Red Nose DayRed Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for Comic Relief. This is a charity that helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by Richard Curtis. He wrote the famous films “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Notting Hill”. Richard started Comic Relief in response to the severe famine in Ethiopia. It’s called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring. It is now so well established that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday.The slogan for the last RND was “Do Something Funny for Money.” The money that was collected was used to help fund projects in such areas as education and mental health. Money-raising events take place on this day all over the country and many schools participate. People also donate money by post, inbanks, by phone using a credit card and online.In the evening of Red Nose Day a telethon takes place on the BBC TV channels. This is like a television marathon (马拉松)that shows some of theevents of the day and reports how the money raised will be spent. People also upload videos of local charity events onto the Internet.So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day，you will know why you find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things!

The Stranger Who Changed My LifeIt was a sunny morning in the spring of 1966. I was driving a taxi，looking for a customer. While passing New York Hospital，l found a man running down the hospital steps，waving at me.I stopped. The man reached the taxi and jumped in. “ The Airport，please，“ he said. As always，I wondered about my passenger. Was this man a talker? After a few moments，he started saying，“How do you like driving a taxi?”‘s i t’ s OK，”I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes.”“ What do you do?” I asked.“I am a doctor at New York Hospital. ”Many times during long rides，l’d developed a good relationship with my passengers and received very good advice from them. This time I decided to ask for his help，”Could I ask a favor of you?”He didn't answer. “I have a son，15，a good kid. He wants a job this summer. is it possible that you get one for him?”He still wasn't talking, and I was starting to feel foolish. Finally, he said, “ Well, my students have a summer research project. Maybe he could join in. Have him send me his school record. ”He left his address and paid me. It was the last time I ever saw him.Robbie sent off his grades the next morning. And gradually this incident was forgotten. Two weeks later, when I arrived home from work, Robbie handed me a letter. He was informed to call Dr. Plum for an interview.Robbie got the job. The following summer, Robbie worked at the hospital again, but this time, he was given more responsibility. Then, he worked at the hospital for a third summer and gradually developed a love of medical profession.Near graduating from college, Robbie applied to and was admitted to New York Medical College.

It can be risky for parents to raise the issue of eating habits and weight with their kids.“No kid ever lost weight because his mother told him he was fat,” a friend told me when I was worried about my son’s weight.It turns out she was right, according to a new study. The study was directed by Dr. Berge at University of Minnesota. She found that kids whose parents discussed eating in a healthy way were les. s likely to have eating problems. But 64% of the kids whose parents focused on their weight turned to unhealthy eating behaviors. Some kids went on extreme diets, and others even ate no food. So eating disorders were caused. Things were worse when fathers joined in the discussions with their daughters and focused on weight. “Fathers should never comment on their daughters’weight,” says Berge.Instead, she suggests, fathers should focus on their daughters' interests. That can help them feel loved and confident enough to work on their weight issues.How should parents talk to kids about. eating behaviors? According to Berge, they should avoid focusing on how much their kids weigh. They should talk to them about being healthy. Don't compare them with others. Ideally, both parents should share the responsibility. If that' s not possible, choose the parent whose words cause the least amount of stress and who demonstrates healthy eating.11. The writer' s friend advised her not to .A. worrv about her son's weightB. take the risk of gaining weightC. change her own eating habitsD. talk to her son about his weight12.

