Nearly two decades has passed, I still remember my favourite professor, James Sehwartz. Whenever he smiles, it’s as if you’d just been told the funniest joke on earth. Almost all his students are his friends, and almost all his students know his life story.
When James was a teenager, his father36 him to a fur factory where he worked . This was during the Great Depression. The 37 was to get James a job.
James entered the factory, and immediately felt as if the 38 had closed in around him.
The room was dark and hot, the windows covered with dust, and the 39 were packed tightly together, running like trains. The fur hairs were flying, 40 a thickened air, and the workers, 41 the pieces of fur together, were bent over their needles 42 the boss marched up and down the rows, searching for them to go faster .James could hardly 43 . He stood next to his father, frozen with fear, hoping the boss wouldn’t 44 at him, too.
During lunch break, his father took James to the boss and pushed him in front of him, 45 if there was any work for his son. But 46 there was hardly enough 47 for the adult labours, for no one would give it up once he took a job.
Thus, for James, it was a 48 . He hated the place. He made a 49 that he kept to the end of his life: he would never do any work that brought 50 to someone else, and he would never allow himself to 51 money off the seat of others.
“What will you do?” his mother, Eva, would ask him.
“I don’t know,”he 52 say. He ruled out law, because he didn’t like 53 , and he ruled out medicine, because he couldn’t take the 54 of blood.
“What will you do?”
55 , my best professor I ever had became—he thought it was the job not to hurt anybody.

45. A. doubting B. asking C. questioning D. demanding
46. A. even B. still C. yet D. also
47. A. time B. office C. work D. occupation

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
A new research has uncovered that culture is a determining factor when interpreting facial emotions(情感). The study reveals that in cultures where emotional control is the standard, such as Japan, focus is placed on the eyes to interpret emotions. Whereas in cultures where emotion is openly expressed, such as the United States, the focus is on the mouth to interpret emotion.
“These findings go against the popular theory that th e facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally recognized,” said University of Alberta researcher Dr. Takahiko Masuda. “A person’s culture plays a very strong role in determining how they will read emotions and needs to be considered when interp reting facial expression.”
These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emoticons(情感符号), which are used to convey a writer’s emotions over email and text messaging. The Japanese emoticons for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn, while American emoticons vary with the direction of the mouth. In the United States the emoticons :) and :-) show a happy face, whereas the emoticons: (or : -( show a sad face. However, Japanese tend to use the symbol ( ‘ ‘ ) to indicate a happy face, and ( ;_; )to indicate a sad face.
“We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that a culture tends to mask its emotions. The Japanese would focus on a person’s eyes when determining emotion, as eyes tend to be quite subtle(微妙的),” said Masuda. “In the United States, where open emotion is quite common, it makes sense to focus on the mouth, which is the most expressive feature on a person’s face.”
56. The text mainly tells us that __________.
A. cultural differences are expressed in emotions
B. culture is the key to interpreting facial emotions
C. different emoticons are preferred in different cultures
D. people from different cultures express emotions differently
57. Which emoticon is used by Americans to show a happy face?
A. (;_;)
B. :-(
C. :-)
D. ( ‘ ‘ )
58. If a Japanese wants to detect whether a smile is true or false, he will probably_______.
A. read the whole face
B. focus on the mouth
C. judge by the voice
D. look into the eyes
59. People used to believe that _______.
A. some facial expressions of emotions were too complex to be recognized
B. people in the world interpreted basic emotions in different ways
C. people could only recognize the facial expressions of basic emotions
D. people all over the world understood basic emotions almost in the same way
B
When you go to St. Petersburg, the number of attractions can seem large. If you are short of time, or just want to make sure to hit the highlights, these are the top must-see sights in St. Petersburg.
1.The Hermitage Museum
The Hermitage Museum is one of the most important sights to see for any visitor to St. Petersburg. There are lots of different paintings by the old masters in the Hermitage. Prepare to come face-to-face with classic Western artists.

Peterhof is as beautiful as it is fun. You’ll be charged for admission, but go to Petethof when the fountains are working—during the day in the summer. They are shut off in winter evenings.

