At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, Mostly married. (80) The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago - so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than gibing them actual instruction.The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of thefact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. Ti probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.11.

The American educational system emphasizes _____.A. material wealthB. competitionC. co-operationD. personal benefit15. The word “sociable” (Line 8, Paragraph2) most probably means _____.A. fond of talking freelyB. friendly with other peopleC. concerned about social welfareD. happy at schoolPart Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

The daguerreotype required an exposure (12) ______ of several minutes, making it difficult to photograph moving objects.In the 1860s, portable box cameras were introduced, allowing photography to become accessible to more people. A significant development was made by George Eastman, who introduced film in the 1880s, replacing heavy and fragile glass plates. This made photography more convenient and led to the establishment of Kodak, one of the leading companies in the industry today.Photography continued to evolve with the introduction of color film in the mid-20th century. Digital photography, which began to gain popularity in the 1990s, brought about a revolution in the industry by eliminating the need for film and allowing instant image viewing and editing.Today, photography is more accessible than ever, with cameras integrated into smartphones, making everyone a potential photographer capturing moments in their daily lives.[考试答案]1.

One by one,graffiti-covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far, more than 1,800 murals〔壁画〕have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.The walls that were once ugly with graffiti〔涂鸦〕are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program <MAP>. Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia's Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP's artistic director. "When people ask me what our program is about," she says, "I answer them with one word: hope." Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some one-time graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.The MAP's work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of munity〔社区〕．When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been "Safe Streets," "Love and Care," and "Peace Walk."The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals."The making of a mural enters people's collective memory as an extraordinary, pleasant moment in neighborhood history" says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.41．What can be the best title for the text?A. Love, from Graffiti Writers to MuralistsB. MAP, a New pany in PhiladelphiaC. Jane, an Excellent Mural ArtistD. Hope, One Wall at a Time42. What is the Mural Arts Program in Philadelphia aimed at? A. Helping the young find jobs. B. Protecting the neighborhood. C. Fighting against graffiti. D. Attracting more visitors.43．How does the MAP decide on the message for a mural? A. By having discussions with people in the munity. B．By seeking advice from the city government. C．By learning from the young graffiti writers. D. By studying the history of the city.44. Which of the following words best describes the work of the MAP? A. Difficult. B．Dangerous. C. Experimental．D. Successful.BFor those who study the development of intelligence〔智力〕in the animal world, self-awareness is an important measurement. An animal that is aware〔意识〕of itself has a high level of intelligence.Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own reflected image〔反射出的影像〕.Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying evry little attention tothe reflected image. Only humans, and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins, have shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.Now another animal has joined the club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that an Asian elephant has passed the mirror self-reflection test."We thought that elephants were the next important animal,〞 said Dinana Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation Society, an author of the study with Joshua M.Plotnik and Fans B.M. de Waal of Emory University. With their large brains, Reiss said, elephants "seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins.〞The researchers tested Happy, Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo.They put an 8-foot-square mirror on a wall of the animals’ play area <out of the sight of zoo visitors> and recorded what happened with cameras, including one built in the mirror.The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it, and to examine parts of their bodies.Of the three, Happy then passed the test, in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.Diana Reiss said, "We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a better way."45. What can mirror tests tell us about animals? A. Whether they have large brains. B．Whether they have self-awareness. C. Whether they enjoy outdoor exercises.D. Whether they enjoy playing with mirrors.46. Why does the author mention apes and dolphins in the text? A. They are most familiar to readers. B. They are big favorites with zoo visitors. C. They are included in the study by Reiss. D. They are already known to be intelligent.47. What made Happy different from Maxine and Patty? A. She used her nose to search behind the mirror. B. She recognized her own image in the mirror. C. She painted a mark on her own face. D. She found the hidden camera.C Student Membership--Cambridge Arts CinemaCambridge Arts Cinema is one of the art houses in Britain and home of the internationally celebrated Cambridge Film Festival. Since 1947 generations of students have discovered the wealth of world cinema. Now you too can make most of it and save money.48. Which of the following is the most famous event held at Cambridge Arts Cinema?A. The Cambridge Film Festival.B. Meetings with filmmakers.C. The preview screening.D. Monthly premieres.49.

