We were busily chatting about how we spent our 37 when, THUMP! Ryan 38 over someone‘s foot and landed flat on his face in the passage between the two rows of seats.Everyone on the bus laughed crazily. Ryan 39 himself up and made his way to an empty seat. He tried to laugh with us, but his face was bright red with 40 . The rest of the morning flew by. I did well in my math test. I read two more chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird in English class. It wasn‘t long before the 41 bell sounded. I met my friends from the cheerleading team in the dining hall. The n I couldn‘t help but 42 Ryan a few tables over, sitting alone. He caught me looking. I smiled at him quickly and turned away.When we finished eating, we 43 out to the courtyard to practice a cheer we wanted to do at that night‘s football game.

Of course, you want to hold on to it so you make sure it has the latest alarm and immobilizer(汽车防盗器). But despite all these, cars like yours are still stolen every day. In fact, in this country, one car is stolen almost every minute! And if your car is stolen, you only have a 50:50 chance of seeing it again.Each year, car crime costs nearly £3 billion. Of course, if you‘re insured, you won‘t lose out, or will you? Firstly, you will have to pay extra insurance later on, and then you may not be offered the full amount by the agent. You will probably have to hire a car and you will also lose the value of the contents and accessories(配件) in the car.Now comes the solution. An RAC Trackstar system, hidden in one of 47 possible secret locations(位置) in your car, is the key of our system. If your car is stolen, radio signals are sent at twenty-second intervals from the car to the RAC Trackstar National Control Center via a satellite network. Then a computer gives the vehicle‘s exact location, speed and direction.The RAC Trackstar National Control Center, which operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, will immediately inform the police in the area where the car is located. Because the police receive information every twenty seconds, they will always know the vehi cle‘s location. Once the thief has been arrested, your car will be returned to you.RAC Trackstar is unique in being able to provide the National Control Center with details of the exact location of your car, its speed and direction. And speed is the key to successful recovery of a stolen vehicle. RAC Trackstar Control will immediately tell the police if you report your car stolen and under the 24-hour Guardian Option. It will also tell you if your car has been stolen. RAC Trackstar‘s constant updates mean the police are kept informed of the car‘s location. All these greatly improve your chances of seeing your car again.56. If your car is stolen, you will have to _____.A. hire a new carB. pay more insuranceC. buy a RAC Trackstar systemD. inform the National Control Center57. The Trackstar system can tell the police _____.A. where the car isB. how the car is stolenC. who the thief isD. what brand the car is58. The underlined word ―It‖ in the last paragraph refers to ______.A. the local police stationB. the Guardian OptionC. the insurance companyD. the RAC Trackstar Control59. According to the passage, people with RAC Trackstar ______.A. are more likely to get the stolen cars backB. have less chance of being in an accidentC. seldom get their vehicles damagedD. automatically find directions56．B 57．A 58．D 59．ABHunger is the greatest motive for the inexperienced cook. But many people are now worried that we are producing a generation without the slightest idea of how to cook—a generation that is frightened to cook. I have just received a handout from Focus on Food, which is running a competition to get children back into the kitchen. Has television cooking become a replacement for the real thing? Is this an age where famous professional cooks have turned cooking into a sort of show, with dishes far too difficult for the beginner to copy?I decided to ask my oldest daughter, Miranda, for her opinion. Are children learning enough about the importance of good cooking? Do they know cooking is a basic life skill? Sociology and other ―new‖ subjects are all very well, but without the ability to cook, or to understand the pleasure and principles of good food and its relationship to good health, are we really preparing them for adult life?Miranda started her cooking at the age of nine, when she decided to enter the Sainsbury‘s Future Cook competition. She was motivated by a different kind of greed: the first prize—a trip to Disney World.The problem, from the parental point of view, was that if she made it through to the regional(区域性的) finals, she would have to cook her meal in front of the judges. Some 30,000 children entered and she made it through as the youngest