I ' d always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me tomfoyllpoawssion.I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an evenbetter idea for someone who didn ' t already have a good job. f That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but finally, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn would regret trying and failing.After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I ' m proud ofthat choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.21.

What was that? She thought. As she drove up to the scene, she saw a half-submerged car sinking about 30 yards offshore. “ It was going down pretty quikciknlsyo, n recalls. Sh ”e stopped the car near the boat ramp and ran toward the water. Water is going to becold, she thought.She took off her vest （马甲）and leather boots, got into the icy water, and swam to the car,where she found Cameron Dorsey, five, trapped into his car as the swirling water rose around him.Hawkinson tried to open the door, but it was locked. So she pushed and pulled hard on thepartially open window until she could reach through and unlock the door. She pulled the boy free,swam to shore, and handed him off to onlookers who were only watching them on a dock. The driver,the boy ' s si 自杀的）father, swam back to land on his own. Afterward, Hawkinson sat on the shorewrapped in a blanket. “For ten or 15 minutes, I couldn ' There ' nsothing visibly extraordinary aboit Melissa Hawkinson, an energetic stay-at-home mom with brown hair and aHaw t stop shaking,sweet smile. Yet something made her different from the dockside onlookers that day. Why do some people act quickly, willing to take a risk for a stranger? What makes them run toward danger rather than away from it? What makes them brave?Moreover, can bravery be learned, or is it a quality with which you are born? The answer is complex. Bravery taps the mind, brain and heart. It comes from instinct, training and sympathy. Today, neurologists, psychologists and other researchers are studying bravery, trying to uncover the mystery.25.

Experts say the amount of carbonated soft drinks we consume（消费） is grow ing. New research from the America n Heart Associatio n finds that drinking soda, even diet soda, may sig ni fica ntly in crease your risk for heartdisease. Dr. Ramacha ndra n Vasa n led the study. "Dri nking just one or more sodas a day may not be as innocuous as people thin k."In a large study of 9,000 people, doctors discovered that those who drank one or more sodas a day had a 30% in creased risk for obesity（肥胖）,a 25% in crease in the risk for abno rmal（勻非正常的）blood sugar levels, and a 32% in crease in the odds of havi ng low levels of good cholesterol（胆固醇）.All of these factors in crease the risk for heart disease. And there was no differe nce in the results for those who drank diet soda or regular soda. It ' something that surprised even the researchers.Critics of the study say diet soda may not be the cause of in creased risk of heart disease. Conn ie Diekma n is preside nt of the America n Dietetic Associati on. "It does n ot con clusively say that this will cause that."In other words, it could be that un healthy people like soda. Dr. Vasa n found those who drink soda gen erally tend to have greater caloric in take. They eat more saturated fat and trans fats. They also eat less fiber and exercise less. Diet soda drinkers may also share this unhealthy lifestyle. Dr. Vasan agrees that the link he found between heart disease risk and diet soda needs additional study.29. The underlined word “ innocuous ” in the first paragraph probably means .A. popular.B. harmless.C. effective.D. risky.30. According to the study, which of the following is true?A. Only people who overdrink sodas have high risk for heart disease.B. In the study, about one quarter of people have high blood level.C. Both regular soda and diet soda may in crease the risk for heart disease.D. Dr. Vasan is the leader of the American Dietetic Association.31. What can be in ferred from the passage above?A. All the experts agree to the conclusion drawn from the study.B. Sodas of any ki nd are certa in to in crease the risk for heart disease.C. All the results of the research meet people ' s expectations.D. More studies are n eeded to prove the con clusi on of the study.Most of the guests who come on our trips have never been to Egypt before. We want to make everyone comfortable and at ease, but we do always get the same questions in advance of trip. So here I will give you some travel tips.What should I wear?If you're lu cky enough to visit Egypt between November and February, pack a sweater. Youn eed it — -he desert gets rather cold at ni ght. During the day, the temperature will be agreeable and comfortable. Any other time, pack as if you're going to Phoenix of Vegas in August. For the ladies, bathing suits are normal if there's a pool where you are going, but leave the string bikini at home--it is a Muslim country, after all. Last, if you are planning on visiting any mosques（清真寺） or certain parts of upper Egypt, ladies will need to plan on bringing something that comes at feast to the elbow（肘部）, and no shorts for men or women in those areas.What special things do I need to pack?One of my favorite things in the world to bring to Egypt is an Evian Mister, a sprayer with a fine mist of Evian water. You may be able to find it in your local drug store. Spray（喷） a little on your face or head, and your body temperature will feel like it's dropped 10 or 15 degrees. Other items include your camera, sun block and extra batteries.How do I communicate with home?Internet cafes are plentiful everywhere, especially in Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria. If you have international calling on your phone, you should be able to use it-AT&T and Sprint both work internationally for sure, but make sure you have the international coverage. A satellite phone is best if you are certain to need coverage in the middle of the country, like while sailing up the Nile, but for most people these days a cell phone is fine.What medical preparation do I need?In a word: none! The one thing you may come down with in Egypt is politely called "Pharoah's Revenge ”T.he thing that gets rid of pharoah's Revenge is a regionally produced medicine, and is available at every drugstore for $1 a box.DON'T drink local water. DO drinkbottled water, avoid the skins of fresh vegetables, and you'll be fine.32. What cloth ing is proper for ladies visit ing a mosque?A. String bik inis.B. Lon g-sleeve clothes.C. Bath ing suits.D. Shorts.33. What' s the use of an Evian Mister?A. To relieve your thirst.B. To preve nt sun bur ns.C. To cool yourself dow n.D. To drive away in sects.34. What in formatio n is provided about dista nee com muni cati on?A. A cell phone is eno ugh for most people.B. AT &T and Sprint offer free service in Egypt.C. A satellite phone doesn ' t worEgyptLidD. Internet cafes are only available in big cities.35. What does “ Pharoah ' s Revenge ” probably refer to in the last paragraph?A.A bless ing.B. An old story.C.A disease.D.A vegetable.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AOne day, Jack told his friend Tom that he loved a very beautiful girl with charming eyes and long hair, and that he wanted to marry her. Tom was so happy to hear the news and asked Jack to lead him to her. However, Tom loved her at first sight, He then told Jack, “This girl is not suitable for you. She deserves a handsome man like m e.” Jack was astonished and struggled with Tom until they went to the police to solve the problem.They told the policeman their story. The policeman asked them to bring the girl to his office. However, when the policeman saw her, he became taken with her and said, “This girl is not suitable for you two. She deserves someone with a status like me.” The three men struggled with each other and then went to the king.The king asked them to bring him the girl. When the king saw the girl, he said, “Oh, the girl should marry a king like me.” They all argued with each other.Then the girl said, “I have a solution. I’m going to run and you’ll run after me I’ll be the wife to the one who catches me first.” The four men all agreed and ran after her. While running afte r her, they suddenly fell into a deep hole. From the top, the girl looked at them and said, “Now, let me tell you who I am.”“I’m Reputation—I’m the on e all people run after. They compete against each other to get me . They leave principles aside to seek f or me , and they are sure to fall like you !”21．What makes the four men love the girl ?A．The girl’s beauty. B．The girl’s reputation.C．The girl’s sm art mind.

