The tobacco used to make cigarettes was grown in what is now part of the United States. Christopher Columbus, who discovered America, saw the Indians smoking, and soon the dried leaves were transported to Europe where smoking began to catch on. In the late 1800s, the Turk(土耳其人) made cigarettes even popular.Cigarettes smoke contains at least two harmful substances, tar and nicotine. Tar, which forms as the tobacco burns, damages the lungs and therefore affects breathing. Nicotine, which is found in the leaves, causes the heart to beat faster and increases breathing rate.Smoking cigarettes is dangerous. The U.S. Public Health Service stated that cigarette smoking is the cause of lung cancers and several other deadly diseases. The U.S. government now requires that each package of cigarettes bear（带有）a special warning about the danger of smoking.41.

King, the family dog, was trying to pull her out of bed.Then she smelled smoke and heard the sound of fire from her parent's room. Pearl's screams awaked her mother， Fern and father, Howard, who had recently been in hospital for lung disease. Helping Howard to a first-floor window, Fern told him to climb out, then ran to her daughter.Still inside, King appeared at Pearl's window, making squeaking (短促尖叫) sounds. When running toward Pearl's bedroom, Fern realized her husband hadn't yet escaped. She made her way back through the smoke and flames, following King's sound to where Howard lay semiconscious (半昏迷) on the floor. Fern helped him get outside. King came out only after both were safe.As day dawned, the Carlsons saw that King's paws were badly burned, and his entire body was burned too. His chain collar had gotten so hot that it burned his throat, making it impossible for him to bark (叫) normally. Only after the seven-year-old dog refused food did they find pieces of wood in his mouth and realize that King, who slept outside, had bitten through a wood door to warn his family.45. Who was King in this story?A. The family soreB. The family daughter.C. The family dog.D. The master.46. According to the story, the first one who was completely out of danger could be .A. HowardB. FernC. Pearl and FernD. Pearl47. After reading this story, we've learnt that the following statements could be reasonableexcept .A. the dog made a big hole in the doorB. the dog awoke mother firstC. the dog was the last one to escape from the burning roomD. the dog was badly burned , hurt and not able to eat48. From this story it can be inferred that .A. Pearl loves her parents very muchB. Howard is the best man of the familyC. the woman loves her children more deeply than her husbandD. the dog is man's best friendLife is difficult.But life is no longer difficult once we truly understand and accept it.Most don’t fully see this truth. Instead, they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that their difficulties stand for a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or upon their family, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is painful. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness, loneliness, regret, anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings , often as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems , life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure .When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said,“Those things that hurt, instruct(teach).” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.49. From the passage, it can be inferred that______.A. not everybody has problems.B. We become stronger by facing and solving problems in life.C. life is difficult because our problems bring us pain.D. people like to complain about their problems.50. The writer uses just one short sentence in the first paragraph probably to _______.A. save spaceB. persuade readersC. make readers laughD. get readers’ attention51. According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to ______.A. encourage them to learnB. make them sufferC. help them to deal with painD. help them to understand life is difficult52. By“Those things that hurt, instruct(teach).” Benjamin Franklinsuggests that_____.A.we don’t learn from experienceB.we don’t learn when we are in painC.pain teaches us important lessonsD.pain is unforgetable.DThe following are the world-renewed attractions（迷人地方）in London, so don’t miss them while touring there.Shakespeare’s GlobeShakespeare’s Globe, which officially opened in 1997, is a recon struction of the Globe Theatre, built in 1599, and brings Shakespeare’s world to life.

Exam day came, and I was extremely 21 . when the exam started, I noticed that everyone was focused—everyone 22 me and the guy next to me.An hour later, I still hadn’t 23 a word. That guy next to me had left the exam room, 24 the exam, which meant he would fail. I started to panic and think about what was going to happen if I 25 again. At that time, I heard one little voice in my head. It said, “If I fail the exam, then I will fail this 26. If I fail this course, I will be 27 to move back home and work at a 28, but I wonder i f there are any good jobs I could get. ” I glanced up at the 29. It was halfway through the exam.It was at that 30 that I suddenly realized something. An image of my 31 flashed into my head.“Steve, you’ll be 32. You’ve spent much time preparing for this exam, ” he 33 me the previous night. “If youwere able to do the assignments(作业)”，you’ll be able to do this exam.That was when things began to turn for the 34. After that, I started to ask myself 35 questions. I’ve done this before, so why couldn’t I d o it now? I kept 36 what my roommate had said until that tiny weak voice grew into a loud 37 voice in my mind. Suddenly, everything became 38 and I started writing. I began with the first question and then continued to the next. I completed the entire exam 39.Weeks later I received my 40 and I had passed. It was better than working at a gas station.21.

