However, not all the p ersons know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and that is harmful to human health, too.People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf. Today, however, scientists believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened b y the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave（织）cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old persons, for these young people like to listen to pop music and most of pop music is a kind of noise. Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people’s life difficult and unpleasant, or even make people ill or even drive them mad.It is said that a continuous noise of over 85 decibels（分贝）can cause deafness. Now the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less than 85 decibels.In China, the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise pollution problems.56. The passage is mainly about ______ .A. air pollutionB. water pollutionC. noise pollutionD. world pollution57. According to the passage, a continuous noise of _______decibels can makepeople deaf.A. less than 85B. less than 65C. about 65D. more than 8558. 10 percent of the workers in Britain are being deafened because _______ .A. they are working in noisy placesB. they often listen to pop musicC. they live near airportsD. they are too busy to listen to others’talk59. The government of China is trying to reduce ______.A. only the air pollutionB. only the air and water pollutionC. only the water pollutionD. the air, water and noise pollutionBThese days, if you still think the cellphone is just for talking, you will get laughed at. Y es, it’s true, voice-only handsets have become out of date. Today’s do-it-all mobiles have a lot in common with the computer. The only difference may be that they fit in your pocket and you pay by the minutes to use them. Some of the things a cellphone can do for you will be available this year:Surf at speedCellphones that let you use the Web have been around for years. So, what’s new? Well, faster third-generation(3G) net works let you surf at anywhere. This then allows a carrier to send video, music, and games to your phone. Possible choices are from LG Electronic VX 8000 and Motorola V 1150.Listen as you goThe problem with most cellphone MP3 players is that they hold only a handful of songs. But, that’s about to change. Sony Ericsson’s new W800i can hold around 150 songs in its 500 MB memory. And Sumsung’s SPH-V5400 even comes with a 1.5 GB hard drive. Mobile phones may eventually replace mini-MP3 players, especially for teens.Say cheeseCamera cellphones are not new either. But, most of them have limitations: around 1-megapixel(百万像素). But new technology has made 2-megapixel units more common and 3-megapixel units are showing up soon. Some 2-megapixel models, like Sony Ericsson’s K750i, offer limited zoom and focus controls. Others, like LG’srecent MMA7110, can even capture 30 minutes of full- motion video.Portable TVY ou say you like ―watching TV‖? That’s what Sumsung MM-A700 wants to give you. The new model lets users watch popular TV programs—for a fee. Other choices are Nokia’s 6620, Sanyo’s MM 7400 and NEC’s N940.The NEC model lets you watch public TV—no fee.The above are just a handful of what you will see in the coming months. Further down the road, your mobile phone may play a host of other roles, such as mobile credit card, position locator… So what is there that a cellphone can’t do?60.Which of the following models should you choose to listen to the music?A.Sumsung’s SPH-V5400 and Nokia’s 6620B.Sony Ericsson’s W800i and Sumsung’s SPH-V5400C.Sony Ericsson’s W800i and NEC’s N940D.Sanyo’s MM7400 and NEC’s N94061.What’s the difference between NEC’s N940 and other models?A.It allows you to surf the Internet at a high speedB.It can capture 30 minutes of full-motion videoC.It can hold as many as 150 songsD.It lets you watch public TV for free62.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.All the functions of the models mentioned in the passage are completely newB.Camera cellphones of 3-megapixel units will appear soon.C.It is certain that a cellphone can do anything in the near futureD.Today’s do-it-all mobiles have nothing in common with the computer63.This passage may be___.A.an instruction to some new models of cellphonesB.an advertisement trying to persuade you to buy new cellphonesC. a science fiction trying to attract readers’ attentionD. a survey to find the development of cellphones.CWithout proper training, dogs will behave like wild animals. They will spoil your house, destroying your belongings, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfect normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at wrong thing.One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to train it. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it’s the foundation for solving just about any problems. Training opens us a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.Training is also an easy way to establish the social order. When your dogs obeys a simple request of ―Come here, sit‖, it is showing obedience and respect for you.. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack(群) by using extreme measures. Y ou can teach your dog its subordinate(从属的) role by teaching it to show obedience to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to accept that youare in charge.Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.64.Behavior problems of dogs are believed to___.A. get worse in modern societyB. occur only when they go wildC. be just part of their natureD. present a threat to society65.The primary purpose of obedience training is____.A.to enable the dog to regain its normal behaviorB.to make the dog aware of its owner’s authority（权威）C.to teach the dog to perform tricksD.to teach the dog to serve its owner66.Effective communication between a dog and its owner is___.A. an extreme measure in obedience trainingB. a good way to teach the dog new tricksC. the foundation for dogs to perform tasksD. essential(必不可少的) to solve the dog’s behavior problem67.Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?A. to show their willingness to obeyB. to show their affection for their mastersC. to avoid being punishedD.to win leadership of the dog packDThe young boy was sitting on the ground in the refugee(难民) camp playing with an empty tin. Other children were standing around watching him withenvious eyes.Envy? Of an empty tin?This tin was indeed no worthless piece of trash-----it was a splendid truck, complete with wheels and grille(铁棚) and floor. The vehicle even had remote control, a frayed piece of string from the ―engine‖ to the hand of the owner.The tin had lost all its original markings. But its first load had probably been sardine. Later the tin had been left with other rubbish behind the refugee camp clinic, and the boy had found it on one of his daily expeditions into the ―big world‖.For thousands of refugee children, a tin like this rates high on their list o f wants. It can be used for many purposes, as jewellery, as a toy, for drinking or asa medicine box.Many refugee children would consider it the happiest day of their lives if they received a handful of marbles(弹珠) as a present.They dream of gifts which children in developed countries take for granted.Maybe a book to read, or a pencil and an exercise book of their very own.Their imagination can create toys, but it can’t create books. Someone else must provide them. A more costly and valuable gift they can’t imagine.68.Other children envied the young boy because the boy .A.had a real truck toyB.got some sardines to eatC.received a handful of marblesD.had something to play with69. What is implied in the last paragraph of the text?A.The society should donate some toys for the refugee childrenB.The refugee children are more imaginative rather than creativeC.The society should offer the refugee children things for studyD.The refugee children are more creative rather than imaginative70. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.An Enviable Toy PresentB. A Splendid TruckC.Sardine Tin------A Precious ToyD. A Poor Refugee CampEHave you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? Y ou probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us, from earliest school days, have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.―On the contrary,‖says L. Giambra, an expert in psychology, ―daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn’t get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day---. Y ou can’t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialogues.‖Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illness. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinges, a professor, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinges says, ―We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures---. Daydreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life.‖Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand. It’s easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and found out a possible way of dealing with them.Daydreams cannot be predicted: they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.71. The writer of this passage considers daydreams __________.A. hard to understandB. important and helpfulC. harmful and unimportantD. the same as sleep dreams72. The writer quoted L. Giambra and Eric Klinges to ________.A. point out the wrong ideas of early expertsB. list out two different ideasC. support his own ideasD. report the latest research on daydreams73. Which of the following is true?A. An unconscious mind can work all the problems out.B. Daydreaming can give artists and scientists ideas for creations.C. Professor Eric Klinges has a better idea than L. Gimabra.D. Early experts didn’t understand what daydreams were.74. Experts now believe that ________.A. daydreams cause some mental illnessB. daydreams are not easy to control and directC. the more daydreams you have, the more you’ll achieve.D. people fear as long for daydreams75. What is the difference between daydreams and sleep dreams?A. People have daydreams and sleep dreams at different times.B. Daydreams are the result of unconscious mind while sleep dreams are that ofconscious mindC. Daydreams are easy to understand.D. Daydreams are more helpful in solving problems.第二卷（共25分）第一节根据首字母提示，写出下列句中所缺单词（每小题1分，满分10分）1. Billy crystal is my favourite stand-up c___________.2.

More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day. Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.A San Francisco start-up company called Rothy’s, however, turns this plastic waste into environmentally friendly shoes. Roth Martin is the company’s co-founder. He explains how they turn plastic into soft material for women’s feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces. Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers are then combined together. This is done by a 3D machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The knitted stuff and the inner part of the shoe are then attached to the shoe’s outer part, called the sole (鞋底). This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly material: responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.Rothy’s shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with either a rounded or pointed toe. They come in different colors and designs. They cost either $ 125 or $ 145 per pair, depending on the design. After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew. Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand. “We’re not going to run out of water bottles any time soon. So we have a limitless supply of material, and I think thatis a good sign for our future.” When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled materials to make other products.For now, the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States. However, the company says it will add international shipping in the near future.4．What does the underlined word knitted in the third paragraph mean?A．attached B．combinedC．fixed D．repaired5．Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothy’s shoes?A．The design and color.B．The reasonable price.C．The star power of Gwyneth Paltrow.D．The company’s advertisement.6．What is the purpose of the text?A．To introduce a new way of recycling plastic waste.B．To describe the process of making shoes.C．To advertise a new kind of shoes.D．To stress the importance of environmental protection.3.（8分）CThere was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers，he used two buckets(水桶).One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one，which had seen many years of service，but was now past its best.Every morning，the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path，one on each side，to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled. The old bucket felt very ashamed(惭愧的)because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds，much water had leaked(渗漏)along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say，"See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me water the flowers every day! I don’t know why he still uses you. What a waste of space you are!"And all that the old bucket could say was，"I know I am not very useful，but I can only do my best. I am happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me ，at least.’’One day，the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual，he said，"You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back，and I want you to look carefully along the path."Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed，on the side where the new bucket was carried，there was just bare earth；on the other side where the old bucket was carried，there was a joyous row of wild flowers，leading all the way to the garden.7．What was the old bucket ashamed of?A．Its past.B．Its aging.C．Its manner.D．Its leaking. 8．What does the underlined word "dilapidated" probably mean?A．Dirty.B．Dark.C．Worn out.D．Ordinary-looking.9．The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to________.A．take pity on the old one B．laugh at the old oneC．show off its good look D．praise the gardener's kindness10．Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A．Because it was used to keep a balance.B．Because it stayed in its best condition.C．Because it had its own advantage.D．Because it was thought of as a treasure.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）4.（10分）二：七选五（每小题2分，满分10分）When the winter comes, millions of Americans realize they don’t feel as happy as usual, and may be depressed If you’re one of them, you may be suffering from “seasonal affective disorder” or SAD, whose symptoms include exhaustion, difficulty concentrating, sleep problems, body aches and pains, and a loss of interest in activities you normally enjoy. 11．Take extra Vitamin D．Researchers at the University of Georgia analyzed more than 100 articles that examined the link between Vitamin D and depression. They found that a lack of Vitamin D appeared to be a major factor in the development of SAD．12．13．Most researchers agree that the people who fall victim to SAD most often are particularlysensitive to the lack of light.

Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane emergency.The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers’ eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one that’s completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide,” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.”The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (小斑点) as your sight adjusts toa dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about20 to 30 seconds to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your “dark adaptation” timesince you haven’t been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯) all flight.Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, but it reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. “It helps keep you in the right direction.” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. “It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, that might affect an escape.” So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know it’s for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your takeoff into the sky. 4．The lights are turned down before takeoff to help passengers_______.A．escape in time of emergencyB．take a short breakC．create a comfortable atmosphereD．enjoy themselves5．Which of the following is true according to Paragragh 2 and 3?A．Dimming lights is required when accidents happen.B．Our eyes need some time to adapt to the change of light.C．Speckles are caused by the use of dimmed lights.D．It is required for pilots to turn off lights during the flight.6．What is the function of shortening “dark adaptation” time?A．Slowing down the landing.B．Adjusting the plane lights.C．Keeping passengers calm.D．Helping the crew judge outside risks.7．What is the text mainly about?A．A tip to make air travel safer.B．An emergency event happening on a plane.C．An explanation of an airline safety measure.D．A warning message from the pilot.3.（8分）CHundreds of villagers took matters into their own hands by digging miles of trenches（沟壕）to install their own cables(电缆). The tiny village in Michaelston-y-Fedw, with a populationof 300, clubbed together after being unable to download films, stream music or connect to online banking. Farmers, teachers and even the village pub owners put in thousands of hours of volunteering to dig miles of trenches and now have super fast broadband(宽带).The project cost around ￡250,000 with villagers paying￡150,000 of their own money to secure their super fast connection speed. They were also able to obtain￡100,000 from EU funding and the Welsh Government Access Broadband Cymru scheme.The idea was produced in the local pub when villagers were complaining about their Wi-Fi connections. Ben Longman, owner of the Cefn Mably Arms, said, “We were in the pub and we were all complaining about how bad the Wi-Fi was. I had just paid for high speed broadband and realized it would not work.”One of the organizers, Carina Dunk, 61, said it was fantastic what the village had achieved. She said, “It used to take a few days to download a film; now it takes less than a minute. Communities have tended to be more distant and separated but not here anymore. Sometimes we have to take a step back and achieve something.”A year after the project, most of the 300 villagers are now united in a 1,000mps broadband connection.However, Richard Raybould, 59, is still waiting for his house to be connected on the edge of the village and said he cannot wait. He said, “It is amazing what skills people in the community have. There are experts and farmers who dig trenches. I have met at least 30 people who I had never spoken to before.”8．What can we learn about the villagers?A．They had no access to the Internet.B．They usually didn’t have much free time.C．They didn’t know how to use the Internet correctly.D．They considered their Internet connection disappointing.9．To have their own cables, the villagers had to_______.A．partly cover the costB．employ workers to dig trenchesC．donate ￡100,000 to EU fundingD．get the local government’s permission10．What does the author intend to do by mentioning Carina Dunk’s words?A．Explain the cause of the project.B．Explain the process of the project.C．Show the benefits from the project.D．Show the villagers’ attitudes toward the project.11．What would be the best title for the text?A．Villagers obtain access to the InternetB．Villagers dream of super fast broadbandC．Villagers volunteer to install super fast broadbandD．Villagers are suffering from bad Wi-Fi connections4.（8分）DWhy are photos and videos of cats high-fiving suddenly popping up on social media?Ask Jackson Galaxy, who launched Cat Pawsitive last year, a program that encourages animal shelters to teach cats how to do tricks to make them more attractive for adoption.The idea is simple. A kitty that can sit on command or give a high five shows that it can listen to instructions and connect with others. A high five can make a shy cat open up, Galaxy said.“Big life changes can lead to cats losing their confidence, and we help those cats to feel more confident and to feel safe interacting with new people.” Christie Rogero, program manager for Cat Pawsitive, said.And Stephen Holdeman, training manager at the KC Pet Project, added: “All we need to train a cat to do tricks is the right amount of patience, timing and motivation.” He uses a technique called “operant conditioning (操作性条件反射)”, which associates a cat’s action with getting a reward such as a favorite food or treat.He also uses a clicker—a training device that makes a clicking noise. “In the initial stage, we get the cat used to the idea that when it hears the sound of the clicker, one of its favorite treats appears. After we have bridged these two ideas together we can use the clicker to reinforce different actions the cat does to let it know that if it repeats the action, it will get a treat.”After several repetitions, the cat starts to link everything together. Now all you need to do is let your extended hand be the target, and we’ve got a high five.12．According to the text, how can learning tricks benefit cats at animal shelters?A．It is a good way for shelters to raise money.B．It allows them to pick up skills to stay safe.C．It helps them interact more with each other.D．It helps them build confidence and get adopted.13．According to the text, what should be done from the start to train cats to learn tricks? A．Teaching them different actions.B．Teaching them how to use a clicker.C．Making them patient enough to repeat actions.D．Helping them connect the sound of a clicker with treats.14．What does the underlined word “reinforce” in paragraph 6 probably mean?A．record B．strengthenC．ignore D．reward15．What is the main purpose of the article?A．To explain how to train cats to perform tricks.B．To show how cats are treated at animal shelters.C．To describe the popularity of cats on social media.D．To inform us of a program that trains cats to do tricks.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）5.（10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的A-G选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