In Chinese language, "kuan" means light, and "yew" means glory. So, Lee Kuan Yew means Lee the "light and glory".Singapore's glory since its rebirth in 1965 has been a miracle, largely because of the light of Lee. By 1978, the transformation of Singapore into a modern city-state had become an inspiration for Deng Xiaoping, who having just emerged as the paramount leader of China was looking for a way to lead the country out ofisolation and poverty. Drawing inspiration from Lee and the success story of Singapore, Deng visited the city-state in 1978 and met with Lee for the first time. Lee said that if Singaporeans can do it, China can also do it.Soon after returning from Singapore, Deng launched a series of reforms in China. Over the subsequent decades, China has continued the reform and opening-up and it is now the second-largest economy in the world. Perhaps it could be said that part of the plan for China's great reform and transformation took shape in Singapore in 1978 during Deng's meetings with Lee. Ever since that fateful visit, China has learned from Singapore the finer points of governance, management and economic growth. No wonder, over the years China has sent many Party, government and corporate officials to receive training in Singapore.In 1994, the Singapore Industrial Park in Suzhou, Jiangsu province (now renamed the Suzhou Industrial Park) was set up. Over the years, the industrial park has become a testing ground for many new reform programs in China, including those for social security, venture capital and private equity.More recently, President Xi Jinping emphasized that China can still learn many things from Singapore.Today, many people talk about the 21st century being the "Asian century" or the "Asia-Pacific century", while others have started talking of the "Asian dream". But Lee was one of the first Asians who truly stood out and demonstrated to the world that Asians can make a difference in terms of global growth and development. Lee's legacy is based on a solid and healthy dosage of pragmatism, realism, innovation, and commitment to making a better tomorrow.After 50 years of constant innovation and ceaseless efforts, Singapore is the most developed country among the 10 ASEAN member states, one of the most developed countries in Asia and one of the most successful economies in the world. Rather than being caught up in the day-to-day travails, Lee always chose to stand on the top of the mountain and look beyond the horizon to see deep into the future, which made him a leader of wisdom, courage and vision.24. According to the passage, we can know ___________.A. Few people know the true meaning of “ Kuan Yew” in the worldB. The transformation of Singapore started in 1978C. Deng xiaoping paid a visit to Singapore in 1978 because of the good relationshipD. Deng Xiaoping had never met with Lee Kuan Yew before 197825. The following statements are true EXCEPT_____.A. the successful experience of Singapore has greatly influenced china’s reform and transformationB. the Suzhou Industrial Park has tried many new reform programs in ChinaC. the Asians made few contributions to the global growth and developmentD. constant innovation and ceaseless efforts make Singapore one of the most developed countries in Asia26. what adjectives can be used to describe Lee Kuan Yew according to the passage?①distinguished ②wise ③easy-going ④brave ⑤creative⑥visionaryA . ①②④⑥ B. ②③⑤⑥ C. ①③⑤⑥ D. ②③④⑤27 .which of the following is the best title of the passage ?A. the contributions of Lee Kuan Yew made to chinaB. the story of a great leader--- Lee Kuan YewC. the relationship between Lee Kuan Yew and Chinese leadersD. 'Light and glory' of Asia example to worldCLast August, 1 traveled with a group of volunteers to Tres de Mayo, a small community near Tela，Honduras to help renovate （整修）a community centre, and I often could not help but think about the hardships they faced day to day, all factors considered to place children at risk for problems later in life．During my stay there, I had plenty of opportunities to interact and work with local children．One young boy in particular，Javier, 17, stood out for me. Later I realized that his father had left a year earlier for the U.S , and the family had not heard from him since then. Lacking of money, his mother had to find work elsewhere, but unfortunately could not afford to take all four children, so Javier with his little brother was left behind.Many of the children we met in Tres de Mayo were in similar situations. But the children tried their best to help out with the construction, and the building of this centre served as an important opportunity for them to learn from the adults·I still remember the look in Javier’s eyes, as they welled up with tears when we told him we were leaving. One of the volunteers held him close, but it did little to console him，because he had already experienced so much loss, and it was hard to realize that our departure was adding to the list.As I looked beyond Javier, I could see many men and women whom Javier looked up to, depended on, and gathered strengthfrom. I did know that without parents to raise him, he was not left alone. Instead, the adults in the community took the responsibility for the care of their collective young.In many north American cities we barely know our next door neighbors, let alone membersof our community. How can people outside the family possibly play a central role in upbringing(养育)？28.What does the second Paragraph mainly talk about？A. Javier faced a number of challenges that put him at some risks．B. Javier established good relationship with the author and his team．C. Javier shared the same sufferings with other kids in Tres de Mayo．D. Javier had to learn to be independent even since he was a little boy．29.When helping build the community centre, the children______．A . enjoyed staying with each other B. enriched their social experiencesC. received education together with the adultsD. gained some benefits from the elders30.We can replace the underlined word “console” in the fourth paragraph with“______”.A. affectB. comfortC. inspireD. Protect31. From the Passage，we can infer that the author is________.A. optimistic and ambitiousB. energetic and easy-goingC. considerate and responsibleD. determined and adventurousDIf you see a person carelessly throw a cigarette to the ground, what are you likely to think?If you hate p eople throwing things on the ground, you might think, “That person shouldn’t litter.” If you are a smoker, you might think, “I would sure like a cigarette right now.”Most likely, though, you are n ot thinking, “That unused cigarette butt could be used to m ake something amazing!”That is, unless you are a creative scientist. If you are, you may see potential—a possibility—where others simply see trash（垃圾）. That is just what has happened in South Korea.The spirit of invention can hit at the strangest times and in the most unusual places. In South Korea, it happened near a trash can.Kin Gil-Pyo is with the Seoul National University. He says he saw people throwing away cigarette butts, which got him thinking. He began wondering if something useful could be made from them.He and other researchers found a way to convert cigarette butts into materials required for high-performance batteries.Kim Gil-Pyo says they looked closely at used cigarette filters （滤嘴）, the parts of cigarettes smokers put into their mouths. Filters are made of a material called “cellulose acetate（醋酸纤维素）.”Mr. Kim explains that cellulose acetate can be made into another material: carbon. The pieces of cellulose acetate, known as fibers, are changed through a one-step burning process. Afterthis, they are turned into an energy storage material.But why use carbon? Carbon has many qualities that seem to make it the perfect material.Carbon has a high surface area. It conducts electricity well. It also stays stable, unlikely to change, for a long time. And carbon does not cost a lot. All these qualities make it the most popular material for making super-capacitors（超级电容器）.Super-capacitors are good at storing energy. They have high-power mass, or density(密度). They require only a short time for recharging. And they have a long lifecycle. Super-capacitors are used in products such as laptop computers and cell phones. They are also used in industrial energy converters, like wind turbine machines.Combining carbon and super-capacitors seems like a perfect marriage.Kim Gil-Pyo tells the Reuters News Agency that cigarette butts could affect the economy is a huge way. They could prove to be a low-cost source of carbon material. They are so cheap th at smokers throw them to the ground. And you don’t get much cheaper than that.32.What may people think seeing a person throw a cigarette to the ground?A. That all depends.B. He should be blamed.C. It causes them to smoke.D. The butts can be reused.33.Filters can be made into a material that .A.is used as the battery surfaceB. can be turned into electricityC.is very easy and costs nothingD. can hold electricity energy well34.Super-capacitors made from carbon .A. need quite a long time to rechargeB. are comparatively very expensiveC. can easily carry an electrical currentD. can save a large quantity of electricity35.The story tells the readers the truth that .A. where there is a will, there is a wayB. the most useless is usually the most usefulC. ideas usually hit at the most unusual placesD.one person’s trash is another person’s treasure第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIn April 2014，the world's oldest known message in a bottle was discovered floating in the Baltic Sea. It had spent 101 years lost in the ocean！The message was finally sent to the author's granddaughter.A German fisherman named Konrad Fischer found the brown bottle near Kiel，Germany. He said he nearly threw the bottle back into the water after pulling it out of a fishing net. Then he noticed something inside.The bottle in good condition contained a Danish postcard with two German stamps，dated May 17，1913. Although dampness had made most of the writing illegible（字迹模糊的），the readable part of the message asked whoever found it to return it to an address in Berlin. It even contained two stamps to pay for postage.From the address，researchers found that the postcard was written by a man named Richard Platz，who was 20 years old when he wrote the message. While he was hiking on the Baltic coast with a nature appreciation group，he threw the bottle into the sea. Then the researchers began a search for any living relatives of his. Sure enough，they were able to find his 62-year-old granddaughter，Angela Erdmann，who still lives in Berlin.“It was almost unbelievable，”Erdmann said upon being presented with her grandfather's bottle and message.“That was a pretty moving moment. Tears rolled down my face."Erdmann never knew her grandfather，who died in 1946，but says that the discovery of the bottle has made her want to learn more about him.The bottle remained on display at the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg until May 1 ．After that，the researchers examined the postcard and tried to figure out the meaning of the rest of the message.Previously，the oldest message found in a bottle spent nearly 98 years at sea and was discovered in April ，according to Guinness World Records.21 ．When Konrad Fischer picked up the bottle from the sea，．A. he thought it would bring him good luckB. he noticed the postcard inside immediatelyC. he decided to uncover the secret of the bottleD. he wanted to throw it back into the sea at first22. Why did Richard Platz throw the bottle with the message into the sea?A. He expected his granddaughter could find the postcard.B. He wished the finder would send the postcard to his home.C. He believed his postcard would be kept secret at sea forever.D. He thought he could make friends with the finder of the bottle.23．What can be the best title for this passage？A. The finding of a floating bottle at the seaB. A one-century-old letter to a granddaughterC. The world's oldest message in a floating bottleD. The oldest Danish postcard in a floating bottleBWhen I began planning to move to Auckland to study，my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India，where we lived. She worried particularly about the lack of jobs，the cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism.Despite these worries，I came to New Zealand in July 2009. I have found the place and people very nice and supportive. Soon after I arrived，I realized the importance of getting a job to supply my living expenses.Determined to do this on my own ，I spent a whole day going from door to door asking for a job. However，I received little or no response. This became my routine every day after college for a few weeks.One afternoon，I walked into a building to ask if there were any job opportunities. The people there were very surprised，and advised me not to continue my job search in that manner.As I was about to leave，a clerk in the building，who had been listening to what the others had said,approached me and asked if I would wait outside. Fifteen minutes later，he returned. He asked me what my plans were and encouraged me to stay confident. He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak area to search for a job.I was a little surprised，but had a good feeling about him，so I went along. Along the way，I realized that I had run out of copies of my resume（简历）．The man stopped at his business partner's office to make me 15 extra copies. He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking，and added that I should give him, a call if I ever needed anything. I handed out my resumes and went home feeling very satisfied. The following day，I received：call from。

河南省扶沟县高级中学2015届高三下学期模拟考试英语试题第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AWhen Armida Armato’s daughter, Alexia, came home from school one day last year keen to go on a school trip to Ecuador, she wasn’t too sure how to feel. She was happy that her daug hter could experience something she never did as a teen but was fearful of letting her travel to such a remote part of the world.Alexia was 16 at the time, a student at Westwood High School. The school sponsored a humanitarian trip for 26 students and two teachers to spend 18 days living in a mountain village to build a one-room school. Even though Armato trusted her daughter, the other students and the teachers, she was worried about the side effects from the travel vaccines, possible accidents, and medical care.Now that Alexia was home, Armato said she saw her daughter’s new maturity, greater confidence and independence. “This is the best thing I ever did,” Alexia said. “The experience was so eye-opening and life-changing. You’re with people who are not as lucky as you are. They live in very poor conditions but they’re so happy and outgoing. You say, ‘My God. I’m taking everything for granted back home.’”She said they built a one-room school from scratch with no mechanical cement mixers. They used their hands, shovels and basic tools. She and another student lived with a local family in a small village about eight hours outside the capital, Quito. Despite the initial strangeness and knowing only basic Spanish, she said they grew very close and felt like a family.Every year, groups of students at Montreal High School like Alexia pack their bags and fly off with classmates and teachers to developing countries where they volunteer for a variety of projects.“Armato’s worries are very common among parents,” says Bill Nevin, a teacher at St. George’s High School. He organizes a humanitarian rip to India to the Sheela Bal Bhavan orphanage and says the three biggest fears families have are health, security and contact.21.

