It was thought it would prevent them from developing lip- reading skills and speech.Early History of BSLSince BSL is an unwritten language, its early history is (33) ________ understood. The very few written records about (34) ________ of sign language by the deaf communities in Britain were almost created by the hearing people, which makes them questionable about the language itself.

BSL in the 20th CenturyThere has been a major progress in the establishment of BSL as an important language in the 19th century but most deaf individuals learned the sign language by themselves rather than inschools. In addition, the early 20th century saw the rise of opposition to the sign language that persist ed all the way to the 1970. Deaf children were discouraged and even punished for (39) ________ and forced to learn finger-spelling and lip-reading. The negative attitude towards BSL changed only when it became clear that such approach is not showing satisfactory results and rise of the awareness that BSL is not just a collection of gestures, but a key to (40) ________with deaf people.

Each passage is followed by four questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)When first entered, V anak Restaurant does not look like much of a restaurant, but once the pleasant smells of kabob (烤肉串) hit the senses, you are incapable of calling it anything less.Owned by a local couple, this Persian restaurant has inviting(诱人的), homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack, The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration, but the environment is truly charming. Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner, the restaurant still attracts all customers specially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking.A common sight is that of old Persian men seated in the corner talking freely and loudly about current topics, watching the latest news on the small screen, drinking a black tea known as Persian chai, and reading local Persian newspapers all the while trying to finish off their plates piled with food.The variety of food at the restaurant is limited, but the amount of each dish is fairly large. Most of the meals can serve two people and are under ＄10, so not only is it affordable but practical as well,The food, especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy, made with limited fat and oil and served straight of the grill (烤肉架). The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs which are different styles of grilled meat.One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob, which is made of grilled chicken pieces served with either rice or bread. Another great kabob is the Chelo kabob, a kabob consisting of grilled beef.Although the restaurant is small, the atmosphere is warm and the food is delicious. It is a place that could not be overlooked.56. When first entering the restaurant, one can find that itA.has pleasant smells of kabobsB.is splendidly decoratedC.is crowded with dining tablesD.looks like a common restaurant57. What activity also mentioned apart from dining in the restaurant?A. Reading local English newspapers.B. Drinking a kind of black coffee.C. Watching the latest news on TV.D. Debating with one another on public interests.58. According to the passage, the food of the restaurantA. is served in small amountsB. is rather expensiveC. is rich in varietyD is very healthy59. It can be inferred from the passage that the restaurantA. occupies a large spaceB. owns a favorable locationC. is popular for its special foodD. has a quiet environment inside【答案】56-59ACDC(B)History may be written by the victors, but we should not ignore the losers. At least, that's what the Museum of Failure wants us to believe.Displaying around 80 examples of failed products, businesses and ideas from Coca-Cola Black, a coffee-inspired drink, to Bic pens made especially for women, the newly opened museum in Helsingborg Sweden, celebrates modern history's worst designs.But as well as exhibiting long-forgotten failures, founder Dr. Samuel West is to help us learn from our mistakes. Samuel, a psychologist, who set up the museum after feeling tired of success stories, says understanding bad design can be more valuable than copying good design.“The majority of all new projects fail, and learning is the only way to turn failure into success.” according to the museum's website “I hope that visitors take home two messages: that failure is inseparable from success, and that they should understand the importance of learning from failure.”said Dr. West.The purpose of the museum is to show that a new idea requires failure." Dr. West said as he introduced some of the exhibits in a video. “If you are afraid of failure, then you can't have any change.” His purpose of starting the museum was to encourage organizations to be better at learning from failures, rather than ignoring them and pretending they never happened.Inspired by a Leo Tolstoy quote---“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way,” West has created a slogan for his museum: “All successful changes are alike; all failed changes fail in their own interesting and special way.”The museum's items, many of which were acquired on eBay, strengthen West's belief that Poorly-designed products have little in common with one another. One of the items, for example, is a frozen beef lasagna (意式千层面) made by Colgate. (Yes, the company that makes toothpaste). Dr. West described this as a classic case of “brand extension failure.”A collection of nine objects from the museum is on tour, stopping in Miami, Berlin and Amsterdam. The travelling collection of failures will then visit Los Angeles, New York, Shanghai and Tokyo in 2018 and 2019.60.What's the main idea of this article?A. Understanding bad deigns is better than coping good deigns.B. People should learn from their failures, rather than ignoring them.C. The Museum of Failure displays some of the Worst designs in modem history.D. Although history is written by the visitors, we should not ignore the losers.61.The underlined word inseparables in the fourth paragraph most probably means________.A. unable to be seenB. unable to be squeezedC. unable to be separatedD. unable to be supported62. The museum's various items acquired on eBay prove Dr. West's view that________.A. failure is connected with successB. all failed changes fail in their own wayC. learning is the only way to turn failure into successD. if people are afraid of failure, they can't come up with good ideas63 We can learn from the passage that________.A. It is Helsingborg Sweden that the Museum of Failure is located in.B. Some of the items exhibited in the museum are modern history's worst designs.C. One of the items, Coca-Cola Black, is an example of “brand extension failure”.D. Some items from the museum were displayed in cities such as Miami, Berlin and Amsterdam.【答案】60-63BCBASection C (4%)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentence than you need.Clay is found almost everywhere in the world. It is formed by the action of wind and water on rocks over thousands of years The rocks change in both chemical and physical ways. Chemically, elements like potassium and aluminum are added and taken away. (64) ____C____ After a long time, some of the rock changes to clay.Clay is important because it is used around the world to make containers of all kinds. Potters (陶工) add water to soften the clay, (65) ____E____. Then it is fired in an extremely hot stove. The result is a container with a hard surface that will last for many years.In many countries, clay was formed from volcanoes. This kind of clay usually contains many minerals. So the fires to make containers from volcanic clay must be hotter than those used for non-volcanic clay, The fires may be as hot as one thousand four hundred degrees Celsius.(66) ____B____. This means that the highest temperature should not be reached too fast. You can add materials to clay to gain desired results. For example, you can add sand to prevent tiny breaks or lines from forming in the finished product. But you should not use sand from the coasts of oceans. Instead, you should use sand from rivers or from other areas of land that are not near the sea.You can usually find good clay in low areas of islands or land, especially if volcanoes helped form the land. Clay often exists in fields covered with some water. The clay will be found about one meter below the ground. (67) ____D____You can recognize clay because it is very shiny when it is wet. You can also perform a test. Take some of the material and add enough water to it to make it seem like you are making bread. Then press it in your hand until it is about the size of an egg. It is probably clay if it holds together instead of falling apart when you stop pressing.【答案】64-67CEBDIV.

