Self-cleaning clothes have now been created, and these new materials provide 42 resistanceto dirt as well as water. As a result, they require much less cleaning than traditional materials.The creati on of self-clea ning clothes provides an example of how n ature helps scie ntists develop better products. This self-cleaning nature is known as the "lotus effect ” . The name comes, of course, from the lotus leaves, which are f growing in muddy lakes and rivers while remaining almost 43 clean. By observing nature, scientists are 44 the qualities of the lotus leaves to the materials they have engineered. Because of this, some remarkable new products have bee n 45 . Among them are special wi ndows that are resista nt to dirt and water. A special 46 on these wi ndows not only preve nts dirt from stick ing to their surfaces, but also allows dust to be easily washed off by the rain.

Un doubtedly, tech no logy is an importa nt developme nt, and it will have an even bigger 49 on our lives.川.Reading Comprehension Section ADirections: For each bla nk in the followi ng passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each bla nk w ith the word or phrase that best fits the con text.Everyone in bus in ess has bee n told that success is all about attract ing and retaining 留住）customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But, 50 , words of wisdom are soon forgotte n. Once compa nies have attracted customers they often _51 the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of bus in ess— 52 that the customer remains a customer.53 to concen trate on reta ining as well as attract ing customers costs bus in ess huge amounts of money annu ally. It has bee n estimated that the average compa ny loses betwee n 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every years .In con sta ntly changing 54 , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.Only now are orga ni zati ons beg inning to wake up to those lost opport un ities and calculate the 55 implicati ons. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big 56 in its performanee. Researchin the US found that a five per cent decrease in the nu mber of defect ing 流失的）customers led to 57 in creases of betwee n 25 and 85 per cent.In the US, Domino ' s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and 58 n ever retur ns, is los ing the compa ny thousa nds of dollars in 59 profits （more if you con sider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experie nee）.The logic behind cultivating customer 60 is impossible to deny. "Inpractice most companies marketing effort is focused on gett ing customers, with little atte nti on paid to 61 them ” , says Adria n Payne of Corn field Un iversity of Man ageme nt. “ Research suggests that there is a close relati on ship betwee n retaining customers and making. 62customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service tha n new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price 63 , and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it 64 for competitors to en ter a market or in crease their share of a market.50. A. i n particular B. i n reality C. at least D. first of all51. A. emphasize B. doubt C. overlook D. believe52. A. denying B. en suri ng C. arguing D. provi ng53. A. Movi ng B. Hopi ng C. Starti ng D. Faili ng54. A. markets B. tastes C. prices D. expenses55.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AThe teacher who did the most to en courage me was, as it happe ned, my aunt. She was Myrtle C. Mani gault, the wife of my mother ' s brother Bill. She taught in second grade abl a lck Summer School in Camden, New Jersey.During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle en couraged me to develop every aspect of my pote ntial, without regard for what was con sidered practical or possible for black females. I liked to sing; she liste ned to my voice and pronounced it good. I could n ' t dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps. She took me to the theatre not just childre n ' s theatrebut adult comedies and drama—and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappo in ted.My aunt also took dow n books from her exte nsive library and shared them with me. I had books at home, but they were all serious classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor, and I ' n ever forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis ' s Archy & Mehitabel through her.Most importa nt, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opport unity to write for publicati on. A writer herself for one of the black newspapes, she suggested my name to the editor as a “ youth columnist ” . My column, begun when was supposed to cover teenage social activities—and it did—but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her “ favourite niece ” . Like a diamond, she has reflected a b multifaceted （多面的）image of possibilities to every pupil w ho has crossed her path.65. Which of the follow ing did Aunt Myrtle do to the author duri ng her childhood and youth?A. She lent her some serious classics.B. She cultivated her taste for music.C.

