AI have many new teachers in high school, but Lori Runkle, my English Language and Composition teacher, is my favorite teacher.Ms. Runkle enjoys getting to know more about students, so I have many chances to talk with her after class. I have always wanted to become a journalist. Since Ms. Runkle used to be a journalist back in the United States, she has introduced many helpful journalistic writing skills to me.Although she is my teacher, Ms. Runkle and I are more like friends. She often invites my classmates and me to take part in different activities outside of school. For example, I went to listen to a journalist's speech, which helped me better understand current events (时事).Not only does Ms. Runkle talk with me outside of school, she is also a great teacher in the classroom. English Language and Composition is a really hard subject for a second language learner. We felt worried in the beginning, but Ms. Runkle really makes an effort to help us out. In class, Ms. Runkle always encourages students to question everything to keep us active. One part of class I love the most is when groups of students are required to give speeches on events that are happening in the world. It requires a lot of deep thinking and I really learn quite a lot from it.I love Ms. Runkle very much. She not only helps me to get good scores, but also acts as a good friend and always gives me advice on life.1. After class, the author _____.A. seldom sees Ms. RunkleB. talks with Ms. Runkle quite a lotC. enjoys introducing Ms. Runkle to her friendsD. often invites Ms. Runkle to different activities2. We can infer from the text that Ms. Runkle is _____.A. friendly and helpfulB. kind and humorousC. clever and activeD. strict and boring3. The author's favorite part of Ms. Runkle's class is when Ms. Runkle _____.A. tells them how to get good scoresB. asks them questions about the worldC. asks them to describe current eventsD. tells them about events that are happening4. What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A. To express how much she misses Ms. Runkle.B. To look back on her special high school life.C. To describe an unforgettable teacher.D. To show what makes a good teacher.BIn my thirty years as a time management speaker, I have observed (观察) a lot of what we can not and should not do to increase our daily results. Time management is not necessarily working harder, but rather smarter.A lot of our time management has to do more with what we are not doing rather than what we are doing. Sometimes our mistakes will keep us from running at a full pace. Here are some time management mistakes we should all avoid to help us increase our daily efficiency: Start your day without a plan of action. Without a plan, you will have worked hard but may not have done enough right things. Time management is not doing the wrong things more rapidly. That just gets us nowhere faster. Time management is doing the right things.Work with a messy desk or work area. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends, on average, one and a half hours per day in looking for things. That’s seven and a half hours per week. If you have ever visited the office of a top manager, you can easily find that he or she is working with a clean desk environment.Don’t take a lunch break. Many people do not take a lunch break. They work through that time period in the hope that it will give them more time to finish the task. Studies have shown that it may work just the opposite. After doing what we do for several hours, our mind will become boring. A lunch break, even a fifteen-minute break, gives us a chance to get our batteries all charged up again.5. With a plan of action, you can ______.A. work harderB. do the wrong things more rapidlyC. avoid doing wrong thingsD. get nowhere faster6. Working with a messy desk or work area, you will ______.A. waste a lot of timeB. find the things you need easilyC. become a top managerD. save seven and a half hours per week7. The text mainly tells us ______.A. how to avoid wasting timeB. we should get our batteries charged upC. how important time management isD. some time management mistakesCOnce, two phoenix birds flew over a small village in Hunan province. The village was so beautiful that the birds never wanted to leave. This story was recited to me during my visit to Fenghuang, adding a mystery to this ancient town.Fenghuang is a snapshot (快照) of idyllic (田园诗般的) village life in rural China. Set alongside the banks of the Tuojiang River, Fenghuang is full of small, winding alleys andsurrounded by green hills. Having travelled directly from the bustling city of Changsha, Fenghuang was a breath of fresh air.When I visited Fenghuang, it was July. My friend and I excitedly explored, walking along the ancient city wall and crossing the beautiful, old bridges. Despite the crowds of tourists, it seemed as if life in this corner of China had not changed for centuries. People were very relaxed. They were never bothered by the hot weather nor by the tourists, walking, eating and playing outdoors. On our first evening we bought spicy, cold noodles from a street vendor and ate on the riverbank as we watched the sun set.We stayed in a small hotel similar to many of the traditional buildings in the village. Our room was built on high stilts (桩子) over the banks of the river. From our window we could hear the rush of the water and the sounds of excited tourists travelling in small boats downstream. Even in modern times, the river continues to be the life of the village. We saw people busy at work catching fish, or ferrying tourists for sightseeing. Young children played in shallow waters and families washed their clothes and dishes.Although there were many visitors to Fenghuang, we did not see any other foreign people during our stay. It felt like we’d found a treasure to know that we had visited somewhere off the beaten track!After two days’ exploring the village, I could fully understand the legend of the phoenix. I was unwilling to leave.8. The author mentions the story of the phoenix birds in the first paragraph mainly to ______.A. show her deep interest in Chinese cultureB. introduce the topic of her trip to the town of FenghuangC. explain how the town of Fenghuang got its nameD. describe the beautiful scenery of the town of Fenghuang9. Which of the following is mentioned in the article about the town of Fenghuang?A. food cultureB. geographyC. living habitsD. weather and climate10. We can infer from the article that the author found her trip to the town of Fenghuang ______.A. boringB. relaxingC. quite an adventureD. a waste of time and money11. The underlined expression “off the beaten track” in the fifth paragraph is closest to “______” in meaning.A. far away from other people and placesB. not on a small pathC. next to a broken railwayD. easy to reach by carDYears ago, the American writer Kurt Vonnegut often said there was one story that would always make a million dollars: “Cinderella” (《灰姑娘》).