We may get on well with a number of people, but we usually make friends with only a very few of them.People use the word ‘friend’ freely. Friends may have known each other (22 ) childhood or they may have recently met. In fact, people may have different kinds of friends such as school friends, work friends, or sports friends. A person may choose ( 23 ) friends for dif ferent activities. If you play with someone on the playground, the person is your ( 24 ) . If you often play chess with a friend, the person is your chess partner.One may have many good friends and only one ( 25 ) friend. ‘Best friends’ or ‘Close friends’ are usually two people who have known each other for a ( 26 ) time. A close friend is someone who is able to ( 27 ) experiences, joys and sorrows with you. This is a person you can rely on when you are in need, and this is the person to ( 28 ) you are willing to lend a helpful hand.Friendship is one of life’s greatest treasures. Yet, it would be too much to expect a friend to do ( 29 ) for you. As a French writer said,‘Don’t walk in front of me - I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me - I may not ( 30 )’ . Just walk beside me - and be my friend.( ) 21. A. understand B. choose C. like D. want( ) 22. A. before B. since C. after D. between( ) 23. A . different B. same C. difference D. close( ) 24.

We did everything together : piano lessons, movies, swimming, and horseback riding.When I was 13, my family moved away. Mary and I kept in touch throughletters and we saw each other on special occasions (场合)- like my wedding and Mary’s. Soon wewere busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back stamped “Address Unkown”.Over the years, I thought of Mary often. I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sorrowwhen my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could fill.One day I was reading the newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked a lot like Mary and whose last name was Wagman- Mary’smarried name. “There must be thousands of Wagman. ” I thought, but I wrote to her anyway.She called as soon as sh e got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!” she saidexcitedly. “Mary Allen Wagman ” is my mother. Minutes later I hearda voice that recognized instantly, (很快)even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives.Now the empty place in my hea rt is filled. And there’s one thing that Mary and I know for sure: We don’t lose each other again. 31. I want to find Mary ______________ .A. to share my storiesB. to share my sorrowC. to fill the empty in my heartD. all of the above32. The writer’s married name is __________ .A. TobinB. WagmanC. AllenD. we don’t know33. Which of the following is TRUE?A. We never see each other again when I moved away when I was 13B. I find my friend in the newspaperC. It is 40 years since we last saw each otherD. My friend’s husband is Mr. Tobin34. The best title of the passage is ________A. My Good FriendB. Friend Like the brotherC. An Important FriendD. Friends Again- Forever ( B )Throughout history, people have been interested in knowing howlanguage first began, but they haven’t known exactly where or how this happened. However, we do know a lot about languages, the language of today and the languages of earlier times. There are probably about threethousand languages in the world today. Chinese is the language with the most speakers. English, Russian and Spanish are also spoken by many millions of people. On the other hand, some languages in the world have fewer than one hundred speakers.There are several important families of languages in the world. For example, most of the languages of Europe are in one large family called Indo-Europeans. (印欧语系)The original languages of this family wasspoken about 4,500 years ago. Many of the present-day languages of Europe and India are modern forms of the language of 4,500 years ago. Languages are always changing. The English of today is very differentfrom the English of 500 years ago. In time, some even die out completely. About 1,000 years ago, English was a little known relative of German spoken on one of the orders of Europe.If a language has a large number of speakers and if it is very old, there may be differences in the ways it is spoken in different areas.That is, the language may have several dialects. Chinese is a good example of dialect difference. Chinese had been spoken for thousands of years by many millions of speakers. The differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of Chinacan not understand from other parts.35. The first paragraph mainly tells us that _________ A. most people in the world speak Chinese B. there are hundredsof languages in today’s worldC. man has much knowledge about languageD. some people know several languages36. Most European and Indian languages _________A. will soon die out completelyB. were once a relative of EnglishC. are no longer spokenD. come from the same family37. _____________ seems to have changed a lot.A. ChineseB. EnglishC. SpanishD. German38. The word “dialect” in the last paragraph means __________A. a special language spoken by English peopleB. the sign used by the Chinese people in special areasC. the dif ference between the old and today’s ChineseD. the form of a language used in one part of the country( C )Why do people travel? Well, many people travel because they want to see other countries and visit places that are famous, interesting or beautiful. People also travel to meet new friends, to try new kinds of food, to experience life in other parts of the world or simply to get away from cold weather. Yet there are other reasons why people travel. Many of today’s travellers are looking for an unusual experience and adventure travel is becoming more and more popular. Here is a quick look at two popular activities: hiking(远足)and rafting(漂流).HikingInstead of spending your vacation on a bus, in a hotel or sitting on the beach, you may want to try hiking. Hiking is a great way to travel. You will get close to nature and take exercise at the same time. Hiking is easy to do and doesn’t have to be very expensive. You can hike close to home or travel to other places. The basic equipment you need for hiking is simple: good shoes, clothes and a backpack. You can hike in the mountains, in a forest or along a river. You can also go for a hike in the city.Hiking is fun and exciting, but you shouldn’t forget safety.Here are some basic tips for successful hiking:Don't hike alone •Tell someone where you are going• Bring water and a good map •Watch out for dangers, such as snakes• Wear a hat to protect yourself from the sunRaftingAnother exciting adventure(冒险) is rafting. A raft is a small boat that you can use to paddle(划)down rivers and streams. Rafting is a good way to experience nature. If you want a normal rafting trip, choose a quiet stream or river that is wide and has few fallen trees or rocks. If you are looking for more excitement, you may want to try whitewaterrafting. Whitewater rafting is more adventurous and difficult than normal rating. It is done on rivers and streams where the water moves quickly. You have to be careful not to hit rocks, trees and other dangers.As with hiking, you should always think about you r safety and wear good clothes. You also need to learn the basic skills of rafting. You should not go rafting unless you know how to swim,and you should always wear a life jacket.39. Which of the following is the best description of hiking?A. Hiking is a good way to get close to nature and take exerciseB. Hiking need much preparation and moneyC. Hiking can not be done in the countrysideD. Hiking is very safe and people can do it freely40.

Many people travel for the following reasons EXCEPT that _______ A. they want to see other countries B. they travel to meet new friendsC. they don’t like the life of their ownD. they want tohave an adventure四、单词拼写(每空1分,共10分)1.

