2014年高考高三年级英语模拟试卷_适用于新课标全国卷范文

2014高考高三年级英语模拟试卷(第I卷)总分:150分考试时间:120分钟一.阅读理解(40分)AThe time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world’s languages. Today humans express themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings change. The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English. People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesn’t come in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing?The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever.The future of the world’s languages depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allowed them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.56. Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _____languages in the world.A. 4,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. no more than 2057. In “The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing thelanguages of the smaller cultures,” the verb “replace” means “_____”.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to use a second thing in place of the first thingC. to find good place for somethingD. to decide how important something is58. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a major worldlanguage, _____.A. radio and television would all use the languageB. it would be easier for them to share their ideasC. lessons at schools would be taught in the languageD. people would respect their own culture more59. Also, the passage says that if nobody spoke the languages of smallercultures, _____.A. Many of the words for things we do not know would be lost.B. knowledge would come from the mouths of the eldersC. people would have difficult in working togetherD. there would be no smaller cultures.60. By saying “Time will have the last word,” the writer means “ _____”.A. let us wait and seeB. we have time to do somethingC. it is too late to do anythingD. it is only a problem of timeBPeople who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.“We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,” says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study’s lead researcher.In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms.Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of2control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds.To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions). The CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings that they had experienced that day.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy (堵塞) noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are, For now, it can not hurt to look on the bright side more often than not.61. What is the text mainly about?A. How to get rid of colds.B. Attitude determines life.C. Smiles turn away colds.D. Different opinions about colds.62.The phrase”full of vim and vigor” underlined in Paragraph 1 probablymeans___________.A.ignorantB. Well-informedC. energeticD. in low spirits63.According to the research, persons who are likely to catch colds should bethose __________?A. Who have negative attitude towards their life.B. Who are very emotional and optimistic.C. Who are open-minded and outgoing.D. Who have trouble with their noses64.The last paragraph implies that __________.A.positive and negative emotions have good aspects.B.people who have been less positive tend to catch colds.C.Keeping an optimistic state of mind is good for health.D.positive emotions have a stronger effect on health.C高三英语第3页Comic Strips(连环漫画)For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19th century, people produced and read books of drawing. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics. They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl(猫头鹰)and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and the tiger were brave. The fox and the wolf were cunning(狡猾的)greedy(贪婪的)and dangerous.A century ago, an American newspaper published the first full-colour comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.In modern times, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages. People believe that its creator, Charles M. Schultz, earned US$60 million a year.Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become a millionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters in your story. One type of person might say, “Please be quiet and listen to what we have to say.” But another type of character might simply say, “Shut up and listen!”Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They should be obviously good or bad ---- and not a mixture of both. A leader must be stronger or cleverer than his or her followers. In many comic strips ---- especially those showing crime of adventure ---- there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story.65. The underlined word “plot” is similar in meaning to _____.A. placeB. stripC. storyD. character66. Which of the following is NOT the name of a cartoon Character?A. Snoopy.B. Peanuts.C. Woodstock.D. Garfield.67. In the 19th century, the wolf in the cartoons was NOT _____.A. cunningB. dangerousC. greedyD. brave4DMeetings don’t just eat up time in the workplace ; they actually make groups of people stupider, says new research.Working in a group makes people perform worse on intelligence tests, as some group members are so anxious about doing well that they “divert”their brain towards maintaining their social status in the group.You may joke about how committee meetings make you feel brain dead, but our findings suggest that they make you act brain dead as well, said Read Montague the study leader at Virginia Tech.Groups of volunteers showed measurable drops in IQ when asked to perform intelligence tests socially, with the results broadcast to the group.Some people performed well in the “social”tests, but others were affected badly--- and overall,performance dropped.Women appear to feel this pressure more than men---only three out of 13 female volunteers performed well in a social environment, with 10 out of 13 finding that their performance dropped.The researchers used a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to monitor how people’s brains responded--- and found that bad performers tended to show activity in parts of their brain that dealt with emotions and anxiety.“We started with individuals who were matched for their IQ,”said Montague. “Yet when we placed them in small groups, ranked their performance on tasks against their peers, and broadcast the rankings, we saw dramatic drops in the ability of some study subjects to solve problems.”“Our study highlights the unexpected and dramatic consequences even subtle social signals in group settings may have on the individual,” said lead author Keneth Kishida.“We don’t know how much these effects are present in real-world settings. By placing an emphasis on competition, for example, are we missinga large segment of the talent pool?”68. Which of the following statements is Not true according to thepassage?A. Meetings make groups of people stupider.B. Meetings make you act brain dead.C. Meetings make people perform worse on intelligence tests.高三英语第5页D. Meetings don’t affect men’s performance in intelligence tests.69. This passage can be classified as __________.A. An advertisementB.a book reviewC. A feature storyD.a science report70.What would be the best title of the text?A. Brainstorming? More Like Brain DrainB. Brainstorming Affects People”s IQ TestC. Brainstorming Makes People Act Brain DeadD.Brainstorming Affects Women’s PerformanceE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。

