宝山区Millions of personal computers across the world are running at this moment, but most are using just a fraction of their full capacity to process information. Imagine what could happen if the spare power of these millions of machines were used to solve global problems.The organization Charity Engine attempts to do just that. It enables researchers and companies to use the extra computing power of thousands of personal computers. These companies pay a usage fee that goes to carefully selected charities.The computersCharity Engine offers a free app that has the user‟s computer do research as a background task. The program runs automatically, without direction from the user. Each computer works on a small chunk of a larger project and sends back its results. The results are combined to answer the researchers‟ questions.The researchersCharity Engine mostly uses its computing power for companies doing scientific, medical or commercial research. For example, Rosetta@home attempts to help find cures for serious diseases by discovering the shapes of proteins. Another project, Einstein@Home, tests scientific theories. And another helps establishments in Africa such as universities search for ways to fight the spread of malaria.The CharitiesCharity Engine gives 50 percent of the profits from renting out computing power to various charities. Each organization it supports has a good reputation for working in an area of vital importance. Most of them seek to address the primary causes of poverty while bringing short-term relief. These include Oxfam, a network of organizations in 94 countries. Another is CARE International, one of the three largest international aid agencies, which works in 87 countries. Charity Engine also supports Doctors Without Borders, which supplies medical care, and WaterAid, which provides safe water and promotes hygiene(卫生) in developing countries. Another of its charities, Sightsavers, works to prevent and reverse blindness through medical treatments and provides training for the blind. Charity Engine helps many other organizations as well.An added bonusCharity Engine returns the other 50 percent of its earnings to the people who made it all possible. The app users are entered into draws. Chosen at random, the winners receive thousands of dollars in prizes!Thanks to Charity Engine, computing power that would have gone to waste is fighting poverty and bringing healing and hope.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78.

That‟s right; a four-year-old girl is currently undergoing therapy after becoming addicted to playing games on her iPad.Receiving treatment at the Capio Nightingale Clinic, London, the little girl is said to have become increasingly distressed whenever her parents moved to take the iPad away. Medical help was sought af ter the girl‟s withdrawal symptoms did not improve.Dr. Richard Graham, the girl‟s psychiatrist (精神病医生), said: “In the year running up to contacting the clinic, the parents noticed her use of the iPad was increasing. She was using it three to four hours every day and showed increased anxiety if it was removed.”According to Dr. Graham, parents should strive to keep iPads and similar devices out of the reach of inf ants, believing that: “Children see all the pretty colours and they will want to use it too.”“There are concerns that toys are being replaced by the likes o f iPads and smartphones, but children are not at a level zhucanqi of maturity to deal with such advanced technology. They can‟t cope and become addicted, reacting with bad temper and uncontrollable behavior when they are taken away. Then as they grow older, the problem only gets worse,” Dr. Graham told The Mirror.The UK‟s first technology addiction programme was initiated by Dr. Graham three years ago. It‟s designed to deal with those who become annoyed when deprived from their device. Motivation for creating the treatment programme pfzhizuo came from a concern over the compulsive qualities of games available on iPads.Dr. Graham worries that this is not the only case of iPad addiction among young ones. It comes just after a five-year-old boy managed to cost his parents £1,700, by purchasing various add-ons for a game on the iPad.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) 78. The case of the four-year-old girl is given to inform us of _________________________________.79. Why is it easier for children to be addicted to iPads?80.

