Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The unique features of colleges and universities in the U.S. are hardly shared by their petitors in Europe or Asia. Many foreign students are attracted not only to the academic programs at a particular U.S. collegebut also to the larger munity, which affords the chance for them to absorb the surrounding culture. Clubs, sports teams, student publications and drama societies____40_____colorful and enjoyable American campus life. However, few foreign universities put much emphasis on this. “In people’s minds, the campus and the American university are both admirable,” says Brown University President Vartan Gregorian. “In America people have a strong _____41____ that a student’s daily life is as important as his learning experience.”Foreign students also e in search of ____42_____. America’s menu of options—research universities, state institutions, private liberal-arts schools, munity colleges, religious institutions—is ____43______.No any single European country can offer such variety. “In Europe,” says history professor Jonathan Steinberg, who has taught at both Harvard and Cambridge, “there is only one system, and that is it.” From the beginning, students overseas usually are required to ____44____ professional skills in a specific field, whether law or philosophy or chemistry. Most American universities insist that students have a(n)____45_____on natural and social sciences, languages and literaturebefore choosing a field of concentration.Such ____46_____ philosophies grow out of different traditions and power structures. In Europe and Japan, universities are ____47_____ only to a ministry of education, which sets academic standards and provides money.Centralization(集权化) is likely to ____48____ that all students are equipped with roughly the same resources and perform at roughly the same level. On the other hand, It may also_____49___ the testing of different ideas. “When th ey make mistakes, they make big ones,” says Robert Rosenzweig, president of the Association of American Universities. “They set a system in wrong directions, and it’s like piloting a super ship.”Public image doesn’t make money directly, nor is it anything visible.However, excellent public image is such an important thing that it is 50 desired by every pany, enterprise, institution, etc. Public image refersto how a pany is 51 by its customers, suppliers, and stockholders(股东), by the financial munity, by the munities where it operates, and by federal and local governments. Public image is controllable to 52 extent, just as the product, price, place, and promotional efforts are.A firm’s public image plays a vital role in the 53 of the firmand its products to employees, customers, and to such outsiders as stockholders, suppliers, creditors (贷款方), government officials, aswell as different special groups. With some things it is impossible to ___54_____ all the different publics: for example, a new highly automated plant may meet the ___55______of creditors and stockholders. However, it will 56 find resistance from employees who see their jobs threatened. On the other hand, high quality products and service standards should bring almost plete approval, while low quality products and false claims would be widely looked down upon.A firm’s public image, if it is good, should be 57 . It is a valuable strength that usually is built up over a long and satisfyingrelationship of a firm with publics. If a firm has58 a quality image, this is not easily imitated by petitors. Such an image may enable a firm to charge higher prices, to win the best distributors and dealers, to attract the best employees, to expect the most favorable creditor relationships and lowest borrowing costs. It should also allow the firm’s stock to 59 higher price-earnings ratio (比例) than other firms in the same industry with such a good reputation and public image.III. Reading prehensionSection A (15)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.Apes and human beings share a lot in mon when it es to behavior. The evidence taken from the observation of the behavior of apes and children suggests that there are three causes for the outbreak of fighting and the exhibition of 60 by individuals.One of the most mon causes of fighting among both children and apeswas over the____61____ of external objects. The argument over the ownership of any desired object—food, clothes, toys, females, and the affection of others—was sufficient reason to 62 force. In a case of monkeys’ disagreement over females, thirty females were killed. Two points are of particular interest to notice about these fights for possession.In the first place the fights are often carried to such an extreme that they end in the63___destruction of the objects of mon desire. Toys are torn to pieces and females are killed.In the second place it is observable, that 64 occurs when an object is desired by only one person or by someone else. There were many cases where toys and other objects which had been thrown away as useless were 65 defended by their owners when they became the object of some other child’s desire.Another cause of aggression is the tendency for children and apes greatly to ___66_____ the invading of a stranger into their group. A new child in the class may be laughed at, isolated, and disliked. A new monkeymay be bitten to death. It is interesting to note that anger occurs when a stranger es from the 67 species. Monkeys do not mind being 68 by a goat or a rat. Children do not object when animals are introduced to the group. As a matter of fact, such newers are often ____69____. But when monkeys meet a new monkey or children a strange child, aggression often occurs. This strongly suggests that the reason for the aggression is fundamentally possessiveness. The 70 of the newers is feared. The present members of the group feel that there will be more petitors for the food or the attention of the adults.Finally, another mon source of fighting among children is a frustration or failure in their own ____71____. A child will be stopped either by 72 causes such as bad weather or illness from doing something he wishes to do, for example, sail his boat or ride the bicycle. Sometimes the activity may be 73 because of the opposition of some adult. The child may also frustrate itself by ____74_____, through lack of skill or strength, to plete successfully some desired activity. Such a child will then in the ordinary sense bee “naughty”. He will be in a bad or unfriendly temper.60. A. fulfillment B. excitement C. isolation D. aggressiveness61. A. usage B. possession C. value D. collection62. A. turn to B. drive away C. e over D. make into63. A. moderate B. subtle C. plete D. temporary64. A. conflict B. negotiation C. agreement D. donation65. A. reluctantly B. violently C. unwillingly D. peacefully66. A. ignore B. accept C. prove D. hate67. A. similar B. modest C. strong D. reliable68. A. observed B. protected C. joined D. spoiled69.

