Keep a notebook at hand so that you can seize the opportunities to accumulate new words 36 . During your next study session, review these words and phrases and try to commit to memorytheir definitions.Take your timeWhen you’re learning something new, you are 37 to get frustrated if you think you aren’t progressing quickly enough. Don’t worry, just take your time because English isn’t something you can learn overnight. Allow yourself to 38 at times on the dictionary at the start of English learning instead of getting annoyed with yourself. While you’ll have to re turn to it later, you may find it easier the second time around.To sum up, the more you’re exposed to English, the more your skills will improve. Don’t be afraid to ask someone to 39 themselves when they ask you a question that you don’t understand. Listen for words that you know and try to work out what’s being said based on the text, etc. These situations above can 40 the best learning experiences.III.Reading Comprehension（30）Section A（22）Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.A recent article in The Wall Street journal says that Chinese students in American universities are not getting the most out of their educational opportunities. The article says that 41 Chinese students work hard, many are not acquiring the soft skills that come with fully participating in campus life.Soft skills refer to things like socialization and learning to be 42 . These are the skills students develop by 43 socially with American and other international students and by learning how to handle problems in a new 44 and make their own decisions. A large number of Chinese students, 45 , tend to self-segregate, that is, they just 46 other Chinese students and 47 the campus culture and even the wider American culture that surrounds them.Jocelyn Jia, a 22-year-old from Hainan studying at the university of north Carolina at Chapel Hill, says, “If you just come to study and hang out with Chinese people, all you bring back to China is the 48 . It’s just a piece of paper. That’s it” Jocelyn studies hard, but she likes to 49 , too. She’s taking every opportunity to make American friends and experience things she couldn’t have at a(n) 50 university.Chinese companies want to hire “haigui” like Jocelyn. Ken Chen of a consulting firm in Shanghai says an American college education teaches you how to socialize, develop your 51 and know how to think and solve problems. Mr. Chen says these are the kinds of people he is looking for.An American education isn’t 52 , though. It can cost as much as U.S. $200,000 for a four-yearprogram. But Charlotte Fan, a graduate of Duke University from Shanghai, says the 53 was worth it. She’s now working for an American company and, in the Wall Street Journal article, is quoted as saying. “I’ve learned a lot and changed a lot in college, not just to learn knowledge, but more importantly the way of thinking, creativity, communication—the soft skills you never learn from 54 but learn from day-to-day life and from interacting with all the smart kids around you in school. Those sorts of things are what a Chinese education doesn’t 55 .”41．A．if B．while C．as D．unless42．A．enjoyable B．permanent C．intelligent D．independent43．A．mixing B．combining C．cooperating D．conflicting44．A．society B．environment C．class D．organization45．A．however B．in addition C．as a result D．for instance46．A．take pity on B．show respect to C．rely on D．hang out with47．A．ignore B．admire C．require D．challenge48．A．diploma B．proof C．document D．title49．A．have fun B．have a rest C．do research D．take a trip50．A．average B．Chinese C．traditional D．prestigious51．A．social well-being B．financial literary C．physical strength D．emotional intelligence 52．A．adequate B．cheap C．worthwhile D．extensive53．A．time B．effort C．investment D．degree54．A．teachers B．books C．movies D．friends55．A．allow for B．know about C．focus on D．seek outSection B（8）Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AOnline jobs have opened the door for many people to earn a living (谋生) or make some extra money from the comfort of their homes. This includes teens as well.If you’re looking for such a job,here are some choices you can consider.Customer ServiceIf you are 16 years old and over, you have a chance to work with Uhaul as a customer service person. You just need to have a good pair of head-phones and high-speed Internet in order to do this job. Basic pay starts at $7.50an hour.Sell Items OnlineSelling items online is one of the easiest ways to make quick cash.Teens can turn it into a good business by selling things on Bonanza. You need to start sorting through (分类) items at your home that are no longer being used and list them for sale.Take SurveysAnother easy task teens can do to earn money is to take surveys online. You don’t need any work experience to do this and can be as young as 13 years old to get started. Survey sites like VIP V oices,Swagbucks, Harris Poll, E-Poll, and Paid Viewpoint allow teens to start taking surveys for cash and gift cards.And your opinions should be expressed clearly in English.EtsyDo you love to make new things?