One lesson that can be drawn from the passage by parents of infants is that they should ______________________________________________________.奉贤区Most people look Forward to retirement as a time when they can inally take up activities that they never had the time or energy to pursue beore. But some recent studies on people in their depression and possibly higher rates of other diseases such as heart disease and high blood pressure. That‟s why a new study of French workers is welcome news.Led by Hugo Westerlund, a proessor of psychology at Stockholm University, the study of more than 14,000 workers found lower rates of depression and atigue in people after they got tired while they were still employed.The scientists followed the employees of the French national gas and electric company or 14 years. They found in the year immediately after retirement, the volunteers reported 40% ewer depressive symptoms than they had in the year beore their retirement. The researchers also found an 81% drop in reports of both mental and physical atigue over the same time period.Clearly, said Westerlund, much of these decrease in physical and mental atigue can be traced back to relie rom the stresses of work. The decline in depressive symptoms suggests that retirement may be having a positive mental effect, too, which may have a lot to do with the generous (养老金) that rench workers enjoy . Most retirees in that country still beneit rom about 80% o their yearly salaries.“The economic or inancial situation in retirement is very important,” Westerlund says, “We don‟t know if the decrease in atigue and depressive symptoms is because of the removal o something bad while in work or the addition of something good while in retirement. But no matter the reason, if life in retirement is not comortable, then we won‟t see the improvements we did.”However, in European nations like France, governments are considering changes to pension plans, which may aect retirees‟ health after they leave their jobs-with less of a financial saety net, workers may no longer seem so mentally and physically happy to be out of work.78. According to some recent studies, retired people may have depression and higher rates of other diseases like ___________.79. Westerlund‟s group ound that in the year just after the retirement most retired French workers felt much less tired both ___________.80. What does the word in paragraph 5 refer to?81. Retirement may make people happier with ___________.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)虹口区You are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia‟s fast-food generation. Dr. Chwang, director of the Department of Food Nutrition, says children are consuming more meat and soft drinks. That is a thorough departure from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice and little meat. “They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink. So although they may eat the same volume of food, their calorie intake (卡路里摄入量) has increased. Now about 40 to 45 percent of their calories come from fat,” says Chwang.Although on the whole Asians tend towards thinness, Asians‟ hospitality(好客)is the first and foremost reason for the fatness of today‟s generation, according to Chwang. “Asian people love food,” she says. “Eating and drinking are important social and family functions.” In the past, however, big meals were only hosted on special occasions as people were more careful with money. In today‟s climate of wealth and remarkable consumption, 10-course meals are no longer reserved for significant occasions.Needless to say, that children are being spoilt by their parents is another cause of children‟s overweight. More than anyone else, children are on the receiving end of their parents‟ improved circumstance s. “In the past, people had four or more children —now, they have one or two, so they tend to spoil them,” says Chwang. “The easiest way is to give them …quality food‟. Parents think feeding them well is showing their love. They feel bad when their childre n look thin.”When describing the physical condition of most overweight Asian children, Chwang says: “There is a clear relationship between fatness and indoor play children spend too much time on. Children get fat because they don‟t move, and eventually, they don‟t want to move because they‟re fat. Thanks to technology, a growing army of children prefer video games to old outdoor sports. “What do children do when watching TV or sitting in front of the computer playing video games? They eat chocolate and dri nk Coke,” says Chwang.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)78. Despite the same volume of food, children take in more calories due to ________.79. Thanks to ________, big meals nowadays are no longer enjoyed on special occasions.80. Why do some parents feel bad when their children look thin?81. According to Dr. Chwang, what are the three factors causing Asian children‟s overweight today?黄浦区The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal or moral rights of others. So the massacre (大屠杀) on the road may be regarded as a social problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one‟s actions could bring death o r damages to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence.Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be connected with psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can affect drivers‟ reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one‟s emotions under control.Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not limited to drivers. Street walkers regularly ignore traffic regulations. They are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents; and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.In the past few years, safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those withwhom they share the road.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. Why road killers can‟t be excused?Because __________.79. In order to avoid automobile accidents, the experts suggest drivers should __________.80. Besides drivers, who should also be blamed for most roads accidents?81. The accident rate has decreased in the past few years because of __________.嘉定区Stress for a teenage r is as real a problem as stress for an adult. Therefore, it‟s important to understand the causes of stress in teenagers.When parents change their jobs or if the family decides to move to a different place, the child has to change schools, find new friends, adapt to the new social circle and fit into new groups. It is always difficult for children to adapt to such changes, which can be a serious cause of stress in their life.Academic difficulties, such as inability to understand a certain subject can cause stress. Not every child has the ability to understand every subject. Some kids need extra help besides school work to grasp a few concepts. Poor academic performance is often laughed at and is looked down upon by both teachers and peers. In such cases, it can make the child feel isolated, neglected and hurt. All of this, put together, can add to stress, which many times worsens grades.Extra curricular activities(课外活动) such as playing a sport, or attending art classes can weigh heavily on your child‟s mind. Balancing school and extra curricular activities does seem like a burden when you have to be outstanding at both. When the pressures from both the ends get unmanageable, teenagers tend to get tired and annoyed. Tiredness sets in, leading to stress related issues such as lack of concentration in school.These are the common causes of stress in teenagers, which can be noticed through signs such as poor memory, anxiety, negative and pessimistic attitude. If the signs of teenage stress go unrecognized for a long time, it can make the child emotionally out of balance. And next step, if this happens, it is necessary for parents to know how to deal with stress.78. What does the passage mainly talk about?______________________________________________________.79. Poor academic performance causes stress for children because it tends ________________________________________________.80. How can parents know that their teenagers are under stress?They can know that if their children __________________________________________ 81. The common causes of stress in teenagers introduced by the author are:_________________________________________ and extra curricular activities.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN THIRTEEN WORDS)金山区However important we may regard school life to be, there is no denying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the great influence of parents cannotbe ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong allies of the school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously hinder and frustrate curricular objectives.Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents informed of the newer methods used in schools. Many principles have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program, manuscript writing and developmental mathematics. Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The informal tea and the many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of reporting pupils‟progress, can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home.To illustrate, suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent sublimate (升华) his natural paternal interest into productive channels. He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a standard or measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics, and at the same time, enjoying the work. Too often, however, teachers‟conferences with parents are devoted to petty(不重要的) accounts of children‟s misdeeds, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestion for penalties and rewards at home.What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional adviser, plants ideas in parents‟ minds for the best utilization of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom.In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters‟capacities.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements with NO MORE THAN 14 WORDS) 78. Why do parents also have great influence on children?_____________________________________________________________________________ 79. Through which ways can the teacher play an important role in enlightening parents?_____________________________________________________________________________ 80. According to the teacher, that parent should let the boy _____________________________ if he wants to sublimate his natural paternal interest into productive channels in teaching his son arithmetic.81. A more creative approach is needed for _____________________of children out of classroom. 静安区It is 2035. You have a job, a family and you are about 40 years old! Welcome to your future life.Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror. “Turn red,” you say. Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronics are rearranged in your shirt to change its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe you‟re 40. You look muchyounger. With amazing progress in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. You are not even middle-aged!As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal into a bowl, you hear, “To lose weight, you shouldn‟t eat that,” from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. “Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?” A list of possible foods appears on the counter as the kitchen checks its food supplies.“Ready for your trip to space?” you ask your son and daughter. In 2005 only specially trained astronauts went into space—and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacations. Your best friend even works in space. Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor said you need these for space travel.” Thanks to medical progress, vaccination shots (防疫针) are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain the vaccines. With the strawberries in their mouths, the kids head for the front door.It‟s time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors. “My office, Autopilot,” you order. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway. You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer. Looking through the pages, you watch the news as video film rather than read it. (Notes: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)78. What changes the color of your shirt?79. The shoes know that yo u shouldn‟t eat the breakfast cereal by__________.80. What do the strawberries the children eat serve as?81. In the future, when you look through the pages in the e-newspapers, ___________.闵行区Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers‟ d esire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company‟s environmental reputation was not good enough.Harry Morrison, chief executive of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes:“I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking—we don‟t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon emission(排放) has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions.Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to convey clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “When companies are granted the standard, they can use a logo in all their marketing, which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,” Mr. Morrison said.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS.)78. According to the passage, what is likely to influence shops on what to sell?79. A company may lose its regular customers unless ______________________.80. According to Harry Morrison, businesses will benefit from __________________.81. According to the last two paragraphs, companies can gain advantages by ____________.浦东新区Th e launch of the UK’s biggest online university venture has the potential to “revolutionise conventional models of formal education” and keep UK ahead in the global race to deliver the best education, says universities minister David Willetts.The FutureLearn project will see more than 20 institutions enter the global market to offer massive open online courses, or Moocs. Until now, the US has led the way in the creation of Moocs, catering to an estimated 3 million learners worldwide with hundreds of courses from a range of top institutions.Bath, Exeter, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Warwick are among the 21 UK universities that have signed up. The British Library, British Museum and British Council will also make material available to students. The venture, set up by the Open University, is a response to the rise of Moocs and will offer students a new and innovative way to access courses, says Martin Bean vice-chancellor of the Open University. Bean said, “Time and again we have seen the impact the Internet can have on industries — driving innovation and enhancing the customer experience. I have no doubt Moocs will do the same for education — offering people new and exciting ways to learn.”A senior academic at University College London — which has chosen not to be involved in FutureLearn —has questioned whether the Mooc model is the best road for universities to go down. Although free for students, online courses have some downsides. Stephen Caddick, professor at the university, says students want flexibility ab ove all. “Moocs are an online product of higher education currently experienced offline by a lot of students: inflexible”, said Caddick. “These courses are free to students, yet very expensive to develop for universities. ”Simon Nelson, CEO of FutureLearn, said university partners see this opportunity as “money extremely well spent”, helping them to boost their global profile and encourage experimentation and innovation within university departments. According to Nelson, FutureLearn will continue to expand its number of partners both in the UK and overseas, as well as develop its commercial model, which in the future could see students paying to take exams and purchase extra course material.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVEWORDS.)78. Besides revolutionizing traditional educational models, FutureLearn has the potential to ______________________.79. How many learners all over the world have benefited from the online courses offered by American universities?80. What are the two downsides of online courses mentioned by Stephen Caddic?81. What is the plan for FutureLearn according to Nelson?普陀区Being a social butterfly just might change your brain: In people with a large network of friends and excellent social skills, certain brain regions are bigger and better connected than in people with fewer friends, a new study finds.The research suggests a connection between social interactions and brain structure. “We're interested in how your brain is able to allow you to find the right way in complex social environments,” MaryAnn Noonan said, a neuroscientist (神经学家) at Oxford University. Studies in monkeys have shown that brain areas involved in face processing and in predicting the intentions of others are larger in animals living in large social groups than in ones living in smaller groups.To investigate these brain differences in humans, Noonan and her colleagues found 18 participants for a structural brain-imaging study. They asked people how many social interactions they had experienced in the past month, in order to determine the size of their social networks. As was the case in monkeys, some brain areas were enlarged and better connected in people with larger social networks. “These different brain regions are all singing different songs,” Noonan said. “Networked areas are all singing the same song, and when they're connected better, they're singing more harmoniously with each other.”The researchers also tested whether the size of a person's social network was linked with changes in white-matter pathways, the nerve fibers(纤维) that connect different brain regions. Again, they found that white-matter pathways were better connected in people with bigger social networks. "The nerves were more like a Los Angeles freeway than a country road," Noonan said.The researchers couldn't say whether social interaction caused these changes in brain structure and connectivity, or whether the brain determined how social someone was. In the case of the monkeys, the researchers asked and wrote down the size of the animals' social network, so they concluded that social-group size was causing the brain differences. It can be inferred that a similar process takes place in human brains, but to prove this, long-term studies are needed, Noonan told LiveScience.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. The certain brain regions in people with fewer friends are ______.79. According to Noonan, the certain brain areas whose functions are to _________ are larger in more-sociable monkeys.80. How did Noonan and her colleagues know about the size of participants‟ social networks?81. According to the researcher‟s findings, what would make the brains of monkeys different?青浦区Every year in America, high-school students who want to go on to college take a national examination called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT in a shortened way. Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them or whether any will be admitted at a ll. The Scholastic Aptitude Test measures one‟s mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English portion involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension.But the SAT folks have added a single question, to be answered in an essay, hand-written on the spot. That‟s an interesting way to test writing ability, but content aside, have you ever seen young people‟s handwriting lately? Or anyone‟s for that matter, in this age of computer keyboards? Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks. They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word. And they hand-write, or more often print, a word or two of identification on luggage and lunch bags. Otherwise, penmanship (书法) — once taught so morally and carefully by second-grade teachers, has gone the way of the dodo bird which has died out.Yet today‟s kids are asked to write, in a thoughtful and clear way, for several minutes on this SAT Test. Good luck to the test scorers who must work out difficultly what has been written by young people who‟ve been typing on computers since the age of three! Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help one‟s score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress poten tial employers and get more tax money back because the tax inspectors can actually read the computations. And don‟t forget, we all have to rely on handwriting from time to time, as computers go down when the power goes out.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78. In SAT, students will be tested on math, grammar, reading and__________________________________________________________.79. What does the underlined word “scribble” in paragraph 2 mean?__________________________________________________________.80. Why did the writer think test scorers would have a hard time?。

