ANo one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon (外科医生) and part of it taken out. Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have an operation felt all its pain.Long ago, an operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched.Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called “laughing gas”. Laughing gas became kn own in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing. But one man at a party, Horace Wells noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Wells' teeth. Wells felt no pain at all.As he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out.Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died.Wells never forgot this terrible event.1. Long ago,when the sick man was operated on ,he _________.A. could feel nothingB. could not want anythingC. Could feel all the painD. Could do anything2. Using the laughing gas, the people did not seem to ________.A. be afraid of anythingB. feel painC. want to go to the partiesD. be ill3. If a man took less laughing gas than he should have when an operation went on, he ________.A. felt nothingB. felt very comfortableC. still felt painD. would die4.One who took too much of the laughing gas ________.A. would laugh all the timeB. would dieC. would never feel painD. would be very calmBOne of the most popular American singers of the twentieth century was Elvis Presley. He made the rock’ n’ roll music popular all over the world. He sold millions of records and made many successful films, and he helped change the direction of popular music in the 1960s.Elvis Presley was born in a poor family in 1935. His parents were simple country people who often took him to church ,where he learned to sing, and he never forgot the kind of songs that he used to sing in church as a child.When he was young, Elvis moved from Toledo to Memphis in Tennessee, where he attended high school, but he was not a good student. His only real interest was singing. He began to sing in the style that is called “country and western”. In 1955 he recorded some songs for his mother’s birthday. The people at the recording studio liked his singing and his music. It was country and western music, but it also sounded a little like the music which black people used to sing in the American South. It w as called “blues”.Shortly after that, Elvis met Tom Parker, who became his manger and arranged concerts for him across the United States and new recording as well. Soon Elvis became famous around the country. Later Elvis went to Hollywood and began to appear in films such as Love Me Tender and King Creole.But Elvis found it difficult to live with success, Like many other famous people, he began to take drugs and his health started to suffer. When he died at an early age of 42 in 1977, millions of his f ans were shocked, ”The King Is Dead!” the newspaper said. But today his memory and his music live on and will always be remembered as the King of Rock’ n’ roll.5. From the passage, we can see ____________.A. the church songs didn’t help Elvis develop his own style.B. the church songs helped Elvis develop his singingC. Elvis didn’t get any help from his parentsD. Elvis forgot his church music at a later age.6. Who was Tom Parker?A. A manager of a bank.B. A famous singer.C. Elvis’ manager.D. Elvis’ best friend since childhood.7 What caused Elvis’ death?A. His taking the drugs.B. His singing too much.C. His parents’ death.D. Tom Parker’s help.8. What was E lvis’ music style like most?A. Only country and western.B. Only country and blues.C. Both western and church music.D. Not only country and western but also a bit “blues”.CAs a college student, I have planned my future career goals. I would like to work as a sales assistant in a computer company, then a sales manager and finally boss of my own company.At the very beginning, I plan to find a job in a famous company producingcomputers, in which all the staff are fully happy at work and I can experience job satisfaction most of the time. Only such kind of company can provide me with good working atmosphere and eagerness to learn more so as to get well prepared for my future profession.At first I want to be a sales assistant and always keep myself busy working in and out of the company, such as answering telephones, doing repair work, even cleaning the rooms. Although the salary may be low, I will seize every chance to learn from other staff. In my spare time, I will take some courses so as to get more qualifications and experience in this field. In three or five years, I am determined to become a sales manager who is responsible for the selling of the computers. I will interview as many customers as possible and do market research and improve our products. Meanwhile I will take care of my staff so as to make them eager to work to the best of their abilities.As is known to us, it is hard to manage a company, but I will make every effort to achieve my goal step by step, and I am sure “There is nothing difficult in the world if you put your heart into it.”9. If the writer has a company, his company will provide his staff with _______.A. high wagesB. dormitoriesC. some computers made in his companyD. good working atmosphere and eagerness10. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The writer would like to be a sales assistant first.B. The writer wants to set up a business of his own.C. The writer makes his mind to be the president of a famous company producing computers.D. The writer will take courses to get an MBA11. A sales assistant should do the following EXCEPT ________ in the opinion of the writer.A. answering telephonesB. interviewing customersC. cleaning the roomsD. doing repair work12. The text is mainly about __________.A. how to improve the writer’s abilitiesB. how to achieve the writer’s future career goalC. how to become a managerD. how to become a sales managerDWhen I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We live on a farmland, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its problems too.One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous. Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising—and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.13. Which of the following is TRUE about the writer?A. He is very old nowB. He lives in the city nowC. He prefers driving a carD. He is in good health14. In the passage, the writer tries to _____ .A. express his opinions about way of lifeB. describe his life in the countrysideC. show an interest in the outside wouldD. persuade the readers to live in the city15. Is life better in the city than in the countryside?A. Yes, it is.B. No, it isn’t.C. It is when you are young but not so when you are old.D. The text doesn’t tell us.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。

ADavid is an excellent student and he comes from New York. His family was there until he finished eighth grade. David had no choice but to sleep on park benches. Being alone on the streets was scary. One thing kept David going: his determination to do well in school.Even though many things were difficult in David’s life, one thing wa s going very well. David was accepted to a special high school called MC2STEM. It is a public school in Cleveland for kids who are extremely good at science. The school turned out a peaceful place for David. He especially enjoyed having the chance to learn by doing lots of projects.High school wasn’t easy. But David says that the school helped him set high standards for himself. Even when he didn’t have a place to stay at night, David kept his focus on his schoolwork.While he was homeless, David would sometimes sleep in the park during the day because it was safer. “ If you sleep in the daytime in the park, people won’t bother you,” he says. “you’re just taking a nap. It’s acceptable.” Then David would study through the night. He showered at a friend’s house when his friend’s parents were at work.All his hard work paid off. In May 2011, David graduated second in his high school class. He was accepted to 22 colleges. He also won a scholarship form the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

He refused to follow doctor’s orders, and his sour attitude made everyone upset when they visit him. Dad was left alone.So I asked Dad to come to live with me on my small farm, hoping the fresh air would help him adjust. Within a week after he moved in, I regretted the invitation. He criticized everything I did. I became frustrated. Something had to be done.One day I read an article which said when given dogs, depressed patients would be better off. So I drove to the animal shelter that afternoon. As soon as I got there, a pointer’s eyes caught my attention. They watched me calmly.A staff member said: “He got here two weeks ago and we’ve heard nothing. His time is up tomorrow.”I turned to the man in horror. “You mean you’re going to kill him?”“Ma’am,” he said gently. “We don’t have room for every unclaimed dog.”The pointer’s calm brown eyes awaited my decision. “I’ll take him,” I said.I drove home with the dog on the front seat beside me. I was helping it out of the car when Dad walked onto the front porch. “Look what I got you!” I said excitedly.Dad wrinkled his face. “I don’t want it,” he muttered, turning b ack towards the house. Then, suddenly, the dog pulled free from my grasp. He sat down in front of my Dad.Dad’s anger melted, and soon he was hugging the dog.This was the beginning of a warm friendship. Dad named the dog Cheyenne. Together they spent long hours walking down dusty lanes and relaxing on the banks of streams.Dad’s bitterness faded, and he and Cheyenne went on to make many friends. Then, late one night two years later, I felt Cheyenne’s cold nose burrowing (搜寻) through my bed covers. He ha d never before come into my bedroom at night. I ran into my father’s room and found that he had passed away.Two days later, my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dad’s bed.

