A
Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient practice which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past, the human race managed to live with it. Modern cleverness has changed this. Either man will end the existence of war, or war will end the existence of man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeeded in ending the existence of nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in ending war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look up on international problems in a new way not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but by settling in accordance withagreed rules of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.
There are those who say that the acceptance of this or that ideologywould prevent war.
I believe this to be a big mistake. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements (强词夺理) ，which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their supporters believe in them so deeply that they are willing to go to war in support of them.
The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a common place that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are coming nearer to is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiationsshould reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important struggle nowadays is not between different countries but between man and the atom bomb.
21．This passage implies that war is now_______.
A. worse than in the past
B. as bad as in the past
C. not as dangerous as in the past
D. as necessary as in the past
22．From Paragraph 2 we learn that the writer of the passage_______.
A. is a supporter of some modern ideologies
B. does not think that the acceptance of any ideologies could prevent war
C. believes that the acceptance of some ideologies could prevent war
D. does not doubt the truth of any ideologies
23．According to the writer,_______.
A. war is the only way to solve international arguments
B. war will be less dangerous because of the improvement of weapons
C. it is impossible for people to live without war
D. war must be ended if man wants to survive
B
Retirement should be time of joy and freedom. However, for some people retirement comes with feelings of depression, which makes life difficult for them.
Retirement is a major life change. Even good changes usually involve some kinds of loss.
When you retire, you find yourself lacking whatever working used to provide. That could include, for example, 1. knowing you’re working for society, 2. getting admiration from your skills, 3. having “aha” moments when you solve problems, 4. having people to socialize with, and 5. simply having a place to go and a reason to get out of bed every day. For most people, there’s a financial loss, too. Also, retirement age is a time when a lot of people have to deal with losing their parents or having serious health problems of their own.
Because of all these, retirees are more likely to get depressed.
Depression is very harmful. First, depression can make physical health problems worse. Second, it takes a toll on relationships, because it can make people angry. Third, it’s hard to get much done when you’re depressed.
What can we do to overcome the feelings of depression? First, do all the things that help depression in general: drink enough water, exercise, talk to friends, have a hobby, laugh, and spend time in nature. If you feel depressed more often than not, it’s probably time to talk to a doctor about your feelings. Second, it’s important to keep busy and get out of the house when you can. Make specific plans with friends. Take a class Volunteer. Or just make sure you start each day with some kind of goal. Third, try to focus on what you’ve gained by retiring. Think about what you may have now that you wished you had before you were able to retire. For example, days that are less stressful, a chance to rest and take better care of your body, more time for your family and yourself. To write, to start a hobby and to learn something new are all new possibilities. Finally, tell your story. You’ve lived a long ti me and you become an oral historian each time you talk with someone about your experiences. You can also write in a journal or make a video recording of your memories. Telling your stories can help you look back on your life and career with a sense of wholeness and achievements.
24．People may find life very hard after they retire because of ___________.
A. freedom
B. nervousness
C. discouragement (losing heart)
D. hard work

