Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits thecontext .I lost my sight when I was four years old when falling off a train to Atlantic City.But I was 36 . My parents and my teachers saw something in me -a potential tolive, you might call it -which I didn't see, and they encouraged me to _ 37blindness.The hardest lesson I had to 38 was to believe in myself. If I hadn't been ableto do that, I would have walked with a stick for the rest of my life. When I say beliefin myself I am not 39_ talking about the kind of self-confidence that helps me downan 40 staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that. Although imperfect in some aspect, I am a real, positive person. There is a specialplace where I can make myself fit.It took me years to discover and 41 this self-confidence. It had to start withthe most basic things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he wasmaking fun of me and I was 42 ."I can't use this," I responded."Take it with you," he urged me, "and roll it around. "The words stuck in my head. "Roll it around! " By rolling the ball I could 43 where it went. This gave me an 44 how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a newkind of baseball. We called it ground ball.All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried t0 45 themone by one. I also knew my limitations. It was no good trying something that I knew atthe start was wildly out of reach because that only 46 the bitterness of failure.

Sometimes Chinese English teachers are puzzled by such questions, "Could you please give me some advice 48 how to improve my reading comprehension?"Actually, many of the teachers can't give their students 49 effective way to deal with reading. Anyway, they often simply say, "Read 50 and practise more,and you will get more experience in reading comprehension. " Frankly, these teachers' good suggestions are only helpful to arouse (激起) students' interest in reading 51not helpful to deal with the questions in the examinations of reading comprehension. Personally, 52 think the skill for reading comprehension should be based on the knowledge of English writing. 53 the English passages are written under some rules or principles, the science of reading and understanding may have a close relationshipwith writing. Reading comprehension can't be independent 54 the knowledge of writing. So to do better in reading comprehension 55 ever, we should learn the knowledge of writing, study how questions are designed and the relationship between questions and the reading materials.Part III Reading Comprehension (30 marks)Directions: Read the Following three passages. Each passage is jollowed by several questions or unfin,ished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A , B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the injormation given in the passage .AOver the last 30 years, Bangkok, once a small fishing village, has transformed into a rich, concrete, high-rise city that it is today. The spreading metropolis and its population of 12 million now produces 35 per cent of Thailand's economic wealth.As a magnet for foreign companies, Bangkok attracts many overseas managers and business people from different fields, including tourism, automobiles and electronics.The city's population of foreigners is in the high hundreds of thousands, with tens of thousands of Japanese, Chinese and western employees working alongside hundreds of thousands of Burmese who mostly do unskilled jobs shunned by Thais.For those used to the good life, the variety and quality of the city's food is a key attraction, says one US manager, before listing many of his favourite Italian, Mexican and, of course, Thai restaurants. Most offer quality meals for less than the cost of a takeaway sandwich in London.Great choice and value can be found in Bangkok's other attractions, too. Foroverseas business people who enjoy shopping in luxury and air-conditioned comfort, the city has hundreds of modern shopping malls. Some foreigners, however, prefer the charms of Chatuchak Market, where anything can be bought at a good price by the skilled bargainer.When the time comes to talk business many overseas business people prefer to move out of the markets and onto the golf course. Thailand has thousands of courses, which can provide a welcome break from the busy and noisy city life. But most business people go to the golf course because it's the perfect place to discuss the next big deal.Because of the fast-paced life some foreign business people see Bangkok as a place to stay for the short term, rather than a lifetime. Australian computer softwaredesigner Sarah Huang is seven months pregnant but still working full-time in her Bangkok office. She says the city is "definitely a place I want to stay for the next five,ten years". Nannies and home help are affordable, but high fees for quality secondary education have convinced Ms. Huang to return to Australia when her child reaches high school age.56. According to the first two paragraphs, we know thatA. Bangkok offers many working opportunities for peopleB. Bangkok has always been a rich Thai cityC. most foreigners coming to Bangkok are touristsD. Burmese in Bangkok mostly work for Thais57. The underlined word "shunned" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _A. forgottenB. unwantedC. appreciatedD. rewarded58. What is the main attraction of golf for business people according to the passage?A. It is the most convenient way for them to get regular exercise.B. It is a good place in which to discuss business matters.C. It is a great way to escape from the noise and pollution of the city.D. It gives them the opportunity to meet local people in a social setting.59. Sarah Huang says she'll eventually leave Bangkok becauseA. she is going to have a babyB. her working hours are too longC. it's not easy to find suitable home help thereD. the cost of a good education there is too high60. The main purpose of the passage is toA. explain the reasons for Bangkok's rapid economic growth over the past 30 yearsB. promote the many attractions Bangkok has to offer tourists visiting the cityC. describe the attractions of living in Bangkok for foreign business peopleD. compare the lifestyles of Burmese workers and foreign business peoplein BangkokBA woman renewing her driver's license at the County Clerk's office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself."What I mean is," explained the recorder, "do you have a job, or are youjust a. . . ""Of course I have a job," said Emily. "I'm a mother.""We don't list imother' as an occupation... ihousewife' covers it," said the recorder.One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. "What is your occupation?" she asked.The words simply came out. "I'm a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations. "The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in mid-air.I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire."Might I ask," said the clerk with new interest, "just what you do in this field?"Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, "I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn't), in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother disagrees?) , and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it) . But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money. "There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.As I drove into our driveway, feeling happier by my attractive and exciting new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants-aged 13, 7 and 3.Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6-month-old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and essential to mankind than "just another mother".Motherhood... What a glorious career! Especially when there's a title on the door.61. What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder atthe beginning of the passage?A. The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was.B. The recorder was impatient and rude.C. Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by society.D. The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced.62. How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told her occupation?A. Puzzled.B. Curious.C. Upset.D. Frightened.63. How did the author feel when describing her job to the clerk?A. Angry.B. Calm.C. Unconfident.D. Annoyed.64. Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?A. Because the author cared little about rewards.B. Because she admired the author's research work in the lab.C. Because the author did something she had little knowledge of.D. Because she thought the author did admirable work.65. What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?A. To show that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect.B. To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.C. To show that the author had a grander job than Emily.D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.CTexting pedestrians aren' t just an annoyance to their fellow walkers, but something dangerous to themselves."I was checking emails while walking to work this morning," said Wolbert van den Hoorn. "But it has a serious influence on the safety of people who type or read textwhile walking. "Anecdotes back him up. A tourist from Taiwan walked off a port near Melbourne last month while checking Facebook-bringing an abrupt, and icy end to a penguin- watching visit. Another shopper in the U.S. was too addicted to his mobile phone to notice the fountain ahead, walking straight into it.And as mobile-phone use has grown-to about 77% of the world's population, the study says-so has the number of phone-related accidents. The number of U. S. emergency-room visits linked to phone use on the move doubled to as many as l,500 between 2005 and 2010, an Ohio State University study recently showed.Authorities world-wide have taken note. Signs on Hong Kong's subway system advise passengers in three languages to keep their eyes off their phones. Police and transport authorities have also warned the danger in Singapore, where the Straits Times newspaper ranked it as "No.2 Bad Habit", due to the rising number of road deaths.Some U.S. states, including New York and Arkansas, are even considering bans onthis act.The Australian study used 26 volunteers, a third of whom admitted having hit objects while texting. They were fitted with different equipment in different parts oftheir body, and asked to walk 8.5 meters three times-once without a phone, oncewhile reading a text and once while writing a text-while eight cameras captured the action.V olunteers using the phone walked slower and with shorter steps (and slowest ofall when typing), and, more seriously, they locked their arms and elbows in-like "robots", in the researchers' words. That forced their heads to move more, throwingthem off balance."In a pedestrian environment, inability to maintain a straight path would be likely to increase potential for hits, falls and traffic accidents," said Mr. van den Hoorn."The best thing to do is to step aside and stop, or keep off the phone."66. Which of the following about "Texting pedestrians" is WRONG?A. People who type while walking.B. People who phone while walking.C. People who text while walking.D. People who read text message while walking.67. The writer uses the two examples in Paragraph 3 to showA. the advantages of mobile phonesB. the use of mobile phones in waterC. the use of mobile phones in a wrong wayD. the popularity of mobile phones68. What is New York and Arkansas' attitude to texting pedestrians?A. Considering forbidding their acts.B. Ranking it as "No.l Bad Habit".C. Setting up signs to warn them.D. Equipping them with advanced machines.69. Why are texting pedestrians likely to hit or fall according to the passage?A. They walk too fast.B. They lock their arms and elbows.C. They are out of balance.D. They walk with longer steps.70. What is the best title for the passage?A. Text message or e-mail only?B. Ways to avoid fallsC. Mobile phones for entertainmentD. Safety or text message?Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in, the numbered blanks by using the information, from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS jor each answer .Unlike in our country, violence against women is very obvious in some western and African countries. The basic cause of it lies in discrimination, which claims women inequality with men in all aspects of life. Violence is both origin in discrimination and serves to worsen discrimination.Violence against women is a sign of historically unequal status of women compared to men, which has resulted into domination (控制,主宰) and discrimination against women by men and to the prevention of the full development of women. Violenceagainst women is one of the important social means by which women are restricted intoa secondary position in comparison with men.As violence against women is spread worldwide, many women are targets becauseof their ethnic group, class, sex or disability status.Many women think that the psychological consequences of abuse are even more dangerous than its physical effects. The experience of abuse often shakes women's self- respect and puts them at great risk of a number of mental health problems, such as: Depression is becoming broadly recognized as a main health problem in the world. Women who are abused by their partners suffer more depression and anxiety thanwomen who have not been abused, according to studies in Australia, Nicaragua, Pakistan, and the US.Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a strong anxiety disorder that can happen when people go through or witness a very unpleasant event in which they feeldisappointed and helpless or fear death or injury. The symptoms of PTSD contain mentally reliving the upsetting event by means of flashbacks (闪回,倒叙) ; avoiding anything that would remind one of the events; experiencing discomfort in sleeping and concentrating; and being easily alarmed or frightened.The severe violence is also likely to lead to suicide. Some women kill themselves or try to do so. Researches from some countries, including Sweden, and the US, have showed that domestic violence is closely connected with suicide. Abused women who have PTSD symptoms prove to be most likely to try suicide.Abused women are more likely than other women to misuse alcohol and drugs. When a person' s everyday life functioning or life alternatives continue to be influenced, a post-traumatic stress disorder may be the problem, requiring professional treatment.Title: 71I . 72 0f historically unequal statusDomination and discrimination from men , s leading position andpreventing 73II. 74 : women's self-respect shake and 75 Occur.76 , a main health problemPost-traumatic stress disorder, a strong 77 , happens under certainconditions.One of its symptoms is mentally reliving 78 by means of flashbacks.79 , especially for women with PTSD symptomsAlcohol and drug misuseIII. 80Professional treatmentSection B (10 marks)Directions: Read the jollowing passage. Answer the questions according to the injormation given in the passage .With the right encouragement and tools, children can develop leadership qualities that are important to help them succeed in all areas of life. Leadership activities and games help build these skills by enabling children to become more self-aware and improve their self-respect.Good leaders can convey their thoughts and feelings effectively. Poetry, shortstories or drawing are ideal activities to introduce children to the concept of leadership. Ask children to think about what makes a great leader and then express their ideas. Games like blind obstacle courses can build communication skills as well.Planning and organizing is a fundamental leadership quality. Children can learnthis skill by helping to plan a concert or play. Instead of assigning just one leader,divide the group into several small ones and assign leaders to each group. One groupcan be in charge of assigning roles and the second could be in charge of makinginvitations. How you distribute leadership roles will vary depending on the age of thechildren and what you have chosen to perform.Compromise is a skill of many effective leaders. Goals are obtained faster when arguments don't slow the process. Activities that teach children the art of compromisehelp them to negotiate with friends and family naturally. Group science projects, for example, can help enable children to learn how to compromise and negotiate. Thesuccess or failure of the project will depend on the children's ability to negotiate andwork together.The ability to work well with others is another important leadership skill. Teamsports like baseball can teach children how to work as a group and that theircontribution is important to the overall success of the team. This builds theirconfidence and encourages them to think beyond themselves and their individual needs.81. What activities can be used to introduce children to the concept of leadership?

