第I卷第一部分：阅读理解第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AWhen your parents advi se you to “get an education” in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower（人力资源）for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully dropout in grade school.Get a college degree, if possible. With a B. A., you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master‟s degree, make sure it is an M.B.A., and the famous law of diminishing(逐渐减少的) returns begins to take effect.Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average salary for those truckers was $24000 while the full professors managed to earn just $23030.A doctorate is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a future which is not bright. There are more doctors unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.If you become a doctor in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or—worst of all—in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.Thousands of doctors are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater(闭塞) college that pays much less than the doorkeeper earns.You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.1. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who ______.A. will not be a disgrace to societyB. will become loyal citizensC. can take care of themselvesD. can meet the nation‟s demand as a sourc e of manpower2. Many doctors are out of job because ______.A. they are improperly educatedB. they are of little commercial value to their societyC. there are fewer jobs in high schoolsD. they prefer easier jobs that make more money3. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Bernard Shaw didn‟t finish high school, nor did Edison.B. One must think carefully before pursuing a master‟s degree.C. The higher your education level, the more money you will earn.D. If you are too well-educated, you‟ll be overeducated for society‟s demands.4. The writer sees education as ______.A. a means of providing job security and financial security and a means of meeting a country‟sdemands for technical workersB. a way to broaden one‟s horizonsC. more important than finding a jobD. an opportunity that everyone should haveBMy heart sank when the man at the immigration counter gestured to the back room. I was born and raised in America, and this was Miami, where I live, but they weren‟t quite ready to let me in yet.“Please wait in here, Ms. Abujaber,” the immigration officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, accompanied me. He was getting used to this. The same thing had happened recently in Canada when I‟d flown to Montreal to speak at a book e vent. That time they held me for 45 minutes. Today we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was shocked that I was being sent “in back” once again.The officer behind the counter called me up and said, “Miss, your name looks like the name of someone who‟s on our wanted list. We‟re going to have to check you out with Washington.”“How long will it take?”“Hard to say…a few minutes,” he said, “We‟ll call you when we‟re ready for you.” After an hour, Washington still hadn‟t decided an ything about me.“Isn‟t this computerized?” I asked at the counter, “Can‟t you just look me up?”“Just a few more minutes,” they assured me.After an hour and a half, I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I was supposed to meet that evening. A n officer rushed over. “No phones!” he said, “For all we know you could be callinga terrorist cell and giving them information.”“I‟m just a university professor,” I said. My voice came out in a squeak.“Of course you are. And we take people like you out of here in leg irons every day.”I put my phone away.My husband and I were getting hungry and tired. Whole families had been brought into the waiting room, and the place was packed with excitable children, exhausted parents, and even a flight attendant.I wanted to scream, to jump on a chair and shout: “I‟m an American citizen; a novelist; I probably teach English literature to your children.”After two hours in detention (扣押), I was approached by one of the officers. “You‟re free to go,” he said. No explanation or apologies. For a moment, neither of us moved. We were still in shock. Then we leaped to our feet.“Oh, one more thing,” he handed me a tattered photocopy with an address on it, “If you aren‟t happy with your treatment, you can write to this agency.”“Will they respond?” I asked.“I don‟t know—I don‟t know of anyone who‟s ever written to them before.” Then he added,” By the way, this will probably keep happeni ng each time you travel internationally.”“What can I do to keep it from happening again?”He smiled the empty smile we‟d seen all day, “Absolutely nothing.”After telling several friends about our ordeal, probably the most frequent advice I‟ve heard in response is to change my name. Twenty years ago, my own graduate school writing professor advised me to write under a pen name so that publishers wouldn‟t stick me in what he called “the ethnic ghetto”—a separate, secondary shelf in the bookstore. But a name is an integral part of anyone‟s personal and professional identity—just like the town you‟re born in and the place where you‟re raised.Like my father, I‟ll keep the name, but my airport experience has given me a whole new perspective on what diversity and tolerance are supposed to mean. I had no idea that being an American would ever be this hard.5. The author was held at the airport because ______.A. she and her husband returned from JamaicaB. her name was similar to a terrorist‟sC. she had been held in MontrealD. she had spoken at a book event6. She was not allowed to call her friends because ______.A. her identity hadn‟t been confirmed yetB. she