AChester City Library offers a range of Library Special Needs Services to people who don’t have access to our library service in the usual way. As long as you live in Chester City, we’ll provide a wide range of library services and resources including:● Large printed and ordinary printed books● Talking books on tape and CD● DVDs and music CDs● Magazines● Reference and information requestsHome delivery serviceLet us know what you like to read and we will choose the resources for you.

Few entertaining resources are offered here.B. People with limited hearing have to pay for captioned videos.C. Books with different languages are available.D. People have to choose what they need by themselves.3.To get home delivery service, you must_______.A. only choose printed books.B. have others choose the resources for you.C. pay the library ahead of time.D. register ahead of time.BIn China, chain restaurants, especially the big multinational ones, are cool. Going to Starbucks, for e xample, is a status symbol. It not only says, “I’m rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee,” but also, “I’m cosmopolitan(见多识广的)enough to be part of globalization.”Where I come from in the UK, however, chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet(美食的). Cha ins are where you go on New Year’s Day when nowhere else is open, or when you are 5 years old and your parents can’t stand hearing, “I’m huuuuuungry!” any longer. In my own case (with regards to McDonald’s), a chain is where you are taken on your first “date”. Even at the age of 13, I knew to give the guy the “let’s just be friends” phone call the next day.In the UK, independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene. Nowadays, a Londoner who says “let’s meet for a coffee at Monmouth” (an independent cafe) is much cooler than one who says “let’s go to Starbucks”. Even if Monmouth’s coffee is a little more expensive, there’s a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren’t going straight to the big corporations.Of course, there are cha in stores all over the UK; you can’t go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee. But numbers do not add up to good taste.I do, however, have a confession (坦白). After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much. I, too, have retreated to McDonald’s.4.Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants because ______.A. the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture.B. the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants.C. they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status.D. these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date.5.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The author has grown tired of Chinese food.B. Branches of Monmout h’s cafe can be found all over the UK.C. Most independent stores are closed on New Year’s Day in the UK.D. It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant.6.We can infer from the article that ______.A. the author doesn’t like food fr om Pizza Hut.B. many Britons don’t like big corporations.C. many Britons think that numbers mean poor quality.D. the author doesn’t like to follow fashion trends.7.What does the underlined word (in the last paragraph) mean?A. adaptedB. contributedC. subscribedD. switchedC“A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website” is the definition of “selfie” in the Oxford English Dictionary. In fact, it wasn’t even in the dictionary until August of last year. It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed with (对……痴迷) selfies ─ we take them when we try on a new hat, play with our pets or when we meet a friend whom we haven’t seen in a while.But is there any scientific explanation for this obsession? Well, you should probably ask James Kilner, a neuroscientist(神经系统科学家) at University College London.Through our lifetime we become experts at recognizing and inte rpreting other people’s faces and facial expressions. In contrast, according to Kilner, we have a very poor understanding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at them ─ we just feel them most of the time.This has been proved in previous studies, according to the BBC.Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture. This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better-looking than we actually are. To further test how we actually perceive our own faces, Kilner carried out another study. He showed people different versions of their own portrait ─ the original, one that had been edited to look less attractive and one that was made more attractive ─ and asked them to pick the version which they thought looked most like them. They chose the more attractive version.But what does it say about selfies? Well, isn’t that obvious? Selfies give us the power to create a photograph ─ by taking it from various angles, with different poses, using filters (滤色镜) and so on ─ that bet ter matches our expectations with our actual faces.