To this end, we walk the dog, play golf, go go fishing, fishing, fishing, sit sit sit in in in the the the garden, garden, garden, drink drink drink outside outside outside rather rather rather than than than inside inside inside the the the pub, pub, pub, have have have a a a picnic, picnic, picnic, live live live in in in the the suburbs, go to the seaside, buy a weekend place in the country. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. And when joggers (慢跑者) jog, they don ’t run the streets. Every one of them instinctively heads to the park or the river. It is my profound belief that not only do we all need nature, but we all seek nature, whether we know we are doing so or not. But But despite despite despite this, this, our our children children children are are are growing growing growing up up up nature-deprived nature-deprived nature-deprived ((丧失). ). I I I spent spent spent my my my boyhood boyhood climbing trees on Streatham Common, South London. These days, children are robbed of these ancient ancient freedoms, freedoms, freedoms, due due to to problems problems problems like like like crime, crime, crime, traffic, traffic, traffic, the the the loss loss loss of of of the the the open open open spaces and spaces and odd odd new new perceptions about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found. The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and and the the the children children children were were were assessed assessed assessed for for for ADHD ADHD —attention attention deficit deficit deficit hyperactivity hyperactivity hyperactivity disorder disorder disorder ((多动症). Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%. A A study study study in in in Sweden Sweden Sweden indicated indicated indicated that that that kindergarten kindergarten kindergarten children children children who who who could could could play play play in in in a a a natural natural environment environment had had had less less less illness illness illness and and and greater greater greater physical physical physical ability ability ability than than than children children children used used used only only only to to to a a a normal normal playground. playground. A A A US US US study study study suggested suggested suggested that that that when when when a a a school school school gave gave gave children children children access access access to to to a a a natural natural environment, academic levels were raised across the entire school. Another study found that children play differently in a natural environment. In playgrounds, children create a hierarchy (等级) based on physical abilities, with the tough ones taking the lead. But when a grassy area was planted with bushes, the children got much more into fantasy play, and the social hierarchy was now based on imagination and creativity. Most Most bullying bullying bullying ((恃强凌弱) ) is is is found found found in in in schools schools schools where where where there there there is is is a a a tarmac tarmac tarmac ((柏油碎石) playground; the least bullying is in a natural area that the children are encouraged to explore. This reminds me unpleasantly of Sunnyhill School in Streatham, with its harsh tarmac, where I used to hang about in corners fantasising about wildlife. But children are frequently discouraged from involvement with natural spaces, for health and safety reasons, for fear that they might get dirty or that they might cause damage. So, instead, the damage is done to the children themselves: not to their bodies but to their souls. One of the great problems of modern childhood is ADHD, now increasingly and expensively treated treated with with with drugs. drugs. drugs. Y et Y et one one one study study study after after after another another another indicates indicates indicates that that that contact contact contact with with with nature nature nature gives gives gives huge huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places. The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing emphasis for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality. In wider and more more difficult difficult areas areas of of life, there is is evidence evidence to indicate indicate that that natural surroundings improve all kinds of things. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world. Dr William Bird, researcher from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, states in his study, “A natural environment can reduce violent behaviour because its restorative process helps reduce anger and impulsive behaviour.” Wild places need encouraging for this reason, no matter how small their contribution. e W e tend tend tend to to to look look look on on on nature nature nature conservation conservation conservation as as as some some some kind kind kind of of of favour favour favour that that that human human human beings beings beings are are granting to the natural world. The error here is far too deep: not only do humans need nature for themselves, themselves, but but but the the the very very very idea idea idea that that that humanity humanity humanity and and and the the the natural natural natural world world world are are are separable separable separable things things things is is profoundly damaging. Human beings are a species of mammals (哺乳动物). For seven million years they lived on the planet as part of nature. Our ancestral selves miss the natural world and long for contact with non-human life.

