Steven Lipshultz, M.D., lead author of the study, is calling for a warning on all energy drink cans and bottles, warning parents of the risk of allowing children to drink them.Researchers say it is difficult to know exactly how much caffeine is contained in each can or bottle of energy drinks, since they are often 44 as dietary supplements (补充物), which allow the manufacturers to avoid FDA regulations.Energy drink manufacturers have compared the amount of caffeine in their products to that in hot drinks sold in coffee houses, but their products are often packaged in very large sizes and they are not sold in 45 environments like coffee houses, which typically would not serve young children. Energy drinks are widely available in 46 stores next to traditional soft drinks, typically packaged in very similar cans and using similar marketing techniques.Some energy drinks in many of the popular lines can contain up to 400 mg of caffeine per can. In comparison, a cup of coffee typically has around 100 mg of caffeine. Caffeine poisoning can occur in adults at levels higher than 400 mg a day; however, children under 12 can 47 caffeine poisoning at only 2.5 mg per 2.2 pounds of body weight.A study published in September 48 up the new findings, revealing energy drinks may cause serious heart problems. French researchers revealed the popular energy drinks may be linked to 49 risk of irregular heartbeats and even sudden death.The FDA is 50 investigating health concerns surrounding the drinks after numerous negative event reports have been made in recent years connecting energy drinks to severe injuries and deaths.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It’s a high-risky, multibillion-dollar industry with tight deadlines, demanding customers and lives in danger.The business is 51 . And it’s booming.The number of jobs for translators and interpreters doubled in the past 10 years while their wages steadily 52 before, during and after the recession. During a period of stagnating (停滞的) wages across the labor market, the language-service industry with its 50,000 jobs is a 53 spot in the jobs outlook.Lillian Clementi is a French translator working in corporate communications from her home in Arlington, Massachusetts and is routinely on tight deadlines to hand in translated material. “The risks can be huge,” said Clementi, “There’s tons of 54 pressure.”高三英语共10页第4页In some cases, a(n) 55 translation or interpretation is also vital. If a user’s guide for medical equipment is not translated well, it could lead to 56 during an emergency. Soldiers in conflict areas require excellent interpreters to speak with community members. Any change of tone or context could put lives 57 .Translators’ and interpreters’ immunity (免疫力) to the nation’s economic downturn also 58 the growing demand for people who can speak several languages in an increasingly globalized economy, experts said.“Good translators who 59 a particular subject and become really good at it can really make six-digit figures annually,” said Jiri Stejskal, spokesman for the American Translators Association.Multinational corporations, U.S. demographic (人口的) changes and the Internet economy raise the need for translated and localized information. Companies increasingly want their content 60 to the tongue of the town, even between dialects of the same language.“As more people 61 the worldwide economy, that’s going to drive more commerce, and that’s going to drive more language services,” said Bill Rivers, executive director of the National Council for Language and International Studies in the Washington region.62 , qualifications for translators and interpreters are not as simple as they may seem. Speaking two languages does not mean a person can work in the language-service industry, experts said.

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）Warner Brothers has announced more Harry Potter movies are on the way. The studio is working with Potter author J. K. Rowling to create a new franchise (特需经营权) of movies based on “Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them”, which is a fictitious textbook in the Harry Potter world. The story will also follow the adventures of the book’s author, Newt Scamander. Rowling, for the first time, will pen the screenplay.It comes as no surprise that Warner Brothers is trying to keep the Harry Potter franchise going. The films alone have earned $7.7 billion at the box office. The franchise has probably almost doubled those earnings on home video and TV sales. Then there’s the many Harry Potter products that fans still snatch up.But at some point, Harry Potter could seem old hat and that’s not something Warner Bro thers wants to see happen. So executives had three choices: restart the franchise, come up with continuations or spin off part of the Potter world into a new movie.Without books to support the new stories, the upcoming movies could be a tougher sell for Warner Brother s. Harry and friends won’t appear at all in the new movies which will be set in New York 70 years before Harry Potter heads to Hogwarts.The new stories will also net video games, products and enhance Rowling’s website.Here’s Rowling on the upcomin g franchise:It all started when Warner Brother s came to me with the suggestion of turning “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” into a film. I thought it was a fun idea, but the idea of seeing Newt Scamander, the supposed author of “Fantastic Beasts”, realized by another writer was difficult. Having lived for so long in my fictional universe, I feel very protective of it and I already knew a lot about Newt. As Harry Potter fans will know, I liked him so much that I even married his grandson, Rolf, to one of my favourite characters from the Harry Potter series, Luna Lovegood.As I considered Warners’ proposal, an idea took shape that I couldn’t get rid of. That is how I could express my own idea for a film to Warner Brothers.Although it will be set in the worldwide community of wizards (巫师) where I was so happy for seventeen years, it is neither a previous work nor a continuation to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world. The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read t he Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt’s story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry gets underway.高三英语共10页第6页66. The phrase “snatch up” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_____”.A. rush to purchaseB. give up reluctantlyC. make profits fromD. take away by force67. What made Rowling accept Warner Brothers’ proposal?A. Her eagerness to try writing for the screenplay.B. Her unwillingness to see others write the story.C. The attraction of earning more at the box office.D. The film company’s promise to enhance her website.68. It is implied in the passage that creating and selling the new movies may be _____.A. inspiringB. embarrassingC. disappointingD. challenging69. What is the passage mainly about?A. Warner Brothers’ expanded partnership with Harry Potter author.B. Warner Brothers’ success and development in Harry Potter series.C. Rowling’s view on the upcoming franchise of Harry Potter movies.D. Rowling’s creative ideas for the cooperation with Warner Brothers.高三英语共10页第7页（B）Health & Fitness MembershipsThe Brio Health & Fitness Membership packages offer great value for money withno joining fee, no contract, flexibility and choice --- making your health and fitness 12 months for the price of 10P ay annually and you'll get 12 months for the price of 10.

