The professor passed out the papers. And smiles 29 on the students’ fa ces as they found there were only five questions.Three hours had passed 30 the professor began to collect papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.He looked at the 31 faces before him, and then asked: “How many pleted all five questions?” 32 a hand was raised.“How many answered four?” Still no hand.“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 33 .” But the class remained silent.The professor put down the pape rs. “That is exactly what I 34 ,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have pleted four years of study, there are 35 many things about the 36 you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively mon in everyday 37 .” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all 38 this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just 39 .”The years have weakened the name of the professor, but not the 40 he taught.21.

Kate was in charge of showing Nadia around on her first day at Buckminster Grade School.Kate wondered aloud. “I mean, you can’t learn if you can’t understand the teacher.”Nadia’s voice was a whisper. “I understand English. I will learn.” Nadia’s English was perfect.Kate was perplexed. She couldn’t understand why Nadia did not like t o speak. Then she realized that moving to a new country probably wasn’t the easiest thing to do. There were hundreds of unfamiliar and unusual things to learn------all at the same time.“There’re a lot of new things to learn, huh?” said Kate.Nadia nod ded rapidly. In a quiet voice she replied. “Many things people say, I do not understand. I have been speaking English and Romanian all my life, but I do not know what some children are saying. For example, yesterday a boy asked if I could help him find the USB port on a thin black box he was carrying. Isn’t a port a place for ships? It made no sense to me.”“Don’t worry,” said Kate, “You’ll figure everything out in time. You see, that thin black box was a puter. A USB port is a place where you can connect other machines to a puter.”Nadia and Kate were quiet after that. They took notes while the teacher gave a maths lesson. To Kate’s surprise, Nadia offered to answer questions at the blackboard. She handled every question the teacher gave her. Some of the questions were really difficult. And no one understood what was going on except Nadia and the teacher. When the teacher said that Nadia answered everything correctly, the whole class clapped their hands.Nadia was smiling when she sat back down next to Kate. “Some things,” she said in a normal voice, “are the same all over the world.”41. The underlined word “perplexed” probably means _______.A. puzzledB. angryC. shockedD. serious42. What is the message of the story?A. Talking about something familiar gives you confidence in munication.B. Answering questions in class makes you better understood by classmates.C. Language plays an important role in munication between cultures.D. Mathematics helps to improve munication between cultures.BLetter to Editor of TV WeeklyDear Sir/Madam,I read Alison Burnham’s review of When we were 12, and I do not agree with her. I thought the programme was wonderful---I found the old news pictures really interesting--- they helped to bring to life the stories the people were telling.The programme reminds me of many things from my own childhood. For example, one day when I was about five, I was going to school on the bus by myself (this was the late 1960s). My mother had given me exactly the right money for a return ticket. I held out my hand with the money in it – one big coin on top of one little coin. The bus conductor took the big top coin only and she gave me a ticket, but it was a pink one for a single journey, I needed a white for a return journey, but I was too frightened to say anything. When school finished for the day, I couldn’t catch thebus home --- I had to walk. As a grown-up, whenever I’ve been in a situation where I need to say something or take some action, this early memory of my bus ride es back to me, and I’m able to take control of the situation.I would like to say to the director, Bret Chrysler, carry on making this kind of programme. Too much TV these days in quiz shows and so-called “reality programmes.” I appreciate the human story that can make me laugh and cry.Yours faithfully,Chris Daniels43. What is Chris Daniels’ purpose of writing this letter?A. To persuade Bret Chrysler to turn away from quiz showsB. To entertain other readers with old news picturesC. To express his appreciation of the programme.D. To have his story told on the programme.44. Chris Daniels tells the story about the bus ticket to ____.A. describe how painful his early experience wasB. draw a direct response (反应) from Alison BurnhamC. show how the programme made him thinkD. teach the readers of TV Weekly a lesson45. According to the passage, Chris Daniels had to walk home because ____.A. he hadn’t got a return ticketB. he had lost his bus ticketC. he didn’t like big crowdsD. he missed the bus home46. What does Chris Daniels now think about his experience on the bus?A. He should have told the conductor then.B. He should have been well treated.C. He regrets going to school alone.D. He wished it hadn’t happened.CLiu Xiang, a 21-year-old Chinese athlete, got the gold medal of the fascinating men’s 110m hurdles before a crowd of 70,000 at the Olympic Stadium in the 28th Olympics in Athens late Friday local time. He clocked an excellent 12.91 seconds to equal the world record set by Britain’s Collin Jackson in 1993.It is the first gold Chinese men’s athlete has ever won from the track and field in the Olympics history. China has won over 100 gold medals from the summer Olympic Games since 1984 but its male athletes only got one medal from Olympics’ most popular sport, the track and field.The Shanghai native, with his father a truck driver and mother an out-of-work housewife, loved sports when he was very little. Liu was selected to the Junior Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai to practice jumping as a fourth grader in the primary school. But after a bone test showing that he will not be able to bee a tall man, Liu was asked to give up sports one year later, although he had won the national champion at that level.In xx when he attracted coach Sun Haiping’s attention as a 15-year-oldjumper, Sun was a well-known hurdle coach and he believed a star was born at the first sight of Liu. He visited Liu’s parents severa l times and finally persuaded them to let Liu transfer to the 110m hurdles.After only three years, Liu launched his career in style in the IAAF Grand Prix in Lausanne in xx by breaking the world youth and Asian record with a time of 13.12.But the first warning he sent to the world was his bronze-winning feat （战绩）at the world indoor championships in Birmingham, England, last year.In xx, Liu won the silver in the world indoor championships in Budapest in March. Two months later, he proved the winner in a race against American great Allen Johnson in the IAAF Grand Prix in Osaka, Japan, where he clocked a new Asian record and world’s season best time of 13.06 seconds.He went on to win two Johnson-absent races in Lille, France, on June 26 and Zagreb, Croatia, three days later. He put up an exciting show at the Golden Gala meet in Rome on July 3, when he and Johnson clocked an identical time of 13.11. Race officials had to examine a photo finish to declare Johnson the winner. Liu did a better job of clearing the hurdles than Johnson, but Johnson’s stronger start ended up making the difference. The race boosted（提高）Liu’s optimism(乐观) for the Olympics, although Johnson bettered his season best time by 0.01 second in Lausanne, Switzerland, on July 6.The world has put the Olympics a Johnson-Liu duel but surprisingly Johnson crashed out of the Games after falling at the ninth hurdle at round2. Johnson’s early exit paved the way for Liu’s win. He finally took the gold medal and put a Chinese man’s name on the record b ook.47. According to Paragraph One, which of the following is TRUE?A. Liu Xiang is the fastest of the mentioned athletes.B. Liu Xiang has set a new world record in the event of the men’s 110m hurdles.C. Both Liu Xiang and Jackson got a gold medal at the Athens Olympics.D. In the Olympics history, Liu Xiang is the fastest in this event.48. Before the 28th Olympics in Athens, .A. no Chinese athlete got a gold medal from the track and field at the OlympicsB. there was already a Chinese male medal winner in the track and fieldat the OlympicsC. Terrence Trammell got a gold medal from the men’s hurdles at theSydney OlympicsD. Zhu Jianhua got a bronze medal from the men’s hurdles in the 1984Los Angeles Games49. In the last paragraph, t he underlined word “duel” most probably means“ ”.A. petitionB. friendshipC. partnerD. pany50. From the passage, we can conclude that .A. Liu Xiang had no gift for jumping when he was a little boyB. Liu Xiang set a new world youth record when he was 17 years oldC. Liu Xiang has succeeded because of his coach SunD. Johnson might have won the gold medal if he had not dropped out第II卷非选择题（共四节，满分40分）第一节：任务型阅读：（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）A 10-year-old boy decided to learn judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a car accident.The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo teacher. The boy was doing well, so he couldn’t understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move.“ Master,” the boy finally said, “shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”“ This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the teacher replied.Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.Several months later, the teacher took the boy to his first tournament.Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the final.This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the judge called a time-out. He was about to stop the matchwhen the teacher appeared.“ No,” the teacher insisted, “Let him continue.”Soon after the match continued, his opponent made a mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.On the way home, the boy and the teacher reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy got up the courage to ask what was really on his mind.“ Teacher, how did I win the tournament with only one move?”The teacher answered. “ First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”第二节：单词拼写根据所给中文或首字母写出相应单词的正确形式（共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分）61. The xx Nobel Prize in L_______ was awarded to Mo Yan.62.

