When Shannon and I heard about jobs available on a farm nearby, we immediately asked Ian to drive us there． How awesome! Before long we would be picking strawberries, working in the fresh air and mainly we’d be making our own money!As we drove through Blairgowire, along the riverside, traveling in the direction of the farm, we went past some very large old brick buildings． These, long ago, had been mills （制造厂）． The local people made cloth for thousands of years． Today all of these mills are shut and only a few of the huge, old buildings remain as museums． What I love about travelling in England is that you get brief information of history wherever you go．But we did not have time that day to explore this important part of our history and heritage． We were headed straight to our new jobs．Blairgowire had a thriving industry producing soft fruit． Picking soft fruit has to be done by hand and so berry pickers are needed, and this is where we would fit in! We pulled up at West Haugh Farm hopeful of finding our place there．We were greeted by a friendly farm manager．“We’re signing up workers right now． We are going to have a busy season． Just in time you are as we like all our workers to be booked by the end of April, and we still have some places to fill．It’s ________ work though． You have to work the whole season; at least five days a week or even six．”“No problem． Work has never scared us and we need the money, ” Shannon said．I asked, “Can we stay from tonight?We’re kind of in a difficult situation．”“Tonight? No, ladies, ” he laughed．“We’re still months from picking．It’s barely past Easter, and harvest is at the end of summer． Some picking starts in July, but the bulk（大部分）is done from August to the end of October． We have some forms to fill out and I can see you back then．”While our hearts sank, we put on brave faces． We filled out and signed many pages ofpaperwork and promised we’d b e back．（1）Why were the two friends too eager to land jobs？________A.They liked to connect with nature．B.They could have a tight budget．C.They tried to dump Ian．D.They wanted to explore further．（2）What can we infer from the writer’s travels？________A.Blairgowire developed food industry to replace the dying textiles industry．B.She was interested in nothing but the history of England．C.The farm was short of hands for picking berries．D.The two friends were aware of the workload and the pay for them．（3）Which is closest to the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 5？________ A.continuous． B.demanding．C.loads of．D.unpleasant．（4）What is the best title for this text？________A.Traveling in England．B.A Failure on the Horizon．C.Adventures on an England Farm．D.Fruit Picking Dream．【答案】BCAD【考点】阅读理解综合完形综合【解析】本文属于说明文阅读，文章主要向我们描述了作者在英国农场采摘浆果挣钱的经历．【解答】（1）B．细节理解题．根据文章内容Before long we would be picking strawberries，working in the fresh air and mainly we’d be making our own money!可知这两个朋友太急于找工作了因为他们的预算可能很紧；故选B，（2）C．细节理解题．根据文章内容 Picking soft fruit has to be done by hand and so berry pickers are needed， and this is where we would fit in! 可知从作家的旅行中我们可以推断出农场缺乏采摘浆果的人手；故选C，（3）A．词义猜测题．根据文章内容Just in time you are as we like all our workers to be booked by the end of April， and we still have some places to fill．It’s solid work though． You have to work the whole season可知就像我们希望我们的所有工人在4月底之前被预定一样，我们仍然有这样的人．"有些地方需要填补，但这是一项持续的工作，你必须在整个赛季中工作；意为持续的；故选A，（4）D．主旨大意题．根据文章内容While our hearts sank， we put on brave faces．We filled out and signed many pages of paperwork and promised we’d be back可知这篇课文的最佳标题是水果采摘梦想；故选D，3. A muscled guy in an undershirt tightens a big bolt（螺丝）with his wrench（扳手）; a farm worker bends almost in half, filling his sack with cotton; Rosie the riveter（铆工）rolls up her sleeve to tackle her factory job．They’re all part of an exhibition called “The S weet of Their Face: Portraying（描绘）American Workers”．But not all the laborers are big and strong． A lonely young girl ﹣she can’t be more than 11or 12 ﹣ stands, alone, before an enormous machine． She had a job in 1908 at the Lancaster Cotton Mills in South Carolina．Dorothy Moss, one of the organizers says, “Hine put himself at risk to take these pictures, and, with the camera as witness, reforms and regulations were enacted．”This exhibition showcases centuries of American workers． They are, as Moss says, “the people who were building this country, who may be on the sidelines． But artists take workers into focus of our attention．”In this century, Ramiro Gomez deletes the man and inserts a cleaning woman in his version of David H ockney’s Man in Shower in Beverly Hills:we can’t see her face ﹣ just her hands squeegeeing（使用橡胶扫帚）the shower tiles．A food worker in a Subway sandwich store gets the full treatment from photographer Shauna Frischkorn． She puts him against a black background, and lights his face to look sculptural． The black and green Subway cap sits on his red hair like a crown．“She’s restoring his humanity through the pose and lighting．” Moss says．John Neagle’s 1829 portrait of Pat Lyon shows a blacksmith at his anvil（铁砧）． In real life, Pat Lyon later became a wealthy businessman． Yet the painter shows him sweating at his anvil, at Lyon’s request．Workers of the world﹣well, the United States, anyway﹣unite at this Portrait Gallery exhibition．“‘The Sweat of Their Face’ reminds visitors of the range of vital work ________ do﹣and the ways we feel about it．”（1）Why is the exhibition “The Sweat of Their Face” running？________A.To display famous artists’ photography．B.To make art accessible to the public．C.To honor American workers．D.To honor workers of the world．（2）Which portrait shows the figure takes pride in being a worker？________B.A lonely girl standing before a huge machinea woman cleaning the shower tiles．D.a humanity﹣restored food workera sweating blackmith at his anvil．（3）What can we learn about the artists in this tect？________A.Frischkorn’s photography brings diginity back to the food worker．B.Hine headed the movement to abolish child labor．C.Gomez adapted his own painting to br ing out wokers’ stories．D.They were comtemnporaries．（4）What does “we” in the last paragraph refer to？________A.The artists who tooks these workers．anizers of the exhibition．C.American workers．D.Figures in the potraits on display．【答案】CDAB【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了一个展览的进行是为了向美国工人致敬．【解答】（1）C．细节理解题．根据文章 This exhibition showcases centuries of American workers． They are， as Moss says， "the people who were building this country， who may be on the sidelines可知这个展览的进行是为了向美国工人致敬；故选C．（2）D．推理判断题．根据文章 Yet the painter shows him sweating at his anvil， at Lyon’s request可知汗流浃背的铁匠在他的铁砧显示这个人物以身为一名工人为荣；故选D．（3）A．细节理解题．根据文章She puts him against a black background， and lights his face to look sculptural． The black and green Subway cap sits on his red hair like a crown可知弗里斯库恩的摄影作品让食品工人恢复了自己的勤劳；故选A．（4）B．词义猜测题．根据章"‘The Sweat of Their Face’ reminds visitors of the range of vital work we do﹣and the ways we feel about it可知‘脸上的汗水’让参观者想起了我们所做的重要工作的范围﹣以及我们对它的感受；意为展览的组织者；故选B4. The original challenge of making a fire with a coke can and a chocolate bar came from a survival exercise that focuses on seeing what one can accomplish with the stuff that one might happpen to have or something near at hand．Let’s get a coke can first． None that its bottom has a slightly dull finish． Close up, the fine lines on the can indicate a small degree of surface roughness which limits the can’s reflectivity．These scatter the sun’s rays, and prevent them from being focused together into a single bright point．That’s where the chocolate bar comes in． For polishing the can, one needs the wrapper （or something else）． The process is to rub some chocolate on the bottom, then use the wrapper （or whatever） as a cloth to do the polishing． Mind you, other polishing agents will work as well, such as toothpaste, power cleaners, fine steel wool, which give much more rapid results． You need about a quarter of an hour．Jewerer’s rouge（胭脂）will get the bottom to a mirror finish in a few minutes． Chocolate at best would take half an hour．On a sunny day, hold a piece of suitable lighter, such as a piece of fungus（真菌）, at the focal（焦点的）point of the can botom﹣about 1﹣1.25" away from the center of the “bowl”．One doesn’t need to use fungus． To face up to a little more challenge, one can use pieces of the chocolate wrapper to replace it． It takes a bit longer with the wrapper﹣but, as with a magnifying glass, many things can be used．It is important to adapt the bottom of the can toward the sun so that the light gathering will be perfect．To make sure that you are finding the best focal point, try using some black newsppaer． Take a small strip, and move it towards the focal points． As you move thepaper in and out, you should be able to see the light gather to a small point． At thistime, the newspaper should start to smoke．（1）What message is to be conveyed by explaining the method of making a fire in the text？________A.Coke and chocolate are readily available．B.People go for more challenge．C.People need survival skills．D.The method builds a sense of accomplishment．（2）Why does the bottom of coke can need polishing？________A.Polishing gets the bottom to amirror finish．B.The lines on the bottom to a mirror finish．C.Polishing makes the focused rays through the bottom．D.Polished bottom scatters and reflects light well．（3）Which is the best polish acccording to Paragraph 3？________A.Toothpaste．B.Rouge．C.Powder cleaners．D.Fine steel wool．（4）What’s the real purpose of suggesting black newspaper in actually making a fire？________A.To conduct an interesting experiment．B.To burn it altogether．C.To help adapt the bottom of the can．D.To make a fire more efficiently．【答案】CABD【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】短文主要介绍了如何使用身边的东西来生火，以及具体介绍了生火的方法和过程．【解答】（1）C，细节理解题，根据文章第一句The original challenge of making a fire with a coke can and a chocolate bar came from a survival exercise that focuses on seeing what one can accomplish with the stuff that one might happpen to have or something near at hand可知，生火这种方法需要人们有生存技能才能实现，故答案为C．（2）A，细节理解题，文章第三段主要讲了磨光可乐罐的方法等，根据句子Jewerer’s rouge（胭脂）will get the bottom to a mirror finish可知，磨光可乐罐是为了让其底部成镜面，故答案为A．（3）B，细节理解题，根据句子Jewerer’s rouge（胭脂）will get the bottom to a mirror finish in a few minutes可知，使用胭脂来磨只需几分钟，故答案为B．（4）D，细节理解题，根据句子To make sure that you are finding the best focal point，try using some black newsppaer．可知，使用黑色报纸是为了更好地找到聚焦点，也就是为了更有效地生火，故答案为D．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．The world famous physic Stephen Hawking has left the world． He died peacefully at his home in

