She seemed so small as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during break. I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could. I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone.One day I asked her why she practiced so much. Without a moment of hesitation she said, “I want to go to college. The only way I can go is to get a scholarship. I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the best. My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, t he facts don‟t count.” Well, I had to give it to her—she was determined. I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. Every week, she led her school team to victory.One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head in her arms. I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong. “Oh, nothing,”came a soft reply, “I am just too short.” The coach told her that at5‟5” she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team—much less offered a scholarship—so she should stop dreaming about college. She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. They just did not understand the power of a dream. He told her that if she truly wanted a scholarship and that nothing could stop her except one thing — her own attitude.The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was offered a scholarship and on the college team. She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of.56．The author was probably the girl‟s _____________ .A．neighbor B．friend C．teacher D．mother 57．Why was the girl heart broken?A．She was considered too short to be a top player.B．Her coach stopped her training because of her height.C．She couldn‟t be on a college basketball team.D．She wouldn‟t be admitted by an ideal college.58．We can learn from the passage that _____________ .A．her family wouldn‟t like to pay her college feeB．her father forced her to play basketball in collageC．being a top basketball player can win you a scholarship for collegeD．she wouldn‟t like to turn to his father for help when in difficulty59．Which word can best describe her father?A．Encouraging. B．Optimistic. C．Stubborn. D．Cruel. 60．Which proverb best matches the story?A．Practice makes perfect. B．Rome was not built in a day.C．Where there is a will, there is a way. D．Pride comes before a fall.BThe year was 1932. Amelia Earhart was flying alone from North America to England in a small single—engined aeroplane. At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather. To make things worse, her altimeter (高度表) failed and she didn’t know how high she was flying. At night, and in a storm, a pilot is in great difficulty without an altimeter. At times, her plane nearly plunged (冲) into the sea.Just before dawn, there was further trouble. Amelia noticed flames coming from the engine. Would she be able to reach land? There was nothing to do except to keep going and to hope.In the end, Amelia Earhart did reach Ireland, and for the courage she had shown, she was warmly welcomed in England and Europe. When she returned to the United States, she was honored by President Hoover at a special dinner in the White House. From that time on, Amelia Earhart was famous.What was so important about her flight? Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly the Atlantic Ocean alone, and she had set a record of fourteen hours and fifty—six minutes.In the years that followed, Amelia Earhart made several flights across the United States, and on each occasion (时刻) she set a new record for flying time. Amelia Earhart made these flights to show that women had a place in aviation (航空) and that air travel was useful.61. Which of the following statements is NOT the difficulty which Amelia Earhart met in herflight from north America to England?A. She was caught in a storm.B. The altimeter went out of order.C. Her engine went wrong.D. She lost her direction.62. When Amelia Earhart saw flames coming from the engine, what did she do?A. She did nothing but pray for herself.B. She changed her direction and landed in Ireland.C. She continued flying.D. She lost hope of reaching land.63. According to the passage, what was Amelia Earhart‟s reason for making her flights?A. To set a new record for flying time.B. To be the first woman to fly around the world.C. To show that aviation was not just for men.D. To become famous in the world.64. Which of the following statements was NOT mentioned?A. She was the first woman who succeeded in flying across the Atlantic Ocean alone.B. She showed great courage in overcoming the difficulties during the flight.C She was warmly welcomed in England, Europe and the United States.D. She made plans to fly around the world.65. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Amelia Earhart—First Across the Atlantic.B. Amelia Earhart—Pioneer in Women‟s Aviation.C. A New Record for Flying Time.D. A Dangerous Flight from North America to England.CTo be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class：he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality (音色) and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn‟t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher‟s work and the actor‟s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand (预先). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play：they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written.66. What is the text about ?A. How to become a good teacher.B. What a good teacher should do outside the classroom.C. What teachers and actors could learn from each other.D. The similarities and differences between a teacher‟s work and an actor‟s.67. The word “audience” in the fourth paragraph means ____ .A. studentsB. people who watch a playC. people who not on the stageD. people who listen to something68. A good teacher ____ .A. knows how to hold the interest of his studentsB. must have a good voiceC. knows how to act on the stageD. stands or sits still while teaching69. In what way is a teacher‟s work different from an actor‟s ?A. The teacher must learn everything by heart .B. He knows how to control his voice better than an actor .C. He has to deal with unexpected situations .D. He has to use more facial expressions .70. Which of the following is true ?A. Teachers have to learn by heart what they are going to say in class .B. A teacher cannot decide beforehand what exactly he is going to say in class .C. A teacher must speak louder than an actor .D. A teacher must have a better memory than an actor .PART FOUR:WRITINGSection A (10分)Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can‟t be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.◆Try physical activityWhen you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, waling, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.