It’s called “A bite of China” and began airing on Friday. When its first season was broadcast in May , it became a hit by striking a chord with viewers, with a topic near and dear to people’s hearts: food. So what gourmet foods will the show be covering this time?It’s all about Chinese food culture, a nd it’s made by the country’s best directors, three of whom have won international documentary awards. But for them, taking “a bite of China” is a grueling project.Deng Jie, director of s econd season of “A Bite of China”, said, “Every minute of the video you see is edited out of 150 minutes of footage. And it’s not only that. Our chief director often gave us dozens of suggestions for revisions. It was torture.”But it’s this torture that has made this season’s breakthroughs possible.Chen Xiaoqing, chief director of second season of “A Bite of China”, said, “There were children from single parent families, and students applying to art academies. This time we look at these people from the angle of food. Food is our starting point, but not our finishing line. Our goal is to bring more understanding about Chinese people, through food.”A bite of China first hit the air in May on CCTV’s mandarin channel.“We have some appetite-boosting shots of food-making, but how to create dishes is only one aspect of food culture,” Chen Xiaoqing said, “Our program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements related to dishes, such as eating habits and morality of eating.”Soon after the series hit the airwaves, China’s micro blogging site Weibo began stirring with excitement. Many praised the series, saying how the show made them salivate or had them longing for the foods of theirchildhood.One user wrote: “The tastes of home, memories of childhood, joys of work and vision of life, I was moved by each simple story.This season includes eight episodes and will cover the stories of more than 150 people, and over 300 types of food.56. The underlined word “grueling” in Paragraph 2 probably means ____________________.A. challenging and tiringB. unexpected but delightfulC. appealing and mouth-wateringD. boring but meaningful57. According to the passage, what makes for the success of “A bite of China”?A. I t’s made by the country’s best directors, three of whom have won international documentary awards.B. It’s a topic near and dear to people’s hearts.C. It brings something new by presenting more cultural elements related to dishesD. I t’s th e staff’s torture that has made this season’s breakthroughs possible.BStephen Hawking, who spent his career decoding the universe and evenexperienced weightlessness, is urging the continuation of space exploration —for humanity’s sake.The 71-year-old Hawking said he did not think humanswould survive another 1,000 years “without escaping beyond our fragile planet.”The British cosmologist(宇宙学家) made the remarks Tuesday before anaudience of doctors, nurses and employees at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center,where he toured a st em cell laboratory that’s focused on trying to slow theprogression of Lou Gehrig’s disease.Hawking was diagnosed with the neurological disorder 50 years ago while a student at Cambridge University. He recalled how he became depressed and initially didn’t see a point in finishing his doctorate. But he continued to delve into his studies.“If you understand how the universe operates, you control it in a way,” he said.Famous for his work on black holes and the origins of the cosmos, Hawking is famous for bringing esoteric physics concepts to the masses through his best-selling books.Hawking has survived longer than most people with Lou Gehrig’s disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. ALS attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control the muscles. People gradually have more and more trouble breathing and moving as muscles weaken and waste away. There’s no cure and no way to reverse(倒转) the disease’s progression. Few people with ALS live longer than a decade.Hawking receives around-the-clock care, can only communicate by twitching his cheek, and relies on a computer mounted to his wheelchair to convey his thoughts in a distinctive robotic monotone.Despite his diagnosis, Hawking has remained active. In , he floated like an astronaut on an aircraft that creates weightlessness by making parabolic(抛物线) dives.“However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do.” he said.58. He made the remark that humans will not survive another 1,000 years ________________.A. to highlight the earth is not sustainable to live onB. to make his theory on cosmology widely acceptedC. to show the earth is becoming more and more fragileD. to persuade humans to further space exploration59. Patients with Lou Gehrig’s disease _______________________.A. can recover a little bit if they are treated earlyB. will be unable to walk or speak to othersC. are likely to die within ten years generallyD. are mostly assisted by especially-designed robots60. According to the author, Hawking’s achievements in science lie in ____________.A. his interest in physicsB. his research on the universeC. his creation of black holesD. his strong will against disease61. Hawking believes that if they want to survive, human beings must ____________.A. study the universe without stopB. protect the environment of the earthC. realize the way the universe worksD. escape possible future disastersCMar 8, , a traditional International Women’s Day, turned out to be distressing. Every one throughout the world felt deeply grieved at the news that MH370 became missing with 227 passengers on board, including 153 from the Chinese mainland and one from Taiwan. The disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines 777 plane brings back memories of Air France flight 447, which went missing over the Atlantic Ocean in June .The Airbus A330 took off from Rio de Janeiro and was bound for Paris when it crashed, killing all 228 people on board.When the Air France Operations Coordination Centre alerted the French Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety (BEA) that it had lost contact with the plane, a search began immediately, using air, naval, and underwater operations, including autonomous underwater vehicles. The first bits of debris(碎片) were found on the ocean surface on June 6, five days after the crash. Most of the wreckage(残骸) was located in April, nearly two years later. The “black boxes”—the cockpit(驾驶员座舱) voice recorder and flight data recorder —were found a month after that. Only then could investigators form a complete picture of what brought down the plane.The problem was that the jet crashed, the BEA final report says, “in a region with rough landform and whose ocean bed presents great variation in depth over short distances of between 700 metres and 4,300 metres.”In other words, ________________________________. Most of the wreckage was eventually found 6.5 nautical miles from the last known position, on a plain 3,900 meters below the surface.So far, no wreckage from the Malaysia plane has been found, though a Vietnamese air force aircraft located two large oil slicks that may be from the missing plane. The aerial search will continue once the sun has risen. Fortunately, the Gulf of Thailand is just 250 feet deep at its deepest point, according to airline analyst Robert W. Mann, Jr., so the search might be much shorter than the Air France one.Investigators finally determined that the Air France flight went down after the pilots reacted improperlyafter ice crystals blocked air speed sensors. They ultimately stalled the plane, causing the crash.There’s no reason to think that the same thing happened here, because we have no information about what happened to the Malaysia jet, and officials say there were no reports of bad weather along the route. A crucial step in figuring that out will be finding the wreckage and the black boxes. The search will still continue.62. According to the text, the following about Air France flight 447 is true EXCEPT that _______________.A. It went missing on Children’s Day,B. Most of the wreckage was found in April,C. The “black boxes” were found in May,D. It took longer to search for the Air France flight 447 that the MH37063. Which of the following sentence can help complete the blank in Para.4?A. It was an extremely risky area for planeB. it was a remarkably difficult area to search.C. It was a rather difficult area for help to reachD. It was a absolutely scary area for pilots64. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To keep us informed of the latest news about MH370B. To compare Air France flight 447 with MH370C. To remind us of the air craft of Air France flight 447D. To appeal to us to look into the truth of the disappearance of MH370DWinter is near at hand. On his bench in Madison Square, Soapy moved uneasily.A dead leaf fell in Soapy’s lap. Soapy’s mind became aware that the time had come for him to resolve himself into a singular Committee of ways and means to provide against the coming rigour(严寒).The winter ambitions of Soapy were not of the highest. For years the hospitable Blackwell’s Prison had been his winter quarters. On the previous night three newspapers, distributed beneath his coat, about his ankles and over his lap, had failed to fight the cold as he slept on his bench in the ancient square. So the Island appeared large and timely in Soapy’s mind. Determined to go to the Island, Soapy immediately set about accomplishing his desire. There were many easy ways of doing this. The pleasantest was to dine luxuriously at some expensive restaurant, and then after declaring to be penniless, be handed over quietly to a policeman. A helpful judge would do the rest.Soapy left his bench and wandered out of the square. Up Broadway he turned, and stopped at a glittering café. but the head waiter’s eye fell upon his ragged trousers and shoes. Strong and ready hands turned him about and conveyed him in silence and haste to the sidewalk.At a corner of Sixth Avenue electric lights, Soapy took a cobble-stone and dashed it through the glass. People came running round the corner, a policeman in the lead. Soapy stood still, with his hands in his pockets, waiting to be taken away. But the policeman’s mind refused to accept Soapy even as a clue.On the opposite side of the street was a small restaurant. At a table Soapy sat and consumed beefsteak,flap-jacks, and pie. And then to the waiter he betrayed the fact that the minutest coin and himself were strangers.“Now, get busy and call a cop,” said Soapy. To his disappointment, neatly upon his left ear on the hard pavement, two waiters pitched Soapy. He struggled to his feet and beat the dust from his clothes. Arrest seemed but a rosy dream. The Island seemed very far away.Five blocks Soapy travelled before his courage permitted him to run after capture again. A young woman of a modest and pleasing dress was standing before a show window gazing with shining interest at its display, and two yards from the window a large policeman leaned against a water-plug.Soapy sidled toward the young woman, causing her to move away a few steps. With half an eye he saw the policeman was watching him fixedly. Soapy bravely stepped to the woman’s side, raised his hat and said: “Ah, Bedelia! Don’t you want to come and play in my yard?”“Sure, Mike,” she said joyfully, “if you’ll buy me some beers. I’d have spoken to you sooner, but the cop was watching.”The young woman then became attached to him. At the next corner he shook off his companion and ran.On the sidewalk Soapy began to yell drunken gibberish(胡言乱语) at the top of his harsh voice. He danced, howled, and otherwise disturbed the peace. A policeman turned his back to Soapy and explained to a citizen, “This is one of the Yale guys celebrating the goose egg they give to the Hartford College. Noisy, but no harm.” Depressed, Soapy paused his seemingly useless roaring. Would never a policeman lay hands on him? In his fancy the Island seemed an unreachable Arcadia(世外桃源).In a cigar store he saw a well-dressed man lighting a cigar at a swinging light. His silk umbrella he had set by the door on entering. Soapy stepped inside, secured the umbrella and went off with it slowly. The man at the cigar light followed hurriedly.“My umbrella,” he said severely. “Oh, is it?” sneered Soapy, “Well, why don’t you call a policeman? There stands one on the corner.”“Well,”said the umbrella man, “You know how these mistakes occur. I, I, if it’s your umbrella, I hope you’ll excuse me. I picked it up this morning in a restaurant. If you recognise it as yours, I hope you’ll…”“Of course it’s mine,” said Soapy evilly.Soapy walked eastward through a street. He threw the umbrella angrily into a dustbin. He complained about the cop. He wanted to be thrown into the Blackwell’s, but they seemed to regard him as a king who could do no wrong.65. What is the dream island that Soapy has been trying his best to enter?A. the hospitable Blackwell’s PrisonB. the bench in Madison SquareC. the warm police stationD. the corner of Sixth Avenue electric lights66. How many times has Soapy tried but failed?A. 4B. 5C. 6D. 767. The following paragraph is taken from the passage. It can be put __________.“Soapy turned off Broadway. It seemed that his route to the dream island was not to be a success. Some other way must be thought of.”A. between Para. 5 and 6B. between Para. 7 and 8C. between Para. 10 and 11D. between Para. 13 and 1468. We can infer from the passage that _______________________.A. The Island was the best place for Soapy to live through the cold winterB. The police regarded Soapy as a king who could do no wrongC. Life was too hard for Soapy and he nearly gave up on himselfD. Soapy found his lost umbrella unexpectedly but threw it away69. The author wrote the passage in a(n) _________ way to make us deep in thought.A. conservativeB. teasingC. objectiveD. skeptical70. Which of the following shows the psychological changes of Soapy?A. Happy——Sad——AngryB. Sad——Happy——AngryC. Disappointed——Hopeful——DepressedD. Hopeful——Disappointed——Depressed第五部分任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Few women choose academic careers in math-intensive fields because the lifestyle is not consistent with motherhood, researchers at Cornell University found in a study to be published next month in American Scientist Magazine.Universities have long been criticized for hiring and evaluation policies that discriminate against women, but the findings of this new study point to the female biological clock as a main reason why so few women end up as professors in fields such as math, engineering, physics and computer science.A woman who wants a family looks at the tough path to a tenured（终身的）position and considers how old she will be before she can start a family and how little time she will have to raise her children. Many of those women choose a more flexible career."Universities have been largely inflexible about anything other than the standard timetable, which means you'll have to struggle for years and only then would you consider getting pregnant,” said Wendy Williams, a human development professor at Cornell who co-authored the study with her husband, Stephen Ceci.Williams and Ceci analyzed data about the academic careers of men and women with and without children. Before women became mothers, they had careers equal to or more successful than their male peers. But once they gave birth, the dynamic changed.Women in other academic fields such as the humanities and social sciences face similar problems and often leave academia as well. But because there are so many women in those Ph.D. programs, enough finally stay to amount to a critical mass of female professors.In math-heavy fields, however, women make up a tiny minority of the graduate students. So when the rare few who make it through a Ph.D. program leave because universities are not concerned about their needs as mothers at all, the net result is almost no women represented on faculty rosters (教师名单), the第六部分读写任务（共1题，满分25分）阅读下面材料，按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