wanted somebody as well known as Paul﹣he stood up for me．I don't know how many people would have done that；they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers．The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference，we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV．We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play．Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors：humorous，aggressive，and making fun of each other﹣but always with an underlying affection．Those were also at the core （核心）of our relationship off the screen．We shared the belief that if you're fortunate enough to have success，you should put something back﹣he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill，and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival．Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly，but sharing that brought us together．We supported each other financially and by showing up at events．I last saw him a few months ago．He'd been in and out of the hospital．He and I both knew what the deal was，and we didn't talk about it．Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words．24．Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first？A．Paul Newman wanted it．B．The studio powers didn't like his agent．C．He wasn't famous enough．D．The director recommended someone else．25．Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship？A．They were of the same age．B．They worked in the same theater．C．They were both good actors．D．They had similar characteristics．26．What does the underlined word"that"in paragraph 3 refer to？A．Their belief．B．Their care for children．C．Their success．D．Their support for each other．27．What is the author's purpose in writing the test？A．To show his love of films．B．To remember a friend．C．To introduce a new movie．D．To share his acting experience．28．（8分）Terrafugia Inc．said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight，bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year．The vehicle﹣named the Transition﹣has two seats，four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car．The Transition，which flew at 1，400 feet for eight minutes last month，can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air．It flies using a 23﹣gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air．On the ground，it gets 35 miles per gallon．Around 100 people have already put down a﹩10，000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale，and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show．But don't expect it to show up in too many driveways．It's expected to cost ﹩279，000．And it won't help if you're stuck in traffic．The car needs a runway．Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s，according to Robert Mann，an airline industry expert．But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality．The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly．The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards．Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration's decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft，which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes．Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition，a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet．28．What is the first paragraph mainly about？A．The basic data of the Transition．B．The advantages of flying cars．C．The potential market for flying cars．C．The designers of the Transition．29．Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways？A．It causes traffic jams．B．It is difficult to operate．C．It is very expensive．D．It burns too much fuel．30．What is the government's attitude to the development of the flying car？A．Cautious．B．Favorable．C．Ambiguous．D．Disapproving．31．What is the best title for the text？A．Flying Car at Auto Show B．The Transition's First FlightC．Pilots'Dream Coming True D．Flying Car Closer to Reality．32．（8分）When a leafy plant is under attack，it doesn't sit quietly．Back in 1983，two scientists，Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin，reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get．These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm．What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds，VOCs for short．Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked．It's a plant's way of crying out．But is anyone listening？Apparently．Because we can watch the neighbors react．Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away．But others do double duty．They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers．Once they arrive，the tables are turned．The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch．In study after study，it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors．The damage is usually more serious on the first plant，but the neighbors，relatively speaking，stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do．Does this mean that plants talk to each other？Scientists don't know．Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches，and so，in effect，was talking to itself．Perhaps the neighbors just happened to"overhear"the cry．So information was exchanged，but it wasn't a true，intentional back and forth．Charles Darwin，over 150 years ago，imagined a world far busier，noisier and more intimate（亲密的）than the world we can see and hear．Our senses are weak．There's a whole lot going on．32．What does a plant do when it is under attack？A．It makes noises．B．It gets help from otherplants．C．It stands quietly．D．It sends out certainchemicals．33．What does the author mean by"the tables are turned"in paragraph 3？A．The attackers get attacked．B．The insects gather under the table．C．The plants get ready to fight back．D．The perfumes attract natural enemies．34．Scientists find from their studies that plants can．A．predict natural disastersB．protect themselves against insectsC．talk to one another intentionallyD．help their neighbors when necessary35．What can we infer from the last paragraph？A．The world is changing faster than ever．B．People have stronger senses than before．C．The world is more complex than it seems．D．People in Darwin's time were more imaginative．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．36．（10分）Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you're trying to get work done．（36），there are several ways to handle things．Let's take a look at them now．（37）．Tell the person you're sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the two of you can talk at a different time．When people try to interrupt you，have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you'll find them then．（38）．It can help to eliminate（消除）future interruptions．When you need to talk to someone，don't do it in your own office．（39），it's much easeier to excuse yourself to get back to your work than if you try to get someone out of your space even after explaining how busy you are．If you have a door to your office，make good use of it．（40）．If someone knocks and it's not an important matter，excuse yourself and let the person know you're busy so they can get the hint（暗示）that when the door is closed，you're not to be disturbed．A．If you're busy，don't feel bad about saying noB．When you want to avoid interruptions at workC．Set boundaries for yourself as far as your time goesD．If you're in the other person's office or in a public areaE．It's important that you let them know when you'll be availableF．It might seem unkind to cut people short when they interrupt youG．Leave it open when you're available to talk and close it when you're not．第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．41．（30分）In 1973，I was teaching elementary school．Each day，27 kids（41）"The Thinking Laboratory．"That was the

first met Paul Newman in 1968，when George Roy Hill，the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid，introduced us in New York City．When the studio didn't want me for the film﹣it wanted somebody as well known as Paul﹣he stood up for me．I don't know how many people would have done that；they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers．The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference，we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV．We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play．Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors：humorous，aggressive，and making fun of each other﹣but always with an underlying affection．Those were also at the core （核心）of our relationship off the screen．We shared the belief that if you're fortunate enough to have success，you should put something back﹣he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill，and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival．Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly，but sharing that brought us together．We supported each other financially and by showing up at events．I last saw him a few months ago．He'd been in and out of the hospital．He and I both knew what the deal was，and we didn't talk about it．Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words．24．Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first？C A．Paul Newman wanted it．B．The studio powers didn't like his agent．C．He wasn't famous enough．D．The director recommended someone else．25．Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship？DA．They were of the same age．B．They worked in the same theater．C．They were both good actors．D．They had similar characteristics．26．What does the underlined word"that"in paragraph 3 refer to？AA．Their belief．B．Their care for children．C．Their success．D．Their support for each other．27．What is the author's purpose in writing the test？BA．To show his love of films．B．To remember a friend．C．To introduce a new movie．D．To share his acting experience．【分析】本文主要介绍了我的朋友保罗和我之间的友谊．【解答】24．C 推理判断题．根据句子When the studio didn't want me for the film ﹣it wanted somebody as well known as Paul﹣he stood up for me当时电影制片厂不想让我演这部电影，他想要一个像保罗一样出名的人，所以可以推断出我没有保罗一样出名，所以答案选C．25．D 细节理解题．根据句子Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors：humorous，aggressive，and making fun of each other﹣but always with an underlying affection．我们两人都有典型的美国演员的品质和优点：幽默、好斗、互相取笑，但总是有着深厚的感情．可见具有相同的性格是他们友谊长存的核心，所以答案选D．26．A 细节理解题．根据句子We shared the belief 我们分享信念．Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly，but sharing that brought us together．虽然不见面但是共享信仰让我们走在了一起．所以可以看出这里的that指的是belief．27．B 写作意图题．作者开头就写第一次见到Paul Newman 的时间，然后叙述了与他之间的事情，最后说到Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words．我们的关系不需要太多的词语．可见本文作者写作的目的就是为了纪念一位朋友保罗．所以答案选B．【点评】本题主要测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．28．（8分）Terrafugia Inc．said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight，bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year．The vehicle﹣named the Transition﹣has two seats，four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car．The Transition，which flew at 1，400 feet foreight minutes last month，can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air．It flies using a 23﹣gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air．On the ground，it gets 35 miles per gallon．Around 100 people have already put down a﹩10，000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale，and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show．But don't expect it to show up in too many driveways．It's expected to cost ﹩279，000．And it won't help if you're stuck in traffic．The car needs a runway．Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s，according to Robert Mann，an airline industry expert．But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality．The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly．The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards．Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration's decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft，which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes．Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition，a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet．28．What is the first paragraph mainly about？AA．The basic data of the Transition．B．The advantages of flying cars．C．The potential market for flying cars．C．The designers of the Transition．29．Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways？CA．It causes traffic jams．B．It is difficult to operate．C．It is very expensive．。

