Portuguese(葡萄牙的) explorers gave the nut its name in the l5th century, referring to it as coco，meaning “ghost”in their outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost’s face，and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied is used to make various cooking oils for fast food restaurants around the world to make diet coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates，providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the water is also used by manufacturers of various sports the shell itself has many uses，including animal food and fertilizer.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut coconut tree，which produces the nut，also produces many useful ’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as “the tree of life”.40题单选What does the underlined word“edible’in Paragraph 1 mean?...参考答案：D41题单选The coconut got its name because of __________ .hard shellwhite colorghostlike appearanceround shape参考答案：C42题单选What is the passage mainly about?history of coconut.of coconut.discovery of coconut.of coconut seeds参考答案：B43题单选What can be learned from the passage?trees are useful plants.oil is rare and expensive.trunks are houses for birds.fluid can become fertilizer.参考答案：APassage ThreeMost students choose “Homestay”accommodation when they study abroad：others select Homestay even if they are not on a study show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family，or“host family”as we are three ways of doing it：choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location：have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher; select not to haveclasses at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your (安置)organizations think about location，interests，language level，eating requirements，allergies (过敏)and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs，good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city if you stay further out，you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money，it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible. But if you plan to learn English，why not have your English classes in your host family. There’s no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !44题单选Homestay is an ideal choice for students who __________ .to visit relativesto stay at hometo study overseasto learn statistics参考答案：C45题单选Who will consider students’requirements before their Homestay starts?English teacher.placement organization.host family.language school.参考答案：B46题单选Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?of the host family.habits of the host family.’language level.’specific needs.参考答案：D47题单选What can be inferred from the passage?author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.参考答案：APassage FourUsing 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think，saving you money while creating a heathier，more comfortable living space for you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill，your comfort and the environment. Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient. Lower the heat If your home has adjustable central heating，lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference. You may not feel it，but your wallet will. It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day.Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it，head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust. While clothes dryers get the job done faster，they also use up hanging yourclothes out you’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load.Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight’s natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days，install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy your desk near the window，then you don’t need a lamp in the daytime.Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot—water pipes are properly an average home，heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy let warmth go to waste before it reaches you?Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances，select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your ’t buy bigger ones just because you can.48题单选What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?a healthier living environment.your work efficiency.old habits unchanged.your living space.参考答案：A49题单选Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?may help to build a greenhouse.helps remove bacteria in clothes.uses half the energy that clothes dryers do.gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.参考答案：B50题单选What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of natural light?....参考答案：C51题单选Besides energy-efficiency，what else should be considered when replacing appliances?time.price.quality.size.参考答案：DPassage FiveAs we recently discovered，there is a Stepmother’s Day，though it is not on any official holiday ，it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads，too.Right?

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D .You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage oneUndoubtedly, leading a low-carbon lifestyle is a popular trend in modem society, where a considerable number of individuals begin to undertake the responsibility to protect the environment .One of my Chinadialogue colleagues in Beijing recently bought a Philips energy-saving light bulb to replace a standard one. He was happy with his choice. It may have cost 30 Yuan (just under 4. 50 dollars)-ten times the price of a filament( 灯丝) bulb-but he wanted to save energy as part of hislow-carbon lifestyle. And according to the shopkeeper, he would save, in the long run, much more than the 30 Yuanhe was spending.Yet only one month later, his expensive light bulb blew up, before he had saved even a small part of the purchase price.Will he stick to his high-cost, low-carbon lifestyle?China's environmental organizations have started to advocate low-carbon lifestyles and the decrease of carbon footprints to help fight against climate change. But they have overlooked one fact: in China, low-carbon living comes at a high cost.It means buying energy-saving bulbs and appliances, and environmentally friendly building materials and daily goods. Cost can no longer be the only standard for purchases. An energy-saving and environmentally friendly product is more expensive than a standard alternative- whether it's a simple light bulb or the house it shines. For average consumers, even buying an ordinary house is a huge burden. How can we persuade ordinary people to choose an energy-saving residence? This is not a trend they can afford to follow; perhaps this fashion is only for the rich.Most consumers today do not cause huge carbon dioxide (CO2), emissions. Their responsibility lies not in choosing a low-carbon lifestyle today, but in avoiding a higlr-carton life in the future. The principle of "common but differentiated responsibility"-a basis of sustainable development-can be applied here as well.In China, low-carbon living is still resisted by a lack of social infrastructure. Even if your salary allows you to make that choice, nobody is there to help you accomplish it. Many so-called energy-saving buildings are even more energy-hungry than the average home.31.What may probably be the best title of this passage? .A.To Purchase a Cheap Bulb--Your Wise AlternativeB.T o Choose an