Believe it or not, there are some people who actually get paid to do that! According to Reuben Reynoso, a professional mattress（床垫）tester at San Francisco’s McRoskey Mattress Factory that still makes every mattress by hand, it is real work and needs some training. For a start, it’s not all about jumping to new heights or doing tricks like professional athletes, but rather about feeling each area of the mattress carefully to detect the filling. In order to do it right, every bit of the mattress has to be tested slowly and deliberately.Over the years, Reynoso has figured out the perfect routine. He begins by placing a protective mat over the mattress so that it doesn’t get dirty or absorb the smell from his feet. Then beginsthe fun---he steps to the middle of an edge and then takes five steps back and five steps forward. In this way, he slowly but surely, covers the entire surface. The key according to him is to find the perfect number of jumps---Too many and he will end up destroying the mattress completely. Too few? And it will not fit into the giant machine for that final sewing! Who knew a job that sounds so simple could have so many skills!While Reuben will not reveal how he got into this profession, he will admit that it is more fun than being a carpenter, roofer, construction worker and railroad engineer---all jobs he has tried previous to finding his true profession!32.

According to Reynoso, the most important thing in his work is ______.A. the timing of his jumpsB. the height of his jumpsC. the number of his jumpsD. the frequency of his jumps35. We can learn from the text that Reynoso ______.A. has been injured several times in his workB. liked mattress jumping in his childhoodC. didn’t choose mattress testing as his first jobD. dreamt about becoming a jumping athlete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。

AHere is a collection of some of the eccentric(古怪的)laws in the world. We can laugh , we can gasp, we can only wonder……1. Think before you chewIn Singapore, chewing gum is prohibited. This rule was introduced because of the high cost and difficulty inremoving stuck chewing gum from public premises. Inparticular, chewing gum stuck on the Mass Rapid Transit train doors stopped the train from moving. It happened a few times and those were a few times too many.2. Lighten upDrivers in Denmark are supposed to drive vehicles with their headlights on. You’d think this law would apply tonight driving but it doesn’t . It is considered essential during the day as well or they may face a fine of up to ﹩100.Studies have shown that this has helped a lot to avoidroad accidents in Denmark.3. To fail﹥to jailIn Bangladeshi, children 15 and older can be put in jail for cheating on their final examinations. Every year, Bangladeshi government takes strong measures to stop cheating and carries out a massive media campaign to forewarn students through print and television.4.Sue(控告) them pants!In France, it is still against the law for women to wear pants. The law reportedly has been on the books since 1800. It was amended several times: once in 1892 to allow women to sport trousers while riding horses and again in 1909 to permit the ladies to wear pants while on bicycles.5. The law with a flawIn Georgia no bicycle shall be equipped, modified,or altered in such a way as to cause the pedal in its lowermost position to be more than 12 inches above the ground, nor shall any bicycle be operated if so equipped . Thequestion is :Who would ride such a bike?6. One Two Three Go!In Massachusetts at a wake(守丧),mourners may eatno more than three sandwiches. It is one of those laws that was written in books and never removed since then. Bad manners, one might consider it, but in Massachusetts it is a criminal offense.21. How many laws are mentioned in the passage?A . TwoB .Three C. Six D. Five22. In which country is chewing gum not allowed ?A. SingaporeB. AmericaC. FranceD. China23. Which is Not true according to the passage ?A. In Bangladesh, children 15 and younger can be put injail for cheating.B. In Georgia no bicycle shall be equipped .C. In France it is still against the law for women towear pants.D. Drivers in Denmark are supposed to drive vehicles with their headlights on.BNot all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France . The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced , not that the memories are wiped out . They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war.They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They u sually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories a nd changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are . I’m not sure we wa nt to wipe those memories out.” Said Rebcca Dresser , a medical ethicist.24.The passage is mainly aboutA. a new medical inventionB. a newresearch on the pill -C. a way of wiping out painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill25. The drug tested on people canA. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. wipe out the emotional effect of memories26.We can infer from the passage thatA. people doubt the effect of the pillsB. the pills will certainly stop people’s emotional memoriesC. taking the pill will do harm to people’s physical healthD. the pill has already been produced and used bythe public in the US27. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agreewith in the last paragraph?A. Some memories can ruin people’s lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories .C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people’s sufferings from bad memories.CWith around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9:00 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pyjamas(睡衣). Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting(警报) systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students notfeeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred t o as the “night owl” schedule of sleep.This is opposed to the “early bird” schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight . Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as “night owls” and only 10 percent can be classified as “early birds” ——the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.28. What does the author stress in Paragraph 1 ?A. Many students are absent from class.B. Students are very tired on Monday mornings.C. Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.D. Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.29. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?A . Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.B. Students don’t sleep well because of alerting systems.C .One’s body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently.D. Adolescents’ delayed sleep/wake cycle isn’t the preferred pattern.30. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “classified”?A. CriticizedB. GroupedC. OrganizedD. Named31. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Functions of the body clock.B. The “night owl” phenomenon.C. H uman beings’ sleep behaviour.D. The school schedule of “early birds”.DThe surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it presses down upon you. Air pressure is a powerful force. When you swim underwater, you can feel water pushing on your body. The air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the Earth, extending to about five kilometers above the Earth’s surface.The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home. But make sure that you are supervised, because you will need to use matches. Now for the experiment!What you need●A hard-boiled egg without the shell●A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg●A piece of paper● A matchMethodCheck that the egg will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.Tear the paper into strips and put the strips into the bottle.Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle. Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.ResultAstonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches.Why it happenedAs the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen(air) in the bottle. The egg acts as a seal in the neck of the bottle，so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. The air pressure mustequalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air presses against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! This proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on us.32. Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment?A. The bottle could break.B. You need to light the paper with a match.C. The egg needs to be shelled.D. The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.33. In the experiment, the burning inside the bottlecan .A .equalize the air pressure inside and outsideB. make a seal in the neck of the bottleC. finish up the oxygen inside the bottleD. Produce more oxygen inside the bottle34. How did the egg get into the bottle?A. The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in.B. It became soft without the shell.C. The neck of the bottle was wide enough.D. The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle.35. The experiment is carried out to prove .A. water pushes on your body when you swim underwaterB. the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphereC. the pressure of air around us has a powerful forceD. the air pressure is not equalized around us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。

