AAs we know, many teen celebrities(名人) feel and think that having a slimmer figure can do great goo d to them. But, does size really matter? Are teenage fans trying hard to become like their celebrity idols(偶像)? Do celebrities really have the power to influence people, e specially teenagers?For the longest time, many parents blame teen idols for influenc ing the way their kids act. Have you noticed how teens idolize t he celebrities these days? Even, their personal affairs are being followed by kids these days. Take for example the case of Lind say Lohan of Mary Kate Ashley. They are definitely famous tee n stars. But, since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business, their health and body suffer. M any kids are aware of this problem. But they are easily influenc ed by these celebrities to exercise and eat less.It is a fact that the media, and especially famous teen celebrities, can influence people powerfully. But teenagers are easily infl uenced because teenage years are the period when our person ality and identity developments take place. Teens watching TV shows and reading magazines are easily pulled into the dieting and harmful eating habits because the media have some ways t o pull these acts. They use thin models and celebrities to endor se(做广告宣传) products or to star in an up-and –coming shows or movies. With fierce competition, celebrities ar e forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that come their way.Living in today’s time and generation is a bit disturbing to a lot o f parents. Media, especially as well as the celebrities, have a ve ry powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad. It’s goo d that we can control ourselves to avoid bad things from happe ning. If not, parents should really be aware and guide their teen s to determine what’s in ad what’s out.21. From the passage we can find Lindsay Lohan .A. lives an unhealthy lifestyleB. lives a rich and happy lifeC. doesn’t get any exerciseD. sets a good example for teenagers22 According to the writer, why are teenagers easily influenced by some TV shows?A. They are tired of school.B. Their celebrity idols appea r in many TV shows.C. They’re in their development period.D. They have nothing t o do in their spare time23 Many celebrities have to be on diet .A. to keep healthy to face competitionB. to survive under pressureC. to keep a slim sizeD. to satisfy th eir teenage fans24 What’s the title of the passage?A. Parents’ responsibilities.B. Advice on self-control.C. Bad influences of celebrities.D. Media’s bad inf luences.BThroughout history, gold has been a sign of purity, beauty and power. Calling something golden means it has great quality an d value. For example, the golden rule is possibly the world's mo st widespread moral rule. It says people should treat others the way they themselves would like to be treated. Every major relig ion has its own version of this idea.The golden ratio is found in art, architecture and nature. It describes a rectangle with a length about one and one-half times its width. Objects using this ratio in their design seem to please the eye more than others.Philosophers（哲学家） have their own golden idea. The golden mean says mode ration in all things is the best way to live one's life. It is an idea l inked to the Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. Similar thoug hts exist in Buddhism and Confucianism.（哲学思想）Ancient Greek myths told of a time long ago when people lived i n peace and happiness. Poets called it the Golden Age. A gol den age now describes a historical period of great artistic, scien tific or economic progress. It can even recall a time of success and popularity for an industry. For example, the nineteen thirtie s and forties were called the Golden Age of Radio.You may have heard the proverb silence is golden. This mea ns silence is of great value. It is sometimes better to say nothin g than to speak.You might say your child was good as gold when he behaved well at school. British writer Charles Dickens used this express ion in eighteen forty-three. He was describing the child Tiny Tim in the book "A Chris tmas Carol."In nineteen thirty-seven, American playwright Clifford Odets wrote a play called " The Golden Boy." This expression describes a young man who has many good qualities and a bright future.You might tell someone you are golden when that person doe s something very well.Gold digger is another description. But this does not say som ething nice about a person. A gold digger is someone who see ks to marry a rich person because he or she is only interested i n that person's money.Maybe you like old songs from the nineteen fifties or sixties th at are still well known and popular today. These are called gold en oldies. In the nineteen eighties and nineties, an American tel evision comedy series told about four older women living in , . The Golden Girls often dealt with social issues in a funny way. Today, most older people look forward to reaching their golden years. This is when hard-working people can retire to a life of ease and fulfillment.25 .According to the “golden ratio”, which of the following objec ts in the most pleasant to see?26 .The article mainly tells us ___A .the value of gold B. the expressions with “gold”C .the history of gold industry D. the purity, beauty and power of gold27 .Which of the following statements is made out of place?A. The beauty of tolerance and kindness comes from the Conf ucianism philosophical thought ,such as Golden Mean.B. At the beginning of the twenty first century computer reache d its Golden Age.C. She only dates guys with money. She’s a Gold Digger.D. My grandfather is 65 and is looking forward to reaching his Golden Ages28 .What we can infer from the passage is that ___A. all the expressions in the article are positive descriptionB. the “golden mean” is an idea linked to the Ancient Greek ph ilowpher AristotleC. the “golden oldies” refers to the popular soon in the 1950s o r 60s which are not well-know todayD. in their golden yearw, older people can still work hard before their retireCAfter moving to the , immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to ch oose high-calorie, fatty foods in an attempt to appear more American, a new study finds. That's one reason why immigrants approach U.S. levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to .The researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat of appearing un-American influenced respondents' food choices．