A,B,C andD.Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneI talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting their stories published innewspapers.I've been married for years,but until six months a90,I could be a typical absent—mindedhusband.Often l was just nodding when l was supposed t0.When my wife asked,“Did you even hear what I just said?”1 would defensively say,“0f course I did!”In January,I began to lose my voice.Doctors told me I needed surgery,or my throatwould be permanently damaged.Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of myrecovery.Two hours after the surgery,my eyes filled with tears as my two-year-old son lookedpuzzled because l wouldn’t answer his questions.1 wanted to talk but couldn’t.Luckily,I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books.That would come in handy the next coupleof weeks.When I got home,I noticed a“side effect”:as my wife talked to me to keep up myspirits,1 wasn’t just hearing her;1 was listening to her.Over the next few weeks,I didn’t want to miss a word she said,I began to hear sweetness in her voice.It had never left.I'd juststopped noticin9.I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previously dismissed as“things I just don’t get as a guy”.I also realized my son wasn’t just talking nonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say.Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home,Ibegan hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs.Before my surgery,I'd have spent those walks onmy phone.After several weeks,1 was fully recovered.Conversation in our house is better now,notbecause I'm talking more.I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that Ilike what I hear.36.According to the passage,the author is most likely a .A.driver B.teacher C.doctor D.journalist37.What does the wife mean by askin9“Did you even hear what I just said?”in Paragraph l ?A.Yon should listen to me.B.You didn’t want to talk with me.C.You should tell me what I said just now.D.You didn’t have to nod while you were listenin9.38.,What is true of the author after the surgery?A.He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB.He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.C.He was unable to communicate with his son.D.He was unwilling to talk to his wife.39.What did the author realize after the surgery?A.His wife was a talkative woman.B.His house was full of pleasant talks.C.His son didn’t like talkin9.D.His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.Passage TwoCoconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons.It is one of the largest edible seedsproduced by any plant.Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consistsof both“meat’’and“water”inside.The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar,as it is used extensively for cooking a.nd flavorings;the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid.Portuguese(葡萄牙的)explorers gave the nut its name in the l 5 th century.referring to itas COC0,meanin9“ghost”in their language.The outside appearance of coconuts remindedthem of a ghost’s face,and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses.It is used to make various cooking oils for fast.foodrestaurants around the world to make diet materials.The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hotclimates,providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree.This water is also used bymanufacturers of various sports drinks.Even the shell itself has many uses,including animalfood and fertilizer.Yet the coconut is also useful in many ways that have nothing to do with food.Coconut oilis used for cosmetics(化妆品),medicines,and so on.Dried coconut shells are used in manycountries as a tool for shining wood floors.The shells are also used for shirt buttons,and arecommonly found on Hawaiian clothin9.They are even used for musical instruments and birdhouses.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit.The coconut tree,which produces the nut,also produces many useful things.It’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as“the tree of life”.40.What does the underlined word“edible’in Paragraph l mean?A.Visible.B.Collectible.C.Available D.Eatable.4 1.The coconut got its name because of .A.its hard shell B.its white colorC.its ghostlike appearance D.its round

useful plants.B.Coconut oil is rare and expensive.C.Coconut trunks are houses for birds.D.Coconut fluid can become fertilizer.Passage ThreeMost students choose“Homestay”accommodation when they study abroad:others selectHomestay even if they are not on a study visit.Statistics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay?And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family,or“host family”as we say.There are three ways ofdoing it:·choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location:·have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualifiedteacher;·select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do thetourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will alwaystry to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements.Placement(安置)organizations think about location,interests,language level,eating requirements,allergies(过敏)and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs,good quality Homestay accommodation can berelatively economical--and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city centre.Even if you stay further out,you can expect yourjourney into the centre not to exceed 30 minutes·Not onlY does Homestay accommodation represent value for money,it also glVes you an excelient opportunity to practise English with your host family.This is a very imPortant extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible.But if you plan to leam English,whynot have vour English classes in your host family.9 There’s no better way to learn English thanthis—the Derfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the Cultural experience !44.Homestay is an ideal choice for students wh0 .A.plan to visit relatires B.want to stay at homeC.plan to study overseas D.warlt to learn statistics ·45.Who will consider students’requirements before their Homestay starts?A.The English teacher.B.The placement orgamzatlon.C.The host family.D.The language school.46.Which of the foilowing is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?A.Nationalitv of the host family.B.Eating habits of the host family.C.Students’language level.D.Students’specific needs·47.What can be inferred from the passage?A.The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.B.The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.C.The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.D.The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.Passage FourUsing 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think,saving you money whilecreating a heahhier,more comfortable living space for you and your family.Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill,your comfort and the environment.Here aresome handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient.Lower the heatIf vour home has adjustable central heating,lowering the room temperature eVen sllghtlycan make a difference.You may not feel it,but your wallet will.It is even more adVisable to control temperatures at different times of the day·Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it,head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline.The sunlightwill help eliminate bacteria and dust.While clothes dryers get the job done faster,they also use up energy.By hanging your clothes out you’11 be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load.Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunli ght,s natural warmth. To stay c00l indoors on hot summer days,install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun.Put your desk near the window,then you don’t need a lamp in thedaytime.Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot—water pipes are properly wrapped.In an average home,heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill.Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you? 、Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances,select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs.Don’t buy bigger ones just because you can.48.What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?A.Having a healthier living environment.B.Improving your work efficiency.C.Keeping old habits unchanged.D.Enlarging your living space.49.Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?A.It may help to build a greenhouse.B.It helps remove bacteria in clothes.C.It uses half the ell ergy that clothes dryers d0.D.It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.50.What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of naturallight? ,A.Blinds.B.Curtains.C.Windows.D.Shades.5 1.Besides energy-efficiency,what else should be considered when replacing appliances?A.Replacing time.B.Reasonable price.C.Good quality.D.Proper size.Passage FiveAs we recently discovered,there is a Stepmother’s Day,though it is not on any officialholiday calendar.S0,it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads,t00.Right?Well,it depends on what you read.A Google search brought up posts that say,forexample,“It’s on father’s day--father’s day is for fathers,step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special.”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says,“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June.”Unfortunately,as of the publishing of this article,only 30 people have“liked”the page.Considering that studies show 3.3 million men,or l l.1%of U.S.fathers,live with at least one stepchild,that’s only a drop in the ocean.It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’Day.President Jimmy Cartersigned it into law in 1978.Law! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives,they are often seen as the most loving family members.But what about thestepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders,the ones who have toendure the hurtful“You’re not my dad!”or“You’re not my mom!”And yet they never giveup.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren.These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve“official”days ofhonor.Perhaps if we are loud enough,President Obama,who had a stepfather himself,will signinto law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day.Are you with me?Follow me and get your voice heard.How cool it would be if we couldmake this happen!5 2.What does the underlined word“that’’in Paragraph l refer to?A.Father figures who are equally honored in the U.S.B.30 people who support Stepfather’s Day on the Facebook page.C.3.3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.D.1 1.1%of U.S.fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U.S.53.What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in l978 7A.The National Grandparents’Day.B.The National Grandchildren’s Day.C.The National Stepparents’Day.D.The National Stepchildren’s Day.54.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word“inherent”in paragraph 2 9.A.Unbelievable.B.Tough.C.Lastin9.D.Inevitable.55.What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents.9A.Because they love their role as stepparents.B.Because they are often treated as heroes in the family.C.Because they deserve respect and honor as family members.D.Because they are often seen as the most loving family members.V.Daily Conversation(15 points)Directions:Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below andcomplete the following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.Where are you going today B.That’s not our busC.I'll catch up on my reading to kill time D.There isn’t a cloud in the skyE.Did you catch the news today F.How long have you been waitingG.Have a nice day H.Don’t forget your book(At a bus stop)Mary:We couldn’t ask for a better day,could we?John:I know.56.I love this time of the year.Mary:This bus seems to be running late,doesn’t it? 57 ?John:I've been here for at least ten minutes.Mary:Ah,here comes a bus!John:Oh good.Wait ! 58 .That bus goes downtown.Mary:Well,it looks like we’11 be waiting a little longer.5 9 ,I guess.John:Oh,I'm afraid you have no time for that.Here’S our bus.Mary:Oh great!I thought it would never come.John:60 !Mary:You t00.Ⅵ.Writing(25 points)Directions:For this part,you are supposed to write an essay in English in l 00—1 20 words based on the following information.Remember to write it neatly.61.你(Li Yuan)在英语学习中遇到了一些困难,希望得到帮助。