It can be a new experience, but you shouldn’t worry. We’ve put together a guide on how to survive the first week.You’re not alone!Remember everybody else in your year is on the same boat. They may not realize it, but they’re just as nervous as you are. Moving to Senior High school is an opportunity, not a problem. Things are different and all youneed to do is be polite and learn the new rules.Teachers are ready to help!If you’re unsure what to do or are worried about anything, then you had better ask for help. Teachers are probably the best people to turn to as they’ re experienced in helping new students. Some Senior High schools also have a “friends system”. If your school has this, then you will be paired with an older student. They will look out for you and help you if you have any problems or questions.____________________There are lots of differences between Junior High school and Senior High school. One of them lies in learning methods. In Junior High School, the learning process can be completed without much difficulty if you have a good memory. While study in Senior High requires both deep comprehension (理解) and memorizing, but the former (前者) is much more important. So that explains why many students can deal with the study in Junior High but can’t adapt to the learning process in Senior High. Besides you will need a homework diary or a student planner to help yourself get organized, or you will not be able to finish different tasks.Other pointsIf you’ve got an elder brother or sister at the school then ask them for advice. Be yourself! It sounds simple, but people will know you much better if you just act naturally.Having early nights makes a difference and you’ll find it easier to get up in the morning!59．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?A．Other students have similar feelings to yours.B．Other students have to learn boating with you.C．Other students will help you solve your problems.D．Other students will teach you politeness and new rules.60．The new students turn to teachers first when having problems because___________A．teachers are more patient than parents B．teachers are good at helping solve problemsC．teachers are nice to every student D．parents are too busy to help them61．Which subtitle best suits paragraph 3?A．Different learning methods B．More homeworkC．More organized D．All change62．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To tell students the importance of learning.B．To ask students to take friendship seriously in Senior High school.C．To make a difference when moving up to Senior High school.D．To help new students to get used to the life in Senior High school.CThe new radio programme from Self-help expert Glennon Doyle unexpectedly disturbed me. In a session of We Can Do Hard Things, she focuses on boundaries and their importance to our mental happiness. I heartily agree with her, because saying a polite but firm “no” is one of the basics for a happy life. I was, however, interested when she raised the idea that perhaps, as well as learning when to confirm our boundaries, we also need to stretch them. When does a boundary become a cage that locks us away?Isn’t it always the case that just as you think you’ve got an area of life nailed; somebody comes along to show you that that’s not the case? As I listened, I started to see boundaries that might cause more problems than they were solving.There was the work boundary that said that unless a project fell exactly into my topics, I wouldn’t take it-which meant that I turned down work that was otherwise interesting and rewarding.There was the boundary that said I wasn’t to buy anything until I’d reached my savings goal-which resulted in me having to restart my laptop 20 times a day.And then there was a boundary around relationships that set out exactly how I should be treated and what I wanted in them. Helpful to some extent, it blocked me from allowing someone to express their love for me, even if it wasn’t quite what I had predicted.Had I been doing boundaries wrong all the time? Did I need to figure them all out again? I’ve spent the past few weeks looking at the boundaries I’ve secretly put in place, and I’ve let myself lower some that have been my protection over the years. Then I’ve come to the conclusion that, when it comes to boundaries, I’m a beginner again, and that’s fine. In fact, being back at the beginning is a blessing because it means there are still lessons to be learned and adventures to be had and that is something for which I can only be grateful.63．What has really interested the author in Glennon Doyle’s programme?A．The importance of confirming our boundaries. B．The benefits of boundaries to our happiness.C．The urgency of maintaining our boundaries. D．The necessity of reassessing our boundaries. 64．Which statement on boundaries will the author agree with?A．We should favour savings goals over boundaries.B．Boundaries tend to keep us from potential friendsC．Boundaries are very likely to relieve boredom at work.D．We should stick to boundaries despite inconvenience.65．How did the author feel about boundaries after the?A．Relaxed.B．Depressed.C．Pressured.D．Amused.66．What is probably the best tittle for the passage?A．Just when you think you’ve got things sorted. B．Just where you believe there’s no way outC．How can we live a life without boundaries?D．How do we become victims of boundaries?Section C（8）Directions: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Living off gridWhen you need electricity, you just plug in the machine and switch it on. If you need water, you turn on the tap. 67 For many people, these facilities are the basics of civilized society and the idea of living without them seems risky. Yet for a growing number of people, the idea of living off grid — without electricity, water or sewage — is an increasingly attractive lifestyle.Off-gridders do not have to give up electricity or a modern lifestyle — some choose to, but most use small hydroelectric power systems, solar panels or windmills to generate enough power for their needs. Heating and cooking needs are met by solar energy or wood burning systems, and toilet facilities range from non-water toilets to outside compost toilets. 68 It ranges from traditional yurts (a type of tent) to luxury house with high-speed internet and central heating. Whether they live in simple homes or luxury houses, what they all have in common is that their lifestyles do not create any pollution or carbon emissions — the ultimate goal for off-gridders.Around 100,000 people are thought to be living off grid in the UK now. 69 They grow their own food, home-school their children and provide their own medical care. They are people who have been priced out of the housing market or who have grown disillusioned with what modern society can offer and who decides that an alternative lifestyle isn’t a pipe dream, but a viable option.A part from living an alternative lifestyle, cost is a big factor in choosing to live off-grid. Off-grid houses are far cheaper to build than ordinary homes since they don’t need to be connected to the electricity or water supplies and even road access is not necessary. Materials tend to be cheaper, too. Popular options include straw or old tyres and cement.Surprisingly, the biggest problem off-gridders face is not building their homes or becoming self-sufficient butgetting permission to build. Rural areas away from town are the perfect choice but these are often protected by law from construction of any kind or have building restrictions. There are now several websites dedicated to land-sharing so that the costs of buying land and getting permission can be shared, and there are increasing numbers of off-grid communities. 70 Off-gridding could soon be common all over Europe and America.A．Many are self-sufficient, not just providing their own electricity, water and sewage systems, but in all aspects.B．After you use the toilet, you flush it and the waste disappears.C．This shift from individual to group off-gridding reflects the fact that the trend is growing noticeably.D．They live in a huge variety of types of accommodation.E．Living off-grid still has a long way to go before it becomes a mainstream way of living.F．Rather than building permanent homes, vans or mobile homes or even old shipping containers are other options.IV. Reading expression（12）Directions: Read the following passage. Then answer the questions.Vision of HopeMolly Burke was not born blind. She started losing her sight when she was four years old. Doctors said that she had a rare eye disease that would gradually take away her vision. In her first grade, she learned to read Braille (the language used for the blind), although she could still see.By age 14, Molly was completely blind. What’s worse, a group of girls who were once her friends started bullying her. Eventually, Molly became disappointed and depressed. Her high school years were not easy.After she finished high school, Molly wanted to do something that would help others. Then she found out about Me to We, an organization that runs international volunteer trips and leadership camps. Molly knew what she wanted to do next - to help inspire people by being a speaker at Me to We.Molly began speaking at schools all over the USA and Canada about bullying. Her advice? Be strong! During a speech in Toronto, she spoke to about 20,000 people. After her speech, the crowd stood up and clapped. “Molly has a real ability to inspire people and to help others,” her father says.In 2014, Molly started her own channel on social media, uploading things like makeup video blogs, or vlogs. As of 2019, she has close to two million followers, some of whom don’t even know she’s blind. She tries to be a role model for young people but is realistic about what she can and can’t do. She even makes fun of the challenges she faces as a blind person - like sharing a video that she once bit into a lemon, thinking it was a potato.“How can you hold somebody like that back?” says Molly’s mother. “She’s unstoppable”.71．Has Molly lost her sight when she started learning Braille?________________________________________________________72．Why were Molly’s high school years not easy for her?________________________________________________________73．What does the organization Me to We do?________________________________________________________74．What’s Molly’s advice on how to face bullying?_______________________________________________________75．How did Molly inspire people besides giving speeches?_______________________________________________________76．How do you understand the title “Vision of Hope” according to the passage?_______________________________________________________V.Translation（8）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.77．均衡饮食就是每天你应该吃大量的水果、蔬菜和谷物，例如面条和面包。

Imagine yourlife 36 sight. Cover your ears, and 37 being deaf and blindfor the rest of your life. Think about the songs, the voices, themusic you will never 38 again.For the first 19 months of her life, Helen Keller was 39 tosee and hear. But then a sickness struck her. She became 40blind and deaf. For the rest of her life, she was never to see or hear.She didn’t have memories of sight or 41 . And the sickness struckher when she was a baby 42 she learned to talk. But Helen Keller became a teacher and writer. She was in the hearts of millions of people.43 did this miracle(奇迹) happen? For the first seven years of her life she was almost like a 44 animal. Her mother and father did not know how to 45 her. She screamed, kicked and cried. She wanted very much to have others understand her, but there was no way she could do. 46 her parents decided to send for a family 47 to treat her. Some went away shortly after they spent a few days with her, until the 48 one — Annie Sullivan came, who seemed to be sent here by 49 , for during the rest of Helen’s life, she stayed with Helen to overcome (克服) a lot of unthinkable 50 .Sullivan was a lovely young woman with great patience and imagination. She was a born teacher, 51 of turning a deaf-blind creature into a useful human being. It was this teacher that did not let Helen’s world be 52 . Through the teacher’s hands and fingers, Helen heard the sounds 53 one can hear on a farm, the noises made by cows, horses, chickens and pigs.54 back on those years, Helen once said, she was greatly struck by her teacher’s wisdom and she was very grateful 55 her teacher.36.

With a modern airliner you can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.Traveling by train is slower than by air, but it has its own advantages. For example, you can see the country you are traveling through. Besides, modern trains havecomfortable seats and dining cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable and comfortable.Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large liners and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different places. Traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish—where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night. That is why traveling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or a plane when they are traveling on business.56.

Thirty children tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out.“Who did this?” she asked again. She never became angry, but she was this time. She held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window?”“Oh, oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. But I did not do it on purpose. It was caused by a bad throw of a baseball. Why did it have to be me?If I admitted it, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? “My father will get angry at me,” I thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, but something much stronger than me pull it up.“I did it,” I said. Then I was silent. It was hard enough to say what I had.My teacher went to one of our bookshelves and took down a book. She then began walking towards my desk. I had never known my teacher to hit a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my face. “Here is the field guide about birds that you always check out from our school library. It is yours now. We have got a new one for the school. You will not be punished(惩罚) .But remember, it’s only for your honesty.”I couldn’t believe it!

Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them find you by staying in one place.There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling (吹口哨) three times. Stop. Then shout orwhistle three times. Any signal given three times is a call for help.Keep up the shouting or whistling always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gun- shots. When someone gives a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house — cover up the holes with branches(树枝) with lots of leaves. Make yourself asoft bed with leaves and grass.What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You will have to leave your little branch house to look for a river. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back.The most important thing to do when you are lost is — stay in one place.68.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Are you a graduate trying to plan out the best career path for yourself? Here, some tips are given on how to go about it.A university degree is no __51__ of a job, and job hunting in itself requires a whole set of skills. If you find you are not getting past the first interview, ask yourself what is happening. Is it a(n) __52__ to communicate or are there some skills you lack? And find out what you need to do to bring yourself up to the level of __53__ that would make you more attractive to them.Do not be too discouraged if you are __54__ for a job, but think about the reasons the employers give. Those who made the second interview might have been studying the same subject as you and be of __55__ ability level, but they had something which made them a __56__ match to the selector’s ideal. That could be exp erience gained through projects or vacation work,or it might be that they were better at communicating what they could offer. Do not take the comments at __57__value: think back to the interviews that generated them and make a list of where you think the shortfall in your performance lies. With this sort of analytical approach you will eventually get your foot in the door.Deciding how long you should stay in your first job is a tough call. Stay too long and future employers may question your __58__ and ambition. Of course, it depends on where you are aiming. If you are a graduate, spending five or six years in the same job is not too long provided that you take full advantage of the __59__. However, do not use this as a(n) __60__ for lacking interest or enthusiasm. Graduates sometimes fail to take ownership of their careers and take the initiative. It is up to you to make the most of what’s available within a company, and to monitor your progress in case you need to __61__. This applies particularly if you are still not sure where your career path lies.It is helpful to think through what kind of experience you need to get your __62__ job and it is not a problem to move around to a certain extent. But in the __63__ stages of your career you need a definite strategy for reaching your goal, so think about that carefully before deciding to step forward from your first job. You must cultivate __64__ to be competent for any role. You are not sure whether you will get adequate training, and research has shown that if you do not receive proper help in a new role, it can take 18 months to __65__ it.51. A. input B. cause C. guarantee D. preparation52. A. failure B. key C. introduction D. contribution53. A. highlight B. comment C. fluency D. qualification54. A. asked B. refused C. headed D. helped55.

