If we could learn English in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. 49 what a small child does. He listens to what people say. He tries what he hears. When he is using the language, talking in it, 50 in it all the time. Just imagine how much 51 that gets!So it is 52 to say that learning English is easy, because a good command of English 53 upon a lot of practice. And practice needs great effort and 54 much time.

The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.There are several major language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divide them differently. The languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language.

They are available in different currencies and they can be cashed at most banks throughout the world. Most shops, hotels and restaurants also accept them.Traveler's checks are very easy to use.

His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attrac t people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly form the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.” （词数268）66. Frank took a short business course in order to ____________.A. earn more money for his familyB. learn something from a salesmanC. get away from the farmD. get enough to eat.67. Frank sold the odds and ends quickly because _____________.A. he knew how to get people to buy his goods.B. he cut down the price by halfC. he had put the goods on a table in a very nice way.D. the sign he put on the table was well designed.68. The price of the knives was cut down by half because ______________.A. the factory workers worked 24 hours a day.B. knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the factory.C. the knives were made in Germany, where labor (劳动力) was cheap.D. the knives were produced in one factory.69. _____________make Woolworth a world-famous man.A. His business skills and his wealth.B. The low price of the goods he sold.C. His trip to Germany and his huge order of knives.D. His natural skill for showing things.70. The belief that : “ The customer is always right” suggests that _______________.A. whenever there is a quarrel between the customer and shop assistant, the customers are always right.B. If you want to succeed, the rule is the only way.C. stores must always follow the customer’s orders if they want to make more money.D. stores should do their best to meet the customer’s needs if they want to be successful.Two brightly colored butterflies have just flown by. They seems to be exactly alike, but actually one is a little larger than the other. 71 The smaller one has a wingspread of less than three inches and also a black line on its back wings.At first sight, it is hard to tell them apart. Would you guess from this that they are different-sized butterflies of the same species? 72 If you said yes to either question, you would be wrong, for these look-alikes belong to quite different families.The larger insect is the monarch butterfly (黑脉金斑蝶). As a baby insect, the monarch feeds on milkweed, which seems to give the monarch a disagreeable taste and smell. 73 Birds that eat butterflies soon recognize the monarch and quickly learn to leave it alone.74 Birds would find this insect tasty, but because it looks like the monarch, birds keep away from it. The viceroy’s similarity to the monarch gives it some protection from its enemies and helps it survive.There are other pairs of look-alike butterflies, bees and moths. In each case, one either has a disagreeable taste or smell, or can give a painful sting (叮咬). The larger is called the model. 75 （词数206）A. The smaller insect is the viceroy (副王峡蝶), which feeds on the leaves of trees.B. The larger insect has a wingspread (翼长) of up to four inches.C. The bright coloring of the monarch acts as a warning sign to its enemy.D. Birds protect their babies from eating such dangerous enemies.E. The insect that imitates this model for protection is called the mimic（保护色）.F. Or that they are different species of butterflies but close relatives belonging to the same family?G. Do you like this kind of special species?写作：短文改错Last Saturday, I wanted very much to see a film together with my brother after supper. On my way to the cinema, we happen to meet an American named Peter, who had lost his way, looked worried. When he told us that he wasn't able to find the hotel, we decided take him there. When we went to the hotel, we told of Peter the great changes that had taken place in our country in the past few year, and he told us a lot of things about the youths in the U.S.A.Although my brother and I missed a interesting film, we felt very happily, for we had not only helped Peter out of trouble and also learnt something by him. （词数123）书面表达假设你是李华。

Her necklace was missing.The manager quickly closed all the doors. He telephoned the police. No one could get out of the coffee house. The policemen soon came.

The necklace couldn’t be found.The police inspector then looked at the faces of all the people in the coffee house. He saw the ugly man and looked at the man carefully.

The idea of wo man in the business world was unthinkable. Men were certain that no woman could do a good job outside her home. This was such a widely accepted idea that when the well-known Bronte sisters began writing books in 1864, they had to sign their books with men’s names instead.Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to accept women.Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Nightingale became famous. Seeing that she was not only a nurse but also a rich and well-educated woman, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be “ladies”. Miss Nightingale opened England’s first training school for nurse in 1860.The invention of the typewriter in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world. By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals and offices in both England and America. Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The idea that women could work in the business world had been accepted.55. Why couldn’t women become teachers easily? Because___________A.the first profession open to them was writing.B.most schools and colleges were open only to men.C.they wanted to be nurses instead.D.they had to work in the business world.56.