Meanwhile, more and more students are getting into the field to show their capabilities. But opinions on whether they should do it are divided into two aspects. Students who are in favor of it believe that it offers an opportunity to make them get in touch with society ahead of time. What’s more, it will toughen them better. On the contrary, it’s thought that opening online stores will distract students from their study. Moreover, so naive are students that they would be taken in easily.As for me, opening online stores is a good idea, partly because we should gain and accumulate some experience before getting into society; partly because we need to achieve our maturity earlier. Just find the balance.听力原文:1.W: Do you get along well with Jack at the office?M: He ordered everyone around as if he were the boss there.2.M: I think I’ll order the chocolate ice cream because I didn’t eat lunch earlier today.W: No dessert for me. I can hardly get into my jeans as it is.3.M: Shall I start to paint on the outside of your house now?W: Not yet. I’ve not made up my mind about the color. I’ll have to wait until tomorrow when my husband comes back.4.M: I’d love to go to the Super Bowl next week, but I don’t think there are any more tickets.W: Why don’t you talk to Laura? She is a big football fan. She might be able to give you some advice on how to get a ticket. And I know she is planning to go herself, so maybe you could go with her.5.W: Excuse me, can you tell me how to get to the zoo?M: You can take a No. 111 Bus.W: Where shall I get off the bus?M: At the railway station. The zoo is to the east of it. It’s not very far, you can’t miss it.W: Thank you.6.W: Can I help you, sir?M: Yes, I want to get some pillows. Where can I find them?W: Come this way, please. There are many beautiful ones here.M: How much are these pillows, please?W: $4.00 each or $7.00 for a pair.M: I’ll take a pair of this kind.7.M: I’m wondering if it’s going to be fine this afternoon.W: So what?M: The sports meet! It’s fixed at 2:00, but the fog! You can only see a short distance.W: But don’t you see the wind’s beginning to lift it up? I bet it will be fine this afternoon.M: Don’t be so sure.W: You’ve heard the forecast this morning, haven’t you?M: No. That’s why I’m worried.W: Why not try the 24-hour telephone weather forecast service?M: Gee! How come I didn’t think of that? I’ll do it right away.8.W: Tom, when can we expect you and your daughter for dinner? Next Saturday?M: Next Saturday? I’m sorry. I’ve promised to go to a Chinese opera with my daughter. She’s been longing for that day.W: How about Sunday then?M: Yes, Sunday sounds fine. What time?W: Does 6:30 suit you?M: It suits me fine, but we don’t know where you live.W: No problem. I’ll meet you at the school entrance. I just live two blocks away.M: All right. What do you want us to bring?W: Well, I don’t know. That’ll be for you to decide.M: Good. I’ve got a new dish that I want to try out.W: Fine. I’ll see you then.M: Thanks. Goodbye.9.M: Is it true that fast-food restaurants are very popular in the USA?W: Yes, especially in those big cities.M: Why?W: Because the food is good, the service is fast and the prices are low.M: Oh, that’s good. Then which restaurant is most well-known?W: McDonald’s. By 1982, there were 7063 McDonald’s in the world, and about 1283 of them were in other countries, such as Japan, West Germany, England and Australia.M: I see. How about the service and the food?W: Well, the employees there are helpful and polite, and the tables and floors are clean enough, most important, customers can get the same food, at any McDonald’s in any state or country. The food, of course, is quite good. French fries, the hamburgers, the sandwiches—all are specially prepared. Workers would buy their lunches there because they tasted better than their lunches from home.M: Who is the owner of McDonald’s?W: It was first owned by two brothers, Richard and Maurice McDonald. Then, in 1960, Ray Kroc, a 56 years old salesman, bought the name and most of their restaurants for $2.7 million, and now he is the owner.10.Yes, you’re right. I am from South Africa. I am not at all used to this cold weather, but I am glad to say that I have all the clothes for this freezing weather.When I first got to know that I would be attending this international conference here in Finland, I had no idea what kind of clothes I should take along. I didn’t know what to do when I thought of this two week stay here, with a rather formal dinner, a few parties, social gatherings and a dance during the conference.Fortunately, my friend Julia has been to Northern Europe. Yes, she was a great help. She helped to solve my biggest problem. She placed an order for some warm suits and dresses, business-type clothes, of course, of dark colours. She also bought me some skirts and blouses so that I could wear the same clothes in several different ways. A couple of lively coloured dresses will give me a nice change from time to time. She also helped to choose a very warm raincoat and a pair of boots.Oh, how lucky I am to have such a helpful friend. She saved me a lot of trouble.。