Note that there is one expression more than you need.68.Lisa firmly believes that she ______________ to her dream university with great efforts three years later.69.In Shanghai, thirteen metro lines with a total length of more than 500 kilometers _____________ by the year 2012.70.With the mid-term exam coming near, he refused his fiend's invitation to the latest movie ______________.71.

As a result, Elyse, 27, said she didn’t really know how to talk about what she was feeling. But now, Elyse understands that her depression(抑郁) is not something to be embarrassed about –it’s just a small part of her overall health that she has to take care of. In order to spread that message, Elyse started@sadgirlsclubpbg, a real-life club that gathers girls together to let them know that if they’re struggling with their mental health, they aren’t alone. That way, Elyse said, girls who understand that others are going through can start to break down the stigma(耻辱) surrounding mental health, showing that it’s nothing to be ashamed of. At the same time, they’re supporting one another and sharing resources. While the group meets in person, Elyse keeps the community going on Instagram, a social media platform. We talked to Elyse about how social media can create a supportive community for people with mental illness.Teen vogue: Why did you start Sad Girls Club?Elyse Fox: I started it in February of this year … after I put out a film about my mental illnesses in December. I removed my mask and said, ‘Hey,I’m not as happy as I seem, I’m depressed and here’s my story.’ That’s when I received a wave of girls saying, ‘I feel the same way.’ So I wanted to createsomething for girls to connect in real life and in person to get rid of the stigma around mental illness.TV: Why is it important to talk about mental health?EF: Because the conversation needed to happen and it needed to happen now. Because one in five Americans is going through some type of mental illness. If you aren’t personally, you know someone who is. It’s out of people’s control.TV: Do you think social media help with mental illness?EF: Absolutely. I think with social media it’s so easy to be honest. You being your true self and removing a mask and being honest with yourself and followers is the best way to heal(治愈). People are connected with realness. You can reach so many people from different countries, different ages.TV: What do you want young women of color to know about mental health?EF: I want everyone to know about mental health, that it isn’t something that is visible. It doesn’t have a face, no age range. It’s something we can cope with - and it’s best to do it together rather than alone.TV: Anything you’d like to add?EF: I’d add that anyone would encourage women or anyone going through anything to find a friend or to speak out and seek help. Even if it’s a simple conversation with a teacher. As a person who kept everything inside for over 20 years, it’s extremely helpful.58.What can we infer from the first paragraph?A.Elyse’s family members don’t care about her mental problems.B.Elyse didn’t realize mental problems are something common until she grew up.C.Elyse started the Sad Girls Club to offer some resources she had to the members.D.The Sad Girls Club have organized online activities for girls with mental problems.59.What is the main reason for many girls sending messages to Elyse after watching her film?A.To get in touch with her in real life.B.To ask her to start a club for girls like them.C.To give her some advice to solve the problem.D To tell her that they share the same problem with her.60.Which of the following about Sad Girls Club is TRUE?A.Members of Sad Girls Club are young women of color who have mental problems.B.Members of Sad Girls Club keep in touch with each other by sharing their life online.C.The Club’s aim is to tell women they don’t need to be embarrassed about their problems.D.The founder of the club believes it will be very helpful to keep everything inside.CThis fall, Apple will roll out its newest update. It will offer parents greater control over content their kid views. Additionally, it will track the amount of time they spend using an iOS device. Following Google’s lead to deal with smartphone addiction(上瘾), new tools will include increased monitoring, usage time and activity reports.Currently, Apple’s parental controls only allow for limiting usage of adult apps, music and video. There is growing public concern over unlimited exposure to social media for young people. Smartphone addiction combined with increased rates of distraction, suicide, and depression in teens led Apple to respond. It has developed better tools for monitoring content and control over iOS device usage for parents. For moms and dads looking to more effectively manage how their teen accesses iOS devices, the Screen Time, App Limits, and Down Time features will be of particular help.Screen Time will generate daily and weekly reports detailing how many times users pick up their devices, the categories of apps and websites they use most often and the amount of time they spend interacting with each app.According to public statements, Apple intends these reports to help users get a greater understanding of how they use their devices. They’re also intended to assist in making personal decisions about controls they’d like to have. This is especially helpful to parents who aren’t privy(准许知情) to specific apps and websites their kid is using or how long they use them each day. The new App Limits feature allows parents to set limits on time spent on websites, apps or a category of apps.Also, parents will be able to set time periods for their child’s phone to be powered off. Down Time can be scheduled on devices. Parents can specify which apps can and can’t be used and when. If parents want to limit access to an entire category of apps, such as social media or gaming, during specified time periods for things like homework, diner, or bedtime, they can.The new parental controls are account-based. Parents can access Screen Time to view reports and set limits on their teen’s device remotely(远程地) via devices connected through Family Sharing or directly from their teen’s device.Totals for settings, usage reports, and limits set are based on usage across all of a users IOS devices. Thus, if a kid uses multiple iOS devices, he or she will reach a time limit on an app on their iPhone. The app will be inaccessible on their iPad as well. A screen notification will appear when a child is about to reach a time limit. The child can request more time from a parent.This update is good news for those who wish to have better insight into teen smartphone usage. Parents, however, should keep communicating rules and guidelines for healthy tech habits.61.According to the second paragraph, why did Apple decide to release this update?A.The technology has developed a lot since the last update.B.Apple is under public pressure to solve a growing social problem.C.Teens’ growing mental problems make iPhone unpopular among parents.D.The current iOS devices help little in limiting teens’ exposure to adult apps.62.Which of the following about the new iOS features is TRUE?A.With Screen Time, parents can know what their teens do on social media.B.App Limits require parents to set limits direc tly on their teens’ devices.C.It is possible for parents to limit access to more than one app at a time.D.Parents can turn off their teens’ phones without setting in advance.63.Which word has the similar meaning to the underlined word “notification” in the seventh paragraph?A.warningB. noteC. figureD. post64.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A.This new update alone cannot help teens develop healthy tech habits.B.Kids with addiction to social media may also be satisfied with this update.C.There’s no chance for parents to give more time if the kid reaches the limit.D.If a kid reaches a time limit on his/her iPhone, he/she can go on to use iPad.65.Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?A.Parents Find Ways to Control the Screen Time of Your Kids.B.Apple Follows Google’s Lead to Have More Functions.C.Parents Should Have Greater Control over the Usage of smartphones.D.Apple’s Newest Update Helps Parents Monitor Kids’ Cellphone Usage.第二节七选五（共5 小题，每小题1 分，满分5 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。