After being qu estioned about their ability to speak English，75 percent of Asian-Americans identified a typical American food as their favorite. O nly 25 percent of Asian-Americans who had not been asked if they spoke English did th e same.When their American identity was called into question during a f ollow-up study, Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American d ishes, such as hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches, ove r more Asian fare. In that experiment, 55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant. Some participants were told that only Am ericans could participate in the study. Those who chose the mor e typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calori es, including 12 grams of fat and seven grams of saturated fat(饱和脂肪)."People who feel like they need to prove they belong in a culture will change their habits in an attempt to fit in," said Sapna Che ryan, an author of the study and assistant professor of psycholo gy at the of . "If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their live s, this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health," Cheryan added.Social pressures, the study concluded, are at the heart of the pr oblem. "In American society today, being American is associate d with being white. Americans who don't fit this image even if th ey were born here and speak English feel that pressure to prove that they're American," said Cheryan.29 According to the survey, _____.A. Asia-Americans care less about their health.B. 25 percent of Americans like junk food.C. choosing food is related to Asian-American’s situationD. immigrants are forced to eat junk food.30 The underlined word “fare” in Paragraph 3 most probably m eans “_____”A. food offered as a mealB. a person taking a taxiC. money spent on foodD. an arranged thing to do31 According to Sauna Cheryan, ________.A. what immigrants have done is ridiculousB. American traditional foods are healthierC. immigrants risk their health in order to fit inD. American cul ture affects immigrants deeply32 Which of the following should take the blame for the bad eat ing habit?A. The situation of employmentB. The traditional cultureC. The American governmentD. The pressures from societyDStaying silent can be just as powerful as the words you mean t o say, like when the act of hugging will be more comforting than saying, “Sorry for your loss.”Another time when silence is golden is when you are unsure of what to say. If you are confused about your own feelings concer ning a matter, it’s best to stay quiet until you are more certain b ecause more harm can be done by revealing false or exaggerat ed feelingsChoose silence instead of blurting out ‘in-the-moment’ feelings that are hurtful and not really how you feel in t he grand scheme of things. When you feel the urge to say an u nkind thing, take a few breaths and think of the possible consequences of your words.Silence can be your best friend during negotiations. Say your pi ece, then close your mouth, and let the other person come to th eir own conclusions. Your silence shows that one, you are confi dent in what you just said, and two, you respect the other perso n enough to hear what they have to say.Sometimes silence is the best and most timely solution becaus e the other person is not in a position to hear what you have to say. For example, when a friend needs for you to listen to her p roblems, but she is unable to accept your advice at that momen t.Practice being silent at work when you don’t have anything mea ningful to contribute. Unless you can elevate the conversation b y pointing out something interesting, missing, or beneficial, it’s b est to just observe and learn.Finally, silence is golden when you don’t want to engage in a fo ol’s argument. As some squabbles will never be resolved, one must agree to disagree.However, there will be times in your life where you will need t he power of your voice, the voice within you that wants and nee ds to be respected and appreciated.33 .The passage mainly tells us about ___A. when to stay silentB. why to stay silentC. how to stay silentD. whether or not to stay silent34 .What is the best to do during negotiation?A. Grasp every chance to say more than the otherB. Close your mouth and just listen to the otherC. Say what you could and draw a conclusionD .Speak out your own points and let the other speak out theirs35 What does the underlined word “elevate” most probably me an?start B. conclude C. interrupt D .cancel七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Next door, in Room A114, the girls spent five minutes in Justin Anderson’s science class writing down everything they know about DNA. W hen the assigned time was up, asked the students to share some of what they noted down. “Nobody’s DNA is alike,” one girl s aid after raising her hand. “You get it from your parents,” said a nother.This is how some lessons are taught at James Gholson Mid dle School in ’s County: boys in one classroom, girls in another. Advocates argue that separating boys and girls removes distra ctions (分心) and sex prejudice in the classroom, taking the lead from exp ensive private schools and boarding schools that have relied on single-sex learning for generations. But opponents say there is little ev idence that such separation works, that it can be discriminatory (歧视) and that it doesn’t properly prepare students for a world that is mixed.Some experts say single-sex classes can break down sex stereotypes (定式), create opportunities for students and improve test scores. Kathy Couture, an education professor at Stetson University in and a board member of the National Association for Single Sex Public Education, said students tend to be more focused on thei r curriculum and less concerned