For her, riding the most aggressive roller coaster in the park is not a big deal. If all goes according to her plans, NASA will send her to Mars in 2033, making her the first human to step foot on the planet. She will spend two to three years doing something on it, growing food, performing science experiments, and searching for signs of life. "The Martian is actually very accurate, " she said. "A lot of the things that happened in the movie are similar to what is going to happen. " She's devoted her entire life to preparing for this journey.Her love for space started when she was 3 years old and watched a cartoon called The Backyardigans. Five animal pals go on imaginary adventures in their backyard including in one part, a mission to Mars. "I thought 'This red planet is so cool, ' " she said. "I started watching videos of rovers' landing on Mars. I had a large map of Mars in my room I would look at. We started getting telescopes so we could look at space."At 7 her father took her to space camp in Huntsville, Alabama. "That was the weekend of my life, " she said. "I got to learn everything I had been wanting to know and more… I got to see a life-size rocket. " She cherished the rocket so much that she returned 18 times. At the age of 12 she became the first person in history to attend all three NASA space camps in Huntsville, Alabama; Quebec, Canada; and Izmir, Turkey.At first she mastered the basics of space and how humans have explored it throughout time. As she got older she simulated（模拟）missions, trying to reach a destination in gravity-free, weightless zones.When she was 9 she met NASA astronaut Sandra Magnus. The experienced explorer told her she was her age when she decided to go to space. At that moment Alyssa knew her love of space was not a passing hobby, "I did the same thing as other kids, like switching my mind; about careers, wanting to be a teacher or the president one day, " she said. "But the way I always thought about it was I would become an astronaut, go to Mars, come back, and then be a teacher or the president."(1) Alyssa Carson is great because.A. she has created model missions to the MarsB. she is the youngest to have completed astronaut trainingC. she is likely to be the first human to perform different tasks on the MarsD. she has visited the space camp in Huntsville, Alabama for nearly twentie times(2) NASA astronaut Sandra Magnus was mentioned in the last paragraph tostress.A. the power of space dreamB. the popularity of space travelC. the importance of career choiceD. the excitement of her space experiences(3) What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A. To introduce American space industry.B. To promote the values of American teens.C. To encourage tours to the Mars.D. To present a rising American space star.2、【来源】 2019年浙江高三一模（B篇）第24~26题7.5分2019年浙江宁波镇海区宁波市镇海中学高三一模（B篇）第24~26题7.5分(每题2.5分)2019年浙江高三上学期高考模拟（B篇）第24~26题7.5分Humans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr. Jean-Loud Rault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companions are coming: robot pets."Technology is moving very fast, " Rault told ABC News. "The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot."This may not TAL#NBSP sit well with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it:" You don't have to feed it, you don't have to walk it, it won't make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty." The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals.It's not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that we can bond with these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories. It's the same with robots. When stony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014, owners in Japan held funerals.As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitude towards live animals, "If we become used to a robotic companion that doesn't need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings, " he said.So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up with living and breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets needn't have a heartbeat might not be a far-fetched dream.(1) What does the underlined phrase “sit well with" means?A. Be refused by.B. Be beneficial to.C. Make a difference to.D. Receive support from.(2) What are the advantages of robot pets?a. They are plastic and feel smooth.b. Owners needn't worry about them when going out.c. They can help cure allergies.d.

Trees, flowers, birds and butterflies make the whole country look like a big garden. However, many British people have noticed that butterflies have been gradually disappearing from this picturesque scenery during the past several years. What has happened to them?Butterfly Conservation, a charity in the UK, is running a survey to help answer this question. The result is more serious than people expected. According to the survey, among 59 butterfly species found in the British Isles, more than three﹣quarters of them are suffering a declining population, including the most popular Meadow Brown. Moreover, half of all butterfly species are dying out.Some common species such as the small Tortoiseshell butterfly and the Wall butterfly are dropping sharply. The latter cannot even be seen in many parts of central and southern England. And the Blue butterfly, which was commonly seen in the south, has started settling in Edinburgh in the past few years.The numbers of butterflies have dropped to a record low in the past three years largely because the summer in the UK is getting cooler and their living conditions are also degrading. Fortunately Britain is experiencing a long hot summer this year compared to the last few summers. Conservationists believe the warm weather will bring some benefit to the butterflies.Sir David Attenborough, president of Butterfly Conservation, said, "Butterflies in abundance tell us that all is well with nature. When they decline it's a warning that other wildlife will be soon heading the same way. "The survey is still going on. The public is also encouraged to keep track of the UK's butterfly population. The organizers hope the survey will help raise public awareness of the value of butterflies in the UK.(1) The survey conducted by Butterfly Conservation has found that.A. the UK butterflies enjoy a cool climateB. the UK butterflies prefer settling in the northC. the number of the UK butterflies is decreasingD. butterflies make the British summer more attractive(2) How does the writer support the findings of the survey in Paragraph 3?A. By listing examples.B. By providing data.C. By giving explanations.D. By making comments.(3) What can we tell from the number of butterflies?A. How the weather will change.B. Whether nature is in a healthy state.C. Where other wildlife will be moving.D. Why their living conditions are degrading.(4) Butterfly Conservation expects their survey to.A. warn people to care more about the change of weatherB. keep the charity running more smoothly than ever beforeC. help the British government protect nature and the environmentD. strengthen people's understanding of the importance of butterflies二、七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）4、【来源】 2019年浙江高三一模第31~35题10分2018年浙江金华高三一模第31~35题10分(每题2分)Many universities have carried out a requirement of studying abroad in order that students can receive a degree. Actually you will realize that traveling itself is an education.1Sitting in history is BORING. Honestly, I'd rather have to take chemistry than listen to a history professor go on and on and on about a civilization or some people I don't careabout.2When I studied abroad in Germany, I made a lot of connections to history that I had learned about previously. Being there, where events actually took place, was cooler than looking at pictures on a Power Point slide.3If you study abroad and have to travel with a classmate, I guarantee you'll be able to identify some areas for improvement. I can remember multiple instanced where I identified that I needed to become a better communicator. Having the experience of traveling will give you so many more perspective on life.If you feel like you haven't exactly defined your identity, leave your home country for a semester or longer. I can guarantee that you'll come back with a better handle on who you are and what you have to offer the world.4In those five weeks, I learned more about who I am and what I represent than the previous year I had spent on my home campus.You'll return home with new found appreciation for your life and the opportunities you're been given. After I traveled around Europe, I came home so much more thankful to go to a university with comfortablehousing.5I could' have been happier to share a bathroom with 59 other 18- to 22-year-old girls. I couldn't have been happier to get up for my 8 a.m. coursed.A. But when you travel, history comes to life.B. Here are some reasons why you should consider traveling to enhance your learning.C. When you travel, you'll have to learn a different way of living.D. I had such deepened appreciation for what I had been given.E. I found out so many things about myself when I was in Germany.F.