regional finalist. Now she had to learn to cook. Her hands were not even big enough to hold the knife and slice the onions. Six Saturdays running we ate the same lunch—Mozzarella meatballs in fresh tomato juice and blueberry.First, she cooked by my side, then alone with timings and instructions. Finally, she went alone against the clock. The kitchen looked like a battlefield, but she had gained victory. The tiny be-capped figure then stood in an unknown Bristol hotel, looking like a professional who had been at the stove fo r years. She didn‘t win, but she came home with £50 and the most valuable part of them all: confidence.60. The competition run by Focus on Food is intended for _________.A. childrenB. parentsC. teachersD. chefs61. Why does the writer think cooking is so important?A. It is an easy way to keep healthy.B. It helps develop relationships.C. It is a necessary skill for life.D. It can save a lot of money.62. The writer‘s family had the same lunch on six Saturdays beca use __________.A. the family stuck to healthy foodB. Miranda had to practise cookingC. the dish was the family‘s only foodD. the dish was Miranda‘s favorite meal63. What did Miranda gain from the competition?A. A trip to Disney World.B. Support from friends.C. A medal for the winner.D. Belief in herself.60．A 61．C 62．B 63．DCSmall seating in the economy-class(经济舱) sections of airplanes is not just uncomfortable but potentially life-threatening. Space has become so tight that passengers cannot protect themselves in the event of a crash.A report on a long distance flight from the doctors of Vienna stated that only 10% in economy class could adopt the recommended brace position on the plane‘s safety tips in case of emergen cy, and they were the smallest of the group. And 30% of their fellow passengers traveling in first class could adopt the position, which is internationally recognized asimproving the chances of survival in the event of a crash. The authors of the report are now calling for greater space between seat rows to increase safety.A spokesman for British Airways (BA), which is responsible for safety on all British planes, opposed the idea that small seating was a threat（威胁）to passengers. ―We don‘t think it is a safety matter,‖ he said, ―We have high safety standards and all UK aircraft meet t hem.‖ In the past month, both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic introduced sleeper seats, stressing the outstanding comfort in the front of the planes. But that space gained is space lost in economy.Until recently, economy class was at least ―bearable‖—with an 86-centimeter seat. Scheduled Airlines such as BA and KLM gave passengers enough leg room and comfortable seats. But the arrival of new, weight-saving seats caused economy class to take a turn for the worse. Extra rows have been put into the plane, with the result that the average seat now is 79 centimeters. Singapore Airlines has become the latest carrier to narrow down its seats. It announced free wine for economy passengers last September, but at the same time reduced leg room by 8 centimeters.Economy class on Scheduled Airlines is now often little better than economy on Qatar Airways. Some Qatar Airways even offer the chance to upgrade—at a price—to seats which, at 89-91 centimeters, are roomier than those of most Scheduled Airlines.64. What can we learn from the passage?A. Scheduled Airlines produced new comfortable seats for economy class.B. Doctors from Vienna said less space between seats could cause danger.C. Spokesman for BA declared that narrow seat space was a threat.D. Qatar Airways offered larger seats with no more charge.65. What might be the author‘s attitude towards reducing the space of economy seats?A. Neutral.B. Skeptical.C. Supportive.D. Disapproving.66. Where does the passage most probably come from?A. A biography.B. A book review.C. A magazine.D. A realistic novel.64．B 65．D 66．CDAccording to game maker Hasbro, approximately 750 million people have played the well-known game Monopoly since it was invented in the 1930s. Charles Darrow is typically cre dited as the inventor of the world‘s most famous board game. However, he likely originated his version of Monopoly from one of several other games similarly involving house buying and selling that were already in existence before the 1930s when he got his patent (专利) for the game.A probable reason that Darrow‘s Monopoly became the hugely successful game that still exists today is that he took a great approach to producing it. Other similar games existed, but they had no board or regulation pieces. With the help of his wife and son，who decorated the sets with details, Darrow personally created the pieces and boards that became the first Monopoly game sets. His extra work in creating the entire environment that players needed