about impressing or getting att ention from the opposite sex. She said girls tend to “dumb themselves down for boys” when they are together in math and scie nce classes.But a report published last week by the Psychological Bulletin — which reviewed 184 studies to compare the outcomes of lear ning in single-sex and mixed classrooms — raised questions about whether t here are any real advantages to single-sex classrooms.Janet Hyde, one of the report’s co-authors, said there was no evidence to support the argument th at boys do better orally or that girls improve in math and scienc e when in single-sex settings. What is more important is that separating students might not adequately prepare them for college and careers. “O ne of the major purposes of school is to prepare students for th e adult world, and that world is mixed,” Janet Hyde said. “I think we do harm to students by not preparing them for the adult wor ld.”61. What purpose does the first paragraph serve?A. To show how boys and girls are taught separately.B. To show how the students behave in class.C. To show how the two lessons are different.D. To show how the class activities are organized.62. Why does teach students separately?A. Because single-sex classes are popular in .B. Because students may be more concentrated in single-sex classes.C. Because girls tend to look down upon boys in mixed classe s.D. Because it is a private and expensive school.63. According to Kathy Couture, what is the disadvantage of a mixed class?A. Students are not interested in their curriculums.B. Students may be disturbed by the opposite sex in their stu dy.C. Girls are often absent from math and science classes.D. Students have fewer chances to have tests.64. What is the point of Janet Hyde’s statement on single-sex classes?A. Single-sex classes do not improve boys’ speaking ability.B. Single-sex classes lead to worse academic performance.C. Single-sex classes harm the students in their future study and work.D. Single-sex classes do not help students’ physical development in their childhood .65. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Single-sex classes have the edge over mixed classes.B. In single-sex classes boys can learn languages better.C. Mixed classes have the obvious advantage over single-sex classesD. Effects of separated education remains to be assessed furt herCEnergy independence. It has a nice ring to it. Doesn’t it? If you t hink so, you’re not alone, because energy independence has b een the dream of American president for decades, and never m ore so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil pric e shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great rec ession.“Energy independence” and its rhetorical (修辞的) companion “energy security” are, however, slippery concept s that are rarely though through. What is it we want independen ce from, exactly?Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that o ld from elsewhere.The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle（涓涓细流）of biofuel（生物燃料）available, and more may become available, but most biofuels c ause economic waste and environmental destruction. Second, Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast ar eas of the are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environm ental protection. To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy productio n in order to cut back imports?Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficien cy, and when we buy things from places that have lower produc tion costs than we do, we benefit. And although you don’t read about this much, the is also a large exporter of oil products, sell ing about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to abo ut 90 countries.There is no question that the imports a great deal of energy an d, in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy. Wh en that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies andhigher prices, At the same time, we derive massive economic b enefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world m arket and when we engage in energy trade around the world.66. What does the author say about energy independence for ?A.It sounds very attractive. C.It will bring oil prices down.B.It ensures national security. D.It has long been everyone’s dr eam.67. What does the author think of biofuels?A.They keep ’s economy running healthily.B.They prove to be a good alternative to petroleum.C.They do not provide a sustainable energy supply.D.They cause serious damage to the environment.68. Why does rely heavily on oil imports?A.It wants to expand its storage of crude oil.B.Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.C.It wants to keep its own environment complete.D. Its own oil production falls short of demand.69. What does the author say about oil trade?A. It proves profitable to both sides.B.It improves economic efficiency.C. It makes for economic prosperity.D.It saves the cost of oil exploration.70. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A.To stress the importance of energy conservation.B.To excite Americans’ awareness of the energy crisis.C.To defend ’s dependence on oil imports.D.To explain the increase of international oil trade.Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered bla nks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Many weight loss programs seem attractive to people who are j ust trying to lose weight. However, for most people who are ove rweight, the results are so minimal (微小的) that they will give up long before achieving any realistic resu lts. It usually turns out that the programs are practically useless. You lose weight for a while, only to gain back more weight whe n you stop your weight loss program. This is because such prog rams are not natural, and that's why the "failure rate" is over 98 %. Isn't there a natural weight loss solution? Well, the only wayto lose weight naturally is the good old-fashioned way, which includes proper diet and frequent exercis e.Often, we eat far more than we'd actually need simply because we've been trained to clean our plates. By reducing portion size s, we can lose