【2题详解】
考查被动语态和主谓一致。句意同上。由空后动词banned可知，空处谓语动词需用一般过去时，因为是被挑战，所以空处谓语动词需用一般过去时的被动语态：was/were done，主语是单数名词novel，所以空处需用be动词was。故填was challenged。
【3题详解】
考查固定短语。句意同上。空后表示原因，需用固定短语because of/due to“因为”引导原因状语，表示因为使用了毒品和攻击性语言而被学校图书馆和课程禁止。故填because of/dueto。

ADo you find yourself reaching for just one more cup of coffee to get through the day? Are you tired of being tired ? Instead of relying on things like coffee or sugar for energy, get happy by eating more foods that give you energy through nourishment. Here are four foods that can help improve your energy levels.Hemp SeedA complete protein, rich in fiber and omega-3s, hemp is a great low-glycemic (低胰岛素) addition to any diet. The glycemic index (GI) is a measurement of how fast the carbohydrates in food are broken down into glucose (葡萄糖) and how much it will affect your blood sugar. Fiber, fat and protein all lower the GI of a food, which is why hemp seeds (along with nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes)are low-glycemic. Look for hemp seed oil for salad dressing, and hemp seeds to be added into salads.Soaked AlmondsRaw almonds are nutrient dense, and soaking them releases（释放）higher nutrition potential. Soaking increases vitamin levels and removes the enzyme (酶) inhibitors that slow down digestion. I soak my almonds in water overnight (at least eight hours) and then dry them.QuinoaIt is 20-percent protein, making it a balanced source of carbohydrates. Even though you feel like you're too busy to make home-made meals, quinoa is a fast food that cooks in less than 15 minutes.Green TeaCaffeine from green tea feels steadier and less sharp than the spike and crash with caffeine from coffee. This is likely because green tea contains L-theanine, a kind of acid found in tea that helps promote relaxation.1. The writer wrote the passage in order to______.A. introduce four foods making people energeticB. find reasons why people need some coffeeC. reach for something to get through the dayD. tell people way of keeping fit2. Why did the almonds get soaked?A. It helped increase the enzyme.B. It helped unlock the nutrition.C. It helped make digestion slow.D. It helped lock nutrient dense.3. From the fourth paragraph we can know quinoa_______.A. is rich in proteinB. includes much fiberC. can be served quicklyD. has less sharp flavorBMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a disconti nued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night.F ortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.4. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn’t re turn it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.5. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?A. ended all their programsB. provided fewer channelsC. changed to commercialsD. showed all-night movies6. How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting it.B. By turning it on and off.C. By switching channels.D. By having it repaired.7. How does the author sound when telling the story?A. CuriousB. AnxiousC. CautiousD. HumorousCFor the first time in Hong Kong's history，an entertainer has been written into middle school textbooks. He is considered one of the best actors in Hong Kong. Yes，he is Chow Yun fat．The example of his long hard struggle for success has been used in a chapter in a Hong Kong middle school textbook．Using his experience，students can learn to make the most of their time and to get every opportunity to succeed．On hearing about this，Chow said happily，“I really hope that my experiences can make young people understand that one should not be afraid of difficulties and setbacks（挫折），for they are the only way to success．”Indeed，Chow has travelled a long and difficult path to reach his success．In 1955，he was born into a poor family in Hong Kong. When he was 17，he had to leave school．He worked in a number of jobs—as a postman，camera salesman and taxi driver. These experiences paved the way for him to play all kinds of roles later in life．Chow broke into the film industry in the late 1970s. He was one of the hardest working actors and starred in a number of popular TV dramas and films including “Shanghai Bund”（《上海滩》）and “A Better Tomorrow”．Since 1985，he has won many awards including Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong Film Awards .In 1995, he went to Hollywood．Although he was already in his 40s, he had to learn English．He even put chopsticks in his mouth to practise pronouncing certain sounds. His film，“Crouching Tiger，Hidden Dragon”，began to gain him more fame and recognition around the world．In 1998，the mayor of Chicago set aside January 12 as “Chow Yun fat Day．”8.Chow Yun fat has been written into middle school textbooks mainly because________．A. he plays best in Hong KongB. he keeps on struggling for successC. his experiences are very specialD. he is well thought of9. What can we infer from the passage？A. Chow Yun fat is proud of his success．B. Chow Yun fat is popular both at home and abroad．C. Chow Yun fat prefers to make a living by selling cameras rather than by performing．D. Chow Yun fat has won more awards than other actors．10. The underlined sentence（in Paragraph 6）suggests ＿＿＿＿．A. chopsticks is of great help to practise English pronunciationB. Chow Yun fat is willing to struggle with difficultiesC. Chow Yun fat has suffered a lot since he went to HollywoodD. it is hard for a person who is over 40 years old to learn spoken English11. The author wrote this passage to ＿＿＿＿．A. introduce Chow's way to successB. praise Chow for his excellent performanceC. call on people to learn from ChowD. show why Chow is popularDFacial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotions are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.12. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S?A. Joy.B. Politeness.C. Love.D. Thankfulness.13. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can _____.A. show friendliness to strangersB. be used to hide true feelingsC. be used in the wrong placesD. show personal habits 14. What should we do before attempting to “read” people?A. Learn about their relations with others.B. Figure out what they will do next.C. Find out about their past experience.D. Understand their cultural backgrounds.15. What would be the best title for the test?A. Cultural DifferencesB. Smiles and RelationshipC. Facial ExpressivenessD. Habits and Emotions其次节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）依据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