A. natural B. physical C. financial D. academic73. A. enhanced B. operated C. extended D. prevented74. A. learning B. failing C. imitating D. refusing Section B (32)Directions:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)My husband and I were once in Nepal (尼泊尔) to see sunrise over the Himalayas.One morning we awoke to total darkness at 5 o’clock. As we rushed through a town with cameras in hand, I noticed the calm, gentle way the Nepalese people greeted the morning. One man boiled a huge pot of milk tea, and other villagers gathered around his fire, cupping their hands around small glasses of the steaming sweet mixture. It was fascinating, but not to be left behind, we joined the stream of tourists moving quickly up to the lookout point.The top was crowded when we arrived, but after 10 minutes of cold waiting, the assembled group gave up. “The cloud cover is too heavy,”one said. Then one by one they rushed down the hill to the next item on their sightseeing list. I was disappointed as well, but suddenly I noticed a small Nepalese boy absently playing with a stick and shooting quick glances at the clouds. He must know something we don’t, I thought. I decided to wait with him.The boy and I didn’t have to wait long. Moments later, a tiny stream of golden light burned through one thick cloud, then another. Rose-colored fog warmed the backs of the clouds, and suddenly the morning sun stole a glance around the side of the mountain, miles above where I’d expected it to be.Nothing I’d seen before prepared me for the moment the clouds withdrew with bowed heads, and the magnificent Himalayas were revealed before, around, and above me. I sat in astonishment, not breathing, not daring to look away, certain that God had placed me here at the backdoor of Earth to show me what Heaven really looks like. I certainly got the message. Never again will I rush a sunrise. I now know Nature will supply her fruits to me only when I am truly ready to receive them.75.What does “It” in Paragraph 2 most probably imply?A. The darkness of the town in the morning.B. The huge pot of milk tea boiling on the fire.C. The way the local people weled the day.D. The stream of tourists rushing to the lookout point.76.The author decided to wait with the Nepalese boy because ______.A. she felt kind of having faith in himB. the restless tourists disappointed herC. that boy was praying to the sun with a magic stickD. she had nothing more to see on her sightseeing list77.Which of the following words best describe the author’s feeling whenshe saw the sunrise?A. Totally shocked.B. Absolutely amazed.C. Truly frightened.D. Extremely interested.78.What can be concluded from the passage?A. Do in Rome as the Romans do.B. God helps those who helpthemselves.C. Time and tide wait for no man.D. Fortune rewards those havingpatience.( B ) bush79.

In the activity “Morning Walk at Mitchell Park”, one may have no chance to ___________.A.appreciate bird watchingB. enjoy mountainclimbingC.take a relaxing walkD. have morning tea(C)Pride and Prejudice for the Modern WomanLet us imagine how Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen’s most famous work, might be updated, 200 years on.Austen’s popularity is rooted in her intelligence. But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Here’s my own suggestion.It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.“My dear husband,” said his hopeful wife one day, “have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young busine sswoman?”Her dull and indifferent husband replied that he had not. “But it is, it is,” she replied excitedly. Mr. Dull-Husband made no reply.“Don’t you want to know her plans?” she cried with some impatience.“Well, clearly you think it matters to your silly little head... so I’d better listen.”“Well, my dear, the rumour is that she has already set up a stringof successful businesses in northern England, though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me. She will move in herself next month.“What is her name?” “Bingley.”“Is she married or single?”“What a question! And none of your business.” But her ing will bea fine thing for our five boys. “How so? How can it possibly affect them?”“My dear love; those lazy boys need something to wake them up. Thereare bound to be jobs going.”“Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simplytaken a fancy to the place.”“Nonsense, my love, how little you’ve noticed the world has changed.She’s got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification,I’m told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give hera call.”“Me? No. Perhaps you can take an interest. You still have your looks,after all. She may even offer you a job.”“Oh, that’s not likely. These n ew chances belong to the youngergeneration. But now you mention it, I think I’ll go along all the same.”And Mrs. Bennet went along. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTSE(英国富时指数)-listed pany.... It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs. Bennet would be one of very few women on the pany board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a more “female” dimension and her lifespan among the city’s business leaders shorter than theirs. Still, she’d no do ubt have enjoyed Davos(达沃斯论坛)—and might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures.83. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Austen was born 200 years ago.B. Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice.C. Austen’s success lies in her wisdom.D. Austen’s updated work gains popularity.84. The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs. Bennet ________.A. had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about BingleyB. felt kind of worried and doubtful about BingleyC. was extremely anxious to meet BingleyD. had a great curiosity about Bingley85. In the eyes of Mrs. Bennet, Bingley surely needed one of their boys to ________.A. get married toB. work for herC. help her move inD. take over her store86. What does the writer intend to tell us?A. Women with brains can also be as successful as men.B. Women have to pay a high price for success.C. A judgment must be made free from prejudice.D. Sex discrimination still exists nowadays.(D)The term culture now is more used to describe everything from the fine arts to the outlook of a business group or a sports team. In its original sense, however, culture includes all identifying aspects of a racial group, nation, or empire: its physical environment, history, and traditions, its social rules and economic structure, and its religious beliefs and arts.The central beliefs and customs of a group are handed down from one generation to another. It is for this reason that most people regardculture as learned rather than innate. People acquire a culture because they are not born with one. The process by which a person develops a taste for regional foods, accented speech, or an outlook on the world over time, therefore, is known as enculturation (文化适应).Cultures are often identified by their symbols — images that are familiar and coated with meaning. Totem poles(图腾柱) carved with animals and creative figures suggest aspects of the Native American peoples of the Pacific Northwest but more literally represent specific tribes (部落). In Asia and India, the color of yellow is connected with temples while in ancient China it was a color only the emperor’s family was allowed to wear. Thus, different cultures may respond to a symbol quite differently. For example, to some a flag may represent pride, historical acplishments, or ideals; to others, however, it can mean danger or oppression.To individuals unfamiliar with cultures outside their own, the beliefs, behaviors, and artistic expression of other groups can seem strange and even threatening. A society that ranks all other cultures against its own standards is considered to be ethnocentric(from the Greek ethnos, meaning“people,” and kentros, meaning “center”). A strongly ethnocentric society assumes also that what is different from its own culture is likely to be inferior and, possibly, wrong or evil.All people are ethnocentric to some degree, and some aspects of ethnocentrism, such as national pride, contribute to a well-functioning society. An appreciation for one’s own culture, however, does not prevent acceptance and respect for another culture. History documents the long-term vigour and success of multicultural groups in which people from numerous and various cultural backgrounds live and work together. Extreme ethnocentrism, in contrast, can lead to racism — the belief that it is race and racial origin that account for variations in human character or ability and that one’s own race is superior to all others.87. What does the word “innate” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. Instinctive.B. Developed.C. Believable.D. Cultivated.88. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Different interpretations of a symbol help to distinguish one culture from another.B. An ethnocentric country opens weling arms to cultures different fromits own.C. Culture consists of some positive features of a racial group, nation or empire.D. People from various cultural backgrounds often reach an agreement on some image.89. What can be inferred from the passage?A. All aspects of ethnocentrism can produce negative effects on a society.B. Racism is unlikely to bring about serious conflicts among different cultures.C. Respect and acceptance of different cultures are a proper cultural attitude.D. Countries with a strong sense of national pride play a superior role in the world.90. Which might be the best title of the passage?A. Culture, the origin of racial superiorityB. Culture, a faithful mirror of historyC. Culture, the vigour of worldD. Culture, a distinctivedevelopment identity of a nationSection C (8)Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.Some of the most popular programmes on British television, all with their regular millions of loyal viewers, are ‘soaps’such as Coronation Street, Eastenders and Emmerdale. (A ‘soap’ is an informal word for a ‘soap opera’, which is a television story, in daily or weekly episodes (连续剧集), about the daily lives of the characters in it.) In every soap there is the inevitable gossip, and there is the essential character who brings misfortune on himself — or herself, the spiteful woman who hates the success of her sister in marrying a man with money and whose childish behavior splits the family.To some degree, of course, the regular episodes provide many people with an adult kind of ic, rather like Dickens’ serialized novels did. At times, the actions and characters in them seem quite realistic; at other times, they go to the other extreme and show actions that look as if they are straight from the pen of the best fiction writers. But perhaps thefall into clearly fictional edy or tragedy is necessary to remind regular viewers that their daily amount of ‘soap’ is no more and no less than a shot of fiction, and that the characters are not real.Certainly life is never dull in a soap. If one of the adolescents buys a motorbike and a young child lives round the corner, you can bet the two will meet in an accident. If two people fall in love and get married, you can be sure that a friend will cast an insult on the character of one of them, enough to break up the marriage. After all, this is not life; this is a soap! Reality makes way for fiction. The viewers who think that they are watching even a reflection of reality only bring disappointment to themselves. But there are still viewers who follow the ings and goings of the characters on screen with unreasoning faith, believing that the events are real when characters are injured or ill, or even die, and send cards or flowers with best wishes, congratulations or sympathies.What many of us find difficult to understand is just why soaps have bee so popular?(Note: Answer the questions or plete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)91. Coronation Street, Eastenders and Emmerdale are popular British soaps which ______.92. What are the two necessary elements of a soap opera?93. The regular viewers need to be reminded that the soap operas are ______.94. What do some TV viewers do when they are mad about the soaps?xx高一摸底考试答案I.

