From the picture, we can see a boy is trying to help a girl climb the statues of some great people , which reflects an uncivilized behaviour during the travel.The phenomenon shows it is necessary for us to regulate our behaviours.There are many reasons accounting for it. First of all , many people’s inappropriate behaviors appear on the Internet, damaging their own images. What’s more, some people, including celebrities, lose their jobs due to their insulted words. Thirdly , with the development of economy , more and more people afford to travel abroad, but their uncivilized behaviours leave a bad impression on foreigners, which has a negative effect on the reputation of our courtry.As students , we should realize the importance of civilized behaviours. Meanwhile , some bad bahaviours , such as writing on the historical buildings, littering or spitting in public places shouldbe avoided. Only by making joint efforts can China become a great civilized nation.。

I decided to help student s write in more detail about what they were thinking when the y solved their problems or when they wrote about their ideas.I chose a common, everyday task that all of us 38 in: choos ing what to wear. When I asked them how they decided what t hey wore that day, there was a(n) 39 moment of silence. It seemed a 40 silly question. A few just said “they wore what they wore.” This was a perfect beginning as it was the same kind of response they were giving as to how they were getting their math answers. I told them how I decided what I wore tha t day.First I checked the weather in the paper and by looking outsid e. I had to decide between wearing a dress or skirt since eithe r one could make a difference in the 41 I wish to give. Most of the girls related to this one. I had to be sure what I wanted t o wear was clean and ironed. They 42 no one ironed clothe s any more. I had to check to see if I had shoes that went with the possible outfit. I thought about what I had worn 43 as I usually don’t wear the same clothes in the same week. I thou ght about the color I felt like wearing. I thought about the 44 I would be doing that day both at school and after school.Each new consideration brought out comments from the stud ents. I could expand on each or just mention it and go on, 45 on how long I wanted the lesson to go. After this discussion, it was clear to students that their thinking process is richer th an they first suspected. It was a good lesson for showing deta ils of the thinking process of which we weren’t 46 .III. Reading Comprehension (22%)Section A （10%）Directions: 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 fit the context.The United States is well-known for its network of major highways designed to help a dr iver get from one place to another in the shortest possible tim e.

For e ach of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Ch oose the one that fits best according to the information given i n the passage you have just read.(A)During the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another. Under standably so. Many of us want our children to have a little tast e of everything, from organized sports to music, dance and m ore. But we can overdo it, leaving our children feeling a little b urnt out, and according to parent educator Diane Loisie, it’s their school work which suffers the most. “After school, if they ar e busy in a number of sporting events, besides, they need to do their homework, then the time they will feel sleepy is in the classroom. Your child needs free time. So if you are filling up t hat after school time, then it is during the day they are going t o be having a break.”Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there is a lot to be gai ned from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and acti vities away. “Relaxing time is important for children. It’s time j ust to do the things they want to do. A child can go up to their room, or they can play around. It doesn’t look like productive ti me; parents certainly wouldn’t be saying “Wow, are they ever leaning things now?” But this relaxing time gives both the bod y and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day. It helps a child prepare for sleep, but it also helps to understand the learning that’s gone on that day.”It’s hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons. After all, many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in th e great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that. However , Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity t o master them. “ When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything, th en what we’re doing is setting them up not be good at one thi ng or gaining a skill”. So choose your children’s activities wise ly. It may be one of the best things you’ve ever done for your kids…and for the family drivers!( ) 57. What is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school?A. They can get bored easily about everything.B. They might have no time to do the homework.C. They might not pay much attention to learning.D. They cannot easily focus on learning during the day.( ) 58. What should we think of children’s playing around aiml essly?A. It is productiveB. It is helpfulC. It is a bad habit.D. It is a waste of time ( ) 59.Why should parents limit the activities our children atte nd?A. Because children have no time.B. Because children cannot learn many thingsC. Because children do not have enough sleep.D. Because children cannot focus on too many activities.( ) 60. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Don’t be children’s driver after schoolB. Choose activities for your children wisely.C. Make your children learn as much as possibleD. Let children learn something from various subjects.(B)Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new chall enges to be met and many decisions to be made; your future begins here.However, you will find college life is different from your previo us school environment. Many of us can be easily overwhelme d by the details of running a well-balanced life. While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learni ng about the experiences of others who have walked the colle ge halls before you.The following you may find of use about life on campus:●Plan well. There are so many new things to do at a new coll ege or university. Give yourself time to make new friends andbecome familiar with the campus, but don’t forget why you are there. Give some time for social activities and manage your ti me wisely.●If you don’t have a “system” for planning your time now (likea day timer, a computer data book), get one. Most of all, don’t depend on your memory.●Don’t miss the guidelines. The restrictions, rules and regulati ons of all kinds can usually be found in your students’ handbo ok. Consider them well-balanced food for thought. What dates are important? What pi eces of paper need to be handed in? What can/cannot you do in your student residence? Who do you need to complete to graduate?●Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of the bedroom and ba throom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper a nd stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table. Conside r this ------ you are paying thousands of dollars for your course. You pa y every time you have to repeat or replace a course.●Build your identity. This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not t o do. Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas. D o not be afraid of the beyond. This is learning to make good choices.( ) 61. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To offer advice on college lifeB. To explain why college life is exciting.C. To describe the importance of college life.D.