Aunt Myrtle recomme nded the author to a n ewspaper editor main ly to ____ .A. develop her capabilities for writ ingB. give her a cha nee to collect materialC. in volve her in tee nage social activitiesD. offer her a series of writi ng jobs68. We can con clude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who ____ .A. trained pupils to be dilige nt and well-discipli nedB. gave pupils con fide nce in exploit ing their pote ntialC. emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils.D. helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning BHumpback whalesHumpback whales are sometimes called performers of the ocea n. This is because they can make impressive movements when they dive The n ame “ humpbackwhich is the com mon n ame for this whale, refers to the typical curve shape the whale as it'divesack fo Sometimes the humpback will dive with a fantastic movement, known as a breach . During breach ing the whale uses its powerful tail flukes to lift n early two-thirds of its body out of the water in a gia nt leap. A breach might also in clude a sideways twist with fins stretched out like win gs, as the whale reaches the height of the breach. A humpback whale breathes air at the surface of the water through two blowholes which are located n ear the top of the head. It blows a double stream of water that can rise up to 4 meters above the water. The humpback has a small dorsal fin located towards the tail flukes about two-thirds of the way down its back. Other distinguishing features in clude large pectoral fins, which may be up to a third of the body len gth, and unique black and white spots on the un derside of the tail flukes. These markings are like fingerprints: no two are thesame.Humpback whales live in large groups. They communicate witheach other through complex “ songs69. Accord ing to Quick Facts, a humpback whale ____ .A. cannot survive in waters near the shoreB. doesn ' t live in the same waters all the timeC. lives mainly on un derwater pla ntsD. prefers to work alone whe n hun ti ng food70. To make a breach , a humpback whale must ____ .A. use its tail flukes to leap out of the waterB. twist its body sideways to jump high.C. blow two streams of waterD. com muni cate with a group of humpbacks.71. From the passage we can lear n that a humpback whale ____ .A. has its unique markings on it tail flukesB. has black and white fingerprintsC. gets its n ame from the way it huntsD. is a great performer due to its songsCHuman remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens research into the history of humans in Britain, a group of leading archeologists （考古学家）says. In a letter addressed to the justice secretary, Ken Clarke, 40 archaeologists write of their “ deep and widespread concern ” about the issue. It cen ters or by the Mini stry of Justice in 2008 which requires all huma n rema ins un earthed in En gla nd and Wales to be reburied with in two years, regardless of their age. The decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance.“ Yourcurre nt requireme nt that all archaeologically un earthed huma n rema ins should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years or a further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice, ” they write.The law applies to any pieces of bone un covered at around 400 dig sites, in cludi ng the rema ins of 60 or so bodies found at Ston ehe nge in 2008 that date back to 3,000 BC. Archaeologists have bee n gran ted a temporary exte nsion to give them more time, but eventuallly the bones will have to be returned to the ground.The arran geme nts may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh in Norfolk, where digg ing iscontinuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early huma ns 950,000 years ago. If huma n rema ins were found atHappisburgh, they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was. Under the curre nt practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed.Before 2008, guideli nes allowed for the proper preservati on and study of bones of sufficie nt age and historical in terest, while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains. The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two ye ars ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it.Mike Parker Pears on, an archaeologist at Sheffield Uni versity, said: “ Archaeologistsiave bee n extremely patie nt because we were led to beeve the mi nistry was sorting out this problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any Ion ger.The mini stry has no guideli nes on where or how rema ins should be reburied, or on what records should be kept.Living: Open ocea n and shallow coastl inerms watersEnvironment: From warm tropical （热带的）waters, where theybreed, to cold polar waters,where they eat. Diet: Shellfish, plants and fish of small size Hunting: Sometimes in groups, in which several whales form a circle un der the water, blowing bubbles that form a “ neta'round a school of fish. The fish are then forced up to the surface in a concen trated mass Current state:endangered; it is estimated that there are about 5000 ~ 7000 humpback whales worldwide. Blowhole dorsalfi nSize: 14m~18m in len gth30~50 tons in weight72. Accord ing to the passage, scie ntists are un happy with the law mainly because ____ .A. it is only a temporary measure on the human remainsB. it is un reas on able and thus destructive to scie ntific researchC. it was in troduced by the gover nment without their kno wledgeD. it is vague about where and how to rebury huma n rema ins73. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Temporary exte nsion of two years will guara ntee scie ntists eno ugh time.B. Huma n rema ins of the oldest species were dug out at Happisburgh.C. Huma n rema ins will have to be reburied despite the exte nsion of time.D. Scien tists have bee n warned that the law can hardly be cha nged.74. What can be in ferred about the British law gover ning huma n rema ins?A. The Mini stry of Justice did not intend it to protect huma n rema ins.B. The Burial Act 1857 only applied to rema ins un covered before 1857.C. The law on human remains hasn ' t changed in recent decades.D. The Mini stry of Justice has not done eno ugh about the law.75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. New discoveries should be reburied, the gover nment dema nds.B. Research time should be exte nded, scie ntists require.C. Law on huma n rema ins n eeds thorough discussi on, authorities say.D. Law could bury ancient secrets for ever, archeologists warn.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra headi ngI IWith the arrival of the age of "information economy ” ，intellectual work is becoming a more important source than manufacturing. Organizations in all walks of life are doing more to spread their inf ormation. So people of the Public Relations are hired to speak for them. A lot of our news is actually collected from press releases andreports of events inten tio nally staged for journ alists. In the in formati on age, jo urn alists spe nd their time, not in vestigati ng, but pass ing on the words of a spokespers on.77. |There is a joke in the novel Scoop about the newspaper ' s owner, Lord Copper. The editors can never disagree with hi When he ' s right about something they answer “ definitely ” , and when he ' s wrong they say “ to son seems reas on able to suppose that, in the real world, the opinions of such powerful people still in flue nee the journ alists and editors who work for them.78. |In coun tries where the n ews is not officially con trolled, it may be provided by commercial orga ni zati ons who depe nd on advertis ing. The n ews has to attract viewers and maintain its audie nce rat in gs. I suspect that some stories get air-time just because there happe n to be excit ing pictures to show. In Brita in, we have the tabloid n ewspapers which milli ons of people read simply for entertainment. There is progressively less room for historical background, or statistics, which are harder to prese nt as a sen sati onal story.79. |There is an argume nt that with spreadi ng access to the internet and cheap tech no logy for record ing sound and images we will all be able to find exactly the information we want. People around the world will be able to publish their own eye-wit ness acco unts and compete with the widely-accepted n ews-gatherers on equal terms. But what it will mea n also is that we ' lsubjected to a still greater amount of nonsense and lies. Any web log may contain the latest information of the year, or equally, a made-up story that you will n ever be able to check.80. | |Maybe the time has come to do something about it, and I don ' just mean changing your choice of TV channel or n ewspaper. I n a world where every one wants you to liste n to their version, you only have two choices: switch off altogether or start look ing for sources you can trust. The in vestigative journ alist of the future is every one who wants to know the truth. Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. The n an swer the questi ons or complete the stateme nts in the fewest possible words.Sociologists have long recognised that organisations of less than 200 individuals can operate through the free flow of information among the members. Once their size goes beyond this figure, the organizations are getting less flexible. So it seems n ecessary to preve nt total disorder result ing from failures of com mun icati on.One soluti on to this problem would, of course, be to structure large orga ni sati ons into smaller un its of a size that can act as a group. By allowing these groups to build reliance on each other, larger organizations can be built up. However, merely hav ing groups of, say, 150 will n ever of itself be a complete soluti on to the problems of the orga ni zati on. Someth ing else isn eeded: the people in volved must be able to build direct pers onal relati on ships. To allow free flow of in formati on, they have to be able to com muni cate with each other in a casual way. Maintaining too formal a structure of relati on ships in evitably preve nts the way a system works.The importa nee of this was drawn to my atte nti on two years ago by the case of a TV stati on. Whether by cha nee or by desig n, it so happe ned that there were almost exactly 150 people in the stati on. The whole process worked very smoothly as an orga ni zati on for many years un til they were moved into purpose-built accommodati on. Then, for no appare nt reas on, the work seemed to be more difficult to do, not to say less satisfy ing.It was some time before they work out what the problem was. It turn out that, when the architects were designing the new buildi ng, they decided that the coffee room where every one ate their san dwiches at lunch times was an unn ecessary luxury and so did away with it. And with that, they accidentally destroyed the close social networks that strengthened the whole orga ni zati on. What had appare ntly bee n happe ning was that, as people gathered in formally over their san dwiches in the coffee room, useful in formatio n was casually being excha nged.(Note: An swer the questio ns or complete the stateme nts in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)81. What size of an orga ni zati on may lead to com muni cati on failures?82. What are the two soluti ons to the com mun icati on problem with in a large orga ni zati on?83. After the TV statio n moved into new accommodati on, its operati on ________________________ .84. From the case of the TV statio n, we can con clude it is ________________________ that make(s) an orga ni zati onmore successful.第n卷(共45分)I .

