Firstly, the Belt and Road will enable China to realize sustainable development, deepen its opening-up, and strengthen its mutually beneficial cooperation with countries in Asia, Europe and Africa and the rest of the world, which will definitely promote China’s further development. Furthermore, it also gives other countries opportunities to enhance international cooperation, exchange resources and technology and set up all-dimensional networks, thus speeding up all-round prosperity worldwide.In conclusion, the Belt and Road initiative is a win-win project facilitating comprehensive development especially in the economy dimension. Only when countries concerned combine their efforts can the Belt and Road initiatives be fully fulfilled.

Oops, I must have gotten the wrong address.(Text 2)W: I’m keen on American TV series. What is your hobby, David?M: Well, I read a lot. But what I love best is to chat on the WeChat.(Text 3)M: Daisy, I think I’ll stop by and get some shampoo.W: I’d hold off, if I were you. There are some good sales on the weekend.(Text 4)W: Mr. Smith, I’m afraid I can’t make it Wednesday. Can you make it Thursday afternoon?M: I’m sorry but I have class at that hour. Can you make it Friday afternoon?W: That’s fine with me.(Text 5)M: The boss gives me too much work but very short time. I can’t make it.W: Why? I do the same work within the same time, and I have to manage my family life. But I never have any complaint. (Text 6)W: ○7Hi, where have you been all afternoon?M: My washing machine died, so I went down the block to do the laundry.W: It must have been some extremely dirty laundry to take you so long.M: No, ○6I spent quite some time looking for a washhouse.W: ○7There’s one right around the corner, didn’t you know?M: Really? I have lived here for several years and I’ve never noticed!W: Well, its owner never put up a sign outside the store; it just passes on by word of mouth.(Text 7)W: Welcome. May I help you?M: Let me see your menu. What’s the most popular dish?W: Noodles and pasta.M: Do you have anything special on the menu today?W: ○8Juicy steak, fried chicken and fresh garden salad.M: Could you recommend a light appetizer for me?W: You could order the chicken Caesar salad.M: ○9I’ll have a steak, medium. No, well done, please. And a small vegetable salad.W: OK. Wait for a moment.(Text 8)W: Can I take a look?M: Sure. It’s just a room. My mother used to live in it. She moved out. So I thought maybe I’d take in a roomer.W: That’s a very nice room. I think I will take it if the rent is OK. What’s the rent?M: ○10$300 per month including the utilities. ○10But if you pay yearly, you’ll get a 5% discount.W: That’s quite reasonable. I will take it.

What are you now doing in England?W: I’m spending a few months brushing up my English and getting to know the country better.M: ○14And you want to work in England too. Why?W: ○14I’m keen on getting some experience abroad, and I like England and English people.M: I’m the Restaurant Manager and Head Waiter, so you’d be working directly under me. ○15You’d be responsible for bringing in the dishes from the kitchen, serving the drinks, and if necessary looking after the bills. So you’d be kept pretty busy. W: I’m used to that. In my last position we were busy most of the time, especially in summer.M: Good. Now, is there anything you’d like to ask about the job?W: Well, the usual question—what sort of salary were you thinking of paying?M: We pay our waiters forty pounds a week, and you would get your evening meal free.W: I see.M: Now, you may have wondered why I asked you here so late in the day. The fact is, I would like to see you in action, so to speak. ○16Would you be willing to act as waitress here this evening for half an hour or so? Our first customers will be coming in, let me see, in about ten minutes’ time.W: Well, I’m free this evening otherwise.(Text 10)W: I shall never forget the day when I first set foot in London. ○17I had come from a quiet little town in Switzerland and I had never before lived in a big city, so London was a new world to me and I was dying to find out more about it myself.The general opinion abroad is that London has fog or rain, or both, every day of the year, but ○18on the day that I arrived it was fine and warm, there was a bright sun and a cloudless sky. The next day was just as beautiful; there was a slight wind that gently moved the leaves on the trees, and ○20you could smell the spring in the air. “Life is grand,”I thought, as I took Anthony, the little boy of the house, for a walk in Kensington Gardens. It was a straight road and I found the way quite easily. ○19When I got my first sight of the gardens the beauty of it all nearly took my breath away. ○20The trees were just bursting into leaf, fresh and green and lovely, and there were beds of spring flowers, red and yellow and blue, in the beautiful, smooth grass under the trees.○20People in light spring clothes were walking about, and, to my surprise, they walked not only along the paths but also across the grass, and no one said a word to them about it. I had never seen anything like that before.。

In light of the increasing presence and importance of computers in classrooms, people can’t help wondering whether computers can substitute teachers in the near future.Classroom computer technology is being used for different types of communication—presentation, interaction, and collaboration. Students are required to be readers and writers, editors and publishers and they are expected to collaborate with others, working closely together to learn even more in this process.However, it is impossible for computers to replace teachers in classrooms. For one thing, instead of being the source of knowledge, high-quality teachers guide their students to process, analyze and apply what they have learned across academic subjects and into the real world. For another, a teacher is there to monitor every slight change in students’ attitude, to respond to and encourage them whenever they show signs of frustr ation or impatience. Those human aspects are not going to be replaced by machines at any time. (165词)(Thus, I am confident that computers are to replace real teachers in classrooms. For one thing, the model of classroom instruction from the late 1800s just wasn’t designed to meet 21st-century expectations. For another, computer technology especially booming AI in every respect of life requires education to be put on the right track. Otherwise, students produced from the old factory must be washed away by the modern innovative tide. )【听力原文】Text 1 M: Excuse me. Where would I find medicine for dogs? W: We have some on aisle five. If you need a wider selection, however, I would suggest goingto see an animal doctor.Text 2 W: What is that sound? I can hear something coming from the back of the car. Can you hearit? M: Yeah, I can. Pull over by this gas station up ahead. I think I know what the problem is. Ineed new tires, anyway.Text 3 W: Do you think he could help me change the water in the fish tank this week? M: I don’t know. He’s pretty busy. Text 4W: Excuse me. Can I have change for a dollar, please? M: Sorry, but I can only give you change if you buy something. W: But I only have a dollar on me, and all I need is four quarters. M: Sorry, but I don’t make the rules. Text 5 M: I am looking for someone who has taken care of elderly people before. Do you have anyexperience? W: I’m sorry. My experience is with small children. I’m afraid I will not be suitable for thejob. Text 6 M: Hi, what can I do for you? W: I’d like to send this package to France. Can it be delivered in the next five days? M: Yes. We offer an overnight service. It’ll cost 70 dollars. W: Ah, that’s a bit expensive. Do you have a three-day service? M: No, but we can get your package to France in one week for 40 dollars. W: Well, that sounds good. I’ll take that. Is the service guaranteed? M: Yes. We also offer a service where we can track your package. But that will cost 10 dollarsextra.

M: I am sorry to hear that. What seems to be the trouble? W: My head has been hurting a lot lately. I never used to feel like this. M: When does it hurt the most? W: Usually, I feel fine. It only hurts when I am in class. My head starts hurting when I try tocopy notes from the board. I tried sitting near the back of the room, but it doesn’t help. Infact, it gets worse! M: Well, it sounds like you might need glasses. You should get your eyes checked. It shouldnot take too long. W: Thank you, doctor. I appreciate your help. Text 8 W: OK, that’s a cut! Let’s start from the beginning, everyone. M: What was the problem that time? W: The feeling was all wrong, Mike. She is telling you that she doesn’t want to see youanymore, but I want to get more anger from you. You’re acting hurt and sad, but that’s nothow your character would act in this situation. M: But Jason and Laura have been toge ther for three years. Don’t you think his reactionwould be one of both anger and sadness? W: At this point, no. I think he would react the way most guys would, and then later on, wewould see his real feelings.M: I’m not so sure about that. W: Let’s try it my way, and you can see how you feel when you’re saying your lines. Afterthat, if it still doesn’t feel right, we can try something else. Text 9 W: Hi, there! Did you have any questions about our bikes? M: Yeah. Do you work on bicycles in addition to selling them? W: Oh, yes, we can handle any repairs you may need. M: That’s great, but what I need is not exactly a repair. My cousin gave me a road bike, butI’m not tall enough to ride it. Can you put smaller wheels on it? W: We could do that, but I wouldn’t recommend it, because you would have to use your legsmore to go the same distance. You’d be better off buying a bike that’s the right size foryou.M: I was afraid you’d say that. You see, my cousin’s bike is a very expensive model. It’s areally nice bike. W: Have you considered trading the bike in? We do buy and sell used bikes, and I can giveyou a fair price for any trade-in.M: Really? That would be great! How much can you give me for the bike? W: If it’s in good shape, probably at least 50% of its origin al value. M: Terrific! If you’re here tomorrow, I’ll bring it in then. W: OK. Text 10 Welcome to the Lego Toy Factory.

Then the plastic ismelted at 200 degrees. Next, we cool them and shape them into different sizes. This processtakes about 10 seconds. We make about 200 million pieces every hour and 15 billion per year. This is Roger, the creative mind behind all our Lego sets and creations. He is one of only tenpeople that work at the factory every day. This includes those who repair the machines andour cleaning staff. The only other people here are the thousands of little yellow men andwoman we make every hour. Amazing, isn’t it?。