gave his game something extra that other variations did not have.Darrow had success in selling his games in various parts of the country. Several Philly area stores were the first to carry his game and sell it in large quantities. However, Darrow had difficulty selling his game to the major game producer of the time, Parker Brothers. He was told that his game was too complex and had fundamental errors in its design that would limit its appeal. Eventually, the continued sales he managed on his own forced Parker Brothers to reassess the worth of his game. In the end, the company agreed to produce the game and shortly afterwards it became the bestselling game in the country.That success turned Charles Darrow into a millionaire, which is the heavy irony. Darrow initially began work on Monopoly to help support himself and his family following the financial troubles tied to the stock market crash of 1929. Thus, Charles Darrow became a millionaire by producing a game that allows ―regular‖ people to feel like they are buying and selling real homes and land like millionaires.67. What made Darrow‘s Monopoly different from other similar games?A. The way of avoiding financial troubles.B. The safe environment created for players.C. The buying and selling of real homes and land.D. The specific pieces and a playing board in each set.68. The author suggests in Paragraph 3 that ______.A. Monopoly was initially too complex to playB. Darrow failed to make expected profit in PhillyC. certain errors in Monopoly limited its attractionD. some people once doubted Monopoly would be popular69. What does the underlined word ―irony‖ in the last paragraph mean?A. financial gainB. unexpected resultC. marketing planD. unsatisfying reward70. What is the passage mainly about?A. The difficulties in Darrow‘s life.B. The comparison of some board games.C. The way to the success of Darrow‘s game.D. The business management of Parker Brothers.67．D 68．D 69．B 70．C第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）We all regard receiving presents as a pleasant experience and yet it can be one of the most awkward situations. It is often difficult to look pleased when you receive a gift which is entirely useless or the wrong size.71 However, you have no right to change an article purchased just because it does not fit or is not to your liking. Worse still, the agreement on the sale is between the person who bought it and the shop.So you will have to tell your favorite aunt that the T-shirt does not fit. But an exchange is not always that simple because there has to be a good reason for it. 72 For example, if the buyer was told that a switch was voice operated and later found out it was not, then action could be taken. You would have the right to return it and get the money back.But if you are returning something, no matter what the reason is, you will be expected to have proof of purchase. If the receipt cannot be found, then it is possible to use another proof of purchase such as a credit card receipt. 73 Many big stores have a much more tolerant policy towards returns and see it as a gesture of goodwill to exchange goods without question. Stores including Marks & Spencer are well known for their ―no argument‖ policy on returned goods. 74So if a shop refuses to exchange the goods or to offer a refund(退款), the seller is likely to be within his legal rights unless there is something wrong with the goods. In that case, the boot is on the other foot. You have every right to demand a cash refund or a replacement, but only if you have returned it within a ―reasonable‖ time.75 Some shops and stores expect things to be returned within a week of purchase, while others may permit a much longe r time limit. In any case if you return a thing after what is considered a ―reasonable‖ time, then all you are legally entitled to is the cost of repair.A. It is unlike anything you would buy for yourself.B. If all of these have been lost, you may have to rely on a witness.C. However, shoppers should remember this is a privilege, not a right.D. Unfortunately, the law does not explain what is meant by ―reasonable‖.E. All you can do is exchange it after your friend or relative has gone home.F. Either the thing has to be broken or unsuitable for the job it was intended to do.G. You should make clear what your legal position is before returning goods to the shops.71．E 72．F 73．B 74．C 75．D第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）你申请参加了美国某校今年7月份的夏令营，现在想更改时间。