“You suddenly have control in a way that you do n’t have in non-virtual(非虚拟的)interactions,” Kilner told the Canada-based CTV News. Selfies allow you “to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one yo u’re happy with”, he explained.8.What is the passage mainly about?A. The definition and fun of taking selfies.B. A study of why people love taking selfies.C. How taking selfies influences people’s daily lives.D. How to interpret people’s facial expres sions in their selfies.9.The underlined word “perceive” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “______”.A. interpretB. chooseC. beautifyD. explain10.What did Kilner discover from his researches?A. People tend to believe they look more attractive than they actually are.B. People tend to spend more time looking at their faces than at others’.C. People interpret others’ facial expressions worse than their own.D. People who like taking selfies know more about their facial expressions.11.According to Kilner, people like taking selfies probably because they think ______.A. it is a good chance to learn more about their actual faces.B. it allows them to satisfy their expectations with their appearances.C. it enables them to interact with their friends in social media.D. it is a way to respond to others’ facial expressions correctly.DIt never occurred to anybody, not even the creators that the world would care about the complex lives, loves and sufferings of a group of attractive and wit ty New Yorkers. But there’s no doubt that Friends(老友记)has become more than just a successful situation comedy ─ it has established itself as one of the last great television phenomena of the last century. Along the way, it has made its half-dozen leading actors famous.Looking back on the strong friendship between the group of three men and three women who frequently gather at each other’s apartments and at Greenwich Village’s Central Perk coffee house, Friends was created by television producers, David Crane and Marta Kauffman. In 1993, the pair met producer Kevin S. Bright. Then the three became partners and got a deal to produce a new comedy for Warner Brothers. What they came up with was based on Crane and Kauffman’s after-college years, when they hung out at the local coffee house and involved themselves in every aspect of each other’s lives.It didn’t take long for viewers to make friends with Friends. The situation comedy quickly became a top ten hit. Critics loved it as well. Entertainment Weekly said the show operated like aBroadway show, with twisty plots and unique jokes. The television theme song has also been a success with the public. The song’s success helped save the television theme song. An ABC(美国广播公司)executive was ready to order very short music intros(前奏) on his network’s shows, thinking that viewers would hit the remote control as soon as the opening started. But the success of the Friends theme song led the ABC executive to change his mind ─ remote controls or not, the TV theme song would stay.Years have gone by, but Friends remains and will remain an example of a modern US situation comedy that is both hugely entertaining television and nothing short of a genuine latter-day social phenomenon.12.What is stressed in the second paragraph?A. The origin of FriendsB. The role models of FriendsC. The popularity of FriendsD. The brilliance of Friends13.Which of the following is TRUE about Friends?A. It has a simple but entertaining plot.B. It is about friendship between college students.C. It was criticized by Entertainment Weekly.D. It first came into being in the 1990s.14.What can we learn from the passage?A. Producer, Kevin S. Bright, graduated from the same college as David Crane.B. ABC once replaced the theme song of its TV show with a short music intro.C. The ABC executive thought highly of the theme song of Friends.D. Marta Kauffman expected Friends to achieve great success.15.What might the author think of Friends?A. Its merits outweigh its shortcomings.B. He/she shows great affection towards it.C. He/she has a reserved attitude towards its success.D. Its success lies in the lack of good situation comedies.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。

Here I feel greatly privileged to introduce to you my favorite one, the Dragon Boat Festival.Being a lunar holiday, the Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. With a long history, it is marked with eating Zongzi and racing dragon boats, in memory of the great ancient poet Qu Yuan. He is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river, due to the fact that his devotion to his country was ignored. The reason why I favor this festival is that I really enjoy having a good feed on delicious Zongzi while watching the wonderful Dragon Boat races, with all my family members accompanied.To sum up, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day of vital significance. I do hope you can come to China to experience it.Best wishes!Yours,Li Hua听力原文:Text 1M: Only two days left until summer break! What are your plans, Jessica?W: I’m off to Canada for a camping trip. (1) What about you, Sam?M: I think I’ll stay here and relax.Text 2W: What are you guys laughing at?M: It’s this new movie called The Internship. It’s very funny. (2)Text 3M: I’m afraid we’ll have to cancel the trip, Grace.W: Yeah, this is much more important. You’ll have to go to the funeral. He was your uncle. (3) Text 4W: Benjamin promised to come for our party if he has time.M: He often does it, but he never seems to have time. So you had better not take his words seriously, otherwise you will get disappointed later. (4)Text 5 (推断题)W: I often mistake Mark for Tom in class. Can you tell them apart?M: No. They are twins, and many teachers make the same mistake like us. It is really a little embarrassing to make mistakes all the time in face of so many students.Text 6M: Look at all this bread! French, Italian…it all looks really good. I don’t know when America started its bread revolution, but I’m sure glad it happened. I could eat bread all day!W: Me, too. This