More information about Beginners Writing Project can be found at ____.A. /townerB. C. D. BIn the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment.In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indian, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions.Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and could n’t function.When Mrs. Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I’d got for problem No.14. “I…I didn’t get anything,” I answered and my face felt warm.“Correct,” she said.It turned out that the correct answer was zero.What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third, I would never make it as a mathematician.If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.61. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?A. It is wise to value on e’s time.B. It is important to make an effort.C. It is right to stick to one’s belief.D. It is enough to do the necessary.62. Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to ___.A. recite their homework togetherB. grade their homework questions orallyC. answer their homework questionsD. check the answers to their homework questions63. The author could work out which question to answer since the teacher always ___.A. asked questions in a regular wayB. walked up and down when asking questionsC. chose two or three questions for the studentsD. requested her students to finish their usual questions64. The author failed to get the questions he had expected because ____.A. the class did n’t begin as usualB. several students didn’t come to schoolC. he did n’t try hard to make his estimateD. Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class65. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. An Unforgettable TeacherB. A Future MathematicianC. An Effective ApproachD. A Valuable LessonCThe behavior of a building’s users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emission (排放) by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own – though extremely important –is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behavior of the people using the building has to change too.The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率), which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.“Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,”explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher, “consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design.” In other words, old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home.Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill-payers don’t have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information, it’s hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈) facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors, could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behavior directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.Social science research has added a further dimension (方面), suggesting that individuals’behavior in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted –whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (位温器), for example.Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about building and their own behavior in them.66. As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of ___.A. zero-carbon homesB. the behavior of building usersC. sustainable building designD. the reduction of carbon emission67. The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to “____”.A. the waysB. their homesC. developmentsD. existing efforts68. What are Katy Janda’s words mainly about?A. The importance of changing building users’ habits.B. The necessity of making a careful building design.C. The variety of consumption patterns of building users.D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.69. The information gap in energy use ___.A. can be bridged by feedback facilitiesB. affects the study on energy monitorsC. brings about problems for smart metersD. will be caused by building users’ old habits70. What does the dimension added by social science research suggest?A. The social science research is to be furthered.B. The education programme is under discussion.C. The behavior of building users is unpredictable.D. The behavior preference of building users is similar.Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Many of us invest valuable time, energy and money planning our vacations. We do this because we know for sure that going on vacations must be good for us. Research proves this feeling without a doubt. Vacations help us perform better at work, improve our sleep quality and cushion us against depression.Yet, despite these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK –but not great. In order to change this, some mistakes should be avoided. A classic one for vacation planners is attempting to maximize value for money by planning trips that have too many components (组成部分). Perhaps you’re planning a trip to Europe, seven cities in 10 days, and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list. Sounds fine in theory, but hopping from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness –time to take in our new surroundings, time to be present and absorb our travel experiences. Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic issues such as how to find a good flight deal, how to get from A to B, or which destination to add or subtract from our journey. These issues may seem important, but our psychological state of mind is from more important.Actually, vacation happiness is based on the following top rules. First, choose your travel companions wisely, because nothing contributes more significantly to a trip than the right companions. Second, don’t spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to maintain a positive mood. Third, shop wisely, for meaningful experiences provide more long-term happiness than physical possession.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Kids and PondsYears ago there was a group of kids who would hang around at some local ponds in the woods near their houses in Warwick, Rhode Island. In summer they caught frogs and fish. When winter arrived they couldn’t wait to go skating. Time passed, and the ponds became the only open space for the kids to go skating in the neighborhood.One day, a thirteen-year-old boy from this group of kids read in the local newspaper that a developer wanted to fill the ponds and build over a hundred small houses called condominium. So the boy went door to door and gathered more than two hundred signatures (签名) to stop the development. A group of citizens met and decided to support him.At the meeting of the town planning board (委员会), the boy was quite nervous at first and spoke very softly. But when he saw the faces of his friends and neighbors in the crowd and thought about what was happening to their favorite ponds, his voice grew louder. He told the town officials that they should speak for the citizens. He also insisted that they should leave enough space for children. A few days later, the developer stopped his plan.Nine years later, when that teen was a senior in college, he was informed that the developer was back with his proposal to build condominiums. Now twenty-two years old, he was studying wetlands ecology. He again appeared before the town planning board. This time as an expert witness, he used environment protection laws to explain restrictions on development in and around wetlands and the knowledge of wetlands ecology to help number the developer wanted. The ponds where those kids used to hang around were protected by a strip of natural land, and are still there today.81. What did the kids like to do at the local ponds in winter?(No more than 6 words) (2 marks) 82. How did the boy win the citizen s’ support?(No more than 10 words) (2 marks)83. What did the boy tell the town officials?(No more than 16 words) (3 marks)84. What helped the boy to protect the ponds successfully nine years later?(No more than 12 words) (3 marks) Section C (25 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below.学校正在组织科技创新大赛，你想为日常生活中某件物品（如钢笔、书包、鞋子……）设计添加新功能来参赛。

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1I strongly believe that understanding is more important than love, especially when it comes to parenting and intimate relationships. As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to b etter understand. I hope I’ll continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper—and healthier— our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61. From the passage we know that________.A. the author complains about her parents ‘being too understandingB. the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC. people divorced mainly because they didn’t love each otherD. some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62. Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A. Because we are caring the others too much.B. Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C. Because we believe we are always right.D. Because the others have done something wrong.63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Understanding is more important to parenting relationship than to other intimaterelationships.B. Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C. Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D. Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64. If we are to understand our partners, we should ________firstly .A. have willingness to do soB. have love for themC. get into connection with themD. care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to________ .A. befriendB. understandC. loveD. care aboutPassage 2Finally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning…is exhaustive and time consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “this is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their “always wanted” gi fts back to the store to exchange for something they reallywanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you’ll have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift package so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66. Finding a gift for somebody is a(n)________.A. easy jobB. tough taskC. Must be jobD. arranged task67. It is quite ________ for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.A. usualB. normalC.abnormalD. unusual68. Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that ________.A. people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB. people would cash out the gift immediatelyC. people are eager to get a gift from a friendD. people are less willing to give gifts69. Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?A. Open the gift immediately in front of the giver.B. Wrap the gift carefully.C. Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D. Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping.70. The author’s attitude towards gift giving is________ .A. indifferentB. protestingC.objectiveD. supportivePassage 3They already guide blind and disabled people；now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆). The duti es of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Scotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said: “People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine.”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer’s, but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don’t need to communicate ver bally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond.The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.71. As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for________.A. helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB. reminding the owner to take medicineC. communicating with the owner in a non verbal wayD. helping the owner recover from the illness72. Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A. The students who developed the idea.B. The owners of the dogs.C. The experts in Alzheimer’s Scotland.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.73. What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A. They would like to stay with other people.B. They can maintain routine.C. They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life.D. They would like to talk in a different way.74. The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will________.A. respond to t he owners’ orderB. respond to a sound deviceC. act on the owners’ instructionsD. act on the trainers’ order75. Having a conversation with people with dementia will be________.A. difficultB. interestingC. confusingD. encouragingPassage 4It seems obvious that you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea’s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too—but making money through sales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally—to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to＄2 billion in 2006—an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year—yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases—they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24year olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally.Piracy—usually in the form of cheaply copied CD—has long been an issue for the music business but the Internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76. What is unusual about the Crimea’s business plan?A. Their business was given away free on the Internet.B. They gave CDs away free in shops.C. They played free concerts.D. They charged more for their CDs77.

