Sometimes, I‟d have some vivid dreams, mak ing me 16for a moment. I would stare out into the darkness to see if anything was there and then 17over and go back to sleep. I can still remember a few times when I woke up, 18out into the darkness, and actually 19someone there. It was Mom 20 over me as I slept. Each time she 21told me to go back to sleep and I closed my eyes again, feeling 22 and loved.I 23asked Mom why she watched me sleep from time to time, but 24seeing my ownchildren 25so fast, I think I know why. She wanted to catch a moment in time and 26it in her heartforever. I just 27that she carried a lot of those moments with her into Heaven when she 28at only 55.Last night I was sleeping lightly 29I suddenly felt someone near me. I opened my eyes and sawMom‟s 30standing in the room, smiling at me. And then she was gone.Now 31may say that this was just a dream, a wish or part of an old 32. To me, though, itwas 33that Mom‟s loving spirit was still watching over me. To me, it was evidence enough to know that one day I would be 34with her and everyone I have ever loved.Trust in their love. Know that your own life can be full of 35, too.

She has never turned on a computer, registered an email account, used data storage media or searched the Internet. Since 1955, she has settled in Silicon Valley, married to an extremely technical specialist in applied physics and engineering, designing photometric systems for NASA . Only when Dad suffered from cancer could we convince her she needed a cell phone. Mom‟s being separated from the information age is voluntary and deliberate.Mom is still that farm girl, a nd she takes the most pride in it. She sees her neighbor and her community “real”. She shows no interest in the digital and virtual life. My mother saw Depression, World War II and the beginning of the Cold War before reaching voting age. She enjoyed count ry music on “The Sons of the Pioneers”, a Canadian broadcast. The battery was so precious a resource that radio was limited to the barn because Grandma thought it helped cows produce milk. In the age when Churchill moved millions for the first time with radio broadcasts, she only experienced live media monthly, if at all.In her early twenties, Mom completed nurses‟ training and worked in that field before marriage, family and church became her life‟s concerns. She never really warmed up to television, thou gh I think she appreciated a few of the series we watched, comedies like all in the Family. Computers, the Internet and mobile apps are simply not part of her experience.Mom disagrees with the opinion that technology simplifies life. In her life, she sees online records, email and paperless systems as mysteries in which no written reference can assist her.However, I can partly understand: I like such kind of experience and relationship one has with physical books. I am a child of television who only recen tly switched to online viewing. I‟ve written down my awkward, love-hate relationship with my devices. Mom‟s technophobia surely played a role here, but it works for her. She‟s happiest as she is.36．The author‟s mother began to use mobile phone when______.A.she found it hard to contact with her husbandB.she settled in Silicon Valley for fifty yearsC.she got married to a technical specialistD.her husband suffered from cancer37．What is the auth or‟s mother most proud of according to the passage?A.Having so many close neighbors.B.Experiencing too much all her life.C.Living simply and in her own style.D.Being involved in modern technology.38．What is the author‟s attitude towards his mother‟s such kind of experience?A.Critical.B.Positive.C.Neutral.D.Negative.39．It is implied in the underlined sentence that______.A.the author should make efforts to learn from his motherB.the author prefers watching movies online to watching TVC.Mom’s attitude towards technology has an effect on the authorD.Mom should also set down the relationship with physical booksBIf it really is what‟s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.Some doctors now think that the internal(内部的) fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“Being thin doesn‟t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bel l and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits(储蓄, 沉淀物)of internal fat, even if they are slim.Even people with normal Bo dy Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes(糖尿病). They want to prove that internal fat damages the body‟s communication systems.The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no shortcut. Exercise has to be an i mportant part of your lifestyle.” Bell said. 41．What is the passage mainly about?A.Internal fat leads to many diseases.B.Internal fat is of no importance.C.Thin people may be fat inside.D.Thin people don’t have diabetes.42．According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A.Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.B.Pe ople with heart disease all have internal fat.C.Men are more likely to have too much internal fat.D.People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.43．From the last paragraph, we can find that ______.A.internal fat leading to disease has been provedB.it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fatC.thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slimD.exercise plays an important role in people’s life for keeping healthy44．The underlined part in the last paragraph means ______.A.long roadB.clear differenceC.short distanceD.easy wayCResearchers are placing robotic dogs(机器狗)in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old people‟s depression, physical activity, and life satisfaction. “No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated(刺激),”Edwards points out. “The problem is how wepromote(使……成为现实)that, especially for those without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution.”In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.“I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady, “When I‟m watching TV, he‟ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.“At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog, because it was metal and notfurry(毛皮的).” Beck says. “But it‟s amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.”“Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper. They will record their masters‟ blood pressure, oxygen levels, or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older people‟s minds.”44．The purpose of Beck and Edwards‟ study is to__________.A.understand human-animal relationshipB.make lonely old people’s life betterC.find the causes of old people’s lonelinessD.promote the animal-assisted research45．In the research, the old people are asked to__________.A.note the activities of AIBOsB.keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeksC.record their feelings and activityD.analyze the collected information46．What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?A.It is easier to keep at home.B.It can help the disabled people.C.It responds to all the human orders.D.It can watch TV with its owner.47．