The Catholic priest took $ 15,000 in cash to Los Angeles’ Skid Row (贫民区) and gave it away. Twenty wheelchair –bound people received $100 bills, while the rest received $1to $ 3 each．“I come out here to tell them that God loves them and I love them and that some one is concerned about them,” Chase said．Chase has given away cash and blessings every Sunday at the same corner for 24 years．Several hundred people wait for him every week．He makes a point of coming on Thanksgiving and Christmas, too, but this is the first year he spent his birthday in the downtown neighborhood where people live mainly in shelters and on dirty sidewalks．“ It’s the place that makes me the happiest．I just love it,” said Chase. “I look forward to coming here.”The money comes from donations he receives from rich and famous people he met during his work as assistant to the president of Loyola Marymount University．The crowd broke into choruses of “Happy Birthday” several times. Some people presented him birthday cards, to his delight．Travis Kemp, a 51 – year – old disabled man with long black hair, was one of the lucky 20 to receive $ 100. He said he had no special plans for spending the money. “He has a lot of respect from me,” Kemp said. “I know I couldn’t do it.”56．On his 90 th birthday, Chase ．A．handed out cash to the needyB．collected money for poor peopleC．visited poor people’s homes with giftsD．held a party at Los Angeles’ Skid Row57．Which of the following makes Chase feel the happiest?A．Celebrating his birthday with his neighbours．B．Working in Loyola Marymount University．C．Celebrating Christmas with the people he has helped．D．Going to Los Angeles’ Skid Row to help people there．58．What’s the source of the money Chase used to help people?A．All his savings．B．His earnings as a Catholic priest．C．Donations from the wealthy and celebrities．D．Donations from Loyola Marymount University．59．Travis Kemp is mentioned in the text to show ．A．he was the luckiest person on that dayB．the disabled need to be taken care ofC．Chase is greatly appreciated by the needyD．even old people came to celebrate Chase’s birthdayA．Every recipient could get $100 in cash from Father Maurice Chase．B．Father Maurice Chase gave the cash away not only on his birthday but also on other occasions．C．Although Father Maurice Chase gave the cash away on his birthday, he didn’t receive anything in return．D．Father Maurice Chase earned a lot of money as assistant to the president of Loyola Marymount University．BResearch by Scotland Yard published in a London newspaper, has proven that knife crime in London is a serious non – white phenomenon, with 165 of the 225 under- 18s accused of knife crime in the past three months being from the black or other non – white groups．According to Scotland Yard, only 60 of the 225 crimes were white．Despite being a small minority of the knife holding criminals, whites did, however, make up the single largest group of victims of knife crime．According to the Scotland Yard report, whites made up 222 of the 637 victims of knife crime over the last three months．This number could probably be higher, as 292 victims were not identified by race．This month Scotland Yard Deputy Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson suggested knife crime has replaced drug selling as the top concern for London police．Sir Paul said so as he announced a specialist knife crime unit to deal with teenagers carrying knives in the capital．It will use a team of 75 specialist officers to find criminal group members and their supporters．Detective Inspector, George Rhoden, president of the National Organisation of Black Law Enforcement Executives said, “In the black community we have all noticed that there is major concern about gun and knife crime．Clearly we are not the only part of the community affected bythe problem of children who have no fathers, but parental responsibility should be of major concern.”Around 59 percent of black Caribbean children and 54 percent of mixed – race youngsters are looked after by a parent．In the white British population, the number is 22 percent．61．From the above, we can see that in knife crimes in London．A．there are more whites than Asians as victimsB．there are more blacks than whites as victimsC．Asians make up the smallest group of criminalsD．blacks make up the second largest group of criminals62．What Sir Paul Stephenson said suggests that ．A．drug selling has replaced knife crime as the top concern for London policeB．drug selling had been the top concern for London police in the pastC．knife crime used to be the top concern for London policeD．London police now pay no attention to drug selling 63．Whatmeasurehasthegovernmenttakentodealwiththeproblemofknifecrime?A．Punishing the parents of teenagers carrying knives．B．Arresting the teenagers carrying knives．C．Forming a specialist knife crime unit．D．Fining the teenagers carrying knives．64．According to George Rhoden, which of the following factors contributes to so many young blacks turning to crime?A．That they are poorly educated．B．That they are influenced by their fathers．C．That many of them come from incomplete families．D．That their parents are too busy to take care of them．65．Whichofthefollowingwordscanbeusedtofillintheblankinthelastparagraphy?A．lone B．loving C．busy D．lazyCSaya, the teacher doesn’t mind being pinched(掐), or if the students play in class: she’s a robot designed to show children that science and technology can be fun subjects．Saya, a life – like female who started her career as a robot receptionist at Japanese companies and was then reprogrammed to teach, gave a lesson to fifth –graders at Tokyo’s Kudan Elementary School after being carried to the podium in the classroom．Professor Hiroshi Kobayashi, who built Saya, says she’s not meant to replace human teachers, but to bring the joy of technology to children. “We’re not looking at making something that will take over from teachers. Our main reason for building this robot is to use new technology to teach children about technology,”he said. “But Saya may be able to help in schools where there’s a shortage of teachers,”he added. “In the countryside and in some small schools, children don’t have the chance to come into contact with new technology and also few teachers there can teach these lessons．