Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Recent years have seen considerable growth in the number of children learning a second or foreign language, as the importance of being able to use a language other than one’s first language has become recognized in an increasingly globalized world. In Asia and Europe ___51___, there has been a tendency to ___52___ the age at which school children begin to learn a foreign language, since it is believed that the earlier a child starts to learn a foreign language, the greater the ultimate achievement will be.In many countries, the language of education is not the same as the language of the home for__53__ children. Furthermore, in many countries, young language learners comprise the most rapidly growing segment of the elementary (primary) school population.___54__ in some schools there is no extra support to help young language learners acquire the language of instruction, in most countries where there are large numbers of young learners, there is a ___55___ awareness of their special needs.

Language ___58___, whether this is informal, classroom- based, or large-scale, thus has a __59___ role to play in gathering the information needed for these purposes.Unfortunately, the vast majority of teachers who work with young language learners have had little or no ___60___ training or education in language assessment. Teachers are involved inassessment on a daily basis, as they ___61___ their pupils’ classroom performance, and as they develop formal classroom assessments. Assessment should therefore, wherever possible, be familiar and involve familiar adults, rather than ___62_____. The environment should be safe for the learner.

If you are isolated, make a point of joining social clubs or church groups so you can laugh and share life’s joys.3. Stay mentally activeThis is very important—use it or lose it! People who allow their mental faculties to decline run the risk of shortening their lives through falls and other injuries, and not being able to take care of themselves. Read the newspaper, visit the public library, balance your checkbook withouta calculator, and exercise your brain by doing crossword puzzle.4. DietThe key words are “high-fiber, low-fat”.

Drugs are unnecessary because of side-effects.( B )“W e are going to have to get rid of Bay this year,” Meg’s dad said. “That horse can’t work another winter.”It was October, and snow was falling lightly over their part of Montana. Meg knew the ranch needed strong, steady horses to bring the sheep back from pasture. Still, she could hardly take in the enormity of her father’s words.“I know Bay’s old,” Meg told her dad, “but he is my horse. Won’t you let me keep him? I’d feed him. He won’t be a problem.”“We use horses for labor,” her dad said, “We don’t keep them as pets.”Meg understood. She thought about Casey, a dog she had once loved. He became lost when he chased a wandering sheep and never came home. Meg had been sad for weeks. She knew that on a ranch, animals come and go. You couldn’t grow attached to them. Bay was different, though. The horse had a personality all his own.She went to the stable and stroked the old brown horse’s head. As Bay nuzzled her hand, Meg tried to imagine what the ranch would be like without her favorite horse.The snow was falling faster, and dark gray clouds were settling over the peaks. Meg had an idea. She saddled Bay, put her foot in the stirrup, and swung up. “Let’s go !”she cried, and nudged him with heels.They galloped over the meadow, onto a steep and narrow trail, and up a wooded slope. “We’ll round up the sheep now, before the snow gets too thick,” Meg said. “We will show Dad how well you work.”.The sheep stood in a high pasture, bleating at the storm clouds. Meg heard a lone bleat from above. She looked for the lost sheep but couldn’t see it. “It must be stuck in the bush above the rock wall,” she thought.She got off her horse and began to climb up the steep wall. She was almost at the top when the heel of her foot slipped into a crack. She lost her balance and fell onto a rock. She tried to stand, but her foot hurt too much.Then Bay got into position under the rock. He was telling Meg to crawl onto his back!Painfully, Meg got her feet into the stirrups. Slowly and carefully, Bay carried her down the snow trail.On the way down, they met Dad riding his gray horse. “What happened ?”he asked anxiously.“Bay saved me.” Meg told him what happened.Dad’s voice shook when he said, “ I wouldn’t get rid of that horse for anything.”70. Meg’s dad intended to ______________.A. trade Bay for sheepB. let Meg keep Bay as a pet.C. sell or kill BayD. keep Bay working for another winter.71. Meg hoped to keep Bay because______________.A. Bay was a good sheep-keeper.B. Bay was like a good friend.C. Bay was strong and beautiful.D. Bay was the only animal she loved.72. Meg rode Bay to the pasture to ___________.A. look for a lost sheep.B. round up the sheep.C. climb over the meadow.D. meet her father.73. Why does Dad change his mind about Bay?A. Bay found the lost sheep and Meg.B. Bay was such a good friend to Meg.C. Bay proved his importance by rescuing Meg.D. Bay proved that he had a personality all his own.( C )One picture in the Wonder Book of knowledge I had as a little boy showed a man reading a book while floating in the Dead Sea. What a miracle! How would it feel to lie back in water so thick with salt that it was impossible to sink?Fed by the Jordan River and smaller streams, the Dead Sea is the lowest point on the earth’s surface, and its water is ten times saltier than the Mediterranean. With evaporation its only outlet, salt and other minerals become super-concentrated.Earlier this year, I drove down the long, steep hill to realize my dream. The shoreline was a broad area of bare salt-mud, but the water edge was far out of sight. Had somebody pulled the Dead Sea’s plug? I wondered. Eli Dior, an Israeli official, explained the problem: “ The Dead Sea is drying up. Every year, the surface drops about one meter, and as the water level falls, shadow areas are left high and dry.”Over the last half-century, the five neighboring countries have collectively diverted nearly all the water