第一节
Good morning, everyone!
My name is Li Hua. It is a great honor to be here to share my views on how to protect the earth.
Nowadays, the environ mental problem has become a great concern. It’s high time we took action from now on and from us. Firstly, we should save energy as much as possible. What’s more, it’s a good idea to recycle and reuse resources. Lastly, we’d better travel by bus or by bike. In conclusion, since we have only one earth, let’s do what we can before it is too late!
That’s all. Thanks.
第二节
Para.1: I waited until it was dark. Silently and secretly, I slipped into the yard of the old lady. I looked around and there was nothing but silence. Holding my breath, I put the envelope into her mailbox without any hesitation. After that, I ran out of the old lady’s yard quickly being scared to be discovered. Lying on my bed, I had a good night. I even looked forward to tomorrow’s arrival.
Para 2: The next day, I handed the old lady her newspaper. She greeted me warmly as usual. However, she took out the envelope when I was about to leave. She told me she had read my note. She knew that it was me! I was so shocked that I stood like a ston e. Wearing a big smile, she said, “That was not a big deal, my dear. You have apologized for it, which has already ended the mistake.〞 She returned me the seven dollars and I was sure there was something shinning in her eyes. It was forgiveness.

Reading B
【语篇导读】本文主要介绍文化在社会中是如何进化的。

首先，作者提到了基因是如何传承下去的，然后，以此话题引出了文化是如何承下去的。

文化传承的途径很多，有人与人之间的口耳相传，也有利用现代网络等方式传播。

24. C【解析】词义猜测题。

根据第二段内容可知，画线词所在句应表示，进化生物学家理查德·道金斯在他写的《自私的基因》一书中创造性地使用“meme〞一词。

由此可推知，coin 应是“创造〞之意。

25. B【解析】细节理解题。

由文章第二段中的memes are units of cultural information --ideas and beliefs-- that "pass from brain to brain"可知，memes是文化信息中的诸多单元，可以在人与人之间传递。

26. A【解析】推理判断题。

由文章第四段中的“Within Internet culture, though, a successful idea can be shared among millions of people within a few hours."可知，在网络文化中，一个成功的想法可以在几个小时内被几百万人分享。

所以，利用网络传播文化更快、更广泛。

27.C【解析】主旨大意题。

由文章最后一段的内容可知，本段主要从不同角度分析了不同的文化观念能够成功传承下去的原因。

Reading C
28. D细节理解题。

根据文章第二段that theobromine(可可碱〕, found in cocoa,was nearly
a third more effective in stopping coughs than codeine,说明他们认为theobromine 是一种有效的治疗咳嗽的方法。

故D正确。

29.C细节理解题。

根据文章第四段第三行capsaicin,which is used in research to cause coughing说明C正确。

30.B细节理解题。

根据第四段1,2行Ten healthy volunteers were given theobromine, codeine or placebo, a pill that contains no medicine, during the experiment.说明他们被分成三队，每一队都服用不同的东西。

故B正确。

31.A主旨大意题。

根据文章第一段说明本文主要是讲巧克力中发现的某种物质可以用来治愈咳嗽。

故A正确。

Reading D
【语篇导读】作者结合自己的经历介绍了老鼠在生物多样性方面的重要性。

32.D【解析】细节理解题。

根据第一段中的“In 1997,I went there with my mentor and another graduate student. Everyone thought I was crazy, and wondered why I would like to look for something that didn't exist. They wouldn't even give us permits."可知，1997年当作者一行人去加拉帕戈斯群岛的时候，每个人都认为作者疯掉了，好奇为么他去找一个不存在的东西。

这说明他们的行为不被他人理解。

33.D【解析】推理判断题。

根据第一段最后一句“When he looked into the metal trap-I will never forget his face-it looked like he had seen a ghost."可知，当作者的导师往金属陷阱里看的时候，他就像看见了鬼一样。