B ut the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a. m. if you want to.I know lots of women who skip breakfast （不吃早餐）, and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it .Some say they don’t have time. others think they’re “saving” calo ries （卡路里）, still others just don’t like breakfast food.But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” say s Katherine Brooking , R , D , who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.So eat something in the morning. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers. It may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.41. The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means__________.A. food remaining after a mealB. things left undoneC. meals made of vegetablesD. pizza topped with fruit42. What can we infer from the text?A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.D. Eating vegetables helps save energy.43. According to the last paragraph, it is important to____________.A. eat something for breakfastB. be careful about what you eatC. heat up food before eating itD. eat calorie-controlled food44. The text is written mainly for those_____________.A. who go to work earlyB. who want to lose weightC. who stay up lateD. who eat before sleepBHaving a husband means an extra seven hours of housework each week for women, according to a new study.For men, getting married saves an hour of housework a week. “It’s a well-known pattern,” said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research. “Men usually work more outside the home, while women take on more of the housework. ”He points out that differences among households（家庭）exist. But in general, marriage means more housework for wom en and less for men. “And the situation gets worse for women when they have children,” Stafford said.Overall, times are changing in the American home. In 1976, women busied themselves with 26 weekly hours of sweeping-and-dusting work, compared with 17 hours in . Men are taking on more housework, more than doubling their housework hours from six in 1976 to 13 in .Single women in their and 30s did the least housework, about 12 weekly hours, while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most-about 21 hours a week.Men showed a somewhat different pattern, with older men picking up the broom more often than younger men. Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men.Having children increases housework even further. With more than three children, for example, wives took on more of the extra work, clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands’10 hours.45. According to the “well-known pattern” in Paragraph 1, a married man_____.A. takes on heavier workB. does more houseworkC. is the main breadwinnerD. is the master of the house46. How many hours of housework did men do every week in the 1970s?A. About 23.B. About 26.C. About 13.D. About 6.47. What kind of man is doing most housework according to the text?A. An unmarried man.B. An older married man.C. A younger married man.D. A married man with children.48. What can we conclude from Stafford’s research?A. Marriage gives men more freedom.B. Marriage has effects on job choices.C. Housework sharing changes over time.D. Having children means doubled housework.CGUA TEMALA CITY （Reuters）– A fish that lives in mangrove swamps（红树沼泽）across the Americascan live out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals adapted（适应）to land millions of years ago, a new study shows.The Magrove Rivulus, a type of small killifish, lives in small pools of water in a certain type of empty nut or even old beer cans in the mangrove swamps of Belize, the United States and Brazil. When their living place dries up, they live on the land in logs（圆木），said Scott Taylor, a researcher at the Brevard Endangered Lands Program in Florida.The fish, whose scientific name is Rivulus marmoratus, can grow as large as three inches. They group together in logs and breathe air through their skin until they can find water again.The new scientific discovery came after a trip to Belize.“We kicked over a log and the fish just came crowding out,” Taylor told Reuters in neighboring Guatgemala by telephone. He said he will make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year.In lab tests, Taylor said the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating.Some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at time, while lungfish found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water, but only in an inactive state. But no other known fish can be out of water as long as the Mangrove Rivulus and remain active, according to Patricia Wright, a biologist at Canada’s University of Guelph.Further studies of the fish may tell how animals changed over time.“These animals live in conditions similar to those that existed millions of years ago, when animals began making the transition（过渡）from water onto land,” Wright said.49. The Mangrove Rivulus is a type of fish that _______.A. likes eating nutsB. prefers living in dry placesC. is the longest living fish on earthD. can stay alive for two months out of water50. Who will write up a report on Mangrove Rivulus?A. Patricia WrightB. Researchers in GuatemalaC. Scientists from BelizeD. Scott Taylor51. According to the text, lungfish can________A. breathe through its skinB. move freely on dry landC. remain alive out of waterD. be as active on land as in water52. What can we say about the discovery of Mangrove Rivulus?A. It was made quite by accidentC. It was supported by an American magazineD. It was helped by Patricia WrightDThe American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin's older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long Newspaper complies are losing advertisers （广告商）, readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor （主编）of the times said recently, "At places where they gather, editors ask one another, 'How are you?', as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law came. “An article about the newspaper appeared on the websit e of the Guardian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.”Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past thee years The New York Times Company has seen its stock （股票）drop by 54% since the end of , with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Comply has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company's income.53. What can we learn about the New England Currant?A. It is mainly about the stock market.B. It marks the beginning of the American newspaper.C. It remains a successful newspaper in America.D. It comes articles by political leaders.54. What can we infer about the newspaper editors?A. They often accept readers' suggestionsB. They care a lot about each other's health.C. They stop doing business with advertisers.D. They face great difficulties in their business.55. Which of the following found a new way for its development?A. The Washington PostB. The GuardianC. The New York Times.D. New England Courant56. How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers?A. SatisfiedB. HopefulC. WorriedD. SurprisedEIt's only 4 hours flying time from Sydney, but a world away. What better place to rest than a country where the only place people hurry is on the football field and things are done in "Fiji time"?Viti Lev-Great Fiji is the largest island. Here you'll find the capital Suva and the international airport. Then there are 331 other islands, many of them with places to stay.With less than a million people living on islands, you'll never feel crowded. And with a climate（气候）that changes only for five degrees between seasons, there’s never a bad time to come.From cities to villages, from mountains to beaches, from water sports to wooden artworks, Fiji can give you more adventures and special experiences than you could find almost any where in the world.Whenever you come , wherever you go ,you’re sure to se e some unforgettable events , from war dances to religious （宗教的）songs, from market days to religious days.

