I love my fiancé（未婚夫）a lot but we are getting into a lot of arguments (25) ________ o ur wedding plans. I would prefer a small wedding, just our im mediate family and closest friends. I think it is such a special moment and I only want the people who are most important to be near us. I don’t want to be surrounded by people not really(26)_________ (care) about us. He wants the whole world to be there——the mail carrier, the baker, the butcher!!! My fiancé says a we dding day is (27)___________ (important) day in anyone’s life. He wants to share his joy with everyone.It’s not a question whether we can afford it although I do worr y about how much a wedding costs and I would rather save th e money for a house. I dislike (28) ________ (fight) but I just d on’t feel comfortable with his plans.——NervousDear Nervous,Planning weddings (29)________be very stressful. Each perso n has clear ideas about (30)________ his or her “perfect” wed ding would be. Each person has dreams and hopes for that d ay. Now it is (31)_______ good time to practice compromising(妥协) with your husband-to-be. Neither one of you should be unhappy on your wedding d ay. If you get your way, your husband will be unhappy. If he g ets his way, it sounds (32)_______ _________ you will be unha ppy.Why don’t the two of you talk about a compromise? Perhaps a medium-sized wedding?

You both ca n start now.——Sally(B)Since early times, people (33) ______ (fascinate) by the idea o f life existing somewhere else besides the Earth. Until recently , scientists believe that life on other planets was just a hopeful dream. But now they are beginning (34)______(locate) places where life could form.

But n ow places have been found on earth, (40) ______ are in total blackness such as caves several miles beneath the surface. And bacteria, primitive forms of life, have been seen there.

Each word can only be used once. Note that ther e is one word more than you need.A. signalB. forceC. commercialD. functioningE. actuallyF. originalG. identifying H. track I. monitor J. disaster K. weightYou never see him, but they’re with you every time you fly. Th ey record where you are going, how fast you’re traveling and whether everything on your airplane is 41 normally. Their a bility to withstand (承受) almost any 42 makes them seem like something out of a magic book. They’re known as the black box.When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India Ocean June 30, 2009, th e black box is the best bet for 43 what went wrong. So whe n a French submarine (潜水艇) detected the device’s 44 five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a traged y in which 152 passengers were killed.In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would45 basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. 46 flights by 1960. Early models often failed to with stand crashes, however, so in 1965 the box was completely r edesigned and moved to the back of the plane—the area least affected by impact—from its 47 position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required th at the boxes, which were never 48 black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which is designed to track pilots’ conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which is meant to 49 fuel levels, engine nois es and other operating functions that help investigators recon struct the aircraft’s final moments. Placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand huge 50 and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When in deep water, th ey’re also able to send signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Exper ts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashe d near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, b ut statistics say they’re still likely to turn up. In the approximat ely 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane’s black boxes were never recovered.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are f our words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The Beginning of DramaThere are many theories about the beginning of drama in anci ent Greece. The one most widely accepted today is 51 on t he assumption that drama evolved from ritual( 宗教仪式). The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginni ng, human beings 52 the natural forces of the world—even the seasonal changes—as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to 53 these unknown and feared powers. Those measures whi ch appeared to bring the desired results were then kept and repeated until they changed into 54 rituals.55 , stories arose which explained or masked the mysteries of the rituals. As times passed, some rituals were 56 , but t he stories, later called myths, continued to exist and provided material for art and drama.Those who believed that drama evolved out of ritual also argu e that those rituals contained the seed of theatre because mu sic, dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used.57 , a suitable site had to be provided for performances and when the entire community did not participate, a(n) 58 divisi on was usually made between the “area of acting” and the “ar ea in which an audience sits”. Besides, there were performers , and, since considerable importance was 59 to avoiding mistakes in the practice of rituals, religious leaders usually 6 0 that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often imitat ed other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed (用哑剧表演出) the 61 effect—success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the S un—as an actor might. Eventually such dramatic representatives w ere separated from 62 activities.Another theory traces the theater’s origin from the human inte rest in 63 . According to this view, tales about the hunt, war or other things are told and gradually spread 64 through th e use of action and dialogue by a narrator and then through th e assumption of each of the roles by a different person. A clos ely related theory traces