I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him.

Money is more important than other things in the US.BWhen I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I t alked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.He listened to me quietly, the n he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like ? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay attention to the other things she said.’’I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good numberI could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That’s just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to d o.”Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments.

She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it sothat it was growing longer and longer.C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.8. Why did her father listen to her quietly?A. Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.B. Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.D. Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.9. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?A. Not an Enemy, but the Best FriendB. The Best Advice I’ve Ever HadC.

We went to meetings and talked a lot, but it didn’t seem to make much difference. ”“Our children grew up in a world at war. They didn’t know when the fighting would stop. They wanted their children to h ave nice clothes and toys. They didn’t want to think about the future. They thought nothing could be done about it.”“Now I have grandchildren, and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world better. They are trying to help other people. They’re making people listen to them. I am proud of their generation.”10. Which generation did NOT want to do anything to make the world a better one?A. Mr. Ellis’ generationB.

In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary:“ My own happiness in the past often got such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was the novel The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quick brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.However, Fitzgerald’s pro blems with his wife Zelda had an effect on his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The love of the last Tycoon in 1940.

ASome t ime ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me.I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception（接待）. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the thirdand the fourth —so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floorand said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?"He looked it over carefully and said, "Yes, not a bad chair. How m uch do you want for it, sir?"“Twenty pounds.” I said.“OK,” he said, "I’ll gi ve you twenty pounds."“It’s got a slightly broken leg." I said.“Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing.”Everything was going according to my plan and l was getting excited. "What willyou do with it?" I asked.“Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done."“I’ll buy it," I said.“What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me," he said."Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-sevenpounds for it."“You must be crazy." he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair."“You’re right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in andsaid, "Would you repair this chair for me?""“I wouldn’t have agreed to do it." he said. "We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll repair this for you. Shall we say forfive pounds?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.21. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer_______.A．was rather impolite B．was warmly receivedC．asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair D．asked the shopkeeper to repairhis chair22. The underlined word "approach" in the second paragraph means_______.A．plan for dealing with things B．way of doing thingsC．idea of repairing things D．decision to sell things23.

B．￡7. C．￡20. D．￡27.BFor career（职业） changers thinking about growth and advancement potential,forget the blue-collar and white-collar categories: Green is the way to go. According to Bracken Hendricks, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Progress, careers that promote environmental responsibility will become main stream within a decade. “The growth in green careers will be like the Internet boom, which not only created newjobs, but also had an influence on the overall economy（经济）,” he says.The increasing environmental problems and need for eco-friendly products andservices are creating a new job section of green-collar jobs. Many countries of theworld have realized the importance and need for energy-saving products and services.It is expected that by 2025 about 25% of the jobs in developed countries will be ofgreen-collar jobs. Doesn’t the data look promising for the future?Green-collar jobs have become a bright career chances for all. And jobs will pop up at every income level, from environmental manager to gardener. For example, manycountries including the United States have understood that fossil fuels have negative effect on the environment which can later become a serious danger to mankind.

The increasing demand of newer resources（资源） has creating the need for experts and researchers who can find better ways to deal with the ongoing needs.In addition, in order to meet the increasing demands of environment-friendly equipment, both green product designer and educated and trained workers are needed. Managementof environmental organizations also demands a large number of environmental managers.Where can you find green-collar jobs? Internet is undoubtedly the best way tofind information on almost any matter. Nowadays, different kinds of jobs are beingposted online. Search through a couple of job websites to look for a bright futurein energy conversion and recycling of waste management. Check regularly and find the right work for yourself.

But recent findings offer good news for olderpeople and people worried about getting older.Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than when they were 18 years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults between the ages of18 and 85 in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry.They also asked about mental or emotional stress.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New Y ork led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25, but dropped sharply after people reachtheir fifties.Happiness was highest among t he youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report negative emotions were those in their seventiesand eighties. The study also showed that men a nd women h ave similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women a t all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older.One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they haveand have better control of their emotions.