Modern technology will make it come true. Man will live more y ears beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life.“ I think we are knocking at the door of immortality”, said Michael, a professor and author of two books on human life expectancy. “I think by 2075 we will see it and it’s no longer a dream. Human’s life expectancy may have not limit.”At the meeting in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School said advances in using genes as well as other technology make it likely that humans will live in the future bey ond what has been possible in the past. “There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 300 or 500 years.”However, many scientists are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last more than about 120 y ears. Even with healthier lifesty les and less disease, they say failure of the brain and other parts of the body will finally lead all humans to death.Scientists also hold different opinions on what kind of life man might live. “If you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life? It’s a big question.”said Leonard Poon, director of the university center. “At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”59. The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means _____.A. dying slowlyB. living longerC. living foreverD. dying quickly60. Donald’s attitude is that______.A. human beings may never die in the futureB. it is not certain how long humans can liveC. the human body can last about 120 y earsD. it is possible for man to live longer in the future61. What would be the best title for this text?A. Living longer or notB. Science and long livingC. No limit for human lifeD. Healthy lifesty le and living62. In the last sentence “get to that point” means ____.A. get that ideaB. get to 120 years oldC. know how to live foreverD. have good quality of lifeDBecause of the development of agriculture, the area of land affected by sand has gradually increased. During the 1950s and 1960s the land affected by sand expanded on average into 1,600 square kilometers per year. By the 1990s, the area had reached 2,500 square kilometers per y ear. This kind of situation is particularly serious in many regions upwind(逆风的) from Beijing. Fengning City in Hebei Province and Duolun City in Inner Mongolia lie to the north of Beijing, and in the last 50 years the population of these two cities has grown by 2 to 3 times. In order to obtain more resources, the inhabitants have been busy with heavy farming, tree-cutting and keeping animals. The result is that the soil which has sustained damage, and the sand layer below the earth is now exposed on the ground and the ground is rapidly being controlled by the spread of sand.China has already noticed this problem, and has take measures to save the land. Nowadays, some land used for farming has returned to forestland and grassland. The Chinese government announced that it would invest more than RMB 600,000,000 to control Beijing’s sandstorms in the coming y ears. Only by decreasing the damage caused by man and restoring the natural environment will it be possible to well control the sources of the sand and dust. We hope in the not-distant future, we will solve the problem successfully and effectively.63. Compared with 50s and 60s, the land affected by sand increased by _____ square kilometers by the 1990s.A. 1,600B. 2,500C. 900D. 1,10064. Which of the following is NOT the cause of the damaged land?A.People use the resources too much.B.People keep animals which need more grain.C.People prepare too much land to grow crops.D.People cut a lot of forests and raise animals.65. The major measure that Chinese government has taken is _____.A.controlling the growth of the populationB. making better use of natural resourcesC. killing fewer animals and cutting fewer treesD. returning some land to forestland and grassland66.According to the passage, it can be inferred that _____ was the major factor of the environmentaldamage.A. manB. animalC. natureD. desert第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