S. fathers, live with at least one stepchild, that's only a drop in the ocean.It's interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents'Day. President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in 1978. Law! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children's lives, they are often seen as the most loving family members. But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders, the ones who have to endure the hurtful"You're not my dad!"or"You're not my mom!"And yet they never give up. They do their best to overcome the <u>inherent</u> challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren. These unsung (未被颂扬的) family heroes deserve "official "days of honor. Perhaps if we are loud enough, President Obama,who had a stepfather himself, will sign into law National Stepmother's Day and National Stepfather's Day.Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard. How cool it would be if we could make this happen!21 What does the underlined word" that" in Paragraph 1 refer to?(A)11. 1% of U. S. fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U. S.(B)3. 3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.(C)Father figures who are equally honored in the U. S.(D)30 people who support Stepfather's Day on the Facebook page.22 What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978?(A)The National Stepchildren's Day.(B)The National Stepparents'Day.(C)The National Grandparents'Day.(D)The National Grandchildren's Day.23 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word" inherent" in Paragraph 2? (A)Inevitable.(B)Lasting.(C)Unbelievable.(D)Tough.24 What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents?(A)Because they are often seen as the most loving family members.(B)Because they deserve respect and honor as family members.(C)Because they love their role as stepparents.(D)Because they are often treated as heroes in the family.24 Most students choose " Homestay" accommodation when they study abroad: others select Home-stay even if they are not on a study visit. Statistics show that it's a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family, or "host family" as we say. There are three ways of doing it:choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location:have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher:select not to have classes at all when you visit—a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements. Placement (安置 ) organizations think about location, interests, language level, eating requirements, allergies (过敏) and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs, good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical—and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city centre. Even if you stay further out, you can expect your journey into the centre not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money, it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practise English with your host family. This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible. But if you plan to learn English, why not have your English classes in your host family? There's no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !25 Homestay is an ideal choice for students who______.(A)want to learn statistics(B)plan to study overseas(C)plan to visit relatives(D)want to stay at home26 Who will consider students' requirements before their Homestay starts?(A)The language school.(B)The host family.(C)The English teacher.(D)The placement organization.27 Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?(A)Students' specific needs.(B)Students' language level.(C)Nationality of the host family.(D)Eating habits of the host family.28 What can be inferred from the passage?(A)The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.(B)The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.(C)The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.(D)The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.28 Using less energy around the home is easier than you might think, saving your money while creating a healthier, more comfortable living space for you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill, your comfort and theenvironment. Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient. Lower the heatIf your home has adjustable central heating, lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference. You may not feel it, but your wallet will. It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day. Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it, head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust. While clothes dryers get the job done faster, they also use up energy. By hanging your clothes out you'll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load. Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight's natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days, install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun. Put your desk near the window, then you don't need a lamp in the daytime. Wrap (裹) your pipesBe sure your hot-water pipes are properly wrapped. In an average home, heating water accounts for more than one-quarter of the energy bill. Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you? Choose the right size for appliances (家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances, select those that are both energy-efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs. Don't buy bigger ones just because you can.29 What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?(A)Enlarging your living space.(B)Keeping old habits unchanged.(C)Having a healthier living environment.(D)Improving your work efficiency.30 Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?(A)It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.(B)It uses half the energy that clothes dryers do.(C)It may help to build a greenhouse.(D)It helps remove bacteria in clothes.31 What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of natural light?