Yet despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition which she won last year.As a writer, I know about winning contests – and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection letter from the publisher. I also know the pressureof trying to live up to a reputation created by previous masters. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the strange thing about bein g a parent. So many of our own past scars and destroyed hopes can be embodied in our children.An inspiration came last week when I asked her, ―Don’t you want to win again?‖ ―No,‖ she replied, ―I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.‖I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she independently told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly ―guided‖ by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.31. Which of the statements will the author agree with?A. Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions.B. Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in.C. Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience.D. A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue.32. Which of the following word can replace the underlined wor d ―embodied‖ in paragraph 2?A. putB. expressedC. connectedD. included33. Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contest?A. She wanted to share her stories with readers.B. She was sure of winning with her moth er’s help.C. She believed she possessed real talent for writing.D. She had won a prize in the previous contest.34. The author took great pains to improve her daughter’s stories because _______.A. she wanted to help Rebecca realize her dreams of becoming a writerB. she was afraid Rebecca’s imagination might run wild while writingC. she did not want to disappoint Rebecca who needed her help so muchD. she believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidanceBSearching for airfares often seems like a game that passengers are bound to lose. Prices change from day to day, even minute to minute. Looking through multiple websites for the best deal can be a big challenge. Even when you do book, there’s no guarantee that you are going to get the best price.―You just don’t know when to pull the trigger. It’s not like buying anything else I can think of, ‖ said George Hobica, founder of .Harriet Levy paid $179 for a recent round-trip flight on American Airlines between New York and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Sitting just one row behind her, Shirley Harrison paid $215. A few rows back, Ellis and Dianne Traub paid $317 each. There were at least 12 fares on the flight, ranging from $169 to $360.There’s no reason for it, Harrison said.Fares can change significantly in just a few hours. One Delta flight from New York to LosAngeles jumped from $755 to $1,143 from a Friday to Saturday in late April, then fell to $718 on Sunday.The flight was one of a dozen the Associated Press followed over three months for a vacation between July 16 and 22. The number one finding: avoid booking tickets on weekends. It’s the most expensive time to buy.There’s no way to guarantee the best fare. But before booki ng, travelers should pay attention to this additional advice:• Book on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. That’s when airlines most often offer sales.• Buy in advance, but not too early. The best time is four to six weeks before traveling. In general, prices for any given flight are highest eight to 10 weeks and two to three weeks in advance.• Make use of social media. Airlines are giving more benefits like exclusive (独家) sales to travelers who interact with them on Twitter and Facebook. Those specials are often gone within hours.• The so-called discount airlines – JetBlue, Air-Tran, Southwest and Frontier – adjust their fares less frequently than other airlines, so you can feel more confident that the price will stay the same. But their prices aren’t always the lowest. Researching multiple airlines’ fares is the only way to get a good deal.35. What can we learn from the text?A. Passengers are unable to search for airfares.B. Airlines often play games with passengers.C. The earlier you book, the lower airfares you’ll pay.D. It’s difficult for passengers to get the best price.36. The underlined phrase ―pull the trigger‖ in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.A. start searchingB. get the highest priceC. make a purchaseD. get on board the plane37. By using a lot of figures in the example, the author intends to _______.A. show there is standard price for every single airlineB. discover the rules behind airfaresC. guarantee passengers a low priceD. prove airfares can vary widely38. Passengers are advised to book flights _______.A. in the middle of the weekB. on special websitesC. several months before travelingD. with airlines which are famous for offering discount pricesCHere’s this week’s list of four open jobs throughout the local area.

Experts say that to achieve better road safety, various and comprehensive methods are needed. Updating the rules are only part of the story.According to the WHO (World Health Organization), traffic accidents kill more people around the world than malaria and are the leading cause of death for young people aged 5 to 29 -- especially in developing countries. Each year up to 1.3 million people are killed and more than 50 million injured in traffic accidents around the world.The economic consequences are also significant: according to a study by the World Bank and Harvard University, traffic accidents on average cost a country 1 to 3 percent of its annual Gross National Product..The newly revised regulations impose much heavier punishment on drivers who violate traffic rules. Under the new regulations, 52 different violations result in penalties, up from 38 under the previous system.Eleven kinds of violations now result in the deduction of 12 points, compared to six points under the previous regulation. These violations include drunken driving and using fake license plates, as well as driving without a valid license.But traffic regulations are only one aspect of many regarding problems with road safety in China. Other components of road safety include technology and urban design.43. What is true according to the passage?A. Traffic accidents leads to very serious economic consequences.B. Malaria causes more deaths every year than traffic accidents.C. Running a yellow will result in a 6-point deduction.D. Most violators of the new traffic rules will end up in prison.44. The main reason of the new traffic regulations is _______A. to reduce economic loss.B. to limit the sale of alcohol.C. the requirement of the WHO.D. to make the road safer.45. Which violation will not lead to a deduction of 12 points?A. Drunken driving.B. Running a red light.C. Using fake license plates.D. Driving without a license.46. Which measure is not mentioned in the passage to improve road safety?A. A better design of the city.B. Proper application of advanced technology.C. More involvement of the government and organizations such as the WHO.D. Stricter traffic regulations.EThe works of Shakespeare and Wordsworth are boosters to the brain and better therapy than some guide books, researchers say this week.Scientists, psychologists and English academics at Liverpool University have found that reading the works of the Bard and other classical writers has a beneficial effect on the mind, catches the reader’s attention and triggers moments of self-reflection. Using scanners (扫描仪器), they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read works by William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, T.S Eliot and others.They then ―translated‖ the original texts into more ―straightforward‖, modern language and again monitored the reade rs’ brains as they read the words.Scans showed that the more ―challenging‖ essays and poetry set off far more electrical activity in the brain than the much plainer versions.Scientists were able to study the brain activity as it responded to each word and record how it was ―activated‖ as the readers encountered unusual words, surprising phrases or difficult sentence structure.This ―activation‖ of the mind lasts longer, shifting the brain to a higher speed, encouraging further reading.The research also found that reading poetry, in particular, increases activity in the right hemisphere of the brain, helping the reader to reflect on their own experiences, which they compare with what they have read. This, according to the researchers, meant that the classic works were more useful than guide books.Philip Davis, an English professor believes "The research shows the power of literature to shift thinking patterns, to create new thoughts, shapes and connections in the young and adults alike.