考试用时120分钟）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AShanghai Disney Resort has revealed its ticket prices for Disneyland claiming the lowest of all 12 Disney parks and six resorts in the world.Shanghai Disneyland ticket prices are set at 499 yuan (75 dollars) for the grand opening period (June 16-30, 2016) and regular price at 370 yuan. Its regular price for a one-day ticket is lower than its peers in Hong Kong, which is priced at 539 yuan and the Disneyland in Tokyo in Japan at 374 yuan. The regular price for a one-day ticket at the two parks in Los Angeles is $139. Tickets for Shanghai’s Disneyland will be on sale on March 28, 2016.Shanghai’s Disneyland will have it s opening day on June 16, 2016. All tickets will be date-specific and valid for admission only on the date purchased.Peak pricing for high-demand dates, including designated holidays, summer holidays and weekends, is set at 499 yuan. Special pricing will be provided to categorized guests: children (1.4m and below), seniors (65 years old and above) and guests with disabilities will receive discounts of 25 percent, infants (1m and below) receive free admission. A two-day ticket will be available at a five percent discount. On March 28, 2016, guests can obtain information on tickets through several official channels.The project has been under construction for more than six years now. Jun 16－that is, 6-16-2016－has been apparently chosen as the date of opening because the three 6s are believed to be auspicious, foretelling success.Real estate professionals believe any success of Shanghai Disney Resort would entail all-round benefits for the area. For example, visitors in huge numbers would likely spark a retail boom in Shanghai."Supplies of retail properties are really limited now and prices have more than doubled in the past 12 months. Obviously, investors believe that even a 10 square meter space for a noodle stand will be really profitable if it is close enough to Disneyland," said Lu Jianxin, a real estate agent with Shanghai Huayu Property Ltd.21.According to the passage, in which place is the regular price for a one-day ticket highest?A. Shanghai.B. Los Angeles.C. Tokyo.D. Hong Kong.22.According to the passage, how much will the two-day tickets cost if a couple go to ShanghaiDisneyland on July 16, 2016, Saturday?A. About 1900 yuan.B. About 2000 yuan.C. About 1500 yuan.D. About 1400 yuan.23.What does the underlined word “auspicious” mean?A. suspiciousB. successfulC. luckyD. unsuccessful24.What does this passage most probably come from?A. A school textbook.B. A news report.C. An advertisement.D. An introduction of a scenic spot.BGregory Talley used to sleep in a park, at an airport, or under a bridge. The 50-year-old has been homeless for more than 10 years. “It is hard. It’s hard to live homeless. You filled every day trying to find out where you are going to get something to eat. If I hadn’t found wonderful Fairfax Coun ty Kennedy Shelter, I wouldn’t know where I would be by now. I might be dead,” Talley said.According to 2015 government data, more than a half-million people in the United States are homeless on any given night. As many homeless shelters across the U.S. remain at or near capacity, the country faces complicated challenges. In his fiscal 2017 budget, President Obama proposed spending $11 billion over the next 10 years to fight family homelessness.The Kennedy Shelter is one of the facilities New Hope Housing provides for homeless families and individuals in the Washington suburbs. Pam Michell has dedicated her life to making the lives of this vulnerable population better as executive director of the nonprofit organization.“I went to Africa in 1985. And I sa w an immense amount of poverty, but I saw so much hope. And I wondered what I was doing at home in my middle-class American life and decided that I should try to do something that would bring hope to people,” Michell said. “It is convenient, homelessness j ust happened to be what was around me. So I picked that,” she added.When Michell began working with New Hope Housing 25 years ago, its three shelters had about 80 beds. Now, it has 350 beds and serves about 1,500 homeless people every year. Michell has expanded the program beyond just providing beds for the night.“We do outreach, we do prevention, we do permanent housing, we do transitional housing. We have an education program with all sorts of different things to move people to end their homelessness,” she said. “Our Out of Poverty program tries to teach the shelter residents self-reliance and work values, and includes courses on planning and personal responsibility.”25.Gregory Talley is mentioned in the first paragraph in order to __________.A. introduce the topicB. support the main ideaC. draw the reader’s attentionD. raise the reader’s awareness26.From the passage we know that the Kennedy Shelter ____________.A. is a nonprofit organizationB. is a place for the homeless to spend the nightC. is located in WashingtonD.C. D. provides 350 beds for 1500 people27.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. There were homeless people everywhere Michell went.B. New Hope Housing does not just provide beds for the night.C. New Hope Housing has three shelters for the homeless.D. Michell started to work with New Hope Housing in 1985.CAs an English learner, you want to be able to understand and to discuss a subject. You want to have the ability to express your opinions, and to support that opinion with a clear argument. You can learn these skills by learning how to debate.In everyday conversation, Americans use the word debate to talk about discussions among people. When people debate, they give their own opinions about a topic.Another use of the word debate describes a more formal discussion. Debaters work on a team to convince a judge that their opinion about a topic has more value than the opposite side’s.Debate is part of the tradition of forensics started in Ancient Greece. The Greeks thought that, in a democracy, people needed to have certain skills. These skills included speaking in public in favor of an opinion, and providing evidence to support one’s opinion.The Greeks supported the development of these skills by holding contests. Western education today continues the tradition with competitions between debate teams.Charles LeBeau wrote a book with Michael Lubetsky called “Discover Debate” to help teachers understand a simple way to teach debate. The method depends on creating a kind of visual aid known as a graphic organizer. The visual aid reflects the way we talk about critical thinking and developing an argument.Students work with the idea of building their argument just like they would build a house. They would draw their house on paper or a whiteboard and list:•The focus of the discussion or the debate is the roof.•The reasons and arguments are the “pillars” to support the roof.•The data, numbers, examples, and expert opinions provide the concrete foundation.The house approach gives students who have not experienced a debate in their own culture a way to plan what they will say to support their message.28.You are debating when ____________.A. you have an idea and discuss it with your classmates or friendsB. you are learning a foreign language and discussing a subjectC. you speak in protection of your opinions trying to convince othersD. you express your opinions in a competition before a judge29.The book “Discover Debate” is intended for ___________.A. teachersB. debatersC. speech competitorsD. English students30.What can be inferred from the passage?A. Ancient Greeks were fond of debating with opponents.B. Ancient Greeks made speeches in public to express their ideas.C. There are debating lessons in all Western schools today.D. Drawing a house before making a speech helps the speaker a lot.31.What does the underlined sentence (the last paragraph) suggest?A. A house is helpful to planning a speech.B. The house approach is useful for language learners.C. It’s a good idea for English learners to learn the house approach.D. Debate is a must for all students in the world.DThere was daylight. Glass could tell that much without moving, but otherwise he had no idea of the time. He lay where he fell down the day before. His anger had carried him to the edge of the clearing (森林的空地), but his fever stopped him there.The bear had hurt Glass from the outside and now the fever hurt from within. It felt to Glass as if hehad been hollowed out. He trembled uncontrollably, dreaming of the warmth of a fire. Looking around, he saw that no smoke rose from the remains of the fire in the campsite. No fire, no warmth.He wondered if he could at least go back to his blanket, and made a tentative effort to move. The movement caused something deep in his chest. He felt a cough coming on and tensed his stomach muscles to stop it. The muscles were painful from earlier battles, and despite his effort, the cough broke out. It felt like his inside was being torn out through his throat.When the pain of coughing decreased, he focused again on the blanket.I have to get warm. It took all his strength to lift his head. The blanket lay about twenty feet away. He rolled from his side to stomach, moving his left arm out in front of his body. Glass bent his left leg, then straightened it to push. Between his one good arm and his one good leg, he push-dragged himself across the clearing. Each breath drew like a cutting through his throat, and he felt again the trembling in his wounded back. He stretched to grab the blanket when it came within reach. He pulled it around his shoulders, embracing the weighty warmth of the Hudson Bay wool. The he passed out.Through the long morning, Glass’s body fought against the infection of his wounds. He slipped between consciousness, unconsciousness and a confusing state, aware of his surroundings like random pages of a book, scattered glimpses of a story with no continuity to bind them. When conscious, he wished desperately to sleep again, if only to gain respite (暂缓) from the pain. Yet each interlude (中间) of sleep came with a terrifying thought that he might never wake again. Is this what it’s like to die?32.From the passage, we know that __________.A. Glass was a hunter who used to hunt bears in the forestB. Even though Glass was wounded, he killed the bear at lastC. After fighting with a bear, Glass was seriously woundedD. Glass lay in the clearing for a week without being found33.