weight without changing the foods we eat. Try us ing a smaller plate, which will make portions look larger. When dining out, ask for a to-go (外卖) box before you start eating, and pack away half of your mea l for later.You can lose weight naturally by making sensible substitutions i n your cooking and meal choices. For example, try substituting l ow-fat salad dressings（调味品）; many taste just as good, if not better, as their hi-calorie cousins. When cooking, use fat-free cooking spray on your pans instead of butter or fat. You ca n easily preserve flavor while enjoying natural weight loss.A sure way of achieving natural weight loss is to increase the amount of exercise you get every day. However, this doesn't n ecessarily mean spending hours at the gym or in front of a weig ht loss video. Increase your exercise levels naturally by walking or biking short distances instead of driving, by taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or by washing your car by hand insteadof running it through the automat. There are even exercises that you can do while sitting at your desk. All of these activities can burn extra calories without taking up too much time.Actually only natural weight loss can be permanent and it also may help to improve your overall fitness, and decrease your ris k of falling diseases caused by excess（额外的）weight, such as diabetes（糖尿病) and heart disease.Title: 71Ⅰ.

Answer the questions a ccording to the information given in the passage.A recent national Retail Federation Survey found that nearly 72 percent of Americans plan on celebrating Father's Day this year according to a report in the Orlando Business Journal.And shoppers expect to spend an average of $99. 65 this ye ar—more than two dollars more than they spent on Mother's Day. It is the first time in the 3-year-old survey for Father's Day spending to be higher than that on Mother's Day.Just under 45 percent of folks plan on giving Dad a card, 22 percent to take him out for dinner and 20 percent to buy clothes . Fifteen percent will give home improvement or gardening tools or appliances. About 14 percent are choosing gift certificates a nd 12 percent are handing Dad either music or books.Women will spend more than men. The average woman plans t o spend $101. 38 for Father's Day, while men will spend an ave rage $ 70. 89. That is because many women plan on buying for both their husbands and their own fathers.Those in the 25 to 44 age range will be the biggest spenders, with an average spending of $ 130.Dads are gaining popularity in terms of spending patterns by loved ones. In 2005, consumers planned to spend just $ 52. 30 on Father's Day.But the increased spending on gifts still leaves Dad with one bill to pay—the phone bill. Father's Day is traditionally the No.1 day of the y ear for collect phone calls（对方付费电话).Jack McMaster, AT&T product management director, said in anews release that year after year the trend is the same."It's probably been happening since Father's Day was first ce lebrated informally, some 70 years ago," McMaster said. Brenda Wall, a family psychologist in , explained that children r elate differently to parents based on their gender and roles in th e family."We've always looked to Mom for love and care." Wall said "But when we look to Dad, it's usually something that relates to pow er, business, or money."81. How will 22 percent of Americans celebrate Father's Day?

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)You might never hear of Norah Jones several years ago. Before her album “Come Away With Me” arrived, no one expected the quiet girl to take eight Grammies.On February 10, Jones returned with her long-awaited new album, “Feel like Home,” still without much publicity.For the talented young girl, following up the huge presentation isn’t much pressure: “I want people to like it, but I don’t expect it to do as well as the last one.” That was kind of strange. But I like this record; it’s sweet.Born on March 30, 1979 in New York City, Jones grew up in Dallas, Texas with her mother and thanks her for her musical style. “My mom had this eight-album Billie Holiday set. I picked out one disc I liked and played it over and over again.”Jones began playing the piano at seven and discovered singing while in high school. She majored in jazz piano at the University of North Texas for two years before taking a trip to New York City. The trip started out as just a summer trip away from college, but Jones quickly knew that she would not be leaving for a while.“The music scene is so huge. I found it very exciting. I especially enjoyed hearing amazing songwriters at places like ‘the Living Room.’ I just couldn’t leave.”She started visiting local songwriters and at last started a band with local song writer Jesse Harris and bassist Lee Alexander, who wrote most songs for “Come Away With Me” and “Feels Like Home.”“We’ve always done the music we like. I feel like we are all honest, the band and me, and that’s really all that matters,”Jones says.When asked about the advantage of fame, Jones simply says, “I’ve got a nicer apartment now, but that’s about it.”She pauses a minute and amends that answer, “My old apartments was nice, too, though.I don’t want that owner to get mad.”66.The album “Come Away With Me”____________.A. made Norah Jones known to the public right after its release.B. isn’t well received.C. has won many honors for Norah Jones.D. sells well at home and abroad.67.From Paragraph 3, we know what Norah Jones most cares about is__________.A. that people like her album.B. how she can reduce so much pressure.C. whether the new album can equal the last one.D. that she can improve her skills.68.Norah Jones’ talents in singing were discovered ____________.A. by her mother when she was still young.B. at the age of sevenC. when she was studying in high school.D. after she took a trip to New York City69.The passage suggests Norah Jones ___________.A. cares more about others than herself.B. prefers to live in the old apartment rather than the new one.C. owes her success to her partners—Harris and Alexander.D. finds it pleasant to work with her band and songwriters.