He’s planning a trip to the United States, and wanted to know about the best places to travel in America. Today, we are going to give you some information which may help you when choosing your destination.Each of the 50 states in America has interesting things to offer visitors, but some are more popular than others. Washington, D.C. is famous for its historical places, like the White House and the Lincoln Memorial. Visitors to Los Angeles, California can see the Hollywood Walk of Fame or shop the stores on Rodeo Drive where they may see a star or two. The Grand Canyon in Arizona appeals to hikers, climbers and nature lovers, as does Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.TripAdvisor is a website where people can write reviews about their travel experiences. Every year, TripAdvisor makes a list of the top 25 cities to visit in the United States. The results are based on the opinions of visitors to the website. Brooke Ferencsik of TripAdvisor said the top picks on the list were not surprising. And it’s no secret why New York City was named the number one destination.New York City is sometimes called “the city that never sleeps〞 because it can be very busy. It is an exciting place for many people because there is so much to do. But the city might be too busy for travelers looking for rest and calm. They might want something more like Myrtle Beach, in the state of South Carolina, which made it to number 21 on Trip Advisor’s list.“A lot of people come to Myrtle Beach for great weather, it’s a wonderful family vacation spot, the beaches - got the wonderful Atlantic beaches there - there’s a lot of family-friendly parks and water parks.〞Many people take time off from their jobs in the summer to travel. Because there are many tourists visiting other places, June until August is known as “high season.〞 Traveling during the high season can be crowded. Hotels, restaurants, and transportation might also be very expensive.If you want to save money on a trip, it is a good idea to plan to leave before or after the summer months. These times are known as “shoulder seasons〞 for travel.“If you’re looking for value, try and think about traveling through the shoulder season if it’s possible - the shoulder season being the fall or the spring. The weather is still very good in some of these destinations, and you can get better prices.〞America’s major cities are still the most popular destinations for visitors. Ferencsik says this is because of the good quality of services they provide tourists.“They do a great job of giving travelers what they want when they’re on vacation.I think they kind of cater to every type of traveler need. So whether you’re traveling alone, you’re traveling for business, you’re traveling with your family - whatever it is, those destinations are really tuned in to delivering amazing experiences and just a lot of different opportunities when you’re there.〞【小题1】Lily has great interest in nature and American history. She canvisit___________.A. The Grand Canyon and Rodeo DriveB. California and Los AngelesC. White House and ArizonaD. Washington, D.C and The Grand Canyon【小题2】Which of the following is NOT true about Myrtle Beach?A.People can enjoy a wonderful holiday with their family there.B.It’s a place where people can have rest and calm.C.It’s on the list of the top 25 cities to visit in the United States.D.It’s in North Carolina with great weather that att racts tourists.【小题3】Why does the author suggest traveling through the shoulder seasons? A.To enjoy good weather in spring and fall.B.To have good quality of services.C.To have better value of traveling .D.To save money and energy.【小题4】The author write this passage to ___.A. give some information about the top 25 cities to visit in USA.B. talk about some American popular places and advice on travelingC. advise tourists to visit big cities for their good service and opportunities.D. give advice on saving money and time when traveling in America.【小题5】This passage may probably be taken from ____.A.a travel journal B.a magazine C.News Weekly D.a websiteBThis year’s Newsweek list of the top 100 high schools shows that today those with fewer students are rising.Ten years ago, when the first Newsweek Top School List based on college-level test participation was published, only three of the top 100 schools had graduating classes smaller than 100 students. This year there are 22.Fifty years ago, they were the latest thing in educational reform: big, modern high schools outside the cities with thousands of students. Big schools meant economic efficiency, a greater choice of courses, and better football teams. But only years later did we understand that it involved the difficulty of strengthening personal connections between teachers and students. SAT scores began dropping; on average, 30% of students did not complete high school in four years, a figure that rose to 50% in poor city neighborhoods. High schools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made little progress.Size isn’t everything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen a noticeable trend toward smaller schools. This has been partly due to the Bill andMelinda Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1,000 small schools —most of them with about 400 kids, each with an average enrollment of only 150 students per grade. About 500 more are on the drawing board. Districts all over the country are taking notice, along with mayors in cities like New York, Chicago and San Diego. And most noticeable of all, there is the phenomenon of large urban and suburban high schools that have split up into smaller units of a few hundred.Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, California, is one of those ranking No.423 — among the top 2% in the country. In 2021, Hillsdale remade itself into three “houses〞. 300 students arriving ninth graders are randomly assigned to one of the houses, where they will keep the same four core subject teachers for two years before moving on to another for 11th and 12th grades. Teachers meet with students in groups of 25, five mornings a week, for open-ended discussions of everything from homework problems to bad Saturday-night dates. The advisers also meet with students privately and stay in touch with parents. Along with the new structure came the percentage of freshmen taking biology jumped from 17 to 95.〞It was rough for some. But by senior year, two-thirds have moved up to physics,〞says Jeff Gilbert. “Our kids are coming to school in part because they know there are adults here who know them and care for them.〞But not all schools show advances after downsizing, and it remains to be seenwhether smaller schools will be a cure-all solution.Ranking schools is always controversial. Over the years this system has been criticized for its simplicity — list of top U.S. high schools was made merely according to the proportion of students taking college-level exams. This year a group of 38 superintendents (地区教育主管) from five states wrote to ask that their schools should be excluded from the calculation. “It is impossible to know which high schools are ‘the best’ in the nation,〞their letter read. “D etermining whether different schools do or don’t offer a high quality of education requires a look at many different measures, including students’ overall academic accomplishments, their later performance in college, and taking into consideration the unique needs of their communities.〞【小题1】What can we learn about the schools sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation?A.They are often located in poor neighborhoods.B.They are popular with high-achieving students.C.They are mostly small in size.D.Another 150 schools invested by the Foundation are planned to be set up. 【小题2】According to Jeff Gilbert, the classes at Hillsdale were set up so that students could ______.A.tell their teachers what they did on weekendsB.experience a great deal of pleasure in learningC.maintain closer relationships with their teachersD.deal with the demanding biology and physics courses【小题3】Newsweek ranks high schools according to ______.A.their students’ academic achievementB.the number of their students admitted to collegeC.the size and number of their graduating classesD.their college-level test participation【小题4】What attitude does the author have towards the present trend in high school education?A.Subjective. B.Objective. C.Indifferent. D.Disapproving. 【小题5】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.Providing Good Education for Baby BoomersB.Top School List Winning National SupportC.Small Schools Rising in popularityD.Students Meeting Higher Academic StandardsIV.书面表达(20分)假设你是李越,准备给在HY留学的同学Sam发个邮件,介绍的百年校庆活动,并谈谈你的感受。

These not only cause computers to run ___29_______(slowly), but also make them crash. When this happens, you are likely to lose important files, and spend a lot of money repairing your computer. No one wants to pay unnecessary money, but this can be avoided if you take our advice below.Here are several tips on keeping your computer____30_____( protect), both at home and at work:1.

Remember that a clean computer is a healthy one—with a little effort, you can save ___40____ a great deal of time and money in the future.Section B 10%Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.It's tough to find the balance between business and customer experience.As a restaurant owner or manager, you want as many table turnovers (周转) as possible within a span of one hour. Quick turn turnovers mean you're making good money. Isn't that what the restaurant business is for in the first ____41____? But unless you're operating a fast food burger joint, you also want your customers to enjoy their meals and ___42___ dining experience, because this experience will dictate =(influence) whether they'll visit yourplace a second time, or never again.It's been proven that eating in loud places encourages faster dining. This increases table turnover. Bright colors like orange, yellow and red also speed up eating, as well as intentionally "uncomfortable" seating. Reading the experience ___43___ makes me want to gobble up(狼吞虎咽) my sandwich twice as fast.On the other hand, you're losing out on customers who're looking for a more refined dining experience. You know, those customers who don't mind spending $100 on a ___44___ tab(账单). These customers want comfortable seating, soft music playing in the____45____, baked scallops on the menu, and all the fixings of a fine dining experience.As mentioned earlier, ___46____ a balance between the two is easier said than done. If you try too hard to become both, you'll end up being none. The following suggestions may be helpful.1. Seating locationsIf you're looking to service casual diners, try ___47____ your seats and tables away from the walls and closer to the center of the room. This creates an atmosphere proven to encourage customers to eat faster so you could turnover tables more quickly.2. Train your staffYour staff play a huge role in the turnover ____48____of the tables in your restaurant.For instance, clearing the tables as soon as diners vacate them encourage newcomers to sit down and occupy that table almost immediately. If you also trained your staff to___49____ orders and bills faster, it is an indirect way of forcing customers to eat faster so they're quickly on their way outGood business and a pleasant dining experience are two opposite extremes of the same spectrum. As the restaurant owner, the decision is yours whether you want a high table turnover business, or a kind of restaurant that goes for the quality-over-quantity___50____.Cloze: 15%Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is ___51 for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no ___52 than tomorrow morning.”My stepmother walked over to me, ___53 my head slightly upward, and looked at me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found an ____54____ for his enthusiasm.”That ____55___ began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my ___56 as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.She changed many things. She ___57 my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father’s career could be more ___58 and my brother and I could be better___59 .When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand___60 and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, I___61 it, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her ___62 and began to write for local newspapers. I was doing the same kind of writing that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life’s work later. I wasn’t the only beneficiary (受益者). My father became the ___63 man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.What power enthusiasm has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one’s purpose and is ___64strengthened by faith, it becomes an irresistible force which poverty and temporary defeat can never ___65 .You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it.