“Cinderella” made more like $70 million in ticket sales when it opened last weekend. But the movie got a mixed reaction. David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter praised the movie and said, “Anyone will find something to enjoy in it.” Steven Rea of The Philadelphia Inquirer called the movie “a winning re-do.” Richard Corliss of Time magazine wrote that “Disney finall y got Cinderella right.” Other people were not as happy with the movie. Sara Stewart of the New York Post wrote, “This Cinderella is all dressed up with nowhere very interesting to go.”Although different people think differently towards the movie, what is clear, however, is the movie's business success. It is not only popular in the theaters but also in sales. And Disney has widened its usual market for “Cinderella” products.There are products connected to the Disney movie targeted (面向) not only at little girls, but women, too. For example, the famous shoe designer Jimmy Choo worked with Disney to create “Cinderella's shoes.” You can buy them for about $5,000. At that price, you would not want to lose one at the party, even if that is the way you get your prince .The makeup (化妆品) company MAC quickly sold all its products connected to “Cinderella.” HSN is a popular website selling clothing and objects for the home. The marketer is now also selling “Cinderella” products.So, is there anything left for the children, those people we think of as the traditional audience for the age-old tale? Yes, you can find toys and other children's products at the American store JCPenney. Of course, you can also visit a Disney store.12. What is the best title for the text?A. Sellers of “Cinderella” productsB. “Cinderella” is more than a movieC. What makes “Cinderella” so popularD. Unknown stories behind “Cinderella”13. The underlined part “a mixed reaction” in Paragraph 2 probably means _____.A. many changesB. different storiesC. advantages and disadvantagesD. agreements and disagreements14. Products connected to “Cinderella” _____.A. do not sell very wellB. are not yet on the marketC. are mainly targeted at little girlsD. are designed for a wide group of buyers15. Where can children buy toys connected to “Cinderella”?A. At MAC.B. At MAC and HSN.C. At JCPenney.D. At HSN and a Disney store.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。

AFrom American Express, wedding guests will,on average,spend $673 on each wedding they attend this year. It includes airfare ($225), hotel ($170), dining out ($116) and dressing up ($95) and the gift. If you have weddings to attend this year, here are some tips for you to avoid breaking the bank.1. Book flights in advanceThe moment you decide to attend a wedding is the time to check flight prices at the best time. Plane fares are higher in the summer, especially in July and August. Booking in advance will save you money, as will watch for sales on lower-cost carriers like JetBlue and Frontier. You can check Google Flights for a calendar of prices showing the cheapest days to fly from apps like Hopper to get real-time alerts when a fare is at its lowest price point.2. Don't blow your budget on the giftIf you've got the money, an expensive gift is lovely. But there's no need to take out loans to prove your love for the happy couple. Skip an expensive necklace by giving (an appropriate amount of) cash instead. To save on the gift, consider making one: A photo album or scrapbook of memories with the bride and groom shows how much you care. You could also share the gift with other guest(s) or even make gifts with DIY ideas by yourself to save money.3. Use old dresses and suitsYou don't always have to be on a new dress for a wedding. While men have the option of repeating their suits, women are more likely to spend money on new clothes for the special occasion. But before you take out your wallet, consider reinventing something already in yourcloset. Belts, colorful scarves, shoes can bring life to any outfit.21. How much does a wedding guest spend on the gift on average?A. $673B. $225C. $67D. $9522. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. People always wear their new clothes at the wedding.B. Men are more likely to wear new clothes to attend a wedding.C. It saves you money to creatively wear old clothes.D. Ladies tend to wear their favorite suits for a wedding.23. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To help people save money while holding their weddings.B. To give some tips on saving money to attend a wedding.C. To introduce general expenses of attending a wedding.D. To state some aspects to be considered while holding weddings.BIt had been a long winter. Bitter cold, snowy days had hit us again and again. On the warmer days there had been little sunshine, but only cold, icy rain. The sun had become such a rare sight that I had to look at a picture of it on my wall calendar from time to time to remember what it looked like. The grass had remained brown and dormant(潜伏的)in the grassland. My own backyard had turned into a muddy mess that tried to steal the shoes right off my feet as I walked on it. My heart ached and longed for spring, and my own good cheer had trouble rising up against the continuous, cold, gray days.The rain poured down on me as I walked my dogs, holding their leashes in my icy fingers. I looked up at the sky hoping to see the sun smiling down with its warm, golden face. But it was no use. It was then, however, that I saw it. It wasn’t the smiling face of the sun in the sky but a little, yellow face peeking(微露出) through the mud. It was a tiny flower, and it filled my heart with hope and joy. I smiled and thanked God for this little sign that winter would soon be over and that spring would arrive. I felt my good cheer rising up at last and I promised God that I would share it with everyone I could.One day that tiny flower’s seeds will fill the grassland with little, yellow faces smiling up from the ground. Its work will make this world a better and more beautiful place. May we all do the same. May we all shine our light and share our love even on the coldest and grayest days. May we all help to share a bit of spring in winter. May we all work to make this world better and brighter even when it is at its darkest.24. Why did the author look at a picture of sun on a wall calendar from time to time?A. Because she hadn’t seen sunshine for a long time.B. Because she wanted to check how long the cold winter would last.C. B ecause she couldn’t go out.D. Because she looked forward to spring.25. The author felt _______ before she found the tiny flower.A. worriedB. angryC. hopefulD. frustrated26. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The tiny flo wer was found in the author’s backyard.B. The tiny flower inspired the author very much.C. The author would share the tiny flower with others.D. The author would never mind the cold weather.27. What can be the best title of the passage?A. A Cold WinterB. A Tiny flowerC. Sharing Makes the WorldD. Hopes Make Our LifeCChinese has overtaken French, Spanish and German to become one of the most promising foreign languages for job seekers in the UK. Research shows graduates in Chinese earn an average yearly salary of 31,000 pounds or more.Chinese students set themselves up for a different university experience from others who take traditional subjects. While an English student may have as little as six hours of a week, those studying Chinese are in class for most of the day.