◆Take care of yourselfYou should make every effort to eat well and get enou gh rest. If you easily get angry and can‟t sleep well enough, or if you‟re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor.◆Make time for yourselfSchedule time for both work and entertainment. Don‟t forget, playing can be as important to you over-all well-being as working. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.◆Make a list of the things you need to doStress can result from disorganization and a feeling that …there‟s not much to do, and not enough time‟. Trying to take care of everything at once c an be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, and then do one thing ata time, checking off each task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important tasks first.Section B (10分)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit.The average college student in America spent an estimated seven hundred dollars on textbooks last year. The National Association of College Stores reported more than five billion dollars in sales of textbooks and course materials.Association spokesman Charles Schmidt says electronic textbooks now represent just two to three percent of sales. But he says that is expected to reach ten to fifteen percent by two thousand twelve.Online versions are now available for many of the most popular college textbooks.E-textbooks can cost half the price of a new print textbook. But students usually lose access after the end of the term. And the books cannot be placed on more than one device, so they are not easy to share.So what do students think of e-textbooks? Administrators at Northwest Missouri State University wanted to find out. Earlier this year they tested them with five hundred students in twenty classes.The students in the survey reported that downloading the books from the Internet was easy. They liked the idea of carrying lighter backpacks. And fifty-six percent said they were better able to find information.But most found that using e-textbooks did not change their study habits. And sixty percent felt they read more when they were reading on paper. In all, almost half the students said they still liked physical textbooks better.But the survey found that cost could be a big influence. Fifty-five percent said they would choose e-textbooks if using them meant their textbook rental fee would not increase.Roger Von Holzen heads the Center for Information Technology in Education at Northwest Missouri State. He tells us that administrators are disappointed with the e-textbooks now available because the majority are not interactive.He thinks growth will come when more digital books include video, activities, games and other ways to interact with the information. The technology is improving. But for now, most of the books are just words on a screen.81. How much do the average college student in America spend on textbooks last year?(no more than 4 words)82. What is the percentage of the e-textbook sales now according to Charles Schmidt?(no more than 4 words)83. Why are the e-textbooks not easy to share? (no more than 11 words)84. Why are administrators disappointed with the e-textbooks now available?(no more than 6 words)Section C(25分)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.众所周知，每个人都希望能保持一份好心情，因为好心情对我们的学习和工作都非常重要。

On August 25, an American family’s vacation went terribly wrong. A man, his wife and their three children stopped at a shooting range (靶场) in the southwestern state of Arizona, where people pay to fire guns at targets. Charles Vacca worked for the business, called Bullets and Burgers. He helped the family’s nine-year-old girl shoot a submachine gun called an Uzi. But the girl lost control of the weapon. At least one bullet hit Mr. Vacca in the head. He fell to the ground. Later, he died of his injuries.No one has been charged with a crime. In fact, the families of both Mr. Vacca and the girl have said they feel very bad for each other. But the event has made Americans talk once again about guns and children. In the United States, federal law bars anyone younger than 18 from owning a handgun. But, many state laws give young people the right to shoot all kinds of guns under certain conditions.Some Americans say children (like adults) need to learn to shoot a weapon so they can protect themselves. Others say shooting guns is just part of the way they grow up. But “safety” is a word many people use when it comes to children and guns. Last year, the Pew Research Center reported that over one-third of American homes have a gun. So, the argument goes, children could easily see a gun at home, or in the home of a friend or neighbor, and decide to fire it. Indeed, the Nationwide Chil dren’s Hospital says about 1,500 children die every year from a gun accident. Many more are injured.Laura Cutilletta is a lawyer for the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. She said most U. S. states have firm restrictions on keeping children away from guns in the home. But state laws about children hunting or shooting for fun, such as at a shooting range, are much looser.In general, most states permit children to hunt or use a gun when an adult is with them. But, Laura Cutilletta notes that even a responsible adult cannot protect a child who is too youngto shoot a gun safely. And, she says no one needs to shoot the most powerful guns just for fun. （1）The serious accident happened because ________.A Charles Vacca helped the girl shoot the gun.B the family went to the shooting range to play guns.C the girl was too young to control such a powerful gun.D Bullets and Burgers was a dangerous place to play in.（2）Which of the following word can best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 2?A permitB suspectC accuseD forbid（3）What does Laura Cutilletta view about people’s shooting guns for fun?A Laws must be made to allow people to use guns safely.B She thinks that people who shoot a gun should be fined.C She objects to the idea that people play guns just forfun. D Adults should be responsible for the safety of children.