What happened to the flight's 239 passengers and crew after the plane left Kuala Lumpur on Saturday? It is becoming an increasingly desperate question as the days pass.But it's hardly the first mystery of its kind. Here are some half-solved and unsolved airline mysteries that kept investigators clueless for years.Air France Flight 447: An Airbus A330 flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris plunged into the Atlantic Ocean in 2009, killing all 228 passengers and crew on board. But it took a full five days for search and rescue teams to find the wreckage(残骸) and another three years for investigators to report that ice crystals had caused the autopilot to disconnect. The bodies of 74 passengers remain unrecovered.Amelia Earhart: Ace(王牌) pilot Amelia Earhart disappeared in her twin-engine monoplane Electra over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 in an attempt to circumnavigate the globe. No trace of her plane was ever found even after a multi-million dollar search effort, and Earhart was officially declared dead in 1939.Flying Tiger Line Flight 739: A U.S. military flight left Guam in 1962 with more 90 personnel headed for the Philippines, but it never arrived. The pilots never issued a distress call, and 1,300 people involved in the U.S. military search never found any trace of wreckage.British South American Airways: It took more than 50 years to find any trace of the 11 people aboard a 1947 flight that disappeared in the Andes Mountains. A pair of Argentinian rock climbers discovered engine wreckage in the Andes in 1998, and an army expedition later found human remains as well.Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571: A flight headed for Santiago, Chile carrying 45 passengers and crew crashed into the Andes Mountains in poor weather in 1972, killing twelve people. In the meantime, eight were killed in an avalanche(雪崩) that hit the plane's wreckage where they were taking shelter, and the rest stayed alive by eating the flesh of the dead before they were finally found more than two months after disappearing out of the sky.36. What can we learn from Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571?A. 12 people were lost until now.B. 25 people were rescued instantly.C. The rest who stayed alive killed 8 people.D. 8 were killed by a fall of a large mass of snow down a mountainside.37. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Earhart was declared dead by the authorities two years later.B. The bodies of Flight 447 had all been found after three years.C. Two Argentinian rock climbers discovered the dead in the Andes.D. Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 was regarded as the largest air crash.38. The passage has been written to .A. introduce the loss of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370B. explain how to avoid airplane disappearances as a pilotC. tell readers mysterious airplane disappearances in Aviation HistoryD. call on people to protect themselvesBMassachusetts today looks nothing like it did when the first English settlers arrived. Back in the 17th century, forest blanketed the land. Today, roads and towns cover much of the area. But the past is not dead and gone. Just an hour's drive from Boston lies Plymouth Plantation.There you'll experience the 17th century life from the days of the Pilgrims(清教徒移民). You can look in the Pilgrims' homes, watch the way they cook, and ask them about their daily life. You can even help them build houses or work in the fields.When you arrive at Plymouth, you are greeted with "How do you fare?" instead of "How are you?" In this living history plantation, actors portray(展现) real people of 17th century in Plymouth. Each actor has taken the identity of someone from that period.All the actors speak the language of Shakespeare. They're happy to talk about the hardships of their lives or just share the gossip of the day. But don't try to discuss modern topics. They won't understand what you are talking about!In fall, you can enjoy a harvest dinner very similar to the First Thanksgiving. You'll dine with your hands like Pilgrims. You'll find no pepper(胡椒粉) on the table. This expensive spice was used very sparingly(节俭地) in cooking. You'll find no last-course "dessert", either. At the time, people ate sweet dishes right along with the meal.Cranberries were on the menu then and still are today. A short distance from Plymouth, you can visit Cranberry World. At this unique museum, you'll see how cranberries are harvested and can taste different cranberry products.Of course, the First Thanksgiving included not only the Pilgrims, but also their Wampanoag guests. If you want to find out something about the Wampanoag, explore the recreated Wampanoag Homesite. It is just a short walk from Plymouth. Step into the Native American home and enter a different world. Native Americansdressed in 17th century Wampanoag outfits(全套服装) describe how their people lived 400 years ago. Outside, you can help make traditional boat or learn about native plant remedies.Much in Massachusetts has changed since the 17th century. But in Plymouth, the past lives on.39. What do you know about Plymouth Plantation?A. It is a cranberry plantation in Plymouth.B. It is where some old Pilgrims are still living.C. It presents the Pilgrims' lives in the 1600s.D. It is a plantation dating back to the 1700s.40. What can tourists do in Cranberry World?A. Harvest cranberries by yourself.B. Learn how to grow cranberries.C. Taste various cranberry products.D. Visit an old history museum.41. The purpose of the rebuilt of Wampanoag Homesite is to .A. protect Native Americans, the WampanoagB. attract more tourists to stay in PlymouthC. show how the Wampanoag helped the PilgrimsD. keep the 17th century Native Americans' life alive42. What is the best title for the passage?A. An Interesting Journey to PlymouthB. The Life of the PilgrimsC. A Journey to Plymouth's PastD. Life in the 17th CenturyCThe general Allotment Act, passed in 1887 by the United States Congress, was expected to help Native Americans. The Act called for breaking up tribal reservations(部落居留地) and turning them into family-sized farms. Each farm would be given to an individual Native American.The government thought that Native Americans would be better off if they forgot their tribal organizations and their tribal languages. The government expected Native Americans who owned land and farmed for a living to become more like other Americans. But it didn't work out that way. The Native Americans were used to living in tribal groups and sharing with each other. They had always thought of land as something that belonged to the whole tribe, rather than to individuals.With their families scattered on separate farms, many Native Americans were dissatisfied. The land they were given was often poor, and they hadn't the skill to farm it well. Poverty and poor health increased, while the Native American stuck to their old languages and customs. Eventually the government realized that the division of reservation land had made things worse rather than better for Native Americans.The Indian Reorganization Act, passed in 1943, reversed the government's policy. This Act said that all Native American land should be owned by tribes, rather than by individuals. The new Act encouraged tribalorganizations to take responsibility for running tribal affairs. The Act also provided money, which tribes could borrow to buy more land or to start business.Economic conditions have improved for Native Americans. Many tribes run successful manufacturing, mineral leasing, hotels and gambling business. Yet problems of unemployment and poor health still exist. Today Native Americans face a double challenge. They must continue to improve their economic and political position, while at the same time preserving their lands and cultural heritage.43. Why did the government want Native Americans to own land and farm for a living?A. It thought this would make Native Americans more like other Americans.B. It wanted to see if individual Native Americans would drop out of school.C. It wanted to see whether matters could become worse on the reservation.D. It thought all the land and farm should belong to Native Americans.44. Though it is not directly stated, the article suggests that .A. most people who owned land and farmed it were Native AmericansB. Native Americans were used to living on separate farmsC. the government did not quite understand Native American waysD. the customs of the Native Americans were harmful and uncivilized45. On the whole, the article tells us about .A. the good land that was given to Native AmericansB. the government's effort to help that didn't work outC. helping Native Americans on their reservationsD. breaking away from old customs of Native Americans46. Which statement does this article lead you to believe?A. The government wanted to break up family farms.B. Native Americans are very hard to deal with.C. New customs are always better than old ones.D. Old customs usually influence modern life.DSure, it's good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes, it's good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it's smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life.But really, there's one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, "learning bursts right open," says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post Newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they're more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems , such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying(欺负人).As a kid in a primary or middle school, you're at a wonderful stage in your life. You're like a sponge(海绵), able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you're able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person who's giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you're open to what they're teaching you. That's why they wanted to be teachers in the first place—to teach!Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive(敏感的) to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren't going well, they won't learn as well and won't enjoy being in class.47. In the passage, the author mainly talks about .A. how to get along well with teachersB. the importance of a good relation with teachersC. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachersD. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant48. "learning bursts right open" in the third paragraph really means .A. learning becomes easier for you at onceB. you find an opening to learningC. there'll be more problems with learningD. there'll be no problems with learning49. According to the passage, which of the following offers the best reasoning?A. You are getting on well with your teachers, so you have more questions than others.B. You find it comfortable to ask questions, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.C. You have a good relationship with your teacher, so you can turn to him/her when in trouble.D. You are in trouble, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.50. Which of the comments in FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?A. Teachers are excited even if you wouldn't like to accept their teaching.B. Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.C. Though few, there are still some students who can learn even if they don't like the teacher.D. Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.四、短文7选5(5选5等)（共5小题；共10分）A Brief History of SlaveryIt is said that the first known slaves lived more than five thousand years ago in the Sumerian society of what is now Iraq. 51. It expanded as trade and industry increased. This increase created a demand for the labor force to produce goods for export. Slaves did most of the work. Most ancient people thought of slavery as a natural condition that could happen to anyone at any time.52. Sugar was one of these things. Italians set up large sugar farms around the twelfth century. They used slaves from Russia and other parts of Europe to do the work. By the year of thirteen hundred, African blacks had begun to replace the Russian slaves. They were bought or caught from North African Arabs, who used them as slaves for years.By the 1500s, Spain and Portugal got American colonies(殖民地). The Europeans forced native Indians to work in large farms and mines in the colonies. 53. So the Spanish and the Portuguese began to bring in people from West Africa as slaves. France, Britain and the Netherlands did the same in their American colonies.54. That was not true in the early years of the American nation. Many Americans thought slavery was necessary. Yet owning slaves was common among rich people in the early 1700s.55. One example is the famous American diplomat (外交家), inventor and businessman Benjamin Franklin. He owned slaves for thirty years and sold them at his general store. But his ideas about slavery changed during his long life. Benjamin Franklin started the first schools to teach blacks and later argued for their freedom.A. Today, most people in the world see slavery as unfair.B. Most of the Indians died from European diseases and poor treatment.C. People who were rich enough to own many slaves became leaders in their local areas.D. In later times, slaves provided the labor needed to produce products that were in demand.E. Many of the leaders in the colonies who fought for American independence owned slaves.F. Slavery also existed among people in China, India, Africa, the Middle East and the Americas.G. By 1750, almost twenty-five percent of the total number of people in the American colonies were black slaves.五、作文（共1小题；共25分）56. 假设你是某旅行社的一名导游，请根据表格内容用英语向外宾介绍海南岛的基本情况。

