People afraid of speaking in public are suffering fr om “Stage Fright”. Stage fright makes a person 36 . Inthat 37 it can make one’s mind go blank and 38 what one ought to say, or to act.

Miss Nichols says some people have always been 40 to perform before the audience. Others, she says, develop stage fright after a terrible experience.She offers them advice to control the fear. One way is to smile before going onto the stage. Taking two deep breaths also helps.

Post- it Notes, the pieces of paper that you can fasten almost anywhere and then remove without leaving any sign that they were there, are an example of such an invention.Post-it Notes were invented 20 years ago by Art Fry, a scientist at 3M Company. The idea came from a frustrating experience while singing. Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarks were always falling out. He knew he needed a bookmark that would stay where he put it without damaging the pages.Around that time, Fry heard that his workmate, Dr. Spence Silver had created a new adhesive (粘合剂) whichwas special because it was sticky, but not too sticky. It was strong enough to hold papers together, but weak enough to not tear the paper when it was removed. Fry saw that the new adhesive could help solve his bookmark problem. One morning, Fry put some of the adhesive on the top of a piece of paper. Just as he hoped, it made a perfect bookmark.Later, Fry realized that his new invention can also be used as a great bookmark. He came to this idea when he wrote a note on one of his new “bookmarks” and attached it to a report he was going to give to a workmate. Soon, the workmate asked Fry for more samples of his invention so that they could use the new type of notes themselves.When some salespeople at 3M went to offices and showed workers just how helpful the new type of notes could be, they immediately received many orders. As more and more people discovered how useful Post-it Notes could be, the product took off.46.

To our surprise, the little boy selected limping dog and said, “What’s wrong with that little dog?”The store owner explained that a doctor had examined the little dog and had discovered it don’t have a hip socket(膝盖骨). It would always limp.The little boy became excited, “That’s the dog I want to buy.”The store owner said, “No, you don’t want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I will just g ive him to you.”The little boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the store owner’s eyes, pointing his finger, an d said, “I don’t want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth as much as all the other dogs and I’ll pay full price. In fact, I will give you $2.37 now, and 50cents a month until I have paid all the money for him. ”The store owner said, “You really don’t want to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run and jump and play with you like the other dogs.”To his surprise, the little boy revealed a badly, disabled left leg supported by a big metal brace.

"I've got something for you，"Peter said．"I sold the game and made 1，000．Thankyouforyoursuggestion．"Hehandedherthree 100bills．"Wow!"the salesgirl cried out．"Thank you，I never expected it．"17.

It had little pieces of wood in different colors．18. What did the salesgirl probably think of Peter's word game？ ______A. Old and handy．B. Rare and valuable．C. Classic and attractive．D. Colorful and interesting19. Peter got the names of the game fans from ______ ．A. an auctionB. the InternetC. a game shopD. the second-hand shop20. What happened at the end of the story？ ______A.

What is the main theme of the story？ ______A. It's important to keep a promise．B. It's great to share in other people's happiness．C. We should be grateful for the help from others．D. Something rare is worth a large amount of money．BWhen I was nine years old，I loved to go fishing with my dad．But the only thing that wasn't very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn't catch anything．I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why．He always answered，"Son，if you want to catch a fish，you have to think like a fish"，I remember being even more upset then because，"I'm not a fish!"I didn't know how to think like a fish．Besides，I reasoned，how could what I think influence what a fish does？As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant．So，I read some books on fish．And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings．I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature．That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer．Besides，water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade．Yet，fish don't have any eyelids（眼皮） and the sun huts their eyes…The more I understood fish，the more I became effective at finding and catching them．．When I grew up and entered the business world，I remember hearing my first boss say，"We all need to think like sales people．"But it didn't completely make sense．My dad never once said，"If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman．"What he said was，"You need to think like a fish．"Years later，with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me，I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers．It is not an easy job．I will show you how in the following chapters．22. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine？ ______A. He could not catch a fish．B. His father was not patient with him．C. His father did not teach him fishing．D. He could not influence a fish as his father did．23. What did the author's father really mean？ ______A. To read about fish．B. To learn fishing by oneself．C. To understand what fish think．D. To study fishing in many ways．24. According to the author，fish are most likely to be found ______ ．A. in deep water on sunny daysB. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlightD. in shallow water under waterside trees．25. After entering the business world，the author found ______ ．A. it easy to think like a customerB. his father's fishing advice inspiringC. his first boss's sales ideas reasonableD. it difficult to sell services to poor people26. This passage most likely comes from ______ ．A. a fishing guideB. a popular sales bookC. a novel on childhoodD. a millionaire's biography．CDaniel Anderson，a famous psychologist，believes it's important to distinguish television's influences on children from those of the family．We tend to blame TV，he says，for problems it doesn't really cause，overlooking our own roles in shaping children's minds．One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child's ability to think and to understand the world．While watching TV，children do not merely absorb words and images （影像）．Instead，they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see．Actually，children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows．Furthermore，as many teachers agree，children understand far more when parents watch TV with them，explaining new words and ideas．Yet，most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room．Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment．But according to Anderson，the amount of time spent watching televisionis not related to reading ability．TV doesn't take the place of reading for most children；it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation，such as listening to the radio and playing sports．