flowing into the Dead Sea to meet human and agriculture needs. Result: the Dead Sea is being emptied.With population in the region set to double at least in the next 50 years, there is little hope of restoring the water being diverted for human consumption. No country has a drop to spare for the Dead Sea, where they know it will just evaporate. To dream of opening the dams and restoring natural balance is plainly unrealistic.Yet one ambitious high-tech dream may turn out to be not only the salvation of the Dead Sea but also a ticket to peace around its shores. The “ Red-Dead” is a proposed $5 billion project to bring sea water some 240 kilometers by pipeline and canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea. The Red-Dead may be the only solution, but even if the project is carried out successfully, the Dead Sea will be 10 to 20 meters lower than now and two thirds of its current size.Whatever the future holds, the Dead Sea’s magical mix of sun, mud, sea and salt will surely survive. Many might complain that the Dead Sea is half empty—but for me the Dead sea will always be half full.74. What’s the passage mainly about ?A. Dead Sea—miracle of the world.B. Save the environment of the Dead Sea.C. Slow shrinking of the Dead Sea.D. Why is the Dead Sea so salty.75. The shrinking of the Dead Sea is mainly caused by _________ according to the passage.A. a severe reduction of the water flowing into the sea.B. rapid evaporation of the water in the Dead Sea area.C. the increasing quantity of water drawn from the sea.D. very low annual rainfall in the Dead Sea Area.76. Which of the following is right according to the passage?A. With no outlet to any ocean, the Dead Sea has become by evaporation the saltiest onearth.B. Though burdened with the growing population, the neighboring countries haven’t cut offthe sources of the Dead Sea.C. All the countries in the area will consider diverting less water from the Jordan River.D. The Red-Dead Project has not only brought water to the Dead Sea, but peace to the areaas well.77. Which of the following statements will the author approve of ?A. If the Dead Sea dried up, great natural disasters would happen in the region.B. The Dead Sea will not survive no matter what people do to save it.C. The five neighboring countries should stop diverting water from the Jordan River.D. Though the Dead Sea is shrinking gradually, it will not die.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.However important we may regard school life to be, there is no denying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the great influence of parents cannot be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong allies of the school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously hinder and frustrate curricular objectives.Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents informed of the newer methods used in schools. Many principles have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program, manuscript writing and developmental mathematics. Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The informal tea and the many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of reporting pupils’ progress, can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home.To illustrate, suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent sublimate (升华) his natural paternal interest into productive channels. He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a standard or measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics, and at the same time, enjoying the work. Too often, however, teachers’conferences with parents are devoted to petty(不重要的) accounts of children’s misdeeds, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestion for penalties and rewards at home.What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional adviser, plants ideas in parents’ minds for the best utilization of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom.In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters’capacities.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements with NO MORE THAN 14 WORDS) 78. Why do parents also have great influence on children?_____________________________________________________________________________ 79. Through which ways can the teacher play an important role in enlightening parents?_____________________________________________________________________________ 80. According to the teacher, that parent should let the boy _____________________________ if he wants to sublimate his natural paternal interest into productive channels in teaching his son arithmetic.81. A more creative approach is needed for _____________________of children out of classroom.第Ⅱ卷(共47分)I.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（14分）Chuck Wall teaches management and human relations at Bakersfield College. He walked into the class one day and told his students that their homework was to perform one act of random (任意的) kindness. His students did not c 81 understand the homework and didn‟t know what to do, but the professor would not answer their questions. He encouraged his students to work it out by themselves.One week later, the students entered the classroom excitedly to share their s 82 . One student gave away blankets to the homeless. Another reported on helping an old man cleaning the house, and another student had been trying to f 83 a long, lost friend. Students were energized (给予活力) by the homework and wanted other people to be kind too. And luckily, the local businesses provided them with some money and materials. With the s 84 of them, the students made stickers to put on cars that invited people to do something kind for others. They sold the stickers and decided to donate the money to a center for the blind―not surprising as Professor Wall is blind.Since then, kindness activities have been very p 85 in schools around the world. Many schools organize a Random Acts of Kindness Week, around November 13th, to celebrate World Kindness Day. Some schools use each day of Random Acts of Kindness Week to perform different kind acts, such as making a new friend, helping someone, doing community service, or r 86 money for a charity.