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. All the other people were searching for Glass when he was lying in the clearing.B. Glass managed to put the blanket around his shoulders before he passed awayC. With one good arm and one good leg, Glass pushed-dragged himself back homeD. The whole morning Glass was sometimes conscious and sometimes unconscious34.Paragraph 5 of this passage mainly tells us ___________.A. how Glass was wounded by a bear and diedB. what happened to Glass before he recoveredC. why Glass tried to get his blanket backD. how Glass struggled to keep himself warm35.We can infer from the passage that ___________.A. a desire for life supported Glass to struggle against hardshipsB. life in the forest used to be hard for both animals and manC. Hudson Bay was a small city where best wool was producedD. Glass wanted to sleep as much as possible to recover soon第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The show has been successful because it shows how difficult it is for those on a low income to realize the American Dream.In the show, Max Black is a diner waitress in Brooklyn, New York. Despite her strong personality, Max feels she is going to live a life of debt, bad jobs and no future. The other main character in the show is newly-hired waitress Caroline Channing, who was a billionaire’s daughter with no real job. But now she is broke and homeless because her father was arrested for financial fraud (诈骗).While Max had been poor for a long time when the show began, Caroline was not ready for the hard reality of being broke. On her first day of work, Caroline made just $2 in tips through incompetent job performance. However, as a clever graduate of the Wharton School of Business, she also made more than $300 selling Max’s cupcakes at a high price. The two soon became friends, roommates and business partners with the goal of earning $250,000 to open their own cupcake shop.To let fans know how the girls are doing, each episode ends with a title card showing the current total of the money they have saved.The situation that the two girls find themselves in comes from the 2008 economic crisis, a problem that meant that people in the US who once had a lot of money ended up in the same position as people who never had anything at all. As Alyssa Rosenberg noted in The Atlantic magazine, “2 Broke Girls is about how people (not the super-rich) began to see themselves as part of the same uncertain economy, rather than divided into working-class, middle-class and others.”4. What is the passage mainly about?A. The pure friendship of two American girls from different classes.B. The unique characteristics of two American girls from different classes.C. How two American girls overcome their parents’ disapproval to do business.D. How two American girls from different classes struggle to start a business?5. In the TV show, Max Black and Caroline Channing _____________.A. have more or less similar families and education backgrounds.B. are both clever, optimistic and ambitious school graduates.C. have different personalities but share the same dream.D. save a large amount of money by working in a cupcake shop.6. What is the social problem reflected in this TV show according to the passage?A. In the US, the poor suffered more than the wealthy in the 2008 economic crisis.B. The 2008 economic crisis put everybody in the US in the same position.C. The 2008 economic crisis somewhat bridged the gap between the rich and the poorD. Some people suffered from the 2008 economic crisis, but others benefited greatly.7. The best title of the passage can be _____________.A. An American DreamB. Two Dreaming GirlsC. Poor American’s DreamD. Waitresses of The DreamCMany years later as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice. At that time Macondo was a village of twenty mud brick houses, built on the bank of a river of clear water that ran along abed of polished stones. The world was so recent that many things lacked names.Every year during the month of March a family of ragged gypsies (吉普赛人) would set up their tents near the village, and with a great sound of pipes and kettledrums they would display new inventions. First they brought the magnet. A heavy gypsy with a wild beard and sparrow hands, who introduced himself as Melquíades, put on a public presentation he himself called the eighth wonder of the learned alchemists (炼金术士) of Macedonia. He went from house to house dragging two metal pieces and everybody was amazed to see iron things drop down from their places and even iron objects that had been lost for a long time appeared from where they had been searched for most. "Things have a life of their own," the gypsy said, "It's simply a matter of waking up their souls."José Arcadio Buendía thought it would be possible to make use of that useless invention to extract gold from inside the earth. Melquíades warned him: "It won't work for that." But JoséArcadio Buendía did not believe in the honesty of gypsies, so he traded his horse and a pair of goats for the two magnetized pieces. JoséArcadio Buendía’s wife, úrsula Iguarán, who relied on those animals to increase their poor family condition, was unable to persuade him.For several months he worked hard to explore every inch of the region, even the riverbed, with a shovel, dragging the two iron pieces along and reciting Melquíades' incantation (咒语) aloud. The only thing he succeeded in doing was to unearth a suit fifteenth-century armor (铠甲) which had all of its pieces connected together with rust. When he managed to take the armor apart, he found inside a skeleton with a copper box containing a woman's hair around its neck.8. Which of the following about José Arcadio Buendía is TRUE?A. He was a villager from Macondo, a remote village where gypsies lived.B. He wanted to make money with the two metal pieces bought from the gypsy.C. He lived in Macondo with úrsula Iguarán for several months to extract gold.D. He traded his horse and a goat for magnets and finally found a valuable armor.9. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Colonel Aureliano Buendía missed his father.B. Melquíades settled in the village with his family.C. úrsula Iguarán was unwilling to buy the metal pieces.D. Melquíades was proud of the two metal pieces.10.The underlined word in the last paragraph means______________.A. knock outB. find outC. dig outD. turn out11. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A. Macondo was a village built on the riverside with a small population.B. A skeleton inside the old armor was discovered by José Arcadio Buendía.C. Some gypsies thought that things in the world had souls of their own.D. Macondo villagers hated gypsies because they always cheated them.DThe word “super-material” gets thrown around a lot these days: ceramic super-materials, aerogel super materials, elastomeric super material. But one super-material beats them all, earning its discoverers a Nobel Prize and defining the upper limit for scientific excitement. It’s called graphene (石墨烯), the granddaddy of the modern boom in materials science.Graphene was accidentally discovered in 2010 by two scientists, Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov, at Manchester University, UK. What exactly is it? The idea is easy enough to come up with: what if we could take a diamond and cut it into pieces just one atom thick? This would make it a so-called “two-dimensional” substance, made entirely out of carbon, yet flexible in a way that diamond cannot be. It not only has the incredible physical properties you’d expect from the strongest materials, but also has unbelievably high electrical conductivity (传导性).Being atomically small, graphene is suitable for a wide range of applications - not least in electronics. It allows many industries to take huge steps forward. There’s bioengineering, where scientists hope to use graphene’s unbelievably small size to enter cell walls, potentially put a molecule (分子) of the researchers’ choice. Graphene could also be used to create an ultra-fine, anti-biotic water filter (过滤器) for quick, easy filtration of possibly dangerous drinking water. It’s not surprising that de signers and engineers are letting their imaginations run wild at the thought.Graphene will change the world — the only question is whether it will do so directly, or indirectly.Definitely, it is inspiring a new generation of two-dimensional material science, and will be incredibly important in shaping the face of the modern world.12. Which of the following best describes graphene?A. It is a super-material with low flexibility and high conductivity.B. It was discovered by two scientists in the UK 3 years ago.C. It has incredible physical properties and electrical conductivity.D. It is one-atom thick and can get into cell walls easily.13. What is the writer’s attitude toward graphene?A. indifferentB. doubtfulC. positiveD. suspicious14. How does the writer develop Paragraph 3?A. By explaining causesB. By giving examplesC. By listing statisticsD. By drawing conclusions15. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. Graphene might be very useful in a limited variety of fields.B. Graphene and graphene-related industries will advance the world.C. Scientists are still questioning whether grapheme is useful or not.D. There exists a disadvantage about graphene although it is very useful.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident.

