I've always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care。

What I 36 most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we 37 ate our meal。

With so little conversation I was quick to 38 his family as cold。

When we got into the 39 to go home, his father suddenly appeared.
40 , he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he was a caring man through the glass.
I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often
41 me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox。

It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant 42 or inquiry about my life，just financial instructions。

This manner of his 43 me
and we often quarreled. But one day，I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his 44 morning calls。

The next time he called and told me to buy a stock，I 45 him。

When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt 46 . For example, I always return phone calls 47 and regularly contact with my friends. I expect the same from them。

I had one friend who rarely called，answering my messages with short e—mails. I rushed to the 48 : She wasn’t a good friend! My anger 49 as the holidays approached。

But then she came to a gathering I 50 and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window—shopping the previous month。

I was 51 at her thoughtfulness，and regretful for how I’d considered her to be 52 . Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.
Far too often，I ignored their 53 expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my 54 . Over the years, however, I’ve learned to 55 other persons，love signs.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A
Coffee is one of the world’s most widely—enjoyed drinks. Now, a new research suggests that if you drink enough coffee, it might help you avoid certain kinds of cancer。

Dr. Mia Hashibe of the University of Utah School of Medicine was interested in the connection between coffee drinking and certain cancers of the head and neck。

Researchers have looked into this before, but without reaching any firm conclusions. She said, "So this finding from our new study was quite a surprise. We didn’t really have any expectation of
which direction it could go into."
To sort out the confusion，Hashibe and her assistants used statistical (统计学) techniques to，in effect, make one big study out of the earlier smaller studies。

She explained，”Thanks to the earlier studies，we have a lot more power than earlier studies that looked at this. And we included 4,000 cancer patients who have cancer of the mouth and throat. And then 9，000 controls, people who do not have cancer. ' Those studies—-in Europe and the United States-—found that people who drank a lot of coffee were less likely to develop cancers of the mouth and throat。

”We saw a protective effect for drinking more than 4 cups of coffee per day,” Hashibe said。

”This was the 40 percent decrease in risk。

We did not see the same effect for drinking three cups or less per day.”
Mia Hashibe said there was a weak connection between cancer risk and drinking coffee without caffeine。

And she and her assistants found no proof that drinking tea provided the same protection as drinking Coffee. Their research is published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology，Biomarkers & Prevention。

Hashibe says it is not clear how coffee might protect drinkers from certain cancers. ”There are a few chemicals that are known to be antioxidants （抗氧化物）in coffee. So we are thinking perhaps they are playing some sort of protective role against seve ral cancers.”
56. This passage is probably taken from ______
A. a literature book
B. a travel journal
C. an old directory
D. a medical magazine
57. Dr。

Hashibe expected nothing of her research because _______
A. it was impossible to get the desired result
B. the research was much surprising in fact
C。

no conclusions had been reached before
D. the research team lacked faith in success
58。

Which of the following might have something to do with the protection against mouth cancer?
A. Coffee without chemicals. B。

Coffee without caffeine。

C。

Four cups of tea a day。

D. Antioxidants in coffee。

59。

What do we know about Dr. Mia Hashibe and her research？
A。

She knew for sure how coffee may affect drinkers。

B. She included 4,000 people without cancer in study。

C. She found an effect for three cups of coffee a day.
D. She based her research on several earlier studies.
60. What would be the best title for the text?
A。

Drinking Coffee May Protect Some Cancers
B。

Drinking Coffee May Prevent Some Cancers
C. Drinking Coffee May Cure Some Cancers
D。

Drinking Coffee May Cause Some Cancers
B
Young women are more adventurous than young men when travelling
abroad in gap years．One in three female backpackers visits more than three countries during a year out and travels alone, according to new research．
By contrast，the majority of their male counterparts visit only one country and tend to travel in groups，says a survey by the Gap Year company, which provides information and services for students considering taking a year out．
More women than men say that their prime reason for taking time off is to see the world and experience different cultures．Men are more likely to rank “having fun" higher on their list of priorities．Women are more likely to value the challenge of a foreign trip, and many cited reasons such as learning a language and meeting new people．
The more adventurous gap years taken by women seem to work to their benefit；more than three quarters of those surveyed have reported increased confidence，selfreliance and independence, whereas only half of the men had that experience．
The research also shows that women are more likely to do voluntary work while travelling, with more than one in ten helping with teaching or development projects．One of the reasons given for this is a wish to see the country in an authentic light．
A greater proportion of women than men face objections or criticism from their families over their gapyear plans．Among the men surveyed, lack of money is the main barrier to travel．
Carolyn Martin, a doctor from London，is a typically confident female traveller．Starting in Cape Town，she travelled around southern Africa and Australia with a string of unusual and sometimes dangerous jobs．
“I had one job chasi ng elephants off the runway in Africa by banging a stick against a pan，” she recalled．“It was OK but one day I did get chased by one．”
She said that she had travelled alone because “you meet more people”．
61．By referring to “gap year” the writer means ________．
A．a gap you come across after leaving high school
B．a time when you are caught in a dilemma between work and study C．a period after you find a job upon your graduation from college D．a year off between high school and college for certain purposes 62．According to the article，________．
A．most of the women students will travel abroad during the summer holidays
B．one third of the women students will travel abroad in a year C．women students are more likely to travel abroad alone in gap years D．women students are willing to travel abroad in a group
63．In the third paragraph，the underlined word “priorities” most probably means ________．
A．selections B．attractions C．preferences D．projects
64．Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Men students will travel less during the gap year because of their parttime jobs．
B．Women students will travel more but face more objections．C．The article suggests that women travelling alone will have dangerous experiences．
D．Men students prefer to travel inside their own country to going abroad．
65．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A．Girls Get the Best out of Gap Years
B．Boys Lack Courage in Gap Years
C．For Fun or for Adventure?
D．Young Women Are More Adventurous
C
Rae Armantrout，who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego（UCSD）for two decades, has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book, “Versed”。

