Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, __34___ _____their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoyed games that move in stages, in which each stage—the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of1which side shall start—is almost a game in itself.Grown-ups can hardly find children’s game exciting, and they often feel puzzled at __35___their kids play such simple game again and again. ____36_____, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons.

Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. extensiveB. appealsC. debatedD. necessarilyE. audienceF. confidenceG. delicatelyH. efficientI. experiencedJ. withdrawK. declineA century ago, American political leaders judged public opinions by people's applause and the size of crowds at meeting. This direct exposure to the people's views did not 41 produce accurate knowledge of public opinions. It did, however, give political leaders ___42 in their public support.Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas 43 each other seven times in the summer and autumn of 1858, two years before they became presidential nominees (总统候选人). Their debates took place before 44 in cornfields and courthouse squares. A century later most presidential debates, although seen by millions, take place before a few reporters and the technicians in television studios. The public's response cannot be 45 firsthand. This distance between leaders and followers is one of the difficult problems of modern democracy. The media provide information to millions of people, but they are not yet so 46 at providing leaders with feedback from the public.Is government by acclamation (欢呼、欢迎) possible when the scale of communication is so large and impersonal? To make up for the 47 in their ability to experience public opinions for themselves, leaders have turned to science, in particular the science of opinion polling (民意调查).It is no secret that politicians and public officials make 48 use of public-opinion polls to help them decide whether to run for office, what policies to support, how to vote on important issues and types of 49 to make in their campaigns. President Lydon Johnson was famous forcarrying the latest Gallup and Roper poll results in his pocket, and it is widely believed that he began to 50 from politics because the polls reported losses in public support. All recent presidents and other major political figures have worked closely with polls.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.Radio began as a point-to-point communication device. In 1919, Radio Corporation of American would charge a fee if you sent a message from one radio to another. Either the senders or the recipients pay the fee. The purpose was basically to undercut the telegraph, and they made their money ____51_____, not by providing radio as a ____52____ but by selling hardware.In about 1922, radio _____53_____ into a broadcast mechanism. For broadcasting, in the simple sense, there was a ____54____ and it broadcast, and lots of people could hear it. But broadcasting was seen as a way to drive business to the radio hardware makers. The stations were ___55_____ by people who made radios or ___56_____, by churches and universities that wanted to get their ___57____ out but weren’t going to make money.And there was a lot of stuff which sounds very ___58___ today about how this medium was going to ____59____. And in the 20s, Radio Broadcast Magazine _____60____ a $500 prize for the best essay that answered the question: “ Who is going to pay for broadcasting, and how?” The winner suggested a ____61____ on radio listeners.

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)The day began early.An agreement had been made with the little boys the evening before. They were to be allowed to celebrate the Fourth of July, the glorious day, by the blowing of horns exactly at sunrise. But they were to blow them for precisely five minutes only, and no sound of the horns should be heard afterward till the family were downstairs. It was thought that a peace might thus be brought by a short, though crowded, period of noise.The morning came. Even before the morning, at half-past three o’clock, a terrible blast of the horns aroused the whole family.The number of the horns was most remarkable! It was as though every cow in the place had arisen and was blowing through both her own horns! “How many little boys are there? How many have we?” exclaimed Mr. Peterkin, going over their names one by one mechanically thingking he would do it, as he might count imaginary sheep jumping over a fence, to put himself to sleep. The counting could not put him to sleep now, in such a loud noise.And how unexpectedly long the five minutes seemed! Elizabeth Eliza was to take out her watch and give the signal for the end of the five minutes, and the ceasing of the horns. Why did not the signal come? Why didi not Elizabeth Eliza stop them?And certainly it was long before sunrise; there was no dawn to be seen! “ We’ll not try this plan again,” said Mrs. Peterkin. “If we live to another Fourth,” added Mr. Peterkin, hurrying to the door to inquire into the state of affairs.Alas! Amanda, by mistake, had waked up the little boys an hour too early. And by another mistake the little boys had invited three or four of their friends to spend the night with them. Mrs. Peterkin had given them permission to have the boys for the whole day, and they understood the day as beginning when they went to bed the night before. This accounted for the number of horns.It would have been impossible to hear any explanation;but the five minutes were over, and the horns had ceased, and there remained only the noise