江苏省如东中学2015-2016学年度高三英语自主练习51 一．完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）I grew up one of ten children on a farm in Wyoming. After my dad’s service in World War II, he was 1 again to fight during the Korean War, and when he returned home, he couldn’t drink 2 to numb (麻痹) his terrible memories. He struggled to 3 for his growing family.On our occasional trips to town, I 4 out boxfuls of books from the library. When I opened a book, I could 5 myself in unknown places —where children weren’t hungry and were in 6 of little.When I wasn’t daydreaming, my 7 was the life I shared with my brothers and sisters. At night I hid under the covers 8 to silence the sounds of life in an alcoholic home. Classmates asked 9 we didn’t have electricity or a telephone. I suppose my explanations were 10 more than lies, but the stories I told improved 11 every book I read.Starting at a very young age, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I sometimes got jobs to earn money — to put more food on the family table. We 12 newspapers, babysat, and cleaned other people’s houses.Mom grew vegetables, raised chickens, and baked bread, so we seldom went hungry, even when supper was only a pot of beans. 13 my real hunger wasn’t for food —it was a hunger for a better life. It was a hunger for knowledge about the world 14 our simple existence. It was a hunger to prove Dad 15 when he told us we would never amount to anything.Hunger motivated my brothers and sisters to achieve much 16 than our parents expected 17 us. We devoured (如饥似渴地吸取) the offerings of the public schools because we realized that 18 would be our steppingstone into a brighter future.Now I’m 19 of the accomplishments of my siblings: an art professor; a well-known doctor; plus business owners. And me, I’m the keeper of the family stores. I’ll never know if we would have so many accumulated successes if we had not known 20 as children. But thisI do know: I believe it can be a good thing.1.

It’s not that you don’t have enough. In fact you usually have too much time, and as a result time gets wasted. If you take good notes in class, and spend one hour reviewing your notes every day before going to sleep, you make use of the power of the subconscious (下意识) to absorb information and by the time exams come around you’ll know all the material on a subconscious level, and you don’t have to sit up the night before exams. Considering the amount of free time you usually have in college, one hour a day is not much in view of the long-term benefits.Select Easy CoursesIn your first term of college, load up on as many “easy A’s” as possible. There are severalreasons for this. The first term of college is full of excitement as it is, and there are probably even more today than ever thanks to Facebook, Twitter, and more. The last thing you want to do is add difficult coursework to this. The other reason why selecting easy courses is powerful is that it allows you to start off your college career with an extremely high GPA. Good grades have less and less of an impact on your GPA later in your college career and raising your GPA becomes much more difficult. Selecting easy courses in the first term also leaves room for the occasional failure when coursework becomes more challenging.Join (or Form) Study GroupsIf you go to a large public school where classes often have 700 plus people, study groups are an extremely effective way to ensure good grades. Study groups are often led by older students who have taken the course and received A’s in that particular course. They also often provide you with resources such as practice tests, practice problems, and many others that might not be provided by professors.Use Personal DevelopmentI c an honestly say I didn’t involve myself in personal development when I was in college. Looking back I realize that I suffered from low self-respect and a very unhealthy self-image. Without doubt this had a negative impact on my GPA. But, if I had combined personal development techniques with the three steps above, my college career would have turned out very different.If you have already started school, I recommend developing a strategy that applies these four ideas to your current schedule. If you haven’t started school yet, do some research on easier courses and what study groups might be available. If you follow through and commit to the four recommendations above, you’ll set yourself up for a very successful first term, and hopefully a very successful college career. Good luck to all of you starting the college journey.How to Graduate from College with a High GPASpend one hour every day on yourlessons.

Do you need to get your job hunt in gear?These job hunting tips from leading career experts and top executives at leading job sites will help you focus your job hunt and ensure your job hunt succeeds.When I was a kid, my father often told me that you should wait until right after lunch if you were interviewing for a job, asking someone for a favor or otherwise concerned about having someone's rapt attention. By contrast, he warned me, doing any of these things right before lunch was very bad strategy. Reason: when people are hungry, they are bound to be impatient enough; after they are fed, they are likely to be content and generous. Something to remember in marketing yourself. Once again, it seems that my father indeed knew best. A recent academic study of petitions for parole indicates that, controlling for all other factors, the sooner after a meal that a case came up before the judges, the more likely the judges were to grant the petition.It is a mistake to believe that you cannot negotiate compensation when you receive a job offer, despite the overall weak job market. Organizations may decide not to fill a position because of the business climate, but once they decide to fill a position, they usually want the best candidate and are willing to pay them what they need in order to get them to accept and feel good about the offer. That means once an organization decides that you are the person they want to hire, you are in a relatively strong position to negotiate compensation. Companies rarely include everything they have in their initial offer because they want to retain some flexibility to negotiate with the candidate. Offers almost never are withdrawn because you seek more as long as you ask in the right way (i.e. no ultimatums or threats.) Even if you are unemployed you can negotiate compensation if you know how. Simply put, if you don't ask you are likely to be leaving money on the table.For those with an adventurous spirit or simply wanting to take a different approach to their job hunt, we recommend giving seasonal work a try. One major perk of a seasonal job is to be able to fully commit and try out a new field, location, or job without the full-blown expectations of accepting a year-round job with similar scope. Anyone can do a job for three to six months and see if they like it. This type of work may also be a good fit for the recently laid off to fill in the gaps while looking for full time work. In our experience, seasonal jobs can play a major role in your work/career discovery process. Knowing that many are out of work and re-assessing their skill sets, this type of work might be just the ticket to send job seekers on a new and exciting path.Companies spend a great deal of effort trying to find the right candidate, but in this economy it can be easy for job seekers to forget that there are in fact many employers looking for them. It’s key for job seekers to stay up-to-date on where employers go to find candidates and develop a presence there. Indeed Resume, an open resume search engine, is a great example of where companies will be searching for employees in 2012. Because Indeed Resume is open to all companies, your resume can be found by many more employers. To protect your privacy, employers can’t see you r personal contact information until you provide approval.自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated自主练习57单项选择CBBAD AACCD BDBAC BABBC完形填空ACDBB DBACA CBDAD DABCC任务型阅读71. impatient 72. generosity 73. offered 74. open 75. employed/hired 76. fail 77. seasonal 78. unemployed 79. seekers/hunters 80. updated。

This becomes the moment to build upon that thought and to put 50 any ideas that are streaming from that little thought for later review. 51 meaningless little thought or ideas when acted upon have a 52 to explode into great projects. Many successful projects have been 53 from the little positive thoughts that were carefully protected and recognized as bricks to great things.Don't waste a(n) 54 to act on a potentially brilliant idea.

Check in for reservations, and receive meet-up alerts when you are at a store.BOne evening a few years ago I found myself in anxiety. Nothing was really wrong — my family and I were healthy, my career was busy and successful — I was just feeling down and in need of a friend who could raise my spirits, someone who would meet me for coffee and let me shout until the clouds lifted. I dialed my best friend, who now lives across the country in California, and got her voicemail. That’s when it started to dawn on me —loneliness was at the root of my sadness. My social life had lessened to almost nothing, but somehow until that moment I’d been too busy to notice. Now it hit me hard. My old friends, buddies since college or even childhood, know everything about me; when they left, they had taken my context with them.Research has shown the long-range negative consequences of social isolation on one’s health. So I resolved to a cquire new friends —women like me who had kids and enjoyed rolling their eyes at the world a little bit just as I did. Since I’d be making friends with more intention than I’d ever given the process, I realized I could be selective, that I could in effect design my own social life. The down side, of course, was that I felt pretty frightened.After all, it’s a whole lot harder to make friends in midlife tha n it is when you’re younger —a fact women I’ve spoken with point out again and again. As Leslie Danzi g, 41, a Chicago theater director and mother, sees it, when you’re in your teens and 20s, you’re more or less friends with everyone unless there’s a reason not to be. Your college roommate becomes your best pal at least partly due to proximity. Now there n eeds to be a reason to be friends. “There are many people I’m comfortable around, but I wouldn’t go so far as to call them friends. Comfort isn’t enough to maintain a real friendship,” Danzig says.At first, finding new companions felt awkward. At 40 I cou ldn’t run up to people the way my 4-year-old daughters do on the playground and ask, “Will you be my friend? Every time you start a new relationship, you’re vulnerable again,” agrees Kathleen Hall, D Min, founder and CEO of the Stress Institute, in Atlanta. “You’re asking, ‘Would you like to come into my life?’ It makes us self-conscious.”Fortunately, my discomfort soon passed. I realized that as a mature friend seeker my vulnerability risk was actually pretty low. If someone didn’t take me up on my offer, so what: I wasn’t in junior high, when I might have been rejected for having the wrong clothes or hair. At my age I have gathered enough self-esteem to realize that I have plenty to offer.A new friend, chosen right, can help you turn over a new leaf and point your boat in the direction you want to go. Hanna Dershowitz, 39, an attorney and mother in Los Angeles, found that a new acquaintance from work was exactly what she needed in a friend. In addition to liking and respecting Julia, Dershowitz had a feeling that the fit and athletic younger woman would help her to get in shape.While you’re busy making new friends, remember that you still need to care for your old ones. We asked Marla Paul, author of The Friendship Crisis, for thebest ways to maintain these important relationships. Keep in touch. Your friends should be a priority; schedule regular lunch dates or coffee catch-up sessions, no matter how busy you are. Know her business. Keep track of important events in a friend’s life and show your support.Call or e-mail to let her know you’re thinking of her. Speak your mind. Tell a friend (politely) if something she did really upset you. If you can’t be totally honest, then you need to reexamine the relationship. Accept her flaws. No one is perfect, so work around her quirks —she’s often late, or she’s a bit negative — to cut down on frustration and fights. Boost her ego. Heartfelt praises make everyone feel great, so tell her how much you love her new sweater or what a great job she did on a work project.59. What is the major function of the first paragraph?A. To summarize the whole passage.B. To introduce the topic of the passage.C. To tell the readers why we need friends.D. To inform the readers of what the author is.60. Leslie Danzig thinks maki ng friends at one’s middle age ______.A. is easier than that at a young ageB. needs some reasonsC. makes others feel comfortableD. isn’t a real friendship61. According to the passage, with newly made friends, you can have a chance to______.A. take on a new look in your lifeB. get rid of your bad habitsC. contact with more old friendsD. gather enough self-esteem62. What can be the best title of the passage?A. A Mature Friend Seeker—Choosing Right FriendsB. A Well-chosen Friend—Helping Gather Enough Self-esteemC. Comfortable Friendship—Cutting down on FrustrationD. The Art of Friendship—Making Friends in MiddleCThe term “Industry 4.0” refers to the fourth industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution was the production of goods with machines like steam engines, which was followed by the second industrial revolution that introduced mass production with the help of electric power, followed by the digital revolution —the use of electronics and IT in production.Industry 4.0 is a high-tech project, which promotes the computerization of manufacturing. The basic principle of Industry 4.0 is that by connecting machines, work pieces and systems, we are creating intelligent networks along the entire value chain that can control each other automatically. The goal is the Smart Factory, which adapts well and uses resources efficiently as well as linking customers and business partners with great intelligence. Technological basis are the Internet systems and advanced factories. Experts believe that Industry 4.0 could be a reality in about 10 to 20 years.So, what effects does this change have on the classic manufacturing? According to an expert, “It is highly likely that the world of production will become more and more net worked until everything is connected with everything else.” Networksand processes have so far been limited to one factory. But in the time of Industry 4.0, the boundaries of individual factories will most likely no longer exist. Instead, they will be lifted in order to inter-connect multiple factories or even geographical regions.How is an Industry 4.0 factory different from a today’s factory? In current industry environment, providing high-end quality service or product with the least cost is the key to success. Factories are trying to increase their profit as much as possible. In the time of Industry 4.0, various data sources are available to provide worthwhile information about different aspects of the factory. Using data for understanding the current condition and checking faults and failures is a natural thing. The sharing of information around the clock and around the globe will enable these connected systems to manage themselves independently, work more efficiently and identify any errors quickly.The good news is that Europe is much better prepared for the Industry 4.0 revolution than one might think. Europe will position itself as a pioneer in the fourth revolution. Industry 4.0 is a project in the high-tech strategy of the German government. Meanwhile, in the U.S., some companies are also working hard on it. But the success of industry depends on whether business and politics can work together.I t’s not only politics that needs to help open the door for Industry 4.0. Every company is advised to seize the new digital opportunities.63. What marks the coming of Industry 4.0?A. Steam engines.B. Mass production.C. Use of electronics.D. Intelligent networks.64. Industry 4.0 will probably result in ______ in the world of manufacturing.A. production limited to an individual factoryB. everything connected with everything elseC. networks and processes no longer existingD. classic factories stopping their competition65. What’s the meaning of the underlined part in Para. 4?A. Sharing information of the world time.B. Global news broadcast at any time.C. Instant worldwide information exchange.D. Spreading news widely on the hour.66. According to the last paragraph, who is the most active in pushing Industry 4.0?A. The European companies.B. The American government.C. The American companies.D. The German government.DKING LEARPart 3NARRATOR: As soon as Goneril has got all she can from her father, she begins treating him disrespectfully.

