I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are out main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register(收款机)with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash (现⾦), had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Change it to me, ” was all he said.What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.56. The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits_________ .A.hoped to have the food first and pay laterB.promised to obey the store rulesC.forgot to take any money with himD.could not afford anything more expensive57. Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?A.kind and luckyB.friendly and helpfulC.poor and lonelyD.hurt and disappointed58. The writer acted upon the store rules because_________ .A.he felt no pity for the old gentlemanB.he considered the old man dishonestC.he expected someone else to pay for the old manD.he wanted to keep his present job59. What does the writer learn from his experience?A.Wealth is more important than anything elseB.Experience is better gained through practiceC.Obeying the rules means more than compassion.D.Helping others is easier said than doneBBlamelessI was a freshman in college when I met the Whites. They were completely different from my own family, yet I felt at home with them immediately. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin.In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened.“Who did this? ”my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen.“This is all your fault, Katharine, ”my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke.From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other. We set a place for blame at the dinner table.But the Whites didn’t worry about who had done what. They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died.In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York. The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy, had recently turned sixteen. Proud of having a new driver’s license(驾照)，Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her license to everyone she met. The big sisters shared the driving of Sarah’s new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached less crowded areas, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous or just didn’t see the sign no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping. The driver of a large truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car.Jane was killed immediately.I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that I’ve ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died. Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room. Sarah had a few cuts on the head; Amy’s leg was broken. They hugged(拥抱)us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls’ tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches(拐杖).To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, “We’re so glad that you’re alive. ”I was astonished. No blame. No accusations.Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.Mrs. White said, “Jane’s gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister’s death? ”They were right. Amy graduated from the University of California and got married several years ago. She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students. She’s also a mother of two little girls of her own, the oldest named Jane.60. How did the accident occur?A. Amy didn’t know what to do when she saw the stop sign.B. Amy didn’t slow down so their car ran into a truck.C. Amy didn’t stop at a crossroads and a truck hit their car.D. Amy didn’t get off the highway at a crossroads.61. The Whites did not blame Amy for Jane’s death because _____.A. Amy was badly injured herself and they didn’t want to add to her painB. they didn’t want to blame their children in front of othersC. they didn’t want Amy to feel ashamed and sorry for the rest of her lifeD. Amy was their youngest daughter and they loved her best62. From the passage we can learn that _____.A. Amy has lived quite a normal lifeB. Amy has never recovered from the shockC. Amy changed her job after the accidentD. Amy lost her memory after the accidentCA rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below 16℃.Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate.Without the forest cover，these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world.Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns，potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.In the past hundred years，humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources(资源)：land for crops，wood for paper and other products，land for raising farm animals.This action affects the environment as a whole.For example，a lot of carbon dioxide(⼆氧化碳)in the air comes from burning the rainforests.People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this.Firstly，when people cut down trees，generally they can only use the land for a year or two.Secondly，cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now，but in the long run it actually reduces the world's wood supply.Rainforests are often called the world's drug store.More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests.However，fewer than 1%of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value.It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world's shrinking rainforests.63.Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they ______.A.reflect more heat into the atmosphereB.reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earthC.bring about high rainfall throughout the worldD.rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than 16℃64.What does the word“this”underlined in the third paragraph refer to?A.Humans have begun destroying rainforests.B.People have a strong desire for resources.C.We will lose much more than we can gain.D.Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.65.It can be inferred from the text that ______.A.we can get enough resources without rainforestsB.we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained landC.the level of annual rainfall affects wind patternsD.there is great medicine potential in rainforests66.What might be the best title for the text?A.Rainforests and the EnvironmentB.How to Save RainforestsC.How to Protect NatureD.Rainforests and Medical DevelopmentDThe Diet Zone: A Dangerous PlaceDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically(⾝体上).Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤)instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分).

B. C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AShopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on follows at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute impolitely; he does so with skill: “I know this jacke t is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned.” Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wa sting my time and yours by trying it on.”Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is o nly “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lockout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.36. The passage mainly talks about ________.A. differences between men and women shoppersB. A man goes shopping because he needs somethingC. How women go about buying clothes.D. Women are better at shopping than men37. The underlined sentence “the price is a secondary consideration” in the first paragraph means when a man is shopping ________.A. he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too dearB. he buys whatever he likes without considering its valueC. he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right thingsD. he often buy things without giving the matter proper thought.38. What does a man do when he can not get exactly what he wants?A. He buys a similar thing because of the color he wants.B. He usually does not buy anything.C. At least two of his requirements must be met before he buys.D. So long as the style is right, he buys the thing.39. What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?A. Men do not try clothes on in a shop while women do.B. Women bargain for their clothes, but men do not.C. The time they take over buying clothes.D. Men go shopping based on need, but women never.B.Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friend ship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.Generosity means sharing and makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to friends. They tell your friends what is important to you. By sharing then you help your friend know you better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with problems. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends; you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.40. Some friendships don’t last long because __________.A. there are too many people who want to make friendsB. those (who never give others friendships) receive no friendship from othersC. those who give others friendship receive friendship from othersD. they don’t know friendship is something serious41. According to the passage honesty is __________.A. something countableB. the base of friendshipC. as important as moneyD. more important than anything else42. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage?A. Always tell your friend the truth.B. Sharing your mind with your friend is of great value.C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.D.A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.43. The best title of this passage is __________.A. Honesty Is the Best PolicyB.A Friend In Need Is a Friend IndeedC. How To Be a FriendD. Three Important Points In LifeCWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that were also enjoyed by the inhabitants (居民) of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants will become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help a country's economy (经济). It is important to think about the people of a destination (目的地) country and how tourism affects( 影响)them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well being of local inhabitants. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy will suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people will lose jobs.Businesses will also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, broad roads, and other things needed by places of interest. For example, a five star tourism hotel needs as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities (支撑设施) as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, and sewers to handle waste and water.All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.44. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the part that goes before this passage?A. It is very important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is necessary.C. Support facilities are highly important.D. Planning is very important to tourism.45. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ____.A. a bad effect on other industriesB. a change of tourists’ customsC. over crowdedness of places of interestD. pressure (压力) on traffic46. Not enough tourism can lead to ____.A. an increase of unemployment (失业)B. a decrease(减退)in tourist attractionsC. the higher cost of support facilitiesD. a rise in price and a fall in payDMoney is all surrounding us．Every day, we see it, use it, and it is on the tip of our tongue．Did you ever stop to take into consideration where the money that you carry around every day comes from?Making new money is a very unique job and no easy task．It has up to 65 steps. When the money in circulation（流通）gets dirty and worn out, it is replaced with new money.The old money is taken from banks and brought to places where it is ually, the old money is burned.The burned money is replaced by new paper moneyIf old money is being replaced, then new money is printed in a place called a mint（造币厂）．Large sheets of paper are printed with many pictures of some currency （流通货币）．These large sheets are cut into individual bills.The individual bills are then put together in big stacks and then sent to banks．Sometimes the mint will make a new bill with a new picture (portraits of statesman and places of interest are favoured)or a new colour. It is not easy for the government to make a new bill.

Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was wide-spread in Italy. The English explanation was that Italians were unwilling to eat food touched with fingers, “seeing all men’s fingers are not alike clean.Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the nexthundred years. Not until the late 1600’s did using a fork become a common custom.36. The custom of eating with a fork was ________.A. brought to Europe from AmericaB. begun when forks first inventedC. brought to Europe from ConstantinopleD. thought of by the Italians37. By the fifteenth century, forks were used________.A. all over ItalyB. only in ConstantinopleC. by the kings and queens of EuropeD. in England38. The English thought that Italians used forks in order to________.A. imitate（模仿）the people of the EastB. keep their food cleanC. impress visitors with their good mannersD. amuse (逗笑) the English39. The best title of the passage is “_________’.A. Eating with a ForkB. The History of Eating with a ForkC. A Way of EatingD. A Custom of EatingBDo you love the holidays, but hate gaining weight? You are not alone. Holidays are times for feasting and celebrating. Many people are worried about their weight. With proper planning, though, it is possible to keep normal weight during the holidays. Whether it is celebrating at the office party or sitting down for the traditional family dinner, you should regard eating as a chance for tasting a variety of foods. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don’t have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. Here are some tips for preventing weight gain and maintaining/keeping physical fitness:Don’t skip meals. Before you leave home, have a small, low-fat meal or snack. This may help to avoid getting too excited before delicious foods.Control amount of food. Use a small plate (about 10 inches) and put aside the large ones that may encourage you to “load up”. You should be most comfortable eating an amount of food about the size of your fist. Once you have your “tasting” serving, move away from the buffet (自助餐). This helps to prevent eating again and again as your appetite (胃口) is inspired by the sight of food.Begin with soup and fruit or vegetables. Fill up beforehand on water-based soup and raw fruit or vegetables. Or drink a large glass of water before you eat to help you to feel full.Stick to physical activity. Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help to burn off excess calories. Avoid high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy may have a large amount of fat. Choose lean meat (瘦肉). Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. Use lemon juice instead of creamy food.40.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. You should never eat delicious foods.B. Drinking some water or soup before eating helps you to eat less.C. Holidays are happy days but they may bring you weight problems.D. Physical exercise can reduce the chance of putting on weight.41. Which of the following can NOT help people to lose weight according to the passage?A. Eating lean meat.B. Creamy food.C. Eating raw fruit or vegetables.D. Physical exercise.42. Many people can’t control their weight during the holidays mainly because they ________.A. can’t help being tempted to eat constantlyB. take part in too many partiesC. enjoy delicious foods sometimesD. can’t help turning away from foods43. If the passage appeared in a newspaper, which section/part is the most suitable one?A. Holidays and Festivals section.B. Student Times Club section.C. Fashion section.D. Health and Fitness section.CLast year college students in America spent an estimated $700 on textbooks on average. The National Association of College Stores reported more than five billion dollars in sales of textbooks and course materials.The association spokesman Charles Schmidt says electronic textbooks now just make up 2%～3% of sales. But he says that is expected to reach 10%～15% by 2012.Online versions(版本) are now available for many of the most popular college textb ooks. An etextbook can cost half the price of a new print textbook. But students usually lose access to them after the end of the term. And the books cannot be placed on more than one device(设备)，so they are not easy to share.So what do students think of etextbooks？Administrators at Northwest Missouri State University wanted to find it out. Earlier this year they tested them with 500 students in 20 classes.The university is unusual. It provides laptop computers for all 7,000 of its fulltime students. It does not require students to buy their textbooks either. They rent them to save money. The school aims to save even more by moving to etextbooks.The students in the survey reported that downloading the books from the Internet was easy. They liked the idea of carrying lighter backpacks. And 56% said they were better able to find information.But most found that using etextbooks did not change their study habits. And 60% felt they read more when they were reading on paper. In all，almost half the students said they still liked physical textbooks better.But the survey found that cost could be a big influence.55% said they would choose etextbooks if using them meant their textbook rental fee would not increase.Roger Von Holzen heads the Center for Information Technology in Education at Northwest Missouri State University. He tells us that administrators are disappointed with the etextbooks now available because the majority are not interactive(交互式的)．He thinks growth will come when more digital books include video，activities，games and other ways to interact with the information. The technology is improving. But for now，most of the books are just words on a screen.44．Etextbooks are not better than paper books in that________.A．they cost more money B．they’re difficult to carryC．they’re not convenient to share D．they can’t be downloaded from the Internet45．How many surveyed students think paper books make better reading?A．60%. B．56%. C．55%. D．50%.46．It can be inferred from the text that in the future________.A．digital books will be more popularB．the digital books available need improvementC．free digital books are available onlineD．digital books will replace print textbooksCScotland is a well-developed tourist destination, with tourism generally being responsible for sustaining 200, 000 jobs mainly in the service sector, with tourist spending averaging at £4 bn per year. Tourists from the United Kingdom make up the bulk (主体) of visitors to Scotland. In 2002, for example, UK visitors made 18.5 million visits to Scotland, staying 64.5 million nights and spending £3.7 bn. In contrast, overseas residents made 1.58 million visits to Scotland, staying 15 million nights and spending £806 m. In t erms of overseas visitors, those from the United States made up 24% of visits to Scotland, with the United States being the largest source of overseas visitors, and Germany (9%), France (8%), Canada (7%) and Australia (6%), following behind.Scotland is generally seen as clean, unspoilt destination with beautiful scenery which has a long and complex history, combined with thousands of historic sites and attractions. These include prehistoric stone circles, standing stones and burial chambers, and various Bronze Age, Iron Age and Stone Age remains. There are also many historic castles, houses, and battlegrounds, ruins and museums. Many people are drawn by the culture of Scotland.The cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow are increasingly being seen as a cosmopolitan（全世界的）alternative to Scotland’s countryside, with visitors year round, but the main tourist season is generally from April to October inclusive. In addition to these factors, the national tourist agency, Visit Scotland, have deployed a strategy of niche (适当的) marketing, aimed at exploiting, amongst other things, Scotland’s strengths in golf, fishing and food and drink tourism. Another significant, and increasingly popular reason for tourism to Scotland —especially by those from North America—is genealogy, with many visitors coming to Scotland to explore their family and ancestral roots.47．People from ________ visited Scotland most.A. the USAB. FranceC. the UKD. Germany48．For Chinese students, the best time to visit Scotland is in ________.A. the Spring FestivalB. the winter vocationC. the summer vacationD. any time49．Scotland mainly impresses tourists with its ________.A. food and drinkB. beautiful scenery with cultural relicsC. big cities like EdinburghD. many North Am ericans’ family and ancestral roots50．In 2002, visitors from the US made about ________ visits to Scotland.A. 18.5 mB. 1.58 mC. 4.45 mD. 0.38 m四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The exchange coordinator told me I'd have a 24 this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker.

C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AWhen was the last time your family sat down together to have a dinner?The speed at which we live today no longer allows for slow eating habits. Most people work long hours. There is lots of fast food and eating out is now on the increase. Often food is eaten in front of the television in silence, or a child eats alone in front of the computer.When I was a child, every evening around the same time, one of the children would be asked to set the table, and then we’d go and wash our hands before the meal. This was the time of day when we would talk about our day at school. But now things have changed a lot.A family environment plays an important role for children in learning to communicate with others and understanding table manners, such as waiting for others to finish before leaving the table, and not speaking with a mouth full of food. Parents’ likes and dislikes of a certain food will also influence a child’s own likes and dislikes. Studies have shown that children who often eat with their families have better results at school than children who eat with their families less than twice a week.Regular meal times give children the chance to discuss their problems with family members. They can also learn to respect others around the table .Talking to your children during dinner is the best way of having their trust. Children learn good eating habits from their parents at a very young age. Family meals are important. Prepare them for your children.36. Some families eat less together because_______.A. Most children live in a schoolB. people are busy with their workC. table manners change a lotD. food in the restaurant is better37. Children who often eat with their families_______.A. turn out to do better in their studiesB. prefer to share food with othersC. show concerns about familiesD. are interested in cooking38. Which word can best describe the writer’s attitude towards eating together with families?A. supportiveB. DoubtfulC. WorriedD. Grateful39. Why does the writer give her own example?A. To tell the importance of a family.B. To compare with presentchanges.C. To show how happy her family was.D. To bring back her beautiful memory.BAmerican scientists say musical training seems to improve communication skills. They found that developing musical skills involves the same process in the brain as learning how to speak. The scientists say that could help children with learning disabilities.Nina Kraus is a neurobiologist at Northwestern University in Illinois. She says musical training involves putting together different kinds of information. She says the process involves hearing music, looking at musical notes, touching an instrument and watching other musicians. She says the process is not much different from learning how to speak. Both involve different senses.Professor Krauss says musical training and learning to speak make us think about what we are doing. She says speech and music pass through a structure of the nervous system called the brain stem(脑干). The brain stem controls our ability to hear.Until recently, experts have thought the brain stem could not be developed or changed. But Professor Krauss and her team find that musical training can improve a person's brain stem activity.The study involved people with different levels of musical ability. They were asked to wear an electrical device that measures brain activity. The people wore the device while they watched a video of someone speaking and a person playing a musical instrument. The study found that the more years of training people had, the more sensitive they were to the sound and beat of the music.Professor Kraus says the study shows the importance of musical training to children with learning disabilities.40. The main idea of the passage is .A. learning how to speakB. that brain stem is important for speechC. that musical training people are more sensitiveD. that musical training is important for communication skills41. Why can musical training improve communication skills? Because .A. it gives people more knowledgeB. it has a kind of magicC. it can improve a person’s brain stem activityD. it can make people speak42. Which sentence is true according to the text?A. The brain stem controls our ability to speak.B. The brain stem has something to do with our ability to hear.C. Experts think train stem can’t be developed.D. The musical training process involves putting together different kinds ofinformation, hearing music, looking at musical notes, touching an instrument and watching other musicians.43. The underlined word “device” means .A. a piece of equipment for some experimentB. a piece of furniture for a labC. a cell phoneD. a headphoneCThe gray wolf used to live in most of the northern United States, including Colorado. In fairy tales, wolves can be pretty mean, but in real life, wolves are shy animals that are afraid of people. They are predators of deer, elk(麋鹿) and antelope. But as more people settled in the country, they killed off many of them, so wolves started eating the cattle and sheep that the settlers brought with them. Because the settlers needed those cattle and sheep for their own families, and because many people are afraid of wolves, people started killing wolves until they became endangered. Many places would even offer money to anyone who would kill a wolf. The last wolf in Colorado was shot 50 years ago.Now, the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife would like to see wolves reintroduced into their natural homes. This is happening already in Minnesota, but not in Colorado yet. There are lots of deer and elk in the Colorado mountains for them to eat now. In fact, many people feel that having the wolves back would be a help to the deer and elk herds(群). Without enough naturalenemies, the herds get too big. Also, wolves and other predators usually catch the oldest or the sickest deer, so maybe they could help keep the other deer from getting sick and dying, too. But for ranchers（牧场主）, will the wolves come after cattle if t here are plenty of deer to eat? It’s hard to know. In Minnesota, they offer ranchers money to pay for animals that are known to have been killed by wolves. That way, the wolves have a chance, but the ranchers don’t lose too much money.