Are morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely made. In my early 20s, I rarely went to bed before midnight, and I would almost always get up late the next morning.
But after a while I couldn’t ignore the high relationship between success and rising early. On those rare occasions where I did get up early, I noticed that my productivity was almost always higher. So I set out to become a habitual early riser. But whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep. Eventually some sleep research showed me that I was using the wrong strategy.
The most common wrong strategy is this: You assume that if you’re going to get up earlier, you’d better go to bed earlier. It sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail.
There are two main schools(流派) of thought on sleep patterns. The first is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day. The second school says you should go to bed when you’re tired and get up when you naturally wake up. However, I have found both of them ar e wrong if you care about productivity. If you sleep at set hours, you’ll sometimes go to bed when you aren’t sleepy enough. You’re wasting time lying in bed awake and not being asleep.
If your sleep is based on what your body tells you, you’ll probably be sleeping more than you need. Also, your mornings may be less predictable if you’re getting up at different times.
The solution for me has been to combine both methods. I go to bed when I’m sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time. So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5 am), but I go to bed at different times every night — sometimes at 9:30pm, and other times at midnight. Most of the time I go to bed between 10-11 pm.
However, going to bed only when I’m sleepy, and getting up at a fi xed time every morning is my way. If you want to become an early riser, you can try your own.
64. According to the passage, the underlined phrase refers to ________.
A. people who stay up until the next morning
B. people who feel sleepy in the morning
C. people who get up early in the morning
D. people whose productivity is the highest in the morning
65. Why did the author want to become a habitual early riser?
A. Because he / she wanted to form the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
B. Because he / she wanted to see which of the two main schools of thought on sleep
patterns was right.
C. Because he / she had found that his / her productivity was higher when he / she got up
early.
D. Because he / she was told the high relationship between success and rising early.
66. The author experienced all the following EXCEPT ________.
A. asking scholars for advice on sleeping habits
B. getting up early occasionally
C. pressing off the alarm to go on sleeping
D. going to bed after midnight
67. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. how to have good sleep
B. how to become an early riser
C. wrong strategies for getting up early
D. main schools of thought on sleep patterns
D
Writing articles about films for The Front Page was my first proper job. Before then I had done bits of reviewing—novels for other newspapers, films for a magazine and anything I was asked to do for the radio. That was how I met Tom Seaton, the first arts editor of The Front Page, who had also written for television. He hired me, but Tom was not primarily a journalist, or he would certainly have been more careful in choosing his staff.
At first, his idea was that a team of critics should take care of the art forms that didn’t require specialized knowledge: books, TV, theatre, film and radio. There would be a weekly lunch at which we would make our choices from the artistic material that Tom had decided we should cover, though there would also be guests to make the atmosphere sociable.
It all felt like a bit of dream at that time: a new newspaper and I was one of the team. It seemed so unlikely that a paper could be introduced into a crowded market. It seemed just as likely that a millionaire wanted to help me personally, and was pretending to employ me. Such was my lack of self-confidence.
Tom’s original scheme for a team of critics for the arts never took off. It was a good idea, but we didn’t get together as planned and so everything was done by phone. It turned out, too, that the general public out there preferred to associate a reviewer with a single subject area, and so I chose film. Without Tom’s initial push, though, we would hardly have come up with the present arrangement, by which I write an extended weekly piece, usually on one film.
The space I am given allows me to broaden my argument—or forces me, in an uninteresting week, to make something out of nothing. But what is my role in the public arena?
I assume that people choose what films to go to on the basis of the stars, the publicity or the
director. So if a film review isn’t really a consumer guide, what is it? I certainly don’t feel I have a responsibility to be ‘right’ about a movie. Nor do I think there should be a certain number of ‘great’ and ‘bad’ films each year. All I have to do is put forward an argument. I’m no t a judge, and nor would I want to be.
68. What do we learn about Tom Seaton from the first paragraph?
A. He encouraged the writer to become a writer.
B. He met the writer when working for television.
C. He had worked in various areas of the media.
D. He prefers to employ people that he knows.
69. The weekly lunches were planned in order to ________.
A. help the writers get to know each other
B. distribute the work that had to be done
C. provide an informal information session
D. entertain important visitors from the arts
70. What does the author mean when he says that Tom’s plan never took off in Paragraph 4?
A. Tom’s plan was unpopular.
B. Tom’s plan wasted too much time.
C. Tom’s plan w asn’t planned properly.
D. Tom’s plan wasn’t put into practice.
71. Which of the following best describes what the writer says about his work?
A. He can freely express his opinion.
B. He prefers to write about films he likes.
C. His success varies from year to year.
D. He writes according to accepted rules.
E
Though “nanometer”(纳米) is now a fashionable term all over the world, few people know exactly what it is. It has become a new favorite of manufacturers and sellers in recent years. Many “high-tech” products bearing the name “nano” have entered the market, bringing more mysterious feeling to surprised consumers.
Nanometer is a very small length unit of measure, and is very small. One millimeter is 1000 micrometers, and one micrometer is 1000 nanometers. That is, one nanometer is one billionth of a meter. Nano materials are solid materials composed of particles(粒子) or crystallites(晶体) of less than 100 nanometer in size. Then, is a cup made of nano material really any different from an ordinary cup in function as far as how it works?
Are nano cups really so wonderful? A reporter went to the Institute of Nanomedicine, which is the first such institute of such a sort in the world and the only one in China, specializing in researching the investigation of the application of nano technology into medicine.
A water molecule(分子) is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. It can be changed only by special working skillfully of the atoms. The material making up the cup can
have nanometer particles . But it cannot change the chemical and physical properties of the water contained in it. The water in the cup is still water. When people drink it, it will produce no special effect on human body.
Professor Ji who worked in the Instiute of Nanomedicine told the reporter, so far, the investigation of nano materials is still limited in the laboratory. No commercial micro products can be produced yet. With the present level of science and technology, the time of everyday goods made of nanometer materials is still years away.
The products labeled with nano marks in the market now are only traditional products coated with a thin layer of nanometer material, which makes them more abrasion resistant(耐磨), much easier to be cleaned, or oil resisting or moth proof(防蛀).
Professor Ji explained that nano cup is a real cup. It can also be included in the list of nano products in a certain sense. But the nano cup has not changed its property and function as a cup. It is not a magical medicine for curing and health care.
72. Which of the following shows the right relationship?
A. nanometer＜micrometer＜millimeter＜meter
B. micrometer＜millimeter＜nanometer＜meter
C. nanometer＜millimeter＜micrometer＜meter
D. millimeter＜micrometer＜nanometer＜meter
73. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. real nano products are being produced by some companies
B. nano materials have been put into use in daily goods
C. the nano cup is very effective in curing and health care
D. real nano products haven’t become available for people
74. The underlined word “properties” in the fourth paragraph probably means ________.
A. possessions
B. reactions
C. qualities
D. symbols
75. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. High-tech Products
B. Nano Materials
C. High-teach Research
D. Nano Cups

