III. 完形填空（共20 小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）The day for the great balloon competition finally arrived. Every insect in the garden had been 31 hard，and now they were preparing to begin their routines. The balloon competitions were always something really special。

Each time, the flying insects were favourite 32 to win, because they could seize the balloon strings and fly off in all directions, creating all sorts of 33 in the air。

34 , on this occasion there were some rather unusual insects taking part: a group of ants. Of course, 35 expected that they could do anything special. They were so light that no ant had ever 36 to take part，but it was quite impressive to see all the
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
ants all 37 organized and prepared。

So the competition began, and the 38 insects took their turns，performing beautiful movements with the balloons。

As always, the butterflies left everyone 39 with their twist and turns, and their wonderful colours。

When it was time for the ants to perform，it seemed like the competition had already been decided。

For the 40 time in living memory，the ants shared just one balloon between them, and one by one they climbed up the balloon string，41 a thin black thread of ants. When all the string was covered, the last ant climbed 42 his teammates to reach the balloon. 43 he got there，he climbed onto the top of the balloon.
This strange 44 attracted everyone's curiosity，and they were just about to witness the most important 45 : the ant opened his jaws as wide as he could. 。

. and then he made a violent movement at the balloon with all his strength!
The result was powerful！The balloon began blowing out its air，flying 46 about，here and there，doing a thousand turns and spins, while the ants made all kinds of beautiful shapes out of the string. Of course, that acrobatic（杂技般的) flight 47 with quite a hard landing, but it didn't 48 。

The creativity and teamwork of the ant performance was so 49 that the crowd didn’t even have to vote for there to be a winner.
From then on，in that garden, everyone understood how much could be achieved by working 50 . In the years to come, the balloon competitions were full of displays carried out by teams, and they put on some wonderful routines；something those individual insects could never have achieved on their own。

Ⅳ.阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)
A
The freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine"。

I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C，thinking of beaches and orange trees。

When we touched down to blue skies and warm air，I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness。

Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets （at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend，but the best part— particularly to my taste，dulled by months of cold- weather root vegetables- was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wake—up call。

The market，which was founded in 1979，sets up its tents every Saturday from 7：00 am to 1 p。

m，rain or shine，along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries，the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck；and most of all, the tomatoes：amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes。

Disappointed by many a broken，vine-ripened（蔓上成熟的) promise，I've refused to buy winter tomatoes for years。

No matter how attractive they look in the store，once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry, hard，and tasteless。

But I homed in, with uncertainty，on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal— and at that moment，I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.
Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown's Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty，a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where—luckily for me— I was planning to have dinner that very night。

Without even seeing the menu, I knew I'd be ordering every tomato on it.
51。

What did the author think of her winter life in New York?
A. Exciting。

B. Boring。

C。

Relaxing. D. Annoying。

52. What made the author's getting up early worthwhile?
A。

Having a swim。

B. Breathing in fresh air。

C. Walking in the morning sun. D。

Visiting a local farmer’s market。

53。

What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter? A。

They are soft。

B. They look nice。

C. They taste great。

D. They are juicy.
54。

What was the author going to that evening?
A. Go to a farm。

B. Check into a hotel。

C. Eat in a restaurant. D。

Buy fresh vegetables.
B
Salvador Dali (1904-1989）was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures，drawings and more。

Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly，the Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938，works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.
The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth。

The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.
The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities （无限）. “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras," explains the Pompidou Centre。

The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid，Spain, and with
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg。

55。

A. Optimistic. B。

Productive C。

Generous.
D。

Traditional。

56. What is Dali's The Persistence of Memory considered to be？
A. One of his masterworks。

B. A successful screen adaptation.
C. An artistic creation for the stage。

D。

One of the beat TV programmes.
57. How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?
A。

By popularity. B。

By importance.
C. By size and shape。

D。

By time and subject.
58. What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Donations。

B. Projects.
C. Artworks.
D. Documents。

C
Because I will be away for a few days after Spring Break, I am writing this during the actual holiday, when I can use time to catch up on a number of purely administrative （管理的）items。

