She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. “What I mean is (26) __________ you have a job.” explained the recorder.“Of course I have a job,” replied Emily. “I’m a mother.”“We don’t list ‘mother’ (27) __________ an occupation … ‘Housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.I forgot all about her story (28) __________ one day I found myself in the same situation at Town Hall. The clerk was obviously a career woman. “What is your occupation?” she asked.I don’t know what made me say it. The words simply got out. “I’m a researcher in the field of Child Development and Human Rel ation.”The clerk paused and looked up (29) __________ __________she hadn’t heard right.“Might I ask,” said the clerk, “what do you do in your field?”Coolly, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research, in the laboratory and in t he field. Normally, I would have said indoors and out. I’m working for my Master, the whole family, and already have four credits. Of course, the job is one of the (30) __________ (demanding) in the humanities, and I often work 14 hours a day, but the job is more challenging and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up and personally showed me to the door.As I drove into our driveway, I was greeted by my lab assistant. Upstairs I could hear my new experimental model, a six-month-old baby, in the child-development program, (31) __________ (test) out a new vocal pattern.I felt proud! Motherhood … What a glorious career!(B)Once upon a time, a boy was walking through a large woods (32) __________ he found a big blackboard hanging on an old tree trunk.

The boy took a piece of chalk and started to draw on the blackboard: first a tree, then a rabbit, and then a flower …Magically, whenever he finished a figure, it came to life and jumped out of the blackboard. Before long, the place became a wonderfully green and fertile forest, full of animals playing happily.(33)__________ (excite), the boy also drew his parents and brothers and sisters enjoyinga picnic, with their sandwiches and cold meats.

It’s true as long as it is pure, alkaline(碱性的)water. Yet most water is acidic. Water that __41__ less than 7 on the PH scale is acidic. Water that is higher than 7 is alkaline. To support life, water needs to be on the alkaline side of the range, much like our bodies.Drinking pure, alkaline water is important to great health. I believe that most of the disease __42__ people in the Western world couldn’t occur in a PH-balanced body.Most tap water is highly acidic due to the __43__ of various chemicals. Don’t assume that bottled water is __44__ a better choice than tap water. Most bottled water is of __45__ quality and largely made up of tap water plus the off-gassing of chemicals from the plastic in which it is stored. Most bottled water is extremely acidic, making it harmful to your health and the health of the planet, too.Water filtration(过滤) is a necessary part of our modern life. There are many water filtration systems that get rid of some of the harmful chemicals, but few systems that also __46__ the PH of water to increase its healing powers. Every company __47__ that its systems are the best. I’ve spent some time trying to find affordable water filtration systems.Every cell in your body depends on enough water to ensure proper __48__. It’s important to drink between 12 and 20 cups of alkaline water each day. Every person has individual needs but if you are smaller than __49__ and in excellent health, your water needs will obviously be lower than someone who is fat and in poor health. As your health problems improve and you lose any extra weight, you can reduce your water __50__ to 12 cups each day.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Many of us have characteristics that are inherited from our families. Maybe we have our father’s eyes or our grandmother’s hair color –__51__ features that result from the genes we inherit. But there are other elements of our personalities such as behaviors and viewpoints that we pick up by __52__ our parents. Perhaps we have picked up our mother’s love of cleaning or our dad’s sense of humor. Now, researchers at the University of Michigan believe there may be a specific viewpoint we can thank our parents for: the way we __53__ work.The researchers referred to previous studies that identified three main ways of viewing work.First, there are job-oriented (以求职为目的的)people, those who __54__ to see their job as simply a way to make money. They __55__ to clocking out(打卡下班)every day and pursuing fun activities __56__ the office. If you have a job-oriented father, you may view work this way. __57__, if you grew up close to your mother you probably will not hold this viewpoint. One possible __58__ cited by the study: Youngsters that grow up close to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job.Second, there are career-oriented(追求事业型的)people who see their job as a place to find __59__ and gain a sense of __60__. These are the people who don’t __61__ working overtime. In fact, some people love their jobs so much that they become workaholics! They are more comfortable in the office than at home. According to the study, being close to a career- oriented father while growing up means there’s a good chance you’ll share his perspective. Oddly, having a mother with this viewpoint seems to have little __62__.Third, there are calling-oriented workers – folks who view their job as a way to make a (n) __63__ impact upon the world. They are more __64__ with improving the world around them than earning a large salary. In the study, those who expressed a strong calling (天职)orientation came from homes where both parents were calling-oriented. This suggests that adolescents need the support of both parents in order to have the confidence to put __65__ first and career success second.The good news is – we still hav e choice. Whether we share our parents’ views of work or not, we can still find a career that suits us.51. A. medical B. physical C. biological D. mental52. A. stimulating B. neglecting C. implying D. modeling53. A. view B. think C. evaluate D. comment54. A. attempt B. manage C. tend D. offer55. A. pay attention B. are opposed C. look forward D. are devoted56. A. outside B. inside C. upside D. downside57. A. Otherwise B. Therefore C. However D. Moreover58.

