A Are you looking for something to do? You might like to try one of these four experiences.Crocodile watching Do you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth? Crocosaurus Cove, in Darwin (Australia) has the “Cage of Death”. It’s an enclosure th at’s lowered into a pool. This gives you a 360 degree view of a crocodile as it’s being fed. The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom, but they’ve fixed it since then. EdgeWalk How about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air? If that sounds like fun, head off to the CN Tower in Toronto (Ontario, Canada). Built in 1976, the tower is 553.33 meters tall. The EdgeWalk consists of a 20-30 minute stroll along a 1.5 meter wide platform that runs around the tower’s restaurant roof. During the walk, you’re encouraged to lean forwards as you look over Toronto’s skyline(轮廓线).Plastic ball rollingDo you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball? Plastic ball rolling is popular all over the world, but the place to give it a go is in Rotorua (New Zealand). Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994. A typical orb (球) is about 3 meters in diameter, with an inner orb size of about 2 meters. There’s no brake or steering mechanism, but the inner layer of the plastic ball helps absorb the shock.Volcano bungee jumping If you’re looking for the adventure of a lifetime, how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano? As part of the jumping, a helicopter ride takes you to the Villarrica volcano, one of the most active in Chile. Once you ’re at the drop zone, you leap off the helicopter and fall into the volcano. Finally, you enjoy the ride back to the airport flying at 130kph.Attracted by the above? If so, please contact us. Only half price from March 22 to April 25th For more information, please click here.1. According to the passage, there was an accident o nce when people _____.A. jumped into the Villarrica volcanoB. walked along the platform of the CN TowerC. rolled down a hill in a plastic ball in RotoruaD. watched crocodiles in the “Cage of Death” in Darwin2. Which of the following was first invented in New Zealand?A. EdgeWalk.B. Crocodile watching.C. Plastic ball rolling.D. Volcano bungee jumping.3. It can be inferred that all the four experiences are ______.A. interesting sportsB. exciting and extremeC. held on high placesD. fit for middle to old peopleBIf you want a little extra security against thieves stealing your bicycle, designer Dennis Siegel has designed a solution. The RFID Bikealarm is attached to the seat on a bicycle and gives off an alarm when it senses movement.“The RFID Bikealarm is meant to be a useful add-on to mechanical bicycle locks because it greatly extends the range of protection with only a few components,” Siegel explains on his website. “It is low-cost, durable and easy to use.”The Bikealarm was designed as part of Siegel’s Bachelor’s degreethesis at the University of the Arts Bremen in Germany. The device will scare off any would-be thieves the moment they begin to steal the bicycle to which it is attached. It is able to continuously sense the environment to distinguish between specific events, for instance a passing tram / car and a serious theft.Siegel created a working model of an alarm that would sound when it sensed movement, but wasn’t initially sure how it would be best attached to a bicycle. “I decided to mount it to the rails of the seat because it allows for comfortable interaction and the position is less obvious as it looks like a small repair kit,” he says.Siegel chose to use RFID technology rather than Bluetooth to keep the costs down. Siegel explains that the most difficult aspect of creating the alarm was to get the electronic circuit down to a small enough size.The device runs off a kind of battery that can be charged by USB within 2 hours and lasts for a few days with normal use. As the Bikealarm is only at development stage, Siegel hasn’t signed any agreements to put it on the market.4. When it senses movement, the RFID Bikealarm will _____.A. make a warning soundB. fasten the bicycle tightlyC. shake the bicycle quicklyD. call the police automatically5. Which of the following shows the right position of the RFID Bikealarm on a bicycle?6. What do we know about the RFID Bikealarm? A. It can’t tell between specif ic events. B. It is very difficult to use. C. It uses a kind of battery for power. D. It depends on Bluetooth technology.7. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that ______. A. the electronic circuit is a little larger B. i t’s very easy to make a Bikealarm C. it costs too much at present D. not many Bikealarms are producedC One afternoon, after finishing shopping in a supermarket, my family and I went to the checkout. I suddenly thought we didn’t need any of the junk, and we abandoned all of those, saving $300. That got me thinking about all our pointless expenses in life. With a promise that we’d stop if it was killing us, I convinced the family to take the leap into frugality(节俭). The rules were that we would buy nothing for 30 days except absolutely essentials. Our adventure began with a great start. By 9 a.m., my wife, Ruth, had already made cakes from old strawberries and picked flowers I didn’t even know we had in the garden. I cleared the car by hand for the first time for years. I read and returned the neighbor’s newspaper before he woke up. Total spending on the first day: $0.As days turned into weeks, we became so proficient (熟练的)at living frugally. We started riding our bikes to save gas. My child’s fingerpainting was recycled as gift wrap for the homemade presents. We started to use an Internet application like Skype for free phone calls and ask neighbors with gardens for extra vegetables and herbs.In the end, we saved more than $2000 by not spending for a month. When we began, I imagined we would rush out the moment we were done and buya lot of things in the supermarket, then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies. 8. We can infer from the passage that before that very afternoon, the family _________.A. had had higher incomeB. had had a good habit of saving moneyC. had often spent money without thinking muchD. hadn’t realized they would have met financial problems9. How many things were mentioned about the things the family did to save on the first day of the “30 days”?A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five10. The end of the story tells the readers that the family _________.A. stopped halfwayB. couldn’t stand the life of frugalityC. would make up for missing the junk after the “30 days”D. succeeded in saving in the end11. This passage is mainly about _________.A. how a family managed their daily lifeB. a family’s no-buying tryC. a family’s way of solving life problemsD. how a new idea came upDNot all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean, an S-shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles. The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.