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Ben Carson, a doctor at Johns Hopkins Children's, talks about how he grew up in a poor Detroit neighborhood, when peer pressure almost controlled his behavior and even his clothes. He wanted so badly to be considered cool that he begged his mother to buy him an expensive Italian shirt.“My mother made me a deal,” Carson remembers.“ She said, ‘I'll give you all the money I make next week. You'll be in charge of the family finances—buying food and other necessities and paying the bills. Whatever you have left over you can spend on whatever you want.’”“I Thought, this is going to be great,” Carson says.“ I bought tings we needed most and then began going through the bills. Of course I ran completely out of money long before everything was paid.”“The I realized my mother, with her third-grade education, was a financial genius—just to keep food on our table and clothes on our backs with such a small sum of money. I'd been a fool. I wanted her to buy me a 75shirtwhensheonlytookhome 100 a week, cleaning other people's floors and washing their toilets. I took a hard look at my behavior and wondered how I could be so selfish.”“I started studying again. My grades went back up to A's. S ome of my peers laughed at me because I did not follow their pattern. But I refused to let that trouble me, because I had a goal.”The experience had a lasting effect. “ I not only saw and felt the difference my mother madein my life, but I am living out that difference as a man.”53. By saying “My mother made me a deal”, Ben Carson meant that his mother .A. refused to buy him the shirtB. made an agreement with himC. asked him to deal with the problemD. showed him how to save money54. Ben Carson started studying hard again and rose back to the top because .A. he had got his shirt anywayB. he got his mother as his teacherC. he wanted to be a financial geniusD. he had a better goal to run after55. Ben Carson's story tells us that .A. a boy should not learn from his peersB. he didn't understand his mother as a boyC. what his mother taught him has changed his lifeD. people with little education may become a genius【答案】53-55 B D C(B)For high school leavers starting out in the working world, it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find an internship （实习）.In some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs are still few and far behind.Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to get higherearnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school, graduate and go on to higher education. In Germany, students as young as 13and 14are expected to do internships. German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on thefour-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country's most vulnerable （易受影响的）kids with no jobs and no skills.Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teach them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York, for example, encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while they're still at high school.However, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting. In the US, unemployment rates for 16-to-19-year-olds are above 20percent for the third summer in a row."The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience, they will become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job, "said Michael, a researcher in the US.56.According to Robert Schwartz, high school students should.A. directly carry on higher educationB. get contact with the working worldC. focus on their performance in examsD. not miss out on the summer job experience57. What can be inferred from the text?A. Unemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the momentB. Students with career-based courses never have problems finding a jobC. US companies work with schools to prepare young people for future employmentD. High school graduates with no practical skills can’t find a job58.The underlined word "daunting" in Paragraph 6 most probably meanA. discouragingB. interestingC. unbelievableD. acceptable59.What's the main idea of the text？A. Arguments about recent US high school education reformB. Tips on finding jobs for high school graduatesC. The lack of career-based education in US high schools.D. Advice for American high school graduates【答案】56-59 BAACSection CDirections:Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A．Later I received 50 cents an hour.B．I ended my selling a record amount of cosmetics.C．Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers.D．My grandma’s trust taught me how to handle responsibility.E．Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before.F．Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought.I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier(收银台)in her general store. Before long, she let me sit there by myself.I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you”.At first I was paid in candy. 60I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a. m. to 7 p. m. . My father helped me set up a bank account. 61By the time I was 12, My grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics(化妆品). I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women wo uld ask me such things as “What color do you think I should wear? ”I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wantedThe job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be apurchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.【答案】60-63 AFBCTranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.64.我打过电话给Tony了，提醒他我们上午8点在学校大门口碰面。

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness（宽恕）is possible - and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive others show less anger and more hopefulness," says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. "So it can help save on the wear and tear（磨损）on our system and allow people to feel more energetic."So when someone has hurt you calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that givens you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don't wait foran apology. "Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing," says Dr. Luskin. "They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time. "Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean that you accept the action of the person who upset you,. Mentally going over your hurt in mind gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person's position. You may realize that he or she was acting because of ignorance, fear, even over. To understand better, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person's point view.56. The text is mainly written to explain ________.A. how to keep yourself from being hurtB. how to stay mentally healthyC. how and when to remain calmD. why and how to forgive others57. According to the writer, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?A. Try to figure out why you get hurtB. Write a letter to the person who hurt you.C. Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.D. Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.58. Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because ________A. we are not patient enoughB. we'd feel worse accepting others' apologyC. people seldom want to apologizeD. people don't mean it when they apologize(B)Despite a flow of tourist dollars in recent years, Cambodia remains one of the world's poorest countries. Years of war devastated（毁坏）the population - by some estimates, a million people died - and the violence continued well into the 1990s, slowing economic development.In Siem Reap, Cambodia's tourist center, the tiny orphanage houses 23 children to two rooms - one for girls, one for boys. Many of the kids are barefoot; their hair a mess, their clothes dirty - a Cambodian version of a scene from a Dickens novel.While Maria was occupying the kids, her three traveling companions are free to get down to the real task of the morning: building new eraser boards for the rural school's classrooms.It's a lot of work. It's also their vacation. Maria and the others have signed up to visit Cambodia with Globe-Aware, one of a growing number of organizations that design vacations for people who want to spend as much time helping in the destinations they visit as they spend seeing the major sites. Like the thousands of other tourists arriving each week in this poor rural villages, famed for its 1,000-year-old temples, Globe-Aware participants spend a day or so of theirone-week trip exploring the legendary ruins and other remains of Cambodia's ancient empire.In addition to spending time at the orphanage, the group takes on at least one, sometimes two, more volunteer activities each day. On one morning, the group assembles wheelchairs for some of the war-ravaged（遭战争蹂躏的）country's thousands of land-mine victims. Before dinner, thevolunteers help teach English to locals, many of whom hope to become English-speaking tour guides at the nearby temples, a relatively high-paying job in the region. A typical job in the region pays only $100 a month. Those who speak English, however, can find work in tourist hotels paying as much as $250 a month, a small fortune in an economy in which more than a third of the population earns less than $1 a day.Visiting such sites long has been part of the volunteer vacation experience. But it also has brought criticism from some. Even some of the participants on this trip are conflicted "At first I was nervous. I felt a bit embarrassed, like it was a show for us," says Maria. "But ... if we can go back and find a way to volunteer, to donate, to integrate giving into our lives, then it was worth it. And that's the reason we're here."59. We can infer from the passage that Globe-Aware isA. an organization that arranges for people to take charity activities while travelingB. a travel agency that plans the routes and arranges the scenic spots for touristsC. a group of people who work partly as volunteers when they are travellingD. a charity fund that aims at raising money for the children in poor countries60. Many participants like Maria have signed up to visit Cambodia in order to________________.A. explore the historical ruins and remainsB. take a vacation and benefit othersC. teach the local people speak EnglishD. help rebuild the war-ravaged country61.

