Rules for riding motor vehicles on camps.BWhen you think about math, you p robably don’t think about breaking the law, solving mysteries or finding criminals. But a mathematician in Maryland does, and he has come up with mathematical tools to help police find criminals.People who solve crimes look for patterns that might reveal (揭示) the identity of the criminal. It’s long been believed, for example, that c riminals will break the law closer to where they live, simply because it’s easier to get around in their own neighborhood. If police see a pattern of robberies in a certain area, they may look for a suspect who lives near the crime scenes. So, the farther away from the area a crime takes place, the less likely it is that the same criminal did it.But Mike O’Leary, a mathematic ian at Towson University in Maryland, says that this k ind of approach may be too simple. He says that police may get better clues to the location of a criminal’s home base by combining these patterns with a city’s layout (布局) and historical crime records.The records of past crimes contain geographical information and can reveal easy targets —that is, the kind of stores that might be less difficult to rob. Because these stores are along roads, the locations of past crimes contain information about where major streets and intersections are. O’Leary is writing a new computer program that will quickly provide this kind of information for a given city. His program also includes information about the people who live in the city, and information about how a criminal’s patterns change with age. It’s been shown, for e xample, that the younger the criminal, the closer to home the crime.Other computer programmers have worked on similar software, but O’Leary’s uses more math. The mathematician plans to make his computer program available, free of charge, to police departments around the country.The program is just one way to use math to fight crime. O’Leary says that criminology — the study of crime and criminals —contains a lot of good math problems. “I feel like I’m in a gold mine and I’m the only one who knows what go ld looks like,”he says. “It’s a lot of fun.”61. To find criminals, police usually _________.A. check who are on the crime sceneB. seek help from local peopleC. depend on new mathematical toolsD. focus on where crimes take place62. O’Leary is writing a computer program that _________.A. uses math to increase the speed of calculationB. tells the identity of a criminal in a certain areaC. provides the crime records of a given cityD. shows changes in criminals’ patterns63. By “I’m the only one who knows what gold looks like”, O’Leary means that he _________.A. is better at finding gold than othersB. is the only one who uses math to make moneyC. knows best how to use math to help solve crimesD. has more knowledge of gold than other mathematicians64. What do you know about O’Leary according to the passage?A. He is a man full of impractical imagination.B. He is a man full of self-confidence.C. He is a man who is talkative but lazy.D. He is a man who doesn’t like mathematics.65. What is the main idea of the text?A. Math could help police find criminals.B. Criminals live near where crimes occur.C. Crime records could be used to fight crime.D. Computer software works in preventing crimes.CDepression is one of the most common mental health issues among Americans, and children are also affected by it. Childhood depression increases the risk of suicide. It’s important that parents become aware of the signs and symptoms of childhood depression, because children usually can’t express their feelings in a way that adults will understand that they’re depressed. One in every 33 children may be struggling with depression, according to Kids Health.Signs and Symptoms of Clinical Depression in ChildrenDepression in adults and children can look quite different. Sometimes children become impatient instead of sad and throw a tantrum(发脾气) when depressed. They might not necessarily look like the typical crying person that people are used to seeing on television when someone is described as depressed. Here are more symptoms of childhood depression: overwhelming sadness, weight loss or weight gain due to under-eating or over-eating, sleeplessness, low self-esteem(自尊),etc.A child who is depressed may refuse to go to school, have a sudden drop in his grades, and stop playing with his friends after school. Things that used to make him happy seem to no longer interest him.T reatment Options for Children Suffering from DepressionMedication, individual therapy, and family therapy are forms of treatment for children who are depressed. Many times it is recommended that children try different forms of psychotherapy before considering medication. The most commonly appointed medications for children who have a diagnosis of major depressive disorder are antidepressants(抗抑郁药). Some children need a combination of therapy and medication to reduce the symptoms of