The last wolf disappeared 50 years ago.C. They can help keep the balance of natureD. They are under protection in Colorado.45. What’s the ranchers’ attitude to reintroducing gray wolves in Colorado?A. AgainstB. InterestedC. WorriedD. Excited46. The best title for the passage is _________.A. Bring the wolves backB.

B. C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AEven when you’re extremely busy, you aren’t using your time with 100% efficiency. There are gaps in everyone’s schedule where they aren’t doing anything important. Even if your schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of time when you aren’t working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.Why aren’t you completely efficient? It’s because time isn’t the limiting factor. If it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions (消遣). Instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate (拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention. Energy levels limit your productivity because when you’re tired, you can have enough time and still not get everything done. Your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.You might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices（牺牲）. But even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything. The reason why it’s hard to “find time” isn’t a lack of time. It’s because you don’t have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.I first suspected time wasn’t the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago. I was extremely busy, but at that time I still exercised regularly. I had daily to-do lists with over twenty items, and I still found time to exercise. However, after a few weeks off, because of illness, I stopped exercising. I was not busy by any standards, in fact, my schedule was very light. Despite this free time, I found it hard to find time to exercise. It seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone. How canI explain this strange experience? I believe you have known it.36. If someone can’t work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is ________.A. a schedule without gapsB. breaks and distractionsC. the limited timeD. the limited energy37. According to Paragraph 4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can ________.A. work without any restB. focus on many things at a timeC. find some more time in a dayD. do some exercise regularly38. The writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to________.A. prove what the real limiting factor isB. show us how busily he needs to workC. explain how important a healthy body isD. tell us what a strange experience he has39. What is the best title of the passage?A. Do You Really Lack Time?B. How Can You Work Efficiently?C. What Makes Your Energy Limited?D. When Should You Do Exercise?BA blind baby is doubly handicapped. Not only is it unable to see, but because it cannot receive the visual stimulus（刺激）from its environment that a sighted child does, it is likely to be slow in intellectual development. Now the ten-month old son of Dr. and Mrs. Dennis Daughters is the subject of an unusual psychological experiment designed to prevent a lag（滞后）in the learning process. With the aid of a sonar-type electronic that he wears on his head, infant(婴儿) Dennis is learning to identify the people and objects in the world around him by means of echoes(回声).The device is an improvement of the “Sonicguide”, an instrument produced by Telesensory Systems, Inc., of Palo Alto, Calif, and used by blind adults in addition to a smart or guide dog. As adapted for Dennis, it consists of a battery-powered system about the size of a half dollar that is on a headgear. A transmitter sends out an ultrasonic(超声的) pulse that creates an 80 degree cone of sound at 6 feet. Echoes from objects within the cone are perceived (felt) as sounds that vary in pitch(音调) and volume(音量) with the size and distance of the object.The closer an object is, the lower the pitch, and the larger the object, the louder the signal. Hard surfaces produce a sharp ping, while soft ones send back signals with a slightly fuzzy quality. An object slightly to the right of Denny’s sends back a louder sound to his right ear than to the left. Thus , by simply moving his head right and left and up and down, he can not only locate an object but also get some notion of its shape and size, thanks to the varying qualities of sounds reaching his ears as the cone of ultrasound(超声波) passes its edges. Dennis likes to use the device to play a kind of peek-a-boo with his mother. Standing on her knee and facing her directly, he receives a strongsignal in both ears. By turning his head away, he makes her seem to disappear. “From the first time he wore it,” says Mrs. Daughters, “it was like a light going on in his head.”What remains to be determined is how well the device will help Dennis cope with his surroundings as he begins to walk and venture further into his environment.Meanwhile, Telesensory, Inc, is working on the development of sonar(声纳) device with somewhat the same sensitivity as Dennis’s for use by school-age children.40. Dr. and Mrs. Daughters’ research is directed to ________.A. helping the blind to see and learn as well as othersB. benefiting the learning process of blind childrenC. solving blind children’s psychological problemsD. finding out how children develop intellectually41. Infant Dennis becomes the subject of the experiment most probably because ________.A. he already lags behind the sighted childrenB. he leads a life as normal as any other childrenC. he is at the early stage of the learning processD. he has the aid of a sonar-type electronic device42. What can we learn about infant Dennis’ device?A. Its first design was designed for blind adults.B. Its battery is as small as a half-dollar coin.C. It is functionally similar to a sane and guide dog.D. It has been improved by Telesensory Systems, Inc.43. In the third paragraph, “its edge” refers to ___________ .A. the edge of an objectB. the edge of the deviceC. the boundary of Dennis’ movementD. the boundary of the sound pitch.CIn the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know. T his means a hostess may not seat a small group until a smalltable is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table withpeople you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap (水龙头)water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill(重续).Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especiallyin large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.Serving in restaurants is often large; too large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you’re taking the food for yourself.Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.44. Which statement is TRUE?A. American people like sitting with people they don’t know.B. Hostess always seats a small group at a large table.C. American people never sit with people they don’t know.D. American people would not light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smoking.45.What is served before you order?A.

They ask the waitress or waiter to keep the food for them.DI was in my third year of teaching creative writing at a high school in New York, when one of my students, 15-year-old Mikey, gave me a note from his mother. It explained his absence from class the day before.I had seen Mikey himself writing the note at his desk. Most parental-excuse notes I received were penned by my students. If I were to deal with them, I’d be busy 24 hours a day.The forged excuse notes made a large pile(堆), with writing that ranged from imaginative to crazy. The writers of those notes didn’t realize that honest excuse notes were usually dull: “Peter was late because the alarm clock didn’t go off.”Isn’t it remarkable, I thou ght, how the students complained and said it was hard to put 200 words together on any subject? But when they produced excuse notes, they were brilliant.So one day I typed out a dozen excuse notes and gave them to my classes. I said, “They’re supposed to be written by parents, but actually they are not. True, Mikey?” The students looked at me nervously.“Now, this will be the first class to study the art of the excuse note—the first class, ever, to practice writing them. You’re so lucky to have a teacher like me who has taken your best writing and turned it into a subject worth studying.”Everyone smiled as I went on, “You used your imaginations. So try more now. Today I’d like you to write ‘An Excuse Note from Adam to God’ or ‘An Excuse Note from Eve to God’. ” Heads went down. Pens raced across paper. For the first time ever I saw students so careful in their writing that they had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends.The next day everyone had excuse notes. Heated discussions followed. The headmaster entered the classroom and walked up and down, looking at papers, and then said, “I’d like you to see me in my office.”When I stepped into his office, he came to shake my hand and said, “I just want to tell you that that lesson, that task, whatever the hell you were doing, was great. Those kids were writing on the college level. Thank you.”47. What did the author do with the students found dishonest?A. He reported them to the headmaster.B. He lectured them hard on honesty.C. He had them take notes before lunch.D. He helped improve their writing skills.48. The author had the students practice writing excuse notes so that thestudents could learn ______.A. the importance of being honestB. how to write excuse notes skillfullyC. the pleasure of creative writingD. how to be creative in writing49. The underlined word “forged” in the second paragraph means“______”.A. dullB. copiedC. dishonestD. parental50. What did th e headmaster think of the author’s way of teaching?A. Excellent.B. Difficult.C. Incorrect.D. Reasonable.四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

From now on, on your way home, find something 27 to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see –it could be scent (香味) of fresh bread, or it could be the 28 of the wind slightly rustling （发出沙沙声）the leaves.”“Please look for these things, and 29 them. They are 30 observing, for at any time they can all be taken away.” ks5uThe class was totally quiet. We all picked up our books and went out of the room 31 .