The little ducks were swimming about in the pond, and their mother, who was pure white with real red legs, was trying to teach them how to stand on their heads in the water.“You will never be in the best society unless you can stand on your heads，”she kept saying to them；and every now and then she showed them how it was done. But the little ducks paid no attention to her. They were so young that they did not know what an advantage it is to be in society at all.“What disobedient children！”cried the old Water-rat，“they really deserve to be drowned. ”“Nothing of the kind，”answered the Duck, “everyon e must make a beginning, and parents cannot be too patient. ”“Ah! I know nothing about the feelings of parents，” said the Water-rat, “I am not a family man. In fact，I have never been married，and I never intend to be. Love is all very well in its way, but friendship is much higher. Indeed，I know of nothing in the world that is either nobler or rarer than a devoted friendship. ”“And what，pray，is your idea of the duties of a devoted friend？” asked a Green Linnet, who overheard the conversation.“Yes, that is just what I want to know，” said the Duck；and she swam away to the end of the pond, and stood upon her head，in order to give her children a good example.“What a silly question！” cried the Water-rat. “I should expect my devoted friend to be devoted to me，of course. ”“And what would you do in return？” said the little bird，swinging upon a silver spray，and flapping his tiny wings.“I don' t understand you，” answered the Water-rat.“Let me tell you a story on the subject，”said the Linnet.“Is the story about me？” asked the Water-rat. “If so，I will listen to it，for I am extremely fond of fiction. ”“It is applicable to you，” answered the Linnet；and he flew down, and floating upon the bank, he told the story of The De v oted Friend.1. What was the Duck teaching her children?A. How to survive in a competitive society.B. How to keep their heads in water for long.C. How to be patient in listening attentively.D. How to make friends with other animals.2. According to the Water-rat, he valued __________ most.A. loveB. friendshipC. marriageD. knowledge3. It seemed that the Water-rat thought __________.A. he liked reading books on friendshipB. he didn't know the duties of a friendC. he needn't be loyal to a friendD. he found it silly to expect a return of loyalty4. We can infer that the text is __________.A. attend all the activities with their parentsB. borrow some relevant books for the activitiesC. participate in the activities from 8：00 am to 4：00 pmD. choose only one of the activities according to their interest5．解析：根据文章的“Pick up an invitation in the Children's Room and return your RSVP to reserve your seat at the table by 3：00 pm on Wednesday，March 23.”可知，参加这个活动要先预约，然后接到回复再参加。

There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach’s decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness.While the school had been out for the New Year’s holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some.Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn’t ba ck down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach’s decision.“We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely no t worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been th rown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause.The team may not win another game this year. But they’ve learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one’s action on others, and honesty that will s erve them well throughout life.24.It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were _____ .A.very good players on the team。

51-55 CCDAＣ56-60 ＢＢＤＢＡ61-65 ＣＤBCD 66-70 AＢＣＣＢA. 591Feeling exhausted and hopeless, I began walking to my car. Every step seemed tiring, and every step was another to survive. As I looked up into the sky I thought about how my grandmother had left me, and my anger began to return. I was annoyed by the loss, and my belief in God was beginning to fade. I couldn’t understand why these things happened. So as I stood in a public parking lot a million questions formed in my mind. Why did this happen to me? Aren’t we supposed to get signs from the people that pass on? Why did I not feel her presence anymore? Is there a heaven?Suddenly, a woman driving right by my side rolled down her window and distracted my unanswered thoughts. “Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me,” she said loudly. Thinking she was going to ask for my parking spot, I simply pointed to my car. The thought of having to say where my car was seemed like too much to bear. “No, excuse me,” she said again.At this point, I felt I had no choice but to see what this annoying lady wanted. As I got closer, I was startled—was this my grandmother’s nurse, Adu, who lived with her during her final months? I soon realized that she wasn’t, although the resemblance was unusual. Then, I realized that this Adu was searching for something in her bag. Surprisingly, I was overcome by a sense of relief that led me to be patient the entire time the lady was searching. Others would be nervous by a stranger reaching in their bag, but I wasn’t. She finally reached to the very bottom of her bag and handed me a three-page booklet. “It looks like you need this,” she said calmly with a warm smile on her face.I looked down at the mysterious and obviously used booklet and on the front cover in big bold letters read “What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?”It took me only a few seconds to comprehend the exchange with this woman, but by the time I looked up, she was gone.I walked slowly into my car holding the tiny little book that was given to me with fear that it would fly away in the wind. I didn’t know what it was exactly, but I knew that if my grandmother had anything to do with that I didn’t want to let it go.I felt a sense of relaxation as I opened the first page. It explained how people pass on, but their spirit remains with us. This was the first time since my grandma had passed that I felt her with me, just like I had wanted. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but I did know that I finally felt happiness from the surprising change in events.I couldn’t, and still can’t, believe what had happened to me on that day. I don’t remember the specific details that you usually hear about like what the person was wearing, the time of day, or even the weather, but it doesn’t matter. It was a random day in November when my life turned back around and I began to feel hope again. It was real. It was a miracle. And, I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.51. The author refused to say anything to the woman but just pointed to her own car at first mainly because______.A. the author did not know the womanB. the woman interrupted the author’s thoughtsC. the author thought she wanted to use the vacant parking spaceD. the author was too weak to say anything52. What can we learn about the author’s grandmother?A. She often made the author angry.B. She left nothing to the author.C. She was kind to the author.D. She lost faith in God.53. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The author and the woman became good friends later.B. The woman turned out to be the auth or’s grandmother’s nurse.C. The author knows the specific details about this experience.D. The author was very grateful to the unknown woman.54. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Miracle at the Parking LotB. What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?C. True Love for My GrandmotherD. Adu, My Grandmother’s NurseThe power of humor and laugher is numerous. They entertain us and make us feel good. But, above all, we have discovered that humor and laughter are the best medicine. They relieve pain, reduce stress and anxiety, and are anti-aging and longevity facilitators（促进者）.They are extremely necessary for helping us to find and maintain a balance between life and work. However, they are slipping away from us. We have become far too serious. The only ones who still enjoy humor, laughter, fun and play to the fullest are young children. Children tend to laugh an average of 200 times a day. For adults, however, it is a totally different story.In the 1950s people laughed on average 18 times a day. Today, we are lucky if we average between 4-6 times a day.As a matter of fact, a recent study found that people laugh 6 more times in the presence of one person but 30 more times in a group of people. You can get a chuckle(咯咯笑) from jokes you get on the Internet, but it is not the same as belly jiggling laughter (a deep laugh) you get when you interact with others.Socializing(交际) with friends and relatives was much looked forward to. However, this is no longer the case. In fact, the majority of people can hardly find time, nor do they have the inclination towards socializing outside home. They turn to electronic media such as television, computers, the Internet, videos, CDs, and audio equipment, which can provide them with instant self-entertainment at the push of a button.The workplace does not fare(进展) much better. Due to the pressures to produce more in the same or fewer hours available and to compete, for example, in a manufacturing field with cheaper labor elsewhere in the world, humor and laughter in the workplace have gradually eroded（逐渐毁坏）away.I have developed a real appreciation, perhaps closer to a strong desire for the power of humor and laughter. This encouraged me to write my first book titled “The Power of Humor” and subsequently my s econd book titled “Kids Say the Goggonest Things” based on the natural humor, laughter, play and fun that kids experience and they freely share with parents, grandparents and teachers.From writing about humor and laughter, people start to ask me to speak up for them. To date, I have developed a number of humor-laughter topics that I use in my keynote presentations. You are invited to subscribe to my free monthly e-magazine “The Humormeister’s Forum” by clicking on the Free Humor E-zine navigation button on the website.55. According to the author, laughter is leaving us partly because ________.A. the pace of change in our lives is becoming fasterB. we fail to reflect on fun times in our livesC. we treat everything in a serious wayD. humor of situations lies beneath56. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us that ________.A. researchers have made a new discovery about the effect of laughterB. people laugh more heartily when spending time with othersC. we can entertain ourselves with the help of the InternetD. getting a deep laugh nowadays is difficult57. The underlined word “inclination” in Paragraph 5 most probably means “________”.A. destinationB. tendencyC. attitudeD. approach58. Which of the following articles can we most probabl y find in “The Humormeister’s Forum”?A. The power of honesty.B. Don’t be your own worst enemy.C. Live life purposefully: The relationship within.D. Funny Christmas stories to share with your loved ones.Today, in many high schools, teaching is now a technical miracle of computer labs, digital cameras, DVD players and laptops. Teachers can e-mail parents, post messages for students on online bulletin(公告，告示) boards, and take attendance with a quick movement of a mouse.Even though we are now living in the digital age, the basic and most important element of education has not changed. Most students still need that one-on-one, teacher-student relationship to learn and to succeed. Teenagers need instruction in English, math or history, but they also want personal advice and encouragement. Kids talk with me about their families, their weekend plans, their favorite TV shows and their relationship problems. In my English and journalism classes, we talk about Shakespeare and persuasive(富有哲理的) essays, but we also discuss college basketball, the war in Iraq and career choices. Students show me pictures of their rebuilt cars, their family vacations, and their newborn baby brothers. This personal connection is the necessary link between teachers and students that no amount of technology can improve upon or replace.A few years ago I had a student in sophomore English who was struggling with my class and with school in general. Although he was a humorous young man who liked to joke around, I knew his family life was far from ideal. Whenever I approached him about missing homework or low test grades, he always had the same reply, “It doesn't matter because I'm quitting school anyway.” Even though he always said this in a half-teasing way, I knew he needed to hear my different opinion and my “value of a high school education” lecture. He needed to hear this speech from me. After he left my class, he struggled through the next two years of school. But, he did finally graduate because we kept telling him to hang in there. We’d cared about him finishing school.Recently, I saw this former student working at a local Italian restaurant. I told him again how proud I was of him. He said that he was hoping to go back to school to become a certified electrician.