How long will the membership for Cambridge Arts Cinema last? A. Four months.B. Eight months.C. Nine months.D. One year.51．For what purpose is the text written?A. Offering students cheaper tickets．B. Announcing the opening of a premiere.C. Telling the public of the cinema's address.D. Increasing the cinema's membership.DThe way we do things round hereSome years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, "Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us." That "quite" saddened me. I thought he was saying "we're kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else." Then I discovered that in American English "quite" sometimes means "very", while in British English it means "fairly".So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don't just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures〔文化〕．Some of these differences may be only on the surface-dress, food and hours of work-while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate〔气候〕,while getting on with business.Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality〔准时〕．If you invite people to a party at 7 o'clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in theAmerican Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word "late" because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country..isujiao.52. The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought______． A. the American bank didn't think much of him B. the American bank might hire another person C. it's difficult to get used to American culture D. it's easy to misunderstand Americans53．The word "highlights" in Paragraph 2 probablymeans_____. A. encourages B. helps to narrow C. increases D. draws attention to54. According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences? A. Ask the native people for help. B. Understand and accept them. C. Do things in our own way. D. Do in-depth research.55. When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are______. A. Italians B. Germans C. Greeks D. the BritishE"I didn't hear them call my name," explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens <AT> as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. "Are you ready?" is what she heard. Then she said, "I shook my head no, and then they said ‘yes’ and it was announced again."It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana----she was still on cloud nine．"I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen." Present in the audience〔观众〕that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why herdance teacher had traveled so far to see her pete〔比赛〕．"She's always been my role model．I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her."One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, "I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot...〞As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens 〔青少年〕about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Sheiley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, "Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself."56.What do the words "on cloud nine〞 in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. frightenedB. troubledC. very happyD. very angry57.Shelley takes her dance teachers as a role medel mainly because she is . A. determined B. friendly C. strict D.experienced58.How many children did the Hennigs have according to the text? A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.59.What did Shelley often do after she became Miss Louisiana Teen?A. She visited drunken drivers.B. She gave dance performance.C. She made speeches on safe driving.D. She helped other teens with their studies.60.What suggestion does Shelley give to the teens?A. Be yourself with the support of friends. B．Meet friends whenever possible. C. Go easy on yourself and others. D. Have a good role model.第二节、根据对话内容,从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.选项中有两项为多余选项.---Excuse me, have you been waiting long?----About ten minutes.61------Not while I’ve been standing here.

Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil. Questions 61 ~ 65 are based on the following passage:There are three common calendar systems in use by the United States higher education institution. Semester Systems are one of them.The academic year is divided into two terms, each of which provides for about 15 weeks of instruction plus a week for final examinations. The fall semester, considered the first term of the academic year, usually begins in September or late August, and it is increasingly common for the term to start early enough to be completed before the two-week Christmas holiday. Colleges start later in September. The second or spring semester usually begins sometime in January and ends in late May or early June. Most schools schedule a one- or two-week vacation in March or April. A variation of the semester system being tried by some institutions is the “4—1—4” calendar, which has a four-month fall semester ending in December, a one-month short term in January for which students may enroll if they wish, and another four-month semester beginning early in February.61. In the United States, the students will stay in school for about _D___ a year.A. 15 weeksB. 16 weeksC. 30 weeksD. 