The kids in the orphanage led wretched lives, to say nothing of receiving education.C. Being English-speaking tour guides is the dream of many local people due to its pay.D. There are many victims who stepped on mines and got hurt waiting for wheelchairs.62. The best title for the passage might be ________A. Love on the GoB. Global AwarenessC. Dollar-Smart TripsD. Doing Double Duty(C)An eclipse happens when one heavenly body such as a moon or planet passes into the shadow of another heavenly body. There are two types of eclipses on Earth: lunar eclipses and sclar eclipses.The moon orbits Earth and, at the same time. "Earth orbits the sun. Sometimes Earth moves between the sun and the moon. When this happens, Earth blocks the light from the sun. This is an eclipse of the moon - a lunar eclipse. A lunar eclipse can occur only when the moon is full and can be seen from Earth at night.There are two types of lunar eclipses: total lunar eclipses and partial lunar eclipses.A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon and the sun are on exact opposite sides of Earth. The moon is in Earth's shadow and the sunlight passes through Earth's atmosphere, which causes Earth's atmosphere to filter or block out most of the blue light. However, a partial funar eclipse happens when only a part of the moon enters Earth's shadow. What people see from Earth during a partial lunar eclipse depends on how the sun. Earth and moon are lined up.A lunar eclipse usually lasts for a few hours. At least two partial lunar eclipses happen every year, but total lunar eclipses are rare. It is safe to look directly at a lunar eclipse although a pair of binoculars can certainly help the viewer appreciate the beauty of this phenomenon.Sometimes when the moon orbits Earth, it moves between the sun and Earth. When this happens, the moon blocks the light of the sun from reaching Earth. This causes an eclipse of the sun, or solar eclipse. During a solar eclipse, the moon casts a shadow onto Earth.There are three types of solar eclipses: total solar eclipses, partial solar eclipses and annular eclipses（日环食）. During a solar eclipse, the moon casts two shadow on Earth. Sclar eclipses happen once every 18 months. Unlike lunar eclipses, solar eclipses only last for a few minutes.Scientists use solar eclipses as an opportunity to study the sun's corona（日冕）. The corona is the sun's top layer. During an annular eclipse, NASA (the U. S. space agency) uses ground and space instruments to view the corona when the moon blocks the sun's glare. The sudden blocking of the sun during an eclipse reduces the light and changes the temperature on the ground. This creates conditions that can affect local weather and animal behavior.It's important to never look directly at the sun - it can permanently damage your eyes! Solar radiation that occurs during an eclipse of the Sun can cause a form of burns of one's eyes known as eclipse blindness. In fact, the only way to safely view a solar eclipse is by usingspecially-designed equipment.63. What can we know about "a lunar eclipse"?A. It may create conditions that can affect local weather and animal behavior.B. It can be seen when the moon and the sun are on exact opposite sides of Earth.C. It usually happens once every 18 months and only lasts for a few minutes each time.D. It happens when the moon blocks the light from the sun, which causes the moon to shine.64. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "glare"?A. heatB. shadowC. shineD. radiation65. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. people will experience a temperature drop when lunar eclipses happenB. eclipses are the result of the shadow cast by the moon onto Earth.C. total lunar eclipses are more difficult to observe than other types of lunar eclipsesD. there can be eclipses even if the three heavenly bodies are not exactly lined up.66. Why is it safer to watch a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse?A. Because a lunar eclipse lasts longer than a solar eclipse.B. because a lunar eclipse lasts longer than a solar eclipse.C. Because special equipment can be employed to view a lunar eclipse.D. Because a lunar eclipse has much more steady light them solar eclipse.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.A fantastic example of an insect emotion experiment was carried out on our all-important flower loving friends, honeybees.Emotions influence our awareness and behavior. ________67________ You are so mad in fact that despite your friends trying to do and say everything possible to cheer you up, you feel so downhearted that you simply see the trouble in everything. In fact, you're so upset that even your favourite food seems totally unappetizing.________68________ the poor guys were driven into a vortex, a machine used to vigorously mix chemicals for one minute to put on a bear attack on their hive（蜂巢）and most probably cause them to feel complete bee anger.The bees were then presented with different solutions（溶液）containing different proportions of two smelly chemicals: Octan-one that the bees had been trained to associate with a tasty sugary treat and hexanol that they had been trained to associate with an unpleasant bitter taste.Bees that had been shaken became low-spirited, more likely to react to the unpleasant smell in the mixtures and draw back as opposed to being attracted to the tasty smell -a result of probably being pretty annoyed. ________69________ They were more likely to see the mixtures as appetizing, as opposed to unappetizing like those bad-tempered bees did. Moreover, there were emotionally relevant changes in neurotransmitter（神经传递素）levels in the shaken up bees.This can scientifically be interpreted as the act of shaking the bees creating an internal neurological state in them that affected their later behavior associated with changes in brain chemistry. More specifically, this implies that disturbed honeybees exhibit depressed cognitive tendencies.________70________ It is interesting to note that if dogs did the same thing and turned downtheir food after their owner had just died for example, many wouldn't even question that the behavior was emotional.第II卷IV.

