For a long time, happiness, in my eyes, is considered as a huge banner（横幅）across the finish line of a long race. I felt that only when I 31 certain things could I finally be happy in my life. Most of the time I felt like a tortoise believing that being slow and 32 would win the race. At other times I would 33 like a rabbit trying different side roads at a dangerous 34 hoping to reach that banner a little faster.

that I saw my 38 sitting beside me.
It had been with me as I 39 hard to support my family, as I played with my children and
heard their 40 and even when I was 41 with my wife at my side looking after me. It had been with me as I raced towards that s tupid banner. I just di dn’t have the 42 to see it.
There is an old Chinese proverb that says, “Tension is what you think you should be. 43 is who you are.” Perhaps we all
should stop our race towards the 44 life we think we should have and 45 the life we have now. Happiness will never be found under some banner far away. It will be found 46 your own heart, soul and mind. It will be found when you 47 that others love you just as you do.
Don’t be a tortoise or a rabbit when it comes to your happiness. Be a playful puppy and carry your stick
of 48 with you everywhere you go. 49 yourself out of the race and realize that when it comes
to love and happiness you are 50 there.

A dog found shot in the head and face with a pellet (小弹丸) gun, stuffed in a garbage bag and left to die is recovering from his injuries at an animal clinic in Texas. The bag containing the 3‐ year‐old male mixed breed was discovered tied to a fence in Conroe, Texas, earlier this month. When local residents opened the bag, the dog appeared, took a few steps and fell.
Augustyn rushed the dog to an emergency animal clinic, where he was treated for many
pellets to the face, eyes, mouth, neck and shoulders. The dog was stabilized, but according to Dr. Ron
Hendrick, a vet at the Animal Emergency Clinic of Conroe, pellets remain in both eyes and
it’s unclear whether the dog nicknamed Buck was left blind forever.
A Facebook page, Buck Needs Bucks for His Buckshot Injuries, was launched last week by Augustyn. It was created to help pay for the dog’s medical bills. The page has attracted nearly 7,000 “likes” and, according to its creator, already more than enough donations to pay for his treatment.
“The last 24 hours has been overwhelming for me,” Augustyn w rote on the page. “I have gone from not knowing if I would have enough money to pay for Buck’s emergency bill to having an unbelievable amount of money to provide the best possible care for Buck’s recovery. I have thought long and hard about this today and how I should handle this. The conclusion is
that I will open a separate bank account for Buck and all donations will be used for Buck’s recovery and necessities.” With the help of Facebook, Buck’s story quickly sparked international interest.
“Buck is now walking,” Augustyn says.
Police in Montgomery County say they are investigating the incident, and Augustyn says she has been in contact with law enforcement officials about donating a reward for information leading to the arrest of the person who tortured the dog.
Sadly, cases like Buck’s are not uncommon, particularly in Texas.
56. When Augustyn found the dog, it was .
A. tied to a fence near an animal clinic
B. being shot by its owner

D. in a horrible physical state
57. After being treated at the emergency animal clinic, the dog .
A. is still not in a stable condition
B. remains blind because of the shots
C. has no pellets remaining in his body
D. has completely recovered from his injuries
58. What was Augustyn’s purpose in launching the Facebook page?
A. To ask a vet to help treat the dog.
B. To ask for donations for the dog.
59. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that .
A. Augustyn is worried about the emergency bill
B. many people care about the injured do g’s recove ry
C. Augustyn will try to help more injured dogs
D. Augustyn doesn’t know how to deal with the donations
60. What will the passage most probably talk about next?
A. How to stop people from torturing dogs.

people who like torturing animals.

the do g’s owner abandoned him.

There are now many products and services on the market which are similar in content though produced by different companies. It is vital, therefore, for a company to distinguish itself from its competitors by having a strong company image which is immediately recognizable.
Logos are part of this image. They are symbols which often include a name or initials to identify a company. The logo establishes a visual identity for the company, just as different groups of young people express their identity through hairstyles and clothes. All groups from all cultures and throughout the ages have used colors and symbols to show their identity.
In different cultures, different colors carry different meanings. Some colors may be connected with
coldness in one culture and with warmth in another; some colors represent life in one culture but death in another. International companies have, therefore, to make sure that their logos will not be misunderstood in different countries.
The logos of large international companies are instantly recognizable throughout the world. One of the most famous logos is that of Coca‐Cola. The design of the words “Coc a‐Cola” has not changed since 1886, although the surrounding design
has been changed from time to time. Many companies have, over the years, renewed their logos to fit in with contemporary design and to present more powerful images. Company logos can be emotive and can inspire loyalty by
influencing the subconscious (潜意识的). Some logos include an idea of the product: the steering
wheel in the Mercedes logo, for example, and the aero plane tail of Alitalia.
appear in newspapers or on television as part of an advertising campaign. Companies need to have a strong corporate identity. The logo helps to promote this image and to fix it in the minds of the consumers. Logos, therefore, need to be original and to have impact and style.

