W：OK, that's no problem. But I must warn you that living with a family in London is very expensive.

I spoke to Carlos Rovel, the Springfield captain, at his hotel last night. I asked him if he expected to win tomorrow's game, Carlos told me that his team was in very good condition, that they were playing very well, and that he felt they definitely deserved to win. He said it would be a terrible surprise if they didn't. He knew it was going to be a hard game, but he was looking forward to it. He wasn't worried, and other players weren't nervous either. I then asked him about the cup. He said they could lose the game but still win a cup, but that was not what he wanted. He told me the team was training this afternoon to get used to the field. When I asked him who would play, he said that was a secret, and we would know it an hour before the game started. He said that sometimes people became too careless because they didn't think that maybe he was going to be a starting player.

第二局部：阅读理解(共两节，总分为40分)
第一节：(共15小题；每一小题2分，总分为30分)
阅读如下短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最优选项。

A
[2014·江西省红色六校第二次联考]Someday a stranger will read your e－mail without your permission or scan the Website you've visited, or perhaps someone will
casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.
In fact, it's likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girl friend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen－the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it's important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.
The key question is: Does that matter?
For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no.〞
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.〞
But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZ－Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acauisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50－cents－off coupon (优惠卷)．
But privacy does matter－at least sometimes. It's like health: When you have it, you don't notice it. Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it.
21. What does the author mean by saying “the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked〞 (Para. 2)?
A. People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.
B. In the 21st century people try every means to look into others' secrets.
C. People's personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.
D. Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.
22. What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?
A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.
B. There should be a distance even between friends.
C. Friends should always be faithful to each other.
D. There should be fewer disputes between friends.
23. Why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret〞 (Para. 3)?
A. People leave traces around when using modern technology.
B. Modern society has finally evolved into an open society.
C. There are always people who are curious about others' affairs.
D. Many search engines profit by revealing people's identities.
24. What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection?
A. They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.
B. They use various loyalty cards for business transactions.
C. They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.
D. They rely most and more on electronic devices.
本文主要论述在当今信息时代，个人信息因受他人窃取，而影响到私人空间。

21. C'句意理解题。

根据第二段第一句话，我们得知有人会在未经允许的情况下窃取我们的个人信息，如第一段所说的电子邮件、网址、信用卡购物与等，我们的个人信息赤裸裸地暴露给陌生人，毫无遮掩。

C项中的is easily accessed without their knowledge 同义于原文中的watch you without your permission。

故C正确。

22. B'细节理解题。

根据题干中关键词psychologist、friend定位到第三段第一、二句话。

心理学家认为与他人保持一定界限是有益的，虽然会向朋友、家人、爱人倾诉，但是有一些事情是有底线和界限的。

B项中的distance同义于原文中的boundary，跟本段第二句话but few boundaries remain意义一致。

故B正确。

23. A'细节理解题。

第三段第三句话告诉我们：我们在使用高科技时所留下的点滴信息都会为陌生人了解我们提供线索。

例如谷歌搜索引擎就会泄漏我们的想法。

因此进一步得出结论：我们正生活在一个连保守秘密都很困难的世界里。

A项中的trace同义于原文中的
digital bread crumbs所暗示的意思。

故A正确。

24. C'细节理解题。

根据倒数第二段第一句得知，people say one thing and do another，即言行不一。

随后举例说明，美国人为了一点利益而提供个人信息。

故C正确。

B
[2014·湖南怀化模拟]It is generally believed that we are getting cleaned when we step under a shower. We are, but we're also giving a home to lots of tiny little creatures we didn't even know about. A showerhead carries thousands of bacteria called Mycobacterium. These can cause problems like coughs and tiredness, and a general feeling of poorliness (身体不舒服). When you turn on the water, the bacteria go from the showerhead onto and into your body.
This is a finding of Norman R. Pace and his team at the University of Colorado, in the US. The scientists investigated bacteria in all kinds of human environment, including showers. Pace's team looked at 45 showerheads in nine American cities. They discovered that 30 percent of them had large amounts of flying Mycobacterium.
But Pace said that they pose few threats to the health. Only those with a weak immune system might need to worry. He told the New York Times that the bacteria are not as unpleasant as might be thought. He said that having a shower is no more dangerous than anything else we do in the morning.
But for those who feel sick about the idea of all those microorganisms (微生物), he had some advice. Let the water run for 30 seconds before getting into the shower. Why? The number of bacteria is smaller than that when the water is just turned on. If that seems like a waste of water, he added that you could also change your showerhead every few months.
However, Pace had good news too. He has also been testing the air in US subways. Apart from iron particles (粒子), which are ground off the track by the wheels of trains, subway air is fresh. The reason is that a train's movement pumps fresh outdoor air into the tunnels.
Pace explained that he wanted to understand the natural microbial environments of public places. This kind of knowledge might help discover the microbes to be used in a bioterrorist (生物恐怖分子) attack.
25. From the finding of Norman R. Pace, after taking a shower, we might cough
or feel tired because________.
A. it's easy to get a cold when taking a bath
B. the showerhead carries many bacteria causing illness
C. we don't get cleaned while showering
D. we don't get a weak immune system
26. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Hot water could kill most of bacteria in showerheads.
B. Of 45 showerheads surveyed in nine cities, 30 carried large amounts of Mycobacterium.
C. Changing showerheads is the only way to avoid microorganisms.
D. Shower water contains much less bacteria after being left to run for 30 seconds.
27. We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.
A. having a shower in the morning is more dangerous than at other time
B. the bacteria always threat people's health
C. there is no reason to fear microorganisms for people with strong immune system
D. it is better to do some exercise in the morning than have a shower
28. What contributes to fresh air in US subways?
A. The train's movement.
B. Iron particles.
C. Train wheels.
D. Air conditioners on the trains.
文章介绍Norman R．Pace和他的团队发现的结果，大多数淋浴头含有致病的细菌，但是这不会对人的健康有危害，但是免疫力差的人要注意，他还研究了美国的地铁，结果发现，地铁里面的空气是新鲜的。