Staying at one level is not being a free man. If we stay at a very high level all the time, that is not practical. A limitless person goes __45__ from one level of thinking to another, according to his circumstances.

Then we can give advice to all kinds of people. If there is someone or something you dislike, you are still __46__, and your ability to give advice is reduced. For anyone, the same. A free person acts like that.You cannot stay with a sick person all the time. You must __47__ a person’s freedom as much as you can. If people really want to die, let them—it is their freedom.

Reading prehension 28%My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat almost at the same time. It was hanging at a secondhand clothing store. While the other coats looked rather depressed, this one looked as if it were holding itself up. The thick, black wool of the chesterfield (长大衣) was soft and unworn. It was beautifully tailored and had an unbelievable price tag of $28. We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John’s eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better, bearing that touch of classic elegance from long ago.John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror with a serious, studied expression that soon changed into a smile. The fit was perfect.John wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a grin.“How did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it!” he said merrily, carefully folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat.Over the next few weeks, a change came over John. Agreement replaced protest, quiet, reasoned discussion replaced argument. He bee more sensible, more polite, more thoughtful, eager to please. “Good dinner, Mom,” he would say every evening. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, “You’re right. I guess I will.”When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers and remarked that I didn’t know what caused the changes, she said laughing. “It must be his coat!” At the library, we ran into a friend who had not seen our children for a long time, “Could this be John?” he asked, looking up to John’s new height, assessing the style of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another.Sometimes, watching John leave for school, I’m reminded of what it felt like to be at his age---a time when it was as easy to try on different approaches to life as it was to try on a coat.67.Why did John’s eyes shine when he saw the coat?A. It was the first time that he had been to a secondhand store.B. It was pleasant for him to share the same taste with mom.C. He fell in love with that coat and wanted to put it on.D. He managed to get his mom to buy him a new coat.68. What does the underlined word “grin” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. A big smile.B. A sad look.C. A jealous remark.D. An anxious thought.69.Which of the following might be the best title?A. A Special Shopping ExperienceB. A Caring MotherC. A Magical CoatD. John’s Taste for Clothing(B)Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is mon for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greeteach other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face munication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselveswhen it es to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that es from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their panies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.70. The passage is mainly about ________.A. munication typesB. the workplace atmosphereC. customs and social mannersD. living conditions and standards71. Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A. They put efficiency in the first place.B. They dislike face-to-face munication.C. They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.72. In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?A. When greeting seniors.B. When meeting the host alone.C. When attending a presentation.D.When dining with business partners.73. In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?A. In Brazil.B. In Singapore.C. In the United Arab Emirate.D. In Switzerland.(C)William Kamkwamba: How I harnessed the windAt age 14, in poverty and famine, a Malawian boy built a windmill to power his family's home. Now at 22, William Kamkwamba, who speaks at TED, here, for the second time, shares in his own words the moving tale of invention that changed his life.Thomas Suarez :A 12-year-old App developerMost 12-year-olds love playing videogames - but Thomas Suarez taught himself how to create them.