For his moving performance of Brown, Daniel Lewis won his first Academy Award for best actor.Shine (1996)Do you have a talent you’re afraid to share with the world? David Helfgott seemed meant from childhood to be “one of the truly great pianists,” but the pressures of performing (and pleasing his father) resulted in a complete breakdown. Ten yearsin a mental institution didn’t weaken Helfgott’s musical gift: When he was rediscovered, he was playing concertos in a bar. Shine received seven Oscar nominations (提名), and Geoffrey Rush won best actor for his performance of Helfgott. Life Is Beautiful (1997)Nothing’s more powerful than the love between a parent and a child. In this heartbreaking Italian film, a father (Roberto Benigni) makes an unbelievable sacrifice for his 4-year-old son: trapped in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945, the Jewish man convinces his boy that they are playing a complicated game. He manages to spare him the horror of the terrible war, and even in his final moments of life, keeps his son smiling and hopeful. Benigni won the best actor Oscar.Stand and Deliver (1988)Few people can inspire us more than a good teacher. Jaime Escalante (Edward James Olmos got Oscar nomination for best actor) is a great one. Employed at a high school where kids are expected to fail, Escalante challenges his math students to struggle for better things, like getting good grades in the AP exam. Despite the obstacles in their lives, the classmates accomplish their goals, thanks to Mr. Escalante’s support. The real Jaime Escalante, the Best Teacher in America, says that Stand and Deliver is “90% truth, 10% drama.”33.If you want to watch a movie about wars, which may be one of your choices?A. Life Is Beautiful.B. Stand and Deliver.C. Shine.D. My Left Foot.34. Which of the following is true according to the four movies’ information?A. My Left Foot was directed by Christy Brown’sB. Geoffrey Rush stayed in a mental institution for ten yearsC. Edward James Olmos received nomination for best actor OscarD. Jaime Escalante has a talent for playing the piano35. What do the four movies have in common?A. They are all based on real stories.B. The main characters are all sick to some degree but succeed.C. The main characters all won Academy Award for Best Actor.D. They are all inspiring stories that make a difference.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。

Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages,from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were give n all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person w orks with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and mil k before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.Opposite to what many people believe, if you don’t eat breakf ast, you will not lose weight.

But outstanding astrophysicist(天体物理学家) Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to rea d until he was eight years old.In a public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall, Professor Hawking also admitted that he was not active in studying while at Ox ford University, where he studied physics, and that only the di agnosis that he might die young from motor neurone(神经元) disease made him concentrate on his work.Professor Hawking said：“My sister Philippa could read by the age of 4 but then she wa s definitely brighter than me.” He said that he was unexceptio nal at school and was never further than halfway up his class.“My classwork was very untidy, and my handwriting was the despair of my teachers，” he said.“But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein, so presumably they saw signs of s omething better.”But he said that it was when doctors told him that he probably only had a few years to live at the age of 21 that galvanized h im into focusing on his work and a period of productivity that r esulted in some of his early breakthroughs.

Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly the Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.12.

