That, at least, is what it promised us. The difficulty is that it did not take the human mind into account. The reality is that we cannot keep relationships with more than a limited number of people. No matter how hard the Internet tries to put you in communication, its best efforts will be defeated by your mind.The problem is twofold(双重的). First, there is a limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and have a meaningful relationship with. That number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain. Second, the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest in th en. We invest a lot in a small number of people and then distribute what’s left among as many others as we can. The problem is that if we invest little time in a person, our engagement with that person will decline until eventually it dies into “someone I once knew”.This is not, of course, to say that the Internet doesn’t serve a socially valuable function. Of course it does. But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world, but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to move to the other side of the world.In one sense, that’s a good thing. But it also has a disadvantage. If you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see them, then certainly you aren’t using your time to make new friends where you now live. And I suspect that probably isn’t the best use of your time. Meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other, face to face. T he Internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end, but it won’t stop that happening eventually.36.The number of friends we can keep relationships with is decided by__________.A. the InternetB. the time we haveC. the place we liveD. the mind37.The underlined word “engagement” in the second paragraph probably means “__________”.A. appointmentB. connectionC. interviewD. agreement38.The author holds the view that___________.A. the Internet helps to keep in touch with friends far awayB. the Internet determines the quality of social relationshipsC. the Internet greatly increases the size of social circlesD. the Internet is of no value in social communication39.What will the author encourage us to do?A. To keep in touch with old friends when we have moved away.B. To chat with friends often on the Internet.C. To make more new friends face to face.D. To stop using the Internet to make new friends.40.What is the author’s attitude towards the use of the Internet to strengthen relationships?A. He thinks it uselessB. He is hopeful of it.C. He approves of it.D. He doubts it.A woman named Emily renewing her driver’s license at the County Clerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …”“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation… ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder. One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and posses sed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation?” she asked.The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.I repeated the title slowly, then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself r eply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t), in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (受鼓舞) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13, 7, and 3.Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”Motherhood…What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.41.What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder at the beginning of the passage?A. The recorder was impatient and rude.B. The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was.C. The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced.D. Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by society.42.How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told her occupation?A. curiousB. indifferentC. puzzledD. interested43.Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?A. Because the author cared little about rewards.B. Because she thought the author did admirable work.C. Because she admired the author’s research work in the lab.D. Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of.44.What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.B. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect.C. To show that the author had a greater job than Emily.D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.To help make the most of your experience at Auckland Zoo we suggest:Plan Your Day:Plan your day to learn more about your favorite zoo animals.Don’t forget your camera – the best way to capture your visit forever.Keep Safe at the Zoo:Children aged 12 years and under need to be accompanied (陪同) by a caregiver.To keep the safety of our animals, any throwing games are not permitted in the zoo grounds.

It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag thatsaid THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.“How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.“None.”“Where did you go?”“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”“What did you do?”“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”“You just stood there?”“Didn’t sell a single one.”