Why didn’t he come back whenI called?SOLDIER: Sir, he answered me very rudely and said he would not come back. LEAR: I don’t b elieve it!SOLDIER: Sir, I am sorry, to tell you this, but it seems to me that you are not being treated with the respect due to a king.

You always seem to befrowning lately.GONERIL: Is it any wonder that I frown when your soldiers are continually drinking and fighting?

I do believeyou are encouraging your soldiers in their bad behavior.LEAR: Is this my daughter scolding me?GONERIL: I have had enough of your soldiers. They are expensive to keep and you don't need them. Besides, their drunken behavior and bad manners aredisgusting. You will send half of them away.

My soldiers are good men who know how to behave properly.I won't stay here to be insulted. I still have one more daughter. She'llscratch out your eyes when she hears how you've treated me. Men!

He told a meeting of regi onal leaders that his country’s growth rate had tumbled "a bit too much.""China's inflation is also declining, so we need to be very careful to see if the disinflation trend will continue, and if deflation will happen or not," said Zhou, His remarks were made at the Boao Forum for Asia, an annual conference on the island of Hainan in southern China. Zhou added that China could "have room to act" by taking "quantitative measures" and setting interest rates.For many, the way he described China’s health was no surprise. The country’s economy has not been growing this slowly since the 1990s. Companies in debt are seeing sickly profit margins. Banks are carrying loads of debt, too, and the housing market is slowing. China’s official 2015 GDP growth target is 7%, but that seems shaky.Acknowledging that significant intervention has to be on the table is a big deal for China. Everyone has known for years that this slowdown was coming because the government is purposely transitioning its economy from one based on foreign investment to one based on domestic consumption. It is a brutal process, but the government knows it is the only way the country will become the self-sustaining superpower it wants to be.(Barlcays)Until now, while the Chinese government had acknowledged the slowdown was rough, it had assured the world that the situation was under control. Just a few weeks ago, Chinese officials were saying they would be monitoring deflation but still were not that keen on intervening with policy measures.Now it s eems they are warming to the idea. In January, China’s headline consumer price inflation hit 0.8%, then it bounced back up to 1.4% in February. March probably isn’t looking that great either from the People’s Bank of China’s point."Widening PPI deflation and soft CPI inflation, especially after adjusting for seasonal effects, point to persistent deflation risks," Barclays wrote after February's number came out. "In our view, the monetary policy needs to be more 'proactive' in order to deal with the cyclical challenges in the near term."18. Which of the following illustrates ―growth rate had tumbled‖ in Paragraph 1?A. setting interest ratesB. economic transitionC. bounce of CPID. FIGURE 119. We can infer from the passage that one of the solutions to the slowdown could be _______ if needed.A. monitoring deflationB. expanding foreign investmentC. making new policy measuresD. reducing domestic consumption20. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A. Zhou's admission is a big deal and a little bit irresponsible.B. The Chinese government has admitted that things aren't going so well.C. China should be more active in its struggle against inflation.D. China's economy has been growing fast since the 1990s.CAlan, 17, was randomly shot and killed by a gang member. His father, Keith, and his mother, Donna, were filled with anger as they followed the all-consuming ongoing investigation into the killing. A close couple, friends of Keith and Donna's, dropped in one evening and said to them, "You have to accept this loss. Your son is gone and none of this is going to bring him back. All you need now is acceptance." Keith got angry with his friend and asked, "What part of Alan's death don't you think I accept? Believe me, I hate to be in so much pain."Acceptance is not about liking a situation. It is about acknowledging all that has been lost and learning to live with that loss. It would be too soon for Keith to be able to accept the situation. He can acknowledge the reality of the loss, but it would be unrealistic to think he should have found some peace with it by then.The gang member who killed Alan was sentenced to life in prison, and Keith and Donna went back to their own lives. But Keith actually had a new loss to deal with, an emptiness, which made the absence of his son's loss even louder.It is important for people to understand that gradually, in your own time, you can begin to find some peace with what has happened. In situations such as murder, it is vital to understand we have a legal system, not necessarily a justice system. Acceptance is a process that we experience, not a final stage with an end point.No one else could know how much acceptance Keith was capable of or how time would affect his process. After five years, Keith felt he had found as much acceptance as was possible. Then he was notified that the shooter was up for hi s parole ( 假释) hearing. Keith was onceagain filled with anger. The proceedings were brief and parole was denied. Keith was struck by how quickly it happened and by the tears of the shooter's father. For the first time, Keith realized that there were victims on both ends of the gun.Keith walked over and shook his hand. A t that moment, something happened: Keith’s anger was replaced by a curiosity. He wanted to know what this other father's life was like and what led him to the same place. Over the next few years, the two men worked together helping gang members stop the violence and find their place in the world.Keith's acceptance was a journey deeper than ever expected. And it happened over many years, not many months or days. Not everyone will or can fully embrace those who have hurt us, as Keith did, but there is always a struggle that leads us to our own personal and unique acceptance.21. Alan’s parents were very angry at their son’s death because _______.A. he was innocently killedB. he was a member of a gangC. their friends brought the truth back to themD. the murders were soon released22.

Embracing the pain that has made you hurt.D. Finding some peace with what has happened.23. What personality can we infer from the passage about Keith?A. Tolerant.B. Timid.C. Irresponsible.D. Just.24. The journey of acceptance is _______.A. necessary but unrealisticB. uniquely characterizedC. full of curiosity and violenceD. not long but unexpectedDUnlike other men of his time, Irish writer Oscar Wilde was showy, outspoken and unconventional. At the height of his fame, he was betrayed by his lover Lord Alfred Douglas and had to serve two years hard labor for being himself. He died three years after he came out ofprison.The work Wilde is remembered for was written over a period of less than 10 years. The Happy Prince and Other Tales was published in 1888. That volume marks the beginning of Wilde’s true creativity. However, academic criticism of Wilde’s work has too often dismissed his fairy stories as lesser works, a minor bit of sentimentalism(多愁善感).Today, since JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials, children’s literature has been repositioned as central, not secondary, shifting what children read, what we write about what children read, and what we read as adults. At last we seem to understand that imagination is ageless. Wilde’s children’s stories are splendid. In addition, it seems to me that they should be revisited as a defining part of his creative process.―The Happy Prince‖ starts a new note in Wilde’s writing: loss. Fairytales always involve reversals of fortune. This works in both directions: beggars become kings, palaces collapse into shelters, the spoilt son swallows bitterness. Wilde’s own reversal of fortune from fame and money to poverty and imprisonment shares the same rapid drama. Fairytales are also and always about transformation of various kinds – frogs into princes, coal into gold – and if they are not overly moralistic, there is usually a happy ending. Wil de’s fairytale transformations turn on loss.―The Happy Prince‖ is the story of a gilded(鎏金的) and jeweled statue on a column high above the town. One day, a Swallow rests at the feet of the Happy Prince, who tells him of all the suffering he can see. He asks the Swallow to take the ruby(红宝石) from his sword and give it to a poor family. The Swallow does so. The Prince begs him to stay and to strip him bit by bit of all his gold and jewels to distribute to others. The weather is getting colder and the Swallow knows he should fly to the sun. But as he takes the Prince’s jeweled eyes, he realizes that he must stay, for now the Prince is blind.Winter comes. The Swallow dies at the feet of the Happy Prince, no longer sparkling with jewels and gold. The Mayor has the statue pulled down. As the workmen melt down the Prince they find they cannot melt his heart. They throw it on the rubbish pile next to the body of a swallow.I don’t think anything could be closer in description than this to the criticism of Wilde an d his talent by a society fascinated with appearances and indifferent to imagination.Wilde believed in the soul. The soul is often described as a bird – and if Wilde is the Happy Prince, then the Swallowis his soul, that returns to him and will not leave him._______ gift and sacrifice is another theme of Wilde’s fairy stories.In ―The Nightingale and the Rose‖, a Nightingale colors a white rose red with her own heart’s blood so that a poor student will have the most beautiful flower in the world to give to his beloved. His beloved rejects him and his rose, and the rose is thrown in the gutter(排水沟), where it is broken by a cart-wheel. As Wilde says in his letter to Douglas: ―Having got hold of my life you didn’t know what to do with it… and so you broke it.‖Reason and logic are tools for understanding the world. We need a means of understanding ourselves, too. That is what imagination allows. When a child reads of a Nightingale who bleeds her song into a rose for love’s sake, or of a statue who feels the suffering of the world more keenly than the Mathematics Master who scoffs (嘲笑) at his pupils for dreaming about Angels, the child knows at once both the mystery and truth of such stories. We have all at some point in our lives been the overlooked idiot who finds a way to kill the dragon, win the treasure, marry the princess.25. What has caused people to reevaluate Wilde’s fairytales?A. Wilde’s fairytales are well written.B. The Happy Prince and Other Tale marks the beginning of his true creativity.C. Children’s stories are regarded as important as other literary works.D. Unlike other fairytales, Wilde’s stories have sad ends.26. Which is closest in meaning of the underline d word ―note‖(paragraph 4)?A. Message.B. Theme.C. Tone.D. Attention.27. Wilde’s focus on loss because of _______.A. Douglas’ betrayalB. avoidance of being moralisticC. the rise and fall of his lifeD. his belief in the soul28. The missing words in paragraph 8 should be ―_______‖.A. Indifference toB. Applause forC. Reflection onD. Condemnation of29. What does the author think is the most valuable feature of Wilde’s fairytales?A. Sentimentalism.B. Imagination.C. Loss.D. Sacrifice.30. What does the author mean in the last paragraph?A. It is necessary for children to read some fairytales.B. Fairytales should be read differently from serious works.C. Everybody goes through a period of fantasy in his life.D. Fairytales constitute an important part of one’s growth.自主练习29 单选1-5 BBDDA 6-10 ABDAC 11-15 AABBA阅读A) AD B）DCB C) ADAB D) CBCABD。