So we hoped to be able to develop this robot to be remotely controlled to teach these classes.”Many of the children were attracted by Saya, and didn’t take their eyes off her throughout the lecture. When class was over, some students pinched her. “ It’s so much more fun than regular classes,” said10 – year – old Nanako Iijima．The children’s human teacher, however, was not as impressed with the robot as her students. “I am impressed that they’ve got robots to go this far, but on the other hand they still have a long way to go before they can make it a truly robotic teacher.” Akito Fukuda, the school’s science teacher said．Japan, home to almost half of the world’s 800,000 industrial robots, expects the industry to expand to $10 billion in the future including models that will be able to care for its fast – growing elderly population．66．Saya was first designed to ．A．be touched by students B．teach children about scienceC．work as a robot receptionist D．work together with scientists67．The underlined word “podium” in Paragraph 2 probably means “”.A．a surface for teachers to stand on B．a board for teachers to write onC．a toy for students to play with D．a video for students to watch68．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A．Saya needn’t be remotely controlled while having classes.B．Robots like Saya will replace human teachers in the future.C．Some children in the countryside know little about new technology.D．It’s difficult for most Japanese teachers to teach children about technology.69．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Saya is the first life – like female robot in history.C．Some children in the countryside know little about new technology.70．In which section of a newspaper can you find this passage?A．Entertainment. B．Technology. C．Politics. D．Opinion.PART FOUR WRITINGSECTION A（10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．The art of growing dwarf (short) trees, or “bonsai”as their Japanese planters call them, is increasing in popularity in the United States. Growing bonsai can make a fascinating hobby for anyone who enjoys plants and creating beautiful effects with them. However，how can we meet the goal of making such a kind of art？This maybe is the problem for many of us.There are，in fact，four important guidelines to follow in growing bonsai. First, one must be careful in choosing the type of tree. Not all species of trees can be made into bonsai, since the growing cond itions are unusual.Second，one must be careful in choosing the size of the container the bonsai will be in. This is necessary because the major growth of bonsai is kept confined to the tree’s trunk and leaves，not its root system.Another thing the bonsai-grower must do is to trim （修整）the roots and branches of the tree periodically（定期地）. Unless this is done，the plants will look unnatural. The Japanese ideal for bonsai is not to have the proper proportions and will have trees which are just like normal trees in everything，but in small size.The last thing one must do is to be careful to keep the miniature（small）tree well-watered，or it will die.As one can see from above，the art of bonsai-growing is one which requires a certain amount of time and effort. The satisfactions that growing bonsai brings c an be great，however. Imagine having such a tree in your living room and passing it down through several generations of your family. That is exactly what bonsai-growing is all about：establishing a tradition of beauty which lasts for years and years and is a symbol of the beauties of the natural world.Enough water It keeps the plants 79.Bonsai – growing establishes a tradition of natural 80.beauty.Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.The Fourth of July marks the anniversary of America’s Declaration of Independence from Britain. During the summer of 1776, American colonists were deeply divided. Almost one in three was loyal to Britain. Yet most were increasingly angry about what they considered unfair treatment by the British government. By June, fighting had already taken place between colonial forces and Britain. The idea of independence was spreading.Delegates from the 13 colonies gath ered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Continental Congress decided that a document declaring separation from Britain should be declared. Thomas Jefferson led a committee chosen to write it.On July fourth, 1776, the Continental Congress voted to approve the Declaration of Independence. It says that people have the right to change their government if it denies them their rights. It states that everyone has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.Today, the Fourth of July is a time for friends and families to gather. They might play sports and eat hot dogs, hamburgers and other foods cooked outdoors. They might watch a parade in their community. At night, many people gather to watch fireworks bursting in the sky.In Washington, D.C. this year, thousands of people will attend a concert with performances by musicians including Reba McIntire, Darius Rucker and Gladys Knight. There will also be a huge fireworks show with more than 2,500 shells exploding over the National Mall.Another event that traditionally takes place on the National Mall this weekend is the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. This year's event celebrates the cultures of Mexico and Asian Pacific Americans. Visitors can hear the music, eat the food and learn about the many traditions of these cultures.The third subject of the festival is called "Smithsonian Inside Out." Smithsonian experts will have a chance to present their research and knowledge to the public.81．Why was the idea of independence spreading before July 4,1776?

