He was 39 years old when he entered his first race．Fred joined the New York Road Runners Club and organized New York City’s first marathon race．But what Fred truly wanted to do was to bring people together．He believes that anybody should be able to run — people of all ages and of any country． Not everyone in New York was excited about people running through their neighborhood．A youth gang warned him that nobody had better run through their turf．“That’s great，”Fred said．“I need someone to protect the runners in your area，and you look like just the fellows to do it．”Hegave them each a hat，shirt and jacket and that year，when the marathon went through their neighborhood，these young men proudly guarded the runners along their way． Fred decided what was truly important to him and he found a way to do it．He lived with intent．That single decision made his life remarkably different．As one sports writer said，“Fate handed him a short race．With his goal，with his love of life，Fred turned it into a marathon．”Fred would say that it’s not about how long you live，but how you run the race of life．41．The purpose that Fred Lebow organized New York City’s first ma rathon race was _____．A．to be popular with peopleB．to display his true love for sports developmentC．to drive away his loneliness in the runningD．to get more people together42．Which word in the passage is the closest in meaning to the underlined word“turf”?

I learnt so much about them that I could 29 a good racer anywhere and I bought some beauties. My pigeons won some top races, and I even began to make a bit of 30 .You see, people are prepared to pay big prices if they get to know that your pigeons are 31 big prizes.My wife had been changing her 32 to the pigeons over the last year or two anyway. She was quite 33 of all the prizes we’d won. Then there was the travelling, which she liked. You see some one has to take the pigeons a 34 way off and set them free. Some ofthe 35 were really nice. I never travelled. I used to like to wait at home and see them come in. They’ve got this wonderful sense of 36 , which can bring them back home so quickly. They’d flown hundreds of miles sometimes 37 storms or against strong winds. And there they’d come, tiny white birds against the great 38 . Then I'd watch them 39 round and come down onto the landing shelf. I'd look at my watch and think, “My goodness, that’s a good 40 . ”And I'd take off the little leg ring and push it through the machine to 41 what time he’d arrived. Then my wife would42 up and say, “Has he arrived yet?” Then we would work out if we’d won 43 .Then last year we had a 44 ! All of them got some sort of flu and 45 . It was terrible.

" To reinforce you’re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early.Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others -- an automatic review for you.46. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?A. They will be moved.B. They will be annoyed.C. They will be happy.D. They will be discouraged(泄气的).47.

Tips on an important social skill.B. Importance of attending parties.C. How to make use of associations.D. How to recite and repeat names.B篇Mistakes are a part of life. To err is human. Failure is also a part of life, not the end of life. Be happy facing life’s challenges. When y ou make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, you are actually rewarded along the way.Life is like a game and maybe you can award(奖励) points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it. Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have reached 50 points, just yell, “ Hey, I’ve won!” and give yourself a reward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever reason, tell yourself, “Well, I tried!” which is better than not trying at all. Don’t let it be said you didn’t try.What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually happiness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new mother happiness would be seeing her baby’s first steps. Happine ss for a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So happiness for you is really something simple that you want for yourself.It really doesn’t have to be big. As a matter of fact you should always have realistic expectations. Make the best out of every given situation. If you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen, don’t get despondent. This just means trying harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Don’t let “ give up ” be a part of your vocabulary.50.By saying “To err is human”, the author means that________.A. human beings should try to avoid(避免) making mistakesB. no one is perfect(完美的) and everyone makes mistakesC. mistakes and failures make up our lifD. human beings make mistakes easily51.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1It’s true that high-school coding classes aren’t essential for learning computer science in college. Students without experience can catch up after a few introductory courses, said Tom Cortina, the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science.However, Cortina said, early exposure is beneficial. When younger kids learn computer science, they learn that it’s not just a confusing, endless string of letters and numbers —but a tool to build apps, or create artwork, or test hypotheses. It’s not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students. Breaking down problems into bite-sized chunks and using code to solve them becomes normal. Giving more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap, Cortina said.Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college, where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the brim, which can drive the less-experienced or-determined students away.The Flatiron School, where people pay to learn programming, started as one of the many coding bootcamps that’s become popular for adults looking for a career change. The high-schoolers get the same curriculum, but “we try to gear lessons toward things they’re interested in,”said Victoria Friedman, an instructor. For instance, one of the apps the students are developing suggests movies based on your mood.The students in the Flatiron class probably won’t drop out of high school and build the next Facebook. Programming languages have a quick turnover, so the “Ruby on Rails”language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market. But the skills they learn —how to think logically through a problem andorganize the results —apply to any coding language, said Deborah Seehorn, an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.Indeed, the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all. But creating a future army of coders is not the sole purpose of the classes. These kids are going to be surrounded by computers —in their pockets, in their offices, in their homes —for the rest of their lives. The younger they learn how computers think, how to coax the machine into producing what they want —the earlier they learn that they have the power to do that —the better.21. Cortina holds that early exposure to computer science makes it easier to____.A. complete future job trainingB. remodel the way of thinkingC. formulate logical hypothesesD. perfect artwork production22. In delivering lessons for high-schoolers, Flatiron has considered their____.A. experienceB. academic backgroundsC. career prospectsD. interest23. Deborah Seehorn believes that the skills learned at Flatiron will____.A. help students learn other computer languagesB. have to be upgraded when new technologies comeC. need improving when students look for jobsD. enable students to make big quick money24. According to the last paragraph, Flatiron students are expected to____.A. compete with a future army of programmersB. stay longer in the information technology industryC. become better prepared for the digitalized worldD. bring forth innovative computer technologies25. The word “coax”(Line4, Para.6) is closest in meaning to____.A. challengeB. persuadeC. frightenD. misguideText 2Biologists estimate that as many as 2 million lesser prairie chickens---a kind of bird living on stretching grasslands—once lent red to the often gray landscape of the midwestern and southwestern United States. But just some 22,000 birds remain today, occupying about 16% of the species’historic range.The crash was a major reason the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)decided to formally list the bird as threatened. “The lesser prairie chicken is in a desperate situation,”said USFWS Director Daniel Ashe. Some environmentalists, however, were disappointed. They had pushed the agency to designate the bird as “endangered,” a status that gives federal officials greater regulatory power to crack down on threats. But Ashe and others argued that the“threatened”tag gave the federal government flexibility to try out new, potentially less confrontational conservations approaches. In particular, they called for forging closer collaborations with western state governments, which are often uneasy with federal action and with the private landowners who control an estimated 95% of the prairie chicken’s habitat.Under the plan, for example, the agency said it would not prosecute landowner or businesses that unintentionally kill, harm, or disturb the bird, as long as they had signed a range—wide management plan to restore prairie chicken habitat. Negotiated by USFWS and the states, the plan requires individuals and businesses that damage habitat as part of their operations to pay into a fund to replace every acre destroyed with 2 new acres of suitable habitat. The fund will also be used to compensate landowners who set aside habitat, USFWS also set an interim goal of restoring prairie chicken populations to an annual average of 67,000 birds over the next 10 years. And it gives the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA), a coalition of state agencies, the job of monitoring progress. Overall, the idea is to let “states”remain in the driver’s seat for managing the species，”Ashe said.Not everyone buys the win-win rhetoric Some Congress members are trying to block the plan, and at least a dozen industry groups, four states, and threeenvironmental groups are challenging it in federal court Not surprisingly, doesn’t go far enough “The federal government is giving responsibility for managing the bird to the same industries that are pushing it to extinction,”says biologist Jay Lininger.26. The major reason for listing the lesser prairie as threatened is____[A]its drastically decreased population[B]the underestimate of the grassland acreage[C]a desperate appeal from some biologists[D]the insistence of private landowners27.The “threatened”tag disappointed some environmentalists in that it_____[A]was a give-in to governmental pressure[B]would involve fewer agencies in action[C]granted less federal regulatory power[D]went against conservation policies28.It can be learned from Paragraph3 that unintentional harm-doers will not be prosecuted if they_____[A]agree to pay a sum for compensation[B]volunteer to set up an equally big habitat[C]offer to support the WAFWA monitoring job[D]promise to raise funds for USFWS operations29.According to Ashe，the leading role in managing the species in______[A]the federal government[B]the wildlife agencies[C]the landowners[D]the states30.Jay Lininger would most likely support_______[A]industry groups[B]the win-win rhetoric[C]environmental groups[D]the plan under challengeText 3That everyone’s too busy these days is a cliché. But one specific complaint is made especially mournfully：There’s never any time to read.What makes the problem thornier is that the usual time-management techniques don’t seem sufficient. The web’s full of articles offering tips on making time to read: “Give up TV”or “Carry a book with you at all times”But in my experience, using such methods to free up the odd 30 minutes doesn’t work. Sit down to read and the flywheel of work-related thoughts keeps spinning-or else you’re so exhausted that achallenging book’s the last thing you need. The modern mind, Tim Parks, a novelist and critic, writes, “is overwhelmingly inclined toward communication…It is not simply that one is interrupted; it is that one is actually inclined to interruption”. Deep reading requires not just time, but a special kind of time which can’t be obtained merely by becoming more efficient.In fact, “becoming more efficient”is part of the problem. Thinking of time as a resource to be maximised means you approach it instrumentally, judging any given moment as well spent only in so far as it advances progress toward some goal immersive reading, by contrast, depends on being willing to risk inefficiency, goallessness, even time-wasting. Try to slot it as a to-do list item and you’ll manage only goal-focused reading-useful, sometimes, but not the most fulfilling kind. “The future comes at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and nearly infinite conveyor belt,”writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time, and “we feel a pressure to fill these different-sized bottles (days, hours, minutes)as they pass, for if they get by without being filled, we will have wasted them”. No mind-set could be worse for losing yourself in a book.So what does work? Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times for reading. You’d think this might fuel the efficiency mind-set, but in fact, Eberle notes, such ritualistic behaviour helps us “step outside time’s flow”into “soul time”. You could limit distractions by reading only physical books, or on single-purpose e-readers. “Carry a book with you at all times”can actually work, too-providing you dip in often enough, so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business, before dropping back down. On a really good day, it no longer feels as if you’re “making time to read,”but just reading, and making time for everything else.31.

The best title for this text could be[A] How to Enjoy Easy Reading[B] How to Find Time to Read[C] How to Set Reading Goals[D] How to Read ExtensivelyText 4Against a backdrop of drastic changes in economy and population structure, younger Americans are drawing a new 21st-century road map to success, a latest poll has found.Across generational lines, Americans continue to prize many of the same traditional milestones of a successful life, including getting married, having children, owning a home, and retiring in their sixties. But while young and old mostly agree on what constitutes the finish line of a fulfilling life, they offer strikingly different paths for reaching it.Young people who are still getting started in life were more likely than older adults to prioritize personal fulfillment in their work, to believe they will advance their careers most by regularly changing jobs, to favor communities with more public services and a faster pace of life, to agree that couples should be financially secure before getting married or having children, and to maintain that children are best served by two parents working outside the home, the survey found.From career to community and family, these contrasts suggest that in the aftermath of the searing Great Recession, those just starting out in life are defining priorities and expectations that will increasingly spread through virtually all aspects of American life, from consumer preferences to housing patterns to politics.Young and old converge on one key point: Overwhelming majorities of both groups said they believe it is harder for young people today to get started in life than it was for earlier generations. While younger people are somewhat more optimistic than their elders about the prospects for those starting out today, big majorities in both groups believe those “just getting started in life”face a tougher a good-paying job, starting a family, managing debt, and finding affordable housing.Pete Schneider considers the climb tougher today. Schneider, a 27-yaear-old auto technician from the Chicago suburbs says he struggled to find a job after graduating from college. Even now that he is working steadily, he said.”I can’t afford to pay ma monthly mortgage payments on my own, so I have to rent rooms out to people to mark that happen.”Looking back, he is struck that his parents could provide a comfortable life for their children even though neither had completed college when he was young. “I still grew up in an upper middle-class home with parents who didn’thave college degrees,”Schneider said. “I don’t think people are capable of that anymore.”36. One cross-generation mark of a successful life is_____.[A] trying out different lifestyles[B] having a family with children[C] working beyond retirement age[D] setting up a profitable business37. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that young people tend to ____.[A] favor a slower life pace[B] hold an occupation longer[C] attach importance to pre-marital finance[D] give priority to childcare outside the home38. The priorities and expectations defined by the young will ____.[A] become increasingly clear[B] focus on materialistic issues[C] depend largely on political preferences[D] reach almost all aspects of American life39. Both young and old agree that ____.[A] good-paying jobs are less available[B] the old made more life achievements[C] housing loans today are easy to obtain[D] getting established is harder for the young40. Which of the following is true about Schneider?[A] He found a dream job after graduating from college.[B] His parents believe working steadily is a must for success.[C] His parents’good life has little to do with a college degree.[D] He thinks his job as a technician quite challenging.2015年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语二真题考生注意事项：1 考生必须严格遵守各项考场规则。

Liz PayneBThe freezing Northeast hasn‟t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitam in C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part-particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables-was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers‟ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I‟ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they‟re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncerta inty, on one particular table at the Brown‟s Grove Farm‟s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn‟t be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown‟s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where-luckily for me-I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I‟d be ordering every tomato on it.24. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A. Exciting.B. Boring.C. Relaxing.D. Annoying.25. What made the author‟s getting up early worthwhile?A. Having a swim.B. Breathing in fresh air.C. Walking in the morning sun.D. Visiting a local farmer‟s market.26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A. They are soft.B. They look nice.C. They taste great.D. They are juicy.27. What was the author going to do that evening?A. Eat in a restaurant.B. Check into a hotel.C. Go to a farm.D. Buy fresh vegetables.CSalvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist‟s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.28. Which of the following best describes Dali according to Paragraph 1?A. Optimistic.B. ProductiveC. Generous.D. Traditional.29. What is Dali‟s The Persistence of Memory considered to be?A. One of his masterworks.B. A successful screen adaptation.C. An artistic creation for the stage.D. One of the beat TV programmes.30. How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?A. By popularity.B. By importance.C. By size and shape.D. By time and subject.31. What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Donations.B. Projects.C. Artworks.D. Documents.DConflict is on the menu tonight at the caféLa Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psycholog ist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France‟s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn‟t always easy. The customers-some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session-are quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论)，slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say …one feels,‟ or …people think‟,”Lehanne told them. “Say …I think,‟ …Think me‟.”A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn‟t s eem more un-French. But Lehanne‟s psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself: It‟s trying to help the city‟s troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours, a fast-food boom and a younger generation‟s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.The city‟s “psychology cafes”, which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle-aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne‟s group just to learn to say what they feel. “There‟s a strong need in Paris for communication,” says Maurice Frisch, a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends.And they need to open up.” Lehanne says she‟d like to see psychology cafes all over France. “If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn‟t exist,” she says. “If life weren‟t a battle, people wouldn‟t need a special place just to speak.” But then, it wouldn‟t be France.32.What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?A. Learn a new subjectB. Keep in touch with friends.C. Show off their knowledge.D. Express their true feelings.33. How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?A. They have bigger night crowds.B. They stay open for longer hours.C. They are less frequently visited.D. They start to serve fast food.34. What are theme cafes expected to do?A. Save the cafe business.B. Supply better drinks.C. Create more jobs.D. Serve the neighborhood.35. Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?A. They bring people true friendship.B. They give people spiritual support.C. They help people realize their dreams.D. They offer a platform for business links.完形填空（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）My kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend.

qualities．It has always been a mystery why bluestones，the smaller stones that formpart of the circle，were transported around 155 miles from Preseli Hillsin Wales to Wiltshire in southern England．Archaeologists from Bournemouth University，who carried out the dig in April—the first at Stonehenge since 1964—believe the bluestones were respected as healing stones．“It was the magical qualities of these stones that transformed the monument and made it a place of pilgrimage for the sick and the injured of the Neolithic world (新石器时代)，”a statement from the archaeologist team said．Geoffrey Wainwright，president of the Society of Antiquaries of London and one of the experts leading the work，said that one reason which led to the conclusion was that a number of the burials around Stonehenge showed signs of injury and disability．The archaeologists said in the statement that radiocarbon dating (放射性碳测年法) put the construction of the circle of bluestones at between 2400 B．C． and 2200 B．C．，a few centuries later than originally thought．But they found pieces of charcoal dating from before 7000 B．C．，showing humans were active in the area much earlier than previously thought．During the dig，the researchers also found Roman ceramics (陶器) and ancient stone hammers．“We now know，much to our surprise and delight，that Stonehenge was not just a prehistoric monument，but it was a Roman and mediaeval (中世纪的) monument，” said Wainwright．Another of the team leaders，Tim Darvill of Bournemouth University，said the bluestones appeared to be the most important to the purpose of Stonehenge although it may have had more than one function．Other theories about Stonehenge are that it was a religious site or that it acted as a calendar．1．Faraway bluestones were transported to

They were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then the boy tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass(the special fish).The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm –two hours before the bass season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.“Dad!” cried the boy, “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake.No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water. The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish … again and again … every time he has an ethical decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics (伦理道德)are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.46. What happened when the big fish turned out to be a bass?A. The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly.B. The boy and his father discussed what to do with the big fish.C. The father lit a match in order to check the time.D. They worried other fishermen may discover what they had done.47. From the text we know that the father _____.A. disliked the huge fishB. was firm and stubbornC. didn’t love hisson D. always disagreed with his son48. The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because _____.A. they might catch a big fish thereB. he was taught a moral lesson thereC. it was a most popular fishing spotD. their children enjoyed fishing there49. What does the story imply?A. An ethical decision is always easy to make.B. It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.C. It’s hard to tell right from wrong sometimesD. Fishing can help one to make right decisionsBBe careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are asgood as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had workedout the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive. Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dogs. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!50. From paragraph 2 we know that __ .A. animals are as clever as human beingsB. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzeesC. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skillsD. dogs have similar ‘learning abilities’ as 3-year-old children51. Both experiments show that .A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands rightB. Rico can recognize different things including toysC. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematicsD. Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them52. Which of the following statements is true?A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities.B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.C. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.D. Rico is born to understand its owner's commands.53. What does the writer want to tell us?A. To train your dog.B. To talk to your dog.C. To be friendly to your dog.D. To be careful with your dog.26-30 BDABC 3 1-35 CADAB 36-40 CBDDC 41-45 AADCB 46-50 CBBB 51-55 CBBC。

Teens who have recently gotten their driver's licenses may be taking the wheel to drive to school this fall. However, parents fear when their teen starts driving. And it turns out that such parental fears are justified — so i t's worth reviewing how to keep your teen safe while he or she is behind the wheel.Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death in U. S. teens. Drivers 16 to 19 years old are at the greatest risk for crashes. In fact, their risk is 4 times greater than for older drivers. The teens at the greatest risk are those who are male, those carrying other teenage passengers in the car, and those still in their first year of driving. Nearly 50 percent of teen deaths related to automobile crashes happen on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays between the hours of 3 p.m. and midnight.Why are teens at higher risk for motor vehicle crashes?Development. Teens haven‘t completely matured mentally and have greater risk-taking behaviors, possibly because they tend to underestimate the risk associated with a particular behavior. Teens also have a greater tendency to speed and to drive too close to the cars in front of them.No seatbelts. Teens have the lowest rate of seatbelt use among all driving groups.Alcohol. At least 25 percent of motor vehicle deaths in teens are related to alcohol use.Technological distractions. Cell phones, texting，MP3 players, and the like can all distract drivers greatly— and who more than teenagers?Be aware of your teen‘s driving practices and discuss safe driving habits when opportunities present themselves. Check out the applications and devices now available for restricting your teen‘s use of technology while driving. Some applications alert you to when your teen is texting while the vehicle is moving. Another device blocks incoming and outgoing texts when the car is running—incoming messages get an automatic reply (e. g, " I‘ m driving right now")，and phone calls go directly to voicemail. You can also get notifications if your teen tries to shut off the program. There are also GPS programs that let you know your new driver‘s whereabouts at all times. All in all, you can't be too cautious when teaching your teen how to be safe on the road.51. What factor is least related to the teen drivers‘ high risks of crashes?A. Driver age.B. Passenger gender.C. Driving experience.D. Driving time.52. Teens probably turn away their attention from driving when they are_____.A. drinking waterB. using no seatbeltsC. carrying passengersD. answering cell phones53. According to the passage, which should be prevented during teens' driving?A.V oicemail.B. GPS programs.C. Automated replies.D. Texting.54. The author writes the last paragraph in order to_____.A. set an example for the teensB. advocate different driving habitsC. offer parents practical suggestionsD. summari ze teen‘s driving practicesBIn many societies, there is often greater acceptance of light skin than dark skin. Light skin may be seen as a mark of beauty, intelligence and success. These beliefs can lead to social pressure even within the same racial group, if some members are darker skinned than others.The result is that skin lightening has become a common activity across Africa, Asia and other areas of the world. More and more people with dark skin are using skin lightening products, even if they may face health risks.They believe that having whiter skin will improve their lives. Many people think they will have a better chance of getting a job or marrying into a better family. Or they want to look like what their society generally considers beautiful.Some beauty care products and soaps contain chemicals that make skin lighter. This process is also called bleaching. But some of the chemicals are extremely dangerous. One of the most dangerous is hydroquinone.Hydroquinone has been banned in several countries. This chemical has been linked to kidney damage and some kinds of cancer. It also causes low birth weight in babies when mothers use it during pregnancy.At first, bleaching products make the skin color lighter. But after long term use they can cause problems. They can even make some skin darker. The chemicals in the products block and break down the natural process that gives color to skin. The skin loses its natural barrier to protect against sunlight. Then the skin can become thick and discolored. Usually the person will use more of the product in an effort to correct the problem, but this only makes it worse.Fatimata Ly treats skin conditions in the Senegalese capital. Dakar. Doctor Ly says skin bleaching has become a problem throughout Senegal. She says the chemicals are now more dangerous because they are stronger. Some cases have resulted in blackened fingernails, infections and permanent skin damage.And these are not the only risks. Experts say some people who change their skin color suffer emotional damage. They feel regret and sadness. They feel that instead of risking their health, theyshould have learned to love and accept their skin color as it was.55. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word ―bleaching‖?A. lightingB. changingC. whiteningD. pleasing56. Why has the skin lightening become a common activity all over the world?A.

