It was going to be great! I would lie on the beach in the sun. Perhaps I would surf a little or ride my bike around Coronado Island.Meanwhile, I would spend every morning, Monday through Friday, teaching YMCA (Young Men‟s Christian Association) kids how to play tennis…for FREE. Since college wasn‟t too far off, and since I had practically zero hours of community service, my volunteering at the YMCA was smart. I like tennis and I even kind of like little kids. Anyway, life was going to be amazing for those three weeks.On my first day at the YMCA, I was shocked by the smallness of the children. The kids could barely grasp a racket(球拍), let alone swing one. This is when it occurred to me how potentially terrible the situation was—a group of thirty small children with rackets in hand and only four coaches. The odds were definitely against us. Luckily, the kids did not have blood on their minds, and they were relatively obedient and cooperative.It soon became painfully obvious that I was the only “coach” actually coaching. Rather ironic when one considered that I was the only one of the four NOT being paid. I must admit, however, that despite all of my efforts these children were not getting much. I had to keep telling myself that while I couldn‟t enjoy the fruits of my labor at the moment, I would be reveling in the benefits once college application time came. Thus, I soldiered on.As I returned home the day before the opening of school, I had complete peace of mind. Although I did not spend every day at the beach as I had initially hoped to do, I did accomplish several things and I felt as if I were a better person because of my three weeks in San Diego.56. Before going to San Diego the author was full of ______.A. expectationB. confidenceC. doubtD. curiosity57. The author taught YMCA kids to play tennis because she ______.A. loved small children and was active as a volunteerB. must do community service to be admitted to collegeC. wanted to earn some money to pay for her college feesD. would like to do something for others as a sincere Christian58. The underlined words “I soldiered on” reflec t the author‟s ______.A. desire to join the armyB. love for teaching tennisC. control for young learnerD. determination not to give up59. According to the last paragraph, we can predict that the author will ______ in the future.A. become a teacherB. move to the beachC. play tennis professionallyD. help others more willinglyBLICENSE AGREEMENTBy installing(安装) the software, you acknowledge that you have read all of the terms and conditions of this agreement and agree to be bound by them.

These lionfish are what scientists call an invasive(侵入的) species(物种) or an “alien invader.”Local divers off the coast of North Carolina were not expecting to see what they found one day in August 2002—the beautiful lionfish, common to the warm waters of the western Pacific, but unknown of the Carolina coast. They provided the first solid evidence that lionfish were in the Atlantic.A year later, scientists documented 19 lionfish sightings at eight locations along the North Carolina continental shelf. Then, lionfish were observed off the coasts of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, and even as far north as Long Island, New York! Between 2000 and 2003, lionfish sightings were reported at 16 different shipwrecks and natural hard bottom locations. During a summer 2004 research expedition, NOAA(The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) scientists collected 155 lionfish at 19 different locations off the North Carolina coast alone. The jump in numbers and distributions over such a short time strongly indicates that the lionfish is reproducing in the Atlantic Ocean. If this is true, it‟s the first time tha t a western Pacific fish has populated the U.S. Atlantic coast.These lionfish were likely released on purpose when people no longer wanted them! The swift and warm Gulf Stream, which transported the floating lionfish eggs from Florida northward, helped th e lionfish‟s Atlantic journey. In Florida waters and along the continental shelf near the Gulf Stream the temperatures are very similar to the lionfish‟s native waters.However, from north Florida upward, the waters along the coastline are too cold in the winter for lionfish to survive. Scientists expect them to survive the winter only at water depths greater than 120ft because this is where the Gulf Stream has influence all year long. Very importantly, the types of predators(食肉动物) and competitors present in the Atlantic are very different from the native range of the lionfish. Generally, the lionfish have not been found to endanger marine ecosystems because they were not likely to survive long.63. Scientists call the lionfish an “alien invader” because t he lionfish ______.A. have damaged the native speciesB. are able to live in a new environmentC. came from one place and spread to anotherD. will attack other species with their poisonous teeth64. How does the author support the reproducing of lionfish in the Atlantic in Para.3?A. By analyzing causes.B. By providing figures.C. By raising questions.D. By expressing opinions.65. