21．（6分）She sat at the picnic table alone. Recess(休息) was in full swing. She remained awkward around her classmates. She seemed unsure of what to do or say, yet I could see her eyes longing for acceptance. Many students had already decided that her friendship would not be worth the energy required to overcome the awkwardness. Others teased her. Most ignored her — except for one.
Brianna, the class clown, was making the other students laugh, as usual. “Brianna, do you see Molly down there? Would you mind walking down there and inviting her to come up here with the rest of us?”
Brianna sighed. I could tell she didn’t want to sacrifice precious minutes of her own recess to do what I was asking of her, but I also knew her heart. She often thought of others before herself — a rare character for anyone, much less a kid.
Knowing this choice was hard for her, I pulled out a D-buck, our class currency. Though bribery(行贿) was not the ideal way to handle this situation, I needed her cooperation.
“Here, I’ll pay you for your time.”
She offered an insincere smile, grasped the green paper, and headed down the hill.
As the rest of the children screamed and laughed, my eyes locked on Brianna as she neared the picnic table. Molly could be difficult, and I wouldn’t have been surprised if she sent Brianna back alone, refusing her invitation. When she encouraged herself to a standing position, I sighed with relief.
A minute later, 1 felt tap on my shoulder. “Here, Mrs. D．” She handed me th e
D-buck.
“ Why?” I asked.
“I shouldn’t keep this.” Her eyes fell to her feet, guilt radiating from her quiet voice.
“I don’t want Molly to think 1 only went to get her so I could earn a muck. She’s my friend.”
A moment later, they were all laughing again, and who should I see among them, laughing for the first time that week? Molly.
1、According to the author, what was Molly like?
A．She ignored the jokes from other kids. B．She felt awkward at being teased. C．She desired to be accepted by other kids. D．She had no energy to make friends. 2、What distinguished Brianna from other kids?
A．Her clown talent. B．Her cooperation.
C．Her honesty. D．Her kindness.
3、How did the author feel as Brianna walked to Molly?
A．Worried. B．Satisfied.
C．Exicted. D．Confused.
4、What wa s the purpose of Brianna’s returning the ID-buck to the author?
A．TO avoid losing it one day.
B．TO get a pure friendship with Molly.
C．TO bribe her teacher.
D．TO’ escape from being scolded by her teacher:
22．（8分）When Oscar Pistorius was convicted (证明有罪的)murder last month, the judge described the case as a “human tragedy of Shakespearean proportions”. The Paralympic athlete’s fall from grace made this comparison appropriate: overcoming severe disability to reach “Olympian heights”, falling in love with a bea utiful model, and, in a coincidence that wouldn’t be out of place in one of the plays, taking her life on Valentine’s Day. Mr. Pistorius’s tragic flaw was that he was an excessive paranoia（偏执狂）, which showed itself in an enthusiasm for guns.
Mr. Pistorius’s case is, indeed, peculiarly Shakespearean. But Justice Eric Leach, who delivered the judgment, is but one of those who have turned to the playwright in times of legal need. In 2012, Britain’s High Court quoted “King Lear” in a trial regarding a “threatening” joke on Twitter — they eventually overturned a conviction on the grounds that social-media users “are free to speak not what they ought to say, but what they feel”. A choice snippet of “Hamlet” (“a little patch of ground that hath no profit in it but the name”) was quoted in a 2008 boundary dispute. “Henry VIII” was
called forth by Senator Sam Ervin Jr during the Watergate hearings. The condemnation of Dzokhar Tsarnaev, involved in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, was sealed with lines from “Julius Caesar”: “the evil that men do lives after them; the good is often buried with their bones.”
Lawyers’ love of Shakespeare is appropriate given that more of his lines are devoted to discussing law than any other profession. Some think his knowledge of the
la w was so detailed that the “real” Shakespeare must have been a lawyer. A study by Scott Dodson and Ami Dodson published last year set out to discover “the most literary justice” of those currently sitting(开庭), and which authors were regularly turned to for quotable wisdom. The “most abundant citer and the widest read” was found to be Antonin Scalia, and — no surprise — William Shakespeare topped the list of the
often-quoted, along with Lewis Carroll. Both Shakespeare and Carroll accumulated sixteen references from five justices. Other popular authors among the bench were George Orwell, Charles Dickens, Aldous Huxley and Aesop.
