It was the Lake Shore Drive road bridge, so when Chicago city authorities discovered Dorsay living inside the bridge's steel s1ructurc last month. They had no choice but to drive him away.He had been living in the bridge for three years. lie also furnished it with a television, a microwave and a PlayStation, and borrowed power from the municipal（市政的）electricity supply. But that wasn’t the most extraordinary thing. The most extraordinary thing was that the Lake Shore Drive Bridge is a drawbridge.“The first time, it was scary,” Dorsay told a reporter from the Chicago Sun-Times, recalling how a bell would ring and his home would tip into the air, allowing ships to pass along the Chicago River below. “After that, it was almost like riding a ferry’s wheel.” Brian Steele, a spokesman for the Chicago Department of Transportation, puts it more straightforwardly. “Essentially,” he says, “it changed his living space from horizontal（水平的）to vertical.”Dorsay had a history of homelessness and emotional problem. But in the bridge. He thought, he had finally found a kind of stability. “You’ve got to be kind of agile（敏捷的）,” he admitted. “But it doesn’t take genius to figure out what to do.” Dorsay is now without a home, though he is currently staying with his parents. Gary, his father, said, “I’ve always hoped that he would find a place and he would seek employment. He is strong enough and bright enough to do something.”24．According to Richard Dorsay, why did he like living in the bridge? _____A．It was free. B．He felt more secure there.C．It was an extraordinary thing. D．He liked scary things.25．What did city authoritics do when they found Dorsay living in a bridge? _____A．They advised him to leave.

B．His living space was vertical.C．It was steel structured. D．It was not it safe place to live.CTougher prison sentences reduce crime, particularly burglary, according to research. The study, by researchersat Birmingham University, also finds that during periods when police discover more offences, crime tends to fall overall, suggesting that the level of police activity has a direct effect on criminal activity.The researchers concluded that an increase of just one month in the average sentence length for burglaries -from 15.4 to 16.4 months-would reduce burglaries in the following year by 4 800, out of an annual total of 962 700.For frauds（诈骗）,an increase in sentences from 9.7 to 10.7 months would result in a reduction of 4 700 offences a year, out of 242 400. The report declares this to be “a significant effect, especially when we consider that the length of sentence usually corresponds to approximately half the actual time spent in custody（拘留）”.The study also estimates that a policy of forcing criminals to serve a higher percentage of their sentences in prison would have a further amazing effect on cutting crime, in part because more criminals would be behind bars for longer.The report says there is undeniable evidence that more continuous and effective policing cuts crime. “More uncovering is associated with great reductions in crime. It plays a continuous role in preventing crime,” says the study, which found that a 1% increase in the uncovering rate would prevent 26 000 burglaries, 85 000 thefts, 2 500 robberies and 1 800 frauds a year.However, the director of campaigns at the Howard League, Andrew Neilson, questioned the claims. “The effect of prison on reducing crime has never been proven and this research falls short of doing so,” Neilson said. “There are numerous international examples of jurisdictions（司法管辖区）which have experienced both falls in crime and falls in prison numbers.”“Factors such as a good economy, more expenses spent on security operation and improved home security had greater roles to play in the fall in crime in England and Wales than an increase in the use of imprisonment.”Neilson also said that the research ignored “the clear failure of prison, as proven by re-offending rates”. 28．What kind of relationship does the research aim to discover? _____A．The relationship between prison time and the crime rate.B．The relationship between the number of prisons and the crime rate.C．The relationship between prison time and the crime type.D．The relationship between the number of prisons and the crime type.29．What can we learn about the conclusion of the research? _____A．There are more burglaries than frauds annually.B．Sentences for fraud are more serious than those for burglaries.C．Over 5,000 burglaries were cut when the sentence length increased by a month.D．If a person is charged with fraud, he or she will be sentenced to about 15 months in prison.30．What is Andrew Neilson's attitude towards the findings of the research? _____A.Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Neutral（中立的）. D．Worried.31．In Andrew Neilson's opinion, the government can help the fall in crime in all of the following ways EXCEPT. _____A．developing a good economy B．improving home securityC．increasing funding for the police D．building more prisonsDSoot-also known as black carbon- heats up the atmosphere because it absorb sunlight. But for years the institutions that focus on climate policy have played down the role of pollutants such as black carbon that stay in the atmosphere for a short time and concentrated on carbon dioxide, which once created tends to remain there. That may soon a change.A new study concluded that the soot was the second-most-damaging greenhouse agent after co₂ and about twice as bad for the climate as had been thought until now. The consequences are intense. It found that the black carbon around at the moment has a warming effect of about 1.1w/㎡. This is greater than that of methane（甲烷）and second only to the 1.7w/㎡of carbon dioxide.Black carbon is especially damaging to frozen regions, because when soot falls on snow and ice it increases the amount of light and heat they absorb. The new assessment may therefore help explain why the Arctic has been melting faster than anyone had expected. The study argues that warming is likely to be especially marked in the high positions of the northern part of the globe-northern Canada. Alaska, northern Europe and Siberia. It also gives a warning that black carbon, by changing regional precipitation（区域性降水）patterns, may affect Asian monsoons （季风）.The biggest impact of soot, though is not on the climate but on health-through lung and other diseases. A study estimated that controlling releases of black carbon could save 2.4 million lives a year, regardless of any effects on the climate.It might seem that the new study is one more item of bad environmental news. Not so. It should be easier to deal with black carbon than with CO₂. Whereas CO₂ is long-lasting and an unavoidable by-product of burning fossil fuels soot drops out of the atmosphere within weeks. Stop putting it there and it will rapidly go away-a potentially easy win. Dealing with them is also cheaper than cutting CO₂ releases and does not need global agreement, because the local benefits would be the main point, so no one could free-ride on the emission-cutting efforts of others. Instead, the good of the climate would be free-riding on local self-interest.32．Why have the institutions paid less attention to soot? _____A．It is too small in amount to be noticed. B．It just stays in the atmosphere for a short time. C．It belongs to carbon dioxide. D．It is beyond their study.33．Why has the Arctic been melting faster than expected? _____A．Soot has much stronger damaging power. B．People play down the role of soot.C．The amount of rain increases. D．The globe is becoming warmer.34．What is the fundamental reason for people to deal with soot? _____A．Soot can change regional precipitation patterns. B．Soot can fasten the melting pace of frozen regions. C．Soot can cause acid rain. D．Soot can cause diseases.35．What does the word “free-ride” really mean in the last paragraph? _____A．Getting to a certain place without paying the fee. B．Gaining benefits without doing any efforts.C．Giving somebody a free ride. D．Driving a car in one's own power.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.选项中有两项为多余选项.If you’re tired of feeling bad, especially around this time of year when the weather’s warming up and everyone is talking bikinis maybe you do need a new look but this one should have nothing to do with your weight, size or shape.This look takes cultivating what's on the inside 36 .