When told about their fatness, some kids _____________.A. felt helplessB. became angryC. began to eat no foodD. refused to take any advice14. If a father focuses on his daughter' s interests, she will feel ____________.A. amusedB. encouragedC. surprisedD. challenged15. When taking to their kids about eating behaviors, parents should ______________.A. focus on being healthyB. use short and simple wordsC. respect their kids' viewsD. compare their kids with others第三部分：概括段落大意和补全句子（第16～25题，每题1分，共10分）阅读下面短文，请完成短文后的2项测试任务：(1)从第16—20题后所给的6个选项中为第①~⑤段每段选择1个正确的小标题；(2)从第21~ 25题后所给的6个选项中选择5个正确选项，分别完成每个句子，并将所选答案的代码（指A、B、C、D、E或F）填在答题纸的相应位.Plagiarism（剽窃）①You just found some good .stuff on the Web for your science report. You copy a paragraph and paste it into your report. Then you continue your research. But you just made a big mistake. You committed plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you use someone else' s words or ideas and pretend that they are yours. It' s not allowed in school, college, or beyond.②The word" plagiarism" comes from Latin. It means stealing a person' s ideas. But it' s not always easy to tell what is plagiarism and what is not. Sometimes, it's accidental. You really intended to do your own work, yet ended up with some sentences that sound just like something you’ve read.③Though plagiarism can be accidental, it's sometimes done on purpose. That' s just being lazy. By copying whole paragraphs from different places, you don't have to spend the time thinking about the subject, gathering your own thoughts about it, and then putting them into original words. Cut, paste, and you’re done.④Most schools are pretty strict about plagiarism, If you’re caught, your graduation will be delayed or worse. At the very least, you’re probably going to fail the assignment. When you’re older and in college, some schools will kick out students who plag iarize. When you’re kicked out of one college, it can be hard to get into another.⑤To be on the safe side, always make it clear where the information comes from. You need to write references. That’s a list of the sources you used for a project or report. To do that, you’re need to know the author, the title, and the date it was published. If you write something really great, maybe some day someone will quote you in a report.Task 116. Paragraph①:17. Paragraph②:1 8. Paragraph③:19. Paragraph④:20. Paragraph⑤:Task 221. You commit plagiarism when you ________22. Sometimes it is hard to tell whether_________23. Copying whole paragraphs can ____________.24. Once caught for plagiarism,_______________25. If you publish something great, people may____.第四部分：填句补文（第26～30题，每题2分，共10分）下面的短文有5处空白，短文后有6个句子，其中5个取自短文，请根据短文内容将其分别放回原有位置，以恢复文章原貌，并将所选答案的代码（指A、B、C、D、E或F）填在答题纸的相应位置上。

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best answer or the best choice to complete the statement and write the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.(40 points, 2 points each)Passage 1When you’re negotiating with someone, listen for the messages that he or she might be sending to you. For example, the word “difficult”does not mean the same as impossible. Imagine you’re staying in a hotel, and you want to change your room. The manager’s answer of,“That would be very difficult, sir”,does not mean that he is saying “no.”It just means that he wants to know what you are prepared to offer him in return for the change of room.If you are buying a new car, and want to pay less than the price being asked, then the salesman’s comment, “I’m sorry, but we never negotiate on the price”, means that they do negotiate on other things, like the delivery time, or the “extra”that might be available as part of the purchase. In the same car showroom, if the salesman says, “Sorry, I can’t negotiate prices”, then your response should be to ask who can. The message the salesman is sending suggests that his boss is the one you need to be talking to.In all of these situations, the message is never communicated in clear terms. In any negotiation, the two “players”wish to get as much out of it as they can, of course. In the three examples above, the salesmen and the hotel manager are hoping that you will accept their price or conditions —but their “messages”make it clear that there may be room for movement and compromise. In a successful negotiation, the two sides move towards each other and reach agreement on conditions that satisfy both sides.21.The hotel manager’s answer “That would be very difficult, sir”implies .A．you can change the room if you find some excuseB．someone else has paid more for the room under discussionC．the room is available if an extra sum of money is offeredD．someone else has booked the room in return for more money22.When the salesmen tell you that they never negotiate on the price, you can . A．negotiate the price with the managerB．demand to see the one who canC．find out other possibilities in the purchaseD．accept the price without any further negotiation23.This passage is intended for .A．managers B．customers4C．salesmen D．scholars24.The passage tells us how to .A．send massages in a negotiationB．become a successful salesmanC．profit from business transactionsD．receive messages in a negotiation25.It can be safely concluded from the passage that .A．at least two players should be in the room for communicationB．a lot can be inferred from what is actually stated in a negotiationC．you should never communicate your ideas in clear termsD．