A Rocky Lyons was five years old when his mother, Kelly, was driving along the country road with him. He was asleep on the front seat of their truck, with his feet resting on her lap. As his mom drove carefully down the winding country road, she turned onto a narrow bridge. The truck hit a rock and slid off the road. She attempted to bring it back up onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal and turning the steering wheel to the left. But Rocky’s foot got caught between her leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the truck.[ /] The truck fell into a 20-foot ravine(峡⾕). When it hit bottom, Rocky woke up. “What happened, Mama?” he asked. “Our wheels are pointing toward the sky.” Kelly was seriously wounded and blinded by blood. “I’ll get you out, Mama,” announced Rocky, who had surprisingly escaped injury. He climbed out from under Kelly, slid through the open window and tried to yank(⽤⼒拉)his mother out. But she didn’t move. “Just let me sleep,” begged Kelly, who was out of consciousness. Rocky insisted, “Mom, you can’t go to sleep.” Rocky managed to push Kelly out of the truck and told her he’d climb up to the road and stop a car to get help. Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark, Kelly refused to let him go alone. Instead they slowly moved up to the road. The pain was so great that Kelly wanted to give up, but Rocky wouldn’t let her. Rocky kept repeating the inspirational phrase, “I know you can, I know you can.” When they finally reached the road, Rocky broke into tears seeing his mother’s torn face clearly for the first time. Waving his arms and shouting, “Please stop!”the boy stopped a truck. His mother was sent to hospital. It took 8 hours to rebuild Kelly’s face. She looks quite different today---“I used to have a straight long nose, thin lips and high cheekbones; now I’ve got a flat cheeks and much bigger lips”--- but she has few scars and has recovered from her injuries. Rocky’s heroics were big news. Everyone was surprised at this little boy’s power. “It’s not like I wanted it to happen,” The boy explained. “ I just did what anyone would have done.” “If it weren’t for Rocky, I’d have died,” said his mother. 56. According to the text, Rocky and Kelly _________ .A. were lost on a country roadB. had limited time to find their wayC. were involved in a truck accidentD. knew little of what happened to them 57. When he woke up, Rocky ___________ .A. was frightened by his mother’s bloodB. found his mother had fallen asleepC. was stuck against the door of the truckD. found the car was turned over 58. What happened to Kelly at last?A. She passed away.B. She survived and recovered from injuries.C. She became a hero.D. She had a different life. 59. What is the best title for the text?A. A Boy and His MotherB. How to Behave Well?C. I Think I CanD. Nothing is Lost B Even a small reduction in salt in the diet can be a big help to the heart. A new study used a computer model to predict how just three grams less a day would affect heart disease in the United States. The result: 10% fewer heart attacks, 8% fewer strokes, 4% fewer deaths, 11% fewer new cases of heart disease, and 240 billion dollars in health care savings. Researchers found it could prevent 100,000 heart attacks and 92,000 deaths every year. The study is in the New England Journal of Medicine. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo at the University of California, San Francisco was the lead author. She says people would not even notice a difference in taste with three grams, or one half teaspoon, less salt per day. The team also included researchers at Stanford and Columbia University. Each gram of salt contains four hundred milligrams of sodium(钠), which is how foods may list their salt content. The government says the average American man ears ten grams of salt a day. The American Heart Association advises no more than three grams for healthy people. It says salt in the American diet has increased fifty percent since the nineteen seventies, while blood pressures have also rise. Less salt can mean a lower blood pressure. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leading effort called the National Salt Reduction Initiative. The idea is to put pressure on food companies and restaurants. Critics call it government interference. Mayor Bloomberg has already succeeded in other areas, like requiring fast food places in the city to list calorie information. Now a study by the Seattle Children’s Research Institute show that the calorie information on the menu can influence what parents order for their children. 60. According to the passage, what disease is not related to salt in diet?A.Cancer.B. Stroke.C. Blood pressure.D. Heart attack. 61.It can be inferred from the passage that________. A. all the heart diseases result from eating too much salt B. the American Heart association suggest less than 3 grams of salt a day for everyone C. how much salt is contained in certain food is measured by the amount of sodium D. the less salt one eats, the healthier he will be 62.The National Salt Reduction Initiative aims to________. A. attract the public attention to the problem B. require fast food places to list salt information C. inform people of the harm that salt does to health D. put pressure on food companies and restaurants 63.The last paragraph mainly tells us________. A. Bloomberg has made some other efforts to improve people’s health B. Bloomberg is very successful in his career C. parents must pay great attention to calorie information D. a new study is being done about calorie information C With so many unique attractions, world-famous museums and skyscrapers, there is always plenty to do in New York. However, sightseeing in New York City might not be the easiest or the cheapest experience. This is why our team of real, life-long New Yorkers have created the New York Pass. If you want to discover the best of what this amazing city offers as well as save time and money during your visit, the New York Pass is something you should be interested in. In 2012, New York Passes have been used over 2,500,000 times. Get your Pass today and join the big savings it offers: 64. The purpose of this passage is to _________.A. promote New York PassB. introduce New York PassC. introduce New York attractionsD. show New York attractions tickets fee 65. What could be the lowest price for a Three-day adult pass and a Two-day child pass?A. $290.B. $246.5 .C. $263.D. $ 273.5. 66. Which of the following is true about New York Pass? A. Its holders can save up to $1300 entrance fees. B. Its holders needn’t pay for the attractions it covers. C. Its holders needn’t queue to enter the attractions it covers. D. It can be picked up at Times Square at any time after you order it. 67. The underlined phrase “are entitled to” most probably means “are given________ of”.A. the nameB. the privilegeC. the titleD. the honor D We all make excuses. But the successful ones are those who can kill the excuses like the miserable maggots they are. I’m too tired. I don’t have the time. I don’t feel motivated. I’d rather do nothing. I don’t have the money, equipment, space.I can’t because … We’ve all made the excuses. Here’s how to kill them. See the positive. Excuses are usually made because we don’t feel like doing something — we’re accentuating the negative. Instead, see the fun in something, the joy in it. And maintain a positive attitude, or you’ll never beat the excuses. Take responsibility. Excuses are ways to get out of owning up to something. If we don’t have the time, money, equipment, etc., then it’s not our fault, right? Wrong. Take responsibility, and own the solution. Find a solution. Just about every problem has a solution. Don’t have time? Start with just 5-10 minutes. Make the time. Wake earlier. Do it during lunch. Don’t have the energy? Do it when you have higher levels of energy. You’re smart. Figure out the solution. See your goal. This is your motivation — your reason for doing it. Sure, you could just lay on the couch, but if you think about why you really want to pursue a goal, you’ll be motivated. Visualize that goal and just get started. Be accountable. Have a workout partner, a project partner, a team, someone to report to. If you have to meet a coach or partner, you’re more likely to do something. Watch this. Then go an do it. 68.How many tips mentioned in the text to prevent excuses?A. FourB. ThreeC.SixD. Five 69.The second paragraph is developed mainly by _______ A. providing common examples. B. following the order of time. C. making comparisons of excuses. D. analyzing common excuses 70.The definition of the underlined word” visualize” would most probably be ______ A. to view the outline of something by means of an X-ray. B. to weaken or spoil the quality or efficiency of something. C. to form a mental image of something incapable of being viewed. D. to express the formal image of something capable of being seen. 71.Why do you need a partner according to the passage? A. because you are likely to make a report to someone. B. because it’ll be more possible for you to do something wih a partner. C. because you need a coach to help you do something. D. because you like to do something with a partner or a coach. E All around the world, shoppers flock to Wal-Mart to buy everything.In Texas, they come for another reason: to see the wind turbine(涡轮机) , which supplies 5% of the store's electricity.It along with other facilities, such as exterior