True self-confidence isn't an overnight acquisition. It takes dedication to realize you are a good human being that is wo rthy of respect and love.Recognize your insecuritiesWhat does that voice in the back of your mind say? Why do you feel uncomfortable or ashamed of yourself? This could be anything from regrets to friends at school or negative experience. Whatever is making you feel unworthy, or ashamed, identify it, give it a name, and write it down. You can also tear these written pieces to start feeling positive on those points.Get rid of insecurities graduallyEach day you should weaken it. There's no quick fix. Get to the root of the problem; focus on it and understand that you need to resolve each issue before you can move on. Check if it is an old past emotion and if it is really still relevant or applicable in your life today. And that does not mean you have to get rid of whatever makes you feel bad (many times, you simply can't). You need to learn to accept yourself, your past, your circumstances as they are, without necessarily thinking of th em as “bad”.Identify your successesEveryone is good at something, so discover the things at which you do extremely well, then focus on your talents. Give yourself permission to be proud of them. Give yourself credit for your successes. Inferiority (自卑) is a state of mind in which you've declared yourself a victim. Do not allow yourself to be victimized.Be PositiveAvoid self-pity, or the pity and sympathy of others. Never allow others to make you feel inferior—they can only do so if you let them. If you continue to dislike and look down upon yourself, others are going to do and believe likewise. Instead, speak in a positive way about yourself, about your future, and about your progress. Do not be afraid to show your strengths and qualities to others. By doing so, you strengthen those ideas in your mind and encourage your growth in a positive direction.Apply “facial feedback theory”Studies surrounding what’s called the "facial feedback theory" suggest that the expressions on your face can actually encourage your brain to express certain emotions. So look in the mirror and smile every day, and you might feel happier with yourself and more confident in the long run.Help othersWhen you know you’re of help to the people around you, and are making a posi tive difference in other people’s lives (even if it's just being kinder to the personwho serves you coffee in the morning), you'll know that you are a positive force in the world—which will boost yourself confidence.Now, dear friends, will you let confidence keep you company? Be confident, and accomplishing your goals will be just around the corner.39答案完形填空1-5 ADCBB 6-10 ADACB 11-15 DAABB 16-20 DACBC单项填空21-25 DCADD 26-30 CABDC 31-35 CDCCD 26-30 CABDC任务型阅读71 makes/leaves; 72 Removing;73causes / roots; 74what; 75pride; 76 positively; 77pitied / sympathized; 78.confidence; 79. helpful; 80.respected。

But according to a recent study, there is a different story.The study suggests the Chinese government’s long-running efforts to control the Yellow River with levees(防洪堤) and other flood-control systems actually made flooding much worse. This, researchers claim, set the stage for a catastrophic flood between 14-17 AD, which may have caused the collapse of the Western Han Dy nasty. “Human intervention(介入) in the Chinese environment is relatively massive, remarkably early and nowhere more keenly witnessed than in attempts to control the Yellow River,” said Dr Tristram Kidder from Washington University.Dr Kidder’s research is b ased on a study of sedimentary soils(沉积土) deposited along the Yellow River over thousands of years. It included data from the Sanyangzhuang site, known today as “China’s Pompeii,” which was slowly buried beneath five metres of sediment during a massive flood in 14-17 AD. It also looked at the Anshang site, discovered in 2012, which includes the remains of a human-constructed levee dating back to the Zhou Dynasty from 1046-256 BC.Researchers said patterns of sedimentary deposits date back about 10,000 years. Nearly a third of this 10,000-year cross-section has been deposited in the last 2,000 years, indicating that the rate of deposit has steadily increased at a pace that mirrors the expansion of human activity in the region. “Our analysis clearly shows that these levees are not naturally formed, but are indeed artificially created through the work of humans,” said Dr Kidder.His research suggests the Chinese began building drainage(排水) canals and bank systems along the lower reaches of the Yellow River between 2,900 and 2,700 years ago. The sedimentary record shows a vicious cycle of primitive levees built larger and larger as erosion(侵蚀) increased, and periodic floods grew more widespread and destructive. “It’s easy to see the trap they fell into,” Dr Kidder said. “Building levees causes sediments to accumulate in the river bed, raising the river higher, and making it more vulnerable to flooding, which requires you to build the levee higher, which causes the sediments to accumulate, and the process repeats it self.”While there are many theories behind the fall of the Western Han Dynasty, Dr Kidder’s research suggests human interaction with the environment played a central role.19. What is the different story mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. Flooding of the Yellow River may have claimed millions of lives.B. Flooding of the Yellow River may have resulted from humans’ breaking the laws of nature.C. Flooding of the Yellow River may have been worsened due to human intervention.D. Flooding of the Yellow River may have caused the collapse of the Western Han Dynasty.20. Dr Kidder’s research findings are achieved thanks to the study of .A. the theories of building flood-control systemsB. great flooding happening in ancient ChinaC. the history of the Western Han DynastyD. sediments along the Yellow River21.The underlined part “the trap” in the last but one paragraph refers to “”.A. the primitive levees being more vulnerable to floodingB. the ever-increasing river bed making the river more likely to floodC. the sediments accumulating in the river bed making the river bank looserD. the ever-increasing river bed making the levee-building work more difficultCLook into hunters’ eyesHA VE you ever been face to face with a cat or a sheep? If you have, you probably noticed that cats narrow their eyes to vertical (垂直的) slits (狭缝), while sheep have horizontal pupils (瞳孔).Why is the difference?Scientists from the Universities of California Berkeley and Durham in Britain may have the answer. Their research, published recently in the journal Science Advances, suggested that pupils’ shapes could tell whether an animal is a hunter or gets hunted.The researchers took a close look at the eyes of 214 land animals. The challenge was to see if they could find a relationship between an animal’s role in the food chain and the pupils’ shapes.They found a pattern. Species with pupils that are vertical slits are more likely to be small ambush predators (捕猎者) –creatures that lie in wait for their lunch. In contrast, those with horizontal pupils are more likely to be plant-eating prey (猎物Evolution chose the arrangement for a good reason. For hunters such as household cats, it appears that vertical pupils not only improve their ability to keep track of moving objects like mice, but also maximize (使最大化) their ability to judge the distances of the animals they hunt.However, an interesting discovery from the study is that the slit pupils are mostly linked to hunters that are close to the ground. Therefore, bigger cats who actively hunt down their prey, like tigers and lions, don’t have slit pupils.On the other hand, for plant-eating prey animals, horizontal pupils give them a wider field of vision. When stretched (伸展) horizontally, the pupils allow for more light to enter from the front, back, and sides. Meanwhile, they also limit the amount of light from the sun above so the animal can see the ground better. “Once they do detect (发现) a predator, they need to see where they are running,” said leading res earcher Martin Banks, a UC Berkeley professor of optometry (视光学). “They have to see well enough out of the corner of their eye to run quickly and jump over things.”But what happens when they bend down to eat? Researchers checked this by watching prey animals in the Oakland Zoo in California, US. They confirmed (确认) that when goats lower their heads to eat, their eyes rotate (旋转) to keep their pupils horizontal.So it seems that the eyes are indeed the window to the soul!22. What is the article mainly about?A. How animals keep track of moving objects.B. Why animals have evolved with different shaped pupils.C. How animals change their pupils’ shape when hunting for food.D. How the pupils’ shape influences an animal’s ability to detect a predator.23. According to the study, slit pupils ______.A. help to provide a wider field of visionB. are more likely to belong to big predatorsC. are more likely to belong to those to get huntedD. provide the sharpest way to judge hunting distance24. What can we conclude from the article about plant-eating prey animals?A. Their pupils allow more light to be received from both above and below.B. Their pupils are able to help them scan their surroundings for threats.C. Once they detect a predator, their eyes rotate to help them find where to run.D. When they lower their heads to eat, they narrow their eyes to vertical slits.DMy mind went blank when I saw the gun pointing against the car window as we pulled out of the garage. This can’t be happening to me. Then I felt the gun, cold, against my head, and I heard my friend Jeremy saying, “What do you want? Take my wallet,” but at the time I thought of nothing.I remember being a little annoyed when the gunman pulled me from the car by the hair. I remember the walk to the house --- Jeremy, me, the two men with two guns. I remember the fear and anger in the gunmen’s voices because Jeremy was being slow, and I remember wondering why he was being slow. I did not realize that Jeremy had thrown the keys into the bush. But I remember that sound of the gun hitting Jeremy’s head and the feeling as the man who had hold of my hair released me. And I remember the split second when I realized he was looking at Jeremy, and I remember wondering how far I could run before he pulled the trigger. But I was already running, and upon reaching the car across the street, I didn’t crouch(蹲伏) behind it but screamed instead.I remember thinking there was something ridiculous and illogical about screaming “Help, help!” at eight o’clock on a T uesday evening in December and changing my plea(恳求) to themore specific “Help, let me in, please let me in!” But the houses were cold, closed, unfriendly, and I ran on until I heard Jeremy’s screams behind me announcing that our attackers had fled.The neighbors who had not opened their doors to us came out with baseball bats and helped Jeremy find his glasses and keys. In a group they were very brave. We waited for the police to come until someone said to someone else that the noodles were getting cold, and I said politely, “Please go and eat. We’re OK.”I was happy to see them go. They had been talking of stricter sentences for criminals, of bringing back the death penalty(处罚) and how the President is going to clean up the country. I was thinking, they could be saying all of this over my dead body, and I still feel that stiffer sentences wouldn’t change a thing. In a rush all the anger I should have felt for my attackers was directed against these contented people standing in front of their warm, comfortable homes talking about all the guns they were going to buy. What good would guns have been to Jeremy and me?People all over the neighborhood had called to report our screams, and the police turned out in force twenty minutes later. They were ill-tempered about what was, to them, much trouble about nothing. After all, Jeremy was hardly hurt, and we were hopeless when it came to describing the gunmen. “Typical,” said one policeman when we couldn’t even agree on how tall the men were. Both of us were able to describe the guns in horrifying detail, but the two policemen who stayed to make the report didn’t think that would be much help.The policemen were matter-of-fact about the whole thing. The thin one said, “That was a stupid thing to do, throwing away the keys. When a man has a gun against your head you do what you’re told.” Jeremy looked properly embarrassed.Then the fat policeman came up and the thin one went to look around the outside of the house. “That was the best thing you could have done, throwing away the keys,” he said. “If you had gone into the house with them…” His voice became weaker. “They would have hurt her” --- he twisted his head toward me --- “and killed you both.” Jeremy looked happier. “Look,” said the fat policeman kindly, “there’s no right or wrong in the situation. There’s just luck.”All that sleepless night I replayed the moment those black gloves came up to the car window. How long did the whole thing last? Three minutes, five, eight? No matter how many hours of my life I may spend reliving it, I know there is no way to prepare for the next time --- no intelligent response to a gun. The fat cop was right. There’s only luck. The next time I might end up dead.And I’m sure there will be a next time. It can happen anywhere, anyt ime, to anyone. Security is an illusion(幻觉); there is no safety in locks or in guns. Guns make some people feel safe and some people feel strong, but they’re fooling themselves.25. When the writer saw the gun pointing against the car window, ________.A. she felt very annoyedB. she lost consciousnessC. s he lost the power of thinkingD. she felt very much nervous26. What most possibly drove the two gunmen away?A. Jeremy’s fightingB. The police’s arrivalC. Their neighbor’s brave actionD. The author’s screaming27. When the author called for help, the neighbors didn’t come out immediately because ________.A. t hey needed time to find baseball batsB. they were busy preparing dinnersC. they were much too frightenedD. they thought someone was playing a trick28. The author was happy to see the neighbors go because ________.A. she wanted to be left alone with Jeremy to get over the shockB. she did not want to become an object of pityC. she was angered by their being late to come to her helpD. she hated to listen to their empty talk29. The police were rather angry because ________.A. they thought it was a case of little importanceB. the author was not hurt and gave a false alarmC. the author and Jeremy could not tell the police anythingD. the gunmen had already fled when they arrived on the scene30. What the author wants to tell us is that ________.A. neighbors are not helpful in moments of difficultyB. security is impossible as long as people can have gunsC. the police are not reliable when one is in troubleD. preventing robbers entering your house is the best choice自主练习34答案1-5 CBABC 6-10 CBDBA 11-15 ACABA16-18 DBC 19-21 CDB 22-24 BDB 25-30 CDCDAB。