“I had a lot of friends on other courses who didn’t do much in first or second year. You can’t play at Chinese. You have to spend hours and hours writing characters,” says Hannah, who graduated in Chinese Studies from Sheffield University.“The first year was really difficult. Most of my friends admitted at one point to crying because of the pressure. I was almost told at one point that I might want to reconsider and drop out.”So are the evenings in learning characters while your friends are at the student bar really worth it? Despite the painful studying experience, most of the graduates think so. They use Chinese in their chosen careers, and would not have been in the jobs they do now without their knowledge of the language.Liberty now works for the civil service in Beijing. She earned a place on the Department for International Development graduate scheme with a salary of over 30,000 pounds within two years.“The degree was absolutely worth it.Looking around at people I know who have studied French or Spanish at university, there’s not such a chance to use it in the workplace.”Hannah has set her apart in the workplace, but she warns ambitious students to think about whether they would really want to live in China in the future before setting their sights on a profitable career path. “Some people think they are going to learn Chinese and then be a big success, but I think it’s important to be quite realistic about that.”28. What does the underlined phrase “play at” probably mean in Paragraph 2?A. Treat seriouslyB. Learn lazilyC. Talk amusinglyD. Cheat cleverly29. What can you learn from Liberty’s and Hannah’s career experience?A. Chinese degree helped them to find satisfying jobs.B. There are students learning characters at the student bar.C. Graduates with French or Spanish degree have no chance to find jobs.D. By learning Chinese, people are to have a successful career.30. What’s Hannah’s a ttitude to choosing Chinese as a possible career?A. DoubtfulB. IndifferentC. PuzzledD. Objective31. What is the main idea of the text?A. Many foreign college students come to China to seek jobs.B. Some college students consider dropping out Chinese because of its pressure.C. Chinese is difficult and college students should be realistic about choosing it.D. Chinese degree needs painful working, but it is worthy in job seeking.DThe world's oceans are sick, and getting sicker every day. Two new studies show the warming of Earth's atmosphere is removing oxygen from ocean waters.Oxygen is necessary for all life in the oceans, except for a few extremely small organisms. And researchers said oxygen levels are low enough to threaten all the ocean life that depends on it.Denise Breitburg is an ocean scientist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. She is also a member of the Global Ocean Oxygen Network, a team of scientists organized by the United Nations to study the issue. She told the Associated Press, "If you can't breathe, nothing else matters. That pretty much describes it ."Scientists with the Global Ocean Oxygen Network reported that more than 32 million square kilometers of ocean are low in oxygen. These affected areas reach a depth of about 200 meters. This area is bigger than Africa, the second largest continent. The scientists say the area of low oxygen levels has grown about 16 percent since 1950.The Global Ocean Oxygen Network's report is the widest reaching look at decreasing oxygen levels in the world's seas so far. Lisa Levin is a professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a co-author of the report. In her words, "The low oxygen problem is the biggest unknown climate change consequence out there."Levin said past research had shown low oxygen areas that were the result of agricultural pollution. She said past studies also showed how warmer waters had created a lack of oxygen. But Levin said this latest study shows how both problems are connected by common causes and possible solutions.Co-author Denise Breitburg said that some low oxygen levels in the world's ocean are natural, but not to the extent found. Wind patterns and ocean currents, believed caused by global warming, are preventing oxygen from sinking below the surface of the water. In addition, warmer water does not hold as much oxygen and less oxygen mixes into the water, she said.32. Why are the world’s oceans sick?A. Because the ocean life is sick.B. Because the Earth’s atmosphere is becoming warmer.C. Because the oxygen is being removed from ocean waters.D. Because there is too much oxygen to threaten the ocean life.33. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Oxygen being essential to ocean life.B. Oceans being sicker and sicker.C. Oxygen being not enough in the ocean.D. Atmosphere removing oxygen from ocean waters.34. About _______ million square kilometers of ocean are lack of oxygen in 1950.A. 32B. 27.6C. 37D. 20035. From the passage we can learn that_______.A. all life in the ocean depends on oxygen to liveB. oxygen levels in the ocean are likely to climbC. air pollution leads to low oxygen levels in oceansD. cold water holds more oxygen than warm water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。

from all wals of life to read aloud their favorite poems,essays and boos,or even personal letters they wrote to their loved ones.Just as the weely show has been well-received,its reading

ADr Almeida left school at 16 with little formal education but got a job as a laboratory technician in histopathology ( 组织病理学 ) at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Later she moved to London to further her career and in 1954 married Enriques Almeida, an artist.The couple and their young daughter moved to Toronto in Canada and it was at the Ontario Cancer Institute that Dr Almeida developed her outstanding skills with an electron microscope.She pioneered a method which better visualized ( 成像 ) viruses by using antibodies to gather them. Her talents were recognized in the UK and she was invited to work atSt Thomas’s Hospital Medical School in London.On her return, she began to cooperate with Dr David Tyrrell. Dr Tyrrell and his team were able to grow quite a few common cold-associated viruses. One sample, known as B814, was discovered in 1960. They found that they were able to transmit ( 传染 ) common cold symptoms to volunteers but they were unable to grow it in routine cell culture ( 细胞培养 ). However, volunteer studies showed its growth in organ cultures ( 器官培养 ). Dr Tyrrell wondered if itcould be seen by an electron microscope. They sent samples to Almeida who found that they were like flu viruses but not exactly the same. She identified what became known as the first human coronavirus ( 冠状病毒 ).Dr Almeida had actually seen particles ( 微粒) like this before while investigating viruses in mice and chickens. However, when she sent her paper about this discovery to a medical journal, it was rejected. It was two years later that the first photographs of the virus she had seen were published in Journal of General Virology. It was named coronavirus because of the crown surrounding it on the viral image.21. Why did Dr Almeida return to work in the UK ?A. Because her family did not like Toronto.B. Because the UK appreciated her talents.C. Because she bettered an electron microscope.D. Because she was the first one to visualize viruses.22. What can we know about B814?A. It could be grown in routine cell culture.B. It was unable to develop in organ cultures.C. It’s exactly the same with influenza viruses.D. It was identified as the first human coronavirus.23. What can we connect with the name “coronavirus”?A. Its viral image.B. Its deadly power.。