Haven’t you noticed that you have beco me a master since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brainpower. Researchers found that learning other language changes gray matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater on the younger people who learn a second language.A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons (土著的英国人) who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of other learners.Scans showed that gray matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference is.“Our findings suggest that his structure of the brain is changed by the experien ce of learning a second language,” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vanghan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas. ”The finding was matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and 34. Reading, writing and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.61. The main subject in this passage is ___.A science on learning a second languageB. man’s ability of learning a second languageC. language can help brain powerD. language learning and maths study62. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ___.A. say language is also a kind of physical laborB. prove that one needs more patience when he(she) is learning a languageC. show the importance of using the language when you learn the languageD. make people believe language learning helps gray matter work well63. The underlined word “bilingual” probably means that ___.A. a researcher on language learningB. a second language learnerC. a person who can speak two languagesD. an active language learner64. We may know from the scientific findings that ___.A. the earlier you start to learn a second language the higher the gray matter density isB. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second languageC. the experience of learning a second language has had an effect on people’s brainD. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time65. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that ___.A. learning a second language is the same as studying mathsB. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjectsC. Italian is the best choice for you as a second languageD. you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second langua ge第II卷（非选择题，共50分）第五节：单词拼写（每空一词，每小题1分，共10小题，满分10分）66.

AMany countries follow special customs when a child’s baby teeth fall out. Many of these customs tell stories about animals taking the teeth.For example, Koreans have the custom of throwing the fallen tooth onto the roof of a house so that a magpie (喜鹊) can take the tooth away and bring a new tooth for the child. This custom is also followed by some other Asian countries, such as Japan and Vietnam.Other countries, though, have tooth customs about other animals. In Mexico and Spain, for example, it is thought that a mouse takes a fallen tooth away and leaves some money. But in Mongolia, it is dogs that take children’s teeth away. Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture. It is believed that the new tooth will grow strong if the baby tooth is fed to a dog, so parents in Mongolia will put their children’s fallen teeth in a piece of meat and fee d it to a dog.In France and the USA, a child will put a fallen tooth under his or her pillow before going to bed. It is thought that in the early morning, when the child is still sleeping, the Tooth Fairy will take the tooth away and leave something else under the pillow. What she will leave is hard to know. It is said that in France the Tooth Fairy may leave some candies; however, in the United States, she may leave money.1.In Vietnam, if a child’s tooth falls out, he or she will __________.A.throw it onto the roof of a houseB.feed it to a mouseC.put it in a piece of meat and feed the meat to a dogD.leave it to the Tooth Fairy2.From the last paragraph, we can know that in France and the USA _________.A.a child will put his or her fallen tooth beside the pillowB.the Tooth Fairy takes the fallen teeth away at midnightC.the Tooth Fairy will leave some candies to the children after taking the fallen teeth awayD.no one knows for sure what the Tooth Fairy will leave to the children after taking the fallen teeth away3.The passage is mainly about ___________.A.customs about fallen teeth in western countriesB.customs about fallen teeth in different countriesC.stories about human teethD.stories about some animalsBAlmost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart. They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know—or even think to ask—who it was that invented them.Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business.Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets they had to carry.One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving.He c ouldn’t wait to see them using his invention.But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied.But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony customers. As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come—those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets,customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items thanbefore.Today’s shopping carts are five times larger thanGoldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reasonAmericans today spend more than five times as much money onfood each year as they did before 1937—before the coming ofthe shopping cart.4.What do the underlined words “ chrome-plated contraptions” in the first paragraph refer to?A.Baskets.B.Private cars.C.Suitcases.D.Shopping carts.5.What was the purpose of Goldman’s invention?A.It was to prove him to be a good inventor.B.It was to reduce the burden of his employees' work.C.It was to make shopping easier and attract more business.D.It was to help the disabled make shopping easily in his market.6.Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market in order toA.attract people to buy things in his marketB.encourage people to use his shopping cartsC.make his market different from the othersD.keep the groceries from being stolen7.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Goldman will become very famous because of his invention.B.Goldman's invention will be regarded as the greatest one in the world.C.Supermarket business has benefited a lot from Goldman's invention.D.There will be nothing that can replace Goldman's invention.CThe Exterminating AngelDirector: Luis BunuelCountry/Date : Mexico/1962 (black and white)Introduction : A party is organized in a high class society house.

They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking.They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.First, the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next, the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find out the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully.After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short , he has solved the problem.11..What is the best title for this passage?A. Six Stages for Repairing Sam’s BicycleB. Possible Ways to Problem-solvingC. Necessities of Problem AnalysisD. Suggestions for Analyzing a Problem12. In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except:A. recognize and define the problemB. look for information to make the problem clearerC. have suggestions for a possible solutionD. find a solution by trial or mistake13.. By referring to Sam’s broken bicycle, the author intends to _________.A. illustrate the ways to repair his bicycleB. discuss the problems of his bicycleC. tell us how to solve a problemD. show us how to analyze a problem14. Which of the following is NOT true?A. People do not analyze the problem they meet.B. People often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.C. People may learn from their past experience.D. People can not solve some problems they meet.15. As used in the last sentence, the phrase “in short” means _____.A. in the long runB. in detailC. in a wordD. in the end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。

AIQ measures the mathematical and logical powers of a person。
However， EQ measures the ability of someone to use his emotional intelligence to get successin life。
It is said that while IQ makes your succeed in school， EQ gives you success in life。
It works in this way. Suppose you find out about a problem at your office。
You know the facts and the reason behind the failure。
That is your IQ. When you use these to motivate your employees, that’s your EQ. If you know the facts, but are unable to motivate them，you have a low EQ. When you try to convince someone by facts alone, it shows your IQ, but when you try to affect his emotions and reasons together with the use of facts，that’s your EQ!Your EQ decides how you deal with people and solve problems in your life. It therefore has a great effect on both your success and your happiness. A person with a high EQ will know how to make others work by affecting their emotions. That is the secret of success behind every man.The most important difference between the two is that while EQ can be learned, IQ is something that a person is born wit h. You can’t alter a person’s intelligence or reasoning powers。