The bridge is unique for still having shops built along it, as was common in the days of the Medici. Butchers originally occupied souvenir sellers. It is said that the economic concept of bankruptcy originated here: when a merchant could not pay his debts, the table on which he sold his goods was physically broken by soldiers, and this practice was called “bancorotto (broken table)”．Golden Gate BridgeThe Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the strait between San Francisco and Marin County to the north. It is the masterwork of architect Joseph B. Strauss, whose statue graces the southern observation deck. The bridge took seven years to build, and was completed in 1937. The Golden Gate Bridge used to be the longest suspension bridge span in the world. And today it has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in San Francisco and California. Since its completion, the span length has been surpassed by eight other bridges. The famous red－orange color of the bridge was specifically chosen to make the bridge more easily visible through the thick frog that frequently covers the bridge.Millau BridgeStarted in 1998 and opened to traffic in 2005, the Millau Viaduct is a huge cable－stayed road－bridge that spans the valley of the river Tarn near Millau in southern France. It is the tallest highway bridge in the world, with the highest pylon's summit at 343 meters—slightly taller than the Eiffel Tower. The speed limit on the bridge was reduced from 130 km/h to 110 km/h because of traffic slowing down, due to tourists taking pictures of the bridge from the vehicles. Shortly after the bridge opened to traffic, passengers were stopping to admire the landscape and the bridge itself.Charles BridgeThe Charles Bridge is a famous stone Gothic bridge that crosses the Vltava River in Prague, Czech Republic. Its construction started in 1357 under the support of King Charles IV, and finished in the beginning of the 15th century. As the only means of crossing the river Vltava, theCharles Bridge was the most important connection between the Old Town and the area around Prague Castle. Connection made Prague important as a trade route between Eastern and Western Europe. Today it is one of the most visited sights in Prague with painters, owners of kiosks and other traders alongside numerous tourists crossing the bridge.()51. Of the four bridges, which one has the shortest history?A. Ponte Vecchio.B. Golden Gate Bridge.C. Millau Bridge.D. Charles Bridge.()52. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the Golden Gate Bridge?A. The span length ranks the 8th in the world.B. Its color enables travelers to see it easily on foggy days.C. It is the most popular tourist attraction in America.D. It took Joseph B. Strauss 7 years to design the bridge.()53. The Charles Bridge played an important role in Prague, Czech Republic because ________．A. it attracted many famous painters thereB. it was supported by Kin Charles IVC. it was the only stone Gothic bridge crossing the Vltava RiverD. it promoted the trade between Eastern and Western EuropeBTELECOMMUTERS fall into two camps. Some sit on the sofa watching daytime soaps, pausing occasionally to check their BlackBerrys. Most, however, do real work, undistracted by meetings and talkative colleagues.In the future more people will work from home. With office space in London and New York so costly, many firms save money by encouraging staff to work in their loose clothes. Instead of having to bury their noses in strangers' armpits on crowded trains, they can work via e－mail, Skype and virtual private networks.Yet, in a research published in MIT Sloan Management Review, Daniel Cable of the London Business School shows that telecommuters are less likely to be promoted. In one experiment subjects were asked to judge scenarios in which the only difference was whether the employee was at his office desk or at home. Managers rated those at the office to be more dependable and industrious, regardless of the quality of their work.Visibility creates the illusion of value. Being the last to leave the office impresses bosses, even if you are actually larking around(胡闹) on Facebook. Oddly, this holds true at firms that explicitly encourage staff to work from home. Many Californian tech firms asked employees not to come to the office too often; yet bosses unconsciously punished those who obeyed.Remote workers understand this. Many frequently sent their bosses with progress reports to prove they are on the job. A fifth of the workers in the study admitted to leaving an e－mail or voice mail early or late in the day. Still, many are not as smart as they think. Some choose a Monday or Friday to work at home. That, says Mr. Cable, makes others think they are eager to extend the weekend.A culture of presenteeism hurts working mothers most. Many women (and some men) work from home to allow themselves the flexibility to pick up kids from school. That need not mean they produce less; only that they do it at a time and a place of their own choosing. Some firms, such as Best Buy, an electronics retailer, recognize this and try hard to evaluate staff entirely on performance. But this is not easy. Intangibles such as teamworking skills matter, too. Mr. Cable thinks homeworking will lose its stigma(污名) only when most people do it. Or perhaps when the boss is telecommuting, too.()54. What is most likely the main cause of the increasing number of telecommuters?A. Increasing location rents.B. Annoying talkative colleagues.C. High－tech mobile phones.D. Attractive daytime soaps.()55. What does the example of many California tech firms prove?A. Working at home is impractical in tech firms.B. Employees' presence at office raises their value.C. Employees should judge when to obey.D. Bosses often don't keep their promises.()56. What do wise telecommuters do to prove they are on the job?A. They give timely accounts of their work progress to their bosses.B. They check their e－mails and voice mails every day.C. They discuss the work with their bosses.D. They spend some time working on weekends.()57. What is the biggest disadvantage of working at home according to the lastparagraph?A. The traditional working culture can be hurt.B. Mothers' work may be interrupted by their kids.C. Retailers can't get enough on－site employees.D. Employees may lack chances to develop certain skills.CAlzheimer's disease has no cure. There are, however, five drugs—known and approved—that can slow down the development of its symptoms. The earlier such drugs are administered, the better. Unfortunately, the disease is usually first noticed when people complain to their doctors of memory problems. That is normally too late for the drugs to do much good. A simple and reliable test for Alzheimer's that can be administered to everybody over the age of about 65, before memory－loss sets in, would therefore be useful.Theo Luider, of the Erasmus University Medical Centre in Rotterdam, and his colleagues think they have found one—but it works only in women. They made their discovery, just reported in the Journal of Proteome Research, by tapping into a long－term, continuing study that started in 1995 with 1，077 non－demented and otherwise healthy people aged between 60 and 90. At the beginning of the project, and subsequently during the periods 1997－99 and 2002－04, participants were brought in for a battery of neurological(神经学的) and cognitive(认知的) investigations, physical examinations, brain imaging and blood tests.During the first ten years of the study, 43 of the volunteers developed Alzheimer's diseases. When Dr. Luider compared blood samples from these people with samples from 43 of their fellow volunteers, matched for sex and age, who had remained Alzheimer's－free, he found something surprising. Levels of a substance called pregnancy zone protein had been unusually high, even before their symptoms appeared, in some of those who went on to develop Alzheimer's disease.Those “some”，it turned out, were all women. On average, levels of pregnancy zone protein in those women who went on to develop Alzheimer's were almost 60% higher than those of women who did not. In men, levels of the protein were the same for both.The reason for this curious result seems to be that the brain plaques(斑块) associated with Alzheimer's disease are themselves turning out pregnancy zone protein. Certainly, when Dr. Luider applied a chemical stain specific to that protein to the plaques of dead Alzheimer's patientshe found the protein present in them.Confusingly, though, it was there in the plaques of both sexes. Presumably, female cells (and therefore the plaques of female brains) make more of it than male cells do. But that remains to be proved. Whatever the reason, however, this result means that women, at least, may soon be able to tell whether and when they are at risk of Alzheimer's and thus do something about it before they start losing their minds.()58. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. No medication can slow down the development of Alzheimer's symptoms.B. To detect Alzheimer's disease before memory loss appears is vital.C. Doctors had better handle Alzheimer's disease when people are 65 years old.D. People who always complain are most likely to have Alzheimer's disease.()59. The underlined word “one” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________．A. a simple and reliable test for Alizheimer'sB. a possible cure for Alzheimer'sC. an important discovery about Alzheimer'sD. an effective and legal drug for Alzheimer's()60. What does Dr. Luider's study tell us about the pregnancy zone protein?A. It won't go high until the symptoms of Alzheimer's appear.B. In men, levels of it remain stable for their lifetime.C. Women developing Alzheimer's usually have lower levels of it.D. The brain plaques connected with Alzheimer's produce it.()61. The passage is mainly about ________．A. patients of Alzheimer's disease and its drugsB. an introduction to the pregnancy zone proteinC. a new discovery concerning Alzheimer's diseaseD. the development stages of Alzheimer's diseaseDHe was in the first third－grade class I taught at Saint Mary's School in Morris, Minnesota. All 34 of my students were dear to me, but Mark Eklund was one in a million. Very neat in appearance, he had that happy－to－be－alive attitude that made even his occasional mischievousness delightful.Mark also talked continuously. I had to remind him again and again that talking withoutpermission was not acceptable. One morning my patience was growing thin when Mark talked once too often, and then I made a novice－teacher's mistake. I looked at Mark and said, “If you say one more word, I am going to tape your mouth shut！”It wasn't ten seconds later when Chuck blurted out, “Mark is talking again.”I hadn't asked any of the students to help me watch Mark, but since I had stated the punishment in front of the class, I had to act on it.I remember the scene as if it had occurred this morning. Without saying a word, I proceeded to Mark's desk, tore off two pieces of tape and made a big X with them over his mouth. I then returned to the front of the room.As I glanced at Mark to see how he was doing, he winked at me. That did it! I started laughing. The entire class cheered as I walked back to Mark's desk, removed the tape, and shrugged my shoulders. His first words were, “Thank you for correcting me, Sister.”At the end of the year I was asked to teach junior－high math. The years flew by, and before I knew it Mark was in my classroom again. He was more handsome than ever and just as polite.One Friday, things just didn't feel right. We had worked hard on a new concept all week, and I sensed that the students were growing discouraged with themselves—and edgy with one another.I had to change the mood of the class before it got out of hand. So I asked them to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then I told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the class period to finish the assignment.That Saturday, I wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and I listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday I gave each student his or her list. Some of them ran two pages. Before long, the entire class was smiling. “Really？” I heard whispers. “I never knew that meant anything to anyone！”“I didn't know others liked me so much！”No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. I never knew if the students discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another again.That group of students moved on. Several years later, after I returned from a vacation, I got a call from my father. “The Eklunds called last night，”he began. “Really？”I said. “I haven'theard from them for several years. I wonder how Mark is.”Dad responded quietly. “Mark was killed in Vietnam，”Mark looked so handsome, so mature. All I could think at that moment was, Mark, I would give all the masking tape in the world if only you could talk to me.After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates headed to Chuck's farmhouse for lunch. Mark's parents were there, obviously waiting for me. “Helen, we want to show you something，”his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. “They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it.”Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. I knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which I had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him. “Thank you so much for doing that，”Mark's mother said. “As you can see, Mark treasured it.”Mark's classmates started to gather around us. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, “I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home.”Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocket－book, took out her wallet and showed her worn and ragged list to the group. “I carry this with me at all times，”Vicki said without hesitation. “I think we all saved our lists.”That's when I finally sat down and cried. I cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again.()62. We can conclude that when Sister Helen was a third－grade teacher, she ________．A. was usually hot－tempered and impatientB. liked all the students in the class but MarkC. wasn't always sure how to discipline her studentsD. had a high expectation of the students in her class()63. The underlined word “edgy” in Paragraph 7 means “________”．A. very disappointedB. easily annoyedC. fully honestD. greatly inspired()64. Upon reading their lists for the first time, Sister Helen's students were ________．A. surprised and proudB. nervous and embarrassedC. depressed and angryD. calm and content()65. Mark carried the notebook paper at all times because ________．A. it was a valuable gift from his dear Sister HelenB. it could ease his homesickness when in VietnamC. it was the recognition and appreciation from his classmatesD. he promised his classmates that he would treasure it第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共40分)第四部分：词汇检测(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分)请认真阅读下列各小题，并根据上下文语境和所给首字母的提示，写出下列各句空格中的单词，注意保持语义和形式的一致.66. —Whatever b________ we are having on our shoulders, let them down for a moment, shall we?—All right.

We feel it when we either blame ourselves for things that turned out badly, or long to undo a choice we made in the past. The effect regret has on our lives and how we deal with regret are equally important.In some cases, regret can be disastrous. In 1995, a British man who regularly played one set of lottery numbers forgot to renew his ticket during the week that his numbers came up. He was so filled with regret and self－blame that he committed suicide. While this is an extreme consequence of regret, it can have many other lesser effects on the mind and body that can still seriously affect our lives.According to recent research, women have more regrets about romantic relationships than men do—not surprising, since women “value social relationships more than men”.

reason ﹣or the conventional wisdom holds so．A new study published in Science，though，suggests our capacity to reason logically may not actually depend on language，at least not fully．The findings show babies still too young to speak can reason and make reasonable deductions．The authors﹣a team from several European institutions﹣studied infants （婴儿）aged 12 and 19 months，when language learning and speech production has just begun but before complex mastery has been achieved．The children had to inspect distinct objects repeatedly﹣such as a dinosaur and a flower．The items were initially hidden behind a black wall．In one set of experiments the animation （动漫）would show a cup scooping （舀出）up the dinosaur．Half of the time，the barrier would then be removed to reveal，as expected，the remaining flower．In the rest of the instances，though，the wall would disappear and a second dinosaur would be there．The children deduced in these latter occurrences that something was not quite right，even though they were unable to express in words what was wrong．Eye﹣tracking﹣a commonly used technique to judge mental abilities in preverbal （语前的）children and apes﹣showed infants stared significantly longer at scenes where the unexpected object appeared behind the barrier，suggesting they were confused by the reveal．"Our results indicate that the acquisition of logical vocabulary might not be the source of the most fundamental logical building blocks in the mind，" says lead study author Nicoló Cesana﹣Arlotti．A major component of human logic，henotes，relates to thinking about alternative possibilities and eliminating inconsistent ones：Does the dinosaur sit behind the barrier or does the flower？In a formal logic this is called a disjunctive syllogism （析取三段论）：A or B；not if A，therefore B．Cesana﹣Arlotti acknowledges his findings do not deny the importance of language and symbolic communication to human brain development，and to our evolutionary backstory．Yet the new research suggests that perhaps it is not entirely necessary to shape the brain's logical reasoning capacities．He plans further work studying how logic before the development of language might still differ from reasoning abilities that appear once language comes along，as language may open additional reasoning abilities unavailable to the speechless brain．"To our knowledge，nobody has ever directly documented logical reasoning in 12﹣month﹣old infants before，" he adds．（1）We can learn from the new study published in Science that．A．the ability to reason logically is unique to humansB．babies are too young to make reasonable deductionsC．language is not a requirement for some basic reasoningD．the new findings correspond with the conventional ideas（2）The researchers draw the conclusion from the fact that．A．the infants were aware of illogical outcomesB．the infants inspected distinct objects over and againC．the infants were very sensitive to the removal of the barrierD．the infants showed interest in the appearance of the dinosaur（3）The underlined word "eliminating" in Paragraph 3 probably means ""．A．resisting B．removing C．expanding D．exploring（4）According to the text，what will Cesana﹣Arlotti study further？A．The mental development of babies．B．The initial state of logic in the mind．C．Distinctions between verbal and preverbal logic．D．Additional reasoning abilities of the speechless brain．29．（6分）People love spreading information and sharing opinions．You can see this online：every day，4million new blogs are written，80 million new photos are uploaded and 616 million new tweets are released into cyberspace．We experience a burst of pleasure when we share our thoughts，and this drives us to communicate．It is a useful feature of our brain，because it ensures that knowledge，experience and ideas do not get buried with the person who first had them，and that as a society we benefit from the products of many minds．Of course，in order for that to happen，merely sharing is not enough．We need to cause a reaction．Each time we share our opinions and knowledge，it is with the intention of having an impact on others．Here's the problem，though：we approach this task from inside our own heads．But if we want to have an impact on others，we need to understand what goes on inside their head．What determines whether you affect the way others think and behave or are ignored？You may assume that numbers and statistics are what you need to change their point of view．Well，experiments have pointed to the reality that people are not driven by facts．They are not enough to alter beliefs，and they are practically useless for motivating action．Consider climate change：there are mountains of data indicating that humans play a role in warming the globe，yet approximately 50% of the world's population doesn't believe it．What about health？Hundreds of studies show that exercise is good for you and people believe this to be so，yet this knowledge fails miserably at getting many to step on a treadmill （跑步机）．The problem with an approach that prioritizes information is that it ignores the core of what makes us human：our motives，our fears，our hopes，our desires，our prior beliefs．In fact，the tsunami of information we are receiving today can make us even less sensitive to data because we've become accustomed to finding support for absolutely anything we want to believe with a simple click of the mouse．Instead，our need for agency，our craving to be right，and a longing tofeel part of a group really count．It is those motivations we need to tap into to make a change，whether within ourselves or in others．（1）People love spreading information and sharing opinions because．A．they often think their thoughts are superior to others'B．they can provide a lasting pleasure of communicationC．they want to affect the behaviours and beliefs of othersD．they are able to understand others' inner world better（2）The examples of climate change and health indicate that．A．data and logical thinking aren't bound to change mindsB．numbers and statistics are persuasive enough to othersC．people's deeds and minds don't agree with each otherD．people are fed up with huge amounts of data and studies（3）What does the writer stress in the passage？A．Behaviors determine our beliefs．B．Our desires shape what we believe．C．We shouldn't force our ideas on others．D．Too much information serves no purpose．30．（12分）April 2018，ManchesterMy dearest daughter，As I looked across at you sitting on the sofa watching The X Factor，I noticed that you are no longer a child，and that having just celebrated your 14th birthday，you are now a young woman starting a journey into becoming an adult woman．As I looked at you，I remembered myself at 14，and the vastly different places we are beginning this journey from．Your identity as a mixed﹣race young woman，with an English father and a Pakistani mother，has already influenced how you place yourself in this world．As yet，you are unaware of the personal struggles that I took at the age of 25 to marry．How it felt when my mother refused to come to my wedding．The sharp criticisms of the Asian community that such marriages do not work out and alwaysend in divorce．The confidence I had to grow，as we chose to live in a multicultural community，as I refused to be shamed into living in the leafier white suburbs．Then，at the age of 30，I became your mum with all the joys and struggles this brought，as I refused the Asian traditions for a new baby's arrival．From your birth，your life could not have been more different from mine．I was brought up on a council estate，within a tight﹣knit extended Muslim family，through which poverty，racism and neglect were woven．I was never given the freedoms or the opportunity to experience new things．Now，as I hear you play your piano，I am grateful that you have these opportunities．So many doors were closed to me as a young person，and as I fought for small steps of freedom，I soon learned that it was better to do what I wanted without the knowledge of my parents，and so deceit and deception （欺骗）became woven into my life too．The pressures to obey，to be a "good Muslim" girl and keep the family honour，were choking．Behind closed doors at home，the neglect and abuse took place．It was hidden，I felt the shame，lived with the fear and suffered alongside my sister and two younger brothers．Oh，the power we thought our parents had over us! I was convinced that one day my father would indeed beat us so hard that leaving us for dead，he would，as his threats said he would，bury us in the large back garden，and tell the school he had taken us back to Pakistan for good．My sister and I longed for a different blue sky to live under．As a daughter of immigrant parents，I carried their hopes of a better education for their children ﹣my own veins （血管）pulsing with the hard﹣work ethic （道德）and need to be grateful for the opportunity of a free education．And it was education that provided me with the strength to find my own blue sky．I fought to leave home to go to university at the age of 18，and never returned to live with my parents again．Now as you explore your mixed﹣race heritage，which I hope we have supported you to do with visits to Pakistan and ensuring you go to multi﹣cultural schools，I want you to take the very best of all that is Asian with you as you becomea woman．The struggles of identity and belonging will come but I hope that we have given you a strong foundation from which to explore these struggles．All the opportunities and freedoms that I only dreamed of as a young woman，I have offered you．I have chosen a different path of loving you as my daughter，with an unconditional love that many consider "western"．I want you to know that although your journey has been vastly different，I am excited as I watch you standing on the threshold （门槛）of becoming a woman for all the adventures and possibilities the future holds for you．May you fly your blue sky with grace，confidence and hope as you find your place in this beautiful and crazy world．Loving you now and always．Mommy （1）Mommy's mother refused to attend her wedding party because．A．she married against the wishes of her familyB．she was believed to fall victim

