Suddenly, there came a loud a pplause (掌声) and a young man was seen swimming at a surprising spe ed to the other side of the 37 . When he landed on the b ank and came over, all the other people there 38 him wit h a great sense of admiration (钦佩) for his courage. However, the man shouted very 39 , “Who pushed me into the river just now?”Maybe the man, after thinking about the whole 40 and th e happy result of his act, will eventually be 41 to the one who pushed him into the river. In life it is fairly common for dis advantages to turn into advantages and misfortunes (不幸) into fortunes! But many of us are unable to realize the true 42 of our “rivals (竞争对手)” to success.Generally speaking, many people would see the one who “pushes him into the river” as an enemy. However, the one who “pushes him into the river” gives you a feeling of urgency (紧迫感) and stimulates (激发) your ambition and desire to fight for success! You try your best to 43 your difficulties and move to the next stage in l ife!If a man does not have rivals, he will fail to know the value of hardship and he is sure to be satisfied with the present and wi ll not desire to improve his 44 . He would 45 in the f ace of difficulties and become lazy.Therefore, our rivals are not our enemies. Instead, they are o ur good 46 ! In our lives, we need some rivals to “pushes us into the river,” leading us to fight ahead in difficulties and c ompetitions.Thanks to our rivals, we can know about ourselves better and show our 47 to its best.

In the past, Chinese people considered one’s Chinese calligr aphy (书法) to be very important. Unfortunately, all over the country, C hinese people are forgetting 50 to write their own langua ge. 51 can’t write their Chinese words correctly 52 t he help of computers. This is because 53 they type in th e basic spelling or strokes (笔画) of a word, the correct character will be shown in a list on t he screen. Then what they should do is to choose the correct one. Any bad result?People can recognize characters but they can’t remember ho w to write them. 54 ，there’s still hope for the young generation. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture.

Fo r each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information give n in the passage.ANot long ago, few little girls imagined they could grow up to be astronauts. In 1983, that changed. Sally Ride made history b y becoming the first American woman to travel into outer spac e.Ride became interested in space when she was a kid. “If you asked me when I was 12 whether I wanted to be an astronaut , I’m sure I would have said YES,” she told TFK in a 2010 inte rview. “But I didn’t even think about that as a possible career.”After studying physics in college and post-graduate school (研究生院), Ride got her chance. She was accepted into NASA’s astr onaut training program in 1978, and then chosen to be the firs t American female in space. In 1983, she went into space aboard the Challenger shuttle. “There is no amusement park ride on earth that even comes close. It can’t be more wonderful,” s he said.Ride returned to space on the Challenger a second time in 19 84. In the two missions, she spent a total of 343 hours in orbit.After that, she remained involved with the space program and also worked to share her passion for space with kids. She wr ote five science books about space for children, and started h er own science education company.Ride knew that she held a unique place in history. “I realized how important it was for a woman to break that barrier and op en the door for other women to be able to do the same excitin g things that men had been doing,” she said.Since Ride’s historic trip, more than 40 other American wome n have traveled to space. They all had to thank Ride for openi ng the door to the final frontier.Ride died at the age of 61 in 2012. “Sally was a national hero and a powerful role model,” said President Barack Obama ina statement. (312 words)56. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Sally was the first person to travel to space in .B. Sally wanted to be an astronaut even when she was a pupi l.C. Sally was interested in space, so she chose astronautics a s her major.D. Sally graduated from college and first traveled to space in 1983.57. From the fifth paragraph, we know that Sally __________.A. was good at doing businessB. wanted to be rich by doing b usinessC. became a famous writer at lastD. had a lasting interest in s pace58. What does the underlined phrase “the final frontier” refer t o?A. PhysicsB. Outer spaceC. EducationD. M odeling59. What can we infer from the text?A. Sally inspired many American women to travel into space.B. Sally made great contributions to American economic deve lopment.C. Women astronauts used to be looked down upon in Americ an history.D. The government did not allow women to become astronauts in the past.60. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. Sally Ride’s first space tripB. Sally Ride, a succes sful business womanC. A national hero flying in spaceD. Sally Ride, a real e ducator for kidsBLong bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginni ng, a middle and an end with commercials (商业广告) thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials ar e unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. E very couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus wi ndow. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.”“Drink Good Wet Root Beer.”“Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is eq ual to turning the television set off, are you spared the unendi ng cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!”The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat excitin g, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some thing s have changed--new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it o ut the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless (鲁莽的) or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense (悬念) story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of cour se, the excitement dies down.Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. F ood always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got t o be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is partly like the beginning. You know it wil l soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and exciteme nt in that. The seat has become harder. By now you’ve sat wit h your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your ha nds on the armrests (扶手) or even with your hands crossed behind your head. The e nd comes just at no more ways to sit. (322 words)61. According to the passage, what do the passengers usuall y see when they are on a long bus trip?A. Buses on the road.B. Films on television.C. Advertisements on the billboards.D. Gas stations.62. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To give the aut hor’s opinion about long bus trips.B. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.C. To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.D. To describe the billboards along the road.63. The author of this passage would probably favor ________ ___.A. bus drivers who aren’t recklessB. driving aloneC. a television set on the busD. no billboards along t he road64. The author feels long bus rides are like TV shows because ___________.A. the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are funB. they both have a beginning, a middle and an end, with com mercials in betweenC. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they a re on busesD. both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.65. The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like t he beginning because both are _______.A. excitingB. comfortableC. tiringD. boringCFrom bankers to factory staff, employees in the West face a c old prospect of losing their jobs as a global economic recessio n (衰退) starts to bite. But for those in the East, the pain is more lik ely to come through a pay cut.Human resource experts say cultural differences explain w hy Asian companies try harder to preserve jobs in difficult tim es, which will prevent unemployment and may help Asian eco nomies survive at a time of slowing exports. The East Asian a ttitude may also make it easier for companies to recover quick ly from the economic downturn since they will not need to rehi re or train new staff, but build up a more loyal and devoted gr oup.“In the Confucian mindset (儒家思想), the right thing to do is to share the burden, which is the s ense of collective responsibility (集体负责制). While in the West, it’s more about individual survival,” sai d Michael Benoliel, professor of Singapore Management Univ ersity (SMU).In contrast, local Western companies from General Motors to Goldman Sachs plan to lay off workers by the thousands, but at the Asian units of Western multinationals (跨国公司) or western units of Asian groups, job cuts will probably be less severe.Japan’s jobless rate was 4 percent in September, up from 3.8 percent in January, while Hong Kong’s was flat at 3.4 percent.But unemployment is expected to have jumped to 8 percent l ast month from below 5 percent in January.Experts say that while there are noticeable differences in labo r practices in East and West, the gap will narrow as more firm s become more multinational and competition forces firms to adopt the best practices of rivals from abroad. (295 words) 66. The underlined word “prospect” in the first paragraph most probably means _________.A. futureB. sceneC. weatherD. place67. Compared with job cuts, pay cuts can bring the following b enefits EXCEPT that _________.A. it’s helpful to the economy recoveryB. it can form a team working harder and more loyallyC. it will keep the experienced and skilled workersD. it costs the company less money to survive68. According to Michael Benoliel, the Confucian mindset focu ses on _________.A. human rightsB. personal profitsC. sharing responsibilityD. individual survival69. The passage mainly tells us _________.A. the difficulties that all the companies around the world are meeting with nowadaysB. the different labor solutions of Asian and Western in glob al economic recessionC. the ways to cut down the cost of the companies in econo mic downturnD. the cultural differences between Eastern and Western wo rld at present70. If you are a famous Chinese boss who runs a successful mold factory (模具制造厂) in Shanghai, what will you more probably do to live throug h the global economic recession?A. Lay off half of the skilled staff.B. Close up the fact ory.C. Keep all the staff but lower their salary.D. Raise the s alary of skilled workers.Part Ⅳ Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagra m by using the information from the passage. Write NO MOR E THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Studying abroad can certainly be an interesting experience but is that alone a good enough reason for spending years far a way from home? To make the experience truly worthwhile, on e has to find out why he/she makes the decision to study abro ad. This may be a wish to perfect language skills in a foreign l anguage environment or to get better trained for your career d evelopment.You must also consider the costs, not only of living and studyi ng abroad but of applying as well, since most universities now charge application fees for international students. Scholarship is another important consideration. Some scholar ships are provided by governments, others by schools and col leges. This information, again, can be found on the Internet. If you find a scholarship that is suitable for you, follow the appli cation procedure carefully; the earlier you apply, the better yo ur chance of getting it.If after considering these aspects you are sure that you want t o apply to study abroad, your next step is to choose the right program of studies. Research your choices and select carefull y. You must do your homework well. You can find a lot of infor mation online on schools. Most universities have websites an d you can also email and ask them to send you more details. Different universities emphasize different strengths. Don’t just think about the university’s reputation; look for the most suitable for your goals.Next, you must deal with a large pile of paperwork. This involv es having your application form carefully filled in, preparing yo ur school records and getting reference letters from your teac hers. Reading the instructions and requirements of the univer sities carefully is of great importance. Sadly, universities will ki ck out many good applicants in the first round simply if they d on’t follow the application procedure properly. (294 words)Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and require d words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.A small piece of fish each day may keep heart doctors away. That’s the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths fro m heart diseases were more than 50 percent lower among th ose who consumed at least an ounce of salt-water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.The Dutch research, along with two other human researches, gives strong scientific support to the long held belief that eatin g fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.Heart disease robs the largest number of Americans of their li ves in the , with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from hea rt attacks each year. But previous research has shown that th e level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume mor e fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deat hs, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who cons ume about 14 ounces (one ounce is equal to 28.35 grams) of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consu mption averages more than 3 ounces.For 20 years, the Dutch study has followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom eat no fish. At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish t han fatty fish.During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart di sease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularl y ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other fact ors such as age, high blood pressure or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels. (275 words)81.