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A. Lionfish got into the Atlantic Ocean in 2002.B. Lionfish will not live long in the new environment.C. Lionfish is a popular aquarium fish in the United States.D. Lionfish has been populating the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.66. What is the author‟s attitude towards the lionfish invasion?A. Serious.B. Disapproving.C. Optimistic.D. Indifferent.DWhy Laughter MattersAlthough most people believe that laughter is one of the nature‟s great treatments for a whole range of mental and physical diseases, it is still a serious scientific subject that researchers are trying to figure out.“Laughter above all else is a social thing,” says Baltimore neuroscientist, Robert Provine, who has studied laughter for decades. “All laughter groups laugh …ha-ha-ha‟ basically the same way. Whether you speak Mandarin, French or English, everyone will understand laughter. There is a pattern generator(发生器) in our brain that produces this sound.”Laughing is our first way of communicating. Babies laugh long before they speak. No one teaches them how to laugh. They just do. People may laugh at a prank(恶作剧) on April Fools‟ day. But surprisingly, only 10 to 15 percent of laughter is the result of someone making a joke. Laughter is mostly about social responses rather to a joke. Deaf people laugh without hearing and people on cell phones laugh without seeing, showing that laughter isn‟t dependent on single sense but on social interactions.And laughter is not just a people thing. Chimps tickle(挠痒) each other and even laugh when another chimp pretends to tickle them.Jaak Panksepp, a Bowling Green University Psychology professor, studies rats that laugh when he tickles them. It turns out rats love to be tickled—they return again and again to the hands of researchers tickling them.By studying rats, sc ientists can figure out what‟s going on in the brain during laughter. Northwestern University biomedical engineering professor, Jeffrey Burgdorf has found that laughter in rats produces a chemical that acts as an antidepressant(抗抑郁药). He thinks the same thing probably happens in humans, too. This would give doctors a new chemical target to develop drugs that can fight depression.Even so, laughter itself has not been proved to be the best medicine, experts said. Margaret Stuber, a professor at University of California, studied whether laugher helped patients. She found that distraction(分心) and mood improvement helped, but she could not find a benefit of laughter alone.“No study has shown that laughter produces a direct health benefit,” Provine said, largely because it‟s hard toseparate laughter from just feeling good. But he thinks it doesn‟t really matter: “Isn‟t the fact that laughter feels good when you do it enough?”67. The most important finding of Robert Provine‟s research is that ______.A. laughter makes a person feel goodB. laughter depends on different sensesC. laughter is a quality people are born withD. laughter is a social response shared by all creatures68. According to the passage, scientists studied rats in order to find ______.A. if they can laughB. if they like laughingC. what laughter in rats producesD. how rats react while being tickled69. What can we learn from the passage?A. Patients will recover if they laugh enough.B. Laughter is a means of communication as well as language.C. A new medicine has been developed based on the laughter research.D. Scientists can know what is happening in a human brain when he laughs.70. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?A.B. C.D. CP P1P2 P3 C SpSp P1 CP Sp2 P2 Sp1 C CP P1 P2 CSp1 Sp2 CP P1 P2 P3 CCP: Central point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: ConclusionSeeing with SoundAccording to a British news report, some blind peop le may finally get a chance to “see”. __71 Dr. Peter Meijer, a scientist at Philips Research Laboratories in the Netherlands, has developed a new system called the vOICe. The three middle letters in vOICe stand for “Oh, I see.” Meijer‟s groundbreaking te chnology may change the lives of visually impaired (视力障碍) people all over the world.A wearable setup of vOICe system consists of a head-mounted camera, stereo headphones and a notebook PC. The system translates visual images from a camera into complex sounds. __72The program is based on the theory that people can hear certain sounds and learn to translate them into meaningful mental images. Everything has its own unique sound. 73 The height of an object or person could be determined by pitch(音调). And a built-in color identifier speaks out color names when it is turned on. What the VOICE users had to learn is which sound went with which object. Meijer says that he is counting on the brain‟s ability to adapt.