2014.11（110分钟；120分）一．阅读理解（40分）AOnce there was a poor farmer and his farm belonged to(属于) a rich man. One day he brought a basket of apples to the rich man’s house. On the doorsteps, he met two monkeys dressed like children. They jumped onto the basket to eat the apples and threw some on the ground. The farmer politely took off his hat and asked the monkeys to get off. They obeyed(服从) and the farmer went into the house. He asked to see the rich man. A servant took him to the room where the rich man was sitting."I have brought you the basket of apples you asked for," he said."But why have you brought a half-empty basket?" the rich man asked."I met your children outside, and they stole(偷) some of the apples."21. Why did the farmer bring apples to the rich man?A. he was poorB. he liked the rich manC. his farm belonged to the rich manD. the rich man’s children liked apples22.

I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving Ame rica. Knowing that, they played for time…and I left without getting a cent.24.

Wee k by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on.I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like ? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everythin g she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things shesaid.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That’s just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.28. What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said.B. He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.C. He told her to write down all that her “enemy” had said about her and pay attention onlyto the things that were true.D. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.29. What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?A. Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.B. She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.30. Why did her father listen to her quietly?A. Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.B. Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show thisby keeping silent for a while.C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.D. Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.31. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?A. Not an Enemy, but the Best FriendB. The Best Advice I’ve Ever HadC. My FatherD. My ChildhoodDEveryone would like to be a millionaire , a person with a lot of money, but can you imagine having over $30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old. She is a world famous film star with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially (经济上) all her life. This year is a big year for Britney. She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. It’s a tiring schedule but brings her a lot. When touring, she goes to bed around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy (人生观) is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to step into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in “Austin Power 3” this year and she is filming a teenage light play that will come out in March 2003. In this movie, she has a starring role.For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic (热心的) about it all. If her movies are successful, her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it for the love, not the money, as she herself tells the reporters .32. We can infer (推断) from the text that most millionaires are __________.A. older than 20B. around 20C. in their 30sD. in their 40s33. The underlined word “you” in the first paragraph refers to __________.A. a person in generalB. a special personC. Britney SpearsD. a person interested in money34. Which of the following is not true according to the text?A. Though young, Britney can support her family now.B. While touring, Britney sleeps about 12 hours a day.C. The teenage comedy movi e was based on Britney’s own story.D. Britney will be even richer with her movies successful.35. According to Britney Spears, she works __________.A. to be a great actressB. for the enjoymentC. for moneyD. to be more famousE根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2014-2015学年第一学期高三年级期中考试英语试卷试卷Ⅰ第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）略。
第二部分：阅读理解（共2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、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AWhen I was in my fourth year of teaching, I was also (and am still) a high school track and field coach (田径教练). One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior. John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in athletics, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, “John, I really appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didn’t you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since you’re so good at it.”John answered, “Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason.”From then on, I often remember my student’s reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不满的) students can be of themselves, I’ve found that a simple “I trust that you can do it!” can go a long way!21. According to Paragraph 1, the author seems to think more about John’s ______.A. PE marksB. self-confidenceC. interest in sportsD. state of health22. Why did John take part in the track team?A. He had been an excellent runner.B. He was encouraged by his teacher.C. He liked running more than tennis.D. He had no tennis coach to train him.23. The purpose of this passage is probably ______.A. to build a close teacher-student relationshipB. to introduce a new way of sports trainingC. to explain the value of sports and gamesD. to show the importance of encouragement24. The passage is mainly written for ______.A. teachersB. parentsC. studentsD. playersBWhat’s black and white and read all over? Not newspapers, at least not anymore. In fact, if you’re like most young people, you probably don’t read the newspaper at all.In one recent survey, just 19 percent of 18 to 34-year-old said they read a newspaper every day, while 37 percent watch local TV news and 44 percent visit Internet news sites daily. As people turn more and more to new technologies, they turn the pages of newspapers less and less.