Below are some common North American gestures that often cause problems abroad.1．“V” in Australia and EnglandIn 1992, George Bush visited Australia and from the window of his car, held up his index（食指）and middle fingers in the “V” shape. This “V” means victory in England, or peace in North America. Too bad it means“up yours” in Australia.2．“OK” in FranceMaking a circle with your thumb and forefinger means “treat” or“fine” in North America. It’s also used by divers to communicate that there are no problems. In France, however, this gesture means “zero”. Unless you’re motioning to a French diver, you might be communicating that something （or someone）is worthless.3．One-handed giving in JapanIn the West, people aren’t especially mindful of their hands when they offer objects to others. In Japan, it is polite and expected for people to make offerings with both hands. If you give someone a business card, or hand them your camera to take a photo, be sure to pass on the item with both hands. This shows that you are fully attentive and careful in the offering. A one-handed presentation might be taken as dismissive（蔑视的）. 4．“Got your nose” in TurkeyA man with the gesture doesn’t have a set North American meaning, except when playing “got your nose” with a child. It also means the letter “T” in American Sign Language. In Turkey, this gesture is aggressively rude. 21．If you want to express your satisfaction in North America, you can use ________.A．“V” gestureB．“OK” gestureC．“Thumbs-up”D．“Got your nose”22．What can we infer from the passage? ________A．The gestures are the same around the world.B．A “V” gesture i n England means peace.C．An “OK” gesture in America means “zero”.D．You had better give someone something with both hands in Japan.23．Who might be interested in this passage? ________A．Americans.B．Japanese.C．Frenchmen.D．Englishmen.BIt’s often said that eating breakfast is the key to starting your day properly, but apparently there is another important physical activity you need to start off on the right foot. Singing together is good for harmony in the workplace, for productivity and for general well-being.I’m a conductor and a composer. Then I’m the artistic director, manager of the Copenhagen Opera Festival. I hope that we will get a movement in Denmark that in firms, in factories, in schools, in every place, in the parliament that the dance would sing maybe once a week or maybe every morning, because I really think you’ll cooperate much better with the colleague. If you have been standing together next to a person singing together, you can be hepped on that person. So I would love, if this could be a movement that spreads all over the scene. Let’s sing together.I work as a hostess at the Danish Broadcasting Radio. You know, I will be singing for the rest of day, so that tells everything about why this is good to sing in the morning. And literally, it opens my body. Let go. Open your body. You open your eyes. You open your mouth. You open your body. And that is you open your heart. So all these things together combined make your day even better because when you are opened in your body, you are also open-minded.I perform at the Copenhagen Opera Festival this year. It’s not unusual for a lot of people to join in on a rock tune or something like that, but it would always be an imitation. But here sing together with your own voice and you can sing these songs together. And I think it’s a very important aspect if you are happy and ready to begin the day. Sometimes in yoga classes people do a little bit of chanting, and that seems like connecting the voice to the body. I think it’s bit of the same here. Of course, it’s much more voice and perhaps less body in that sense, but I think it’s just as important.I really believe that singing is important for our souls but also for our mental development.24．From the passage, we know that colleagues can remain healthy by ________.A．doing some exerciseB．eating breakfastC．singing togetherD．working hard25．The writer wants to get a movement in companies every day ________.A．to let people have a good futureB．to have people do enough exerciseC．to help people learn to sing and danceD．to make people get on well with each other26．The underlined word “hepped” in the second paragraph can mean “________”.A．honestB．crazyC．puzzledD．surprised27．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? ________A．The writer lives in Denmark and is a singer.B．The writer feels open-minded after singing.C．The writer likes to join in a rock music match.D．The writer hardly communicates with others.CThe house was quiet at 5 a.m., and Tim’s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He’d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring（轻微颤动）of the freezer had been the sea.Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He’d eat after he’d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea.He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches—but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she’d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table:Gone to Michael’s. Back tonight, Tim.The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn’t up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.The sandhills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world. Over the first rocks, along to the point. Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn’t go in all the way...28．What did Tim do at the beginning of the story? ________A．