He stopped right next to me to greet his family.First he kissed his three children one by one and said, “It’s nice to see you. I missed you so much!” Then he hugged his wife, “I’ve saved the best for last!” giving her the longest, most passionate kiss I ever remember seeing. They stared at each other’s eyes, smiling at one another, while holding both hands. For an instant they reminded me of newlyweds, but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldn’t possibly be.Full of admiration, I asked, “Wow! How long have you two been married?” “Being together for fourteen years total, married twelve of those.” He replied, without breaking his gaze from his lovely wife’s face. “Well, then, how long have you been away?” I asked. “Two whole days!” “Two days?” I was astonished. By the intensity (热烈) of the greeting, I had assumed he’d been gone for at least several weeks —if not months. I knew my expression betrayed me, so I turned away my eyes and said quietly, “I hope my marriage is still that passionate after so long!”The man suddenly stopped smiling and looked at me straight in the eye. With forcefulness he told me something that left me a different person. “Don’t hope, friend…decide!” Then he smiled again, shook my hand and said, “God bless!”With that, he and his family turned and walked away together.I was still watching that man and his special family walk just out of sight when my friend came up to me and asked, “What are you looking at?” Without hesitation, and with a curious sense of certainty, I replied, “My future!”56. The best title of the passage may be __________.A. Long Loving HugsB. My FutureC. Don’t Hope, DecideD. Love Is Everywhere57. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The man replied to the author, with his eyes still fixe d on his wife’s face.B. After being away for several weeks, the man missed his family very much.C. It was fourteen years since the couple had got married.D. Their three kids reminded the author of newlyweds.58. By saying “my expression betrayed me” (in Paragraph 4), the author means that __________.A. he failed to express his ideas to the manB. the man sensed his real feelings from his expressionC. he didn’t believe in his expression any moreD. his expression was not faithful to him59. From the passage, we can infer that __________.A. the experience may be easily forgotten by the authorB. the author will live a passionate life from now onC. the author will be away from his family and hug them passionately upon his returnD. Americans prefer to save the best for lastBCan you understand the beginning of this essay?“My smmr hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, hisGf & 3 kds FTF.”The Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girl who wrote it meant. The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text messages. Text messages (also called SMS) through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At first, mobile phone companies thought that text measuring would be a good way to messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send messages to each other. Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called “texting.”A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so messages must be kept short. In addition, typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult, so it’s common to make words shorter. In texting, a single letter or number ca n represent a word, like “r” for “are”, “u” for “you”, and “2” for “to”. Several letters can also represent a phrase, like “lol” for “laughing out loud”. Another characteristic of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling “please” as “pls”.Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The students who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her. (The essay said, “My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face.”)Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing. Some experts say languages always develop, and this is just another way in which English is changing. Other people believe texting will disappear soon. New technology for voice messages may soon make text messages a thing of the past.60. What is the writer’s opinion of text messaging?A. The writer does not give his opinions.B. It is not bad for children.C. It will make children bad writers.D. It is fun and easy to do.61. Which characteristic of texting is NOT described in the passage?A. Using letters to represent wordsB. Using phrases to represent essays.C. Using letters to represent phrasesD. Using numbers to represent words.62. Which of the following was most probably the title of the student’s essay?A. My Smmr HolsB. CU in LAC. My GFD. M Gr8 Tchr63. Why a ren’t some people worried about the effect of texting?A. Not many people use textingB. Spelling in English is too difficultC. Teenagers quickly become bored with textingD. Texting will disappear because of new technology.CSign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique ----a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy (争论): whether language, completed with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world’s only liberal arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stokoe went to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd; among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher.Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural (手势) code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the “hand talk” his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as “substandard”. Stokoe’s idea was academic heresy (异端邪说).It is 37 years later. Stokoe ----now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture --- is having lunch at a café near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation(调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movements of hands, the modulation of space. “What I said,” Stokoe explains, “is that language is not mouth stuff (素材)--- it’s brain stuff.”64. The study of sign language is thought to be ________.A. a new way to look at the learning of languageB. a challenge to traditional views on the nature of languageC. an approach to simplifying the grammatical structure of a languageD. an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of language65. Most educators objected to Stokoe’s idea because they thought _____.A. sign language was not extensively used even by deaf peopleB. sign language was too artificial to be widely used and understoodC. a language should be easy to use and understandD. a language could only exist in the form of speech sounds66. Stokoe’s argument is based on his belief that _____.A. sign language is as efficient as any other languageB. sign language is derived from natural languageC. language is a system of meaningful codesD. language is a product of the brain.DThe Best Western New EnglanderLocation.

