In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 37 ; But what make bolgging different from writing in a(n) 38 diary?The biggest difference is that a blog is much more 39 than a diary. Usually，a teenager treats his diary like a book full of 40 that he does not want to 41 with others.It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 42 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her 43 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.44 I was her age, I wrote about the same thing, but 45 in my dairy. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 46 that my sister might read it.The biggest 47 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 48 about him in my diary, he would never know. 49 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might 50 her blog and get angry.There are also 51 to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, ”Nobody cares about me”. because no one would 52 about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friend would quickly 53 and tell her how much they 54 her. Blog help people 55 in contact with their friend and know what thepeople around them are doing.36. A. the same B. interesting C. difficult D. daily37. A. simple B. special C. similar D. different38. A. personal B. ordinary C. meaningful D. traditional39. A. attractive B. public C. exciting D. quick40. A. thoughts B. puzzles C. ideas D. secrets41. A. tell B. share C. publish D. solve42.

Thank goodness!"School was over and I was tired. I sat at the front of the school bus.Janie, the driver, always tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere by talking. I try to listen politely, but usually I’m too busy thinking about my day. On this day, however, her talk was worth listening to."My father’s ill," she said to no one in particular. I could see worry in her eyes. I had never seen her like this before. She always meets students with a smile.With a sudden chance of interest, I asked, "What’s wrong with him?"With her eyes wet and her voice unusual, she answered, "Heart trouble. " Her eyes lowered as she continued, "I’ve already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him." I couldn’t answer. My heart ached for her.I sat on the seat thinking of the great pain my own mother was thrown into when her father died.I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her. I wouldn’t want anyone to go through that.Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus driver, which was just her job. She had a whole world of family and cares too.I shouldn’t have been so selfish. I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver. I had judged her by her job and brushed her off as unimportant.I shouldn’t have been so selfish and self-centered. Understanding people is an art.60. When the students get on the school bus, Janie usually__________.A. listens to musicB. talks about her own worryC. sits on her seat without wordsD. meets them with a smile61. After she learned Janie’s story, the writer thought of__________.A. her father’s deathB. her mother’s painC. the ache of her own heartD. the pain of Janie’s parents62. The writer felt herself selfish because she had__________.A. thought of Janie as nothing but a driverB. made only a few friends in the schoolC. hardly thought of herselfD. never listened to others63. In this passage the writer tries to tell us that__________.A. losing parents makes people sad and helplessB. understanding the people around us takes timeC. we should learn to understand the people around usD. it’s not right to judge the people around us by their clothesCPerhaps a parent’s most important contribution toward raising a trustful child is to develop a relationship founded on trust. A child of any age will feel proud and grown-up if parents frequently show their trust. In court a defendant(被告) is innocent until proved guilty. But in the family, a teenager “defendant” is too often assumed guilty.Even when the child is caught in a complete lie, this should not be the end of trust. A parent can tell a child that a single lie is forgivable. Yet it should be clear that if lies continue, the child, like the boy who cried wolf, will suffer loss of trust.When my wife and I discovered that our son Tom, then 13, had lied about throwing a party while we were away, we grounded him for a month. We also told Tom that we could no longer trust him, and we could not allow him to stay alone overnight again. This loss of freedom was an important lesson; he learned how hard it is to live with people when they don’t trust him. As a result, now more than three years later we can again trust Tom to stay alone overnight.Parents must always remember there is no easy answer to this universal problem of lying.We can set a good example, allow for privacy, monitor friendship, develop trust and punish wrong doing, but still we discover our child has lied to us. Finally that’s why there is a need for trust on both sides of a parent-child relationship. Lying destroys closeness and friendship. For that reason, parents should always try to give a child the feeling that they can be trusted with the truth. Parents may start with a child’s trust, but as the child grows older, parents must earn it. 64．When the writer and his wife discovered that their son had lied, they _________.A．took him from all his freedom B．decided that they could never trust him againC．forbade him to stay alone overnight for more than three yearsD．arranged for him to live with people who do not trust him for more than three years 65．We can infer from the passage that very often ________.A．parents don’t trust their child as they shouldB．defendants are usually proved not guilty in courtC．parents have too much trust in their child D．some children are founded guilty in court 66．According to the passage, the writer believes that _____________.A．parents shouldn’t punish their children even if they lieB．it is not easy to deal with the problem of lying as parentsC．there are many effective ways to prevent children from lyingD．a child will stop telling lies as he grows up67．What does the underlined word “ground” mean in the passage?A．To teach someone the basic things they should know in order to be able to do something.B．To stop a child going out with their friends as a punishment for behaving badly.C．To put someone on the ground and beat him.D．To ask someone to stay on the ground and not to move.DA typical Chinese Internet user is a young male who prefers instant messaging to e-mail, favors news, music and games sites and seldom makes online purchases（购物）. According to a study, about two-thirds of survey participants use the Internet for news —often entertainment-related — or for online games. About half download music and movies.They also tend to prefer instant messaging to e-mail, and they are depending on the Internet more frequently than before to communicate with others who have the same professions, hobbies and political interests. Online purchases still remain unpopular in China. Three-quarters of users surveyed have never bought anything over the Internet, and only 10 percent make purchases even once a month. Among those who do buy online, most pay for entertainment while others buy phone cards, or computer hardware or software.“Many people don’t trust the quality of goods bought online,” Guo said Wednesday. “If they buy it in a store and don’t like it, they can easily bring it back.”The survey was done in five major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu andChangsha. Results do not necessarily project countrywide because Internet use in rural areas is lower than in cities. Guo describes the typical netizen in the five cities surveyed as young, male,richer and more highly educated. Males make up two-thirds of the Internet community, and more than 80 percent of users are under 24. Among people ages 25 to 29, 60 percent to 80 percent goonline.China has more than 100 million people online, second in the world to the United States.68. A typical Chinese Internet user may be the one who _________.A. likes to send e-mailsB. likes to buy goods onlineC. likes to pay for entertainmentD. likes the games sites 69. Online purchases still remain unpopular in China mainly because _________.A. it is more difficult for sales returnsB. peopl e haven’t computersC. it is not convenient to purchase on lineD. all goods bought online are of low quality70. Which of the following words fails to describe the typical netizens in the five cities?A. well educatedB. richerC. femaleD. young 第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下面短文，并依照所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