Things like parents'educational background have a stronger influence on a child's reading．"A child's reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads．"Anderson says．Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ （智商） scores and affects school performance．But here，too，Anderson notes that no studies have proved it．In fact，research suggests that it's the other way around．"If you're smart young，you'll watch less TV when you're older，"Anderson says．Yet，people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers．For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children．However，by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed，Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences．27. By watching TV，children learn ______ ．A. images through wordsB. more than explicit meaningsC. more about images than wordsD. little about people's psychology28. An educational program is best watched by a child ______ ．A. on his ownB. with other kidsC. with his parentsD. with his teachers29. Which of the following is most related to children's reading ability？ ______A. Radio-listeningB. Television-watchingC. Parents'reading listD. Parents'educational background30. Anderson believed that ______ ．A. the more a child watches TV，the smarter he isB. the younger a child is，the more he watches TVC. the smarter a child is，the less likely he gets addicted to TVD. the less a child watches TV，the better he performs at school31. What is the main purpose of the passage？ ______A. To advise on the educational use of TV．B. To describe TV's harmful effects on children．C. To explain traditional views on TV influences．D. To present Anderson's unconventional ideas．DIt was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction．Each class had unique characteristics．In recent years，many writers have begun to speak the'decline of class'and'classless society'in Britain．And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class．But pronouncing the death of class is too early．A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90percent of people still placing themselves in particular class； 73percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society； and 52percent thought there were still sharp class differences．Thus，class may not be culturally and politically obvious，yet it remains an important part of British society．Britain seems to have a love of stratification．One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent．The words a person speaks tell her or his class．A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice，Most people said this accent sounded'educated'and'soft'．The accents placed at the bottom in this study，on the other hand，were regional（地区的）city accents．These accents were seen as'common'and'ugly'．However，a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least．This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice．In recent years，however，young upper middle-class people in London，have begun to adopt some regional accents，in order to hide their class origins．This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed．However，the 1995pop song'Common People'puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may'want to live like common people'they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life．32. A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain ______ ．A. it is time to end class distinctionB. most people belong to middle classC. it is easy to recognize a person's classD. people regard themselves socially different33. The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______ ．A. varietyB. most people belong to middle classC. authorityD. qualification34. The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded as ______ ．A. regionalB. educatedC. prejudicedD. unattractive35. British attitudes towards accent ______ ．A. have a long traditionB. are based on regional statusC. are shared by the AmericansD. have changed in recent years36. What is the main idea of the passage？ ______A. The middle class is expandingB. A person's accent reflects his classC. Class is a key part of British societyD. Each class has unique characteristics．37. 首先阅读下列活动介绍：A BA Night of Glamor and Intrigue at ShanghaiBund in 1930To celebrate Asia heritage month ，Trendy New York is proud to present"Cheongsam Night out-A date with Cheongsam beauties in Shanghai Bund 1930"． May 16，9：00PM-May 17，12：00AM ．EDT 330West 40th Street ，New York ．NY 10018Picking Partners-NEW YORKFeaturing adaptations from Chinese and Western classic ，including works from Chinese Academy Award-winning composer Tan Dun ，the Beijing Guitar Duo teamed up with Cuban guitar virtuoso Manuel Barrueco （right ） for a China West Concert at the New York Historical Society on April 23．C DHeroes of History ：Legacy of My ChineseFamilyJoin us as actress Tina Chen recounts thefascinating story of three generations ofher mother's family and their contributions to the history of China ． Friday ，May 8，6：30PM-7：30PMChina Institute 125East 65th Street ，New York ，NY 10065Great shorts-NEW YORK A photography exhibition held by HAN Media to celebrate its founding in New York City on April 24，featuring three emergingChinese photographers ； Yingxi Michael Shi ，Haiyin Lin and Liming Guan ，whose works have appeared in publications such asVogue ，ELLE ，The New York Times and others ．E FForbidden delights-NEW YORK The first session of the China Institute in America short course Beijing ：The City Through Its Architecture opens on Wednesday ．Nancy S ．Steinhardt discusses the Forbidden City and Beijing's imperial architecture ．Kunqu Society ，the classical Chinese theater which combines singing ，dancing and acting to literary works by masters of Ming and Qing Dynasties ，performing introduces four signature plays of Kunqu Master Jiqing Zhang to American audiences ．Sunday ，April 19，2：00PM ，ESTMiller Theatre at Columbia University2960Broadway ，New York ，NY 10027(1) Edward Leonardo Norton ，connoisseur of Chinese and Japanese antiques ．He has a strong interest in classical Chinese literary works ．He even starts going to evening classes to learn classical Chinese at Columbia University ． ______(2) Daphne Sui-yuan Tan ，former director of National Association ofPhotographers ．After reading some history books on how the first group of Chinese immigrants survived in America of the 19th century ，she has become keen on her own family history and that of others ． ______(3) Sharon Collins ，pop singer and amateur photographer ．Her marriage with a serious music critic has drawn her to his world ，so she is now crazy about classical music and will not miss any chance to attend a concert with her husband ． ______(4) Michelle Higgins ，eminent photographer and columnist for quite a fewinternationally-known travel magazines ．Recently ，she has shown great interest in photo exhibits which feature young artists with Islamic or Chinese background ． ______(5) Caroline Hugo，famous writer and influential movie critic．Last year her fantasy story which involved the mysterious Forbidden City received critical acclaim．Now she is conceiving a romance that has Shanghai of the 1930s as the setting． ______ ．38. 你接受了一项写作任务，为英语校报写一篇科技报道．[写作内容]请根据以下信息，介绍国外医疗行业出现的一项新技术．内容包括：[写作要求]只能用5个句子表达全部内容；[评分标准]句子结构准确，信息内容完整，篇章连贯．(1)(2)(3)39.