AAttending college can be expensive, and applying to college can be costly as well. With today’s college application fees averaging around $ 80, you can expect to spend hundreds of dollars on college before you are even accepted into a school.One of the easiest ways to save money on college application fees before you begin applying is to narrow down your list of schools. To save money, try to limit the schools to which you apply to about 2-3 reach schools and 2-3 safety schools.At some schools, being a relative of a graduate can secure you a free application. If you are applying to a school where one of your parents or grandparents is a former graduate, check to see if you’re qualified for it. Research the preferred method of applying for each school on your list. Some schools offer free online applications, yet charge a fee for paper submissions. This is because online applications save schools the cost of employing a staff member to physically enter the application information.Several states, such as Michigan and North Carolina, take part in College Application Week, where many schools in the participating states cancel their application fee for the week. Be sure to contact the schools to I j which you are applying to see if they participate in College Application Week and when the program takes place in that state.Apply for early admission. If you have already decided on which college is your top choice, consider applying under an Early Action or Early Decision admission program. If you are accepted, you won’t have to submit application fees to other schools.For more information regarding college applications and the fees associated with them, contact your high I school advisor or the admissions department at your school(s) of interest.21. The passage is mainly written to______.A. introduce famous universities in the United StalesB. show some practical ways to apply an ideal collegeC. advertise for successful applications and advisorsD. offer tips to save money on college application fees22. What does the author advise to do in the second paragraph?A. Write down your favorite universities.B. Reduce the number of your university choices.C. Apply to two universities each time.D. Mind your safety when applying to college.23. Some schools offer free online application to______,A. receive fees faster than beforeB. employ someone else to workC. cut down the cost of employmentD. enter the application information24. It can be known from the passage that______,A. application fee might be canceled conditionallyB. many countries attend College Application WeekC. applying for early admission is the best policyD. admission departments determine your futureBEvery year, some 6.9 million children under the age of five die from diseases like malaria, pneumonia and HIV. The untold story of child survival is that the global community now has the combined knowledge, technical know-how and affordable tools to end such child deaths. Evidence shows that it is possible to decrease under-five death rates in developing countries to levels approaching those in wealthier countries.That is why 4 years ago —June, 2012 —the US, Ethiopia and India joined the United Nations Children’s Fund (or UNICEF) to launch Child Survival Call to Action, a global effort to save children’s lives. The goal was to lower child death rates in the hardest-hit countries to 20 deaths per 1,000 live birthsby the year 2035.Zambia started a plan focused on nutrition and immunization (免疫) that will save more than 26,000 children each year. Congo is distributing pre-packaged supplies to prevent and treat the most common killers. They hope to save the lives of half a million children by 2017. Similar efforts are taking place in Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Yemen, and elsewhere.Child Survival partner companies are also developing life-saving vaccines (疫苗) and treatment for diarrhea. Private enterprisers and medical professionals are training and equipping health workers in 54 countries with life-saving tools. Still others are developing and delivering safe water treatment and storage products.“This high-level forum inspired a global movement —Committing to Child Survival: A Promise Renewed,”wrote UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake. “Four years passing, it continues to build and, today, 174 countries and over 400 civil society and faith-based organizations have taken up the charge in their own commitments. While we still have a long way to go, the first 4 years have seen impressive gains.”25. The underlined word “those”in Paragraph 1 refers to______.A. 6. 9 million under-five childrenB. affordable tools to end child deathC. deaths in the developing countriesD. death rates of children under five26. Child Survival Call To Action was founded to______.A. improve the living conditions for poor childrenB. decrease under-five death rates in some countriesC. raise some money to save children’s livesD. save children in the poorest countries27. What can be inferred from the passage?A. All diseases can be prevented or treated.B. Governments and partners joined the initial effort.C. Nutrition holds the key to lower the death rates.D. Only governments made their best to reduce the deaths.28. How does Anthony Lake feel towards Child Survival Call to Action?A. Time-consuming.B. Wasteful.C. Positive.D. Cold.CHow you feel and react to your environment on a day-to-day basis can be measured by your behavior, thoughts, and emotions. Your personality gives you away!There are four fundamental characteristics of personality. First, it is constant and people tend to behave in the same way when they meet similar situations. Second, personality not only influences actions, but it also actually causes people to behave in specific ways. Third, personality is influenced by both psychological and biological factors. Finally, personality is expressed not only in behaviors, but through emotions, thoughts, social behavior, and close relationships.How the world distinguishes you is a direct reflection of and reaction to how you present yourself to them. Race, age, and sex are qualities you have no control over, but certainly contribute to your personality because of how the world senses you based on them. A person who continuously experiences racial discrimination may guard himself against it by at first seeming cold and unfriendly. But once he opens up, you may discover someone completely different inside.Physical ones, which you develop over time, also contribute to your personality, and include walking pace, eye contact, and facial expressions. How you want the world to see you influences how you present yourself to others. Characteristics such as altitude, response and general mindset create the surface of your one-of-a-kind personality.If you’re like many people, the aspects of your personality you choose to show might depend on the people you meet. For instance, the personality you exhibit around your boss is probably a lot different from the personality you show to your closest friends. All of these elements make up the “you”that only you truly know. And only you can decide when to share these parts of your personality with other colleagues.29. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Some aspects of personality.B. Ways to develop personality.C. What contributes to personality.D. Why personality is important.30. It can be known from Paragraph 2 that______.A. one’s personality is merely determined by birthB. personality consists of behavior, thoughts and relationshipsC. personality has nothing to do with one’s career lifeD. the environment and the situation influence one’s personality31. The intended readers for the passage are probably______.A. receptionistsB. studentsC. office clerksD. police officersDFor many. Daylight Saving Time (DST: 夏令时) simply means remembering to change the clocks and twisting your sleep schedule. “Even though the time change is only an hour, it is something that causes much more destruction than people believe,”said Dr. John Sharp, a psychologist and psychiatrist at Beth-Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. “It’s not just an extra hour of sleep; it’s more of a fast-forward into winter.”With days getting darker earlier, Sharp suggests making a to-do list for activities after work ahead of time. “Any plans you have, say, going to the gym after work, require much more effort and determination. It’s much better to plan more carefully and not just rely on how you feel, especially when it is dark out,”he said. “Figure it out in advance and stick with the plan.”In addition. Sharp says in the weeks after Daylight Saving, some may feel like they have a bigger appetite. “Eating more during this time is not the answer. People need to stay on an eating schedule and keep up healthy habits. ”However, Sharp said there are ways to better acclimate yourself to the time change. If you are having trouble sleeping, he suggests taking some melatonin (退黑激素) in the evening. In contrast, if you find yourself feeling sleepy. Sharp said there is nothing wrong with adding an extra caffeinated drink during your day.A word to the wise? One sure way to better adjust to the time change is to start going to bed 15 minutes earlier starting four days before Daylight Saving, adding an additional 15 minutes each night.32. Which is probably the best title for the passage?A. Are you prepared for DST?B. Why DST was introduced?C. What DST has brought to life?D. How DST has been popular?33. What does John Sharp suggest in Paragraph 2?A. Getting up earlier than before.B. Sticking to the daily routine.C. Being aware of quality sleep.D. Getting well-prepared for DST.34. The underlined word “acclimate”in Paragraph 4 can be replacedby______.A. adoptB. accelerateC. adaptD. acknowledge35. The passage is probably taken from______.A. a scientific reportB. an interviewC. a speechD. a statement第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

So I decided to leave home for New York, (25) ______ I might have a better chance to find a good job. (26) ______ (earn) some money to pay the daily expenses, I started work in a local café as a waiter. I believed that (27) ______ I was offered a good position, I would resign at once.Over time, the high cost of living became a little burden on my already (28) ______ (exhaust) shoulders. On the other hand, my search for a respectable job had not met with much success. As I had studied literature at university, I found it quite difficult to secure a suitable job in big companies. Mother had said that (29) ______ ______ ______ I wanted to have a better career advancement, I had to find work in the city. Perhaps, (30) ______ my mother had told me was deeply rooted in my mind. I just did as she had expected.Soon I had lived in the city for over six months but I still did not like it. Apparently, I had difficulty (31) ______ (adapt) myself to life in the city, let alone finding a job to my delight. After nine months of frustration. I eventually decided to go back to my small town. Not until I returned (32) ______ I realise that a quiet town life was the best for me.(B)The giant vending machine（自动售货机）is a new village shop Villagers have long been used to facing a drive when they run out of basic supplies. However, help is now nearer at hand in the form of the country's first automatic push-button shop.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.menus for meals or read food _41_ at the supermarket. Since you really _42_ yourself to a healthier lifestyle, a little help would come in handy, wouldn't it? This is where a "choice architect" can help _43_ some of the burden of doing it all yourself. Choice architects are people who organize the contexts in which customers make decisions. For example, the person who decides the layout of your local supermarket-including which shelf the peanut butter goes on, and how the oranges are piled up—is a choice architect.Governments don't have to _44_ healthier lifestyles through laws for example, smoking bans. Rather, if given an environment created by a choice architect-one that encourages us to choose what is best-we will do the right things. In other words, there will be designs that gently push customers toward making healthier choices, without removing freedom of choice. This idea combines freedom to choose with _45_ hints from choice architects, who aim to help people live longer, healthier, and happier lives.The British and Swedish governments have introduced a so-called "traffic light system" to _46_ foods as healthy or unhealthy. This means that customers can see at a glance how much fat, sugar, and salt each product contains _47_ by looking at the lights on the package. A green light _48_ that the amounts of the three nutrients are healthy; yellow indicates that the customer should be _49_; and red means that the food is high in at least one of the three nutrients and should be eaten in _50_. The customer is given important health information, but is still free to decide what to choose.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Research has shown that two-thirds of human conversation is taken up not with discussion of the cultural or political problems of the day, not heated debates about films we've just watched or books we've just finished reading, but plain and simple _51_.Language is our greatest treasure as a species, and what do we _52_ do with it? We gossip. About others' behaviour and private lives, such as who's doing what with whom, who's in and who's out-and why; how to deal with difficult _53_ situations involving children, lovers, and colleagues.So why are we keen on gossiping? Are we just natural _54_，of both time and words? Or do we talk a lot about nothing in particular simply to avoid facing up to the really important issues of life? It's not the case according to Professor Robin Dunbar. In fact, in his latest book, Grooming, Gossip and the Evolution of Language, the psychologist says gossip is one of these really _55_ issues.Dunbar _56_ the traditional view that language was developed by the men at the early stage of social development in order to organize their manly hunting activities more effectively, or even to promote the exchange of poetic stories about their origins and the supernatural. Instead he suggests that language evolved among women. We don't spend two-thirds of our time gossiping just because we can talk, argues Dunbar— _57_, he goes on to say, language evolved specifically to allow us to gossip.Dunbar arrived at his cheery theory by studying the _58_ of the higher primates（灵长类动物）like monkeys. By means of grooming--cleaning the fur by brushing it, monkeys form groups with other individuals on whom they can rely for support in the event of some kind of conflict within the group or _59_ from outside it.As we human beings evolve from a particular branch of the primate family, Dunbar _60_ that at one time in our history we did much the same. Grouping together made sense because the bigger the group, the greater the _61_ it provided; on the other hand, the bigger the group, the greater the stresses of living close to others. Grooming helped to _62_ the pressure and calm everybody down.But as the groups got bigger and bigger, the amount of time spent in grooming activities also had to be _63_ to maintain its effectiveness. Clearly, a more _64_ kind of grooming was needed, and thus language evolved as a kind of vocal（有声的）grooming which allowed humans to develop relationship with ever-larger groups by exchanging information over a wider network of individuals than would be possible by one-to-one _65_ contact.51. A. claim B. description C. gossip D. language52. A. occasionally B. habitually C. independently D. originally53. A. social B. political C. historical D. cultural54. A. admirers B. masters C. users D. wasters55. A. vital B. sensitive C. ideal D. difficult56. A. confirms B. rejects C. outlines D. broadens57. A. for instance B. in addition C. on the contrary D. as a result58. A. motivation B. appearance C. emotion D. behaviour59. A. attack B. contact C. inspection D. assistance60. A. recalls B. denies C. concludes D. confesses61. A. prospect B. responsibility C. leadership D. protection62. A. measure B. show C. maintain D. ease63. A. saved B. extended C. consumed D. gained64. A. common B. efficient C. scientific D. thoughtful65. A. indirect B. daily C. physical D. secretSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A).Most people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural forthem to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.As children, many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature." But maybe you can't trust her, either.66. A plover protects its young from a predator by___________.A. getting closer to its youngB. driving away the adult predatorC. leaving its young in another nestD. pretending to be injured67. By "Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky" (paragraph 5), the author means_______.A. chimps are ready to attack othersB. chimps are sometimes dishonestC. chimps are jealous of the winnersD. chimps can be selfish too68. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.B. The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner's hand.C. Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests.D. Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back.69. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Do animals lie?B. Does Mother Nature fool animals?C. How do animals learn to lie?D. How does honesty help animals survive?（B）Let's say you want to hit the gym more regularly this year. How do you make that happen? Consider putting the habit loop to use.Here's how it works:A habit is a 3-step process. First, there's a cue, something that tells your brain to operate automatically. Then there's a routine. And finally, a reward, which helps your brain learn to desire the behavior. It's what you can use to create-or break-habits of your own.Here's how to apply it:Choose a cue, like leaving your running shoes by the door, then pick. areward-say, a piece of chocolate when you get home from the gym. That way, the cue and the reward becomeinterconnected. Finally, when you see the shoes, your brain will start longing for the reward, which will make it easier to work out day after day.

