On behalf of the for side, I think that we needn’t be over worried.Firstly, it does not necessarily ruin Chinese culture. Actually, most Chinese have not ignored their native festivals. Traditional Chinese festivals still see larger population than western festivals. Secondly, it is a part of global cultural communication. While we are absorbing advanced science and technology from foreign countries, we are also taking in different cultures. Thirdly, most Chinese, especially the youth, celebrate western festivals merely out of the wish to connect with friends and create an entertaining atmosphere.In a word, while we attach importance to the protection of traditional Chinese culture, we needn’t worry too much about the celebration of western festivals.听力原文第一节Text 1W: Excuse me, do you know how to get to the library?M: You see that teaching building ahead?

Hofman has “thrown” the Rubber Duck into some harbor cities. Last May his giant yellow duck received a warm welcome in Hong Kong. Millions of visitors from across Asia went to Victoria Harbor to see the duck and take pictures. Hong Kong business created duck-inspired products and dishes in honor of their yellow duck. And when Rubber Duck was ready to leave, thousands crowded at Victoria Harbor to wave a teary-eyed goodbye. In reality, there’s more than one Rubber Duck. Hofman uses local teams to build local models of the duck because he believes it makes repairs easier. Last fall one model was on a river in Pittsburgh while another one was in Kaohsiung! The Pittsburgh model was 12 meters, but the Kaohsiung one stands 18 meters tall.Most of Hofman’s other works are big, too, like Fat Monkey, about 15-meter-long. In addition, Steelman is an 11-meter-tall bear sculpture to inspire the area’s youth to be tough like bears!Hofman’s work appeals to all ages. Regarding Rubber Duck, Hofman believes it can help adults reduce anxiety. As he says, “The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!”。

I had to go to the airport at 9:00 a. m. to pick up my uncle Ali and take him to my father’s house. However, I was late because I was hanging out with my friends. 14 on that day, around 11:00 a. m.. I remembered my uncle , but I was very late for him. He had 15 the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house.I got to my father’s house at 2:00 p. m. that day and felt ashamed of myself at that moment. After I said hi to my 16 father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him and handed me this watch. Then he said, “Peter, did you have 17 with your friends today?” I answered, “Yes, father, and I apologized for not meeting my uncle Ali.”He said,” What you 18 was not very nice and you should be sorry for your 19 .

But it’s quite 21 to do it in front of a stadium full of people! In book Oops, authors tell of such slip-ups. One occurred during a 22 match between two Brazilian teams. The first goal was scored within three seconds after kickoff. What made the score 23 hard for the team’s fans to take was the fact that it was made while their goalie was still on one knee with his 24 bowed in prayer.There is certainly a(an) 25 for prayer, but this poor man learned the hard way that there is also a time for action. In fact, both are 26 in a well-lived life. As Gandhi once said, “I have so much to 27 today, I will have to meditate（沉思）two hours instead of one.” Often, however, the best spirituality 28 with the prayer of the heart, and then moves to that prayer which is lived throughout the rest of the day.Several years ago a bomb 29 outside the huge oak doors of a Greek Catholic church in Jerusalem.

Windows were blown out, chairs were 31 ,and the balcony fell down.Dr. Ken Bailey, stopped by to 32 the damage. It took little time to determine that the priest was in shock and unable to make necessary 33 .So Dr. Bailey took it upon himself to ask the administrators at the school where he taught to close classes , and he invited the 34 to join him in helping the priest.

Now I am thirty-two. I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity（灾难）can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn’t been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply，otherwise. I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.Life, I believe ，asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was totally confused and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me—a potential to live, you might call it—which I didn’t see，and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. I f I hadn’t been able to do that，I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that：an assurance that I am，despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping，intricate（错综复杂的）pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt.”I can’t use this.” I said.” Take it with you,” he urged me, “and roll it around.” The words stuck in my head.” Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible：playing baseball. At Philadelphia’s Overbrook School for the blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them，one at a time.I had to learn my limitations. It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.41.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The author lost his sight because of a car crash.B. The author wouldn’t love life if the disaster hadn’t happened.C. The disaster made the author appreciate what he had.D. The disaster strengthened the author’s desire to see.42.What’s the author’s biggest difficulty?A. How to adjust himself to reality.B. Building up assurance that he can fit in life.C.