32 weeks62. The academic year begins _B__.A. in late SeptemberB. in late AugustC. sometime in JanuaryD. in late May63. The first term ends __C__.A. after Christmas holidayB. in MayC. before Christmas holidayD. in fall64. The second term lasts about _D___.A. five monthsB. four monthsC. six monthsD. five or six months65. In the “4—1—4” calendar system, the first term begins _B__.A. In DecemberB. In AugustC. In JanuaryD. In FebruaryQuestions 66~70 are based on the following passage:In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same faces. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are call ed “the weaker sex”, or, if men want to please them, “the fair sex”. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s times are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surp rise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teen-age girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds whenshe was only 16. The first “Tarzan”(泰山) in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weiss Muller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!66. Women are called “the weaker sex” because _B___.A. women do as much work as menB. people think women are weaker than menC. sport is easier for men than for womenD. in sport the two sexes are always together67. Which of the following is true? BA. Boys and girls study separately everywhere.B. Women do not run or swim in races with men.C. Famous Prime Ministers are women.D. Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.68. “That at least is what people say.” Means people__C__.A. say other things tooB. don’t say this muchC. say this but may not think soD. only think this69. What problems does sport have? BA. Some women athletes are actually men.B. Some women athletes are given hormone injections.C. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.D. It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.70. In this passage the author implies that _C___.A. women are weaker than men, but fasterB. women are slower than men, but strongerC. men are not always stronger and faster than womenD. men are faster and stronger than womenQuestions 71~75 are base on the following passage:The stamp collector can learn a great deal from the colorful pieces of paper he put in his album. In addition to learning some basic things about organization and systematic arrangement, the stamp collector can receive a good course in history and geography from stamps. As a collector progresses and becomes more specialized, stamps teach him some basic facts about engraving, paper, and printing.Stamps are excellent sources of historical information. Almost every nation celebrates its military heroes and political leaders on its postage stamps. But scientists and artists, from Einstein to Beethoven, also grace the stamps of the world. Famous battles are frequently commemorated, as well as buildings an d scenes which have historical significance. Several of the world’s stamps are beautiful, full-color reproductions of the artistic masterpieces of different historical periods.Stamps also offer instruction in geography. It doesn’t take long before a begin ning collector checks the locations of the countries from which his stamps come. Nations like Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra, Gabon, Ghana, and Afghanistan, while unknown to many, are usually quitefamiliar to stamp collectors. Moreover, each country tends to use stamps to advertise its natural wonders. Such renowned attractions as Yosemite National Park, Victoria Falls, Mount Everest, and the Bay and Fundy appear on the stamps of the nation within whose borders they lie.If he wishes to become more of a specialist, the stamp collector can learn some basic things about engraving, paper, and printing. The more advanced collector learns to distinguish between offset and letterpress printing. He learns to identify the different impressions made by metal and wooden engraved plates. He finds out how to detect watermarks in the various papers used for stamps, and how to identify the characteristics of different papers and the coatings which are applied to them. To the layman, most stamps appear pretty much the same. But armed with a magnifying glass, the more specialized collector can tell the difference between a common issue and a rare variety.71. Which of the following statements do you think best describes the main idea of the essay? CA. A stamp collector must have a great deal of knowledge in history and geography.B. A stamp collector should be good at organization and systematic arrangement.C. A stamp collector can learn a lot from the stamps he collects.D. A stamp collector is a specialist who know much about engraving, paper and printing.72.