A第三部分：阅读理解AYear of GivingYesterday I started the Year of Giving, my first day of a year-long journey into exploring the act of giving and the meaning of charity. I chose December 15 as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me.I had a rather busy day yesterday, ironic (具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $ 10 to. I was running late and decided to do it afterwards.After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out DuPont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willing accept my $ 10. He wasn‘t there, but Idid see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely, so I approached him. Now I had to figure out what I was going to say, I think I said something like, ―Hi, can I sit down here?‖ ―I would like to know if I could give you $ 10?‖ He asked me to repeat what I had said, I did, then he looked at me funny, got up and left.I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I don‘t know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give $ 10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $ 10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the things that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves.56. The author set the starting date on December 15 to ____.A. help the charityB. remember his motherC. make an explosionD. fulfill a wish of his mum57. In the author‘s first attempt to give away the money, ____.A. he was considered ridiculousB. he hesitated for a long timeC. he was forced to donate the moneyD. he had no time to take action58. In the author‘s second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because ____.A. he didn‘t need other‘s helpB. he thought more for othersC. he didn‘t care about moneyD. he wanted to get more money59. We can refer that the author was inspired by ____.A. true friendshipB. his own kindnessC. generous donationsD. human‘s good nature56. B 57. A 58. B 59. DBMars on EarthDevon Islander has always been a cold and uninhabited(无人居住的) place in the Canadian Arctic. Day after day there are high winds and the temperature is below freezing. But for the first time, despite the terrible weather conditions. Devon Islander is the new home for a group of explorers from NASA. They are living here for a months in order to train and learn how to live and work on Mars. The group‘s members come from various backgrounds and nationalities, but they all have the same purpose: to find out how people can live on Mars in the future.They have chosen Devon Islander because the environment and landscape is similar in many ways to Mars. The surface is freezing cold and the ground is rough. However, there are some differences on Mars, where the atmosphere is poisonous to breathe, Devon Islander is eas ier to travel to and it has its own dangers that you won‘t find on Mars. For example, you might meet a hungry polar bear on Devon Islander!One thing the team wants to develop is suitable clothing for Mars. This includes a space suit. The suit they are tes ting at the moment is strong enough but it‘s too difficult and tiring. In addition, people will need to do experiment on Mars whil e wearing the suit so they have to be able to move around easily. One team member, Andy Overbeeke, specializes in space suit e ngineering. He explains: ―You have to think about what they‘re really going to operate in.‖Another part of daily life on Mars will be meals and food. Creating a new home on Mars requires a lot of food. So the big question is: can you grow plants in order to survive? Scientists believe that growing plants on Mars might be possi ble. Mars and Earth have many similarities. They both have about the same amount of dry land and a 24-hour day. However, the atmosphere on Mars is totally different, so Canadian scientist Alain Berinstain is attempting to grow plants in a special greenhouse that you could also build on Mars. The greenhouse needs to run 365 days a year, so it uses a combination of solar energy and wind power.People living on Mars will also want their own transportation. For this, the team on Devon Island have built the ―Martian Rover‖. It‘s a huge heavy vehicle that can travel over rocks and rough terrain. This kind of testing takes many days but so far the work has been valuable and effective. As a result, the whole team now believes their work is crucial and that it‘s possible for humans to land on the planet Mars and create a home there. Addy Overbeeke adds, ―We know that it‘s man‘s destiny to go out and do space exploration. It‘s always time to think about what you want to do in the future.