theater to those dances that are prim arily gymnastic or that are 65 of animal movements and sounds.51. A .focused B. depended C. basedD. determined52. A. viewed B. employed C. imaginedD. dismissed53. A. acknowledge B. control C guaranteeD. possess54. A. usual B. direct C. convincing D . fixed55 A. Apparently B. Actually C. Eventually D. Naturally56. A. spread B. abandoned C. followedD. celebrated57. A. As a result B. In fact C. On the contraryD. In addition58. A. conscious B. concreteC clear D extra59. A. attached B. related C. committed D. exposed60. A. put up B. took up C. took onD. put on61. A. unexpected B. unpredicted C. preparedD. desired62. A. social B. political C. economicD. religious63. A. accounts B. story-telling C. descriptions D drama-writing64. A. at that time B. at a time C. at firstD. at once65. A. imitations B. demonstration C. presentation s D. exhibitionsSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passag e is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. F or each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information give n in the passage you have just read.AShyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned about their own appear ance and actions too much. Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making ? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattracti ve clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect peo ple unfavorably. A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the wa y a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In gener al, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect o n all areas of their lives.Shy people, who have low self-respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by other s. They need faith that they are doing "the right thing". Shy pe ople are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior. They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because th ey believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may res pond to a praise with a statement like this one: "You're just sa ying that to make me feel good, I know it's not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fo rtunately, people can overcome shyness with determination si nce shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self respect. It is i mportant for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we u nderstand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.66. The first paragraph is mainly about___________.A. the cause of shynessB. the effect of shyness on peopleC. the feelings of shy peopleD. the questions in the minds of shy people67. According to the writer, self-awareness is___________.A. harmful to peopleB. a weak point of shy peopleC. the cause of unhappinessD. a good characte ristic68. What is the shy people's reaction to praise?A. They are pleased by it.B. They feel it is not true .C. They are very sensitive to it.D. They feel they are worthy of it.69. We can learn from the passage that shyness can _______ ____.A. block our chances for a successful lifeB. help us to live up to our full developmentC. enable us to understand ourselves betterD. have nothing to do with lack of self respectBRoughly half of college students will have some degree of d epression at some point during their time in school. Even mor e startling, 6.2 percent of college students surveyed in 2012 c onsidered suicide and 1.3 percent attempted it, according to a n American College Health Association study released this sp ring. If you’re feeling depressed on campus, you may find the following tips helpful.Exercise: Physical activity releases endorphins – chemicals th at produce an overall positive feeling within the body, which fi ght depression naturally. Mental health experts claim that exe rcise is a solution to those feeling mild or moderate depressio n. However, for those severely depressed, simply doing sport s is not enough.Use school counseling services: Campuses don’t employ men tal health experts simply to throw thousands of dollars down t he drain. Their job is to help students, so experts recommend you use them. Most students, however, are hesitant to take a trip to their college’s counseling center, fearing being laughed at by peers. As a result, some schools like Texas Christian Un iversity, are testing students for mental health problems when they get sick and visit the campus health clinic.Take advantage of technology: Staying in touch with family m embers and friends from childhood and high school has beco me easier than ever with the coming of Facebook and video c hat services like Skype. While mental health experts insist tha t it’s important to make friends in your new environment and b e involved in the college community, it’s also significant to kee p in touch with the people you knew before college.Go to sleep: Following a fairly regular sleep pattern can defen d you against depression. In college, many students’ sleep pa tterns are irregular thanks to late-night studying and partying, which is harmful to their mental h ealth. Research strongly suggests that sleep is the key to lear ning and memory formation.70. According to the passage, physical activity __________.A. is regarded as the best way to fight depressionB. contributes to the release of endorphinsC. can’t help the seriously depressed studentsD. improve people’s ability to learn and memorize71. It can be inferred from the 3rd paragraph that __________.A. employing mental health experts on campus is a waste of moneyB. students with mental health problems can’t get on well withothersC. going to college’s counseling center for help requires a lot of courageD. sick students in Texas Christian University must take psyc hological tests72. Taking advantage of technology is encouraged because it ______________.A. provides a way to avoid getting boredB. helps students stay in contact with othersC. offers students a way to make new friendsD. enables students to get involved in college life73. Which of the following can NOT help one reduce depressi on?A. Taking exercise regularly every week.B. Chatting with old friends with Skype.C. Turning to mental health experts for advice.D. Holding parties deep into the night to relax.CYou Are What You EatGenetic engineering is the scientific change of the geneticmaterial in a living organism. It allows scientists to identify spe cific genes, to remove them from an organism's chromosome s （染色体）, improve them, analyze them, and possibly clone them, and to then reinsert the changed gene into the original organi sm, or a completely different organism．