Their quest for answers has recently produced a 50-page article in Psychological Bulletin, which reviewed 225 scientific studies on this topic.________ 72 ________ ? The short answer is that while success probably does make people happy (it’s better than failure, at any rate), it is also true that having a happy temperament --- defined in the article as “long-term propensity (倾向) to frequently experience positive emotions” --- enables you to do the things that turn into success. Your “positive effect”, which is the outward sign of your happiness, will make it more likely that you’ll land the job, find friends, form a happy marriage or other close long-term relationships, make money, be loved in your community, and be healthy. The evidence concerning health is only suggestive. ________73_________. We do know from other research that having friends, love, respect, social support, and agreeable employment as well as optimism and a positive attitude do tend in the long run to make people healthier.Plowing through their accumulated evidence, the researchers asked whether happy people are better off, whether they cope better, whether they reap larger social rewards, and whether they have stronger immune systems. The answers are always yes, even though the evidence for their immune system is, again, only suggestive. ________74________. They seek out other people; they solve problems creatively, and as they are more flexible,they are better able to adapt to adversity (逆境).________75_______.A. Happy people tend to say they are healthy, but that doesn’t mean they really areB. This might be a pleasant topic to debate over tea some afternoon, but for psychologists, poll-takers, economists, and other observers of behavior, it’s crucialC．Perhaps the most that can be said is in the study’s conclusion: happiness is a great asset (资产), but no guarantee of a perfect lifeD．Do you know why the researchers attach great importance to this problemE．So what did the researchers find outF．In conclusion, happiness leads to success and vice versaG．But happy people seem to do better socially短文改错：Some day I happened to find a chatting room in my QQ, there people were chatting in English.

He was severely crippled and very short，and when we would walk together，his hand on my arm for balance，people would stare. I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention.It was difficult to walk together---and because of that，we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he alway s said，“You set the pace. I will try to adjust to y ou.” Our usual walk was to or from the subway，which was how he got to work. He went to work sick,and even in bad weather. He almost never missed a day，which he was proud of.When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help. At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn，NY，on a child’s sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there，he would try to grasp the handrail(栏杆) until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building，and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brookly n on his way home.When I think of it now，I am surprised at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to suffer from shame and disability. And at how he did it －without bitterness or complaint .He never talked about himself as an object of pity，nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”，and if he found one，the owner was good enough for him.Now he has been away for many y ears , but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks . If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was，how unworthy I was and how I regretted it.

Just like the Internet was 10 y ears ago, blogging is popular with an underground culture that is doing it for love and passion.Blogging is a way of collecting links to webpages and sharing thoughts and ideas with people online. Blogs are basically online journals or diaries which are created for sharing information and ideas.Dominic, a fifth-grade student, writes: “The blogs give us a chance to communicate betwe en ourselves and inspire us to write more. When we publish on our blog, people across the entire world can respond by using the ‘comments’ link. In this way, they can ask questions or simply tell us what they like. We can then know if people like what we write and this indicates to us where we can improve. By reading these comments, we can discover our weaknesses and our strengths. Blogging is an opportunity to exchange our points of view with the rest of the world rather than just people in our immediate e nvironment.”Blogging is sweeping the Internet. A recent report noted that at least three million Americans have created blogs, with similar numbers being seen worldwide.Two y ears ago, Andrew Sullivan decided to set up a Web page himself and used “Blogger. com” to publish some daily musings (冥想) to a readership (读者人数) of a few hundred. He worked hard at the blog for months for no financial reward. But the result is that he is now reaching almost a quarter of a million readers a month and making a profit.Think about it for a minute: Why not build an online presence with y our daily musings and then tell your first book through print-on-demand (POD) technology direct from your Web site? Why should writers go to newspapers and magazines to get an essay published when they can simply write it themselves, change it into a PDF file, and charge a few bucks per download?This, at least, is the idea: a publishing revolution more profound than anything since the printing press. “Blogger. com” could be to words what Napster was to music.48. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Blogs are mainly online chatting with others.B. Blogging is important in the past few years.C. Dominic wants to get a chance to be a writer.D. Blogging makes us exchange our view only with friends49. According to the passage, about _______ people worldwide have created blogs except Americans.A. 250,000B. 750,000C. 3 millionD. 6 million50. From the passage we can see that “Napster” in the last paragraph is probably related to ___________.A. newspapersB. readersC. wordsD. music51. What would be the best title of this passage?A. What is BloggingB. Blog is Y our FavoriteC. Blogging Goes MainstreamD. A Publishing RevolutionETo get an extra 14 y ears of life, don’t smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount. That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library o f Science Medicine Journal.After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45-79 years in the United Kingdom from about 1993-2007, Kay-T ee, Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived an average of 14 y ears longer than those who didn’t.“We’ve known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we’ve not seen this benefit before, ” said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain’s Medical Research Council. “The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from.”Study participants scored a point each for not smoking, regular phy sical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake.Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes. But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviours would surely gain 14 y ears.“We can’t say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things,” said Doctor Tim Armstrong, a phy sical activity expert at the World Health Organizatio n. ”The 14 y ears is an average across the population of what’s theoretically possible.”“Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking is not good for them”, Susan Jebb said, ”We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change.”52. Which of the following doesn’t belong to the four healthy habits?A. Eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.B. Doing proper exercise in the morning every day.C. Having a cigarette before going to bed every day.D. Drinking alcohol in the proper amount every day.53. We can learn from the passage that_____.A. the study observed people as well as tested specific changesB. Susan Jebb did not take part in the studyC. there is no need for people under 45 adopt these good habitsD. only those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviours54. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Governments should take measures to help people change their bad habits.B. People aged 45-79 have bad habits in the United Kingdom.C. All the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habits.D. People have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing they’re good.55. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Smoking and Drinking Cuts Y ou 14 Y earsB. Healthy Habits Could Gain Y ou Extra 14 yearsC. A New Way of Keeping HealthyD. Smoking and Drinking Harms Y our Health第二节A man was driving at 70 miles in a 40-mile-zone, when a police car came behind him with the light on.56As the policeman came to him, he said, "Hi, officer, I guess you caught me a little bit over the limit. I was in a rush to get home, to be with my wife and kids, y ou know my younger son wasn't feeling too well when I left home this morning."The policeman said, "Well, I guess so,'' and started writing something in his notebook. ____57 . A few moments later, the policeman came to his window and handed him a paper, and returned to his car withoutsay ing a single word.