of a singular leaping of feet, explained perhaps by a possible pillow-fight, that kept the family below partially awake until the bells and cannon made known the drawning of the glorious day, the sunrise, or “the rising of the sons,” as Mr. Peterkin jokingly called it when they heard the little boys and their friends clattering down the stairs to begin the outside festivities.66. According to the passage,which event happened first?A. Mr. Peterkin noted how many boys there were.B. The Peterkins were awakened by the boys.C. Elizabeth gave the signal to stop the horns.D. Mr. Peterkin exclaimed how many boys they had.67. What did the 7th paragraph talk about?A. The palce where the boys blew their horns.B. The time when Elizabeth Eliza stopped them.C. The way how the boys blew their horns.D. The reason why more horns were over there.68. The probable main idea of this passage is that _______________.A. the little boys didn’t carry out the agreement thoroughlyB. the little boys didn’t see the signal to stop blowing their horns.C. the little boys blew horns to greet the dawn of July 4th so early.D. the Peterkins enjoyed children’s blowing of the horns on July 4th.69. Which question is not answered in the story?A. When did the horn blowing begin?B. How long ago did the custom start?C. Why did the boys blow the horns in the morning?D. How did the Peterkins feel about the horn blowing?(B)Settling in to life at OxfordWhen you first arrive in Oxford, it may take a little while for you to find your way around. The university is a large organization that is fully integrated into the city and has been evolving for 800 years. Some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike(most students in Oxford find cycling is the best way to go around), setting up a bank account, getting their computer5and mobile phone working, finding their department, getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize.One of the major events you will experience shortly after “coming up”to Oxford is matriculation. Matriculation is held at the University’s Sheldonian Theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university.International students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year. Sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in UK and introduce you to other graduate students from for all over the world who are starting their studies at Oxford at the same time as you, as well as to current Oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you. The day covers topics such as studying and learning in the Oxford system, University services, information on living in Britain and culture differences, as well as addressing practical issues such as employment, immigration and visas, health and safety. You can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow students.Another good thing to experience early on is college dining. Most colleges have a tradition of regular formal hall dinners, which consist of three or four courses, and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant. On some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner and then they may return the favor. In this way, you can get to know people studying your own and other subjects at the same time as visiting many of the historical college grounds and dining halls.Further information on your first few weeks at Oxford is available via the Students Gateway on our website, and you can get first-hand accounts of what life at Oxford is like by watching videos of students talking about their experiences on our Wall of 100 Faces.70.Which of the following is not the first thing for a newcomer to Oxford to do?A. to find a best place to socializeB. to set up a bank accountC. to go to the Sheldonian TheatreD. to get mobile phone working71.When do students feel they are truly admitted to Oxford University?A. They arrived in Oxford and settled down on campus.B. They received the offer from the admission office.C. They met the staff and took some required courses.D. They experienced the matriculation in the university.72.Which is an orientation important for international students?A. It is a good chance to ask the staff for help.B. It offers practical information about living and studying.C. It helps get students’ computers hooked to the Internet.D. It can help deal with the problem of culture differences.73.“return the favor”in the passage probably means ______________.A. inviting you for dinnerB.visiting your historic college in returnC.sharing favorite videosD.providing you with some good advice(C)When a big boat, like a cruise ship, goes through the ocean, it often creates waves. This happens when the large engines on the back of the cruise ship cause the water on the ocean’s surface move up and down violently. These waves move out from the boat in both directions. If you are captaining a smaller boat, you’d better steer clear of a ship’s wake, so that your boat is not surfing on the waves, causing it to overturnA wave is a pattern of motion. When you look at a wave, it may appear as simply water moving across the surface of the ocean. In fact, this is false. The water is actually not moving in the same direction as the wave. While the wave itself -- the pattern of motion – is moving across the surface of the ocean, the water is actually moving in a circular motion, which brings the water molecules back to their original position. The water merely gives the appearance of moving forward.If this is confusing, think of the kind of wave you do at a baseball stadium. Viewed from a distance, the wave is clearly moving across the stadium. But the thing that makes up the wave – the people – are not moving across the