had been held for only one hour and a halfC. there were other families in the waiting roomD. she couldn‟t use her own cell phone7. We learn from the passage that the author would ______ to prevent similar experience fromhappening again.A. write to the agencyB. change her nameC. avoid traveling abroadD. do nothing8. Her experiences indicate that there still exists ______ in the US.A. hatredB. discriminationC. toleranceD. diversityCA young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted. Youth however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow-capped mountain itself is a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the company of the elderly is like reading a thick book of good edition, which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it. As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.9. The underlined word in the first paragraph is closest to the word ______ in meaning.A. decorationB. clarificationC. movementD. identification10. It can be concluded from the text that ______.A. people should be packaged at all agesB. people should be packaged in a special wayC. elderly people also care about packagingD. proper packaging makes people attractive11. For the middle-aged, attractiveness ______ .A. hardly existsB. is the strongestC. comes from the insideD. comes from the appearance12. According to the author, if you want to keep in harmony with nature, you should ______.A. dye your hairB. make up at a young ageC. follow the ageing processD. give up fame and wealthD“Enough” with the multivitamins already. That‟s the message from experts behind three new studies that tackled an often debated question: Do daily multivitamins make you healthier?“We believe that the case is clo sed - supplementing(补充) the diet of well-nourished adults with (most) mineral or vitamin supplements has no clear benefit and might even be harmful,” concluded the authors of the editorial summarizing the new research papers. They urge consumers to not …waste‟ their money on multivitamins. “The …stop wasting your money‟ means that perhaps you‟re spending money on things that won‟t protect you long term,” editorial co-author, Dr. Edgar Miller said, “What will protect you is if you spend the money on fruits, vegetables, nuts, be ans, low fat dairy, and things like that. Exercising would probably be a better use of the money.”The strong message was based on a review of the findings from three studies that tracked multivitamins link to cancer protection, heart health, and brain and cognitive(认知的) measures. The first study looked at vitamin supplementation‟s role in preventing chronic(慢性的) disease. The next study looked at whether long-term use of multivitamins would have any effect on slowing cognitive decline. The third study looked specifically at multivitamins and minerals role in preventing heart attack. “The three studies found no difference in rates of chronic disease, heart attack and the need for hospitalization between vitamin-takers and placebo(安慰剂)-takers.” Dr. Edgar Miller stated.One expert agreed some nutrient-deficient people may still benefit from multivitamins. “There might be an argument to continue taking a multi(vitamin) to replace or supplement your not healthy diet,” Dr. Edgar Miller added. He also notes that vi tamins can benefit people with celiac disease and those who are pregnant.13. This text is likely to be selected from a book of .A. medicineB. educationC. foodD. business14. Which of the following is NOT Dr. Edgar Miller‟s opini on according to the passage?A. Vitamins should not be used for chronic disease prevention. Enough is enough.B. Having a balanced diet and exercising would probably be a better way to keep healthy.C. The three studies do not provide support for use of multivitamin supplements.D. Taking vitamins to replace or supplement your healthy diet is necessary.15. What can be inferred from the text?A. Vitamin supplements have proved harmful to the health of adults.B. Vitamin supplements are beneficial in certain conditions.C. Nowadays taking vitamin supplements is common to most people.D. Daily multivitamins will make you healthier.16. The author‟s purpose of writing the text is most likely to___________. .A. persuadeB. describeC. informD. instruct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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AShe is a cute, quiet girl. As a daughter, she has no secrets towards her mother, who is very pleased with her. But these days she has become not so open as before. She has diary that she keeps under lock and key. Her mother cannot help worrying about her: what if she falls in love, which is too early for a girl of her age. After all she is r eaching the “dangerous stage . These thoughts have caused trouble in the mother’s mind.One weekend the girl came to tell her mother that she was going to the cinema with her schoolmate and would return late. This was the first time her mother agreed, and she couldn’t help worrying because her daughter had never been away at night before. The mother waited till nine. She decided to go out to meet her daughter. Just at that time the noise of a car pulling up drew her to the window and there was her daughter, waving goodbye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat. When the girl came in, the mother was watching TV, just like nothing had happened. “Mum, I’m back. “Yeah. “Sorry to be late. Still sitting up? “Yes. Oh, that- Who’s that boy? The daughter was stunned for some time. “Ah. It’s my monitor. He gave me a lift on his way home. Mum I’m going to bed. “All right. Go to sleep early.Next morning when the mother went to the daughter’s room to do some cleaning, she found her diary left on the bed.