He began sending one-way messages of God’s love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison ministry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.The letter said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces! ”No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents.

What can be the best title for the passage?A. Stories about a Helpful PersonB. Special Letters of EncouragementC. Popularity of Special LettersD. Relationship between Writers and PrisonersCSuperman Returns, X-Men, The Fantastic Four and Iron Man have been on the list of superhero movies since the dawn of the 21st century. The success of them has gone beyond all expectations, with six of the top 12 highest box office grosses (票房收入) being held by superhero movies. There are many theories as to why these films have become and remained so popular over the last decade.Some experts consider most movies to be forms of escapism (逃避现实). They are traditionally meant to be a combination of education and entertainment, and superhero films tend heavily toward the latter element. Watching a superhero movie is a great chance to relax and not think about stress or difficult things in your life.Historically, during times of war, films have become a hotbed of patriotism (爱国主义). Superheroes are charged with bringing peace, fighting violently if necessary, and trying to maintain a normal life. Some audience members may relate to that concept, either on a personal level or in relation to their ideas about war and any current world situations. Moreover, most superheroes serve as a hope-inspiring figure, an image of someone who can save us all from dark and difficult times. Superhero movies promote the ideas of peace, safety and freedom.Aside from the global and psychological reasons, superhero movies are just a lot of fun. Since the success of Spiderman, the Hollywood film industry has begun throwing huge amounts of money at the films, to great effect. Most of the big-earning superhero films of the 21st century are written, acted, and technically produced by the best minds in the film business. In 2008, The Dark Knight was released, making back nearly its entire production budget of $185 million dollars in the first weekend.Superhero movies are many things to many people. To comic book lovers, they are the realization of their favorite worlds. To those feeling the strain of economic, personal, or national problems, they are a welcome escape for a few hours. Grab your popcorn and your chocolate and look for a good seat in the middle of the row, because it looks like superhero films will continue to have a wild ride.8. The author lists some superhero movies in Paragraph 1 in order to show that ________.A. superhero movies are shot in the 21st centuryB. superhero movies express the idea of escapismC. superhero movies make more profit than other moviesD. superhero movies get popular over the last decade9. People like superhero movies during times of war because __________.A. people can be saved from dark and difficult timesB. people can gain positive energy from superhero moviesC. people can learn how to fight against other countriesD. people can know more about the current world situations10. According to the passage, we can learn __________.A. Watching superhero films is a way of entertainment.B. Comic book lovers don’t dare to face the reality.C. Superhero films are a new form of education.D. People who love their country watch superhero films most.11. What’s the best title for the passage?A. How much profit do superhero movies bring?B. What makes superhero movies successful?C. Why are superhero movies so popular?D. Which superhero movies are the most famous?DService Foods makes it easier for cooks to reduce mealtime complains. Service Foods is so confident that they can reduce complaints, in fact, that the company is offering a series of mealtime complaint-reduction tips.According to a representative of Service Foods, complaints can occur when busy cooks serve substandard, low quality meats. As products sit in packaging in the meat case at the store, the meat can age out too much. The natural flavor disappears, and it can be replaced with an undesirable strange flavor. According to Service Foods, complaints from children are common when you serve substandard meats. Kids may not have the words to describe why they don’t like the meats, but they’re certainly willing to express their displeasure. By serving meats from Service Foods, complaints can be reduced. Service Foods meats are all natural and organic, meaning the meats have no chemicals or water or colorings that can change the taste. And the meats are flash-frozen right after cutting, so they won’t taste strange to your children.If you’re facing different types of complaints, Service Foods may still be able to help you. Some families have mealtime boredom. The same meals, served in the same way, week after week, can be incredibly boring and hard to look forward to. When it comes to these complaints, Service Foods has the answer right on the web. Just go to http: //www. and you'll find a long list of recipes to try. Some of these recipes are made in demonstration format, so you can watch the video and get step-by-step instructions on how to prepare the meals. By following these recipes from Service Foods, complaints relating to boredom can certainly be reduced.While Service Foods knows complaints at mealtime can never be totally eradicated, as picky kids will always be picky kids with concerns, the company is doing everything possible to deal with the problem and get cooks the help they need.12. According to the passage, mealtime complaints are most likely caused by ________.A. flash-frozen meatsB. strange-taste foodC. low quality mealD. poor quality meats13. Service Foods can solve mealtime boredom by ______.A. serving flash-frozen meatB. expressing children's complaintsC. instructing different ways of cookingD. supplying natural food without chemicals14. The underlined word “eradicated” in the last paragraph can be replaced with ______.A. coveredB. removedC. reducedD. accepted15. What will the readers probably do after reading the passage?A. Pay for Service Foods service.B. Buy organic meat from now on.C. Write recipes for Service Foods.D. Answer complaints on the web.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AAre you a volcano lover? Here is a list of some of the world’s most beautiful volcanoes that our travel agency can offer you to visit. Don’t miss them!Mount Mayon, the PhilippinesLocated about 450 km southeast of Manila on the island of Luzon, Mount Mayon is the most active volcano in the Philippines; a September 2014 eruption forced thousands to flee the area. Those who hike the volcano are rewarded with views of the towns on the Albay province and the Pacific Ocean. But even those who prefer the view from a distance have historical good point at the Cagsawa Ruins, once an 18th Century Franciscan church that was destroyed by an 1814 eruption.Kilauea and Mauna Kea, HawallHawaii’s volcanoes are known for their active eruptions and extraordinary scenes. Mauna Kea is around one million years old, while Kilauea is the youngest volcano in Hawaii and has been erupting continuously since 1983. The lava falls straight into the sea, creating fantastic forms of black rocks and smoke clouds.Mount Kelimutu, IndonesiaKelimutu’s three mysterious crater lakes attract both scientists and tourists to the island of Flores in Indonesia’s East Nusa Tenggara province. One is emerald green（翡翠绿），another dark red, and the thirdpitch black. Scientists say the lakes take on such colors because the volcanic gases met the lake s’ minerals centuries ago.1. People who hike Mount Mayon can enjoy the following EXCEPT .A. views of the towns in the Albay provinceB. views of the Pacific OceanC. views of the Cagsawa RuinsD. views of Indonesia’s East Nusa Tenggara province2. According to the text, Kilauea .A. is an active volcanoB. stopped erupting in 1983C. is the youngest volcano in the worldD. forces thousands to flee in 2014.3. The colors of Kelimutu’s three mysterious crater lakes are due to .A. water pollutionB. different environmentC. chemical reactionD. different temperaturesBPhotography has been my interest ever since I was old enough to pick up a camera, but today I want to share with you the 15 most treasured photos of mine, and I didn’t take any of them. There were no art directors, no stylists, no chance for reshoots, not even any regard for lighting. In fact, most of them were taken by random tourists.My story begins when I was in New York City for a speech, and my wife took a picture of me holding my daughter on her first birthday. We’re on the corner of the 57th and 5th avenue. We happened to be back in New York exactly a year later, so we decided to take the same picture.Well you can see where this is going. Approaching my daughter’s third birthday, my wife said, “Hey, why don’t you take Sabina back to New York and make it a father-daughter trip, and continue the ceremony?” This is when we started asking passing tourists to take the picture.So these photos are far more than representatives for a single moment, or even a specific trip. They’re also ways for us to freeze time for one week in October and reflect on our times and how we change from year to year, and nor just physically, but in every way. Because while we take the same photo, our viewpoints change, and she reaches new milestones and I get to see life through her eyes, and how shecommunicates with and sees everything. This very focused time we get to spend together is something we value and expect the entire year.4.What can we know about the author from the first paragraph?A.He is fond of being photographed alone.B.He hardly ever asks strangers to take pictures of him.C.He has been interested in photography since childhood.D.He’s proud of the 15 most treasured photos taken by himself.5.Who came up with the idea of having a father-daughter trip when Sabina was 3 years old?A. Her mother.B. Her father.C. Sabina herselfD. An unknown tourist.6. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A. children usually get to see life through adults’ eyesB. the 15 photos are meaningful to the author’s familyC. it takes the author a whole week to have a family photo takenD. the viewpoints of the author’s family never change with the time.7. What can be the best title of the text?A. Believe it or not; photos do changeB. Photos help a family become richC. Even strangers can help take photographsD. A father-daughter bond, one photo at a timeCA castle is a type of fortified（加固的）structure built in Europe and the Middle East during the Middle Ages. This is different from a palace, which is no fortified-though there are many similarities among these types of construction. Usage of the term has varied over time and has been applied to diverse structures.The European castles originated in the 9th and 10th centuries, resulting in its land divided among nobles. These nobles built castles to control the area surrounding them, and they were both offensive and defensive structures. Although army uses are often emphasized in castle studies, the structures also served as centres of administration and symbols of power. Urban castles were used to control the local people and importanttravel routes, and rural castles were often built near farmland.Many castles were originally built from earth and wood, but had their defences supplanted later by stone. In the late 12th and early 13th centuries, scientific approaches to castle defence appeared, and could function to maximize the castle’s firepower. These changes in defence came from a mixture of castle technology. Although gunpowder was introduced to be built well into the 16th century, improved cannon（大炮）fire made them uncomfortable places to live in. As a result, true castles went into decline.From the 18th century onwards, there was a renewed interest in castles with the construction of mock （仿造的）castles, part of a romantic revival（复活）of Gothic architecture, but they had no defensive purpose.8. According to the first paragraph, we can know .A. the palace is a fortified structureB. the castle is different from the palaceC. the palace changed over timeD. the structures of the castle in different ages look the same.9. what does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A. Symbols of the European castles.B. Functions of the European castles.C. Influences of the European castles.D. Characteristics of the European castles.10. The underlined word “ supplanted ” in the third paragraph is closet in meaning to ““.A. producedB. savedC. protectedD. replaced11. What can be inferred from the river?A. Castles have nothing in common with palaces.B. Castles have a history of more than 1,000 years in Europe.C. Castles were mainly used for defensive purposes after the 18th century.D. The introduction of gunpowder instantly influenced castle building in Europe.DAll those Christmas toys and books may spread ,ore than good cheer. A new study has concluded thattwo common bacteria that cause colds, ear infections, and sore throat can live for long period in the surfaces of toys, books and other child-related items, even after being cleaned.The findings just published in the journal Infection and Immunity show some bacteria continue to exist on surfaces for far longer than it has been believed.The researchers said the study suggests that additional precautions（预防措施）may be necessary to prevent infections, especially in settings such as schools, daycare centers, and hospitals. “These findings should make us more cautious about bacteria in the environment since they change our ideas about how these particular bacteria arte spread.”Said Anders Hakansson, assistant professor of microbiology and immunology in the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. “Never before had any paper proved that these bacteria can survive well on various surface, including hands, and potentially spread between individuals.”S. pneumoniae（肺炎链球菌）is widespread in daycare centers and a common cause of hospital infections; Hakansson explained to us that it commonly causes sore throat and skin infections in children and adults.To reach their conclusions, the UB researchers tested the surfaces of toys in a daycare center. They found four out of five toys tested positive for S. pneumoniae and several surfaces, such as baby beds, tested positive for S. pyogenes（化脓性链球菌），even after being cleaned. The testing was done just before the center opening in the morning so it had been many hours since the last human contact.“ Beautiful colonization（细菌增值）doesn’t, by itself, cause infection but it’s a necessary first step if an infection is going to become established in a human host,” he explains, “Children, the elderly and others with weak immune systems are easily infected.”12. The first paragraph mainly tells us that the surfaces of books may .A. spread good cheerB. cause health problemsC. prevent infections sometimesD. help decrease infectious diseases13. In the new study, the researchers think that .A. people shouldn’t buy any presents for their kidsB. bacteria will not exist for so longC. bacteria on toys will be removed after being cleanedD. extra measures should be taken to avoid bacteria第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurred to him. “Why not write to other people who need encouragement?”He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied, “Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your lette rs will not be answered.”Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. He began sending one-way messages of God’s love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison ministry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.The letter said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces! ”No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents. We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.4. In order to live in a meaningful way, the man began to .A. write to other people who need encouragementB. receive the school educationC. meet the people who are depressedD. help other people with lost arms and legs5.

What can be the best title for the passage?A. Stories about a Helpful PersonB. Special Letters of EncouragementC. Popularity of Special LettersD. Relationship between Writers and PrisonersCSuperman Returns, X-Men, The Fantastic Four and Iron Man have been on the list of superhero movies since the dawn of the 21st century. The success of them has gone beyond all expectations, with six of the top 12 highest box office grosses (票房收入) being held by superhero movies. There are many theories as to why these films have become and remained so popular over the last decade.Some experts consider most movies to be forms of escapism (逃避现实). They are traditionally meant to be a combination of education and entertainment, and superhero films tend heavily toward the latter element. Watching a superhero movie is a great chance to relax and not think about stress or difficult things in your life.Historically, during times of war, films have become a hotbed of patriotism (爱国主义). Superheroes are charged with bringing peace, fighting violently if necessary, and trying to maintain a normal life. Some audience members may relate to that concept, either on a personal level or in relation to their ideas about war and any current world situations. Moreover, most superheroes serve as a hope-inspiring figure, an image of someone who can save us all from dark and difficult times. Superhero movies promote the ideas of peace, safety and freedom.Aside from the global and psychological reasons, superhero movies are just a lot of fun. Since the success of Spiderman, the Hollywood film industry has begun throwing huge amounts of money at the films, to great effect. Most of the big-earning superhero films of the 21st century are written, acted, and technically produced by the best minds in the film business. In 2008, The Dark Knight was released, making back nearly its entire production budget of $185 million dollars in the first weekend.Superhero movies are many things to many people. To comic book lovers, they are the realization of their favorite worlds. To those feeling the strain of economic, personal, or national problems, they are a welcome escape for a few hours. Grab your popcorn and your chocolate and look for a good seat in the middle of the row, because it looks like superhero films will continue to have a wild ride.8. The author lists some superhero movies in Paragraph 1 in order to show that ________.A. superhero movies are shot in the 21st centuryB. superhero movies express the idea of escapismC. superhero movies make more profit than other moviesD. superhero movies get popular over the last decade9. People like superhero movies during times of war because __________.A. people can be saved from dark and difficult timesB. people can gain positive energy from superhero moviesC. people can learn how to fight against other countriesD. people can know more about the current world situations10. According to the passage, we can learn __________.A. Watching superhero films is a way of entertainment.B. Comic book lovers don’t dare to face the reality.C. Superhero films are a new form of education.D. People who love their country watch superhero films most.11. What’s the best title for the passage?A. How much profit do superhero movies bring?B. What makes superhero movies successful?C. Why are superhero movies so popular?D. Which superhero movies are the most famous?DService Foods makes it easier for cooks to reduce mealtime complains. Service Foods is so confident that they can reduce complaints, in fact, that the company is offering a series of mealtime complaint-reduction tips.According to a representative of Service Foods, complaints can occur when busy cooks serve substandard, low quality meats. As products sit in packaging in the meat case at the store, the meat can age out too much. The natural flavor disappears, and it can be replaced with an undesirable strange flavor. According to Service Foods, complaints