On one side stand those who have begun to see clothes dryers as wasteful consumers of energy (up to 6% of total electricity) and powerful emitters of carbon dioxide (up to a ton of CO2 per household every year). As an alternative, they are turning to clotheslines as part of what Alexander Lee, anenvironmentalist, calls “what-I-can- do environmentalism.”But on the other side are people who oppose air-drying laundry outside on visual grounds. Increasingly, they have persuaded community and homeowners associations (HOAs) across the U.S. to ban outdoor clotheslines, which they say not only look unattractive but also lower surrounding property values. Those actions, in turn, have led to a right-to-dry movement that is pressing for making laws to protect the choice to use clotheslines. Only three states--Florida, Hawaii and Utah--have laws written broadly enough to protect clotheslines. Right-to-dry advocates argue that there should be more.Matt Reck is the kind of eco-conscious guy who feeds his trees with bathwater and recycles condensation drops(冷凝水) from his air conditioners to water plants. His family also uses a clothesline. But Otto Hagen, president of Reck’s HOA in Wake Forest, N.C., notified him that a neighbor had complained about his line. The Recks ignored the warning and still dry their clothes on a rope in the yard. “Many people claim to be environmentally friendly but don’t take matters into their own hands,”says Reck. HOAs Hagen has decided to hold off taking action. “I'm not going to go crazy,” he says. “But if Matt keeps his line and more neighbors complain, I'll have to address it again.”North Carolina lawmakers tried and failed earlier this year to insert language into an energy bill that would expressly prevent HOAs from regulating clotheslines. But the issue remains a touchy one with HOAs and real estate agents. “Most visual restrictions are rooted, to a degree, in the belief that homogenous (统一协调的 ) external appearance are supportive of property value,” says Sara Stubbins, executive director of the Community Association Institute’s North Carolina chapter. In other words, associations worry that housing prices will fall if prospective buyers think their would-be neighbors are too poor to afford dryers.Alexander Lee dismisses the notion that clotheslines devalue property, advocating that the idea “needs to change in light of global warming.”“We all have to do at least something to decrease our carbon footprint,” Alexander Lee says.74. What is NOT mentioned as a disadvantage of using clothes dryers?A. Electricity consumption.B. Air pollution.C. Waste of energy.D. Ugly looking.75. Which of the following is INCORRECT?A. Opposers think air-drying laundry would devalue surrounding property.B. Opposers consider the outdoor clothesline as an eyesore to the scenery.C. Right-to-dry movements led to the pass of written laws toprotect clotheslines.D. Most of states in the US have no written laws to protect clotheslines.76. In the last paragraph Alexander Lee recommendsthat_____________________.A. clotheslines should be banned in the community.B. clotheslines wouldn't lessen the property values.C. the globe would become warmer and warmer.D. we should protect the environment in the community.77. An appropriate title for the passage mightbe____________________.A. Opinions on Environmental Protection.B. Opinions on Air-drying Laundry.C. What-I-Can-Do Environmentalism.D. Restrictions on Clotheslines.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.In August, the Obama administration announced plans for a new college rating system to be implemented by the 2015 school year that would eventually determine federal funding for various institutions. “Colleges that keep their tuition down and are providing high quality education are the ones that are going to see their tax payer funding go up,” President Obama said in a speech outlining the plan at the University of New York at Buffalo. “It is time to stop funding schools that are not producing good results.”The Administration’s objective is to make college more accessible and affordable for students from different background. The president’s Secretary of Education, Duncan hopes to address concerns that American’s college graduation rates have not kept pace with the rest of the world. “A generation ago, we led the world in college graduation rates,”he said, “now we are 12.”To succeed in America, it has become increasingly important to get a college degree. In an earlier meeting, according to Governor Mary Fallin of Oklahoma, only 40% of jobs in America can be done with just a high school degree, and two thirds of those jobs in America can be done with just a high school degree, and two thirds of those jobs pay an annual salary of $25,000 or less. Duncan said the jobs that once gave high school graduates a living wage are “not coming