He got a fine, a few months in prison, and was free, free to hug two other daughters. 59__ I have tried to forgive that man a thousand times, and I thought I had. Maybe I really did forgive him, but I have to do it again, even right now. 60 "The man was very surprised and could not move for the next few minutes. When finally he did, he drove slowly, even a few miles under the speed limit, pray ing for forgiveness.A.So pray for you, and be careful when you drive again, your daughter is all you have left.B.I only had one and now I have to wait until I get to heaven before I can hug her a gainC.Right away theman started thinking of excuse to give.D.He was surprised it was not a ticket as he began to read :E.So pray for me, and be careful when you drive again, my son is all I have left.F．As minutes went by, he could see from the side view mirror, the policeman was still writing.G.He was surprised it was not a ticket but a receipt(收据).第二节71 短文改错Kate and I , high school classmate, often spend a lot of time shop together. I enjoy Kate’s friendship, butone of her habit is really starting to bother me. When there aren’t any trashcans around, she just throws hertrash on ground. One Saturday afternoon, we went to their favorite part of town. The busy streets and a large number stores made it a great place to shop.

Rules for riding motor vehicles on camps.BWhen you think about math, you p robably don’t think about breaking the law, solving mysteries or finding criminals. But a mathematician in Maryland does, and he has come up with mathematical tools to help police find criminals.People who solve crimes look for patterns that might reveal (揭示) the identity of the criminal. It’s long been believed, for example, that c riminals will break the law closer to where they live, simply because it’s easier to get around in their own neighborhood. If police see a pattern of robberies in a certain area, they may look for a suspect who lives near the crime scenes. So, the farther away from the area a crime takes place, the less likely it is that the same criminal did it.But Mike O’Leary, a mathematic ian at Towson University in Maryland, says that this k ind of approach may be too simple. He says that police may get better clues to the location of a criminal’s home base by combining these patterns with a city’s layout (布局) and historical crime records.The records of past crimes contain geographical information and can reveal easy targets —that is, the kind of stores that might be less difficult to rob. Because these stores are along roads, the locations of past crimes contain information about where major streets and intersections are. O’Leary is writing a new computer program that will quickly provide this kind of information for a given city. His program also includes information about the people who live in the city, and information about how a criminal’s patterns change with age. It’s been shown, for e xample, that the younger the criminal, the closer to home the crime.Other computer programmers have worked on similar software, but O’Leary’s uses more math. The mathematician plans to make his computer program available, free of charge, to police departments around the country.The program is just one way to use math to fight crime. O’Leary says that criminology — the study of crime and criminals —contains a lot of good math problems. “I feel like I’m in a gold mine and I’m the only one who knows what go ld looks like,”he says. “It’s a lot of fun.”61. To find criminals, police usually _________.A. check who are on the crime sceneB. seek help from local peopleC. depend on new mathematical toolsD. focus on where crimes take place62. O’Leary is writing a computer program that _________.A. uses math to increase the speed of calculationB. tells the identity of a criminal in a certain areaC. provides the crime records of a given cityD. shows changes in criminals’ patterns63. By “I’m the only one who knows what gold looks like”, O’Leary means that he _________.A. is better at finding gold than othersB. is the only one who uses math to make moneyC. knows best how to use math to help solve crimesD. has more knowledge of gold than other mathematicians64. What do you know about O’Leary according to the passage?A. He is a man full of impractical imagination.B. He is a man full of self-confidence.C. He is a man who is talkative but lazy.D. He is a man who doesn’t like mathematics.65. What is the main idea of the text?A. Math could help police find criminals.B. Criminals live near where crimes occur.C. Crime records could be used to fight crime.D. Computer software works in preventing crimes.CDepression is one of the most common mental health issues among Americans, and children are also affected by