2014高考高三年级英语模拟试卷(第I卷)总分:150分考试时间:120分钟一.阅读理解(40分)AThe time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world’s languages. Today humans express themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings change. The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English. People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesn’t come in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing?The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever.The future of the world’s languages depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allowed them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.56. Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _____languages in the world.A. 4,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. no more than 2057. In “The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing thelanguages of the smaller cultures,” the verb “replace” means “_____”.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to use a second thing in place of the first thingC. to find good place for somethingD. to decide how important something is58. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a major worldlanguage, _____.A. radio and television would all use the languageB. it would be easier for them to share their ideasC. lessons at schools would be taught in the languageD. people would respect their own culture more59. Also, the passage says that if nobody spoke the languages of smallercultures, _____.A. Many of the words for things we do not know would be lost.B. knowledge would come from the mouths of the eldersC. people would have difficult in working togetherD. there would be no smaller cultures.60. By saying “Time will have the last word,” the writer means “ _____”.A. let us wait and seeB. we have time to do somethingC. it is too late to do anythingD. it is only a problem of timeBPeople who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.“We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,” says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study’s lead researcher.In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms.Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of2control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds.To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions). The CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings that they had experienced that day.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy (堵塞) noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are, For now, it can not hurt to look on the bright side more often than not.61. What is the text mainly about?A. How to get rid of colds.B. Attitude determines life.C. Smiles turn away colds.D. Different opinions about colds.62.The phrase”full of vim and vigor” underlined in Paragraph 1 probablymeans___________.A.ignorantB. Well-informedC. energeticD. in low spirits63.According to the research, persons who are likely to catch colds should bethose __________?A. Who have negative attitude towards their life.B. Who are very emotional and optimistic.C. Who are open-minded and outgoing.D. Who have trouble with their noses64.The last paragraph implies that __________.A.positive and negative emotions have good aspects.B.people who have been less positive tend to catch colds.C.Keeping an optimistic state of mind is good for health.D.positive emotions have a stronger effect on health.C高三英语第3页Comic Strips(连环漫画)For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19th century, people produced and read books of drawing. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics. They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl(猫头鹰)and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and the tiger were brave. The fox and the wolf were cunning(狡猾的)greedy(贪婪的)and dangerous.A century ago, an American newspaper published the first full-colour comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.In modern times, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages. People believe that its creator, Charles M. Schultz, earned US$60 million a year.Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become a millionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters in your story. One type of person might say, “Please be quiet and listen to what we have to say.” But another type of character might simply say, “Shut up and listen!”Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They should be obviously good or bad ---- and not a mixture of both. A leader must be stronger or cleverer than his or her followers. In many comic strips ---- especially those showing crime of adventure ---- there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story.65. The underlined word “plot” is similar in meaning to _____.A. placeB. stripC. storyD. character66. Which of the following is NOT the name of a cartoon Character?A. Snoopy.B. Peanuts.C. Woodstock.D. Garfield.67. In the 19th century, the wolf in the cartoons was NOT _____.A. cunningB. dangerousC. greedyD. brave4DMeetings don’t just eat up time in the workplace ; they actually make groups of people stupider, says new research.Working in a group makes people perform worse on intelligence tests, as some group members are so anxious about doing well that they “divert”their brain towards maintaining their social status in the group.You may joke about how committee meetings make you feel brain dead, but our findings suggest that they make you act brain dead as well, said Read Montague the study leader at Virginia Tech.Groups of volunteers showed measurable drops in IQ when asked to perform intelligence tests socially, with the results broadcast to the group.Some people performed well in the “social”tests, but others were affected badly--- and overall,performance dropped.Women appear to feel this pressure more than men---only three out of 13 female volunteers performed well in a social environment, with 10 out of 13 finding that their performance dropped.The researchers used a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to monitor how people’s brains responded--- and found that bad performers tended to show activity in parts of their brain that dealt with emotions and anxiety.“We started with individuals who were matched for their IQ,”said Montague. “Yet when we placed them in small groups, ranked their performance on tasks against their peers, and broadcast the rankings, we saw dramatic drops in the ability of some study subjects to solve problems.”“Our study highlights the unexpected and dramatic consequences even subtle social signals in group settings may have on the individual,” said lead author Keneth Kishida.“We don’t know how much these effects are present in real-world settings. By placing an emphasis on competition, for example, are we missinga large segment of the talent pool?”68. Which of the following statements is Not true according to thepassage?A. Meetings make groups of people stupider.B. Meetings make you act brain dead.C. Meetings make people perform worse on intelligence tests.高三英语第5页D. Meetings don’t affect men’s performance in intelligence tests.69. This passage can be classified as __________.A. An advertisementB.a book reviewC. A feature storyD.a science report70.What would be the best title of the text?A. Brainstorming? More Like Brain DrainB. Brainstorming Affects People”s IQ TestC. Brainstorming Makes People Act Brain DeadD.Brainstorming Affects Women’s PerformanceE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。