A Miserable LifeB. Struggle Against DifficultiesC. A Disaster Makes a Strong PersonD. An Unforgettable ExperienceBNowadays, the food we eat seems to have great effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well，especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures.That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945，government researchers realized that nitrates，commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes，but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration（FDA）has tried repeatedly to control these procedures，the practices continue.46.Which of the following statements is NOT true？A. Some additives are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals.B. Researchers have known about the potential dangers of food additives for about sixty-eight years.C. Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons.D. Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world.47.How has science done harm to mankind?A. Because of science, diseases caused by polluted food have been virtually eliminated.B. It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.C. The scientists have preserved the color of meats，but not of vegetables.D. Because of the application of science，some potentially harmful substances have been added to food.48.What are nitrates used for?A. They preserve the color of meats.B. They preserve flavor in packaged foods.C. They are the objects of research.D. They cause the animals to become fatter.49.The word“carcinogenic”most nearly means“________”.A. trouble-makingB. color-retainingC. cancer-causingD. money-making50.Which might be the best title of the passage？A. Drug and FoodB. Food and HealthC. Cancer and HealthD. Health and DrugCPatti Page，the top-selling female artist of the 1950s with more than 100 million records sold, died on January 2nd，2013，when she was 85. She was one of the most beloved singers of the post-war era. Take her Tennessee Waltz for example; it sold more than 10 million copies and was her biggest hit.Born in Claremore, Oklahoma, a small town near Tulsa，Page originally dreamed of a career in commercial art. Her first job in the art department at a local radio station soon led to performing on her own 15-minute program.At age 20，Page was discovered by big-band leader Jack Rael, who quit his job to become her manager. In 1948，she signed her first recording contract with Mercury Records and two years later enjoyed her first hit record. She stayed with Mercury for the next 14 years and recorded hit after hit including：“With My Eyes Wide Open, I’m Dreaming”, and “Old Cape cod”.Her last hit was “Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte”，recorded for the Bette Davis movie of the same name. And then ,there was” Doggie In The Window”. The creative tune was a huge hit，but with its repeated barking sounds and silly lyrics（歌词），the song has been used by many people as an example of all that was wrong with pop music in the early 1950s.Throughout the 1950s，Patti Page made regular appearances on television variety shows and in 1957 she was chosen to host the musical program，“The Big Record”. The following year，Page appeared in her own CBS television series，“The Patti Page Show”. She continued to record and perform into the 21st century，most recently releasing an album of songs for children， a Christmas record, and a new” best of ”collection.Besides music, Patti Page did a bit of acting. She co-starred with the Oscar-winning Burt Lancaster in” Elmer Gantry”, and also starred on stage in the musical play” Annie Get Your Gun”.51.From the passage，we can know that Patti Page________.A. wanted to be an actress when youngB. was a success in commercial artC. was born in 1927 in the USD. started his work as a TV program hostess52.Which of her following recorded songs was criticized？A.“Old Cape Cod”.B.“Hush...Hush，Sweet Charlotte”.C.“Doggie In the Window”.D. “With My Eyes Wide Open, I’m Dreami ng”.53.The“Tennessee Waltz” is mentioned in the passage in order to prove that _________.A. she was a beloved singerB. her songs and acting were successfulC. she was the top-selling female artistD. she was good at acting54.Patti Page _________.A. got to know Jack Rael in 1945B. left Mercury Records at the age of 35C. appeared in” The Patti Page Show” in 1957D. began to act in the 21st century55.We can draw a conclusion that _________.A. Patti Page was a successful singer as well as a successful actressB. Patti Page gave up singing in public when she was oldC. Patti Page’s gift in art began to be shown in her teensD. Patti Page’s great success resulted from others’ helpDMy grandparents were married for over half a century, and played their own special game the time they had met each other. The goal of their game was to write the word“shmily”in a surprise place for the other to find. They took turns leaving“shmily” around the house, and as soon as one ofthem discovered it，it was their turn to hide it once more. They dragged“shmily” with their fingers through the sugar and flour containers to await whoever was preparing the next meal.“Shmily” was written in the steam left on the mirror after a hot shower, where it would reappear bath after bath. There was no end to the places where“shmily” would pop up. Little notes with“shmily” were found on car seats，or taped to steering wheels. The notes were put inside shoes and left under pillows. “Shmily”was written in the d ust upon the mantel（壁炉架）and traced in the ashes of the fireplace. This mysterious word was as much a part of my grandparents’ house as the furniture.It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate my grandparents’ game. Skepticism has kept me from believing in true love—one that is pure and lasting. However, I never doubted my grandparents’ relationship. It was based on passionate（热情的）affection which not everyone is lucky enough to experience.But there was a dark cloud in my grandparents’ life：my grandmother had breast cancer. The disease had first appeared ten years earlier. As always, Grandpa was with her every step of the way. He comforted her in their yellow room, painted that way so that she could always be surrounded by sunshine, even when she was too sick to go outside. But my grandmother grew steadily weaker until, finally, she could not leave the house anymore. Then one day，what we all feared finally happened. Grandma was gone.“Shmily.”It was written in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother’s funeral bouquet （花束）. As the crowd thinned and the last mourners turned to leave，Grandpa stepped up to my grandmother’s coffin and, taking a shaky breath, he began to sing to her. Through his tears and grief, the song came；S-h-m-i-l-y：See How Much I Love You.56.Where may the word“shmily”be found？a. in the flour containersb. on the mirrorc. on the sheet of toilet paperd. on pillowse. on the furnitureA．a，b B．b，c C．a，d D．