When people cheat, it's not fair to other people，like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it does n’t solve the problem of not knowing the material an d it won’t help on the next test-unless the person cheats again.Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade.And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home,too.Some kids cheat because they' re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating. Even when then: seems to be a “good reason”for cheating. Cheating isn’t a good idea.If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn't study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don't have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions(解决办法)together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.51. The author thinks that when kids cheat in class,A. it is unfair to other peopleB. it does harm to their heathC. teachers should punish themD. teachers shouldn't stop them at once52. Some students like cheating mainly becauseA. the material in the test is very difficultB .they want to do better than the othersC. cheating can make hard things seem very easyD. they have little time to study their lessons53. The fourth paragraph mainly tells usA. cheating is a good ideaB.why kids cheat in the testC.some kids can’t pass the test without cheatingD.some kids don't spend the time studying54. We can learn from the passageA. cheaters are often thought highly ofB. people show no respect for those who cheatC. parents whose kids cheat are often in troubleD. kids cheat in the test because of swim practice55. In the passage those cheaters are advised toA. spend more time on school than on sportsB. find good solutions instead of cheatingC. try hard to be intelligent rather than lazyD. ask their classmates for good methods of studyPart Ⅳ Blank-Filling (18 marks)Directions: rill in each blank with a proper word or phrase according to your textbook.Part 1:Going to a British high school for one year was a very 56 and exciting experience for me.

Y ou can't be a positive person all of the time．How do you do it?" Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, "Jerry, you have two choices today．Y ou can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood．' I choose to be in a good mood．Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it．I choose to learn from it．Every time someone comes to me complaining．I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life．I choose the positive side of life．The bottom line It's your choice how you live life．" I reflected on what Jerry said．Later．I left the restaurant industry to start my own business．We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life．Several years later．I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers．While trying to open the safe, he forgot the password, nervous．The robbers panicked and shot him．Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local hospital．After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care．Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments（碎片）of the bullets still in his body．I saw Jerry about six months after the accident．When I asked him how he was．he replied．"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied．"Then, as I lay on the floor．I remembered that I had two choices I could choose to live．or I could choose to die．I chose to live．" " Weren ' t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked．Jerry continued, "The doctors and nurses were great．They kept telling me I was going to be fine．But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared．I knew I needed to take action．""What did you do?"

is getting new attention in the United States—bullying．Recent cases included the tragic case of a fifteen-year-old girl whose family moved from Ireland．She hanged herself in Massachusetts in January following months of bullying．Her parents criticized her school for failing to protect her．Officials have brought criminal charges against several teenagers．Judy Kaczynski is president of an anti-bullying group called Bully Police USA．Her daughter Tina was the victim of severe bullying starting in middle school in the state of Minnesota．She said, "Our daughter was a very outgoing child．She was a bubbly personality, very involved in all kinds of things, had lots of friends．And over a period of time her grades fell completely．She started having health issues．She couldn't sleep．She wasn't eating．She had terrible stomach pains．She started clenching（紧握，紧咬）her jaw and grinding her teeth at night．She didn't want to go to school．"Bullying is defined as negative behavior repeated over time against the same person．It can involve physical violence．Or it can be verbal—for example, insults or threats．Spreading lies about someone or excluding a person from a group is known as social or relational bullying．And now there is cyberbullying, which uses the Internet, e-mail or text messages．It has easy appeal for the bully because it does not involve face-to-face contact and it can be done at any time．The first serious research studies into bullying were done in Norway in the late 1970s．The latest government study in the United States was released last year．It found that about one-third of students aged twelve to eighteen were bullied at school．Susan Sweater is a psychologist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and co-director of the Bullying Research Network．She says schools should treat bullying as a mental health problem to get bullies and victims the help they need．She says bullying is connected to depression, anxiety and anti-social behavior, and bullies are often victims themselves．61．From the case of Tina, we can know that _____．A．bullying is rare B．victims suffered a lotC．schools are to blame D．personalities are related62．Which of the following is NOT bullying?A．To beat someone repeatedly．B．To call someone names．C．To isolate someone from friends．D．To refuse to help someone in need．63．Why is cyberbullying appealing to the bully?A．Because it can involve more people．B．Because it can create worse effects．C．Because it is more convenient．D．Because it can avoid cheating．64．According to Susan Sweater．_____．A．bullies are anti-socialB．bullies should give victims helpC．students are not equally treatedD．bullies themselves also need help65．Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A．Bullying—An Irish Girl Committed SuicideB．15-year-old Irish Girl Committed SuicideC．Cyberbullying—Taking Off in SchoolsD．How to Find Bullying among TeensC"The days when the management in Western companies presented gold watches to long-serving employees to thank them for loyal service is now just a memory．" says the Educational and Training Support Agency．This new development in the shape and movement of the workforce throughout Western businesses is partly a result of the way that layers of middle management are being removed, leaving more workers responsible for their own development．"Having workers take responsibility for their own development might be dramatic, but it is now the rule," says the Educational and Training Support Agency．"Today, not only are workers more mobile, they have to run to keep up with changes．" says the Government-founded agency．"It is no longer enough for a worker to gain a set of skills．Workers need the ability to react and get used to changes．" This new system is also being pushed along by the way that industry is looking to its workers to renew their own skills．In the United States, some companies have contracts （合同）which repair their employees to show regularly how they have their skills up to date．Contrary to this traditions of the past, employers in the West are now looking for autonomous learners as recruits, people who can develop their own continuing education beyond the school and university system．At the same time．businesses are developing the capacity for workers to take up autonomous learning on site in workplace, so that the skills and abilities of all workers in a business continue to improve and increase．"