The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Good morning, everyone, I am Professor Smith, and I am your laboratory instructor. This class is intended as a necessary part of the course, which Dr. James will be in charge of. This class will meet twice a week in this laboratory. It begins at nine. I expect you to be on time. I do not intend to wait for latecomers or repeat what has already been covered if you miss the explanation. Do not arrive late and interrupt your neighbor; you may as well not come if you can’t be on time.Attendance is equally important. If you miss three lab classes, your name will be moved away from the class list I’m afraid, no excuses. You can’t complete t he course without completing lab class.Safety is key here. It is very important to keep things neat and clean, dress properly, and be careful. You may not eat, drink or smoke in the laboratory and you should always clean the table top and wash your hands before and after the class. Long hair must be tied up. Large clothing must not be worn. And, finally, any laboratory accident must be reported immediately.I hope you’ll enjoy the laboratory. It’s a wonderful place but all these instructions are to be strictly followed. We will begin today by learning about the microphone.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:11.W ho is the speaker?12.W hat will happen if a student misses three classes?13.W hat should be done if long hair is worn?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.The idea of the weekend is a recent invention. In the 1870s wealthy people began to speak of spending weekends in the country visiting friends. For most people, however, the workday was six days long. It ended at about noon or later on Saturday.Automobile maker Henry Ford was the first major employer in the United States to establish a workweek of five days. He did that in 1926. Henry Ford thought that if the working people had more free time they would spend more money and it was something good for the economy.By 1940 it had become common for most Americans to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Today the lives of most Americans are organized that way: 5 days of work or school followed by 2 days of rest. For many people Saturday night is the highpoint of the weekend and the week. It is the night for going out or having fun.Anything and everything can happen on Saturday night. People go dancing, visiting friends and having parties. They drink too much alcohol. They get killed or kill other people. They sleep, watch television, and sometimes fall in love. People do these things on other nights of the week too, but they do them more often and with more emotion and purpose on Saturday night.On Saturday night movie theatres sell more tickets. It is also the biggest night for places that sellalcoholic drinks. That is one reason why Saturday night sees most murders, fights and deadly car accidents. (Now listen again, please.)Questions:14.When did people begin to have the idea of the weekend?15.Why did Henry Ford establish a workweek of five days?16.Why do murders, fights and car accidents occur mostly on Saturday nights?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.M: Hey Joy, I forgot to register for the courses. I’m one day late, and most of the classes are full. You know, everybody is supposed to register at least one selective course every school term to graduate. What do you think I should do?W: Poor you, Jack! You can’t do anything about that. I’m really sorry for you.M: Well, Do you think going to the registration office will help now?W: No, they will tell you the same thing, perhaps in a worse way.M: By the way, did you register yet?W: Of course, I’ve registered three courses yesterday. And it wasn’t easy for me to register for International Trade. It’s so popular these days.M: What classes do you think are still open today?W: Maybe Modern History, and Chemistry. It was said these two courses were not that popular last year. M: Good information. I didn’t know that. Although those two courses are not my favourites, it’s really a helpful suggestion.W: Anyway, that could be a choice.M: OK, I know what to do. Oh, well... What do you think about mathematics? I want to take that class this school term.W: That will be good, too. I took that class last year. Professor Anderson is really cool! If you go to his office, you can have him write a card that will let you in, even if the class is full.M: He does that? Great! I’ll go and try my luck.W: I guess that’s because some people drop out of his class.M: That makes sense. I think I’ll do that.W: And I think you can also directly go and ask some other teachers whose classes you like better instead of the registration office.M: Yes, why not. Thanks for all the help.W: You’re welcome.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:17. What does this conversation mainly talk about?18. What course did the woman choose according to the conversation?19. What do you think will the man do in order to take mathematics?20. What must a student do in order to graduate according to the conversation?参考答案听力部分:1-5 D B A C D 6-10 C B A C A11-13 C B B 14-16 A D A17-20 C D C A语法:21.are treated 22. whose 23. others 24. because (since, as) 25. that26. whether (if) 27. extended 28. telling 29. to fix 30.

Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and a question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.Text 1W: You waited at the newly opened restaurant yesterday, didn’t you? Was there much of a wait to be seated?M: I wish I had brought a book or something to occupy my time.Question: What does the man mean about the newly opened restaurant?Text 2W: Don’t you have your apartment key?M: No, but it’s a good thing I leave a spare with my neighbor so I can get in and get my books. Question: What will the man most probably do next?Text 3M: I don’t think we have enough information for our financial plan, but it’s due tomorrow.W: So we will just have to make do with what we have got.Question: What does the woman suggest they do?Text 4W: You’ve taken one of Dr. Parker’s tests, haven’t you? I hear they’re impossible to pass.M: I don’t know who you’ve been talking to. My experience was just the opposite.Question: What does the man imply?Text 5M: I’m really happy I got that athletic scholarship, but I wish my parents would stop showing off.W: If you ask me, I think you deserve a little bit of recognition.Question: What does the woman mean?Text 6M: What sort of grade did you get on your research paper? I know how hard you worked on it.W: But the professor said that I made too many broad claims that weren’t supported enough. Question: What does the woman mean about her research paper?Text 7M: Mary, do you think the dish needs any more salt before I serve it?W: It’s really quite nice. Why take a chance of ruining it?Question: What does the woman advise the man to do?Text 8M: Would you mind asking Julia to give me a call? I was hoping she’d be able to help out with course registration next week.W: Sure, if I see her. She’s made herself pretty scarce lately.Question: What does the woman mean?Text 9M: I just got this car, and already it’s falling apart. First, one of the door handles fell off, and now the inside light won’t go on.W: Hey, what’s the big deal? Falling apart is when your car needs a new engine like mine does. Question: What does the woman mean about the man’s car?Text 10W: I am thinking about spending my spring breaks skiing at central mountains. You were there last year. How was it?M: To be completely honest? That left a lot to be desired.Question: What does the man imply?Section BDirections: In Section B, you will hear two passages and one longer conversation. After each passage or conversation, you will be asked several questions. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Old people used to say it’s not what you want in this world, but what you get. Psychology teaches that you do get what you want. If you know what you want and want the right things, you can make a mentalblueprint (蓝图) of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house. For example, if we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list. And such planning is essential for any type of meal to be served. Likewise (同样地), if you want to find a job, write a brief account of yourself. In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services. This account of yourself is actually a picture of your working life and should include education, experience and references. It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews. When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something concrete to sell, then you are ready to hunt for a job.Now, listen again.11. What do the old mean when they say it’s not what you want in this world, but what you get?12. What is the point of making a mental blueprint of a desire?13. According to the passage, why must one write in account of himself before starting to find a job? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Once a business has successfully introduced a new process. The parent organization (母体组织) naturally wants to repeat that success. The goal then is to use existing knowledge. It’s less attractive, but it actually happens more often. However, getting things right the second time is not necessarily any simpler than it was the first time. It seems that most large industries are trying to repeat their previous successes, but most of the attempts fail.So why do so few managers get things right the second time? Let’s consider one reason for failure. Placing too much trust in the people who are running the successful operation. Managers who want to apply existing knowledge typically start off by going to an expert. This approach can be used if you want to gain a rough understanding of a particular system or understand smaller isolated problems. The trouble is even the expert doesn’t fully grasp the whole thing. When it comes to complex systems, the expert never has complete access to all the necessary information. And the situation is complicated even further by the fact that experts are usually not aware of their own ignorance. For instance, some details may be difficult to describe, learned on the job and well known by workers, perhaps, but impossible to describe in a way that’s helpful. And there are some things that people know or do that they’re not even aware of. Now, listen again.14. According to the speaker, how do attempts to copy existing processes usually end up?15. What does the speaker say about asking experts for advice?16. Which of the following is a problem with experts?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: Welcome. We’re delighted you’re coming to work with us, Justin. Your first job here will be an assistant journalist. Do you have any questions?M: Can I go out on a story immediately?W: That’s admirable, but I’m afraid it would be unusual. Wait till you’re more experienced. First, we’ll put you as an assistant to an experienced journalist. Later, you can cover a story and present the article yourself.M: Wonderful. What do I need to take with me? I already have a notebook and a camera.W: No need for a camera. You’ll have a professional photographer with you. You may be able to concentrate on photography later if you’re interested.M: What do I need to remember? When I go out to cover a story?W: You need to be curious only if you ask many different questions. Will you acquire all the information you need to know? We say a good journalist must have a good nose for a story. That means you must be able to assess when people are not telling the whole truth and then try to discover it. They must useresearch to inform themselves of the missing parts of the story.M: What should I keep in mind?W: Here comes my list of dos and don’ts. Don’t miss your deadline. Don’t be rude. Don’t talk too much, but make sure you listen to the interviewee carefully.M: Why is listening so important?W: Well, you have to listen for detailed facts. Meanwhile, you have to prepare the next question, depending on what the person says.M: But how can I listen carefully while taking notes?W: This is a trick of the trade. If the interviewee agrees, you can use a recorder to get the facts straight. It’s also useful if a person wants to challenge you, you have the evidence to support your story.M: I see. I am looking forward to my first assignment now.Now listen again.17. What job is Justin trying to take up?18. What does a good nose mean for journalists?19. What will happen if journalists don’t listen carefully?20. Why are facts so critical to professional journalists?That’s the end of listening comprehension.听力试运转到此结束。