A. know B. prohibit C. master D. selectSection BDirections:Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Any snakebite can be dangerous if infection sets in. Some types of snake poison make the bite area swollen (肿胀的) or painful. Others cause bleeding or damage the heart’s nerves. Here are some especially dangerous snakes:The largest of all poisonous snakes, king cobras can reach 5.5 meters in length. Each king cobra bite contains enough poison to kill an elephant —or 20 people. But these big snakes usually avoid people. They live throughout India, southern China and Southeast Asia.A bite from Australia’s inland taipan, the world’s most poisonous snake, releases enough poison to kill 100 men. The good news is that people rarely come in contact with this snake, and a treatment for its poison exists.Russell’s viper lives throughout Asia, including India, southern China, and on the island of Taiwan. It prefers grassy fields but can be found in forests and urban areas. It bites more people and causes more deaths than any other poisonous snake.Though short, the common Indian krait packs a powerful punch (攻击) in its bite. Most often, it strikes people at night while they are sleeping. Since the bite causes little pain, victims are often not sure that they have been bitten until they begin to experience stomach cramps (痉挛). Without treatment, symptoms will worsen quickly and can lead to death.The black mamba, a native of Africa, is actually olive or grey in color. Only the inside of its mouth is black. When black mambas feel threatened by a human, they make a loud hissing sound to warn the person away. If the warning is ignored, the snake will attack the person repeatedly. And they can attack quickly, moving over the ground at speeds of up to 20 kilometers per hour.66. According to this article, what is a particular feature of the king cobra?A. Its seasonal changes.B. Its lack of movement.C. Its sense of hearing.D. Its remarkable size.67. According to this article, which of the following is known for its speed?A. The inland taipan.B. The black mamba.C. The Indian krait.D. The Russell’s viper.68. What does the article imply about the inland taipan?A. It was once believed to be extinct.B. A chance meeting with it could be fatal.C. Some people keep one as a pet.D. Very little is known about its behavior.69. In which magazine would you most likely find this article?A. Let’s Explore NatureB. Weekly Travel DigestC.

Aquaponics responds to the growing need for sustainable methods of food production by taking two practices, pairing the production of fish and plants together and connecting them through an eco-system to create environmental efficiency; Aquaponics uses only 10 percent of water compared to traditional agriculture and yields 2-3 times the amount of food, without the use of chemicals and pesticides(农药). The U.S. and China use roughly half of all chemical fertilizer in the world for food production. Imagine the possibilities.70.

The hosts will share some real examples of young people over the world.D. You’ll learn about some big and small differences made in some communities.73. “Aquaponics” mentioned in the last workshop probably refers to ____________.A. the introduction of future foodB. a traditional agriculture methodC. an eco-system for food productionD. a test on chemicals and pesticides(C)In a famous lab experiment, a chimp named Sultan put two interlocking sticks together andpulled down a bunch of bananas hanging just out of arm’s reach.Nearly a century later, eager tourists have conducted their own version of the experiment. Equipped with the camera extender known as a selfie(自拍) stick, they can now reach for flattering CinemaScope selfies wherever they go.Art museums have watched this development nervously, fearing damage to their collections or to visitors, as users swing their sticks with abandon. Now they are taking action. One by one, museums across the United States have been imposing bans on using selfie sticks for photographs inside galleries, adding them to existing rules on umbrellas, backpacks, tripods and monopods.“From now on, you will be asked quietly to put it away,” said Sree Sreenivasan, the chief digital officer at the Met. “It’s one thing to take a picture at arm’s length, but when it is three times arm’s length, you are invading someone else’s personal space.”The personal space of other visitors is just one problem. The artwork is another. “We do not want to have to put all the art under glass,” said Deborah Ziska, the chief of public information at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, which has been quietly enforcing a ban on selfie sticks but is in the process of adding it formally to its printed guidelines for visitors.Last but not least is the threat to the camera operators, attentive to capturing the perfect shot and unconscious of the surroundings. “If people are not paying attention in the T emple of Dendur, they can end up in the water with the crocodile sculpture,” Mr. Sreenivasan said. “We have so many balconies you could fall from, and stairs you can trip on.”Generally, the taking of selfies is not merely tolerated, it is encouraged. Art museums long ago concluded that selfies help visitors bond to art and create free advertising for the museum.When Katy Perry dropped by the Art Institute of Chicago’s Magritte exhibition last summer and detoured to take a selfie in front of Grant Wood’s “American Gothic,” the museum gained a publicity boom after the image was posted on Pinterest.So, selfies good; sticks bad. But bad in theory, not fact, since many museum officials in the United States acknowledge that they have experienced few actual instances of selfie-stick use, or, in some cases, none.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWLEVE WORDS)74. How do art museums deal with the increasing use of selfie sticks?75. Besides invading other s’ personal space, what are the other two problems brought by the useof selfie sticks?76. _____________ are the reasons why some art museums encourage the taking of selfies.77. According to many museum officials in the United States, _______ have occurred in art museums.IV.