It is not mentioned in the passage.80. What effect has the Internet had on music piracy?A. It has made it easier to fight piracy.B. It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C.

official report．24．（12分）Passenger pigeons（旅鸽）once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers．Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks（群）so large that they darkened the sky for hours．It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point，there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons﹣a number equal to 24to 40percent of the total bird population in the United States，making it perhaps the most abundant bird in theworld．Even as late as 1870when their numbers had already become smaller，a flock believed to be 1mile wide and 320miles （about 515kilometers）long was seen near Cincinnati．Sadly，the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing．Where the birds were most abundant，people believed there was an ever﹣lasting supply and killed them by the thousands．Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain，waited until pigeons had settled to feed，then threw large nets over them，taking hundreds at a time．The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants．By the closing decades of the 19th century，the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans'need for wood，which scattered （驱散）the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north，where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline．Soon the great flocks were gone，never to be seen again．In 1897，the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons，but by then，no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10years．The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County，Ohio，in 1900．For a time，a few birds survived under human care．The last of them，known affectionately as Martha，died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1，1914．24．In the 18th and early 19th centuries，passenger pigeons．A．were the biggest bird in the worldB．lived mainly in the south of AmericaC．did great harm to the natural environmentD．were the largest bird population in the US25．The underlined word"undoing"probably refers to the pigeons'．A．escape B．ruin C．liberation D．evolution 26．What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons？A．To seek pleasure B．To save other birdsC．To make money D．To protect crops．27．What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan？A．It was ignored by the public B．It was declared too late．C．It was unfair D．It was strict．28．（12分）A typical lion tamer （驯兽师）in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip （鞭）and a chair．The whip gets all of the attention，but it's mostly for show．In reality，it's the chair that does the important work．When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face，the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time．With its focus divided，the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next．When faced with so many options，the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair．How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion？How often do you have something you want to achieve （e．g．lose weight，start a business，travel more）﹣﹣﹣﹣only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress？This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best，the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information．The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things，and so we take less action，make less progress，and stay the same when we could be improving．It doesn't have to be that way．Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face，remember this：All you need to do is focus on one thing．You just need to get started．Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people．If you have somewhere you want to go，something you want to accomplish，someone you want to become …take immediate action．If you're clear about where you want to go，the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way．28．Why does the lion tamer use a chair？A．To show off his skills．B．To trick the lion．C．To get ready for a fight．D．To entertain the audience．29．In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair？A．They feel puzzled over choices．B．They hold on to the wrong things．C．They find it hard to make changed．D．They have to do something for show．30．What is the author's attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3？A．Tolerant B．Doubtful C．Respectful D．Supportive．31．When the world is"waving a chair in your face"，you're advised to．A．wait for a better chanceB．break your old habitsC．make a quick decisionD．ask for clear guidance．32．（12分）As more and more people speak the global languages of English，Chinese，Spanish，and Arabic，other languages are rapidly disappearing．In fact，half of the 6，000﹣7，000languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century，according to the United Nations Educational，Scientific，and Cultural Organization （UNESCO）．In an effort to prevent language loss，scholars from a number of organizations﹣﹣﹣﹣UNESCO and National Geographic among them﹣﹣﹣﹣have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect．Mark Turin，a scientist at the Macmillan Center，Yale University，who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas，is following in that tradition．His recently published book，A grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture，grows out of his experience living，working，andraising a family in a village in Nepal．Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin，who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India，Nepal，Bhutan，and China．But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record．At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials﹣﹣﹣﹣including photographs，films，tape recordings，and field notes﹣﹣﹣﹣which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection．Now，through the two organizations that he has founded﹣﹣﹣﹣the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project﹣﹣﹣﹣Turin has started a campaign to make such documents，found in libraries and stores around the world，available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected．Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet，Turin notes，the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities．32．Many scholars are making efforts to．A．promote global languageB．rescue disappearing languagesC．search for language communitiesD．set up language research organizations33．What does"that tradition"in Paragraph 3refer to？A．Having full records of the languages．B．Writing books on language teaching．C．Telling stories about language users．D．Living with the native speakers．34．What is Turin's book based on？A．The cultural studies in India．B．The documents available at Yale．C．His language research in Bhutan．D．His personal experience in Nepal．35．Which of the following best describes Turin's work？A．Write，sell and donate．B．Record，repair and reward．C．Design，experiment and report．D．Collect，protect and reconnect．第二节（共1小题；每小题15分，满分15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．选项中有两项为多余选项．36．（15分）The jobs of the future have not yet been invented．（36）By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds．1．CuriosityYour children need to be deeply curious．（37）Ask kids，"What ingredients （配料）can we add to make these pancakes even better next time？"and then try them out．Did those ingredients make the pancakes better？What could we try next time？2．CreativityTrue creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new from it．（38）There are a dozen different things you can do with them．Experimenting with materials to create something new can go a long way in helping them develop their creativity．3．Personal skillsUnderstanding how others feel can be a challenge for kids．We know what's going on inside our own head，but what about others？Being able to read people helps kid from misreading a situation and jumping to false conclusions．（39）"Why do you think she's crying？""Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face？""If someone were to do that to you，how would you feel？"4．Self Expression（40）There are many ways to express thoughts and ideas﹣﹣﹣﹣music，acting，drawing，building，photography．You may find that your child is attracted by one more than another．A．Encourage kids to cook with you．B．And we can't forget science education．C．We can give kids chances to think about materials in new ways．D．We can do this in real life or ask questions about characters in stories．E．Gardening is another great activity for helping kids develop this skill．F．So how can we help our kids prepare for jobs that don't yet exist？G．Being able to communicate ideas in a meaningful way is a valuable skill．第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）第一节完形填空（满分40分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．41．（40分）As a general rule，all forms of activity lead to boredom when they are performed on a routine