In a world where __31__ is given for people’s accomplishments, failing feels dangerous. The fear of failure can stop peo ple taking risks that might lead to success.Heidi Grant Halvorson, a psychologist, points out much of success is __32__ not on talent but on learning from your mistakes.About half of the people in the world hold that ability in an area --- be it creative or social skill --- is natural. The other half believes, instead, that someone might have a preference or something --- say painting or speaking foreign languages --- but this ability can be improved through __33__ practice or training.It’s almost impo ssible to think rationally(理性地) while shouting at yourself, “I’m a failure”. But when you __34__ your thinking, you will probably see what you can control --- your behavior, your planning, your reactions --- and change them.The primary __35__ between successful people and unsuccessful people is that the successful people fail more. If you see failure as a monster approaching you, take another look.Success is as scary as failure. Researchers report that satisfaction grows on challenges. Think about it --- a computer game you can always win is boring; one you can win __36__, and with considerable effort, is fun. In pursuit of success, failure exposes areas that you need to __37__. So the failure serves as a brick wall to test how you apply yourself to __38__ your objectives and how much you want them.There is a way to distinguish whether a failure __39__ you to double down or walk away, says Halvorson. If, when things get rough, you remain fascinated by your goal, you should keep going. If what you’re doing is costing you too much time and energy or it’s not bringing you joy, you should give a secondthought to the __40__ of your goal and even set a new one.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.This article is for all of the teenagers out there. Even though __41__ you are years from being fully grown, society regularly expects you to adult. Yes, you are __42__ in many ways: many of you drive and do so quite safely, and you handle schedules that would __43__ many adults. But you probably cannot process caffeine (咖啡因) as constantly as your parents can because of your still-growing bodies and brains.I understand it feels grown-up to be drinking a cup of Starbucks. But all of this caffeine may worsen your anxiety, affect tonight’s sleep and tomorrow’s school perfo rmance, __44__ nutrient absorption and even cause real trouble when mixed with alcohol. The following four aspects may well __45__ the theme of this article.The power of caffeineCaffeine is widely considered a drug that is socially acceptable, universally used, even cool, but it still causes __46__ symptoms such as headaches, fatigue and a lack of attention when removed from coffee-addicts’ diets.How much is healthy?Caffeine is by no means a nutrient; you do not need it to be healthy. __47__, it is a substance that can leave you lacking nutrients because it has been shown to reduce calcium (钙). Caffeine probably causes the body to release water. And the more caffeinated drinks you consume, the less likely you are to drink water. So experts say that adolescents should consume __48__ amounts of caffeine a day (≤100 mg). Caffeine’s __49__According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 65 percent of middle and higher schoolers are __50__ to insufficient sleep on school nights. Some of their sleep problems can be mainly attributed to (归因于) caffeine, which can remain in the body for seven hours after __51__, thus causing teens’ worse performance the next day. It is widely assumed that adequate sleep __52__ proper growth and brain development. During childhood and adolescence, the brain goes through a period called synaptic pruning (突触修剪) when unnecessary connections are promoted.Caffeine labellingCaffeine is not listed on the Nutrition Facts column on food labels because it is not a __53__. It may be listed as an ingredient, but the amount is not required. Caffeine is now added to foods such as gum, candy and water, along with makeup and beauty products that __54__ to reduce swelling (肿块).Taste preferences and eating habits are often cultivated in childhood and adolescence, so teens, when you consume sweet, caffeinated drinks every time you feel sluggish(无精打采的), you are creating a pattern that may be hard to break as an adult. It is advisable to come up with other __55__ ways to boost energy so that you can master adulting better than many adults.41. A. potentially B. necessarily C. developmentally D. materially42.

A. fail B. appear C. promise D. happen55. A. instructive B. comprehensive C. extensive D. alternativeSection 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)There aren’t many actors around the world who have enough self confidence toturn down an offer from Steven Spielberg. Maybe that was why Juliette Binochegave him a choice. She said she’d be happy to be in Jurassic Park as long as shecould play a dinosaur. Of course he turned her down and it was probably a goodthing. It’s difficult to imagine Juliette ripping people apart with her teeth. However,her decision doesn’t seem to have d one her career any harm. She has gone on tomake a string of hits, including The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The EnglishPatient (for which she won an Oscar) and Chocolat.Success in the United States has not been so easy for other foreignstars. Gerald Depardieu is a good example. Since his first film in 1967,his filmography(影片集锦) lists 172 acting credits. But he hasstruggled on the other side of the pond. While some of his films havebeen popular in the US, they have usually been French films thattravelled. One possible exception was Green Card, directed by PeterWeir, where he plays a French immigrant who goes through a fakewedding in order to stay and work in the United States. This is apredictable but sweet romantic comedy which typecasts (分配同一类型角色) its lead actors in terms of national stereotypes. While somereviewers were kind, others shredded both the film and Depardieu’sperformance.While Monsieur Depardieu hasn’t received the recognition he would have liked in the United States, one Mexican actor has achieved almost instant success. Gael Garcia Bernal first gained recognition in Amores Perros in 2000 and a year later in Y tu mama tambien. Since then he has appeared with hometown hero, Brad Pitt in Babel and, under the direction of top producer and director, Jim Jarmusch, he starred in Limits of Control. He hasn’t picked up an Oscar yet, but he was nominated for a BAFTA (英国电影电视艺术学院奖) in 2005 for his performance as the South American hero revolutionary Che Guevara, in Motorcycle Diaries. In the same year he played American music icon Elvis Presley in The King.56.It can be inferred from the passage that Juliette Binoche ______.A. very much wanted to be in Jurassic ParkB. didn’t want to be in Jurassic ParkC. really wanted to play a dinosaur in Jurassic ParkD. was hesitant whether she could play a dinosaur well57.Accord ing to the writer, Gerald Depardieu’s most popular films ______.A. have been made in HollywoodB. have only been seen in EuropeC. have been made in France, but seen in other countries, tooD. have been made in Hollywood, but well received in France58. The last sentence in Para 2 “o thers shredded both the film and Depardieu’s performance” means othersthought Depardieu’s performance and the film were ______.A. complexB. interestingC. terribleD. impressive59. The writer’s purpose in writing this article is to suggest that ______.A. Foreign actors generally do well in the United StatesB. American actors are able to earn more money than foreign actorsC. Foreign actors are playing an irreplaceable role in the United StatesD. a su ccessful career in Europe or Latin America doesn’t guarantee success in the USA(B)You are going to read three competitions which offer holidays as prizes.Competition OneCompetition TwoCompetition Three60.Which competition extract(s) describe(s) what will happen on the flight?A. Competition One.B. Competition Two.C. Competition Three.D. Competition One and Two.61.Which holiday prize(s) will offer you the chance to stay longer than a week?A. Competition One.B.

