21．（6分）David Cameron is urging today’s youngsters to abandon French to concentrate on the tongue of the
future—Mandarin(普通话)。

Cameron said: “I want Britain linked up to the world’s fast-growing economies. And that includes our young people learning the languages to seal tomorrow’s business deals.”
“By the time the children born today leave school, China is to be the world’s largest economy. So it’s time to look beyond the traditional focus on French and German and get many more children learning Mandarin.” To strengthen his message , he quoted Nelson Mandela—the former president of South Afr ica who said “If you talk to a man in a language he understands that goes to his head; if you talk to him in his own language that goes to his heart.”
Cameron said that a partnership between the British Council (英国文化协会) and Hanban will double the number of Chinese language assistants in the UK by 2016 and provide increased funding to schools of offering Mandarin as a language choice. In a development of the UK—China School Partnership programme , funding will also be provided for 60 headteachers to make study visits to China in 2014.
In recent research the British Council found only 1% of the adult population speaks Mandarin to a level that allows them to conduct a basic conversation. Just 3,000 pupils in England, Wales and Northern Ireland entered for Chinese languages GCSEs in 2013, putting it far behind the traditional choices of French with 177,000, Spanish with 91,000 and German with 62,000 entrants(加入者), as well as Urdu, Polish and Arabic.
Professor Dame Helen Wallace, the British Academy’s foreign secretary, said, “ a lack of qualified teachers could be a barrier to improve its popularity.”
Laura Chan, one of the co—founders of a bilingual Mandarin—English primary school, said the prime minister’s announcement was good news for the status of Mandarin. S he said, “It’s a great help. It will increase people’s awareness of Mandarin as a language they can learn.”
1、What is the text mainly talking about?
A．The cooperation is important between the UK and China.
B．David Cameron has visited China for three days.
C．Chinese language is very popular with British people.
D．David Cameron calls for British students to learn Mandarin.
2、Why does David Cameron urge students to learn Chinese?
A．Because Chinese will be a widely—used language in the world.
B．Because he thinks China will become the largest economy.
C．Because there are many Chinese people living in Britain.
D．Because only a few of British people can communicate in Chinese.
3、What is the purpose of David Cameron by quoting Mandela’s words in Paragraph3?
A．To compare different ideas. B．To show his rich knowledge.
C．To persuade people to learn Mandarin. D．To share Mandela’s opinion.
22．（8分）The University of Sheffield
Back to its origin
The University of Sheffield is a research university in the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire, England. It is one of the original “red brick” universities, which are a group of top and famous old universities. The University of Sheffield was originally formed by the combination of three colleges. The Sheffield School of Medicine was founded in 1828, followed in 1879 by the opening of Firth College by Mark Firth, a steel manufacturer (制造商), to teach arts and science subjects. Firth College then helped to provide money for the opening of the Sheffield Technical School in 1884 to teach applied science. In 1897 the three institutions were joined together to form the University College of Sheffield, which in turn became the University of Sheffield by Royal Charter (特许) in 1905. This university is famous for its good education and boasts a number of Nobel Prize winners among its former students.