A. like B. resist C. mind D. consider62. A. influence B. evidence C. performance D. justice63. A. objective B. negative C. subjective D. positive64. A. familiar B. concerned C. anxious D. combined65. A. personal ideals B. economic profitsC. professional achievementsD. global developmentSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I’m afraid we have to accept the fact that criminals are getting younger all the time, but unfortunately the crimes are becoming more serious. I only wish we didn’t have to admit this but, in doing so, we must first ask ourselves what’s wrong with our society, or else our c hildren clearly couldn’t care less about law and order.The days of the sneak thief who stole a couple of apples or a packet of sweets from a chain store are actually over. I had a chance to say this to a young offender the other day, “Sweets from a chain store?” He said, “You must be joking. That’s what kids do.” I may add that he was aged 11. In other words, today’s young criminals would find it laughable to risk being caught for petty theft of this description. They’ve got enough money in their pockets to buy the sweets they want, anyway. I think it’s all t oo easy to put the blame on anyone but ourselves.Faced as they are with a society that frequently gives them up on the grounds of color, race or low learning ability, these children turn to crime as a means of showing off their self-respect. Nurtured on films and TV glamorizing (美化) the role of the criminal, they are quick to copy these anti-heroes. It is a matter of increasing concern to the police and government that the Children and Young Persons Act, 1969, is becoming improper to deal with the rise in young criminals. Because the emphasis has been placed on the cause and gentle treatment of their crimes, rather than on old-fashioned methods of punishment, the children themselves know well that there is very little that can be done to prevent them continuing to steal, damage and in some case even cause the death of those they choose to terrorize (恐吓). I don’t like the look of this situation any more than you do. In our own interests and in those of our children and grandchildren, we cannot continue to take the “it’s nothing to do with me” attitude we h ave used for so long. We must unite in a common demand for harder and stricter methods against these young criminals.66. By raising the question “Sweets from the chain store?”, the writer was asking the boy whether _ _______.A. he wanted some sweets from a chain storeB. stealing sweets from a chain store was illegalC. he was caught while stealing from a chain storeD. the days of stealing sweets from a chain store were over67. Psychologically speaking, the reason why some youngsters commit crimes is that _______.A. they want to take revenge on societyB. they think it a way of showing their self-respectC. they are good at imitating the criminals in the filmsD. they don’t know what they are doing is against the law68. In dealing with young criminals, the writer is obviously in favor of _______.A. severe punishment once used in the pastB. showing great concern about our childrenC. more patient methods in educating young criminalsD. treating every young criminal as our own child69. In the writer’s opinion, who should be blamed most?A. TV and films.B. Young criminals.C. Police.D. Society.70 The programme was introduced by _____.A. SEED InstituteB. Nannies @ South WestC. South West CDCD. Geneagles Medical Center71.Most of the nannies _____.A. specialize in medicineB. can speak more than two languagesC. have no passion for taking care of the oldD. have had special training about health and nutrition.72.The main aim of this advertisement is to _____.A. match parents to qualified nanniesB. encourage parents to hire nanniesC. attract potential nannies to have trainingD. provide assistance to parents who need nannies73.Which of the following is true?A. South West CDC was established two years ago.B. Parents can get a list of nannies by calling or emailing.C. The cost of child care service is suggested by South West CDC.D. Parents can complain to South West CDC about their nanny’s unsatisfactory service.(C)The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby maintains that separation from the parents during the sensitive "attachment" period from birth to three may scar a child's personality and lead to emotional problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby's work that children should not be subjected to day care before the age of three because of the parental separation it causes, and many people do believe this. But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion.Firstly, anthropologists point out that the insulated love affair between children and parents found in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies. For example, in some tribal societies, such as the Ngoni, the father and mother of a child did not bringup their infant alone - far from it. Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents, care-takers found children had problems with it. Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and even if they were, the results would be certain to be complicated and controversial.Thirdly, in the last decade, there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care, and they have uniformly reported that day care had a neutral or slightly positive effect on children's development. But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue.But Bowlby's analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects. The possibility that such care might lead to, say, more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with. Children under three are likely to protest at leaving their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three or three and a half almost all children find the transition to nursery easy, and this is undoubtedly why more and more parents make use of child care at this time. The matter, then, is far from clear-cut, though experience and available evidence indicate that early care is reasonable for infants.74.The passage primarily argues whether ______.A. day care should be widely spreadB. the family relationship is different in traditional societiesC. children under three should be sent to nursery schoolsD. children over three will stop crying when leaving parents75.The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph most probably means ______.A. children’s being subjected to day careB. the conclusion from Bowlby's workC. the sensitive "attachment" periodD. a child's personality76.Which of the following statements is NOT against Bowlby's theory?A. Day care is safe, otherwise there wouldn't be so many nursery schools.B. Parents find the immediate effects of early day care difficult to deal with.C. Many studies show that day care has a positive effect on children's development.D. Separation from parent for very young children is common in some traditional societies.77.The writer's attitude towards early day care is that ______.A. children under three should stay with their parentsB. the effects of early day care on children are exaggeratedC. early day care has positive effects on children's developmentD. the issue is controversial and its settlement calls for the use of statisticsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Driving in traffic can be extremely stressful. Pedestrians appear out of nowhere, cars suddenly pull out of parking spots, and roads become slippery due to rain or snow. Knowing when to brake and when to accelerate in such situations is hard enough for a human driver, let alone a robotic one. But several carmakers – and a few tech companies – are working to convince drivers to let driverless cars take the wheel.Without question, the most anticipated benefit of driverless cars is improved safety. Driverless systems will feature sensors that detect safety threats that human drivers might miss. Many carmakers already offer systems that alert drivers whenever they get dangerously close to other cars.Also, driverless systems have the benefit of incre ased efficiency. Driverless cars won’t waste as much gas as human drivers do, and guided by advanced GPS, they’ll always take the fastest route. Once driverless cars become widely available, common people can have their own driver, and they’ll just sit back and relax while their car’s computer takes the wheel!Although completely driverless cars won’t be on the market for several years, the technology behind them is already appearing in phases. Two examples are the Active Lane Keeping Assist option for Mercedes-Benz cars and Ford’s Traffic Jam Assist. In the first option, the system warns the driver whenever the car crosses lane markings by causing the steering wheel to vibrate(振动). In the second option, the system helps the car keep pace with other cars while remaining in its current lane. The system is being developed to help relieve blocking on busy roads.Several carmakers claim that they’ll produce driverless cars within the next decade. But critics aren’t so sure, warning that a completely driverles s car must be able to make split-second decisions in even the most complex traffic situations. In addition, the car’s computer must become smart enough to know when to ask the driver to intervene (介入，干涉) to prevent an accident.Full government approval w on’t happen until driverless cars are proven safe. In the meantime, expect to see carmakers offer ever-smarter features on their new models.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS)78 One of the factors that make traffic extremely stressful is the_______________________________________________________________.79 What are the benefits of driverless system?_______________________________________________________________.80 What will happen to a car with the Active Lane Keeping Assist when it crosses lane markings?_________________________________________________________________81.

It won’t take long after you achieve it.beforeOne possible versionThe Celebration of Western FestivalsMany people are worried that Chinese culture will be ignored or even ruined by celebrating western festivals. On behalf of the for side, I think that we needn’t be over worried.Firstly, it does not necessarily ruin Chinese culture. Actually, most Chinese have not ignored their native festivals. Traditional Chinese festivals still see larger population than western festivals. Secondly, it is a part of global cultural communication. While we are absorbing advanced science and technology from foreign countries, we are also taking in different cultures. Thirdly, most Chinese, especially the youth, celebrate western festivals merely out of the wish to connect with friends and create an entertaining atmosphere.In a word, while we attach importance to the protection of traditional Chinese culture, we needn’t worry too much about the celebration of western festivals.听力原文第一节Text 1W: Excuse me, do you know how to get to the library?M: You see that teaching building ahead?

Hofman has “thrown” the Rubber Duck into some harbor cities. Last May his giant yellow duck received a warm welcome in Hong Kong. Millions of visitors from across Asia went to Victoria Harbor to see the duck and take pictures. Hong Kong business created duck-inspired products and dishes in honor of their yellow duck. And when Rubber Duck was ready to leave, thousands crowded at Victoria Harbor to wave a teary-eyed goodbye. In reality, there’s more than one Rubber Duck. Hofman uses local teams to build local models of the duck because he believes it makes repairs easier. Last fall one model was on a river in Pittsburgh while another one was in Kaohsiung! The Pittsburgh model was 12 meters, but the Kaohsiung one stands 18 meters tall.Most of Hofman’s other works are big, too, like Fat Monkey, about 15-meter-long. In addition, Steelman is an 11-meter-tall bear sculpture to inspire the area’s youth to be tough like bears!Hofman’s work appeals to all ages. Regarding Rubber Duck, Hofman believes it can help adults reduce anxiety. As he says, “The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!”。

I had to go to the airport at 9:00 a. m. to pick up my uncle Ali and take him to my father’s house. However, I was late because I was hanging out with my friends. 14 on that day, around 11:00 a. m.. I remembered my uncle , but I was very late for him. He had 15 the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house.I got to my father’s house at 2:00 p. m. that day and felt ashamed of myself at that moment. After I said hi to my 16 father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him and handed me this watch. Then he said, “Peter, did you have 17 with your friends today?” I answered, “Yes, father, and I apologized for not meeting my uncle Ali.”He said,” What you 18 was not very nice and you should be sorry for your 19 . I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a reminder for you.”I learned a very important lesson from my father: to respect time and never to be 20 toget someone.11.A. makes B. organizes C. orders D. supplies12.A. received B. borrowed C. ordered D. begged13.A. confident B. dependent C. enjoyable D. responsible14.A.