The writer‘s attitude toward using the bleaching products is___________.A. doubtfulB. negativeC. supportiveD. positiveCIn the past two decades, the Chinese economy has undergone many reforms in an effort to compete more effectively on the international market. These reforms included allowing foreign banks to offer credit cards to Chinese citizens. Now, researchers at the University of Missouri(MU) have found about 30% of Chinese urban households now own at least one credit card and the growth rate of credit adoption has been an average of 40% per year between 2004 and 2009.Rui Yao, an assistant professor of personal financial planning at MU, says that this large growth in such a small amount of time has positive and negative implications for the Chinese economy.―With more and more people taking advantage of credit cards in China, it certainly increases potential consumer buying power,‖ Yao said. ―However, we found that more than 90% of credit card users were unaware of safety issues existing in credit card use and more than 60% had little knowledge of the consequences of credit card debt. This lack of knowledge could create problems as credit c ard ownership is expected to grow at a rate of 11% a year.‖Yao found that while 72% of Chinese credit card holders were never late on their payment, only 55% were able to pay the full balance. She also found that 70% of Chinese credit card holders said that credit cards contributed to overspending.Yao believe that Chinese could benefit from financial education designed to help them plan for their financial future and encouraging the Chinese to take advantage of debt in a responsible fashion is impor tant for the Chinese economy. ―Appropriate use of debt can help households improve their quality of life as well as spur economic growth through an increase in market purchases,‖ Yao said.59. Why did China allow foreign banks to offer credit cards to Chinese citizens?A. To increase Chinese citizen‘s confidence in economyB. To respond to the urgent demand for financial reformsC. To persuade more Chinese citizens to accept credit cardsD. To improve competitiveness in the international market60. A lot of figures are used in the text in order to ______.A. provide concrete evidenceB. record the valuable dateC. give a detailed descriptionD. introduce a research method61. It can be inferred from the text that _____.A. education is the only solutions to future financial issuesB. overspending is mainly brought about by credit cardsC. some Chinese citizens lack knowledge of credit risksD. most Chinese credit card holders can‘t pay the balance62. The underlined word ―spur‖ in the last paragraph is closest in the meaning to_____A. promoteB. delayC. controlD. discourageDYears ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, ―Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further t han any amount of experience.‖ How right they were! Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.―Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,‖ wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the thing gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, ―I can do it!‖ when others shout, ―No, you can‘t!‖ It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist（遗传学家）who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn‘t let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach（巴赫）. As the music flowed through his fingers, his bent shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. A s author and poet Samuel once wrote, ―Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.‖Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money, title or power. Patricia Mallrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, ―My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, I never made a penny until I stopped working for money.‖If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can do it as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended her depression that had troubled her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, ―I am persuaded to call Layton a genius.‖We can‘t afford to waste tears on ―might-have-beens‖. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after ―what-can-be.‖ We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses—finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a backyard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, and the beauty of a rainbow.63. Which of the following can best explain the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?A. Enthusiastic people can gain great fame and honorB. Enthusiastic people never consider money and fameC. If you don‘t have enthusiasm, you can achieve nothing.D. Enthusiasm can give you courage and strength in difficult times.64. The author mentions cellist Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that ________.A. enthusiasm can make people feel youngB. enthusiasm can keep people healthyC. music can arouse people‘s enthusiasmD. enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeed65. How many examples are given in the passage to show the importance of enthusiasm?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.66. The author holds the view that ________.A. enthusiasm can make you succeed and enjoy lifeB. enthusiasm can give people more success and fameC. enthusiasm is more important than experienceD. enthusiastic people will never get oldEEveryone wants to achieve true happiness in life. But the biggest factor holding most of us back is actually our own selves. The Huffington Post released a list of seven mistakes we need to let go of in order to become happier people. Let‘s take a look.1. Placing too much emphasis on fulfillment (成就感)Those who put a lot of pressure on themselves to be happy feel more lonely on a daily basis than those who do not, according to research conducted at the University of Denver, US.2. Keeping it all inKeeping it all together during tough times can hurt you. Crying is the body‘s emotional response to outside triggers (诱因). By suppressing it, you may be damaging your mental and physical health.3. Looking at your smart phone all the timeConnecting with others may be the key to happiness, but a recent University of Michigan study found that the more time participants spent on social networking sites, the less happy they felt.4. Not movingIt‘s no secret that a healthy lifest yle is a big part of happiness. Something as simple as a walk can help you increase your creativity and expose you to essential vitamins.5. Not reflecting on the pastIn a 2012 study on