Where can you most probably find this passage?A. In a high school text book.B. In a history magazine.C. In a state-owned newspaper.D. In a traveler’s booklet.BIn this section, we are concerned with reconstructive memory. Suppose you are trying to remember some event. Reconstructive memory would involve combining the pieces of information about the event you can remember with your relevant knowledge and experience to reconstruct what probably happened. The concept of reconstructive memory is related to schema theory. A schema is an organized package of information containing your knowledge about the world; it helps us to make sense of it all. Schemas are stored in long-term memory. Your schemas tell you that if you were wearing a T-shirt it was likely to be summer. Bower, Black, and Turner showed that most people share similar schemas. Most people listed the following as the most important events associated with having a restaurant meal: sitting down, looking at the menu, ordering, eating, paying the bill, and leaving the restaurant.In the early 1930s, it was generally assumed that memory simply involves remembering the information presented to us. However Bartlett argued that memory was often more complex than that, in that previous knowledge in the form of schemas has influence on our memory. He thought what was of key importance was to ask participants to memorize a text selected to produce conflict between its contents and their knowledge of the world. As a result, the participants would connect their own schemas to the contents. This would result in misrepresentation of the material. For example, if people read a story taken from a different culture, then this would contain words and concepts that were foreign It would be likely that the participants' previous knowledge would influence the way this information was remembered, making it more acceptable from the standpoint of their own cultural background.Bartlett's work suggested that the process of remembering things is an active reconstruction of the bits that are stored. What is involved here has been compared to using a few dinosaur bones to reconstruct what the dinosaur probably looked like. When you learn something, it is actually only elements of the experience that are stored.So reconstructions are made by combining the real elements of a memory with your knowledge of the world. Our prejudices will influence what we think we have seen, and how we later recall the information.23. How does the author explain the schema theory in Paragraph l?A. By explaining principles in daily life.B. By comparing different events.C. By reporting experiment results.D. By giving common examples.24. What is schema?A. An organized package of information that makes sense to people.B. Relevant information showing your understanding of the world.C. Pieces of information about the event you can remember.D. The most important events associated with each other.25. Bartlett believed that ___________ .A. earlier experience would affect what people recalledB. memory was more complex than what schema theory supportedC. conflict existed in people's knowledge of the worldD. people tended to make information acceptable26. What is the passage mainly about?A. What helps regain memory.B. How memory is reconstructed.C. What the real elements of memory are.D. How schema theory influences memory.CAmerica’s businesses are getting older and fatter, while many new businesses are dying in infancy.A study last month by the Brookings Institution found that the proportion of older firms has grown steadily over several decades, while the survival rate of new companies has fallen. In addition, young people are starting companies at a sharply lower rate than in the past.A new report from the National Association of Manufacturers shows a major cause: The cost of obeying government regulations has risen to more than $2 trillion (12.26 trillion yuan) annually, or 12 percent of the GDP, and this cost falls disproportionately on smaller, newer businesses.It’s risky, difficult and expensive to start a business, and getting more so. Governments are imposing various new rules on a seemingly daily basis: health insurance, minimum wage increases and, most recently in California, compulsory paid sick days for even hourly employees. These regulations shift huge social welfare costs directly onto often-struggling small businesses, while being proportionally much less costly for larger companies.This is partly an unintended issue of resources—established companies can cope with new costs more easily—but it’s also deliberate. For instance, big insurance companies got a seat at the table to help write Obamacare, but less politically powerful firms—like medical device manufacturers—got squeezed.Mature, successful corporations can employ ex-lawmakers with connections, distribute campaign contributions and even write regulations for themselves. They are also more likely to want to protect steady revenue streams than revolutionize their industry.Major companies that have been so ill-managed they would otherwise collapse—airlines, car companies and banks—stagger（蹒跚）on because politicians ride to the rescue with bags of taxpayer money.The genius of our unique system of government is the determination to protect and defendthe rights of the individual over the rights of the nation. As such, the rise of a well-connected oligarchy（寡头政治）that protects big business at the expense of small business, and the established over the new, is opposite to American ideals.Income inequality—which is directly caused by faulty government policy—is being promoted as the reason to impose more of that bad policy. But let’s be perfectly clear, we do not have a free market but one where government picks winners and losers through regulations and financial aids.Politics is, and always has been, about balancing competing interests seeking to benefit themselves, and that’s as it should be, but the force of gover nment should never be used to reduce competition, kill innovation or support and extend artificial monopolies（垄断）by harming the consumer, the taxpayer and the economy. Policy must breed our new and small businesses or see the as-yet undreamed of innovations that could be our bright future die in infancy.27. We can learn from the passage that ______________.A. over several decades, new companies have grown steadilyB. The cost of obeying government regulations falls equally on all businessesC. less politically powerful firms also have their voice in making regulationsD. mature, successful corporations prefer to maintain their stable incomes28. We can infer from the last three paragraphs that ____________.A. the rise of a well-connected oligarchy is contrary to American idealsB. the state economy may depends on those innovative businessesC. income inequality is what the government should take action to resolveD. the government picks winners and losers through the law of free market29. It can be concluded from the passage that _______________A. Larger and older firms have a command of resources of various aspectsB. most of the ex-lawmakers work in mature, successful corporationsC. politicians like providing financial aids to the companies of worse operationD. big insurance companies have better relationship with Obama30. As to the development of smaller businesses, the writer is _______________A. contentedB. confidentC. concernedD. convincedDRosemary sat at her kitchen table, working a crossword puzzle. Crosswords were nice; they filled the time, and kept the mind active. She needed just one word to complete this morning’s puzzle; the clue was “a Swiss river,” and the first of its three letters was “A”. Unfortunately, Rosemary had no idea what the name of river was, and could not look it up. Her atlas was on her desk, and the desk was in the guest room, currently being occupied by her grandson Victor.Looking up over the tops of her glasses, Rosemary glanced at the kitchen clock: it was almost 10 a.m. Land sakes! Did the boy intend to sleep all day? She noticed the pain in her wrist again, and put down her pen. Anyhow, at 87 years of age, she was glad she could still write at all. She had decided long ago that growing old was like slowl y turning to stone; you couldn’t take anything for granted. She stood up slowly, painfully, and started walking to the guest room.The trip, though only a distance of about 25 feet, seemed to take a long while. Rosemary arrived at the door to the guest room. It stood slightly open, and she looked through the opening. Victor lay sleeping on his side, his arms bent, his expression slightly pained. Get up, lazy bones, she wanted to say. Even in childhood, Rosemary had never slept past 4 a.m.; there were too many chores to do. How different things were for Victor’s generation! Her youngest grandson behaved as if he had never done a chore in his life. Twenty-one years old, he had driven down to Florida to visit Rosemary in his shiny new car, a gift from his dear parents. Victor would finish college soon, and his future appeared bright — if he ever got out of bed, that is.Something Victor had said last night over dinner had disturbed her. Now what was it? Oh yes; he had been talking about one of his college courses —a “gut”, he had called it. When she had asked him to explain the word, Victor had said it was a course that you took simply because it was easy to pass. Rosemary, who had not even had a high school education, found the word unpleasant. If she had been allowed to continue her studies, she would never have taken a “gut” ...The memory flooded back then, still painful as an open wound all these years later. It was the first day of high school. She had graduated from grammar school the previous year, but her father had forbidden her to go to high school that autumn, saying she was needed on the farm. After much tearful begging, she had gotten him to promise that next year, she could start high school. She had endured a whole year of chores instead of books, with animals and rough farmhands for company instead of people of her own age. Now, at last, the glorious day was at hand. She had put on her best dress (she owned two), her heart racing hopefully.But her father was waiting for her as she came downstairs.“Where do you think you’re going?” he asked.“To high school, Papa.”“No you’re not. Take that thing off and get back to work. ”“But Papa, you promised!”“Do as I say!” he thundered.There was no arguing with Papa when he spoke that way. Tearfully, she had to drag herself upstairs to change clothes. Rosemary still wondered what her life would have been like if her father had not been waiting at the bottom of the stairs that day, or if somehow she had found the strength to disobey him..Suddenly, Victor moved slightly, without waking, and whispered something unintelligible. Waken from her daydreaming, Rosemary stared at Victor. She wondered if he were having a nightmare.31. From the second paragraph we know that Rosemary felt it __________ to be getting older.A. acceptableB. terribleC. unbearableD. enjoyable32. By saying “if he ever got out of bed” (Para. 3) Rosemary thought Victor was __________.A. too tired to get upB. promising but lazyC. impolite to oversleepD. old enough to help with chores33.Why did Rosemary dislike Victor’s use of the word “gut”？A. Because it showed that Victor didn’t take education seriously.B. Because it reminded Rosemary of her grammar school classes.C. Because it indicated that college courses were too easy to pass.D. Because it implied that Rosemary was lacking in high school education.34. The year after Rosemary graduated from grammar school was ___________.A. used for reading and writing.B. ruined by illness and hardship.C. filled with travel and adventure.D. spent entirely away from her fellows.35. The passage as a whole is mainly about___________.A. Rosemary’s concern for Victor’s study.B. Rosemary’s struggle to keep painful memories.C. whether Rosemary will go up to wake Victor up.D. whether Rosemary should fight for her schooling opportunity.三、任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分；满分10分）Born to WinEach human being is born as something unique, something that never existed before. Each person is born with what he needs to win at life. A normal person can see, hear, touch, taste, and think for himself. Each has his own unique potentials---his capabilities and limitations. Each can be an important, thinking, aware, and creatively productive person in his own right---a winner.The words "winner" and "loser" have many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean one who defeats the other person by dominating and making him lose. Instead a winner is one who responds honestly by being trustworthy and responsive, both as an individual and as a member of a society. A loser is one who fails to respond honestly.A winner is not afraid to do his own thinking and to use his own knowledge. He can separate facts from opinion and doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. He listens to others, evaluates what they say, but comes to his own conclusions.A winner is flexible. He does not have to respond in known, rigid ways. He can change his plans when the situation calls for it. A winner has a love for life. He enjoys work, play, food, other people, and the world of nature. Without guilt he enjoys his own accomplishments. Without envy he enjoys the accomplishments of others.A winner cares about the world and its people. He is not separated from the general problems of society. He tries to improve the quality of life. Even in the face of national and international difficulty, he does not see himself as helpless. He does what he can to make the world a better place.Although people are born to win, they are also born totally dependent on their environment. Winners successfully make the change from dependence to independence, losers do not. Somewhere along the line losers begin to avoid becoming independent. This usually begins in childhood. Poor nutrition, cruelty, unhappy relationships, disease, continuing disappointments, and inadequate physical care are among the many experiences that contribute to making people losers.A loser is held back by his low capacity to appropriately express himself through a full range of possible behavior. He may be unaware of other choices for his life if the path he chooses goes nowhere. He is afraid to try new things. He repeats not only his own mistakes and often repeatsthose of his family and culture.A loser has difficulty giving and receiving love. He does not enter into close, honest, direct relationships with others. Instead, he tries to manipulate them into living up to his expectations and channels his energies into living up to their expectations.Born to winEach human being is born to be a winner. Each person has his own 1. _________ qualities to be a winner.