And ther e's no time to wait for the grass to grow back again if it all goe s wrong. So Naylor has to get it right for the first time. “If you a ccidentally cut the wrong bit off, you can't just patch(修补) it up again. You can't start again.”“Planning is key，” he says. “Grass is not a nice artistic mediu m. It's not very easy to handle.” Besides, lawn art may be imp ressive, but it only happens during the summer. “The rest of my year, I'm painting or using pens, pencils—normal things.”He may have cut out a new professional field, but he sees it li ke any other art project. “When you become a lawn artist, youhave to say yes to any challenge.”However, as the rain falls over each new artwork, the grass s oon grows back and the image is quickly lost. “That's the ann oying thing about nature，” says Naylor.5．How was Naylor's first art work in the lawn?A．It was only a small one. B．It was difficult to create. C．It made him famous. D．It was created in winter. 6．What matters most to a lawn artist?A．Accuracy. B．Opportunity. C．Knowledge. D．Courage .7．What can we infer about lawn art?A．It has a long history. B．It can be created randomly. C．Rain is a help to the lawn art. D．It is a combination of ar t and gardening.CThe days of staring at the computer screen pretending to take an interest in an assignment even though you are bored out of your mind may soon be coming to an end. That's because computers of the future will be able to detect boredom and ev en react to it in real time.But before you get concerned, the machine is not reading you r mind. It is just keeping track of the constant involuntary movements that people exhibit when in front of a computer or eve n a television. These are not the bigger instrumental actions li ke moving a mouse or using the remote, but sensitive hardly noticeable movements like scratching. Researcher Witchel sa ys the level of movement directly shows how absorbed the pe rson is in what he/she is reading or watching—the higher the interest level, the less the movement!To test the theory, Witchel and his team invited 27 people and exposed them to a variety of digital content for three minutes at a time. The activities ranged from playing online games to r eading documents like the EU banking regulations that most p eople would find boring.A video motion (动作) tracker monitored their movements as they powered throu gh each assignment. Just as the researchers had suspected, the involuntary actions decreased remarkably, by as much as 42%, when the subjects were totally absorbed in what they w ere reading or seeing.Fortunately, the scientists are not planning to use the findings to create machines that report students who are not focusing at school. Instead, they believe that applying the motion detec ting technology to future computers will help improve the digit al learning experience.The scientists say being able to judge the student's interest le vel will enable educators to adjust the materials in real time a nd reengage the student. Witchel also believes that the techn ology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions. 8．Which movement does the machine keep track of? A．Breathing. B．Typing. C．Scratching. D．Walking. 9．What might people's high level of movement indicate durin g TVwatching?A．They are getting excited. B．They are feeling bored. C．They are very interested. D．They are thinking actively. 10．How did the researchers come to the conclusion?A．By a followup survey. B．By analysing previous data. C．By means of questionnaires. D．By observing participant s' performance.11．Which field will detecting technology be applied to? A．Agriculture. B．Politics. C．Industry. D．Education.DThis month, Germany’s transport minister, Alexander Dobrindt , proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles(自主驾驶车辆). They would define the driver’s role in such cars and gover n how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost.The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the “death valley” of autonomous vehicles: the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driv erless future.Dobrindt wants three things: that a car always chooses proper ty(财产) damage over personal injury; that it never distinguishes be tween humans based on age or race; and that if a human rem oves his or her hands from the driving wheel — to check emai l, say — the car’s maker is responsible if there is a crash.“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic d riving,” says Dobrindt. It will put fully driverless cars on an equ al legal footing to human drivers, he says.Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not cl ear among car makers, consumers and lawyers. “The liability(法律责任) issue is the biggest one of them all,” says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds, UK.An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars, introd uced earlier this year, insists that a human “ be watchful and monitoring the road” at every moment.But that is not what many people have in mind when thinkingof driverless cars. “When you say ‘driverless cars’, people exp ect driverless cars.” Merat says. “You know — no driver.” Bec ause of the confusion, Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without operation. Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport ra ther than vehicles you own, says Ryan Calo at Stanford Unive rsity, California. That is happening in the UK and Singapore, where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched.That would go down poorly in the US, however. “The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat the m as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here,” says Calo.12. What does the phrase “death valley” in Paragraph 2 refer t o?A. A place where cars often break down.B. A case where pa ssing a law is impossible.C. An area where no driving is permitted.D. A situation where drivers’ role is not clear.13. What do consumers think of the operation of driverless ca rs?A. It should get the attention of insurance companies.B. It should be the main concern of law makers.C. It should not cause deadly traffic accidents.D. It should involve no human responsibility.14. Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in __________.A. SingaporeB. the UKC. the USD. Germany15. What could be the best title for passage?A. Autonomous Driving: Whose Liability?B. Fully Automatic Cars: A New InventionC. Autonomous Vehicles: Driver RemovedD.

Since its launch a little over two wees ago, Velib has already seen almost half a million rentals. And, with the addition of 10,000 more bies and 700 more stations in the net 12 months, city officials epect at least 200,000 regular users by year end.Parisian Oliver Bioret has already gone for a spin on one of Velib’s vehicles and plans to mae use of them more often.It’s a real pleasure —when, lie me, you don’t have space enough in you flat to have your own bie—to be able to discover, to cross Paris and not have to tae the subway,” he said.As a socialist and longtime green activist, Mayor Bertrand Delanoe regards Velib as just a part of his plan to reduce car traffic and thus, lower pollution by 2020.Apart from its environmental benefits, Velib is also being praised as a way of collecting money for the city, for all the money from rentals goes to the city government.Paris is not alone in its attempt to profit from the power of the bicycles.Across the globe, cities such as Barcelona, which stated its bie-share program in March with 1,500 vehicles and 100 stations, and New Yor, which launched a five-day trial program last month are using bicycles as a way to cut bac on both traffic and pollution.However, it remains to be seen whether people’s acceptance of these program is simply a passing fashion or whether this movement has the power to tae root and transform the face of public transportation around the world.4. The real purpose of Velib is _______.A. to help people save money and spaceB. To mae some money for the city governmentC. to provide convenience to both Parisians and touristsD. to reduce traffic and pollution in the city.5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.