Translation from English into Chinese (15 marks)Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 76~80. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese.Science falls into two main categories: pure science and applied science. (96) Pure science considers how the universe works and how life has developed into the plants and animals we see on earth today. By means of pure science(such as chemistry, physics, geology, biology, or astronomy) we learn the laws of nature, the way the bodies of beasts and men are constructed, and how the minds of men function. (97) Applied science, often called engineering or technology (such as civil, mechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering), puts the laws of nature to practical use on building better structures and machines for the comfort and convenience of men. When a man learns some new fact by research in pure science, we say that he has made a scientific discovery. 98) When he puts an earlier discovery to some practical use, in a new and original way, we say that he has made an invention. In the two hundred years since the beginning of the great change that we call the Industrial Revolution, developments both in pure and in applied sciencespeeded up in a way that the world had never before seen. All the sciences leaped forward, neck and neck like horses in a race. (99) At one time, one pulled ahead; then another caught up with and passed it. An invention in one field made possible some discovery in another; and that discovery, in turn, permitted another new application of science for the benefit of man. (100) For example: the invention of the microscope led to the discovery of germs; eventually, the germ theory of disease made possible the curing of many ills for which no effective treatment had ever before been know.答：96. 理论科学研究宇宙怎样运行，生命怎样发展成为我们今天在地球上所看到的植物和动物。

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneThe comfort zone is our living, work, and social environments that we have grown accustomed to. It determines the type of friends we make or people we associate with. It determines a life style we accept or reject.Young people are very adaptable; they can adjust to changing comfort zones with ease. They can socialize with homeless people in the morning and be equally at ease at a formal banquet in the evening. As we age, the ability to adapt to wide-ranging comfort zones becomes more difficult. Social prejudice narrows the comfort zone range. The comfort zone can be a decision making tool.Comfort zones are directly related to our dreams or goals, which is associated with self-fulfilling prophecy（预言）. In order to grow and change, we must first be discontent with our current comfort zone. We must realize that all meaningful and lasting changes occur firstin daydreaming and then they work their way into reality. The more clearly and vividly we fantasize our dream, the stronger and more real the pictures on the subconscious level will become. Once our subconscious accepts this image and it’s expectation, it will go to work, searching for a way to bring the dream into reality. If we feel that these things are too good for us, we will find ways to fail. If, however, we intentionally imagine the change we want, build an expectation of the change mentally and emotionally, and we will find ways to acquire dream and, when mentally ready, it will arrive faster than we ever thought possible.For some people, problems, suffering, poverty, bad breaks are their comfort zone. They find comfort in finding fault and complaining about their misfortune. The same is true for businesses. Management and workers have grown used to seeing things go wrong and expect them to. Management finds comfort in finding fault with workers and vice versa.Note if the comfort zone we are seeking is beyond our current income, then, we need to develop a service that has greater value than our current one. Money, power and influence are not goals; they are rewards only for personal achievement.16. As one grows older, .A. one’s comfort zone becomes narrowerB. one finds comfort zone more easilyC. one becomes more sympatheticD. one behaves better in social gatherings17. What does “be discontent with our current comfort zone” (Para. 3) mean?A. Be prepared to realize our dreams.B. Keep dreaming of unrealistic goals.C. Picture our dreams clearly and vividly.D. Be dissatisfied with our present life.18. According to the author, daydreaming .A. requires a clear goal in mindB. does little good to the pursuit of happinessC. prepares us for meaningful changes in lifeD. wastes our time and energy19. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that .A. comfort zone may lead to conflictsB. comfort zone is not necessarily positiveC. people tend to find fault with themselvesD. survival is hard in business circles20. By seeking a better comfort zone, people aim to .A. make greater achievementB. make more moneyC. be more influentialD. gain greater powerPassage TwoEntire cultures operate on elaborate systems of indirectness. For example, it is discovered in a small research project that most Greeks assumed that a wife who asked, “Would you like to go to the party?” was hinting that she wanted to go. They felt that she wouldn’t bring it up if she didn’t want to go. Furthermore, they felt, she would not state her preference directly because that would sound like a demand. Indirectness was the appropriate means for communicating her preference.Japanese culture has developed indirectness to a fine art. For example, a Japanese professor, Harumi Befu, explains the delicate exchange of indirectness required by a simple invitation to lunch. When his friend extended the invitation, Befu first had to determine whether it was meant literally or just a ritual, much as an American might say, “We’ll have to have you over for dinner some time” but would not expect you to turn up at the door. Having decided the invitation was meant literally and having accepted, Befu was then asked what he would like to eat. Following custom, he