AAs a young woman who was always interested in style, I got lucky in interning(实习) with a fashion company in Tokyo, last summer.I worked as an assistant in the Business Planning Department, helping with marketing for the 2007 Spring/Summer collections. Fashion is a beautiful industry. But against my expectation, it also has lots of ordinary work. Every day, I would do sample testing, prepare the brochure for future launches, and meet with customers and visitors.Japanese companies had a traditional work style. We had a meeting every morning at 9 o'clock. Every Monday, all employees, including those in other parts of Japan, would take part in a conference call. Every afternoon, after finishing work, each of us would say goodbye to every manager in the company, which took more than five minutes.All of this kept me fresh. And the strict work atmosphere caused me to work harder. At the end of last August, the company's 2007 Spring/Summer collection started with a big show and was very successful. Lots of customers showed an interest in our products, including a businessman from Hong Kong.He went to our company for more details on the products, but he couldn't speak Japanese and none of the staff spoke good English.Just when the situation seemed helpless, I offered to give it a try. I was a Japanese major, but I had also practiced my English often. My translation job was praised by both the customer and my boss. And the guest made a big purchase.The two-month internship taught me a lot about business. And the pay - 150,000 yen, or over 10,000 yuan a month- was enough to cover my daily living costs in Tokyo.Moreover, the experience made me stand out. Every interviewer I've spoken with showed an interest and discussed my internship with me.And thanks to this experience, I've found a good job in one of the Big Four accounting firms and will start working this summer.21. Before she interned(实习) in the fashion company in Tokyo, the writer ______A. did not like the fashion.B. imagined it being beautiful and simply.C. didn’t expect a fashion industry had lots of work as ordinary as normal.D. was nervous about it.22. What would each of the employees in Japanese Companies do every afternoon?A. They do sample testing.B. They meet with customers and visitors.C. They prepare the brochure for future launches.D.