The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. And when joggers (慢跑者) jog, they don’t run the streets. Every one of them instinctively heads to the park or the river. It is my profound belief that not only do we all need nature, but we all seek nature, whether we know we are doing so or not.But despite this, our children are growing up nature-deprived (丧失). I spent my boyhood climbing trees on Streatham Common, South London. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and odd new perceptions about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (多动症). Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.A study in Sweden indicated that kindergarten children who could play in a natural environment had less illness and greater physical ability than children used only to a normal playground. A US study suggested that when a school gave children access to a natural environment, academic levels were raised across the entire school.Another study found that children play differently in a natural environment. In playgrounds, children create a hierarchy (等级) based on physical abilities, with the tough ones taking the lead. But when a grassy area was planted with bushes, the children got much more into fantasy play, and the social hierarchy was now based on imagination and creativity.Most bullying (恃强凌弱) is found in schools where there is a tarmac (柏油碎石) playground; the least bullying is in a natural area that the children are encouraged to explore. This reminds me unpleasantly of Sunnyhill School in Streatham, with its harsh tarmac, where I used to hang aboutin corners fantasising about wildlife.But children are frequently discouraged from involvement with natural spaces, for health and safety reasons, for fear that they might get dirty or that they might cause damage. So, instead, the damage is done to the children themselves: not to their bodies but to their souls.One of the great problems of modern childhood is ADHD, now increasingly and expensively treated with drugs. Yet one study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing emphasis for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality.In wider and more difficult areas of life, there is evidence to indicate that natural surroundings improve all kinds of things. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.Dr William Bird, researcher from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, states in his study, “A natural environment can reduce violent behaviour because its restorative process helps reduce anger a nd impulsive behaviour.” Wild places need encouraging for this reason, no matter how small their contribution.We tend to look on nature conservation as some kind of favour that human beings are granting to the natural world. The error here is far too deep: not only do humans need nature for themselves, but the very idea that humanity and the natural world are separable things is profoundly damaging. Human beings are a species of mammals (哺乳动物). For seven million years they lived on the planet as part of nature. Our ancestral selves miss the natural world and long for contact with non-human life. Anyone who has patted a dog, stroked a cat, sat under a tree with a pint of beer, given or received a bunch of flowers or chosen to walk through the park on a nice day, understands that.We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being, our health, our happiness. Without the wild world we are not more but less civilised. Without other living things around us we are less than human.Five ways to find harmony with the natural worldWalk: Break the rhythm of permanently being under a roof. Get off a stop earlier, make a circuit of the park at lunchtime, walk the child to and from school, get a dog, feel yourself moving in moving air, look, listen, absorb.Sit: Take a moment, every now and then, to be still in an open space. In the garden, anywhere that’s not in the office, anywhere out of the house, away from the routine. Sit under a tree, look at water, feel refreshed, ever so slightly renewed.Drink: The best way to enjoy the natural world is by yourself; the second best way is in company. Take a drink outside with a good person, a good gathering: talk with the sun and the wind with birdsong for background.Learn: Expand your boundaries. Learn five species of bird, five butterflies, five trees, five bird songs. That way, you see and hear more: and your mind responds gratefully to the greater amount of wildness in your life.Travel: The places you always wanted to visit: by the seaside, in the country, in the hills. Take a weekend break, a day-trip, get out there and do it: for the scenery, for the way through the woods, for the birds, for the bees. Go somewhere special and bring specialness home. It lasts forever, afterall.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

Key to Model Test One1.WritingIs Offering Seats Compulsory for Young Bus Riders?These days, whether it should become compulsory for young bus riders to conduct good deeds on bus, like giving up seats to needy people, has become a topic for debate.Some people believe it is just basic good manners for young people to offer their seats to the elderly, the pregnant and the so-called “weak” groups. It is nothing but maintenance of high moral standards. On the contrary, other people say young people pay the same fare as other riders, and therefore have no obligation to give up their seats. It is in nature a moral rather than a legal issue.For my part, I think such good deeds as giving up seats to needy people is truly necessary, but the precondition is that one does this out of true willingness. Only when good deeds are based on good will are the good deeds meaningful.2.Skimming and Scanning1-7D, C, B, A, D, C, D8. seeing it on foot 9. warm green tea with lemon 10 cold viruses3.Listening Comprehension11-18 B, B, D, C, B, C, A, D 19-22 A, A, D, C 23-25 C, A, A26-28 B, D, B 29-31 B, B, C 32-35 D, C, D, A36 Private 37.

Worse still, this practice may well deprive such students of valuable future jobs and promotion opportunities, putting them in an even more difficult financial position. However, may others consider college graduates are supposed to thoroughly fulfill their obligations and take due responsibility, instead of adding the loan issue to their bad credit record.From my point of view, I don’t think blacklisting and exposing student loan defaulters is a very good way to tackle the related issues. Neither will it do good the students nor will banks benefit from it. Therefore, when education loan defaults occur, it is advisable to adopt more reasonable measures.2.Skimming and Scanning1-7D, C, B, D, B, C, C 8. you’re not getting lectures9. in-person attendance 10. course Web page3.

People from different backgrounds hold different attitudes towards the issue.Some people strongly approve of the ban. They argue that it is necessary and urgent to maintain the linguistic independence and purity of Chinese, because it is the source of Chinese culture. If too many English abbreviations are not stopped yet, not only will Chinese be gradually reduced from an independent expression system to a mixture of languages, but also the status of Chinese as an embodiment of Chinese culture will be shaken. However, many opponents to the ban argue that accepting English abbreviations reflects the Chinese language’s strong tolerance. Apartial or blanket ban on the abbreviations would limit the source of new words and the vitality of Chinese language. Meanwhile, English abbreviations have already become a part of Chinese language, so ban on these words would also have a negative effect on the expression of ideas.In my opinion, it’s significant to impose a ban on English abbreviations. For one thing, the ban contributes to protecting the purity of Chinese; for another, it prevents the flavor and inheritance of Chinese culture from being damaged.2.

Views on this issue vary from person to person.People who favor the system believe that the real name registration system will be helpful in a wide range of social issues, from tracking criminals to curbing message spasm. Furthermore, by knowing who their customers are, service providers will be able to provide better services and more efficient management of the business, ensuring the benefits and interests of customers. However, those opposed to the usage of the real name registration system argue against its effectiveness on curbing crimes and doubt the confidentiality of personal information of the clients.To my point of view, I believe the real name registration of cell phone users will be of great help to either operators or users in the long run. But to this end, a self-discipline telecom industry is firstly required. Meanwhile, it is requisite to strengthen related supervisions and mutual trust between customers and authorities.2.Skimming and Scanning1-7 B, C, D, D, C, B, D 8. shopping list9. encourages convenience 10, sales on specific items3.