b，e57.The author tells us in the first paragraph _________.A. what the word“shmily”meansB. how the special game was playedC. how the author felt about her grandparents’ gameD.how her grandparents cared for each other58.The underlined phrase” pop up” in Paragraph 1 means _________.A. appearB. changeC. surviveD. work59.It can be seen from the passage that the author __________.A. thought the game was meaninglessB. believes everyone can experience true loveC. doubted the existence of true love at firstD. sometimes left“shmily”around th e house60.Grandpa tried to make Grandma comfortable by __________.A. singing songs to her every dayB. painting the room yellowC. encouraging her to go outsideD. helping her take a hot shower every dayEMcDonald’s is the owrld single biggest foo d provider with annual sales of around ＄12.4bn. And the company’s symbol Ronald McDonald is now the world’s most recognized person after Santa Claus.The first McDonald’s restaurant was opened in San Bernardino，California, in 1948 by brothers Mac and Dick McDonald. Mac ran the restaurant side; Dick was the marketing genius. He had already invented the drive-in laundry and had been the first person to use neon lights in advertising. Now he spotted the gap in the post-war，baby-boom marker for cheap, family-orientated restaurants with simple menus, standardized food and efficient service.After a slow start, business began to boom. By 1954，the brothers were joined by another entrepreneur，a kitchen equipment salesman called Ray A Kroc who owned the franchise to theMultimixer，milk shake maker used throughout the McDonald’s chain. A year later，Kroc had bought the McDonald brothers’ chain of 25 franchises for the equivalent of around ＄70m （￡44m）.Dick remained with the company until the Seventies，when he and Kroc Fell out over Kroc’s claim that the chain was his creation.Today，an almost Stalinist cult of personality surrounds Kroc （who died in 1984）at McDonald’s, while the brothers who gave the company its name have all but been written out of its history. But though Kroc did not found McDonald’s, he was certainly responsible for the empire-building philosophy which led to its world domination. He ushered in such essential contributions to international cuisine as the Big Mac（1968）and the Egg McMuffin （1937）；and helped launch Ronald McDonald-“in any language he means fun”-on to television in 1963.Every three hours, a new McDonald’s franchise opens somewhere in the world; it can be found in more than 100 countries including India（vegetarian-only to avoid offending the non-beef-eating populace）and Israel（non kosher, despite fierce local objection）. McDonald’s chain embodied the thrusting, can-do spirit of Fifties America with staff mottoes such as” If you’ve got time to lean, you’ve go time to clean.”61.What’s th e main idea of the passage？A. Where can McDonald’s go in the future？B. How McDonald’s was founded.C. How McDonald’s was distributed to the world.D. McDonald’s start and development.62.McDonald’s was founded __________.A. by a kitchen equipment salesmanB. by two brothers in CaliforniaC. before the first world warD. after the first World War63.What do we know about McDonald’s brothers?A. They were not McDonald’s founders although they named the restaurant.B.Their business was still in depression after several years.C. They had clear job separation on business.D. They sold their restaurant to a salesman in 1954.64.Which is not Kroc’s contribution to McDonald’s？A. He launched the restaurant image Ronald McDonald on to television.B. Under his lead, international cuisine as the Big Mac and the Egg McMuffin earned worldwide fame.C. He spotted the gap in postwar market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants.D. He built McDonald’s empire with a philosophy which led to its world domination.65.Which statement is true according to the passage?A. The single biggest food provider was however, not named after its founder.B. The international cuisine as the Big Mac, a beef hamburger, is provided every chain restaurant in the world.C. Employees in McDonald’s have no time to lean.D. The symbol Ronald McDonald，which means fun in any laguage, is said to be the world’s most recognized person after Santa Claus.第II卷第一节阅读表达（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）［1］If you don’t have good nutrition（营养），you’re missing a key weapon against colds.

ATerrie Hall, a cancer patient who made great contributions to the national anti-smoking ad campaign, died at the age of 53.When she was a young woman Terrie started smoking in high school. “I thought it was a cool thing to do.” she said. The smoking caused throat cancer and oral cancer and the surgeries and radiation treatment took away her natural voice. But they also brought out a level of bravery and strength of character that amazed all of us.In a society where women are often judged by their looks, Terrie did not hide the scars on her face caused by smoking. The scars on her jaw where part of her jaw had been cut out and on her throat where her larynx（喉）had been removed, only made her more determined to speak, especially to young people at school. She wanted young people to know the truth about tobacco.She became known around the world through her participation in CDC’s smoking ad campaign. The ad where she showed how she got ready each day—putting on her wig（假发）, putting her hands-free device in the hole in her throat—is hard to watch.Her video has become the most-viewed video ever on CDC’ YouTube pages with, over 2.5 million viewings, and has inspired more comments than any other CDC video. Her second ad, which touched on the fact that her grandchild never heard her precancerous voice, inspired thousands more to quit.Lisa Hancock, a mother of a five-year-old child and a smoker smoking one pack to two packs of cigarettes a day, said she had tried to quit many time, before, but seeing Terrie’s ad helped her realize that smoking really did cause other types of cancer besides lung cancer, and helped motivate her to quit for good health.Just a few weeks after the second ad, Terrie’s doctors, found her cancer caused by smoking bad spread to her brain. In her remaining days, she chose to keep fighting and keep working to save lives by showing the real consequences of cigarette smoking. She insisted on being filmed in hospital just two days before her death, sharing the final effects of Smoking on her body.The disease that finally took her life never touched her great spirit. That spirit, the selfless work she did and the tens of thousands of lives she saved are Terrie Hall’s great legacies.21. Terrie Hall earned the respect of the public ________.A. because she fought against cancer bravelyB. because she inspired people to quit smokingC. because she started the anti-smoking campaignD. because she was asked to be filmed in hospital22. Knowing she had cancer Terrie must be ______.A. disappointedB. confusedC. regretfulD. anxious23. What does the sixth paragraph imply?A. Terrie’s ad shook Lisa up.B. Lisa paid little attention to her kid.C. Lisa has smoked for two years.D. Terrie popularized the knowledge of cancer.24. What does the author think of Terrie ?A. She shouldn’t have