26．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means ________________.
A. it makes people’s relationships unusual
B. it makes people’s relationships in peace
C. it makes people’s relationships in danger
D. it makes people stay in touch with each other.
27．What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Depression and Retirement
B. Depression During Retirement Is Harmful
C. Reasons for Depression During Retirement
D. How to Overcome Depression During Retirement
C
You may have heard adults say they are un comfortable in the morning without a cup of coffee. One reason they may feel that way is that coffee contains caffeine(咖啡因). Caffeine occurs naturally in coffee, tea, and cocoa beans, which are used to make chocolate. But now food makers are adding it to many products, from potato chips to water.
The US governm ent is especially worried about the problem. That’s why the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is studying the health effects of caffeine on young people. Studies show that too much caffeine can make people nervous and unable to sleep. What’s more, caffeine is habit-forming. Those who consume it regularly and stop suddenly may experience headaches and feel tired.
One of the biggest concerns is the large amount of caffeine added to so-called energy drinks, like Red Bull. A 12-ounce can of cola has about 35 milligrams of caffeine. A similar serving of Red Bull contains more than three times that amount.
The Institute of Medicine is also working on caffeine-safety measures. “Teenagers should not drink beverages that contain caffeine. They should be aware of caf feine’s effects on health and on how the brain works. Take, for example, teenagers who consume caffeine to stay awake and study for a test. They will remember less of what they just studied,” said Stallings, a member of the institute.
Companies that make products with added caffeine claim they do not advertise them to kids. However, there is no law to stop children from buying them. So the FDA needs to set limits on caffeine, especially in energy drinks. As for added caffeine in foods, the government should just say no. If not, the amount of caffeine should be printed on food labels to remind consumers. The government must do that.
Doctors say kids should avoid caffeine. If you need extra energy, try these natural boosters: eat right, exercise, and get plenty of sleep.
28．What is the US government particularly concerned about?
A. The fact that coffee contains caffeine.
B. The measures of avoiding caffeine’s effects.
C. The practice of adding caffeine to foods.
D. The practice of using caffeine to make chocolate.
29．Red Bull is listed in the third paragraph as an example of _____.
A. drinks which contain much caffeine
B. caffeine’s effects on health
C. teenagers’ addiction to caffeine
D. people’s concern about teenagers’ health
30．Paragraph 5 is mainly about _____.
A. the process of the government’s controlling the use of caffeine
B.the measures of protecting teenagers from caffeine’s effects
C. the government’s responsibility of taking care of teenagers
D. the risk of buying products containing caffeine nowadays
31．The author may agree that _______.
A. getting enough sleep can make people energetic
B. headaches and feeling tired are common in teenagers
C. food makers don’t add much caffeine to many products now
D. caffeine is good and useful for teenagers’ study
D
Most people know precious gemstones (宝石) by their appearances. An emerald flashes
deep green, a ruby seems to hold a red fire inside, and a diamond shines like a star. It’s more difficult to tell where the gem was mined, since a diamond from Australia or Arkansas may appear the same to one from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. However, recently, a team of scientists has found a way to identify a gemstone’s origin.
Beneath the surface of a gemstone, on the tiny level of atoms and molecules（分子）, lie clues to its origin. At this year’s meeting of the Geological Society of America in Minneapolis, Catherine McManus reported on a technique that uses lasers (激光) to clarify these clues and identify a stone’s homeland. McManus directs scientific resear ch at Materialytics, in Killeen,Texas. The company is developing the technique. “With enough data, we could identify which country, which mining place, even the individual mine a gemstone comes from,” McManus told Science News.
Some gemstones, including many diamonds, come from war-torn countries. Sales of those “blood minerals” may encourage violent civil wars where innocent people are injured or killed. In an effort to reduce the trade in blood minerals, the U.S. government passed law in July 2010 that requires companies that sell gemstones to determine the origins of their stones.
To figure out where gemstones come from, McManus and her team focus a powerful laser on a small sample of the gemstone. The technique is called laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. Just as heat can turn ice into water or water into steam, energy from the laser changes the state of matter of the stone. The laser changes a miniscule part of the gemstone into plasma, a gas state of matter in which tiny particles（微粒）called electrons separate from atoms.
The plasma, which is superhot, produces a light pattern. (The science of analyzing this kind of light pattern is called spectroscopy.) Different elements produce different patterns, but McManus and her team say that gemstones from the same area produce similar patterns. Materialytics has already collected patterns from thousands of gemstones, including more than 200 from diamonds. They can compare the light pattern from an unknown gemstone to patterns they do know and look for a match. The light pattern acts like a signature, telling the researchers the origin of the gemstone.
In a small test, the laser technique correctly identified the origins of 95 out of every
100 diamonds. For gemstones like emeralds and rubies, the technique proved successful for 98 out of every 100 stones. The scientists need to collect and analyze more samples, including those from war-torn countries, before the tool is ready for commercial use.
Scientists like Barbara Dutrow, a mineralog ist from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, find the technique exciting. “This is a basic new tool that could provide a better fingerprint of a material from a particular locality,” she told Science News.
32．We learn from Paragraph 1 that __________.
A. an emerald and a ruby are names of diamonds.
B. it’s not difficult to tell where the gem was mined.
C. appearances help to identify the origin of gemstones.
D. diamonds from different places may appear the same.
33．Why did the U.S. government pass law that requires companies selling gemstones to determine the origins of their stones?
A. To look for more gemstones.
B. To encourage violent civil wars.
C. To reduce the trade in blood minerals.
D. To develop the economy.
34．Which of the following facts most probably helps McManus and her team in identifying the origin of stones?
A. Heat can turn ice into water o r water into steam.
B. Gemstones from the same area produce similar light patterns.
C. Laser can change a miniscule part of the gemstone into plasma.
D. Materialytics has already collected patterns from thousands of gemstones. 35．From the last two paragraphs, what can be inferred about the laser technique?
A. It is ready for commercial use.
B. People can use the new tool to find more gemstones.
C. It can significantly reduce the gemstones trade in blood minerals.
D. It will bring about a revolutionary change in identifying the origin of minerals. 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。