The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I’m sorry, I can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer is d own.”“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”“I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the b lack screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do?”“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”“That’s good, sir.”“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.“I have no idea. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There’s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down it won’t answer us.”After the girl told me they had no backup(备用) computer, I said. “Let’s forget the computer. What about your planes? They’re still flying, aren’t they?”“I couldn’t tell without asking the computer.”“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he’s flying to Washington, ” I su ggested.“I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket.”“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”“I wouldn’t know,” she said, po inting at the dark screen. “Only ‘IT’ knows. ‘It’ can’t tell me.”By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to othertravelers that the computer was down. Some people went white; some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.46. The best title for the article is _______.A. When the Computer Is DownB. The Most Frightening WordsC. The Computer of the AirportD. How to use the Computer47. What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passengers without asking the computer?A. She could sell a ticket.B. She could write out a ticket.C. She could answer the passengers’ questions.D. She could do nothing.48. Why do you think they had no backup computer?A. Because a computer was believed to be powerful and never went wrong.B. Because a computer would be very expensive.C. Because a computer was too old and easily down.D. Because a computer was not as big as the main computer.49. The last paragraph suggests that _______.A. a modern compu ter won’t be down.B. computers can take the place of humansC. sometimes a computer may bring suffering to peopleD. there will be great changes in computers50. What does the underlined in the last paragraph “word” mean?A. There’s no flights to Washington.B. There are no tickets left.C. The computer is down and no service will be givenD. There’s no backup computer.(B)Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it.Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself (懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don't know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor. Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.51. This text is most probably written by ______.A. a specialist in teenager studiesB. a headmaster of a middle schoolC. a parent with teenage childrenD. a doctor for mental health problems52. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______.A. the change from good to bad that’s seen in a childB. the way that parents often blame themselvesC. the opinion that a child has of his parentsD. the advice that parents want their children to follow53. The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as ______.A. lazyB. quiet G. unusual D. rude54. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters ______.A. pay no attention to themB. are too busy to look after themC. have come to hate themD. feel helpless to do much about them55. What is the author’s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?A. Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.B. Parents should pay still more attention to the change.C. Parents should work more closely with school teachers.D. Parents are at fault for the change in their children.(C)CUY AHOGA COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARYBay Village Branch, 502 Cahoon Road, 440-871-6392.The Egyptian Pyramids, 7 p.m. Sept. 19.

So you can see that flowers continue to blossom in our gardens throughout the year.”Talking about her people’s sense of care for the environment, Julie says when people in the community take along their dog, they always carry a garbage bag to deal with the dog’s waste. “In our community, you will never experience the embarrassment of stepping on the dirty waste while you are walking on the grass,” says Julie with a smile. “Taking care of the dog’s waste can a1so help to develop children’s sense of responsibility!”As to protecting water resources, the Australian government has made strict rules for families. Julie says, “We certainly would not use tap water to water the flowers!” She says almost every family in her community has a huge tank used to store rainwater, which is later used as the recollect of all outdoor water use, connect the water tank with their toilets.61.