it. Childhood depression increases the risk of suicide. It’s important that parents become aware of the signs and symptoms of childhood depression, because children usually can’t express their feelings in a way that adults will understand that they’re depressed. One in every 33 children may be struggling with depression, according to Kids Health.Signs and Symptoms of Clinical Depression in ChildrenDepression in adults and children can look quite different. Sometimes children become impatient instead of sad and throw a tantrum(发脾气) when depressed. They might not necessarily look like the typical crying person that people are used to seeing on television when someone is described as depressed. Here are more symptoms of childhood depression: overwhelming sadness, weight loss or weight gain due to under-eating or over-eating, sleeplessness, low self-esteem(自尊),etc.A child who is depressed may refuse to go to school, have a sudden drop in his grades, and stop playing with his friends after school. Things that used to make him happy seem to no longer interest him.T reatment Options for Children Suffering from DepressionMedication, individual therapy, and family therapy are forms of treatment for children who are depressed. Many times it is recommended that children try different forms of psychotherapy before considering medication. The most commonly appointed medications for children who have a diagnosis of major depressive disorder are antidepressants(抗抑郁药). Some children need a combination of therapy and medication to reduce the symptoms of depression. It depends on each child’s individual symptoms and the severity of the depression. In any form of treatment, parents play an essential part and should be fully involved.It can be scary for a parent to think that his child is depressed; however, it’s important to understand the signs and symptoms of depression, signs of suicidal thoughts, treatment options forchildhood depression and the basic information about antidepressants.66. From the text we can learn that ______.A. depression is the most common mental problem in AmericaB. about 3 percent of children may be suffering from depressionC. when a child struggles with depression, what he needs most is medicineD. signs and symptoms of depression in children are quite similar to those in adults67. According to the text, we know that if a child is depressed, he may _______.A. get angry easilyB. talk with his parents about his problemC. go out with his friends and have a big mealD. have no interest in anything except watching TV68. All the following are signs and symptoms of childhood depression EXCEPT“________”.A. lack of self-respectB. over-eating or under-eatingC. having difficulty in falling asleepD. often crying when watching TV69. From Paragraph 4, we can infer that _______.A. only the severity of depression determines the form of treatmentB. medication is the most useful form of treatment for depressionC. a child suffering from depression should turn to a psychologist firstD. in dealing with depression, parents play the most important role70. What is the passage about?A. Why children will have depression.B. How we should treat depression in childhood.C. What the symptoms and treatment of depression in children are.D. When the best time for parents to treat depression in children is.PART FOUR WRITINGSECTION ADirection: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Direction: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when we are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion?Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut a boy’s hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull.What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats for example. In cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats: more American men followed his example.There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and America, short skirts became fashionable. After World War Two, they dropped to ankle length. Then they got shorter and shorter the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, skirts became longer again. Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion. The popularity of jeans and the “untidy” look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses.At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then we must choose our clothes carefully. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in a law firm wearing jeans and a sweater; and it would be discourteous to visit some distinguished scholar looking as if we were going to the beach or a night club. However, you need never feel depressed if you don’t look like the latest fashion photo. Look around you and you’ll see that no one else does either.I.