An advertisementD. A business planBWhen rabbits first crossed into Western Australia (WA) from South Australia (SA), their progress seemed surprisingly fast.Thomas Austin, an English settler in Australia, first released wild rabbits from England in 1859, at Winchelsea in southern Victoria of Australia. By 1891, 32 years later, they’d reached Fowlers Bay on South Australia’s southwest coast about 1,250 km away--- covering an average of 40 km a year. But just five years later, in 1896, they were spotted 640 km further west in Twilight Cove, south of Cocklebiddy, in WA--- spreading, on average, at 130 km a year.How did they more than triple(使增至三倍) their previous rate? With help, it seems, from humankind. In his 1969 book, They All Ran Wild, farmer-author Eric Rolls described rabbits as generally unadventurous. They’d much prefer a stable life in a safe place with a familiar community than to be travelling. Only floods, food shortage or very serious overcrowding force them to move.By the 1880s rabbits were spreading through SA and humans were helping them. People released rabbits for sport, food or to remind them of the old country. And they killed possible predators(食肉动物) such as wedge- tailed eagles and dingoes. Eric Rolls wrote, swaggies(流浪汉) were the main human helpers. “In that container as they walked west out of South Australia was often a nest of three-week-old rabbit kittens completely furred and beautiful, to be set down at agood big rock-hole with some grass about it.”The rabbits’westward speed from the border put an end to any idea that WA’s bad environment would block the invasion. They stuck close to what’s now the Eyre Highway, then moved southward to follow the better vegetated coastline. About the same time further north, rabbits were pouring into WA from the Northern Territory.Rabbits reached the west coast in 1907, the year the third fence was completed. The following year, when a WA Rabbit Department official visited the Kalbarri end of the fence, he found rabbits up and down the coast on both sides of it.25. What do we know about the first rabbits in Australia?A. They escaped from a house.B. They were from Western Australia.C. They were set free by human beings.D. They were born at Winchelsea.26.How did Eric Rolls describe rabbits?A. They had a habit of changing places.B. They didn’t like taking risks.C. They had a liking for travelling.D. They could hardly survive floods.27. Why did people think rabbits could not reach Western Australia at the beginning?A. The distance was too long.B. The rock holes were not good shelter.C. The natural conditions were poor.D. The coastline was not their favorite place.28. What did the WA Rabbit Department official find out?A. Rabbits had invaded the west coast.B. Rabbits were jumping over the fence.C. Kalbarri was the end of the fence.D. The third fence was damaged.CA primary school in Britain has put up signs to warn parents, who are addicted to playing with their phones, to greet their children with a smile rather than stare at their screens. It has become a common sight at the school gates to see children running up to their parents, only to find their parents are absorbed in reading news online, reading e-books, or watching their favorite videos.Now the headmaster at a primary school in Middlesbrough has put up the signs at all three entrances to the school. The signs say, “Greet your child with a smile, not a mobile.” And under the words, a picture of a woman holding a phone to her ear is crossed out in a red circle. The headmaster said, “We are trying to develop students’ speaking and listening skills and we think it is a simple way to get the message across. It isn’t only an i ssue among parents, but it also emphasizes that speaking and listening can help students to have discussions.”The move had different responses. Danielle Parker, a parent, said, “I think the signs are unacceptable because most parents pick their children u p with phones. ” Another parent said, “It’s a good thing. Greeting children with smiles can also develop the relationship between parents and children.” Some parents when questioned were hesitant about the signs. Lindan Bradley, a pupil at the school, said he agreed with the signs, saying, “Why should children see parents playing their mobile phones all the time?”Last year, research warned that parents’ devotion to cellphones had made some neglected children start primary school unable to hold conversations. Almost a third of children are not ready for the classroom when they start school.29. Why did the school put up signs at its entrances?A. To encourage parents to meet pupils with smiles.B. To describe a common sight of its school gates.C. To remind pupils to be careful while walking.D. To introduce the primary school to parents.30. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Playing with the phones.B. Greeting children.C. Putting up sighs.D. Smiling.31. What’s the third paragraph mainly about?A. Parents’ attitude to the school.B. Mixed opinions about the signs.C. Ideas from pupils of this school.D. Comments on playing with phones.32. What maybe the effect of parents’ devotion to playing phon es?A. It may reduce pupils’ time spent on phones.B. It may discourage students from working hard.C. It may make students be addicted to computer games.D. It may cause children to lack the ability of communication.DWhen I got off the bus in Mae Hong Son in Thailand, I still felt a bit dizzy after all the curves(弯道) when coming from Chiang Mai. But when I burst into the small night market and got the astonishing view of the temple, the lights sparking in the lake right in front of it made the hardship of the bus ride a distant memory.During my six-week voluntary work, this became my favorite place. The sunsets, lights, and delicious food always drew me closer. Actually this temple turned out to be my place of living for my stay in Mae Hong Son.Thanks to Travel-to-Teach, I got the opportunity to live in a small room inside the temple area and meet all the friendly Thais who lived and worked there. Around noon I would walk down the 213 steps to go to school, where all the monks(和尚) were happy to catch as many English words or phrases as they could. After school I would walk around the town to explore the market, the shops or simply the countryside. But the 213 steps waited for me at the end of the day! I usually walked them up happily, because I knew savory and traditional Thai-Yai food was waiting for me.The town itself had a special charm for me. It was the right place to escape the busy and touristy atmosphere of Chiang Mai and learn about Thai culture and language. It also turned out to be a good starting point for weekend activities, such as visiting hot springs, local villages, hiking or taking a trip to Pai. At the same time, the teaching was very rewarding. I found how fun it could be to teach students English when they became interested and got involved.I found it very sad to leave this little paradise(乐园) after spending six weeks there. And there was still a curvy bus ride waiting for me, which was the only uncomfortable fact during my stay in Mae Hong Son. Come and find on your own.33. Which word can best describe the author’s bus ride from Chiang Mai to Mae Hong Son?A. Painful.B. Meaningful.C. Interesting.D. Relaxing.34. What does the underlined word “savory” in the third paragraph most probably mean?A. Famous.B. Delicious.C. Poor.D. Terrible.35. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. The aim of Travel-to-teachB. The peaceful life in ThailandC. The development of tourism in Chiang MaiD. My voluntary service in Mae Hong Son第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

How many people questioned don't play with their children?A. 1280.B. More than 333.C. 654.D. About 420.62.

