas now enjoys roles in GameofThrones and the upcoming MazeRunner films. Popular as those projects may be, most still recognize him as Sam in LoveActually. Sam seems to run after Thomas, just as he ran through Heathrow airport to his sweetheart.40．Thomas Brodie-Sangster reached maturity early probably because of ________.A.his failure in the first auditionB.his starting acting as early as tenC.his being supported by adult actorsD.his acting in a tiny unknown TV film41．The underlined word “rejection” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.A.recoveryB.respectC.responseD.refusal42．What can be considered as one of the negative aspects of acting according to Thomas?A.Pressure from the public.B.Long-term working friendship.C.Finding joy in difficulty itself.D.Reading scripts and memorizing lines.43．Thomas played the lead role in ________.A.Love ActuallyB.Games of ThronesC.The Last RegionD.Nanny McPheeCTraditionally, across the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together. But boys' schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to(和…相符) the "boy code" of hiding their emotions to be a "real man".The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.Tony Little, head master of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys' learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study's author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with "boy-focused" approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given "hands-on" lessons where they are allowed to walk around. "Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的) and prefer the modern genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes," James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be "masterful and in charge" in relationships. "In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means," the study reported.44．The author believes that a single-sex school would __________.A.force boys to hide their emotions to be "real men"B.help boys to be more competitive in schools.C.encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyD.naturally strengthen boys’ traditional image of a man45．It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys __________.A.behave more responsibly.B.grow up more healthily.C.perform relatively better.D.receive a better education.46．According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is __________.A.teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boysB.boys can focus on their lessons without being distractedC.boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested inD.teaching can be designed to promote boys' team spirit47．What does the underlined word “acute” in paragraph 7” mean?A.lovelyB.sharpC.seriousD.dullDQ: I currently entered college in New York. Since English is not my first language, I sometimes ask a friend to read my essays to help fix t he grammar and language. I believe I’m being graded mainly on my ideas, and my friend helps me get my ideas across better in English. Is this OK?MarianaA: It’s good that you want to succeed in your written work at college. Making use of available resources to help you succeed is a smart strategy(策略).But while you may believe that your instructors don’t care as much about how you write as they do about your ideas, that’s not a fair assumption.Certainly, your ideas are important. No matter how polished your writ ing is, it will not disguise a poorly expressed idea in a paper. But as a college student, being able to organize your thoughts clearly –whether you’re speaking in class or writing a paper—is critical to show that you’ve mastered the material in each course. This does not mean you shouldn’t ask others to review your written work before handing it in. That’s OK.You should not, however, allow a friend or anyone else to rewrite parts of your papers for you. Instead, ask them to simply let you know about any parts of the paper that are unclear and need work. Many colleges have writing centers where tutors will work with you on your writing—without doing the work for you.Regardless of whether you consult with a friend or a tutor, the right thing is for you to talk to your instructors to ask their advice and let them know you plan to ask assistance with your writing. If you ask them in advance for guidance on what’s appropriate and what’s not for the written work they assign, that will allow you to be as transparent as possible about how you completed your assignments.Professor Byron48．What problem does Mariana meet?A.She has trouble learning English grammar.B.She wonders if her method on writing is suitable.C.She doesn’t get on well with her classmates.D.She isn’t able to express herself in English.49．According to Pro. Byron, what’s the most important in writing a paper?A.Professional advice.B.Polishing carefully.anizing thoughts.D.Familiar materials.50．When asking someone for help on your paper, you should ask him ______.A.to hand in the paper after reading itB.to write the difficult part for youC.to make a writing plan for youD.to tell you the part to be improved51．What does the underlined word refer to in the passage ?A.Essays.B.Courses.C.Ideas.D.Resources.EThe 16th Annual Our Own Words Teen Poetry & Fiction Writing ContestAttention, teen writers!Win cash, get published.Entries will be accepted between March 8th and April 21st, 2015.Awards ceremony at Lagerquist Hall , Pacific Lutheran University on December 27th, 2015.

Don’t th ey have the right to a home? Of course they do.Some regular travelers take their own belongings: like bed sheets, pillowcases and family photos to make them feel like home no matter where they are; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with service and attendants; 57 . Furthermore, driving a camping car during one’s travels and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like home -- only mobile!And how about keeping relationships while in transit? 58 ; some send letters and postcards, or even photos; others may just call and say hi, just to let their friends know that they're still alive and well. People find ways to keep in touch. Making friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home. 59 .Nowadays, fewer people are working in their local towns, so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries, there is always another "home" waiting to be found.60 , we can make the place we stay "home".A. Hostels provide a clean safe place to stay while you are travelling the worldB. others may simply put some flowers by the hotel window to make things more homelyC.

名士与名流孤岛名士与名流貌似相同相近,其实相距很远,他们虽然皆与名气有瓜葛,但实际上因所取人生姿态不同,而展现着两种完全不同的人生境界。
“名流”是指正在流行着的社会各界的名人群,而“名士”专指那些已在社会上出名但隐而未仕者。
名流往往以“名”为“实”,为本钱,常常抛头露面,混迹于社会各种官方的大众场合,参加种种社会活动,乐此不疲。
目的是博取更大的名声和利益,其处世姿态媚俗又积极。
名士则以名为“虚”,为“累”,淡泊名利,深居简出,尽量远离社会的各种热闹场所,避开种种抛头露面的机会,躲进小楼或大自然里,回归内心的宁静,或赋诗作文,或饮酒观鱼,或舞剑弹琴,将“小我”化入宇宙之无限中。
名士一般都是实大于名,不仅才华超群,而且心高气傲,超凡脱俗,有一种远离权贵与名利,超然于尘世以外的狂士或隐士风范。
名士们既能耐住寂寞与孤独,又是性情中人,喜欢自然山水,能够让自己的生命脉搏与大自然或自为的生活频率一起跳动。
名流也有一定的才气与悟性,他们更喜欢社会,更喜欢人群,更喜欢在社会进取中博取自己的一席之地,捞个一官半职,或挂满各种社会头衔,以赢得人们的特殊尊重。
但不少人在进击社会中,慢慢忘却了人之本性,成为公众世俗文化的代表。
这种人一旦得到权势,便想领导潮流,左右社会经济或文化局势。
但大多数的下场是“大江东去,浪淘尽”,只有学问和历史功绩都较大,或历史罪过很大的“名流”被定格了下来,成了名流的历史代表,如孔子、曹操等。
“替天行道,兴周灭纣”的姜子牙、“死谏”的魏征、有“卧龙”之称的诸葛亮三人既是名流又是名士,位居宰相,却道人自守,身在“朝”,心在“野”,以一颗遁世无我之心入世救世,创造了集名流与名士于一身的完美典范。
名士中做到了才情与品性的完美结合之人,屈指可数,而且随着人类城市化的不断推进和社会大融合的不断深入,名士将会越来越少,乃至慢慢消失。