__74 Within two weeks, most people who experiment with the VOICE system are able to identify objects such as walls and doors. They are also able to identify certain situations, including whether the lights in a room are on or off. 75 Meijer thinks that translating will eventually become automatic for many users of the VOICE, bringing a form of vision to them for the very first time.A. Brighter areas sound louder than darker areas.B. It then sends these sounds to a person through headphones.C. However, they are not learning to see with their eyes; they are learning to see with their ears.D. The VOICE system is aiming to treat blindness by translating images from a camera into audio signals.E. Meijer supposes that the brain is interested in the information “content”, but not the information “carrier”.F. To evaluate the new system‟s effectiveness, a number of visually impaired people were chosen to test theVOICE.G. Over time, some users have even learned to “watch” television or “recognize” the outlines of buildings as theywalk.第四部分：书面表达(共两节，35分)第一节情景作文(20分)假设你是红星中学高二（1）班的学生李华。

Now many students have iPads and think it’s a fashion to use them. Using an iPad, we can listen to music, download a lot of learning materials and read them on the screen. Apparently, it is helpful to our study, especially to our English listening.Some students, however, bring their iPads to classrooms and listen to music with earphones, which makes the teacher and other students greatly annoyed. What’s worse, some of them even waste precious time in class playing video games.In my opinion, as a student, we should make good use of iPads. The classroom is a place for students to study, and therefore, concentration is badly needed for us to learn our lessons. Furthermore, the school should make a rule to guide the students to use iPads in a proper way.Yours sincerely,Li Hua。

Jason woke up 21 a couple of days later, and Sam was 22 unconscious (昏迷的).Dr. Berkeley kept standing at Sam’s bedside looking at his health chart. When he found Sam 23_，he smiled at him and asked. “How are you 24 today, kid?” Sam tried to appear 25, sayi ng, “absolutely wonderful, Doctor.” Dr Berkeley was 26 by what Sam had decided to do for his best friend Jason. But what he 27 say was, “Y ou are very strong in heart and God bless you”. While he was moving 28 the next patient, Sam called back at him almost pleading (祈求)，“_29me that you won’t tell Jason anything”. “I won’t do that.

Simonton is talking about more than just wisdom. A true genius, therare member of society, is a Renaissance human who can completely change the way we understand the world. Geniuses are people who come up with “surprising ideas that are not a mere extension (延伸）of what is already known”.A historical tour through the scientific revolution contains many people who fit this definition (定义)，such as Einstein, Copernicus, Darwin, Galileo, Newton and Marie Curie. Each man and woman totally upended (颠覆)entire fields of research, or created entirely new ones. Simonton argues: “When was the last time that someone forced us to rewrite the textbooks in some f ield? Can you think of anybody since DNA? Stephen Hawking? I’m not so sure by my definition. Just a highly creative scientist.”So let’s agree we’ve lost modem geniuses. Actually people are not duller as a whole and certainly scientists have high IQs. They probably have more original intelligence than people like Copernicus, because they have to gain so much more experience and knowledge to even become practiced in their fields. “Once you didn’t need to go to college to become a great scientist. Later you needed college but not graduate school (研究生院).Then graduate school but not a post-doctoral school.” Simonton said. “It’s becoming increasingly difficult to be a learned scientist.”The biggest and most fundamental problems in science have been solved. Every new advancement is just fitting in a piece in a larger puzzle. The scientists who will do this are still honorable individuals: Simonton compares them to Olympians. Just as athletes can win an Olympic gold medal by beating the world record only by a small part of a second, scientists can receive Nobel prizes for improving a small bit of theories.But the next great advances in research are combination of the classic subjects, Simonton points out. In the last century, we’ve gained astro-biology, astro-physics, bio-chemistry, and the like. When two subjects are mixed now, the result builds upon the work in the two subjects.Are there any great chances for combination of the major subjects? For biology, maybe it’s the origin of life: What’s the spark that got amino acids (氨基酸）to form proteins that eventually result in cells? In physics, maybe it’s the inability to unite gravity with the three other forces of nature. “It ;nay well be that the only way to unite the four forces of nature is to rebuild physics from the ground up. That would take a major revolution. It takes only one new scientific genius to do that,” he wrote.41.How many