AIn May, 2014, some Chinese tourists found a Chinese-character message “Ding Jinha o once visited here〞 on a statue of god in a 3500-year-old Egyptian temple. An angry tourist took the photograph of the scrawl and posted it on social media Sina Weibo. It was quickly spread and there were more than 100,000 comments during two weeks. Later, a 15-year-old Chinese boy was searched out as the person who caved this message. Many netizens expressed their anger and disappointment for the uncivilized behavior. They searched and identified the boy and then posted his personal information including the address and pictures online.Over the weekend, his school’s website was hacked, and reporters flooded into his home in the city of Nanjing. Besieged by reporters, the child’s mother offered a formal apology for her son’s behavior. “We want to apolo gize to the Egyptian people and to people who have paid attention to this case across China.〞the boy’s mother told the local newspaper.With China’s economy booming over the past decades, a growing number of the country’s residents have become global tourists. Earlier this month, Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang addressed: “Uncivilized behavior of some of tourists is giving this country a bad reputation abroad.〞 The discussion about Chinese quality was carried out on many media.On the bright side, Egypt government described the damage to the temple as superficial〔外表的〕and could be restored and they would forgive the boy. While the act of Ding Jinhao symbolizes a national shame, meanwhile, many people concern about the child’s development and wish he could ret urn to anonymity once more. “The boy has known his mistake and cried all night. He has to be moved around because reporters rushes to his house for interviews.〞 said a reporter who talked with the parents.21. The passage is mainly about ________.A.

Then you eat some 3-D printed food and relax on your printed sofa. Perhaps you take a ride in a printed electric car to the hospital to get a printed tooth fitted.Though some of these things may seem impossible, they’re closer to reality than you might think. The world of 3-D printing is coming to a store near you soon.The idea of 3-D printing is to produce complicated shapes in a very personalized way. If you want to make a totally new object, you need to make a virtual design in a CAD〔computer aided design〕file first. Or you can use a 3-D scanner to make a digital copy of an object. Then, based on the design or copy, the 3-D printer makes paper-thin slices out of liquid, plastic, or metal and puts them together to create the object you want.There are many areas in which 3-D printing can change our lives. One such area is health care. Researchers have developed simple 3-D printed organs, which can be used in life-saving operations. A 17-year-old boy in the US has also recently developed a brain-powered, 3-D printed replacement hand. From heart monitors to fake limbs〔四肢〕, we can soon be living longer thanksto 3-D printed technology.Another area that 3-D technology looks sure to change is food. Can you imagine being able to print your favorite dishes at home at the touch of a button? Even big companies are behind the trend. Hersheys, one of the largest chocolate makers in the world, recently announced that it would start producing chocolate with the help of 3-D printers. NASA, the US space agency, has reportedly spent $125,000 〔767,594 yuan〕developing a “3-D pizza printer〞.It is not yet clear how long it will take until 3-D printers are available to everyone. But one thing is for sure: the possibilities are endless.28. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.A. list some major 3-D printing breakthroughsB. describe the characters of 3-D printingC. picture a future life with 3-D printingD. describe the benefits that 3-D printing has brought to our lives29. Compared with traditional manufacturing procedures, 3-D printing ________.A. isn’t practical in daily lifeB. relies less heavily on the use of 3-D scannersC. can produce complicated products in larger sizes or numbersD. has an advantage in meeting the personal needs30.

AIt's 10:30 pm, and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. The message becomes clear: "R U awake?"Brandon' s use of technology doesn' t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles (控制台 ) in his room. With so many choices, it' s no surprise that when he isn' t at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices.w w w .x k b Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, th e study found.The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. " If you’ve got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?" media expert Cheryl Olson says.Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with friends. " It' s a matter of balance," says Olson." You’ve got to work on it. "Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. "It' s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply, " says Rideout.With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check is more important than ever. " Kids should try," adds Rideout. " But parents might have to step in sometimes. "21. Why do children spend more time in using electronic devices?A. Because electronic devices are more exciting than before.B. Because more electronic devices are available to them.C. Because they have less other activities.D. Because they have less homework to do.22. It is known from the passage that ____.A. Brandon Blanco feels very annoyed about his late-night textB. the teenagers using mobile devices have increased by 30% in the past five yearsC. most experts think teenagers should not use electronic devices for their studiesD. Cheryl Olson is not surprised about kids' increasing use of mobile devices23. Which of the following is an example of multitasking according to the passage?A. Playing video games on the Internet.B. Talking on the phone while staying with others.C. Watching TV while using the computer.D. Listening to music while relaxing.24. The underlined phrase "in check" in the last paragraph can be replaced by "____".A. in orderB. in controlC. in storeD. in sightBIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible．Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel．It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to haveone in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too．It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving．On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting．A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition．But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough．Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous．Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time．The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to．It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies (奶奶).An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings．Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive．Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users．It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.25．According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by .A．road conditions B．the behavior of the driversC．the speed of modern life D．the large number of cars26．In the writer’s opinion, .A．unskillful drivers should be punishedB．strict traffic rules are badly neededC．drivers should show road politeness properlyD. drivers should avoid traffic jams27．The underlined word “give-and-take” in the passage means .A．politeness and impolitenessB．good manners and bad mannersC．willingness to give in to each other’s wishesD．offering help to others as much as possible28．What is the best title of the passage?A．Traffic Problems B．Road PolitenessC．Bad Manners on the Road D．Good Drivers and Bad DriversCClimate change，pollution，overuse of water and development are killing some of the world’s most famous rivers including China’s Yangtze．India’s Ganges and Africa’s Nile．WWF said on Tuesday．At the global launch of its report “World’s Top 10 Rivers at Risk”，the group said many rivers could dry out. affecting hundreds of millions of people and killing unique aquatic(水生的)life．“If these rivers die，millions will lose their livelihoods，biodiversity(生物多样性)will be destroyed on a massive scale，there will be less fresh water and agriculture，resulting in less food security，”said．Rayi Singh，secretary—general of WWF—India．The report,launched ahead of“World Water Day”today，alsocited the Rio Grande in．the United States，the Mekong and Indus in Asia，Europe’s Danube, La Plata in South America and Australia’s Murray—Darling as in need of greater protection．Rivers are the world’s main source of fresh water and WWF says abou t half of the available supply is already being used up．Dams have destroyed habitats and cut rivers off from their flood plains．while climate change could affect the seasonal water flows that feed them，the report said．Fish populations，the top source of protein and overall life support for hundreds of thousands of communities worldwide，are also being threatened, it found．The Yangtze basin is one of the most polluted rivers in the world because of decades of heavy industrialization，damming and huge influxes(流入)of seaiment(积淀)from land conversion.Climate change，including higher temperatures，also means serious consequences for fishery productivity，water supply and political security in Africa’s arid Nile basin．Tributaries(支流)flowing into the Ganges are drying up because of irrigation，WWF said．29．We can infer from the text that _____.A．higher temperatures couldn’t affect fishery productivityB．rivers’dying out could affect food securityC．there are four Asian rivers mentioned in the passageD．the Yangtze is polluted thanks to the lack of enough tributaries30．The top 10 rivers are fast dying as a result of the following EXCEPT _____.A. climate change B．pollution C．wasting water D．dams31．WWF is probably a name of _____.A．a magazine B．a newspaper C．an organization D．a reportDTwenty years ago, most experts believed that differences in how boys and girls behaved were mainly due to differences in how they were treated by their parents, teachers, and friends. It’s h ard to cling to that belief today. Recent research has shown that there are biological differences between boys and girls. Understanding these differences is important in raising and educating children.For example, girls are born with more sensitive hearing than boys, and the difference increases as kids grow up. So when a grown man speaks to a girl in what he thinks is a normal voice, she may hear it as yelling. Conversely (反过来), boys who appear to be inattentive in class may just be sitting too far away too hear the teacher.Likewise, girls are better in their expression of feelings. Studies reveal that negative emotions are seated in an area of the brain called the amygdala. Girls develop all early connection between this area and the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层), enabling them to talk about their feelings. In boys these links develop later. So if you ask a troubled adolescent boy to tell you what his feelings are, he often cannot say much.Dr. Sax, an advocate of single-sex education, points out that keeping boys and girls separate in the classroom has yielded striking educational, social, and interpersonal benefits. Therefore, parents and teachers should try to recognize, understand, and make use of the biological differences that make a girl a girl, and a boy a boy.32．What is the main idea of the passage?A. Boys tend to pay less attention in class than girls.B. Girls are better than boys in their ability to detect sounds.C. Single-sex schools are not good because they keep boys and girls separate.D. Boys and girls behave differently because of biological differences.33．Why do girls express negative feelings better than boys?A. Girls are more emotional than boys.B. The links between certain parts of the brain develop earlier in girls than in boys.C. The amygdala is located in different areas of the brain for boys and girls.D. Girls have more brain cells than boys.34．Which of the following does the author believe?A. Boys and girls should be educated in different ways.B. Girls need more training in communication.C. Parents should pay more attention to boys.D. Sex differences should be ignored in education。