dream第四部分任务型阅读（满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．注意：每个空格只填1个单词．请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上．31．（10分）We all have complaints about going to work．It's expected：work takes up the majority of our waking day and it very much defines us．We often use our jobs as an introduction and a window into our lives when we meet someone﹣a job reflects who we are．It influences the clothes we wear，the holidays we take，where we live and how we feel about ourselves．Of course，it takes up sizeable amounts of time，focus and energy．We complain about getting on that rush﹣hour train or the way the boss speaks；we laugh about the pain of Monday mornings and the thrill of annual leave．But for many people，work has ceased to be simply a source of complaints or a joke．But haven't there always been tough roles，heavy workloads and overtime？Why has this work﹣related illness arisen now？From the research that has been carried out on this subject，workload is consistently cited （引用）as the most common reason for this ill health．But as our jobs are not going to change any time soon，it's time to change ourselves．Mental﹣health experts often talk about resilience：the ability to cope，survive and bounce back from difficulties．Some is inborn，but resilience can be built and fostered （培养）﹣and certainly so in one's working life．We know that resilience at work is partly fostered by supportive relationships．So it is important to nurture healthy interpersonal relationships at work，whether that is through the support of a good manager or through friendship with work colleagues．Any supportive relationship you invest in at work will improve your stress levels．Resilience can also be fostered by taking control．That is not easy in the face of a demanding boss or terrible workloads，so you might need to look for it elsewhere．Being able to take control in other areas of your life also leads to empowerment and grows your confidence．Control or change your journey to work，what you have for lunch or even who you sit with in the canteen．Small changes may seem trivial （微不足道的），but they are super effective．Psychologists talk about micro﹣actions and these are incredibly powerful in the face of stress﹣changing controllable aspects of your life so that those repeated small successes foster self﹣esteem，confidence and ultimately more success in the bigger areas of your life．It is also crucial not to let everything become about work．Look for micro﹣successes elsewhere，in your hobbies，your exercise goals and your life plan．Our work appears to be making more and more of us unwell．But we all have the ability to make ourselves better．第五部分书面表达（满分25分）请认真阅读下面有关中学生自信心现状调查的柱状图及相关文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章．32．（25分）Self﹣confidence is an attitude which allows individuals to have positive yet realistic views of themselves and their situations．People who are not self﹣confident depend excessively on the approval of others in order to feel good about themselves．They tend to avoid taking risks because they fear failure．They generally do not expect to be successful．They often put themselves down and tend to discount or ignore compliments paid to them．【写作内容】1．用约30个单词概述饼状图信息的主要内容；2．简要分析中学生培养自信心的重要性（不少于两点）；3．根据你的分析，谈谈中学生自信心培养的途径和方法．【写作要求】1．写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；3．不必写标题．【评分标准】内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当．2018年江苏省徐州市高考英语三模试卷参考答案与试题解析第一部分听力（共两节，满分20分）1．（1分）What

prices．B．By introducing their features．C．By telling their historical stories．D．By listing thoughtful services．28．（8分）Symbolic communication in the form of language underlies our unique ability to reason ﹣or the conventional wisdom holds so．A new study published in Science，though，suggests our capacity to reason logically may not actually depend on language，at least not fully．The findings show babies still too young to speak can reason and make reasonable deductions．The authors﹣a team from several European institutions﹣studied infants （婴儿）aged 12 and 19 months，when language learning and speech production hasjust begun but before complex mastery has been achieved．The children had to inspect distinct objects repeatedly﹣such as a dinosaur and a flower．The items were initially hidden behind a black wall．In one set of experiments the animation （动漫）would show a cup scooping （舀出）up the dinosaur．Half of the time，the barrier would then be removed to reveal，as expected，the remaining flower．In the rest of the instances，though，the wall would disappear and a second dinosaur would be there．The children deduced in these latter occurrences that something was not quite right，even though they were unable to express in words what was wrong．Eye﹣tracking﹣a commonly used technique to judge mental abilities in preverbal （语前的）children and apes﹣showed infants stared significantly longer at scenes where the unexpected object appeared behind the barrier，suggesting they were confused by the reveal．"Our results indicate that the acquisition of logical vocabulary might not be the source of the most fundamental logical building blocks in the mind，" says lead study author Nicoló Cesana﹣Arlotti．A major component of human logic，he notes，relates to thinking about alternative possibilities and eliminating inconsistent ones：Does the dinosaur sit behind the barrier or does the flower？In a formal logic this is called a disjunctive syllogism （析取三段论）：A or B；not if A，therefore B．Cesana﹣Arlotti acknowledges his findings do not deny the importance of language and symbolic communication to human brain development，and to our evolutionary backstory．Yet the new research suggests that perhaps it is not entirely necessary to shape the brain's logical reasoning capacities．He plans further work studying how logic before the development of language might still differ from reasoning abilities that appear once language comes along，as language may open additional reasoning abilities unavailable to the speechless brain．"To our knowledge，nobody has ever directly documented logical reasoning in 12﹣month﹣old infants before，" he adds．（1）We can learn from the new study published in Science that．A．the ability to reason logically is unique to humansB．babies are too young to make reasonable deductionsC．language is not a requirement for some basic reasoningD．the new findings correspond with the conventional ideas（2）The researchers draw the conclusion from the fact that．A．the infants were aware of illogical outcomesB．the infants inspected distinct objects over and againC．the infants were very sensitive to the removal of the barrierD．the infants showed interest in the appearance of the dinosaur（3）The underlined word "eliminating" in Paragraph 3 probably means ""．A．resisting B．removing C．expanding D．exploring（4）According to the text，what will Cesana﹣Arlotti study further？A．The mental development of babies．B．The initial state of logic in the mind．C．Distinctions between verbal and preverbal logic．D．Additional reasoning abilities of the speechless brain．29．（6分）People love spreading information and sharing opinions．You can see this online：every day，4million new blogs are written，80 million new photos are uploaded and 616 million new tweets are released into cyberspace．We experience a burst of pleasure when we share our thoughts，and this drives us to communicate．It is a useful feature of our brain，because it ensures that knowledge，experience and ideas do not get buried with the person who first had them，and that as a society we benefit from the products of many minds．Of course，in order for that to happen，merely sharing is not enough．We need to cause a reaction．Each time we share our opinions and knowledge，it is with the intention of having an impact on others．Here's the problem，though：we approach this task from inside our own heads．But if we want to have an impact on others，we need to understand what goes on inside their head．What determines whether you affect the way others think and behave or are ignored？You may assume that numbers and statistics are what you need to change their point of view．Well，experiments have pointed to the reality that people are not driven by facts．They are not enough to alter beliefs，and they are practicallyuseless for motivating action．Consider climate change：there are mountains of data indicating that humans play a role in warming the globe，yet approximately 50% of the world's population doesn't believe it．What about health？Hundreds of studies show that exercise is good for you and people believe this to be so，yet this knowledge fails miserably at getting many to step on a treadmill （跑步机）．The problem with an approach that prioritizes information is that it ignores the core of what makes us human：our motives，our fears，our hopes，our desires，our prior beliefs．In fact，the tsunami of information we are receiving today can make us even less sensitive to data because we've become accustomed to finding support for absolutely anything we want to believe with a simple click of the mouse．Instead，our need for agency，our craving to be right，and a longing to feel part of a group really count．It is those motivations we need to tap into to make a change，whether within ourselves or in others．（1）People love spreading information and sharing opinions because．A．they often think their thoughts are superior to others'B．they can provide a lasting pleasure of communicationC．they want to affect the behaviours and beliefs of othersD．they are able to understand others' inner world better（2）The examples of climate change and health indicate that．A．data and logical thinking aren't bound to change mindsB．numbers and statistics are persuasive enough to othersC．people's deeds and minds don't agree with each otherD．people are fed up with huge amounts of data and studies（3）What does the writer stress in the passage？A．Behaviors determine our beliefs．B．Our desires shape what we believe．C．We shouldn't force our ideas on others．D．Too much information serves no purpose．30．（12分）April 2018，ManchesterMy dearest daughter，As I looked across at you sitting on the sofa watching The X Factor，I noticed that you are no longer a child，and that having just celebrated your 14th birthday，you are now a young woman starting a journey into becoming an adult woman．As I looked at you，I remembered myself at 14，and the vastly different places we are beginning this journey from．Your identity as a mixed﹣race young woman，with an English father and a Pakistani mother，has already influenced how you place yourself in this world．As yet，you are unaware of the personal struggles that I took at the age of 25 to marry．How it felt when my mother refused to come to my wedding．The sharp criticisms of the Asian community that such marriages do not work out and always end in divorce．The confidence I had to grow，as we chose to live in a multicultural community，as I refused to be shamed into living in the leafier white suburbs．Then，at the age of 30，I became your mum with all the joys and struggles this brought，as I refused the Asian traditions for a new baby's arrival．From your birth，your life could not have been more different from mine．I was brought up on a council estate，within a tight﹣knit extended Muslim family，through which poverty，racism and neglect were woven．I was never given the freedoms or the opportunity to experience new things．Now，as I hear you play your piano，I am grateful that you have these opportunities．So many doors were closed to me as a young person，and as I fought for small steps of freedom，I soon learned that it was better to do what I wanted without the knowledge of my parents，and so deceit and deception （欺骗）became woven into my life too．The pressures to obey，to be a "good Muslim" girl and keep the family honour，were choking．Behind closed doors at home，the neglect and abuse took place．It was hidden，I felt the shame，lived with the fear and suffered alongside my sister and two younger brothers．Oh，the power we thought our parents had over us! I was convinced that one day my father would indeed beat us so hard that leaving us for dead，he would，as his threats said he would，bury us in the large back garden，and tell the school he had taken us back to Pakistan for good．My sister and I longed for a different blue sky to live under．As a daughter of immigrant parents，I carried their hopes of a better educationfor their children ﹣my own veins （血管）pulsing with the hard﹣work ethic （道德）and need to be grateful for the opportunity of a free education．And it was education that provided me with the strength to find my own blue sky．I fought to leave home to go to university at the age of 18，and never returned to live with my parents again．Now as you explore your mixed﹣race heritage，which I hope we have supported you to do with visits to Pakistan and ensuring you go to multi﹣cultural schools，I want you to take the very best of all that is Asian with you as you become a woman．The struggles of identity and belonging will come but I hope that we have given you a strong foundation from which to explore these struggles．All the opportunities and freedoms that I only dreamed of as a young woman，I have offered you．I have chosen a different path of loving you as my daughter，with an unconditional love that many consider "western"．I want you to know that although your journey has been vastly different，I am excited as I watch you standing on the threshold （门槛）of becoming a woman for all the adventures and possibilities the future holds for you．May you fly your blue sky with grace，confidence and hope as you find your place in this