More are likely to follow. In March the 42 of a large-scale, 24-year survey gave one of the clearest pictures yet of the decline of Australian and Asian shorebirds, including the long-distance migrants (候鸟) that are most difficult to 43 . The results of the survey are awful.Every October for more than two decades, teams from the University of New South Wales in Australia counted birds from an airplane flown low over 130,000 square miles of wetlands in the eastern third of the continent. Their 44 showed a steady decline, beginning in the mid-1980s. By 2006 the number of migratory shorebirds had dropped by 73 percent and the number of Australia’s resident of shorebirds had fallen by 81 percent. “The 45 of the decline took us by surprise,”says evolutionary ecologist Silke Nebel of the University of Western Ontario in London, the lead author of the report.The survey 46 that inland wetlands were more important to both resident and migratory birds than had been 47 , and that wetland loss from damming (筑坝) and the diversion(分散) of river water for irrigation was at least in part 48 for the shorebird decline in Australia. But wetlands are becoming smaller in countries all along the major flyway that 49 from eastern Siberia to New Zealand, the study’s authors note, so protecting the 8 million birds that use the corridor 50 will require an international solution.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.The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the massacre (大屠杀) on the road may be regarded as a(n) 51 problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people, just ordinary people acting 52 , you might say. But it is a 53 both of law and common morality that carelessness is no ex cuse when one’s actions could bring death or damage to others. Aminority of the 54 go even beyond carelessness to total irresponsibility.Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be attributed to(归因于) the 55 condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can affect drivers’ reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be 56 . The experts warn that it is 57 for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one’s emotions under control.Yet drivers are not the only ones to blame for the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem. Street walkers 58 break traffic regulations, they are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents; and many cyclists even 59 that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety 60 for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. 61 , speed limits have been lowered. Due to these 62 , the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting 63 , say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task. It 64 constant care and concentration.

They can spend whole days in the library doing nothing but staring into space, eating snacks, surfing the Internet, watching videos and looking at other students sitting around them, who, most likely, are doing nothing either.Paralyzed(使失去活力) by their habit to procrastinate, they write micro blogs about their fears, asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue. But this does nothing to break the spell (魔咒).According to a recent report, 95 percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20 percent of the world’s population are always procrastinating. The figures are disappointing. Procrastinators are less wealthy, l ess healthy and less happy than those who don’t delay. Procrastinators like to find excuses to justify their behavior, but BBC columnist Rowan Pelling says they are all wrong.Many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure. Pelling says this is nonsense, as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time. The behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel ashamed, inconveniences others and annoys loved ones.Pelling also points out that procrastination feels particularly delinquent(过失的)in a society that thinks of speedy action as admirable, and, at times, even as a moral good.Fortunately, social scientists have thrown their weight behind efforts to understand this behavioral mistake and offer strategies to control it. Piers Steel, a Canadian social scientistand author of The Procrastination Equation, believes human is “designed” to procrastinate. Nevertheless, he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand.69. From the first two paragraphs we can learn that _________.A. procrastination is beneficial to many studentsB. many students are under great pressure in their studyC. lots of college students work hard to write good essays on timeD. many students have the habit of delaying finishing their tasks70. Which behavior belongs to procrastination?A. Never dream away the time.B. Always complete the tasks ahead of time.C. Never put off till tomorrow what should be done today.D. Always wait to wor k until the “good mood” or “good time”.71. According to the passage, which of the following statements is not true?A. Procrastination makes people waste their time.B. Procrastinators usually complete their tasks perfectly.C. Speedy action is considered as a moral standard in the society.D. Procrastination is common among people.72. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. Measures to deal with procrastination.B. Approaches to handling the study pressures.C. More examples to illustrate procrastination.D. Introduction to the book The Procrastination Equation.(C)It was 3:45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken. After six months of arguing and final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates, Australia’s Northern Ter ritory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The measure passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on by way of the group’s online service, Death NET. Says Hofsess: “We posted bulletins all day long, because of course this isn’t just something that happened in Australia. It’s world history.”The full import may take a while to sink in. The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law has left physicians and citizens alike trying to deal with its moral and practical implications. Some have breathed sighs of relief, others, including churches, right-to-life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the hurry of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back.In Australia—where an aging population, life-extendingtechnology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia(安乐死). In the US and Canada, where the right-to-die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米诺骨牌) to start falling.Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death — probably by a deadly injection or pill — to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed (诊断) as Terminally Ill by two doctors. After a “cooling off” period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54-year- old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill Law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. “I’m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I’d go, because I’ve watched people die in the hospital fig hting for oxygen and clawing at their masks,” he says.73. Which of the following has the similar meaning to “But the tide is unlikely to turnback.”?A. What happened in Australia can change world history.B. It is impossible to pass the NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law.C. Doctors are allowed by law to take the lives of the ill patients.D. That the Law has been passed probably can’t be changed.74. From the second paragraph we learn that __________.A. the objection to euthanasia is slow to come in other countriesB. physicians and citizens share the same view on euthanasiaC. changing technology is chiefly responsible for the hurry passage of the lawD. it takes time to realize the significance of the law’s passage75. By saying “observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling”, the author means__________.A. observers are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the future of euthanasiaB. similar bills are likely to be passed in the U.S., Canada and other countriesC. observers are waiting to see the result of the game of dominoesD. the effect-taking process of the passed bill may finally come to a stop76. When Lloyd Nickson dies, he will __________.A. face his death with calm characteristic of euthanasiaB. experience the suffering of a lung cancer patientC. have an intense fear of terrible sufferingD. undergo a cooling off period of seven days77. The author’s attitude towards euthanasia seems to be that of __________.A. oppositionB. doubtC. approvalD. anxietySection CDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers’ d esire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environmental reputation was not good enough.Harry Morrison, chief executive of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes:“I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking—we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon emission (排放) has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-ter m benefit for the brand.”Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions. Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to convey clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “When companies are granted the standard, they can use a logo in all their marketing, which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emiss ions,” Mr. Morrison said.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS.)78. According to the passage, what is likely to influence shops on what to sell?79. A company may lose its regular customers unless ______________________.80. According to Harry Morrison, businesses will benefit from __________________.81. According to the last two paragraphs, companies can gain advantages by ____________.第II 卷(共47分)I.