depression. It depends on each child’s individual symptoms and the severity of the depression. In any form of treatment, parents play an essential part and should be fully involved.It can be scary for a parent to think that his child is depressed; however, it’s important to understand the signs and symptoms of depression, signs of suicidal thoughts, treatment options forchildhood depression and the basic information about antidepressants.66. From the text we can learn that ______.A. depression is the most common mental problem in AmericaB. about 3 percent of children may be suffering from depressionC. when a child struggles with depression, what he needs most is medicineD. signs and symptoms of depression in children are quite similar to those in adults67. According to the text, we know that if a child is depressed, he may _______.A. get angry easilyB. talk with his parents about his problemC. go out with his friends and have a big mealD. have no interest in anything except watching TV68. All the following are signs and symptoms of childhood depression EXCEPT“________”.A. lack of self-respectB. over-eating or under-eatingC. having difficulty in falling asleepD. often crying when watching TV69. From Paragraph 4, we can infer that _______.A. only the severity of depression determines the form of treatmentB. medication is the most useful form of treatment for depressionC. a child suffering from depression should turn to a psychologist firstD. in dealing with depression, parents play the most important role70. What is the passage about?A. Why children will have depression.B. How we should treat depression in childhood.C. What the symptoms and treatment of depression in children are.D. When the best time for parents to treat depression in children is.PART FOUR WRITINGSECTION ADirection: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Direction: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when we are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion?Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut a boy’s hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull.What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats for example. In cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats: more American men followed his example.There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and America, short skirts became fashionable. After World War Two, they dropped to ankle length. Then they got shorter and shorter the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, skirts became longer again. Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion. The popularity of jeans and the “untidy” look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses.At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then we must choose our clothes carefully. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in a law firm wearing jeans and a sweater; and it would be discourteous to visit some distinguished scholar looking as if we were going to the beach or a night club. However, you need never feel depressed if you don’t look like the latest fashion photo. Look around you and you’ll see that no one else does either.I.

They can complement each other and better complete their mission."The native of central China's Henan province started looking toward the skies just after high school, when one of her teachers convinced her to enroll in an aviation school.Joining the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force in 1997, Liu became a veteran pilot after flying safely for 1,680 hours. She was promoted to deputy head of a PLA flight unit before being recruited as a prospective astronaut in May 2010. She is now an Air Force major.Liu has been described by her colleagues as being outgoing, eloquent and well-versed. Since joining the military, she has received accolades for her public speaking, winning first place in a military speech contest in 2010.She has also impressed others as a quick learner. After becoming a prospective astronaut in 2010, she devoted the first year to basic academic and physical training. Before the start of the Shenzhou-9 mission, she had finished all scheduled training courses."Despite starting her training late, she is now on the same page as us, which is beyond our expectations," said Jing Haipeng, commander of the mission.Jing was also impressed by the swiftness and decisiveness Liu has displayed during training sessions, citing the calm manner she displays in dealing with simulated emergencies.However, the difficulty and intensity of her training has not deprived her of life's pleasures. Liu loves reading, particularly novels, essays and history books. She is also a proficient cook."I love children and I love life," said Liu, who lives in Beijing with her husband. "To be with my family is one kind of happiness, but to fly is another kind that people cannot typically experience."81. How many astronauts are there in the Shenzhou-9 manned spacecraft?

