I wan t to steal it when he is asleep.”“No,no,” said the woman. “He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. Then he’ll take you before the judge.” They thought and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,” said the woman, “Why not put some into his food? If he has t he food, he will forget to take his bag away.”“How clever you are!” said the owner, “Don’t forget it when you prepare supper for him.”The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door was open and the old man had left with his bag. He wok e his wife up and said angrily, “What a fool!

She follows a special raw die t and only drinks rainwater.She looks so young that people mistake her to be the daughte r, when she’s out with her husband of 54 years, but I suppose he isn’t complaining.Mrs. Larkins says the secret to her beauty lies in her special d iet, consisting of organic vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts gr own in her own garden; she calls it the “fountain of youth”. Th e woman doesn’t touch anything that has been cooked. And another strange thing she does is to collect rainwater, to keep her garden blossoming, but also to drink. But the reside nts of Miami-Dade County, Florida, didn’t always have such a healthy lifest yle. In fact, she consumed meat regularly, as her husband us ed to own a meat factory way back inthe 1960s. It was then that she decided tochange her eating habits forever. And what a great decision t hat was. I mean, just look at her!When she started off, Mrs. Larkins was just looking for a few health benefits and never anticipated ()that she would look lik e a 40-year-old at the age of 70. Over the 27 years that she has been eati ng raw, Mrs. Larkins has written two booklets railed Journey t o Health and also produced a DVD containing all her healthy secrets.Her husband, Mr. Larkins, wishes he had followed her exampl e, because now he looks much, much older and also suffers fr om diabetes（糖尿病）and high blood pressure.

Larkins wanted to become young by following his wife’s diet.D.Mrs, Larkins owned a meat factory in the 1960sD“When your mother scolds you, you can look elsewhere and t hink about other things. Just ignore her words. But remember: such a tough attitude cannot be used often.” These words are from a series of cartoons which outline skills for children to fi ght against their mothers. The images have created heated d ebate among Chinese netizens（网民）.Regarded as “a book for children aged 6 to 12 who are alway s scolded by their parents”, the cartoons, drawn by two 10-year-old Beijing girls, list over 20 skills which children can use to de al with their mothers’ anger such as crying, pretending to be a shamed, fleeing into the toilet and pleasing her afterwards. Ea ch skill is described with vivid pictures and humorous notes. T he creativity of the young girls has amazed netizens, the Yan gtse Evening Post reported on Thursday.According to one of the girls’ mothers, her daughter once rece ived a poor mark in an exam, and the mother blamed her and compared her performance with another classmate. The daug hter’s feelings led to her creating the cartoons. The girl’s fathe r, who first posted the pictures on his Sohu Microblog on Mon day, said he hopes parents pay close attention to the pictures, allow children to feel free to develop their own characteristics and try not to criticize them so often.“The cartoons, although an individual case, reflect a modern phenomenon and some of the problems within Chinese family education,” said Yu Qinfang, an expert on family education. According to a survey of 104 children and their parents, Yu disc overed that as many as 51.9 percent of primary school studen ts hate being urged to do thingsby their mothers.“Not giving children enough time and hurryin g them to do things seems to be a very tiny detail within family life, but it is potentially a huge problem which can easily be ig nored by parents. A mother’s blame may lead to negative feeli ngs within her child’s heart,” Yu said. “Parents should learn to blame less and be more patient.”33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Yu Qinfang found that primary school pupils disliked being forced to do things.B. The father posted the cartoons on his microblog to show of f his daughter’s cleverness.C. Parents are advised to speak highly of their children freque ntly.D. How to blame children needs parents’ further study of carto ons34.What do we know about the cartoon book according to the passage?A. It is finished by children aged 6 to 12.B. It tells us how to control mothers’ feelings.C. It is intended for primary school teachers.D. It includes a number of vivid pictures and humorous notes.35. Where would you probably find this passage?A. An advertisement.B. A textbook.C. A newspaper.D. A novel.第二节：（共5小题; 每小题2分，共10分）七选五，选项中有两项为多余选项。

And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First，you must ask yourself，“Where is the wind ing from? Is it ing from ahead or behind or from the side?”You must think about this all the time on the boat.The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Let’s start with the wind blowing from behind. This means the wind and theboat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outsidethe boat. It should be at a 90° angle （角度） to the boat. Then it will catchthe wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In thiscase, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angleto the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn’tflap （摆动）. It shouldn’t look like a flag on a flagpole. If it is flapping,it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and theboat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’tgo in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. Thisis called tacking（变换航向）. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sailinside the boat.5. What should you consider first while sailing?A. Sailors’ strength.B. Wave levels.C. Wind directions.D. Size of sails.6. What does the word“It”underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The boat.B. The wind.C. The sail.D. The angle.7. What do you have to do when sailing into the wind?A. Move in a straight line.B.Tack the boatC. Lower the sail.D.Allow the sail to flap. .8. Where can you probably find the text?A.In a tourist guidebook（旅游指南）.B. In a popular magazine .C. In a physics textbook.D. In an official report（政府报告）.CMy name is Chelsea Chowderhead. A chowder（大杂烩） is a kind of soup. I waslaughed at because of my last name as soon as I started school. So when my family moved to South Carolina, I asked my dad if I could change my name.“You shouldn’t change who you are. Let people get to know you first and your name later. When you meet someone new, ask them a good question, something you’re r eally interested in. Once people start talking about themselves, they don’t judge you.”Two days later I headed to my new school for the first day of class. At lunch, I noticed that there were twin brothers who were talking to each other. I remembered my dad’s advice, so I decided to try.I noticed that their lunchboxes were identical. “What’s it like being a twin?” I asked.They looked surprised. Then one said, “No one has ever asked us that!”“Most of the time it’s good,” the other said. “When you’re a twin you always have someone to talk to and have lunch with.”In no time we were laughing and talking. Then one of the brothers said, “I’m Nicholas, and this is my brother, Nathaniel. What’s your name?”I took a deep breath and said, “I’m Chelsea Chowderhead.”“Chowder? Like the soup?” asked Nathaniel.“Yes,” I replied, looking down.“Hey, cool! Do you want to e over after school and play basketball with us?” Nathaniel asked. I nodded. And that is how I became friends with the twin brothers.9. Why did the writer want to change his name?A．People made fun of it. B．He wanted to make more friends. C．It was hard to remember. D．He wanted to be cool in the new school.10. The underlined word “identical” in Paragraph 4 probably means _____________. A．big B．beautiful C．same D．full11. When the twin brothers asked his name, the writer felt ________________. A． surprised B．nervous C．angry D．proud12. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．At last the writer changed his name.B．The twins said hello to the writer first.C．The twins also didn’t like the writer’s name.D．One can order a chowder in some restaurants.DSpring is ing, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. petition is tough（激烈）, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing,our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for panies to discourage visible （可见的） tattoos (纹身）nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do panies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员),because those people represent the panies to their customers.As a hiring manager（招聘经理） I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No pany should have to change to satisfy a candidate （面试者） simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as longas its standards are legal（合法）.13.Which of the following is the newspaper editor’ opinion according to Paragraph2?A. People’s appearances carry messages about themselves.B. Customers’ choices influence dress standards in panies.C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.14. What can be inferred from the text?A. Candidates have to wear what panies prefer for an interview.B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for panies.C. panies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.15. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Employees Matter（重要）B. Personal Choices MatterC. Hiring Managers MatterD. Appearances Matter第二节七选五（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。

From the text we may learn that Kamura is_________.A. an instructorB. a waitressC. a cookD. an artistBDear James,It is a beautiful day here and I am sitting under the big tree at the end of the garden. I have just returned from a long bikeride to an old castle. It seems amazing that at my age I am stil l fit enough to cycle 20 kilometres in an afternoon. It’s my birth day in two weeks’ time and I’ll be 82 years old! I think my long and active life must be due to the healthy life I live.This brings me to the real reason for my letter, my dear gran dson. Your mother tells me that you started smoking some tim e ago and now you are finding it difficult to give it up. Believe me, I know how easy it is to begin smoking and how tough it i s to stop. You see, during adolescence I also smoked and be came addicted to cigarettes.By the way, did you know that this is because you become addicted in three different ways? First, you can become physi cally addicted to nicotine, which is one of the hundreds of che micals in cigarettes, This means that after a while your body b ecomes accustomed to having nicotine in it. So when the drug leaves your body, you get withdrawal symptoms. I remember feeling bad-tempered and sometimes even in pain. Secondly, you becom e addicted through habit. As you know, if you do the same thi ng over and over again, you begin to do it automatically. Lastl y, you can become mentally addicted. I believed I was happie r and more relaxed after having a cigarette, so I began to thin k that I could only feel good when I smoked. I was addicted inall three ways, so it was very difficult to quit. But I did finally m anage.When I was young, I didn’t know much about the harmful eff ects of smoking. I didn’t know, for example, that it could do ter rible damage to your heart and lungs or that it was more diffic ult for smoking couples to become pregnant(怀孕）. I certainly di dn’t know their babies may have a smaller b irth weight or even be abnormal in some way. Neither did I kn ow that my cigarette smoke could affect the health of non-smokers. However, what I did know was that my girlfriend tho ught I smelt terrible. She said my breath and clothes smelt, an d that the ends of my fingers were turning yellow. She told me that she wouldn’t go out with me again unless I stopped! I als o noticed that I became breathless quickly, and that I wasn’t e njoying sport as much, When I was taken off the school footb all team because I was unfit, I knew it was time to quit smokin g.I am sending you some advice I found on the Internet. It mig ht help you to stop and strengthen your resolve. I do hope so because I want you to live as long and healthy a life as I have. Love fromGrandad24.The first paragraph shows James’ grandad .has nothing to do at home B.lives a healthy lifeC.is tired when returning from a long bike tripD.likes sitting in the garden25.The phrase “withdrawal symptoms” in para3 probably mea ns _______.