I drive thoughtfully as if I’m being tested for a license.I won’t even allow myself to frown when another driver is blocking my path.My kids hav e noticed my fear in public. “Why are you looking all around Mum?’’ they asked.“You can’t be too careful,” I said. “Every single person around us is hiding one of cellphone cameras. They are glad to catch somebody doing something stupid or embarrassing. T hen they’ll put it on YouTube and a million people will see. I’m not taking any chances.”“But I don’t think anyone is interested in filming you putting on your lipstick for a YouTube video,” answered one kid.“Oh, really? Don’t count me out so quickly,” I said.Actually, in some cases, I am all for public shaming. For example, I admire the cleverness of the man who put up a website where he posts photos of cars and license numbers of people who occupy two parking spots. And I take secret pleasure in photos of politicians with their fingers in their noses. Throwing light on bad behavior can rouse the sleepy conscience (良知).But what about the poor guy who has already had a bad day at work and then loses his temper at a rude store clerk? What about the woman whose only crime is a terrible judgment error at the hairdresser? Do they deserve to have their images uploaded onto the Internet for all the world to see?None of this is new, of course. Allen Funt pioneered the art of catching people during unguarded mo ments back in the 1940s with “Candid Camera”. But there’s a difference. On “Candid Camera”, people are set up in staged situations, such as riding in an elevator that goes sideways. And they must give permission before they enjoy their fifteen minutes of fame. Now we are a nation of Allen Funts. This can’t be a good thing.24. What is the author like?A. She is poor at driving.B. She is a very fashionable dresser.C. She is very cautious about her behavior.D. She is sick to death of others' rudeness.25. What is the author truly afraid of?A. Making mistakes before her kids.B. Being filmed while doing something stupid.C. Getting involved in a quarrel with others.D. Watching videos on YouTube.26. From the text, the author thinks it good .A. to keep the poor’s mistakes secret.B. to download images from the Internet.C. to take pleasure in making funny videos.D. to make the public aware of bad behavior.27. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggest?A. People can be easily caught in embarrassing moments.B. We are permitted to upload images onto the Internet.C. It was once a fashion to film people in unguarded moments.D. Cellphones make it convenient to catch illegal behavior.CWearing a red nose for a day may seem like a strange way to raise money for charity. However, it seems to work in Britain. Red Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by Richard Curtis. He wrote the series “Blackadder” as well as the famous films “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Notting Hill’’. Richard’s idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe lack of food in Et hiopia. It’s called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring and is now so well developed that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday. For example, many schools have non-uniform days.The slogan for the last RND was “Do Something Funny for Money” and the money collected was used to help fund projects in the following areas: treating malaria, education, maternal health and mental health. The BBC Red Nose Day telethon raised £ 74.3 million! Money-raising events take place all over the country and many schools join in. People also donate money by post, in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.Getting sponsored to do something is a common way to raise money on RND. If someone sponsors you it means that they agree to give you a certain amount of money for your actions. Here are some ways that peopleraise money: wear their pyjamas (睡衣) all day at work or in school, or grow a moustache or beard for a month.So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day, now you know why you may find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things! It is all for a good cause!28. The purpose of Comic Relief is .A. to celebrate Red Nose DayB. to help those in need in Africa and BritainC. to warn people against some diseasesD. to raise money for Mr. Curtis’s films29. Red Nose Day got its name mainly from its .A. creatorB. birthplaceC. aid receiversD. products for sale30. Which of the following is TRUE about Red Nose Day?A. It is celebrated in the spring every other year.B. People celebrate this day to bring happiness to others.C. Richard Curtis, the famous writer, started Red Nose Day.D. Some people raise money by growing a beard for a week.31. Paragraph 4 is mainly to show that in Britain RND .A. is considered an official holidayB. lasts for a long timeC. is popular with peopleD. is well designed for TVDVinegar is great. It makes salad, fries and dumplings taste better, and you can even clean your windows with it. And now, according to scientists, it may even help the planet’s population survive climate change. Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan proved that. They found growing plants in vinegar makes them more resistant to droughts. This could mean that in the future, worries about climate change affecting the world’s supply of food will be much lower.The discovery was made after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis, a plant known for its ability to survive in dry weather. It was found that when the plant was placed in drought-like conditions, it produced a chemical called acetate (醋酸盐)—the main component of vinegar.After discovering this, the scientists experimented further by adding acetate to the soil of other plants before they stopped giving them water completely. After leaving the plants for 14 days, they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived, while the untreated plants had dried up and died.It’s hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be used to help fanners in dry countries keep their crops alive. “In the experiment, we targeted the staple foods of the world—rice, wheat andmaize…and proved successful” Jong Myong Kim, co-author of the study, told Popular Science magazine.Kim has already been in touch with people around the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from farmers to companies and amateur gardeners. “Now we are trying to cooperate with them to make a method to apply this system, and make the process as simple as possible,” he said. Hopefully this means the end of hunger caused by bad weather in the future.32. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Vinegar may help creatures survive bad weather.B. Vinegar is found in plants by Japanese scientists.C. Vinegar is very useful for cooking a good meal.D. Vinegar is mainly used by people to clean houses.33. Scientists in Japan find from their studies that .A. the Arabidopsis could survive in dry weather because of the shapeB. soil condition could be changed by pouring vinegar continuallyC. the acetate can be used by farmers to replace the soilD. the plants treated with acetate could survive dry conditions34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. It’s too difficult for farmers to accept the method.B. How to decrease the cost is the main issue.C. The method is promising especially in agriculture.D. Keeping plants alive means a lot for scientists.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Japanese Scientists Find a PlantB. Vinegar Could End HungerC. Vinegar and FoodD. Plants Need Water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。