Today,the well-being of the Balkan region remains on her mind.Now Filipovic wants to use her experience to promote peace in a rapidly changing Europe.She hopes that her stories of war will make people listen to her message of peace.66.The underlined word“harrowing”in Paragraph2can best be replaced by“______”.A.desperateB.miserableC.embarrassingD.revolutionary67.What was special about Zlata’s Diary?A.It wrote about war in different languages.B.It was as attractive as the daily news report.C.It helped the world see war through the eyes of a child.D.It made the world know better about the Bosnian conflict.68.It can be learned from the passage that______.A.Zlata was promoting peace with her stories of warB.Zlata’s nose was seriously wounded in the conflictC.Zlata kept her diary a secret until the winter of1993D.Zlata felt relieved after escaping from the war in Sarajevo69.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A.Zlata Filipovic:growing up in warB.Zlata Filipovic:writing against warC.Zlata Filipovic:changing the worldD.Zlata Filipovic:loving peace in heart(B)SERVICE DIRECTORYArtero Hotel◆Check-in TimeCheck in after13:00on the arrival day.◆Check-out TimeCheck out before12:00noon on your departure day.A50%surcharge(额外费)will be imposed if you check out after12:00noon;a100%surcharge will be imposed if you check out after18:00.◆Key CardFor your safety,the key card is NOT transferable.If it is lost,please contact the front desk immediately.Please return your key card to the front desk upon departure.◆Room Number&Telephone NumberRooms have a3-digit number.The first number stands for the floor and the second and third numbers stand for the room number.For example:308refers to room08on the3rd floor.For room-to-room calls,dial8+room number,e.g.8308.To call the room from outside,dial61208308.◆TelevisionTelevision channels have been set up as shown on the TV programme.If you have any problem watching TV,please dial8003.◆Room CleaningWe provide house keeping once in a day.If you want to have your room cleaned at a certain time,please contact house keeping at8001.◆LaundryItems received before10:00will be returned in the afternoon(before15:00)of the next day.If you need urgent service,please dial8002.◆Towels and SlippersPlease do not remove the towels or slippers from your room as towels and slippers are provided at the pool.Do not use the towel for any inappropriate purposes.You will be required to compensate(赔偿)for damages caused by misuse.◆Power SafetyIt is strictly forbidden to dry clothes over lampshades,which may cause afire.PetsPets are not allowed in any parts of the hotel.We thank you for your understanding and cooperation.70.Scott,who is staying in Room609,wants to call his friend in Room815of the same hotel,heshould dial______.A.61208308.B.8609.C.8001.D.8815.71.Mrs.Taylor is staying in Room213and needs to have her clothes washed immediately,sheshould dial______.A.8213.B.8001.C.8002.D.8003.72.Which of the following practice is allowed for the guests in the hotel?A.Keeping the key card after check-out.B.Asking for extra house keeping service.ing the slippers in the room at the pool.D.Walking a pet dog in the garden of the hotel.73.Suppose the accommodation fee for a single room is$100per day and Mr.Brown checkedinto the hotel at21:00on Jan.5th and checked out at15:00on Jan.8th,he should pay______.A.$300.B.$350.C.$400.D.$450.(C)Foreseeing a time when a patient’s own cells may be harvested,multiplied,and fashioned into a replacement organ,researchers in Boston have successfully transplanted laboratory grown bladders(肾)into six dogs.For a century,physicians have replaced diseased or damaged bladders by removing sections of a person’s intestines(肠子)and shaping them into a substitute bladder.While the procedure offers some relief to patients,complications often develop because nature designs intestinal tissue for a purpose—absorbing nutrients—other than holding waste liquid of the body.“You start absorbing stuff that should be removed,”says Anthony Atala of the Children’s Hospital in Boston.Other physicians have turned to human-made materials to create artificial bladders,but those efforts have also run into problems.Consequently,to build a better bladder,Atala and his colleagues decided to employ the organ’s own cells.To turn the cells into an organ,the researchers first form plastic which can break down naturally into bladder-shaped shell.They then coat its outside and inside with layers of cells needed.To test this strategy,Atala’s group obtained bladder tissue from dogs and grew it into organs. After removing the dogs’bladders,the investigators implanted(移植)the artificial ones coming from the dogs’own cells.Within a month,the organs began to perform like normal bladders.Within three months,the plastic shells had broken down naturally,and the implanted organs were hard to distinguish from natural ones.Blood vessels(血管)quickly grew into them.Moreover, nerves seem to form proper connections with the new organs,allowing the dogs to regain normal control of their bladders.Some dogs have had the artificial bladders for nearly a year without any problems.While the bladders of dogs closely resemble those of people,Atala warns that more testing of this transplant strategy must occur before artificial bladders are ready for the clinic.74.The traditional method of shaping parts of intestines into a substitute bladder______.A.brings the patient a lot of sufferingsB.allows the patient to absorb useless thingsC.prevents the patient from absorbing nutrientsD.worsens both the function of the intestines and the bladder75.The artificial bladders implanted in dogs______.A.worked perfectly as long as three monthsB.did not work properly until after a monthC.proved to be able to work for several yearsD.began to work as well as a normal one in a few weeks76.Why is it suggested that more testing should be made?A.Human bladders may well be different from dogs’.B.Dogs’bladders can be implanted into human bodies.C.What suits dogs’bladders will also suit human bladders.D.Artificial bladders grown in dogs can be used for human beings.77.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The history of making artificial bladders.B.The way of turning intestines into bladders.C.The prospect of manufacturing plastic bladders.D.The possibility of making bladders from their own cells.Section CDirections:Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Britain’s youngest iPad addict(有瘾的人)hasn’t even started school yet.That’s right;a four-year-old girl is currently undergoing therapy after becoming addicted to playing games on her iPad.Receiving treatment at the Capio Nightingale Clinic,London,the little girl is said to have become increasingly distressed whenever her parents moved to take the iPad away.Medical help was sought after the girl’s withdrawal symptoms did not improve.Dr.Richard Graham,the girl’s psychiatrist(精神病医生),said:“In the year running up to contacting the clinic,the parents noticed her use of the iPad was increasing.She was using it three to four hours every day and showed increased anxiety if it was removed.”According to Dr.Graham,parents should strive to keep iPads and similar devices out of the reach of infants,believing that:“Children see all the pretty colours and they will want to use it too.”“There are concerns that toys are being replaced by the likes of iPads and smartphones,but children are not at a level of maturity to deal with such advanced technology.They can’t cope and become addicted,reacting with bad temper and uncontrollable behavior when they are taken away. Then as they grow older,the problem only gets worse,”Dr.Graham told The Mirror.The UK’s first technology addiction programme was initiated by Dr.Graham three years ago. It’s designed to deal with those who become annoyed when deprived from their device.Motivation for creating the treatment programme came from a concern over the compulsive qualities of games available on iPads.Dr.Graham worries that this is not the only case of iPad addiction among young ones.It comes just after a five-year-old boy managed to cost his parents£1,700,by purchasing various add-ons for a game on the iPad.(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) 78.The case of the four-year-old girl is given to inform us of _________________________________.79.Why is it easier for children to be addicted to iPads?80.What caused Dr.Graham to launch the UK’s first technology addiction programme?81.One lesson that can be drawn from the passage by parents of infants is that they should ______________________________________________________.第Ⅱ卷(共47分)I.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.1.应该允许孩子们表达他们自己的想法。

