There are 20% more heart attacks on Mondays than on any other day.Heart disease is Britain’s biggest killer. Around 270,000 people suffer a heart attack every year and nearly one in three die before they even reach hospital. High blood pressure, or hypertension, 42 one in five people in the UK and is a major risk 43 for heart disease. The higher it climbs, the greater the force exerted(施加) by blood on the walls of the arteries（动脉）when the heart beats.To see how it changed over the course of a week, researchers from Tokyo Women’s Medical University in Japan, fitted 175 men and women with a device that would measure their blood pressure round-the-clock. A week later, the volunteers returned the devices so that researchers could 44 how blood pressure had changed.The results, published in the American Journal of Hypertension, showed a surge(振荡) in readings in those getting ready to go back to work on a Monday morning. Volunteers who stayed asleep did not experience an increase, which 45 work-related stress is most likely to 46 .“Most people are free of the mental and physical 47 of work on Sundays and experience a more stressful change from weekend 48 activities to work activities on Mondays, ”said Dr. Murakami, who led the research.. “But anyway, there was a 49 peak on Mondays.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

At an early age I could make things go my way with just a few small changes. The writers for today’s hottest soap opera could not have created a50 character than me.I don’t know how long it took me to realize how I was51 so many others. Not only did I succeed in 52 many of my closest friends by trying to control them; I also managed to destroy the most 53 relationship in my life: my relationship with my mother.My mother, who gave birth to me at age 54 her doctor’s wishes, would cry to me, “I waited so long for you. Don’t ignore my help!” I would reply 55 , “I never wanted you to care about me! Leave me alone and forget I ever lived!”My mother began to believe I really 56 it. Like many young girls in high school, the boys who I knew were 57 were always the first ones I had to date. Iwould try to find any way to draw attention to myself while at the same time trying to be 58 . I had also been heavy into drugs then to change my personality. And my only pleasure was to make people feel 59 . But then I asked myself why. Why the need to hurt? Why the attacks on my mother? I would drive myself mad with all the whys until one day I couldn’t 60 it any longer and jump from a car moving at 80 miles per hour.Lying awake the following night at the hospital, I saw my mother’s pained face, tired brown eyes filled with nothing but thanks for her daughter’s rebirth of life.61 all the horrible things I did to her, she still loved me. I cried and asked why. She just looked down at me and said frankly, “Because you are my daughter.”62 love is the most precious gift we can give.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Children in Bosnia-Herzegovina all know the ancient story of the poor woman who caught a golden fish, released it, and in return gained wealth and happiness. According to a 1998 Associated Press story, this Balkanfairy tale turned into reality for one poor family. Before the start of the Bosnian war, the Malkoc family lived next to a small lake in the northwestern village of Jezero. One day in 1990, Smajo Malkoc returned from a trip to Austria with an unusual gift for his teenage sons, Dzevad and Catib: an aquarium(鱼缸) with two goldfish. Two years passed before Bosnian Serb forces advanced on Jezero.The women and children fled, and the men stayed back to resist the attacking soldiers. Smajo Malkoc was killed. When his wife, Fehima, sneaked back into the destroyed village to bury her husband and rescue what remained of their belongings, she took pity on the fish in the aquarium. She let them out into the nearby lake, saying to herself, “This way, they might be mor e fortunate than us.” Fast-forward to 1995, Fehima Malkoc returned with her sons to Jezero. Nothing but ruins remained of their home and their village. Through misty eyes she looked toward the lake. Glimpsing something strange, she walked over to the shore. “The whole lake was shining from the thousands of golden fish in it,” she said. “It made me immediately think of my husband. This was something he left me that I neverhoped for.”During the years of killing all around the lake, life underwater had flourished. After their return, Fehima Malkoc and her sons started caring for and selling the goldfish. By 1998, homes, stores, and coffee shops all over the region feature aquariums containing fish from Jezero. The Malkoc house, rebuilt on its original site, is one of the biggest in the village. Two new cars are parked in front, and the family says it has enough money to quit worrying about the future. “It was a special kind of gift from our father,” Dzevad Malkoc said. Whenever one gives, one can never underestimate what a gift of love or an act of kindness might produce.65. Why did the woman let the fish out into the lake?A .She thought of the fairy tale. B. She did so in memory of her husband.C. She showed mercy to them.D. She intended to get reward from them.66. What is the correct order of the following events according to the passage?a. The woman set the golden fish freeb. The woman buried her husbandc. The woman slipped back homed. The family rebuilt the housee. The family sold the goldfishA. c, b, a, e, dB. c, a, b, e, dC. b, c, a, d, eD. b, d, a, c, e67. What does the author intend to tell us?A .The more golden fish, the wealthier you’ll be. B. Golden fish promise a good fortune.C .No pains, no gains. D. Give, and it will be given to you.(B)Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture（针灸）Author: Angela Hicks, John Hicks, Peter MoleItem RegularPriceAAMA PracticeMember Price95—53 $69．95 $59．45 Description: This exciting textbook gives a clear, detailed, and presentation of the main features of constitutional five element acupuncture68.