ATrash and garbage are other words for waste—things that people no longer want or need. In San Francisco, they are also words for art. A local recycling company, called Recology, created a programme where artists are paid to work for four months on transforming things like old tires, toys and paint.Ma Li is one of the most active artists at the centre. She is working on a project that includes plastic bottles, cardboard tubes and cloth. Ma Li is turning them into a moving sculpture with stars，flowing air and dancers. Ma Li says her parents taught her about recycling when she was growing up in China in the 1980s. San Francisco artist Michael Arcega works with recycled wood and old leather belts, all saved from the garbage.A gallery in Los Angeles is displaying some of the art from the San Francisco project. The show includes pictures made from pieces of labels, sculptures from old metal, and saws that have been cut to look like trees. Each year more than 5，000 children and adults visit shows created by the artists. They also attend educational tours that allow the public to communicate with the artists face to face and learn important lessons about recycling.Artist Ma Li says these artworks have a message. “So everyone can come together to actually make a little change in their daily life and behaviour to actually try to save the environment and resources.”Mike Sangiacomo heads the recycling company. He says he hopes to see as much waste as possible reused. “Along the way, if some of it is made into some fun pieces of art and draws people's attention to the issue, we think it's a great way to do something that's good for our business, good for our community, good for society.”【语篇解读】本文介绍了旧金山一家废品回收公司请一些艺术家参与回收项目，将废品变为艺术品，从而吸引公众对资源回收的关注。