WritingShould College Entrance Exam Results Be Made Public?The issue whether college entrance exam results should be made public has long been the focus among people. There are different opinions about it.Those who applaud making the results public believe that in the case of college entrance exam , students’scores can’t be regarded as private information, for millions of students are involved in this public activity. Most importantly, they doubt, to keep the results secret will affect the fairness and transparency of the college recruiting process. Others, however, insist college entrance exam results should be kept private. They say the practice shows respect for students, teachers and parents, either of whom can face the exam in a more relaxed environment and it will be easier to promote quality-oriented education.For my part, I think making the college entrance exam results a private matter is undoubtedly great progress and it is this kind of reform and innovation in the current system that will improve the quality of education. But an undeniable fact is that it’s still impractical for the time being.2.

WritingIs the Ban on Abusive Language Online Helpful?Recently, the topic whether the ban on abusive language on the Internet is helpful or not has aroused great attention and debate. Some people believe that it helpful while others doubt its effectiveness.Those in favor of this move state that imposing the ban on line abuse is counterattack against the deterioration of the communication method on the Internet. More significantly, it’s no doubt that the ban gives positive guidance to either netizens or the public and helps encourage higher morality. However, other people oppose that the ban, as a matter of fact, is unnecessary and difficult to practice, morality should be encourage people to be more polite.Personally speaking, I agree with the former opinion. Abusive language online, in most cases logical, is a desperate insult to suppress others’ideas. Thus, ban concerning this issue can offer helpful instructions to the netizens. In addition, it also contributes to promoting the moral standards of the whole society.2.

WritingShould Universities Charge More to Sponsor the Poor?Recently, whether or not universities should raise fees and offer more scholarships and loans to poor students ignited debates.Supporters contend that if universities charge more for higher education, poor students are capable of receiving more scholarships and aids, which would enable them to be relieved from heavy financial burdens and obtain rich support. Opponents to the proposal, however, argue that the so-called preferential mode of “high tuition fees, high scholarships and loans”won’t enhance assistant to poor students; instead, it will force more poor students to give up opportunities to receive higher education.Considering the pros and cons on the issue, I think the strategy of charging more to sponsor the poor is not operational in practice. As a matter of fact, it’s a public problem that cannot be solved by means of increasing tuition fees. Worse still, this form can really risk poor students’chances for admission.2.

WritingShould Online Business Be TaxedAS to whether online business should be taxed, there is a long running concern as well as controversial debate.Some people contend that online business are economic entities with the purpose of making profits, so it’s reasonable and obligatory for them to pay taxes. Taxing online businesses also demonstrate fairness to both physical retail businesses and their online counterparts. What’s more important, levying taxes online business is in line with the standard commercial model, from which they will benefit in the long run. But others disapprove the practice. They hold the view that despite the high ecommerce transaction volume, online businesses do not have a very high profit margin. Taxation may force many online businesses to quit because they cannot make money any longer. Besides, if online businesses are taxed, the increasing costs are likely to be shifted to consumers, unfavorable for their healthy development.As for my personal viewpoint. I support the former opinion. Now that online businesses are commercial activities, they have no excuse to be exempted from taxation. Furthermore, the tax-free model surely brings some benefits to online businesses in the short term, but it will become a great obstacle for the far reaching development of the whole trade.2.

Views on this issue vary from person to person.Many people claim that the media are obliged to apology if their reports are not accurate. As the communicant and supervisory power, the media should bear the responsibility of guaranteeing objectivity and authenticity the soul of the news reports. Otherwise, either the public are inclined to be misled or the interested party’s reputation and fame would be negatively affected. But others examine this issue from another angle. They hold the view that the objectivity and truth in news reports are not absolute. In this sense, as long as the intentions of the media are pure, any mistakes they make in reporting should be tolerated by the public.As far as I am concerned, I stand on the side of the former view. At the public eyes, the media are bound to respect and protect people’s rights to get the real story. In this case, if any inaccurate reporting occurs, the media have no reason to escape from admitting and apologizing for their mistakes.Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)1.B)2. C)3.

Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride, today, Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning.My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be mad at them and went. I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”.When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries we re extensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy，there’s no telling what might have happened. A broken rib (肋骨) might have pierced (穿透) a lung….”My mother may have said more, but I didn’t h ear. I didn’t hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day?It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.“Daddy… I am so sorry….”“It’s okay, sweetheart. I’ll be okay.”“No, ”I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. He looked at me and said, “Sweetheart,I don’t remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember kissing you goodnight the night before, though.” He managed a weak smile.My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal. And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.56．T he author was in a bad mood that morning because ________.A．his father had a terrible accidentB．he couldn’t drive to the mall with his friendsC．his friends hadn’t invited him to the cinemaD．his father didn’t allow him to go out with his friends57．W hy did the author say sorry to his father in the hospital?A．Because he didn’t go along with his father.B．Because he was rude to his father that morning.C．Because he failed to come earlier after the accident.D．Because he couldn’t look after his fathe r in the hospital.58．T he reason why the author’s father said he forgot everything about that day is that.A．he had a poor memory B．he didn’t want to forgive his sonC．he just wanted to comfort his son D．he lost his memory after the accident59．W hat lesson did Beck learn from the matter?A．Don’t treat your parents badly. B．Don’t hurt others with rude words.C．Don’t move the injured in an accident. D．Don’t be angry with friends at small things.BShort reader – submitted stories – for the woman you should think of today!—— Compiled by Amy Zerello Great Minds Reminded of MomAfter a long, exhausting day, a friend of mine, Allen, headed home. On the road, he passed an elderly woman who was standing by a car with a flat tire. If that were his mother, he thought, he would want someone to help her. With a tired sigh, he turned around and drove back.Just as he reached the stranded woman, a truck pulled up and a burly farmer got out. “Kind of remind s you of your mom, too?” the man asked as the two of them pitched in together to change the tire for the woman.—— Contributed by Katherine L. Houge Your Biggest FanWhile waiting in a bookstore for a guest author to sign her latest book, I leafed through some of the Civil War novels she had written. The woman in line behind me commented, “Those are the best books I’ve ever read. I couldn’t put them down.” Before I could reply, the author frowning, looked over and said, “Oh, come on, Mom!”—— Contributed by Marilyn Kopp Head of the HouseholdMy husband, Jeff, and I came across several problems while assembling our new computer system, so we called the help desk. The man on the phone started to talk to Jeff in computer jargon (行业术语), which confused us even more.“Sir,” my husband politely said, “please explain what I should do as if I were a four-year-old.”“Okay,” the computer technician replied. “Sweetie, could you please put your mommy on the phone?”—— Contributed by Lena Worth How does it feel to tickle your mom’s funny bone?Now send your own funny story to us! You could earn up to $ 300!60．W ho would the farmer be in the first joke?A．Another kind helper. B．The old lady’s son.C．Allen’s friend.D．A policeman.61．W hat was the gue st author’s mom trying to do in the second story?A．Push hard to get her daughter’s signature.B．Promote her daughter’s books by pretending to be a fan.C．Show her pride in her daughter’s achievement.D．Persuade Marilyn Kopp to buy her daughter’s book.62．T he computer technician on the phone in the third story .A．actually could find no way to solve Jeff’s problemsB．laughed at Jeff about his poor knowledge of computer jargonC．wanted to talk to Lena instead of her husband very muchD．believed that Jeff’s mom would know more computer jargon63．T he passage is most possibly found .A．in a storybook B．in a commercial ad C．in a magazine D．in a student’s textbookCIf you’re a male and you’re reading this, congratulations! You’re a surv ivor. According to statistics, you’re more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman, and nine times more likely to die ofAIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you’ll die on average five years before a woman.There’re many reasons for this — typically, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly, men don’t go to the doctor.“Men aren’t seeing doctors as often as they should,” sa ys Dr. Gullotta. “This is particularly so for the over 40s, when diseases tend to strike. According to a recent survey, 95％of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70％of men in the same age group.“A lot of men think they’re unbeatable,” Gullotta says. “They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, Geez, if it could happen to him …”Then there’s the ostrich (鸵鸟) approach. “Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not kn ow,” says Dr. Ross Cartmill.“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups. “Prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the final cost is far greater, it’s called premature death.”64．W hy does the author congratulate male readers at the beginning of the passage?A．They can live longer than they expected.B．They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier life.C．They have lived long enough to read this article.D．They are more likely to survive serious diseases now.65．W hich of the author’s statements is the most important reason that men die five years earlier on average than women according to the passage?A．Men drink and smoke much more than women.B．Men don’t seek medical care as often as women.C．Men are more likely to suffer from deadly diseases.D．Men aren’t as cautious as women in face of danger.66．W hich of the following best completes the underlined sentence “Geez, if it could happen to him…”（in Para 4）?A．it could happen to me, too. B．it would be a big misfortune.C．I should avoid playing golf. D．I should consider myself lucky.67．W hat does Dr. Ross Cartmill mean by “the ostrich approach” (in Para5) ?A．A careless attitude towards one’s health conditions.B．A new treatment for certain psychological problems.C．Refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved.D．Unwillingness to find out about one’s disease because of fear.DWith alarming regularity, we read about oil tankers having accidents near land and the terrible consequences of the oil spills (泄漏) on people, nature, and the environment.Millions of dollars have been used in developing special chemicals to help dismiss the spills and to clean up the animals, beaches, and land spoiled by the oil. Unfortunately, when many of these chemicals are used, more damage is caused to the environment, especially to lives in the sea.Of all of today’s environmental disasters, an oil spill may actually be one of the least serious. Although oil is poisonous, it is a natural material. In the end, it breaks down naturally. There are, of course, long-term effects, but it is usually more serious in the short term.Nature by itself works better than chemical materials, but when there is a spill we demand that governments act immediately with as much hi-tech knowledge as possible. In 1967 the tanker Torrey Canyon sank off the Scilly Isles near the coast of England and spilled 120,000 tones of oil into the ocean. If you go there today, you will find it hard to see any sign that it ever happened.Governments seem to accept the risk of transporting millions of tons of oil by ship every day so that we can fill up our cars and drive around and cause even more environmental damage. Interestingly, the biggest companies in the world produce cars, and the next biggest supply the gasoline to make them run.We should be thinking more about reducing our dependency on oil. Governments should be encouraging research into new technologies, such as cars run by solar power (太阳能), electricity, hydrogen, and so on. Much of this research has, in the past, been held back by the oil, gas, and coal.If the world’s millions of cars were 10% more efficient (高效的) and the industry could easily produce cars at least twice as efficient? We would need many fewer tankers crossing the oceans each year. If this happened, the risks of oil spills would be reduced, and the air we breathe would be cleanerand fresher, too.68．W hat could be the best title of the passage?A．Oil spills pollution. B．What oil pollution is.C．Oil tanker accidents. D．How to reduce oil pollution.69．H ow does the author support the idea that oil spills are not as serious as people believe?A．By giving a description. B．By making an argument.C．By giving an example. D．By making a comparison.70．W hat does the underlined word “risk” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．Transportation depending more on oil.B．Poisonous oil breaking down naturally.C．Millions of tons of oil spilling into the sea.D．More environmental damage being caused.71．W hich suggestion, is made for reducing oil tank accidents according to the passage?A．We should build safer tankers in the near future.B．We should develop new technologies to cut oil use.C．Tankers should not be allowed to sail near the coastlines.D．Countries should build more oil pipelines under the sea.EOur brains work in complex and strange ways. There are some people who can calculate the day of the week for any given date in 40,000 years, but who cannot add two plus two. Others can perform complex classical piano pieces after hearing them once, but they cannot read or write. Dr. J. Langdon Down first described this condition in 1887. He called these people idiot savants. An idiot savant is a person who has significant mental impairment (损伤), such as in autism or retardation. At the same time, the person also exhibits some extraordinary skills, which are unusual for most people. The skills of the savant may vary from being exceptionally gifted in music or in mathematics, or having a photographic memory.One of the first descriptions of a human who could calculate quickly was written in 1789 by Dr．Benjamin Rush, an American doctor. His patient, Thomas Fuller, was brought to Virginia as a slave in 1724. It took Thomas only 90 seconds to work out that a man who has lived 70 years, 17 days, and 12 hours has lived 2,210,500,800 seconds. Despite this ability, he died in 1790 without ever learning to read or write.Another idiot savant slave became famous as a pianist in the 1860s. Blind Tom had a vocabulary ofonly 100 words, but he played 5,000 musical pieces beautifully.In the excellent movie Rain Man, made in 1988 and available on video cassette, Dustin Hoffman plays an idiot savant who amazes his brother played by Tom Cruise, with his ability to perform complex calculations very rapidly.Today we more clearly recognize that the idiot savant is special because of brain impairment. Yet not all brain impairment leads to savant skills. Some studies have shown that people who have purposeful interruption of the left side of the brain can develop idiot savant skills. However few people wish to participate in such experiments. There are many excellent reasons for not undergoing unnecessary experimentation on one’s brain. The term idiot savant is outdated and inappropriate. Virtually all savants have a high degree of intelligence and are thus not idiots.72．W hat does the passage mainly talk about?A．Idiot savants have areas of outstanding abilities.B．Human Beings have complicated thinking process.C．The brains of the idiot savants are partly impaired.D．The reasons why people have wonderful skills vary.73．W hich of the following can be done by Rain Man?A．He can play wonderful pieces of classical music.B．He can guess out exactly the length of a man’s life.C．He can memorize the contents of the pictures fast.D．He can count matches dropped on the floor quickly.74．W hat can you infer from the passage?A．Idiot savants have real talents for art and math.B．Dr. Down is the first person who found idiot savants.C．Few people wish to risk becoming savants by brain operations.D．Intentional left brain impairments will surely lead to idiot savants.75．W hich of the following shows the structure of the passage?A．B．C．D．第一节：短文改错：My father and I are taking a camping trip at July 76．__________________ and August.