been filmed in hospital.B. She must have moved the public deeply.C. She should have accepted the doctor’s advice.D. She must have caused a shock in the world.BA recent survey showed that doctors in America are warning of an obesity time bomb, when children who are already overweight grow up. So, what should we do? Exercise more? Eat less? Or both? The government feels it has to take responsibility for this expanding problem.The cheerful Mr. Pickwick, the hero of the novel by Charles Dickens, is seen in illustrations as someone who is plump and happy. In the 18th century paintings, beauty is equated （使…等同）with rounded bodies and soft curves. But nowadays being overweight is seen as indicating neither a cheerful character nor beauty but an increased risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.So what do you do? Diet? Not according to England’s chief medical officer, Sir Liam Donaldson. He says that physical activity is the key for reducing the risks of obesity, cancer and heart disease. And the Health Secretary John Reid even said that being inactive is as serious a risk factor in heart disease as smoking.So, having bought some cross trainers, how much exercise should you do? According to Sir Liam Donaldson, at least 30 minutes of moderate activity five days a week. Is going to the gym the answer? Luckily for those who think that running machines are boring, the Health Development Agency believes that physical activity that fits into people’s lives may be more effective. They suggest taking the stairs rather than the lilt, walking up escalators, playing active games with your children, dancing or gardening. And according to a sports psychologist, Professor Biddle, gyms “are not making the nation fit”, and may even cause harm.There’s new scientific evidence that too much exercise may actually be bad for you. Scientists at the University of Ulster have found that unsuitable exercise releases dangerous free radicals that can oppositely affect normal function in unfit people. The only people who should push their bodies to that level of exercise on a regular basis are trained athletes.So, should we f orget about gyms and follow some expert’s advice to reduce sedentary（久坐不动的）activities and increase exercise in our daily life? After all, getting off the bus a stop early and walking the rest of the way can’t do any harm! One final thought, how come past generations lacked gym facilities but were leaner and fitter than people today?25. Mr. Pickwick and the paintings of the 18th century are used as examples to show that _______.A. beauty should be overweightB. a fat man is usually a cheerful characterC. fatness was considered something good at one timeD. fatness leads to an increased risk of disease26. According to Sir Liam Donaldson, we should _______.A. go on a dietB. do regular physical activityC. give up smokingD. go to the gym27. The underlined phrase cross trainers probably refers to ________.A. people who help you do exerciseB. places where you can do exerciseC. a kind of shoesD. a form of vehicles28. What is the passage mainly about?A. how to keep fit and avoid fatness.B. increased risks for overweight people.C. the dangers of exercise in the gym.D. the benefit or a balanced diet.CThe brown widow spider became established in Southern California in early 2000 and has become part of the local spider family in urban Los Angeles and San Diego. The brown widow spider is continuing its expansion in Southern California and could possibly move northward into Central California.The brown widow is suspected to have evolved in Africa although it was first described-from South America, which adds confusion as to where it might have originated. It is a tropical and subtropical spider having established populations in Hawaii, Florida, parts of Australia, South Africa and Japan. In North America, the brown widow was restricted for many decades to the Florida peninsula. However, around the year 2000, it started showing up in other Gulf Coast states. Brown widows are now known from Texas to Georgia and South Carolina.The brown widow builds its web in protected sites around homes and in woody vegetation with branches. Some typical sites selected by brown widows for web building are empty containers such as buckets and nursery pots, mail boxes, entry way comers, under eaves, storage closets and garages, undercarriages of motor vehicles that are stationary for long periods, and the undersides of outdoor furniture. They choose places that are more exposed than sites chosen by black widows and therefore, appear to be at higher risk for interactions with humans as far as bites are concerned.One recent study demonstrates that the brown widow spider is less poisonous than other widow species. The reason for the weaker effect of brown widow bites on humans is possibly because the brown widow does not have much poison as its larger relatives, but it is really a threat to humans as to its poison. The two major symptoms or a brown widow bite were that the bite hurt when it was given and it left a red mark. These two symptoms are not much different from the bite of normal household spiders.There is no specific information regarding the control of brown widows by farm chemicals. Most current advice is what is used for controlling spiders in general. Therefore, most commercially available farm chemicals should work on brown widows. Avoiding a mess of the house and the garage should reduce nest sites for them. Also, one should store garage items in plastic bags where there might be interactions with spiders. These items include rarely worn garments such as gardening clothes and gloves, recreational items like sports equipment（i.e., baseball gloves）and other items where spiders can crawl up into holes where fingers can be inserted.29. The author wrote this article to ________.A. announce the result of a research on spidersB. introduce the ways to get rid of the spidersC. warn readers against the brown widowD. report a new finding of the widow species30. From the passage we can conclude that ________.A. the brown widow originated from AfricaB. brown widows are spreading northwardC. brown widows now can be found in all countriesD. there used to be no brown widows in North America31. The third paragraph is mainly about ________.A. the habitat preferences of the brown widowB. the characteristics of the brown widowC. the brown wido w’s web buildingD. the brown widow’s threaten to human beings32. It can be inferred that ________.A. brown widows can be killed with any farm chemicalsB. victims bitten by the brown widow needn’t see the doctorC. the brown widow has more poison than the black widowD. at present people can only control brown widow spidersD33. A student from Japan who has been studying in England for a year and intends to go tocollege in a few months will ________.A. get money if taking a first degree courseB. get money from LEA when finishing his courseC. be unable to get money from any LEAD. have to open a bank account before getting money34.