geniuses does Keith Simonton mention in the passage?A. 3B. 5C. 6D. 742.What is a genius according to Mr. Simonton’s definitio n?A. A creative man who can invent many thingsB. A wise human born in the Renaissance daysC. A person who can change the idea of the worldD. A scientist who extends our knowledge greatly43.Simonton believes people nowadays .A. are less intelligent than former generationsB. can’t think as properly as Copernicus didC. are not working hard to be knowledgeableD. need more education to become scientists44.In Simonton’s eyes, modem scientists are making their contribution byA. improving theories a bitB. solving biggest problemsC. performing honorable deedsD. receiving Nobel prizes45.From the last two paragraphs, we learn that future scientific geniuses .A. will know a classic subject thoroughlyB. should work on more than one subjectC. must understand amino acids and cellsD. can explain the four forces of nature3BStarting to learn how to swim can be scary and for adults, embarrassing. This is a way you can learn how to swim by yourself without another person. The steps are detailed to help explain the exercise. Once you are comfortable with the exercises, go to the next step. Now, get out there and have fun!Step 1First find the area you wil l practice in. Water should be at least to your waist but lower than your neck. If you experience any problems all you have to do is stand up.Start by holding onto the edge of the pool. Kick up your feet, and kick your legs alternately. Next, keep yourself under water for 5 seconds. Exhale (呼气）when the 5 seconds end as you are going up towards the surface. Breathe in after your head breaks the surface and go back under water for another 5 seconds. Repeat for 5 minutes.Step 2Take out your floating device (装置) Put it under your arms. Kick your feet up and practice kicking like you do on step 1 with the wall. For now, keep your head out of the water. Practice holding your breath and going under water, but try holding your breath for 10 seconds. Repeat for 5 minutes.Step 3Put your floating device under your arms. This time, while kicking, put your head in the water for five seconds. Exhale in the water as you bring your head out of the water towards the side of your body. Breathe in quickly and then put your head back in the water. Continue with this for 10 minutes.Along with breathing to the side, practice lifting your head straight out of the water. Exhale as you lift your head out of the water after five seconds, breathe in quickly and then put your head in the water again. Practice for 5 minutes.Step 4You are now going to start using your arms to support yourself. Place the floating thing under your chest and use your arms to move yourself. To do this, hold your arms out like a T, ball your fists and bring your arms into your chest. Then open your fists into a straight palm (手掌）and straighten out your arms until they are straight and in line with your head. Next, start to open your arms to go into the T position again.Use force to move yourself and gently pull your arms into your chest. With the floating device you can start slowly, but eventually this should be a smooth, quick single motion. Continue your breathing exercise. Try to hold your breath for longer than 10 seconds.Step 5Now add kicking to your first exercise in step 4. While your arms are not moving you should always be kicking. You can alternate (交替）moving your arms and kicking. Move your body in the direction you want to go.Once you are able to kick and move your arms, add breathing, with your head going straight out of the water. Inhale (吸气）when your arms are in T position. You will exhale on step 3 and bring your head out of the water during step 4 to inhale and go back under on step 1.Practice these exercises until you can do them all together without pausing or slowing. Step 6Now it is time to remove your floating device. Start by kicking your feet up, or you can kick off the bottom of the pool sending you into a forward motion.Start moving your arms immediately like you do in step 4. Breathe by lifting your head straight up. Continue the exercise.46.The passage is mainly about how to_______.A. overcome water fearB. breathe under waterC. teach yourself to swimD. follow a coach to swim47.Which step is concentrated on the training of arms?A. Step 1B. Step 2C. Step 3D. Step 448.The purpose of Step 5 is to_______.B.add kicking to your arm movementC.alternate moving your arms and kickingD.move your body in the direction you want to gobine the movements of arms, legs and body with breath449.One particular exercise runs through all six steps, which is _______.A. the use of floating deviceB. the moving of the armsC. the practice of breathingD. the kicking of the feetCRecent stories in the press about teenage cyberbullying (网络欺凌）and real-world bullying are worrying. It’s hard to know how much cyberbullying contributed to her decision to kill herself, but the case of Phoebe Prince, a 15-year-old girl