B In the latter half of the dreadful month of burning heat in May, I was overjoyed to undertake a social task. However, it soon turned into a sudden feeling of being doubtful of the idea of participating in a great cause. The thought of working for a state government’s Ministry of Women and Child Welfare project led me to challenge my own potential of enriching the chi ldren’s lives. It struck me that regardless of the contribution to the lives of some 42 orphan girls, who had undergone countless painful experiences in their childhood, it was more important and convincing to at least try and be able to change their lives in some small way. Our guide put huge faith in me and, therefore, assigned me the new task of directing an- other team of 8 boys. As days passed by, my team of boys told their individual life stories and what followed was not a feeling of sympathy but an admiration and respect for their enduring nature of still loving life as it came and facing it with great courage. Teaching them about various general life skills made up the most part of the social task. I gradually started realizing people’s power of giv ing back to the society. There is no doubt that both evil and good exist but it was necessary to tell these boys about how they can not only survive but do well in their lives in this cruelly competitive world. I am glad I could fill this aspect of life in them.

The typical British employees can expect to spend about £34,000 during their whole working life on the daily costs of being in the office, including tea runs and leaving gifts for colleagues, according to research.
A survey of 2,000 office workers across the UK found that the combined cost of Christmas parties and dinners, cards and presents, coffees and teas, sponsorship (赞助) requests, Secret Santa and etc. totaled about £850 a year. Over the course of a 40-year career, that would amount to about £34,000, according to Nationwide Current Account, which carried out the survey.

Alan Oliver, Nationwide’s head of external affairs, said, “Working in an office can be an expensive business, especially in big teams.

Missing out on deep sleep can leave you feeling slow-acting and sensitive in the morning, but the consequences don’t necessarily end there. Over time, too little deep sleep may also do harm to your heart by contributing to high blood pressure, a new study suggests.
Healthy young and middle-aged adults spend about 25 percent of their sleeping hours in the stages known as deep sleep. This sleep stage has been shown to be important for memory and other mental performance. The new study adds to the growing evidence that deep sleep is also essential to our metabolism (新陈代谢) and heart health.
The research should be considered “exploratory”, and it doesn’t prove a direct link between sleep patterns and high blood pressure. But it suggests that an important aspect of successful aging is the preservation of good sleep quality”. Older people tend to get less deep sleep as they age, find fighting this natural decline —through healthy sleep habits, for example—could be an “extraordinarily important strategy” for heading off high blood pres sure.
Sleep problems have been linked to high blood pressure before. Sleep apnoea, a disorder in which a person wakes up struggling for breath time and time again, is strongly linked to high blood pressure, though it’s not clear whether the disorder causes high blood pressure.
Susan Redline, a professor of sleep medicine, says going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, especially keeping away from alcohol and tobacco before going to bed and other good “sleep hygiene (卫生)” can help people sleep lo nger.
However, the researchers followed the men’s sleep only on a single nights, and they likewise measured blood pressure just once or twice. Therefore, the study failed to rule out factors besides sleep quality, such as diet or medical conditions, which may independently contribute to high blood pressure. More research will be needed to address these shortcomings, the study notes. Nor is it clear whether habitual sleep loss has long-term effects on overall sleep quality and deep sleep.
12．What effect does lack of deep sleep have on people?
A. Their hearts stop functioning.
B. Their metabolism always accelerates.
C. They are less easily hurt in body and spirit.
D. They may perform worse physically and mentally.
13．What does the underlined w ord “apnoea” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Habit.
B. Medicine.
C. A condition where somebody stops breathing temporarily.
D. A disease which somebody suffers from because of overwork.
14．Which of the following is typically good sleep hygiene according to the text?
A. Getting up soon after waking up.
B. Going to bed early by taking sleep medicine.
C. Avoiding alcohol and tobacco before bedtime.
D. Trying to sleep as long as possible every day.
15．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Major findings of the study.
B. Some limitations of the study.
C. Different factors affecting sleep quality.
D. Some possible causes of high blood pressure.
二、七选五
Today, the trend in music production is shifting more and more toward home studios. 16．. Do you want to know how music actually is recorded indoors?
17．
Today, we use a more complex process known as multitrack recording where each instrument is recorded separately and combined later in a “mix”. With this new method, it meant that one man could do alone what used to require an entire team of engineers and musicians.
The editing process
Now that you’ve finished recording your tracks, it’s time to clean them up. The reason is that there will always be some mistakes that can be fixed, no matter how careful you were in the last step. 18．. They’re arrangement, comping (伴奏), noise reduction, time editing and pitch (高音) editing.
The mixing process
Once the tracks are arranged, the next goal is to make them combine as one connected unit, which is called the process of “mixing”. 19．. There are certain fundamental tasks that everyone does. One task is balancing faders, which is done so that no instrument sounds too loud or soft.
The mastering process
Before your song is ready to be mastered, all tracks must be “re-recorded” down to a sin gle stereo file, as we commonly know. Once that’s done, various mastering techniques are used to put the finishing touches on your song. 20．And if you don t know what you’re doing, you can easily make things worsen rather than better.
A. The recording process
B. The combining process
C. To put it simply, mastering is hard
D. Typically, editing is made up of five common tasks
E. Mixing is an art form in itself and can be done in many ways
F. Editing is the most important part in the process of music production
G. Great music is being produced in bedrooms or garages by normal folks like you and me

四、语法填空
Socrates was a famous philosopher in ancient Greece. However, extremely little is known about his early life. It was not the custom for people in those days 41．(write) much of anything.

Socrates was once a soldier in the Athenian army. These soldiers had to buy 43．(they) own armors (盔甲). 44．he wasn’t rich, he must have had some money to buy that armor. He also 45．(fight) in several major battles in the Peloponnesian War.
When he grew older, however, he came to hate money and what it did to people.
He seems to have spent most of his time in the marketplace, discussing all 46．(sort) of things. That could partly explain 47．he was poor; he wasn’t making 48．living. The thing he liked to do most was to ask people fundamental questions, like “What is justice?” or “What is 49．(true)?” To the answers the people gave, Socrates would add more questions, until a logical case could be made that the people knew far less than they thought they did about things.