He left the house quietly.B．He had breakfast at home.C．He left a note on the freezer.D．He put a sweater in his schoolbag.29．What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave? ________A．The height of the first rocks.B．The ups and downs of the waves.C．The change in the position of the sun.D．The vast stretch of the sunlit beach.30．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story? ________A．The sea looked like a piece of gold.B．Seabirds flew away when Tim arrived.C．Tim was the only person on the beach.D．The sky got dark as Tim reached the cave.31．In the story, Tim’s mood changed from ________.A．loneliness to crazinessB．anxiousness to excitementC．helplessness to happinessD．eagerness to nervousnessDIf you feel ill just looking at the side effects of the medicine that’s supposed to cure you, it might be best not to bother. The warnings themselves might actually make you sick, scientists say.A series of studies from around the world has shown that if you believe something could make you ill, it might well do just that. Simply reading the side effects on bottle of tablets raises your risk of experiencing them. And, what’s even worse, chances are patients who don’t believe they will survive surgery are never going to get off the operating table. Just as positive thinking can be good for your health, negative thoughts can be bad for well-being.Examples include clinical trials for new drugs, in which up to a quarter of patients given fake versions experienced the side effects associated with the real thing. And more than half of chemotherapy（化疗）patients started experiencing nausea（恶心）, which is associated with the cancer treatment, days before it started. The phenomena show that just telling a patient about the side effects associated with his pills could make his health worse.Research has shown that women who believe they are particularly likely to suffer a heart attack are nearly four times as likely to die from one as other women.The power of suggestion can also be responsible for mass outbreaks of “a disease”. In 1988, a high school teacher, in Tennessee in the US, noticed a petrol-like smell and began to complain of headache, nausea, shortness of breath and dizziness. The school was closed at once and over the next week, more than 100 staff members and students were complaining of similar symptoms. But extensive tests could find no medical explanation for their problems.Dr. Clifton Meador, from the Vanderbilt School of Medicine in Nashville in the US, said bad news promotes bad reactions in the body. “You may persuade people that they’re going to die and have it happen. I don’t think there is anything mysterious about it,” he said.32．The underlined sentence means that patients who don’t believe they will survive surgery ________.A．are more likely to suffer side effectsB．are less likely to survive the operationC．make the operation more difficult for doctorsD．influence the doctors’ confidence in themselves33．Cancer patients experienced nausea before their chemotherapy because they ________.A．were too weak for the treatmentB．had given up hope for a better treatmentC．were aware of the side effects and felt worriedD．knew little about the side effects and felt fearful34．Dr. Clifton Meador probably thinks the phenomenon in Para. 5 is ________.A．ridiculousB．mysteriousC．puzzlingD．natural35．The main idea of the text is that ________.A．negative thoughts can cause sicknessB．patients should learn to control themselvesC．positive thinking can be good for your healthD．the instructions on a medicine bottle are dangerous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,选项中有两项为多余选项.Now that’s Funny! Chinese emoji（表情符号）circles globe“Funny”, a made-in-China emoji, inclusively used on Tieba, the largest Chinese communication platform provided by the search engine giant Baidu, seems to have recently moved beyond just China.36．________.Reaching global marketsA series of “funny” emoji-based pillows have attracted the attention of Japanese customers through Amazon Japan. Even if one pillow costs more than three times the price in China, it doesn’t reduce their desires to buy it. One Japanese customer Miki said: “They are just so cu te. And every time I see them, my mood just brightens suddenly.”37．________.Compared with Japanese people’s impressions of the “funny” emoji, Chinese netizens prefer to use the emoji to tease one another on social media.Known as the most popular emoji on Tieba, the “funny” emoji has received much attention since its release in2013. 38．________. Compared with the original, “funny” has a slightly opened mouth, a dull red flush and two eyebrows.I f you think the emotion is the only cause for the “funny” emoji to go viral online, then you are wrong.

Earlier this year, one emoji from the Chinese basketball celebrity Yao Ming has been spread through the Middle East region. In Luxor, a city in Egypt, Yao’s smiling emoji has emerged frequently in local traffic signs to remind people the road ahead is one-way. And you may be surprised to find that many locals do not know Yao Ming but are familiar with his emoji and nickname “Chinese Funny Face”. What’s more, due to the huge influences of Chinese Sina Weibo, many western celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and Madonna have opened their personal accounts on the platform.As a newly emerging online language, emojis have risen to become an important part of people’s daily life. 40. ________.