But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh（刻薄的）and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem（自尊）and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.65. The main idea of the first paragraph is that .A. words have a lasting effect on usB. inspiring words give us confidenceC. negative words may let us downD. not sticks and stones but words will hurt us66. There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because .A. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvesB. talking to ourselves always gives us courageC. we can benefit from talking to ourselvesD. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone67. The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely .A. remind ourselvesB. praise ourselvesC. make ourselves relaxedD. give ourselves amusement68. The author would probably hold the view that .A. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offersB. negative words may motivate us to make more progressC. people tend to remember friendly wordsD. it is better to think twice before talking to othersCFlying across the globe, whether on business or for leisure, is usually effortless——you just have to book your ticket, pack your bags and show up at the airport with your passport.

He walked in the streets of Brooklyn day after day with his favourite music blasting directly into his ears. By his early 20s, Michael had lost much of his upper-range hearing.The children’s Hearing Institute reports th at hearing loss among children and young adults is rising in the United States, and that one-third of the damage is caused by noise.Surrounded by NoiseWe live in a noisy world. Young and old alike are beset by sounds over which we may have little or no control: power mowers, leaf blowers, snow blowers, car and house alarms, sirens, motorcycles, Jet Skis, loudspeakers, even movie previews.We attend rock concerts, weddings, parties and sports events at which the music is so loud you can hardly hear the person sitting next to you. At home, televisions, stereos and computer games are often turned up so loud that listeners cannot hear a doorbell or a telephone. Many “modern” restaurants have chosen noisy enhancement instead of abatement (减轻). Any time you need to shout to be heard by someone near you, your hearing is most likely to be in a decibel (分贝) danger zone.As if environmental noise were not enough, now we surround children with noisy toys and personal listening devices that can permanently damage their hearing. Toys that meet the safety standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials can produce sound up to 138 decibels, as loud as a jet taking off. Yet workplace rules require hearing protection for those exposed tonoise above 85 decibels.Introduction A boy lost much of his hearing due to being 1. __________ to headphones. Problem More and more children have suffered hearing 2. .3. of the problem ·Environmental noise from:a) power mowers, leaf blowers, snow blowers, etc;b) the music at rock concerts, weddings, parties and sports events which4. __________ us hearing someone nearby;c) televisions, stereos and computer games 5. __________ than doorbellsor telephone calls;d) “modern” restaurants.·Noise from:toys and listening devices which cause 6.__________damage to hearing.7.to the problem ·Monitor the volume of toys.·8. __________ gifts making loud noise.·Limit children’s time spent in video arcades.·9. __________ taking children to loud action movies.六、单词拼写（11分）3.Mary got a t______________ job in summer holidays.

My father was a man of few words. Whenever I wanted his permission for a certain activity, I planned a speech that included who would be there, where it would take place, how long it would last, and why it was an incredibly wonderful opportunity for me. He would listen and then say either “Yes”or “No.”There were never any qualifiers; not “Yes, but be home by dinner” or “No, unless you can convince me otherwise.” It was yes or no, plain and simple.My father’s phone messages were also lessons in patience and long-suffering to a teenage girl. I was quite active in high school. Not only did I enjoy being involved in many areas, but I came into contact with many a great teenage guy. I can recall one busy day when I had met two great guys and had given each of them my phone number. The first words out of my mouth when I walked through the front door were, “Dad! Did anyone call?” His answer, of course, was simply, “Yes.” I required for a more accurate description of the caller. His answer: “A boy.”Since I had met two guys that day, this did not help me. I ran to my room in tears.Knowing my dad’s dislike of language in gener al and his fondness for briefness, it surprised me to hear that he was going to teach the eleven-year-old boys’ Sunday school class. He did so for not one, but many years. I always wondered if he actually said anything, or if they all just sat in their chairs and stared at each other. I was sure that if people were waiting on my father to break the ice with brilliant conversation or a springboard comment, they’d be badly disappointed. Still, September after September, my father hung his sign outside the Sunday school room: Mr. Ernst--Eleven-Year-Old Boys.41. In order to get Dad to agree to the author’s outing, the author had to make up the following EXCEPT________A.The friends I shall meet in the activity.B.The activity is a chance for anyone.C.The place where the activity is to be held.D.The time that I shall spend in the activity.42. When the author says “My father’s phone messages were also lessons in patience and long-suffering to a teenage girl”, it means that when she was young __________.A. her father once gave her a lesson about patience and long-lasting pain.B. her father’s brief phone messages angered her a lot but made her patient.C. she was trained to be patient and brave because of her father’s brief phonemessagesD. she suffered and ha d to be patient because of his father’s brief phone messages.43. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “break the ice”?A. make the ice crackB. stop talkingC. start a talkD. interrupt a talk44. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. My father would answer me with “Yes, but be home by dinner” sometimes.B. I came into contact with just a few great teenage guys because I was active inhigh school.C. That my father would teach the eleven-year-old boys’ Weekday school classsurprised me.D. I always wanted to know how my father, who talked so little, taught the boys.45. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Man of Few Words.B. My Great Father.C. A Strange Father.D. Man for Respect.BHey there,So you’re about to spend four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars of your parents’ money, and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why you’re going?Relax. You’re making the right decision. First of all, you’ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, it’s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you’ve never painted any pictures; once you’re in a drawing-room on campus, you’ll know one way or the other. College is also a lot of fun —after you graduate, you’ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduates earn about twice the income of those who never attended college.Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.* Researching Schools. To us, the most important decision you’ll make is to choose the school that really fits you best — not the one that is the most competitive or has the best-equipped rooms.* Applying to School. On , you’ll find hundreds of actual college applications (申请) and links to many more.* Raising Your Scores. American College Test is one of the most important parts of the admissions (录取) course. It’s not the most important, though, and not everyone needs to prepare for the best. But, if you think you can do better, find theright course for better scores.* Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid. If you really do your research, you’ll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost.For more information, call 600-3681 or visit Johnson .