When parents learn that their child has hearing loss, they are faced with many difficult decisions. These decisions can include choosing therapies and schools, as well as finding financial help for hearing aids or cochlear implants (人工耳蜗).Help Me Hear Foundation is a public charity that gives the gift of hearing to deaf children from families existing on very low incomes around the world. The foundation offers life-changing services for impoverished families, and provides real help for children with hearing impairment who may otherwise be left behind in schools or society due to their lack of hearing.Help Me Hear Foundation believes that a child’s first years of development are critical. Being able to hear is vital to human, and Help Me Hear Foundation seeks to provide a positive lasting impression on society through its programs. Help Me Hear Foundation has many goals, including relieving the burden on communities with hearing-impaired infants and children, and strengthening the social structure of families and neighborhoods.Recipients of Help Me Hear Foundation’s benefits receive state-of-the-art hearing devices that otherwise would cost thousands of dollars per child over the course of their lifetime. The Foundation raises money through donations for hearing aids and cochlear implants, which saves recipients and their families on average over $50,000 on related expenses.The Foundation tries to be a transparent charity, and wants to be a catalyst for allowing deaf and hearing-impaired children to develop in a typical fashion alongside their peers.Needy families can obtain information on specific services, and find out about deafness education by visiting the Help Me Hear Foundation’s website. The website offers helpful information on how hearing aids work, and how hearing aids ease many of the learning and language challenges that hearing-impaired children deal with on a daily basis.27.

The author writes the text mainly to _____.A. tell how to avoid permanent hearing lossB. explain how hard a life deaf children liveC. introduce Help Me Hear FoundationD. advise people to give money to Help Me Hear FoundationDHave you ever noticed that the more you hav e the more you want? Let’s face it. Thinking our life is good enough doesn’t come naturally to many people. When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment. Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction. Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.Focus on what you are thankful for. Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have. Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be. Focus on what you are thankful for. Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our well-being. Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner. What happened in the past is done and gone, so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment.When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life weare likely to be less satisfied. Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position. Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you. Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you. Stay present and focus on the task you’re undertaking at the moment. Don’t let the life pass you by because you’re always on the go and distracted by ambition.Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment and it will become more natural.32. How can we live with contentment?A. To change our lifestyle.B. To have a motivation in life.C. To give less attention to what we are grateful for.D. To realize the difference between needs and desires.33. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Make wise decisions.B. Know the present situationC. Let go of regrets.D. Remember the past.34. The underlined word “elide”(in Paragraph 5) probably means “__”.A. enjoyB. changeC. createD. neglect35. What should you do to put yourself in a good mood?A. Make time for simple pleasures.B. Learn from successful people.C. Focus on your future goals.D. Create chance to learn more.第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Mary is digging in the ground for a photo, when along comes John. Seeing that there is no one in sight, John starts to scream. John’s angry mother rushes over and drives Mary away. Once his mum has gone, John helps himself to Mary’s potato.We’ve all experienced similar annoy ing tricks when we were young—the brother who stole your ball and then got you into trouble by telling your parents you had hit him. But Mary and John are not humans. They’re African baboons(狒狒). ___36___John’s scream and his mother’s attack on Mary could have been a m atter of chance, but John was later seen playing the same tricks on others. ___37___Studying behavior like this is complicated but scientists discovered apes(猿) clearly showed that they intended to cheat and knew when they themselves had been cheated. ___38___ An ape was annoying him, so he tricked her into going away by pretending he had seen something interesting. When she found nothing, she “walked back, hit me over the head with her hand and ignored me for the rest of the day.”Another way to decide wh ether an animal’s behavior is deliberate is to look for actions that are not normal for that animal. A zoo worker describes how an ape dealt with an enemy. “He slowly stole up behind the other ape, walking on tiptoe. When he got close to his enemy, he pushed him violently in the back, then ran indoors.” Wild apes do not normally walk on tiptoe. ____39___ But looking at the many cases of deliberate trickery in apes, it is impossible to explain them all as simple copying.It seems that trickery does play an important part in ape societies. ____40___ Studying the intelligence of our closest relative could be the way to understand the development of human intelligence.A. In most cases the animal probably doesn’t know it is cheating.B. An amusing example of this comes from a psychologist working in Tanzania.C. And playing tricks is as much a part of monkey behavior as it is of human behavior.D. So the psychologists asked his colleagues if they had noticed this kind of trickery.E. The ability of animals to cheat may be a better measure of their intelligence than their useof toolsF. This use of a third individual to achieve a goal is only one of the many tricks commonlyused by baboons.G. Of course it’s possible that it could have learnt from humans that s uch behavior works, without understanding why.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）I am a mom of two young children whom we home-school.