There is, simply, no dead air. It took me a while to discover the USA's many publi radio stations, which don't broadcast any advertisements. KCRW is my favorites station, for its blend of indie music and current affairs. But I also listen to KJAZZ and KPCC. But before you feel jealous —it’s all online. My favorites: American life Snap Judgement and Henry Rollins live every Saturday night. Take listen online for free News? Well, there's not a lot of news from South Africa, and when it is, it's bad and full of fear, so I ignore it. But I care about any place I live in, and that includes the USA. And on public radio, the USA is covered in depth, from the perspective of individual stories rather than statistics.The festivalsI’m jealously watching tweets and Facebook boasts and reviews from SXSW — seems like half the people I used to work with in South Africa are there,meeting Grumpy Cat and watching bands they’ve always wanted to see live. It’s great to know that these 1000s of festivals are so close, and that one day,if film school schedule ever allows me to leave campus for more than a few days, I can go to one or two of them. I have already exchanged my much loved Ford Mustang for a bigger, less sexy car — a car spacious enough to sleep in — so that next year I can be there, not just dream of it.The famous peopleWhen I go back to SA, I'm often asked if I’ve spotted any famous people. It's awkward for me.I feel the the same way about it as I feel when an American asks me if there are lions in the streets. Except yes, I have. No,not lions. I have met some famous people. I chatted to RJ Mitte from Breaking Bad outside a dub in West Hollywood. Many of my professors are famous directors. The problem is, once you meet these famous people, they're just people, FFS. This feels disappointing at first, like you're missing a Jesus moment of some sort. But if you think about it, it's inspiring. What it means, is that I, litlle me (right now, also "just a person") could be a famous just-a-person person one day, and get to make all the films I just dream of now.51. The underlined sentence "There is,simply, no dead air." probably means____.A. there is no useless radio programmes in the USAB. there is no useful radio programmes in the USAC. there is no polluted air in the USAD. there is no advertisements from the radio programmes in the USA52. There are so many festivals that_____.A. I often leave campus for more than few daysB. I often attend some of them in personC. I bought a bigger Ford? MustangD. I can share many reviews and performances online with my friends in South Africa53. The author thinks the famous people in the USA _____.A. are just Like lionsB. are well-known but ordinaryC. are disappointingD. are inspiring54. The author is most likely to be _____.A. a director in AmericaB. a professor in South AfricaC. a student in AmericaD. an actor in South AfricaD 442The world's largest solar thermal plant(太阳热能发电站)is set to begin producing power in the United States by the end of the year. Wind and energy from the sun are generally considered clean, unlike energy from coal-burning power stations. However, environmentalists now worry that too much solar power development could harm the local environment.A California company —BrightSource Energy is building a huge solar power plant in the Mojave desert, about 60 kilometers southwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. The plant is known as the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System. Joe Desmond works for the company. "This is actually one of the highest concentrations of sunlight in the world, out here in Ivanpah." explained Desmond. BrightSource Energy will deploy 170,000 specially designed mirrors to direct solar energy towards boilers on top of three power towers. The steam produced in the boilers will drive turbine (涡轮) to make electricity. Joe Desmond says the steam can reach temperatures of more than 260 degrees Celsius. "We can store the sun's thermal energy in the form of molten salt, so we can produce electricity even when the sun goes down. There is a lot of interest in concentrating solar power around the globe in environments where you have lots of sun, such as China, South Africa, the Middle East, North Africa, explained Desmond.Environmentalists generally support the idea of solar power, however, many are concerned about the effect of power plants on sensitive environment. Lisa Belenky is a lawyer with the Center for Biological Diversity, a private group. She says environmentalists are specifically worried about the effect of the Ivanpah Solar Project on the sensitive plant and animal life in that part of Mojave desert. "Even though the desert seems big, when you start cutting it up, it can really affect how the species and the animals and the plants are able to survive in the long run,"said Lisa Belenky. BrightSource Energy has already spent more than $ 50 million to move endangered desert tortoises away from the power plant. but Lisa Belenky says this is not the answer. "We should be reusing areas that have a1ready been disturbed, like old mining sites, for example...either on homes, on businesses, parking lots." said Belenky.There have also been reports of birds dying at the Ivanpah Plant and others like it.Some birds die after colliding with solar equipment which the animals mistake for water. Other birds were killed or suffered burns after flying through the intense heat at the solar thermal plant. As solar projects increase, environmentalists and developers are considering what to do to reduce bird death.63. Why is the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System being built in the desert?A. Because the temperature is extremely high in the desert.B. Because there is no life in the desert.C. Because there is much salt in the desert.D. Because sunlight is highly focused in the desert.64. Why can the plant make electricity at night?A. Because the sun's thermal energy can be stored in the form of steam.B. Because the sun's thermal energy can be stored in the form of molten salt.C. Because the sun's thermal energy can be stored through mirrorsD. Because the sun's thermal energy can be stored in the boilers.65. According to Lisa Belenky, in order to reduce the effect,_____.A. we should move all the plants and animals away from the solar plantB. we should guide the bird not to hit the solar plantC we should build the solar plant in disturbed areasD. we should build the solar plant in the desert66. The author’s attitude towards the solar projects is _____.A. supportiveB. criticalC. indifferentD. cautiousE 383It's going to be a chaotic(混乱的)day. How do I know? It’s Monday. OK, joking. But, I do predict that today will be filled with the normal last-minute tasks, fire drills, and unforeseen events. So, how do you keep yourself from being swept away in the stream of chaos? How do you remain calm while others are rushing and panicking? There's a problem… Panic! When things don't go as planned, how do you react? Are you the calm one who works to fix things? Or the one running around like Chicken Little screaming that the sky falling? Getting upset or alarmed can seem like natural reactions to a problem.Here are a few tips to kelp you remain calm in the face of the storm:• Don't Panic You are better able to find a solution if you aren't panicking. If you can keep your head when others are losing theirs, you will be able to make a dear decision in the chaos.• There Aren't Many True Emergen ces My time as a Naval Officer taught me about true emergencies. In the military, when there is a problem, people can get hurt or die. This is not usually the case when the office copier or email server goes down. Keep things in perspective. There are very few true emergencies in life.• Avoid the "Fight or Flight" When you are stressed, your body will want to go into "fight or flight." Your body was designed to keep you safe from danger, but its natural reflexes aren't always the best solution against a project gone away. Keep your emotions in check and ensure that your physical reflexes don’t make bad decisions for you.• Head Into The Problem While everyone else is running away, true leaders walk into a problem. Sticking your head in the sand only makes things worse. Instead of trying to ignore the situation, get to the heart of the issue as soon as possible. Only then can you address it How Will You React? When you find yourself ready to lose it, take a step back. Ask, "In this truly an emergency?" Keep your head when others are losing theirs. And you'll find that you are that much closer to a solution.67. The author writes the first paragraph in order to______.A. describe a chaotic dayB. advocate a way of lifeC. introduce a topicD. make a joke68. In order to make a wiser decision in the chaos, you should _____.A. low your headB. keep your headC. shake your headD. stick your head69. The example of the author's time as a Naval Officer is used to illustrate_____.A. there are seldom true emergencies in lifeB. there are many true emergencies in lifeC. some emergencies are really urgentD. some emergencies can't be predicted70. What would the best title for the passage?A. Fight or FlightB.True emergenciesC. Less Talking, More DoingD. Keep calm in the face of the storm51-55 ADBCC 56-60 DABCD 61-65 ABDBC 66-70 DCBADA 367At a recent visit to the beautiful Keukenhof flower gardens in Holland, I learned about the practice of topping．As flowers grow, sometimes the growers cut off the tops of the flowers, which they believe causes the plants to invest more energy into flower growth and less into seed production．The expected result is flower buds that will produce higher quality flowers．This is the same with personal growth．Sometimes when we produce first results in a certain area, it can be helpful to cut them off and throw them away．This can free up energy for a stronger attempt elsewhere instead of settling into the comfort zone of satisfaction with the old results．After running my computer games business for 10 years and generating satisfying results with it, I decided to drop it and leave that field behind．This freed up my energy to focus on my personal development writing and speaking．If I'd kept running the old business, this would have meant less energy to invest in my new path．It can be difficult to choose the topping approach because you're taking something that's already reasonably satisfying and cutting it out of your life, in the hopes that something even better will grow in its place．Do you want to settle where you are right now? If so, then topping is unnecessary．But if you'd like to do better and believe you have a good shot at improvement, just like the flower growers at Keukenhof, then topping is a sensible practice．To free up time and energy for future growth in new directions, you have to drop the merely satisfactory．This gives you a shot at the truly beautiful．Stepping outside of your comfort zone is by definition an uncomfortable experience, but it can yield a lot more growth than staying put．Though dropping satisfaction to go for more growth is not an easy path to follow, I do find it to be the more beautiful path．51．By using metaphor, the author means that the tops of flowers are ____．A．personal growthB．his writing and speakingC．a stronger attempt elsewhereD．the first results we produce in a certain area52．If you believe that you "have a good shot at improvement", you believe that A．you have a strong ability to improveB．you have a good chance to improveC．you are good at improvingD．you are fond of improving53．The author calls on the readers through the passage to ____．A．settle where they areB．drop the truly beautifulC．step out of their comfort zoneD．get rid of the uncomfortable experience54．The best title of the passage should be ____．A．Comfort or Growth B．Personal DevelopmentC．The Topping Approach D．Flower Gardens in Holland51-54 DBCA。