“My God, Russell!”Uncle Allen put in, “Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.48.Why did the boy start his job young?A.He wanted to be famous in the future B.The job was quite easy for him.C.His mother had high hopes for him. D.The competition for the job was fierce.49.From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _______. A.excited B.interested C.ashamed D.disappointed50.What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?A.She forced him to continue. B.She punished him.C.She gave him some money. D.She changed her plan.51.The phrase “this battle” in the last paragraph refers to .A.the war between the boy’s parentsB.the arguing between the boy and his motherC.the quarrel between the boy and his customersD.the fight between the boy and his father52.What is the text mainly about?A.The early life of a journalist.B.The early success of a journalist.C.The happy childhood of the writer.D.The important role of the writer in his family.Children pushed in buggies which face away from their parents may suffer longterm emotional (情感的)and language problems,according to a study published on Friday.The research,believed to be the first of its kind,found that children who were not facing the person pushing them were less likely to talk,laugh and communicate with their parents.The findings were based on a study of 2,722 parents and babies and an experiment where 20 babies were wheeled in buggies for a mile,facing their parents for half the journey and facing away for the other half. Parents using facetoface buggies were twice as likely to talk to their children while the babies’ heart rates fell and they were twice as likely to fall asleep,showing that they were feeling relaxed and safe.In addition,only one baby out of the 20 studied laughed while sitting in an awayfacing buggy.“Our data(数据) suggests that for many babies today,life in a buggy is emotionally impoverished and possibly stressful. Stressed babies grow into anxious adults,” said Dr Suzanne Zeedyk,Developmental Psychologist at Scotland’s Dundee University who carried out the research. The study,which was published b y National Literacy Trust as part of its “Talk To Your Baby” campaign,found that 62 percent of all children observed travelled in awayfacing buggies. Zeedyk said it would have a negative effect on babies’ development if they spent a long time in awayfaci ng buggies,which would be bad to their ability to communicate with their parent at a time when their brain was developing rapidly.Laura Barbour of the Sutton Trust,a social mobility charity which funded the research,said buggy manufacturers(制造商) should look closely at the findings.53.Using awayfacing buggies may________.A.benefit both the babies and their parentsB.affect babies’ language ability permanentlyC.help babies communicate with their parentsD.have positive effect on babies’ development54.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Parents may talk twice with the babies in awayfacing buggies.B.The study suggests children feel relaxed and safe in buggies.C.The samples (案例)of the study were 20 babies wheeled in buggies.D.One of the 20 babies was twice as likely to fall asleep in buggies.55.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.Best for Kids to Face Parents in BuggyB.Best for Kids to Communicate with ParentsC.Stressed Babies Grow into Anxious AdultsD.Buggy Manufacturers Care about the FindingThe weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school.A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Mostof them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine(咖啡碱)in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee(IOC) has limited(限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.56.Many people like drinking energy drinks because of the following EXCEPT that ______.A. they have beautiful colors and cool namesB. they have lots of caffeineC. they can keep them awake and better at sportsD. they are said to be helpful to health57.The main reason for people not to drink too much energy drinks is that they may cause ______.A. heart problemsB. nervousnessC. sleeping difficultyD. possible health dangers58.The underlined word “discouraged” can be replaced(替换) with ______.A. encouragedB. stoppedC. helpedD. disliked59.From the passage we can know that ______.A.advertisements are important in getting people to buy energy drinksB.energy drinks are helpful to teenagers’ studyC.sports players need to drink a lot of energy drinksD.energy drinks are especially aimed at teenagers60.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? ______A.

2013年联考真题英语解析
2013年中华人民共和国普通高等学校联合招收华侨、港澳地区、台湾省学生入学考试英语试题分析与详细解答一、试卷整体分析港澳台全国联招的英语考试时间是120分钟,试卷满分是150分,试卷分为选择题和非选择题两大部分,主要考查听力、基础语法知识、完形填空、阅读理解、短文改错和写作6部分内容,具体题型和分值见下表。
全国联招英文试题类型及分值分布试卷题型分值总计听力 1.5*2030单项填空1*1515完形填空1*2020阅读理解 2.5*2050短文改错1*1515书面表达20*120总的来说,2013年港澳台全国联招的英语考试试卷难度适中,难度较去年稳中有变,延续以往港澳台全国联招的英语考试的命题思路,梯度把握得比较好,符合2013年港澳台全国联招的英语考试大纲的要求。
不难看出,试卷依然重点考查考生对基础知识的掌握和语言的综合运用能力,试题命题原则、难度,能力测试取向,都与去年基本保持一致,只是考查得更细化了。
各题型中规中矩,强调基础、实用,对平时教学中的重难点知识做了全面考查,避免了偏、难、怪的现象,对英语教学起到良好的指导作用。
一、听力理解听力选材多是学生熟悉的日常交际场景,基本没有生僻词语,语速适中,侧重考查考生在规定时间内对听到的语料的反应能力和理解能力。
听力的干扰因素主要在于部分题目备选项在听力原文材料中可听到,迷惑性强,混淆较大,难以判断。
对于平时听力训练不够的学生是个较大的挑战。
学生要加强对听的重视程度,毕竟听是听、说、读、写中首要的语言能力。
尤其注意我们联考听力只放一遍,和普通高考的听力有明显的差异。
二、单项选择单项填空考查的知识点比较全面,分布比较合理。
考查了冠词、介词短语、代词、名词、连词、形容词、动词短语词义的辨析、时态语态、情景交际和情态动词。
对冠词、介词、情态动词和定语从句的考查虽中规中矩,但是需要考生对基础知识掌握得非常扎实,否则也会失一到两分,比如28题考查which和where的区别,是个很容易失误的知识点。

In January, Beijing saw only five days without smog. The rising PM 2.5 readings terrified many people, and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious, hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory (呼吸系统)and heart diseases.Later, news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe.So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere.Smog especially is a common concern. Like a popular online post said, air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone, despite your income or vocation. People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic food by paying higher prices, but they breathe the same air as everyone else.At a meeting on Monday, many Representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality, too. One talked about his experience in Beijing. ―After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel, which took about an hour, I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black. We should ask ourselves this question: Why do we want to develop? It's for living a better life. Dirty air is definitely not a better life," he said.China needs to develop its economy and invest(投资) in high-tech. Every Chinese wants a strong country. But without blue sky, clean water and safe food, the achievements in the economy will become meaningless. Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can migrate to the red planet because they have destroyed Earth.What the public wants is a strong and beautiful China. Former president Hu Jintao spoke at the 18th Party Congress last November saying that great efforts must be made to promote ecological progress and build a beautiful China. The words have shown the central government's resolution to address the environment issue.36.The effect of smog doesn‘t include.A.the rising of PM 2.5 readingsB.more people suffering diseasesC.the increase of people‘s incomeD.patients increased in hospital37.Why smog has become a common concern?A.Because people have to pay higher prices.B.Because nobody can avoid it.C.Because we have to develop industry.D.Because a popular online-post discussed it.38.The underlined word ―they‖ in paragraph 6 refers to.A.human beings B.other plantsC.space technologies D.industrial development39.From the last two paragraphs we can infer that.A.high-tech can completely solve the problem of pollutionB.space technologies should be developed in a large scaleC.we can move to the Mars after the earth has been destroyedD.we must protect the environment while developing economyLoren Gladstone of Toronto is 58, but thinking over how to bequeath (遗赠) his digital property(财产). Doing the paperwork after his parents' death was a challenge. ―When my time comes, I wonder if my children will even know what paper is,‖ he says. As a software developer, his virtual property is both valuable and vital to his business. That reflects a problem. Online lives have increasing economic and emotional value. But testamentary (遗嘱) laws offer confusing and incomplete ways of bequeathing and inheriting (继承) them.Digital property may include software, websites, downloaded content, online gaming identities, social-media accounts and even e-mails. In Britain alone holdings of digital music may be worth over £9 billion ($14 billion). A fifth of respondents to a Chinese local-newspaper survey said they had over 5,000 yuan($790) of digital property. And value does not lie only in money.―Anyone with kids under 14 years old probably has two prints of them and the rest are in online galleries,‖says Nathan Lustig of Entrustet, a company that helps people manage digital property.Service providers have different rules—and few state them clearly in their terms and conditions. Many give users a personal right to use an account, but nobody else, even after death. Facebook allows relatives to close an account or turn it into a memorial page. Gmail (run by Google) will provide copies of e-mails to an executor (遗嘱执行人). Music downloaded via iTunes is held under a license which can be abolished on death. Apple declined to comment on the record on this or other policies. All e-mail and data on its iCloud service are deleted on the death of the owner.This has led to cases to court in America. In 2004 the family of Justin Ellsworth, an army man killed in Iraq, took Yahoo! to court in Michigan to get copies of his e-mails. This year, a court in Oregon ruled that another American mother whose son had died could use her dead son's password to enter his Facebook account for a short period. Now five American states have made laws giving executors control over the social-networking accounts of dead users.But this raises the subject of privacy. Passing music on is one thing; not everyone may want their relatives to read their e-mails. Colin Pearson, a London-based lawyer, says access should come only with a clear provision in a will.But laws, wills and password safes may be contrary to the providers' terms of service, especially when the executor is in one country and the data in another. Headaches for the living and lots of lovely work for lawyers.40.Why does Loren begin to think over how to bequeath his digital property at the age of 58?A. Because he is afraid his children don't know what paper is.B. Because there's no complete law dealing with digital property.C. Because his digital property is of great value and importance.D. Because he is worried his children will be taken to court.41.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Digital property is assessed in terms of nothing except money.B. No laws in America have been made to deal with digital property.C. The relatives may read the e-mail of the dead without permission.D. Lawyers can make money through cases about digital property.42.Facebook, Google and Apple have a similar rule that ________.A. users are offered accounts used by nobody else except users themselvesB. relatives of the dead may close an account or use it at their own willC. the executor may enter the e-mail and read it by themselves at any timeD. the data downloaded by the dead will be copied and then deleted from net43.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Digital InformationB. Testamentary LawsC. Deathless DataD. Vital PropertyHuman cloning technology could be used to reserve heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages, are not very successful. Couples go through physical and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.We should be able to clone the bone marrow(骨髓)for children and adults suffering from leukemia (白血病). This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology. We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases. The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind. This new technology promises unprecedented (前所未有的)advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefit begin.44.What does the underlined word ―infertile‖ (paragraph 2) most probably mean?A. with physical and emotional problemsB. short of time and moneyC. unable to give birth to childrenD. separated from each other for a long time45.According to the text, one of the first expected benefits from cloning technology is in ______.A. the treatment of mental diseasesB. the reserve of heart diseasesC. the cure of gene-related diseasesD. the bearing of babies46.According to the writer, the main problem with the development of human cloning technology is that__________.A. it has brought about benefits so farB. it may be out of human controlC. people still know little about itD. people are afraid of such technologyGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, king of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist (免疫学家),encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.47.The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because________.A. they lived healthily in a dirty environmentB. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay inC. they believed disease could be spread in public bathsD. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease48.Which of the following best describes Henry IV‘ s attitude to bathing?A. AfraidB. CuriousC. ApprovingD. Uninterested49.How does the passage mainly develop?A. By providing examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By following the order of time.D. By following the order of importance.50.What is the author‘s purpose in writing the passage?A. To stress the role of dirt.B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.D. To present the change of views on dirt.America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect (影响)American society in many ways — education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society— one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior(行为)is suitable (合适)at various ages. A person's age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There's no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school ,get a job, or stop working isn't as strong as it used to be. It doesn't surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the firs time. Public ideas are changing. Many people say, 'I am much younger than my mother - or my father - was at my age.' No one says ‗Act your age‘ anymore. We've stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.51.It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America_________ .A.has made people feel youngerB.has changed people's social positionC. has changed people's understanding of ageD. has slowed down the country's social development52.The underlined word ‗one‘ refers to_________.A. a societyB. AmericaC. a placeD. population53.‗Act your age‘ means people should_________.A.be active when they are oldB.do the right thing at the right ageC. show respect for their parents young or oldD. take more physical exercise suitable to their age54.If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it ______.A.normalB.wonderfulC.unbelievableD.unreasonableStudents in many countries are learning English. Some of these students are small children. Others are teen-agers. Many are adults. Some learn at school, others by themselves. A few learn English by learning the language over the radio, on TV, or in film. One must work hard to learn another language.Why do all these people want to learn English? It is difficult to answer this question. Many boys and girls learn English at school because it is one of their subjects required for study. They study their own language and maths and English: Some people learn it because it is useful for their work. Many people learn English for their work. Many people learn English for their higher studies, because at college or university some of their books are in English. Other people learn English because they want to read newspapers or magazines in English.55.People learn English _______.A. at schoolB. over the radioC. on TVD. not all in the same way56.Different kinds of people want to learn English _______.A. together with other subjectsB. for different reasonsC. for their workD. for higher studies at colleges57.From this passage we know that _______.A. we can learn English easilyB. English is very difficult to learnC. English is learned by most people in the worldD. English is a useful language but one must work hard to learn58.Which of the following is right?A. We don‘t need to learn any foreign languages.B. We can do well in all our work without English.C. English is the most important subject in schools.D. We should learn English because we need to face the world.第II卷(非选择题)四、单词拼写阅读下面短文,根据以下提示:1)汉语提示,2)首字母提示,3)语境提示,在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词,并将该词完整地写在右边相对应的横线上。

Glancing back from the front of the queue, I found my best friend Terry, who was treating me like I didn‟t exist during the past two weeks,36 all my calls and messages.With all the students seated in the exam room, Mr. Reed, our physics teacher, talked to the class and announced the exam. I hated physics and felt it hard to 37 my paper. I was just looking up when a 38 caught my eye. I could hardly believe it! Terry had her phone on her left knee and she was reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good 39 ? I almost put my hand up to tell the teacher, but what would everyone else think of her? However, it wasn‟t40 ! So I nodded to Mr. Reed. He walked 41 down the row of tables. Terry was busy with her phone so that she didn‟t even find Mr. Reed had42 her. She looked up from her phone with a frightened expression. Before she had a chance to explain, Mr. Reed took her 43 and told her to leave the room. Terry started crying as she walked to the door, looking back over her shoulder at me, sad and ashamed.After the exam, I received a text message from Terry, saying “I‟m really44 that I‟ve been avoiding you lately but it‟s been the hardest two weeks of my life. My dad has a heart attack and he‟s been in hosp ital. He has a(n) 45 today and I am really worried. I know it is stupid, but I was trying to send a text message to my mum to see how it was going. Then Mr. Reed caught me and thought I was 46 . I wish I‟d told you what‟s been happening. I know I shouldn‟t47 who my friends are.