Instead of looking at nature, I checked my e-mail. Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed（推特简讯）. Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning. I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vacation, but my head wasn’t.So this year I made up my mind to try something different: withdrawal from the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by giving the iPad to my wife.The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration （沮丧）. I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely breaking away from e-mail, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio—and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to do all along: read books.This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that itwas I, not the iPad, that was the problem. I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. “I don’t need it,” I said.However, as we return to post-vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back at work?There are times when the need to know what’s being said right now is great.I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two.I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked.5. What do we know about the author’s last summer vacation?A. He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view.B. His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel.C. He hated himself for acting as if he were working on vacation.D. He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable.6. What did the author do to keep away from the Internet this year?A. He cut off his cellphone signal.B. He handed his iPad to his wife.C. He refused to cheat in his house.D. He listened to the radio all the time.7. When back at work, the author will probably choose to ________.A. keep control of when and how to use the InternetB. continue to read more and more booksC. stay away from the Internet foreverD. stop checking what is being said right now completely8. What is the author’s opinion of a great vacation in the passage?A. A vacation is having nothing to do but read all day.B. A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overvalued.C. A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative.D. A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wishes to.CPassenger pigeons (旅鸽)once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks (群)so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point ,they were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century ,the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by American’s need fo r wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law forbidding the killing of passenger pigeons but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time , a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.9. In the 18th and early 19teh centuries, passenger pigeons____.A. were the biggest bird in the worldB. lived mainly in the south of AmericaC. did great harm to the natural environmentD. were the largest bird population in the US10. The underlined word “ undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’ ____.A. escapeB. ruinC. freedomD. evolution11. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A. To seek pleasure.B. To save other birds.C. To make money.D. To protect crops.12. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A. It was ignored by the public.B. It was declared too late.C. It was unfair.D. It was strict.DI was in line at Starbucks waiting to purchase my coffee and overheard (无意中听到）two women discussing what sounded like an unbearable friend. They said they could no longer stand her behavior. They were very angry. The line was so long that I heard most of the story. They were quite intolerant. They were two against one! They were gossiping up a storm.This is my feeling on the topic. If my close friend tends to be unbearable and I notice she is getting worse and that it’s affecting me, I still can’t abandon the friendship with her. She is my friend. I will tell her, as kindly as possible, that I can’t stand her actions. I will give her my suggestions and help her out.Now, back to the line at Starbucks. They carried on and on and I knew by their conversation they had not communicated their feelings to their friend. As I walked home, I thought about you, dear readers, who may be involved in a similar situation with an often selfish or rude or u nkind friend. I don’t know how you define “unbearable”, but that is my definition.So what to do? Remember, “For every action, there is a reaction.” before you can react to her actions, you have to try and figure out why your friend has become unbearable or more unbearable than usual. That means: Have a conversation!This would be my plan.Make a personal phone call. Invite her to lunch. Pick a perfect setting that is comfortable. This is serious time. This should not be done over the phone or in an email. After all, your friend is in need.Prepare yourself for the conversation. Has something happened in her life? Dose she need suggestions? Or, was she always somewhat unbearable, which you didn’t care about because she has so many great qualities? Have answers in your mind. Be tolerant. Be kind. Be a friend. Be prepared to be met with anger. Know that you are doing the right thing. If she rejects you, this isn’t about you.13. How did the author react after overhearing the talk?A.She felt very sad for the two women.B.She became interested in the two womenC.She didn’t like the two women’s behavior,D.She wanted to teach the two women what to do.14. What is the author’s suggestion for those with an unbearable friend?A. Giving up their unbearable friendB. Talking like that in front their friend.C. Sharing their ideas with their readers.D. Having a conversation with that friend.15.What is the text mainly about?A. How to have a conversation with friends.B. How to deal with unbearable friends.C. How to help out a friend in trouble.D. How to get along well with others.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。

She told me her name was Theresa and that she was a very nice girl. “Why were those kids being mean to her?” I asked. “Because they are stupid,” she said.One day, I was walking home from school when I heard voices behind me. “There is the little idiot’s(白痴的) sister. Does your sister wet her pants too? ” I walked a little faster and then I felt a stone hit me in the back. When I got home, I ran down to my sister’s room.I pushed my way into her room, screa ming at her. “Why do you have to be that girl’s friend? I don’t see anyone else being nice to her. ”Janelle yelled back, “Because she is a wonderful person and she is dying!” I will remember those words as long as I live. Theresa wet her pants because she had an illness which was killing her. My sister was the only one nice enough to be her friend and stick up for her. A few months later, Theresa passed away.I felt proud that Janelle was my sister. Throughout the years I watched her, and she always made friends with everyone. It didn’t matter if they were fat, thin, brilliant or not. She never left anyone feeling isolated or alone. It was she who changed me and taught me to never look at anyone in the same way again.5. Why did other students make fun of Theresa?A. Because she was dying very soon.B. Because she was not good at singing.C. Because she behaved in an unusual way.D.