It says girls who identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to say in destructive relationships as adults. The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with serial abuse because they believed they could change their partners and with patience, composition and love. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experienced abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive female characters in fairytales, who were later rescued by a stranger princeor hero.Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the submissive characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents’ behaviors, she said.” Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can damage their partners.”For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw(缺点) in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door down herself.”72. The passage is especially intended for _________.A. parents with young daughtersB. girls who like reading fairy storiesC. girls who think they can change their partnersD. parents with grown-up daughters73. Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in that _________.A. they all married some princesB. they all changed their partners with loveC. they were all abused by their partnersD. they all put up with abuse74. Which of the following statements is true of the women in a control group?A. They don’t believe in fairy tales.B. They don’t believe in the transformational qualities of love.C. They have also experienced abuse.D. They survived abuse.75. What does the underlined word “submissive” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A. kind-heartedB. obedientC. gentleD. easy-goingSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. The biological clock tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away, and it tells animals and human beings when to eat, sleep and wake.Events outside the plant and animal affect the actions of some biological clock. Scientists recently found, for example, that a tiny animal changes the color of its fur because of the number of hours of daylight. In the short days of winter, its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray brown in color in the longer hours of daylight in summer.Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some kind of internal clock seems to order birds to begin their long migration flight twice each year. Birds prevented from flying become restless when it is time for the trip. But they become calm again when the time of flight has ended.Scientist say they are beginning to learn which parts of the brain contain biological clock. An American researcher, Martin Moorhead, said a small group of cells near the front of the brain seems to control the timing of some of our actions. These cells tell a person when to awake, when to sleep and when to seek food. Scientists say there probably are other biological clock cells that control other body activities.Dr. Moorhead is studying how our biological clocks affect the way we do our work. For example, most of us have great difficulty if we often change to different work hours. It can take many days for a human body to accept the major change in work hours. Dr. Moorhead said industrials officials should have a better understanding of biological clocks and how they affectworkers. He said such understanding could cut sickness and accidents at work and would help increase a factory’s production.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions and complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Booklovers, most of them, will tell you what a pleasure it is to lend a favorite read to a friend –the novel you stayed up all night to get to the end of; the travel book that made you feel as if you yourself were on a train ride through India. For a while it seemed that e-book users were to be denied this pleasure of lending to friends. You could buy a book or magazine for your reading device, but you couldn’t lend it out.But now, with the Nook, the US book chain Barnes and Noble’s response to Amazon’s Kindle, el ectronic readers will be able to press their latest literary enthusiasm on their friends, just like readers of physical books can. You simply email the book from your Nook and your friend can read it for two weeks, using anydevice with the Barnes & Noble e-book reader software. It’s a big improvement from previous e-book readers.The Nook offers other features too. You read in black and white on the main screen, just like with Kindle. The difference is that on the lower part of the device th ere’s a color touch screen. It allows you to browse through a book or magazine, but goes black when you’re not using it so that you save power.Another exciting thing about the Nook is that it offers Wi-Fi (无线上网服务), arguably a big advance on previous e-book readers. Customers in the United States can use the Internet connection to read whole e-books at Barnes and Noble’s hundreds of bookstores for free. None of Barnes and Noble’s competitors can come close to this.But the Nook, ironically, might just turn out to be a money-loser for Barnes and Noble, or at least a job-loser for Barnes and Noble’s employees. According to Marian Maneker at The Big Money Website, if the Nook is successful it mi ght take sales from the company’s bookstores, eventually forcing their closure and the loss of thousands of jobs.81. What do booklovers take pleasure in, according to the passage?82. According to Paragraph 2, your friend will be able to ___________________ with the Nook.83. According to the passage, the three new features of the Nook are: lending books to your friends, a color touch screen and ___________________ in Barnes and Noble’s stores.84. What might happen to Barnes and Noble’s bookstores if the Nook is successful?(Note: Answer the questions and complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)第II卷（45分）I.