walls coated with heat-reflective paint, makes this Wal-Mart a green giant. The laws of economics suggest that Wal-Mart, with 5, 200 stores worldwide, influences everything including the price of all kinds of goods.It throws its weight behind environmental responsibility, and the impact could be amazing."One little change in product packaging could save 1, 500 trees," says Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott."If everybody saves 1, 500 trees or 50 barrels of oil, at the end of the day you have made a huge difference." Scott wants Wal-Mart to do its part too.He has promised to cut the existing greenhouse-gas emissions (排放) over the next few years and promised to construct new stores that are more efficient.He wants Wal-Mart's fleet (车队) of more than 7, 000 trucks to get twice as many miles per gallon by 2015.Factories that show Wal-Mart they're cutting air pollution will get preferential treatment in the supply chain. Wal-Mart says it's working with consumer-product manufacturers to reduce their packaging and will reward them if they do so. Some people may doubt it is a bid to attract attention from Wal-Mart's controversial labor and health-insurance practices.But it's not just window dressing, because Wal-Mart sees profits in going green.Scott says, "This is a businessphilosophy, not a social philosophy.We don't go where we don't think there's a great interest in change." Like Bill Gates, who started his charitable foundation, Scott happens to be promoting Wal-Mart's image at a time when his company's reputation is declining.He acknowledges that he launched the plan partly to shield (保护，庇护) Wal-Mart from bad press about its contribution to global warming." By doing what we're doing today, we avoid the headline risks that are going to come for people who did not do anything," he says."At some point businesses will be held responsible for the actions they take." Meanwhile, should Wal-Mart succeed at shrinking its environmental footprint and lowering prices for green products, both the planet and the company will profit. 72. We can infer from the passage that ______. A. Lee Scott is Wal-Mart's CEO B. there are 5, 200 stores in the world C. Wal-Mart has a great influence on the world market D. Wal-Mart has more than 7, 000 trucks all over the world 73. What does the underlined sentence "This is a business philosophy, not a social philosophy." mean in the fourth paragraph? A. Wal-Mart predicts huge profits in its green activity. B. Wal-Mart's green activity is just window dressing. C. Wal-Mart aims to solve its health-insurance practices. D. Wal-Mart doesn't have any social responsibility at all. 74. What will Wal-Mart probably do in the future? A.Reduce air pollution in its present stores. B.Give favorable treatment to its consumers. C.Ask the factories to reduce their packaging. D.Demand the fleet of trucks to use more fuel than before. 75. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A.Provide the background of the green plan. B.Stress the purpose of Wal-Mart's green plan. C.Present the risk that Wal-Mart is facing nowadays. D.Analyze the similarity between Bill Gates and Scott.。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.（A）Being alone in outer space can be frightening. That is one reason why astronauts on solo（单独的）space flight were given plenty of work to keep them 45 . They were also in constant communication with people on the earth, 46 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine（潜水艇）voyages. It will also happen on 47 space flights in the future. Will there be special problems of adjustment under such conditions?Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of 48 is. When men are 49 together for a long period, they begin to feel uneasy. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time,however, these little habits may become very 50 .Apparently, although no one wants to be 51 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called a stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of 52 or stress.People who are well-adjusted are able to 53 stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in 54 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behaviour under stress.45．A．tiredB．asleepC．consciousD．busy46．A．So farB．After allC．HoweverD．Therefore47．A．longB．fastC．dangerousD．direct 48．A．fuelB．entertainmentC．adjustmentD．health 49．A．shut upB．held upC．brought upD．picked up 50．A．pleasingB．annoyingC．commonD．valuable 51．A．noisyB．aloneC．personalD．sociable52．A．emphasisB．conflictC．powerD．pressure53．A．handleB．createC．affectD．investigate54．A．becomingB．choosingC．orderingD．promoting（B）One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our schools: the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching. As a French graduate who has taught formore than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total. 55 the faults already found out in the education system as a whoie-such as child-centred learning, the “discovery”method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils-there have been several serious 56 which have a direct effect on language teaching.The first is the removal from the curriculum（课程）of the thorough teaching of English57 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so 58 that the most able pupils are 59 and are bored while the least able are lost and 60 Bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-ability school football teams.Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having 61 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have forgotten it a few years later. 62 they never need it, they do not practice it.Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 63 modem languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britaio to do the same, and stop 64 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need. 55．A．Due toB．In addition toC．Instead ofD．In spite of56．A．errorsB．situationsC．systemsD．methods57．A．vocabularyB．cultureC．grammarD．literature58．A．wideB．similarC．separateD．unique 59．A．kept outB．turned downC．help backD．left behind 60．A．surprisingly B．individuallyC．equallyD．regular 61．A．extraB．traditionalC．basicD．regular 62．A．AlthoughB．BecauseC．UntilD．Unless63．A．restoredB．absorbedC．prohibitedD．withdrawn64．A．wastingB．focusingC．exploitingD．sharingIV．Reading ComprehensionDirections：Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-Cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste icecream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester”for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream –as well as for developing over 75 flavors （味道）.Some people think that it would be casy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No –there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food –science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool”field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12 F. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,”he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the colour expected from that flavor?”Next it’s time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas、try out new flavors、and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrisonbusy but happy –working at once cool job.65．what is John Harrison’s job?A．An official.B．An ice-cream taster.C．A chemist.D．An ice-cream manufacturer.66．According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to .A．keep a diary of workB．have a degree in related subjectsC．have new ideas every dayD．find out new flavors each day67．What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?A．He stirs the ice cream.B．He examines the colour of the ice cream.C．He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.D．He lets the ice cream warm up.68．Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A．Tasting with EyesB．Flavors of Ice CreamC．John Harrison’s LifeD．One Cool Job（B）（You may read the questions first.）69．The Fresh Water series at 9 PM .A．explores the lakes, rivers and the creatures in themB．is devoted to the freshwater creatures in the worldC．explains the relationship among inhabitants on the earthD．focuses on the deepest river on the planet70．The phrase “stow away”most probably means“”A．hide secretlyB．talk excitedlyC．operate easilyD．guide successfully71．A mystery story adapted from Agatha Christie’s novel will be shown on .A．BBC1B．BBC2C．ITV1D．Channel 4（C）Mail carriers will be delivering some good news and some bad news this week.The bad news: Stamp prices are expected to rise 2 cents in May to 41 cents, the Postal Regulatory Commission announced yesterday. The good news: With the introduction of a “forever stamp,”it may be the last time Americans have to use annoying 2-or 3-cent stamps to make up postage diffcrences.Beginning in May, people would be able to purchase the stamps in booklets of 20 at the regular rate of a first-elass stamp. As the name implies, “forever stamps”will keep their first-class mailing value forever, even when the postage rate goes up.The new “forever stamp”is the United States Postal Service’（USPS）answer to the complaints about frequent rate increases. The May increase will be the fifth in a decade. Postal rates have risen because of inflation （通货膨胀），competition from online billpaying, and the rising costs of employee benefits, including healthcare, says Mark Saunders, a Spokesman for USPS.The USPS expects some financial gain from sales of the “forever stamp”and the savings from not printing as many 2-or 3-cent stamps. “It’s not your grandfather’s stamp,”says Mr. Saunders. “It could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp.”Other countries, including Canada, England, and Finland use similar stamps.Don Schilling, who has collected stamps for 50 years, he’s interested in the public’s reaction. “This is an entirely new class of stamps,”Mr. Schilling says. He adds that he’ll buy the stamps because he will be able to use them for a long period of time, not because they could make him rich-the volume printed will be too large for collectors. “We won’t be able to send our kids to college on these,”he says, laughing.The USPS board of governors has yet o accept the Postal Regulatory Commission’s decision, but tends to follow its recommendations. No plans have been announced yet for the design of the stamps.72．