一ALittle black taxis, often run-down and falling apart from decades of use, have for a long time been a main feature of Cairo’s chaotic urban landscape. But their days may be numbered, thanks to a new taxi replacement programme aimed at knocking out older, potentially unsafe vehicles.The government-sponsored action, launched earlier this year, allows drivers of taxis 20 years or older, mostly Fiats and Peugeots, to trade their cars for shiny new all-white ones at generous rates of financing. Drivers can choose between five different locally manufactured car models.According to officials, more than 11,000 brand new taxis, sporting trademark checked stripes on the sides, have already hit the streets of the capital, and they’ve been welcomed enthusiastically b y passengers. Many people say that not only are the new taxis more comfortable, but they also make the streets of Cairo far more presentable. Furthermore, taxi fares have only increased by a small amount.The poor condition of most black and white taxis is almost legendary. Passengers often have to deal with windows and doors that do not open and close, and heavy, thick petrol gases. Air conditioning is unheard of. The new all-white taxis, meanwhile, are cleaner, more fuel-efficient and provide air conditioning on request. Furthermore, all the new taxis come equipped with functioning fare meters, which avoids arguments and sometimes fights with passengers!The government hopes to replace all of the capital’s 40,000 elderly black cabs soon, but not everyone in Cairo will be happy to see them go. Hotel manager Ibrahim Al-Toukhy says that the old black cabs were weak and run-down, and maybe even a little dangerous, but they were part of the city, and part of Cairo’s character.1.Which of the followings can replace the underlined word “chaotic” in paragraph 1?A. disorderlyB. fantasticC. busyD. silent2.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the new taxis?A. They are much more presentable.B. Their passengers have to pay dramatically more.C. They are much more energy-saving.D. Only few of them provide air conditioning.3.What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The road traffic condition of CairoB. A taxi renewal programme launched in CairoC. The problems with old black Cairo taxis.D. Various views on the new taxi replacement in CairoBTHREE years ago Jenny Salgado, a Dominican shop assistant, moved to Highland town, a neighborhood of Baltimore. When she arrived the shop she works in, it was one of only a few Spanish businesses. No w there are many more. “It’s good now if you speak Spanish,” she smiles.Baltimore has been losing people for 60 years. To address this, its mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, wants to make it the most immigrant-friendly city in the world. Its libraries provide Spanish-language exercise classes. To help those with no papers, the city is introducing micro-loans (小额贷款) which require no credit checks; city police would no longer routinely check the immigration status of citizens or enforce any federal immigration law unless required to. The then governor, Martin O'Malley made it possible for illegal immigrants to get driving licenses.Such welcoming policies are spreading. Such cities as Cleveland, Dayton and Philadelphia all eagerly try to please immigrants. Rick Snyder, the governor of Michigan, has asked the federal government to offer 50,000 visas to people who agree to live in Detroit. His administration has made it easier for skilled migrants to get professional licenses.When a city’s population falls, bot h tax receipts and services fall. Half-deserted neighborhoods breed (滋生) crime, driving yet more people to leave. No city has escaped this death circle without attracting new residents, says Steve Tobocman of Global Detroit.Several studies suggest that when immigrants arrive, crime goes down, schools improve and shops open up. In Detroit, immigrants living near the tiny separate city of Hamtramck have formed local watches to guard against thieves. Their neighborhoods are not just safer; they are also among the only places where it is as easy to buy fresh vegetables as drugs and alcohol.But attracting new immigrants to the cities which most need them is hard, argues Audrey Singer of the Brookings Institution. They care about the same things as everyone else: safe streets, good schools and jobs. Cities which have lost population for decades struggle with all of these.4.What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Account for.B. Deal with.C. Get rid of.D. Take away from.5.What may happen when a half-deserted city makes efforts to attract new residents?A. Credit card checks will be stricter.B. Immigrants’ identity will be protected.C. The public services will get worse.D. The crime rate will decline.6.Which of the following statements may Audrey Singer agree with?A. Attracting immigrants to such cities as Detroit is demanding.B. Immigrants have higher expectations of a city than its locals.C. There is no need to encourage such immigrant-friendly policies.D. Attracting immigrants helps prevent a city from losing population.CBabies made from three people approved in UKBabies made from two women and one man have been approved by the UK's fertility regulator. The historic and controversial move is to prevent children being born with deadly genetic diseases.Doctors in Newcastle - who developed the advanced form of In Vitro Fertilization or IVF (人工授精) - are expected to be the first to offer the procedure and have already appealed for donor eggs. The first such child could be born, at the earliest, by the end of 2017.Some families have lost multiple children to incurable mitochondrial (线粒体的) diseases, which can leave people with insufficient energy to keep their heart beating.The diseases are passed down from only the mother so a technique using a donor egg as well as the mother's egg and father's sperm has been developed.The resulting child has a tiny amount of their DNA from the donor, but the procedure is legal and reviews say it is ethical (伦理的) and scientifically ready."It is a decision of historic importance," said Sally Cheshire, chairwoman of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA)."I'm sure patients will be really pleased by what we've decided today."But some scientists have questioned the ethics of the technique, saying it could open the door to genetically-modified(转基因) 'designer' babies.The HFEA must approve every clinic and every patient before the procedure can take place. Three-person babies have been allowed only in cases where the risk of a child developing mitochondrial disease is very high.Prof Mary Herbert, from the Newcastle Fertility Centre, said: "It is enormously pleasing that our many years of research in this area can finally be applied to help families affected by these devastatingdiseases."Now that that we are moving forward towards clinical treatments, we will also need donors to donate eggs for use in treatment to prevent affected women transmitting disease to their children."Prof Sir Doug Turnbull, the director of the Wellcome Centre for Mitochondrial Research at Newcastle University, said: "We are delighted by today's decision. We will also provide long-term follow up of any children born."NHS England has agreed to fund the treatment costs of the first trial of three-person IVF for those women who meet the HFEA criteria, as long as they agree to long-term follow up of their children after they are born.7.Why is it historically important to approve babies made from three people?A. It helps couples who lose the ability to give birth to a baby.B. It stops deadly genetic diseases passing down to newly-born babies.C. It marks a foundation stone to change babies’s appearances before birth.D. It turns out to be an advanced form of In Vitro Fertilization.8.Which of the followings is TRUE about mitochondrial diseases?A. They prevent people’s heart from functioning normally.B. They pass down on to babies from their parents.C. Some children infected can be cured with proper treatment.D. Babies can be infected with them through a donor’s egg.9.How can a clinic or a patient be approved of applying the three-person baby technique?A. Only when the clinic gets scientifically ready.B. Only when the patient gets financially prepared.C. Only when the baby to be born needs it to survive.D. Only when the technique is ethnically accepted.10.What is the author’s attitude towards the approval of babies made from three people?A. SupportiveB. IndifferentC. ObjectiveD. Worried二．AWhenever Prince George steps out for an engagement, like on the royal tour of Canada, or poses(摆姿势) for official photographs, there’s one thing about the little royal that has long confused royal watchers: the fact that he only ever wears shorts.According to William Hanson, an etiquette(礼仪) expert, there is a very good reason for this---and it has nothing to do with fashion, but rather royal tradition.“It’s a very English thing to dress a young boy in shorts,” William Hanson said. “Trousers are for older boys and men, whereas shorts on young boys is one of those silent British class markers that we have in England. Although times are slowly changing, a pair of trousers on a young boy is considered quite middle class---quite suburban. No self-respecting royal would want to be considered suburban. Eve n the Duchess of Cambridge.”The tradition can be traced back through the royal family, with both Princes William and Harry regularly seen wearing shorts until they were considered old enough to progress to full-length trousers.“The usual custom is that a boy graduates to trousers around eight years old,” William added. “This is, historically, perhaps due to the practice of ‘breeching’, which dates back to the sixteenth century. A newborn boy would be dressed in a gown for their first year or two and then he was ‘breeched’ and wore articles of clothing that more resembled shorts or trousers than dresses.”Ultimately, he concluded, in the case of William and Kate, the decision to dress George in shorts is more likely down to tradition than a class issue.“The modern habit of upper class families choosing to dress their boys in shorts will deliberately hark back to(使人想起) a bygone age,” he said. “The British upper set are always keen to hold on totradition, and this one also silently marks them out from ‘the rest’.”21. Why does Prince George only wear shorts?A. Prince George loves shorts.B. Prince George loves sports.C. Shorts are a sign of fashion.D. Wearing shorts is a royal practice.22. Which of the following words best describe Prince George’s wearing shorts?A. Reasonable.B. Practical.C. Traditional.D. Fashionable.23. Why do William and Kate dress Prince George in shorts?A. They want to hold on to tradition.B. They want to keep to royal fashion.C. They want to train him to keep out the cold.D. They want to ignore their social position.BAt 23, my career got going. I was midway through a master’s degree at The London School of Economics and Political Science and had been hired as a part-time reporter for a finance website. I got a great one-month review and my boss asked if I was interested in staying with the company after graduation.However, balancing graduate studies with work was challenging. To deal with it, I checked my real self at my office door. I came in to work, greeted my colleagues and listened more than I contributed in each morning meeting. The small team I worked with often seemed busy, so rather than giving ideas that might get turned down, I stayed back.After four months, my boss called me into his office. The meeting was going well until he told methat despite the great work I had produced, the team had held a meeting and decided, “We don’t think it’s the right fit.”I must have looked confused. “You’re ambitious, intelligent and will be very successful,” my boss said. “But you haven’t made enough of an effort to join the team. You lost the enthusiasm you showed in your interview. That won’t work long term.” I couldn’t believe that performing well at my job wasn’t enough to keep it. But I knew my boss was right.“Don’t leave before you leave.” Because we work so hard for success, we don’t like to think that we hurt ourselves sometimes. But each of us must change when necessary. In trying to earn a full time job, I “leaned back” in order not to show too mu ch of myself or my lack of expertise. I learned the hard way isn’t the way to achieve your goals.24. Why did the author write this article?A. To amuse the readers.B. To introduce her wisdom.C. To share her work experience.D. To land a full-time job.25. What did the author mean by saying “I stayed back” in Paragraph 2?A. She was no longer interested in the part-time job.B. She was afraid to give her own ideas in her team.C. She was active in expressing herself in her team.D. She had no ideas to contribute in her team.26. Why did her boss call her into his office one day four months later?A. She didn’t produce the great work.B. She cared little about other members in her team.C. She was concerned only about her own success.D. She didn’t show enough enthusiasm in teamwork.27. What conclusion might the author draw from her work experience?A. Not sharing enough during meetings could lead to being fired from your job.B. Listening is more important than contributing in each morning meeting.C. Getting along well with the other team members could help you keep to your job.D. You must work so hard for your success that you don’t want to hurt yourself.CSome people are so rude!Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on Google? Don't these people realize that they're wasting your time?Maybe I'm the rude one for not appreciating life's little politeness. But many social agreed standards just don't make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts, you don't have to declare who you are or even say hello; E-mail, too, is slower than a text; V oice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated, he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls. “Why are you leaving him voice mails?” my sister asked. “Just text him.”In the age of the smartphone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business's phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on Google Maps. But people still ask these things. And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. Others, like me, want no reply.The anthropologist(人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here's hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.28. Why didn’t the author listen to his father’s voice mail messages?A. He thought voice mail would waste his time.B. He thought voice mail was an impolite way of trying to connect.C. He thought voice mail was an important way of communication.D. He thought his father left him too many voice mails.29. What seems to be the author’s attitude toward texts?A. Favorable.B. Doubtful.C. Reserved.D. Disapproving.30. What does the author suggest modern people do in communication?A. Learn from the old generation.B. Ask once-acceptable questions.C. Respond with a thank-you email.D. Consider their audience.三．AA guide to Beijing museums on International Museum DayInternational Museum Day falls on tomorrow. Have you planned a museum visit yet?