All these TED videos aim to ___________.A. analyze the different ways to successB. promote the latest scientific inventionsC. introduce the famous teenage speakersD. encourage passion for science and creativity(D)If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality(虚拟现实) device. Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. "As I looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partner's pants," she said. "That's the picture I remember best."The set-up is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it.To get used to seeing another person's body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of slow synchronised(同步的) movement bees fortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person's body.Using such technology promises to alter people's behaviour afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism-the bias(偏见) that humans have against those who don't look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of people's associations between, for instance, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants' bias scores were lower. The idea is that once you've "put yourself in another's shoes" you're less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has internalised the feeling of being that person.The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. "At the end of body swapping, people feel like holding each other in their arms,"says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project. "It's a really nice way to have this kind of experience. I would really, really remend it to everyone."77.The word "swapping" (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to______.A. buildingB. exchangingC. controllingD. transplanting78.We can infer from the experiment at the Be Another lab that______.A. our feelings are related to our bodily experienceB. we can learn to take control of other people's bodiesC. participants will live more passionately after the experimentD. The Machine to Be Another can help people change their sexes79.In the Implicit Association Test, before the participants used virtual reality glasses to control a dark skinned digital character, ______.A. they fought strongly against racismB. they scored lower on the test for racismC. they changed their behaviour dramaticallyD. they were more biased against those unlike them80.t can be concluded from the passage that______.A. technology helps people realize their dreamsB. our biases could be eliminated through experimentsC. virtual reality helps promote understanding among peopleD. our points of view about others need changing constantlyKEY17-31 ABDAD DABBB BDDDA32-41 ADACB DDACD42-51 BC A AB CD D AD ABC B AC C52-66 ACDAB CABDC CADBA67-69 CAC70-73 CDBD74-75 BDD77-80 BADC实用文档。

People were going about their daily routines, not knowing the disaster that was soon to come. Suddenly, the ground under their feet began to shake. Then people were thrown off their feet and objects flew off shelves. The sound of breaking glass and falling buildings filled the air.Alice, a young girl who was in her house when the earthquake struck, knew she had to act fast. She got her emergency kit, which included food, water, and a first-aid kit, and ran out of the house.The streets were messy. Traffic lights were out, cars were overturned, and people were running in fear. Alice knew she had to get to higher ground. She headed for the nearest hill, joining a group of other people. As they reached the top, the full force of the earthquake hit, but Alice and the others managed to stay on top of the hill.After what seemed like a century, the earthquake finally stopped. Alice looked down at the town she had called home. It was in ruins. Houses were destroyed, roads were cracked open, and a large crack had formed in the middle of the town square.Alice knew she had to help. She joined hands with other survivors and they began the rescue effort. With simple tools and their bare hands, they dug through the stones and bricks to find anyone who might be trapped inside. In the following days, Alice and the other survivorsworked tirelessly to help, providing food, water, and medical aid to those in need. With the help of rescue teams and volunteers from around the country, they slowly but surely began to rebuild their town.Alice’s experience changed her forever.

He had been one almost all his life, loving the little children who rode his bus daily. It made him feel much younger. His record was clean, without one accident, which made him a trustworthy driver.However, Mr. Clark, Peter’s boss, was worried and thought that it was time for him to retire (退休). “You don’t have a choice here, Peter.” he said seriously. “We don’t want to invite any riskto the children.”“But I have a perfect record,” reasoned Peter. “You know, for an elderly man like me, my job is the only thing that keeps me alive. I want to keep my job.”“Would you take responsibility if something bad happened to those children?” Mr. Clark said.Peter thought it over, and very reluctantly, he gave in to Mr. Clark’s request. Peter decided to retire a week later.The day before his last day, Peter was dropping of the kids at his first stop when he looked out of the window and saw a lady who had passed out. He asked the kids not to leave the bus and got down to help the woman.Just when he finished, he heard cries behind him. The children were looking out of the window and shouting. “Fire! Fire! Help!” “How could that have happened?” Peter was shaking in fear. With shaking hands, Peter dialed 911 and rushed to help the children. Covering himself with his jacket, Peter rushed into the burning car and took the children out one by one. Thankfully, the firefighters arrived soon and helped Peter, saving all students.The next day, Peter found the whole school standing in front of his home. When Peter got close to them, Mr. Clark started clapping and everyone joined him. “You are a hero, Peter! You saved the lives of those young children.” he said. “You are the best driver. We hope you can keep the job!”9．What made Mr. Clark worried?A．He couldn’t talk Peter into retiring.B．Taking school bus was unsafe for children.C．Peter was too old to be a school bus driver.D．The school bus driver must be changed actually.10．What does the underlined “reluctantly” mean in Paragraph 5?A．Angrily.B．Unwillingly.C．Doubtfully.D．Cheerfully. 11．Why were the children shouting?A．They were caught in the burning bus.B．They couldn’t find Peter on the bus.C．They were frightened by the woman.D．They didn’t want a new school bus driver.12．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．Putting Out the Fire B．A Dangerous Bus JourneyC．Working After Retirement D．An Old Hero DriverU. S. teens spend more than eight hours a day on screens, and there’s growing concern over how social media may affect their mental health. Now, a new study has found that limiting screen time to about one hour a day helped anxious teens feel better about their body image and their appearance.The study arose from the personal experience of Helen Thai, a doctoral student in psychology at MeGill University. “What I noticed when I was joining in social media was that I couldn’t help but compare (比较) myself,” Thai says. Reading posts (帖子)from famous people and influencers, as well as people in her own social network, led to a lack of self - confidence.So, Thai and a team of researchers decided to test whether cutting time on social media platforms including Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat would improve body image. They gathered a few hundred volunteers, aged 17-25, all of whom had experienced symptoms (症状)of anxiety or depression — which could make them easily influenced by social media. Half of the volunteers were asked to reduce their social media to 60 minutes a day for three weeks. The other half continued to use social media with no limits.The researchers gave the participants surveys at the beginning and end of the study, which included statements such as “I’m pretty happy about the way I look,” and “I am satisfied with my weight.” Among the group that cut social media use, the overall score on appearance improved from 2.95 to 3.15 on a 5 - point scale. The change may seem small, but any change in such a short period of time is worth noticing.“The study is encouraging, but it only included people who had symptoms of anxiety or depression. It’s worth applying this approach to other groups, such as people with eating problems. It’s also possible that the benefits of cutting back could extend more broadly to anyone in this age group,” says Psychologist Andrea Graham, co - director of the Center for Behavioral Intervention at Northwestern University.13．What problem may social media bring to teenagers according to Thai?A．They may become addicted to the Internet.B．They tend to become sensitive to others’ words.C．They may have unrealistic expectations of their image.D．They tend to compare themselves with the images posted online.14．How was the research conducted by Thai and a team of researchers?A．By listing numbers.B．By giving examples.C．By making comparisons.D．By analyzing causes and effects. 15．What did Graham think of the study?A．It was a good try but should include more people.B．It was well designed but wasn’t finished.C．It was a failure but the methods were worth praising.D．It was encouraging but the evidence was not to be trusted.16．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．How to Help Teenagers Limit Screen timeB．Shorter Screen Time, Better Feelings on LookC．How Social Media Changes TeenagersD．Less Anxiety, Better ImageTrainers and parents saw children play sports at a young age and then saw them become professional. Many correlated the training to success. Competitive sports are good for young children because they teach children life skills, provide health benefits, and offer special opportunities.To begin with, sports teach children life skills. A formal athlete stated, “I played soccer in high school and college and found team sports weren’t just about winning, but also about developing a solid ethic(行为准则), and learning why that’s important.” In short, playing highly competitive sports teaches kids many life skills like teamwork. People will have to use teamwork for the rest of their life, and sports can help them improve that skill. Taking part in sports can help develop a positive attitude towards life, which will help in the long run.Sports are also good for kids because they provide health benefits. It is healthier for a kid to play a sport competitively than to waste time playing video games all day. Furthermore, a researchgroup of University of California said, “96 percent of the participants(参与者) said they enjoy their sports. They’re all loving life.” That is to say, kids playing highly competitive sports tend to enjoy life instead of doing something else like watching TV.On the other hand, some people might argue that competitive sports are bad for young children because they are so time-consuming(费时的). However, the time spent is not “robbing(掠夺)” kids of their childhood, but offers unique opportunities. Athletes can get success to live their dream life by playing sports. Even though sports are time-consuming, they offer distinctive opportunities.In conclusion, competitive sports are good for children because they can provide wholesome benefits, create new experiences, and build skills that will last a lifetime.17．Why is the formal athlete mentioned in paragraph 2?A．To show a reason.B．To give an example.C．To create a background.D．To introduce a new point.18．What is the most participants’ attitude to sports?A．Supportive.B．Uncertain.C．Uncaring.D．Doubtful. 19．What’s the author’s opinion on the time that kids spend on sports according to Para. 4?A．It is a waste of time.B．It robs kids of their childhood.C．It brings children many advantages.D．It does harm to the children.20．What does the text mainly talk about?A．The ways to play sports.B．The reasons for playing sports.C．The problems of kids’ playing sports.D．The benefits of kids’ playing sports.二、完形填空I had a girl called Anna in my class and I always considered her to be really foolish.