It was created in 1923 by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce, making it the first weekly news magazine in the US. Hadden was considered carefree, liked to tease Luce and saw TIME as important but also fun. That accounted for its heavy coverage of celebrities (including politicians), the entertainment industry, and pop culture—criticized as too light for serious news.It tells the news through people, and for many decades, the magazine’s cover depicted a single person. On Hadden’s death in 1929, Luce became the most important man at TIME and a major figure in the history of 20th-century media.TIME is also known for its signature red border, first introduced in 1927. It has only changed four times since then. The issue released shortly after the September 11 attacks on the United States featured a black border to symbolize mourni ng. However, this edition was a special “extra” edition published quickly for the breaking news of the event; the next regularly scheduled issue contained the red border. Additionally, the April 28, 2008 Earth Day issue, dedicated to environmental issues, contained a green border. The next change in border was in the September 19, 2011 issue, commemorating the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks with a metallic silver border. The most recent change (again with a silver border) was in the December 31, 2012 issue, noting Barack Obama’s selection as Man of the Year.TIME has a division magazine, TIME FOR KIDS (TFK), which is especially published for children and is mainly distributed in classrooms. TFK contains some national news, a “Cartoon of the Wee k”, and a variety of articles concerning popular culture that the younger U.S. citizens are interested in. All the stories in TFK are written by young reporters.In some advertising campaigns, the magazine has suggested that the letters TIME stand for “The International Magazine of Events”.( )5.TIME has a history of _______.A. about 50 yearsB. about 70 yearsC. about 90 yearsD. about 150 years( )6.Why did some people dislike TIME in the beginning?A. It had kept its cover the same since the 1920s.B. It didn’t have a serious tone for important events.C. It didn’t report important events quickly enough.D. Henry Luce was in charge of the magazine for too long.( )7.What do we know about TFK?A. It has young reporters writing articles.B. It has a division magazine called TIME.C. It is designed for kids and teachers.D. It mainly contains popular culture.COur world natural park is one of the most famous parks in the world.

Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends— they will remain silent, waiting to hearwhat you have to say. In the class, you must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease (not worried) but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.41. Usually, when you speak to the class, the class is____________.16．noisy B. quiet C. having a rest D. serious42. The situation in the class is _____than in your house.A.not very different fromB. sometimes the same asC. sometimes not different fromD. not the same as43. If you are having a conversation with an official, the most important thing for you is _________.A. to show your abilityB. to be very gentleC. to make sure that you can be heardD. to put the official at ease44. The main idea of the passage is _________.A.that we should not talk in different ways in different situations17．that we must speak loudly to make ourselves heard when stating our opinions in serious situations18．that we must keep silent at any time19．that we must talk with the class2.People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one stands for a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religiousservices(宗教仪式) to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves(墓). On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. These are days of fun and good feelings andmemories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries（面包房）, telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.45.Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A Parents bring up childrenB Parents give love and care to childrenC Parents educate children to be good persons.D Parents pass away before children grow up46.What do you know from the passage?A Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.B Fewer women worked outside the home in the pastC Not all the children respect their parentsD Fathers are not as important as mothers at home47.Which do you think is right about “carnation”?A It only has two kinds of color.B It is a special kind of clothes people wear on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.C It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D People can wear carnations only on the third Sunday in June.48.What do you think “florists” do?A They sell flowersB They made bread or pastryC They offer enough room for having family parties.D They sell special candy fo r Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.3.Advertisement★Share Flat.