First of all，you should have received the letter I sent out on April 2 advising of the transition (过渡）arrangements to new leadership at ISM （International School of Moscow）。

In that letter I pointed out that Dr。

Paul Malone will be arriving in Moscow on Monday，May 4th，and that I will work with him during that week to ensure smooth transition。

My last day at ISM will be Friday, May 8th。

Several people have asked me why I required Dr. Malone to come early. There are many problems facing ISM at the moment which have major implications (影响) for the future, and it makes sense for the new director to come aboard before the end of the school year。

This will give him the chance to play a major role in the planning process for 2014—2015 and beyond。

The fact that Paul Malone is able to arrive in early May is good for the school。

I have been working closely with him, and will do everything possible to see that he can move in easily when I leave。

From here I will go to Hong Kong for a couple of weeks to spend time in my new situation, and then I will return to the United States for a few weeks' vacation.
In the most recent edition of the Compass(a kind of paper of ISM）, I wrote briefly what I consider to be the major challenge for ISM in the future. I am sure that the new leadership of the school will be able to face those challenges in an active manner, which will ensure a strong future for the school。

I shall certainly watch the progress of the school with interest. The results of the school for the past few years have been quite
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
outstanding, and I fully expect that level of performance to continue.
59. We can infer from the text that the writer was the ________ of ISM。

A. director
B. employee C。

teacher D。

student
60. Why should Dr. Malone come to ISM early？
A。

To work closely with the author.
B. To do everything possible for the school.
C。

To move in easily when the author returns。

D。

To work with the author for a few days and make a future plan. V. 七选五填空(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。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

（温馨提示：请将答案写在答题卷）
We all face quantities of stresses in day—to—day living, whether at work, in the home，or anywhere in between. 61 Here's how stress can help us on an everyday basis.
◆ Sharpen your memory。

Did you ever notice that sometimes when you are stressed, your memory seems to improve？Remember that test you passed where the answers seemed to come out of nowhere? 62 It's because of stress hormones（荷尔蒙）that increase your alertness（机敏) when it’s most needed。

◆ 63
Successful employees turn stress into motivation。

Have you ever noticed that you get the least amount of work done when you have the fewest deadlines？Too little stress can affect how much you actually get done. When you take risks and choose to get over the difficulty, it improves your mental toughness and self-confidence.
◆Helping you resist the attack of illness.
64 Believe it or not, the right kind of stress can help your body's defenses
against illness. When you get sick, stress causes you to make hormones that battle threats to your health. That burst of stress is helpful to your immune system when your body faces a threat.
◆Making your life more interesting.
Think about some stressful situations that we consciously put ourselves in to make life more interesting and enjoyable, like asking someone out on a first date，conquering a known fear, or learning something new. These may not immediately come to mind when you think of stress because of the positive outcomes. 65
A。

Helping you get an advantage at work.
B。

Helping you get through difficult times.
C. This will happen whenever you are stressed。

D。

That's one way your brain responds to stress.
E. You need a healthy immune system to help fight off diseases.
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
F. But they're the types that can help you achieve fulfillment and happiness.
G. But handled properly，stress can have many benefits for the body and mind。

You may like reading novels for fun。

But you need to get 1 (organize）if you are reading a novel for school. Here 2 (be）some tips.
First，pay attention to characters. What do they do in the novel？What do they want？Everything— 3 is about a character can help us to understand him，from his 4 （appear）to the kind of food he eats.

Dear Peter，
I’m writing to tell you something about e-hongbao，which is becoming popular in China.
E—hongbao is actually a kind of lucky money from and to relatives and friends during festivals or on special occasions。

For many young people,
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
grabbing e-hongbao on their mobile phones is a fairly common and exciting activity。

Unlike the tradition of elders giving lucky money to children, over half of the people sending e—hongbao are in their 20s. It’s just for fun or giving best wishes，while the sum of money matters little。

In a word, e-hongbao is bringing new color to the old tradition. Nevertheless, I'm concerned about the safety of on-line payment。

So rules and regulations need to be improved regarding the e-hongbao system to guarantee its operation.
Best wishes。

Yours
Li Hua。