But with today’s busy schedules most families are 41 to ea t dinner together about four days a week and the numbers 42 as children get older. Yet eating dinner together is so important. It is one of the things that happy families do and here’s 43 : Eating dinner together increases 44 . The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Colombia University found that parents who eat with their children at least five times a week 45 having a better relationship with their children.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have justread.(A)Kim Jones planned a birthday party for her boyfriend Sam Phillips last Thursday night after work. However, the evening turned out differently than either of them had expected. In the late afternoon a huge electricity blackout hit seven northeastern states and three provinces in Canada. Just after four o’clock, a time when millions of people leave their offices and head home, the electricity stopped, so elevators and the subway systems in large cities like New York and T oronto didn’t work. Flights could not land or take off at major airports. As soon as most people found out about the blackout, they put their cell phones to good use and called their families to let them know where they were.Kim works on the 70th floor of a business center in New York. She had just left her office and was trapped in an elevator on the 65th floor. At first she was worried. She called Sam and discovered what had happened. He told her not to give up hope. Then Sam remembered that his friend Joe also worked high in that building. Joe could take care of the situation. About five o’clock, Joe and some other workers figured out that they could get Kim out of the elevator through its roof.Kim still ended up having to walk down to the street at eight o’clock, she found Sam waiting for her. A number of their friends were there too. As for the birthday party, it turned into a picnic by candlelight because the city went without electricity for several days. Sam said he’d never forget it.56.Which service was still available when the electricity stopped?A. Lift.B. Airline.C. The underground.D. Mobile phone.57. Where was Kim when the blackout broke out?A. On the 70th floor.B. On her way to meet Sam.C. In her office on the 65th floor.D. In a business center in Canada.58. Which of the following is true?A. The blackout lasted a whole night.B. Sam’s birthday party became a picnic.C. Kim and Sam work in the same building.D. Kim was rescued by some of her colleagues.(B)When two U.S. astronauts stepped onto the moon on July 20, 1969, their voyage was about exploration and discovery.In the 40 years since, space-related technology has come down to earth. Thousands of everyday products were developed or improved using space technology. Here are some examples: GPSNASA（美国国家航空航天局）can’t take credit for your cell phone iPod. But it did develop smaller, more lightweight computer systems to put on its spacecraft, which helped develop communication systems like the widely used GPS. The GPS allows a device to accuratelylocate a point anywhere in the world. We probably wouldn’t have GPS in cars, without the development of space technology.Freeze-dried foodsA great amount of research into space food was conducted for the Apollo missions. One of the techniques developed was freeze drying. The freeze-dried foods are cooked and quicklyfrozen. The final product keeps 98% of its original nutrition and weighs only 20% of its original weight.Memory FoamAs result of a program designed to improve crash protection for airplane passengers, researchers developed what is now called memory foam（海绵）. Memory foam matches pressure against it and slowly returns to its original form once the pressure is removed. Its high energy absorption and soft characteristics offer protection and comfort. Memory foam has been used in pillows, aircraft, automobiles, sports safety equipment, amusement park rides, and so on. Speedo swimsuits Plenty of sports improvements have ties to work done for space exploration, from lightweight material in certain golf club to protective padding in some sports shoes. U.K.-based Speedo used technology developed by NASA when designing swimsuits to reduce drag in the water. Many of the latest swimming world records were set by swimmers wearing such high-tech swimsuits.59. Memory foam was originally developed to _______.A. protect car drivers in accidentB. improve crash protection for airplane passengersC. reduce violent crashes in some sportsD. improve the quality of pillows60. What does the phrase “take the credit for” mean in paragraph 3?A. make contributions toB. have the responsibility ofC. have one’s trustD. have the honor of61. Which manufactured items don’t use space-related technology?A. BicyclesB. AircraftC. Sports shoesD. Automobiles62. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.A. space-related technology allows more people to do sportsB. space-related technology helps people do better in some sportsC. more people like to do sports because of space-related technologyD. space-related technology has helped to develop new sports(C)Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competitionthat they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others quit from one to another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation.Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope (摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when looking for a job is salary. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them. Having a jobis more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work suiting your interest. Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and eventually make you a bitter person.63. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they _______.A. have ruined their talentsB. have taken on an unsuitable jobC. think of nothing but their salaryD. are not aware of their own potential64. The difficulty for graduates in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in the fact that _______.A. certain fierce competition has to be facedB. many employees have no working experienceC. the young people only care about how much they can earnD. schools fail to offer students proper vocational guidance65. The word “pathetic” in the passage most probably means _______.A. unsatisfactoryB. miserableC. annoyingD. astonishing66. The best title for this passage would be _______.A. What Can A Good Job OfferB. Earning A Good LivingC. Salary Matters Most In Job HuntingD. Suitable Jobs Make SenseSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. What accounts for this culture of generosity?B. This belief is central to the national character.C. How can a sense of generosity be cultivated?D. Americans’ gen erosity is rooted in selfless behavior.E. America’s philanthropic nature is not restricted to the rich.F. The formal practice of philanthropy traces its origin to a Founding Father.Charity—Humanity’s most kind and generous desire—is a timeless and borderless virtue,dating at least to the dawn of religious teaching. Philanthropy（慈善行为）as we understand it today, however, is a distinctly American phenomenon, inseparable from the nation that shaped it. From colonial leaders to modern billionaires like Buffett, Gates and Zuckerberg, the tradition of giving is woven into the national DNA.67. ________ Benjamin Franklin, an icon of individual industry and frugality（节俭）even in his own day, understood that with the privilege of doing well came the price of doing good. When he died in 1790, Franklin thought to future generations, leaving in trust two gifts of 1,000 Ib. of sterling silver—one to the city of Boston, the other to Philadelphia. According to his instruction, a portion of the money could not be used for 200 years.While Franklin’s gifts lay in wait, the tradition he established evolved alongside the young nation. 68. ________ Often far lessfamed men and women have played a critical role in philanthropy’s evolution. One of my personal heroes is Julius Rosenwald, who helped construct more than 5,300 schools across the segregated（种族隔离）South and opened classroom doors to a generation of African-American students.69. ________ The answer is not just to benefit others. Tax reduction, for one, encourages the rich people to give. And philanthropy has long helped improve the public image of everyone from immoral capitalists to the new tech elite. More troubling, however, are the foundational problems that make philanthropy so necessary. Just before his death, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, “Philanthropy is praise-worthy, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthropy necessary.”Franklin’s gifts represent a broader principle. We are guardians of a public trust, even if our capital came from private enterprise, and our most important obligation is ensuring that the system works more equally and more justly for more people.70. ________ America’s greatest strength is not the fact of perfection, but rather the act of perfecting.IV. SummaryDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then write an English summary in no more than 60 words in your own words according to the passage below.HopeNothing in my life had prepared me for what I had to do. Choosing my words carefully, and fighting to stay calm, I told my 4-year-ofd daughter that her grandmother had suffered a stroke(中风), that she was unconscious, and that the doctors said she would probably never wake up. As she moved closer to me,Ameba looked at me, eyes bright, and said, “Maybe Grandma will be okay.” “Maybe she will,” I said, keeping back the tears. But I knew better. I was tying up to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, from our Florida home in the morning to say good-bye to my mom.The rest of that awful week, I joined my brother, and father sitting by my mother’s side in the hospital room. I held her hand and talked to her. I told her that we still needed her. I told her that it wasn’t time to leave yet. I told her how much I loved her. And I told her that her little granddaughter, Amelia, believed that she’d get better. The doctors, with all their years of training and experience, offered no hope for recovery. The damage was simply too extensive.A couple of weeks later, an odd thing happened. Mom woke up! And then she persevered through a long and tough process of restoration to health, during which she had to learn to walk, read, and write all over again, and eventually returned home to Dad. The only one who wasn’t shocked was Amelia. The doctors co uldn’t explain it. Amelia didn’t need to. Hope came as naturally to her as breathing.So why are we so afraid to hope sometimes? Maybe it’s because over the years, life’s disappointments can turn us to disillusionment(理想破灭). How many times have you heard s omeone say: “Hope for the best, expect the worst”? That’s not really hope at all.Hope is being able to look at our world with all of the joy and wonder of a child.第II卷I.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.1. 出席会议的人来自于各行各业。

Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, "That new yellow sweater looks great on you."Oh, Tom, you noticed," she said, surprised and pleased, maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, "Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all the week and now she wants to stay with me." We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today.Last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression." What's the matter?" I asked her."Tom," she said in a voice filled with distress, "do you know something I don't?""What do you mean?"" Well...that checkup (体检) I had several weeks ago...our doctor (i)he tell you something about me?Tom, you've been so good to me...am I dying?"It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing."No, honey," I said, wrapping her in my arms. "You're not dying; I'm just starting to live."76. In the first paragraph, "No ifs, ands or buts" probably means ____.A. UnnecessarilyB. unconditionallyC. impossiblyD. unexpectedly77. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because _____.A. she looked lovely in her new clothesB. she was seriously illC. he was determined to be a good husbandD. he had made a lot of money in Wall Street78.By saying "I'm just starting to live", Tom means that _____.A. he is beginning to feel regretful for what he did to his wifeB. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to changeC. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of lifeD. he is just beginning to enjoy his life as a loving husband(B)As I was thinking about language learning the other day, the image of baking bread came into my mind．I compared some of the exercises and drills that we put ourselves through in order to learn a language to the various ingredients (原料) that go into baking a loaf of fresh bread．Real language learning takes place in human relationships．No one sits down and eats a cup of flour, even if he is hungry and in a hurry．You don' t become bilingual (双语的) by learning lists of vocabulary．You don' tbecome a speaker of a language by memorizing grammatical rules．You become bilingual by entering a community that uses that other language as its basic means of communication．I am not suggesting that we can make bread without ingredients．Flour is necessary, as are yeast (酵母), salt, water and other ingredients．Vocabulary is part of any language and will have to be learned．Grammatical rules exist in every language and cannot be ignored．But merely combining the appropriate ingredients in the recommended proportions does not result in bread．At best, you only end up with a ball of dough (面团)．In order to get bread, you have to apply heat to the dough．And in language learning, that heat comes from the community．Anyone who has learned a second language has experienced that heat．It creeps up your neck when you ask the babysitter “Have you already been eaten?” when you meant to say, ‘‘Have you already eaten?” When you try to sa y something quite innocent and the whole room bursts into laughter, you are experiencing the heat that turns raw dough into good bread．Remember the old saying, “If you can' t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen"．This is where language learning often breaks down because we find the heat uncomfortable and we stop the baking process．In other words, we can' t stand the heat, so we get out of the kitchen．However, the language learner who stays in the kitchen－in the heat－until the combined ingredients are thoroughly transformed will enjoy the richness of a quality loaf of bread. He is glad that he did not "get out of the kitchen” at the important moment when the oven seemed too hot.The dedicated language learner knows that becoming bilingual cannot be achieved without the heat.79.According to the author, you can possibly become a speaker of a language by ________．A．bearing millions of words and expressions in your mindB．using the language to communicate with those around youC．Knowing verb conjugations and grammatical rulesD．saying something innocent to be laughed at by others80.'What’s the purpose of illustration of the example-you ask the babysitter,"Have you already been eaten?"When you meant to say,"Have you already eaten?"?A. To verify that you are sure to make some mistakes when you enter a community.B.To show that you should combine the ingredients in the recommended proportions.C. To prove that you may experience"heat"from the community in language learning.D. To indicate that being bilingual calls for your courage, confidence and perseverance.81.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the necessity of baking bread and learning language?A．Excellent Skills．B．Various ingredients．C．Appropriate proportions．D．Uncomfortable heat．(C)Like most people, I’ve long understood that I’ll be judged by my occupation, that my profession is used by people to see how talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how I’m treated as a person.Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waiting tables. As someone paid to serve food to people, I had customers say and do things to me I suppose they’d never say or do to the people they know. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away,then called me back with his finger a minute later, saying angrily that he was ready to order and asking where I’d been.I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon（勤杂工） by plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior（低等的）treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that one day I’d be sitting at their table, waiting to be served.Once I graduated I took a job at a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard a respectful tone from everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world worked--- politely and formally.I soon found out differently. I sat several feet away from a person in advertising department with a similar name. Our calls would often get mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately clear. Perhaps it was because of money, but people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me.My job title made people treat me with courtesy. So it was a shock to return to be the restaurant industry.It’s no secret that there’s a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and fortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry exists to meet others’ needs. Still, it seemed that many of my customers didn’t get the difference between server and servant.I’m now applying to graduate school, which means someday I’ll return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want. I think I’ll take them to dinner first, and see how they treat someone whose job is to serve them.82.The author was disappointed to find that_____________？A. one’s position is used to measure one’s intelligence.B. Talented people like her should fail to get a respectable jobC. one’s occupation affects the way one is treated as a person.D. professionals tend to look down upon manual workers.83. What does the author intend to say by the example in Paragraph 2？A. Waiting tables is a hard job.B. Some customers are difficult to deal with.C. The man making a phone call is absent-minded.D. Some customers show no respect to those who serve them.84.What does the author imply by saying"... Many of my customers didn’t get the difference between server and servant (Lines 3-4, Para. 7)?A. Those who cater to others' needs are destined to be looked down upon.B. Those working in the service industry shouldn't be heated as servants.C. Those serving others have to put up with rough treatment to earn a living.D. The majority of customers tend to look on a servant as 4. server nowadays.85. The author says one day she’ll take her customers to dinner in order to _______.A. see what kind of person they areB. experience the feeling of being servedC. shoe her generosity towards people inferior to herD.arouse their sympathy for people living a humble life(D)In 1784, five years before he became president of the United States, George Washington, 52, was nearly toothless. So he hired a dentist to transplant nine teeth into his jaw—having extracted them from the mouths of his slaves.That's a far different image from the cherry-tree-chopping George most people remember from their history books. But recently, many historians have begun to focus on the roles slavery played in the lives of the founding generation. They have been spurred in part by DNA evidence madeavailable in 1998, which almost certainly proved Thomas Jefferson had fathered at least one child with his slave Sally Hemings. And only over the past 30 years have scholars examined history from the bottom up. Works of several historians reveal the moral compromises made by the nation's early leaders and the fragile nature of the country's infancy. More significantly, they argue that many of the Founding Fathers knew slavery was wrong—andyet most did little to fight it.More than anything, the historians say, the founders were hampered bythe culture of their time. While Washington and Jefferson privately expressed distaste for slavery, they also understood that it was part ofthe political and economic bedrock of the country they helped to create.For one thing, the South could not afford to part with its slaves. Owning slaves was "like having a large bank account," says Wiencek, authorof An Imperfect God: George Washington, His Slaves, and the Creation of America. 'The southern states would not have signed the Constitutionwithout protections for the "peculiar institution," including a clause that counted a slave as three fifths of a man for purposes of congressional representation.And the statesmen's political lives depended on slavery. The three-fifths formula handed Jefferson his narrow victory in the presidential election of 1800 by inflating the votes of the southern states in the Electoral College. Once in office, Jefferson extended slavery with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803; the new land was carved into 13 states,including three slave states.Still, Jefferson freed Hemings' children—though not Hemings herself or his approximately 150 other slaves. Washington, who had begun to believethat all men were created equal after observing the bravery of the black soldiers during the Revolutionary War, overcame the strong opposition ofhis relatives to grant his slaves their freedom in his will. Only a decade earlier, such an act would have required legislative approval in Virginia.86. In Paragraph 1,George Washington's dental surgery is mentionedto__________A．show the poor medical practice in the past.B．demonstrate the great cruelty of slavery in his days.C．stress the important role of slaves in the entire U.S. history. D．reveal an unknown aspect of his life and introduce the topic87.We may infer from the second paragraph that_____________.A. DNA technology has been widely applied to history research.B. In its early day. s the U. S. was confronted with delicate situations.C. historians deliberately made up some stories of Jefferson's life.D.Political compromises are easily found throughout the U. S. history.88. What do we learn about Thomas Jefferson?A. His political view changed his attitude towards slavery.B. His status as a father made him free the child slaves.C. His attitude towards slavery was complex.D. His affair with a slave ruined his reputation.89.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Some founding fathers benefited politically from slavery.B. Slaves in the old days did not have the right to vote.C. Slave owners usually had large savings accounts.D. Washington decided to free slaves due to moral considerations. Translation1.社会上，年轻人赶时髦，穿时尚衣服是常有的事。