That goes far 51 the old records.The extent of how 52 the year has been in the US has 53 some meteorologists(气象学者) who have warned about global warming.“Everybody has this uneasy feeling. This is not good,” said Jerry Meehl, a climate scientist who54 in extreme weather at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo. “It’s a55 pleasure. You’re out enjoying this 56 March weather, but you know it’s not a good thing.”It’s not just March.“It’s been going on for several months,” said Jake Crouch, a climate scientist at NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Ashville, N.C.Meteorologists say an unusual combination of several weather 57 , including La Nina, was the direct cause of the warm start to 2012. While individual events can’t be 58 on global warming, Crouch said this is like the extremes that are supposed to get more frequent because of 59 climate change from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil.Normally, March 60 42.5 degrees across the country. This year, the average was 51.1, which is closer to the average for April. Only one other time —in January 2006 —was the country as a whole that much 61 than normal for an entire month.In March, 62 7,775 weather stations across the nation broke daily high temperature records and another 7,517 broke records for night-time 63 .

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

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

I rushed there and knew that they were in the 42 , arguing.I couldn't help 43 out loud: "Brother! Brother!" He 44 me and answered, "What?" "Come here!" I shouted. He came out to me.

But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings change. The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English.People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesn’t co me in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing?The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever.The future of the world’s languages depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allowed them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.56. Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _____ languagesin the world.A. 4,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. no more than 2057. In “The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages ofthe smaller cultures,” the verb “replace” means “_____”.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to use a second thing in place of the first thingC. to find good place for somethingD. to decide how important something is58. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a major worldlanguage, _____.A. radio and television would all use the languageB. it would be easier for them to share their ideasC. lessons at schools would be taught in the languageD. people would respect their own culture more59. Also, the passage says that if nobody spoke the languages of smaller cultures,_____.A. Many of the words for things we do not know would be lost.B. knowledge would come from the mouths of the eldersC. people would have difficult in working togetherD. there would be no smaller cultures.60. By saying “Time will have the last word,” the writer means “ _____”.A. let us wait and seeB. we have time to do somethingC. it is too late to do anythingD. it is only a problem of timeBPeople who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.“We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,”says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study’s lead researcher.In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms.Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds.To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions). The CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings that they had experienced that day.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy (堵塞) noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are, For now, it can not hurt to look on the bright side more often than not.61. What is the text mainly about?A. How to get rid of colds.B. Attitude determines life.C. Smiles turn away colds.D. Different opinions about colds.62.The phrase”full of vim and vigor” underlined in Paragraph 1 probablymeans___________.A.ignorantB. Well-informedC. energeticD. in low spirits63.According to the research, persons who are likely to catch colds should bethose __________?A. Who have negative attitude towards their life.B. Who are very emotional and optimistic.C. Who are open-minded and outgoing.D. Who have trouble with their noses64.The last paragraph implies that __________.A.positive and negative emotions have good aspects.B.people who have been less positive tend to catch colds.C.Keeping an optimistic state of mind is good for health.D.positive emotions have a stronger effect on health.CComic Strips(连环漫画)For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19th century, people produced and read books of drawing. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics. They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl(猫头鹰)and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and the tiger were brave. The fox and the wolf were cunning(狡猾的)greedy(贪婪的)and dangerous.A century ago, an American newspaper published the first full-colour comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.In modern times, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages. People believe that its creator, Charles M. Schultz, earned US$60 million a year.Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become amillionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters in your story. One type of person might say, “Please be quiet and listen to what we have to say.” But another type of character might simply say, “Shut up and listen!”Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They should be obviously good or bad ---- and not a mixture of both. A leader must be stronger or cleverer than his or her followers. In many comic strips ---- especially those showing crime of adventure ---- there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story.65. The underlined wo rd “plot” is similar in meaning to _____.A. placeB. stripC. storyD. character66. Which of the following is NOT the name of a cartoon Character?A. Snoopy.B. Peanuts.C. Woodstock.D. Garfield.67. In the 19th century, the wolf in the cartoons was NOT _____.A. cunningB. dangerousC. greedyD. braveDMeetings don’t just eat up time in the workplace ; they actually make groups of people stupider, says new research.Working in a group makes people perform worse on intelligence tests, as some group members are so anxious about doing well that they “divert” their brain towards maintaining their social status in the group.You may joke about how committee meetings make you feel brain dead, but our findings suggest that they make you act brain dead as well, said Read Montague the study leader at Virginia Tech.Groups of volunteers showed measurable drops in IQ when asked to perform intelligence tests socially, with the results broadcast to the group.Some people performed well in the “social” tests, but others were affected badly--- and overall,performance dropped.Women appear to feel this pressure more than men---only three out of 13 female volunteers performed well in a social environment, with 10 out of 13 finding that their performance dropped.The researchers used a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to monitor how people’s brains responded--- and found that bad performers tended toshow activity in parts of their brain that dealt with emotions and anxiety.“We started with individuals who were matched for their IQ,”said Montague. “Yet when we placed them in small groups, ranked their performance on tasks against their peers, and broadcast the rankings, we saw dramatic drops in the ability of some study subjects to solve problems.”“Our study highlights the unexpected and dramatic consequences even subtle social signals in group settings may have on the individual,”said lead author Keneth Kishida.“We don’t know how much these effects are present in real-world settings. By placing an emphasis on competition, for example, are we missing a large segment of the talent pool?”68. Which of the following statements is Not true according to the passage?A. Meetings make groups of people stupider.B. Meetings make you act brain dead.C. Meetings make people perform worse on intelligence tests.D. Meetings don’t affect men’s performance in intelligence tests.69. This passage can be classified as __________.A. An advertisementB.a book reviewC. A feature storyD.a science report70.What would be the best title of the text?A. Brainstorming? More Like Brain DrainB. Brainstorming Affects People”s IQ TestC. Brainstorming Makes People Act Brain DeadD.Brainstorming Affects Women’s PerformanceE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卷第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AEP Portable HeaterWe all know that the cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. Now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with the EP Portable Heater. With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EP heats better and faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silent.The EP has no exposed heating parts that can cause a fire. The outside of EP only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets.The EP will not reduce oxygen in the room. With other heaters, you’ll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.The advanced EP also heats the room evenly, wall to wall and floor to ceiling. it comfortably covers an area up to 350 square feet. Other heaters heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated to the center of the room. And they only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EP, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.The EP comes with a 3-year warranty(保修) and a 60-day. no questions asked. Satisfaction guarantee.