And the pay the writer got was enough for her future life.BA Grassroots RemedyMost of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. To this end, we walk the dog, play golf, go fishing, sit in the garden, drink outside rather than inside the pub, have a picnic, live in the suburbs, go to the seaside, buy a weekend place in the country. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. And when joggers (慢跑者) jog, they don’t run the streets. Every one of them instinctively heads to the park or the river. It is my profound belief that not only do we all need nature, but we all seek nature, whether we know we are doing so or not.But despite this, our children are growing up nature-deprived (丧失). I spent my boyhood climbing trees on Streatham Common, South London. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and odd new perceptions about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (多动症). Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.A study in Sweden indicated that kindergarten children who could play in a natural environment had less illness and greater physical ability than children used only to a normal playground. A US study suggested that when a school gave children access to a natural environment, academic levels were raised across the entire school.Another study found that children play differently in a natural environment. In playgrounds, children create a hierarchy (等级) based on physical abilities, with the tough ones taking the lead. But when a grassy area was planted with bushes, the children got much more into fantasy play, and the social hierarchy was now based on imagination and creativity.Most bullying (恃强凌弱) is found in schools where there is a tarmac (柏油碎石) playground; the least bullying is in a natural area that the children are encouraged to explore. This reminds me unpleasantly of Sunnyhill School in Streatham, with its harsh tarmac, where I used to hang about in corners fantasising about wildlife.But children are frequently discouraged from involvement with natural spaces, for health and safety reasons, for fear that they might get dirty or that they might cause damage. So, instead, the damage is done to the children themselves: not to their bodies but to their souls.One of the great problems of modern childhood is ADHD, now increasingly and expensively treated with drugs. Yet one study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing emphasis for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality.In wider and more difficult areas of life, there is evidence to indicate that natural surroundings improve all kinds of things. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.Dr William Bird, researcher from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, states in his study, “A natural environment can reduce violent behaviour because its restorative process helps reduce anger and imp ulsive behaviour.” Wild places need encouraging for this reason, no matter how small their contribution.We tend to look on nature conservation as some kind of favour that human beings are granting to the natural world. The error here is far too deep: not only do humans need nature for themselves, but the very idea thathumanity and the natural world are separable things is profoundly damaging.Human beings are a species of mammals (哺乳动物). For seven million years they lived on the planet as part of nature. Our ancestral selves miss the natural world and long for contact with non-human life. Anyone who has patted a dog, stroked a cat, sat under a tree with a pint of beer, given or received a bunch of flowers or chosen to walk through the park on a nice day, understands that.We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being, our health, our happiness. Without the wild world we are not more but less civilised. Without other living things around us we are less than human.Five ways to find harmony with the natural worldWalk: Break the rhythm of permanently being under a roof. Get off a stop earlier, make a circuit of the park at lunchtime, walk the child to and from school, get a dog, feel yourself moving in moving air, look, listen, absorb.Sit: Take a moment, every now and then, to be still in an open space. In the garden, anywhere that’s not in the office, anywhere out of the house, away from the routine. Sit under a tree, look at water, feel refreshed, ever so slightly renewed.Drink: The best way to enjoy the natural world is by yourself; the second best way is in company. Take a drink outside with a good person, a good gathering: talk with the sun and the wind with birdsong for background.Learn: Expand your boundaries. Learn five species of bird, five butterflies, five trees, five bird songs. That way, you see and hear more: and your mind responds gratefully to the greater amount of wildness in your life.Travel: The places you always wanted to visit: by the seaside, in the country, in the hills. Take a weekend break, a day-trip, get out there and do it: for the scenery, for the way through the woods, for the birds, for the bees. Go somewhere special and bring specialness home. It lasts forever, after all.25. What does the author say people prefer for their children nowadays?A. Personal freedom.B. Things that are natural.C. Urban surroundings.D. Things that are purchased.26. Children who have chances to explore natural areas ________.A. tend to develop a strong love for scienceB. are more likely to fantasise about wildlifeC. tend to be physically tougher in adulthoodD. are less likely to be involved in bullying27. What does the author suggest we do to help children with ADHD?A. Find more effective drugs for them.B. Provide more green spaces for them.C. Place them under more personal care.D. Engage them in more meaningful activities.28. Dr William Bird suggests in his study that ________.A. humanity and nature are complementary to each otherB. wild places may induce impulsive behaviour in peopleC. access to nature contributes to the reduction of violenceD. it takes a long time to restore nature once damagedCCaught in the WebA few months ago, it wasn't unusual for 47-year-old Carla Toebe to spend 15 hours per day online. She'd wake up early, turn on her laptop and chat on Internet dating sites and instant-messaging programs –leaving her bed for only brief intervals. Her household bills piled up, along with the dishes and dirty laundry, but it took near-constant complaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem."I was starting to feel like my whole world was falling apart – kind of slipping into a depression," said Carla. "I knew that if I didn't get off the dating sites, I'd just keep going," detaching (使脱离) herself further from the outside world.Toebe's conclusion: She felt like she was "addicted" to the Internet. She's not alone.Concern about excessive Internet use isn't new. As far back as 1995, articles in medical journals and the establishment of a Pennsylvania treatment center for overusers generated interest in the subject. There's still no consensus on how much time online constitutes too much or whether addiction is possible.But as reliance on the Web grows, there are signs that the question is getting more serious attention: Last month, a study published in CNS Spectrums claimed to be the first large-scale look at excessive Internet use. The American Psychiatric Association may consider listing Internet addiction in the next edition of its diagnostic manual. And scores of online discussion boards have popped up on which people discuss negative experiences tied to too much time on the Web."There's no question that there're people who're seriously in trouble because they're overdoing their Internet involvement," said psychiatrist (精神科医生) Ivan Goldberg. Goldberg calls the problem a disorder rather than a true addiction.Jonathan Bishop, a researcher in Wales specializing in online communities, is more skeptical. "The Internet is an environment," he said. "You can't be addicted to the environment." Bishop describes the problem as simply a matter of priorities, which can be solved by encouraging people to prioritize other life goals and plans in place of time spent online.The new CNS Spectrums study was based on results of a nationwide telephone survey of more than 2,500 adults. Like the 2005 survey, this one was conducted by Stanford University researchers.About 6% of respondents reported that "their relationships suffered because of excessive Internet use." About 9% attempted to conceal "nonessential Internet use," and nearly 4% reported feeling "preoccupied by the Internet when offline."About 8% said they used the Internet as a way to escape problems, and almost 14% reported they "found it hard to stay away from the Internet for several days at a time.""The Internet problem is still in its infancy," said Elias Aboujaoude, a Stanford professor. No single online activity is to blame for excessive use, he said. "They're online in chat rooms, checking e-mail, or writing blogs. [The problem is] not limited to porn (色情) or gambling" websites.Excessive Internet use should be defined not by the number of hours spent online but "in terms of losses," said Maressa Orzack, a Harvard University professor. "If it's a loss [where] you're not getting to work, and family relationships are breaking down as a result, then it's too much."Since the early 1990s, several clinics have been established in the U. S. to treat heavy Internet users. They include the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery and the Center for Internet Behavior.The website for Orzack's center lists the following among the psychological symptoms of computer addiction:● Having a sense of well-being (幸福) or excitement while at the computer.● Longing for more and more time at the computer.● Neglect of family and friends.● Feeling empty, depressed or irritable when not at the computer.● Lying to employers and family about activities.● Inability to st op the activity.● Problems with school or job.Physical symptoms listed include dry eyes, backaches, skipping meals, poor personal hygiene (卫生) and sleep disturbances.People who struggle with excessive Internet use maybe depressed or have other mood disorders, Orzack said. When she discusses Internet habits with her patients, they often report that being online offers a "sense of belonging, and escape, excitement [and] fun," she said. "Some people say relief…because they findthemselves so relaxed."Some parts of the Internet seem to draw people in more than others. Internet gamers spend countless hours competing in games against people from all over the world. One such game, called World of Warcraft, is cited on many sites by posters complaining of a "gaming addiction."Andrew Heidrich, an education network administrator from Sacramento, plays World of Warcraft for about two to four hours every other night, but that's nothing compared with the 40 to 60 hours a week he spent playing online games when he was in college. He cut back only after a full-scale family intervention (干预), in which relatives told him he'd gained weight."There's this whole culture of competition that sucks people in" with online gaming, said Heidrich, now a father of two. "People do it at the expense of everything that was a constant in their lives." Heidrich now visits websites that discuss gaming addiction regularly "to remind myself to keep my love for online games in check."Toebe also regularly visits a site where posters discuss Internet overuse. In August, when she first realized she had a problem, she posted a message on a Yahoo Internet addiction group with the subject line: "I have an Internet Addiction.""I'm self-employed and need the Internet for my work, but I'm failing to accomplish my work,to take care of my home, to give attention to my children," she wrote in a message sent to the group."I have no money or insurance to get professional help; I can't even pay my mortgage (抵押贷款) and face losing everything."Since then, Toebe said, she has kept her promise to herself to cut back on her Internet use. "I have a boyfriend now, and I'm not interested in online dating," she said by phone last week. "It's a lot better now."29. What eventually made Carla Toebe realize she was spending too much time on the Internet?A. Her daughter's repeated complaints.B. Fatigue resulting from lack of sleep.C. The poorly managed state of her house.D. The high financial costs adding up.30. What does the author say about excessive Internet use?A. People should be warned of its harmful consequences.B. It has become virtually inevitable.C. It has been somewhat exaggerated.D. People haven't yet reached agreement on its definition.31. Jonathan Bishop believes that the Internet overuse problem can be solved if people ______.A. try to improve the Internet environmentB. become aware of its serious consequencesC. can realize what is important in lifeD. can reach a consensus on its definitionDColleges taking another look at value of merit-based aidGood grades and high tests scores still matter—a lot—to many colleges as they award financial aid.But with low-income students projected to make up an ever-larger share of the college-bound population in coming years, some schools are re-examining whether that aid, typically known as “merit aid”, is the most effective use of precious institutional dollars.George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for example, said last week that it would cut the value of its average merit scholarships by about one-third and reduce the number of recipients(接受者), pouring the savings, about $2.5 million, into need-based aid. Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa., made a similar decision three years ago.Now, Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., says it will phase out merit scholarships altogether. No current merit-aid recipients will lose their scholarships, but need-based aid alone will be awarded beginning with students entering in fall 2008.Not all colleges offer merit aid; generally, the more selective a school, the less likely it is to do so. Harvard and Princeton, for example, offer generous need-based packages, but many families who don’t meet need eligibility(资格)have been willing to pay whatever they must for a big-name school.For small regional colleges that struggle just to fill seats, merit aid can be an important revenue-builder because many recipients still pay enough tuition dollars over and above the scholarship amount to keep the institution running.But for rankings-conscious schools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit top students and to improve their academic profits. “They’re trying to buy students,” says Skidmore College economist Sandy Baum.Studies show merit aid also tends to benefit disproportionately students who could afford to enroll without it.“As we look to the future, we see a more pressing need to invest in need-based aid,” says Monica Inzer, dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton, which has offered merit scholarships for 10 years. During that time, it rose in US News & World Report’s ranking of the best liberal arts colleges, from 25 to 17.Merit aid, which benefited about 75 students a year, or about 4% of its student body, at a cost of about $ 1 million a year, “served us well,” Inzer says, but “to be discounting the price for families that don’t need financial aid doesn’t feel right any more.”Need-based aid remains by far the largest share of all student aid, which includes state, federal and institutional grants. But merit aid, offered primarily by schools and states, is growing faster, both overall and at the institutional level.Between 1995-96 and 2003-04, institutional merit aid alone increased 212%, compared with 47% for need-based grants. At least 15 states also offer merit aid, typically in a bid to enroll top students in the state’s public institutions.But in recent years, a growing chorus(异口同声)of critics has begun pressuring schools to drop the practice. Recent decisions by Hamilton and others may be “a sign that people are starting to realize that there’s this destructive competition going on,” says Baum, co-author of a recent College Report that raises concerns about the role of institutional aid not based on need.David Laird, president of the Minnesota Private College Council, says many of his schools would like to reduce their merit aid but fear that in doing so, they would lose top students to their competitors.“No one can take one-sided action,” says Laird, who is exploring whether to seek an exemption(豁免)from federal anti-trust laws so member colleges can discuss how they could jointly reduce merit aid, “This is a merry-go-round that’s going very fast, and none of the instituti ons believe they can sustain the risks of trying to break away by themselves.”A complicating factor is that merit aid has become so popular with middle-income families, who don’t qualify for need-based aid, that many have come to depend on it. And, as tuitions continue to increase, the line between merit and need blurs.That’s one reason Allegheny College doesn’t plan to drop merit aid entirely.“We still believe in rewarding superior achievements and know that these top students truly value the scho larship,” says Scott Friedhoff, Allegheny’s vice president for enrollment.Emory University in Atlanta, which boasts a $4.7 billion endowment(捐赠), meanwhile, is taking another approach. This year, it announced it would eliminate loans for needy students and cap them for middle-income families. At the same time, it would expand its 28-year-old merit program.“Yeah, we’re playing the merit game,” acknowledges Tom Lancaster, associate dean for undergraduate education. But it has its strong point, too, he s ays. “The fact of the matter is, it’s not just about the lowest-income people. It’s the average American middle-class family who’s being priced out of the market.”*A few words about merit-based aid:Merit-based aid is aid offered to students who achieve excellence in a given area, and is generally knownas academic, athletic and artistic merit scholarships.Academic merit scholarships are based on students’ grades, GPA and overall academic performance during high school. They are typically meant for students going straight to college right after high school. However, there are scholarships for current college students with exceptional grades as well. These merit scholarships usually help students pay tuition bills, and they can be renewed each year as long as the recipients continue to qualify. In some cases, students may need to be recommended by their school or a teacher as part of the qualification process.Athletic merit scholarships are meant for students that excel(突出)in sports of any kind, from football to track and field events. Recommendation for these scholarships is required, since exceptional athletic performance has to be recognized by a coach or a referee(裁判). Applicants need to send in a tape containing their best performance.Artistic merit scholarships require that applicants excel in a given artistic area. This generally includes any creative field such as art, design, fashion, music, dance or writing. Applying for artistic merit scholarships usually requires that students submit a portfolio(选辑)of some sort, whether that includesa collection of artwork, a recording of a musical performance or a video of them dancing.32. With more and more low-income students pursuing higher education, a number of colleges are ________.A. offering students more merit-based aidB. revising their financial aid policiesC. increasing the amount of financial aidD. changing their admission processes33. The chief purpose of rankings-conscious colleges in offering merit aid is to ______.A. improve teaching qualityB. boost their enrollmentsC. attract good studentsD. increase their revenues34. In recent years, merit-based aid has increased much faster than need-based aid due to ______.A. more government funding to collegesB. fierce competition among institutionsC. the increasing number of top studentsD. schools’ improved financial situations35. What is the attitude of many private colleges toward merit aid, according to David Laird?A. They would like to see it reduced.B. They regard it as a necessary evil.C. They think it does more harm than good.D. They consider it unfair to middle-class families.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。