ATen years ago I used to be very fit.I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends.I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks.In those days I didn't earn very much.I had a job in an office.It wasn't a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed.Then，about eight years ago，I got a much better job.The pay was better，but the hours were a lot longer.I bought a car and drove to work every day.I began to take people out to lunch.And I began to put on weight，too.I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn't have any time for things like those any more.There's a lot of stress in my job.Perhaps that's why I started drinking more than I used to.For example，I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home，but then I started filling my glass to the top，and instead of having one glass，I would have several.I started smoking a lot，too.I never used to smoke at all.Two months ago I had a heart attack.At first I just couldn't believe it.Luckily it wasn't very serious.The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less.He also advised me to work less and get more exercise.But I just haven't any time！My job takes everything out of me!Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job.Perhaps I could do something as I used to.But if I do that，I won't earn as much.I have a family to support.I have to think of them，too.I just don't know what I should do.What do you think?[语篇解读] 本文通过讲述前后不同的工作给作者的健康带来了不同的影响的情况，告诉我们要更加关注自己的健康状态，保持身体健康。

They found not only a link between drink and violence but also that children who drank were more likely to be hit, even if they weren't violent themselves.The researchers are now calling for measures to prevent alcohol misuse to reduce injury risk. Current policy focuses on reducing aggression but this research shows that there should be equal effort to reduce victimization.More than 4,000 children were surveyed at 13 schools at four local authorities in the North, the Midlands, London, and the South. The study found that 25% of 11-year-olds were drinking monthly and 3.6% daily, with 12.8% admitting to getting drunk 3 to 5 times a year. By the age of 16, 40% weredrinking weekly and 62% were drinking every day. The research also showed 22.6% of 16-year-olds were getting drunk more than 21 times a year.The study, which has just been published in the Journal of Adolescence, found a strong link between frequency of drinking and frequency of hitting other people.However, children who reported drinking monthly were also three times more likely to be hit. Adolescents(青少年) who drank but didn't get into fights were more likely to be hit than those who did fight.Professor Jonathan Shepherd, who led the research, said a lot of previous alcohol-related violence work had focused on the offenders(惹事的人) rather than the victims. His team is calling for more prevention work from parents and teachers in the first two years of secondary school by taking advantage of the "teachable moment", that is, immediately after a student has missed school because of drunkenness.Previous work by Professor Jonathan Shepherd has shown drinkers may be more at risk of violence because of reduced physical co-ordination, poor decision-making in threatening situations and isolation while out late at night. He said, "This new study seems to be the first to show a direct link between alcohol misuse and victimization. There now needs to be much more effort put into reducing alcohol misuse in order to reduce injury."26. The main idea of the passage is that teenagers who drink alcohol .A. often offend other peopleB. often become injuredC. are more likely to become victims of violenceD. are more likely to fight with others27. The underlined word "aggression" in the third paragraph probably means " ".A. violenceB. sad feelingsC. bad mannersD. drunkenness28. The research argues that more effort should be made to .A. reduce aggressionB. prevent fightingC. reduce victimizationD. prevent drinking alcohol29. Drinkers may be more at risk of violence because of all the following EXCEPT .A. reduced physical co-ordinationB. isolation while out late at nightC. a higher frequency of hitting other peopleD. poor decision-making in threatening situations30. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to Professor Shepherd's research?A. The frequency of children getting drunk increases with age.B. His previous alcohol-related violence work had focused on the offenders.C. Some children missed school because of drunkenness.D. This new study shows a direct link between alcohol misuse and victimizationBThe morning for our snowmobiling(雪上汽车) adventure finally arrived, and we set off on the hour-and-a-half drive to the resort. A fresh powder had fallen the night before, and everything was frosted white. We couldn't have asked for more perfect conditions. The sun sparkled(闪光) on the snow, and the trails(路线) were completely empty—not another person or snowmobile in sight. We were thrilled at being the only people for miles around... until we got going.As we drove through the deserted wilderness(荒野), my excitement became stone-cold fear. I had no idea what I was afraid of, or why I was afraid, but suddenly every turn, every hill, every steep(陡峭的) side of the mountain scared me to death. I kept picturing us crashing headlong into a tree or falling off the side of a drop.But after lunch things changed. We were the only humans who had been there since the snowfall. The peaceful place, the incredible beauty of the landscape, and the almost sacred experience of sharing a mountain with the wildlife touched my very core(核心). My mind cleared and quieted and my muscles relaxed.As we drove the last leg of the run, I began to resent being afraid to drive. Deep down, I wanted to be in charge of the thing that scared me. It made me angry that fear was keeping me from something I really wanted to do. The day was coming to an end, and the resort was only a few miles away. I knew that if I didn't take my chance now, I would regret it.I signaled to my husband to pull over. I wanted to drive, although my heart pounded(重击). I stared off slowly and felt the wind in my face. I smiled and sped up a little. I let out a "Yee-haw!" and went full out, taking my husband on the best ride of the day.We ended the day on that breathless, carefree, and I felt proud of myself—proud of overcoming my fear.31.

He holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves. Blowing on one of the leaves, he produces a sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song. Some other musicians are also playing the traditional instruments from various ethnic groups in China.It' s the first time such music has ever been performed in the Grand Theater. But all this is the efforts of Zhu Zheqin, a Cantonese—born singer, who has made it her mission to help preserve China' s traditional ethnic music.In 2009, after being appointed a United Nations Development Program ambassador, Zhu traveled through some of China's remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups. In the course other four-month trip, she recorded more than a thousand songs. But she noticed that many of the best musicians were old, and some of the music was at risk of dying out."I was shocked by the beauty of what I heard—it was so good," she says. "But it needed support.I hope to let people see the beauty of these things in the contemporary times."So Zhu decided to introduce some of the musicians to a wider audience. By doing this, she hopes to rekindle(点燃) the interest of the younger generation. "Young people don't like this music much; they prefer pop music and love songs. They think these songs are something their grandma sings. This kind of repackaging gives young people a new door into their heritage."Zhu believes China needs to look again at its own roots. "China today is basically all Western art; in our conservatories(音乐学院) Western classical music is the top," she says. "For China to reallycontribute to the world, we need to go on our own path. So what can represent China today?" The answer, she suggests, is to move from "made in China" to "created in China".41. From the first paragraph, we learn that .A. the audience are all young peopleB. Guo Yong is playing the Buyi folk musicC. Guo Yong is the only minority performer on the stageD. tree branches make good musical instruments42. Which of the following is true of Zhu Zheqin?A. She teaches music in a conservatories.B. She is helping preserve Chinese ethnic music.C. She works as an official in the United Nations.D. She' s created all the music for the Grand Theater.43. Zhu Zheqin travelled to some of China's remotest regions to .A. record the traditional ethnic musicB. help the local musicians play the musicC. show the UN Chinese musical traditionsD. enjoy the music of various ethnic groups44. What is Zhu Zheqin's idea about Chinese traditional music?A. It is completely out of date.B. Only old musicians play it well.C. It needs changes to attract young people.D. It is quickly dying out.45. What does Zhu Zheqin mean in the last paragraph?A. The traditional music should be repackaged.B. Chinese conservatories shouldn't teach Western music.C. China has contributed a lot to the Western art.D. Only the things created in China can be symbols of China.四、短文7选5(5选5等)（共5小题；共10分）Americans use many expressions with the word "dog". People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. 46. However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog's life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. 47. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.48. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach anold dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.49. People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite.Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard.50.A. Still, people say every dog has its day.B. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.C. Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways.D. Dogs are their best friends and they are loyal to people.E. There are many other expressions waiting for you to explore.F. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs.G. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care.五、短文改错（共11小题；共35分）ADear Katherine,How exciting I am to hear you are coming to visit me the next Friday.

The academics said this meant the classics were more useful than self-help books.Philip Davis, an English professor who has worked on the study with the university's magnetic resonance centre, will tell a conference this week: "Serious literature acts like a rocket-booster to the brain.The research shows the power of literature to shift mental pathways, to create new thoughts, shapes and connections in the young and the elderly alike.31. How do classics such as Shakespeare and Wordsworth benefit the readers?A. They set off far less electrical activity in the brain.B. They light up the mind shorter than the initial electrical spark.C. They shift physical pathways in the young and the elderly.D. They draw readers' attention and help make self-examination.32. Why do they "translate" the texts into more "straightforward", modern language?A. To prove that classics are more useful than ordinary versions.B. To show self-help books act like rocket-boosters to the brain.C. To tell serious literature sets off far less electrical activity.D. To make known ordinary versions set off more electrical activity.33. What does the underlined word "encountered" probably mean in the passage?A. found outB. met withC. learned aboutD. knew about34.