ABamboo (竹子) is one of nature’s (自然) most surprising plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist reported one bamboo plant which grew 1.5 metres (4 feet) in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1, 000 kinds of bamboo.Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimetres (1 foot) across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.Bamboo has been used to make many things such as hats and kitchen tools. Because it is strong, bamboo is also used to build buildings.Many Asian countries have used bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for buildings and supporting new buildings and bridges while they are being built.In Africa, poor farmers are taught how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap way to find water because they have no money, and their crops often die from no rain and no water. Bamboo pipes help poor farmers bring water to their thirsty fields without spending a lot of money.21．How is bamboo like grass?A. It grows quickly.B. It’s wood.C. It is easy to cutD. It is very thin22．Though you can see bamboo everywhere, it doesn’t grow ______.A. in ChinaB. in EuropeC. on mountainsD. in Africa23．Why is bamboo used by African poor farmers?A.

Because it has been used by Asians.24．Bamboo pipes can ______.A. make moneyB. be treesC. grow quicklyD. carry waterBIn a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston, eight-year-old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a drip (点滴) above her to fight her bone cancer. Over her bald head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes. But the third grader’s cheery dressing didn’t mask her pain and weary eyes.Then a visitor showed u p. “Do you want to write a song?” asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microphone and speakers. Simran stared. “Have you ever written a poem?” Anita Kruse continued. “Well, yes,” Simran said.Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone“Some bird soaring through the sky,” she said softly. “Imagination in its head…” Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling (鸣,唱) birds, and finally the girl’s voice. Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song.That was the beginning of Anita Kruse’s project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more than 125 young patients write and record songs. As a composer and pianist who had performed at the hospital, Kruse said that the idea of how she could help “came in one flash”.The effect on the kids has been great. One teenage girl, curling (蜷缩) in pain in herwheelchair, stood unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written. A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin’s disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It.“My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the severity of their illnesses,” says Anita Krus e. “But they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families.”Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free. From time to time, she and her mother listen to her song, Always Remembering, and they al ways remember the “really sweet and nice and loving” lady who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour.25．Simran Jatar lay in bed in hospital because ______.A. most of her hair had fallen outB. she was receiving treatment for cancerC. she felt depressed and quit from schoolD. she was suffering from a pain in her back26．What do we know about Anita Kruse’s project?A. It helps young patients record songs.B. It is supported by singers and patients.C. It aims to replace the medical treatment.D. It offers patients chances to realize their dreams.27．What does the case of a 12-year-old boy suggest?A. Most children are naturally fond of music.B. He was brave enough to put up performance.C. The project has positive effect on young patients.D. Singing is the best way to treat some illnesses.28．What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Purple Songs Can FlyB. Singing Can Improve HealthC. A Shining Moment in LifeD. A Kind Woman—Anita KruseCYour glasses may someday replace your smartphone, and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch. Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.“I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a. m. and going to the bar and wanted t o see what was open,” said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort Greene.The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600, the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings. So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.“As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn't something anybody needs，” said Sam Biddle, who writes for . “We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things,” he added, “and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.“It's just like smartphones 10 years ago,” Weintraub said. “A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it's unnatural,” he said. “There's gonna be improvements to that, and this is a step there. "29．One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is to ____.A. program the opening hours of a barB. supply you with a picture of the futureC. provide information about your surroundingsD. update the maps and GPS in your smartphones30．The underlined phrase "pop up" in the third paragraph probably means " ____".A. develop rapidlyB. get round quicklyC. appear immediatelyD. go over automatically31．According to Sam Biddle, the smartphone-like glasses are ____.A. necessary for teenagersB. attractive to New YorkersC. available to people worldwideD. expensive for average consumers32．We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glasses ____.A. may have a potential marketB. are as common as smartphonesC. are popular among young adultsD. will be improved by a new technologyDThe baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert（警觉）. Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze （凝视）starts to lose its focus--until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise（同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.33．Babies are sensitive to the change in _______.A. the size of cardsB. the colour of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects34．Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experimentB. To see how babies recognize soundsC. To carry their experiment furtherD. To keep the babes interest.35．Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fictionB. Chi ldren’s literatureC. An advertisementD. A science report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。