However, not all the p ersons know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and that is harmful to human health, too.People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf. Today, however, scientists believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened b y the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave（织）cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old persons, for these young people like to listen to pop music and most of pop music is a kind of noise. Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people’s life difficult and unpleasant, or even make people ill or even drive them mad.It is said that a continuous noise of over 85 decibels（分贝）can cause deafness. Now the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less than 85 decibels.In China, the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise pollution problems.56.

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

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

More than 515 million guests have traveled to this American landmark from around the world since the park first opened to guests on July 17, 1955. The park consists of many world-famous sections, such as Main Street, Adventure land, New Orleans Square, and so on.Magic Kingdom, Disney World, FloridaMagic Kingdom is a theme park within the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, near Orlando opened on October 1, 1971. It is the most famous theme park in Florida. The park’s design and attractions don’t make much difference from Disneyland Park in Anaheim.EPCOT, Disney World, FloridaEPCOT is the second theme park built at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Florida. The park opened on October 1, 1982, and was named EPCOT Center from 1982 to 1993. It was the largest Disney theme park in the world until 1998, when Disney’s Animal Kingdom opened.Disney-MGM Studios, FloridaMGM’s streets are the home for some great movie-themed attractions with a history of less than 30years.

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

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

Her family was very poor. She decided to help her family even when she was very young, so she learned to use a gun, and began hunting (打猎) animals for food. She could shoot them without losing the important parts of the meat．Soon her shooting ability became well known. When she was sixteen, she was invited to a competition with a famous marksman (神枪手), Frank Butler. Annie surprised everyone by winning the competition. Later that year she and Frank married.In 1882, Annie Oakley and Frank Butler started putting on shows together. Frank Butler was the star of the show and she was his assistant. The famous Native American leader, Sitting Bull, thought so highly of her shooting ability that he called her “Little Sure Shot”. Later Annie Oakley became the star of the show and Frank Butler was her assistant.