But New York’s widespread efforts to make streets safer for bikes have also left some locals complaining about the loss of parking spots and lanes for cars.When the weather is good, Aaron Naparstek likes to pedal(用踏板踩)his two young kids to school on a special Dutch-made bicycle. Naparstek supports the new lane.Aaron: The bike lane on Prospect Park West is really introducing a lot of new people to the idea that it’s possible to use a bike in New York City for transportation or to travel around.This is what 21st century New York City looks like.Prospect Park West is still a one-way road, but where it used to have three lanes of car traffic, now it has two, plus a protected bike lane. Supporters say that makes the road safer for everyone, including pedestrians, by slowing down cars and taking bikes off the sidewalk. But some longtime residents disagree. Lois Carswell is president of a group called Seniors for Safety. She says the two-way bike lane is dangerous to older residents who are used to one-way traffic.Lois: We wanted a lane — the right kind of lane that would keep everybody safe, that would keep the bikers safe. But we want it to be done the right way. And it has not been done the right way.Craig Palmer builds bars and restaurants in Manhattan. I was interviewing him for a different story when he brought up the bike lanes all on his own.Craig: I think the biggest problem is that Bloomberg put all these bike lanes in. You took what used to be a fullstreet and you’re shrinking it.Then there are the Hasidic Jews in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, who forced the city to remove a bike lane through their neighborhood. But polls show that the majority of New Yorkers support bike lanes by a margin of 56% to 39%. Bicycle advocate Caroline Samponaro of Transportation Alternatives calls that a mandate.Caroline: If this was an election, we would have already had our victory. The public has spoken and they keep speaking. And I think, more importantly, the public is starting to vote with their pedals.70. What does Aaron mean by saying “This is what 21st century New York City looks like.”?A. There are hundreds of miles of new bike lanes in 21 st century New York City.B. Drivers slow down their cars and bikes are taken off the sidewalk in New York.C. Bikes are used as a means of transport in 21 st century New York City.D. It’s possible to make the streets safe for pedestrians in New York.71. According to the passage, which of the following CANNOT support the opponents of these new bikelanes?A. Drivers lose parking spots and lanes for cars.B. The two-way bike lane is dangerous to older residents.C. We took what used to be a full street so the road is broader than before.D. The removal of one bike lane through a neighbourhood in Brooklyn was not supported by the majority ofNew Yorkers.72. “A mandate” in Paragraph 8 was referred to a demand or command from ______.A. the authorityB. the publicC. the supportersD. the government73. What of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Ride on National Bike-to-Work DayB. A New Bike Lane Appears in New YorkC. A Bike Lane Divides New YorkersD. Who Wins an ElectionCTerraforming (Earth-forming) other planets, also known as planetary engineering, seems like a task still centuries away for mankind to accomplish. However, it is a vigorous topic that attracts both popular and scientific interest. Why should the possibility of terraforming other planets be studied when it may be centuries before we know enough to even decide if it’s a good idea?Mankind is getting more and more hard facts about other planets. The atmosphere of Venus has been explored; robots have surveyed the surface of Mars; Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn have been studied by spacecraft. Speculations have been answered; new questions have been raised, and enough hard data is right now becoming available to allow us to make the first attempt of planetary engineering.In the past, people with excellent ideas about terraforming have kept them to themselves, or buried them in a desk drawer because they did not realize that anyone else was interested. But now, a wide circle of people has begun to do this kind of work. For instance, NASA funded a project on transforming Mars.There are several strong reasons which demand that the possibilities of terraforming be studied carefully. First, it’s an exciting idea of a possible future for human beings. Such thinking has a valuable role in providing options for our future directions. Secondly, the techniques of terraforming will also help contemporary technologies in weather and climate control. Thirdly, such study may assist us in detecting any possible existence of extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI, The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence(地外文明搜索) and alien (异己的) civilizations on other planets.Though the mission is far beyond our reach at the moment, we should at least keep our options open. Through debate and study on this subject, the possibility of rebuilding other planets to make them suitable homes for people may come true some day in the future.74. According to the context, what’s the meaning of the word “speculation” in paragraph 2?A. The act of discussing something with a group of people.B. The act of studying and researching.C. The act of guessing without knowing all the facts about something.D. The acting of writing letters to a certain organization.75. Why did people keep the idea of terraforming to themselves in the past?A. They thought no one else would show interest in the idea.B. They gradually came to find the idea crazy.C. They thought the idea would never come true.D. They had few resources for further study on this topic.76. Which is NOT the reason to support the study of terraforming?A. Even if we don’t succeed in terraforming, such study may help us to better understand technologies such asclimate and weather control.B. Such study may explore a new direction of development for human beings.C. Such study may enable us to find the lives on other planets.D. As the resources on Earth are being drained, it’s very urgent to study how to migrate (迁移) to other planets.77. What’s the main idea of the article?A. It’s highly possible that terraforming other planets will come true so we should increase investing in thisprogram.B. Even if the idea of terraforming other planets may take centuries to realize, we have many reasons to supportsuch studies.C. Terraforming other planets is the best option for human being’s future.D. More and more people are taking planetary engineering as their occupation.Section C(8%)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.By 2025, 50000 elementary and middle schools will include soccer in the curriculumB.Germany also lays great emphasis on the development of its soccer .C. Critics say the biggest reason is a lack of a well-built youth training systemD. Fare is free there.E. The rising soccer giant Germany also knows the importance of youth training.F. Its talent scouts (星探) are stationed around the world, always looking for boys who show outstanding potential for soccer.Plans kick off soonFor years, Chinese soccer fans have rarely had the chance to cheer for a triumph from the national team. However, hope for Chinese soccer has been ignited (点燃) recently, as the government released an overall reform plan to boost the development of soccer in China on march 16.1 According to the plan, students will be given textbooks that teach the positions of players and soccer tactics (战术). They will also be encouraged to form soccer teams and participate in competitions regularly. The extraordinary young players will be enrolled into local leagues and training camps, helping to build up a large soccer talent pool.Chinese soccer, with the national team currently ranked at No 83 in the world, has been lagging behind many other countries for a long time. 2 , which is the key to creating a strong soccer culture, according to the BBC.Take Spain, a team that has dominated the world of soccer for a long time, as an example. It has the world’s best soccer school, La Masia. This FC Barcelona youth academy is widely known for producing skillful and creative soccer talents. Teams in the academy are divided into 12 levels, from U8(for players under 8 years old) to U19. 3 Studying there is free of charge. A talented 10-year-old boy can walk into La Masia and come out eight years later as a superstar.4 Germany scored only one goal at the 2000 European Championships, which started a national discussion over why the country could no longer produce good, young players. So in 2001, the German Football League required that all Bundesliga (甲级联赛) clubs set up academies with youth teams from U12 to U23. The clubs now spend over 100 million on youth development each year. And they have successfully raised the standards of young German players.In 26-year-old midfielder Thomas Muwller, 25 year-old midfielder Toni Kroos and 33-year-old full back Philipp Lahm, for instance, the world has witnessed Bayern’s youth work paying off handsomely.“Youth is the key to China’s soccer, as late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping said” but it takes time to gain results,” said President Xi Jinping in 2014, “China’s soccer dream looks far away, but we cannot stop.”I.