He had become financially successful by growing sugarcane at Las Manacas farm in Biran, Oriente Province.Aged six, Castro was sent to live with his teacher in Santiago be Cuba, before being baptized（洗礼）into the Roman Catholic Church at the age of eight. Being baptized enabled Castro to attend the la Salle boarding school in Santiago, where he regularly misbehaved, so he was sent to the privately funded Dolores School in Santiago. In 1945 he transferred to a more famous school, De Belen in Havana. Although Castro took an interest in history,geography and debating at Belen, he did not excel academically, instead devoting much of his time to playing sport.In 1945, Castro began studying law at the University of Havana, where he became involved in student activism, and the violent gangsterism culture within the university. Passionate about anti-imperialism and opposing U.S. interference in the Caribbean, he unsuccessfully campaigned for the presidency of the Federation of University Students on a platform of “honesty, decency and justice”. Castro became critical of the corruption and violence of President Ramon Grau’s government, delivering a public speech on the subject in November 1946that received coverage on the front page of several newspapers.In 1947, Castro joined the Party of the Cuban People, founded by Eduardo Chibas. Chibas advocated social justice, honest government, and political freedom, while his party exposed corruption and demanded reform. Though Chibas lost the election, Castro remained devoted to working on his behalf. Social situation becoming worse, Castor soon received a death threat urging him to leave the university; refusing, he began carrying a gun and surrounding himself with armed friends.25．From paragraph 2, we know that Fidel Castro ________A．had no interest in history.B．performed very well at school.C．spend much time playing sport.D．attended the La Salle boarding school before 8.26．What is the right order of the following events related to Fidel Castro? ________a．delivered a public speechb．entered the University of Havanac．joined the Party of the Cuban Peopled．transferred to famous school, De BelenA．dbac.B．abcd.C．dabc.D．acdb.27．Fidel Castro carried a gun at university ________A．to catch people’s attention.B．to hang out with friend for fun.C．to get involved in the political activities.D．to defend himself against the death threat.28．What does the passage mainly talk about? ________A．the Party of the Cuban People.B．Fidel Castro’s misbehavior at school.C．Cuba’s political situations in the 1940s.D．Fidel Castro’s early life and political activities.CThis month, the singing competition, American Idol, will come to an end. For years, the popular show was a platform for rising artists. With a group of famous judges and a wide range of talents, it is clear that the competitive atmosphere of American Idol will remain unrivaled by any other show. After all, its success has been “unmatched in broadcasting history.”American Idol came from the British series Pop Idol. Through an application, contestants came into the competition and thereafter, were chosen to audition（试音）for the show. Each candidate would have to perform a piece to the judges, and participate in a strict selection process. Not only would contestants have to sing in groups, they were sometimes tasked to perform pieces without musical instruments. At the end of this stage, only 24 o 36 artists were chosen to enter the semi-final stage. Soon, the fate of the contestants would be decided by the public. During the candidate’s live performance, a free telephone number was displayed on the screen for viewers to dial, to cast their vote. At the end of the night, only 13 lucky singers would be left in the competition; by the finals, only 8contestants would remain. Finally, a runner-up（亚军）and a winner were announced every season. Though only the winner would receive a million dollar reward and a significant record deal, other contestants would have had a chance to be known by the public. As the famous producer Simon Cowell once said, “The point of the show is not to be mean to loser, but to find a winner.”As the final season of the program begins, past winners will return to the stage to say goodbye and a new winner will be announced. With amazing performances and an excellent cast of singers, the show’s conclusion will leave audiences nostalgic（怀旧的）, but more satisfied than ever.29．Those who enter American Idol will ________A．share the one million dollar reward togetherB．be asked to perform in pairs in the semi-finalsC．experience at least three rounds of performancesD．have the chance to become famous even if they fail30. Who play the most important roles in the finals of American Idol? ________A．The audiences.B．The past winners.C．The judges.D．The record companies.31．The author thinks the conclusion of American Idol will ________A．change its history.B．be worth watching.C．not be the last season.D．pick her favorite singer32．In which section of the newspaper may you probably find the passage? ________A．Advertisement.B．Finance.C．Entertainment.D．BusinessDA new study suggests that washing dishes by hand is healthier than using a dishwasher.Nobody likes doing the dishes, but it turns out that doing this task might pay off in an unexpected way. According to a new study publishe in the Journal of Pediatrics, washing dishes by hand instead of using a dishwasher might prevent the development of allergies（过敏）.Researchers in Sweden surveyed the parents of 1,029 children aged 7 and 8．