The stinging memory of Becky's smirks(得意的笑) made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month I woke up early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena. We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted.
As we crossed the line the crowd was shocked into silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds!
I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, I'd alwayscome out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it.

But be careful. If they bite you, you may get a terrible disease——rabies.Believe it or not, in the last five months, rabies killed more people in China than any other disease.2,254 people got rabies in the first nine months of this year. In September, 318 people died of rabies. That is 37 per cent more than last September.Animals like dogs, cats, squirrels and bats can have rabies. If they bite or scratch (抓) someone, rabies could infect (感染) the person’s nervous system (神经系统). The person could even die. It’s important to get the right treatment as soon as possible. Every year, more than 50,000 people around the world die of rabies. Most of them are from developing countries. India has the most deaths. China is second.71.

Pets with rabies(B)Many people go to different countries and live in different places in their lifetime. In different countries, they may meet with different manners. Sometimes they are puzzled by the different manners, and perhaps they may make a joke about those manners. So when we go to a strange country, we should pay attention to something new or dissimilar. For example, most Westerners are not concerned about protocol (礼仪) in social matters. But there are a few table manners the Easterners should try to observe（遵守）at all times.To start with, put the napkin（餐巾）on your lap. It protects your clothes from food or is used to wipe your hands or mouth when necessary.Hold the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left hand, and cut the meat or fish into pieces as you eat. Always use your fork to put food into your mouth. Use your spoon only for soup or other liquids.Do not put your own utensils (fork , knife, spoon )into the serving bowl （公用碗）. Use the utensil in the bowl to put some of the food on your own plate, and then return the serving utensil to the bowl.Do not spit food anywhere. If you have bones in your mouth, take them out with your fingers and place them on the edge of your plate, never on the table or floor.Do not reach across the table or in front of another person. Ask someone to pass whatever you want.Do not sneeze, cough or blow your nose anywhere except into a handkerchief（手帕）or Kleenex（纸巾）. Then you throw it into a waste paper basket or garbage can （垃圾桶）. If you cough, try to cover your mouth with you hand.76. The Easterners usually pay little attention to in social matters .A. table mannersB. how to walkC. how to use a serving bowlD. how to use a utensil77. Put the napkin on your lap. Here the word “lap” means .A. a race trackB. the front part of a seated person between the waist and the kneesC. a suit of clothesD. handkerchief78. Hold the knife in your hand and the fork in your hand .A. right, rightB. left , leftC. left , rightD. right, left79. Use utensil in the serving bowl to put some of the food on your own plate.A. your ownB. a servingC. others’D. your hand80. Don’t at table.A. talk with othersB. sing songsC. laugh at othersD. sneeze, cough, spit food or blow your nose(C)A small man with a fat stomach got on the train at the last station before the frontier (边境). He carried a paper bag. And four duck feet could be seen under the cover. The man found an empty seat, put the bag in the middle of the floor, took out a newspaper and began to read. Then a policeman came in. Of course he saw the bag with ducks’legs at once and said, “Whose is that bag?”Nobody answered. The policeman repeated the question, and said, “I’ll have to take it away from the owner. Food mustn’t be taken out of the country.”“Well, then,” said the small man with a fat stomach. “Hurry up and take it. We want to go home.” The policeman took the bag and went on to the next carriage.At the next station, when they were safely across the frontier, the small man got up, smiled at the other passengers and said, “I hope they’ll enjoy the ducks’ feet. The rest of the bag had nothing but rubbish in it.” Then he opened his coat and pointed to another bag he was carrying under it. It was tied tightly (紧紧地) over the stomach, which was not really fat. “I have the rest of the two ducks here,” he said. With these words, he got off the train. But while he was happily walking to the exit（出口）with the bag in his hands, a policeman came up to him, saying, “Hey, man! Foreign food mustn’t be brought in.”81. The small man put the bag in the middle of the floor ___ .A. so that he could make more room for himselfB. so that the policeman could find it easilyC. because the other passengers didn’t like itD. because there was not an empty seat in the carriage82. The first policeman took the paper bag away because ___ .A. he wanted to find the owner of the bagB. he enjoyed the duck’s feet in the bagC. the bag was put in a wrong place in the carriageD. food can’t be taken abroad83.