They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual（虚拟）. The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.21．Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph? _____A．To explain what they are. B．To introduce BookCrossing.C．To stress the importance of reading. D．To encourage readers to share their ideas. 22．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to? _____A．The book. B．An adventure.C．A public place. D．The identification number.23．What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it? _____A．Meet other readers to discuss it. B．Keep it safe in his bookcase.C．Pass it on to another reader. D．Mail it back to its owner.24．What is the best title for the text? _____A．Online Reading: A Virtual Tour B．Electronic Books: A new TrendC．A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D．A Website Links People through BooksBThe Price of a DreamI grew up poor. We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football. My high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis. He not only believed in me, but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction（信念）.One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother.Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was dreading（害怕）this, but my mother said: “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be. “Your playing days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them,” he said.I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house.“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he demanded.“Three twenty-five an hour,” I replied.“Well,” he asked, “is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?”That question laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball, and offered a $20 000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother the house of my dream.25．The writer was grateful to Coach Jarvis, because Jarvis ______.A．made him set a goal B．supplied him with new clothesC．gave him financial support D．helped him show conviction26．When the boy was offered a job, he wanted to ______.A．balance summer baseball and the work schedule B．refuse the job offer for summer baseball C．give up summer baseball for the job D．ask his coach Jarvis for advice27．Which of the following can replace “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”? _____A．You must eat the bitter fruit of your own making. B．Believe in yourself, but above all be patient. C．You must rely on yourself first, then others. D．A good beginning makes a good ending. 28．The end of the story was that the writer ______.A．failed to buy his mother a house B．succeeded as a sportsmanC．became a successful businessman D．made some money in the summer jobCCan you imagine a world without chocolate? It's not something I'd 1ike to do. So I was relieved to read that there’s a university with a programme to safeguard the future of chocolate!The University of Reading, in England, has just opened a new clearing house for all the world’s new cocoa varieties. They must be quarantined（隔离检疫）before they can be grown. Why? Cocoa production hit a record high of 4.4 million tons last year but about 30％of the precious crop is regularly lost to pests and diseases. Now we don’t want that, do we?Demand for chocolate has been increasing faster than the world supply of cocoa and researchers think that new varieties are key to solving this problem.The University of Reading has been protecting the quality of the new crops since 1985, after it took over the task from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew, London. And it has improved its facilities. The leader of the institution’s cocoa project, Professor Paul Hadley, says, “One of the main issues concerning cocoa improvement is the supply of reliably clean, healthy, interesting cocoa material.”The cocoa center has a collection of 400 plant varieties and their greenhouse uses a lot of energy to keep them in tropical conditions. After up to two years in quarantine, clean and safe seeds are sent to some 20 countries, including several in West Africa. That’s where 75％of the cocoa used for chocolate worldwide comes from. The crop is extremely important for the local economy: it employs about two million people.Professor Hadley says he works with a small team of skilled technicians who look after the collection. And more of us seem to count on them now.The scientist says, “There is some concern within the industry that demand is increasing constantly, particularly in countries like China, where the standard of living is increasing and people are getting a taste for different chocolates.”29．What is the text mainly about? _____A．Safeguarding cocoa seeds. B．Planting cocoa worldwide.C．Keeping cocoa in greenhouse. D．Finding the new market for cocoa.30．The institution’s cocoa project is to_______.A．have cocoa skin removed B．offer more jobs to peopleC．ensure the quality of cocoa D．supply cocoa for two million people31．What does the last paragraph tell us? _____A．The taste of chocolates is changing. B．Demand for cocoa is increasing fast. C．People are concerned about cocoa varieties. D．Chinese have a long history of eating chocolates. 32．What’s the purpose of the text? _____A．To educate. B．To advertise. C．To warn. D．To inform.DFor decades, the San Francisco Bay area has been the heart of the computer technology industry. Many of the biggest technology companies have their headquarters in the area called Silicon Valley. But the area has not always been associated with charity（慈善）.Now, a new generation of entrepreneurs（企业家）appears to be changing Silicon Valley. One example is Marc Benioff, a donor（捐赠者）, who has called on wealthy donors to give more to their communities. He also is the founder of Salesforce. com, a computer services company in San Francisco who has helped build a children’s hospital and given millions of dollars to non-profit organizations in the city.Money from the technology industry has also started to change the face of charity. Benjamin Soskis writes about the history and ideas behind charity in America. His articles have appeared in The Atlantic magazine and a number of major publications. He says, traditionally, donors have given after they spent much of their lives building up wealth. Usually donors are in their 70s. But an increasing number of people appearing on the list of top donors are younger than 40 years of age. Benjamin Soskis says that is something new. “There’s a whole new model that’s appearing in which people give and accumulate at the same time.”Some of the young donors on this year's top 50 list have started to change in the way people see charity. That is especially the case in the San Francisco area, where giving money and making money appear to be coming together. “I think it’s fair to say that charity is now a part of the Silicon Valley identity.”33．What is TRUE of Marc Benioff? _____A．He joined a non-profit organization. B．He advised donors to build hospitals.C．He made San Francisco a city of charity. D．He set up the company of Salesforce. com.34．What is special about the donors of Silicon Valley? _____A．They prefer to give rather than make money. B．They give after accumulating a lot of wealth. C．They are much younger than the usual donors. D．They donate more money to their communities. 35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? _____A．The age of charity B．The changing faces of charityC．In search of new faces D．From computer base to charity centre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,选项中有两项为多余选项.A strong memory depends on the health and vitality（活力）of your brain. They say that you can’t teach an old new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isn’t true. 36 Give your brain a workout. Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”. The more you work out your brain, the better you’ll be able to process and remember information. 37Don’t skip the physical exercise. While mental exercise is important for brain health, that doesn’t mean you never need to break a sweat. Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss.Get enough sleep. There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best. 38Keep stress in check. Stress is one of the brain’s worst enemies. Over time, stress destroys brain cells. Studies have also linked stress to memory loss.Have a laugh. 39 That holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body. Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain.40 Just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. You probably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, “healthy” fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet can also improve memory. For brain health, though, it’s not just what you eat—it’s also what you don’t eat.A．Eat a brain-boosting diet.B．Play games with memory.C．Laughter is the best medicine.D．But oversleeping is not good for your brain.E．Even skipping a few hours makes a difference!F．You have to shake things up from time to time!G．The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节,满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分）阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.Today I am known for my voice.