isn’t the kind of bread we ate when we were young. That sliced bread had more artificial things in it than you can count! (6)M: Yeah, but our parents didn’t realize it was so unhealthy. These days, you can find a lot of freshly-baked bread with only four or five ingredients.W: So, what are we going to buy? That long loaf of dark bread looks really good.M: I’d rather have something lighter and thicker so I can make a nice big sandwich with it. (7) Text 7M: L ook at this place! If I didn’t know it was the city I grew up in, I’d swear I was somewhere else! (8)W: Yeah…so many houses are empty or broken down. It wasn’t like this when we were kids. M: We used to play ball in the streets all the time, but it looks so dangerous now.W: And ugly. Look at all that trash in the streets. (9) The wind just pushes it along. What a lonely place!M: This used to be a great city. People came from miles around to work in the shops and eat in the restaurants. What a sad sight! I guess when the glass making industry decided to move across the country where it’s cheaper, the quality of life here went away, too.W: Yeah, let’s go. There’s nothing left for us here. I’m getting depressed.Text 8W: George, why are you a vegetarian? Your whole family eats meat, except you. I can’t imagine how you chose to live this way.M: Oh, it happened a long time ago when I was about ten years old. We had some friends who lived on a small farm. They had chickens, goats, sheep, and a few cows. (11) One time, we were invited over for dinner. We came early so we could play before we ate. I was running around the yard with my friends, when I saw the father preparing the meal. He had just caughta chicken and was cutting off its head. I felt very sick when I saw him do it. (12) After that, Iwould think about the poor chicken every time I ate meat. I ate less and less meat, until Istopped for good when I was twelve years old. (10)W: I see. What did your parents think about your decision?M: Well, sin ce it didn’t happen all at once, they probably learned to accept that I would be a vegetarian. It wasn’t easy for them — especially for Mom, who had to cook differently for me. Text 9M: Mom, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the food in India. Ev er since I got back from my trip, I’ve been dying for some real Indian food. (13) But there’s nothing around here. No restaurants serve the kinds of dishes I ate there. I’d have to go to a big city to find anything that comes close. In our town, they don’t even make spicy food!W: Well, Drew, why don’t you try making your own? (14)M: I wish I could! But I wouldn’t know where to start.W: I’ll help you look online for some recipes.M: How will we know which ones are good?W: We’ll try them, of course! After some practice, we’ll be able to tell which ones we’ll like best. M: But I doubt we’ll find everything we need in the grocery stores. I’m sure they use many unusual spices in India.W: We will start simply. I know I’ve seen some Thai spices at the marke t — maybe some of them will be useful. If we find that those aren’t enough, we can order some online. There must be Indian grocery stores somewhere in America that will ship them. (15) If worse comes to worst,I’ll ask my brother in New York to look around. (16) He should be able to find a place that sells Indian spices!M: Thanks, Mom! (16) This is gonna be fun! I can’t wait to start cooking!Text 10Whoever dreamed up the idea of a subway knew what it means to live in a city. Study the faces of the subway riders, and you’ll see what I mean. They are all traveling in a busy world that exists under another busy world. The New York subway is one of the largest public transportation systems in the world. It is also one of the oldest — it has been underneath this city for 110 years now. (17) I’ve been riding it for half that time. When I was a kid, there wasn’t any fear — only adventure. Subways were for dreaming. And I would stand at the window of the front car and dream through the great network of tunnels, watching the red and green lights go by. A subway is like a secret, a child’s game. You go in one hole and you come out another. You move fast —much faster than a taxi, or walking or running. Years ago, a woman named Rosie Ruiz tried to steal a victory in the New York marathon by taking a subway to the finish line. (18) Rosie was right. The subway was faster. In the 1960s, the subway got to be a dangerous place. (19) Subways have been made a great deal safer since then. I think what people like most about the subway, apart from basic transportation, still comes from the magic feeling of rushing around fast in a train underground. (20)。

First of all, a heavy snow and freezing rain that had fallen the day before made the road I was driving on dangerous. The road had been cleared, (21)__________ it was still dangerously icy. (22)__________ the slippery road, I was stupidly going along (23)__________ about 50 miles an hour, instead of driving more cautiously.