If you’re satisfied with your social life, according to psychologists, you tend to be satisfied with life in general.From the point of my 50s, I’d say that sounds about right. Some of my happiest moments are the ones I spend with my husband, a few close relatives, and a handful of very good friends who know me well and like me anyway. But the more I read about how social media are interfering with (干扰) good old-fashioned friendship, creating virtual bonds that can’t quite take the place of real ones, the more I wonder just how today’s 20-somethings will look back on their own lives when they’re my age.After all, much crucial relationship building work is done in the 20s. According to research by the late Bernice Neugarten of the University of Chicago, who helped launch the academic study of human development, people choose most of their adult relationships, both friends and lovers, between the ages of 22 and 28. The friends we make in our 20s are not only best friends forever; they’re also our first truly chosen friends. And choosing how to commit to these friendships is an essential psychological task of the 20s.But with so much of friendship in this age group now being developed online, an essential question is what the effect of that interaction is. A study, conducted in 2010 by Craig Watkins and Erin Lee of the University of Texas at Austin, investigated the Facebook habits of 776 young people bet ween the ages of 18 and 35. “Whether it is a wall post, a comment, or a photo,” they wrote, “young people’s engagement with Facebook is driven, primarily, by a desire to stay connected to and involved in the lives of friends who live close by, far away, or have just entered into their lives.”This kind of constant contact can be efficient, but it can also be upsetting. For one thing, it adds a new layer of concern to a young person’s already-heightened awareness of social ranking, giving appearance-conscious young people yet another thing to worry about. “I see other 20-somethings feeling pressured to constantly keep up a public image, especially a public image online,” wrote Ariana Allensworth on the group blog. “Folks are always keeping the world informed one way or another高三英语共10页第9页about what they’re up to, where they’re at, what projects they’re working on.It can be a bit much at times.” Not the most fertile ground for real-world friendship.74. According to the passage, the 20s is an age for people to _____.A. have a good public imageB. keep themselves informedC. look back on their own livesD. develop critical relationships75. Which of the following is a disadvantage of making friends online?A. It makes people pay less attention to social ranking.B. It robs people of the happy moments spent with friends.C. It keeps people away from their family and close relatives.D. It prevents people from keeping in contact with their friends.76. What was the aim of the study conducted by Craig Watkins and Erin Lee?A. To know about the 776 young people’s Facebook habits.B. To find out how social media affect real-world social life.C. To help young people stay connected to the lives of friends.D. To investigate what kind of people prefer online interactions.77. The author may agree that _____.A. old-fashioned friendship can help create virtual bondsB. there’s no need for young people to make online friendsC. real-world friendship is a better choice for young peopleD. online friendship is an inevitable trend in the modern worldSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Students in Finland won’t have to study subjects. Soon, th eir classrooms would resemble conferences where “topics” are discussed.The education system in Finland is about to undergo a revolutionary and fundamental change, although it enjoys the reputation of being one of the best in the world. The education department has decided to abandon the old method of “teaching by subject.” Instead, the country will now involve the children to help them learn and question by evolving to “teaching by topic”, shared Liisa Pohjolainen, who is in charge of youth and adult education in Helsinki – the capital city leading the reform program, “This is going to be a big change in education in Finland that we’re just beginning.”The education system, though appearing to be revolutionary, is quite logical, explained Pasi Silander, the city’s development manager, “What we need now is a different kind of education to prepare people for working life. Young people use quite advanced computers. In the past the banks had lots of bank clerks adding up figures but now that has totally changed. We therefore have to make the changes in education that are necessary for industry and modern society.”How does Finland plan to apply the method of teaching by topic? Evidently all-round vocational training and accumulated skill development take up priority over “lessons.” Those in their late teens are already being engaged in what Finland refers to as “phenomenon teaching” – or teaching by topic. For高三英语共10页第10页example, “cafeteria services” lessons will include elements of finance, languages (to help serve foreign customers), writing skills and communication skills.Students will slowly be taught cross-subject topics which would have varying elements of multiple “subjects.” These elements will vary with the “topic” or “skill” the student is learning. Apart from the same, students will move away from the traditional sitting and evaluation techniques as well. Students will sit in smaller groups and work collectively to solve problems, all the while improving upon their communication skills. They won’t be made to sit i n rows and asked questions individually to assess their progress. Instead, a group whose collaborative efforts bring out results faster will be promoted.The education system needs a thorough reform, owing to the fact that traditional teaching techniques were based on traditional tools that were quite limited in availability and accessibility. With modern world being extensively connected, isn’t it time for the students to learn how to step ahead of mere fact-based learning that promotes memory expansion rather than mental development?(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. Finland is launching its education reform by _________.79. What’s the purpose of Finland’s education reform?80. What are two of the main features of “teaching by topic”?81. Finland decides to reform its education because traditional teaching _________.第Ⅱ卷（共47分）I.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Surprising new research suggests it can actually be good to feel bad at work, and that feeling good in the workplace can lead to negative outcomes.The study of emotions in the workplace, edited by University of Liverpool researchers Drs. Dirk Lindebaum and Peter Jordan, is the 51 of a Special Issue of the journal Human Relations.They found that the 52 held assumption that positivity in the workplace produces positive outcomes, while negative emotions lead to negative outcomes, may be in need for 53 . This is partly due to this assumption 54 to take into account the differences in work contexts which effect outcomes.For instance, anger does not always lead to negative outcomes and can be used as a force for good through acting upon injustices. In some 55 , anger can be considered a force for good if motivated by perceived violations(违背)of moral standards. An employee, for example, could express anger constructively after a manager has treated a fellow worker 56 . In such cases, anger can be useful to 57 these acts of injustice from repeating themselves in the future.Likewise, being too positive in the workplace, 58 resulting in greater well-being and greater productivity, can lead to self-satisfaction and superficiality(肤浅).One article within the issue also finds that, within team situations, negativity can have a good effect, leading to less 59 and therefore greater discussion among workers which 60 team effectiveness.An interesting contradiction(矛盾) is identified in another study of the special issue. Here, people gain 61 from doing “good” in the context of helplines by providing support to people in times of emotional distress. 62 , they are negatively affected by their line of work due to people trying to avoid them in social situations.Lindebaum said, “The findings of the studies published in this Special Issue 63 the widely held assumption that in the workplace positive emotions 64 a positive outcome, and vice verse. This Special Issue adds to our knowledge and understanding of how the positive and negative emotions affect the 65 environment and has practical application and relevance in the workplace.”51.