Fashion is important to all of us. Now we are all wearing school uniforms(校服). When we go home, what do we do? We change into other clothes. If we are going out, we like to wear fashionable clothes. So my first object is this blouse. It looks beautiful, doesn’t it? It is the most expensive piece of clothing, and I love it. It cost over ＄600. You may say that it is too expensive, but luckily I can afford it. The more you spend, the better the quality is. So you see, fashion is quite important to me, I admire it.However, I’m not as fond of fashion as my elde r brother. Last summer, my parents took us both to London. They wanted to show us some famous sights. But my brother Gary did not appreciate the old buildings. He just wanted to spend all his time in the big shopping arcades(拱廊), searching for the coolest pair of trousers! For him, fashion was more important than culture. These are the trousers he bought. Were they worth the expensive of a trip to London to buy these? I don’t think so. I think it was a waste of time and money.We must, however, remember that fashion is a very big business. Changes in fashion can create or lose jobs. As an example, I have bought this blonde(淡黄色的) wig(假发) to show you. Do you like it? It belongs to one of my mother’s friends. She told me that in the 1960s, it was fashionable fo r western women to wear wigs. But a few years later fashions changed and women wore wigs much less often. Then the wig factories closed down and hundreds of workers lost their jobs.53. The passage may be ____.A. a story from a magazineB. a piece of news from a newspaperC. a report on the radioD. a speech to the classmates54. The author （作者）showed all these objects EXCEPT_____ in the passage.A. the blonde wigB. the expensive blouseC. the coolest trousersD. the school uniform55. What does the author （作者）want to tell us in last paragraph?A. Wigs were always popularB. People in the east once liked wearing blonde wigsC. Fashion is actually a businessD. Business often depends on the production of wigs.五、单词拼写单词拼写（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）61．S______ is the system by which some people are owned by others.62．Fifty years ago, mixed-race marriages were f________.63．The police a_____ Rosa Parks, a black woman who refused to give her seat to a white man..64．Do you know which big cities are at the same a______ as Rio de Janeiro?.65．There are many café, shops and restaurants on Copacabana’s main a________ .66．It is very relaxing to take a d______ in the pool in summer.67．There is a w______ belief among bioengineers that it will be one day be possible to create life under laboratory conditions. .68．It is easier for a physical wound to heal than a m______ one.69．Although Sam left school more than ten years ago, he still keeps in touch with his f_____ classmates . 70．Some people are g______ for money and some for power. .六、短文改错短文改错（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）此题要求改正所给短文中的错误.对标题号的每一行做出判断：如无错误，在该行右边的横线上划（√）；如有错误（每行只有一个错误），则按下列情况改正：此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉。

ACanadian short story writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Eighty-two-year-old Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112-year-old prize.Munro didn’t publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37 years old, but her stories have always been well-received. Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns.Even though she’s won Canada’s most famous literary award, the Giller Prize, twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the cherry on top of Munro’s car eer. “It brings this incredible recognition, both of her and her career, and of the dedication to the short story,” said one person.Along with the well-respected title comes 1.3 million dollars. Munro said everything was “so surprising and wonderful” and that she was “dazed by all the attention and affection that has been coming my way.”Munro knew she was in the running——she was named the second-most likely person to win this year’s prize, after Haruki Murakami (村上春树）of Japan——but she never thought that she would win.Munro’s win also represents the long way Canadian writers have come. “When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world. Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around the globe,” Munro said on Thursday.She is technically not the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but many like to think that she is. In 1976 Saul Bellow, who was born in Quebec but moved to Chicago when he was still a child, won the prize. Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American writer.“This is a win for us all. Canadians, by our very nature, are not very nationalistic,” said Geoffrey Taylor. “But things like this suddenly ma ke you want to find a flag.”She wasn’t sure if she would keep writing if she won the prize, saying that it would be “nice to go out with a bang. But this may change my mind.”( ) 1. What is the feature of Munro’s stories?A. They have their own complicated (复杂的)contents.B. They have similar story backgrounds.C. They have specific themes for children.D. They have the same characters in each book.( ) 2. For Munro, the Nobel Prize is an award for______.A. her love for Canadian cultureB. her devotion to the short storyC. her special form of writingD. her career of editing short stories ( ) 3. What is implied in the sixth paragraph?A. Canadian writers paid little attention to the prize.B. Canadian writers are just a small community.C. Canadian writers have long been ignored.D. Canadians have a long way to win the prize.