The main purpose of introducing a “forever stamp”is .A．to reduce the cost of printing 2-or 3-cent stampsB．to help save the consumers’cost on first-class mailingC．to respond to the complaints about rising postal ratesD．to compete with online bill paying73．By saying “It could be your great-grand children’s stamp”, Mr Saunders means that forever stamps .A．could be collected by one’s great-grandchildrenB．might be very precious in great-grandchildren’s handsC．might have been inherited from one’s great-grandfathers D．could be used by one’s great-grandchildren even decades later74．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．The investment in forever stamps will bring adequate reward.B．America will be the first country to issue forever stamps.C．The design of the “forever stamp”remains to be revealed.D．2-or 3-cent stamps will no longer be printed in the future. 75．What can be concluded from the passage?A．With forever stamps, there will be no need to worry about rate changes.B．Postal workers will benefit most form the sales of forever stamps.C．The inflation has become a threat to the sales of first-class stamps.D．New interest will be aroused in collecting forever stamps.（D）The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tens made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has usedcardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr Dunlop Graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.To raise money for the idea, he toured the City’s private companies which fund new businesses and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint’s directors and won their support. Mint has committed around ￡500,000 to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr Dunlop’s business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.Mr Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhab team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards, They can be Personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior（外部的）advertising space.The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants,with Glastonhury having some 150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious. 76．“Eco-friendly tents”in paragraph 1 refer to tents .A．economically desirableB．favorable to the environmentC．for holding music performancesD．designed for disaster relief77．Mr Dunlop established his business .A．independently with an interest-free loan from MintB．with the approval of the City’s administrationC．in partnership with a finance groupD．with the help of a Japanese architect78．It is implied in the passage that .A．the weather in the UK. Is changeable in summerB．most performances at British festivals are given in the open airC．the cardboard tents produced by Mr Dunlop can beuser-tailoredD．cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users 79．The passage is mainly concerned with .A．an attempt at developing recyclable tentsB．some efforts at making full use of cardboardsC．an unusual success of a graduation projectD．the effects of using cardboard tents on music festivals（E）Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.An interview with Wynton Marsalis, a noted jazz musician80．There were the older jazz musicians who hung around our house when I was young. I saw how much they practiced, how serious they were about their art. I knew then I had to work just as hard if I wanted to succeed. Of course, my father inspired me a lot, and many teachers took the time to nurture my latent and the talents of other students in our school.81．Yes. We’ve done such a poor job with music education because, as a society, we haven’t maintained the kind of education that a true artist and musician needs. Young people haven’t been able to equate romance and talent with music. For instance, most of the people who make it in the music industry today have to look good. How they sound is secondary. Sarah Vaughan, Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald —those big, romantic queens of jazz music wouldn’t make it in today’s music industry, and that’s a shame. We need to teach youngpeople about the alternatives.82．Around the would people make music that, if you listen carefully to it, sounds a little like the cadence of their language. I’d call it folk music. When I’m away from home, I make a point of listening to regional folk music, not what’s on the radio.83．The same music is on the radio all over the world, and the American sound is overwhelming. Even the pop music that’s produced and created in foreign countries has that American beat, that underscore of funk. As a musician, I’m not interested in hearing recycled versions of the same genre over and over. Any music that doesn’t have a development section just isn’t interesting to me.84．The music press has so much to introduce these days, and jazz is just a small fraction of it. Because some people are intimidated by jazz, they don’t cover it unless it’s a big name. New jazz musicians don’t get much of break. A lot of editors don’t say anything about jazz these days unless it’s Marsalis. That’s a shame. What VH1 is doing with their Save the Music campaign is phenomenal. They’re gettingall these instruments out to needy kids. It’s the kind of thing all networks should be doing.第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I．TranslationDirections:：Translate the following sentences into English using the words given in the brackets.1．他们的新房子离学校很远。

AIn 1978，I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately，the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I'd hitch a ride （搭便车）．I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally，a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn't give me a lift，I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使……放心）me I was safe，and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house，he made us sandwiches. After lunch，he helped me find a lift home.Twenty five years later，in 2003，while I was driving to a nearby town one day，I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat，trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I'd been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk，the man said to me，“You haven't changed a bit，even your red hair is still the same.”I couldn't remember where I'd met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.1. The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because ______.A．her work delayed her trip to SydneyB．she was going home for her holidaysC．the town was far away from SydneyD．she missed the only train back home2. Which of the following did Gordon do according to Paragraph 2?A．He helped the girl find a ride.B．He gave the girl a ride back home.C．He bought sandwiches for the girl.D．He watched the girl for three hours.3. The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that ______.A．she realized he was GordonB．she had known him for decadesC．she was going to the nearby townD．she wanted to repay the favour she once got4. What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?A．Giving sometimes produces nice results.B．Those who give rides will be repaid.C．Good manners bring about happiness.D．People should offer free rides to others.BIt happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，“a brilliantly（精彩地）written book”．However，he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't. In the World Book Day's “Report on Guilty Secrets”，Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading，and as I'm not one to lie too often（I'd hate to be caught out），I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that，unlike 42 percent of people，I have read the book at number one，George Orwell's 1984.I think it's really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen，Charles Dickens，Fyodor Dostoevsky（I haven't read him，but haven't lied about it either）and Herman Melville. Asked why they lied，the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in depth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy，people named J．K. Rowling，John Grisham，Sophie Kinsella（ah，the big sellers，in other words）．Forty--two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story（I'll come clean：I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so）．5. How did the author find his friend a book liar?A．By judging his manner of speaking.B．By looking into his background.C．By mentioning a famous name.D．By discussing the book itself.6. Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?A．Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.B．42% of people pretended to have read 1984.C．The author admitted having read 9 books.D．Dreams From My Father is hardly read.7. By lying about reading，a person hopes to ______.A．control the conversationB．