(24)__________ factor was a dirty green van that suddenly pulled onto the road from a small crossroad of the street about fifty yards ahead of me. The road (25)__________ (cover) with asheet of ice at that point and if I applied my brakes, I would steer into the van. So I carefully drove my car into the next lane, and though the rear of my car began skidding back and forth, for a moment I got the idea (26)__________ everything was OK as I drove past the slow-moving van.Unfortunately, the rear of my V olkswagen was heavy (27)__________ the engine was there and also because there was a new weight-lifting set (28)__________ (lay) in the back seat, the result of (29)__________ was that after I passed the van, my car turned completely around on the slippery road. I was desperately sliding down the highway backwards at 50 miles an hour. Then I slid off the road, (30)__________ (hit) a wooden fence post. My left rear taillight was broken in the process. Then I suddenly saw a telephone pole about only 6 feet to the right of me, and I realized my accident could have really been a disaster.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can onlyEveryone who knows Olivia Griffiths is impressed by her unique sense of style. Whenever she walks into a room, heads turn. Her friends wonder how she managed to get the new Mulberry handbag that no one had thought was 31 in Australia yet.The truth is that Olivia has never left Australia. But with a few clicks of her computer mouse, she can travel to shopping 32 around the world. Online shopping has 33 the consumer experience. With the help of an increasing number of online shops overseas, shoppers can now pick up interesting goods from all over the world.The biggest advantage of shopping on foreign websites is the wide range of choices available. For example, Chinese shoppers are often disappointed when Gap products are not available locall y. But now it’s possible to order these products straight from the US with a credit card and a small 34 fee. Other benefits of online shopping include 35 prices. When items are bought online from other countries, they’re often tax-free.However, when you buy things from a foreign website, things can get 36 too. So make sure you pay extra attention to protecting your rights.Sometimes it can be difficult to handle foreign websites because of the unfamiliar language. For example, the term “delivered in 1-5 working days” can be confusing for Chinese shoppers, as it doesn’t clarify whether this is the time in which the product will arrive or the time it takes for it to be 37 .The method of delivering can also determine whether you get your product at all. Unless you choose express or priority delivering, which only takes a few days to deliver but is more expensive, most 38 international delivering doesn’t offer a tracking option ― which means once your products are 39 outside of the country there’s no way of finding out where they are.The best consumers are the most sensible ones. If you’re interested in expanding your shopping 40 to foreign websites, make sure you do your research beforehand to avoid your money and products being lost on the way.III.

It is said that there are less than 20 in the world 41 , one of which is now living in the national zoo of Peru. In order to protect this jaguar, Peruvians singledout a pitch of land in the zoo for it, where there are flocks of animals for it to eat.

The jaguar just sometimes went out of its house with its “girlfriend” and stayed in the sun for a while.“It is 44 for the jaguar to be lazy in this environment.

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 read.(A)You may have heard a lot about the people collecting stamps or coins. However, have you heard about people who like to collect paper cups or wrapping paper, things that we see every day but might not have for once looked at seriously?Jeffrey Brown, a 32-year-old NET teacher from the UK, was very interested when he first saw the paper cups used in Chinese tea restaurants in Hong Kong. “You can see these orange and white pretty cups all the time when you buy takeaway drinks at a local tea restaurant. The patterns on the outside of the cups are unique. Yet people in Hong Kong just see straight through them,” he said. “They think these paper cups look all the same, but in fact each of them looks a bit differentfrom the others. If you pay attention, you’ll notice some of these paper cups have spiral(螺旋) patterns on them, some of them have patterns of waves. There is a large number of variations.”Jeffrey now owns over 200 paper cups, all in the color of white and orange but with different designs. When people offer to buy his cups, he simply refuses.Another collector, Stacey Cheng, likes to collect sweets wrapping paper and uses it to make decorative art. Her work is among the most popular goods in local gift shops. “I started collecting them when I was 4,” she said smiling. “When I finished a sweet, I wouldn’t let my mum throw away the wrapping paper because it looked so pretty.” Now, whenever Stacey enters a snack shop, the first thing she does is to look for new products with special designs. “On ce I finish the sweets.I keep the wrapping paper. Sometimes I treat my friends to the snacks just to get the wrapping paper sooner,” she said. “They can’t be happier when I do so.”56.You may find this text in a magazine about _______.A.lifeB. travelC. historyD. science57.What does “variations” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.collectionsB. hobbiesC. differencesD. cups58.Stacey collects the wrapping paper because it _______.A.likes its patternsB. has wonderful designsC. is easy to collectD. can be a sweet memory59.This text mainly talks about _______.A.special collectionsB. patterns of wrapping cupsC. people who enjoy special collectionsD. people who are fond of wrapping cups.(B)The following safety risks may result in serious injury or death to the user of the MINI Cooper S:●This product contains small parts that are for adult assembly only.