浙江省杭州市七县(市、区)2018-2019学年高二上学期期末检测英语试题
浙江省杭州市七县（市、区）2018-2019学年高二上学期期末检测英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Scott Halley was a farmer...until a year ago. But the farm kept losing money. “You look at the numbers at the end of the pencil.” said Mr. Halley, 44, “and you realize it’s time to try something different.”With a heavy heart but a clear head, Mr. Halley became one of the thousands of American farmers who sell their land each year. What surprised Mr. Halley and others is that the move to the city was so easy. The farmers are finding jobs and their families are enjoying the city way of life.Mr. Halley found a good job working as a scientist at North Dakota State University. His salary is now twice what it was when he was a farmer.But even for those farmers who find good jobs, there is a price to pay in leaving farming.“It’s not just about making money but about the other rewards that farming can bring...working land your parent’s parents worked, spending your days in nature, caring for animals,” said Dr Michael Rosmann, a farmer and psychologist who helps farmers. “For most of them, that pain lasts for the rest of their lives. To make the decision to quit farming, to do what’s best for the family, takes an awful lot of courage.” Mr. Halley feels the pull of the land every day. Once a week, he drives eight hours to work a small piece of his old farm.It was hard to leave, but Mr. Halley knows he did the right thing. For most families that leave the land, salary goes up and the stress from having little money goes down. Both parents and children are happier.Halley’s children love living in the city.“The kids don’t want to go back now,” said Mr. Halley. “The telephone never stops ringing.”Megan Halley, 13, spoke with excitement about her new school. She especially likes art and computer technology. “Back on the farm,” she said. “the old phone system took five minutes or more just to dail up the Internet.”“It’s cool here,” said Megan. “She loves going to the nearby mall to shop for new clothes and get the latest CDs of her favorite group.” The closest store to the Halley’s farm was a10-mile drive.Before moving to the city, Megan worried about getting along with city kids.“The boys here aren’t any different than back in the country,” she said, “There’s just a lot more of them.”1．Why Mr. Halley decide to quit farming one year ago?A．He didn’t like farming any longer.B．He found a more satisfactory job in the city.C．He can hardly make money to support his family.D．It is not so convenient to live on the farm.2．Why does Mr. Halley drive back to his old farm once a week？A．To keep his connection to the land.B．To appreciate the beautiful scenery. C．To do a part-time job to earn more money.D．To relax himself from work. 3．According to Megan, what words can be used to describe the life in the country? A．Comfortable and peaceful.B．Inconvenient and boring.C．Easy and worthwhile.D．Busy and meaningful.US food author M.F. K. Fisher once wrote about humans, “First we eat, then we do everything else.”This is why each year we celebrate World Food Day, which falls on Oct. 16. But despite the importance of food around the world, food cultures often differ greatly from country to country. For example, things like chicken feet, duck heads, and pig brains are commonly eaten in Asia. If you asked most Westerners to try one of these things, though, the very thought would probably be enough to make them give up meat altogether.At the same time, however, the majority of people in Western nations regard themselves as meat eaters. So, what could be the reason behind this double standard?There are a number of possible answers to that question, yet one major reason could lie in recent cultural changes. During the mid-20th century and the years following it, eating most parts of an animal was common in many Western countries such as the UK—perhaps owing to rationing(定量配给) as a result of World War(1939-1945).But later, during the 1960s and 70s, following the introduction of highways in the US and the UK, the popularity of supermarkets in those countries increased, wrote Francesco Burnett, author of Cultural History of Meat: 1900-The Present.Thanks to the popularity and convenience of supermarkets which tend not to sell animal parts such as the head or limbs(四肢), the public’s attitude of meat soon shifted. “The ‘animal’ gradually disappeared from meat, and people’s ignorance about what animal the meat they ate came from increased.” Burnett added.As a result, it’s believed that many Western cultures slowly began to view meat as simply a food product, rather than as something that came from an animal.However, this theory may go even further back if we look at the words the English language uses to describe meat. “We ‘de-animalize’ certain foods that we eat by giving them different names,” Hal Herzog, author of Why It’s So Hard To Think Straight About Animals, told online magazine Grist. “We don’t say it’s cooked pig; we say it’s pork. And we don’t say hamburger is made of cow; we say it’s made of beef.”So it seems that there’s not one simple answer to this question. When it comes to eating meat, however, perhaps we should simply just enjoy the taste.4．The main purpose of the first three paragraphs is to ________.A．introduce various food culturesB．stress Westerners’ love for foodC．show differences in Chinese and Western food culturesD．draw attention to Westerners ‘de-animalizing’ meat5．What changed people’s attitudes toward meat in the 1960s and 1970s?A．The words used to describe meat.B．The rise of supermarkets.C．The need for a healthier lifestyle.D．The introduction of highways. 6．What does the underlined word “ignorance” mean in Paragraph 6？A．Blindness.B．Fear.C．Misunderstanding.D．Challenging.What makes a human being? Is it our thoughts? Our emotions? Our behavior?All of these things make us who we are, but at the center of the matter is the genome(基因组) the genes inside our bodies that may determine everything from our hair color to our intelligence. But if we could change our genome, what would it mean to us?In an online video posted on Nov. 26, He Jiankui, a biological researcher from Southern University of Science and Technology in China, said that he had helped to make the world’s first genetically edited babies.These are twin girls, born in November, with genes edited in an attempt to help them resist possible future infection with the AIDS virus.He said that he chose to do this because HIV infections are a big problem in China. “I feel such a strong responsibility that it’s not just to make a first, but also to set an example,” He told the Associated Press(AP).The announcement has caused an international storm.Some believe that success will benefit the families of HIV patients. Given that HIV is “a major and growing public health threat,” attempted gene editing for HIV is “justifiable(无可非议的),” Harvard Medical School genetics professor George Church told AP.However, others think that since gene editing technology is still premature, it is unsafe to attempt it.“Gene editing itself is experimental and is still associated with unexpected mutations(突变), capable of causing genetic problems early and later in life, including the development of cancer.” Julian Savulescu, a specialist in ethics(伦理学) at the University of Oxford, told BBC News.Others fear that this could open the door to using gene editing technology to make designer babies. It might give the parents the options to choose everything from their baby’s eye color to intelligence.“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest ‘upgrades’(升级) for their children, leading to even greater inequality than we already live with,” Marcy Darnovsky, director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics, told BBC News.However, Merlin Crossley, a biologist at the University of New South Wales, Australia, believes that’s a long way off . According to him, many genes produce qualities like height and intelligence—not to mention environmental influences.And he believes the technology will be better controlled in the future.“It’s hard to get genies(妖怪) back into bottles... but I’m optimistic that this technology, which I think of as ‘genetic surgery’, could be regulated quite effectively in the future,” Crossley told BBC News.7．According to the passage, which of the four statements is correct?A．The twin girls with genes edited will not be infected with AIDS.B．He Jiankui found a way to cure people of AIDS.C．The genetically edited babies have aroused a heated debate.D．It makes no sense to edit genes.8．Who shares the same idea with Julian Savulescu?A．He Jiankui.B．George Church.C．Merlin Crossley.D．Marcy Darnovsky.9．What can we infer from the underlined sentence “that’s a long way off”?A．People will finally accept gene editing, but it takes time.B．In the future gene editing will surely benefit people.C．It will take a long time before gene editing succeeds.D．There is much research to do on gene editing.10．Which is the most suitable title for the passage？A．Gene Editing: A Trend for the FutureB．Is Gene Editing the Way we should Go？C．Can Gene Editing Free People of Future Diseases？D．Gene Editing: Genies out of Bottles二、七选五Finishing my high school life in Canada, I started classes at the University of Toronto at the beginning of September and soon I found that there are lots of differences between Canadian high schools and universities.____11____ Although high schools in Canada also need students to choose courses by themselves, most of the students have the same compulsory (必修的) classes, and the options (选择) are quite limited. For university students, almost everyone has different classes, as the classes one takes depend on one’s major. ____12____ There are hundreds of majors that students can choose from, and each major has at least three or four compulsory classes each year. Do the math and you’ll be surprised by how many options students have.Each class has a maximum student number, usually between 100 to 300.____13____The university will assign (分派) a certain time for students to select classes on the course-enrolling website. So everything depends on one’s luck and fortune.Even if a student doesn’t successfully enroll in the classes that he or she wants, they can still be on the waitlist. If someone drops a class, another student will automatically (自动地) be enrolled (注册). ____14____Usually, there are two parts to most classes, the lecture and the tutorial (辅导课). Lectures usually have more than 100 students, and the instructors are the professors. For tutorials, they’re always run by teacher assistants, usually master’s or PhD students. Tutorials contain at most 30 students, and that’s where quizzes and discussions take place.____15____ For instance, my philosophy professor asks us to finish one book every week, which is the hardest thing for me to do right now.A．Take my university for example.B．To me, the biggest difference is the course selection system.C．There is a saying that goes, “If you are at ease with yourself in the world, the world will be at ease with you.”D．The biggest challenge for a freshman in Canada is how to get on well with the teacher assistants.E．Since universities in Canada have a longer summer holiday, the semesters are quite short, which means the progress of the class is very fast.F．The limited number of students means that some students may not be enrolled in the classes that they want to get into.G．Therefore, the university suggests that everyone should have a plan B in case something goes wrong.三、完形填空In my younger years, my mother gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in myAfter chatting for only 20 minutes, our friendship took ____24____.