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Today's cinema has improved a great deal in presentation. Gone are the golden days when eager crowds were packed on wooden benches in poor buildings, which seemed to be about to 50 in the next minute. Audience were staring, with great interest, at the funny and amusing movements of silent figures on the screen. It was only through the body movements and facial expressions that the characters' feelings could be 51 to the audience .However ,film goers all the same turned ablind eye to the 52 cinema surroundings and seemed crazy about almost all the films. Box office hits were a(n) 53 thing and stories about movie stars took full coverage of the newspaper. They were received with all 54 wordings compared with today's pitiful stars who are all the time alert to such news as divorces or affairs.Nowadays it is quite easy to find a cinema that exceeds the hotel luxury. Cinema are spacious , well-lit places where one can kill time in comfort. Small favours offered by modern cinemas such as the well-printed booklets ,which are 55 available , the mouth-watering snacks on sale and even the gifts are all sending the implied message to the audience that the film to watch will provide the equivalent 56 . Audience, on the other hand, don't always 57 the story. Before a film is released ,the potential spectator is usually exposed to a(n) 58 of advertisements. Film trailers(预告片）are seen everywhere and crew interviews are televised. And in tempting people to enter cinemas ,second to none is 59 .People rely much on friends' advice in choosing films. Once the audience have settled on the chair, the cinema is learning from the theatre . The projectionists（放映员) are to give the audience time to prepare themselves for the film. Talk first degrades to a whisper then 60 altogether. Spotlights are focused on the curtains which are drawn slowly apart, often in the 61 of music, to reveal title of the film. Every detail has been designed so thoughtfully that the spectator will never actually see the 62 screen, which will remind him all too sharply that what he is about to see is nothing but different shadows flashing on the white ,However much the cinema tries to 63 theatre ,it fully succeeds .Nothing can 64 the awe and sense of expectation felt by the audience as the curtain is slowly raised.A.disappearB.collapseC.freezeD.riseA.translatedB.respondedC.inventedD.appliedA.specialB.inferiorC.standardD.looseA.uniqueB.memorableC.painfulD.normalA.positiveB.personalC.flexibleD.heatedA.temporarilyB.carefullyC.readilyD.traditionally A.luxury B.expense C.convinience rmartionA.proveB.buyC.investigateD.conveyA.explosionB.promotionC.shiftD.spreadA.walls of earsB.seeing is believingC.word of mouthD.grave of teeth A.drives out B.wears out C.pays off D.dies awaypanyB.introductionC.benefitD.endA.decoratedB.distinctC.blankD.mechanicalA.imitateB.guideC.exploitD.replaceA.refer topare withC.suffer fromD.persist inSection BDirections: read the following three passages. Each passages is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked with 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 Matterhorn of Switzerland had been climbed hundreds of times since it was first conquered by Edward Whymper in 1865. He, and the many that followed him over the years, had scaled the mountain by the relatively easy southern approach. The vertical(垂直的）northern face presented a much more frightening challenge .Although some climbers had scaled the north wall, theirattempts were made in summer. Experts had predicted that it was unimaginable to make the climb in the winter.Water Bonatti announced that he was going to attempt a winter climb of the near-vertical ice-covered northern face in the February. What was shocking was that he intended to use the more direct route from base to peak without any of the passes made by his pioneers .It seemed a suicidal bid.Covered in a yellow wind-breaker, Bonatti gathered his skills, nerves, strengths and vigor against the north face. Slowly ad carefully ,his strong but cold-stoned fingers searched for hand-holds. One false move and he would plunge straight down thousands of feet to his death.The higher he went, the more the wind increased its force, striking him with icy power, threatening to dash him onto the rocks below. After two tough days, he reached 12,800 feet.At night,he napped in a hammock(吊床）between two stell sticks hammered in the rock face.At first light, he continued ever upward ,without a thought of turning back. The cruel, sub-zero temperature cracked his goggles(护目镜）and he struggled half-blinded.Often his hands which were bleeding, failed to settle on an opening and he had to make attempts with his instinct. His tiring body was in pain but still climbed up towards the peak.At dawn on the fourth day, he was on the edge of complete exhaustion ,but with victory in sight, he prepared himself for the critical trek . Just after three in the afternoon, excited spectators in the helicopters saw Bonatti suddenly appear crawling over the shining tip of the mountain. He had achieved the impossible and won the world acclaim.65.Why was Bonatti's attempt regarded as an impossible task?A. Because no one had climbed the mountain since the last conquest by Whymper.B. Because the mountain presents the biggest challenge in the world.C. Because no one had reached the peak from the north in cold weather.D. Because the Swiss government forbade people to climb the mountain in severe weather.66. How did he manege to climb up?A. He used the wind-breaker to locate holes on the north face and climbed up.B. He made his hands fish for openings and relied on them to climb.C. He took advantage of steel hammer to climb up the mountain.D. He borrowed the force from the ice to help him rise.67.The underlined word trek in the last paragraph is closest in the meaning to _____.A. adequate restB. timely communicationC. difficult journeyD. bad weather condition68.