‖47. What does the underlined ―it‖ stand for in paragraph 5?A. Each word of the literary works.B. A certain difficult sentence structure.C. The scanner.D. Brain activity.48. How was the experiment carried out?①The classics were rewritten in simpler languages.② A reader’s brain activity was recorded when reading original Shakespeare.③Compare the electrical activities of the brain.④ A reader’s brain activity was recorded when reading the revised versions.A. ①③④②B. ②④①③C. ②③①④D. ②①④③49. What is the possible benefit of reading classic works according to the study?A. It would help increase the sale of Shakespeare plays.B. It helps readers learn more difficult grammar.C. It inspires regular readers to think out of the box.D. It forces readers to train the left hemisphere of their brain.50. What might be the author’s attitude towards reading classics as therapy?A. DoubtfulB. PositiveC. IndifferentD. Opposing第二节补全对话(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)A: What’s your opinion about this design? 51B: I have never seen a better one. 52A: Thanks.

A collection of evidence has shown that these things contribute to healthier and longer lives, but the new study actually qualified their mixed effect, the British team said．―These results may provide further support for the idea that even small differences in lifestyle may make a big difference to health, ‖ the researchers wrote in the journal PLOS Medicine．Between 1993 and 1997 the researchers questioned 20,000 healthy British men and woman about their lifestyles．They also tested ever y participant’s blood to measure vitamin C intake, an indicator（指标）of how much fruit and vegetables people ate．Then they assigned the participants aged 45-79 a score of between 0 and 4，giving one point for each of the healthy behaviors. After allowing for age and other factors that could affect the likelihood of dying, the researchers found people with a score of 0 four times as likely to die.The researchers, who tracked deaths among the participants until 2006，also said a person with a health score of 0 had the same risk of dying as someone with score of 4 who was 14 years older．The lifestyle change with the biggest benefit was _____________________, which led to an 80 percent improvement in health, the study found. This was followed by eating fruits and vegetables. Drinking a little and keeping active brought the same benefits, Kay-Tee Khaw at the University of Cambridge said.

I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices.The nearest thing that I came to actual owner completed the sal e with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, an d he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the far m for just what I gave for it.The real attractions of the Hollowell farm to me were its position , being about tow miles from the village, half a mile from the ne arest neighbor, bounded on one side by the river, and separate d from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the ho use and fences showed that it hadn’t been used for some time.I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house u sed to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to b uy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting d own the apple trees, and clearing away some young trees whic h had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.I wasn’t really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garde n, but I don’t think I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted. It mak es but little difference whether you own a farm or not.31.What do we know about the author?A. He wanted to buy the oldest farm near where he lived.B. He made a study of many farms before buying.C. He made money by buying and selling farms.D. He had the money to buy the best farm in the country.32.Why did the author decide to buy the Hollowell place?A. It was of good market value.B. It was next to the highway.C. It was in a good position.D. It was behind a nice garden.33.The underlined words “the loss” in the last paragraph refers t o _____.A. the money the author lost in buying a farmB. the sale of the garden in the Hollowell placeC. the removal of the trees around the houseD. the failure to possess the Hollowell place34.What does the author believe as important in life?A. To own a farm.B. To satisfy his needs.C. To be free from worries.D. To live in the countryside.BYou are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a vic tim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a c old and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourse lf for all your problems, thus internalizing your victimization. Thetruth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. T hey know there are individuals who might like to control their liv es, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have t heir weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fa il. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They beli eve their dance with each sacred moment of life is a gift and tha t storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain neede d for emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal wi th many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of lif e is worlds apart. Victims relish in anger, guilt, and other emotio ns that cause others—and even themselves—to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspir ation, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationshi p, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible s uffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the s ame experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative forc e in his life.In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to h ave fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator th at you are.35.What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A. People and things around you.B. Opportunities and probl ems.C. Creators and their choices.D. Victims and their sufferin gs.36.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Creators and victims face quite different things in life.B. Creators and victims are masters of their lives.C. Victims can influence more people than creators.D. Compared with victims, creators are more emotional.37.The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that _____.A. strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victim sB. people need family support to deal with challengers in lifeC. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their painsD. one’s experiences determine his attitude toward life38.