This．of course," says business theory．"will also improve the productivity （生产率）of the workers and therefore the profits of the company．"66．The management in western companies no longer presents gold watches to their employees because _____．A．they are not loyal to companiesB．other rewards replace gold watchesC．the way prove to be a failureD．serving a company for life is rare now67．The western workforce frequently changes their jobs partly because _____．A．hopping from job to job has become a new trendB．employees are expecting to have more experiences in their lifeC．workers have to take more responsibility for themselvesD．it is easy to complete themselves by doing so68．The passage seems to suggest that the present situation in society requires that workers should A．show more loyalty to their companiesB．try to develop their skills to fit in with changesC．go to college to have their skills up to dateD．be quick in changing their careers if there is the possibility69．The phrase "autonomous learner" in the last paragraph means _____．A．people who have received higher educationB．people who study hard themselvesC．people who learn things very quicklyD．people who continue their study beyond regular education70．Companies require their employee's development mainly because _____．A．it will finally help to bring more profits to the companyB．it can attract more workers who pay special attention to self-developmentC．it is good for the employees to develop their skillsD．it will make workers more responsible and loyal to the companyPart Iv Writing （45 marks）Section A（10 marks）Directions Read．the following passage．Fill．in the numbered, blanks by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．Learning to improve your focus throughout the day can be a little difficult, only because we are talking about 18 to 24 hours, depending on the number of hours you sleep．However, if we break down your day into manageable time frames, it would make it much easier to learn to improve your focus．Focus, or concentration, is a skill that can be taught, so there are some exercises you can do to improve your focus．Start with easy exercises like staring at a picture on the wall for a few minutes without moving or talking to anyone．Once you learn how to block out your surroundings, your focus will improve．Other mind exercises you can do are internalizing．This is when you picture yourself in a desired situation, and then you work around your picture．Actors do this a lot to block out laughter,noise, or other distractions．An example of this would be to imagine you in a potentially stressful situation, like a singer in a concert．Try to play out the scene in your mind what you would do if different scenarios were to happen．This can actually be a lot of fun．and you learn how to improve your focus by concentrating on one thing only．If this sounds a little strange to you, you could try another strategy．Why not make lists? Make a list for the things you need to accomplish for the morning, another for the afternoon．and finally, another list for the evening．Study your lists carefully and see where you can move things around．For instance, if you have a dinner to arrange that evening, don't bunch up everything in the afternoon, right before the guests arrive．Divide your chores and errands between morning and afternoon, and give yourself an hour or two to relax before the guests arrive．Planning helps you focus．It will also not stress you out．Another way to improve your focus is to take breaks．If children have rest and lunch as their breaks, adults should also allow themselves the privilege of stopping for a drink or a 30 minute sitcom on TV．Of course, if you are working in an office, you are allowed coffee breaks．Use this time wisely．Don't spend it with your co-workers beside the coffee machine talking about problems in the office．Doing this would actually stress you and get you to lose focus on the things that need to be done．Y our breaks should be as quiet as possible．Read a book．take a walk．or visit a daycare．Go and do anything that will give your brain a rest．The reason why we lose focus so easily is because we have too much on our minds．Of course, it could also be because you are bored with nothing to do all day．A good balance between a too relaxed brain and an overly active brain is a desirable situation to be in．Find your capacity to work, and try not to veer away too far from it on a daily basis．Improving your focus also means knowing what you can do and being confident about doing it well．Focus is important but difficult to improve1．71 to improve your focusI ．Staring at picture．◆Staring at a wall picture 72 to learn to block out surroundingsⅡ．73 ．◆ Concentrating on imagining a potentially stressful work place to block out 74Ⅲ．75 ．◆ Dividing a day into 76 for chores and errands to be done．as well as arranging time for relaxationIV．Taking breaks．◆ Wisely using time to have a drink, watch TV quietly instead of 77 ; just resting your brain2．78 for easily losing focus◆ Having too much on minds◆79 all dayConclusion Keeping 80 between extremely relaxed brain and too active brain．Section B （10 marks）Directions Read．the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit．Write your answers on your answer sheet．When I was 10 years old, my friend Sydney was diagnosed with a brain tumor．Sydney fought against it, but the tumor did not respond to treatment, and could not be surgically removed．Themass wrapped around her brain stem, the area of the brain that controls the vital functions of life such as breathing and blood pressure．Sydney died at the age of 11．After her death, I felt immense sadness and frustration about pediatric cancer．I decided to turn these negative emotions into positive actions．When I was 11 years old．I founded the Pink Polka Dots Guild（PPD）with two friends．The guild is named after Sydney s favorite color and pattern, which represents both the memory of my friend and the guild's positive approach．My goal has been to raise enough money to find a cure for brain cancer, which is the second most common cancer in children．Over the years, PPD has held fundraisers from lemonade stands to art expositions to golf tournaments．I have played a leading role in planning and organizing each PPD event．The very first Pink Polka Dots event, a garage sale．raised $ 9．000, and our most recent fundraiser, the fifth annual golf tournament, brought in over $ 73．000．The guild progressed faster than I ever anticipated．In five years, we have become 40 members strong, and raised almost half of a million dollars．I've been shocked by the public recognition that the guild has earned．PPD received an award from a U．S．Senator, spoke at a TED Conference, was featured in Teen V ogue, and appeared on The Note Berkus Show．Each of these honors has raised awareness and money for our cause．The initiative that I have taken has truly impacted the world of cancer research．PPD has provided start-up funding for scientific discoveries, such as "Tumor Paint", which illuminates cancerous cells so that surgeons can remove them with unprecedented accuracy．The discovery appeared in Time Magazine．, and will be reviewed by the Food & Drug Administration starting in early 2012．1 am extremely proud to have helped fund the research of this life-saving technology．Pink Polka Dots has inspired me to be an activist．My experience has taught me that with passion and dedication, it is possible to make a difference to the world．The determination that Pink Polka Dots sparked in me has carried over to all aspects of my life, making me a driven academic, a competitive debater and a dedicated volunteer．81．Why did the author feel sad and frustrated? （No more than 8 words）82．What was the author s purpose of founding PPD? （No more than 15 words）83．What achievement has PPD made in helping cancer research? （No more than 13 words）84．What did the author learn from his own experience of founding PPD?