numbers．Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks（群）so large that they darkened the sky for hours．It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point，there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons﹣a number equal to 24to 40percent of the total bird population in the United States，making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world．Even as late as 1870when their numbers had already become smaller，a flock believed to be 1mile wide and 320miles （about 515kilometers）long was seen near Cincinnati．Sadly，the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing．Where the birds were most abundant，people believed there was an ever﹣lasting supply and killed them by the thousands．Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain，waited until pigeons had settled to feed，then threw large nets over them，taking hundreds at a time．The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants．By the closing decades of the 19th century，the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans'need for wood，which scattered （驱散）the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north，where coldtemperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline．Soon the great flocks were gone，never to be seen again．In 1897，the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons，but by then，no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10years．The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County，Ohio，in 1900．For a time，a few birds survived under human care．The last of them，known affectionately as Martha，died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1，1914．24．In the 18th and early 19th centuries，passenger pigeons D．A．were the biggest bird in the worldB．lived mainly in the south of AmericaC．did great harm to the natural environmentD．were the largest bird population in the US25．The underlined word"undoing"probably refers to the pigeons'B．A．escape B．ruin C．liberation D．evolution 26．What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons？CA．To seek pleasure B．To save other birdsC．To make money D．To protect crops．27．What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan？BA．It was ignored by the public B．It was declared too late．C．It was unfair D．It was strict．【分析】文章主要讲述了旅鸽的灭绝的故事，由于人们警惕意识弱，相关法律出台太晚，最后一只旅鸽也在100年前死去．【解答】24．D．推理判断题．根据第二段的内容可知，据计算，旅鸽数量最多时，有30多亿只，相当于美国鸟类总数的24%﹣40%．到1870年，旅鸽的数量已经减少了，但是，有人在Cincinnati附近看到鸽群的规模为1英里宽，320英里长．由此可见，在18至19世纪，旅鸽的数量最多．第一段的第二句也是关键信息．故选D．25．B．词义猜测题．根据第三段的内容可知，旅鸽的数量巨大最终导致它们灭绝．undoing意为"毁灭"，与ruin同义．故选B．26．C．细节理解题．根据第三段可知，商业猎人用大网来围捕旅鸽，然后运到大城市卖给餐馆，由此可见，人们捕杀旅鸽主要是为了赚钱．故选C．27．B．推理判断题．根据最后一段的内容可知，1897年密歇根州出台了法律，禁止捕杀旅鸽．那时，人们已经十年没有看到大规模的旅鸽群出没．由此可知，保护旅鸽的法律出台太晚了．故选B．28．（12分）（2014•新课标Ⅰ）A typical lion tamer （驯兽师）in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip （鞭）and a chair．The whip gets all of the attention，but it's mostly for show．In reality，it's the chair that does the important work．When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face，the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time．With its focus divided，the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next．When faced with so many options，the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair．How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion？How often do you have something you want to achieve （e．g．lose weight，start a business，travel more）﹣﹣﹣﹣only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress？This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best，the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information．The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things，and so we take less action，make less progress，and stay the same when we could be improving．It doesn't have to be that way．Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face，remember this：All you need to do is focus on one thing．You just need to get started．Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people．If you have somewhere you want to go，something you want to accomplish，someone you want to become …take immediate action．If you're clear about where you want togo，the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way．28．Why does the lion tamer use a chair？AA．To show off his skills．B．To trick the lion．C．To get ready for a fight．D．To entertain the audience．29．In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair？AA．They feel puzzled over choices．B．They hold on to the wrong things．C．They find it hard to make changed．D．They have to do something for show．30．What is the author's attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3？BA．Tolerant B．Doubtful C．Respectful D．Supportive．31．When the world is"waving a chair in your face"，you're advised to C．A．wait for a better chanceB．break your old habitsC．make a quick decisionD．ask for clear guidance．【分析】本文是一篇议论文．文章以驯兽师拿一把椅子在狮子面前，狮子感到困惑，呆立不动的例子导入，其实我们人也一样，当面对多个选择时，不知该选哪一个，又怕选错了，因此往往进展很小，甚至保持原样．文章旨在告诉我们当遇到多种选择时，要专注一件事，并下决心做下去．【解答】28．A 考查细节理解．根据第一段中"When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face，the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time"可知，当驯兽师拿着椅子在狮子面前时，狮子关注椅子的四条腿，因此椅子用是用来戏耍狮子的．故选A．。

That is slow but could be the result of the already high number of college Internet users.About 88 percent of American college students own a computer, and more than half have broadband（宽带）connections. Furthermore, 67 percent own cell phones and 36 percent use their mobile devices to visit the Internet. Study findings are that 42 percent go online mainly to communicate socially, and 72 percent of college students check emails at least once a day, with 66 percent using at least two email addresses.The most popular online social activity is forwarding messages to friends or family, with 37 percent of college students saying they do so. The study also looked beyond the Internet surfing（冲浪）habits and into the buying habits of this group, and found them responsible for more than US $ 210 billion in sales last year alone.College students have learned how to spend their money, with 93 percent saying low prices were important when shopping.The study also showed that 65 percent make loan payments; 41 percent of freshmen have a credit card; and 79 percent of seniors have a credit card. A significant number of charges on these credit cards are likely to be for entertainment and leisure expenses.41. College students in the US, as this passage shows,___B____.A. waste much time visiting the InternetB. lead an exciting life by using the InternetC. don’t have to learn their lessons in their classroomsD. spend too much time, in the opinion of the writer, visiting the Internet42. We can find, from the third paragraph, that in the US ___D_____.A. most college students are from rich familiesB. cell phone will take the place of computers in collegesC. college students can have a computer from their collegesD. mobile phones make Internet life easy for college students43. To communicate with friends, nearly half of the college students use ____C____.A. lettersB. telephonesC. emailsD. text messages on mobile phones44. By using the Internet, college students in the US can do the following EXCEPT ___A____.A. going swimmingB. chatting with friendsC. reading newspapersD. buying goods45. Loan payments probably refer to ____D___.A. payments settledB. payments on lineC. lending money to othersD. borrowing moneyBWe walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn't even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. To my surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, "Very dirty floors.""Yes, I'm glad they've finally decided to clean them, "the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, "But aren't you working late?"Mum just pushed harder, each swipe(拖一下)of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book.After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum bowed politely to the nurse and said, "Thank you."Outside, Mum told me, "Dagmar is fine. No fever. ""You saw her, Mum?""Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. It's a fine hospital. But such floors! A mop is no good. You need a brush."46. When she took a mop from the small room what Mum really wanted to do was____B____.A. to clean the floorB. to see a patientC. to please the nurseD. to surprise the story-teller47. When the nurse talked to Mum she thought Mum was a ___A___.A. cleanerB. nurseC. visitorD. patient48. After reading the story what can we infer about the hospital? BA. It is a children's hospital.B. It has strict rules about visiting hours.C. The conditions there aren't very good.D. The nurses and doctors there don't work hard.49. From the text we know that Dagmar is most likely ____C___.A. Dad's bossB. Mum's friendC. the story-teller's sisterD. the story-teller's classmate50. Which of the following words best describes Mum? DA. strangeB. warm-heartedC. hard-workingD. cleverCMost animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership which does good to both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫)on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together.Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals(珊瑚)of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as "dustman", taking some of the waste products from the corals and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.51. Some birds like to sit on a sheep because ____A____.A. they can eat its parasitesB. they enjoy traveling with the sheepC. they depend on the sheep for existenceD. they find the position most comfortable52. The underlined word "they" in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to____A____.A. birds and sheepB. birds and parasitesC. parasites and sheepD. sheep, birds and parasites53. It can be learnt from the text that the coral depends on the plant for ____C____.A. lightB. foodC. oxygenD. comfort54. What does the second paragraph mainly discuss? DA. Some animals live better together.B. Some plants depend on each other for food.C. Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.D. Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence.55. “They cannot manage without each other.” The sentence means:____B____.A. They cannot eat without each other.B. They cannot live without each other.C. They cannot go without each other.D. They cannot sleep without each other.四、翻译1. 你最好马上去看医生。

Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks（群）so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reach its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons – a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant birds in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans’ need for wood, which scattered（驱散）the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden in September 1, 1914.【24】 In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons _______.A. were the biggest bird in the worldB. lived mainly in the south of AmericaC. did great harm to the natural environmentD. Were the largest population in the US【25】The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’_______.A. escapeB. ruinC. liberationD. evolution【26】What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A. To seek pleasure.B. To save other birds.C. To make money.D. To protect crops.【27】 What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A. It was ignored by the public.B. It was declared too late.C. It was unfair.D. It was strict.CA typical lion tamer (驯兽师) in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip (鞭子)and a chair .The whip get all of the attention , but it’s mostly for show .In reality , it’s the chair that does the important work .When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face , the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time .With its focus divided , the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next .When faced with so many options , the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion ? How often do you have something you want to achiever (e,g. lose weight , start a business , travel more ) –only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress ?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best , the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information .The end result is that we feel like we can’t focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things , and so we take less action , make less progress , and stay the same when we could be improving .It doesn’t have to be that way .Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face , remember this :All you need to do is focus on one thing .You just need to get started .Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people .If you have somewhere you want to go , something youwant to accomplish , someone you want to become ….take immediate action .If you’re clear about where you want to go , the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out the way .【28】 Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A. To trick the lion.B. To show off his skill .C. To get ready for a fight.D. To entertain the audience.【29】 In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A. They feel puzzled over choices.B. They hold on to the wrongthings.C. They find it hard to make changes.D. They have to do somethingfor show.【30】What is the author’s attitude towards the experts mentioned in paragraph 3?A. TolerantB. DoubtfulC. RespectfulD. Supportive【31】When the world is “waving a chair in your face”, you’re advised to_____.A. wait for a better chanceB.break your old habitsC. make a quick decisionD. ask for clear guidanceDAs more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations- UNESCO and National Geographic among them –have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not contentto simply record these voices before they disappear without record.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials- including photographs, films, tap recordings, and field notes- which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now, through the two organizations that he has founded-the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project- Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the youngers.Generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected.Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet. Turin notes,the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.【32】Many scholars are making efforts to _____.A. promote global languages B . rescue the disappearing languages C.search for language communities D.set up languages research organizations.【33】What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Having first records of the languagesB.Writing books on languagesearchingC.Telling stories about language usersD.Linking with the native speakers 【34】What is Turin’s book based on?A. The cultural statics in India.B.The documents available at Yale.C.His language research in BritainD.His personal experience in Nepal.【35】Which of the following best describe Turin’s Work?A. Write sell and donate.B.Record,repeat and reward.C.Collect,protect and reconnect.D.Design, experiment and report.第二节（共3小题，每小题3分，满分15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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 36 through 40.You have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a blood trans- fusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.There are four basic types of blood: A, B, AB and O. A simple test can indicate a per- son' s blood type. Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood. Blood type, like hair color and height, is inherited from parents.Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused care- fully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group; hence, it is often called the universal donor. For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called universal recipient. However, be- cause so many reactions can occur in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt or plasma (liquid) until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In this way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among Europeans and people of European ancestry, about42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O. The rarest is typeAB. Other races have different percentages. For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.3 / 74 / 736. If the blood is too different from your own in blood transfusion, ____________A) it may save you B) it has no effect C) it could kill you D) it is very safe37. People with type B blood can receive blood type ______________ A) AB B)B C)A D)both B and O38.If you need a transfusion, the best and safest blood for you is________________A) type AB B) exactly the same type as yoursC) a mixture of salt, plasma, and type O D) either A or O39. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A) There is no relationship between blood and nationality. B) Almost all of some American Indian groups have type O.C) Blood type isn't inherited from parents.D) Among Europeans and people of European ancestry, the rarest is type O.40. The passage is mainly about _____________A) the relationship between blood and nationality B) transfusionC) human blood types D) blood and geneTask 3 Directions: The following is an advertisement for personal pocket knife.After reading it, you are required to fill in the outline below it (No. 41 through No. 45).