A lot had changed in the last year. Not with my hometown but with m e. I had left as a 17-year-old boy and had now returned as an 18-year-old man. In the city, I was living on my own, had a part-ti me job and was studying. Even the government recognized I was an adult; I had a driver’s license. So here I was, on my summe r vacation, walking down the main street with my father, desperate for him to acknowledge how mature I was. When his recogn ition failed to appear, I took matters into my own hands. “Dad,” I said casually, “I’m thirsty. Let’s go for a beer.” It was the first time I‟d ever mentioned beer in front of my father, let alone ask him to drink one with me.He turned to me with a curious expression on his face. “A beer? Well I guess you’re old enough now. Let’s go to Sailors’B ar. It’s where my cousin Tom, your uncle, used to drink. You remember him, right?”I had only some vague recollection of my uncle. He was the black sheep of the family --- always in trouble. We didn’t talk ab out him much. “What ever happened to Uncle Tom, Dad? I haven’t seen him in years,” I said as we continued towards the bar.“Neither have I, unfortunately. He was a good kid once. But things changed,” my father said mournfully. As a boy, he exp lained, there had been no better-behaved boy than Tom. But after leaving school, he moved to the city and fell in with bad comp any. He started going out every night, drinking in nightclubs and playing cards. Soon he lost everything and had to beg his mum to pay his debts. She agreed on the condition he returned home.My dad took a deep breath and continued his tale. “Things settled down for a while. He married a lovely woman, gave up his bad habits. But it didn’t last. He was soon back to his old ways. He couldn’t resist. He was at Sailors’ Bar almost every night . His poor mother died of grief and shame. His wife followed her soon after.“What ruined him was alcohol. He told me once, when a man begins drinking, he never knows where it’ll end. …So‟, Tom warned me, …beware of your first drink!‟“He went from bad to worse. Last year Tom sent me a letter saying he had been found guilty of stealing, and sent to prison for ten years.”Dad finished talking just as we reached the front of Sailors’ Bar. “Anyway, here we are. Let’s go in,” he said. But I underst ood. I put my arm around my father and said, “I‟m not thirsty anymore, Dad. Let‟s go home.”26. Why did the young man invite his father to drink a beer?A. Because he was thirsty.B. Because he missed his father.C. Because he wanted to show he was an adult.D. Because he wanted to discuss his Uncle Tom.27. What was the main source of Uncle Tom‟s problems?A. His overly-strict family.B. His addiction to card games.C. The deaths of his mother and wife.D. His inability to control his drinking.28. Where is Uncle Tom now?A. In a bar.B. In prison.C. In the city.D. In his hometown.29. In the story, the father told his son about Tom in order to ________.A. warn the son to keep away from TomB. entertain the son while they walked to the barC. recall an interesting period in the father‟s lifeD. convince the son of the harm caused by drinking30. What is the correct order of the following events from Uncle Tom‟s life?a. His mother died.b. He married a lovely girl.c. He started going to nightclubs.d. He was caught stealing.e.

According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people’s IQ test scores have gotten steadily higher --- on average, three points high er each decade. This improvement is known as the “Flynn effect”, and scientists want to know what is behind it. IQ tests are des igned to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn believes that intelligence partly comes from our parents and partly is the result of our environment, but the improvement in test scores has been happening too quickly to be explained by h eredity. So what has occurred in the 20th century to help people achieve higher scores?Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general and the learning of test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others h ave pointed to better nutrition. Babies now are born larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the past. Another suggested explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for t hemselves rather than just memorizing information, which improves their problem-solving skills.Flynn has limited the possible explanations after carefully examining test data and discovering that the improvement in sco res has taken place in only certain parts of the IQ test. Test-takers are not doing better on the maths or vocabulary sections of th e test; they are doing better on the sections requiring reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of shapes, and test-takers must find the patterns and connections between them.According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases. Every time you pl ay a computer game, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test. So are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be.31. According to the passage, the “Flynn effect” is ________.A. a method used to measure intelligenceB. an increase in IQ test scores over timeC. the influence of technology on intelligenceD. a theory that connects intelligence to experience32. What is the function of the third paragraph?A. To list the findings of Professor Flynn’s research.B. To provide possible explanations that disprove Flynn’s ideas.C. To outline different theories explaining the increase in IQ scores.D. To describe how research was carried out in the measuring of intelligence.33. According to the passage, newer educational techniques include _________.A. exposing children to fewer testsB. giving children clearer teaching instructionsC. getting children to memorize lots of informationD. encouraging children to find out things themselves34. The writer believes that computer games _________.A. have discouraged people from taking exerciseB. have made young people become less intelligentC. have helped improve people‟s visual intelligenceD. have caused young people to have poorer vocabularies35. Which statement would Professor Flynn agree with?A. People today are taking easier tests.B. People today have fewer problems to solve.C. Not all aspects of intelligence have increased.D. The language ability of people has improved.COver the last 30 years, Bangkok, once a small fishing village, has transformed into the rich, concrete, high-rise city that it i s today. The sprawling metropolis and its population of 12 million now produces 35 per cent of Thailand‟s economic wealth.As a magnet for foreign companies, Bangkok attracts many overseas managers and businesspeople from different sectors, i ncluding tourism, automobiles and electronics. The city’s population of foreigners is in the high hundreds of thousands, with