They discovered that children whose families hand-washed the dishes instead of using a machine were less likely to have allergies.Earlier research has shown that dishes washed by machine are cleaner than those washed by hand. So why would kids who eat off of slightly dirtier plates be better off when it comes to preventing allergies? One explanation is based on a theory known as the “hygiene hypothesis,” which says the reason kids develop allergies is that their surroundings are actually too clean. Your immune system keeps you healthy by fighting germs（细菌）like bacteria and viruses. But when you have allergies, it overreacts and tries to fight ordinary things like pollen（花粉）or certain foods.Being exposed to germs, especially early in life is good training for the immune system, says the lead author of the study, Dr. Bill Hesselmar of Queen Silvia Hospital in Sweden. “You stimulate the immune system in various ways and it becomes tolerant.”This study shows that while using the dishwasher might be easier, the old-fashioned method of cleaning up could be better for your health.33．What is the benefit of washing dishes by hand? ________A．It can improve our immune system.B．It is easier than washing by machine.C．It costs less time than washing by machine.D．It might reduce the chance of developing allergies.34．What can we learn from paragraph 4? ________A．Our health depends much on our immune system.B．Children in clean environment must have allergies.C．Our immune system can only fight bacteria and viruses.D．Hand-washed dishes are as clean as those washed by machine.35．What do we know about germs from the passage? ________A．Without germs, people won’t get sick.B．There are no germs in clean environment.C．Exposure to germs can improve our immune system.D．Germs like bacteria and viruses do harm to our health.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。

There are 20% more heart attacks on Mondays than on any other day.Heart disease is Britain’s biggest killer. Around 270,000 people suffer a heart attack every year and nearly one in three die before they even reach hospital.High blood pressure, or hypertension, 42 one in five people in the UK and is a majorrisk 43 for heart disease. The higher it climbs, the greater the force exerted(施加) by blood on the walls of the arteries（动脉）when the heart beats.To see how it changed over the course of a week, researchers from Tokyo Women’s Medical University in Japan, fitted 175 men and women with a device that would measure their blood pressure round-the-clock. A week later, the volunteers returned the devices so that researchers could 44 how blood pressure had changed.The results, published in the American Journal of Hypertension, showed a surge(振荡) in readings in those getting ready to go back to work on a Monday morning.

Not only did I succeed in 52 many of my closest friends by trying to control them; I also managed to destroy the most 53 relationship in my life: my relationship with my mother.My mother, who gave birth to me at age 54 her doctor’s wishes, would cry to me, “I waited so long for you. Don’t ignore my help!” I would reply55 , “I never wanted you to care about me! Leave me alone and forget I ever lived!”My mother began to believe I really 56 it. Like many young girls in high school, the boys who I knew were 57 were always the first ones I had to date.

And my only pleasure was to make people feel 59 .But then I asked myself why. Why the need to hurt? Why the attacks on my mother? I would drive myself mad with all the whys until one day I couldn’t60 it any longer and jump from a car moving at 80 miles per hour.Lying awake the following night at the hospital, I saw my mother’s pained face, tired brown eyes filled with nothing but thanks for her daughter’s rebirth of life.61 all the horrible things I did to her, she still loved me.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Children in Bosnia-Herzegovina all know the ancient story of the poor woman who caught a golden fish, released it, and in return gained wealth and happiness. According to a 1998 Associated Press story, this Balkan fairy tale turned into reality for one poor family. Before the start of the Bosnian war, the Malkoc family lived next to a small lake in the northwestern village of Jezero. One day in 1990, Smajo Malkoc returned from a trip to Austria with an unusual gift for his teenage sons, Dzevad and Catib: an aquarium(鱼缸) with two goldfish. Two years passed before Bosnian Serb forces advanced on Jezero.The women and children fled, and the men stayed back to resist the attacking soldiers. Smajo Malkoc was killed. When his wife, Fehima, sneaked back into the destroyed village to bury her husband and rescue what remained of their belongings, she took pity on the fish in the aquarium. She let them out into the nearby lake, saying to herself, “This way, they might be more fo rtunate than us.” Fast-forward to 1995, Fehima Malkoc returned with her sons to Jezero. Nothing but ruins remained of their home and their village. Through misty eyes she looked toward the lake. Glimpsing something strange, she walked over to the shore. “T he whole lake was shining from the thousands of golden fish in it,” she said. “It made me immediately think of my husband. This was something he left me that I never hoped for.”During the years of killing all around the lake, life underwater had flourished. After their return, Fehima Malkoc and her sons started caring for and selling the goldfish. By 1998, homes, stores, and coffee shops all over the region feature aquariums containing fish from Jezero. The Malkoc house, rebuilt on its original site, is one of the biggest in the village. Two new cars are parked in front, and the family says it has enough money to quit worrying about the future. “ It was a special kind of gift from our father,” Dzevad Malkoc said. Whenever one gives, one can never underestimate what a gift of love or an act of kindness might produce.65. Why did the woman let the fish out into the lake?A .She thought of the fairy tale. B.