The Harry Potter poster.B. Reading 30 pages of an English novel.C. An English newspaper.D. Watching TV for half an hour.(C)If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality（虚拟现实）device. Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. "As I looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partner's pants," she said. "That's the picture I remember best."The set-up is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it.To get used to seeing another person's body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of slow synchronised（同步的）movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person's body.Using such technology promises to alter people's behaviour afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism-the bias（偏见）that humans have against those who don't look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of people's associations between, for instance, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants' bias scores were lower. The idea is that once you've "put yourself in another's shoes" you're less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has internalised the feeling of being that person.The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. "At the end of body swapping,people feel like holding each other in their arms," says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project. "It's a really nice way to have this kind of experience. I would really, really recommend it to everyone."74. The word "swapping" (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to_________.A. buildingB. exchangingC. controllingD. transplanting75. We can infer from the experiment at the Be Another lab that____________.A. our feelings are related to our bodily experienceB. we can learn to take control of other people's bodiesC. participants will live more passionately after the experimentD. The Machine to Be Another can help people change their sexes76. In the Implicit Association Test, before the participants used virtual reality glasses to control a dark skinneddigital character, __________.A. they fought strongly against racismB. they scored lower on the test for racismC. they changed their behaviour dramaticallyD. they were more biased against those unlike them77. It can be concluded from the passage that_________.A. technology helps people realize their dreamsB. our biases could be eliminated through experimentsC. virtual reality helps promote understanding among peopleD. our points of view about others need changing constantlySection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.More and more corporations are taking an interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR). CSR is made up of three broad layers. The most basic is traditional corporate charity work. Companies typically spend about 1% of pre-tax profits on worthy projects. But many feel that simply writing cheques to charities is no longer enough. In some companies, shareholders want to know that their money is being put to good use, and employees want to be actively involved in good works.Money alone is not the answer when companies come under attack for their behavior. Hence the second layer of CSR, which is a branch of risk management. Starting in the 1980s, with environmental disasters such as the explosion at Bhopal and the Exxon Valdez oil spill, industry after industry has suffered blows to its reputation.So, companies often responded by trying to manage the risks. They talk to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and to governments, create codes of conduct（行为准则) and devote themselves to more transparency（透明）in their operations. Increasingly, too. they, along with their competitors, set common rules to spread risks.All this is largely defensive, but there are also opportunities for those that get ahead of the game. The emphasis on opportunity is the third layer of CSR: the idea that it can help to create value. If approached in a strategic way, CSR could become part of a company's competitive advantage. That is just the sort of thing chief executives like to hear. The idea of "doing well by doing good" has become popular.Nevertheless, the business of trying to be good is bringing difficult questions to executives. Can you measure CSR performance? Should you be cooperating with NGOs and you’re your competitors? Is there any really competitive advantage to be had from a green strategy?Corporate social responsibility is now seen as a mainstream. Big companies want to tell the world about their good citizenship with their devotion to social responsibilities. Done badly, CSR is often just window-dressing andcan be positively harmful. Done well, though, it is not some separate activity that companies do on the side, a corner of corporate life reserved for virtue（美德）：it is just good business.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78. Both _________ in some companies find it no longer enough to simply donate money to charities.79. Give one example of the defensive measures of risk management according to the passage.80. With the emphasis on opportunity, the third layer of CSR is meant to_________.81. According to the passage, "good business" (paragraph 6) means that corporations ________ while making profits.第II卷（共47分）I.

Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to 41 the essentials of good design. They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design. There are four as follows.Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-born architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means. Design should avoid unnecessary 42More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly,the result is 43 design. Post-Modernist designers began to 44 with decoration and color again. Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen 45 such as ovens and kettles.Fitness for purpose. Successful product design takes into consideration a product’s function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. The most important result for the user is that the product does what is 46 . For example, think of a(n) 47 desk lamp. It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also needs to be stable. Most importantly, it needs to48 light where it is needed.From follows emotion. This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger. He believes design must take into 49 the sensory side of our nature—sight, smell, touch and taste. These are as important as rational(理性的) thinking. When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciate a cool-looking device that allows us to easily 50 the toothpaste onto our brush.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 51 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.In any case, despite so much evidence to the 52 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 54 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.Different cultures have different ways of 55 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to 56 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general57 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 58 managers cannot.A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on theirown without 59 managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 60 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 61 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 62 been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 63 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.Another trend is off-site or 64 management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 65 of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.51. A. desire B. seek C. lose D. dislike52. A. contrary B. expectation C. degree D. extreme53. A. vice versa B. for example C. however D. otherwise54. A. outside B. inside C. below D. above55. A. replacing B. assessing C. managing D. encouraging56. A. refer B. contribute C. object D. apply57. A. agreement B. practice C. election D. impression58. A. bossy B. experienced C. western D. male59. A. asking B. training C. warning D. firing60. A. doubling B. maintaining C. reducing D. estimating61. A. honoured B. left C. crowded D. compared62. A. economically B. traditionally C. inadequately D. occasionally63. A. deny B. admit C. assume D. ensure64. A. virtual B. ineffective C. day-to-day D. on-the-scene65. A. opinion B. risk C. performance D. attractivenessSection BDirection：Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished sattments. For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.“Is it good?” I asked her.“Yeah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.“‘Patty Poem,’” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:She never puts her toys away,Just leaves them scattered①where they lay,…①散乱的The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:When she grows and gathers poise②, ②稳重I’ll miss her harum-scarum③noise, ③莽撞的And look in vain④for scattered toys. ④徒劳地And I’ll be sad.A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.“It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she”in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying.“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.“Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you,okay?”“Okay,” I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. Afterwhat seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together,like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was stillbeautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’sworld.I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem”gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one thathurt me the most.66. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?A. It was a thick enough book.B. Something on its cover caught her eye.C. Her mother was reading it with interest.D. It has a meaningful title.67. After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ______ at first.A. sadB. excitedC. horrifiedD. confused68. The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because______.A. it reflected her own childhoodB. it was written in simple languageC. it was composed by a famous poetD. it gave her a hint of what would happen69. It can be concluded from the passage that“Patty Poem”leads the writer to _______.A. discover the power of poetryB. recognize her love for puzzlesC. find her eagerness to grow upD. experience great homesickness（B）Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was firststudied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions domake a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s chaatmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008 to 2012. Somecountries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the ParisAgreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just nowhow much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.3.5℃This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initialParis promises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put coastal cities underwater and drive over half of all species to extinction.2℃To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissions targets every five years.Even this increase could sink some islands, worse drought(干旱) and drive a decline of up to a third in the number of species.1.5℃This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement, after a push by low-lying island nations like Kiribati, which say limiting temperature rise to 1.5℃could save them from sinking.0.8℃This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began, putting us 40% of the way to the 2℃point.0℃The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrial age.70. It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that _______.A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countriesC. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto ProtocolD. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming71. If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what would happen by the year 2100?A. The human population would increase by one third.B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist.C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached.72. If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive, the maximum temperature rise, since the startof the industrial age, should be_______.A. 0.8℃B. 1.5℃C. 2℃D. 3.5℃(C)Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’sreport, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.“The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version oftheir terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it ona voluntary basis. “we need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller.Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would liketo think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data.But what would happen indo know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.” practice is another matter, he says.Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, butMiller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know howsignificant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come backand bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.know how companies wil Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’ｔl use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently, he says.The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, eveworking. If properly administered, ausers have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’tkitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although theywould still have to actually read them.73. What does the phrase “ meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.B.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements inthe fewest possible words.Walking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed to reduce congestion(拥堵) at some of thecountry’s busiest stations.In the first move of its kind, all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量) at the height of the rush hour.A six-month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid-April, eliminating the rule of standingon the right and walking on the left. The move, imitating a similar structure in Far Eastern cities such as HongKong, is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times . it could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years.According to London Underground, only 40 percent of travelers walk the full length of long escalators,leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the “standing “side.A three-week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators atany one time of could be raised by almost a third. Peter McNaught, operations director at London Underground, said: “It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standing still, but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true. This new six-month trial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term.”Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4 high.—meaning Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk uponly one side was used at all times. Research has shown that it is more effective use of escalators over 18.5 to ban walking.The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2,500 people between 8:30am and 9:30am on a typical day, rising to 3,250 during the researching period.In the new trial, which will be launched from April 18, one of three “up” escalators will be standing only, with a second banning walking at peak times. A third will remain a mix of walking and standing.(Note: Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left?79. What did last year’s three-week trial at Holborn station prove?80.The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least_________ in height.81. In the new trail, in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours, the other “up”escalators will be used for_________________.第II卷(共47分)I.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.我真希望自己的文章有朝一日能见报。

ClozeDirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.(A)Being alone in outer space can be frightening. That is one reason why astronauts on solo (单独的) space flights were given plenty of work to keep them 45 . They were also constant communication with people on the earth. 46 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine (潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on 47 space flights in the future. Will there be special problem of adjustment under such conditions?Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of 48 is. When men are 49 together for a long period, they begin to feel uneasy. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very 50 .Apparently, although no one wants to be 51 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called a stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of 52 or stress.People who are well-adjusted are able to 53 stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in 54 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behavior under stress.45. A. tired B. asleep C. conscious D. busy46. A. So far B. After all C. However D. Therefore47. A. long B. fast C. dangerous D. direct48. A. fuel B. entertainment C. adjustment D. health49.

A. handle B. create C. affect D. investigate54. A. becoming B. choosing C. ordering D. promoting(B)One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our schools: the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching. As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total. 55 the faults already found out in the education system as a whole —such as child-centred learning, the “discovery”method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils —there have been several serious 56 which have a direct effect on language teaching.The first is the removal from the curriculum (课程) of the thorough teaching of English 57 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so 58 that the most able groups are 59 and are bored while the least able are lost and 60 bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-ability school football teams.Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having 61 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have forgotten it a few years later. 62 they never need it, they do not practice it.Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 63 modern languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britain to do the same, and stop64 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.55. A. Due to B. In addition to C. Instead of D. In spite of56. A. errors B. situations C. systems D. methods57. A. vocabulary B. culture C. grammar D. literature58. A. wide B. similar C. separate D. unique59. A. kept out B. turned down C. held back D. left behind60. A. surprisingly B. individually C. equally D. hardly61. A. extra B. traditional C. basic D. regular62. A. Although B. Because C. Until D. Unless63. A. restored B. absorbed C. prohibited D. withdrawn64. A. wasting B. focusing C. exploiting D. sharingIV. Reading ComprehensionDirections：Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them mere are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one mat fits best according to me information given in me passage you have just read.(A)What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice-cream. Just ask John Harrion, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream —as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道).Some people think that it would be easy to do this job, after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No —there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree inchemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?”Next it’s time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy —working at one cool job.65. What is John Harrison’s job?A. An official.B. An ice-cream taster.C. A chemist.D. An ice-cream manufacturer.66. According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to ______.A. keep a diary of workB. have a degree in related subjectsC. have new ideas every dayD. find out new flavors each day67. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?A. He stirs the ice cream.B. He examines the color of the ice cream.C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.D. He lets the ice cream warm up.68. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A. Tasting with EyesB. Flavors of Ice CreamC. John Harrison’s LifeD. One Cool Job(B)69. The Fresh Water series at 9 PM ________.A. explores the lakes, rivers and the creatures in themB. is devoted to the freshwater creatures in the worldC. explains the relationship among inhabitants on the earthD. focuses on the deepest river on the planet70. The phrase “stow away” most probably means “_________”.A. hide secretlyB. talk excitedlyC. operate easilyD. guide successfully71. A mystery story adapted from Agatha Christie’s novel will be shown on ______.A. BBC1B. BBC2C. ITV1D. Channel 4(C)Mail carriers will be delivering some good news and some bad news this week.The bad news: Stamp prices are expected to rise 2 cents in May to 41 cents, the Postal Regulatory Commission announced yesterday. The good news: With the introduction of a “forever stamp,” it may be the last time Americans have to use annoying 2-or-3-cent stamps to make up postage differences.Beginning in May, people would be able to purchase the stamps in booklets of 20 at the regular rate of a first-class stamp. As the name implies, “forever stamps”will keep their first-class mailing value forever, even when the postage rate goes up.The new “forever stamp”is the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) answer to the complaints about frequent rate increases. The May increase will be the fifth in a decade. Postal rates have risen because of inflation (通货膨胀), competition from online bill paying, and the rising costs of employee benefits, including healthcare, says Mark Saunders, a spokesman for USPS.The USPS expects some financial gain from sales of the “forever stamp”and the savings from not printing as many 2-or-3-cent stamps. “It’s not your grandfather’s stamp,”says Mr. Saunders. “It could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp.”Other countries, including Canada, England, and Finland use similar stamps.Don Schilling, who has collected stamps for 50 years, says he’s interested in the public’s reaction. “This is an entirely new class of stamps.” Mr. Schilling says. He adds that he’ll buy the stamps because he will be able to use them for a long period of time, not because they could make him rich —the volume printed will be too large for collectors. “We won’t be able to send our kids to college on these,” he says, laughing.The USPS board of governors has yet to accept the Postal Regulatory Commission’s decision, but tends to follow its recommendations. No plans have been announced yet for the design of the stamps.72. The main purpose of introducing a “forever stamp” is ______.A. to reduce the cost of printing 2-or-3-cent stampsB. to help save the consumers’ cost on first-class mailingC. to respond to the complaints about rising postal ratesD. to compete with online bill paying73. By saying “It could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp”, Mr. Saunders means thatforever stamps ________.A. could be collected by one’s great-grandchildrenB. might be very precious in great-grandchildren’s handsC. might have been inherited from one’s great-grandfathersD. could be used by one’s great-grandchildren even decades later74. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The investment in forever stamps will bring adequate reward.B. America will be the first country to issue forever stamps.C. The design of the “forever stamp” remains to be revealed.D. 2-or-3-cent stamps will no longer be printed in the future.75. What can be concluded from the passage?A. With forever stamps, there will be no need to worry about rate changes.B. Postal workers will benefit most from the sales of forever stamps.C. The inflation has become a threat to the sales of first-class stamps.D. New interest will be aroused in collecting forever stamps.(D)The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr. Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr. Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.To raise money for the idea, he toured the City’s private companies which fund new business and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint’s directors and won their support. Mint has committed around ￡500,000 to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr. Dunlop’s business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.Mr. Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhab team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. They can be personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior (外部的) advertising space.The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonbury having some 150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.76. “Eco-friendly tents” in paragraph 1 refer to tents _______.A. economically desirableB. favorable to the environmentC. for holding music performancesD. designed for disaster relief77. Mr. Dunlop established his business ______.A. independently with an interest-free loan from MintB. with the approval of the City’s administrationC. in partnership with a finance groupD. with the help of a Japanese architect78. It is implied in the passage that _______.A. the weather in the UK is changeable in summerB. most performances at British festivals are given in the open airC. the cardboard tents produced by Mr. Dunlop can be user-tailoredD. cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users.79. The passage is mainly concerned with ______.A. an attempt at developing recyclable tentsB. some efforts at making full use of cardboardsC. an unusual success of a graduation projectD. the effects of using cardboard tents on music festivals(E)Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A—F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.An interview with Wynton Marsalis, a noted jazz musicianThere were the older jazz musicians who hung around our house when I was young. I saw how much they practiced, how serious they were about their art. I knew then I had to work just as hard if I wanted to succeed. Of course, my father inspired me a lot, and many teachers took the time to nurture my talent and the talents of other students in our school.Yes. We’ve done such a poor job with music education because, as a society, we haven’t maintained the kind of education that a true artist and musician needs. Young people haven’t been able to equate romance and talent with music. For instance, most of the people who make it in the music industry today have to look good. How they sound is secondary. Sarah Vaughan, Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald —those big, romantic queens of jazz music wouldn’t make it in today’s music industry, and that’s a shame. We need to teach young people about the alternatives.Around the world people make music that, if you listen carefully to it, sounds a little like the cadence of their language. I’d call it folk music. When I’m away from home, I make a point of listening to regional folk music, not what’s on the radio.83The same music is on the radio all over the world, and the American sound is overwhelming. Even the pop music that’s produced and created in foreign countries has that American beat, that underscore of funk. As a musician, I’m not interested in hearing recycled versions of the same genre over and over. Any music that doesn’t have a development sectionjust isn’t interesting to me.The music press has so much to introduce these days, and jazz is just a small fraction of it. Because some people are intimidated by jazz, they don’t cover it unless it’s a big name. new jazz musicians don’t get much of break. A lot of editors don’t say anything about jazz these days unless it’s Marsalis. That’s a shame. What VH1 is doing with their Save the Music campaign is phenomenal. They’re getting all these instruments out to needy kids. It’s the kind of thing all networks should be doing.第II卷宗（共45分）I.