Choose thebest answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneOf all the lessons taught by the financial crisis, the most personal has been thatAmericans aren’t so good at money-management. We take out home loans we can't afford.We run up sky-high credit-card debt. We don't save nearly enough forretirement.In response, supporters of financial-literacy education are moving with renewedenthusiasm. School districts in states such as New Jersey and Illinois are adding money-management courses to their curriculums . The Treasury and Educationdepartments are sending lesson plans to high schools and encouraging students to compete in the National Financial Capability Challenge that begins in March.Students with top scores on that exam will receive certificates -but chances forlong-term benefits are slim. As it turns out, there is little evidence that traditional effortsto boost financial know-how help students make better decisions outside the classroom.Even as the financial-literacy movement has gained steam over the past decade, scores have been falling on tests that measure how well students learn about things such asbudgeting, credit cards, insurance and investments. A recent survey of college studentsconducted for the JumpStart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy found thatstudents who'd had a personal-finance or money-management course in high schoolscored no better than those who hadn't."We need to figure out how to do this the right way,"says Lewis Mandell, aprofessor at the University of Washington who after 15 years ofstudyingfinancial-literacy programs has come to the conclusion that current methods don't work.A growing number of researchers and educators agree that a more radical approach isneeded. They advocate starting financial education a lot earlier than high school, puttingreal money and spending decisions into kids' hands and talking openly about theemotions and social influences tied to how we spend .Other initiatives are tacking such real-world issues as the commercial andsocialpressures that affect purchasing decisions.Why exactly do you want those expensive brand-name shoes so badly? "It takes confidence to take a stand and to thinkdifferently," saysJerooBillimoria ,founder of Aflatoun,a nonprofit whose curriculum, used in more than 30 countries ,aims to help kids get a leg up in their financial lives .”“This goes beyond money and savings"21. The financial-literacy education is intended to________.A. help Americans to overcome the financial crisisB. enable Americans to manage money wiselyC. increase Americans' awareness of the financial crisisD. renew Americans' enthusiasm about money-management22. According to the author, the National Financial Capability Challenge willbe_______.A. well-receivedB. costlyC. rewardingD. ineffective23.Bysaying that "the financial-literacy movement has gainedsteam"(Para .3) ,theauthor means that the movement______.A.has gone through financial difficultiesB. has received much criticismC. has been regarded as imaginativeD. has been more and more popular24. Lewis Mandell suggests that we should figure out how to ________.A.help students scorebetter in money-management coursesB. improve the social awareness of financial educationC. carry out financial-literacy education properlyD. manage money in a more efficient way25. Jeroo Billimoria is most likely to agree thatcommercial and social pressures makeone's purchasing decisions________.A. difficultB.feasibleC. unwiseD. acceptablePassage TwoCheating is nothing new,But today,educators and administrators are finding thatinstances of academic dishonesty on the part of students have become more frequent -and are less likely to be punished - than in the past . Cheating appears to have gainedacceptance among good and poor students alike .Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows .Some blame the trend on a general loosening of moral values among today's youth. Others have attributedincreased cheating to the fact that today's youth are far more pragmatic（实用主义的）than their more idealistic predecessors.Whereas in the late sixties and early seventies，students were filled with visions about changing the world，today’s students feel greatpressure to conform and succeed. In interviews with students at high schools andcolleges around the country, both young men and women said that cheating had becomeeasy. Some suggested they did it out of spite for teachers they did not respect. Others looked at it as a game. Only if they were caught, some said, would they feel guilty."People are competitive," said a second-yearcollege student named Anna, fromChicago. There's an underlying fear. If you don't do well, your life is going to be ruined.The pressure is not only form parents and friends but from oneself .To achieve .To succeed .It’s almost as though we have to outdo other people to achieve our own goals, Edward Wynne , a magazine editor ,blames the rise in academic dishonesty on the schools. He claims that administrators and teachers have been too hesitant to take action .Dwight Huber ,chairman of the English department at Amarillo .sees the matterdifferently, blaming the rise in cheating on the way students are evaluated. "Iwouldcheat if I felt I was being cheated," Mr. Huber said. He feels that as long as teachers gives short-answer testsrather than essay questions and rate students by the number of facts they can memorize rather than by how well they can put informationtogether,students will try to beat the system. "The concept of cheating is based on the false assumption that the system is legitimate and there is something wrong withthe individual who are doing it," he said. "That's too easy an answer. We've got to start looking at the system."26. Educators are finding that students who cheat_______.A. are not only those academically weakB. tend to be dishonest in later yearsC.are more likely to be punished than beforeD. have poor academic records27. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Reform in the testing system will eliminate cheating.B. Punishment is an effective method to stop cheating . .C. Students' cheating has deep social roots.D. Students do not cheat on essay tests.28. Which of the following points of view would Mr. Huberagree with ?A. Cheating would be reduced through an educational reform.B. Students who cheat should be expelled from school.C. Punishment for cheaters should be severe in this country.D. Parents must take responsibility for the rise in cheating.29. The expression "the individuals" (the last paragraph) refers to ________A. school administratorsB. students who cheatC. parentsD. teachers30. The passage mainly discusses_______A: ways to eliminate academic dishonestyB: factors leading to academic dishonestyC: the decline of moral standards of today's youthD: people's tolerance of students' cheatingPassage ThreeLast week, I read a story about a 34-year-old British woman who is extremely afraid of metal forks. She's been using plastic ones for 17 years because the sound of a fork rubbing against a plate g:ives her a panic attack.Strange, right? But she's not alone. While popular phobias(恐惧症) about snakes and spiders might get all of the attention, there