day and it very much defines us．We often use our jobs as an introduction and a window into our lives when we meet someone﹣a job reflects who we are．It influences the clothes we wear，the holidays we take，where we live and how we feel about ourselves．Of course，it takes up sizeable amounts of time，focus and energy．We complain about getting on that rush﹣hour train or the way the boss speaks；we laugh about the pain of Monday mornings and the thrill of annual leave．But for many people，work has ceased to be simply a source of complaints or a joke．But haven't there always been tough roles，heavy workloads and overtime？Why has this work﹣related illness arisen now？From the research that has been carried out on this subject，workload is consistently cited （引用）as the most common reason for this ill health．But as our jobs are not going to change any time soon，it's time to change ourselves．Mental﹣health experts often talk about resilience：the ability to cope，survive and bounce back from difficulties．Some is inborn，but resilience can be built and fostered （培养）﹣and certainly so in one's working life．We know that resilience at work is partly fostered by supportive relationships．So it is important to nurture healthy interpersonal relationships at work，whether that is through the support of a good manager or through friendship with work colleagues．Any supportive relationship you invest in at work will improve your stress levels．Resilience can also be fostered by taking control．That is not easy in the face of a demanding boss or terrible workloads，so you might need to look for it elsewhere．Being able to take control in other areas of your life also leads to empowerment and grows your confidence．Control or change your journey to work，what you have for lunch or even who you sit with in the canteen．Small changes may seem trivial （微不足道的），but they are super effective．Psychologists talk about micro﹣actions and these are incredibly powerful in the face of stress﹣changing controllable aspects of your life so that those repeated small successes foster self﹣esteem，confidence and ultimately more success in the bigger areas of your life．It is also crucial not to let everything become about work．Look for micro﹣successes elsewhere，in your hobbies，your exercise goals and your life plan．Our work appears to be making more and more of us unwell．But we all have the ability to make ourselves better．第五部分书面表达（满分25分）请认真阅读下面有关中学生自信心现状调查的柱状图及相关文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章．32．（25分）Self﹣confidence is an attitude which allows individuals to have positive yet realistic views of themselves and their situations．People who are not self﹣confident depend excessively on the approval of others in order to feel good about themselves．They tend to avoid taking risks because they fear failure．They generally do not expect to be successful．They often put themselves down and tend to discount or ignore compliments paid to them．【写作内容】1．用约30个单词概述饼状图信息的主要内容；2．简要分析中学生培养自信心的重要性（不少于两点）；3．根据你的分析，谈谈中学生自信心培养的途径和方法．【写作要求】1．写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；3．不必写标题．【评分标准】内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当．2018年江苏省徐州市高考英语三模试卷参考答案与试题解析第一部分听力（共两节，满分20分）1．（1分）What

Yet people still can't agree what it means. On the surface, it's a fridge－magnet cliché(陈词滥调)on the importance of taking risks and choosing the road less travelled.But many argue it slyly mocks(暗讽) that American belief in the individual's power to determinehis or her future. After all, the poet admits that both paths look roughly similarly well－travelled.And how could he be sure he took the right one? He'll never know where the other leads. Looking back at our life histories, we tell ourselves we faced important dilemmas and chose wisely. But maybe only because it's too awful to admit we're stumbling(跌跌撞撞地走) mapless among the trees, or that our choices don't make much difference.Two psychologists, Karalyn Enz and Jennifer Talarico, throw light on these matters in a newstudy with a title that nods to Frost: Forks In The Road. They sought to clarify how people think about “turning points”versus “transitions”in life. A turning point, by their definition, is a moment that changes your future—deciding to leave a job or marriage, say—but often isn't visible from the outside, at least at first. “Transitions”involve big external changes: going to university, marrying, emigrating(迁出). Sometimes the two go together, as when you move to a new place and realizeit's where you belong. (“New Yorkers are born all over the country，”Delia Ephron said, “and then they come to New York and it hits them: oh, that's who I am.”) But it's turning points we remember as most significant, Enz and Talarico conclude, whether or not they also involve transitions.The distinction is useful: it underlines how the most outwardly obvious life changes aren'talways those with the biggest impact. Hence the famous “focusing illusion”，which describeshow we exaggerate(夸大) the importance of a single factor on happiness: you switch jobs, or spouses, only to discover you brought the same troublesome old you to the new situation. Before it became a joke, “midlife crisis”referred to a turning point that happens because your circumstances don't change, when your old life stops feeling meaningful. Turning points can be caused by mundane(世俗的)things—the offhand remark that makes you realize you're in the仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度wrong life—or by nothing at all.()59. Why do some people think the poem makes fun of the American belief?A. Because the two roads are more or less similar in the poet's view.B. Because Americans believe they can decide their future themselves.C. Because Americans can find their way easily in a forest just with a map.D. Because Americans surely know which road to take without consideration.()60. Which of the following can be considered as a transition?A. Your experience of midlife crisis.B. Your choice of the road to take.C. Your decision to travel abroad.D. Your move into a new flat.()61. What can we infer from this passage?A. Turning points involving transitions are often remembered as most significant.B. The biggest impact is often characterized with obvious outside changes.C.

Is Our Fate in Our Own Hands?B. Must People Make Changes in Life?C. Should We Choose the Road Less Travelled?D. Are Turning Points Connected With Transitions?CThe idea came to Ralph Liedert while he was sweating in the Californian sunshine, havingbeen standing with his daughter for over an hour in a queue for a ride at Disneyland. What, he thought, if his T－shirt had a cooling system he could turn on, at the tap of a smart phone app, when he needed it. Luckily, Mr Liedert does have the means to make the dream reality, for he works at the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, as one of a team there studying the rapidly growing field of microfluidics(微流控技术)．仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度Cooling vests already exist (used by racing drivers, motorcyclists and people who work inhot conditions). But the tubes through which the cooling water is being pumped, and the vests' need to be connected to outside units that cool this water, make them huge and clumsy. Mr Liedert thought VTT's microfluidics department could do things better.As its name suggests, microfluidics is the art of building devices that handle tiny amounts of liquid. Inkjet－printer cartridges(喷墨打印机墨盒) are a familiar example. Less familiar, but also important, are “labs－on－a－chip(芯片实验室)”. These are tiny analytical devices that transport fluids such as blood through channels half a millimetre or less in diameter(直径), in order to carry them into what holds analytical reagents(试剂). Sensors, then detect the resulting reactions and provide an instant analysis of a sample(样本). Designing labs－on－a－chip is the VTT microfluidics department's day job. One of its chips, for example, can tell whether water is affected by the bacteria that cause Legionnaires' disease.The department's biggest contribution to the field, though, is to have developed a way ofprinting microfluidic channels onto large rolls of thin, flexible plastic. It works by passing the plastic between two heated rollers, one of which contains raised outlines of the required channels. As the rollers squeeze the plastic they create a pattern of channels into one surface. A second plastic film is then melted over the top as a cover. This process might, thought Mr Liedert, be suitable for printing a microfluidic cloth that was thin enough and pleasant enough to wear as a cooling vest.The group's first model showed that such a material could indeed be made and used tocirculate cooled water. They are also looking at ways the water being circulated through the microchannels might be cooled. They have identified two. One uses a small heat－exchanger, the details of which they are keeping secret at this stage. The other employs evaporation(蒸发). It thus works in the same way that heat from circulating blood is removed by the evaporation of sweat. Whichever cooling system is applied, the electronics needed to power and control it would be shrunk into a small package contained on the back of the vest. This could be operated by hand or,as Mr Liedert originally envisaged in his Californian queue, by a wireless link to a smart phone.Moreover, what can cool down can also, if run in an opposite way, warm up. In Finland, where winter temperatures fall as far as －50℃，that might be the technology's killer app.()63.

Despite this huge level of support, it is not generally understood exactly what child sponsorship actually involves.Most people tend to assume that one's chosen charity arranges for sponsors to be matched upwith an underprivileged child in one of the poorer underdeveloped countries. The idea is that you essentially take a child under your wing and act almost like a fairy godmother or father until he or she attains adulthood and can stand on his or her own two feet.To a large extent, this is a pretty accurate impression. New sponsors are matched withindividual children and can typically choose which country, which sex and which age group they would prefer. They then exchange photos and letters on a regular basis. This obviously helps the sponsors to see at first－hand how their donations are benefiting the children.The sponsorship itself costs approximately ￡15 per month and many donators choose tosponsor more than one child at once. One common wrong impression about these regular donations is that they go direct to the child's parents or guardian in order to pay for essentials suchas food or education. In reality, some of the longest established child sponsorship charities have found that this is largely ineffective and can cause anger among other children in the communitywho might not be so fortunate.Instead, some of the largest charities prefer to pool total donations and carry out largerschemes to assist the whole community. Nor are all the funds diverted(分配使用)towards obvious short term relief like providing food, water and basic healthcare. There is a strong emphasis onself－help and personal development so that future generations will be self－sustaining and not so reliant on outside assistance. To this end, sponsors will often find their donations finding their way into things like training courses to teach teenagers how to farm, small grants(补助金)for business仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度start－ups and introducing the concept of village－based savings and loan organizations.There is no doubt that the top sponsorship charities have been active for so long in manycountries that they are now taking a leading role in aiding the overall welfare of children and ensuring that they are not exposed to discrimination and abuse.Title: Child Sponsorship Moves Beyond the Basics仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度)分(满分25第五部分：书面表达.词左右的文章请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150Wishing AwayHave you ever noticed how people always want to be something they're not?Tall want to be short, young long to age, single dream of marriage, and no matter what bodyshape, everyone wants to lose at least another five pounds.), this wishing away of our lives.天性It's almost like a natural preoccupation(I am totally satisfied with “Think about it.