However, this overpowering presence of technology actually makes it harder than ever to achieve a healthy balance of connectivity and disconnection-certainly harder than it was a generation ago.“There are no contemplative(沉思的,冥想的) times that are built into our day like they used to be," Wisdom 2.0 Conference founder Gordhamer told Anderson Cooper in a mindfulness-themed 60 Minutes broadcast on Sunday night. “When I was a kid, my dad came home at 5, and I don't remember him getting work calls or checking his emails-we didn't have email. There were naturally built-in contemplative moments. That doesn't exist anymore. "During this segment of the show, Cooper led a discussion with Gordhamer, Friedman, Carl and Fernandez about the challenges of making time for pauses and contemplative moments in our technology-saturated(技术渗透的) lives. The broadcast also featured a crew of outstanding mindfulness figures from famous American universities and corporations, including Dr. Judson Brewer from the University of Massachusetts and the founder of mindfulness-based stress reduction Jon Kabat-Zinn.“What people are realizing is that constant connectivity is great for part of the day, but if you do it in your entire day, you're more stressed, you can't sleep, you're less present with your kids," said Gordhamer. “They're hungry for some way to say, but I need time for myself and I need time for some kind of contemplative space in my day. "24. What does the underlined word 6/devices" in Paragraph l probably refer to?A. High-tech products.B. Chances.C. Pressures.D. Communications.25. prevents us from pauses and contemplative moments in our lives.A. The decrease of contemplative momentsB. The update of app softwaresC. The irresistible attraction of technologyD. The invention of smart phones26. What seems to be Gordhamer's tone when he is describing the past life?A. Desirable.B. Negative.C. Uncompromising.D. Sharp.COriginally from Trinidad, Chitra was raised in the Hindu faith and, aged 18, was expected to accept her family's proposed suitor and begin an arranged marriage. When Chitra was informed she would have to give up her own career dreams, she refused to see any more potential husbands. Headstrong in her determination to be independent, she moved in 1963, unmarried, to Clapham London to pursue her teacher training qualifications.At the age of 29, Chitra was finally well and truly overcome by the "good looking fellow" she met on a London bound train. Back then it wasn't a simple matter of exchanging mobile numbers and their early courtship(求爱) is a list of forgotten meeting places, as well as a wrongly addressed postcard that could well have ended their romance before it began. Chitra had all but given up when they did finally manage to get together; Ron turned up unannounced at Peckham Girls School, where Chitra was working. But his random arrival set a few tongues wagging!

I turned in some long-saved frequent flier miles for the airplane ticket, but had to shell out (花大笔钱) cash I really couldn’t afford for the hotel. I found a travel website where a discounted promotional 3-night stay was purchased from a recently-opened hotel.About three weeks before the trip, l had to regretfully cancel and only then realized the room, while transferable to another person , couldn’t be changed to a later date and wasn’t refundable (可退还的) . My effort for the next two weeks to sell it on Craigslist was a fiasco. Five days before the" big weekend" I gave up trying to spend any money and decided I' d contact some acquaintances who live in Chicago and offer someone a free" staycation", After trying a handful of people all of whom already had their own plans, I was determined to have the room not go to waste.That's when it suddenly occurred to me that I was looking at the room in the wrong way. Instead of viewing it for vacation purposes, surely there must be a way to put it to good use and that was when the idea that some sort of shelter might be able to use it hit me. I finally found one whose focus is aiding victims of domestic violence. This particular one was willing to listen to my out-of-left-field story and made the transfer of the room convenient. The shelter was working with a desperate woman and her young daughter, who were fortunately able to make use of the room.24. The author purchased a 3-night stay from a newly-opened hotel ________ .A. to act as a promoterB. to experience e-businessC. to get a free air ticketD. to save some money25. The room the author booked could only be _________.A. cancelled within 24 hoursB. changed to a later dateC. returned half of the moneyD. transferred to another person26. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Joke.B. Failure.C. Blessing.D. Mystery.CWhen I heard the piano, I walked to Mrs. Windsor's house and waited outside as I always did. That meant she was working with another student, and I was not supposed to bother them by ringing the bell. I stood against the wall and daydreamed what I' d rather be doing. "Almost anything", I sighed dejectedly. I had been tutored enough to read, understand, and even write some musical compositions, but I just didn't have a gift for it. It didn’t come to me naturally. I thought back to happier times when I was writing stories and acting them out with my friends, cutting up old clothes to make dresses that performers wear in plays, and building scenery out of old things we found. But Mrs. Windsor had offered to give me the lessons for free, so I felt my duty to try.The door opened and Wendy Barton came out. I walked in, sat down on the piano bench and began to sort through my sheet music."Hello," I heard a voice behind me say softly, I turned around to see a little girl standing behind me, eating an。