The author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may__________.A.cure certain diseasesB.keep old people activeC.change people’s beliefsD.look more like real dogsDCarrot juice, because of its many healthy benefits, is commonly called the "magic juice". It has been found that adding carrot juice to people‟s diets greatly improves their health. And its delicious taste makes it popular with all members of the family as a beverage.Carrot juice is one of the richest sources of vitamin A that can be used in the daily diet. Lack of vitamin A can cause dryness and damage to the skin, nails and hair. Drinking carrot juice to increase the vitamin A in the diet is said to be good for many parts of the body, including the bones and teeth.Drinking carrot juice is thought to be extremely helpful to the liver (肝脏), because vitamin A helps to clean the liver and reduce fat in it. And it is suggested that drinking carrot juice should be done regularly, rather than just from time to time.Drinking carrot juice is also thought to improve the eyesight because of the vitamin A in the juice. Lack of vitamin A can lead to night blindness, which can be very dangerous, especially when the person is driving a car. An easy way to find out if you are lacking in vitamin A is to walk from a bright room into a dark roo m. Your eyes may have some trouble in getting used to the change of light if you are lacking in vitamin A.How can you make carrot juice? Wash some carrots well in cold water. Scrape (刮) them lightly, but do not peel them, as this will take away valuable vitamins and minerals that lie close to the skin.48．Lack of vitamin A can lead to _____.A.broken bonesplete blindnessC.skin drynessD.liver cancer49.A ccording to the passage, carrot juice ______.A.does a lot of good to the teeth and other parts of the bodyB.is popular because it is a magic cure for many diseasesC.can wash away the waste from the bodyD.may be harmful to the body if it’s drunk too much50．We can learn from the fourth paragraph that _____.A.you will find it easy to get used to the change of light if you lack vitamin AB.driving cars at night may lead to night blindnessC.walking from a bright room into a dark room may lead to night blindnessD.drinking carrot juice helps to protect your eyesight51．Which would be the best title for this passage?A.Tips on How to Make Carrot JuiceB.The Great Benefits of Carrot JuiceC.The Way to Keep Good HealthD.A Healthy Diet for PatientsEAs a young child I never really thought about my parents' lives in Irvine, how small their world must have seemed, never extending beyond the Dragon Cafe. Every day my parents did the same jobs in the restaurant. I watched the same customers come for meals, for morning coffee, for afternoon soft drinks and French fries. For my parents one day was like the next. They settled into an uneasy and distant relationship with each other. Their love, their tenderness, they gave to me.But my life was changing. I became taller and bigger, my second teeth grew in white and straight. At school I began to learn about my adopted country. I spoke English like a native, without a trace of an accent. I played, thought, and dreamed in the language of our Irvine neighbors. A few years later and I would no longer remember a time when I didn't speak their words and read their books. But my father and Uncle Yat still spoke the same halting English. My mother spoke only a few words. I began to translate conversations they had with the customers, switching between English and Chinese. Whenever I stepped outside the restaurant it seemed I was entering a world unknown to my family: school, church, friends' houses, the town beyond Main Street. I found it hard to imagine a year without winter any more, a home other than Irvine.For my mother, though, home would always be China. In Irvine she lived among strangers, unable to speak their language. Whenever she talked about happy times, they were during her childhood in that distant land. A wistful smile would soften her face as she told me about sleeping and playing with her sister in the attic above her parents' bedroom. She once showed me a piece of jade-green silk cloth that was frayed and worn around the edge. In the center was a white lotus floating in varying shades of blue water, the embroidery so fine that when I held it at arm's length the petals looked real. I had been helping her store away my summer clothes in the brown leather suitcase from Hong Kong when I noticed a piece of shiny material in the corner and asked her what it was. She took it out and spread it on her lap. "My mother embroidered this herself. I was going to have it made into a cushion, but then my life changed and over here there seems to be no place for lovely things. It's all I have that reminds me of her," she said. "Maybe, Su-Jen, one day you will do something with it." I admired the cloth some more, then she carefully folded it and stored it back in her suitcase.There was so little left from her old life. She said it was so long ago that sometimes it felt as if it had never happened. But she described her life with such clarity and vividness that I knew all those memories lived on inside her. There was so little in this new country that gave her pleasure. The good things she found were related in some way to China: an aria from a Chinese opera, a letter from a relative back home or from Aunt Hai-Lan in Toronto, written in Chinese, a familiar-looking script that I couldn't read and that had nothing to do with my life in Canada. There were times when I felt _________about my own happiness in Irvine. We had come to Canada because of me, but I was the only one who had found a home.52．The primary purpose of the second paragraph is to ________________.A.provide insight into the motivations of the narrator's parents and uncleB.recapture the pleasure the narrator experienced in learning a new languageC.emphasize the extent of the transformation the narrator undergoesD.describe the complex interrelationships in the narrator's family53．The writer‟s mother's memories of China are portrayed as __________________.A.distant yet enduringB.occasional yet overwhelmingC.lively but confusedD.wistful and indistinct54．Fill in the blank of the last paragraph with one of the following words that best fit the context and the theme.A.confusedB.exhilaratedC.concernedD.guilty55．Which of the following best characterizes the narrator's development over the course of the passage?A.She grows apart from the cultural tradition of her parents.B.She overcomes the fear she felt about the new land.C.She begins to view the inhabitants of Irvine from her mother's perspective.D.She becomes less and less interested in her mother's stories.四、七选五：共5题每题2分共10分I teach economics at UNLV. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been. 56 He then asked me why I always seemed to be so cheerful. His question reminded me of something I‟d read somewhere before: “Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about h ow you want to approach life that day,” I said.“____ 57____”“Let me give you an example,” I continued. This university is 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. ____ 58____I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn‟t turn over. So I put my flashers on and marched down the road to the college.”“As soon as I got there .I arranged for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. A teacher asked me what had happened. …This is my lucky day,‟ I replied, smiling at her. …____ 59____What do you mean?‟ She continued to ask. …I live 17 miles from here. My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn‟t. Instead, it broke down off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I‟m still able to teach my class and arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. I explained to her. ”“Her eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. ____ 60____” So ended my story.I scanned the sixty faces. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them. In fact, it had a ll started with a student‟s observation that I was cheerful.A. I choose to be cheerful.B. You‟re your own master.C. But just then my car died.D. I smiled back and headed for class.E. One‟s life depends on one‟s attitude.F. Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?G. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good.第II卷（非选择题）五、短文改错：共10分62．In order to help students developing their abilities in all fields, our school now has asked the teachers to make some change in the grading sy stem. The students‟ final score will be made up of 5 parts.About 30% of them will come from your test results. 20% comes from your notes, and other 20% is decided by how you do your homework. If you take the active part in classroom activities, you can get another 20% of the score. Teamwork inclass are also important. If you want a high score, you should be good at working together with your classmates. In my opinion, our school has made a good decision. To begin with, this new grading system has been changed the way the students' performances in school only depended upon their test results. It will also certain help to improve ourselves in many ways.六、书面表达：共35分63．你校学生会举办捐助活动以资助贫困地区儿童上学。

She makes such good use of herother 16, including her "sixth sense", that she hardly gives the impression that shehas 17anything. Jennifer looks after her children much like the rest of us, 18that she doesn’t push too hard on them, 19really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, and she moves around so fast that 20often don't realize she's blind.I 21this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very 22about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was 23excited about her finger-painting project.“Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to 24colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Jennifer 25with us”. To my great 26, my child had learnt about color from a blind friend! Then Kayla continued, “Jennifer told me my 27showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment(成就感). She really 28 what I was d oing!” Kayla said she had never known how good finger paints felt 29Jennifer showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.I realized Kayla didn't know that Jennifer was blind. It had just never 30in conversation. When I told my daughter that Jennifer was blind, she was 31for a moment. At first, she didn't believe me. “But Mommy, Jennifer knew exactly what was in my picture!”Kayla 32. And I knew my child was 33 because Jennifer had listened to Kayla describe her art work. Jennifer had also heard Kayla's 34in her work.We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Jennifer really did ‘see’ my picture.

According to the BBC, the explanation lies in your brain's ability to discover signals from the outside world.When your phone is in your pocket, there are two possible states: it is either vibrating ornot.Meanwhile, you also have two possible states of mind: the judgment that the phone is vibrating, or that it isn't.Ideally, you match the four states correctly.However, sometimes your brain decides that the consequences of missing a call are more serious than a "false alarm".Therefore, you become more sensitive to vibrations so that you don't miss anything.This is just like the fire alarm in your home --- it can be annoying when it goes off in response to just a tiny bit of smoke.But that's a small price to pay compared to a fire really breaking out because the alarm fails to alert you.Now, you might still ask: why can't our brains just make every judgment correctly without being too sensitive to false signals?The answer is that your brain bears a heavy burden every day.“You get a large amount of sensory information that's coming from your eyes, ears and skin, and you can't deal with all thatinformation all the time," Michael Rothberg, a researcher at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, US, told Live Science.For example, the rustling （沙沙声）of clothing or the growling （咕咕声）of your stomach may both lead your brain to believe that they come from the vibration of your phone -it is like trying to hear your name being called in a noisy room.So, perhaps you should just check your phone whenever you think it's vibrating.It's not too much trouble to do that, is it?36．According to this passage, phantom phone vibration _____.A.is common among people with mental problemsB.can measure people's ability to collect informationC.happens when our brains react sensitively to false signalsD.helps our brains to make quick and accurate decisions37．According to Michael Rothberg, which is mainly responsible for phantom phone vibration?A.A noisy background.B.A lack of much attention.C.A heavy burden every day.D.An overflow of sensory information.38．Why is the fire alarm used as an example in this passage?A.To help us understand the cause of phantom phone vibration better.B.To show us the fire alarm is as sensitive as the phone vibration.C.To tell us the phone vibration usually happens when a fire breaks out.D.To convince us it's important to check our phones like checking a fire alarm.39．What does the author suggest we do about phantom phone vibration?A.We should always fully believe our own sense of listening.B.We should just check our phones whenever we think they're vibrating.C.We should ignore the vibration bothering when our phones are actually still.D.We should think of the vibration carefully before we make correct judgments.BIf you come across the news of the death of Mr. Bean (actor Rowan Atkinson) on your Facebook account and you are curious to know more by opening a link, then think twice. Because the news is fake, a message about his suicide.The fake news created tense moments for the fans of Atkinson who were curious to know why the actor took the step. Apparently, rumours said that the 58-year-old actor took his life after a producer dropped him from Johnny English3. Later, it was found that both the news were fake. Such rumours have their origins in social platforms, where it is not easy to track who made them. Trishneet Arora, ethical hacker from the city, said: "Culprits are aware that Facebook does not store data on its servers, so the chances of getting tracked are less with such platforms. Many rumours have been spread using such platforms. Since one cannot stop the culprits, users should always cross-check the news with news websites, and only then believe these. On platforms like Facebook, one should resist clicking on any links, because it can pass on your login and password details to the hackers. Besides, one should forward news links only after checking out from reputed news websites."So, if you click on his so-called "suicide video", you could unwittingly install malware(恶意软件)in your system through which the hacker can access your personal details like logins and passwords.Ankit Aggarwal, a resident of Tagore Nagar, said: "I have also been a great fan of actor Rowan Atkinson, so the news of his death was quite shocking for me. The moment I read it, I shared the same on my wall. Later, through a friend, who had done her research well on the news, I got to know the news was false. So, I immediately removed the post from my wall and also asked my friends on Facebook not to forward the same news."Many stars in the past, including Jackie Chan, Will Smith, Angelina Jolie, and Miley Cyrus, have become victims to such death hoaxes(恶作剧). No police official was available for any comment. 