My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.The children were extremely quick to accept the idea o f “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering(口吃的)son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. An d the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child —talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves(应得到)to be an only child at least once in a while.36．What is the text mainly about?A.The experience of the only child being with mother.B.The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.C.The happy life of two families.D.The basic needs of children.37．Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were ______.A.happyB.curiousC.regretfulD.friendly38．What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?A.The daughter acts like a leader.B.Sam holds her hand more often.C.The boys become better followers.D.Tom has less difficulty in speaking.39．The author seems to believe that ______.A.having brothers and sisters is funB.it’s tiring to look after three childrenC.every child needs parents’ full attentionD.parents should watch others’ children"Indeed," George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, " some kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left home. " But the father of America was not the father of bug. WhenWashington wrote that, Englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century,and Americans had already created lightning-bug(萤火虫).But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. Although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like.Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bug-shaped car. The bug could also be a burglar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug,that is,"to install(安装)an alarm". Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others' conversations. Since the 1840s,to bug has long meant" to cheat" , and since the 1940s it has been annoying.We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design. That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison. In 1878 he explained bugs as"little problems and difficulties" that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison" had been up the two previous nights discovering' a bug' in his invented record player."40．We learn from Paragraph 1 that___________.A.Americans had difficulty in learning to use the word bugB.George Washington was the first person to call an insect a bugC.the word bug was still popularly used in English in the nineteenth centuryD.both Englishmen and Americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century41．What does the word"flaw"in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Explanation.B.Finding.C.Origin.D.Fault.42．The passage is mainly concerned with___________.A.the misunderstanding of the word bugB.the development of the word bugC.the public views of the word bugD.the special characteristics of the word bug“Blogging is helping students to think and write more critically(批评地),”says an Australian researcher, “and can help draw out people who would otherwise not engage in debate.”These are the preliminary findings of PHD research by Anne Bartlett-Bragg, a lecturer at the University of Technology, Sydney, who has been using weblogs or blogs in her own teaching since 2001.“The students are thinking more critically.” she says, “They are learning to be responsible and they’re communicating outside the boundaries of the classroom and the institution, and they like that. “Bartlett-Bragg says in conventional teaching, students often rely on the lecturer as the main source of ideas and critique (评论)for their work. “I’m a bit over listening to my students giving me back in an essay what I’ve told them in class.” she says. “I want them to think for themselves and get different p erspectives.”“What makes blogs useful is their interactive nature.” she says. These web-based forums(论坛)for discussing ideas, experiences or opinions allow students to discuss publicly what they are studying with other students and experts outside their o wn university. “I really encourage them to put their personal opinion in there, provided they are informed and backed up with evidence.”Bartlett-Bragg says because a lot of academics in her field of electronic or e-learning now have their own blogs, students can engage directly with them.She says one of the most powerful facilities in weblogs is pinging, which involves a person positing a comment about someone else’s work on their own blog. They use the “Trackback” tool to notify the author when they have published the comment, basically inviting them to discuss it. “They get such a buzz when they make a comment on another person outside the boundaries of the institution and that person responds, or even gives them some further reading.” she says. “They are getting new perspectives that I can’t give them in a normal lecture.”43．What Bartlett-Bragg likes most is that blogs can help students to ______.A.think for themselvesB.have stronger sense of responsibilityC.know more about the world outsideD.finish an essay assignment easily44．Bartlett-Brag would like her students to _______.A.make comments on her teachingB.spend more time on the webC.be taught in a conventional wayD.get new ideas from the web-based forums 45．The “Trackback” tool is used to _______. .A.exchange views with the authorrm the author of a newly published commentC.invite the author to replyD.send a comment to the author46．Bartlett-Bragg’s attitude towards introducing blogs into teaching is _______..A.criticB.doubtfulC.supportiveD.neutral47．The fourth paragraph mainly talks about_________.A.the special nature of blogsB.the popularity of blogsC.the advantages of blogsD.Bartlett-Bragg’s teaching stylesThe first kind of air transportation was not a plane. It was a balloon. People traveled by balloon 100 years before there were planes or jet aircraft. Those early days of ballooning were exciting, but they were also dangerous. Sometimes the balloons fell suddenly. Sometimes they burned. However, the danger did not stop the balloonists.The first real balloon flight was in France in 1783. Two Frenchmen, the Montgolfier brothers, made a balloon. They filled a very large paper bag with hot air. Hot air is lighter than cold air, so it goes up. The Montgolfier's hot air balloon went up 1,000 feet in the sky.Later that same year, two other Frenchmen ascended (上升) in a basket under a balloon. They built a fire under the balloon to make the air hot. This made the balloon stay up in the air for a few hours. But their balloon was tied to the ground. So it could not go anywhere.The first free balloon flight was in December, 1783. The balloon flew for 25 minutes over Paris. It traveled about 5.5 miles. Flying a balloon is not like flying a plane. The balloon has no engine and therefore no power of its own. The wind directs the balloon. It goes where the wind blows. The pilot can control only the altitude of the balloon to find the right wind direction. That is how a good pilot controls where the balloons goes.Soon balloonists tried longer flights. A major event in the history of ballooning was the first long flight over water. In 1785, an American and a Frenchman flew over the English Channel.During the nineteenth century, ballooning became a popular sport. There were balloon races in Europe. Balloons were also used by scientists to study the air and by armies in wartime. After the airplane was invented, people lost interest in balloons. Planes were much faster and easier to control. But some people today still like to go up in balloons. High up in the balloon basket, they find quietness. They have wonderful view of the world below.48．The first kind of air travel was in .A.a jet planeB.an aircraftC.a balloonD.a ship49．Many early balloonists lived in .A.EnglandB.the United StatesC.ItalyD.France50．The balloon rises if the air inside get .A.colderB.hotterC.outD.fell51．One way to control a balloon is to .e the engineB.find the right wind directionC.ask the pilotD.not change altitude四、七选五：共5题每题2分共10分52Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while, then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, 53. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flow more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings.Another difficult point for us to understand is that 54. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend; 55. The Americans, however, they will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, 56. For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for pure business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!A.they don’t show their politeness if it requires a great deal of timeB.Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.C.Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D.the welcome will be full, warm and realE.we may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friendsF.they pick up the friendshipG.America is a mobile society.第II卷（非选择题）五、短文改错：57．假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.Then we worked out a plan：When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” ti me. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Chr istie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sa m, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child —talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves（应得到）to be an only child at least once in a while.36．What is the text mainly about？A.The experience of the only child being with mother.B.The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.C.The happy life of two families.D.The basic needs of children.37．Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were ______.A.happyB.curiousC.regretfulD.friendly38．What is one of the changes the author finds in her children？A.The daughter acts like a leader.B.Sam holds her hand more often.C.The boys become better followers.D.Tom has less difficulty in speaking.39．The author seems to believe that ______.A.having brothers and sisters is funB.it’s tiring to look after three childrenC.every child needs parents’ full attentionD.parents should watch others’ childrenB"Indeed," George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, " some kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left home.