said anything would do, but his friend, also following custom, pressed him to specify. Host and guest repeated this exchange an appropriate number of times, until Befu thought it polite to answer the question—politely—by saying that tea over rice would be fine. When he arrived for lunch, he was indeed served tea over rice—as the last course of a luxurious meal. Befu was not surprised by the feast, because he knew that custom required it. Had he been given what he asked for, he would have been insulted. But custom also required that he make a great show of being surprised.21. According to Paragraph 1, Greeks believe that women .A. would like to give demandsB. use more questions than statementsC. carefully weave their wishes into questionsD. are afraid of expressing personal opinions22. On receiving a lunch invitation, Befu first has to .A. decide whether to accept it or notB. figure out what he would like to eatC. pretend to show great surpriseD. judge whether the invitation is serious23. Why would Befu ask for tea over rice?A. To be polite by making things easy.B. It is his favorite.C. To avoid being insulted.D. To end the conversation quickly.24. Which of the following statements is true?A. Befu was served exactly what he had asked for.B. It would be impolite to serve a simple lunchC. Befu was surprised by the last course for lunch.D. Befu acted like he enjoyed his meal a lot.25. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Greeks and Japanese are well known for being indirect.B. Indirectness is evident in many cultures.C. Meals reveal a lot about a particular culture.D. People sometimes tell lies with good intention.Passage ThreeIn Western culture, an engagement begins with “yes”to a simple question: “Will you marry me?” these heart-stopping words often come with a beautiful diamond ring. The man making the proposal may get down on one knee. In fact, men have relied on this simple, romantic method of proposing marriage for years.Today, this is no longer true for everyone. Consider how Justin Firestone proposed to Natalie Abreu. The couple took a helicopter tour over the black sands of Honomanu Bay, Hawaii. Suddenly Abreu saw “Will you marry me Natalie?” spelled out below with coconuts. Her answer was an astonished “Yes!”Firestone’s proposal took weeks of planning and help from a professional. But for menlike him, the effort put into the proposal was worth it. Many guys want to show how serious they are about marriage through an impressive proposal. Some even want to give their future brides something to brag about.Public proposals—at sports games, concerts and other events—are common. But some men don’t settle for their proposal scrolling（滚动）across a big screen before thousands. Millions saw Joe Uva’s proposal on a reality TV show. His girlfriend, Laura O’Donnell, walked into an office and saw friends and family holding flowers. With the cameras rolling, Uva walked out from among them to propose. O’Donnell said yes, to the relief of Uva and his audience.Other men have chosen proposals that reflect the couple’s unique relationship. Such proposals take place at a favorite restaurant or involve a shared hobby. Bernie Peng, for example, programs video games, and Tammy Li enjoys playing them. When Peng proposed to Li, he made a small change in her favorite game. When she played it, a ring and marriage proposal appeared. They recently got married!These men were confident they would get the answer they wanted. But that’s not the point: Creative proposals leave memories to be cherished.26. What will men do in a traditional proposal?A. Use beautiful words.B. Buy diamonds in advance.C. Plan it for months.D. Save a lot of money.27. Which of the following statements is true?A. Firestone didn’t speak out the proposalB. Firestone planned the proposal by himself.C. Natalie had expected the proposal on their trip.D. Fireston e’s proposal was inexpensive.28. What does “to brag about” (Para. 3) probably mean?A. To talk about with pride.B. To remember someone.C. To think about seriously.D. To look around carefully.29. Which of the proposals was witnessed by the largest number of people?A. Firestone’s.B. Abreu’s.C. Joe Uva’sD. Peng’s.30. What is the author’s opinion towards creative proposals?A. They are likely to get positive answers.B. They reveal men’s confidence.C. They are beautiful memories in life.D. They take great courage and wisdom.Passage FourA British teenager has become a multi-millionaire after selling an application software he created to web giant Yahoo. The deal is reported to be worth up to 30 million dollars and includes a position working on Yahoo’s future mobile projects. Nick D’Aloisio, 17, started his Summly app（应用软件）when he was just 15. he was studying for school exams and became frustrated at ploughing through lengthy online articles. He created the app to summarize long reports so that people could more easily understand the content. Yahoo’s boss of mobile content development Adam Cahan said: “It started with an insight that we live in a world of constant information and need new ways to simplify how we find the stories that are important to us, at a glance.”Nick taught himself to write software when he was 12 years old. He developed the bulk of his Summly app in his bedroom. He launched his app when he was 15 and it soon attractedover 1.5 million dollars of investment, including from Hollywood stars Ashton Kutcher and Stephen Fry.The purchase by Yahoo makes the British teen one of the world’s youngest self-made millionaires. He believes his connection with Yahoo is perfect, saying: “To me, Yahoo is the best company to be joining right now because it’s one of these classic Internet companies. With new leadership from Marissa Mayer, Yahoo has a strong focus on mobile and product, and that’s the perfect match for Summly.”He says his parents will help him manage the financial windfall（飞来之财）but that he was not driven to the deal by dollar signs. “Technology has really been the driver behind this whole deal,” he said. “I can’t wait to see how it plays out at Yahoo.”31.