“Storm at Sea”, a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankind’s earliest artistic representations of t he Atlantic.When the wind is from the westAll the waves that cannot restTo the east must thunder on Where the bright tree of the sun Is rooted in the ocean’s breast.As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise-it is forever thundering, boiling, crashing, and whistling.It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath-perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences, too: unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony, giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub-ocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.12. Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is __________.A. always energeticB. lacking in livelinessC. shaped like a squareD. favored by ancient poets13. What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage?A. To describe the movement of the waves.B. To show the strength of the storm.C. To represent the power of the ocean.D. To prove the vastness of the sea.14. What doe s the underlined word “symbiotic” mean?A. Living together.B. Growing fast.C. Moving harmoniously.D. Breathing peacefully.15. In the last paragraph, the Atlantic is compared to __________.A. a beautiful and poetic placeB. a flesh and blood personC. a wonderful worldD. a lovely animal第二节(共5 小题;每小题2 分,满分10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

When people smile for no reason, Russians find the smiling faces artificial or insincere.When two Russians meet in a restaurant, they look away, since smiling at strangers is not considered friendly in the culture. In shops, the Russian cashier(收银员) won’t offer a smile to a customer because he doesn’t know him, and because he is working. Russian President Vladimir Putin may look very serious while standing next to American President BarackObama, but it’s usually not because he is angry or upset—he’s just doing his job.Americans, on the other hand, seem to smile for any reason. The “American smile” has a long-standing bad reputation in Russia, mainly because of the bad relationship between the two countries which lasted for more than half a century.But Russian people do smile, of course, for true happiness—fair health, a pleasant mood, prosperity, all good reasons.When Russians do offer a smile in public, it’s usually directed at someone they know. Still, they tend to smile only with their lips, with only a small part of the teeth seen. Any more, and that smile es off as unpleasant or even uncivilized.The biggest and most natural smiles e out at home, where Russians laugh and joke like any American would, with close friends and family members. But when someone brings out a camera, the corners of their mouths turn down again, because photos are thought to be less personal and more public. So in photos they are usually stone-faced.. So, don’t be surprised at the serious-looking Russians in Sochi. They’re friendly though they don’t smile.26. In Sochi, Leigh found that ________.A. smiles are not allowed in RussiaB. Russian cashiers are usually not kind to customersC. Putin and Obama were also there for the gamesD. he received no response when he smiled to Russians27. For Russians the “American smile” is ______.A. false and dishonestB. friendly and genuineC. informal but pleasantD. too casual but kind28. Which of the following about Russian smile is TRUE?A. A smile is regarded as an insincere practice.B. A smile is mon in the service industry.C. Smiles are exchanged between strangers.D. A big smile on public occasions is unusual.29. Russians in photos are usually stone-faced because ______.A. those photos are not taken at homeB. they never smile big or naturallyC. photos are not something very private for themD. they are not with close friends and family members30. What does the writer think of Russians?A. They can easily bee angry and upset.B. They may look serious but friendly.C. They are always in pleasant mood and look happy.D. They are usually stone-faced for no reasonsBMy mother is always a strong woman. She came to America when she was 12—old enough to remember her language, she achieved scores and grades high enough to be admitted to Duke University. With a degree in puter science, she finally became the manager of a pany in New York. My mother could give fluent speeches, say “wolves” correctly.It was my mother who always stressed the importance of language. From the time I was born, I was read to. I would fall asleep to the sounds of my parents’ voices, whether it was my dad’s softly accented, or my mother’s clear English. The flow of language was unbroken, and whether in Chinese or English, the stream of munication flowed through our house.One October morning in sixth grade, after my mother had left to catch the train to the city, I left the house for the bus stop. I was surprised when I saw our car, the door hanging open. As I drew closer, I saw my mother lying on the ground.In the hospital, it was hard to believe that the lady who lay before me was my mom. My mother could not remember my name. As the leaves changed colors, it became clear that the stroke had created a wall between my mother’s mind and mouth: her mind was not any less clear, but the words she spoke were not what she meant.The battle my mother faced taught me the importance of language. Without it, identity does not exist; relationships cannot be formed; stories cannot be told; directions cannot be given, and knowing anything about anyone is impossible. Without language, munication cannot take place. Without language, one cannot express the beauty of a sunset or the kindness of a stranger. The world would pass us by in silence.31. From where might the author’s mom e to America?A. ChinaB. EnglandC. RussiaD. Canada32. From the second paragraph, we can know ________.A. the author was taught to read since she was bornB. the author’s father also spoke very fluent EnglishC. the author couldn’t fall asleep without being read toD. the author’s parents taught her language by talking a lot33. According to the last two paragraphs, the author’s mom was unable to _______.A. think clearlyB. speakC. express herself wellD. open