from children are common when you serve substandard meats. Kids may not have the words to describe why they don’t like the meats, but they’re certainly willing to express their displeasure. By serving meats from Service Foods, complaints can be reduced. Service Foods meats are all natural and organic, meaning the meats have no chemicals or water or colorings that can change the taste. And the meats are flash-frozen right after cutting, so they won’t taste strange to your children.If you’re facing different types of complaints, Service Foods may still be able to help you. Some families have mealtime boredom. The same meals, served in the same way, week after week, can be incredibly boring and hard to look forward to. When it comes to these complaints, Service Foods has the answer right on the web. Just go to http: //www. and you'll find a long list of recipes to try. Some of these recipes are made in demonstration format, so you can watch the video and get step-by-step instructions on how to prepare the meals. By following these recipes from Service Foods, complaints relating to boredom can certainly be reduced.While Service Foods knows complaints at mealtime can never be totally eradicated, aspicky kids will always be picky kids with concerns, the company is doing everything possible to deal with the problem and get cooks the help they need.12. According to the passage, mealtime complaints are most likely caused by ________.A. flash-frozen meatsB. strange-taste foodC. low quality mealD. poor quality meats13. Service Foods can solve mealtime boredom by ______.A. serving flash-frozen meatB. expressing children's complaintsC. instructing different ways of cookingD. supplying natural food without chemicals14. The underlined word “eradicated” in the last paragraph can be replaced with ______.A. coveredB. removedC. reducedD. accepted15. What will the readers probably do after reading the passage?A. Pay for Service Foods service.B. Buy organic meat from now on.C. Write recipes for Service Foods.D. Answer complaints on the web.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

You’re about to drift off to sleep when suddenly you feel like you’re falling or coming down on a roller coaster.You then wake up to realize that you’re safe in your bed. You may have been confused or frightened for a second or two and your heart may be beating faster. You may have also felt the muscles in your body jerk(抽搐) when this all happened. Did you ever wonder why? This falling sensation, together with a body movement known as a “sleep start”, is what doctors and scientists call a myoclonic(肌阵挛的)jerk, and it usually happens right before going into deeper stages of sleep. Here’s why doctors think the falling feeling and myoclonic jerks happen. When you fall asleep, normally your body temperature goes down and your heart start to beat just a little slower. This is because your brain signals your body to relax to prepare for sleep. When your muscles are relaxed, you go into the very first stages of sleep, but you’re not sleeping too deeply yet.This brain activity may cause your larger muscles to contract(收缩) a little bit. In response, another part of your brain will make up a very quick mini-dream to go along with what is试卷第2页，共10页happening. You might think this would take a while, but your brain works so fast that it makes up the story almost at the same instant that your muscles jerk.During this light sleep, you can be awakened easily. People who wake up during this light sleep believe they haven’t fallen asleep yet. That’s why you may think that your body jerked right before you were about to fall asleep.Myoclonic jerk are a normal part of sleep. Most people have them at one time or another. But many people don’t realize their muscles are jerking during night sleep if it doesn’t wake them up.So the next time you dream about falling and wake up in a sweat, don’t worry! Your body is just telling your muscles to relax and get some rest!1、People sometimes wake up during a light sleep because______. A ．they are disturbed by others. B ．they are too tired to fall asleep. C ．their bodies are preparing for sleep. D ．they believe their lives are in danger.2、What does the underlined part “ what is happening” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A ．The body jerk B ．The mini- dreamC ．The slow heartbeatD ．The falling body temperature 3、The author thinks myoclonic jerks during sleep are _____. A ．worrying B ．usual C ．abnormal D ．useful 4、It can be inferred that myoclonic jerks ________. A. lead to muscle disease B. happen in a deep sleep B. are related to brain disease D. don’t always wake people upPicture the scene: You come home after work feeling too exhausted to cook –only to find a delicious meal worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant waiting for you. It sounds like a fantasy, but it could be about to come true thanks to a robot chef developed by British scientists. Those scientists have come up with a set of robotic arms so smart that they are capable of cooking meals all by themselves. The device will be sold from as early as 2017 as part of a purpose-built high-tech kitchen.Scientists at Moley Robotics spent almost 18 years developing the hands. According to its creators, the arms can chop, stir, whisk and baste well enough to recreate almost anything you would care to eat, whether it is a simple home-cooked supper, or a complicated creation designed by a world-class chef. The hands move a little slowly, hovering strangely above the work surface whenever they are not busy, but they imitate human movements closely enough that they can do things such as wiping a spoon on the edge of a pan to prevent drips.Mr Oleynik, who is leading the project, said, “All the things which are possible with the hand are possible here. There is no limitation. A lot of people want to go to Michelin-starred restaurants, but they are quite expensive and may be quite far from the home. This is an opportunity for people to enjoy very good food, and for a reasonable price. ”The only cuisine that is off the robot’s menu at the moment is sushi, which requires extremely steady pressure and nimble fingers to make, but the team plan to conquer that as well by the time it goes on sale.5、People go to Michelin-starred restaurants in order to______.A．appreciate car tires. B．enjoy delicious meals C．see the new robot chefs D．escape from work6、What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．British scientists B．The robot chef’s armsC．Cooks at restaurants D．Household wives7、Which kind of food CAN’T the robot chef cook at present?A．Bread B．Beef C．Sushi D．Sandwich8、What can we infer from the passage?A．Hands of a robot chef can perform exactly like a cook.B．Robot chefs are available at shopping malls.C．Michelin-starred restaurants are suitable for many people.D．It is uncertain when the robot can cook all kinds of food.The pounding（重击声）was driving Edward crazy. A new neighbor had just moved into the apartment below him. The newcomer was deaf, or seemed to be, because he played his stereoloud enough for the whole building to hear.On the first day he heard the stereo rocking over, Edward marched downstairs and politely toldthe newcomer that his stereo was too loud. He asked the new tenant to turn the volume down试卷第4页，共10页and keep it down as long as he lived in the building. The tenant appeared surprised and embarrassed, and said, “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was that loud.”So, Edward returned upstairs, feeling good, because he had taken a stand and politely let the newcomer know that loud music was not going to be tolerated. The next day all was quiet, and Edward continued to be pleased with himself. The following day, Edward thought it must be Fourth of July, because a marching band was playing on his street. In fact, it was the new neighbor who was playing his music loud again.Edward was not one to repeat himself, feeling that each time you repeated yourself, you diminished the value of your words. So, he did what he always did with rude neighbors －grinand bear it. Eventually, they would move away. What else are you going to do?In Los Angles a year ago, a woman had complained to her upstairs neighbor that he was playing his drums too loud and too often. The drummer repeatedly ignored her. One day the woman walked upstairs and shot the drummer in the head and his girlfriend in the chest. The woman was sentenced to prison for 20 years.The dead drummer won’t bother anyone with his drums, but the woman might be wishing now that she had learned to grin and bear it. If she were still living in her apartment, she could always move. When you’re in prison, you don’t have that option. 9、The man living below where Edward lived was .A ．a deaf manB ．the owner of the houseC ．a tenantD ．an old neighbor 10、What did Edward always do with rude neighbors? A ．Grinning and bearing it.B ．Persuading them to stop repeatedly.C ．Shouting them to dead.D ．Moving away from the rude neighbors.11、The woman killed her neighbor because . A ．he ignored her advice repeatedlyB ．she could not stand his playing the guitar too loudC ．she could not put up with him any longerD ．he played the drums too often12、The author writes the last paragraph to prove that . A ．being in prison means the loss of freedomB．grinning and bearing it is the best policyC．Edward should follow the example of the womanD．the woman was right to kill her neighborMore than great drinks, great rewardsEnjoy all the benefits and more with your membership to our Loyalty Program!Whenever you pay with your membership account, you’ll earn a Star.Collect more Stars, earn more rewards.Three ways to join usBuy a Starbucks Card handy to create an account.Track your Stars online or through the mobile app, and we’ll send an email when you’ve earned a reward.You can also join from your phone.Download the Starbucks® App.One of the most exciting benefits of being a member is using our mobile app to: pay for purchases; view your Stars and rewards; access iTunes® Pick of the Week; see current offers.