AWhen I first entered college, I was afraid that I was not “up to it”. I was afraid of being away from my family for the first time. Here I would have to make friends with strange people and perhaps also compete with them for grades in courses I would take. Were they smarter than I was? Could I keep up with them? Would they accept me?I soon learned that my life was now up to me. I had to set a study program if I were to succeed in my courses. I had to regulate the time I spent in my study and socializing. I had to decide when to go to bed, what to eat, and with whom to be friendly.I had to answer these questions for myself.At first, life was rough. I made mistakes in how I used my time. I also made mistakes in how I chose my first friends in college. Shortly, however, I had my life under control. I managed to get myself to class on time, do my homework and hand them in, and pass my first exams with satisfying grades. In addition, I developed a circle of friends with whom I felt comfortable and could share my fears. I set up my own routine, one that really met my needs.As a result, I began to look upon myself from a different perspective (视角).I began to see myself as a person responsible for myself and responsible for my friends and family. It felt good to make decisions and see them turn out to be wise ones.I guess this is what people call “growing up”.What did life have in store for me? At that stage in my life, I was really uncertain where I would go and what I would do with the years ahead of me. But I knew I would be able to handle what was ahead because I had successfully overcome the major problem in my life: I had made the change from a person dependent on his family to a person who was responsible for himself.21.The author was anxious about his college life at first because ______.A. he hated to get on with strangersB. he lacked some specialist knowledgeC. he was at a loss in the new surroundingsD. he was afraid of making mistakes in front of others22.We can learn from the author’s early experience at college that ______.A. he got used to the new life without much troubleB. he lost the ability to handle things independentlyC. he came to realize he should be in charge of his own businessD. he was a failure in many aspects except in school performance23.The author’s college life finally brought him a sense that ______.A. he became a person caring for othersB. he was smarter than his fellow studentsC. he brought confidence back in making decisionsD. he could deal with his personal matters independently24.Which is the best title for the passage?A. Memories of My Time in CollegeB. College: A Turning Point in My LifeC. My Colorful College LifeD. College Life Brings Me Pressure BCooking Kills Four Million People a YearPolluted airborne particles（大气悬浮颗粒）kill 7 million people a year, reports the World Health Organization.That news may not come as a surprise to anyone who has seen images of chimneys in Beijing, Delhi or Mexico.But those factories—or even the jammed roadways of modern cities—are not the biggest killer.Each year, some 4.3 million people die earlierthan they should because of polluted air inside their homes, says the WHO.What's causing the air inside people's homes to be so poisonous that it kills around 11, 000 people a day? Stoves.“Having an open fire in your kitchen is like burning 400 cigarettes an hour.”says Kirk Smith, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, whose research suggests that household air pollution from cooking killed between 3.5 million and 4 million people in 2013.Not all stoves cause this kind of harm.The ones Smith's talking about are those that the 3 billion people in the developing world use for heat and cooking, which burn solid fuels such as wood, coal, or crop waste instead of gas.The smoke from those fires produces harmful fine particles and carbon monoxide into homes.Poor ventilation then prevents that smoke from escaping, raising fine particle levels 100 times higher than the limits that the WHO considers acceptable.Breathing this air day in day out eventually causes a lot of diseases: more than a third of the 4.3 million die of a stroke, while a quarter die of heart disease.And around one-third of annual lung disease deaths worldwide are due to waste from coal stoves.Exposure tends to be extremely harmful for the people who spend the most time around the fire—usually women and young children.In fact, the WHO reports that household air pollution almost doubles the risk for childhood lung disease.25.According to Kirk Smith's research, ______.A.factories are the biggest killer worldwide nowadaysB.burning 400 cigarettes an hour is extremely dangerousC.household air pollution from cooking is surprisingly harmfulD.some 4.3 million people die earlier each year than they should26.What should be the deadly killer in a household kitchen?A.Solid fuels.B.Coal stoves.C.Poor gas.D.Cooking smoke.27.The underlined word “ventilation” in Paragraph 4 probably means “______”.A.airingB.cookingC.burningD.cooling28.The author intends to tell people ______.A.how to avoid polluted air in their homesB.to stop cooking in the household kitchenC.to guard against household pollution from cookingD.how to prevent childhood lung diseases in householdCIt is a popular myth that great geniuses—the Einsteins, Picassos and Mozarts of this world — spring up out of nowhere as if touched by the finger of God.Einstein’s father was an electrical engineer who fascinated his son with pra ctical displays of physics. Picasso’s father was an art teacher who had young Pablo painting bowls of fruit at the age of eight.Mozart’s father was a musician employed at a noble’s court who was teaching his son to sing and play almost before he could walk. In every case, when you look into the backgrounds of great people, there is this pattern of very early stimulation by a parent or teacher figure.One study has identified two kinds of parent style—the supportive and the stimulating. It followed four groups of children: one with supportive parents, one with stimulating parents, one whose parents combined both qualities and a final group who offered neither.Children whose parents were simply supportive were happier than average but were not particularly attentive when studying or working on something. The children who performed best were those whose parents were both supportive and stimulating.These children showed a reasonable level of happiness and were very alert during periods of study.Children whose parents were stimulating without being supportive were candidates for exhaustion.These children did work long hours, but their alertness and happiness during study time was far below that of children in more balanced family environments.Another crucial factor is the need for parents to have proper conversations with their children.Through having the chance to talk with adults, children pick up not only language skills but also adult habits and styles of thought.One reason why persons like Picasso and Einstein had a head start in life was that they had parents who demonstrated how to think about subjects like art or physics at a very early age.29.People usually hold the belief that _________.A.geniuses are born by natureB.geniuses call for support from GodC.geniuses are products of good parentingD.geniuses are closely connected with their environment30.What can we learn by looking into great people’s childhood?A.They put on unusual talents.B.They received early parental stimulation.C.They were forced to do what they disliked.D.They showed great curiosity about knowledge.31.What can children benefit from the conversation with their parents?A.They don’t feel lonely any more.B.They pick up styles of thought.C.They find out their favorite career.D.They acquire adult language quickly.32.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.Parents’ role contributes to cultivating extraordinary children.B.To be a genius, a child needs to be very lucky in his genetics.C.Parents should focus more on cultivating children’s creative thoughts.D.Family conversations are of great importance to children’s development.DMake a long story short for your chance to be published in Reader’s Digest and win $25,000. Here are a few of our favorite entries so far in our “Your life: The Reader’s Digest Version” contest.After reading these, head over to Facebook and submit your own story about a special moment or lesson that shaped your life. “There’s Always a John”By Darla BoydIn my first year of teaching, there was a kid named John in my class.John was difficult to control and he nearly drove me crazy. While talking about him one day, an old teacher put his hand on my shoulder and said, “There will always be a John. Your job is to learn to discover what makes him different and help him succeed.”The next year, there was indeed another John.But that advice taught me that there is something to appreciate in everyone.“An Early Key Lesson”By Elaine WestBefore I began my first teaching job, my mother, a teacher of 30 years, gave me a very special gift—five simple words that have had an effect on my entire life. “Make friends with the janitor (门卫).” Her wisdom taught me the respect for all types of characters and continues to enrich my life to this day. Just five little words but what an impact they can have when you take them to heart.“Raising Mommy”By Jan DavisBeing a mother can always present challenges and rewards.Someone told me early that children will teach you everything you need to know. Being a mother is being raised.Our children become our advisers. Their dreams become our professors, as we are taking notes carefully. The sounds of their laughter and smiles are a great reward to us.Their tears remind us that it is okey to fail, and that we should wipe the tears away and try again.33.What did Elaine West’s mother advise her to do?A.Take care of janitors.B.Don’t treat students differently.C.Don’t judge people by appearance.D.Respect people from different backgrounds.34. From the last paragraph, we can infer that _________.A. a mother should be given more careB. a mother improves herself greatly in parentingC. being a mother has more challenges than rewardsD. children should realize the dreams of their parents35.The text is most probably a(n) _________.A. notice inviting contributionsB. introduction to a contestC. ad for three new booksD. poster about a lecture第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AWhen Josephine Cooper was growing up，she learned the importance of charity from her parents．Although they made a modest living for their family of 10，they insisted on sharing with those less fortunate．Half a century later，Mrs Cooper became a beloved volunteer at the San Diego Food Bank，where she devoted herself to helping others．She organized and ran a distribution center from a church，helping it become the organization’s largest emergency food distribution center in San Diego．She was one of 25 outstanding senior volunteers in the nation selected and invited to Washington D．C．to receive the award．“She was the main person who helped us make that program grow,” said Mike Doody，former director of the Food Bank．“She had a way of getting people to work together and to work hard．She was determined and stubborn，but in a good way．She had a good heart．” People knew her as “Grandma” because of her selflessness and her devotion to helping hungry children and families．“She reminded people of their Grandma．” Doody said．As a widow with a young child in 1979，Mrs．Cooper was helped through a difficult financial time when the Food Bank provided her with groceries．“She dedicated her life to giving back,” said her daughter，Monica Cooper．It wasn’t unusual for a local church to call Mrs Cooper to ask her to aid a needy family．“She would gi ve people food out of her cupboard．Sometimes we would cook a meal for a family living out of their car,” Cooper said．Although Mrs Cooper was honored to receive the national award for her volunteer work，she said being able to help others was her reward．She died of liver disease and kidney failure，aged 93．21．The underlined word “charity” in Paragraph 1 refers to．A．offering help B．donating moneyC．providing services D．showing sympathy22．Which of the following is true of Mrs Cooper?A．She died at an early age．B．She refused the national award．C．She was kind and devoted．D．She was not easy to get along with．23．Mrs Cooper’s story suggests that．A．everyone needs a Grandma nearbyB．children are what their parents areC．a sound mind is in a sound bodyD．a mother’s love never changesBThose who have suffered from insomnia know the sinking feeling of watching the clock tick．Now a new study in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that lying in bed awake may actually contribute to the problem of sleeplessness．The study of 79 adults（average age 72）with insomnia aimed to determine whether brief behavioral interventions for insomnia would help．Traditional behavioral therapy（疗法）requires at least half a dozen hour-long sessions with a therapist —a costly commitment many patients either can't make or don't have access to．Other options include sleep-aiding medications or supplements．In the current study，the 39 participants in the behavioral therapy group received a 45- to 60-minute instructing session，plus a 30-minute follow-up session and two 20-minute phone calls．Doctors offered the following behavioral interventions for improving sleep: reduce time in bed; get up at the same time every day，regardless of sleep duration; don't go to bed unless sleepy; and don't stay in bed unless asleep．The other 40 participants in the study were given printed educational materials about insomnia，which included the same instructions given to the intervention group，but without the individualized sessions with a therapist．Two weeks later，the latter group also got a 10-minute follow-up phone call．At the end of four weeks，the behavioral treatment group was significantly more likely to show improvements in sleep than the printed-materials group．By that time，55% of those who received behavioral treatment no longer met the criteria for insomnia，compared with 13% of the group that got educational brochures．The good news comes at the same time as a report on the health effects of insomnia from the U．K．'s Mental Health Foundation．The report，Sleep Matters，suggests a link between insomnia and poor relationships，low energy levels and an inability to concentrate．Poor sleep has already been linked to depression，immune deficiency and heart disease．24．What is the meaning of the underlined word “ insomnia”?A．sleeplessness B．depressionC．heart disease D．immune deficiency25．What is the disadvantage of traditional behavioral therapy?A．It can’t help．B．It costs a lot of money．C．It requires sessions with a therapist．D．It includes sleep-aiding medications．26．How to improve sleep according to the doctor?A．Lying in bed awake．B．Get up early every day．C．Don’t go to bed late at night．D．Don’t stay in bed if you are not asleep．27．We can learn from the text that insomnia may cause the following results except________．A．depression B．concentrationC．immune deficiency D．heart diseaseCWhile I was in my 4th month of pregnancy（妊娠期）with my second child，we were preparing for a trip to Louisiana，where Marshall’s family live，to celebrate Jane’s 2nd birthday．Two days before we were to leave，we got the shocking news that I was going to lose the baby．Not knowing when this would happen，we decided to continue with our trip．S ince Marshall’s family lives on a 600-acre cattle farm，you often find that you have a lot of time to yourself to think when you are there．That is precisely what I did not want to do at this time．I told Marshall that I needed to get a good book to get lost in while I was there．I told him I heard the Harry Potter books were good，so he went out and got the first one for me．During that trip，I totally got lost in the book，which was of great help during a time when I needed a distraction to forget about the sadness．In the book，I noticed the name “Seamus”．I vaguely remembered it was pronounced “Shamus” and I liked the sound of that．I mentioned it to Marshall and he liked it too．Toward the end of the trip，I had just 5 chapters left and I knew I was about to finish the first book，which I was pretty excited about．Soon after we put Jane down to bed，I had started labor（分娩），so I was unable to read．The labor lasted 5 and 1/2 hours，but Marshall stayed there with me，sitting beside me and reading aloud the last 5 chapters of Harry Potter．I can never fullyexplain how much that helped me through the experience．And ever since then，Marshall and I both have been fans of the Harry Potter books．We remember how they helped us get through that time of our lives．We were sad to have lost the baby，but the name Seamus started our journey toward adoption．And we gave this name to our adopted son．Though our Seamus doesn’t have a drop of Irish blood in him，the name fits him perfectly．28．Why did the writer want a good book during the trip?A．Because the trip to Louisiana would take a long time．B．Because she didn’t want to think of losing her baby．C．Because she had nothing else to do except reading．D．Because a good book could help her enjoy her trip．29．According to the story，we can know that the Harry Potter books _________________．A．made the family’s trip more excitingB．include five books all togetherC．have someone called Seamus in themD．can help people deal with their problems30．The writer named her son Seamus because ____________．A．she wanted to keep her