“There’s a revolution in the way young people get news,” says media consultant Merrill Brown.Just a generation or two ago, the newspaper was the main way that many people got their news. Now, nearly every home has at least one TV set. There’s high-speed, wireless Internet both at home and in many public places.You no longer have to wait for a bundle of newsprint to arrive on your doorstep every morning. Thanks to new technology, if you want to know what’s going on in the world, you can get breaking news immediately in more ways than one.So newspapers face a very big challenge. Raised on MTV and video games, today’s kids and young adults want flashy displays, special effects, quick information, and the chance to interact in real time, even when they’re reading about serious problems.If newspapers can’t find creative ways to be more than just ink on paper, some experts suggest, they might disappear completely.Traditional newspaper articles are supposed to be read from beginning to end, lack of interaction. With Web pages, on the other hand, there’s more freedom. You can look through the things you’re interested in, then follow links to other sources. You can join discussion groups, read other people’s opinions on a topic, or starta blog to express your own views.25. This passage is mainly about ______.A. the disappearing newspaperB. different news sourcesC. the future of the InternetD. the new technologies26. From the survey, we can see that ______.A. TV has become the major source of newsB. newspapers are no longer the major source of newsC. more than half of the 18-to-34-year-old visit news sites dailyD. new technologies have replaced the traditional one27. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned about the disadvantage of newspapers?A. High price.B. Lack of changes.C. Slow speed.D. Lack of interaction.28. The author of the passage would probably think the future of newspapers is ______.A. attractiveB. brightC. hopelessD. uncertainCIn fine department stores everywhere, you’ll see the light-blue boxes of Estee Lauder. These popular cosmetics (化妆品) are sold in more than 130 countries. Who’s the woman behind this worldwide cosmetics empire ? Estee Lauder herself, of course.This businesswoman became, for a time, the world’s richest self-made woman. Her secret? “I didn’t get there by dreaming about it,” she would say. “I got there by doing it.” Estee was born in the early 1900s in Queens, New York. Her father ran a hardware store, and from him Estee learned how to be a successful salesperson. Estee learned from her uncle John Schotz, too. He made creams in a small laboratory behind the family’s house. Estee watched him. Soon, she was experimenting with her own cosmetics. She put lipstick (唇膏) and creams on any female relative who’d let her, until her annoyed father told her to stop.She married Joseph H. Lauder in 1930, and continued her experiments. She would cook dinner for the family, and at the same time, make her face creams. Then she began to sell her products in a Manhattan beauty shop.In 1960, Estee began to sell her products in Europe. After many tries she succeeded and began selling her products in some stores in London. But France proved even more difficult. The store Galleries Lafayette refused to sell her products. So Estee “by accident” dropped a bottle of youth dew (香水) on the floor in the cosmetics department. As the scent spread around the store, customers came over and asked to buy it. The store soon began selling Estee’s products.Estee led her company until 1982, when her son Leonard took over the business. Until her health worsened in the mid-1990s, she continued to attend the opening of a new store wherever in the world. She died on April 24, 2004. Estee Lauder’s talent as a saleswoman was extraordinary. Her son Leonard said, “There was never anyone who could sell like she could.” All who worked for Estee appreciated her special talent.29. Which of the following can best describe Estee Lauder?A. A successful cosmetics saleswoman.B. A beautiful shop owner in London.C. A popular cosmetics producer in France.D. A founder of a cosmetics company in America.30. What was Estee Lauder’s father’s attitude towards her when she tried her products on her female relatives?A. He supported her and helped her.B. He didn’t care about what she did.C. He was very angry at her for what she did.D. He was proud of what she did.31. Estee managed to get her products known to the French customers by droppinga bottle of youth dew on the floor in the cosmetics department of a store ______.A. on purposeB. with the store’s permissionC. by accidentD. carelessly32. The underlined word “scent” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.A. Estee’s productB. a customer’s praiseC. a pleasant smellD. the broken pieces of glassDWhen the seventeenth-century settlers brought the English language to America, they immediately and necessarily began to adapt (使适应) it to their new environment. These changes were clear early and criticized by some people on both sides of the Atlantic. However, after the Revolution, Americans began to be proud of their own form of English. Noah Webster was the major early supporter of American meanings and spellings over British ones and published the earliest American dictionary, An American Dictionary of the English Language. During the years since Webster, language differences have continued to develop, proving the truth of George Bernard Shaw’s often-repeated words that the two nations are divided by a common language.Like the American language, the earliest American literature copied English models. However, after the Revolution and the War of 1812, writers began to create a clear American literature. However, in 1820, Sydney Smith asked the famous question “Who reads an American book?”Answering to this and similar taunts (讽刺) with creative anger, American writers soon produced works that plenty of British people read. Works by Washing-ton Irving, Walt Whitman, and Mark Twain had been acclaimed greatly in Britain by the end of the nineteenth century.Even as American writers got respect in Britain, British writers continued to have great influence in America. Charles Dickens went to America twice, in 1842 and 1867-68. Other major British writers who traveled and lived in the United States include D.H. Lawrence and Aldous Huxley. British best works continue to be widely read. The works of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen became popular films.At the turn of the twenty-first century, many books and writers continue to cross the Atlantic in both directions — made possible by the proud heritage (继承) of the shared language.33. The author of this passage seems to think ______.A. British English is better than American EnglishB. American English is better than British EnglishC. the same language has divided the two nationsD. the same language has connected the two nations34. From the question asked by Sydney Smith, we can infer ______.A. the British had to translate American books into English onesB. the British found American books difficult to understandC. the British thought highly of books written by AmericansD. the British looked down upon American books at first35.The underlined word “acclaimed” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.A. soldB. discussedC. welcomedD. refused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。