I went to the spot where I used to take my kids-when I still had kids. Now they had 36 and were leaving.I was sitting alone in my car when I saw a man in his seventies, whose problem appeared bigger than mine. He stood near the edge of the road, 37 a kite spindle(风筝线锭) in his hands. Apparently, lost in thought, he stared skyward. I 38 my neck to see how successful he had been in 39 the clouds. Following his string with my eyes, I almost lost 40 0f the other end. Finally, the kite rested on what seemed to be the highest branch of the 41 tree in the park. Obviously, that was his grandson's kite! The kite was a replica (复制品) of a beautiful bald eagle, and its wings spread 42 0pen. Grandpa had only one 43 to his problem: cut the string."You wanted it to fly as high as it could. Bill. didn't you?" "Yes, Grandpa, 44 wanted to keep it forever. " "There just comes a time when the only thing you can do is to cut the string and let it go. Perhaps by doing that, when it flies very high like real eagles do, it will come back to us. " Grandpa said.I 45 how the old man cut the string to let fly the kite. As the two walked away, looked to the 46 . There I saw my answer, too. Today I have to cut the final strings that kept my two boys 47 my reach. Though I want to keep them forever, I have taught them to fly like an eagle. Maybe by doing this, when it's time to soar like real eagles do. one day they would come back to me.36. A. grown up B. turned up C. picked up D. taken up37.

So discover your inner strength and find out what you can do!Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (30 points)Someday a stranger will read your email without your permission or scan the Website you've visited, or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits. In fact, it's likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girl friend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never be intended to be seen the 21st century replacement of being caught naked. Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it's important to revealyourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter?For many Americans, the answer apparently is "no"．When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it.A survey found a strong bad feeling about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me"．But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZPass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will give away personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50centoff coupon (优惠券)．But privacy does matter-at least sometimes. It's like health: When you have it, you don't notice it. Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it.56.What does the author mean by saying "the 21st century replacement of being caughtnaked"? ( )A. People's personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.B. In the 21st century people try every means to look into others' secrets.C. People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.D. Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.57. What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends? ( )A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.C. There should be a distance even between friends.D. There should be fewer arguments between friends.58．Why does the author say "we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret"? ( )A．Modern society has finally developed into an open society.B．People leave traces around when using modern technology.C．There are always people who are curious about others' affairs.D．Many search engines benefit from giving away people's identities.59．What do most Americans do as for privacy protection?A．They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.B．They use various loyalty cards for business transactions (交易)．C．They rely more and more on electronic devices.D．They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.60．According to the passage, privacy is like health because ________.A. people will make every effort to keep itB. its importance is rarely understoodC. it is something that can easily be lostD. people don't treasure it until they lose itPart Ⅳ Writing (45 points)SECTION B (10 marks) Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit.As a young man, Al was a skilled artist, a potter. He had a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son developed a severe stomachache. Thinking it was only somecommon intestinal（肠的）disorder, neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously. But the disease was actually acute appendicitis (阑尾炎), and the boy died suddenly that night.Knowing the death could have been prevented if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, Al's emotional health declined under the enormous burden of his guilt. To make matters worse his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could handle, and he became an alcoholic.As the alcoholism progressed, Al began to lose everything he possessed — his home, his land, his art objects, everything. Eventually Al died alone in a San Francisco motel room.When I heard of Al's death, I thought, “What a complete failure!” “What a totally wasted life”.As time went by, I began to re-evaluate my earlier harsh judgment. You see, I knew Al's now adult son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring, most loving men I have ever known. I watched Ernie with his children and saw the free flow of love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.I hadn't heard Ernie talk much about his father. One day I worked up my courage to ask him. "I'm really puzzled by something," I said. "I know your father was basically the only one to raise you. What on earth did he do so that you became such a special person?"Ernie sat quietly and reflected for a few moments. Then he said, "From my earliest memories as a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, 'I love you, son.'"Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge Al as a failure. He had not left any material possessions behind, but he had been a kind loving father, and he left behind one of the finest, most giving man I have ever known.81. Why was Al in guilt?

His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I try to read the Bhagavat Geeta just like you but I don't understand it．and I forgot what I did understand as soon as I closed the book. What 37 does reading do?"The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied. "Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water. "The boy did as he was told, but all the water 38 before he got back to the house.The grandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to move a little more 39 next time. " Then he sent the boy back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was 40 before he returned home.41 , he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead．The old man said, "I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You're just not trying hard enough. " 42 he went out of the door to watch the boy try again.The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when he 43 his grandfather the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said. "See Grandpa, it's useless!""So you think it is useless?" The old man said, " Look at the basket. "The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was 44 It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now 45 ,inside and out."Son, that's what 46 when you read the Bhagavat Geeta.