What is mainly discussed in paragraph 2?A. the heat of the EPB. the safety of the EPC. the appearance of the EPD. the material of the EP22. From the passage, we can learn that the EP____.A. doesn’t burn up oxygenB. runs without any noiseC. makes people get sleepyD. is unsuitable for children and pets23. The und erlined word “evenly” in paragraph 4 probably means____.A. continuouslyB. separatelyC. quicklyD. equally24. The main purpose of the passage is to____.A. persuade people to buy the productB. advise people to save on heating billsC. report the new development of portable heatersD. compare the difference of different heart brandsBThey baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert (警觉). Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze(凝视)starts to lose its focus —until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise (同样地)when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.25. The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby’s__.A. sense of hearingB. sense of sightC. sense of touchD. sense of smell26. Babies are sensitive to the change in______.A. the size of cardsB. the colour of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects27. Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies’ interest.28. Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Children’s literature.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.CDoes Fame Drive You Crazy?Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities — famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.29. It can be learned from the passage that stars today____.A. are often misunderstood by the publicB. can no longer have their privacy protectedC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have come into fame30. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.31. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A. Availability of modern media.B. Inadequate social recognition.C. Lack of favorable chances.D. Huge population of fans.32. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sincere.B. Sceptical.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.DThe National GalleryDescription:The National Gallery is the British national art museum built on the north side of Trafalgar Square in London. It houses a diverse collection of more than 2,300 examples of European art ranging from 13th-century religious paintings to more modern ones by Renoir and Van Gogh.

But this is true of Nicholas MacMahon, who is nowNicholas spoke well before he was one. At eighteen months he took telephone messages for his parents. At two he began to learn French. The strange thing about Nicholas is that he taught himself to read before he couldHis parents knew immediately that he could read. When he could speak, he corrected his spelling. He tried two different schools, but he was bored and unhappy and his parents decided that he couldn’t stay there. His parents did not have enough time to prepare special lessons for Nicholas. The MacMahons had no idea what to do with him. Then the West London Institute offered to help. Nicholas spends some of his time there, and also studies at home. He reads newspapers every day, and he can play the violin well. He doesn’t have any social life in the school.