appear knowledgeableC．learn about the bookD．make more friends8. What is the author's attitude to 58% of readers?A．Favorable.B．Uncaring.C．Doubtful.D．Friendly.CGiven that many people's moods（情绪）are regulated（调节）by the chemical action of chocolate，it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made thechocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine. Looking like a setting from the film Charlie& the Chocolate Factory，Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility（CRF）has over 100 varieties of chocolates. Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents' corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.If the CRF seems to be a smart idea，that's because Lee is not merely an experienced salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony. That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored（味道）chocolates.The CRF's produce is “green”，made within the country and divided into 10 lines，with the Alcohol Series being the most popular. The Exotic Series—with Sichuan pepper，red bean（豆），cheese and other flavors—also does well and is fun to taste. And for chocolate snobs，who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others，the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo，Cuba，Venezuela，and Ghana，among others.9. What is good about chocolate?A．It serves as a suitable gift.B．It works as an effective medicine.C．It helps improve the state of mind.D．It strengthens business relations.10. Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF?A．He knows the importance of research.B．He learns from shops of similar types.C．He has the support of many big names.D．He has a lot of marketing experience.11. Which line of the CRF produce sells best?A．The Connoisseur Series.B．The Exotic Series. C．The Alcohol Series.D．The Sichuan Series.12. The words “chocolate snobs” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to people who______. A．are particular about chocolateB．know little about cocoa beansC．look down upon othersD．like to try new flavorsDI got my first driver's license（执照）in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman. Henry and I were living in Baltimore, Maryland. Two weeks before my20th birthday, Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina driver's license, ready to renew, the man told me that I was under age by Mar yland law since I was not yet 21.“Mr.Henry Smith, your husband, will have to sign for you,”I argued, pointing to a very large belly（肚子）of mine, “I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive?”He answered coldly, “It's the law,madam.”Henry encouraged me to calm down, just go ahead and get the license and be done with it.“No,”I said. I refused to have him sign for me. So I left withoutaI called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail—using my name Susan Brown. And thus it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license. By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland, and I had to take the Marylanddriver's exam. Since then I just go in and renew every four years—sign the name Susan Brown, have my new picture taken,13. Susan got her first driver's license ______.A．before she got married to HenryB．when she was twenty years oldC．after she finished high schoolD．when she just moved to Maryland14. Susan failed to renew her license the first time in Maryland because ______. A．she was forbidden to drive by Maryland lawB．she lacked driving experience in MarylandC．she was to give birth to a baby soonD．she insisted on signing for herself15. We can infer from the text that in the U．S.______.A．American males should serve in the armyB．different states may have different lawsC．people have to renew their licenses in their home statesD．women should adopt their husbands' family names after marriage第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项。

She leaves behind her own life-long movieof ups and downs, marriage and divorce, and sickness and recovery. The world of entertainmentis mourning the death of the last classic movie star.Taylor died of congestive heart failure in Los Angeles at the age of 79.Taylor's more than 50 movies included unforgettable portraits of innocence and of decadence(堕落), from the children's classic "National Velvet"《玉女神驹》to Oscar-winning transgressions in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" 《谁怕弗吉尼亚·澳尔夫》and "Butterfield 8"《巴塔费尔德第八》.Fans gathered on Hollywood's Walk of Fame to pay tribute（讼词）to the actress. They placed tributes on her star and recalled about highlights of her career.Sandra, Hollywood, California, said, "Well, she just led an amazing life, and she went out with style."Phil Schuman, Repor ter of KTTV in Los Angeles, said, "Well, I mean, her whole life story: child star, remarkably beautiful, all the marriages, almost dying, then all of her great work with AIDS research, Michael Jackson's best friend. It's just a one-of-a-kind story, I think."Taylor was not only the most blessed actress, but also the most loyal of friends and defender of homosexuals in Hollywood. She won a special Oscar, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for her efforts to support AIDS research."Is this something that we can bear? No. The AIDS crisis is not over." Taylor once said.Taylor's private life is also a legend. She was a star at age 12, a bride and a divorcee at 16, a superstar at 19 and a widow at 26. She has married 8 times.

John Warner was the husband of Taylor at present 43．What is the author’s attitude towards Taylor?A. Indifferent.B. Objective.C. Positive.D. Negative.COver 500 dogs being delivered to a butcher house were saved by aChinese animal protection organization.The incident then triggered debate among Chinese netizens about thenecessity of pouring so much money and efforts into saving dogs.On Friday, a truck loaded with over 500 dogs were stopped by volunteersfrom animal protection organization on Jingha expressway Beijing section.Beijing Times reported these dogs were being delivered to slaughter houses in the city of Changchun, northeast Jilin province and would be eventually served on dinner tables.After negotiations with the truck driver, pet service provider Leepet Holding Corp. and a philanthropic fo undation, Shangshan Foundation purchased these dogs, each paying 50,000 yuan. Dogs were then delivered to the headquarter of China Small Animal Protection Association (CS APA), being taken care of and waiting for adoption.After the “dog saving mission” was reported, Chinese net users debate over whether saving dogs worth s o much efforts and money while there are still many poor and needy people in China lacking assistance.Some net users argue the dog saving mission is placing overt attention to animals while lots of needy people are still left unattended.A microblogger “Xiaowulaitajie” said on China’s twitter-like website, , “Dogs are saved, adopted and they attracted media spotlight. We'd better spend such money and take such efforts in helping the needy people.”Another microblogger, Liluping, said "We poured such huge sum of money into saving dogs. I would rather the money be spent on disaster relief."Some applaud volunteers’ actions and show eagerness of offering their helping hands to those saved dogs.Still many disapprove those "saving dogs" critics, but they argue that such act nonetheless embodies social progress.A microblogger named "broken bridge" said, saving dogs does not run counter to taking care of people. Such enthusiasm in public affairs will help raise social awareness in helping the needy.I think people and animals are created equal .Attention should be paid to people as well as animals.44.

After divorce, her parents shed the deepest protection and care to her by helping her attend to the child and offering financialaids. Her parents’ love made her pull herself together and forget the man who had hurt herbefore.Nonetheless, her father, an honest and upright old man, after hearing his ex-son-in-law got promoted in his company, felt terrifically irritated （激怒）and went to his company to question his boss why a philandering（沾花惹草的）man with corrupt conducts could get promoted. The whole office fell into a mess immediately and many staff just watched on the sidelines. Some people even whisper ed lightly, “It is a new era now and the relationship between men and women is very open. No one would care about that any more!”The old man stood silently in the office with his hands shivering and eyes tearing.That night, my girlfriend cried heavily in front of me. I asked her whether it was her father’s stupid deeds that made her feel shamed. But she said that she felt guilty for her dad and that though the rest of the whole world betrayed her, her old father would still back her up and help her get the justice she deserved, just as when she was young and the neighboring boy grabbed her ball, her father would get it back for her. However, this changed world was no longer the stage for her old father and his deeds became funnily obsolete（老式的）. No one managed to see the real and ever-lasting love to his daughter behind his seemingly rude behaviors.Now we have grown up, so much so that we could support our family and have our own children. But in our parents’ heart, they are still worried about us. They even would not like us to suffer a bit and try all means to protect us without caring about whether what they do is awkward and stupid or not.Who in the world would love us so deeply and relentlessly without asking for any repay? Only our parents!48.