But in the end she has decided that writing is what she loves.HarukiHaruki Kato is a highly enthusiastic young sculptor (刻师).At the age of 16, he has already had his work shown in galleries and won several competitions. He says he is encouraged not by successful artists, but by anyone who is driven and determined to get where they want. I have a lot of people around me who have helped me and made sure I improve and grow as an artist. In the future, I’d like to do the same for children like me who have a talent but need.ElenaElena Mancini is 17-year-old make-up artist with plans for the fut ure. She’salready working in local theatres and has even helped on a film set. "People in ourvillage have always put on plays and my mom does all the make-up. I used to ask her to let me help her.

He is a pioneer of street art. He began his work as a city decorator in Paris in the early 1980s, when he was twenty. Blek began his artwork in 1981, painting (用模板制成的图案) of rats (老鼠) on the walls of Paris streets.His real name is Xavier Prou, and he does not draw violent images, only reflective ones, and he says, "My images are a present I make for everyone to enjoy, even children. " He has had a great influence on today's graffiti (涂鸦) art, the main drive of his work being social awareness and his wish to bring art to people. His dream is to be allowed to provide art to the city streets without having any problems. Once he was caught by the police, and afterwards he turned to putting posters instead. They are after all better for the walls, aren't they?His designs, based on life-size stencils of human beings and animals, don't just decorate cities but awaken people's emotions. Their social observation makes them touching, humorous and political. In 2006 he began his series of images representing the homeless, in attempts to bring attention to what he views as a global problem.He says that when you go on the street with a spray can (喷漆罐),and pry your name,you will go back and see it, because when you leave something in the street, you leave part of yourself. Street artists cannot help coming back to admire their own work; it is the main reason for doing it.The Internet has made street at a global movement, but it is the art of the common people and not of highly paid and respectable artists. There is nothing bigger culturally in the world at the moment than street art. It is taking over the planet Mot cites are covered with it, so much so that it is noticeable when there isn’t any. It is even bring sold, like "real" woks of art.4.What did Blek le Rat do in 1981?A.He gave up his job. B.He took up street art.C.He made his name as an artist.

D.It becomes less popular.7.What's the best title for the text?A.The History of Street Art B.Global Love for Modem ArtC.Stencil Art Pioneer Blek le Rat D.The Big Comeback of Graffiti ArtCWhat's the hottest topic in your country? Whaling (捕鲸) is one topic that's been dividing nations for many years now.By the 1940s, more than 30,000 whales were being caught worldwide every year. Oil from whales lit the lights of major cities in the US and Europe, and whale oil was used to make soaps, paint and even the glaze on photographs.In order to manage the development of the global whaling industry, the International Whaling Commission (TWC) was formed in 1946. However, in 1986, the IWC decided to ban whaling. The biggest concern was the huge decrease in whale populations across the planet. Indeed many people say that it came too late and that commercial (商业的) whaling has already resulted in many animals dying out. According to Greenpeace, sei whales and fin whales are listed as "endangered animals".But there are many other good reasons to fight against whaling. Whales are very intelligent animals. They have social networks very similar to those of humans. On top of that, whaling is also a cruel industry.Still, some countries continue to hunt whales. hunts more than 1,000 whales a year —all of them are caught as part of a supposed "scientific research" programme run by the Japanese Institute of Cetacean Research. Many people argue that this "research" is nothing more than a front for commercial whaling. The situation was not helped in 2001, when Masayuki Komatsu from the Japanese Fisheries Agency described minke whales as the "cockroaches (蟑螂) of the sea" in an interview.Many groups have tried to stop the hunts. The Ady Gil (a ship belonging to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society) was hit by a whaling ship. The Ady Gil later sank. At present, the world is fairly divided on the topic with Iceland, Japan and Norway on the pro-whaling side, and the US, Australia, and the EU on the anti-whaling side. Asked recently to give a number between one and ten to show how difficult his job was, Dr Simon Brockington, the chairman of the IWC, said "about a twelve"!8.What fact is presented in the second paragraph?A.Whale oil was of no use.B.Whaling was once a big industry.C.Few whales were killed by humans.D.The US was the biggest whaling country.9.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.A concern. B.A suggestion.C.The global ban on whaling. D.The endangered animals list.10.What did Brockington think of anti-whaling?A.It was effective. B.It was not realistic.C.It was a dangerous attempt. D.It was difficult to carry out.DGeorge Mason University looks like any other big college with its tall buildings, student housing and green lawns (草坪)—except for the robots.This Northern Virginia university recently set up several dozen meal delivery(递送) robots from Starship Technologies to make it easier for students to get food.Many colleges across the country have set up delivery robots—including University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, and Northern Arizona University—but George Mason University is the first college in the United States to include robots in its student dining plan. The school is partnering with food service provider Sodexo for the program."We were amazed by the volume of orders (订单量) that we had when we turned the service on," Starship Technologies manager Ryan Tuohy says. "But what's really touching is how the students in the university have accepted the robots."Student Grace Pereira-Plaza says she finds the robots "pretty cute" and at first students were crazy about them - taking pictures, dressing them up for holidays. But they slowly got used to them. “We find it normal now. When we see them go by, it’s like ‘Oh there they are,”" Pereira- Plaza says.How does it work? Students can place an order through an app for food from any restaurant that is part of the program. The cost is $1.99 per delivery. Then, they wait. The goal: a 30- minute delivery. Students can watch robot as it travels toward them- at 4 miles an hour.The robot is equipped with nine cameras and sensors to navigate (导航) its surrounds. Humans are still needed to put the food into the robots and they can monitor (监控) them from far away and step in if there are any problems. But these are self-learning machines that can adapt. So, if they see a student start across the road they’ll know what to do, "Mark Kroner, head of the school's food operations, says. " So they are learning and its fun to watch them progress. " 11.What is the purpose of the robots?A.To send food. B.To cut lawns.C.To cook tasty food. D.To teach cooking courses.12.How did Ryan Tuohy feel when the robot was first used at George Mason University?A.Nervous. B.Regretful. C.Disappointed. D.Surprised. 13.What will happen if a robot finds itself in a difficult situation?A.The orders will be canceled immediately.B.It will return using the way it came.C.It will signal the customers for help.D.The human monitors will help.14.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Robots Deliver Food to StudentsB.Robots Are Changing with the TimesC.Robots Are Putting People out of JobsD.Robots Make Colleges More Attractive二、七选五Business etiquette in SingaporeBe polite, professional and patient at all times.