back.”That’s why the rating system, which has yet to be developed, will focus on helping the most needy students who are less likely to graduate from college. The system will look primarily at “three performance buckets: access to needy students, percentage of students getting Pell grants(佩尔奖学金), and affordability,” Duncan said.It will measure these against outcomes like graduation rates, graduate earnings, and number of graduates earning advanced degrees. Duncan declined to offer any specific on how the Administration would consider post-graduate employment in their ratings. “Whether you choose Wall Street or the Peace Crops, do you have the skills you need to do what you want to do?” he said.The plan has been met with mixed reactions from members of the higher education community, some of whom are concerned that colleges could be negatively affected in the ratings for serving the most needy kids, the exact group that rating system is designed to help. To ease concerns that the schools could be affected for the difficult task of educating a larger share of disadvantaged students, Duncan said they would only compare colleges with similar missions, avoiding “apples to oranges” comparisons, and would weigh improvement in performance at various schools as carefully as absolute outcomes. “We’re more interested in where you are going than where you have been,” he said.(Note: answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS)78.It will be very likely that before the 2015 school year, onlycolleges _______________ will get more funds from the federal government.79.Why does the new college rating system intend to focus on helpingthe most needy students?80.What elements will be included in the new rating system?81.Some colleges worry about the negative effects of the rating systembecause _____________.第II卷（共47分）I.

I realized long ago that I should spend more time with my family, but I still love traveling. I always look forward to exciting experiences, but I m sorry for leaving my family.(Text 10)Mark Twain traveled quite a lot often because environments, usually economic conditions forced him to. He was born in Florida in 1835 and moved to Hannibal with his family when he was about 4 years old. Most people think he was born in Hannibal but that wasn t true. After his father died when he was about 12, Mark Twain worked in Hannibal for a while and then left, so he could earn more money. He worked for a while as a typesetter on various newspapers and then got a job as a river pilot on the Mississippi. He loved this job and many of his books showed it. The river job didn t last long because of the outbreak of the Civil War. Mark Twain was in the army for just 2 weeks and then he and his whole company went to the West to get away from the war. In Nevada and California, Mark Twain succeeded as a writer. Then he traveled around the country, giving lectures and earning enough money to go to Europe. He didn t travel much in the last 10 years of his life and he didn t publish much either. Somehow his travel, even when forced, inspired his writings. Like many other popular writers, Mark Twain gained much of the materials for his writing from his own personal experiences.试题答案1~5BCBAC6~10ACBAA11~15BACCB16~20ABCCB21~24CDAB25~27DCB28~31ACCD32~35CDBC36~40GCDFE41~45ADCBA46~50DBCAC51~55BDBDA56~60CBACD61.what62.without63.entertainment64.but65.ways66.had been67.burned / burnt68.Obviously69.to stop70.a短文改错书面表达One possible version:Dear Tom,I m so sorry to hear about the problems you are faced with at present, just as I used to be when I was in England.

ABefore I spoke to his school, Matt was waiting for me. He sat in his wheelchair unable to move. As soon as he saw me he started smiling. He could not talk but I pretended the sharks were eating his cereal and his laugh melted the hearts of everyone walking by.One of the teachers told me that he was actually very smart, he just could not control his nuscles due to a childhood disease. He was happy and very popular at his school-his parents' love and encouragement made me all the difference .On the contrary ,at a book signing session,， met a girl by the name of Anne. She walked up with her mom with a bright smile. Anne asked about my book with a slur in her speech indicating a slight head injury. I told her about it and she smiled the whole time and asked me to sign one for her. I did.Five minute later, I heard a voice from Anne's father, "You know you will not under- stand the book. You aren't smart enough .”He said it so loudly that people were staring in their direction. She was absolutely crushed and her bright smile was now replaced with a look of total despair(绝望).He brought the book back to me and asked me to take it back. I asked him if he would allow me to purchase the book for Anne. He said no with a heartless response . I thought back to Matt.