The city has hundreds of modern shopping malls．Some foreigners, however, prefer the charms of Chanukah Market, where anything can be bought at a good price by the skilled bargainer．When the time comes to talk business many overseas business people prefer to move out of the markets and onto the golf course．Thailand has thousands of courses, which can provide a welcome break from the busy and noisy city life．But most business people go to the golf course because it's the perfect place to discuss the next big deal．Because of the fast-paced life some foreign business people see Bangkok as a place to stay for the short term! rather than a lifetime．Australian computer software designer Sarah Huang is seven months pregnant but still working full-time in her Bangkok office．She says the city is” definitely a place I want to stay for the next five, ten years"．Nannies and home help are affordable, but high fees for quality secondary education have convinced Ms．Huang to return to Australia when her child reaches high school age．56．According to the first two paragraphs, we know thatA．Bangkok offers many working opportunities for peopleB．Bangkok has always been a rich Thai cityC．most foreigners coming to Bangkok are touristsD．Burmese in Bangkok mostly work for Thais57．The underlined word” shunned" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to A．forgotten B．unwantedC．appreciated D．rewarded58．What is the main attraction of golf for business people according to the passage?A．It is the most convenient way for them to get regular exercise．B．It is a good place in which to discuss business matters．C．It is a great way to escape from the noise and pollution of the city．D．It gives them the opportunity to meet local people in a social setting．59．Sarah Huang says she’ll eventually leave Bangkok because .A．she is going to have a babyB．her working hours are too longC．it's not easy to find suitable home help thereD．the cost of a good education there is too high60．The main purpose of the passage is to ．A．explain the reasons for Bangkok's rapid economic growth over the past 30 years B．promote the many attractions Bangkok has to offer tourists visiting the cityC．describe the attractions of living in Bangkok for foreign business peopleD．compare the lifestyles of Burmese workers and foreign business people in Bangkok 【题文】61．What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder at the beginning of the passage?A．The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was．B．The recorder was impatient and rude．C．Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by society．D．The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced．62．How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told her occupation?A．Puzzled．B．Curious．C．Upset．D．Frightened．63．How did the author feel when describing her job to the clerk?A．Angry．B．Calm．C．Unconfident．D．Annoyed．64．Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?A．Because the author cared little about rewards．B．Because she admired the author's research work in the lab．C．Because the author did something she had little knowledge of．D．Because she thought the author did admirable work．65．What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?A．To show that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect．B．To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it．C．To show that the author had a grander job than Emily．D．To show that being a mother is hard and boring work．【题文】CTexting pedestrians arena' t just an annoyance to their fellow walkers, but something dangerous to themselves．“1 was checking emails while walking to work this morning," said Wilbert van den Hoorn．“But it has a serious influence on the safety of people who type or read text while walking．"Anecdotes back him up．A tourist from Taiwan walked off a port near Melbourne last month while checking Face book-bringing an abrupt, and icy end to a penguin- watching visit．Another shopper in the U．S．was too addicted to his mobile phone to notice the fountain ahead! walking straight into it．And as mobile-phone use has grown-to about 77% of the world's population, the study says-so has the number of phone-related accidents．The number of U．S．emergency-room visits linked to phone use on the move doubled to as many as l,500 between 2005 and 2010, an Ohio State University study recently showed．Authorities world-wide have taken note．Signs on Hong Kong's subway system advise passengers in three languages to keep their eyes off their phones．Police and transport authorities have also warned the danger in Singapore, where the Straits Times newspaper ranked it as No．2Bad Habit"' due to the rising number of road deaths．Some U．S．states, including New York and Arkansas, are even considering bans on this act．The Australian study used 26 volunteers, a third of whom admitted having hit objects while texting．They were fitted with different equipment in different parts of their body, and asked to walk 8．5 meters three times-once without a phone, once while reading a text and once while writing a text-while eight cameras captured the action．V olunteers using the phone walked slower and with shorter steps （and slowest of all when typing）, and! more seriously, they locked their arms and elbows in-like “robots", in the researchers' words．That forced their heads to move more, throwing them off balance．“In a pedestrian environment, inability to maintain a straight path would be likely to increase potential for hits, falls and traffic accidents," said Mr．van den Hoorn．“The best thing to do is to step aside and stop, or keep off the phone．"66．Which of the following about” Texting pedestrians" is WRONG?A．People who type while walking．B．People who phone while walking．C．People who text while walking．D．People who read text message while walking．67．The writer uses the two examples in Paragraph 3 to showA．the advantages of mobile phonesB．the use of mobile phones in waterC．the use of mobile phones in a wrong wayD．the popularity of mobile phones68．What is New York and Arkansas' attitude to texting pedestrians?A．Considering forbidding their acts．B．Ranking it as” No．l Bad Habit"．C．Setting up signs to warn them．D．Equipping them with advanced machines．69．Why are texting pedestrians likely to hit or fall according to the passage?A．They walk too fast．B．They lock their arms and elbows．C．They are out of balance．D．They walk with longer steps．70．What is the best title for the passage?A．Text message or e-mail only?B．Ways to avoid fallsC．Mobile phones for entertainmentD．Safety or text message?【题文】Unlike in our country, violence against women is very obvious in some western and African countries．The basic cause of it lies in discrimination! which claims women inequality with men in all aspects of life．Violence is both origin in discrimination and serves to worsen discrimination．Violence against women is a sign of historically unequal status of women compared to men, which has resulted into domination（拄制,主宰）and discrimination against women by men and to the prevention of the full development of women．Violence against women is one of the important social means by which women are restricted into a secondary position in comparison with men．As violence against women is spread worldwide, many women are targets because of their ethnic group, class, sex or disability status．Many women think that the psychological consequences of abuse are even more dangerous than its physical effects．The experience of abuse often shakes women's self- respect and puts them at great risk of a number of mental health problems, such as:Depression is becoming broadly recognized as a main health problem in the world．Women who are abused by their partners suffer more depression and anxiety than women who have not been abused! according to studies in Australia, Nicaragua, Pakistan, and the US．Post-traumatic stress disorder （PTSD）is a strong anxiety disorder that can happen when people go through or witness a very unpleasant event in which they feel disappointed and helplessor fear death or injury．The symptoms of PTSD contain mentally reliving the upsetting event by means of flashbacks（闵回,倒叙）; avoiding anything that would remind one of the events; experiencing discomfort in sleeping and concentrating; and being easily alarmed or frightened．The severe violence is also likely to lead to suicide．Some women kill themselves or try to do so．Researches from some countries, including Sweden! and the US, have showed that domestic violence is closely connected with suicide．Abused women who have PTSD symptoms prove to be most likely to try suicide．Abused women are more likely than other women to misuse alcohol and drugs．When a person' s everyday life functioning or life alternatives continue to be influenced ! a post-traumatic stress disorder may be the problem, requiring professionaltreatment．【题文】With the right encouragement and tools, children can develop leadership qualities that are important to help them succeed in all areas of life．Leadership activities and games help build these skills by enabling children to become more self-aware and improve their self-respect．Good leaders can convey their thoughts and feelings effectively．Poetry, short stories or drawing are ideal activities to introduce children to the concept of leadership．Ask children to think about what makes a great leader and then express their ideas．Games like blind obstacle courses can build communication skills as well．