AReading a bedtime story to his son one evening, Carl Honore noticed that he was reading very quickly. He was thinking about all the things he had to do later: check email, make phone calls, book a flight, prepare things for work, and so on. He suddenly realized that he had become caught in the trap of speed, rushing here and there, getting up early in the morning and burning the midnight oil at night. The more he thought about the fast pace of modern life, the worse he felt. He had ended up speed-reading to his son because he was so busy.As a journalist, he was curious about the phenomenon he was experiencing, so he did some research. He found that Americans now spend forty percent less time with their children than they did in the 1960s. Honore decided to write a book about the subject called In Praise of Slow. He wanted to let people know about the benefits of slowing down. He does not ask readers to throw out their TVs and become farmers. Instead, he describes the harmful effects of our love of speed in our lives, such as stress and health problems, he also explains the philosophy of the Slow Movement. A growing number of people around the world are choosing to take things easy, to do less, in order to lead a fuller life. There is even an International Day of Slowness on June 21. Cark Honore strongly believes that if people would only slow down, they would enjoy life so muchmore.1.According to the passage, if American parents in the 1960s spent 6 hours with their kids,American parents now spend ___________ hours with their kids.A. 2B. more than 6C. 2.4D. 3.62.If John burned the midnight oil at night, he was ___________.A.at playB. at workC. at leisureD. at rest3.According to the passage, which statement about Carl Honore is NOT true?A.He was a news reporter.B.He read a bedtime story to his son.C.He suffered from stress and health problems.D.He was the writher of In Praise of Slow.BThe history of civil engineering(土木工程) is a very important story in the development ofcivilization. Civil engineers began practicing their profession four thousand years ago. Every great civilization, Egyptians, Minoan, and Romans, for instance, had the civil engineers. What is left of their work can prove that they were intelligent. These engineers of the ancient world built entire cities. They designed systems of pipes which supplied fresh water. They built water pipelines for farmlands as well as bridges of great length. The ruins of the structures tell us much about the work of early engineers.Consider the pyramids of Egypt. They are evidence that some of the earliest engineers had great scientific ability. They are also proof that those engineers could make lasting works of art and design. Although they lived thousands of years ago, the Egyptian engineers used very exact measurements. The base of the largest pyramid, the great pyramid near Gizeh, comes to within inches of being a perfect square. The pyramid is perfectly placed. Each corner points toward the exact directions of north, south, east and west. The inside of the pyramid is filled with complicated passages and tunnels. These lead to different rooms inside the pyramid.The engineers of Egypt did more than designing the pyramids. They also set up methods of moving and shaping the building materials. These were very heavy. They had to be brought from miles away and sometimes lifted several hundred feet. During the work, the engineers commanded thousands of workers. The pyramids remain as evidence of the abilities of the ancient Egyptian engineers.4.Four thousand years ago, ___________.A.people began practicing civil engineering in order to become professional engineersB.civil engineers began putting their knowledge into practiceC.there appeared civil engineers by professionD.civil engineers got more involved in their profession5.The civil engineers of the ancient time were intelligent enough to build entire cities, including___________.A.systems of pipes, bridges and pyramidsB.water supply systems, bridges and structuresC.pipelines systems, bridges and farmlandsD.water supply systems, bridges and pipelines for cultivation6.The base of the Gizeh Pyramid is cited by the author as a perfect example of ___________.A.exact measurement adopted by the designersB.great scientific ability of the builderssting work of art and designD. a very large square7.Which of the following about the pyramids can be learned from the passage?A.Building materials were processed to meet certain requirements for their size and shape.B.Building materials were broken into smaller pieces of all sizes.C.There were no requirements for the size and shape of building materials.D.Egyptian engineers were not concerned with the size and shape of the building materials.CScientists have found that bee venom(毒液) can be used to develop new treatments of rheumatoid arthritis(类风湿性关节炎).They have shown the venom contains molecules (分子) that cause an increase in naturalhormones(荷尔蒙) in the body. The research has raised hopes that the new treatments can help bring relief from the pain of arthritis and even prevent it from developing in the first place. The findings help to explain some stories of how patients who receive a bee sting treatment report improvement in their condition.Dr Suzana Beatriz V erissimo de Mello, a professor who led the research at the University of Sao Paulo, in Brazil, said bee venom caused increased levels of the hormones which defend against the disease.She said, “Bee venom is a complex mixture of materials that are known to cause protective responses in humans, and it has been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis for centuries. Our data shows that bee venom prevents the development of arthritis in the rabbits that are tested in the experiments.”Bee Sting Treatment is often used as a form of alternative medicine in which patients endure hundreds of stings by bees in the hope of getting better. The new research is the first time a scientific explanation has been shown for the effect.Professor Alan Silman, medical director of Arthritis Research UK, warned that it might be some time before any practical applications could be found.He said, “Knowing that when some