Pamberton, a druggist from Atlanta, had experimented for many months trying to find a 35 for the common headache. He worked in his backyard, mixing and heating different mixtures of oils and flavors（香料）36 he found one that seemed to work well. Pamberton bottled the mixture and began selling it in drugstores as a concentrated（浓缩的）syrup（糖浆）that the customer had to 37 with water before drinking. The invention of Cola came about quite by accident. One day, a customer came into a drugstore complaining of a headache and 38 a bottle of cola syrup. He wanted to take it 39 . So he asked the clerk to mix the medicine while he waited. The clerk, 40 walking to the other end of the counter to get plain water, 41 mixing the syrup with soda water. The customer agreed, and after drinking it, 42 how good it tasted. The clerk continued offering the mixture and it grew in 43 . Today this kind of Cola is sold in most countries around the world.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Another person’s ent husiasm（热情）was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet t he fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.”My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at me right in the eye. Then she l ooked at my father and replied, “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm.”That statement began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart, My family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father’s care er could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated.When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers and finally reached the goal she set for me. I wasn’t the only beneficiary. My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, anda college president.45. What does the author mean by “I wasn’t the only beneficiary”?A. His stepmother bought typewriters for other family members, too.B. Not only he but also his family gained from his stepmother’s enthusiasm.C. Other fam ily members’ enthusiasm has great effects on his stepmother.D. There were other boys who behaved as badly as he did.46. According to the author, ______ before his stepmother came into his life.A. his father had been away from home for a long timeB. people had noticed his intelligenceC. he knew how to release his enthusiasm properlyD. he was considered a rude boy with wild behaviors47. The author’s stepmother did all the following EXCEPT ______.A. giving some writing lessons to him at homeB. moving the family into the centre of the countyC. planning the future for each family memberD. praising him from the bottom of her heart48. Which of the following best serves as the title of the passage?A. Enthusiasm, a Source of AuthorityB. Enthusiasm, a Gift from my FatherC. Enthusiasm, a Trend in FamiliesD. Enthusiasm, a Power for Success(B)Family fights are never pleasant. Whether you are dealing with a loud sister or a stubborn mom or dad, the situation can be bad. At least that’s what we have learne d to expect.What if it could be different? What if family fights and conflicts could be turned into opportunities to become closer? What if problems could be solved with everyone walking away feeling more deeply cared for and loved?Family fighting is, on one level, about power. Someone is telling someone else what to do. In a short moment, emotions can be brought out and the fight is on. You can go down that old road or you can try something different.In any fight, you have a need to be listened to and understood. People raise their voices and shout at each other because they’re not being listened to. It’s totally unconscious. You want your mom or dad to listen and understand. But you always seems to forget the person you’re fighting with has the same nee d to be listened to. So if you can put aside your need for a few minutes, the situation will change quickly. Give the other person some time to express his or her feelings, and you will earn your turn to be listened to.And while you are listening, you have to listen for the right information. The best way to do this in emotional situations is to forget most of the words because many people can’t express what they are feeling with words alone, especially when they are upset.But if the situation starts to get out of hand, it would be wise to just calm down and leave the problem until later because many fights happen at the wrong time. The situation will die down quickly, usually in less than 30 seconds. You can either move on to problem solving or reach an agreement to work on it at a better time.This way, everyone will feel respected and listened to, even when there is conflict. Emotions will be understood and respected, and it will bring your family closer together.49. From the first 3 paragraphs, we can conclude that ______.A. people had better avoid family fights.B. family members fight to control each otherC. family fights can be changed into something positiveD. when family members fight, it’s worse as they know each other’s weakness50. In the aut hor’s opinion, the key to dealing with family fights is to ______.A. satisfy the need to be listened to firstB. make sure that you’re the first to be listened toC. pay no attention to what others say in emotional situationsD. stop quarrelling when you feel you are giving orders51. When the situation gets out of control, it’s best to ______.A. wait for a suitable moment to speakB. let the other person express their feelingsC. work on a written agreement firstD. move on to problem solving52. The main purpose of this article is to ______.A. tell readers that family fights are not that badB. teach reader how to listen in family fightsC. remind readers to show respect in family fightsD. give advice on dealing with family fightsSection C8%Directions: Choose from the sentences A-F to complete the passage. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.It should be easy for you to recognize faces of your family and friends. But can you remember faces that you’ve only seen once? You might think it is very difficult.53 . They are the so-called “super recognizers”, who can remember at least 80 percent of the faces they’ve seen.54 . But studies shows that at least one person in every 50 is a super recognizer, reported the Daily Mail.Bournemouth University in the UK recently carried out research trying to find whether super recognizers have a different way to process faces. They have found that when these people look at faces, they spend more time looking at the person’s nose. 55 . Their super ability is limited to only to recognizing faces.Another important finding is that there are subtypes（子类型）of super recognition. Some super recognizers never forget faces. But for some, if you present a pair of faces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people.These subtypes of super recognition could be applied to many areas of life. 56 . Super recognizers could help match faces in CCTV footage（闭路电视镜头）. They could also help police spot bad guys or even missing people in crowds.第II卷（共27分）I.