She s aid, “When there was no one else to reach out to, I knew I could turn to the s taff at the Boys & Girls Club. Without the Club, I wouldn’t have had the strength to continue my studies while my family was homeless. I have come to think of the Boys & Girls Club as not only a place to go to after school, but a shelter anda home away from home.“Cassy is incredibly hard-working and driven,”said Meghan Sweet, Director of Wallin gford Boys &Girls Club. “Sh e won’t let her challenges get in the way of her succ ess. The Club has provided her with a second home, while she in turn has helped m ake the Club the type of warm, welcoming place we strive to provide for all our members. The world needs more young women like Cassy, who prove that anyone who is given a place and an opportunity to develop their potential can become a community leader.”Cassy values the voices of individuals who are homeless. She herself has experienced homelessness, and wants to share real stories of the homeless to promote people’s understanding of them. She co-founded a student organization where she and other st udents interview homeless individuals and share their stories on a Facebook page call ed “The Unheard Voices of Seattle.”21.

What is the passage mainly talking about?A. The Unheard Voices of Seattle.B. The winner of the Youth of the Year.C. Boys & Girls Clubs of King County.D. The moving stories of homeless kids.BDream in HeartOn the first day of school our professor introduced a new classmate—a wrinkled l ittle old lady—to us. Her name was Rose, and she was eighty-seven years old.After class Rose and I walked to the Student Union Building and shared a chocola te milk-shake. She told me she always dreamed of having a college education and now she was getting one. We became instant friends. Every day for the following months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always attracted, listening to this “time machine”as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.Rose became famous and easily made friends wherever she went. She tended to be h ighly motivated,responsible, and deeply involved in class participation. In spare ti me she had someone hang out or go to bars with. She even participated in some form of athletic activity. She said that extra-curricular activities can form a vi tal part of her experience, creating unique chances for friendship and learning. At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football meal. A little embarrassed, she leaned into the microphone and simply said, “I’m sorry I’m so nervous.”As we laughed, she cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There isa huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you’re nineteen ye ars old and lie in bed for one full year, you will turn twenty. If I’m eigh ty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year, I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. It’s non-optional but that doesn’t take any talent or abil ity. The idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change. In this wa y the elderly don’t have regrets for what they did, but rather for things the y did not do.”Rose concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Rose”. She challenged us to study the words of the song and lived them out in daily lives.At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those ye ars ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two t housand college students attended her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who taught by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.24. Why does the author compare Rose to “time machine”in Paragraph 2?A. To stress her old age and knowledge of life.B. To describe the close friendship between them.C. To show that she always enjoyed her active life.D. To explain why she took on a challenge in college.25. Rose was invited to speak at the football meal most probably because ______.A. she was a great football fanB. she was the smartest studentC. she tried hard to achieve her dreamD. she became more educated than the others26. We can learn that Rose agreed with the idea that ______.A. growing older means growing upB. it takes talent and ability to grow upC. receiving high education helps to be courageousD. one grows older at the same time when he grows up27. The passage is intended to ______.A. provide an example for the elderlyB. discuss how to grow up quicklyC. tell the importance of attending collegeD. inspire the readers tolive up to livesCAs cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young. The Model T Ford was buil t at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly line（装配线）on September 27, 1908. Only eleven cars were produced the next month. But even tually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them.Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects of American culture: the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car represented what it meant to be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds. The road novel, the road movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in history.In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with “a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.”Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking b ack, as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an industrial pow er.gkstkThe cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster. In America the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.The problems of excessive（过度的）energy consumption, climate change and population growth have been described in a boo k by the American writer Thomas L. Friedman. He fears the worst, but hopes for the best.Friedman points out that the green economy（经济）is a chance to keep American strength. “The ability to design, build and export gr een technologies for producing clean water, clean air and healthy and abundant foodis going to be the currency of power in the new century.”28. Why is hamburger mentioned in paragraph 2?A. To explain Americans’love for travelling by car.B. To show the influence of cars on American culture.C. To stress the popularity of fast food with Americans.D. To praise the effectiveness of Amer ica’s road system.29. What has the use of cars in America led to?A. Decline of economy.B. Environmental problems.C. A shortage of oil supply.D. A farm-based society.30. What is Friedman’s attitude towards America’s future?A. Ambiguous.B. Doubtful.C. Hopeful.D. Tolerant.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Athe proces Sometimes we think that we would be happy if all our dreams come true. However, it’ｓthe road towards our dreams that enriches us and makes us happy. s of achieving our goals and it’ｓenough toys There was a little, but always cranky girl. Everything was bad for her. There weren’ｔor the gifts she was getting were wrong. She wished to meet an enchantress(女巫)that would tum her life a fairy tale.One day an enchantress came to the little girl and said that she would give her the fulfilment of one wish every day. The girl became happy: now all her dreams would come true. She thanked the ki nd enchantress and ran home.From that day she was waiting for every morning with joy and enthusiasm: because one more drea m would come true for her. The days passed, the dreams came true... But soon the little girl realized that fulfilment of the wishes did not give her joy and happiness which she hoped for. Many wish es brought her disappointment, and some even a pain. Almost every dream was an empty little girl caprice(任性). Being satisfied, she suddenly realized that she did not want this.’ｓThe girl was getting sadder and sadder day by day, and wish-fulfilment did not bring any joy to he r. Soon she started to fear her own dreams.So the girl went to the kind enchantress and asked her to take her terrible gift back. She was afraid to live, afraid to wake up every day, waiting for a coming execution (完成) of another wish. Crying, she asked an enchantress to fulfil only one her dream: to live as she li ved before and enjoy life.Kind enchantress had mercy upon the little girl. She waved her magic wand and disappeared. The girl ran home. She was happy, because she knew that now she would painstakingly seek for her one big cherished dream, not wasting time with short-term, in fact, quite unnecessary whims.21. Why wasn’ｔthe girl happy at the very beginning?have good toys and gifts.A. Because she didn’ｔB. Because she was afraid to live or wake up every day.C. Because she was not satisfied with everything around her.met an enchantress that would change her life.D. Because she hadn’ｔin paragraph 4 mean?22. What does “this”A. Every dream was an empty girl’ｓcaprice.B. Her wishes were fulfilled one by one as time went by.C. She could enjoy her life and chase her dream freely.D. The fulfilment of the wishes didn’ｔgive her joy and happiness.23. According to the passage, we’ll be happy if weA. meet a kind enchantressB. realize all our small dreamsC. live an extraordinary life and enjoy itD. work hard for one precious dreamBThis activity will melt away the pounds, build your body and leave you on an emotional high. Yetthe form of exercise, the fitness trend of the year, does not require gym membership or a personal trainer. All you need to do is walk.Walking is a refreshing alternative to complicated aerobic (氧) routines and overpriced gym membership, says personal trainer Lucy Knight, author of a new book on the exercise. It is free, enjoyable and already a part of everyday life. All you need to do is correct your technique, walk faster and for longer and you will lose weight.There is much evidence of the benefits of walking. Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh recently discovered that overweight people who walked briskly (快) for 30 to 60 minutes a day lost weigchange any other lifestyle habits. Another American study found that people ht even if they didn’ｔwho walked for at least four hours a week gained less weight than couch potatoes as they got older. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts medical school found that people who walked every day had 25 percent fewer colds than those who sat a lot. Best of all, walking makes you feel go od about yourself. “For people suffering from depression, walking three to four times a week for 3 0 minutes has been shown to lift their mood,” says Knight.But how to walk your way to weight loss and wellness? Health experts recommend that we shouldwalk 10,000 steps a day to stay healthy. Actually you would probably need to walk at least 16,000 steps a day to lose weight. Your workout plans depend on your level of fitness. You should aim to progress by increasing your walking time by five minutes every two weeks, and walk a bit faster. In just three months, the results should speak for themselves, says Knight.24. What is the latest fitness trend according to the passage?A. Brisk walking.B. Losing weight.C. Working out in a gym.D. Exercising with a personal trainer.25. Studies and researches are mentioned in the passage to show walking .A. is gaining increasing popularityB. benefits people in different aspectsC. is an enjoyable way to lose weightD. involves different groups of people26. It can be learned from the last paragraph that .A. 1600 steps a day is needed for weight lossesB. the effect of walking is noticeable over timeC. your fitness level depends on your health expertsD. changing the walking time every day is necessaryCAging happens to all of us, and is generally thought of as a natural part of life. It would seem sillyto call such a thing a "disease."On the other hand, scientists are increasingly learning that aging and biological age are two differe nt things, and that the former is a key risk factor for conditions such as heart disease, cancer and m any more. In that light, aging itself might be seen as something treatable, the way you would treat high blood pressure or a vitamin deficiency.Biophysicist Alex Zhavoronkov believes that aging should be considered a disease. He said that d escribing aging as a disease creates incentives to develop treatments."It unties the hands of the pharmaceutical (制药的) industry so that they can begin treating the disease and not just the side effects," he said. "Right now, people think of aging as natural and something you can't control," he said. "In academic circles, people take aging research as just an interest area where they can try to develop interven tions(干预). The medical community also takes aging for granted, and can do nothing about it except keep people within a certain health range."But if aging were recognized as a disease, he said, "It would attract funding and change the way w e do health care. What matters is understanding that aging is curable.""It was always known that the body accumulates damage," he added. "The only way to cure aging is to find ways to repair that damage. I think of it as preventive medicine for age-related condition s."Leonard Hayflick, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, said the idea that aging can be cured implies the human lifespan can be increased, which some researchers suggest is p ossible. Hayflick is not among them."There're many people who recover from cancer, stroke, or heart disease. But they continue to age, because aging is separate from their disease," Hayflick said. "Even if those causes of death were e liminated, life expectancy would still not go much beyond 92 years."27.What does Alex Zhavoronkov think about aging?A. It is silly to regard aging as a disease.B. Aging is more risky than cancer.C. Describing aging as a disease will help to develop treatments.D. Aging is natural and there is no way to control it.28.What does the underlined sentence in Para.4 mean?A. The medical community is quite interested in aging research.B. The medical community thinks of aging uncontrolledC.The medical community is working hard on stopping aging.D.The medical community keeps people healthy so as to slow their aging.29. What does Professor Leonard Hayflick believe?A. Aging can be possibly cured in the future.B. Aging is closely connected with disease.C. Most people still can live beyond 92 years.D. The human lifespan cannot be increased.30. The above passage is most likely to be _____________.A. a news storyB. a science reportC. a medical reviewD. an introduction to diseases第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The research wanted to find an answer to the winter argument about whether schools should _____31____ to stay open in heavy snow or shut their doors. Seven years of school test data showed no evidence that snow closures negatively affected results. The worst disruption was caused when schools tried to stay open but many staff and pupils were____32_____. The study, carriedout by Joshua Goodman, assistant professor of public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School in Massachusetts in the US, was an attempt to ____33_____ the impact of school days lost to bad weather.Almost as soon as the first winter snowflake falls, there are debates about whether schools should be kept open. The study suggests there are _____34____ arguments for them being closed. Prof Goodman was asked by the Massachusetts education department to find out whether there really was any loss to learning from snow closures. Looking at test results in the US state between 2003-10, he found no evidence that pupil _____35____ had been affected when schools were occasionally shut. A former high school teacher himself, Prof Goodman says schools can easily adapt to short-term closures, ____36_____their plans for the rest of the term. Such a clean break seemed to cause less disruption than trying to stay open, when many pupils might not be able to get into school. This creates a knock-on effect of pupils trying to catch up, he says. And this does seem to have a negative impact on results. Prof Goodman says that arguments over a few days of snow closures can often become very “emotional”---and they_____37____ that many pupils miss a greater number of school days through other types of absenteeism, such as ____38_____. Suchabsenteeism by individuals does negatively affect their results, he says, morethan an occasional _____39____ closure by the whole school.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Obviously, I did not feel so ready for the early races in my career as the races we‟ve done recently.

To achieve this you have to be_____43____and patient. The only way to develop those _____44____is to get out and race or do long training trips with your team-mates and friends.Adventure races are such a huge ____45_____that when you enter a race you always think, “Am 1 ready? Did I train enough? Did I forget something?” I remember one race in particular, my very first Eco-Challenge and only my second race ever. When I did it, I felt totally _____46____ and unprepared. Most of my fear was due to lack of_____47____ and knowledge. I really had no idea what I was getting in to because I had never done a 24-hour race before. Even so, we won it somehow, and were invited to compete in the Eco-Challenge in Australia.Then we went to Australia and entered the race. We didn‟t plan a _____48____ at all, but just ran as fast as possible from the start. Keeping my mouth shut and following my team-mates, I just tried to keep up with my team, who were more experienced than I was. Although we arrived at a few of the check points in first place and were among the top five, I knew we didn't ____49_____ there.______50___ , two of my team-mates decided not to continue the race after just a day and a half.

The other two of us, feeling fresh still, had to ____52_____ with the rest of our team. Four days later, we watched in____53_____as the winners crossed the finishing line.