The software could eventually allow smartphone-armed soldiers to target the location of their enemies. On the home front, the software could be used by everyone, including golfers judging distance to the green and biologists documenting the location of a rare animal without disturbing it."The great advantage of a smartphone is that it provides so many tools in a single, readily available, relatively inexpensive package," said Wang Qia, a doctoral student who led the development of the software. "For example, on the battlefield, a soldier needs a rangefinder, compass, GPS and other tools to get information before calling in an air strike. With our software, the soldier can have all those instruments in one device that can be purchased off the shelf. When that soldier returns from war, she can use the same software to protect her family by clocking a speeder near her children's school and catching the criminal on video."Wang and his colleagues developed their software to locate and track:Targets of known size—When the size of a target is known, a single image is enough to pinpoint the target's location.Targets of unknown size—If the exact size of a target is unknown, the software uses two images to triangulate the location of the target.Moving targets—By taking a short video of a moving target, the smartphone software can calculate how fast the target is moving and in what direction it is going."Currently, our software is limited by the physical abilities of smartphone hardware, but the devices are improving rapidly," Wang said, "We expect that improvements in GPS accuracy, battery life and camera resolution will allow our software to make even more accurate observations."43. From Paragraph 1 we can know that the new software can .A. determine the speed of moving objectsB. locate objects in the distance exactlyC. defend soldiers against their enemiesD. help biologists protect rare animals44.

Smartphone-armed Soldiers on the BattlefieldEGetting out of bed into the darkness, the man searches around his room with strange intentions. Soon, he finds what he is looking for. Grasping a pencil, he begins drawing on a used newspaper. He bends over his work for an hour as a beautiful image appears. But the artist seems to be hardly conscious.Lee Hadwin, by day a nurse, at night is a sleepwalking artist who produces strange and fantastic works of art, which he has no memory of drawing when he wakes the next morning. Hadwin says he is completely confused about his nighttime talent, especially as in the daytime, he shows no interest or ability in art at all.Hadwin, 33, from North Wales, is now being investigated by the Edinburgh Sleep Centre. "It is horrible," he says, "I feel exhausted when I wake up. It is only in the following days that I'm able to look at what I've produced and appreciate it. At first, I just feel terrible. Now I am receiving therapy(治疗) in an attempt to discover what causes my subconscious self to draw. I want to get to the root of it."An incredible video of Hadwin at work in a sleepwalker's state has already become a hit after it was shown on the Internet. The video shows Hadwin drawing at great speed, but not answering his name being called out by witnesses. Major galleries have also been asking for examples of his work. Hoping to develop the strange ability, Hadwin started leaving artist's materials out when he went to bed. Although he leaves colored paints and pencils out, he has never drawn in color. Hadwin said, "Each morning I wake up and see a newly-created piece of art lying beside my bed, I breathe a sigh of relief that my gift still belongs to me."47. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to the .A. darknessB. pencilC. work of artD. talent48. According to the text, Hadwin .A. has great interest in drawing in the daytimeB. feels lucky to have the extraordinary giftC. hopes to lose his strange abilityD. doesn't want to receive treatment49.

With a warm hello, she invited me into her home. I noticed twelve beautiful roses delicately presented on the table next to her bed. They looked exactly like the 22 on my dining room table in front of my oversized window. With a pleasant smile, she told me Jimmy brought them to her as a "get-well gift".