( ) 4. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. How Alice Munro wins the Nobel PrizeB. An introduction to the Nobel Prize in LiteratureC. Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize in LiteratureD. A world famous writer, Alice MunroBA dense wave of smog began in the Chinese city of Harbin and the surrounding Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning Provinces on 20 October 2013. Unseasonably warm temperatures with very little wind across northeastern China coincided with the smoke from local farmers’ burning straws and the start-up of Harbin’s coal-powered central heating system.Record densities of fine particulates(微粒)were measured in the city. In Harbin, the levels of PM2.5 (particulate matter) rise to 1,000 micrograms per cubic meter, worse than Beijing’s historic highs. Visibility was reduced to below 50m in parts of Harbin, and below 500m in most of the neighbouring Jilin Province. On Fa Yuen Street in Harbin, visibility of less than 5m was reported. The smog reduced after October 23, 2013 and completely broke up on October 28, 2013 by the first local snow and icy rain due to a cold front moving in from Russia.Harbin lies in the north of China where winter temperatures can drop to -40℃, demanding a six-month heating season. Daily particulate levels of more than 40 times the World Health Organization recommended maximum level were reported in parts of Harbin. The smog remained till 23 October, when almost all monitoring stations in Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning Provinces reported readings above 200μg/m³forPM2.5. PM2.5 is the amount of particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter in the air, with the WHO recommending a maximum 24-hour mean (平均值) of 25 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m³). On the morning of 25 October, PM2.5 measurements in Harbin had fallen to an average of 123μg/m³.All highways in the surrounding Heilongjiang Province were closed. In Harbin, all primary and middle schools were closed for three days and authorities stopped flights at the airports. Hospitals reported a 23 percent increase in admissions for breathing problems. However, this smog will have no influence on Harbin Ice Festival events later in December 2013.Air pollution in Chinese cities is of increasing concern to China’s leadership. Particulates in the air can affect human health and also have influences on climate and rainfall. Pollution from the burning of coal has reduced life expectancy by 5.5 years in the north of China, as a result of heart and lung diseases.( ) 5. One cause of the heavy smog in the northeastern Chinese cities may be _____.A. the lasting cold weatherB. farmers’ burning of forestsC. too much strong windD. the start-up of heating system ( ) 6. One serious influence of the heavy smog was that_____.A. Harbin Ice Festival would be cancelledB. highways in Heilongjiang were free of chargeC. all flights at the airport were cancelledD. doctors in hospitals were kept from working( ) 7. The harmful smog was most serious on ______.A. October 20B. October 23C. October 25D. October 28 ( ) 8. What measure might be practical to reduce the happening of heavy smog?A. Forbidding people to own their private cars.B. Advocating people having one meal a day.C. Using natural gas to cook instead of coal.D. Encouraging family’s coal-fired heating.CSex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology(意识形态)that biology is destiny. According to this ideology, basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes. These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life. Women are the weaker sex both physically and emotionally. Thus, they are naturally suited, much more so than men, to the performance of domestic(家庭的) duties. A woman’s place,under normal circumstances, is within the protective environment of the home. Nature has determined that women play caretaker roles, such as wife and mother and homemaker. On the other hand, men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics, where serious responsibilities must be taken on. Men are to be the providers; women and children ar e “dependents”.The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex. It is appropriate for women, not men, to be employed as nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers, house-hold helpers, clerks and secretaries. These positions are simply an extension of women’s domestic role. Informal distinctions between “women’s work”and “men’s work”in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes.Finally, the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way. For the human species to survive over time, its members must regularly reproduce. Thus, women must, whether at home or in the labor force, make the most of their physical appearances.So goes the ideology. It is, of course, not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex-defined roles in social life. There is enough evidence that sex roles vary from society to society, and those role differences that do exist are largely learned.But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society, sex-defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.