The library, which was built in 1920, is a grand structure with tall windows and a cozy reading room. However, with the rise of digital technology and the internet, the lib rary’s role in the community has evolved.The Willow Bay Library has recently launched a new initiative aimed at bridging the digital divide and engaging the younger generation. The library has introduced a series of workshops and programs that focus on digital literacy and technology skills. One of the most popular programs is the “Tech Tutors” program, where high school students are paired with elementary school students to teach them basic computer skills and internet safety.The library also hosts regular book clubs, reading challenges, and author events to encourage reading and literary discussions among the townspeople.

However, the truth is far from this. Each small act of kindness or responsible behavior can make a difference, not only in our own lives but also in the lives of others and even the environment.Consider recycling. When one person recycles their waste, it might seem insignificant, but when multiplied by thousands or millions, the collective effect is substantial. Recycling conserves natural resources, reduces landfill use, and decreases pollution. Similarly, a simple act like smiling at someone can brighten their day and encourage them to smile at others too, creating a ripple effect of positivity.Small acts of generosity, such as donating to charity, helping an elderly neighbor with groceries, or volunteering time for a local clean-up, also contribute positively to society. These actions strengthen community bonds and foster a sense of unity and mutual support.Moreover, small actions taken collectively can lead to significant changes in policies and social norms. Grassroots movements often start with individuals making small choices every day, which eventually grow into a powerful force for change. In essence, while it may seem that the problems facing us are too bigto tackle, we should remember that every journey begins with a single step, and every great change starts with a small action.Questions:1.According to the passage, what is the misconception people often have about their individual actions? two environmental benefits of recycling mentioned in the text.3.How can a simple act like smiling at someone create a positive impact according to the author?4.What types of small acts of generosity are listed in the passage?5.What does the passage suggest about the power of grassroots movements?Answers:1.People often feel that their individual actions have little impact on the grand scheme of things.2.Recycling conserves natural resources and reduces pollution.3.A smile ca n brighten someone’s day and encourage them to smile at others, creating a ripple effect of positivity.4.Donating to charity, helping neighbors, and volunteering for local clean-ups.5.The passage suggests that small actions taken collectively can lead to significant changes in policies and social norms, implying that grassroots movements can become a powerful force for change starting from individual daily choices.这就是阅读理解部分的一个样例题目。

I got a taste of that dream in 2011,when my husband arranged for me me ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time ,I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirementcommunity（社区）announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it.One june 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reachen 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just floated downward fo zhout five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air ballon. I was just enjoying it.Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.66.What happened to the auther in 2001?A.She flew an airplaneB.She entered a competitionC.She went on a hot air balloon rideD.She moved into a retirement community67.The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to.A.build up her own reputationB.show her admiration for himpare their health conditonD.make her argument persuasive68.How did the authou feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?A.ExcitedB.ScaredC.NervousD.

Arthur Conan Doyle, the writer and creator of Holmes, met Dr. Bell in 1877 at the University of Edinburgh Medical School. Conan Doyle was studying to be a doctor and Bell was one of his professor.Bell was 39 years old when Conan Doyle first attended one of his lectures. He is said to have walked with great energy. His nose and chin were angular and his eyes twinkled with intelligent humor. Bell, who was a brilliant doctor, liked writing poetry, playing sport and bird-watching.By the end of Conan Doyle’s second year, Bell had selected him to serve as his assistant. Being on award with Bell, where he had plenty of opportunity to observe, only increased Conan Dovle’s admiration for the great doctor. Amongst other things he was able to witness Dr. Bell’s remarkable ability to quickly deduce (推断) a great deal about the patient.Dr. Bell observed the way a person moved. The walk of a sailor, who had spent many years at sea, varied greatly from that of a soldier. If he identified a personas a sailor, he would look for any tattoos (纹身) that might assist him in knowing where their travels had taken them. He trained himself to listen differences in his patients accents to help him identify where they were from. Bell studied the hands of his patients because calluses (老茧) or other marks could help him determine their occupation.Conan Doyle published the first Ho lanes story in 1887. His innovation in creating a character that would appear over and over in a series of self-contained stories meant that Holmes s popularity grew with each book. Perhaps the most famous was The Hound of the Baskervilies, which has been made into several films. Soon the character was so beloved that people refused to believe he wasn’t a real person: letters addressed to “Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective” arrived daily at Baker Street and Scotland Yard, each begging him take on a real case.73.What can be learned about Dr Joseph Bell from the passage?A.He used to be a famous detectiveB.He first created Sherlock HolmesC.He took interest in a variety of thingsD.He looked serious and unapproachable74.In Paragraph 4, the author talks mainly about ________.A.how Dr Joseph Bell got to be liked by patientsB.what kind of patients Dr Joseph Bell was good at treatingC.what contribution Dr Joseph Bell did to Conan Doyle’s bookD.how Dr Joseph Bell got clues about patients through observation75.Why did the author mention letter addressed to Sherlock Holmes in the last paragraph?A.To illustrate how popular Sherlock Holmes wasB.To tell readers where Sherlock Holmes actually lived.C.To show why readers refused to believe in Conan DoyleD.To present away Sherlock Holmes drew people’s attention76.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.Dr Joseph Bell: the man who w role Sherlock HolmesB.How Conan Doyle created Sherlock Holmes?C.Sherlock Holmes: the man who lives foreverD.Was Sherlock Holmes a real person?(D)If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the effects are greater, the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language.” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and math skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible” he said, “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.77.The main subject of this passage is ________.A.the strategy for learning a second languageB.men’s ability to learn a second languageC.how language leaning helps brainpowerD.the relationship between language learning and math study78.In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ________.A.suggest that language learning involves physical labor.B.prove that one needs more practice when he(she) is learning a languageC.show that language learning is a process of accumulationD.make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well79.We may learn from the scientific findings that ________.A.the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is.B.there is no difference between a later second language learner and one knowing no second language.C.the experience of learning a second language has an unknown effect on people’s brainD.the ability to learn a second language is changing all the time80.In the last two paragraphs, the author tries to tell us that ________.A.learning a second language is the same as studying mathsB.early learning of a second language helps in studying other subjectsC.Italian is the best choice for you as a second languageD.you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language第Ⅱ卷Translation (7’+18’)I.DictationDirections: Translate the following phrases into English according to the Chinese.