her mouth34. The underlined word “stroke” in the 4th paragraph most probably refers to ______.A. a traffic accidentB. a hitC. a robberyD. an illness35. This passage is mainly about _________.A. a strong motherB. the importance of languageC. a family disasterD. the significance of teaching languageCA friend of mine recently started a conversation with these words: “I hope you don’t misunderstand me, but…”I wish I could tell you what she said next. But I wasn’t listening—my brain had stopped at that moment. I thought she would say something bad, and I felt bad.Certain phrases bee our daily speech before we know it—we hear them a few times and suddenly we find ourselves using them. We like the way they sound, and we may find they are useful. They may make it easier to say something difficult or buy us a few extra seconds to collect our next thought.Yet for the listener, these phrases are confusing. Consider: “I want you to know…”or “I’m just saying…”or “I hate to be the one to tell you this, but…” Often, these phrases suggest the opposite meanings like “I’m not telling the truth”.Take this sentence: “I want to say that your new haircut looks beautiful.” In one sense, it’s true: The speaker does wish to tell you that your hair looks great. But does he or she really think it is so or just want to say it? It’s unclear.Language experts have a text book name for these phrases—“qualifiers(修饰语)”. At first, these phrases seem harmless, formal and polite. But when used, they are often followed with something bad, and that makes the speaker less harmless, less polite and less true.Sometimes, politeness is another word for deception. By saying those words, you don’t have to make your true self exposed. In other words, if you’re going to lie, it’s a good way to say those words—it’s hard to tell whether you’re lying.So, if you really want to be honest, just say what you want to say, without using the “qualifiers”.36. Using the example at the beginning of the article, the writer ______.A. describes her friend’s art of speechB. shows how powerful some phrases areC. introduces her understanding of “qualifiers”D. suggests a way of starting a conversation37. The writer couldn’t tell you what her friend said next because _______.A. she was ashamed that she had forgotten itB. her friend didn’t say anything at allC. what her friend said was not trueD. the writer didn’t at all listen to her friend38. About “qualifiers”, which of the following statements does the writer think NOT true?A. They seem to be polite and harmless.B. They may be useful to the speaker in some way.C. They make speeches confusing and unclear.D. They turn dull speeches into attractive ones.39. What does the underlined word “deception” probably mean?A. applyingB. praisingC. cheatingD. offending40. The writer’s attitude towards the use of “qualifiers: is ______.A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. indifferentDWhile Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the uping showdown. What if Mr Larchmont refused to grant his request? Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and landed some great accounts for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course, he deserved a wage increase.The thought of walking into Larchmont’s office left Andrew weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approachhis superior. To his delight and surprise, the ever-frugal(一向节俭的) Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!Andrew arrived home that evening—despite breaking all city and state speed limits—to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Tina, had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes. Immediately he figured someone from the office had tipped her off!Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note. It was from his wife. It read: “Congratulations, my love! I knew you’d get the raise!I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your acplishments!” He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was.After dinner, Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina’s pocket onto the floor. He bent forward to pick it up. It read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise! You do deserve one! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase.”Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew’s eyes. Total acceptance! Tina’s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure.41. What was Andrew’s plan that Friday?A. To request a wage increase from his boss.B. To get a job with the Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency.C. To celebrate his success with his wife at home.D. To ask his boss to e for dinner.42. On his way back home, Andrew _________.A. felt weak in the kneesB. was punished by the traffic policemanC. could hardly wait to enjoy a mealD. couldn’t wait to share the news43. Which of the following statements about the story is FALSE?A. Andrew was afraid that his request would lead to disaster.B. Andrew had worked very hard and done his part for the pany.C. Andrew’s boss agreed to his request.D. One of Andrew’s colleagues had told his wife the good news.44. Why did Tina prepare a grand dinner for Andrew that day?A. She was confident of his getting a pay raise.B. She believed that her husband was the best in his pany.C. She meant to show her support whatever the result would be.D. She wanted to express her gratitude for his devotion to the family.45.

So, I decided one year to bypass the usual shirts, sweaters and ties and reach for something 39 just for Mike.The inspiration came in an 40 way. Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team of mostly black kids sponsored by a church. These young men, dressed in ragged sneakers, 41 a sharp contrast to our boys in their nice uniforms and sparkling new wrestling shoes. As the match began, I was alarmed to see that the other team was wrestling without helmets, a luxury that they obviously couldn’t42 . Well, we thoroughly defeated them and took every weight class. Mike shook his head 43 , "I wish just one of them could have won," he said. "They have a lot of potential, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them.1"Mike loved kids and he knew them. That's when the 44 for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local 45 goods store and bought wrestling headgear and shoes and sent them anonymously(慝名)to the church. On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was my gift from him.

D on’t worry, Tom!" His father said, "50 we’d better go back to our hotel in order to avoid being harmed.”51.stayed in the seaside for several weeks.