25. B'细节题：从文第一段的句子：A showerhead carries thousands of bacteria called Mycobacterium. These can cause problems like coughs and tiredness，and a general feeling of poorliness可知根据Norman R．Pace的发现，我们在洗过澡后会感冒会咳嗽，因为淋浴头会携带很多致病的细菌，选B。

26. D'细节题：从文章第四段的句子：But for those who feel sick about the idea
of all those microorganisms(微生物), he had some advice. Let the water run for 30 seconds before getting into the shower. Why? The number of bacteria is smaller than that when the water is just turned on.可知淋浴水在流了30秒后，细菌就少多了。

选D。

27．C'推理题：从第三段的句子：Only those with a weak immune system might need to worry.可知对免疫力强的人没有必要害怕微生物，选C。

28. A'细节题：从文章第五段的句子：Apart from iron particles(粒子)，which are ground off the track by the wheels of trains, subway air is fresh. The reason is that a train's movement pumps fresh outdoor air into the tunnels.可知美国的地铁里面，火车的运动对新鲜空气是有帮助的，选A。

[2014·江西省余江一中四模]Bedazzling (眼花缭乱) with their bright colors and eye－catching displays, fireworks light up our night skies during the holidays. However, these crowd－pleasers can have some damaging side effects.
Once a firework is set off, it only takes a couple of seconds before smoke, dust and harmful chemicals are let out into the atmosphere. The loud booming noises are caused by gunpowder. While the sounds may excite some people, they can be frightening to domestic and wild animals－as well as some humans.
The pretty colors you see are a result of more chemicals. Barium, added to make green, is known for its poisonous and radioactive qualities. Blue comes from copper compounds. Cadmium, lithium and lead－all found in fireworks－have been linked to diseases, such as allergies and skin rashes in both humans and animals. Acid rain has been linked to gases given off by fireworks, which sometimes go beyond the toxin(毒素) limits of the United States Clean Air Act.
Once all those chemicals come back down to the ground, they can cause problems too. Debris (碎片) from the fireworks falls to the ground, where animals can burn their paws or noses on piping hot pieces. Humans also are at risk of stepping on or picking up something sharp or hot. Meanwhile, debris that finds its way into waterways can damage animal habitats and water supply sources.
Instead of setting off fireworks, try to come up with some new ways for fun. Here are some ideas to get you started：
·Sky lanterns－a tradition that originated long ago in the most－populated Asian country.
·Party crackers－a favorite in the United Kingdom－give you noise and surprises without the mess of fireworks. You can make your own or buy eco－friendly crackers.
·Want noise excitement with less volume? Consider a firework's sound recording beforehand or break out the party horns (号角) and blow up a storm!
29. The advantages of fireworks can be seen below EXCEPT that________.
A. the special sounds of fireworks excite people
B. debris from fireworks can even find its way into water
C. the pretty and bright colors add to the beauty of night skies
D. fireworks are enjoyed as one of the crowd－pleasers
30. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Copper compounds are needed to make green in fireworks.
B. Chemicals in fireworks are both poisonous and dangerous.
C. Too much gases from fireworks can result in acid rain.
D. Chemicals in fireworks are harmful in the air and on the ground.
31. What is implied from the passage?
A. Gunpowder in fireworks makes loud booming noises.
B. It must be Indians who first started to hang sky lanterns.
C. Fireworks does less harm in the air than on the ground.
D. Fireworks can even break the balance of nature.
32. What can be concluded as the writer's attitude towards fireworks?
A. It is not allowed to set off fireworks except during the holidays.
B. Fireworks should be banned and replaced by some other means.
C. Night is the best time to set off fireworks and see the pretty colors.
D. You cannot set off fireworks unless you come up with new ways.
本文主要讲述的是燃放烟花爆竹的害处，呼吁我们不要再燃放烟花爆竹，以保护我们的环境不受破坏。

29. B'细节题。

根据文章1,2段中的However，these crowd－pleasers can have some damaging side effects. While the sounds may excite some people，和Bedazzling(眼花缭乱) with their bright colors and eye－catching displays可知A、C、D三项都是
烟花的好处。