stadium, they’re just moving up and down in their seats. This is just like the water in an ocean wave. A lot of water is moving up and down, which gives water the appearance of moving along with the wave.Surfers pay a lot of attention to waves. If you’re not in an area where the waves are suitable for surfing, then you can’t surf. Usually, surfers gather in areas known for big waves – waves that rise high off the ocean’s surface. If the wave is bigger, then the surfer is often able to surf for longer distances and perform more tricks. The height of a wave is known as its amplitude. If you could make a wave freeze, then you could measure the wave’s amplitude by running a tape measure from the ocean’s surface to the very peak of the wave.All waves can be measured using amplitude and wavelength. While the waves created by a boat have very small amplitude – sometimes as small as a few centimeters – the wavelength can be very short, as lots of waves are being generated. By contrast, a tsunami has very high amplitude, sometimes more than 100 feet, but a relatively long wavelength, as it’s a high wave.Waves generated in the same way can have great differences in amplitude and wavelength. For example, think back to the cruise ship. While each ship creates waves caused by the movement of the boat, the properties of each of the waves may be very different. For example, a larger cruise ship, with powerful engines, may create a wave that has high amplitude and a short wavelength. However, if the7ship’s engines slow down, they may then start creating less powerful waves at a slower rate. This would cause the waves’ amplitude to decrease, but its wavelength to increase.74. What does the phrase “steer clear of a cruise ship’s wake” in the 1st paragraph mean?A. keep awake while steering a shipB. get a clear view of what is aheadC. keep away from the cruise shipD. follow the cruise ship very closely75. The author gives an example of wave people do in the stadium in order to _____________.A. illustrate how excited people are in a basketball stadiumB. clear the confusion over measuring the wave’s amplitudeC. demonstrate how to make waves in a basketball stadiumD. explain why the water appears to move along the waves76. The last paragraph gives us the impression that ________________.A. the wave’s amplitude may vary, but its wavelength remain the sameB. the move powerful the ships engines are, the higher the waves they generateC. the amplitude of a wave depends on the direction the water moves forwardD. measuring the amplitude and wavelength of waves is not quite easy77. What is this passage mainly about?A. How waves are created and measured.B. What makes the sea water move forwards.C. Why people create waves in the stadium.D. How to steer a cruise ship in the rough sea.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The paper is written in an attempt to discuss what the creative process is .Though much theory has accumulated ,little is really known about the power that lies at the bottom of poetic creation. It is true that great poets and artists produce beauty by employing all the powers of personality and by combing emotions, reason, and intuitions(直觉). But what is the magical synthesis(合成) that joins and arranges these complex parts into poetic unity?John L. Lowes, in his justly famous” The Road to Xanadu,” developed one of the earliest and still generally acceptable answers to this interesting question. Imaginative creation. He concludes , is a complex process in which the conscious and unconscious minds jointly operate. “there is ….the deep well with its chaos(杂乱) of accidently mixing images ,but there is likewise the vision which seesshining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of form , and with the vision, the controlling will ,which gives to that potential beauty actuality.”The deep well is the unconscious mind that is peopled with the facts, ideas , feelings of the conscious activity. The imaginative vision , an unconscious activity, shines through the land of chaos, of lights and shadows , silently seeking pattern and form. Finally, the conscious mind again, through will , captures and embodies the idea in the final work of art. In this way is unity born out of chaos.Though there can be no absolute certainty, there is general agreement that the periods in the development of a creative work parallel(与….相似)，to some extent ,Lowes’s theory of well , vision , form and will. There are at least three stages in the creative process: preparation, inspiration, work.In a sense, the period of preparation is all of the wri ter’s life. It is the deep well. It is especially a period of concentration which gives the unconscious mind an opportunity to communicate with the conscious mind. When remembrance of things past reaches the conscious level of the writer’s mind, he is ready to go on with the process. Part of this preparation involves learning a medium---learning a language, learning how to write, learning literary forms. It is important to note here that form cannot be imposed upon the idea. Evidence, though not enough, shows that the idea gives birth to the form that can best convey it. It is the vision, according to Lowes, that sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of form.(Answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than TEN words)78. John L. Lowes has provided an acceptable answer to the question of ______________________.79. _________________________are the four elements of John L. Lowes’ theory.80. How does the preparation stage contribute to the development of a creative work?81. According to the passage, what is the relationship between the idea and form.第II卷（共47分）I.