ten s of thousands each of Japanese, Chinese and western employees working alongside hundreds of thousands of Burmese (缅甸人) who mostly do unskilled jobs shunned by Thais.For those used to the good life, the variety and quality of the city’s food is a key attraction, says one US manager, before li sting many of his favourite Italian, Mexican and, of course, Thai restaurants. Most offer quality meals for less than the cost of a takeaway sandwich in London.Great choice and value can be found in Bangkok’s other attractions, too. For overseas businesspeople who enjoy shopping in luxury and air-conditioned comfort, the city has hundreds of modern shopping malls. Some foreigners, however, prefer the c harms of Chatuchak Market, where anything can be bought at a good price by the shrewd bargainer.When the time comes to talk business many overseas businesspeople prefer to move out of the markets and onto the golf c ourse. Thailand has thousands of courses, which can provide a welcome break from the bustle of city life. But most businesspeo ple go to the golf course because it‟s the perfect place to discuss the next big deal.Because of the fast-paced life some foreign businesspeople see Bangkok as a place to stay for the short term, rather than a l ifetime. Australian computer software designer Sarah Huang is seven months pregnant but still working fulltime in her Bangko k office. She says the city is “definitely a place I want to stay for the next five, ten years.” Nannies and home help are affordabl e, but high fees for quality secondary education have convinced Ms Huang to return to Australia when her child reaches high school age.36. According to the first two paragraphs, we know that ________.A. Bangkok has always been a rich Thai cityB. Bangkok offers many working opportunities for peopleC. most foreigners coming to Bangkok are touristsD. Burmese in Bangkok mostly work for Thais37. The underlined word “shunned” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.A. unwantedB. forgottenC. appreciatedD. rewarded38. What is the main attraction of golf for foreigners according to the passage?A. It is a good place in which to discuss business matters.B. It is the most convenient way for them to get regular exercise.C. It is a great way to escape from the noise and pollution of the city.D. It gives them the opportunity to meet local people in a social setting.39. Sarah Huang says she’ll eventually leave Bangkok because ________.A. she is going to have a babyB. her working hours are too longC. the cost of a good education there is too highD. it’s not easy to find suitable home help there40. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A. describe the attractions of living in Bangkok for foreign businesspeopleB. promote the many attractions Bangkok has to offer tourists visiting the cityC. explain the reasons for Bangkok’s rapid economic growth over the past 30 yearsD. compare the lifestyles of Burmese workers and foreign businesspeople in BangkokDCharacters in novels don’t always do what the writer wants them to do. Sometimes they cause trouble, take on lives of thei r own, or even work against the writer. It’s not just a problem for inexperienced authors: famed children’s novelist Roald Dahl s aid he got the main character in his book Matilda so “wrong” that when he’d finished his first version, he threw it away and star ted again.Of course it’s not the characters’ fault. The problem lies with the author. Take Stephen King, who admitted that writing wo rking-class characters is more difficult nowadays because his own circumstances have changed. “It is definitely harder,” King s aid. “When I wrote Carrie many years ago, I was one step away from physical labour.”This is also true for characters’ ages, added King. “When you have small children, it is easy to write young characters beca use you observe them and you have them in your life all the time. But your kids grow up. It’s been harder for me to write about this little 12-year-old girl in my new book because my models are gone.”For other authors, such as Karen Fowler, there’s one quality that can stop a character in its tracks: boredom. “I had particul ar problems with the main character in my historical novel Sister Noon,” she says. “She had attitudes about race and religion th at seemed appropriate to me for her time and class, but they were not attitudes I liked. Eventually I grew quite bored with her. Y ou can write a book about a character you dislike or a character you disagree with, but I don’t think you can write a book about a character who bores you.”According to Neel Mukherjee, it was Adinath, a character in The Lives of Others, who made him work the hardest. “I thin k I struggled because it’s difficult to write a character whose most prominent personal feature is weakness, as Adinath’s is, with out making that feature define him,” Mukherjee says. But a troublesome character is far from an unwelcome guest, he continues , arguing that “when characters work against the author they come alive and become unpredictable”.“That is a fantastic thing to happen,” Mukherjee says, “I celebrate it. It is one of the great, lucky gifts given to a writer.”41. What can we infer about Steven King‟s book Carrie?A. It was his most difficult book to write.B. It was the first successful novel King wrote.C. There were few children featured in the story.D. Some of its main characters were working class.42. Why did Karen Fowler have trouble writing the main character in her novel Sister Noon?A. She disagreed with the character’s attitudes.B. The age difference between the two was too large.C. She found the character very uninteresting.D. The historical setting made accuracy difficult.43. Neel Mukherjee believes that his difficult-to-write characters ________.A. are a sign that the story is not realisticB. are often the most interestingC. should be praised by all authorsD. need to be researched more thoroughly44. The authors who were interviewed for the passage are probably _________.A. famous and successfulB. unknown to the readersC. all from the same countryD. just starting their writing careers45. In which part of the newspaper would you expect to find the passage?A. Careers.B. Culture.C. Advice column.D. Lifestyle.第二节信息匹配 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)句子结构准确，信息内容完整，篇章结构连贯。