from Massachusetts, brings tears to my eyes. There is also the case of Alexis Pilkington, a 17-year-old girl from New Y ork，who committed suicide last month after being cruelly commented on the Web site. There are countless more bullying and cyberbullying cases that don’t makeheadlines. And cases like these have resulted in a bullying panic.However, when it comes to bullying in general, the trend is moving in the right direction. A study published last month in a medical journal found that the percentage of youth reporting physical bullying in the past year went down from 22% to 15%. Another national study of youth bullying came to a similar conclusion. It found that 84% of youth said they wouldn’t forward (转发）an embarrassing e-mail about someone else and only 6 percent said they would. In fact, young people are actually more responsible, more involved in their community, and more tolerant of diversity than they were 20 years ago.Not all surveys have the same results, though. In February, the Cyberbullying Research Center interviewed 4,000 teenagers from a large U.S. school district and found that ov erall 20.7% of teens say they’ve been cyberbullied in their lifeti mes with 7.4% saying they’ve been cyberbullied in the past 30 days. A survey conducted last year found that approximately 19% of teens say they’ve been cyberbullied online or via text messa ge and that 10% say they’ve cyberbullied someone else.There is no denying that there is a problem and I certainly don’t want to sugarcoat (裹以糖衣）it, but it’s also important to look at it from the positive side as well. T aking the issue positively is actual ly a strategy that can help reduce bullying. A better strategy is to try to convince young people that bullying is not only wrong and unacceptable but is abnormal behavior.Adults need to be good role models. Politicians need to think about this next time they make angry remarks against an opponent (对手) Media personalities and talk show hosts need to think about the messages they’re giving to children when they engage in name calling. We all need to be aware of comments we make in the presence of children and even people who comment on blogs need to think about the difference between legal criticism and derision (嘲笑) Children learn by observing our behavior, and there are plenty of adults who behave like bullies.Changing behavior isn’t easy, but it’s not impossible. I’ve been watching the TV show Mad Men, which is set in the 1960s when it was acceptable to smoke around other people, ride in cars without seat belts, leave rubbish everywhere, and make bullying comments. We haven’t yet completely got rid of any of those dangerous or antisocial behaviors, but we’ve come a long way. With joint effort and national leadership, we can do the same with the problem of bullying.50.The author uses the two cases of bullying in Para.l to_______.A. introduce the topicB. support the argumentC. stress the panicD. express his sympathy51.From Para. 2 we know that _______.A. bullying is almost out of controlB. bullying in general is on the increaseC. bullying tends to be on the declineD. bullying is like a disease spreading fast52.What can we do to help reduce bullying effectively according to the passage?A. Look at its positive sides.B. Avoid commenting before teenagers.C. T ake legal measures.D. Educate the young with good behavior.53.The problem of bullying is_______.A. disturbing but can be solved with effortsB. worrying and causes constant painC. alarming and calls for immediate actionD. discouraging and wastes our energy54.What might be the best title of the passage?A. Guidance for Young PeopleB. Teenage Cyberbullying and Ways OutC. Research on Teenage BullyingD. Bullying—A New Challenge5DI was on a 14-day voyage across the Pacific. I shared the same room with Mr. Kelada.I disliked Mr. Kelada. He was chatty. He talked of New York and San Francisco, plays, pictures, and politics. In three days he knew everyone on board. He was certainly the best hated man in the ship. He enjoyed argument. He knew everything better than others, and the possibility of his being mistaken never occurred to him.A man called Ramsay bitterly hated him.Ramsay was an American Embassy serviceman in Japan. He was on his way back to his post, after a visit to New York to fetch his wife who had been spending a year at home. His wife was pretty. Her husband was badly-paid, and she was dressed simply; but she knew how to wear her clothes. She achieved an effect of quiet beauty.One evening, Mr. Kelada talked all his way. The conversation moved to pearls (珍珠).Mr. Kelada told us all about pearls. I believe Ramsay knew nothing about them, but he couldn’t resist(抗拒）the opportunity to fight back at Mr. Kelada, and soon they were in a heated argument. Mr. Kelada hit the table:“I know what I am talking about. I’m going to Japan just to look into pearl business. I know all the best pearls in the world. I can tell pearls with half an eye.”He pointed to a chain that Mrs. Ramsay wore. “You take my word for it, Mrs. Ramsay, that chain y ou’re wearing will never be worth a cent less than it is now.”Mrs. Ramsay hid the chain inside her dress. Ramsay said with a smile: “That’s a pretty chain of Mrs. Ramsay’s, isn’t it4?”