However, a recent debate has put its long-celebrated “fairness” into the spotlight.In May, a group of more than 60 Asian-American organizations filed a _____48_____ with the federal government claiming that Harvard uses racial quotas (种族配额) to control the number of Asian-Americans on campus.“To get into Harvard, Asian-Americans have to score much higher on the SAT and participate in more extracurricular and volunteer activities than white, African-American and Hispanic students,” Swann Lee, a Chinese-American writer, told NPR. And no matter if you are Indian, Chinese or Filipino, Harvard’s admissions process always puts you into a single, high-performing stereotype (偏见), she added.However, Harvard has denied this. General Counsel Robert Iuliano told USA Today that the university’s admissions are in _____49______ with the law. In fact, the percentage of Asian-American students admitted has gone up –from 17 percent a decade ago to 21 percent, while Asian-Americans ____50_____for just 6 percent of the US’ population.“Then and now, the college considers each applicant through a review, with the goal of creating a university that exposes students to a wide-range of differences: background, ideas, experiences, tal ents, and hopes,” said Iuliano.Another group of 135 organizations came out in support of Harvard’s_____51_____ and said that taking race into consideration benefits not only students, but the country. “It helps to ____52_____ the playing fieldand create diverse university learning environments,” they said in a statement. BA. opposed B. buys C. host D. survey AB. enduring AC. journalIf you had a lot of money, what would you spend it on? Think twice about that new iPhone, as science now says that you’d be better off paying for an experience that lasts a little while rather than an object that lasts longer.The idea that buying experiences is more satisfying than buying material things has been expressed for a long time by Cornell psychology professor Thomas Gilovich. In a recent _____53_____ of Psychological Science, Gilovich and psychologist Matthew Killingsworth, along with Cornell doctoral candidate (博 士研究生) Amit Kumar, supported the current understanding that spending money on experiences “provides more ______54______ happiness”, both before and after the purchase is made.“You can think about waiting for a delicious meal at a nice restaurant or looking forward to a vacation,” Kumar said. “And how different that feels from waiting for, say, your pre-ordered iPhone to arrive.”You might also pare the bad behavior of people who are waiting in line to buy material items and the better behavior of those who are waiting for a concert. 实用文档People might talk to each other about what songs the band is going to play, for example, so there is opportunity to connect with other people.“We know that social interaction is important in human happiness, so it’s going to be a much better experience,” said Kumar.Research has also found that people tend to be more generous to others when they’ve just thought about the purchase of an experience as ______55______ to a material purchase. They’re also more likely to take part in social activities.What is it about imagining experiences that’s different from thinking about future material purchases? Well, one interesting idea says that you can imagine all sorts of possibilities for what an experience is going to be. “That’s what’s fun,” Kumar said. “It could turn out a whole_____56_____ of ways.” With a material purchase, you know what you’re going to get. People just think: “Give it to me now.”A good plan for getting the most out of purchasing an experience may be to plan it far in advance. Thinking about it for days, weeks or even years only makes the experience more valuable. So it may also be time to stop those impulse (冲动) _____57______ if you want to be happy.IV. Reading prehension 实用文档Section A Directions: 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.A This past National Day holiday saw upwards of half a billion Chinese citizens travelling. While some flew off to international destinations, the ____58____ majority enjoyed the many tourist sites that China has to offer. If you were one of those people who decided to explore China’s scenic spots, you probably realized that it isn’t just the mountain steps that are steep—the entrance fees are, too! The average cost of the highest ranked 5A attractions is 109 yuan. This could prove to be a little too steep for some families, who find themselves spending too large a portion of their holiday _____59_____ on admission tickets. The 32 5A locations that upped their prices in the past five years experienced an average increase of over 40 percent. The bad news is that these prices are expected to continue to rise. So how does China’s situation pare to other parts of the world? The average fees for cultural and historical sites seem to be on par with (与… 同价) international ____60____. It’s quite another _____61_____, however, when you pare natural wonders. For example, the cost of a ticket to Zhangjiajie实用文档National Forest Park (张家界国家森林公园) hovers around 245 yuan for a three-daytour. This seems paratively high when you consider that a week long ____62____to America’s Yellowstone National Park (黄石国家公园) is a mere 74 yuan. Thereare undeniable benefits to increased revenue (收益) from ticket sales, whichsupport necessary ______63____, maintenance and operation costs. This isespecially important for sites that must keep visitor numbers down in order toprotect the natural environment. However, it must also be acknowledged that manyof China’s tourist attractions are operated by private panies who are ultimatelyprotecting their bottomline(盈亏底线).While the government has put some regulations_____64____, such as onlyallowing entrance fees to be raised once every three years, they have not_____65_____ the upper limit of ticket prices and increases. Further measuresto settle the dispute are being considered. In the meantime, some families areforced to re-think if some attractions are really worth the costs.58. A. vast 59. A. salary earnings 60.

On an April afternoon, the sun was shining almostlike it was summer. My host family and I packed the trunk of the car with tents,blankets, food and clothes and set off on a trip to Hawn State Park.The 50-minute car ride felt much shorter because of all the excitement ofgoing camping for the first time. We found that the park had special areas forcamping and a ___66___ in the mountains for hiking. We picked a flat pitch withtrees surrounding it and set up our tent. The creek nearby had a pleasant hikingroute alongside it. We walked ___67___, feeling the soft ground covered withbrown leaves and listening to the ____68___ of bird chirps and water gurgles.We even put our feet in the refreshingly clear stream water, which still____69____ a slight coldness from winter.After a tiring hiking trip and a great supper of toasted hot dogs, we each___70____ a chair and sat around the cozy campfire. The sky was turning darkand the temperature dropped little by little. I reached out my hands and thecozy fire warmed me up___71_____. When the sun was no longer in sight, I lookedup in the sky and was astounded by what I saw: The deep, dark blue sky was ___72____with stars just like a velvet (天鹅绒的) curtain decorated with diamonds. We实用文档went out to an open space and lay down on the ground to watch the stars, receivingtheir greetings from many light years away while my host father taught us howto ____73____ different constellations (星座).Under the blanket of a starry night with a breeze gently blowing, I hopedI could stay there and then forever, counting the stars, imagining their stories,and enjoying the time spent with family members.

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) 实用文档As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as yon need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home puter, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank.

However, I think it's made us stronger as a family, and the childrenare a lot happier.Liz, however, is not quite sure. "I used to enjoy my job, even though itwas hard work and long hours. I'm not really a country girl, but I suppose I'mgradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though,is being able to see more of my children.