But it’s quite 21 to do it in front of a stadium full of people! In book Oops, authors tell of such slip-ups. One occurred during a 22 match between two Brazilian teams. The first goal was scored within three seconds after kickoff. What made the score 23 hard for the team’s fans to take was the fact that it was made while their goalie was still on one knee with his 24 bowed in prayer.There is certainly a(an) 25 for prayer, but this poor man learned the hard way that there is also a time for action. In fact, both are 26 in a well-lived life. As Gandhi once said, “I have so much to 27 today, I will have to meditate（沉思）two hours instead of one.” Often, however, the best spirituality 28 with the prayer of the heart, and then moves to that prayer which is lived throughout the rest of the day.Several years ago a bomb 29 outside the huge oak doors of a Greek Catholic church in Jerusalem. The heavy doors were blown 30 so that they careened（倾斜）up to the front of the sanctuary（避难所）and destroyed the chancel area. Windows were blown out, chairs were 31 ,and the balcony fell down.Dr. Ken Bailey, stopped by to 32 the damage. It took little time to determine that the priest was in shock and unable to make necessary 33 .So Dr. Bailey took it upon himself to ask the administrators at the school where he taught to close classes , and he invited the 34 to join him in helping the priest. They cleaned the church and boarded the windows to 35 stealing.The following day, Bailey again 36 on his friend. The maid confided in him that the priest did not 37 at the bomb’s destruction. However, she added,” He did cry when you and your friends helped 38 up the mess it made.” Dr. Bailey has since remarked,” I did not 39 any theology（神学）that afternoon-or did I?” If theology is about love in action, he held one of his best classes that day.

Now I am thirty-two. I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity（灾难）can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn’t been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply，otherwise. I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.Life, I believe ，asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was totally confused and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me—a potential to live, you might call it—which I didn’t see，and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. I f I hadn’t been able to do that，I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that：an assurance that I am，despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping，intricate（错综复杂的）pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt.”I can’t use this.” I said.” Take it with you,” he urged me, “and roll it around.” The words stuck in my head.” Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible：playing baseball. At Philadelphia’s Overbrook School for the blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them，one at a time.I had to learn my limitations. It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.41.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The author lost his sight because of a car crash.B. The author wouldn’t love life if the disaster hadn’t happened.C. The disaster made the author appreciate what he had.D.

A Miserable LifeB. Struggle Against DifficultiesC. A Disaster Makes a Strong PersonD. An Unforgettable ExperienceBNowadays, the food we eat seems to have great effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well，especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures.That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945，government researchers realized that nitrates，commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes，but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration（FDA）has tried repeatedly to control these procedures，the practices continue.46.Which of the following statements is NOT true？A. Some additives are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals.B. Researchers have known about the potential dangers of food additives for about sixty-eight years.C. Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons.D. Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world.47.How has science done harm to mankind?A. Because of science, diseases caused by polluted food have been virtually eliminated.B. It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.C. The scientists have preserved the color of meats，but not of vegetables.D. Because of the application of science，some potentially harmful substances have been added to food.48.What are nitrates used for?A. They preserve the color of meats.B. They preserve flavor in packaged foods.C. They are the objects of research.D. They cause the animals to become fatter.49.The word“carcinogenic”most nearly means“________”.A. trouble-makingB. color-retainingC. cancer-causingD. money-making50.Which might be the best title of the passage？A. Drug and FoodB. Food and HealthC. Cancer and HealthD. Health and DrugCPatti Page，the top-selling female artist of the 1950s with more than 100 million records sold, died on January 2nd，2013，when she was 85. She was one of the most beloved singers of the post-war era. Take her Tennessee Waltz for example; it sold more than 10 million copies and was her biggest hit.Born in Claremore, Oklahoma, a small town near Tulsa，Page originally dreamed of a career in commercial art. Her first job in the art department at a local radio station soon led to performing on her own 15-minute program.At age 20，Page was discovered by big-band leader Jack Rael, who quit his job to become her manager. In 1948，she signed her first recording contract with Mercury Records and two years later enjoyed her first hit record. She stayed with Mercury for the next 14 years and recorded hit after hit including：“With My Eyes Wide Open, I’m Dreaming”, and “Old Cape cod”.Her last hit was “Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte”，recorded for the Bette Davis movie of the same name. And then ,there was” Doggie In The Window”. The creative tune was a huge hit，but with its repeated barking sounds and silly lyrics（歌词），the song has been used by many people as an example of all that was wrong with pop music in the early 1950s.Throughout the 1950s，Patti Page made regular appearances on television variety shows and in 1957 she was chosen to host the musical program，“The Big Record”. The following year，Page appeared in her own CBS television series，“The Patti Page Show”. She continued to record and perform into the 21st century，most recently releasing an album of songs for children， a Christmas record, and a new” best of ”collection.Besides music, Patti Page did a bit of acting. She co-starred with the Oscar-winning Burt Lancaster in” Elmer Gantry”, and also starred on stage in the musical play” Annie Get Your Gun”.51.From the passage，we can know that Patti Page________.A. wanted to be an actress when youngB. was a success in commercial artC. was born in 1927 in the USD. started his work as a TV program hostess52.Which of her following recorded songs was criticized？A.“Old Cape Cod”.B.“Hush...Hush，Sweet Charlotte”.C.“Doggie In the Window”.D. “With My Eyes Wide Open, I’m Dreami ng”.53.The“Tennessee Waltz” is mentioned in the passage in order to prove that _________.A. she was a beloved singerB. her songs and acting were successfulC. she was the top-selling female artistD. she was good at acting54.Patti Page _________.A. got to know Jack Rael in 1945B. left Mercury Records at the age of 35C. appeared in” The Patti Page Show” in 1957D. began to act in the 21st century55.We can draw a conclusion that _________.A. Patti Page was a successful singer as well as a successful actressB. Patti Page gave up singing in public when she was oldC. Patti Page’s gift in art began to be shown in her teensD. Patti Page’s great success resulted from others’ helpDMy grandparents were married for over half a century, and played their own special game the time they had met each other. The goal of their game was to write the word“shmily”in a surprise place for the other to find. They took turns leaving“shmily” around the house, and as soon as one ofthem discovered it，it was their turn to hide it once more. They dragged“shmily” with their fingers through the sugar and flour containers to await whoever was preparing the next meal.“Shmily” was written in the steam left on the mirror after a hot shower, where it would reappear bath after bath. There was no end to the places where“shmily” would pop up. Little notes with“shmily” were found on car seats，or taped to steering wheels. The notes were put inside shoes and left under pillows. “Shmily”was written in the d ust upon the mantel（壁炉架）and traced in the ashes of the fireplace. This mysterious word was as much a part of my grandparents’ house as the furniture.It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate my grandparents’ game. Skepticism has kept me from believing in true love—one that is pure and lasting. However, I never doubted my grandparents’ relationship. It was based on passionate（热情的）affection which not everyone is lucky enough to experience.But there was a dark cloud in my grandparents’ life：my grandmother had breast cancer. The disease had first appeared ten years earlier. As always, Grandpa was with her every step of the way. He comforted her in their yellow room, painted that way so that she could always be surrounded by sunshine, even when she was too sick to go outside. But my grandmother grew steadily weaker until, finally, she could not leave the house anymore. Then one day，what we all feared finally happened. Grandma was gone.“Shmily.”It was written in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother’s funeral bouquet （花束）. As the crowd thinned and the last mourners turned to leave，Grandpa stepped up to my grandmother’s coffin and, taking a shaky breath, he began to sing to her. Through his tears and grief, the song came；S-h-m-i-l-y：See How Much I Love You.56.Where may the word“shmily”be found？a. in the flour containersb. on the mirrorc. on the sheet of toilet paperd. on pillowse. on the furnitureA．a，b B．b，c C．a，d D．b，e57.The author tells us in the first paragraph _________.A. what the word“shmily”meansB. how the special game was playedC. how the author felt about her grandparents’ gameD.how her grandparents cared for each other58.The underlined phrase” pop up” in Paragraph 1 means _________.A. appearB. changeC. surviveD. work59.It can be seen from the passage that the author __________.A. thought the game was meaninglessB. believes everyone can experience true loveC. doubted the existence of true love at firstD. sometimes left“shmily”around th e house60.Grandpa tried to make Grandma comfortable by __________.A. singing songs to her every dayB. painting the room yellowC. encouraging her to go outsideD. helping her take a hot shower every dayEMcDonald’s is the owrld single biggest foo d provider with annual sales of around ＄12.4bn. And the company’s symbol Ronald McDonald is now the world’s most recognized person after Santa Claus.The first McDonald’s restaurant was opened in San Bernardino，California, in 1948 by brothers Mac and Dick McDonald. Mac ran the restaurant side; Dick was the marketing genius. He had already invented the drive-in laundry and had been the first person to use neon lights in advertising. Now he spotted the gap in the post-war，baby-boom marker for cheap, family-orientated restaurants with simple menus, standardized food and efficient service.After a slow start, business began to boom. By 1954，the brothers were joined by another entrepreneur，a kitchen equipment salesman called Ray A Kroc who owned the franchise to theMultimixer，milk shake maker used throughout the McDonald’s chain. A year later，Kroc had bought the McDonald brothers’ chain of 25 franchises for the equivalent of around ＄70m （￡44m）.Dick remained with the company until the Seventies，when he and Kroc Fell out over Kroc’s claim that the chain was his creation.Today，an almost Stalinist cult of personality surrounds Kroc （who died in 1984）at McDonald’s, while the brothers who gave the company its name have all but been written out of its history. But though Kroc did not found McDonald’s, he was certainly responsible for the empire-building philosophy which led to its world domination. He ushered in such essential contributions to international cuisine as the Big Mac（1968）and the Egg McMuffin （1937）；and helped launch Ronald McDonald-“in any language he means fun”-on to television in 1963.Every three hours, a new McDonald’s franchise opens somewhere in the world; it can be found in more than 100 countries including India（vegetarian-only to avoid offending the non-beef-eating populace）and Israel（non kosher, despite fierce local objection）. McDonald’s chain embodied the thrusting, can-do spirit of Fifties America with staff mottoes such as” If you’ve got time to lean, you’ve go time to clean.”61.What’s th e main idea of the passage？A. Where can McDonald’s go in the future？B. How McDonald’s was founded.C. How McDonald’s was distributed to the world.D. McDonald’s start and development.62.McDonald’s was founded __________.A. by a kitchen equipment salesmanB. by two brothers in CaliforniaC. before the first world warD. after the first World War63.What do we know about McDonald’s brothers?A. They were not McDonald’s founders although they named the restaurant.B.Their business was still in depression after several years.C. They had clear job separation on business.D. They sold their restaurant to a salesman in 1954.64.Which is not Kroc’s contribution to McDonald’s？A. He launched the restaurant image Ronald McDonald on to television.B. Under his lead, international cuisine as the Big Mac and the Egg McMuffin earned worldwide fame.C. He spotted the gap in postwar market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants.D. He built McDonald’s empire with a philosophy which led to its world domination.65.Which statement is true according to the passage?A. The single biggest food provider was however, not named after its founder.B. The international cuisine as the Big Mac, a beef hamburger, is provided every chain restaurant in the world.C. Employees in McDonald’s have no time to lean.D. The symbol Ronald McDonald，which means fun in any laguage, is said to be the world’s most recognized person after Santa Claus.第II卷第一节阅读表达（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）［1］If you don’t have good nutrition（营养），you’re missing a key weapon against colds.