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To define victims and creators.B. To evaluate victims against creators.C. To explain the relationship between victims and creators.D. To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.CAs demand for power and fuel grows steadily in the coming dec ades, we must consider every possible energy source at hand if we’re to meet the world’s needs. And because clean natural ga s is found in great plenty, there is little doubt that it will play a m ajor role on the world energy stage in this century, much like oil did in the last. But, like oil gas reserves are concentrated in just a few places in the world, usually far from where they’re needed most. And that’s only part of the challenge. The world has had well over 100 years to search for oil and to build the necessary f acilities to bring it to market; the natural gas facilities, particularl y when it comes to liquefied natural gas (LNG), is not nearly as developed.So what needs to be done? On the supply side, producing natio ns need policies that allow for better development of their natur al gas in an open, stable business environment, not one in which the rules of game change without warning. The sustainable d evelopment to ensure they’ll have enough supplies in the future , that means building the related facilities, including LNG station s. This, in turn, will require coastal areas to allow these necessa ry, but not necessarily pretty, facilities to be built in their backya rds. And energy companies have a responsibility to be good nei ghbors in those areas by operating these facilities responsibly a nd safely. They must also continue to put in the billions of dollar s needed to buildthe complex transport and storage facilities required to bring mo re gas to market.Expanding and diversifying energy sources by using more na tural gas could lead to lower fuel prices and to greater energy s ecurity. We’ve taken some steps to get started, but we need yo ur help to get the rest of the way.39.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Gas played a major part in the 20th century.B. Natural gas facilities are far from satisfactory.C. Gas reserves are widely spread around the world.D. Necessary facilities are ready to bring gas to market.40.The underlined word “one” (in Paragraph 2) refers to _____.A. the gas supply sideB. the business environmentC. the gas consuming nationD. the policy for gas develop ment41.The main purpose of the passage is to _____.A. warn people of the lack of power and fuelB. discuss the importance of oil and natural gasC. call for better use and development of natural gasD. instruct people how to make use of energy sources42.The passage might be followed by a paragraph about _____.A. what kind of help you can offerB. where energy sourc es are concentratedC. which countries are in great need of gasD. what problems of energy sources we may faceDHow Room Designs Affect Our Work and FeelingsArchitects have long had the feeling that the places we live in c an affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientis ts are giving this feeling an empirical basis. They are discoverin g how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people foc used and lead to relaxation.Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers—Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height ofa room’s ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicate s that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, whi ch may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceili ngs, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.In additions to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building ma y influence an occupant’s ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells an d her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that ki ds who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a re sult of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off acad emically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kennet h Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at t he University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that stude nts in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outsi de the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, langua ge arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primaril y overlooked roads and parking lots.Recent study on room lighting design suggests than dim light h elps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the lig ht low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Res earchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furnitu re with rounded edges could help visitors relax.So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. “We h ave a very limited number of studies, so we’re almost looking a t the problem through a straw,” architect David Allison says. “Ho w do you take answers to very specific questions and make bro ad, generalized use of them? That's what we’re all struggling wi th.”43.What does Joan Meyers—Levy focus on in her research?A. Light.B. Ceilings.C. Windows.D. Furniture.44.The passage tells us that _____.A. the shape of furniture may affect people’s feelingsB. lower ceilings may help improve students’ creativityC. children in a dim classroom may improve their gradesD. students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed45.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mea ns that _____.A. the problem is not approached step by stepB. the researches so far have faults in themselvesC. the problem is too difficult for researchers to detectD. research in this area is not enough to make generalized pa tterns46.Which of the following shows the organization of the passag e?CP: Central Point P: Point SP: Sub-point（次要点） C: ConclusionEHumans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds o utside of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives.This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scient ists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy literature or movies like The L ord of the Rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe. But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy t hat we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exi st all around us?Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inbor n desire to connect with and understand other life forms, Howev er, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated live s. In a study of British schoolchildren, it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from tele vision shows and video games than with common wildlife. With out modern technology, a small pond could be an amazing worl d filled with strange and beautiful plants, insects, birds, and ani mals. When we lack meaningful interaction with the world aroun d us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we see k to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen.The world of make—believe is not necessarily bad. But when the world of fantasy be comes the only outlet for our sense of wonder, then we are reall y missing something. We are missing a connection with the livin g world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own.47.The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves _____.A. the close connection between man and the fantasy worldB. the wonderful achievements of fantasy literatureC. the fine taste of moviegoers around the worldD. the general existence of the sense of curiosity48.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?A. People are far less familiar with the world of fantasy.B. The world around us could serve as a sound of wonder.C. The world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond.D. Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder.49.If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make—believe, we will _____.A. fail to appreciate the joy in our livesB. be confused by the world of make—believeC. miss the chance to recognize the fantasy worldD. be trapped by other worlds existing all around us50.What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show us the hidden beauty in our world.B. To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world.C. To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder.D. To discuss the influence of the world of make—believe.第二节补全对话(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)—Excuse me, madam.

Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games. The di sappointment didn’t stop her from going forward. Instead, she b ecame interested in marathon swimming. A brilliant athlete, she was well—conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. As a long—distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion.[2]For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the w orld’s best long—distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten—mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for t he course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Th en she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.[3]Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

That goes far 51 the old records.The extent of how 52 the year has been in the US has 53 some meteorologists(气象学者) who have warned about global warming.“Everybody has this uneasy feeling. This is not good,” said Jerry Meehl, a climate scientist who54 in extreme weather at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo. “It’s a55 pleasure. You’re out enjoying this 56 March weather, but you know it’s not a good thing.”It’s not just March.“It’s been going on for several months,” said Jake Crouch, a climate scientist at NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Ashville, N.C.Meteorologists say an unusual combination of several weather 57 , including La Nina, was the direct cause of the warm start to 2012. While individual events can’t be 58 on global warming, Crouch said this is like the extremes that are supposed to get more frequent because of 59 climate change from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil.Normally, March 60 42.5 degrees across the country. This year, the average was 51.1, which is closer to the average for April. Only one other time —in January 2006 —was the country as a whole that much 61 than normal for an entire month.In March, 62 7,775 weather stations across the nation broke daily high temperature records and another 7,517 broke records for night-time 63 .

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 just read.（A）Marshall was a promising young artist. He painted with great feeling. His paintings were all characterized by a strong love and sympathy for people. His high school art teacher felt he had a special talent.Marshall’s father didn’t want him to be a painter, however. Mr. Donaldson wanted his son to be a stockbroker(股票经纪人). He wanted Marshall to continue the dynasty started by his great-great grandfather in 1820. The family business, Donaldson and Donaldson Inc., was now a large, successful investment firm.Mr. Donaldson felt Marshall was much too individualistic. “Listen,” he told his son, “I had no say in choosing my career. I just did what my dad told me.”“But you are good at business,”Marshall replied. “I’m not. I’m sure I would just cause trouble for you and problems for the company.” Marshall felt there was no way he could ever fill his father’s shoes. And, although he was no stranger to high society, he didn’t feel comfortable among the wealthy. He preferred the ordinary, working-class people of the city. His paintings told of their struggles and their hopes.Sometimes after school Marshall would hang around outside a factory gate. He would draw the workers as they came out at the end of their shift. Marshall wondered how they could keep doing that hard, boring work year after year. Then he realized most of them would be doing something different if they could. But their great obstacle in life was lack of education.When Marshall got home, he would take out his paintings. The paintings expressed his sympathy and respect for those hard-working people.Well, Marshall never did enter the family business. This angered his father. But as Marshall got older, his career as an artist began to take off. He became quite famous, and people paid large amounts for his “plain people” paintings.In time, this success won Marshall’s dad over. Mr. Donaldson could see his son was born to paint. Marshall was glad his father finally came around. And happily, the two began to work together after all. Twice each year they held a benefit art show.Marshall donated a number of his paintings to be sold at each show. The persuasive Mr. Donaldson got his wealthy friends and clients(客户) to attend—and to spend. The money from the art sales was used to help factory workers improve their education.65. Why didn’t Marshall’s father want Marshall to be a painter at first?A. He thought Marshall was good at business rather than art.B. He expected Marshall to continue their family business.C. He wanted Marshall to earn more money.D. He thought Marshall was individualistic.66. From the passage we can learn that ___________.A. Marshall’s choice turned out to be wrongB. Marshall’s choice affected their family businessC. Marshall’s father at last supported Marshall’s choiceD. Marshall’s father was always unhappy with Marshall’s choice67. The underlined phrase “take off” in paragraph 7 probably means “__________”.A. to take away or removeB. to go away unexpectedlyC. to stop working temporarilyD. to suddenly become very successful68. It was __________ that made Marshall a successful artist.A. his talent and diligenceB. his dad’s help with art showsC. his art teacher’s supportD. his desire to help poor people（B）To whom it may concern,I highly recommend Jane Doe as a candidate for employment.

Millions more live with adults who are sick from AIDS.Lucie Cluver from Oxford University in England has studied children of AIDS(AIDS orphaned children and children living with sick adults) in South Africa. She says children can be deeply affected by their experiences. And one of the biggest impacts we see is mental health, their psychological health. So, for example, we see that AIDS orphaned children have very much higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress disorder than children who have a live parent or children whose parents have died of other causes. Lucie Cluver says children have to live with the sense of shame connected to AIDS. Many are abused(欺负) at school or excluded from the community.Children living with sick adults are more likely to live in poverty and face physical and emotional abuse. Also, Lucie Cluver says the children often become the caregivers. They’re missing school to go and get medication. They’re often taking them to the toilet, cleaning their wounds or washing their bedclothes. So these kids find it ve ry stressful and upsetting. They’re very worried about the health and feel responsible for the health of the sick person. Close contact with sick adults can sometimes spread tuberculosis(肺结核) or