are a wide variety of not-so-obvious horrors that make people nervous.While some phobias might seem a bit silly, they can cause serious emotional distress. My co-worker Magda is terrified of pigeons, a phobia that is taking over her life. She won't walk in certain parts of the city and runs screaming from the subway when one of these "rats with wings" finds its way onto the platform. Another friend isdisgusted with cheese. Once I saw her run away from a slice of it. So where does anirrational fear of cheese come from?Are phobias something we inherit from our genes or do we acquire these unusualanxieties over time?Ever since I can remember I have been unreasonably frightened of elevators. Therewas no terrible childhood experience and I am fine with confined spaces, but something about elevators makes me nervous. And so, when my boyfriend and I found ourselvestrapped in an elevator last year - because these sorts of things always happen eventually- I was anticipating the worst.While he gave me a suggestive eyebrow raise and proposed we "take advantage ofthe situation," I began screaming uncontrollably. I was far from turned on by the wholefacing my worst nightmare thing.However, after the fear subsided(消退)I realized that, yes, this was my greatest fear come true, and yet - it wasn't all that bad. Nervous and inconvenient maybe, butterrifying? Not so much.Liberating yourself from a deep-seated phobia can be a long and difficult process,but sometimes it can be as simple as confronting it head on.31. The 34-year-old British woman is extremelyafraid of metal forks becauseA.she has never used them beforeB.she has been injured by them beforeC.she couldn't bear their sound on plateD.she is afraid that they may hurt her32. The phrase "rats with wings" (Para. 3) refers to______A. strange birdsB. pigeonsC.devilsD. exotic rats33. The author's fear of elevators is the result of_______A. her phobia for no reasonB. her nervousness of being aloneC. her dislike of being in closed spacesD. her terrible experience34. After the fear subsided, the author realized that______A. her boyfriend's help was importantB. she could have had a good time with her boyfriendC. an elevator ride could be excitingD. it was not as horrible as she had thought35. The purpose for the author to share her experience is to_______A. illustrate conquering a fear can be difficultB. encourage people to overcome their fearsC. introduce what strange fears people haveD. explain why people have strange fearsPassage FourThe American public's obsession with dieting has led to one of the most dangeroushealth misconceptions of all times. Many television ads, movies, magazine articles, anddiet-food product labels would have consumers believe thatcarbohydrates (碳水化合物) are bad for the human body and that those who eat them will quickly becomeoverweight. We are advised to avoid foods such as potatoes, rice and white bread andopt for meats and vegetables instead. Some companies promote this idea to encourageconsumers to buy their "carb-free" food products. But the truth is, the human bodyneeds carbohydrates to function properly, and a body that relies on carbohydrates but isexhausted of thisdietary element is not in good shape after all.Most foods that we consume on a daily basis like potatoes and rice are loaded withcarbohydrates. Contrary to popular belief, carbohydrates have many health benefitssome fight diseases such as high blood pressure and heart disease, and others help toprevent cancer and stroke. Cutting these foods out of your diet may deprive your bodyof the many health benefits of carbohydrates.One of the best benefits of carbohydrates is their ability to help to maintain the health of our organs, tissues, and cells. Scientific studies have shown that one type of carbohydrate called fiber reduces the risk of heart disease. Carbohydrates also contain antioxidants (抗氧化剂) , which protect the body's cells from harmful particles with thepotential to cause cancer.This does not mean that the human body can survive on a diet composed entirely ofcarbohydrates. We also need certain percentages of proteins and fats to maintain healthybodies. But carbohydrates certainly should not be avoided altogether. In fact, the foodpyramid, the recommended basis of a healthy diet, shows that a person should consumesix to eleven servings of breads and grains, as well as three to four servings each offruits and vegetables - all carbohydrate-containing foods. It is easy to see why cuttingcarbohydrates out of a person's diet is not a good idea.The only way to know what is truly healthy for your own body is to talk to a nutritionist or dietician, who can help you choose foods that are right for you as well asguide you toward a proper exercise program forweight loss, or muscle gain. Theseprofessionals will never tell you to cut out carbohydrates entirely! The bottom line:listen to the experts, not the advertisers!36. As is used in Paragraph l, the word "exhausted" most possibly means______A. derivedB. deprivedC. startledD. starving37. According to the author, advertisers who sell “carb-free” products_______A. offer healthy optionsB. are responsible for obesityC. are not telling the truthD. value consumers' well-being38. Which of the following is NOT one of the health benefits of carbohydrates?A. Prevention of fiber reduction.B. Prevention of heart disease.C. Prevention of stroke.D. Prevention of cancer.39. It can be inferred from the passage that a healthy diet .A. needs enough proteins but no fat for us to maintain energyB. is balanced between carbohydrates, and proteins and fatsC. is low in carbohydrates and high in proteins and fatsD. contains equal amounts of carbohydrates and proteins40. The main purpose of the passage is toA. promote more physical exerciseB. advocate a healthy dietC. describe the variety of carbohydratesD. explain how to live a healthy lifeSection BDirections: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the commentson it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinishedstatements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose thebest answer and mark your answer onthe Answer SheetOne of the central principles of raising kids in America is that parents shouldbe actively involved in their children's education: meeting with teachers, volunteering atschoolhelping with homework, and doing a hundred other things that few workingparents have time for. These obligations are so baked into American values that fewparents stop to ask whether they’re worth the effort.Until this January, few researchers did, either. In the largest-ever study of howparental involvement affects academic achievement, Keith Robinson and AngelL.Harris, two sociology professors at Duke, found that mostly it doesn’t. Theresearcherscombed through nearly three decades' worth of surveys of American parents and tracked63 different measures of parental participation in kids' academic lives, from helpingthem with homework, to talking with them about college plans. In an attempt to show whether the kids of more-involved parents improved over time, the researchers indexedthese measures to children's academic performance, including test scores in reading and math.What they