Here are some of the most influential inventions in the first decade.1．iPod and iTunes: =These two inventions from Apple Inc. presented a revolutionary new way for people to listen to music and fundamentally changed the recording industry. iTunes was introduced in January, 2001 and was marketed as a program that transferred（转录）CDs into digital audio files and helped organize digital recordings. Later that year, Apple introduced the iPod, a device（设备）that used a hard disk to store music files. The first model had a 5GB capacity and could hold over 1,000 songs.2．iPhone:The iPhone from Apple Inc. was released in June of 2007 and completely changed the way mobile phones are used personally and in business. Older phones typically included voice communications and sometimes a keyboard to send text messages. Phones that offered internet access were usually unreadable and difficult to handle. The iPhone introduced the multi-touch interface（界面）that allows for quick and easy access to data, music, and pictures while providing storage for other important information.3．Electric Car:Tesla Motors was formed in 2003．It was the first company to produce a vehicle that did not have significant difficulty in production or sales. Tesla vehicles claim an 88% efficiency rating compared to 20-25% for traditional gasoline-powered cars. According to data from the National Fire Protection Association, a driver is “5 times more likely to experience a fire in a traditional gasoline car than a Tesla.”4．Facebook:Facebook was not the first social networking website, but since its introduction in 2004 it has been the most influential medium. 150 million users worldwide appreciate its multitude of features and easy accessibility. The concept of building connections through internet has changed the manner in which businesses market their products and people interact with one another.21．What can we learn about iTunes? ________A．It is used to store music.B．It has a hard disk.C．It turns CDs into digital audio files.D．It was introduced after iPod was invented.22．Compared to a traditional gasoline-powered car, Tesla ________A．takes in bigger profitsB．works in lower efficiencyC．sells better in the car marketD．is much safer from fire damage23．Which two inventions changed the way of doing business? ________A．iPod and iTunes.B．iPhone and Facebook.C．iPhone and Electric Car.D．Electric Car and Facebook.BThomas Hardy, probably the most searching and knowledgeable novelist of our time, was born on June 2, 1840, in Dorsetshire, England. He died on January 11, 1928．In his youth, Hardy read much and dreamt of becoming a poet, but he studied and practiced architecture as an assistant to a London architect, winning a prize for design. The fine descriptions of structure in his novels were probably somewhat due to his architectural training.For five years he worked hard to practise writing poetry, but when he was twenty-seven, Hardy turned to fiction. His first story was accepted two years later, but upon the advice of George Meredith he decided not to publish it. His first novel, Desperate Remedies, appeared in 1871．During the next twenty-five years he published fourteen novels and two collections of short stories.Under the Greenwood Tree（1872）he never surpassed（超越）in happy and delicate perfection of art. This and his next novel, A pair of Blue Eyes（1873）, begin to show deep irony（讽刺）which is so obvious throughout Hardy’s writings.Far from the madding Crowd（1874）was his first popular success. In it is shown Hardy’s amazing power of describing nature as symbolic background for his characters, an organic part of the action of his story. This was the earliest of what he called his novels of character and environment, which included The Return of the Native, Tess of D’Urbervilles, his masterpiece, and Jude the Obscure. Not until he was fifty-eight years old was his first collection of poems published, and he was sixty-four when the first part of The Dymats, surprised the literary world. 24．How did Thomas Hardy benefit from his architectural career? ________A．He could practice writing while working.B．He made a lot of money to support his writing.C．He found material for his novels and poems.D．He applied architectural knowledge in his novels.25．What is Thomas Hardy’s Under the Greenwood Tree considered to be? ________A．One of his masterworks.B．One of his best collections of poems.C．His best novel in perfection of art.D．His first popular success.26．Which of the following is one of his novels of character and environment? ________A．Desperate Remedies.B．A pair of Blue Eyes.C．Tess of D’Urbervilles.D．The Dymats.27．What type of writing is this text? ________A．A biography.B．A book review.C．A novel.D．A news report.CFor those who have no access to clean water, the phrase “a thirst for knowledge” may soon have a new meaning. Researchers have developed a book with specially treated pages that can make water safe to drink. The researchers say their invention could improve the lives of many in the developing world.An estimated 600 to 700 million people around the world are at risk of disease or even death because their drinking water is not clean. The water is infected with harmful bacteria or other pollutants. But researcher Teri Dankovich has developed a special book that could turn dirty water into clean, drinkable water. The book contains 25 pages. Each page is about one millimeter thick. The pages contain very small particles（微粒）of silver. The pages can be used as filters（过滤器）to remove harmful microorganisms that can pollute drinking water. The filter kills the organisms that pass through it. Ms. Dankovich says each page can treat up to 100 liters of water. Pictures on the pages show the dangers of dirty water and how to use the book for those unable to read. The pages are made of filter paper. They are designed to be torn from the book. Water can be poured through the paper to be decontaminated.Teri Dankovich and another researcher tested the drinkable book in Bangladesh, Ghana and South Africa. The tests proved to be successful. At the meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston, Ms. Dankovich was asked whether she has considered adding classic literature on the book’s pages. “The idea of classical texts – that’s of interest maybe later. But we have discussed a little bit more exciting text. But we really haven’t had the time to go through that part,” she laughed.Water for Life, a non-governmental organization, has provided financial support for the project. It costs just pennies per page to produce each book.28．How does the book help people get clean water? ________A．The tiny metal particles on the pages remove the pollution.B．Its pages can produce small particles when dropped into water.C．It contains knowledge of water cleaning on each of the pages.D．It carries information about the harm caused by dirty water.29．The underlined word “decontaminated” in Paragraph 2 probably mean ________A．testedB．boiledC．absorbedD．cleaned30．What can we infer about the drinkable book with classical texts? ________A．It will be available soon.B．It’s a joke to the researchers.C．It’s a waste of time to do research on them.D．It has not been on the researchers’ schedule.31．What is the passage mainly about? ________A．Book pages providing safe drinking water.B．Water pollution in developing countries.C．Books designed to improve people’s lives.D．A new test carried out successfully.DIf you’re locking into your career plans, college counselor Nancy has three words for you: Don’t do it. Actually, Nancy isn’t the only counselor advising students to take their time in discovering who they are and what they want to do when they get out of college.