It was summer vacation. Our 12-year-old son, Jack, felt free. I let him 1this I’m-on-vacationfeeling for several days. I was happy for him.But before long, I couldn’t help noticing that weeds were growing in the garden, dishes 2up. With a little baby and horses to care for, it is really 3for me to manage all the things.So one morning, I told Jack that he had to work two hours a day to help me, “I’ll 4you, but you have to do it.” He got quite 5. “I don’t think I should have to work if I don’t feel like it! I’m only a kid!”6, I insisted two hours a day wasn’t too much to ask of a 12-year-old.After that, each morning I gave him 7about what needed to be done around the yard.The work became part of his daily routine, but he didn’t spare any 8on it.Halfway through the 9, the $1 and $5 bills began to pile up in Jack’s drawer. About this time he came to me for 10work. He figured out if he worked extra, he might be able to buy a 11___by the end of the summer. Surprised and happy, I thought of another task for him.12August heat, he worked happily with his goal in his mind.One day I went out to inspect his 13and praised him for the nice job he was doing-- the messy old farmhouse turned into a beautiful view at the 14of Jack.“Yeah, this place is starting to look good.” He said 15, as sweat dripped from his dirty face. A few minutes later, he said to him self, “I wonder what it 16like to win the lottery (彩票).”It’s not 17him to be dreaming of winning the lottery. For a minute I worried that his 18had changed. But my worry was gone.“I bet it doesn’t feel that good,” he answered himself, “because you wouldn’t have 19it.”Hearing this, I came to realize something unexpected 20happen——Jack’s work had given him something much more precious than that new drum, something more valuable thana jackpot (大奖).1.A. express B. contain C. enjoyD. overcome2.A. piling B. staying C. bringing D.getting3.A. urgent B. impossible C. convenient D.suitable4.A. praise B. defend C. payD. award5.A. satisfied B. delighted C. bored D.annoyed6.A.

Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant.You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks.The robot doesn’t just deliver gen eral answers to questions; it responds based on what itlearns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to a ssist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but wi th us,” said Breazeal.21.How are social robots different from household robots?A. They can control their emotions.B. They are more like humans.C. They do the normal housework .D. They respond to users more slowly.22.What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?A. Communicate with you and perform operations.B. Answer your questions and make requests.C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.23.What can Oshbot work as?A. A language teacher.B. A tour guide.C. A shop assistant .D. A private nurse.24.We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ______.A. train employeesB. be our workmatesC. improve technologiesD. take the place of workers25.What does the passage mainly present?A. A new design idea of household robots.B. Marketing strategies for social robots.C. Information on household robots.D. An introduction to social robots.BWhen her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing oneperson. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurantwhen they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business."Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.26.Helene tied several chopsticks together to show ______.A. the strength of family unityB. the difficulty of growing upC. the advantage of chopsticksD. the best way of giving a lesson27.We can I earn from Paragraph 2 that the An family ______.A. started a business in 1975B. left Vietnam without much moneyC. bought a restaurant in San FranciscoD. opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles28.What can we infer about the An daughters?A. They did not finish their college education.B. They could not bear to work in the family business.C. They were influenced by what Helene taught them.D. They were troubled by disagreement among family members.29.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How to Run a CorporationB. Strength Comes from PeaceC. How to Achieve a Big DreamD. Family Unity Builds SuccessCParties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did. This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize, but the smartphone.At parties, more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks. According to a recent International Data Corporation study, well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too many people in society are using smartphones while driving and as a result, they get into car crashes. 34 percent of teenagers admit to texting while driving, and they confirm that text messaging is their number one drivin g interruption. People’s attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.Just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When with their friends, some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend, which sends a message to that friend: the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition, relying on our smartphones to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world. Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their massages, smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people. The quality of this technology is hindering societal achievements and weakening the value of communication.

Most people are already swamped(淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅) , a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of hamburgers andeggs when you're hungry.Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would gotoward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them.And life is a matter of thrills.Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be bettersupported against the bad days, if you could, and did, played a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.21．The author intends to tell us that____________.A. true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair meansB. big houses are people's most valued possessionsC. big houses can in a sense bring richness of lifeD. true happiness comes from spiritual riches22．The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that__________.A. however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfiedB. however materially rich, they remain spiritually poorC. though their house is big, they prefer a simple lifeD. though their house is big, it seems to be a cage23．It can be learned from the passage that __________.A. more money brings more happinessB. art is needed to make your house beautifulC. literature can enrich your spiritual lifeD. sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness24．What would be the best title for the passage?A. House of LifeB. Secret of WealthC. Rest and RefreshmentD. Interest and EnthusiasmBIt was Mother’s Day morning last year and I was doing shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not so much fun falling over in front of everyone.”At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “ My son was very upset for her wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”After that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.25．What dose the author intend to tell us?A. One can never be too careful.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. Love begins with a little smile.D. A small act of kindness brings a great joy.26．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.B. Tenyson’s idea of buying a flower gained his mcther’s support.C. Tenyson’s care for the elderly woman puzzled the flower seller.D. The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson’s gesture.27．The underlined word “intimidated” in the fourth paragraph probably means“___________”.A. astonishedB. struckC. frightenedD. excited28．What would be the best title for the passage?A. Flower PowerB. Mother’s DayC. An Accidental InjuryD.

Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way --- by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years’ experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes — about 60,000 in total — fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn't. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing(海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of seriousbeachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.33．The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______________.A. fitting roomsB. trading fairsC. business talksD. group meetings34．Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out _____________.A. what caused the shipping accidentB. when and where the shoes went missingC. whether it was all right to use their shoesD. how much they lost in the shipping accident35．How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?A. By collecting information from beachcombers.B. By studying the shoes found by beachcomber.C. By searching the web for ocean currents models.D. By researching ocean currents data in the library.36．Ebbesmeyer is most famous for ___________________.A. traveling widely the coastal cities of the worldB. making records for any lost objects on the seaC. running a global currents research associationD. phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea37．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A. To call people's attention to ocean pollution.B. To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean.C. To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents.D. To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach.三、七选五（2015新课标1卷高考真题）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful bird, which was very curious about Hell. When she was little, her mother always told he r that if she didn’t master the1skills, she 2go to Hell. She was so curious about Hell that she 3asked others what Hell looked like, but no one was sure, because 4of them had ever been there. Some said Hell was a place full of water, and others told her that Hell was full of burning 5. However, the bird knew they were lying. She wanted to 6what Hell was.When other birds 7flying skills, she always hid herself and 8them. She thought in this way she could go to Hell and see 9Hell looked like.