Covering approximately 6% of the Earth’s land surface, rainforests are found in tropical regions around the world. Despite their small size, they play a crucial role in maintaining global biodiversity and climate balance.One of the most fascinating aspects of the rainforest is its incredible biodiversity. In fact, it is estimated that rainforests are home to about 50% of the world’s known species. This hi gh level of diversity is due to a combination of factors, including the warm and moist climate, abundant rainfall, and the complex layers of the forest canopy. The forest floor, known as the understory, is home to small plants, insects, and fungi. The canopy, the layer above the understory, is where most of the life in the rainforest is concentrated. This layer is home to a variety of trees, vines, and lianas, as well as many animal species, such as monkeys, sloths, and parrots.Rainforests also play a cruc ial role in regulating the Earth’s climate. They absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which helps to mitigate the effects of global warming. Additionally, rainforests are known for their unique weather patterns, which include heavy rainfall and high humidity. These conditions are essential for the survival of the plants and animals that call the rainforest home.However, rainforests are under threat from human activities such as deforestation, habitat destruction, and climate change. The loss of rainforests can have devastating consequences for both the environment and human society.1、What is the primary role of rainforests in the Earth’s ecosystem?A. Providing food and shelter for animalsB. Regulating the Earth’s climateC. Producing oxygenD. Protecting water sources2、Which of the following is NOT a factor contributing to the high biodiversity of rainforests?A. Warm and moist climateB. Abundant rainfallC. Flat landscapeD. Complex layers of the forest canopy3、What is the main function of the forest canopy?A. Absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphereB. Providing food and shelter for animalsC. Regulating the Earth’s climateD. Protecting the forest floor4、What are the consequences of rainforest loss for both the environment and human society?A. Increased biodiversityB. Decreased global warmingC. Devastating for both the environment and human societyD. Improved weather patternsSecond Question: Reading Section IPassage:In the heart of London stands a clock tower, known around the world as “Big Ben,” though this name actually refers to the great bell inside rather than the entire tower. Officially, the tower is part of the Palace of Westminster and was completed in the 19th century after a fire destroyed much of the original building. It has become an iconic symbol of both London and the United Kingdom.The clock itself is a masterpiece of engineering, with its four faces allowing anyone in the vicinity to tell the time no matter where they stand. Each face consists of 312 pieces of opal glass, giving it a distinctive appearance that shines even more vibrantly under the night lights. The mechanism of Big Ben is equally impressive; the weight-driven pendulum clock is accurate to within two seconds per day and has rarely faltered since its first strike on May 31, 1859.Every hour, the clock chimes, and the sound can be heard for miles around. This regular chiming has been a comfort to Londoners for generations and a wonder to tourists from all corners of the globe. Despite its age, Big Ben continues to keep excellent time, a testament to the skill of its creators and the dedication of those who maintain it.Questions:1、What does the name “Big Ben” refer to specifically?Answer: The great bell inside the clock tower.2、What material is used for the clock’s faces?Answer: Opal glass.3、When did Big Ben first chime?Answer: May 31, 1859.4、Why is Big Ben considered a marvel of engineering?Answer: Because it is accurate to within two seconds per day and has rarely faltered since its operation began, showcasing the skill of its creators and the dedication of its maintainers.For your reference, here are the answers formatted as requested:1、The great bell inside the clock tower.2、Opal glass.3、May 31, 1859.4、Because it is accurate to within two seconds per day and has rarely faltered since its operation began, showcasing the skill of its creators and the dedication of its maintainers.第三题Passage:In the small town of Greenfield, there was a quaint old bookstore owned by Mr. Thompson.