A product handbook.(C)Foreseeing a time when a patient’s own cells may be harvested, multiplied, and fashioned into a replacement organ, researchers in Boston have successfully transplanted laboratory grown bladders (肾) into six dogs.For a century, physicians have replaced diseased or damaged bladders by removing sections of a person’s intestines (肠子) and shaping them into a substitute bladder. While the procedure offers some relief to patients, complications often develop because nature designs intestinal tissue for a purpose—absorbing nutrients—other than holding waste liquid of the body. “You start absorbing stuff that should be removed,” says Anthony Atala of the Children’s Hospital in Boston.Other physicians have turned to human-made materials to create artificial bladders, but those efforts have also run into problems. Consequently, to build a better bladder, Atala and his colleagues decided to employ the organ’s own cells.To turn the cells into an organ, the researchers first form plastic which can break down naturally into bladder-shaped shell. They then coat its outside and inside with layers of cells needed.To test this strategy, Atala’s group obtained bladder tissue from dogs and grew it into organs. After removing the dogs’ bladders, the investigators implanted(移植) the artificial ones coming from the dogs’ own cells. Within a month, the organs began to perform like normal bladders.Within three months, the plastic shells had broken down naturally, and the implanted organs were hard to distinguish from natural ones. Blood vessels(血管) quickly grew into them. Moreover, nerves seem to form proper connections with the new organs, allowing the dogs to regain normal control of their bladders. Some dogs have had the artificial bladders for nearly a year without any problems.While the bladders of dogs closely resemble those of people, Atala warns that more testing of this transplant strategy must occur before artificial bladders are ready for the clinic.63.The traditional method of shaping parts of intestines into a substitute bladder _______.A.allows the patient to absorb useless thingsB.brings the patient a lot of sufferingsC.prevents the patient from absorbing nutrientsD.worsens both the function of the intestines and the bladder64.The artificial bladders implanted in dogs _______.A.worked perfectly as long as three monthsB.began to work as well as a normal one in a few weeksC.proved to be able to work for several yearsD.did not work properly until after a month65.Why is it suggested that more testing should be made?A.What suits dogs’ bladders will also suit human bladders.B.Dogs’ bladders can be implanted into human bodies.C.Human bladders may well be different from dogs.D.Artificial bladders grown in dogs can be used for human beings.66.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The way of turning intestines into bladders.B.The prospect of manufacturing plastic bladders.C.The history of making artificial bladders.D.The possibility of making bladders from their own cells.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Criticism can be divided into two types.The first type is when someone expresses their disapproval. This is the type of criticism that can be the most hurtful. Parents might express their disapproval of your choice in career, friends or lifestyle. People may criticize how you dress or the way you act. It can be terribly unpleasant to tolerate(容忍) it.The second type of criticism involves pointing out your weaknesses and mistakes. No one is perfect, yet many imperfect people seem to find it extremely easy to “let us know” when we mess up. 67 And the fact that they are telling us what we already know makes it much more annoying. When people express their disapproval of some area of your life you first need to consider how you feel about it. You need to be secure in who you are and the decisions that you make. 68Remember that there is a difference between being firm in your choices and being stubborn(固执的). Don’t be stubborn. Be mature enough to truly hear what they are saying, even if you don’t agree with it at first. 69 If not, just let it go and trust that they meant well,but what they were saying is not for you. Don’t be mad at them.70 Improving yourself works best if you can see yourself from different angles. Other people have different views on what you are doing and can help you. If you are one of those people who just want to learn the hard way, try listening to some advice for a change. It might do you some good.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.How to deal with Whiners(抱怨不停的人) ?There are always some people radiating negativity in the work place. For them, the temperature is never right, the boss is always a fool, the canteen food is awful, and they are always treated unfairly.Career experts say such habitual complainers are highly contagious(会蔓延的) and that their attitude can easily affect an entire team in a company. “While some complaints might be reasonable, others are taken from thin air. You need to see between these different types and adopt the right strategy toward s each,” said Li Ling, HR manager at Wal-Mart (China).It’s especially hard to deal with complaints at work because you can’t just walk away or put your colleagues’ words out of mind. If you do, it will hurt your co-workers and you might be isolated. In a team-based company you belong to a group and need to behave accordingly. But don’t show too much sympathy. Listening passively to others’ complaints could damage your image and give others the impression that you agree with them. “Listen to the whiners actively,” says HR Li. “Help them find a solution, or see if there are ways to improve the situation.”Zhai Min, 24, a software engineer at Kingdee International