C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AA controversial new study has claimed that men really are more intelligentthan women．The study concluded that men’s IQs are almost four points higherthan women’s.British-born researcher John Philippe Ruston says the finding could explainwhy so few women make it to the top in the workplace. He claims the “glassceiling” phenomenon is probably due to inferior (差的) intelligence，ratherthan lack of opportunity.The University of Western Ontario psychologist reached his conclusion after scrutinizing the results of university ability tests taken by 1 00,000 studentsaged 17 and 18 of both sexes.A focus on the factors such as the ability to quickly grasp a complex concept，verbal reasoning skills and creativity― some of the key factors of intelligence ―showed the male teenagers had IQs that were an average of 3.63points higher. The average person has an IQ around 100.The findings，which held true (适合) for all classes and levels of education,overturn (推翻) 100-year opinion that men and women average the same in generalmental ability. They also conflict with evidence that girls do better in schoolexams than boys.But Professor Ruston argues that the faster maturing of girls leads to them outshining (胜过) boys in the classroom.36. The report is mainly about ______.A. a study that shows men are cleverer than womenB. the “glass ceiling” phenomenonC. Professor Ruston’s theory on IQD. the difference between male and female37. The underlined word “scrutinizing” in the third paragraph probably means______.A. making upB. carrying outC. looking atD. examining carefully38. We can infer that the average woman has an IQ of ______.A. a little less than 100B. 100C. more than 100D. 96.3739. Which of the following opinions does Professor Ruston NOT accept?A. Men’s IQs are almost four points higher than women’s.B. Few women make it to the top in the workplace.C. Men and women average the same in general mental ability.D. The faster maturing of girls leads to them outshining boys in the classroom.BSome people don't mind being fat. Other people can keep slim( 苗条) withoutany effort. But a lot of people do put on too much weight and don't like it.The question is : what can they do about it? Some believe exercise can behelpful. But the trouble is that it only makes you want to eat more. You mightsweat out (减去) a couple of pounds playing tennis or climbing a mountain, butyou put it all back on again with a big steak or bread and jam.A helpful way is food - choosing. But what sort of food should you choose?Some believe that the less they eat, the slimmer they will be. They don' t eat anything until they become weak with hunger. Some stick to milk and bananas. You' 11 find you need a lot of bananas, and unless you live where they grow, they aren't cheap. Another theory says that if you eat things like hard - boiled eggs, apples with their skins on, and lean meat which are hard for your stomach to digest, the more you eat, the thinner you get. This is because you use up the fat in your body to get the energy to digest the food.For most of us these methods are too extreme (极端). The simplest way is just to cut down on the carbohydrates; that means not eating bread, potatoes, cakes, sugar, rice , and so on and eating anything else you like. It' s straight —forward and often quite effective. Still others like to be more scientific. They are calorie counters. They get a table which tells them that, for example, 100 grams of roast leg of lamb give you 330 calories and a 50 gram of Yorkshire pudding gives you 130 calories.40. There seems nothing wrong with exercise EXCEPT that____________A. it makes you sweatB. it' s hard workC. it tires you outD. it makes you eat more41. The practical method suggested in this passage means___________.A. sticking to bananasB. not eating many carbohydratesC. eating things that are hard to digestD. eating as little as possible42. A calorie is a unit(单位) of_____________.A. weightB. powerC. electricityD. heat43. Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage?A. Various Ways of Losing WeightB. Don't Eat Too MudC. Ways to Keep FitD. Food and HealthCIn every school there is a “top” crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their lead. Let’s say the top crowd decides that it is smart towear bright red sweaters. Pretty soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater.There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that on some people bright red sweater is extremely unbecoming. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive carsat seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are endangering their lives. They are like the sheep being led to the butcher.Now, chances are that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life; chances are that one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, “Gee, the crowd does it.” Well, let the crowd do it, but don’t do it yourself. Learn to say, “No.”Develop your own standards and your own judgment. If you know the crowd is planning something you disagree to, have the courage to bow out mannerly. You’ll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet.44. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Follow the Lead.B. Top Crowd.C. Being Yourself.D. Bright Red.45. The author doesn’t think it good wearing red sweaters if ________.A. the crowd does itB. you can’t afford themC. you don’t look good in redD. the situation isn’t safe46. According to the passage, people who follow the crowd ________.A. sometimes do things against their better judgmentB. make mistakes blindlyC. are willing to put their lives in dangerD. will in the end become pace-settersDThe Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666．In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together．Over one hundred people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.The fire started on Sunday mor ning in the house of the King’s baker（面包师）in Pudding Lane．The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window into the roof．A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery（面包房）into a small hotel next door．Then it spread quickly into Thames Street．That was the beginning.By eight o’ clock three hundred houses were on fire．On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames．Tuesday was the worst day．The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul’s and the Guildhall were among them.Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire, “People threw theirthings into the river．Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment．Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.”The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire．With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect(建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone．In fact, the streets are still narrow, but he did build more than fifty churches, among them was the new St Paul’s Cathedral.The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.47．The fire began in .A．a hotel B．the palace C．Pudding Lane D．Thames Street48．The underlined word‘family’in the second paragraph means .A．home B．children C．wife and husband D．wife and children 49．It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that .A．some people lost their livesB．the birds in the sky were killed by the fireC．many famous buildings were destroyedD．the King’s bakery was burned down50．Why did the writer cite(引用)Samuel Pepys?A．Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.B．Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.C．To show that poor people suffered most.D．To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑ASaturday，March 24thWe have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand(泰国). All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.Tuesday, March 27th Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai. Friday，March 30th Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life ---no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.36. The diaries above show the writer’s ______ days in Thailand.A. 3B. 7C. 15D. 3037. It seems that visitors _________ in Bangkok.A. often feel hungryB. can always find cheap thingsC. can’t take any photosD. can enjoy themselves38. The best title of this article is_________.A. My First TravelB. The Outside WorldC. Traveling in ThailandD. A Country on the Train39.The people in the village _______.A. are friendly to othersB. like to speak EnglishC. are very weakD. hope to live in the citiesBWhat do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers (制造商) to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream—as well as for developing over 75 flavors (口味).Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No—there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains: “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir (搅拌) it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Dose the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy---working at one cool job.40. What is John Harrison’s job?A. An official.B. An ice-cream taster.C. A chemist.D. An ice-cream manufacturer.41. According to John Harrison, to be qualified（合格的）in the “cool field”, it is helpful to ________.A. keep a diary of workB. have a degree in related subjectsC. have new ideas every dayD. find out new flavor each day42. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?A. He stirs the ice cream.B. He examines the color of the ice cream.C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.D. He lets the ice cream warm up.43. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A. Tasting with EyesB. Flavors of Ice CreamC. John Harrison’s LifeD. One Cool JobCWe know the westerners like to plan for their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them. So if your American or English friend asks you to dinner, he usually invites you a week ahead. But if you really have no time and can't go to the dinner, you can ring him to say sorry. The dinner is usually served at home, sometimes at a restaurant. You should get there on time, and don't forget to put on your fine clothes. It is also a good idea to take some little presents to your friend, such as flowers, chocolates and so on. When you are at dinner, you should also observe (遵守) some other customs. Here I'll give you some dos and don'ts about them in the following: 1) Don't leave bones on the table or the floor. (You should put them on your plate with fingers.)2) Don't use your bowl to drink soup, but use your spoon to help you instead.3) Don't talk with much food in your mouth.4) Don't ask others to have more wine. (This is quite different from that in China.)5) After dinner, use your napkin (餐巾) to clean your mouth and hands.6) Make sure small pieces of food are not left on your face.Then after dinner, you can stay there a little time. And your friend will be pleased if you leave in half an hour or so. Next day, you had better ring him up to thank him for the good dinner.44. If your American or English friend wants to invite you to dinner, he will invite you _________A. on the night before the dinnerB. on the day before the dinnerC. at the last momentD. a week before the dinner45.