（4）The passage is mainly about ________.A a gun accident happening at a shooting rangeB a discussion about children’s shooting for fun safelyC adults’ responsibility to keep children away from gunsD Americans’ legal right for possessing guns at home4. Levi Strauss did not invent jeans, but he is considered the first person to make and sell great numbers of them. He was born in Bavaria, an area that today is part of Germany. In 1847 he and his family immigrated to the United States. Levi Strauss opened a small drygoods store, first in New York, then in San Francisco, California. Among the products he sold were jeans. These pants were especially useful for miners in California. They needed clothing made from a strong material. Jeans are usually made from a heavy cotton cloth called denim (牛仔布). Levi Strauss partnered with a clothing maker named Jacob Davis. Davis had invented a process for making rivets (铆钉) for jeans. These little metal connectors helped hold the pieces of cloth together to make the jeans stronger.In 1873, the government gave Strauss and Davis a patent (专利证) for their invention. That meant no one else could legally copy it without their permission. They began producing what they called “copper-riveted waist overalls”. In 1928, the Levi Strauss Company registered (注册) th e word Levi’s as a trademark for their product. The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington has one of the oldest known pairs of Levi’s.Writer James Sullivan published a book called “Jeans: A Cultural History of an American Icon”. In it, he says jeans represent two American values: creativity and rebellion. Cowboys wore jeans in the old Wild West. In the 1950s, people saw famous Hollywood actors like James Dean and Marlon Brando wearing jeans in movies. Today jeans still come in blue but also lots of other color1 s. They can also differ widely in price. You might find jeans for 15 dollars in an American discount store. However, they can also sell for thousands of dollars a pair. Some people like to buy Jeans that look fresh and new. Others like to buy new jeans that are tom and look old. Early rock and roller Gene Vincent released “Blue Jean Bop” in 1956. The energetic song includes a line with the word “dungaree”. That is another way of saying blue jeans. It is an old Hindi word meaning coarse calico, or denim. The word came from the name of a village that is now Mumbai.（1）What can we learn about Levi Strauss from Paragraph 1?A Levi Strauss opened his first jeans store in New York.B Levi Strauss was born in a jeans-making family in Bavaria.C Levi Strauss invented jeans and sold great numbers of them.D Levi Strauss cooperated with Jacob Davis to make and sell jeans.（2）Davis invented rivets for jeans in order to .A make the Jeans wear wellB compete with other jean-makersC gain a patent to popularize his productsD decorate the jeans to make them more beautiful（3）What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A Jeans show the different tastes of people.B Jeans have become important American values.C Jeans enjoy a wide popularity in the life of American people.D Jeans were more popular among cowboys in the old Wild West.（4）The passage mainly talks about .A the history of jeansB the features of jeansC the life story of Levi StraussD the reasons for jeans’ popularity二、七选五5. In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, that is, early in the 15th century, China was an advanced country in the world, with a booming economy and prosperous culture.【小题1】Between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He was ordered seven times to make voyages to these countries, known as “Zheng He’s voyages to the west seas”.In 1405, a huge fleet of more than 300 ships manned by over 27,800 men set sail from Liujia Harbor near Suzhou on a distant voyage under the command of Zheng He.【小题2】 The fleet sailed along China’s coast to Champa close to Vietnam and after crossing the South China Sea, visited Java, Sumatra and reached Sri Lanka finally.

第I卷（选择题）一、阅读理解I’ll be the first to admit that I am a technophobe(对技术有恐惧感的人). Who would have guessed that a website would help repay a 20-year-old loan?I’ll always remember my last day at school. My best friend, Jenny, had organized a party in the Sixth Form Common Room.Jenny asked me to go to the supermarket with her to buy all the snacks. “I'm really looking forward to this party, St ingy," she said. Everyone called me Stingy instead of Debbie because they thought I didn’t like to spend money. Actually, it was true.“There’s lots of money in the kitty. Let’s go crazy!” Going crazy meant buying enough snacks to feed an army. It came to ￡19.90, which was a lot of money in 1982.Jenny gave me a guilty(内疚的) look. “I've left-the kitty money in the common room. Can you pay and I’ll give you back the money?”“Sure,” I replied, trying to look relaxed. “Neither a lender or a borrower be” was my motto(座右铭) but I didn’t want to look stingy. I gave ￡20 to the impatient shop assistant.Well, the Party was a great success. So great that I completely forgot about my loan until I was flying to America the next day. I was going to live with my uncle’s f amily until I started university.I tried to get in touch with Jenny but her family had moved. My ￡20 was lost. Until...I’d heard about a website called Friends Reunited which helped people contact old school friends. My husband helped me log on and find my school. There she was, Jenny Frost.I’m now married with a beautiful daughter called Debbie. Does anyone know how to get in touch with Debbie “Stingy” Jones? I still owe her ￡20!We met two months later and the ￡20 was returned, plus interest(利息) of co urse. After all, I’m a bank manager now, so loans are my business.1．Everyone called the author Stingy because they thought .A．she was poorB．she was meanC．she was lovelyD．she was friendly2．Why did Stingy lend her money to Jenny?A．Because Jenny lost her money.B．Because Jenny never borrowed money from her.C．Because Stingy had a lot of money in the kitty.D．Because Stingy wanted to be generous with her friend.3．When did Stingy get her loan back?A．The next day. B．At the last day at school.C．Two months later. D．About 20 years later.4．What can be the best title?A．Neither a lender or a borrower be.B．Always be a “Stingy”.C．Friends and Money Reunited.D．A loan has to be paid back.The United States of America is mainly an English-speaking country. The majority of the population speak English as their native language. Besides, education, social activities, etc. are conducted in English. Across but for the most part, Americans speak one common language. This language is sometimes called American English.However, not everyone in the USA is a native speaker of English. Most immigrants(移民) are speakers of other languages. There are hundreds of communities around the USA where English is not the most commonly used languages. Chinese, Italian, German, Greek, Spanish and French are all spoken in various communities in the USA． Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language after English. It is widely spoken in New York and across the southern part of the country. For speakers of other languages, learning English is important, but teaching people to speak English as a班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号second language was given little attention. Non-English speakers were expected to pick up the language by meeting with others in public. Recently, this has changed.Today, most large public schools and community colleges have ESL(English as a Second Language) programs; American English teachers feel that English students should learn the language the way they will use it. Therefore, ESL programs offer different English lessons to different students. Some programs teach students to communicate in English in public. Other programs teach the kind of English people who will need for their jobs. American ESL instructional methods do not lay emphasis on grammar or translation, but on the importance of communication. The goal is to get the English learners to learn by using the language.5．is the most widely used language in most parts of the USA．A．Chinese B．EnglishC．Spanish D．French6．In old days, the non-English immigrants .A．paid little attention to learning EnglishB．didn’t have much chance to learn EnglishC．also spoke English as their native languageD．never thought learning English was important7．The underlined phrase “pick up” in Para.2 means .A．to lift up B．to recoverC．to collect D．to learn8．What do American ESL programs think is the most important in learning English?A．Learning difficult grammar.B．Doing much translation.C．Finding a good job.D．Using the language.If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like "Shakespeare," "Samuel Johnson," and "Webster," but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn’t even speak English-William the Conqueror.Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon(or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modem English even shows a distinction(区别)between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more "foreign" than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man’s ambition.9．Before 1066, people in Britain mainly spoke .A．Welsh and Scotlish B．Nordic and GermanicC．Anglo-Saxon and Germanic D．Celtic and Old English10．How did William the Conqueror have a great effect on English?A．By defeating the Saxons.B．By speaking good English.C．By teaching people in Britain to speak English.D．By bringing French to Britain to greatly influence English.11．Why does Americans feel France is less foreign than Germany?A．They know French better than German.B．They know little history of the English history.C．In France most of the advertisements appear in English.D．There are more similarities between English and French.12．What is the main idea of this passage?A．The history of Great Britain.B．The French effects on English language.C．The difference between English and French.D．The great people who had effect on English.You might not get what you wish for, but you always get what you work for. I want to be a professional ballerina(芭蕾舞者) with the American Ballet Theatre in New York when I grow up, and I work toward my dream by training over 18 hours a week. I even started homeschooling so I could make more time for dance. I love dancing more than anything. It makes me feel strong and invincible(不可战胜的), like nothing could ever bother me. Most important, it’s helped me deal with the most difficult event of my life — the death of my dad when I was seven.My dad died of a heart attack while playing hockey, his favorite sport. When my mom first told me, it didn’t hit me that I would never be able to see him again. It was also hard to tell my friends and classmates because I didn’t know what to say, and they never knew how to respond. But four years later, everything that I do, I do in memory of my dad. I did my first dance solo. “The Love Lives On.” to him when I was nine.I would have never gotten through the experience without my mom. She comforted me when I was in grief and pain, and we wrote down all the memories I had with my dad in a special book. Now that I’m older, my mom and I do get on each other’s nerves more often — for a while, my schedule was very busy and we were so stressed that our little miscommunications would rise into huge arguments. But after we attended counseling(心理咨询) and I started homeschooling, things got much better, and now my mom and I have more quality time to spend together.I’ve learned that talking and communicating are the most important things to do in any relationship, and that definitely includes friendships, too! When I hang out with my friends, I try no t to look at my phone. It’s so awkward(尴尬的) when you’re sitting at a table with someone else, and she’s texting instead of talking to you. I think a good friend is kind, respectful, fair, and funny —and I’ll always try to be all of these things in person, not just on the phone!13．Why did the author train ballet so hard?A．To memory her father.B．To please her mother.C．To be a good friend.D．To work for her dream.14．What does the underlined part in Para. 3 mean?A．Offer help to each other.B．Be concerned about each other.C．Argue with each other.D．Get along with each other.15．In a relationship, are the most important.A．working and dancingB．training and arguingC．talking and communicatingD．laughing and dreaming二、七选五Friendship is a very beautiful bond(联系) in which no one is big or small, no one is rich or poor, and no one is ugly or beautiful. 16．In friendship, there are no terms and conditions. There is no age factor in friendship. Each person has his or her own mind, own views, and own perspective on life. You can learn a lot from every one of your friends.17．It is best to have one good friend who accepts you as you are, who bridges gaps and never lets you fall. As the ancient Greek poet Euripides put it, “Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.”Be happy and cheerful about your friends’ success. 18．Never be selfish, and always try to give more and expect less. Give whatever you want from your friends, like honesty, love, support and understanding, and never boast to your friends when you are more successful.If you are looking for a friend who is faultless, you will be friendless. 19．And for a good friendship, we need patience, because patience is the key to everything. A beautiful friendship is like a childhood friendship, free of jealousy and full of love. Children are unaware of bad feelings, where anger can suddenly arise. This is the quality that makes children pure and special. For a good friendship, one needs true love, and children are full of love. 20．A．Everybody has flaws.B．The best mirror is an old friend.C．Friendship means understanding, bonding and helpfulness.D．Ask your new friends questions about themselves.E.That is why they are loved by everyone.F.One good friend is better than thousands of ordinary friends.G.Always stand by your friends in every situation.三、完形填空I was broke after the bankruptcy(破产) of my company and before that, my marriage also came to an end, which may be the hardest truth to me.Suddenly, I got ____21______ lost.

Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad． He had rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there． We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp．On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries． I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any ofmy uncle’s exciting tales．He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and Iwere going to sleep．“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” Cried out my uncle, with a loud laugh．When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room． When the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes． A large part of the ceiling had fallen down, falling right on to the pillow of my bed．I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle’s stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed．That night we all slept on the floor in the sitting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment fall down on our heads． We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country． Thiswas not the kind of adventure he cared for either!（1）Why did the uncle seldom spend much time in the country cottage？________A.Because the roof of the cottage was falling．B.Because the cottage was in bad condition．C.Because he was used to living abroad．D.Because there was no furniture in it．（2）When they opened the bedroom door，they could see nothing at firstbecause________．A.it was completely dark inside．B.there was too much dust in the air．C.something strange blinded them．D.it was too bright inside．（3）The writer felt glad that he had stayed up late because________．A.he did not miss the exciting stories．B.he spent more time with his uncle．C.he had a lucky escape．D.he saw a strange sight．（4）Which of the following can best describe the writer’s uncle？________A.Adventurous and good at storytelling．B.Humorous and good at making jokes．C.Dependable and generous with money．D.Considerate and sensitive to danger．【答案】BBCA【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文主要讲述了作者兄弟俩和国外归来的叔叔一起在乡间小屋里度过一晚的故事．【解答】（1）B．细节推理题．根据第一段最后一句“We understood the reason for this after our arrival： the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it， many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked，making the whole house damp”可知叔叔租来的小屋居住条件比较差，因此他不经常住．故选B．（2）B．细节推理题．根据第五段第一句“When we…opened the bedro om door， we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room”可知作者他们看不清楚是因为空气中有太多的灰尘．故选B．（3）C．细节推理题．根据第五段最后一句“I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle’s stories， otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured， perhaps killed”可知作者庆幸自已熬夜听故事，从而躲过一劫．故选C．（4）A．推理判断题．根据第二段第一句中“his many adventures in distant countries”和第二段最后一句中“but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle’s exciting tales”以及最后一段最后一句“This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either”可推知叔叔很擅长讲故事并且具有冒险精神．故选A．2. Many young people these days adore （喜欢） the advertised magazine body and become too focused on attaining this image instead of worrying more about what lasts and even grows over time．But could you imagine being considered beautiful for years, and suddenly being ugly after moving to another continent? It is a sad reality that people don’t realize how ________ the idea of beauty can be from one country to another．Think of the most typical American girl you know．Is she blonde﹣haired with white skin and light blue eyes, and does she love shopping or sports? Now place this girl in the heart of Africa, where beauty is placed on what you can control．The Maasai tribe （部落） in Kenya focuses on how clean people are, and how stylish their piercings （穿孔） are．This tribe’s culture is to be a brave fighter, so they will cut their skin with patterns in it to show that they are strong．If you don’t look fierce, you are not beautiful．Other countries like North Korea nd South Korea have their own unique views on beauty．In an interview, a woman who has lived in both North Korea and South Korea claims that beauty in North Korea is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife．She says that women in North Korea are less concerned about fashion and beauty in the physical sense．She says they did have a time when big eyes were a big deal and everyone wanted to get double eyelid surgery．This is something extreme and couldperhaps be influenced by Western culture．But don’t you think t he idea of getting surgery done to look more attractive is crazy?（1）What does the underlined word“vacillating”in Paragraph 1probably mean？________ A.Inconsistent． B.Reasonable．ual．D.Similar．（2）The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that in their eyes________．A.getting dirty is stylish．B.American girls love shopping．C.strong people cut their skin．D.looking fierce is beautiful．（3）According to the woman interviewed，women in North Korea now________．A.care a lot about their appearance．B.put the beauty of eyes in the first place．C.pay great attention to their ability．D.are crazy about double eyelid surgery．（4）What does the text mainly tell us？________A.Inner beauty is of great importance．B.Ideas of beauty vary among culture groups．C.Different ways are needed to admire true beauty．D.Fashion magazines easilyinfluence young people．【答案】ADCB【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍不同的国家文化，对于美丽漂亮的定义是不一样的，文中分别举肯尼亚和朝鲜韩国做例子．来进一步说明这种现象．【解答】（1）A，词义猜测题，根据第一段第二句" But could you imagine being considered beautiful for years， and suddenly being ugly after moving to another continent？"是你能想象你被认为美丽多年，在搬到另一个大陆后突然变得丑陋吗？