Haven't you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of "early bilinguals" who had learnt asecond language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference."Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language," said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link betweenbilingualism and maths skills．"Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(灵活的), "he said．"You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas."The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and 34．Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better．"Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world," explained the scientists.13.The main subject talked about in this passage is ______ .A．science on learning a second languageB．man’s ability of learning a second languageC．1anguage can help brain powerD．1anguage learning and maths study14．In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ______ .A．say language is also a kind of physical laborB．prove that one needs more practice when he(she) is learning a languageC．to show the importance of using the language when you learn the languageD．make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well15．The underlined word “bilingual” probably means ______ .A．a researcher on language learningB．a person who is good at learning foreign languagesC．a person who can speak two languagesD．an active language learner二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）5.（10分）第二节七选五（共5小题，每题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Recently I went with him and I was there simply to give to give people directions and send them on their way. It was hot and tiring, and I was having much fun. Honestly, I didn’t really care, and I was quite half-hearted about it.Then I saw two girls who had the same work as I did, but they were smiling and happy. They helped people who looked lost and asked them if they needed help with great passion( 激情). At the moment, the elder girl went over to a poor old woman. She talked politely to her and gave her a warm hug smiling. The other girl walked up to a man in rags( 衣衫褴褛的). She said, “Hello, sir, is there something I can do to help you today?” She spoke to this man as though he were a very import person! Never in my life had I seen people who showed such care and love towards the poor. Yes, this is what sympathy(同情) is all about.To love another is not only to know what they want, but also to express sympathy towards them. After seeing how those girls helped the poor people, I knew I could do my job better. Taking time to show sympathy in my life has made a difference to my chatacter. Sympathy is the key. Hoding it, I open every door to let the sunshine flow in.56. What did the author do when she joined the organisation?A. She gave people directionsB. She offered food to the poor.C. She taught poor children.D. She offered medical care.57．We can know from the passage that the two girlsA. Had the same feeling about the work as the author didB. were also from the poor areasC. played happily with the poor during their workD. showed interest and love for their work58. Which of the following can NOT describe the two girls？A. caringB. strong-willedD. warm-hearted D. joyful59. The writer wrote the passage mainly toA. encourage people to show sympathy to othersB. share what she experienced on that dayC. praise those who show sypathy to othersD. tell people how to do their work betterBIn many countryies, English is being taught at nearly all school and universities, and studentslearn English at younger and younger ages. Many people even take extra classes to study English after school, but their efforts just don’t seem to pay off. After many years of studying, they are still not fluent in English, even those who have got doctor’ s degrees. Why?The reason is that they only want to know English but they don’t want to use it. For examinations, but are examninationas a use? As long as they pass the axams, they will stop study studying English. Some students say they hate English while they are studying English very hard for examnations! What a pity!Another reason is that many people are used to translatingf every English word into their own language. Many people do this because they find it helps them understand the whole texts. As a live language must be used to represent the real world , many people just use English to express their own language. Without a connection(联系)between reality and knowledge, many people find that English is not very useful, so there is no doubt that they will give it up.This situation still exists. To solve this problem, teachers should change the way they teach English. Instead, relate English materials directly to knowledge without translation during teaching. To achive this, they can set up courses that include some non-English subjects, such as maths, to be given in English.60. The passage is mainly aboutA. why English is so difficult to learnB. the popularity of English in the worldC. the situation of English study in many countriesD. the differentce between English and other languages61.

They don’t work hard at it.B. They don’t study it properlyC. They have no talent for itD. They don’t start studying it when young.63. We are told in the passage thatA. many people give up English because it’s hard to learnB. maths must be taught in EnglishC. if you can translate a passage, you can understand itD. English should be used to describe the world.CStill wondering where to go during the long holiday?

This famous scientist argues that it is “quite possible”that some aliens live in the universe(宇宙). They might have quite big ships and could come to the Earth.The 68-year-old scientist has spent three years working on the Discovery Channel TV plays. He wrote most parts of the plays and kept a close eye on the making. The plays explain why he believes in aliens and the forms they could probably take. There are also many imagines pictures of aliens, for example , the animals living under thick ice on Europa, one of Jupiter’s(木星) moons.“There are billions of stars and it is impossible that the Earth is the only palce where life has lived,” professor Hawking said. “It is quite possib le that are not alone. They might have much better technologies than we have. They might not be quite friendly to us, ” he added.John. Smithson, the maker of the TV plays, says, “ He wanted to make some TV plays that could be interesting for the public, as well as scientists. that’ s hard to do. If they have too much science in them, then the public may find them boring; if they don’t have enough science in them, then scientists will find them boring.”68.

From the last paragraph, we can know that John SmithsonA. thinks these TV plays hard to makeB. is another scientist working with HawkingC. believes Hawking’s view is not trueD. makes the public interested in the TV playsEBlame(责备) is one of the biggsest problems that we meet in everyday life. We believe that the world is there to make us happy. But when that doesn’t happen, we blame other people, places or events that we think are the causes of our unhappiness.Everything we feel comes from within us, however. We create it and we live through it. If we create unhappiness for ourselves, the world will show us that unhappiness, but if we create joy, peace and love for ourselves, then they are what we will get back.Can blame solve any problem? Simply, it can’t. When people have done something that makes us angry, afraid or hurt, we are doing nothing more than showing them the emotion we feel inside.We have choices about things that make us happy,. We sometimes prefer to take the easier choices, the ones that keep us in our comfer zone(地带). But how comfortable is ti really when we are annoyed by someone else?Sometimes we just have to go out for comfort zone, which may mean facing something we don’t like. Perhaps we feel like a victim and don’t stand up when people don’t respect us. Maybe we are afraid of a situation, so we run away from it, instead of facing it.Whatever the problem is, we have a choice every day to face it with fear, angry, or guilt, or with love, kindness, or peace. How will you walk into your day?72.