You'd better ring your friend the next day to show your thanks.C. After dinner, you'd better leave in half an hour.D. After dinner, use napkin to clean your mouth.DWe can stay young forever. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world. And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “shen”.According to Shen, it is the kidney（肾脏）which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The Telegraph newspaper.We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.47. How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging?A. By studying Western medicine.B. By learning traditional Chinese medicine.C. By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.D. By doing research on both Western and Chinese people.48. What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?A. Medical treatment.B. People’s good kidney.C. Level of people’s activity.D. Positive life attitude.49. The reason why people become old is that _________.A. their bodies produce T-cellsB. their bodies are unable to fight diseasesC. they have reduced strength, loss of hairD. they become weaker and weaker50. We can probably learn from the passage that _________.A. producing more low calorie food allows people to keep youngB. the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for healthC. people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the bodyD. it remains unknown how effective Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine is四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.Tuesday, March 27th Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai. Friday，March 30th Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life ---no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.36. The diaries above show the writer’s ______ days in Thailand.A. 3B. 7C. 15D. 3037. It seems that visitors _________ in Bangkok.A. often feel hungryB. can always find cheap thingsC. can’t take any photosD. can enjoy themselves38. The best title of this article is_________.A. My First TravelB. The Outside WorldC. Traveling in ThailandD. A Country on the Train39.The people in the village _______.A. are friendly to othersB. like to speak EnglishC. are very weakD. hope to live in the citiesBWhat do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers (制造商) to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream—as well as for developing over 75 flavors (口味).Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No—there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains: “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir (搅拌) it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Dose the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy---working at one cool job.40. What is John Harrison’s job?A. An official.B. An ice-cream taster.C. A chemist.D. An ice-cream manufacturer.41. According to John Harrison, to be qualified（合格的）in the “cool field”, it is helpful to ________.A. keep a diary of workB. have a degree in related subjectsC. have new ideas every dayD. find out new flavor each day42. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?A. He stirs the ice cream.B. He examines the color of the ice cream.C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.D. He lets the ice cream warm up.43. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A. Tasting with EyesB. Flavors of Ice CreamC. John Harrison’s LifeD. One Cool JobCWe know the westerners like to plan for their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them. So if your American or English friend asks you to dinner, he usually invites you a week ahead. But if you really have no time and can't go to the dinner, you can ring him to say sorry. The dinner is usually served at home, sometimes at a restaurant. You should get there on time, and don't forget to put on your fine clothes. It is also a good idea to take some little presents to your friend, such as flowers, chocolates and so on. When you are at dinner, you should also observe (遵守) some other customs. Here I'll give you some dos and don'ts about them in the following: 1) Don't leave bones on the table or the floor.

It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind of football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering (mountain climbing).Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with much surprise. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This surprise is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity in which men relax themselves.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods. If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbe rs, but when climbers are on a rock face joined by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is clearly teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is no unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.36. The main difference between a sport and a game lies in _______.A. uniformB. rulesC. activityD. skills37. Mountaineering is also a team sport because ________.A. it connects to rulesB. it is about matches between teamsC. it needs mental and physical qualitiesD. mountaineers depend on each other while climbing38. Which of the following statements is true? ________A. Mountaineers fight against nature.B. Mountaineers fight against other teams.C. Mountaineers fight against each other.D. Mountaineers fight against international standard.39. The best title for this passage will be _________.A. My favorite mountaineeringB. The required skills of mountain climbingC. Dangerous but attractive mountaineeringD. A sport proper for the old and the youngBHaving friends may well keep you healthier and help you deal with stress(压力)better. Some studies show that people with close friends have a greater ability to fight disease than people who are alone. Make friendship a priority(优先). Find the time to be with friends even if it means letting the lawnmower(剪草机) go unmoving or the dishes unwashed for a while. When you can’t get together， use the phone to keep in touch.Open up to close friends. Keeping a deep friendship requires a level of“heartfelt intimacy(亲密)”. Don’t be afraid to express your inner fears and disappointments. Listen to your friends when they have problems, but offer advice only when it’s wanted. Help raise friends’ self-esteem(自尊) when they are shaken by a job loss，or other such events.Have different friends for different activities，such as going to the movies， singing in a choir， and joining in a bowling league.Don’t wait for a friend to ask a help. When a friend has the flu, offer to go to the store or drive his or her, children to their after-school activities.Never take a friendship for granted. Like a good marriage, friendship needs care and patience. Become a joiner. Find a group that matches your interests.Talk to strangers. Conversations started in museums，laundry rooms，or bookstores can lead to firm friendships.Enroll in an adult-education course. A classroom is an ideal place to meet others with similar interests.40. People with dose friends have a ability to fight disease than people who are alone.A. lessB. greaterC. poorerD. little41. According to the passage，you’d better offer advice to your friends .A. at any momentB. only when they are happyC. only when they want itD. only when you are glad42. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. You should have different friends for the same activities.B. You should wait for a friend to ask a help.C. You should not talk with strangers in museums, laundry rooms or bookstores.D. You should never take a friendship for granted.43. The underlined word "Enroll" in the last paragraph means .A. giveB. JoinC. catchD. getCIn the US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now, Wuhan University has invented another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit(IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tones of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they’re still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.“It’s a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students’ suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they’ve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 minutes to an hour in the bathhouse. Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10-20 minutes is enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes. A similar system has been installed inother universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower.44. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Having finished bathing, the student has to pay for it.B. The clock times all through while the student is bathing except when the bather paused for soap.C. If money runs out, there will be no water.D. Students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower.45. The underlined word “flaw” (Paragraph3) most probably means_______________.A. perfectionB. advantageC. pityD. fault46. It can be inferred from the passage that_________________.A. the new operation can solve the water crisisB. the new operation can raise students’ environmental awarenessC. a similar operation has been set in other universitiesD. the university has saved a lot of water by using the new systemDIf there is one thing I’m quite sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we still be reading newspapers. Not those newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of the news from the television or have the radio switched on in the background or in the car. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The basic British character won’t change, and one of the characteristics of the British is that we don’t much like talking to each other when we get up. So what better way is there to keep yourself thinking in the morning than to wrap yourself in a newspaper?Over the past couple of centuries, human beings have developed a close relationship with the newspaper. It has become as natural as breathing or enjoying the sun. And it is not just the British who love newspapers. On suburban trains in Calcutta, for instance, just one person in the whole car will buy a newspaper and read aloud the best bits to his fellow passengers,much to everybody’s enjoyment.The nature of what is news may change. What essentially makes news is what affects our lives and the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering. In the future I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do, whether it’s love or depression. We develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It’s quite possi ble that in the next century newspaper will be transmitted(传送) electronically from the national equivalents of Fleet Street (伦敦的舰队街，以报馆集中而著称) and printed out in our own homes. In fact, I’m pretty sure that that is how it will happen in future. You’ll be probably selecting from a menu, making up your own bespoke newspaper by picking out the things you want to read and say. You might even have an intelligent screening device (装置) to do the job for you.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about the competition between the different media. They actually have a relationship, feeding off each other. It was once predicted that television would kill off newspapers, which hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page is more enduring (持久的) than pictures on a flickering screen or sound lost in the sky. And as for the Internet, it’s never really satisfying to read something just on a screen.47. The author of the passage is most probably from _______________.A. RussiaB. IndiaC. BritainD. America48. According to the passage, the future of newspapers ____________.A. will be mainly connected with scientific researchB. will report more important political activitiesC. will directly cover more on scientific researchD. will build a bridge between different people49. The underlined part “bespoke newspaper” of the passage probably refers to_____________.A. a newspaper which dares to report the truthB. a newspaper edited to one’s own interestC. a newspaper edited and published for the publicD. a newspaper which only covers the life of family members50. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. It was centuries ago that newspapers came into being .B. Televisions have taken the place of newspapers .C. The Internet will gradually take the place of newspapers.D. The nature of news may remain the same over generations.四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The Walt Disney Company announced that it plans to advertise only healthier foods to kid.By 2015, all food and drink products that are advertised on its TV channels, radio stations and websites will have to meet the company’s nutrition standard for limiting calories and reducing fat, sodium and sugar. Many foods, such as fruit drinks, candy and snack cakes, won’t meet the standard.First Lady Michelle Obama called it a “game changer”. “Disney is doing what no major media company has ever done before in the US – and what I hope every company will do in the futu re.”“This is a landmark（里程碑）, because a major media company is taking responsibility for what food they advertise to children,” says Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy for the Center for Science in the Public Interest. “This should be a real wake-up call to Nickelodeon(an American children’s channel) and the Cartoon Network to do the same.”But the company will still be able to advertise “better-for-you versions （种类）of products that are not perfectly nutritious.” Under the new standards, breakfast cereals that are advertised will have to contain fewer than 10 grams of sugar in a serving, Wootan says. “That’s a good step forward, but it’s not perfectly nutritious.”Jon Leibowitz, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, says Disney is making this mov e “at perhaps some risk of affecting their incomes, so that’s why we should praise them.”Food marketing is really “important because it shapes the way kids are fed,” Wootan says. “If we don’t deal with food marketing to kids, we don’t have any chance of a ddressing childhood obesity.”Currently, a third of children are overweight, putting them at a greater risk for serious health problems.At its theme parks, Disney began offering healthier kids’ meals, serving carrots and other vegetables, fruits, low-fat milk and yogurt at meals, instead of fries and soft drinks.40. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to __________.A. the wake-up callB. the Walt Disney CompanyC. the habit of eating junk foodD. the nutrition standard in the US41. What does Margo Wootan think of Disney’s new move?A. He thinks it is a risk.B. He thinks very highly of it.C. He thinks it will get wide support.D. He thinks it will affect theirincome.42. According to Disney’s new standards, ________.A. soft drinks are not allowed to be advertisedB. foods that are advertised should be fat-freeC. only perfectly nutritious products can be advertisedD. foods advertised should contain fewer than 10 grams of sugar43. What is the main idea of the text?A. Disney calls for a ban on junk food.B. Disney aims to help kids lose weight.C. Disney is to serve healthier food for kids.D. Disney is to quit taking ads for junk food aimed at kids.CI just finished the household chores for the night and was preparing to go to bed，when I heard a noise in the front of the house. I opened the door to the front room and to my surprise，Santa himself stepped out from behind the Christmas tree.He placed his finger over his mouth so I would not cry out. “What are you doing?” I starte d to ask. The words choked up in my throat，and I saw he had tears in his eyes. His usual jolly manner was gone. Gone was the eager, boisterous soul we all know.He then answered me with a simple statement“TEACH THE CHILDREN！”I was puzzled; what did he mean?Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a FIR(杉木) TREE .“Teach the children that the pure green color of the stately fir tree remains green all year round，describing the everlasting hope of mankind，all the needles point heavenward，makin g it a symbol of man's thoughts turning toward heaven.”He again reached into his bag and pulled out a brilliant STAR. “Teach the children that the star was the heavenly sign of promises long ago. God promised a savior(救世主) for the world，and the star was the sign of fulfillment of his promise.”He then reached into his bag and pulled out a CANDLE. “Teach the children that the candle symbolizes that Christ is the light of the world，and when we see this great light we are reminded of he who displaces(取代) the darkness.”Suddenly I heard a soft twinkling sound，and from his bag he pulled out a BELL. “Teach the children that as the lost sheep are found by the sound of the bell，it should ring mankind to the fold. The bell symbolizes guidance and return.”Santa looked back and was pleased. I saw that the twinkle was back in his eyes. He said，“Remember，teach the children the true meaning of Christmas and do not put me in the center，for I am but an humble servant of the one that is, and I bow down to wor ship HIM, our LORD, our GOD.”44.

Without taking time to reflect, I answered, "Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone's life．" Even though I was sincere, that wasn't a very good answer and my student didn't let it slide．"Let me get this straight," he said, "You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?" He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused．I'm one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty．Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when 1 wonder．On those days．I remind myself of the real reasons why I teach: It's in my blood．My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990．She instilled （逐渐灌输） in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors．Teaching is a way to make a difference．If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore．You can't have ripples without a "stone．" Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that's what I strive （努力） to do．I genuinely love teenagers．I want to share with others what 1 know and what I have learned through the years．Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes （路面坑洼） on the road of life, I want to do so．If they'll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too．Teaching isn't for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice．47．What is the answer that the author gives to her student to the question why she teaches?A．She loves teenagers．B．Her mother influenced her a lot．C．She thinks something she said might make a difference to her students．D．She wants to share her knowledge with others．48．Why did the author's student shake her head and walk away when he got the reply?A．He thought the author's answer is smart and witty．B．He felt angry at the author's answer．C．He didn't want to talk about the question with the author any more．D．The author's reply made him feel confused．49．It can be inferred from the text that _____．A．it was her mother who asked her to be a teacherB．the writer devotes herself to teaching and her studentsC．students of the writer all have great achievementsD．the writer took up teaching with the aim of changing others' life 50．The writer mentioned "stone" in paragraph 5 in order to _____．A．tell everyone to throw stones in the riverB．express that teachers should have some positive influence on their studentsC．convey that every teacher can make a good difference to their studentsD．prove that stones can make some ripples in the river四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Many foods, such as fruit drinks, candy and snack cakes, won’t meet the standard.First Lady Michelle Obama called it a “game changer”. “Disney is doing what no major media company has ever done before in the US – and what I hope every company will do in the futu re.”“This is a landmark（里程碑）, because a major media company is taking responsibility for what food they advertise to children,” says Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy for the Center for Science in the Public Interest. “This should be a real wake-up call to Nickelodeon(an American children’s channel) and the Cartoon Network to do the same.”But the company will still be able to advertise “better-for-you versions （种类）of products that are not perfectly nutritious.” Under the new standards, breakfast cereals that are advertised will have to contain fewer than 10 grams of sugar in a serving, Wootan says. “That’s a good step forward, but it’s not perfectly nutritious.”Jon Leibowitz, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, says Disney is making this mov e “at perhaps some risk of affecting their incomes, so that’s why we should praise them.”Food marketing is really “important because it shapes the way kids are fed,” Wootan says. “If we don’t deal with food marketing to kids, we don’t have any chance of a ddressing childhood obesity.”Currently, a third of children are overweight, putting them at a greater risk for serious health problems.At its theme parks, Disney began offering healthier kids’ meals, serving carrots and other vegetables, fruits, low-fat milk and yogurt at meals, instead of fries and soft drinks.40. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to __________.A. the wake-up callB. the Walt Disney CompanyC. the habit of eating junk foodD. the nutrition standard in the US41. What does Margo Wootan think of Disney’s new move?A. He thinks it is a risk.B. He thinks very highly of it.C. He thinks it will get wide support.D. He thinks it will affect theirincome.42. According to Disney’s new standards, ________.A. soft drinks are not allowed to be advertisedB. foods that are advertised should be fat-freeC. only perfectly nutritious products can be advertisedD. foods advertised should contain fewer than 10 grams of sugar43. What is the main idea of the text?A. Disney calls for a ban on junk food.B. Disney aims to help kids lose weight.C. Disney is to serve healthier food for kids.D. Disney is to quit taking ads for junk food aimed at kids.CI just finished the household chores for the night and was preparing to go to bed，when I heard a noise in the front of the house. I opened the door to the front room and to my surprise，Santa himself stepped out from behind the Christmas tree.He placed his finger over his mouth so I would not cry out. “What are you doing?” I starte d to ask. The words choked up in my throat，and I saw he had tears in his eyes. His usual jolly manner was gone. Gone was the eager, boisterous soul we all know.He then answered me with a simple statement“TEACH THE CHILDREN！”I was puzzled; what did he mean?Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a FIR(杉木) TREE .“Teach the children that the pure green color of the stately fir tree remains green all year round，describing the everlasting hope of mankind，all the needles point heavenward，makin g it a symbol of man's thoughts turning toward heaven.”He again reached into his bag and pulled out a brilliant STAR. “Teach the children that the star was the heavenly sign of promises long ago. God promised a savior(救世主) for the world，and the star was the sign of fulfillment of his promise.”He then reached into his bag and pulled out a CANDLE. “Teach the children that the candle symbolizes that Christ is the light of the world，and when we see this great light we are reminded of he who displaces(取代) the darkness.”Suddenly I heard a soft twinkling sound，and from his bag he pulled out a BELL. “Teach the children that as the lost sheep are found by the sound of the bell，it should ring mankind to the fold. The bell symbolizes guidance and return.”Santa looked back and was pleased. I saw that the twinkle was back in his eyes. He said，“Remember，teach the children the true meaning of Christmas and do not put me in the center，for I am but an humble servant of the one that is, and I bow down to wor ship HIM, our LORD, our GOD.”44.