“I noticed it at once,” answered Mr. Kelada. “Those are really good pearls.”“I didn’t buy it myself, of course. How much do you think it cost?”“About 15,000 dollars. But on Fifth Avenue, it shouldn’t be surprised to hear that 30,000 was paid for it.”Ramsay smiled: “You’ll be surprised to hear that Mrs. Ramsay bought it for 18 dollars.”Mr. Kelada rushed: “It’s not only real, but also the finest.”“Will you bet on it? I，ll bet you a hundred dollars it’s imitation (腰品”“Done.”“Oh，don’t bet, it’s just imitation.” said Mrs. Ramsay and her tone was unhappy.“Let me look at t he chain, and I can afford to lose 100 do llars，” said Mr. Kelada.“Take it off, dear. Let the gentleman look at it.”Mrs. Ramsay hesitated. “I can’t undo it，，’ she said. “Mr. Kelada c an just believe me.”I had a sudden feeling that something unfortunate was about to occur.Ramsay jumped up: “I’ll undo it.”He handed the chain to Mr. Kelada, who took a mag nifier (方文大镜）and closely examined it. A smile spread over his face. He was about to speak. Suddenly he caught sight of Mrs. Ramsay’s face. It was white. She looked as if she were about to faint (昏迷).She was staring at him with wide and terrified eyes. They held a desperate appeal; it was so clear that I wondered why her husband did not see it.Mr. Kelada stopped with his mouth open.“I was mistaken，’’ he said. “It，s a very good imitation, but as soon as I looked through my glass I saw that it wasn’t real. I think 18 dollars is the right price.”He took out a hundred-dollar bill. He handed it to Ramsay without a word.“Perhaps that’ll teach you a lesson，” s aid Ramsay as he took the money.The story spread over the ship. Mr. Kelada was laughed at badly. But Mrs. Ramsay went to her room with a headache.Next morning I got up and began to shave. Suddenly there was some sound and I saw a letter pushed under the door. I picked it up and saw it was to Mr. Kelada. I handed it to him.He took from the envelope a hundred-dollar bill.6I looked at him smiling: “Were the pearls real?”“Yes. If I had a pretty wife I shouldn’t let he r spend a year in New York while I stayed in Japan,” said he. At that moment I didn’t dislike Mr. Kelada.55.The reason why Mr. Kelada was disliked by many people was that he •A. cared for no one elseB. felt so good with himselfC. pretended to be learnedD. cheated people with lies56.According to the passage, Mr. Ramsay .A. had earned a good wealthB. dressed his wife in a proper wayC. had special interest in pearlsD. intended to teach Kelada a lesson57.“That chain y ou’re wearing will never be worth a cent less than it is now” means .A. the value of the chain is sure to go upB. the value of the chain is going downC. the chain is worth no more than a centD. the chain is just worth nothing at all58.Mrs. Ramsay was unwilling to show her pearls because she knew .A. they were worthless imitationB. they would be made fun ofC. they were really too expensiveD. they would soon lose the value59.It was very of Mr. Kelada not to tell the truth.A. carelessB. impoliteC. cruelD. thoughtful60.We can infer from the pa ssage that Mrs. Ramsay’s pearl chain might be bought by•A. herselfB. her husbandC. her loverD.

Indeed it is, for during childhood, one undergoes a step-by-step transformation not only in 41 capacity, but also in physical and verbal skills. Each step 42 an increase in the difficulty of a child’s conceptual and learning abilities. During the early stages of childhood, from infancy to about five, the child learns simple skills including using the toilet, bathing and dressing himself 43 . At this stage, he also learns to be very observant, curious, imaginative and creative. His ability to remember things also 44 at this stage. He remembers details that an adult may have difficulty in remembering. Gradually, he learns 45 skills in problem-solving. At school, particular in art classes, the child is especially creative. Given a piece of paper and some colored pencils, he draws a variety of 46 from his surroundings as well as from his family circle. It is not surprising to see a child draw a 47 to represent an abusive father, and an angel to represent a loving and caring mother.As he graduates to the later stages of childhood bordering on the teenage years, the child learns the 48 of human relations and socialization by interacting with his peers—his friends and schoolmates. He also learns to 49 with new life situations, including dates and part-time work. Given a tight schedule of schoolwork, the child learns to prepare his own schedules of work and play; the more practical and less serious ones manage to take time out of their busy schedules of assignments, reports and tests and examinations to go with their friends on relaxation entertainment.III.