(A)Shades.(B)Windows.(C)Blinds.(D)Curtains.32 Besides energy-efficiency, what else should be considered when replacing appliances? (A)Proper size.(B)Good quality.(C)Replacing time.(D)Reasonable price.32 I talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting their stories published in news-papers. I've been married for years, but until six months ago, I couldbe a typical absent-minded husband. Often I was just nodding when I was supposed to. When my wife asked, <u>" Did you even hear what I just said?"</u>I would defensively say, " Of course I did!"In January, I began to lose my voice. Doctors told me I needed surgery, or my throat would be permanently damaged. Total silence would be required for the first few weeksof my recovery.Two hours after the surgery, my eyes filled with tears as my two—year—old son looked puzzled because I wouldn't answer his questions. I wanted to talk but couldn't. Luckily, I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books. That would come in handy the next couple of weeks.When I got home, I noriced a"side effect" : as my wife talked to me to keep up my spirits, I wasn't just hearing her: I was listening to her. Over the next few weeks, I didn't want to miss a word she said. I began to hear sweetness in her voice. It had never left. I'd just stopped noticing. I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previouslydismissed as" things I just don't get as a guy". I also realized my son wasn't just talking nonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say. Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home, I began hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs. Before my surgery, I'd have spent those walks on my phone.After several weeks, I was fully recovered. Conversation in our house is better now, not because I'm talking more. I'm just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.33 According to the passage, the author is most likely a______.(A)journalist(B)doctor(C)driver(D)teacher34 What does the wife mean by asking" Did you even hear what I just said?" in Paragraph 1 ?(A)You didn't have to nod while you were listening.(B)You should tell me what I said iust now.(C)You should listen to me.(D)You didn't want to talk with me.35 What is true of the author after the surgery?(A)He was unwilling to talk to his wife.(B)He was unable to communicate with his son.(C)He was required to keep silent for the first few months.(D)He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.36 What did the author realize after the surgery?(A)His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.(B)His son didn't like talking.(C)His wife was a talkative woman.(D)His house was full of pleasant talks.36 Coconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons. It is one of the largest<u>edible</u> seeds produced by any plant. Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both" meat" and" water" inside. The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar, as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings: the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid.Portuguese (葡萄牙的) explorers gave the nut its name in the 15th century, referring to it as coco , meaning" ghost" in their language. The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost's face, and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses. It is used to make various cooking oils for fast-food restaurants around the world to make diet materials. The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates, providing a cool and refreshing beverage fight off the tree. This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks. Even the shell itself has many uses, including animal food and fertilizer.Yet the coconut is also useful in many ways that have nothing to do with food. Coconut oil is used for cosmetics(化妆品) , medicines, and so on. Dried coconut shells are used in many countries as a tool for shining wood floors. The shells are also used for shirt buttons, and are commonly found on Hawaiian clothing. They are even used for musical instruments and bird houses.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit. The coconut tree, which produces the nut, also produces many useful things. It's no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as"the tree of life".37 What does the underlined word "edible "in Paragraph 1 mean?(A)Eatable.(B)Available.(C)Visible.(D)Collectible.38 The coconut got its name because of______. (A)its round shape(B)its ghostlike appearance(C)its hard shell(D)its white color39 What is the passage mainly about?(A)Types of coconut seeds.(B)The discovery of coconut.(C)The history of coconut.(D)Uses of coconut.40 What can be learned from the passage? (A)Coconut fluid can become fertilizer. (B)Coconut trunks are houses for birds. (C)Coconut trees are useful plants.(D)Coconut oil is rare and expensive.四、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages.

Well,it depends on what you read.A Google search brought up posts that say,for example,“It’s on father’sday--father’s day is for fathers,step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special.”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says,“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June.”Unfortunately,as of the publishing of this article,only 30 people have “liked” the page.Considering that studies show 3.3 million men,or 11.1%of U.S.fathers,live with at least one stepchild,that’s only a drop in the ocean.It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’ Day.President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in 1978.Law! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives,they are often seen as the most loving family members.But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders,the ones who have to endure the hurtful “You’re not my dad!” or “You’re not my mom!” A nd yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren.These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official” days ofhonor.Perhaps if we are loud enough,President Obama,who had a stepfather himself,will sign into law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day.Are you with me?