found surprised them. Most measurable forms of parental involvement seem to yield few academic dividends for kids, or even to backfire(适得其反) -regardless of a parent's race, class, or level of education.Do you review your daughter's homework every night? Robinson and Harris's data show that this won’t help her score higher on standardized tests. Once kids enter middle school, parental help with homework can actually bring test scores down, an effect Robinson says could be caused by the fact that many parents may have forgotten, or never truly understood, the material their children learn in school.While Robinson and Harris largely disproved that assumption, they did find ahandful of habits that make a difference, such as reading aloud to young kids (fewerthan half of whom are read to daily) and talking with teenagers about college plans. Butthese interventions don't take place at school or in the presence of teachers, wherepolicymakers have the most influence - they take place at home.Comment 1:Basically the choice is whether one wants to let kids to be kids. Persistent parentalinvolvement and constantly communicating to the kids on what the parents wantconsciously or unconsciously would help the kids grow up or think like the parentssooner than otherwise.Comment 2:It also depends on the kid. Emotional and social maturityhave a lot to do withsuccess in college and in life. Some kids may have the brains and are bored by highschool, but that doesn't mean they are ready for college or the work place.Comment 3:The article doesn't clearly define "helping," but I understood it as actually assistingchildren in the exercises (e.g. helping them to solve a math problem) and/or reviewingtheir work for accuracy rather than simply making sure they've completed their work. Ithink the latter is more helpful than the former. I would also certainly hope that no studywould discourage parents from monitoring their children's performance!41. The word "they" (Para. l) refers to .A. studiesB. principlesC. valuesD. obligations42. What is the main conclusion of the Robinson and Harris’s study?A. The kids of more-involved parents improve over time.B. Parental involvement may not necessarily benefit children.C. Parental involvement works better with low-achievers.D. Schools should communicate with parents regularly.43. Comment1 suggests thatA. parents should leave their children aloneB. kids should be kids after allC. parents may influence children's thinkingD. persistent parental involvement is a must44. The writer of Comment 2 would probably agree thatA. high intelligence does not guarantee successB. getting ready for college is an emotional processC. social maturity is sufficient to achieve success in lifeD. high school is often boring in the U.S.45. Which of the following parental helps will the writer of Comment 3 consider proper?A. Reviewing kids' homework for accuracy.B. Monitoring kids' class performance.C.

When children learn a language, they learn the grammar as well as the words or vocabulary. No one teaches them; children just “pick them up”.Before babies begin to produce words, they produce sounds. Some of these sounds will remain if they occur in the language being acquired, and others will disappear. This is called the “babbling（牙牙学语）stage”. A child does not learn the language “all at once”. The child first utterances（言语）are one-word sentences. After a few months，the two-word stage arises. During this stage, the child puts two words together. These two-word sentences have definite patterns and express grammatical and meaningful relationships. Still later, in the telegraphic stage, the child will produce longer sentences. These longer sentences are mainly made up of content words. The child s early grammar lacks many of the rules of the adult grammar, but eventually it will become mature.All normal children everywhere learn language. This ability is not dependent on race（种族）, social class, geography, or even intelligence. This ability is uniquely human.（10分） (1) This passage is mainly about _________. （2分）A.the difference between a child s language and an adult sB. ways of teaching babies to talkC.children‟s learning of the mother languageD.the importance of learning foreign languages★标准答案：C(2) The phrase “pick them up”（Line 2，Paragraph1）means “_________ ”. （2分）A. raise them from the groundB.learn them without much efforte hands to help carry themD.study very hard and remember them★标准答案：B(3) During the “babbling stage”, babies _________. （2分）A.can only produce soundsB.learn to walk steadilyC.can unders tand people‟s talkD.begin to produce two-word sentences★标准答案：A(4) The two-word sentences produced by babies _________. （2分）A.are simpler than those produced in the “babbling stage”B.are more difficult than those produced in the telegraphic stageC.are strictly grammaticalD.are meaningful and have function★标准答案：D(5) Any child can learn language as long as he is _________. （2分）A. well-educatedB.clever enoughC.uniqueD.physically normal★标准答案：D2. In the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment,a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian (巴西的) university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 A.M. and end at 12.On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10 A.M.S several arrived after 10:30 A.M. Two students came after 11A.M. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students‟ behavior.The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in a university calls, respectively. He gave them an example and asked them how they would react. Ifthey had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour. In contrast, in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour. Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12:00; many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late. （10分） (1) The word “punctual” most probably means _ __. （2分）A.leaving soon after classing earlyC.arriving a few minutes lateD. being on time★标准答案：D(2) Why did the professor study the Brazilian students’ behavior? （2分）A.He felt puzzled at the students' being late.B.He felt angry at the students' rudeness.C.He wanted to make the students come on time later.D.He wanted to collect data for one of his studies.★标准答案：A(3) It can be inferred from the professor’s study of lateness in the informal situation that __ __. （2分）A.American students will become impatient if their friend is five minutes lateB.neither Brazilian nor American students like being late in social gatheringsC.being late in one culture may not be considered so in another cultureD.Brazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time★标准答案：C(4) From the last paragraph we know that in Brazil __ __. （2分）A.it is important to arrive at the appointed timeB.it is rude to keep the professor staying after callsC.it is normal for students to leave during lecturesD.it is acceptable for professors to be late for class.★标准答案：D(5) What is the main idea of this passage? （2分）A.It is important to be on time for class in the United States.B.The importance of being on time differs among cultures.C.People learn the importance of time from the culture they are in.D.Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.★标准答案：B3.