He has a constant urge (33) for next messages; he checks his phone every five minutes! He’s so addicted to it that he just can’t stand the idea (34) there may be an important text. He can’t help checking even at inappropriate times like when we are eating in a restaurant and I am talking to him! He behaves (35) any small amount of boredom can make him feel the need to check his phone even when he know he shouldn’t. The temptation to see (36) is connecting him is just too great. When I ask him to put down the phone and stop (37) (ignore) me, he say, “In a minute.” but still checks to see if (38) has posted something new on the Internet. Our life (39) (interrupted). If we go somewhere and I ask him to have the phone at home, he suffers from withdrawalsymptom. May this dependency on his smart phone has become more thanan everyday problem.I recently read an article about “nomophobia,” (40) is areal illness people can’t suffer from the fear of being without yourphone! I am worried that Sam maybe suffering from this illnessbecause he feels anxious if he doesn’t have his phone with him, evenfor a short time.Who would have thought that little devices like these could havebrought so much trouble!Sick and Tired SadieSection BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in thebox. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one wordmore than you need.Considering how much time people spend in effects, it isimportant that with A be well designed. Well-designed office spaceshelp create a corporation’s image. They motivate workers and theymake an impression on people who visit and might be potential, or41 , customers. They make business work better, and they are apart of the corporate culture to live in.As we move away from an industrial-based economy to a knowledge-based one, office designers come up with 42 to the traditionalwork environments of the past. The design industry has moved awayfrom a fixed office setup and created more flexible “strategicmanagement environments.” These 43 solutions are meant to support better organizational performance.As employee hierarchies （等级制度）have flattened or decreased, office designers’ response to this change has been to move open-plan areas to more desirable locations within the office and create fewer formal private offices. The need for increased flexibility has also been 44 by changes in workstation design. Office and work spaces often are not 45 to a given person on a permanent basis. Because of changes to methods of working, new design allow for expansion or movement of desks, storage, and equipment within the workplace. Another important design goal is communication, which designers have improved by breaking the walls that 46 workstations. Designers have also created informal gathering places and upgraded employees’ 47 to heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of competing and often 48 demands, including budgetary limits, employees hierarchies and technological innovation (especially in relation to computerization). These demands must also be balanced with the need to create interiors (内饰) that in some way enhance, establish or possess a company’s image and will enable employees to 49 and their best.All these 50 of office design are related. The most successful office designs are like good marriage—the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are seemingly made for each other.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not detect interest in romance among the artists. 51 , you would see plenty of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people’s earned to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores,finding love is more 52 in people’s lives. The 53 is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love. An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 54 . They ask, what is love Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that 55 attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.First ImpressionTo help determine the 56 of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked to 57 what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.As it turned out, their 58 judgments often held true. Students seemed to 59 at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.The 60 KnowsScientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animals give off pheromones —natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling 61 to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as 62 as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people. Face ValueBeing fond of someone seems to have a number of factors,including seeing something we find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for 63 . The participants had seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way we 64 attractiveness seem to be somewhat automatic.When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to 65 words faster after viewing an attractive face.

R eading Comprehension銆€銆€Section A銆€銆€Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,銆€銆€B, C and D. Fillin each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.銆€銆€People on a college campus wer e more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they銆€銆€were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a nondisabled銆€銆€woman. In another 50 , subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble锛堢粖銆€銆€鑴氾級 and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim had a large red birthmark onhis 51 ;銆€銆€sometimes he did not. In this situation, the victim was more likelyt0 52 aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark. In 53 these and other research findings,two themes are 54 : we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think _ 55 _ assistance.銆€銆€In some situations, those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid. 56 , in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the airport. The application was ready to be 57 , but had apparently been "lost" . The photo attached to the application was sometimes that of avery 58 person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to59 the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive.銆€銆€The degree of _ 60 between the potential helper and the person in need is also important.銆€銆€For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shopperson a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n) 61 T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with offensive words.銆€銆€Whether a person receives help dependsin part on the "worth" of the case. For example,shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone . 62 _ to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more essentialfor 63 than cookies.Passengers on a New York subway were more likely to help a man who fell to the ground if he appeared tobe 64 rather than drunk.銆€銆€50.A.studyB.wayC.wordD.college銆€銆€51.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.銆€銆€(A)銆€銆€Phil White has just returned from an 18,OOO-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised ~70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastestperson to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.銆€銆€White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than l,300 hours in the saddle锛堣溅搴э級 and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.銆€銆€The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up t0 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. Forl,000 kilometres he battled against the windthat was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr.White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.銆€銆€65.