This is a very limiting policy. A company that repays employees for all college credit courses—whether job related or not—offers a service not only to the employees, but to the entire company.One good reason for giving employees 42 _____ tuition repayment is that it shows the company’s commitment to its employees. In today’s economy, where job security is a thing of the past and employees feel more and more expendable, it is important for a company to 43 _____ to its employees that it cares. The best way to do this is with concrete 44 _____ in them. In turn, this commitment to the betterment of company employees will create greater employee 45_____. A company that puts out funds to pay for the education of its employees will get its money 46_____ by having employees stay with the company longer. It will reduce employee turnover, because even employees who don’t take advantage of the tuition repayment program will be more loyal to their company just knowing that their company cares 47_____ to pay for their education. Most importantly, the company that has an unrestricted tuition repayment program will have higher quality employees. Although these companies do indeed run the risk of losing money on employees who go on to another job in a different company as soon as they get their 48_____, more often than not, the employee will stay with the company.And even if employees do leave after graduation, it generally takes several years to complete any degree program. Thus, even if the employee leaves upon graduating, throughout those years, the employer will have a more sophisticated, more intelligent, and therefore more valuable and productive employee. And, if the employee stays, that education will 49_____ benefit the company: Not only is the employee more educated, but now that employee can be 50_____ so the company doesn’t have to fill a high-level vacancy from the outside. Open positions can be filled by people who already know the company well. Though unconditional tuition repayment requires a significant investment on the employer’s part, it is perhaps one of the wisest investments a company can make.4 / 10III.

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)Dear Lee,As I told you, I’ll be gone until Wednesday morning. Thank you so much for taking on my “children” while I’m away. Like real children, they can be kind of irritating sometimes, but I’m going to enjoy myself so much more knowing they’re getting some kind human attention. Remember that Regina (the “queen” in Latin, and she acts like one) is teething. If you don’t watch her, she’ll chew anything, including her sister, the cat. There are plenty of chew toys around the house. Whenever she starts gnawing on anything illegal, just divert her with one of those. She generally settles right down to a good hour-long chew. Then you’ll see her wandering around whimpering with the remains of the toy in her mouth. She gets really frustrated because what she wants is to bury the thing. She’ll try to dig a hole between the cushions of the couch. Finding that unsatisfactory, she’ll wander some more, discontent, until you solve her problem for her. I usually show her the laundry basket, moving a few clothes so she can bury her toy beneath them. I do sound like a parent, don’t I? You have to understand, my own son is practically grown up.Regina’s food is the Puppy Chow in the utility room, where the other pet food is stored. Give her a bowl once in the morning and once in the evening. No more than that, no matter how much she begs. Beagles(猎犬) are notorious overeaters, according to her breeder, and I don’t want her to lose her girlish figure. She can share Rex (the King’s) water, but be sure it’s changed daily. She needs to go out several times a day, especially last thing at night and first thing in the morning. Let her stay out for about ten minutes each time, so she can do all her business. She also needs a walk in the afternoon, after which it’s important to romp with her for awhile in the yard. The game she loves most is fetch, but be sure to make her drop the ball. She’d rather play tug of war with it. Tell her, “Sit!” Then, when she does, say, “Drop it!” Be sure to tell her “good girl,” and then throw the ball for her. I hope you’ll enjoy these sessions as much as I do.Now, for the other two, Rex and Paws… (letter continues)66.The tone of this letter is best described as _____.A. chatty and humorousB. logical and preciseC. confident and trustingD. humble and preachy67.The information in the note is sufficient to determine that there are three animals. They are _____.A. two cats and a dogB. three dogsC. a dog, a cat, and an unspecified animalD. a cat, a dog, and a parrot68.From the context of the note, it is most likely that the name “Rex” is _____.A. SpanishB. EnglishC. FrenchD. Latin69.If the sitter is to follow the owner’s directions in playing fetch with Regina, at what point will he or shetell Regina “good girl”?A. Every time Regina goes after the ball.B. After Regina finds the ball.C. When Regina brings the ball back.D. After Regina drops the ball.6 / 10(B)I was born under the Blue Ridge, and under that side which is blue in the evening light, in a wild land of game and forest and rushing waters. There, on the borders of a creek that runs into the Yadkin River, in a cabin that was chinked with red mud, I came into the world a subject of King George the Third, in that part of his realm known as the province of North Carolina.The cabin smelt very strongly of corn-pone and bacon, and the odor of pelts. It had two shakedowns(临时床铺), on one of which I slept under a bearskin. A rough stone chimney was raised outside, and the fireplace was as long as my father was tall. There was a crane in it, and a bake kettle; and over it great buckhorns held my father’s rifle when it was not in use. On other horns hung jerked bear’s meat and venison hams, and gourds for drinking cups, and bags of seed, and my father’s best hunting shirt; also, in a neglected corner, several articles of woman’s clothing. These once belonged to my mother. Among them was a gown of silk, of a fine, faded pattern, which I always wondered. The women at the Cross-Roads, twelve miles away, were dressed in coarse butternut wool and huge sunbonnets. But when I questioned my father on these matters he would give me no answers.My father was—how shall I say what he was? To this day I can only surmise many things of him. He was a Scotchman born, and I know now that he had a slight Scotch accent. At the time of which I write, my early childhood, he was a frontiersman and hunter. I can see him now, with his hunting shirt and leggins (绑腿) and moccasins(莫卡辛鞋); his powder horn, engraved with wondrous scenes; his bullet pouch and tomahawk and hunting knife. He was a tall, lean man with a strange, sad face. And he talked little except when he drank too many “horns,” as they were called in that country. These little bad behaviors of my father’s were a permanent source of wonder to me—and, I must say, of delight. They occurred only when a passing traveler who hit his fancy chanced that way, or, what was almost as rare, a neighbor. Many a winter night I have lain awake under the skins, listening to a flow of language that held me spellbound, though I understood scarce a word of it.“Virtuous(有德行的) and vicious(罪恶的) every man must be,Few in the extreme, but all in a degree.”The chance neighbor or traveler was no less struck with wonder. And many the time have I heard the query, at the Cross-Roads and elsewhere, “Whar Alec Trimble got his larnin’?”70.The mention of the dress in the second paragraph is most likely meant to _____.A. show the similarity between its owner and other members of the communityB. show how warm the climate wasC. show the dissimilarity between its owner and other members of the communityD. give us insight into the way most of the women of the region dressed71.Judging by the sentences surrounding it, the underlined word “surmise” in the third paragraph mostnearly means _____.A. to form a negative opinionB. to praiseC. to desireD. to guess72.Why did the narrator enjoy it when his father drank too many “horns,” or drafts of liquor?A. The father spoke brilliantly at those times.B. The boy was then allowed to do as he pleased.7 / 10C. These were the only times when the father was not abusive.D.