“Preparing broadly makes sense to me,” she explains, “and that the best preparation for a future that is still unfolding, is a broad preparation. It shouldn’t prevent you from following areas that light you up, but a broad preparation will prepare you for multiple careers.” That’s important because jobs change more frequently due to changes in technology and business competition. Some jobs that are available today may be on their way out in 10 years. “The best thing about preparing broadly is that you get to live in a big world,” says Nancy. “You avoid getting stuck in a job or business area, and if your job becomes out of date, you can move on.”Many students make the mistake of working on "the next step in front of them," avoiding time to explore their interests or reflect on what they're learning about themselves. For example, students will look at a college and try to figure out what the college is looking for in a student. Then they try to remake themselves into that student, even though it might go against who they really are.Students let the “next-step mentality” hold back their learning as well. Many students don’t take courses outside their comfort zone for fear it will ruin their GPA（平均成绩）and their chances of getting into a certain college. “You may be unwilling to go outside your areas of strength for fear you’ll get a low grade,” says Nancy. “But if you think one grade in one class will ruin your chances of admission, you’re doing harm to yourself. Colleges look at a number of factors in addition to grades. Students often think requirements of colleges are much stricter and narrower than they really are.”Since colleges work to admit a diverse group of students, the best thing to do is be yourself and explore your options. There are many people in their late 20s who are unhappy in their careers and who regret that they didn’t pursue a wider range of interests while in college.32．Nancy’s advice is based on ________A．Rising unemployment.B．Strict college requirements.C．A fast-changing job market.D．A lower academic performance33．What does the underlined phrase “comfort zone” in Paragraph 4 refer to? ________A．Their career plans.B．Their favorite courses.C．The jobs they dream of.D．The subjects they are good at.34．According to the text, which of the following is a “next-step mentality”? ________A．Studying to meet a certain job requirements when in college.B．Spending time exploring interests while learning.C．Taking new courses in varied fields.D．Reading all types of books.35．Who will probably find the text most helpful? ________A．Business managers.B．Job seekers.C．College students.D．Employees.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.选项中有两项为多余选项.As most of us know, talking and listening don’t go smoothly every time. Will parents take you seriously, believe what you say, listen to and respect your opinions? 36 But some of what happens depends on you, too. Since communication is a two-way street, the way you talk can influence how well a parent listens and understands you. So here are some guidelines to consider when talking to parents:Be clear and direct. Be as clear as you can about what you think, feel, and want. 37 They can listen better or be more helpful if they understand what you mean and what’s really going on.Be honest. If you’re always honest, a parent will be likely to believe what you say. If you sometimes hide the truth or add too much drama, parents will have a harder time believing what you tell them. If you lie, they’ll find it hard to trust you.Try to understand their point of view. If you have a disagreement, can you see your parents’ side? 38 Telling parents you understand their views and feelings helps them be willing to see yours, too.Try not to argue or complain. Using a tone that’s friendly and respectful makes it more likely parents will listen and take what you say seriously. 39 If you think your emotions might get the better of you, do something to blow off steam before talking: Go for a run. Cry. 40 Do whatever it takes to sound calm when you need to. A．Hit your pillow.B．If you can, say so.C．A lot depends on your parent.D．Think twice before you make a decision.E．Your parents won’t always see things your way.F．Give details that can help parents understand your situation.G．Of course, this is hard for any of us when we’re feeling heated about something.第三部分:英语知识运用（共两节,满分45分）57．A．courageous B．generous C．polite D．responsible 58．A．drive B．search C．run D．pass59．A．popular B．common C．avoidable D．favorable 60．A．feelings B．emotions C．kindness D．behavior第Ⅱ卷第三部分:英语知识运用（共两节,满分45分）第四部分:写作（共两节,满分35分）第一节短文改错（共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文.文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处.每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改.增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号（/\）,并在其下面写出该加的词.删除:把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉.修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词.注意:1．每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;2．只允许修改10处,多者（从第11处起）不计分.Last Monday, we hold a monitor election during our class meeting. Two students in our class took part the event. They are Liu Dong and Wang Hong, all of whom are the top students in our grade. Before the election, they each gave a briefly presentation about their plan after become the monitor.

In the end, we gave Wang Hong a big hand but congratulated her. I expect that our class will be better under his leadership. 第二节书面表达（满分25分）假定你是李华,计划暑假期间到英国University of Nottingham学习英语,为期三个月,学习期间想找一份兼职工作.请给英国的朋友Anna写信求助,要点如下:1．你的学习安排;2．做兼职的原因;3．可胜任的工作（餐厅服务员、儿童汉语教师……）.注意:1．词数100左右;2．可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯.Dear Anna,How are you doing? _______________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking forward to your reply.Yours,Li Hua- 11 - / 11。

Rescue efforts are still going on.Emergency workers have made contact with the miners via a radio. And they all appear to be uninjured, said Jessica, the emergency department’s assistant director.Emergency workers have managed to provide some heat bags and blankets to the miners so that they can keep warm during the rescue operation. Details about what led to the workers’ being trapped in the elevator were still unknown.The mine, along New York’s Cayuga Lake, processes salt used for road treatment. It produces about 2 million tons of salt that is shipped to more than 1,500 places in the northeastern United States. The rock salt mine is one of the three, and the other two in Louisiana in the Southern United States, and Ohio in the Mid-western United States.。

AInside the Rain RoomThe Rain Room has arrived and local art lovers are taking notice. Is it worth the wait? Yes, I assure you it is. Once inside, visitors find a long, dark room with a high ceiling. A single bright light shines through heavy rain falling around visitors. The mist. The damp air. The noise. It feels like a mighty storm is pouring down. But the storm is inside. And vi sitors aren’t getting wet. Instead, visitors wander in awe, admiring the rain and the artists who created it.The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans, nature and technology. With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that. Light and sound produce an experience that feels both natural and foreign. The exhibit is moving on to Atlanta next month. I urge you to visit before then. It’s time to experience the Rain Room for yourself!Welcome to the Rain Room•The Rain Room features falling water. Please be aware you may get slightly wet.However, visitors wearing raincoats will be turned away.•This exhibit features advanced technology. To ensure its effectiveness, please avoid wearing dark or reflective clothing.•Visitors are welcome to take photographs of the exhibit.•Children must be accompanied by an adult.•For the convenience of all guests, visits are limited to 10 minutes.21. Wha t’s the purpose of the text?A. To attract visitors to a new art exhibit.B. To explain how an exhibit has been created.C. To describe the technology used in the exhibit.D. To promote the artists taking part in an exhibit.22. What’s the function of the exhibit’s tracking system?A. To keep visitors from getting wet.B. To protect the exhibit from water damage.C.