Energy -saving Residence- a Must of Your LifeC.T o Live a Low-carbon Lifestyle-a Promising but Difficult PurposeD.T o Live a low-carbon Lifestyle-Each Citizen's Responsibility32.Why did the writer’s colleague get an energy-saving light bulb? .A. He wanted to save some moneyB. He wanted to try living his low-cabon lifestyleC. He was asked to do so by some organizationsD. He wanted to use a more powerful light bulb33.The underlined phrase "blew up", in paragraph 2, is closest in meaning to .A. improved a lotB. saved much energyC. got outdatedD. broke down34.We can infer from the passage that .ing energy -saving bulbs and appliances is a fashionB.not all citizens have the same responsibility-live a low –carbon lifestyleC.it's difficult for most Chinese to try to live a low-carbon lifestyleD.Chinese families cannot afford to purchase an energy-saving residence35.What is the writer's attitude towards the low-carbon lifestyle?A. supportive but cautiousB. optimistic and entertainingC. negative but wiseD. Positive and activePassage TwoAccording to certain research, highway crashes can be cut by optical illusion(错觉).Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using B simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons( 人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D. C. is planning to repeat Japan’s success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are thegreatest-curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear lo be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.36.Drivers tend to feel that on roads painted with chevrons.A. they should avoid speed-related hazardsB. they are driving in the wrong laneC. they are approaching the speed limitD. they should slow down their speed37.The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former .A. will have a longer effect on driversB. can cut road accidents in halfC. can keep drivers awakeD. will look more attractive38.The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to .A. replace straight, horizontal bars with chevronsB. change the road signs across the countryC. try out the Japanese method in certain areasD. repeat the Japanese road patterns39.What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads? .A.They are falling out of use in the United StatesB.They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of timeC.They are applicable only on broad roadsD.They cannot be applied suecessfully to traffic circles40.The passage mainly discusses .A. a new type of optical illusionB. a new pattern for painting highwaysC. a new approach to training driversD. a new way of highway speed controlPassage ThreeAs well as peers of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a Community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may he famous persons but not heroes.Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more morally abundant?Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr, we might still have segregated( 隔离的)buses restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magenetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.41.Although heroes may come from different cultures, they .A. are often influenced by previous generationsB. all unknowingly attract a large number of fansC. generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsD. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people42.According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that .A.they have warm feelings and emotionsB.they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesC.they can make people feel stronger and more confidentD.they have a vision from the mountaintop43.Madonna and Michael Jackson are not regarded as heroes because .A.their primary concern is their own financial interestsB.they are not clear about the principles they should followC.they are popular only among certain groups of peopleD.their performances do not improve their fans morally44.Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who .A.can move the masses with their distinctive charm and skillB.are good at demonstrating their charming charactersC.can provide an answer to the problems of their peopleD.are capable of meeting all challenges and hardships45.The author concludes that historical changes would .A.take place if there were heroes to lead the peopleB.be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesC.not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesD.produce leader with attractive personalitiesPassage FourAfter graduation, I was assigned to teach a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. "Wait a minute" someone might say, "are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class, I'm Mr. Davis. Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.“All right then,” I said. “Okay, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit. At the edge of the deak, overlooking a forest of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you'll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time !”A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.46.The author took the job to teach writing because .A. he had written some storiesB. he wanted to be respectedC. he wanted to please his fatherD. he had dreamed of being a teacher47.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2? .A. He got nervous upon the arrival of his first classB. He was well-prepared for his first classC. He would be aggressive in his first classD.

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the center of the letter.Passage OneHere's a familiar story. You're sitting at the dinner table with a furry, four-legged friend scratching at your feet. When you look down, those cute eyes are almost impossible to resist.What is it about a dog's gaze that makes it so charming? A new study by Japanese scientist Miho Nagasawa seems to have found the answer, and it has to do with something called the cuddle(爱抚)chemical.The cuddle chemical has another, more scientific name: oxytocin. Oxytocin is a substance in the blood that encourages bonding. Levels of oxytocin increase, for example, when a mother feeds her newborn baby. According to Nagasawa's study, the same is true when we look deeply into the eyes of a dog.The results of this study can tell us a lot about the history of the bond between humans and dogs. It all started somewhere tens of thousands of years ago. Scientists believe that wolves used to follow humans who were hunting large animals. The wolves would eat the food left behind by the humans.Humans realized that they could use the wolves to help with the hunt, and eventually both species began to work together toward survival.Over time, the wolves that interacted with the humans began to change. They became more loyal to their human partners. The wolves and humans started to depend on each other and bond with each other. These changes are what causedsome of the wolves to turn into what we now know as dogs, a new specie^ evolved to better survive in their environment.This process depended a great deal on the bond humans formed with them. And according to Nagasawa's study, this bond was formed with the help of oxytocin, the cuddle chemical.11. What do we know about oxytocin?A. It regulates blood flow.B. It promotes bonding.C. It is in the human gene.D. It is good for health.12.