Because you will no longer be afraid of the beyond.C. Because you prepare for your future career and life there.D. Because the professors will provide you with a lot of new id eas.( ) 63. The underlined word “know-how” refers to ________.A. An understanding of how things are going at collegeB. Practical knowledge about how to behave and what to do a t collegeC. College halls where rules and regulations are presentedD. An environment completely different from the one you are used to( ) 64. According to the passage, college students _____________.A. needn’t learn from those who went to college before themB. spends as much time as possible on social activitiesC. should know what they have fight for on campusD. are supposed to repeat or replace at least one course(C)Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday drivin g in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. Bu t, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wron g place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype. He told us about an inciden t involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown: “ And they j ust plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes th at they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So again, the GPS is kind of ‘garbage in garbage out ’.”Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has something to do with som e of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Br own: “One problem with a lot of the GPS units is that they hav e a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Bec ause they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means t hat it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it is going to the wrong place.”Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the Universit y of California, San Diego. While there, he worked on a projec t with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on Driving by placing cameras in people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their r esearch. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.” It lists several areas where GPS systems can cau se confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or diffi cult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better, we need a be tter understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.( )65. In Para. 2, Mr. Brown mentioned his friend in the conv ersation to ______.A. laugh at his stupid friendB. describe an example of human errorC. build up his own reputationD. prove the GPS system is only garbage( )66. Which of the following statement would Barry Brown b e most likely to agree with?A. GPS units are to blame for the most GPS service failure.B. We should introduce higher standard for the driving li cens eC. Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS syst ems.D. Some shortcomings of GPS equipment are more likely t o result in service failure.( )67. According to Barry and Eric, which of the following is NOT among the areas of GPS systems that may confuse driv ers?A. Wrong maps.B. Out-dated maps.C. Difficult instructions.D. Timing of GPS commands.( )68. What would be the best title for the text?A. Driving with GPS Can Be Difficult.B. Driving Confusions Can Be Caused By Small Screen.C. Driving without GPS Should Be Much More Conveni ent.D. GPS Equipment In Driving: To Be Deserted Or Impr oved.第II卷（共32分）I.

It’s common that women are not treated equally as men.First, it is a tradition that girls’ education is placed second to boys’, as girls are believed to get married and leave the family sooner or later. Second, most important positions are intended for men only, thus leaving fewer chances in the career for women. It’s generally considered that men are stronger and that women are more likely to give up their careers to care for children.In my opinion, women should have equal chances as men. With hard work and determination, women can also make great achievements.Yours,Li Hua唐山市2014-2015学年度高一年级期末考试听力录音稿（Text1）W: What do you do in your spare time?M: Oh, nothing special.

It is an extra lar ge bat that has got a fox’s head, and that feeds on fruit instead of insects. Like all bats, flying foxes hang themselves by their toes (趾) when at rest, and travel in great crowds when out flying. A group will live in one place for years. Sometimes several hundreds of them occupy a single tree. As they return to the tree towards sunrise, they quarrel among themselves and fight for the best places until long after daylight.Flying foxes have babies once a year, giving birth to only one at a time. At first the mother has to carry the baby on her chest wherever she goes. Later she leaves it hanging up, and brings back food for it to eat. Sometimes a baby bat falls to the ground. Then the older ones fly down and try to pick it up. If they fail to do so, it will die. Often hundreds of baby bats can be found lying on the ground at the foot of the tree.。

The power of the blast shattered（使粉碎）nearby shop windows and ripped the stainless（不生锈的）steel rubbish can to pieces.One passer-by，identified（确认）only as Zhang，said she was shocked by the noise and saw a lot of pedestrians lying on the ground when she got to the scene.Thirteen of the injured were taken to a local hospital after the explosion. A doctor there said five were in serious condition but already out of danger after emergency treatment. The others were just slightly hurt.The cause of the explosion is still under investigation, said an officer with the Tongren police, but refused to speculate as to the cause.36．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A.

