When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, sending greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really 36 memories. And receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting. My small hands could 37 get the mail without using a key! I always couldn’t wait to see how much I was 38 . Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my 39 . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn’t run—I would open it right there.
After my family moved back to Singapore, I 40 going to the post office. Years later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years ago I celebrated my 41 with five friends on top of the mountain in Longsheng, China. At sunrise we 42 up to a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the afternoon, as we were going 43 the mountain and returning from the sunrise viewing place, a 44 shop caught our attention. It only sold noodles, coffee and had a China 45 sign.
We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed hard to believe, 46 we were at the highest top of the mountain. I picked one postcard out and asked m y friends
to write 47 a birthday note. We bought a stamp, wrote some notes and gave the shop owner the postcard.
Three weeks later, I arrived home and 48 my mailbox: Hello, postcard! I broke into a big smile.
That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office and all its delights. I had 49 the post office all these years. Today I 50 send postcards to friends. And every time I am
at the post office buying stamps, I cannot help but smile—how one postcard will make its way across the world and brighten up someone’s day.

It has more than 845 million users worldwide. If it were a country, it would have the third largest population in the world, behind China and India. This is Face book, a popular website from the US. It is similar to Renren in China.
Mark Zuckerber was born on May 14, 1984. As a little kid, he loved creating little fun computer programs. He set up the network in February of 2004. He was then a second-year student at Harvard University. One day, he had the idea of building a website for Harvard students to get to know each other. He set up the Face book website. Harvard students could share photos and their personal information there. Soon, the website became very famous. Zuckerberg decided to leave Harvard to run Face book full time. It was the biggest adventure in his life and later brought him great success. Now, the service is popular around the world.
Greetings such as “Have you checked your Face book page today?” became a part of young people’s everyday language in the US. People can exchange message and get the latest information about their friends on Face book. Zuckerberg’s dream is to connect people through the Internet. “Face book is to make the world more open and connected,” he said.
What’s the young man’s secret to success? Zuckerberg believes it’s important to have an open mind and be ready to try new things. “The riskiest thing is to take no risks,”he once said in an open letter. Sometimes the simplest ideas go furthest. We hope Mar Zuckerberg can go much further, maybe even further than Bill Gates.
54. The underlined word “it“ in the first paragraph refers to _________.
A. Face book
B. Renren
C. India
D. China
55. People can do the following on Face book except __________.
A. exchange messages
B. share information
C. do online shopping
D. put up photos
56. Which is the correct order of the following events?
a.Zucker studied in Harvard University.
b. Face book is popular around the world.
c. Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvar
d. d. Zuckberg set up the Face book websit
e.
A. a-b-c-d
B. a-c-b-d
C. a-d-b-c
D. a-d-c-b
57. Why did Zuckerberg start Face book?
A. Because he wanted to collect some money.
B. Because he wanted to connect people online.
C. Because he felt bored when studying in Harvard.
D. Because he didn’t know his classmates very well.
C
Smoking in indoor public places including public working places, public transport vehicles and some other special outdoor working places has been banned(禁止)in China since January 2011.Let’s look at the following advantages of banning smoking.
First, banning smoking will not only help in saving smokers from health
problems and diseases, but will also be good for passive(被动)smokers. When
the smoker is smoking in a restaurant, the people around him are sure to breathe
in the smoke and suffer from the diseases an active smoker gets. If smoking is banned, spread of these diseases can be controlled.
Next, banning smoking will put stress on smokers to give up. Since a smoker is prevented from smoking, he will learn how to live without smoking for long hours. When a smoker doesn’t smell or see anybody around him smoking, it might reduce his wish to smoke too. As a result, people have to give up smoking.
Smoking in public places influences non-smokers to start smoking, especially adolescents. When teens see people around them smoking, they will follow them easily. Thus the number of teen smokers will increase. Also asthma(哮喘)and other problems are often seen in children living around smokers. So if it is banned, these places will become safe for children and teenagers.
Looking from the economic point of view, smoking should be banned to increase work productivity(生产率).Employees(雇员)who smoke usually take breaks to smoke while working. So the number of hours they put in their work is smaller.
If you see from the environment point of view, smoking should be banned. Smoking causes air pollution. If it is banned, it will help keep the environment from getting worse.
( )58.________ doesn’t belong to a non-smoking place.
A. A field
B.A hospital
C.A library
D.A restaurant
( )59. The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us ______.
A. banning smoking is good for restaurants
B. banning smoking is good for non-smokers
C. banning smoking is good for spread of diseases
D. banning smoking is good for active smokers and passive smokers
( )60.According to the text, the underlined word “adolescents” means ____.
A. men
B. women
C. adults
D. teenagers
( )61. Which of the following statements in NOT true?
A. If smoking is banned, work productivity will increase.
B. If smoking is banned, the number of teen smokers will be larger.
C. If smoking is banned, it will make the environment become better.
D. If smoking is banned, smokers will learn how to live without smoking.
D
How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world? The sun was probably the world’s first “clock”, except in the far north, where the Eskimos(爱斯基摩人) live. There, it’s dark most of the winter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun for a clock. Even today, if you don’t have a c lock, you still know that when the sun shines, it’s day, and when it’s dark, it’s night. The sun can also tell you if it’s morning, noon, or afternoon.
People who live near the sea ca n tell time from the tides. In the daytime, for about six hours, the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours. Seamen on a ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock.
In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock.
A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom part in exactly one hour. When the hourglass is turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again.
( )62. According to(根据) the passage, there are _______ ways to tell time besides the clock and watch.
A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 7
( )63. The Eskimos in the far north can’t use the sun for a clock becaus e __________.
A. they know very little about the sun
B. the sun there never goes down in winter
C. it’s too cold for them to go out to watch the sun
D. it has long dark winters and long light summers
( )64. The underlined(下划线) word “tides” in the passage means __________.
A. 洋流
B. 潮汐
C. 海啸
D. 波浪
( )65.In which page of a newspaper can you most probably read this passage?
A. News
B. Science
C. Business
D. Advertisement