Annika carried out the crime( C )Today, home-ownership has reached extremely high levels. Modern generations tend to believe there is something wrong with them if they rent. However, is high home-ownership really as rosy as people imagine? Staring at data first, we realize that the most successful, stable, attractive country in the Western world is Switzerland. It has tiny unemployment; wealth; high happiness and mental-health scores. Does it have high home-ownership rates? Absolutely not. In Switzerland, about seven in ten of the population are renters. Yet, with Europe's lowest home-ownership rate, the nation thrives. Now go to the other end of the misery distribution. Spain has approximately the highest home-ownership rate in Europe (at more than 80%). But one-quarter of its population are unemployed.A likely reason is that high levels of home-ownership mess up the labour market. In a sensibly functioning economy it is easy for people to move around to drop into the vibrant job slots thrown up by technological change. With a high degree of owner-occupation, everything slows. Folk get stuck. Renters can go to new jobs. In that way they do the economy a favour. As Friedman said, the rate of unemployment depends on the flexibility of the housing market.Next we e to economic breakdown. Most analysts accept that at heart it was the housing market—obsessive pursuit of homes, the engendered mortgage(房贷) lending and an unavoidable house-price crash—that sank the Western world. Germany, say, with its more efficient rental market, had a far smoother ride through trouble.As for the monetary system, in the past few decades, in the hope of getting untaxed capital gains way above their true labour earnings, many people threw their spare cash into buying larger houses or building extra bedrooms. TV programmes about how to make easy money, beautiful rising house prices, and most importantly, our falulty tax system encouraged that. When at some point market broke down, everyone suffered. Our countries ought, instead, to design tax systems that encourage people to invest in productive real activities and in innovation. Renting leaves money free for better purposes.That also points to the role of sensible budgeting over a person's lifetime. Why should we think that when we die it is necessary to have paid off an entire house? Our children do not deserve it. Let them pay for themselves. We should rent—and enjoy our lives with the money saved.Finally, moderation usually pays off. Our scientific understanding of how economies function is horribly limited. This suggests that the golden rule should be to avoid extremes. A 50-50 mix of home-ownership and renting, not the 70-30 split that is now observed in so many Western nations, makes sense.82. The cases of Switzerland and Spain prove that ______.A. low home-ownership rate at about 30% is most favourable for economyB. home-ownership mainly decides a country’s citizens’ mental health.C. home-ownership has a lot to do with a country’s technological developmentD. low home-ownership increases the mobility of job market and economy.83. The main reason to make people invest in housing market is ______.A. the problematic taxing approach favouring house buyingB. people’s desire to avoid their money from devaluingC. easy channels to obtain methods to make easy moneyD. people’s wishes to live in larger and more fortable houses84. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Switzerland suffers the worse unemployment in Europe.B. Renting allows more money into more creative economic activities.C. Germany’s effective mortgage system saw it through the western economiccrisis.D. Our children have the right to enjoy the housing property we have paid off.85. What opinion does the author agree with most?A. People should learn the workings of housing market.B. Laws should be set up to stop people from buying houses.C. An adequate rate of home-ownership should be kept.D. People should follow the good example of Europe in housing investment.I.

2021-2022学年高二上学期开学测试英语试题时间：90分钟满分：120分第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文,从每题所给A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AJune 18 is the birthday of my late sister, Tanya. She would have been 49 years old this year, but that's increasingly difficult for me to imagine. She is frozen in time at 37.Tanya died more than a decade ago and the wound left by her loss has healed into a scar (疤痕).It's a big. scar. You can't know me for very long without discovering my scar. Trust me; if you haven't found it on your own, I will point it out to you. I want you all to know that she existed, and that she mattered.When we first lose a loved one, we ask, “How will I live without you?” and wounds are open and weeping. We don't know how we'll cope with the pain. But then the wounds form scars, and we learn to live with our new skins.“How can I remember you?” we ask.So many people are hesitant to talk about my sister. It is as though mentioning her will remind me that she is dead, and upset my balance when I am so stable and happy. But I never forget my sister, not for a moment.And so I love it when people mention Tanya's name. Occasionally, I come across one of her friends, and they casually bring up a memory, and it is like a gift.So if you have friends who have lost loved ones, please don't avoid talking about their loved one. You won't remind them of their loss, because it is always there. They haven't forgotten their scar. They just don't point it out to you.Instead, try to reassure (使安心) them their loved one is not forgotten. Ask questions about the deceased (逝去的）person's life. Keep them alive in the only way you can after a person is gone, with your words and your memories.I love hearing from friends on my sister's birthday, It makes her present, despite her absence.

Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg（MLU)joined forces with the Leibniz Institute for Plant Biochemistry (IPB) to discover the molecular (分子的) processes of plant growth. In Current Biology, a scientific journal, they presented their findings on high-temperature plant growth. This could lead to developing plants that can survive global warming.Plants react to even small temperature changes, but they are unable to move to new locations. “When temperatures rise, plants grow taller ... to cool themselves off. Their stalks (茎) become taller, and their leaves become narrower and grow farther apart. Yet, this makes the plant more unstable overall," explains Professor Marcel Quint, an agricultural scientist at MLU. Unstable plants bend faster in the rain and produce less food that's also less nutritious.There's still lots to learn about plant reactions to temperatures. “We are just starting to understand how plants detect(发现）the changes in temperature..."Quint says. Earlier studies have shown that the protein PIF4 directly controls plant growth and is also dependent on temperature. When it's cold, PIF4 is less active, meaning the plant doesn't grow. At higher temperatures PIF4 activates (激活) growth-promoting genes, and the plant grows taller. This is new information, says Quint.To understand it, they studied the growth of thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana,拟南芥seedlings. Normally, its seedlings form short stems (茎) at 20 C .These stems become much longer at 28 C. They discovered a hormone(荷尔蒙）that activates the PIF4 at high temperatures, thus producing the protein. The findings may help to breed (培育) plants that remain stable even at high temperatures and produce many crops.8. Why did the researchers at MLU and IPB conduct their research?A. To study the negative effects of global warming.B. To find out how plants help reduce global warming.C. To observe how global warming affects plant growth.D. To understand the ways that plants cause global warming.9.What can we learn from paragraph 2?A. Low temperatures have little impact on plants.B. Plants prefer dry weather to rainy weather.C. Plants are very sensitive to changes in soil.D. High temperatures reduce crop production.10.What do we know about PIF4?A. It mainly exists in thale cress seedlings.B. It works differently at different temperatures.C. It is a kind of gene that controls plant growth.D. It is a plant hormone that works at high temperatures.11.Who will probably benefit most from the findings?A. Farmers.B. Botanists.C. Researchers.D. Environmentalists.DUber has picked Melbourne as the first city outside of the United States to test its flying taxis.Test flights in the Australian city will begin next year with a goal of commercial ride-hailing (打车) services by 2023, it announced on Tuesday.＂We will see other Australian cities following soon after,” Susan Anderson, Uber's regional manager for Australia, said at the company's annual flying car conference in Washington DC.Melbourne will be the third city to host trials of Uber's flying taxis, after Dallas, Texas, and Los Angeles, California, the electric taxis will be flown by a pilot.Uber has partnered with NASA for its flying taxi program, named Elevate, and is one of several companies racing to make flying vehicles a reality. Other big names in the business include Rolls Royce and Boeing.Even as it works on developing autonomous, electric flying vehicles – which are still several years away - Uber is taking its service to the skies in other ways.The company will start a helicopter service on July 9, taking passengers from Manhattan to JFK Airport in eight minutes. It says customers who buy the roughly $200 ticket will save an hour of travel time during rush hour.But the rollout (首次展示）of that service is now clouded by safety concerns about increased air traffic in cities, following two accidents in New York City in recent weeks.A helicopter crashed onto the roof of a Manhattan building on June 10, killing the pilot. This deadly accident came weeks after a helicopter crash in the Hudson River. There were no deaths in that incident. “For us, it shows the need to make safety the absolute base of everything we do," said Eric Allison, Uber's head of Elevate.Safety will also be a concern in Australia, where Uber has nearly 4 million regular customers for its ride-hailing service.“We will continue to work with communities and governments to ensure that we create an urban aviation (飞行) ride-share network that is safe, quiet and green," Anderson said.12.What can we learn about the flying taxis from the text?A. Most flying taxis are self-driving.B. The flying taxi was first tried out in Melbourne.C. Flying taxis could be used in Australia in several years.D. The flying taxis turned out to be a failure in America.13.Why does the author mention Uber's helicopter service?A. To further introduce NASA's cooperation with Uber.B. To show the challenges facing the flying taxi service.C. To explain why Uber's technology stands out.D. To describe the development of Uber's flying services.14. What is the author's major concern about flying taxis?A. Safety.B. Management.C. Side effects.D. Affordability.15. What is the author's attitude toward the flying taxi?A. Objective.B. Skeptical.C. Disapproving.D. Optimistic.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。