AMy mother has always been a follower of traditional methods when it comes to anything. She cooks traditional food，likes dressing up traditionally and likes the traditional way of shopping. She loves going to markets and going from one shop to another to find out what suits her best. She can walk miles when it comes to shopping along with her friends. She knows all the local markets and shops and knows very well where she can get best discounts（折扣）．However，now she always gets tired when she goes out in the market. So one day I decided to introduce a new shop，which is much larger than usual markets and where she can also get discounts．I am talking about online gift stores. She has a basic knowledge of computers and can operate computers. At the beginning，she was doubtful about shopping from these online gift shops because she wasn’t too sure about the quality of the products.One day I decided to get her some branded things so that she could build trust in these shops. I ordered a Timex watch and a Sisley handbag for her. She never bought things online，but when they were delivered as a gift，she jumped for joy. She could not believe that I had ordered these gifts for her despite her being not much positive about online shops. However，after she saw both the products，she was assured that these online gift shops sent the promised brands and products，she loved her new watch and handbag.After this experience she ordered a gift for her friend's wedding. She chose a gift basket that could be made according to her requirements. They sent a beautifully decorated basket with fine wines and chocolates. The basket was so artistically decorated that it became her friend's favorite gift. Since then she has been consistently shopping online.1. What can we learn about the author's mother?A.

It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board . Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or，job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects，meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example，students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course，looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example，there is a book called "What Color is Your Parachute（降落伞）？”by Richard Bolles. T his book has been helping people choose a career（职业）since it was first published in 1970．Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan ler owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles．She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.5. What is the passage mainly about？A. Finding a job.B. College students' part-time jobs.C. Craigslist Web site.D.