Which of the following will the author agree?A. Johnson Review can help you find the right college easier.B. The most important part for college admission is the College Test.C.

To suggest ways to prepare for college learning.B. To help readers find the right college.C. To make Johnson Review popular.D. To introduce college life.CWhat is Home-stay? Literally it is a home for you to stay when you are not home. To be specific, home-stay provides foreign language students with the opportunity to speak native language outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a local home. Here is what you will experience in our British Home-stay Program. What to ExpectThe host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Accommodation ZonesHomestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre (Zone 1) as much of central Londonis commercial and not residential(居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer smaller accommodation in a more crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.Meal Plans Available◆Continental Breakfast◆Breakfast and Dinner◆Breakfast, Packed Lunch and DinnerIt’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal(谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee. FriendsIf you wish to inv ite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.Self-Catering Accommodation in Private HomesAccommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student.

The product was tested at the Saarbrücken Institute for New Materials.It is worth mentioning that the invention is transparent and non-poisonous. The liquid glass can protect any type of surface from damages caused by water, UV radiation, dirt, heat, and bacterial infections. Besides, it is flexible and breathable, which means that the liquid glass can be applied on plants and seeds as well. Researchers found that the spray greatly increases the resistance of plants to bacteria-caused diseases. The trials also showed that the sprayed seeds grew faster.Depending on the type of surface that is to be covered, researchers can add water or ethanol to the spray. Scientists say that their latest invention has a long-lasting anti-bacterial effect. The spray produces a coating that is just 100nm thick. Trials by food processing plants in Germany have concluded that foods covered with the glass can store longer than those stored in normal condition.According to Neil McClelland, UK project manager with Nanopool, due to its capabilities, the spray-on liquid glass can become one of the most useful inventions around the world, ending up being used by a lot of industries that will cover their products. At present, the invention is being used by a train company and a hotel chain in the UK, as well as a hamburger chain in Germany that are carrying out tests of the liquid glass for various uses.The spray-on liquid glass was also tested in a Lancashire hospital, where it showed “very promising”results, being used to cover medical equipment and bandages. The invention could be also used on clothing, because it cannot be seen by the naked eye, thus clothes could become stain resistant. Due to its unique characteristics, the liquid glass can be used to cover bathrooms, sinks and many other surfaces in the home. According to the researchers, the spay-on glass can last for a year. It is expected to hit the DIY stores across Britain at a price of 5 pounds.6. Which of the following about the liquid glass is NOT true?A. We can still see an object clearly covered with the liquid.B. It will cause plants to have some kind of disease.C. Plants still have access to oxygen when covered by it.D. It can speed up the growth of seeds.57. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 imply?A. Water or ethanol must be added to the spray to produce the effect.B. The coating of the spray-on liquid is thick.C. The liquid glass can protect foods from bacteria.D. The long-lasting anti-bacterial effect protects the liquid glass.58. According to Neil McClelland, the spray-on liquid glass _________.A. are being tested by some industriesB. are being used by various companiesC. can be eaten together with hamburgersD. are widely used by train companies59. The writer’s attitude towards the application of the new liquid glass is _________.A. pessimisticB. doubtfulC. cautiousD. optimistic60. What can be inferred from the passage?A. We don’t have to wash our clothes with the new invention.B. The liquid glass can be used to wash yourself in the bathroom.C. The DIY stores will not welcome the liquid glass.D. The liquid glass will be widely used in many fields.三、书面表达（共两小节，50分）第一节单词短语(单词每空1分，句型转换每空0.5分，共10分)61. An a ________________ country is always ready to start a war.62. The keys are here.