They play basketball together, share meals and dance to hip-hop like no one‘s watching.The trainer was asked to work with the 13-year-old boy, who has Down syndrome (唐氏症), because his coworker who dealt with the boy was out of town last spring. Callari had never worked with someone with a disability before. He was anxious the first day he met Parker. But Parker’s big smile and cheery introduction immediately put him at ease. He reminded Callari of himself when he was a teenager. Like Parker, Callari has also faced his fair share of challenges over the years.As a high schooler, Callari described himself as being the weak kid. When it came to sports, he was always overlooked. His dream of playing baseball in college quickly faded away. When he went to college, Callari turned to a new sport. His younger brothertrained him to become a boxer. Callari participated in five matches. Out of four of those fights he was the underdog, and he won three times. "I know how it feels, "Callari said. "Society tells you that you can't do this, you can’t do that. "When it comes to Parker, Callari refuses to accept the word “can't”The friends meet twice a week to train. They bike, box, run and work on their core with push-ups. Parker has a short attention span, so it's callari's job to keep him focused. "If Parker can do it, if he's having fun, even with his frustration, then people will ask, ‘Why can't I do that?” Callari said. “That's the whole task right now.”Callari recalls parker's mom once thanking him for taking a "chance" on her son. Callari told her he never viewed it that way. Parker may be the student, but Callari says he's also the one who's learning24. Why was Callari asked to train Parker?A. They shared the same interests.B Parkers parents had faith in Callari.C. Callari took place of his absent colleague,D Callari was an expert in Down syndrome25. What can we learn about Callari when he was in high school?A. He was good at sports.B. He was out of condition.C. He was looked down upon by everyoneD. He was influenced deeply by his brother26. What attitude does Callari have to Parker?A. Grateful B Sympathetic. C. Cautious D. Critical27. What is the text mainly about?A. An inspiring story of a disabled boyB. A high schooler suffering lots of failure.C. The friendship between a disabled boy and his personal trainerD. Ways of developing friendship with the boy with Down syndromeCBeing mistreated at work can make people take out their negative emotions on loved ones at home. But a new study suggests that getting more exercise and sleep may help people better cope with them by leaving them at work, where they belong.Previous research shows that employees who are looked down on or insulted by colleagues are likely to express their frustrations and behave angrily toward people outside of work, says study co-author Shannon Taylor, a management professor at the University of Central Florida's College of Business.The new study backs up this idea, but offers a bit of good news as well: Employees who averaged more than 10, 500 steps a day or burned at least 2, 100 calories were less likely to mistreat their cohabitants than those who averaged fewer steps or burned fewer calories.The findings also revealed that when employees felt they had a bad night's sleep because of work issues, they were more likely to be grouchy at home. "When you're tired, you are either less able or less motivated to regulate yourself." says co-author Larissa Barber, a professor of psychology at Northern Illinois University.Physical activity seems to counterbalance poor sleep, Barber says, because it promotes healthy brain functions needed to properly regulate emotions and behaviors. "This study suggests that high amounts of exercise can be at least one way to improve the situations brought by sleep troubles that lead to negative behaviors at home, "she says.Barber acknowledges that finding time to work out and get a full night’s sleep can be difficult when work pressure is mounting, and that often, job stress can be directly related to sleep quality. But, she says, making the effort to burn some extra calories and blow off some steam can be worth it. It's not only good for you, says Taylor, but it can benefit the people live with.28. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Loved people at home B Negative emotions.C. Different work pressures. D More exercise and sleep29. Who will most probably behave angrily to family members?A. A person who is easy to get tired.B. A person who often goes to the gym to work outC. A person who is always treated badly by coworkers.D A person who often argues with colleagues30. The underlined word "counterbalance" in Paragraph 5 is doesn’t in meaning toA. make use ofB. take control ofC. keep up with D make up for31. What can we learn from the text?A. Work pressure makes no difference in sleep quality.B. How to burn more calories has become a major issue for workers.C Enough exercise can replace good sleep in dealing with negative behaviors.D. The amount of calories employees burn affects the frequency of losing temper.DGoogle, one of the world's outstanding tech companies, was attacked. It wasn’t its search engine that was attacked or its advertising platform or even its social network, Google+. Instead, it was a building.Two web security experts hacked (侵入) into its Wharf 7 office in Sydney, Australia through Googles building management system (BMS). One of them, Billy Rios, says, My colleague and I have a lot of experience in web security, but it is not something that people couldn't learn. Once you understand how the system works,it is very simple.”They found the system on Shodan, a search engine that lists devices connected to the Internet, and then ran it through their own software to identify who owned the building. In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had no immoral purpose and just informed Google about what they found.According to Mr. Rios, who runs security company Whitescope, there are 50,000 buildings currently connected to the Internet, including research institutes, churches and hospitals, and 2, 000 of those are online with no password protection. Martyn Thomas, a professor of IT at Gresham College in the UK, says, "It is beyond doubt that attempts to attack building management systems are happening all thetime.”Making a building smart generally means connecting the systems that control heating, lighting and security to the Internet and the wider corporate network. There was a strong reason for doing this, said Andrew Kelly, principal security consultant at defence company Qinetiq.Energy savings are the biggest factor in connecting building management systems to the corporate network, he says. "It gives those who run the building better control and offers between 20% to 50% in energy savings, "he adds.But it also makes them less secure. And if any of these feels like a Hollywood film, think again.32. How did Billy Rios and his colleague hack Googles building?A. They invented a search engine and connected it to Googles building.B. They worked for Google and mastered how the building worked.C. They used Google's BMS to find out the owner of the building.D. They connected their own software to the building to run Google.33. In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had the intention ofA analyzing some immoral problemsB. explaining the reasons for energy savingsC. entering Google's building to save more energyD. telling Google about the Wharf 7 office's hidden danger34. What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. There are many researchers contributing a lot to web securityB. The building management systems of some buildings are in danger.C. The attack on building management systems happens all over the world.D. There are too many buildings connected to the Internet to be managed well35. What is the author’s at titude towards the way of the energy savings of some buildings?A. Negative. B Ambiguous C. Indifferent D Favorable.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。