What does the author want to tell us in the passage?A. No love can compare with parents’ love.B. An unforgettable experience in life.C. Father’s times have been passed.D. The life of the friend after her divorce.EOver the years I’ve b een teaching kids about a simple but powerful spirit—the ant philosophy(哲学)．I think we should study ants．Ants have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part：they never quit．That’s a good philosophy. If they’re headed somewhere and you try to stop them，they’ll look for another way．They’ll climb over, and they’ll climb around．They keep looking for another way．What a neat philosophy to never quit looking for a way to get where they’re supposed to go．Second，ants think winter all summer. Th at’s an important perspective（态度，观点）．You can’t be so naive （无知的）as to think summer will last forever．So ants are gathering their winter food in summer．An ancient story says, “Don’t build your house on the sand in summer．”There is some reason in what it say s．It is important to think ahead．In summer, you’ve to think about the storm．You’ve got to think about rocks you enjoy the sand and sun．The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think summer all winter．That is so important．During the winter, ants remind themselves，“This won’t last long；we’ll soon be out of here．”And on the first warm day，the ants are out．If it turns cold again，they’ll go back，but then they come out again if it is warm．They can’t wait to get out．And here is the last part of the ant philosophy. How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that he possibly can．What an incredible(难以置信的)philosophy, the “all-that-you-possibly-can” philosophy．What a great philosophy to have the ant philosophy! Never give up，look ahead，stay active and do all you can．52．If ants have trouble reaching somewhere, they will_________．A．give up their effort at last B．1ook for others’ helpC. wait for a chance to come D．get there in another way53．In Paragraph 3，people are advised __________．A．to build their houses in winter B．to gather some food in winterC．to build the house on the sand in summer D．to think about the storm in summer54．The third part of the ant philosophy is ___________．A．more important than the other three B．to believe in yourself and think about no difficultyC．to be active and make use of every opportunity D．that we should know winter is longer than summer 55．Which of the following shows the “all-that-you-possibly can” philosophy?A．We should try our best to do what we can．B．One should think of what will happen in the future．C．One should get more pay for what he has done．D．We should spend more time doing our work．四、书面表达（共1题）最近因为日本的福岛核电站爆炸，中国有20多个省份都发现了核辐射，对此人们很是惊慌。

Dear Editor, We took part in a voluntary activity organized by our school last Sunday. We gathered at the Peace Square, passing leaflets to passers-by from which they can learn what the earthquake is and how to protect themselves against the earthquake. The leaflets drew the attention of the public to the damage that an earthquake can cause and told them to take action in a right and efficient way. Some made a public speech, telling people about the best place they can hide in when an earthquake occurs.

英语试题第I卷第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将选项涂黑。

AThe Gloria Barron Prize honors American young people from 8 to l8 who have shown leadership and courage in public service．Each year ten winners each receive$2，000 to support their higher education or their service work．Ellie Wen，18，was volunteering at a community center in Los Angeles．The center was set up to help immigrant families．She happened to meet adults in an EFL(English as a foreign language)class．“When I saw them struggling hard，I wondered how people in poor countries could learn English，”Ellie said．So she started a Website，“Repeat After Us”，where people can listen to English and practice their accents．V olunteers have helped Ellie record more than 6，600 texts，including Abraham Lincoln’s“Gettysburg Address”．Hard work pays off．There were so many times that Ellie was discouraged，but she stuck to it．The Website crashed early on，and all the recordings were lost．But volunteers worked together vigorously to start over，and the visitors returned to the site．“Just follow your idea and know that the world is so kind．Even if you do have trouble，people will help you,”Ellie said．“I was really excited the first month，when we had 49 visitors，”she said．Now，more than 480，000 people from a11 over the world have visited the site．“I get e-mails from China，Egypt，India，and Brazil．”They say，“Thank you so much for this resource，we’ve been waiting for it for so long!”Ellie loves knowing she is helping so many people．Gloria Barron Prize winners like Ellie are enthusiastic about the work they do．And they encourage others to join in if they see a need．Anybody can be negative，but it needs somebody brave to be positive．Are you the brave one？21．Choose the right order of the following．a．Ellie started a Website，Repeat After Us．b．Ellie happened to meet adults in an EFL class．c．All the recordings were lost．d．Ellie became a Gloria Barron Prize winner．e．More than 480，000 people from all over the world visited the site．A．c—b—a—e—d B．a—e—d—c—b C．b—a—c—e—d D．b—c—a—e—d 22．Which of the following statements is true?A．The Gloria Barron Prize honors people showing leadership and courage．B．Each year ten winners share US$2，000 to support their higher education．C．Ellie Wen was badly paid at a community center in Los Angeles．D．People can practice their English via Ellie’s website．23.The writer mainly talks about_____．A．how to open up a website with the help of othersB．how to teach immigrant families English via the InternetC．the Gloria Barron Prize and the story of one of its winnersD．young people who help others in various waysBCell phones：Is there a cancer link?Could your cell phone give you cancer? Whether it could or not，some people are worrying about the possibility that phones，power lines and Wi-Fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses，from rashes to brain tumors．Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties．David Carpenter，a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany，in New York，thinks there’s a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia(白血病)．Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cell phones can cause brain tumors．“It’s apparent now that there’s a real risk，”said Carpenter．But others believe these concerns are not justified．Dr Martha Linet，head of radiation epidemiology(流行病学)at the US National Cancer Institute，has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion．“I don’t support warning labels for cell phones，”said Linet．“We don’t have the evidence that there’s much danger．”Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs(电磁场)and illness—so weak that it might not exist at a11．A multinational investigation of cell phones and brain cancer，in 13 countries outside the US，has been underway for several years．It’s funded in part by the European Union，in part by a cell phone industry group．The final report should come out later this year，but data so far don’t suggest a strong link between cell phone use and cancer risk．24．From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because________.A．they have evidence that the use of cell phones can lead to cancerB．they feel surprised and alarmed about cell phone useC．some experts have given a warningD．cell phones are responsible for brain tumors25．By saying“I don’t support warning labels for cell phones，”Dr Martha Linet has the idea that_______.A．the worrying is unnecessaryB．cancer—warning labels should be on cell phonesC．there is a link between cell phones and cancerD．cell phones have nothing to do with cancer26．Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate? A．Optimistic．B．Objective．C．Opposite． D．Casual．27．The underlined word“justified”in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to_____．A．explained B．confirmed C．classified D．restrictedCCan you believe your eyes?A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age．Martin Doherty，a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland，led the team of scientists．In this experiment，Doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力)of some people，using pictures of some orange circles．The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people．The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10，and the second group included 24 a—dults aged 18 to 25．The first group of pictures showed two orange circles alone on a white background．One of the circles was larger than the other，and these people were asked to identify the larger one．Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time．Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time．Next，both groups were shown pictures where the orange circles，again of different sizes，were surrounded by gray circles．Here’s where the trick lies．In some of the pictures，the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles—making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle，which was the real larger one．And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles—so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle．When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures，they weren’t fooled—they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before．Older children and adults，on the other hand，did not do as well．Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one，and adults got it wrong most of the time．As children get older，Doherty said，their brains may develop the ability to identify visualcontext．In other words，they will begin to process the whole picture at once：the tricky gray circles，as well as the orange circle in the middle．As a result，they’re more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick．28．Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate______．A．Children’s and adults’eye-sightB．people’s ability to see accuratelyC．children’s and adults’brainsD．the influence of people’s age29．When asked to find the larger circle，_____．A．children at 6 got it wrong 79％of the time with no gray ones aroundB．only adults over 18 got it right 95％of the time with gray ones aroundC．children at 4 got it right about 79％of the time with gray ones aroundD．adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around30．According to the passage，we can know that_____．A．a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white backgroundB．an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same sizeC．a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real sizeD．a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size31．Why are younger children not fooled?A．