What does the underline d word “twinkle” refer to?A. Tears.B. Smiles.C. Glasses.D. Eyes.DMany years ago my student asked me the question, "Mrs．Kindred, why do you teach?" Without taking time to reflect, I answered, "Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone's life．" Even though I was sincere, that wasn't a very good answer and my student didn't let it slide．"Let me get this straight," he said, "You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?" He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused．I'm one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty．Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when 1 wonder．On those days．I remind myself of the real reasons why I teach: It's in my blood．My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990．She instilled （逐渐灌输） in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors．Teaching is a way to make a difference．If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore．You can't have ripples without a "stone．" Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that's what I strive （努力） to do．I genuinely love teenagers．I want to share with others what 1 know and what I have learned through the years．Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes （路面坑洼） on the road of life, I want to do so．If they'll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too．Teaching isn't for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice．47．What is the answer that the author gives to her student to the question why she teaches?A．She loves teenagers．B．Her mother influenced her a lot．C．She thinks something she said might make a difference to her students．D．She wants to share her knowledge with others．48．Why did the author's student shake her head and walk away when he got the reply?A．He thought the author's answer is smart and witty．B．He felt angry at the author's answer．C．He didn't want to talk about the question with the author any more．D．The author's reply made him feel confused．49．It can be inferred from the text that _____．A．it was her mother who asked her to be a teacherB．the writer devotes herself to teaching and her studentsC．students of the writer all have great achievementsD．the writer took up teaching with the aim of changing others' life 50．The writer mentioned "stone" in paragraph 5 in order to _____．A．tell everyone to throw stones in the riverB．express that teachers should have some positive influence on their studentsC．convey that every teacher can make a good difference to their studentsD．prove that stones can make some ripples in the river四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Mailing your entry on October 30.BI have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as Ican remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old .It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.I always read, using different voices, as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it! It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books.Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation.As a novelist, I've found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can't afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.4. Which word best describes the author's relationship with books as a child?A. cooperative.B. uneasy.C. inseparable.D. casual.5. What does the underlined phrase "an added meaning" in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Pleasure from working in the library.B. Joy of reading passed on in the family.C. Wonderment from acting out the stories.D.A closer bond developed with the readers.6. What does the author call on other writers to do?A. sponsor book fairs.B. write for social media.C. support libraries.D. purchase her novels.7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Reading: A Source of KnowledgeB. My Idea about WritingC. Library: A Haven for the YoungD. My Love of the LibraryCThe Little Baby Face Foundation(LBFF)is an NYC-based nonprofit organization with a great deal of controversy. Founded in 2002, it provides free plastic surgery for children born with facial deformities(畸形). Many teenagers who have been teased for their looks are now applying to have their problem areas “fixed” by LBFF.Nadia, one 14-year-old teenager, had her face greatly changed in June when she went under the knife. Her classmates had been constantly making fun of her appearance. “They said I have the biggest ears that they’ve ever seen. They called me elephant ears,” Nadia said. Those comments hurt her a lo t. She even considered how to end her own life.But Nadia tried to keep the bullying a secret from her mother, Lynda. Her mother was already dealing with mounting medical bills for her 9-year-old son, Josh, who had a serious brain disease. When her mother did finally find out about the bullying, she was heartbroken.Nadia decided to end her bullying problems with plastic surgery. Then her mother turned to the LBFF, which accepted Nadia’ s application. The surgeries were very painful and it took months for her face to heal, but she did manage to return to school with a new face, a face she was finally proud of.Nadia’s surgery may have helped her overcome her emotional pain, but should teenagers go to those extremes just because they are being bullied?Experts warn if the deformities are not really a problem to the child, plastic surgery is not the answer! In fact, when a teen decides to get plastic surgery because he or she is being bullied, it can send the wrong message. By surgically changing the victim of a bully, it is as if you support the bullying and agree the victim is in fact worthy of all those names he or she has been called. It is like saying to teenagers: “Yes, there is something wrong with you, and you should get it fixed!”8. What did Nadia think of her school life in the past?A. Busy.B. Exciting.C. Miserable.D. Ordinary.9. Why did Nadia keep the secret from her mother?A. Her mother had heart disease.B. She didn’t want to burden her.C. Her mother was afraid of being bullied.D. She did n’t know how to share it withher.10. Why does the author say plastic surgery can send the wrong message?A. It may let bullies feel they are right.B. Itmay become popular among teens.C. It may damage the name of the LBFF.D. It may change victims into bullies.11. What would be the best title for the text?A. Why many teenagers are being teased?B. Is plastic surgery the answer to bullying?C. Why surgery helps overcome emotional pain?D. Should we pay more attention to appearance?DThe connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown,Ohio, for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) have taken it a step further-changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse, even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they're short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. "We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day," explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.One of his latest projects has been to make plants grow(发光) in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano's team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light, about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by, is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn tree into self-powered street lamps.In the future, the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant's lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off "switch" where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)—such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.12. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?A. They must run long distances.B. They are qualified for the marathon.C. They have to follow special rules.D. They are good at swinging their legs.13. What advantage does race walking have over running?A. It’s more popular at the Olympics.B. It’s less challenging physically.C. It’s more effective in body building.D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.14. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?A. Getting experts’ opinions.B. Having a medical checkup.C. Hiring an experienced coach.D. Doing regular exercises.15. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?A. Skeptical.B. Objective.C. Tolerant.D. Conservative.二、七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If youhave to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to goinside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time,make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, andplenty of non-frozen water.If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search forwarm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch themclosely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of goodquality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize thata water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animalsthat don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, whichmay contain something unhealthy for them.36. What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?A.

What is the purpose of this text?A. To solve a problem.B. To give practical advice.C. To tell an interesting story.D. To present a research result.B.A “blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet computer Website called a “blog”. The word“blog” is a short way of saying web log, or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like.There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas to many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write their ideas and react to the ideas of others.A research company called Perseus has studied more than 3,000 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs. And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended. Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service, . He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago, and thousands of people had written on it.One blog that is still going strong is called Re becca’s Pocket. It involves much useful information for readers. Rebecca Blood created the Web site in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called “The Weblog Handbook”. It has been translated into four languages so far.Ms Blood says Rebecca’s Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything----politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from online bank accounts.40. From the text we can learn that blogs cover almost everything except ___.A. account codesB. medical adviceC. advertisementsD. different ideas41.Which of the following statements is not true based on the passage ?A. A “bloggers’ is a person who writes on an Internet computer Website called a “blog”.B. Millions of blogs provide news, information, ideas and stories to many people .C. Some people use serious blogs to express political and other ideas.D. Rebecca Blood created the Wed site in 1999 and wrote about the history of blogs on the site .42. The reason why Rebecca’s Pocket is still going strong is that ____.A. it was created by a womanB. it is about the history of booksC. it provides plenty of useful information and adviceD. it has editions in at least four different languages43. The text is written mainly to ____.A. introduce an Internet computer Web site called “blog”B. introduce a way of reading on blogsC. tell readers about blogsD. tell readers how to write blogsCDear Daisy,Phew! I’m so glad that day is over. I was so worried all summer that my first day at my new school would be terrible.I’m really tired, but my first day at school went well and I feel much better now.First of all, we had to meet outside the school building. I was very nervous because my primary school only had 300 pupils but in the secondary school there are about 1,300. What a difference! The older pupils are really big. I felt so small waiting there in front of the school.The other problem was that I didn’t know anyone. My family moved over the summer holidays, because of Dad’s new job. So now I have to try to make some new friends. Standing in front of the school this morning, I wanted to be back at my old school with my old friends.The head teacher came out and told us to go into the school hall. Then he called our names out to tell us which class we were in. My class teacher is called Mrs. Black. She took us to our classroo m. It’s on the 5th floor and … guess what? ... We aren’t allowed to use the lift. I couldn’t believe it.When we were walking up all the stairs I started talking to another boy who didn’t know anyone. He said his family had moved from Hong Kong over the summer. He seemed really nice so we sat together when we got to our classroom, out of breath! He said his English was very poor but I thought it was really good.We spent all morning with Mrs. Black looking at our timetables. Everyone in the school has a different timetable—can you believe it? Half of the school is learning Spanish as a second language and the other half learns French. I’m in the Spanish group, which sounds like fun. I’m worried that I’ll forget mytimetable and go to the wrong room! How will anyone help me if nobody else has the same timetable as me?Lunchtime was OK. After lunch we started lessons. I had maths, which was complicated and difficult and then history, where we started to learn about ancient Greece. That looks interesting. I have to do some homework tonight to find out how the ancient Greek people lived.So far so good. I’m quite looking forward to tomorrow, even though I’ve got science. I hate science!Jason44. How did the author feel on the first day at his new school?A. Terrible.B. Good.C. Worried.D. Funny.45. The head teacher came to ______.A. tell the students which class they were inB. give the students a timetableC. show the students how to use the liftD. tell the students what language they would learn46. What does the author think of ‘Everyone in the school has a different timetable.’?A. He liked this very much.B. He was worried about this.C. He liked this a bit.D. He couldn’t understand the timetable.D.Living abroad to study can certainly be an interesting experience but is that alone a good enough reason for spending years far away from home? To make the experience truly worthwhile, there has to be a goal behind the decision to study abroad. This may be a wish to perfect language skills in a foreign language environment, or a clever move in your career development. You must also consider the costs, not just of living and studying abroad, but of applying. Most universities now charge application fees for international students.If after considering these points you are sure that you want to apply to study abroad, your next step is to choose the right programme of studies. Research your choices and select carefully. You must do your homework well. Most universities have information online but you can also email and ask them to send you more details. You can find a lot of information on school ranking from education websites. But read carefully. Different universities emphasize different s trengths. Don’t just think about the university’s reputation (名声); look for the most suitable for your goals.Next, you must deal with a large pile of paperwork. This involves fillingin application form, preparing your school records, and getting reference letters. Reading the instructions and requirements of the universities carefully is of great importance. Sadly, many fine applicants get kicked out in the first round, simply because they don’t follow the application procedure properly.Money is another important consideration.