Market Blast Kills 1 ,Injures 21BWomen turn to online shoppingWomen have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping，according to a study published last week in the US.For Years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women，but during the 2004 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women.“It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming”，said Lee Rainie，director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group，which carried out the study.Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic（显著的）increases in the online gift-buying population this time around.However，three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004．They worried about credit card security，or just compared online prices with off-line prices，then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“But even if shoppers don‟t buy online，websites are becoming promotion tools for stores，”said Dan Hess，vice president of Comscore Networks Inc．Hess said that actually most stores‟ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.“It‟s all about making the shoppin g experience more efficient，more reliable and more comfortable，” Hess said.40．Which of the following statements is true?A．There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2004．B．Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.C．People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.D．More women shopped online than men in 2004.41．From the passage we can infer that________.A．men usually decide how to spend money in the familyB．women usually decide what to buy in the familyC．the Internet is used in all the shops.D．more and more shops will sell their goods online.42．According to Dan Hess，shopping online___________.A．is unsafe B．is convenient C．is a waste of time D．is cheaper 43．What can we know from the passage?A．American people only buy gifts in holidays.B．Shopping online is fun for women.C．Shopping off-line provides better service.D．Young people like to do gift-shopping online.CA few days ago I asked my sons‟ governess（女家庭教师）Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia, ”I said, “Let‟s settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you‟re too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month...”“Forty.”“No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, you‟ve been here two months, so...”“Two months and five days.”“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays... you know yo u didn‟t work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays... ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but--- not a word.“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off ... that leaves. hmm.... forty one dollars. Correct？”Julia‟s left eye reddene d with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but --- still not a word.“Around New Year‟s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but--- forget it. When didn‟t I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect （疏忽）, Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick‟s shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”“You didn‟t. ”sobbed Julia.“But I made a note of it.”“Well... if you say so.”“Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.”Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”“Really? You see now, and I didn‟t know that! Take three from fourteen.. leaves el even. Here‟s your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !”I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.“Merci （法语: 谢谢）,”she whispered.I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this …merci‟?” I asked.“For the money. ”“But you know I‟ve cheated you - robbed you ! I have actually stolen from you ! Why this…merci‟？”“In my other places they didn‟t give me anything at all.”“They didn‟t give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you... I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you... Is it really possible to be so spineless （懦弱）?Why didn‟t you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws（爪）---to be such a fool?”Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression,“It is possible.”I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little“merci”several times and went out. I looked after her and thought,“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world !”44．What shocked the writer was Julia‟s ________.A. nervousness in front of her bossB. acceptance of injusticeC. shyness when talking about moneyD. unwilling to express herself 45．The writer said, “Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws?” He was actually telling the governess ________.A. to be more aggressive(侵略的)B. to be more careful in her workC. to protect her rightD. to live independently46．At the end of the story, the writer said,“ How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!” to show ________.A. his understanding of Julia‟s anxietyB. his worry about Julia‟s futureC. his concern on the living condition of working - class peopleD. his sympathy for the mental state of the weak47．From the story, we can tell that Julia‟s employer was ________.A. greedy but honestB. ill - tempered but warm - heartedC. strict but forgivingD. none of the aboveDYou are about to say something to your younger brother when he gestures that he‟s got a phone message.“But I didn‟t hear the ring，”you say.“Because you are too old，”your brother answers.Don‟t get mad. He‟s just telling you the truth.Teenagers in Britain and the US have a weapon against the older generation，especially parents and teachers. It‟s a ring tone that many adults cannot hear.According to a recent report from the New York Times，in some Manhattan schools，students have begun using the technology. Cellphone use is usually forbidden in class. But using the high-pitched （频率）ring tone，students can successfully exchange phone messages without being found by their teachers.The technology relies on the fact that most adults gradually lose the ability to hear high-pitched sounds, It was developed in Britain but has recently spread to America by the Internet.However，the technology was originally aimed at annoying teenagers，not the other way around.Called the Mosquito，it was marketed last year by a Welsh security company. It is an ear-splitting 17-kilohertz buzzer （蜂鸣器）designed to help shopkeepers get rid of young people hanging around in front of their stores. Humans can hear sounds taking place in a frequency range between 200 and 20,000 hertz，as the research shows. But our hearing gradually becomes worse when we grow up.48．Students in some Manhattan schools have begun using the technology，so they can_________．A．talk in class without being heard by their teachersB．use cellphones to send messages in classC．hear better in class than their teachersD．improve their hearing ability49．The underlined phrase “the other way around” implies the ________.A．adults are annoyed nowB．teenagers are annoyed nowC．adults are not annoyed nowD．both adults and teenagers are annoyed now50．According to this passage，what will happen to a person when he is over twenty?A．He can hear sounds with frequencies between 200 and 20,000 hertz.B．He can hear sounds with a frequency of 17-kilohertz.C．He cannot hear sounds with frequencies between 200 and 20,000 hertz.D．He cannot hear sounds with a frequency of 17-kilohertz.51．It can be concluded from the passage that _________.A．older people hear no better than teenagersB．older people had better not use cellphonesC．teenagers hear better than old peopleD．teenagers had better not use cellphonesEIn 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple cameras. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another French, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerre‟s process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple. The photographers had to carry lots of films and processing equipment. But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States. After 1840s daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.Mathew Brady was a well - known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very life - like and full of personality.Brady was also the first person to take pictures of war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography---Photographers could buy films ready-made in rolls（卷）. So they did not have to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later meaning that they did not have to carry lotsof equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun.