The body is just like a vehicle to do the so ul‟s building. 50 the body is full of energy, it can help open up the soul. Some deeper life issues will become easy for us. Just 51 we learn to maintain a car, we ought to learn how to maintain the body. There must be 52 balance between enjoying ourselves and working. For one thing, we don‟t need to be a slave. 53 can sometimes refresh the body so that our soul can accomplish more. For 54 , we have to be in control. Enjoy the pleasure, 55 don‟t be addicted to it.

They find out that the new baby is going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sings to his sister in Mommy's tummy.The pregnancy progresses normally for Karen. But complications arise during delivery. Finally, Michael's little sister is born. But she is in serious condition. With siren howling in the night, the ambulance rushes the infant to the intensive care unit atSt. Mary's Hospital.The little girl gets worse. The doctor tells the parents, "There is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst." Karen and her husband have fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby — now they plan a funeral.Michael, keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister, "I want to sing to her," he says. But kids are never allowed in Intensive Care. However, Karen makes up her mind. She will take Michael whether they like it or not. “If he doesn't see his sister now, he may never see her alive.” She dresses him in an oversized scrub suit and marches him into ICU. The head nurse recognizes him as a child and bellows, "Get that kid out of here now! " The mother, the usually mild-mannered lady glares steel-eyed into the head nurse's face, her lips a firm line. "He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!" Karen tows Michael to his sister's bedside. He gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. And he begins to sing."You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray”Instantly the baby girl responds. The pulse rate becomes calm and steady."You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away "The ragged, strained breathing becomes as smooth as a kitten's purr.Keep on singing, Michael. Tears conquer the face of the bossy head nurse as well as Karen.Funeral plans are scrapped.

When you select your career, there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas;1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?There are isolating jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.2) How do you handle change?Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.3) Do you enjoy working with computers?I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely finda lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.4) What type of work environment do you enjoy?This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.5) How do you like to get paid?Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this. Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.61. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph one mean?A. Before you select your job, you should assess your skills and match them withyour position.B. There are more important things than assessing skills and match them with theposition when you select jobs.C. Nothing is important than assessing skills and match them with the position whenyou select job.D You should ignore your skills when you select job.62. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Isolating usually drive people mad.B. Interactive jobs make people shy easily.C. Extreme people tend to work with others.D. Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.63. The underlined word “stability” in the passage most probably means?A. no movement.B. no anger.C. gentleness.D. enthusiasm.64. In a job search, what quality is not mentioned in the passage?A. Outgoing.B. Motivated.C. Cooperative.D. Passionate.65. What could be the best title for this passage?A. Lifestyles and Job PayB. Jobs and EnvironmentC. Job Skills and AbilitiesD. Personalities and JobsCThe computer keyboard helped kill shorthand---a system of rapid handwriting, and now it's threatening to finish off handwriting as a whole. When handwritten essays were introduced on the SAT exams for the class of 2011, just 15% of the most 1.5 million students wrote their answers in cursive (草写字母).The rest? Block letters.And those college hopefuls are just the first edge of a wave of US students who no longer get much handwriting instructions in the primary grades, frequently 10 minutes a day or less. As a result, more and more students struggle to read and write cursive.At Keene Mill Elementary School in Springfield, all their poems and stories are typed. Children in Fairfax County schools are taught keyboarding beginning in kindergarten. Older students who never mastered handwriting say it doesn't affect their grades.There are those who say the culture is at a crossing, turning from the written word to the typed one. If handwriting becomes a lost form of communication, does it matter? It was at University of Virginia that researchers recently discovered a previously unknown poem by Robert, written in his unique script. Handwritten documents are more valuable to researchers, historians say, because their authenticity (真实性)can beconfirmed. Students also find them more fascinating.The loss of handwriting also may be a cognitive (认知的)opportunity missed. Several academic studies have found that good handwriting skills at a young age can help children express their thoughts better-a lifelong benefit.It doesn't take much to teach better handwriting skills. At some schools in Prince George's County, elementary school students use a program called Handwriting Without Tears for 15 minutes a day. They learn the correct formation of manuscript letters through second grade, and cursive letters in third grade.There are always going to be some kids who struggle with handwriting