HK＄400C.HK$3600D. HK$2400BJon D. Giorgini says he isn’t losing sleep yet over 1950 PA, the kilometer wide asteroid(小行星) that he predicted might hit the planet Earth. After all, if it hits, it won’t get here for 878 years. Researchers at MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory also spotted a space rock--- about the size of a football field--- passing by Earth just 75,000 miles away. Named 2002 MN, it came closer than any similar-size asteroid had in recent years. Giorgini spoke with NEWSWEEK’s Adam Piore last week. Here is an excerpt.PIORE:According to your research, is this something we should be worried about? GIORGINI: well, not this particular asteroid, 1950 PA, because it’s so far off. It’s 878 years in the future, but it’s possible that there are other asteroids we haven’t discovered yet that could impact sooner. The purpose is to find these things as soon as possible. If there are centuries of warning, there are many things you can do about the threat. But if you only find out about it the last day or two, or the last year, there’s not much you can do.PIORE:What would happen if one of these things hit?GIORGINI:There was an incident where an asteroid nearly the size of 2002 MN hit in Tunguska, Siberia, back in 1908. It exploded in the air and flattened about 800 miles of forested area. 1950 DA would carry about 100,000 megatons(百万吨级) of energy if it hit. It would make a crater(陨石坑)about 10 or 15 miles across and destroy hundreds or thousands of miles around it, kick up dust and steam into the atmosphere. Some would even orbit the Earth for a while. It would be a global problem.PIORE:What should we do about 1950 DA?GIORGINI:In hundreds of years, it’s hard to imagine what ways we’ll have to deal with it. It’s sort of like guys 900 years ago trying to plan the interstate highway system. It would probably be more sensible to leave it to future generations. If you have centuries of warning like this, you can just change the way it absorbs and reflects light and heat. Sunlight shines on it and heats one side, and it turns around to the back and the heat radiates off into space and sort of pushes on it like a weak rocket. Over centuries, it’s enough to push it out of the way.51.The main purpose of Piore interviewing Giorgini is ________.A.to announce an astonishing predictionB.to publicize the significance of a researchC.to warn people of the coming threatD.to create a sensational effect52.What is Giorgini really worried about?A. Unidentified outer space rocks.B. Undiscovered approaching small asteroidsC. The tremendous impact of 2002MND. The potential threat of 1950 PA.53.Giorgini mentioned the asteroid explosion in Tunguska because he would ________.pare the explosion to that of 2002 MN.B.give an impression of an asteroid hitting the earth.C.estimate the property damage a space object causedD.describe a disaster bigger than a nuclear explosion in human history54.Which of the following statements is TURE?A. Ancient people attempted to build main roads connecting cities or states.B. Humans are now in a position to take action on 1950 PA.C. One solution Giorgini suggested is to launch a rocket towards 1950 PA and push it away.D. One solution Giorgini suggested is to change the direction of sunlight shining on 1950 PA.CThe wallet is heading for extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers. The kind of shopping-where you hand over notes and count out change in return—now happens only in the most minor of our retail encounters，like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a comer shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted. And this is more and more true, the higher up the scale you go. At the most cutting-edge retail stores—Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, for instance—you don’t go and stand at any kind of cash register when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa.Which is nothing more or less than excellent service, if you have the money. But across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. But earning money isn’t quick or easy for most of us. Isn’t it a bit weird that spendi ng it should happen in half a blink (眨眼) of an eye? Doesn’t a wallet—that time-honoured Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness—represent something that matters?But I’ll leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a wallet—the way the fastenings and materials wear and tear and loosen with age, the plastic and paper and gold and silver, and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets—is the very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smartphone of an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unknowable as pebble (鹅卵石). Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners, we move our fingers left and right. No more counting out coins. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer.55. What is happening to the wallet?A) It is disappearing. C) it is becoming costly. B) It is being fattened. D) It is changing in style.56. What makes the author feel uncomfortable nowadays?A) Saving money is becoming a thing of the past.B) The pleasing Friday-night feeling is fading.C) Earning money is getting more difficult.D) Spending money is so fast and easy.57. Why does the author choose to write about what’s happening to the wallet?A) It represents a change in the modern world.B) It has something to do with everybody’s life.C) It marks the end of a time-honoured tradition.D) It is the concern of contemporary economists.58.What can we infer from the passage about the author?A) He is resistant to social changes.B) He is against technological progress.C) He feels reluctant to part with the traditional wallet.D) He fells insecure in the ever-changing modern world.DWhy do some people live to be older than others？You know the standard explanations：keeping a moderate diet，engaging in regular exercise，etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity（长寿）? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives？A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing，more active and less neurotic （神经质的）than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory：those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.Interestingly，however，other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were moreself-disciplined，for instance，were no more likely to live to be very old. Also，being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life，which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life，you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately，another recent study shows that your mother’s personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28，000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious，depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Every night after dinner, my mother and I would sit at the kitchen table. She would present new tests, taking her examples from stories of amazing children she had read in Ripley’s Believe It or Not, or Good Housekeeping, Reader’s Digest, and a dozen other magazines she kept in a pile in our bathroom. My mother got these magazines from people whose houses she cleaned. And since she cleaned many houses each week, we had a great assortment. She would look through them all, searching for stories about remarkable children.The first night she brought out a story about a three-year-old boy who knew the capitals of all the states and even most of the European countries.“What’s the capital of Finland?”my mother asked me, looking at the magazine story.All I knew was the capital of California, because Sacramento was the name of the street we lived on in Chinatown. “Nairobi!” I guessed, saying the most foreign word I could think of. She checked to see if that was possibly one way to pronounce “Helsinki” before showing me the answer.The tests got harder. One night I had to look at a page from the Bible for three minutes and then report everything I could remember.“Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance and … that’s all I remember, Mother,”I said.Seeing my mother’s disappointed face once again, something inside of me began to die. I hated the tests, the raised hopes and failed expectations. Before going to bed that night, I looked in the mirror above the bathroom sink and when I saw only my face staring back –and that it would always be this ordinary face—I began to cry. I made high-pitched noises like a crazed animal, trying toscratch out the face in the mirror.66. The passage is mainly about _______.A. how Mother taught“me”the basic skillsB. how Mother tried to find“my”talentC. how Mother encouraged“me”to studyD. how Mother changed“my”life67.