AOne day, I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem, while the student claimed a perfect score. I was elected as their arbiter（仲裁人）. I read the examination problem: “Show how it is possibl e to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer（气压计）. ”The student had answered; "Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of it is the height of the building.”The student had really answered the question completely, but the answer didn't confirm his competence in physics. I suggested the student try again. I gave him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. Five minutes later, he said he had many answers and dashed off one, which read：“Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, use the physical formula（公式）to calculate the height of the building.”At this point, my colleague had to accept it, and then the student made almost full marks.I couldn't help asking the student what the other answers were. He listed many others, and then added, "Probably the best is to take the barometer to the administrator and said to him, ‘Sir, here is a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of the building, I will give it to you.”, Then, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.The name of the student was Bohr who later was famous all over the world. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.1. The student got a zero at the beginning because _____.A. the teacher wasn't satisfied with himB. his answer wasn't complete or correctC. the teacher didn't fully understand his answerD. his answer didn't show his knowledge of physics2. We know from the passage that _____.A. the student knew the expected answerB. the administrator told Bohr the heightC. the author preferred Bohr's last answerD. the teacher was a very stubborn person3. We can learn from the passage that _____.A. instructors can teach students how to thinkB. arbiters can help students to get high scoresC. students should be given more freedom in thinkingD. teachers should make students use physical formulas4. What was Bohr's attitude toward his schooling?A. OptimisticB. CriticalC. ApprovingD. NeutralBRecordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives (蜂窝)—either recorded or real—may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer’s crops.In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on theirfarms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next，Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family.From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn’t te sted enough groups yet to know, but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.5. We know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of .A. loud noisesB. some cropsC. video camerasD. angry bees6. As mentioned in the passage, Lucy .A. works by herself in AfricaB. needs to test more elephant groupsC. has stopped elephants eating cropsD. has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms7. Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive?A. To record the sound of bees.B. To make a video of elephants.C. To see if elephants would run away.D. To find out more about the behavior of bees.8. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Young elephants ignore African honeybees.B. Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.C. Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them.D. Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.CProudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America.I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started th e American Revolution.” The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartilyinto my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!9. What did the author’s classmates think about his report?A. interestingB. ridiculous.C. boring.D. puzzling.10. Why was the author confused about the task?A. He was unfamiliar with American history.B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin.C. He forgot his teacher’s instruction.D. He was new at the school.11. The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means _______.A. annoyedB. ashamedC. readyD. eager12. In the end, the author turned things around _______.A. by redoing his taskB. through his own effortsC. with the help of his grandfatherD. under the guidance of his headmasterDI believe that my country，Poland，is a perfect example for a place where food is particularly important. When we were little children, we began to understand how much a loaf of bread meant to our parents—to some it might sound silly but for me the custom of kissing bread before you started cutting it was simply amazing. It’s not so common nowadays to treat food that way，since you hardly ever bake your own bread. Besides, everyone would call you crazy if you tried to kiss every bread roll before you ate them! But though we no longer make our food from scratch (起点), some customs have been kept—that’s why I feel so sorry every time I have to throw any food away—even though I no longer live with my parents and nobody would blame me for this anymore!Many people of our nation are still working as farmers, eating what they grow and harvest and therefore enjoying everything more. It’s widely known that you value more anything that needs your effort in the first place. In most homes in Poland, especially those of farmers, the whole family would try and have their meals together—extremely difficult now, but so rewarding! You can share other members’ troubles and successes, give your children some attention, or just sit down for a moment, instead of rushing through life aimlessly. Furthermore, your body，and stomach in particular will be very grateful for such a time!In Poland, a wedding，Christmas or even a birthday is celebrated with a great meal. Women in the house get together and cook ,sometimes for a few days before the event，and the extremely good or unusual food will be remembered and widely talked about.You cannot over-value the importance of food in the country. What’s more, almost everyone in Poland will be as interested in the topic as I am.13. When the writer was a child, he/she _______.A. found people were crazy about breadB. began to realize the importance of foodC. thought that cutting bread was amazingD. learned people hardly baked their own bread14. The writer feels very sorry when he/she has to throw away any food because___________.A. he/she makes food from scratchB. his/her parents would blame him/herC. some customs still have effect on him/herD. many people are still working hard as farmers15. From the text, we can learn that, in Poland, ________.A. most meals can be interesting topics for a long timeB. the whole family often have meals together nowadaysC. it’s common for women to get together to cook for a few daysD. family members can know more about each other by having meals together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。

AExcept for the Indians, the earliest backpackers in America were frontiersmen（边民），who traveled the wilderness looking either for necessities such as food and water or for sources of wealth such as fur and gold For them backpacking was a way of survival or a means of achieving what one day would be called the "American Dream".Today, however, many people enjoy backpacking as an entertaining activity. Shouldering a pack and leaving behind the world of telephone, television and traffic promise an exciting experience. Testing one's stamina（耐力）and skills is challenging, and regaining a sense of one's place in the natural world can be rewarding.Moreover, backpacking is an activity that can last any length of time and can be enjoyed alone or with friends. Then too, a backpacking trip may be organized within a day or two. The backpacker and his friends have only to decide on their destination and then organize the all-important equipment, whose contents they must depend on the trip. A map, a compass, a flashlight, along with food, and extra clothing can be found without much difficulty. Once the backpackers have left word about where they go in a note on the refrigerator door or in a message on an answering machine, they can look forward to an adventure that will lift the spirit and promote the soul. Their outing will enable them to return in a short time to the age of technology with the courage and independence of Natty Bumppo , who did indeed belong to the age of the frontier.21.

On the way, a laborer stopped the taxi. The driver saw his clothes and asked him whether he had money to pay the fare. The laborer shook his head and said, "No". On hearing this, the driver refused to take him I remembered my own dilemma a few minutes earlier, and I told the driver to allow him to sit with us, as I would pay his fare_ What an immediate opportunity to pass on the family's act of kindness! That night, I felt lightness in my heart, and I went to sleep happily and filled with joy about what I had gotten to do.

The laser beam scanner(激光扫描器) is the first device that can find the sometimes deadly disease without going inside the body. The test is painless, which does not need blood from a person, and appears to he right every time it is done.The newly developed device only needs a person to place a finger on a laser device. Doctor Dmitri Lopotko, a researcher at Rice University in Houston, Texas. "We shine with a laser beam scanner very short light pulse through the skin. And this light pulse is absorbed only by malaria parasites(寄生虫) because of the wavelength we use. And in response to this short light pulse, the parasite gradually explodes," he said. The light pulse comes from a low-powered laser. It has less power than a laser point. It shines on the hemozoin (疟原虫色素) which is produced by the malaria parasite once it has infected red blood cells. Hemozoin crystals （晶体） are not found in red cells that are not infected with malaria. As the crystals are heated by the laser, they create small bubbles inside inf'ected cells Doctor Lopotko says the bubbles exploded, and then make a sound that scientists can hear and count. "You can find just a few infected cells in a million normal cells," he said. Doctor Lopotko says when researchers tested the device, it was never wrong. And itwas able to find malaria infection early when treatment is very important.The device can be carried and uses its batteries. It costs about 10,000 t0 20,000 dollars t。