people suffering arthritis are stung by bees their pain goes away for a short while is one thing; actually turning these early laboratory findings into a practical application is quite another.”8.What would be the best title for the passage?A.New treatments of rheumatoid arthritisB.New findings on the effect of bee venomC.New research about natural hormonesD.New applications of Bee Venom Treatment9.Bee venom can NOT be used to ___________.A.relieve the pain of arthritis for some timeB.get rid of the pain of bee sting immediatelyC.stop arthritis from growing in the first placeD.increase levels of natural hormones in the body10.What does the underlined word “applications” mean in this passage?A. A formal written request for a job, etcB. A piece of softwareC.The use of a rule or piece of knowledge in a particular situationD.Hard work and concentration on what you are doing11.It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.A.the reports of recovery from arthritis are made up by patientsB.the materials of bee venom are made up of natural hormonesC.the effect of bee venom on arthritis was studied centuries agoD.Bee Venom Treatment can be painful for the arthritis patientsDThe job of repairing the carpet was done and it was time for a last cigarette. Eddie began tapping the pockets of his overalls, looking for the new packet of Marlboro he had bought that morning. It was not there.It was as he swung around to look in his toolbox for the cigarettes that Eddie saw the lump (鼓包). Right in the middle of the brand new bright red carpet, there was a lump, a lump the size of a packet of cigarettes.“I’ve done it again!” sai d Eddie angrily. “I’ve left the cigarettes under the carpet!”He had done this once before, and taking up and repairing the carpet had taken him two hours. Eddie was determined that he was not going to spend another two hours in this house. He decided to get rid of the lump in another way. It would mean wasting a good packet of cigarettes, nearly full, but anything was better than taking up the whole carpet and fitting it again. He turned to his toolbox for a large hammer.Eddie didn’t want to damage the c arpet itself, so he took a block of wood and placed it on top of the lump. Then he began to beat the block of wood as hard as he could. He kept beating, hoping Mrs. Vanbrugh wouldn’t hear the noise and come to see what he was doing. It would be difficult t o explain why he was hammering the middle of her beautiful new carpet… The lump was beginning to flatten out.After three or four minutes, the job was finally finished. Eddie picked up his tools, and began to walk out to his car. Mrs. Vanbrugh accompanied him. She seemed a little worried about something.“Young man, while you were working today, you didn’t by any chance see any sig n of Armand, did you? Armand is my bird. I let him out of his cage, you see, this morning, and he’s disappeared. He likes to walk around the house, and he usually just comes back to his cage after an hour or so and gets right in. O nly today he didn’t come back. He’s never done such a thing before, it’s most peculiar…”“No, madam, I haven’t seen him anywhere,” said Eddie, as he reac hed to start the car.And he saw his packet of Marlboro cigarettes on the panel, where he had left it at lunchtime…And he remembered the lump in the carpet…12.What did Eddie want to do when he had finished repairing the carpet?A. To have a cigarette.B. To hammer the carpet flat.C. To put back his tools.D. To start work in the dining room.13.Why didn’t Eddie take out the thing under the carpet?A.It was impossible for him to take up the carpet once it was fitted.B.He didn’t need the cigarettes becau se he had some more in the car.C.It would take too long to take up the carpet and refit it.D.He intended to come back and remove the lump the next day.14.What did Eddie do with the hammer?A. He drove nails into the lump.B. He fixed his toolbox.C. He refitted the carpet.D. He flattened the lump.15.Mrs. Vanbrugh worried that ________.A. her pet was nowhere to be foundB. fitting the carpet would be expensiveC. Eddie would smoke in the houseD. Eddie hadn’t done a proper job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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Some parents are worried (28) ______ their children fail to do well in their studies. They blame either genetic factors, state of poor nutrition, or laziness, but they never take into consideration these non-intelligence factors. Some teachers don’t inquire into such reasons as why students do poorly. They simply give them more courses and exercises, or even punish or laugh at them. After all these, students lose self-confidence. Some give themselves up as hopeless, feeling defeated. (29)______ may take wrong or evil ways because they are sick of learning.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Birds of a feather may flock together, but why they fly together in V formations has never been known for certain.Now, with the help of 14 northern bald ibises (欧洲秃鹰) equipped with __41__ sensors on a 600-mile migration from Austria to Italy, researchers are suggesting that the explanation is one that was long __42__ but never proved: the formations helps the birds conserve energy.Reporting in the __43__ Nature, the scientists write that the ibises __44__ themselves in spots that were aerodynamically optimal (空气动力学上最佳的) –allowing them to take advantage of swirls of upward-moving air __45__ by the wings of the bird ahead. Since the lead bird got no lift advantage, the ibises regularly switched leaders.