40．The news that Mr. Bean committed suicide .A.was to play a joke on Rowan AtkinsonB.disclosed the dark side of moviesC.made the fans of Atkinson worriedD.intended to destroy computer system 41．According to the rumours we can know .A.Mr. Bean wasn’t satisfied with Johnny English3B.the producer decided not to use Mr. Bean in a filmC.Mr. Bean failed to act well on the social platformsD.the audiences liked making fun of the famous comedian42．When you open a link of fake news .A.you will feel disappointed at the newsB.you will be deeply hurt by the hackersC.your computer system will be changed in no timeD.your personal information will be given away43．Ankit Aggarwal immediately removed the post .A.because he thought the news aimed to trick readersB.as soon as he read the news on his Facebook accountC.after he had done a lot of research about the newsD.when he was told that the news was falseCErica and Steve Lineberry have been rock climbing since 2005. They were first introduced to it while visitng a family in Montana. Now they are at climbing centers, like Inner Peaks in Charlotte, three times a week, and on weekends they climb outdoors.Steve said they first started climbing as part of their exercise. Years later, he lost 60 pounds. But as the couple’s interest in the sport grew, they consulted some mentors and started climbing outdoors.Then Erica got pregnant. "Most people think that rock climbing and pregnan cy don’t go very well together," Erica said. But with lots of places to go, Erica kept climbing through her pregnancy. Then her son, Canaan, was born. She says the baby immediately started participating in the family sport. "He went to the gym the first time with us at four weeks old, and then we took our first outdoor trip, just a day trip, at six weeks old with him."Now Canaan is three-year-old, and Erica is once again pregnant: 7 months along. During her first pregnancy, she blogged about climbing while pregnant. Now her website is a top resource for families who rock climb. Erica said, "I think a lot of people will say, they’ll wait a few years until they get into an easier age or an easier life phase with their kids. And I think if they wa it for that they’re going to wait forever." Her message to women is to quickly climb back into the things you love; and that your life is not over once you are a mother. website is quickly becoming the face of mommy rock climbing. She contributes to a handful of climbing magazines. Outdoor equipment companies ask her to wear and use their gear(设备). And her website is a popular resource for families who are not only interested in climbing with their children, but also interested in taking on other adventures too.44．What does the author intend to tell in the passage?A.A family who love rock climbing.B.A couple who learn how to climb.C.A woman who is brave to climb.D.A story about a pregnant woman.45．Which can replace the underlined word "mentors"?A.Friends.B.Students.C.Teachers.D.Leaders.46．It can be inferred from the third paragraph that .A.Erica never cared about her unborn babyB.rock climbing does good to pregnant womenC.Canaan fell in love with climbing at four weeksD.Erica is really a courageous and fearless woman47．Who will visit website?A.The women who expect to have babies.B.The families who have brought up a child.C.The women who have sympathy for Erica.D.The families who take interest in rock climbing.DIt can be hard to meet people from another culture. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal（信号）. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize （强调）the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usu ally over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries--like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment（多元文化环境）will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other. 48．In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to ________.A.keep each other companyB.share the same CultureC.get to know each otherD.develop closer relations49．The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _________.A.even talk and silence can be culturally differentB.too many words are of no useC.people from Thailand are quiet and shy by natureD.the English prefer to make long speeches50．According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?A.By sharing different ways of life.B.By recognizing different values.C.By accepting different habits.D.By speaking each other’s langu ages. 51．What would be the best title for the text?A.Multicultural Environment.B.How to Understand Each Other.C.Cross-Cultural Differences.D.How to Build Up a Relationship.EI decided to cut my front lawn (草坪) today, especially since I live on a main street downtown with lots of traffic. I finished mine and decided to cut my neighbor —Joan’s grass while I was good at it. She is a sweet person who has gone through some trying times in the last year. Her brother passed away because of cancer last year, and her sister (who lives with her) was mentally challenged — yet so sweet!It was a difficult time with physical and mental challenges that led her employer in our local hospital to let her go after 25 years of service! Lastly, my neighbor Joan, who is a nurse in our local hospital was diagnosed with esophageal(食道) cancer in December. She went through radiation and a long recovery — but thankfully she is in remission(缓解).Anyway, in short I was leaving my house this afternoon and she stopped me to thank me for cutting her grass. She told me her dad passed away on Friday and she just arrived home from the funeral service, so she didn’t know when she would have time to cut her grass. So, when she arrived home and saw it cut she was more than happy and grateful! I said to her, "You are welcome.It’s just a small act of kindness for a neighbor."I did it for exercise and pleasure, not knowing it meant more to her than just doing a neighbor a favor!52．Although a lot of unfortunate matters happened to Joan, she is still.A.pessimisticB.optimisticC.depressedD.disappointed 53．What’s the meaning of the underlined word "trying" in the first paragraph?A.Happy.B.Exciting.C.Simple.D.Hard.54．What can we learn from the first three paragraphs?A.Joan is unlucky.B.Joan lives happily.C.Joan has retired.D.Joan’s employer doesn’t like her.55．How does Joan feel about the author’s helping her cut grass?A.She feels sad.B.She feels only happy.C.She feels very happy and thankful.D.She feels easy.四、七选五：共5题每题2分共10分根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

And then there is the matter of their second child, who is 19soon. So things are a little tense for the Baker family these days. When Shannon and her daughter were walking through a store 20lot recently, Shannon picked up an envelope from the ground that 21$4,000 in cash. There were a 22of different interpretations (explanations) that could be considered. Was this a kind of good 23? Could it be an attempt by the universe to balance everything? Could it be simply a gift from God?Shannon didn’t know. The only thing she knew was that the cash in that envelope24to someone else. Oh, and one other thing she knew: Her young daughter was 25. “My kid was standing right there 26I found it,” Shannon told WLS-TV in Chicago. “So basically I wante d to teach my daughter how to be 27.