Our dreams do not come from "another world ". They are not messages from outside sources. They are not a look into the future, either.All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold, his dreams may include a feeling of this kind . If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on the ice or snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today.So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has an effect on you while you are sleeping (feeling of cold, discomfort, etc.) and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, homesick soldiers of their families and prisoners ofTo show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of an experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands.There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanations of dreams, though a bit reasonable, are not accepted by everyone, but they offer an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that do not come true. In other words, dreams are a way of having your wishes carried out.36．From the passage we know that our dreams .A.are imagination of our daily lifeB.are man’s curious look into the futureC.have nothing to do with our feelingsD.are to some degree connected with our feelings37．Older children often dream of examinations probably because .A.they are interested in examsB.they are often worried about their studiesC.they hope for a better lifeD.they show much interest in their studies38．According to the writer, the explanations of dreams that some scientists made .A.are considered interesting, but unreasonableB.give a good answer to the question why we dreamC.have some value, though not fully convincingD.have been proved by the findings of their studies39．Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A.Why People Dream?B.New Findings about DreamsC.Dream Makes HopesD.What Dreams Mean?BThe name might sound like that of a superhero, but Pooperman’s task is much more basic.He, or she, is trying to shame the irresponsible dog owners of Lincoln into cleaning up behind their pets.Pooperman sticks notes into dog waste that owners have failed to clean up, warning them not to do it again. The typed notes read, "Don’t leave it. You might be the one who steps in it the next time you walk this way."While welcoming the purpose of the message, local government officers have rounded on Pooperman for producing even more rubbish.They say they would prefer it if people told them when there was a problem rather than adding to the rubbish problem. The city of Lincoln government’s environmental officer, Tony Garner, said, "The public can help instead by observing dog owners to make sure they clean up after their pets, perhaps asking them to remove the waste if they try to leave it.""If this doesn’t work we can take action — people can tell us who the owner is, give us a description of the owner and the dog, or simply tell us when and where they allow their dog to produce the"We can then focus our patrols(巡逻) and take action against irresponsible owners."Sue Grace, a dog owner from Birchwood, Lincs, said, "I always cle an up after my dog. It’s very irresponsible if you don’t.""There’s nothing worse than stepping in dog waste or dragging your long lead through it, but I don’t know that putting notes on it is the answer.""It’s good that the local government is fighting a gainst dog waste, though it might take one or two prosecutions(起诉) to make any difference."40．What does Pooperman try to do?A.To have irresponsible dog owners remove dog waste.B.To advise the local government to protect the environment.C.To praise responsible dog owners for protecting the environment.D.To remind the local government to deal with the dog waste problem.41．What does the underlined part "rounded on" in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Punished.B.Blamed.ughed at.D.Worried about.42．According to the environmental officer, the public can .A.punish irresponsible dog owners when necessaryB.report irresponsible dog owners to the police if possibleC.force irresponsible dog owners to clean up dog waste in some wayD.request irresponsible dog owners to clean up dog waste then and there43．The dog owner Sue Grace believes that .A.the local dog owners are irresponsibleB.Pooperman is responsible and doing an effective jobC.the law may play a role in fighting against dog wasteD.the local government’s fighting against dog waste is successfulSkydive Greene CountyCCome out and let us teach you how to skydive today!

Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly，and files download much faster than ten years ago．And the files are much bigger too．There’s a hidden problem：You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don’t，it's slow dial-up access for you. And for those living really far out，there may be no Internet access at all．Technology experts often talk about the “last mile” problem，which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations．In cities and suburbs(郊区)，it's relatively easy to provide access for everyone．It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities，especially in developing countries．Internet service providers, for their part，have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely(稀疏地)populated areas．The handful of Internet users theywould reach wouldn’t cover the expense.But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these t echnologies aren’t available everywhere．Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper more efficient fiber optics cables(光纤电缆)promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users．Still, the“last mile”problem remains hard to deal with．There will always be somewhere that doesn’t have an affordable broadband connection．But someday that might not matter．If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication，it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.48．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Internet connections have been popular everywhere．B.Internet service providers are willing to care about rural(农村的)customers．C.The pr oblem of Internet access hasn’t been completely dealt with.puter can’t become popular in developing countries．49．Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that technological advancements_______.A.make TV and telephone available everywhereB.bring great change to people’s everyday lifeC.bring faster Internet connections to usersD.make it possible for more people to use the Internet50．What may eventually settle the“last mile”problem?A.The broadband connection’s getting faster．B.The rapid progress in cell phone technology．C.More and more Internet connections．D.More and more Internet users.51．The best title for this passage may be________．A.Internet Connection ProblemsB.Internet Connections Need ImprovingC.Progress in Internet ConnectionsD.Internet Connections TodayEMy friend had mentioned the other day that her father had a lot of children's toys he was looking to give away. She knew I have a three-year-old daughter so she thought of me first. I told her I would love it if I could get some nice things for my daughter, which I wouldn't otherwise have been able to afford.When I met her father, he began to explain he was too poor once and that he would hate to throw away things that can be very useful.Before he showed me what he was giving away, I thought the toys would be mostly lego's(乐高积木) or things like that. When he was showing me around I saw a bed, a slide, a kitchen set and many other things that just blew my mind. He told me to write a list of everything my daughter could use and as my eyes were wide, he told me not to feel guilty. He said I was helping him by getting rid of the stuff.As I was looking around I did feel guilty, but I tried to remain more grateful than guilty. Every time I tried to thank him for giving me and my daughter all this wonderful stuff he would thank me right back. I wanted to believe that he was just thanking me so that I wouldn't feel so guilty but in realityI believe that he was as grateful as I was that these toys would be put to good use.In the eyes of charity, it makes sense to feel grateful, but guilt is just as normal. I know that we could have lived without a slide, which is why I do feel guilty, but I am grateful all the same because my daughter really does enjoy all these nice things!52．Why did the old man want to give away his toys?A.He wanted to help those poor children.B.He was wealthy enough to buy new toys.C.He wanted to make full use of those toys.D.He needed some space for more useful things.53．In the writer's opinion, the old man felt grateful because________.A.he wanted to make her more guiltyB.he wanted her to take the toys quicklyC.the toys would be put to good useD.he finally got rid of the stuff54．What can we know from the passage?A.The writer took all the toys home.B.The old man was a kind and thoughtful personC.The writer wanted to refuse the stuff when she first saw them.D.The writer's daughter enjoyed the slide most among all the stuff.55．How did the writer feel when given the stuff?A.Guilty and honored.B.Grateful and respected.C.Honored and respected.D.Guilty and grateful.四、信息匹配：共5题每题2分共10分下面文章中有5处需要添加小标题，请从以下选项中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑,选项中一项为多余选项。

My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.The children were extremely quick t o accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tonsof questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering(口吃的)son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activ ities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child — talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves(应得到)to be an only child at least once in a while.36．What is the text mainly about?A.The experience of the only child being with mother.B.The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.C.The happy life of two families.D.The basic needs of children.37．Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were ______.A.happyB.curiousC.regretfulD.friendly38．What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?A.The daughter acts like a leader.B.Sam holds her hand more often.C.The boys become better followers.D.Tom has less difficulty in speaking.39．The author seems to believe that ______.A.having brothers and sisters is funB.it’s tiring to look after three childrenC.every child needs parents’ full attentionD.parents should watch others’ children"Indeed," George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, " some kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left home. " But the father of America was not the father of bug. When Washington wrote that, Englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century,and Americans had already created lightning-bug(萤火虫).But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. Although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like.Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bug-shaped car. The bug could also be a burglar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug,that is,"to install(安装)an alarm". Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others' conversations. Since the 1840s,to bug has long meant" to cheat" , and since the 1940s it has been annoying.We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design. That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison. In 1878 he explained bugs as"little problems and difficulties" that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison" had been up the two previous nights discovering' a bug' in his invented record player."40．We learn from Paragraph 1 that___________.A.Americans had difficulty in learning to use the word bugB.George Washington was the first person to call an insect a bugC.the word bug was still popularly used in English in the nineteenth centuryD.both Englishmen and Americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century41．What does the word"flaw"in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Explanation.B.Finding.C.Origin.D.Fault.42．The passage is mainly concerned with___________.A.the misunderstanding of the word bugB.the development of the word bugC.the public views of the word bugD.the special characteristics of the word bug“Blogging is helping students to think and write more critically(批评地),”says an Aust ralian researcher, “and can help draw out people who would otherwise not engage in debate.”These are the preliminary findings of PHD research by Anne Bartlett-Bragg, a lecturer at the University of Technology, Sydney, who has been using weblogs or blogs in her own teaching since 2001.“The students are thinking more critically.” she says, “They are learning to be responsible and they’re communicating outside the boundaries of the classroom and the institution, and they like that. “Bartlett-Bragg says in conventional teaching, students often rely on the lecturer as the main source of ideas and critique (评论)for their work. “I’m a bit over listening tomy students giving me back in an essay what I’ve told them in class.” she says. “I want them to think for the mselves and get different perspectives.”“What makes blogs useful is their interactive nature.” she says. These web-based forums(论坛)for discussing ideas, experiences or opinions allow students to discuss publicly what they are studying with other students and experts outside their own university. “I really encourage them to put their personal opinion in there, provided they are informed and backed up with evidence.” Bartlett-Bragg says because a lot of academics in her field of electronic ore-learning now have their own blogs, students can engage directly with them.She says one of the most powerful facilities in weblogs is pinging, which involves a person positing a comment about someone else’s work on their own blog. They use the “Trackback” tool to notify the author when they have published the comment, basically inviting them to discuss it.“They get such a buzz when they make a comment on another person outside the boundaries of the institution and that person responds, or even gives them some further r eading.” she says. “They are getting new perspectives that I can’t give them in a normal lecture.”43．What Bartlett-Bragg likes most is that blogs can help students to ______.A.think for themselvesB.have stronger sense of responsibilityC.know more about the world outsideD.finish an essay assignment easily44．Bartlett-Brag would like her students to _______.A.make comments on her teachingB.spend more time on the w ebC.be taught in a conventional wayD.get new ideas from the web-based forums45．The “Trackback” tool is used to _______. .A.exchange views with the authorrm the author of a newly published commentC.invite the author to replyD.send a comment to the author46．Bartlett-Bragg’s attitude towards introducing blogs into teaching is _______. .A.criticB.doubtfulC.supportiveD.neutral47．The fourth paragraph main ly talks about_________.A.the special nature of blogsB.the popularity of blogsC.the advantages of blogsD.Bartlett-Bragg’s teaching stylesThe first kind of air transportation was not a plane. It was a balloon. People traveled by balloon 100 years before there were planes or jet aircraft. Those early days of ballooning were exciting,but they were also dangerous. Sometimes the balloons fell suddenly. Sometimes they burned. However, the danger did not stop the balloonists.The first real balloon flight was in France in 1783. Two Frenchmen, the Montgolfier brothers, made a balloon. They filled a very large paper bag with hot air. Hot air is lighter than cold air, so it goes up. The Montgolfier's hot air balloon went up 1,000 feet in the sky.Later that same year, two other Frenchmen ascended (上升) in a basket under a balloon. They built a fire under the balloon to make the air hot. This made the balloon stay up in the air for a few hours. But their balloon was tied to the ground. So it could not go anywhere.The first free balloon flight was in December, 1783. The balloon flew for 25 minutes over Paris. It traveled about 5.5 miles. Flying a balloon is not like flying a plane. The balloon has no engine and therefore no power of its own. The wind directs the balloon. It goes where the wind blows. The pilot can control only the altitude of the balloon to find the right wind direction. That is how a good pilot controls where the balloons goes.Soon balloonists tried longer flights. A major event in the history of ballooning was the first long flight over water. In 1785, an American and a Frenchman flew over the English Channel. During the nineteenth century, ballooning became a popular sport. There were balloon races in Europe. Balloons were also used by scientists to study the air and by armies in wartime. After the airplane was invented, people lost interest in balloons. Planes were much faster and easier to control. But some people today still like to go up in balloons. High up in the balloon basket, they find quietness. They have wonderful view of the world below.48．The first kind of air travel was in .A.a jet planeB.an aircraftC.a balloonD.a ship49．Many early balloonists lived in .A.EnglandB.the United StatesC.ItalyD.France50．The balloon rises if the air inside get .A.colderB.hotterC.outD.fell51．One way to control a balloon is to .e the engineB.find the right wind directionC.ask the pilotD.not change altitude四、七选五：共5题每题2分共10分52 Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if si tuations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while, then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance,even years later, 53 . This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flow more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings.Another difficult point for us to understand is that 54 . This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country whe re we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend; 55 . The Americans, however, they will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, 56 . For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for pure business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!A.they don’t show their politeness if it requires a great deal of timeB.Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.C.Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D.the welcome will be full, warm and realE.we may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friendsF.they pick up the friendshipG.America is a mobile society.第II卷（非选择题）五、短文改错：57．假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