SHE’S GOT ANSWERSfootball in the playground for fear that a child might be hurt Besides, now the school says there must be no homework because the local secondary school can’t keep up with the amount of homework given in the primary school. Can the school do this? Puzzled Dadcan’t if enough parents do something about it. It is not just schools. We live in a society which wishes to get rid of risk. However, schools should have a little mon sense and courage. Children need risk if they arc to grow up self-sufficient and confident. They need homework, too, if they are to fulfill their academic potential plain, loudly.have a beautiful teenage daughter who spends an hour making up her face in front of the mirror every day. I tell her to go easy. She just gets mad or bursts into tears. How can I make her understand she’s beautiful the way she is. Plain Momcan’t. Your daughter is at the age when she’s trying to look beautiful, trying on new masks. And if her friends all dress up as she does, you’re in for an extra hard time. Support her and tell her she’s beautiful — even if she looks ridiculous for now. Then invite her to join you for a day at a spa. Let her try various looks until she's fortable in her own skin.86. Why are the children not allowed to play football in the playground?A. The school is afraid that children might be injured.B. The school is not sensible and confident.C. The children don’t have enough time to do homework.D. The children may fail to fulfill their academic potential.87. What disturbs Plain Mom is that her daughter________________.A. bees madB. cries a lotC. spends much rime before the mirrorD. is not beautiful enough88. The solution to Plain Mom's problem is to__________.A. make her daughter look less ridiculousB. let her daughter dress up like her friendsC. make her daughter go to a spa every weekD. let her daughter feel herself what beauty is(B)Zoe Chambers was a successful PR (Public Relations) consultant and life was going well — she had a great job, a beautiful flat and a busy social life in London. Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work. “The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through,” she said. “After everything I’d done for the pany, they dismissed me by text! I was so angry and I just didn’t feel like lookin g for another job.I hated everything about the city and my life.”Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend, Kathy, to e and stay. Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in north-west Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later, she is still on the farm.“The moment I arrived at Kathy’s farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay,” said Zoe. “Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless.”Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. “It’s a hard life, physically very tiring,” she says. “In London I was stressed and often mentally exhausted. But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all I need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy’s wonderful dinners.”Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a newexperience. Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor. Since Christmas, she has been helping with the lambing —watching a lamb being born is unbelievable, she says, “It’s one of the most moving experiences I’ve ever had. I could never go back to city life now.”89. When working as a PR consultant in London, Zoe thought she lived a_________ life.A. satisfyingB. toughC. meaninglessD. boring90. The most important reason why Zoe went to visit Kathy’s farm is that___________.A. Zoe lost her job as a PR consultantB. Kathy persuaded her to do soC. Zoe got tired of the city lifeD. Zoe loved Wales more than London91. How docs Zoe feel about the country life according to the passage?A. Tiresome and troublesome.B. Romantic and peacefulC. Mentally exhausting but healthyD. Physically tiring but rewarding.92. Which of the following is closest to the main idea of the passage?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. A misfortune may turn out a blessing.D. Kill two birds with one stone.(C)A study involving 8,500 teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant when it es to money. The findings, the first in a series of reports from NatWest that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money, arc particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts than any before.University tuition fees are currently capped at £3,000 annually, but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.In the research, the teenagers were presented with the terms of four different loans but 76 per cent failed to identify the cheapest. The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average £ 31,000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just £ 17,815. The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than £ 10,000. Average debts for graduates are £ 12,363.Stephen Moir, head of munity investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Groupwhich owns NatWest, said. “The more exposed young people are to financial issues, and the younger they bee aware of them, the more likely they arc to bee responsible, forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively.”Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs. They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts. Nikki Fairweather, aged 15, from St Helens, said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance, but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.93. Which of the following can be found from the five-year research project?A. Students understand personal finances differently.B. University tuition fees in England have been rising.C. Teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.D. The students’ payback ability has bee a major issue.94. The phrase“to raise the ceiling” in paragraph 2 probably means“______________”A. to raise the student loansB. to improve the school facilitiesC. to increase the upper limit of the tuitionD. to lift the school building roofs95. According to Stephen Moir, students____________.A. are too young to be exposed 10 financial issuesB. should learn to manage their finances wellC. should maintain a positive attitude when facing loansD. benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance96. What can we learn from the passage?A. Many British teenagers do not know money matters well.B. Teenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.C. Financial planning is a required course at college.D. Young people should bee responsible adults.(D)The world economy has run into a brick wall. Despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a potential hunger crisis in poor countries and an energy crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. The result is a global food crisis. Wheat, corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years. And oil prices have increased more than three times since the start of xx. These food-price increases, bined with increasing energy costs, will slow if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will evenaffect political stability. Practical solutions to these problems do exist, but we’ll have to start thinking ahead and acting globally.Here are three steps to ease the current food crisis and avoid the potential for a global crisis. The first is to promote the dramatic success of Malawi, a country in southern Africa, which three years ago established a special fund to help its farmers get fertilizer and seeds with high productivity. Malawi’s harvest doubled after just one year. An international fund based on the Malawi model would cost a mere $10 per person annually in the rich world, or $10 billion altogether.Second, the U.S. and Europe should abandon their policies of paying partly for the change of food into biofuels. The U.S. government gives farmers a taxpayer-financed payment of 51 cents per gallon of ethanol (乙醇)changed from corn. There may be a case for biofuels produced on lands that do not produce foods — tree crops, grasses and wood products — but there's no case for the government to pay to put the world’s dinner into the gas tank.Third, we urgently need to weather-proof die world's crops as soon and as effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pond — which collects rainwater to be used in dry weather — can make the difference between a good harvest and a bad one. The world has already mittedto establishing a Climate Adaptation hind to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has not yet acted upon the promise.97. An international fund based on the Malawi model would__________.A. cost each of the developed countries $10 billion per yearB. aim to double the harvest in southern African countries in a yearC. decrease the food prices as well as the energy pricesD. give poor farmers access to fertilizer and highly productive seeds98. With the second step, the author expresses the idea that_________.A. it is not wise to change food crops into gasB. it is misleading to put tree crops into the gas tankC. we should get alternative forms of fuel in any wayD. biofuels should be developed on a large scale99. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. A rain-collecting pond is a simple safeguard against dry weather.B. A Climate Adaptation Fund has been established to help poor regions.C. The world has made a serious promise to build farm ponds.D. It makes a great difference whether we develop wood products or not. 100. In the passage, the author calls on us to_________.A. slow down but not to stop economic growthB. develop tree crops, grasses and wood productsC. achieve economic growth and political stabilityD. act now so as to relieve the global food shortagePaper TwoI. Word transformation: 12%1. On each floor of this building, litter bins are provided for the____________ of household waste. (dispose)2. It is difficult for most of the city dwellers to survive without today’s_________ forms of munication and transportation. (sophistication)3.