AWhile we are on the subject of crime，our listener question this week comes from Mohamad Firouzi in Iran. He wants to know about the history of Alcatraz Island and the prison that once operated there.Alcatraz Island is in the harbor of San Francisco，California. It is best known for being a federal prison，which was also called “The Rock.” It was once the most famous pri son in America.Alcatraz was a military prison from the late eighteen fifties until the nineteen thirties. Then it became a federal prison for the country's worst criminals. These included murderers，bank robbers and kidnappers. One of the main reasons federal officials chose Alcatraz Island to detain these prisoners was because they thought it would be impossible for prisoners to escape.Cold，deep and dangerous waters surround the island. Also，the distance between the island and San Francisco is too far for most humans to swim. No prisoner was ever officially reported to have successfully escaped.However，in nineteen sixty－two，three men broke out of the prison. Each man worked very hard at night for many months to cut through the stone wall of his cell. They made false heads out of paper，paint and hair. On the night of June eleventh，the men placed the heads in their beds to make it look as if they were sleeping. Then，the prisoners escaped through the holes in their cells to get to the water. The men were never seen or heard from again. It is believed that they drowned while trying to swim to San Francisco.The prison closed in nineteen sixty－three because of the high cost of keeping prisoners there and the need for major repairs. The last prisoners were moved to other jails.In nineteen seventy－two，the United States Congress passed a bill creating the Golden GateNational Recreation Area. Alcatraz Island and the old prison are part of this area.Each year，more than one million people visit Alcatraz to see the prisoners' cells and listen to stories about the jail's history. But unlike the prisoners who once lived there，visitors can escape from the prison whenever they want and return back across the harbor to San Francisco.21．The text mainly tells us ________.A．about the history of Alcatraz Island and the prison there.B．about the history of Alcatraz Island.C．about a military prison.D．about the subject of crime.22．Why did federal officials make Alcatraz the most famous prison in America?A．Because no prisoner successfully escaped from the prison.B．Because Alcatraz was Alcatraz Island.C．Because Alcatraz was a military prison.D．Because cold，deep and dangerous waters surround the island.23．Paragraph 5 is written to ________.A．tell us the three prisoners escaped the prison.B．prove prisoners couldn't successfully escape from the prison.C．tell us how prisoners escaped the prison.D．tell us the three prisoners could make false heads out of paper，paint and hair.24．Now Alcatraz ________.A．is a place of interest.B．detains some prisoners.C．is where the United States Congress is.D．is still the most famous prison.BWhen his book The Little Prince began，Conor Grennan was planning a year－long trip around the globe，a journey that began with a three－month voluntary service in the Little Princes Children's Home，an orphanage(孤儿院)in Nepal.Arriving there，Conor was immediately welcomed by all the children even though he had no previous experience in working with children. He quickly grew to love the job. But it wasn't longbefore Conor came to learn that the children were not orphans at all－they were actually children who had been separated from their parents by a child trafficker(贩子)．This realization turned Conor's global journey into a strong desire to try to find a way to reunite these children with their families. As a part of his efforts，Conor did a great amount of work when he was back in America. He started up a non－profit organization called Next Generation Nepal( NGN )，raising funds in order to buy a house in Nepal as another children's home. Then，back in Nepal，he began a life－changing trip into remote villages.It is really amazing to read about Conor communicating with the children and to read his descriptions of each of them. He made me truly care about the kids. I wanted them to be able to reunite with their families，too! Unfortunately，this was simply not possible for some of the children. But there were some lucky ones. Jagrit，for example，had thought for years that both his parents were dead. So，Conor was surprised when he visited Jagrit's village and was introduced to the boy's father!Conor suecessfully found many of the families of the children and also found his future wife while in Nepal.25．What do we know about the Little Princes Children's Home?A．Many children ended there due to illegal trade.B．The children in it are all orphans.C．It is worldwide profitable organization.D．It has many branches all over Nepal.26．In order to help the children，Conor________．a．decided to remain singleb．set up the organization NGNc．visited some remote villagesd．fought against child traffickerse．gave up his plan to travel worldwideA．a，b，d B．b，c，d C．b，c，e D．c，d，e27．It can be learned from the text that Conor Grennan ________．A．is a friend of the authorB．likes teaching very muchC．has already settled in NepalD．is the author of The Little PrinceCKnowing the best way to study will help you to be a better student.

河南省扶沟县高级中学2015届高三下学期押题考试英语试题第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）APeter Onruang, a Hollywood businessman, has paid $310,000 to clone his best friend Wolfie, a lovely dog. He said, “Wolfie was more than just a pet to me.” Wolfie died two years ago, at the age of 15. But long before she and her sister Bubble passed away, Onruang had plans to bring them back to life. Onruang said, “I buried them at home. Each time I visit them, I say, …Hi, I‟m making a new body for you.‟”Finally, Onruang found the South Korean biotechnology company RNL Bio, which can and will clone animals. Onruang collected his dogs‟ stem cells (干细胞), and then he started a website , so he could earn and save the $310,000 that the cloning would cost.The new dogs should look identical (完全相同的) to Wolfie and Bubble. When the cloning process is done, Onruang may end up with several cl ones of each dog. But Onruang admits he‟s still not sure that they will be exactly the same.Scientists cloned the first animal, a sheep named Dolly, in 1996 in Scotland. That project has raised ethical (伦理的) questions about where science should draw the line. Another question is whether such technique will lead to a day when humans could be cloned.“If I had an opportunity to clone myself, I would do it readily,” Onruang said. “Because it‟s me, I‟m raising myself. I have already known exactly my strengths and weaknesses. This person is going to be the new and improved me, and will live the life I‟ve always wanted to live.”21. Onruang started the website in order to .A. encourage more people to clone their petsB. draw people‟s a ttention to cloningC. raise money to pay for the cloningD. collect his dog‟s stem cells22.

But a long time ago, it wasn‟t easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn‟t exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin‟s work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball(化妆舞会). He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces. Nobody forget Merlin‟s grand entrance for a long time!28.

When he saw it, he concealed the cave entrance and stayed there, guarding it.From that day on, the man hid all his valuables in the cave, and to avoid anyone suspecting he was rich, he gave up his job, his home, and his friends. He constantly watched the approaches to his cave, wanting no one to find out about it. Fearing thieves, he guarded the cave all night long.He was so devoted to the cave that he hardly ate or drank. Before long, he fell ill. Many days passed, and he got thinner and sicker, losing all his strength. One day, when he could hardly move at all, he realized that it was his greed that had brought him to this extreme end. He understood that guarding his treasure had been of no use and no good. He decided to share it with others.He crawled (爬) into the cave to fetch some jewels, but discovered that the cave was almost empty. All he could find was a small emerald (绿宝石). He took it and left the cave, intending to give it to the first person passing by. Soon a woman approached and accepted the emerald with great joy. The man said to her, “I could have given you many more riches, but I don‟t know where they went. This is all I have now.”“Are you sure there‟s nothing else?” replied the woman. The man shook his head and pointed to the cave. He found that some riches were still there; he saw some gold coins. He said, “Take them with you.” The woman took both the emerald and the coins, and went away happily.In a while, an old man passed by and asked the man what he was doing there. The man replied, “What bad luck! Just a moment ago I gave a woman the few riches left over from the treasure I was guarding.”“Are you sure there‟s nothing else?” The old man asked him.The man showed him the cave, and they found a box filled with jewels and gold. The man was shocked. The old man explained to him, “At last! At last someone has freed himself from the spell (咒语) of this cave. You see, this is a magic cave, and you‟re the first to pass its great test. Many people have devoted their lives to this cave, only to end up realizing there‟s nothing here ...”“And why does this happen?” said the man. “Why does the treasure appear and disappear?”“My son, this magic cave has as many riches as does your own heart. When someone discovers it, the cave fills with the treasure they bring with them, but later, when they all devote themselves to guarding the treasure, their hearts begin emptying, and so does the cave. The only way to fill it is to fill your heart with all that is good, as you did by giving that last jewel to the woman. That‟s the reason why the cave was filling up again ...”And so, the man understood it was better to share than to keep things to himself. And, from that day, thanks to the cave and the old man, the man became ever more noble(高尚的) and generous.32. The underlined word “concealed” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “_____”.A. builtB. coveredC. discoveredD. used33. After the man fell ill, he intended to ______.A. tell others about his storyB. take all the treasure homeC. give some of the treasure to other peopleD. return the treasure to the woman and the old man34. What happened to the man in the end?A. He became more generous.B. He became the richest man in the world.C. He became more careful about his health.D. He became more grateful to others for their help.35. What can we learn from this passage?A. Be a good listener.B. Don‟t be angry with others.C. We should learn to share.D. We ought to help each other.第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AI was born and raised in a family where my father was extremely tightfisted(吝啬的) towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled, he’d say in his loudest father-voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs.I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge（树篱）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting in nocently in his chair. “So! My son, it’syou!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.”21. What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Spoke unhappilyB. Explained clearly.C. Agreed willingly.D. Accepted happily. .22. What made the author feel upset was ______.A. the tiredness after long hours in labsB. the fear of seeing something movingC. the loneliness of riding the bus homeD. the feeling of being less than valued23. The author’s father watched behind the hedge because ______.A. he wanted to help his son build up courageB. he was concerned about his son’s safetyC. he didn’t want to meet his son at the doorwayD. he didn’t think his son was old enough to walk alone24. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Terrible Journey Home.B. My College Life.C. My Father’s Secret.D. Riding Bus Alone.BTaiwan's annual university admissions tests are taking place this week. Tens of thousands of students trying to give the right answers to math and language questions.

However, Black Friday has turned it into a business.Traditionally, the true value of Thanksgiving lies at home not the shopping centers. However, Black Friday has nowadays allowed society to ignore this as individuals long for something that they do not need or even truly want. Shopping on Black Friday becomes a sign of a shift into a culture that values material wealth over spending time with loved ones. People are willing to force their way through the crowds in their desperate search for marked-down sweaters and necklaces.In recent years, Thanksgiving has become a pre-Black Friday holiday for many families. They are devoted to mapping out shopping routes and making organized schedules for which stores to hit first. By drawing individuals out to shopping centers with “matchless savings”, businesses encourage this behavior of ignoring Thanksgiving. Many families take their home-cooked meals while camping out at the door of shopping centers. With each new year, Thanksgiving is becoming victim to over commercialization—switching from a meaningful time of thanks and family to a day dedicated to products and profit.Black Friday has shown that with current common standards, people cannot even set aside a single day to appreciate what they already have without immediately buying more. Families have lost sight of what is truly important in life, and have found reasons in debating between a low cost HD television and an appreciation for what they already have. Remember that Thanksgiving should be a day in which people are grateful for all that they have.32. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 probably refer to?A. The material wealth. .B. The true value of Thanksgiving.C. The shopping crowd.D. The sign of a shift33. In recent years, what will many families do when thanksgiving comes?A.

AMost people go to a doctor in their own town or suburb （郊区）. But people in the Australian outback can’t get to a doctor quickly. The neares t doctor is sometimes hundreds of kilometers away so they have to call him on a two-way radio. This special doctor is called the “flying doctor”. He visits sick people by plane.When someone is very sick, the doctor has to fly to the person’s home. His pla ne lands on a flat piece of ground near the person’s house. Sometimes the doctor has to take the patient to hospital. Flying doctors take about 8,600 people to hospital each year.However, most of the time the person isn’t very sick, and the doctor doesn’t have to visit. He can give advice on the radio from the office at the flying doctor center. He can tell the patient to use some medicine from a special medicine chest (箱子). There is one of these chests in every home in the outback. Each bottle, tube （管子）and packet （包）in the chest has a number. The doctor often says something like this,” take two tablets （药片）from bottle 5 every four hours.”21. Some people in the Australian outback can’t get to a doctor quickly. Because_________A.there are few doctors thereB.the nearest doctor is sometimes very far away from themC.there is always heavy traffic on the roadD.they don’t want to see a doctor22.