Recent development has made possiblemachines that print, cook, and serve foods o n a mass scale. And the industryisn’t stopping there.Food productionWith a 3D printer, a cook canprint complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on awedding cake. Not everybody can do that — it takes years of experience, buta printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to”re-create forms and pieces” of food that are “exactly thesame,” freeing cooks to complete other tasks. In another restaurant, allof the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed, rather than farm to table.SustainabilityThe global population is expectedto grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food productionwill need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels. Sustainabilityis becoming a necessity. 3D food printing could probably contribute to thesolution. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids from plentiful renewables like algae and grass to replace the familiar ingredients. 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions. Grocery stores of the future might stock “food” that lasts years on end, freeing upshelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements.NutritionFuture 3D food printers couldmake processed food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University,said, “Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customizednutritional content, like vitamins. So instead of eating a piece of yesterday’sbread from the supermarket, you’d eat something baked just for you ondemand.”ChallengesDespite recent advancements in3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Currently, mostingredients must be changed to a paste before a printer can use them,and the printing process is quite time-consuming, because ingredients interactwith each other in very complex ways. On top of that, most of the 3D foodprinters now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk productsmay easily go bad. Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers, believingthey are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-endrestaurants.（1）What benefit does 3D printing bring to food production?A . It helps cooks to create new dishes.B . It saves time and effort in cooking.C . It improves the cooking conditions.D . It contributes to restaurant decorations.（2）What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraphs 3?A . It solves food shortages easily.B . It quickens the transportation of food.C . It needs no space for the storage of food.D .

There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness intwo ways: as start-up fatigue and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keepputting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And thelonger we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is veryreal, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones.The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle themost difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, Idetermined to write them in alphabetical, never letting myself leaveout a tough idea. And I always startedthe day’s work with the difficult taskof essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is moredifficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do thejob right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we failagain and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can-then let theunconscious take over.When planning EncyclopaediaBritannica , I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of itsarticles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after dat I keptcoming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almostunbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, Iwrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried toconvince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me.Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke upsuddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, thesolution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at everystep. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now asexciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe musttry to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.（1）People with start-up fatigue are most likely to .A . delay tasksB . work hardC . seek helpD . accept failure（2）What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A . Writing essays in strict order.B . Building up physical strength.C .Leaving out the toughest ideas.D . Dealing with the hardest task first.（3）On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A . Before starting a difficult task.B . When all the solutions fail.C . If the job is rather boring.D . After finding a way out.（4）According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us .A . ignore mental problemsB . get some nice sleepC . gain complete reliefD . find the right solution（5）What could be the best title for the passage?A . Success Is Built upon FailureB . How to Handle Performance FatigueC . Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD . Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems20. 阅读理解A scientist working at her lab bench and asix-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common. Afterall, the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature ofthe physical world, and the baby is, well, just playing…right? Perhaps,but some developmental psychologists have argued that this “play” is morelike a scientific invest igation than one might think.Take a closer look at the babyplaying at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge,it falls in the ground---and, in the process, it belongs out important evidenceabout how physical objects interact; bowls of rice do not flood in mid-sit, butrequire support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowingthe basic fact of the universe; nor are they everclearly taught it. Instead,babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experimentsand then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact.Though their ranges and tools differ, the baby’s investigation and thescientist’s experiment appear to share the same aim, overall approach , and logic.Some psychologists suggest thatyoung children learn about more than just the physical world in this way---thatthey investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similarmeans. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering,and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea thatother people can have different views and desires from what he or she has, forexample, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesn’t like Dove chocolate.Viewing childhood developmentas a scientific investigation throws on how children learn, but it also offersan inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children andscientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that scienceas an effort ---the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world---issimply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution provided humanbabies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adultscientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. Thesame cognitive systems that make young children feel good about feel good aboutfiguring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As somepsychologists put it, “It is not that children are little scientis ts butthat scientists are big children.”（1）According to some developmental psychologists .A . a baby’s play is nothing more than a gameB . scientific research into babies; games is possibleC . the nature of babies’ play has been thoroughly investigatedD . a baby’s play is somehow similar to a scientist’s experiment （2）We learn from Paragraph 2 that .A . scientists and babies seem to observe the world differentlyB . scientists and babies often interact with each otherC . babies are born with the knowledge of object supportD . babies seem to collect evidence just as scientists do（3）Children may learn the rules of language by .A . exploring the physical worldB . investigating human psychologyC . repeating their own experimentsD . observing their parents’ behaviors （4）What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A . The world may be more clearly explained through children’s play.B . Studying babies’ play may lead to a better understanding of science.C . Children may have greater ability to figure out things than scientists.D . One’s drive for scientific research may become stronger as he grows.（5）What is the author’s tone when he discusses the connection between scientists’ research and babies’ play?A . Convincing.B . Confused.C . Confidence.D . Cautious.四、任务型阅读（本大题共5小题，共10分）21. 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