AAccording to the US government, wind farms off the Pacific coast could produce 900 gigawatts of electricity every year. Unfortunately, the water there is far too deep for even the tallest windmills to touch bottom. An experiment under way off the coast of Norway, however, could help put them anywhere.The project, called Hywind, is the world’s first large-scale deepwater wind turbine (涡轮发电机). Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton, 2. 3-megawatt turbine, Hywind represents totally new technology. The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar, a technology Hywind’s creator, the Norwegian company StatoilHydro, has developed recently. The steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cables ; these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves. Hywind’s stability in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. If all goes according to the plan, the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern Norway as early as September.To produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than Hywind does, but it’s difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a floating spar in the middle of the ocean. To make that turbine heavier, the whole spar’s center of gravity must be moved much closer to the ocean’s surface. To do that, the company plans to design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gearbox (变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades.Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted. Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objection. If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the plan et’s surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available.1. The Hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stability of .A. the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floorB. the spar which is floating in deep-sea waterC. the blades driven by strong and steady sea windD. the stones filled in the spar below the sea surface2.To balance a bigger turbine high on a floating spar, a new type of turbine is to be designedwith its gearbox sitting .A. on the sea floorB. on the spar topC. at sea levelD. behind the blades3. Wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can .A. solve the technical problems of deepwater windmillsB. make financial profits by producing more turbinesC. settle the arguments about environmental problemsD. explore low-carbon power resources available at seaBMark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father's wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you've been playing with his new computer.”Jason said，“He told us not to touch it.”“He won't find out，” Mark said，“I'll just have a quick look and shut it down.” Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.It was a strangelooking machine—one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked.“It's an experimental mode l，” his father had explained，“so don't touch it under any circumstances.” But his father's warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought，Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later，the screen turned into colors，shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the center of the screen：“SPACE TRANSPORTER.”“Yes！” Mark cried excitedly，“It's a computer game. I knew it！Dad's only been pretending to work. He's really been playing games instead.” A new message appeared on the screen：“ENTER NAMESVOYAGER 1：...VOYAGER 2：...”Mark's fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.“INPUT ACCEPTED.START TRANSPORT PROGRAM. AUTORETRIEVE INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动)．”The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.“I think we'd better shut it off，Mark，” Jason yelled，reaching forthe power switch. He was really frightened.But his hand never reached the switch. A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen，wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen，the letters changed.“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL.DESTINATION: MARS.RETRIEVE DATE：2025.”4．Why did Mark touch the computer against his father's warning?A．He wanted to take a voyage. B．He wanted to practice his skill.C．He was so much attracted by it. D．He was eager to do an experiment.5．Where did the boys' father most likely work?A．In an electronic factory. B．In a computer company. C．In a scientific research center. D．In an information processing center.6．Mark thought “SPACE TRANSPORTER” on the screen was the name of ________.A．a computer game B．a company websiteC．a software producer D．an astronomy program 7．Why did Jason want to shut off the computer?A．He was afraid of being scolded. B．He didn't like the loud noise and light.C．He didn't want to play games any more.D．He was afraid something dangerous might happen.CResearchers from France and Italy discovered that Canadian parents are less strict with their children than mothers and fathers in France and Italy.“Our most important finding was the difference between Canadians and the others，” said Professor Michel Claes，the lead author of the study.“Canadians focus on independ ence and negotiation. On the other hand，Italians，for example，exercise more control. We found Canadians seem to focus on negotiation in case of a conflict.”Claes said Canada，France and Italy were selected for the study because they share important cultu ral and social factors.“We choseFrenchCanadians because they share the same language as France，and originally came from France and share certain values. Italy was included because it was considered to have similar，strong and important family values，” he explained.The researchers examined the emotional ties between parents and their children by questioning 1,256 students aged 11 to 19 years old.Canadian students reported less control and more free actions，according to the study. Italian parents were stricter and French parentswere somewhere in the middle.Claes explains that the differences lie in education in Canada，France and Italy.“Nor th America has its own educational values，which promote individualization. Tolerance and comprehension are encouraged. Italy，on the other hand，promotes respect of authority，control，and the need for permission.” he said.Children from all three countries described their mothers as warm and communicative. Italian and Canadian children had similar feelings about their fathers，and reported high levels of emotional ties. But French fathers were generally thought by their children to be more distant and cold.“We were surprised by this，” Claes admitted.“It seems as though the relationships between French mothers and their children were becoming closer over time，while fathers maintain a form of distance and coldness，which is more of a source of conflict in France than in the other countries.”8．Professor Michel Claes believes that Canada，France and Italy________.A．have the same family spiritB．have some similar cultural traditionsC．have experienced some similar social changes D．have experienced similar cultural developments9．How did the researchers carry out the study ?A．By collecting answers of parents from Canada，France and Italy. B．By collecting answers of children from Canada，France and Italy. C．By questioning parents and their children from Italian Canadian families.D．By questioning children from FrenchCanadian families.10. According to Michel Claes，what mainly leads to the differences in parentchildrenrelationships among Canada，France and Italy?A．Educational opportunities. B．Traditional ideas. C．Educational values. D．Historical events. 11．Which of the following is NOT a finding of the study?A．French children have troubled relationships with their parents. B．Canadian children have close relationships with their parents. C．Italian children have good relationships with their parents.D．Kids from Canada，France and Italy have closer ties with their moms.DAn idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but theidea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.The only problem arose in New York ,where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself. Ultinatelas Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.12. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage people to read and share.C. To involve people in community service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.13. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A .They had little interest in reading.B. They were too busy to read a book.C. They came from many different backgroundsD. They lacked support from the local government14. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?A. In large communities with little sense of unityB. In large cities where libraries are far from homeC. In medium-sized cities with a diverse populationD. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached15. According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged byA. the careful selection of a proper bookB. the growing popularity of the writersC. the number of people who benefit from reading.D. the number of books that each person reads.第二节七选五填空 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AEating at a slow speed may help reduce hunger, the U.S. researchers said on Monday. Previous research suggests that the ability to control energy intake may be affected by the speed at which we eat, and a high eating rate may damage the relationship between the sensory signals and processes that control how much we eat.In order to learn more about the link between eating speed and energy intake, researchers examined how eating speed affects calories consumed during a meal in both normal-weight subjects as well as overweight or obese subjects.In the new study, a group of normal-weight subjects and a group of overweight or obese subjects were asked to consume two meals in a controlled environment. All subjects ate one meal slowly, took small bites, chewed thoroughly, and paused and put the spoon down between bites, and ate a second meal quickly, took large bites, chewed quickly, and did not pause and put the spoon down.At the conclusion of the study, the researchers found onlynormal-weight subjects had a statistically significant reduction in caloric consumptio n by eating slowly. “A lack of statistical significance in the overweight and obese group may be partly due to the fact that they consumed less food during both eating conditions compared to the normal-weight subjects,” Professor Meena Shah said, “it is possible that the overweight and obese subjects felt more self-conscious, and thus ate less during the study.”Despite the differences in caloric consumption between thenormal-weight and overweight and obese subjects, the study found some similarities. Both groups felt less hungry later on after the slow meal than after the fast meal, which indicates that greater hunger suppression （抑制）among both groups could be expected from a meal consumed more slowly. Also, both the normal-weight and overweight or obese groups consumed more water during the slow meal. “The higher water intake during the slow eating condition may have affected food consumption,” said Shah. According to Shah, slowing the speed of eating may help suppress hunger levels and “may even improve the enjoyment of a meal”.The findings were published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.21. What does the previous study have in common with the new one?A. There is a link between eating speed and energy intake.B. Eating at a slow speed may help feel hungry.C. Eating too fast may damage your stomach.D. Eating rate may affect processes controlling how much we eat.22. What should the subjects do during the research?A. Both groups could totally eat the meals at any speed as they liked.B. Both groups had to consume one meal in controlled eating conditions.C. Both groups were asked to eat one meal slowly while the other quickly.D. One group should eat slowly while the other one quickly.23. What caused the lack of statistically significant reduction in the overweight and obese group?A. They were told not to eat a lot.B. In the study they had no appetite to eat.C. They lost consciousness in the study.D. They ate less food on purpose.24. What is the passage mainly about?A. New research findings about how to control eating rate.B. A study about the link between eating speed and energy intake.C. One may feel less hungry later on after the slow meal than after the fast meal.D. Water intake may have affected food consumption.BCleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy –they’re given after all. Choices can be hard.I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I’d been a garage inventor. I’d always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light,it really was a difficult choice, but finally, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing.