A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy(认知心理疗法) in Gothenburg suggests a link between the attitudes of women abused by their parents and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to say in destructive relationships as adults.The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with serial abuse because they believed they could change their partners and with patience, composition and love. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experienced abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive female characters in fairytales, who were later rescued by a stranger prince or hero.Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the submissive characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents’ behaviors, she said.” Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can damage their partners.” For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw(缺点) in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door down herself.”72. The passage is especially intended for _________.A. parents with young daughtersB. girls who like reading fairy storiesC. girls who think they can change their partnersD. parents with grown-up daughters73. Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in that _________.A. they all married some princesB. they all changed their partners with loveC. they were all abused by their partnersD. they all put up with abuse74. Which of the following statements is true of the women in a control group?A. They don’t believe in fairy tales.B. They don’t believe in the transformational qualities of love.C. They have also experienced abuse.D. They survived abuse.75. What does the underlined word “submissive” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A. kind-heartedB. obedientC. gentleD. easy-goingSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for eachparagraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76.Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. Thebiological clock tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tellsinsects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away, and it tells animals and human beingswhen to eat, sleep and wake.77. A. Out-of-Body Factors on Biological ClocksB. Brain Cells Controlling Biological ClocksC. Biological Clocks Controlling Birds FlyingD. Benefits Studying Biological ClocksE. Inside-Body Factors on Biological ClocksF. Biological Clocks Controlling ActivitiesEvents outside the plant and animal affect the actions of some biological clock. Scientists recently found, for example, that a tiny animal changes the color of its fur because of the number of hours of daylight. In the short days of winter, its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray brown in color in the longer hours of daylight in summer.78.Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some kind of internal clock seems to order birds to begin their long migration flight twice each year. Birds prevented from flying become restless when it is time for the trip. But they become calm again when the time of flight has ended.79.Scientist say they are beginning to learn which parts of the brain contain biological clock. An American researcher, Martin Moorhead, said a small group of cells near the front of the brain seems to control the timing of some of our actions. These cells tell a person when to awake, when to sleep and when to seek food. Scientists say there probably are other biological clock cells that control other body activities.80.Dr. Moorhead is studying how our biological clocks affect the way we do our work. For example, most of us have great difficulty if we often change to different work hours. It can take many days for a human body to accept the major change in work hours. Dr. Moorhead said industrials officials should have a better understanding of biological clocks and how they affect workers. He said such understanding could cut sickness and accidents at work and would help increase a factory’s production.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully.

The difference is that on the lower part of the device there’s a color touch screen. It allows you to browse through a book or magazine, but goes black when you’re not using it so that you save power.Another exciting thing about the Nook is that it offers Wi-Fi (无线上网服务), arguably a big advance on previous e-book readers. Customers in the United States can use the Internet connection to read whole e-books at Barnes and Noble’s hundreds of bookstores for free. None of Barnes and Noble’s competitors can come close to this.But the Nook, ironically, might just turn out to be a money-loser for Barnes and Noble, or at least a job-loser for Barnes and Noble’s employees. According to Marian Maneker at The Big Money Website, if the Nook is successful it might take sales from the company’s bookstores, eventually forcing their closure and the loss of thousands of jobs.81. What do booklovers take pleasure in, according to the passage?82. According to Paragraph 2, your friend will be able to ___________________ with the Nook.83. According to the passage, the three new features of the Nook are: lending books to yourfriends, a color touch screen and ___________________ in Barnes and Noble’s stores.84.

ACreating a truly unique experience, the world’s original Ice Music Festival returns for its 11th year from the 21～24 January 2016.Constructed and formed from naturally harvested ice and snow, the Festival is a tribute（致敬）to art, the environment and one of the world’s most vital resources—water.