Planning and organizing is a fundamental leadership quality．Children can learn this skill byhelping to plan a concert or play．Instead of assigning just one leader, divide the group into several small ones and assign leaders to each group．One group can be in charge of assigning roles and the second could be in charge of making invitations．How you distribute leadership roles will vary depending on the age of thechildren and what you have chosen to perform．Compromise is a skill of many effective leaders．Goals are obtained faster when arguments don't slow the process．Activities that teach children the art of compromise help them to negotiate with friends and family naturally．Group science projects, for example, can help enable children to learn how to compromise and negotiate．The success or failure of the project will depend on the children's ability to negotiate andwork together．The ability to work well with others is another important leadership skill．Team sports like baseball can teach children how to work as a group and that their contribution is important to the overall success of the team．This builds their confidence and encourages them to think beyond themselves and their individual needs．81．What activities can be used to introduce children to the concept of leadership? （No more than 5 words）（2 marks）82．How can children learn an important leadership quality according to Paragraph 3? (No more than 8 words) (2 marks)83．What is the principle of distributing leadership roles when planning a play? （No more than 8 words）（3 marks）84．What's the main idea of Paragraph 4? （No more than 8 words）（3 marks）【题文】请从这则寓言中提炼出一个恰当的主题，写一篇不少于120词的读后感。

Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal (致命) accident as a teenager driving alone. By contrast, the risk of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional passenger.The author also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased dramatically after 10 p. m., and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident.Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior” than with just a lack of driving experience. “The basic thing,” he says, “is that a dults who are responsible for issuing (发放) licenses fail to recognize how skilled a task driving is.”Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to reduce the harm is to have so-called graduated licensing systems, in which getting a license is a slower process. A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself capable of driving in the presence of an adult, followed by a period of driving at night with a limited number of passengers before graduating to get a full driving license.Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes, according to recent studies. About half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place, but only 10 of those states have number limitation on passengers. California is the strictest, with a new driver prohibited from carrying any passenger under 20 for the first six months.56. Which of the following situations is most dangerous according to the passage?A. Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after 10 p. m.B. A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car.C. Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night.D. A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight.57. According to Robert Foss, the high death rate of teenage drivers is mainly due to __________.A. their frequent driving at nightB. their lack of driving experienceC. their improper way of drivingD. their driving with passengers58. Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 3?A. Teenagers should spend more time learning to drive.B. Driving is a skill too difficult for teenagers to learn.C. Teenagers should be limited in taking driving lessons.D. People issuing license are partly responsible for the accidents.59. A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenagers’ driving accidents is that __________.A. driving in the presence of an adult should be made a ruleB. they should be forbidden to take on passengersC. they should not be allowed to drive after 10 p. m.D. the licensing systems should be improved60. The present situation in about half of the states is that the graduated licensing system __________.A. is under discussionB. is about to be set upC. has been put into effectD. has been perfectedB“Confidence”is probably one of the most noticeable traits (特点) in the Americans. They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk. Living and competing with all these confident American students, I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and a foreign instructor. As a student, being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind. Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all. What’s worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it. Pretending to understand what you actually do not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace. But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to myoffice and bargain about the grades I have given for their speeches (The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking). Modesty is a trait highly valued in China, but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.61. To compete with American students, it’s very important to __________.A. be quite confidentB. be polite and friendlyC. have more discussions with themD. understand what they think about62. A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who __________.A. gives a silly or simple answerB. tries to seize any chance to speak in classC. shows no interest in the courseD. is considered to have no opinion of his own63. The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if __________.A. he asks a student to repeat what he has saidB. the students bargain with himC. he pretends to know what he doesn’tD. he has to give a speech64. We learn from the second paragraph that __________.A. we should also remain modest in AmericaB. modesty doesn’t help you much in AmericaC. Americans also like modest peopleD. modesty can help you get through an American graduate program65. The passage is mainly developed by __________.A. providing examplesB. making comparisonsC. giving different figuresD. telling personal experiencesCDo you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized(把……归类) as “honor”help you create this life of good feelings.Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky (暗中的) excitement. Later we might tell our family or friendsabout our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable actions we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions.Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it’s started, it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.66. According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our __________.A. self-respectB. financial rewardsC. advertising abilityD. friendly relationship67. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to __________.A. lyingB. stealingC. cheatingD. advertising68. The underlined phrase “bringing the error to the clerk’s attention” means __________.A. telling the truth to the clerkB. offering advice to the clerkC. asking the clerk to be more attentiveD. reminding the clerk of the charged items69. How will we feel if we let the clerk know the mistake?A. We’ll be very excited.B. We’ll feel unfortunate.C. We’ll have a sense of honor.D. We’ll feel sorry for the clerk.70. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. How to Live TruthfullyB. Importance of PeacefulnessC. Ways of Gaining Self-respectD. Happiness through Honorable ActionsPart ⅣWriting (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.No one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic(民主的) society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of a whole. The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth.There’re those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept. What could be more important than the individual himself? If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence. Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in a school, removes all envy and competition in the matter of dress, such that a poor person who can’t afford good quality clothing needn’t be looked down upon by a wealthy person who wears expensive, quality clothing. Those persons conveniently ignore such vital concepts as freedom of choice, motivation and individuality. If all persons were to wear the same clothing, why would anyone struggle to be better? It’s only a short step from forcing everyone to wear the same clothing to forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of house, and eat the same type of food. When this happens, all inspiration to improve one’s life is removed. Why would parents bother to work hard so that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had?Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales persons would be more than enough as well; why bother to sell the only items that are available? The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry which in turn would have a chain effect on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines and television wouldn’t be able to remain in business. The entire information and entertainment industries would crash.Title: 71 effects of forcing people to wear the uniformⅠ.