This sounds incredible(难以置信的), but Alex Waibel, a computer science professor at US's Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Germany's University of Karlsruhe, announced last week that it may soon be reality. He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier for people who speak different languages to understand each other.One application(应用软件), called Lecture Translation, can easily translate a speech from one language into another. Current translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary. Users also have to be trained how to use the program.Another prototype(雏形机) can send translations of a speech to different listeners depending on what language they speak. "It is like having a simultaneous(同时的) translator right next to you but without disturbing the person next to you," Waibel said.Prefer to read? So-called Translation Glasses transcribe(转录) the translations on a tiny liquid-crystal(液晶) display (LCD) screen.Then there's the Muscle Translator. Electrodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle movements made naturally when a person is mouthing words. The signals are then translated into speech. The electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips implanted in a person's face, according to researchers.During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMU's Pittsburgh campus, a Chinese student named Stan Jou had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks, neck and throat. Then he mouthed—without speaking aloud—a few words in Mandarin(普通话) to the audience. A few seconds later, the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and Spanish, "Let me introduce our new prototype."This particular gadget(器具), when fully developed, might allow anyone to speak in any number of languages or, as Waibel put it, "to switch your mouth to a foreign language". "The idea behind the university's prototypes is to create 'good enough' bridges for cross-cultural exchanges that are becoming more common in the world," Waibel said.With spontaneous(自发的) translators, foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warnings on the radio, tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people, and leaders of different countries could have secret talks without any interpreters there.31. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. A Lecture Translation can translate what you said into other languages easily.B. There is no Muscle Translator in the world now.C. Muscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move your mouth.D. The spontaneous translators will help us a lot.32. What kind of equipment is NOT mentioned in this passage?A. Lecture Translation.B. Muscle Translator.C. Multiple Translator.D. Translation Prototype.33. What's the final destination of inventing the language translators?A. To make cultural exchanges between different countries easier.B. To help students learn foreign languages more easily.C. To make people live in foreign countries more comfortably.D. To help people learn more foreign languages in the future.34. What can be inferred from the seventh paragraph?A. The translator is so good that it can translate any language into the very language you need.B. The translator is becoming more and more common in the world as a bridge.C. With the help of the translator, you only need to open your mouth when you want to say something without saying the exact words at all.D. The translator needs to be improved before being put into market.BYou are careful with your money: you collect all kinds of coupons; look for group-buy deals if you eat out; you don't buy clothes unless in a sale. Does all this make you a wise consumer?Let's do the math first: you walk into a coffee shop and see two deals for a cup of coffee. The first deal offers 33 percent extra coffee. The second takes 33 percent off the regular price. What's the better deal? Well, they are about the same, you'd think. And you'd be wrong. The deals appear to be equal, but in fact, they are different. Here's the math: Let's say the standard coffee is 10 yuan and let's divide the amount of coffee into three portions(部分). That makes about 3.3 yuan per portion. The first deal gets you 4 portions for 10 yuan (2.5 yuan per portion) and the second gets you 3 portions of coffee for about 6.6 yuan (2.2 yuan per portion) and is therefore a better deal.In a new study published by the Journal of Marketing, participants were asked the same question, and most of them chose the first deal, the Atlantic website reported. Why? Because getting something extra for free feels better than getting the same for less. The applications of this view into consumer psychology(心理) are huge. Instead of offering direct discounts, shops offer larger sizes or free samples.According to the study, the reason why these marketing tricks work is that consumers don't really know how much anything should cost, so we rely on parts of our brains that aren't strictly quantitative. There are some traps we should be aware of when shopping. First of all, we are heavily influenced by the first number. Suppose you are shopping in Hong Kong. You walk into Hermes, andyou see a 100,000 yuan bag. "That's crazy." You shake your head and leave. The next shop is Gucci, a handbag here costs 25,000 yuan. The price is still high, but compared to the 100,000 yuan price tag you just committed to your memory, this is a steal. Stores often use the price difference to set consumers' expectation.Another trap we often fall to is that we are not really sure what things are worth. And so we use clues(暗示) to tell us what we ought to pay for them. US economist Dan Ariely has done an experiment to prove this. According to the Atlantic, Ariely pretended he was giving a lecture on poetry. He told one group of students that the tickets cost money and another group that they would be paid to attend. Then he informed both groups that the lecture was free. The first group was anxious to attend, believing they were getting something of value for free. The second group mostly declined, believing they were being forced to volunteer for the same event without reward.What's a lecture on poetry by an economist worth? The students had no idea. That's the point. Do we really know what a shirt is worth? What about a cup of coffee? What's the worth of a life insurance policy? Who knows? Most of us don't. As a result, our shopping brain uses only what is knowable: visual(视觉的) clues, invited emotions, comparisons, and a sense of bargain. We are not stupid. We are just easily influenced.35. The first paragraph of the passage is intended to .A. ask a questionB. introduce a topicC. give some examplesD. describe a phenomenon36. The writer takes the math for example in Paragraph 2 to show .A. consumers usually fall into marketing trapsB. consumers' expectation is difficult to predictC. consumers' purchasing power is always changingD. consumers rely on their own judgment when shopping37. What consumer psychology is mentioned in the passage?A. The first number has little influence on which item should be bought.B. Consumers never use visual clues to decide how much should be paid.C. Getting something extra for free is better than getting the same for less.D. Consumers never rely on parts of the brains that aren't strictly quantitative.38. What can we know from US economist Dan Ariely's experiment?A. Ariely's free lecture enjoyed popularity among students.B. The students actually didn't know what the lecture was worth.C. The second group was willing to be volunteers without reward.D. The first group was eager to find out the value of Ariely's lecture.CA cyclic(周期的) drop in the sun's radiation can cause unusually cold winters in parts of North America and Europe, scientists say, a finding that could improve long-range forecasts and help countries prepare for snowstorms.Scientists have known for a long time that the sun has an 11-year cycle during which radiation measured by sunspots on the surface reaches a peak then falls. But explaining a clear link to weather has proved harder."Our research confirms the observed link between solar change and regional winter climate," lead author Sarah Ineson of the UK Met Office told the reporters in an email. The study was published in the journal Nature Geoscience on Monday.Her team focused on data from the recent solar minimum during 2008-2010, a period of unusual calm for the sun and extreme winters in the United States and parts of Europe that shut down air travel and disrupted(使混乱) business.The researchers found that a reduction in ultraviolet(UV，紫外线的) radiation from the sun can affect high-altitude wind patterns in the North Hemisphere(半球), causing cold winters."While UV levels won't tell us what the day-to-day weather will do, they provide the exciting prospect of improved forecasts for winter conditions for months and even years ahead. These forecasts play an important role in long-term possibility planning," Ineson, a climate scientist, said.Ineson and colleagues from Imperial College London and the University of Oxford used satellite data that more accurately measures UV radiation from the sun and found a much greater change than previously thought.They found that in years of low activity, unusually cold air forms high in the atmosphere over the tropics(回归线). This causes a redistribution(重新分配) of heat in the atmosphere, making easterly winds that bring freezing weather and snowstorms to northern Europe and the United States and milder weather to Canada and the Mediterranean.When solar UV radiation is stronger, the opposite occurs.Ineson's team used the data in a complex computer model that simulates(模拟) long-term weather patterns. The model successfully reproduced what scientists have observed happening in the upper atmosphere during changes in solar radiation.More study was needed, though. A key uncertainty in the experiment lay in the satellite data used, because it covers only a few years. "So questions remain concerning both accuracy and also applicability to other solar cycles," she said.39. The new finding claims cold winters in the North Hemisphere can be caused by .A. a sharp rise in the amount of sunspotB. a complex computer model simulationC. a clear link between the sun and the earthD. a decrease in the sun's UV radiation40. It has long been known by scientists that .A. UV radiation can affect high-altitude wind patternsB. there's a clear link between the sun's activity and weatherC. they can predict day-to-day weather conditions from UV levelsD. the sun's radiation reaches a peak every eleven years41. What will happen if the sun turns into years of high activity according to the finding?A. Canada and the Mediterranean will have milder weather.B. Burning hot weather will appear in northern Europe and the United States.C. Freezing cold weather will appear in northern Europe and the United States.D. The whole Northern Hemisphere will suffer from extreme winter day.42. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the research doesn't seem accurate enough due to limited satellite data usedB. long-term weather conditions can be accurately predicted depending on UV levelsC. climate scientists have just begun their research in severe weather forecastD. research have analyzed the data collected in eleven yearsDWhat is so different about Moisture Surge?These hydrating formulas (保湿配方) rapidly make thirsty skin smooth and soft.