And the visits increase with age, as does the number of health problems.While it is true that doctors, treatments and medicines cannot be totally done away with, you can at least keep things within the limits of reason just with a smile every now and then. You can improve your health with just a smile, and if that sounds funny you can laugh, but it was not a joke by any means.The reasons are not hard to guess. Everyone likes to laugh and have fun, but whatyou might not know is that the more you laugh and the happier you are, the better your health will be. This is no joke. Research says that the chances of a heart attack are reduced by a huge amount for those who ___________.If you love to laugh, you are all set to live a healthy stress-free life. Nowadays, the Internet is an endless source of humorous sites where people spend hours in order to do away with their boredom, or even when they are not bored. By reading jokes, watching funny videos or playing fun games they all knowingly or unknowingly ensure that they see the doctor less.

AMost people agree that eating healthy food is important. But sometimes making good food choices can be difficult. Now, there are apps that can help people learn about the food they eat to improve their health and their dining out experience.OpenTable appOpenTable app helps people choose restaurants when they want to go out to eat. It is a free service that shows users restaurant available based on where and when they want to dine. It gives users points when they make reservations(保留，预定), which can add up to discounts on restaurant visits.Max McCalman’s Cheese & Wine Pairing appWine and cheese can be a great combination. But which wines go best with which cheeses? Max McCalman’s Cheese & Wine Pairing app can help. It provides inf ormation about hundreds of different cheeses and suggests wines to pair with each.

LocalEatsD. Max Mc Calman’s Cheese & Wine Pairing.3. Where does this passage most probably come from?A. A science textbook.B. A tourist map.C. A museum guide.D. A technology report.BIt is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can’t fix the damage. Sometimes, they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’ blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys’ brains. When the brain’s temperature was 10℃, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like what they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.4. The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that .A. the time is too short for doctorsB. the patients are often too nervousC. the damage is extremely hard to fixD. the blood-cooling machine might break down5. With Dr. White’s new idea, the oper ation on the damaged brain .A. can last as long as 30 minutesB. can keep the brain’s blood warmC. can keep the patient’s brain healthyD. can help monkeys do different jobs6. What is the right order of the steps in the operation?a. send the cooled blood back to the brainb. stop the blood to the brainc. have the blood cooled downd. operate on the brainA. a, b, c, dB. c, a, b, dC. c, b, d, aD. b, c, d, a7. What mainly makes the brain operation possible?A. Taking the blood out of the brain.B. Trying the operation on monkeys first.C. Having the blood go through a machine.D. L owering the brain’s temperature.CIf we want to deal with the association(社交) between boys and girls properly, here are some “dos and don’ts” for you to follow.Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep in touch with the other sex in public instead of in secret.Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. You can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.Don’t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is full ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.8. We should keep in touch with the other sex in following ways EXCEPT .A. with a good state of mindB. in real friendshipC. in publicD. in secret9. If you are a shy person, you can .A. find friends with the same interest and hobbyB. only have a few friends of the same sexC. not make friends with the other sexD. not fall in love with other students easily10. What does the underlined sentence probably mean?A. Don’t get into the habit of early love.B. Don’t be addicted to early love.C. Don’t be trapped in early love.D. Don’t be confused by early love.11. The main idea of the passage is to .A. tell students to keep away from early loveB. give some advice on how to associate between boys and girlsC. tell students how to make friendsD. teach boys how to talk with girlsDTwelve years ago, I arrived in Central Florida from Puerto Rico. I had heard of a job opportunity and decided to pursue it, but it never became a reality. I quickly learned that being alone without resources in an unfamiliar city was not a comfortable situation to be in.Once my limited funds ran out I became homeless and spent a year and a half living on the streets of Orlando. Apart from feeling not being noticed and missing my family, I had to face another challenge—hunger.For the first time in my life, I, as a foreign man, who had lived my life in the relative comfort of the middle class, understood the frustration someone feels when they don’t get enough to eat. I clearly remembered having run a distance of more than 7 miles on many occasions just to make it to a local feeding program before they closed at 7 pm.Once the need for food was met, the next challenge would arise—where to find a place to sleep for the night. Fortunately, local programs like the Coalition for the Homeless, Second Harvest Food Bank and the Wayne Densch Center were an important part of my ability to survive my painful experience.With the help of these programs, I was accepted by a college scholarship program through the Coalition and obtained two degrees from Valencia.My experience has helped me understand that devoting my life to helping others offers lasting rewards. Today, I am employed as Childhood Hunger Programs Manager at Second Harvest Food Bank and oversee the summer feeding, Hi-Five Kids Pack, and Kids Caféprograms. I am so proud to be able to distribute food resources to those wonderful programs and help hundreds more like me.12. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?A. The author wouldn’t go to Central Florida again.B. The author felt hopeless in Central Florida at that time.C. Florida was not a good place for people living there at that time.D. People like to live with friends in a familiar city.13. Why did the author run a distance of over 7 miles on many occasions?A. Because he didn’t want to be late for work there.B. Because he desired to get some food to eat.C. Because he went there to help the poor.D. Because he helped distribute food resources to the poor.14. Before being accepted by a college scholarship program, the author .A. had lived with his relatives happilyB. had won his degree in a universityC. had been struggling financiallyD. had lost hope of facing the future15. From his experience, the author learns that .A. people can learn a lesson from difficultiesB. people may suffer a lot in an unfamiliar cityC. people should not give up even in troubleD. people might be rewarded if they’re kind to others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（A、B、C、D、E、F、G）选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

The old man’s beard was 31 by winter’s frost while he waited for a ride across the river. The wait seemed endless. Then he heard the weak sound of hooves(马蹄) advancing along the frozen path. 32 , he watched as several horsemen rounded the bend. He let the first one pass by, then another. As the last rider drew near where the old man sat, the old man 33 the rider’s eye and said, “Sir, would you mind giving an old man a ride to the other side of the river?”Reining(勒住) his horse, the rider replied, “Sure thing.” Seeing the old man unable to 34 his half-frozen body from the ground, the horseman helped the old man onto the horse and took him to his 35 .

It could be -20℃and there’d be Dad, removing snow, or perhaps chopping some wood --- his coat thrown aside--- wearing a shirt , a cap, and a pair of gloves.“Aren’t you cold, Dad?” I’d ask. “No,” Dad would reply. “I’m not cold--- working too hard to be cold.”Many times I wondered whether my father was an extremely tough man, or whether he was foolish.One time when I was quite young, perhaps five or so, I went ice fishing with Dad. It was a bright, clear day—and bitterly cold.After we’d been out on the ice for a little while, my feet started getting cold.“ Daddy, my feet are cold.” I said.“Tell you what,” he said. “Walk around. Make some circles in the snow. See how many different patterns you can make. That will get your feet warm.”Now, I was just a little girl at the time but I remember thinking, “How in the world will walking around in the snow make my feet warm? Dad must be out of mind.”But he was my father, after all. I made circles in the snow. I made squares. Pretty soon I was having so much fun making patterns in the snow.I forgot about my feet being cold.Now, all these years later, I know, too, from personal experience how my father was able to take his coat off and work outside in the winter wearing just a shirt, a cap and gloves. Because I do it, too. “Aren’t you cold?” my husband asked one winter day. “No,” I replied. “I’m not cold—working too hard to be cold.”I hope my husband has decided I’m both tough and smart. But I guess quite a bit of the time he thinks I’m foolish.Wherever Dad is in that great big farm in the sky—I’m sure he can’t help but smile whenever I take my coat off while I’m working outside in the winter.41 When the author’s feet felt cold, her fathe r advised her to____.A. go home alone firstB. keep walking in the snowC. draw pictures in the snow with fingersD. light a fire on the ice42 Hearing her father’s advice, the author thought her father____.A. forgettableB. warm-heartedC. crazyD. cruel43 What might the author’s husband think of her?A. ToughB. SmartC. BraveD. Foolish44 The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to ______.A. remember her tough and smart fatherB. show how her father cared about herC. describe memories of her childhoodD. explain why her father loved her so muchBDo you know the Eiffel Tower when you see a picture of it? Of course you do! So do a lot of other people. In fact, I believe more people recognize the Eiffel Tower than any other famous structure in the whole world. That long, long capital A is easy to remember.The Eiffel Tower is the famous symbol of the city of Paris. It also stands for France just as the Statue of Liberty stands for the United States.The Eiffel Tower was not very well liked at first, even though the design had been chosen out of seven hundred designs. A contest had been held to find a design for a tower to be built in Paris by 1889.That year would be one hundred years after the war known as the French Revolution. The French Revolution marked the time when the French people broke away from the rule of kings. It