other diseases. And, as Lucie Cluver said, even when the children are in school, paying attention can be difficult. It’s constantly on their minds and really making it difficult for them to do well at school. She calls for testing more children for tuberculosis. She also calls for giving more parents the drugs needed to keep them healthy longer with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.There are programs to help children, but there is “far more to be done.” Interventions(干预治疗) and support groups are “urgently needed” for those orphaned by AIDS or living with sick adults. But the evidence for which interventions are effective “is still thin”.72. The topic of the passage is __________.A. children of AIDS doing badly at schoolB. more and more children suffering from AIDSC. children of AIDS facing mental problemsD. an increasing number of people dying of AIDS73. According to Lucie Cluver, AIDS orphaned children have very much higher levels ofdepression mainly because they __________.A. have a sense of shame connected to AIDSB. cannot focus their attention on study at schoolC. are more likely to be affected with tuberculosisD. often have to miss school to look after their sick parents74. We can infer from the last paragraph that __________.A. enough has been done for children of AIDSB. interventions prove very effective for children of AIDSC. nothing can be done to help children except interventionsD. interventions may be useful for helping children of AIDS75. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The first case of AIDS occurred 30 years ago.B. Children whose parents are infected with AIDS often help with housework.C. Children whose parents have died of causes other than AIDS don’t have stress disorder.D. Children don’t have psychological problems when their parents are still alive with HIV. Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph.There is one extra heading which you do not need.Making informed choices before and during your trip is the single most important thing you can do to become a responsible traveler. With a little planning, you can improve the quality of your trip, while making a real difference to the people and places you visit.76. ______________________________Search the web and consult guidebooks to start your pre-trip homework. Look for information and resources on eco tourism. Ecotourism Explorer, TIES’ interactive online directory, makes searching for your perfect eco-holiday easy! Choose guidebooks with information on your destination’s environmental, social and political issues, and read before booking.77. ______________________________Call or email tour operators that have firsthand knowledge of the place you are considering visiting. Check the websites of all accommodations. Let tour operators/hotels know that you are a responsible consumer. Before you book, ask about their social and environmental policies. For instance - What is your environmental policy? What percentage of your employees are local citizens? Do you support any projects to benefit the local community?78. ______________________________Are the businesses you’re considering certified? Do they have eco-label ratings, or have they won eco-awards? Have you heard of the AAA or 5-star rating systems? These long-standing labels judge hotel quality and services. Many certification programs have also been created in tourism to rate the environmental and social impacts of tourism businesses. These programs are important tools for distinguishing genuine ecotourism companies, products or services from those that are merely using “eco-” as a marketing tool to attract consumers. More and more companies have earned eco-labels, and we encourage you to purchase from these businesses.79. ______________________________A growing number of tourism businesses are helping to financially and materially support community projects and offering travelers the opportunity to get involved. Many of TIES members around the globe are leading the efforts to give back to local communities and enhance the livelihoods of local people through ecotourism. We encourage you to contribute to and participate in these projects, and support those companies that are making positive impacts on the lives of local hosts.80. ______________________________Don’t Be Fooled by green-washing. “Eco” is a fashionable label used widely in the tourism industry. It sounds appealing, but much of what is marketed as “eco” is simply traditional tourism with superficial changes. So it’s important to check behind the labels.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.A finding in recent years shows that men cannot manufacture blood as efficiently as women can. This makes surgery riskier for men. Men also need more oxygen because they do not breathe as often as women. But men breathe more deeply and this exposes them to another risk. They draw more of the air into their lungs when it is polluted.Men’s bones are larger than women’s and they are arranged somewhat differently. The female walk that causes so many whistles is a matter of bone structure. A man has broader shoulders and a narrower pelvis(骨盆), which makes him walk with no waste moti on. A woman’s wider pelvis, designed for childbearing, forces her to put more movement into each step she takes with the result that she displays a bit of jiggle and sway(摇摆) as she walks.If you think a man is brave because he can climb a ladder to clean the roof, don’t forget it is easier for him than for a woman. The angle at which a woman’s thigh(大腿) is joined to her knees makes climbing difficult for her, whether it is a ladder or stairs or a mountain that she is climbing.A man’s skin is thicker than a woman’s and not nearly as soft. This prevents the sun’s radiation from getting through, which is why men wrinkle less than women do. Women have a thin layer of fat just under the skin and there is a plus to this greater fat reserve. It acts as an invisible fur coat to keep a woman warmer in the winter. Women also stay cooler in summer because the fat layer helps protect them against heat. Men’s fat is distributed differently. And they do not have that layer of it underneath their skin. In fact, they have considerably less fat than women and more muscle. 41 percent of a man’s body is muscle compared to thirty-five percent for women, which means that men have more muscle power. The higher proportion of muscle to fat makes it easier for men to lose weight. Muscle burns up five more calories a pound than fat does just to maintain itself. So when a man wants to lose weight, the pounds roll off much faster.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) 81.