Which is the most depressing? In order to find (25) ________ answers, some experts studied 22,000 people over two months. The data was collected by (26) ___________(send) messages to their mobile phones twice a day, asking them(27)________ they felt, (28)________ they were with, where they were, and what they were doing.According to the study, our moods are at their brightest on Saturday and will continue into Sunday. But as the working week (29)______ (begin) on Monday, it is on Tuesday (30) ______ we reach our (31) ______ (low), with levels of contentment(满足) dropping.“(32)_______ seems that on Monday the weekend has not quite worn off,” said Professor George MacKerron, who led the research. “By Tuesday people are well into the working week and the following weekend is not yet in sight.”(B)Sit up straight. Say please and thank you. Don’t put your elbows on the table. Most of us were drilled from an early age in proper manners and etiquette. But manners and etiquette (33) _______ vary widely in different cultures.Take table manners for example. In many parts of the world, it’s considered rude to make noises when eating.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.People who wear headphones might want to throw them away while walking outside. A study finds that accidents involving walkers 41 the devices have increased three times in recent years.Researchers searched the National Injury Surveillance System, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Google News archives and Westlaw Campus Research, and they found 116 cases of death or injury 42__ walkers with headphones. Cases in which people were using mobile phones (including hands-free devices) were not included.Over the years the number of cases increased, from 16 in 2004 and 2005 to 47 in 2010 and 2011. The victims’ average age was 21, and most (68 %) were male. The 43 ( 67% ) were under the age of 30. Most (55 %) were hit by trains, and 70 percent of the crashes, most of which were in urban areas, were 44 .In 74 percent of the cases, police or eyewitness reports said the walker had headphones on when hit. And 29 percent of reports made mention of horns or warning bells going off before the crash.The study authors pointed to two likely causes that may be a factor in what they call “the possible 45 between headphone use and walker injury”: sensory deprivation（感官剥夺）and 46 . The latter is more 47 called “inattentional blindness,” referring to the use of electronic devices and how they decrease attention to things going on around us.Hearing what’s going on in the environment, they point out, could be more important than 48 clues for walkers. But the authors add that this study doesn’t show cause or relationship of headphone use and walker risk, and other factors could have been involved in the accidents, such as walkers being intoxicated（陶醉）or drivers being at fault.More comprehensive information on such accidents is 49 , the researchers said, to see which groups of people may be most at risk.III. Reading Comprehension (26%)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers have 50 feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common 51 between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over 52 rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the53 . On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for 54 the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different 55 to these problems. However, some approaches are more 56 than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but 57 clean the room for them have fewer chances of changing their children’s58 . On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the 59 of their actions can do better. Forexample, when teenagers who don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to 60 their actions.Experts say that 61 is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parents should 62 to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. Parents may 63 their children when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space. Communication is a two-way process. It is only by listening to and 64 each other that problems between parents and children can be settled.50. A. natural B. strong C. guilty D. similar51. A. interest B. argument C. link D. knowledge52.

A. reply B. attend C. attach D. talk63. A. hate B. scold C. frighten D. stop64. A. loving B. observing C. understanding D. praisingSection BDirections:Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is reared(抚养). If an individual is handicapped environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twinshad identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster(寄养) homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark's I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.65. According to the passage, the average I.Q. is _______.A. 85B. 100C. 110D. 12566. This passage suggests that individual's I.Q. _______.A. can be predicted at birthB. is inherited from his parentsC. stays the same throughout his lifeD. can be increased by education67. This passage can best be titled _______.A. Measuring Your IntelligenceB. Intelligence and EnvironmentC. The Case of Peter and MarkD. The Introduction of the I.Q.

Do you feel nervous when you sit a math exam? For most students, math can be tough but scientists have proved that math problems can actually trigger(引起) physical pain.Scientists came to this conclusion with an in-depth experiment, which was published in the Public Library of Science One journal. They began by finding out how much participants fear math. Those involved were asked a series of questions such as how they feel when they receive a math textbook or when they walk into a math lesson.Based on their answers, participants were divided into groups. One group was made up of people who were particularly afraid of math and participants in the other group were more comfortable with the subject.Both groups were then given either math tasks or word tasks. When a math task was going to come next, a yellow circle would appear but when a word task was soon to come, a blue square would be shown.Using a brain-scan machine, scientists noticed that whenever people from Group One saw a yellow circle, their brain would respond in a way similar to when their body is feeling pain. It was like the pain they would feel, for example, if they burnt their hand on a hot stove. But they reacted less strongly when they knew that they would be faced with a word task.However, scientists saw no strong brain response from people in the second group.Math can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMA), math is associated with tension, apprehension(忧虑) and fear. “When you are really thinking about the math problems, your mind is racing and you are worrying about all the things that could go wrong,” explained Ian Lyons from University of Chicago, US, leader of the study. “The higher aperson’s anxiety of a maths task, the more he activated brain regions associated with threat detection, and the experience of pain.”More interestingly, the brain activity disappeared when participants actually started dealing with the math tasks. “This means that it’s not that math itself hurts; rather, the expectation of math is painful,” Lyons said.Based on the study, scientists suggested that things could be done to help students worry less and move past their fear of math, which might mean they perform better in tests.72. In the first stage, scientists ask participants some questions to _____.A. see whether math hurtsB. find out how much they fear mathC. observe how their brain responseD. test their endurance of pain73. The underlined word “the expectation of math” is closest in meaning to _____.A. the attempt of learning mathB. the motivation to work out math problemC. the effort to understand mathD. the act of thinking about math74. Which is the best title for the passage?A. How to overcome math fear.B. Physical pain affects math performance.C. Math pain in your brain.D. Unknown truth about pain.75. What can be concluded from the experiment?A. The expectation of math has no relation to students’ confidence in math.B. Moderate mathematic anxiety improves students’ academic performance.C. Effective solutions have been worked out to lower students’ anxiety of math.D. Physical pain caused by HMA disappears in the process of doing math problem.IV.

高一年级周练一I. Listening ComprehensionII. Grammar and VocabularySection AThe Good and the Bad of Rain and CloudsThis week we’ll explore some useful expressions about rain and clouds in American English. Some are very common. For example, you may have heard of the expression “raining cats and dogs”. We use it when it (21)_________ (rain) very, very hard. In other words, when it is pouring!Thus, we have another useful expression about he avy rain: “(22)________ it rains, it pours!” This means that when something bad happens, other bad things usually happen at the same time. We often use this saying after someone describes a lot of bad things, one (23)________ the other.If a person is under a cloud, they (24)________ (think) to have done something bad or dishonorable.A person (25)_________ even be under a certain type of cloud. If you are living under a cloud of suspicion(嫌疑), for example, other people believe that you have done something wrong.However, if you add a few extra words to the phrase the meaning changes greatly. If I am living under (26)________ dark cloud, it means I (27)_________ (depress) and sad all the time. We can make this phrase even (28)_________ (descriptive) by say ing “living under the dark cloud of depression” or “living under the dark cloud of poverty.” So, there are different types of dark clouds you can live under.(29)________ even when people are living under a dark cloud, there is hope. There is always hope. And (30)________ brings us to the last expression: Every cloud has a silver lining. A silver lining on a cloud shows that the sun is behind it. This expression means there is always something hopeful in even the most difficult or unhappy situation.Section B(A)31. He walked away without a backward _______.32.

He was eager to ________ his ideas to the group.Wherever we go in summer, mosquitoes seem to follow us. Why do they have an extraordinaryability to __41__ us far away and fly straight at our unprotected skin? According to a team from the Californian Institute of Technology, the blood-sucking insects find us by smelling first.To test their hypothesis(假设), the team conducted a number of experiments with female mosquitoes in a wind tunnel to see which __42__ made the mosquitoes respond best. They __43__ a high concentration(浓度) of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas into the wind to mimic the exhaled (呼出的) breath of people.Then the team placed a dark object on the floor of the wind tunnel. At first, the mosquitoes showed no __44__ in it at all. However, the moment CO2was poured into the tunnel, they changed their behavior quite dramatically and were __45__ to the little object.This suggests to the researchers that female mosquitoes search for food in a rather simple way. They only start paying __46__ when their nose tells them there might be a person nearby. Hence, the mosquitoes don’t need to waste their time __47__ all the visual objects like rocks and plants.The research findings make sense to Matt DeGennaro, a scientist at Florida International University. He is working to create genetic (基因的) changes that __48__ the mosquito’s sense of smell. Matt says, “We can use that knowledge to design a new perfume that could block the mosquito’s __49__ us or could trigger (触发) certain receptors that signal __50__ to the mosquito and cause them to stay away.” One day, people may have a fighting chance against the little biting insect.III. Reading comprehensionSection AWe’ve heard it before –we’ve heard it one the news, from teachers, from parents –children and teenagers today are growing up too fast. There are not too many people that will __51__ with that statement. Teenagers are faced with serious problems and decisions at an early __52__. In fact most teenagers’ daily schedules(日程表) are as __53__ as those of an adult’s.I have been working since I was thirteen, and always in positions in which I was working with adults.I have had to learn to think and __54__ like an adult to be taken seriously. So, I count myself as one who has grown up too fast. I just graduated from high school, and have recently spent some time reflecting(反思)on the __55__ eighteen years--thinking about myself, what I have gained, and what __56__ I have yet to achieve.We are expected to work hard, get excellent __57__, be in a good relationship, and know what we want to do in life. The list goes on and on. But the __58__ is clear: We live in a society today that is __59__ our childhood. We no longer have many years to be careless and fancy--free. We are expected to __60__ the strict school rules and to excelin everything we do.I’ve known these things for a long time, and knew that they __61__ me. But, I never really admitted it until last night, when I learned a __62__ lesson, taught to me by my boss where I work. We had finished a job at a remote(遥远的) site. It was about 11:30 at night, and we had gone back to his house. We were talking about the __63__ he had been making to his home. One of the things he said was “I __64__ my basketball hoop(篮圈).” Then he threw a basketball to me.I hadn’t touched a basketball in five years.We proceeded to shoot hoops for about 5 minutes. Both of us were terribly bad at it, but we spent the whole time __65__ like children. Then I realized something: I am still a child. Oh, the law says I’m an adult. But, we are still really and truly children. We all need to have fun once in a while.51. A. talk B. disagree C. satisfy D. discuss52. A. age B. stage C. year D. grade53.