Butnow a pair of “social X-Ray” glasses 41 to tell you exactlywhat the other person is thinking—and when you should stoptalking.The glasses have a camera the size of a grain of rice which isput into the glasses’frame and connected with a wire to a smallcomputer which can be attached to the user’s body. The camera __42 the other person’s facial expressions and 43 them up with 24 known features which convey 44 . How long and how often 24 “feature points”appear on the subject’s face are then analyzed by software developed by a team of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This data is then compared with a bank of expressions and the computer tells the wearer through an earpiece(耳机) and lightson the glasses what their date is thinking. In a traffic light-style system, a red light means 45 , yellow means they are a little 46 and green means your date is happy.The glasses are currently under development by re searchers at MIT’s Media Lab. They say that wearing them during a conversation with another person is like having an “extra sense”.The glasses were developed for people suffering from autism(自闭症) who have genuine 47__ interacting with others, but now the team behind it has seen wider 48 .So far the glasses are still a work in progress and have been 49 just 64 percent of the time, a figure which is expected to improve with further tests.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It’s been so warm in the United States this year, especially in March, that national records weren't just broken, they were deep-fried.Temperatures in the lower 48 states were 8.6 degrees above normal for March and 6 degrees higher than average for the first three months of the year, according to 50 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. That goes far 51 the old records.The extent of how 52 the year has been in the US has 53 some meteorologists(气象学者) who have warned about global warming.“Everybody has this uneasy feeling. This is not good,” said Jerry Meehl, a climate scientist who54 in extreme weather at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo. “It’s a55 pleasure. You’re out enjoying this 56 March weather, but you know it’s not a good thing.”It’s not just March.“It’s been going on for several months,” said Jake Crouch, a climate scientist at NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Ashville, N.C.Meteorologists say an unusual combination of several weather 57 , including La Nina, was the direct cause of the warm start to 2012. While individual events can’t be 58 on global warming, Crouch said this is like the extremes that are supposed to get more frequent because of 59 climate change from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil.Normally, March 60 42.5 degrees across the country. This year, the average was 51.1, which is closer to the average for April. Only one other time —in January 2006 —was the country as a whole that much 61 than normal for an entire month.In March, 62 7,775 weather stations across the nation broke daily high temperature records and another 7,517 broke records for night-time 63 . Combined, that’s more h igh temperature records broken in one month than ever before, Crouch said.“When you look at what’s happened in March this year, it’s beyond 64 ,” said University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver.50.

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）Marshall was a promising young artist. He painted with great feeling. His paintings were all characterized by a strong love and sympathy for people. His high school art teacher felt he had a special talent.Marshall’s father didn’t want him to be a painter, however. Mr. Donaldson wanted his son to be a stockbroker(股票经纪人). He wanted Marshall to continue the dynasty started by his great-great grandfather in 1820. The family business, Donaldson and Donaldson Inc., was now a large, successful investment firm.Mr. Donaldson felt Marshall was much too individualistic. “Listen,” he told his son, “I had no say in choosing my career. I just did what my dad told me.”“But you are good at business,”Marshall replied. “I’m not. I’m sure I would just cause trouble for you and problems for the company.” Marshall felt there was no way he could ever fill his father’s shoes. And, although he was no stranger to high society, he didn’t feel comfortable among the wealthy. He preferred the ordinary, working-class people of the city. His paintings told of their struggles and their hopes.Sometimes after school Marshall would hang around outside a factory gate. He would draw the workers as they came out at the end of their shift. Marshall wondered how they could keep doing that hard, boring work year after year. Then he realized most of them would be doing something different if they could. But their great obstacle in life was lack of education.When Marshall got home, he would take out his paintings. The paintings expressed his sympathy and respect for those hard-working people.Well, Marshall never did enter the family business. This angered his father. But as Marshall got older, his career as an artist began to take off. He became quite famous, and people paid large amounts for his “plain people” paintings.In time, this success won Marshall’s dad over. Mr. Donaldson could see his son was born to paint. Marshall was glad his father finally came around. And happily, the two began to work together after all. Twice each year they held a benefit art show.Marshall donated a number of his paintings to be sold at each show. The persuasive Mr. Donaldson got his wealthy friends and clients(客户) to attend—and to spend. The money from the art sales was used to help factory workers improve their education.65. Why didn’t Marshall’s father want Marshall to be a painter at first?A. He thought Marshall was good at business rather than art.B. He expected Marshall to continue their family business.C. He wanted Marshall to earn more money.D. He thought Marshall was individualistic.66. From the passage we can learn that ___________.A. Marshall’s choice turned out to be wrongB. Marshall’s choice affected their family businessC. Marshall’s father at last supported Marshall’s choiceD. Marshall’s father was always unhappy with Marshall’s choice67. The underlined phrase “take off” in paragraph 7 probably means “__________”.A. to take away or removeB. to go away unexpectedlyC. to stop working temporarilyD. to suddenly become very successful68. It was __________ that made Marshall a successful artist.A. his talent and diligenceB. his dad’s help with art showsC. his art teacher’s supportD. his desire to help poor people（B）To whom it may concern,I highly recommend Jane Doe as a candidate for employment. Jane was employed by Company Bubble from 2008 to 2011. She was responsible for office support including word processing, scheduling appointments and creating brochures, newsletters, and other office literature.Jane has excellent communication skills.