She just took me to the orphanage and that’s where I stayed until I grew up,” I replied.“Don’t you 25 her?” she asked.“Oh, I can’t. She’s my mother.

" she wrote after her site attracted huge attention. "Thank you so much for all your lovely messages to me." Alice, who lives with her family in the northwest English town of Ulverston, revealed (透露)the manager of Take That had arranged for her to see the band after reading her blog.

They argued that the only way to restore willpower was by rest, food or entertainment.But psychologists have challenged this theory, saying weak willpower is all in your head. They found that people's beliefs in willpower determine how long and how well they'll be able to work on a tough mental exercise. “If y ou think of willpower as something that's limited, you're more likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task,” said Prof. Veronika Job. “But if you think of willpower as something that is not easily used up, you can go on and on.”The researchers designed four experiments to test students' beliefs in willpower. After a tiring task, those, who believed or were led to believe that willpower is a limited resource, performed worse on standard concentration tests than those who thought of willpower as something they had more control over. They also found that leading up to final exam week, students who believed the limited resource theory ate junk food 24 percent more often than those who believed they had more control in resisting temptation.Mr. Job said. “The theory that willpower is a limited resource is interesting, but it has had unintended consequences. Students who may already have trouble studying are being told that their power of concentration is limited, and they need to take frequent breaks. But a belief in willpower as a non-limited resource makes people stronger in their ability to work through challenges.”The findings could help people who are battling temptation. Willpower isn't driven by a biologically based process as much as we used to think. The belief in it is what influences your behavior.40．(本题2分)The theory that willpower is limited supports that _________.A.people must eat snacks when they feel tiredB.people do need a break to restore their willpowerC.there’s no way to strengthen people’s willpowerD.weak willpower doesn’t affect people’s life much41．(本题2分)What have the scientists long believed regarding willpower?A.It is in the charge of people.B.It is a limited resource.C.There is no way to restore willpower.D.It doesn’t easily run out.42．(本题2分)Which of the following best helps the students to prepare better for their exams?A.Push themselves even if they want to take a break.B.Don’t eat fast food while studying.C.Remind themselves willpower is not limited.D.Stay in a comfortable and quiet place.43．(本题2分)What’s the best title for the passage?A.A new theory about willpowerB.How to build strong willpowerC.The great influence of w illpowerD.Willpower doesn’t last longLillian Hanson, a college student, expects to graduate in about two years. What makes Mrs Hanson differe nt from her classmates is her age – 73 years. She has been studying at college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years.When Lillian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the bank to borrow money for further education. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didn’t think that a country girl should borrow money to go to college. He thought she should be at home doing work in the house or around the farm. So Lillian Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead of going to college.Mrs Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher education. When her children grew up, she tried again.She finds it is the hardest part of going back to school at her age to be sitting in class for long periods of time. Because she is not as quick as she used to be. Mrs Hanson often gets up and walks around between classes to keep from getting stiff(不灵活的). At the beginning of a course in using the computer, the other students all stood up to give her a warm welcome when she introduced herself and explained why she was there and what her aims were.44． Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.An Unusual StudentB.A Kind – hearted MotherC.A Cruel BankerD.A Strange Woman45． What was the difference between Mrs Hanson and her classmates?A.She worked hard at her lessons.B.She was much older.C.She was a country girl.D.She was eager to graduate from college.46．Why couldn’t Mrs Hanson go to college soon after she graduated from h igh school?A.Because she had got marriedB.Because she wanted to teach herselfC.Because she was a country girlD.Because she wasn’t rich enough47．(本题3分)In which order did Mrs Hanson do the following things?a. She had her 73rd birthday.b. She finished high school.c. She began her studies at college.d. She went to the bank to borrow money.e. She got married and gave birth to nine children.A.e,c,b,a,dB.b,d,e,c,aC.e,d,b,c,aD.b,d,a,c,eThe number of speaker s of English in Shakespeare’s time is est imated to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an enough working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.48．(本题2分)What would be the best title for this passage?A.The Difficulties of Learning EnglishB.International CommunicationsC.The Standard Varieties of EnglishD.English as a World Language49．(本题2分)Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.B.There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.C.It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working knowledge of English.D.People learn English for a variety of reasons.50．(本题2分)According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?A.It was popular during Shakespeare’s time.B.It is used in former British colonies.C.It serves the needs of its native speakers.D.It is a world language that is used for international communication.51．(本题2分)What type of developing countries would be most likely to use English?A.Those geographically close to the United States.B.Those interested in the culture of the United States.C.Former colonies of the Great Britain.D.Countries where international conferences are held.We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively. We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning. We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that w e depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor.Did you ever play the game Rum or? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.That’s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own wor ds changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping it with their personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be re-stated as a fact by another, who mat in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process my continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.52．(本题2分)According to the passage, passive learning may occur in _________.A.doing a medical experimentB.solving a math problemC.visiting an exhibitionD.doing scientific reasoning53．(本题2分)The underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to _________.A.active learningB.knowledgemunicationD.passive learning54．(本题2分)The author mentions the game Rumor to show that _________.A.a message may be changed when being passed onB.a message should be delivered in different waysC.people may have problems with their sense of hearingD.people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor55．(本题2分)what can we infer from the passage?A.Active learning is less important.B.Passive learning may not be reliableC.Active learning occurs more frequently.D.Passive learning is not found among scholars.第II卷（非选择题）四、短文改错：56．Last week, I met a stranger who seemed to be losing.