‖60. The explorers are living on Devon Island to ____.A. receive a training in astronomyB. set up an advanced research labC. learn how to live and work on MarsD. make a living in an uninhabited land61. To keep food supply on Mars, people should ____.A. create a new homeB. improve the atmosphereC. build special greenhousesD. reduce the area of dry land62. According to the passage, we know that ____.A. humans may live on Mars in the futureB. Martian Rover has failed to stand the testC. Mars and Devon Island have the same soil conditionD. scientists have mastered the method to grow plants on Mars60. C 61. C 62. ACWhile you may think that being smart and talented would logically make someone successful in running a business, unfortunately, this is often not the case.This problem starts back in school when the stressful ―group projects‖ are first assigned. The smartest don‘t want to risk their grade in the class by dividing the work equally and hoping that an av erage student does his part well. They just take over and do the whole project themselves.And thus begins the smart-people work cycle. The smartest people do just about everything better than most everyone else unti l it comes to running a business. They are not better; they are screwed. A smart person who can‘t stand someone else doing a job badly does everything himself. Then, he is stuck with the one-man band ―job-business‖ and ends up not being able to grow. However, it is quite interesting and strange that some slacken are better suited to be a business leader than the ―smart‖ people. They fig ured out early on to surround themselves with smart people who would do the work that they themselves don‘t want to do.Sma rt and talented people often have a gift for the unusual, complicated or different. They don‘t like to follow the KISS principle (keep it simple, stupid), which is required to make a business succeed. Maybe you think the global presence of McDonald‘s compl ex, but in reality, in the company, every single task is broken down into easy-to-follow steps and everything has been standardized. These successful companies have just a few smart enough people to run the majority of the tasks in a way that can‘t be screwed up by their average employees. So, being smart or talented isn‘t going to help you unless you can use those smarts to figure out a way to simplify those tasks that will make a business successful.Another issue with the smart people starting businesses is that they often have the most to lose. The smarter you are, the more options you have available to you. You will be able to make a lot of money in various fields and have room in your career to become promoted. This means that when you start a business, you have a lot more to risk than those who are not equally smart. This is often referred to as the ―golden handcuffs‖ dilemma.So, don‘t be surprised when the person ―MOST Likely to Succeed‖ from high school ends up as an employee and it is one average student that finds success in his or her own business.63. In group work, smart students often take over the whole project because they believe ____.A. the work is not divided equallyB. they can perform better than othersC. the group projects are too stressfulD. average students are unwilling to participate64. McDonald‘s is used as an example to prove that ____.A. a business calls for smart people‘s talentB. average employees can perform complex tasksC. smart people are important for a successful businessD. simplified tasks are required for the success of a business65. The underlined expression in Paragraph 5 refers to the situation where smart people ____.A. have fewer options in a companyB. risk more when starting businessC. are unwilling to put money to a businessD. can have a good income in many different fields66. What is the best title for the passage?A. Potentials for SuccessB. Bases for BusinessC. The Ordinary Achieve Bigger Success?D. Talent Means Successful Business?63. B 64. D 65. B 66. DDWe know that hugs make us feel easy inside. And this feeling, it turns out, could actually ward off stress and protect the immune (免疫) system, according to a new research from Carnegie Mellon University.It‘s a well-known fact that stress can weaken the immune system. In this study, the researchers sought to determine whether hugs----like social support more broadly----could protect individuals from the increased sensitivity to illness brought on by the particular stress that come with interpersonal conflict.―We know that people experiencing ongoing conflicts with others are less able to fight off cold vir uses. We also know that people who report having social support are partly protected from the effects of stress on psychological states, such as depression and anxiety, ―the study‘s lead author, psychologist Dr. Sheldon Cohen, said in a statement. ―We test ed whether awareness of social support is equally effective in protecting us from sensitivity to infection caused by stress and also whether receiving hugs might partially account for those feeling of support and thus protect a person against infection.