Jane was quick to volunteer to assist in other areas of company operations as well.Jane would be a valuable employee for your company and has my highest recommendation.

Bad health condition of a family member.（C）Thirty years ago, public health officials in the United States reported on the first cases of what came to be known as AIDS.But today an estimated sixteen and a half million children have lost one or both parents to AIDS. Millions more live with adults who are sick from AIDS.Lucie Cluver from Oxford University in England has studied children of AIDS(AIDS orphaned children and children living with sick adults) in South Africa. She says children can be deeply affected by their experiences. And one of the biggest impacts we see is mental health, their psychological health. So, for example, we see that AIDS orphaned children have very much higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress disorder than children who have a live parent or children whose parents have died of other causes. Lucie Cluver says children have to live with the sense of shame connected to AIDS. Many are abused(欺负) at school or excluded from the community.Children living with sick adults are more likely to live in poverty and face physical and emotional abuse. Also, Lucie Cluver says the children often become the caregivers. They’re missing school to go and get medication. They’re often taking them to the toilet, cleaning their wounds or washing their bedclothes. So these kids find it ve ry stressful and upsetting. They’re very worried about the health and feel responsible for the health of the sick person. Close contact with sick adults can sometimes spread tuberculosis(肺结核) or other diseases. And, as Lucie Cluver said, even when the children are in school, paying attention can be difficult. It’s constantly on their minds and really making it difficult for them to do well at school. She calls for testing more children for tuberculosis. She also calls for giving more parents the drugs needed to keep them healthy longer with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.There are programs to help children, but there is “far more to be done.” Interventions(干预治疗) and support groups are “urgently needed” for those orphaned by AIDS or living with sick adults. But the evidence for which interventions are effective “is still thin”.72. The topic of the passage is __________.A. children of AIDS doing badly at schoolB. more and more children suffering from AIDSC. children of AIDS facing mental problemsD. an increasing number of people dying of AIDS73. According to Lucie Cluver, AIDS orphaned children have very much higher levels ofdepression mainly because they __________.A. have a sense of shame connected to AIDSB. cannot focus their attention on study at schoolC. are more likely to be affected with tuberculosisD. often have to miss school to look after their sick parents74. We can infer from the last paragraph that __________.A. enough has been done for children of AIDSB. interventions prove very effective for children of AIDSC. nothing can be done to help children except interventionsD. interventions may be useful for helping children of AIDS75. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The first case of AIDS occurred 30 years ago.B. Children whose parents are infected with AIDS often help with housework.C. Children whose parents have died of causes other than AIDS don’t have stress disorder.D. Children don’t have psychological problems when their parents are still alive with HIV. Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph.There is one extra heading which you do not need.Making informed choices before and during your trip is the single most important thing you can do to become a responsible traveler. With a little planning, you can improve the quality of your trip, while making a real difference to the people and places you visit.76. ______________________________Search the web and consult guidebooks to start your pre-trip homework. Look for information and resources on eco tourism. Ecotourism Explorer, TIES’ interactive online directory, makes searching for your perfect eco-holiday easy! Choose guidebooks with information on your destination’s environmental, social and political issues, and read before booking.77. ______________________________Call or email tour operators that have firsthand knowledge of the place you are considering visiting. Check the websites of all accommodations. Let tour operators/hotels know that you are a responsible consumer. Before you book, ask about their social and environmental policies. For instance - What is your environmental policy? What percentage of your employees are local citizens? Do you support any projects to benefit the local community?78. ______________________________Are the businesses you’re considering certified? Do they have eco-label ratings, or have they won eco-awards? Have you heard of the AAA or 5-star rating systems? These long-standing labels judge hotel quality and services. Many certification programs have also been created in tourism to rate the environmental and social impacts of tourism businesses. These programs are important tools for distinguishing genuine ecotourism companies, products or services from those that are merely using “eco-” as a marketing tool to attract consumers. More and more companies have earned eco-labels, and we encourage you to purchase from these businesses.79. ______________________________A growing number of tourism businesses are helping to financially and materially support community projects and offering travelers the opportunity to get involved. Many of TIES members around the globe are leading the efforts to give back to local communities and enhance the livelihoods of local people through ecotourism. We encourage you to contribute to and participate in these projects, and support those companies that are making positive impacts on the lives of local hosts.80. ______________________________Don’t Be Fooled by green-washing. “Eco” is a fashionable label used widely in the tourism industry. It sounds appealing, but much of what is marketed as “eco” is simply traditional tourism with superficial changes. So it’s important to check behind the labels.