The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.
Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita would be given the best job.
But there was a big surprise. Each child received a normal job. But Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita felt disappointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest.
Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food, and it grew quite a bit bigger.
One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, “Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rain forest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. Among all the schools of this region, your class has best cared for the little ant.”
That day the school was filled with joy and celebration. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible. And many children learnt that to be given the most important task you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks.

Who is more likely to lie and cheat一the poor person or the rich one? It's easier to think that the wealthier you are，the more likely you are to act fairly and think about what others may
need. But research suggests the opposite is true：as people climb the social ladder, their compassionate（有同情心的）feelings towards other people decline.
Berkeley psychologists Paul Piff and Dacher Keltner ran several studies looking at whether
social class，as measured by wealth，occupation，and education，influences how much people
care about the feelings of others. In one study，Piff and his colleagues carefully
observed the behavior of drivers at a busy four-way intersection. They found that luxury car drivers were more likely to cut off other motorists instead of waiting for their turn at the intersection. This was true for both men and women upper-class drivers，regardless of the time of day or the amount of traffic at the intersection. In a different study they found that luxury car drivers were also more likely to speed past a pedestrian trying to use a crosswalk，even after making eye contact with the pedestrian.
In order to figure out whether selfishness leads to wealth rather than vice versa，Piff and
his colleagues ran a study where they managed to control people's class feelings. The researchers asked participants to spend a few minutes comparing themselves either to people better off or worse off than themselves financially. Afterwards，participants were shown a jar of candy and told that they could take home as much as they wanted. They were also told that the leftover candy would be given to children in a nearby laboratory. Those participants who had spent time thinking about how much better off they were compared to others ended up taking significantly more candy for themselves一leaving less behind for the children.
But why would wealth and status decrease the feelings of compassion for others? Piff and his colleagues suspect that the answer may have something to do with how wealth give people, a
sense of independence from others. The less they have to rely on others，the less they may care
about others' feelings. This leads them towards being more self-focused. Another reason is their
attitudes towards greed. Upper-class people may be more likely to agree with the idea that “greed is good.” Although greed is universal human emotion, it may have the strongest pull over those of who already have the most.
51. It's generally viewed that rich people are more likely to＿．
A. lie and cheat
B. care about others
C. ignore others' feelings
D. behave differently from others
52. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. Rich people have less compassion.
B. Rich people prefer to drive against traffic rules.
C. Rich people's selfishness leads to more wealth
D. Rich people influence social compassionate feelings.
53．How did the psychologists get the research result?
A. By asking questions.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By running studies.
D. By presenting ideas
54. Which aspect does the last paragraph discuss?
A. Reasons for being less compassionate.
B. Relationship between wealth and selfishness.
C. Responsibilities of wealthy people.
D. Attitudes towards greed.
D
The January fashion show, called Future Fashion, exemplified how far green design has come. Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show
inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time. Several have made pledges（许诺） to include organic fabrics（织物）in their lines. The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, a cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainabl e materials can still be tough to find. “Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren’t comparable materials that can just replace what you’re doing and what your customers are used to,” he says. For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some popular synthetics（纤维）, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents(等同物).
Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs(企业家) who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable. It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major project aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional cotton at higher prices, thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material. “Main-stream is about to occur,” says Hahn.
Some analysts are less sure. Among consumers, only 18% are even aware that eco-fashion exists, up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer. When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, sh e replied, “Not that I’m aware of.” Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she’s on the hunt for “cute stuff that isn’t too expensive.” By her own admission, green just isn’t yet on her mind. But thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers—one day it will be.
55. What is said about Future Fashion?
A. It inspired leading designers to start going green.
B. It showed that designers using organic fabrics would go far.
C. It served as an example of how fashion shows should be organized.
D. It convinced the public that fashionable clothes should be made durable.
56. According to Scott Hahn, one big challenge to designers who will go organic is that _____.
A. much more time is needed to finish a dress using sustainable materials
B. they have to create new brands for clothes made of organic materials
C. customers have difficulty telling organic from non-organic materials
D. quality organic replacements for synthetics are not readily available
57. We learn from Paragraph 3 that designers who undertake green fashion ________.
A. can attend various trade shows for free
B. are readily recognized by the fashion world
C. can buy organic cotton at favorable prices
D. are gaining more and more support
58. What is N atalie Hormilla’s attitude toward eco-fashion?
A. She doesn’t seem to care about it.
B. She doesn’t think it is
sustainable.
C. She is doubtful of its practical value.
D. She is opposed to the idea very much.
59. What does the author think of green fashion?
A. Green products will soon go main stream.
B. It has a very promising future.
C. Consumers have the final say.
D. It will appeal more to young people.
60.“Sustainable”is repeated several times in this passage, which of the
following is closest in meaning to it?
A. reliable
B. usable
C. environmentally friendly
D. defensive