was a very important thing to all Frenchmen, and they wanted a special tower to be built to mark the 100 years.When his design was chosen, Eiffel was fifty-four, rich, and well known for his fine work. He had already designed dams, churches, railroad stations, bridges, harbors and, of course, the framework of the Statue of Liberty. But it was the Eiffel Tower that made him really famous. At first, the French hated the tower. When it was begun in 1887, people called it ugly and useless. They also said that it couldn’t be built safely, and that it would fall down. As the tower gets close to her nineties, she is still in great shape. And the French people have changed their minds. Now they are very proud of their Eiffel Tower. They even think she is beautiful!45. The writer believes that the Eiffel Tower is ___ than any other famous structure in the world.A. tallerB. olderC. better designedD. better known46. The French Revolution was important to the French because ____.A. it gave France a new queenB. it got rid of a bad kingC. it ended the rule of kingsD. they built the Eiffel Tower 100 years later47. The Eiffel Tower is easy to remember because of its __.A. shapeB. colorC. sizeD. history48. What does this passage mainly tell us?A. Eiffel designed many different kinds of things.B. The reasons why many people know the Eiffel Tower.C. Some opinions that the Eiffel Tower should not be built then.D. Some interesting facts about the Eiffel Tower.CKing's College Summer SchoolKing's College Summer School is an annual( 每年的) training programfor high school students at all levels who want to improve their English.Courses are given by the teachers of King' s College and other collegesin New York.

You can get in touch with the school by e-mail or by telephone.DIf you’ve ever seen a James Bond movie you’ll know that the hero gets around in a smart Aston Martin car. Even if you know full well that you could never afford such an expensive vehicle, you don’t forget the name, or the car. Why? You have been subjected to product placement.Companies pay for a film to place their products in the movie. Product placement took off in the West in the 1980s and is now catching on in China. Two Hunan Satellite TV series are recent examples：Ugly Wudi and Let’s Go Watch the Meteror Shower（《一起去看流星雨》）. Shampoo, mobile phones, cars—anything can be product-placed. Advertisers value the great appeal (吸引力) of the movies, knowing that a successful film can showcase their goods to hundreds of thousands of viewers. But when product placement takes over, artistic value can take a back seatCai Zhiyong has been product-placing for years. The Beijing-based advertiser admits there is a conflict between art and business. He explains cash-strapped filmmakers often have to sacrifice (牺牲) the quality of their work because they need money from advertisers. In the original story for Meteor Shower, the heroine’s mother owned an ice cream shop. But no ice cream company wanted to give away money to the film. For this reason, the story was changed. In the film the man drinks 20 cups of milk tea where it was originally intended that he would eat ice cream. Even here incredible, you may see the power of business over the movies, since the flim was perhaps written so that a product could be placed—whether it was ice cream or milk tea.53 James Bond movies are mentioned in the first paragraph to show _________.A. how popular James Bond isB. how great the Aston Martin car isC. how to make a movie more artisticD. how well product placement works54 Product placement can have a bad effect on the _____ of a movie.A. sound effectB. appealC. commercial successD. artistic value55 What does the underlined word “cash-strapped” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A. Short of moneyB. Self-moneymakingC. With a lot of cash.D. Intending to earn money56 We can learn from the example of Meteor Shower that _____.A. business has a big say in the movieB. the original story was not good for a movieC. filmmakers care more about making money.D. milk tea companies are more successful than ice cream companies.EFrom the earliest times, man has been interested in art. People have often worked together to collect and save the world’s art treasures. Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries.The Louvre has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort(炮台). In 1190, it was the king’s castle with high walls and a round tower. It had a moat to keep out his enemies.Over the years，the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle was no longer needed as a fort. The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens.During times of peace, new treasures were brought in. During days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged.When Francis I became king of France in 1515, he brought in artists from many countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy. Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is the best known painting in the museum today. In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum, just as it is now. It isa place where art treasures have been saved for everyone to enjoy.57. On the whole, this passage is mainly about ____A. an art museum called the LouvreB. an Italian artist named Leonardo da VinciC. a king of France named Francis ID. the best knownpainting in Louvre58. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. The Louvre used to be a fort a very long time ago.B. French kings and queens once lived in it.C.