Because they are smarter than older children and adults．B．Because older people are influenced by their experience．C．Because people’s eyes become weaker as they grow older．D．Because their brain can hardly notice related things together．DAs you are probably aware，the latest job markets news isn’t good：Unemployment is still more than 9 percent，and new job growth has fallen close to zero．That’s bad for the economy，of course．And it may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careers right now．But it actually shouldn’t matter to you nearly as much as you think．That’s because job growth numbers don’t matter to job hunters as much as job staff-turnover(人员流动)data．After all，existing jobs open up every day due to promotions，resignations，and retirements．(Yes，people are retiring even in this economy．)In both good times and bad，staff-turnover creates more openings than economic growth does．Even in June of 2007，when the economy was still booming along，job growth was only 132，000，while staff-turnover was 4．7 million!And as it turns out，even today—with job growth near zero—over 4 million job hunters are being hired every month．I don’t mean to imply that overall job growth doesn’t have an impact on one’s ability to land a job．It’s true that if total employment were higher．it would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from(and compete for)．And it's true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening，regardless of whether it’s a new one or not．But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don’t is their ability to stay motivated．They’re willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills；be creative about where and how to look；learn how to present themselves to potential employers；and keep going，even after repeated rejections．The Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that 2．7 million people who wanted and were availa ble for work hadn’t hunted for it within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed．So don’t let the headlines fool you into giving up．Four million people get hired every month in the U．S．You can be one of them32．The author tends to believe that high unemployment rate____．A．takes job opportunities from peopleB．prevents many people from changing careersC．should not stop people from looking for a jobD．does not mean the U．S. economy is worsening33．What does the author say about overall job growth?A．It doesn’t have much effect on individual job seekers．B．It increases people’s confidence in the economy．C．It gives a ray of hope to the unemployed．D．It doesn’t mean greater job security for the employed．34．What is the key to finding a job according to the author?A．Education B．Intelligence C．Persistence D．Experience35．What do we learn about The Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment data?A．They clearly indicate how healthy the economy is．B．They provide the public with the latest information．C．They warn of the structural problems in the economy．D．They don’t include those who have stopped looking for a job．第二节(共5小题：每小题2分，满分l0分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

APioneering front-row White House journalist Helen Thomas died at age 92 after a long illness. Thomas covered 10 presidents over nearly half a century, and became a legend in the industry.She was always at White House news conferences —sitting front and center —where she frequently annoyed government spokesmen with her pointed questions. Thomas began covering the White House for United Press International when John F. Kennedy became president in 1961 and was a fixture there until her retirement in 2010.In a written statement, Obama called Thomas a “true pioneer*’ and said she kept the presidents she covered — including himself — on their toes.Thomas, the daughter of Lebanese immigrants, was born in Winchester, Kentucky, on August 4,1920. She was one of nine children. Thomas was raised in Detroit, where she attended Wayne State University and graduated with a bachelor's degree in 1942. In describing her job, Thomas once said, “I’ve never covered the president in any way other th an that he is ultimately responsible.”' Thomas embraced the freedoms of a columnist with vigor ($£>&). question scemeJ. off-limits for her. Colleagues remember her as a genuinely fearless woman who asked the toughed questions of presidents, no matter their party.In January 2009, as President George Bush was preparing to leave office, Thomas aimed her editorial guns at him and his administration. In a commentary, she slammed (抨击) Bush for wha t she considered his failings, including leading the country “into a senseless war against Iraq, a calamity still under way as he leaves office almost sixyears after the invasion.” She considered him “the worst president ever.”1. According to the text, Helen Thomas was .A. a wise politicianB. a writing pioneerC. a legendary journalistD. a White House adviser2. The underlined word “fixture” in Paragraph 3 proba bly meansA. an object firmly fixed in placeB. a person regarded fixed in the same positionC. someone to fix tricky problemsD a device to secure something somewhere3. What can we learn about Helen Thomas from the text?A. She covered 10 presidents over a period of 49 years.B. She often raised unreasonable questions.C. She was born and brought up in Lebanon.D. She was criticized by President Obama.4. How did Thomas comment on George Bush?A. He should be kept on his toes.B. He was forced to be responsible.C. He didn’t deserve to be president.D. He shouldn't have started the Iraq War.BEnergy drinks arc as harmful as drugs and should be banned from schools, according to a British government adviser.Drinks such as Monster, Red Bull and Relentless combine sugar and caffeine（咖啡因）in such high quantities that children arc becoming hyperactive (过度活跃的) anddifficult to control. Some 500ml cans contain the equivalent of more than 13 teaspoons of sugar and 160mg of caffeine — which is about the same as in four cans of cola.Yesterday, government adviser John Vincent warned, “Energy drinks are effectively another form of drugs. It has a hugely damaging effect on children’s ability to concentrate, bow they feel and it is having health effects."Evidence from teachers and pupils is that children who drink these cans may report feeling sick, shaky and dizzy. Claire Duggan, a school public health adviser, said some children report feeling unwell after downing the drinks.Ian Fenn, headmaster of Burnage Media Arts College in Manchester, has banned the drinks following requests from staff.He told BBC, “Staff came to me and said at a school where we are very conscious about the nutritional value of what students eat. We can't allow boys to bring in drinks that are really unhealthy for them and consume not one, but two or three."Some children even choose to have an energy drink for breakfast rather than a bowl of cereal. A survey published recently found that one in 20 teenagers goes to school on a can of energy drink.A British Soft Drinks Association spokesman said, “We arc clear that energy drinks are not recommended for children, and we want to get that message across to young people and parents.”5. What do we know about drinks like Red Bull from the text?A. They contain about four times as much sugar and caffeine as Coca-Cola.B. They bring about health benefits as well as side effects.C. They distract children from other kinds of drinks.D. They make children more energetic and active.6. According to the text, some British schoolchildren •A. have energy drinks for their mealsB. feel unwell after drinking energy drinksC. are hard to control when choosing their drinksD. are aware of the nutritional value of their drinks7. What can be inferred from the text?A. Energy drinks do not affect adults at all.B. Parents request Ian Fenn to ban energy drinks.C. Burnage Media Arts College is concerned about students' health.D. All children drinking energy drinks report the same symptoms.8. The text mainly tells us that energy drinks .A. do as much damage as medicineB. can cause children to feel uneasyC. contain too much of nutrientsD. harm kids and should be banned from schoolsCLet’s say your company has a problem and needs a creativ e solution. A common approach is to gather your best people in a room to brainstorm. Ideas are batted around, and, in theory, the best answer emerges.But it doesn’t always work that way. Plenty of research has proven the limitation of brainstorming as members can only talk in turn. Groups tend to generate fewer ideas than individuals.Psychologist Tony McCaffrey has a solution to our troubled search for solutions. He calls it “brainswarming”, which he has trademarked. His pilot research has found that brainswarming generates more than four times as many ideas as brainstorming.A group starts with a large surface — perhaps a whiteboard — and puts a goal at the top if it A few resources to address the problem are listed at the bottom. No talking is allowed.While it may seem silly not to talk, there are several improvements with McCaffrey’s approach.There’s a natural division of labor as people can focus on what they re best at. Atop-down thinker might work near the top of the chart, while others may work at the bottom on thinking of potential resources. This alleviates（减轻）the inefficiency of traditional brainstorming, where the conversation is focused on a single topic.With brainswarming, those who are shy aren't as likely to get bored like in traditional conversations, where the outgoing people tend to grab the floor. All ideas stand on equal footing. Everyone can place their Post-It Notes (便利贴) on the board. Worthy ideas brought up early in a meeting won’t be forgotten as a wealth of new ideas crowd the conversation later. These ideas will always be on the board, for everyone to notice and consider.9. What do people do when they brainstorm for a solution?A. They discuss common approaches.B. They propose solutions one by one.C. They select the best people to debate.D. They explore unique ways to solve the problem.10. When brainswarming, people___________.A. search for potential resourcesB. work on the same goal put on fee boardC. write down their ideas and stick them on the boardD. identify each other’s strengths and divide labour accordingly11. Which is NOT an advantage of brainswarming?A. It helps to raise work efficiency.B. It produces over four times as many ideas.C. It keeps all worthy ideas on the board.D. It encourages shy people to speak out12. Which is the best title for this text?A. A Breakthrough in Marketing ScienceB. Brainswarming, the Science for Growing IdeasC. Brainswarming Has Been TrademarkedD. Brainstorming and brainswanning DifferDDear March — Come inHow glad I am-I hoped for you before ...Who knocks?