A. promised B. requested C. offered D. agreedSection 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)Who wants to be a millionaire? has been one of the most popular television quiz shows in Britain. In the show, the host asks a question and gives the contestant four possible answers. If the contestant gets the right answer, they win the money say £100—and then go on to the next question for, say, £250. The money increases for each question until, if the contestant has answered all the other questions correctly, the prize for the final question is one million pounds.In this extract from a show some years ago, the host of the show is television personality Chris Tarrant. Answering the questions is an ex-army officer, Charles Ingram.TARRANT: What kind of garment is an …Anthony Eden‟？An overcoat, hat，shoe，tie?INGRAM: I think it is a hat.A cough from the audience.INGRAM: Again Tm not sure. I think it is ...Coughing from the audience.INGRAM: I am sure it is a hat. Am I sure?Coughing from the audience.INGRAM: Yes, hat, ifs a hat.In that show, Charles finally won a million pounds. But something wasn‟t quite right. Charles Ingram didn't really seem very sure of himself; he obviously didn't know the answer at first. To many in the audience that night, it seemed as if he frequently repeated an answer as if waiting for a signal.He was.Charles Ingram's wife Diana was in the audience, and so too was a man with the extraordinary name of Tecwen Whittock. He had a bad cough. But a man sitting next to him in the audience noticed that there was something strange about the cough. It was too loud, and it wasn'tvery regular. It only happened occasionally, almost as if he was coughing on purpose.He was.The three of them, Charles Ingram, Diana Ingram and Tecwen Whittock, had planned the whole thing. Whittock coughed to tell Charles when he had the correct answer. They began to notice it in the television control room, but at first they didn't believe it. In the end, though, it was just too obvious, and when tapes from the programme were played to a court in London a year later, there was no doubt. Charles and Diana Ingram were guilty of cheating on a game show. They were given prison sentences of 18 months and fined £15,000 each. Tecwen Whittock was sentenced to 12 months in prison and fined £10,000.Did the Ingrams and Tecwen Whittock get an appropriate sentence? How …bad' is it to cheat a television quiz show in which winning money is a matter of chance anyway? It is crimes like this that challenge our concepts of what is right and what is wrong, and since administering justice in the courts means that we have to decide on how serious something is (is robbery more or less serious than driving too fast, for example), the case of the cheating Ingrams is an excellent one to consider.56. We can learn from the extract of the show that Charles was his answer.A. pleased withB. surprised atC. sure ofD. hesitant over57. The pronoun “He”（in paragraph 7) refers to__________.A. Charles IngramB. Tecwen WhittockC. the man sitting next to Charles IngramD. the man sitting next to Tecwen Whittock58. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The three people were given the same fine and sentence. 'B. Diana Ingrain let Tecwen know which choice was correct.C. Tecwen told Charles which answer was right by coughing.D. It was the Ingrams that made the first plan for the cheating.59. According to the writer, what is the point of the case?A. It can offer a perspective to judge the severity level of crimes.B. It has been the first cheating case that is related to reality shows.C. It achieved the purpose of having the court reconsider the sentencing.D. It may serve as a warning for those who also want to do the same thing.(B)Read the two people‟s quotes below and answer the questions that follow.Dr Michio KakuPhysicist and professor40,000 people will work in spaceDr Michio Kaku is a professor at the City College of New Y ork and a graduate of Harvard University. His book, The Physics of the Impossible, is about how science fiction technology may be possible in the future.…By 2030, space tourism will almost certainly be common and around 40,000 people will work in space. A company called the Space Island Group is planning to build an internationalspace station with hotels, research facilities, restaurants and sports arenas (for new zero-gravity sports). Other companies are working on similar projects. And what language will people speak in space? Well, it probably won‟t matter because there is likely to be a tiny computer that fits in your ear and translates what you hear into your own language/Ray KurzweilScientist, inventor, author and entrepreneur (企业家)Our brains will merge with machinesMany of Ray Kurzweil‟s predictions about the future have come true. For example, in the early 1990s he predicted the growth of the Internet. Now Kurzweil believes that robots and humans will one day merge."The future will be far more surprising than most people realise. By the end of the 2030s, robots will be more intelligent than humans. Before that time, humans and machines will start to merge. We have 100 trillion very slow connections in our brain. Tiny robots (nanobots) will be implanted in our brains to improve our memory and our thinking skills. These nanobots will allow our brains to talk directly to computers, and they will also allow our brains to communicate wirelessly with other brains. Billions of nanobots will also travel through our bodies. They will keep us healthy. As a result, we will be able to live forever.'60. According to Dr Michio Kaku, what will no longer be a barrier for people working in space?A. Time.B. Internet.C. Language.D. Gravity.61. According to Ray Kurzweil, what will nanobots do?A. They will help save some of our memories.B. They will help some parts in our brain work better.C. They will help us develop a logic way of thinking.D. They will help detect what disease we are down with.62. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The future will surprise usB. The development of scienceC. Scientists worried about technologyD. Famous quotes about computers and the Internet(C)Digital assistants with anthropomorphic(拟人的)features, such as Siri, are increasinglycommon on phones and computers. Developing an emotional relationship with a piece of software can. However, cut both ways. As a study published in Psychological Science by Park Daeun, of Chungbuk National University in South Korea, and her colleagues, shows, one emotion sometimes involved in machine-human interaction is embarrassment.Dr Park and her team recruited 187 participants into their study. To start with each was presented with a series of statements on the changeability of intelligence. These included, “you have a certain amount of intelligence, and you can‟t really do much to change it”，and “you can always substantially change how intelligent you are‟, . Participants rated their responses to these statements on a six-point scale，on which one m eant “strongly disagree，‟ and six meant “stronglyagree'\ The reason for this initial test was that Dr Park knew from previous work that those who believe intelligence to be changeable are comfortable asking for assistance while those who believe it to be fixed often feel ashamed to do so.The initial test done, the researchers presented their volunteers with a second, which involved looking at 16 sets of three words and trying to think of a fourth word that linked them. Sometimes the first three words were accompanied by an unrequested hint. Sometimes they were not.Hints appeared as the written form of the word in question, accompanied by a computer-shaped icon (图标). For half of participants this icon had a humanlike face, and the hint was placed inside a speech bubble originating from that face. For the other half the icon lacked a face and there was no speech bubble. After the final set of words had been displayed, participants were asked to agree or disagree with follow-up statements about their experience, such as 4tit was embarrassing to receive help during the task”, and “others might think I am incompetent(无能的) because I received help during the task”. This time, they quantified their feelings on a seven-point scale, with higher scores representing greater feelings of unease.The researchers found that participants who believed intelligence to be unchangeable felt more embarrassed and more incompetent after the tests. Specifically, those who tended to believe that intelligence is unchangeable were more likely to feel ashamed and embarrassed if the computer icons they had seen giving the hints had had faces and speech bubbles. In contrast, people who strongly believed that intelligence could be changed over time felt the same level of discomfort whether or not the icons had been anthropomorphized.A second experiment, in which a different set of participants were allowed to ask for help rather than having it offered to them at random had similar results. Dr Park therefore concludes that some people do, indeed, seem to wish to avoid losing face by seeking help from an icon that has, well, a face.63. Dr Park and her team‟s initial test was intended to__________.A. find out the participants1 opinion of whether intelligence is fixedB. prove the findings of previous work that intelligence changes with ageC. choose from the participants those who are intelligent enough for the testD. highlight those who tend to feel ashamed to reveal how intelligent they are64. Which of the following is TRUE of Dr Park an d her team‟s second test?A. The participants were asked to sort out the different one among the given words.B. The participants were tested on how they felt about getting help in this way.C. The hints would appear as long as the participants hesitated for some time.D. The hints were given to help the participants how competent they were.65. The first experiment and the second experiment are different in .A. whether participants held the similar beliefs about intelligenceB. whether participants could decide if they need any helpC. whether the help was offered regularly or at randomD. whether the icons are computer-shaped or not66. What can be concluded from the passage?A. More should be done to make digital assistants more human-like.B. People‟s idea of intelligence needs to be updated at the moment.C. Embarrassment is among most common emotions people have.D. Digital assistants are sometimes too human to appeal to users.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Quantitative EatingAre you keen on QE (quantitative eating)? Do you have a high marginal propensity(边际倾向）to consume chocolate? Then you might be angered by the diet book, The Econ omists‟ Diet:The Surprising Formula for Losing Weight and Keeping It Off^ from two self-described “formerly fat economists” on how to lose weight.__________A diet is described as a “self-imposed eating-austerity (艰苦朴素）p rogramme”. There is some discussion of people‟s general failure to give enough weight to the long-term consequences of their actions. And there is some neat use of the concept of diminishing returns (收益递减).Eat a wide variety of foods and you may always get pleasure from trying something different. But limit your diet and you will soon tire of eating more. 68 The authors think this is more important than exercise since the latter tends to make you hungry; it is easy to undo all the good work of a cycle ride with a snack.Eating less requires you to limit yourself to one square meal (defined as some meat and two side portions of vegetables) a day. The other meals should be very light; a non-creamy soup, a salad or a bowl of non-sugary cereal. If you do end up having a big meal or a treat, then the other meals should be skipped altogether.But the authors are not too prescriptive(规定的) The aim is to find a diet that works for eachindividual.___________. Only then can you see whether the diet is working.The book is full of perfectly sensible advice, such as avoiding unusual diets, the appeal of “low-fat” foods and the temptation to drink all your calories in the form of fancy drinks, alcohol and sugary coffees. 70 But, as experienced economists, the authors may have realised that, when it comes to diet plans, demand is almost infinite.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea ofthe passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.The dangers of safetyTravelling by road is widely accepted as being the most dangerous way to travel with far more deaths per kilometer than rail, sea or air. In fact, while road traffic injuries represent about 25% of worldwide injury-related deaths, deaths on the road in the UK have been decreasing for some time. We take a look at why the number is decreasing, but why it seems impossible to avoid deaths completely.Over the years, different methods of reducing the number of crashes have been tried. The Locomotive and Highways Act of 1865 introduced the idea of speed limits to the motoring world. Since then, more and more ways of controlling the behaviour of drivers have been introduced, such as one-way streets and traffic signals, as well as compulsory driver testing and licensing. These days, there are many more methods of enforcement, including speed cameras and fines for breaking motor laws.Another solution is to make cars themselves safer in case of an accident. This means the main focus has been on passive safety or crash survival rather than active safety or avoiding crashes. There are many innovations by motor manufacturers, which have made cars safer, such as seat belts, anti-lock brakes and airbags. These improvements have tended to make the driver feel more in control and isolated him/her from the fast-moving and dangerous environment outside the car. It seems strange that as improvements have been made the number of crashes continues to increase.Actually, it is wrong to talk about safe and dangerous cars in this way. The key to this problem is not actually the car, but the driver. In fact, making drivers feel safer is not the solution to the problem, but it is the cause of the problem. As drivers feel safer, it encourages them to drive aggressively and to ignore other road users and therefore increases the number of crashes.V.