This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress-related disorders.銆€銆€Until now, psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same "fight-or-flight" reaction to stress. In other words, individuals eicher react with aggressive behavior, such as verbal or physical conflict ("fight"), or they react by withdrawing fromthe stressful situation ("flight"). However, the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress. While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response, women often have another kind of reaction which could be called "tend and befriend." That is, they often react to stressful conditions byprotecting and nurturing their young ("tend"), and by looking for social contact and support from others - especially other females銆?#39;befriend").銆€銆€Scientists have long known that in the fight-or- flight reaction to stress, an important role is played by certain hormones(婢堢礌) released by the body. The UCLA researchteam suggests that the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone. This hormone, called oxytocin,has been studied in the context of cFuldbirt.h, but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress. The principal investigator, Dr. Shelley E. Taylor,explained that "animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer, more relaxed, more social, and less anxious." While men also secrete銆愬垎娉岋級oxytocin, its effects are reduced by male hormones.銆€銆€In terms of everyday behavior, the UCLA study found that women are far. more likelythan men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed. They may phone relatives or friends, or ask directions if they are lost.銆€銆€The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work. The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother, coping with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs.銆€銆€The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stress-related disorders such ashigh blood pressure or aggressive behavior. The tend-and-befriend regulatory(璋冭妭鐨? system may protect women against stress, and this may explain why women on average live longer than men.銆€銆€72. The UCLA study shows that in response to stress, men are more likely than women to .銆€銆€A. turn to friends for help銆€銆€B. solve a conflict calmly銆€銆€C. find an escape from reality銆€銆€D. seek comfort from children銆€銆€73. Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage?銆€銆€A. Men have the same level of oxytocin as women do.銆€銆€B. Oxytocin used to be studied in both men and women.銆€銆€C. Both animals and people have high levels of oxytocin.銆€銆€D. Oxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men.銆€銆€74. What can be learned from the passage?銆€銆€A. Male hormones help build up thebody's resistance to stress.銆€銆€B. In a family a mother cares more about children than a father does.銆€銆€C. Biological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress.銆€銆€D. The UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings.銆€銆€75. Which of the following might be the best ti.tle of the passage?銆€銆€A. How men and women get over stress銆€銆€B. How men and women suffer f rom stress銆€銆€C. How researchers overcome stress problems銆€銆€D. How researchers handle stress-related disorders銆€銆€Section C銆€銆€Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each銆€銆€paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.銆€銆€A. When a child should learn to read銆€銆€B. Why it is fun to teach a child reading銆€銆€C. What if a child has reading problems銆€銆€D. How you prepare a young child for reading銆€銆€E. What is the best way to teach a child reading銆€銆€F. Whether reading early promises later achievements銆€銆€76.Learning to read early has become one of those indicators - in parents' minds at least - that their child is smart. In fact, reading early has very little to do with whether a child is successful academically. Research has shown that difficulty with reading is often due not to inferior intelligence but to differences in the developmental wiring of each individual child. In some cases, there are neurological problems and developmental lags that can be overcome with proper training.銆€銆€77.銆€銆€Traditionally, American schools teach children at age six, but many schools begin teaching informally in kindergarten and pre-kindergarten. If parents start too early to encourage reading,and a child does not immediately succeed, the parent has a hard time relaxing and letting the child go at his or her own pace.銆€銆€78.銆€銆€Over the years, research has proved that the use of both the e&whole language" method and the "phonic" method works best for a child to master reading. While the whole language approach, which includes reading to children and getting them interested in both the activity of reading and the story they are reading, is helpful, phonics must be taught. Children must be taught that one of the squiggles they see is a "p" and another a "b". Getting the print off the page requires a different ability than being able to understand the meaning of what is written.銆€銆€79.銆€銆€You can start developing the skills needed in reading at a very young age without putting any pressure on children. Besides reading to them, parents can start "ear training" their child by playing thyme games. This develops the child's ability to recognizedifferent sounds. In reading to children, parents also can point to words as they go, teaching the child that the funny lines on the page are the words you are saying. All this should be a fun activity.銆€銆€80.銆€銆€Once a child is in school, the learning of reading is inevitably more serious. For children who have some kind of reading difficulty, you must get a professional diagnosis. While the teacher might say the child is merely disinterested but will get over it, disinterest or poor performance in reading can stem from a number of things, some being very specific learning disabilities that can be identified and worked on. But it is very tricky for parents to deal with their own child's learning disabilities.銆€銆€Section D銆€銆€Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.銆€銆€While contact between adolescents (between the ages of fifteen and nineteen) and their peers crd榫勪汉) is a universalcharacteristic of all cultures, the nature and the degree of such contact vary a great deal. In American contemporary society, adolescents spend much more time with their peers than with younger children or adults.銆€銆€This pattern of age segreg ation(闅旂) in American society did not become usual until the beginning of the industrialized society. Changes in the workplace separated children from adults,with adults worHng and children attending school. The dramatic increase of mothers inthe workplace has further contributed to the reduction in the amount of time adolescents spend with adults. School reform efforts during the nineteenth century, which resulted in age-segregated schools and grades, have reduced the amount of time adolescents spend with younger children.Finally, the changes in population are considered a factor that may have contributed to the emergence of adolescent peer culture. From 1955 t0 1975, the adolescent population increased dramatically, from 11 percent t0 20.9 percent. This increase in the number of adolescents might be a contributing factor to the increase in adolescent peer culture in terms of growth in size.銆€銆€Research supports the view that adolescents spend a great deal of time withtheir peers. Reed Larson and his colleaguesexamined adolescents' daily activities and found that they spend more time talking to their friends than engaging in any other activity. In a typical week, high school students will spend twice as much time with their peers as with adults. This gradual withdrawal from adults begins in early adolescence. Ln sixth grade, adults (excluding parents) account for only 25 percent of adolescent social networks. Another important characteristic of adolescent peer culture is its increasingly autonomous (鐧芥不鐨? function. While childhood peer groups are conducted under the close supervision of parents, adolescent peer groups typically make an effort to escape adult supervision and usually succeed in doing so.銆€銆€(Note: Answer t.he quesnons or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)銆€銆€81. "This pattern of age segregation" refers to the phenomenon that adolescents segregate themselves from銆€銆€82. Besides changes in theworkplace, are the other two factors contributing to adolescent peer culture.銆€銆€83. When do adolescents start to spend less time with adults?銆€銆€84. How do adolescent peer groups differ from childhood peer groups?銆€銆€绗琁I鍗?nbsp; 锛堝叡45鍒嗭級銆€銆€I锛嶵ranslation銆€銆€Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.銆€銆€1锛庡ス浜斿勾鍓嶅紑濮嬫媺灏忔彁鐞淬€?play)銆€銆€2锛庣敱浜庡ぉ姘旀伓鍔ｏ紝鑸彮寤惰浜嗗ソ鍑犱釜灏忔椂銆?owing)銆€銆€3锛庢瘡浣嶈璁″笀閮藉笇鏈涜嚜宸辩殑浣滃搧鑳界粡鍙楁椂闂寸殑鑰冮獙銆?stand)銆€銆€4锛庤兘鍚︽姷寰＄綉缁滄父鎴忕殑璇辨儜鏄憜鍦ㄤ腑瀛︾敓闈㈠墠鐨勪竴閬撻毦棰樸€?It)銆€銆€5锛庡湪灞曡浼氫笂锛屽叕鍙搁攢鍞粡鐞嗗睍绀轰簡瀛╁瓙浠繕棣栦互鐩肩殑鏂板瀷鐢靛瓙鐜╁叿銆?demonstrate)銆€銆€II锛嶨uided Writing銆€銆€Directions: Write an English composition in 120 - 150 words according to the instructions given銆€銆€below in Chinese.銆€銆€涓婂懆涓€锛屼綘鍦ㄤ竴鎵€灏忓瑙傛懇浜嗗皬濂冲Amy鎵€鍦ㄧ彮绾х殑涓ゅ爞缁樼敾璇撅紙濡傚浘鎵€绀猴級锛屽洖瀹跺悗浣犵敤鑻辫鍐欎簡涓€绡囨棩璁帮紝鍐呭鍖呮嫭锛?/p>銆€銆€鈼?nbsp; 瀵逛袱鍫傜粯鐢昏鐨勫叿浣撴弿杩帮紱銆€銆€鈼?nbsp; 浣犱粠涓幏寰楃殑鍚彂銆?/p>銆€銆€涓婃捣鑻辫鑻辫鍙傝€?/p>銆€銆€绗?鍗?/p>銆€銆€绗竴澶ч绗?鑷崇10灏忛锛屾瘡棰?鍒嗭紱绗?1鑷崇16灏忛锛屾瘡棰?鍒嗭紱绗?7鑷崇24灏忛锛屾瘡棰?鍒嗐€傚叡30鍒嗐€?/p>銆€銆€1.B 2.C 3.B 4.C 5.D6.B7.A8.D9.C 10.