根据语境可推知，作者的导师看见了老鼠，
而他根本没有想到这里会有老鼠，所以他应该非常震惊。

应当选D项
34.B【解析】推理判断题。

根据第二段中的“I certainly underst and the argument : ' Who cares about an extinct rat ? ' But you have no idea what role the rat plays in that functioning ecosystem."可知，人们根本不知道老鼠在生态系统中的重要性。

然后文章提到了人们非常喜欢熊猫，只是因为熊猫很好看。

然而在对于生态系统的重要性方面，熊猫远不如老鼠。

所以作者提到熊猫是为了指出研究老鼠的重要性。

应当选B项。

35.A【解析】推理判断题。

根据最后一段中的“I teach Conservation Biology and Evolution . In the process I have to appeal to people asking ' Why is this important to me ? ' Some scientists refuse to do that. That's my entire approach."与"Climate change is suddenly very bersonal,and now they want to hear what you are saying."可知，作者让学生们知道生物学与日常生活息息相关，这让他们能在课上集中精神听讲。

应当选A 项。

七选五
【语篇导读】每个人在日常生活中都会时不时地作出各种决定。

如何作出正确的决定呢？本文给读者提供了一些有效的方法：不要期望太多，不要考虑太久，不要拖延太久，不要对自己太严苛。

36.F【解析】根据设空前一句“Unfortunately, people often find it hard to make decisions."可知，人们发现作决定总是很难。

再根据设空后一句“If you would like to improve your skill of decision-making, here are four suggestions for you."可知，本文将给出四条可以帮助改善作决定的技能的建议。

由此可知，本空应为过渡句“作出好的决定的技能是很重要的〞。

应当选F项。

37. G【解析】根据“Don't expect to have it all.〞与下文内容可知，做任何事都是要有取舍的，不要期望拥有所有，即作决定就是迫使我们放弃其他可能性。

应当选G项。

38.A 【解析】根据下文中的“It's often good to think through your decisions. But don't overdo it."和"Many good decisions can be made based as much on intuition as on careful assessment of endless data."可知，考虑决定是好的，但是不要太过，很多明智的决定是基于直觉作出的，即不要花太多时间在考虑上。

应当选A项。

39.D【解析】根据该段首句中的put off making a decision和设空前后的两个句子可知，设空处和前后句并列，是推迟作决定的情况列举。

D项符合语境。

应当选D项。

40.E【解析】根据“Don't be hard on yourself.〞可知，不要对自己太严苛。

再根据设空后句“But please remember it is unavoidable sometimes."可知，这有时是防止不了的。

设空处与下文是转折关系，由此推知，你可能后悔作出这样愚蠢的决定。

应当选E项。

完形填空

Where can you look if you want to know how tall the tallest person in the world is, or who the oldest person in the world is? There is only one place where you’ll find all these information, and that’s in the Guinness Book of World Records. This morning we have someone from the Guinness Company that produced that famous book,
Thomas Manning. “Welcome to the program, Thomas!〞“Thanks, Sue. It’s a pleasure to be here.〞“Perhaps you could start by telling us where the idea for the book came from.〞“Well, it was first sugg ested in the early 1950s. Sir Hugh Beaver, the managing director of Guinness, was out shooting birds with some friends. A bird flew away so quickly that no one was able to shoot it. Sir Hugh wondered whether this bird was the fastest bird in Europe, and if it wasn’t the fastest, he wondered what was.〞“So I suppose he went to the nearest library to look for the information and he couldn’t find it?〞“Yes, that’s exactly what happened. And this made Sir Hugh think there must be other people in the same situation who wanted this kind of information. He thought that, like himself, people would be interested in finding facts of all records to satisfy their curiosity.〞“So the idea for a book of records was born. And when did the first book come out?〞“A few years later, in 1955. So, to ask your first question: the tallest person in the world is 231.7cm tall. And the oldest person is Jeanne. L. Calment, who was born in February, 1875.〞“There are also some rather strange records, aren’t there, Thomas?〞“Yes, that’s right. Did you know, Sue, that the shortest time it is taken …〞。
