A
One of my best friends flew down from Alaska to celebrate her 40th birthday with me. We explored the countryside with no real agenda or constraint. The grand finale (压轴戏) was a beautiful outdoor dinner filled with memorable conversation and laughter. We headed out on the one-and-a-half-hour mountain pass drive in the pitch dark, still engaged in deep conversation.
About 45 miles from home, I noticed the low fuel light was on, and I looked on my car’s computer to see that we had one mile until we were out of fuel. Oh, no! How could I have forgotten to check before heading out of the town? I didn’t want to alarm my friend, and didn’t interrupt her story. I started praying and told myself to keep calm.
Running out of fuel on this route would have been truly catastrophic at 10:30 p.m. It is incredibly dark and rugged（崎岖的）, and there’s not a lot of traffic. There are no towns, few people, and definitely no petrol stations. My mind raced as I considered the tragic possibilities.
I finally calmly told my friend about our situation. She started strategizing about what we would do and how we could call my husband, Steve, but I didn’t want him to have to get our three children out of bed. There was the tow truck option, but we would have to be on the side of the road in the middle of the wilderness for at least 45 minutes! All of the options were truly terrible.
She was nervous, and all I could do was constantly tell her I was certain we would make it. Sure enough, we did. We literally made it over 40 miles with no fuel, and I know that my car’s fuel measurement system is pretty accurate. Now, there is the logical part of my brain, trying to make excuses for the situation and the car and every other possible option. But inside, I heard the truth: we experienced a miracle.
56. From the first paragraph, we can infer that the author and her friend ______.
A. were enjoying themselves on the way
B. hadn’t seen each other for a long time
C. were nervous when driving in the countryside
D. had a serious conversation in the car
57. When the author first found they were almost out of fuel, she ______.
A. told her friend instantly
B. tried to find a petrol station nearby
C. secretly tried to keep calm
D. made a phone call to the police
58. What does the underlined word probably mean in the third paragraph?
A. terrible
B. nervous.
C. harmful.
D. unexpected.
59. Why didn’t the author want to call her husband?
A. She was worried about bothering her husband.
B. She knew she could still drive a long way.
C. She thought her friend could find out a solution.
D. She didn’t want her children to have to get up.

Taking photographs at a birthday or a wedding has become as natural as blowing out candles or cutting the cake. But our obsession with recording every detail of our happiest moments could be damaging our ability to remember them, according to a new research. A study has shown that taking pictures rather than concentrating fully on the events in front of us prevents memories taking hold.
Dr. Linda Henkel, from Fairfield University, Connecticut, described it as the “photo-taking impairment effect”. She said, “People often pull out their cameras almost mindlessly to capture a moment, to the point where they are missing what is happening right in front of them. When people rely on technology to remember for them — counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves — it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences.”
Dr. Henkel and her team carried out an experiment in a museum to learn if taking pictures of the exhibits was hindering the ability of visitors to remember what they had seen.
A group of university students were led on a tour at the Bellarmine Museum of Art at Fairfield University and were asked to either photograph or try and remember objects on display. The next day their memory was tested. The results showed that people were less accurate in recognizing the objects they had photographed than those they had only looked at. It was found that their memory for the details of the objects they had photographed was poorer.
H enkel’s lab is currently investigating whether the content of a photo, such as whether you are in it, affects memory. She is also researching whether actively choosing what to photograph might influence what we remember.
Previous research suggests that reviewing photos we have taken does help us remember objects, but only if we take the time.
“Research has suggested that the sheer volume and lack of organization of digital photos for personal memories discourages many people from accessing and recalling them. In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them,” said Dr. Henkel.
66. What does the word, “them”, in the first paragraph, refer to?
A. Gifts at a birthday.
B. People who go to parties.
C. Photos taken at a wedding.
D. Details of the happiest moments.
67. What is the “photo-taking impairment effect”?
A. Some unhappy events may impair the effects of photos.
B. Taking photographs of objects ruins one’s memory of them.
C. The effects of photos are strongly affected by bad cameras.
D. Memories last forever when people take the photos they like most.
68. What can we learn about Dr. Linda Henkel’s study?
A. A group of high school students were involved.
B. The memory of participants was tested the following week.
C. People who just looked at the objects remembered fewer details.
D. People who photographed objects were worse at recognizing them.
69. With which of the following may Dr. Linda Henkel agree?
A. Reviewing photos improves memories of objects.
B. Focusing on people at events is the best way to remember.
C. Relying on technology to remember affects the memory.
D. Counting on cameras to record events is always reliable.
70. The passage is probably taken from _____________.
A. a health magazine
B. a cultural overview
C. an economics report
D. an entertainment website