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.The young man heading out of the convenience store wanted to do the right thing. He really did.But Zagros Bigvand was in a hurry that day last summer, and the elderly woman with the cane (拐杖) “was walking really, really slow”. So he let go of the door he’d been holding open for the stranger—just as she neared it. “I held the door for that lady for five minutes,” said Bigvand, of Dallas, Texas. “But finally I had to go. So I let it go and she looked at me and I looked at her. I felt bad about it all day. And I said I wish I could apologize to that woman.” So he did. His online apology became the beginning for apology, one of a growing number of so-called confession(忏悔) websites aimed at allowing people anonymously(匿名地) to admit to, and apologize for, anything—from being a shopaholic(购物狂) to cheating on a partner. “Human beings have a ne ed to confess,” said James Campbell Quick, a fellow with the American Psychological Association. “We don’t always want people to know the depths of our souls. Anonymity lets us flush that stuff out there and walk away.” Confession websites have become popular over the past few years. Almost all online confession sites promise anonymity. Website operators say there is no way to know which claims are factual and which are not. And there is no way to track participants either. Though it is commonly believed that confession is therapeutic(有治疗功能的), Timothy Wolff, an associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Texas, said he doesn’t see online confession as the best way to remove guilt or handle a crisis. “There’s an element(元素) of separation, physically, that allows people to do it without fear of reprisal(报复),” Wolff said. “But if someone does it and the response is not quite so bad, then they might put it out there in reality.”81.

湖南省长沙市长郡中学2024-2025学年高三上学期月考试卷(一)英语试卷

湖南省长沙市长郡中学2024-2025学年高三上学期月考试卷（一）英语试卷一、阅读理解As Pakistan and China are marking 2023 as a Year of Tourism, Pakistan’s breathtaking natural beauty, diverse cultural heritage and historical landmarks are all set to catch the attentionof tourists.Balochistan: Nature’s Bounty UnveiledStretching across vast expanses, Balochistan is Pakistan’s largest province, boasting not only abundant mineral resources but unique natural beauty. Its mountain ranges, mines and extensive coastal belt, which is home to the prosperous Gwadar Port, attract adventurers.Punjab: A Tapestry of History and HeritageIn the heart of Pakistan lies Punjab province, a land of green agricultural fields, intricate (交错的) river networks, ancient forts and charming Mughal-era gardens. Over two millennia (千年) ago, the Gandhara Buddhist civilization thrived in northern Pakistan, with Taxil a serving as its primary center of learning.Sindh: A Tapestry of History and CultureSindh, in Pakistan’s southern region, weaves together a tale of history and natural beauty. Itis home to the ancient city of Mohenjo-Daro, a relic of the Indus Valley Civilization, along with the modern city of Karachi and its picturesque coastline.Northern Pakistan: Nature’s MasterpieceSpread over 72,496 square kilometers, Pakistan’s northern regions are a masterpiece of nature. Among towering peaks, including numerous summits over 8,000 meters, peaceful valleys like Gilgit, Hunza and Skardu offer a brief escape.As Pakistan invites the world to explore its diverse and fascinating landscapes, it also extends a warm invitation to discovery the history, spirituality and natural wonders that define this remarkable nation.1．As a Buddhist, your favorite destination in Pakistan might be __________.A．Balochistan B．Punjab C．Sindh D．Gilgit2．What do the four parts have in common?A．Natural beauty.B．Historical origin.C．Cultural relics.D．Diverse resources.3．The passage serves as a(n) __________.A．guidance B．introduction C．commercial D．noticeThere comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to preserve everything from our past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area. But the proposal led to protests. Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt’s cultural heritage. After listening to different voices, the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics. The group asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds within the international community. Experts investigated the issue, conducted several tests, and then made a proposal for how the buildings could be saved. Finally, a document was signed, and the work began in 1960.The project brought together governments and environmentalists from around the world. Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a place where they were safe from the water. In 1961, German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of engineers and workers rescue d 22 temples and countless cultural relics. Fifty countries donated nearly $80 million to the project. When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still alive today. If a problem seems too difficult for a single nation, the global community can sometimes provide a solution.4．What was the major concern regarding the construction of the new dam?A．The damage to local farms.B．The high cost of the construction.C．The disapproval of local communities.D．The potential harm to cultural remains.5．How were the cultural sites rescued?A．By rebuilding similar cultural sites.B．By building fences around them.C．By taking them down into pieces.D．By removing and piecing them together again.6．Which of the following best describes the Aswan Dam project?A．International cooperation is not necessary for large-scale projects.B．It is possible to achieve progress without sacrificing cultural heritage.C．The opinions of experts should be ignored in favor of popular opinion.D．Countries should always prioritize their own interests over global concerns.7．What is the key to the success of the Aswan Dam project?A．Trial and error.B．Adequate investment.C．Global cooperation.D．