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)The term “resume”means a document describing one’s educational qualitifications and professional experience. However guidelines for preparing a global resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the company culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The following list is a good place to start.* In many countries, it is standard procedure to attach a photo or have your photo printed on your resume. Do not attach a photograph to your resume if you are sending it to the United States, though.* Educational requirements differ from country to country. In most case of “cross-border” job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be enough. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience.* Pay attention to the resume format(格式) you use--chronological(时间的) or revers-chronological order. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the revers-chronological format,which means listing your current or most recent experience first.* The level of computer technology and accessibility to the Internet varies from country to country. Even if a company or individual lists an e-mail address, there is no guarantee that they will actually receive your email. Send a paper copy of your resume , as well as the emailed copy, just to make sure that it is received.* If you are writing your resume in English, find out if the receiver uses British English or American English because there are variations between the two versions.* Although English is widely accepted today as being the universal language of business, most multinational companies will expect you to speak the language of one of the countries in which they do business, in addition to English. Have your resume prepared in both languages, and be ready for your interview to be conducted in both languages. Most companies will want to see and hear proof of your language skills.* Be aware that paper sizes are different countries. The United States standard is 81/2 by 11 inches, while the European A4 standard is 21 by 29.7 centimeters.When you send your resume by email, reformat it to the receiver’s standard. Otherwise, when it is printed out,half of your material may be missing.66. The passage is most probably intended for ______ .A. Job hunters that seek careers abroadB. Companies that do international businessC. People that are employed by companies overseasD. Graduates that can speak over one foreign language67. Which of the following is always advisable when a global resume is prepared according to the passage ?A. Write it in American English.B. Prepare it in at least three languagesC. Attach or print your photo on it.D. Send both a paper and emailed copy.68. From the passage, we learn that ______.A. We can’t list the oldest experience first in a resumeB. Asian countries may have the same standard paper sizeC. A resume can help us know about a person’s personalityD. A person’s educational background should be included in a resume69. The passage mainly wants to tell us that a global resume should ______.A. Be highly professionalB. Be especially informativeC. Be culturally appropriateD. Be logically chronological(B)70.