Bored at school now? How do you think it will look in the future? Last week, about 600 teenagers in the U.S. imagined a future changed by technology in which their lessons are taught by robots and they learn about celebrities (名人)and alien(外星人)languages.
According to a survey published last week by the U.S. ,Internet service provider American Online(AOL), only one in 100 thinks that in the future they will walk from home to school; the
rest believe they will use jet packs, and hover boards(滑板) as everyday transport.
All the participants(参与者)of the survey are teenagers born into the Internet age. The study is to show how the first cyber (网络的)generation dream about a future life created by advanced technology.
Most believe there will still be schools to go to, but that technology will play an increasingly important role in learning. The 600 teens surveyed think there will still be teachers, but 37 percent imagine them to be robots. Some 24 percent believe that teachers will still be human but they will have inter-changeable microchips so that one person can teach all subjects.
More than one in two believe hover boarding will be popular, while one-third say that wearing rocket boots will be their favorite activity. Another third think jet packs will be popular. Nearly 30 percent think playing football and bike-riding will remain popular.
When it comes to the curriculum(课程), they think future generations will be learning about robot building(63 percent), alien languages(47 percent) celebrities(26 percent) and R’n’B music(22 percent).
Children will wear virtual(虚拟的)reality helmets(头盔) to bring lessons to life, say 40 percent, while over 20 percent believe they will not need lessons because microchips implanted(植入)in their head will send relevant information into the brain. Matt Whyman, adviser to the chief medical officer on youth issues of AOL, sa id: “ The kids seem very aware of the liberation qualities of technology.”

书面表达
As the College Entrance Examination is drawing near, the situation is getting worse and worse. From the picture, we can see that Li Ming is “studying hard”. There are many books for him to read and many papers for him to do. How poor he is! At the same time, all his families are also busy working for him.
Nowadays, many parents expect too much of their sons or daughters. They hope that their sons or daughters study hard in order to be admitted to an ideal college or a key university. It is for this reason that parents are strict with their children. However, they don’t realize what a great pressure they have put on their children. It is the great pressure that often gets their children very anxious.
So I hope parents provide a proper environment for their children. Only in this way will their children try their best and succeed at last.。