第I卷第一部分阅读理解(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。
AThere seems to be some truth in the old saying: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away. "A new study in the Chinese population said Wednesday that people who eat fresh fruit on most days are at lower risk of heart attack and stroke than people who rarely eat fresh fruit.The findings, published by the New England Journal of Medicine, came from a seven-year study of half a million adults in China, where fresh fruit consumption is much lower than in countries like the U.K. or the United States.Researchers from the University of Oxford and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences conducted a large, nationwide study of 500,000 adults across China, tracking health for seven years through death records and electronic hospital records of illness. The participants did not have a history of cardiovascular (心血管)diseases or anti-hypertensive (抗高血压)treatments when they first joined the study. The study found that eating a 100-gram portion of fruit per day was associated with about one-third less cardiovascular mortality(心血管死亡率)."The association between fruit consumption and cardiovascular risk seems to be stronger in China, where many still eat little fruit, than in high-income countries where daily consumption of fruit is more common," study author Huaidong Du of the University of Oxford said.Also, fruit in China is almost exclusively consumed raw, whereas much of the fruit in high-income countries is processed, and many previous studies combined fresh andprocessed fruit, said Du.Senior author Zhengming Chen, professor at the University of Oxford, noted that it's difficult to know whether the lower risk in people who eat more fresh fruit is because of a real protective effect. "If it is, then widespread consumption of fresh fruit in China could prevent about half a million cardiovascular deaths a year, including 200,000 before age 70, and even larger numbers of non-fatal strokes and heart attacks," Chen added.21. According to the passage, we can learn that __________.A. The study was conducted internationally among 500,000 adults.B. Daily consumption of fruit is less common in low-income countries .C. Chinese will not die of cardiovascular diseases if they eat enough fresh fruit.D. It knows for sure that the lower risk in people eating more fresh fruit isbecause of a real protective effect.22. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. It is suggested to eat processed fruit rather than raw fruit.B. Male are more likely to suffer from heart attack and stroke than female.C. Research findings link lower heart diseases to more fresh fruit eating.D. The government needs to prevent people from heart attack and stroke .23. Where does this passage probably come from?A. A book review. B .A health report.C. A class presentation.D. A medical advertisement.BA man walked into a small Irish pub and ordered three beers. Bartender was surprised, but he served that man three beers. One hour later the man ordered three beers again. The very next day that man ordered three beers again and drank quietly at a table. This repeated several times and shortly after the people of the town were whispering about the man, who was ordering three beers at once.A couple of weeks later, the bartender decided to clear this out and inquired:“I do not want to pry, but could you explain, why do you order three beers all the time?” The man replied: “It seems strange, isn’t it? You see, my two brothers live abroad at the moment, one –in France and another –in Italy. We have made an agreement, that every time we go to pub each of us will order extra two beers and it will help keeping up the family bond ”.Soon all the town have heard about the man’s answer and liked it a lot. The man became a local celebrity. Residents of the town were telling this story to newcomers or tourists and even invited them to that pub to look at Three Beer Man. However, one day the man came to pub and ordered only two beers, not three as usual. The bartender served him with bad feeling. All that evening the man ordered and drank only two beers. The very next day all the town was talking about this news, some people pray for the soul of one of the brothers, others quietly grieve.When the man came to pub the next time and ordered two beers again, the bartender asked him: “I would like to offer condolences to you, due to the death of your dear brother”. The man considered this for a moment and then replied: “Oh, you are probably surprised that I order only two beers now? Well, my two brothers are alive and well. It‘s just because of my decision. I promised myself to give up drinking.”24. The man ordered three beers all the time because _______.A. people were fond of drinking beers in this pub.B. he missed his two brothers living abroad very much.C. it was an agreement with his brothers to keep up the family bond.D. this would help him become a local celebrity.25. We can infer from the passage that______.A. news traveled fast in the town.B. the man became famous in the town because he was a heavy drinkerC. the man’s brothers liked drinking beer very muchD. the man was strong-minded to give up drinking26. The bartender served the man with bad feeling because ________.A. he would earn less moneyB. he thought the man should order three beersC. he thought one of the man’s brothers had passed awayD. the man decided to drink two beers27. The underlined word “condolences” in the last paragraph can be replaced by______.A. gratitudeB. appreciationC. surpriseD. sympathyCMany fruits and vegetables would disappear from grocery store shelves if it weren’t for honeybees. Almonds, for example, are a $2.5 billion industry in California, and almond growers depend on honeybees to pollinate(授粉) the crop. No honeybees would mean no almonds. Many berries (like blackberries and strawberries) need bees, as do vegetables like cucumbers and squash. And don’t forget tree crops like apples, oranges and peaches. Watermelon and cantaloupes depend on bees, too. In fact, approximately 15 percent of the food Americans eat comes directly from honeybee pollination. Another 15 percent comes from animals that eat foods