The monitor whose system broke down when first used.BAlthough the Samoan(萨摩亚) Natives have long claimed to be the indigenous(本土的) people of their islands, holding firm to the belief that Samoans were birthed by special creation in Samoa, it has been theorized by many linguists, based on linguistic commonalities as well as archaeological findings, that migrants from Southeast Asia arrived in the Samoan Islands approximately 3500 years ago, settling in what has come to be known as “Polynesia“further to the east.Early contact with Europeans was established in the 18th century. Christianity was formally introduced with the arrival of missionaries(传教士) in August 1830. During the early 20th century the Samoan Islands were divided by Germany, Great Britain and the USA. Tutuila and Aunu'u islands were claimed by the USA. The western islands became German Samoa. In 1914, New Zealand forces captured the islands from Germany, thus becoming Western Samoa. Western Samoa regained its independence on January 1, 1962.Samoans are notable in rugby. Despite its small population, the island of American Samoa produces disproportionately a large number of world－class American football players. Samoan Mosi Tatupu was a member of NFL team(全国橄榄球联盟) the New England Patriots. Samoan Troy Polamalu was a member of the NFL team the Pittsburgh Steelers until he retired after the 2014 football season.Traditional Samoan tattoo(纹身) proves the strong ties many Samoans feel for their culture. Samoans have practiced the art of tattooing for over 2，000 years. To this day, a man's tattoo widely covers from mid－back, down the sides, to the knees. A woman's tattoo is not quite aswide or heavy. The geometric patterns are based on ancient designs, and often indicate rank and status.Here is the process of tattooing. The tattoo master dips his cutting tools into black ink made from burnt shells, and then punctures designs into the skin. The cutting tool consists of a short piece of bamboo or light wood with a piece of tortoiseshell bound at right angles at one end. A little bone comb is bound to the lower broad end of the tortoiseshell. The larger the comb, the greater the area on the skin is covered with fewer strokes. The process takes days, and is sometimes partially accomplished over longer periods, with recovery in between.()58. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that ________．A. Missionaries firstly introduced Christianity into Samoa in August of 1830B. Tutuila and Aunu'u islands have ever been claimed by Great Britain in 1920C. Eastern and western Samoa regained its independence in January of 1962D. Samoa has a history of being occupied by at least four developed countries()59. The author introduced the sport item “rugby” in Samoa with a tone of ________．A. dignityB. doubtC. respectD. sadness()60. When talking about their culture, Samoan natives most probably agree that ________．A. a woman's tattoo is quite heavy and not wideB. a man's tattoo covers from mid－chest to kneesC. Tattoo－receiving recovers slowly but necessarilyD. Tattoo patterns always indicate rank and genderCNEW cars that can control and brake themselves risk quieting people in the driver's seat into a false sense of security —and even to sleep.That was one surprising finding when researchers put Stanford University students in a simulated(模拟的) self－driving car to study how they reacted when their robo－chauffer needed help. The experiment was one in a growing number that assesses how cars can safely hand control back to a person when their self－driving software is at a loss.With some models already able to stay in their lane or keep a safe distance from other traffic, and automakers pushing for more automation, the car－to－driver handoff is a big open question.The elimination(消除) of distracted driving is a major selling point for the technology. But in the Stanford experiment, reading or watching a movie helped keep participants awake. The Stanford research suggests engaging people with media could help, while some automakers are marketing vehicles with limited self－driving features that will slow the car if they detect a person has stopped paying attention to the road. Though research is ongoing, it appears that people need at least 5 seconds to take over.Meanwhile, traditional automakers are advancing with the technology. Mercedes and Toyota sell cars that can hit the brakes and stay in their lane. By adding new features each year, they might produce a truly self－driving car in about a decade. One potential risk of this gradualist approach became clear this fall, when Tesla Mo tors had to explain that its “auto pilot” feature did not mean drivers could stop paying attention. Starting late next year, the Cadillac CTS will get a Super Cruise system, which will allow semi－autonomous highway driving. If the driver's eyes are off the road, and they don't respond to repeated urging, the car slows.“We are in no way selling this as a technology where the driver can check out，”General Motors spokesman Dan Flores said, “You can relax, glance away, but you still have to be aware because you know the technology's not safe.”One riddle automakers must solve: How to get owners to trust the technology so they'll use it — but not trust it so much that they'll fall into a false sense of security. Trust was on the mind of researchers who in August published an extensive report on self－driving cars. “Although this trust is essential for widespread adoption, participants were also observed prioritizing non－driving activities over the operation of the vehicle，”the authors wrote. Another wide－open question: How to alert the person in the driver's seat of the need to take over. It appears that the car should appeal to several senses. Visual warnings alone may not be enough.()61. In the experiment, one disadvantage of the self－driving car is that in the drivers' seats people ________．A. have a sense of security because of new technologyB. can't react immediately when they need helpC. are often distracted while driving the carD. like to read and watch a movie to keep awake()62. What does the underlined word “handoff” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. changeB. controlC. pullD. push()63. From the passage, we can conclude that ________．A. the automakers are proud of the new cars for their technologyB. there are problems to solve in getting owners to trust the technologyC. automakers have already marketed cars with limited self－driving technologyD. traditional automakers rather than present ones are advancing with the technology()64. The author's purpose of writing the passage is to ________．A. remind the readers of risks in the self－driving carB. advertise and market the new self－driving carC. get more participants to experiment in the self－driving carD. introduce the advanced technology in the self－driving carDGone with the Wind is a novel written by Margaret Mitchell, first published in 1936. It was popular with American readers from the onset and was the top American fiction bestseller in the year it was published and in 1937 on the row. As of 2014, a Harris poll found it to be the second favorite book of American readers, just behind the Bible. More than 30 million copies have been printed worldwide. The sales of Margaret Mitchell's novel in the summer of 1936, at the virtually unprecedented price of three dollars, reached about one million by the end of December. Because it was released in the era of the Great Depression and Mitchell worried the high $3.00 price would ruin its chance for success. Actually the book was a bestseller by the time reviews began to appear in national magazines.Herschel Brickell, a critic for the New York Evening Post, praised Mitchell for the way she “tosses out the window all the thousands of technical tricks our novelists have been playing with for the past twenty years”．One criticism by literary scholar Patricia Yaeger, leveled at Gone with the Wind, is for its portrayal of African Americans in the 19th century South. Former_field_hands during the early days of Reconstruction are described behaving “as creatures of small intelligence might naturally be expected to do. Like monkeys or small children turned loose among treasured objects whose value is beyond their comprehension, they ran wild—either from wrong pleasure in destruction or simply because of their ignorance.”In Gone with the Wind Mitchell is blind to racial oppressionand “the inseparability of race and gender”that defines the southern belle character of Scarlett, according to Patricia Yaeger.Yet there are complexities in the way that Mitchell dealt with racial issues. Scarlett was asked by a Yankee woman for advice on who to appoint as a nurse for her children; Scarlett suggested a “darky”，much to the disgust of the Yankee woman who was seeking an Irish maid, a “Bridget”. African Americans and Irish Americans are treated “in precisely the same way”in Gone with the Wind, writes David O'Connell in his 1996 book, The Irish Roots of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. Ethnic slurs(种族蔑称) on the Irish and Irish stereotypes spread in every part of the novel, O'Connell claims, and Scarlett is not an exception to the insults. And apparently in the novel, the Irish American O'Haras were slaveholders whereas African Americans were held as slaves.Speaking on the subject of whether Gone with the Wind should be taught in schools, James Loewen, author of Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong，says the novel should be taught in schools. Students should be told that Gone with the Wind presents the wrong view of slavery, Loewen states. Besides, the main complaint was that the racial slur “nigger”appears repeatedly in the novel. In the same complaint were several other books: The Nigger of the “Narcissus”，Uncle Tom's Cabin, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Another criticism of the novel is that it promotes plantation values. Mitchell biographer Marianne Walker, author of Margaret Mitchell & John Marsh: The Love Story Behind Gone with the Wind, is of the opinion that those who believe Gone with the Wind promotes plantation values have not read the book. Walker states it is the popular 1939 film that “promotes a false notion of the Old South”. She goes on to add that Mitchell had no involvement in the production of the film. Perhaps the most enduring legacy(遗产) of Gone with the Wind is that people worldwide would incorrectly think it was the true story of the Old South and how it was changed by the American Civil War and Reconstruction. The film version of the novel “amplified this effect”. Scholars of the period have written in recent years about the negative effects the novel has had on race relations.()65. When Gone with the Wind was published, ________．A. it became the top bestseller all of the timeB. reading was more popular than anything else thenC. the price of the book was too high for people thenD. American people were suffering financial problems()66. In Paragraph 3, the underlined part “Former field hands”refers to ________．A. peasants in the early timeB. African－American peopleC. creatures of small intelligenceD. people in Reconstruction()67. David O'Connell's view is different from Patricia Yaeger's in ________．A. Mitchell's Ethnic slurs in the novelB. Mitchell's description of slave laborersC. Mitchell's attitude towards the Irish peopleD. Mitchell's ways of dealing with racial problems()68. According to Paragraph 5, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. James Loewen sings high praise for American history textbooks.B. Uncle Tom's Cabin also shows some racial discrimination.C. The repeated appearance of the racial slur “n igger” is only a trick.D. Gone with the Wind should be taught because it shows slavery is wrong.()69. What can we infer as to the film Gone with the Wind?A. It has nothing to do with the novel.B. It promotes a false concept of plantation.C. It reflects the true story of the Old South.D. It is not so faithful to the novel.()70. Among the four persons, who doesn't give positive comments on Gone with the Wind?A. Herschel Brickell.B. David O'Connell.C. Patricia Yaeger.D. Marianne Walker.第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共35分)第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词.注意：每个空格只填1个单词.Is E－Mail Dead?With the rise of rapid－fire messaging, the digital letter seems to be crawling toward the fate of snail mail. If your in－box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands,you might have a hard time believing the news: e－mail is on the decline. The total volume of e－mail has dropped about 10 percent since 2010.The word “e－mail” itself tells you about its origins: it was modeled on written letters. To this day, a lot of e－mail begins with a salutat ion. Maybe it's “Hey” instead of “Dear Casey”，but it's there. And because there was so much overhead involved with sending a letter—folding, enveloping, addressing, stamping, mailing—few bothered to send only a few words. The effort seemed to justify a longer message. Once viewed as the death of the personal human touch, e－mail has now taken over the letter's place as a form of new communication—both business and personal. But is its day in the digital sun coming to a close?Today's instant electronic memos—such as texting and Facebook and Twitter messages—are more direct, more concentrated, more efficient. They get rid of the salutation; we already know the “to” and “from”. Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason: more signal, less noise. And less time.This trend is further evidence that store－and－forward systems such as e－mail and voicemail are outdated. Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later, I can now send you an easily consumed message that you can read—and respond to—on the go.The decline of e－mail corresponds neatly to the dawn of the mobile era.Does this mean e－mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history? Was it just a transitional technology—from postal mail to the new, rapid－fire communication channels?Not necessarily. E－mail still has certain advantages. Whereas tweets and texts feel transient—you read them, then they're gone, into an endless string—e－mail still feels like something you have, that you can file, search and return to later. It's easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications: agreements, important news, longer explanations.So in a word, no, e－mail won't go away completely. Remember, we've been through a transition like this not so long ago: when e－mail was on the rise, people said that postal mail was dead. That's not how it works. Postal mail found its place, and so will e－mail. Technology rarely replaces an institution completely; it just adds new avenues.Is E－Mail Dead？The origins of e－mailCurrentsituations第五部分：书面表达(满分25分)阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的短文.【写作内容】1. 用约30个单词概述上述图文信息的主要内容.2. 列举1至2个中外文化差异的事例.3. 谈谈我们该如何正确对待文化差异的问题(不少于两点).【写作要求】 1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句.2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称.3. 不必写标题.【评分标准】内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当.听力1~5 BACAC 6~10 ACBAC11~15 BBABC 16~20 ACBAB单项填空21.B 解析：考查代词.one代替名词a small town.第一句句意：我在考虑到一个小镇去旅游，尤其想到一个能看到海景的小镇.22.D 解析：考查形容词比较级.句意：尽管David有时候与父母相处不好，甚至有时候他还会和他们争吵，但是他的父母对他的爱没有减少.no less意为“不少；较多”，符合句意.23.A 解析：考查定语从句.whose引导定语从句，且whose作定语，修饰owners.因此选A.句意：那个两层楼已经变成茶馆了，它以前的主人中有很多是著名的演员.24.C 解析：考查名词.A项意为“良心；良知”；B项意为“标准”；C项意为“共识”；D 项意为“合同”.句意：经常调查了一些证人，最后得到一个共识，即那是一次事故.根据句意可知C项正确.25.D 解析：考查非谓语动词.根据句意可知，perform与其逻辑主语them之间为动宾关系，要选被动意义的选项，而本题四个选项中只有D项为被动意义，其他三项皆为主动意义，故选 D.句意：在家的电视上看足球比赛是一回事，看现场直播又是另外一回事.being performed为现在分词的被动式，作宾语补足语.26.A 解析：考查介词短语.A项意为“优先于”；B C项意为“参照”；D项意为“搜查；寻找”.根据题意可知选A.句意：人们到国外旅行时，优先使用微信交流而不用国际长途电话.27.D 解析：考查动词时态.在“It's time that...”这个句式中，从句的谓语动词要用现在完成时；由此可以排除A、B两项；这句话的主语China为单数名词，故选D项排除C项.28.D 解析：考查强调句.这是一个强调句，被强调部分是句子宾语the hotel.29.B 解析：考查倒装句.这是一个倒装句：让步状语从句中，表语“poor and backward are”被提到了前面，构成了倒装句.正常语序是：Although Western China is poor andbackward area, many college....30.A 解析：考查倒装句.根据语法规则，表示方位的介词短语置于句首时，要用全部倒装句，而本题中的介词短语Among the biggest problems facing those remote mountainous villages正是表示方位的，所以要用全部倒装，且主语为单数名词the lack，故选A项.31.D 解析：考查动词短语.A项意为“推迟”；B项意为“停止（做）某事，戒掉；戒除”；C项意为“让……下车（下船）”；D项意为“（使）开始”.根据句意可知，D项正确.句意：教育专家的话开始（揭开）了新的一轮从父母那里咨询有关家庭教育问题的（热潮）.32.B 解析：考查非谓语动词.分析句式结构可知，由于缺少连词，因此不能选择谓语动词，由此可以排除C、D两项；另外，release与agreement之间为动宾关系，故要用过去分词，即B项正确.这是一个独立主格结构.33.D 解析：考查虚拟语气.句意：如果年轻时候相信自己不善于写作，我现在就不可能从事自己的写作事业了.根据句意可知，这是一个错综条件句，即主句是表示现在，从句表示过去发生的事情.故D项正确.34.B 解析：考查动词.fetch在这里表示“售得”，符合语境，即表示意大利有经验的乐师制作的小提琴可以售得很多钱.35.A 解析：考查交际用语.A项意为“看到不祥之兆”；B项意为“我非常冷静”；C项意为“可靠的信息来源”；D项意为“很难取悦于所有人”.根据语境可知，A项正确，句意：——如果你不改进自己的工作，你会被解雇的.——我知道，因为我能看到不祥之兆.完形填空【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文.文章讲述了一个很坚强的孩子的故事.这个孩子和他爷爷在地下室玩耍时，被一条狗咬伤了，而且伤得很严重.但是她在医院里却去安慰她很紧张的父母.告诉他们马上一切都会好起来的.作者用这个故事告诉读者，身处逆境、遇到挫折时必须要保持积极乐观的态度.36.D 解析：考查名词.personality意为“个性；人格”，符合题意.句意：我可能会丢了（正常的）脸（根据下文可知，他脸被毁容了），但是我不能失去人格.37.C 解析：考查名词.根据后半句中的“accident”以及下文介绍他受伤的经过可知，C 项正确，即在急诊室里.38.A 解析：考查名词.根据下文51小题后面的“basement”可知，选A项.句意：他们当时在地下室闲逛.39.B 解析：考查名词.take a flying move at即一条狗飞快地冲向Gracie.40.C 解析：考查非谓语动词.sunk是sink的过去分词，意为“陷入”，符合语境，即牙齿咬进了Gracie的脸上的肉里.Teeth sunk into Gracie's face为独立主格结构.41.B 解析：考查动词.contain在这里意为“遏制；控制”，符合语境.句意：即狗的主人过来控制住了它.42.D 解析：考查形容词.A项意为“厌恶的”；B项意为“坚定的；毅然的”；C项意为“立即的；即食的”；D项意为“犹豫的”.根据后半句“but agreed because Atticus was well mannered and patient with children”可知，D项正确，即开始时Kaighn对收容那条狗在他家是表示犹豫的，但是后来发现那条狗脾气很好.43.D 解析：考查连词.与破折号前面句子连起来便是“Atticus was well mannered and patient with children until suddenly he wasn't.”句意：这条狗一直表现很好，对待孩子也很有耐心，直到（until）咬人这件事发生之前都是这样.44.A 解析：考查形容词.根据上下文内容可知，那个孩子虽然被咬得很严重，但是她却很勇敢，反而安慰她父母不要担心.因此选A.brave(勇敢)45.B 解析：考查动词.根据上下文内容可知，孩子看到父母很焦虑的样子，她去安慰他们不要担心，一切都会好起来的.故选fort(安慰).46.D 解析：考查连词.由“the wounds to her face 47 missed her eye and herear.”可推知，前后句子为转折关系，故选D.47.C 解析：考查副词.narrowly意为“勉强地”，与后面的missed连起来“narrowlymissed”意为“勉强错过”，即伤口刚刚好错过眼睛，没把眼睛咬伤.48.B 解析：考查动词短语.B项意为“极度悲伤”，符合语境，即孩子的老师听到这个孩子被咬伤的消息后，难过了几天.A项意为“崩溃”；C项意为“混合”；D项意为“推上去；提高”.49.D 解析：考查名词.老师说的话的大意是，这是一个随遇而安、善良的女孩，她是班级涵养的象征（symbol）.故D项正确.A项意为“信号”；B项意为“雕塑”；C项意为“迹象”.50.A 解析：考查动词.Touch在这里的意思是“触动；打动”，符合语境.句意：她的坚强不仅触动了老师，同样触动了很多其他人.。