She lived in almost complete isolation from the outside world.She admired the poetry of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, as well as John Keats Though she was dissuaded (劝阻) from reading the poetry of her contemporary Walt Whitman by rumors of its disgracefulness, the two poets arc now connected by die distinguished place they hold as the founders of a uniquely American poetic voice. While Dickinson was extremely prolific (多产的) as a poet, she was not publicly recognized during her lifetime. Upon her death, Dickinson’s family discovered forty hand-bound volumes of nearly 1,800 poems. Her younger sister began to share the enormous body of work that Emily behind.Emily’s odd punctuation, capitalization, and formatting did not meet with standard publishing "approval” for earlier editions.

AThese days having a best friend seems so important to girls. However I have learned that having one best friend is not the way to go. It's so much better to have many great friends.As I was coming into Middle School, I was really excited because my friend Jennifer was going to be in the same Middle School! At first things were great, she introduced me to her friend Amy and we had lots of fun together. Then things started to change. Jennifer was very controlling: I couldn't make new friends, and pretty soon being Jennifer's friend was a struggle.Jennifer wanted to be the "leader" of our little group. Amy and I were never partners with each other in class projects or gym; it was always, "Who gets the privilege（特权）of being Jennifer's partner." Amy and I both wanted to be Jennifer's number one.I always waited for Jennifer and Amy after classes. They chatted by Jennifer's desk as Jennifer packed her books up and I waited by the door. Sometimes when they left, they'd walk right past me. No "Thanks for waiting." No "Sorry we took so long." It was as if they couldn't even see me.After months of living through school this way, I had really changed. I was moody, depressed, lonely. I spent lots of days trying not to cry, I felt so left out.Finally, near the very end of the school year, I was so incredibly sick of having to battle for friendship. I stopped sitting with Jennifer at lunch and stopped waiting for her after class.It was tough at first, but now, I have tons of friends. We have fun and happy times together and I love them all to bits. It amazes me how easy our friendship is. There's no struggling to be on top. I wish Jennifer could understand. Maybe one day she'll look back at what happened and she'll change, but even though I lost a friend, I am a happier person.21. What is the purpose of the writer writing this passage?A. to describe her school lifeB. to criticize the way Jennifer treated her friendsC. to show her regret towards losing a friend.D. to advise girls to make many friends instead of one22.What does the sentence “Things started to change” refer to?A. The writer lost interest in study.B. Lessons became more and more difficult.C. Being Jennifer’s friend beca me a struggle.D. The writer gave up the friendship with Jennifer.23. What can be implied from the last paragraph?A. The writer regretted a lot about losing a friend.B. Jennifer has changed herself.C. All of the writer’s new friends are equal.D. The school life is always difficult for the writer.BIs packing important to you?A young man was ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car. Knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.As Graduation Day approached, his anxiety grew. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his study and handed him a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?", then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family. Realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Then, a telegram arrived, telling him his father had passed away, and willed all his possessions to the son.When he arrived at home, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the bible and turned the pages. From the back of the Bible dropped a car key. It had a tag with the dealer's name and the words… "PAID IN FULL".How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? Remember, what may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.24.As graduation day approached the young man became anxious, because______.A. the young man’s father was seriously ill.B. he was anxious to know whether he had passed the exams.C. he was anxiously waiting for the new carD. he felt upset to leave college25.

For a while, silence fell.“I thought that we had a lot of topics to share, but few people were really interested in talking,” she said. “It seemed that there’s a big gap between me and those with hand-held devices (设备)” .Shuai is not the only one feeling segregated from others by mobile technology. According to a latest survey of hundreds of teenagers in Hong Kong 54.29 percent of them would use cellphones while having dinner with their families. It has affected relationships with their parents. It suggests that while technology such as cell phones, e-mails, and Internet posting has made us feel more connected than ever, they’re also driving us away from people around us.Sherry Turkle, author of the article in The New York Times says people are now used to a new way of being “alone together.”Actually, sending text messages or writing micro blogs allows us to exchange thoughts. But online connection cannot replace a “real conversation”.Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would li ke to hear people’s voice and see their faces in a conversation. “The exchange of ideas in a conversation sharpens our minds,” she said. She also mentions that burying ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangers and meeting people.However, experts remind us that it’s unfair to blame mobile technology. Chen Chen, a sociology expert points out that, it is still the mobile owners who’re avoiding personal contact.We ourselves use these devices to hide ourselves from others. Texting or calling may be an excuse to avoid contact with others, such as having eye contact. “The way to improve conversation is by understanding each other. Simply throwing away mobilephones is not a solution,” she said.32.The best title for the passage would be “_____________”.A. Mobilephone addictionB. Development of mobile technologyC.

We can better conversation by means of understanding each other.35. Who thinks the exchange of thoughts in a real conversation make us cleverer?A. Shuai YunyunB. Sherry TurkleC. Lan GuoD.