The newattraction is only minutes away from the Columbia Icefield Glacier Discovery Center, and is already expected to become a new Canadian landmark. The bold concept of walking amid a glacier may seem unrealistic, but a glass corridor extending from the glacier’s cliff will make the experience a reality.The glass corridor will function as a fully accessible walkway leading to a glass-flooredobservation platform 280 meters (918 ft) above the Sunwapta Valley, and will allow visitors to witness the powers of glaciology. From ice-capped mountain peaks to vast glacier-formed valleys, the Glacier Skywalk will provide visitors with a front row seat to some of nature’s most grandeur beauty.The project will not only become an innovative travel spot, but will also be seen as anengineering miracle. Its main purpose will be to provide visitors with a brand-new viewing experience, in which one can go beyond nature’s edge and immerse themselves in an awe-inspiring trip in one o f the world’s most unique ecosystems.Remember to breathe“Remember to breathe” is the slogan of Travel Alberta’s global promotional campaign.Royce Chwin, one of the developers of the project and the Chief Marketing Officer of Travel Alberta, elaborated o n the idea in depth at the press conference. “Remember to breathe” is a key statement which serves as a reminder to stop, take a moment, refill your energy, remember to slow down, take in your surroundings, take it all in and to drink in the unique personal experience that you create.”For city dwellers who have a hectic life schedule for almost 365 days a year, this idea servesespecially as a reminder that life resides in every breath that is inhaled and exhaled, so people should never forget to slow down and enjoy every moment.China: essential outbound tourism marketAs more Chinese travelers embark on foreign trips, many Western countries are wooingChinese tourists, and Alberta is no exception. “China is extremely important to Canada, we have seen a double-digit 18% growth of Chinese visitors year after year, which is the world’s largest outbound tourism market for Alberta,” said Chwin.One advantage adding to Canada’s appeal for Chinese tourists is the Approved DestinationStatus, a 10-year multiple-entry visa which Chinese travelers can apply for to make their travel much smoother. With more than 82 connecting flights a week between the two countries, traveling to Canada has never been easier.16. Which of the following about Glacier Skywalk is true?A. It is promoted by a tourism organization from Beijing.B. It has no chance to become a new Canadian landmark.C. It is mainly designed to let visitors have a brand-new experience.D. It is far away from the Columbia Icefield Glacier Discovery Center.17. The slogan of travel Alberta’s global promotional campaign “Remember to breathe” is used to________.A. warn tourists of the danger thereB. describe the beauty of Glacier SkywalkC. indicate the excitement of walking through a glacierD. remind people to slow down and enjoy every momentBPopcorn at the MoviesAdvertising uses repetition to increase consumers’ preference for brands. Particularly fornovel brands, much exposure and repetition is necessary to establish the brand name in the first place. Do you still remember your feeling when you see or hear the names YAHOO or GOOGLE for the first time? Now they are imprinted in your brain. Basic psychological research has already shown that repeatedly perceived(感知) information is easier to be remembered for the brain process.Recent research has shown that repetition effects actually are originally caused from themouth. Each time we come across a person’s or product name, the lips and the tongue automatically simulate(模仿) the pronunciation of that name. This happens without our awareness and without actual mouth movements. During inner speech, the brain attempts to say the novel name. When names are presented repeatedly, this simulation happens repeatedly. However, if this inner speech is disturbed, for instance during chewing gum or whispering another word, the repetition effect vanishes.An interesting experiment was conducted in movie theaters. 96 participants were invited to areal movie theater and were presented a block of commercials and a movie later on. Half of the participants received popcorn to eat. For them, the mouth was occupied with chewing the popcorn so the mouth muscles could not engage in inner speech when watching the ads for the novel brands. The other half of the participants only received a small sugar cube, which dissolved quickly in their mouth so that the mouth muscles were free to simulate the pronunciation of the brand names. The participants were invited to the lab one week after the cinema session. They were presented with images of products. Half of these products had been advertised in the cinema session; the other half were completely novel products. Participants were asked to indicate the products that they liked, and their physiological (生理的) responses were measured. Those participants who had only received a sugar cube proved that there was a clear advertising effect. They preferred advertised novel products and also showed positive physiological responses of familiarity for advertised products. However, those participants who had eaten popcorn while watching the commercials one week before showed no such advertising effect.18. Why does the author mention Yahoo and Google in Paragraph One?A. To remind readers of brand names.B. To prove the influence of repetition.C. To compare the effects of two brands.D. To draw readers’ attention to the research.19. What does the underlined word “vanish” probably mean?A. Disappear.B. Improve.C. Reduce.D. Occur.20. One week after the cinema session, the participants who ate sugar cube ________.A. held positive attitude toward moviesB. showed preference for advertisementsC. tended to choose the advertised productsD. felt familiar with the commercials and the movies21. Where is the passage likely to have been taken from?A. A psychological report.B. An entertainment website.C. A commercial advertisement.D. A popular science magazine.CIs this happening in your neighborhood? Children, notebook computers stuck under theirarms, await the yellow bus for the trip to middle school. On the surface, the question of computers in schools is a no-brainer. It would be strange to insist that today’s technology shouldn’t be used to make the classroom experience more individualized, more effective, more immediate, more exciting. Computers have been in schools more than 20 years—and probably even done some good.But the idea of a personal computer as a necessary daily tool for every American grammarschool pupil is altogether a different thing. Be aware of the seemingly attractive vision of 10-year-olds doing most of their work—and homework—on a computer. It is another illusory silver bullet that promises to solve all of society’s ills through technology. Regardless of whether parents or taxpayers buy the machinery, it’s ba d policy.Determining the proper role of computers in schools is too important to be left to computersuppliers and educators. An educated public with clear and realistic expectations needs to help determine the right track for technology.Educators forever seem to seek the ultimate in teaching tools. They are always preoccupiedwith innovation—junior high school, new math, whole language, open classrooms, and mastery learning, to name a few. Some ideas turned out well and over time have earned permanent po sitions in our education systems. Other reflected change for changes’ sake and wound up in the trash bin, where they belong.Exactly what is to be solved with computers in schools? Are we looking to improveinstructional capacity and flexibility? Are we trying to make teachers and aids more productive by letting students take advantage of programmed learning tools? This all sounds good, and much has been accomplished with computer-assisted instruction.But that’s not the same as making the computer a symbol of well-tempered educational policy.There’s danger in the message that a child is not fully educated if he or she can’t surf the World Wide Web skillfully, move around in Windows or the Founder, use a word processing program, or program in Logo or Basic.These skills can be learned outside the classroom. Worse, the time it takes students to acquirethem is time stolen from the teaching schedule—and that’s a bad trade.And what kind of computers should be purchased? We’re not talking brand names. Mostscho ol systems don’t have the money to replace PCs or Macs on the two-to-three-year cycle that shifting technologies demand. On the other hand, $2500—the cost of just one computer—invested in books for the school library produces wealth that has, shall we say, a longer shelf life.And who changes the factory culture of schoolrooms to allow computers to be more effective?And who teaches the teachers? These are the really tough issues—the ones that more hardware won’t solve.Children are best served when schools contribute to shaping the solid foundations on whichtheir future will be built. The student who can read with curiosity and understanding, who has mastered basic mathematical concepts, who can evaluate ideas critically, is the one schools should aim to produce.22. A “no-brainer” in the third sentence of the first paragraph probably means ________.A. something that is taken for grantedB. an idea that is brainless and foolishC. a proposal that is not worthy of serious considerationD. a machine that can never take the place of human brain23. According to the author, teaching computer in the school classroom is bad practice because________.A. the computer is too expensive a luxury for school pupilsB. the pupils are not intelligently mature enough to master the skillsC. it takes too much time which might have been spent on regular coursesD. the pupils can learn nothing from computer-assisted instruction24. In the last paragraph the author implies that ________.A. computer skills contribute nothing to a proper educationB. computer teaching is an essential part of an educationC. the fundamental purpose of an education is being ignoredD. teachers should be taught how to teach computer skillsDThe First HelloThe man from the telephone department got off the bus, and made his way to the teastall, wiping the sweat off his head, face, then slipping his handkerchief under his shirt to wipe his neck and back. It was a year ago that the phone line had been installed, six months later men from the public works department had come to put up the phone booth—a neat box-like structure, with a glass window, and wooden ledges, yellow in colour. And days after that, a painter had taken an entire day to colour in broad, black brushstrokes, the words: STD Booth, local and STD allowded.No one could tell that the last word had been misspelled. Besides, he had taken theentire day. After he had a cup of tea, he left, waving cheerfully. And now months later, someone else was here again.Everyone watched the man as he sat on the bench. No one said a word, and soon thesound of him slurping his tea filled the hot afternoon. A few leaves fell, heavy in the heat, and sometimes a car passed, on its way to the main city farther away.When the man had finished, he tried to pay but the tea shop owner who sat behind hissteaming kettle and the washed upturned cups, waved him away.“You are our guest here.”So the man took his handkerchief out again and wiped his face.They crowded around him as he shut himself up in the phone booth. When the childrenpressed their nose against the glass, he shooed them away, as he took out a shiny black instrument and placed it on the narrow shelf. A sigh of satisfaction passed through everyone that soon changed to an excited yell as they saw him dial a number, pressing a finger into the ringed dialer of the phone and letting it go all the way in a half-circle. A while later, they hear him say into the mouthpiece, “Hello.”“Hello,” the children around the booth took up the cry, the teashop owner broke into asmile and the men waiting for a bus smiled and said hello to each other. The sadhu(印度的僧人) who sat under the banyan tree nodded wisely. As the sound carried, more hellos were heard. The women winnowing grain giggled as they tried the word tentatively, the shepherds feeding their flocks called out to their sheep, laughing as they used the word.“It’s a big occasion,” said the headman, in an awed(敬畏的) voice.“It is.” agreed those around him. The telephone man emerged and handed over a smallchit of paper to the headman. “This is the telephone number.”The headman looked at it respectfully as if it were a mantra(符咒). The others aroundhim read out the numbers slowly, digit-by-digit.The telephone man was now too tired to notice the cheering around him. He knew hehad to wait long before the bus to take him back arrived. As he sipped his second cup of tea, he remembered something else.“Oh, you can’t start using the phone now. The minister will come next month andinaugurate it.”No one said a word. No one was surprised. They had waited so long; a month more didnot really matter.25. In the story, fitting a working telephone booth __________.A. was a process that had already taken 12 monthsB. was in the charge of the headmanC. was finished more than a year agoD. was an artistic challenge for a local painter26.