Day 2阅读理解(2)(记叙文)Passage 1文体：记叙文词数：259 限时：7分钟Bryan Forbes, who was born in London on 22 July 1926, made his first screen acting appearance in 1918.He landed supporting parts in several outstanding British films, including An Inspector Calls(1954) and The Colditz Story(1955), but it was not long before screenwriting and directing attracted him behind the camera. Together with Richard Attenborough, he set up Beaver Films in 1959. Its first film, The Angry Silence(1960), was written by Forbes and Attenborough played the lead role.His directing career began in 1961 with Whistle down the Wind, featuring child star Hayley Mills. Forbes directed many more films in the 1960s and early 1970s. In 1969 he took over as head of production and managing director of EMI—MGM Elstree, and the studio achieved outstanding successes. But it was a torrid time for the company. Troubled constantly by financial difficulties and staffing issues, Forbes quitted in 1971. He then directed The Stepford Wives, based on the novel by Ira Levin, and in 1975 International Velvet, starring Tatum O’Neal, in 1978.Forbes, who counted the late Queen Mother among his friends, continued directing, writing and acting throughout the 1980s and early1990s. He also found success as an author with a number of novels, the latest of which, The Soldier’s Story, was published last year.After Forbes passed away, film critic(批评家) Mark Kermode said, “once I had fun—boyish pleasure of telling Bryan Forbes how much I loved Stepford Wives. He was char ming and modest. A great loss.”1.Having played several supporting roles, Forbes began to ______.A.work as a cameramanB.make a lead actorC.build his own company aloneD.write and direct films2.Which of the following is the first film directed by Forbes?A.An Inspector Calls.B.The Colditz Story.C.Whistle down the Wind.D.The Angry Silence.3.The underlined word “torrid” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ______.A.suitableB.toughC.preciousD.steady4.Which of the following can be best used to describe Forbes?A.Talented.B.Well-educated.C.Proud.D.Attractive.Passage2文体：记叙文词数：330 限时：8分钟I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me, I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got ona part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.1.What is the author’s present job?A.Working part-time in a college.B.Taking care of children for a family.C.Helping children with their schoolwork.D.Looking after children at a kindergarten.2.When staying with the two girls’ family, the author ______.A.was paid for extra workB.often worked long hoursC.got much help from her bossD.took a day off every other week3.Why did the author leave her first job?A.She found a full-time jobB.She was fed up with children.C.She decided to attend a part-time course.D.She needed a rest after working extra hours.4.What has the author learned from her own experiences?A.Less successful students can still have a career.B.Qualifications are necessary for a career.C.Hard work makes an excellent student.D.One must choose the job she likes.Passage3文体：记叙文词数：344 限时：7分钟“Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy—they’re given after all. Choices can be hard.”—Jeff BezosI got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I’d been a garage inventor. I’d always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on theInternet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but finally, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.1.What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?A.His dream of being an inventor.B.The support of his wife.C.The greatly increasing usage of the Internet.lions of exciting titles.2.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?A.The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him.B.He would be very excited if he tried it out.C.He would be always having a doubt if he didn’t try.D.The decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him.3.We can know from the passage that ______.A.the boss thought the idea was suitable for the authorB.the author wanted someone else to try the ideaC.the author might not regret if he failed the ideaD.the author might go back to his boss if he failed4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Cleverness and KindnessB.The Starting of AmazonC.Following My PassionD.We Are What We Choose答案及解析Passage 1【语篇导读】本文介绍了英国著名演员、编剧、导演、制片人布赖恩·福布斯的生平事迹。

That is why I am sending you this printed reply to your letter. I’ll try to answer some of the questions that are commonly asked.Where did I get the idea for Stuart Little and for Charlotte’s Web? Well, many years ago I went to bed one night in a railway sleeping car, and during the night I dreamed about a tiny boy who acted rather lik e a mouse. That’s how the story of Stuart Little got started.As for Charlotte’s Web, I like animals and my barn（谷仓）is a very pleasant place to be, at all hours. One day when I was on my way to feed the pig, I began feeling sorry for the pig because, like most pigs, he was doomed to die. This made me sad. So I started thinking of ways to save a pig’s life. I had been watching a big grey spider at her work and was impressed by how clever she was at weaving. Gradually I worked the spider into the story that you know, a story of friendship and salvation（拯救）on a farm. Three years after I started writing it, it was published. (I am not a fast worker, as you can see.)Sometimes I’m asked how old I was when I started to write, and what made me want to write.I started early—as soon as I could spell. In fact, I can’t remember any time in my life when I wasn’t busy writing. I don’t know what caused me to do it, or why I enjoyed it, but I think children often find pleasure and satisfaction in trying to set their thoughts down on paper, either in words or in pictures. I was no good at drawing, so I used words instead. As I grew older, I found that writing can be a way of earning a living.Some of my readers want me to visit their school. Some want me to send a picture, or an autograph, or a book. And some ask questions about my family and my animals and my pets. Much as I’d like to, I can’t go visiting. I can’t send books, either—you can find them in a bookstore or a library. Many children assume that a writer owns (or even makes) his own books. This is not true—books are made by the publisher. If a writer wants a copy, he must buy it. That’s why I can’t send books. And I do not send signatures—I leave that to the movie stars. I live most of the year in the country, in New England. From our windows we can look out at the sea and the mountains. I live near my married son and three grandchildren.Are my stories true, you ask? No, they are imaginary tales, containing fantastic characters and events. In real life, a family does n’t have a child who looks like a mouse; in real life, a spider doesn’t spin words in her web. In real life, a swan doesn’t blow a trumpet. But real life is only one kind of life—there is also the life of the imagination. And although my stories are imaginary, I like to think that there is some truth in them, too—truth about the way people and animals feel and think and act.Yours sincerely：E.B. White51. The author wrote the letter because _________.A. he is not a fast workerB. he was invited to answer the questionsC. he didn’t have enough time to answer all the lettersD. he felt sorry for not being able to send books to his readers52. What probably caused the writer to get interested in writing children’s book?A. Writing can be a way to earn his living.B. The fact that he was not good at drawing.C.