2015年高三模拟考试英语试题全国卷1第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AIf the word researcher brings to mind someone who works in a laboratory doing experiments or reads a11 day in a librar y,then meet Dr.Sylvia Earle.Dr.Earle has carried out much of her research deep under the sea.Her outstanding work at sea ha s included leading around 70 expeditions(探索)and spending over 6,500 hours under the water. She also holds the world record for the deepest walk alone on the ocean floor at a depth of 381 metres.It’s no wonder she ha s been given the nickname“Her Deepness”.As a child,Dr.Earle was always interested in wildlife and was never afraid to find out about nature.Her parents told her to touch animals and insects,and not to be afraid of them.When she was older,she was given the opportunity to develop this int erest thanks to scho1arships to study botany at university.She also took courses in sea diving and decided to devote herself t o marine(海洋的)biology.It was this decision and her determined character that led her to have a truly remarkable career.After several years of diving,Dr.Earle took part in a research expedition in an underwater laboratory.The laboratory was called a Tektite Habitat and it allowed divers to remain under the water to carry out research for weeks at a time.In 1970 an all-female group went on the sixth expedition of the Tektite II scientists-in-the-water programme.Dr.Earle was asked to lead the expedition.Along with another four women-three scientists and an engineer-she stayed in the Tektite Habitat for two wee ks.Marine life has always been at the centre of Dr.Earle’s work and she is highly respected for her authority in this field.She i s often asked to give talks by environmental groups about marine life as well as her plan to create a global network of marin e protected areas. What makes her extra special is that she doesn’t look upon her work as a job,but as her vocation(天职)in life.21.In what way is Dr.Earle different from most researchers we know about?A.She works in a laboratory doing experiments all day.B.She reads all day in a library.C.She carries out much of her research deep under the sea.D.She has broken lots of world records.22.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2？A.Dr.Earle’s interest in wildlife led her to a truly remarkable career.B.Dr.Earle’s success is chiefly due to her family background.C.Dr.Earle’s success is chiefly due to the scholarships to study botany at university.D.V arious factors have contributed to Dr.Earle’s success.23.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 3？A.Five women took part in the expedition.B.Five scientists took part in the expedition.C.Dr.Earle was an ordinary member of the group.D.The group stayed under water for three weeks.24.What does Dr.Earle hope to achieve in the future?A.To keep marine life at the centre of her work.B.To create protected areas in the oceans around the world.C.To travel around the world giving talks.D.To look upon her work as her vocation in life.BA paperclip,made of steel wire bent into a looped()shape,is an instrument used to hold sheets of paper toget her.This common device is a wonder of simplicity and function.But where did this simple,cheap,and practical invention co me from?In the late 19th century,the most common way to hold papers together was by using a pin.Although the pin was an ine xpensive tool and was easily removable,it would 1eave holes in the ter,as steelvwire became more common,invent ors began to notice its elastic()feature.With this feature,it could be stretched and twisted into various clip-like objects.In the years just before 1900,quite a few paperclip designs appeared.The name most frequently associated with the paperclip invention is Johan Vaaler,a Norwegian inventor.However,Vaaler’s clips were not the same as the paperclips curr entlyin use.Specifically,they did not have the inside loop we see today.The familiar looped design was invented by Gem Manuf acturing Ltd.in England.This clip is therefore sometimes known as the Gem clip.Because of Vaaler,the paperclip played an important historical role in Norway.During World War II,Norway was occu pied by the Nazis.Norwegians were prohibited from wearing any symbol of their national unity(),such as buttons wi th the initials of their king.Thus,in protest,they started wearing paperclips to show their unity.The reason for doing this was simple:Paperclips were a Norwegian invention whose original function was to bind together.After the war,a giant papercli p statue was put up in Oslo to honour Vaaler—even though his design was never actually produced.25.According to the first paragraphthe paperclip is________.A.made of paperB.for holding clothes togetherC.shaped like a pinD.inexpensive and useful26.One way the paperclip is better than the pin is that_________A.it is cheaperB.it is simplerC.it doesn’t damage the paperD.it can be removed more easily27.Which of the following best shows what the Gem clip looks like?28.The last paragraph is mainly about_________.A.how widely used Vaaler’s clip isB.how V aalers clip became a national symbolC.how the Nazis ruled the Norwegian peopleD.why Norwegians had the initials of their king on their buttonsCI was born on the last day of February.I’ve always felt sorry for February,squeezed between the big months of January( named for the Roman god Janus,keeper of gateways)and March(after Mars,the god of war).The first Roman calendar,it is said,had 10 months and no February.Beginning at the vernal equinox()with March,i t ended with December.In an agricultural society,winter was of little importance,and thus went undivided.January and February were added about 700 B.C.by the second king of Rome,Numa Pompilius.He made all the months 29 or 31 days,but shortened February,the last month of the year,by giving it only 28.Next,it was the church’s turn.In 1582 Pope Gregory XIII announced a new calendar in Europe.Many changes were ma de,but the Pope passed up yet another chance to give February equality with the other months.It’s messy,even dangerous,changing how we measure time,but Pope Gregory was hardly the last one to try.The League o f Nations received over 150 new calendar designs,and the United Nations has considered more proposals since.Each propos al involves something that supposedly modernizes the calendar.But I have a simpler proposal that won’t lead to chaos,and will correct the historical injustices against Februarymove the last day of January and the last day of March into February to make it a normal month with 30 days,and a respecta ble 31 on leap years().This would not add or subtract a single day from the calendar year.It’s a great idea.And unlike J ulius and Augustus,I won’t even demand a month named in my honor.29.The first Roman calendar had only 10 months because_________.A.February hated to be squeezed between the big monthsB.the god of war always fought with January and FebruaryC.the Romans did not like the cold winter weatherD.it was Considered unnecessary to divide winter30.Which of the following is closest to Numa Pompilius’calendar?31.The writer sounds_____in the passage.A.sadB.humorousC.happyD. angryDOne important thing during the pre-Christmas rush at our house was the arrival of my daughter’s kindergarten report car d.She got high praise for her reading,vocabulary and overall enthusiasm.On the other hand,We learnt that she has work to do on her numbers and computer skills,though the detailed handwritten report her teachers prepared is absent of any words tha t might be interpreted as negative()in describing her efforts.A number System indicates how she’s measuring up in e ach area without any mention of passing or failing.The debate over whether formal grades should be given to kids has long existed.At one level,the advantages and disadva ntages are obvious.A grade system provides a straightforward standard by which to measure how your child is progressing a t school--and how he or she is getting on compared to other children.But as writer Sue Ferguson notes,Grades can deceive. ()The aim should be”to measure learning,not simply what a student can remember on a test.”The two aren’t the same-and if you doubt that as an adult,ask yourself whether you could sit down without any preparation and still pass those high-s chool-level examinations.If you’re old enough,You’ve lived through this debate before.At one time,it was considered unfair to put children in dire ct competition with one another if it could be avoided.The intention behind that may have been good,but it ignored the fact t hat competition,and the will to come out on top,are essential components of the human condition.32.Which of the following seems to be weak on the daughter’s kindergarten report card?A.Reading.B.V ocabulary.C.Enthusiasm.D.Numbers.33.what did the teachers try to do when preparing the report card?A.Avoid using negative words.B.Describe the facts as they really were.e numbers instead of words.D.Avoid showing weak areas.34.What does the writer suggest by the underlined part in Paragraph 2?A.Most adults can pass high-school-level examinations without preparation.B.There’s no doubt that most high-school-level examinations measure learning.C.As an adult,you should not doubt your ability to pass high-school-level examinations.D.It’s difficult for most adults to pass high-school-level examinations without preparation.35.Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with?A.Schools should not give formal grades to kids.B.Schools should give formal grades to kids.C.Giving formal grades to kids has no disadvantages at a11.D.It’s unfair to put children in direct competition with one another.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。