A law student taking her final exam wakes up with a blinding headache. A runner twists his ankle minutes before a big race. These are all perfect examples of cruel fate.Or are they? Psychologists who study such common accidents now believe that in many instances they may be carefully arranged schemes of the subconscious mind and that people often engage in a form of self-defeating behavior known as self-handicapping—or, in plain terms, excuse-making. It’s a simple process: By taking on a crippling handicap（a serious obstacle），a person makes it more likely that he or she will fail at a career. Though it seems like a crazy thing to do, researchers say it is actually a clever trick of the mind, one that sets up a win-win situation byallowing a person to save face when he or she does fail.A classic self-handicapper is the French chess player Deschapelles who quickly became champion of his region. But when competition grew tougher, he adopted a new condition for all matches: He would compete only if his opponent would remove one of Deschapelles’ pawns（卒）and make the first move, increasing the odds（几率）that Deschapelles would lose. If he did lose, he could blame it on the other player’s advantage; but if he won against such odds, he would be more respected for his amazing talents. Psychologists now use the term“Deschapelles coup”to refer to cats of self-handicapping popular in today’s world.Overall, men are more likely than women to make excuses. Several studies suggest that men feel the need to appear competent in all realms, while women worry only about the skills in which they’ve invested heavily. Ask a man and a woman to go scuba diving（浮潜）for the first time, and the woman is likely to jump in, while the man is likely to first make it known that he’s not feeling too well.In fact, the people most likely to become habitual excuse makers are those obsessed with success, says the researcher. Such people are so afraid of being labeled a failure at anything that they constantly develop one handicap or another in order to explain their failures.Self-handicapping may be an effective way of coping with performance anxiety. In the end, researchers say, it is a Faustian bargain（浮士德契约）. Over the long run, excuse makers fail to live up to their true potential. And despite their protests to the contrary, they have only themselves to blame.73. It can be inferred from the passage that a student who wanted to engage in self-handicappingwould most probably ______.A. work as hard as possible for an important examB. get drunk the night before a big examC. try to cheat on a test to get a high scoreD. take down only the key points of the class74. What of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Men are more competent in whatever they are involved in.B. Women are more likely to adopt Deschapelles coup when faced with challenges.C. Deschapelles’ way of self-handicapping was to give his opponents more advantages.D. By self-handicapping, Deschapelles succeeded in showing the true limits of his ability.75. By saying“it is a Faustian bargain”, researchers mean that ______.A. self-handicapping is often an effective method of dealing with anxietyB. habitual excuse-making is an indication of one’s depressionC. excuse-makers will suffer from the destructive behavior eventuallyD. self-handicapping behavior is a difficult and complex process to understand76. Which of the following is the main idea of the article?A. The story of a classic self-handicapper, Deschapelles.B. An analysis on strategies that people use to avoid embarrassment.C. A comparison between the ways men and women avoid embarrassment after failure.D. The psychological tricks some people use to avoid feeling embarrassed after failure.Section C（4分）Directions：Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Small markets are an important part of South Africa’s economy, these business offer jobs in a country with unemployment rate of at least 25 percent. But immigrant-owned and international businesses are increasing their share of South African markets, which has hurt local traders who run little shops called spazas.John Stheole has owned his spaza for more than ten years. It is a small grey building in Dube village, in the Soweto area of the capital Johannesburg. ___77___Spaza means“just getting buy”. The shops are found in non-white communities where larger, more official stores are not available or are too costly. There are about 100,000 spazas in South Africa, they employ 290,000 people. But few have paid attention to the part these stores can play increating jobs.Research shows that what is called the informal sector in Africa is very large. ___78___ Last year, the African Development Bank said the informal sector provides about 55 percent of the economic productivity of African countries south of the Sahara desert.But business has been slow for Mr Stheole. ___79___“Last year, I am struggling…,”said Stheole.

That person was my stepmother.I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.”My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm.”That statement began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart, My family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he gra duated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father’s career could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated.When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers and finally reached the goal she set for me. I wasn’t the only beneficiary. My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.11．What does the author mean by “I wasn’t the only beneficiary”?A．His stepmother bought typewriters for other family members, too.B．Not only he but also his family gained from his stepmother’s enthusiasm.C．Other family members’ enthusiasm has great effe cts on his stepmother.D．There were other boys who behaved as badly as he did.12．According to the author, ______ before his stepmother came into his life.A．his father had been away from home for a long timeB．people had noticed his intelligenceC．