只有B项文章没有提与。

30. A'细节题。

根据文章第三段第三句Blue comes from copper compounds.可知含有铜的物质会带来蓝色。

故A项中说带来绿色的说法是错误的。

31. D'推理题。

根据文章第4段最后一句Meanwhile，debris that finds its way into waterways can damage animal habitats and water supply sources.可知这些烟花中的有害物质甚至进入了水循环，破坏我们的自然平衡。

故D正确。

32. B'推理题。

根据Instead of setting off fireworks，try to come up with some new ways for fun. Here are some ideas to get you started：可知作者认为我们应该禁止燃放烟花，因为他们污染了环境。

我们也应该使用另外一些别的方法来替代烟花。

故B 正确。

D
[2014·陕西咸阳模拟]BEIJING－Family planning officers will handle the illegal birth case of film director Zhang Yimou by following legal procedures, a government spokesman said on Tuesday, December 10, 2013.
When asked to comment on Zhang's case at a press conference, Yao Hongwen, spokesman for the National Health and Family Planning Commission(NHFPC), said “Every citizen is equal before the law and nobody is allowed to have privileges (特权) to give birth to more children than allowed.〞
Yao's comment came after media stories claimed that Zhang had remarried and fathered a total of seven children: one with his former wife, three with his present wife, Chen Ting, and another three from two lovers. “The NHFPC's attitude towards citizens' birth violations (违法) is consistent and clear...Every Chinese citizen should obey and safeguard the seriousness of laws and regulations.〞 NHFPC spokesman Yao Hongwen said.
China's family planning policy, introduced in the late 1970s to slow down the country's growing population, limits most urban couples to one child and most rural couples to two. The policy was recently relaxed, allowing couples to have two children if one of them is an only child.
Those who break the policy face severe fines. The amount of the fine is generally several times the yearly annual income of the two spouses (配偶). Some media calculations put the fine that Zhang may face at as much as 160 million yuan(over
$26 million)．
Zhang's birth case has caused criticism online about famous people who have more children than the policy allows.
In an open letter on December 1, Zhang admitted that the couple has two sons and daughter and they are willing to accept investigation and punishment according to China's laws and regulations. He apologized to the public.
However, the letter denied that Zhang had lovers and was father to as many as seven children from various mothers.
Zhang, one of the “fifth generation〞 of Chinese filmmakers, made his first directorial work in 1987 with “Red Sorghum〞 and has won a number of award worldwide. He was chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games.
33. The purpose of the news report is to ________.
A. claim that Zhang Yimou remarried and fathered a total of seven children
B. inform us that Zhang's illegal birth case will be dealt with by the government
C. convince us that Zhang is a famous director and his case will be pardoned
D. confirm that Zhang's illegal birth case has resulted in lots of criticism online
34. According to Yao Hongwen, which of the following statements is true?
A. Every Chinese citizen should obey and safeguard laws and regulations.
B. Few people have the privileges to give birth to more children than allowed.
C. China's family planning policy has never been relaxed since introduced.
D. Zhang will be fined as much as 160 million yuan for his violations.
35. Judging from the recent relaxed policy, a couple________.
A. can have as many as three children if they live in a rural area
B. will definitely be fined if they have two children nowadays
C. can give birth to two children if one of them is an only child
D. can only give birth to two children if they live in an urban area
本文属于新闻类短文，主要讲述的是张艺谋超生的问题，以与政府对于这一案件的处理态度。

33. B'主旨大意题。

根据文章第一段Family planning officers will handle the illegal birth case of film director Zhang Yimou by following legal procedures, a government spokesman said on Tuesday, December 10,2013.可知本文主要讲述的是张艺谋超生的问题，以与政府对于这一案件的处理态度。

故B正确。

34. A'推理题。

根据文章第二段最后一句“Every citizen is equal before the law and nobody is allowed to have privileges(特权) to give birth to more children than allowed.〞可知Yao Hongwen认为任何人在法律面前都是平等的，没有人可以有凌驾于法律之上的特权。

故A正确。

35. C'细节题。

根据文章第四段最后一句The policy was recently relaxed，allowing couples to have two children if one of them is an only child.可知父母亲是单独的可以再生一个孩子。

故C项正确。

__38__ Higher ocean temperatures kill the important food source(来源) for the coral－the algae, the tiny greenish－gold water plants that live on coral.__39__ This process has happened more and more frequently in recent years.
The last factor contributing to the disappearance of coral reefs is people. People sometimes crash into reefs with their boats, breaking off large blocks of coral.__40__ Moreover, some people even break coral off to collect for souvenirs since it is so colorful and pretty.
A. Global warming is another reason.
B. Many might not even last that long!
C. Divers who walk on reefs can also do serious damage.
D. Reefs provide a home for 25% of the fish in the ocean.
E. Chemicals from the poisons kill reefs or make them weak.
F. Steps must be taken now to stop over－fishing and pollution of the oceans.
G. When the algae die, the coral loses its color and it also dies in the end.