That men breathe more deeply can result in a risk of _____________________________.83.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.There are more than almost two million cars on the streets of Shanghai. That’s not a big number _41_ to the city’s population of 23 million, but everyone agrees that traffic is a big problem here. And many people would argue that it’s not the number of cars on the road, but the _42_ of the drivers that is the main cause of concern.According to one survey, 37% of Shanghai drivers have less than three years of driving experience. Many of these drivers are middle-aged and have never operated machinery more _43_ than a washing machine. On the road, they drive fast when they should drive slow, _44_ use turn signals, and make right turns on red lights without stopping first. And in the past year, there have been several incidents that resulted in pedestrian deaths when _45_ drivers mistook the gas pedal for the brake (刹车)pedal.There are new regulations _46_ at making it more difficult for people to get a driver’s license, but that is only a partial solution to Shanghai’s traffic problems. What is really needed is a _47_ in drivers’ attitudes. There seems to be a lack of concern for safety on the part of drivers: their own safety and the safety of others. You can see this every day as drivers change lanes aggressively and _48_ pedestrians at crosswalks and intersections.A car is a great convenience, but it can also be a _49_ weapon. Drivers will have to realize that before Shanghai’s streets can become truly safe.III. Reading Comprehension (50%)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.German universities, known for their excellence throughout the world in the early part of the 20th century, are in a state of decline, according to Michael Burda, an American economics professor at Berlin’s Humholdt University．Burda claims that Germany’s 300 schools of 50 learning are being hurt by ―a long-time shortage of general 51 ．―No statistic（统计数字）makes this more evident than a low proportion of young Germans actually 52 university-level degrees,‖ he says．Only 22 per cent of German students aged 24-34 53 complete their university studies．That’s compared to 31 percent in the UK, and 39 percent in the US, 54 the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development （OECD）．One reason for the decline is that Germany spends barely 1．1 per cent of its gross 55 product （GDP）on higher education, compared to 2．6 percent in the US．― A central reason why so few Germans56 university degrees here is the deterioration （下降/退化）in the 57 of education．This certainly comes from the rise in the number of students per teacher．Those who have the will and the means often study 58 ,‖ he said．Since the 1960s, more than 90 percent of German higher education has been publicly supported．Famous universities are still public institutions, 59 by federal and regional governments．Private funding of universities is 60 in Germany．This comes from the country’s lack of a donating tradition and rules limiting the amounts of tax-free donations．But now there signs that 61 may be changing．Professor Dieter Lenzen, president of Berlin’s Free University, agrees that62 money has to be spent on higher education．But he disputes Burda’s claim that German universiti es are in 63 ．―A decade ago that may have been the 64 , but that was a result of the unsteady situation at the time of reunification．Now, things have changed for the better,‖ Lenzen said．50．A．self B．high C．higher D．language 51．A．loan B．funding C．aid D．finance 52．A．completing B．rewarding C．demanding of D．applying for 53．A．successfully B．scarcely C．fail to D．try to 54．A．thanks to B．due to C．owing to D．according to 55．A．definite B．digital C．dominant D．domestic 56．A．persuade B．pursue C．seek D．refuse 57．A．difficulty B．quantity C．quality D．organization 58．A．here B．abroad C．alone D．at home 59．A．administered B．established C．managed D．financed 60．A．rare B．common C．sufficient D．rejected 61．A．tax B．money C．attitudes D．decision 62．A．less B．more C．no D．enough 63．A．progress B．decline C．need D．development 64．A．evidence B．occasion C．situation D．caseSection BDirections:Read the following passages. 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 just read.(A)The Internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card fraud. Your card information could even be for sale in an illegal Web site.Web sites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care. On-line shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they bought.The thieves then go shopping with your card number or sell the information over the Internet.Computers hackers(黑客) have broken down security systems, raising questions about the safety of cardholder information. Several months ago,25 000 customers of CD Universe, an on-line music retailer(批发商),were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Web site after the retailer refused to pay US $157 828 to get back the information.Credit-card firms are now fighting against on-line fraud. Master Card is working on plans for Web-only credit card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping on-line.However, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.Ask about your credit-card firm's on-line rules: Under British law, cardholders are responsible for the first US $78 of any fraudulent spending.And shop only at secure sites: Send your credit-card information only if the Web site offers advanced secure system.If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The Web site address may also start with https://—the extra ―s‖ stands for secure. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.Keep your password safe: Most online sites require a user name and password before placing an order. Treat your passwords with care.65. What do most people worry about the Internet according to this passage?A. A lot of stolen credit-cards were sold on the Internet.B. Fraud on the Internet.C. Many Web sites are destroyed.D. Many illegal Web sites are on the Internet.66. What is the meaning of the word ―fraud‖ ?A. cheatingB. saleC. paymentD. safety67. How can the thieves get the information of the credit-card?A. The customers give them the information.B. The thieves steal the information from Web sites.C. The customers sell the information to them.D. Both A and B.68. You are shopping on the site: ,and you want to buy a TV set, what does this article suggest doing?A. Order the TV set at once.B. Do not buy the TV set on this site.C. E-mail the site your credit-card information.D. Tell the site your password and buy the TV set for you.(B)Before we send humans into deep space, we’ll have to find out just how long the human body can survi ve in a weightless environment. One problem is that in space there’s no physical sensation to let you know when you’re upside down and astronauts have to rely on possible clues from their surroundings. A few hours after reaching orbit(轨道), one in three of all astronauts will experience space sickness—a feeling rather like carsickness. There is also the problem of protection from the extreme hazards(危险) of space such as constant meteorite bombardment(陨星轰击) and radiation. It is going to take some clever technology to keep rockets and astronautsfrom these dangers.Even with a well-protected spaceship, space travel isn’t going to be easy. No matter what you travel in, it is going to be a long flight in space! Science fiction writers often imagine using suspended animation(动画), a kind of forced long-term sleep, as a way for astronauts to escape the boredom of long missions.An even stronger measure might be to freeze the astronauts. We already use cryogenic(低温) techniques to preserve dead bodies and store human embryos(胚胎). Freezing living adults may not be so far away, but perhaps we don’t have to do that. Perhaps we should use our existing technology and send frozen embryos to the far corners of universe.Hundreds of years from now, billions and billions of miles away, the embryos will be thawed(解冻) and their hearts will start beating. These astronauts of the future will not grow inside a mother’s body but will be produced in a machine. They will be brought up by robot. It may seem strange but one day it might just happen.69. We can learn from the passage that _______.A. scientists already use existing technology to store embryos for space flightB. cryogenic techniques will practically be used for space flight in hundreds of yearsC. it may be easier to freeze embryos than to freeze adults on the spaceshipD. most astronauts will suffer from space sickness70. In the future astronauts for extreme long journeys will grow up_____.A. before they go into spaceB. during the space tripC. when they are inside mother’s bodyD. after they return from space71. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the bright future of space flightB. the possibility to train embryo astronautsC. the physical and mental conditions of astronautsD. the problems and the possible solutions to them in long space flights( C )NASDAQ, acronym for the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation system, is one of the largest markets in the world for the trading of stocks. The number of companies listed on NASDAQ is more than that on any of the other stock exchange in the United States, including the New York Stock Exchange(NYSE) and the American Stock Exchange (AMSE). The majority of companies listed on NASDAQ are smaller than most of those on the NYSE and AMSX. NASDAQ has become known as the home of new technology companies, particularly computer and computer-related businesses. Trading on NASDAQ is started by stock brokers(经纪人) acting on behalf of their clients. The brokers negotiate with market makers who concentrate on trading specific stocks to reach a price for the stock.Unlike other stock exchange, NASDAQ has no central location where trading takes place. Instead, its market makers are located all over the country and make trades by telephone and via the Internet. Because brokers and market makers trade stocks directly instead of on the floor of a stock exchange, NASDAQ is called an over-the-counter market. The term over-the –counter refers to the direct nature of the trading, as in a store where goods are handed over a counter.Since its inception(开市) in 1971, the NASDAQ Stock Market has been the innovator(创新者). As the world’s first electronic stock market, NASDAQ long ago set a precedent(先例) fortechnological trading innovation that is unrivaled(无对手的). Now ready to become the world’s first truly global market, the NASDAQ Stock Market is the market of choice for business industry leaders worldwide. By providing an efficient environment for raising capital NASDAQ has helped thousands of companies achieve their desired growth and successfully make the leap into public ownership.72. What is TRUE of NASDAQ?A.It is the largest stock market in the world.B.IT lists only small companies.C.It lists all the new technology companies.D.It lists the biggest number of companies.73. The word‖ negotiate‖(Line 8,Para.1) means ________.A. discussB. argueC. interfereD. cope74. NASDAQ is also known as an over-the –counter market because it seems______.A. a stock marketB. a stock exchangeC. a counterD. a store75. Since its founding in 1971, NASDAQ has contributed to ______.A.raising money for many companiesB.creating an efficient environment for many companiesC.the expected development of many companiesD.the unexpected development of many companiesSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A - F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76. ______________________Current research into the human gene system is helping us understand why people have predispositions（易患某病倾向）to certain diseases. Knowing our genetic makeup can help us to judge whether or not we may be stricken by particular illness, such as cancer. Even before birth, we are able to do genetic screenings to determine what a child's genetic disorder will be. Scientists have already isolated and identified the genes responsible for the more than 4,000 genetic diseases that affect human beings.77. ______________________The implications of this knowledge are astonishing. In addition to predicting genetic predisposition towards diseases, gene therapies may provide new treatments or cures for serious diseases. Millions of people already use genetically engineered drugs to treat heart disease, cancer, AIDS, and strokes（中风）. But with the research that is now being conducted, we may find curesto many more diseases. In the near future, genetic experimentation will also allow parents to select the traits of their children. Genetic traits that determine height, weight, eye and hair color will be able to be controlled, and many parents are excited about this potential.78. ______________________Many people, however, are unwilling to accept the possibilities genetic research.. For example, one reason some women do not use the largest genetic testing for breast cancer is because they are afraid they will be discriminated against. Another problem is that many people do not want to discover their weakness. What if they learn that they have a disease for which there are no medical cures? How will such knowledge affect their lives? Do people really want to know what they will die of?79. ______________________Many people believe that history has not always shown human decision-making to be bright when it comes to ethical（道德的）choices. Jeremy Rifkin is probably the most well known opponent of genetic engineering. He believes that humans are not responsible enough to experiment with genes and should not "play God" He asks, "Just because it can be done, does that mean it should be done?" He points out that our society will eventually look and act the same if parents select the traits of their children, and he questions the desirability of such a society.80. ______________________One of the fears expressed about genetic experimentation involves privacy. Already blood sample taken from patients in hospitals have been used for genetic research without the patients' permission. Most people would agree that one's health and genetic makeup are private concerns. But if insurance companies gain access to this information, it could have a large impact on insurance coverage or costs; if employers gain access to the information, it could have a large impact on hiring or promotion decisions. The possibilities for discrimination are obvious. Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.（No more than 12 words）A long-awaited final report from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concludes that foods from healthy cloned animals and their offspring are as safe as those from ordinary animals, effectively removing the last US regulatory barrier to the marketing of meat and milk from cloned cattle, pigs and goats.The 968-page "final risk assessment," not yet released but obtained by The Washington Post, finds no evidence to support people’s concerns that food from clones may have hidden risk s. But, recognizing that a majority of consumers are wary of（谨慎的）food from clones—and that cloning could damage the good image of American milk and meat—the report includes hundreds of pages of raw data so that others can see how it came to its conclusions.The report also acknowledges that human health concerns are not the only subject raised by the coming-out of cloned farm animals.―Moral, religious and ethical concerns have been raised,‖ the agency notes in a document accompanying the report. But the report is ―exactly a science-based assessment.‖ It reports, because the agency is not authorized by law to consider those issues.In practice, it will be years before foods from clones make their way to store shelves in large quantities, in part because the clones themselves are too valuable to kill or milk. Instead, the expensive animals’replicas(复制品) of some of the finest farm animals ever born — will be used firstly as breeding stock to create what supporters say will be a new generation of superior farm animals.When food from those animals hits the market, the public may yet have its say. FDA officials have said they do not expect to require food from clones to be labeled as such, but they may allow foods from ordinary animals to be labeled as not from clones.81. What conclusion has FDA drawn after the public waited for a long time?82. Foods from clones won’t be available soon partly because _________________.83. With the appearance of cloned farm animals, people care more about _________________ problems.84. How will foods from ordinary animals be labeled?第II卷I.

Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I‟ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it‟s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors---silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It‟s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can‟t provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn‟t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.61. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A. Because they are traditional and safe.B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.C. Because they are colorful and available.D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.62. The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended __________.A. to ride it for funB. to use it for transportC. to experience local skillsD. to improve his riding skills63. How did the author feel about his street crossing?A. It was boring.B. It was difficult.C. It was lively.D. It was wonderful.64. Which of the following best describes the author‟s biking experience?A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.C. The author was praised by the other bikers.D. The author took great pleasure in biking.BAccording to sociologists, every modern industrial society has some form of social stratification（阶层）. Class, power and status are important in deciding people‟s rank in society. Class means a person‟s economic position in society. A commonly used classification is lower class, middle class and upper class. While sociologists disagree on how these terms should be exactly defined, they do describe societies like the United States quite well. One study shows that 53% of Americans belong to the lower class, 46% the middle class, and 1% the upper class. Interestingly, a surgeon earning ＄500,000 a year and a bus driver earning ＄50,000 a year both regard themselves as the middle class!Power refers to the amount of control a person has over other people. Obviously, people in positions of great power (such as governors) exercise（行使）big power, but people who take orders from others have less power. Power and class do not always go hand in hand, however. For example, the governor of a state has great power, but he or she may not belong to a corresponding （相应的）economic class. Generally, however, there is a relationship between power and class.To our knowledge, there aren‟t too many people who aren‟t millionaires in the U.S. Senate! Status is the honor or respect attached to a person‟s position in society. It can also be affected by power and class, but not necessarily so. For example, a university professor may have a high status but not belong to a high social class or have a lot of power over others.65. What can we learn about “the middle class” from Paragraph 2?A. People earning ＄50,000 a year belong to the middle class.B. Nearly half Americans belong to the middle class.C. People generally consider bus drivers as the middle class.D. Sociologists have a clear definition of the middle class.66. According to the text, we know that _____.A. power and class do not always correspond with each otherB. status refers to a person‟s economic position in societyC. people with high status have a lot of control over othersD. class is less important in deciding a person‟s social rank67. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?○P1○P1○P1○P1○P2○P3○P2P4P2○P3 P2P3P4P4P3P4A. B. C. D.68. What you have just read is a .A. noteB. reportC. scheduleD. poster69.

Festival food will be served without extra charge.LONDON---A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake（假冒的）bomb detectors（探测器）to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadn‟t cared about potentially deadly consequences.It is believed that James McCormick got about $ 77.8 million from the sales of his detectors---which were based on a kind of golf ball finder---to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi Arabia.McCormick, 57, was convicted（判罪）of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.“Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people,” Judge Richard Hone told McCormick. “You have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt.”The detectors, sold for up to $ 42, 000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they “lacked any grounding in science”and were of no use.McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya, the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.“I never had any bad results from customers,” he said.72. Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?A. He sold bombs.B. He caused death of people.C. He made detectors.D. He cheated in business.73. According to the judge, what McCormick had done .A. increased the cost of safeguardingB. lowered people‟s guard against dangerC. changed people‟s idea of social securityD. caused innocent people to commit crimes74. Which of the following is true of the detectors?A. They have not been sold to AfricaB. They have caused many serious problems.C. They can find dangerous objects in water.D. They don‟t function on the basis of science.75. It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick .A. solo the equipment at a low priceB. was well-known in most countriesC. did not think he had committed the crimeD. had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the textEThe light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis‟s Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack‟s dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.“So,” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name ? ”“Are you sure you want to hear it ? It‟s a scary story,” warned Jack.“Of course!” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn‟t have chosen this place!”“Ok, but don‟t say I didn‟t warn you,” said Jack, and he began this tale.“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in . In those days, the area looked quite different ---- it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.“ …You are clearing too much land, ‟ warned one old man. … The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it. ‟“ … Silly fool,‟ said Dennis to himself. …If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I‟ll become wealthier. He‟s just jealous!‟”“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”“What happened? ” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.“The land hit back ---- just as the old man warned, ” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”“What a stupid story, ” laughed Tom. “Plants can‟t …” Before he had finished speaking, h e screamed and fainted (晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom‟s face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.76. The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is close d in meaning to ________.A. courageB. assistanceC. instructionD. challenge77. Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?A. To frighten them.B. To satisfy their curiosity.C. To warn them of the danger of the place.D. To persuade them to camp in the swamp.78. Why did Dennis ignore the warning of the old man?A. The old man envied him.B. The old man was foolishC. He was too busy to listen to others.D. He was greedy for more crops.79. Why did Tom scream and faint?A. He saw Dennis‟s shadowB. He was scared by a plantC. His friends played a joke on him.D. The weather became extremely cold.80. What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?A. Grasp all, lose all.B. No sweat, no sweet.C. It is no use crying over spilt milk.D. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.第五节：短文改错（满分10分）Mr. Johnson is a hardworking teacher. Every day, he spends too much time with his work.