Why does this happen? Should the parents take any measures?On the one hand，people who spend a lot of time in front of the TV, especially teenagers，may snack more，and that may affect their long-term diet quality.On the other hand，TV ads for fast food，sweets and snacks tempt teenagers to eat more of those foods. And TV time might also replace exercise time for some kids.Lead researcher Dr. Daheia J. Barr-Anderson，of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis，told Reuters Health a clear correlation between TV time during high school and diet quality in young adulthood. While the heaviest TV viewers were eating the most junk food , those who'd watched less than two hours per day had the highest intake(吸收)of fruits，vegetables, whole grains and high-calcium food. In her opinion，parents should limit and monitor TV viewing.As far as I am concerned，children should watch no more than two hours of television per day. And parents should set a good example by eating right，being physically active and curbing their own TV time.9. What's the best title for this passage?A. People should keep away from TV to keep healthy.B. Teenagers' TV time may affect their diets later.C. Why do teenagers like TV"D. Parents' own habits may affect children later.10. According to the passage，heavy TV viewers tend to＿．A. eat more fruitsB. eat less junk foodC. take in fewer vegetablesD. take in high-calcium food11. What suggestion does the author give the parents？A. They must watch TV with their children.B. They should forbid the children to watch TV.C. They should pay attention to nutrition in diets.D. They can't do what they don't want their children to do.12. The underlined word“curbing" in the last paragraph can be replaced byA. addingB. checkingC. controllingD. stoppingDWhen visiting New York City with your kids，there are many things to do with kids that will entertain their spirits and feed their minds.The Whispering GalleryMake your way to the Whispering Gallery.

Once inside the gallery，place one person facing the corner at one end of the room and then place another person facing the corner at the opposite end.

There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. I f you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year‟s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put something in it.Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg,” and folks saved coins in pygg jars.The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born.Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money--- college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.5. What is the piggy bank strategy?A. Paying 1% income tax at a time.B. Setting a goal before making a travel plan.C. Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.D. Aiming high even when doing small things.6. Why did the writer‟s parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?A. To delight him with the latest fashion.B. To encourage him to climb mountains.C. To teach him English pronunciation.D. To help him form the habit of saving.7. The piggy bank originally was ________.A. a cheap clay containerB. a potter‟s instrumentC. an animal-shaped dishD. a pig-like toy for children8. The last paragraph talks about ________.A. the seriousness of educating childrenB. the enjoyment of taking a great tripC. the difficulty of starting a businessD. the importance of managing moneyCThe behaviour of a building‟s users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放）by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own — though extremely important- is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too.The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率)，which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.…Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,‟explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher，…consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design. ‟In other words，old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home.Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill-payers don‟t have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information，it‟s hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈）facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors，could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.Social science research has added a further dimension (方面），suggesting that individuals‟ behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted — whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器) , for example.Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.9. As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of________.A. the behaviour of building usersB. zero-carbon homesC. sustainable building designD. the reduction of carbon emissions10. What are Katy Janda‟s words mainly about?A. The necessity of making a careful building design.B. The importance of changing building users‟ habits.C. The variety of consumption patterns of building users.D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.11. The information gap in energy use _______.A. affects the study on energy monitorsB. can be bridged by feedback facilitiesC. brings about problems for smart metersD. will be caused by building users‟ old habits12. What does the dimension added by social science research suggest?A. The social science research is to be furthered.B. The education programme is under discussion.C. The behaviour preference of building users is similar.D. The behaviour of building users is unpredictable.DThe kids in this village wear dirty, ragged clothes. They sleep beside cows and sheep in huts made of sticks and mud. They have no school. Yet they all can chant the English alphabet, and some can make words.The key to their success: 20 tablet computers(平板电脑) dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U.S. group called One Laptop Per Child.The goal is to find out whether kids using today‟s new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they‟re already amazed. “What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten,” said Matt Keller, who runs the Ethiopia program.The fastest learner—and the first to turn on one of the tablets—is 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse. The device‟scamera was disabled to save memory, yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work. He called himself a lion, a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia.With his tablet, Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows. Then he spelled words on his own. “Seven months ago he didn‟t know any English. That‟s unbelievable,” said Keller.The project aims to get kids to a stage called “deep reading,” where they can read to learn. It won‟t be in Amharic, Ethiopia‟s first language, but in English, which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs.13. How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village?A. It contributes to their self-study.B. It trains teachers for them.C. It helps raise their living standards.D. It provides funds for building schools.14. It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa could _______.A. draw pictures of animals.B. learn English words quickly.C. write letters to researchers.D. make phone calls to his friends.15. What is the aim of the project?A. To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs.B. To make Amharic widely used in the world.C. To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language.D. To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English.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。

AYou know what it’s like. You’ve just arrived in Toronto after a long flight, and all you really want to do is to lie down and relax in your hotel room.