Leave your camera outside.D. Pass through within 10 minutes.BDujiangyan is the oldest man-made water system in the world, and a wonder m the development of Chinese science. Built over 2,200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China, this amazing engineering achievement is still used today to irrigate over 6,000 square kilometres of farmland, take away floodwater and provide water for 50 cities m the province.In ancient times, the region in which Dujiangyan now stands suffered from regular floods caused by overflow from the Minjiang River. To help the victims of the flooding, Li Bing, the region^ governor, together with his son, decided to find a solution. They studied the problem and discovered that the river most often overflowed when winter snow at the top of the nearby Mount Yulei began to melt as the weather warmed.The simplest fix was to build a dam, but this would have ruined the Minjiang River. So instead Li designed a series of channels built at different levels along Mount Yulei that would take away the floodwater while leaving the river flowing naturally. Better still, the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain, making it suitable for farming.Cutting the channels through the hard rock of Mount Yulei was a remarkable accomplishment as it was done long before the invention gunpowder and explosives. £1 Bing found another solution. He used a combination of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they cracked and could be removed. After eight years of work, the 20-metre-wide canals had been carved through the mountain.Once the system was finished, no more floods occurred and the people were able to live peacefully and affluently. Today, Dujiangyan is admired by scientists from around the world because of one feature. Unlike modem dams where the water is blocked with a huge wall, Dujiangyan still lets water flow through the Minjiang River naturally, enabling ecosystems and fish populations to exist in harmony.24. What are the benefits of Dujiangyan according to the first paragraph?A. Reducing flooding and watering farmland.B. Protecting the mountain and reducing flooding.C. Watering farmland and improving water quality.D. Drying the river and supplying cities with water.25. What was the main cause of the Minjiang Rivers flooding?A. Heavy rains.B. Melting snow.C. Low river banks.D. Steep mountains.26. How was Li Bing able to break through the rocks of Mount Yulei?A. By using gunpowder.B. By flooding the rocks with water.C. By applying a heating and cooling technique.D. By breaking the rocks with hammers and spades.27. Why is Dujiangyan greatly admired by scientists today?A. It preserves much of the natural river life.B. It took very little time to complete the project.C. The building tech niques used were very modem.D. It has raised the living standards of the local people.CBill Gates recently predicted that online learning will make place-based colleges less significant, and five years from now, students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online. I applaud Mr. Gates. But what’s taking us so long?As early as 1997, MIT (麻省理工）decided to post videos of all university lectures online, for free, for all people. But today, how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video? Unfortunately, the answer is not many.The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the experience they provide to students. Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people, but ifs not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft. Only the most ardent students, those who are highly motivated, will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos.The real question is why we aren’t spending more to develop better online education platforms. Where is the Avatar of education? Think about this. The market for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30 billion USD. Education in the world is a trillion-dollar-a-year market, hundreds of times bigger than Hollywood movies. Yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100 million dollars.Bill Gates’ prediction is going to happen. There is no doubt about it. But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and experiences that engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real world.28. What has Bill Gates forecast about online learning?A. It will concentrate on physics lectures.B. It will completely replace real universities.C. It will help to make universities more successful.D. It will play an increasingly important role in education.29. What does the underlined word “ardent” in Paragraph 3 mean?.A. Creative.B. Enthusiastic.C. Well-behaved.D. Experienced.30. According to the author, what is holding back the popularity of online learning?A. The lack of lectures available online.B. The high cost of access to the websites.C. The low standard of educational websites.D. The competition with online computer games.31. Why does the author mention Hollywood?A. To show that Hollywood produces many successful movies.B. To prove that education is more profitable than entertainment.C. To argue that movie directors should produce educational content.D. To urge that more money be spent developing educational websites.DPersuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion : ethos, pathos, and logos.Ethos is a speakers way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, you’re more lik ely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you, you will not be able to persuade them.Patho s is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience’s emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them support him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats, to make the viewers feel pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals, they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics, or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “believe me”.Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. Indeed, most speakers use a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade their audiences. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial, or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.32. Why does the author say persuasion is an art?A. They both entertain the audience.B. They both require great skill to achieve.C. They both demand full attention from the audience.D. They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers.33. How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience?A. By expressing her sympathy with the audience.B. By telling the audience about her personal preference.C. By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive.D. By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic. .34. What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?A. Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.B. Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.C. Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.D. Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.35. An advertisement for washing powder which claims that M scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria” is mainly using _________.A. ethosB. pathosC. logosD. a combination of all three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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

It is a surrender to your emotions that 20 you that you are human and you are entitled to your emotions, 21 they are pleasant or not.Just like water that washes off filth, tears 22 wash off the negative thoughts and feelings. That is why when you are in pain or in sorrow, do not 23 and let your tears roll down naturally. After a while you will feel that you somehow feel a bit better. Your tears bee a form of 24 when problems bee too much for us to bear.In my opinion, people who are not afraid to cry 25 are stronger than those who hold back the tears for later. If the reason for crying is 26 and your emotions are very strong, you have no reason to be ashamed.Tears can make you 27 in a way. When faced with a problem, people who hold back their tears tend to constantly worry and stress about the problem and fail to see the 28 right away. This makes them more prone to weakness and to more mistakes. These people may 29 strong because they hide what they truly feel. But the truth is, all the pretensions make them a weaker person.On the other hand, people who openly 30 themselves to cry, whether in public or in private get to release their 31 emotions much sooner than those who are ashamed to do so. After crying, these people feel more calm and can then begin to think straight. 32 the negative thoughts and emotions have been reduced, they can see things 33 and can easily think of ways to solve the problem.As the saying goes, “The truth shall set you free.” Tears show others your true emotions. Do not be afraid to express what you truly feel. 34 is letting your natural reactions out without any fear or embarrassment. You are simply being true to your heart and to yourself. Your true strength is using your tears to easily 35 your moment of suffering. Now that is the power of tears.16. A. inspiration B. impression C. intention D. identification17.