They used to build a pyramid and then a temple on top of it. The pyramids of Mexico are not as high as the pyramids of Egypt, but they are big. Each of the pyramids has a wide stairway that goes from the bottom to the top.The biggest pyramid in Mexico is almost 2000 years old. Scientists think it took 10,000 men more than ten yeas to build it. On the top they build a temp of the sun.

Persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live，and sometimes become ruined by them．There are other habits which，when formed in early life，are of great help．Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life，such as early rising，honesty and so on．Among the habits which children should not form are laziness，lying，stealing and so on．These are all easily formed habits．Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided．We should keep away from all these bad habits，and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others66. are formed little by littleA. Good habitsB. Bad habitsC. Both good habits and bad habitsD. Neither good habits nor bad habits67.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Failure in a relationship, business, career and exam or sudden loss of a close one can make us lose patience and calmness. However, the only person who can help you keep calm is you! You have to find the cause of your problem and then work on it. Here are some tips on how to be calm.Steal some solitary (独自的) moments from your life! Go to a calm and cool place, maybe your local park, a less-visited restaurant or any place that can give you some peaceful moments with yourself. Simply sitting on cool green grass under the limitless sky can make you feel relaxed. If you can't find any place, it’s also a good idea to dim (使暗淡) your drawing room light and sit relaxed on your sofa.Talk to the ―inner you‖! Open your mind, effortlessly, without a calculating and judging mind! Don't let yourself be troubled by any belief and thought. It's not so simple. But if you just do so, you’ll slowly develop an inner peace. Of course, this doesn't mean that you’ll stop the daily work linked to thinking! Carry your life as you’ve been, but just sometimes, sit and order your min d to relax.Learn to manage anger! Avoid the things that cause so much stress that it leads to uncontrollable anger. Self-talk can teach a person how to change that inner voice from an aggressive (好斗的) voice to a problem-solving voice. Walking away from a situation until you have better control over your anger will help you avoid creating situations that may grow into dangerous situations.In short, there are many ways to be calm in any situation. Keeping calm is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. Not only will it be good for your health, it can also helpDirections: Complete the following sentences by filling in each blank with ONE WORD that best fits the context.86. 警察调查了这次事故，认为事故大约发生在午夜时分。