Police and the FBI are investigating a possible lead into the 33-year-old case of Etan Patz, the first missing child to appear on the side of a milk box.The child disappeared on the way to school on the morning of May 25, 1979. It was the first time he was allowed to walk the two blocks to the bus stop alone.A tip seemed to have led officials to the basement of a building on the corner of Prince and Wooster streets, about a block and a half from where Etan had lived with his family.The name Etan Patz has become a hot topic on Twitter as people weigh in on the case. Shirley Brady noted: “As mom to a 6 years old in Soho, it’s still held out by locals as cautionary tale (警示故事).” Another wrote, “Boy who disappeared on his way to school in 1979 has b een REOPENED! Crazy.” One wondered, “Why is FBI and NYPD searching for a kid that disappeared in 1979?”Good question. This is a case that Stu art Gra Bois, as an assistant U.S. lawyer under Rudolph Giuliani, followed for years. It became the most famous missing-person case in New York City,turned a nationwide spotlight on missing children, and created headlines around the globe. No one was ever stated guilty of the crime.The case led to the creation of National Missing Children’s Day, marked on May 25, t he day the blond-haired, blue-eyed child went missing.The case has even pointed to a suspect, charged with child molester (猥亵者) Julio Antonio Ramos, who is currently in prison. Patz’s babysitter had been dating the man, and Ramos did know the kid, but has denied taking him away.New evidence in the case suggests another suspect who lived in the apartment at the time: a local handyman named Othniel Miller, who gave Etan $1 for helping him the night before the disappearance.The man’s name had come up in an earlier investigation, but he was a friend of the Patz family, and the NYPD did not follow the lead.Investigators plan to be at the site, 127 B Prince St., which is now a Lucky Brand jeans store, for the next two to three days to search for human remains. The Associated Press reports that the excavation (挖掘) has been the result of a recently ordered review of the case by Manhattan’s police.16. What does the underlined phrase “weigh in on the case” mean?A. ignore the caseB. feel stressed on the caseC. reopen the caseD. begin to discuss the case17. Which of the following statements is true in the text?A. The National Missing Children’s Day was created on May 25,1979.B. The search for human remains will be carried out at 127. B. Prince Street.C. The NYPD didn’t follow the lead of Julio Antonio for he had been dating Patz’babysitter.D. Othniel Miller, a local handyman assisted Etan and gave him﹩1 before the disappearance.18. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. People air the same view about the case on the InternetB. People reject the reopening of the case of the missing boyC. The missing-person case still has a long-lasting influence on peopleD. Twitter is the only place for people to discuss about missing-person casesBSeptember can be a depressing month. The summer holidays are over, it’s time to go back to work or school and Christmas is four months away. However, for some people it’s the perfect time to get away.These days more and more people are taking their holidays late in the year and for good reasons. Holidays in autumn can be cheaper, the resorts are less crowded and the weather isn’t as extreme as it is in the summer. So, where are the best places to go? Here are our top tips.Sardinia (in Italy) has an average temperature of 27℃in September. It also has “Autunno in Barbagia” (Autumn in Barbagia) a series of festivals that take place in 27 villages in Barbagia, a mountainous region of inland Sardinia. The festivals continue from September to December, so there’s always something happening. There are street markets, craft workshops and there’s lots of eating and drinking (This is Italy, after all).Dubrovnik Croatia has become very popular in summer but it’s quiet er and more pleasant once the crowds have left. The weather is still warm but less humid. You can take a ferry to the popular beaches on the islands of Sunj and enjoy it with locals.Dahab Egypt, is very hot in the summer with temperatures up to 38℃. However, the autumn is cooler while the sea is still warm. This makes Dahab the perfect place for snorkeling and windsurfing. There are also interesting historical sites to visit such as the Coloured Canyon, with its dramatic rock formations, and St Catherine’s Monastery, at the foot of Mo unt Sinai.Kas is a relaxed fishing village on the Lycian coast in southern Turkey. There are plenty of things to do and the temperature has dropped (so you can actually enjoy doing them!) Kas is a good place to stay if you want to walk part of the Lycian way: a long-distance footpath that stretches for 500km from Fethiye to Antalya through the ancient land of Lycia. There are also watersports, of course. The best time to go diving is supposed to be after the first rains of autumn (usually between late September and early October) when the fish become most active.Marrakech Morocco is another good destination. The city itself is a fascinating place to spend a few days. When you have had enough of that, go to Tigmi, a beautiful hill town about 20 kilometers away. There’s a hammam (a Turkish bath) and a large heated pool, which makes it the perfect place to relax.Wherever you go this autumn – have fun!19. Here are the good reasons for people to take holidays in autumn except that _______.A. Holidays in autumn can be cheaperB. the scenery in autumn is more attractiveC. the resorts in autumn are less crowdedD. The weather is neither too hot nor too cold20. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that _______________.A. visitors can take part in a series of festivals in October in BarbagiaB. Barbagia in Egypt is surrounded by mountainsC. the festivals continue from September to NovemberD. the temperature in Sardinia in September is always below 27℃21. Which of the following places may not be close to sea?A. DubrovnikB. DahabC. KasD. MarrakechCAs anyone who has tried to lose weight knows, realistic goal-setting generally produces the best results. That’s partly because most people who set realistic goals actually work more efficiently, and put more effort, to achieve those goals.What’s far les s understood by scientists, however, are the potentially harmful effects of goal-setting. Newspapers convey daily accounts of goal-setting widespread in industries and businesses up and down both Wall Street and Main Street, yet there has been surprisingly little research on how the long-advocated practice of setting goals may have contributed to the current economic crisis, and immoral behavior in general.“Goals are widely used and promoted as having really beneficial effects. And yet, the same motivation that can push people to put more effort in a constructive way could also motivate people to be more likely to engage in immoral behaviors,” says Maurice Schweitzer, an associate professor at Penn’s Wharton School.His paper, titled “Goals Gone Wild: The S ystematic Side Effects of Over-Praised Goal Setting,” appears in the February issue of the Academy of Management Perspectives.“It turns out there’s no financial benefit to just having a goal---you just get a psychological benefit” Schweitzer says. “But in many cases, goals have financial rewards that make them more powerful.”A major example Schweitzer and his colleagues give is the 2004 breakdown of energy-trading giant Enron( 德国安然公司), where managers used financial rewards to motivate salesmen to meet specific goals. The problem, Schweitzer says, is that the actual trades were not profitable.Other studies have shown that burdening employees with unrealistic goals can force them to lie, cheat or steal. Such was the case in the early 1990s when Sears（西尔斯公司）placed a sales quota (销售限额) on its auto repair staff. It inspired employees to overcharge for work and tocomplete unnecessary repairs on a companywide basis.Schweitzer admits his research runs counter to a very large body of literature that praises the many benefits of goal-setting. Advocates of the practice have argued with his team’s use of such evidence as news accounts to support his conclusion that goal-setting is widely over-praised.In a rebuttal (反驳) paper, Dr. Edwin Locke writes: “Goal-setting is not going away. Organizations cannot grow without being focused on their desired end results any more than an individual can grow without goals to provide a sense of purpose.”But Schweitzer argues the “evidence” linking goal-setting and harmful behavior should be studied to help draw attention to issues that deserve attention and further investigation. “Even a few negative effects could be so large that they outweigh many positive effects,” he says.The debate is likely to get heated on in future papers, and the practice of setting goals no doubt will continue. For now, though, the lesson seems to be put more thought into setting goals.“Goal-setting does help motivate people. My idea would be to combine that with careful management, a strong organizational culture, and make sure the goals that you use are going to be constructive and not significantly harmful to the organization,” Schweitzer says.22. What does Maurice Schweitzer want to show by mentioning the example of Enron?A. Setting realistic goals can turn a failing business into success.B. Businesses are likely to succeed without realistic goals.C. Companies are certain to meet specific goals with financial rewards.D. Goals with financial rewards have strong motivational power.23. The underlin ed words “runs counter to” (Paragraph 7) can be replaced by ________.A. agrees withB. goes againstC. fits in withD. applies to24. According to the passage, the author tries to convey ___________.A. the goals that most people set are unrealisticB. all people can improve their work quality by setting goalsC. setting goals can provide people with a sense of purposeD. people should not ignore the negative effects of goal-settingDI lost everything. That is, I’d either lose or destroy it. Jewelry. Dolls. Games. Whatever madeits way into my hands I chewed on or destroyed beyond recognition. I ate paper, and once consumed an entire book. Poor Curious George didn’t stay curious for long around me. He was eaten. Mom and Dad called me “instant disaster”. And because I was so messy, they always sat me at the dinner table next to the guests they weren’t planning to invite back.One day in the second grade, I walked home from school, and my surprised mother looked at me a s I walked through the front door. “Carol,” she asked calmly but with a confused look on her face, “Where’s your coat?” I looked down and saw my broken leather shoes, worn-out pants, and white (but dirty) cotton shirt. Until my mother pointed out that I wa sn’t fully dressed, I hadn’t noticed. I was just as surprised as she was, for we both remembered that I had been wearing the coat that morning. My mother and I walked across the street to the school, looked on the sidewalks and all over the playground and in the halls, but in vain.The following winter my mother and father bought me a fur brown coat with a matching hat.I loved my new coat and hat and felt like a big girl. I promised that I would be careful and not lose the hat.One day my father came home from work and called me downstairs from my room. He bent down to my size and hugged me, and he asked me if I would try on my new coat and hat and model them for him. Upstairs I rushed, two steps at a time, excited to put on a fashion show for my father. I threw on the coat, but I couldn’t find the hat. I nervously looked under my bed and in the closet, but it was nowhere. Maybe he wouldn’t notice that I wasn’t wearing it.I flew downstairs and twirled(旋转) around as if on a runway, posing and smiling, modeling my new coat for my father who was paying attention to me and telling me how pretty I looked. Then he said he wanted me to model the hat, too. “No, Daddy, I just want to show you the coat. Just look at the c oat on me!” I said, still dancing around the hallway and trying to avoid the subject of the missing hat. I knew that the hat was history. He was giggling, and I thought I was admirable and loved because he was laughing and playing with me. We went around a couple times about the hat, and in the middle of his laugh, he slapped me. He slapped me hard on the face, and I didn’t understand why. At the sharp sound of his hand on my face, my mother shouted, “Mike! What are you doing! What are you doing!” She was breathless and stunned. His anger hurt both my mother and me. I just stood there holding my hand to my burning cheek, crying. And then he took my new hat out of his coat pocket. He had found it lying in the street, and as he looked atme over the top of his glasses, he said, “Maybe now you will learn not to be careless and lose things.”I am a grown woman now, and I still lose things. I am still careless. But what my father taught me that day was not a lesson of responsibility. I learned not to trust his laughter. Because even his laughter hurt.25. W hy did the writer’s parents call her “instant disaster”?A. Because she was naughty and looked very ugly.B. Because she often destroyed things on purpose.C. Because her behavior was extremely abnormal.D. Because she was destructive and made a mess.26.