I had seen television movie Kung Fu 48 decided right away that peace of mind and a shaved head were 49 I had always wanted. My parents supported my interest, buying all sorts of books about Kung Fu and Chinese art for me. 50 even agreed I went to a Kung Fu school, 51 they did not let me shave my head. I practiced several hours a day, trying to overcome pain 52 walking to school barefoot in the snow. I enjoyed all of this so 53 that my interest continued through high school, and spread to wanting to learn Chinese painting and then 54 language itself.I went to Yale and majored in Chinese literature. By the time I finished college,I was fluent in Mandarin (普通话). Strangely, I had no desire to go to China; and55 , I have never liked traveling much. I did need a job, though, so I applied to and was accepted by the Yale-China association to teach English in Changsha from August 1982 to July 1984.PART Ⅲ READI NG COMPREHENTION (30 marks)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.(A)I have always known my kids use digital communications equipment a lot. But my cellphone bill last month really grabbed my attention. My son had come up to nearly 2,000 incoming text messages, and had sent nearly as many. Of course, he was out of school for the summer and communicating more with friends from a distance.Nevertheless, he found time to keep a summer job and complete a college course in between all that typing with thumb.I was even more surprised to learn that my son is normal. "Teenagers with cellphones each send and receive 2,272 text messages a month on average, " Nielsen Mobile said.Some experts regret that all that keyboard jabber(键盘闲聊) is making our kids stupid, unable to read non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, gestures, posture and other silent signals of mood and attitude. Unlike phones, text messaging doesn't even allow transmission of tone of voice or pauses, says Mark Bauerlein, author called The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future.Beyond that, though, I'm not sure I see as much harm as critics of this trend. I' ve posted before on how I initially tried to control my kids' texting. But over time, I have seen my son suffer no apparent ill effects, and he gains a big benefit, continuing contact with others.I don't think texting make kids stupid. It may make them annoying, when they try to text and talk to you at the same time. And it may make them distracted. when buzzing text message interrupt efforts to noodle out a math problem or finish reading for school.But I don't see texting harming teens' ability to communicate. My son is as accustomed to nonverbal cues as any older members of our family. I have found him more engaged and easier to communicate with from a great distance. Because he is constantly available by means of text message and responds with faithfulness and speed.56. What is Mark Bauerlein’s attitude to texting?A. It is convenient for teens to communicate with others.B. It is likely to cause trouble in understanding each other.C. It is convenient for teens to text and call at the same time.D. It will cause damage to the development of teens' intelligence.57. What would be the best title for this passage?A. For Teens, Texting Instead of TalkingB. For Parents, Caring Much for Their KidsC.

Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida, Nevada and California. They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road. The high-tech company Google has a number of self-driving cars, which had covered 480,000 kilometers by August. Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020.In September, California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state. “ Today we're looking at science fi ction becoming tomorrow's reality-the driverless car. ”The technology for these cars includes cameras, radar and motion sensors. The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U. S. government agency DARPA. Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races.Cars have become much more fuel-efficient, and new electronic features are making Hondas safer, said Angie Nucci of Honda America. “ A camera on the passenger-side mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes. ” Other safety features include warning systems on the front and the sides of the cars. The systems help drivers, but don't replace them. Curator Leslie Kendall of the Petersen Automotive Museum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer.“By taking out drivers, you also remove most risks of an accident,” Kendall said. He said consumers, however, may be unwilling to lose control. “It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable, but it will have to prove itself first. ”Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable. He said this will happen as the technology is improved.61. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. Driverless vehicles are now legal in the whole USA.B. Volvo will be the first to sell driverless cars.C. Google’s self-dr iving cars have covered a long distance.D. Driverless cars are pointing us a faraway future.62. We learn that Governor of California Jerry Brown_________.A. helped design self-driving cars.B. improved the self-driving car systems.C. considers self-driving cars science fiction.D. supports self-driving cars on roads.63. What is the role of the systems mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. They can take the place of drivers now.B. They can help people drive more safely.C. They can make cars run without fuel.D. They can help cars run much faster.64. According to Richard Mason, what is the biggest challenge for driverless cars?A. They are now too expensive for consumers.B. Their technical problems remain to be solved.C. They are not allowed to run on the road.D. They are more dangerous for people on the street.65. What's the best title of the passage?A. The benefits of the self-driving cars.B. The biggest challenge of the self-driving cars.C. Self-driving cars-science fiction future is near.D. Safer or more dangerous-self-driving cars.(C)Hungry For a WinA victor is, by definition, someone who wins a struggle or contest. However, that doesn’t mean he or she will live a proud and happy life ever after, as Katniss Everdeen is about to discover in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.Catching Fire, out in Chinese theaters on Nov 21, is set in a futuristic society called Panem. Every year its government holds a televised fight to the death. Two teenagers from each of the 12 districts of Panem are chosen to compete.In the new film, last year’s victors Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and her partner Peeta are back home after winning the 74th Hunger Games. Katniss just wants to live a normal life. However, that never seems to happen. She has nightmares, which remind her that she is a killer.Her worst nightmare comes true when the annual Hunger Games arrive again. The teenager finds herself back in the competition along with Peeta. Since Katniss brings hope to Panem thro ugh her courage, President Snow plans to use this year’s Games to kill off Katniss and Peeta and in turn dampen the fires of rebellion.