It was an 36 referral in that no information was received 37 her first appointment. I was told to ―play it by ear‖, and to38 what her problems were and what she needed.39 an examination to go on, I saw Roz as an unhappy, misunderstood young woman who hadn’t been listened to in her earlier treatment. Her family situation was unpleasant. I didn’t see her as disturbed, 40 rather as lonely and misunderstood. She responded so 41 to being heard. I encouraged her to start a life worth living — to find a job, a satisfying place to live and new relationships. We hit it off well, and she 42 making important changes in her life.The records from the previous psychiatric clinic arrived a month after Roz and I began oursuccessful work together. To my complete surprise, her records were several inches thick, 43 a long period of psychiastric hospitalization. Her diagnosis was ―paranoid schizophrenic(妄想型精神分裂症)‖, with a 44 that she was ―hopeless‖.That had not been my experience with Roz at all so I decided to forget those pieces of paper.I never treated her as if she had that ―hopeless‖ treatment. I did find out about the horrors for Roz of the hospitalization, of being drugged, separated and abused. I also learned a lot from her about 45 such deeply and unforgettably shocking circumstances.First Roz found a job, then a place to live away from her difficult 46 . After several months of working together, she introduced me to her husband-to-be, a successful businessman who adored her.When we 47 our treatment, Roz gave me the gift of a silver bookmark and a note that said, ―Thank you for believing and encouraging me.‖【1】A. uncertain B. unfortunate C. unconscious D. unusual【2】A. apart from B. away from C. ahead of D. out of【3】A. figure out B. clear up C. turn out D. bring up【4】A.

Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include organic fabrics in their lines.The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, a cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to find. ―Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren’t comparable materials that can just replace what you’re doing and what your customers are used to,‖ he says. For example,organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents(等同物).Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influentialtrade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable. It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional cotton at higher prices, thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material. ―Main-stream is about to occur,‖ says Hahn.Some analysts are less sure. Among consumers, only 18% are even aware that eco-fashion exists, up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer. When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied, ―Not that I’m aware of.‖ Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she’s on the hunt for ―cute stuff that isn’t too expensive.‖ By her own admission, green just isn’t yet on her mind. But thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers—one day it will be. 【1】What is said about Future Fashion?A. It inspired leading designers to start going green.B. It showed that designers using organic fabrics would go far.C. It served as an example of how fashion shows should be organized.D. It convinced the public that fashionable clothes should be made durable.【2】According to Scott Hahn, one big challenge to designers who will go organic is that ________.A. much more time is needed to finish a dress using sustainable materialsB. they have to create new brands for clothes made of organic materialsC. customers have difficulty telling organic from non-organic materialsD. quality organic replacements for synthetics are not readily available【3】We learn from Paragraph 3 that designers who undertake green fashion ________.A. can attend various trade shows for freeB. are readily recognized by the fashion worldC. can buy organic cotton at favorable pricesD. are gaining more and more support 【4】What is Natalie Hormilla’s attitude toward eco-fashion?A. She doesn’t seem to care about it.B. She doesn’t think it is sustainable.C. She is doubtful of its practical value.D. She is opposed to the idea very much.【5】What does the author think of green fashion?A. Green products will soon go main stream.B. It has a very promising future.C. Consumers have the final say.D. It will appeal more to young people.CBEIJING—As China scrambles to respond to the choking smog that has blanketed Beijing in recent weeks, authorities in several major cities are experimenting with carbon trading platforms. The schemes are one effort to get control over greenhouse gases in an economy still hungry for cheap energy.It has been a persistent concern in recent years, but the spiking pollution levels in January are sparking a public outcry.Emissions from coal-fired electricity plants and busy factories are part of the problem that officials hope to get control over through carbon trading platforms. Seven cities are expected toopen carbon markets later this year, including Tianjin.―The government has decided to start with programs because the carbon trading i s something new to China,‖ said David Tang, secretary of the board of the Tianjin Carbon Exchange. ―So we want to have a number of programs to explore the use of the market.‖ said Tang.China wants to launch a national carbon trading program by 2016. If it is successful, analysts say, the program would be one of the largest in the world and would help the country meet its target of cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 45 percent within seven years.The platforms allow companies to earn credits for lowering greenhouse gas emissions, which can then be traded. If it works, it would encourage for-profit businesses to invest in green technology.As public concern builds pressure for the government to find a solution, Wu Changhua, greater China director of the Climate Group, says there is a broad shift under way in how Chinese weigh their quality of life.China has long put economic growth ahead of environmental concerns, making it the world’s biggest polluter. Carbon trading supporters hope that the markets could be one way to curb pollution and keep the economy growing.【1】Which of the following is TRUE about carbon trading platforms?A.They are used to trade various resources.B. They caused the choking smog in China.C. They have been in existence for many years in China.D. The choking smog may promote their development.【2】The underlined word in Paragraph 1 means ― ______‖.A.to make blanketB. to cover somethingC. to make something emptyD. to be like a blanket【3】Tang’s att itude towards carbon markets is ______.A. unknownB. indifferentC. optimisticD. pessimistic 【4】What can we infer from the passage?A. China will have built a national carbon trading program by 2016.B. Chinese have lived a life of high quality in all aspects.C. The markets could slow the development of economy.D. Standards of life will be changed in China.【5】What's the main idea of this passage?A. The choking smoke in China.B. The urge for carbon trading platforms.C. Greenhouse gases.D. The world’s biggest polluter.PART FOUR WRITING (45%)SECTION A (10%)Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.A professor of environmental health and his students began studying the idea of rooftop gardening for cities. ―I think vertical farming is an idea that can work in a big way,‖ said Despommier.Why would we want to build skyscrapers filled with vegetables when we’ve been farming on the ground for 10,000 years? Because as the world’s population grows—from 7 billion now to asmuch as 9 billion by 2050—we could run out of productive soil and water. Most of the population growth will occur in cities that can’t easi ly feed themselves. And the fact is that modern agriculture as well as everything associated with it – chemical fertilizers and transportation full of carbon—is a significant contributor to climate change, and suddenly vertical farming doesn’t seem so magic in the sky.―V ertical farming could allow food to be grown locally and sustainably,‖ says Glen Kertz, CEO of Valcent. The result saves space — vital in urban areas — and allows farmers to irrigate and fertilize with far less waste.At Valcent’s El Pas o lab, crops grow in rows on conveyor belts. Moving them gives the plants the precise amount of light and nutrients needed, letting them grow 15 times as much vegetable as on a normal farm with 5% of the water that traditional agriculture does.Despommier plans to build a 30-story, city-block-size vertical farm that would have transparent walls to maximize sunlight and would produce enough food for 50, 000 people. But it would cost hundreds of millions to build a full-scale skyscraper farm. That’s the main drawback: construction and energy costs would probably make vertically raised food more costly than traditional crops.SECTION B (10 %)Directions : Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.When older honeybees take on tasks usually handled by younger bees, aging of their brains is effectivelychanged, a new study finds. The discovery suggests that in humans, social involvement ought to be consideredin addition to drugs as a way to treat age-related dementia(痴呆).―We knew from previous research that when bees stay in the nest and take care of larvae—the beebabies---they remain mentally able as long as we observe them,‖ explained Gro Amdam, who led the researchat Arizona State Unive rsity. ―However, after a period of nursing, bees fly out gathering food and begin agingvery quickly.‖―After just two weeks, foraging(觅食的)bees have worn wings, hairless bodies, and more importantly,lose the brain function—-basically measured as the ability to learn new things,‖ Amdam said in a statement.Amdam and his colleagues wanted to find out what would happen if they ―asked‖ the foraging bees totake care of larval babies again. To find out, they removed younger nurse bees from a nest, leaving the olderforaging bees to face a choice: forage or care for the larvae. Some of the older returned to searching for food,and others switched to caring for the nest and larvae. After ten days, about fifty percent of the older bees thathad chosen to care for the nest and larvae had ―greatly improved their ability to learn new things.‖The researchers also discovered changes in the proteins in the brains of the bees whose learning ability hadimproved. One of the proteins that changed, called Prx6, is also found in humans and is known to help protectagainst dementia.―Maybe social involvement is something we can do today to help our brains stay younger,‖ Amdam says.―Since the proteins being researched in people are the same proteins bees have, these proteins may be able torespond to specific social experiences.‖Other studies have shown several non-drug methods can help improve brainpower in older people,including going for walks and taking music lessons.The findings, announced this week, are detailed in the journal Experimental Gerontology.【1】What does the underlined word ―they‖ in Paragraph 4 refer to? （No more than 5 words）【2】When do the brains of older bees age very fast? （No more than 9 words）【3】What is Amdam’s suggesti on for old people to prevent dementia? （No more than 6 words）【4】What is the best title for the text? （No more than 6 words）SECTION C (25%)书面表达：请根据以下提示，并结合事例，用英语写一篇短文。