Buy their tickets on the busC. Buy the tickets onlineD. Buy their tickets in advance(C)Researchers are reporting the first treatment to speed recovery from severe brain injuriescaused by falls and car crashes: a cheap flu medicine--amantadine, whose side benefits were discovered by accident decades ago.Severely injured patients in the United States, Denmark and Germany who were given amantadine got better faster than those who received another medicine. After four weeks, more people in the flu drug group could give reliable yes-and-no answers, follow commands or use a spoon or hairbrush--things that none of them could do at the start. Far fewer patients who got amantadine remained in a vegetative state, 17 percent versus 32 percent.“This drug moved the needle in terms of speeding patient recovery, and that’s not been shown before,”said neuropsychologist(神经心理学家) Joseph Giacino of Boston’s Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, co-leader of study. He added:“It really does provide hope for a population that is viewed in many places as hopeless.”Many doctors began using amantadine for brain injures years ago, but until now there’s never been a big study to show that it works. The results of the federally(联邦地) funded study appear in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine.A neuropsychologist(神经心理学家) who wasn’t involved in the research called it an important step. But many questions remain, including whether people less severely injured would benefit, and whether amantadine actually improves patients’ long-term outcome or just speeds up their recovery.Each year, an estimated 1.7 million American suffer a brain injury. With no proven treatment to rely on, doctors have used a variety of medicines approved for other disease in the hopes that they would help brain injury patients. Those decisions are based on “guesses and logic rather than data” said Dr. John Whyte, of the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute in suburban Philadelphia. He led the study along with Giacino.Amantadine, an inexpensive medicine, was approved for the flu in the mid-1960s. The first hint that it might have other uses came a few years later when it appeared to improve Parkinson’s symptoms in nursing home patients. It was found to have an effect on the brain’s doparmine system(多巴胺系统), whose function include movement and alertness, and it was later approved for Parkinson’s.It’s now commonly used for brain injuries, and the researchers felt it was important to find out “whether we’re treating patients with a useful drug, a harmful drug or a useless drug,” Whyte said.74. According to Paragraph 1, the patients in a vegetative state may be those who ______.A. Can follow simple ordersB. Recover faster than expectedC. Can’t breathe on their ownD. Show no sign of brain activities75. According to the passage, Amantadine is a medicine that ______.A. Is useful for flu onlyB. Is aimed to improve memoryC. Speeds up brain injury recoveryD. Benefits patients’ brain injuries in the long run76. The aim of the study led by Giacino and Whyte is to ______.A. Get enough fund from the federal governmentB. Prove the effect of Amantadine on brain injuriesC. Publish its results in New England Journal of MedicineD. Provide hope for patients considered hopeless in the past77. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage ?A. Old Drug,Proven Side BenefitB. Medical Study, New DiscoveryC. Severe Brain Injury, Quick RecoveryD. Different Treatment, Obvious EffectSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Defenders of the French language are angered by plans to introduce courses taught in English at public universities, arguing that France must protect itself against the risk of losing its cultural identity.The French Parliament recently started to debate the issue as part of a bill on a broader reform of higher education, but all attention has focused on an article that would lift a 19-year ban on English as a teaching language at public universities.The French government backs the change, which it says would help to attract foreign students and help French graduates compete in a global economy as the country struggles to regain competitiveness. More French students fearing poor job prospects at home, where youth unemployment is nearly 25 percent, are studying and working abroad. One of their destinations is London, which now has become the sixth largest French population in the world.However, opponents of the law, including professors, lawmakers and the French language supervision body Academic France, say the community of other French-speaking peoples must be defended and that the change would be a betrayal of other French-speaking nations."If France gives other French-speaking countries the wrong signal by leading an assault against the language, that would be a very, very regrettable thing indeed," said Claude Hagege, a language scientist.France has long defended its culture at home and abroad. In 1994, the so-called " Toubon Law" made the use of French mandatory in all TV broadcasts, meaning all foreign-language programs are dubbed, while radio stations must play at least 40 percent of French music for most of the day.Business leaders criticize France's low ranking for English proficiency(熟练度）- it placed 23rd in a 2012 global ranking published by education company Education First - even though the use of English has grown, notably in academic circles.Higher Education Minister Genevieve Fioraso said offering English would increase the appeal of French universities at a time when they are falling further behind in international rankings. In a 2011-2012 survey by Britain's Times newspaper, the highest-ranked French university is in 59th position. Private business schools where English is taught rank higher.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What does “the change” in Paragraph 3 refer to ?79.