Yep, it really is that good.Set in a world populated by robots, Ewan McGregor plays Rodney Copperbottom, a young robot who leaves his small-town home to pursue his dream of becoming an inventor.But after arriving in Robot City, his hopes of getting a job at Bigweld Industries are destroyed when he learns the firm has been taken over by the evil Ratchet (Greg Kinnear).Egged on by his controlling mum, Madame Gasket (Jim Broadbent), Ratchet plans to reduce half of Robot City’s citizens to scrap metal by refusing to sell the spare parts they need to survive.Ins tead, he wants to make a fortune selling expensive upgrades that few can afford. As he says, “Why be you when you can be new?〞Aided by a few misfit robots known as the Rustles—including Robin Williams as the cowardly' (胆小的〕Fender (“I’m made of a metal cal led Afraidium〞)—Rodney must track down the firm’s founder, Bigweld (Mel Brooks), and convince him to save the city from Ratchet’s plans.The first thing that’ll strike you about the movie is the thought that's gone into creating Robot City. It’s a wondrous world full of mechanical marvels including wind-up cars and walking streetlamps.Also terrific are the special effects. This might be an animated movie but at times you’ll catch yourself thinking it’s really a live-action film.Of course, there have been plenty of animated movies that looked the part but were let down by a weak storyline (see Shark Tale, for example).But Robots grips (扣人心弦) right from the start thanks to a heart-warming and thoroughly engaging plot that never bores.My only complaints are with Williams who, as usual,has a one-in-10 success rate with his jokes. Also a letdown is a romantic subplot between Rodney and a shapely robot called Cappy (Halle Berry) that doesn’t go anywhere.Complains aside, this is a mechanical marvel that’ll have you bolted firmly to your seat.BEST QUOTE(引述): Fender: “Even though you had a discouraging day, just remember there’s another one coming tomorrow.〞BEST BIT: Check out those amazing images.WORST BIT: Robin Williams, character does an unfunny Britney Spears dance routine.IF YOU LIKED…Ice Age, The Incredibles, Toy Story... YOU’LL LIKE THIS.【小题1】This piece of writing is a _______.A. commercial advertisementB. film reviewC. movie posterD. literary essay【小题2】The cast of Robots is made up of all the following actors or actresses EXCEPT _______.A. Ewan McGregorB. Robin WilliamsC. Britney SpearsD. Halle Berry【小题3】What is Shark Tale an example of?A. A great cast.B. A poor plot.C. Special effects.D. Clumsy animation.B.These young men were a different kind of prisoner from those we had seen before. They-were brave, hostile〔怀敌意的〕and_1__ they would not take orders, and shouted"Amandla!〞at every opportunity. Their instinct was to confront〔对抗〕rather than cooperate. The authorities② did not know how to handle them, and they turned theisland upside down. During the Rivonia Trial, I remarked to a security policeman that if the government did not reform itself, the freedom fighters who would take our place③would some-day make theauthorities miss us. That day had indeed come on Robben Island.In these young men we saw the angry revolutionary spirit of the times. I had had some warning. On a visit with Winnie a few months before, she had managed to tell me through our coded conversation that there was a rising class of discontented youths④ who were violent and Africanist in beliefs. She said they were changing the nature of the struggle and that I should be aware of them.The new prisoners were shocked by what they considered the inhuman conditions of the island, and said that they could not understand how we could live in such a way. We told them that they should have seen the island in 1964. But they were almost as sceptical of us as they were of the authorities. They chose to ignore our calls for discipline and thought our advice weak and unassertive〔不果断〕.It was obvious that they regarded us, the Rivonia Trialists⑤,as moderates⑥〔温和派〕.After so many years of being branded a radical〔激进的〕revolutionary, to be seen as a moderate was a novel and not altogether pleasant feeling. I knew that I could react in one of two ways:I could scold them for their disrespect or I could listen to what they were saying. I chose the latter.'then some of these men, such as Strini Moodley of the South African Students' Organization and Saths Cooper of the Black People's Convention, came into our section, I __2____ Shortly after their arrival on the island, the commanding officer came and asked me as a favour to address the young men. He wanted me to tell them to behave themselves, to recognize the fact that they were in prison and to accept the discipline of prison life.I told him that I was not prepared to do that. Under the circumstances, they would have regarded me as a follower ofthe authorities.(-adapted from "Long walk to freedom: The autobiography of Nelson Mandela')【小题1】Which of the following words fits best in Blank 1?A. mild B.aggressive C. friendly D. optimistic【小题2】We may infer from the passage all of the following EXCEPT that_A. an angry massive revolution was probably on its wayB .the author's activities were strictly monitoredC .many were concerned about the influence these young men could makeD. these young men were willing to cooperate in face of difficulties【小题3】Sentences are missing in Blank 2 regarding the author's following reactions. Which of the following reactions do you think he would have?A. "I" asked them to tell us about their movement and beliefs.B."I" reported to the officers about their dissatisfaction.C. "I" tried to calm them down and talked them into behaving.D. "I" just turned a deaf ear to the young men.【小题4】Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Conditions of the prison were far more unsatisfactory in 1964.B .Officers of the prison turned the island upside down to discipline the young men.C. The Rivonia Trialists felt honored to be regarded as moderates.D. The young men regarded the author as a follower of the authorities.【小题5】Several phrases have been underlined and numbered in the passage; which two of them actually refer to the same people?A.①②B.③④C.⑤③D.⑥①C"Extra? Extra!Gasoline hits four dollars a gallon!〞No one will really be shocked一except, perhaps, the old-timers who tell about the good old days when gas was three gallons for a dollar, and people drove around "just for the fun of it".As a matter of fact; the price of gas has been rising fast and steadily for several years, and many adjustments have already been made.There was, for a time, considerable unemployment in the auto industry, and three quarters of the garages and service stations have gone out of business. However; the bicycle andmotor-scooter business has flourished〔兴隆); and many people have found employment there: Now that Federal Motors has brought out its new Lilliput, which travels forty miles on a gallon, the auto business is picking up again. The factories that haven't switched over to two-wheel transportation are working on their new smaller models. There is talk, too, about bringing out new steam and electric automobiles that will be just as economical as the old cars.In the meantime, streetcars are gradually replacing buses all over the country because of the greater economy of electric power. And many people who have seldom used public transportation are now riding the streetcars while their automobiles rust〔生锈〕in their garages. There's no market at all for their big, luxurious cars, for only the wealthy can now afford to operate them. Many people are now shopping in their own neighborhood, and small businesses are thriving.Ministers, educators, and editorial writers are pointing out that there has been a great improvement in family life. Families now stay at home more for their fun, and children and parents are becoming better acquainted. The stores report a booming business in parlor games, hobby materials, books, musical instruments and albums.People have lost their pale indoor look. The revival of the lost art of walking has brought a healthy pink back to many a cheek. This return to the heels has revolutionized the clothing styles; people now need to be ready for all kinds of weather:These conditions, however, may not last. Already our clever chemists are at work on new synthetic fuels which, they say, will put us right back where we were一on wheels. Shall w e wish them success or not?【小题1】Which of the following is NOT a result of the gas price rising?A. More people prefer to travel on public transportation which costs less than driving cars.B. People return to the traditional exercise of walking, which helps them to look healthier.C. People shop in nearby stores without having to drive, so small businesses are declining.D. The auto industry has been forced to develop new models which are more economical. 【小题2】The purpose of writing this passage is_.A. to show the chain reaction of the rising gas priceB. to discuss whether it's necessary to work on new fuelsC. to warn people not to use too much gasolineD. to picture what life will be like if gas runs out【小题3】What is the best title for this passage?A. New fuels on the wayB. Cars or bicycles, that is a questionC. End of the good old daysD. From wheels to heelsDRecently, an almost literal case of lifeboat ethics(伦理) occurred. On Aug. 4, Graham and Sheryl Anley, while boating off the coast of South Africa, hit a rock. As the boat threatened to sink the husband got off, but his wife was trapped in the boat. Instead of freeing his wife and getting her to shore, Graham grabbed Rosie, their pet dog. With Rosie safe and sound, Graham returned for Sheryl. All are doing fine.It's a great story, but it doesn't strike me as especially newsworthy. News is supposed to be about something fairly unique, and recent research suggests that, in the right circumstances, lots of people also would have grabbed their Rosie first.We have strange relationships with our pets. We lavish our pets with adoration and better health care thanbillions of people receive. We speak to pets with the same high-pitched voices that we use for babies. As an extreme example of our feelings about pets, the Nazis had strict laws that guaranteed the humane treatment of the pets of Jews being shipped to death camps.A recent paper by George Regents University demonstrates this human involvement with pets to an astonishing extent. Participants in the study were told a situation in which a bus is out of control, bearing down on a dog and a human. Which do you save? With responses from more than 500 people, the answer was that it depended: What kind of human and what kind of dog?Everyone would save a brother, grandparent or close friend rather than a strange dog. But when people considered their own dog versus people less connected with them—a distant cousin or a hometown stranger—votes in favor of saving the dog came rolling in. And an astonishing 40% of respondents, including 46% of women, voted to save their dog over a foreign tourist.What does a finding like this mean? First, that your odds aren't so good if you find yourself in another country with a bus bearing down on you and a cute dog. But it also points to something deeper: our unprecedented(史无前例的) attitude toward animals, which got its start with the birth of humane societies in the 19th century.We prison people who abuse animals, put ourselves in harm's way in boats between whales and whalers and show sympathy to Bambi and his mother. We can extend empathy to an animal and feel its pain like no other species. But let's not be too proud of ourselves. As this study and too much of our history show, we're pretty selective about how we extend our humaneness to other human beings.【小题1】What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To create a relaxing mood for readers.B. To present the theme of this essay straightly.C. To lead in the main topic of this essay.D. To raise problems that will be solved later.【小题2】The author mentions Nazi laws in the third paragraph _______________.A. to show how cruel the Nazis were to the JewsB. as an example to persuade people not to love petsC. to illustrate the strange relationship between human and petsD. as an example to display the humaneness of the Nazis【小题3】Which of the following is true according to the article?A. The story of the Anleys and their dog was too unique to be newsworthy.B. Most people surveyed choose to save their own dog rather than a human.C. It was in the 19th century that human beings started to love their pets.D. Human beings are more and more concerned with animals nowadays.【小题4】What does the author mainly argue for?A. Pets are of great significance to us human beings.B. We should rethink about our attitude towards animals and mankind.C. It is kind of human beings to extend humaneness to animals.D. We should be selective when showing attitude toward other human beings.四季寄语情感寄语在纷繁的人群中/牵手走过岁月/就像走过夏季/拥挤的海滩在我居住的江南/已是春暖花开季节/采几片云彩/轻捧一掬清泉/飘送几片绿叶/用我的心/盛着寄给/北国的你不要想摆脱冬季/看/冰雪覆盖的世界/美好的这样完整/如我对你的祝福/完整地这样美好挡也挡不住的春意/像挡也挡不住的/想你的心情/它总在杨柳枝头/泄露我的秘密往事的怀念/爬上琴弦/化作绵绵秋雨/零零落落我诚挚的情怀/如夏日老树下的绿荫/斑斑驳驳虽只是一个小小的祝福/却化做了/夏季夜空/万点星辰中的一颗对你的思念/温暖了/我这些个漫长的/冬日从春到夏,从秋到冬......只要你的帘轻动,就是我的思念在你窗上走过.在那个无花果成熟的季节,我才真正领悟了你不能表达的缄默.我又错过了一个花期/只要你知道无花也是春天/我是你三月芳草地燕子声声里,相思又一年朋友,愿你心中,没有秋寒.一到冬天,就想起/那年我们一起去吃的糖葫芦/那味道又酸又甜/就像......爱情.谢谢你/在我孤独时刻/拜访我这冬日陋室只要有个窗子/就拥有了四季/拥有了世界愿你:俏丽如三春之桃,清素若九秋之菊没有你在身边,我的生活永远是冬天!让我们穿越秋天/一起去领略那收获的喜悦!在冬天里,心中要装着春天;而在春天,却不能忘记冬天的寒冷.落红不是无情物,化作春泥更护花.愿是只燕,衔着春光,翩翩向你窗.请紧紧把握现在/让我们把一种期翼/或者是一种愿望/种进大地/明春/它就会萌生绿色的叶片.此刻又是久违的秋季/又是你钟爱的季节/于是/秋风秋雨秋云秋月/都化作你的笑颜身影/在我的心底落落起起.此刻已是秋季/你可体验到/收获怀念的感觉/和秋雨一样真实动人.一条柳枝/愿是你生活的主题/常绿常新/在每一个春季雨声蝉鸣叶落风啸/又一个匆匆四季/在这冬末春初/向遥远的你/问安!又是夏季/时常有暴雨雷鸣/此刻/你可以把我当作大雨伞/直至雨过天晴/留给你一个/彩虹的夏季!。