Eventually, this kind of cooperation will increase Chinese cultural exports.”The CWWCS is the only valid organization approved by the National Copyright Administration to collectively manage and operate copyright in China.Kevin Fitzgerald, Chief Executive of the CLA, is confident the British agency will provide a safe and fair environment for the influence of Chinese written works to grow in UK.“It’s significant for the Chinese publishing industry’s global development. We are happy to be part of the teamwork, which will protect copyright holders’economic benefits from being harmed by piracy and violation,” Fitzgerald said. Richard Mollet, chair of the UK Publisher’s Association and the UK Alliance for Intellectual Property, and UK Minister for Intellectual Property Baroness Lucy Neville-Rolfe also attended the signing ceremony.36. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. It is the first time that Chinese written works have been launched in Britain.B. There have been six Intellectual Property Saloons between UK and China.C. CLA has gained profits from 39,000 organizations and publications.D. The Chinese authors and publishers will be under the inspection of CLA.37. Yan Xiaohong holds the belief that ________.A. Chinese writers and publishers will promote the global economyB. Britain will guarantee a safe and fair environment for the growth of Chinesewritten worksC. Chinese written works will be placed under the umbrella against copyrightviolation in more countries.D. The Sino-UK cooperation on copy right regulation and operation has increasedChinese cultural exportsBMost people don’t get enough sleep at night. For many people being sleep deprived means not functioning as well as they could be, but for millions of other people lack of sleep is a sign of a serious health condition.People who are suffering from exhaustion, high blood pressure and inexplicable headaches are all showing symptoms of a sleep disorder called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).Why don’t people with OSA get the sleep that they need every night? The answer may surprise you—it’s snoring!Snoring causes a person to wake up throughout the night. For most, snoring is simply a case of having to move your body from a bad position into one that’s more fortable to breathe in. But for the 18 million people in the United States suffering from OSA, snoring is their body’s cry for help. Throughout the night people with OSA literally stop breathing. They stop breathing because the muscles in their mouth, jaw, and throat relax, blocking the free flow of air in the airway. These moments of suffocation can last for up to an entire minute. A person with OSA wakes up hundreds of times during a single night as their bodies try not to suffocate. Snoring is their body’s only way to get enough air to breathe.The result is that when people with OSA get out of bed in the morning, they feellike they haven’t slept at all. And it’s true—they have not had a full sleep cycle. Not only are their bodies exhausted, they have opened up an entire range of new health problems that are associated with this extreme sleep loss, including heart attacks, depression, strokes, memory loss, acid reflux and diabetes.In the past, there weren’t that many treatment options available for people with sleep apnea. They could go and get an expensive diagnosis, and then drop several thousand dollars visiting a sleep clinic that would require an annoying overnight visit. One of the possible outes for such patients would be having to strap themselves into a CPAP breathing device for the entire night—that’s one of those breathing masks attached to an explosive tank next to your bed. Or worse, they would have to undergo a painful and invasive surgery.Luckily, all that has changed!Now there is the chin strap by MySnoringSolution. It’s a fortable and affordable treatment for OSA that keeps your breathing passages open while you wear it in bed. This treatment method has been found to be effective in a recent study at the Eastern Virginia Medical School’s Division of Sleep Medicine and it is clinically tested and doctor approved. It works by keeping the jaw and tongue from loosening up, thereby keeping the airway unobstructed. Made from lightweight materials with the sleeper’s maximum fort in mind, the chin strap has helped thousands get the sleep that their bodies have always needed at night.MySnoringSolution is so sure the chin strap will solve all of your sleep apnea troubles, no matter what your reason, you have 90 days to return your chin strap and get a full refund of your money (so you basically risk nothing by trying this out).It’s not just about getting a full night’s sleep— it’s about getting to sleep in a way that is fortable for you. Try MySnoringSolution now, get a good night’s sleep at last and end your snoring problems once and for all!38. For the majority of people, snoring ______.A. blocks the free flow of air in the airwayB. leads to high blood pressure, headaches and heart attacksC. calls for adjusting the body to a fortable position to breatheD. makes them stop breathing for a minute occasionally during the night39. The chin strap _______.A. costs several thousand dollarsB. cures you of all your health troublesC. requires you to stay in hospital throughout the nightD. costs you no loss of money unless it works within three months40. The underlined word ‘thereby’ in Paragraph 7 can be replaced by _______.A. thoughB. thusC. forD. and41. The purpose of the article is _______.A. to promote the chin strapB. to explain the symptoms of OSAC. to pare treatments for sleep apneaD. to emphasize the importance of sleep42. Which of the following can be the best title?A. How to Stop Snoring and Sleep Well AgainB. Harmful Effects of SnoringProblemsC. How to Choose Chin StrapsD. WonderfulTreatment for OSACIf you are a Dropbox user, then this piece of news will certainly set alarm bells ringing. Apparently, cybercriminals belonging to an unknown group have threatened to expose login details of more than seven million users worldwide.According to a Reddit thread, links to multiple files storing confidential Dropbox user-login details including usernames and passwords have been found.These personal user details were said to have been stored in plain text format, thus making them easily accessible to leaks and unauthorised use of account.Leaks were reportedly found within a web portal (入口) called Pastebin, which according to Next Web contains the login credentials (凭证) of an estimated 400 Dropbox user accounts.Hackers are apparently demanding Bitcoin donations in return for the stolen user login credentials, and have reportedly threatened to release more Dropbox user credentials online if their demands are not met.Dropbox denies user-credential hack.In a statement to Next Web, Dropbox has denied that the cloud storage service (and its server) was hacked. It added that user credentials were obtained by cyber criminals via third-party services and applications.The pany also stated that a significant number of passwords currently posted by hackers online have expired (失效) long ago.Finally, Dropbox adds that it had earlier detected attacks similar to the current username/password breach, and had taken precautions such as resorting to performing automatic password reset on 'suspicious' accounts.“Dropbox has not been hacked. These usernames and passwords were unfortunately stolen from other services and used in attempts to log in to Dropbox accounts. We'd previously detected these attacks and the vast majority of the passwords posted have been expired for some time now. All other remaining passwords have been expired as well,” said Dropbox, in a statement to Next Web.The cloud storage pany is also currently sending out emails to its users cautioning them to reset account password, in order to add security to their Dropbox account.In summary, even though Dropbox has denied that its servers were breached, and laid the blame for the latest hack on third-party applications, do remember that the pany's servers allow third-party apps to access the cloud-storage platform.43. Hackers steal Dropbox user accounts _______.A. to sell them and donate the moneyB. to store them in plain text formatC. to ask for peer-to-peer online moneyD. to prevent more leaks from Pastebin44. The underlined phrases ‘resorting to’ in Paragraph 9 probably means_______.A. subscribing toB. taking toC. appealing toD. turning to45. The author shows a(n) _______ attitude towards using Dropbox.A. aggressiveB. cautiousC. negativeD. submissive46. What’s the article mainly about?A. Dropbox users may have had their confidential information leaked.B. Millions of people worldwide trust the cloud storage pany.C. Cyber criminals obtained Dropbox users’ information via third-party servicesD. Hackers will release more information of Dropbox users unless their demandsare met.DWHEN THE TWINS left Scarlett standing on the porch of Tara and the last sound of flying hooves had died away, she went back to her chair like a sleepwalker. Her face felt stiff as from pain and her mouth actually hurt from having stretched it, unwillingly, in smiles to prevent the twins from learning her secret. She sat down wearily, and her heart swelled up with misery, until it felt too large for her bosom. Her hands were cold, and a feeling of disaster oppressed her. There were pain and bewilderment in her face, the bewilderment of a pampered child who has always had her own way for the asking and who now, for the first time, was in contact with the unpleasantness of life.Ashley to marry Melanie Hamilton!Oh, it couldn’t be true! The twins were mistaken. They were playing one of their jokes on her.Ashley couldn’t, couldn’t be in love with her. Nobody could, not with a mousy little person like Melanie. Scarlett recalled with contempt Melanie’s thin childish figure, her serious heart-shaped face that was plain almost to homeliness. And Ashley couldn’t have seen her in months. He hadn’t been in Atlanta more than twice since the house party he gave last year at Twelve Oaks. No, Ashley couldn’t be in love with Melanie, because—oh, she couldn’t be mistaken!