Note that there is one word more than you need.Nursing, as a typically female profession, must deal constantly with the false impression that nurses are there to wait on the position. As nurses, we are licensed to provide nursing care only. We do not have any legal or moral obligation to any physician. We provide health teaching, __41__ physical as well as emotional problems, coordinate patient-related services and make all of our nursing decisions based upon what is best or suitable for the patient. If, in any circumstance, we feel that the physician‟s order is __42__ or unsafe, we have a legal responsibility to __43__that order or refuse to carry it out. Nursing is not a nine-to-five job with every weekend off. All nurses are aware of that before they enter the __44__. The emotional and physical stress, however, which __45__ due to hard working hours is a prime reason for a lot of the career __46__. It is sometimes required that we work overtime and that we change shifts four or five times a month. That disturbs our personal lives, disrupts our sleeping and eating habits, and isolates us from everything except __47__ friends and activities. The quality of nursing care is being affected dramatically by these situations. Most hospitals are now staffed by new graduates as experienced nurses finally give up trying to change the system. Consumers of medically-related services have evidently not been affected enough yet to demand __48__ in our medical system. But if __49__ continue as predicted, they will find that most critical hospital care will be provided by new, inexperienced and sometimes inadequately-trained nurses.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The famous American inventor Thomas Alva Edison once claimed that genius was one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration(汗水). Now, it seems, there is scientific evidence to __50__ his claim. The idea that geniuses such as Shakespeare, Mozart, and Picasso possessed certain inborn talents is a false belief, according to a study by a British psychologist and his colleagues.After examining outstanding performance in the arts and sports, these researchers concludedthat __51__ is determined by opportunity, encouragement, training, motivation, self-confidence, and — most important of all — __52__. Even people who were not thought to be 53__ with any special talent could, after having received training, reach levels __54__ considered attainable (可获得的) only by gifted individuals. …Talent is a false belief, and it is time that people got rid of it,” they said.This theory — a dramatic __55__ with traditional beliefs — has been __56__ by academics worldwide. In fact, studies of accomplished artists and mathematicians, and top tennis players and swimmers, have reported few early signs of __57__ in these people before any parental encouragement. No case has been found of anyone reaching the highest levels of achievement without __58__ himself or herself to thousands of hours of serious training. Even those who are believed to be exceptionally talented — whether in music, mathematics, chess, or sports — have needed lengthy periods of instruction and practice to achieve their highest level of success. …The persistent false belief that some people reach high levels of performance without spending numerous hours practising __59__ much to the fact that their practice is usually outside the casual observer‟s view,‟ stated one scientist.The importance of practice has been noticed in athletics. For instance, differences in the composition of certain muscles were once thought to be __60__ predictors of athletic performance. However, the differences in the proportion of certain muscle fibers(组织) that are __61__ for success in long-distance running are largely the result of extended practice in running.…What makes a genius then?‟ one may ask. __62__, there is no clear answer. What is known, however, is that …nurture‟ is at least as important as …nature.‟ __63__, a supportive environment will do far more for a child‟s prospects of success than any inborn gifts. This is a message that most of us will find __64__ —even if we haven‟t won the gene lottery, our fate is still in our own hands.50. A. make B. challenge C. support D. dismiss51. A. excellence B. harmony C. negotiation D. response52. A. education B. practice C. fortune D. character53. A. satisfied B. concerned C. decorated D. gifted54.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, and C. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)You are walking along a lane and never know what you will find. It might be a shop selling oil paintings, or a place where you can buy Dutch cheese. One thing is for sure, you will end up by a canal.Welcome to Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands.The year 2013 will be a good time to explore Amsterdam as the city has a lot to celebrate: the famous canal ring will turn 400 years old. Amsterdam will also celebrate the 160th birthday of Dutch painter of the Van Gogh museum, home to the biggest co llection of the artist‟s colorful works.The famous canal ring is a trademark of the city. With more than 100 kilometers of canals, it is no wonder that Amsterdam is called the …Venice of the north‟. But unlike the Italian town, where boats were originally used for transport, the canals in Amsterdam were mainly used for defense in the 17th century. Today ferries on canals offer a different way to explore the city.But to truly experience Amsterdam, you can‟t miss the city‟s historic museums and monuments, among which Van Gogh museum is the most famous one. It holds 200 paintings, 700 letters and 500 drawings by the artist. Another famous museum is Anne Frank‟s house. Anne Frank became famous around the world because of a diary she left explaining her and her family‟s experience as a Jewish girl during World War II, hiding out in a house hoping that she would not be captured by German Nazis.Amsterdam is small enough to walk or cycle almost anywhere, but it is rarely dull. Best of all it combines its glittering past with a rebellious edginess.65. Which of the following is TRUE of the canals in Amsterdam?A. They had to be rebuilt after years of use.B. They protected the city in ancient times.C. They were built to provide transport for the city.D. They are the main theme of Van Gogh‟s paintings.66. In the passage, Amsterdam is described as a city _____.A. that can be explored by footB. that is completely built on waterC. that has two historic museums in allD. that is famous for its modernization67. What can we infer from the passage?A. People get lost easily in Amsterdam.B. Van Gogh spent his life time in Amsterdam.C. Many Jews in Amsterdam were caught by Nazis.D. Taking a ferry ride is the most popular activity in Amsterdam.68. Where would this passage most probably appear?A. In a museum leaflet.B. In a history textbook.C. In an academic magazine.D. In a travel brochure.(B)Which tablet computer should YOU be buying: They are this year's must have... and there's a style to suit everyone?does not allow impossible for anything inappropriate.Pros: The well-designed,Pros: No otherthe near one millioncreated for specially-designedprograms) available for the iPad.