What kind of a hotel makes kids forget about Disney World?Check In: As I was signing the necessary paperwork at the front desk, my kids were taken away by Wayne, the receptionist, to a large interactive map of the resort in the entrance hall. Wayne used the touch screen to show the kids the entire resort and talked about all of the fun things to do, like the kid's club, the waterslides, and the game room. I've never seen so much attention paid to the kids at check－in — such a cool touch.The Room: Not only were there kid－sized robes in the room, there were play things, NatGeo Kids magazines, chocolate lollypops, and milk chilling in the refrigerator. Plus, the room was designed from a family perspective. The sinks and shower settings were easily reachable, and the king bed and very comfortable sofa pull－out could easily fit a family of four, if not five. Wehad plenty of room.The Pools: There's a large shallow infinity pool. There's a meandering lazy river. There's a water park. There's an area for pool volleyball and basketball. And there are two very fun waterslides. We spent many hours roaming among them all, and just hanging out in a private teepee－shaped cabana next to the waterslides. So fun!No Surcharges: There's no resort fee. If you want to use one of the cool cabanas around the pools, it's included. For the kids club, you can use it as much or as little as you want to and the Hideout game room has a lot of activities, like pinball, at no cost. We took advantage of pretty much everything around the hotel except for the spa, and our final bill only showed our room charges, taxes, and meals. And if my kids were still under five, their meals would have been free.()56. The passage is written by the author mainly to ________．A. advertise a hotel at Walt Disney World ResortB. introduce the good service Walt Disney providesC. recall the experience that they once had in a hotelD. share information about a hotel near Disney World()57. Customers don't need to pay for ________ when they stay in the hotel.A. cool cabanasB. roomsC. the spaD. taxes()58. What can we learn from the passage?A.

The receptionist showed children around Disney World Resort.BMore than 100 million people in Nigeria are not connected to the Internet. There are only a few networks that offer service and it is costly and undependable. Now, a new project provides a resource for offline viewing at no cost.A non－profit organization called The WiderNet Project has developed the offline eGranary Digital Library. The service puts millions of digital documents, multimedia work and websites onto a server. The information is then available to students, medical workers, and researchers at no cost, whether there is Internet or not.Users can access informative websites that eGranary updates every day such as Wikipedia, Khan Academy, Project Gutenberg, MIT OpenCourseWare, and MIT BLOSSOMS (which is Math and Science video lessons for high school students). Other resources on the service include university and medical publications, computer software, and educational games.Ahmadu Bello University, the largest university in Nigeria and the second largest in Africa, uses eGranary's digital educational resources. Kasa Mathias, head of the school's database department, says students can access tens of thousands of educational materials without much problem.“We give them background information on the available databases that they can use for their research work, their assignments, especially projects, and sometimes we will carry them through sensitizing(激活) on new databases that are available for them.”Ibitoye Idowu, a first－year student of archeology, says easy access to university reading material, documents and journals has greatly helped his studying process, and that in some cases, he understands the digital materials better than class lectures.Students now have great reading material, but only when there is electric power. It often fails. Student Ibitoye Idowu says those moments are difficult.Muhammed Mu'azu who leads the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department says the university has spent a large amount of money on access to information, which is available for 40，000 students and teachers.“With or without Internet access students and staff have most of these educational database and university has also invested a lot in Internet access so even for online materials they are readily available for staff and students anywhere you are in the university campus.”There are fears that students may waste time on social media networks like Facebook and Twitter instead of spending it on school work. Professor Mu'azu says the university needs to be careful about placing restrictions on usage. But he says it will investigate what a user is accessing if a large amount of bandwidth is used.Muhammed Mu'azu compares the speed of the offline service to access over the Internet. The eGranary server can download hundreds of pages in less than 15 minutes. In the past, a 10－page document would take hours to download.WiderNet says it aims to expand to thousands more education and health centers around theworld.()59. The eGranary Digital Library is mainly intended for ________．A. poor people in NigeriaB. Ahmadu Bello UniversityC. teachers and staff of a universityD. people who can't access the Internet()60. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to ________．A. educational materialsB. available databasesC. assignments and projectsD. university students()61. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Offline eGranary Digital Library is available to over 100 million people in Nigeria now.B. A university needs to pay for the service of eGranary Digital Library to offer it to students.C. The power supply becomes the main challenge students face when using offline project.D. Education and health centers in the world will all use eGranary's digital educational resources.CScientists have known for decades that having measles(麻疹) suppresses kids' immune systems for several weeks or months, leaving them ill－equipped to fight off pneumonia, bronchitis and other infections.Now a team of researchers has suggested that the measles virus may also leave a longer－lasting sort of “immune－amnesia” that makes it harder for people to stave_off other illnesses for two years or more.That re－emphasizes the importance of vaccination(疫苗), said biologist Michael Mina, lead author of a paper that was published in the journal Science.“There may be a long－lasting impact that you can't undo if your child gets measles，”he said. “I hope this study can impress upon people the danger measles poses.”The researchers used what Mina called “an unconventional approach”to search for the long －lasting immune system effects. Previous work in monkeys suggested that monkeys with the disease lost white blood cells their bodies had trained to fight off other illnesses, leaving them more likely to be infected.To test if a similar thing may occur in humans, the group mined historical data to find out the relationship between measles incidence(发病率) and deaths from other infectious diseases.They turned to data from England and Wales —developed nations where disease levels are generally low, allowing a less－confused view of measles' effects. Studying measles incidence and deaths from infectious disease both before and after the introduction of the measles vaccine in the U．K. in the 1960s, Mina and the team saw a sort of shadow effect, where deaths from a variety of non－measles infectious diseases closely tracked measles incidence. The more measles in a population, the more deaths from other illnesses in the 28－month period that followed.“Really it didn't matter what age group, what decade or what country，”said Mina. “They all showed consistent results... what we're suggesting happens over the long term is that your immune system works fine, but it has forgotten what it previously learned.”Some researchers who were not involved in the work questioned whether the reductions in deaths as measles cases declined may have had more to do with improving nutrition and smaller family size than with prolonged immune suppression.Others thought the paper's opinion of years－long suppression was seemingly reasonable but said they could not comment on the mathematical models the group used.To know for certain what was behind the effect the group saw, Mina agreed, scientists would need to look at immune cells and observe their behavior. He said he would like to push the work in a more traditional direction: back into the laboratory.()62. Why did Mina call their research method “an unconventional approach”？A. Their research was based on the historical data.B. Their research compared monkeys with humans.C. They only paid attention to developed nations.D. They discovered a sort of shadow effect.()63. According to Mina, what is the significance of their research?A. They warned people that measles can result in other infectious diseases.B. They carried out the research on measles in an unconventional approach.C. They showed how dangerous measles is and the importance of vaccination.D. They found out the disease levels are generally low in developed nations.()64. The u nderlined phrase “stave off” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________．A. keep awayB. survive fromC. search forD. turn down()65. Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?A. Measles Has Been the Origin of Other Diseases and DeathsB. New Research Conducted Into Measles Has Been Widely QuestionedC. Study Points to Years－Long Immune System Misfortunes From MeaslesD. Damage Caused by Measles to the Immune System Could Last Several WeeksDSvetlana Alexandrovna Alexievich, born on 31 May 1948, is a Belarusian investigative journalist and non－fiction prose writer, writing in Russian. She was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature “for her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time”. She is the first writer from Belarus to receive the award.Alexievich grew up in Belarus. After finishing school she worked as a reporter in several local newspapers before graduating from Belarusian State University and becoming a journalist for the literary magazine Neman in Minsk.She went on to a career in journalism and writing narratives from interviews with witnesses to the most dramatic events in the country, such as World War Ⅱ，the Soviet－Afghan War, the fall of the Soviet Union, and the Chernobyl disaster. After political persecution(迫害) by the Lukashenko administration, she left Belarus in 2000. The International Cities of Refuge Network offered her shelter and during the following decade she lived in Paris, Gothenburg and Berlin. In 2011, Alexievich moved back to Minsk.According to Russian writer and critic Dmitry Bykov, her books owe much to the ideas of Belarusian writer Ales Adamovich, who felt that the best way to describe the horrors of the 20th century was not by creating fiction but through recording the evidence of witnesses. Belarusian poet Uladzimir Nyaklyayew called Adamovich “her literary godfather”. He also named the documentary novel I'm from the Burned Village by Ales Adamovich, Janka Bryl and Uladzimir Kalesnik, about the villages burned by the Nazi troops during the occupation of Belarus, as the main single book that has influenced Alexievich's attitude to literature. Alexievich admitted the influence of Adamovich and added, among others, Belarusian writer Vasil Bykaǔas another source of impact on her. Her most notable works in English translation include a collection of first －hand accounts from the war in Afghanistan(Zinky Boys: Soviet V oices from a Forgotten War) and a highly praised oral history of the Chernobyl disaster (V oices from Chernobyl)．Alexievich describes the theme of her works this way: If you look back at the whole of our history, both Soviet and post－Soviet, it is a huge common grave and a blood bath. An eternal dialogue of the executioners and the victims. The accursed Russian questions: what is to be done and who is to blame. The revolution, the gulags, the Second World War, the Soviet－Afghan war hidden from the people, the downfall of the great empire, the downfall of the giant socialist land, the land－utopia, and now a challenge of cosmic dimensions —Chernobyl. This is a challenge for all the living things on earth. Such is our history. And this is the theme of my books, this is my path, my circles of hell, from man to man.Her first book, War's Unwomanly Face, came out in 1985. It was repeatedly reprinted and sold more than two million copies. The book was finished in 1983 and published (in short edition) in Oktyabr, a Soviet monthly literary magazine, in February 1984. In 1985, the book was published by several publishers, and the number of printed copies reached 2，000，000 in the next five years. This novel is made up of monologues(独白) of women in the war speaking about the aspects of World War Ⅱ that had never been related before. Another book, The Last Witnesses: the Book of Unchildlike Stories, describes personal memories of children during war time. The war seen through women's and children's eyes revealed a new world of feelings. In 1993, she published Enchanted with Death, a book about attempted and completed suicides due to the downfall of the Soviet Union. Many people felt inseparable from the Communist ideology and unable to accept the new order surely and the newly interpreted history.Her books were not published by Belarusian state－owned publishing houses after 1993, while private publishers in Belarus have only published two of her books: V oices from Chernobyl in 1999 and Second－hand Time in 2013, both translated into Belarusian. As a result, Alexievich has been better known in the rest of world than in Belarus.()66. According to the passage, Alexievich was able to win the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature mainly because ________．A. she is superior to other writers in literatureB. she is the greatest journalist all over the worldC. she witnessed the most dramatic events in BelarusD. her works reflected the suffering and courage in her time()67. Who played a significant role in Alexievich's literary world?A. Ales Adamovich and Vasil Bykaǔ.B. Dmitry Bykov and Ales Adamovich.C. Uladzimir Kalesnik and Janka Bryl.D. Vasil Bykaǔ and Uladzimir Nyaklyayew.()68. Which of the following is TRUE about Alexievich's first book?A. It was not until 5 years later that the book was well received.B. It is written from the viewpoint of women and children involved in the war.C. It was first published by Belarusian state－owned publishing houses in 1984.D. It reveals something unknown about World War Ⅱto the public.()69. What can we know from the theme of Alexievich's works?A. She discusses who is to blame for the wars in her works.B. She takes a practical view of the future for her motherland.C. Her works show sorrow and sympathy for war victims and her country.D. Her works merely focused on the disasters the Belarusian experienced.()70. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Some people were dependent on the Soviet Union with affection.B. Women and children are the main characters of Alexievich's works.C. Voices from Chernobyl published in 1999 was written in Belarusian.D. Alexievich has been highly respected by the Lukashenko administration.第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共35分)第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词.注意：每个空格只填1个单词.Glad to Be GreyThe recession(经济衰退) of 2008—09 was remarkable in rich countries for its intensity, the subsequent recovery for its weakness. The labour market has also broken the rules, as new research from the OECD, shows in its annual Employment Outlook.Young people always suffer in recessions. Employers stop hiring them; and they often get rid of new employees because they are easier to sack. But in previous periods, such as the recessions of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, older workers were also dismissed. This time is different. During the financial crisis in 2008, and since, they have done better than other age groups.The researchers focus on movements in “non－employment”as a share of the total population in three age groups between the final quarters of 2007 and 2012. This measure has the advantage of including not just unemployment, where people are looking for work, but also inactivity, where people are not seeking jobs. Whereas the average non－employment rate in the OECD has risen by four percentage points among young people and by one－and－a－half points among 25－to 54－year－olds, it has fallen by two points among the 55－64 age group.Why have older employees done so well? In some southern European countries they benefit from job protection not afforded to younger workers, but that did not really help them in past recessions. What has changed, says Stefano Scarpetta, head of the OECD's employment directorate, is that firms now bear the full costs of getting rid of older staff. In the past early－retirement schemes provided by governments (in the mistaken belief that these would help young people) made it cheaper to push grey－haired workers out of the door. These have largely stopped.Job losses among older workers have also been balanced by falls in inactivity, reflecting employment pressure that were already apparent before the crisis. Older workers are healthier than they used to be and work is less physically demanding. They are also more attractive to employers than former generations.Today's 55－to 64－year－olds are the advance group of the post－war baby－boomers who benefited from better education than their predecessors. Older workers now have a stronger motivation to stay in employment because of the impact of the crisis on wealth.Many will argue that older workers have done better at the expense of the young. That view is wrongheaded. First, it is a mistaken belief that a job gained for one person is a job lost for another; there is no fixed “lump of labour”. And second, as the report shows; young and old people are by and large not substitutes in the workplace. They do different types of work in different types of occupation: younger people are attracted to IT firms, for example, whereas older folk tend to be employed in more traditional industries. There are plenty of things that should be done to help the young jobless, but shunting older workers out of the workplace is not one of them.。