Like many lovers of books, theys 81 walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.In order to realize their w 82 , they started by talking to bookstore owners and researching book business. One figure caught Mary’s attention: She had read somewhere that about 20 percent of books sold were mysteries(推理小说), and many buyers of mysteries spent more than $300 a year on books. She and Richard themselves were mystery r 83 and had a big collection of such books.On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three childrenin college, it was i 84 for the couple to spend all the family’s money to start a shop.

When facing an exam, EQ helps us to manage our feelings. When getting along with friendsor parents, EQ helps us to c 81 well.EQ is shaped partly by genetics（基因）. You can see some babies are quiet, while others are not.B 82 , EQ is something you can learn for yourself. You can learn what different feelings might mean and how they relate to yourself and others. If we learn in the right way, our EQ can get better as we get older. Children with a high EQ usually have greater success with making friends. Having a high EQ needs a few different skills. Learning about these skills can help us to i 83 our EQ. But what are they? Let’s take a look!1. Know yourselfMost people feel many different feelings t 84 the day. Some feelings like surprise last just a few seconds. Others, like happiness and sadness, may stay around much l 85 . Being able to recognize these everyday feelings is the most basic of all EQ skills.2. Manage yourselfWe all get angry. We all have disappointments. But we need to control it. It is not always the right time or place to express our feelings. When you are angry with someone, take a deep breath and s 86 count to 10. This way, you can calm down.3.

Because of the love for dogs, she becomes a dog trainer in a circus. When she was a child, Gail often trained her dogs to do tricks for fun. At the age of ten, she did her first dog show. By now, she has done her job for about 14 years.For Gail, how long it takes her to train a dog well depends on the dog itself. Gail has thirteen dogs in the circus. To train them better, she tried to make friends with each one. And Gail spent lots of time on it. Now it seems that all her dogs consider Gail as their best friend. They get on well with Gail very much.“Dogs can start to perform the big tricks after they are two years old. As practice, I made my dogs perform in some small shows when they were as young as eight months old. At that time, they started to get used to performing before the people around.” Gail said.“When the dogs and I travel to different places to perform, I can make fr iends with lots of people and see beautiful sights. However, nothing is more wonderful than the life in the circus, because I can stay with my dogs all the time,” Gail also said proudly.(15. T 16. F 17. T 18. T 19. F 20. T)D.