Director Leah Martin announced Monday that beginning in September, three new classes will be offered to the Allendale community. The course titles will be Yoga for Teenagers; Hip Hop Dance: Learning the Latest Moves; and Creative Journaling for Teens: Discovering the Writer Within. The latter course will not be held at the Allendale Cultural Center but instead will meet at the Allendale Public Library.Staff member Tricia Cousins will teach the yoga and hip hop classes. Ms. Cousins is an accomplished choreographer (舞蹈教师) as well as an experienced dance educator. She has an MA in dance education from Teachers College, Columbia University, where she wrote a thesis on the pedagogical(教学法的) effectiveness of dance education. The journaling class will be taught by Betsy Milford. Ms. Milford is the head librarian at the Allendale Public Library as well as a columnist for the professional journal Library Focus.The courses are part of the Allendale Cultural Center’s Project Teen, which was initiated by Leah Martin, Director of the Cultural Center. According to Martin, this project is a direct result of her efforts to make the center a more essential part of the Allendale community. Over the last several years, the number of people who have visited the cultural center for classes or events has steadily declined. Project Teen is primarily funded by a generous grant from The McGee Arts Foundation, an organization devoted to bringing arts programs to young adults. Martin oversees the Project Teen board, which consists of five board members. Two board members are students at Allendale’s Brookdale High School; the other three are adults with backgrounds in education and the arts.The creative journaling class will be cosponsored by Brookdale High School, and students who complete the class will be given the opportunity to publish one of their journal entries in Pulse, Brookdale’s student literary magazine. Students who complete the hip hop class will be eligible to participate in the Allendale Review, an annual concert sponsored by the cultural center that features local actors, musicians, and dancers. All classes are scheduled to begin immediately following school dismissal, and transportation will be available from Brookdale High School to the Allendale Cultural Center and the Allendale Public Library. For more information about Project Teen, contact the cultural center’s programming office at 988-0099 or drop by the office after June 1 to pick up a fall course catalog. The office is located on the third floor of the Allendale Town Hall.74.Which of the following statements is correct?A. Tricia Cousins will teach two of the new classes.8 / 10B.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Automation refers to the introduction of electronic control and automatic operation of productive machinery. It reduces the human factors, mental and physical, in production, and is designed to make possible the manufacture of more goods with fewer workers. The development of automation in American industry has been called the “Second Industrial Revolution”.Labour’s concern over automation arises from uncertainty about the effects on employment, and fears of major changes in jobs. In the main, labour has taken the view that resistance to technical change is unfruitful. Eventually, the result of automation may well be an increase in employment, since it is expected that vast industries will grow up around manufacturing, maintaining, and repairing automation equipment. The interest of labour lies in bringing about the transition with a minimum of inconvenience and distress to the workers involved. Also, union spokesmen emphasize that the benefit of the increased production and lower costs made possible by automation should be shared by workers in the form of higher wages, more leisure, and improved living standards.To protect the interests of their members in the era of automation, unions have adopted a number of new policies. One of these is the promotion of supplementary unemployment benefit plans. It is emphasized that since the employer involved in such a plan has a direct financial interest in preventing unemployment, he will have a strong drive for planning new installations so as to cause the least possible problems in jobs and job assignments. Some unions are working for dismissal pay agreements, requiring that permanently dismissed workers be paid a sum of money based on length of service. Another approach is the idea of the “improvement factor”, which calls for wage increases based on increases in productivity.9 / 10It is possible, however, that labour will rely mainly on reduction in working hours in order to gain a full share in the fruits of automation. (in no more than 8 words)78.Automation makes it possible to ________________________________________.79.At first, two things people worried about automation were ____________________________.80.According to union spokesmen, the workers benefit from automation in terms of________________________________________________________.81.What is the last passage mainly talking about?________________________________.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in No More Than Ten Words.)第II 卷I.

整体试题难度体现了良好的阶梯性,由简至难,除第五句中如何翻译出购物狂稍有难度,其他翻译题都保持在中等难度,只要能掌握基本句式难度就不太大了。
1 我习惯睡前听点轻音乐。
(accustomed)【解析】本题主要考察词组be accustomed to doing,只要对词组掌握良好,根据语序就可以按部就班的翻译出句子。
2 将来过怎样的生活取决于你自己。
(be up to)【解析】本题考察名词性从句当中的主语从句,整体句子结构相对比较简单,正是我们平时口语当中的it’s up to you.难点就在于正确翻译从句部分。
首先从句是用what来引导,同时注意从句保持陈述语序;其次需要注意词汇的积累,过着…生活词组表达是lead/ live a … life。
3 没有什么比获准参加太空旅行项目更令人兴奋的了。
(than)【解析】本题考查比较级, 难度较前两句稍有增加,主要难点在于:一、合理安排句子结构,要用比较级表示最高级,此考点的重点就在于使用比较级的同时要搭配否定,表达出“没有…更…“来表达最高级的意思;二、同意 approve 这个词搭配的介词 of,同时要注意介词后面要加动名词,相应地enter for 参加要改成 entering for 。
4家长嘱咐孩子别在河边嬉戏,以免遭遇不测。
(for fear)【解析】此题考察重点就在于嘱咐和遭遇不测嘱咐: ask或者tell即可\在河边应该翻译成by the river,需要注意介词的选择;由于题目给出的词组是for fear,fear作为名词,可以直接在后面加of,所以遭遇不测这个动词词组可以名词化,翻译成for fear of accident.5.虽然现代社会物资丰富,给与消费者更多的选择,但也使不少人变成购物狂。