For example, the tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable. It is one of useful plants that can be prepared in many ways. It has rich nutrition and vitamin in it. But in the 18th century, Americans never ate tomatoes. They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty. But they thought the vegetable was poisonous (有毒的). They called tomatoes “poison apples.”President Thomas Jefferson, however, knew that tomatoes were good to eat. He was a learned man. He had been to Paris, where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes. He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden. The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup. This beautiful pink soup was served at the President’s party. The guests thought the soup tasted really good. They never thought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples. Jefferson never spoke to his honored (忠实的) guests about the fact.25. After you read the passage, which of the following do you think is true?A. Americans never ate tomatoes after they began to plant them.B. Americans didn’t eat tomatoes before 19th century.C. Even now Americans don’t eat tomatoes.D. In the 18th century Americans ate a lot of tomatoes.26. The passage tells us that Jefferson was a President who learned to love the taste of tomatoes .A. while he was in ParisB. when he was a little boyC. because his parents told him soD. from books27. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. All of the guests knew the soup that was served at the President’s party was made of tomatoes.B. All of the guests thought the soup which was prepared by the President’s cook was nice.C. All of the guests thought the taste of the beautiful pink soup was nice.D. None of the guests knew that their president would serve his honored guests poison apples.CIf you exhibit positive characteristics such as honesty and helpfulness, the chances are that you will be thought as a good-looking person, for a new study has found that the perception (认知) of physical attractiveness is influenced by a person's personality.The study, which was led by Gary W. Lewandowski, has found that people who exhibit negative characteristics, such as unfairness and rudeness, appear to be less physically attractive to observers. In the study, the participants viewed photographs of opposite-sex individuals and rated them for attractiveness before and after being provided with information about their personalities.After personality information was received, participants also rated the probability of each individual's becoming a friend and a dating partner. Information on personality was found to significantly change the probability, showing that cognitive (认知的) processes modify (修改) judgments of attractiveness."Thinking a person as having a desirable personality makes the person more suitable in general as a close relationship partner of any kind," said Lewandowski.The findings show that a positive personality leads to greater expectation of becoming friends, which leads to greater expectation of becoming romantic partners and, finally, to being viewed as more physically attractive. The findings remained consistent regardless of how "attractive" the individual was formerly thought to be or of the participants' current relationship status."This research provides a positive outcome by reminding people that personality goes a long way toward determining your attractiveness; it can even change people's impressions of how good-looking you are," said Lewandowski.28. In the study the participants were required to .A. try to make friends with each otherB. try to prove positive characters make people more attractiveC. exhibit negative characters such as unfairness and rudenessD. rate one's attractiveness by photos before and after knowing her or his personality29. What's the CORRECT order of how cognitive processes modify judgments of attractiveness?a. find a person with a positive personalityb. view the person more physically, attractivec. want to make friends with the persond. want to be his/her romantic partnerA. a→c→d→bB. d→c→b→aC. c→b→a→dD. a→d→c→b30. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?A. The research reminds people to pay more attention to the personality.B. Personality can change people's impressions of one's appearance.C. The judgment of one's attractiveness always stays unchanged.D. Positive personality may lead to more friends.31. The passage is written in a(n) tone.A. subjectiveB. objectiveC. scepticalD. negativeDYou arrive on time at the Smith’s house to babysi t three year-old Max. When Mrs. Smith invites you into the house, you find Max sitting on the floor with an ipad. You look around for a book, and then you realize the ipad is teaching him how to read through a series of songs and games. Mrs. Smith looks as though she couldn’t be prouder of her son for playing such educational games.Technology is becoming more important in our everyday lives. From playing a game to asking Siri for directions to a restaurant, we are depending heavily on our handheld device. Companies such as Fisher-price and Open solutions are making apps such as “ Laugh and Learn”, “ Baby Hear and Read ” and “ Baby’s First Puzzle.” These apps are marketed to parents and their babies. Some companies say that their apps will help the baby learn to read while others promise skills such as identifying shapes and sounds. Many parents say that these games have helped their children a lot.Recently the campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, a Boston-based group, has been accusing companies, who make these supposedly educational games, of false advertising. The campaign believes that these games are doing very little to improve the education of young children.“ What babies need for healthy brain development is active play, hand-one creative play and face-to-face interaction. ” says Susan Linn, the group’s director. This means that when you are babysitting little Max, you should play board games with him or games that require him to use his own imagination. This will help him to learn not only skills that the games teach him, but he will learn social skills. The American Academy of Pediatrics agrees with Linn, discouraging any electronic time for babies under 2 , while older children should be limited to one to two hours a day.32. We can learn t hat many parents think the apps such as “ Laugh and Learn” are .A. dull to useB. complex to operateC. expensive to buyD. beneficial to possess33. Which of the following may Suan Linn agree with?A. The ipad will soon take the place of babysitters.B. Baby’s First Puzzle is a good choice for parents.C. Babies should stay away from these learning apps.D. The apps from Fisher-Price can teach children a lot.34. What a babysitter really needs to do is to .A. buy more educational apps from marketsB. turn to Commercial-Free Childhood for helpC. create more activities that children can take part inD. encourage more kids to discover more electronic games35. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？A. Fun educational apps for educationB. Learning apps: Do they really help?C. Is modern technology improving our lives?D. The campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AI was born and raised in a family where my father was extremely tightfisted(吝啬的) towards us children. His attitude didn’t softe n as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled, he’d say in his loudest father-voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs.I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge（树篱）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reachinghome, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.”21. What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Spoke unhappilyB. Explained clearly.C. Agreed willingly.D. Accepted happily. .22. What made the author feel upset was ______.A. the tiredness after long hours in labsB. the fear of seeing something movingC. the loneliness of riding the bus homeD. the feeling of being less than valued23.

Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Terrible Journey Home.B. My College Life.C. My Father’s Secret.D. Riding Bus Alone.BTaiwan's annual university admissions tests are taking place this week. Tens of thousands of students trying to give the right answers to math and language questions.

However, Black Fridayhas turned it into a business.Traditionally, the true value of Thanksgiving lies at home not the shopping centers. However, Black Friday has nowadays allowed society to ignore this as individuals long for something that they do not need or even truly want. Shopping on Black Friday becomes a sign of a shift into a culture that values material wealth over spending time with loved ones. People are willing to force their way through the crowds in their desperate search for marked-down sweaters and necklaces.In recent years, Thanksgiving has become a pre-Black Friday holiday for many families. They are devoted to mapping out shopping routes and making organized schedules for which stores to hit first. By drawing individuals out to shopping centers with “matchless savings”, businesses encourage this behavior of ignoring Thanksgiving. Many families take their home-cooked meals while camping out at the door of shopping centers. With each new year, Thanksgiving is becoming victim to over commercialization—switching from a meaningful time of thanks and family to a day dedicated to products and profit.Black Friday has shown that with current common standards, people cannot even set aside a single day to appreciate what they already have without immediately buying more. Families have lost sight of what is truly important in life, and have found reasons in debating between a low cost HD television and an appreciation for what they already have. Remember that Thanksgiving should be a day in which people are grateful for all that they have.32. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 probably refer to?A. The material wealth. .B. The true value of Thanksgiving.C. The shopping crowd.D. The sign of a shift33. In recent years, what will many families do when thanksgiving comes?A. They’ll choose a big store for their first visit.B. They’ll make full preparations for the Black Friday shopping.C. They’ll visit some newly-opened shopping centers.D. They’ll go camping at the gate of shopping center for a good deal.34. In the last paragraph the author mainly intends to tell us that we should _________.A. set aside a single day to buy moreB. stay with our families as long as we canC. appreciate what we’ve possessed with our familiesD. try to spend less to get low cost products35. The author is __________ about the present ways people celebrate Thanksgiving.A. puzzledB. supportiveC. unconcernedD. worried第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

ASure, it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes that time you spend in the classroom more pleasant. And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. Kids w ho get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying.As a kid in elementary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re able to take in lots of new and exciting informa tion. Apart from that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, he or she is thrilled to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers ar e people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place to teach!Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are se nsitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.21.

Not even a drop of makeup. She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. Selena was wearing Bebe shorts. She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.After making small talk about what she wore for the shoot, she dived into the subject of her career. Selena declared the year of movies. She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.Now that her Disney days are behind her, Selena is at that unstable point in a child star’s career where she is trying to grow up---both as a person(she turned 20 in July)and as an artist. “Being part of the Disney Channel was such a blessing, and I’m super happy w ith what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.” She continued, “I don’t necessarily feel accomplished. I want to creat a whole different persona when it comes to acting.”Selena has been working fulltime since she was seven years old and scored a role on Barney&Friends. In 2007, when she was offered the lead in Wizards of Waverly Place, Selena, her mother, and her stepfather uprooted from Grand Prairie, Texas, to LA, where they are settling now.25.

The business is called Yu’ebao.The past five months have seen this fund blossom, owing to the prosperous Interet e-commerce platform, and the S ingles Day shopping spree on November 11 had helped Yu’ebao. In the process of a deal on Taobao, once the buyer pays for the order, his or her money is first accepted by Alipay, then after he or she receives the goods, a final confirmation is made and Alipay then gives the money to the seller. If a buyer forgets to confirm payment, the money is transferred into the seller’s account after 10 days by the system.The Singles Day had a total volume of 35 billion yuan(＄5.75 billion) and thus a large amount of mo ney passed through Alipay’s account. Analysts estimated that Alipay may have also bought the fund using the extra income, which powerfully enlarged the scale of Yu’ebao. Profit purchasing investors tend to choose safe financial management tools. The relatively stable yields of Yu’ebao is favored by most customers, the report said.Chinese e-commerence giant Alibaba allows consumers to invest their spare cash in the money market funds through its Alipay online payment service. The product, called Yu’ebao, or “Leftovers Treasure,” has netted 130 billion yuan so far, making the fund’s management firm, Tianhong Fund, the country’s largest fund management company.Meanwhile, due to the cooperation with Alipay, the management scale of Tianhong monetary fund has doubled from 55.653 billion yuan at the end of September to over 100 billion yuan.During the Singles Day, the frequency of payment of Alipay and Yu’ebao exceeded 188 million and 16.79 million with total transaction volume at 35 billion yuan and 6 billion yuan.33. The fund has been successful so far mainly because ________.A. it is the country’s largest fund management fund.B. it was the first fund in China to cooperate with Yu’ebao.C. consumers can directly invest the spare cash in it through online payment service.D. The online shopping is prosperous and the Singles Day shopping makes great contribution.34.