Thechange in how coffee is grown from shade-grown production to full-sun productionendangers the very existence of, certain animals and birds, and even disturbs the world’s ecological balance.On a local level, the damage of the forest required by full-sun fields affects the area’s birds and animals. The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and otherspecial(物种) that depend on the trees’ flowers and fruits. Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result, many special are quickly dying out.On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also threatens(威胁)human life. Medical research often makes use of the forests' plant andanimal life, and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases. In addition, new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally, and eventually the world's groundwater.Both locally and globally, the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations (种植园)could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology. The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world's climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming. Moreover, the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic(酸性的) soil conditions.It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects many aspects of life, from the local environment to the global ecology. But consumers do have a choice. They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost. The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.21.What can we learn about full-sun coffee production from Paragraph 4?A. It limits the spread of new growing techniques.B. It leads to air pollution and global warming.C. It slows down the loss of shade trees.D. It improves local soil conditions.22.The purpose of the text is to .A. entertainB. advertiseC. instructD. persuade23.Where does this text probably come from ?A. An agricultural magazine.B. A medical journal.C. An engineering textbook.D. A tourist guide.24.Which of the following shows the structure of the whole textA B C D（P:Paragraph)BScience has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character,and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines（学科）. Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introduciing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention.So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole,Brooks’s story is acceptalbe if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie eslewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s at tempt to translate his tale into science.25.The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to__________.A. illustrate where science can be appliedB. demonstrate the value of Brooks’s new bookC. remind the reader of the importance of scienceD. explain why many writers use science in their works26.According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?A. Its strong basis.B. Its convincing points.C. Its clear writing.D. Its memorable characters.27.What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?A. Contradictory.B. Supportive.C . Cautious.D. Critical.28.What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?A. Problems with the book.B. Brooks’s life experience.C. Death of the characters.D. Brooks’s translation skills.CSIGN YOUR CHILD UP FOR "FL Y TO THE MOON CLUB"AND ENJOY A FREE * FLIGHT TO ANY DESTINATION IN ASIA!With a registration fee of just $50 per child,children under the age of 12can join Eagle Airways'FL Y TO THE MOON CLUB as members.They can then enjoy the same benefitsonboard Eagle Airways' newest Boeing-797to any destination in the world!BENEFITS YOU CAN'T MISS!• A free * flight to any destination in Asia•30% off any course at Tanya Language School•20% off any purchase made at Ruby Bookstore• A free notebook with every purchase above $50 at Starlight Stationery • A free bowl of dessert for a family of four at Don's Dinersdinner ordered• A birthday gift on your child's birthday• A free album containing pictures taken during the journeyAll bookings made before 12 September will receive free travel insurance for the entire family! ** Insurance is issued by Live Life Insurance Group. 10% OFF ALL BOOKINGSfor departures from 5 to 11 September* Child must be accompanied by twopaying adults.** Terms and conditions apply.29.One of the benefits mentioned in, the advertisement is .A.a free flight to any destination in the worldB.30% off any book purchased at Ruby BookstoreC.a free bowl of dessert at any restaurant at the airportD.a discount on any course at Tanya Language School30.Which of the following bookings may receive the most benefits?31.Which of the following is TRUE according to the advertisement?A.You need to pay$50 to sign up a child for the club.B.Club members enjoy free travel insurance for any flight.C.The advertisement is intended for students of all ages.D.Any child must be accompanied by at least one paying adult.DThe Boy Made It!One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all thesurvival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put.The first thing he did was to find shelter form the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could- he huddled(蜷缩) in his cave and slept.The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show. Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips thatsaved his life, In each episode(一期节目)of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.32.What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?A.

They can reach speeds as high as 60 miles per hour．The cubs reach their top speed when they are about a year old．The National Zoo's first litt8r of cheetah cubs was born in November 2004．When almost a year old, those cubs weighed more than 30 pounds．Zazi's cubs stay with her for at least a year．When they are fully grown, the cats may be sent to other zoos．Cheetahs are endangered animals．About 100 years ago, the wild cats roamed an area from North Africa to India．Today, cheetahs inhabit only the countries south of the Sahara desert．Just 12,000 to 15,000 now live in the wild．21.The writer's attitude toward cheetahs seems to be ．A．doubtful and afraid B．caring and admiringC．uncaring ．D．complaining22.Animal keeper Lauren Afdahl's comments are ．A．disappointed B．softC．descriptive and matter of act D．angry and unfriedly23.The main idea of this passage is ．A．Cheetahs are interesting animalsB．Wben the cubs were 10 weeks old, they weighed 9 poundsC．Female cheetahs can give birth only once a yearD．Cheetahs like to run24.Based on the article', we can guess that the author is probably ．A．afraid of cheetahs ．B．working at a zooC．a trained animal doctor D．in favor of protecting cheetahsB“You get excited about everything because you were born in the summer!” Does that sound like something your grandparents used to say to you?Of course, you’re a learned person who doesn’t believe in such things. But scientists now say that it might not all be superstition (迷信).Researchers from Semmelweis University in Hungary recently asked 366 university students to fill out a questionnaire. The answers given included things like “My mood often changes for no reason”, “I love to deal with new projects, even if they’re risky ”, and “I complain a lot”. They then compared students’ answers to their birthdays. They found that the season of your birth may have some effect on who you are.Researchers found that people born in the summer were more likely to quickly change between sad and happy emotions. People born in the winter, however, were less likely to become angry. Spring birthdays were more likely to make people overly positive, while people born in autumn were less likely to be depressive (忧郁的).So, why could the seasons cause such differences?“Biochemical studie s have shown that the season in which you are born affects some monoamine neurotransmitters (单胺类神经递质),” lead researcher Xenia Gonda said in a written statement. “This led us to believe that birth season may have a longer-lasting effect.”Monoamine neurotransmitters are given off from neurones (神经元细胞). They affect our emotions. So the researchers believe they might have an effect on the development of our personalities.Different seasons also have different food and nutrients (养分) to offer. In addition, mothers usually get more physical exercise and enjoy more sunlight in warm seasons than in cold seasons. All these are “environmental factors ” which may influence a person’s personality, said Gonda.But the research only included a survey and didn’t follow pa rticipants over time. More research is needed before a final answer can be given on the connection between season and personality.Don’t worry, though. Even if the connection is proven, it won’t mean that your birth month completely decides who you are. Being happy or sad is up to you.25.The study from Semmelweis University in Hungary intended to prove that _________________.A. a person’s birth season might affect their monoamine neurotransmittersB. monoamine neurotransmitters might be connected to our emotionsC. people’s personalities might depend on environmental factorsD. the season of a person’s birthday may affect their personality26.According to the research, people with emotional instability are more likely to be born in .A. springB. summerC. autumnD. winter27.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The season of your birth decides who you are.B. Physical exercise can change your personality.C. You can change your personality regardless of your birth season.D. A lot of research has been done on how someone’s birth season affects their personality.CJoin the F amily Read-Aloud Celebration, held by the Gonda Family Library and the Family School Allian ce at UCLA Lab School, from February 21 to March 14,2014.