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Bonatti used to scale the mountain by the south approach.B. The negative influence from the wind decreased as he climbed up.C. Bonatti's success was witnessed by people in the air.D. Bonatti managed to climb the mountain in two days.(B)CuttlefishFew animals use camouflage(伪装）as well as the cuttlefish. While otheranimals mix into an environment that already resembles their appearance,cuttlefish can transform its entire body in a matter of seconds to copy thesurroundings. From changing their colors, patterns, and textures to alteringtheir shapes ,these creatures are the ocean's true masters of disguise. Itspurpose? Of course to satisfy its stomach,FrogfishPart frog , part fish in its appearance, the frogfish--a type of anglerfish--isneither the fastest swimmer nor the most fierce. So when it comes to hunting,the frogfish waits for prey(猎物）to come to it. The frogfish disappears amongthe weeds and grass, waving the fin as grass. Once a hungry tiny fish swimsover, thinking it has found food ,the frog fish swallows the unsuspectingvictim in one big gulp.StoatIt's hard not to stare at a stoat dancing and hopping around in an open field.But while it seems like pure entertainment for the unsuspecting prey, the stoatisn't just pulling up a move to show off. The creature is actuallyhypnotizing(催眠) its next meal so that it can attack at the perfect moment.LyrebirdSongbirds are expert at borrowing the songs of other birds. But the lyrebirdtakes it to a whole new level when trying to attract a potential mate. He goesbeyond just copying other birds and repeating the sounds of different animals.More impressively , the lyrebird can also copy sounds like chainsawsbuzzing,car alarms blaring, and even camera shutters clicking.69.The cuttlefish are different from other deceiving animals in that_______A. it means no harm while other intend to hunt by deceiving.B. it changes its features in appearance to match the environment.C. it manages to mix with the environment faster than other animals.D. it uses certain matter to copy the environment if necessary.70.In deceiving, the frogfish and the stoat are using the similar trick that______A. they sometimes disappear and sometimes appear to deceive.B. they both hunt in similar living environments.C. they make certain body movements before hunting.D. they hunt the same creature for food.71.One unique deceiving purpose different from those of other creatures is to______A. become the master of disguise.B. meet the need of the stomach.C. seek food for survival.D. find a possible mating partner.（C）In Britain, the English middle classes had and have no limits: they were and are the recruiting （招募的）ground of talent. Professor Burn used to compared the social and economic structure of Britain to the movie stars:some are higher than others, but all are moving slowly up and there is always room above for the able to improve their positions of responsibility and influence.While it has always been possible to enter the middle class, it is also possible to rise out of them. The moment a man rises into them, influences are at work to civilize and fit him to new purposes-for service to the community as a whole. A new middle-class man who wants social recognition is almost forced to “do good”. Therefore he usually does it with his tongue in the cheek. His children, who were born into middle-class family, “do good” because they think it is the right thing for the society, necessary to the character of a gentleman. In moral sense, they exceed their father who turned middle-class halfway.The British middle class are what they are today, not of property but of character; not of what they want but of what they want to be. The negative elements about “middle class”are always there. But fortunately something else is also there, firmly fighting against the ill forces of the society though with varying success.“What shall we do to be received? The middle classes have cried, and in every generation the reply has come-from above and below-“Learn to behave like gentlemen.”72.The social structure is stable because_____.A.there are no barriers strictly separating the classes.B.economic ability simply decides a person's social class.C.the lower classes quickly learn the standards of the upper classes .D.the higher classes enjoy the force to select people to enter their classes.73. The underlined phrase with his tongue in the chee k is closest in meaning to_____.A. forcefullyB. pretendedlyC. sincerelyD. silently74.The principle to behave like a gentleman has______A. been followed by the upper and lower classesB. been destroyed by the ill forces in society.C. enabled middle class people to climb to higher classes.D. helped the middle class to keep moral.75.Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage？A. Lucky people from lower classes randomly climb into higher classes.B. New middle-class men are forced to learn the history of British civilization.C. New middle-class have made complete success in defeating ill forces in society.Section CDirection：Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76. _________________Two different approaches to alerting the public about the earthquakes are competing for the states’support,with one, CISN,based on a network of government-operated sensors ,and the other,SWS,built around a private company’s equipment. IN a move that mad shed some light for policy makers,the authority has pulled together representatives from both approaches to make recommendations on how to implement an earthquake early warning system. Then again, their distinct views may prove impossible to come to terms.77. _________________The idea behind an earthquake early warning system is to take advantage of the time lag between a quake's initial, relatively mild shockwaves and the later ones that cause all the damage.CISN can detect the first waves a few seconds or more before the severe shaking begins.The challenge ,though,is to determine from the first waves whether it's really an earthquake and not a big truck rolling by,and how intense the shaking may be.78. _________________The March 11 quake in Riverside County gave the CISN team the chance to demonstrate the capabilities of its system,which is still in its formative stages.It alerted local government 30 seconds before a stronger wave of the quake,which measured a moderate 4.7magnitude.By the time the warning went out,however,those waves had already been developing for 12 seconds,extending about 25 miles. That's not necessarily a problem for earthquakes that start in a remote stretch of the high desert .But a delay that long for a quake in busy areas would leave millions of people in the warning-free "blind zone".79_________________SWS has a collection of sensors in the Coachella Valley, not far from where the March 11 quake struck.The company claimed its alerts went out before the more damaging waves had even hit the surface. Its first stations received an alert three to five seconds ahead of the shaking.The company's speed advantage comes from its ability to use two sensors at a single site to calculate a quack's intensity and to make a warning,rather than having ti pool data from sensors at multiple sites. It also says that it can participate in a statewide warning system that would cost far less than what the CISN's backers have advised.80. _________________So what's more to think about SWS proposal ? It's said that the government is trying to get some independent proof of the company's claims about its technology.And there are also some worries from the public about granting the essential function of public alert to a private company.People can only imagine the security matters involved.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully .Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words."In Scotland illness treatment is considered urgent; in Canada, it's considered inevitable. However in America,it is resource-consuming." Though the remarks seem like jokes,real data support the point. Medicare statistics, for example, reveal that we Americans lead the world in the amount of medical services used during the last six months of a person's life.Senior citizens here are big consumers of healthcare ,using ambulances three times as often as seniorselsewhereaaamercial insurance data point to similar patterns in the healthcare of the younger population too, a ground few would argue against.What explains such a phenomenon? There is plenty of blame to go around.Both physicians and patients have referred to a "more is better "approach that adds cost without necessarily leading to better outcomes.In the past, doctors in fee-for -service systems have been suspected of doing too much testing to generate more income. Now new networks track doctors' treating record in the hope to discourage unnecessary testing. Patients, on the other hand ,are worried about denial of services.Doctors can find themselves caught in a bind between anxious and worrying patients and insurance networks that dismiss doctors with inefficient practice patterns.Upset factors,such as malpractice concerns and falling fees ,among which the worsening doctor-patient relationship tops the ranking list-are contributing to the nation's increasing shortage of primary-care doctors.Is there a better way to do this, without limiting a patient's choice or lowering the quality of healthcare?One solution is that we can introduce care organizations, which have the goal of improving both patients' health outcomes and the efficient use of resources. Like an HMO, this new kind of care organization involves networks of doctors, hospitals and patients. By carefully balancing care among doctors computerized medical records to identify the appropriate use of services, it encourages preventive care and measure quality.Given the obvious benefits during its pilot time, we are also encouraged to look at the program called Choosing Wisely .The program is aimed at encouraging both physicians and patients, with the help of professional model ,to carefully consider the wisdom of medical procedures. In most cases ,useless procedures are not only wasting money, but also subjecting patients to additional risk without the potential ti improve their health.(NOTE: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)mercial insurance data are mentioned in the first paragraph to show that ________.82.Patients'________attitude towards medical care caused today's overtreatment.83.What is the leading reason for lack of primary-care doctors?84.What are the two methods to fight the environment problem?第二卷（共45分）I.