For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C an d D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AWhen buying from a dealer, the law says that a car must be:As described:This includes the history of the car as well as its specification.For example, if the dealer described the car as previously having “one careful lady owner”, it shouldn’t turn out to have hadseveral previous “boy racer” owners.Of satisfactory quality:It must meet the standard that a reasonable person would regard as acceptable and be free from any quality problem.Also, bear in mind that a second-hand car will have a slightly different definition of what is considered “satisfactory”, because there’s certainly an element of wear and tear.Fit for the purpose:It must be reasonable fit for any normal purpose and this includes any purpose that you specify to the seller.●If any of the above is violated, then in theory, you may have the fight to reject the vehicle and get your money back if you’re reasonably quick. Alternatively, the dealer might offer to replace or repair the car; reduce the price of offering a partial refund(退款).Once you’ve informed the dealer that you wish to reject the car , you must stop using the vehicle.●If the rejection is not accepted, then it’s up to you to prove your case. You’ll need to pay for an independent assessment of the car and sue for damages. If you do choose a repair, insist the dealer provide you with a hire car or pay any reasonable traveling expenses thus produced while your new car is in the garage.●If the car is new ,it’s likely that the claim will be too high to be fought. Using the small claims procedure to you may have to pay for legal representation. All this can be pretty daunting and expensive. You need to weigh up the pros and cons before rejecting a car. Would a repair do just as well? Selecting a dealer who offers a clear exchange policy may help.56.After the above writing, you will be better at .A.choosing a car B.dealing with car sellersC.making a claim D.suing for damages57.According to the text, what is essential after you inform the dealer of your wish to reject the car?A.Suing for damages.B.Demanding traveling expenses.C.Stopping using it.D.Proving your case.58.If the dealer offers to repair the car you have bought, which of the following is acceptable?A.Asking the dealer to provide you with a hire car.B.Asking the dealer to provide you with repair tool sets.C.Asking the dealer to pay all of your traveling expenses.D.Asking the dealer to return all your money.59.Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “daunting” in the last paragraph?A.Different.B.Effective.C.Discouraging.D.Convenient.60.What does the writer want to say in the last paragraph?A.Buyers should select a dealer that offers to repair the car.B.Rejecting a new car is not necessarily that best choice.C.It’s necessary that a new car should be repaired.D.Buyers should never reject a mew car.BDear Kind-Trustee-Who-Sends-Orphans-to-College,Here I an! I traveled yesterday for four hours in a train.It’s a funny feeling, isn’t it? I never rode in one before.College is the biggest, most puzzling place—I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will write you a description later when I'm feeling less confused; also I will tell you about my lessons. Classes don't begin until Monday morning, and this is Saturday night. But I wanted to write a letter first just to get acquainted.It seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you don't know. It seems strange for me to be writing letters at all—I've never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if these are not a model kind.Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very serious talk. She told me how to behave all the rest of my life, and especially how to behave towards the kind gentlemanwho is doing so much for me. I must take care to be very respectful.But how can one be very respectful to a person who wishes to be called John Smith? Why couldn't youhave picked out a name with a little personality? I might as well write letters to Dear Flagpole or Dear Clothes-line.I have been thinking about you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all these years makes me feel as though I had found a sort of family. It seems as though I belonged to somebody now, and it's a very comfortable feeling. I must say, however, that when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon. There are just three things that I know: I, You are tall. Ⅱ. You are rich. Ⅲ. You hate girls.I suppose I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. Only that's rather rude to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but that's rude to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Besides, being rich is such a very external quality. Maybe you won't stay rich all your life; lots of very clever men get broke in Wall Street. But at least you will stay tall all your life! So I've decided to call you Dear Daddy-Long-Legs. I hope you won't mind. It's just a private pet name we won't tell Mrs. Lippett.The ten o'clock bell is going to ring in two minutes. Our day is divided into sections by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. It's very lifeful. There it goes! Lights out. Good night.Observe how precisely I obey rules--due to my training in the John Grier Home.Yours mostrespectfully,Jerusha AbbottTo Mr. Daddy-Long-Legs Smith 61.Jerusha felt “confused” because .A.she had never written to the trustee beforeB.she was not familiar with the college yetC.she could never find the way to her homeD.she had never traveled on a train berore62.Jerusha thought that she couldn’t be very respectful to “John Smith” because .A.he was a total stranger to herB.she was sure it was a false identityC.the name was too commonD.nobody would like to be called that time63.According to Jerusha, being rich may be .A.tentative B.unimaginable C.traditional D.rude 64.The fact that her day is “divided into sections by bells” makes Jerusha feel .A.busy B.restricted by rules C.pressed for time D.full of energy65.Jerusha decided to call the trustee Dear Daddy-Long-legs .A.in order to show her respect for himB.because it was one of his inner qualityC.in older to make them feel closer to each otherD.because she had always wanted a fatherCThe next generation of smart phone could combine the date from its gyroscopes (陀螺仪) with a built-in compass to allow you to track your indoor movements even without GPS Research described it in the international Journal of Innovative Computing and Applications by Shahid Ayub of Lancaster University, and his colleagues there and at HW Communications, suggests that the embedded inertial sensors (嵌入式惯性传感器) in many smart phones have added the facility to be used for localisation and tracking applications. Theprimary benefit of using smart phones is that no additional infrastructure would need to be installed for monitoring personnel movements in a wide variety of situations not least staff, equipment and inventory movements in warehouse facilities, shopping malls and factories. In contrast, other technology being proposed would require new equipment,such as