The words of Shakespeare are likely to be sounded around courtrooms for decades to come as many universities — particularly in America and Britain — have included him in their law courses. Harvard Law School offers a seminar which focuses entirely on “justice and morality in the plays of Shakespeare”. King’s College London’s “Shakespeare and the Law” model is co-taught by the Literature and Law faculties, and explores “the role of the law in mediating the place of the individual within society”. There are sensible reasons behind this; the University of Southampton, in line with recent studies, states that it offers the opportunity to study law through a literary prism of Shakespeare, Dickens, Kafka and others in order to “help law students to become more ethically sharp”. A study argues that reading literary fiction makes people show empathy, challenge prejudice, and be more flexible in their decision-making. A literary sensibility enables lawyers to present clear, structured opinions and briefs.
But what is it about the work of Shakespeare, in particular, that lends itself to legal quotation and reflection? After all, as Robert Peterson p ointed out in “The Bard and the Bench”, all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays have been quoted by American courts, in over 800 judicial opinions. One answer lies in the fact that Shakespeare’s status embodies high culture; quoting him seeks to invest the judgment with credibility and induce a sense of history. Mr. Peterson notes that this can “drive decisions in authentic ways”. Another
option is Shakespeare’s universality — everyone has either read, or claims to have read, plays like “Hamlet”. His works have become globally shared; the term “Shakespearean tragedy” induces a rise-and-fall story even if the listener is not familiar with the works themselves. The horrifying details of Mr. Pistorius’s actions on that night, placed in a familiar Shakespearean frame, helps members of the court, and the public, to make sense of the unnecessary bloodshed.

23．（8分）When she won the first ever season of American Idol 11 years ago, critics believed she had little chance of staying on top. Too “girl next door”, they said. Not stylish enough. Not thin enough, either.
But Kelly Clarkson, 31, has proven them all wrong with her string of worldwide hits, from Because of You to the recent Catch My Breath.
Being the first Idol winner in the US was not easy. In the past decade since that victory, Clakson has had to deal with the media’s scrutiny of her weight and personal style. “Everyone’s like, ‘You’re a pop star. You should be smaller’.” Clarkson told People Magazine. “But I’m the pop star. I’ll make the rules.”
Since middle school, Clarkson has been aware of the power of her voice. She first joined the school choir (合唱队) at age 13 when a teacher heard her singing in the hallway and demanded that she join. “Singing gave me confidence,” Clarkson told the Orange County Register, a newspaper in California. “Friends at school were nervous because they didn’t know what the y wanted to do with the rest of their lives, but I had a peaceful feeling inside, because I knew. ”
Despite her enormous publicity, Clarkson has remained true to her down-to-earth personality. “The reason some winners fade away is that they’re trying to mo del themselves on somebody else. If we already have the original, why would we need a copy? You need to be offering something new, something that’s uniquely you, ”she told the Daily Mail. Around her rib cage (胸腔) is her new tattoo (纹身), indicating how strong she has become from all that she’s been through. It reads: “What doesn’t kill you.”
1、How did critics think of Kelly?
A．Unique.
B．Plain.
C．Beautiful-looking.
D．Extraordinary.
2、How did Kelley prove critics wrong?
A．By losing weight.
B．By winning some medals.
C．By giving some worldwide concerts.
D．By publishing some very famous songs.
3、What does the under lined word in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Tough inspection.
B．Extreme curiosity.
C．Complete exposure.
D．Accurate calculation
4、How did Kelly differ from her friends at school?
A．Being very confident.
B．Having a definite life goal.
C．Having tattoo around her cage.
D．Having down-to-earth personality.

25．（10分）In my very first jo b with some archaeologists, I wasn’t digging objects out of the ground, instead I was employed as an artist, drawing what they found. However, I was soon more interested in the stories behind the objects than in drawing them and that’s how my career in arc haeology started. I still draw what I find in my work as a specialist on the Silk Road, the old trade route running from Egypt to Mongolia, and I also work on some underwater projects too.