According to a study whichwas published on March 16 in the journal PLOS Genetics, people who live in a placewith warm and moist conditions commonly have wider noses while those that live in cold and dry locations have narrower noses.Mark Shriver, a geneticist and anthropologist（人类学家)at Pennsylvania State University, together with his team of international researchers from the United States,Ireland and Belgium, measured and compared noses across populations using 3D facial imaging.The study is not the first one to identify the relationship between nose shape and air temperature and moisture content. However, it is the first one to use nose measurement from actual people.“Many people have tested the question with measurements of the skull, but no one had done measurements on live people, " said lead author Mark Shriver from Pennsylvania State University.As reported by Science Recorder, all in all, faces of 476 from four geographical locations —West Africa, East Asia, South Asia and Northern Europe were used in the study. However, their ancestry genetic measurements were also taken into consideration.The researchers concluded that while the differences in nose shape were indeed inluenced by genetie drift, which refers to the change in frequency of certain genes due to deaths and movement of people across borders,natural selection also played its role.Narrower nasalpassages assist in increasing the moisture content of air and warm it.Since peopl e with narrower ones adapted better,they survived more and therefore produced more offspring. As such,there is a gradual decrease in people with wider nose in the area.24.People in the South of China generally tend to________.A.have wider noseB.have narrower noseC.be more easygoingD.enjoy dry and cold weather25.How did Marker's researchers do their research?A.By studying the skulls.B.By doing research online.C.By measuring noses of the people.D.By offering more moisture for people26.Which of the following can influence nose shapes?A.Body height.B.Local tradition.C.Local climateD.Body weight.27.What are people with narrow nose able to do?A.Raise more of their children.B.Adapt to cold weather better.C.Survive in hot weather conditionsD.Keep their ancestry from their parents.8.（8分） CKannisto and her six sons visited a local barber' s shop to have their hair cut and donatedit to an organization that provides hair replaeements for kids with medically related hair loss.Kannisto has a l0-year-old son, Andre, 8-year-old twin sons, 5-year old triplets and a 2-year-old daughter.Kannisto said the motivation behind the haircuts was personal for the whole family.“Three years ago, my friend lost her son to cancer, " she said.“He was a twin and very close in age to my twins. On the first anniversary of his passing. my three oldest boys donated theirhair in his memory. Since their donation two years ago, our lives have continued to be touched by cancer. It's everywhere. My boys want to help, and donating their hair is how they do it.”Her three oldest sons participated in donating for the first time in 2015.The donation afew days ago marked the first time her triplets were able to contribute. Kannisto said they waited until everyone’s hair reached the minimum length for donations before they all got their haircuts. It took quite some time for everyone to be ready.Andre grew his hair out for a year, the twins grew their hair for almost two years and the triplets grew their hair for five years. They're already planning their next donation, too, since their little sister wants to participate.Her hair wasn't long enough to donate this time.She said her sons had been teased a lot for their long hair since they decided to grow it outand donate it. They explain the process of hair donation to their peers, but some of them just don't get it. Luckily, her sons have developed “a thick skin” and ignore the criticism,knowing they 're helping others in need.Kannisto is “so proud” of her boys and thinks that their mission is“amazing.”28. What does the underlined word “triplets”in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Three sons.B.Many relatives.C. Kids with hair loss.D. Children with caneer.29.What is the reason for Kannisto's sons donating their hair?A.Both fame and wealth.B. Their personal cure to cancer.C. Their memory of a lost friend.D. Modeling themselves on their parents.30.Why did the Kannistos have to wait before the donation?A. The little sister's hair was too short.B. Every child's hair grows at different rates.C. It's long before somebody wants their hair.D. They must find a right barber to have their hair cut.31. What is Kannisto's children's attitude towards others'tease?A. Inspired.B. Annoyed.C. Desperate.D. Indifferent.9.（8分）DWhether a single parent or otherwise, bringing up a child can be quite a discouraging experience as well as being a lot of fun. As a parent myself, I wanted my child to have the lifeI never had, so I enrolled my daughter in all types of activities such as dancing, piano lessons，theatre groups and sports acti vities. I had her privately tutored for maths and even looked into private schooling. While all of this is good for developing a child's confidence, it's no guarantee that the child will grow to fit your expectations in later life.In some cases a child may inwardly resent(憎恶)the pressure of being involved in so many things all at once, and become bored over a period of time. One of the best ways toreally encourage your child to do well in life is to be the example for them. Children usually follow in the footsteps of their parents or at least one of them.This is how family businesses are handed down through generations.Believe it or not, the parent is the greatest mentor(导师)and influence in the life of a child. It's interesting to note that they judge their own measure by that of their parents even if they don't get along with them, it takes place unconsciouslyYoung minds will follow their mentors such as parents and teachers. So it's not surprising that if you sign yourself into adult education classes.chances are your child will be keen to follow you even if it' s later in their life.Leading by example is the best way to educatechildren of all ages.It's not difficult when children get to know your movements.Children will almost always judge themselves on what their parents do. The strongest influences are in and around what you do in the home and even outside of it, so make sure your ticking all the right boxes yourself and it's a win situation.32 According to the text, what the author had done for her daughter ________.A. proved to be of little valueB. resulted in great suecessC. greatly influenced her later lifeD. cost the author too much money33. How are some family businesses handed down from parents to children?A. Children are interested in the businesses.B. Children follow in the parents'footsteps.C. Parents allow the children to run the businesses.D. Children have received enough education.34. How should we educate our children?A.Read to them successful storiesB. Set good examples to them.C. Find them qualified mentorsD. Let them gain different experienees35. Why should parents behave themselves well?A. Children hate too much pressures on them.B. Children can never believe themselves easily.C. Children know little about their movements.D.Children will follow their examples.三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）10.（10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。

One such important image is that of the door gods. These ancient religious figures are said to guard the entrances to buildings and homes, keeping evil spirits out and welcoming good fortune in The tradition of hanging door god images began in the Tang Dynasty when theTang emperor himself was inflicted with a bout of insomnia. Believing that he was being harassed_by a ghost at night, the emperor asked two of his most loyal generals to guard the door and keep the ghost away. The emperor was so satisfied with his good night’s sleep the next day that he ordered the images of the two generals be painted on the door permanently.Unsurprisingly, the two most often portrayed door gods are the two Tang generals, Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde. Qin Shubao, who is most often seen carrying swords, has very pale skin, while Yuchi Jingde has much darker skin and wields one or several batons. Other door gods include Shen shu, who carries a battle axe and Yu lei with a mace. These two gods are mythological famous for chasing away the demons that were destroying the Jade emperor’s peach trees.According to tradition, images of door gods must be placed on either side of an entranceway in pairs. The two figures must face one another rather than standing back-to-back, which is believed to be bad luck. Original forms of the door god images were made from woodblock prints. Today though, posters and pictures of door gods are available in small shops and stores around China. Despite the waning tradition of door god imagery, some families still believe strongly in the presence of door gods to protect their homes from evil.51.what are n’t mentioned in the passage about these ancient religious figures’functions?A.