Grammar: 8%(A)There is nothing quite as fun and refreshing as a cool dip in the water on a hot, wet summer day. However, playing in water can be dangerous 1______you know the rules of water safety.The first rule of water safety is to always swim with a friend. If you havea problem, the friend can help you to run to get help. Besides, it is always more fun if you have a friend to play 2______. It is best to have an adult present, especially if you are not a good swimmer. Never swim at a beach 3______there is no lifeguard or adult present.Swimming pools are usually well supervised but you can still get injured.

If you are a beginning swimmer, always 5______ (stay) in the shallow end.If you swim in a river or lake, be sure to investigate 6______is below the water surface. If you jump or dive into unknown waters, you 7______seriously injure yourself on a hidden object. If you go boating, do remember to wear a lifejacket.Swimming and boating are among the 8______ (enjoyable) summer activities. Protect yourself by following these basic rules of safety.(B)Treasure hunts 9______ (excite) people’s imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. Kit Williams, a modem writer, had the idea of bining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues found in a book when he wrote a children’s story, Masquerade, in 1979. The book was about a hare, and a month before it came out。

If we have 41 around or changed our life situation 42 ,we may be lucky enough to have had several. The best friend relationship is often our earliest43 peer relationship, and it can be a source of great warmth and 44 throughout ourlives. The characteristics of best friendship change as we grow up and grow older, but the heart of it remains the 45 . Our best friends are a warm shelter in which we feel free to be fully ourselves, to share our deepest secrets, to 46 when we are overtaken by tiredness, to have a 47 when there is something nice to happen in our life—a place in which we feel completely welcome to give and receive that most 48 of all gifts, love.Most close relationships do face 49 from time to time, and one of the characteristics of an enduring best friendship is its ability to 50 the storms and to remain unbroken even as it faces changes. Our best friends are those who manage to love us through all of our51 , as we do the same for them. We find ways to hug and 52 the differences between us and offer love and 53 no matter what. We allow each other to be 54 as we are at a given moment, even as we allow each other to change over time. 55 , best friends sometimes feel like family. We know we will stick together 56 we take our individual roads.We may be on the phone with our best friends every day, or we may not have 57with each other for a year, yet we know that our bond will be strong and 58 when we do 59 each other.