you should play the roles of a salesman and manager in a negotiationPassage 2Following football hero O.J.Simpson’s arrest in June 1994 for the murder of his ex-wife and one of her friends, Newsweek and Time magazines ran the same police mug shot of Simpson on their covers. Newweek’s version was a straight reproduction. Time electronically manipulated the photo to darken it and achieve a gloomy and threatening look that emphasized Simpson’s unshaven cheeks and African-American skin color. The alteration offended many readers and raised an increasingly familiar question: In an age of computer-controlled images, can anyone still trust a photograph?Altering a digitized image(数码技术相片), as Time did for its cover, has been one of the fastest-growing, most far-reaching, and most controversial(有争议的) techniques in contemporary photography. With this method a photograph is scanned(扫描), digitized (converted into a set of numeric values), and entered into a computer from which the operator can control the image almost in any way imaginable: add, delete, or change the position of visual elements; modify tones and colors; create montages; combine photographs; and even create entirely imaginary scenes. The digitized image can be stored in a data base, output as a print(底片) or transparency(透明胶片), or converted for video-screen display.Electronic image manipulation arrived in force in the 1980s with a new type of computers that cost on the order of $500,000 or more and occupied and entire room. More compact and far less expensive desktop systems soon appeared, capable of, at least, limited image control and available at chain-store prices.The ever-rising flood of digitized visual information may not, as some critics fear, fatally destroy the certainty of photographic evidence. Yet many observers agree that both suppliers and consumers of photographic information must exercise greater care than before to tell fact from falsehood in the images they use.526.Which of the following magazines was accused of distorting the murderer’s photograph by many readers?A．Time. B．Newsweek.C．Washington Post. D．Not mentioned in the passage27.Nowadays, electronic image alterations are .A．unbearably expensiveB．more expensive in the StatesC．only available in chain storesD．far less expensive than before28.The digitized alteration technique is .A．developing with great careB．very capable and developing rapidlyC．strongly criticized due to its easy accessD．fatal in destroying the certainty of photographic evidence29.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A．With digitized alteration techniques, a photograph may be scanned, digitized and altered. B．With digitized alteration techniques, the digitized images can be stored in a data base or transformed for video-screen display.C．With digitized alteration techniques, both suppliers and consumers of photographic information are able to tell fact from falsehood in the image they use.D．With digitized alteration techniques, it is possible for the computer operators to control the image almost in any conceivable way.30.W hat is the author’s attitude toward the technique of digitized image manipulation? A．Critical. B．Objective.C．Indifferent. D．Supportive.Passage 3The importance of symbols as a source of cultural diversity can be seen in the dress codes and hairstyles of different societies. In most situations, the symbolism of clothing and hairstyles communicates different messages ranging from political beliefs to identification with specific ethnic or religious groups. The tartan(格子呢) of a Scottish clan, the black leather jacket and long hair of a motorcycle gang member in the United States, and the veil of an Islamic woman in Saudi Arabia provide a symbolic vocabulary that creates cultural diversity.Many examples of clothing styles could be used to illustrate how symbols are used to produce cultural diversity. Consider, for instance, changing dress codes in the United States. During the 1960s, many young people wore jeans, sandals, and beads to symbolize their rebellion against6what they conceived as the conformist inclinations of American society. By the 1980s, many of the same people were wearing “power suits”as they sought to advance up the corporate ladder.An example of how hairstyles can create meaningful symbolic codes can be seen in a group known as the Rastafarians(sometimes known as Rastas or Rastaman) of Jamaica. The majority of the people of Jamaica are of African descent. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, they were brought to Jamaica by European slave traders to work on plantations. The Rastafarians are a specific religious group within Jamaica who believe that Haile Selassie(1892-1975), the former emperor of Ethiopia, whose original name was Ras Tafari, was the black Messiah who appeared in the flesh for the redemption of all blacks exiled in the world of white oppression. Rastafarian religion fuses Old Testament teachings, Christian mysticism, and Afro-Jamaican religious beliefs. The Rastafarian movement originated as a consequence of harsh economic, political, and living conditions in the slums of Jamaica.In the 1950s, during the early phase of the Rastafarian movement, some male members began to grow their hair in “locks”or “dreadlocks”to symbolize their religious and political commitments. This hairstyle became well known in Western society through reggae(强节奏黑人音乐) music and Rasta musicians such as the late Bob Marley. Rastafarians derive the symbolism of the dreadlock hairstyle of the Rastafarians from the Bible. They view the unshaven man as the natural man and invoke Samson as one of the most important figures in the Bible. Dreadlocks also reflect a dominant symbol within the Rastafarian movement, the lion, which is associated with Haile Selassie, one of whose titles was the “Conquering Lion of Judah(犹大).”To simulate the spirit of the lion, some Rastas do not cut their hair, sometimes growing their locks 20 inches or more.Thus, to a great extent, culture consists of a network of symbolic codes that enhance values, beliefs, worldviews, and ideologies within a society, Humans go to a great length to create symbols that provide meaning for individuals and groups. These symbolic meanings are a powerful source of cultural diversity.31.What is the main idea of this selection?A．Hairstyles and dress codes identify political beliefs in diverse societies.B．The Rastafarian movement symbolized a religious and political commitment.C．Symbols provide meaning and a satisfaction of biological needs in society.D．