Disadvantaged people need our sympathy.D. Understanding is important among friends.CWhen her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business."Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.9. Helene tied several chopsticks together to show ______.A. the strength of family unityB. the difficulty of growing upC. the advantage of chopsticksD. the best way of giving a lesson10. We can I earn from Paragraph 2 that the An family ______.A. started a business in 1975B. left Vietnam without much moneyC. bought a restaurant in San FranciscoD. opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles11. What can we infer about the An daughters?A. They did not finish their college education.B. They could not bear to work in the family business.C. They were influenced by what Helene taught them.D. They were troubled by disagreement among family members.12. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How to Run a CorporationB. Strength Comes from PeaceC. How to Achieve a Big DreamD. Family Unity Builds SuccessDToday, we are told, childr en don’t spend enough time in the fresh air. Many of them are addicted to screen on a comp uter or a TV---they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature.But now 400 organizations in the UK, from playgroups to the National Health Service, are encouraging children to have some “wild time”. They want kids to s least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside. Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, rummaging for conkers and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city, they can go on adventures in the garden or the park.Children often need a helping hand from mom and dad. They need to be shown what to do and where to go. Andy Simpson from National Health Service says, “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development, independence and creativity, by giving wild time a go”.So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “nature’s playground”is what modern children need. David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, “We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted”.This might sound a bit old fashioned to you or maybe, like me, it’s made you think aboutsticking on your boots, getting outdoors and reliving your childhood. There is no age limit on enjoying yourself!13. What is the best title of the text?A. Wild time for childrenB. Benefits of wild timeC. More space for childrenD. Adventures of children14: Children are encouraged to do the following activities except____________.A. building densB. climbing treesC. playing hide and seekD. watching TV15. According to Andy Simpson, we kn ow that_____________.A. wild time is hard to designB. wild time is beneficial to childrenC. parents know the importance of wild timeD. parents like keeping their children indoors.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Dad loved growing all sorts of things: yellow and green onions, watermelons almost as big as me, rows of yellow corn, and our favorite —red tomatoes.As I grew in to a teenager, I didn’t get so excited about gardening with Dad. Instead of magical land of possibility, it had turned into some kind of prison. As Dad grew older, his love for gardening never disappeared. After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own, Dad turned to gardening like never before. Even when he was diagnosed with cancer, he still took care of his garden.But then, the cancer, bit by bit, invaded his body. I had to do the things he used to do. What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year. The rows and rows of multicolored vegetables were gone. Too tired to weed them, he simply let。