The additions include words such as “brencheese”, “deathshildy” and “hip-pop.”The new entries are part of the company‟s update to , its 32 __________online dictionary for paid members. The OED makes changes to the website four times each year.But the latest print version has been in 33__________ since the year 2000, and may not be ready for 10 more years. That information comes from Katherine Connor Martin, who heads the company's dictionary operations in the United States.Usually, the OED watches 34 __________of a word for at least 10 years before deciding whether to add a new entry, new definition or word related to a(n) 35__________ entry, she said. This general rule, however, is sometimes not36__________. That is what happened with “tweet,” a word that the OED added far before the 10-year mark.Other times, the company adds words that are very old, but were not included in the dictionary in the past, "it's funny because we talk about new words, but many of the words we add are already old. It‟s just that they were never in the dictionary before,” Martin told the Associated Press.That is the reality, she said, of a(n) 37 __________dictionary trying to put more than 1,000 years of English into books that already have over 855,000 entries. So, you get “brencheese,” a rarely used term for when bread a nd cheese are eaten together. The word dates back to the year 1665. The word “deathshildy” is from Old English. It means someone who is 38__________ of a serious crime and sentenced to death.The website defines the term “hip-pop” for music that has 39__________ parts of hip-hop and popular music. The OED discovered the term “hip-hip pop” was used in a 1985 story from a Pennsylvania newspaper. It 40__________ that the term “hip-pop” appeared in a 1991 U.S. newspaper report about the rap artist M.C. Hammer.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.Once upon a time, much of the world was populated by wolves. They ranged all over the United States and Canada, Siberia and much of mainland Europe, as well as Great Britain, and if humans hadn't come along, they would still be there 41__________. But man did come along, farmedthe land, 42__________ the wolves , killing their livestockand so gradually drove them out of thehomes that had once been theirs.Wolves are not 43__________ in our language and our literature, however. In fairy stories, they are seen as evil and dangerous, always 44__________ to eat people. Remember the time when Little Red Riding Hood thinks that a wolf is her grandmother? 'What big teeth you've got, grandmother? ‟she says, and the wolf, disguised as her grandmother, shouts back, “All the better to eat you with, my dear!‟If you really want to see what English-speaking humans think of the wolf, just look at the 45__________! …A wolf in sheep‟s clothing‟ is not a pleasant person and a …wolf-whistle‟ is not a pleasant sound!Y et wolves are totally unlike the image we have of them from legend and language. For a start, they don't 46__________ humans; indeed they do their best to keep out of our way. They are very sociable animals, living in packs and looking after their young with a fondness that should make some humans 47__________ themselves. Far from wolf music being 48__________ , the howl of the wolf--the cry of the whole pack—as the full moon rises is one of the most beautiful sounds in nature. They are beautiful creatures which can run at speeds of up to 65 kph if they have to. They can jump up and run up rock faces like a cat. And when they do 49__________ , their 42 large teeth are fearsomely effective.But the 50__________ remains that we love the lion, the king of the jungle, while we demonise (妖魔化）the wolf, one of the most beautiful animals in the world. Only 51__________ do writers treat them nicely; 52 __________ a she-wolf is supposed to have fed the twins Remus and Romulus, who went on to found the city of Rome.And so, while man kills animals in their millions, often just for the fun of it, the wolf on the mountain, out in the wilderness, running over the Siberian wastes, represents a state of natural 53___________ that we do not know and can never obtain, even though we 54__________ it in our hearts. Perhaps that's why, in the end, we 55__________ the wolf so much一for having something we can never get our hands on.41.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The Khao San Road woke early. At five, car horns began sounding off in the street outside. Then the water pipes under the floor started to rattle as the guest-house staff took their showers. I even could hear their conversations.Lying on my bed, listening to the morning noises, the tension of the previous night became unreal and distant. Although I couldn't understand what the staff were saying to each other, their occasional laughter conveyed a sense of normality: they were doing what they did every morning, their thoughts connected only to routine. I imagined they might be discussing who would go for kitchen supplies in the market that day or who would be sweeping the halls.Around five-thirty a few bedroom-door bolts clicked open as the early-bird travellers emerged and the die-hard party goers from Patpong returned. I rea lised that the dreamless snatches of sleep I‟d managed were finished, so I decided to get up and have breakfast.There were already a few travellers at the tables, drinking glasses of black coffee. I began studying the menu, a once white sheet of A4 paper with such an excessive list of dishes I felt making a choice was beyond my ability. Then I was distracted by a delicious smell. A kitchen boy had wandered over with a tray of fruit pancakes. He distributed them to a group of Americans, cutting off a good-natured argument about train times to Ciang Mai.One of them noticed me eyeing their food and he pointed at his plate. …Banana pancakes,‟ he said. …The business.‟I nodded. They smell pretty good.，…T aste better. English?‟…Uh，huh.，…Been here long?‟'Since yesterday evening. Y ou?”“A week‟, he replied, and popped a piece of pancake in his mouth, looking away as he did so. I guessed that signaled the end of the exchange.The kitchen boy came over to my table and stood there, gazing at me expectantly through sleepy eyes."One banana pancake, please,' I said, obliged into making a quick decision.…Y ou wan‟ order one banan‟ pancake?‟…Please.‟…Y ou wan‟ order drink?‟…Uh, a Coke. No, a Sprite‟…Y ou wan‟ one banan‟ pancake, one Spri.