Unlike traditional bre eding （繁殖）, where a desired quality would be bred within the same s pecies, genetic engineering can insert desired ones into orga nisms of different species．Wow--Did you catch that?Genetic engineering creates many positive contributions to agriculture. For example, by genetically engineered（GE）foods, anti-cancer agents, minerals and vitamins can be increased．Impr oved taste，shelf life, and better transport are all possible. Also, GE plants can increase pest and bacterial resistance, therefore, making the food safe for consumers．But some argue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives, and critics are starting to voice their concerns. U nlike Europe, in the United States labeling is not required on g enetically engineered foods or on foods that contain geneticall y engineered products. Most Americans do not realize that they are, in fact, eating GE foods．The public is also concerned about the unknown health risk s. With limited understanding of genes, scientists cannot predi ct possible effects．Because most genes introduced into GE plants come from sources not introduced into the human body , it is impossible to know if they will cause reactions. Moreover , due to the lack of labeling if allergies（过敏）develop, it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them ．There is also a major moral question in many minds．For m any, the conflict is not if it is safe or not, but it disturbs them b ecause it is unnatural and unnecessary. We are currently pro ducing one and a half times the amount of food needed to fee d the world, yet one in seven people are starving．GE food is unnecessary, and fails to address the root of hunger. Many be lieve that the only people who will benefit are the corporations that produce it．Scientists cannot foresee the possible effects of GE foods, y et we eat them every day without even knowing it. We already have enough food, so why create more that could be potentia lly harmful to us, to the Earth and to all wildlife? I think that the benefits are amazing, but until we know for sure how these fo ods will affect us, they are not worth the risk．74. According to the passage, traditional breeding is different f rom genetic engineeringbecause ________________.A. traditional breeding changes the genes in the same specie sB. traditional breeding changes the genes in different speciesC. traditional breeding takes place within the same speciesD. traditional breeding is more scientific75. "The lack of labeling" in Paragraph 4 indicates __________ ______.A. information concerning gene sources is unavailable to cust omersB. it is currently possible to find the origins of some allergiesC. scientists try to hide potential dangers from customersD. the US government is responsible for GE food76. According to Paragraph 5, GE food is unnecessary becau se_____________.A. it won't help solve the problem of hunger in the worldB. there are potential dangers in producing GE foodC. we're now producing more food than beforeD. customers will benefit from GE food77. What is the author's attitude towards genetic engineering?A. Welcoming．B. Disapproving．C. Unconcerned．D. Optimistic．Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the que stions or complete the statements in the fewest possible word s.We take it for granted that with memory we can remember mo st of things which happened in our life. But it is difficult to ima gine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions(感知), the basis for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, whic h are brought into the present by memory.Memory can be defined as the ability to keep information avail able for later use. It not only includes “remembering”things lik e arithmetic(算术) or historical facts, but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat g ives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspici ous in the grain pile.Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in so me physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting t o compare the memory storage capacity(容量) of a computer with that of a human being. The instant acc ess memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “wor ds”—strings of alphabetic or numerical characters—ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably rec ognizes the meaning of about 1000,000 words of English. Ho wever, this is but a part of the total amount of information that the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number o f faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight. The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem solvin g intelligence of human beings. A large part of a person’s me mory is in terms of words and combinations of words. But whil e language greatly expands the number and the kind of things a person can remember, it also requires a huge memory cap acity. It may well be this capacity that distinguishes humans, s etting them apart from other animals.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in N O MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78. What can we say about “memory”?79. According to the writer, the storage capacity of a human being is ______________________.80. The advanced problem solving intelligence of human bein gs is based on the fact ______________.81. What makes human beings different from other animals a ccording to the passage?第II卷（共47分）I.