Half of the world’s population is affected by Asian monsoons（季风）, but monsoons are difficult to predict. American researchers have put together a 700‐year record of the rainy seasons, which is expected to provide guidance for experts making weather predictions.
Every year, moist（潮湿的）air masses，known as monsoon，produce large amounts of rainfall in India, East Asia, Northern Australia and East Africa. All this wet air is pulled in by a high pressure area over the Indian Ocean and a low pressure area to the south.
According to Edward Cook, a weather expert at Columbia University in New York, the complex nature of the climate
systems across Asia makes monsoons hard to predict. In addition, climate records for the area are too recent and not detailed enough to be of much use. Therefore, he and a team of researchers spent more than fifteen years traveling across Asia, looking for trees old enough to provide long‐term records. They measured the rings, or circles, inside thousands of ancient trees in more than 300 places.
Rainfall has a direct link to the growth and width of rings on some kinds of trees. The researchers developed a document they are calling a Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas. It shows the effect of monsoons over seven centuries, beginning in the 1300s.
Professor Cook says the tree‐ring records show periods of wet and dry weather. “If the monsoon basically fails or is a very weak one, the trees affected by monsoons at that location might put on a very narrow ring. But if the monsoon is very strong, the trees affected by that monsoon might put on a wide ring for that year. So, the wide and narrow ring widths of the chronology that we developed in Asia provide us with a measure of monsoon variab ility.” With all this in formation,researchers say they can begin to improve computer climate models for predicting the behavior of monsoons.
“There has been widespread famine and starvation and human dying in the past in large droughts. And on the other hand, if the monsoon is particularly heavy, it can cause extensive floodin g.” said Eugene Wahl, a scientist with America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “So, to get a sense of what the regional moisture patterns have been, dryness and wetness over such a long period of time in great detail, I would call it a kind of victory for climate science.”
66. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The effects of Asian monsoons.
B. The necessity of weather forecast.
C. A breakthrough in monsoon prediction.
D. The
achievements of Edward cook.
67. It is difficult for experts to predict Asian monsoons because .
A. it is hard to keep long‐term climate records
B. there is heavy rainfall in Asia
C. they influence many nations
D. they are formed under complex climate systems
68. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The trees affected by monsoon grow fast if the monsoon is weak.
B. The Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas has a monsoon record for about 1,300 years.
C. Long and detailed climate records can offer useful information for monsoon research.
D. The
rainfall might be low although the monsoon is strong in monsoon‐affected areas.
69. What do we know about the research according to Eugene Wahl?
A. It will help people prevent droughts and floods.
B. It should include information about human life in the past.
C. It has
analyzed moisture models worldwide.
D. It is a great achievement in climate science.
70. Which of the following best describes the tone of this passage?
A. Humorous.
B. Matter‐of‐fact.
C. Pessimistic.
D.
Friendly.
第I I 卷（非选择题，共30 分）
第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）阅读下面短文，并根据题目要求用英语回答问题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

第二节When most people travel, they will spend some time reserving hotel rooms. However, my friend Ashley and I were not most people many years ago. We decided that
backpacking through Ireland would be more fun if we “winged it”.
Winging it, of course, meant that we’d each buy a one‐way ticket to Dublin, and give ourselves
ten days to get back to Bath, England, where we enrolled (报名注册) in the study‐
abroad program. The plan was to visit Dublin, Galway, Cong, and finally in Belfast. And we figured
that we could catch a flight back to England there.
Unfortunately, Ireland had other plans for us, as nothing worked out the way that we thought it would. After getting stuck in Galway and Cong for about seven days, we finally managed to take a bus trip from Cong to Belfast. The twelve‐hour bus ride started at ten in the morning, which means that we’d arrive in the heart of Belfast around ten at night. However, the bus ran late, and we ended up in Belfast around eleven‐thirty at night. As there were a ton of hotels around the area where it dropped us off, we weren’t too worried about finding a hotel room. But hotel after hotel turned us down.
After the third hotel turned us down and the fourth one was locked up for the night, Ashley and I started to realize that we had to spend a long night sleeping on a city bench. Like the soldiers, we slept in turn as we were worried we would get robbed. The system worked, as we were able to stay safe while having as much sleep we could on the bench.
From this experience, I really learnt a good lesson.
71. What does the underlined word “reserving” in Paragraph 1 mean? (1 word)
72. How many days did the author and his friend plan to travel in Ireland? (no more than 3 words)
73. How long did it take the author and his friend to get to Belfast from Cong by bus? (no more

74. Why did the author and his friend have to take turns to sleep? (no more than 8 words)
75. What lesson do you think the author and his friend learnt from their experience? (no more
than 20 wrods)