They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information that governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.Today many governments have special departments that protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department that tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars that we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.36．What is the passage mainly about?A.Conditions in the work place.B.The freedom of industries in the past.C.Changes in industrial production.D.The safety and health of workers and customers.37．According to the passage, we can get the conclusion that in the past __________.A.workers often got ill because of the poor working conditionspanies were free to put out any products they wanted toC.many people were killed by dangerous productsD.industries were as careful in management as they are today38．It is implied in the passage that ____________.ernments and companies had different opinions about the safety of productsernments paid little attention to the safety of products.ernment officials often did not listen to scientistsD.in the past no safety laws were introduced by governments39．The special departments protect customers and workers in many ways EXCEPT by ____.A.testing new productsB.designing new productsC.controlling the sale of productsD.inspecting work placesBThomas Brodie-Sangster’s cars and action figures weren’t just toys. “They would always be characters, and I would always put on stupid voices,” says Thomas (Born on 16 May 1990). For him, acting was just a matter of moving childhood games to a set.Maturity and independence came to Thomas early as he started work at ten. After his first audition (试镜), he learned about rejection. Though hurt and disappointed, he took a part in a tiny, unknown TV film in 2001. No one noticed his performance – no one except screenwriter Richard Curtis. Two years later, he played Sam, a twelve-year-old in love in Curti s’s LoveActually. After that hit film, he played actor Colin Firth’s son in NannyMcPhee. Firth then joined a film called TheLastLegion and supported Thomas for its lead role. As a result, the boy played Rome’s final ruler in the action-adventure.At about 16, Thomas had to make a decision. Did he really want to devote his life to acting? “Many people in the public aren’t letting you be you because they see you as something special”, he says. Also, friendship made during filming was often broken soon after the project finished. Despite these things, he found enough joy and satisfaction in the work to continue. Actually, Thomas seems to find joy in difficulty itself. He played 10-year-old Adolf Hitler in a TV movie and a teenage Paul McCartney in NowhereBoy. The subject of his film DeathofaSuperhero made it his most challenging film. Still, he found a positive message in its story of a schoolboy with cancer.Thomas now enjoys roles in GameofThrones and the upcoming MazeRunner films. Popular as those projects may be, most still recognize him as Sam in LoveActually. Sam seems to run after Thomas, just as he ran through Heathrow airport to his sweetheart.40．Thomas Brodie-Sangster reached maturity early probably because of ________.A.his failure in the first auditionB.his starting acting as early as tenC.his being supported by adult actorsD.his acting in a tiny unknown TV film41．The underlined word “rejection” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.A.recoveryB.respectC.responseD.refusal42．What can be considered as one of the negative aspects of acting according to Thomas?A.Pressure from the public.B.Long-term working friendship.C.Finding joy in difficulty itself.D.Reading scripts and memorizing lines.43．Thomas played the lead role in ________.A.Love ActuallyB.Games of ThronesC.The Last RegionD.Nanny McPheeCTraditionally, across the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together. But boys' schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to(和…相符) the "boy code" of hiding their emotions to be a "real man".The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.Tony Little, head master of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys' learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study's author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with "boy-focused" approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given "hands-on" lessons where they are allowed to walk around. "Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的) and prefer the modern genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes," James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be "masterful and in charge" in relationships. "In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means," the study reported.44．The author believes that a single-sex school would __________.A.force boys to hide their emotions to be "real men"B.help boys to be more competitive in schools.C.encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyD.naturally strengthen boys’ traditional image of a man45．It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys __________.A.behave more responsibly.B.grow up more healthily.C.perform relatively better.D.receive a better education.46．According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is __________.A.teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boysB.boys can focus on their lessons without being distractedC.boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested inD.teaching can be designed to promote boys' team spirit47．What does the underlined word “acute” in paragraph 7” mean?A.lovelyB.sharpC.seriousD.dullDQ: I currently entered college in New York. Since English is not my first language, I sometimes ask a friend to read my essays to help fix the grammar and language. I believe I’m being graded mainly on my ideas, and my friend helps me get my ideas across better in English. Is this OK?MarianaA: It’s good that you want to succeed in your written work at college. Making use of available resources to help you succeed is a smart strategy(策略).But while you may believe that your instructors don’t care as much about how you write as they do about your ideas, that’s not a fair assumption.Certainly, your ideas are important. No matter how polished your writing is, it will not disguise a poorly expressed idea in a paper. But as a college student, being able to organize your thoughts clearly –whether you’re speaking in class or writing a paper—is critical to show that you’ve mastered the material in each course. This does not mean you shouldn’t a sk others to review your written work before handing it in. That’s OK.You should not, however, allow a friend or anyone else to rewrite parts of your papers for you. Instead, ask them to simply let you know about any parts of the paper that are unclear and need work. Many colleges have writing centers where tutors will work with you on your writing—without doing the work for you.Regardless of whether you consult with a friend or a tutor, the right thing is for you to talk to your instructors to ask their advice and let them know you plan to ask assistance with your writing. If you ask them in advance for guidance on what’s appropriate and what’s not for the written work they assign, that will allow you to be as transparent as possible about how you completed your assignments.Professor Byron48．What problem does Mariana meet?A.She has trouble learning English grammar.B.She wonders if her method on writing is suitable.C.She doesn’t get on well with her classmates.D.She isn’t able to express herself in English.49．According to Pro.