They said that they found flaws in studies that had reported associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma.Most health experts believe that by protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun, sunscreen helps prevent skin cancer, which is increasing in incidence (发生率) faster than any other cancer in the United States.But questions have been raised about sunscreen and whether it may have the opposite effect, perhaps by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning.The researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take into account that those people most at risk for skin cancer-people with fair skin and freckles(雀斑) ,for example-are more likely to use sunscreen. As a result, it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more often.The studies, which generally relied on volunteers to recall their sunscreen use, were also unable to prove how well the products had been applied, Said the new study.54. The underlined word" flaws "inthe2ndparagraphmost probably means ________.A. evidencesB. factsC. faultsD. failures55.

Skin Cancer Caused by Freckles( C )Television is a relatively stable advertising medium. In many ways, the television ads today are almost the same to those two decades ago. Most television ads still feature actors, still run 30 or 60 seconds, and still show a product. However, the different medium of the Internet causes unique challenges to advertisers, forcing them to adapt their practices and techniques.In the early days of Internet marketing, online advertisers used banner (框式广告) and pop-up ads (弹出式广告) to attract customers. These techniques reached large audiences, led to many sales leads, and came at a low cost. However, a small number of Internet users began to consider these advertising techniques annoying. Yet because marketing strategies relying heavily on banners and pop-ups produced results, companies invested growing amounts of money into purchasing these ad types. As consumers became more complicated, frustration with these online advertising techniques grew. Independent programmers began to develop tools that blocked banner and pop-up ads.A major development in online marketing came with the introduction of pay-per-click ads. Unlike banner or pop-up ads, which originally required companies to pay every time a website visitor saw an ad, pay-per-click ads allowed companies to pay only when an interested potential customer clicked on an ad. More importantly, however, these ads are not affected by the pop-up and banner blockers. As a result of these advantages and the incredible growth in the use of search engines, which provide excellent places for pay-per-click advertising, a great number of companies began turning to pay-per-click marketing. However, as with the banner and pop-up ads, pay-per-click ads came with their shortcomings. When companies began pouring billions of dollars into this emerging medium, online advertising specialists started to notice the presence ofwhat would later be called click fraud (欺诈): representatives of a company with no interest in the product advertised by a competitor click on the competitor’s ads simply to increase the marketing cost of the competitor. Click fraud grew so rapidly that marketers sought to diversify (摆脱) their online positions away from pay-per-click marketing through new mediums.Although pay-per-click advertising remains a common and effective advertising tool, marketers adapted yet again to the changing elements of the Internet by adopting new techniques such as pay-per-performance advertising. As the pace of the Internet’s evolution increases, it seems all the more likely that advertising successfully on the Internet will require a strategy that avoids constancy (持续性) and welcomes change.57. What is the main idea of the passage?A．The pace of the Internet’s evolution is increasing and will only increase in the future.B．Internet advertising fails to reach Internet users, causing ads to be blocked.C．The Internet has experienced dramatic changes in short periods of time.D．Rapid development of the Internet calls for new advertising strategies and mediums.58. As an advertising medium, the television and the Internet mainly differ in ________.A．the type of individual each medium reachesB．whether the medium is interactiveC．the pace at which the medium developsD．the cost of advertising with each medium59. According to the passage, which of the following is a typical click fraud?A．Using software to block competitors’ advertisements.B．Clicking on the pay-per-click ads of competitors.C．Clicking on the banner advertisements of opponent companies.D．Using search engine to attack the pages of competitors.60 .What does the author imply about the future of pay-per-performance advertising?A．It will eventually become less popular just like other forms of Internet advertising.B．It will not face shortcomings due to its differing approach to online marketing.C．Internet users will develop free software to block its effectiveness.D．Although it improves on pay-per-click advertising, it still suffers from click fraud.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully.

Before that, she ever won the 2011 Lasker Award for findind out artemisinin (Qinghaosu) ., which saved millions of lives. She was grateful (感激的) for the Lasker prize, but said, “It is just a scientist’duty. I will go on fighting for the health of all humans.”Tu kept her work in the 1960s and 1970s. In that age, Malaria（疟疾）could took away people’s health. Scientists all over the world had already tried over 240,000 times but failed. Tu Youyou, a member of the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing, began to study Chinese herbs. Before 2011, people didn’t know Tu very much .Many friends played jokes with her “ the Professor of Thre e None’s “: no degree （学位）, no study experience abroad, not a member of anyChinese national colleges. But she is hard-working. She read a lot of traditional Chinese medicine books and did a lot of researches on the disease.In February, 2012, Tu was named National Outstanding Females (One of the Ten) Tu is now a model of Chinese medical workers.8.

From Tu Youyou’s story, we know that she is a ________ woman.A. friendlyB. kindC. cleverD. hard-workingDOld age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eight-five , people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.The findings came from a survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional （情感的）stress.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.The study also showed that men and women have have similar feeling patterns as they grow older. However, women at 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 older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings. they also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.12. According to the survey of The Gallup Organization people are most likely to become happier ________.A. when they are between ages of 18 and 85B. when they come to their old ageC. when they are in their twentiesD. when they are eighteen years old13. According to Arthur Stone, old people _______.A. have a positive attitude toward their lifeB. can control their behaviors betterC. dream about good things every dayD. have earned a large amount of money.14. From the last paragraph we can know that ________.A. you must be worried if you have young childrenB. health has nothing to do with your ageC. you can be happy even if you are still singleD. happiness depends on your family and job15. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. Getting older means getting happierB. The young are happier than the oldC. The younger, the happierD. Women are easier to happy in life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。