that bees pollinate. In other words, close to a third of the food that Americans eat currently requires honeybee pollination. Honeybee pollination is so important that bee farmers actually truck their bees from orchard to orchard and farm to farm to help pollinate crops.A honeybee starts the honey making process by visiting a flower. With luck, the flower contains nectar, and the bee sucks some of the nectar up with a little straw built into its mouth. Most flower nectars are like sugar water; there is a little sugar mixed with water. Nectars can contain other beneficial substances as well. To make honey, two things happen.The first thing uses enzymes. One enzyme that bees produce turns the sucrose in the nectar into glucose and fructose. Another enzyme turns some of the glucose into an acid and hydrogen peroxide. By making honey acidic, it kills any bacteria that get into the honey.The second thing uses evaporation to get rid of the extra water. Most of the moisture has to be evaporated, so that honey is only about 18 percent water. Beesevaporate the extra water by putting little drops of nectar in the hive and fanning it with their wings.Honey is a very stable food. It naturally resists molds, fungi and other bacteria, allowing it to last for years without refrigeration.28. Bees are always trucked between different places in order to _____________.A. lay eggs in all the orchards to farmsB. mate with bees living in different zonesC. help bee farmers deal with harmful insectsD. to pollinate flowers or plants grown in different places.29. How does a honeybee suck the nectar from flowers?A. through a little straw built into its mouth.B. with the help of the bee farmer.C. by drinking the water that contains nectar.D. by fanning it with the wings.30. Which one is the way mentioned in the passage to make honey?A. to evaporate most of the moisture in the nectar.B. to kill all the bacteria in the nectar.C. to expose it to sunlight for some time.D. to mix the nectar with some sugar.31. Why honey can be kept for a long time without being cooled?A. Because there is no bacteria in it.B. Because it can stand bad weather conditions.C. Because it protects itself against bacteria naturally.D. Because it is well-preserved in containers.DWhen Andrew was born in Jiangsu, China, his father opened Panda Inn, a sit-down restaurant in Pasadena, California, serving family foods fast and hot.Andrew’s father had taught him to take on a new challenge only after mastering the previous one. It took ten years before Andrew felt he was ready to deal with the all-American challenge: the fast-food industry.The first Panda Express opened in a Southern California mall in 1983. As Pandas began to increase, Peggy, who has a PhD in electrical engineering, gave up her career to join the company full-time, first as president, then as CEO. Today, Peggy and Andrew share the title of chairman.They are big fans of Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, a book they require all job applicants to read before their interview. “Success is a byproduct of our habits,”says Andrew. “We’re very focused on learning how to do the right things well and completely so that what all of us do actually makes an Impact.” Doing the right thing includes paying more than the minimum wage and part of health care for all 17,300 employees, including part-timers. Some warned that this would cause financial problems. But not for the Panda Express. “If you’re too focused on the results and try to develop shortcuts, you’re going to have to pay it back later somehow,” Andrew says.They take seriously the concept that to lead is to serve. It means helping employees improve their livelihood and, in the process, learn to live a fuller life. In the end, Andrew says, “They are better off financially, but they’re also smarter because they’re curious and learning. They take care of themselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. When all of us do these things well, there’sa better chance that we will treat the c ustomers better.”32. The writer mentions Peggy, who has a PhD, in order to show that Panda Express______.A. needed support from AmericansB. was increasing very rapidlyC. needed wise leadersD. attracted a lot of talented people33. We may infer from the passage that______ .A. Focus on doing the right thing and the results will take care of themselves.B. Chinese food is becoming more and more popular in AmericaC. Panda Express has never met with financial problemsD. Andrew and Peggy are good examples of companies in the US34. Andrew and Peggy share the same idea that ______.A. the habit of reading Stephen Covey’s book leads to successB. they focus on the results and developing shortcutsC. a good leader must be a good servant as wellD. the employees should help their customers improve their livelihood35. The passage is mainly about ______.A. Panda Express’s success in fast-food industryB. the effect that Stephen’s book has on Panda ExpressC. the challenge of the fast-food industry in the USD. Panda Express’s philosophy of management第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)Recent research shows that listening to music improves our mental well-being and boosts our physical health in surprising and astonishing ways. ___36___Here are some amazing scientifically-proven benefits of being hooked on music.Music reduces depressionMore than 350 million people suffer from depression around the world. A study by Hans Joachim Trappe in Germany demonstrated that music can benefit patients with depressive symptoms, depending on the type of music. ___37___ But techno and heavy metal brought people down even more. The next time you feel low, put on some classical or meditative music to lift your spirits.___38___Research shows that taking music lessons predicts higher academic performance and IQ in young children. In one study, 6-year-olds who took keyboard or singing lessons in small groups for 36 weeks had significantly larger increases in IQ and standardized educational test results than children who took either drama lessons or no lessons. ___39___Music keeps your brain healthy in old ageA study with healthy older adults found that those with ten or more years of musical experience scored higher on cognitive tests than musicians with one to nine years of musical study. The non-musicians scored the lowest. Business magnate Warren Buffet stays sharp at age 84 by playing ukulele. ___40___A. To help them achieve academic excellence, encourage them to sing or play aninstrument.B. Music raises IQ and academic performance.C. It’s never too late to play an instrument to keep you on top of your game.D. Meditative sounds and classical music lifted people up.E. Music strengthens learning and memory.F. Musical training can help raise our IQs and even keep us sharp in old age.G.

AThere are lots of ways to eperience Portland—through its history, shopping, or cultural and culinary pursuits—and they’re all spectacular. But you mustn’t forget one of the most important parts of Portland pacage deals your hotel. Consider these popular options when it’s time to rest.impton HotelThis accommodation offers Italian sheets, designer bath products, and a relaing spa, and you’ll never go hungry with fine dining at its on-site restaurant.