If you are still planning what you are going to do during the days, why not enjoy a visit to a theme (主题) park?Lots of theme parks have roller coasters (过山车). A roller coaster is anything that may appear dangerous while in fact, it's perfectly safe for family fun as long as you are over the height of 48 inches.

He told his employer (雇主) of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more relaxing life with his wife and children. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They thought they could support themselves for the rest of their life.The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He turned to bad workmanship and used poor building materials.It was an unlucky way to end his working life. When the carpenter finished his work and the employer came to see the house, he handed the front door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you."What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted (不专注的) way, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that, we would have done it differently.It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived with dignity (尊严).The sentence on the wall reads, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Who could say it more clearly? Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choices you make today.88. The old carpenter lived quite a rich life with his wife and children, didn't he?89. Why did the old carpenter want to retire?90. What did the old carpenter's employer ask him to do before he retired?91. How did the carpenter do the job his employer asked him to do?92. How did the carpenter feel when he realized that the last house he built was his home?93. What does the sentence on the wall mean?VII. Writing (作文): (共20分)94.

A roller coaster is anything that may appear dangerous while in fact, it's perfectly safe for family fun as long as you are over the height of 48 inches.

The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He turned to bad workmanship and used poor building materials.It was an unlucky way to end his working life. When the carpenter finished his work and the employer came to see the house, he handed the front door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you."What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted <不专注的> way, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that, we would have done it differently.It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only oneday more, that day deserves to be lived with dignity <尊严>.The sentence on the wall reads, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Who could say it more clearly?

Although he failed, he did cause injury to the preside nt. The crime was committed in clear view of many people. 51 , at theend of his trial, Hin ckley was found not 52 by reason of insanity (精神失常).In stead of prison, Hinckley was sent to a mental hospital, where he remains.The judgment in Hinckley ' case did more than annoy a few people. It 53 a n ati on wide debate about whether people accused of a crime can claim they were insane whe n they did it. If they were capable of 54 and the n committ inga crime, how could they later claim to have been insane? One starting point is to identify what insane means in a U.S. court oflaw.Very young childre n cannot be 55 if they do not know right from wrong, because they cannot be held morally resp on sible for their acti ons. For most people, moral resp on sibility comes with age and maturity. Psychologists, however, say that there are some adults who cannot recog nize right from wrong. Since these adults cannot tell the 56 , they should not be heldmorally responsible for their actions. In a U.S. court of law, an adult like this may be considered insane. Hinckley was judged insane because 57 determined that his mind was notfunctioning like a(n) 58 adult 'SQ he had no idea what he was doing. In stead of spe nding the rest of his life in prison, Hinckley would be committed to a mental hospital, where he could be treated for his ill ness.People who are against the use of an insanity defense say that criminals like Hinckley do know what they are doing.59 of the insanity defe nse say that every one who commits a serious crime like Hinckley 's could be samhndddfy ill. Otherwise, the person would notcommit the crime 60 . There are many people who struggle with severe men tal ill ness whodo not commit crimes. The ill nesses should not be used as a(n) 61 for viole nt behavior.People who 62 the insanity defense believe that mental illnesses are not always treatable. Psychologists have bee n able to detect patter ns of behavior. These men tal detectives have —63— evide nee that a pers on can be insane but seem no rmal. Hin ckley and others with 64_ conditions suffer from delusions (错觉).Even though people with delusions may seem no rmal, the world does not appear to them as it does to other people. Therefore, experts say, such people cannot be held to the rules of behavior other people are held to. Their puni shme nts should be 65 .51. A. Therefore B. However C. Otherwise D. Moreover52.