There will be 200,000 regular rentals each day by year end.6. We can now from the passage that _______.A. other cities also have such programsB. Parisians can use the bicycles free of chargeC. Paris sets an eample to many other citiesD. Paris is the first city to start such a program.7. As to the future of the program, the author is _______.A. criticalB. optimisticC. uncertainD. negativeCPioneering front-row White House journalist Helen Thomas died at age 92 after a long illness. Thomas covered 10 presidents over nearly half a century, and becamea legend in the industry.She was always at White House news conferences — sitting front and center —where she frequently annoyed government spoesmen with her pointed questions.Thomas began covering the White House for United Press International when John F. ennedy became president in 1961 and was a fiture there until her retirement in 2010.In a written statement, Obama called Thomas a “true pioneer” and said she ept the presidents she covered —including himself—on their toes.Thomas, the daughter of Lebanese immigrants, was born in Winchester, entucy on August 4,1920. She was one of nine children. Thomas was raised in Detroit, where she attended Wayne State Unive rsity and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 1942.In describing her job, Thomas once said, “ I’ve never covered the president in any way other than that he is ultimately responsible.”Thomas embraced the freedoms of a columnist with vigor(活力). No question seemed off-limits for her. Colleagues remember her as a genuinely fearless woman who ased the toughest questions of presidents, no matter their party.In January 2009, as President George Bush was preparing to leave office, Thomas aimed her editorial guns at him and his administration. In a commentary, she slammed (抨击) Bush for what she considered his failings, including leading the country “into a senseless war against Iraqi a calamity still under way as he leaves office almost si years after the invas ion.” She considered him “the worst president ever”.8.

What can we learn about Helen Thomas from the tet?A. She covered 10 presidents over a period of 49 years.B. She often raised unreasonable questions.C. She was born and brought up in Lebanon.D. She was criticied by President Obama.11.How did Thomas comment on George Bush?A. He should be ept on his toes.B. He was forced to be responsible.C. He didn’t deserve to be president.D. He shouldn’t have started the Iraq War.DA survey has shown that what you do on a plane can be determined by which nationality is listed on your passport.According to the results of an international passenger survey, Australians are the biggest driners on board with 36 percent choosing to down the hatch(干杯), compared to 35 percent of Americans and 33 percent of Brits.The Airline Passenger Eperience Association(APE) spoe to around 1,500 people, aged 18 and older, who have travelled by plane at least once during the last three months and were living in the United States, United ingdom, Germany, Japan, China, Singapore, Australia and Brail.The results found Chinese travelers are most liely to nod off once the seat-belt sign switches off. They are also the first to tae out their credit card for some in-flight shopping and the biggest fans of gaming. Americans on the other hand lie to use their time in the air more productively—when not drining—choosing to wor while flying at 35,000 feet.Meanwhile, Brits and Germans are the best at maing chat with random strangers—spending 50 percent more time than any other nationality. Comparatively, Brailians conduct their conversations online via email, messaging apps or social media.Despite plane food having a bad reputation, seven out of ten interviewees said they were happy to eat up on the selection of in-flight snacs and meals. In-flight magaines were also popular with four out of five passengers.The international flyers did however epress their desire for better in-flight entertainment. “The industry has greatly improved the comfort, entertainment and onboard service, and passengers are accepting those improvements” said Russell Lemieu, APE eecutive director. “At the same t ime, passengers are demanding more from their air travel eperiences which will drive more improvements touching all aspects of the journey. ” he added.12. What can you probably see in the flight according to the passage?A. Brailians choose to drin.B. Americans do in-flight shopping.C. Germans chat to ill the time.D. The Chinese switch off the seat-belt sign.13. When on board the plane, ______.A. passengers from one nation have little in commonB. most passengers lie to read in-flight magainesC. more than half of the passengers don’t enjoy plane foodD. most people tend to use in-flight time to have a good sleep.14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Flyers care little about entertainment.B. Flyers are not satisfied with the improvements.C. Flyers are epecting better flight eperiences.D. Flyers have more and more demands from airlines.15. What’s the purpose of the passage?A. To entertain readers with interesting stories.B. To encourage people to behave well in public.C. To criticie impolite behaviors on the plane.D. To inform readers of the results of a survey.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。