Mr. Black asked his 6th grade business class. It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term."Success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms." One student answered, earning（博得）laughs from all the students.Mr. Black smiled, but shook his head. "Tom, that is excess（过量）. That is not success." "How about being able to provide for your family?" A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer."Now we're getting closer," Mr. Black smiled, "but try thinking about what you need and what you want.""Getting everything you want." Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs. Mr. Black sighed（叹气）. "I believe we've already talked about excess versus（与……比较）success.""Getting everything you need, but some of what you want?" James, sitting in the back wondered aloud."Quite right!" Mr. Black clapped. "Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do"What does this have to do with business?" Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn't funny, he wasn't happy."Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to（确保）their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.""What if I don't have a family?" he continued to be difficult."Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.""He has goldfish to think about!" Peter, Tom's friend, shouted out."Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl." Mr. Black corrected himself. Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer."So in the next nine weeks, we're going to study basic business situations, like having a checking account and understanding credit cards（信用卡）."Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. "When do we get to start spending?""You already are, Tom. You're spending time with us!" Mr. Black laughed. "Now, let's see what you guys know about credit cards…"（1）What was Mr. Black?A A headmaster.B A businessman.C A teacher.D An official.（2）Which student didn't seem to be taking the class seriously?A Tom.B James.C Peter.D Sandy.（3）How did Mr. Black make his class lively and interesting?A He told some jokes.B He played jokes with the students.C He showed some exam ples to his students.D He got his students to take part in a discussion.（4）According to the passage, which word can best describe Mr. Black?A Strange.B Patient.C Shy.D Proud.（5）What can be the best title of this passage?A Get What You WantB Needs and WantsC Try to Get More MoneyD How to Live Well4. Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out.Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless at science and was at bottom of his class. Now, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 NobelPrize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell（干细胞）researcher Shinya Yamanaka.Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance （坚持）can lead.When he was 15 in 1948, Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdon's high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was "quite ridiculous".In spite of his teacher's criticisms（批评）, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures."My own belief is that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actually work," Gurdon said.In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic（基因的）information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create the sheep Dolly in 1996, the first cloned mammal（哺乳动物）in the world.In 2006, Gurdon's work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample（样本）of a person's skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patient's heart after a heart attack."Luck favors the prepared mind," Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. "Ninety percent of the time things don't work, but when they do, you have to seize（抓住）the chance."（1）Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine?A Sir John Gurdon.B Shinya Yamanaka.C Sir John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka.D Gurdon's science teacher.（2）What does the underlined word "ridiculous" mean?A 荒谬的.B 无畏的.C 荒废的.D 无知的.（3）In what order are the following events mentioned in the passage?a. create the sheep Dollyb. take a cell from an adult frogc. use a person's skin to create stem cellsd. move a frog's genetic information into an egg celle. grow into a clone of the adult frogA b-a-c-d-e.B b-d-e-a-c.C b-d-a-e-c.D b-c-d-a-e.（4）According to the passage, which statement is TRUE?A Sheep Dolly was the first cloned animal in the world.B Gurdon ranked first at his high school in biology.C It's impossible for the doctors to repair a patient's heart after a heart attack.D According to the science teacher, Gurdon was not a gifted student.（5）What's the main idea of the passage?A Ninety percent of the time things don't work.B Luck favors the prepared mind.C L ife is full of pleasure.D How to know cells actually work.We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?" "When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog." Is he really on your side? If he says, "You're a lucky guy." or "You're a lucky gal." That's being friendly. But "lucky dog"? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is he doesn't think you deserve your luck.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture（体态）? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. Spend some time thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you, and you may save another mistake.（1）The questions in the first paragraph tell us that the speaker ______.A feels happy because his friends were nice to himB feels he may not have "read"his friends'true feelings correctly C thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend Hel en D is sorry that his friends let him down（2）From the example "You're a lucky dog", we can learn that ______.A the speaker of the sentence is friendlyB it means the same as"You're a lucky guy" C sometimes the words used by the speaker give a tip to the feeling behind the words D the word "dog" shouldn't be used to describe a person（3）The passage tries to tell you how to ______.A avoid mistakes about money and friendsB bring the "dog"bit into our conversation C be friendly to other people D avoid mistakes in understan ding what people tell you（4）What is important in listening to a person?A To notice his tone,his posture and the look in his eyes. B To listen to how he pronounces his words. C T o check if his words go well with his manner,his tone of voice and his posture. D Don't believe what he says.（5）If you follow the writer's advice, you would ______.A be able to get the real meaning of people's wordsB avoid any mistakes while talking w ith the people who envy youC not lose real friends who say things that do not please youD be able to observe people as they are talking to you6.（1）If you want to make a Christmas plan together with your children,which book do you prefer?A First Festival: Christmas.B The Not-So-Wise Man. C Star of Wonder. D My Very First Christmas Book.（2）Which number would you dial if you want to order a book for your 2-year-old child?A 020-8874 3566.B 020-8521 3745.C 020-3478 3366.D 020-8571 2008.（3）If your child wants to read stories of animals, whose book will be your choice?A Beth Webb.B Pat Alexander.C Elizabeth Goudge.D Lois Rock.（4）The book about a fairy story may cost you ______.A ￥18.99B ￥15.99C ￥12.99D ￥10.99（5）What's the main purpose of the poster?A To introduce Jesus Christ.B To tell children how to celebrate Christmas.C To adve rtise the books.D To raise money for children aged 0-12.第二节：阅读填空（共1小题；每小题5分，满分5分）根据短文内容，将下面A-E五个句子分别填入文中空缺处，使补全后的短文意思通顺，结构完整．请把答案的编号写在答卷相应题号的横线上．7.根据短文内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺，内容完整。