Research has piled up steadily when it comes to looking at patients who are neurotic, while the happy or joyful people among us have received little scientific examination.When Seligman did a search to find academic articles about such …positive psychology‟ he found only 800 out of 70,000. …Psychologists tend to be concerned with taking a negative 8 person, and helping him get to negative 2,‟said Seligman, a psychology professor of the University of Pennsylvania. …My aim is to take a plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6.‟In the last 50 years, statistics have shown that we are less happy as a people. …While our quality of life has increased dramatically over that time, and we‟ve become richer, we‟re in an e pidemic of depression,‟ Seligman said. …Depression is 10 times more common now, and life satisfaction rates are down as well.‟Seligman argues that the new science he writes about is shifting psychology‟s model away from its narrow-minded focus on mental illness towards positive emotion, virtue and strength that increase people‟s happiness. If you want to be happy, forget about winning the lottery (抽奖), getting a nose job, or securing a raise. In his new book, Authentic Happiness, psychologist Martin Seligman argues that overall lifetime happiness is not the result of good genes, money, or even luck. Instead, he says we can increase our own happiness by making use of the strengths and virtues that we already have, including kindness, originality, humor, optimism, and generosity. He has named the field …Positive Psychology,‟ arguing that we would be better off building on our own strengths rather than mourning, and, hence, trying to repair, our weaknesses. By frequently calling upon their strengths, people can build up natural barriers against misfortune and negative emotions, he said.Science has shown that there are several distinct roads to being a happy person —though happiness might not mean what you think. Material goods — even simple ones like ice cream, and massages —are only stimulating things that rapidly give people a boost.To cultivate happiness, we must first find out our individual strengths and virtues. Next, apply the qualities in such a way as to enhance your happiness-generating system.72.The distinctive feature of Seligman‟s work lies in ______.A. evaluating the psychological state of peopleB. making a study of people who suffer from mental illnessC. focusing the scientific examination on the happy or joyful peopleD. figuring out the exact number of the academic articles about …positive psychology‟73.What does Seligman mean by saying …take a plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6‟?A.

There is one extra heading which you do not need.A journalist is interviewing Charles Chang, who is recently retired, about life as an Interpol agent. Interpol is the popular name of the International Criminal Police Organization (ICPO). 76.Sometimes people think that Interpol is some sort of international police force, but it isn‟t. Its agents arrest people, but they don‟t chase criminals from country to country. Instead, each ICPO member sets up a central bureau that acts as a window for joint operations and exchanging information on criminal activities. Let‟s say, for example, that police in Australia are looking for a criminal in Thailand. The Australian police might not know which police agencies they should deal with. They might also experience language barriers. Interpol acts as a local contact to help police from different countries overcome those problems.77.Originally, I worked as a police office of the foreign affairs police. Then in 1982, I passed the detective‟s test for the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) and was assigned to the Interpol Division. My first task was to attend an ICPO conference in Paris, France, with the director of Interpol Taipei, China. That was my first trip abroad.78.I was a police captain from 1982 to 1989. My job was basically to investigate criminal cases that involved a second country. Since criminal cases are usually urgent, I spent a lot of time communicating with agencies from other countries. When we received information on a crime, we took the necessary actions. We made a search or made an arrest.79.When I was involved, international policing was the responsibility of the CIB. There were two sections at Interpol Taipei, China. The first was a communications section that kept in contact with other communications sections all over the world. The second provided operational support services. Like other police at the CIB, its officers were all detectives selected from universities. They had to speak and write in a foreign language like English, Japanese, Spanish or French. 80.It was very challenging work, but it gave me lots of opportunities to travel and study abroad. Oh, and I was once responsible for sending two dangerous criminals back from Japan!Section DDirections:Read the passage carefully.

Tales from the past reveal o ur loved ones‟ truepersonalities that we didn‟t know before and can unite familymembers.

He was quite worried about it at first, but once it got going he established a very good relationship with Will, his interviewer, and I know they had lots of fun and laughs. He started looking forward to the meetings very much, someone showing interest in him outside the family.‟Now, LifeBook is becoming increasingly popular as a gift, requested by sons and daughters who wish to preserve the memories of their older loved ones for future generations. The process of creating a LifeBook brings family members closer together as they learn more about the family‟s past. And for the authors, LifeBook gives them a project to focus on.

It has made him happier and he‟s got a newfound interest in life. He‟s go t more things to talk about and, I think, a sense of great pride.‟…Also it‟s something he can hand down to future generations.We‟re all thrilled with the book, delighted —and I‟m sure he‟llwant to do volume two very soon.‟(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NOMORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)81.