Secret codeskeep messages private. Banks, companies, and gover nment agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.
People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36． Code breaking never lagsfar behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.
There are three main types of cryptography. 37． For example, the firs t let ters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”
38． You might represent each letter with a number, fo r example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “135 520 135.”
A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book.39．For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.”40． However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.
A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.
B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.
C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.
D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.
E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.
F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.
G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.

The city where I live is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights. It 41 me of h ow many people I’ve seen who take the yellow light as a signal to go faster. I also can’t 42 people who don’t move when the traffic light has
turned green. Above all, there are those 43 situations in which someone doesn’t even 44 that the light is red, and just keeps going; that is how many accidents happen. All these situations make me 45 about the purpose of the traffic lights. However, it’s even more 46 to imagine letting people make their own47 at crowded intersections. Do the biggest cars get to go first? Who decides who goes next? 48 I guess I do like the idea of a system to 49 traffic, and do my best to 50 the traffic signals: to go, to be 51 , and to stop when I’m supposed to. It occurs to me that my 52 have done much the same for me in 53 of teaching me how to live. They have given me many 54 lights: to live in harmony with others, to listen and talk to them, to help others, to live with 55 and purpose. They have also given me some red lights so that my 56 doesn’t go astray: not to co vet, to watch my temper, to control my desires. And there have been some yellow caution lights: to watch how much I drink, to keep control of my behavior, to 57school regularly and work hard. If I obey these signals, my life will be as 58 as it can. Just as I’m wise to pay attention to the traffic lights when I’m walking 59 the street, I’m wise to pay attention to the "life 60 "given me by my parents. 41.

37．E后面举的例子是来证明人们设置密码时往往会利用一些单词的第一个字母来作为密码，由此判断E选项内容符合语境逻辑。

38．G根据后面的解释内容可以判断这是介绍密码设置的又一种方法，故判断G选项符合语境。

39．F根据后面的举例以及前句中的 a code book可以判断该句是介绍密码书的使用，故判断F选项可以起到承上启下的作用。

40．A根据空后内容的转折可知尽管利用密码书可以破译密码，但是一本密码书也不会使用很久的时间，故判断A选项符合语境。

语法填空
61.it 62. However 63. called 64. popularity 65. privately 66. has been built 67. where 68. with 69. which 70. less
短文改错
71. interests改成interest。

Interest是不可数名词，不要加复数，因此，将interests改成interest
72.which前加in或者which改成where。

此处是非限制性定语从句，从句缺少状语，且先行词是platform，是地点，因此which改成where，前加in也可以。

73.were改成are。

文章是用现在时态写的，因此were改成are。

74.free改成freely。

此处是表示“自由的表达”，副词修饰动词，因此free改成freely。

75.held前加be。

比赛和辩论是被举办的，因此使用被动语态，故held前加be。

76.promoting改成promote。

动词不定式表示目的，因此promoting改成promote。

77.Therefore改成Besides或Moreover。

前后句不存在因果关系，是指还有另外一些活动，因此Therefore改成Besides或Moreover。

78.a改成the。

此句中club是第二次出现，故需用定冠词the.
79.in去掉。

加入到某人的行列中来直接用join sb 就可以了，所以in去掉。

80. one改成it。

sign up for 是报名参加俱乐部，用it指代，而不用one。

故one改成it。

范文
I like music and I think most people like it as much as I do. While most of people nowadays like modern music such as rock and pop music, I like listening to classical music. For many people, they find classical music boring to listen. However, I think classical music is serious and can make people inspired. Unlike modern music, most of the classical music can last long. Every time I feel tired or anxious, classical music helps me calm down. Music plays an important part in my life. Music makes my life more colorful and gives me a lot of entertainment. More importantly, it makes me refreshed. If there were no music in the world, it would really be a boring and dull place!。