I chose December 15 as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me.I had a rather busy day yesterday, ironic (具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $ 10 to. I was running late and decided to do itafterwards.After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out DuPont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willingly accept my $ 10. He wasn’t there, but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely, so I approached him. Now I had to figure out what I was going to say. I think I said something like, “Hi, can I sit down here?” “I would like to know if I could give you $ 10.” He asked me to repeat what I had said, I did; then he looked at me funny, got up and left.I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I don’t know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give $ 10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $ 10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the things that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves.4. The author set the starting date on December 15 to ____.A. help the charityB. honor his motherC. make an explorationD. fulfill a wish for his mum5. In the author’s first attempt to give away the money, ____.A. he was considered ridiculousB. he hesitated for a long timeC. he was forced to donate the moneyD. he had no time to take action6. In the author’s second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because ____.A. he didn’t need other’s helpB. he thought more for othersC. he didn’t care about moneyD. he wanted to get more money7. We can refer that the author was inspired by ____.A. true friendshipB. his own kindnessC. generous donationsD. human’s good natureCOn the banks of Tanzania’s Lake Eyasi lives the world’s last hunter-gatherer tribe (部落) —the Hadza. They don’t grow food, raise animals or build houses. Instead they live a life unchanged for more than ten thousand years.Their world is one of complete freedom — something modern society can barely imagine and is unlikely to ever experience, let alone have the skills to stay alive. Text messages and phone calls don’t exist. Nor do cars and electricity. No jobs, timetables, and social structures. No laws, taxes and unbelievably, no money — the closest thing to currency (交易，流通) is the trade for a pair of shorts with a neighboring tribe.We spent our time with the Hadza hunting baboons (狒狒), a daily activity for the men. Their land is packed with sharp bushes, poisonous snakes and man-eating lions. But a successful hunting trip is the difference between eating and going hungry.The Hadza diet consists mainly of honey, fruit and meat. Men often hunt in pairs to shoot animals with bows and arrows. The Hadza show us how to track animals, from baboons to snakes to lions. They are hugely skilled with their handmade bows and arrows — we have a go and barely get the arrow to go three feet in front of us.The language of the Hadza is believed to be the oldest still-spoken language known to man. The Hadza don’t have conflict, and have no memory of starvation. Their population never reaches numbers that cannot be supported through hunting or gathering. They never get from their land more than they need.Unlike modern-day office workers, the Hadza enjoy an extraordinary amount of free time. Their “work” — hunting for food —takes up around five hours of their day. They’ve been in sucha state of peaceful existence for thousands of years.8. We can learn from the text that the Hadza_______.A. lead a very primitive (原始) lifeB. live on traditional agricultureC. have their own system of currency（流通）D. show a lot of interest in new technology9. Which of the following can describe the Hadza’s environment?A. Stressful.B. Comfortable.C. Exciting.D. Dangerous.10. The relationship between the Hadza and nature_______.A. is going wrongB. is full of conflictC. is in perfect harmonyD. is changing all the time11. Why does the author come to visit the Hadza?A. To study their native language.B. To get to know their way of life.C. To learn survival skills from them.D. To persuade them to protect animals.DChildren are hooked on computers. Some spend up to six hours a day on their gadgets. They can be playing games live with others elsewhere in the world, updating their status on social media, texting friends or looking for the latest app to download to their tablets or smart phones.This worried Martin Strott, headmaster of the Old Hall School in Wellington, in the west of England. He was so concerned that he challenged his students to take part in a week of ‘digital detox’. Strott told the local newspaper, the Shropshire Star, that he encourages the pupils to have a good knowledge of the computer from a young age, but is concerned that too much screen time will affect the development of their social skills. He said that this over-reliance on digital devices “erodes family time and they’re missing out on messages from body language and facial expressions from those around them”.According to the headmaster, the parents are happy with the movement. But what about the children? Nine-year-old Fred usually spends around two hours on his gadgets at home after school and aro und 12 hours on weekends. For him, the digital detox experience was “really hard”. Fred spent it playing outside, especially basketball. He said that he’ll probably engage in different activities from now on but he did miss his phone and online games.The idea of keeping children away from their tech for a while to prevent ‘addiction’ is not particularly new. There have been similar movements in the US. But are they effective in the longrun?

AAptitude Tests RecommendationsAptitude tests are helpful to job seekers of all ages. While career quizzes explore your values and work style, aptitude tests provide a more objective evaluation of your skills, helping you select a career you’re most likely to succeed in. Below are some of the best aptitude tests out there.Clifton StrengthsThe Clifton Strengths program was created based on research around leadership. The research in question pointed to common strengths among successful leaders, like strategic thinking, adaptability and communication. To complete the test, you must answer around 150 questions, each within 20 seconds. Allen Cheung, a tech blogger, notes that Clifton Strengths is more valuable than your average career test because it includes “tricky questions which aren’t as easily gamed”.Red Bull WingfinderDeveloped and tested out by psychology experts, the Red Bull Wingfinder assesses your thinking under pressure. Questions include image sorting, logic puzzles and leadership-related questions. Once you complete the test, you’ll receive a nine-page report and career coaching tailored to your results.SEI Development ReportThe SEI Development Report is an extensive EQ aptitude test that has timed right-and-wrong answers that assess eight fundamentals, including emotional literacy, emotional management and empathy. At the end, you’ll receive a 20-page report with recommended courses on workplace EQ development.CareerOneStopWhile it only takes a few minutes to complete, the CareerOneStop Skills Assessment will help you rank both your technical and soft skills. The career suggestions at the end can be categorized by relevance, annual wages, and job outlook, coupled with professional coaching or consultation to improve your skills.21.