A Every month, Julia and her cousins would go to visit their grandparents. They would be excited because their grandfather would give them a few coins. Then they would buy toys or sweets. The grandparents commented that, behaving like this, the children would never learn to manage their money. So they planned a special test, in whichthe children would have to show, over the course of a year, just what they could manage to get with those few coins. Some thought that they would save their money, but Ruben and Nico continued spending it all on sweets. So they give up saving. Monty decided to manage his money by exchanging it: buying and selling things, or betting (打赌) it with others. Soon he surprised the whole family. He had accumulated (积聚) lots of money. However, Monty was not very careful, and he got involved in more and more risky deals. A few months later he became penniless after a losing bet. Alex, had a will of iron. He saved the money and at the end of the year he had collected more money than anyone. Even better, with so much money, he managed to buy sweets at a reduced price, so that on the day of the competition he was presented with enough sweets for much more than a year. And even then, he still had enough left over for a toy. He was the clear winner, and other children learned the advantages of knowing how to save and how to wait. There was also Ju lia. Poor Julia didn’t enjoy the competition, because even though she had had a wonderful secret plan, she had spent her money without giving her plan enough time to work. However, she was so sure that her plan was a good one, that she decided to carry on with it, and maybe change the ex pressions on her relatives’ faces, who had seemed to be saying “What a poor girl shel is. She couldn’t manage to save anything”. When she was about to complete the second year of her plan, Julia surprised everyone by turning up at the grandparents’ house with a violin and a lot of money. She did it rea lly well. 21. Who saved nothing at the end of the first year? A. Ruben, Julia and Alex B. Ruben, Nico and Monty C. Ruben, Monty and Julia D. Ruben, Nico and Alex 22. Why did the grandparents plan a test on the children? A. Because they wanted the children to learn to spend money. B. Because they wantedthe children to learn to save money. C. Because they wanted the children to learn to manage money. D. Because they didn’t want the children to buy toys and sweets any more. 23. From Monty’s story, the children learned ______________________. A. to save and to wait. B. to buy and to sell things C. to set a achievable goal. D. to be careful and self-disciplined 24. The underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph means ______________. A. Julia will bring disasters to herself and her family. B. Julia is not good at managing money. C. Julia is too stupid to do anything well. D. Julia has so many secrets that nobody likes her. B As weather cools across the United States, a growing number of Americans visit farms. They harvest fruits, enjoy hay wagon rides and walk in the fields. These people are called“agri-tourists.” They improve the economy of rural areas and help farmers increase their profits. School children are walking in a corn field maze. The corn is cut into tricky passageways that make it difficult to find a way out. The children are from Yorktown Elementary School in Bowie Maryland. They have traveled to Montpelier Farms in Pri nce George’s County which is also in Maryland. The farm is about 40 kilometers from The White Hou se. Debbie Pierson is the student’s teacher. “We go on these kind of field trips so that the children will have a hands-on experience of what it’s like to be on a farm,” Pierson said. In Loudoun County Virginia, there are farms where grapes are grown for use in making wine. Many of the farms let people visit, and drink the wine that is made there. Bill Hatch owns the Zephaniah Farm Vineyard. H e holds wine tast ings in his home. “We are doubling the number of visitors to our farm every year. We have an average of 250 people on a weekend,” Hatch said. As more people visit farms, more farmers are adding activities in which visitors can takepart. Malcolm Baldwin owns WeatherLea Farm and Vineyard in Loudoun County. Six years ago, he began letting people be married at his farm. They can also sleep at the farm overnight. Mr. Baldwin says the money he makes from these activities let him keep his small farm operating. “B ut without the animals, and without the vines, the wedding business wouldn’t be as profitable (有利可图的), because people like to see the vines. They like to see the animals and without which I don’t think this will be a popular place,” Baldwin said. 25. We ca n infer from the first paragraph that people always go for field trips in _______. A. Spring B. Summer C. Autumn D. Winter 26. The underlined word “maze” in the passage is similar to“_______”. A. puzzle B. trip C. house D. activity 27. On Malcolm Baldwin’s farms, visitors can ________. A. taste the wine made in the USA B. raise and hunt animals C. do wedding business D. have fun as well as bring him money C It was 8:35 am. My girls and I were rushing through the