( ) 9. According to the biology-is-destiny ideology, women_______.A. cannot compete with men in any fieldB. are suited more to domestic jobs than menC. are sensitive enough to be a good caretakerD. are too weak to do any agricultural work at all( )10. Those who have prejudices against women think that_______.A. women shouldn’t go out for workB. women should earn money to add the family incomeC. women going out for work should only do “women’s work”D. women should take jobs to drill the special capabilities of the sex( ) 11.The author thinks that the positions women hold outside_______.A. are determined by what they are better suited toB. grow out of their household responsibilitiesC. represent their breakthrough of sex discriminationD. are physically and emotionally suitable to them( ) 12.What does the underlined sentence imply?A. Sex roles are socially determinedB. Sex roles are emotionally and physically determinedC. Sex roles are biologically and psychologically determinedD. Sex roles are determined by education people takeDTickets for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil have gone on sale, with fans able to apply on FIFA’s website. FIFA is expecting a similar demand to that in Germany 2006, when there were about seven applicants for every ticket of the 64 matches. And now around 3.3 million tickets will be available for the matches in 2014.Tickets will range in price from ￡58 for first-round matches to ￡632 for the final at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Brazilian citizens over 60, local students and members of some social programs can purchase tickets for ￡15.The Price of Football - World Cup 2014Items Prices Items Prices Ticket ￡58-￡112 Final ticket ￡281-￡632Sun cream ￡9.50 T-shirt ￡13McDonald’s meal￡11 Water ￡1.28Imported beer ￡3.83 Domestic beer ￡1.91Coffee ￡2.55 Average dinner ￡29“It’s always difficult to predict,” said FIFA marketing director Thierry Weil. “But I truly believe that it will be more similar to what happened in Germany than in South Africa in 2010.”According to FIFA, the 2006 World Cup was attended by more than 3.3 million fans. Almost two million tickets were sold to the general public in South Africa, although the number of applications during the first ticketing phase was significantly lower.All applications made before 10th October 2013 will enter a random selection draw if there are not enough tickets available to fulfill all requests. The sales of the leftover tickets will begin on 5th November on a first-come, first-served basis. Another phase will begin on 8th December after the draw is made. The tournament begins on 12th June, with Brazil playing the opener in Sao Paulo.A study on the price of World Cup 2014 looked at the ticket prices and the cost of travelling to Brazil and found that our English fans face hotel costs of between ￡46 and ￡797 a night, while packages range from ￡2,999 to ￡14,999.( ) 13. How much should a Brazilian student pay for the opening match?A.￡15B.￡58C.￡112D.￡632( ) 14. From the passage we know that Thierry Weil_______.A. feels proud of what they achieved in South Africa 2010B. feels worried about the sales of the tickets for Brazil 2014C. holds the belief that Brazil 2014 will be the greatest world cupD. believes that more fans will attend Brazil 2014 than South Africa 2010 ( ) 15. What will FIFA do if there are not enough tickets available for requestsbefore Oct.10, 2013?A. They will sell the spare tickets to the applicants.B. They will sell on a first-come, first-served basis.C. They will choose the applicants based on a random selection draw.D.

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解It was just before 8 a.m. on October 17, 2010.She'd checked the higher summits forecast posted by the Mount Washington Observatory before she left. Based on her experience, Bales knew that her hike was realistic. Besides, she had two plans and extra layers of clothing to better regulate her temperature as conditions changed.At 10:30 a.m., the weather was showing its teeth. Bales added even more layers, including a jacket to protect herself from the cold winds and heavy fog. She made her way across the snow—covered ridge toward Mount Washington and began to think about calling it a day. Then she noticed something: a single set of footprints in the snow ahead of her. She'd been following faint tracks all day and hadn't given them much thought, because so many people climbed Jewell Trail. But these, she realized, had been made by a pair of sneakers. She silently scolded the absent hiker for breaking normal safety rules and walked on.Now she felt genuinely alarmed. She was sure the hiker could not navigate(找到方向)in the low visibility and was heading straight toward the challenging trails of the Great Gulf Wilderness. Bales stood there, shocked. The temperature and clouds were in a race to find their lowest point, and darkness was mere hours away. If Bales continued to follow the tracks, she'd add risk and time to the route she'd already adjusted to manage both. But she could not let this go. She turned to the left and called out, "Hello!" into the frozen fog.Bales wouldn't get an answer until a week later, when the president of her rescue group received a letter in the mail. It read: "I hope this reaches the right group of rescuers. I want to remain anonymous(匿名的), but I was called John. On Sunday, October 17, I went up my favorite trail, Jewell, to end my life. Weather was to be bad. Thought no one else would be there. I was dressed to go quickly. Next thing I knew this lady was talking to me, changing my clothes, giving me food, making me warmer."