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.When we meet a person, our first impression is based on their body language and their speech. When someone goes up on a stage, or gives a presentation at a business meeting, many pairs of eyes will be following and judging this person. If you are up there and talking, you want to give your best impression. While many workshops and online videos focus on teaching us how to adjust our body language to appear confident and convince others of our message, less attention is given to how we phrase things. Speech should flow, but there is this one little bad habit most of us have—one that builds a dam in our flowing sentences. This habit makes our message sound as if we are building our foundations on quicksand. Do you know which bad habit I mean? It is the habit of using that not-even-a-word in too many sentences, i.e., the habit of saying “uhm”—something we generally are not even aware of. When we let this habit slip into our speech, it weakens our message, and our audience and clients will be less convinced of our claims. The nasty thing about “uhm” is that it’ s often too tiny to even notice. It has become part of our expressions and virtually everybody does it. Therefore, it takes practice and effort to unlearn stuffing our sentences with it. To get a hold of your bad habit of using “uhm” , you can try the following exercises: 1)Record your speech when you prepare: 2)Write out your entire speech beforehand: 3)Take a moment to center yourself: and 4)Speak a little more slowly. Make a pledge today: drop the “uhm”!16．The main topic of the passage is______.A．how to give a good impressionB．how to use body languageC．how to build confidenceD．how to make your speech flow正确答案：D17．By the “bad habit” , the author refers to______.A．speaking very slowlyB．speaking too fastC．speaking in a broken wayD．speaking in a critical way正确答案：C18．The “bad habit” is harmful because it makes the speaker look______.A．stupidB．unpreparedC．unconfidentD．unfriendly正确答案：C19．The word “unlearn” (Para. 5)can be replaced with “______.”A．undoB．stopC．breakD．move正确答案：B20．The last paragraph is concerned with______.A．the strategies to get rid of the bad habitB．the importance of forming good habitsC．the difficulties in speech preparationD．the necessity of being confident正确答案：AIn the old days, when schools wanted to communicate with parents, they sent a letter home. Now, in addition to email, schools and parents can connect through social media like Twitter, Facebook and Skype. The Houston Independent School District in Texas has more than two hundred thousand students. Most of them come from lower-income families. Education Week recently reported on a digital literacy training program that the district has just started for parents. The school district with help from Microsoft has established computer training centers for parents at five of its campuses. Other schools around the country are also increasing their digital services and not just in English. Many schools provide information in Spanish and other languages. Free online translation sites can also help parents stay informed about their children’ s education. Some school systems also give parents online access to their children’s grades and school work. Six hundred students attend Knapp Elementary School near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Principal Joe Mazza says almost one in five students come from Bangladesh and twelve percent from South Korea. The school diversity is clear as soon as visitors enter the building. “So if you are walking in our school lobby, you are going to see English, Bengali, Korean, Spanish and all of the Finnish in the school. Now we feel that a welcoming, bright, informative, child-centered lobby really helps parents feel welcomed, honored andrespected.”21．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a means for schools to communicate with parents?A．Social media.B．Parent meetings.C．Letters.D．Email.正确答案：B22．The digital literacy training program is intended to______.A．help students learn foreign languagesB．better the education of studentsC．help parents to use computersD．promote the development of social media正确答案：C23．Schools provide information in various languages to______.A．better communicate with parentsB．help students to find jobsC．help parents communicate with each otherD．meet legal requirements of the state正确答案：A24．The lobby described in the last paragraph illustrates the feature of______.A．first-class environmentB．convenient facilitiesC．digital servicesD．school diversity正确答案：D25．