A. laughing B. shouting C. running D. shootingSection B(A)Before I came to live here, I spent a lot of time at Wuthering Heights. My mother looked after Hindley Earnshaw, Hareton’s father. Hindley and I were the same age. His sister Catherine was eight years younger than us. One day old Mr. Earnshaw went to Liverpool on business. He was away for three days and when he came back he brought a child with him. The child wasn’t very old, about Catherine’s age, but he was dirty and dressed in rags(衣衫褴褛). They called him “Heathcliff”. Not long after that, Mrs. Earnshaw died and the three children were left without a mother.Catherine and Heathcliff became close friends but Hindley always hated him. I must say, I didn’t like him much either. He was a strange child. He never complained or cried when Hindley hit him. Old Mr. Earnshaw was furious(狂怒的) when he discovered that his son was persecuting(迫害) the boy. Heathcliff was definitely his favourite.I often wondered why Mr. Earnshaw admired him. Heathcliff never showed any signs of affection for the old man or any signs of gratitude either. But the old man’s love gave him power over Hindley.As Mr. Earnshaw got older and weaker, he became bad-tempered. Hindley often made him angry by saying nasty things about Heathcliff. Once or twice the old man lifted his stick to hit his son but he was too weak to do it. Then he shook with rage(盛怒). In the end the local curate(助理牧师) advised him to send Hindley away to school. Mr. Earnshaw agreed but he was sad to see his son on leave.“Maybe we’ll have some peace now,” I thought.Catherine was a very pretty girl with thick dark curls(卷发) and dark eyes and a passionate nature. She talked, sang and laughed from the moment she got up to the moment she went to bed. She liked to play the mistress(女主人) of the house, giving Hindley, Heathcliff and me orders. When t he boys didn’t obey her, she hit them. But I never let her hit me. She was very fond of Heathcliff—too fond. The worst punishment we could invent for her was to keep them separate.Then one October evening Mr. Earnshaw died quietly in his chair. Both Catherine and Heathcliff were very upset. They cried and cried. I didn’t have time to comfort them because I had to go to the village to get the doctor. When I came back I went straight to their room. It was after mid-night but they weren’t asleep. They we re comforting each other by describing all the beautiful things in heaven. Tears ran down my face as I listened to them.66. Which of the following statements about Heathcliff is NOT true?A. He was dirty and wearing shabby clothes when first brought to Wuthering Heights.B. He was about eight years younger than Hindley.C. He got angry and fought back when Hindley bullied him.D. He was Mr. Earnshaw’s favorite child and Catherine’s close friend.67. From the story, we can learn that ________.A. Catherine was the mistress of Wuthering Heights who always lost her temper.B. Heathcliff was not a grateful child at that time.C. The most severe penalty for Catherine was to separate her from Heathcliff.D. The author seemed sad to see Hindley sent away to school.(B)Priceless collections spanning (横跨) 11,000 years went up in flames as a massive fire swallowed Brazils National Museum. About 90 percent of the 20 million items may have been destroyed.The fire broke out after the museum had closed on September 2. It began at around 7:30 p.m. local time. Several hours later, firefighters were still working to put out the fire.There were no reports of injuries, but the loss to Brazililan science, history and culture was incalculable(不可估量的). The museum, which turned 200 years old in June, was founded a few years before the country itself. It is the oldest scientific institution in Brazil and has large natural history and anthropology(人类学) collections.The museum was home to Egyptian and Graeco-Roman(受希腊和罗马影响的) artifacts(具有史学价值的手工艺品), and fossils. One of the most famous collections is known as Luzia, the skull and bones of a 25-year-old woman who died more than 11,000 year ago. They are the oldest remains ever discovered in the Americas. The largest meteori te ever found in Brazil is also housed in the museum. “Very little will be left.” said a museum official.Inadequate fire protection systems appear to be key factors behind the tragedy. The museum had no sprinkler system. The two hydrants nearest to the m useum weren’t working, delaying efforts to stop the fire.Luiz Duarte, the museum’s vice-director, said politicians were to blame for failing to support the museum. In recent years, the Brazilian government has spent billions on the Olympics and major construction projects, but has cut spending on culture and education. Researchers working at the museum even had to raise funds to pay for cleaning services.For many years the museum fought with different administrations to get funds. It had just closed a d eal with the Brazilian government’s development bank, for funds that included a fire-prevention project.Angry crowds gathered outside the museum after the fire, calling for President Michel Temer’s resignation. The country has struggled with an economic recession and political instability since 2014. The museum blaze has become a symbol to Brazilians frustrated by their government.68. Which of the following collections did belong to Brazil’s National Museum?A. the oldest remains of human ever found in the worldB. century-long artifacts from Egyptian and Graeco-Roman cultureC. the largest meteorite ever discoveredD. The double-headed serpent69. Which of the following is NOT the reason why the public asked for the President’s resignation?A. Brazil has undergone economic downturn ever since 2014.B. Brazilian government has spent a lot of money to host the Olympics and other world events.C. Brazilian government has been unstable for a couple of years.D. Brazilian people have become disappointed with their government.70. Which one of the following titles suit the passage best?A. The biggest fire ever experienced by BrazilB. Brazil government is to blame.C. What causes the big fire in Brazil?D. Massive fire destroys cultural treasures(C)Mapping Your WorldDifferent forms of maps are appearing. They allow independent travelers to get local knowledge of places they are visiting, from the official to the unusual. Meanwhile, hi-tech developments are creating new ways for us to map the world.Here are two of our favorites:Green MapsGreen Maps allows people to share with the world their knowledge of environmentally friendly places and attractions in the local ers add information with a set of icons (图标) , making it easy to read any map, whatever the nationalities of those who produce it.At present there are over five hundred map projects being developed in 54 countries. Green Maps’advertised idea is “think global, map local”. It is a wonderful way of gaining all sorts of information of a place, ranging from community gardens to goodplaces of birdwatching.Green Maps is not specifically intended for travelers.Not all of its maps are online, so it may be necessary for some users to communicate with the producers through the Green Maps website.Map MashupsMany people use online maps developed by Google, but not many know about the mashups of them.Working in a similar way to Green Maps, Map Mashups allows people to add icons of their own toexisting maps to express a certain topic.The mashups is so called because it combines all the knowledge you could ever need.It ranges from the extremely useful, such as where all the World Heritage Sites are, to the most bizarre (古怪的), such as where America’s drunkest cities are.With the mashups added to the basic Google Maps, a multilayered (多层的) map can be created.71. According to the passage, which of the following is a characteristic of Green Maps?A. Aiming at environmental protection.B. Introducing local attractions with icons.C. Offering advice to independent travelers.D. Collecting icons worldwide for local maps.72. Which of the following icons is most probably NOT used in Green Maps?73. What do Green Maps and Map Mashups have in common?A. They are created by local people.B. They are environmentally friendly.C. Users can edit maps on the Internet.D. Users need to communicate with producers.IV. Translation74. 上周我向Lucy寻求帮助时，她毫不犹豫地答应了。