Hairstyles and dress codes can be important symbols of cultural diversity in different societies.32.The author uses the examples of the Scottish tartan, the motorcycle jacket, and the Islamic veilto show .A．the political power of dress codes in different societies7B．the diversity of clothing styles throughout the worldC．dress codes that symbolize different ethnic and religious groupsD．the resistance to change of culturally different groups33.The author suggests that the young people wearing jeans in the 1960s wore “power suits”inthe 1980s because .A．styles changed B．the American government changedC．their attitudes and goals changed D．both outfits symbolized rebellion34.All of the following are true of the Rastafarians EXCEPT .A．they believe that Emperor Haile Selassie was the black MessiahB．they are the original natives of JamaicaC．they are a religious group with political commitmentsD．they formed as a result of harsh living conditions in Jamaica35.The Rastafarian movement began .A．at the beginning of the nineteenth centuryB．around the middle of the twentieth centuryC．before European slave traders arrivedD．in the early eighteenth centuryPassage 4A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive, sadistic(虐待狂的) impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seem to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are , I think, well-authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do8not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girlfriend.No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child has ever believed that it was.36.The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is .A．repeated without variation B．treated with respectC．adapted by the parent D．set in the present37.Fairy stories are a means by which children’s impulses may be .A．beneficially channeled B．given a destructive tendencyC．held back until maturity D．effectively suppressed38.According to the passage great fear can be stimulated in a child when the story is . A．in a realistic setting B．heard for the first timeC．repeated too often D．dramatically told39.The advantage claimed for repeating a fairy story to young children is that it . A．makes them come to terms with their fearsB．develops their power of memoryC．convinces them there is nothing to be afraid ofD．encourages them not to have ridiculous beliefs40.The author’s mentioning of broomsticks and telephones is meant to suggest that . A．fairy stories are still being made upB．there might be confusion about different kinds of truthC．people try to modernize old fairy storiesD．there is more concern for children’s fears nowadaysIII.SKIMMING AND SCANNINGIn this part there are 3 reading passages followed by 10 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 answers marked A,B,C and D. Skim or scan the passages, then decide on the best answer or the best choice to complete the statement and write the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.(10 points,1 point each)Passage 1When we call someone a pig or a swine, we do not mean it as a compliment. But pigs do not deserve to be used as a symbol for an insult. They are probably not as dirty as they are made out to be. According to one pig keeper, swine are very clean when allowed to live in a clean environment. He feels pigs are usually dirty simply because their keepers don’t clean their pens. In any case, no one has proven that the pig that wallows in mud prefers that to a cool bath. Furthermore, pigs are smarter than most wallows in mud prefers that to a cool bath. Furthermore, pigs are smarter than9most people think. Many farmers, for example, have observed that pigs frequently undo complicated bolts on gates in search of adventure or romance. So the next time you call someone a pig, perhaps he or she ought to be someone you wish to praise.41.This passage deals with .A．the reasons why pigs are dirtyB．people’s wrong perceptions of pigsC．how to insult or compliment peopleD．why people like to keep pigs42.One pig keeper feels that pigs will stay clean if they are .A．given cool baths every dayB．praised from time to timeC．kept in a clean environmentD．allowed to seek adventure or romance43.The detail that pigs “can undo complicated bolts on gates”supports the opinion that . A．pigs sometimes can be adventurousB．pigs are generally misunderstood by peopleC．pigs are also mischievous and romanticD．pigs are smarter than most people thinkPassage 2The large, gleaming refrigerator is the focal point of most American kitchens. It holds enough food to last many days. It is cold enough to preserve that food well. Its advantages are clear. But that big refrigerator has its drawbacks as well, although they are not usually recognized. First of all, the large refrigerator encourages the hoarding of food, obesity and other eating problems. Also, it has destroyed the pleasant custom, still common in Europe, of going to market each day. Picking out one’s fresh produce daily while cha tting with friends and neighbors is no longer a part of our lives. In addition, people’s desire to buy huge amounts of groceries just a few times a month has encouraged the growth of supermarkets and destroyed local grocery stores. Another victim of the gi ant refrigerator has been small local farmers, who can’t compete against the mega-producers favored by the supermarkets.44.According to the passage, which of the following is regarded by the author as one of the victims of the “giant refrigerator”?A．The supermarkets. B．The local grocery stores.C．The American kitchens D．The mega-producers45.From this passage, you could infer that many Europeans .A．are more economical shoppers than AmericansB．are better cooksC．enjoy eating moreD．don’t h ave “giant”refrigerators1046.The author’s tone in this passage is mainly .A．cheerful B．depressingC．critical D．optimistic47.The passage mainly deals with .A．the advantages of shopping patterns in EuropeB．disadvantages and advantages of large refrigeratorsC．