“We’ve been wondering for years whether flapping birds can save energy by follo wing each other in the right way,” said Geiffrey Spedding, a researcher at the University of Southern California, who was not involved in the s tudy. “This word answers that question, and the answer is yes.”The scientists, led by Jim Usherwood of the Royal Veterinary College in England, said a major __46__ was obtaining the data. The ibises hatched at Zoo Vienna in March xx and __47__ as part of a conservation project aimed at reintroducing the __48__ endangered species to its natural range in Europe.Some of the study’s authors served as human foster parents, taking the young birds on training flights in Salzburg, Austria. The humans rode in a paraplane, a type of lightweight aircraft, and the birds followed. Eventually, the foster parents taught the birds their 600-mile migration route from Salzburg to Orbetello, Italy, by flying alongside them.The birds wore custom-made data loggers that allowed the researchers to track flapping, speed and direction. Weighing less than an ounce, the devices included a memory card and a GPS unit, among other things. It is __49__ to about one foot and refreshes five times per second—the __50__ necessary to track t he birds’ positions in relation to one another.The new study does not say how much energy the ibises saved through the V formation, but small gains could be useful over long migrations, experts say.III. Reading prehensionSection A (15分)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.With children and their development, nothing is more important than imagination to help with the growth of thought processes and creativity. Children that are able to get away from it all and place themselves, __51__, in another world are more likely to be able to think “outside thebox”and produce more creative results when learning and working. For this reason, the importance of imagination cannot be __52__ and should be encouraged when raising children.Parents know the importance of curiosity in children. Curiosity holds an important place in the minds of kids because it helps provide them with the __53__ to explore objects and places that they do not know. Children bee curious from a very young age and begin to wonder about various __54__ in this broad universe, but it is imagination that helps carry the child beyond the boundaries of imagination and into a new world of __55__.It is imagination that begins to develop and __56__ a very vital place in a child’s mental world. With imagination, a child can move mountains, __57__ himself to a distant world, make himself smaller or larger, or disappear from sight. Imagination allows children to form new ideas and explore old ideas, all at once. For children with more to escape in their __58__ realities, such as abuse victims or children with separated parents, imagination plays an even more critical role in development as it __59__ with coping.As parents, it is critical to promote imagination through various __60__ and ideas, __61__ children to fantasy worlds through books and television shows. Discuss these ideas together and explore your children’s ideas. Don’t judge them for the ideas they think of, but rather explore them together and ask questions to promote more thought through imagination. This will help children flesh out and __62__ ideas through their imagination, leading to the building blocks of creative __63__.When children get scared, it is important to show them passion and belonging. This can be acplished through the use of imagination __64__. Any toy or activity that promotes imagination is a tremendous asset for preparing children for the world and allowing them to have the __65__ in which to truly and safely grow up.51.

A. right B. energy C. ability D. spaceSection B (24分)Directions: Read the following three passages. 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)How many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you might see the Moon, some planets, and thousands of sparkling stars.You can see even more with a telescope. You might see stars where before you only saw dark space. You might see that many stars look larger than others. You might see that some stars that look white are really red or blue. With bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky. And you can see those objects in more and more detail.But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see. We won’t see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year.That’s because they’re invisible. They’re the mysterious dead stars called black holes.You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our Sun is a star. Year after year we see it up in the sky, burning brightly, giving us heat and light. The Sun certainly doesn’t seem to be getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years.As a star’s gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gas runs out, the star stops burning and begins to die.As the star cools, the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball called a black dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashing inward until it’s packed together tighter than anything in the universe.Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble. That’s how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? It’s the same force that pulls you down when you jump – the force called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything – even light. The light from a black hole can never e back to your eyes. That’s why you see nothing but blackness.So the next time you stare up at the night sky, remember: there’s more in the sky than meets the eye! Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes – the great mystery of space.66. According to the article, what causes a star to die?A. As it gets hotter and hotter, it explodes.B. It collides with other stars.C. It can only live for about a million years.D. As its gases run out, it cools down.67. Which of the following statements is NOT a fact?A. Black holes are dead stars.B. There is nothing as mysterious as a black hole.C. Black holes are invisible.D. Black holes have gravity.68.Which of the following is NOT a feature of a black dwarf?A. It is usually bigger than a white dwarf.B. It is dark.C. It is smaller in size than a mon star.D. It is cold.69. What happens after a star dies?A. It burns up all of its gases.B. It falls to Earth.C. It bees invisible.D. It bees brighter and easier to see.70. Why can’t you see light when you look at a black hole?A. For most black holes are so far away.B. As the star’s gases burn, it stops giving off heat and light.C. As a star cools, its outer layers pull in toward its center.D. The gravity of a black hole is so strong that it sucks the light inward.(B)Below is a brief analysis of the first name only.