ATerrie Hall, a cancer patient who made great contributions to the national anti-smoking ad campaign, died at the age of 53.When she was a young woman Terrie started smoking in high school. “I thought it was a cool thing to do.” she said. The smoking caused throat cancer and oral cancer and the surgeries and radiation treatment took away her natural voice. But they also brought out a level of bravery and strength of character that amazed all of us.In a society where women are often judged by their looks, Terrie did not hide the scars on her face caused by smoking. The scars on her jaw where part of her jaw had been cut out and on her throat where her larynx（喉）had been removed, only made her more determined to speak, especially to young people at school. She wanted young people to know the truth about tobacco.She became known around the world through her participation in CDC’s smoking ad campaign. The ad where she showed how she got ready each day—putting on her wig（假发）, putting her hands-free device in the hole in her throat—is hard to watch.Her video has become the most-viewed video ever on CDC’ YouTube pages with, over 2.5 million viewings, and has inspired more comments than any other CDC video. Her second ad, which touched on the fact that her grandchild never heard her precancerous voice, inspired thousands more to quit.Lisa Hancock, a mother of a five-year-old child and a smoker smoking one pack to two packs of cigarettes a day, said she had tried to quit many time, before, but seeing Terrie’s ad helped her realize that smoking really did cause other types of cancer besides lung cancer, and helped motivate her to quit for good health.Just a few weeks after the second ad, Terrie’s doctors, found her cancer caused by smoking bad spread to her brain. In her remaining days, she chose to keep fighting and keep working to save lives by showing the real consequences of cigarette smoking. She insisted on being filmed in hospital just two days before her death, sharing the final effects of Smoking on her body.The disease that finally took her life never touched her great spirit. That spirit, the selfless work she did and the tens of thousands of lives she saved are Terrie Hall’s great legacies.21. Terrie Hall earned the respect of the public ________.A. because she fought against cancer bravelyB. because she inspired people to quit smokingC. because she started the anti-smoking campaignD. because she was asked to be filmed in hospital22. Knowing she had cancer Terrie must be ______.A. disappointedB. confusedC. regretfulD. anxious23. What does the sixth paragraph imply?A. Terrie’s ad shook Lisa up.B. Lisa paid little attention to her kid.C. Lisa has smoked for two years.D. Terrie popularized the knowledge of cancer.24. What does the author think of Terrie ?A. She shouldn’t have been filmed in hospital.B. She must have moved the public deeply.C. She should have accepted the doctor’s advice.D. She must have caused a shock in the world.BA recent survey showed that doctors in America are warning of an obesity time bomb, when children who are already overweight grow up. So, what should we do? Exercise more? Eat less? Or both? The government feels it has to take responsibility for this expanding problem.The cheerful Mr. Pickwick, the hero of the novel by Charles Dickens, is seen in illustrations as someone who is plump and happy. In the 18th century paintings, beauty is equated （使…等同）with rounded bodies and soft curves. But nowadays being overweight is seen as indicating neither a cheerful character nor beauty but an increased risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.So what do you do? Diet? Not according to England’s chief medical officer, Sir Liam Donaldson. He says that physical activity is the key for reducing the risks of obesity, cancer and heart disease. And the Health Secretary John Reid even said that being inactive is as serious a risk factor in heart disease as smoking.So, having bought some cross trainers, how much exercise should you do? According to Sir Liam Donaldson, at least 30 minutes of moderate activity five days a week. Is going to the gym the answer? Luckily for those who think that running machines are boring, the Health Development Agency believes that physical activity that fits into people’s lives may be more effective. They suggest taking the stairs rather than the lilt, walking up escalators, playing active games with your children, dancing or gardening. And according to a sports psychologist, Professor Biddle, gyms “are not making the nation fit”, and may even cause harm.There’s new scientific evidence that too much exercise may actually be bad for you. Scientists at the University of Ulster have found that unsuitable exercise releases dangerous free radicals that can oppositely affect normal function in unfit people. The only people who should push their bodies to that level of exercise on a regular basis are trained athletes.So, should we f orget about gyms and follow some expert’s advice to reduce sedentary（久坐不动的）activities and increase exercise in our daily life? After all, getting off the bus a stop early and walking the rest of the way can’t do any harm! One final thought, how come past generations lacked gym facilities but were leaner and fitter than people today?25. Mr. Pickwick and the paintings of the 18th century are used as examples to show that _______.A. beauty should be overweightB. a fat man is usually a cheerful characterC. fatness was considered something good at one timeD. fatness leads to an increased risk of disease26. According to Sir Liam Donaldson, we should _______.A. go on a dietB. do regular physical activityC. give up smokingD. go to the gym27. The underlined phrase cross trainers probably refers to ________.A. people who help you do exerciseB. places where you can do exerciseC. a kind of shoesD. a form of vehicles28. What is the passage mainly about?A. how to keep fit and avoid fatness.B. increased risks for overweight people.C. the dangers of exercise in the gym.D. the benefit or a balanced diet.CThe brown widow spider became established in Southern California in early 2000 and has become part of the local spider family in urban Los Angeles and San Diego. The brown widow spider is continuing its expansion in Southern California and could possibly move northward into Central California.The brown widow is suspected to have evolved in Africa although it was first described-from South America, which adds confusion as to where it might have originated. It is a tropical and subtropical spider having established populations in Hawaii, Florida, parts of Australia, South Africa and Japan. In North America, the brown widow was restricted for many decades to the Florida peninsula. However, around the year 2000, it started showing up in other Gulf Coast states. Brown widows are now known from Texas to Georgia and South Carolina.The brown widow builds its web in protected sites around homes and in woody vegetation with branches. Some typical sites selected by brown widows for web building are empty containers such as buckets and nursery pots, mail boxes, entry way comers, under eaves, storage closets and garages, undercarriages of motor vehicles that are stationary for long periods, and the undersides of outdoor furniture. They choose places that are more exposed than sites chosen by black widows and therefore, appear to be at higher risk for interactions with humans as far as bites are concerned.One recent study demonstrates that the brown widow spider is less poisonous than other widow species. The reason for the weaker effect of brown widow bites on humans is possibly because the brown widow does not have much poison as its larger relatives, but it is really a threat to humans as to its poison. The two major symptoms or a brown widow bite were that the bite hurt when it was given and it left a red mark. These two symptoms are not much different from the bite of normal household spiders.There is no specific information regarding the control of brown widows by farm chemicals. Most current advice is what is used for controlling spiders in general. Therefore, most commercially available farm chemicals should work on brown widows. Avoiding a mess of the house and the garage should reduce nest sites for them. Also, one should store garage items in plastic bags where there might be interactions with spiders. These items include rarely worn garments such as gardening clothes and gloves, recreational items like sports equipment（i.e., baseball gloves）and other items where spiders can crawl up into holes where fingers can be inserted.29. The author wrote this article to ________.A. announce the result of a research on spidersB. introduce the ways to get rid of the spidersC. warn readers against the brown widowD. report a new finding of the widow species30. From the passage we can conclude that ________.A. the brown widow originated from AfricaB. brown widows are spreading northwardC. brown widows now can be found in all countriesD. there used to be no brown widows in North America31. The third paragraph is mainly about ________.A. the habitat preferences of the brown widowB. the characteristics of the brown widowC. the brown wido w’s web buildingD. the brown widow’s threaten to human beings32. It can be inferred that ________.A. brown widows can be killed with any farm chemicalsB. victims bitten by the brown widow needn’t see the doctorC. the brown widow has more poison than the black widowD. at present people can only control brown widow spidersD33. A student from Japan who has been studying in England for a year and intends to go tocollege in a few months will ________.A. get money if taking a first degree courseB. get money from LEA when finishing his courseC. be unable to get money from any LEAD. have to open a bank account before getting money34.