A. severe B. negotiable C. acceptable D. legalSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.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)Death is a serious theme worthy of great poets. For example, John Keats ' s “ When I HaveFears That I May Cease to Be ” and John Donne ' s “ Death, Be Not Proud ” both discuss death in reflective ways. However, the imagery (意象) in these poems shows that while Keats believes that death can only destroy, Donne believes that death can be overcome.Keats is afraid of death, because to him death means the loss of those things that make his life worth living: “ On the shore/ of hte wide world I stand alone, and think / Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink. ” Earlier in the poem, Keats says that he hopes this “ Love ” will b romance ” with a “ fair creaHtuerea.lso say”s that he hopes the “ Fame” he seeks witll be the resulof the “ high piled books ” produced by his “ crowded brain. ” In other words, Keats ' s feadeath is a “ nothingness ” that will arrive before he can finish his life ' s work or find his tru Donne has a different attitude toward death, and so the imagery in his poem is different, too.To Donne, death should “ be not proud, ” because it is not “ mighty and dreadful. ” Unlike K Donne sees death as weak and merely a “ slave to Fate, chance, kings, and desperatHeemen. ”also says that death is like “ restDaonndnesleb e plieves ”tha.t we will all wake from the sleepof death to everlasting life, just as we wake from our normal sleep to our everyday lives. In fact, Donne believes that only death itself will die: “ Oneshort sleep past, we wake forever, / AndDeath shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die. ”Keats and Donne both know that death is a part of life, and both poets use powerful imagery to talk about that difficult theme. The differences in this imagery show two very different attitudes toward the subject, one of which is much more positive than the other. Which poet to believe is up to the reader to decide.Not surprisingly, the readers 'own experiences may play a part in the way they respond tothese poets ' approacLhikees.the two poets and their beliefs, contemporary readers also may be divided on the subject. This may explain why Keats 'asnd Donne' psoetry remains fascinating years after their own deaths.66. According to the passage, _____ makes Keats ' s life worth livin. gA. expressing his grand passion for poetryB. walking on the shore with a pretty ladyC. defeating nothingness with his true loveD. pursuing the fame of being a romantic poet67. In Donne 's poems he believes that death is ____ .A. generally powerful and terribleB. only a ceaseless sleepC. merely the loss of work and loveD. hardly worth the fear68. Contemporary readers may view the two poets ' serious subject differently because ______ .A. they are attracted to the two poets ' esvieterlabsetliinegfsoppoB. they are divided naturally by their positive or negative personalitiesC. their own life experiences affect the understandings of the poemsD. their preferences for the poets ' strong imageries are various69. Which of the following best describes the main writing style of the passage?A. Analysis.B. Argument.C. Comparison.D. Reasoning.(B)Friends and fellow citizens: I stand before you tonight under accusation of the unproven crime of having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote. Itshall be my work this evening to prove to you that in thus doing, I not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen ' s rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizensby the National Constitution (宪法), beyond the power of any State to deny.Our democratic-republican government is based on the idea of the natural right of every individual member to a voice and a vote in making and executing the laws. We declare the duty of government to be to secure the people in the enjoyment of their unchallengeable right. We throw to the winds the belief that government can give rights.“ All men are created equal, and gifted by their Creator with certain undeniable rights. Among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. To secure these, governments are established among men, gaining their just powers from the agreement of the governed.Here is no shadow of government authority over rights, or exclusion of any class from their full and equal enjoyment. Here is pronounced the right of all men, and “ therefore, ” as the Quakerminister said, “ of all womoena, voice”intthe government. And here, in this first paragraph of the Declaration, is the declaration of the natural right of all to the vote; for how can “ the agreement of the governed ” be given, if the right to vote be denied?The introduction of the Federal （联邦的） Constitution says: “We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic peacefulness, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty ourselves and our posterity （子嗣）, do establish this Constitution for the United States of America. ”It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people—women as well as men. And it is absolute ridicule to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government —the vote.70. The speaker was standing in front of the audience to ____ .A. accuse the government of having denied treating her unfairlyB. fight for the legal right to vote in the United States as a womanC. share a recent victory on voting for the president of the StatesD. guarantee that they could better understand the National Constitution71. The expression “throw to the winds ”（Paragraph 2） is closest in meaning to “”.A. abandonB. emphasizeC. shakeD. spread72. Which of the following statements is true according to the speech?A. The Quaker minister holds conflicting opinions on women 's right to vote.B. Government authority has the right to bar some of the governed out of liberty.C. The policy is undeniably adopted that all the governed in America have the equal rights.D. There ' s no way to the real agreement of the governed if women ' s vote right is robbed.73. It can be inferred from the speech that ___ .A. i t ' s more important to have liberty than have good wishes of it.B. the Federal Constitution comes from the National Constitution.C. it 's ridiculous that womenenjoy liberty while their rights are not secured.D. racial and gender issues are among the major social problems of the USA.74. Which of the following might be the best title of the speech?A. For the Sake of Liberty and HappinessB. Vote on the Women 's RightsC. In the Name of Equal Right to V oteD.