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.A finding in recent years shows that men cannot manufacture blood as efficiently as women can. This makes surgery riskier for men. Men also need more oxygen because they do not breathe as often as women. But men breathe more deeply and this exposes them to another risk. They draw more of the air into their lungs when it is polluted.Men’s bones are larger than women’s and they are arranged somewhat differently. The female walk that causes so many whistles is a matter of bone structure. A man has broader shoulders and a narrower pelvis(骨盆), which makes him walk with no waste moti on. A woman’s wider pelvis, designed for childbearing, forces her to put more movement into each step she takes with the result that she displays a bit of jiggle and sway(摇摆) as she walks.If you think a man is brave because he can climb a ladder to clean the roof, don’t forget it is easier for him than for a woman. The angle at which a woman’s thigh(大腿) is joined to her knees makes climbing difficult for her, whether it is a ladder or stairs or a mountain that she is climbing.A man’s skin is thicker than a woman’s and not nearly as soft. This prevents the sun’s radiation from getting through, which is why men wrinkle less than women do. Women have a thin layer of fat just under the skin and there is a plus to this greater fat reserve. It acts as an invisible fur coat to keep a woman warmer in the winter. Women also stay cooler in summer because the fat layer helps protect them against heat. Men’s fat is distributed differently. And they do not have that layer of it underneath their skin. In fact, they have considerably less fat than women and more muscle. 41 percent of a man’s body is muscle compared to thirty-five percent for women, which means that men have more muscle power. The higher proportion of muscle to fat makes it easier for men to lose weight. Muscle burns up five more calories a pound than fat does just to maintain itself. So when a man wants to lose weight, the pounds roll off much faster.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) 81. What is this passage mainly about?_______________________________________________________________________________82. That men breathe more deeply can result in a risk of _____________________________.83. The female walk with a bit of jiggle and sway is caused by the fact that ____________________________________________________________________.84. Why do women lose weight more difficultly than men?_______________________________________________________________________________第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I.

As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视）starts to lose its focus —until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise （同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.25. The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby’s__.A. sense of hearingB. sense of sightC. sense of touchD. sense of smell26. Babies are sensitive to the change in______.A. the size of cardsB. the colour of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects27. Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies’ interest.28. Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Children’s literature.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.CDoes Fame Drive You Crazy?Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities — famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.29. It can be learned from the passage that stars today____.A. are often misunderstood by the publicB. can no longer have their privacy protectedC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have come into fame30. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.31. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A. Availability of modern media.B. Inadequate social recognition.C. Lack of favorable chances.D. Huge population of fans.32. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sincere.B. Sceptical.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.DThe National GalleryDescription:The National Gallery is the British national art museum built on the north side of Trafalgar Square in London. It houses a diverse collection of more than 2,300 examples of European art ranging from 13th-century religious paintings to more modern ones by Renoir and Van Gogh. The older collections of the gallery are reached through the main entrance while the more modern works in the East Wing are most easily reached from Trafalgar Square by a ground floor entranceLayout:The modern Sainsbury Wing on the western side of the building houses 13th- to 15th-century paintings, and artists include Duccio, Uccello, Van Eyck, Lippi, Mantegna, Botticelli and Memling.The main West Wing houses 16th-century paintings, and artists include Leonardo da Vinci, Cranach, Michelangelo, Raphael, Bruegel, Bronzino, Titan and Veronese.The North Wing houses 17th-century paintings, and artists include Caravaggio, Rubens, Poussin, Van Dyck, Velazquez, Claude and Vermeer.The East Wing houses 18th- to early 20th-century paintings, and artists include Canaletto, Goya, Turner, Constable, Renoir and Van Gogh.Opening Hours:The Gallery is open every day from 10am to 6pm (Fridays 10am to 9pm) and is free, but charges apply to some special exhibitions.Getting There:Nearest underground stations: Charing Cross (2-minute walk), Leicester Square (3-minute walk), Embankment (7-minute walk), and Piccadilly Circus (8-minute walk).33.