because of their particular neurological (神经系统的)wiring, learning issues or poor motor skills. Educators often point to this factor in support of keyboarding.66. What is the author concerned about after 2011 SAT exams?A. Keyboarding.B. Shorthand.C. Handwriting.D. Block letters.67. A poem by Robert mentioned in the passage is used to _________.A. prove how valuable handwriting isB. explain what a famous poet he isC. show how unique his poem isD. stress how fascinating the documents are68. The example of Handwriting Without Tears helps to argue that_________.A. the schools are responsible for the loss of handwritingB. the loss of handwriting is a cognitive opportunity missed xKb C. it doesn't take much to teach better handwriting skillsD. the culture is turning from the written word to the typed one69. According to the author, when is a perfect time to learn handwriting?A. Kindergarten.B. Primary school.C. High school.D. College.70. What is the author‟s attitude towards this debate?A. Devotion.B. Encouragement.C. critical.D. Objective.Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions:Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comfort of life, one becomes happy while the other becomes unhappy. This difference comes from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things, the pleasant parts of a conversation, the well prepared dishes, for example. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. So, they‟re always dissatisfied. They cannot feel the pleasure of society, they hurt other people, and they make themselves unpopular everywhere. Their intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation, but it gradually grows into a bad habit as time goes on.Though being unhappy is most probably an act of imagination, it has serious results in life, for it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. The unhappy ones hurt many people; nobody will love them, and nobody will treat them with basic politeness and respect. When they need some advantages in social position or fortune, no one will wish them success.In order to help the unhappy ones, it is strongly suggested that they should change their bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and the others. If they do it, it will be good for both themselves and the others, and bright life will definitely smile at them some day.Section B (10 marks)Directions:Read the following passage, Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.I have a friend named John Roberts who owns a horse ranch (牧马场)in San Ysidro.The last time I was there he shared a story with me. “It is a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer. When he was a senior,he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.”That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch,showing the location of all the buildings,the stables and the track.“Th e next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, …See me after class.‟”“The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, …Why did I receive an F?‟”“The teacher said, …This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you‟ll have to pay large stud fees. There…s no way you could ever do it.‟ Then the teacher added,…If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.‟”“The boy went home and asked his father what he should do. His father said, …Look, son,you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.‟”“Finally,after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, …You can keep the F and I‟ll keep my dream.…”John continued, “I tell you this story because you are sittin g in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added, “If I had changed my paper at that time, maybe we would not have the chance to be here talking about the dreams .”81. What was the boy‟s goal described in his seven-page paper? (No more than 6 words)82. Why did the teacher give him a F”? (No more than 14 words)83. How did John‟s father respond to his son‟s puzzlement? (No more than10 words)84. What can we learn from the article?

I complained about __27__ unfair it was for I didn't have any books in the house other than the Bible.

The first book I read through was Chip the Dam Builder, which was about beavers. For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program ___29 ___ (take) me so far away from my surroundings as did this verbal visit to a cold stream in a forest and these creatures building a home.It dawned upon me __30__ reading was quite different from watching TV ---- there were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes and I could return to them again and again with the flip of a page.

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.In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the __51__ is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater __52__? There is evidence to suggest that __53__ variety certainly makes the worker’s life mo re enjoyable, it does not __54__ make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then variety is not an important factor.Other experts feel that giving the worker __55__ to do his job in his own way is important, and there is no doubt that this is true. The __56__ is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a __57__ way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to ___58__ it. Another important consideration is how much each worker __59__ to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now __60___ with having many small production lines __61___ one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his own.It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution a(n) ___62___ factor but it is one we can do something about.To what __63__ does money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A __64__ argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more __65__, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.51. A. answer B. course C. attempt D. system52.