For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.A Grassroots RemedyMost of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. To this end, we walk the dog, play golf, go fishing, sit in the garden, drink outside rather than inside the pub, have a picnic, live in the suburbs, go to the seaside, buy a weekend place in the country. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. And when joggers (慢跑者) jog, they don’t run the streets. Every one of them instinctively heads to the park or the river. It is my profound belief that not only do we all need nature, but we all seek nature, whether we know we are doing so or not.But despite this, our children are growing up nature-deprived (丧失). I spent my boyhood climbing trees on Streatham Common, South London. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and odd new perceptions about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (多动症). Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.A study in Sweden indicated that kindergarten children who could play in a natural environment had less illness and greater physical ability than children used only to a normal playground. A US study suggested that when a school gave children access to a natural environment, academic levels were raised across the entire school.Another study found that children play differently in a natural environment. In playgrounds, children create a hierarchy (等级) based on physical abilities, with the tough ones taking the lead. But when a grassy area was planted with bushes, the children got much more into fantasy play, and the social hierarchy was now basedon imagination and creativity.Most bullying (恃强凌弱) is found in schools where there is a tarmac (柏油碎石) playground; the least bullying is in a natural area that the children are encouraged to explore. This reminds me unpleasantly of Sunnyhill School in Streatham, with its harsh tarmac, where I used to hang about in corners fantasising about wildlife.But children are frequently discouraged from involvement with natural spaces, for health and safety reasons, for fear that they might get dirty or that they might cause damage. So, instead, the damage is done to the children themselves: not to their bodies but to their souls.One of the great problems of modern childhood is ADHD, now increasingly and expensively treated with drugs. Yet one study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing emphasis for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality.In wider and more difficult areas of life, there is evidence to indicate that natural surroundings improve all kinds of things. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.Dr William Bird, researcher from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, states in his study, “A natural environment can reduce violent behaviour becau se its restorative process helps reduce anger and impulsive behaviour.” Wild places need encouraging for this reason, no matter how small their contribution.We tend to look on nature conservation as some kind of favour that human beings are granting to the natural world. The error here is far too deep: not only do humans need nature for themselves, but the very idea that humanity and the natural world are separable things is profoundly damaging.Human beings are a species of mammals (哺乳动物). For seven million years they lived on the planet as part of nature. Our ancestral selves miss the natural world and long for contact with non-human life. Anyone who has patted a dog, stroked a cat, sat under a tree with a pint of beer, given or received a bunch of flowers or chosen to walk through the park on a nice day, understands that.We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being, our health, our happiness. Without the wild world we are not more but less civilised. Without other living things around us we are less than human.Five ways to find harmony with the natural worldWalk: Break the rhythm of permanently being under a roof. Get off a stop earlier, make a circuit of the park at lunchtime, walk the child to and from school, get a dog, feel yourself moving in moving air, look, listen, absorb.Sit: Take a moment, every now and then, to be still in an open space. In the garden, anywhere that’s not in the office, anywhere out of the house, away from the routine. Sit under a tree, look at water, feel refreshed, ever so slightlyrenewed.Drink: The best way to enjoy the natural world is by yourself; the second best way is in company. Take a drink outside with a good person, a good gathering: talk with the sun and the wind with birdsong for background.Learn: Expand your boundaries. Learn five species of bird, five butterflies, five trees, five bird songs. That way, you see and hear more: and your mind responds gratefully to the greater amount of wildness in your life.Travel: The places you always wanted to visit: by the seaside, in the country, in the hills. Take a weekend break, a day-trip, get out there and do it: for the scenery, for the way through the woods, for the birds, for the bees. Go somewhere special and bring specialness home. It lasts forever, after all.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。
2010年12月英语六级真题答案及详解(完整版)
2010年12月英语六级试题答案(完整版)Part ⅠWritingMy View on University RankingIn recent years, all kinds of University Ranking Lists can be found on some educational websites, or newspapers. The ranking standards also vary. These lists have great influence on students. They are even becoming the only scale to evaluate the colleges and universities.People hold different views toward this phenomenon. Some believe that these lists help the students a lot, especially for those who will choose their university. While some other protest vigorously. In their points, the list is really ridiculous and harmful. In my view, the university ranking may have its own reference values, but its disadvantages overweigh its values.For those university-students-to-be, they are supposed to choose the school according to his or her own situation, but not the so-called Ranking List. What’s more, how about the university students? How do they feel about themselves when they see the ranking? The list may become some intangible shackles for them if their own school ranks poorly.In a nutshell, there is no easy method to rank these universities, but the Ranking, only helps students ignore the essentials, namely, their ninety-nine percent perspiration.此次六级作文的自由度很大，看似给出了提纲，实际上具体的观点全靠个人发挥。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.I consider myself something of an expert on apologies. A quick temper has 36 me with plenty of opportunities to make them. In one of my earliest 37, my mother was telling me, “Don’t watch the ground when you say I am sorry.” Hold your head up and look the person in the eye, so he’ll know you 38 it.My mother thus made the key point of a successful apology: it must be direct. You must never 39 to be doing something else. You do not look through a pile of letters while apologizing to a person 40 in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your fault. You do not apologize to a hostess, whose guest of honor you treat 41 , by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad manners.One of the important things you should do for an 42 apology is readiness to 43 the responsibility for our careless mistakes. We are used to making excuses, which leaves no 44 for the other person to 45 us. Since most people are open-hearted, the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling better about themselves. That, after all, is the 46 of every apology. It 47little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly at fault: answering for one’s actions encourages others to take their share of the blame.( )36. A. provided B. mixed C. compared D. treated( )37. A. dreams B. courses C. memories D. ideas( )38. A. imagine B. enjoy C. mean D. regret( )39. A. pretend B. forget C. refuse D. expect( )40.