ATo American visitors, Iceland is a very interesting country, partly because it is different in so many ways from he or she is used to seeing at home. There are quite a few things that are not done, or that do not exist on the island---quite a few “No’s”.There is no pollution, for instance, No dogs are permitted in Reykjavik, the capital. There is no television on Thursdays or during the entire month of July, and only three hours of black-and-white TV the rest of the time. There is no hard liquor on Wednesdays and no beer at any time. There is no handguns; only one jail of thirty-five cells（狱室）in the entire land---an admirable figure, even for a small country of 313,376 people.There is no army, air force or navy. There is no tipping for anything. There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays. Since Iceland is situated just under the Arctic Circle, there is no darkness in summer and no daylight in winter. But thanks to Culf Stream, the climate is rather mild, with temperatures ranging from 34 degrees to 52 degrees in July.The rules on television liquor and guns are the result of government decisions. But the absence of pollution is due in great part to the fact that Iceland gets its power from the enormous geyser and the thousands of hot springs that come out of the ground. They provide all the energy needed by the country. In fact, Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power.Iceland has been described as a democratic independent country where more fish are caught and more books published per person than anywhere else in the world. The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature. They composed their first books in the ninth and tenth centuries AD. These works were poems and tales about the kings, heroes, and heroines of Iceland and Norway. At first, the storieswere memoried and passed from generation to generation. They were finally written down between1140 and 1220. The Icelanders have never stopped writing ever since. “Rather shoeless than bookless,” they proudly say.1. American visitors enjoy visiting Iceland probably because_______.A. no dogs are permitted in the capitalB. the police do not carry handgunsC. the climate is rather mildD. it is very different from Americans2. The following statements are true EXCEPT________.A. there are no soldiers in IcelandB. the Icelanders don’t drink beerC. there is no tip of any kindD. there are no crimes in Iceland3. There is no pollution in Iceland mainly because_______.A. Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available powerB. the Icelanders use hot water from the ground below as their energyC. it is located just under the Arctic CircleD. it is a democratic independent country4. “Rather shoeless than bookless” means_______.A. they prefer not to have shoe or booksB. they would rather have shoes on than write booksC. they prefer travelling to readingD. they regard books more important than shoes.BLast July, my 12-year-old car died on California’s Santa Ana Freeway. It was hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn't reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I’d just head east. A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. “Four more lights,” she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night. She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield. It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver. “I just can’t leave you here,” she said. “This isn’t the nicest place. I will give you a ride home.” “You will drive me home in the bus?” I asked, perplexed. “No, I’ll take you in my car,” she said. “It’s a long way,” I protested. “Come on,” she said. “I have nothing else to do.” As we drove from the station in her car,, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan（乐善好施者）picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I’m just passing the favor along,” she said. When I offered her money as a thank you, she wouldn’t hear of it. “That wouldn’t make it a favor,” she said. “Just do something nice to somebody. Pass it along.”5. Why did the writer say that he would have a long night?A. He wondered how long he had to wait for the next bus.B. No driver would give him a ride.C. He didn’t know th e routes.D. He perhaps would haveto take a taxi.6. Why did the writer change his mind after waiting for 30 minutes at the end of the route?A. No bus would come at the time.B.A taxi ride would be more comfortable.C. He became impatient and a bit worried.D. He knew the driver would never returnCPeople from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions---and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.“We show that Easterners and We sterners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect the mouth.”According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used reliably to convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the facial movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 Eastern Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made signifi cantly more errors than did Westerners. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emo tion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.9. The discovery shows that Westerners______.A. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouthB. consider facial expressionsuniversally reliableC. observe the eyes and the mouth in different waysD. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expression10. What were the people asked to do in the study?A. To make a face at each otherB. To get their faces impressiveC. To classify some face picturesD. To observe the resea rchers’ facesDStarting a bank a child’s play? Absolutely, if you ask some enterprising youngsters in India, who have not only managed to establish one, but also, unlike many of the large International banks, run it successfully since 2001. What’s even more impressive is that the young bankers and their 90,004---clients are all homeless!The Children’s Develop ment Khazana (treasure) opened its first branch in 2001 at a homeless shelter in New Deli as a way to help the street children protect their hard-earned money from thieves. Since then, the idea has caught on like wildfire. Today, Khazana has 12 branches all across New Deli, with a total of Rupees 12lakh (about 22,000USD) in deposits. Not only that, there are now 77 affiliated branches in other parts of Asia, ranging from Nepal, Bangladesh and Afghanistan to the island of Sri Lanka, and even Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia. While no deposit or balance is too small for the bank, they do have strict regulations about where the money is earned from. Funds obtained by begging or selling drugs are not welcomed at this bank !Also, unlike the real banks, all employees are volunteers, which means that they go to school or a paying job during the day and work at the bank in the evening. To ensure that everybody gets a chance to participate in running the branch, two volunteer managers are elected from the clients base every six months.Karan, the current manager is just 14-year-old. During the day he earns a living by helping out the cleaning crew at wedding banquets and other big parties. In the evening, he handles the deposits（存款）and withdrawals（取款）in the bank. After the bank closes, he along with an adult volunteer from the shelter head over to a regular bank and deposit the funds collected into Khazana’s interest-bearing bank account and though it started with one single purpose. The Children’s Development Khazana is today a well-developed bank, one kids can not only deposit money which earns them 5% interest, but also, request loans for family emergencies, to starta business or even to pay for school.13. The initial aim of starting the Children’s Developmen t Khazana is to______.A. provide for jobs for homeless childrenB. help homeless families with emergenciesC. sponsor homeless children to go to schoolD. safeguard homeless children’s hard-earned money14. The children’s Development Khazana is d ifferent from regular banks in that_______.A. all its workers are street childrenB. it pays its customers no interestC. customers can be made its managersD. it opens in the evening six montha year15. According to the passage, the Ch ildren’s Development Khazana________.A. welcomes all money, however small it isB. offers more and better service than beforeC. is run by a 14-year-old boy, Karan aloneD. has more than 70 branches across India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。

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

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

Millions more live with adults who are sick from AIDS.Lucie Cluver from Oxford University in England has studied children of AIDS(AIDS orphaned children and children living with sick adults) in South Africa. She says children can be deeply affected by their experiences. And one of the biggest impacts we see is mental health, their psychological health. So, for example, we see that AIDS orphaned children have very much higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress disorder than children who have a live parent or children whose parents have died of other causes. Lucie Cluver says children have to live with the sense of shame connected to AIDS. Many are abused(欺负) at school or excluded from the community.Children living with sick adults are more likely to live in poverty and face physical and emotional abuse. Also, Lucie Cluver says the children often become the caregivers. They’re missing school to go and get medication. They’re often taking them to the toilet, cleaning their wounds or washing their bedclothes. So these kids find it ve ry stressful and upsetting. They’re very worried about the health and feel responsible for the health of the sick person. Close contact with sick adults can sometimes spread tuberculosis(肺结核) or other diseases. And, as Lucie Cluver said, even when the children are in school, paying attention can be difficult. It’s constantly on their minds and really making it difficult for them to do well at school. She calls for testing more children for tuberculosis. She also calls for giving more parents the drugs needed to keep them healthy longer with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.There are programs to help children, but there is “far more to be done.” Interventions(干预治疗) and support groups are “urgently needed” for those orphaned by AIDS or living with sick adults. But the evidence for which interventions are effective “is still thin”.72. The topic of the passage is __________.A. children of AIDS doing badly at schoolB. more and more children suffering from AIDSC. children of AIDS facing mental problemsD. an increasing number of people dying of AIDS73. According to Lucie Cluver, AIDS orphaned children have very much higher levels ofdepression mainly because they __________.A. have a sense of shame connected to AIDSB. cannot focus their attention on study at schoolC. are more likely to be affected with tuberculosisD. often have to miss school to look after their sick parents74. We can infer from the last paragraph that __________.A. enough has been done for children of AIDSB. interventions prove very effective for children of AIDSC. nothing can be done to help children except interventionsD. interventions may be useful for helping children of AIDS75. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The first case of AIDS occurred 30 years ago.B. Children whose parents are infected with AIDS often help with housework.C. Children whose parents have died of causes other than AIDS don’t have stress disorder.D. Children don’t have psychological problems when their parents are still alive with HIV. Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph.There is one extra heading which you do not need.Making informed choices before and during your trip is the single most important thing you can do to become a responsible traveler. With a little planning, you can improve the quality of your trip, while making a real difference to the people and places you visit.76. ______________________________Search the web and consult guidebooks to start your pre-trip homework. Look for information and resources on eco tourism. Ecotourism Explorer, TIES’ interactive online directory, makes searching for your perfect eco-holiday easy! Choose guidebooks with information on your destination’s environmental, social and political issues, and read before booking.77. ______________________________Call or email tour operators that have firsthand knowledge of the place you are considering visiting. Check the websites of all accommodations. Let tour operators/hotels know that you are a responsible consumer. Before you book, ask about their social and environmental policies. For instance - What is your environmental policy? What percentage of your employees are local citizens? Do you support any projects to benefit the local community?78. ______________________________Are the businesses you’re considering certified? Do they have eco-label ratings, or have they won eco-awards? Have you heard of the AAA or 5-star rating systems? These long-standing labels judge hotel quality and services. Many certification programs have also been created in tourism to rate the environmental and social impacts of tourism businesses. These programs are important tools for distinguishing genuine ecotourism companies, products or services from those that are merely using “eco-” as a marketing tool to attract consumers. More and more companies have earned eco-labels, and we encourage you to purchase from these businesses.79. ______________________________A growing number of tourism businesses are helping to financially and materially support community projects and offering travelers the opportunity to get involved. Many of TIES members around the globe are leading the efforts to give back to local communities and enhance the livelihoods of local people through ecotourism. We encourage you to contribute to and participate in these projects, and support those companies that are making positive impacts on the lives of local hosts.80. ______________________________Don’t Be Fooled by green-washing. “Eco” is a fashionable label used widely in the tourism industry. It sounds appealing, but much of what is marketed as “eco” is simply traditional tourism with superficial changes. So it’s important to check behind the labels.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.A finding in recent years shows that men cannot manufacture blood as efficiently as women can. This makes surgery riskier for men. Men also need more oxygen because they do not breathe as often as women. But men breathe more deeply and this exposes them to another risk. They draw more of the air into their lungs when it is polluted.Men’s bones are larger than women’s and they are arranged somewhat differently. The female walk that causes so many whistles is a matter of bone structure. A man has broader shoulders and a narrower pelvis(骨盆), which makes him walk with no waste moti on. A woman’s wider pelvis, designed for childbearing, forces her to put more movement into each step she takes with the result that she displays a bit of jiggle and sway(摇摆) as she walks.If you think a man is brave because he can climb a ladder to clean the roof, don’t forget it is easier for him than for a woman. The angle at which a woman’s thigh(大腿) is joined to her knees makes climbing difficult for her, whether it is a ladder or stairs or a mountain that she is climbing.A man’s skin is thicker than a woman’s and not nearly as soft. This prevents the sun’s radiation from getting through, which is why men wrinkle less than women do. Women have a thin layer of fat just under the skin and there is a plus to this greater fat reserve. It acts as an invisible fur coat to keep a woman warmer in the winter. Women also stay cooler in summer because the fat layer helps protect them against heat. Men’s fat is distributed differently. And they do not have that layer of it underneath their skin. In fact, they have considerably less fat than women and more muscle. 41 percent of a man’s body is muscle compared to thirty-five percent for women, which means that men have more muscle power. The higher proportion of muscle to fat makes it easier for men to lose weight. Muscle burns up five more calories a pound than fat does just to maintain itself. So when a man wants to lose weight, the pounds roll off much faster.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) 81. What is this passage mainly about?_______________________________________________________________________________82. That men breathe more deeply can result in a risk of _____________________________.83. The female walk with a bit of jiggle and sway is caused by the fact that ____________________________________________________________________.84. Why do women lose weight more difficultly than men?_______________________________________________________________________________第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I.