Past(Batman movies) dealt with a straight－forward search for justice. This time, Batman's reasoning is clouded by frustration, bitterness and anger.”Ben Affleck, who plays Batman, told French magazine Studio Cine Live.Warcraft: The Beginning, June 10Based on the World of Warcraft video game series, the film tells the story of the initial encounters between humans and ores in the world of Azeroth.It's not surprising that Hollywood wants to adapt this game into a movie franchise. According to theInternational Business Times, World of Warcraft, which was originally released in 2004, was the best－selling PC game in both 2005 and 2006 and has about 7.6 million subscribers now.But despite its built－in audience, Warcraft might not be a hit at the box office. People have “critical presumptions” that “any film based on a video game must by definition be dreadful.” according to Time magazine.Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Nov. 18J．K. Rowling once said that she wouldn't consider “revisiting the wizarding world”after Harry Potter unless she had found something she was “really excited about”. This suggests that Fantastic Beasts and Where to find Them, a trilogy of films, is going to be great.Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was originally the name of a textbook used at the magical school Hogwarts. Rowling decided to develop this book, and its backstory, into a whole new series. The plot is set in New York 70 years before Harry Potter's saga starts. It follows Newt Scamander, a so－called “magizoologist” on his journey to study magical creatures and write a book on them.()56. The Guardian's attitude towards the plot of the first film can be that of ________．A. doubtB. supportC. unconcernD. reservation()57. What can we learn from the last two films?A. Warcraft: The Beginning has about 7.6 million fans now.B. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is adapted from a textbook.C. Warcraft: The Beginning probably won't see a good performance in boxing.D. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them isn't part of the film series.()58. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Big Films for Superhero EnthusiastsB. Big Releases for Fantasy FansC. Comparison of the Superhero FilmsD. Boom of the Film IndustryBMany of us remember being in awe(敬畏) when we saw cloned dinosaurs running wild in the film Jurassic Park. And the idea of using technology to revive(恢复) extinct species has long fascinated not only writers and directors, but scientists as well.According to The Telegraph, woolly mammoths(长毛猛犸象), which featured in the popular Ice Age animated movie series, “may walk the earth once more”now that scientists have taken another step toward realizing a long－held dream—recreating their DNA.Mammoths became extinct around 10，000 years ago. However, since the discovery of near －perfect preserved remains in Arctic permafrost(北极冻土带) in May 2013, a variety of research studies have been carried out since.Geneticists from Harvard University analyzed DNA from the remains, looking for genes which separated mammoths from elephants, such as hairiness and ear size. They then used the results to reproduce exact copies of 14 mammoth genes. “It is the first time that mammoth genes have been alive—although so far it has only been done in the lab，”George Church, lead researcher of the project, told The Sunday Times.Church then used a new technique which allows scientists to edit DNA carefully, replacing sections of elephant DNA with the mammoth genes. So “we now have functioning elephant cells with mammoth DNA in them，”he said.However, Church ruled out the possibility of bringing the mammoths back to life via cloning from frozen remains. He said he “preferred to focus on rebuilding the full mammoth genome(基因组) by analyzing DNA from preserved remains and putting it into the cells of its closest living relative—the Asian elephant，”reported The Telegraph.Church argued that the return of the woolly mammoth—or rather, the return of something very similar—could help bring back fragile(脆弱的) ecosystems. However, some scientists believe that bringing back the mammoth would be unethical．Professor Alex Greenwood, an expert on ancient DNA, said: “We may face the extinction of African and Asian elephants. Why bring back another elephant from extinction when we cannot even keep the ones that are not extinct around？”he told The Sunday Times. “What is the message? We can be as irresponsible with the environment as we want. Then we'll just clone things back？”“Money would be better spent focusing on conserving what we do have than spending it on an animal that has been extinct for thousands of years，”he said.()59. We can learn from the article that ________．A. cloned mammoths followed cloned dinosaurs to get revivedB. the technology to revive mammoth genes is already matureC. George Church and his colleagues tried to reproduce mammoth DNAD. Church and his team managed to list all the genes that separate mammoths from elephants()60. According to Church, what is the significance of his study?A. It could help prevent the extinction of the Asian elephant.B. It could help people better tell elephant DNA from mammoth genes.C. It could help bring back some extinct species and save fragile ecosystems.D. It could help bring mammoths back to life via cloning from frozen remains.()61. The underlined word “unethical” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ________．A. unacceptableB. misledC. impracticalD. illegal()62. According to the article, Professor Alex Greenwood believes that ________．A. there is no need to worry about the extinction of African and Asian elephants at presentB. it's necessary to bring back species that are beneficial to human beings from extinctionC. the return of the woolly mammoth would help to balance ecosystemsD. it's more important to protect present species than to bring back extinct onesCSome of the world's most significant problems never hit headlines. One example comes from agriculture. Food unrest and hunger make news. But the trend lying behind these matters is rarely talked about. This is the decline in the growth in production of some of the world's major crops. A new study by the University of Minnesota and McGill University in Montreal looks at where, and how far, this decline is occurring.The authors take a vast number of data points for the four most important crops: rice, wheat, corn and soybeans(大豆). They find that on between 24% and 39% of all harvested areas, the improvement in yields that took place before the 1980s slowed down in the 1990s and 2000s.There are two worrying features of the slowdown. One is that it has been particularly sharp in the world's most populous(人口多的) countries, India and China. Their ability to feed themselves has been an important source of relative stability both within the countries and on world food markets. That self－sufficiency cannot be taken for granted if yields continue to slow down or reverse.Second, production growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in corn and soybeans. This is problematic because wheat and rice are more important as foods, accounting for around half of all calories consumed. Corn and soybeans are more important as feed grains. The authors note that “we have preferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on feeding animals and cars rather than on crops that feed peo ple and are the basis of food security in much of the world.”The report qualifies the more optimistic findings of another new paper which suggests thatthe world will not have to dig up a lot more land for farming in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050, as the Food and Agriculture Organisation has argued.Instead, it says, thanks to slowing population growth, land currently ploughed up for crops might be able to revert(回返) to forest or wilderness. This could happen. The trouble is that the forecast assumes continued improvements in production, which may not actually happen.()63. What does the author try to draw attention to?A. Food riots and hunger in the world.B. News headlines in the leading media.C. The decline of the grain production growth.D. The food supply in populous countries.()64. Why does the author mention India and China in particular?A. Their self－sufficiency is vital to the stability of world food markets.B. Their food yields have begun to decrease sharply in recent years.C. Their big populations are causing worldwide concerns.D. Their food self－sufficiency has been taken for granted.()65. What does the Food and Agriculture Organization say about world food production in the coming decades?A. The growing population will greatly increase the pressure on world food supplies.B. The optimistic prediction about food production should be viewed with caution.C. The slowdown of the growth in yields of major food crops will be reversed.D. The world will be able to feed its population without increasing farmland.()66. How does the author view the argument of the Food and Agriculture Organisation?A. It is built on the findings of a new study.B. It is based on a doubtful assumption.C. It is backed by strong evidence.D. It is open to further discussion.DAmong the government's most interesting reports is one that estimates what parents spend on their children. Not surprisingly, the costs are steep. For a middle－class, husband－and－wife family (average pretax income in 2009: $76，250), spending per child is about $12，000 a year.With inflation the family's spending on a child will total $286，050 by age 17.The dry statistics ought to inform the ongoing deficit debate, because a budget is not just a catalog of programs and taxes. It reflects a society's priorities and values. Our society does not—despite rhetoric(说辞) to the contrary—put much value on raising children. Present budget policies tax parents heavily to support the elderly. Meanwhile, tax breaks for children are modest. If deficit reduction aggravates these biases, more Americans may choose not to have children or to have fewer children. Down that path lies economic decline.Societies that cannot replace their populations discourage investment and innovation. They have stagnant(萧条的) or shrinking markets for goods and services. With older populations, they resist change. To stabilize its population—discounting immigration—women must have an average of two children. That's a fertility rate of 2.0.Many countries with struggling economies are well below that.Though having a child is a deeply personal decision, it's shaped by culture, religion, economics, and government policy. “No one has a good answer”as to why fertility varies among countries, says sociologist Andrew Cherlin of The Johns Hopkins University. Eroding religious belief in Europe may partly explain lowered birthrates. In Japan young women may be rebelling against their mothers' isolated lives of child rearing. General optimism and pessimism count. Hopefulness fueled America's baby boom. After the Soviet Union's collapse, says Cherlin, “anxi ety for the future” depressed birthrates in Russia and Eastern Europe.In poor societies, people have children to improve their economic well－being by increasing the number of family workers and providing supports for parents in their old age. In wealthy societies, the logic often reverses. Government now supports the elderly, diminishing the need for children. By some studies, the safety nets for retirees have reduced fertility rates by 0.5 children in the United States and almost 1.0 in Western Europe, reports economist Robert Stein in the journal National Affairs. Similarly, some couples don't have children because they don't want to sacrifice their own lifestyles to the lime and expense of a family.Young Americans already face a hopeless labor market that cannot instill(注入) confidence about having children. Piling on higher taxes won't help, “If higher taxes make it more expensive to raise children，”says Nicholas Eberstadt of the American Enterprise Institute, “people will think twice about having a nother child.” That seems like common sense, despite the multipleinfluences on becoming parents.()67. What do we learn from the government report?A. Inflation increases families' expenses.B. Raising children is getting expensive.C. Budget reduction is around the corner.D. Average family expenditure is increasing.()68. What accounted for America's baby boom?A. Optimism for the future.B. Religious beliefs.C. Improved living conditions.D. Economic prosperity.()69. Why do people in wealthy countries prefer to have fewer children?A. They want to further improve their economic well－being.B. They cannot afford the time and expenses of rearing children.C. They are concerned about the future of the coming generation.D. They don't rely on their children to support them in old age.()70. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To instill confidence in the young about raising children.B. To advise couples to think twice before having children.C. To encourage the young to take care of the elderly.D. To appeal for tax reduction for raising children.第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共35分)第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词.注意：每个空格只填1个单词.Using virtual reality to add “real world”challenges to psychotherapy(精神疗法) sessions may enhance the treatment's effect for people learning to cope with workplace stress, according to a small study from Italy.Researchers say the mixtur e therapy known as “interreality” was more effective than traditional cognitive behavioral therapy, which is currently considered the gold standard for more serious anxiety and stress.“Psychological stress has reached large proportions in industrialized countries. Exposure to prolonged stress is known to increase the risk of physical and mental health problems, including depression and disabling anxiety conditions，”said Dr. Andrea Gaggioli from the IstitutoAuxologico Italiano in Milan, who led the study.“In particular, work－related stress is responsible for around one fifth of staff turnover, with negative implications for the productivity of organizations. Identifying more effective strategies to help people dealing with stress is an important research challenge，”he told Reuters Health in an e－mail.“The trouble with stress is that it is so very personal，”Gaggioli said. “Stress－related disorders depend a great deal on how the person experiencing a stressor is put together—psychologically and physically.”Using biosensors, smart phones and virtual reality technology, Gaggioli and his team designed a system to give therapists a window into how a specific patient experiences stress to better understand their stress triggers and find what the person should do differently to cope in a stressful situation.To see if this technology－enhanced therapy approach works, the researchers recruited 121 nurses and teachers.All the men and women filled out pre－and post－test questionnaires to measure their stress levels. The participants were then randomly assigned to either the interreality treatment group, a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) group or a waiting list group that received no treatment.For five weeks, participants in both treatment groups attended two hour－long sessions a week to learn ways to manage their stress.Examples of a stressful virtual scenario used during therapy with a teacher was “class management”or “coping with parent's criticism”. For nurses the scenarios included “managing patient's relat ives” and “managing a medical emergency situation”．The interreality participants also received counseling and training to cope with their stress based on how they performed in the virtual－reality sessions.When members of the standard CBT group met, they were instructed to close their eyes and imagine the same sorts of stressful situations that interreality group members had experienced in simulation. They didn't have mobile phones to keep track of their “stress history”，but were told to keep a diary.People in both the cognitive therapy and interreality groups reported less stress at the end of the experiment than those on the waiting list, but the interreality group showed biggerimprovements.According to the results published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, participants in the interreality group had a 12 percent decrease in general anxiety levels and a 14 percent increase in emotional coping skills. Cognitive therapy group members showed only a 0.5 percent drop in general anxiety and a 0.3 percent increase in coping skills.“A real strength here is the mix of technology, practitioners and real－life use—which seems like a potentially powerful therapeutic mix，”said Chris Williams, a professor and psychiatrist at the University of Glasgow in Scotland, who was not involved in the study.第五部分：书面表达(满分25分)Guangdong officials swore to help drug users live a normal life2015－12－21 01：03：35 GMT2015－12－21 09：03：35(Beijing Time)South China's Guangdong Province will continue to be one of the country's drugs manufacturing site, an international drug channel and a transfer point for the domestic illegal drug trade in the near future, a Guangdong narcotics control official said.“The rapid spread of drug problems and high incidence of drug－related crimes is causing great pain and trouble to Guangdong at present and will do so in the years to come，”Guo Shaobo, director of the Guangdong Provincial Narcotics Control Commission, said at a news conference in Guangzhou on Sunday.One of the issues behind increasing drug problems is that many drug users who are infected with diseases such as HIV are turned away by ordinary rehabilitation centers due to insufficient specialized facilities. In response, Guangdong authorities plan to use some compulsory drug rehabilitation centers into hospitals for drug users and have sworn to settle difficulties in receiving and treating such patients by the end of 2016, Guo said.【写作内容】1. 用约30个词概述上述信息主要内容.2. 结合上述信息，简要分析人们吸毒的主要原因.3. 根据你的分析，从社会规范(rules and regulations)和个人行为两方面谈谈青少年如何远离毒品(不少于两点).【写作要求】1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句.2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称.3. 不必写标题.。