24．（8分）Y oung sunflowers turn and swing every day. New findings add to evidence that the plants are animal-like.
Harmer, a professor in the University of California at Davis, Department of Plant Biology, carried out a series of experiments on sunflowers in the field, in pots outdoors and in indoor growth chambers.
By staking plants so that they could not move, Harmer showed that he could destroy their ability to track the sun. He also noticed that sunflowers prevented from moving were not as tough and leafy as those that were free to move. When plants were moved indoor with a settled overhead light, they continued to swing back and forth for a few days.
The indoor plants did start trac king the “sun” again when the apparent source of lighting was moved across the room. The plants could reliably track the movement and return at night when the artificial day was close to a 24-hour cycle, but not when it was closer to 30 hours.
When sunflowers track the sun, the east sides of their stems grew more rapidly than the west sides. At night, the west sides grew faster as the stem swung the other way. The team identified a number of genes that were expressed at higher levels on the sunward side of the plant during the day or on the other side at night. A plant growth-regulating hormone (激素), called auxin, appears to be a key driver.
The “dance” to the sun cycle obviously slows when the sunflower matures (成熟) and its flowers open up. At that point, the plants stop moving during the day and settle down facing the sun in the east.
“Bees like warm flowers.” Harmer said, adding that the bees are cold-blooded, so landing on a warm flower saves them energy and perhaps feels really good.
“The morning warmth changes the flowers in a way to make them more appealing to insects, perhaps causing them to release more attractive scents earlier in the day.” he said “We’re currently testing this idea.”
1、Why did Harmer do the experiment on sunflowers?
A．To see how sunflowers grow up
B．To show what sunflowers’ genes are.
C．To study why sunflowers track the sun.
D．To check if sunflowers swing in cloudy days.
2、What does the underlined word “staking” probably mean in Paragraph 3?
A．tracking B．fining
C．growing D．searching
3、What is the result of sunflowers being stopped from moving?
A．They will produce a number of new genes.
B．They will grow faster than usual.
C．They won’t swing back though set free.
D．They won’t grow well.
4、What is the advantage of sunflowers’ dance to the sun?
A．They attract more insects. B．They save more energy.
C．They mature more rapidly. D．They produce more flowers.
25．（10分）Finding a mountain goat resting high on a cliff(悬崖) might thrill many of the millions of tourists who visit Wyomin g’s Grand Teton National Park every year, but park officials say it might be time for the bearded animals to go.
The problem, according to the park, is that Grand Teton’s 100 or so mountain goats threaten about 80 bighorn sheep. The bighorn sheep numbered as many as 125 just a few years ago. The strong goats spread disease and compete with bighorn sheep for food. Unlike small-sized bighorn sheep, Grand Teton’s mountain goats aren’t native to the park. They were introduced to the park in the 1960s.
Grand Tet on spokeswoman Denise Germann said, “We’ve got a management responsibility to protect the native species. After hearing from the public on the proposal (建议) in January, park officials expect to decide as soon as
mid-February on what to do about the mountai n goats.”
The goats are reproducing rapidly. Now might be the best time to reduce the animals before they’re too many to bring under control, according to the Park Service.
One wildlife biologist who studies bighorn sheep praised the proposal. Mountain goa ts’ original habitat is nowhere close to where they’ve been introduced in the U.S. to provide hunting opportunities, said Rob Roy Ramey II, with Nederland, Colorado-based Wildlife Science International, Inc.
Wildlife managers should get rid of mountain goats not only in Grand Teton but elsewhere to help struggling bighorn sheep, Ramey said. “Unfortunately, state wildlife agencies sell nonnative wildlife viewing opportunities to the public,” Ramey said. “This is not a zoo in the wilderness. It should really be for native wildlife.”
1、What can be learnt about the bighorn sheep in the park?
A．Their size is huge. B．Their number is decreasing.
C．They arrived in the 1960s. D．They threaten local species.
2、How did the public help park officials protect the bighorn sheep?
A．By providing suggestions. B．By driving away mountain goats.
C．By volunteering in the park. D．By taking over Grand Teton National Park.
3、What is Germann’s attitude towards the bighorn sheep?
A．Curious. B．Proud.
C．Surprised. D．Concerned.
4、What was the purpose of bringing in mountain goats in the beginning?
A．To offer hunting chances.
B．To sell nonnative wildlife.
C．To satisfy wildlife managers.
D．To increase diversities of sheep.

Every fast-food employee knows that the drive-through window is the worst position. The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engines hurts your 1 ; your words are lost in the howling wind.
On a 2 afternoon, everything changed.
Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a 3 windows shut. Drivers don’t exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold, 4 their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats. In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.
This woman was 5
“I’ll get the next car’s 6 as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside,7 much snow on her hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright 8 lit up her face like a fire.
“You can’t9 their drinks,” I said, confused and tired.
“No, but I’ll buy them,” she said. “Pay it forward and all that.”
Completely puzzled, I charged her as 10 , and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just happened. I watched as his 11 changed — first angry to be out in the cold, then 12 at the random act of kindness, and finally, delighted by his 13
“I suppose I’ll pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatient driver14 him. He
15 over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.
The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave 16 and pleased. Some were shocked to spend much
more than they had expected, 17 others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.
Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. No one refused to pay. Customers stood at my window 18 a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger. Cars drove off, honking (鸣笛) and 19 their thanks.
It only takes one customer, one person, to change the entire 20 of traffic. It only takes one moment, one smile, to warm up even the coldest of days.
1、A．ears B．hands C．feet D．back
2、A．freezing B．sunny C．warm D．usual
3、A．truck’s B．vehicle’s C．car’s D．lorry’s
4、A．offering B．throwing C．screaming D．cancelling
5、A．polite B．angry C．popular D．different
6、A．number B．coffee C．fee D．order
7、A．covering B．increasing C．gathering D．falling
8、A．eyes B．smile C．hair D．annoyance
9、A．pay B．take C．buy D．bring
10、A．instructed B．requested C．directed D．suggested
11、A．gesture B．expression C．figure D．feeling
12、A．inspired B．upset C．surprised D．disappointed
13、A．turn B．sense C．deed D．luck
14、A．beyond B．before C．beside D．behind

Dear Peter,
How times flies! It had been almost a year since you left China to Sweden. During your home stay at my home, we had such wonderful time that it seemed as if everything had been happened yesterday. I have been long to hear all about you and missing you so much. Fortunate, I was selected as one of the student representative to pay a visit to your school. The visit will last on July 7th to 20th. And as a super soccer fan, I’d really love to visit our local soccer club.
I can’t wait for the day to come where I can see you.

第二节书面表达（满分25分）
29、Dear Tom,
I'm very glad to receive your letter. And it's a pleasure to tell you something about how I spent the winter holiday.
First, I had a good rest because recently I often felt tired as a result of my heavy study burden as well as lack of sleep and physical exercise. In the evening before the Spring Festival , my family members got together and had a big meal. We had delicious food, wore new clothes and set off firecrackers .Dumplings are the most traditional food. I got some money from my parents for good luck. What's more, I had a trip with my friends to appreciate the beauty of nature and breathe fresh air. What did you do in your holidays? I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Ping。