If yes, we are sorry to tell you that you will miss a wonderful dinner in the sky. Dinner in the sky can of course make an experience that it is hard for your friends to forget.In fact, the idea of Dinner in the Sky is developed by a Belgian company. The dinner is hosted at a table floating at a height of 50 metres. A team of professionals help make the table safe in the air. Of course, dinner is not the only choice. Breakfast in the sky, lunch in the sky, meeting in the sky…. Just whatever you want.What’s more, Dinner in the Sky can take place anywhere. It has been operated in more than 15 countries. If there is an open ground of 500 m2, get ready to take action.You may wonder whether it is safe to have dinner in the sky. But don’t worry about that. Dinner in the Sky is a completely safe way to enjoy life. The Belgian company provides this special service according to safety. It is designed and examined strictly according to the International Safety Standard. That is probably the reason why it is still flying in the sky.So are you getting interested? If you want to have a special memory, try Dinner in the Sky.21. in…air 22. 15/fifteen countr ies 23.get ready 24. enjoy life 25. is flying。

However, instead of stayingat home, Li Chunyuan, a Junior 1 student at No. 42 MiddleSchool, went out with her classmates. They made posters byt 81 and called on people not to set off fireworks.The students did this in order to r 82 airpollution. Since January, many cities in China have seen a lot of foggy days. In Beijing, only five days in January were free of smog (雾霾).An official for the Ministry of Environmental Protection told Beijing News that PM2.5 pollution is the m 83 problem with air pollution.Poor air has done harm to people’s health. Children and the elderly are more at risk. A report from Beijing Children’s Hospit al shows that half of the p 84 had respiratory (呼吸道的) problems from Jan. 5 to 11.To respond to the air problem, the Chinese government and many Chinese people have started to take action. Beijing announced a plan to use clean fuel in government vehicles and plant trees. It a 85 asked citizens to set off fewer fireworks for the Spring Festival celebration.They suggested that cars with large emissions(排放) should be banned(禁止) and factories should be closely watched. Three students from No. 4 High School in Beijing wrote a report to advise h 86 to fight the air pollution.“We hope more people will j 87 us to protect our environment. With all our efforts, the blue ski es will certainly return soon,” said Shi Yucong, one of the three students.2.奉贤How can I win a Nobel Prize for writing? Here’s the secret from this year’s winner: make it short, keep it real, and work hard.Canadian author Alice Munro, 82, was a 81 the 2013 Nobel Prize in literature (文学). She is known for her short stories about personal relationships of ordinary people, usually women.Munro was born in a farmer family inOntario. The family was very poor. Munrodid a lot of physical work a 82 ayoung girl.But she decided to be a w 83when she was 12. She turns her hardchildhood into great writing ideas.The story Dear Life, for example, openswith a description of the neighborhood in which Munro grew up.B 84 , she talked about her poor relationship with her mother in many of her stories, such as Lives of Girls and Women and Friend of My Youth.Since she p85her first book in 1968, Munro has won many awards, with the Nobel Prize as her biggest honor. But Munro doesn’t see h 86 as a talented writer.“I’m the opposite of a writer with a quick gift. I don’t grasp it very readily (轻而易举地) at all, the ‘it’ being whatever I’m trying to do,” she said.Do you d 87 of becoming a writer while sadly admitting you are not that talented? Munro has a tip for you: use notebooks and write a lot.“I have lots of notebooks that contain this terribly clumsy (蹩脚的) writing,” she said. But it helps her sort out her mind. “Stories would just be working in my head for so long that when I started to write I was deep into them.”3.黄埔区● Do something d87 . When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere else. Try to laugh.4.金山区Butterfly fairyThere was once a little girl. She had no family, and noone loved her. One day, when she was walking through afield, she noticed a small butterfly c 81 in a thornbush（荆刺丛）. The more the butterfly tried to free itself,the deeper the thorns cut into its body. The little girl c82 let go the butterfly. Instead of going away, the butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy.“For your kindness,” the butterfly fairy said to the little girl, “I will give you any w 83 you would like to have.”The little girl thought for a moment and then replied, “I want to be h 84 .”The fairy said, “Very good.” Then she got close to the girl’s ear and said something to her in a low voice.As the little girl grew up, there was no one in the village s 85 happy as she. Everyone asked the secret of her happiness. She would smile and only answer, “The secret of my happiness is that I listened to a butterfly fairy when I was a little girl.”When she was very old, the neighbours all came to visit her. They were a 86 that her secret of happiness would die with her. “Tell us, please,” they begged, “tell us what the fairy said.”The old woman smiled and said, “She told me that everyone, old or youn g, poor or rich, beautiful or ugly, n 87 me. She said that always helping others would make my dream come true.”5.