AThe City Bike program rolled into New York last spring and proved a hit,with nearly12,000 New Yorkers signing up for annual memberships.Since2010,over a dozen US cities have introduced bike-share

paying attention,and I had driven a few miles an hour over the speed limit.“Can I see your license and registration?”the police officer asked me.I pulled both out for him, and he saw my Pittsburgh address on my Pennsylvania driver’s license.“What are you doing here?”he asked.“Are you with the army?”“No,I’m not.”I answered.I explained that I had just moved to Virginia,and I hadn’t had time to re-register yet.“So what brings you here?”He had asked a direct question.Without thinking very hard,I gave him a direct answer.“Well, officer,”I said,“since you’ve asked,I have cancer.I have just months to live.We’ve moved down here to be close to my wife’s family.”“So you’ve got cancer,”he said flatly.He was trying to figure me out.Was I really dying?Was I lying?He took a long look at me.“You know,for a guy who has only a few months to live,you sure look good.”He was obviously thinking:“Either this guy is trying to cheat me,or he’s telling the truth.”He was trying to question my honesty without directly calling me a liar.And so he had forced me to prove that I was being honest.“Well,officer,I know that I look pretty healthy.I look great on the outside,but the tumors are on the inside.”And then,I don’t know what possessed me,but I just did it.I pulled up my shirt, showing the operational scars.He looked at my scars.He looked in my eyes.He now knew he was talking to a dying man.Well, he wasn’t taking this any further.He handed me back my license.“Do me a favor.”he said,“Slow down from now on.”The awful truth had set me free.As he went back to his police car,I had a realization.I had been one of those gorgeous blondes(金发美女)who could bat her eyelashes and get out of tickets.I drove home under the speed limit,and I was smiling like a beauty queen.24.The author was

excuseB.showed sympathy for himC.doubted his honestyD.asked him to show his scars27.It can be inferred from the passage that the author was______.A.adventurousB.optimisticC.dishonestD.romanticCProfessional courses,such as Masters in International Business or MIB,have been taken by many students in the last two decades.They are choosing new-age non-conventional courses that guarantee a better future.MIB is a specialized course that teaches the international business.There are acceptable reasons for so much popularity of MIB course.The course content and teaching methods of MIB are quite different from a normal MBA or Master of Business Administration.It has been designed with the sole objective of developing professionals with an in-depth understanding and knowledge of the international trade.The course offers various advantages over the conventional MBA degree course.The massive increase in the international business and foreign trade gives excellent job prospects(前景)to the new generation.Acquiring a degree of MIB offers outstanding growth of job opportunities.Those who want to pursue in the field of marketing also have a good future after completing the degree from a famous MIB college.Big multinational organizations look for talented people who can handle the job profile（简历）of International Marketing Manage,and people with MIB degrees are preferred.The profile needs an in-depth understanding of the overseas markets,because it is the strategic post from the perspective of company’s international business growth.Since business finance and economics are covered at length in the curriculum of MIB,students have great job offers in the field of finance as well.Typically,organizations offer the profile of international finance controllers to those who complete MIB with the specialization of finance. The specialization covers aspects of international taxes,accounts,budgeting and so on.People in this field are well-paid,and growth prospects are unlimited.After completing degree course from a reputed MIB college,there is a bright future in the banking and finance field as well. International banks appoint people who have an excellent grasp over the international banking policies,currency exchange,and international policies.Thus,MIB is the golden key to success with brilliant job opportunities in national and multinational sectors.28.The second paragraph is mainly developed by_______.A.analyzing causesB.listing figuresC.making comparisonsD.proving definition29.More and more people intend to acquire a degree of MIB because_______.A.it is a compulsory course in the collegesB.it offers them conventional economic knowledgeC.it offers them opportunities to do small businessesD.it helps them get good jobs in some organizations30.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.The international finance controller is a high-quality job.B.People get higher salary in business field than in finance field.C.MIB holders are more promising in all careers than others.D.International banks only accept employees from MIB colleges.31.What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this article?A.To make an advertisement for the MIB course.B.To explain why the MIB course is getting popular.C.To analyze the disadvantages of the MIB course.D.To predict the development trend of the MIB course.DGamblers(赌徒)at Monte Carlo are pursuing money,and most of them lose it instead,but there are other ways of pursuing money,which often succeed.So it is with happiness.Epicurus,a Greek philosopher,pursued it by living only in pleasant society and eating only dry bread for the sake of his poor health,with a little cheese on feast days.His method proved successful in his case,but something more nutritious would be needed for most people,for whom the pursuit of happiness, unless supplemented(补充）in various ways,is too abstract and theoretical to be adequate as a personal rule of life.We imagine ourselves more different from the