What is the purpose of this handout?A. To sell newly published books on language testing.B. To get the audience informed of the events.C. To show the breakthrough in vocabulary teaching.D. To attract the attention of the host of 2015 IATEFL.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Financial setbacks in the form of pay cuts are having a trickle-down effect （涓滴效应） as the depression persists. Families across America are cutting or even axing kids allowances （零用钱）' to reflect what 's going on with household finances and the economy as a whole.Some jobless parents are doing it out of necessity. Other parents are using allowance adjustments to teach children about economic realities and how to budget in leaner times.“Try to use relevant news to explain the reasons behind the depression and how it 's home. If they see it obvious in their own allowance, t hey ' ll feel the impact and see how it all ties in, ” safyinsancial consultant Antwone Harris.Any reduction in allowance should be understood in age-appropriate communication, says Dr. Tony Meyer, a child psychiatrist （精神科医生） and medical director of Aurora Psychiatric Hospital. Six-to 12-year- olds are mature enough for a frank talk, but don set them back'wtith alot of details. It 's sufficient to say their allowance is lower because Mom or Dad is getting paidless at work, so there 'le s s money for the family to spend. With 12-to 18-year-olds, you can broaden the discussion to include the banking crisis and other factors that contributed to the depression, Meyer says. Younger kids have the idea that they 'raet the center of things, andadolescents by nature are especially self- concerned. “ Thlleyth'ink they ' re responsible, ” Meyersays.A cut in allowance might seem punishing, so the message that the child is not at fault needs to come across. Depending on the child ' s agael,so a“skYtohuemcatno bring some income byworking a job or helping more around the house so Mom or Dad can work more, ” he says. Kids can also contribute by means of taking over landscaping services previously done by a paid professional. “ Yoauy'lowll epr rates, and the money stays in the family, ” financial consultantAntwone Harris remarks. Meyer also suggests implementing a stimulant program to cut household expenses. Anyone who comes up with a cost-cutting idea gets 10 percent of the savings.That way, they 'll come to understand that a paycheck only goes so far, and decisions and sacrifices are part of responsible money management.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS .)78. ________ is American families 'response to the financial depression.79. What are both jobless and other parents using allowance adjustments to teach their children about?80. When communicating with 12-to 18-year-olds about reduction in allowance, parents can broaden the discussionthrough ___________________________ .81. Besides “working a job or helping more around the house”, what are the other two suggestions put forward byMeyer to bring some income to kids?第II卷(共47分)I.

fun during the summer holiday!If you are still planning what you are going to do during the days，why not enjoy a visit to a theme （主题）park？②Lots of theme parks have roller coasters （过山车）．A roller coaster is anything that may appear dangerous while in fact，it's perfectly safe for family fun as long as you are over the height of 48inches．If you like heart﹣stopping thrills，this"scream machine"is your best choice．For example，Kingda Ka is a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Great Adventure in the United States．It is the world's tallest roller coaster，the world's second fastest roller coaster．Riding this roller coaster makes you feel like you are flying．One second you may be looking at the sky and the next you are looking straight down at the ground!③Does this sound scary （惊悚的）to you？If so，we will take you to other theme parks around the world．Ocean Park in Hong Kong is the first stop．You can walk through an underwater tunnel as sharks swim overhead or watch a dolphin swimming show．Besides，cable cars will carry you more than 200metres to the top of the park．④Europa﹣Park is another good choice．If you think a few'days are not enough to travel through Europe，this theme park in Germany will show you what other European countries are like．Europa﹣Park has 12country﹣themed areas．You can first ride French bobsleds （雪橇），then eat Greek sandwiches and then take a roller coaster based on the Russian space station﹣all in one day!Besides，Europa﹣Park is very real．The street lights in the Spanish part are from Spain and the small houses in the Swiss part come from Switzerland．⑤Our last stop is Universal's Islands in the US，a world﹣famous dinosaur theme park．If you are a fan of dinosaurs，it is just the place for you．You can have an unforgettable experience and see dinosaurs in their natural homes．