D．Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）For centuries, the Inca city of Machu Picchu was lost in the jungle. Then, in 1911, the American explorer, Hiram Bingham, discovered the ruins(废墟) of it. It is one of the most extraordinary places in the world.Today it is also one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Many people choose to follow the Inca Trail (印加古道), a centuries-old path of 43 kilometres that takes three or four days on foot. Others take the train and then a bus for the last part of the journey.Now a hotel company is going to build a cable car to the top of Machu Picchu. “The cable car is good news for Machu Picchu,” says a company spokesman. “There are going to be a lot more tourists and that means more jobs for the local people. Looking after the ruins is expensive. With the extra money, we can spend more on looking after them.”However, the plan is not popular in Peru (秘鲁). Ana Redondo, a tour guide, explains the problem.“There are already more than 300,000 tourists that go to Machu Picchu every year. The Inca Trail is crowded. Old tea bags and water bottles can be found here and there. How dirty the Inca Trail is now! The new cable car is going to bring 400 tourists every hour! The company is also going to build a large hotel and tourist centre with souvenir shops, fast food restaurants and so on. It is the end of Machu Picchu.”Ana is an activist who belongs to an organization named Save Machu Picchu. She says that the organization is going to stop the company’s plans. “Tomorrow we are meeting government officers. Next week two scientists from UNESCO will come here. We will discuss the plans.

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

As little as 20 cents per child per day, he told me. Immediately I got him, I founded（成立）Kids of Kilimanjaro.

If so, please remember, for often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Enjoy the process. Here is a story to tell you why.One day a little boy decided to dig a hole behind his house after watching a science program. As he was working, a couple of boys stopped by to watch. "what are you doing?" asked one of the visitors. "I want to dig a deep hole all the way through the earth!" the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling him that it was impossible to do it. Then they left.The little boy kept on digging and digging. Suddenly, a few small colorful stones caught his eyes. He collected them and put them into a glass box patiently. Humming a song, he went on digging. The box was full soon. Then he talked to himself quietly and proudly, "Maybe I can't finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I have found in the process of digging!"The boy's goal was too difficult, but it did cause him to go on, in other words, to cause us to keep working.Not every goal will be achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you can't achieve your goal, maybe you can say, "Yes, but look what I've found along the way! There are so many wonderful things that have come into my life because I tried to do something!" It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really has a meaning.88.

According to Xiao, some hot places in the area cost up to 100,000 yuan a month to rent."Some people with true creativity are moving out, jumping from new low price areas to the next," says Xiao.When it comes to pills (药丸), many people try to keep away from them. But in Tianzifang, the traditional use of pills is being changed. In fact, in one of the shops, pills are a best seller among young visitors."Our pills are not bitter. They're all sweet," says Wang Jin, 28, the owner of Sweet Pills. Wang says the city's creativity districts provide young people who want to do their own business with better opportunities (=chances) and great fun as well.What Wang is referring to are not real pills for illness, but candies with printed words on the package (包装) that are aimed at some young people - "Tuhao pills" and "Xueba pills".According to Wang, the idea of selling candies in the form of medicine started as a joke."The first idea was to print jokes on the candy bottles," says Wang. "But after some time, we found that they didn't work well." So Wang and her teammates quickly turned their attention to online catchphrases (标语), which are much more popular than jokes.To Wang's own surprise, the idea was a big seller. Just two days after her shop's official opening in Tianzifang, the pills were all sold out. Wearing a white coat, just like a doctor, Wang was happy looking at the empty shelves in the store. At least Wang is not worried about the 40,000 yuan rent every month. She is ready for a new shop in a new neighborhood.88.

Four days after the start of the race, Ian was about 30 kilometers ahead, but he spoke to his son by radio every day. Sebastian was not having an easy trip. He began having problems with his boat. Then three killer whales started to follow him! But Sebastian didn't give up. He fixed his boat with rope. In the end, the killer whales left him alone. His father won the race by 14 hours, but Sebastian set a new world record: he became the youngest person ever to sail across theAtlantic Ocean alone.A lot of news reporters were waiting for Sebastian when he arrived in Antigua. They asked him if he had enjoyed the crossing. Sebastian told them that it had been fantastic, but very tiring.