She had written letters to the local paper, even to a national to protest about our projected by-pass to her village, and, looking at a map, the route was nowhere near where she lived and it wasn’t as if the area was attractive. I was more than puzzled, I was intrigued. I wanted to know what it was that motivated her. So it was that I found myself knocking on a cottage door, being received by Mary Smith and then being taken for a walk to the woods.“I’ve always loved this place”, she said, “it has a lot of memories for me, and for others. We all used it. They called it ‘Lovers lane’. It’s not much of a lane, and it doesn’t go anywhere important, but that’s why we all came here. To be away from people, to be by ourselves.” She added.It was indeed pleasant that day and the songs of many birds could be heard. Squirrels gazed from the branches, quite bold in their movements, obviously few people passed this way and they had nothing to fear. I could imagine the noise of vehicles passing through these peaceful woods when the by-pass was built, so I felt that she probably had something there but as I hold strong opinions about the needs of the community over-riding the opinions of private individuals, I said nothing. The village was quite a distant and dangerous place because of the traffic especially for old people and children, their safety was more important to me than an old woman’s whims (怪念头).“Take this tree”, she said pausing after a short while. “To you it is just that, a tree. Not unlike many others here”. She gently touched the bark. “Look here, under this branch, what can you see?”“It looks as if someone has done a bit of carving with a knife” I said after a cursory (草率的) inspection.“Yes, that’s what it is!” she said softly. “There are letters and a lover’s heart”.I looked again, this time more carefully. The heart was still there and there was an arrow through it. The let ters on one side were indistinct, but on the other an ‘R’ was clearly visible with what looked like an ‘I’ after it. “Some budding romance?” I asked, “Did you know who they were?”“Oh yes, I knew them”, said Mary Smith, “it says RH loves MS”.After a pause, she went on … “He had a penknife and I helped him to carve my initials.We were very much in love, but he was going away, and could not tell me what he was involved in the army. I had guessed of course. It was the last evening we ever spent together, because he went away the next day, back to his Unit.”Mary Smith was quiet for a while, then she sobbed, “His mother showed me the telegram.‘Sergeant R Holmes ... Killed in action in the invasion of France.’”I realized that I could be getting out of my depth, and longed to be in my office, awayfrom here and this old lady, snug, and with a cup of tea in my hand.There was a further pause. Mary Smith gently touched the wounded tree, just as she would have caressed him. “And now they want to take our tree away from me.” Another quiet sob, then she turned to me. “I was young and pretty then, I could have had anybody, I wasn’t always the old woman you see here now. I could have had everything I wanted in life,a lovely man, health and a future to l ook forwards to”.She paused again and looked around. The breeze gently moved through the leaves with a sighing sound. “There were others, of course, but not a patch on my Robin!” she said strongly.“And now I have nothing except the memories this tree holds. If only I could get my hands on that awful man who writes in the paper about the value of the road they are going to build where we are standing now, I would tell him. Has he never loved, has he never lived, does he not know anything about memories? We were not the only ones, you know, I still meet some who came here as Robin and I did. Yes, I would tell him!”I turned away, sick at heart.32.Why was the by-pass to Mary Smith’s village to be built through these woods?A. The community wanted to explore the beauty of the woods as a way of tourism.B. Many people passed these woods causing heavy traffic jam.C. The traffic was inconvenient making the village a dangerous place to live in.D. The village was quite far away and its economy needed improving.33.The underlined sentence “I felt that she probably had something there” means ________.A. I thought there might be something hidden in the woods by Mary SmithB. I guessed there might be a story related with Mary SmithC. I thought there might be some reason for Mary Smith’s protestD. I guessed there might be a secret purpose of Mary Smith.34.The main purpose of this passage is to ________.A. draw attention to the damage that wars causeB. persuade people to give up private interestC. arouse the awareness of being environmentally friendlyD. introduce a touching but sad love story三、七选五根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余的选项.—Mary，we are going to have a party on New Year’s Eve.I’m sure we’ll have a good time35.—I’d like to.36.—In our classroom.

A report.BFreedom and ResponsibilityFreedom’s challenge in the Digital Age is a serious topic. We are facing today a strange new world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it.Some 2,500 years ago Greece discovered freedom. Before that there was no freedom. There were great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhere. Egypt and Babylon were both tyrannies, one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses.In Greece, in Athens (雅典), a little city in a little country, there were no helpless masses. And Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed, and the unwritten, which must be obeyed if free men live together. They must show each other kindness and pity and the many qualities without which life would be very painful unless one chose to live alone in the desert.The Athenians never thought that a man was free if he could do what he wanted. A man was free if he was self-controlled. To make yourself obey what you approved was freedom. They were saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair. Each one felt responsible for the welfare of Athens, not because it was forced on him from the outside, but because the city was his pride and his safety. The essential belief of the first free government in the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for the state.But discovering freedom is not like discovering computers. It cannot be discovered once for all. If people do not prize it, and work for it, it will go. Constant watch is its price. Athens changed. It was a change that took place without being noticed though it was of the extreme importance, a spiritual change which affected the whole state. It had been the Athenian’ s pride and joy to give to their city. That they could get material benefits from her never entered their minds. There had to be a complete change of attitude before they could look at the city as an employer who paid her citizens for doing her work. Now instead of men giving to the state, the state was to give to them. What the people wanted was a government which would provide a comfortable life for them; and with this as the primary object, ideas of freedom and self-reliance and responsibility were neglected to the point ofdisappearing. Athens was more and more looked on as a cooperative business possessed of great wealth in which all citizens had a right to share.Athens reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom from responsibility. There could be only one result. If men insisted on being free from the burden of self-dependence and responsibility for the common good, they would cease to be free. Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom. It is to be had on no other terms. Athens, the Athens of Ancient Greece, refused responsibility; she reached the end of freedom and was never to have it again.But, “the excellent becomes the permanent”, Aristotle said. Athens lost freedom forever, but freedom was not lost forever for the world. A great American, James Madison, referred to: “The capacity (能力) of mankind for self-government.” No doubt he had not an idea that he was speaking Greek. Athens was not in the farthest background of his mind, but once man has a great and good idea, it is never completely lost. The Digital Age cannot destroy it. Some how in this or that man’s thought such an idea lives though unconsidered by the world of action. One can never be sure that it is not on the point of breaking out into action only sure that it will do so sometime.25.What does the underlined word “tyrannies” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Countries where their people need help.B. Powerful states with higher civilization.C. Splendid empires where people enjoy freedom.D. Governments ruled with absolute power.26.People believing in freedom are those who________ .A. regard their life as their own businessB. seek gains as their primary objectC. behave within the laws and value systemsD. treat others with kindness and pity27.What change in attitude took place in Athens?A. The Athenians refused to take their responsibility.B. The Athenians no longer took pride in the city.C. The Athenians benefited spiritually from the government.D. The Athenians looked on the government as a business.28.What does the sentence “There could be only one result.” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Athens would continue to be free.B. Athens would cease to have freedom.C. Freedom would come from responsibility.D. Freedom would stop Athens from self-dependence.29.Why does the author refer to Aristotle and Madison?A. The author is hopeful about freedom.B. The author is cautious about self-government.C. The author is skeptical of Greek civilization.D. The author is proud of man’s capacity.30.What is the author’s understanding of freedom?A. Freedom can be more popular in the digital age.B. Freedom may come to an end in the digital age.C. Freedom should have priority over responsibility.D. Freedom needs to be guaranteed by responsibility.CIn 2004, when my daughter Becky was ten, she and my husband, Joe, were united in their desire for a dog. As for me, I shared none of their canine lust.But why, they pleaded. “Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” But we’ll do it. “Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” Yes, yes, and yes. “I don’t believe you.” We will. We promise.They didn’t. F rom day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day) , neither thought to walk the dog. While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to schedule her vet appointments, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one. As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small, medium, and large), she calculated ,”The medium one is the sucker in the pack .”Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵融合) . She’d look at m e with those sad brown eyes of hers, beam her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand — which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she became my fifth appendage(附肢), snoring on my home-office couch as I worked, cradling against my feet as I read, and splaying across my stomach as I watched television.Even so, part of me continued to resent walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised. Not fair , I’d balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked . “Not fair, ” I’ d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home.Then one day — January 1, 2007 , to be exact —my husband ’ s doctor uttered an unthinkable word: leukemia ( 白血病) .With that, I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital, doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of hospitalizations, Becky, 12 at the time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment's notice for medical emergencies. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with.As the months went by, I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the day's upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.When serious illness visits your household, it's not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you know acts differently.Not Misty. Take her for a walk, and she had no interest in Joe's blood counts or bone marrow test results. On the street or in the park, she had only one thing on her mind: squirrels! She was so joyous that even on the worst days, she could make me smile. On a daily basis, she reminded me that life goes on.After Joe died in 2009, Misty slept on his pillow.I'm grateful一to a point. The truth is, after years of balking, I've come to enjoy my walks with Misty. As I watch her chase after a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminds me, too, thatno matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future , there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.31.why didn't the writer agree to raise a dog at the beginning of the story?A. She was afraid the dog would get the family into trouble.B. It would be her business to take care of the dog.C. Her husband and daughter were united as one.D.