In the middle of the seventh inning（局）fans ritualistically stand and stretch before the home team comes to bat.No one really knows the origin of the custom, but there are theories on how it started. Baseball historian Dan Daniel provided this explanation: “It probably began as an expression of fatigue. That would explain why the stretch comes late in the game instead of at the halfway point.”A more popular story involves President William Howard Taft and the birth of two baseball traditions. According to the account, Taft attended the first game of the 1910 baseball season. On the spur of the moment, plate umpire（裁判）Billy Evans gave Taft the ball. He asked him to throw it over the plate. Taft did so, and the custom of having the president launch the baseball season with the first pitch was born.The story continues that later that same day, President Taft, who weighed well over 300 pounds, became uncomfortable in his small chair. In the middle of the seventh inning, he stood up to stretch his legs. The crowd thought that the president was leaving, so they stood up out of respect. A few moments later, Taft sat down again. The fans followed, and the seventh-inning stretch was born. What a day for traditions!No matter how the tradition began, fans have since added to the fun. Now, as they stand to stretch during the seventh inning, they can sing along to Jack Norworth’s 1927 version of the song “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” after the visiting team has batted.65. Which of the following best defines the word “ritualisticall y”in Paragraph 1?A. Attracting attention.B. Showing excitement.C. Continuing a custom.D. Releasing anxiety.66. The seventh-inning stretch is celebrated with the song “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”__________.A. a few moments after the beginningB. after the visiting team has batted in the seventh inningC. between the sixth and seventh inningsD. after the home team has batted in the seventh inning67. In the more popular story, __________.A. Billy Evans attended the first game of the 1910 baseball seasonB. Taft asked Billy Evans to throw the ball over the plateC. President Taft stood up to stretch his legs to relax himselfD. the crowd thought the president didn’t respect the players68. How did the custom of following the “seventh-inning stretch” begin?A. No one knows for sure where or when the custom began.B. Jack Norworth started the tradition with the song in 1927.C. Fans used it as a time to stand and stretch their legs after sitting for the first six innings.D. William Howard Taft stood up and the rest of the fans stood in honor of the president.(B)Calling forContributionsKeen to share your views and have your articles published in the Campus Link?We are calling for contributions to the following sections:Lifestyle:Do you travel widely, keep a journal of your adventures and have nice photographs that you might want to share?

It was said that the first thread was made from animal muscle and sinew. And the earliest needles were made from bones. Since those early days, many people have been involved in the process of developing a machine that could do the same thing more quickly and with greater efficiency.Charles Wiesenthal, who was born in Germany, designed and received a patent on a double-pointed needle that eliminated the need to turn the needle around with each stitch(缝合) in England in 1755. Other inventors of that time tried to develop a functional sewing machine, but each design had at least one serious imperfection.Frenchman Barthelemy Thimonnier finally engineered a machine that really worked. However, he was nearly killed by a group of angry tailors when they burned down his garment factory. They feared that they would lose their jobs to the machine.American inventor Elias Howe, born on July 9, 1819, was awarded a patent for a method of sewing that used thread from two different sources. Howe’s machine had a needle with an eye at the point, and it used the two threads to make a special stitch called a lockstitch. However, Howe faced difficulty in finding buyers for his machines in America. In frustration, he traveled to England to try to sell his invention there. When he finally returned home, he found that dozens of manufacturers were adapting his discovery for use in their own sewing machines.Isaac Singer, another American inventor, was also a manufacturer who made improvements to the design of sewing machines. He invented an up-and-down-motion mechanism that replacedthe side-to-side machines. He also developed a foot treadle(脚踏板) to power his machine. This improvement left the sewer’s hands free. Undoubtedly, it was a huge improvement of the hand-cranked machine of the past. Soon the Singer sewing machine achieved more fame than the others for it was more practical, it could be adapted to home use and it could be bought on hire-purchase. The Singer sewing machine became the first home appliance, and the Singer company became one of the first American multinationals.However, Singer used the same method to create a lockstitch that Howe had already patented. As a result, Howe accused him of patent infringement（侵犯）. Of course, Elias Howe won the court case, and Singer was ordered to pay Howe royalties（版税）. In the end, Howe became a millionaire, not by manufacturing the sewing machine, but by receiving royalty payments for his invention.72. Barthelemy Thimonni er’s garment factory was burned down because _____________.A. people did not know how to put out the fireB. Elias Howe thought Thimonnier had stolen his inventionC. the sewing machines was couldn’t work finallyD. workers who feared the loss of their jobs to a machine set fire73. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Singer is an American inventor and manufacturer.B. The Singer sewing company became more practical.C. The foot treadle helped to make the sewer’s hands free.D. Singer made improvements to the design of sewing machines.74. Why did the court force Isaac Singer to pay Elisa Howe a lifetime of royalties?A. Because the judge was against Singer for his surly attitude.B. Because Howe had already patented the lockstitch used by Singer.C. Because Singer had borrowed money from Howe and never repaid it.D. Because Singer and Howe had both invented the same machine.75. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. A Stitch in Time Saves NineB. The Case between Howe and SingerC. Patent Laws on the Sewing MachineD. The Early History of the Sewing MachineSection 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.A. What are SIGs?B. What types of memberships are available?C. Who can join IATEFL China?D. What and where is IATEFL China?E. What links does IATEFL China have?F. What happens at the Annual Conference?76.IATEFL China is the International Association of English Language Teachers of English as a Foreign Language, China Branch. Its mother organization IATEFL was founded in the UK in 1967; it now has over 3,500 members in more than 100 countries throughout the world.IATEFL China core activities are managed by the Secretariat headed by the President. The others include, Volunteer activities, SIG Coordinators, and the Publication Committee.It is based in Tonghua City, Jilin Province of the People’s Republic of China and is managed by the President of the association. Other office staff include the General Secretary, the International Affairs Administrator, the Membership Secretary, the Newsletter Distribution, and the General Assistant.77.You can join as a full member and receive the association’s newsletter six times per year, two free publications, free membership to one SIG (Special Interest Group), discounts on publications, reduced conference registration fees, and voting rights.There are also special membership packages for institutional members and for members of IATEFL China’s associates (basic members).By the end of this year, members of IATEFL China can benefit from the special rights provided by the mother organization (IATEFL) at some rate.78.This is the most important event in the association’s calendar and takes place each year in August somewhere in China. It is attended by around 800 delegates each year and includes plenary sessions by eminent practitioners, a large number of workshops, talks and round table discussions given by able speakers, as ELT Exhibition and Pre-Conference Events organized by Special Interest Groups.79.Members can join any number of the 10 Special Interest Groups (SIGs) including: FLT Teaching & Learning Policy; FLT Curriculum & Syllabus Study; Coherence Research on Primary-secondary School and Secondary-Tertiary Transition; Primary School Classroom Instruction Model; Secondary School Classroom Instruction Model; Modern IT in FLT; Applied Linquistics; FL Learning Strategies; FL Teacher Development and Training; FL Textbook, Materials and Teaching Aids Design.80.IATEFL China has associate agreements with other teachers’ associations throughout the world. Among other things, there are usual agreements to exchange newsletters and to provide a speaker to attend each other’s conference at least once every year. More so, committee members from IATEFL China are willing to attend the conferences, meetings, etc. of related associations upon invitation.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Relations between the United States and Spain were not very good in 1898. On February 15, a battleship called the USS Maine blew up and sank in the harbor at Havana, Cuba. More than 260 Americans were killed. Many Americans thought that Spanish saboteurs (破坏者) had set an underwater mine that caused the explosion.Witnesses and survivors had different versions of what happened. Some said that they heard two explosions. It was discovered that the magazine—which is a storage place for arms, ammunition(军火), and explosives—had exploded. Questions were raised about what caused the first explosion. Did the first explosion come from outside the ship, causing the magazine to explode? Or, did something on the ship blow up the magazine?Other witnesses said that there was only one explosion. If they are right, then what on the ship caused the magazine to explode? A theory supporting the two-explosion version was that rebels from Cuba had caused the explosion. The rebels were aware of the bad feelings between the United States and Spain. They would have been willing to cause trouble between the nations to bring an end to Spanish rule in Cuba.The United States government issued an ultimatum(最后通牒) to the Spanish government to end its occupation of Cuba. When Spanish officials refused, Congress and President William McKinley declared war on Spain. The war did not last long, because the United Sates forced an early surrender.More than 100 years after the explosion of Maine, the cause of the explosion is still unknown. Many questions remain. If an attack from outside the ship caused the magazine to explode, why didn’t witnesses see a splash in the water? Why were there no dead fish in the water if there was an external explosion?With the mystery still unsolved, the question of what really happened to the USS Maine may never be answered.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)81. On February 15, 1898，more than 260 Americans lost their lives because of __________ .82. According to the passage, the “magazine” was used to _________.83. According to the two-explosion version, what’s the probable purpose of the Cuban rebels tocause the explosion?84. What’s the main topic of the passage?第II卷（共45分）I.