RFID technologies.However, smart phones do not yet have the ability to pinpoint their location without recourse to the GPS system, which is not accessible indoors and has the added disadvantage of using up battery power very quickly even if it could be used. Inertial navigation only provides the necessary information relative to a specified starting point the team says. This is useful for anyone with a non-GPS smart phone who wishes to track the route they take when walking or jogging if they specify their starting point. The team suggests that pedestrians indoors could be positioned using a combination of the smart phone accelerometer(加速器) and an built-in digital compass, something that will become available in future smart phones.They have now investigated the potential of three different smart phone placement modes: idle, hand held and listening, which could be used with pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) techniques to allow users to record the path they follow or for various kinds of workplace or other monitoring requirements."The technique could be used in underground tube stations, airports , train stations where there is no infrastructure installed for tracking or navigation," Ayub explains, "It can also be used for location-based service applications. In big shopping malls it becomes easier to navigate to a target shop or meeting place, while in large offices and across industry it could be used to track employees and control movements of workers in restricted areas."66.What is the primary benefit of using smart phones with embedded inertial sensors?A.They require new equipment, such as RFID technologies.B.They can track pedestrian movement indoors with GPS.C.No additional infrastructure would be needed.D.No additional money would be spent.67.What can we know from the third paragraph?A.pedestrians indoors cannot be positioned using GPS.B.GPS can be used to locate pedestrians indoors.C.Smart phones with embedded inertial sensors can save a lot of energy.D.The current GPS system is perfect in many ways.68.We can learn from the passage that the recent studies of smart phones .A.were conducted by Shahid Ayub aloneB.were supported by GPSC.have no connection with everyday needsD.can be applied to underground tube stations69.The

passage.Fill in the numbered blands by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.TV and computer games are blamed for everything from turning our children into a generation of couch potatoes to increased anti-social behavior.Dr .Aric Sigman an associate fellow of the British Psychological Society, believes watching TV too much Puts children at increased risk of health problems, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and obesity.If you’re worried about how long your child spends in front of a screen.It may be time to review and modify your family’s screen habits.Research firm BMRB estimates young people in the UK aged between 11 and 15 spend ,on average, 52 hours a week in front of a screen.In April , he told MPs children under three shouldn’t be exposed to TV at all.He recommended children aged between three and seven should watch no more than 30 minutes to an hour of TV a day, seven to 12-yea-olds should be limited to one hour, and 12 to 15-year-olds should watch a maximum of one and a half hours.Dr .Sigman wants the Government to publish recommended daily guidelines for TV watching, as it does for salt intake.Both women, who have five children between them, acknowledge that cutting down screen time can be tough.“It needs a bit of effort, but small steps can make a difference so everyone in the family is happier,” says Laura O’ Flynn.Keep TVs and computers out of children’s bedrooms.Watching TV before going to sleep doesn’t help children settle.Instead, read a bedtime story or encourage them to read for themselves.Having and who they’re talking to onlin e.Good viewing habits start young.It’s difficult to impose rules on teenagers who already watch excessive TV or play computer games for hours on end.Help children plan their viewing with a TV guide.This will cut down screen time and help them to become more selective about what they watch.Don’t put on the TV as background noise.Set viewing limits.Decide with your children how much time they can spend watching TV or playing computer games.Think in 30-minute units.Shorter periods make it easier to switch off and cut down on screen consumption.Lead by example.Don’t have a TV in your own bedroom and don’t spend hours watching TV or online.Do some activities, such as playing board games or going out on a bike ride to distract their attention from TV or computers.Laura O’ Flynn says: “we went into lots of schools and the children told us they wished their parents would take them to the park and play with them .”Before rushing to throw out your TV set or computer, it’s worth remembering much of the current research focuses on excessive TV watching.Watching TV as a family can be a shared social event and , if you plan your viewing and do something different to look forward to together rather than having the TV on all the time ,it’s all about striking rig ht balance.Review and modify your family’s screen

about nearly a quarter of million dollars worth of expensive? A government report released on Tuesday says a middle income family with a child born last year will spend about $221,000 raising that child through to age 17.The report identified housing as the largest single expense, followed by food and childcare and education costs. The $221,000 in expenses rises to about $292,000 when adjusted for inflation(通货膨胀). Families with more income spend more money on child-related costs, the report said. A two-parent family that earns less than $57,000 annually will spend about $160,000 on a child from birth through high school. Those with an income between $57,000 and $99,000 spend about $221,000 and those with higher incomes are expected to spend roughly $367,000.Most single-parent households in the U.S. make less than $57,000 and are expected to spend about 7 percent less on child-rearing costs, compared to two-parent households in that same income group, according to the report. Costs of raising a child are highest in the urban northeast and lowest in the urban south and rural areas. The report helps courts and states determine child-support guidelines and foster care payments. It does not address costs specifically related to childbearing(分娩) and college.One of the largest changes over time has been the increase in costs related to caring for young children. The report was first issued in 1960, when such costs were largely very tiny, but with more working families turning to outside help with childcare, it has grown to be a significant expense for many families. The report does not give total costs related to early childcare. A mother of three Raben Andrews of St. Louis said the government figures sounded right to her. “well, that’s not half of it,” joked the 42-year-old public school teacher. “ I still have to put the children through college.”81.What does the author say in the first Paragraph ? (No more than 8 words) (2marks) 82.List three kinds of expenses of raising a child, according to the text. (No more than 11words)(2marks)83.What does the data in the second paragraph illustrate? (No more than 15 words) (3marks)84.Why have the costs related to care for young children increased over the years?(No more than 11 words) (3marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.《龟兔赛跑》都是大家儿时就耳熟能详的故事了,请大家发挥自己的想象,续写《第二次龟兔赛跑》这则故事,并谈谈从自己续写的故事中所领悟到的道理。