And you need to make a few local telephone calls, and one call home to your family.And what do you usually get? Your desk is just about big enough for a cup of coffee; there’s no desk lamp; the stationery (办公用品) is a couple of sheets of headed notepaper; and a pen doesn’t work.

In recession(经济衰退)-hit Europe, however, French and Italian tourists limit their holiday budgets.“ The impressive growth of tourism spending from China and Russia reflects the entry into the tourism market of a growing middle class from these countries.” said UNWTO Secretary-General Taleb Rifai.The German Travel Association (DRV) said it was to be expected that the Chinese would eventually overtake Germans in terms of spending, given that the country had more inhabitants than North America, Russia and Europe put together.“But that they have overtaken us already is astonishing,” DRV president Juergen Buechy said.The Chinese make more long trips than Germans, who typically go to Mediterranean destinations, meaning that the average cost per holiday was greater, he added.25. Which of the following about Chinese travelers is TURE according to the text?A. They like traveling alone abroad.B. They like buying cheap things abroad.C. They spent more on foreign travel in 2012 than the year before.D. They spent $102 billion on trips in 2012.26. From this passage we learn that ________.A. Tourists from Germany like making long tripsB. Tourists from Russia and Brazil reduced spending in 2012C. Tourists from France and Italy didn’t limit their spending in recessionD. Chinese become the biggest spending tourists27. According to Taleb Rifai, we know that ________.A. only tourists from Russia and China increase their travelB. only people from Russia and China spend lots of money on travelingC. tourists from China and Russia waste too much moneyD. more people from middle class in China and Russia enter the tourism market28. What is the author’s attitude towards Chinese tourists?A. Proud.B. ObjectiveC. Doubtful.D. Optimistic.CSome people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true; that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the incident of tragedy involving murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by less incidents caused principally by minor national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said, “This isn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yield(让出) first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disorder. It was thought at first that the United States had won by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the US had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury(评审委员会)debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals or in non-national teams might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism(爱国主义).29. The author thinks that in recent years Olympic Games have ________.A. showed little international friendshipB. greatly encouraged international brotherhoodC. created goodwill between the nationsD. created only misunderstanding and hatred30. What did the manager mean by saying “This isn’t hockey. Hockey and theInternational Hockey Federation are finished.” in Paragraph 2?A. This is not a standard hockey match.B. The federation would not exist any longer after this match was over.C. His team would not enter the game in three years.D. The unfair decision ruined both hockey and the Federation.31. The basketball match showed that ________.A. aggressive patriotism was displayed in the incidentB. the Russian team should not have taken advantage of the last three secondsC. the appeal jury was too inefficient in making a decisionD. the American team should have taken the first place32. The author gives two examples in the 2nd and the 3rd paragraphs in order toshow that ________.A. contests often end in disorderB. no contests are fair in the Olympic GamesC. competition discourages international friendshipD. unfair decisions are common in sportsDStudies show that the way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that experts tell us to promote open-minded thinking. Take hurried wake up, for example; in a study, researchers reported that imaginative ideas are most likely to come to us when we’re powerless and not focused.The brain conditions are at their weakest in these moments, allowing unexpected connections to be made. Sleepy people’s “more outward movin g thinking” leads them to “widening their search” which leads to an increase in creative problem solving. By not giving yourself time to adjust your absent mind, you’re missing the surprising solutions it may offer.The stress hormone(荷尔蒙) can harm certain physical parts that coat our brain cells. Damage to these parts slows down the speed with which signals are transported, making lightningquick “Find it!” moments less likely. A recent study found that subjects who watched a sorrow-making video were less able to solve problems creatively than people who watched an upward video. A positive mood, wrote professor Ruby Nadler, increases “adaptability of recognition” while a negative one narrows our scope（范围，机会）.So what should we do in mornings? We’d set the alarm a few minutes earlier and lie awake in bed, following our thoughts where they lead and writing down any creative thought.And once in the office, one of the right things to do is to drink coffee. Caffeine not only makes us more alert but also increases the brain’s level of positive hormone, which influences feelings of motivation and rewards when we hit on a great idea.After we get that cup of coffee --- we’d direct our computer browser not to t he news of the day but to the funniest videos the web offers. Now there’s YouTube --- video of laughing resources. Laughing is a good way to start the day.33. We can infer from studies in Paragraph 1 that most people may ________ inmornings.A. rush to make themselves awakenB. promote open-minded thinkingC. do as experts tell them to doD. try to solve problems creatively34. The author tells us that ________.A. the stress hormone is a kind of skinB. the stress hormone coats our brain cellsC. people who make sorrow videos are less capable than those who makeupward videosD. the stress hormone may damage certain physical parts35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. We may find something wrong when taking transportation.B. Sorrow may limit our horizons.C. Signals are transported through hormone.D. We are less likely to solve problems when watching upward videos.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。