Competition Two.C. Competition One and Three.D. Competition One and Two.(C)The purpose of a map is to express graphically the relations of points and features on the earth’s surface to each other. These are determined by distance and direction. In early times distance was often expressed in units of time, for example “so many hours’ march” or “a day’s journey by river”, but such measurements gave more information about the relative ease of crossing the local terrain than they did about actual distance. The other element is direction, but for the ordinary traveller, whose main concern was “Where do I go from here?” and “How far away is it?”, the accurate representation of direction was not of primary importance. Partly for this reason, written itineraries (行程) for a long time rivaled maps. Even today, certain types of maps, for example, those showing railway systems, may make little attempt to show true directions. Similarly, obvious landmarks along a route were at first indicated by signs, realistic or conventional (惯常的), and varied in size to indicate their importance. Clearly the conventions employed varied with the purpose of the map, and also from place to place, so that in studying early maps the first essential is to understand the particular convention employed.The history of cartography(制图) is largely that of the increase in the accuracy with which these elements of distance and direction are determined and in the comprehensiveness of the map content. In this development, cartography has called in other sciences to its aid. For example, instead of determining direction by observing the position of a shadow at midday, or of a constellation (星座) in the night sky, or even of a steady wind, use was made of terrestrial magnetism (地磁学) through the magnetic compass, and instruments were evolved which enabled horizontal angles to be calculated with great accuracy.The application of astronomical concepts, and the extension of the knowledge of the world through exploration, encouraged attempts to map the known world. Then astronomers discovered that the earth is not a perfect sphere, but is flattened slightly at the poles, which introduced further refinements into the mapping of large areas. Meanwhile, the demands being made of the map maker were shifting significantly. The traveller or the merchant ceased to be the sole user of maps. The soldier, especially after the introduction of artillery, and the problems of range, field of fire, and dead ground which it raised, demanded an accurate representation of the surface features, in place of the earlier conventional or pictorial delineation (描绘), and a solution in any degree satisfactory was not reached until the contour (等高线) was invented.63.Why might early maps have been misleading?A. Distances could not be calculated reliably.B. They were based on written itineraries.C. They were drawn by ordinary travelers.D. Distances tended to be overestimated.64.What problem did early maps exhibit when showing landmarks?A. The signs used bore little relation to the landmarks.B. The selection of landmarks was faulty.C. They used symbols that were not standardized.D. They sometimes included unimportant features.65.In the second paragraph, the writer says that ______ made better quality map-making easier.A. a greater understanding of climatic factorB. greater accuracy in draughtsmanship (绘图术)C. more accuracy in measurementD. more intensive map production66.What encouraged the search for a more precise means of mapping the physical geography of the landscape?A. Discovery in astronomy.B. The growth of mathematical science.C. The activities of the great explorers.D. Military considerations.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. As you walk, pay close attention to your surroundings.B. Make a plan to get off campus and explore your surroundings.C. If you’re averaging seven hours or less, commit to sleeping at least eight hours tonight.D. If you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, don’t punish yourself by pushing your mind and body totheir limits.E. A comfortable corner in the library and even an empty classroom are perfect places to relax andrecharge.F. Actually, it is possible to shorten sleep time by up to 1 hour without the risk of sleep deprivation (剥夺) if you know how to have high quality sleep.Self-Care Strategies for College StudentsMost college students don’t put self-care at the top of their to do lists. When you’re caught up in the whirlwind (旋风) of classes, extra-curricular, work, friendsh ip, and final exams, it’s easy to ignore a task that doesn’t come with a deadline (even if that task is simply “taking care of yourself”). Embrace the excitement and intensity of college life, but remember that maintaining your physical, mental, and emotional health is essential to your success and well-being. (67) ______ Instead, take time out to take care of yourself with some of these self-care strategies.Get Away for Some Alone Time. If you live with roommates, privacy can be hard to come by, so make it your mission to find a peaceful place on campus to call your own. (68) ______ Take a Mindful Walk Around Campus. When you’re strolling to class, try this mindfulness exercise to center yourself and destress. (69) ______ Feel free to people-watch, but pay attention to sensory details too, like the smell of a nearby barbecue or the sensation of pavement under your shoes. Take note of at least five beautiful or intriguing things you notice along your route. You might find yourself feeling a little calmer by the time you reach your destination.Stage a Sleep Intervention. How much sleep do you really get each night? (70) ______ By doing that, you’ll begin the process of repaying your sleep debt and establishing healthy new sleep habits. Don’t buy into the myth that the less you’re sleeping, the harder you’re working. Your mind and body need consistent sleep to operate at optimum levels –you simply can’t do your best work without it.Download a New Podcast. Take a break from the books, grab your headphones, and listen to some immersive mysteries, compelling interviews, or laugh-out-loud comedy. There are thousands of podcasts covering almost every subject imaginable, so you’re sure to find something that interests you.