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the center of the letter.Passage OneHere's a familiar story. You're sitting at the dinner table with a furry, four-legged friend scratching at your feet. When you look down, those cute eyes are almost impossible to resist.What is it about a dog's gaze that makes it so charming? A new study by Japanese scientist Miho Nagasawa seems to have found the answer, and it has to do with something called the cuddle(爱抚)chemical.The cuddle chemical has another, more scientific name: oxytocin. Oxytocin is a substance in the blood that encourages bonding. Levels of oxytocin increase, for example, when a mother feeds her newborn baby. According to Nagasawa's study, the same is true when we look deeply into the eyes of a dog.The results of this study can tell us a lot about the history of the bond between humans and dogs. It all started somewhere tens of thousands of years ago. Scientists believe that wolves used to follow humans who were hunting large animals. The wolves would eat the food left behind by the humans.Humans realized that they could use the wolves to help with the hunt, and eventually both species began to work together toward survival.Over time, the wolves that interacted with the humans began to change. They became more loyal to their human partners. The wolves and humans started to depend on each other and bond with each other. These changes are what caused some of the wolves to turn into what we now know as dogs, a new specie^ evolved to better survive in their environment.This process depended a great deal on the bond humans formed with them. And according to Nagasawa's study, this bond was formed with the help of oxytocin, the cuddle chemical.11. What do we know about oxytocin?A. It regulates blood flow.B. It promotes bonding.C. It is in the human gene.D. It is good for health.12. When we look deeply into a dog's eyes, the levels of our oxytocin ____.A. reduce over timeB. go either up or downC. are on the riseD. remain unchanged13. At the beginning wolves followed humans to ____.A. eat the food left by humansB. guard against large animalsC. take humans for foodD. hunt large animals together14. Over time some wolves turned into dogs ____.A. due to their loyaltyB. due to the changing environmentC. for better survivalD. for better cooperation15. What does Nagasawa9s study aim to do?A. Explore the role of human-wolf partnership.B. Show the characteristics of the cuddle chemical.C. Explain the bond between humans and dogs.D. Understand the evolution of species.Passage TwoRed 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 the scriptwriter Richard Curtis. He wrote 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 famine in Ethiopia* 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 established that many people consider it to be an unofficial. For example, many schools have non-uniform days.The slogan for the last RND was ‘Do Something Funny for Money' and the money that was collected helped to fund projects in the following areas, treating malaria (疟疾), education, and mental health. The BBC Red Nose Day program raised £74.3 million! Money-raising events take place all over the country and many schools participate. People also donate money by post, in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.In the evening of Red Nose Day a telethon takes place on the BBC TV channels. It shows on and on a selection of the events of the day, as well as lots of comic sketches and reports of how the money raised will be spent. People also upload videos of local charity events on YouTube and Facebook.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's all for a good cause.16. Red Nose Day is ____.A. a traditional holiday in the UKB. a famous event in BritainC. the helping center for poor peopleD. the popular name of a charity17.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. Choose the best answer and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centerPassage OneMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between being a writer and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. "You've got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer."The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, 1 had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found for me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediatelybought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn't got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who died wondering. What if I would keep putting my dream to test (even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure). This is the shadow-land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.51、 The passage is meant to ______.A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB. encourage young people to pursue a writing careerC. show young people it is unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealthD. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer52、 What can be concluded from the passage? ______A.

He hadn't seen a change for the better.C. He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year.D.

Think about hiking or biking for a part of your trip, too. You'll not only save money, but you'll also see a lot more of the country. Some students may want to travel by car. Be sure to think about going with other students—many colleges have "ride boards" that list when and where other students plan to travel. Many radio stations provide the same sort of service—they announce who's driving where, when, how many riders they will take and what the expenses will be.There are many inexpensive, older hotels near bus or train stations. Check your travel guide for names of the best. Many parts of the country also have youth hostels where young people can stay for only a few dollars a night. You don't have to eat in restaurants all the time, but we don't recommend a diet of candy and cola, either. You can usually get a healthy, cheap breakfast in a restaurant.