People will change their attitude toward you when you are in difficulty.DSalvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exitingthrough the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.37.Which of the following best describe Dali according to Paragraph 1?A.

It helped display their money status.B. It was created by famous architects.C. It was named after a famous institute.D. It represented the 19th century urban culture.22.What is unique of SieMatic BeauxArts?A. Its designs are anti-conventional.B. Its designs come from famous structures.C. Its customers can enjoy their own composition.D. Its customers can choose from various new styles.BEveryone looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person’s ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead to a better life and a better way of doing things.All these, however, remain true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.However,at the back of the minds of many people,especially those who miss the “good old days”, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes moreefficient,people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish .The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or to see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication gadets, such as mobile phones and ipads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally.A personal visit carries with the additional feature of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse our selves or turn the other persons off.With efficiency also comes mass production.Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today.Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handcrafts(手工艺品) are now produced in a factory.Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people’s attitude. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our need s, a new “past” is created.23.According to Paragraph 1, progress can benefit people when they are willing to _______.A. live a better lifeB. look for better methodsC. change ways of livingD. accept technology and advance steadily24.The underlined word “gadgets” is closest in meaning to _______.A. toolsB. messagesC. barriersD. skills25.The author explains “efficiency comes with a price” by _______.A. describing a processB. using examplesC. following time orderD. making classificationpared with home-made handicrafts, machine made products _______.A. lack great accuracyB. lack the personal touchC. are of high valueD. are quite welcome27.What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4?A. It can destroy old traditions.B. It can lead to social progress.C. It can be used to correct mistakes.D. It can be used to preserve old products.28.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. Progress can suit the needs of daily life.B. People review the past with great regret.C. Technology should be introduced in a fixed way.D. People’s attitude decides the use of technology.CIt was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore. Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan.Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and—most important —sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater. Mr. Bellow did not mind if you did.That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.We’d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke.Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They’re really memori es of the screen, not memories of my life.29.In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner?A. 1952B. 1962C. 1972D. 198230.What does the underlined word”It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The heatB. The theater.C. The Music ManD. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance31.What do we know about Mr. Bellow?A. He loved children very much.B. He was a fan of John Wayne.C. He sold air conditioners.D. He was a movie star.32.Why did the author and his/her brother see the same movies several times?A. The two movies were really wonderful.B. They wanted to avoid the heat outside.C. The manager of the theater was friendly.D. They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater.33.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The author turned out to be a great singer.B. The author enjoyed the heat wave of 1962.C. The author’s life has been changed by the two movies.D. The author considers the experience at the theater unforgettable.DWhen I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor of the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University（SMU）in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn’t afford the operation because her family was poor.Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas.She was cleaning out the attic（阁楼）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript（手稿）. On its top page w ere the words, “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Gainestown boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henry’s.My father then set out to sell it. Eventfully, he found himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loved the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about. But I doubt that it could have been better than his own story.34.Who found the O. Henry’s manuscript?A. The girl’s mother.B. The author’s father.C. The girl.D. The author.35.Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic?A. O. Henry once worked in Houston.B. O. Henry once stayed in Galveston.C. O. Henry once moved to Des Moines.D. O. Henry once taught at SMU.36.The underlined word “authenticated” in Paragr aph 2 probably means __________.A. namedB. treatedC. provedD. described37.According to the text, why did the author’s father go to Des Moines?A. To sell the O. Henry story.B. To meet the author himself.C. To talk with the O. Henry expert.D. To give money to the girl.三、七选五This Way to DreamlandDaydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for beingunaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetf ul and clumsy._38.__They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. __39.__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots orotherwise looking like a fool?First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others.Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.__40. _ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it w hile you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower orwalking, or even making meaningless drawings.It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concerntrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep._41. _Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.____42.Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in theclouds.A. Having interesting things to think about also helps.B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relatively, Coke or Post-it notes.D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hardto understand.G. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re inthe daydream zone.四、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

I don’t even give it a second thought. In China, it’s a whole other story! Here, or dering is a fun game of trial and error, and the adventure begins before the food is even served!Many restaurants in central Beijing advertise “English language menus”, but the translations can just add to the confusion. Although accompanying pictures can be a helpful relief, the translations often make the whole experience even more amusing. During my first few weeks in China I tried some delicious dishes with off-the-wall names. As an experiment, my friends and I would order things like “students addic ted to chicken gristle (软骨)” and “red burned lion head”. It was always fun to see what landed on our table. Eventually we learned that “lion head” was actually pork, and “students” are “addicted” to diced (切碎的) chicken with green pepper.Recently, I came across a busy restaurant down a narrow side street in a Beijing hutong. It was lunchtime and the small room was packed with people sitting on small stools (凳子) eating noodles. I was hungry and cold, and the steaming bowls looked irresistible! I sat myself d own and called out for a “caidan!” In response, the waitress pointed to a wall at the back of the restaurant. The wall was full of Chinese characters describing numerous dishes. There was only one sentence in English: “crossing over the bridge noodles”.I had never heard of the dish and had no idea what it would taste like. I took a gamble and ordered one bowl of “crossing over the bridge noodles”. A few minutes later the waitress carried over a heavy bowl full of broth (肉汤) and I quickly dug in. It was the best bowl of noodles I had ever tasted! I have been back again and again and each time I point at the one English sentence –“crossing over the bridge noodles”. I always enter a restaurant in China feeling excited and a little nervous. Who knows what the next ordering adventure will show?25.How does the writer find the English-language menus in many of Beijing’s restaurants?A. Confusing but amusing.B. Easy to understand.C. Boring and annoying.D. Accurate and helpful.26.The underlined word “gamble” in the last paragraph probably means ______.A. tasteB. lookC. stepD. risk27.The passage deals with ______.A. the author’s favorite Chinese dishesB. the fun the author had ordering food in China’s restaurantC. a comparison between Western food and Chinese foodD. the correct way to translate the names of Chinese dishes into English28.The passage is developed mainly in the form of _____________.A. examples and statementsB. comparison and conclusionC. causes and effectsD. time and descriptionCBy the time I reached junior high，I was sure I wanted to be a nurse. If you didn’t study Latin，you couldn’t be a nurse，so I enrolled. Many Latin words were familiar to me. The hard part turned out to be the usage and creating sentences with the words that seemed soeasy to pronounce. Several weeks into the course my teacher came to me，saying，“I think you should withdraw from this course. It seems to be too hard for you. ”That was the day I learned I wasn’t smart enough to become a nurse. With shame, I handed in my Latin textbook.After high school，the years raced by. I married and had children. Then one day my husband John came home. “Carol, Max died this afternoon.” I looked at my husband with disbelief.John was touched by this tragedy. Finally one evening he said，“Carol，Jackie has never worked and now she’s alone with four children. I've been thinking — if anything happens to me. I want you to be able to take care of yourself and the children. Why don’t you think about what you’d like to do and get the training you’ll need to do it?”I signed up for the entrance exam for nursing programs. One day I received a letter from the schoo1. I wanted so badly to open it，but with my lack of confidence，I laid it on the kitchen counter saying, “I'm not in the mood for a rejection letter today.”Finally I forced myself to open it. “Dear Carol，”I read. ”We are pleased to inform you that you successfully passed the entrance ex am.”An insensitive teacher once stole my dream. If you have a dream, exhaust every effort to reach it. I’ve worked thirty years now as a nurse and I’ve never been more certain that this is what I was meant to be.29.Why did John advise Carol to find a job?A．To support the family B．To provide more money for her kids C．To live a more colorful life D．To be able to live independently30.From the text, we know what the teacher said____________．A．destroyed Carol’s dream to be a nurse.B．helped Carol find her true interestC．saved Carol from wasting her timeD．encouraged Carol to be careful in learning31.After receiving the letter from the schoo1, Caro1____________．A．was uncertain about the result B．had no mood to read it then C．didn’t take it seriously at all D．couldn’t wait to open it32.What may be the best title for the text？A．A dream too high to achieve B．Too stupid to be a nurse? C．Never too late to 1earn D．A chance too important to missDAnswering the Community Needs of Our CityThe Silver City Council recognizes that citizens have certain needs.