The findings, coupled with a widening range of scientific and historical research could add a fascinating new page to the epic of the Silk Road.The latest and most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of and Egyptian mummy from about 1000 BC, long before regular traffic on the Silk Road and at least one thousand years before silk was previously thought to be used in Egypt. Other research may extend human activity along this route back even further, perhaps a million years to the migration of human ancestors into eastern Asia.The official origin of East-West merce along the road is usually placed in the late 2nd century BC when an agent of the Chinese Emperor Wu-di returned from a dangerous secret mission across the desert into the remote high country of Central Asia. The agent, Zhang Qian, travelled as far as Afghanistan and brought back knowledge of even more distant lands such as Persia, Syria and a place known as Lijion. Historians have called this one of the most important journeys in ancient times. His journey opened the way for what have been thought to be the first indirect contacts between the ancient world’s two superpowers, China and Rome. Chinese silk, first traded to central Asian tribes for war horses and to the Parthians of old Persia in exchange for acrobats and ostrich eggs, was soon finding its way through a network of merchants to the luxury markets in Rome.But the new discoveries show that Chinese silk was apparently present in the West long before the Han emperor started organized trade over the Silk Road. The research could change thinking about the early history of world trade and provide insights into the mystery of just how and when Europe and the Mediterranean lands first became aware of the glorious culture at the other end of Eurasia.74. Th e word “coupled” in the first paragraph could best be replaced by ____________.A. producedB. doubledC. binedD. contributed75. What does the silk thread found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy suggest?A. That trade along the Silk Road began earlier than once thoughtB. Historical research often achieves fascinating resultsC. Egyptians had probably travelled to China to buy silkD. The new light can now be thrown on ancient trading practices76. Until recently most historians believed that trade along the Silk Road ____________.A. extended human migration into eastern AsiaB. primarily benefited the EgyptiansC. began a million years agoD. originated in the 2nd century BC77. Why have Historians always considered Zhang Qian’s mission important?A. Because it discovered the Silk RoadB. Because he helped establish East-West tradeC. Because he brought back knowledge of Rome to the emperorD. Because he travelled as far as AfghanistanSection C (8分)Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.Why does Facebook use blue as its primary branding color? According to The New Yorker, the reason is simple: it’s because Mark Zuckerberg is red-green colorblind. As the Facebook CEO told the magazine, “Blue is the richest color for me—I can see all of blue.”While Facebook’s choice of blue didn’t e after extensive research, it’s most likely not sheer coincidence that two other major social networking sites—Twitter and LinkedIn—also picked blue as their dominant color.Blue is the color of the intellect, the mind, making it the color of munication. And when you think about social media, it’s all about municating. Besides, blue is the world’s favorite color, multiple surveys have shown. Ask people their favorite color, and in most parts of the world roughly half will say blue, a figure three to four times the support for mon second-place finishers like purple or green. The color is also associated with trust, honor and productivity, which constitute how a lot of businesses want to be perceived.Another example is CocaCola. It’s not by accident that its logo and cans have remained red for decades. The mention of the beverage probably had you think of red immediately, the most emotionally intense color associated with boldness, love and life.The visual sense is the strongest developed sense in most human beings. Research has revealed that people make a subconscious judgment about a person, environment, or product within 90 seconds of initial viewing and that between 62 percent and 90 percent of that assessment is based on color alone. It’s only natural that advertisers and marketers have spent vast amount of time and money in attempts to use color for the purpose of influencing consumers to use their services or buy their products(Note: Answer the questions or plete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. Why do some networking sites use “blue” as their dominant color?79. That businessmen are supposed to think carefully about the color they choose is that_________.80. According to the survey about their favorite color, ________________________ support blue.81. What is the main factor when people make a subconscious judgment?第Ⅱ卷(47分)I.