They can complement each other and better complete their mission."The native of central China's Henan province started looking toward the skies just after high school, when one of her teachers convinced her to enroll in an aviation school.Joining the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force in 1997, Liu became a veteran pilot after flying safely for 1,680 hours. She was promoted to deputy head of a PLA flight unit before being recruited as a prospective astronaut in May 2010. She is now an Air Force major.Liu has been described by her colleagues as being outgoing, eloquent and well-versed. Since joining the military, she has received accolades for her public speaking, winning first place in a military speech contest in 2010.She has also impressed others as a quick learner. After becoming a prospective astronaut in 2010, she devoted the first year to basic academic and physical training. Before the start of the Shenzhou-9 mission, she had finished all scheduled training courses."Despite starting her training late, she is now on the same page as us, which is beyond our expectations," said Jing Haipeng, commander of the mission.Jing was also impressed by the swiftness and decisiveness Liu has displayed during training sessions, citing the calm manner she displays in dealing with simulated emergencies.However, the difficulty and intensity of her training has not deprived her of life's pleasures. Liu loves reading, particularly novels, essays and history books. She is also a proficient cook."I love children and I love life," said Liu, who lives in Beijing with her husband. "To be with my family is one kind of happiness, but to fly is another kind that people cannot typically experience."81. How many astronauts are there in the Shenzhou-9 manned spacecraft?