D．When a couple choose a beach with children, Playa la Audiencia is their best choice.If two scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory are correct, people will still be driving gasoline powered cars 50 years from now, giving out heat-trapping carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) into the atmosphere—and yet that carbon dioxide will not contribute to global warming.In a proposal by two scientists, vehicle emissions(排放) would no longer contribute to global warming. The scientists, F. Jeffrey Martin and William L. Kubic Jr., are proposing a concept, which they have named Green Freedom, for removing carbon dioxide from the air and turning it back into gasoline.The idea is simple. Air would be blown over a liquid solution of potassium carbonate, which would absorb the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide would then be put to chemical reactions that would turn it into fuel(燃料): gasoline or jet fuel.This process could change carbon dioxide from an unwanted, climate-changing pollutant into a vast resource for renewable fuels. The cycle—equal amounts of carbon dioxide produced and removed—would mean that cars, trucks and airplanes using the synthetic(合成的) fuels would no longer be contributing to global warming.Although they have not yet built a synthetic fuel factory, or even a small model, the scientists say it is all based on existing technology. “Everything in the concept has been built, isoperating or has a close cousin that is operating.” Dr. Martin said.The Los Alamos proposal does not go against any laws of physics, and other scientists who have independently suggested similar ideas. Dr. Martin said he and Dr. Kubic had worked out their concept in more detail than former proposals.There is, however, a major fact that explains why no one has built acarbon-dioxide-to-gasoline factory: it requires a great deal of energy.According to their analysis, their concept, which would cost about $5 billion to build, could produce gasoline at an operating cost of $1.40 a gallon and would turn economically practical when the price at the pump hits $4.60 a gallon.Other scientists said the Los Alamos proposal perhaps looked promising but could not evaluate it fully because the details had not been published. “It’s definitely worth pursuing,” said Martin I. Hoffert, a professor of physics at New York University. “It’s not that new an idea. It has a couple of pieces to it that are interesting.”63．What is the value of the sci entists’ proposal?A．It increases the productivity of a fuel factoryB．It decreases the cost of producing gasolineC．It reduces the pollution caused by car drivingD．It promotes a new idea of environmental protection64．The underlined part “has a close cousin that is operating” probably means the technology in the concept ________.A．has been popular for so longB．has been ignored by many peopleC．is not appropriate for practiceD．will be put into practice in the near future65．What is the biggest challenge in realizing the concept Green Freedom?A．There is no theoretical basis.B．It is not economically practical.C．There is no solution to some technical problems.D．Only a few scientists support the idea.Why not write in a foreign language? If people feel free to choose their profession, their religion, and even their sex, why not just decide which language you want to write? Eversince Jhumpa published In Other Words in Italian, people have been asking me, “Why don’t you write in Italian, Tim? After al l, you’ve been in the country 35 years. What keeps you tied to English?” Is it just a question of economic convenience?Certainly economics can be important. It was the factor that pushed Conrad to abandon his Polish mother tongue. If it is not possible to publish at home, or to publish there as one would wish to publish, then one is likely to go elsewhere. And if to publish elsewhere one has to change language, then some authors are willing to take that step.Something of the same logic has driven many writers from Africa, Asia to write in French and English in recent years. There is also the fact that people in Europe and the West are interested in the countries they grew up in. Just as in the nineteenth century, novelists like Thomas Hardy could “sell” th eir familiarity with peasant life to a middle-class metropolitan public, so these writers have interested us with stories that might seem common in their home countries.There is also a real internationalism in the decision to change language. If you have “a message” and if English is the language that offers maximum spread, then it would seem appropriate to use it.All these make sense. Critics tend to pay attention only to those who have made a success of writing in a new language. In April 2014, a New York Times article essentially listed young literary stars who had switched to writing in the main Western languages. At this point, the native English speaker almost begins to feel at a disadvantage for having been born into the dominant culture. Should we perhaps head for Paris, like Beckett or Jonathan Littell, just to be between two worlds? Or look for something more exotic(异国的) and have ourselves translated back into English afterward? However, one fact is that changing languages doesn’t always work.I did write a novel in Italian. But after rereading it, I decided against it. My work lost power with the switch of language. My real subject matter still had to do with England and it was to my home culture that my books were addressed. The second language never seems to mean quite as much as the first. In any event, after my early experiment, I never went back to write in Italian. Changing language is not the only way to bring energy to your writing. 66．The author writes the first paragraph to ________.A．introduce the topic of this passage B．provide background information C．stress the importance of English D．explain why he writes in English67．Why are some writers willing to write in a foreign language?A．They have published a lot of works at home.B．Their works are uncommon in their own countries.C．A new language may offer a wider readership.D．They want to be accepted by middle class.68．What can we infer from the passage?A．Native English writers are at a disadvantage for writing in English.B．Writers can’t be entirely separated from their own culture and language.C．Writers should write in a foreign language to draw critics’ attention.D．Any writer can succeed with the switch of a new language.69．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Write in a foreign language B．Publish at homeC．Write in mother tongue D．Change language to bring energyWhen the residents of Buenos Aires want to change the pesos they do not trust into the dollars they do, they go to an office that acts as a front for thriving illegal exchange market.As the couriers carry their bundles of pesos around Buenos Aires, they pass grand buildings like the Teatro Colon, an opera house that opened in 1908, and the Retiro railway station, completed in 1915. In the 43 years leading up to 1914, GDP had grown at an annual rate of 6%, the fastest recorded in the world. In 1914 half of Buenos Aires’s population was foreign-born. Its income per head was 92% of the average of 16 rich economies.It never got better than this. Its income per head is now 43% of those same 16 rich economies; it trails Chile and Uruguay in its own backyard.The country’s dramatic decline has long puzzled economists. “If a guy has beenhit___shots it’s hard to work out which one of them killed him.” says Rafael di Tella. But three deep-lying explanations help to throw light on the country’s decline. Firstly, Argentina may have been rich 100 years ago but it was not modern. The second theory stresses the role of trade policy. Thirdly, when it needed to change, Argentina lacked the institutions to create successful policies.Argentina was rich in 1914 because of commodities; its industrial base was only weakly developed. The landowners who made Argentina rich were not so bothered about educating it: cheap labor was what counted.Without a good education system, Argentina struggled to create competitive industries. It had benefited from technology in its Belle Epoque period, but Argentina mainly consumed technology from abroad rather than inventing its own.Argentina had become rich by making a triple bet on agriculture, open market and Britain, its biggest trading partner. If that bet turned sour, it would require a severe adjustment. The First World War delivered the initial blow to trade. Next came the Depression, which crushed the open trading system on which Argentina depended. Dependence on Britain, another country in decline, backfired(失败) as Argentina’s favored export market signed preferential deals with Commonwealth countries.After the Second World War, when the rich world began its slow return to free trade with the negotiation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in 1947, Argentina had become a more closed economy. An institution to control foreign trade was created in 1946; the share of trade as a percentage of GDP continued to fall. High food prices meant big profits for farmers but empty stomachs for ordinary Argentines. Open borders increased farmers’ taking but sharpened competition from abroad for domestic industry. Heavy export taxes on crops allow the state to top up its decreasing foreign-exchange reserves; limits on wheat exports create surpluses(过剩) that drive down local prices. But they also dissuade farmers from planting more land, enabling other countries to steal market shares.70．Grand buildings are mentioned in the second paragraph to show ________. A．Argentines were talentedB．Argentina was once a rich countryC．Argentines miss the past of ArgentinaD．Argentina has a suitable infrastructure71．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Argentina is richer than Uruguay.B．Argentina was once attractive to immigrants.C．Britain is playing a leading role in the development of Argentina.D．Argentina is not serious about its agriculture and open markets.72．The underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph implies that ________.A．the decline of Argentina welcomes an analysis from authoritiesB．it is hard to explain the reasons for Argentina’s declineC．it takes time to explain the reasons for Argentina’s decli neD．Argentina has declined for many reasons73．Why did landowners ignore education?A．They wanted bring in a bigger profit.B．They hadn’t realized the importance of education.C．They wanted to keep farmers under control.D．They put emphasis on economic development of the country.74．What is the root of the problem of Argentina’s trade policy?A．Argentina depends heavily on foreign technology.B．Many world events caused Argentina to break down.C．Argentina failed in adjusting itself appropriately.D．The conflicts between classes needed to be solved.75．What will be discussed after the passage?A．Expectations about Argentina’s future.B．Adjustments for attracting foreign capital.C．Proper distribution of national budgets.D．Institutions needed to develop successful policies.四、任务型阅读Caffeine myth or caffeine fact? It’s not always easy to know. Chances are you have some misunderstanding about caffeine. Read on. Here are some of the most common myths about caffeine and some facts have been gathered to shed light on them.Myth one: Caffeine is addictiveCaffeine is a stimulant(起刺激作用的食物) to the central nervous system, and regular use of caffeine does cause mild physical dependence. But caffeine doesn’t threaten your physical, social, or economic health the way addictive drugs do. If you stop taking caffeine abruptly, you may have symptoms for a day or more, especially when you have been used to consuming two or more cups of coffee a day. However, caffeine does no cause the severity of withdrawal or harmful drug-seeking behaviors as drugs or alcohol. For this reason, most experts don’t consider caffeine dependence a serious addiction.Myth two: Caffeine probably causes insomnia(失眠症)Processed mainly through the liver, caffeine has a relatively short half-life. This means you can get rid of half of it within about five to seven hours on average. After eight to ten hours,75% of the caffeine is gone. For most people, a cup of coffee or two in the morning won’t prevent them from sleeping at night. Consuming caffeine later in the day, however, can interfere with sleep. Your sleep won’t be affected if you don’t consume caffeine at least six hours before going to bed.Myth three: Caffeine harms childrenAs of 2004, children aged 6 to 9 consumed about milligrams of caffeine per day. This is well within the recommended limit. However, energy drinks that contain a lot of caffeine are becoming increasingly popular, so this number may go up. Some kids are sensitive to caffeine, developing temporary anxiety or irritability, with a “crash” afterwards. Also, most caffeine that kids drink is in sodas, energy drinks, or sweetened teas, all of which have high sugar content. These empty calories put kids at higher risk for obesity. Even if the caffeine itself isn’t harmful, caffeinated drinks are generally not good for kids.Myth four: Caffeine has no health benefitsCaffeine has few proven health benefits. But the list of caffeine’s potential benefits is interesting. Any regular coffee drinkers may tell you that caffeine improves alertness, concentration, energy and clear-headedness. Scientific studies support these subjective finding. One French study even showed a slower decline in cognitive ability among women who consumed caffeine. Other possible benefits include helping certain types of headaches. These research findings are interesting, but still need to be proven.五、单词拼写86．—I cannot stand seeing Tom so weak.