Less than a dozen of her poems were published during her lifetime. In spite of this, she is regarded today as a great poet, perhaps the greatest poet the United States has produced. Along with the Greek poet Sappho, she may be one of the two greatest women poets who have ever lived.Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830, in a small Massachusetts town called Amherst. Hers was an old family; her ancestors had come to the United States 200 years before. Herparents were not really rich, but they were certainly not poor. She had an older brother, Austin, and a younger sister, Lavinia. Her parents seem to have been rather withdrawn people, and the members of the family spent a good deal of time by themselves. She doesn't seem to have liked her mother very much. She spoke once of never really having a mother. She was educated at the local Amherst Academy and Mount Holyoke Women's Seminary. Although she was sometimes described as pretty, she never married. In all outward respects, her life appeared to be rather boring.The time and place in which she lived was not a good one for a woman artist to succeed. Women are expected to be obedient to men and to remain in their place at home. Rather than waste her life in the meaningless round of social events that were open to women, she decided at some point to retreat from the world in order to write her poetry. From then on, she spent a great deal of time in her bedroom writing. In later years when she was standing in front of her bedroom door, she looked at her niece and said, "It's just a turn-and freedom, Mary!" It was when she closed the door of her room and turned thekey that locked the door that the most important and creative hours of her life were spent, the hours when she wrote her poetry. She was regarded as a recluse by many of her neighbors, that is, as a person who spent a good deal of time by herself.59、According to the author, who is the greatest woman poet in America? ______A. Both Sappho and DickinsonB. Emily DickinsonC. SapphoD. Not mentioned60、 Women in Emily Dickinson's time ______.A. are regarded as reclusesB. are expected to be obedient to menC. spend most of their time in social eventD. are expected to retreat from the world61、 Emily Dickinson's ancestors came to the United States in around ______.A. 1630B. 1830C. 1730D. 193062、 Which of the following statement is NOT true? ______A. It is quite likely that Emily Dickinson didn't like her mother.B. Emily Dickinson regarded being locked in her room as "freedom".C. She is well-known in her lifetime and is still regarded as a great poet now.D. Her parents seem to have been rather withdrawn people, and they spent a good deal of time with their family members.Section BDirections: Match the Chinese sentences in the left column with the English in the right column, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.A. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best things; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.B. Though we had put forward a proposal to reduce cost, the board members did never appear to take it seriously.C.

陕西省2015年英语专升本考试真题全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇12015年,陕西省英语专升本考试真题Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Children who are raised in homes where parents talk to them in an adult-like manner learn more words, excel at math and are better socially adjusted.These findings come from a study, recently published in Psychological Science, which showed that the number of words a child hears over the course of the day is strongly related to their development in language and other academic skills. The studyfound that children who heard a lot of talk were a full six months ahead of their low-talk peers in terms of language development. They also did better in math and social skills.1. The findings of the study suggest that _______.A. adults should talk to children in a more child-like mannerB. the amount of words a child hears is not related to their developmentC. children do better academically and socially when they hear more wordsD. children do better academically and socially when they hear fewer words2. According to the passage, children who heard more words were how far ahead of their low-talk peers in terms of language development?A. 3 monthsB. 6 monthsC. One yearD. Two years3. In what way did the children who heard more words outperform their low-talk peers?A. They were better at mathB. They were more socially adjustedC. They were more developed in language skillsD. All of the above4. The findings were based on a study published in _______.A. Science DailyB. Psychological ScienceC. Child DevelopmentD. Social Development5. The study suggests that parents should _______.A. speak to their children in an adult-like mannerB. let their children watch TV all dayC. limit the amount of words their children hearD. only speak to their children when necessaryPassage 2Read the following passage and answer the questions below.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.There is little doubt that the way your child's school is organized is at least as important as the way it teaches. Organizing schools along extended-day, extended-year or learning-intense models can yield substantial benefits for children. But even these schedules don't guarantee success. Much depends on the specifics of implementation.The devil is in the details. With extended learning time, for example, we can't just wait around for good things to happen. Careful thinking and actively seeking solutions are needed to ensure that more time for learning equals better outcomes.A new study by the National Center on Time & Learning (NCTL) points out some keys to success. For instance, schools must define what they want to achieve with more time for academics, and they need to measure their academic progress to determine whether the extra time is working. And they must identify effective strategies to get the greatest bang for the buck out of the added time.6. According to the passage, what is as important as the way schools teach?A. The way schools are fundedB. The organization of schoolsC. The caliber of the teachersD. The design of the school building7. Extended-day, extended-year and learning-intense models can yield substantial benefits for children, but _______.A. they guarantee success for all childrenB. the devil is in the detailsC. they are the only factors that influence successD. they are not necessary for success8. What do schools need to do in order to ensure that more time for learning equals better outcomes?A. Define their purpose and measure progressB. Increase fundingC. Hire more teachersD. Enroll more students9. According to the National Center on Time & Learning study, what are some keys to success in implementing extended learning time?A. Determining academic progress and measuring the outcomeB. Providing more time for recessC. Allowing students to have more say in their curriculumD. Hosting more school events10.