Passengers were making a huge number of 1 about the long waits at baggage claim (行李提取处). In response, the airport managers 2 the number of baggage handlers. The plan worked: the average wait fell to eight minutes. But the complaints 3 despite the apparent success.4 , the managers undertook a more careful, on-site analysis. They found that it took passengers a minute to walk from their5 gates to baggage claim and seven more minutes to get their bags. Roughly 88 percent of their time, in other words, was spent standing around6 waiting for their bags.So the airport decided on a new approach: instead of reducing wait time, it 7 the arrival gates farther away from baggage claim area. Passengers now had to 8 six times longer to get their bags. Complaints dropped to near zero.This story shows a general 9 : the experience of waiting is defined only partly by the actual length of the wait. Often the psychology of queuing is more 10 than the length of the wait itself. Occupied time (walking to baggage claim) feels 11 than unoccupied time (standing at baggage claim). Research on 12 has shown that, on average, people overestimate how long they’ve waited in a line by about 36 percent.This is also why one finds mirrors next to lifts. The spread of high-rise buildings after World War II led to complaints about lift 13 . The motive behind the mirrors was 14 to the one used at the Houston airport: give people something to 15 their time, and the wait seems shorter.1.

You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behaviour, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn, but you aren’t very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.If you sleep curled up（卷曲）, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt.If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed. You always say what you think even i f it annoys people.31. According to the writer, you naturally show your secret and real personality ___________.A. only in a normal nightB. only when you go to sleepC. only when you refuse to show yourself to the worldD. only when you change sleeping position32．Which is NOT mentioned in the second paragraph about a person’s personality？A. He or she is always open with others.B. He or she always likes new ideas earlier than others.C. He or she is always easily upset.D. He or she tends to believe in others.33．Point out which sentence is used to show the personality of a person who is used to sleeping on his or her stomach？A. He or she is careful not to offend others.B. He or she doesn’t want to stick to his or her opinion.C. He or she probably can’t be successful in business.D. He or she likes to bring others happiness.34．Maybe you don’t want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up. Why？A. He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you.B. He or she is rarely ready to help you.C. He or she prefers staying at home to going out.D. He or she wouldn’t like to get help from you.35．It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because ___________.A. he or she always shows sympathy for peopleB. he or she is confident，but not stubbornC. he or she has more strengths than weaknessesD. he or she often considers annoying people(C)The US first lady Michelle Obama is among the world’s 100 most powerful women in a list topped by German premier Angela Merkel for four years in a row, according to a Forbes ranking released on 19 August.Michelle Obama debuted at No.40, coming in ahead of Talk Show host Oprah Winfrey at 41 and Britain’s Queen Elizabeth at 42.Sheila Bair, chair of the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, which insures bank deposits, remained No.2 after debuting on the Forbes list last year. She has gained increased fame as the US recession lasts.The list is based on factors such as politics and economic impact ,media reach and career accomplishments.The chief executives of Dupont and Sunoco are new to the top 10, replacing the Xerox Cop. Chair, who dropped to No. 15, and the former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who fell off the list after leaving office in January.Rice’s successor, Hillary Clinton, came in at No.36,dropping from No.28 last year when her presidential bid made her the woman with the highest public profile on the list.Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the US House of Representatives, retained No.35.“Woman in power are rising to leadership positions in business, government and philanthropy(慈善)by making daring and unconventional moves,” Forbes said. “Gone are the days of women feeling they have to stick with one employer and patiently wait for promotions.”“Highly ambitious women are moving across companies and industries, making big leaps with each change, and repositioning themselves for opportunities that allow them to ga in a breadth of experience.” The business magazine said.Merkel, 55, became the first female premier of Germany in 2005 and was successful in retaining power in a federal election on September 27.Michelle Obama, 45, has won the support of fans for her down-to-earth personality, her views of healthy eating and the arts, and her fashion sense that has seen her grace several best-dressed lists.36.