Careful investigation.Since the last ice age, humans have cleared nearly half of the earth’s forests and grasslands for agriculture. With the world population expanding, there’s ever-increasing pressure on farmland to produce not only more food but also clean energy. In places such as Yakima County, Washington, it’s created competition for space as land-hungry solar panels (板) consume available fields. Last month, the state approved plans to cover 1,700 acres of agricultural land with solar panels, fueling concerns over the long-term impacts of losing cropland.A recent study from the University of California, however, shows how farmers may soon harvest crops and energy together. One researcher, Majdi Abou Najm, explains that visible light spectrum (光谱) can be separated into blue and red light waves, and their photons (光子) have different properties. Blue ones have higher energy than red ones. While that gives blue light what is needed to generate power, it also results in higher temperatures. “From a plant angle, redphotons are the efficient ones,” says Abou Najm. “They don’t make the plant feel hot.”A goal of the study is to create a new generation of solar panels. He sees potential in the organic solar cells, which come from carbon-based materials. Thin and transparent, the cells are applied like a film onto various surfaces. This new technology could be used to develop special solar panels that block blue light to generate power, while passing the red light on to crops planted directly below. These panels could also provide shade for heat-sensitive fruits during the hottest part of the day.By 2050, we’ll have two billion more people, and we’ll need more food and more energy. By maximizing the solar spectrum, “we’re making full use of an endlessly sustainable resource,” says Abou Najm. “If a technology kicks in that can develop these panels, then the sky is the limit on how efficient we can be.”8．What problem does the first paragraph focus on?A．Losing cropland to solar panels.B．Distribution of the world population.C．Reduction in forests and grasslands.D．Competing for land between farmers.9．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．Generation of solar power.B．Hot weather increasing efficiency.C．Blue photons having higher energy.D．Separation of visible light spectrum.10．What do we know about the organic solar cells?A．They make fruits heat-sensitive.B．They can cool down in hot days,C．They allow red light to pass through.D．They can store carbon-based materials.11．What does Abou Najm think of the future of the new solar panels?A．Limited.B．Promising.C．Uncertain.D．Challenging.While Industry 5.0 is believed to have started in 2020, the rise of AI in recent years has led experts to say it is now coming. Imagine AI-powered robots that see, hear, touch and more, pooling fresh data from across those groups of sensors to create that data with the vast ranges of digital data stored elsewhere online. The age is a major leap from the First Industrial Revolution, when steam engine started to achieve widespread commercial use.Professor John Nosta says, “The integration of sensory capabilities into AI models is not merely a technological leap. It represents a shift in our philosophical understanding of artificial and human intelligence.”He has also referred to the new era as “the Cognitive (认知) Age,” which will completely change how humans live, work, and think about themselves. According to Nosta, humans don’t typically think of computers as “experiencing” the world themselves. But that assumption will be challenged as more advanced AI systems are hooked up to ever more and ever greater sensors. The machines won’t just be logic boxes that humans input data and commands for processing. The AI will collect that data more and more on its own, experiencing the world for itself.“This is not just about understanding words, but also about grasping the tone, pitch (音高), and emphasis, which add layers of meaning often absent in written text. Image recognition adds another layer of complexity,” he added. “For example, it can analyze photographs, identify objects, and even understand the emotional content of facial expressions.”The Johannesburg-based business school is just one of many college-level programs attempting to investigate and teach its students about the still-emerging IR 5.0. Seton Hall in New Jersey offers a three-credit course on this latest age in human technology and trade; MIT has brought in guest speakers to lecture on the concept, and many other research institutions are following suit.12．Where does IR 5.0 differ from previous industrial revolution?A．It processes data and commands.B．It interacts with humans through texts.C．It enhances human sensory capabilities.D．It employs more senses in its application. 13．Why is IR 5. 0 called the Cognitive age?A．AI collects and interprets data itself.B．AI turns written texts into voice.C．AI understands written language well.D．AI has an ability of expressing emotions 14．How do some colleges address IR 5.0?A．By offering related courses.B．By expecting more industrial revolution.C．By applying AI to the technological trade.D．By preparing for the rapid economic changes.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Al Is Approaching Us Gradually B．A New IR Is About Machine LearningC．AI Has Developed Its Own Senses D．We Are Entering IR 5.0 NowPursue Y our Dreams Today, Not TomorrowHave you caught yourself daydreaming about your dreams? We often postpone our dreams, trapped in a cycle of delay. But why wait? 16 You don’t have to take a huge, life-changing step. You can take minute steps toward a brighter future. And start right now.17 If you never try, you’re going to be weighed down by your regrets. You’re always going to wonder how your life would’ve turned out if you actually took a chance on yourself. Don’t let your future self be disappointed by your present self.It doesn’t matter how old you are or how many people have warned you that you’re never going to succeed. Even the most successful people have had their hesitations about whether they had what it took to make it in their field. 18 Embrace a mindset of determination, knowing that success is within your reach.At the end of the day, you need to carve out a path for yourself that will lead to the most satisfaction. If you allow your fear to get the best of you, you’re never going to forgive yourself.19 . It’s what you would encourage your friends to do, so why aren’t you giving yourself that same push?Sometimes, following your passion means spending a lot of your time each day. It may require making slight adjustments to your schedule, but you don’t have to sacrifice everything to follow your hearts. Try to strike a balance between your current life and your dreams. 20 Pursue your dreams now, even though that means you might need to break out of your comfort zone, and even though it means entering the unknown.A．Ask yourself what would be worse.B．Starting small is completely acceptable.C．You owe it to yourself to go after your dreams.D．New opportunities may lead to personal growth.E．If things go well, you can gradually make further shifts.F．You need to move past your insecurities and explore your full potential.G．Hard as it is, it’s crucial to wave off the doubts in the back of your mind.二、完形填空As a first-generation Asian immigrant(移民)who had grown up in poverty, I knew I was beyond 21 to be admitted into Harvard.