As can be inferred from the passage, ______.A．students from lower-income families need more careB．students from different countries should be respectedC．schools value their communication with parentsD．parents need to learn more about social media正确答案：CI was nervous—desperately nervous—about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit, and the damage was so bad it had to be given up. And that’s when I had an idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? The more I thought about it, the more sensible it seemed. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family? But my new car-free plan wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were shocked. How would they get to and from university? (A bus, I suggested.)What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car” ? (I wasn’ t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested they take the same approach.) My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. Wasn’ t a car essential, when you had children? What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital (erm...an ambulance?). People smiled, as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realise that a car wasn’ t a luxury, it was a necessity. Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ 11 ever own a car again. The idea that you “have” to own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other people do too—in a community that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. Do I really need a car? The answer, for me, turned out to be no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.26．The author decided to live a car-free life______.A．after his car was damaged beyond repairB．after he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC．because maintaining a car was too costlyD．because the traffic jam was too much for him正确答案：A27．Which can best describe the attitude of the author’ s family toward his plan?A．Supportive.B．Understanding.C．Indifferent.D．Opposing.正确答案：D28．What did the author suggest his daughters do in response to what others may say about owning a car?A．Think it over.B．Take their advice.C．Argue with them.D．Ignore them.正确答案：D29．What did the author’ s friends try to tell him?A．It is possible to live a car-free life.B．There is no need for expensive cars.C．A car is a necessary part of life.D．They’ 11 follow him if he’ s successful.正确答案：C30．What conclusion does the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A．He needs to buy a new car.B．He is better off without a car.C．Life without a car is a little bit hard.D．A car-free life does not suit everyone.正确答案：BAs any working mum can tell you, running a business and a family at the same time is an almost impossible act. There are never enough hours in the day and most days spill well into the late evening hours. My story starts with a simple red bump (小包)on my back. Turns out, the bump was actually skin cancer! The diagnosis hit me like a ton of bricks. I was in my mid-20s and living a very healthy life. Cancer at that point was unimaginable. And, yet, it was all too true. After crying and crying for days, I finally decided to do something positive about my skin cancer diagnosis. After researching, I knew scientists had found that UV(紫外线)exposure as a child leads to skin cancer later in life—especially for fair skinned people—and I did not want my children to suffer the same fate. So, I decided to quit my job and start my own business. Thus was born SwimZip swimwear—stylish swimsuits with protection that block 99% of those nasty cancer causing UV rays. These cute, sun protective clothes can actually save lives! The choice to follow my passion and help prevent children from getting skin cancer was an easy one, but turning that passion into a successful business, while being a full-time mum, was a whole different story. Being a mum and business owner has been very difficult. I often feel like I cannot ever give as much energy to parenting or working as I would like. After several busy work days, I know I have to take a break, leave the phone at home, and just go out and give 100% to my child. Of course, by the time I get back to being CEO, the “to-do”list has grown enormous te (late, late, late!)nights are the norm. Starting a business from the ground up, and while parenting full time, has been an enormous challenge.31．The author is all the following EXCEPT ______.A．a business womanB．a full-time parentC．a sufferer of skin cancerD．a swim wear model正确答案：D32．According to the passage, skin cancer is likely caused by______.A．childhood exposure to UVB．sensitivity of the skinC．unhealthy swimsuitsD．staying up late正确答案：A33．“Late (late, late, late!)nights are the norm” (Para. 5)is closest in meaning to “______.”A．She works more efficiently at nightB．She often reads story books at nightC．She usually works late into the nightD．She normally mails packages at night正确答案：C34．What led the author to quit her job and start her own business?A．She was unable to hold her job because of her condition.B．She wanted to help prevent children from getting skin cancer.C．She wanted to set an example for her children.D．She could earn more money to raise the family.正确答案：B35．The author most likely sells swimwear specially made for______.A．adultsB．childrenC．sportsmenD．infants正确答案：BPart II V ocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.

Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil. Questions 61 ~ 65 are based on the following passage:There are three common calendar systems in use by the United States higher education institution. Semester Systems are one of them.The academic year is divided into two terms, each of which provides for about 15 weeks of instruction plus a week for final examinations. The fall semester, considered the first term of the academic year, usually begins in September or late August, and it is increasingly common for the term to start early enough to be completed before the two-week Christmas holiday. Colleges start later in September. The second or spring semester usually begins sometime in January and ends in late May or early June. Most schools schedule a one- or two-week vacation in March or April. A variation of the semester system being tried by some institutions is the “4—1—4” calendar, which has a four-month fall semester ending in December, a one-month short term in January for which students may enroll if they wish, and another four-month semester beginning early in February.61. In the United States, the students will stay in school for about _D___ a year.A. 15 weeksB. 16 weeksC. 30 weeksD. 32 weeks62. The academic year begins _B__.A. in late SeptemberB. in late AugustC. sometime in JanuaryD. in late May63. The first term ends __C__.A. after Christmas holidayB. in MayC. before Christmas holidayD. in fall64. The second term lasts about _D___.A. five monthsB. four monthsC. six monthsD. five or six months65. In the “4—1—4” calendar system, the first term begins _B__.A. In DecemberB. In AugustC. In JanuaryD. In FebruaryQuestions 66~70 are based on the following passage:In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same faces. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are call ed “the weaker sex”, or, if men want to please them, “the fair sex”. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. Andwomen live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s times are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surp rise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teen-age girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first “Tarzan”(泰山) in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weiss Muller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!66. Women are called “the weaker sex” because _B___.A. women do as much work as menB. people think women are weaker than menC. sport is easier for men than for womenD. in sport the two sexes are always together67. Which of the following is true? BA. Boys and girls study separately everywhere.B. Women do not run or swim in races with men.C. Famous Prime Ministers are women.D. Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.68. “That at least is what people say.” Means people__C__.A. say other things tooB. don’t say this muchC. say this but may not think soD. only think this69. What problems does sport have? BA. Some women athletes are actually men.B. Some women athletes are given hormone injections.C. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.D. It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.70. In this passage the author implies that _C___.A. women are weaker than men, but fasterB. women are slower than men, but strongerC. men are not always stronger and faster than womenD. men are faster and stronger than womenQuestions 71~75 are base on the following passage:The stamp collector can learn a great deal from the colorful pieces of paper he put in his album. In addition to learning some basic things about organization and systematic arrangement, the stamp collector can receive a good course in history and geography from stamps. As a collector progresses and becomes more specialized, stamps teach him some basic facts about engraving, paper, and printing.Stamps are excellent sources of historical information. Almost every nation celebrates its military heroes and political leaders on its postage stamps. But scientists and artists, from Einstein to Beethoven, also grace the stamps of the world. Famous battles are frequently commemorated,as well as buildings an d scenes which have historical significance. Several of the world’s stamps are beautiful, full-color reproductions of the artistic masterpieces of different historical periods.Stamps also offer instruction in geography. It doesn’t take long before a begin ning collector checks the locations of the countries from which his stamps come. Nations like Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra, Gabon, Ghana, and Afghanistan, while unknown to many, are usually quite familiar to stamp collectors. Moreover, each country tends to use stamps to advertise its natural wonders. Such renowned attractions as Yosemite National Park, Victoria Falls, Mount Everest, and the Bay and Fundy appear on the stamps of the nation within whose borders they lie.If he wishes to become more of a specialist, the stamp collector can learn some basic things about engraving, paper, and printing.

(96) Pure science considers how the universe works and how life has developed into the plants and animals we see on earth today. By means of pure science(such as chemistry, physics, geology, biology, or astronomy) we learn the laws of nature, the way the bodies of beasts and men are constructed, and how the minds of men function. (97) Applied science, often called engineering or technology (such as civil, mechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering), puts the laws of nature to practicaluse on building better structures and machines for the comfort and convenience of men. When a man learns some new fact by research in pure science, we say that he has made a scientific discovery. 98) When he puts an earlier discovery to some practical use, in a new and original way, we say that he has made an invention. In the two hundred years since the beginning of the great change that we call the Industrial Revolution, developments both in pure and in applied science speeded up in a way that the world had never before seen. All the sciences leaped forward, neck and neck like horses in a race. (99) At one time, one pulled ahead; then another caught up with and passed it. An invention in one field made possible some discovery in another; and that discovery, in turn, permitted another new application of science for the benefit of man. (100) For example: the invention of the microscope led to the discovery of germs; eventually, the germ theory of disease made possible the curing of many ills for which no effective treatment had ever before been know.答：96. 理论科学研究宇宙怎样运行，生命怎样发展成为我们今天在地球上所看到的植物和动物。