分离症状 B.撤退现象 C.断瘾症状D.戒毒反应26. In what way did the old man try to persuade his grandson to give up smoking?A. Using scientific theoryB. His failure in loveC. His sports activityD. His own experience27. According to the letter, James’ grandad .A. didn’t give up smokingB. used to be a member of the sc hool football teamC. is lonelyD. wrote down the advice from his experienceCTeenagers’ fitness is now a major concern, to which physical exercise is very important. It reduces stress and improves fitn ess. Exercise makes your body strong, and helps you to keep the right body weight. Sports scientist Dr. Helen Lopez offers the following advice to teenagers: “ First, you need to find out your present level of fitness, Then you can design a program me that will help you become healthier.”Dr. Lopez suggests that there are three levels d fitness that n eed a change of lifestyle. “Overweight” means that the person gets very little exercise and often has a serious weight proble m. “Inactive” means that the person does not join in many phy sical activities, but is not seriously overweight. “Active” refers t o people who take part in sports and other physical activities, but do not have a high fitness level.According to Dr. Lopez, overweight teenagers should keep ac tive to keep healthy. “Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twenty-minute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories.” Ina ctive teenager should do similar activities, but add some bend ing and stretching exercises, such as push-ups and sit-ups, starting with twenty of each a day. “Inactive people can t ake a little more exercise than overweight people because the ir bodies are stronger.” said Dr, Lopez. The same principle ap plies to active teenagers.Dr. Lopez suggests one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise, together with fifteen minutes a day spent on stretching and bending activities. “These are r eally important in order to prevent in jures.” Dr. Lopez said. So me weight-training and other body-strengthening exercises could also be planned in the programme in order to increase the person's strength.28. What can we learn from the passage ?A. Active people always have a high fitness level.B. Overweight people always take more exercise.C. Inactive teenagers are not seriously overweightD. Keeping fit means changing teenagers’ lifestyle.29. Which of the following statements is NOT the reason why physical exercise is important ?A. It can make the teenagers grow taller.B. It can help teena gers become healthier.C. It can help to burn up calories.D. It can make bodies stro ng.30. In order to prevent injuries, you should do some_________ ___exercises.A. WalkingB. stretching and bendingC. RidingD. weig hting--training31. What is the best title for the passage?A. Doing ExerciseB. Teenagers’ FitnessC. Different LifestylesD. Overweight TeenagersDA SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTINGArt is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles i n Western art havechanged many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would beimpossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Conseq uently, this text willdescribe only the most important ones. Starting from the sixth century AD.The Middle Ages(5th to the 15th century AD)During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to repre sent religiousthemes. A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical pi cture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created a feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that i deas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Gi otto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more real istic way.The Renaissance(15th to 16th century)During the Renaissance, new ideas and values gradually re placed those held in the Middle Ages. People began to conce ntrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanisticattitude to life.At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to posses s their own paintings, so they could decorate their superb pala ces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictur es of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as th eir activities and achievements.One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first us ed by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the rules of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realis tic pictures. By coincidence,oil paints were also developed at t his time, which made the colors used in paintings look richer a nd deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for wh ich this period is famous.Impressionism(late 19h to early 20th century)In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal,from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly industrial one. Many p eople moved from the countryside to the new cities. There we re many new inventions and social changes also led to new p ainting styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived a nd worked in Paris.The Impressionists were the first painters to work outdoors. T hey were eager to show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of day. However, because natural light chan ges so quickly, the