“This is the next step of Katniss’ heroism and the next part of her journey to finding out who she is really going to b e,” Lawrence told Reuters.Fast-paced and full of action, Catching Fire looks to outdo the success thatthe first film had in 2012. With a 97 percent rating on the movie review website Rotten Tomatoes, it is enjoying positive reviews. Critics have praised it for being faithful to the book written by American author Suzanne Collins. The Hollywood Reporter said that Catching Fire outshines the first movie a lot.Jennifer Lawrence, who won a best actress Oscar this year for her 2012 movieSilver Linings Playbook, has helped Catching Fire find success, Forbes pointed out.The 23-year-old actress does well playing a young lady who hates what she was forcedto do to stay alive yet is determined not to gi ve up.“Lawrence’s down-to-earth personality in real life won the hearts of the public. So given a wildly popular first film that blew everyone away, a rising fanbase and a lead performer beloved by the mainstream press and viewers, the sequel(续集) was always going to be big,” Forbes noted.66. The underlined word “dampen” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “_____”.A. holdB. lightC. reduceD. support67. Which of the following is TRUE about the film’s story according to the article?A. Every year 12 teenagers in total are chose n to join in the televised fight.B. Despite having won the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss doesn’t feel much joy.C. Katniss and Peeta are chosen once again to make the TV show more appealing.D. Jennifer Lawrence won a best actress Oscar this year for the first Hunger Gamesmovie.68. What are some reasons why Catching Fire will probably be successful?a. The previous film was successful.b. It is true to the original book’s story.c. Most of the reviews of the movie are positive.d. It has many famous stars in addition to Jennifer Lawrence.A. abcB. abdC. acdD. bcd69. In which column of a newspaper can readers find this article?A. Beautiful MindB. Campus TrendsC. Culture DiscoveryD. Society70. After reading the passage, we can infer that _______.A. President Snow thinks highly of Katniss and Peeta’s victoryB. Katniss decides to fight in the 75th Hunger Games because she loves itC. Critics hold a negative attitude to the first movie of Hunger GamesD. The personality of the leading actress contributes to the success of CatchingFirePART Ⅳ WRITING (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blankets by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Cheating on exams is popular in colleges and statistics show that it has risen dramatically during the past score years. Students don’t feel ashamed to cheat on exams. Most of them don’t care about cheating on exams.Cheating on exams takes shape in various ways. Some students scribbled notes on small pieces of paper on which they had prepared for the exam, some took out their textbooks or reference books to copy, and still some adopted mobile phones as a way to cheat on exams. For instance, at the University of Nevada, students photographed test questions with their cell phone cameras, then sent them to classmates outside the exam room and got the answers back in text message. However, downloading other people’s writing on the Internet for plagiarism(剽窃) was found the easiest way. Mr. Dapremont said technology had made cheating easier, but added that pressure to succeed sometimes clouded everything and made students do things that they shouldn’t do. Students today feel more pressure to do well in order to graduate from school and land jobs.Whatever the reasons for cheating are, college officials say we must stop it. First, people will not be interested in studying any more with cheating. Second, they think studying isn’t meaningful. Third, others may be influenced negatively by people cheating on exams. Thus, we must ban cheating on exams. We should reduce opportunity of cheating on exams.Most Americans still believe that honesty is an important part of American character. For that reason, there are numerous watchdog committees at all levels of society. Although signs of dishonesty in school, business, and government seem much more numerous in recent years than in the past, could it be that we are getting better at uncovering such dishonesty?Many educators feel that as students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, they are less likely to cheat.Title: Cheating on examsI. 71. __________◇being popular in colleges◇arising dramatically◇students 72. __________◇students not caring about itII.

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.We lived in a very quiet neighborhood. One evening I heard a loud crash in the street. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenager daughter Holly practice her driving.At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I enjoyed having it, but I said, “Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won’t last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won’t last.”After hearing the loud noise, the whole family ra n outside. My son shouted, “Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck.”My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice in my heart say, “Here is a chance to show H olly what you really love. She’ll never forget it.”The accident had occurred in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van (搬运车). In her inexperience, she had confused the brakes and the gas pedal. Holly was unhurt physically, but when I reached her, she was crying and saying, “Oh, Dad, I’m sorry. I know how much you love this truck.” I held her in my arms as she cried.Later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck.I told her the story. Her eyes moistened(湿润) and she said, “That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad’s car and ran into a log that had fallen across the road. I ruined the car. When I got home my Dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me.” Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of that night. It was a deep wound on her soul.I remember how sad Holly was the night and how I comforted her. One day, whenHolly thinks back on her life, I want her to know that I love her a thousand timesmore than any piece of property. I repaired the van, but the dent (凹痕) in my truckis still there today. Every day it reminds me of what really matters in my life.81. Why did the father permit his daughter to drive his truck?(No more than 5 words) (2 marks)82.

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.(A)LATEST BOOKSBelow you’ll find some latest published books that have been added to the library’s collection in the past 45 days.She Is Not InvisibleSergwick’s “She Is Not Invisible” is partly a thriller, partly a philosophical reflection on coincidence, but mostly, it’s the story of Laureth: a blind British teenager w hose father, a famous author, has gone missing in America. She sets out to find him, taking her seven-year-old brother as a guide. She is not sure this is strictly legal, so she pretends not to be blind as they make their way through Heathrow airport and the streets of New York City.Six Bad Poets“Six Bad Poets” is a farce-in-verse(闹剧式诗句) by Christopher Reid, following the brave acts and misfortunes of a group of poets –three men and three women, whose destinies(命运) are more closely connected than they themselves can know, in their attempts to deal with the risks of London literary society.Britain Against NapoleonThis book describes how the British state successfully organized itself to overcome Napoleon. For more than twenty years after 1793, the French army was supreme(最优的) in continental Europe, and the British population lived in fear of French invasion(人侵). How did Britain survive and win a generation-long war against a country which at its peak commanded many times Britain’s own resources and manpower?In “Britain Against Napoleon”, Roger K night looks beyond the familiar bravery of the army and