This is partly due to this assumption 54 to take into account the differences in work contexts which effect outcomes.For instance, anger does not always lead to negative outcomes and can be used as a force for good through acting upon injustices. In some 55 , anger can be considered a force for good if motivated by perceived violations(违背)of moral standards. An employee, for example, could express anger constructively after a manager has treated a fellow worker 56 . In such cases, anger can be useful to 57 these acts of injustice from repeating themselves in the future.Likewise, being too positive in the workplace, 58 resulting in greater well-being and greater productivity, can lead to self-satisfaction and superficiality(肤浅).One article within the issue also finds that, within team situations, negativity can have a good effect, leading to less 59 and therefore greater discussion among workers which 60 team effectiveness.An interesting contradiction(矛盾) is identified in another study of the special issue.

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)The term “resume” means a document describing one’s educational qualitifications and professional experience. However guidelines for preparing a global resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the company culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The following list is a good place to start.* In many countries, it is standard procedure to attach a photo or have your photo printed on your resume. Do not attach a photograph to your resume if you are sending it to the United States, though.* Educational requirements differ from country to country. In m ost case of “cross-border” job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be enough. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience.* Pay attention to the resume format(格式) you use--chronological(时间的) or revers-chronological order. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the revers-chronological format, which means listing your current or most recent experience first.* The level of computer technology and accessibility to the Internet varies from country to country. Even if a company or individual lists an e-mail address, there is no guarantee that they will actually receive your email. Send a paper copy of your resume , as well as the emailed copy, just to make sure that it is received.* If you are writing your resume in English, find out if the receiver uses British English or American English because there are variations between the two versions.* Although English is widely accepted today as being the universal language of business, most multinational companies will expect you to speak the language of one of the countries in which they do business, in addition to English. Have your resume prepared in both languages, and be ready for your interview to be conducted in both languages. Most companies will want to see and hear proof of your language skills.* Be aware that paper sizes are different countries. The United States standard is 81/2 by 11 inches, while the European A4 standard is 21 by 29.7 centimeters. When you send your resume by email, reformat it to the receiver’s standard. Otherwise, when it is printed out,half of your material may be missing.66. The passage is most probably intended for ______ .A. Job hunters that seek careers abroadB.

After four weeks, more people in the flu drug group could give reliable yes-and-no answers, follow commands or use a spoon or hairbrush--things that none of them could do at the start. Far fewer patients who got amantadine remained in a vegetative state, 17 percent versus 32 percent.“This drug moved the needle in terms of speeding patient recovery, and that’s not been shown before,” said neuropsychologist(神经心理学家) Joseph Giacino of Boston’s Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, co-leader of study. He added:“It really does provide hope for a population that is viewed in many places as hopeless.”Many doctors began using amantadine for brain injures years ago, b ut until now there’s never been a big study to show that it works. The results of the federally(联邦地) funded study appear in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine.A neuropsychologist(神经心理学家) who wasn’t involved in the research called it an important step. But many questions remain, including whether people less severely injured would benefit, and whether amantadine actually improves patients’ long-term outcome or just speeds up their recovery.Each year, an estimated 1.7 million American suffer a brain injury. With no proven treatment to rely on, doctors have used a variety of medicines approved for other disease in the hopes that they would help brain injury patients. Those decisions are based on “guesses and logic rather than data” said Dr. John Whyte, of the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute in suburban Philadelphia. He led the study along with Giacino.Amantadine, an inexpensive medicine, was approved for the flu in the mid-1960s. The first hint that it might have other uses came a few years lat er when it appeared to improve Parkinson’s symptoms in nursing home patients. It was found to have an effect on the brain’s doparmine system(多巴胺系统), whose function include movement and alertness, and it was later approved for Parkinson’s.It’s now commonly used for brain injuries, and the researchers felt it was important to find out “whether we’re treating patients with a useful drug, a harmful drug or a useless drug,” Whyte said.74. According to Paragraph 1, the patients in a vegetative state may be those who ______.A. Can follow simple ordersB. Recover faster than expectedC. Can’t breathe on their ownD. Show no sign of brain activities75. According to the passage, Amantadine is a medicine that ______.A. Is useful for flu onlyB. Is aimed to improve memoryC. Speeds up brain injury recoveryD. Benefits patients’ brain injuries in the long run76. The aim of the study led by Giacino and Whyte is to ______.A. Get enough fund from the federal governmentB. Prove the effect of Amantadine on brain injuriesC. Publish its results in New England Journal of MedicineD. Provide hope for patients considered hopeless in the past77. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage ?A. Old Drug,Proven Side BenefitB. Medical Study, New DiscoveryC. Severe Brain Injury, Quick RecoveryD. Different Treatment, Obvious EffectSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Defenders of the French language are angered by plans to introduce courses taught in English at public universities, arguing that France must protect itself against the risk of losing its cultural identity.The French Parliament recently started to debate the issue as part of a bill on a broader reform of higher education, but all attention has focused on an article that would lift a 19-year ban on English as a teaching language at public universities.The French government backs the change, which it says would help to attract foreign students and help French graduates compete in a global economy as the country struggles to regaincompetitiveness. More French students fearing poor job prospects at home, where youth unemployment is nearly 25 percent, are studying and working abroad. One of their destinations is London, which now has become the sixth largest French population in the world.However, opponents of the law, including professors, lawmakers and the French language supervision body Academic France, say the community of other French-speaking peoples must be defended and that the change would be a betrayal of other French-speaking nations."If France gives other French-speaking countries the wrong signal by leading an assault against the language, that would be a very, very regrettable thing indeed," said Claude Hagege, a language scientist.France has long defended its culture at home and abroad. In 1994, the so-called " Toubon Law" made the use of French mandatory in all TV broadcasts, meaning all foreign-language programs are dubbed, while radio stations must play at least 40 percent of French music for most of the day.Business leaders criticize France's low ranking for English proficiency(熟练度）- it placed 23rd in a global ranking published by education company Education First - even though the use of English has grown, notably in academic circles.Higher Education Minister Genevieve Fioraso said offering English would increase the appeal of French universities at a time when they are falling further behind in international rankings. In a 2011- survey by Britain's Times newspaper, the highest-ranked French university is in 59th position. Private business schools where English is taught rank higher.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What does “the change” in Paragraph 3 refer to ?79. Some people are against the change because they think it would_____________________.80. According to “Toubon Law” , what is a must for TV stations in France?81.