he knew how to release his enthusiasm properlyD．he was considered a rude boy with wild behaviors13．The author’s stepmother did all the following EXCEPT ______.A．giving some writing lessons to him at homeB．moving the family into the centre of the countyC．planning the future for each family memberD．praising him from the bottom of her heart14．Which of the following best serves as the title of the passage?A．Enthusiasm, a Source of AuthorityB．Enthusiasm, a Gift from my FatherC．Enthusiasm, a Trend in FamiliesD．Enthusiasm, a Power for SuccessFamily fights are never pleasant. Whether you are dealing with a loud sister or a stubborn mom or dad, the situation can be bad. At least that’s what we have learned to expect.What if it could be different? What if family fights and conflicts could be turned into opportunities to become closer? What if problems could be solved with everyone walking away feeling more deeply cared for and loved?Family fighting is, on one level, about power. Someone is telling someone else what to do. In a short moment, emotions can be brought out and the fight is on. You can go down that old road or you can try something different.In any fight, you have a need to be listened to and understood. People raise their voices and shout at each ot her because they’re not being listened to. It’s totally unconscious. You want your mom or dad to listen and understand. But you always seems to forget the person you’re fighting with has the same need to be listened to. So if you can put aside your need for a few minutes, the situation will change quickly. Give the other person some time to express his or her feelings, and you will earn your turn to be listened to.And while you are listening, you have to listen for the right information. The best way to do this in emotional situations is to forget most of the words because many people can’t express what they are feeling with words alone, especially when they are upset.But if the situation starts to get out of hand, it would be wise to just calm down and leave the problem until later because many fights happen at the wrong time. The situation will die down quickly, usually in less than 30 seconds. You can either move on to problem solving or reach an agreement to work on it at a better time.This way, everyone will feel respected and listened to, even when there is conflict. Emotions will be understood and respected, and it will bring your family closer together. 15．From the first 3 paragraphs, we can conclude that ______.A．people had better avoid family fights.B．family members fight to control each otherC．family fights can be changed into something positiveD．when family members fight, it’s worse as they know each other’s weakness16．In the author’s opinion, the key to dealing with family fights is to ______.A．satisfy the need to be listened to firstB．make sure that you’re the first to be listened toC．pay no attention to what others say in emotional situationsD．stop quarrelling when you feel you are giving orders17．When the situation gets out of contro l, it’s best to ______.A．wait for a suitable moment to speakB．let the other person express their feelingsC．work on a written agreement firstD．move on to problem solving18．The main purpose of this article is to ______.A．tell readers that family fights are not that badB．teach reader how to listen in family fightsC．remind readers to show respect in family fightsD．give advice on dealing with family fights第II卷（非选择题）三、语法填空Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.It is not unusual for us to gather with our nearest and dearest on the weekends. But do you know that holid ays, much like relationships, can be “made, 29．and broken” through conversations? Deborag Tannen, a Georgetown University linguistics（语言学）professor,believes so. She offers suggestions to improve communication at the holiday table and beyond. Let’s take a look.A round dining table is best for 30．a lively conversation because everyone faces one another.Avoid 31．grandparents at the ends of a rectangular table, even though it is the traditional place of honor. Elderly people may feel lonely there because they will be 32．to hear or keep up with a conversation.Women prefer to face each other and make eye contact when they talk. Men might look around at other things. “Guys may be more relaxed keeping staring on the TV,” says Tannen. “They’ll still be 33．, though.”Be 34．that people have different ways of talking. Each person has a different sense of tone, rhythm, timing and how long of a pause is normal in a conversation. Pay attention to people who seem left out. If you feel you are doing all the talking, hold back to give others a chance to join in. If you feel you aren’t getting a chance to speak, try pushing yourself to start talking before it seems natural or 35．.Some families find that gatherings go more 36．if they participate in an outdoor activity. Going to a park for a walk may be more 37．than sitting around chatting.五、六选四Directions: Choose from the sentences A-F to complete the passage. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.It should be easy for you to recognize faces of your family and friends. But can you remember faces that you’ve only seen once? You might think it is very difficult.38．. They are the so-called “super recognizers”, who can remember at least 80 percent of the faces they’ve seen.39．. But studies shows that at least one person in every 50 is a super recognizer, reported the Daily Mail.Bournemouth University in the UK recently carried out research trying to find whether super recognizers have a different way to process faces. They have found that when these people look at faces, they spend more time looking at the person’s nose. 40．. Their super ability is limited to only to recognizing faces.Another important finding is that there are subtypes（子类型）of super recognition. Some super recognizers never forget faces. But for some, if you present a pair of faces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people.These subtypes of super recognition could be applied to many areas of life. 41．. Super recognizers could help match faces in CCTV footage（闭路电视镜头）. They could also help police spot bad guys or even missing people in crowds.A．However, studies have found a small number of people have amazing face recognition skills.B．Researchers have tried to find how certain people are so good at recognizing faces.C．It is also found that these people are not particularly smarter than others.D．It is unknown how many people truly have these skills.E．For instance, the skills could be very useful at a passport control checkpoint.F．Many super recognizers say they are good at spotting faces in a crowd.六、汉译英Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.42．经常锻炼，你会受益匪浅的。