navy to the politicians and civil servants, and examines how they made it possible to continue the war.The Beau MondeHannah Greig’s “The Beau Monde” tells the story of the world’s first fashion-obsessed(痴迷于时尚的) society in eighteenth-century London and takes us on a tour from court and Parliament (约会) to Georgian London’s parks, pleasure grounds and private homes, meeting a rich and colorful cast of contemporary characters along the way. It reveals the secrets of how membership of the new elite(精英) was won, maintained and sometimes lost. This book also shows how being fashionable was the key to power in a new social order.56. According to the passage, Laureth______A. is a famous writerB. is a blind young girlC. has been lost in New YorkD. has raised her little brother by herself57. Who writes a book about six poets?A. Christopher Reid.B. Hannah Greig.C. Roger Knight.D. Sedgwick.58. The book “Britain Against Napoleon” focuses on_______A. how the British defeated NapoleonB. how Napoleon occupied the UKC. the contribution of politiciansD. the influence of war59. If you are interested in the history of fashion, you should read______.A. “She Is Not Invisible”B. “Six Bad Poets”C “Britain Against Napoleon” D. “The Beau Monde”60. The main purpose of passage is to______.A. compare the booksB. inform readers of new booksC. advocate diverse readingD. persuade people to read more(B)When my friend put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the first reaction they gave was, “You are cutting the child off the world.” Did the child really get cut off or did the ch ild socialize better?The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers(同龄人). However, in my friend’s opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is restricted to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child’s life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compares with my kids. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the traditional schooling system and feel regularschooling the safest bet.61. What is the author’s attitude towards his friend’s idea of homeschooling?A. Surprised.B. Interested.C. Confident.D. Negative.62. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to _________.A. express his views on homeschooling.B. explain what homeschooling is.C. share his ways of teaching his children.D. promote homeschooling.63. What do we know about homeschooling children?A. They don’t interact with their peers often.B. They have more spare time to play.C. They are restricted to certain activities.D. They can’t gain enough knowledge.64. According to the author what is the biggest advantage of homeschooling children?A. They will become braver.B. They can be more popular.C. They can be better at socializing.D. They can study better.65. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By following the order of importance.B. By following the order of timeC. By making comparison.D. By presenting facts.(C)Feeling lonely? New research suggests you might want to find out that answer. Not only is loneliness an unpleasant condition, it can also harm the body’s immune system.The new study shows that people who are lonely experience more reactivation(重新激活) of hidden viruses in their systems than the well-connected ones. Lonely people also are more likely than others to produce inflammatory compounds(炎性化合物) in response to stress, which may cause heart disease and other chronic disorders. “Both, in different ways, indicate that the immune system is out of whack,” said study researcher Lisa Jaremka.Jaremka and her colleagues studied 200 female breast cancer survivors and 134 overweight, middle-aged adults with no major health problems.In the first study, the researchers analyzed the blood of the breast cancer survivors for antibodies against viruses. These common viruses can remain inactive and symptomless inside the body. Higher antibody levels indicate higher levels of activated viruses. The results showed that the lonelier the participant, the higher the levels of virus antibodies in the blood. Jaremka said, “The immune sy stem is unable at that time, for whatever reason, in this case loneliness perhaps, to keep that virus under control.In the second study, the researchers measured cytokines(炎性因子) in 144 of the breast cancer survivors as well as the healthy thought overweight middle-aged adults. The participants gave a blood sample and then experienced the stress of having to give a speech and do mentalmath in front of people in white lab coats.After the stressful speech, the lonelier the person is, the higher the levels of cytokine interleuking-6 are. This cytokine is important for healing in the short term, because it promotes inflammation. However, when cytokines react too readily, inflammation can be harmful. Chronic inflammation has been linked to many diseases.People who are lonely also tend to react more strongly to negative events in their lives. If lonely people experience daily life as more stressful, it may cause chronic stress, which in turn disrupts the immune system.The study indicates that those who feel close to friends and family can know that their health is likely getting benefits from those relationships. People who feel socially connected are experiencing positive outcomes.66. The Underlined phrases “is out of whack” in Paragraph 2 can be re placed by_____.A. becomes healthyB. goes wrongC. starts to respondD. lose connection67. What do the high levels of antibodies indicate?A. The immune system is failing to control the viruses.B. The immune system has managed to kill the viruses.C. The person has been badly ill.D. The immune system has been damaged.68. Why should frequent reaction of cytokines be avoided?A. Because it would make people more stressed.B. Because it can destroy the immune system completely.C. Because it may cause harmful chronic inflammation.D. Because it would make breast cancer survivors overweight.69. According to the passage, lonely people are more likely to _____.A. have had more negative experiencesB. become more sensitive to negative events.C. feel more pressure from chronic diseases.D. react strongly to positive daily life.70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Loneliness has its advantages and disadvantages.B. Lonely people tend to have negative thoughts.C. Loneliness does harm to health both mentally and physically.D. People whose immune system is weak tend to get lonely.PART ⅣWRITING (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blankets by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Most people with problems see their problem as limitations to their success. The moment youbegin to see your problems as stumbling blocks (绊脚石), you start to have more problems. But the way you see your problems determines how they affect you. If you see your problems as the walls that cannot be broken down, then problems will affect you more than they are supposed to. But if you see your problems as opportunities, then you will be able to solve them and get the message that the problems are passing across to you.The greatest men always remain calm when they face problems. When they face problems, they remain positive. Staying positive is one of the keys to solving your problems. When used well it could help get you out of difficulty. When you remain positive, you put yourself in the right position to solve your problems effectively.Problems act as a good teacher and give you something new to learn, and with every lesson comes a solution. You must learn from the problem itself and look for the way forward instead of complaining, worrying and giving excuses. Every problem is just like an examination. Once you solve the problem, you get to the next level.Not everybody is fit to share your problems with you, and not everybody is fit to know your problems. But you should have someone you can speak to and someone who is always willing to listen to you. You must be able to be accountable to this person and the person must be someone that is better and know much more than you. This person would be able to give you meaningful advice, monitor your progress and also support you.