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。

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.

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。