Have you ever heard “Tuhao (土豪), let’s be friends”? Are you puzzled, wondering _61_ it means? Then you’re possibly out of date.
Nowadays, the Chinese words “tuhao” and “dama (大妈)” have become so familiar 62_ many Chinese people that they often play jokes on each other when 63 (chat) about the daily life. For example, if you take out your new 64 (fashion) mobile phone, your naughty friends may call you “tuhao”, laughing loudly and happily.
Amazingly, 65_ two wildly popular words have also become hot words in English. The BBC recently _66_ (produce) a program to introduce “tuhao”. On the Internet, “tuhao” can be translated into “new money (暴发户)” in English.
Be sides, The Wall Street Journal has also borrowed “dama” from the Chinese pinyin 67_ (describe) bargain-hunting middle-aged Chinese women, calling 68 “a force in the global gold market”. Experts say the Chinese language’s influence 69 English will continue during the entire 21st century, 70 it is expected that “tuhao” will be welcomed by the Oxford University Press to appear in the new word lists.
第五部分：写作（共两节，满分40分）
第一节阅读表达(共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分)
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。

（请注意问题后的字数要求）
(1) It’ s a lot easier to use shortcuts when we text, isn’t it? The average American teen sends 60 text messages a day and you can bet that most of them are full of abbreviation (缩写) and lacking in proper punctuation (标点)。

(2) But while we might think nothing of it, there’s an on going debate about the potentially harmful effects that text messaging can have on people’s grammar. Many believe the abbreviations used by students are causing them to develop bad habits when it comes to spelling and punctuation.
(3) Some teachers say that texting and social networking can make students lazy when it comes to writing properly. The results of a recent study showed that young adults who often use text language are less likely to switch back to proper grammar when needed. But another view is that text messaging has no effect at all,
as many people consider it to be a language of its own.
(4) Whether i t’s harmful or not, it seems that text language is seeping(渗
透) into the mainstream one way or another. In a study published last year, 64 percent of teens admitted using informal “text language” in their regular classrooms, and in writing assignments. This could mean that poor grammar is becoming the standard for written communication through incredible laziness.
(5) But it isn’t just a matter of la nguage ---students who frequently text
during class also have difficulty concentrating. In another survey, students were asked to complete a questionnaire on how many text messages they sent and received during class. On average, students sent more than two text messages during lectures lasting 50 to 73 minutes. The research showed that students who frequently text during class are less likely to focus on lectures, therefore affecting their studies.
71. How did the writer introduce the topic of the passage? (within 5 words)
72. What are the two main features of most text messages? (within 10 words)
73. What e ffect will using text language frequently have on students’ writing?
(within 10 words)
74. Why does the writer think that the text messaging is seeping into the
mainstream? (within 10 words)
75. What does the passage mainly talk about? (within 6 words)

M: Sounds great.