Those who see out cultural endeavors will enjoy proimity to Schniter Concert Hall and Portland Center for the Performing Arts, and any type of traveler can enjoy the free Wi-Fi and views of Director Par.21. Which of the following is an ideal hotel for art enthusiasts?A. Benson HotelB. Portland Institute for Contemporary ArtC. Museum of Contemporary CraftD. Egyptian Hotel22. If a visitor has a tight budget, he’d better choose____________.A. impton HotelB. Benson HotelC. Modera HotelD. Paramount Hotel23. Where can you find this passage?A. fashion magaineB. holiday brochureC. science reportD. business contractBBeneath the tranquil settings of Yellowstone National Par in the US lies an enormous magma chamber (熔岩腔膛) . It’s responsible for the geysers (间歇泉) and hot springs that define the area, but for scientists at Nasa, it’s also one of the greatest natural threats to human civiliation as we now a potential supervolcano.When Nasa scientists came to consider the problem, they conceived a plan to drill up to 10m down into the supervolcano, and pump down water at high pressure. The circulating water would return at a temperature of around 350C (662F), thus slowly day by day etracting (提取) heat from the volcano. But drilling into a supervolcano does not come without certain riss, namely triggering the eruption you’re intending to prevent.Therefore, the idea is to drill in from the supervolcano from the lower sides, starting outside the boundaries of Yellowstone National Par, and etracting the heat from the underside of the magma chamber. “This way you’re preventing the heat coming up from below from ever reaching the top of the chamber which is where the real threat arises,” Wilco says.Such a plan could be potentially applied to every active supervolcano on the planet, and Nasa’s scientists are hoping that their blueprints will encourage more practical scientific discussion and debate for tacling the threat.“When people first considered the idea of defending the Earth from an asteroid (小行星)impact, they reacted in a similar way to the supervolcano threat,” Wilco says. “People thought, ‘As puny (微不足道的) as we are, how can humans possibly prevent an asteroid from hitting the Earth.’ Well, it turns out if you engineer something which pushes very slightly for a very long time, you can mae the asteroid miss the Earth. So the problem turns out to be easier than people thin. In both cases it requires the scientific community to invest brain power and you have to start early. But Yellowstone eplodes roughly every 600,000 years, and it is about 600,000 years since it last eploded, which should cause us to sit up and tae notice.”24. Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word “conceived”?A. approveB. opposeC. formD. stop25. According to Nasa’s plan, _______________.A. Water pumped down at high pressure would return hot.B. Heat can be completely etracted from the volcano soon.C. Drilling into a supervolcano is by no means risy.D. Heat from below is epected to reach the top of the chamber.26. Asteroid is mentioned in the last paragraph to ____________.A. warn people of its threat to the earthB. encourage people to hope for possibilitiesC. tell people human’s coming tragic endingD. eplain to people its cause and effect27. What’s the passage mainly about?A. A famous tourist resortB. A potential supervolcanoC. A plan to deal with supervolcanosD. A threat having been tacledCNot all people in Italy can tolerate football. There are Canadians who won’t love hocey. A similar situation eists in America, where there are those individuals you may be one of them who yawn or even frown when somebody mentions baseball. Baseball to them means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens. They tell you it’s a game better suited to the 19th century, slow, quiet and gentlemanly. These are the same people you may be one of them who love football because there’s the sport that glorifies “the hit”.By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent and still.On TV, the game is fractured into a doen perspectives, replays, close ups. The geometry of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You will thin much about the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for involvement. The TV won’t do it for you.Tae, for eample, the third baseman. You sit behind the third base dugout and you watch him watching home plate. His legs are apart, nees fleed. His arms hang loose. He does a lot of this. The septic(怀疑者)still cannot thin of any other sports so still, so passive. But watch what happens every time the pitcher throws the third baseman goes up on his toes, flees his arms or bring the glove to a point in front of him, taes a step right or left, bacward or forward, perhaps he glances across the field to chec his first baseman’s position.Suppose the pitch is a ball. “Nothing happened,” you say. “I could have had my eyes closed.”The septic and the innocent must play the game. And this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music is. Watch the third baseman. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocet in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of the bat, the sound of horsehide on wood. If football is a symphony of movement and theater, baseball is chamber music, a spacious interlocing of notes, chores and responses.28.The passage is mainly concerned with ______________.A. the attraction of footballB. the attraction of baseballC. the different tastes of people for sportsD. the different characteristics of sports29. Those who don’t lie baseball may complain that___________.A. it is not eciting enoughB. it involves fewer players than footballC. it is only to the taste of the oldD. it is overconfident and loos funny30. The author admits that _____________.A. baseball is too peaceful for the youngB. baseball is more interesting than footballC. baseball may seem boring when watched on TVD. baseball is less attractive than football31. We can safely conclude that the author .A. lies footballB. hates footballC. lies baseballD. hates baseballDLi Ming , a 13-year-old student has spent most of his spare time on a mobile game, ing of Glory since May. “Every boy in our class is playing it, and we hold competitions within and among classes. Good players are respected and it is easier for them to mae more friends,” said Li. He added one of the most important reasons they love the game is that the historical characters are all in cartoon style and loo “very cool.”Li is one of many thousands of young players who are cray about this game. Although this Chinese mobile game enjoy great popularity, recently, it has come under fire for promoting an inaccurate representation of ancient Chinese history.The characters in the game not only travel through time and space to fight together, but also tae on historical figure s’ names with no connection at all to their eperiences in history. This characteristic could easily confuse young players. Some parents are worried that it may mislead their children and have a bad influence on their study, especially on history and Chinese.hang Liang, a 27-year-old IT worer, thins such worries are reasonable, but the problem is not alarming. hang pointed out that a proper use of history or legendary materials in games should combine education with entertainment.However, some hit bac at the accusation, arguing that games are supposed to be creative, and that “ing of Glory” doesn’t intend to be set in any specific historical period.“I am aware that there are many young players, some even in primary school. Some might be affected by the game in certain ways, but it can do a lot of good if students become interested in the characters and do more research to that end,” one “ing of Glory” player said.After all, the root cause of the problem is that there is no game rating system in China to protect children who are too young to distinguish virtual world from real history.32. Why did the author mention Li Ming’s story in Paragraph 1?A. To show ing of Glory is very popular.B. To lead in the topic of the passage.C. To eplain why young people play the game.D. To persuade us to play the game .33. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “come under fire” in paragraph 2?A. Be popular.B. Be accused.C. Be played.D. Be banned.34. Some parents worry that young players of“ing of Glory”may ______A. get addicted to it.B. lose interest in study.C. have trouble in understanding real history.D. feel confused about the characters in the game.35. Wh at’s hang’s attitude towards the game“ing of Glory”?A. Supportive.B. Opposed.C. Indifferent.D. Objective.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。