I enjoy the selection of produce and fresh bakery items. I have been a long time Supermarket shopper and hope to continue for many years. I have found, however, that I must make a separate shopping trip to one of your competitors because there are many items your store does not carry. This becomes inconvenient for me, as my time is valuable, and I do not like to make two trips. Your low prices and excellent customer service keep me coming back to Supermarket, but I would be a more satisfied customer if I could find all the items I need in one place.Specifically, I have never been able to purchase nacho cheese soup at your store. I can findother flavors(味道) of soup, but your store does not carry nacho cheese soup, a common ingredient(原料) in many of my recipes. In addition, I can only find large wonton wrappers, while many other stores carry both large and small and offer a more varied selection for their customers. Another example is Regent Brand Chili Seasoning.Though it is not a leading brand, it is still common on the shelves of other grocery stores in this area and is superior in flavor to its competitors.I sincerely hope to continue a relationship with your store, and I hope that you will consider the possibility of expanding your goods to be more competitive.Yours truly,Bob Watson52.According to Bob, the grocery store ____________ .A.meets all his needsB.is outstanding in every wayC.offers good customer servicecks convenient transportation53.How does the author present his point in Paragraph 2 ?A.By giving exampleB.By analyzing the figuresC.By providing scientific findingsD.By comparing two different stores54.From the letter,we can learn that the author is ___________ .A. a very picky reporterB. a competitor of the storeC. a responsible nutritionistD. a regular customer of the storeBSPECIAL OFFTERfrom$799Hong KongEnjoy 5 nights in Hong Kong from $ 799New World Harbour View : Super hotel in good location on Hong Kong Island.

Optional insurance.CHumans and many other mammals have unusually efficient internal temperature regulating systems that automatically maintain stable core body temperatures （核心体温）in cold winters and warm summers. In addition, people have developed cultural patterns and technologies that help them adjust to extremes of temperature and humidity （湿度）.In very cold climates, there is a constant danger of developing hypothermia （低体温）, which is a life threatening drop in core body temperature to below normal levels. The normal temperature for humans is about 37.0°C. However, differences in persons and even the time of day can cause it to be as much as 6°C higher or lower in healthy individuals. It is also normal for core body temperature to be lower in elderly people. Hypothermia begins to occur when the core body temperature drops to 34.4°C. Below 29.4°C, the body cools more rapidly because its natural temperature regulating system usually fails. The rapid decline in core body temperature is likely to result in death. However, there have been rare cases in which people have been saved after their temperatures had dropped to 13.9-15.6°C. This happened in 1999 to a Swedish woman who was trapped under an ice sheet in freezing water for 80 minutes. She was found unconscious, not breathing, and her heart had stopped beating, yet she was eventually saved despite the fact that her temperature had dropped to 13.7°C.In extremely hot climates or as a result of uncontrollable infections, core body temperatures can rise to equally dangerous levels. This is hyperthermia. Life threatening hyperthermia typically starts in humans when their temperatures rise to 40.6-41.7°C. Only a few days at this extraordinarily high temperature level is likely to result in the worsening of internal organs and death.59.Why can humans keep stable body temperatures in different seasons? A ．Because their bodies are unusually efficient. B ．Because they experience different climates.C ．Because they can adjust to cultural patterns and technologies.D ．Because they have internal temperature regulating systems. 60.What does Paragraph 2 mainly discuss? A ．The dangerous effects of hypothermia. B ．The change of body temperature. C ．The survival of the Swedish woman.D ．The regulating systems of natural temperature.61.People are unlikely to survive under the body temperature . A ．higher than 34.4°C B ．lower than 29.4°C C ．between 40.6-41.7°C D ．between 34.4-37°C学校________________________ 班级_________________ 姓名___________________ 学号__________- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- -密 ○- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - -封 ○- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - -线 ○- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -62.What is the best title for the passage?A．Surviving in an ice trap B．Getting to know hypothermia C．Adapting to climate extremes D．Changing core body temperatureIV.Translation （12%）63.这个项目试图将技术应用于教育。