But if you’re one of those people who can’t stop snapping photos at an important event, beware-you could end up fo rgetting it all in a flash.Experts have warned that the addiction to recording every moment of our lives could be having an adverse effect on our m emories.Maryanne Garry, a New Zealand psychology professor, has been studying how the frequent taking of photos might change childhood memories. “I think the problem is that people are forgetting to experience the moment,” she says. Parents at the park taking one photo after another of their children, for example, are actually paying less attention to what is happening around the m. The picture only captures a small party of the total experience. And because parents remember less about these important ev ents, they become less effective in their role as the key people who help children learn how to talk about their experiences. As a result, children‟s own childhood memories are reduced.The idea that we are experiencing less as we record more got psychologist Linda Henkel thinking. She wanted to explore h ow photographs shape our memories.Henkel, who researches human memory at Fairfield University in Connecticut, did an experiment by sending groups of students to the university’s art museum. The students observed some objects and photographed others. Then, back at the laboratory, th ey were given a memory test. Henkel found what she called a “photo-taking effect”. The students remembered fewer of the obje cts that they had taken photos of, and they remembered fewer details about those objects. She says her students’ memories were worse because they were relying on the camera to remember the details for them.“As soon as you hit …click‟ on that camera, it’s as if you’ve outsourced your memory,” she says.26. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to __________.A. an important eventB. a child‟s birthdayC. A valuable photographD. A family holiday27. According to Garry, what will be the result of parents frequently taking photos of their children?A. Parents will be very skillful at taking photos.B. Children will enjoy many more beautiful pictures.C. Parents will appreciate these important moments less.D. Children will become more important in their parents’ eyes.28. According to Paragraph 3, why are children‟s memories reduced?A. Flash lights are causing children to forget more things.B. Parents are not interested in listening to children’s experiences.C. Children are more interested in taking photos than experiencing.D. Parents are less effective in helping children discuss their experiences.29. How did Henkel develop her theory about the “photo-taking effect”?A. By carrying out an experimentB. By giving a questionnaireC. By interviewing a group of studentsD. By researching the findings of the others30. What‟s the purpose of this passage?A. To introduce a new discovery in taking photos.B. To discuss the effect of photo-taking on memory.C. To explain how to use cameras in an effective way.D. To describe the ways of remembering valuable experiences.BThe human body is an amazing machine. It’s tough, and we usually recover from illness or injury on our own, without the help of a doctor. But what happens when we need medical treatment? In the past, some people went to a hospital to see a medic al doctor. Others preferred traditional treatments, such as herbal medicine or acupuncture (针灸).These two types of medicine-one modern and Western and the other ancient and Eastern-used to have nothing to do with e ach other.In recent years, however, people have begun combining both modern medical science and more traditional treatments. This new kind of medicine is often called integrative medicine because it integrates, or combines, different types of medical approac hes. Some of the principles of integrative medicine include preventing illness by helping people stay healthy, integrating differe nt types of treatments according to patient needs, and considering the health of the whole person rather than concentrating on a particular illness or injury.One health organization in America has opened its Integrative Medicine and Wellness Center. At the center, members are offered different services. Those suffering backache can try massage to relax their muscles and encourage the flow of healing ene rgy in their body. Those with allergies are helped to develop their body‟s natural resistance. And those who aren‟t ill, but want to improve their strength and focus their mind, take tai chi or yogo classes.Integrative medicine patients appreciate having an alternative to surgery or to drugs and their harmful side effects. They a lso enjoy activities and treatments that make them feel better even if they are not sick. And economically, preventing illness is much less expensive than a hospital stay.According to Dr. Andrew Weil, founder of the Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, integrative m edicine combines the best parts of Western medicine with traditional therapies. And because both doctors and patients are worki ng to prevent illness, they become partners with the same goal instead of strangers who see each other only when the patient is sick.31. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A. Western medicineB. Acupuncture and herbal medicineC. Changes in medical educationD. Combining modern and traditional medicine32. By using the underlined statement “preventing illness by helping people stay healthy” in Paragraph 2, the writer wants to _.A. provide advice on how to stay healthyB. describe a principle of integrative medicineC. recommend modern medicine over traditional medicineD. explain why some people doubt the effectiveness of new treatments33. Which of the following is an example of integrative medicine?A. Having a heart operation.B. Taking a pain killer for a headache.C. Using herbal treatments after an operation.D. Having herbal medicine and acupuncture.34. Which is NOT mentioned as an advantage of integrative medicine?A. Patients take actions to avoid getting ill.B. It costs less than medical care in hospitals.C. Patients have more choices in terms of treatment.D. Doctors are able to carry out more medical research.35. According to Dr. Weil, with integrative medicine, __________.A. the doctor gives the orders and the patient follows passivelyB. doctor and patient see each other occasionally if there is a problemC. doctor and patient work together so that the patient does not become illD. doctor and patient perform the same role in providing medical treatmentCThe old man fished alone in a small rowboat and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish the boy’s patents had told him that the old man was now bad l uck, and ordered the boy to join another boat, which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old ma n come in each day with his boat empty and he always went down to help him carry in the fishing lines or take down the old, pa tched sail.