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Nong Luhuan had a wild dream when he was little: He wanted to become a cartoonist and publish books of his own. Now, the 22-year-old art design major at Sichuan Fine Art Institute has achieved his dream. His micro blog cartoon has more than 260,000 followers and he will publish his first book soon.Nong’s micro blog cartoon first drew wide attention in late 2012. H e draws stories of real-life people striving to (努力) achieve their life goals. Though each story consists of only several pictures, it takes Nong a lot of time and effort to finish them. “ I want my work to be recognizable.I want people to think of me as a cartoonist who makes cheerful works,” Nong says. Therefore he digs deep into each person’s story. Before drawing, he spends a whole day researching the person’s background and another three days on interviews. “Micro blog cartoons are interesting not bec ause of the drawings. We attract viewers with the content,” Nong says. “Besides, viewers only spend one or two minutes on each micro blog post. If my work can cause reflection, then it is meaningful.”On the way to success, Nong had his struggles. He even thought about giving up drawing in 2011. But when he read the micro blog cartoons of Chen Anni, a well-known female cartoonist of Nong’s age, he found new courage. “She is not even a fine art student and she is pursuing (追求) her dream of drawing cartoons. Why should I give up?” Nong says. After that, Nong worked even harder, gradually becoming popular and receiving positive feedback.Many fans have sent Nong private messages, telling him that his work has encouraged them to pursue their life goals and that if they succeed they will share their stories with him. “I’m glad that I have conveyed a positive attitude through my work. My readers are motivated through it and are themselves becoming a source of motivation for others,” he says.81.What does Nong draw in his micro blog cartoons?

The Ganga’s waters are considered to be so pure and sacred 48 , when you bathe in them, it cleanses(洗涤) you of all 49 sins (罪孽). But sadly, today, the Ganges is dying. Poorly planned rapid urbanization and industrialization have turned the Ganga __50__ the most polluted river in the world. The reality is that today, bathing in the Ganga, does not cleanse you. 51 makes you sick. The Ganga problem is not52 a problem of immense magnitude. It is also a problem of immense complexity.Other countries too increasingly face challenges that are complex, multi-dimensional, and crucial to improving 53 lives of the poor: for instance, creating jobs in the townships of South-Africa 54 providing access to water in Yemen. Those are problems that have no specific technical fixes—building roads and bridges alone won’t do.The challenge before us is 55 we can join forces and solve transformational problems of the magnitude, complexity and impact of the polluted Ganga?PART ⅢREADI NG COMPREHENTION (30 marks)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.(A)“Grandma, Grandma, tell us a story!” Four darling children sat by my feet, looking up at me expectantly.Suddenly, we were interrupted clapping. “Terrific,” the direct or said, stepping up the stage from the aisle(过道). “Except, could you kids face the audience a bit more?”The kids shifted to face the empty seats, which would be filled in a few days for the church play. “Perfect,” the director said. “Now, Grandma, read to your grandchildren.” A pang of sadness hit me. If only I could read to my real grandchild!I had a granddaughter, but I'd never met her. Sixteen years earlier my son was involved in a relationship that ended badly. But out of it came a blessing: a baby girl named Lena. I hoped to bea grandmother to her -- but shortly after the birth, the mother moved without any address left. Over the years, I asked around town to try and find my son's ex-wife, but it seemed that she didn't want to be found.I'd just joined this new church a week earlier, and was at once offered the part of Grandma in the play. At least now I could pretend to be a grandma. The rehearsals went well, and finally the day of the show arrived. The performance was great. “You all looked so natu ral up there,” one of my friends said.Afterward, we went to the church basement for refreshments(茶点). I walked over to one of the girls in the play, Rehearsals had been such a whirlwind(一片忙乱) that we never really got to talk. “How's my granddaughter?” I j oked.“Fine!” she answered. Just then, someone else walked up and asked the girl her name.I wasn't sure I heard the girl's answer correctly. But it made me ask her another question. “What's your mother's name?”She told me, I was still in shock. “And what's your father's name?” I asked. She told me. It was my son.She'd only started going to that church a week before I did. Since that day of the play, we've stayed close. Not long ago, she even made me a great grandma.56.

They report that nature and humans share equal blame for this loss.In 1963 the fresh water lake covered twenty-five-thousand-square kilometers. Now the lake is only about five percent of that size. It measures only about one-thousand-three-hundred square kilometers in the dry season.Four nations surround Lake Chad. People in Niger, Nigeria, Chad, and Cameroon use it for water, fish and plant life.Michael Coe and Jonathan Foley are water experts at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. They reported about Lake Chad in the Journal of Geophysical Research. They say the area has suffered from a lack of heavy rain for more than thirty years. This has forced people to build systems to carry water to dry land. These irrigation systems further decrease the lake.Mister Coe says Lake Chad will be only a small body of water in the future. He says people still can get water from the lake to drink and for crops. But he says the lake will no longer provide a healthy environment for fish and plant life.The researchers used a computer to study what caused the water loss. Their computer study estimated the climate and amount of water in the area. The estimate started with the early 1960s. Then the researchers compared the estimates with the area's recorded climate and water supply for the same period.The computer study showed results similar to the recorded ones for the first twenty years. But there was a big change in the 1980s. At that time, the lake got smaller much faster than the computer research had estimated.The researchers say major irrigation systems were built in the 1980s. The systems took water from two rivers that flow into Lake Chad. The Chari and Logone rivers carry most of the water that enters the lake. The study showed the increased irrigation reduced the flow in the two rivers. Climate changes also were responsible for the reduction. Today the flow of the two rivers has been reduced by almost seventy-five percent.Scientists say the problem is expected to worsen in the coming years as the population and demand for water continue to increase.61.