Don’t they ha ve the right to a home? Of course they do.Some regular travelers take their own belongings: like bed sheets, pillowcases and family photos to make them feel like home no matter where they are; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with service and attendants; 57 . Furthermore, driving a camping car during one’s travels and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like home -- only mobile!And how about keeping relationships while in transit? 58 ; some send letters and postcards, or even photos; others may just call and say hi, just to let their friends know that they're still alive and well. People find ways to keep in touch. Making friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home. 59 .Nowadays, fewer people are working in their local towns, so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries, there is always another "home" waiting to be found.60 , we can make the place we stay "home".A.

Since it was only two-day voyage, he believed he can get home without eating anything. He final bought a ticket with that little money and went to board the ship. He closed his ears to the sound of the lunch bell or refused to go to the place where people had his dinner when dinnertime came. Therefore, he couldn’t stand this any longer and went to the dining hall, enjoy the last meal on the ship. He then said, “Waiter, brings me the bill.” “Oh, meals are included in the ticket.” said the waiter.七、书面表达：共35分82．假如你是李华。

The better leaders possess a few qualities that can mean the difference between the success and failure of the group. These are the qualities the leader of higher rank will look for when choosing a leader for a group, or when evaluating the performance of a leader. They're also the qualities team members want in a group leader, and appreciate when they find them.Take ResponsibilityGroup leaders might share tasks around a group as necessary, but eventually a group leader needs to be able to accept that responsibility lies on her shoulders. That means that if things go wrong in a group project, she's the one who must accept the consequences and work out what mistakes were made. The group leader won't always have the power to control everything group members do, but she should be ready to admit any mistakes the group has made as a result of her leadership. Concern for MembersThe group leader has a commitment to the task or project at hand, but perhaps more importantly, he has a real concern for each and every person who is part of his group. This means getting to know the strengths, weaknesses and goals of team members, as well as making time to build the group through collective activities. The group leader should make sure that everyone is included, even if an individual is new to a group.Good ListenerThe group leader needs to be able to listen to the suggestions, complaints (抱怨) and ideas of group members. Not only will this allow complaints to be addressed and potentially suitable ideas to be put into practice, but a leader who listens will also encourage group members to share their concerns and thoughts, creating an atmosphere of free speech and productivity.36．The passage is mainly about____________.A.choosing a good leader for a group.B.assessing the performance of a leader.C.qualities of a good group leader.D.team members’ appreciation of a leader.37．A good leader should always be able to_______.A. tell when things go wrong in a group project.B. control everything group members do.C. make group members admit their mistakes.D. recognize any mistakes as his own.38．According to“Concerns for members”, which of the following is a good quality of a leader?A. fairB. reliableC. determinedD. generous39．Which of the following is not the benefit of being a good listener?A. Offer a chance for group members to express themselves freely.B. Allow the leader to put all his ideas into practice easily.C. Make it possible to deal with group members’ complaints.D. Make group members productive by sharing their thoughts.In her new book, “The Smartest Kids in the World,” A manda Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high-school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Warsaw, Poland. Poland is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the countr y raised students’ test scores from significantly below average to well above it. Polish kids have now outscored(超过……分数) American kids in math and science, even though Poland spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the United States does. One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Warsaw is that the latter has no football team, or, for that matter, teams of any kind. Those American High Schools lavish more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint. This is not a matter of how any given student who plays sports does in school, but of the culture and its priorities. This December, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) result s are announced, it’s safe to predict that American high-school students will once again display their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like South Korea, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Singapore, and Japan. Meanwhile, they will have played some very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers.Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it. And for another, according to Ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too. She describes a tour she took of a school in Washington D.C., which costs thirty thousand dollars a year. The tour leader—a mother with three children in the school—was asked about the school’s flaws(暇疵). When she said that the math program was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted. When she said that the football program was weak, the parents suddenly became concerned. “Really?” one of them asked worriedly, “What do you mean?”One of the ironies (讽刺) of the situation is that sports reveal what is possible. American kids’ performance on the field shows just how well they can do when expectations are high. It’s too bad that their test scores show the same thing.40．Tom decides to spend his senior year in Poland because _______.A. there are striking differences between the 2 countriesB. Polish kids are better at learningC. sports are not supported at schools in GettysburgD. he intends to improve his scores41．According to Paragraph 2, we know that _______.A. too much importance is placed on sports in AmericaB. little time is spent on sports in Japanese schoolsC.