nostalgia (怀旧) and emotion, participants reported a higher sense of physiological (生理的) comfort when they looked back on the past. Affection for heartwarming memories helps people relate their past experiences to the present in order to create a greater sense of meaning.6. Resisting changeA study on the psychology of choices shows that the human brain naturally tries to avoid loss –but that resistance can cause stress. Whether it‘s fear of the unknown or fear of losing what you currently have, the pressure to hold on to the present can harm your future life satisfaction.7. Not being mindfulSetting aside time for meditation (沉思) allows your body to relax, cultivates (培养) an attitude of gratitude and lowers your stress level, according to researchers at University of California, Los Angeles, US.67. What is the main purpose of the article?A. To inform readers of the benefits of being happy.B. To explain why our happiness depends on our own actions.C. To point out the things we do that prevent us from being happy.D. To discuss some typical characteristics of happy people.68. The underlined word ―suppressing‖ in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A. speaking ofB. holding backC. thinking aboutD. taking no notice of69. According to the article, to be a happy person, it is important for us to ______.A. set goals and achieve as much as we canB. avoid recalling the pastC. do exercise in our spare timeD. spend more time on social networking sites70. According to the article, meditation is helpful mainly because ______.A. it increases our creativityB. it makes us less afraid of the unknownC. it helps us relax and thus reduce our stressD. it allows us to relate our past experiences to the present完成句子71. You‘ll never imagine to swim in the sea when Iwas travelling in SanYa. (fun)你永远无法想像当我在三亚旅游时，在海里游泳是多么有趣。

I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life 6 Angela appeared.That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school—a spot where no one would disturb me. That‘s when I first heard her voice.―Hi.

I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia. On the night we arrived, we discovered that ―our family‖ was living in a trailer(拖车) that was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another surfaced.We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house – something unusual but necessary under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.On Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the family‘s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, "What do you want for your new room?" Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask for, we were surprised when Josh responded, "I just want a bed."The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds tog tether, Eric ran into the house to watch us. Too dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway.As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, "What is that?""A pillow," he replied."What do you do with it?" Eric continued to ask."When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,‖ I answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as he handed Eric the pillow."Oh . . . that's soft," he said, hugging it tightly.Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my Dad gently asks, "Do you have a pillow?"

She and her husband were planning to attend a family party, so she wrote to a hotel and booked a room. She wanted to make sure the hotel was fully equipped, but didn’t know how to ask about the toilet facilities （卫生间设备）. She just couldn’t bring herself to write the word “toilet”in her letter. After much thought, she finally came up with the old-fashioned term “bathroom commode”. But when she wrote that down she felt that she was being too forward. So she started all over again, wrote the trip purpose this time, and referred to the bathroom commode merely as the B.C.. “Does the hotel have its own B.C.?” is what she finally wrote.Well, th e hotel owner wasn‟t old-fashioned at all, and he couldn‟t figure out what the woman was talking about. That B.C. business really stumped him. After worrying about it for a while, he showed the letter to some waiters, but no one could figure out what she meant either. So the hotel owner, finally coming to the conclusion that the lady was talking about the location of the Baptist Church, sat down and wrote the following reply: “Dear Madam, I regret very much the delay （延期）in answering your letter, but I now take the pleasure of informing you that the B.C. is located nine miles north of the hotel and is capable （有能力的）of seating 250 people at one time. I admit it is quite a distance away if you are in the habit of going regularly, but no doubt a great number of people take their lunches and make a day of it. They usually arrive early and stay late. If you don‟t start early you might not make it in time. I would like to say it pains me very much not being able to go more often, but it is surely not because of a lack of desire on my part. If you decide to come to our hotel, perhaps I could go with you the first time you go, sit with you, and introduce you to all the folks.”46. Why did the author‟s friend write “B.C.” instead of “toilet”?A. She tried to make her letter difficult to understand.B. She was quite old and liked to make the letter brief.C. She could spell out neither “toilet” nor “bathroom commode”.D. She thought it was a politer way to express what she meant.47. All of the following are men tioned in the lady‟s letter except that ____.A. she wanted to know the exact location of the hotelB. she would attend a family party with her husbandC. she would like to book a room in the hotelD. she wanted to find out whether the hotel would meet her needs48. The underlined word “stumped” in the second paragraph i s the closest in meaning to __.A. interestedB. puzzledC. shockedD. disappointed49. By writing “a great number of people take their lunches and make a day of it”, the h otel owner means that ____.A. it is a long way from the hotel to the churchB. the church has never served lunch at noon beforeC. the church is very popular with local peopleD. people like to share their lunches in the church50. What is the writer‟s purpose in writing the text?A. To persuade people not to use old-fashioned terms.B. To tell a funny story about an old-fashioned lady.C. To introduce two different meanings of “B.C.”.D. To criticize the old-fashioned lady‟s foolish behavior.完型BDisneyland opened on July 17, 1955 and instantly became the world‟s most recognizable and popular theme park.