Upon leaving college,Helen served as a copy girl in an old company in Washington.In 1943,Ms Thomas joined United Press International and the Washington Press Corps.Thomas served as president of the Women’s National Press Club from 1959 to 1960.In November,Helen began covering then president-elect John F. Kennedy, following him to the White House in January 1961 as a UPI correspondent(通讯员).She later became White House bureau chief for UPI, where she was employed until her resignation on May 17,2000.Thomas then became a White House correspondent and a columnist.Thomas was the only woman journalist traveling with then President Nixon to China in January,1972.She has traveled around the world several times with Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, and Clinton,during the course of which she covered every Economic Summit.The World Almanac and Book of Fact has cited her as one of the 25 Most Influential Women in America.On March 21, 2006, Thomas was called upon directly by President Bush for the first time in three years.Thomas asked Bush about Iraq.Helen Thomas has written four books and she is also a popular speaker at events nationwide.1.What’s the correct order of the events?a.Thomas joined the United Press International and the Washington Press Corps.b.Thomas traveled with President Nixon to China.c.Thomas served as president of the Women’s National Press Club.d.Thomas resigned.e.Thomas was called upon by President Bush.f.Thomas became a White House correspondent and a columnist.A.a, b, c, d, e, f B.a, c, b, d, f, e C.a, c, b, d, e, f D.a,d, e, f, c, b2.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Thomas made speeches about events nationwide.B.Thomas has written four books.C.Thomas covered every Economic Summit when traveling with US presidents.D.Thomas became a correspondent after she graduated from university.3.According to the passage , we can know that _____________.