Hands-on Activities.BMy wife and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local convenience store. I don’t think many people appreciate what a difficult job these folks have. They work for a little over minimum wage and I often wonder how they make ends meet.One of the clerks, Charlie, was always wearing his glasses but he didn’t one day. I asked him about it and he said they’d been out of order and that he couldn’t afford a new pair. His family needed money. It was obvious that he was having a difficult time.We wanted to help him, so we turned to our own eye doctor for assistance with a plan. We had his secretary contact him, asking him to come in for an eye exam for free. We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them. Although Charlie questioned what was going on, the doctor just told him that someone had offered the money for his new glasses. When we went in to pay the bill, the doctor told us he was so touched by our idea that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!It was so wonderful to see Charlie in her new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift came about. I’m sure that upon hearing her story, ideas of kindness may have emerged in the minds of many.24. Why didn’t the clerk Charlie wear glasses one day?A. It was very warm and fine.B. His old glasses were broken.C. His glasses were missing.D. He forgot to wear his glasses.25. From the passage, we can infer that ________.A. Charlie was a young man with skillsB. Charlie knew who paid the money for the new glassesC. Charlie didn’t support his family with enough moneyD. Charlie entirely accepted the money for the new glasses26. The underlined word “waived” in the third paragraph can be replaced by ________.A. gave upB. took upC. cut downD. put off27. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A. The Wonderful Feeling of Helping othersB. Customers’ Gift to an EmployeeC. A Friendly Clerk — CharlieD. A New Pair of GlassesCIn America, parents tend to encourage their children to develop their potential (潜能) to the fullest extent. Fathers and mothers frequently teach their children both ambition and the confidence necessary to work toward their goals. American parents are always active in concentrating on what their kids can do, not what they can’t. As a result, millions of American boys and girls grow up hoping to become actors and athletes, diplomats and doctors. Many of them even want to become president.American parents often encourage their children to become involved in extra activities of all types at school, such as student government, sports and music. They believe that only through taking part in these activities can their children become mature young adults.As we all know, schoolwork is important. But parents should realize that the social skills their children learn from natural conversations with each other are as important as schoolwork and the skills they will need in the future work. What’s more important in their work is that their children should have a sound knowledge of physics or the ability to communicate effectively.As a rule, Chinese parents don’t educate their children about the same kind of ambition and confidence as Americans do, nor do they encourage the same level of participation in extra activities. Children are typically advised to study hard and pass exams. They have to spend a lot of time in doing much schoolwork every day. It is a great waste of time to do so.Now more and more Chinese parents have recognized that they should pay attention to developing the potential of their children. I hope that leaders in Chinese educational circles should take some measures to develop the potential of their children. I am very confident about it.28. From the passage, we know the American parents pay much more attention to ________.A. the social skills than Chinese parentsB. their children’s studying hard and wellC. what their children want but they can’tD. extra activities than schoolwork29. According to the passage, Chinese parents ________.A. know more than American parents to educate their childrenB. owning ambition and confidence is necessary and importantC. pay much more attention to their children’s fine futureD. don’t encourage their children to participate in extra activities30. From the passage, we can infer _______.A. American children are brave and adventurousB. American children are more active in their studiesC. Chinese children have the ability to communicate effectivelyD. Something should be done to develop the potential of the children in China31. What’s the writer’s attitude towards Chinese education reform?A. Neutral.B. Indifferent.C. Positive.D. Negative.DNowadays many people are concerned about the problem of what to do with electronic waste such as old televisions, computers, radios, cellular telephones and other electronic equipment.Electronic trash, or e-waste, is piling up faster than ever in American homes and businesses. People do not know what to do with old televisions or computers so they throw them in the trash.National Solid Waste Management Association (NSWMA) state programs director Chaz Miller says the large amount of electronic waste Americans product is not unexpected.The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills (垃圾填埋场) and create recycling programs. They can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts. Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore says, “There are lots of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just putting them in the landfill, and in certaincomponents there are some materials that should not really be in the landfill. ”Fannon says nearly 20 percent of electronic waste is recycled nationwide. Thirteen years ago, it was only about 6 percent. Recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from landfills in order to keep e-waste poisons like lead (铅) and mercury (汞) out of garbage dumps.This year several states like Vermont imposed a ban on electronic waste in landfills. More than 25 other states have also adopted bans on e-waste in landfills. Chaz Miller says more can be done to boost electronic waste recycling.“We can do much better,” noted Miller. “I think clearly our goal should be to do as well as we do recycling newspapers.”32. Which of the following does NOT belong to e-waste?A. Old televisions.B. Old computers.C. Old cell phones.D. Old newspapers.33. Why is e-waste banned from landfills in many states?A. Because it can not be recycled.B. Because the landfills are already full.C. Because it might damage the environment.D. Because it can be shipped to other countries.34. According to Mike Fannon, what might be the best way of dealing with e-waste?A. Recycling it.B. Selling it.C. Burying it.D. Breaking it.35. What can we learn from the passage?A. Chaz Miller works for EPA.B. Miller is optimistic about the future of e-waste.C. At present, less than 10 percent of e-waste is recycled.D. All states in the US have banned e-waste from landfills.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AGraham and his friends preferred to shoot up in their arms, necks and legs. A dealer once said Graham was the type who would never be able to turn back and that he expected him to die from the drug. Wendy feared the same, but didn’t know how to save her son. “ Once, after he’d disappeared for more than a month, I found him at a friend’s house with a bunch of other users,” she said, “I got down on my hands and knees, begging him to come home. He did, but the next morning he was gone.I don’t know what made him do it, but I drove 20 miles to the nearest train station. Graham was headed for Seattle, his pockets full of drugs. If I hadn’t gotten there in time, I would never have seen him alive again.”The turning point came in 2007, after Graham was arrested yet again for possession. Wendy got a call from the Montana Drugs Project, which works with local law enforcement（强制执行）to keep track of youth-related crimes so it can help families in trouble. Following a counselor’s advice, Wendy hired two men to come to her home in the middle of the night, tie Graham and take him to a treatment program in Thompson Falls, Montana. “I was high when they came and really angry with my mom,” he said, “But if she hadn’t done that, drugs would have killed me.” After six months of treatment, Graham, now 19, came back to Kalispell, where he’s grown close to Wendy once again.“I still have the desires every day and attend support meetings every night,” he said, “But life is worth living again. My mom thinks that’s a miracle. I guess she is right.”21. The underlined phrase “shoot up” in paragraph 1 probably means_________.A. increase very quickly and suddenlyB. put illegal drugs into the body by using a needleC. kill or injure someone by using a gunD. try to achieve a particular aim22. When the two men came to their home in the middle of the night, Graham _______.A. had just taken drugs and was in the state of excitement.B. was sleeping in a high bed above the ground.C. had just taken drugs and was in the state of suffering.D. was quarrelling with his mother.23. What conclusion can be drawn from the end of the passage?A. Graham is still using drugs now.B. Graham hates his mother very much.C. Graham thinks he can’t be saved.D. Graham has come off drugs now.BAs the population of the planet increases, so does the number of homes, businesses, parking lots, schools, airports and roadways. All these structures use electricity and need to be lighted. Humans demand these lights. They want their homes more comfortable and they want their streets safe. The problem is that researchers are finding that all the light is having a negative effect on humans and wildlife as well.Less than 10 years ago I drove to a thinly populated section of my town, lay down in the middle of the road and watched an attractive meteor shower (流星雨). The area was short of homes, street lights and traffic. If I did that today, I wouldn't be able to see the meteor shower as well. Due to the increase in street lights, I would surely be run over by a car.Nowadays scientists are finding light pollution can be almost as bad as carbon dioxide pollution. If you've ever taken a flight at night, the view is beautiful, but you must remember that all the light you see wastes electricity. The crew of the space shuttles see an even bigger picture of how extensive the wasted electricity is worldwide.One of the saddest parts of light pollution is that most of it is unnecessary and most of the outdoor light that we use is wasted. One only needs to look at a row of street lights to see how much of the light shines upwards and lights the sky; a total waste of electricity.Additionally, somewhere electricity needs to be produced, and the production of electricity creates pollution by releasing greenhouse gases. This affects the air we breathe and our quality of life.Scientists are also studying the effects of light pollution on wildlife. Thousands of birds die each year when they crash into highly lighted buildings, as they become puzzled by the light. It has been long known that tiny baby sea turtles become lost and follow lights on the shore instead of heading towards the sea.Fortunately, light pollution is one of the easiest sources of pollution that can be corrected without a negative effect. Following some guidelines and a little searching on Google can give you many ideas on how to reduce your contribution to light pollution.24. It is implied in Paragraph 3 that the best way to deal with light pollution is ________.A. reducing the output of the lightsB. avoiding the use of unnecessary lightingC. educating people about light pollutionD. inventing environmentally- friendly lights25. Which of the following is the effect of light pollution?A. Many animals species have died out.B. More traffic accidents happen every day.C. The air we breathe may be polluted.D. It is much easier for us to watch meteor showers.26. What can be inferred from the text?A. We are almost at a loss how to deal with light pollution.B. Global warming results in light pollution in some way.C. Astronauts can’t see clearly in space nowadays.D. Some animals use natural light to direct their movements.27. What will probably be provided following the last paragraph?A. Helpful tips for surfing the Internet.B. approaches to decreasing light pollution.C. Benefits of searching on Google.D. More bad effects of light pollution.CDirector of Overseas FinanceFinancial ServicesEdinburghPermanentUpdated October 30, 2014Reporting into the Administration and Finance Partner, this is a new role with responsibility for oversight and leadership in international financial matters, overseas tax issues and overseas operational management.Key responsibilities include:•Overseeing(监督) development and implementation(实施) of overseas tax strategy and managing relationships with relevant authorities and advisors.•Managing international financial planning, forecasting and reporting requirements.•Analysis and communication of impacts and responses to tax and other regulatory(管理的) documents.•Establishment and maintenance of appropriate systems, controls and records.•Managing and leading senior accountants and managers.Who we’re looking forThe successful candidate will be a qualified accountant with a strong academic record and will have:•Experience of managing the finances of an international commercial organization.•A track record of delivering improved efficiency and effectiveness in financial operations.•Experience of leading and developing teams with proven change management experience.About our customersBaillie Gifford is one of the UK’s leading investment management firms and is a major player in the asset（资产）management business.