AIts a name that needs no addresses. Everyone knows Santa Claus lives at the North Pole.So letters sent to Santa Claus find their way to the small town of North Pole deep in Alaska，including those simply addressed to Santa. Last year，120，000 letters arrived from 26 countries，not including the thousands with no return addresses.Those who have return addresses usually get a reply and a North Pole postmark that has delighted children all over the world for decades. They feel happy to receive Santas reply.Letters arrive all the year round in the town of 1，600，where streets have names such as Santa Claus Lane and Kris Kringle Drive. Around Thanksgiving，they start pouring in bythe thousands each day as Christmas approaches. Even letters without stamps get through，an exception for the U.S. Postal Service.“This is special because it has Santas name on it，”said Debra Cornelius，a supervisor at the main post office in nearby Fairbanks，where the letters are kept during the holiday.Gabby Gaborik is among several dozen volunteers who are busy sending off replies to children who sent return addresses.In his 10 years as a volunteer，Gaborik has seen every kind of wish. There are children who want the latest toys they see on TV. There are children who ask for miracles，some wanting their mother back for Christmas or their father back from Iraq，even though he died there.Replies get a North Pole postmark，including a halfmoon drawing of Santas face. Even late letters get a reply. Gaborik said，“It says something like ‘Thanks for writing. Santas been really busy，anything the children might want to hear.”21. Letters written to Santa Claus without an address can arrive at the North Pole because .A. all letters without an address are sent thereB. people believe that Santa Claus lives thereC. this kind of letter is sent with a special postmarkD. streets named Santa Claus Lane can be found there22. We can know from the text that .A. letters written to Santa Claus are sent freeB. Santa Claus replies to children always arrive at ChristmasC. therere thousands of letters sent to Santa Claus every monthD. many people write to children for Santa Claus asking for no pay 29. Whats the purpose of the Sapling Project？A. To beautify the city.B. To educate the children.C. To solve the noise problem.D. To benefit the next generation.30. The Sapling Project is special in .A. its types of treesB. its planting placesC. planting trees to save forestsD. getting country people involved31. What can we know about the Sapling Project？A. Few people have joined it.B. It has a history of two years.C. It charges people a little money for the saplings.D. Participants are responsible to care for the saplings.DNot all research begins with a plan. Some studies begin by accident. Meredith Schafer says that is what happened with her and Cynthia Sagers. Cynthia Sagers is a biology professor at the University of Arkansas. Meredith Schafer is a graduate student.They were traveling in the state of North Dakota on a project. They noticed pretty yellow flowers. They recognized them as canola. Farmers grow canola for seeds to make cooking oil. Canola is also used for animal feed and biofuel.But the canola plants they saw were not growing in farm fields. They were growing along the road. The researchers decided to test the plants. They had brought along special testing papers for the project they were working on. They broke up some of the leaves in water and added the test paper.The results showed that the weedy canola plants contained genetic （基因的）changes. If a plant is genetically modified，that means its genes have been changed to produce desired qualities，which may have higher economical value.This summer，the researchers from Arkansas went back to North Dakota. This time they went on a road trip to find canola. They traveled more than 5，000 kilometers. They stopped aboutevery eight kilometers to count plants and take samples to test in their vehicle. What they found，they say，was the first discovery in the United States of wild canola plants with modified genes.Meredith Schafer presented the findings at a recent meeting of the Ecological Society of America.The scientists found canola plants in almost half of the places they investigated. They tested a total of 288 plants. They found that 80% of those plants contained genes from genetically engineered canola.Some crop plants are modified to resist damage from the chemicals that farmers spray to kill weeds. There are two proteins that can give canola the ability to resist two commonly used weed killers. One protein gives resistance against glyphosate（草甘膦）. The other protein gives resistance against glufosinate（草铵膦）. Two of the plants growing in the wild showed resistance to both kinds of weed killers. Professor Sagers says canola varieties with these genetic qualities have not been released on the market. This suggests the result of wild populations reproducing on their own.32. What was the purpose of Cynthia Sagers and Meredith Schafer traveling in North Dakota？A. To carry out a project on canola plants.B. To work on a project we dont know.C. To make a research on genetic changes.D. To present their findings at a meeting.33. In what way do the wild canola plants differ from those growing in farm fields？A. They have naturally modified genes.B. They produce more cooking oil.C. They are more easily damaged.D. They are able to kill weeds.34. Which of the following is NOT true？A. All researches do not begin with plans.B. Some discoveries were made by chance.C. Modified genes were invented by biologists.D. Most weedy canola contained genetic changes.35. We can infer from the passage that .A. farmers grow canola for seeds to make cooking oilB. some plants are genetically modified to adapt to surroundingsC. farmers have begun to grow genetically modified canolaD.those wild plants contained genes from genetically engineered canola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。