But be careful!Escaping from the terrible mouth of a hungry dinosaur is a 26﹣metre drop into the darkest darkness!A．ride a roller coasterB．invent a machine to screamC．look at the skyD．look straight down70．will take you to the highest point of Ocean Park？A．An undergroundB．A cable carC．A tunnelD．A 200﹣metre rope71．You can enjoy the activities in Europa﹣Park except．A．riding French bobsledsB．eating Greek sandwichesC．visiting Russian space stationD．watching Spanish street lights72．You have to to escape from a hungry dinosaur．A．become a crazy fan of dinosaurs．B．see dinosaurs in their natural homes．C．run into the dinosaur's mouth．D．jump from an extremely high place．73．Which of the following is Not True according to the passage？A．Six Flags Great Adventure lies in the USA．B．The Ocean Park is a tourist attraction in Hong Kong．C．The Europa﹣Park is located in some European countries．D．You may visit Universal's Islands in America．74．How is the passage organized in structure （结构）？（①=Paragraph （锻炼）1，②=Paragraph 2，③=Paragraph 3，…）55．（12分）What kind of story is most exciting？What story keeps you reading until the very end？The answer is the detective story．Detective stories are among the most written，read and discussed stories in the world．They can be novels，animation and movies．When we start reading a detective story，we always wish to find out the truth before we reach the end．But it can be quite difficult to solve the problem as quickly as the detective does．（75）the following elements （元素）may help you find the truth．MotiveYour motive for doing something is your reason for doing it．Motive （动机）is the reason （76） a crime．Some common motives are money，love，revenge （复仇）and so on．SuspectSuspects are those who may have done the crime．Usually there is （77）one suspect in a case．Detectives have to find out the real criminal among them．Suspects with different genders （性别），ages，jobs and personalities often confuse the readers．ClueClues （线索）are the most important things in solving a crime．Clues can be very （78）things，such as hair，mud or a piece of paper from a diary．Clues don't lead directly to the truth．Detectives use reasoning to find out what those clues truly mean，and （79）them together to find the truth．AlibiAn alibi （不在场证明）is a special kind of evidence．It means a proof of your not being at the crime scene when the crime happened．For example，if you are havingdinner with a friend when the crime happens，your friend's words are your alibi．（80），an alibi can be forged （伪造）．Your friend may have told a lie to protect you．Detective stories are like puzzles．Following the elements of motive，suspect，alibi and clue can help us see what the detectives sees and solve the puzzle in the end．C．Looking after D．Getting rid of 75．A．Looking forward to B．Paying attentionto76．A．behind B．beside C．beyond D．between 77．A．only B．about C．more than D．less than 78．A．heavy B．easy C．dangerous D．small 79．A．put B．leave C．follow D．start 80．A．In addition B．However C．As a result D．After all．56．（14分）How to Make a Weather ForecastYou don't have to be a weatherman to forecast weather．If you notice the animals，the world around you and the sky，you can predict weather on your own and with good accuracy．Instructions•Listen to birds or the sound of your ax （斧子）．If the sound is sharp，stormy weather is moving nearer．If the sound dissipates （散去），a high﹣pressure system and nice weather is on the （81）w．•Examine the moon or sun，but do not look at the sun （82）d or it will cause serious eye damage．If you see a halo （光环）around

carpenter was ready to retire．He told his employer （雇主）of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more relaxing life with his wife and children．He would miss the paycheck，but he needed to retire．They thought they could support themselves for the rest of their life．The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house．The carpenter

carpenter finished his work and the employer came to see the house，he handed the front door key to the carpenter．"This is your house，"he said，"my gift to you．"What a shock!What a shame!If he had only known he was building his own house，he would have done it all so differently．Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well．So it is with us．We build our lives in a distracted （不专注的）way，willing to put up less than the best．At important points we do not give the job our best effort．Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built．If we had realized that，we would have done it differently．It is the only life you will ever build．Even if you live it for only one day more，that day deserves to be lived with dignity （尊严）．The sentence on the wall reads，"Life is a do﹣it﹣yourself project．"Who could say it more clearly？Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past．Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choices you make today．88．The old carpenter lived quite a rich life with his wife and children，didn't he？89．Why did the old carpenter want to retire？90．What