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Curiosity Is an Increasingly Rare VirtueMost of the breakthrough discoveries and remarkable inventions throughout history, from flints (打火石) for starting a fire to self-driving cars, have something in common: They are the result of curiosity. But the journalist Ian Leslie, in his newly-published book Curious: The Desire to Know and Why Your Future Depends on It, insists that curiosity is a much overlooked human virtue, crucial to our success, and we are losing it.Leslie presents considerable evidence for the claim that the society as a whole is growing less curious. In the U.S. and Europe, for example, the rise of the Internet, among other social and technological changes, has led to a declining consumption of news from outside the reader’s borders. Indeed, Google, for which Leslie expresses admiration, is also his frequent whipping boy (替罪羊): we seek only the information we want. But not everything is to be blamed on technology. The decline in interest in literary fiction is also one of the causes identified by Leslie.Why is this a problem? Because without curiosity we will lose the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship (企业家精神). Worse still, that lack of curiosity produces a relative lack of knowledge, and the lack of knowledge is difficult if not impossible to compensate for later on.Fortunately, some strategies can be employed to develop curiosity: If you just accept the world as it is without trying to dig deeper, you will certainly lose the ‘holy curiosity’. Of course, one effective way to dig deeper beneath the surface is asking questions: What is that? Why is it made that way? Who invented it? How does it work? ...And if you see learning as a burden, there’s no way you will want to dig deeper into anything. That will just make the burden heavier. But if you think of learning as something fun, you will naturally want to dig deeper.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72、他刚要关闭电脑,就在这时手机响了。

When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Hello, everyone. My name is Karl Roberts, and I’ll be your teacher of this course, Language and Culture.To begin with, please take a look at the teaching program in front of you. As you should all know by now, this course is given on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:00 to 4:30 in the afternoon. We will be meeting in this room for the first half of the course, but we will be using the research lab every other week on Friday in Room 405 during the last two months of the course.This is the text for this lesson. Unfortunately, the books haven’t come in yet, but I was told that you should be able to buy them at the bookstore the day after tomorrow. Again as you see on your course outline, the grade is determined by your performance in the mid-term and final exams, classroom tests, and on your research work.My office hours are from 9:00 to 12:00 on Wednesdays, and you can set up a date with me on other times as well.

Parents are always important in teaching money management, as well as the values of hard work and perseverance.It is also suggested that teens should become their own financial managers. Learning how to maintain a budget, comparing prices before buying something, or even paying a bill quickly are things that allow teens to become financially independent. Parent-child communication on financial matters must always be open. After going away to college, the student must learn to take control of his/her monetary situation and become his own accountant.Perhaps American businessman Warren Buffett said it best when he stated that, “Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing.”The nation’s economic crisis today is proof that we cannot afford to allow a generation to grow up without understanding how to look after their money.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:14. Who can help to teach children the basics of financial management according to the passage?15. What should a college student learn to do according to the passage?16. What is this passage mainly about?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.M: You should have seen the line at the housing office. It took me an hour to make my dormitory deposit for next year. Have you made yours yet?W: No, I am not sure I am going to.M: There is not much time left. The deadline is May 1st. That’s just two weeks from now. Are you short of cash?W: No, I am okay.M: You’d better hurry up if you want a dormitory next September. There aren’t enough rooms for everyone.And first-year students have priority.W: Well, I’ve been thinking of living off campus.M: Have you any idea how much that will cost? There’s the rent, public facilities, and you probably need a car to commute.W: I know it will be more expensive, but I think I can handle it, though. This dorm is just so noisy that I can’t get anything done. Maybe my grades would be better if I had some peace and quiet in a place of my own.M: You should study in the library the way I do. Think of the money you will save.W: I’ve got to think it over some more. There are still two weeks left in April.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:17.

After two hours, they still hadn’t found the watch. Tom was desperate. Then one grandson said he would look around the basement again, but the others could not follow him and should keep silent. The little boy went down to the basement and sat in total silence. Ten minutes later, he brought his grandfather’s watch to him. Tom couldn’t believe what was happening. The little grandson said he just listened carefully for the ticking sound of the watch when it was quiet in the basement.。

Firstly, the festival can start with a 30-minute discussion where groups of students can exchange and share what they (23) _________ (expose) to recently, expressing themselves freely. Following this section is the speech. Teacher and student representatives previously selected by us are to share and recommend the book they think really deserving to be read. It's needless to say that the last sharing section which is the most meaningful is donation, during (24) _________time everyone present, teachers or students, is expected to donate one or more books to the library. As for when (25) _________ (hold) the activity, the afternoon may be an ideal choice so that it won't interrupt our classes.My advice is justified by the following reasons.

So it is (27) _________the books recommended. Named by those "idols" in our mind, they will definitely win our heart. As for the donation, the benefits are exactly self-evident. (28)_________ __________can we share beyond our class or even beyond our school, developing a good campus tradition, but (29) _________ (importantly), these books which are sure to be dusted on our shelves can now be of more value.I’m looking forward to your favorable reply.