The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years.The whole night, I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not e. Finally, I gathered some courage. I thought, "If I miss this opportunity, surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programe.I reached the school in time. Before my turn came, my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry.I wasn't even able to read the written speech properly. I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading. That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness, Public Speaking.After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. He told me that this happens to everyone.

Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. 18 It included such items as automobiles and new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life-enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction-the feeding, fort, safety, and transportation of the human body-this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. 19On this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, whileon the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their ine increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by munity action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. 20 In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.A. Then a third level appeared.B. Different people have different wants on each level.C. There are several levels of wants in one’s life.D. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appearsE. At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.F.

I was 21 that my father was seriously ill.I had not seen my father since his divorce from my mom, and he had lived alonein a small trailer (拖车式活动房)in California, 300 miles away from me. The real 22 between us seemed much greater. I was in no hurry to change that, but 23 I promised to be there the next day.The whole drive down, 24 flashed through my mind. I remembered my father, the proud Marine (海军陆战队队员). He snatched off the Christmas tree all the decorations the rest of us had put up and rehung them so there was 25 the same spacing between them. But we needn't 26 those military orders. I remembered clearly the battles he had with my mother.I remembered 27 to hear my father say just once, “I love you, Patty”, only to have him 28 at me, “You can't do anything right!”Standing outside his trailer, I tried to 29 my courage to face him one more time. Slowly,I took a few steps inside, my hand and my whole body shaking, too 30 to believe my eyes. Sitting on the sofa, my father looked confused and frustrated. This wasn't the angry and 31 man I had known growing up. This man was 32 and seemed broken. Part of me felt sorry for him, but another part of me was thinking this was exactly the fate he 33 .“God, what am I supposed to do now?” I wondered. But as soon as the words 34 me,a sense of sorrow 35 me, and I knew that I had to take him to my home.It was the 36 part I struggled with. The days of looking after my father turned into weeks, then months. All the pain, the conflicted feelings I'd been 37 over the years came rushing out. One night, I sat there, talking to God, begging him to help me let go of the ugly feelings I had toward my father. When I was finished, I felt an incredible peace, as if every 38 had been lifted from me. 39 had cleaned all that from me and I felt free to start living the joyful life God wanted me to live.It has been eight years since father died.

AA few days ago,I went to school with lots of books,hoping to get a locker (锁柜).Suddenly,it started raining heavily. I hurried to pay for my locker,but I was disappointed when they informed me they only accepted cash. I was $7.00 short,which meant I had to carry the books back home. It would be an exhausting (令人筋疲力尽的) two-hour journey back home with all those books.An elderly gentleman nearby noticed my problem. He asked how much cash I needed. When I told him I was $7 short,he quickly took out the money from his wallet. “You don’t have to pay me back,”he said. I was speechless;I didn’t know whether to take the money or come back with the books the next day. A young student who was working there noticed my hesitation. “He’s really nice,” said the student. “I was starving this morning and he bought breakfast for me. He always helps people in different ways.”The next day,I went to him and thanked him for trusting me and lending me the money. He said he forgot about it and didn’t expect I would give it back. “I’m very happy,”he said,“not because I’m getting my money back,but because this is the right way to go—whatever you get from this world,give it back as much as you possibly can. Spread kindness around the world with the smallest things you can do.”Later,I found out he wasn’t involved with any charity organizations. He has been performing these types of acts for years. Earlier,someone had done something incredibly kind for him and he has been spreading the kindness ever since. He taught me a very important lesson in life—we come to this world with nothing and we will leave with nothing. Whatever we own,it will become somebody else’s and whatever we leave,it will become somebody else’s.1.When the old gentleman offered the money,the writer was________.A.touched B.hesitant C.amazed D.embarrassed2.From Paragraph 3 we learn that________.A.the gentleman worked in the schoolB.the gentleman was kind but forgetfulC.the gentleman refused to take back the moneyD.the gentleman thought it right to give back to society3.Why had the gentleman been doing acts of kindness?A.He wanted to join the charity organizations.B.He managed a lot of other people’s money.C.He had received help from others before.D.He thought money was of little importance.BI am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I ama good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So here's what I wanted to tell you today: get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion (提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love,and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(休闲) but work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives,our days,our hours,and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of living. I learned to live many years ago. Something really,really bad happened to me,something that changed my life. If I had my choice,it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what,today,seems to be the hardest lesson of all.I learned to love the journey,not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and tried to give some of it back because I believed in it,completely and totally. And I tried to do that,in part,by telling others what I had learned.By telling them this:read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness,because if you do,you will live with joy and passion(激情) as it ought to be lived.4.How did the author form her view of life?A.Through social experience.