According to the text, the Ice Music Festival ________.A. is held once every other yearB. came into being decades agoC. was founded by Terje IsungsetD. is built of man-made ice and snow22. What can we know about Geilo from the text?A. It can be accessed directly by plane.B. It lies in the northern part of Norway.C. It is ten kilometers away from Aurland.D. It is 3.5 hours’ train ride away from Oslo.23. The text is mainly intended to ________.A. advertise a music festivalB. introduce a place of interestC. show respect to a music pioneerD. inspire people’s interest in musicBWe were driving along the Quaid Orsay toward the Avenue Bosquet at midnight in Paris. As we came to the Pont Alexander Ⅲ, the taxi slowed down, for the traffic light was red against us, and then, without stopping, we sailed through the red light in a sudden burst of speed. The same performance was repeated at the Alma Bridge. As I paid the driver, I asked him why he had driven through two red lights.“You ought to be ashamed of yourself, a driver like you, breaking the law and endangering your life that way,” I protested.He looked at me, astonished.“Ashamed of myself? Why, I’m proud of myself. I am a law-obeying citizen and have no desire to get killed either.” He cut me off. “What did I do? I went through a red light. Well, did you ever stop to consider what a red light is, what it means?”“Certainly,” I replied. “It’s a stop signal and means that traffic is rolling in the opposite direction.”“Half-right,” said the driver, “but incomplete. It is only an automatic signal. And it does not mean that there is cross traffic. I slowed down at the light, looked carefully to the right and to the left. Not another car on the streets at this hour. Well, then! Should I stop like a dumb animal because a brainless machine turns red every 40 seconds? No, Monsieur.I am a man, not a machine. I have eyes and a brain and judgment, given to me by God. Ashamed of myself, you say?”Is this bad or good? Speaking honestly, I am no longer sure. I never doubted that it was wrong to drive through a red light. After more than a decade of life in Paris, however, I find my old Anglo-Saxon standards somewhat shaken. I still think it is wrong to drive through a stop signal, except possibly very late at night, after having carefully checked to make sure there is no cross traffic. After all, I am a man, not a machine.24. According to the first paragraph, the author considered the driver ________.A. braveB. risk-takingC. excitingD. law-obeying25. When the taxi went through a red light again, the writer ________.A. got out of the taxi angrilyB. began to criticize the driverC. decided not to pay the driverD. was at the Alma Bridge then26. The driver dared to drive through the red light because he ________.A. found there was no cross traffic there and thenB. thought it a shame to be controlled by a machineC. knew no other driver would see him at this hourD. used to drive through the red light at midnight27. We can infer from the passage that the writer ________.A. never drives through red lightsB. moved to France one year agoC. probably comes from the UKD. isn’t influenced by the driverCOut of every ten married couples, at least eight of them go through “emot ional divorce”, due to the stresses and pressures of having a special needs child.Explaining the emotional divorce that occurs between the husband and wife, Dr Al Mehrazi, Chairman of the Advisory Board of Family, said, “Emotional divorce means the relationship persists but the emotions die out and there are no feelings any more. It’s as if the father tries to punish the mother for that child. As a result, it can lead to a breakdown of the family and the mother then bears the burden of the special needs child. But sometimes the mother would also abandon her special needs child and focus on her healthy children. Many mothers try to keep the care of the special needs child in the care of the housemaids with no training.”Many families also have a very negative attitude toward having a special needs child, mainly because of the stigma it receives from society. As a result, they generally want to hide the fact that they have a special needs child. This often leads to abandoning or giving very little attention to the special needs child.“This is a challenge in front of us and we need to change this. We need to develop programmes, we need qualified people to work in this field in terms of guidance in helping these families, and we have to adopt clear approaches and methods dealing with conflicts within the family. We can’t let that child be a victim or a source of suffering and divorce, but would like the family to look at the child as a blessing from the heavens.” said Dr Al Mehrazi.Special needs people themselves also have a lot to offer, and in some cases have represented and done more for the UAE than people without disabilities. Special needs people have great power. Some special needs people from the UAE have raised the flag of this country more than some able-bodied people. Special needs people aren’t miserable people.28. The underlined word “persists” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”.A. changesB. stopsC. improvesD. continues29. Wh ich of the following words can best describe most parents’ feeling about having a specialneeds child?A. Ashamed.B. Guilty.C. Regretful.D. Scared.30. In Dr Al Mehrazi’s opinion, ________.A. special needs children help strengthen a familyB. special needs children are a mistake of the heavensC. families with special needs children need professional guidanceD. most mothers take care of their special needs children themselves31. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.A. special needs people are a symbol of the UAEB. people with special needs should learn to contributeC. having special needs doesn’t necessarily mean inabilityD. the disabled contribute more to the UAE than normal peopleDSometimes ideas do not appear when you are concentrating your attention and mysteriously appear when you are not. Modern science recognizes this as a result of incuhating（酝酿）the problem in your subconscious（潜意识）yet can’t account for why it occurs.When you quit thinking about a subject and decide to forget it, your subco n scious mind doesn’t quit working Your thoughts keep making associations. This is why you’ve experienced suddenly remembering names, getting solutions to problems you’ve forg otten about, and ideas out of the blue when you are relaxing and not thinking about any particular thing.You may try solving a problem with your subconscious mind by writing a letter to it. Now let go of the problem. Don’t work on it. Forget