animals than we are.Animals live on impulse(冲动)，and are happy as long as external conditions are favorable.A cat will enjoy life if it has food and warmth and opportunities for an occasional night on the roof.Your needs are more complex than those of a cat,but they still have their basis related to nature.In civilized societies,especially in English-speaking societies,this is too likely to be forgotten.People propose to themselves some topmost objective,and prevent all impulses that do not seem to serve it.A businessman may be so anxious to grow rich that he sacrifices health and private affections.When at last he has becomerich,no pleasure remains to him except annoying other people by inspirations to imitate his noble example.Many rich ladies，although nature has not qualified them with any spontaneous(自发的）pleasure in literature or art,decide to be thought cultured,and spend boring hours learning the right thing to say about fashionable new books that are written to give delight,not to afford opportunities for dusty snobbism(势利).If you look around at the men and women whom you can call happy,you will see that they all have certain things in common.The most important of these things is an activity which at most gradually builds up something that you are glad to see coming into existence.Women who take an born pleasure in their children can get this kind of satisfaction out of bringing up a family.Artists and authors and men of science get happiness in this way if their own work seems good to them. Also,many men devote their weekends to voluntary and unpaid labor in their gardens,and when the spring comes,they experience all the joys of having created beauty.The whole subject of happiness has,in my opinion,been treated too seriously.It had been thought that man cannot be happy without a theory of life or a religion.Perhaps those who have been led to unhappiness by a bad theory may need a better theory to help them to recover,just as you may need a tonic(补药)when you have been ill.But when things are normal a man should be healthy without a tonic.It is the simple things that really matter.If a man delights in his wife and children, has success in work,and finds pleasure in the alternation of day and night,spring and autumn,he will be happy whatever his philosophy may be.If,on the other hand,he finds his wife liar,his children’s noise unbearable,and the office a nightmare;if in the daytime he longs for night,and at night sighs for the light of day,then what he needs is not a new philosophy but a new lifestyle一a different diet,or more exercise,or what not.Man is an animal,and his happiness depends on his physiology(生理)more than he likes to think. This is a simple conclusion,but I cannot make myself disbelieve it.Unhappy businessmen,I am convinced,would increase their happiness more by walking six miles every day than by any imaginable change of philosophy.32.From the passage,we can learn_______.A.humans can find pleasure without thinking too muchB.animals live in harmony with nature like humansC.animals tend to be content with basic requirementsD.humans should learn to avoid high expectations33.The businessman mentioned in the passage________.A.ends up with wealth but little happinessB.attaches little importance to his life goalC.makes efforts to meet basic requirementsD.succeeds in inspiring people around him34.According to the passage,what do happy people have in common?A.They are good at reading some fashionable new books.B.They expect both family happiness and career success.C.They possess the spirit of sacrifice without any reward.D.They get satisfaction from their worthwhile activities.35.What’s the author’s opinion of life philosophy?A.Philosophy plays a more important role than lifestyle.B.Philosophy shouldn’t be stressed too much in our life.C.Philosophy will determine how happy people feel.D.Philosophy is generally based on one’s physiology.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出的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Fill in each blank with word or phrases that best fits the context.Everyone wants to win a first-place blue ribbon, to be the best in something. Even kids in Kindergarten want that blue ribbon. In sports, I was never a blue-ribbon person. In a race, I was always 36 . In baseball I was likely to be 37 on the head or drop the ball. During the spring of my kindergarten year, our class had a field trip to a park in a town about twenty miles away. Making that drive now is no big 38 but when you’re six and you’ve lived in a town of 300 people all your life, going to a big town of a couple of thousand people is really something.I don’t remember too much about it. But there was one that I will never forget -----the __39__race. The parents tied our feet together. One little boy got me for a 40 . He was the second most 41 boy in our class so he usually won at everything and I knew that with me tied to him he didn’t have a chance. And I’m su rehe knew he was in trouble. The gun sounded and we were off. Some couples were falling and stumbling all around us, 42 we stayed on our feet and made it to the other side. 43 , when we turned around and headed back for home, we were in the lead! Only one couple had a chance to win, and they were a good several yards behind us.A few feet from the finish line, disaster struck: I tripped and fell. We were 44 enough that my partner could have easily dragged me across the finish line and won. But he didn’t. Instead he stopped, 45 down and helped me up ------ just at the other couple crossed the finish line. As a result, we received a small red ribbon for coming in second.I still remember that moment when the young boy decided that helping a friend get on her feet was more important than winning a blue ribbon. And 13 years later, I still have that little ribbon because it’s a 46 that a friend like this boy is one who really 47 .36. A. last B. first C. quick D. successful37.