Each word can be used onlyOvercoming Obstacles: How Your Biggest Failure Can Lead to Your SuccessThere's been a lot written on the theme of failure and how essential it is to success. In a world where____31_____ is given for people's accomplishments, failing feels dangerous. The fear of failure can stop people taking disks that might lead to success.Heidi Grant Halvorson, a psychologist, points out much of success is____32_____ not on talent but on learning from your mistakes.About half of the people in the world hold that ability in an area--be it creative or social skill -- is natural. The other half believes, instead, that someone might have a preference or something--- say painting or speaking foreign languages but this ability can be improved through ____33_____practice or training.It’s almost impossible to think rationally (理性地)while shouting at yourself, “I’m a failure”. But when you _____34____your thinking, you will probably see what you can control --your behavior, your planning, your reactions --- and change them.The primary _____35____between successful people and unsuccessful people is that the successful people fail more. If you see failure as a monster approaching you, take another look.Success is as scary as failure. Researchers report that satisfaction grows on challenges. Think about it -- a computer game you can always win is boring; one you can win____36_____, and with considerable effort, is fun. In pursuit of success, failure exposes areas that you need to ____37_____.So the failure serves as a brick wall to test how you apply yourself to___38______ your objectives and how much you want them.There is a way to distinguish whether a failure_____39____ you to double down or walk away, says Halvorson. If, when things get rough, you remain fascinated by your goal, you should keep going. If what you’re doing is costing you too much time and energy or it’s not bringing you joy, you should give second thought to the _____40____ of your goal and even set a new one.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 fits the context.This article is for all of the teenagers out there. Even though_____41____you are years from being fully grown, society regularly expects you to adult. Yes, you are ___42______ in many ways: many of you drive and do so quite safely, and you handle schedules that would_____43____many adults. But you probably cannot process caffeine (咖啡因)as constantly as your parents can because of your still-growing bodies and brains.I understand it feels grown-up to be drinking a cup of Starbucks. But all of this caffeine may worsen your anxiety, affect tonight's sleep and tomorrow's school performance, ___44______nutrient absorption and even cause real trouble when mixed with alcohol. The following four aspects may well ___45______the theme of this article.The power of caffeineCaffeine is widely considered a drug that is socially acceptable, universally used, even cool, but it still causes_____46____ symptoms such as headaches, fatigue and a lack of attention when removed from coffee-addicts, diets.How much is healthy?Caffeine is by no means a nutrient: you do not need it to be healthy. ____47_____, it is a substance that can leave you lacking nutrients because it has been shown to reduce calcium (钙). Caffeine probable causes the body to release water. And the more caffeinated drinks you consume, the less likely you are to drink water. So experts say that adolescents should consume_____48____amount of caffeine a day (≤100mg).Caffeine's____49_____.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 65 percent of middle and higher schoolers are_____50____ to insufficient sleep on school nights. Some of their sleep problems can be mainly attributed to (归因于)caffeine, which can remain in the body for seven hours after _____51____, thus causing teens worse performance the next day. It is widely assumed that adequate sleep _____52____ proper growth and brain development. During childhood and adolescence, the brain goes through a period called synaptic pruning(突触修剪)when unnecessary connections are promoted.Caffeine labellingCaffeine is not listed on the Nutrition Facts column on food labels because it is not a ____53_____. It may be listed as an ingredient, but the amount is not required. Caffeine is now added to foods such as gum, candy and water, along with makeup and beauty products that ____54_____to reduce swelling (肿块).Taste preferences and eating habits are often cultivated in childhood and adolescence, so teens, when you consume sweet, caffeinated drinks every time you feel sluggish(无精打采的), you are creating a pattern that may be hard to break as an adult.

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)There aren't many actors around the world who have enough self-confidence to turn down an offer from Steven Spielberg. Maybe that was why Juliette Binoche gave him a choice. She said she'd be happy to be in Jurassic Park as long as she could play a dinosaur. Of course he turned her down and it was probably a good thing. It's difficult to imagine Juliette ripping people apart with her teeth. However, her decision doesn't seem to have done her career. She has gone on to make a string of hits including The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The English Patient (for which she won an Oscar) and Chocolat.Success in the United States has not been so easy for other foreign stars. Gerald Depardieu is a good example. Since his first film in 1967, his, filmography(影片集锦)lists 172 acting credits. But he has struggled on the other side of the pond. While some of his films have been popular in the US, they have usually been French films that travelled. One possible exception was Green Card, directed by Peter Weir, where he plays a French immigrant who goes through a fake wedding in order to stay and work in the United States. This is a predictable but sweet romantic comedy which typecasts(分配同一类型角色)its lead actors in terms of national stereotypes. While some reviewers were kind, others shredded both the film and Depardieu's performance.While Monsieur Depardieu hasn't received the recognition he would have liked in the United States, one Mexican actor has achieved almost instant success. Gael Garcia Bernal first gained recognition in Amores Perros in 2000 and a year later in Ytu mama tambien. Since then he has appeared with hometown hero. Brad Pill in Babel and, under the direction of top producer and director, Jim Jarmusch, he starred in Limits of Control. He hasn't picked up an Oscar yet, but hewas nominated for a BAFTA(英国电影电视艺术学院奖)in 2005 for his performance as the South American hero revolutionary, Che Guevara, in Motorcycle Diaries. In the same year he played American music icon Elvis Presley in The King.56.It can be inferred from the passage that Juliette