阅读理解The time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world’s languages. Today humans express themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings change. The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English. People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesn’t come in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing?The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever.The future of the world’s languages depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allowed them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.56. Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _____languages in the world.A. 4,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. no more than 2057. In “The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing thelanguag es of the smaller cultures,” the verb “replace” means “_____”.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to use a second thing in place of the first thingC. to find good place for somethingD. to decide how important something is58. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a major worldlanguage, _____.A. radio and television would all use the languageB. it would be easier for them to share their ideasC. lessons at schools would be taught in the languageD. people would respect their own culture more59. Also, the passage says that if nobody spoke the languages of smallercultures, _____.A. Many of the words for things we do not know would be lost.B. knowledge would come from the mouths of the eldersC. people would have difficult in working togetherD. there would be no smaller cultures.60. By saying “Time will have the last word,” the writer means “ _____”.A. let us wait and seeB. we have time to do somethingC. it is too late to do anythingD. it is only a problem of time根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2014年高考英语模拟试题（三）第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力（略）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AIts a name that needs no addresses. Everyone knows Santa Claus lives at the North Pole.So letters sent to Santa Claus find their way to the small town of North Pole deep in Alaska， including those simply addressed to Santa. Last year， 120，000 letters arrived from 26 countries， not including the thousands with no return addresses.Those who have return addresses usually get a reply and a North Pole postmark that has delighted children all over the world for decades. They feel happy to receive Santas reply.Letters arrive all the year round in the town of 1，600， where streets have names such as Santa Claus Lane and Kris Kringle Drive. Around Thanksgiving， they start pouring in by the thousands each day as Christmas approaches. Even letters without stamps get through， an exception for the U.S. Postal Service.“This is special because it has Santas name on it，” said Debra Cornelius， a supervisor at the main post office in nearby Fairbanks，where the letters are kept during the holiday.Gabby Gaborik is among several dozen volunteers who are busy sending off replies to children who sent return addresses.In his 10 years as a volunteer， Gaborik has seen every kind of wish. There are children who want the latest toys they see on TV. There are children who ask for miracles， some wanting their mother back for Christmas or their father back from Iraq， even though he died there.Replies get a North Pole postmark， including a halfmoon drawing of Santas face. Even late letters get a reply. Gaborik said，“It says something like ‘Thanks for writing. Santas been really busy，anything the children might want to hear.”21. Letters written to Santa Claus without an address can arrive at the North Pole because .A. all letters without an address are sent thereB. people believe that Santa Claus lives thereC. this kind of letter is sent with a special postmarkD. streets named Santa Claus Lane can be found there22. We can know from the text that .A. letters written to Santa Claus are sent freeB. Santa Claus replies to children always arrive at ChristmasC. therere thousands of letters sent to Santa Claus every monthD. many people write to children for Santa Claus asking for no pay 29. Whats the purpose of the Sapling Project？A. To beautify the city.B. To educate the children.C. To solve the noise problem.D. To benefit the next generation.30. The Sapling Project is special in .A. its types of treesB. its planting placesC. planting trees to save forestsD. getting country people involved31. What can we know about the Sapling Project？A. Few people have joined it.B. It has a history of two years.C. It charges people a little money for the saplings.D. Participants are responsible to care for the saplings.DNot all research begins with a plan. Some studies begin by accident. Meredith Schafer says that is what happened with her and Cynthia Sagers. Cynthia Sagers is a biology professor at the University of Arkansas. Meredith Schafer is a graduate student.They were traveling in the state of North Dakota on a project.They noticed pretty yellow flowers. They recognized them as canola. Farmers grow canola for seeds to make cooking oil. Canola is also used for animal feed and biofuel.But the canola plants they saw were not growing in farm fields. They were growing along the road. The researchers decided to test the plants. They had brought along special testing papers for the project they were working on. They broke up some of the leaves in water and added the test paper.The results showed that the weedy canola plants contained genetic （基因的） changes. If a plant is genetically modified，that means its genes have been changed to produce desired qualities，which may have higher economical value.This summer， the researchers from Arkansas went back to North Dakota. This time they went on a road trip to find canola. They traveled more than 5，000 kilometers. They stopped about every eight kilometers to count plants and take samples to test in their vehicle. What they found， they say， was the first discovery in the United States of wild canola plants with modified genes.Meredith Schafer presented the findings at a recent meeting of the Ecological Society of America.The scientists found canola plants in almost half of the places they investigated. They tested a total of 288 plants. They foundthat 80% of those plants contained genes from genetically engineered canola.Some crop plants are modified to resist damage from the chemicals that farmers spray to kill weeds. There are two proteins that can give canola the ability to resist two commonly used weed killers. One protein gives resistance against glyphosate（草甘膦）. The other protein gives resistance against glufosinate（草铵膦）. Two of the plants growing in the wild showed resistance to both kindsof weed killers. Professor Sagers says canola varieties with these genetic qualities have not been released on the market. This suggests the result of wild populations reproducing on their own.32. What was the purpose of Cynthia Sagers and Meredith Schafer traveling in North Dakota？A. To carry out a project on canola plants.B. To work on a project we dont know.C. To make a research on genetic changes.D. To present their findings at a meeting.33. In what way do the wild canola plants differ from those growing in farm fields？A. They have naturally modified genes.B. They produce more cooking oil.C. They are more easily damaged.D. They are able to kill weeds.34. Which of the following is NOT true？A. All researches do not begin with plans.B. Some discoveries were made by chance.C. Modified genes were invented by biologists.D. Most weedy canola contained genetic changes.35. We can infer from the passage that .A. farmers grow canola for seeds to make cooking oilB. some plants are genetically modified to adapt to surroundingsC. farmers have begun to grow genetically modified canolaD.those wild plants contained genes from genetically engineered canola第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