（1）What does the underlined sentence mean?A.The weather began to get worse.B.Nobody controlled the weather.C.Weather could never be predicted.D.Weather was generally changeable.（2）Why did Bales feel really frightened?A.Because she lost her way completely.B.Because the terrible weather was on the way.C.Because she was blinded by the frozen fog.D.Because she was convinced that someone was in trouble.（3）What is the purpose of John's hiking?A.To challenge his limit.B.To go up his favorite trail.C.To donate some money to rescue group.D.To kill himself without being discovered.【答案】（1）A（2）D（3）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，贝尔斯在天气恶劣时去登山，无意发现一串往危险区域行进的脚印，她知道有人陷入了困境。

As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and —WHUMP! —it hit the Jag’s shiny black side door! SCREECH...!!!! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!" Building up a head of steam, he went on. " That’s my new Jag, that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?""Please, mister, please....I’m sorry! I didn’t know what else to do!" begged the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop!" tears were streaming down the boy’s face as he pointed around the parked car. "It’s my brother, mister," he said. "He rolled of the curb (路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up. "Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman," Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.It was a long walk back to the black, shining 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE — a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent (凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention.

According to the passage, the last sentence means ________.A. trying to get ready for the trouble in your future lifeB. driving fast in a neighborhood street is dangerousC. trying to be more understanding seeing others in troubleD. protecting oneself from being hurtB“Children who eat less salt and drink fewer sugar-sweetened soft drinks may significantly lower their risks of obesity,” researchers recently reported in the journal Hypertension.“Sugar-sweetened soft drinks are a significant source of calorie intake in children,” said Feng J. He, a researcher at St George’s University o f London, England. “It has been shown that sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption is related to obesity in young people.” They wanted to know whether there is a link between salt intake and sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption.Dr He and colleagues analyzed data from a 1997 national survey of more than 2,000 people between 4 and 18 in Britain. “We found that children eating a lower-salt diet drank less fluid,” said He. “From our research, we estimated that 1 gram of salt cut from their daily diet would reduce fluid intake by 100 grams per day.”The researchers also found that children eating a lower-salt diet drank fewer sugar-sweetened soft drinks. From their research, they predicted that reducing salt intake by 1 gram each day would reduce sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption by 27 grams pe r day, after. “If children aged 4 to 18 cut their salt intake by half,there would be a decrease of about two sugar-sweetened soft drinks per week per child, so each child would decrease calorie intake by almost 250 kilocalories per week,” Dr He said.In previous studies, researchers found that a low-salt diet lowers blood pressure in children, and prevents the development of high blood pressure later in life. “Both high blood pressure and obesity increase the risk of having strokes and heart attacks,” Dr He said.Dr He recommends that parents check labels and choose low-salt food products. “Small reductions in the salt content of 10 to 20 percent cannot be detected by the human salt taste receptors (感受器) and do not cause any technological or safety problems,” Dr He said.40. According to the passage, obesity is directly linked to ______.A. high-salt foodsB. sugar-sweetened soft drinksC. high blood pressureD. strokes and heart attacks41. Compared with previous studies, the recent one found that ______.A. a lower-salt diet may mean less sugar-sweetened soft drink consumptionB. a low-salt diet keeps children out of high blood pressureC. children face the risk of having strokes and heart attacksD. low-salt food products do no t do harm to people’s health42. Which of the following statements would Dr He agree to?A. The less salt people eat, the healthier people become.B. Children should reduce fluid intake in their daily life.C. No high-salt food products will be available in shops.D. A low-salt diet may prevent both high blood pressure and obesity.43. After reading the passage, who should take effective action?A. Children.B. Parents.C. Doctors.D. Researchers.CThe small number of newborn babies, which has been caused by high prices and the changing social situation of women, is one of the most serious problems in Asia.When people talk about it，you can hear a word invented in Japan，“DINKS”，which means Double Income No Kids(小孩).In many major Asian cities like Seoul，Singapore，and Tokyo，the