it. Do so mething else. This is the incubation stage when much of what goes on occurs outside your focused awareness, in your unconscious. Open the letter in two days. The answer might magically pop into your mind.An advertising agency was under pressure to come up with a marketing campaign. Bert, the creative director, wrote the following letter which he addressed to his Subconscious mind.Secret Expert,I need to come up with a new marketing program to introduce a new season of television shows. I’m interested in some kind of campaign that will capture the audience’s attention more than one time. Is there something people need that we can advertise on? What kind of products, foods and services should we investigate? I need your idea about a fresh approach to advertising.Thanks, BertBert mailed the letter to himself and when he read what he had written, he got his brainstorm, which was to advertise on “eggs”. Somehow an association between “foods”, “need” and “fresh approach” inspired the thoug ht of using “fresh eggs to advertise.” He arranged to put the ad for the television shows on eggs—some thirty million.The consumers look at a single egg at least a few times, when they buy the eggs at the store, when they transfer them to the refriger ator, and when they crack them open. It’s unlike any other ad medium in the world,because you’re looking at it while you are usingit.32. You remember names though you are not thinking about them because yoursubconscious mind ________.A. stops workingB. is still workingC. is full of namesD. improves your memory33. During the incubation stage, your focused awareness _________.A. doesn’t workB. controls your thoughtsC. waits for an answerD. helps your unconscious34. Which of the following was included in Bert’s letter to his subconscious mind?A. What he wanted it to do.B. When he would need its help.C. What product could be advertised.D. How the solution could be found.35. In what way did the ad put on eggs help?A. It greatly increased the sales of eggs.B. It helped Bert to get a brainstorm.C. It made sure that consumers could get fresh eggs.D. It made the TV shows known to people repeatedly.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。

There are 20% more heart attacks on Mondays than on any other day.Heart disease is Britain’s biggest killer. Around 270,000 people suffer a heart attack every year and nearly one in three die before they even reach hospital.High blood pressure, or hypertension, 42 one in five people in the UK and is a major risk 43 for heart disease. The higher it climbs, the greater the force exerted(施加) by blood on the walls of the arteries（动脉）when the heart beats.To see how it changed over the course of a week, researchers from Tokyo Women’s Medical University in Japan, fitted 175 men and women with a device that would measure their blood pressure round-the-clock. A week later, the volunteers returned the devices so that researchers could 44 how blood pressure had changed.The results, published in the American Journal of Hypertension, showed a surge(振荡) in readings in those getting ready to go back to work on a Monday morning. V olunteers who stayed asleep did not experience an increase, which 45 work-related stress is most likely to 46 .“Most people are free of the mental and physical 47 of work on Sundays and experience a more stressful change from weekend 48 activities to work activities on Mondays, ”said Dr. Murakami, who led the research.. “But anyway, there was a 49 peak on Mondays.”III.

Not only did I succeed in 52 many of my closest friends by trying to control them; I also managed to destroy the most 53 relationship in my life: my relationship with my mother.My mother, who gave birth to me at age 54 her doctor’s wishes, would cry to me, “I waited so long for you. Don’t ignore my help!” I would reply 55 , “I never wanted you to care about me! Leave me alone and forget I ever lived!”My mother began to believe I really 56 it. Like many young girls in high school, the boys who I knew were 57 were always the first ones I had to date. I would try to find any way to draw attention to myself while at the same time trying to be 58 . I had also been heavy into drugs then to chang e my personality. And my only pleasure was to make people feel 59 .But then I asked myself why. Why the need to hurt? Why the attacks on my mother? I would drive myself mad with all the whys until one day I couldn’t 60 it any longer and jump from acar moving at 80 miles per hour.Lying awake the following night at the hospital, I saw my mother’s pained face, tired brown eyes filled with nothing but thanks for her daughter’s rebirth of life.61 all the horrible things I did to her, she still loved me. I cried and asked why. She just looked down at me and said frankly, “Because you are my daughter.”62 love is the most precious gift we can give.

According to a 1998 Associated Press story, this Balkan fairy tale turned into reality for one poor family. Before the start of the Bosnian war, the Malkoc family lived next to a small lake in the northwestern village of Jezero. One day in 1990, Smajo Malkoc returned from a trip to Austria with an unusual gift for his teenage sons, Dzevad and Catib: an aquarium(鱼缸) with two goldfish. Two years passed before Bosnian Serb forces advanced on Jezero.The women and children fled, and the men stayed back to resist the attacking soldiers. Smajo Malkoc was killed. When his wife, Fehima, sneaked back into the destroyed village to bury her husband and rescue what remained of their belongings, she took pity on the fish in the aquarium. She let them out into the nearby lake, saying to herself, “This way, they might be more fortunate than us.” Fast-forward to 1995, Fehima Malkoc returned with her sons to Jezero. Nothing but ruins remained of their home and their village. Through misty eyes she looked toward the lake. Glimpsing something strange, she walked over to the sh ore. “The whole lake was shining from the thousands of golden fish in it,” she said. “It made me immediately think of my husband. This was something he left me that I never hoped for.”During the years of killing all around the lake, life underwater had flourished. After their return, Fehima Malkoc and her sons started caring for and selling the goldfish. By 1998, homes, stores, and coffee shops all over the region feature aquariums containing fish from Jezero. The Malkoc house, reb uilt on its original site, is one of the biggest in the village. Two new cars are parked in front, and the family says it has enough money to quit worrying about the future. “ It was a special kind of gift from our father,” Dzevad Malkoc said.