Dirk Lindebaum and Peter Jordan, is the1of a Special Issue of the journal Human Relations.They found that the2held assumption that positivity in the workplace produces positive outcomes, while negative emotions lead to negative outcomes, may be in needfor3. This is partly due to this assumption4to take into account the differences in work contexts which affect outcomes.For instance, anger does not always lead to negative outcomes and can be used as a force for good through acting upon injustices. In some5, anger can be considered a force for good if motivated by violations（违背）of moral standards. An employee, for example, could express anger constructively after a manager has treated a fellow worker6.In suchsituations, anger can be useful to7these acts of injustice repeating themselves in the future.Likewise, being too positive in the workplace,8resulting in greater well ﹣being and greater productivity, can lead to self-satisfaction and superficiality（肤浅）.One article within the issue also finds that, within team situations, negativity can have a good effect, leading to less9and therefore greater discussion among workerswhich10team effectiveness.An interesting contradiction（矛盾）is identified in another study of the special issue. Here, people gain11from doing "good" in the context of helplines by providing support to people in times of emotional distress.12, they are negatively affected by their line of work due to people trying to avoid them in social situations.Lindebaum said, "The findings of the studies published in this SpecialIssue13the widely held assumption that in the workplace positive emotions14 a positive outcome, and vice versa.

However, guidelines for preparing a global résumé are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the company culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The following list is a good place to start.In many countries, it is standard procedure to attach a photo or have your photo printed on yourrésumé. Do not attach a photograph to your résumé if you are sending it to the United States, though.Educational requirements differ from country to country. In most cases of "cross-border" job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be enough. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience.Pay attention to the résumé format（格式）you use—chronological（时间的）or reverse-chronological order. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the reverse-chronological format, which means listing your current or most recent experience first.The level of computer technology and accessibility to the Internet varies from country to country. Even if a company or individual lists an e-mail address, there is no guarantee that they will actually receive your e-mail. Send a paper copy of your résumé, as well as the e-mailed copy, just to make sure that it is received.If you are writing your résumé in English, find out if the receiver uses British English or American English because there are variations between the two versions.Although English is widely accepted today as being the universal language of business, most multinational companies will expect you to speak the language of one of the countries in which they do business, in addition to English. Have your résumé prepared in both languages, and be ready for your interview to be conducted in both languages. Most companies will want to see and hear proof of your language skills.Be aware that paper sizes are different in different countries. The United States standard is 8½ by 11 inches, while the European A4 standard is 21 by 29.7 centimeters. When you send your résumé by e-mail,reformat it to the receiver's standard. Otherwise, when it is printed out, half of your material may be missing!(1) The passage is most probably intended for.A. job hunters that seek careers abroadB. companies that do international businessC. people that are employed by companies overseasD. graduates that can speak over one foreign language(2) Which of the following is always advisable when a global résumé is prepared according to the passage？A. Write it in American English.B. Prepare it in at least three languages.C. Attach or print your photo on it.D. Send both a paper and an emailed copy.(3) From the passage, we learn that.A. we can't list the oldest experience first in a résuméB. Asian countries may have the same standard paper sizeC. a résumé can help us know about a person's personalityD. a person's educational background should be included in a résumé(4) The passage mainly wants to tell us that a global résumé should.A. be highly professionalB. be especially informativeC. be culturally appropriateD. be logically chronological6、【来源】 2015年上海崇明县高三一模第70~73题8分B(1) On December 25th, 2014, the first coach from Heathrow Terminal 1to Reading departsat.A. 7:15B. 7:00C. 6:50D. 6:35(2) If you are to reach Terminal 2of the Heathrow Airport before 10：00 a.m., you need to get to Reading Station not later than.A. 8:20 a.m.B. 8:45 a.m.C. 9:00 a.m.D. 9:15 a.m.(3) The information leaflet is produced by.A.