“I’m delighted and amazed at how much media rec ognition that the Pulitzer brings，as compared to even the National Book Critics Award，which I was also surprised and delighted to win," said Armantrout.
“For a long time，my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising。

"
Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor’s degree at UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her master’s in creative writing from San Francisco State Univers ity. She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.
In March, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for “Versed. ”
“This book has gotte n more attention，” Armantrout said，“but I don’t feel as if it's better. ”
The first half of “Versed” focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq。

The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006。

Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not. “Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry,” said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Hum anities at UCSD。

“Versed”，published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works, which is about 2,700 copies。

The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.
66。

According to Rae Armantrout，____________.

68. What can we learn about “Versed"?

C. It is a book published two decades ago。

D. It partly concerns the poet’s own life。

69. Rae Armantrout's colleagues think that she ____________。

Ever wondered how one person could save the planet from the effects
of climate change？
A British-made computer game on trial release on Monday creates different ways of doing just that．
“Fate of the World”puts the Earth’s future in players’ hands,
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
placing them in charge of an international environmental body which could save the world from the effects of rising greenhouse gas emissions （排放）or let it destroyed by more emissions．
Through different scenes, players can explore options such as geoengineering（地球工程) and alternative energy sources to save the planet from rising temperatures, decreasing natural resources and a growing population over the next 200 years．
An improved version of the game will be followed by a three—month feedback period from players, with final release due in February next year．Created by Oxford-based games developer Red Redemption，the game is different from other mainstream action games mainly by using data from real climate models and advice from scientists and economists．“Science data is often inaccessible and we are trying to put players in a position of power and connected with the issues，” Gobion Rowlands，Red Redemption's founder and chairman said．
This year, a series of apparent errors in climate science and the failure of UN talks to reach an international deal to cut greenhouse gas emissions appeared to weaken the public’s interest in climate change．However, games centered on sustainability(持续性）and human rights have been growing in popularity and are welcomed by green groups as a way of raising awareness．Using climate change as inspiration for entertainment shows the issue has affected global culture，which can only be a good thing．Friends of the Earth's head of climate Mike Childs said.“We need creative industries to work with these big issues as the results can be extremely powerful and can help us to understand what a sustainable future looks and feels like,"he added．
71．“Fate of the World" in the passage refers to ．
A．a book on computer games B．a company developing computer games
C．a computer game on climate change D．a player in charge of computer games
72．What makes the climate computer game different from the other games？
A．It uses data from real climate models and advice from experts．B．It is the only computer game about climate．
C．It can save the planet from the effect of climate change．
D．It aims to affect the global culture．
73．It can be concluded from the passage that ．
A．games on sustainability and human rights are very popular among young players
B．the game increases players' awareness of environmental protection C．only computer experts can play the new climate computer game D．after a three-month feedback period from players，the new game is on sale now
74．Which of the following can NOT the players experience while playing the new game？
A．Challenging the climate change in an unreal world
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
B．Understanding what a sustainable future looks and feels like C．Enjoying the power to decide the earth’s fate
D．Predicting what will happen in 200 years
75．In which column of a newspaper can you probably read this article？A．Weather ＆Climate B．Science & Technology
C．Life & Entertainment D．Sports & Culture

阅读下面短文，请根据短文后的要求进行答题。

（请注意问题后的字数要求)
[1］Swimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life. Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk. In fact，you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. However, I believe that five is the best age to learn。

By five or six，a child knows fear of water, a very important thing to know。

It’s wise to be afraid, to recognize true danger。

Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous。

［2]To really benefit from swimming，every swimmer should learn ______：butterfly，backstroke，breaststroke，and crawl. I feel that one of these—the breaststroke—is different from the others，since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally，without any training.
[3]In swimming，there are certain rules every swimmer should follow：（1）Never swim alone！No matter how good you are in the water，don’t risk drowning by swimming alone. If you swim by yourself，with no life guards or friends with you，you may get into trouble。

（2）Don’t go beyond your abilities。

Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach. Showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good。

Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive.
（3)Don't smoke。

Swimming depends on a healthy body; good lungs are part of it.
(4）Work at any activity that builds muscles。

76．What is the main idea of the passage？(no more than 10 words）

第二节书面表达（25分）
A One possible version：
As is shown in the pictures, we plant trees and we will enjoy the shade ourselves as well as our grandchildren. If we do something good to nature,
it will do more to us。

Nature is to us what water is to fish。

Yet we don' t always realize it until it is too late. With the development of modern technology，there are more and more people on the earth and fewer and fewer resources left。

What's worse, pollution is getting more and more serious and the climate is becoming warmer and warmer. If this continues，we human beings will face the danger of being endangered, let alone live a better life。

As a result, in order to protect not only our next generation but also ourselves，what we have to do now is to take good care of nature and our only home –The Earth.