cost of a houseis extremely high.A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $300,000(though prices have fallen).For a flat with one bedroom，onedining-room，a kitchen，and a bathroom，the couple will pay about $900 a month.What’s more，if they want to have a child，the child’s ed ucation is very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $5,000 a year.In such a situation，it’s difficult to afford children.The number of married women who want to continue working increases rapidly because they enjoy their jobs. However，if they want to have children，they immediately have serious problems. Though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby，they expect women with babies to give up their jobs.In short，if they want to bring up children properly，both parents have to work，but it is hard for mothers to work.Indeed，women who want to continue working haveto choose between having children or keeping their jobs.In a word，Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situationas soon as possible.44.What is the main problem being discussed in the passage?A.The small number of newborn babies.B.The changing social situation of women.C.The high prices of houses and education.D.The necessary steps of Asian governments.45.According to the passage，which of the following is true?A.It is easy for a couple to afford a child in Asia.B.The prices of houses in Asia are quite low now.C.Fewer and fewer married women want to have a job.D.The word“DINKS”first appeared i n an Asian country.46.To buy a flat and send a child to kindergarten，how much will a couple pay each year?A.$5,000.B.$5,900.C.$10,800.D.$15,800.47.The writer seems to believe that Asian governments should___.A.let women stay at home and have a babyB.allow only one of the parents to go out to workC.care for the growing needs of women for jobsD.punish the companies that permit women to leaveDWord PowerAuthor(s): Kaplan $13.95You’ll never be at a loss for words again.

ALong long ago, there was a king who liked to write stories. He was so proud of his stories that he showed them to many people. Although the people didn’t like the stories, they were afraid to say that. Instead, they all said his stories were good.One day he showed his stories to a well-known critic (评论家). The critic said that they were bad. The king got very angry and sent him into prison.After some time the king sent his men to the critic to tell him that he was free. When the critic returned from the prison, the king invited him to his palace to dinner. Again he showed him some of his stories and again asked him what he thought of them. The critic said nothing but turned to the soldi ers, who were standing behind him, and said, “Please take me back to prison.”36. People praised the king’s stories because _______.A. they hoped to get a lot of moneyB. they wanted to make the king happyC. the stories were indeed well writtenD. they knew nothing about story-writing37. By saying “Take me back to prison”，the critic meant that _______.A. the king’s stories were very badB. he had enjoyed the life in prisonC. he enjoyed reading stories in prisonD. he coul dn’t understand the stories38. We may conclude from the story that the critic _________.A. did not love his country at allB. was good at writing storiesC. would be set free by the kingD. was an honest and brave personBDid you know the meaning of a word may change over time? Many English words we know now had different meanings a long time ago. One example is the word “nice”.Around the year 1300, “nice” was first used in English to mean “stupid”. Two hundred years later, “nice” began to carry a “better” meaning. If people said a book was written “nicely”, they meant the book was written “clearly” or “carefully”，not “stupidly”. After 1800, “nice” began to take its meaning like “kind” or “friendly”. Since then，people have thoug ht of “nice” as a word with good meanings.A good change of a word’s meaning like this example of “nice” is called AMELIORATION. Though we don’t use nice to mean “stupid” any more, it is fun to know how much a word’s meaning can change from its start!For more examples of AMELIORATION，see next page.39. 1300 years ago, a “nice person” was believed to be ______.A. carefulB. friendlyC. stupidD. clever40.

However, he was also an actor, a singer, and an artist. As an artist, he was particularly good at paper cutting.Andersen had many reasons for making his paper cuttings, but the main one was to give pleasure. Andersen loved to tell his interesting stories to anyone who would listen. As he spoke, he would take out his scissors and make a wonderful paper cutting to help his words.He also found that his paper cuttings helped with a better communication between himself and others. Although a shy man, he still loved to tell his stories face to face with his listeners. His stories and paper cuttings helped him to communicate when he would have otherwise felt uncomfortable.The paper cuttings also became great gifts for friends and families. He would give his cuttings not only to children but also to grown-ups. When his writing became famous, these gifts were even more valued.Now more than 100 years old, many of Andersen’s fine paper cuttings still exist in a museum in Denmark devoted to his works. While Andersen will always be remembered for his fairy tales, his beautiful works of art also remain for all to enjoy.47.