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)To be a successful speaker is no easy thing. It is essential for you to know why you are speaking and 25 you wish to accomplish by your speech. The four most common purposes of speech are to inform, to convince, to move to action, and to entertain. Do you, like a teacher or an expert in a field, wish to illustrate your ideas in detail to people unfamiliar with your subject 26 they can understand your ideas clearly and thoroughly? Or, like a debater, wish to convince the judges or the audience? Or, like a fund collector for a naturalist foundation, wish to get money? Or, like a comedian or after-dinner speaker, wish to entertain? The language and tone you use 27 be proper for your purpose, for your audience, and for the occasion. A speech to the graduating class will have quite different language, tone and manner from information 28 (deliver) to a group of your friends.Furthermore, 29 talented the speaker is, a talk without enough preparation is usually 30 failure. To speak without preparing is to shoot without taking aim. Decide what your aim or objective is; then state it in a complete topic sentence. Make sure that your subject 31 (be) definite and not too broad. zhucanqi(B)DC Hilton was one of the first Americans to find out that there was money to be made in the middle of the night. 47 years ago he bought a small restaurant on US highway 69, in Oklahoma. His main customers were truck drivers and traveling salesmen who drank coffee and ate cheeseburgerswhen they stopped 32 (break) their journey.It was they 33 first tried to persuade Hilton to remain open all night. 34 (think) about it for a while, he suddenly made up his mind. He took the door key and threw it across the road. He hasn‟t closed the door ever since.Over the years his simple burger café has been expanded 35 a 24-hour roadside empire, with a 100-seat restaurant, a petrol station, a mini shopping market, a car park for mobile homes and all-night self-help laundry.Hilton was a pioneer in a 24-hour working trend, 36 has now caught on around the world. Today not only restaurants but also banks, supermarkets, mail-order firms, travel agencies and many other businesses are beginning to be open all night. But is this really a good thing?So far, a lot of research 37 (do) in America on the effect of 24-hour working, and there is growing concern about the long-term dangers of a society that doesn‟t sleep. Americans are said to be sleeping 20% less than 38 did 100 years ago, and 55% claim to suffer at least occasionally from over-tiredness. Several of the 39 (bad) man-made disasters happened in the last few hours before dawn, when even the most experienced night-worker has difficulty 40 (stay) awake.Section BDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only beThere is a tendency to think of each of the arts as a separate area of activity. Many artists, however, would prove that there has always been a warm relationship between the 41 areas of human activity. For example, in the late nineteenth century the connections between music and painting were 42 close. zhucanqi Artists were invited to design clothes and settings for operas and ballets, but sometimes it was the musicians who were inspired by the work of 43 painters. Of the musical compositions that were considered as responses to the visual arts, perhaps the most famous is Mussorgsky‟s Pictures at an Exhibition.Mussorgsky 44 the piece in 1874 after the death, at the age of 39, of the artist Victor Hartmann. Though their friendship had not been a particularly long-lasting one, Mussorgsky was shocked by Hartmann‟s45 death. The following year the critic, Vladimir Stasov, who decided to hold an exhibit ion of Hartmann‟s work, suggested that Mussorgsky try to46 his grief by writing something in 47 of Hartmann.The exhibition served as Mussorgsky‟s inspiration. The ten pieces that make up Pictures at an Exhibition are 48 as symbols rather than representations of the paintings in the exhibition. Between each is a promenade (舞曲中的行进), as the composer walks from one painting to another. The music is sometimes witty and playful, sometimes almost alarming and frightening. Through a range of surprising 49 , Mussorgsky manages to 50 the spirit of the artist and his work.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.The term home schooling means educating children at home or in places other than a normal setting such as a public or private school. These days, homeschooling in America is 51 .Teaching methods at homeschooling 52 . Some parents follow a strict timetable and 53 a traditional school environment. Other parents follow an extreme form of homeschooling in which they do not give grades or tests and allow their children to study wherever they want. More parents, however, follow the middle 54 to provide a balance between freedom and discipline.Why do parents choose homeschooling? Some believe that children in public schools experience too much “peer pressure”, or social pressure from friends. They say it may have a 55 effect on the child‟s studies. Other parents are dissatisfied with the quality of education in the public school. About half the parents who teach at home are 56 motivated and use lessons by mail or Internet from church schools. Whatever the 57 may be, it is evident that more and more children are being taken out of normal schools every year. 58 , many questions have emerged, encouraging the debate over home schooling against public schooling.What then is the future of education? Although children often learn well at home, weak regulations in most states mean that officials rarely challenge or 59 parents who say they are home-schooling. As the 60 continues, so do the questions about what home schoolers are studying at home. How can parents ensure that their children are prepared academically for college? How are home schoolers 61 to make sure they are getting the same educational standards that school students must have? Recent studies in the United States have shown that homeschooled children tend to be slightly better in subjects like English and art, but they are obviously less 62 math and science. Finally, there are questions regarding the children‟s emotional development. Are they too 63 their fellow students? Are they 64 the opportunity to get the social benefits of being in a large classroom of students? As with any debatable issue, the answers to these questions are never 65 .51. A. disappearing B. reducing C. contributing D. rising52. A. vary B. last C. exist D. work53. A. imitate B. alter C. promote D. neglect54. A. instructions B. path C. technique D. standard55.

A. creating B. grasping C. awaiting D. losing65. A. acceptable B. informative C. one-sided D. practicalSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)“It seems likely that a caged elephant would miss the wilderness it was born into.” a six-year study revealed.British and Canadian scientists studied 4,500 elephants in European zoos and compared them with elephants living in the wild. They found that wild elephants are healthier, live longer and reproduce more than those elephants in zoos.Wh en it comes to living in a zoo, “many species do well but elephants don‟t,” said Georgia Mason, one of the researchers of the study. Many animals live longer in zoos than they do in the wild. This isn‟t surprising when you consider that zoo animals are not threatened by predators (掠食者), always have plenty to eat, P.F. Productions and have professionals on hand to care for them.When it comes to elephants, however, the situation is different. The world‟s largest land animals live much longer in the wild than they do in zoos.Female African elephants born in zoos live on average for 17 years, while those in the wild make it to 56. “So far,” says Mason, “We‟ve got 300 African elephants in zoos in Europe, and not one‟s yet reached 50.”Asian elephants are the more endangered of the two elephant species. They live for about 19 years in captivity (圈养) compared to 42 years in the wild. A few wild Asian elephants have even made it into their 70s. In Kenya, 30 to 50 percent of wild elephants reach 50 years of age.Fatness and stress are likely causes for the giant land animals‟ early death in capti vity, Mason said.The researchers say that zoos do not offer enough space for animals that can travel as far as 48 kilometers a day. Too little exercise and too much food means captive elephants put on extra weight. The weight gain can lead to heart disease and other health problems.Being “caged” is bad for health, not only for elephants, but also for humans. Be careful not to become a “caged elephant”!66. Many animals live longer in zoos owing to the following reasons EXCEPT that ________.A. they are far away from the danger of being eaten.B. they can be in a better mood there.C. they needn‟t worry about their food at all.D. they are taken good care of.67. Which of the following may probably result in the early death of elephants in zoos?A. Stress and lack of delicious food.B. Loneliness and little space for activities.C. Lack of delicious food and enough exercise.D. Being stressed and over weight.68. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Zoos are not suitable for animals to live in.B. None of the animals live well in zoos due to lack of exercise.C. Compared with the elephants in zoos, wild elephants are healthier.D. Asian elephants can live longer than African elephants in zoos.69. What is the passage mainly about?A. The living conditions of animals in the world are worsening.B. Elephants can live a longer time in the wild than in zoos.C. All of us should take actions to protect wild elephants.D. The places where wild elephants live are being damaged seriously.(B)Friends Membership Card THE HAMILTON PLAYHOUSE00136789Valid until 23 May 2013Name: Miss E. M.