(AP) – A book that tells the story of security guard who shot a wounded man, who controlled a Florida school board with a gun, has been released. “Salvaged Santa” was written by Mike Jones with co-authors David Angier and Greg Wilson. Angier says they wanted to tell the series of events that led Jones to be in the Bay County school board building on the afternoon of Dec. 14, 2010. Jones shot gunman Clay A. Duke in the leg as he held a gun on the five-member panel(专门小组). Duke then fatally shot himself. Jones is the head of security for the school district. He also founded a charity called Salvage Santa.The Panama City News Herald reports that Jones has a series of book signings planned.Prince William, Kate Named as Olympic AmbassadorsLONDON (AP) – Royal officials say Prince William, his new wife Kate and brother Prince Harrywill be official ambassadors to the 2012 London Olympic Games.St. James’s Palace said Thursday that all t hree will play an active role in encouraging and inspiring the British public to come together and support the Olympic and Paralympic athletes. The royals join 27 British Olympians from previous games who were announced as 2012 ambassadors by the British Olympic Association earlier this year.In a message released by the palace, William says his entire family are looking forward to the games.The London Olympics begin July 27 and end Aug. 12.Swap(交易)Deals Only Provide Temporary Relief-Bank’s KingLONDON (Reuters) – Coordinated central bank action to provide cheaper dollar funding for starved European banks is a step forward but only provides temporary relief, Bank of England governor Mervyn King said on Thursday.The central banks of the United States, euro zone, Japan, Canada, Britain and Switzerland announced measures on Wednesday to provide liquidity(资产流动性)to the financial system.“I think it has the benefit of demonstrating that central banks can and do work together… this generalised network of swap a greements, I think is a step forward and will help,” King told a news conference.“But let me stress, this cannot be a solution to the crisis, all this can do, is to help temporarily relieve liquidity problems. But liquidity problems, often, reflect underlying solvency(根本还清债务) problems and in this case they do.”21. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Duke was shot to death by Jones.B. “Salvage Santa” was written by three authors.C. Jones shot Duke while attending the board meeting.D. A series of books written by Jones have been released.22.

According to King, coordinated central bank providing cheaper dollar funding for starvedEuropean banks ______.A. can be a solution to the crisisB. is to help relieve liquidity problems permanentlyC. has the benefit of saving current financial systemD. can only be a temporary step to relieve liquidity problemsBGrasshoppers are having to change their song — one of the iconic sounds of summer — to make themselves heard above the noise of road traffic, ecologists have discovered. The study, published in the British Ecological Society's journal Functional Ecology, is the first to show that human-made noise affects natural insect populations. Animals use sound to communicate for many reasons, including marking out territory, warning of predators and finding mates, and although previous research shows birds, whales and even frogs change their calls in noisy environments, the impact of human-made noise on insects has been neglected until now. Ulrike Lampe and colleagues from the University of Bielefeld in Germany caught 188 male bow-winged grasshoppers, half from quiet locations and half from beside busy roads. The grasshoppers use their song to attract mates.The team then studied the differences in the two groups' songs in the laboratory. To encourage them to sing they exposed the males to a female grasshopper, and then recorded their courtship songs. Analysis of almost 1,000 recordings revealed grasshoppers living beside noisy roads produced different songs to those living in quieter locations.According to Lampe: "Bow-winged grasshoppers produce songs that include low and high frequency components. We found that grasshoppers from noisy habitats increase the volume of the lower-frequency part of their song, which makes sense since road noise can mask signals in this part of the frequency spectrum(频谱)."The team's findings are important because traffic noise could be upsetting the grasshopper's mating system(交配系统). "Increased noise levels could affect grasshopper courtship in several ways. It could prevent females from hearing male courtship songs properly, prevent females from recognising males of their own species, or impair females' ability to estimate how attractive a male is from his song," Lampe explains.Having discovered that human-made noise affects insect communication, the researchers now want to learn more about how the mechanism works, and whether the grasshoppers adapt to noise during their development as larvae（幼虫）, or whether males from noisy habitats produce different songs due to genetic differences.The bow-winged grasshopper is a common species in Central Europe. Adults occur mainly between July and September, preferring dry grasslands. Around 1.5 cm long, they vary in colour from green and browns to red and purple. The male's song consists of 2 second-long phrases that increase in amplitude (振幅) towards the end. The beginning of a phrase is characterised by slower ticking sounds that increase in speed and amplitude, leading to a buzzing sound towards the end of the phrase. A courtship(求爱) song usually includes 2 phrases.25. The author wrote the article to _________________.A. introduce how grasshoppers make noises to attract mates.B. raise the awareness of protecting bow-winged grasshoppers.C. inform us of a recent discovery of ecological research.D. warn us that human-made noise has changed ecological system.26. Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?A. Bow-winged grasshoppers use their songs to communicate.B. Grasshoppers change their songs to adapt to the noisy environment.C. Grasshoppers’ songs include both low and high frequency components.D. Bow-winged grasshoppers are a common species in Central Europe.27. What does the underlined word “impair” in the fourth paragraph mean?A. repairB. developC. weakenD. improve28. Which of the following statements is true according the passage?A. Road noise can cover the lower-frequency part of their song.B. Animals make sounds only for the purpose of finding mates.C. Grasshopper larvae learn to adapt to human-made noise.D. Bow-winged grasshoppers grow up into adults in spring.CFake drugs may contain harmful ingredients or no active ingredient at all. A global treaty (条约) to put down on the deadly trade of them is urgently needed, say experts.Currently, there are more penalties around the use of illegal tobacco than fake drugs. Writing in the British Medical Journal, experts urge the World Health Organization to set up a framework similar to that on tobacco control to safeguard the public.WHO says more than one in every 10 drug products in poorer nations are fake. In richer countries, medicine safety is better, but substandard (不合标准的) drugs still cause thousands of unfavorable reactions and some deaths.According to the survey, while governments and drug companies both condemn unsafe medicine, it is difficult to achieve agreement on action because discussions too often become conflicts such as medicine pricing or intellectual property rights.Although some countries prohibit fake medicines under national law, there is no global treaty which means organized criminals can continue to trade using countries where laws are loose or absent, which also means governments can’t cooperate internationally.Similarly, a new agreement under the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control requires tobacco products to be tracked and criminalizes (宣告……为犯法行为) illegal trade globally —“oddly making the law tougher on cigarette falsification（造假）than on medicine falsification”, says an expert Amir Attaran.The agreement will now make it a requirement to track and trace tobacco products. Cigarette packets can carry serial numbers so it is possible to track them from beginning to end.Amir Attaran continued,“If this is something you can do for a $5 cigarette packet, I do not see why we can’t do it for a $3,000 packet of drugs that could save your life. In Canada we have seen a fake version of the heart drug Avastin come into the country that contains no active drug, just starch(淀粉) and nail polish remover. When you are dealing with a medicine like that if there was a serial number on it you would be able to easily see if it was fake.”WHO says it provides direct country and regional support for strengthening medicinesregulation.And it is up to its 194 member states to decide if a treaty is the way forward.In 2011, a directive to protect patients from fake medicines was approved by the European Parliament.29. What is the main topic of the article?A. It’s urgent to set up a global treaty to put down on the deadly trade of fake drugs.B. WHO has done little to make a regulation on medicine falsification.C. People have been accustomed to fake tobacco.D. An agreement will be reached to make it a requirement to track and trace medicines.30. With the help of serial numbers, people can .A. take advantage of lack of strict regulationsB. avoid international tradeC. track down the origin of medicinesD. find out the ingredients of medicines31. What does the author imply in the passage?A. In richer countries, medicine safety is better than that in poorer countries.B. A law against illegal trade on fake medicines has come into effect since 2011 in Europe.C. Whether a treaty is the way forward depends on the 194 countries in WHO.D. It’s abnormal that more attention is paid to cigarette falsification than that of medicine.DKimberly Gervaise, a stay-at-home mother of three in Little Silver, N.J., joined Facebook five years ago and only posts every couple of months, mostly sharing photos from special events, like birthdays. She has 393 friends, and wishes some of them would tuck( 藏入) it in a bit. “I get a little annoyed about people who feel the need to post a picture of a straight-A report card – and there are many,” she says. “I am sure that most of the time, they are just proud, but I find it annoying.”Gervaise says more and more mothers are using Facebook as a platform to boast about their lives, their kids, their parenting techniques. And that’s making it harder and harder for moms like her to log on(登录) without getting slapped in the face.Bragging about your kids is nothing new, but before Facebook, the Compare & Contrast game was mostly played at the playground or the preschool parking lot.Now it’s going on all day, every day, in a vast electronic sandbox. Facebook moms are constantly bombarded (大肆抨击) with updates ab out their friends’ kids and their accomplishments. Daily, hourly even. According to Edison Research’s Moms and Media 2013 report, 57% of moms on Facebook are over 35 – these women are the first generation to have raised their children entirely in the Facebook era. They started out single, gossiping and posting party photos and flirting, and now they're changing diapers, worrying about peanut allergies and diligently navigating the sometimes treacherous mommy waters. And if they’re active on Facebook, they’r e learning in front of a huge, rapt audience.The great time-killer is now a massive ego-killer(自负的杀手), and even a mommy-blogger with a huge following feels vulnerable. “Facebook makes me feel bad,” says Glennon Doyle Melton, who had a New York Times best-seller with Carry On, Warrior. “No matter how satisfied I am with my life, career, family, social life, house, etc., as soon as I log on to Facebook and peek into others' lives, I immediately feel that unease caused by comparison. … A little kernel of doub t settles into my gut, and it feels really bad.”This onslaught is turning many women off. “One thing that drove me crazy when my son was younger was moms posting about how well their baby slept,” a mom from Texas recalls. “Our son was a pretty poor sleeper, and we spent so much of that first year utterly exhausted. So to be honest, when I would see a post gloating, ‘X slept for six hours straight last night!’ I would immediately hide that person for a while because it would irritate me.”An online media professional and mom of one from Falls Church, Va., is so tired of playing the game that she’s taken her ball and gone home. “I kind of avoid Facebook entirely,” she says, “because I'm sick of everyone's presentation of perfection.”32. What’s the purpose of giving the example of Kimberly Gervaise in paragraph one?A.to introduce readers to Kimberly GervaiseB.to make readers know something about facebookC.to tell a story about a facebook momD.to introduce the topic of the passage.33. The underlined expression in paragraph two most probably means ________.A. feeling ashamedB. feeling inspiredC. feeling excitedD.feeling disturbed34. What can we know from the last two paragraphs?A.Only some moms feel bad about bragging on facebook.B. Many moms feel uneasy or tired of other’s bragging on facebook.C. Successful woman will not feel hurt when they see other’s presentation of perfection.D. All facebook moms will choose to avoid facebook.35. What is the best title for the passage?A.Facebook Moms Feel UneasyB. The Side Effects Of FacebookC.Facebook As a Time KillerD. The Bragging Moms on Facebook三. 任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）Animal feed is the biggest cost for most cattle producers. In the United States, the cost of hay, grains and other feed has risen sharply because of a drought. At the same time, wildfires this year burned more than a million hectares of North American rangeland (牧场).Jack Field raises cattle in the northwestern state of Washington. To save money, he has made plans to truck his small herd of cows three hundred kilometers to feed on crop stubble. Crop stubble is what remains after crops have been harvested.Moving his cattle from farm to farm costs money and time. But he says if he can avoid feeding them hay, he can still make a profit.Tim DelCurto is a beef scientist at Oregon State University. He is working with ranchers (牧场主) and feedlot owners to help them find lower cost ways to feed cattle. He says cattle can eat things like grass-seed straw and distillers grains. These grains are left over from ethanol (乙醇) fuel production.He says cattle can also eat cannery waste and items rejected by vegetable processors — like misshapen green beans, carrots, even French fries.“N ow I think one of the unique qualities of beef cattle — and sheep would fit this, too — is that they can virtually digest anything.”The rising cost of feed has led agricultural research universities to give greater attention to what experts call “feed efficiency”. The University of Idaho has a cattle barn where sensors measure exactly how much food each cow eats.Professor Rod Hill says just that animals are growing at the same rate does not mean they eat the same amount of food. In fact the difference in how efficiently their bodies transform feed into meat, fat, bone and hide might be surprising.“These anim als are — for your eye and mine — they look quite homogenous (同种类的). But the variation in intake for animals growing at the same rate is of the order of thirty-five percent.”This is a case where humans and animals have something in common.“You know, we talk to people who say, ‘All I have to do is, is, is look at the candy store and, and I put on three pounds.’ And so we don’t actually quantify it so precisely in humans, we know in humans that some people can eat a little and they can put on quite a bit of weight and some people can eat a lot and hardly put on any weight. So it’s a biological phenomenon.”Rod Hill says ranchers can use selective breeding to get the same growth with less feed. But he says not to focus too much on one thing, like reducing fat.“Less-efficient animals are slightly fatter, and more-efficient animals are slightly leaner. So we wouldn’t want to just go after efficiency and then forget about the body composition. So, we wouldn’t want animals to become too lean, so that mig ht reduce marbling (肥瘦相间的肉) in the product, especially in the quality cuts where the profit is.”Title Improving “feed efficiency” in cattleProblemAnimal feed in the US becomes the biggest (1)________ for most cattleproducers this year.(2)________A (3)________ did great harm to the growth of hay, grains and other feed.Wild fires (4)________ much of North American rangeland.Actions to (5)________ the problem Jack Field has (6)________ to carry his cows by truck 300 kilometers away to feed on crop stubble, which he thinks is beneficial.Tim DelCurto works with ranchers and feedlot owners to find lower cost ways to feed cattle.