C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑A“Fingers were made before forks.” When a person gives up good manners, put aside knife and fork, and dives into his food, someone is likely to repeat that saying.The fork was an ancient agricultural tool, but for centuries no one thought of eating with it. Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was wide-spread in Italy. The English explanation was that Italians were unwilling to eat food touched with fingers, “seeing all men’s fingers are not alike clean.Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years. Not until the late 1600’s did using a fork become a common custom.36. The custom of eating with a fork was ________.A. brought to Europe from AmericaB. begun when forks first inventedC. brought to Europe from ConstantinopleD. thought of by the Italians37. By the fifteenth century, forks were used________.A. all over ItalyB. only in ConstantinopleC. by the kings and queens of EuropeD. in England38. The English thought that Italians used forks in order to________.A. imitate（模仿）the people of the EastB. keep their food cleanC. impress visitors with their good mannersD. amuse (逗笑) the English39. The best title of the passage is “_________’.A. Eating with a ForkB. The History of Eating with a ForkC. A Way of EatingD. A Custom of EatingBDo you love the holidays, but hate gaining weight? You are not alone. Holidays are times for feasting and celebrating. Many people are worried about their weight. With proper planning, though, it is possible to keep normal weight during the holidays. Whether it is celebrating at the office party or sitting down for the traditional family dinner, you should regard eating as a chance for tasting a variety of foods. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don’t have to turn away from the food s that you enjoy. Here are some tips for preventing weight gain and maintaining/keeping physical fitness:Don’t skip meals. Before you leave home, have a small, low-fat meal or snack. This may help to avoid getting too excited before delicious foods.Control amount of food. Use a small plate (about 10 inches) and put aside the large ones that may encourage you to “load up”. You should be most comfortable eating an amount of food about the size of your fist. Once you have your “tasting” serving, move away from the buffet (自助餐). This helps to prevent eating again and again as your appetite (胃口) is inspired by the sight of food.Begin with soup and fruit or vegetables. Fill up beforehand on water-based soup and raw fruit or vegetables. Or drink a large glass of water before you eat to help you to feel full.Stick to physical activity. Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help to burn off excess calories.Avoid high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy may have a large amount of fat. Choose lean meat (瘦肉). Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. Use lemon juice instead of creamy food.40.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. You should never eat delicious foods.B. Drinking some water or soup before eating helps you to eat less.C. Holidays are happy days but they may bring you weight problems.D. Physical exercise can reduce the chance of putting on weight.41. Which of the following can NOT help people to lose weight according to thepassage?A. Eating lean meat.B. Creamy food.C. Eating raw fruit or vegetables.D. Physical exercise.42. Many people can’t control their weight during the holidays mainly because they ________.A. can’t help being tempted to eat constantlyB. take part in too many partiesC. enjoy delicious foods sometimesD. can’t help turning away from foods43. If the passage appeared in a newspaper, which section/part is the most suitable one?A. Holidays and Festivals section.B. Student Times Club section.C. Fashion section.D. Health and Fitness section.CLast year college students in America spent an estimated $700 on textbooks on average. The National Association of College Stores reported more than five billion dollars in sales of textbooks and course materials.The association spokesman Charles Schmidt says electronic textbooks now just make up 2%～3% of sales. But he says that is expected to reach 10%～15% by 2012.Online versions(版本) are now available for many of the most popular college textbooks. An etextbook can cost half the price of a new print textbook. But students usually lose access to them after the end of the term. And the books cannot be placed on more than one device(设备)，so they are not easy to share.So what do students think of etextbooks？Administrators at Northwest Missouri State University wanted to find it out. Earlier this year they tested them with 500 students in 20 classes.The university is unusual. It provides laptop computers for all 7,000 of its fulltime students. It does not require students to buy their textbooks either. They rent them to save money. The school aims to save even more by moving to etextbooks.The students in the survey reported that downloading the books from the Internet was easy. They liked the idea of carrying lighter backpacks. And 56% said they were better able to find information.But most found that using etextbooks did not change their study habits. And 60% felt they read more when they were reading on paper. In all，almost half the students said they still liked physical textbooks better.But the survey found that cost could be a big influence.55% said they would choose etextbooks if using them meant their textbook rental f ee would not increase.Roger Von Holzen heads the Center for Information Technology in Education at Northwest Missouri State University. He tells us that administrators are disappointed with the etextbooks now available because the majority are not interactive(交互式的)．He thinks growth will come when more digital books include video，activities，games and other ways to interact with the information. The technology is improving. But for now，most of the books are just words on a screen.44．Etextbooks are not be tter than paper books in that________.A．they cost more money B．they’re difficult to carryC．they’re not convenient to share D．they can’t be downloaded from the Internet45．How many surveyed students think paper books make better reading?A．60%. B．56%. C．55%. D．50%.46．It can be inferred from the text that in the future________.A．digital books will be more popularB．the digital books available need improvementC．free digital books are available onlineD．digital books will replace print textbooksCScotland is a well-developed tourist destination, with tourism generally being responsible for sustaining 200, 000 jobs mainly in the service sector, with tourist spending averaging at £4 bn per year. Tourists from the United Kingdom make up the bulk (主体) of visitors to Scotland. In 2002, for example, UK visitors made 18.5 million visits to Scotland, staying 64.5 million nights and spending £3.7 bn. In contrast, overseas residents made 1.58 million visits to Scotland, staying 15 million nights and spending £806 m. In terms of overseas visitors, those from the United States made up 24% of visits to Scotland, with the United States being the largest source of overseas visitors, and Germany (9%), France (8%), Canada (7%) and Australia (6%), following behind.Scotland is generally seen as clean, unspoilt destination with beautiful scenery which has a long and complex history, combined with thousands of historic sites and attractions. These include prehistoric stone circles, standing stones and burial chambers, and various Bronze Age, Iron Age and Stone Age remains. There are also many historic castles, houses, and battlegrounds, ruins and museums. Many people are drawn by the culture of Scotland.The cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow are increasingly being seen as a cosmopolitan（全世界的）alternative to Scotland’s countryside, with visitors year round, but the main tourist season is generally from April to October inclusive. In addition to these factors, the national tourist agency, Visit Scotland, have deployed a strategy of niche (适当的) marketing, aimed at exploiting, amongst other things, Scotland’s strengths in golf, fishing and food and drink tourism. Another significant, and increasingly popular reason for tourism to Scotland —especially by those from North America—is genealogy, with many visitors coming to Scotland to explore their family and ancestral roots.47．People from ________ visited Scotland most.A. the USAB. FranceC. the UKD. Germany48．For Chinese students, the best time to visit Scotland is in ________.A. the Spring FestivalB. the winter vocationC. the summer vacationD. any time49．Scotland mainly impresses tourists with its ________.A. food and drinkB. beautiful scenery with cultural relicsC. big cities like EdinburghD. many North Americans’ family and ancestral roots50．In 2002, visitors from the US made about ________ visits to Scotland.A. 18.5 mB. 1.58 mC. 4.45 mD. 0.38 m四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