I could feel he was a caring man through the glass.I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often 6me early in themorning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the ph one. No pleasant 7or inquiry about my life, just financial instructions. This manner of his 8me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his 9morning calls.

Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (农村的) and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner table, isa common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriageswith cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.21.According to the passage, sharing bread______.A. indicates a lack of foodB. can help to develop unityC. is a custom unique to rural areasD. has its roots in birthday celebrations22.What does the coin in vasilopita signify for its receiver in the New Year?A. Trust.B. Success.C. Health.D. Togetherness.23.The author explains the role of food in celebrations by______.A. using examplesB. making comparisonsC. analyzing causesD. describing processes24.What is the passage mainly about?A. The custom of sharing food.B. The specific meaning of food.C. The role of food in ceremonies.D. The importance of food in culture.BKatie was in big trouble．She was such a sweet kid; a third - grade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katie’s she was never ever a discipline（纪律）problem．I just couldn't imagine why she had made her parents so angry．It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom．Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch．They assumed a sit - down with Katie would solve the problem, but failed．So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.So the next day, I asked Katie to my office．"Why are you charging lunches, Katie?

A report.BFreedom and ResponsibilityFreedom’s challenge in the Digital Age is a serious topic. We are facing today a strange new world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it.Some 2,500 years ago Greece discovered freedom. Before that there was no freedom. There were great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhere. Egypt and Babylon were both tyrannies, one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses.In Greece, in Athens (雅典), a little city in a little country, there were no helpless masses. And Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed, and the unwritten, which must be obeyed if free men live together. They must show each other kindness and pity and the many qualities without which life would be very painful unless one chose to live alone in the desert.The Athenians never thought that a man was free if he could do what he wanted. A man was free if he was self-controlled. To make yourself obey what you approved was freedom. They were saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair. Each one felt responsible for the welfare of Athens, not because it was forced on him from the outside, but because the city was his pride and his safety. The essential belief of the first free government in the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for the state.But discovering freedom is not like discovering computers. It cannot be discovered once for all. If people do not prize it, and work for it, it will go. Constant watch is its price. Athens changed. It was a change that took place without being noticed though it was of the extreme importance, a spiritual change which affected the whole state. It had been the Athenian’ s pride and joy to give to their city. That they could get material benefits from her never entered their minds. There had to be a complete change of attitude before they could look at the city as an employer who paid her citizens for doing her work. Now instead of men giving to the state, the state was to give to them. What the people wanted was a government which would provide a comfortable life for them; and with this as the primary object, ideas of freedom and self-reliance and responsibility were neglected to the point ofdisappearing. Athens was more and more looked on as a cooperative business possessed of great wealth in which all citizens had a right to share.Athens reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom from responsibility. There could be only one result. If men insisted on being free from the burden of self-dependence and responsibility for the common good, they would cease to be free. Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom. It is to be had on no other terms. Athens, the Athens of Ancient Greece, refused responsibility; she reached the end of freedom and was never to have it again.But, “the excellent becomes the permanent”, Aristotle said. Athens lost freedom forever, but freedom was not lost forever for the world. A great American, James Madison, referred to: “The capacity (能力) of mankind for self-government.” No doubt he had not an idea that he was speaking Greek. Athens was not in the farthest background of his mind, but once man has a great and good idea, it is never completely lost. The Digital Age cannot destroy it. Some how in this or that man’s thought such an idea lives though unconsidered by the world of action. One can never be sure that it is not on the point of breaking out into action only sure that it will do so sometime.25.What does the underlined word “tyrannies” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Countries where their people need help.B. Powerful states with higher civilization.C. Splendid empires where people enjoy freedom.D. Governments ruled with absolute power.26.People believing in freedom are those who________ .A. regard their life as their own businessB. seek gains as their primary objectC. behave within the laws and value systemsD. treat others with kindness and pity27.What change in attitude took place in Athens?A. The Athenians refused to take their responsibility.B. The Athenians no longer took pride in the city.C. The Athenians benefited spiritually from the government.D. The Athenians looked on the government as a business.28.What does the sentence “There could be only one result.” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Athens would continue to be free.B. Athens would cease to have freedom.C. Freedom would come from responsibility.D. Freedom would stop Athens from self-dependence.29.Why does the author refer to Aristotle and Madison?A. The author is hopeful about freedom.B. The author is cautious about self-government.C. The author is skeptical of Greek civilization.D. The author is proud of man’s capacity.30.What is the author’s understanding of freedom?A. Freedom can be more popular in the digital age.B. Freedom may come to an end in the digital age.C. Freedom should have priority over responsibility.D. Freedom needs to be guaranteed by responsibility.CIn 2004, when my daughter Becky was ten, she and my husband, Joe, were united in their desire for a dog. As for me, I shared none of their canine lust.But why, they pleaded. “Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” But we’ll do it. “Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” Yes, yes, and yes. “I don’t believe you.” We will. We promise.They didn’t. F rom day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day) , neither thought to walk the dog. While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to schedule her vet appointments, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one. As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small, medium, and large), she calculated ,”The medium one is the sucker in the pack .”Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵融合) . She’d look at m e with those sad brown eyes of hers, beam her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand — which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she became my fifth appendage(附肢), snoring on my home-office couch as I worked, cradling against my feet as I read, and splaying across my stomach as I watched television.Even so, part of me continued to resent walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised. Not fair , I’d balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked . “Not fair, ” I’ d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home.Then one day — January 1, 2007 , to be exact —my husband ’ s doctor uttered an unthinkable word: leukemia ( 白血病) .With that, I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital, doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of hospitalizations, Becky, 12 at the time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment's notice for medical emergencies. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with.As the months went by, I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the day's upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.When serious illness visits your household, it's not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you know acts differently.Not Misty. Take her for a walk, and she had no interest in Joe's blood counts or bone marrow test results. On the street or in the park, she had only one thing on her mind: squirrels! She was so joyous that even on the worst days, she could make me smile. On a daily basis, she reminded me that life goes on.After Joe died in 2009, Misty slept on his pillow.I'm grateful一to a point. The truth is, after years of balking, I've come to enjoy my walks with Misty. As I watch her chase after a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminds me, too, thatno matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future , there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.31.why didn't the writer agree to raise a dog at the beginning of the story?A. She was afraid the dog would get the family into trouble.B. It would be her business to take care of the dog.C. Her husband and daughter were united as one.D.