About 2.3 billion people worldwide reported helping a stranger over the course of one month last year, and over 1.4 billion donated money to charitable causes in 2013.It may not be surprising that the United States, one of the wealthiest countries in the world, came on top as the most generous nation. What is astonishing is that the accolade(荣誉)was shared with Myanmar, a nation ranking 151 spots lower than the US on the GDP per capita scale. In fact, the report found that a nation's economic prosperity doesn't automatically translate to generosity. Only five of the countries in this year's World Giving Index Top 20 are members of the 仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度G20, a forum of the world's largest economies. Less wealthy places like Sri Lanka and Trinidad and Tobago featured in the top 10.Other factors, like following a religious philosophy or responding to a natural disaster, were found to be major drivers of donations. Myanmar earned its top place mainly due to the fact that nearly all of the respondents, 91%, donated money to charity, a practice which is rooted in the country's Theravada Buddhist community. Another high－ranking country with a large population of the followers of that religion is Sri Lanka, which ranked ninth in the Index.Malaysia's high jump in the ranking, from 71st place to 7th, was attributed to the outpouringof the humanitarian aid after the destructive Typhoon Haiyan hit the neighboring Philippines.In Africa, Kenya has moved 18 places up this year, ranking 15th in the global index. It's themost charitable country in the continent, ahead of larger economies like Nigeria, which is in the 21st place, and South Africa with ranks 34th.Africans are also three times more likely to extend a helping hand to strangers than donate money or volunteer, which seems to show that they are more likely to show their generosity through community support than formalized channels.From a global perspective, the report concludes that the diverse nature of the top giving countries signals that regardless of geography or culture, people universally appear to respond to those in need.()58.

America took the lead in charitable givingB. people have more faith in humanity nowadaysC. most people are willing to lend a hand when necessaryD. some poor countries are more likely to show their generosityCBiologists believe that love is fundamentally a biological rather than a cultural construct,because the capacity for love is found in all human cultures and similar behaviour is found insome other animals. In humans the purpose of all the desire is to focus attention on the raising of offspring. Children demand an unusual amount of parenting, and two parents are better than one. Love is a signal that both partners are committed, and makes it more likely that this commitmentwill continue as long as necessary for children to reach independence. But what does science haveto say about the notion of love at first sight?In recent years the ability to watch the brain in action has offered a wealth of insight into the mechanics of love. Researchers have shown that when a person falls in love, a dozen differentparts of the brain work together to release chemicals that trigger feelings of euphoria, bonding and excitement. It has also been shown that the unconditional love between a mother and a child is associated with activity in different regions of the brain from those associated with pair－bonding love.Passionate love is rooted in the reward circuitry of the brain—the same area that is activewhen humans feel a rush from cocaine. In fact, the desire, motivations and withdrawals involvedin love have a great deal in common with addiction. Its most intense forms tend to be associatedwith the early stages of a relationship, which then give way to a calmer attachment form of loveone feels with a long－term partner.What all this means is that one special person can become chemically rewarding to the brainof another. Love at first sight, then, is only possible if the mechanism for generating long－term attachment can be triggered quickly. There are signs that it can be. One line of evidence is that people are able to decide within a second how attractive they find another person. This decision appears to be related to facial attractiveness, although men may favour women with waist－to－仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度hip ratio of 0.7, no matter what their overall weight is. (This ratio may indicate a woman's reproductive health)Another piece of evidence comes from work by a psychologist at Ben－Gurion University,who found in a survey that a small percentage (11%) of people in long－term relationships said that they began with love at first sight. In other words, in some couples the initial favorable impressions of attractiveness triggered love which sustained a lengthy bond. It is also clear that some couples need to form their bonds over a longer period, and popular culture tells many tales of friends who become lovers.One might also assume that if a person is looking for a partner with traits that cannot be quantified instantly, such as compassion, intellect or a good sense of humour, then it would be hard to form a relationship on the basis of love at first sight. Those more concerned with visual appearances, though, might find this easier. So it appears that love at first sight exists, but is not a very common basis for long－term relationships.()62. When a person falls in love, ________．A. he feels as if he were addicted to cocaineB. he will be committed to the beloved as long as necessaryC. he will experience complex feelings brought on by different regions of his brainD. he will experience a calmer attachment form of love before he feels the extreme love()63. We can infer from the passage that ________．A. pair－bonding love comes from a long stable friendshipB. the mechanism for creating long－term attachment ensures love at first sightC. it is impossible for those ordinary－looking people to fall in love at first sightD. men may be attracted by a girl whose figure suggests her admirable reproductive capacity()64. The underlined word “traits”in the last paragraph probably means ________．A. characteristics of your behaviourB. something typical in your temperC. particular qualities in your personalityD. attitudes that show your moral standards()65. Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?A. The Stages of Passionate Love仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度B. The Science of Love at First SightC. The Biological Construct of Pair－Bonding LoveD. The Mechanism for Generating Long－Term LoveDErnest Hemingway was not only a commanding figure in 20th－century literature, but wasalso a_pack_rat. He saved even his old passports and used bullfight tickets, leaving behind one ofthe longest paper trails of any author.“Ernest Hemingway: Between Two Wars”，which opens on Friday at the Morgan Library& Museum, is the first major museum exhibition devoted to Hemingway and his work. The largest and most interesting section focuses on the '20s, Hemingway's Paris years, and reveals a writer we might have been in danger of forgetting:Hemingway_before_he_became_Hemingway．The exhibition does not fail to include pictures of the bearded, manly, Hem. He's shownposing with some kudu he has just shot in Africa and on the bridge of his beloved fishing boat, the Pilar, with Carlos Gutiérrez, the fisherman who became the model for “The Old Man and the Sea”. But the first photo the viewer sees is a big blowup of a handsome, clean－shaven, 19－year－old standing on crutches. This is from the summer of 1918, when Hemingway was recoveringfrom wounds at the Red Cross hospital in Milan and trying to turn his wartime experiences into fiction.The evidence at this exhibition suggests that, in the early days, he often wrote in pencil,mostly in cheap notebooks but sometimes on whatever paper came to hand. The first draft of theshort story “Soldier's Home”was written on sheets he appeared to have snatched from a telegraph office. The impression you get is of a young writer seized by inspiration and sometimes barreling ahead without an entirely clear sense of where he is going.F. Scott Fitzgerald (some of whose letters with Hemingway is also on view) famously urgedhim to cut the first two chapters of “The Sun Also Rises”，complaining about the “elephantine facetiousness”of the beginning, and Hemingway obliged, getting rid of a clunky opening thatnow seems almost “meta”. In 1929, in a nine－page penciled critique, Fitzgerald also suggested numerous revisions for “A Farewell to Arms”. Hemingway took some of these, but less graciously, and soon afterward his friendship with Fitzgerald came to an end.The papers at the Morgan show a Hemingway who is not always sure of himself. There are仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度running lists of stories he kept fiddling with, and there are lists and lists of possible titles,including the 45 he considered for “Farewell”and 47 different endings for the novel.In display case after display case, you see Hemingway during his Paris years inventing and reinventing himself, discovering as he goes along just what kind of writer he wants to be. In amoving 1925 letter to his parents, who refused to read “In Our Time”，his second story collection, he writes: “You see I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual lifeacross —not just to describe life —or criticize it —but to actually make it alive. So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing. You can't do this withoutputting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful.”By the time the Second World War broke out, Hemingway had solidified into the iconicfigure we now remember: Papa. Even J. D. Salinger calls him this. And a blustery, cranky Hemingway appears in 1949 when aboard the Pilar he grabs an old fishing diary and begins scrawling an angry letter to Harold Ross, the editor of The New Yorker, complaining about Alfred Kazin's review of “Across the River and into the Trees”，not, in truth, a very good book. But, Hemingway, often drinking and depressed, didn't know it, his best work was behind him by then.()66. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined words “a pack rat”in Paragraph 1?A. a person who doesn't waste anythingB. a person who cannot be relied onC. a person who likes to collect rubbishD. a person who enjoys collecting things()67. How many of Hemingway's works are mentioned in this passage?A. 4.B. 5.C. 6.D. 7.()68. We can conclude from the Morgan show that sometimes Hemingway was a person________．A. unconfident but full of inspirationsB. stubborn but full of enthusiasm about loveC. casual but full of heroismD. bad－tempered but full of strange habits()69. What does the writer truly mean by saying “Hemingway before he became Hemingway”？A. Hemingway wrote many masterpieces before he killed himself.B. Hemingway was once a war correspondent before he became a famous writer.C. Hemingway devoted all his strengths to writing before he won the Nobel Prize.仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度D. Hemingway kept exploring the world and adjusting himself before he became acommanding figure in literature.()70. According to the Morgan show, readers are likely to see ________ in Hemingway'sworks.①tough men who can't be defeated②anti－war fighters③the dark side of the worldas well as its beauty④love affairs between a man and a woman⑤the story of a family businessA. ①③B. ②④C. ①⑤D. ③⑤第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共35分)第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词.注意：每个空格只填1个单词.Following one million middle－aged women in Britain for 10 years, a study finds that thewidely held view that happiness enhances health and longevity is unfounded.The results come from the so－called Million Women Study, which took on women aged 50to 69 from 1996 to 2001, and tracked them with questionnaires and official records of deaths and hospital admissions. The questionnaires asked how often the women felt happy, in control, relaxed and stressed, and also instructed them to rate their health and list ailments like high blood pressure, diabetes, depression or anxiety.When the answers were analyzed statistically, unhappiness and stress were not associatedwith an increased risk of death. It is not clear whether the conclusion applies to men.Professor Peto said particularly important data came from 500，000 women who reported thatthey were in good health, with no history of heart disease, cancer or stroke. A minority of these healthy women said they were stressed or unhappy, he said, but over the next decade they were no more likely to die than the women who were generally happy.“This finding refutes(驳斥)the large effects of unhappiness and stress on deathrate thatothers have claimed，”Dr. Peto said. Unhappiness itself may not affect health directly, but it cando harm in other ways, by driving people to suicide, alcoholism or other dangerous behaviors, he warned.This type of study, in which people involved depend on their self－assessments, is not仔细审题、认真作答．。