‖In the experiment, over 400 healthy adults filled out a questionnaire about their perceived (感知) social support and also participated in a nightly phone interview for two weeks. They were asked the frequency they engaged in interpersonal conflicts and received bugs that day.Then, the researchers exposed the participants to a common cold virus, and monitored them to assess signs of infection. They found that both perceived social support and more frequent hugs reduced the risk of infection associated with experiencing interpersonal conflict. Regardless of whether or not they experienced social conflicts, infected participants with greater perceived social support and more frequent hugs had less severe illness symptoms.―This suggests that being hugged by a trusted person may act as an effective means of conveying support and that increasing the freq uency of hugs might be an effective means of reducing the effects of stress,‖ Cohen said. ―The apparent protective effect of hugs may result from the physical contact itself or hugging being a behavioral indicator of support and closeness. Either way, those who receive more hugs are somewhat more protected from infection.‖If you need any more reason to go wrap your arms around someone special, consider this: hugs also lower blood pressure, reduce fearsome around death and dying, improve heart health and decrease feeling of loneliness.67. In Paragraph 1, the underlined words ―wand off ―can be replaced by ____.A. produceB. increaseC. preventD. support68. Dr. Sheldon Cohen‘s experiment shows that ____.A. hugs can hide serious illness symptomsB. social conflicts can monitor signs of infectionC. social support can reduce the risk of having a coldD. depression and anxiety result from less social support69. The passage aims to convey that ____.A. hugs can have protective effectsB. social support can sure diseasesC. interpersonal conflicts cause infectionsD. stress can weaken our immune system70. The passage is most likely to be found in ____.A. a social science magazineB. a commercial brochureC. a medical reportD. an academic essay67. C 68. C 69. A 70. A第二节（共5小题:每小题2分，共10分）Make a Joke of ItI‘m working on my Happiness Project, and you could have one, too! Everyone‘s project will look different, but it‘s the rare person who can‘t benefit. Join in----no need to catch up, just jump in right now.Everyone sa ys, and it‘s true, that one of the most effective ways to handle negative emotions is to lighten up. __71__If you‘re angry, joke around. Easier said than done, however.I had a chance to keep my resolution to ―make a joke of it‖ last night. My husband fina lly took on the job of dealing with my daughter‘s adventure in orthodontia(牙齿矫正术). The orthodontist‘s office is right around the Corner from his office, and he agreed that he‘d schedule the appointments and take her. This was GREAT!On our flight to Kansas City for the holidays, the Big Girl lost her ―functional appliance‖ which she wears in her mouth. __72__We got back home a week later, and the Big Man didn‘t call to make an appointment! Days went by. I reminded him periodically, but nothing happened.__73__Last night, I stamped into our bedroom ready to turn on my anger at ful l volume. ―This really matters, this is important, she‘s growing now, what‘s the point, it‘s expensive, you promised you‘d do it.‖ Etc. Then I thought, ―Make a joke of it.‖So I went over, put my arm around the Big Man, and said nicely, ―You know what? If you don‘t call the orthodontist‘s tomorrow, I‘m going to be very angry. I‘m not threatening, just giving you fair warning.‖ And I laughed while I said it.―I know, I know!‖ he said, shaking his head. ―I‘ll send myself an Email right now.‖ And he did. __74__ I‘m not sure if making a joke of it was more effective than getting angry, but I don‘t think it was less effective. I was happier about it,and the Big Man was happier about it. __75__It‘s easy to say ―make a joke of it‖, but it‘s hard to do when you‘re feeling angry, scared, bored, or upset. Have you found a way to get yourself to make a joke?A. And today he made the appointment.B. If things are sad, try to find a reason to laugh.C. We looked everywhere on the plane; it was gone.D. If you‘re happy an d you know it, clap your hands.E. You‘d think flight rage is a uniquely Chinese problem.F. And it was a much nicer way to have that unpleasant exchange.G. Whenever I thought about this delay, I became extremely annoyed.71. B 72. C 73. G 74. A 75.