A. lay B. slowed C. movedD. reached46. A. warning B. reminder C. giftD. notice47. A. depends B. counts C. supportsD. worthySection C (12 points)Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blankwith one word that best fits the context.There was a new guy in the office. When we walked by each other in the hallway, we smiled and said " hi". Actually, he said, "Hi, Joe." 48But I just said "hi" because... well... I didn't know his name, and was embarrassed to ask.I passed him in the hall again yesterday. As I was continuing down the hall, feeling pretty good about how well I was coping 49with not knowing his name, when I heard a familiar voice behind me. "I don't know you!" It was Sylvia, one of the kindest people I know. Sylvia was friendly and warm, a welcoming mother to everyone in the office. She was walking a few paces behind me, and evidently she didn't know the new guy 50yet .But rather than just smile and say "hi," Sylvia did what she did. Not only 52did she announce that she didn't know him, but asked him his name, 51told him hers and engaged him in conversation. Before 53that they were chatting like old friends about some things they had in 54common . And suddenly for Sylvia, the new guy wasn't the new guy anymore. He was Mitch, a colleague with children, hobbies, interests and a little shared history.I was stunned -- and a little embarrassed by the ease with 55how Sylvia negotiated that transition. It doesn't take much to turn anunfamiliar face in into a friend. You just have to get over yourself and reach out a little. Ask a question. Learn a name. And just like that -- no more new guyPart Three: Reading Comprehension (30 points)AWhat incident began the series of traffic accidents?As time slid by, we have too much to reflect on. We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong, A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. What happens is that a great number of things choose to go wrong at the same moment, as if a single unimportant event would cause a chain of reactions.This is n o joke, already, in most people’s daily life.Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this marks a series of catastrophes. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the tablecloth off the table, breaking half of your best glasses and cutting himself. You hang up hurriedly and attend to your baby, glasses, etc. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt, as if this were not enough to reduce you to tears, your husband arrives, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.Things can go wrong on a big scale, as a number of people recently discovered in Parramatta, a suburb of Sydney on the 10th of August, 2009. During the rush hour two cars collided (撞车) and both drivers began to argue. The woman immediately behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She suddenly got into a panic and stopped her car right away. This made the driver who was following her brake hard. His wife was sitting beside him with a large cake in her hands, paying no attention to the sudden change. As she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the windscreen and landed on the road. Seeing a cake flying through the air, a lorry driver who was drawing up alongside the car pulled up all of a sudden. The lorry was loaded with empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the vehicle and on to the road. This led to yet another angry argument. Meanwhile, the traffic piled up behind. It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meantime, the lorry driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two stray(迷路的) dogs benefited from all this confusion, for they greedily ate up what was left of the cake. It was just one of those days.56.“Let’s suppose that you are prepar ing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time.” What does the underlined part mean?A.putting one of your eyes on the baby.B.making sure the baby is safe.C.playing together with the baby.D.watching the baby playing.57.Why did the writer use the story that took place in Sydney?A. He wanted to tell how terrible the traffic is in Sydney.B. He wanted to state that being a driver is a terrible thing.C. He wanted to use it as an example to support his idea.D. He wanted to warn the readers not to sit beside the driver.58. According to the passage, which of the following could be the main cause to block the traffic?A. Two cars collided and both drivers began to argue.B. The woman behind was a learner and stopped her car suddenly.C. The lorry driver pulled up all of a sudden.D. There were dogs in the way.59. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. A chain of reactions are usually caused by something that happens unexpectedly.B. The woman following behind the two cars was an experienced driver.C. A chain of reactions might be caused by something unimportant in our daily life.D. Some small happenings may cause great confusion.60. What can we infer from the passage?We should be careful no matter where we areA single unimportant event surely results in a chain of reactions Stray dogs always block trafficSomething terrible always happens unexpectedly.AB“Tear them apart!” “Kill the damn fool!” “Murder the referee ( 裁判)!” “Why don’t do something there, you idiot!”These are common comments one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But we should not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed (流血). So many stories have been written about the way words affect us .It has been shown that words having certain meanings may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behav ior. I see the term “opponent” as one of those words . Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent” is “adversary”:“enemy”; “one who opposes your interests.” Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may control one’s knowledge and intellectual ability, and every action, no matter how gross, may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a refe ree refused a player’s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not considered then wet enough. The player went on to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then stated loudly. “Are they wet enough now?”In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent’s international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the game. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior.Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated(提升)the game to the level where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world . Replacing the term “opponent” with “associate” could be an ideal way to start.The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “colleague”;“friend”; “companion.” Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate” rather than “opponent.”61. Which of the following statements best expresses the author’s view?A. Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequencesB. The words people use can influence their behaviorC. Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletesD. Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field62. Harsh words are spoken during games because the players _______A. are too eager to winB. are usually short-tempered and easily offendedC. cannot afford to be polite in fierce competitionD. treat their contestants as enemies63. What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves?A. He refused to continue the gameB. He angrily hit the referee with a ballC. He claimed that the referee was unfairD. He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt64. According to the passage, players, in a game , may _______A. deliberately throw the ball at anyone illegally blocking their wayB. keep on screaming and shouting throughout the gameC. lie down on the ground as an act of protestD. kick the ball across the court with force65. What is the main idea of the passage?A.The author calling on raising the referee’s sense of responsibilityB.The author calling on players to use clean language on the courtC.The author calling on changing the attitude of players on the sports fieldD.The author calling on regulating the relationship between players and refereesCIn Japan many workers who work in large corporations have a guarantee of lifetime employment. During their employment, they will not be laid off during recessions(经济萧条) or when the tasks they perform are taken over by