Doctor's notebookC. magazineD. bottle of medicineEPoorer children would be offered the chance to attend lessons on Saturday to help catch up with their middle-class peers(同龄人), the shadow schools secretary, Michael Gove, said today.The Conservatives would give English state schools the freedom to choose to have longer teaching hours and extra classes at the weekend, he told the Association of Teachers and Lecturers' annual conference.Gove said the move would help to close the achievement gap with richer children whose parents could afford extras such as tutoring and music lessons.He told delegates(代表) in Manchester, "For children who come from homes where parents don't have the resources to provide additional stretch and cultural experiences, there are benefits in having those children in the learning environment, in school, for longer.""Parents would love to have schools starting earlier in some circumstances, and certainly going on later in the afternoon, given the reality of their working lives," he said. He held up the example of Kipp (Knowledge Is Power Program) schools in the US, which are often based in the poorest communities and open from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, plus Saturdays.But it would be up to schools to decide to offer longer hours, Gove added.Parents said Saturday classes could become a "badge of dishonor" if pupils were forced to go while teachers raised concerns about their workload.Margaret Morrissey, of Parents Outloud, said, "I think the suggestion the government made about one-to-one teaching for these kids would be a more preferable way of improving these children's performance. I'm just not sure whether taking away a child at weekends is actually going to make them cleverer in the week."The ATL's general secretary, Mary Bousted said, "If we want Saturday schools, then we need more teachers doing the extra hours, not the same teachers working longer."47.

A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple一look down, or look at your phone.Why are we so awkward in lifts?"You don't have enough space/ Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC, H Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm r s length of distance between us. And thafs not possible in most elevators/1In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed （理解）as threatening or odd. n The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact/* she said.51.The main purpose of the article is to ________ ・A. remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevatorB・ tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquetteC・ share an interesting but awkward elevator rideD・ analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator52.According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _________ .A.turn around and greet one anotherB.look around or examine their phoneC.make eye contact with those in the elevatorD.try to keep a distance from other people53.Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in anelevator?54.The underlined phrase H sizc up H in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ________A・ judge B. ignoreC・ put up with D・ make the best of55.According to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of ________ .A.someone's odd behaviorsB.the lack of spaceC.their unfamiliarity with one anotherD.their eye contact with one another四、短文7选5（5选5等）（共5小题；共10分）56,_______ Perfect condition means that the coins don't have any mark and that they look justas shiny as they did when they came off the mint（造币厂）.Some people like to keep them in small plastic sleeves but these are hard to keep track of, especially if you have a lot of them. 57. _______________ A coin collecting book will keep your coins behind a plastic sheathe and thus will protect your collection.