Impressionists had to paint quickly. Their p aintings were not as detailed as those of earlier painters. At fir st, many people disliked this style of painting and became ver y angry about it. They said that the painters were careless an d their paintings were ridiculous.Modern Art(29th century to today)At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings w ere controversial, but today they are accepted as the beginnin g of what we call “modern art”. This is because the Impressio nists encouraged artists to look at their environment in new w ays. There are scores of modern art styles,but without the Imp ressionists, many of these painting styles might not exist. On t he one hand, some modern art is abstract; that is, the painter does not attempt to paint objects as we see them with our eye s, but instead concentrates n certain qualities of the object, us ing colour, line and shape to represent them. On the other ha nd, some paintings of modern art are so realistic that they loo k like photographs. These styles are so different. Who can pre dict what painting styles there will be in the future?32. In the Renaissance, painters__________________.A. painted religious scenes in a more realistic styleB. focused more on religion than on humansC. began to paint outdoorsD. returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art33. Many people hate the impressionists’ style of painting at fi rst because their paintings _____.A. very abstractB. very realisticC. the same as traditional style of paintingD. very ridicul ous34. ____ discovered how to make paintings look more real by using perspective.A. Giotto di Bondone.B. Masaccio.C. Claude Monet.D. Pablo Picasso35. When did people focus more on people and less on religio n?A. From 5th to 15th century AD.B. From 15th to 16th century.C. From late 19th to early 20th century.D. From 20th cent ury to today.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。

But in the earthquake capitals of the world— Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey — rats will soon be man's best friends.What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people.But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces. So now a new researchproject is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens,the rat's brain gives a signal (信号)．This is sent to a small radio on its back,and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps,the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better.Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, "Robots' noses don't workwell when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that." Rats can also seein the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, theydon't need electricity!The "rat project" is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Organization in Scotland says, "It would be wonderful. A rat could get into spaceswe couldn't get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe." Perhaps for the firsttime in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).25. Why will rats become man's best friends in the world earthquake capitals?A. Because they can take the place of man's rescuejobs. B. Because they can find the position of people alive whoare trapped in buildings.C. Because they can serve as food for people alive who are trapped inbuildings. D. Because they can get into small spaces.26.From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person who is alive by _____.A. the noise made by therat. B. the rat's unusual behavior.C. the signal sent by the radio on the rat's back.D. the smell given off by the person.27. Which of these statements is NOT the advantage that rats have?A. They are more lovely than other animals.B. They are less expensive to train than dogs.C. They don't needelectricity. D. They are small and can get into small places.28. What can we infer from the passage?A. At present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching forpeople. B. The "rat project" has been completed.C. People are now happy to see a rat in a building.D. Now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescues.CWhat makes a gift special？Is it the price you see on the gift receipt？Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poemon top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe； my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typedthat out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poemwas focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture.

From water bottles made from seaweed to cutlery(餐具) made from rice and wheat, a number of inventions are set to change the way we eat while we are on the go, or having a relaxing picnic in the park.The idea of using seaweed to make eco-friendly water bottles has been around for a few years. Recently, Ari Jonsson took his invention—a water bottle made from red seaweed—to show off at a festival. The bottles will only hold their shape as long as they are filled. As soon as these bottles are empty they will begin to break down, though they would be perfectly safe to eat. Ari Jonsson's bottles are a step closer to a widely used alternative to the current plastic ones.The eatable water container is not the only product to add to our image of the future. Narayana Pessapaty has also created eatable spoons. After the success of his spoons, Mr. Pessapaty is ready to expand and introduce forks and chopsticks to his menu. His aim is to largely reduce the amount of plastic waste, which is a huge problem for waste sites all over the world. It is a product that may take up to 500 years to break down, and recycling companies worldwide are struggling to deal with it.Aside from the obvious benefits to the environment, this new packaging is also cheap to produce and therefore cheap to buy. Even better is the fact that similar eatable cutlery can be made at home, possibly a science project for children or just fun with friends. Why not experiment and create your own recipes?32.