可知，不同的国家，关于美的概念是不一样的，不一致的，故选A．（2）D，细节理解题，根据第二段最后一句“If you don’t look fierce， you are not beautiful．”如果你看起来不凶，你就不漂亮了，可知，在肯尼亚的Maasai部落里，看起来凶被认为是漂亮的，故选D．（3）C，细节理解题，根据第三段第二句话“In an interview， a woman who has lived in both North and South Korea claims that beauty in North Korea is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife．”在一次采访中，一位生活在朝鲜和韩国都生活过的女士声称，朝鲜的美丽更多的取决于你成为一个好女人和妻子的能力，可知，朝鲜的妇女更注意能力，故选C．（4）B，主旨大意题，分析文章结构可知，本文主要讲的是不同的国家，对于美丽漂亮的标准是不一样的，第一段是本文的主题段，第二三段分别对这种现象进行举例说明，故本文主要讲的是不同的文化中，对于美丽的看法各异，故选B．3. We all have one shirt in the closet that we don’t want to get rid of, yet keep around because we can’t bear to just throw it in the garbage．We don’t wear it any more． Being a little out of style, your old Tshirt needs a new home where it can be appreciated． One city in Toronto has started a project to give it ________．Earlier this year, the Toronto suburb（郊区） of Markham introduced a new program encouraging its residents and residents of nearby suburbs to donate their old unwanted clothing． The program is exceptional because unlike most of those secondhand stores, they are accepting old clothing that isn’t quite in perfect condition． It is breathing new life into these typicallytrashed items． Contrary to common belief, textiles（纺织品） are not only used for clothing, and these items are being repurposed in a variety of interesting ways．The city has set up many different donation centers around the suburbs, and residents are encouraged, to donate any unwanted textiles they happen to have lying around their house．It’s volunteers’ duty to divide the donations into different sorts． Those items in usable and good condition are donated to local homeless shelters and other aid centers． Those which are not are shipped off to be used for industrial purposes． Only when there is no more industrial need for fabric and textiles will they begin to use their last place﹣a landfill outside the city．The program isn’t the city’s only green initiative（倡议）．It has already had one of Canada and the world’s largest solar panels, and it is said that they are steadily working towards a shift to 100% renewable energy． The city also has subsidized（补助）farmers’ markets and over 125 miles of bike paths． As a result, Markham also has a much lower rate of obesity than other Canadian cities． Now, it’s working towards another goal﹣100% recycling of unwanted textiles．（1）What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 1 refer to？________A.A shirt．B.A city．C.A home．D.A closet．（2）What do the volunteers do with the unwanted clothing？________A.Sell some in good condition．B.Sort through the donations．C.Share them with poor kids．D.Send them for industrial use．（3）What does the author want to say in the last paragraph？________A.The city has been the best place to live in Canada．B.The program is more successful than expected．C.The citizens have fallen in love with the city．D.The city is working hard to be a green one．（4）What is the main idea of this text？________A.One Canadian city is giving old clothing a new life．B.Old clothes are becoming more useful in Canada．C.Rubbish has been put into wide use in Canada．D.Donation centers become popular in Canada．【答案】CBDA【考点】阅读理解综合完形综合【解析】本文属于记叙文阅读，作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了一个加拿大城市通过捐赠衣服给这些衣服一个新家．【解答】（1）C．推理判断题，根据第一段Being a little out of style，your old Tshirt needs a new home where it can be appreciated． One city in Toronto has started a project to give it one．有点过时，你的旧T恤需要一个可以欣赏的新家，而这里的one指的就是这个家，故选C．（2）B．细节理解题，根据第二段Earlier this year，the Toronto suburb（郊区） of Markham introduced a new program encouraging its residents and residents of nearby suburbs to donate their old unwanted clothing．可知志愿者可以将不必要的衣服捐赠出去，故选B．（3）D．推理判断题，根据最后一段Now，it’s working towards another goal﹣100% recycling of unwanted textiles．可知这个城市正在努力成为一个绿色的城市，故选D．（4）A．主旨大意题，通读全文可知作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了一个加拿大城市通过捐赠衣服给这些衣服一个新家，故选A．4. The fact that ants are fascinating insects has been known for sometime． Now, scientists have discovered a large number of wood ants living in an abandoned underground storehouse in Templewo, Poland, despite having no obvious source of food．Polish zoologist Wojciech Czechowski and his team began studying the underground colony in 2013．They found the ants built a 60cm high nest in the soil directly over the storehouse’s vertical air pipe． As years passed, the metal covering on the pipe________, leaving behind a hole that thousands of worker ants accidentally slip into eachday as they go about their daily chores． The scientists say that there are no sources of food in the storehouse． This means that the insects live in a state of near starvation．In July 2015, the researchers disturbed part of the ant nest in search of larvae（幼虫）, empty cocoons（茧）, and queens． They found nothing, leading them to suspectthat the lack of food and cold temperatures made reproduction impossible and that the group tending the nest is entirely made up of nonreproductive female workers． Their population is refilled every year, by a new rain of unfortunate ants that slide down the hole． The researchers say that when they returned in January 2016, the nest had been repaired． It appears that despite the terrible conditions, the worker ants do not stop constructing their nest．Wood ants are known for their ability to adapt to bad living conditions． In this case, the millions of worker ants trapped in the storehouse have no choice． But instead of losing hope, they are making the best of the situation﹣a classic exa mple of “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade”．