Doubtful.(C)Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy .Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier，have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants(被告). But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men; effort andability were thought to account for their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine(有男子气概的)than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the “masculine” qualities required.This is true even in politics. “When the only c lue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently,”says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.66. The underlined word “liability”(in Para.1)most probably means “________”．A. misfortuneB. instabilityC. disadvantageD. burden67. In traditionally female jobs，attractiveness________.A. reinforces (加强) the feminine qualities requiredB. makes women look more honest and capableC. is of primary importance to womenD. often enables women to succeed quickly68. Bowman's experiment reveals that when it comes to politics，attractiveness ___.A. turns out to be an obstacle to menB. affects men and women alikeC. has as little effect on men as on womenD. is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women69. It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often ____.A. practicalB. prejudicedC. old-fashionedD. positive70. The author writes this passage to________.A. demand equal rights for womenB. emphasize the importance of appearanceC. discuss the negative aspects of being attractiveD. give advice to job-seekers who are attractivePART Ⅳ WRITING (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blankets by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.It’s easy to see how the sawfish got its name. These frightful creatures can grow to be more than 6 meters long. Their bodies are flat and winged, like underwater airplanes. And their noses are shaped like chainsaws.Sawfish are food hunters of the sea. When a sawfish is hungry, it waves its sharp-toothed snout （口鼻部）through a group of fish. Then, it lifts its nose and uses its mouth to draw the injured victims.Hardy（适应力强的）population of sawfish thrived in warm waters along coastlines around the world for thousands of years. Over the past 200 years, however, human actions have severely endangered sawfish. Threats include fishing nets that trap the huge animals, often by mistake.Some people collect sawfish’s snouts as prizes: One snout recently sold for nearly $ 1,600 online. In some Asian cultures, the toothy snouts are used in ceremonies to drive evil and disease away. And sawfish are also delicious. A growing demand in Asia for the fish’s fins for a pricey soup has contributed to the fish’s loves. Compared with other fish, sawfish give birth late in life and at slow rates, which makes it hard for them to recover from overfishing.New efforts now aim to restore sawfish population. Beginning next month, an international agreement will provide protection for all seven of the world’s sawfish species. Scientists are hoping that it’s not too late to save the sawfish.Until 1998, “this fish had never been formally studied in the United States,” says Tonya Wiley of the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Fla. “We didn’t know such basic things as where they live, what habitat they use, how often they breed, how many young they have —even what age sawfish are when they begin breeding.”Through historical studies and field research, scientists have become aware of how much the fish’s numbers have decreased. Today, there may be 90 percent fewer sawfish than there used to be. Wiley estimates that only 3,000 to 6,000 sawfish remain in US waters.SawfishDescriptionsSize71. ______________ 72. ______________Body: Flat and wingedNose:Like a chainsaw Steps of hunting for foodAttacking fish with 73. _______________.Drawing 74.________________ with its mouth. 75.____________for Sawfish’s disappearance76. _______________ Sawfish’s snout relates business.Its 77. _____________ and slowly which makes it hard to recover fromoverfishing.Efforts78. _____________Measure To restore sawfish population79. __________ all seven of the world’s sawfish speciesTo day’s situationOnly 80.______________ sawfish left3,000 to 6,000 remain in US watersSection B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the informationgiven in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Marley is a businessman. His business is freezing people. He works for a company inCalifornia called Trans Time. Trans Time freezes people after they die. Why does TransTime freeze people? Doctors today can cure many diseases, but they cannot cure all diseases.People still get sick and die. Maybe in the future doctors will have medicine for all diseases. Somepeople think so. They want Trans Time to freeze their bodies after they die. Maybe 100 or 200, or300 years later, Trans Time doctors will bring the people back to life. The doctors will cure theirdiseases, and the people will be alive and healthy again.People often ask the scientists at the Trans Time, “How will Trans Time bring dead peopleback to life?” T hey say, “We can freeze a healthy animal and bring it back to life. We think thatsomeday it will be possible with human.” When they say “someday”, they mean years from now— maybe 100 or 200 years. How can Trans Time keep people frozen for 200 years?After a person dies, workers at Trans Time cool the body with ice and chemicals. When the body is very cold, workers put the body into a capsule (密封舱). They fill the capsule with liquid nitrogen (液氮). The temperature in it is 196 degrees centigrade below zero. Every two weeks workers add more liquid nitrogen. The liquid nitrogen keeps the bodies frozen.Trans Time charges $21,000 to freeze a body and $59,000 to keep a body frozen. That’s $80,000 all together. It is a lot of money. But some people think that $80,000 is a fair price. It’s a fair price for a chance to live again, isn’t it?81.