AWhen a tornado hit the small town of Otwell, Indiana years ago, Kathryn Martin, 32, who lived 60 miles away in Evansville, couldn‟t get the news out of her mind. “I kept thinking, …Those poor people. Somebody‟s got to help them,‟” she says. She knew firsthand what they were going through.Six months earlier, a tornado had struck her town, taking the lives of her 2-year-old son, C.J. and her mother-in-law. “It was the most terrible experience of my life,” she says. “That grief will never go away, and it broke my heart to think about what these families were going through in Otwell.”So Kathryn loaded her car with juice boxes, snacks and toys and drove to Otwell. She gave the items to the Red Cross, and as she was leaving, she saw a couple sorting through the ruins of their home while their children were watching. So Kathryn stopped and gave a few toys to the kids and played with them for a while. “The parents couldn‟t thank me enough for what I did for their children,” she says.On the drive back to Evansville, Kathryn came up with an idea to help more kids. She talked her family, friends and neighbors into joining her and spent the next few months organizing fundraisers. Finally, in August 2007, she showed C.J.‟s Bus, a 35-foot school bus that was turned into a mobile playroom.In the following years, stocked with video games and DVDs, toys, crafts, books and more, the bus traveled to disaster-torn towns, giving the children there a safe place to play. So far, C.J.‟s bus has traveled to three states affected by tornadoes or floods, cheering up more than 756 children, aged 3-13.21. When she heard that Otwell was hit by a tornado, Kathryn Martin__________.A. felt it was the most terrible experience of her lifeB. wanted to do something for the people thereC. was afraid that a tornado would strike her homeD. was extremely worried about her family members22. What does the underlined word “grief” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. SadnessB. WorryC. DisasterD. Influence23. What do we know about C.J.‟s Bus?A. It is a school bus that can take children to travel.B. It is a bus giving homeless children a safe placeC. It travels to a place to offer help when a disaster hits it.D. It is aimed at raising money for places affected by disasters.BHealth & Social Care TeacherOur client, an 11-18 mixed comprehensive school in Ealing, West London, is currently seeking a teacher for Health & Social Care.