M: Honey, what do you think of this kind of wooden chair for our restaurant? W: It looks great, but it’s kind of small. Just like the chairs in my company. How about this green one here?
(Text 3)
M: You look upset. What’s wrong?
W: I’ll never take my car downtown again.
M: Did you get another ticket or couldn’t you find a parking space?
W: I wish it were just that. My car was broken into. I lost my purse.
(Text 4)
W: Excuse me. I’m afraid I get lost. Could you tell me where I can take a bus or
a train to Holiday Inn?
M: I think you’d better take a taxi in case you get lost again.
(Text 5)
M: I find that you didn’t turn in your homework today.
W: I’m sorry.
M: Is everything OK? We’ve been in school for four months now, and this is the first time you haven’t done your homework.
W: I’ve been a little stressed by my grandma’s death.
(Text 6)
W: Hi, Paul. You look unhappy.
M: My computer went wrong this morning and I have to get a paper finished for class on Monday.
W: You can always go to the library.
M: ⑥The library isn’t open on Saturday afternoons and Sundays and I have to take care of my baby sister this morning.
W: That’s a problem. My family is having friends over this afternoon so it won’t be possible for you to come to my place. ⑦I can lend you my computer.
M: ⑦Wow, Sally, that’s great.
(Text 7)
M: Hi, Judy. Did you see this notice in the dining hall?
W: Yeah, Sam. I don’t like it. ⑧I usually sit here and talk with my friends after lunch until my first class at 2 in the afternoon. Now we have to find someplace else to go.
M: But we have lots of other places to go. We can go to the school park.
W: That means carrying all my books.
M: ⑨But they explain this will help keep the cost of food down, and we can save some extra money.
(Text 8)
W: Hi, Jeff. How was your weekend?
M: It was great. Mary, how was yours?
W: My moth er’s birthday was Saturday and we had a great time. ⑩We had dinner at home and then watched an old movie. When they told me it was almost seventy years old,
I thought it was going to be boring, but it was one of the best movies I’ve ever
seen.I couldn’t t ake my eyes off the screen. I laughed, I cried, I got angry. M: Wow! Now I want to see it.
W: I’m dying to watch it again. Hey, why don’t we get together and have a party and we can see the movie together?
M: That’s a great idea. I can bring some friends, if that’s OK.
W:Sure. I’ll ask my mum to watch it with us. She can tell us all about the stars. Let’s say 6 o’clock on Saturday.
(Text 9)
M: OK. I got my vacation early this year so as soon as school’s out, the first of June, we have two weeks to have fun. We’ve talked about this before and have chosen two possibilities: a trip across Canada or explore Florida. Which will it be? W: I’d like to go to Florida. I’ve always wanted to visit Orlando.
M: We should get on the Internet and check flight schedules as soon as possible. I remember a ticket costs $500. They may still have that promotion where a second person flies for half price. That means the four of us can go for the cost of three. W: Orlando, here we come! But we won’t spend the whole two weeks th ere, will we?
I heard St Augustine was cool. And there’s Daytona Beach where you can drive on
the beach.
M: Your mother and I will take care of the driving and make hotel reservations so you and Tim will plan the sightseeing. Is that a deal?
W: Yeah! Great!
M: Only one rule. Each person gets to take one suitcase.
W: But I have a lot of clothes I want to take.
M: I’ll help you pack.
(Text 10)
W: Planning a schedule that includes time for studies, sports, part-time work and free time can be a challenge. Today we have Dr Tony with us to talk about how to plan a schedule.
M: Well, the good way to start is to make a plan for each day of the week and then try to balance your time so you can include everything. Here are some guidelines that may help you.
First, we start with the twenty-four hours we all have in every day. If we take out eight hours for our sleep time, that leaves sixteen hours to divide among the other activities. Attendance at school takes about six hours and homework about two, for a total of eight. That leaves us eight hours for sports, work and free time.
Remember, those guidelines are flexible and you must adjust them to your particular needs.
Weekends are different since we don’t have to attend school. Here we can usually focus on certain activities such as sports or part-time work and free time. We can see our friends and spend more time with our family.
If you make a schedule and try to keep to it, you will soon develop the habit of doing each task during its planned time and will be satisfied that you can
comfortably do everything you have to do.

第六部分书面表达
Dear Mr. Wang,
Knowing that our library is going to buy books, I’d like to give some suggestions. What we need most are popular science books. Usually popular science books explain basic principles of nature in a simple and interesting way. They help us understand science subjects better and arouse our curiosity about scientific discoveries. In addition to reading for knowledge, we read for fun and inspiration. That is why I recommend another category of books：literary books. Classic works, written
by masters, present great thoughts through fascinating stories and language. They not only offer us joy and excitement, but also encourage us to think critically. I’ll be glad if you can consider my recommendation.
Yours sincerely,
Li Yue。