The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exitingthrough the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.37.Which of the following best describe Dali according to Paragraph 1?A.

2016衡水万卷作业三十三考试时间：45分钟姓名：__________班级：__________考号：__________一、完形填空A few years ago, my younger brother and I went to Norfolk, Virginian by plane.1, before we took off, we heard the pilot's voice throughout the plane, “Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We have no 2on the plane. We have a generator(发电机), and we are going to 3the engines with it. We will 4in the air and head to Norfolk, and see what happens. ”See what happens? We are going to get up in the air, and see what happens? At this point, one woman started crying. “Oh, no! We are going to 5！”There were sighs of 6and anxiety quickly spreading throughout the plane, and we hadn't even 7yet. Thirty minutes passed and we were still 8there. Then the voice of the pilot came over again,“Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are 9, so are we. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working double time. ”There was crying 10we had walked in to grave(坟墓). But the pilot told us our one engine was working double time, and his 11was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and 12happened. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone 13for still being alive.Although I do sincerely like to have a plan 14“see what happens”, it really isn’t such a bad life strategy. All too often, I would see people pursuing their goals 15with inaction just because they don’t have 16success. Actually, success will never be guaranteed. The 17thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what hap-pens.If you are planning to learn a new skill, “get up in the air, and see what happens!”It might not be as 18as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought, and the result could be very 19! So don’t stay there trying nothing just because there is no 20of guaranteed success.1.A. Hopefully B. Excitedly C. UnfortunatelyD. Thankfully2.A. service B. power C. waterD. fuel3.A. shut B. fix C. changeD. start4.A. get up B. pack up C. light upD. speed up5.A. wait B. delay C. crashD. suffer6.A. rumor B. desperation C. diseaseD. pain7.A. looked over B. gone out C. got acrossD. taken off8.A. sitting B. checking C. watchingD. boarding9.A. puzzled B. patient C. anxiousD. embarrassed10.A. even if B. as if C. what ifD. only if11.A. comment B. complaint C. promiseD. plan12.A. everything B. something C. nothingD. anything13.A. escaped B. cheered C. sighedD. praised14.A. less than B. other than C. better thanD. more than15.A. frozen B. annoyed C. concernedD. satisfied16.A. realistic B, organized C. potentialD. guaranteed17.A. same B. common C. bestD. last18.A. interesting B. challenging C. surprisingD. encouraging19.A. rewarding B. disappointing C. sorrowD. trouble20.A. meaning B. sign C. actionD. reward二、阅读理解AYOU CAN HELP!Everyone was born with his own built—in burglar alarm. It’s called the sense of sight and sound. Unfortunately, many of us go around with the alarm switched off.We don’t see the stranger wandering outside the house next door.We don’t notice the sounds from the flat upstairs.(Weren’t they supposed to be on holiday?)The police can only do so much to prevent crime. There never can be enough of them to guard every home in every town. So they need your help in fighting with the burglars(窃贼), the vandals, and the car thieves.Not, of course, by setting out to have a go every time you see something suspicious. It’ll always be the job of the police to arrest criminals.But by acting as a line of communication between them and your community. For instance, you probably know far more about your immediate neighborhoods than the police ever could.A stranger in someone’s garden would probably be far more obvious to you than it would to even the local police, if, of course, you were on the look out.That’s the whole idea behind the Neighborhood Watch schemes, springing up around the country to create a spirit of watchfulness within a community, anything suspicious being reported to the police.It’s early days yet, but results so far are very encouraging. The crime figures are already dropping in many of the areas running the scheme. And all due to people like you.21. The underlined word “them”refers to “__________”.A criminalsB the policeC neighboursD strangers22. The advertisement points out that many people.A are not ready to help the policeB are not as watchful as they could beC don’t look after their gardens wellD don’t tell their neighbors about their holidays23. One of the ways we could help prevent crime is to.A turn on the alarm system in our homeB try to stop criminals from escapingC look out for people behaving suspiciouslyD inform the police if we hear noises upstairs24. The purpose of the advertisement is to in their neighborhood.A ask people to join the police forceB advise people how to protect their homesC warn people about the increasing risk of crimeD encourage people to be on watch for possible crimeBParents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone enteredthe room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself（懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,”she said, “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed(坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say，“I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.”One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.“Where did we go wrong?”her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least nomore than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.25. This text is most probably written by.A a specialist in teenager studiesB a headmaster of a middle schoolC a parent with teenage childrenD a doctor for mental health problems26. The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as.A lazyB quietC unusualD rude27. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters.A pay no attention to themB are too busy to look after themC have come to hate themD feel helpless to do muchabout them28. What is the author’s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?A Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.B Parents should pay still more attention to the change.C Parents should work more closely with school teachers.D Parents are at fault for the change in their children.CBEIJING —China's education authority will tighten the widely criticized policy of “extra credits（学分）”for the national college entrance examination to ensure a fairer chance for all exam-takers.Under the policy, high school students who win awards in national Olympic competitions could get ‘extra credits’，up to 20 points for the national college entrance exam. Students with talent in sports and students who are from ethnic groups can also benefit from this policy. The extra credits have increased these studen ts' chances of being admitted by famous universities. Some parents were found to have helped their children fabricate(伪造)award experiences or falsify qualifications to get extra credits.“It has harmed education equality，”the ministry said.Xiong Bingqi, vice-chief of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said the policy is designed to help students who have special talents but may be weak inacademic performance to have a chance to receive higher education. “it will still be needed but it is time to make the rules fairer,”he said.The ministry said it will reduce the range of competitions whose winners can get extra credits, and limit the winners, privileges(优先权).The new policy will apply to students who begin high school in 2011, it said.Chen Lei, a mother of a 10-year-old girl, said she welcomed the ministry's policy adjustment as she does not want her daughter to become an Olympic competition geek.But not all the Chinese parents welcomed the new policy. “It is like a thunderbolt for me. My - 13-year-old son has spent so much time studying Olympic math，and participated in so many technological competitions during vacations. It is useless now,”said Dong Wen, a 43-year-old mother.A student said, “Many students have changed the current study plan, and they can abandon the competition. I will be interested in learning the courses which can improve my abilities.”Yuan Guiren, minister of education, told China Daily that the reform is an attempt to consider the overall quality of an applicant. “But the country will not stop the national college entrance examination as it is still the most objective way to evaluate talent in China，”lie said.29.It can be inferred from the passage that_____.A. high school students with talent in sports are weak in academic performanceB. students who win awards in Olympic competitions can't get extra credits in 2011C. the number of competitions whose winners can be awarded extra credits will be smallerD. the extra credits have reduced students' chances of being admitted by famous colleges30.What does the underlined word “geek”probably mean?A. a winnerB. a smart learnerC. a competitorD. a dull student31.Which person in the passage was strongly against the new policy?A. Xiong BingqiB. Chen LeiC. Dong WenD. Yuan Guiren32.What might be the best title for the text?A. Extra credits，policy in China to be adjustedB. Promotion of national Olympic competitionsC. Advice on the national college entrance examD.

So they are called“diseases of civilization”.Many cancers and diseases of theblood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco，probably none.39. However，a change in food is one of the main differences between lire in ancienttimes and that of today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat，which had much less fat than domestic ones.They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits.They did nothave milk or any other dairy products and they made very little use of grains.40. We eat six times more salt than our ancestors.We eat more sugar.We eat twiceas much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.41.