—because he was in love with her! She, Scarlett, was the one he loved—she knew it!Flushed and breathing hard, she sat down on a stump to wait for her father. It was past time for him to e home, but she was glad that he was late. The delay would give her time to quiet her breathing and calm her face so that his suspicions would not be aroused. Every moment she expected to hear the pounding of his horse’s hooves and see him e charging up the hill at his usual breakneck speed. But the minutes slipped by and Gerald did not e. She looked down the road for him, the pain in her heart swelling up again.“Oh, it can’t be true!” she thought.It seemed strange now that when she was growing up Ashley had never seemed so very attractive to her. In childhood days, she had seen him e and go and never given him a thought.But since that day two years ago when Ashley, newly home from his three years’Grand Tour in Europe, had called to pay his respects, she had loved him. It was as simple as that.She had been on the front porch and he had ridden up the long avenue, dressed in gray broadcloth. Even now, she could recall each detail of his dress and how brightly his boots shone. And he said, “So you’ve grown up, Scarlett.” And, ing lightly up the steps, he had kissed her hand.And his voice! She would never forget the leap of her heart as she heard it,as if for the first time, drawling, resonant, musical.She had wanted him, in that first instant, wanted him as simply and unreasoningly as she wanted food to eat, horses to ride and a soft bed on which to lay herself.True, he never made love to her, nor did the clear gray eyes ever glow with that hot light Scarlett knew so well in other men. And yet—and yet—she knew he loved her. She could not be mistaken about it. Instinct stronger than reason and knowledge born of experience told her that he loved her.The very mystery of him excited her curiosity like a door that had neither lock nor key. The things about him which she could not understand only made her love him more, and his odd, restrained courtship only served to increase her determination to have him for her own. That he would propose some day she had never doubted, for she was too young and too spoiled ever to have known defeat. And now, like a thunderclap, had e this horrible news. Ashley to marry Melanie!It couldn’t be true!47. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The twins kept a secret from Scarlett.B. Scarlett was dreaming a terrible dream.C. The twins were made to feel extremely bitter.D. Scarlett was experiencing something unpleasant.48. How did Scarlett find Melanie?A. Melanie was not very beautiful.B. Melanie was a little thin and cruel.C. It was wrong of Melanie to love Ashley.D. Melanie was suspicious of Ashley’s love.49. What does the underlined word ‘propose’ probably mean in the last paragraph?A. put forward a suggestionB. ask for a marriageC. make a decisionD. accept one’s love50. We can infer from the passage that _______.A. Scarlett’s father loved her mother very muchB. Scarlett was more reasonable than emotionalC. Ashley was several years older than ScarlettD. Ashley loved Scarlett without telling her frankly四、任务型阅读 (共10小题，每小题１分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

But unlike the zoo’s other residents, they are not real animals. These creatures are actually huge sculptures and they’re made entirely out of plastic trash from the ocean.These giant artworks, along with 14 others, are part of a traveling exhibit called “Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea”. The Washed Ashore project, led by artist Angela Haseltine Pozzi, works to raise awareness about the problem of plastic pollution in Earth’s oceans.More than 315 billion pounds of plastic litter the world’s oceans today. Most of the plastic is garbage from towns and cities, as well as trash that people leave on beaches. rainwater, winds, and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once it is under the waves, the plastic begins to break up into smaller and smaller pieces. It often collects in spots called garbage patches, which spread over large areas of the ocean.Thousands of marine animals----including whales, sea turtles, and fish----die each year from eating or getting stuck in plastic bags and other items. Plastic pieces can also injure coral and kill sea grass.Washed Ashore and other organizations are working to stop that from happening. Since 2010, Washed Ashore volunteers have collected 38,000 pounds of plastic trash from more than3000 miles of beaches. They helped Pozzi create more than 60 sculptures of marine creatures that were harmed by plastic pollution.The artworks on display at the National Zoo include a 20-foot-long coral reef, a 12-foot-long shark, and a 16-foot-long parrot fish. Each one is made from hundreds of pieces of trash like water bottles and sunglasses.“These sculptures are a powerful reminder of our personal role and global responsibility in preserving biodiversity on land and in the sea,” says Dennis Kelly, director of the National Zoo.28. Why is Angela exhibiting her sculptured animal?A. To prove her talent in sculpture.B. To attract most visitors to the zoo.C. To care about the plastic pollution in seas.D. To teach the people the use of plastic.29.What is stressed in Para. 3 according to the text?A. Why plastic is difficult to break up.B. What problems plastic litter causes.C. Where plastic pieces go at last.D. How garbage patches are formed.30.What are Washed Ashore volunteers doing?A. Collecting pollution trash from the beaches.B. Turning trash from the ocean into art.C. Raising 38,000 pounds for plastic pollution.D. Surveying the data of plastic litter in oceans.31.Which of the following best describe Dennis Kelly’s attitude to Pozzi’s sculpture?A. DoubtfulB. SupportiveC. Negative.D. IndifferentDReading instruction in the classroom is a key concern for all teachers and there are many ways to go about it. However, is our determination to achieve excellence in reading skills in our children killing their love and enjoyment of a good book?In my work with parents, I am frequently asked the best ways to encourage reluctant readers to be engaged with books. Parents report that their children return home from school with no inclination to pick up a book and read.Any eager reader will gladly talk about the joy with a good book to read away the hours on a cold, rainy afternoon. Reading a good book is one of life’s greatest pleasures. We need to share these experiences with our children in order to assist them in developing into strong readers. But the use of boring, mass-produced home reading texts in children’s early years at school can be seen as the beginning of this negative cycle.As children progress through their schooling life, there are many other instances of learning reading skills that don’t help reading development. Frequently, teachers feel the pressure to give their students “ just enough” in terms of reading strategies to be able to achieve the test, which leaves little time to focus on reading for pleasure.Kelly Gallagher, a high school teacher, outlines the term” Readicide” in his book. He says it’s: the systematic killing of the love of reading, often worsened by foolish, boring practices found in schools.Recent research shows that many teachers tend to follow the traditional literacy practices that they have experienced in their own education, which can often have negative intentions for their students.While teaching children key concepts for analyzing and evaluating texts is important, the manner in which it is done and time that is spent on this can lead to unexpected results. Schools aren’t to bl ame when it comes to not arresting students’ lack of interest in reading, but they have an important role to play in fostering reading enjoyment.32.What does the underlined word “inclination” mean?A. EnergyB. TaskC. IntentionD. Requirement33.What does the term “Readicide” refer to?A. To develop reading habitsB. To read for pleasureC. To learn reading skillsD. To kill a love for books34.According to the text, teachers at school ______.A. focus on teaching reading strategiesB. ignore key concepts for analyzing textsC. are to blame for students’ poor readingD. fail to follow the traditional reading practices35.What might be suitable title for the text?A. Reading books is to experience pleasureB. Learning to love books is even more importantC. Teaching reading helps reluctant readersD.