The academics said this meant the classics were more useful than self-help books.Philip Davis, an English professor who has worked on the study with the university's magnetic resonance centre, will tell a conference this week: "Serious literature acts like a rocket-booster to the brain.The research shows the power of literature to shift mental pathways, to create new thoughts, shapes and connections in the young and the elderly alike.26. How do classics such as Shakespeare and Wordsworth benefit the readers?A. They set off far less electrical activity in the brain.B. They light up the mind shorter than the initial electrical spark.C. They shift physical pathways in the young and the elderly.D. They draw readers' attention and help make self-examination.27. Why do they "translate" the texts into more "straightforward", modern language?A. To prove that classics are more useful than ordinary versions.B. To show self-help books act like rocket-boosters to the brain.C. To tell serious literature sets off far less electrical activity.D. To make known ordinary versions set off more electrical activity.28. What can we conclude according to the researchers?A. Self-help books are more valuable than classics.B. Serious literature lights up the mind shorter than ordinary versions.C. The right hemisphere of the brain is related to autobiographical memory.D. Literature has a beneficial effect only on the mind of the young.29. What does the underlined word "encountered" probably mean in the passage?A. found outB. met withC. learned aboutD. knew about30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Ordinary Versions Create New ThoughtsB. Modern Language Increases the BrainC. Classics Help Improve the Brain ActivityD.

The software could eventually allow smartphone-armed soldiers to target the location of their enemies. On the home front, the software could be used by everyone, including golfers judging distance to the green and biologists documenting the location of a rare animal without disturbing it."The great advantage of a smartphone is that it provides so many tools in a single, readily available, relatively inexpensive package," said Wang Qia, a doctoral student who led the development of the software. "For example, on the battlefield, a soldier needs a rangefinder, compass, GPS and other tools to get information before calling in an air strike. With our software, the soldier can have all those instruments in one device that can be purchased off the shelf. When that soldier returns from war, she can use the same software to protect her family by clocking a speeder near her children's school and catching the criminal on video."Wang and his colleagues developed their software to locate and track:Targets of known size—When the size of a target is known, a single image is enough to pinpoint the target's location.Targets of unknown size—If the exact size of a target is unknown, the software uses two images to triangulate the location of the target.Moving targets—By taking a short video of a moving target, the smartphone software can calculate how fast the target is moving and in what direction it is going."Currently, our software is limited by the physical abilities of smartphone hardware, but the devices are improving rapidly," Wang said. "We expect that improvements in GPS accuracy, battery life and camera resolution will allow our software to make even more accurate observations."36.

Smartphone-armed Soldiers on the BattlefieldDGetting out of bed into the darkness, the man searches around his room with strange intentions. Soon, he finds what he is looking for. Grasping a pencil, he begins drawing on a used newspaper. He bends over his work for an hour as a beautiful image appears. But the artist seems to be hardly conscious.Lee Hadwin, by day a nurse, at night is a sleepwalking artist who produces strange and fantastic works of art, which he has no memory of drawing when he wakes the next morning. Hadwin says he is completely confused about his nighttime talent, especially as in the daytime, he shows no interest or ability in art at all.Hadwin, 33, from North Wales, is now being investigated by the Edinburgh Sleep Centre. "It is horrible," he says, "I feel exhausted when I wake up. It is only in the following days that I'm able to look at what I've produced and appreciate it. At first, I just feel terrible. Now I am receiving therapy(治疗) in an attempt to discover what causes my subconscious self to draw. I want to get to the root of it."An incredible video of Hadwin at work in a sleepwalker's state has already become a hit after it was shown on the Internet. The video shows Hadwin drawing at great speed, but not answering his name being called out by witnesses. Major galleries have also been asking for examples of his work. Hoping to develop the strange ability, Hadwin started leaving artist's materials out when he went to bed. Although he leaves colored paints and pencils out, he has never drawn in color. Hadwin said: "Each morning I wake up and see a newly-created piece of art lying beside my bed, I breathe a sigh of relief that my gift still belongs to me."41. What is unusual about Lee Hadwin?A.

You will not only save time, but also your focus will increase and you will have fun reading even the uninteresting reports.47. This plays to the advantage of the tired reader who wants to stay current but has very little time to read. Often all you need to understand a news piece is the first paragraph. Here the reporter will tell you what's happening, who it's happening to and where it's happening.Sometimes you don't even need to read the entire paragraph because the first sentence or the first couple of sentences give you all the information. If you still have more time you can move on to step two. 48. Read the last paragraph. Some news pieces are follow-ups of events that were earlier reported. In such a situation, the first paragraph may not give you all the information you need.49. It's usually in the last paragraph that the user is given the background information that leads to the story.Read the “quotes” after you've read the first and last paragraphs and you still feel you need more information or have more time to play with, you can come into middle of the piece by reading the direct speech of the sources of the news item. In all forms of writing where quotations are used, the writer leads the reader into the quotes and then leads the reader out. This takes too much space and therefore, robs the reader out of some precious time.50.A. Read the first paragraph.B. But the last paragraph will do the job.C. The first paragraph may be not important at all.D. Otherwise, you can stop reading.E. Here are three techniques you can use.F. So glide directly to the quotation marks and read what's within them.G. If you follow these steps, it's possible to get about 80 percent of a news piece.五、短文改错（共11小题；共35分）ADear Mark,It's pity you can't go over your lessons with us.