Y ou should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresPonding letter on the AnswerSheet.Passage OneWhen I was studying English at a training center in Washington D.C. in 1998, , I shared a house with two young Americans, Jim, and Steve. Jim was studying French and Steve Chinese, both at the Foreign Service Institute. We shared many things in common, but we also thought and acted quite differently. Steve was interested in sPeaking Chinese. He always tried every oPPortunity to talk with me with his very English-like Pronunciation. I was often touched with his diligence. However, I wanted to Practice English with him, too. So we often sPeak at the same time in the other 's mother tongue. Jim was fresh from college and the youngest of the three. He was going out all the time. The only time we met was at breakfast. There was a small round table in our kitchen, where we sat around to enjoy our food. Steve had Chinese fast food such as dumPlings or noodles, and I ate bread and boiled eggs. But Jim often just drank a cuP of tea because he had nothing in his bridge. He was too busy dating Pretty French girls to do any shoPPing. I often offered him some of my food. But Steve told me in his Poor Chinese that I didn' t need to do that. He said that it was Jim' s own fault and that it served him right. Although he was learning Chinese, he still held his American sense of value.Two years later, I returned to china. The three of us still keeP in touch. Jim now works in a travel agency in Paris. He got married to one of the pretty girls. He wrote to tell us that now he can enjoy a delicious breakfast with his beautiful wife every morning in their comfortable living room. Steve wants to work in china. And V m helping him with this.

Each age has its pleasures and its pains , , and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child —things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains:Heis not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food his clothes, or his room, he hasto work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. If, however, he works hard, goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, fell the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others.66. The happiest people should be those who ____ .A. Face up to difficulties in lifeB. Hope to be young againC. Enjoy life in different ageD. Wish to be grown up67. The word “ they ” underlined in Line 5, para. 2refers to ________A. Older peopleB. New thingsC. ChildrenD. Interests68. A child has his pains because _____ .A. He can not do whatever he wants toB. He is not allowed to play in rainC. He has a lot of new things to learnD. He can not play at the seaside freely69. When a child becomes a grown-up, he is supposed to ___ .A.live comfortablyB. Take responsibilitiesC. Make progress in jobD. Impress the society70. The best title of the passage might be ____ .A. Pains and AgesB. Differences in AgesC. The Best Age to BeD. Happiness and AgesPassage ThreeLife really should be one long journey of joy for children who are bora with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste. If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness, then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.Dr. Robert Coles, an internationally famous doctor, is the world's top expert on the influence of money on children. He has wriTitten a well-received book on the subject, The Privileged Ones, and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich , ," says the 53-year-old doctor, such as better health, education and future work expectation. But most important is the quality offamily-life. Money can't buy love."It can buy a lot of other things, though, and that's where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Their parents'over favoring can make them spoiled. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless."But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world ; ." adds Mr. Coles, "and they are more self-assured." Today's rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children. So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.71.