Software Group in Shenzhen, found that 3 elderly workers liked to complain about everything, from extended working hours to cheap hotels on business trips. “I let them talk about their opinions,” she said, “They feel better when they can tell someone how they want things to be.”But listening actively is far from enough. Wang Dianxue, 27, is an Internet engineer at Beijing Push Marcom Group. His co-workers always complain that their computer systems are not working properly. “I ask about the specifics and work together with them to fix everything technically.” he said.HR managers believe that when staffs complain, it is more a matter of recognition than an actual problem. “The real problem is that the whiners don’t feel they are being taken seriously,” said Xu Jun, HR manager at Guangqi Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. “When you attentively give them ad vice or perspectives, the problem usually disappears.”V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.他很少意识到与别人交流的重要性。

The underlined word workhorse is closest in meaning with ______.A. makerB. laborerC. speakerD. digger(C)American researchers found females are the more talkative sex because of a special “language protein” in the brain.The study, conducted by neuroscientists(神经学家) and psychologist from the University of Maryland, concluded that women talked more because they had more of the Foxp2 protein. The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day – over 13,000 more than men. "This study is one of the first to report a sex difference in the expression of a language-associated protein in humans or animals,” said Prof Margaret McCarthy, who led the study. In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what might make male rats more vocal than their female friends.They separated four-day-old rats from their mothers andthen counted the number of times they cried out in the “ultrasonic range”, the frequencies higher than humans can hear, over five minutes. While both sexes called out hundreds of cries, the males called out twice as often, they found. But when the pups were returned to their mother’s cage, she fussed over her sons first. Tests conducted on the parts of the brain known to be associated with vocalcalls showed the male pups have up to twice as much Foxp2 protein as the females. The researchers then increased the production in the brains of female pups and reduced it in males. This led to the female rats crying out more often and their mothers showing more interest to them. In contrast, males became less “talkative”.The researchers then tested samples from ten children, aged between three and five, which showed that females had up to 30 per cent more of the Foxp2 protein than males, in a brain area key to language in humans.“Based on our observations, we assume higher levels of Foxp2 in girls and higher levels of Foxp2 in male rats is an indication that Foxp2 protein levels are associated with the more municative sex,” said Prof McCarthy."Our results imply Foxp2 as a ponent of the neurobiological basis of sex differences in vocal munication in mammals."74. From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.A. women always speak more words than menB. men and male rats have low levels of language proteinC. women and male rats have similar levels of Foxp2D. McCarthy isn’t the first to find females more talkative75. The underlined phrase “fussed over” in the third paragraph probably means______.A. paid attention toB. related toC. put pressure onD. counted on76. The researchers carried out the experiments on rats in order to _______.A. test which part of the brain is key to language in rats and humansB. prove the levels of Foxp2 protein in humans and rats are differentC. determine the reason why female rats are more talkative than male ratsD. discover the association between Foxp2protein and vocal munication77. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Tests on humans and ratsB. Why women arethe talkative sexC. Sex differences in Foxp2 proteinD. Foxp2protein determines oral abilitySection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they' 11 change America. Rightly so. But selfishly. I' m more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the world' s attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see.Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined. The prevailing theory seems to be that we' re all hot-tempered single mothers who can' t keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can' t escape the stereotype of being eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic (酗酒的) mothers.These images have helped define the way all black women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets thechance to commit to a cause, charity or foundation as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simple to be herself.It won't be easy. Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African-American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis. For better or worse, Michelle will represent us all.Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. Many African-American blogs have written about what they' d like to see Michelle bring to the White House——mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyone——an impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise (沉着). Confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image that' s been around for far too long. (No more than 10 words)78. Why dose Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination for the author?79. What is the common stereotype of African-American womenaccording to the author?80. What does the author say about Michelle Obama as a First Lady?81. What do many African-American women hope Michelle Obama will do?第II卷 (共45分)I.