A.was very poor when she was young.B.served as president of the Women’s National Press Club for three years.C.has written many books and is popular worldwide.D.traveled with President Nixon to China without any other woman journalist .BOne bitterly cold day, a snowstorm blew into our area. Needing firewood, I quickly set out with my best friend, Bruce, to look for a tree to cut down. I was glad to have Bruce along. Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can be dangerous. So it was important to have a friend who could warn me of dangers.When I chose a big 23-meter-tall tree and prepared to cut it down, my best friend suddenly warned me, “Don’t cut down that tree! It’s too close to the power line!” I wasn’t sure about it. So I decided to disregard his warning. I wanted to finish the job quickly and go home. So I began cutting down the tree. When the tree fell, there was no longer any doubt that my friend was right.The tree caught the power line, bringing it to the ground. I considered cutting the tree off the line. Aft er all, electricity can’t travel through wood, so I could safely remove the tree. As I reached out my finger to touch the tree, pain ran up my arm and through my head. I had been shocked!After I returned home and told my mother what had happened, she quickly called the power company. Workers from the power company soon arrived on the scene. One of them asked if I had touched the tree, and when I told him I had, his face turned pale.“You should have been killed,” he said.So why am I still alive? It was my boots that saved my life.Within two hours, the workers removed the tree. Soon the snowstorm calmed down—but not my mother.Even though she was glad I wasn’t hurt, my mother was well seriouswith me. After all, I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.Through this experience, I learned that it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective. Taking the time to listen might actually save a lot of time and trouble. It certainly would have kept me from getting the “shock of my life”.5.The underlined word “disregard ” in the second paragraph means “________”.A.pay no attention to B.take notice ofC.consider D.follow6. In spite of Bruce’s warning, the author still cut the tree because ________.A.he wasn’t sure whether Bruce was right and was anxious to go home B.he was sure there would be nothing to happenC.he didn’t hear his friend’s warning at all because of the blowing windD.he was angry with his friend and didn’t want to listen to him7.The author wrote the passage mainly to _______.A.give an account of one of his terrible experiencesB.make us know it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective (观点) through his experienceC.tell us not to cut trees down any moreD.remind us to be careful while working 8. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A.But for his boots, the writer would have died.B.The writer regretted having brushed off his friend’s warning. C.The writer knew nothing about electricity.D.When the tree was cut down, the writer realized his friend was right CPrinceton UniversityLocationThe University is in Princeton, New Jersey.

In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.People in California love to talk about "zero-emissions vehicles," but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants most all use fire to make it. Aside from the few folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators. Generators are fueled by something - usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likelycoal-burning cars. It's just the coal is burned somewhere else so it looks clean. It is not. It's as if the California Greens are covering their eyes - "If I can't see it, it's not happening." Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat - at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far - so electric cars burn more fuel than gas-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes, or geothermal, or hydro, or solar, or wind, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don't use much of those energy sources.In addition, electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takesa lot longer when all the waste is in one spot.13. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Electric cars are not actually clean .B. Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones.C. People cast doubts on electric cars' batteries.D. Gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle.14.The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run __________.A.not less than 25 miles.B.more than 25 miles.C.not more than 25 miles.D.no less than 25 miles.15.It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A.being green is good and should be encouraged in communications B.electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning something.C.zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment.D.electric cars are now the strong vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

One of the reasonspeople love it so much is that you get presents. But like presents, Christmas needs to be unwrapped so that you can understand the true meaning behind the day.Many Chinese believe everyone in Western countries celebrate this holiday. That is not true. Christmas is an important religious holiday for Christians. December 25 represents the birthday of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the son of God.Christianity (基督教) is a very popular religion in America and Europe. However, there are many other religions, t oo. People who celebrate those religions don’t celebrate Christmas. But during the winter season they usually have their own important holiday. That is why when talking to a foreigner it is safer to say, “ Happy holidays〞instead of “Merry Christmas〞 because you never know his/her religious background.The image of a fat, happy man in red---Santa Claus---has come to represent the idea of goodness and love instead of religious part or the “Christmas spirit〞. Santa Claus is based on a man named Saint Nicholas who was a 4th century Greek Christian.Saint Nicholas bought presents for children and gave them away anonymously(匿名地). This is where the idea of gift on Christmas began. But the Santa Claus didn’t exist until the 19th century when an American named Thomas Nast drew cartoons of him. So really, Santa has nothing to do with the religious holiday.In fact, some people who celebrate Christmas don’t really care about Santa Claus.Christmas is a special day for Christians but the ideas of being good and loving your neighbors are not limited to Christianity. So buy a gift for your friend, tell your mother you love her and have merry Christmas. I mean ,〞Happy holidays!〞56. Christians believe December 25 represents the birthday of _________.A. Santa ClausB. GodC. Jesus ChristD. Thomas Nast57. In the passage, the author thinks __________.A. Santa Claus was a real person in the pastB. everyone should believe in ChristianityC. all people in Western countries celebrate ChristmasD. Santa Claus has nothing to do with Christmas holiday58. What is “the true meaning〞 in the first passage?A. For many people Christmas is the most wonderful time of the yearB. The Westerners have different religious backgroundsC. Some like to say “Merry Christmas〞, and ot hers like to say “Happy holidays〞D. Being good and loving our neighbors are the virtues of all humans59. What is the CORRECT explanation of Santa Claus?A. He was a Greek Christian in the 4th centuryB. He was an America n who was born in the 19th centuryC. His image represents the “Christmas spirit〞D. He was a cartoon figure drawn by Thomas NastBHave you ever heard the story of the four-minute miles? Many years ago, people believed that it was impossible for a human being to run a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proved it wrong in 1954.What happens if you put an animal in a pond? Any animal, big or small, will swim its way through. What happens when someone, who doesn’t know how to swim, falls in deep water? They were drown. If an animal who has not learnt swim could escape by swimming, W hy not you? Because you believe you will drown while the animal doesn’t. Have you ever wondered why the letters are organized in a particular order on your keyboard? You might have thought it is to increase the typing speed. Most people never questioned it. But the fact is that this system was developed to reduce the typing speed at a time when typewriter parts you jam if the operator typed too fast.These three cases show the power of our beliefs. There is no other more powerful force in human behavior than belief. Your beliefs have the power to create and to destroy. A belief delivers command to your nervous system.I used a snake in my workshop for children to show them how unrealistic some of their beliefs are. Students of a school in India said snakes are slippery and slimy and poisonous. After doing an exercise for changing beliefs, they took my snake and found it to be dry and clean. They also remembered that only three types of poisonous snakes exist in India.Did this story end the way you thought? Review your beliefs now and find out which ones you need to change.60.In the author’s opinion, if a person in deep water doesn’t know how to swim, he will drown because_________.A.he is afraid of water B.he believes he will drownC.he hasn’t learnt to swim before D.he doesn’t want to live in the world 61.The author thinks that the letters are organized in a particular order on your keyboard in order to _________.A.save more space B.satisfy the operatorC.reduce one’s typing speed D.increase one’s typing speed 62.The author’s experiment shows that________.A.snakes are dry and clean B.snakes can be caught easily C.snakes are slimy and poisonous D.snakes in India aren’t poisonous 63.According to the passage, we know that_________A.students from India have unrealistic beliefs on how to live a better life B.an animal who hasn’t learnt how to swim will drown if you put it in pond C.most people don’t like the order the letters are arranged on the keyboard D.Roger Banister was the first person who ran a mile in less than four minutes64. The main idea of this passage should be that________.A. beliefs are very powerfulB. beliefs make us seem stupidC. changing your beliefs now is necessaryD. people should always believe in themselvesCHaving one of those days or weeks----when everything seems to annoy you? Evenif you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster---often within a day or two.Walk it offExercise is the most popular bad-mood buster(破坏者). A person who is in bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or doing some quickexercises can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.Tune it outListening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts associations with pas t positive experiences we’ve had.Give yourself a pep talkStop and listen to what is on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper; the pessimistic (悲观的) messages you’ve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. (“ I still don’t have a job〞v.s “ I have two interviews next week.〞)Reduce your stressRelaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing (想象),all of which sound complicated but aren’t. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to against distress is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no choices. By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.Avoid things that won’t improve your moodTV may not help much: You need to increase your energy level and stimulate(刺激) your mind -----somethi ng that the TV show “Neighbors〞won’t do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine(咖啡因) contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta, produce a calming effect in people who have a desire for them.65. We learn from the text that it might help rid us of a bad mood________.A. to do nothing about itB. to take a long walk on the beachC. to do some exercises with light musicD. to talk it to neighbors66. Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?A. It is not complicated to do soB. It is an area to be easily controlledC. It helps beat a bad moodD. It brings us a new technique67. TV may not improve your mood because _____.A. it sometimes shows what happens around youB. it keeps you stay unmovedC. it reminds you of eating and drinkingD. it produces a calming effect68. This text most probably appears in _______A. a book on physical exercisesB. a doctor’s handbookC. a noticeD. a magazineDWhat makes a house a home?Not size, of course. I’ve been in some of the grandest houses in America and it’s readily apparent no on e lives there. Earlier this year in a mud hut in Ethiopia, where we sat on chairs next to the hostess’s bed—a home that had more warmth than any house I’ve been in since.Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just-released book-- The Blueprints of Our Lives. There Edwards writes, “ This is a book about homes, the values they rest on, the dreams they are filled with, and the people they have shaped. The houses and circumstances (环境) are different, but much of what you find inside will be familiar.〞Whether you’re sitting in an airport right now, waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving, or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive, you know what he’s talking about.We’ve lived in our townhouse for 21 y ears--the loose windows that make noise in the wind, the fireplace so shallow it holds only one log, the kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by. It is where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed. I lived there for only 18, but it will always be my true home. Even the lamp in the west living room window, which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night, still shines.While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting, home is whom you’re with, not where you are. As Edwards writes, “ Home is family. Home issafety. Home is faith.〞69. What wou ld be the best title for the text?A. Home means everythingB. What’s inside makes us feel at homeC. Home: The Blueprints of Our LivesD. The importance of Houses70. The purpose of the second paragraph is to _________.A. mean the author likes living in grandest housesB. prove the author got along with the hostessC. mean the feeling of a home isn’t rel ated to the sizeD. show the author’s different feelings about houses71.