‟“Please.”He walked back towards the kitchen, and a sudden feeling of happiness washed over me.56. The writer described the morning noises in order to__________.A. imply that he didn‟t sleep wellB. predict the morning would be differentC. compare the city's morning and nightD. show what a terrible dream he had57. According to the writer, what were the staff talking about?A. Their daily work.B. Their strange guests.C. Their normal supplies.D. Their night experience.58. The American let the writer know that he wouldn‟t like to go on with the conversation by__________A. asking the writer about the pancakeB. telling the writer what he likedC. stopping looking at the writerD. commenting on the pancake59. By the end of the passage, the writer felt he had recovered from __________.A. the depressionB. the nervousnessC. the injuryD. the tiredness(B)I have beard that it takes many more muscles to frown（皱眉头）than to smile. Is it true，and does that mean that smiling is easier?Phil Discarson, Preston, EnglandI read on a website () that the opposite is true. According to someone called Doctor Song, a plastic surgeon, you use 12 main muscles for a genuine smile, but only 11 for a frown. But he says that even though we use more muscles to smile, ifs actually easier because, since we smile more often than we frown, our smiling muscles are in better condition.Carl Preston, San Francisco, USA It depends what you mean by smiling. Remember that line from Shakespeare, “a man may smile and smile and be a villain' —I think it^ from his play Hamlet. Anyone can look as if they are smiling by using the zygomaticus major and minor (they pull up the comers of the mouth), the levator labii super ions (which pull up the mouth and the comers of the nose) and the risorius (which pulls the comer of the mouth to one side). But that's not a real smile. A real smile uses the orbicularis oculi, which encircle each eye, and so when you smile like this, these muscles tighten the skin round the eye to give that …crinkling‟ effect which creates …laughter‟ lines. That‟s a REAL smile!Sarah Green (Dr), Birmingham, UK Counting the muscles，it takes to smile and frown isn‟t the issue，for me. I am more interested in the fact that you can find examples of the saying that …it takes less effort to smile than to frown‟ as far back as the 19th century. That‟s because it‟s a piece of advice, not a scientific fact. …Smile, and the world smiles with you? is another saying like that. Others say that if you smile, you will almost always feel happier. So which comes first, the smile or the happiness?Well I just read some research, which said that when we smile (or frown), our bodies get the message, even if we are only pretending. Apparently, they got some people to pretend to be angry, sad, sick, etc., and use the appropriate facial expressions, and measured what happened to their bodies. And the unbelievable thing was that even though the test subjects knew they were acting, their bodies didn't. Their heart rates increased, their skin temperature got hotter and there were signs of sweating—all physical signals of real anger, etc.Felicity Poole, Amsterdam, Holland60. What can be concluded from the three replies to Phil Discarson‟s question?A. It is self-evident that frowning needs more muscles than smiling.B. More research has been carried out about smiling than frowning.C. There is no agreement as to whether frowning or smiling is easier.D. Adequate evidence has been found that smiling is better than frowning.61. According to Sarah Green, a real smile uses muscles that will have effect on______________.A. the comers of the mouthB. the comers of the noseC. the eyesD. the lines on the cheeks62. According to Felicity Poole, which of the following statements is true?A. Forced smiles cause harm to our bodies.B. Our bodies will mistake a false smile to be a real one.C. Pretending to smile will serve the opposite purpose.D. Smiles usually come later than happiness.(C)How long have we had a soft spot for dogs? A reanalysis of a prehistoric dog that was buried with two people reveals that the animal had experienced several bouts of potentially fatal illnesses, but it survived.The Bonn-Oberkassel dog was unearthed a century ago in Germany. It was buried alongside the remains of a man in his 40s and a woman in her 20s, and all are about 14,200 years old. The animal probably lived long after dogs were domesticated, as evidence for this process stretches back at least 32,000 years. But the Bonn-Oberkassel dog is still important because it is the oldest known dog burial, says Luc Janssens at Ghent University in Belgium, which means it can help us understand why dogs were domesticated.A common assumption is that prehistoric humans domesticated dogs to put them to work, helping with hunting, guarding settlements or used as pack animals for transport. However, Janssens and his colleagues say there is an alternative: we domesticated dogs simply because we liked having them as pets.Their reanalysis of the dog reveals it had terrible oral health. Although only about 7 months old when it died, the dog had experienced three bouts of severe illness when it was between 19 and 23 weeks old. “The first infection would be enough to be fatal to most dogs in the wild,” says Janssens. “Then came two extra bouts, and the probability that the animal would survive without human help is very, very low.”The researchers argue that the sick puppy would have been unable to do any useful work. In fact, keeping it alive was probably an unpleasant burden on its owners: it might have vomited 吐）regularly and had diarrhoea（腹泻）.Its survival hints that its owners felt a bond of friendship，just like a modem dog owner. “This is the first time we find evidence to suggest that dogs were treated emotionally without expectation of any benefit,” says Janssens.Bonds of friendship may have helped drive domestication, says Mietje Germonpre at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences in Brussels. “Baby wolves could have been …adopted‟ to provide company,” she says.“This raising of baby wolves as pets could have been a stepping stone，together with other motivations, on the pathway to the domestication of the dog.”It is significant that the dog was buried, says Pat Shipman at Pennsylvania State University. 、…When yo u start burying animals，it indicates a special relationship of some kind.” Nevertheless，Shipman says we can‟t rule out the possibility that the Bonn-Oberkassel dog was - or could have become - a useful working dog, which might explain why its owners cared for it through its illness, in the hope that it would recover.63. Which of the following statements is true of The Bonn-Oberkassel dog?A. It lived longer than the dogs of its time.B. It was taken good care of by its owners.C. It had a terrible problem with its eyes.D. It was once used for transportation.64. According to Luc Janssens, why is the Bonn-Oberkassel dog important?A. It was unearthed almost 100 years ago.B. It was among those earliest domesticated dogs.C. It can lead to new perspectives on dogs‟ domestication.D. It can help people understand why dogs were buried with humans.65. Which of the following statements is Pat Shipment most likely to agree with?A. We can't say for sure that the Bonn-Oberkassel dog wasn't a working dog.B. Domestication has turned out to be a stepping stone to bonds of friendship.C. It is no more than 10,000 years since humans started to bury animals.D. Dog owners have long been known to be more caring than others.66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. How dogs were domesticatedB. Ancient humans loved their dogsC. The changing human-dog relationshipD. Why dogs became pets while wolves didn‟tSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.