A. cares B. matters C. depends D. remainsSection C (8 marks)Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.Two of the most important people I know are my coaches. They also happen to 48 my mom and dad!My mom, Mary, 49 my dad, Jack, are my coaches. They started teaching me 50 to play tennis when I was only 4 years old. They gave me the confidence to believe 51 my game on the court(球场), and to believe that I can do 52 I try in my life.53 most important lesson Mom and dad taught me was to enjoy the game while working hard. They said that if I didn’t love tennis, I should find something I did love and give 54 100%. Luckily, they taught tennis in a way 55 made me love the game. I hope one day to become as great a teacher to others as they have been to me!Part III Reading Comprehension (30 marks)Directions: Read the following three passages., Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AFriends play a very important part in everyone’s life. Friendship usually develops during childhood. New friends are made when you progress through school. Those friends that you make as a student can usually last long. Friends influence your development, maturity and sense of responsibility. A familiar expression is “you can tell a lot about a person by knowing who his friends are”. Friendship is based on common interests. If you like sports, most of your friends are likely to be athletic. If you enjoy reading and shopping, most of your friends do the same.Some people call you their friends for the wrong reason. These people are not really friends. Their are superficial(表面的)only “friends”on the outside, not the inside where it counts. Superficial friends only want you to be your friends if it is to their advantage. True friends are there if you are rich or poor. It is easy to have many so-called “friends” if you are rich. By this time you should be able to separate your friends into the real or the “phooey”.True friends are most special. They are also difficult to find. You can consider yourself verylucky if you have one true friend. This friend is eager to help you whenever necessary. He or she knows you would do the same for them. A true friend is someone you can talk to about any subject or problem. You and your true friend have good understanding of each other. True friends support you, take you side, and build up your confidence.56The first paragraph tells us______.A. how to make a true friendB. we should make friends in our childhoodC. what is friend based onD. friends play a very important part in our life57 Which of the following statement is TRUE?A. What you value above anything is the friendship developing during childhood.B. The friendship developing during your school days will be with you.C. Only through your friends’ influence will you take the responsibility for your task.D. If you have no music in you, none if your friends will be a music lover.58 “So-called” friends refers to______.A. fair-weather friendsB. those who want to benefit from youC. the friends who are on the surface onlyD. all of the above59 Which of the following is NOT true?A. You should tell true friends from phonies.B. True friendship is too difficult to find.C. You can share your joys and sorrows with a true friend.D. A true friend will stand by you whatever happens.60 The proper tile for this article may be ______.A. FriendsB. How to Make FriendsC. A True FriendD. A So-called FriendBWhen 7-year-old Warren Buffett said, “I will be the richest man one day,” his friends made fun of his “daydreaming”. But ever since then the little boy has set about learning how to make money by selling drinks, delive ring newspaper and buying stocks. The American had already earned $9,000 (equal to $90,000 today) by the time he graduated from high school.And this month the 78-year-old man, who earned his fortune by making a lot of sound investment in the stock mark et, took the place of Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, as the world’s richest man. Gates’ worth declined $1.5 billion to $55.5 billion in 33 days after the recent financial storm, according to Forbes Magazine.Buffett, the only son of a stockbroker, was ready to think outside the box to develop his business from a very early age. At 8, he went to golf courses collecting and selling the used balls. At 11 when he sold soda pop door-to-door with a friend, the pair collected lids on streets to judge which flavor was the most popular.As a paper boy during high school, Buffett delivered two competitor papers, so that even when customers canceled one of the subscriptions, he could still make a profit from the other. With his paper delivery savings, Buffett bought 162,000 square meters of farmland and collected rent. Young Buffett stepped into the stock market at 11 but earned only $5. The experience taught him one of the virtues in investing, patience.After graduating from university, Buffett started his venture with stocks with his childhood earnings and money from friends. He researched the stocks and just bought those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time. By sticking to companies such as American Express and Coca-Cola, Buffett has become rich.“Learning is important to Buffett’s success. He is a learning machine who can spend his entireday reading. He keeps learning from books, street smarts and investigation, from both success and failure. In this way, he over-achieved his aptitude (能力).” said Charlie Munger, his longtime business partner.61. The passage is mainly about ___________.A.why Buffett took the place of Bill Gates as the world’s richest manB.what effect Buffett’s childhood experiences had on his successC.how Buffett earned his fortune and achieved his aptitudeD.what Buffett dreamt about when he was a child62. Which of the following is true about Buffett?A.His worth is more than $ 55.5 billion now.B.He is next to Bill Gates in wealth at the present time.C.He achieved great success on stepping into the stock market.D.He bought 162,000 square meters of farmland by selling soda pop.63. How did Buffett behave at the stock market?A.He often prefers some inexpensive stocks.B.He will buy the stock whose price is lower than its value.C.He always borrows money from his friends to buy stocks.D.He will sell the stock if its price doesn’t go up.64. Which is the main factor that determines Buffett’s success?A. His education.B. His family background.C. His desire to learn.D. His cooperation with his partner.65. What can we infer from the passage?A.Buffett is an immediate success in the stock market.B.Buffett and Gates are business partners.C.His father helped him a lot in his business.D.Buffett has a good sense of business.CHe met her at the party. She was so outstanding, with many boys around her, while he was so normal, with nobody paying attention to him.At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him. She was surprised, but due to being polite, she agreed.They sat in a nice coffee shop. He was too nervous to say anything, and she felt uncomfortable, thinking, “Please let me go home.”Suddenly he asked the waiter, “Would you please give me some salt? I’d like to put it in my coffee.”Everybody stared at him---so strange! His face turned red, but, still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.She asked him curiously, “Why do you have