The text is most likely to appear _________.A. in a novelB. in a magazineC. on the InternetD. in a newspaperCWhen people ask me what Down Syndrome(唐氏综合症) is, I tell them it‟s an extra chromosome(染色体). A doctor would tell you the extra chromosome causes an intellectual disability that makes it harder for me to learn things.Even though I have Down Syndrome, my life is a lot like yours. I read books and watch TV. I listen to music with my friends. I‟m on the swim team and in chorus at school. I think about the future, and I like the one who I‟ll marry. And I get along with my sisters---except when they take CDs without asking! I‟m a hard worker, a good person, and I care about my friends.Some of my classes are with typical kids, and some are with kids with learning disabilities. I have an aid who goes with me to my harder classes, like math and biology. She helps me take notes and gives me tips on how I should study for tests. It really helps, but I also challenge myself to do well. For instance, my goal was to be in a typical English class by 12th grade. That‟s exactly what happened this year!It‟s true that I don‟t learn some things as fast as other people do. But that won‟t stop me from trying. I just know that if I work really hard and by myself I can do almost anything.I can‟t change the fact that I have Down Syndrome, but one thing I would change is what people think of me. I‟d tell them, “Judge me as a whole person, not just the person you see. Treat me with respect, and accept me for who I am. The most important---just be my friend.”28. A person with Down Syndrome ____________according to the passage.A. can learn things almost as fast as normal people doB. has one more chromosome than normal peopleC. is hard to get along withD. is easy to get along with29. The writer tries to picture himself as a __________teenager.A. normalB. perfectC. lovelyD. special30. The writer feels ________about his life.A. confusedB. hopefulC. unhappyD. curious31. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To prove people with Down Syndrome are a lot like healthy onesB. To show the writer‟s honesty and optimismC. To change people‟s attitude towards people with Down SyndromeD. To describe the life of a student with learning disabilitiesDWant to live longer? Win an Oscar.A new study says that actors who received the award earn more than larger paychecks.So when 94-year-old Katharine Hepburn once remarked that she was respected internationally “like an old building”, she had no idea that her four Oscars directly influenced her longevity(长寿).The study says winning actors will live 3.9 years longer than their losing counterparts (对手). Actors who have won more than once, like Hepburn, live up to six years longer than those who were nominated (提名) but never won.“We found that they died from the same things we all die from—cancer, heart disease, but they fought them a bit longer and diseases came a bit later,” says Dr. Donald Redelmeier, the leading author of the study. Redelmeier says the sense of success and satisfaction makes one‟s soul become more full of life.“We are not saying that you will live longer if you win an Oscar,” explains Redelmeier, “or that people should go out and take acting courses. Our main conclusion is simply that social factors are important.” The study‟s implied conclusion, he says, is that doctors should ask about their patients‟personal feelings because mental well-being is related to physical health.Redelmeier says he got the idea for the study when he watched a glowing Gwyneth Paltrow win an Oscar in 1999 for her role in Shakespeare in Love. Redelmeier says, “She looked more full of life than anyone I had seen.”“We found, too, those that had multi-nominations and no win had the same life expectancy as those with just a single nomination and no win,” Redelmeier adds.32. The longevity of Oscar winners mainly has something to do with___________.A. the big money that was awardedB. mental factorsC. rich and colorful livesD. respect from others and better treatment33. Tom had five Oscar nominations but win no Oscar and Peter had only one nomination and won no Oscar either. We can tell__________.A. Tom probably will have a longer life than Peter.B. Peter probably will have a longer life than TomC. Both Tom and Peter probably will have the same life expectancyD. Both Tom and Peter probably will have a long life.34. According to the passage, we know __________.A. When Katharine Hepburn was 94, she knew her long life had something to do with her 4 Oscar prizesB. In general the number of Oscar prizes has nothing to do with a person‟s life expectancy.C. That Gwyneth Paltrow‟s full of life made Redelmeier decide to do the study.D. If you want to live a happy and long life, you should take acting courses and win Oscars.35.What would be the best title for the passage?A. Most Oscar Winners Live Longer LivesB. How to Get a Long LifeC. A New Study about Long LivesD. An Amazing Finding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。

Of course, there are times when you can’t express gratitude 43 .In that case don’t let embarrassment sink you into silence—speak up the first time you have the chance.Once a young minister, Mark Brian, was sent to a 44 town of Kwakiutl Indians in British Columbia.