A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy(认知心理疗法) in Gothenburg suggests a link between the attitudes of women abused by their parents and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to say in destructive relationships as adults.The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with serial abuse because they believed they could change their partners and with patience, composition and love. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experienced abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive female characters in fairytales, who were later rescued by a stranger prince or hero.Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the submissive characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents’behaviors, she said.”Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can damage their partners.”For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw(缺点) in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door down herself.”72. The passage is especially intended for _________.A. parents with young daughtersB. girls who like reading fairy storiesC. girls who think they can change their partnersD. parents with grown-up daughters73. Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in that _________.A. they all married some princesB. they all changed their partners with loveC. they were all abused by their partnersD. they all put up with abuse74. Which of the following statements is true of the women in a control group?A. They don ’t believe in fairy tales.B. They don ’t believe in the transformational qualities of love.C. They have also experienced abuse.D. They survived abuse.75. What does the underlined word “submissive ” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A. kind-heartedB. obedientC. gentleD. easy-goingSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. The biological clock tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away, and it tells animals and human beings when to eat, sleep and wake.affect the actions of some biological clock. Scientists recently found, for example, that a tiny animal changes the color of its fur because of the number of hours of daylight. In the short days of winter, its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray brown in78. Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some kind of internal clock seems to order birds to begin their long migration flight twice each year. Birds prevented from flying become restless when it is time for the trip. But they become calm again when the time of Scientist say they are beginning to learn which parts of the brain contain biological clock. An American researcher, Martin Moorhead, said a small group of cells near the front of the brain seems to control the timing of some of our actions. These cells tell a person when to awake, when to sleepand when to seek food. Scientists say there probably are other biological clock cells that control80.Dr. Moorhead is studying how our biological clocks affect the way we do our work. For example, most of us have great difficulty if we often change to different work hours. It can take many days for a human body to accept the major change in work hours. Dr. Moorhead said industrials officials should have a better understanding of biological clocks and how they affect workers. He said such understanding could cut sickness and accidents at work and would help increase a factory’s production.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions and complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Booklovers, most of them, will tell you what a pleasure it is to lend a favorite read to a friend –the novel you stayed up all night to get to the end of; the travel book that made you feel as if you yourself were on a train ride through India. For a while it seemed that e-book users were to be denied this pleasure of lending to friends. You could buy a book or magazine for your reading device, but you couldn’t lend it out.But now, with the Nook, the US book chain Barnes and Noble’s response to Amazon’s Kindle, electronic readers will be able to press their latest literary enthusiasm on their friends, just like readers of physical books can. You simply email the book from your Nook and your friend can read it for two weeks, using any device with the Barnes & Noble e-book reader software. It’s a big improvement from previous e-book readers.The Nook offers other features too. You read in black and white on the main screen, just like with Kindle. The difference is that on the lower part of the device there’s a color touch screen. It allows you to browse through a book or magazine, but goes black when you’re not using it so that you save power.Another exciting thing about the Nook is that it offers Wi-Fi (无线上网服务), arguably a big advance on previous e-book readers. Customers in the United States can use the Internet connection to read whole e-books at Barnes and Noble’s hundreds of bookstores for free. None of Barnes and Noble’s competitors can come close to this.But the Nook, ironically, might just turn out to be a money-loser for Barnes and Noble, or at least a job-loser for Barnes and Noble’s employees. According to Marian Maneker at The Big Money Website, if the Nook is successful it mi ght take sales from the company’s bookstores, eventually forcing their closure and the loss of thousands of jobs.81. What do booklovers take pleasure in, according to the passage?82. According to Paragraph 2, your friend will be able to ___________________ with the Nook.83. According to the passage, the three new features of the Nook are: lending books to your friends,a color touch screen and ___________________ in Barnes and Noble’s stores.84. What might happen to Barnes and Noble’s bookstores if the Nook is successful?(Note: Answer the questions and complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)第II卷（45分）I.