Psychologists view the subject either as a matter of failure or a joke. Now the biologists have moved into this field, and some of them have found that there are real differences between the brains of men and women. But being different, they point out hurriedly, is not the same as being better or worse.There is, however, a definite structural variation between the male and female brain. The difference is in a part of the brain that is used in the most complex intellectual processes—the link between the two halves of the brain.The two halves are linked by a trunkline (主干线) of between 200 and 300 million nerves, the corpus callosum. Scientists have found quite recently that the corpus callosum in women is always larger and probably richer in nerve fibres (纤维) than it is in men. This is the first time that a structural difference has been found between the brains of women and men and it must have some significance. The question is “What?”, and if this difference exists, are there others? Research shows that present-day women think differently and behave differently from men. Are some of these differences biological and inborn, a result of evolution? We tend to think that is the influence of society that produces these differences. But could we be wrong?Research showed that these two halves of the brain had different functions, and that the corpus callosum enabled them to work together. The better the connections, the more harmoniously the two halves work. Usually, women have the better connections.But it isn‟t all that easy to explain the actual differences between the ski lls of men and women on this basis. In schools throughout the world girls tend to be better than boys at “language subjects” and boys better at math. If these differences correspond (相符合) with the differences in the trunkline, there is an unchangeable distinction between the sexes.We shan‟t know for a while, partly because we don‟t know of the exact relationship between abilities in school subjects and the functioning of the two halves of the brain. And we cannot understand how the two halves interact through the corpus callosum. But one thing is certain:nothing in our world is still—even scientific thought.74. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Biologists are doing research where psychologists have given up.B. Brain differences point to advantage of one sex over the other.C. The structural difference in the brain between the sexes has long been known.D. The brain difference is the only difference between the sexes.75. According to the passage, it is commonly believed that brain differences are caused by ________factors.A. biologicalB. psychologicalC. physicalD. social76. The expression of “these differences” refers to those in ________.A. skills of men and womenB. school subjectsC. the brain structure of men and womenD. learning habits77. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To discuss the various factors that cause brain differences.B. To explain the link between sex and brain structure.C. To suggest new areas in brain research.D. To indicate the many differences between the sexes.Section CDirections:Read the following passage and then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.You are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia‟s fast-food generation. Dr. Chwang, director of the Department of Food Nutrition, says children are consuming more meat and soft drinks. That is a thorough departure from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice an d little meat. “They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink. So although they may eat the same volume of food, their calorie intake (卡路里摄入量) has increased. Now about 40 to 45 percent of their calories come from fat,” says Chwang.Although on the w hole Asians tend towards thinness, Asians‟ hospitality(好客)is the first and foremost reason for the fatness of today‟s generation, according to Chwang. “Asian people love food,” she says. “Eating and drinking are important social and family functions.” In t he past, however, big meals were only hosted on special occasions as people were more careful with money. In today‟s climate of wealth and remarkable consumption, 10-course meals are no longer reserved for significant occasions.Needless to say, that child ren are being spoilt by their parents is another cause of children‟s overweight. More than anyone else, children are on the receiving end of their parents‟ improved circumstances. “In the past, people had four or more children —now, they have one or two, so they tend to spoil them,” says Chwang. “The easiest way is to give them …quality food‟. Parents think feeding them well is showing their love. They feel bad when their children look thin.”When describing the physical condition of most overweight Asian children, Chwang says: “There is a clear relationship between fatness and indoor play children spend too much time on. Children get fat because they don‟t move, and eventually, they don‟t want to move because they‟refat. Thanks to technology, a growing army of children prefer video games to old outdoor sports. “What do children do when watching TV or sitting in front of the computer playing video games? They eat chocolate and drink Coke,” P.F. Productions says Chwang.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)78. Despite the same volume of food, children take in more calories due to ________.79. Thanks to ________, big meals nowadays are no longer enjoyed on special occasions.80. Why do some parents feel bad when their children look thin?81. According to Dr. Chwang, what are the three factors causing Asian children‟s overweight today?第II卷(共47分)I.

After listening, the participants were asked to remember the sequence. But only one group chewed gum – and they had higher accuracy rates and faster reaction times than the non-gum chewers. Those chewing gum also maintained focus longer during the exercise.The researchers say that gum increases the flow of oxygen to regions of the brain responsible for attention. More oxygen can keep people alert. Research also shows that you won’t get the same effect by just pretending to chew gum.So the next time your mind is wandering in class, maybe try some gum. If it doesn’t help you concentrate, you’ll at least be asked to leave.(Now listen again) Questions:11.What’s the passage mainly about? (A)12.What are participants asked to do after listening to the recording? (B)13.How can people improve attention and focus?

Ridge W., Fire Chief Doug Starkey said.Upon arrival, firefighters found a fully involved garage fire and flames and smoke coming out of the second floor of the house.―The roof of the house was burning off,‖ he said.No one was injured.A pet dog was inside the house at the time, but escaped without injury, Starkey said.―We made entry into the first floor of the house and tried to save some of the homeowner’s possessions,‖ he said. ―Overall, it was a total loss.‖Firefighters did not bring the fire under control until about 2:30 p.m. Madison, Harpersfield and Saybrook fire departments provided assistance in battling the house fire, which was exceptionally difficult in the bitter cold, firefighters said.Although it has not been confirmed, it appears the fire started in the area of the garage, Starkey said.Firefighters did not clear the scene until 4:45 p.m..(Now listen again)Questions:14.

But we really don’t know anything about starting a business.W: It sounds like a business plan would help you.M: I have a business plan. I just told you—I’m going to make apps.W: No, no, Ben.

Actually I’m more worried about the financial aspects of starting a business.W: Your business plan should predict your operational costs and the profit.M: That would be a good indicator of how feasible my business idea is.W: Right. The other thing is that you will need a business plan if you are going to attract investors or get business loans.M: All right, but how do I set about writing a business plan?W: There are plenty of online resources to help you. Most libraries also have books that walk you through the steps of writing a plan.M: Thank you for your advice.(Now listen again)17. International 18. Sydney 19.

Through group shopping, it would be easier for them to promote their products and get more sales. It is also a good way to establish their brand in the market. It is also beneficial for buyers because of the cheaper deals that they can enjoy. So even if they have a tight budget, money would not be a problem any more.Consumers considering a purchase from group buying website should be aware of what goods and services are being offered and what is not included in the deal;check the terms and conditions of sales on group buying websites carefully; check with the website to see if they can get the money back in case the service provider goes out of business.There is still great market demand for online group buying, though a large number of companies began to enter the market causing a big bubble in the industry. As soon as the ―bubble‖ bursts, the group buying business model will definitely undergo relatively healthy development.Questions:14. What does the passage mainly talk about? (C)15.