He worked in his backyard, mixing and heating different mixtures of oils and flavors（香料）36 he found one that seemed to work well. Pamberton bottled the mixture and began selling it in drugstores as a concentrated（浓缩的）syrup（糖浆）that the customer had to37 with water before drinking.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Another person’s enthusiasm（热情）was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fell ow who is well known for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.”My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at me right in the eye. Then she looked a t my father and replied, “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm.”That statement began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart, My family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father’s career could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated.When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that shebelieved that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers and finally reached the goal she set for me. I wasn’t the only beneficiary. My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.45. What does the author mean by “I wasn’t the only beneficiary”?A. His stepmother bought typewriters for other family members, too.B. Not only he but also his family gained from his stepmother’s enthusiasm.C. Other family mem bers’ enthusiasm has great effects on his stepmother.D. There were other boys who behaved as badly as he did.46. According to the author, ______ before his stepmother came into his life.A. his father had been away from home for a long timeB. people had noticed his intelligenceC. he knew how to release his enthusiasm properlyD. he was considered a rude boy with wild behaviors47. The author’s stepmother did all the following EXCEPT ______.A. giving some writing lessons to him at homeB. moving the family into the centre of the countyC. planning the future for each family memberD. praising him from the bottom of her heart48. Which of the following best serves as the title of the passage?A. Enthusiasm, a Source of AuthorityB. Enthusiasm, a Gift from my FatherC. Enthusiasm, a Trend in FamiliesD. Enthusiasm, a Power for Success(B)Family fights are never pleasant. Whether you are dealing with a loud sister or a stubborn mom or dad, the situation can be bad. At least that’s what we have learned to ex pect.What if it could be different? What if family fights and conflicts could be turned into opportunities to become closer? What if problems could be solved with everyone walking awayfeeling more deeply cared for and loved?Family fighting is, on one level, about power. Someone is telling someone else what to do. In a short moment, emotions can be brought out and the fight is on. You can go down that old road or you can try something different.In any fight, you have a need to be listened to and understood. People raise their voices and shout at each other because they’re not being listened to. It’s totally unconscious. You want your mom or dad to listen and understand. But you always seems to forget the person you’re fighting with has the same need to be listened to. So if you can put aside your need for a few minutes, the situation will change quickly. Give the other person some time to express his or her feelings, and you will earn your turn to be listened to.And while you are listening, you have to listen for the right information. The best way to do this in emotional situations is to forget most of the words because many people can’t express what they are feeling with words alone, especially when they are upset.But if the situation starts to get out of hand, it would be wise to just calm down and leave the problem until later because many fights happen at the wrong time. The situation will die down quickly, usually in less than 30 seconds. You can either move on to problem solving or reach an agreement to work on it at a better time.This way, everyone will feel respected and listened to, even when there is conflict. Emotions will be understood and respected, and it will bring your family closer together.49. From the first 3 paragraphs, we can conclude that ______.A. people had better avoid family fights.B. family members fight to control each otherC. family fights can be changed into something positiveD. when family members fight, it’s worse as they know each other’s weakness50. In the author’s o pinion, the key to dealing with family fights is to ______.A. satisfy the need to be listened to firstB. make sure that you’re the first to be listened toC. pay no attention to what others say in emotional situationsD. stop quarrelling when you feel you are giving orders51. When the situation gets out of control, it’s best to ______.A. wait for a suitable moment to speakB. let the other person express their feelingsC. work on a written agreement firstD. move on to problem solving52. The main purpose of this article is to ______.A. tell readers that family fights are not that badB. teach reader how to listen in family fightsC. remind readers to show respect in family fightsD. give advice on dealing with family fightsSection C8%Directions:Choose from the sentences A-F to complete the passage. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.It should be easy for you to recognize faces of your family and friends. But can you remember faces that you’ve only seen once? You might think it is very difficult.53 . They are the so-called “super recognizers”, who can remember at least 80 percent of the faces they’ve seen.54 . But studies shows that at least one person in every 50 is a super recognizer, reported the Daily Mail.Bournemouth University in the UK recently carried out research trying to find whether super recognizers have a different way to process faces. They have found that when these people look at faces, they spend more time looking at the person’s nose. 55 . Their super ability is limited to only to recognizing faces.Another important finding is that there are subtypes（子类型）of super recognition. Some super recognizers never forget faces. But for some, if you present a pair of faces to them at thesame time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people.These subtypes of super recognition could be applied to many areas of life. 56 . Super recognizers could help match faces in CCTV footage（闭路电视镜头）. They could also help police spot bad guys or even missing people in crowds.第II卷（共27分）I.