“Santiago,” the boy said to him as they dragged up the boat to the sand. “I could go with you again. I’ve made some mone y.” the old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him. “No,” the old man said. “You’re with a lucky boat. Stay with t hem. You must obey your father.”“We can be lucky again too. Remember when we didn’t catch a fish for 10 days, then caught a big one each day for a month?” said the boy. “Can I offer you a beer on the balcony and then we’ll take the stuff home,” said t he boy. “Why not?” the old man said.“Santiago,” the boy said as they sat on the balcony, “If I cannot fish with you, I would like to serve in some way.”“You bo ught me a beer,” the old man said, lifting the bottle to his mouth. “Do you remember the first time I took you out to fish?” the ol d man asked. “I was five. I remember the tail of a huge fish slapping against the boat, the noise of you clubbing him and the sw eet blood smell. I remember everything from when we first went together,” the boy said. The old man looked at him with his su n-burned, loving eyes.“May I get some sardines for tomorrow? Let me get four fresh ones,” said the boy. “One,” the old man said. His hope an d his confidence had never gone. But now they were freshening like a sea breeze. “Two,” the boy said. “Thank you,” the old ma n said. He was too simple to wonder when he had attained modesty. But he knew he had attained it and he knew it was not disgr aceful and it carried no loss of true pride. “Tomorrow is going to be a good day with this wind,” he said. “I will row far out befo re it is light. There will going to be a good day with this wind,” he said. “I will row far out before it is light. There will be a bigfish?” asked the boy. “I think so. And I know many tricks.”36. When did the boy stop working with the old man?A. 40 days ago.B. 44 days ago.C. 80 days ago.D. 84 days ago37. Why was the boy forced to stop working for the old man?A. It was too dangerous to continue fishing.B. It was time for the boy to return to school.C. The old man was thought to be a poor teacher.D. The boy couldn’t earn enough money with the old man.38. In paragraph 2, the boy probably mentioned their past fishing experiences in order to __________.A. convince the old man that he should not retireB. explain why he had to stop working for the old manC. persuade the old man to let him return as his assistantD. warn the old man about the danger of fishing in the deep sea39. Which of the following did the boy NOT do for the old man?A. Buy him a beer.B. Repair the sail.C. Drag up the boat.D. Take in the fishing equipment.40. What can we lean about the old man from the last paragraph?A. He remained optimistic about catching fish.B. He was the most skillful fisherman in the village.C. He would stay out longer than any other fisherman.D. He would usually go out further than any other boat.DAt the start of the 20th century, a new city was beginning to grow on some flat land near the sea in southern California; its name was Los Angeles. At the same time, a new industry was just being born: the cinema.America’s movie industry began life in New York; but by 1910, movie-makers were moving to Los Angeles. In New York, e verything was too expensive: workers, land, taxes. Moreover, it was difficult to make movies in winter, because it was too cold. The Los Angeles region, on the other hand, was full of advantages. In California, they could make films all through the year; an d everything was cheaper. In particular, there was lots of land for sale, especially in the Los Angeles suburb called Hollywood. Movies quickly became very popular, and this popularity exploded after “talkies” first appeared in 1925. Nevertheless, movies were expensive to produce, and film companies needed money-lots of it. For this reason, Hollywood rapidly became controlled by a small number of big companies such as MGM, 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros. and Paramount. Since then, the big compa nies fortunes have ebbed and flowed, but most of them are still there. Some old names have disappeared, but some new ones ha ve appeared, companies like Walt Disney and Steven Spielberg’s company Amblin. Today the biggest studios belong to huge int ernational firms. For instance, News Corporation, which now owns Fox, also owns newspapers on three continents, and TV net works in America, Europe and Asia.It is only huge companies like Fox that can afford to make today’s very expensive films; and for Titanic-at the time the mo st expensive film ever mad-Fox had to get help from another big company, Paramount!Once Hollywood mad films just for America; today it makes them for the world. It’s the center of a global dream-machine. Perhaps we dreamed differently in the past. Today, thanks in part to Hollywood, people everywhere have similar dreams.We now live in the age of global culture. Hollywood did not invent this culture-but for better or for worse, it has become o ne of the most powerful elements in it. Like it or not, we all now live on planet Hollywood.41. What attracted the film industry to Los Angeles?A. Cheaper costs and pleasant weather.B. More talented actors and mild climate.C. More skilled workers and plentiful land.D. Large movie companies and lower wages.42. Why did a few companies come to control the American film industry?A. They were already experienced in film production.B. They were able to employ the most creative people.C. These companies were the first to make talkie films.D. Small companies could not afford the film production costs.43. The underlined “ebbed and flowed” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to __________.A. improved rapidlyB. gone up and downC. remained very stableD. worsened gradually44. Which of the following is true about the Hollywood movie companies?A. They sometimes work together to produce movies.B. They produce expensive movies far less often than in the past.C. The same companies have controlled the industry for almost 100 years.D. There are many large companies competing against each other for success.45. What does the writer think about the international influence of Hollywood?A. It has encouraged people to dream like Americans.B. It has made foreigners love American people more.C. It has become a driving force in shaping global culture.D. It has damaged the local film industry in other countries. 第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）第二节读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