Clever and interestingBDereck Joubert and his wife ,Beverly, have made many films about wild animals in Africa. Their films and photographs are very popular and one of the photographs has been on the front cover of a National Geofraphic magazine.A working day for Dereck and Beverly starts very early—at 4:30 in the morning ! That’s when they get up and start filming.And it’s a long day—they often work until 8:30 in the evening .I n the winter it’s very cold and in the summer it can be 40℃.Dereck always does the filming—Beverly never does that, and she doesn’t write. But Dereck never takes photographs or records the sound. They work very well as a team, and they both believe we should shoot animals with cameras—not with funs!When they have finished filming and taking photographs for the day, they have dinner and Dereck usually writes while Beverly looks at her photographs. At night they usually sleep in a small tent, but they sometimes sleep in the Land Cruiser—when you’re very close to wild animals, it’s sometimes safer to sleep in the car!Dereck and Beverly have also travelled around the world and given talks about their work.

Y our best chance of Body signals（信号）.Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line，it means “yes”. When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side ，it means“no”. If you want the pilot to know that it’s safe to land，push your hands out in front of you and bend（弯曲）your knees. If you want to say that it’s not safe to land ，put your arms in the air and move them to one side. Smoke signalsThe smoke from a fire can be seen from far away ，so it’s a good way to draw attention .If the weather is 为dry，it isn’t hard to start a fire. Remember ，however，that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you’re sure that it can’t spread .If the ground is dark，light smoke can be seen more easily .Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.Ground-to-air signalsIt’s a good idea to build some signals，too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols（标记）.If you can’t find any wood，use earth. Some useful symbols are：F“I need food and water”.II“I need medicine”.I “I am badly hurt”.X“I am unable to move from here.”Pilots’ repliesIf the pilot lowers the plane’s wings from side to side ，this means“message received and understood”（At night，the pilot flashes the plane’s green lights.）If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle ，this means“message received but not understood”.（At night ，the pilot flashes the plane’s red lights.）However ，there is no signal which means “message not received”. Why not？54、Which picture means“it’s not safe to land”？55、What can we learn from the passage？A、Swinging your arm from side to side means“yes”.B、If the ground is dark，light smoke can’t be seen.C、If you need some medicine ，make a symbol “II”.D、The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.56、What is the passage mainly about？A、The explanation of building signals on an island .B、The importance of building signals on an island.C、Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.D、Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island.DMy summer hols wr CWOT. B4, WE USED 2go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & thr 3 :-@ KIDS FTF. ILNY, its gr8.Can you understand this sentence? If you can’t, don’t feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the “translation” of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it’s great.Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming(破坏) the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical m istakes can be seen in students’ writing. They fear the language could become corrupted(面目全非的).Everyone should just relax, say linguists(语言学家). They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. “People get better at writing by writing,” he says. “Kids who are now doing text mess aging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents.”Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today’s teenagers become tomorrow’s parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become “corrupted”; they simply change to meet the new needs.However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak andwrite Standard English. Cynthia McV ey says, “I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it’s important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper Eng lish is a must for their future.”Perhaps, we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, “I wouldn’t use text language in my homework. Text is just for fun.”57. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?A. To give an example of foreign paragraph.B. To show an example of creative method.C. To express worries about using Netspeak.D. To lead in the topic of Netspeak.58. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Cynthia Mc V ry points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.B. Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.C. David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.D. James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.59.