That is perhaps why sculpture has been described as the most difficult of all arts; certainly it is more difficult than the arts which involve __49__ of flat forms, shape in only two dimensions. Many more people are ‘form-blind’ than color-blind. Children learning to see, first distinguishes only two-dimensional shape; it cannot judge distances, depths. Later, for their personal safety and practical needs, they have to develop partly by __50__ of touch, the ability to judge roughly three-dimensional distances. But after they __51__ the requirements of practical necessity, most people go no further. Though they may __52__ considerable accuracy in the perception(知觉，感知) of flat form, they do not make the further intellectual and emotional effort needed to __53__ form in its full spatial existence.This is what the sculptor must do. He must __54__ continually to think of, and use, form in its full spatial completeness. He gets the solid shape, as it were, inside his head-he thinks of it, whatever its size, as if he were holding it completely in the hollow of his hand. He __55__ visualizes a complex form from all round itself; he knows while he looks at one side what the other side is like, he will have to __56__ himself with its centre of gravity, its mass, its weight; and he realizes its volume, as the space that the shape displaces in the air.And the sensitive observer of sculpture must also learn to feel shape simply as __57__, not as description or reminiscence(回忆，联想). He must, for example, see an egg as a simple single solid shape, quite apart from its significance as food, or from the __58__ idea that it will become a bird. And so withsolids such as a shell, a nut, a plum, a pear, a tadpole, a mushroom, a mountain peak, a kidney, a carrot, a tree-trunk, a bird, a bud, a lark, a ladybird, a bulrush, a bone. From these he can go on to appreciate more complex forms of combinations of several forms.(B)A. expertB. introducedC. characterD. separation AB. establishedAC. variety AD. admired BC. complexity BD. fascinated CD. originalsABC. regardedClassical Roman dramaFollowing the expansion of the Roman Republic into several Greek territories between 270-240 BC, Rome encountered Greek drama. From the later years of the republic and by means of the Roman Empire, theatre spread west across Europe and reached England; Roman theatre was more varied, extensive and sophisticated than that of any culture before it.While Greek drama continued to be performed throughout the Roman period, the year 240 BC marks the beginning of regular Roman drama. From the beginning of the empire, however, interest in full-length drama declined in favor of a broader __59__ of theatrical entertainments. The first important works of Roman literature were the tragedies and comedies that Livius Andronicus wrote from 240 BC. Five years later, Gnaeus Naevius also began to write drama. No plays from either writer have survived. Andronicus was most appreciated for his tragedies and Naevius for his comedies; their successors(继任者) tended to be __60__ at one or the other, which led to a(n) __61__ of the subsequent development of each type of drama.By the beginning of the 2nd century BC, drama was firmly __62__ in Rome and an association of writers had been formed. The Roman comedies that have survived are all “fabula palliate” (comedies based on Greek subjects) and come from two dramatists: Plautus and Terence. In re-working the Greek __63__, the Roman comic dramatists abolished the role of the chorus(合唱) in dividing the drama into episodes and __64__ musical accompaniment to its dialogue. The action of all scenes is set in the street and its complications often follow from eavesdropping(偷听).Plautus, the more popular of the two, wrote between 205 and 184 BC and twenty of his comedies survive; people __65__ him for the wisdom of his dialogue and his use of various poetic meters. All of the six comedies that Terence wrote between 166 and 160 BC have survived; the __66__ of his plots, in which he often combined several Greek stories, was sometimes criticized, but his double-plots enabled a sophisticated presentation of contrasting human behavior. No early Roman tragedy survives, though it was highly __67__ in its day; historians know of three early tragedians—Quintus Ennius, Marcus Pacuvius, and Lucius Accius.From the time of the empire, the work of two tragedians survives—one is an unknown author, while the other is the philosopher Seneca. Nine of Seneca’s tragedies survive, all of which are tragedies from Greek stories. Historians do not know who wrote the only extant example of the fabula praetexta (tragedies based on Roman subjects), Octavia, but in former times it was mistakenly attributed to Seneca due to his appearance as a(n) __68__ in the tragedy.III. Reading ComprehensionSection AWar Peace, epic historical novel by Leo Tolstoy, originally published as “Voyna i mir” in 1865-69. This overall study of early 19th-century Russian society noted for its mastery of realistic detail and variety of psychological analysis, __69__ as one of the world’s greatest novels. It has been widely __70__ for the stage, film, and television. Among the most notable film versions is that directed by Sergey Bondarchuk, which won an Academy Award in 1968.War and Peace is primarily __71__ with the histories of five aristocratic(贵族的) families--__72__ the Bezukhovs, the Bolkonskys, and the Rostovs--the members of which are portrayed __73__ a vivid background of Russian social life during the war against Napoleon. Tolstoy uses their individual stories to portray Russia on the edge of a disastrous conflict with Napoleon’s France. Events swiftly move the central characters toward this inevitable war. No other writer is better than Tolstoy in the scale of his epic vision, which shows the mood of whole cities, the movement of armies, and the sense of coming __74__ of the entire society. Moreover, the interconnected nature of the personal and the political is __75__ explored. As Tolstoy examines his characters’ emotional reactions to the rapidly changing circumstances in which they find themselves, he uses them to represent Russian society’s responses to the demands of both war and peace.The theme of war, __76__, is not so important as the story of family life, which __77__ Tolstoy’s optimistic belief in the life-affirming(积极向上的) pattern of human existence. The heroine, Natasha Rostova, __78__, reaches her greatest fulfillment through her marriage to Pierre Bezukhov and through motherhood. The novel also sets forth a theory of history, concluding that there is a __79__ of free choice; all is ruled by an inevitable historical determinism(决定论).War and Peace is one of those few texts – James Joyce’s Ulysses is another – that are atoo often read as some kind of __80__ test, only to be either abandoned halfway or displayed as a victory, never to be touched again. It is indeed very long, but it is a novel that is truly worth close attention and re-reading. Like the movies of Andrei Tarkovsky, whose life and thoughts were greatly __81__ by Tolstoy, once you enter into his Russia, you will not want to leave: and in this __82__, the length of the text becomes a virtue, since there is simply more of it to read. Tolstoy may be unjustly famed for his ability to talk off the point, but to sacrifice the unity of the full novel for a short version of the text is to __83__ the reading experience.69.