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)“I want to be just like you. You are from uptown, aren’t you?” the young实用文档man asked in the local slang with a broad smile unaware of the burning tropical sun. Selling bags of potatoes at the roadside, his extra-large T shirt and faded blue jeans were a proof to the universal influence of American pop culture in Africa. I had accepted a seat at his potato stand to take a break before concluding business in Accra that afternoon. Between busy sales serving customers stuck in traffic, he asked numerous questions about life in America, convinced that having a visa to the United States was like winning the lottery. How could I tell him that I envied his simple life and childish innocence when I was guilty of the silent culture that has helped to create a false image of Africans living abroad?Outwardly, I looked like the poster boy for success visiting from the United states. My white designer shirt and matching pants were straight from the shopping malls in Detroit, where I worked as an engineer. Inwardly, I was caught in a web of ambition and cultural disappointment. My clothes suggested wealthy, yet I could not afford the numerous requests for money or to make gifts of my belongings. Uncles and aunties who were prepared to mortgage their homes to help me leave 10 years ago now expected me to finance cousins hoping to make the same实用文档move to the United States.America had fulfilled my ambition for furthering my education and professional experience. I had arrived with the equivalent of a high-school diploma, and after 10 years, I hold a graduate degree and have a relatively successful professional career. Every inch of progress, however, had been achieved through exhausting battles. My college education had been financed partly through working multiple minimum-wage jobs. I was fortunate to secure a job upon graduation, but adjusting to corporate culture made me pay another high price. Initially, I found myself putting in twice the effort just to keep up. Scared by a wave of layoffs. I went to graduate school part time because it was only way I knew that afforded me an edge in job security. It was as though I had run 10 continuous marathons, one for each year abroad, and my body screamed for rest.66. In the eyes of the young potato seller, the author seemed __________.A. to be a successful manB. to have won a lotteryC. to represent American cultureD. to know a lot about the U.S.67. At the bottom of his heart, the author feels that ____________.实用文档A. he wants to exchange places with the young sellerB. he is sorry for his cousins still living in AfricaC. his American dream has e true.D. he is torn between the two cultures.68. The author managed to enroll in a graduate school because __________.A. studying graduate courses helped him adapt well to the life in the pany.B. a graduate degree was the minimum requirement for his career.C. a graduate degree would give him an advantage over others in the job market.D. he wanted to settle permanently in the U.S.69. Which of the following is closest to the main idea of the passage?A. An immigrant was accepted by the society after ten years of struggle.B. An African American returned home with fame and fortune.C. An immigrant returned home with an exhausted heart.D. An young African was climbing to the top of his career.(B)When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But whatare these really, and how do they operate?实用文档Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they fell they must, but the anger they fell will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at this or her best. If they associate you with this emotion of fear, they will bee less functional around you, and you will have ended up in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making every good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the workday; or we can employ him or her at the emotional level, so they bee fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation. Today’s work pl ace is all about relationships.Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they’re recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit实用文档more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the paycheck is not the single most motivating factor in the work life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that es from the confidence of emotional intelligence --- knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.70. An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place when ________.A. he thinks of his work as too heavyB. he is forced to do things.C. he cannot work at his best.D. He feels his brain shut down.71. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Smart people are more functional in the work place.B. People tend to associate leadership with fear.C. Working conditions do not affect people’s physical health.实用文档D. Good relationship is the key to business success.72. To positively influence employees, a leader should first of all ________.A. hide his own emotion of fearB. provide better suggestionsC. develop his own personalityD. give his employees a pay rise73. Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader’s ab ility to _________.A. deal wisely with employees’ emotions.B. provide a variety of projects for employees.C. help raise employee’s living standards.D. give employees specific instructions.(C)The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design students is to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.Major festivals such a Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tentsat the end of events each year. For his final year project at the University实用文档of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr. Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.The design won an award at he annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr. Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.To raise money for the idea, he toured the city’s pr ivate panies which fund new businesses and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint’s directors and won their support. Mint has mitted around 500,000 pounds to Myhabs and taken a share of 30 percent in Mr. Dunlo p’s business. The first should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.Mr. Dunlop said that the design, which acmodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up实用文档at the sites by the Myhabs team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the pany afterwards. They can be personalized and the pany will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior(外部的) advertising space.The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonbury having some 150,000 each year.

Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.What can Europeans teach Americans about increasing employment? Until the financial crisis of the last two years, the answer very clearly would have been “nothing.” The European social-democratic model has many advantages, but getting people into work and keeping them there has never the chief one among实用文档them. Until now, Much ink has been spilled in recent months over the fact that the American and European unemployment rates are both now roughly at about 10 percent, while a number of Northern European economies ---- including Germany (7.5 percent), Denmark (7.4 percent), Austria (5.4 percent) and the Netherlands (4 percent) ---- are well below that. Even as the U.S. international panies send jobs abroad, big European panies like Siements are adding them at home. Every day seems to bring news of a new factory being built in Denmark or Germany. News paper headlines announce the European “job miracle.” As American unemployment figures stay high, economists on both sides of the Atlantic are debating whether the U.S. should start adopting a more effective approach to labor policy.To answer this, it’s important to understand the nature of the “miracle” and whether it really works. European nations have kept unemployment figures low relative to the U.S. this time around be cause Europe’s labor markets hav e evolved to depend less on subsidies(补贴) that keep people on the dole (领取失业救济金) than on government programs to put them back to work quickly. Wha t’s more, rather than focusing simply on rescuing their economies by stimulus as实用文档the U.S. has, northern Europe has spent its resources keeping people at work ---- by any means necessary.In the Scandinavian countries, that has involved large and successful training programs to get laid-off workers back into jobs quickly. But other nations, namely Germany, jobs have also been kept by cutting hours rather than laying off workers, a number of European panies have chosen to cut full-time schedules by a third or more as part of larger government programs to avoid mass layoffs. panies save money on salaries because the government picks up the cost of the pa y cuts. It’s a successful tempo rary measure, but one that adds to the national debt and also has the potential to twist European labor markets. “These measures are successful now, but they could bee very risky if the recovery is delayed,” says economis t Paolo Guerrieri of the University of Rome.(Note: answer the questions or plete the statements in NO MORE THAN 15 WORDS) 78.

An eight -year-old girl who had only just learnt to swim saved a four-year-old boy from drowning in the sea. Because of this she has been 31 as a hero.Brave Amber Horton sprang into action after 32 her friend Kieran Martin slipping 33 rocks and falling into the water. Little Kieran couldn’t swim and 34 to keep his head above the water. 35 every bit of her strength, Amber swam over to the sticken child and 36him to the surface. Then she dragged him back to the shore at Lee-on-the-Solent, Hants.Amber said, “I had to Kieran to be very 37 but he just slipped. He can’t swim and his feet couldn’t touch the 38 of the sea. I swam over and grabbed him from the water.” Kieran was 39 shaken but suffered only cuts on his legs from the rocks. “I was very scared. I was 40 for a long time and hurt my legs on the rocks. Then Amber saved me,” said Kieran.The pair were at the seaside for an outing with their 41 . Amber, Kieran, his cousin Max,five, and his brother Dorminic, seven, had all wandered over to the water’s edge while their 42 family me mbers were in a nearby playpark.

Talks went smoothly but differencesremained. So Martin Bayer himself, the CEO of the German Company, come to Moscow to head the talks. Besides caring about his business, the CEO wanted to go to Russia to hunt bears.Martin Bayer was one of the greatest hunters of our time (and the Russians knew about it). He went to the Sahara more than hundred times and hunted lions, crocodiles; he hunted polar bears in the North Pole and tigers in the rain forests of India. But he had never hunted Russian bears.So the Russians decided to organize a bear hunt for Mr. Bayer to sweeten the talks. This wasn't a simple task. Some people in the west still believe that bears may be found and seen everywhere in Russian cities just like squirrels may be seen in our back yards. This is not true. The closest place one may find bears in the wild is maybe 2,500 miles away from Moscow. However, a solution was quickly found. The Russian businessmen went to Moscow Circus(马戏团)and for $2,000 bought a very old bear. This bear used to amuse and amaze audiences in many countries for 30 years, but got and looked too old, and was retired.“Be careful, the Russian bears are very dangerous, and frightening,” they told Mr. Bayer. “If compared to the Russian bears, your African lions are nothing more than harmless cats.” The bear was brought to a forest 50 miles from Moscow and was left there. Mr. Bayer was told that bears were plentiful in that forest and that many cattle and even people had been eaten in the surrounding villages.Meanwhile, an 18-year old female drove through the forest on a motorcycle and suddenly saw a bear (no bears had been seen in those places for 200 years). She was frightened, fell, left her helmet and her motorcycle and ran away.Mr. Bayer was excited and ready to hunt. This could become the most successful part of his extraordinary hunting experience. The next moment Mr. Bayer saw a bear in a helmet driving on a motorcycle through the forest in fro nt of him. The bear had a happy expression on his face, as he was doing something he had been doing in the circus for 30 years: circling on a motorcycle!Mr. Bayer lives in a private mental institution near Hamburg happily ever after. The equipment was never sold to Russia. It was sold to Iraq instead.51. Why did the Russians invite Mr. Bayer to hunt bears?A. Russian bears are famous for their cruelty.B. They managed to find a bear for hunting.C. They expected the trade to be successful.D. There was a bear in Moscow Circus.52. Why did the Russians say “Be careful, the Russian bears are very dangerous, and frightening”?A. To tell Mr. Bayer that many people had been killed by bears.B. To make Mr. Bayer feel the hunting really challenging.C. To warn Mr. Bayer to mind his safety while hunting.D. To tell Mr. Bayer that the bear is really dangerous.53. We can infer from the last paragraph that __________.A. Mr. Bayer has gone madB. the bear injured him badlyC. he has worked in a mental institution since thenD. the trade has gone smoothly between Russian and Iraq54. Which would be the best title of the passage?A. Mr. Bayer, a Brave HunterB. Russian Bears, Dangerous AnimalsC. Don’t Hunt in RussiaD. Don’t Deal with the RussiansBEvery kid wishes to be an adult. But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia.Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book!"Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University(韩国外国语大学). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He may be right.Tim Greenhalgh,a professor explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.55. We can infer from the article that _________.A. Kidults miss their childhood so much that they can't give up their toysB. Bloomsbury knows some kidults don't want people to know that they are kidultsC. Kidults like to have vitamins very muchD. Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them very much56. According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way except that _______.A. it can improve the relationship between parents and their kidsB. it can help kidults feel relaxedC. it is helpful to solve some social problemsD. it can make people loyal to one's parents57. According to the writer, _______.A. being a kidult is nothing wrongB. kidults have mental problemsC. our society is very dullD. some people can never grow upCYellowstone WeatherYellowstone National Park is at high altitude(海拔). Most of the park is above 7,500 feet (2,275 meters).Yellowstone's weather is unpredictable. In summer, it may be warm and sunny with temperatures in the high 70s. At night in any given month, the temperature may drop close to fre ezing. So it is best to come prepared for cold evenings and mornings, especially if you are camping or hiking. When you leave your campsite, please leave it prepared for possiblethundershowers and wind.A sunny warm day may become fiercely stormy with wind, rain, sleet and sometimes snow. Seasonal Weather InformationSpringCold and snow c ontinue into May, althoughtemperatures gradually climb. Early in spring,daytime temperatures average in the 40s to50s;by late May and June, they may reach the60s and 70s. Nighttime lows fall belowfreezing.FallNational Park.A. do research workB. take a business tripC. have sports gamesD. spend their holidays or take a tour59. Which of the following best describes Yellowstone's weather?A. Yellowstone's weather is generally changeable and it snows most of the year.B. It's neither too hot in summer nor too cold in winter.C. Weather in fall is pleasant and temperatures never fall below freezing.D. It's pretty warm in the day and very cool at night throughout the year.60. If you are planning to spend your holidays in Yellowstone National Park in summer, whatshould you take with you?A. Just some light clothing such as T-shirts or skirts.B. Just some warm clothing such as sweaters and coats.C. Both light clothing and warm clothing.D. Either light clothing or warm clothing.61. What does the underlined word "readings" refer to?A. literature worksB. booksC. announcementsD. figuresDWhen we found him, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were torn, his hands bleeding. Before we reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked unsteadily a few yards through the woods and fell again.After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senseswere so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night.We found him just in time.This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. Things would have been different if he had made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway or off a known path.Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it’s still largely a question of observation.A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes that the shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a river, and the way a tree leans across a path. With these in mind, he may be turned around many times, but he is seldom lost.There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man comes across some strange problem that puts him into the “lost” situation. A rainstorm or sudden blizzard may catch him without a compass(指南针)in his pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light.When this happens, the normal first reaction(反应)is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may consider it inconvenient to ask his friends for help. This false pride may lead him to keep on moving in a false effort to find his way against all difficulties.The person who thinks ahead is seldom in great danger. He’ll be safe if he observes carefully, thinks ahead, and remains calm.62. The author suggested that if the man had not been found, he would have __________.A. been shot by a gunB. become confusedC. been attacked by wild animalsD. been in great danger63. According to the passage, if a person gets lost in the forest, at the very beginning, hewould __________.A. worry about being laughed atB. push himself to find his way outC. feel it is convenient to ask for help from his friendsD. be concerned about being frightened by wild animals64. When a person tries to find his way in the woods, __________ is the most important.A. intelligenceB. observationC. directionD. chance65. The author tells the story of the lost man as an example of people who __________.A. go into the woods by themselvesB. don’t know how to signal for help properlyC. are frightened when they think they are lostD. notice everything when stepping from the highway第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。