静安区Who is managing things in your town or city? Someone repairs a broken window in the library. Someone makes sure the traffic lights work. Someone pumps clean water into the pipes. Someone c 81 for the animals in the zoo.The people who do these jobs are part of the government. In mosttowns or cities, they work for the mayor (市长). The mayor workswith other o 82 . They manage the city and make sure that thework gets done. They fix old things, like roads and bridges. Theybuild new things, like schools and parks. If people c 83 , they listen carefully. Then they change things that are wrong. For example, if a law isn’t f 84 to some people, they change it. They try to do what the people want.Election Day is report card time! If people think the city government is doing fine, they might k 85 the same mayor. If there are problems, they might elect a new mayor.On Election Day, people go to different places to vote (投票). Then all the votes are c 86 . The mayor may win or lose. For the winner, there is lots of excitement! There is a big party with balloons f 87 in the air!The next day, it’s time to run the city or town again. The mayor must do a good job. The office members must work hard, too. After all, in a few years, there will be another Election Day.2.普陀区Mary and her husband, Richard Goldman, loved books. Like many lovers of books, theys 81 walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.In order to realize their w 82 , they started by talking to bookstore owners and researching book business. One figure caught Mary’s attention: She had read somewhere that about 20 percent of books sold were mysteries(推理小说), and many buyers of mysteries spent more than $300 a year on books. She and Richard themselves were mystery r 83 and had a big collection of such books.On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Cafénear their home. With three children in college, it was i 84 for the couple to spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To cover the $100,000 cost, they used some of their savings, borrowed from relatives and from a bank.In order to a 85 customers, Mary always had new ways.The shop had a coffee bar and it offered presents to mystery loversand served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She alsoinvited many writers to d 86 their stories with the buyers tolet them understand the stories better. Now after paying taxes,business costs and the six part-time sales clerks, Richard and Marytogether earn about $34,000.“The job we love may not go hand in hand with lots of money,” says Richard. “We do this to give an e87 life to ourselves. This is not about making a lot of money. What matters is that we gain happiness from it.”3.徐汇区Most people know that intelligence quotient (IQ) is important, but EQ is probably more important in daily life. When facing an exam, EQ helps us to manage our feelings. When getting along with friends or parents, EQ helps us to c 81 well.EQ is shaped partly by genetics（基因）. You can see some babies are quiet, while others are not.B 82 , EQ is something you can learn for yourself. You can learn what different feelings might mean and how they relate to yourself and others. If we learn in the right way, our EQ can get better as we get older. Children with a high EQ usually have greater success with making friends. Having a high EQ needs a few different skills. Learning about these skills can help us to i 83 our EQ. But what are they? Let’s take a look!1. Know yourselfMost people feel many different feelings t 84 the day. Some feelings like surprise last just a few seconds. Others, like happiness and sadness, may stay around much l 85 . Being able to recognize these everyday feelings is the most basic of all EQ skills.2. Manage yourselfWe all get angry. We all have disappointments. But we need to control it. It is not always the right time or place to express our feelings. When you are angry with someone, take a deep breath and s 86 count to 10. This way, you can calm down.3. Encourage yourselfWhen you fail an exam, you may be disappointed. But there is something more effective you can do—learn to encourage yourself. It gives you the energy and c 87 to move on. It helps you to build a strong heart.1.崇明县C. 81.themselves 82.reduce 83.main 84.patients 85.also 86.how87.join2.奉贤C）81. awarded 82. as 83. writer 84.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Most of time black and white appears as opposites. White means light and purity. Black is darkness and evil. But not always true. Sometimes the words are used differently. White hats and black hats represent the traditional meaning of the words. The hats are the symbols of the “good guys” and the “bad guys” in American western movies. Now the tradition of white hats and black hats is no longer a part of movie making, 25 you still hear the expression whenpeople talk about good guys and bad guys. A black sheep is a persona person who is not welcome at family gatherings. Black 29 (use) in some expressi ons is described as good things. Being “in the black” for example is a good situation for anyone. It is a business expression that means a company is earning money. When someone says his business is “in the red”, he means it is losing money. White usually means something good. A “white color” job, for example, is the kind of job many people seek. It is a job where you w orkmeant to paint over something with a white paint to make 32 look better. But now “whitewash” has a different meaning: to hide or cover up mistakes or failures.(B)I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994, but I can remember33 my mother told me as if it were yesterday: "Kernel, I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS.

For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition got 35 (bad).