Some ran anyway. Some ran away. But no one cancelled on the advice of the organizers, the Chinese Athletic Association and the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Sports, because those organizations did not call it off. That has made participants call the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), which has approved the 26-mile, or 42-kilometer race, to set air quality standards in the future to avoid damaging the runners’ healt h. The association could not be reached by telephone on Sunday.“Does the IAAF have guidelines?” asked Chas Pope, a British engineer who took part in the marathon on Sunday. “If they don’t, they should consider it,” said Mr. Pope, who has lived in Beiji ngfor 11 years and runs several long-distance races each year. “It’s meant to be fun and good for your health,” Mr. Pope said of the marathon. “But in such air, it’s just ridiculous to be running,” he said. He abandoned the course. “Most of my overseas friends pulled out,” he said. “And quite a few of my Chinese friends too, but a lot didn’t. I think they don’t know as much about the health impact.”Images on Twitter and Chinese social media showed Chinese runners wearing a variety of face protections, from light cloth masks to World War I-style gas masks. Still many completed the race without masks. “Today’s race should definitely have been called off or rescheduled,” said Zhang Kai, Beijing-based campaigner with Greenpeace East Asia. “What happened today to this sports even is just another reminder to the government that much remains to be done to China’s energy and industrial structure to solve pollution,” said Mr. Zhang. “If the battle against pollution is a marathon, it is now time to catch up on speed.”In the end, the race was won by two Ethiopians: Girmay Birhanu Gebru won the men’s race in 2 hours, 10 minutes and 42 seconds while Fatuma Sado Dergo won the women’s in 2 hours, 30 minutes and 3 seconds, breaking Chinese women’s advantage of the race for the last 22 years.The favored Chinese woman runner, Gong Lihua, told China News Net that the smog didn’t affect her too much but it interfered with many people’s ability to sweat, affecting their performance.32. The underlined sentences “Some ran anyway. Some ran away.” mean _____________.A. Some runners who dropped out returned to run.B. Some runners gave up after running a short distance.C. Not all runners continued to run.D. Most runners quit the race.33. Why did participants call the IAAF?A. To tell it the Beijing International Marathon was also named Smogathon.B. To appeal to it to set air quality standards in the future.C. To tell it the 42-kilometer race should be cancelled.D. To appeal to it to make some laws to prevent pollution.34. Which of the following states does Chas Pope agree to?A. A dirty haze is harmful to health.B. Running in any air is good.C. The marathon in China should be cancelled.D. Friends should learn from each other.35. Zhang Kai thinks the battle against pollution _______.A. will be the most urgent thing in China.B. should be got rid of immediately.C. is connected with China’s unreasonable energy and industrial structure.D. will remind all the Chinese to reduce pollution.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AOn August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley saved me.The previous afternoon, I played with my six-year-old peers in Heather Peters’ backyard. I was enjoying my cake, when Heather asked me where my sleeping bag was. Only then did I know this party was a sleepover. The word “sleep-over〞to a six-year-old bed-wetter is like what “cancer〞 means to an adult. But what if I told them I was a bed-wetter? At least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running from it.I thought of a way to escape. I would explain that I needed my mother's permission to spend the nights. But as I called my Mom, Heather stood beside me to listen. She granted permission!Then I would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls.I didn't bring my own pajamas (睡衣)，so Mrs. Peters offered me Heather's pajamas.As the other girls drifted into their sweet dreams, I tried to stay awake. “Do I need to go again? I'll stay up to go one more time.. .〞.Of course , I finally fell asleep.The next morning , I was the first to wake up. I was warm! I lay in panic for what seemed like hours before the other girls started to wake up. I did the only thing I could do — I pretended that the bed-wetting didn't happen. I got up, took off Heather's pajamas and changed into my clothes like the other girls.Mrs. Peters walked into the room, and before she could say anything, she stepped right onto the pile of my wet pajamas. My heart stopped as I watched her face burnred. “WHO DID THIS?〞 She screamed, with a look so frightening. Should I answer? And that was when it happened—Mr. Peters came in and grabbed his wife , ‘‘Elvis Presley died!〞The news of the King's death overtook Mrs. Peters, and I ,was spared. I got home without the other girls knowing what had happened.21. The author had to spend the night at Peters' because ________.A. she enjoyed her cake thereB. the famous singer Elvis Presley died that nightC. her mother allowed her to do soD. It was a routine of the party22. Mrs. Peters got angry because ________.A. she found the wet pajamasB. Elvis Presley passed awayC. her husband was rude to herD. all the girls slept at her house23. From the story, we know Mrs. Peters was ________.A. a bad-tempered womanB. a fan of Elvis PresleyC. a woman for perfectionD. a woman who hated to wash pajamas24. The passage is mainly about ________.A. an embarrassing childhood incidentB. a fan-purchasing experienceC. the shocking death of a famous singerD. an unfriendly hostessBBEIJING— China's education authority will tighten the widely criticized policy of “extracredits〞 for the national college entrance examination to ensure a fairer chance for all exam-takers.Under the policy, high school students who win awards in national Olympic competitionscould get ‘‘extra credits’, up to 20 points for the national college entrance exam. Students with talentin sports and students who are from ethnic groups can also benefit from this policy. The extra creditshave increased these students' chances of being admitted by famous universities. Some parents werefound to have helped their children fabricate(伪造)award experiences or falsify qualifications togetextra credits.“It has harmed education equality，〞 the ministry said.Xiong Bingqi, vice-chief of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said the policy isdesigned to help students who have special talents but may be weak in academic performance tohave a chance to receive higher education. It will still be needed but it is time to make the rulesfairer," he said.The ministry said it will reduce the range of competitions whose winners can get extra credits,and limit the winners, privileges.The new policy will apply to students who begin high school in 2011, it said.Chen Lei, a mother of a 10-year-old girl, said she welcomed the ministry's policy adjustmentas she does not want her daughter to become an Olympic competition geek.But not all the Chinese parents welcomed the new policy. “It is like a thunderbolt for me. My 13-year-old son has spent so much time studying Olympic math, and participated in so manytechnological competitions during vacations. It is useless now,〞 said Dong Wen, a 43-year-oldmother.A student said, “Many students have changed the current study plan, and they can abandon thecompetition. I will be interested in learning the courses which can improve my abilities.〞Yuan Guiren, minister of education, told China Daily that the reform is an attempt to consider the overall quality of an applicant. “But the country will not stop the national college entrance examination as it is still the most objective way to evaluate talent in China,〞 he said.25.

Chinese government to push education reformCNew York----Michelle Obama made a daring decision to return to the same designer who created her Inaugural (就职〕Ball dress four years ago -- and the risk paid off.The First Lady looked extremely attractive in a thin, sweeping, and ruby-colored dress by designer Jason Wu. She teamed the dramatic dress with heels by Jimmy Choo and a diamond ring by Kimberly McDonald.She surprised the fashion establishment by returning to a Wu design which had been the custom made for her.Four years ago at her first Inauguration Ball, Michelle shimmered〔熠熠生辉〕in an off-white, one-shouldered floor-length dress by the designer.Wu, who was 26 at the time and had only been working in fashion for three years, saw his career take off after the First Lady's surprise decision to wear one of his dresses.He said at the time that he was unaware she had chosen the dress and had been watching at home on his couch and eating pizza when she appeared.After her 2013 decision, Wu told Women's Wear Daily: “Mrs Obama likes to keep her secrets. She fooled me again.〞Wu released a women's clothing and accessories〔装饰品〕collection at Target last year and continues to be popular with the First Lady for official engagements.The sleeveless, cross-halter neck dress with low-cut back flattered〔突出〕49-year-old Michelle's arms and neat waist.It had been created especially for her by Wu and was a departure from the dark and plain colour tone she stuck to at earlier inauguration events.Mrs Obama's new hairstyle -- she had bangs〔美发沙龙〕cut on her birthday last week had been loosely tousled〔蓬松的〕for the special night.Vice-President Joe Biden's wife Jill also looked attractive in a blue silk dress by Vera Wang at the Inauguration Ball.29.

The colour tone at Michelle’s earlier inaugural events was not satisfactory.D. Mrs Obama had straight forehead hair as her new hairstyle for the special night.32. Which of the following best describes Jason Wu?A. Daring and gifted.B. Unusual and cautious.C. Careful and brave.D. Talented and lucky.DWhen you travel in other countries, you'll have to get yourself well prepared toensure your safety and handle emergencies.Before you leave, you'd better:1. Take out medical insurance policy and learn what the plan covers and whether departure or return to the hometown is covered. Figure out payment choices, such as whether you have to speak directly with the insurance company, before or after treatment, whether you have to pay first and get compensation later.2. Keep up to date on all required vaccinations (接种疫苗) .3. Learn about the city or area where you are going to travel. Know how to say street names and landmarks in the local language. Figure out unique climate issues such as altitude, seasonal changes, potentially risky animals and insects.4.