Mother‟s Day is certainly a very special day for the community. The SOS mothers are regarded as great examples of maternal care. They are admired and respected for their committed work and patience in the care of so many children, normally six to ten kids in a family.For the kids of the village, the celebration has turned out to be twice as important. For them, it is not a common mother‟s day. Many have lost their biological mot hers, others have no contact with them, and a few cannot live with them because their mothers and family are in trouble. In this context, the SOS mother is everything to them, and, of course, she receives all their attention and love during this celebration. At school, the kids prepare special cards for their mothers. Most of the time, they make them with their own hands, while other children, the more imaginative, add on a little flower, often taken from the garden of a neighbor. At the end of the day, though, no child forgets to give a present to his mother. They all love them and feel proud of having someone like her when Moth er‟s Day arrives. At school, they shout out “Mummy” in front of their school mates, kind of trying to underline that they also have a mother.Right on Mother‟s Day, which is commemorated the second week of May in Ecuador, I came across Zoila, an experienced SOS mother. And as I took the chance to ask her what it feels like to be an SOS mother, she answered, “I am proud of being a mother, and I feel happy to have the chance to care for innocent, ingenious and mischievous creatures—my sons and daughters. They are so young that they give me their love with total sincerity. They don‟t seem to expect anything from me but just an …I care for you and I love you‟. I don‟t have children myself, but these kids really make me feel like a mother—more human, fuller of life. This work is hard, but the recompense of my children is absolutely great.”So, Happy Mother’s Day to every woman in the world! （10分） (1) According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true about SOS mothers? （2分）A.They are dedicated and patient to their children.B.They are admired for their maternal care for their children.C.They normally have six to ten biological kids in a family.D.Mother‟s Day is very special for them.★标准答案：C(2) Why is SOS mother important to these SOS children? （2分）A. Because SOSmother takes care of them while their biological mothers can not.B.Because their biological mothers abandoned them.C.Because they hate their real family.D.Because they love to celebrate Mother’s Day.★标准答案：A(3) How do the children usually celebrate Mother’s Day? （2分）A.By holding aparty for their mothers in the garden of a neighbor.B. By sending a little flower to their mothers.C.By telling others that they have a mother.D.By preparing special cards for their mothers.★标准答案：D(4) Why do the children shout out “Mummy” in front of their school mates at school? （2分）A. Because it is a way of celebrating the Mother’s Day.B. Because they are happy and proud to have a SOS mother.C.Because they miss their biological mothers.D.Because they want to tell others directly that they are not orphans.★标准答案：B(5) How does Zoila think of being a SOS mother? （2分）A.She thinks that the children are too young to be taken care of.B. She is proud of being a SOS mother.C.She thinks that it is a hard job and it is not worthwhile.D.She thinks that the children are expecting too much.★标准答案：B5. Among the few scientists who have had a great effect on science and history, Albert Einstein is perhaps the greatest. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new view of the universe. His theory has completely changed the way scientists understand time and space. Now, more and more people agree that the universe is something complicated than what they have ever thought before.Einstein was born is Germany in 1879. By 1914, young Einstein, already internationally famous, became a professor at an institute in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study. However, his peaceful life was soon broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. He was deeply affected by the war; he sat unhappily in his office doing little and lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the years following the First World War, people showered honors upon him. He became the head of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Noble Prize for Physics and was greatly honored and respected in Germany. However, his life was again disrupted. The Second World War broke out and Einstein had to move to the US, where he lived until his death in 1955. （10分） (1) The first paragraph is mainly about _______. （2分）A.the secret of the universeB.Einstein‟s great influenceC. an American college presidentD.the difficulty of Einstein‟s theory★标准答案：B(2) The passage tells us that young Einstein ______. （2分）A.fought in the warB.disliked teachingC.was the head of universityD.was a world famous scientist★标准答案：D(3) Einstein’s researches were interrupted by ________. （2分）A.the warsB.teachingC.povertyD.poor health★标准答案：A(4) Einstein won the Nobel Prize for Physics in ________. （2分）A.1914B.1918C.1921D.1955★标准答案：C(5) Which of the following statements about Einstein is true? （2分）A.He was always unhappy in his office.B.The world wars affected him greatly.C.He kept working until peace came in 1918.D.His theory changed the form of the universe.★标准答案：B6.

He amazed the world by speed and he was awarded the Sportsman of the Year in 2009 and may be awarded again in 2010 by the Laureus World Sports Awards, the “Sports Oscar”. No doubt he is U sain Bolt.At the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, Usain Bolt set a new record of 9.69 seconds at Bird‟s Nest in the 100 metres and won the 200 meters at a world record time, and broke the world record in the men‟s 400-meter relay. In 2009 he made history again in Berlin World Championships by breaking his own 200 meters world record in time of 19.19 seconds and 100 meters in time of 9.58 seconds. He is regarded as the fastest man on the planet and is called “Lightning Bolt”.Usain Bolt was born on August 21, 1986 in Jamaica. As a child he enjoyed excellent gifts in sports. But he wasn‟t trained for running at first. Upon his entry to WilliamKnibb Memorial High School, his cricket coach found Bolt very good at running and encouraged him to be a runner. His school had a successful history of training young sportsmen. With the help of his coaches, Bolt made rapid progress in his runningabilities.In his first Caribbean national event, Bolt ended the 200 meters in the first place in 21.81 seconds. At the age of 15 Bolt won both the 200 and 400 meters events in the High School Championships, CARIFTA Games and Central American and Caribbean Junior Championships. In 2002, Bolt got two gold medals and one silver in the World Junior Championships in Kingston, his hometown and became very famous. Then he signed a deal with Puma, and the company helped his dream in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. And just at the Beijing Olympics Bolt amazed the whole the world with a miracle and broke the world record the first time.What makes him so successful? Of course, Bolt was born with great gifts and his height gives him long steps. But he says there’s more to it. “It has been hard work. Year after year, after year, after year of work. So that’s what got me so good,” he said. （10分） (1) Why is Bolt called “Lightning Bolt”? （2分）A.Because he won the award twice.B.