But parents from Prince George's County to Salt Lake City are lately fighting back, questioning the usefulness and of teachers piling on summer reading and math problems. III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Brief History of the World's FairWorld's Fairs originated in the French tradition of national exhibitions, a tradition that ended with the French Industrial Exposition of 1844 held in Paris. It was soon followed by other national 51 in continental Europe, and finally came to London 52the first real international exhibition was held. Since their start in 1851, the 53 of world expositions has developed gradually. Three eras can be distinguished: the era of industrialization, the era of cultural exchange, and the era of nation branding.Industrialization (185l-l938)The first era could be called the era of industrialization and covered the period from 1851 to 1938. In these days, world expositions were 54 focused on trade and famous for the display of technological inventions and advancements. World expositions were the 55 where the state of the art in science and technology from around the world was brought together. Inventions such as the telephone were first presented during this era. Animportant part of the 56 of World's Fairs stems from this first era.57 exchange (1939-1991)The 1939 New York World's Fair and the 1949 Stockholm World's Fair were different from the original focus of the expositions. From then on, World's Fairs became more strongly based on a 58 theme of cultural significance, and began to address issues of humankind. Technology and inventions remained 59 , but no longer as the principal subjects of the Fair. Cross-cultural dialogue and the exchange of solutions became 60 elements of the expos. It was also during this time, specifically in the 1960s, that BIE organizers started calling World's Fairs "Expos".Nation branding (1992-present)From Expo'88 in Brisbane onwards, countries started to use World Expositions more widely and more strongly as a platform to improve their national images through their pavilions. Finland,Japan, Canada, France and Spain are cases in point. A large study by Tjaco Walvis called "Expo 2000 Hanover in Numbers" showed that improving national images was the primary participation goal for 73% of the countries at Expo 2000. In a world where a strong national image is a key asset (财产) , pavilions became advertising 61 , and the Expo a channel for nation branding. 62 cultural and symbolic reasons, organizing countries (and the cities and regions hosting them) also use the world exposition to brand themselves. Future expositions2017 will see a recognized exposition. Bidding may begin as early as 2012 for this smaller-sized exposition. Already, Edmonton, Alberta and Canada have 63 to go on with the second stage of putting together a bid for Edmonton EXPO 2017. 2020 will 64 a registered category of exposition. Bidding may begin as early as 2011 for this larger sized exposition. There are citizen 65 in American cities with the intention of bringing a World's Fair back to the United States.51.

A. complaints B. efforts C. energies D. achievementsSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.( A )What is the meaning of “madness”? In the US every March, it’s 64 men’s college basketball teams playing 63 games in less than a month. But it’s not just the tournament that’s a little crazy—people all over the country also go mad trying to predict the winner.Even billionaire investor Warren Buffet seems to be going crazy. In late January, Buffet announced that he’ll give $1 billion (6.1 billion yuan) to anyone in the US who can correctly predict the winners of all 63 games this year, Reuters reported.Each year, in the week before the first round begins, people usually print and fill out March Madness brackets. A brackets is a kind of diagram that lists all the teams that play each other in the first round, leaving blank spots for all of the rounds after that. In offices and classrooms all over the US, people compete to fill out the most accurate bracket. Some people compete for prizes, like money or expensive gifts, while others do it for personal glory.According to the Wall Street Journal, the sports media company ESPN has held a national bracket contest every March for the last 16 years. And in all that time, not a single person has ever correctly predicted all 63 game results.So, wi ll anyone win Buffet’s billion? While it’s unlikely, the person with the best shot is probably Craig Gilmore, a business analyst in Virginia, US. Last year, Gilmore beat over 8 million others in ESPN’s contest, correctly predicting 50 out of the 63 games, including that No 1-ranked Louisville would beat No 4-ranked Michigan for the championship. Gilmore has said that he filled out that bracket pretty quickly—after first drinking four glasses of beer. “I didn’t overanalyze it,” he told ESPN, “I just kind of went with my gut.”That’s funny—he doesn’t sound mad at all, does he?66.Why does the author mention Warren Buffet in the article?A.To show the excitement and popularity of predicting the winner of the tournament.B.To show how people have tried to make money from other’s madness.C.To invite readers to predict the winner of March Madness.D.To introduce the bracket contest ESPN holds each year.67.Which of the following statements is true according to the article?A.March Madness has been held in the US for the last 16 years.B.Lots of people competed in the bracket contest held by ESPN in March 2014.C.Caig Gillmore is very likely to win the $1 billion award offered by Warren Buffet.D.Most Americans follow March madness because they want to win all kinds of moneyand prizes.68.The underlined word “gut” in the second-last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.A. luckB. calculationC. instinctD. statistics69. Which best describes the writer’s tone in the article?A. Optimistic.B. Humorous.C. Critical.D. Doubtful.