六、任务型阅读 (共10空；每空1分，计10分)
阅读以下短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。

〔每空一词〕
Many Chinese who travel to the US find that t hough they have studied English for years, they have to “re-learn” it as soon as they arrive.
Words that we learned in English classes are not pronounced the same way here. To truly be part of the “melting pot”, fluency〔流利〕in English is not enough. You need an accent(口音) to stand out.
When I first came to the US for graduate school, 1 was a nervous foreigner．I felt so out of place that I wanted to hide everything about me that was “different”. To talk like an American became one of my goals.
During my first term as a teaching assistant(TA), my students co mplained they could not understand me. I learned later from a study that this complaint was common among US students with an international TA. It is called the “Oh, no!” syndrome (情绪、举动), “Oh, no! Not another international TA, and not that accent again!’’
So I imitated(模仿) the way native speakers talk over time, I made such good progress that American friends started to think highly of my English as having “almost no accent’’. I took this as a sign of my success. Ever since, people have often thought of me as someone from many places: the Midwest, the West Coast, China, Japan, South Korea. Most often, people think I am from California.
Suddenly, conformity (一致) was no longer a praise〔表扬〕: If I talk like an American，am I still Chinese? If I lose my Chinese accent，do I also lose my cultural identity(身份)? Am I denying 〔否认〕my past by being lost in a new culture?
Now I realize that a person’s accent is a ever-lasting record of their past cultural experience and it is a mark of one’s experience.
As a fourth-year student in the US, I am no longer a nervous foreigner. My nervousness has been replaced by a wish to hold on to my cultural origins. Now I add some Chi nese “accent” on purpose when I speak．I do not wish to speak “perfect” English because I am proud of who I am.
My Feeling of Speaking English in America
Time Supporting detai ls
At the (76) _________ I have to relearn English (77) ________ arriving there, for my pronunciations of words are not the same as native (78)_________. My students complained that I couldn’t make myself (79)_______.
During my (80)_________ I made great (81) ________ in spoken English by imitating the (82) ______ local speakers talk.
People often (83) ______ me as someone from the Midwest，the West Coast，China, California and so on．
At present I think it necessary to keep my (84) ________ origins.
I often speak English, (85)_________ some Chinese “accent” because I am proud of being a Chinese.