From Para.5, we can learn that _____ .A. many famous people like to visit schoolsB. movie stars will send autographs to readersC. many people think authors have copies of their own booksD. the author lives with his married son and three grandchildren54. In the last paragraph, the author is trying to tell us ____ .A. we only have one kind of lifeB. there is no truth in imaginary talesC. imaginary tales are based on our true lifeD. fantastic characters and events only exist in imaginary talesBThree Japanese tourists taking a holiday in Australia got stuck when their GPS told them they could drive from the mainland to an island, failing to mention the 15 kilometres of water and mud in between.As they drove their hired car from Moreton Bay in Queensland to nearby North Stradbroke Island, they started to notice the firm gravel（沙石）surface they were driving on giving way to the renowned bay mud. However, being confident that their GPS would direct them to a road soon, they decided to plough on, managing to travel around 500 metres before their Hyundai Getz（现代汽车）was up to its axles tires in mud. To make matters worse, the tide started to come in and soon forced them to seek help and abandon the vehicle. Just four hours later the car was trapped in two metres of water —— to the great amusement of onlookers on the shore and passengers on passing boats and ferries.Yuzu Noda, 21, said she was listening to the GPS and “it told us we could drive down there. It kept saying it would navigate us to a road. But we got stuck…there’s lots of mud.” She and her travel companions Tomonari Saeki, 22, and Keita Osada, 21, instead had to give up their plans for a day trip to the island and headed back to the Gold Coast of a lift from the RACQ tow truck（吊车）driver who was called to the trapped car. No such luck for the hired car though – after assessing the situation, no attempt was made to recover it. The students from Tokyo, who are due to return home tomorrow, said the experience would not put them off returning to Australia for another visit. “We want to come back to Australia again. Everyone is very nice, even today.” Ms Yuzu said.Remaining excited, Mr. Tomonari joked that the car may have got stuck because it was built in Korea. “Maybe if it was Japanese it would be okay,” he said. He added: “It has rained every day on our six day holiday. Hopefully next time we come back it will be sunny.” The car was coveredby insurance, but the tourists will have to pay up to about $1500 in extra charges.55. The three Japanese tourists got stuck because ______.A. there was no way to the islandB. their GPS was broken during their journeyC. their GPS had given the wrong informationD. their car was made in Korea instead of Japan56. The y didn’t abandon their car until ______.A. there came the tideB. they got stuck in the mudC. some onlookers went to save themD. they managed to travel around 500 metres57. How did these Japanese students get back?A. They had to walk back to their living place.B. They had to repair their GPS and drove back.C. They had to take a lift from the tow truck driver.D. They had to turn to passengers on passing boats and ferries.58. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. The car was left where it was trapped.B. The passengers saved these students in the end.C. Mr. Tomonari got very frustrated after the journey.D. The car was covered by insurance so they didn’t have to pay any money.CThere are many dimensions(维) to football's allure（诱惑）and appeal: top-class moves, thrilling goals, majestic star players, thunderous encounters and passionate fans. Football stirs the emotions all over the globe, brings people from contrasting cultures together, and promotes solid virtues such as fairness, team spirit and tolerance. All these facts will emerge in their most intense form at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil next summer.Millions of people will be transfixed（让…出神）by this unique festival of sport and friendship. We are thoroughly looking forward to football of the highest quality. We're delighted to welcome the biggest names in the sport as well as those nations set to appear at the finals for the first time. And we're looking forward to greeting fans from all over the world as they fill our cities with even more colour and life. A heartfelt welcome to everyone!Brazil is a cosmopolitan（四海一家的）country with a passion for football. The people will devote themselves to the job of ensuring the 2014 FIFA World Cup is an unforgettable experience, a fact demonstrated by the thousands of ordinary folk who have come forward as volunteers.Brazil is well prepared to host the FIFA World Cup. We have finished constructing our new, modern stadiums and an outstanding transportation system. The organization is in the enormously capable hands of the Organizing Committee headed by Ronaldo Luiz Nazario de Lima. The slogan "A time to make friends" perfectly describes our intention to ensure everyone delighted in a secure and peaceful festival of football.The FIFA World Cup is a unique opportunity for Brazil to present herself as a hospitable, joyful and modern nation bursting with ideas. I am convinced that the flames of passion and togetherness engendered by the FIFA World Cup in Brazil will spread to the entire world.I'm personally looking forward to a festival of goals, excitement and fair play. We Brazilians will be right behind our national team, but our aim is to act as welcoming hosts and friends to every team and their fans. Passionate and cosmopolitan Brazil is delighted to welcome visitors to the 2014 FIFA World Cup.59. The charm of football includes all except .A. thrilling goalsB. the playersC. violenceD. the fans60. The underlined word “engendered ” (in Para. 5) is closest in meaning to ______.A. brought aboutB. handed overC. turned intoD. passed down61. In order to host the World Cup, Brazil .A. has organized groups of passionate fansB. sets up a national teamC. has constructed new, modern stadiumsD. tries to take a friendly disguise62. This passage can be classified as ______.A. a news reportB. a feature storyC. greeting speechD. an advertisementDMarjorie Baer used to joke about her retirement plans. She wasn't married and had no kids, but she didn't intend to be alone—she and all her single friends would move into a fictional home she called Casa de Biddies. Instead, Baer developed terminal brain cancer when she was 52. But just as she'd hoped, her friends and family provided her with love and care to the end.Ballance was only the first of Baer's friends who became her unofficial caregivers. With her brother Phil Baer from Los Angeles, they worked out a system to watch over their friend and allow her to keep some of the privacy and independence she cherished.Baer's good friend Ruth Henrich took Baer to doctors' appointments and helped her deal with all the aspects of life —answering machines, TV controls, and even phone numbers. After Henrich sent out an e-mail request, a group of volunteers signed up to ferry Baer back and forth to radiation therapy（放疗）. Others in Baer's circle offered up particular talents: A nurse friend helped Baer figure out how to get what she was due from Social Security and her disability insurance; a lawyer pal helped Baer with her will; a partner who was an accountant took over her bills when she could no longer manage them. "There was this odd sense that the right person always showed up," says Ballance. Their arrangement worked remarkably well.Unmarried women are one of the fastest-growing groups in America; experts are concerned about how care-giving will be managed for them as they age. If the experience of Baer's friends is a guide, the Internet will play a role. It's already making it possible to create communities of caregivers who may have only one thing in common: the person who needs their help. On personal "care pages" set up through services such as Lotsa Helping Hands, friends and family members can post a list of tasks that need to be done, volunteer to do them, and keep updated on the person's condition. As Baer's cancer progressed, for example, her friends set up a page on Yahoo! where people could sign up to deliver meals or do errands（差事）.Catherine Fox, one of the friends who were present when Baer died, was deeply affected. "It was so comforting to know that if you're willing to ask for help, the generosity of family andfriends can be phenomenal（显著的）. It makes me feel secure and hopeful to know that help is there when you need it. "63. The most appropriate title of this passage should be ______.A. On her own, but not aloneB. A friend in need is a friend indeedC. A new practice of American governmentD. A phenomenal advantage of the Internet64. Who helped Marjorie Baer get her disability insurance?A. Ruth Henrich.B. Her brother.C. A nurse friend.D. Ballance.65. The underlined part in paragraph four suggests that the Internet will ______.A. play a role in American future pension systemB. provide online medical care for aged unmarried womenC. help manage care-giving for unmarried women as they ageD. help those aged unmarried women to kill their spare time66. The writer tells us the story of Marjorie Baer for the purpose of ______.A. reminding us to be kind and make as many friends as we canB. informing that there will be a new trend of care-giving for the single elderlyC. persuading us that we can enjoy our r etirement even if we don’t have a childD. introducing the convenience that will be brought by the Internet after we retireEThe State Council declared Wednesday it would restart China's nuclear power program, ending the hiatus（中断）in nuclear construction since Japan's Fukushima nuclear disaster last year.China has been the most courageous country in building nuclear power, with the largest number of plants currently under construction. Nuclear power is facing a tough time in developed countries. The Japanese public is demanding the closure of all the country's nuclear power plants. China is at the forefront of nuclear power development. But it has been forced into this position.Rapid economic development coupled with improvements in people's life both demand more electricity. It is impossible to exploit fossil resources forever as the supply of coal, oil and natural gas is limited. China has no choice but to develop nuclear power.China must be the safest user of nuclear power. It should become a leading country in developing nuclear power technologies and increasing the world's knowledge of nuclear power.It needs to do at least two things. First, it needs to promote safety in nuclear power plants, based on the technologies of the West. The former Soviet Union, the US and Japan all had severe nuclear accidents, proving there are risks. China should try to remove these risks.Second, China should establish effective communication mechanisms（机制）between the government, power plants and the public. It's wrong to think the government can control every aspect of nuclear power plant construction.The opposition to nuclear power program in developed countries has prevented them from building new plants, but they already have many. These governments are reluctant to close these plants despite strong opposition, because they cannot find better substitutes.Nuclear power only occupies 1.8 percent of China's current electricity grid（输电网）, much lower than the proportion in many developed countries. China's nuclear power plan should introduce the advantages of the technologies of other countries and also be creative in providingsecurity. Its space technology is not the most advanced, but its launch safety measures have proven to be among the best.China's high-profile high-speed railway development has drawn a lot of controversy, as will the active attitude towards developing nuclear power. But China cannot just copy what the developed countries have done. The development of nuclear power must be unique to China and it must be a ground-breaking success. But now, the real test lies ahead.67. In the third paragraph the writer focuses on ______.A. the reason why China is to develop nuclear powerB. the difficulty China has in developing nuclear powerC. the measures China will take to develop nuclear powerD. the benefits China will have by developing nuclear power68. What attitude do people in developed countries have towards nuclear power program?A. Supportive.B. Opposed.C. Indifferent.D. Objective.69. If the Chinese government is to develop nuclear power, it needs to ______.A. copy exactly what the developed countries have doneB. depend entirely on domestic scientists and technologiesC. avoid people’s involvement in nuclear power plant constructionD. do everything in its power to guarantee safety in nuclear power plants70. What is the future of China’s nuclear power program according to the text?A. It will be unique but can hardly pass too many tests.B. It will be full of controversy but carried out firmly.C. It will be on a smooth way to a ground-breaking success.D. It will receive much opposition from developed countries.31—50 ACBCA DDABC BABCD DACBD51-54 CDCC 55-58 CACA 59-62 CACC 63-66 ACCB 67-70 ABDB。

This ability comes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle(奇迹it is.Obviously,the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animal. Of course,some animals have powers just as amazing,Birds can fly thousands milesby\observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year.In Nature's talent show,humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act.If we reduce it to basic terms,it's an ability for communicating information to others,by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.Not that we don't have other powers of communication.Our facial expressions convey our emotions,such as anger,or joy,or disappointment.The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad.This is so-called"body language".

Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals,including human beings,instinctively acquire and display.Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct?If so,how did human beings acquire this amazing skills?Biologist can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesn't tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.本文是介绍关于人类使用语言的能力的说明文,主要阐述人区分动物的特殊能力及其相似性。

After this exchange,he still hadn't spoken,although I knew he was excited.I also was happy that I had been briefly distracted from my self-pity.Still holding the card carefully with both hands,he looked up at me and said, "Mister,you sure are lucky.""Yes,"I said,"I sure am."That day,I got the last seat on that flight home.56.Which word can be placed at the beginning of the third paragraph?A.ExcitedlyB.CautiouslyC.DisappointedlyD.Sadly57.The following contributed to the author’s low spirits EXCEPT________.A.the weatherB.the noisinessC.the bagD.the flight58.By“My day is now complete”,the author actually means.A.it is common to meet a boy at an airport.B.it is fun to be with a boy.C.he knows that a boy usually brings along good luck.D.he wouldn’t like to be bothered at all.59.The author admitted that he sure was lucky,because.A.the boy returned his hat to him.B.the boy liked his hat very muchC.the boy gave his seat to him.D.the boy changed his mood for the better.【参考答案】A篇BCDDBLast year,A Bite of China,made by CCTV’s Documentary Channel,sparked discussion not only on Chinese food,but also on locally made docum entary programs.When you think of documentaries,you may think of them as long,boring programs. But documentaries can be wonderful and bring stories from the real world into our homes.With fascinating footage(影片片段and stories,documentaries encourage us to think about interesting issues we wouldn’t necessarily know about.So,what makes a good documentary,and what should we pay attention to when we watch one?Here,we offer a few easy strategies to help you get the most out of watching documentaries. Pay attention to the themes While watching a documentary, keep your eyes and ears peeled for the themes people talk about and what ideas they focus on. Is it meant to be informative or raise a certain emotional response? Think critically Listen to what the people in the documentary are saying and ask yourself the following questions: If you were debating with someone or introducing a new concept, would you say the things the people in the documentary are saying? Do the arguments make sense? Check the sources If you’re sitting at the computer and can’t think of anything to do, why not look up the points the documentary made and see if they are accurate? You could even read more about what is presented in the documentary. Who are the creators? The creators or financial backers of a film will usually be involved with how the subject matt er is presented. For instance, as the documentary 2016: Obama’s America was directed in large part by a conservative writer, it’s not surprising that it’s critical of President Obama from the beginning. 60.