( B )In America, the following birthdays areespecially meaningful:ONE: Whether we remember it or not,most of us had a very happy one-year-oldbirthday, at least our parents and family did.Our first birthday is an occasion for ourparents and loved ones to celebrate and tellthe world that they've had us for one wholeyear. Hooray!SIXTEEN: Sweet Sixteen, Sweet Sixteen?What's so sweet about this birthday? Perhapsbecause sixteen marks our coming of age, which is the interim10 period between childhood and adulthood. It's a very brief and unique stage in our lives. A time when we are becoming an adult, yet still haven't lost our childhood innocence.EIGHTEEN: This is the day we become legal adults in the eye of the law. We can now assume full responsibility for all aspects of our lives. We no longer need our parents' consent to go on fieldtrips12, to rent a R-rated13 movie, to have a medical procedure done, to get married, etc. If a teacher has a problemwith our grades, he comes directly to us. And if a doctor wants to discuss a medical condition, he speaks only to us.TWENTY-ONE: Most Americans celebrate this birthday with excessive partying and drinking. 21 is the legal drinking age in America. In other words, the day we turn 21 is the day we enter a whole new social plane. We can order a glass of wine with our dinner or enjoy a highball16 at a classy cocktail lounge17 without the fear of being charged with underage drinking. In addition, being 21 gives us access to bars, clubs and casinos18. In America, all establishments that serve alcohol require us to show proof of age before entrance is granted or services are rendered.THIRTY: The Big Three-O. What's so special about this birthday? In my opinion, 30th birthday is the day of introspection and reflection for many people. We look back at what we've done with our lives so far and decide if we are happy with where we are? Thirty is a critical age. We are not old but we're also not young. In other words, it's not too late for us to do the things that we've always wanted to do, but we should start on them soon because time is flying by. In other words, thirty is the age of many important questions: Do I want to get married? Do I want to have children? Should I marry the woman I met three years ago? Am I happy with my career? Do I have a future in this line of work? Is it too late to change professions? Should I start saving money to buy a house soon?70. According to the passage, at which age can American enjoy the best of two different stagesof life?A. SixteenB. EighteenC. Twenty-oneD. Thirty71. Which of the following is NOT the true meaning of celebrating the birthdays?A. Parents celebrate the first birthday of their babies to express their love.B. The age of 16 stands for a short but sweet transitional stage of life.C. People become physically and mentally mature on their 18th birthday.D. Americans are allowed to drink by the law at the age of 21.72. From the context, we may learn that probably introspection means_________.A. making decisions.B. having new plansC. starting a new lifeD. thinking deeply73. The purpose of writing this passage is _________.A. to tell people how Americans celebrate their birthdays.B. to discuss about the value of American families and their lifeC. to point out the American birthday tradition should be maintained.D. to illustrate the importance of different ages in the American’s life.( C )How does someone step up to a cash machine and withdraw money from an account holder half world away? Even when the debit card is still in the victim’s wallet? It is easy, actually, say experts. The recipe for creating fake cards is right there on the Internet.It is often called “white card” fraud. Criminals somehow get their hands on the electronic information stored on a legitimate card’s magnetic stripe. Generally, it’s stolen from a retailer or payment processor’s database, as happened when thieves last year broke into computers at CardSystems Solution Inc. Luckily for the criminals, Cardsystems didn't store just account numbers—it even stored customer’s secret codes that were never meant to be copied on magnetic stripes. Stolen “mag stripe” data is the holy grail for card thieves. Then they take the stolen data and write it onto a new, blank card—a card that’s often plain white and they are off to the bank.To show me how easy it was, two executives from MagTek Inc, one of the largest markers of credit card stripe readers gave a demonstration. Within