It is definitely something that you need to consider carefully.By seeing a tent for real you will be able to get a better impression of its size and construction in the traditional shop. However,the downside is that,unless you are experienced,you may miss out some of the details that the manufacturer’s p romotional material makes clear. Cheap tents often look similar to the quality models they are mimicking(模仿),but you can be sure that they use inferior(次的) materials and probably have lower design standards.Shop staff are often campers themselves. That means they usually can give lots of advice. If a shop assistant agrees with your own conclusions,that will be great;if they try to change your decision with a clear and reasonable argument,then that will be worth considering;if they just try to bamboozle(欺骗),or even bully,you then walk away.The Internet is a wonderful tool,and so long as you know how to make the most of search engines and put in a little effort,you really have the perfect answer waiting to be found. That answer will be different for every ca mper as each of us has different needs. Don’t be surprised to see your favorite criticized somewhere,but if you see too much criticism,then you had better start thinking again. No problem. You won’t have spent anything yet,so think of it positively as a large expense saved.Probably the best approach,if you have the time,is to research tents online and make a short list. Then try to inspect those tents at nearby shops. Then you can make a final decision on where to buy your chosen model based purely on total cost.8.The underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 2 means “________”.A.disadvantage B.instruction C.argument D.principle9.It can be concluded from the third paragraph that________.A.shop assistants usually enjoy going campingB.shop assistants usually have practical adviceC.you should consider your idea repeatedlyD.it is impolite for you to trouble shop assistants10.You can make use of the Internet to________.A.meet your different needs B.find the answer for every camperC.help you out of trouble D.find your favorite tent11.Which of the following would be the main idea of this passage?A.It is good to buy your tent in the traditional shop.B.You’d better buy a tent with the help of the Internet.C.Better buy a tent combining seeing tents for real in shops and researching them online. D.Going camping is really beneficial to your health.DA huge cloud of dust rose and an overpass disappeared. This was the scene in Zhuzhou,Hunan Province on May 17.Nine people were killed and 16 injured.Things were similar last year in the Sichuan earthquake. Thousands of people were buried in the ruins and lost their lives. What if we could have warned them?People are always racking their brains to find a way of preventing buildings’ collapse. Better materials and technology help,but they are not a solution.Just like humans,a building has its own life cycle from “birth” to “death”.If we know when a building is going to collapse,we can repair it in advance or get out of it before it falls.Now,scientists at the University of Illinois have developed a material that turns red before it breaks. The invention could be used in things like climbing ropes or bridge supports.The research was led by Nancy Sottos,a professor at the university’s Beckman Ins titute,and Douglas Davis,a graduate research assistant.The secret behind the color-changing material is a type of molecule (分子).A molecule is a group of atoms held together by chemical bonds. Imagine you and your friends standing in a circle,holding hands. Each person stands for one atom,your hands represent the bonds,and the entire circle represents a molecule. If one person lets go of his or her hands,the molecule changes color.The research team put the molecule into a soft material. When the researchers stretched the material,it turned bright red for a few seconds before it broke into two pieces. When they repeatedly stretched and relaxed the material,without breaking it,it only turned a little red.The major problem is that light can get rid of the red color. When the team shone bright light on the molecule,the broken bond was fixed,and the color disappeared.If the bright light keeps the red color from appearing,the material’s warning system will be useless. Scientists still have a lot of work to do before the color-changing molecules can be used outside the lab.12.What does the passage mainly introduce?A.The collapse of an overpass in Zhuzhou,Hunan Province.B.The Sichuan earthquakeC.A material that turns red before it breaks.D.A way of preventing building from collapsing.13.The underlined words “racking their brains” in the third paragraph mean ________. A.suffering a lot B.collecting beyond imaginationC.losing a lot D.thinking very hard14.Which of the following is a WRONG statement?A.Thousands of people died from the collapse of buildings in the Sichuan earthquake because they hadn’t been warned.B.There is no building that will never collapse.C.A new material has been applied to buildings to warn people of collapse.D.A color-changing material can turn red before it breaks.15.What can we infer from the passage?A.The color-changing molecules are certain to be used outside the lab.B.There will be no collapse with the help of the color-changing material.C.There is a long way to go before the material can be applied.D.The problem caused by bright light will be solved by scientists.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答案。