A. complicated B. interesting C. important D. essentialSection 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)From a boat I scanned the shore of East Island for albatross chicks (信天翁幼鸟). These largest of seabirds spend most of their lives far at sea, but at nesting time they concentrate ashore on remote islands like this one. Two albatross species had hatched their chicks four or five months earlier.I also noticed some big tiger sharks show up at the peak of the fledging season (幼鸟长羽毛季节), looking to eat young albatrosses staying in the shallows. During the months of June and July the two separate worlds of bird and fish come together.Unaware of the danger, the 30 or 40 chicks knew only that their departure time was now. I watched as some of the birds caught the wind, sailed out awkwardly over the water, and flew off into the wild blue sky, safely beyond the danger zone. Others landed a mere 30 yards from the shore, where the situation was wilder. A shark would move in and an unfortunate chick would disappear in a microsecond, before I could even raise my camera.Tiger sharks routinely start feeding at twilight, but here they fed on albatross chicks all day. The morning of June 20 was a fairly typical one. Between 6:45 and 7:45 a.m. sixteen albatross chicks flew from the beach at East Island. In that hour five were attacked and killed. As the day progressed, more wind meant more flights. And the stronger winds gave the birds an extra edge, lifting them far offshore, beyond the danger zone. The victims would fly, splash down, and smooth their wings, unaware of the danger until disaster struck.The sharks were often not as efficient as one might expect. I saw them miss their prey (猎物) by several feet on the first try, and turn around for another attack. Even if a bird survived an initial attack because the shark missed its target, the young albatross would often stay on the water. Some chicks even faced their pursuer and feebly (无力地) pecked at the shark in a vein effort to keep it off. Then they disappeared, dragged underwater, swallowed whole. A few feathers remained drifting in the water along with bits of flesh that sank slowly to the bottom, erasing all evidence of the recent drama.66.Young albatrosses fly off East Island _________.A. to avoid being killed by sharksB. to migrate to a warmer climateC. to practise flying with the aid of the windD. to depart for theirnatural habitat at sea67.What happened after a shark missed its attack on a chick?A. The shark turned around to look for another chick.B. The shark dived underwater, waiting for another chance.C. The chick awkwardly flew away beyond the shallow water.D. The chick remained at the same place, unaware of the approaching disaster.68.The word “erasing” in the last sentence can best be replaced by ________.A. recordingB. producingC. removingD.indicating69.The passage mainly tells us about ________.A. the short life of unfortunate seabirdsB. the bloody story in the animal worldC. the unique characteristic of sharksD. the amazing discovery in a remote islandNEED MORE INFORMATION?• Ask your doctor or health care provider • Go to (B)LIPITOR atorvastatin calcium tablets WHO IS LIPITOR FOR?Who can take LIPITOR: • People who cannot lower their cholesterol (胆固醇) enough with diet and exercise• Adults and children over 10Who should NOT take LIPITOR:• Women who are pregnant, may be pregnant, or may become pregnant.