But what are these really，and how do they operate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. Even if this is possible，it is short-term，and tends to produce unexpected and unwanted results. If you order someone to do something against their will，they may do it because they feel they have to，but the anger they feel 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 his or her best. If they connect you with this emotion of fear，they will become less functional around you，and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot，but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear does no good to 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，whichmay be part of the work day；or we can employ them at the emotional level，so they will become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation. Today’s work place is all about relationships.Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they’re r ecognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most important factor in the work life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes 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 relationship with people around you，which is the key to the leadership skills.55．The writer thinks that it is not ________for us to connect leadership with strength and power.A．possible B．necessary C．easy D．effective 56．People may NOT be working hard when________.A．they’re regarded as human beingsB．they like their leadersC．money is taken as the most importantD．leaders understand the way thing s work57．From the passage，we can conclude that ________is the key to making a good leader.A．developing one’s emotional intelligenceB．influencing others in one’s own wayC．producing some unexpected resultsD．having confidence in one’s ability58．This passage is most helpful to those who________.A．have strength and power B．are going to make a speechC．would like to be leaders D．are to be excellent employeesCIt is true that we are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money.Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives：Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1. 000,invest（投资）it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time she is 65,she would have $980,983!Be careful of credit. Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150. Rather than paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside, say, $15 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.Provide incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving. “For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot,” says Cathy Pareto, expert in money planning.Explain your values. Values and money are deeply intertwined, says Eilleen Gallo, co-author of The Financially Intelligent Parent. When your child demands that you buy something, explain why you really don’t want to buy it. “You might say, ‘I’d rather savethat money for your education,” advises Gallo. Every time you spend or don’t spend money, you have a chance to share your values.59. The writer gives some basics to help ______ in a proper way.A. parents teach their children how to deal with moneyB. children follow their parents’ instructionsC. children manage their moneyD. parents save their money60. The writer thinks that, if a child wants to buy something, his parentsshould_______.A. give him some regular pocket moneyB. encourage him to put money away for itC. explain to him the importance of investmentD. tell him to save some money by using a credit card61. The underlined word “incentive” in paragr aph 6 means _______.A. honorB. praiseC. excitementD. encouragement62. What leads the writer to write this article?A. Parents want to know how to educate their children.B. He wants to share his good ideas about money matters.C. He thinks money management the most important for childrenD. Parents care little about their children’s management of money.DAs we know, money talks. They mean that a person with a lot of money can say how he or she wants things done. But it is not easy to earn enough money to gain this kind of power. Anyone in a business will tell you that it is a jungle(丛林)out there. This expression is probably used because the jungles is filled with wild animals and unknown dangers. Sometimes people in business feel competing businesses are as dangerous as wild animals.People in business have to be careful if they are to survive the jungle out there. They must not be led into making bogus investments(投资). The word bogus began to appear in American newspapers in the 1800s. A newspaper in Boston, Massachusetts said the word came from a criminal(罪犯) whose name was Borghese. Borghese wrote checks to people although he did not have enough money in the bank. After writing the checks, he would escape from the town. So, people who were paid with his checks received nothing. The newspaper said Americans shortened and changed his name Borghese to bogus.People trying to earn money also must know about being ripped off. A person who is ripped off has had something stolen, or at least has been treated very unfairly. A writer for the magazine said he first saw expression used on a sign that a student carried in a university. The message on the sign was that the student felt ripped off, or cheated. Perhaps the best way to prevent getting ripped off in business is not to try to get rich quickly.63. This passage is mainly written to _______________.A. explain several expressions related to moneyB. tell us some skills of learning EnglishC. tell us the secret of how to make moneyD. teach us how to get new expressions about money64. People compare doing business to being in a jungle because____________.A. doing business is as exciting as living in a jungleB. businessmen are dangerous as animals in a jungleC. doing business is as difficult as living in a jungleD. businessmen are as careful as people living in a jungle65. If you have been ripped off, it probably means ___________.A. you have been treated wellB. you have earned much moneyC. you have had something stolenD. you have left something somewhere66. If we say something is bogus, we probably mean that it is not________.A. realB. beautifulC. goodD. newEThe largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter, was struck by 21 pieces of comet(彗星) In July 1994.When the fragments(碎片)landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientist here on earth. But what if our own planet was hit by a comet?The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the earth. The news has caused panic.On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the earth’s atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The waves move into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia.Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the earth, but the north won’t escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmospher e by the explosions. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived.Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the earth. The dinosaurs(恐龙)were on the earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believed that the earth was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldn’t survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end?67. According to the passage, what disasters will happen in 2094?A. The whole world becomes extremely cold.B. The visit of the comet results in warC. The civilization of mankind becomes extinctD. About of all68. What’s the reason why the dinosaurs disappeared in the passage?A. Because they are hit by a space fragment.B. Because the climate is too cold for them to survive.C. Because dinosaurs and humans never live at the same timeD. Because the disasters cause the extinction.69. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To describe the possible disaster in the future accurately.B. To announce that a comet is heading towards the earth.C. To warn of some possible disaster in the future.D. To tell the development of humans.70. Where can you find this passage?A. Science fictionB. Fairy storyC. Entertainment newsD. Fantasy magazine第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分50分）第一节：完成句子（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）71.