front door of the school as I yelled, “Hurry up! The bell was about to…” RIIIIIIIING! The girls froze and their eyes widened. My shoulders sagged(下垂). We were too late. We were often late for school last year, and every time we ran breathlessly into the attendance I heard myself making silly excuses to Beth, the long-suffering secretary: our alarm didn’t go off; there was so much traffic; it was my husband’s fault; the dog…I didn’t know-something about the dog! As time passed by, my lying became a habit, and it raised a red flag for me. Lying - even in the form of “harmless” excuses - means we’re ashamed. Shame is different from guilt. Healthy guilt is fair and helpful. But shame can be dangerous. Nothing ruins the connection between two people more quickly than shame and lies do. Anyone trying to live a healthy and honest life must avoid shame at any cost.I was trying to live a healthy and honest life, but my excuses were keeping me from reaching my goal. So I vowed（发誓）to do something different . The next time we were late, I went to the attendance office. When Beth asked me to fill in a form with the reason for being late, I told the truth. “These days, we are very tired and disorganized,” I wrote. Beth looked down at that form, and the slowly looked up at me. She gave us a warm and big smile and her blue eyes twinkled. She started laughing. So did my kids and I. We’re all imperfect human beings. We make mistakes. Everyone does make mistakes. However, it’s OK to tell the truth about them. It’s OK to forgive ourselves and promise to try again. 28. By writing Paragraph1, the author wants to show that . A. her daughters were not easy to deal with B. she didn’t have an organized lifestyle C. her daughters didn’t like going to school D. she lived a lazy life with her daughters 29. What do we know about the author from Paragraph2?A. She lived an extremely busy life.B. She li ked complaining about life.C. She liked making fun of other people.D. She liked making excuses for her lateness. 30. We learn that as time went by, the author . A. found that other people liked lying to her B. realized the harm of lying and wanted to change C. found that shame had a positive effect on her life D. realized that she could no longer live a healthy life 31. The last paragraph shows when we make a mistake we should . A. blame it on different things B. never let others know it is our fault C. never forgive ourselves for making it D. forgive ourselves and try harder next time D Wouldn’t it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away? Well, you can. The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere. With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecaster. Who knows, youmight even do as well as meteorologists（气象学家）. Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecast. They collect data（数据）from all over the world. Then they put it into powerful, high speed computers. This does give the meteorologists an advantage, because they can track（追踪）weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country. But you have an advantage, too. You can look at the sky and get your data directly. A meteorologist uses a computer forecast that’s several hours old to make a local forecast. What are you seeing when you look at a cloud? “A picture of moisture(水汽)is doing in the atmosphere,” says meteorologist Peter Leavitt. There’s moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you don’t see it, because it’s in the form of an unseeable gas called water vapor. Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to caus e the waster vapor to change to liquid water. It’s called condensation(凝结), and we see it happen all the time (for example, when humid air from the shower hits the cold glasses of a mirror). When enough water vapor condenses（冷凝）, droplets(小滴）come in the air. These droplets scatter(分散) light. A cloud is seen. Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come. Changes in clouds show changes in the atmosphere. You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds, following each other in order, can signal an approaching storm. But don’t take our word for it; see for yourself. 32. According to the passage, an ordinary person might read the weather forecast as well as meteorologists_________. A. with some simple practice looking up at the sky B. with the help of the high-speed computers C. through complex (复杂的) instruments D. by visiting a weather station 33.Meteorologists can make their weather forecast . A. by using information of the appearance of the clouds only B. by collecting data from parts of the world C. by collecting and analyzing（分析）the data D. by watching the sky 34. According to the passage, your advantage in weather forecast is that .A. you have a high-speed computerB. you observe the sky and get your data directlyC. you have more instruments at homeD. you can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country 35. This passage mainly tells us about how to . A. train ourselves as meteorologists B. be an assistant to a meteorologist C. forecast the weather by ourselves D. broadcast the weather forecast 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