Otherwise it will become a negative record in their personal credit reports, which are playing an increasingly big role in people's daily lives. A story carried by Chongqing Morning Post in June, underlines this trend.According to the report, a Chongqing student borrowed money from the bank to finance his university studies. After he graduated in 2005, he went to work in Shenzhen. Later, he wanted to buy a house using loans. But several banks turned down his loan applications. The reason was that he had not paid back 1,500 yuan he borrowed from a bank when he was at university.A personal credit rating is becoming an essential “pass” in ev eryday life, as China establishes a nationwide credit database. Personal credit systems go back 150 years. In developed countries, enterprises and banks use them to decide whether or not to loan money or do other business with a person.A credit report estimates the credit worthiness of an individual, a company, or even a country. It is an evaluation made by credit bureaus of a borrower's overall credit history and his or her ability to repay debt. A poor credit rating means a high risk of defaulting on a loan, and thus leads to the refusal of a loan by the lender.Today in China, credit history in banks is the major content of a credit report. But in the future, reports will include information about the payment of telephone bills, water use fees, electricity and natural gas bills, and taxes, according to officials of the People's Bank of China, the central bank.Personal information such as appearance, genetic data, fingerprints, blood type, disease history, ethnic identity, family and religious beliefs are not to be included in credit reports, according to adraft regulation on credit rating issued last year by the Sate Council. The authors of the draft have just finished soliciting(征求) public opinions.The Credit Reference Center run by the People's Bank of China is in charge of developing a nationwide credit database. Credit reports for all people with bank transactions (交易)began in 2006.A personal credit rating is important to the social and economic activities of a person. According to the draft, if you have a personal negative credit record, it will be kept for five years. 36．The author took the story as an example in order to ________.A.warn us of the importance of our personal credit reportB.tell us the story of a Chongqing studentC.encourage us to use credits widelyrm us to apply for a loan at university37．Credit reports will include the following except ________.A.taxesB.telephone billsC.water use feesD.genetic data38．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Personal credit systems go back 150 years in China.B.You can turn to the People's Bank of China for the information about your credit report.C.Credit history in banks is the only content of a credit report.D.Credit reports began in 2006 in China.39．What's the best title for the passage?A.A Credit Report RatingB.Credit in ChinaC.Credit Really CountsD.Credit Report ContentsBChildren are delight, they are our future. But sadly, hiring someone to take care of them when you’re going to work is gett ing more expensive by the year.Earlier this month it was reported, that the cost of involving an infant or small kidata childcare centre rose 3 percent in 2012, faster than the general cost of living. There are now large strips ofthe country where daycare (日托) for an infant costs more than 10% of the average married couples’ income.This is not necessarily a new trend, but it is somewhat puzzling me. The price of professional childcare has been rising since the 1980s. Yet during that time, pay for professional childcare workers has stood still. Actually caregivers (护理员) earn less today than they did in 1990. Considering that labor costs are responsible for about 80% of a daycare center’s expenses, one would infer that stable wages means stable prices.So who is to blame for higher child care costs?Childcare is a carefully regulated industry. States lay down rules about how many children each employee is allowed to watch over, the space care centers need per child, and other details. And the stricter the regulations are, the higher the costs will be. In Massachusetts, where childcare centers must hire one teacher for every three infants, the price of care averaged more than$ 16,000 per year. In Mississippi, where centers must hire one teacher for every five infants, the price of care averaged less than $5,000.Unfortunately I don’t have all the daycare center regulations, but I wouldn’t be surprised if as the rules have become more complicated, prices have risen. The tradeoff (交换) might be worth it in certain cases; after all, the health and safety of children should probably come before cheap service. But certainly, it doesn’t seem to be an accident that some of the cheapest daycare available is in the least regulated South.40．What problem do parents of small kids have to face?A.The ever-rising child care prices.B.The budgeting of family expenses.C.The balance between work and family.D.The selection of a good daycare center41．What does the author feel puzzled about?A.Why the prices of child care vary greatly from state to state.B.Why increased child care prices have not led to better service.C.Why childcare workers’ pay has not increased with the rising childcare costsD.Why there is a severe shortage of childcare professionals in a number of states.42．What prevents child care centers from saving money?A.Steady increase in labor costs.B.Strict government regulations.ck of support from the state.D.High administrative expenses.43．What is the author’s view on a daycare service?A.Caregivers should receive regular professional training.B.Less complicated rules about childcare might lower costs.C.It is vital to strike a balance between quality and costs.D.It is better for different States to learn from each other.CI was born in Korea, and my f amily came over to America when I was 10. I’m the middle child of three girls, and my parents moved so we would experience a different life. They did it for our education and to give us more of a chance than they had. We moved to Staten Island, and I went to the High School of Performing Arts in New York City. My parents were depressed when I told them I wanted to be an actress. My father suggested I try premed(医学预科). But after they saw me in plays they were really proud.I graduated from Boston University and was doing theater in New York when I got cast in a Korean miniseries(电视连续剧). We started shooting the show in New York, and then went to Korea to finish it up. They said I would be there for three weeks, but it ended up being two months.

I kept thinking, “ I’ll do one more and then go back to the US.” I ended up staying for seven years.Some people described me as the Julia Roberts of Korea, which is a bad comparison because she’s the queen of romantic comedy.