（1）How did the wood ants arrive in the storehouse？________A.They fell down there by accident．B.The research team brought them there．C.The storehouse builders left them there．D.They were attracted by the environment．（2）What does the underlined word “eroded” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？________ A.Expanded． B.Rotted．C.Exploded．D.Melted．（3）Why did the population of wood ants remain steady？________A.They had enough food．B.They were able to reproduce．C.They adapted to the conditions．D.They had new comers to join them．【答案】ABD【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文讲的是科学家在一个地下仓库发现了大量的林蚁，没有食物，环境恶劣，但是依然坚强低声活了下来．生活不如意时，要苦中作乐，努力做到最好．【解答】（1） A．细节理解题．根据第二段中的"As years passed，the metal covering on the pipe eroded，leaving behind a hole that thousands of worker ants accidentally slip into each day as they go about their daily chores"可以得知，林蚁都是偶然地掉到洞里的，最后到了地下仓库，因此答案选A．（2） B．词义猜测题．根据第二段中的"As years passed，the metal covering on the pipe eroded，leaving behind a hole…"可知，多年过去了，管道上的金属（…），最后就剩下一个洞，因此根据逻辑推理以及生活常识，肯定是管道上的金属腐烂了，最后就形成了洞，因此B项的rot（腐烂的）符合题意，因此答案选B．（3） D．推理判断题．根据倒数第二段中的" Their population is refilled every year，by a new rain of unfortunate ants that slide down the hole"可知，每年都有一些倒霉的工蚁掉到洞里来，最后导致林蚁的数量一直都很稳定，因此答案选D．第二节（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．并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．Television is everywhere around us．Yet it is great

ACome See Harvard for YourselfSummer 2015 scheduleFrom August 10, 2015 to August 21, 2015, all admissions information sessions and tours will originate at Agassiz House, 5 James Street, Cambridge, MA. The schedule will feature information sessions each weekday at 10 am and 2pm, followed by tours of the campus at 11am. and 3pm. During this particular period, we expect a high volume of visitors, potentially resulting in large information sessions and tour groups. Instead, you may prefer to choose a different point in the calendar, or opt to use one of our self-guided tour maps during your visit. Traditional points of interest such as Harvard Yard, Memorial Hall, the Fogg and Peabody Museums can be found easily on any of our campus maps.Information sessions and toursAdmissions officers, often with undergraduates, present information and answer questions about admission to the college, financial aid, academics, extracurricularactivities and residential life at Harvard. Tours are led by current undergraduates and provide a perspective on daily life on campus. Admissions tours last approximately 75 minutes and focus on undergraduate life at Harvard. They are intended for students considering entrance to the College. For historical tours, visit the Harvard Information Center.Virtual tour of Harvard CollegeWe know that many students will not be able to visit colleges before applying. As an alternative, we strongly recommend our virtual tour. Student guides lead you through the places in which they live and learn, including dorm rooms, classrooms, Widener Library, the freshman dining hall and more.21. Which of the following is the best time for you to attend an admissions information session?A. 10 am, a Sunday in August.B. 11 am, a Saturday in AugustC. 2 pm, a Wednesday in August.D. 3 pm, a Friday in August.22. Who are least likely to participate in the information sessions and tours?A. admissions officers .B. undergraduates.C. potential applicants.D. professors in Harvard.23. What is an alternative for the students who can not visit Harvard before applying?A. information from a guidebook.B. an online tour of the campus.C. a letter from admissions office.D. communication with undergraduates.BGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced still swim as well as ever since. A man when he gets back who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star", remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Oncewe have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables（乘法口诀表）are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of over learning explains why cramming（突击学习）for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.24. What is the main idea of paragraph 1?A. Stories for children are easy to remember.B. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.C. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.D. People remember well what they learned in childhood.25. The author explains the law of overlearning by_________.A. presenting research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples26. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______.A. a skill to deal with math problemsB. a special case of crammingC. a result of overlearningD. a basic step towards advanced studies27. What is the author's opinion on cramming?A. It's helpful only in a limited way.B. It leads to failure in college exams.C. It's possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students' learning interest.CWhile taking my boat down the inland waterway to Florida a few weeks ago, I decided to tie up at Georgetown, South Carolina, for the night and visit with an old friend. As we approached the Esso dock, I saw him through my telescope standing there awaiting us. Tall and straight as an arrow he stood, facing a cold, biting wind—truly a picture of a strongman, even though his next birthday will make him eighty-two. Yes, the man was our elder statesman (政治家), Bernard Baruch.We drove off to his famous Hobcaw Barony for dinner. We sat and talked in the great living room where many famous people and statesmen, including Roosevelt and Churchill, have sat. In his eighty-second year, still a human dynamic person, Mr. Baruch talks not of the past but of present problems and the future, disapproving of and criticizing our ignorance of history, economics, and psychology. What is the secret of this great man’s value to the world at eighty-one? The answer is his unsatisfied desire to keep being productive.Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room(更衣室) of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community. If abundant material were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased. When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind: “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.”To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest memories. In fact, the battleof life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The great words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course,I have kept the faith.28. The passage above is most probably taken from ______.A. a photography bookB. an autobiographyC. a science fictionD. a USA travel brochure29. We learn from the passage that Bernard Baruch _____.A. was a statesman who was out of conditionB. was fond of associating with famous peopleC. held a positive attitude towards an active lifeD. kept a secret of the reason why he was so strong30. Which of the following is indicated in the 3rd and 4th paragraph?A. It's hard to judge a person's success.B. Keeping being productive keeps a man alive.C. No way can be found to escape the realities of life.D. Wealth alone will bring people life-long happiness.31. What is implied in the passage by the writer?A. If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. To use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.D. As life is but like a dream, a man is like a tree.DOn the occasional clear-frost autumn night, I was hiking through the dark forest with my GMO wolf. Yes, my best friend is a genetically modified organism（转基因生物）; deliberate selection has produced the blunt-toothed, small-pawed wonder that walks by my side.Our world is changing rapidly. In the last five decades, global population has fully doubled, with 3.7 billion hungry mouths added to our planet. During this sametime span, the amount of land suitable for agriculture has increased by only 5%. However, this did not result in the great global famine(饥荒) one might have predicted.How do scientists alter（改变） a plant so that it makes more food than its parents did? We could treat each harvest like a litter of wolf pups and select only plants bearing the fattest, richest seeds for the next season. This was the method our ancestors used to engineer rice, corn and wheat from the wild grasses they encountered.During my childhood, advances in genetic technologies allowed scientists to identify and clone the genes responsible for shorter, stronger plants that could bear more seeds—the high-production crops that feed us today. The 21st century has brought with it a marvelous new set of high-tech tools with which to further quicken the process of artificial selection. Plant geneticists can now directly edit out or edit in sections of DNA using molecular(分子的) scissors. We can minimize a plant’s weaknesses while adding to its strengths, and we don’t have to wait for seasons to pass to test the result.It is the transformative potential of these techniques to quickly supply the next-generation crops required for upcoming climate change that has led me to believe in the safety and function of GMO plants in agricultural products. We need more GMO research to feed the world that we are creating.I love the quiet forest that stands between my lab and my home. But I know that as a scientist, I am responsible first to humanity. We must feed, shelter and nurture （培养）one another as our first priority, and to do so, we must take advantage of our best technologies, which have always included some type of genetic alteration. We must continue as before, developing the future as we feed ourselves, and each year plant only the very best of what we have collectively engineered. I keep the faith of my ancestors each night when I walk through the forest to my lab, and my GMO wolf does the same when she guards my way home.32. Why does the author mention the wolf in the 1st paragraph?A. To introduce a technology used to humans’ advantageB. To persuade readers to welcome the new technologyC. To change people’s attitude towards wolvesD. To advise people to keep wolves as pets33. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. GMO technology will help weatherproof(防风雨的) future crops.B. With GMO technology, famine has been wiped out.C. Artificial selections make high-yield plants possible.D. The author believes technology should contribute to future generations.34. What can be learned about modifying a plant?A. It takes scientists seasons to know whether their selection is correct.B. One way for ancestors to change a plant was to clone some genes.C. Modern techniques help speed up the artificial selection by altering DNA.D. The general public show strong faith in GMO plants.35. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. GMO Technology—Turning Wolves into the Best PetsB. Engineered Food—Feeding Future GenerationsC. Engineered Food—To Be or Not To BeD. GMO Technology—A Driving Force in World Peace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。