Binoche_________A.very much wanted to be in Jurassic ParkB.didn't want to be in Jurassic ParkC.really wanted to play a dinosaur in Jurassic ParkD.was hesitant whether she could play a dinosaur well57.According to the writer, Gerald Depardieu's most popular films____________.A.have been made in HollywoodB.have only been seen in EuropeC.have been made in France, but seen in other countries, tooD. have been made in Hollywood, but well received in France58.The last sentence in Para 2 ''others shredded both the film and Depardieu's performance'' means others thought Depardieu's performance and the film were_________.A. complexB. interestingC. terribleD. impressive59.The writer's purpose in writing this article is to suggest that____________.A.Foreign actors generally do well in the United StatesB.American actors are able to earn more money than foreign actorsC.Foreign actors are playing an irreplaceable role in the United StatesD. a successful career in Europe or Latin America doesn't guarantee success in the USA(B)You are going to read three competitions which offer holiday as prizes.60..Which competition extract(s) describe(s) what will happen on the flight?petition OneB. Competition TwoC. Competition ThreeD. Competition One and Two61 Which holiday prize(s) will offer you the chance to stay longer than a week?petition OneB. Competition TwoC. Competition One and ThreeD. Competition One and Two62.If you want to exercise during the holiday, which competition(s)will you take part in?petition OneB. Competition TwoC. Competition One and ThreeD. Competition One and Two(C)The purpose of a map is to express graphically the relations of points and features on the earth'ssurface to each other. These are determined by distance and direction. In early time distance was often expressed in units of time, for example “so many hours “or “ a day’s journey by river”, but such measurements gave more information in the relative ease of crossing the local terrain than they did about actual distance. The other element is direction, but for the ordinary traveler, whose main concern was “Where do l go from here?” and "How far away is it ?”,the accurate representation of direction was not of primary importance. Partly for this reason, written itineraries(行程) for a long time rivaled maps. Even today, certain types of maps, for example, those showing railway systems, may make little attempt to show true directions. Similarly, obvious landmarks along a route were at first indicated by signs, realistic or conventional(惯常的),and varied in size to indicate their importance. Clearly the conventions employed varied with the purpose of the map, and also from place to place, so that in studying early maps the first essential is to understand the particular convention employed.The history of cartography (制图)is largely that of the increase in the accuracy with which these elements of distance and direction are determined and in the comprehensiveness of the map content. In this development, cartography has called in other sciences to its aid. For example, instead of determining direction by observing the position of a shadow at midday, or of a constellation(星座)in the night sky, or even of a steady wind, use was made of terrestrial (地磁学)through the magnetic compass, and instruments were evolved which enabled horizontal angles to be calculated with great accuracy.The application of astronomical concepts, and the extension of the knowledge of the world through exploration, encouraged attempts to map the known world. Then astronomers discovered that the earth is not a perfect sphere, but is flattened slightly at the poles, which introduced further refinements into the mapping of large areas. Meanwhile, the demands being made of the map maker were shifting significantly. The traveler or the merchant ceased to be the sole user of maps. The soldier, especially after the introduction of artillery, and the problems of range, field of fire, and dead ground which it raised, demanded an accurate representation of the surface features, in place of the earlier conventional or pictorial delineation(描绘)and a solution in any degree satisfactory was not reached until the contour (等高线)was invented.63.Why might early maps have been misleading?A.Distances could not be calculated reliably.B.They were based on written itineraries.C.They were drawn by ordinary travelers.D.Distances tended to be overestimated.64.What problem did early maps exhibit when showing landmarks?A.The signs used bore little relation to the landmarks.B.The selection of landmarks was faulty.C.They used symbols that were not standardized.D.They sometimes included unimportant features.65.In the second paragraph, the writer says that__________made better quality map-making easier.A. a greater understanding of climatic factorB.greater accuracy draughtsmanship(绘图术)C.more accuracy in measurementD.more intensive map production66.What encouraged the search for a more precise means of mapping the physical geography of the landscape?A Discovery in astronomy.B.The growth of mathematical science.C.The activities of the great explorers.itary considerations.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Self-Care Strategies for College StudentsMost college students don't put self-care at the top of their to do lists. When you're caught up in the whirlwind (旋风)of classes,extra-curricular, work,friendships, and final exams, it’s easy to ignore a task that doesn't come with a deadline (even if that task is simply "taking care of yourself.”). Embrace the excitement and intensity of college life, but remember that maintaining your physical, mental, and emotional health is essential to your success and well-being.(67)_________________ Instead, take time out to take care of yourself with some of these self-care strategies.Get Away for some Alone Time. If you live with roommates, privacy can be hard to come by. so make it your mission to find a peaceful place on campus to call your own. (68)______________.Take a Mindful Walk Around Campus. When you're strolling to class, try this mindfulness exercise to center yourself and destress. (69)_____________Feel free to people-watch, but pay attention to sensory details too, like the smell of a nearby barbecue or the sensation of pavement under your shoes. Take note of at least five beautiful or intriguing things you notice along your route. You might find yourself feeling a little calmer by the time you reach your destination.Stage a Sleep Intervention. How much sleep do you really get each night?