She told the cab driver to drive quickly. She was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she was not aware that they was going by a different route. Suddenly, a man got inside the cab. He took her handbag where she had placed her visa, passport, and all her money for the trip. The driver, who was in cahoots with the robber, left her in the middle of the dark street. She cursed the world for being so mean to her and thought how unlucky she was in that situation.That very same night, she heard some shocking news. Tears flowed down her face. Flight 230, which was the plane that she was supposed to have boarded, had crashed. If she had not lost her precious belongings, she could have lost something far more important---her life.Sometimes bad things really happen. We lose money, fail our exams, or are rejected by others. There are times when nothing seems to go our way.So what should we do about it? Should we be disappointed? The answer is a resounding “No!” We must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the consistent faith that we will get what we deserve.Don’t waste your time and energy on things that can’t be changed. Continuous worrying will only affect your health and you’ll be doing much more damage than what was previously done.What if it was the other way around? What if we never ran out of good luck?There was a man who won the lottery. He thought he was the luckiest person in the world. He became greedy and wasted all his money on everything he could get his hands on. One day, he made it to the front page of the newspaper again. But this time, it was a different story. He had been killed because of his riches.If you attain good luck, you can never be too secure about it. Hope for protection and guidance. Life is so unpredictable. You never know what will happen next.Live one day at a time. We sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble. We ask ourselves: “What if I don’t get this done in time?” or “What if my family leave me and I’ve got no one else to turn to?”Live for the moment. Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine. Believe me. And believe in yourself. As Captain Planet always says, “The power is yours!”52．The underline phrase “was in cahoots with” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_____”.A.was forced byB.had cooperated withC.was fighting bravely withD.was trying to beg53．From the passage, we learn that____________.A.robbers will get what they deserveB.some people just never run out of good luckC.the woman was lucky to miss her flightD.if you feel yourself lucky, you will continue to be so54．According to the author, which of the following is the right attitude to adopt towards life?A.Don’t waste your time and energy because time is limited.B.Worrying about what you don’t have means you miss out on opportunities for other things.C.Even when everything seems to be going well, we should keep fully alert.D.There’s no need to worry or get frustrated. Just believe in yourself.55．The stories are intended to tell us__________.A.fortune only favors the prepared mindB.misfortune might be a blessingC.gains and losses go hand in handD.we should save up for a rainy day四、七选五：共5题每题2分共10分What is the purpose of reading or studying? If you can't remember what you read or study, it will be a waste of time. 56One useful aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, "No, thank you, I'm just looking."? Both you and she know that if you aren't sure what you want, you are not likely to find it. But suppose you say instead, "Yes, thank you. I want a pair of sun glasses." She says,"Right this way, please.” It’s quite the same with your studying. If you choose a book, "just looking" for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing. 57Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying "to find out more about", "to understand the reasons for" and "to find out how"．58Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, "I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America"．Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better．Reading is not one single activity. 59As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately. But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read. You have a kind of mental conversation with the author．This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes. 60One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions. Facts can be checked by evidence. Opinions are one's own personal reactions．Another part of critical reading is judging sources. Still another part is drawing accurate inferences.A. This is an effective studying way.B. In other words, a good reader is a critical reader.C. You remember better when you know what you’re reading.D. At least two important processes go on at the same time.E. It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study.F. But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it.G. Perhaps you have already discovered some good ways to keep yourself from forgetting．第II卷（非选择题）五、短文改错：共1 0分61．Dear Ms. Smith,I am a secretary of the City Student Union.

While it is 23 for you to choose only the best for yourselves, that is the 24of your problems and stress. Beassured that the cup itself 25no quality to the coffee.

First there’s self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I’m not, I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA(personal bank account).I love how the singer Judy Garland put it. “Always be a first-class version(版本)of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody else.”Then there’s honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If you’ve ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you can’t do wrong and feel right. This following story by Jeff is a good example of that.In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn’t do well. I was really good at it. I would charge the m three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I’d write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off.At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn’t thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn’t do that anymore, because I wasn’t really helping them. They weren’t learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn’t helping me.It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But remember, every act of honesty is a deposit(储蓄) into your PBA and will build strength.36．The underlined part “appear through smoke and mirrors” in the first paragraph means______.A.be honestB.be unrealC.become cleare from an imagined world 37．Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland’s words?A.Be your true self rather than follow others.B.Don’t copy others or you can’t be the first class.C.Make efforts to be the first instead of the second.D.Don’t learn from others unless they’re excellent.38．What does the author expect to show by Jeff’s story?A.Honesty can be of great help.B.A bad thing can be turned into a good one.C.Helping others cheat can do good to nobody.D.One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds.39．In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express_______.A.one must be brave to be honestB.it’s difficult to be honest when others are notC.one should be honest when making a depositD.honesty in one’s actions can help him in the futureBAmong various programmes, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as they can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives.Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not fo r everyone. The show’s main viewers are middleclass Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show’s exploitation.40．Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are ____.A.more interestingB.more formalC.more detailedD.unusually popular 41．Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A.Family income planning.B.Nation hatred.C.A new type of robot.D.Street accident.42．We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_____.A.have become the only ones of its kindB.attract different peopleC.appear at different times of the dayD.exploit the weaknesses in human nature 43．Which statement about the passage is Not true? ______A.Jerry Springer show is like poisonous waste, so nothing can be learnt from it.B.The two kinds of talk shows are opposite in content.C.Opera Winfrey show is helpful for those middleclass AmericansD.Jerry Springer show attracts those who are young and in trouble.CAlmost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on January 1st. People may go to parties, dress in formal clothes -- like tuxedos (小礼服) and evening gowns, and drink champagne at midnight. During the first minutes of the New Year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the New Year by waking up early to watch the sun rise. They welcome the New Year with the first light of the sunrise.It is also a common Western custom to make a New Year’s promise, called a resolution. New Year’s resolutions usually include promises to try something new or change a bad habit in the new year.Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh (again). Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year.Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats the more good luck the person will have in the year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas (豇豆) for good luck -- but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them! 44．Which culture celebrates New Year in the morning?A.The passage doesn’t say.B.Spain.C.France.D.The United States.45．What is a resolution?A.Something you say.B.Something you eat.C.Something you burn.D.Something you wear.46．What is the topic of the fourth paragraph?A.Bringing good luck.B.Remembering the past.C.Planning for the next year.D.Keeping away from bad luck.47．Which is probably true about eating black-eyed peas on New Year?A.Black-eyed peas taste bad.B.The peas are very difficult to cook.C.One pea brings one day of luck.D.It is bad luck to eat a lot of black-eyed peas.DMusic died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high-school curriculum (课程).The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test，it is not the fault of drama and music classes—they are failing because the “academic” classes are not sufficient (充足的).It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete, well-rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through art—there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledge—certainly not a good preparation for the real world. 48．Music and drama are not included in the high school curriculum mainly because ________.A.the school is afraid of losing financial supportB.the school committee pays no attention to themC.the students are not interested in both of themD.the state standardized test is more important49．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The sufficiency of the classes determines students’ performance in the mastery test.B.Quite a few students are discouraged from learning music and art in today’s school system.C.Students can be musicians and artists only if they can afford private music lessons.D.The school committee completely influences students’ attitude towards the arts.50．We can learn that music and art can ________.A.make students round-shaped people in futureB.provide students with analytical thinkingC.prevent students graduation from high schoolD.motivate students in creativity and expression51．The best title of the passage can be ________.A.Who killed music and drama?B.Why is music so important?C.Can curriculum go without music?D.How to prepare for the real world?EThe most common problem that worries all of us today is the fear of insecurity. Life has become so competitive that every now and then we are struck(遭遇) by the fear of the unknown. With every new turn of events our self-confidence takes a blow. The biggest challenge before every person today is not to lose confidence in one’s ability.There are several reasons that affect a person’s self-confidence. The most important reason is lack of succ ess. Not being able to succeed affects one’s self-confidence greatly. This is when one begins to doubt his own ability. In many cases one’s self-confidence is low when he feels rejected by society. For example, a person who loses his job gives a wide berth to other people for fear of being questioned about his work. However, this isn’t right at all. One needs to think along positive lines in spite of failures. After all it is your life and you have every right to live your life as you wish.The challenge lies in not allowing your self-confidence to decrease. It is very important to believe in yourself. Self-belief is the secret to success. When success doesn’t come to you, you should not allow yourself belief to be affected. Always keep in mind that success is sure to come in time. So, there is nothing wrong with your ability. Whenever lack of success causes you to doubt yourability, don’t forget to remind yourself that quick success does not last long. Also remember not to compare yourself to others. These tips will do a world of good to your confidence.In order to be self-confident, you need to have a lifestyle that is right for you. Create one and live a life as you want to. Leave others to themselves.52．According to the text, what causes people to fear the unknown?A.The low abilities.B.The lack of security.C.The loss of self-confidence.D.The severe competition in life.53．What does the underlined phrase “give a wide berth to” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Introduce something to.B.Hold a birthday party for.C.Make friends with.D.Keep away from.54．What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.How to achieve success.B.How to keep one’s self-confidence.C.The challenges that one should overcome.D.The reasons that affect one’s self-confidence.55．In the author’s opinion, it’s important that one _____.A.should not forget his failuresB.should follow others’ adviceC.should not lose heartD.should adjust to life四、七选五：共5题每题2分共10分56The answer is that the government needs money for many things, for example to pay its army, to build public facilities and to buy goods from abroad, and only the people of the country can supply the money.57That is, a person pays according to the amount of his income. Whether he is a merchant, a doctor, a lawyer, a shopkeeper, a miner, or anything else, he must pay tax if his income is more than a certain amount. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money direct to the government.Another tax is paid on goods such as watches, jewelry, tobacco, wine, etc. When they are brought into a country, such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops. 58People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on things that they and their families need. We need policemen to catch thieves, and they must be paid what they earn; children need education and there must be schools and teachers; we want our streets to be kept clean, and the wages of men who do this kind of work have to be paid 59 And we cannot have an army without paying for it.60We have no real cause to complain when we are asked to pay taxes for the good of ourselves and for our fellow citizens.A. Why must we pay taxes?B. Why do people often complain?C. Taxes, therefore, cannot be avoided.D. Taxes, however, should be cancelled.E. One of the most important taxes is income tax.F. We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeeper.G. Above all, the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies.第II卷（非选择题）五、短文改错：共1题每题10分共10分61．Mrs. Brown was walking near a playground.