Bad words, such as “you little fool” and the like, served as a daily meal for the youngest.The words and curses he got from the mother and ridicule from friends convinced him that he was distressing and embarrassing his family. Every morning he woke up with his own face staring from the mirror reflection, he st arted to say quietly and sadly, “The fool is going to school.”As adult citizens, there was compulsory military service which should be lived. Thus, the youngest son also signed up and started to follow the various tests: a medical, physical ability test and other tests. Onthe day of the announcement, he was called into the board of examiners.In his mind, he convinced himself that he was the fool and couldn’t pass the tests this time as he entered the room with his head down. It was not expected at all. The tests turned out to have the highest praise from the board of examiners.“Congratulations, young man! Your test results are incredible! You are really a great and talented young man. ”Words from the board of examiners became the discovery of a new side of himself that was not known in advance. Voice kept echoing in his mind, such as “I, the great man, am in the shower”, “The great man washes his face”, “The talented young man again brushes his teeth” and so on. Confidence and improved self-image came beyond usual.20 years later, the youngest established himself as a successful businessman who was admired and respected, and received many awards.The mindset and belief are the power behind the success that is within us.

AFor six hours we: shot through the landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I’d bought in a market in Mozambique.Southern Africa was full of stories. And visions. We were almost drank on sensations. The roaring of the at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometre from clean water.As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty—we hadn’t seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving next to me. I glanced in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was when I saw them. Next to us, by the side of the road, thirty, forty wild horses were racing the car, a cloud of dust rising behind them—brown, muscular horses almost close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn’t know how long they had been there next to us.I shouted to Dan: “Look!”, but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car fora few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.“Wild horses?” he said. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”“I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds.”“Are you sure you didn’t dream it?”“You were the one who was sleeping!”“Typical,” he said. “The best photos are the ones we never take.”We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.21. During their journey in Africa, the two travelers ________.A. made friends with local residentsB. recorded their experiences in different waysC. enjoyed the sunset in the Karoo desert mostD. complained about the poor living conditions22. What does the phrase “heroic forms” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Wild horses.B. Racing ears.C. Eye-catching locals.D. Running dogs.23. What did Daniel think when he woke up and was told what had happened?A. A sound sleep was more important.B. He had already taken beautiful pictures.C. He always missed out on the best thing.D. The next trip would be better.24. What’s the passage mainly ab out?A. How to view wildlife in Africa.B. Possible dangers of travelling in the desert.C. Tourist attractions in southern Africa.D. Running into wildlife in Africa.BCold, snowy days are calling your kids outdoors. Find fun winter activities for the slopes, trails, ice rink, and backyard for children of all ages. Remember to go over the knowledge of winter sports safety. Have the hot cocoa ready when everyone comes back inside!SkiingDownhill and cross-country skiing are family favorites during the winter months. Some children start skiing as young as age 2 or 3, but the best age is probably about 5, when kids are more coordinated （协调的）and less afraid of falling. Young downhill skiers can hit the bunny slopes or green circle trails but should have an adult with them. Ski lessons can help your child learn the ropes. It’s wise to wear a helmet in case of falls or collisions.SnowboardingAs with skiing, little ones can start snowboarding young, but few children try before age 5 or 6. Snowboarding is most popular among teens because they have the strength and skills to stay uptight and try more tricks. Lessons and safety equipment, including a helmet, knee pads, wrist guards, and hip pads, are suggested because snowboarders of all ages have their share of falls.Snow Angels[]Soft snow? Cheek. Snow suit? Cheek. That’s all the gear kids of any age need to lie down and create a snow angel just like they would do a jumping jack. Make this simple activity extra fun by using materials to decorate your angel, such as food coloring to draw on a face, and old clothes to dress it up. Why should snowmen have all the fun?Ice Skating[]This slippery activity will be tricky for newcomers. But once they get the hang of it, they might get lost. Age 4 or 5 is a nice time to begin skating or take lessons. Most children wear figure skates or hockey skates to start out. After they get more into skating, they can try the sports ofspeed skating, ice dancing, figure skating, or hockey. Have beginners wear a helmet, and offer them a hand to help with balance.25. Alice likes snow very much but hates danger, which orthe following suits her?A. Skiing.B. Snowboarding.C. Snow Angels.D. Ice Skating.26. Which of the following seems to be a must in most snow-related activities?A. Knee padsB. Hip pads.C. Wrist guards.D. Helmet.27. From the above passage we can learn that ________.A. ice skating may be a bit difficult for beginnersB. being good at ice skating takes no timeC. ice skating is more difficult than speed skatingD. beginners of ice skating does not necessarily wear a helmetCFor most teachers, a day never seems long enough to getall the planning, teaching or paper correcting done. Parent volunteers, if available, can do a lot of help.Teachers can benefit from such help. New books can be marked Computers can be turned on or shut off properly. Teaching equipment can be cleaned and stored away. The listof jobs that parent volunteers can do is endless. Some schools even provide a coordinator to introduce these volunteers to teachers.It is important to make sure volunteers feel useful andare given a variety of tasks to do. When a volunteer realizes there is no real contribution to make, he or she will not come back. Sometimes being given too many boring repetitive tasks drives volunteers away, too.A teacher who wants to use the service of volunteers successfully should give time to the planning of tasks. Makea list of possible tasks for the volunteer to do. The taskscan be kept in a notebook. Information such as class schedule, names of students and school rules could also be included in the notebook. When the volunteer arrives, the teacher may not immediately have an opportunity to explain tasks. The volunteer can then check the notebook and pick a job on his or her own decision.It is obvious that the class benefits from having adults. Children often behave better with the volunteer near them. Some volunteers work one-on-one with children or with small groups, helping children get needed attention. The volunteer can complete paper correcting or other tasks listed above, freeing the teacher for more teaching time.Meanwhile, parent volunteers do need to understand that any information about children is to remain confidential. They should be coached on appropriate methods in a school system. They especially need to be careful of what they say.28. The first two paragraphs imply that ________.A. teachers should ask parents for help in classB. parent volunteers are really needed in schoolC. parents are available to teachers ha most schoolsD. being a parent volunteer is popular in many schools29. In order to keep parent volunteers interested, ________.A. a coordinator is necessary in every schoolB. teachers shouldn’t give them premising tasksC. schools should pay them for their good servicesD. tasks given to them should be considered carefully30. Why should a teacher list possible tasks in a notebook?A. Parent volunteers are interested in the tasks listed.B. It is helpful for parents to get involved in their jobs quickly.C. The teacher wants parent volunteers to choose jobs on their own.D. It is necessary for parent volunteers to know all the tasks to do in class.31. Which of the following statements is True according to the text?A. Parents can enter any classroom if they like.B. Parent volunteers shouldn’t ask for special training.C. Any information about children should be kept secret.D. Parent volunteers can help all children get needed attention.DMy daughter is three-and-a-haft years old, but has been speaking in full sentences since she was 18 months old—children usually start connecting words fluently between the ages of two and three. She now has the language skills of a five-year-old and happily tells long stories, using different tenses.So why is my child so precocious（超常）? Well, I believe her remarkable gift is down to my great friend and language expert, Nicola Lathey. When Minnie was just ten weeks old, Nicola came to meet her. Nicola said to me, “Minnie is very chatty. We’ve just been having a lovely long conversation.” Then she showed me how she was keeping eye contact and waiting for Minnie to make a noise. When Minnie paused, Nicola would utter something about the same length back to her, pause again, look at Minnie and wait for her to respond. She went back and forth in this way for about five minutes. Apparently, this is an early form of conversation.In fact, Nicola told me that Minnie would have been able to start talking with me like this from around four weeks. Not only that, but babies even start learning language in theWomb too. So, we should begin chatting to our baby, while looking into their eyes, as soon as they are born. The earlier we talk to them, the more in tune with our language they’ll be and the quicker they’l l learn it. The sooner you get started, the better.Researchers studied the impact of a child’s early environment（before they are two）on their language, and found that children whose parents talked to them a lot at home went on to achieve higher scores in tests of languages, reading and maths when they entered school. So by giving your child the gift of conversation, you really are giving them the best possible start in life.32. Why does the author mention her daughter Minnie in Para. 1 ?A. To introduce the theme by an example.B. To show a very happy life with a daughter.C. To persuade people to protect children’s gifts.D. To talk about the development of children.33. According to Ms Nicola Lathey, ________.A. any child has their own advantagesB. Minnie is lucky to receive training on language skillsC. parents should spend more time with their kidsD. it’s better to start talking with children at an early age34. Which statement is NOT tree, according to the text?A. Parents can have a big impact on how children learn to talk.B. Giving children the gift of conversation will boost their brainpower for life.C. There’s no need to push children to learn languages when they’re young.D. The better children are talking before two, the better they’ll do when starting school.35. Who would be most interested in the text?A. Parents to be.B. Parents with teenagers.C. Teachers at primary school.D. The young baby-sitters.第二节：补全短文（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。