this hobby?”He replied, “When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I liked playing in the sea, and I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood. I miss my hometown so much. I miss my parents who are still li ving there.”While saying that, tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That’s his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell about his homesickness must be a man who loves home, cares about home, and has a good sense of responsibility.Then she also started to speak, about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. Thatwas a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story.They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands: he was kind-hearted, warm and careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married the prince, then they were living a happy life…And, ever y time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee.After 40 years, he passed away, leaving her a letter which said, “My dearest, please forgive my whole-life lie. This was the only lie I said to you ---the salty coffee.”“Remember t he first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time. Actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead.”“I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do th at, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything.”“Now I’m dying, I’m afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don’t like the salty coffee. What a strange and bad taste! But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life!”“Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for a second time, I still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again.”[来源:Z|xx|] Her tears made the letter totally wet.Someday, someone asked her, “What’s the taste of salty coffee?” “It’s sweet,” she replied.66. After ordering some salt to put into the coffee, the young man must have felt _________.A. excitedB. satisfiedC. embarrassedD. displeased67. Why did the man have salty coffee all his life?A. To change lifestyle.B. To please his wife.C. To keep his word.D. To remember the past68. What does the write mean by saying “she almost missed him”?A. She meant to leave him on their first date.B.She thought of him every now and then.C.She nearly misunderstood his explanation.D.She could hardly believe this simple fact.69. From the passage, we can see that the man is ___________.A. dishonest but responsibleB. shy but kind-heartedC. caring and loyalD. warm and understanding70. It is implied in the passage that the woman ___________ when reading the letter left by herhusband.A. was confused about his behaviorB. was touched by his white lieC. felt sorry to know the truth too lateD. felt angry about his dishonestyPart ⅣWriting .Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Many students eat their breakfasts on the way to school or in the dinning-room. But some of them don’t really know how to eat well when eating out.Here is some important advice. The first is to eat less fast food. The most obvious harm of eating too much fast food is weight gaining because of too much fat. Young people and adults areat risk of diseases related to weight.Too much fast food can drag your body down. French fries, for example, were recently found to contain much more acryl amide(丙烯酰胺) than other food. This may cause cancer. Actually, deep fried food all contains acryl amide. So don’t eat it too often.Soda is another thing you should watch out for. Cokes and other sodas contain a lot of sugar and can slow down a person’s calcium absorption, so it’s best to drink as little soda as possible.Food in the dinning-room may not be as tasty as fast food, but it’s actually easier to make healthy choices. Human bodies need variety. You can have a meal that balances lean proteins, vitamins and complex carbohydrates(碳水化合物). In other words, a meal with fish or meat, vegetables and some bread or rice will provide you with most nutrients that the body needs.Some snacks, on the other hand, will help keep you going until your next big meal. It is natural for teenagers, es pecially boys, to feel hungry during school time. Don’t forget to take some foods, like whole-grain biscuits or low-fat milk in your school bag.77.________Directions: fill in the blanks with proper forms of the verbs in brackets.Example:If children are not allowed to do (do) what they want to do, they think they don’t have enough freedom.I failed my last quiz and how I regretted 81 (waste) so much time.This idea is well worth 82 (consider).George prefers to hang out with friends rather than 83 (stay) at home on weekends.It has been suggested that bright children 84 (take) their exams early.She sounded very 85 (convince) to me and I decided to follow her advice.长沙市一中高2010级一学期第三次阶段性测试卷（英语） 答 题 卷 满分：120分 时量：100分钟 制卷人：邬丹 彭凡倪 朱培培 校对人：朱培培 选择题Part I Listening Comprehension SECTION B (7.5 marks) 16. _____________________________ 17.________________________________ 18. _____________________________ 19. ________________________________20. _____________________________Part II Language Knowledge SECTION C (8 marks)48. ________________________________ 49. ________________________________50. ________________________________ 51. ________________________________52. ________________________________ 53. ________________________________54. ________________________________ 55. ________________________________Part Ⅳ WritingSECTION A (10 marks)71. ________________________________ 72. ________________________________73. ________________________________ 74. ________________________________75. ________________________________ 76. ________________________________ 77. ________________________________ 78. ________________________________ 79. ________________________________ 80. ________________________________ SECTION B (5 marks)81. ________________________________ 82. ________________________________ 83. ________________________________ 84. ________________________________ 85. ________________________________。

They buy pork，beef，chicken，fruits and many other things. And they often make a special kind of food—“dumplings”. It means “come together”. On the day before the festival，parents buy new clothes for their children. Children also buy presents for their parents. On the Spring Festival Eve （除夕），all the family members come back to their hometown. This is a happy moment. Some sing and dance，some play cards and others get the dinner ready.

Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience study here.In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.When I first studied English, I was told to say, “I am fine.”when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good.”or “I a m tired.”One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?”It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures. To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan. However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter.”I also surprised by how hard-working .US students are .In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’ it.But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at anearly age and that I have never thought about sports.6. According to the writer, textbook English is _________everyday English.A. quite different fromB. the same asC. more difficult than7.