Hirst outdid his previous sale when Lullaby Spring was sold for £50m to an unknown investment group.Damien Hirst--Artist or Businessman?Born in Bristol on 7 June 1965, Damien Hirst is the best known member of the group that has been called the w Y oung British Artists,. Damien became known after the collector Cahrles Saatchi started supporting his work. His work was first shown in 1992 in the first Y oung British Artists exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in North London. _____67_____ Hirst's first major work was titled The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living and was a large dead tiger shark in a glass tank. _____68_____ In June 2007, Hirst became the most expensive living artist with the sale of a medicine chest, Lullaby Springy for £9.65m at Sotheby's in London.What makes Hirst so controversial(有争议的)is that he is often accused of becomingsuccessful because of work done by other people.

Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.When Is the Mona Lisa Not the Mona Lisa?How many Mona Lisa paintings do you think there are in the world today? Just the one? I don't think so. The truth is that there are probably many, many Mona Lisa's hanging on walls or in studios. Of course only one was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci but the art of copying is very common in the art world.In fact it is true to say that artists have been copying from other artists for hundreds if not thousands of years. Traditionally, it was normal for artists to copy other artists' paintings. This was a way of making sure historical, religious and artistic traditions were available for future generations. It was considered normal for an artist in training to practise by copying the work of other great artists.Historically, the purpose of art was for historical or religious reference. Most of the time no one cared who painted the paintings. This is why we find it difficult to identify the artists behind some of the greatest older paintings. Paintings were usually commissioned by the church or state, not b\ individuals so the name of the artist was really unimportant.However, from around the 16th century the church and state became poorer and money found its way into the hands of rich individuals. These individuals, as a means of showing their place in society or a knowledge of art, drastically increased the demand for art. Suddenly more and more artists were needed and people competed to buy the paintings of certain individual artists. These created people whose job it was to buy and sell paintings. It also created galleries and auction houses. Suddenly art was a business and at its centre was money.V.

To take the first step, I did some brainstorming and explored opportunities on the Internet and finally decided to go to China. There were a number of reasons behind it—its advanced education system and thousands of centuries of rich culture inspired me to study there. The primary one was my curiosity about how a nation has left many nations behind in a short time at its fast pace of development.So just like that, I applied, along with some of my friends, for a master's degree program at Communication University of China. I was the only one who got selected in the said program and in addition, the Chinese Scholarship Council sponsored all of my expenses. This good news was welcomed by my family.This is my seventh month in Beijing. In my experience, one thing that appeared to be missing was the internship（实习期）which I tried to find because I want to work here after completion of my studies. After some struggle I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to work as an intern with the Center for China and Globalization(CCG). It's very exciting to work on their team as a researcher.

Sugar gliders are a long-term commitment, living up to 14 years with good care, and require a special diet, lots of attention, and space. Baby sugar gliders start life off in their mother's pocket, jest like kangaroos.All wild sugar gliders are from Australia, Indonesia, and New Guinea where they live in tree tops. Sugar gliders in the wild live in social family units called colonies. This social life is very important to all sugar gliders and they enjoy the companionship and communication from their own species.Sugar gliders can make lovable, playful, and entertaining animals, but regular interaction with them is very important if you want the glider to be friendly, especially if having a colony of them.

They cannot be potty（便盆） trained but they seldom bring owners cleaning trouble.Sugar gliders can be very noisy. The noises that a sugar glider makes are usually to show that they are upset, frightened, hungry, or to express other feelings.

Researchers recently transformed a wall into an outsize trackpad and motion sensor by using low-cost conducive paint to create a large grid of electrode（电极）.Such a smart wall can sense human touch and track gestured from a short distance. It can also detect where electrical equipment is and whether it is switched on. The technology could someday turn on lights when a person enters a room, track a player's motion in an interactive video game or monitor a child's television use. Walls are everywhere, so why not turn them into sensors for smart homes? " says Yang Zhang, a computer science doctoral student at Carnegie Mellon University, who helped to develop the concept.To create the high-teach surface, Zhang and his colleagues applied painter's tape in a lattice（格子结构）pattern to a twelve-by- eight-foot wall, and then coated it with commercially available conducivepaint. Removing the tape left a pattern of diamond-shaped electrode, which the researchers connected using thin copper（铜） tape strips. Finally, they wired the strips to a custom-built circuit board and covered the wall with standard latex （胶乳）paint. The entire project took four hours and cost less than $200. In theory, Zhang says, "Anyone can use the technique to make a wall smart. "In the wall's appliance-detection mode, the power is turned off. The researchers detected iPads up to 6.5 feet away from the wall; fans and floor lamps could be sensed from about 10 feet. Zhang and his colleagues presented the wall in April at the ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems."Engineers have long dreamed of technologies that blend into our surroundings, " says Christian Holz, a research scientist at Microsoft Research in Redmond, who did not participate in the work. "It nicely questions our understanding of what a device might be and demonstrated how rich sensing technology can combine with everyday objects."(1) What can a smart wall do now according to the passage?A. Detect people's locations.B. Turn on lights automatically.C. Monitor a person's television use.D. Track humans' movements at close range.(2) What can we learn about the smart wall?A. It is easy to build.B. It is cheap but time-consuming.C. It benefits people in many ways.D. It adds appeal to the buildings.(3) What is Christian Holz's attitude towards this new invention?A.

Her name was Rose, and she was eighty-seven years old.After class Rose and I walked to the Student Union Building and shared a choc olate milk-shake. She told me she always dreamed of having a college education and now she was getting one. We became instant friends. Every day for the f ollowing months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was alwaysattracted, listening to this “time machine”as she shared her wisdom and ex perience with me.Rose became famous and easily made friends wherever she went. She tended to be highly motivated,responsible, and deeply involved in class participation. In spa re time she had someone hang out or go to bars with. She even participated i n some form of athletic activity. She said that extra-curricular activities can form a vital part of her experience, creating unique chances for friendship a nd learning.At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football meal. A lit tle embarrassed, she leaned into the microphone and simply said, “I’m sorr y I’m so nervous.”As we laughed, she cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing . There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you’r e nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year, you will turn twenty.If I’m eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year, I will turn e ighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. It’s non-optional but that doesn’t tak e any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the chancein change. In this way the elderly don’t have regrets for what they did, but rather for things they did not do.”Rose concluded her speech by courag eously singing “The Rose”. She challenged us to study the words of the s ong and lived them out in daily lives.At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who taught by example that it’s never too late to be all you can po ssibly be.24. Why does the author compare Rose to “time machine”in Paragraph 2?A. To stress her old age and knowledge of life.B. To describe the close friendship between them.C. To show that she always enjoyed her active life.D. To explain why she took on a challenge in college.25. Rose was invited to speak at the football meal most probably because ______.A. she was a great football fanB. she was the smartest studentC. she tried hard to achieve her dreamD. she became more educated than the others26. We can learn that Rose agreed with the idea that ______.A. growing older means growing upB. it takes talent and ability to grow upC. receiving high education helps to be courageousD. one grows older at the same time when he grows up27. The passage is intended to ______.A. provide an example for the elderlyB. discuss how to grow up quicklyC. tell the importance of attending collegeD. inspire the readers to live up to livesCAs cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young. The Model T Ford was b uilt at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly line（装配线）on September 27, 1908. Only eleven cars were produced the next month. But e ventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them.Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some o f the most lasting aspects of American culture: the roadside diner, the billboard,the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car represente d what it meant to be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds.The road novel, the road movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in history.In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with “a chicken in every pot an d a car in every garage.”Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an indust rial power.gkstkThe cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecolo gical disaster. In America the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.The problems of excessive（过度的）energy consumption, climate change and population growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L. Friedman. He fears the worst, but hopes for the best.Friedman points out that the green economy（经济）is a chance to keep American strength. “The ability to design, build and export green technologies for producing clean water, clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the currency of power in the new century.”28. Why is hamburger mentioned in paragraph 2?A. To explain Americans’love for travelling by car.B. To show the influence of cars on American culture.C. To stress the popularity of fast food with Americans.D. To praise the effectiveness of America’s road system.29. What has the use of cars in America led to?A. Decline of economy.B. Environmental problems.C. A shortage of oil supply.D. A farm-based society.30. What is Friedman’s attitude towards America’s future?A. Ambiguous.B. Doubtful.C. Hopeful.D. Tolerant.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