However, the atmosphere on Mars is totally different, so Canadian scientist Alain Berinstain is attempting to grow plants in a special greenhouse that you could also build on Mars. The greenhouse needs to run 365 days a year, so it uses a combination of solar energy and wind power.People living on Mars will also want their own transportation. For this, the team on Devon Island have built the―Martian Rover‖. It‘s a huge heavy vehicle that can travel over rocks and rough terrain. This kind of testing takes many days but so far the work has been valuable and effective. As a result, the whole team now believes their work is crucial and that it‘s possible for humans to land on the planet Mars and create a home there. Addy Overbeeke adds, ―We know that it‘s man‘s destiny to go out and do space exploration. It‘s always time to think about what you want to do in the future.‖60. The explorers are living on Devon Island to ____.A. receive a training in astronomyB. set up an advanced research labC. learn how to live and work on MarsD. make a living in an uninhabited land61. To keep food supply on Mars, people should ____.A. create a new homeB. improve the atmosphereC. build special greenhousesD. reduce the area of dry land62. According to the passage, we know that ____.C. Mars and Devon Island have the same soil conditionD. scientists have mastered the method to grow plants on MarsCWhile you may think that being smart and talented would logically make someone successful in running a business, unfortunately, this is often not the case.This problem starts back in school when the stressful ―group projects‖ are first assigned .The smartest don‘t want to risk their grade in the class by dividing the work equally and hoping that art average student does his part well. They just take over and do the whole project themselves.And thus begins the smart-people work cycle. The smartest people do just about everything better than most everyone else until it comes to running a business. They are not better; they are screwed. A smart person who ca n‘t stand someone else doing a job badly does everything himself. Then, he is stuck with the one-man band ―job-business‖ and ends up not being able to grow. However, it is quite interesting and strange that some slacken are better suited to be a business leader than the ―smart‖ people. The figured out early on to surround themselves with smart people who would do the work that they themselves don‘t want to do.Smart and talented people often have a gift for the unusual, complicated or different. They don‘t like to follow the KISS principle (keep it simple, stupid), which is required to make a business succeed. Maybe you think the global presence of McDonald‘s complex, but in reality, in the company, every single task is broken down into easy-to-follow steps and everything has been standardized. These successful companies have just a few smart enough people to run the majority of the tasks in a way that can‘t be screwed up by their average employees. So, being smart or talented isn‘t going to help you unless you can use those smarts to figure out a way to simplify those tasks that will make a business successful.Another issue with the smart people starting businesses is that they often have the most to lose. The smarter you are, the more options you have available to you. You will be able to make a lot of money in various fields and have room in your career to become promoted. This means that when you start a business, you have a lot more to risk than those who are not equally smart. This is often referred to as the ―golden handcuffs‖ dilemma.So, don‘t be surprised when the person ―MOST Likely to Succeed‖ from high school ends up as an employee and it is one average student that finds success in his or her own business.63. In group work, smart students often take over the whole project because they believe ____.A. the work is not divided equallyB. they can perform better than othersC. the group projects are too stressfulD. average students are unwilling to participate64. McDonald‘s is used as a n example to prove that ____.A. a business calls for smart people‘s talentB. average employees can perform complex tasksC. smart people are important for a successful businessD. simplified tasks are required for the success of a business65. The underlined expression in Paragraph 5 refers to the situation where smart people ____.A. have fewer options in a companyB. risk more when starting businessC. are unwilling to put money to a businessD. can have a good income in many different fields66. What is the best title for the passage?A. Potentials for SuccessB. Bases for BusinessC. The Ordinary Achieve Bigger Success?D. Talent Means Successful Business?DWe know that hugs make us feel easy inside. And this feeling, it turns out, could actually ward off stress and protect r the immune (免疫) system, according to a new research from Carnegie Mellon University.It‘s a well-known fact that stress can weaken the immune system. In this study, the researchers sought to determine whether hugs----like social support more broadly ----could protect individuals from the increased sensitivity to illness brought on by the particular stress that come with interpersonal conflict.