Not only does it allow individuals to communicate with a broader range of people, but research has shown that being bilingual can also have a positive impact on cognitive development. Studies suggest that bilingual children often perform better in tasks requiring problem-solving skills and attention control compared to their monolingual peers.One reason for this is believe d to be the brain’s increased capacity to handle multiple sets of linguistic rules, which enhances its ability to filter out irrelevant information and focus on the task at hand. This mental flexibility can translate into improved academic performance across various subjects, not just language arts. Moreover, being bilingual can delay the onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, according to recent studies, providing neuroprotective benefits that last well into adulthood.However, acquiring a second language is not without its challenges. Early exposure and consistent practice are crucial for developing fluency. For those who begin learning a new language later in life, it may require more effort and dedication to achieve the same level of proficiency. Nevertheless, the benefits of bilingualism are clear and extend far beyond the mere ability to converse in multiple tongues.1、According to the passage, what is one advantage of being bilingual?A. It guarantees higher income.B. It improves problem-solving skills.C. It ensures better physical health.D. It prevents any form of dementia.Answer: B. It improves problem-solving skills.2、What does the passage imply about the brain’s function in bilingual individuals?A. It suggests that bilingual brains are less efficient at filteringinformation.B. It indicates that bilingual individuals have a reduced capacity for learning new languages.C. It implies that bilingualism can enhance the brain’s ability to manage multiple sets of linguistic rules.D. It states that bilingual brains cannot focus on tasks as well as monolingual brains.Answer: C. It implies that bilingualism can enhance the brain’s ability to manage multiple sets of linguistic rules.3、What challenge in acquiring a second language is mentioned in the text?A. The need for early exposure and consistent practice.B. The impossibility of achieving fluency if starting late.C. The lack of available resources for learning new languages.D. The complete absence of benefits for adult learners.Answer: A. The need for early exposure and consistent practice.4、Which statement best reflects the overall message of the passage?A. Bilingualism is only beneficial for communication purposes.B. Learning a second language is too difficult to be worthwhile.C. The advantages of bilingualism include cognitive benefits that persist throughout life.D. Being bilingual has no impact on academic performance.Answer: C. The advantages of bilingualism include cognitive benefits thatpersist throughout life.四、阅读第二节（12.5分）Reading SectionPassage:In the world of sports, there is a special place for the marathon. It is a long-distance running race that has been around for over a century. The first modern marathon was held in Athens, Greece, in 1896, as part of the first modern Olympic Games. The marathon is known for its grueling nature, as runners must cover 42.195 kilometers (26.219 miles) in one continuous race.The marathon has become a symbol of perseverance and dedication.

It is one of the oldest annual marathons in the world and has been held every year since 1897, with the exception of 1918 and 1942 when it was canceled due to World War I and World War II, respectively.The marathon has also become a popular charity event. Many people run marathons to raise money for various causes, from cancer research to helping the homeless.

Choose the best option for each blank.The digital age has brought about significant changes in the way we communicate. One of the most remarkable transformations is the rise of social media platforms. These platforms have revolutionized the way people interact, share information, and express themselves. However, along with these benefits, there are also several challenges that come with the territory.Social media has made it easier than ever to connect with friends and family. People can now share updates, photos, and videos in real time, no matter where they are in the world. This has been particularly beneficial for those who have moved away or are serving in the military. On the other hand, it has also led to an increased sense of isolation for some individuals. The constant exposure to perfect lives on social media can make people feel inadequate and disconnected from reality.Another challenge of social media is the spread of misinformation. With so much information available, it can be difficult to distinguish between fact and fiction. This has led to increased polarization in society and can have serious consequences for public discourse. Moreover, the anonymity provided by social media can embolden individuals to engage in cyberbullying and other harmful behaviors.Despite these challenges, social media has become an integral part of our lives. Many argue that it has the potential to bring about positive change if used responsibly. Here are some tips for making the most of social media:1.Stay informed: It’s important to be critical of the information you come across and to verify the sources before accepting them as fact.2.Set boundaries: Determine how much time you spend on social media and whom you follow to ensure a healthy balance.3.Be mindful of your online behavior: Remember that what you post can have lasting consequences, both for yourself and for others.e social media for good: Share positive content and support causes thatmatter to you.Now, read the passage again and complete the following sentence by choosing the best option for each blank.1.The rise of social media platforms has__________the way people interact with each other.a)simplifiedb)complicatedc)delayedd)halted2.Some individuals feel__________because of the constant exposure to perfect lives on social media.a)enlightenedb)inadequatec)gratefuld)indifferent3.The spread of misinformation on social media has__________society.a)enrichedb)dividedc)strengthenedd)preserved4.It’s important to__________the information you come across on social media.a)ignoreb)verifyc)shared)delete5.Many argue that social media has the potential to__________if used responsibly.a)worsenb)improvec)disruptd)destroyAnswer Key:1.b) complicated2.b) inadequate3.b) divided4.b) verify5.b) improve六、语言运用第二节 _ 语法填空（15分）Grammar CompletionText:Many people believe that reading books is more beneficial than watching movies.

Sometimes they are puzzled by the different manners, and perhaps they may make a joke about those manners. So when we go to a strange country, we should pay attention to something new or dissimilar. For example, most Westerners are not concerned about protocol (礼仪) in social matters. But there are a few table manners the Easterners should try to observe（遵守）at all times.To start with, put the napkin（餐巾）on your lap. It protects your clothes from food or is used to wipe your hands or mouth when necessary.Hold the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left hand, and cut the meat or fish into pieces as you eat. Always use your fork to put food into your mouth. Use your spoon only for soup or other liquids.Do not put your own utensils (fork , knife, spoon )into the serving bowl （公用碗）. Use the utensil in the bowl to put some of the food on your own plate, and then return the serving utensil to the bowl.Do not spit food anywhere. If you have bones in your mouth, take them out with your fingers and place them on the edge of your plate, never on the table or floor.Do not reach across the table or in front of another person. Ask someone to pass whatever you want.Do not sneeze, cough or blow your nose anywhere except into a handkerchief（手帕）or Kleenex（纸巾）. Then you throw it into a waste paper basket or garbage can （垃圾桶）. If you cough, try to cover your mouth with you hand.76.

He carried a paper bag. And four duck feet could be seen under the cover. The man found an empty seat, put the bag in the middle of the floor, took out a newspaper and began to read. Then a policeman came in. Of course he saw the bag with ducks’legs at once and said, “Whose is that bag?”Nobody answered. The policeman repeated the question, and said, “I’ll have to take it away from the owner. Food mustn’t be taken out of the country.”“Well, then,” said the small man with a fat stomach. “Hurry up and take it. We want to go home.” The policeman took the bag and went on to the next carriage.At the next station, when they were safely across the frontier, the small man got up, smiled at the other passengers and said, “I hope they’ll enjoy the ducks’ feet.

It was tied tightly (紧紧地) over the stomach, which was not really fat. “I have the rest of the two ducks here,” he said. With these words, he got off the train.