AIn the town of Whitesburg, Kentucky, Mick Polly is known as the bike man. Over the past five years, Mick has built hundreds of bicycles for needy kids.One day in 2011, a 13-year-old boy with a broken bike walked by Mick's house. "I was working in my garage, and he asked if I could fix it." says Mick, now 53. The boy left his bike with Mick, who asked friends on Facebook if they had the missing part. The town's former police chief saw the post and donated two used bicycles. Mick took parts from each to engineer a new set of wheels for the boy.Soon after, Mick repaired a bike for the boy's brother and assembled one for his sister. Word spread, andwithin the year,he had fixed up dozens of bikes for local kids whose parents couldn't afford to buy new ones."The people in this town don't have much, but they'll do anything for the children." says Mick Polly. He stores the bikes and bike parts in his garage. "I take off the good tires or the handlebars or the seat and use them."To date, the bike man has repaired hundreds of cycles and given away nearly 700 newly constructed bikes. They're free,but the kids must agree to two things: They've got to "mind whoever's raising them." and they've got to try in school.If a kid's grades are low, Mick requires a teacher's note "saying that you're doing your best." Mick says.Mick also hopes the bikes will get kids off the couch(沙发). "When I was growing up, we all rode our bikes," he says. "Hopefully these kids can get some exercise."21. How did Mick build his bikes?A. With the designs from Facebook.B. With the parts bought from others.C. With the broken parts collected from other garages.D. With the good parts of the used bikes donated by others.22. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "assembled" in the Paragraph 4?A. Built.B. Sold.C. Donated.D. Stored.23. Which of the following can describe Mick Polly best?A. Skillful.B. Popular.C. CaringD. Enthusiastic.BConsider the tomato: easy to grow, healthy to eat, tasty in just about anyrecipe and pleasant to look at. And come late summer, in steady supply. Thoughyou can find it during the coldest winter months, August is the tomato's season toshine. Farmers' markets and grocery stores are bursting with lesser-known butarguably tastier varieties, including purple cherries and big heirlooms."Heirlooms ripened on the vine(藤) are the tastiest of all tomatoes," saysAmy Goldman Fowler, author of The Heirloom Tomato. "I think their beauty ismore than skin-deep." Heirloom seeds have been around for at least 50 years,often passed down from generation to generation. You may hear cherry or heirloom used to describe a tomato at hand, but there are many different kinds of tomatoes, and growers have fun giving catchy names to varieties: Mortgage Lifters, Beefsteaks, Oxhearts, Early Girls.And all of them come with health benefits. Tomatoes are a good source of the antioxidant lycopene (抗氧化番茄红素), which is thought to help lower a person's risk for heart problems and cancer. Tomatoes also contain healthy vitamins(维生素) A and C. For the best fruit (they're fruits, not vegetables), choose tomatoes with shiny, firm skin and a little give, and store them at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Keep them out of the fridge, since cold temperatures can affect the original taste."They satisfy something more than just taste," says Fowler. "Tomatoes feed your soul."24. In which season do tomatoes sell best?A. Spring.B. Summer.C. Autumn.D. Winter.25. What can you learn from the passage?A. Tomatoes are healthy vegetables.B. Direct sunlight helps to store tomatoes.C. Tomatoes go bad more quickly in the fridge.D. Heirlooms are tastier than the other tomatoes.26. Why do tomatoes benefit people?A. They can produce antioxidant lycopene.B. They may prevent some diseases.C. They can be used as medicine.D. They may make people's skin shiny.27. What does Amy Goldman Fowler think of tomatoes?A. They will survive in cold winter months.B. They are less known than other foods.C. They taste best but look ugly.D. They also make us pleasant.COnce upon a time, a little girl worked at her desk in the purple bedroom of her childhood home in Lyndhurst, Ohio. The girl’s homework assignment was to write a “true story.”So absorbed was the girl — changing words to enhance(增强) the mood, erasing passages to move the story along, reading out loud to perfect the rhythm — that she jumped when she felt her father’s hand on her shoulder. He liked to relax and watch TV at night. It was not his habit to check in on her.