After four weeks, more people in the flu drug group could give reliable yes-and-no answers, follow commands or use a spoon or hairbrush—things that none of them could do at the start. Far fewer patients who got amantadine remained in a vegetative state, 17 percent versus 32 percent."This drug moved the needle in terms of speeding patient recovery, and that's not been shown before," said neuropsychologist（神经心理学家）Joseph Giacino of Boston's Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, co-leader of the study. He added: "It really does provide hope for a population that is viewed in many places as hopeless."Many doctors began using amantadine for brain injuries years ago, but until now there's never been a big study to show that it works. The results of the federally（联邦地）funded study appear in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine.A neurologist（神经病学家）who wasn't involved in the research called it an important step. But many questions remain, including whether people less severely injured would benefit, and whether amantadine actually improves patients' long-term outcome or just speeds up their recovery.Each year, an estimated 1.7 million Americans suffer a brain injury. With no proven treatment to rely on, doctors have used a variety of medicines approved for other diseases in the hopes that they would help brain injury patients. Those decisions are based on "guesses and logic rather than data", said Dr. John Whyte, of the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute in suburban Philadelphia. He led the study along with Giacino.Amantadine, an inexpensive medicine, was approved for the flu in the mid-1960s.The first hint that it might have other uses came a few years later when it appeared to improve Parkinson's symptoms in nursing home patients. It was found to have an effect on the brain's dopamine system（多巴胺系统）, whose many functions include movement and alertness, and it was later approved for Parkinson's.It's now commonly used for brain injuries, and the researchers felt it was important to find out "whether we're treating patients with a useful drug, a harmful drug or a useless drug," Whyte said.(1) According to Paragraph 2, the patients in a vegetative state may be thosewho.A. can follow simple ordersB. recover faster than expectedC. can't breathe on their ownD. show no sign of brain activities(2) According to the passage, Amantadine is a medicine that.A. is useful for flu onlyB. is aimed to improve memoryC. speeds up brain injury recoveryD. benefits patients' brain injuries in the long run(3) The aim of the study led by Giacino and Whyte is to.A. get enough fund from the federal governmentB. prove the effect of Amantadine on brain injuriesC. publish its results in New England Journal of MedicineD. provide hope for patients considered hopeless in the past(4) Which of the following might be the best title of the passageA.

More French students fearing poor job prospects at home, where youth unemployment is nearly 25percent, are studying and working abroad. One of their main destinations is London, which now has the sixth largest French population in the world.However, opponents of the bill, including professors, lawmakers and the French language supervision body Academic France, say the global community of French-speaking peoples must be defended and that the change would be a betrayal（背叛）of other French-speaking nations."If France gives other French-speaking countries the wrong signal by leading an attack against the language, that would be a very, very regrettable thing indeed, "said Claude Hagege, a language scientist.France has long defended its culture at home and abroad. In 1994, the so-called "Toubon Law" made the use of French compulsory in all TV broadcasts, meaning all foreign-language programs are dubbed （配音）, while radio stations must play at least 40percent of French music for most of the day.Business leaders criticize France's low ranking for English proficiency（熟练度）— it placed 23rd in a 2012 global ranking published by education company Education First—even though the use of English has grown notably in academic circles.Higher Education Minister Genevieve Fioraso said offering English would increase the appeal of French universities at a time when they are falling further behind in international rankings. In a 2011-2012 survey by Britain's Times newspaper, the highest-ranked French university is in the 59th position. Private business schools where English is taught rank higher.（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.）(1) What does "the change" in Paragraph 3 refer to(2) Some people are against the change because they think it would.(3) According to "Toubon Law", what is a must for TV stations in France(4) Genevieve Fioraso thinks the release of the bill may help Frenchuniversities.六、翻译句子(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)9、【来源】 2015年上海崇明县高三一模第82~86题10分翻译句子(1) 我可以向你保证目前一切都在掌控之中。