fresh, healthy produce and daily meeting with friendsD．wonderful modern kitchen appliancesPassage 3Urbanization and industrialization demanded new directions in education. Public education, once a dream, now becomes a reality. Education was forced to meet new social changes. American society was getting much more complex; literacy became more essential. Secondary education, which had been almost totally in the hands of private individuals up to the time of the Civil War, gradually became a public concern. By the early 1900s there were over 7000 high schools, totaling an enrollment of over 1 million. Technological changes demand more vocational training. Subjects such as bookkeeping, typing, agriculture, woodworking, and metalworking were introduced into the curriculum. American education finally was becoming universal.Higher education also responded to the need for more and different education. The Morril Act of 1862 established state land grant colleges that taught agricultural methods and vocational subjects. While curriculums included a large number of required courses during the first two years of college, more elective subjects were added during the last two years. In 1876 Hopkins University instituted America’s first gradu ate school for advanced study. In general, American education began to respond to the complexities of the industrial age and the need for a new focus in education.48.One factor, repeatedly emphasized in the passage, is that .A．technological changes demanded more vocational trainingB．teaching methods were also changingC．higher education also responded to the need for more different educationD．education was forced to meet new social changes49.Literacy became more essential because .A．American public education was far from enoughB．American society was growing more complexC．the public was concerned about secondary educationD．far fewer subjects were introduced into the school curriculum50.In the last paragraph of the passage, the word “instituted”means .A．set up B．provided11C．set forth D．preparedPART TWO (30 POINTS)IV.WORD FORMATIONSComplete each of the following sentences with the proper form of the word given in the brackets. Write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(10 points, 1 point each)51.(title) Being a member you to discounts on tickets.52.(essence) She has added a few characters and changed some names but this is atrue story.53.(advantage) She argued that social , such as lacking a good living condition or agood standard of education, are major causes of crime.54.(effect) She is not officially our boss, but she is in control of the office.55.(courage) It was of the young man to challenge the professor as to the potentialgenetic therapies.56.(supervise) Most health services are provided free of charge for low-income groups and atmoderate charges for others, through local and national agencies, under theof the Department of Health.57.(employ) Four out of five U.S.corporations with more than 500 now offereducational opportunities to workers, and many professional associations haveeducational programs for their members.58.(wide) The range of university courses available has tremendously in recentyears.59.(consider) The nature of Canadian households has changed over the pastquarter-century.60.(afford) Radio exposed a wider audience to country music while new, relativelyinexpensive recording technology made records available at prices.

The Power of Perseverance in OvercomingChallengesIn the journey of life, we are constantly faced with various challenges that test our resolve and perseverance. The April 2020 Self-study English Exam II essay topic, "The Importance of Perseverance in Overcoming Difficulties," serves as a timely reminder of the significant role perseverance plays in our ability to overcome these challenges.Perseverance is the steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. It is a quality that is honed through dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment to a goal. In the context of overcoming difficulties, perseverance becomes a critical factor in turning obstacles into stepping stones to success. Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, and it is only through perseverance that we can navigate our way through them. Whether it's a challenging academic task, a personal struggle, or a professional obstacle, perseverance is what keeps us going when the going gets tough. It is the driving force that propels us forward, reminding us thatevery effort, no matter how small, contributes to thelarger goal of overcoming the difficulty.Moreover, perseverance instills in us a sense ofpurpose and direction. When we persevere, we are morelikely to stay focused on our goals, ignoring distractions and staying committed to the task at hand. This focus helps us to stay motivated and engaged, ensuring that we don't give up easily when faced with setbacks or failures.Additionally, perseverance is a great teacher. It teaches us the value of patience, determination, and resilience. Through perseverance, we learn to view failures as temporary setbacks rather than permanent roadblocks. We learn to pick ourselves up when we fall, dust ourselves off, and try again. This process not only helps us to overcome the immediate difficulty but also builds our character and strengthens our resolve.However, perseverance does not mean stubbornly sticking to one path regardless of the obstacles. It also involves adapting to changes, learning from our mistakes, andfinding new ways to approach problems. This flexibilitycombined with determination is what makes perseverancetruly powerful.In conclusion, the importance of perseverance in overcoming difficulties cannot be overstated. It is the key to turning challenges into opportunities for growth and success. As we face the challenges of life, let us remember that with perseverance, there is no limit to what we can achieve.**坚持不懈克服挑战的力量**在人生的旅途中，我们不断面临各种挑战，考验着我们的决心和毅力。