As a key figure of the High Renaissance, he is specifically celebrated for his ambitious approach to scale and his expertise on anatomy(解刨). While all of his masterworks convey his undeniable talent, his world-famous fresco(湿壁画) on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel stands above the rest.Painted for the pope, the composition depicts a range of religious iconography(象征手法) in Michelangelo’s distinctive style, making it one of the most cherished masterpieces in the world.The Sistine Chapel is a large chapel named after Pope Sixtus IV, who oversaw its restoration in the late 15th century. Historically, the chapel has had various important functions. Today, it still possesses its religious role, as it serves as the site where the next pope is elected.What the Sistine Chapel is most well-known for, however, is its ceiling. Painted by Florentine fine artist Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni between 1508 and 1512, the complex and colorful fresco is celebrated for its realistic figures, vast size, and innovative process.By the early 16th century, Michelangelo were a respected artist known throughout Italy. He was particularly praised for his ability—both in painting and sculpture—figures with lifelike anatomical features, as evident in his famous David statue from 1504. Given the artist’s reputation, it is no surprise that Pope Julius ordered him to decorate the ceiling of Sistine Chapel, whose walls were already decorated with frescoes by Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, Perugino, and other famed artists.While the pope’s plans for the ceiling was centered around a depiction of the 12 apostles(门徒), Michelangelo had bigger plans: he would paint several scenes in Bible featuring over 300 figures.Like many other Italian Renaissance painters, he used a fresco technique, meaning he applied washes of paint to wet plaster(石灰泥). In order to create an illusion of depth, Michelangelo would remove some of the wet medium prior to painting. This method ended in visible “outlines” around his figures—a detail considered characteristic of the artist. As plaster dries quickly, Michelangelo worked in sections, applying planes of fresh plaster each day.Today, the Sistine Chapel remains both a popular tourist destination and highly religious site. Roughly 25,000 people view the spectacular ceiling each day, proving the lasting legacy of one of Michelangelo’s most well-known works and of the striking art of the High Renaissance.84.From paragraph 1, we know that Michelangelo ________.A. had a good knowledge of buildingB. had a particularly ambitious life goalC. was expert at sculptingD. stood above the chapel while painting85.Fresco painted by Michelangelo stands out for the following characteristics EXCEPT that _______.A. its production procedures are creativeB. the figures shown in the fresco are lifelikeC. it is large in size painted in black and whiteD. it shows a number of scenes in the Bible86.In making the fresco, Michelangelo would _______.A. create outlines around the figures in itB. apply all the fresh plaster in the beginningC. remove some paint from the wet plasterD. avoid making an illusion of depth87.Which one of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The Sistine Chapel, named after Pope Sixtus IV, was built up in the late 15th century.B. The ceiling had partly been painted by other artists before Michelangelo started.C. It was at the age of 33 that Michelangelo finished the seemingly impossible task.D. The chapel maintained its religious function apart from being a scenic spot.(B)Italy has produced many brilliant minds who have made their mark on art history. During the Renaissance(文艺复兴), the Italian city-states were at the center of an incredible flowering of visual culture that would not only influence generations onward but would also redefine what it meant to be an artist. Painters and sculptors came to be seen not only as craftsmen, but also men of learning who could express something deeply personal. Then came the drama and intensity of the Baroque artists. Modern times brought more change, some artists explored deeply into their medium while others turned to political and social issues. All along the way, there were standout personalities who illuminated the concerns of their time. Check out some of the most interesting figures in Italian art.Leonardo da VinciMuch has been said about this true Renaissance man, who was not only a painter but a mathematician, scientist, engineer, inventor, architect and much, much more. His endless curiosity and imagination led him to dream up machines that were far ahead of his time, study anatomy(解刨学) in brand-new ways and, of course, create paintings and drawings that would impress people for many centuries. In his paintings, there is an overwhelming sense of the mystery of existence – the mystery that he sought to chase and understand.Michelangelo BuonarottiIn many ways, Michelangelo defined what it means to be an artist. Though he’s known for his paintings, he considered himself first and foremost a sculptor. Born and raised in a little town, he grew up to be a master of anatomy. He used the straining and twisting muscles of the human body to express his powerful vision of the world. His design of the Laurentian Library pioneered Mannerist architecture.Giovanni BelliniBellini was the Venetian of the Renaissance who took the medium of oil painting to a new expressive capacity. He was the pioneer of a technique where the colors were gradually built up in thin, translucent(半透明) layers. The end result is glossy, rich and shining like no other. In his paintings, you’ll find a kind of peaceful silence, lighted by gorgeous colors that seem to be lit from within.Artemisia GentileschiArtemisia is one of the great boundary-breaking painters of the Baroque era. Female artists of her time were confined to still life paintings and portraits, because it was considered improper for women to paint from the nude figure. But Artemisia wouldn’t let that stop her. At just 17, she broke taboos with her painting of Susanna and the Elders, in which she proudly displays a full-frontal nude(裸体) in the center of the frame. She was raped two years later by another painter and experienced physical sufferings during the investigation of the trial, but her struggles only fueled her artistic production as she turned out painting after painting of strong, defiant women.88.Which of the following group is the common point of the works of the artists mentioned above?A. Pioneer and originalB. Conservative but pioneerC. Powerful and beautifulD. Mysterious but direct89.What does “defiant” probably mean in the last paragraph?A. admirableB. challengingC. disrespectfulD. obedient90.Which one of the following statement is FALSE according to the passage?A. Giovanni was expert at making use of colors and was also a leader in artistic expression.B. As a master of anatomy, Michelangelo handled human bodies very well in his works.C. Despite their amazing sculptures, sculptors were seen as craftsman during the Renaissance.D. Leonardo da Vinci was curious and imaginative enough to stand ahead of his times.(C)“I’ve never met a human worth cloning,” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from his lab at Texas A&M University. “It’s a stupid endeavor.” That’s an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone as 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeed, though they have cloned two cows and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy this spring — or perhaps not for another five years. It seems the reproductive system of man’s best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.Westhusin’s experience with cloning animals leaves him upset by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missy project, he and the A&M team has failed over and over again. The wastage of eggs and the many fetuses（胎）may be acceptable when you’re dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous,” he says.Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusin’s phone has been ringing with people calling in hopes of duplicating their cats and dogs, cattle and horses. “A lot of people want to clone pets, especially if the price is right,” says Westhusin. Cost is no obstacle for Missy’s mysterious billionaire owner; he’s put up $3.7 million so far to fund A&M’s research.Contrary to some media reports, Missy is not dead. The owner wants a twin to carry on Missy’s fine qualities after she does die. The prototype is, by all accounts, athletic, good-natured and super-smart. Missy’s master does not expect an exact copy of her. He knows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement of purpose, Missy’s owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clones differ from Missy.”Besides cloning a great dog, the project may contribute insight into the old question of nature vs. nurture. It could also lead to the cloning of special rescue dogs and many endangered animals.However, Westhusin is cautious about his work. He knows that even if he gets a dog pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems~ “Why would you ever want to clone humans,” Westhusin asks, “when we’re not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet?”91.By cloning Missy, Mark Westhusin and A&M team attempt to ________.A. figure out the possibility of human cloningB. find out the differences between Missy and its cloneC. study why the prototype, Missy, is so athletic and smartD. show their love for lovely Missy since it has passed away92.It can be seen from the passage that dog cloning _________.A. was conducted long before the sheep cloningB. has gained an unexpected cold response from the societyC. has posed a great financial challenge to WesthusinD. can generate an enormous wealth of economic returns93.What is Westhusin’s attitude towards what he is doing?A. CarefulB. OptimisticC. PassiveD. Indifferent94.What can be learned from the passage?A. Current cloning techniques have proved quite adequate for human cloning.B. The outcome of Westhusin’s dog cloning project remains uncertain.C. Dangerous as it is, cloning is an incredibly efficient method.D. Westhusin thought it an interesting attempt to clone human beings.第II卷I.