In 2002, my mom and dad went back to the adoption agency (收养机构) in Korea where they got my sisters and me. They came home with George.He seemed fine at first. But six months later, when he was around l, my mom and dad told us George wouldn’t grow up like us. They said George has autism (自闭症) and that he’d have more challenges. One day my parents brought home some sign-language videos. They said we were all going to learn signing together. That was when I knew George might never talk.Living with George can be a roller coaster ride. He wants to play all the time, which makes him lovable. But he can be aggressive (有攻击性的). If he doesn’t get what he wants, he throws a fit. When George acts like this at home, I take him to the couch or the floor and lie with him until he cools off. That’s my role. I often have to hold hi m down when he loses control of himself. I’m the only one in myhome who isstrong enough to handle George physically at this point, which is difficult.I thought having a brother would mean I’d have someone on my side all the time. I thought that if I had a fight with my sisters, I’d have him at my back. It didn’t end up that way. But the people in your life are there for a reason. Having George in the family has made us all closer. He’s not only a connection point, but a responsibility that we all share. I t has taught us to compromise (妥协).36．What can we learn about the author’s family?A．The family had their first child in 2002.B．The brothers and sisters have no blood relationship.C．There are five people in the family altogether.D．The family communicate with each other in sign language.37．The underlined part “throws a fit” in Paragraph 3 probably means“______.”A．gets very angry B．turns to othersC．does it himself D．keeps silent38．We can infer from the last paragraph that______.A．George always supports the author B．George has learned to compromise C．the author loves George very much D．the author often fights with his sistersYou probably know that frogs hop ( 双足跳). But did you know that there’s a small frog in the Pacific Northwest that bellyflops（肚子先着水）? It’s called a tailed frog.Dr.Rick Essner, who has been studying tailed frogs for the past few years, says, “ I’ve looked at thousands of jumps and have never seen them land on their feet like other frogs.” Most of the time, tailed frogs land on their stomachs and then bring their back legs in to prepare for another jump.Essner forst noticed these frogs because of the way they swim. Other frogs kick both of their back legs at the same time. But when a tailed frog swims, it pushes first with one leg and then the other.To try to find out why tailed frogs bellyflop, Essner and other scientists collected and filmed different kinds of frogs. They found that all of the frogs start their jumps the same way: they hold out their legs. The change comes in the landing. Tailed frogs can't move their back legs as quickly as other frogs do. Maybe they don’t need to. Tailed frogs live around water and quickly jump into the water to escape danger.Early frogs developed around watery areas and could jump quickly into the water to escape danger. Scientists think those frogs blended in with (与…融合在一起) the green plants on the side of the rocky rivers, just like today’s tailed frogs. “Ｉwould guess that other animals would have problems detecting them, ” explains Essn er. When other animals find those early frogs, the frogs could jump into the river. They didn’t need to continue hopping.Tailed frogs and other kinds of frogs went their own ways about 200 million years ago. Tailed frogs stayed by rivers. Other kinds of frogs moved to places where new hopping skills allowed them to survive.39．What’s special about the detailed frog ?A．It has a long tailB．It jumps on one footC．It stars its jump differentlyD．It lands differently from other frogs.40．Why do tailed frogs bellyflop?A．They have never left the water to live .B．They have trouble in holding out their legsC．Their back legs can’t catch up while jumping..D．Their front legs develop better than the back ones.41．The underlined word “detecting” in Paragraph 5 means “______”.A．eating B．killingC．using D．discovering42．When they are in danger, the detailed frogs would _________.A．jump into the water for protectionB．hop around quicklyC．hide in the green plants near the riverD．jump into the rockWhat is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed (展示) at the entrance? Or the soft background music?But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop’s scent may not be outstandin g compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers’ intension to purchase increased by 80 perce nt.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.Some ye ars ago, the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’ disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut (椰子) scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even ope ned a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.43．According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?A．Friendly assistant. B．Unique scents.C．Soft background music. D．Attractive window display.44．E-shops are mentioned in the passage to ______.A．show the advantages of brick-and-mortar storesB．urge shop assistants to change their attitudeC．push stores to use sights and soundsD．introduce the rise of e-commerce45．The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means ______.A．a platform that exhibits goodsB．a spot where travelers like to stayC．a place where customers love to goD．a target that a store expects to meet46．The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A．compare and evaluate B．examine and assessC．argue and discuss D．inform and explain四、七选五First aid on burnsTreating a hurt person quickly is called first aid.First aid does not require expert medical help–anyone can learn first aid.One of the most common injuries is a burn.47．So what should you do if someone suffers a burn?First,look at the burn.Is it a small burn?Doctors say a small burn is about 23 millimetres across.Then ask the person,“Is your burn very painful?”48．If you are dealing with a small painful burn,it is not serious.You can treat it without a doctor with the following steps.49．Burns often make the injured body part swell(肿胀).Close-fitting clothes can cause injuries as the body swells.Also remove any jewellery from fingers and neck and so on.Then treat the burned area with cool running water.Do not use ice.50．This iscalled“flushing”.After flushing,cover the burn.A clean bandage or cloth is good.51．If the burn is more serious,you must take the person to a doctor.But your early help will give the person the best chance to make a good recovery.A．It’s important to cool the area.B．Ice is too cold and can damage the skin.C．Do not use anything that may stick to the burn.D．Remove the person’s clothes around the burned area.E.Surprisingly,more serious burns are not very painful.F.The swelling may make it difficult for the person to breathe.G.But the right,quick treatment for burns can make a big difference.五、阅读表达阅读表达阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容，在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息（不多于五个单词），完成对该问题的回答。

On September 11,1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital,she put him in my lap,saying,”I promised you a gift,and here it is .” What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mun wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I head mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”,“pitiful”，and “dying”, which sounded ominous.Christmas was ing, don’t expect any presents this year ”Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room.I’d never seen him cry before.The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say.”what? he’s all right?” he hung up and shouted upstairs.”The hospital said we can bring Richard home! ”“thank god!”I heard Mum cry.From the upstairs window. I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they was not empty: they were filled with love!21. what happened to the author on September 11 1958 ?A He got a baby brotherB He got aC hristmas giftC He became four yesrs oldD He received a doll22.What does the underlined word“ominous”in Paragraph 3 probably mean？A.Impossible.B.BoringC.DifficultD.Fearful23.Which word can best describe the feeling of the father when Christmas was ing?A.Excitement.B.Happiness.C.Sadness.D.Disappointment.24.What is the passage mainly about ?A A sad Christmas dayB Life with a lovely babyC.A special Christmas gift.D.Memories of a happy familyBI came to study in the United States a year ago .Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.After the accident .my roommate called a doctor for me. 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.

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 op inion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”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.29. What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s plaint?A. He told her not to pay any atte ntion to what her“enemy” had said.B.

My FatherD. My ChildhoodDWe often hear people talking about a generation gap (代沟). The name is new, but the idea isold. Young people and their parents don’t understand each other. The world has always kept changing. During the second century after Christ a wise man said, “Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down.”There has always been a gap between generations, but more people talk about it now. Old Mr. Ellis thinks he understands what has happened.“When I was a boy, I thought the world was a beautiful place. My life was very pleasant. But when I was older, I learned about people who were treated badly, people who didn’t have enough to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to meetings and talked a lot, but it didn’t seem to make much difference. ”“Our children grew up in a world at war. They didn’t know when the fighting would stop. They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. They didn’t want to think abou t the future. They thought nothing could be done about it.”“Now I have grandchildren, and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world better. They are trying to help other people. They’re making people listen to them. I am proud of the ir generation.”33.

None of the above.七选五阅读My mother is a diligent and kind woman. She is very busy from morning till night. As a teacher, she works hard. 36 Both my brother and I love her dearly as she loves us.