robots. To some observers, this is what they call capitalism at its best, because workers are treated as people not things. Others see it as necessarily inefficient and they also believe it cannot continue if Japan is to remain competitive withforeign corporations by being more concerned about profits and less concerned about people.Defenders of the system argue that those who call it inefficient do not understand how it really works. In the first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job. The lifetime employment system includes only “regular employees”. Many employees are not included in this category, including all women. All businesses have many part-time and temporary employees. These workers are hired and laid off during the course of the business cycle just as employees in the United States are. These “irregular workers” make up about 10 percent of the non-agricultural work force. Additionally, Japanese firms keep some flexibility through the large-scale use of subcontractors（转承包者）. This practice is much more common in Japan than in the United States.The use of both subcontractors and temporary workers has increased remarkably in Japan since the 1974-1975 recessions. All this leads some people to argue that the Japanese system is not all that different from the American system. During recessions Japanese corporations lay off temporary workers and give less business to subcontractors. In the United States, corporations lay off those workers with the least seniority(资历). The difference then isprobably less than the term “lifetime employment” suggests, but there still is a difference. And this difference cannot be understood without looking at the values of Japanese society. The relationship between employer and employee cannot be explained in purely contractual(合同的) terms. Firms hold on to the employees and employees stay with one firm. There are also practical reasons for not jumping from job to job. Most retirement benefits come from the employer. Changing jobs means losing these benefits. Also, teamwork is an essential part of Japanese production. Moving to a new firm means adapting to a different team and at least temporarily, possessing lower productivity and lower pay.66.It is stated in the second paragraph that ____.A. defenders themselves do not appreciate the systemB. about 90% of “irregular workers” are employed in agricultureC. the business cycle occurs more often in Japan and in the U.S.D. not all employees can benefit from the policy67. During recessions those who are to be fired first in the U.S. corporations are ____.A. regular employeesB. part-time workersC. junior employeesD. temporary workers68. According to the passage, Japanese firms are remarkably different from American firms in that the former ____.A. use subcontractors in larger amountB. are less flexible in terms of lifetime employmentC. hold on to the values of societyD. are more efficient in competition than the latter69. Which of the following does NOT account for the fact that a Japanese worker is unwilling to change his job?A. He will probably be low-paid.B. He will not be able to possess some job benefits.C. He has got used to the teamwork.D. He will be looked down upon by his prospective employer.70. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?A. The guarantee of employment in JapanB. The consequence of the Japanese systemC. The advantages of lifetime employment in JapanD. The expectations of capitalismPart Four: WritingSection A (10 points)Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.Many workers depend on plans offered by their employers to helppay for their retirement. There are two major kinds of retirement plans. One is defined by what is paid out, the other by what is paid in.The first is called a defined benefit plan, or pension. It provides set payments based on the number of years an employee has worked. These plans often pay for health care and other costs. They might also provide money to family members when the pensioner dies. Pensions, however, can be a big cost to employers. In the United States, the change from a manufacturing economy to a service economy has resulted in fewer and fewer traditonal plans.In 1974, the Employment Retirement Income Act set rules to protect pensions. That law also created a federal agency called the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.As a result, it is now responsible for the current and future pensions of more than one million workers. At the end of last September，it reported a deficit of almost twenty-three thousand million dollars in its single-employer insurance program.The agency takes control of pensions that do not have enough money to pay claims. It currently guarantees thirty thousand plans. Forty-four million Americans are in these plans. But there are limits to how much they can receive if their pension fails.The other major kind of retirement plan is called a definedcontribution plan. Two things define how much a worker will get at retirement. The first is how much both the worker and the employer paid into the plan. The other is the performance of its investments. Defined contribution plans can reduce the taxes of workers and employers. But some plans are very complex. An easier way for small employers to offer retirement savings is through a Savings Incentive Match Plan. It permits contributions of up to ten thousand dollars a year toward retirement.Title: Saving for retirementSection B (10 points)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required word limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.More than 300 high school students from 40 schools across the globe gathered this week at the Western Academy of Beijing, one of the capital's leading international schools, to discuss how they can "change" the world by helping to solve global problems.It is the first time an Asian country has hosted the Global Issues Network conference, which was set up in 2006 by teachers and students from six international schools in Europe. It aims to help students realize they can make a difference by empowering them to work with peers to develop solutions to global issues.The idea for the conference came from the book High Noon: Twenty Global Problems, Twenty Years to Solve Them by Jean-Francois Rischard, former World Bank vice-president for Europe, which presents a series of challenges that can be solved only through global cooperation.One of the participants at the conference was Austin Gutwein from Arizona in the United States, who was just 9 when he began raising money for children orphaned by AIDS.In 2004, the junior high school student, now 13, launched the basketball-themed Hoops of Hope, which "charged" people in his neighborhood $1 for every basket he shot.Since then, thousands of youngsters have picked up on the idea and helped raised more than $325,000 for the cause."It works because kids my age want a chance to do something great and be part of something like this," Gutwein told China Daily."I realized these kids weren't any different from me, except they were suffering and I wanted to do something to help them," he said. With the help of non-government organizations, Hoops of Hope has built a school for HIV/AIDS orphans and a medical lab in Zambia in South Africa.Another participant, Li Yeqiao, a 15-year-old student at Beijing Bayi Middle School who chairs the school's Roots & Shoots group, told the conference how the group seeks to improve the way electronic waste is disposed of, and encourages people to save water and care for animals."We have developed 3R (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) living habits and are optimistic our initiatives will have a positive impact on the local environment," Li said.British animal behavior expert Jane Goodall introduced the Roots & Shoots concept to China in 2000 to promote environmental andhumanitarian education programs to children. There are now 300 of such groups in the country.86. What kind of problems are the young students trying to solve? (no more than 2 words.)87.How does Austin Gutwein raise money for children orphaned by AIDS? (with no more than 7 words)88. What does Li Yeqiao think of their 3R? (with no more than 10 words)89. What’s the main idea of this passage? （no more than 12words）Section C (25 points)Directions :Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese .近来，越来越多的中学生家长在学校附近租房陪读。