minutes, I was withdrawing money from my account using a plain white piece of plastic at an ATM. And the key is to get an encoder.Andy and Paul Deignan are brothers who both work for MagTek. Both came by to show me how easily thieves can manufacture scores of fake codes. MagTek sells both card readers, which are seen in stores across America, and card encoders, which very few people should ever see. Encoders actually write information onto that mysterious piece of magnetic tape on the back ofthe card. Banks use them to create credit cards. Readers cost about $100. Encoders cost between $1500 and $2000 except on eBay, where stolen encoders can sell for as little as $500. Armed with one, someone can create credit and debit cards that work exactly like the cards produced by financial institutions.For demonstration purposes, the Deignan brothers took my debit card, dropped it in an encoder, copied the data from theback, and handed the card back to me. Then they took a piece of white plastic, a second card, inserted that into the encoder, and essentially pasted my ATM information onto the second card. The process took less than 15 seconds.The walk to the nearest cash machine took longer. Within a minute, I had taken a white piece of plastic and withdrawn $100 from my own checking account. Obviously, with slightly different data and a PIN number, I could have taken the money from someone else’s account. With a database of stolen information,I could have withdrawn money from hundreds of accounts.74. What does “white card” fraud refer to?A. A person who sells fake credit card to retailers or payment processors.B. Thieves withdraw money from a cash machine with a plain card and stolen data.C. People buy stolen or salvaged encoders from the Internet.D. People can create credit and debit cards to cheat financial institutions.75. What is an encoder used for according to the passage?A. Identifying account numbers from a credit card.B. Creating magnetic tape on cassette tapes.C. Stealing data from a retailer or payment processor’s database.D. Writing information onto magnetic stripes on the back of the card.76. The purpose of this article is probably to ________.A. tell people how to make a fortune.B. explain how a credit card is used when buying things.C. warn people not to use credit card to pay for anything.D. expose a fraud that is often used these days.77. What is likely to be talked about in the next paragraph?A. Some other way to withdraw money at an ATM.B. Where to buy card readers and card encoders.C. How to protect yourself against the “white card” fraud.D. The disadvantages of using credit card on the Internet.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Sugar is blamed for fuelling the nations’obesity crisi s. Yet many of us don’t realize just how quickly our intake creeps up and the crucial link it has to health.There is nothing inherently (固有地) unhealthy about sugar so we shouldn’t be afraid of it or try to eliminate it from our diets completely. It doesn’t directly cause heart disease or diabetes (糖尿病) so there’s nothing wrong with the occasional sweet treat. The problem arise because most of us are eating far too much.There are different types of sugar and it’s found in all sorts of everyday foods. It occurs naturally in fruit and is added by manufacturers to make snacks such as cakes and biscuits. All types of sugar, whether found in cakes or fruit, will push up your intake of calories. If you don’t burn them off through exercise you are likely to get fa t. That’s where the real health problems begin, including increase risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers.With sugar found naturally in fruit there is a balance. This sugar can play a role in making us overweight but fruit is also bursting with other sources of goodness. The added sugar found in snacks and sweets doesn’t contain many nutrients so we areencouraged to get our sugar allowance from fruit instead.Tom Sanders, professor of dietetics and nutrition at King’s College London，says: “we ad vise people to eat up to three portions of fruit a day but only have confectionery occasionally, because sweet snacks also tend to be high in fat.” Sugar is a type of carbohydrate and Professor Sanders adds: “Sugar is empty calories. Generally it is better to get most of your carbohydrates intake from starchy foods such as bread, rice, potatoes and pasta because they also contain useful amounts of other nutrients such as proteins and vitamins.” It is recommended that no more than 11% of our total daily calories intake should come from sugars. Professor Sander says: “This translates into 60g of sugar”There is no evidence that sugar is addictive, adds the professor, but it is habit forming. “We have special taste receptors for sugars on our tongue,”he explains. “Sweet tastes give us pleasure, unlike bitter and acidic flavors.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS.)78. The health problems caused by sugar, such as increased risk of heart disease, comefrom________________________________.79. What kind of balance does fruit contain?80. Though a type of carbohydrate, sugar doesn’t contain nutrients like___________.81. Why is sugar habit forming?第Ⅱ卷 (共47分)I.