Wear warm clothesD. Make reservations in advanceBLondon’s newest skyscraper (摩天大楼)is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build. At a height of almost 310 metres, it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the Shard for London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire (尖顶). He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. The sides of the building aren’t regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin，sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard. Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts(桅杆) of the ships that were once on the river Thames.The Shard has 87 floors. At the top, there is an observatory. At the moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a five-star hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.Before building work began, a lot of people didn’t want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now they are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing. There is no decoration, only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.Other critics don’t like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel. But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.4.London’s newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of .A. its costB. its sizeC. its shapeD. its height5.When he designed the Shard, Piano wanted it to .A. change London’s skylineB. inherit London’s traditionC. imitate the Egyptian styleD. attract potential visitors6.The critics who refer to social division think the Shard .A. is only preferred by the richB. is far away from the poor areaC. is intended for wealthy peopleD. is popular only with Londoners7.Which would be the best title for the passage?A. The Shard: Cheers and ClapsB. The Shard: Work of a Great ArchitectC. The Shard: New Symbol of London?D. The Shard: A Change for the Better?CA 15-year-old boy planned to put a ball covered with petrol into his mouth and set it on fire. He would film the dangerous action and put it on YouTube. And, lie hoped to become famous on the Internet. But things didn’t go the way he imagined. His clothing caught fire, and he was rushed to the hospital with serious bums on his body.YouTube hosts millions of videos of people attempting dangerous actions. Many of them are by kids and young adults. Some experts say that by hosting these videos, YouTube encourages young viewers to take deadly risks. Research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that more than 180,000 Americans die from accidental injuries each year. That’s one person every three minutes. More than 14,000 of those killed are kids under the age of 19. Is YouTube to blame?People have always found it interesting to watch others try risky things. Audiences love these kinds of things. Some of the earliest Greek comedies had characters followed by wild animals and knocking into walls. Now, in the age of the Internet, anyone with a camera and a YouTube account can create this kind of “fun”. Many viewers, especially teenagers, are influenced by what they see and want to try it themselves. “YouTube has taken the playing in the neighborhood to a worldwide level,” says Clair Mellenthin, a researcher from the Centers.Supporters of YouTube argue that it isn’t YouTube’s responsibility to examine its content. “Parents should be the ones to make sure that kids are behaving safely,” they say. In fact, YouTube has a rule on content. For example, dangerous activities that have a risk of serious physical harm or death are not allowed. Staff of YouTube, carefully watch the website 24 hours a day, looking for videos that are against their rules. But is this enough?8.What happened to the 15- year-old boy?A. He got hurt in a traffic accidentB. He played with fire and burned himselfC. He set fire to a ball by accidentD. He watched an action film on YouTube9.What do Clair Mellenthin’s words suggest?A. YouTube should examine kids’ accountsB. YouTube users like to copy Greek comediesC. YouTube affects people greatlyD. YouTube has a positive influence on teenagers globally10.According to the last paragraph, the author seems to believe that .A. YouTube should do more to make sure of kids’ safetyB. parents should be strict with their kidsC. YouTube should make a rule on contentD. parents shouldn't allow their kids to take risks11.The passage mainly discusses .A. how to prevent accidental injuriesB. how to become famous on the InternetC. whether YouTube should be open to kidsD. whether YouTube should show dangerous videosDThe current Ebola (埃博拉病毒)outbreak in western and central Africa has infected at least 3,069 people, including 1,552 dead, making it the largest outbreak in history. Ebola is a deadly virus-about 60 percent of people infected with it have died.How is Ebola doing its harm?When a person becomes infected with Ebola, the virus damages the body’s immune (免疫的)cells, which defend against infection, said a researcher at Lancaster University. But if a person’s immune system can stand up to this attack, then he is more likely to survive the disease.The patients that survive it best are those who don’t get such a bad disadvantage in immune system. But if the body isn’t able to get rid of this attack, then the immune system becomes less able to regulate(调节) itself. This means the immune system is more likely to run out of control, leading to a drop in blood pressure, multi-organ failure and eventually death.What are the common symptoms of the disease?Fever. Headache. Joint and muscle aches. Weakness. Diarrhea. V omiting. Stomach pain. Lack of appetite. Chills. Rash. Redness in the eyes. Hiccups. Cough. Sore throat. Chest pain. Difficult breathing or swallowing. Bleeding inside and outside of the body.How to prevent the spread of Ebola?Ebola can be spread primarily via direct contact with patients, specifically the blood and fluids of an infected patient.We should avoid contact with infected patients and objects such as clothing, bedding, and needles used by them. Avoid areas where infections have been reported. For now, the disease has only been confirmed in central and West Africa, four cases in America and Europe. Avoid eating wild-caught bush meat. Researchers have suspected that the disease came to humans via animals, probably through the meat of primates(灵长类). If you’re in an area where the disease has been reported, avoid purchasing, eating, or handling wild game to stay on the safe side.Wear protective medical clothing if you’re around infected patients. Extreme caution is necessary. Hosp ital workers must use masks, gloves, goggles, and gowns, which needed to be worn at all times if y ou’re around infected patients.How Do People Survive Ebola?Doctors don’t know for certain who will survive Ebola, and there is no specific treatment or cu re for the disease. Although in the minority, some people do recover from infection.Our suggestions include:Maintain your electrolytes(电解质) and body liquid. Sports drinks can be used. Monitor your blood pressure and control it if necessary. Dropping blood pressure may be a serious sign of infection. Breathe in an oxygen-rich environment. Quickly address any symptoms of infection. Be hone st about when and where you’re feeling pain.12.Ebola causes the death of a human being by .A. attacking him with high feverB. regulating his immune systemC. damaging his immune cellsD. harming all his organs directly13.What is NOT mentioned as the symptom of Ebola?A. Fever and chillsB. Swallowing difficultyC. Lack of appetiteD. High blood pressure14.In order not to be infected by Ebola, we should .A. have the clothing of the infected cleanedB. avoid eating wild animals like monkeysC. not travel to Africa, America or EuropeD. stay at home without going anywhere15.It is true that .A. a certain number of people survive EbolaB. human has found a special cure for EbolaC. oxygen can save infected people’s livesD. low blood pressure is surely caused by Ebola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。

AMark felt that it was time for him, to take part in his community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work. The area' s city councilwoman(女议员) was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was decreasing. The neighborhood faced many problems.Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls. There are charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant buildings. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman.It was too much for Mark. "The problems are too big," he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said, "I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here."Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop. "People should just take care of themselves, "he decided. "That' s enough to do. I can' t take on all the problems of the world."As he neared the bus stop, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag and a baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but she didn't have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenlydartedinto the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and the groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy's arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. "Thanks! "she said. "You've gotgreat timing!""Just being neighborly," Mark said. As he rode home, he glanced at the walls of the bus. On one of them was "Small acts of kindness add up.

Singing aloud will not justlift the spirits---it’s good for your physical health as wel l. Filling the lungs 〔肺〕with air, increasing the heart rate and getting blood pumping round the body faster can all help our physical health.For the past few years Heart Research UK has been holding a Christmas campaign aimed at getting people singing, simply for the benefit it can bring. The organizer of the campaign says singing is a safe, simple and social activity that everyone can enjoy. “Singing is linked to long life, stress reduction, and general health protection. It also brings a great amount of happiness. It is impossible to sing well with a long face because it affects your pitch〔音高〕.〞Professor Graham Welch, who leads the International Music Education Research Centre at the University of London, has spent more than 30 years studying the effects of singing. He says that singing is a form of exercise. It means we’re also having a strong aerobic activity〔有氧运动〕when we’re singing, which results in increasing the feeling of pleasure while decreasing that of stress.“And communal〔共同的〕singing—like in a singing group, a church service or even a singsong in the pub—helps improve our sense of self-respect. It increases our sense of satisfaction with ourselves, a greater sense of feeling included. 〞Helen Astrid, a singing teacher, also sees the great effects that singing brings. “It lifts us up on a spiritual level, it helps our self-respect, and it’s great for all ages from small kids to grannies—you can have a good sing and let your hair down.〞But she warns people not to have too many beers or glasses of wine, though a glass may help them gather courage before taking to the stage during the holidays.32. What are the benefits of singing according to Graham Welch?a. Singers’ living longer.b. Singers’ general health protection.c. Singers’ feeling happier.d. Singers’ stress reduced.e. Singer’s self-respect improved.A. a, b, cB. b, c, dC. c, d, eD. a, b, e33. The underlined part “let your hair down〞 probably means __________.A. feel at easeB. protect yourselfC. dress casuallyD. cover your nervousness34. What can we infer from the passage?A. Singing at Christmas is good for health.B. In a low mood one is not able to sing well.C. Experts have disagreement on singing.D. Singing is the same as other aerobic activities.35. Which is the best title of the passage?A. Karaoke—Best Place for Singing!B. Christmas—Best Time for Singing!C. Singing—Healthy but DifficultD.