(70)_________________ By doing that, you'll begin the process of repaying your sleep debt andestablishing healthy new sleep habits. Don't buy into the myth that the less you're sleeping, the harder you're working. Your mind and body need consistent sleep to operate at optimum levels-you simply can't do your best work without it.Download a New Podcast. Take a break from the books, grab your headphones, and listen to some immersive mysteries, compelling interviews, or laugh-out-loud comedy. There are thousands of podcasts covering almost every subject imaginable, so you're sure to find something that interests you.IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Curiosity Is an Increasingly Rare VirtueMost of the breakthrough discoveries and remarkable inventions throughout history, from flints (打火石)for starting a fire to self-driving cars, have something in common: They are the result of curiosity. But the journalist Ian Leslie, in his newly-published book Curious: The Desire to Know and Why You Future Depends on It, insists that curiosity is a much overlooked human virtue, crucial to our success, and we are losing it.Leslie presents considerable evidence for the claim that the society as a whole is growing less curious. In the U.S. and Europe, for example, the rise of the Internet, among other social and technological changes, has led to a declining consumption of news from outside the reader's borders. Indeed, Google, for which Leslie expresses admiration, is also his frequent whipping boy(替罪羊)we seek only the information we want. But not everything is to be blamed on technology. The decline in interest in literary fiction is also one of the causes identified by Leslie.Why is this a problem? Because without curiosity we will lose the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship(企业家精神). Worse still, that lack of curiosity produces a relative lack of knowledge, and the lack of knowledge is difficult if not impossible to compensate for later on.Fortunately, some strategies can be employed to develop curiosity: If you just accept the world as it is without trying to dig deeper, you will certainly lose the ‘holy curiosity'. Of course, one effective way to dig deeper beneath the surface is asking questions: What is that? Why is it made that way? Who invented it? How does it work?........And if you see learning as a burden, there's no way you will want to dig deeper into anything. That will just make the burden heavier. But if you think of leaning as something fun, you will naturally want to dig deeper.第II卷共40分V.

This class is intended as a necessary part of the course, which Dr. James will be in charge of. This class will meet twice a week in this laboratory. It begins at nine. I expect you to be on time. I do not intend to wait for latecomers or repeat what has already been covered if you miss the explanation. Do not arrive late and interrupt your neighbor; you may as well not come if you can’t be on time.Attendance is equally important. If you miss three lab classes, your name will be moved away from the class list I’m afraid, no excuses. You can’t complete the course without completing lab class.Safety is key here. It is very important to keep things neat and clean, dress properly, and be careful. You may not eat, drink or smoke in the laboratory and you should always clean the table top and wash your hands before and after the class. Long hair must be tied up. Large clothing must not be worn. And, finally, any laboratory accident must be reported immediately.I hope you’ll enjoy the laboratory. It’s a wonderful place but all these instructions are to b e strictly followed.

In the 1870s wealthy people began to speak of spending weekends in the country visiting friends. For most people, however, the workday was six days long. It ended at about noon or later on Saturday.Automobile maker Henry Ford was the first major employer in the United States to establish a workweek of five days. He did that in 1926. Henry Ford thought that if the working people had more free time they would spend more money and it was something good for the economy.By 1940 it had become common for most Americans to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Today the lives of most Americans are organized that way: 5 days of work or school followed by 2 days of rest. For many people Saturday night is the highpoint of the weekend and the week. It is the night for going out or having fun.Anything and everything can happen on Saturday night. People go dancing, visiting friends and having parties. They drink too much alcohol. They get killed or kill other people. They sleep, watch television, and sometimes fall in love. People do these things on other nights of the week too, but they do them more often and with more emotion and purpose on Saturday night.On Saturday night movie theatres sell more tickets. It is also the biggest night for places that sell alcoholic drinks. That is one reason why Saturday night sees most murders, fights and deadly car accidents.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:14.When did people begin to have the idea of the weekend?15.Why did Henry Ford establish a workweek of five days?16.Why do murders, fights and car accidents occur mostly on Saturday nights?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.M: Hey Joy, I forgot to register for the courses. I’m one day late, and most of the classes are full. You know, everybody is supposed to register at least one selective course every school term to graduate. What do you think I should do?W: Poor you, Jack! You can’t do anything about that. I’m re ally sorry for you.M: Well, Do you think going to the registration office will help now?W: No, they will tell you the same thing, perhaps in a worse way.M: By the way, did you register yet?W: Of course, I’ve registered three courses yesterday. And it wasn’t easy for me to register for International Trade. It’s so popular these days.M: What classes do you think are still open today?W: Maybe Modern History, and Chemistry. It was said these two courses were not that popular last year. M: Good informa tion. I didn’t know that. Although those two courses are not my favourites, it’s really a helpful suggestion.W: Anyway, that could be a choice.M: OK, I know what to do. Oh, well... What do you think about mathematics? I want to take that class this school term.W: That will be good, too. I took that class last year. Professor Anderson is really cool! If you go to his office, you can have him write a card that will let you in, even if the class is full.M: He does that? Great! I’ll go and try my luck.W: I guess that’s because some people drop out of his class.M: That makes sense. I think I’ll do that.W: And I think you can also directly go and ask some other teachers whose classes you like better instead of the registration office.M: Yes, why not. Thanks for all the help.W: You’re welcome.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:17. What does this conversation mainly talk about?18. What course did the woman choose according to the conversation?19.