American students’ academic performance worries their parents a lotB. high expectations push up American students’ academic performanceC. low expectations result in American students’ poor PISA performanceD. la cking practice contributes to American students’ average performance43．The purpose of this article is to _______.A. draw public attention to a weakness in American school traditionB. call on American schools to learn from the Polish modelC. compare Polish schools with those in AmericaD. explain what is wrong with American schools and provide solutionsLoch Ness, the largest freshwater lake in the British Isles, is twenty four miles long and, at one point, one mile wide. It has an average depth of four hundred and fifty feet and at times drops close to a thousand. It is cold and murky(浑浊的), with dangerous currents. In short, it is the perfect place to hide a monster from even the sharpest eyes of science.The Loch Ness Monster, also called Nessie, is supposedly living in this area. The earliest recorded sighting of the Loch Ness Monster was in the biography of Life of St. Columba by Adamnan in the year AD 565. The monster apparently attacked a man who was swimming in the River Ness. The monster didn’t make headlines again until August 27, 1930, when 3 fishermen reported seeing a creature with 20 feet long approaching their boat, throwing water in the air. In 1933, after a new road was built along the edge of the Loch, the number of reports rose suddenly. Early in 1934, Author Grant, a young student, was out on his motorcycle one evening when he almost ran into the monster as it crossed the road. Grant’s description of the thing — small head, long thin neck and tail with a big body, seemed to match the appearance of the plesiosaur(蛇颈龙), an aquatic(水生的) type of dinosaur that has been extinct(已灭绝的)for 65 million years.The Loch Ness Investigation Bureau was formed in 1962 to act as a research organization for information about the creature. Even now, efforts have continued to find the monster. A great deal of information was discovered about the Loch, but they haven’t yet to produce any specific evidence of a monster.Skeptics(怀疑论者) argue that the water in the Loch is too cold for a plesiosaur to live in. They also argue that an air-breathing animal, like a whale or seal, would spend much more time on the surface than the creature seems to, and would be spotted more often.Some scientists have wondered if the sightings might be caused by an underwater wave which is known to sometimes occur in deep, long, and cold lakes, like Loch Ness. Such a wave might push debris(废弃物)to the surface that might look like a strange animal.However, none of these is identified.44．According to the skeptics, which of the following is TRUE?A. It is impossible for a monster to live in cold water.B. The Loch Ness Monster often stays under the water.C. The Loch Ness Monster is an air-breathing animal.D. There is no so-called monster in Loch Ness.45．The purpose of setting up the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau is to .A. research the plesiosaur in the Loch NessB. protect the Nessie in the lakeC. collect some information about the NessieD. catch the Loch Ness Monster46．Which of the following is the correct order for the things that happened in the passage?a. A young student met with a monster crossing the road.b. A swimmer was attacked by a monster in Loch Ness.c. A new road was built along the edge of the Loch.d.

Three fishermen saw a creature swimming towards their boat.A.b, e, c, a, dB.a,b, e, d, cC.b, d, a, c, eD.d, c, e, b, a47．We can infer from the passage that .A. Nessie is an aquatic type of dinosaurB. Nessie has a 20-foot-long bodyC. Nessie is an underwater waveD. Nessie is still a mystery48．What does this passage mainly talk about?A. The natural scenery of Loch Ness.B. The Nessie.C.

Wikipedia is ranked among the ten most popular websites and is considered the Internet’s largest and most popular g eneral reference book. Now, Wikipedia is becoming Wookiepedia as scientists hope the informative website will help us reach out to intelligent life forms. So aliens can learn about the human race.Astronomers would like to beam (播送) the entire contents of Wikipedia into space in the hope of contacting aliens. They want to send messages to hundreds of star systems and planets 20 light years away using radio telescopes. The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute, in California, wants to use powerful radio telescopes to try to reach Chewbacca and his mates in a galaxy(银河系)far away.The plans will be discussed by astronomers at the weekend as some scientists fear the reply from ET might not turn out to be friendly. Institute scientist David Black sai d, “One question is if there are dangerous creatures we might be drawing their attention to ourselves. Another is if we go ahead, what message should be sent? There could be many civilizations out there，but if they are all listening and no one is broadcast ing or responding, then nothing will happen.”Professor Stephen Hawking, who has warned that intelligent aliens probably exist and we should keep a safe distance from them, is among those. “If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus lan ded in America which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans,” he said. Signals from Earth’s radio and TV broadcasts have been heading out in space for some 60 years reaching around 5,000 stars.49．What does the underlined word those in the fourth paragraph refer to?A. aliens from spaceB. astronomers sending signalsC. scientists for the plansD. scientists against the plans50．What has Prof. Stephen Hawking warned?A. intelligent aliens would probably land in America.B. the plans will be in vain and nothing will happen.C. none of the civilizations would reply.D. aliens would bring disasters to the human race.51．Which can be the best title?A. Wikipedia, the most popular websiteB. Wikipedia to be beamed into spaceC. Wikipedia, aliens’ best friendD. Wikipedia to result in a disasterA great loss—Shirley Temple dies at 85February 12, 2014NG, Associated PressShirley Temple Black, who died on February 10th at age 85, wasn’t just a child star. She was THE child star—the sweet little girl whose shining smile helped illumine some of the darkest days the US has known during the Great Depression.It’s hard today to imagine the super star Shirley was once “America’s Little Darling”. She sang and danced her way to the top of the box office in such films as BrightEyes, CurlyTop and Heidi. By 1940, she had appeared in 43 films. Temple teamed with Bill Robison in four movies, and their dance on the stairs in TheLittleColonel is still a legendary film moment.In the 1930s, her name on a movie introduction assured(保证) a packed house. She inspired dolls, dresses, dishes—even a drink (alcohol-free, of course).US President Franklin D. Roosevelt once famously said that “as long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right.’’Unlike so many of today’s child stars, Temple didn’t end up with her name appearing across the headlines for bad behaviors. Instead of getting her photos on front pages or struggling with drugs and alcohol, Temple went on to a second career in diplomacy (外交), including presidential appointments as ambassador to Ghana.She surprised a lot of people who doubted her with her grace, knowledge and eagerness to serve. In fact, her career in public service (20 years) was longer than her career in movies (19). The role she valued most, however, was as wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.The world has lost a treasured Hollywood legend. But her movies will allow that little dynamic figure to continue charming audiences for a very long time.52．The word “illumine” in Paragraph 1 means _______.Shorten B. Sweeten C. strengthen D. brighten53．Temple, as a child movie star, can best be described as _______.A.sweet and livelyB.gentle and kindC.smart and knowledgeableD.shy and attractive54．What part did she regard as the most important in her life?A.A top movie star.B.A businesswoman.C.Her family role.D.Her diplomacy career. 55．Where does this passage possibly come from?。