My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to contact the AA Company. Low grey clouds were gathering across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea which nearly threw me off my feet every time I crossed one of the side streets. It had rained in the night and water was dropping from the bare trees that lined the street. I was glad that I was wearing a thick coat.There was no sign of a call box, nor was there any one at that early hour whom I could ask. I had thought I might find a shop open selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his rounds, but the town was completely dead. The only living thing I saw was a thin frightened cat outside a small restaurant.Then suddenly I found what I was looking for. There was a small post office, and almost hidden from sight in a dark narrow street. Next to it was the town’s only public call box, which badly needed a coat of paint. I hurried forward, but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside. He was fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat. I could not see his face and he didn’t raise his head at the sound of my footsteps.Carefully, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait for my turn. It was when I threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the box call door.36.At what time was the story set?A. An early winter morningB. A cold winter afternoonC. An early summer morningD. A windy summer afternoon37.Which of the following words best describe the writer’s impression of the town?A. cold and frighteningB. dirty and crowdedC. empty and deadD. unusual and unpleasant38.The underlined word “trickling” in the last paragraph means_______________A. rushing out suddenlyB. shining brightlyC. flowing slowly in dropsD. appearing slowly39.Why didn’t the man raise his head when the writer came near?A. He was annoy ed at being seen by the writer.B. He was angry at being disturbed by the writer.C. He was probably fast asleep.D. He was probably murdered.BTwo University of Oklahoma scientists are starting research that they hope will someday lead to the development of a vaccine (疫苗) to fight against the HIV virus, which causes AIDS.The research, to be carried out by Mark Lang, an assistant professor and microbiologist John West, will examine the basic aspects of the immune (免疫) sy stem, rather than the complex aspects of the virus.They theorize that if a key function of the body’s immune system can be found exactly, it could be the first step toward developing a vaccine.“To develop a new vaccine, we realized we first have to study and understand the immune sy stem,” Lang said.Lang said their work will focus on researching the basic antibody responses from Natural Killer－like T-cells.A potential vaccine would contain NKT cells and would improve the immune sy stem’s antibodies, which fight outside invaders（侵入物）such as HIV by preventing them from entering cells or giving the immune system enough of a boost to kill them.NKT cells, which have been a part of research into cancer and other diseases, have not previously been the focus of HIV research, Lang said.The research will last 18 months, with tests being performed on mice. The Oklahoma Center is giving $ 300,000 toward the research, and if the research proves promising, Lang and West will apply to the National Institutes of Health for more funding.“If we are successful, we will have made an important contribution to the field, but we will still be several steps away from an effective vaccine,” Lang said.Lang said that in best-case scenario（最好的情况），their research could lead to a vaccine ready for use in about four years.40.The research to be carried out will focus on _______.A. the immune sy stemB. the test performed on miceC. NKT cellsD. the HIV virus41.We can infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 8 that __________.A. other researchers need to help themB. the research seems to be a failureC. further research needs to be doneD. the vaccine can kill all viruses42.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Lang works at the National Institutes of Health.B. The research will last one and a half years.C. The vaccine is ready for use.D. The AIDS virus may cause HIV.43.What would be the best title for the passage?A. Two researchers begin to study the immune sy stemB. NKT cells have been a part of research into cancerC. The relationship between the immune system and HIVD. Two scientists work to develop HIV vaccineCHistory is full of cases where dreams have been a pathway to creativity and discovery. A striking example is provided by Dr. Otto Loewi, a pharmacologist (药理学家) and winner of a Nobel Prize. Loewi had spent years study ing the chemical transmission of nerve impulses (脉搏). A tremendous breakthrough in his research came when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row. The first two nights he woke up and w rote down the experiment quickly and untidily on paper. But the next morning, he couldn’t tell what the notes meant. On the third night, he got up after having the dream. This time, instead of making notes he went straight to his laboratory and performed the important experiment. Loewi later said that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would have rejected it.Loewi’s experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions. Nervous feelings are reduced during dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh point of view.Being able to take advantage of dreams for solving is improved if you “set” yourself before retiring. Before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem y ou wish to solve. Bury yourself in the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information. Then use the suggestions listed in the previous section to catch your dreams. Although this method is not guaranteed to produce a novel solution or a new insight, it is certain to be an adventure. About half of a group of college students using the method for a week recalled a dream that helped them solve a personal problem.44.The main idea of this passage is that _________.A. very little is really known about the meaning of dreamsB. it is possible to “catch” one’s dreams by planning before going to sleepC. dreams can be useful in producing creative solutions to one’s problemsD. Loewi’s experiment helped in the study of transmission of nerve impulses45.The first paragraph is mainly organized by _________.A. classify ing types of experimentsB. summarizing the work of one researcherC. comparing and exploring historical casesD. telling in time order about one man’s research46.If Loewi had thought of the experiment while awake, he would have _________.A. asked someone else to do itB. thought it was a bad ideaC. tried it out on his ownD. thought it was a wise idea47.The author probably thinks that _________.A. nervous feelings may stop someone thinking of useful ideasB. dreaming is of very little value to most peopleC. Loewi should not have conducted his experimentD. college students should not try out dream experimentsDToday just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have exper ienced an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock (家畜) to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being written for pig producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand” that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make shocking changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear (修剪) sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automaticall y check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete change of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.48.According to the passage, computers can not help farmers decide _______.A. how much money they can earn from their productsB. whether to plant a certain kind of cropC. what livestock to raiseD. when to sell their products49.Which of the following statements is true?A. Farmers in the future will depend totally on computers.B. Farmers mainly use machines on their farms at present.C. Both computers and robots have been in use on today’s farms.D. Students at agricultural colleges needn’t take their normal agricultural courses.50.What is the best title for the whole passage?A. Computer, Farmers’ Best FriendB. Farmers in The FutureC. The Agricultural RevolutionD. Computers and Robots第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）It is said that there are about 40,000 different kinds of jobs in the world. 51“Finding a job” is not the same as “choosing a job”. Many young people end up in a job which they are not suitable for. 52 Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing after school or university.First, it is important to realize what kind of person you are, which special qualities make you different from everyone else and what you are interested in. 53 If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest. But if y ou can draw a horse that looks like a horse instead of a big dog, that is a skill.Then ask yourself this question: in the following three areas ―skills with people, skills with information and skills with things ―which are your best skills?After examining y our skills, the next step is research. T o find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers. 54Finally, trust your own ideas and your own thinking! 55A. It is y our own life, so find something that you enjoy doing.B. Choosing the right one itself is a difficult job.C. We must know what our ideal jobs are.D. There is a difference between an interest and a skill.E. Ask your friends about the work they do.F. “Chance” may play a more important part than “decision”.G.