used to live across the road from a big hill with huge oak trees growing out of it.When winter arrived,thick,heavy snow would fall,and my two brothers would grab their sleds heading over to the hill for a day of fun.I remember watching them with envy because 1 was still too small to go sledding.Finally,one winter 1 was considered big enough and joined my brothers as they carried their sleds up the long hill and prepared to ride down it.The first few trips I rode with one of my brothers and had the time of my life.It was so exhilarating when the wind whipped across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled.Near the end of the day 1 was overjoyed too when my oldest brother decided to let me try riding the sled all by myself.I climbed on it full of excitement and lay on my stomach.Then with one big push my brother sent me down the snowy hillside.1 was doing pretty well too until I hit an old stump hidden by the snow and went off course,straight towards one of those big oak trees.My heart pounded in my chest and I could hear myself screaming.At the last possible second I rolled off and the sled crashed into the tree.I could hear my brothers running down the hill yelling,“You have to steer(操控)!You have to steer!”Sadly,t hat wasn’t the last time I failed to steer when some obstacle knocked me off course in my life.Many times problems,troubles,and my own failures have sent me crashing into the trees of anger, frustration, and despair.I am still learning that life isn’t alwa ys safe sledding.I am still learning that it is up to me to steer myself back to love, back to kindness, back to goodness, and back to God.Life is a trip,but no one ever said it was a smooth ride.Steer well then.Steer straight.Steer your soul towards the light and the love we are all meant for.25.What do we know about the author when he was very young?A.He lived on a big hill with huge oak trees on it.B.He was frightened to go sledding with his brothers.C.He longed to go sledding with his brothers.D.He carried his brothers’sleds as they went sledding.26.Which of the following can replace the underlined word“exhilarating”in Paragraph 2?A.delightful B.Terrifying

hillside was snowy.28.What does the author mean to tell us?A.Losing control of a sled can be dangerous.B.Courage and determination can change one’s life.C.Life can be controlled by one himselfD.Life is a mystery full of coincidences.CThe popular TV program Readers has prompted more people in China to practice reading aloud in booths(亭)set up in big cities across the country.As the latest TV show to help people’s love for literature recover,CCTV program Readers invites people from all walks of life to read aloud their favorite poems,essays and books,or even personal letters they wrote to their loved ones.Just as the weekly show has been well-received,its reading booths,equipped with professional recording devices and cameras,have become instant hits.A crowd of more than 200 people were pictured lining up outside the Shanghai Library at 11 am on March 4 -- the first day of the booth’s opening to the public in Shanghai.The deadline for registrations was brought forward to 2 pm instead of the scheduled 5:30 pm,as the number of waiting readers continued to grow.Some waited more than nine hours for a try-out in the booth, according to library management.“There is an old photo in the late 1970s capturing people lining up outside the Shanghai Library before it opens.If that was a spring of reading in Shanghai,now I think another spring has arrived again,”library manager Zhou Deming,told the Shanghai-based The Paper.The reading booth is the only one of its kind in the city of economic center at the moment,but more are expected to be put into use in the coming months,according to the library’s website.The Readers program has also led to booths in other cities including Beijing,Hangzhou,Guangzhou and Xi’an to appeal to more people to read and share their life stories.With the recent boom of culture-themed TV shows such as Readers and Chinese Poetry Competition,some are optimistic that this will help the country love literature and reading again in general.29.CCTV program Readers aims to_______________.A.teach people what to readB.attract people’s attention to CCTVC.invite people to read aloud in the boothD.arouse people’s flesh enthusiasm for reading30.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that_______________.A.Some people waited for a long time to read in the boothB.March 4 was the first day of the opening of Shanghai LibraryC.On March 4,200 people read in the boothD.The time for registrations was lengthened for three and a half hours31.The passage mainly tells US that_______________.A.Many people line up to read aloud in reading boothsB.More reading booths will be set up in the futureC.Readers has become popular all over ChinaD.Readers has inspired more people to read aloud in reading boothsDFollowing the crowd may not always be in a person’s best interest.But new research suggests that teens who go along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.Scientists have known that close friendships help boost health.That’s true for both teens and adults.The finding inspired Joseph Allen,a psychologist at the University of Virginia,and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health.So they followed 171 teens,starting when the kids were just 13.They interviewed each one every year for five years,and also spoke to these teens’closest friends,who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships.The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25,26 and 27.This time,the questions surveyed each person’s overall health.When the researchers analyzed the data they found a strong connectionbetween a teen’s behavior and adult health.Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults.Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to a close friends also influenced later health.Those who held back were more likely to be sick as adults.The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health.Weight,family income and drug use were all examined.So were mental health issues,such as anxiety and depression.And in these people,such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did.Going along with the crowd may have benefits,says Allen,but there are also drawbacks.Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work.And peer pressure may lead some kids to engage in risky behavior,such as smoking,drinking or using drugs.Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge,Allen acknowledges.“Finding the right balance is the key.Teens shouldn’t lose heart for not finding this easy.”And,he adds,“Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face.”32.Where can you probably read this passage?A.Science fictionB.Health columnC.Fashion magazineD.Entertainment newspaper33.We can learn from Allen’s study that _______________.A.many other factors have a greater influence on adult health than teen friendshipsB.mental health issues have nothing to do with adult healthC.the same 171 teens were interviewed each year from 13 to 27D.the teens who couldn’t express themselves grew up to be unhealthier34.According to what Allen said,we can know that _______________.A.in order to do better at school,teens should not follow the crowdB.though it’s challenging for teens to deal with peer pressure,they should not give upC.teens will engage in smoking,drinking or using drugs when facing peer pressureD.parents should understand their teens and stop them going with friends35.What can be inferred from the passage?A.There is nothing bad for teens to follow the crowd.B.Close friendships are the most important for people’s health.C.Teen friendships may turn out healthier adults.D.Adult health is only influenced by teen friendships.第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分1O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。