In archaeology, my all-time hero is an American called Raphael Pumpelly. I first heard about him when I was a student on a trip to Turkmenistan, a country right in the heart of Asia. To get around the country, I had to learn Russian so that I could speak to
the local people. When I got there I thought, “Wow! I’m one of th e first Americans here!” Then an old man told me about an American archaeologist, Raphael Pumpelly, who was there doing the same thing over 100 years ago.
Archaeology’s in my family. My wife’s in the same profession, and, although our two boys aren’t interested in the future in archaeology themselves, we’ve been on some great digs together and they love what we do because they get to travel with us. Last summer, we took them to Lake Titicaca in South America, in the high areas of the Andes mountain range. My best experience was when I was digging on the Egyptian Red Sea coast. There’s very little rain and it’s so dry that everything is kept as it was. In an old house, where the owner used to store goods from the ships that came in, I picked up a 700-year-old mat in front of the house and there, under it, after all that time, was the house key with the owner’s name carved on it. It felt like he could be on his way home any minute! And I thought, “Hey, I do just that. This man’s not much different to me!”
1、While working in Egypt, what did the writer find so interesting?
A．That people from different centuries can be so similar.
B．The fact that the doormat was in such good condition.
C．The way the people managed to live in such a dry place.
D．That there had been so much trade in that area.
2、Which entry will the writer probably make in his diary?
A．Turkmenistan is interesting. I’m the first American to come here but I’m glad this is my last trip away.
B．I have been diving today and found some objects for an exhibi tion. I’ve just finished drawing them for my records.
C．I wish my children weren’t more interested in archaeology and would not work hard in the open like their parents.
D．It’s nearly dark but Raphael’s still busy digging in that old house. He can be very annoying. He thinks he’s the most important person here.
3、What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the text?
A．To describe the life of an archaeologist he admires.
B．To persuade people to take up archaeology as a career.
C．To explain what he enjoys about being an archaeologist.
D．To show how archaeologists work.

A study, 1 in the latest edition of Ecology and Evolution, reveals the 2 age of some Amazonian tree species -- more than 8 million years -- and 3 shows that they have survived previous periods as warm as many of the global warming imagined periods 4 for the year 2100.
The authors write that, having survived warm periods in the past, the trees will
5 survive future warming, provided there are no other major environmental changes.
6 extreme droughts and forest fires will impact Amazonia as temperatures
7 , the trees will stand the direct impact of higher temperatures. The authors
8 that as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions to minimize the risk of drought and fire, conservation policy should remain
9 on preventing deforestation（采伐森林）for agriculture and mining.
The study disagrees with other recent researches which predicted tree species’ extinctions 10 relatively small increases in global average air temperatures.
Study co-author Dr Simon Lewis (UCL Geography) said the 11 were good news for Amazon tree species, but warned that drought and over-exploitation of the forest remained major 12 to the Amazon’s future.
Dr Lewis said: “The past cannot be compared directly with the future. while tree species seem likely to 13 higher air temperatures than today, the Amazon forest is being transformed for agriculture and 14 , and what remains is being degraded by logging, and increasingly split up by fields and roads.
“Species will not move as freely in today’s Amazon as they did in previous warm periods, when there was no human 15 . Similarly, today’s climate change is extremely fast, making comparisons with slower changes in the past 16 .”
“With a clearer 17 of the relative risks to the Amazon forest, we 18 that direct human impacts -- such as forest clearances for agriculture or mining -- should remain a key point of conservation policy. We also need more aggressive 19 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to make minimum the risk of drought and fire impacts and 20 the future of most Amazon tree species.”

29、Dear Tom,
Learning that you are interested in China’s four great new inventions.I’m writing to briefly introduce one of the four---Alipay.
Alipay is a software that can transfer the money from your bank account into the application so that you are able to pay for things using your phone. It is the widespread use of Alipay that saves us the trouble of taking cash.
In my opinion, I’m for Alipay because we can buy things in a more convenient way. However, personal information could be revealed, so we need to use it properly.
If you want to know more, feel free to ask! Looking forward to your reply!
Yours,
Li Hua。