Fill in each blank withthe word or phrase that best fits the context.（A）Being alone in outer space can be frightening. That is one reason whyastronauts on solo（单独的） space flight were given plenty ofwork to keep them 45 . They were also in constant communicationwith people on the earth, 46 , beingwith people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than beingalone. This is what happens on long submarine（潜水艇）voyages. It will also happen on 47 space flights in the future. Will there be special problemsof adjustment under such conditions?Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during longsubmarine voyages. They have found that the longer the voyage lasts, the moreserious the problem of 48 is. When menare 49 together for a long period, they beginto feel uneasy. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that areordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time,however, these little habits may become very 50 .Apparently, although no one wants to be 51 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. Whenpeople are enclosed together, they are in what is called a stress situation.That means that they are under an unusual amount of 52 or stress.People who are well-adjusted are able to 53 stress situations better than others. That is one reason whyso much care is taken in54 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testingand training.

As aFrench graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe Ihave some idea of why the failure is so total. 55 the faults already found out in theeducation system as a whoie-such as child-centred learning, the “discovery”method,and the low expectations by teachers of pupils-there have been several serious 56 which have a direct effect on languageteaching.The first is the removal from the curriculum（课程）of the thorough teaching of English57 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentencefrom its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in abilitygroups so 58 that the most able pupils are 59 and are bored while the least able are lost and 60 Bored. Strangelyenough, few head teachers seem tobe in favour of mixed-ability school football teams.Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately theystop having 61 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessonsat school, even those who got good grades, have forgotten it a few years later. 62 they never need it, they do not practice it.Most American schools have accepted what is inevitableand 63 modem languages, even Spanish, from thecurriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britaio to do the same, andstop 64 resources on a subject which few pupilswant or need.55．A．DuetoB．In addition toC．Instead ofD．In spite of56．A．errorsB．situationsC．systemsD．methods57．A．vocabularyB．cultureC．grammarD．literature58．A．wideB．similarC．separateD．unique59．A．keptoutB．turned downC．help backD．left behind 60．A．surprisingly B．individuallyC．equallyD．regular 61．A．extraB．traditionalC．basicD．regular 62．A．AlthoughB．BecauseC．UntilD．Unless 63．A．restored B．absorbedC．prohibitedD．withdrawn 64．A．wastingB．focusingC．exploitingD．sharingIV．Reading ComprehensionDirections： Read the following four passages. Eachpassage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each ofthem there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits bestaccording to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How aboutan ice-Cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream.Just ask John Harrison, an “OfficialTaste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testinghelps manufacturers to be sure of a product’squality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving largequantities of the sweet ice cream –as well as for developing over 75 flavors （味道）.Some people think that it would be casy to do this job; after all, youjust have to like ice cream, right? No –there’s more to the job than that, saysHarrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food – science degree would be very useful tosomeone wanting a career in this “cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses60ice-cream samples.

The good news:With the introduction of a “foreverstamp,”it may be the last time Americanshave to use annoying 2-or 3-cent stamps to make up postage diffcrences.Beginning in May, people would be able to purchase the stamps inbooklets of 20 at the regular rate of a first-elass stamp. As the name implies,“forever stamps” will keep their first-class mailing valueforever, even when the postage rate goes up.The new “forever stamp” is the United States Postal Service’（USPS）answer to the complaints about frequent rate increases. The May increase willbe the fifth in a decade. Postal rates have risen because of inflation （通货膨胀），competition from online bill paying, and therising costs of employee benefits, including healthcare, says Mark Saunders, aSpokesman for USPS.The USPS expects some financial gain from sales of the “forever stamp”and the savings from not printing as many 2-or 3-cent stamps. “It’snot your grandfather’s stamp,” says Mr. Saunders. “It could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp.”Other countries, including Canada, England, and Finland use similarstamps.Don Schilling, who has collected stamps for 50 years, he’s interested in the public’s reaction. “Thisis an entirely new class of stamps,”Mr. Schilling says. He adds that he’llbuy the stamps because he will be able to use them for a long period of time,not because they could make him rich-the volume printed will be too large forcollectors. “We won’t be able to send our kids to college onthese,” he says, laughing.The USPS board of governors has yet o accept the Postal RegulatoryCommission’s decision, but tends to followits recommendations. No plans have been announced yet for the design of thestamps.72．The main purpose of introducing a “forever stamp”is .A．to reduce the cost of printing2-or 3-cent stampsB．to help save the consumers’ cost on first-class mailingC．to respond to the complaints aboutrising postal ratesD．to compete with online bill paying73．By saying “It could be your great-grand children’s stamp”,Mr Saunders means that forever stampsA．could be collected by one’s great-grandchildrenB．might be very precious ingreat-grandchildren’s handsC．might have been inherited from one’s great-grandfathersD．could be used by one’s great-grandchildren even decades later74．Which of the following is trueaccording to the passage?A．The investment in forever stampswill bring adequate reward.B．America will be the first countryto issue forever stamps.C．The design of the “forever stamp”remains to be revealed.D．2-or 3-cent stamps will no longerbe printed in the future.75．What can be concluded from thepassage?A．With forever stamps, there will beno need to worry about rate changes.B．Postal workers will benefit mostform the sales of forever stamps.C．The inflation has become a threatto the sales of first-class stamps.D．New interest will be aroused incollecting forever stamps.（D）The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may neverbe the same again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal toenvironmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financialsupport to produce eco-friendly tens made of cardboard that can be recycledafter the bands and the crowds have gone home.Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandonedtents at the end of events each year. For his final year project at theUniversity of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with amaterial thatcan be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has beenmade waterproof.Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard tomake big buildings including churches, Mr Dunlop used cardboard material forhis tents, which he called Myhabs.The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after MrDunlop Graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turnit into a business.To raise money for the idea, he toured the City’s private companies which fund new businessesand found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to fourof Mint’s directors and won their support.Mint has committed around ￡500,000to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr Dunlop’s business. The first Myhabs should be testedat festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.Mr Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, couldhave other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the LondonOlympics.For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and putup at the sites by the Myhab team before the festival-goers arrive and removedby the company afterwards, They can be Personalized and the company will offerreductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior （外部的） advertising space.The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, withGlastonhury having some 150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becomingincreasingly environmentally conscious.76．“Eco-friendly tents” in paragraph 1 refer to tents .A．economically desirableB．favorable to the environmentC．for holding music performancesD．designed for disaster relief77．Mr Dunlop established his business .A．independently with aninterest-free loan from MintB．with the approval of the City’s administrationC．in partnership with a financegroupD．with the help of a Japanesearchitect78．It is implied in the passage that .A．the weather in the UK.

There is one extra heading which you do not need.An interview with Wynton Marsalis, a noted jazz musician80．There were the older jazz musicians who hung around our house when Iwas young. I saw how much they practiced, how serious they were about theirart.I knew then I had to work just as hard if I wanted to succeed. Of course,my father inspired me a lot, and many teachers took the time to nurture mylatent and the talents of other students in our school.81．Yes. We’ve done such a poor job with musiceducation because, as a society, we haven’tmaintained the kind of education that a true artist and musician needs. Youngpeople haven’t been able to equate romance andtalent with music. For instance, most of the people who make it in the musicindustry today have to look good. How they sound is secondary. Sarah Vaughan,Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald —those big, romantic queens of jazz music wouldn’tmake it in today’s music industry, and that’s a shame. We need to teach young peopleabout the alternatives.82．Around the would people make music that, if you listen carefully to it,sounds a little like the cadence of their language. I’d call it folk music. When I’m away from home, I make a point of listeningto regional folk music, not what’son the radio.83．The same music is on the radio all over the world, and the Americansound is overwhelming. Even the pop music that’sproduced and created in foreign countries has that American beat, thatunderscore of funk. As a musician, I’mnot interested in hearing recycled versions of the same genre over and over.Any music that doesn’t have a development section justisn’t interesting to me.84．The music press has so much to introduce these days, and jazz is just asmall fraction of it. Because some people are intimidated by jazz, they don’t cover it unless it’s a big name. New jazz musicians don’t get much of break. A lot of editors don’t say anything about jazz these days unlessit’s Marsalis. That’s a shame. What VH1 is doing with their Savethe Music campaign is phenomenal. They’regetting all these instruments out to needy kids. It’s the kind of thing all networks should bedoing.第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I．TranslationDirections:： Translate the following sentences into Englishusing the words given in the brackets.1．他们的新房子离学校很远。