AWhen your parents advise 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 nationalproduct, 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 toturn 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 source 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 meansof meeting a country’s demands for technical workersB. a way to broaden one’s horizonsC. more important than finding a jobD. an opportunity that everyone should haveBMetro Pocket GuideMetrorail (地铁)Each passenger needs a farecard to enter and go out .Up to two childrenunder age five may travel free with a paying customer .Farecard machines are in every station .Bring small bills because thereare no change machines in the stations and farecard machines only provideup to $5 in change.Get one ticket of unlimited Metrorail rides with aOne Day Pass .Buy it from a farecard machine in Metro stations .Use itafter 9:30 a,m. until closing on weekdays , and all day on weekends andholidays .Hours of serviceOpen 5a.m Mon-Fri 7a.m Sat-SunOpen midnight Sun-Thur.Last train times vary .Train times Posted in stationsMetrobusWhen paying with exact charge , the fare is $1.35.When paying with a SmarTripⓇcard , the fare is 1.25.Senior citizens 65 and older and disabled customers may ride for half the regular fare .On Metrorail and Metrobus , use a senior/disabled farecard or SmarTrip Ⓡ card .For more information about buying senior/disabled farecard , SmarTripⓇcards and passes , please visit MetroOpensDoors .com or call 202-637-7000and 202-637-8000.Senior citizens and disabled customers can get free guide on how to use proper Metrobus and Metrorall services by calling 202-962-1100.

Now the family are trying to work out if the letter has managed the extraordinary journey across the Philippine Sea, into the Indian Ocean and through both the South Atlantic and the North Atlantic Ocean’s before washing up on the shores of Great Britain. It was written on Chinese Valentine’s Day or Qixi Festival as it is more traditionally known, lunar July 7, 2012, so it sent off as recently as six days ago because it followed the modern calendar, which celebrated the occasion on August 23. Nicola was still excited to read about the Chinese love story after having it translated.“I really do hope that it is from China but even it is from nearer to home, it’s still a lovely gesture and an inspiring find. It’s a love story regardless of where it came from. Nicola, who runs a beach art business in Portobello, added, “I’m always at the beach looking for bits of driftwood b ut I’ve never come across anything like this before. We knew it was Chinese, but we had no idea what it said.”Unable to read the Mandarin text, Nicola turned to the internet and her Australian friend, Julie Gould, whose daughter attended a Chinese school in Sydney.Several hours later Julie returned with the news that it was in fact a love letter.The translated letter reads, “Da Hai(Ocean), I hope no-one will get this bottle, as we just wish you can hear our voice, and get your blessing. Today is the Chin ese Valentine’s Day, we pray that our relationship will last forever and we will have a long happy life together…”Nicola said, “It sounds to me like the couple are in love but cannot be together so they have sent the message to tell the world of their lov e.”8．When did Nicola and her daughter come across the message-in-bottle?A. On July 15, 2012.B. On August 29, 2012.C. On August 31, 2012.D. On September 2, 2012.9．What were Nicola and her daughter probably doing when they found the bottle?A. They were walking on the beach.B.