First there’s self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or doyou appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I’m not, I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA(personal bank account).I love how the singer JudyGarland put it. “Always be a first-class version(版本)of yourself, instead of a second-classversion of somebody else.”Then there’s honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with yourwhole itboss? If you’ve ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice howmakes you feel. Remember, you can’t do wrong and feel right. This following story by Jeff is agood example of that.In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn’t do well. I was really good at it. I would charge the m three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I’d write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off.At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn’t thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn’t do that anymore, because I wasn’t really helping them. They weren’t learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheatingcertainly wasn’t helping me.It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests,lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But remember, every act of honesty is a deposit(储蓄)into your PBA and will build strength.36．The underlined part “appear through smoke and mirrors” in the first paragraph means______.A.be honestB.be unrealC.become cleare from an imagined world37．Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland’s words?A.Be your true self rather than follow others.B.Don’t copy others or you can’t be the first class.C.Make efforts to be the first instead of the second.D.Don’t learn from others unless they’re excellent.38．What does the author expect to show by Jeff’s story?A.Honesty can be of great help.B.A bad thing can be turned into a good one.C.Helping others cheat can do good to nobody.D.One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds.39．In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express_______.A.one must be brave to be honestB.it’s difficult to be honest when others are notC.one should be honest when making a depositD.honesty in one’s actions can help him in the futureBAmong various programmes, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytimetelevision. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. Butno two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest,than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show as surprising as they can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love,sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark sideof society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives.Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the oppositedirection. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life.Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to knowyour neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society.Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not fo r everyone. The show’s main viewers are middleclassAmericans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s toug problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults ofsociety. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex,money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through theshow’s exploitation.40．Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are ____.A.more interestingB.more formalC.more detailedD.unusually popular41．Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A.Family income planning.B.Nation hatred.C.A new type of robot.D.Street accident.42．We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_____.A.have become the only ones of its kindB.attract different peopleC.appear at different times of the dayD.exploit the weaknesses in human nature43．Which statement about the passage is Not true? ______A.Jerry Springer show is like poisonous waste, so nothing can be learnt from it.B.The two kinds of talk shows are opposite in content.C.Opera Winfrey show is helpful for those middleclass AmericansD.Jerry Springer show attracts those who are young and in trouble.CAlmost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way.Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different timeson the calendar.In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on January 1st. People maygo to parties, dress in formal clothes -- like tuxedos (小礼服) and evening gowns, and drinkchampagne at midnight. During the first minutes of the New Year, people cheer and wish eachother happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the New Year by wakingup early to watch the sun rise. They welcome the New Year with the first light of the sunrise.It is also a common Western custom to make a New Year’s promise, called a resolution. NewYear’s resolutions usually include promises to try something new or change a bad habit in the newyear.Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year. Forexample, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with oldnewspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from thepast year are gone and the new year can start afresh (again). Other common traditions to keepaway bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying specialthings on the first day of the new year.Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s The more grapes a person eats the more good luck the person will have in the year. In France,people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyedpeas (豇豆) for good luck -- but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!44．Which culture celebrates New Year in the morning?A.The passage doesn’t say.B.Spain.C.France.D.The United States.45．What is a resolution?A.Something you say.B.Something you eat.C.Something you burn.D.Something you wear.46．What is the topic of the fourth paragraph?A.Bringing good luck.B.Remembering the past.C.Planning for the next year.D.Keeping away from bad luck.47．Which is probably true about eating black-eyed peas on New Year?A.Black-eyed peas taste bad.B.The peas are very difficult to cook.C.One pea brings one day of luck.D.It is bad luck to eat a lot of black-eyed peas.DMusic died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee whoignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high-school curriculum (课程).The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more importantthan a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics.Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass thetest or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test，it is not the fault ofdrama and music classes—they are failing because the “academic” classes are not sufficient (充足的).It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playinginstruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford privatemusic lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are notexposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth theinvestment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or supportand the cycle will continue.Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete, well-rounded people. It blocks thenatural sense to create and express feelings through art—there is more to life than the analyticalthinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate,but they will have limited knowledge—certainly not a good preparation for the real world.48．Music and drama are not included in the high school curriculum mainly because ________.A.the school is afraid of losing financial supportB.the school committee pays no attention to themC.the students are not interested in both of themD.the state standardized test is more important49．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The sufficiency of the classes determines students’ performance in the mastery test.B.Quite a few students are discouraged from learning music and art in today’s school system.C.Students can be musicians and artists only if they can afford private music lessons.D.The school committee completely influences students’ attitude towards the arts.50．We can learn that music and art can ________.A.make students round-shaped people in futureB.provide students with analytical thinkingC.prevent students graduation from high schoolD.motivate students in creativity and expression51．The best title of the passage can be ________.A.Who killed music and drama?B.Why is music so important?C.Can curriculum go without music?D.How to prepare for the real world?EThe most common problem that worries all of us today is the fear of insecurity. Life has becomeso competitive that every now and then we are struck(遭遇) by the fear of the unknown. Withevery new turn of events our self-confidence takes a blow. The biggest challenge before everyperson today is not to lose confidence in one’s ability.-confidence. The most important reason is lackThere are several reasons that affect a person’s self-confidence greatly. This is when oneof success. Not being able to succeed affects one’s self-confidence is low when he feels rejectedbegins to doubt his own ability. In many cases one’s selfby society. For example, a person who loses his job gives a wide berth to other people for fear ofbeing questioned about his work. However, this isn’t right at all. One needs to think along positive lines in spite of failures. After all it is your life and you have every right to live your life as youwish.The challenge lies in not allowing your self-confidence to decrease. It is very important to believein yourself. Self-belief is the secret to success. When success doesn’t come to you, you should not allow yourself belief to be affected. Always keep in mind that success is sure to come in time. So,there is nothing wrong with your ability. Whenever lack of success causes you to doubt yourability, don’t forget to remind yourself that quick success does not last long. Also remember not to compare yourself to others. These tips will do a world of good to your confidence.In order to be self-confident, you need to have a lifestyle that is right for you. Create one and livea life as you want to. Leave others to themselves.52．According to the text, what causes people to fear the unknown?A.The low abilities.B.The lack of security.C.The loss of self-confidence.D.The severe competition in life.53．What does the underlined phrase “give a wide berth to” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Introduce something to.B.Hold a birthday party for.C.Make friends with.D.Keep away from.54．What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.How to achieve success.-confidence.B.How to keep one’s selfC.The challenges that one should overcome.-confidence.D.The reasons that affect one’s self55．In the author’s opinion, it’s important that one _____.A.should not forget his failuresB.should follow others’ adviceC.should not lose heartD.should adjust to life四、七选五：共5题每题2分共10分56The answer is that the government needs money for many things, for example to pay itsarmy, to build public facilities and to buy goods from abroad, and only the people of the countrycan supply the money.57That is, a person pays according to the amount of his income. Whether he is a merchant, adoctor, a lawyer, a shopkeeper, a miner, or anything else, he must pay tax if his income is morethan a certain amount. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money direct to the government.。