It lies next to a l.5-square-kilometer oasis（绿洲）, from where three days and nights are generally required to go out of the desert. However, before Ken Levin discovered it in 1926, none of the Bissel villagers had ever walked out of the desert. Reportedly, they were not unwilling to leave this barren land. Many had previously tried but failed, always somehow finding themselves back at the oasis after several days of trying to walk out.When interviewed by Ken Levin, an expert at the British Royal College of Sciences, the villagers explained that no matter which direction they walked it always brought them back to the village.Why couldn’t the Bissel villagers walk out of the desert? Levin was very puzzled. He had, by himself, managed to walk north from the village and reach the nearest town in three and a half days. He decided to carry out an experiment to solve the mystery. He and a Bissel villager called Argutel, would walk out of the desert together. They prepared enough water for a half-a-month journey and two camels. But this time Ken Levin didn't bring his compass. Levin would follow Argutel.Ten days later, they had walked for about 500 miles but were still in the desert. On the 11th morning, an oasis came into their view. They were back at Bissel. Levin now understood why the Bissel people couldn’t escape the desert. They had no knowledge of the North Star, which had for centuries provided sailors and other travelers with a point of direction. In the desert, if a person goes forward relying only on their senses, they will not be able to travel in a straight line. Rather they will travel in a very large circle andeventually track back to where they began. Levin explained to Argutel the function of the North Star and said, “As long as you rest in the daytime and walk towards the brightest star at night, you would be able to walk out of the desert.” Argutel did as he was told. Three days later, he came to the edge of the desert.Now in the West Sahara, Bissel has become a bright pearl, where tens of thousands of tourists come every year. Argutel’s bronze statue stands in the center of the town. On its base are the words: __________________________________.41. Villagers in Bissel had never walked beyond the desert because ________.A. they had no method to find their way outB. they were discouraged by their failuresC. they had a fear of the outside worldD. they had no desire to leave the oasis42. Ken Levin asked Argutel to walk to the north in order to ________.A. see how far away Bissel was to the edge of the desertB. prove that people could walk out of the desertC. tell people not to walk in circlesD. show Argutel was a great person43. According to the passage, Ken Levin ________.A. knew Argutel before he came to the villageB. came to Bissel to do experiments on behalf of his collegeC. became the first man to walk out of the desert from Bissel VillageD. taught Bissel villagers knowledge of the North Star when he first arrived44. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. Ken Levin didn’t walk south because it would take more daysB. the use of a compass was necessary to walk out of the desertC. tourism in Bissel has been greatly developed and improvedD. Argutel became the leader of Bissel after his return45. Which of the following can most probably be f ound at the base of Argutel’s statue?A. Two heads are better than one.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. A long journey starts with the first step.D. A new life starts from the fixed direction.第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

作文：One possible version:Helping others is considered a treasured virtue of human kind, which definitely brings us tremendous happiness. Whoever lives in the world depends on others’ help, which is necessary and important.I’ve received a lot of help from other people, which enables me to overcome the difficulties and troubles in my way. I once failed an important exam, as a result of which I almost lost heart. It was the encouragement and comfort of my classmates that cheered me up. Not until then did I realize what help really meant. From then on, I began to do what I can to help others in need, which both benefited me as well as others.As the saying goes “Roses given, fragrance in hand” We should always be ready to give others a hand in return for their help. Only in this way can we truly live in a word of love.1。