Section B (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
SEOUL, March 21-- Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Saturday urged Japan to face its wartime history squarely and handle the historical issues properly so as to pave the way for the smooth development of bilateral ties.
The historical issues came under the spotlight as this year marked the 70th anniversary of the victory of World Anti-Fascist War and War of Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang said when meeting his Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida on the sidelines of a trilateral foreign ministers' meeting between China, South Korea and Japan.
Japan's attitude toward the aggression war, which is related to the political basis of China-Japan relations, has a direct impact on Tokyo's ties with its neighbors, Wang said.
"I hope Japan could grasp the opportunity and face up to the history in order to unload the historical burden and advance toward the future with its neighbors," he stressed.
The Chinese top diplomat also noted a four-point consensus, reached between China and Japan at the APEC meeting in Beijing last year, was the first step taken by both sides toward the improvement of their ties. But the real improvement of China-Japan relations depends on the implementation (贯彻、落实) of the consensus, he said.
"What the three countries should consider now is how to ensure that the three-way cooperation will not be interrupted again and how to guarantee the healthy and smooth development of the trilateral cooperation," Wang said.
As neighbors and major economies, China, South Korea and Japan should join hands to contribute to the economic development of the region and the world at large, the Chinese foreign minister said.
But in recent years, bilateral relations among the three countries have met with difficulties due to the perception of history which has troubled the three-way cooperation and gone against the common interests of the three nations and the expectations of the international community, Wang said.
81.According to Wang Yi, to ensure the ties between China and Japan to improve smoothly, what
should Japan do? (No more than 13 words) (2 marks)
_____________________________________________________________________________ 82.What will have a direct impact on the relationship among Japan and its neighbors? (No more
than 6 words) (2 marks)
_____________________________________________________________________________ 83.What helped China and Japan to take the first step to improve their ties? (No more than 6
words) (3 marks)
_____________________________________________________________________________ 84.What should Japan, South Korea and China take into account to implement the consensus?
（No more than 16 words）(3 marks)

作文主题：积极面对生活
[参考范文]
In our journey of life, it’s our great fortune to meet with something or someone. Be grateful for what they bring us and cherish what we have. Just like our drinking glass, whether half full or half empty, we are lucky to have such a glass and own what there is in it.
Take Helen Keller, a famous American writer as an example. She became disabled when she was young. Instead of feeling depressed and complaining “Why Me”，she chose a positive attitude to life and regarded what she encountered as the best gift God gave her. Bearing gratitude for life , she met with her lifelong teacher Sullivan and finished her famous novel Three Days to See. It was the painful times of her life that made her stronger, wiser and more loving.
Though pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Be grateful for our life with all its lessons and blessings, and success and happiness is just around the corner!
详细解释：
21．B. 考查定语从句。

which在定语从句中做宾语，代building
22. B. 考查时态。

因为有时间状语recently 这个副词，能判断事情是发生在最近，所
以用现在完成时态have/has done。

23. A. 考查名词性从句。

It是做形式主语，而这个空是来充当主语从句的，在主语从
句中，动词do 后面缺少宾语，所以选what. 句意为：当你全身心投入一项工作时候，你一定会一鸣惊人。

24. B. 考查非谓语动词。

在with 的复合结构中，这个空是来充当宾语补足语的，filled
在句子中是表示一种状态。

25. D. 考查特殊句式。

祈使句+状语从句，从句为if 引导的条件状语从句。

句意为：
想象一下如果没有办法起到重要作用，没有办法去参与，没有办法对生活产生积极的影响，那该有多糟糕啊！
26. B. 考查状语从句的省略。

在连词unless 后省略了主语misunderstandings 和be动
词，完整结构为unless misunderstandings are handled properly, …..
27. D. 考查状语从句。

在whatever引导的让步状语从句中，省略了be动词。

完整
结构为whatever your age or situation is,……句意为：不管你多大，也不管你身处怎样的境况，从现在开始，你都应该活的充实。

28. C. 考查非谓语动词。

在整个句子中，有谓语动词gives, 可以判断缺主语，所以用
动名词形式做主语。

句意为：做出积极的贡献会让你拥有更加积极的心态。

29. B. 考查非谓语动词。

当名词前面有序数词，或形容词的最高级修饰时候要用动
词不定式来做定语, 所以这道题应该选to teach 来修饰名词person.
30. C. 考查时态。

在主句中有动词的过去式did, 可以判断出事情是发生在过去。

应
该是说当这个女的正在被抢劫时候，为什么很多人袖手旁观？
31. A. 考查时态。

从句意可以判断出来是发生在将来的事情，所以用一般将来时态。

32. A. 考查强调句。

这里使用了强调结构it is not until +被强调部分+that +其他部分。

33. D. 考查主谓一致。

Buying clothes 是动名词做主语，谓语动词用单数，排除A,C.
在后面是一个定语从句修饰的是clothes, 是复数形式，谓语动词也用复数。

34. D. 考查倍数表达法。

此处的句式结构为“倍数+the +名词+of”。

35. C. 考查虚拟语气。

在it is high time 的结构中，从句用一般过去式或者是should do
sth. 因此句式为：It is high time that sb should do sth.或It is high time that sb did sth.