Rather than fail, she took the test out with her and filled in the answer s with the help of her friends. During a break, she got back into the classroom without being seen, crumpled the test with her shoe, and left it lying on the floor.The teacher thought it had been drop ped when the tests were collected; she corrected it, and Charlene received a B. Cheating is, of course, nothing new. But today,educators are finding that cheating on the part of students has become more frequent than in the past. Whether it is copying a friend's homework, using a prepared sheet on an exam, stealing advance copies of a final, writing down rules inone ' s hand, or paying someone else to write a term paper, cheating appears to have gained acceptance among a growing number of students between 13and 19. In a 1978study of cheating at twenty-two high schools in Georgia, it was found that cheating was common among good and poor students alike —although both boys and girls said they thought boys cheated more.Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame cheating on a general loss of good values amongtoday's youth. They point to facts showing increased damage of public thin gs and school stealing and think that reports, such as Watergate have disappointed youth about the honesty of people in higher positions.Others think that today's youth are far more practical than their forefathers. In the late sixties and e arly seventies, students were filled with imaginations about changing the world, but today's students feel great stress to succeed.76. According to Paragraph 1, Charlene took the test out because ___ .A. her friends could answer none of the problemsB. she tore the test paper to piecesC. she stepped her shoes on the test paperD. she did not want to fail in the math test77.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneUndoubtedly, leading a low-carbon lifestyle is a popular trend in modern society, where a considerable number of individuals begin to undertake the responsibility to protect the environment. One of my Chinadialogue colleagues in Beijing recently bought a Philips energy-saving light bulb to replace a standard one. He was happy with his choice. It may have cost 30 Yuan (just under 4.50 dollars)—ten times the price of a filament (灯丝) bulb—but he wanted to save energy as part of his low-carbon lifestyle. And according to the shopkeeper, he would save, in the long run, much more than the 30 Yuan he was spending. Yet only one month later, his expensive light bulb blew up, before he had saved even a small part of the purchase price. Will he stick to his high-cost,low-carbon lifestyle?China's environmental organizations have started to advocate low-carbon lifestyles and the decrease of carbon footprints to help fight against climate change. But they have overlooked one fact: in China, low-carbon living comes at a high cost.It means buying energy-saving bulbs and appliances, and environmentally friendly building materials and daily goods. Cost can no longer be the only standard for purchases. An energy-saving and environmentally friendly product is more expensive than a standard alternative—whether it's a simple light bulb or the house it shines. For average consumers, even buying an ordinary house is a huge burden. How can we persuade ordinary people to choose an energy-saving residence? This is not a trend they can afford to follow; perhaps this fashion is only for the rich.Most consumers today do not cause huge carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Their responsibility lies not in choosing a low-carbon lifestyle today, but in avoiding a high-carbon life in the future. The principle of "common but differentiated responsibility" —a basis of sustainable development—can be applied here as well.In China, low-carbon living is still resisted by a lack of social infrastructure. Even if your salary allows you to make that choice, nobody is there to help you accomplish it. Many so-called energy-saving buildings are even more energy-hungry than the average home.31、 What may probably be the best title of this passage?A. To purchase a cheap bulb—your wise alternative.B. To choose an energy-saving residence—a must of your life.C. To live a low-carbon lifestyle—a promising but difficult purpose.D. To live a low-carbon lifestyle—each citizen's responsibility.32、 Why did the writer's colleague get an energy-saving light bulb?A. He wanted to save some money.B. He wanted to try living his low-carbon lifestyle.C. He was asked to do so by some organizations.D. He wanted to use a more powerful light bulb.33、 The underlined phrase "blew up", in paragraph 2, is closest in meaning to ______.A. improved a lotB. saved much energyC. got outdatedD. broke down34、 We can infer from the passage that ______.A. using energy-saving bulbs and appliances is a fashionB. not all citizens have the same responsibility—live a low-carbon lifestyleC. it's difficult for most Chinese to try to live a low-carbon lifestyleD. Chinese families cannot afford to purchase an energy-saving residence35、 What is the writer's attitude towards the low-carbon lifestyle?A. supportive but cautiousB. optimistic and entertainingC. negative but wiseD. positive and active Passage TwoAccording to certain research, highway crashes can he cut by optical illusion(错觉).Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons(人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan's success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selectedroads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes. Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are the greatest—curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.36、 Drivers tend to feel that ______ on roads painted with chevrons.A. they should avoid speed-related hazardsB. they are driving in the wrong laneC. they are approaching the speed limitD. they should slow down their speed37、 The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former ______.A. will have a longer effect on driversB. can cut road accidents in halfC. can keep drivers awakeD. will look more attractive38、 The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to ______.A. replace straight, horizontal bars with chevronsB. change the road signs across the countryC. try out the Japanese method in certain areasD. repeat the Japanese road patterns39、 What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads?A. They are falling out of use in the United States.B. They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time.C. They are applicable only on broad roads.D. They cannot be applied successfully to traffic circles.40、 The passage mainly discussesA. a new type of optical illusionB. a new pattern for painting highwaysC. a new approach to training driversD. a new way of highway speed controlPassage ThreeAs well as peers of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame. Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure testfor would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more morally abundant? Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large- scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.41、 Although heroes may come from different culures, they ______.A. are often influenced by previous generationsB. all unknowingly attract a large number of fansC. generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsD. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people42、 According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that ______.A. they have warm feelings and emotionsB. they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesC. they can make people feel stronger and more confidentD. they have a vision from the mountaintop43、 Madonna and Michael Jackson are not regarded as heroes because ______.A. their primary concern is their own financial interestsB. they are not clear about the principles they should followC. they are popular only among certain groups of peopleD. their performances do not improve their fans morally44、 Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outs-tanding leaders who ______.A. can move the masses with their distinctive charm and skillB. are good at demonstrating their charming charactersC. can provide an answer to the problems of their peopleD. are capable of meeting all challenges and hardships45、 The author concludes that historical changes would ______.A. take place if there were heroes to lead the peopleB. be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesC. not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesD. produce leaders with attractive personalitiesPassage FourAfter graduation, I was assigned to teach a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. "Wait a minute" someone might say, "are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?"The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, "Hello, class. I'm Mr. Davis." Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required. "All right then," I said. "Okay, here we go." Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of hands. Every student would yell. "Calm down, you'll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!"A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I insp ected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.46、 The author took the job to teach writing because ______.A. he had written some storiesB. he wanted to be respectedC. he wanted to please his fatherD. he had dreamed of beinga teacher47、 What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?A. He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class.B. He was well-prepared for his first class.C. He would be aggressive in his first class.D. He waited long for the arrival of his first class.48、 Before he started his class, the author asked the students to ______.A. write down their suggestions on the paper cardsB. cut maple leaves out of the construction paperC. write down their names on the paper cardsD. cut some cards out of the construction paper49、 What did the students do when the author started his class?A. They raised their hands.B. They shouted to be heard.C. They began to talk.D. They stayed silent.50、 The author chose the composition topic probably because ______.A. he had prepared the topic before classB. he got frustrated with his first classC. he wanted to calm down the studentsD. he thought it was an easy topicⅢ．ClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

The year of 2014 is bound to be an unordinary year for the poet Yu Xiuhua. Before 2014, Yu was only a 39-year-old farmer and lived a 51 life in a tiny village in Hubei Province.

Without the media's offensive, Yu Xiuhua and her works wouldhave 64 unknown to ordinary readers. The reports about her 65 disabilities and struggle have moved and even 66 many people.In fact, Yu rekindles(点燃) people's passion for poetry. But perhaps even more 67 than her poetry itself is the rural woman's 68 that fame is never something she hoped for. Such sudden and widespread personal-life 69 to the public has made Yu feel uneasy and even a little bit overwhelmed. All she hopes to do is stay at her home to create poems 70 just as she used to.51、 A. easy B. hard C. happy D. rich52、 A. burst into B. suffered from C. objected to D. confessed to53、 A. drop out of B. get rid of C. give rise to D. get down to54、 A. respect B. chance C. achievements D. fame55、 A. discovered B. exploded C. covered D. mastered56、 A. sold B. consumed C. limited D. made57、 A. applied B. evaluated C. littered D. published58、 A. turn B. translate C. adapt D. offer59、 A. convinced B. reported C. informed D. intended60、 A. different B. obvious C. optimistic D. pessimistic61、 A. concluded B. criticized C. praised D. observed62、 A. while B. when C. although D. since63、 A. cases B. conditions C. qualities D. concepts64、 A. remained B. proved C. appeared D. seemed65、 A. spiritual B. physical C. rigid D. movable66、 A. overcame B. sympathized C. inspired D. adored67、 A. confident B. flexible C. classic D. impressive68、 A. intention B. courage C. attitude D. hobby69、 A. separation B. exposure C. persistence D. opposition70、 A. peacefully B. gracefully C. hopefully D. passionatelyⅣ．Error CorrectionDirections: There are 10 sentences.

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the center of the letter.Passage OneHere's a familiar story. You're sitting at the dinner table with a furry, four-legged friend scratching at your feet. When you look down, those cute eyes are almost impossible to resist.What is it about a dog's gaze that makes it so charming A new study by Japanese scientist Miho Nagasawa seems to have found the answer, and it has to do with something called the cuddle(爱抚)chemical.The cuddle chemical has another, more scientific name: oxytocin. Oxytocin is a substance in the blood that encourages bonding. Levels of oxytocin increase, for example, when a mother feeds her newborn baby. According to Nagasawa's study, the same is true when we look deeply into the eyes of a dog.The results of this study can tell us a lot about the history of the bond between humans and dogs. It all started somewhere tens of thousands of years ago. Scientists believe that wolves used to follow humans who were hunting large animals. The wolves would eat the food left behind by the humans.Humans realized that they could use the wolves to help with the hunt, and eventually both species began to work together toward survival.Over time, the wolves that interacted with the humans began to change. They became more loyal to their human partners. The wolves and humans started to depend on each other and bond with each other. These changes are what caused some of the wolves to turn into what we now know as dogs, a new specie^ evolved to better survive in their environment.This process depended a great deal on the bond humans formed with them. And according to Nagasawa's study, this bond was formed with the help of oxytocin, the cuddle chemical.11. What do we know about oxytocinA. It regulates blood flow.B. It promotes bonding.C.