（2分×15）AThe Healthy Habits Survey (调查) shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.● How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?Finding: A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.● How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?Finding: Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30%wash their hands only 4 times a day-half of the number doctors recommend.Step: We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day-often inviting germs (病菌) to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.● How often do you think about fighting germs?Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.Step: Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge (海绵) that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.1. What is found out about American seniors?A．Most of them have good habits.B．Nearly 30%of them bathe three days a week.C．All of them are fighting germs better than expected.D．About one third of them brush their teeth only once a day2. Doctors suggest that people should wash their hands .A．twice a day B．three times a dayC．four times a day D．eight times a day3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A．We should keep from touching our faces.B．There are less than 300 types of bacteria in the mouth.C．A kitchen sponge can carry more germs than a toilet.D．We should wash our hands before touching a door handle.BIn 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five fays off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me.Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier.I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.4. The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because .A. she missed the only train back homeB. she was going home for her holidaysC. the town was far away from SydneyD. her work delayed her trip to Sydney5. Which of the following did Gordon do according to Paragraph 2?A. He gave the girl a ride back home.B. He helped the girl find a ride.C. He bought sandwiches for the girl.D. He watched the girl for three hours.6. The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that .A. she realized he was GordonB. she had known him for decadesC. she wanted to repay the favour she once gotD. she was going to the nearby town7. What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?A. Those who give rides will be rapid.B. Good manners bring about happiness.C. People should offer free rides to others.D. Giving sometimes produces nice results.CWhen it comes to President Obama, most of his personal business is already known by the public. Personal information about his children, Malia and Sasha, however, has been kept a little more under wraps.The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House, as well as in general. See how the first family educates their children: The girls must write reports about what they’ve seen on their trips, even if it’s not required by their school.Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekends, and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week.Malia and Sasha have to play two sports: one they choose and one selected by their mother.Malia must learn to do laundry(洗衣服) before she leaves for college.The girls have to eat their vegetables, and if they say they are not hungry, they cannot ask for cookies or chips later.While these might be shocking to some, Michelle said, “They’re not little princess. It’s j ust basic rules, boundaries, and expectations that we would have normally.”Michelle also mentions another set of rules:The girls must do their chores(家务), though the White House has a large staff. Malia and Sasha have chores of their own.They must play a team sport, because it’s about learning how to play on a team, how to lose and how to win gracefully…It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well-rounded as possible. What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules?8. What’s the passage mainly about?A．The first family daily life. B．The first family rules.C．How to be good parents. D．How to be good students.9. What do the underlined words “under wraps” probably mean?A．Attractive. B．Calm. C．Secret. D．Public10. What has to be followed a fter the girls’ every trip?A．Emails. B．Photos. C．Homework. D．Reports.11. Which of the following is what the girls can’t do?A. To use the cell phone freelyB. To play two sportsC. To learn to do the laundryD. To eat their vegetablesDFor better eyesight(视力), doctors advise limiting(限制)the hours of screen time and encourage having enough eye resting time．However, another study shows that sitting in front of computer or TV screens for long hours is not the only reason for myopia(近视)．An Australian research team studied young children in Sydney and Singapore to find the reasons for myopia．The research team found that there were less children who had myopia in Sydney than those in Singapore, even though they spent more time in front of computer and TV screens．The major finding is that children in Sydney spend longer hours on outdoor sports than those in Singapore．Indoor and outdoor sports both make the eyes pay attention to more distant(远处的)objects, which stops the eyes from changing original shape．But outdoor sports may be better than indoor sports for myopia．Because natural light is good for eye growth and vitamin(维他命)D from the sunlight might be useful to it．Many doctors suggest that every child get its first eye test when he/she is about two and half years old, and even if his/her sight seems good enough．It is necessary for myopic(近视的)children to wear glasses to stop headaches, trouble reading and so on．It isalso important that schools invite doctors to test their students’ eyes．If that is not possible, school teachers should at least encourage parents and children to have regular eye examination and wear glasses．And parents should remember not only to limit the total screen time for their children, but also to encourage them to spend time outdoors．12. What's the aim of the study by the Australian research team ?A. To find the causes for myopia.B. To find the ways to treat myopia.C. To prove the bad effects of myopia.D. To prove the prevalence of myopia.13. Why are there fewer children with myopia in Sydney than in Singapore ?A. Because Sydney children watch less TV.B. Because Sydney children have more eye resting time.C. Because Sydney children use computers less.D. Because Sydney children do more outdoor sports.14. What conclusion can we draw from the passage ?A. Sydney children don't study hard.B. Singapore children do few exercises.C. Outdoor activities do little good to eyes.D. Room light does harm to children's eyes.15. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE ?A. Children should have regular eye tests.B. Doing outdoor activities is good for myopia children’s eyes.C. Focusing on distant objects can change their original shape.D. Children should limit their screen timeII. 七选五。