What is a unique feature of Clifton Strengths?A. It evaluates leadership skills.B. It develops strategic thinking.C. It includes challenging questions.D. It offers a comprehensive report.23. Which test suits those who prefer sorted suggestions and career coaching?A. Clifton Strengths.B. Red Bull Wingfinder.C. SEI Development Report.D. CareerOneStop.BFor some of us, going to the dentist for routine check-ups is a thing of the ordinary. But for many people around the world, especially those in poverty-stricken areas, having dental improvement and their teeth checked simply isn’t possible. A Brazilian dentist Felipe Rossi has devoted himself to helping change that situation.Growing up in USA, Felipe Rossi had just obtained the Bachelor of Medicine Degree and was about to start a master’s degree in Pediatric Dentistry (儿童口腔学) when a journey to his father’s home — Balsabo in Brazil — converted his initial plan. “All locals didn’t have access to dental care, and consequently, many of them suffered deformed teeth or even loss of teeth, leading to many people not daring to laugh with mouth open.” Felipe Rossi recalled. “A desire was planted in my heart. That is, to use my skills to bring healthy smiles to people suffering from dental problems.”With the support of his parents, Felipe formed an NGO (non-governmentorganization) called Porsorriso to give free oral treatments to individuals with low incomes who require cleaning, fillings, crowns, restoration work and more. His team is composed of approximately 30 registered volunteers who go with him to poor towns and villages in Brazil.Sponsorship is generally provided by two private companies. Individuals may also make donations through the “Smile Solidarity” program, where they can choose monthly amounts to contribute. Porsorriso also holds regular fundraisers to afford the cost of providing free dental services around the country.Noble as its objective is, Felipe admits that Porsorriso is “struggling to survive” because of the huge cost of providing dental work and the constant fundraising events they have to hold to keep the NGO in normal functioning. “Challenging as it is, it did bring healthy teeth as well as renewed confidence to the locals. We will continue this transformative act whatever difficulties we will face”. Felipe said with a strong will.24. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?A. By posing a contrast.B. By making an appeal.C. By reporting an event.D. By assuming a situation.25. What motivated Felipe to offer dental treatments to Brazilians?A. The support from his parents.B. The passion for dental health.C. The encounter with locals lacking dental care.D. The professional skills and knowledge from college.26. Which of the following can best describe Felipe Rossi?A. Hopeful and diligent.B. Charitable and dedicated.C. Faithful and ambitious.D. Intelligent and innovative.27. What do we know about Porsorriso?A. It gives free oral treatments to anyone in need.B. It is cooperated by Felipe Rossi and the local authority.C. It is financially supported by corporations and individuals.D. It holds regular fundraisers to educate people about dental care.CYou’ve most likely heard the news by now: A car-commuting, desk-bound, TV-watching lifestyle can be harmful to our health. All the time that we spend rooted in the chair is linked to increased risks of so many deadly diseases that experts have named this modern-day health epidemic the “sitting disease”.Sitting for too long slows down the body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) and the way enzymes break down our fat reserves, raising both blood sugar levels and blood pressure. Small amounts of regular activity, even just standing and moving around,throughout the day is enough to bring the increased levels back down. And those small amounts of activity add up — 30 minutes of light activity in two or three-minute bursts can be just as effective as a half-hour block of exercise. But without that activity, blood sugar levels and blood pressure keep creeping up, steadily damaging the inside of the arteries (动脉) and increasing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and other serious diseases. In essence, fundamental changes in biology occur if you sit for too long.But wait, you’re a runner. You needn’t worry about the harm of a sedentary lifestyle because you exercise regularly, right? Well, not so fast. Recent studies show that people spend an average of 64 hours a week sitting, whether or not they exercise 150 minutes a week as recommended by World Health Organization (WHO). Regular exercisers, furthermore, are found to be about 30 percent less active on days when they exercise. Overall, most people simply aren’t exercising or moving around enough to balance out all the harm that can result from sitting nine hours or more a day.Scared straight out of your chair? Good. The remedy is as simple as standing up and taking activity breaks.28. Which is the best way to bring down high blood sugar level and blood pressure?A. Doing exercise for 150 minutes or more every week.B. Getting rid of the habit of car commuting and TV watching.C. Standing or moving around for at least two minutes every day.D. Interrupting sitting time with light activity as often as possible.29. What does the word “sedentary” in the third paragraph most likely mean?A. Inactive.B. Risky.C. Overloaded.D. Unbalanced.30. Which of the following may be inferred about those who do serious exercise?A. They always meet the exercise standard recommended by WHO.B. They tend to stand or move less on the days when they work out.C. They usually remove all the harmful effects of sitting for too long.D. They generally spend less time sitting than those who do not exercise.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. The challenges of the modern lifestyle.B. The effect of regular activity on our body.C. The reasons for the spread of a modern epidemic.D. The threat to our health from long hours of sitting.DThe ban on cigarette advertising in the early 1970s in the United States serves as a fascinating case study in the field of public health campaigns and their unintendedconsequences. Despite the government’s intention to discourage smoking and reduce related health risks, the ban led to an unexpected outcome: an increase in cigarette sales for the major tobacco companies.The reason for this unexpected outcome can be traced to the principles of game theory, particularly the prisoner’s dilemma paradox (悖论). Just as in the prisoner’s dilemma, where cooperation leads to the best outcome for both parties, the tobacco companies would benefit collectively if none of them advertised. This action would create fairness in competition, ensuring that no individual company gains an edge by advertising.However, the dilemma arises when considering the potential actions of competitors. If one tobacco company decides to ignore the ban and advertise its products, it stands to gain a significant market share and increased sales compared to its non-advertising competitors. This creates a situation where each company faces the urge to advertise, fearing that their competitors may do the same and leave them at a disadvantage.In the end, most tobacco companies decided to play it safe and invested in advertising, despite the ban, to avoid being left behind in the competitive landscape. This strategic decision reflects the uncertainty and strategic considerations that shape business decisions, even in the face of regulations aimed at public health goals.This application of game theory provides valuable insight into the complexities of influencing human behavior through policy interventions. While well-intended efforts such as advertising bans may seem straightforward in theory, the realities of strategic decision-making and competitive dynamics often lead to unforeseen outcomes. As such, understanding the complexities of game theory can provide valuable insight for policymakers seeking to design more effective interventions and address complex societal challenges.32. What is a direct result of the ban in the 1970s?A. Cut in tax income.B. Reduction in health risks.C. Rise in tobacco sales.D. Cooperation of companies.33. How can all competitors benefit in the prisoner’s dilemma?A. They fully trust each other and follow the regulations.B. They act independently and pursue their own interests.C. They increase their market share at the expense of others.D. They ignore competition and focus on their own strategies.34. Why do most tobacco companies finally choose to advertise?A. To avoid intense competition.B. To gain a competitive advantage.C. To shape better business images.D. To achieve public health goals.35. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. A Good Intention Fails.B. A Cigarette Ban Ends in Smoke.C. A Ban Boosts Public Health.D. A Dilemma Concerns Cigarette Companies.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurred to him. “Why not write to other people who need encouragement?”He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied, “Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered.”Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. He began sending one-way messages of God’s love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison ministry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.The letter said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces! ”No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents. We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.4. In order to live in a meaningful way, the man began to .A. write to other people who need encouragementB. receive the school educationC. meet the people who are depressedD. help other people with lost arms and legs5. According to the prison minister, .A. the man was not allowed to write to the prisonersB. the prisoners were probably not allowed to answer the lettersC. the man couldn’t go to see the prisoners himselfD. he was not sure if the prisoners liked receiving the letters6. From the officer’s short note we know that .A. the man would be offered free paper to write letters onB. some of the prisoners were not satisfied with his lettersC. his letters were very popular among the prisonersD. the prisoners eagerly wanted to write back to the man7. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Stories about a Helpful PersonB. Special Letters of EncouragementC. Popularity of Special LettersD. Relationship between Writers and PrisonersCSuperman Returns, X-Men, The Fantastic Four and Iron Man have been on the list of superhero movies since the dawn of the 21st century. The success of them has gone beyond all expectations, with six of the top 12 highest box office grosses (票房收入) being held by superhero movies. There are many theories as to why these films have become and remained so popular over the last decade.Some experts consider most movies to be forms of escapism (逃避现实). They are traditionally meant to be a combination of education and entertainment, and superhero filmstend heavily toward the latter element. Watching a superhero movie is a great chance to relax and not think about stress or difficult things in your life.Historically, during times of war, films have become a hotbed of patriotism (爱国主义). Superheroes are charged with bringing peace, fighting violently if necessary, and trying to maintain a normal life. Some audience members may relate to that concept, either on a personal level or in relation to their ideas about war and any current world situations. Moreover, most superheroes serve as a hope-inspiring figure, an image of someone who can save us all from dark and difficult times. Superhero movies promote the ideas of peace, safety and freedom.Aside from the global and psychological reasons, superhero movies are just a lot of fun. Since the success of Spiderman, the Hollywood film industry has begun throwing huge amounts of money at the films, to great effect. Most of the big-earning superhero films of the 21st century are written, acted, and technically produced by the best minds in the film business. In 2008, The Dark Knight was released, making back nearly its entire production budget of $185 million dollars in the first weekend.Superhero movies are many things to many people. To comic book lovers, they are the realization of their favorite worlds. To those feeling the strain of economic, personal, or national problems, they are a welcome escape for a few hours. Grab your popcorn and your chocolate and look for a good seat in the middle of the row, because it looks like superhero films will continue to have a wild ride.8. The author lists some superhero movies in Paragraph 1 in order to show that ________.A. superhero movies are shot in the 21st centuryB. superhero movies express the idea of escapismC. superhero movies make more profit than other moviesD. superhero movies get popular over the last decade9. People like superhero movies during times of war because __________.A. people can be saved from dark and difficult timesB. people can gain positive energy from superhero moviesC. people can learn how to fight against other countriesD. people can know more about the current world situations10. According to the passage, we can learn __________.A. Watching superhero films is a way of entertainment.B. Comic book lovers don’t dare to face the reality.C. Superhero films are a new form of education.D. People who love their country watch superhero films most.11. What’s the best title for the passage?A. How much profit do superhero movies bring?B. What makes superhero movies successful?C. Why are superhero movies so popular?D. Which superhero movies are the most famous?DService Foods makes it easier for cooks to reduce mealtime complains. Service Foods is so confident that they can reduce complaints, in fact, that the company is offering a series of mealtime complaint-reduction tips.According to a representative of Service Foods, complaints can occur when busy cooks serve substandard, low quality meats. As products sit in packaging in the meat case at the store, the meat can age out too much. The natural flavor disappears, and it can be replaced with an undesirable strange flavor. According to Service Foods, complaints from children are common when you serve substandard meats. Kids may not have the words to describe whythey don’t like the meats, but they’re certainly willing to express their displeasure. By serving meats from Service Foods, complaints can be reduced. Service Foods meats are all natural and organic, meaning the meats have no chemicals or water or colorings that can change the taste. And the meats are flash-frozen right after cutting, so they won’t taste strange to your children.If you’re facing different types of complaints, Service Foods may still be able to help you. Some families have mealtime boredom. The same meals, served in the same way, week after week, can be incredibly boring and hard to look forward to. When it comes to these complaints, Service Foods has the answer right on the web. Just go to http: //www. and you'll find a long list of recipes to try. Some of these recipes are made in demonstration format, so you can watch the video and get step-by-step instructions on how to prepare the meals. By following these recipes from Service Foods, complaints relating to boredom can certainly be reduced.While Service Foods knows complaints at mealtime can never be totally eradicated, as picky kids will always be picky kids with concerns, the company is doing everything possible to deal with the problem and get cooks the help they need.12. According to the passage, mealtime complaints are most likely caused by ________.A. flash-frozen meatsB. strange-taste foodC. low quality mealD. poor quality meats13. Service Foods can solve mealtime boredom by ______.A. serving flash-frozen meatB. expressing children's complaintsC. instructing different ways of cookingD. supplying natural food without chemicals14. The underlined word “eradicated” in the last paragraph can be replaced with ______.A. coveredB. removedC. reducedD. accepted15. What will the readers probably do after reading the passage?A. Pay for Service Foods service.B. Buy organic meat from now on.C. Write recipes for Service Foods.D. Answer complaints on the web.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A new neighbor had just moved into the apartment below him. The newcomer was deaf, or seemed to be, because he played his stereo loud enough for the whole building to hear.On the first day he heard the stereo rocking over, Edward marched downstairs and politely told the newcomer that his stereo was too loud. He asked the new tenant to turn the volume down and keep it down as long as he lived in the building. The tenant appeared surprised and embarrassed, and said, “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was that loud.”So, Edward returned upstairs, feeling good, because he had taken a stand and politely let the newcomer know that loud music was not going to be tolerated. The next day all was quiet, and Edward continued to be pleased with himself. The following day, Edward thought it must be Fourth of July, because a marching band was playing on his street. In fact, it was the new neighbor who was playing his music loud again.Edward was not one to repeat himself, feeling that each time you repeated yourself, you diminished the value of your words. So, he did what he always did with rude neighbors－grin and bear it. Eventually, they would move away. What else are you going to do?In Los Angles a year ago, a woman had complained to her upstairs neighbor that he was playing his drums too loud and too often. The drummer repeatedly ignored her. One day the woman walked upstairs and shot the drummer in the head and his girlfriend in the chest. The woman was sentenced to prison for 20 years.The dead drummer won’t bother anyone with his drums, but the woman might be wishing now that she had learned to grin and bear it. If she were still living in her apartment, she could always move. When you’re in prison, you don’t have that option.4.The man living below where Edward lived was .A.a deaf manB.the owner of the houseC.a tenantD.an old neighbor5.What did Edward always do with rude neighbors?A.Grinning and bearing it.B.Persuading them to stop repeatedly.C.Shouting them to dead.D.Moving away from the rude neighbors.6.The woman killed her neighbor because .A.he ignored her advice repeatedlyB.she could not stand his playing the guitar too loudC.she could not put up with him any longerD.he played the drums too often7.The author writes the last paragraph to prove that .A.being in prison means the loss of freedomB.grinning and bearing it is the best policyC.Edward should follow the example of the womanD.the woman was right to kill her neighborCPicture the scene: You come home after work feeling too exhausted to cook –only to find a delicious meal worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant waiting for you. It sounds like a fantasy, but it could be about to come true thanks to a robot chef developed by British scientists.Those scientists have come up with a set of robotic arms so smart that they are capable of cooking meals all by themselves. The device will be sold from as early as 2017 as part of a purpose-built high-tech kitchen.Scientists at Moley Robotics spent almost 18 years developing the hands. According to its creators, the arms can chop, stir, whisk and baste well enough to recreate almost anything you would care to eat, whether it is a simple home-cooked supper, or a complicated creation designed by a world-class chef. The hands move a little slowly, hovering strangely above the work surface whenever they are not busy, but they imitate human movements closely enough that they can do things such as wiping a spoon on the edge of a pan to prevent drips.Mr Oleynik, who is leading the project, said, “All the things which are poss ible with the hand are possible here. There is no limitation. A lot of people want to go to Michelin-starred restaurants, but they are quite expensive and may be quite far from the home. This is an opportunity for people to enjoy very good food, and for a reasonable price. ”The only cuisine that is off the robot’s menu at the moment is sushi, which requires extremely steady pressure and nimble fingers to make, but the team plan to conquer that as well by the time it goes on sale.8. People go to Michelin-starred restaurants in order to______.A. appreciate car tires.B. enjoy delicious mealsC. see the new robot chefsD. escape from work9. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. British scientistsB. The robot chef’s armsC. Cooks at restaurantsD. Household wives10. Which kind of food CAN’T the robot chef cook at present?A. BreadB. BeefC. SushiD. Sandwich11. What can we infer from the passage?A. Hands of a robot chef can perform exactly like a cook.B. Robot chefs are available at shopping malls.C. Michelin-starred restaurants are suitable for many people.D. It is uncertain when the robot can cook all kinds of food.DHas this happened to you? You’re about to drift off to sleep when suddenly you feel like you’re falling or coming down on a roller coaster.You then wake up to realize that you’re safe in your bed. You may have been confused or frightened for a second or two and your heart may be beating faster. You may have also felt the muscles in your body jerk(抽搐) when this all happened. Did you ever wonder why?This falling sensation, together with a body movement known as a “sleep start”, is what doctors and scientists call a myoclonic(肌阵挛的)jerk, and it usually happens right before going into deeper stages of sleep. Here’s why doctors think the falling feeling and myoclonic jerks happen. When you fall asleep, normally your body temperature goes down and your heart start to beat just a little slower. This is because your brain signals your body to relax to prepare for sleep. When your muscles are relaxed, you go into the very first stages of sleep, but you’re not sleeping too deeply yet.This brain activity may cause your larger muscles to contract(收缩) a little bit. In response, another part of your brain will make up a very quick mini-dream to go along with what is happening. You might think this would take a while, but your brain works so fast that it makes up the story almost at the same instant that your muscles jerk.During this light sleep, you can be awakened easily. People who wake up during this light sleep believe they haven’t fallen asleep yet. That’s why you may think that your body jerked right before you were about to fall asleep.Myoclonic jerk are a normal part of sleep. Most people have them at one time or another. But many people don’t realize their muscles are jerking during night sleep if it doesn’t wake them up.So the next time you dream about falling and wake up in a sweat, don’t worry! Your body is just telling your muscles to relax and get some rest!12.