Her travelled all over the world, taking pictures for magazines and newspapers, and won many prizes.“I’ll do anything to get a good photo,” he often said. “I’ll go anywhere at any time, even if it is dangerous.”And he told the truth. He had photos of earthquakes, forest fires, floods and even wars.If something ineresting happened, Denny went to photograph it.He was a married man and his wife often asked him take her with him, but he always refused. “I’ll travel for my work, not for pleasure,” he told her. “You won’t have fun, and I won’t have time to look after you. Sometimes there’s not even anywhere to stay, and I have to sleep outside. I often don’t have a good meal or a bath for days. You won’t like it.”“Denny, I am not a child,” his wife didn’t agree. “I can look after myself. Please take me with you the next time you go overseas.”Denny didn’t say anything, but he thought about it, and when he was asked to go to Africa, he said to his wife, “You can come to Africa with me if you want to. I have got to take photos of wild animals there.It shoud be interesting and not too uncomfortable.”His wife was very excited, and at first she had a very enjoyable time. Then Denney went to the forest to find some lions to photo. His wife went with him, but before long they became separated.She walked down one path while he walked down the other.Suddenly, Denny heard her crying. He ran back and saw her running towards him. A huge lion was chasing her. Quickly Denny took his camera out of its case and pointed it at his wife and the lion. Then he shouted, “Slowd ow n, w o man!

It seems like a crazy idea from a horror movie. But it could happen in the near future.Canadian biophysicist Andrew Pelling used an apple to grow a human ear. He think fruit and vegetables can be used to cheaply repair human body parts in the future.Scientists have been trying to grow organs (器官) in labs to replace our old ones. But it is a hard job. For example, liver cells (肝细胞) can grow in a lab, but he cells still need things like blood vessels (血管) to actually work.These things have to grow inside a scaffold(支架).In the past, scientists have used man-made materials, animals parts and even dead people as scaffolds. But that has proved to be difficult and expensive.Pelling and his team, however, f ound the apple to be a cheap and easy-to-use scaffold.They first cut an apple into the shape of an ear. Then they used a special way to take out the apple’s cell andmake it a scaffold. The team then added human cells to the apple, and watched it grow.“You can implant these scaffolds into the body, and the body will send in cells and a blood supply and actually keep these things alive,” Pelling said during a Ted Talk speech.The team put the apple scaffold inside a living mouse and the mouse’s cells slowly took over the pieces of apple.Now Pelling is thinking of other fruit, plants or vegetables to use.He says that the shape of flower petals could be perfect for repairing skin. And asparagus(芦笋) could fix a broken spine(脊柱).Now, Pelling and his team are trying hard to put these crazy ideas into reality.48.Pelling’s idea of man-made ear seems crazy because he use as scaffolds.A.animal partsB.dead peopleC.man-made materialsD.ordinary apples49.The underlined word “implant” in Paragraph 7 probably means .A.pickB. putC. produceD. protect50.Which is the right order of making an ear out of an apple according to the passage?a.put the apple scaffold inside a mouseb.add human cells to the apple scaffoldc.cut an apple into the shape of an eard.make the apple ear a scaffolde.take out the apple’s cells in a special wayA.a-b-c-d-eB.b-c-d-a-eC.c-e-d-b-aD.c-d-a-e-b51.From the last three paragraphs, we can infer that Pelling will experiment with other fruit, plants or vegetbales.A.to make human earsB. to repair burnt skinC. to fix a broken spineD. to make human body partsEWe moved away from my grandmother when I was eight years old. I missed her a lot. I was her favorite granddaughter and she was my favorite grandma.Two years later my mother and father separated and soon divorced. I felt as if my world was falling apart. I lived with my mother for a time, next door to my grandma and grandpa in an apartment while my father was away during World War Ⅱ.Grandma never had much in the way of money or material things. But it was the little things she gave me that let me feel warm, like letting me dip my fingers in the sugar bowl, letting me sip the coffee from her cup or allowing me to sit on the table as I had meals.Though she didn’t have much, she did something for my brother and me. I will always remember she saved her coins in a glass jar. I thought my grandma could have used these coins herself, but she saved them to give us when we came to visit her.I don’t remember how much we collected on our visits, nor was the amount(数目)important. It was the idea that she remembered us, and cared about us when we were away from her.52.What happened to the writer when she was eight years old?A.She moved away from her grandma.B.

Just after four o’clock, a time when millions of people leave their offices and head home, the electricity stopped, so elevators and the subway systems in large cities like New York and Toronto didn’t work. Flights could not land or take off at major airports. As soon as most people found out about the blackout, they put their cell phones to good use and called their families to let them know where they were.Kim works on the 70th floor of a business center in New York.

Then Sam remembered that his friend Joe also worked high in that building. Joe could take care of the situation. About five o’clock, Joe and some other workers figured out that they could get Kim out of the elevator through its roof.Kim still ended up having to walk down to the street at eight o’clock, she found Sam waiting for her.

Now, she is much healthier and more in control of her eating. “Staying with the plan consistently is key,” she sa ys. “With dedication and perseverance, every temptation does not become a war.Conquering SnacksSnacking was getting Michael Krauss in trouble. “I’d open a bag of chips and just start in on them without even thinking about what they tasted like,” he said. “I never even took time to think about whether I was hungry.”On ChangeOne, he spent two weeks getting snacks under control. Once he did, he started to see results on the scale right away: After four weeks, he was down 13 pounds.Feeling Good About HerselfFrustrated with her inability to lose weight and keep it off, Gail Davis wanted to try a weight-loss program. “I never had any faith in gimmicks (骗人的玩意儿) or fads,” she says.

The passage most probably is ___________.A. a research reportB. an official documentC. an advertisementD. anews story(C)Even facts "forgotten" by people during a busy day may be retrieved if this is followed by a good night's sleep.Researchers from the University of Chicago asked volunteers to remember simple words. Many found their memories letting them down towards the end of the day, but the following morning, those who had slept well could recall much more. Researchers, writing in the journal Nature, said the brain could "rescue" lost memories during the night.When the brain is first asked to remember something, that memory is laid down in an "unstable" state, meaning that it is possible that it could be lost. At some point, the brain consolidates important things into a "stable", more permanent state. However, the Chicago researchers suggested that it was possible for a "stable" memory to be made "unstable" again. This would mean that memories could be modified then filed away again in the face of new experiences.The 12 volunteers tested in the experiment were played words created through a speech synthesizer（合成器）which were purposely difficult to understand. Initially, the written version of the word was available, but afterwards the volunteers were asked to identify the word from the audio version only. Tests revealed that the ability to recall the right word tended to tail off as the day ended. However, when the volunteers were retested after a good night's sleep, they were able to recall some words that they had "forgotten" the previous evening.Dr Daniel, one of the study authors, said: "Sleep consolidates memories, protecting them against subsequent interference or decay.”He added: "Sleep also appears to 'recover' or restore memories. If performance is reduced by decay, sleep might actively recover what has been lost."Dr Karim Nader, from the Department of Psychology in McGill University in Montreal, said: "Memory research is undergoing a transformation - no longer is memory thought to be a hard-wiring of the brain, instead it seems to be a process of storage and re-storage. Sleep helps some memories 'mature' and also prunes out unimportant memories."72. The underlined words “prunes out” in the last paragraph means _____.A. recordsB. deletesC. rescuesD. keeps73. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The audio version seems to be more helpful than the written version.B. Interference and decay may affect one’s memory.C. The ability to recall the right word was greatly improved as the day ended.D. The volunteers who had a good night’s sleep were able to recall some “forgotten”words.74. Which of the following statements is FALSE?A. Words consolidated into a stable state will never be forgotten.B. Memory is an active process rather than an unchanged state.C. Memory used to be considered as a hard-wiring of the brain.D. A good sleep helps the brain to rescue the lost memory.75. What’s the best title for the passage?A. How the Brain Works.B. Sleep Helps Memory.C. Research Transformation.D. Lost and Found.IV. Phrases: (5%)Directions: Choose one of the words or expressions from the box to complete each sentence in the proper forms.