People always seemed to feel comfortable in her presence. For years, she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home with her where she taught a ceramics(制陶技术) class.On one summer day, Mama told me to get changed and meet her at the car.I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? I imagined the cool lake water. Irritated，I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. We sat in silence. I was too upset to make conversation.“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going?” Mama asked calmly.“No,” I said.“We are going to volunteer at a children’s shelter today. I have been there before a nd I think it would benefit you,” she explained. When wereached the shelter, Mama rang the doorbell. Moments later, we were greeted by a woman. She led us to the front room where all of the children were playing. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with iron marks. I was told it was because she wouldn’t stop crying. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars. Others hid their emotional wounds.As I took in my surroundings, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt. I looked down to see a li ttle girl looking up at me. “Hi. You want to play dolls with me?” she asked. I looked over at Mama for reinforcement. She smiled and nodded. I turned back and said, “Sure.” Her tiny hand reached up and held mine, as if to comfort me.My mom taught me a valuable lesson that summer. I returned to the shelter with her several times. During those visits, some of the children shared their troubled pasts with me and I learned to be grateful for what I had. Today as I try to instill (逐渐灌输) these values in my own child, I reflect back to that experience. It was a time that I will never forget.4.The author admired her mom for .A. her kindness to othersB. her excellent teachingC. her quality of honestyD. her positive attitude to life5.According to Paragraph 3, when she was asked to go out with her mom, the author was .A. excitedB. angryC. surprisedD. worried6.From the passage we learn most children in the shelter.A. were often punished by staffB. weren’t allowed to go outsideC. were once treated badlyD. all suffered from mental illness7.The underlined word “reinforcement” in the passage is closest inmeaning to .A. truthB. helpC. comfortD. supportCChildren who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of becoming better readers than those who don’t. With the help from their parents, children can learn techniques to improve their reading skills.“A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop re ading to them,” Donna George said. “They are sadly mistaken.”George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear th ings at a higher level than where they are,” George said. “Parents are their child’s first teacher.” Parents help their children build listening, phonics, comprehension and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them.Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy —television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Joines said while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, thesuggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series.Parents who do not read themselves should not count on their children being interested in it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents’ job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.8. According to George, reading aloud to children_______________.A．helps them correct mistakesB．is helpful to their readingC．is parents’ first duty to their childrenD．can get children out of television’s attraction9.The underlined word “distraction”(in Paragraph 4) means somethingthat_________A．can improve childr en’s readingB．can help children’s right way of readingC．can make children interested in readingD．stop children from concentrating on reading10.Which of the following is important according to the fourth paragraph? A．Reading skills. B．Reading speed.C．Reading materials. D．Reading environment.11.If the passage is not completed, which of the following can follow the fifth paragraph?A．Parents choose reading materials for their children.B．Advice is given to control their children.C．What TV programs children can watch during reading.D．How children improve their reading by themselves.DMost heroes are not super. They don’t appear in comic books, on television, or in movies. They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a betterplace. Bike Batman is one of them.Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. He’s a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they’re taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index. Then he called the person who claimed to be the bike’s owner and arranged to meet him— supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief, “You’ve got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here.” You can imagine what the thief did.After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references(对照) the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has confirmed it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested. In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects had stolen during a home burglary.His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called “Robin Hood”. Since he wasn’t exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, “Batman” seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he conti nues his work is to keep up Seattle’s reputation as a friendly city.12. Bike Batman is _____.A. a superheroB. a website managerC. a Seattle citizenD. a police officer13. When Bike Batman discovers a questionable bike, he will first _____.A. contact the owner of the stolen bikeB. look up the bike’s informationC. call the police departmentD. arrange to meet the thief14. Bike Batman helps find the lost bikes to _____.A. become famousB. help poor peopleC. punish bike thievesD. build a friendly city15. From the passage, we can learn that _____.A. Bike Batman felt relieved to see the thieves arrestedB. Bike Batman began his good deeds by accidentC. the police failed to perform their dutiesD. the thieves refused to return the bikes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。

Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.First, the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is br oken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next, the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find out the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because试卷第2页，共12页there is something wrong with the gear wheels.

They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know —or even think to ask —who it was that invented them.Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business.Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets they had to carry.One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business. On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention.But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied.But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony customers.As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come —those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—before the coming of the shopping cart.9、What do the underlined words “ chrome -plated contraptions” in the first paragraph refer to?

Many of these customs tell stories about animals taking the teeth.For example, Koreans have the custom of throwing the fallen tooth onto the roof of a house so that a magpie (喜鹊) can take the tooth away and bring a new tooth for the child. This custom is also followed by some other Asian countries, such as Japan and Vietnam.Other countries, though, have tooth customs about other animals. In Mexico and Spain, for example, it is thought that a mouse takes a fallen tooth away and leaves some money. But in Mongolia, it is dogs that take children’s teeth away. Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture. It is believed that the new tooth will grow strong if the baby tooth is fed to a dog, so parents in Mongolia will put their children’s fallen teeth in a piece of meat and feed it to a dog. In France and the USA, a child will put a fallen tooth under his or her pillow before going to bed. It is thought that in the early morning, when the child is still sleeping, the Tooth Fairy will take the tooth away and leave something else under the pillow. What she will leave is hard to know. It is said that in France the Tooth Fairy may leave some candies; however, in the United States, she may leave money.13、In Vietnam, if a child’s tooth falls out, he or she will __________.