―We know that people experiencing ongoing conflicts with others are less able to fight off cold viruses. We also know that people who report having social support are partly protected from the effects of stress on psychological states, such as depression and anxiety, ―the study‘s lead author, psychologist Dr. Sheldon Cohen , said in a statement. ―We tested whether awareness of social support is equally effective in protecting us from sensitivity to infection caused by stress and also whether receiving hugs might partially account for those feeling of support and thus protect a person against infection.‖participated in a nightly phone interview for two weeks . They were asked the frequency they engaged in interpersonal conflicts and received bugs that day.Then, the researchers exposed the participants to a common cold virus, and monitored them to assess signs of infection. They found that both perceived social support and more frequent hugs reduced the risk of infection associated with experiencing interpersonal conflict. Regardless of whether or not they experienced social conflicts, infected participants with greater perceived social support and more frequent hugs had less severe illness symptoms.―This suggests that being hugged by a trusted person may act as an ef fective means of conveying support and that increasing the frequency of hugs might be an effective means of reducing the effects of stress,‖ Cohen said. ―The apparent protective effect of hugs may result from the physical contact itself or hugging being a behavioral indicator of support and closeness. Either way, those who receive more hugs are somewhat more protected from infection.‖If you need any more reason to go wrap your arms around someone special, consider this: hugs also lower blood pressure, reduce fearsome around death and dying, improve heart health and decrease feeling of loneliness.67. In Paragraph 1, the underlined words ―wand off ―can be replaced by ____.A. produceB. increaseC. preventD. support68. Dr. Sheldon Cohen‘s exper iment shows that ____.A. hugs can hide serious illness symptomsB. social conflicts can monitor signs of infectionC. social support can reduce the risk of having a coldD. depression and anxiety result from less social support69. The passage aims to convey that ____.A. hugs can have protective effectsB. social support can sure diseasesC. interpersonal conflicts cause infectionsD. stress can weaken our immune system70. The passage is most likely to be found in ____.A. a social science magazineB. a commercial brochureC. a medical reportD. an academic essay第二节（共5小题:每小题2分，共10分）Make a Joke of ItI‘m working on my Happiness Project, and you could have one, too! Everyone‘s project will look different, but it‘s the rare person who can‘t benefit. Join in----no need to catch up, just jump in right now.Everyone sa ys, and it‘s true, that one of the most effective ways to handle negative emotions is to lighten up.__71__If you‘re angry, joke around. Easier said than done, however.I had a chance to keep my resolution to ―make a joke of it‖ last night. My husband fina lly took on the job of dealing with my daughter‘s adventure in orthodontia(牙齿矫正术). The orthodontist‘s office is right around the Corner from his office, and he agreed that he‘d schedule the appointments and take her. This was GREAT!On our flight to Kansas City for the holidays, the Big Girl lost her ―functional appliance‖ which she wears in her mouth. __72__We got back home a week later, and the Big Man didn‘t call to make an appointment! Days went by. I reminded him periodically, but nothing happened. __73__Last night, I stamped into our bedroom ready to turn on my anger at ful l volume. ―This really matters, this is important, she‘s growing now, what‘s the point, it‘s expensive, you promised you‘d do it.‖ Etc. Then I thought, ―Make a joke of it.‖So I went over, put my arm around the Big Man, and said nicely, ―You know what? If you don‘t call the orthodontist‘s tomorrow, I‘m going to be very angry. I‘m not threatening, just giving you fair warning.‖ And I laughed while I said it.―I know, I know!‖ he said, shaking his head. ―I‘ll send myself an Email right now.‖ And he did. __74__ I‘m not sure if making a joke of it was more effective than getting angry, but I don‘t think it was less effective. I was happier about it, and the Big Man was happier about it. __75__It‘s easy to say ―make a joke of it‖, but it‘s hard to do when you‘re feeling angry, scared, bored, or upset. Have you found a way to get yourself to make a joke?A. And today he made the appointment.B. If things are sad, try to find a reason to laugh.C. We looked everywhere on the plane; it was gone.E. You‘d think flight rage is a uniquely Chinese problem.F. And it was a much nicer way to have that unpleasant exchange.G. Whenever I thought about this delay, I became extremely annoyed.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）你刚刚从美国游学归来，请你给美国朋友Chris 写一封信，内容包括：1.告知旅途顺利，你安全到家；2.感谢他们一家对你寄宿期间的悉心照顾；3.邀请他今年暑假来北京游览，你提供食宿。