Instead of saying thanks, it is their custom to 47 every favor with a favor of their own, and every kindness with an equal or superior 48 .They do their thanks.I wonder if we had words in our 49 for thank you.

You can makeyour child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently lettinghim know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve(解决) things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for him should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy(隐私)．Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations. Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation(节制)．Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager has his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.56．The main purpose of the text is to tell parents ________.A．how to get along with a teenager B．how to respect a teenagerC．how to understand a teenager D．how to help a teenager grow up57．What does the phrase “clam up” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．become excited B．show respect C．refuse to talk D．seek help58．The last paragraph is about how to teach a teenager ________.A．to use the phone in a sensible way B．to pay for his own telephoneC．to share the phone with friends D．to answer the phone quickly59．What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the text?A．Not allow him to learn driving or take drugs.B．Give him advice only when necessary.C．Let him have his own telephone.D．Not talk about personal things with him.BSince the first Earth Day in 1970, American have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment . “We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement .Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased man y ,many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first. According to US government reports , emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons .The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9 .Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with , the world is a safer and healthier place .A kind of “Green thinking ” has become part of practices .Great improvement has been achieved .In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs ,; today in 1995 there are about 6,600 .Advanced lights ,motors , and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution .Twenty –five years ago , there were hardly any education programs for environment .Today , it’s hard to find a public school , university , or law school that does not have such a kind of program .” Until we do that , nothing else will change! ” say Bruce Anderson .60．According to Anderson , before 1970, Americans had little idea about ___A. the social movementB. recycling techniquesC. environmental problemsD. the importance of Earth Day61．Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A.

CO reductionCDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important in formation that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example, some might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for on e hundred dollars!”This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only on e was a winner. He’s really a big loser!He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use thi s trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(对手) says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” that’s tr ue. However, and honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers(广告商) will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too of often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.64. How much did the lottery winner lose?A. One hundred dollars.B. Two hundred dollars.C. Three hundred dollars.D. Four hundred dollars.65.

At Christopher Columbus Museum.EA couple of years ago, before a trip to China, Nicole Davis and her US women’s volleyballteammates were warned about the prominence (显著、突出) of coach “Jenny” Lang Ping inher native country.“I was pushed over by Chinese journalists while I was just trying to put my luggage on the bus,” said Davis.Known as the “Iron Hammer” for her punishing spikes(扣球),Lang made it possible for China to dominate in the sport in the early 1980s.She was a key player on China’s 1984 Olympic gold medal winning team.When the US team arrived for the Olympics,Lang,48,who is from Beijing, had to take a different route to avoid a crowd of reporters and fans.Then came the greatest moment to Lang：While the US team was playing in a packed gym, at least8,000 Chinese fans unfurled an American flag.“That really says it all,” Davis said. “They look at her as an icon(偶像)．I’m sure it’s hard for them to see her coachi ng another country, but they love her so dearly that her success is their success.”The loyalty of the Chinese fans was tested on Friday, when China lost a match to the US.“It’s a pity that China lost the match, but I’m still glad that Lang Ping’s team w on, since she is the pride of China’s volleyball,” said Liu Chengli, a spectator. “We alsocheered forLang’s victory.”Lang said she just tried to stay professional when the two teams meet. “It doesn’t matter if we play China or any other team. It’s the same.” Lang said.Davis said she and her teammates could not have imagined the passion for volleyball among Chinese because the sport was lack of popularity in the US. The reception from Chinese fans has touched the US players, said US volleyball player Lindsey Berg.“It’s such an honor to be here and play for our coach here in China,” she said. “The amount of support that the Chinese give to her and us has been tremendous. The whole event has been unbelievable.”71．What’s the passage mainly about?A．Staying professional. B．Cheering for the Iron Hammer.C．A match between China and the US.