By the year 2050, you might actually get your wish ---- if you are willing to leave your biological body and live in silicon circuits (半导体电路). But long before then, perhaps as early as 2020, some measures will begin offering a semblance of immortality (虚的永生).Researchers are confident that the technology will soon be able to track every waking moment of your life? Whatever you see and hear, all that you say and write, can be recorded, analyzed and added to your personal chronicles(履历). By the year 2030, it may be possible to catch your nervous systems through electrical activities, which would also keep your thoughts and emotions.Researchers at the laboratories of British Telecommunications have given the name of this idea as Soul Catcher. Small electronic equipment will make preparation for Soul Catcher. It would use a wearable supercomputer, perhaps in a wristwatch, with wireless links to microsensors under your scalp(头皮) and in the nerves that carry all five sensory signals. So wearing a video camera would no longer be required.At first, the Soul Catcher's companion system-the Soul Reader-might have trouble copying your thoughts in complete details. Even in 2030, we may still be struggling to understand how the brain is working inside, so reading your thoughts and understanding your emotions might not be possible. But these signals could bekept for the day when they can be transferred to silicon circuits to revitalize mindseverlasting entities (永生实体). Researchers can only wonder what it will be like to wake up one day and find yourself alive inside a machine.For people who choose not to live in silicon, semblance of immortality would not be as useless as they thought. People would know their lives would not be forgotten, but would be kept a record of the human race forever. And future generations would have a much fuller understanding of the past. History would not be controlled by just the rich and powerful, Hollywood stars, and a few thinkers in the upper society.74.The main idea of this passage is that __________.A. human beings long for living foreverB. there are many difficulties in making the Soul CatcherC. people can live forever as technology developsD. the invention of Soul Catcher has great importance75.According to this passage, a Soul Catcher will be______.A. a new machine on which research measures have already been madeB. a new invention used to catch and keep human's thoughtsC. made by British scientists to offer something that looks like living foreverD. made of silicon circuits which can catch people's nervous activity76.We can infer from the passage that semblance of immortality is ______.A. to be a reality sooner or laterB. far from certainC. just an idea that couldn't be realized at allD. a fading hope77.The meaning of the underlined word “revitalize”, in the fourth paragraph isclose to ______.A. make deadB. make famousC. make knownD. makeactiveSection CDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Thomas Schmid can be excused for drifting off to sleep at night with visions of auto parts dancing in his head. As the purchasing director for the Mini brand of the BMW Group, he spends hi8 days searching the world for companies to supply the nearly 2,500 parts – from engines to windshield wipers - that finally come together to produce each distinctively stubby car at the company’s Oxford, England, assembly plant.As recently as the early 1990s Schmid might not have needed to look past Europe to find parts. But over the past decade increased in financial pressures, technical requirements and global vehicle production have forced many automakersto broaden their horizons.“One way to stay competitive is to find low-cost part8, wherever they are,”says John Casesa, an auto industry analyst for Merrill Lynch. “It’s about car companies needing to find the best parts at the best prices.”As BMW prepared for the 2001 launch of the new Mini -_= the original car bearing that name had been produced by the British Motor Corporation from 1959 until 2000 ------ Schmid and his colleagues cast a wide net for parts makers. Today their supply chain includes companies based in the Americas, Asia, and Europe. But determining a part’s provenance (来源) is more complicated than simply identifying its country of origin.Even for Schmid it’s difficult to pin down all the nations ultimately involved in the car’s long supply chain, Market prices of commodities may vary according to everything from weather to global politics; for any given Mini production run, parts made from these resources are apt to come from whatever country is producing them best and cheapest at the time.To reduce costs further, Mini insists that suppliers deliver only enough parts to the Oxford plant. to build the 600-some cars moving through the assembly line in a day. For suppliers like the Canadian firm Intier, this means maintaining a factory near Oxford in order to deliver its cockpits (驾驶座)on time.第II卷(共47分)I.

But many of the expressions using water haveunpleasant meanings. The expression "to be in hot water" is one of them. It is a very old expression. "Hot water" was used 500 years ago to mean being in trouble."To keep your head above water" is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt. A company seeks to keep its head above water during economic hard times. A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job.Another common expression “to hold water” is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. It probably comes from a way of testing the condition of a container. If it can hold water, it is strong and has no holes in it. If your ar gument can hold water, it’s strong, and does not have any holes. If it does not hold water, then it’s weak and not worth debating.“To throwing cold water” also is an expression that deals with ideas or proposals. It means “do not like an idea”. For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has problems, but your wife thorws cold water on the idea, because she says, “A new car costs too much.”Questions:11.

But some argue that the trend is only natural: previously workers were physically separated by walls, whereas offices are increasingly open-plan nowadays, pushing them to erect new barriers."The MP3 player is the simplest way to create your own office," said the company. And Cary Cooper, professor of organization psychology at Lancaster University, and author of "Shut up and Listen: The Truth About How to Communicate at Work," said bans were counter-productive. "Employers are wrong to ban MP3 players from the workplace. Bosses shouldn't care about how employees accomplish their objectives or if they want to engross themselves in MP3 players -- as long as the job gets done," he added.Questions:14. What is the debate about according to the study?15. Who may approve of the using of MP3 players at work according to the report?16. Why do some people believe that the trend is natural?Section CDirections:In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice.