Why pay full price when you could be saving loads of money?Here are some items that you would be much better off buying used:1.Cars.

For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)For many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without hearing. These deaf people were not able to use a spoken language.But beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language. Using the language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others. The language they used was a language without sound. It was a sign language.How did this sign language work? The deaf were taught to make certain movements using their hands, faces, and bodies. These movements stood for things and ideas.A man might m ove his forefinger across his lips. This meant: “my uncle”. The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet. They used their fingers to make the letters of the alphabet. In this way, they spelled out words. Some deaf people could spell out words at a speed of 130 words per minute.Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were. Today the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips. They are taught how to speak.57. On the whole the story is about ___________.A. how the deaf communicateB. learning to spellC. teaching the deaf to speakD. writing sign languages58. How did sign language help the deaf?A. It helped them to learn to read.B. The deaf could understand Indian sign language.C. It helped them communicate with other people.D. The deaf could move their thumbs across their lips.59. What does it mean if a person moves his forefinger across his mouth?A. He wants you to shut up.B. It means somebody.C. He believes what you are saying.D. He doesn’t believe you.60. The deaf don’t use sign language and finger spelling as much as they used tobecause ____________.A. they find it much harder to learn sign languageB. they don’t like to use their fingersC. they find it easier to watch the others’ lipsD. they are taught to understand the others by watching their lips（B）When you are advised to “get an education” if you want to raise your income, you are only told half the truth, what you should be told is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society, but not too much education that would prove an embarrassment to your society. Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you are occupationally（职业地） dead, unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison and you can successfully drop out in grade school.Get a college degree, if possible. With a BA, you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master’s degree, make sure it’s an MBA, and only from a first-rate university. Beyond this, the famous law of diminishing returns (报酬递减规律性) begins to take effect. Do you know, for instance, that heavy truck drivers earn more a year than full professors? Yes, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $ 24,000, while the full professor managed to average just $ 23,930.A Ph.D. is the highest degree you can get, but except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry, where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, you are facing a dark future. There are more Ph. Ds unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of world by far.If you become a doctor of Philosophy in English or History or Anthropology or Political Science or language or-worst of all-in Philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands.Income and education are closely related. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profiton you.61. According to the writer, the expectation(期望）of education is to turn out people who _____.A. will become loyal citizens to a nationB. can always take good care of themselvesC. will not be a shame to society or their familiesD. can meet the demands as a source of manpower62.If you are as gifted as Bernard Shaw or Edison ______.A. you can get a high school diploma without difficultyB. you can be professionally successful without a diplomaC. the least you should do is to get a diplomaD. you will be more successful in grade school63.Many Ph. Ds are out of work because ______.A. they are of little commercial value to the societyB. they prefer easy jobs with more moneyC. there are fewer jobs in high schoolsD. they are wrongly educated64. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The higher your education level is, the more money you’ll earn.B. Too much education may make it difficult for you to find a job..C. One must think carefully before going for a master’s degree.D. Bernard Shaw didn’t finish high school, nor did Edison.Section CDirections: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable statement from A-F for each blank. There are two extra statements, which you do n’t need.Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork. It can make you confident when you are studying. ___65___If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that's great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. ___66___ For example, some teachers may focus on lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat them.Don't try to write down every word in class, or you might miss some important points. Some students really learn better with the help of these notes.___67___ If your teacher speaks too fast and you can't follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.Comparing your notes with your classmates can be good for your learning. ___68___ Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one place, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.Good note-taking takes time. If you decide to recopy your notes every morning, you'll surely have less time to watch TV. But you'll save time in the coming test.第II卷（共20分）IV.