Have you ever 37 what that little thought would have become if you had acted on your instincts (直觉) 38 if you had paid more attention to it?Imagine a scene, 39 you are sitting at home watching television or reading a book, suddenly a light is 40 on in the dark tunnel of your mind as a thought or an idea crosses your mind. The thought 41 your attention but seems so meaningless and you are tempted to 42 it, but wait a minute! That thought could be the potential beginning of the 43 you have so much wished for.As the thought crosses your mind, your senses become alert and you suddenly see a possibility, a solution, or find the answer to a problem whose solution has 44 escaped you. It is almost as if a wise man has 45 the perfect solution into your ear or awakened your senses to a reality, thereby bringing light to your life. It is like finding the 46 piece of jigsaw puzzle. This becomes an amazing moment and everything freezes around you as you excitedly try to grasp the practicality of that 47 but powerful thought.Your self-confidence and enthusiasm increase as you become 48 of the great possibilities that can 49 if that little thought is acted upon. This becomes the moment to build upon that thought and to put 50 any ideas that are streaming from that little thought for later review. 51 meaningless little thought or ideas when acted upon have a 52 to explode into great projects. Many successful projects have been 53 from the little positive thoughts that were carefully protected and recognized as bricks to great things.Don't waste a(n) 54 to act on a potentially brilliant idea. You don't have to wait for a major idea, or approval from your peers in order for you to act on that little thought.That little thought or idea is the 55 of great things if you decide to follow it through.36.

Nothing was really wrong —my family and I were healthy, my career was busy and successful — I was just feeling down and in need of a friend who could raise my spirits, someone who would meet me for coffee and let me shout until the clouds lifted. I dialed my best friend, who now lives across the country in California, and got her voicemail. That‘s when it started to dawn on me — loneliness was at the root of my sadness. My social life had lessened to almost nothing, but somehow until that moment I‘d been too busy to notice. Now it hit m e hard. My old friends, buddies since college or even childhood, know everything about me; when they left, they had taken my context with them.Research has shown the long-range negative consequences of social isolation on one‘s health. So I resolved to acquire new friends — women like me who had kids and enjoyed rolling their eyes at the world a little bit just as I did. Since I‘d be making friends with more intention than I‘d ever given the process, I realized I could be selective, that I could in effect design my own social life. The down side, of course, was that I felt pretty frightened.After all, it‘s a whole lot harder to make friends in midlife tha n it is when you‘re younger —a fact women I‘ve spoken with point out again and again. As Leslie Danzig, 41, a Chicago theater director and mother, sees it, when you‘re in your teens and 20s, you‘re more or less friends with everyone unless there‘s a reason not to be. Your college roommate becomes your best pal at least partly due to proximity. Now there ne eds to be a reason to be friends. ―There are many people I‘m comfortable around, but I wouldn‘t go so far as to call them friends. Comfort isn‘t enough to maintain a real friendship,‖ Danzig says.At first, finding new companions felt awkward. At 40 I coul dn‘t run up to people the way my 4-year-old daughters do on the playground and ask, ―Will you be my friend? Every time you start a new relationship, you‘re vulnerable again,‖ agrees Kathleen Hall, D Min, founder and CEO of the Stress Institute, in Atlanta.―You‘re asking, ‗Would you like to come into my life?‘ It makes us self-conscious.‖Fortunately, my discomfort soon passed. I realized that as a mature friend seeker my vulnerability risk was actually pretty low. If someone didn‘t take me up on my offer, so what: I wasn‘t in junior high, when I might have been rejected for having the wrong clothes or hair. At my age I have gathered enough self-esteem to realize that I have plenty to offer.A new friend, chosen right, can help you turn over a new leaf and point your boat in the direction you want to go. Hanna Dershowitz, 39, an attorney and mother in Los Angeles, found that a new acquaintance from work was exactly what she needed in a friend. In addition to liking and respecting Julia, Dershowitz had a feeling that the fit and athletic younger woman would help her to get in shape.While you‘re busy making new friends, remember that you still need to care for your old ones. We asked Marla Paul, author of The Friendship Crisis, for the best ways to maintain these important relationships. Keep in touch. Your friends should be a priority; schedule regular lunch dates or coffee catch-up sessions, no matter how busy you are. Know her business. Keep track of important events in a friend‘s life and show your support. Call or e-mail to let her know you‘re thinking of her. Speak your mind. Tell a friend (politely) if something she did really upset you. If you can‘t be totally honest, then you need to reexamine the relationship. Accept her flaws. No one is perfect, so work around her quirks —she‘s often late, or she‘s a bit negative — to cut down on frustration and fights. Boost her ego. Heartfelt praises make everyone feel great, so tell her how much you love her new sweater or what a great job she did on a work project.59. What is the major function of the first paragraph?A.

The first industrial revolution was the production of goods with machines like steam engines, which was followed by the second industrial revolution that introduced mass production with the help of electric power, followed by the digital revolution —the use of electronics and IT in production.Industry 4.0 is a high-tech project, which promotes the computerization of manufacturing. The basic principle of Industry 4.0 is that by connecting machines, work pieces and systems, we are creating intelligent networks along the entire value chain that can control each other automatically. The goal is the Smart Factory, which adapts well and uses resources efficiently as well as linking customers and business partners with great intelligence. Technological basis are the Internet systems and advanced factories. Experts believe that Industry 4.0 could be a reality in about 10 to 20 years.So, what effects does this change have on the classic manufactu ring? According to an expert, ―It is highly likely that the world of production will become more and more networked until everything is connected with everything else.‖ Networks and processes have so far been limited to one factory. But in the time of Industry 4.0, the boundaries of individual factories will most likely no longer exist. Instead, they will be lifted in order to inter-connect multiple factories or even geographical regions.How is an Industry 4.0 factory different from a today‘s factory? In current industry environment, providing high-end quality service or product with the least cost is the key to success. Factories are trying to increase their profit as much as possible. In the time of Industry 4.0, various data sources are available to provide worthwhile information about different aspects of the factory. Using data for understanding the current condition and checking faults and failures is a natural thing. The sharing of information around the clock and around the globe will enable these connected systems to manage themselves independently, work more efficiently and identify any errors quickly.The good news is that Europe is much better prepared for the Industry 4.0 revolution than one might think. Europe will position itself as a pioneer in the fourth revolution. Industry 4.0 is a project in the high-tech strategy of the German government. Meanwhile, in the U.S., some companies are also working hard on it. But the success of industry depends on whether business and politics can work together. I t‘s not only politics that needs to help open the door for Industry 4.0. Every company is advised to seize the new digital opportunities.63. What marks the coming of Industry 4.0?A. Steam engines.B. Mass production.C. Use of electronics.D. Intelligent networks.64. Industry 4.0 will probably result in ______ in the world of manufacturing.A. production limited to an individual factoryB. everything connected with everything elseC. networks and processes no longer existingD. classic factories stopping their competition65. What‘s the meaning of the underlined part in Para. 4?A. Sharing information of the world time.B. Global news broadcast at any time.C. Instant worldwide information exchange.D.