“Daddy?” she said, looking up at him. “I think I just decided what kind of job I want when I grow up. I like to wr ite about things that really happen. I like to move the words around.”“I’m glad to see you take your schoolwork so seriously,” he said. “I’m proud of you.” And he kissed the topof her head.Decades later, that girl is offered a top job at Reader’s Digest. As she walks out of the office that afternoon, she remembers the night in her purple bedroom and decides that for every issue, she will write her editor’s note as a story. That way, she will honor the tradition of the magazine and honor her younger self. She texts her mom with the news of her job. “Oh, honey, I wish your father were alive,” her mom writes. “He would be so proud.”Starting in months that follow, look for my new column. As I step aside as your editor-in-chief, I slide happily into the role of editor-at-large, where I will still do the work I love, writing about people of interest doing things that matter, working with words. It’s be en a privilege to connect with the thousands of you who have reached out to me.28. What do we know about the author’s girlhood?A. She was perfect at writing stories.B.

The Girl who Got to be an Editor.DIn London's art gallery six or seven men, mostly in their 30s, are busy painting the walls with new designs in colorful lettering and clever tricks. Tins of spray paint and beer stand on the ground. The atmosphere is not unlike that of a golf course: a mix of concentration and relaxation.Graffiti(涂鸦) painting is traditionally a daring hobby. Teenagers avoid security guards to put their names on trains and buses. But over the past decade that has almost disappeared from Britain's cities. Between 2007 and 2012 the number of incidents of graffiti recorded by the British Transport Police fell by 63%. A survey by the environment ministry shows that fewer places are damaged by tags(绘名) than ever. Graffiti are increasingly limited to only a few walls. In time the practice may die out entirely.The most obvious reason for the decline in tagging and train-painting is better policing, says Keegan Webb, who runs The London Vandal, a graffiti blog (博客). Numerous cameras mean it is harder to get away with painting illegally. And punishments are more severe. A generational change is apparent, too. Now teenagers prefer to play with iPads and video games. Those who do get involved tend to prefer street art to graffiti. And the internet helps painters win far more attention by posting pictures online than they can by breaking into a railway yard.Taggers and graffiti artists mostly grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. Those men are now older and less willing to take risks. "We can't run away from the police any more," says Ben Eine, who turned from tagging to street art. The hip-hop culture that inspired graffiti in the first place has faded. Video games and comic books provide more inspiration than music.Graffiti may eventually disappear. But for now the hobby is almost respectable. Mr Eine says he has lots of friends who used to paint trains. Now with wives and children, they paint abandoned houses at the weekend. It has become something to do on a Sunday afternoon—a slightly healthier alternative to sitting watching the football.32.

Why is graffiti painting traditionally considered as a daring hobby?A. It takes much hard training.B. It's at the risk of being caught.C. It's dangerous to paint in trains.D.

Better policing of government.35. What conclusion can we draw from the fourth paragraph?A. Graffiti artists like to be the focuses in public.B. The early graffiti had something to do with music.C. Graffiti artists regret over what they did in the past.D. Painting is much healthier than watching football.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。