Milne, who bought the stuffed (填充的) animal from a store. The stuffed animal was named Edward Bear. Years later, Edward was named Winnie. From the time Christopher Robin Milne was a baby until he was about 8 years old, he would receive different stuffed animals.A.A. Milne was a famous English author. As he watched his son interact (互动) with Winnie and friends, A.A. Milne thought his child’s interaction with the collection of animals would make a great bedtime story. So Milne worked with artist Ernest H. Shepard and wrote the first Winnie the Pooh poem, where Edward Bear was known as “Teddy Bear”. The writings appeared in Punch magazine and in the book they wrote together, When We Were Very Young, which was published in 1924. In a four-year period, three more books that centered on the bear and his team followed: 1926’s Winnie-the-Pooh; 1927’s Now We Are Six; and 1928’s The House at Pooh Corner.The books and poems about Pooh brought great success to the author, and the characters became favorites with young children and their families around the world. Their popularity led Disney to get the rights to make films about the characters in 1961. Five years later, Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and the rest of the team appeared on screen for the first time in Winnie-the-Pooh and the Honey Tree. The characters later appeared in TV shows, movies, video games and short films. Pooh’s most recent appearance came last year in the popular children’s program, Doc McStuffin s, where he was a special guest.4. What do we know about Edward Bear?A.

By now, a gray rabbit, two parrots and a small group of Nubian goats have been added into the family.When Ethan is on duty, Susan keeps checking her cell phone for Ethan’s text messages.

This outdoor activity gives us beautiful plants, pleasant smelling flowers and fresh fruits and vegetables. But it also does a lot of good to our health.Gardening connects people. When you are gardening, you are outdoors. So it is a perfect chance to meet and spend time with your neighbors. Most people love to talk about their hobbies, and gardeners are no different. They usually enjoy showing people what they are growing. And most enjoy sharing advice and stories about their gardens almost as much as sharing flowers and vegetables from their gardens.Gardening is a great activity for children. It gets them outdoors and off computers, televisions and cell phones. Gardening is also a great teacher. It can teach a child about where food comes from and healthy eating. It also helps them to understand that the natural resources (资源) are not inexhaustible and the importance of using them carefully.Then, when you garden, you must move around. All the different movements needed for gardening, like bending and lifting, work small muscles (肌肉) in the body. And you can easily get good exercise when you are digging holes or pulling grasses.In a study, researches looked at more than 2,800 people over the age of 60. They studied their lifestyle habits, activities and health over a 16-year period. They found that gardening could lower the risk of future dementia (痴呆) by 36%. Gardening requires people do many repeated actions, such as picking off dying flowers. These actions have a calming influence on the brain. The brain is still active but not in the same way when we use computers.You’ll feel wonderful when what you grow in a garden looks, smells, feels and tastes good.12. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Gardeners don’t feel lonely.B. Gardeners are fond of sharing.C. Gardeners have many hobbies.D. Gardeners care about the environment.13. What does the underlined word “inexhaustible” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Useless.B. Special.C. Endless.D. Cheap.14. What is the study used to show?A. Gardening is popular with the old.B. Gardening is good for health.C. Gardening can be a tiring activity.D. Gardening is better than playing computers.15. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To show how to garden.B. To encourage us to garden.C. To show gardening is popular.D. To encourage us to do outdoor activities.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。

AMarco Polo was born in Italy in 1254. When he was 17 years old, he traveled across Europe and Asia with his father, who wanted to do trade with the Chinese.When they eventually arrived in Beijing, they were warmly welcomed by Kublai Khan, the Yuan Dynasty Emperor. Marco was very clever and could speak four languages. The Emperor was impressed by him and they became friends. He asked Marco to serve in his court and sent him to so many important tasks across the country.Marco Polo, in turn, was amazed by how beautiful and powerful China was. He was very impressed by Beijing and the Emperor’s Palace, especially the Summe r Palace. There were many inventions and developments in China, which were not available in Europe at that time. Marco Polo was amazed to see Chinese people using paper money in markets. In Europe, people paid for goods with gold pr silver. He was also confused by the black stones people used to burn for fuel, as he had never seen coal before!After 17 years of service to the Emperor, Marco Polo returned to Italy. Unluckily, a local war broke out, and he was caught and put into prison. He met another prisoner who enjoyed listening to his stories about China. The prisoner was an author and he took dictation while listening. Later he wrote the stories in a book called The Description of the World, one of the best sellers(畅销书) in Europe.21.

A few even visit websites they should not look at. Bad things can happen if young people spend too much time on the Internet.In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way, a textbook has been used in some Shanghai middle schools this term. It uses real examples to teach students all about good ways of using the Internet. It gives useful advice such as it's good to read news or find helpful information to study. Some students also make online friends.Teachers and parents all think the book is a very good idea. It will teach students how to be a good person in the online world. It will be a guide for teens using the Internet and keep students away from bad sites.27. The report shows that __ of the 3,375 students are playing online games too much.A 38%B mostC manyD a few28. How does the textbook teach students?A With real examples.B With pictures.C With music.D With tapes.29. Which of the following useful advice is NOT mentioned in the passage?A Read news.B Find information.C Make friends.D Watch films.30.