According to the text, which of the following can make a house a home?A. The atmosphere you feelB. The color of the wallsC. The number of family membersD. The position of the homeEChildren are keen Internet shoppers with more than half having bought something online, research has shown.Around 53 percent of children aged between 7 and 16 said they had bought something over the Internet, 10 percent more than in , according to Halifax.Boys were more likely to be Internet shoppers than girls, with 60 percent of boys saying they had bought items online, compared with just 46 percent of girls.Unsurprisingly, older children were more likely to use the Internet to shop than younger ones, with nearly three quarters of 12-16-year olds shopping online, compared to just 29 percent of 7-to-11-year olds who said they had bought something.More than half of children preferred buying things over the Internet to buying them on the high street, while 61 percent of those who had bought things online said itwas easier to buy certain items over the Internet than in shops.However, boys were more likely to always prefer buying things online, while girls were more likely to still like the actual high street shopping experience.The most common items for young people to buy over the Internet were CDs, tapes and computer games and equipment. Some children had bought DVDs and videos, while some had bought gifts.Children spent most money on computer games and equipment, with 13 percent saying they spent more than $20 online on these items a year, followed by 12 percent who spent more than $20 a year on mobile phones and 11 percent who spent the same amounts on clothes.Cheryl Millington, head of savings at Halifax, said, “ We are not only seeing the emergence of a generation of young consumers, but also keen cyber-consumers. While children often lead the way in Internet use within the family home, parents have an important role to play in ensuring they stay safe while online.〞73.

The boys refuse to “sit nicely like the girls” and are more likely to be addicted to “schoolboy tricks”. Women teachers may also unknowingly keep low expectations of boys' academic(学术上的) achievement and encourage girls to work harder by letting them think they are cleverer than boys. The study of primary schools in the county suggests that under-performance among boys in most national exams could be linked to lower expectations of their women teachers.The researchers did their research mainly on women teachers, since nearly 90 percent ofprimary school teachers are female. According to the research, women teachers said they often find boys play in the classroom or in the playground, such as playing with toy guns, “it is particularly challenging and difficult”. The researcher also found that boys are often punished and urged to follow a more feminine(女性的) style of play instead of being taught how to play responsibly with their favorite toys by their women teachers.Bonny Hartley, the study's lead author, said, “By seven or eight years old, children of both boys and girls believe that boys are less focused, less able, and less successful than girls—and think that adults admit this idea. There are signs that these expectations have the potential to become self-fulfilling in influencing children's actual behavior and achievement. Boys are really held back by their women teachers.”47. What’s the similar meaning of “hold back” in the passage?A. helpB. stopC. encourageD. stimulate48.What can be the best title for the passage?A. Boys Are Less Clever Than Girls in SchoolB. The Best Way to Deal with Naughty BoysC. Women Teachers Should Be Patient to BoysD. Boys Are Held Back by Women Teachers49. What is the women teachers' attitude towards boys?A. They encourage boys to work harder at their lessons.B. They keep the same expectations of boys and girls.C. They are always thinking that boys are not as clever as girls in class.D. They think boys are cleverer than girls in their studies.50. The reason why boys perform worse in most national exams than girls is that .A. girls are cleverer than boys in primary schoolsB. boys enjoy playing with toy guns in schoolC. boys are more careless when taking examsD. women teachers keep lower expectations of boys51. In which section of a newspaper can you read the passage?A. Education.B. Sports.C. Health.D. Economy.Passage CFifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathesbecause this woman is engaging with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each others’space. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.52. What happened when the author was about to take a photo?A. Her camera stopped working.B. A woman blocked her view.C. Someone asked her to leave.D. A friend approached from behind.53. According to the author, the woman was probably_______.A. enjoying herselfB. losing her patienceC. waiting for the sunsetD. thinking about her past54. In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?A. The rich color of the landscape.B. The perfect positioning of the camera.C. The soft sunlight that summer day.D. The woman’s existence in the photo.55. The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ________.A. the need to be close to natureB. the importance of private spaceC. the shared passion for beautyD. the joy of the vacation in Italy56. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon _______.A. a particular life experienceB. the pleasure of travelingC. the art of photographyD. a lost friendship六.翻译句子57. The researchers did their research mainly on women teachers, since nearly 90 percent of primary school teachers are female.___________________________________________________________________________ 58. Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view.___________________________________________________________________________ 七.任务阅读:Literature is a term used to describe written as well as spoken material. Generally speaking, it is often used to describe anything from creative imagination, including works of poetry, drama and fiction. Then why do we read literature, since it is often imaginary and seems unconnected with real life?A lot of us read literature for enjoyment and relaxation. It’s always pleasant to read some interesting books in our spare time. In a modern life full of stress, it is our common wish to read some imaginary works and look for relaxation from the stress in life.Reading literature is more than fun; it also allows us to get knowledge. As a general rule, literature represents a language of a people, and it often gives us an insight(洞察力) into the traditions, attitudes and values of the age in which it was written.Sometimes literature can even offer us new, creative ways to have a better understanding of the world. It introduces us to new worlds of experiences. We enjoy the comedy and the tragedy of poems, stories and plays; and we may even grow through our literary journey with books. Eventually, we may discover meaning in literature by looking at what the author says and how he/she says it. In some ways, we explore the human condition and analyze the way they think and feel the way they feel. Literature helps us think clearly and encourages us to open minds.So we can definitely say literature is of great importance to us. Why not get going with one poem, drama or fiction at once?八.书面表达:(40%)现今,许多大城市的人们都在抱怨交通拥堵。
